Hours Page #3

When I proposed...

What?

What now?

Sh*t!

No.

You're kidding.

You're kidding.

Sh*t! Alright, I'll be back.

Okay.

Sh*t!

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

The sticker.

Sh*t.

Okay.

Okay. Okay, okay, okay,

Dammit wait! Wait!

Are you kidding me?

Bingo! Bingo!

Good.

Orange ones.

Okay, good. Okay, good.

Grab some more.

One more over there.

I got the orange ones.

I got the orange ones!

Hold on, baby.

Okay,

Alright. I can do this.

That's right.

Yeah.

Good.

I'm back.

Everything's gonna be all right,

sweetheart.

Yeah, everything's gonna be okay.

And those problems are likely

to linger, Brian.

The water is a problem for,

throughout the metro area.

People are being told to boil it

and electricity is also the problem.

Hardly anybody has it and isn't

likely to have it for up to a month.

This is your Mom.

She was on a panel at a convention.

And... the convention

was on event planning,

It was really just an event

to discuss planning other events.

I keep this picture because...

she'd argue that she didn't look cute

when she was angry.

And she used to hate it

when I told her that.

Yeah.

Pretty cute, huh?

Let me see what else we have.

I hear you.

Okay, here we go.

This is when I proposed to your Mom.

Let me preface by saying that

before I started dating your mother...

she hated the idea of marriage.

She said it was

"the death of the individual."

Yeah. So she plans this romantic

getaway to this beach.

It was really a business write-off

because the hotel was trying

to get her to host events there.

And... I don't know, I just thought it'd be

a perfect time to pop the question, so...

I had my grandmother's ring restored.

They gave these to me

before your mother went into labor.

You know.

Well, we went to dinner that night.

And it was this...

it was a fancy restaurant

at the end of this pier.

It was perfect, really, so,

you know, the drink order came and...

I dropped to one knee,

pulled the ring out...

she got mad.

She got so mad at me,

her nostrils flaring, all-the-way mad.

I didn't know what was going on.

She gets up and she throws

her napkin down on the table.

I thought I was gonna shatter

into a million pieces.

That's why I asked her.

"What's wrong?"

And she pulled out this ring.

She said,

"You, idiot, I was gonna propose to you!"

That's when this roving photographer

snapped this photo of us.

What else do I have?

You know that's somebody

I would have liked you to met.

You two are quite alike, really.

This here? This is your life.

This is you at 3 months.

Kinda look like you're laying in a hammock.

You think?

Let's see what we got.

Oh, this is when you had us really worried.

You were trying to get all your nutrients

from your Mom.

You were doing the best you could,

but, we didn't know.

This was a month later.

You see that?

Your Mom was on this crazy diet,

she was taking vitamins and supplements,

everything that she could to keep you

healthy and you just kept hanging on.

You're a fighter.

That's what the Doctors kept saying.

Kinda like your granddad.

All action and no words.

Now you got me.

Time for me to do the heavy lifting.

I gotta put in my hours.

And I'm on the clock.

There's been some huge health concerns

with poisonous snakes out there, fire ants

and mosquitos infecting the city.

Have you heard much

about how concerned health officials

are about those folks whom...

weren't fortunate to get out.

When you start working again,

I'll hear you.

Radio.

Yes.

Yes.

Okay.

Be right back.

Hello?

Hello, can anybody hear me?

Hello?

Hello, can anybody hear me?

Come on!

No! Go, go, go!

This is Commander John Engel

of the U.S. Coast Guard.

Anyone broadcasting

on this channel, over.

Please, respond, over.

If you can hear this but cannot respond,

turn to channel twelve

- for evacuation emergency precautions.

- I hear you! No! Stay on!

Yeah. Hello?

Hello. Hey, can you hear me?

This is Nolan Hayes.

I'm at Saint Mary's Hospital. I got a baby

on a ventilator that needs a rescue team.

Right away, please.

She needs to be moved!

- Anyone attempting to enter the city in the next...

- Hello?

- Evac...

- Hello?

- Please...

- Hey, can you hear me?

...remain calm, avoid traveling

or wading in the water.

This message will repeat.

What?

A little while ago

you were giving me two minutes.

I want two minutes!

Please, two minutes. Come on!

You're playing dirty, Mister Machine.

No. Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

How flooded do you think

the generator room is?

Yeah. I'm gonna go check.

Alright? I'm gonna go check.

Stupid machine.

Oh, man! Damn!

Jesus!

Yeah!

Alright. Here we go.

Get you over there.

One, two...

Son of a... b*tch!

Are you kidding me? Come on!

Alright.

Sh*t!

No! No. No, no. God!

Yes. Yes.

Yes. Okay.

One, two...

Come on. Ready?

Come on!

Don't be a p*ssy. Let's go.

One, two, three...

Yes!

Yes!

Okay. Okay. Alright.

I'm going. I'm going!

Come back.

Come back, please.

I didn't mean to be gone for so long.

Yes. Thank you.

Thank you, machine. Thank you.

No.

Now, the Coast Guard has been

spending much of its time...

with 17 helicopters in the area,

rescuing people in and around the area,

literally pulling people off rooftops...

All empty.

Gimme something.

Come on!

Okay. Okay, he's getting closer.

He's getting closer!

Okay. I got you.

Sh*t!

I know, sweetheart.

I know.

I hear you.

Okay.

What?

Okay.

We're gonna give this one more try.

What am I gonna do

when I get to the roof, huh?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Yes.

Bingo!

Oh! Sh*t!

No!

Hey! Hey! Right here!

Yeah, come on!

Come on down!

Come on. Yeah, we're here!

Yeah, come on!

Hey!

You come pick us up first!

No, wait! Wait! Wait!

No! Come back! Come back!

Goddammit! Goddammit!

That was our way out.

That was our way out!

...hospital already

without power or supplies,

sniper fire hold up effort

to evacuate patients.

Another hospital official said

a gunman tried to take a nurse hostage...

demanding a seat on a helicopter...

Hello?

Where you at?

Oh, I got you.

You may as well just come out.

What the...?

Hey!

Hey, buddy.

What are you doing in there?

You okay?

Are you tangled up there?

Oh, you're tangled up, huh?

Just take it easy. Stay.

Well...

Damnit!

Alright, well, I'll be back.

I'll be right back.

Son of a b*tch.

Well, what do you say?

Easy.

Okay?

Oh, come on. You don't wanna bite

the hand that frees you.

Alright? Now be a good dog.

We're gonna do this.

Let's get this.

Don't you bite me.

Big ass teeth.

Don't bite it. That's okay.

Come on. I know.

I know, I know, I know, I know. Hold on.

It's okay. Easy. I'm getting this off.

Alright.

Good job.

Good boy.

Hang in there, Abby. Okay?

Hey.

What are you doing out there in the hall?

Don't be a stranger. It's okay.

Come on. Come say hey.

Come on.

Don't be scared, you, big chicken.

Okay. I know what you want.

There you go.

Go ahead.

There you go.

That's what I thought.
