Yelling to the Sky Page #5

I think you're gonna have

to pull another one.

No. Remember,

I still have options.

But not many.

You're right.

Oh.

Another one.

This is not fair.

You rigged this.

Here's your daddy's bones.

OLA:
Okay. Here we go.

Come here.

Come here.

Here you go.

Hold that for a second.

Here.

Is that good?

Down a little.

F***!

All right.

Latonya.

Latonya!

I heard you used to

tell great stories.

Sweetie, your curiosity

will be the thing that saves you.

From what?

Dr. Stills ran clear across the room

to literally catch you.

Ola arrived cautious.

She needed persuading.

But you just flew out.

Would you let me

do your hair?

It's already done.

I could fix the ends.

Okay.

When we're ready.

What?

Nothing.

It's my serve?

Yeah, yeah. It's on.

I'm preoccupied.

Ro, that was so you.

Silence.

Your play's no good.

At least I can

hit the ball, right?

Yeah, for real. For real.

Like that one's gonna...

There.

Nice.

Get that.

That's how you serve,

right there.

Jojo, you ain't even playing.

Just standing there looking cute and sh*t.

It's like... 100%.

Yeah.

Come on, Jojo.

Oh...

Hey, Roland.

Oh, my God!

Oh, sh*t.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop.

Nah, he's gonna get up.

Stop.

Sweetie.

Ever wonder if you had someone

who caught Mommy,

or if someone

would've caught Daddy?

What's more bizarre?

That both Mommy and Daddy

have brothers named David John,

or that one was an Irish cop and

the other was an activist?

Stop changing the subject.

Say something real.

What?

Forget it. Just leave.

I'm sorry for the way

I used to beat on you.

I'm surprised you

never bring it up.

I didn't want us to

stop being friends.

Why bother?

How far do you plan to run?

Far enough not to live with

my folks with a baby.

Yeah?

That's exactly what I said.

You hungry?

She's just gonna

chew through that.

Yeah, well, she can chew it to bits.

Whatever makes her happy.

What was that for?

You know, it was owed.

Is your mother resting?

Yeah, she's still napping.

I guess she

didn't wake up while...

While what?

Nothing.

Where did

Sweetness run off to?

I don't know

where Sweetie went.

Ola.

Seriously, I don't know

where she went.

All right. Whatever.

I'm gonna fix some food.

Ready?

We're gonna leave in a bit.

I mean, sh*t, look at him.

Yo, I gotta get

Ol's car back.

We roll in an hour.

One hour.

Yo, you better

watch your homegirl.

It looks like she's on the loose over there.

What the f***?

It's been a rough day.

Yo.

Close the door, man.

In or out?

Open door just

invites unwanteds.

Sure. Why not?

Whoo-hoo!

Whoa.

O'Hara.

Coleman.

No sh*t.

Which one of us

is worse off, man?

Um...

I don't know.
