The Favor Page #3

in a couple months.

Tommy's Denver?

- Emily, you gotta look him up for me.

- And say what?

He's got a sporting goods store

right downtown:
Andrews Sporting.

Pretend you're buying a gun.

You haven't seen him since you were 16.

He's probably fat, bald, and ugly.

Great! What better way to

put me out of my suffering?

Think about it.

Why spoil a great fantasy?

It's beginning to make my

marriage look like sludge.

- You have a wonderful marriage.

- Exactly.

Come on, do me a favor.

Just look at him.

Maybe.

The last thing are

these two there.

Jamison Thomas Gallery?

Which one goes on the left?

It's not enough

just to look him up.

This one. Definitely.

What are you talking about?

I have to know what it's like.

You must sleep with him.

I've got a plane to catch in 30 minutes.

Are these the invoices?

Listen to me.

Someone's got to complete the mission.

I can't sleep with Tommy, but you can.

It's the only way.

Don't say another word.

I'm your gal.

- You're not taking me seriously.

- Yes, I am.

Go there and not sleep with

your ex-boyfriend? That's stupid.

You don't seem to understand.

This is really getting to me.

I'm just asking you

a simple favor.

I'll try to look him up, okay?

Thank you!

And Saturday, come straight

to my house from the airport.

And when you meet him,

don't wear this.

I hate this on you.

Three plus three is six.

One plus one is two.

- 10 plus 10 is 20.

- Wait, Mom. Give us a few more minutes!

It's 8:
00 Saturday night.

You know the rule.

Okay, bed.

Come on, Hannah.

There you go.

Did you brush your teeth?

All right.

Thank you.

How about you?

Brush your teeth?

- Yeah.

- Good girl.

Good night, sweetheart.

- Good night, Mommy.

- Good night, Mommy.

Come on, Ollie.

Good night, Ollie.

Did I mention that I love you?

- I love you, too, Mom.

- I love you.

Good night.

The attractor splits in two.

Magnetic fields drift.

Impulse becomes erratic.

She walked in the room

So she could rub his neck

Then she gave

him a little kiss

Something like this

Then on Monday,

she calls him on the phone

Says she'll bring

the kids home"

From ballet lessons so that I can

stay at school and correct papers?

Fat chance.

- I'm so glad I'm married to you.

- What brought that on?

Your music.

It's beautiful.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- You lie like a rug.

- I don't lie!

- I'll get it.

- No. That's Emily.

So?

It was a good trip.

Did you see anybody I know?

Hey, Em.

- Spill it.

- You sure you want to hear this?

He's a fat slob.

Emily, what is the point

if you don't tell me?

Is he married with five kids?

Is he a bum? Is he dead?

What? See?

Look, I'm just making myself crazy.
