Running on Empty Dreams Page #5

You see that?

That's the only family

vacation we ever had.

I can't work for someone

else the rest of my life,

and I understand that now.

I'm going to own my own business.

I'm the one you have to believe in.

Dream with me again.

She what?

I woke up this

morning, she was gone.

I don't find anything

funny about this, Jane.

You sure you haven't seen her?

No, I haven't.

Um, excuse me.

She having an affair, huh?

Some f***in' rich bastard?

Some pipe dreamin' artist?

Some sh*t like that?

Is that what you're worried about?

An artist?

God, you're...

No, no. She's not with an arist,

and even if she was with an artist,

he's probably gay and can't f*** her

because he's gay and he

wouldn't want to f*** her.

No, she's not here.

Is there anything else you need?

Sh*t. F***.

Oh, my God.

Hey, buddy.

Oh, my God, where were you?

I was so worried.

Come with me.

We can start our whole life over.

Listen, I got a little place.

It's not much, but I've been waiting tables

at this restaurant,

and it's just going to have to do

until I can sell my scripts.

Wait a second.

What are you talking about?

Are you hearing yourself?

I love you.

Whoa, you're saying

you want to be with me?

I mean, just me?

Yeah.

What do you say?

Come with me.

Sydney, are you okay?

It's okay.

I just haven't been taking my meds,

so don't worry.

I feel alive again, babe.

I feel like a little girl

who still believes in

Santa Claus and miracles.

F***ing ho, ho, ho.

Where the f*** do

you keep coming from, huh?

I'm just trying to stop your ass

from going down the same path that I did.

Are you kidding me?

Have you looked in the mirror?

You're the f***ing poster child

for the lesbian coalition.

I admit.

I've probably f***ed enough

beautiful ladies in my life,

but that's not the point.

Oh yeah? What is your point?

I don't do that sh*t anymore.

Oh, come on.

Yeah, I was married to a woman before.

I did the whole falling in love thing.

I really loved her though.

We lived up in Colorado

and, oh man, it was cold.

I'm sorry, did I ask

you for your life story?

Every morning, she'd

go out to get the paper.

She'd put my coat on.

I could smell her perfume all day long.

Oh, and what happened?

She set me free.

You mean she left your ass.

That's irrelevant.

She left her ass.

I left her, okay?

Hey!

Something was missing from my life.

Couldn't put my finger on it.

Even though I loved Carla,

something was just f***ing missing.

I came to know Jesus.

He kinda makes you wanna

be a better person.

Great. F***ing Christian

coalition in my backyard.

I wasn't livin' right.

Taking a married woman from her husband.

Oh, so what?

This is your redemption, Geri?

You save me and you get even with God?

I'm not here for me.

There's a f***in' price

you pay for your lives.

You guys realize that?

You can't serve God

and do whatever the f*** you want.

Oh, so I'm not good enough now?

I'm not saying that.

I'm saying stop f***in' up!

Sh*t, you're married, Sydney.

As much as I hate to admit it,

God actually thinks it makes sense

for a man and woman to be together.

I don't know why, but he does.

You've gotta be kidding me.

So, you're saying you

f***in' some Joe Blow now?

Hell, no!

I'm not into men.

I'm just by myself.

Oh, so you choose to be lonely.

I'm not lonely!

Me and Jesus are like this.

He's all I ever need.

I'm outta here.

The only thing either of you wanted

in the first place was love,

and you don't think God is big enough

to provide that for you,

the way He wants to?

You know, I don't understand

why do you care so much about me, huh?

Just come to one

church service with me.

If God isn't as good as I say He is,

you can call me a f***in' liar,

and I'll never come around you guys again.

Fine. One.

Got it? Just one.

Deal.

Breathe.

Feel like I just got out of jail.

Feel like I've

been let out of a cage.

Feel like I just have arrived.

Breathe, now is the time.

Wow, you came back.

Of course I did.

I never left.

If this was your one chance to be happy,

wouldn't you want to see

what it looks like?

Just let me breathe.

I feel liberated, I feel strong.

Breathe. God, it's

been so f***ing long.

Breathe. Feel like

I just have come home.

Breathe, just let me breathe.

It's been too long,

I had to leave, that's why I'm here.

Let me breathe. Let me breathe.

Hey.

Hey, baby.

What's up?

Whatcha doin'?

Wanna do one?

Yeah, I'd love to.

These are great.

Thank you.

Aww, Basketball babe.

This one needs something, texture.

Do you wanna do it?

Yeah.

Aah!

Okay, great.

So you got her shirt back.

What else do you want from us?

Us?

US!?

Corey, I don't know what to...

Jesus Christ, you're

wearing her sports bra.

Look, she's going

to be home any minute.

Just please, please.

Home?

Is your dick bigger than mine, huh?

Is that why, why you're the winner?

Apparently, you

don't need one to win.

Oh, f*** you!

F*** you!

My wife was naive. You preyed on that sh*t.

Naive?

You're an arrogant bastard!

You just don't get it, do you?

You don't see it.

See what?

SEE WHAT? What is it that I don't see!?

That she's in love!

No, no. She's not in love.

You hear me?

You're a goddam liar!

No, f*** you, Corey.

I'm the one who saved your

wife that night in the street.

We were strangers before that,

and I know now, and I knew right then

that there are no coincidences in life,

just fate, as it happens,

and I had to see if she

was gonna come back to me

on her own, and she did,

and she saw me for, for me.

Oh, my God.

Sydney.

Sydney.

Sydney, wait.

Sydney, I was gonna tell you.

What are you doing?

I want my son.

Jane, this is between Corey and I.

Get inside.

That is OUR son!

And is what, is the same

son that you never see

because you're always working.

That's not fair.

I put a roof over his head,

put food in his mouth.

Matt, let's go!

Stop it!

Do you really want him to see

us doing this right here?

No, I don't want him to see this.

Just like I don't want

him to see his mother

with some welfare b*tch from next door.

You think for a second I'm

not fightin' you for Matt,

you have another thing

coming, you got that?

What are you trying to prove?

Nothing, Corey!

Okay, nothing!

Are you moving towards something

or running away from something?

You know what, Corey?

If you would've asked me that months ago,

I wouldn't have known the answer.

But I think you know the

answer and it scares you.

Well, you know what? It scared me too.

Good morning.

Today, I want to talk to you about

wanting something from God.

I said, wanting something from God.

You see, you can pray

and ask for anything you want and get it,

as long as it lines up

with the word of God.

You want joy, peace, a great marriage?

Ask God and allow Him to order your steps

and watch what happens.

Ha-ha. Oh, come on, now.

You see, the effectual fervent prayer

of a righteous man availeth much.

Oh, ya'll don't know what
