Life During Wartime Page #6
? The lambs with his arm ?
? With his arm ?
? And carry them ?
? In his bosom ?
? That are with young ?
?? [ Distorted ]
- The computer died.
- Tech support.
Oh, and that was so beautiful.
Although next time maybe you could learn
something a little more -
Jewish?
Don't you listen to him.
Mr. Sarcastic.
while Mark is fixing the computer?
Well, yeah, sure.
Please follow me.
Please sit down.
Make yourself comfortable.
Thank you, Timmy.
Hmm. Nice place.
My mom says
Well, one step at a time.
We'll see how things go.
You mean my mom is wrong?
You're not planning to marry her?
Timmy...
I love your mother very much.
- So are you getting married?
- I hope so.
We both hope so.
A lot of that depends on you.
You know, while my brother is away at college,
I've been the man of the house.
Oh, I know that. Your mother's told me.
She's very proud of you.
If something doesn't meet my approval,
it's up to me to decide what to do.
Ooh.
That's a lot of responsibility.
You know, I'm almost 1 3.
You don't have to talk to me
like I'm still a child.
I'm sorry.
I have some questions for you.
If you lie, I'll find out...
and I won't let you
go through with the marriage.
I won't lie to you, Timmy.
I'm an open and honest person.
Have you ever had sex with a man or boy?
No.
- Not a single time?
- No.
Not even in your dreams?
No.
Okay.
Do you think a pedophile
is a terrorist?
What -What?
Um, well, I mean -
If you ever met a pedophile,
what would you do?
Timmy, I would never-
Y-You're touching me.
- Timmy...
- [ Gasping ]
I know where you're coming from.
And I want you to know -
Oh, my God.
Oh, you poor kid. Come here.
[ Screaming ]
?? [ Timmy Chanting In Hebrew ]
?? [ Continues ]
?? [ Continues ]
Joy.
Joy, it's been so long.
- Andy, no. No.
- Please don't forget me again,Joy.
- I have no one else.
- No!
[ Sniffling, Crying ]
You're the only one
who hasn't forgotten me.
Allen.
Oh.
But you cut and ran.
Oh, I know I should never have left you.
Never.
- Too late.
Oh, but, sweetheart,
isn't there anything that I can do?
Anything.
Anything to - to -
- Two things.
- [ Gasps ]
What?
What? Tell me.
Delete everything off my computer.
All the Web sites and subscriptions.
Oh. Okay.
What else?
Do what I did -
put a bullet through your temple.
Gun in mouth is also okay.
And then write a note saying...
''I am a terrible person.
I tried to improve the world, but failed.
War is evil, but what I did was worse.''
I will never rest until I see that you know
what it is to suffer like I did.
Oh, Allen, I -
I don't know, Allen.
I really think I'd prefer taking pills.
Then remember to mix them
with alcohol.
And to tie a plastic bag
around your head afterwards.
What -What if I end up a vegetable?
- You won't.
- But I don't want to die.
You die for me...
and I will know you loved me.
[ Crying ]
Shh.
Allen...
did you meet any angels?
[ Sniffles ]
Yeah.
I mean, sure.
Lots of really nice, friendly people.
Do they think this is
An eye for an eye?
Then comes forgiveness.

-?? [ Continues ]
- [ Cheering ]
?? [ Continues. Muffled ]
Where is Timmy?
?? [ Continues ]
I'll be back in five.
Hi.
Hey.
Congratulations on becoming a man.
Thanks.
I heard your dad was leaving.
Yep.
Your mom tell you?
Yeah.
Where is he moving to?
Israel.
But why?
Isn't it dangerous there?
What makes you think there won't be
I mean, if I were Al-Qaeda,
this part of Florida is a gold mine.
Anyway, I don't think he's too focused
I'm sorry I made a mistake.
I mean,
even if your dad is a pedophile...
he should be allowed to get married.
He's not a pedophile.
- Yeah, but even if he is.
- He's not.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Forget about it. It's over.
What if I -
up at college a few weeks ago.
They hung out for a little while,
and then... he left.
Disappeared.
Nobody knows where.
My mom thinks he's probably
lying somewhere dead in a gutter.
And for real this time.
But...
he wasn't a pedophile either.
-?? [ Chorus Singing In Hebrew ]
- He wasn't.
He wasn't.
[ Crying ]
I'm sorry I freaked out before.
It was before my bar mitzvah.
I was still just -
I was -
Please.
?? [ Ends ]
Sure.
Forgive and forget.
But it's like freedom and democracy.
In the end, China will take over,
and none of this will matter.
I don't care
about freedom and democracy.
I just want my father.
