The Off Hours Page #4

what I thought it would be.

- More books.

- More books.

Boring.

I could sleep here.

Do you wanna come back here

with me?

It's probably not a good idea.

You sure?

No.

I'm sorry.

Um... I'm sorry.

You shouldn't be sorry.

Wanna play

with the broken radio?

You saw me looking at it,

didn't you?

Yeah.

It's more wishing it worked

so I could call for help.

Breaker, breaker.

I, uh, am feelin'

a little lonely out here.

Yeah.

It's really not the same

when you know

no one can hear you.

You still early.

I didn't get to eat.

What you want?

Mm... apple pie.

Is good dinner.

Want me to warm it up?

No, I like it cold.

Here is.

So dreamy just

for a truck driver?

Shut up.

It's me!

The machine by the back door,

it don't spin.

I'll fix it.

And you owe.

For before and for this.

Is your little girl coming?

No.

I don't have any cash,

can I pay you tomorrow?

You know...

if you're happy,

your little girl

like you better.

Thanks for the tip.

- I'm on a break.

- I didn't say anything.

All the storage units

have a number, right?

So you have to, like,

remember which number

goes to which one,

you know what I'm saying?

I know, what's the point

of the story?

I'm just saying, there's

this one that's been locked

for like a while.

- Probably just someone's junk.

- Maybe there's something

in there we can sell,

I don't know.

It's probably not that valuable

if they're keepin' it there.

They'd probably keep it

at their house.

I don't know, man.

Can't you just go

look at the record

and see who rented

the damn unit?

Well, yeah, I mean...

- Not workin'?

- Not yet.

Um, I was gonna go for a walk,

do you wanna go?

Yeah.

- Hey, man.

- Hey.

How you doin'?

- Great.

- Right on.

- Who is that?

- Holy sh*t.

Ohh...

Yolanda.

Jelena.

Jelena.

It's almost like you live here.

Do you ever go home?

I been pullin'

some extra runs lately.

- You cold?

- A little bit.

- Here.

- No!

You don't have to do that.

Come on.

I'm gonna take it.

Got it.

So those guys back there,

they, uh, friends of yours?

Uh...

that's my brother

and his friend.

Seem like the type

that had a brother.

I don't...

s that good or bad?

No, it's good.

You seem just like

you can hold your own.

Mm-hm.

That's my foster brother.

There were four boys and me.

So, is this

your dream come true,

bein' a trucker?

No.

I was actually

a banker for 10 years.

D'you get fired?

No, my branch closed,

and, I don't know.

I was looking for another job,

I just realized

I don't want to spend

the rest of my life

behind a desk, so...

just thought

this would be a good way

to get some perspective.

Huh.

Oh, the jacket.

Very nice move, the gentleman.
