Vision Quest Page #4

I'm going to be a

doctor in outer space.

Good. You won't have to

know a thing about me.

I'll be stuck on earth.

I'm 18, by the way...

Draft age, as of three days ago.

I was wondering

how old you were.

I've been 21 since I was 14.

Hey, Larry.

Hi, Elsie, bill.

That's the first time

I've hit a man in anger

since I was louden's age.

Sorry. I didn't catch your name.

It's Carla.

So, what did they say?

Like, Mr. edwards, especially.

I've looked for jobs before.

Oh, great. You've been fired.

Sh*t. I'm sorry.

I didn't want you to lose a job.

Me, neither.

Where are you

going to get another job?

They should've fired that

other guy passing off junk.

Will I get my money back?

Hell, no. They don't

operate that way.

That lemon and 20

bucks was all I had.

Pop, can I talk to you a minute?

Sure. Oh, you mean private?

Yeah.

Excuse us.

Elsie, I'll have two eggs,

toast, and black coffee.

You got it, Larry.

Beating up on guys

makes you hungry.

I'll get another

job. Don't worry.

It's not that. It's her.

She doesn't have

any transportation

or anyplace to stay.

Maybe we could ask her

to stay with us

till you fix the car

or whatever.

This girl's been arcund

the block a few times.

We don't know a thing about her.

She's from New Jersey.

She's on her way to California.

Just so you realize

she's her own person,

not some puppy we found.

Yeah.

It's just helping someone

who's had bad luck.

That's all I'm saying.

Carla, have you got

a place to stay?

I was planning on leaving

this dump in my own car.

If you want to,

you can stay with us.

Come and go as you please.

You'd do that?

Why?

Where we come from,

people believe in

helping each other.

Don't worry. I can

take care of myself.

You've got a place

if you want it.

What about your wife?

What's she going to say?

She doesn't live

with us anymore.

Not much into decor, are you?

I spend most of the

time in the basement.

I'll make some room

for you in here.

Is this a problem for anybody?

What?

Is this a problem for anybody?

No.

I won those last year.

I was a natural,

first year and all.

I got to the state

quarter-finals,

which everybody said

was pretty amazing

for a first-year wrestler.

See...

The thing is my balance.

It's more important

than strength or speed.

You've got to feel where

the other guy's going.

Then you use his

strength against him,

if you've got perfect balance,

which I do.

I've got kinesthetic awareness.

I always know where my body is

in relation to...

Louden?

She fell asleep.

Let's turn out the light

and let her sleep.

Well, 11:
00, kid.

Another day down the

tubes and gone forever.
