Winter Passing Page #3

- Hi!

Who are you?

Corbit!

Is my dad around?

- Who's your dad?

- Don Holden!

Got any I!D!?

- I!D!?

- Yeah! Preferably passport or driver's license!

- Seriously?

- Seriously!

- What's your date of birth?

- April 6, 1980!

- Zodiac sign?

- Aries!

Are you, like,

his secret service guy or something?

Sort of! He's in the garage!

- What's he doing in there?

- That's where he lives now!

- Who lives in the house?

- Me!

Me and Shelly!

- Who's Shelly?

- She's a girl!

Just this girl! You don't know her!

You look different than your pictures!

Yeah, well, people change, right?

Well, I gotta go rock!

Okay!

If you see Mr! Holden,

tell him his balls are clean!

Dd

What? Who's there?

Corbit? Shelly?

Reese!

Hey, Daddy!

Come in! Come in!

Here! Sit!

Oh, I've been sitting all day,

but thanks!

What a surprise!

- You want a drink?

- Sure!

What are those pills for?

Those were your mother's!

They! help me sleep!

I hardly use 'em!

So, what brings you home?

Oh, I don't know!

I just thought it was time!

If you need me to write you a check

or something, all you gotta do is ask!

Whew!

- How was the funeral?

- Pretty low-key!

Fair amount of her fans showed up!

No Pin the Tail on the Donkey

or anything like that!

- Where is she buried anyway?

- They cremated her!

Your Uncle Dick took her ashes

back to Louisville!

So that guy in the house said

you were living in here now!

Yeah. Pretty easy.

I got my books and my bed, my worktable.

Got this- Got a new stove here!

Are you writing?

A little here and there!

Shelly!

This is my daughter, Reese!

- Reese, Shelly.

- Hello!

- Hey.

- Reese just arrived from New York!

Well, it's such a surprise!

- Here you are!

- Mmm! Good! Thank you!

The car's making strange noises again!

Probably the transmission.

Have Corbit take a look at it.

Well, I should go put this stuff

in the fridge!

- Nice to finally meet you, Reese!

- Bye!

Bye!

Wow! Where's she from, Wimbledon?

She's one of my former students!

She needed a place to get away

from things for a while!

She's been a big help.

- You still teaching?

- I stepped down a few semesters ago!

Why?

I got tired!

Corbit!

Come in!

Corbit, I understand you've

already met my daughter.

She'll be staying with us...

for an undisclosed period of time!

- In the house?

- In her old bedroom! Yeah!

What about Shelly?

She'll be okay

on the sofa for a while!

- The upstairs study's open!

- I don't want anybody in there!

I'm sure Shelly won't mind!

Right on!

Uh, Shelly told me

to tell you that dinner...

will be served promptly at 6:30!

And if Reese doesn't like chicken...

there's meat loaf and twice-baked potatoes

left over from Monday.
