About Sunny Page #2

---

Just come by.

So, how are we today, good?

Yeah.

That is quite a little blouse

you got there.

Oh, don't forget

about our little talk.

Hey, you mind if I ask...

Wha... You work

for a separate company, right?

What do they pay?

Is that part-time only?

After 11:
00 or mornings.

So, like, who would I talk to

if I wanted to, you know...

I used to...

Hey.

Mrs. Harwood?

Oh. Jerome.

- Angela is fine.

- Sorry.

Harwood's her dad's name.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Next time if you, um...

You can't leave her here this long.

Yeah, no, sometimes,

she goes home with friends.

But, uh, you know, today I had the car,

so I-I... I told her to wait.

Do you have a minute?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, have you ever tested Sunny

for reading difficulties?

No.

No. I know.

I will. You know?

If you think that I should.

You know, we're not...

we're not always right.

And she's young,

and dyslexia is tricky.

But we just

recommend testing.

Okay.

That's something

the school does, right?

I often recommend

private consultation.

It's...

Well, it's better.

It's faster.

And, uh, you must know someone

who could help.

Why would I know someone?

Being a nurse.

All right, listen.

You know what?

I'll, uh... If you have a test or whatever,

I'll let her take it,

but I don't know anybody.

'Cause I'm not

a f***in' nurse.

Sun, come on.

Well, I gotta get back to the mall and pick

up some sh*t for my big new nursing job.

I'll probably get some pretty nice pills

if I was a nurse.

I was thinking we'd go get

your picture taken.

You wanna do that?

That way we'll always see what you looked

like right before you turned eight.

Thank you.

Sorry about the mess.

So... this is Sunny, huh?

Hey there, cutie.

Just let me move this.

Okay.

You wanna have

a seat up here?

Up.

All right.

Ah, oh.

Ohh!

There we go.

Okay.

Like it?

Yeah.

Looks great.

- You wanna get in there?

- Oh, no, it's okay.

It's not like I'm gonna

charge you, Angela.

Ah.

All right.

Do one, me and you?

Think of something

that makes you both happy.

- You want one of just you?

- Oh, God, no. No.

Sunny, there's some,

uh, toys out there.

Do you wanna play outside

while we finish up?

You know, it's nice,

what you got... you two.

Yeah.

My sister tried

to adopt a girl.

Turned out it wasn't even

the agency's to give.

Louise paid $20,000 for her.

Jesus.

They still never

seen the kid.

It was all in China, so it was a

real mess. Finally just gave up.

I'm sorry.

So you like it here better?

- You like taking pictures?

- Oh.

It is a dream come true.

Hey, Sunny's got

a birthday party tomorrow.

You... You should come by.

Of course, I still gotta

get stuff for it.

I could bring some coleslaw

or something.

Yeah.

Hey, Sun, you ready to go?

Come on.

Hey, you know,

my sister is visiting.

Uh, she's gonna come by

if you wanna meet her.

Oh, yeah, we should go.

It's late for her.

Uh, could I keep one

of the wallets?

I mean, I won't take one of

your copies. I'll make a copy.

No, I...

I don't need them all.

You ready to go?

Wanna say good-bye to Max?

Good-bye, Max.

Okay.

Thank you.

Listen. I gotta run a quick errand.

You wait here for me for a sec?

- Can I have some gum?

- Honey, I don't have any gum.

Can I go buy some gum?

All right.

Here. But just gum, all right?

We meet back on this bench.

I don't wanna have to go looking

for you. So two minutes, okay?

Okay.

- Can I help you?

- Uh, yeah.

What's, like, the cheapest I could

get in on a cell phone?

The pay-as-you-go phone

would be the least expensive.

This one.

Great.

- Um, do I get my own number

with this? - Of course.

The phone plus the first

Thank you.

Hey.

Come on.

All right, go get in.

I gotta make a call.

You got a cell phone?

Can I get one?

You can see it in a minute.

Just go... go get in.

I know. Listen.

If you get me two grand,

I won't come after

any of it anymore, okay?

I told you already.

I'm gonna invest it.

Well, I don't got an account,

so you gotta wire it.

No, I'll pick it up.

Well, you can call her then.

All right?

But don't call this number though.

Call... Call us at home.

Are we headed

to the car wash?

Yeah.

- It's got games on it!

- Yeah, just...

Don't...

I just got the thing.

You can play with it later,

all right?

It wouldn't have games on it if

you weren't supposed to play 'em.

Just don't break it, all right?

Mm-hmm.

- All right, who has

the ticket? - Me!

All right, what's the number?

Four, seven, two...

Two... one, six...

one, six... 0.

Enter.

Roll the window up.

Roll the window down.

Oh, here we go!

Here we go!

Spaghetti!

Look!

Here we go.

Here come your pinecones.

Here we go.

Whee!

Pinecones!

Here they come. Mixing bowl!

We're in the mixing bowl!

Rinse. Whoa!

- All right, we're gonna get...

- Mom! Mom!

What? What?

Oh, we're leaking!

We're leaking!

- Do it! Do it! Do it!

- I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna do it.

Oh, no, no, no!

Don't shut it off!

Don't shut it off.

It's wet.

No.

Crap.

Come on.

Damn it.

It's fine. It's fine.

It's not gonna start.

It's not gonna start.

I'll just come back

and get it.

- At least it's clean, right?

- I guess.

Sunny, go on up ahead.

I gotta make another call.

Uh, yeah. No, I have done

a little, um...

House Helpers.

Tonight?

Um, I mean, doesn't somebody gotta,

like, show me around or something first?

Uh... Yeah, no...

No, I can meet her.

No, I actually know

that building. Um...

Yeah, no, I know it.

It's where...

I know it.

Okay. Thanks.

Who was that?

Nobody.

Let's take the bus.

- Sunny.

- It'll be quick.

You wanna take the bus

the rest of the way?

One way.

Hey, Cheryl.

Does your kid still

do any babysitting?

I'll go check.

You need a sitter?

Oh, I was looking

for your sister.

She moved out.

Oh, okay. I didn't know that.

I'll watch your kid. I've watched

my cousins. So, you know...

- I think I gotta find a girl.

- Really, I can do it.

Just if Sunny wanted

to get at you, and she said...

You know, I don't know.

Just... You're a boy.

I don't think it's

gonna work out. I'm sorry.

Get under the covers?

Good.

All right.

Good night, sweetheart.

Hi. I need a cab at the corner

of Trop and Eastern.

Listen, can you stop by the

check-cashing place up on Trop...

and just give me a minute?

It's 24 hours.

I'll be right out.

Hi. I'm-I'm picking up

a wire. Jerome.

You would like that

in money order?

No, cash. Thanks.

Wait. That's supposed

to be 2,000, right?

The service fee was $153.

He didn't pay that

when he sent it?

Do you do, uh...

You do payday loans?

- Do you have an account?

- No.

- Credit card?

- Yeah.

Just give me your card number

and you can apply.

For how much?

Um...

I could get 200?

It's 25 per hundred.

- Okay.

- Wait one moment.

Thank you for waiting.

I appreciate it.

Oh, God.

My girl.

I had a bad dream.

It's okay, sweetie.

Just go back to bed, okay?

Just think of some

nice things, okay?
