The Lucky Ones Page #4

Is it new?

Not that new.

I've haven't really seen

much of anything lately

'cause I've been overseas

the past 14 months, and...

you know, I'm in the Army.

But I'm home on leave for 30 days,

so I'm just... I'm hoping to catch up.

I like your jacket.

It's okay.

What's the "I" stand for?

Indiana.

You know, the college and the state

where you're standing right now.

Yeah, you know, I was thinking

of going to college when I get out, but...

Do you like it?

Do you think you could be quiet?

Sure, I can be quiet.

Good.

No way.

You know, I'm limping

because when I was over there,

I got shot in the leg.

That wasn't very smart, was it?

Hey! Hey, hey, hey!

Back off! Back off!

What's wrong with you guys?

Back off!

Calm down.

No, that's right. Be afraid.

No, be very afraid.

Go, go, go!

All right!

Yeah! We won!

Kicked their college asses!

Kicked their college asses!

Oh, this girl's crazy.

Yeah.

Just glad I didn't have my weapon.

TV! TV! TV!

- I wish we had some booze.

- Yeah.

Check my bag.

Doctor in Germany gave me

a bottle of schnapps.

And a tough night here at the arena

for the home team.

- Thank you.

- All right.

Not bad.

I mean, what you really want

after a fight is whiskey

'cause it mellows you out.

If you want to get mean, you drink gin,

vodka if you want to zone out,

and you save tequila

for when you want to get crazy.

She didn't need tequila tonight.

Did anybody see a straw around here?

No. Why?

'Cause if you drink through a straw,

it gets you drunker.

That's not true.

Of course it is.

That's ridiculous.

How could that be true?

Well, I don't really know how it works.

It just... It...

It just gets in...

It just goes in faster.

Oh, it's just one of...

one of the mysteries of life?

- Is that what you're saying?

- Uh-huh.

Sh*t, man.

You okay?

I was...

You know.

Sorry.

Honey, it's me.

You there?

Pick up.

Okay. Well, we got held up a little bit,

but we'll be rolling in

in about two hours or so.

Is that the Mississippi?

That's it.

I always wanted to go

on one of those riverboats.

You know?

Do you think maybe we could stop?

No.

Pat!

Pat!

Honey! I'm home!

Honey?

Sure you got the right house?

Yeah.

Can't believe your own dog

doesn't know you.

We don't have a dog.

Yes, sir.

You have a good life here, Cheaver.

There you are.

Fred.

You're home.

I missed you.

God, I missed you.

Let me get the dog to stop.

Whose dog is that?

Mine.

No, no, no.

Pogo, you come with me.

Yes. You come with me.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

I'm gonna put you in here for a while.

Yes, I know. I'm sorry.

Mommy loves you.

So.

Where you been all my life?

How's your back?

It's fine.
