Peep World Page #7

---

F***ing fantastic.

All I care about is us.

And the baby.

Laura, I'm sorry.

For everything.

I don't know how,

but I promise you

I'll make it work.

We'll make it work.

Ugh.

Mm.

Do we have to go back

in there?

Yeah, I'm hungry.

Ephraim, I'm bored.

What the hell are you doing?

Put it away.

Hey, slow down.

You're gonna make yourself sick.

Okay.

In the spirit of goodwill,

I just want

to ask you something.

What do you want from me?

What do you want?

You want me to tell you

what a bastard I've been?

Why I didn't go

to your stupid hockey games?

Or why I didn't come

to your dance recitals?

Okay.

I'll say it.

I'm sorry.

There. I said it.

All right?

Do you feel better?

I think we should go.

Let's go.

You hear that?

You see the way

she takes care of me.

Come here, sweetheart.

Ugh.

We're gonna have a baby.

Are you kidding me?

Wait.. What?

Amy's pregnant.

- L'Chaim..

- What?

How far along are you?

You're having a baby?

Again?

You're, like, 100 years old.

You're gonna have a kid?

No. Hey!

I have something

to say to you guys.

You should be happy

for yourfather..

You know what,

you all talk about him like

he's some sort of a monster.

I mean did he...

did he hit you?

Did he molest you or something?

No, he didn't..

The only thing ne's guilty of

is being successful.

Your father is

the most generous,

kind, thoughtful,

sincere man I have ever met

in my entire life.

And I'm just really sorry

you all can't see him like that.

Amen.

And that is why I love her.

I'm gonna be sick.

- Stop kissing her.

- I'm gonna be sick.

And as far as you people

are concerned,

I want to tell you something.

You want to know who to blame

for your shitty lives?

Blame yourselves,

because I am sick and tired

of your Whining

and your complaining.

Your lives would have been

miraculous

if I hadn't been your father.

Well, bullshit.

You don't like being part

of my family,

go find your own family.

Okay?

Goddamned spoiled brat kids.

I know. I know.

You're just jealous

of my Will.

Daddy, nobody's interested

in your will..

We want you to live

a long, happy life.

Not that will.

What is wrong with you?

How old are you?

Not my... that will.

My will to live,

my life,

any damn way I please.

Are you ever gonna grow up?

Shut up.

Shut up!

All my life, I've been listening

to your fighting

You hate her.

She hates you.

You all hate your father.

Not once did any of you have

the common courtesy

to ask me how I felt,

the pain that I

was going through.

Well, now you're all gonna

hear about it.

Honey? He's choking!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

He's choking!

Daddy!

Jack!

Henry!

Make him stop the choking!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Henry.

Call an ambulance.

Help!

- Oh, my God.

- Dad?

Daddy?

- Dad.

- Dad.

Henry, Henry?

Henry, can you hear me?

I don't know.

- Please.

- Call 911.

Does he have a pulse?

Dad, can you hear me?

Henry.

Dad.

I got the big boy rims

On the big boy Whip

I got the big boy rims

On the big boy Whip

I got them big boy rims

On the big boy Whip

I got the big boy rims

On the big boy Whip

I got them big boys rim

On the big boy Whip

Doctor Calder, please,

for emergency.

Nathan,

why don't you sit down?

I can't..

There are consequences.

You know,

there's a price to pay.

What did you say?

I'm saying it's karma, Nate.

You... you caused a lot of pain,

and you caused

a lot of suffering,

and now there's a price.

So my book brought this on?

Is that what you're saying?

Know what,

f*** you, Cheri.

Hey, guys.

This is not the time.

Nathan, you're not responsible

for what happened to dad.

Cheri, come on.

That was pretty hurtful

what you did, Nathan.

I tried reading Peep World,

and I had to put it down.

It was like looking at...

a bad photograph of yourself

or hearing your voice

on a tape recorder

for the very first time.

Pshh, only worse.

I did finish it eventually,

but it hurt.

And it still hurts.

And you want to know

the worst thing?

You're my brother,

and you see me as a joke,

a fat one, a fool.

I expected more from you, Nate.

I'm not angry.

I'm telling you.

It hurt.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm still gonna sue.

Dr. Reidl, please call 600.

Dr. Reidl, cab' 600.

Not now.

Well, now would be

a good time.

I know.

But it's just so jangly.

It's too much.

Okay, okay.

What are we gonna do

if he dies?

We'll live.

Are you the Meyerwitz family?

Yes.

Even though

it was never his intention,

Henry Meyerwitz

had finally brought

his family together.

It nearly killed him.
