Any Day Page #5

This is an ex-con murderer.

He should at least

have the decency

to be honest with you.

I want you to go.

You don't want

to talk about this?

Just go.

Baby, listen...

don't touch me. Just go.

Hey, I think I've got

some bad news.

What?

I think the old man found

a buyer for this place.

Yeah?

Yeah. Were you able to

come up with any money?

Hey, I told you, I don't

have that kind of money.

Well, he's going to sell it.

What are we going to do?

Maybe get a job at one of those

fast food places

out by the mall.

You think They'll hire me?

Probably.

Hey, what's the deal

with your sister?

What do you mean?

I mean, she seems really cool.

Hey, you keep away from her.

What the f is so funny?

I assume we're adults here.

She's not for you.

A little judgmental,

coming from you.

Hey, you go out

with bimbo strippers.

She's a good woman, okay?

She has a son.

Her husband ran off

with some skankpot.

Won't even pay child support.

And you put me in that category?

No.

We're not going to talk

about this anymore, okay?

I only brought it up

out of respect for you.

Good. So now you know.

Yeah, I do.

Keep the f away from her.

Or what, you're

gonna kick my ass?

You don't want to know.

Is that a threat, Vian? Are

you threatening me right now?

Back off, roland.

You know what?

Maybe I misjudged you.

Maybe we don't work together.

Yeah? What?

You're gonna fire me?

Just because I don't want you

to go off with my sister?

You used to be the boss

in prison, I'm sure,

but you're not

the freaking boss here!

I am!

Hey, forget you, roland.

I don't need this sham.

That's good,

because you're fired!

Yeah? Screw you!

Screw you!

Screw you!

Yeah, I'm just down the street.

Yeah.

I could come over and say hi.

Yeah? That's cool.

Sure. I'll be there

in ten minutes.

Yeah. Bye.

What's going on?

Nothing. I'm just

getting ready for work.

What's wrong?

I, um... I don't think

this is working.

We just started

seeing each other.

It's not you.

What is it, then?

I just can't do this anymore.

I'm messed up, and I shouldn't

be seeing anyone right now.

But what did I do?

Nothing. Nothing. I'm just...

I'm in a bad place,

and I never should've

gone out with you

in the first place,

and I'm really sorry.

There's something going on,

and you don't want

to tell me what it is.

So, I'll see you later.

Can I help you?

Yeah.

What do you need?

I, uh...

Ah, nothing.

You're an abacus?

I do! I have a stone

in the neck. Oh, my gosh.

Hey, vi. Hey!

What are you doing?

Having a cup of coffee.

Get out of here.

No, come on.

You know what?

I tried to talk to you,

be straight about

liking your sister...

get the hell out of her!

Hey! Hey! Vian, that's enough.

What's wrong with you?

Maybe you need to go, okay?

You get out of here, all right?

This is my house, okay?

You don't even pay rent here.

Yeah, all right? You don't

know what It's like.

You don't know

what my life is like,

what I've been through,

what It's like

to raise a kid on

my own with no help!

Shut up.

Where were you, huh?

So you don't get to say

anything about how I do

things. Do you get it?

You lost that right

a long time ago!

Yeah! Oh, yeah, that's great.

Just leave!

Don't even deal with it

'cause It's worked out

so well for you your whole life!

Uncle vi, I brought you

a cup of coffee.

Hey, Jimmy.

Thanks.

Mm. It's not bad.

Did you make it?

Yeah.

You ever read

the book I gave you?

About the old man?

Yeah, "the old man

and the sea."

No, I haven't started it yet.

I think You'll like it,

especially the end.

Yeah.

What's wrong?

Oh, I just want to be someone,

make something of my life.

Thought I could be

a fighter, but,

I don't know. Just...

It pretty much seems

I've amounted to nothing.

Just some...

Broken down guy

living in a garage.

But Uncle vi, you're

the best friend I ever had.

Yeah, but you're just a kid.

What the hell do you know?

Hey, go get us

a table, would ya?

What do you want?

I want a large extra cheese

with sausage and mushroom.

Hey, where's Vian?

He doesn't work here anymore.

Why?

He moved on.

He's the best guy you ever had!

Well, he doesn't work

here anymore, all right?

Sit down.

What, uh... what

do the tests say?

There's slight

hemorrhaging on the brain.

Oh, no.

This is not unusual

in brain trauma.

Um, when will he

come out of the coma?

Well, that I can't

tell you exactly.

Days? Are we talking weeks?

Only time can tell.

Our father who art in heaven

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day...

Oh, Jimmy.

Jimmy, I love you so much.

What time is it?

I don't know.

Sometime in the morning.

Oh. I've got to call work

and tell them what happened.

I'll be right back.

Sure.

This is a hospital?

Hey, Jimmy.

I was dreaming and

in the special place.

Everything is perfect.

The lake... And the rock!

The rock is right there

for you and my mom!

Sure.

I sure could go

for something to eat.

Do you want to eat with me?

Sure.

Anything you want.

People can be so silly,

all trapped up in their minds,

and fishes just keep

swimming, and grasshoppers

are talking nice, very nice.

Hey!

Sweetheart!

I kept trying to tell you

I was okay, mom.

You did. Yes, you did.

But I have to go home now.

Yes! Of course,

I'm going to take...

I'm going to take you home.

Baby, I love you.

I love you so much.

I love you, too, mom.

Love is really good.

Oh...

Baby? Jimmy?

Jimmy? No, no, no, no.

Jimmy? Jimmy, come back.

Come on, honey.

Come on, sweetheart.

Come back. Vian...

go get somebody.

Get the doctor.

We need a doctor, please!

Hey. Come on, baby. Come on.

Come on, sweetheart,

wake back up.

I, I don't understand.

A surge. It's not common, but it

does happen with people in a coma.

A sudden surge of energy,

a brief moment of consciousness,

and then they lapse back

into their coma state.

But why, and why

for just a minute...

It's not fully understood.

It doesn't make any sense.

You okay?

No.

I'm not okay.

I'm gonna go inside and...

Take a shower and then go back.

I'll go with you.

Dear God, I want to say a prayer

that you watch over Jimmy

and the rest of my family.

I know that, whatever happens,

It's your will,

and I have to trust that.

And although I feel alone,

I know that you're there, God.

I don't...

I just don't know

If I'll be able to make it.

I don't know anymore.

I don't know how.

Hello?

Yes.

Yeah.

Vian? Vian!

He's gone!

He's gone.

Ah.

Oh, man. That's good.

Hi!

Sis!

Ooh.

We had a deal you could

stay here If you didn't drink.

That's okay.

You need to go, Vian.

Where am I gonna go?

Huh?

I need you to leave.

It's no big deal.

It's no big deal at all.

Come on.

Don't. Don't come near me!

Why are you so uptight? Hey!

My freaking sis...

my sister, huh?

Ah, where am I gonna go, huh?

I gotta find something.

Do you have anything to drink?
