Day Zero Page #2

Yeah?

Hey, let me take you where you're going.

That's alright.

I'm okay. Thank you.

No, I got a special deal today

for girls with backpacks.

It's half offanywhere you

wanna go.

Really? Thank you,

I'm okay, though.

We got a small problem, you know.

I ain't gonna move till you get in

the car.

Come on,

what do you say?

Move!

You kidding!

Buddy, move it!

Now you're talking.

Alright, but

only because of that deal.

I promise you you

got the deal.

And you know you're gonna ride

in style, comfort and grace.

In the front?

Ever been

in the front seat?

Can't say that I have.

Where you headed?

My parole hearing.

Parole hearing, huh?

You're funny.

About halfway down the street,

by the school.

Oh, you like kids.

So, thanks for the ride.

Yeah.

Alright.

Alright.

Hey, good luck

with those kids.

Thanks.

They're easy.

Yeah?

Okay.

Thanks for picking me up.

You're welcome.

You have

a good one.

Take care.

Bye.

Bye.

I'll tell you what.

"Insert C7 into D7

and assembly is complete."

Hey.

Hey.

I love you.

I know.

I'm not going.

What the f*** you

talkin' about?

Seriously.

How?

I just made partner.

It's not a good time.

I'm just a cab

driver, so--.

It's not about you.

Bullshit it's not about me.

You guys go if you want. Okay?

That's your decision.

How do you not go?

You live in that

big apartment,

you enjoy all this but when it comes

time to fight--

I earned all this.

When it comes

time to be a man,

you feel you shouldn't have

to go.

I'd be the first one out there if

we were defending ourselves.

Exactly what we're doing.

We're invading other countries!

Don't you get that?

Don't you all get it?

What?

Look, I don't want to die, man.

Not for this.

You think we'll die?

Maybe you'll die. So what?

The draft is for a reason.

Nobody wants to go.

They'd be there already. That's

the whole point.

Thinking for

yourself, for once.

That what

you did?

What the f*** is that supposed

to mean?

Molly asked

you not to go?

Don't go there.

You really think we'll die

over there?

You're goin'.

Guys.

Hey.

It's okay.

Hey, look at me.

Stop it, please.

It's okay.

Molly.

Congratulations.

Five years.

The survival rate for this type

of cancer

goes up to over 98%

from this point on.

I'm sure

you're relieved.

Thank you.

Take care, dear.

You too.

Excuse me,

didn't you write a book?

Uh, yeah.

I thought so.

Hey.

What? No wine, flowers, anything

for the host?

A book.

Now I thought maybe you could

learn something.

F*** you.

Yeah.

Hi.

How are you?

I'm good.

Thank you for coming.

Aaron's already here.

Just grab a snack.

I'll grab you a drink.

So, anyway we thought--

Do you really think you can

expect peace from people

who don't know the meaning

of the word?

That's the point.

We have to teach them.

All they see is our tanks

and our bombs.

Let's talk about the war

on terror.

Yeah, let's.

Come on,

let's look at the war

on terror with these folks.

The entire so-called

preemption doctrine,

come on,

that's a complete failure.

Planting the seeds of democracy,

that's a failure to you?

If I got drafted, I just wouldn't go.

Really?

Killing is wrong, no

matter who does it.

So is it wrong 1400 people died

in LA last year?

How about the 3,000 that

died in 9/11?

I say it is,

but that--

You were in

a f***ing pedicure.

How can you really

be expected--

Calm down.

Slow down.

Dixon!

I'm sorry, but you think fighting

is wrong 'cause

you never had to fight

for anything in your life.

What do you do?

You suck his dick once a month?

We're leaving.

No, no.

Good, get the f*** out.

Stay.

Dixon, get out.

Now.

I'll get out.

She says

"Fighting's wrong

so we shouldn't go."

Yeah, maybe that's

her point of view.

They live in a f***ing

ivory tower!

Hey! Now that's enough!

I said get out!

I'm okay.

It's okay.

Get out of my house.

Get out of my house!

Get out of my house!!

Will you just stop for a second.

What?

We were best friends

at Stuyvesant.

Yeah, you were best friends.

And I know he was kicked

out for fighting.

There's something you don't know.

I'm listening.

Well, in junior year I was having

a problem with this group of kids

bullying me.

One day, they took

my money--

and after school,

Dixon followed them.

Into an alley.

And he beat the sh*t out of them.

He put two in the hospital.

It was ugly.

And he was sent to a juvenile center

for two years.

Molly, he did that for me.

He was defending me.

Hey, uh, Patricia,

it's, uh, it's me,

Dixon, from the cab.

Oh, hi.

I was wondering if you had

any plans for dinner tomorrow night.

Maybe, what did you have in mind?

I know a kind of

a secret spot in Brooklyn.

Are you game?

You not gonna chop me up and

put me in a freezer?

No, no.

Watch your step.

Did you find this place in the guide

to New York fine dining?

That's the one.

It's one of my favorites.

Watch your head.

Wow.

It's beautiful.

So what do you do with a

Master's in Sociology anyway?

Teach. Work with kids.

Or research.

That's really great.

I like it.

You have any brothers

and sisters?

Two brothers.

Folks?

They live in Minnesota.

He still pinches her butt.

And you?

My mom died when I was 17.

I don't even know

where my dad is.

I'm sorry--

Don't be.

No.

You don't have

to be sorry for me.

What are

you doing?

I'm gonna

kiss you.

The blasts were caused by a volley

of mortar rounds and one car bomb,

all detonating

within minutes of each other,

in Baghdad.

The mortars destroyed a bank and

collapsed one apartment building.

Iraqi emergency forces found some

survivors in the blast,

working for hours to find anyone still

alive in the rubble,

and to remove the bodies.

The car bomb destroyed a nearby gas station,

spraying burning gasoline onto nearby

houses, restaurants and stores.

Kurrawa is a religiously

mixed neighborhood.

relatively safe

by Baghdad standards

and a home to a

number of leaders

in Iraq's largest

Shiite political party.

Dr. Elle's office.

Can I help you?

Yeah, it's Aaron.

You should try

to wrap--up your affairs,

before you go.

I know that's important to you.

I don't know what to do next.

That's my problem now.

I don't know where to start.

I think it's important

for you to keep

doing these things

you feel you need to do.

Being mentally prepared

will help you get through this, Aaron.

What is a six-letter word for a

Latin dance?

Mentally prepared?

Perhaps you should make a list

of all the important

things you need to accomplish.

And then just do them.

A top ten.

That's it.

A top ten.

Salsa.

No, it's five.

Cha-cha.

Didn't know you were coming.

That makes two of us.

I made a list of all the things

I need to do in the next

two weeks.

My top ten.

Before we go.

What are you talking about?

"Do ten shots

of whiskey? "

What are you,

in junior high?

I have "f***

a prostitute" on

this, number five.

What's wrong with you?
