Moonlight Mile Page #6

---

So unfair.

Don't you see that

you're doing it again?!

That is so unfair,

and you know it.

Okay, pal, you really want

to get into it,

then you stick around,

if not, go walk the dog

because I'm mad at you now!

Come on, Nix!

And make it a long walk!

Poor guy.

With Diana gone, he's got

nobody else to catch the blast.

lsn't he amazing?

You gonna sit?

Fourth one today.

Ben would have a cow.

Last time I snuck

a cigarette

was with Diana --

bra shopping.

Who gives a sh*t, anyway?

What?

Speak.

I don't know.

Sometimes I just -- I --

I look at you guys,

and I --

You wonder why the hell

we're together.

Thank you.

When I go to bed at night,

I do four things --

I drop my robe,

slide under the sheets,

turn on my left side,

and stick out my ass.

That's it.

That's the signal.

I just --

I back it right up there

because I know when I do,

no matter how cold

the damn thing is,

no matter how difficult

it might feel,

no matter how desperately

we want to kill each other,

it's gonna be met by this warm

body on the other side

that's gonna hold it.

Two arms that.wrap around,

pull me out of my head,

quiet the voices,

save me from myself,

without ever having to ask.

Every night, 3 1 years.

Every night there's my ass,

and every night.

he never lets me down.

You find your home,

and it may not be

what you thought it --

you know, color's off,

style's wrong --

but there it is, anyway,

and to hell with you

if you can't take a joke.

You find your home.

Ben's mine.

Damned if Diana didn't ask

that same thing

four weeks ago.

Saw her today.

Who?

Diana. At the Fotomat.

Girl behind the counter.

Definite 8, possible 9.

The chin.

The eyes.

Even had her ears.

lt stopped my f***ing heart.

How much longer do you think

this is gonna go on?

I mean, if that woman doesn't

come out of her coma soon,

I'm gonna go down there

and beat her out of it.

Can't take it much longer.

You look as wiped out

as I feel,

you lucky bastard.

Don't let me keep you.

Good night, Jo.

Good night, Joe.

Hey.

lsn't it the tits you and I

have the same name?

I know we've never

acknowledged it.

lt is.

lt certainly is.

Good night.

Night.

Ah!

Jesus!

What are you, 16?

# I'll be your man #

# I'll understand #

# Do my best to take #

# Good care of you #

# Yes, I will #

# You'll be my queen #

# I'll be your king #

# And I'll be

your lover, too #

# Yes, I will #

# Derry down green #

# Color of my dreams #

Please let me see you.

# A dream that's daily #

I want to see you.

# Coming true #

# I tell you #

# When day is through #

# I will come to you #

# And tell you of #

# Your many charms #

# And you --

you'll look at me #

# With eyes that see #

# And melt into #

# Each other's arms #

# And so I come #

# To be the one #

# Who's always standing #

# Next to you #

# Ohh #

Why me?

# Reach out for me #

# So I can be #

# All right #

# The one who's always #

# Reaching out for you #

# Yes, I will #

# Yes, I will #

# You'll be my queen #

# I'll be your king #

# And I'll be your lover, too #

Door's easier.

Hope she's nice.

ls she nice, Joe?

You know what kills me?

I knew.

I knew. I knew in my --

I saw it in Diana's face,

and I didn't ask,

and she couldn't tell me,

and now she's --

And you're --

lt isn't gonna happen,

is it, Joe?

I mean, you two --

You weren't gonna happen,

were you?

Huh?

You know, the thing is --

you know, this next part?

I know that it's supposed

to happen --

this, you know, you with

another -- you -- you know.

But I just -- I --

I-I'm not ready.

I'm just not ready.

You're gonna be leaving

and

Look at me.

Look at this.

Oh, yeah.

June 6, 1 966 --

my last blast.

F***ed that up

pretty good here, huh?

Oh, God.

Mm, this was the only thing

before the girl that --

only way Ben and I survived

under one roof.

Now.

you're gonna go.

I don't know where she is.

Everybody says

that they do.

But I don't know.

And I'm scared

for my baby.

And it's killing me 'cause

not knowing, and I --

I can't.

I just can't.

I can't do anything.

Everything was for her.

Everything for her,

for her --

the writing -- everything --

and now I don't --

Oh, God, I don't know

what I'm gonna do.

What are we gonna do, Joe?

I don't know.

Oh, God!

Oh, what am I gonna do?

Huh?! I'm asking you a question!

Leave me alone!

Look at me, then.

Stop it!

That's weak -- weak!

We gonna go -- we gonna go

back to this every morning,

is that it, huh?

ls that it?

Huh?!

Don't you fall apart

on me now.

Not now! Please.

lt wasn't her, Ben.

What?

lt wasn't her fault, Ben.

She was --

Ben, JoJo was upset --

She -- She was upset

because --

What?

Because Diana and I

weren't --

Hello?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

When?

I got the call myself

at 6:
30 this morning.

First words out of her mouth

were his name.

ls she out of her mind?

Ben, the woman has two bullets

in her brain.

What does this suggest?

She's gonna testify

for the defense.

She's backing up insanity.

Claims he quit taking his meds

a week before the shooting.

The things we do for love.

So, at this point,

we've really got no choice

but to press on.

Any more delays,

they scream due process,

and God knows we can't let 'em

slide on that bullshit.

All of which means that

the pressure falls on you.

Now, I can tell you.

from experience

that seeing your faces

up there

front and center

every minute,

day in and day out,

this weighs on the judge.

Whether or not he or she

will ever admit it,

it's a simple fact.

So I'm gonna need you

to be there.

I'm gonna need your help.

I'm gonna need you

to be there, all of you,

for the duration,

for your daughter.

What is wrong

with you people?!

How hard is it

to fix a window?!

How hard is it

to fix a window, huh?!

Tell me!

How hard --

Fix the window!

Jesus Christ!

What is wrong

with you people?!

Fix the window!

Floss & Son.

Floss & Son.

F-Floss & -- Flo--

Well, I'm sorry your boss

and his wife couldn't make it.

I was looking forward

to meeting the woman.

I, uh, took the liberty of

filling a space here since we --

Oh, there she is!

Hi, sweetie.

Joe, this is my daughter

Jillian.

Jillian, say hello to Joe.

Hello.

Hi.

That dress looks sensational.

A little gift.

Jillian had a birthday

last week.

ls that right?

Yeah.

When's your birthday,

Joe?

Uh, December, actually.

Oh, is that right?

Only seven months apart.

Oh.

Well, that's interesting.

You know, Joe,

I was actually your age

when I met JilI's father.

Right. Well, stranger things

have happened.

Oh.

So, Mike, uh, tells us

you are making your way

in the world of real estate.

Oh, well,

that's being generous.

Must keep you very busy.

You must value your free time.

Free time?

You know, going out,

recreation.

I --

Uh, not of late, no.

No?

Yeah.

Lately I've been a little,

uh, preoccupied.

Oh, I see. Other interests.

My fianc's death.

I didn't realize you were still
