Any Day Page #4

Just the way you like it.

Oh, you're so lucky

I'm starving.

Go change. A-ha. A-ha.

Vian?

Hi.

Hi.

Hey. Still serving?

Sure. Take a seat.

All right.

What's good here, sport?

Everything.

See that?

I gotta go.

What's up?

The girl I went out with

just came in

with another guy.

I've got to leave.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. Maybe

they're just friends.

Is it okay If I leave?

Just play it cool.

I gotta leave.

Okay. All right,

I get it. Okay.

Uh, go out the back.

Go straight.

Excuse me. Sorry.

No problem.

Uh, is Vian here?

No, he just had an emergency,

important appointment

he had to go to.

Can I help you?

Uh, no. No, thanks. Sorry.

Okay.

Hey.

Hi.

Jolene called three times.

Oh?

Everything okay?

So, that is what happened.

I hope you understand.

Yeah.

You know, we only

dated for six months,

but he just can't

seem to let go.

Sure, I get it.

So, is that the place

you're a chef at?

Yeah. Yeah, that's the place.

I don't know, It's a little...

I know It's not all

that fancy, you know.

I like it.

Nah.

Oh, my God. I can't believe it!

What?

I've never had a man

make me breakfast before.

Huh? Well, good.

And I'm very happy

you stopped by last night.

Yeah. Me, too.

Oh, shoot. I'm late.

Listen, uh...

you go back to bed,

and I'll bring you breakfast.

No, don't be silly.

If you're late, take off.

Okay.

I'll see you later. Enjoy.

Thank you.

45 minutes late for work. 45!

I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm handing you the key.

Right. Yeah! Well, you won't

be using the car again.

Sorry.

Yeah.

Heard that before, Vian.

Sounds like you've got

yourself a real girlfriend.

Is that your first

poon since prison?

You've been banging

strippers for too long.

Come on, Mr. sensitive.

I really like her.

I don't want to talk

about her like some

dumb piece of ass.

Yeah. You're right. I'm sorry.

Yeah. Let me ask you

something, bro.

You ever think about

making this place

a little nicer,

maybe fixing it up?

You know, raising the prices?

Get a little

delivery service going?

Wow. Listen to the jailbird

sounding like a real

entrepreneur.

Get a little taste

of the good life,

and suddenly the world's

all shiny and bright.

Screw you.

Buddy, I love the way

you're thinking,

but you're like me.

You know you've got

to think big to be big, right?

Yeah. Sure.

Just keep doing it, man.

Give me some more ideas.

I'm going to write it down.

Okay.

Hey! Who does a guy

have to know

to get some service around here?

Don't talk like that in here.

Sorry, new guy. Shall I

have a word with my father

and get the department of health

down here for a little visit?

Hey, let's try this again.

What would you like

this afternoon, huh?

Um, two chicken parm sandwiches.

Right. Why don't you

take a seat?

I'll bring it right over.

That was good.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Hey, little Jimmy.

Got any new books for us?

Leave me alone, Lee.

Oh, that's on way

to talk to a friend.

I need to borrow some money.

Do you hear what I say, b*tch?

I can't help you.

Let's take a look

at the little backpack,

should we?

Ow!

What are you looking at?

I'll kick your ass, too!

That is so cool.

Uh-huh. Yeah,

that would be nice.

Just have some dinner

and just hang out.

Yeah. Makes me feel real good

that your sister

invited me, you know?

Yeah.

Hey, I wonder

If I could bring cherry.

You're not still seeing her.

No, but this might be a way for us

to get back together, you know?

Is this a joke?

I know. I'm very lonely.

Well...

Hey... What would you think

about becoming business

partners with me?

What do you mean?

Well, the old guy

that owns this place,

he loves me, but he's

going to be selling soon.

He said If I came up

with 30 grand

for the down payment,

he will carry the note.

I've already saved 15 grand,

so all you've got to do

is come up with 15 grand,

we're business partners.

What's so funny?

Hey, I don't even have

a car. Where the freak

am I going to get 15 large, huh?

I don't know... Jeez.

Family or friends?

I don't know.

Yeah.

The problem is,

whoever buys this place

is probably going to fire us.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Shoot. Maybe I should

go and stick up a bank.

Sounds like something

I would've done

back in the day.

No kidding.

Yeah. I got pretty badass

before I quit drinking.

Wow.

Yeah, It's crazy.

Little methamphetamine.

Yeah. My sister was a dealer,

so I got it for free.

Hey! You two lovebirds

open for business?

Yeah. What would you like?

I'd like a large

with extra pepperoni

and extra cheese.

Sure.

That's 16.67.

All right.

I forgot my wallet.

Can I get you tomorrow?

Come on, Lee.

You know we don't

do that for anybody.

Oh, no. I, I'll

take his word for it.

But If he stiffs us...

he's not going to stiff us.

Okay.

Thank you.

Sure. You're welcome.

Yes!

What about me? Can I play?

All right. Uh, okay.

You're the first.

You're the second.

You're gonna get me in trouble.

Mom, can I have some more cake?

Oh, honey, no, no, no. Sugar's

going to keep you up all night.

Bethley, thank you

so much for dinner.

I can't even touch dessert.

I know. I haven't been invited

to a home-cooked dinner

in a long time.

No? Then you're gonna

just have to come over

more often for dinner, roland.

Hey, you mind If

I change the music?

Sure, go ahead.

All right.

Oh, your sister's great!

Yeah.

How long have you

lived with her?

Oh, not long.

I live in the garage.

Oh, you converted the garage?

Huh. Sort of.

Come on, I'll show you.

Wow!

Yeah. Take a seat.

You, uh, you're

quite the dancer.

Ah, yeah. I used to

dance a lot.

Not so much anymore, you know.

You know, I'm going

to have to get going.

What?

Well, the party's just started.

I know. I know.

I've got to get up early.

It's Saturday night!

I have a cardio class

at 8:
00 A.M.

Well, skip it.

Skip it once. You'll be fine.

I wish I could.

But We'll talk tomorrow, yeah?

Sure.

All right.

Okay.

Good night.

Uh, good night.

Good morning.

Morning, Jimmy.

Me and mom are going to church.

Do you want to come with us?

Ain't nothing for me there.

If mom will let me,

will you take me

to the lake later?

Sure, I will.

How's the lake?

Is it still the same?

Yeah, pretty much.

Grandpa Sherm used to

take me here all the time.

He said it was magic.

He put something special

under the rock here.

It sure is good

to have a friend.

Don't you have

any friends at school?

No. I don't have that

many friends at school.

That's why I'm so

glad you showed up.

It sure is good to have

a friend in life.

Yeah. I'm glad we're friends.

Did you ever think

there's something

bigger than

the whole wide world?

I don't know.

Like the universe?

Like, It's so big and amazing,

but no one can see it,

and just everywhere.

Come on.

Go for a pass.

How did you find this out?

I have people.

He was in prison?

Killed a guy.

What?

Second-degree murder.

Beat a guy to death.

Spent 12 years in prison.

Just looking out for you, Jo.
