The Yellow Handkerchief Page #3

You heard me crying?

Last night?

I wonder how many times a day I cry.

I should count one day.

I bet I'd be amazed.

Do you cry?

No.

I don't anymore.

You can cry around me.

If you want to.

Well.

Well!

Well, if it isn't the general hisself.

Guess what?

I heard on the radio they've

suspended all public transportation,

so I'm your only way out of here.

Well, that was kind of you

to come back for us, Gordon.

No problem. You sure do need

saving a lot, don't you?

Where did you get the coat?

Oh. It's kind of different, huh?

I wondered when you'd notice.

We noticed right away.

We just didn't know what to say.

Well, I got it because it's hard

for me to find a coat that really fits,

'cause I have really wide shoulders.

I don't know if you've noticed,

but I have unusually wide shoulders

and a small tapering waist.

I guess it's a little weird

for me to buy,

you know, since they killed

my people and all.

You know.

It's a problem to find a coat

that fits though.

See? Wide, small.

Oh, I have the pics.

Yeah, I got them done.

That one-hour

was the first place open.

There were

all these news stations there.

They wanted anybody's pictures

of the storm.

Oh, my God!

They're awesome.

Look at that.

You didn't think I knew

what I was talking about, did you?

Why are you on the road, chief?

Me?

Yeah, you.

Oh, I just go

to see something new.

I can get a job anywhere.

I have money to last me.

I'll probably see my dad

in New Orleans,

if he didn't get washed away

by the storm.

You know, I haven't heard

from him in a while, so...

What do you do?

I fix computers that can't be fixed.

How about you?

Why are you on the road?

Everybody's gotta

go somewhere, right?

Excuse me,

I have to use the bathroom.

You know, when you think about it...

he's a--he's a stranger.

We just picked him up.

We don't really know him.

Maybe we should--

Maybe we should just leave him.

I know him better than I know you.

We can't just leave him here.

We gotta take him

somewhere he can get a ride.

Excuse me,

do you know anyone

who does handy work,

boat work for a little money?

No.

Thanks.

I'll do it.

- What?

- Stuff I know how to do.

For the Whaler.

The Boston Whaler.

Little speedboat.

The dirty one up front.

Oh.

So l--I don't know

if you want to let it go.

Nope.

Well, thanks anyway.

Hey!

Whenever you think the trade is even,

you can stop.

I like being here down by the water.

Well, I don't really like

owing anybody anything.

You can stop me anytime.

I'm going back out to the oil rig

for a month to make some dough,

so I'll be gone for a while.

Well, then the boat's yours.

Not yet.

You should probably know that.
