Snow Angels Page #2

Would you like to have

your picture taken?

- I'm finishing my picture.

- Okay. Where would you like to go?

- Marsden Pond? You love the pond.

- No!

- Here, come on, let's go.

She's cranky...

...because of her ear infection.

- No.

All right, I'm just gonna

take a little breather here.

Come on, pumpkin.

Go have fun with Daddy, okay?

You can take Stinky Bear.

All right, I'll see you later. Love you.

Pudgy Bear, sit down right there.

Yeah.

You been doing okay?

Yeah, I'm good. I'm, you know, sure.

I'm perfect.

Okay, well, just make sure

she's buckled in there.

Yeah. Hey, let's buckle you in. Come on.

Buckle myself in.

- You wanna bring her home around 5:00?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I still got a key,

so if you're not here I'll just...

Oh, well, you know, actually we had

the locks changed a few weeks ago.

- So your key probably won't work.

- Who's "we"?

Me.

I did.

Okay. Cool beans.

- Hey, say goodbye. Goodbye. Okay.

See you later. Love you. Bye.

See you later. Let's go.

Oh, my goodness. Snoring.

- You having fun?

- Yeah.

How's that? Is that better?

Now it's not so bright, huh?

- No.

- You look like a helicopter pilot, in Vietnam.

You look like that... You look, you know,

you look like Tom Cruise.

Thanks.

If Tom Cruise was a little girly-girly,

he would look like you.

A little girly?

But now he's a big boy.

He is a big boy.

There's a lot of junk food

on this list, Mom.

Doctors don't tell you to watch

that for no reason.

All the food in the fridge tastes like sh*t.

This should be enough money

to cover a few substitute meals.

If it isn't, you can get rid of the cookies.

I like them in the afternoon

with my coffee.

Especially this time of year,

but I don't absolutely have to have them.

Ditch the cookies.

When will you be back?

I got a bunch of errands.

- How's Glenn?

- Fine.

- Say hello to him for me.

- I do, Mom, all the time.

You know what I wish?

Mom, forget it.

I just wish the two of you were happy.

That's all I'm gonna say.

I'm leaving.

I love you.

It's just bullshit.

Every corner looks the same now.

Every city is becoming

one beige strip-mall.

Nobody cares about choices or character...

Hey, Arthur.

- Hi.

- Tell Lila to calm down.

- I'm just freaked out.

Lily told me they're putting

fast food in the cafeteria.

- That makes me wanna throw up.

- Yeah, that's...

That's kind of... I hate throw-up.

I like your shoes.

What's wrong with them?

Dude, I gotta tell you

about what went down last night.

It was crazy.

- What?

I can't tell you here.

Too many kids, remind me later.

Okay.

So, your dad move out today?

Yeah.

- Swipe any of his pornos before he left?

- Only the Chinese one.

I don't know why.

It's not like I'm gonna watch it.

You didn't take

The vagina Threat.

That's not what it's called,

it's called Triple P*ssy...

Whatever. Okay, okay. That's disgusting.

I gotta take a dump.

F***.

Now, what's up with those two sluts

that are obsessed with you?

They're Lila and Lily.

They transferred from B.H. Best...

- Do you think he's cute?

B.T. Best.

- A couple weeks ago. Sisters.

- Can you say that in Spanish?

Arthur?

Yeah.

Hey.

You like that?

What do you think of daddy's belt?

That's a very big belly.

Yeah, that's when Daddy used to drink

that beer. That's nasty.

Ugh!

- Ugh.

- I don't like beer.

- I don't like it anymore either.

Mommy...

You tell your mommy,

Daddy's not drinking beer anymore.

You have great teeth.

Show me more of them.

- Show me your cheese mouth.

Look at my teeth.

Don't you want that...?

That's Daddy's dingle berry. Don't do that.

You two make a lovely family.

- Can you take care of this blemish I have?

I can take it off.

- Don't worry.

- I want this to be perfect.

- Come on, Tara.

Smile, please.

Oh, God, in the name of Jesus Christ,

bless this food we are about to eat...

...so that we may ask

that all our actions and intentions...

...be directed to your praise and spirit,

Father God, Lord God...

...and our own good, Father God.

And the good of those with whom

we come in contact.

We love you, Father God.

We magnify you, Jesus.

Blessed is he who comes

in the name of the Lord.

You peeking?

Hosanna in the highest. High-five!

Did you change your shampoo?

Mm-hm.

Why?

- You don't like it?

- No, I thought we talked about this.

- I like it.

- Good.

I like it.

How's Barb?

Come again?

How's it going with you and Barb?

Catch the ball.

Can we just not talk about Barb? I'd like

to not think about my wife right now.

Okay. I'm sorry.

How'd he get rolled?

It's been really nice, I don't know why

I always have to over-analyze everything.

Because you're like...

- I don't know what it is, you just gotta...

- Just more for you.

It's the journey.

- You know the old saying?

- No.

"Yesterday's history,

tomorrow's a mystery...

...today is a gift,

that's why they call it the present. "

And, yes, I read that on a pamphlet.

What are these underpants?

What do you think of the bowling balls

in the marble bag?

Arthur. Hey, look. The signs are true.

Smell. What do you think it smells like?

- Paint.

- Yeah.

Don't wash it off.

You could keep it as perfume.

Oh, yeah?

What class are you heading to?

Photography.

I signed up to take yearbook photos

as an art credit.

I gotta get my camera fixed, though.

What about you?

Um, history.

Who's that guy that was talking about me

in Spanish class?

That's just Warren.

He's a shitty kisser, man.

And I'm just kidding.

It's not like I know.

Yeah, sure.

I think he's a weirdo.

Here.

- What's this?

- It's a pencil.

Present. Here.

In case you need to write anything down

in geography class.

It's photography.

Or chew something,

write something down, erase something.

You never know.

Rafe, how you doing? Hey, man.

- Mate. Good to see you.

I just wanted to come by,

Tara's in the truck, I gotta split...

...but I wanted to tell you I'm

super pumped.

- I wanna know what time you want me.

- Eight a. m. I was reading...

Eight a. M? I'll be here quarter to eight.

I'm pumped.

I was reading some Matthew today.

This is about the parable of the lost sheep.

- Really?

- Yep. And you know what?

- It reminded me a little of you, mate.

- Oh, yeah, well.

Lost to the fold, you know?

Because this is what Christ said, right?

You're lost to the fold,

but you've got to understand...

...the Lord is always with you.

I feel the Holy Spirit

coming through me right now.

- That's what He's saying.

- I'm telling you.

He's saying you can be lost,

but you can be found.

I feel like it. It's happening right now.

Tara's waiting for me in the truck...

How was the market?

Crowded.

You never lose that smell, do you?

Nasty cigarettes.

Mom, do you have bread?

You didn't put it on the list,

I would have gotten it.

It's all right.

- Did you eat?

- Nope.

- Mom, you gotta eat.

- I eat. I eat all the time.

Mom, come home with me.

I'll make you something.
