My Blind Brother Page #6

---

Well, make up your mind.

It's pretty much

straight across.

No, I know.

But there are other horns.

Yeah, exactly.

One for left.

Two for right.

Three for danger.

It's pretty easy.

There are other boats, Rob.

Yeah, no sh*t, we're in

a lake where boats are.

Jesus.

[music playing]

Put that down.

That's not yours.

You saw that?

Yeah, I saw it.

Leave it alone.

[music playing]

You're doing great, Rob.

We're like halfway there.

Water.

Yeah.

Any time today would be great.

I can't find it.

What?

Just a minute.

Oh f***.

Oh my god.

This...

Oh.

Sh*t.

Goddammit.

Jesus.

Get off of me.

No, you're hurt.

Bill, get off of me.

It's against the rules.

There are no rules, Robbie,

just get in the boat.

Get the f*** off of me.

Jesus, what's wrong

with you, man?

You're so f***ing

useless sometimes.

I mean, what is it, man?

What?

What? You don't want to finish,

is that what it is?

You're so jealous

of me it's pathetic.

Guys, please.

This is not going

to help anything.

Is that not why you're

trying to f*** my girlfriend?

You know what, Bill, if you

really wanted her so bad,

you could have just asked.

She's really pretty easy.

Watch your f***ing mouth.

F*** you.

You walk around pretending

to do all this sh*t for me

but really it's just cause

you have nothing better to do.

You don't have a life, man.

Everybody knows it.

No one wants to say it, but

you are a f***ing loser.

He doesn't mean that.

Don't you tell me what I mean.

Shame on you.

Fine, why don't you finish

your bullshit swim on your own.

I will.

You're a selfish prick.

I don't need you.

And I hope you f***ing drown.

F*** you.

F*** you.

Bill.

Bill.

Bill, stop.

You can't leave

him in the water.

OK.

OK.

OK, I'm sorry.

Robbie.

Robbie.

Is that him?

Yeah, I think.

Oh my god.

It's a f***ing buoy.

Oh god.

Robbie.

Where did he go?

Why wasn't I watching him?

We need help.

There's no signal.

Someone help!

Help us!

[siren]

[music playing]

Rob.

Where are you, beautiful baby?

Robbie.

Robbie.

Where are you?

Robbie?

Robbie.

Robbie.

Robbie.

Bill.

Oh god.

Robbie.

What are you doing here?

I was looking for you.

You left me.

You swam off.

You left me out here to die.

No I didn't, you swam off.

Get in the boat.

No, I'm waiting

for the Coast Guard.

Don't be an a**hole.

Just get in the boat.

No.

Robbie.

Get in the boat.

First you blind me then

you steal my girlfriend?

It was a f***ing accident.

Rose was not an accident.

She's the girl.

She's the girl who wouldn't

give me her number.

And I love her.

You shouldn't have done it.

I know.

I know I let you down.

I f***ed up.

I'm sorry.

Maybe I am jealous of you.

Jesus Christ, you're so

f***ing brave and I hate it.

And I... I just hate how much

I let my life slip away.

But I love you and I'm sorry.

And please, please just get

on the boat with me, please.

I'm so tired.

I'm so tired.

I'm right here.

Here we are.

Grab the boat.

Grab it.

Grab on.

Is everyone still there?

Yep.

What about Mom?

Is she freaking out?

Yeah, I think she wants

to have me arrested.

You know, everyone's

going to see me fail.

You didn't fail.

What are you talking about?

I didn't make it across.

What if you did?

You sure you want to do this?

Yeah.

Hey, uh, don't think I

don't know that all of this

is bullshit.

But I need it.

Careful.

You OK?

You know, being blind

takes a lot of energy.

And sometimes I don't have

enough space for other people.

But I want you to know I

really do love you, Bill.

Yep.

But if you tell anyone about

this, I will have to kill you.

OK.

All right, baby.

You look beautiful, baby.

[music playing]

Now, Robbie, was there a moment

out there where you thought you

wouldn't make it back to shore?

Oh, absolutely.

But you know, as always,

I had a conversation

going with the man upstairs.

You seen Rose?

She left.

It's like I always say,

strength in numbers,

he's number one.

Thank you, Robbie, thank

you for being an inspiration.

- Hey, Francie.

- Uh huh?

Have you seen Rose?

No.

Did I say you were looking

very pretty tonight?

Rose.

Hello.

Come in.

I just wanted to come

and see, you know,

how you guys are doing.

We're OK.

It's hard.

We miss him.

There's been

something on my mind,

which is that we were having

an argument when it happened.

And that's why I think

he wasn't concentrating.

So I feel very sorry about that.

What about?

I'm sorry?

What were you fighting about?

Oh.

We were breaking up.

He told me he was going

to but I didn't know

whether he'd done it already.

Fred did like you, he just

said you watched too much TV.

No, I do.

I do.

Maybe he just wasn't

your special someone.

[music playing]

Rose.

Rose.

Rose.

Rose!

Hi.

Hi.

Pull over.

I love you.

Am I paralyzed?

Yes.

Really?

No.

No.

But you do have a concussion.

I have a concussion?

Yeah.

It was very dramatic, though.

Will you go out with me?

You know, I've got a bad track

record going out with people.

I know the risks.

And what if one day I start

to find you very irritating.

What about that?

You can dump me.

But let's be honest, I

have world class nipples.

Stop.

And I'm nice to waiters.

We just have to avoid buses and

other forms of mass transit.

Right.

You want to get up on the boat.

Yes.

All right.

Is my family here?

Robbie was hungry so they

went to get something to eat.

Good.

Yeah.

Oh, we can watch TV.

[music playing]

It's the best boat ever.
