May
What's wrong
with my eye, Mama?
The doctor says it's lazy.
But...
we're going to make you
look perfect.
It itches.
Do you want make friends?
Then keep it covered.
Are you a pirate?
Happy Birthday to you.
I've always said,
"If you can't find
a friend,
make one."
Happy birthday, sweetheart.
Now it's ruined.
Her name is Suzie.
Suzie was the first doll
I ever made.
She was my best friend.
And now she'll be yours.
No, no, no,
you can't take her out.
She's special.
What do you think
of my pirate patch?
I bet you're wondering
what I'm making.
Okay, I'll tell you.
I saw someone today.
A boy.
You know how
when you meet someone...
and you think
you like them,
but then the more
you talk to them
you see parts
you don't like.
Like that guy
on the bench.
And sometimes...
you don't end up liking
any parts at all.
But...
the boy I saw today
is different.
I like every part of him.
Especially his hands.
They're beautiful.
Don't be mad.
You've been my friend
my whole life.
And you see me,
you always have, but...
I need a real friend.
Someone I can hold.
I'm going to give you
some cardboard shades
you can wear over
your regular glasses
until the dilation wears off.
Will my contacts be ready
by Friday?
Should be.
You look awfully excited.
I have a date.
You're sure my eye won't cross
with the contacts?
Positive.
The contacts will pull
your good eye forward
just like
your regular glasses.
Your lazy eye just needs
a little help.
I need all the help
I can get.
This boy is perfect.
If I saw you
Now
Could I look in your
Eyes?
Do you think of me
Like I dream of you?
Do you wish you were here
Like I wish I...
Oh, slick shades.
What the hell is a scupel?
- Scalpel?
- Oh!
Your dog's going
to be fine, ma'am.
Scalpel!
Thanks for the heads up, doll.
Scupel.
Wait! Hold 'em up!
Moy, I need a big scupel
for German Shepard surgery tomorrow.
No forget it.
Prep it up for me.
Hey, May, hold up.
I want to ask you something.
What are you going
to be for Halloween?
I've just been wracking
my brains, you know,
trying to come up
with something original.
Do you got any ideas?
You have a beautiful neck.
Thank you.
You should call me
one of these nights.
You know,
we'll hang out and...
eat some melons
or something.
Okay.
Come on, come on back
to me right now
Come on, come on,
come on
Do you love me now?
Did you love me before?
Do you love me now?
When I left for vacation,
my dog had four legs.
Okay?
Then I came back...
now she only has three.
You know,
I looked everywhere.
I can't find her leg.
What do I do?
May?
May, would you help
this gentleman?
You got to help me here, May.
I got a serious situation here, okay?
I got a dog,
it's missing a leg, okay?
I'm throwing it a stick
and nothing.
Nothing happens.
Hello?
Jesus, what are you doing?
Relaxing.
Doesn't it hurt?
No.
Ow!
You crazy b*tch!
Why did you do that?!
Actually...
I kind of liked it.
Do me again.
It was in the rose bushes.
You can't just...
sew it back on...
can you?
I could.
Hello.
You can use me...
I mean, mine.
Thank you.
- What's your name?
- May.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Adam.
You want to smoke
a smoke with me?
You got to puff.
So, do you make
your own clothes?
Yes.
That's cool.
Thank you, Adam.
You're welcome, May.
I love your hands.
I think they're beautiful.
I used to be a hand model.
- I'm kidding, May.
Whoa!
Oh!
Well...
Race cars.
What's that?
Oh, yeah.
My, uh...
girlfriend bought me these.
Anyway.
You know, I meant,
my ex-girlfriend...
bought them for me.
Practice.
I'll see you around, May.
"Hey, see you around, right?"
I'm so sorry that...
I tripped in front of you
at the coffee shop.
Maybe we could...
we could do something.
"See you around."
"See you around, right?"
Hello, happy!
Dr. Zarkizein needs you
to do a fecosam
on the miscitta.
Does that make
any sense to you?
Fecal exam on Miss Kitty.
No problem.
Oh, excuse me.
Hey!
What's up, May?
I was just about to...
about to have lunch.
Wow, you look great!
You hungry?
I will cut.
And you pick.
Good choice.
So what do you do, May?
I work at the animal hospital.
And I sew.
Okay.
Animal hospital.
Some people think
it's kind of gross.
I love gross.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Disgust me, please.
Okay.
A couple of weeks ago,
this old man comes in
and says his dog is dying.
And he begs us to save it.
A 90-pound black Lab
named Seymour.
We take him in
and run some tests
and we find that he has
a twisted bowel.
And he needs
to be operated on immediately.
So, we shave Seymour's tummy,
we cut him open
and we take out a piece
of intestine about,
about the size of a hot-dog.
Everything went smooth,
but...
when we went to sew
Seymour back up,
we realized we were out
of the heavy sutures
that you're supposed to use
for large dogs.
So the doctor decided
if we tripled up
on cat sutures
that should do the trick.
Well,
a few days go by
and the old man calls up
hysterical.
The cat sutures had burst
when he was at work.
And by the time he got home,
Seymour was sprawled out
on the back porch
with his guts spread
all over the concrete.
And the fence
was soaked in blood
all the way around the yard.
It was a mess.
I had to sew that one back up.
So, I guess your job
takes lots of guts.
Lots.
Why are those kids touching
everything like that?
They're blind kids.
They're from the day care center
around the block.
Dang, I got to go.
There's an Argenta playing
at the Beverly in 15 minutes.
I took the afternoon off.
They're showing "Trauma."
- Is that a movie?
- You've never seen "Trauma"?
Don't go.
What?
Nothing.
I should probably get back
to work, anyway.
Thank you for the sandwich...
and the cigarette.
I got to see this movie,
but maybe I can
see you again sometime.
How about tonight?
I got this thing tonight, but...
- maybe after.
- Great!
All right.
I look forward to it, May.
You want to take it with you?
Thanks for the advice, doll.
So...
what were you doing to me
that day at the coffee shop?
I'm so embarrassed.
Why?
I've never had
a boyfriend before.
Do you like me, Adam?
Sure, I do.
You don't think I'm weird?
I do think you're weird.
- I knew that.
- I like weird.
I like weird a lot.
You are perfect, aren't you?
Nobody's perfect.
You're perfect.
You want to see my room?
Does this stuff freak you out?
Nothing freaks me out.
That's right, it wouldn't,
would it?
You're on to me.
I'm a psycho.
Got you.
It's pretty cool, huh?
Whoa! Jesus Christ!
Who taught you how to kiss?
Suzie.
Who taught you how to kiss?!
Ah!
What's the haps, doll?
What happened to your hand?
Scupel.
You're funny.
You want to watch me file?
Hey.
We got the whole place
to ourselves.
Let's dance.
Listen, they're serenading us.
We have to dance now.
Oh.
Please, please, please.
