The Best Thief in the World Page #3

Yes. Yes, they do.

He always such a...

strong spirit, you know?

Jesus, susan,

i'm so sorry.

What can i do?

I need time, debbie,

for paul to get better

and to figure it out.

What if he doesn't

get better?

He will. I just can't work, and

i can't afford to lose my job.

Uh, how many sick days

do you have?

I don't need sick days.

I need six months.

I can be back right after

the winter holiday.

That's out of my hands, sue.

That's the school board.

I mean, we don't have enough

money to hire teachers as it is.

Okay, then.

Thanks.

So it's not okay to blame me

or the school

for the difficult situation

you find yourself in.

I'm sorry.

I don't blame you or the school.

I'm not a stupid woman.

I know you'll do

what you can.

[Kids speaking indistinctly]

No, honey...

you're a good brother.

Go on.

Go on ahead.

Go on ahead,

you guys.

Jesus! Mom?

Hello yourself.

That's some greeting.

You don't answer the phone,

you don't write.

I took the bus.

No big deal.

From michigan?

Yes, of course.

It was from michigan.

It's a waste of money,

these airplanes.

Flying all over!

I don't care.

It makes no difference

to me.

Bunch of thugs on the bus,

same as everywhere.

What happened to this one?

He had a stroke, ma.

I told you that.

Looks terrible.

I knew this would happen.

I knew all these years.

You have no idea what's going

on, so don't judge, okay?

Just give me a second.

I haven't had a chance

to clean up.

Looks like a pigsty.

I know, mom.

Jesus.

Uh...

see where i get my

sweet disposition from?

Sit down.

Take a load off.

It's selfish, susan.

Disgraceful and selfish

raising your kids here.

You should come home

where you belong.

I told you once,

i told you a thousand times...

okay, shut up.

This is my home.

Oh! "shut up,"

she says!

Listen to this one.

Wait till you hit bottom.

Then we'll see who

you're shushing up.

It'll happen, susan.

Look at you.

Susan!

Look at you!

I can't.

I'm leaving.

You live here.

Well, i meant

to the bedroom.

To the back of the house.

I know where i live.

[Sighs]

[Grunts]

Ow.

You don't have to

hurt yourself.

Just draw a little blood.

Now i can show you.

You feel any different?

No.

You'll see.

See, you should always still

have what you're gonna buy.

Not everything.

This way, you maximize your game

and minimize your risks.

Check this out.

All right.

Oh, sh*t!

I don't believe it!

You try.

Anybody can do it.

$1.50.

Oh.

Um, my bad.

Yo, Izzy, you got

50 cents?

You want a bag?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Hey, yo, man.

The guy didn't even hesitate.

He was like, "yo, kid,

hand over the money."

It's because you weren't

smooth about it.
