Crazy Kind of Love Page #4

into that brainy stuff.

When I said Ph. D.,

she got twitchy.

I may not even finish my thesis.

What's the holdup?

If I finish, I have to graduate

and get a job.

- Isn't that the point?

- In theory.

There's not a lot of people out

there with a brain quite like yours...

so I'm thinking that God

or Buddha or whatever...

they wouldn't have

given it to you...

unless they knew you were going

to do something kick-ass with it.

They say practice makes perfect.

You're funny, Matthew.

Did you sleep with him?

I'm not going to lie to you.

What are you doing?

I guess I'm leaving.

- You're leaving?

- I'm really sorry.

I didn't mean

to screw anything up.

No, you didn't.

You didn't screw anything up.

You motherf***er!

F***ing a**hole!

That's enough! Stop it!

That's enough! Henry!

Stop it, Henry! Get off!

Oh, my God. Are you all right?

Can you stand?

Henry!

Oh, God, you're bleeding!

Go check on Henry.

- Henry's gone. Can you find him?

- Yeah.

It's going to be okay.

Henry?

Rough day?

Yeah.

You want another one?

I want a lot of things.

I'm glad you finally

came to your senses.

Henry.

Your mom's worried about you.

Let's get you home.

What do you know about my mom?

- You've had enough to drink...

- Get the f*** off me.

You need to get

your sh*t together!

Stay away from my mother.

- Take care of him.

- Yeah.

Henry?

Henry. Hey.

Are you all right?

Not really. My girlfriend...

She f***ed my brother.

Slide over.

Honestly, I didn't know my brother

had a dick until last night.

I just want to get out of here.

I'm sick of this town.

That might not be a bad idea.

You got a place to go?

I met this girl that lives

out in Cornwall.

Janeen.

She said that I could stay

with her for a while.

What should I do?

You want to know if I think

you should stay or go?

Yeah.

Henry.

I think it's time that you lived

your life.

Yeah.

If only I knew what that meant.

You will.

- Hey, babe.

- Hey.

How are you?

Come on.

You think we'll be

like them one day?

What? Old?

You know what I mean.

I like to think that...

we could be them someday.

Old.

Holding hands together.

Henry.

What's the matter?

Do you like frozen waffles?

Waffles?

Yeah.

Do you like them?

Yeah. They're okay, I guess.

Why?

Henry.

- I'll tell Mom.

- No, no.

Don't tell her I'm here.

I came to talk to you.

Okay.

It's cold out.

Where have you been staying?

I've been living in Cornwall,

with this girl, Janeen.

Because I couldn't live here.

I wish I could change

everything.

I never meant to hurt you.

I don't even know

how it happened.

Everything my brain said didn't make

any difference to the rest of my body.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry I broke your nose.

I kind of liked it, actually.

It made me look badass.

Nice coat, badass.

It's not mine.

Did she ever come back?

Come inside.

Hey.

Why didn't you sleep

in your bed?

It didn't feel

like mine anymore.

I hate to think of you

so lost, Henry.

I didn't know what to do.

When Bette left?

No, when you left.

I knew that

he was seeing Marion.

I know.

How?

Because of that look

on your face...

when you told me you were going

to that poker tournament.

And I hated him

for making you lie.

He promised that he would stay

if I kept quiet.

I should have told you.

No.

You should have had

less selfish parents.

If I had made him leave sooner,

you wouldn't have had to lie.

You made him leave?

Kicking him out might have been the

only decent thing I ever did as a mother.

That's not true.

Trust me,

I could have done better.

Tell me what I can do

to make it up to you?

Tell me what I should do

for the rest of my life.

Can I get back to you

on that one?

Oh, sweetie.

What took you so long?

- Hey, Henry.

- Hey.

You're selling it?

Yeah. I hate to, but...

I haven't driven it in years,

and it's time to clean house.

I remember when you and your

brother were little...

you'd sit in the driveway behind

the wheel and pretend driving.

How much?

Is this the car

that you peed in?

Yeah.

Nice wheels!

Yeah.

Before you guys get all weird,

just do the math.

Five months.

Looks like you're the lucky

winner, Henry.

All those health class lectures about how

pot makes you sterile were a load of crap.

Yay!

What are you doing?

A little bit of a warning,

that would have been nice.

Here's a warning.

Use a condom.

I'm just going to mess

that kid up.

You know that.

Here's what I think.

You're going to make

a wonderful father.

Why? Because I had

such a great example?

You asked me what you should do

with the rest of your life...

and the answer is waiting

for you downstairs.

You got to tell me

if you want me here.

I mean, just take out

the baby part.

Are you at all happy to see me?

- I am.

- Really?

I wanted you back

ever since you left.

I mean, underneath all the being

pissed off and everything.

I missed you. A lot.

And I want you back.

I just...

Didn't expect me to show up

with your baby in me?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Whoops.

I wish it didn't make me

want to sh*t myself.

You know what I figure?

We've got a pretty good blueprint

of what not to do to a kid.

I think that's going to work

to the baby's advantage.

Just... promise me we're not

going to mess this kid up.

I promise.

Okay, so now what?

We're going to have a baby.

I got that one.

Yeah?

I'll give you some space.

- I just need a minute.

- No problem.

Hi.

Hi.

Who is it?

It's your father.

Henry.

Hey.

How are you?

I'm good.

You look good.

Where's your mother?

Augusta.

What are you doing here?

Marion left me.

You're going to be okay.

What's that?

Oh, my God!

- What should I do?

- Was that supposed to happen?

Oh, my God. It's time

to go to the hospital.

I'm going to get the car.

- Thank you!

- All right!

Matthew, go get the suitcase.

Henry, stay and help.

- Am I going to be able to do this?

- Yeah, you can do it.

- I'm so scared!

- Don't be scared.

- Is this normal?

- Yes, it's totally normal.

Women have babies every day.

We're going to be fine.

Let me go first.

We're having a baby!

- It's happening!

- Buckle up.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!
