You Can Count On Me Page #3

What did you do?

I didn't do anything! Maybe I was wronged?

No! Could I please... Oh my god!

Please let me tell you what happened

What happened?

I got into a fight in a bar in Florida

I was not the one who started it

But they worked up all this bullshit against me...

and they threw me in the pen for 3 months

I didn't write you because...

I didn't want you to get all upset about it

I thought, you would figure that

I was on the road for a while

It was stupid, I'm sorry

I didn't mean to make you worry

But you know what. I can't run around

doing stuff for not doing stuff

because it'll make you worry

Because I come back here

and tell you my f***in' traumas

and I get this wounded

I've let you down, bullshit. Over and over again

It just cramps me

I just wanna get out from under it

And now I'm back in this f***ing hole

explaining myself to you again!

Please stop cursing at me

I mean, I realize I'm in no position

to basically say anything

but it's not like I'm down there

in some redneck bar in Florida

having an argument with some stripper's

boyfriend

and I suddenly say to myself, hey

this would be

a good time to really stick it to Sammy

and get myself locked up for a few months

You don't write me for 6 months

I don't know where you are

I don't know if you're alive or dead

Then you show up out of nowhere

and you tell me you were in jail!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sammy

I'm really sorry

Sammy...

What?

I'm in the midst of a slight predicament

What do you need, money?

Um, yeah. I'm broke

I gotta get back to Worcester tomorrow

I got this girl there

and she's kind of in a bad situation

So... I just need to borrow some money

Whatever you can spare

I'll pay you back, man

I'll pay you back

I just...

I really wish mom was here

So do I, man

No one knows what to do with you

I know how they feel, man

Terry, can I ask you a question?

Sure

I mean, do you ever go to church anymore?

Sammy can we not talk about that sh*t?

Do you?

No, Sammy. I don't

Can you tell me why not?

Yeah, because I think it's ridiculous

Well, can you tell me without denigrating it?

It's primitive, okay, it's a fairy tale

Well have you ever considered maybe that's

what's making things so difficult for you?

No

That you've lost hold...

not just your religious feeling

but lost hold of any kind of anchor

Any kind of trust in anything

No wonder you drift around so much

I mean...

what's to stop you. How would you ever know

if you ever found the right thing

I'm not looking for anything, man

I'm just trying to get on with it

Here we go

Thank you

Thanks, Sammy

I'm really going to pay you back

Where we going?

Pick up Rudy

Well, do you even want me to visit now?
