9 Full Moons Page #4

I could totally use a cigarette

and a stiff drink right now.

Don't worry about it,

you and Lev are gonna

pull through this,

and have an amazing

looking baby.

So, I ran

into Bobby Levine

yesterday morning

at the coffee shop.

Remember Bobby?

Mandy's little brother.

She's married now,

did you know that?

Life moves on, huh?

Yeah.

Everything

keeps changing.

That's pretty big news.

Why are you bringing

that up right now?

Well you know

Mandy scarred you.

Mandy is a different

story man, I mean...

I'm just looking

out for your interests.

That's it.

Oh my interest?

Look man, me and Frankie

are having a baby.

I'm gonna be a father.

Do you have any idea

what that means?

Alright let's

get the f*** out of here,

I gotta take a dump.

Thank you Lev.

Bye Ronnie.

Yeah, right let's split.

He was drunk, obviously.

You never told

me that you grew up here.

That's because we agreed

to keep it in the present.

Yeah well,

things are changing.

Nice strong heartbeat.

Is that the heart?

Yeah, see?

Everything looks terrific.

Are you and what was

his name, Lev, right?

Are you doing Lamaze?

No, he

hasn't had time to.

You know

what a lot of couples

have their problems but

you could consider maybe

doing it with a relative

or a really good friend,

people find it very helpful.

I will see you in

four weeks, alright?

I kind of had a

similar one here but it really

made no sense at the end,

"Let me taste the blood

"of broken hearts

and busted lips,

"Let me sweep the floor, clean

the glasses, count the tips. "

Kind of like closing out

at the end of the line.

That's not bad, that's...

More what you

were talking about, right?

It's pretty good.

Well it's

getting there.

Hello?

Hey Billie.

Charlie is that you?

It's me, yeah.

What time is

it, how you doing?

Hey did you get

that email I sent you?

I stuck some song in there,

I attached one of

them mp3 files.

So what did you think?

I'm thinking that

we have a release date

next week, and I'm thinking

that you're about to lose

the ranch if you don't make

your mortgage payments.

It's great out

here I'm writing real good,

you know I feel really free.

I feel real good, I feel I

don't know maybe it's just like

I'm not so lonely

anymore you know?

Are you

drinking Charlie?

Oh hey, Lev, I

wanted you to meet Eugene.

What's going on, Lev?

That's the kid

that's been tinkering

with the music and

screwing it up?

Lev.

Five months I have

worked on that f***ing sh*t

to make it, to make it right.

And now what?

I f***ed up?

No, you didn't f***

up, I like what you did.

Oh you liked it.

You f***ing set there

like a cheerleader

bobbing your head, man.

Look, Charlie

has creative control.

It's out of my hands,

there's nothing I

can do about it, man.

F***ing bullshit man,

that's such f***ing bullshit

Look you're still

getting paid the same

and I think you guys

can work together.

F*** you!

No don't go there man...

No f*** you man, you

have no f***ing morals!

I don't have

f***ing morals, yeah ok,

alright, so f***ing push

me, why don't you punch me

cause that's how you

deal with things,

'cause you have daddy issues!

Go ahead!

Man, I don't know how

to f***ing help you man.

Lev.

Talk to me.

F*** you Charlie.

Are you sure you don't want

to go to the record release?

Sadie called and invited

us, I'll go with you.

No.

Okay.

So sad.

I'm gonna sit the fat lady

over here, to cheer you up.

Don't worry babe, I'm

gonna find something else.

I know.

Maybe I can get a part time job.

We'll be okay.

Kim Rose?

Hi.

This way.

Excuse me ma'am.

girlfriend, at 1 What's her name?

It's Frankie.

Oh she's already inside,

the door, 501.

Thank you.

Hey, what's going on?

You're going to

need to make an appointment

as soon as possible

for this procedure.

You have to have it removed.

Yeah, I need to

make an appointment.

Hi sweetie, I want you

to count back starting from 5.

No, no, don't.

You want something?

Want some green tea?

Maybe a glass of wine?

I wanna have a party.

It's been a long day.

Yeah, I want to sit

here for just a little bit.

driver's license,

The hairy eyeball

This is pure m.d.m.a.

Well you just got evil

to the core didn't you?

You got evil vibes just oozing

out of you, don't you woman?

Hey, there's something

sinister about you.

Come on Frances, what is it?

Just say one

word that actually

means something, try it.

You're a man of words, try it.

Oh, but you're a lover

and a fighter, aren't you?

You're a beautiful

loser like me.

You're a meliorist.

Do you know what a meliorist is?

It's a compliment.

It's a...

You're a glass half full.

You know.

You're an upstart you know?

You got moxie kid.

Unlike me who's just a...

I'm just a cover act you know.

I'm just a bottom feeder.

Just a...

Just a f***ing phony.

You know, I was

never there for you.

I'm not there for you now.

Never been there for you.

I don't give two

shits about you.

I do, but I don't you know?

It's just the next

piece of tail you know?

You can't sleep here.

Is that okay?

Yeah.

Oh, no, no.

You definitely can't

smoke in the house.

I know that's funny.

But do you wanna go again?

Hmm?

Daddy!

Baby hi, hi, shh

shhhh...

I put sugar in it!

I can't taste it!

Please, calm

down, the doctor said...

I make the

decisions in this house Anna.

Put in more sugar

and add more cream.

I'll get you another cup.

I'm Frankie

and I'm an alcoholic.

Hi Frankie.

Hi.

Yeah I...

The past four weeks have been

the hardest time in my life.

And...

I really had to face myself and

realized I have a long way to go.

I grew up in Seattle

and my mom left.

And my dad's hobby was getting

married in between drinks.

So...

I tried for awhile

to get his attention.

At fifteen I just realized

that it was probably

better if I just drifted away.

And I was partying a lot.

The void requires an infinite

amount of hard liquor.

The whole time I was drifting,

I kept thinking that...

One day I would...

Show up at the grocery

store and buy a milk carton,

and my picture would

be right on there,

or walk by a grocery

store and my picture

will be taped up on there you

know like those missing kids.

I kept thinking that

somebody was maybe

looking for me, but

they weren't, and...

I guess parents don't

have it as figured out

as we think they do,

they're just people,
