- Moping around his baby-sitters.
Yeah? He's...
He's a great kid.
I was actually thinking you should
have him come down to school and...
Come on, Wayne. Let's not talk
shop tonight, all right?
- Let's just have fun.
- Okay.
- Hi there, fun-seekers.
- Hey, there.
- How about a dance with Daddy?
- Of course I will, handsome.
Mr. King, I don't know
if you know, Annie Wilson.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
I think I've seen you at church.
- That is quite a dress, Miss Linda.
- I'm glad somebody noticed.
- You want to give it a try?
- Oh, no. No, I don't think so.
No, thank you.
Come on. I asked you to dance,
not walk on hot coals.
When was the last time
you danced?
I think it's so long,
I've forgotten how to do it.
Well, I'll make you look good then,
'cause I'm a terrible dancer.
Wayne.
I'll dance.
- Good luck.
- Yeah.
Missed your big chance.
Thank you.
Somebody
might come in here.
I guess you
better f*** me fast.
You having a good time?
Me neither.
You seen Jessica around?
She up and disappeared on me again.
She's got a way of doing that.
- What do you think of Jessica?
- She's... She's very beautiful.
Yeah, the main thing
about her, she's just...
so full of life.
We're a little different
in that respect.
Oh.
I'm used to tennis shoes.
This kind of reminds me
when I was a kid.
I'd sit out on that porch.
I'd have so many thoughts,
just couldn't count 'em.
How'd you
wind up in Brixton?
My husband. He got a job here
at the cable plant.
Right.
What?
Did... Did you know...
something was going
to happen to your husband?
In an E.S.P. kind of way?
- Well, I don't know...
- You don't believe in it.
I don't know.
I guess I just...
I don't believe there
are any great mysteries in life.
I kind of figure what
you see is what you get.
Well,
I didn't know that there
was going to be an explosion.
But... the night before,
I had this real bad,
bad dream, you know.
I dreamt that I was all by myself.
That Ben...
He wasn't
around anymore and...
tried to stop him going to work
the next day, but...
So you can't keep
a good man from work, right?
You kind
of remind me of him.
Wayne?
- I've been looking for you.
- I've been right here.
I see.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Let's go talk to Daddy.
He's feeling real depressed tonight.
That big deal
he's working on went bad.
Oh, we got a major crisis
here, Annie. Excuse us?
- Okay.
- Bye.
See you later, alligator.
- In a while, crocodile.
- Good night, boys.
Go to sleep for Mama.
- What's that, hon?
- Blueberry muffins.
