Wonder Wheel Page #2
and-and you know,
you didn't.
You threw it all away!
Look at ya--
you're such a beautiful girl!
You had your pick.
I loved Frank, okay?
And all the guys you
hand-picked for me, they were--
dull, colorless, boring guys.
All of 'em, honest men,
every one of 'em.
Christ!
Your mother's
last dying request
on her deathbed
was that you didn't
run off with that
slime, Frankie Adatto.
You wouldn't give her that one
bit of satisfaction, would ya?
You wouldn't
let her die in peace.
I loved him.
I was twenty,
I... I wanted more.
More.
More. More what?
Jesus, Humpty.
There's a world out there.
This does not concern you.
All I know is
you lost your head.
Your head was in the clouds
over that gutter guinea
that flashy, cheap,
flashy little wop.
You didn't think I knew
he carried a gun up here?
Huh?
He'll know...
He'll know you came here.
No. It's the last place he'll look.
He knows how you feel about me.
Yeah.
You mean he knows
how much he hated me
for callin' it the way I saw it.
Christ.
I counted on you when she died.
I was lost.
You dumped me for that trash.
That's why he wouldn't think
I'd come here.
He knows that we haven't
exchanged words in five years
'cause bad blood
between us ran too deep.
He shows up here,
I'll kill him.
Oh, God, don't say that.
I don't--I don't want trouble.
All right.
Okay, my nerves
are shot as it is
-and you better calm down.
-All right.
Just don't tell me what
I should or shouldn't do.
She's my daughter.
Oh...
Oh...Christ.
You are a light, baby.
You are a light in my life.
Do you know
how much I missed you?
Ha?
Jesus! Suddenly, I'm starvin'.
Clean the fish, Ginny.
Yeah, yeah, I...I'll make
everybody stew.
Yeah, no...cooking relaxes my nerves.
Clean the fish?
I got a headache.
Clean the fish, Ginny,
put paper down this time,
last time you got
guts all over the floor.
Hey,
you remember Carolina?
Remember I used to bake?
I used to make you those
chocolate chip cookies?
Hm.
And I'd put a little salt on it.
Mm-hmm.
You're late!
And you're in real trouble!
You know you could
What kind of craziness is that?
Hey, listen to me.
You could hurt someone.
W-Where'd you get this
idea to make fires?
Jesus, Humpty, you sound
so happy tonight.
What happened, your
number come in?
Better than my number came in.
My ship came home.
All right, well, have a good
night at the merry-go-round.
All right, you too, man.
That's it.
Leave it right there.
How long is she
gonna stay here?
I don't know.
Hey, maybe you can
get her a job
at that clam joint
you're workin' at.
You think that's a good idea?
