Goodbye Solo Page #3

and you're still late!

I'm sorry, madame.

Sorry about that.

If I had a cell phone,

you can just call me.

- lsn't that right, William?.

- Yes.

Where are we going?.

God knows where your dad's taking me.

I'm telling you,

this is the best place right here.

You got restaurants all over the place,

you can walk down to them.

- It takes five minutes.

- Bye, William.

Bye, Alex.

When is the next time

you're going to the movies?.

- I don't know.

- You have my cell phone, right?.

Okay. You know what,

just give me a call

whenever you need anything, all right?.

Okay?.

Bye, William.

You think he's okay in there?.

If he didn't like it, he would just leave.

Yeah, I know, but you don't understand.

I understand more than you.

- Hey, Malaak.

- Hey, Solo.

- How you doing?.

- Very good.

- How are you?.

- I'm good.

- Good to see you.

- Nice to meet you, too.

Listen, I want to ask you a favor.

Could you keep an eye on my friend?.

If anybody comes,

if a taxi comes and picks him up,

if anything strange happens,

please let me know.

- I will.

- All right?.

- All right.

- Thank you very much.

- Hey, Solo?.

- Yeah.

Can I get a phone card next time?.

You mean a ten-dollar phone card?.

- Yes, sir.

- I got you, big dawg.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Have a good night.

- Bye, Alex.

Quiera, I'm really sorry,

but it's just not working.

No, no, Quiera, I did--

Whatever you asked me to do, I did it.

Whatever-- No, no, no,

I never said that.

No, listen, listen.

No, Quiera, listen!

Quiera! Hello?. Hello?.

She doesn't sound good.

I'm glad her aunt and her niece

are moving in, because...

What are you doing?.

Dawg, I don't even know

what I'm doing right now.

Who the hell told you to come here?.

You know I can't go to Navani.

I mean, I just can't.

And Roc-- Roc is in with some stuff

I'm not interested in,

- so I figured maybe for a couple days--

- No.

-... I could--

- There's no room.

Big dawg, this place is huge!

In Africa ten people can sleep in here.

Ten people!

And plus, see?.

This is all I have.

This is all.

I have nothing else.

See this bag?.

This is the only thing I have here!

This sofa is perfect.

All I need is a tiny place to study.

I didn't tell you.

Check this out.

I'm studying for my interview.

And this time, I'm going all the way.

I'm telling you, all the way.

No stopping!

Quiera says I can't do it.

Why not?. I can do it!

I can do it, because you know what?.

I want to do it. That's all.

So, big dawg, I'm just going

to chill in here and study, all right?.

Is that cool with you?.

See?. I'm sitting here, I'm studying.

Can you see me?.

You can't see me.

You're chilling over there, watching TV.

I'm here chilling, man.

You know what I'm saying?.

This light over here--

if I turn it off and I don't smile,

you're not gonna notice--

Stay out of my stuff!

Keep your sh*t over there

and leave me alone.

Thank you very much, big dawg.

That's what I'm talking about.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

I appreciate it.

I have my interview on Monday,

and I'm going to ace it.

I really don't give a sh*t.

I don't want to know.

I don't want to know about Quiera

or anything about your life.

Sorry about that.

If you like this place, you can keep it

when I leave next week.

Their rates are very fair.

Come on, Cab 64.

Have you ever heard of this place

called Blowing Rock?.

Blowing Rock?.

Well, of course I have.

It's up in the mountains near Boone.

Actually, I know where it is,

but do you know if there's anything

happening there on October 20th?.

Not to my knowledge.

We used to go there when we were kids.

It's the only place in the world

where the snow goes upside down.

What?. I mean, what do you mean?.

It's so windy, if you throw a stick

or anything off the rock,

it gets blown back into the sky.

Blown back up to the sky?.

- Are you serious?.

- Yeah, Cab 64.

That's why it's called "Blowing Rock."

All right. 6-4 out.

Sorry, William.

I didn't mean to wake you up.

I got us some playing cards.

And I know you like DVDs,

so I got you some new releases.

We don't have a DVD player.

- Now would you be quiet?.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

Just because I know

you like movies, you know.

Sorry about that.

Man, I miss them.

Alex is getting ready to go to school now.

She's probably having breakfast

with Quiera in the kitchen.

Are you married, William?.

I was.

What happened?.

You divorced?.

My wife left me 30 years ago.

I'm sorry to hear that.

And do you have any kids?.

No. None.

I'm trying to sleep.

Sorry about that.

It's just that I'm going to have

my first kid soon, you know?.

Goodnight, William.

"First Aid and the Flight Attendant.

"Flight attendants are not responsible

"for diagnosing illness,

but to support life.

"No medicines.

"Bleeding.

"Burns.

Heart attacks."

This is just vitamin C, aspirin,

calcium, and antihistamine.

Antihistamine?. What's that?.

That's something that's used

to counter histamines.

And what does that mean?.

If somebody has allergies.

These are just over-the-counter drugs.

So none of those is for anything serious?.

No.

Like when somebody's

about to die or something?.

Excuse me?.

You know, something like cancer

or something like that?.

No. Sir, if you're not feeling well,

I suggest you consult with a physician.

Are you okay?.

I'm sorry about that, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Is there anything else I can help you with?.

No. I'm good.

- Thank you. I appreciate it.

- Okay.

There we go.

- William and me, we're in room 213--

- You already told me that.

I already put it in.

How did you even learn

the cell phone that fast?.

It's not hard.

Now whenever you need a taxi,

you can call me, all right?.

Bijou, it's going

to be all right, you know?.

Mom says you're going to come back.

Whatever happened between Mom and me

has nothing to do with you.

You understand that, right?.

It doesn't matter if I understand.

It doesn't change anything in the past.

When you grow up, you'll understand.

I don't want to grow up

and learn all that bullshit.

Where did you learn this word?.

You know what?.

I bet you can't even use this phone

to take a picture of me.

- Can, too.

- You don't know how to do that.

I'll prove it.

You'll prove it?.

All right, there we go.

Let me see.

How come this hot dog

looks better than me?.

That's not fair.

No. You know what?.

Show me, show me.

How do you do that?.

Thank you.

Enjoy the show.

Thank you.

Hey, how can I help you?.

Yeah, two for Outcast.

All right.

That'll be $16, please.

Thank you.

Enjoy the show.

Thank you.

I really liked the movie.

- Thanks for recommending it.

- Yeah, no problem.

Acting was great.

- I'm a big fan of--

- William!

- Good-bye.

- Yep.

Hey, how can I help you?.

Come in the front, big dawg.

Come, come.

What did you see?.

How was your movie?.

Why didn't you call me?.

You've underlined a lot of words.

Yeah, it's because

I don't know the meaning
