Broken Horses Page #5

What's the grin for, Bud?

I saved the fish.

It swam away.

Jacob's gone.

My pop said

that I'll look after my brother.

Never let anyone hurt him.

Put your hands above your head.

I have to go back for my brother.

We'll find Jake

before the night is over.

And I'll lay him to rest

right next to you.

You'll be together forever.

Just like my wife and son.

Every Sunday I'll put flowers on you.

Red flowers, white flowers.

It'll be perfect.

But right now,

I've got to put you to sleep myself.

Because I love you the most.

You understand me, son?

Yeah, I understand.

I am not your son.

You are not my pop.

You are a bad man.

Now, let me tell you a story about Vee.

I really like Vee.

I liked her the very second

she spelled her name for me.

I decided right there and then

that I'm gonna

be the best man in her wedding.

And when she and Jakey kiss each other,

I'll clap the loudest.

And as she gets down the altar,

I'll throw flowers on her.

And when she and my brother Jakey

leave the church as a married couple,

I'll go bananas.

Bananas.

And that's all I have to say.
