Oliver Sherman Page #4

Frank?

Did you come here

today at lunch?

I was at the library all day.

You picked me up out there.

Did you threaten my wife?

I just...

we were just talking.

That is my wife!

I'm trying to raise

a family here!

Monday morning,

that's when the

next bus leaves town,

and you're on it.

Go pack your sh*t,

I'm taking you to a motel.

Uh...

Frank.

Go.

Go get your stuff.

It's over.

I'm sorry,

Frank.

I'll be back Monday 9:00 am

to take you to the depot.

Hello?

Frank?

Yeah.

It's Sherman.

Sherman,

you really shouldn't

be calling here.

I just wanted to make sure

you were still coming

to get me tomorrow.

Yeah, like I said

I'll be there at 9:00.

Good.

Um...

so I heard on the

radio yesterday

something happened

to Raymond Saddler?

Yeah,

killed himself.

Fed his dog some pills and

shot himself in the head.

I guess maybe he had a

conscience after all.

Listen Sherman,

Irene's family's here

trying to work

all this stuff out

so I really

should be getting back.

I wanted to know if maybe

you wanted to have

some breakfast

tomorrow before I go;

I have some things

I'd like to say

if I could.

Sure.

I'll come for 8:
00 then.

That's great,

I'll see you in the

morning then Frank.

All right,

bye.

I'm fine,

thank you.

You're happy

about it right,

what happened to him?

I don't know if

happy's the word.

I'm relieved that Irene and

her sister have some peace.

And the land and the

money you're all owed.

We hope so.

Well,

I'm real glad.

Listen we should probably

get the check and uh..

I wanted to

ask you something.

Okay.

I've been thinking

about things;

things you said,

you know,

With a house like that,

Raymond Saddler's -

a man could

get a wife real easy,

a man like me even.

My wife,

she'd clean it up,

make it real pretty

and who knows,

maybe we could

have some kids,

even make 'em bring

us our slippers

in front of the fireplace.

Maybe I could move in there,

since it's empty

and start making

a life like you got.

Like you said Frank,

maybe it takes

seven years for everything.

Maybe this is finally my time.

Sherman...

if...

the estate is settled

Irene and her sister

are selling it

and splitting the money.

It's-

it's already

been decided.

Oh.

Just a little something

to help you get started,

wherever that might be.

I gotta piss.
