After the Fall Page #5
of how much you might say
or what you feel.
But you had risked everything
to sneak out of your house
that night just to see me.
I drove up slow with the
lights off looking for you
until I saw the red
tip of your cigarette.
You got in the car and we drove off,
and I wanted to keep
driving and never stop.
But we did stop near
the edge of the desert,
turned off the headlights again
and watched for the coyotes to come out.
You sat close and said how
close enough to train
tracks to hear the whistle,
how that sound calms you down.
When you talk about
the future like that,
so I can remember
because I want to give you everything.
I know that you worry when
that it hurts me, but it
doesn't matter anymore.
I feel really good these
days, clear and strong,
because I know that
we're going to make it.
Our days of having something
Oh!
Ah... ah... ah!
Mom, is Dad gonna hurt himself?
No. Why would you even
think such a thing?
Because of what Grandpa did.
What did Grandpa do?
Grandpa didn't do anything.
Liar.
Henry! What is wrong with you?
I'm scared for Papa.
Sweetie, don't be scared.
It's okay.
When do we get to go home?
I love you.
Dad!
Dad!
Oh!
Hey, hey, hey!
Oh, I missed you too.
Yeah, he did!
Oh, I missed you guys!
Yeah?
No.
What happened to your face?
I had an accident but I'm okay now.
Don't ever lie to me again.
And then here's the real treat.
This is the living
A lot of space. A lot of light.
right out to the patio.
Mountain view.
Just so you know, this
house is being offered
at 20% below its appraisal
and if you're preapproved,
then maybe you can get an
even better deal than that.
Yeah.
My wife has a little
problem with the bank repo.
She thinks there's bad voodoo
because someone was evicted.
But if I can get a deal, I'll take it.
I mean, the bank didn't force anybody
to buy a house they
couldn't afford, right?
And now these people
want out? Give me a break.
What do you think?
What did Dad do to the pool?
Hey.
Is your mother home?
Okay.
Can you tell me if
Are you a cop?
I'm not supposed to talk to cops.
No, no. I'm not a cop.
I'm a... a real estate agent.
Who's taking care of you?
Susan.
Susan?
Hmm.
What?
What is it?
I need to talk.
There's this man.
He's been arrested.
He got caught robbing a gas station.
But he's also been charged
with things that I did.
I don't know what I should do.
Nothing.
You do nothing.
But...
You don't know this guy.
He's a criminal.
He's going to jail.
This is nothing to do with us.
He's got a son.
So do you.
I thought you said no more lies.
This is our family, Bill.
It's over.
What's going on?
You don't think it's a little
early to be playing Santa Claus?
What?
Don't play stupid. We
both know what's going on.
I'm really glad this is happening.
I really gotta tell you something...
No, you... nothing is happening
if you don't tell me anything,
you don't do anything.
I really need to get this off my chest.
I've got to set things right.
Are you out of your f***ing mind?
What do you want to do? You
want to destroy your family?
Is that what you want?
I hurt people, Frank.
It's f***ed up. You want
to f*** everything up?
You want to never see your
wife again? Never see the boys?
I'll tell you, from
personal experience, Bill...
nothing good comes of that.
Okay?
So you go back to Susan and the boys
and you... you love them.
You take care of them and
you don't talk about this
to anyone ever again.
You're getting another chance,
something nobody ever gets.
You understand?
Ugh!
Okay. Now, don't destroy it.
Ow!
Oh!
Mom.
Yeah, my turn? All right.
We need to be careful now.
This is the stage where
you have to be careful.
Yes.
Oh!
Now we have to rebuild it.
Last year, I broke my
mom's favourite hand mirror
and buried it at the end of the house.
I said I didn't know anything.
I did some other things
that I wasn't allowed to
and I blamed them on my brother.
He did some things
that he blamed me for.
That's between us.
Last year, I cheated on
your test, Mr. Pullman,
and I want to admit it.
And I understand that I'll
probably be punished for it.
You know, my dad taught me that a man...
My dad taught me that a man does...
my dad taught me that a
man takes responsibility
when he does something
wrong, and I want to be a man.
I'm gonna try not to
do any more bad things.
What do you think?
I think it's great.
I love you, dad.
I love you too.
# It's not gonna go down like this #
# I ain't gonna try to sink this ship #
# I'm gonna sail these
rocky white caps #
# I'm going way up high #
# To make it back #
# Oh no, it's not gonna
go down like this #
# Oh no, it's not gonna
go down like this #
# I haven't shared my
final say even though #
# I don't know #
# Which way this is gonna go #
# Hey, I'm not going down #
# I'm not going down #
# I hoard my candy,
# Take a menthol breath,
picking up the base #
# See you soon with a
wild look on your face #
# 'Cause I'll make it to Saturday #
# And everything will be okay #
# 'Cause I'll make it to Saturday #
# And everything will be okay #
# Oh no, it's not gonna go #
# Down like this #
# Oh no, it's not gonna go #
# Down like this #
# One more season and a farewell kiss #
# When the tears started
trickling without even crying #
# Oh Lord, I know you're trying #
# Oh, you can't #
# Oh no, it's not gonna go #
# Down like this #
# Oh no, it's not gonna go #
# Down like this #
# Oh no, it's not gonna go #
# Down like this #
# Like #
# This #
