Fireflies in the Garden Page #4
I would not know why, life
with him is like Christmas every day ...
but she was leaving him.
For you.
Michael, I'm sorry really.
- Have no regrets but no.
Really.
You were happy, there is the issue.
Thank you.
Papa!
Hi, sweetheart.
I missed you.
And I have something for you.
You like it?
- Thank you
You do not be nervous.
I imagine only a few questions.
About your aunt's funeral ...
Can we talk about?
You went to that funeral?
- Yeah, I was there.
That we know. - What do they here?
To help you. - Leave me alone!
I do not need your help.
- Christopher ...
They are great.
You Sweetness ...
Ernie ...
McMahon, Fisk ...
Santo ...
Fergie ...
Oh God, you have a card of Ryne
Sandberg as a beginner, my favorite.
Really?
Mine too.
It is a splatter.
Do you know them?
Really?
Of course, you can have them.
Something you cop me.
Lisa ...
it is not what you think.
Tell me now, Charlie ...
What I think? Speak!
Listen to me.
- I just listened to you.
Listening and excuses
behalf of all my ...
fellow idiots, that not one nut
care what you have to say.
Sorry about that chair.
I'm sorry that nobody buys your book.
I regret that a husband and father
not enough for you.
I never said never.
Have you been to bed with her?
Have you been to bed with her?
They said everything to you so you
delighted to hear?
How witty you are, how charming
and handsome ...
"Oh, Professor Taylor is such a genius ..."
She giggles at your stupid jokes ...
Is it so? - Yes. And then I saw her
f***ed in my office.
Is that what you want to hear?
Michael? Michael, Jane, we're leaving.
- Lisa
Sorry, nothing happened.
Lisa, get out of my car!
Your car?
Who pays for your car? You?
You do not even have a job.
Look at me when I talk to you.
Go to her.
Go inside.
Turn away, or I kill you.
motherf***er, I swear.
Are you threatening me?
I am your father.
Put that down, and come here.
Immediately.
By God,
Who are you?
The knight on her white horse?
Mommy's little protector?
You are doing nothing.
Michael!
Michael, do not!
Michael, Michael!
I hate you.
Do you hear? I hate you!
I wish you were dead.
Michael!
Christopher!
Christopher!
Stop!
- What do you want? Nothing.
Leave me alone.
- I want to talk.
What?
To tell you how disturbed I am?
You do not have to tell me that
It all is c*nt. Aunt Lisa is dead.
It's your fault.
Go away.
- You have not had time ...
I have had time. Time enough
thinking. Get out!
Go f*** aside.
I screamed as hard as I could.
I could not move.
I tried to escape, but ...
I did not even
to Aunt Lisa's funeral.
You were there.
No.
- Yes, you were there.In the car.
I saw you Christopher.
I saw you. Look at me.
Come, look at me 's on, please.
Think about it, okay?
Think carefully ...
If your mother last ball
had not thrown ...
If your sister does not
was beaten so hard ...
If my father
had not driven too fast ...
If my mother had her seat belt,
perhaps they lived.
Maybe. But that is very often 'as',
where you can do nothing.
Understand?
It's your fault.
It's your fault.
Okay?
- Yes.
We go home, come.
No, I'll walk back.
Are you sure?
It is a whole tour.
I'm sure.
Call if that changes. - Does not need.
Take it, for 't case.
You see it at home, okay?
Okay?
- Yes.
See you later.
Have I done something wrong? Jane!
No, Michael,
you've done everything perfectly.
You have left Christopher in the Wheat Field.
- He wanted to walk.
And that was good you?
- Yes. He is not a toddler anymore.
That was 4 hours ago
and he is still not home.
He'll do himself.
You're a walking disaster.
Everything you do, everything you touch,
is a mess.
Put that in your precious book.
Where are the Cubs to turn?
If you are the shortstop.
I will be the pitcher.
Your mother was a good pitcher,
when she was little.
Yes?
- Your cousin was also pretty good.
Ryne?
- No Michael.
And he could hit.
His movement was not taught.
Beautiful and thought. Of course.
On one days ...
occurred to him ...
to try each one homerun
store, when he bet.
Honk for baseball was not good enough
for your uncle Charlie.
Where you going?
- To the bathroom.
Here.
For when someone calls.
- Understood.
Who's the boss? - I.
Exactly.
Michael?
Are you awake?
Yes.
Your father gave you a good thrashing
do you know?
Look at me please, Michael.
I want you looking at me now.
Your mother and I have talked.
There are changes here.
Major changes.
I will change.
Yes?
I will try.
Believe you me?
Yes.
Good night Michael.
Good night, Daddy.
You're not the boss of me.
Do you know why?
- Why?
Because I am so much better
can fight ...
it never is well with you.
Do you think they will find Christopher?
I hope not.
Of course they find Christopher.
But if only he dead?
Look at me ...
there is no death.
I promise.
Yes, that's true.
But, you know ... Nobody is really dead
while you're thinking about them.
Want to know how I remember
to my mother thinking?
I look at my watch ...
If all numbers are the same ...
Like 11:
11, 2:22, 3:33 ...If those numbers in a row stand
it is a reminder.
I remember my mother
to tell that I love her.
Often look at your watch?
- Yes.
Yes.
and you know how much ...
your aunt Lisa was at the photo
go? - She hated that.
So I watch the game.
Leslie?
- Yes, Uncle Charlie?
Will you help me to go upstairs?
- Let me help you.
No, you stay here
for when Christopher comes back.
Come, sweetheart. Where are you?
Jane Do not worry, everything is certainly
Meet Christopher.
Kelly, that you can not say.
You have a kid, you f***ing
no right to speak.
Do not tell me
I do not have to worry.
What we do in the attic,
Uncle Charlie?
I remembered something.
What?
- Please wait.
Patience.
Patience is a virtue.
Grab it as you can.
Rarely found in women,
not in men.
Charles?
Michael?
Oh my God.
Oh God. Is he all right?
Sitting there in firecrackers?
Why would firecrackers in it?
This is what I was looking for.
What is it?
Something beautiful.
You're right.
I have no idea what it is,
to be responsible for something.
Someone ...
totally dependent on me.
Mine!
I am such a punk.
What are you talking about, Kelly?
I hope she will be healthy.
They will adopt healthy.
What is Michael from ... all this?
- He knows it yet.
Kelly ...
do not hurt him.
Dare not hurting him.
Michael has been hurt enough.
I know.
I know.
Well, we are in the right place.
Christopher, are you okay?
- Everything is fine, Mom.
Who is that?
- That is your option.
That grandmother.
Congratulations Michael
That's me.
I'll do that.
Come on, honey,
You do not hear that.
These should fit.
Hey, you know? You're two feet
grown, since I'm here, Blondie.
It can not.
Yes, you think.
