Sex, Death and Bowling Page #4

Dad.

You got to see Rick.

Glenn says you haven't

been there in a week

and you just got to go.

You know, that's

rich... you telling me

I need to go see your brother.

Let me ask you something,

Sean... where the hell have you

been for the last six years?

Or for that matter, the

16 years before that?

I don't think there's much time, Dad.

Oh, really?

You don't?

You know, I don't know what

I'd do without you and Evie

breathing down my goddamn neck.

I was here when your

brother got the diagnosis.

And I have been here every

day since, helping his son...

your nephew... who you have

seen, what, maybe three times

his entire life?

It's not about me, Dad.

It's not?

It's not about me.

You did the same thing

when mom got sick.

Don't you dare bring

up your mother to me.

I held your mother's hand

as she drew her dying breath.

That's because Hal made you.

You would barely go near the room.

You broke her heart, Sean.

You never even came to see her.

You never came back,

after all she did for you.

I never came back because

you didn't want me to, Dad.

Come on.

Why don't you f***ing tell

the truth for a change?

You could barely look

at me after that night.

And the last two years,

I was here, I felt like...

The last two years?

Dear God, Sean, I knew what

you were long before that.

Go see, Rick, OK?

Go see your son.

What you do reflects on our family.

Hello?

Hey.

You

OK?

No.

Your brother?

Ah, no.

No.

It's, uh...

I don't know.

Sean, what's wrong?

Yeah, it's so complicated.

Yes, it is.

It shouldn't have to be.

Listen, Sean.

I can't do this right now.

Do what?

This.

I know that you're in pain,

and... We can't talk about it.

I can't be there with you

while you're going through it.

So what exactly am I meant to do?

I'm sorry

that was...

Um... I... I...

I've go to go.

Yeah.

OK.

Bye.

Bye.

Glenn.

John.

Hey, sweetie.

I'm so glad you came.

Oh, Rick.

Look who's here.

Oh.

The morphine.

So... Are Mercedes and

the girls with you.

Yeah.

Yeah, they're at my

mom's getting settled.

Oh, here.

Let me show you.

Oh, wow.

They are gorgeous like their mother.

And Manny?

Oh, no, no, no.

We don't call him Manny now.

No, it's Manuel.

I still can't believe you had him

your freshman year at college.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, when we went all the

way, we really want all the way.

You're stupid.

There.

There you go.

Hey, how's Eli?

Oh, he's holding up.

He's, um... This is from when

they went camping in August.

He looks just like Rick.

I think he looks just

like Sean at that age.

Yeah, I guess he does.

Hey, how's Sean?

Is he here?

Yeah, yeah.

He's at the store with Dick.

You know, I hope they're

getting along, you know.

Oh, I got to pee.

Oh, go.

Go.

Oh, sh*t.

Goddamn it.

Sean?

Kim?

Hi.

Oh my gosh.

You look gorgeous as ever.

And you haven't changed a bit.

Oh, please.

I saw you on the cover of some magazine.

You've made it to the big time.

Uh, yeah.

Well, uh... and you... last

I heard, you're a doctor.

Oh.

Yeah, technically.

I've got my MD.

And I got my Ph. D. Genetics.

This is my business now.

According to Kim, Tai Chi for

the Spiritually Challenged.

Girls, got to make a living.

From cloning to Tai

Chi... that's quite a jump.

Ah, yeah.

It's a long story.

I have some time.

You want to give me a hand?

Sure.

So.

You want to hear my theory?

Shoot.

I've decided that it's only

through our relationship

with others that we can

truly understand ourselves.

It's very new agey for a scientist.

Sean, I've been

surrounded by Petri dishes

for the last 20 years.

You're the best date I've

had, and that was 24 years ago.

Well, you, uh...

you want to dance?

I'd be lying if I said yes.

But since it

is a dance... OK.

I can't believe you invited me and not

one of thousands of girls

that have a crush on you.

Well, I had to pick between

someone who couldn't dance,

and someone who couldn't

string a sentence together.

Hey, little brother.

Look at John.

Hey!

Let Mercedes breathe, John.

Ow.

Uh, sorry.

He's killing me.

Go ahead and laugh but my

little theory has greatly

improved my life.

I mean, I've done all kinds of things

that I wouldn't have done with people.

Like Tai Chi.

Like Tai Chi.

I'm taking salsa.

I'm online dating.

I'd venture to say you're

a tall order for match. com.

Sky diving.

Out of planes?

Yes, exactly.

After you get past the initial

terror, when you're falling,

it's the most peace I've ever felt. OK.

Enough about me.

How's your family?

It's funny you should

ask about my family.

I think that's my nephew.

He's supposed to be in school right now.

I:

better...

Oh.

I promise, next time we talk about you.

You are a great girl.

Always have been.

Excuse me.

Well, the matinee actually

started 20 minutes ago.

No.

I'm actually looking for

a little boy, 11 years old,

dark hair, red hoodie, backback.

Eli.

Yes.

Eli.

Uh... He's

my nephew.

Oh, well.

He had an appointment with

their spiritual leader, Guru Sai.

It was originally for later

today but he moved it up.

Spiritual leader?

Our center is upstairs

above the theater.

I believe Eli has joined

Guru Sai for lunch.

Well, I believe I

would like to join them.

Ah.

There they are.

Have a beautiful day.

You too.

Namaste.

Likewise.

Uncle Sean, what are you doing here?

Well, that's funny.

I was just going to

ask you the same thing.

I... had an

appointment...

That you moved up.

Yes, I heard.

You're supposed to be in school.

Eli has graced me with

his company for lunch

while I help him with a school project.

It's for social studies.

Really?

Come, please.

Join us.

I think we should get going.

I'm not going back to school.

Today's lentil dal day and I doubt

if you've had any better, Mr.?

McAllister.

Sean.

Another bowl for Eli's uncle.

Come.

Very well.

I get the ball, right?

I... I...

turn.

And there he is.

Bam!

It was my fault we ran into each other.

I think he's still seeing birds.

Tweet, tweet, tweet.

You ran the wrong play.

Hey, guys.

Sorry.

I'm just going to sneak in

here and give him his meds.

OK?

Yeah, we should, uh, probably go.

No!

No, you don't have to leave.

I mean, we're having

such... such a nice time.

Hey, it's OK.

I... uh, I could

come back tomorrow.

What time's good?

Anytime is good.

Bye.

See you, hon.

Bye, sweetie.

Ah, thank you.

We'll see you.

Love you, honey.

Bye.

Bye.

Thanks.

Call you tomorrow?

Yes.

Great.

OK.

Perfect.

Ana.

Yeah?

Can I talk to you

over here for a minute?

Sure, what's up?

You couldn't have waited one minute.

Glenn, we have to

stay ahead of the pain,

or it's going to get

really bad, really fast.

He was fine.

He was not in pain.

He was having a good

time with his friends.

He was enjoying them.

I know, I understand.

But your husband's a really stoic guy,

and he doesn't want you

to know if he's in pain.

But I can assure you, he is.

And keeping him Medicated
