Snow Angels Page #3

You can watch Tara there.

I'll drive you home.

I like her to sleep in her own bed

once in a while.

I don't want to leave in this cold.

Yes, you do. Come on.

Daddy stepped in the doggy doo-doo.

Yeah, it's not that funny.

Don't push me.

- You don't wanna be pushed?

- Don't push me. No.

- What do you want?

- Mommy.

Okay, just take, here, just take it,

take it easy. We're gonna find Mommy.

We're gonna find Mommy. Pudgy bear.

Pudgy, pudgy bear.

- Pudgy, pudgy bear.

Pudgy-wudgy b...

- You're a Pudgy-wudgy-wudgy bear.

Pudgy-pudgy-pudgy bear.

Okay, you knock.

Go ahead.

Yeah, there you go.

You kids came in the back.

So cold out there.

We went for a walk down

by the pond. Saw the ducks. It was fun.

- Little Miss Independence.

It's good to see you here, May.

Your wife kidnapped me.

Thinks I'm starving to death.

- She must be blind.

What does she know?

- I was wondering...

- What is this all over her?

Oh, that's just some banana.

I think she wandered off and...

What do you mean "she wandered off"?

Well, I was talking to Rafe and I told her

to stay by in the truck with Bomber.

Bomber's your dog, Glenn.

Tara's not a dog, she's a child.

You don't just leave your kid in the car.

Annie, you gotta go to work.

We're eating early.

Making tuna noodle casserole.

There's extra if you'd like to stay, Glenn.

Yeah. No, I...

Yeah.

Arthur, it's Saturday night.

You gotta quit this job

before you get sucked in.

- You should enjoy high school.

- Oh, no, work is fun.

No, it's not.

Shouldn't you be out on a date

or something?

- Should I?

- Well, I thought you'd have a girlfriend.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, you know, you're cute.

Glad you think so.

Don't give me that.

Haven't the girls caught on yet?

Ever tell your mom about that time

you busted me on the counter with Glenn?

- When you were supposed to be in bed.

- That was awesome.

I was like, "What are you guys doing?"

I totally used to give you baths.

We had some good times

though, right?

For the most part.

Sometimes you were a little obnoxious.

- I'm sorry.

- It's too late.

No more bedtime stories?

Nuh-uh. You're on your own.

Oh, my God, I am waiting on

the cutest family of dwarfs.

- That sucks.

I just wanna take them home.

Oh, boy. Am I interrupting

an intimate, tender moment?

No. We were just talking.

Is that medieval birthday party

still out there?

Yeah, gosh, I hate watching fake wizards

and barbarian nerds eat Chinese food.

It's so disgusting. Oh, my God,

you better get a haircut.

Or no one's gonna wanna adopt your ass.

Not even Fannie's Annie over there,

you know what I'm saying?

Two and two's 22, you know?

Did she get you?

Hey, Glenn's here.

God.

- Oh my God, you were looking at her ass.

- No, I wasn't.

You were.

You were checking her ass out.

It's fine. I'm not gonna tell her.

Look it, Annie is hot.

She's really hot, man.

Wish she wasn't having so many problems,

you know what I'm saying?

I was driving by,

and I thought I'd say hello.

- I'm working.

- Cool, I know. I just...

I just, I was wondering if you wanted

to go out and get dinner.

Glenn, I'm working.

Well, you know, me too.

Yeah. I got a new job.

- You got a job?

- Yeah, I wanted to tell you about it.

That's kind of why I thought

we should go out. To celebrate.

Not tonight, no, not now,

but like tomorrow night, or sometime.

Just dinner. I think there's some things

we should talk about.

- Like what?

- You know...

I don't wanna talk about it here,

with this guy, Rob or whatever.

Wait, so you got a job?

- Yeah.

- I mean, are you working?

It's not like Rafe just hooked you up

at the carpet warehouse or something?

Well, actually, yeah.

You know, it's not amazing,

Annie, but I'm trying, you know?

It's temporary. We'll see what I can get...

I know. I'm sorry. I ju...

I didn't mean it that way.

I'm really happy for you.

Yeah, I can tell it's a thrill.

You're having a real party.

You know, my mom blames me

for our separation.

You know, I'm not as much of a screw-up

as you think I am.

You used to love that little dance I'd do.

Yeah, things changed, Glenn, a little bit.

Yeah. Well, you know...

Hey, why don't you tell me all about

all those amazing changes...

...tomorrow night or sometime,

over some spaghetti and meatballs?

Glenn, you win, whatever.

You call that a kick? Come on.

I really like the pencil that you gave me.

Isn't it cool?

It's a wonderful gift.

What's that mean?

Lmportance of fungus.

Important in the ecosystem

as decomposers.

"Feel like a rock star. Have fun. Travel. "

Nope.

"Compassionate, energetic, creative. "

No.

These are good.

These are good for children.

You got a lot of durability here

with the...

A lot more fiber density in your Berbers.

And, it depends, what are you looking for?

Something more plush, not the Berber.

Okay. Do you have any children?

Or anything else, or...

- Furry, furry children.

- Say again?

- Furry children.

- Furry children.

So you got a hamster, guinea pig?

- Four dogs.

- Four dogs? Whoa.

How about sort of a beige, greenish,

sort of semi-Berber...

...semi-plush? What about that?

Your dog can bounce around...

...but you can be comfortable. Now,

you got a dog pooping around on that...

...you're gonna be fine.

But I think with the...

We're looking more for leakage

than the other.

I see what you're saying.

Yeah, yeah, well, you say leakage?

Are you all Christians? No?

Christians?

This is a slang dictionary?

Yeah.

Let's look up "blowj*b. " Here it is.

"Fellatio, fellator, or fellatrix. "

Fellatrix, I like that.

- Or, "An unpleasant... "

- Shh.

Wait. She was looking.

It can also be

"an unpleasant experience or a situation. "

- I beg to differ.

- I don't think so.

I very much beg to differ on that one.

Is that what you're wearing?

It's not a date, Mom.

I'd think you'd be happy for him.

He finally got a job.

Oh, big deal.

I have a job, and I take care of Tara.

Just be nice this once.

I'm always nice. It's just enough trouble

trying to navigate my own life...

...without worrying if poor fragile Glenn's

gonna try and kill himself again.

Where are you going?

I'm just going out for a little bit.

Grammy's gonna sleep over, okay?

I wanna go. I wanna see Daddy.

No, honey.

Mommy has to go out on her own.

You can stay here with Grammy.

- Oh.

- Tara. Don't touch, okay?

Okay.

Damn it, Tara! How many times

do I have to tell you...

...not to play with my stuff?

Come on! Get out of here!

Calm down, it's just a spill.

My whole life's a f***ing spill!

- Tough day?

- Yeah. I'm just stressed.

- My brain's all over the place.

- Don't be stressed.

Okay.

Tara had a fit tonight, wanted to come.

Just, it was a tough day.

I know how that can get.

She does that to me all the time.

- "I want Mommy, I want Mommy. "

- Yeah.

So you're mad at her, huh?

Yeah. I mean, more at myself.

You know how I can get.

I just...

- I get frustrated and I lose it.
