The Wait Page #3

I'm making her something.

What for?

She struck me.

Something that maybe she used to

really like and then forgot about.

We have this too.

Her first toy.

Can I have it back?

Sweetie, time to get up.

I met a boy, Mom.

Will you hang out with me

while I get my nails done?

Okay.

Awesome.

Should we get haircuts?

Okay.

So many colors.

Spin it.

Spin it.

Am I late?

Didn't see you.

You saying

I blend in?

You scared me.

I'm scary

when I'm hungry.

I've known you for a day

and you've got me stealing.

Better be good.

I like Grandpa's car.

Do you get to have it?

Grandma might want

to use it.

I'm sorry she's sick.

No, she's not.

It's okay.

She's not.

A horse got covered

in that stuff yesterday.

It was sad.

I saw it.

It won't hurt it.

It's just magnesium

and water...

and a little iron oxide

filled with fertilizer.

You know,

they used to sacrifice them to stop fires.

I thought

they used people.

Horses, people, robots.

What am I doing?

Maybe try

eating something.

Sorry. I...

I just can't do this.

All right,

how much again?

A hundred.

Oh, sh*t.

My wallet.

This is all I have.

40?

Forty.

For the preemie.

The preemie.

Yeah.

The runt.

Oh, a box.

I'll keep it a secret.

Angela?

Hello? Angela.

Star my number.

We lived together

for four years.

You never swore at me ever.

Not once.

And I thought

that was normal.

You made me smart.

You made me not afraid.

Listen...

Why?

You liar.

You told me

I was paranoid.

You were kidding? My baggage?

Are you kidding me?

I have never felt as old

and ugly as I have this year!

And you just kept saying,

"No, no, no," and I knew it!

I knew it!

And you said no!

- You said no. No!

- Angela...

No!

It's my mom's.

I thought you could use

it for your project.

Hi, kids.

Hey, Dad.

This is Angela.

Hi.

Hi.

- Wish I could stay and chat.

- It's fine.

How was your game?

Pretty mean.

But I think I saw an alien.

I wish you

could have met her.

What was she like?

Like that?

I love loving you.

Hey, baby.

Yeah, I used to call you that.

Everyone's asking

about the computer.

Yeah.

How's Karen?

She's good.

A little bored.

I got her a present.

She's gonna get it

tomorrow.

Chorus Singing,

Faint ]

Okay. You wanna meet by the lake?

Just follow the bouncing ball.

You too.

Can I use

your computer?

No, not tonight.

I watched that damn thing

on there 20 times.

Well, ours

is getting fixed.

Just can't get it

out of my head.

Why'd she let go?

Yeah.

Watching that stuff's

really addictive.

It's a huge problem

in China.

Well, if it's

a huge problem in China,

don't you think

it's a huge problem here?

What'd you find?

Oh, just a book
