The Lucky One Page #3

is this mess here, now, huh?

We gotta teach you how to tie

a proper tie, boy.

Whoo-wee.

I love you in that dress, huh?

Makes me wish I never would have

signed those papers.

Tell me about your new boyfriend.

What?

- Soldier boy, huh?

Don't ask me about him.

I didn't hire him.

- He has nothing to do with me.

- Okay. Okay.

Hey, Mama.

Place is looking great.

- You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

Thank you so much for coming.

Really good to see you. Here you go.

We've got the governor in our camp.

I just heard.

Benny. Wait a second,

where's my grandson?

- There he is.

- Come here, Benny.

How you doing, sweetie?

He's fighting the good fight

for Hamden's future.

- Tell your mama how we gonna win.

- Vote Clayton.

All right, and...?

- The name you trust.

- And you know.

- The name you know.

- Yep.

- The judge you trust, the mayor we need.

- Ha, ha, ha. This kid is sharp as a tack.

He's gonna do great things.

You mark my word.

Where did you dig up that jacket?

Come on.

It's just a garden party, Daddy.

It's not just a garden party.

How you doing, judge?

- How are you?

- Good to see y'all. Thank you so much.

- Nice to see you.

Come on, Dexter, go get it.

Go. Yeah.

Yes. Whoo!

That's it, boy, get it, get it.

Pick it up. Come on.

Whoa!

That man is so irritating.

Every time I turn around he's just--

- Good morning.

Mm.

So you were saying?

We moved around a lot, so I kind of

grew up everywhere, and nowhere.

That must have been hard, huh?

Changing schools, leaving friends.

It was okay. It was all I knew.

- Mm. But you went to college?

Yes, ma'am. Just for a year.

What'd you study?

He didn't study much

if it was just for a year.

Elizabeth Green.

- I liked philosophy.

- Really?

Yeah, I like to read.

Give us a quote of your

favorite philosopher.

"Sometimes the questions are complicated

and the answers are simple."

- Don't tell me.

Voltaire?

It's Voltaire, isn't it?

It's Dr. Seuss.

Thank you very much the tea, Mrs. Green.

I should get back to work.

Will you call me "Ellie,"

for goodness sake?

Voltaire.

What sound does a tiger make?

"This lazy ladybug

didn't know how to fly."

I wanna turn the page.

You can turn the page next.

"One day the lazy ladybug wanted

to sleep somewhere else."

This looks great, you guys.

That's beautiful.

Julie's not coming back

after she has the baby.

We'd really like to have you

back full-time.

I can't right now, Rhonda. I'm sorry.

A violin?

A violin? Only girls play violins. Don't you

play, like, basketball or something?

Fine.

The girl wants back his violin.

It's his mom. Let's go. Let's go.

Hey.

You okay?

Not bad.

I didn't think anyone was listening.
