Where Hope Grows Page #3

Now you get back

to work, young man.

You have a nice day,

Mr. Campbell.

- You, too, Dexter.

- I'm sorry about the hug.

Nah, like I said.

Hey, Produce.

I'm impressed.

- Frank?

- Hi, Susan.

Is Milt here?

Is everything okay?

Yeah, yeah, it's good.

I just need to talk to him.

Yeah, come in.

- You doing all right?

- Yeah, nice to see you.

- You, too.

- Milt.

- Hey, buddy, what's up?

- What's up, man?

- What's up?

- You doing all right?

Yeah.

What's going on?

Okay, um...

there's no easy way

to ask you this, so...

- Okay.

- I need to borrow some money for a hotel room.

It's not long.

I'll pay you back.

- What happened?

- I got evicted.

Hadn't paid in a while,

so kinda had it comin'.

Well, you're not getting

in any hotel, all right?

You stay here, all right?

We got plenty of room.

- You're like family.

- Man, I...

No, no, no, no. Stay here.

We got plenty of room.

So I got some

towels if you want to take a shower

and help yourself

to anything in the kitchen.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

No. Colt, hang on.

What?

What's going on?

Just slow down.

The hell are you doing?

I'm cold.

Come on, take that jacket off,

get back in bed.

You know how many girls

wanna get with me right now?

But here I am.

I'm trying to be faithful to you.

I just want it to be special

for my first time.

Wait, you... so you're...

you're a virgin?

- Yeah.

- But you said that you've been...

I know.

I... I lied.

I just wanted you

to like me, so I said it.

This is awesome, you know that?

Listen, I got some wine

out in my Jeep, okay?

It's in a box,

so we don't need an opener or anything.

- That's special, right?

- You don't get it.

No, you don't get it, Katie.

You can't just tease

a guy like this.

I said just lay back down.

- Katie?

Hey, Katie?

Hey, Katie bear, I just...

I just wanted

to come say good night.

Wha... hey.

What are you doing with your

jacket on in your bed?

Hey, what's wrong?

Is there something

I can do to help?

Please get out.

Okay.

Hey, Mr. Campbell.

How you doing?

Where's the shopping cart?

I don't know.

I'm not here to shop.

I guess I just...

I guess I just came to talk.

To me?

Yeah, to you.

I guess I could use

some of that magical happiness

that you always seem to have.

- So, what's your secret?

- It's no secret, Mr. Campbell.

Well, you're doing

something right.

You're doing a heck of a

lot better than I'm doing.

Do you think that I'm smart

enough to do anything?

Anything in the whole

wide world?

- Well, come on.

- Where are we going?

All right.

Where...

where are we going, buddy?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Look it.

I'm not authorized personnel.

I can't go back there.
