Three Wishes Page #3

Always tell Mommy

where you're going.

Yes, sir.

Honey?

Hi, I'll just be one...

He's outside.

He's making sun tea.

Sun tea?

Then it's moon toast

and star jam?

And the next thing you know,

it's a heavenly breakfast?

Hank, go outside.

- Would you like some coffee?

- Coffee?

Is it sun coffee?

How can you ask me that?

Who is he?

Where did he come from?

Does he have any identification?

Don't you realize he could be dangerous?

- You don't know a thing about him.

- I do know.

He is not of this world.

Are you saying he's from

someplace else, like outer space?

- I'm pretty sure. I can't...

- How do you know?

Scout's honor, Joyce.

He can fly.

And he has a third eye

right in the middle of his forehead.

- Green, just like the other two.

- You're makin' that up.

- You act like this thing is a joke.

- Joyce.

Well?

It's good tea.

Hi, Brian.

- Good work.

- Thanks.

I'll clean up.

Here we go.

See you Saturday.

- Get some rest.

- Bye, Coach.

As I was saying, brakes

were screeching, then it crashed.

People came running,

but I got there first.

You should've seen.

Bones were sticking out.

There was blood everywhere.

He wouldn't even get on the stretcher.

He walked to the ambulance.

This guy, if he's for real...

- Could we meet him sometime?

- Maybe.

- Bye.

- Bye, Tom.

I saw your club last night.

What was in the box?

How'd you see?

What are you, a Russki spy?

No, he's a Peeping Tom.

You get it? Tom.

- Can I join?

- Very doubtful, Holman.

Tell us why we'd want

a bellyache in our club.

- Come on, guys. Let's go.

- You wanna meet Jack, don't you?

Holman, this better be good.

- What is this, Holman?

- Yeah, what are you trying to do?

- What the hell is going on here?

- Boys, inside.

What the hell do you think

you are doing here?

Sunbathing.

You know, I know how guys

like you operate.

Jeanne never actually

invited you here, did she?

No, you're right.

She didn't invite me.

She insisted.

Yeah, sure.

Honey!

Enjoy.

But what does it get you?

You. That is what I care about.

I'm only gonna say this

one more time.

Bringing a perfect stranger

into your home isn't like you.

Let me show you something.

It's the last thing I expected.

Where did this come from?

All these years I've been away,

building up the business...

I carried it around with me.

Why?

Maybe you were the one

I was doing it all for.

Dirty freight cars.

Gettin' caught in the rain,

nobody to talk to.

The whole world does come to you.

Every place that you

ever wanted to see...

and a few that you

cannot even imagine.

Like the salt flats in Utah.

What are the salt flats?

The flattest place on Earth,

a place that's cracked like the moon...
