Digging for Fire Page #4

- What's that?

- What?

I just found uh, some stuff earlier.

I found like a bone and...

Yeah.

You're amazing. Look at you.

What are you, Fred Astaire?

You're gonna tap dance for

me, you f***ing poopie?

You gonna f***ing... Get in the pool and

f***ing do a tap dance, motherf***er.

It's not... This isn't my house, so

I'm not moving it all out I'm just...

- This isn't?

- No.

My wife and I are staying

here for a few weeks.

- Sweet.

- Yeah.

- That's a good deal.

- It's a great deal.

Yeah.

I wanna help you find the body.

Well, there's a shovel

right there.

Great, that's all

I needed to hear.

Chica! Chica! Chica!

Yeah, where is that chica?

I don't know.

Get that chica over here.

- Hey, hey, hey. Hey!

- Hey.

- Yeah, that's nice.

- You're bringing it, huh?

I could do this.

I got it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where are you going?

- Oh, it's colder than I thought!

- Hey, man!

Don't try and have sex with me.

Oh, I didn't know

it was time to show off.

Oh, that wasn't funny.

Where's chica?

Hey, give me that...

Hey.

I gotta show this to Ray.

He's gonna lose his sh*t.

- What did you find?

- Ray, I found a shoe, buddy!

- A what?

- -Ray! Ray!

Ray! Ray.

Ray, I found a shoe.

Hey, man, that's awesome.

Dude, I found a shoe.

It was right by the gun, so...

- That's great. Let me check it out, man.

- Yeah, man.

- It's unbelievable.

- That's awesome, bro.

Yeah, that was prob...

Oh, no, no, no! No.

Oh, man, Ray.

- What do you got there?

You got a joint? -Yeah.

You threw the shoe

in the pool, man.

Oh, man.

- How's it doing?

- Yeah, it's good.

- Smoting... Smoking up marijuana...

- Smoting?

I think if there's any clue that says that

there's somebody out there, Ray, it's this.

Smoke the dutchie often,

if you know what I mean.

Who would just throw this...

It's f***ing nuts.

I can't even understand

what you're saying anymore.

All right,

I'm gonna hit the sack.

All right, guys.

All right,

good night, everybody.

It's like you got Jekyll

and then you got Hyde.

And then you got Jekyll,

and then you get Hyde.

Stay as long as you want.

Enjoy the night.

- You know what I mean? You punk rock?

- I don't wanna look at it.

Oh, sh*t.

- I'm gonna f***ing...

- I will whip this at you!

- Okay, okay, okay.

- This is a crossroads.

- -Mm-hmm.

- This is a very important...

- It's not a crossroads.

The kid's three years old.

- But, darling...

- -It's not the crossroads of his life.

- Right.

- -Yes.

You think the best education he could

possibly get is in a public school?

No, actually, I don't. But sometimes

I think it's a compromise.

What? No. It doesn't

have to be a compromise.

- It is. Marriage is a compromise.

- Why?

- Well, life's a compromise.

- Yes, but...

- Life's a compromise. -Can we

stop talking in platitudes?

- Life's a compromise.

- Please? Look.

We think it's important for him to have

the best education that he can have

- and I know you do too.

- Mm-hmm.

And so now you're under

the cover of your marriage.

- And Tim does too.

- I...

Tim is prejudiced because he works

in the public school system

and that's the difference.

That's kind of harsh.

I don't think he's prejudiced.

- He just believes in the pu...

- It's not harsh, it's the truth.

I feel like the voices

are getting really...

- Mama!

- I'm sorry, buddy. Yeah?

- I'm sorry.

Oh, wait. I think I know

what I need to do.

I know what I need to do.

I think I have 15 blueberries

and you have 14.

No, I have 15 too.

- You do?

- Yeah.

Look, I have 16.

We're getting a lot

of anti-oxidants.

Okay.

- Knock, knock.

- - Who's there?

- Orange.

- Orange who?

- Knock, knock.

- Who's there?

- Banana.

- Banana who?

- Knock, knock.

- Who's there?

- Banana.

- Banana who?

Didn't you glad I didn't say...

Orange?

I'm just waiting

to get my life back.

What does that mean?

When did it come back?

When do you go from being...

I mean, you know, it's the

great joy of my life to be...

- I did it. -I know you did.

Thank you, buddy.

To be mom.

But when am I mom and...

All right, you wanna step in?

I'm gonna do this one.

All right, step in.

I'm asking you when did you feel

like you got back to yourself?

When I divorced your father.

I knew you were gonna say that.

Can you zip these up?

No, I'm not

recommending divorce.

No, I thought you were gonna say, "I'm not

kidding." I'm like, I know you're not.

Can you zip these up for me?

You know how to do that part.

But there was something truthful

about my having my own life again.

Doing pretty good

for an old man.

- I feel like an old man.

It's hard to have

a separate life.

- You do, though?

- Yeah, I feel like I do.

But I think it's the hardest

thing, somehow, getting married.

It's like, well am I a couple or

am I still the person, you know?

It's really...

It's key to remain the person that

brought something to a relationship.

And being in love,

man, we being in love.

What is that? Getting what you want or

is it giving somebody what they want?

Sacrificing, if you

want to call it that.

Two, three.

- Cheese!

- Cheese!

Okay, you wanna come down?

Uh...

Here, you want me

to give you a push?

Okay, I'll give you

a little push.

Whoa, oh, whoa!

Can I take a picture of you

with Grandma and Pop-pop?

No? I gotta take a picture

for Daddy.

All right.

- Hey, neighbor.

- Oh, hey.

- Sorry, I should have called.

- No. Stop. How are you?

I'm good, I just brought

something up for Lee.

Oh, she and the boy

are gone for the weekend.

- Oh, they are?

- Yeah. Oh, okay.

Wanna get a cup of coffee or something?

You wanna come in?

Uh, I don't wanna be

any trouble.

Better than not doing anything.

Here you go, my friend.

That's all I get?

- That's all that's left?

- Yeah, that's all that...

- I mean, it's yours if you

want it, but... -Nah.

Sorry about that, it's my friend's.

I don't do cocaine, actually.

- I don't either.

- Yeah, I'm a weed guy.

You know, if you need a little bit of help

digging your swimming pool down there,

I got a brother-in-law

that does that business.

Oh, no, the... Last night.

No, we were just

goofing around, just...

- Yeah?

- Yeah. I uh...

I'd found... I'd been doing a

little gardening for Julia

and I found some stuff and,

you know, it was interesting.

Doing some Indiana Jones

stuff, I guess.

Well, a lot of weird sh*t

happened around here.

Man, you said it.

That's the stuff

I like to get into.

Oh, really?

Yeah, it's fun.

Well, sometimes

not so much fun.

You want all those spirits to come

up here and join your family?

Well, that's interesting.

That was kind of the debate.

'Cause Lee said not

to mess with it.

- Yeah. -She said it was kind

of none of my business.

But my thought is like,

there's something in me,

and I don't know if you

can relate to this,

but there's something, if there's something down

there, part of me has got to know what it is.

Well, I know what it is, but there ain't
