Lost Cat Corona Page #4

---

it just blew.

So tell me,

what brings my favorite nephew

all the way over to my place,

when his place

his only ten minutes away

and I never see him?

What's wrong?

Who said anything was wrong?

I can see it your face.

Same face your father

used to have...

I don't know.

Well, what?

This guy... I backed down

to this messed up guy.

You want me to do

something about this.

No, no.

Uncle Sam, it's not that.

It's, it's just that,

I'm always...

I was actually scared.

I get it.

So instead of him,

possibly beating

the sh*t out of you,

you are beating

the sh*t out of yourself.

Very smart.

Listen to me.

You pick the fights.

You don't let fights pick you.

You've always been a smart kid.

You gotta stay smart.

You understand me?

Come on.

It's a nice way

of calling me a p*ssy.

You're not a p*ssy.

Your daddy didn't raise

no p*ssy.

He was a tough guy.

Yeah, and they wacked him.

They wacked him,

he made a mistake.

But all the guys respected him.

Don't you forget that.

Come on, get out of it!

You got my word.

You got my word.

It's just that, you know,

my dad died and all that,

things just got insane,

that's all.

That's all there is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

I hear you, sal.

My heart bleeds for you.

It really does.

But I want my f***ing money now.

You been jerking me off

long enough.

Big ed, a little more time,

that's all I'm asking you for.

Have I not been a god customer?

I need you to think about it

for a second, that's all.

Ed?

Big ed?

Yeah, I'm here.

All I was saying was...

If I could just get a, you know

I got the money,

it's not that I don't have it.

You know, I've got

these relatives over the house,

I can't get it all over to you,

you know what I'm saying?

That's the only reason

I'm stalling.

Hey, I must be

some sort of athlete.

I'm sitting on the throne,

I'm talking to you,

blowing my nose

all at the same time.

But do what the f***

you gotta do, sal.

But bring down the money

tomorrow morning.

I'll be at my club.

Okay, I got it.

Hope you sh*t your liver out.

You fat bastard.

Thank you.

I appreciate you

making the trip.

Means a lot.

There he is.

Hey.

Ah, it's been too long.

My condolences, sal.

Now, we're all on the clock.

Yeah, so how you doing?

Ah, there she is.

You got so big!

Such a pretty young lady.

Listen, Connie sends

her sympathies.

Sorry she can't be here.

She's has her mother

in the hospital.

She okay?

Yeah, she'll be fine.

It's tough

when they get old, huh?

I know, I know.

You're hanging in there?

Me? Yeah.

You know me and him

weren't that close.

And my mom's doing...

She's over there with Jackie.

Did you see the ring

that sal got me.

Let me go pay my respects.

I'll be back.

Okay.

Hey, I gotta ask you something.

So you stick around, okay?

All right.

Don't go nowhere.

I know. I'm gonna move

your mother's flowers

to the front.

Dominic, hello.

Thanks for coming.

No joke.

It's a good thing people die,

or I'll never have a chance

to see you knuckleheads.

Weddings and wakes.

Tell you the truth, dead people

in boxes still creeps me out.

What if they turn

a nice color?

The deceased.

I have always thought that.

What if they turn

a nice color?

Like the leaves in the fall.

See, that would be cool.

Right?

It would be like a drama

to the catskills den, right?

Exactly. In October.

Doesn't Louise look so beautiful

laying there, she turned such

a nice golden color...

F***ing gorgeous.

Exactly.

And then we throw up

one more festoonery too.

Autumnal. "Autum-al festival"?

How did you get a diploma?

F*** ya.

Hey, but sal's holding up

pretty good, huh?

You know sal?

No better than you.

You guys were thick as thieves

back in the day.

It's not for me to say.

But Jackie should try a sentence

without the word "i" in it,

once in a while.

I know, I said the same thing.

All she said is,

"i, I, i".

I said the exact same thing.

"I this" and "i that".

Maybe I wouldn't mind

if she actually has

something to say.

I agree.

I said the exact same thing.

Ready to leave?

Maybe we should say

goodbye to Jackie first.

Yeah, you know,

he's this really cool scientist.

You know, he's this tweaked up

insane pothead.

I see he's...

Was a genius.

For sure, you know,

he said...

You ever heard of mensa?

You have to be a genius

to be a member.

See that fellow over there?

Yeah.

That's my future son-in-law.

He belongs to feces.

Sh*t for brains.

No respect.

None.

F***ing kids today,

I'd like to put that stick

right up his ass.

With a cellphone chaser.

Right.

Yeah.

Duck face, right now.

Relax, brother.

Take it easy.

I'm suppose sit around all day,

and wait

for something to happen.

Shouldn't even be

getting involved

with nickel and dime sh*t

that's going down today,

you understand?

You wanna put

some hair around it?

Let me remind you, brother.

The next time you're

not gonna get so lucky

on a technicality.

So get it through

your thick f***ing head, okay?

One more charge sticks

on anything,

and I mean anything,

they gonna lock your ass up

and throw away the key.

You listening?

F*** the key!

Well that might be

the only thing

you'll be able to f***.

Well, how long

has he been missing?

A day.

Well, that must be your bike

with the pink carrier

i saw out front.

It's a girl's bike.

Yes, it is.

What kind is it?

The cat?

No, the bike.

I don't know.

Cats are very smart.

I'm sure he'll find

his way home.

Maybe not.

He will.

Mr. Franco looked good,

didn't he?

They sure did a nice job.

When you're that old,

the only time

people say you look good

is when you're dead.

What's your cat's name again?

He said it was Leonard.

Leonard.

It's great.

It's a great name.

Love that name.

I'll be right back!

One minute!

Hey, thanks for waiting.

Yeah, what's up?

Look, I know it's last minute.

And I wouldn't ask

if I wasn't jammed up, but...

I can use your help.

All right, what do you need?

Bye.

Thank you.

I have no idea who that is.

It's about Mary.

Your daughter?

She all right?

She needs an operation.

Ah, sh*t.

No, dommy, take it easy.

It's not life threatening.

It's...

It's a strabismus.

You know, the cross eye.

Oh, sal.

You hardly even notice that.

Isn't it astigmatism?

I mean, you may not see it,

but...

True, astigmatism

that would be easy.

Strabismus not so much.

Strabismus?

And the other kids,

they all make fun of her.

Mary's a doll, okay.

F*** those halfwits.

Strabismus?

Yeah.

And the insurance companies,

no help. Don't wanna cover

the operation. Believe it?

Bastards don't wanna pay

for nothing.

I know.

So, I was a wondering,

you got a minute?

You gotta help him now.

I do not understand.

What?

He's pathetic.

Look, he's an old friend.

What can I do?

You can remind him

that's your father lying there.

I promised I would help him.

This cat is important to him.

It's like his kid or something.

This isn't a big deal.

We're gonna ride around
