The Indian in the Cupboard Page #6

---

Damn!

All right, everybody, stay in

double line, please. Thank you.

Follow Mrs Cox.

That's a wonderful

story that you're writing.

- Yeah.

- Have you read about the Iroquois?

What interested you the most?

There were six tribes

that joined together to stop the war.

They formed a true government,

our constitution borrowed from them.

- Yeah.

- So, what else?

As you know, I got to get

going to computer class.

- OK, I'll show you.

- No!

What are you doing?

- I'm just having fun.

- They're two real men.

- It's not fun.

- Shove it!

Hello! Excuse me.

What's going on here? What happened?

What happened?

All right, somebody start talking.

- We can't resolve this now.

- We need to try.

- I can resolve it. Want to see how?

- No!

- I could do it!

- Do what?

No, no!

- I could show. I could.

- Show what?

You can't. They're people.

You can't use people.

All right...

Patrick, show me

what's in your pouch.

Please.

Patrick, show me

what's in your pouch.

They're just plastic toys.

Plazteck people.

- They're just completely plazteck.

- OK.

- That's fine.

- Plazteck.

- Yes. Thank you. Let me see.

- Plazteck.

Let me see.

They're just people.

Why don't you two work this out?

But no more fighting, OK?

- All right.

- Go catch up with your class.

"It's just like having a child.

"Every time I'm away from him,

I worry that he's OK.

"I come home and open the door

"and worry about what I will find.

"But he's a man.

I can't treat him like a baby."

Good. Sam.

"JFK.

"JFK was about

the youngest man ever president.

"There were little kids

in the White House."

Mum, can Patrick

please spend the night?

- Yeah, I think so.

- Spend the night?

It's a wife.

Excuse me.

- That's great. Come on.

- Look at 'em.

Who will she be?

- What is that?

- It's a wife.

A wife? My mother should

choose me a wife.

But your mother's not here.

I've been thinking about

settling down my own self.

It's gone. The cupboard's gone.

Who would take it?

- Where is it?

- Where's what?

- The cupboard, butt-head.

- Who gave you that cupboard?

Please, where's the cupboard?

Gili, please.

Where's my rat ball?

Where? Please?

In the crawlspace.

Damn.

The key! Where's the key?

There was no key. I swear.

You mean, we've got to live

here forever? Little like this?

No new wife for Little Bear?

No baby? He needs a baby.

I could look for another key.

I want to go home. We've just got

the railroad coming through town

and we've got a new doctor,

a good doctor.

Hell, it's 1879. I'm living

at the dawn of a new century.

Now I know what

you was talking about.

God sure do play with men, all right.

There is no god here.
