Calico Skies Page #2

- I can't, I don't know how...

- See you tonight.

So, Luigi's from

Italy, I'm from Belgium.

We met each other at an

airport in Hong Kong.

Now we ended up living here

in the middle of the desert.

Yeah.

You know we used to travel

so much.

We went to Peru, Japan, Greece.

Whenever we got a chance

to leave

we would hit the road.

Then you know the last few years

our sales are getting

lower and lower.

[Charlotte]

And life's cheap here so...

- Mom, can I have some cookies?

- Sure.

I'll grab treats for everybody.

So, Phoenix,

what brings you up here?

Or down, depends on what

direction you're looking at it.

I fly, I mean I used

to fly, fly an engine.

I was a wing suit demo jumper.

You know those guys that

jump from a plane at an event

in an aerodynamic suit

that's sponsored

by some energy drink.

I was one of those guys,

I was pretty good, too.

- Wow, what a job.

- Yeah.

And you've always lived here

in the middle of the desert?

No.

That's something, no.

Are these the same cookies

as the old,

not that stinking crap again?

Danny, language.

They're the same

as everybody else's.

He's gluten intolerant.

Oh.

It sounds like you're

a real free spirit.

I wish I could still travel,

you know,

but you need freedom for that.

You really need to be

freed from so many things.

Luigi that's not fair.

We still have our good times.

This is a quiet life,

but still a good life.

Yeah, but those days

will come back,

I swear to you they will.

He'll grow up, I save

money, and we do it again.

- She needs guts.

- Pardon?

I said that

in order to do that

what you need is guts,

(throat clearing) guts.

Do you still fly sir?

No, not anymore.

I bet that requires

a lot of dedication.

Why is it that you don't fly

anymore?

Because more than

dedication it requires trust,

especially trust in yourself.

Once you lose that you,

you better quit.

You seem to me like a

very brave, blunt man.

That must come out of

self confidence and trust.

No,

if a person has to jump off a

very high cliff into the ocean

and they just close

their eyes and they jump

well that's brave,

but if you're going to evaluate

that from that height,

with that wind speed,

and the weight of your body

you can withstand the

impact of that water.

No, that's trusting yourself

and that's very different.

Mom what does trust mean?

- Do you mind?

- Go ahead.

Danny, what trust

means is that,

although your mom

told you those cookies

were the regular cookies, even

after you took the first bite

and you knew they clearly

weren't, you believed her.

That's what trust means.

Trust sucks.

It's does.

(wind blowing)

(dramatic music)

Are you here for me, because

if you are, I was thinking.

Relax, Phoenie,

if we were here for you,

you wouldn't be standing

in that doorway right now.

[Phoenix] Okay.

You would've been quietly

positioned horizontally

a while ago don't you think?

All right, quit being

a prima donna already.

[Phoenix] Okay sorry.

Get lost, get lost

for my entrance.

Maybe you can get back here,

back here.

'Cause I got fucks to do.

This isn't organic is it?

This is sh*t.

I knew it.

What the f*** are you doing?

(gun shooting)

(mumbling singing)

Getting too old for this sh*t.

Manners. Feet on the coach?

F***in' animal.

- Excuse him.

- What?

[Long Haired Man] So

since you're the pro,

where's all the soft dirt

around here?

I don't want to be here

all night, I'm hungry.

It's, other side of the

driveway, right over there.

[Long Haired Man]

You dig this time.

- Do you ever have food here?

- What?

- Are you okay, you eat?

- I'm okay.

Since we came here to

this god forsaken place

we brought the delivery

for next week.

The bags are in your

usual spot in your shed.

Okay.

- Okay, okay.

- Move.

(dramatic pop music)

In a dream

I see my self conscious

manner of fallacy

No care, no need

Morning Phoenix.

Luigi thought it would be nice

to fix the roof so we came

by, is this a good time?

[Luigi] I have the tools.

- Oh no.

- I'm on it.

- Oh it's not necessary...

- He's on it.

So,

how are you?

Baby,

baby?

Listen to this.

[Luigi] I'm listening.

"So gentle and so virtuous

she appeared my lady

"when greeting other people

"that every tongue

tremblingly grows silent

"and eyes do not dare gaze

upon her.

"She passes by,

hearing herself praised,

"graciously clothed

with humility

"and she appears

to be a creature

"who has come from heaven to

Earth to show forth a miracle.

"She shows herself so

pleasingly to her beholders

"that she gives through the

eyes a sweetness to the heart

"which no one can

understand who does feel it

"and it appears

that from her lips

"moves a tender spirit

full of love

"which says again and

again to the soul, sigh."

(phone ringing)

- Yeah?

- It's me.

- Oh hi Rosa.

- How are you?

I'm good, whatever.

[Rosa]

Sometimes I think I'd rather

you tell me you're not good.

Really, I'm not good

Rosa, I'm dying, I'm dying.

[Rosa] You're so annoying,

I don't know why

I keep calling you.

Why don't you ever call me,

by the way?

I never got nothing

to say okay, that's why.

Nothing ever changes in my life.

So anyway how are the kids?

[Rosa] Well Mark joined

the school football team

so we go to the games

once a week

and a make a family night

out of it, it's nice.

And tomorrow Mary goes

to Kabul with her girls,

she's all grown up.

Well,

(stammering)

tell them that I said hi.

[Rosa] They know you say hi.

You say hi every time.

How about you show your face

for a change?

How about you come to

the party Saturday night?

Peter and I would love it.

The anniversary party?

[Rosa] Yeah and I

already told you should,

you can keep being

involved with the family

and stop pretending that

you're dead to this family.

I'm not coming to your party,

I can't.

[Rosa] You're useless.

Well, wow,

that's a news flash.

[Man On TV] And he's

on his way to first base.

And the Marlin's dugout

right now, yelling at Myers.

- They're not real happy.

- I tell you what.

I tell you what I don't

care if he matters or not...

- And here they go.

- Look at him go.

That's what you have to do.

(knocking on door)

[Man On TV]

The Marlins are coming out.

[Man On TV] You can't

let your big guy go down

and not do anything so

that's what you gotta do.

(knocking on door)

Who is it, who's this?

[Macarena]

It's Macarena for the tattoo,

the new guy

from the yellow side.

I don't know noting

about no new guy guy okay?

I don't know bro, I'm the

new guy, tattoo guy, yellow.

Hang on a second,

hang on a second okay?

[Macarena] Okay.

[Woman] Hi.

It's Phoenix from the desert.

[Woman] Wait.

(phone ringing)

- Hey it's me.

- What?

Okay, South American,

I don't know,

maybe Mexican I guess,

young, at my f***ing door.

[Man] Sounds like the new

guy I put in touch with you.

What the, what the,

I was just a little scared.

But why didn't you guys
