Riding in Cars with Boys Page #4

And...

...l'm done.

Our own home.

- Ray, this is going to be so much f un!

- It's good, huh?

My God! I can't believe it!

No parents! Our own house!

Last night, I fought Ray

for the last piece of chicken.

I said, 'lf you don't let go,

I'll kill you! '

I'm starting to scare myself, Fay.

It's good Bobby's away

because I get all the food.

No fights. It's a better marriage

because of it. You okay?

She's kicking.

Mine too.

Let's let them play together.

Beverly! Fay!

- Hi, Tina.

- Tina!

We're on our way to junior prom.

I'll tell you all about it.

- Bye, girls!

- You got really big.

That was genuinely insensitive!

It's hot, I know.

I'm doing the floor.

Where is he? He was supposed to

be here three hours ago.

- I missed my appointment.

- What'll they say that's new?

I'm two weeks late.

Why won't this thing come out?!

That 'thing' is very smart.

It's not coming out

until you're ready.

What are you doing?

You're making a mess.

Pull. Pull.

I'll clean it up.

- You're three hours late!

- I'm sorry.

- You're drunk.

- No.

- You were with Lizzard!

- No! My boss.

Bev, come on.

Bev.

What are you doing?

I'm locking him out!

Come on!

Open up or else I'Il...

What? Break it down?

You'll break your neck.

Enough of this.

- Where are you going?

- I'm not staying.

I didn't break my neck.

Hi, Ma.

- Hi, Raymond.

- You idiot!

We can't afford a crib,

and you broke the window!

What am I supposed to do?

Tell my boss that...

Oh, Raymond.

You're bleeding.

I'm bleeding!

You're getting it on the floor.

And on the wall!

- Stop bleeding!

- I'm trying!

- Stop bleeding!

- Shut up.

Start moving.

Come on!

Get some peroxide and toilet paper.

Hurry up!

- Is there glass in there?

- No!

Waddle quicker!

He's bleeding to death!

Hold it tight.

It was my boss.

I had to go.

Raymond?

Look at me.

You're the man of this house.

Bring home the bacon.

If you say you'll be here, be here!

- No lying, no drinking!

- Mom!

- What?

- Help!

Help! Come on!

What?

What's happening?

Oh, Bev.

- Your water broke.

- What?

Is that supposed to happen?

- I'm so ex cited.

- This is so gross.

Hello, beautif ul.

Hello, beautif ul baby.

Is this the most

beautif ul baby you've ever seen?

I'm serious. Is this the most

beautif ul baby you've seen?

Well, to be honest, yeah.

Let's go see Bev.

She wants to see you.

Come on, it'll be f un.

Mommy's 15, Daddy's a moron,

and they want us to celebrate.

We know better.

I'll be back later.

Come on, Leo.

For the record,

I'm on your side.

Mr. and Mrs. Hasek,

I have your baby.

Hey, can you wait one second?

Hey, Bev.

I'm sorry I broke your water.

Nothing like that

will ever happen again.

No more drinking.

No more forgetting.

I'm gonna be good, okay?

I love you so much.

This is one of the most beautif ul

baby boys I've ever seen.

I didn't have a boy,

I had a girl.

No, we had a boy.

Don't you remember?

I told Fay we'd both have girls...

...and they'd be just like us.

No, we had a boy.

He's going to grow up

and be just like me.

Try feeding him for a little while.

I'll be back in 20 minutes.

I'll try.

It's a boy.

- It sure is.

- It's a boy.

No!

Hydrogen, helium,

lithium, beryllium...

We're gonna get a good one.

Ready?

Hold that! Ready?

Click.

Jason and Amelia,

sitting in a tree...

...while Bev is getting

her high school degree.

I'm trying to study.

Ten more minutes.

Be quiet for a minute.

Jason, God!

Can't he hit the bowl?

You're distracting me.

Ma!

- What?

- Jason won't leave me alone!

You're his mother.

I got four weeks to study

for the SAT, for the scholarship.

I know you're smart,

and you have dreams.

But you need a job.

This one pays for living expenses.

I told you to change his diaper

an hour ago.

He loves when you do it.

- I have to iron now.

- Ma!

Change it!

Mommy has to study.

I'm doing everything I can

to get us out of here.

Mr. Stinky Pants.

What happened?

What?!

What happened?

He peed in my mouth!

Come here, Jason.

Come on, big boy.

Jason, God bless you.

You make your grandma so happy.

Mommy pee-pee mouth.

- I'll get this one.

- What do I do?

Let's throw some more.

Check it out.

- I don't have any rocks.

- You don't need rocks after this.

Yeah! All right!

You okay?

How long you been sick?

About ten...

Hey, Al, I'm done for the day.

All right, man.

- See you tomorrow.

- On time, okay?

- I see it.

- That's because we screwed up.

I said to him:

"B-O-B-B-Y...

...if you re-enlist,

I want a D-l-V-O-R-C-E."

I got the guts to say it.

Know what he said?

He wanted one too.

Sorry to bother you with this.

Mom, we're stuck.

He's met some girl named Monsoon.

I'm here, taking care of our kid...

...he's on some beach,

falling in love with Monsoon.

What kind of name is Monsoon?

- Good.

- That's good?

We know Bobby's not coming back.

- What're you gonna do with your life?

- I don't know.

Mommy!

Fay has bigger problems right now.

Be considerate.

What am I gonna do?

You're a great artist.

Do something with that.

- Like what?

- Like me and my scholarship.

- I'm not as smart as you.

- I'll help you.

- Just you and me.

- It's always you and me.

Yeah!

I can wear it and return it.

Can you finish me up?

Perf ume.

Ready, go.

Okay, put it down.

Come on.

- How do I look?

- You look beautif ul, Mommy.

No, say that I look smart.

You look smart, Mommy.

You do.

Thank you.

I'm going to drop you off

with Daddy.

And then Mommy...

...is gonna do something to change

the rest of our lives!

Let's go!

Stay with Daddy.

Later, we'll have a celebration.

- AI, where's Ray?

- You tell me.

He didn't show up for work.

He comes and goes as he pleases.

I can't believe this!

- I want to stay with Daddy.

- He's not here.

You have to come with me.

Get in the cab.

- I want to play.

- You'll play later.

- I want to play.

- It won't take long.

Ex cuse me, where is

the interview room?

Sorry.

I called you for two reasons.

One is to meet the girl

who wrote such a tremendous essay.

The other is to compliment you

on your strong effort.

It's down to seven girls.

You should be proud.

Thank you.

If you pick me,

I will not let you down.

I'll be everything you're looking for.

What I'm getting at...

...is we want to be very sure

that the person we give this to...

...will not only graduate,

but go to grad school...

...and not be someone who'll be...

Distracted?

- Yes.

- Not me.

If you give me the scholarship,

it's like giving me my master's.

Nothing gets in my way.

You probably need to get going.

We'll call when we know.

When will you know?

Two weeks.

Nice meeting you, Mrs. Hasek.

Don't make me go crazy for two weeks.

This means so much to me.

Mr. Price...

...l'm not gonna get this, am I?

I'm sorry, no.

N-O. No.

Daddy!

- Hey, big guy.

- Come say hello to Uncle Lizzard.

Look at you. Magazine.

Why do I look like this today?

Why do I look nice today?
