Spring Forward Page #8

Go away. You don't know me.

Just leave me alone.

- I deserve to die!

- No, you don't, ma'am.

Yes, I do. My beautiful leather coat.

My whole life, I wanted one. Look at it!

It looks fine to me.

It isn't!

It's burned, look!

Look at it!

That's nothing. A little patch, you can cover...

- Nothing?

- It's gonna be okay.

This is God's punishment for smoking.

My husband bought me this coat,

because I said that I quit smoking.

My whole life, I wanted a leather coat. Look at it!

- I think your husband will understand.

- He won't. He's an a**hole.

This is all so f***ed. You don't get it?

- Give me the light.

- She's running towards the pond.

No, darling.

Mom's gonna be all right.

It's okay. Talk to me. Come on.

Wait!

Sh*t!

Get off me!

Let me die!

- Let me go.

- It's okay.

- Let me die.

- It's okay.

- God's punishing me.

- No, he isn't.

- Yes, he is.

- He wouldn't do that.

Wait!

Don't go up the hill!

What about Hope?

Hope, my angel.

- My angel.

- That's right.

She's your angel. God sent her. You know that!

Why would God send me a child

with this a**hole?

- He looks right through me.

- You deserve her. Look how smart she is.

She'd do anything for you.

What's a jacket?

You can't abandon her over a jacket.

God would never forgive that.

Her blaming herself her whole life,

he'd never forgive that.

Stay there, okay?

Sh*t.

My husband hits me.

Why does God let him do it?

That's a sign. Like the angel. Maybe it's...

It's a sign it's time to leave him.

To say, "F*** you," do without him.

You know?

He doesn't deserve you. God knows that.

Leave your husband.

Not Hope.

Not your angel.

How do you know all this?

You Catholic?

No.

Where are you getting all this from?

I don't know.

Are you cold?

So cold.

I know. Here, take my coat.

People...

They look at you like you're some piece of sh*t.

I know.

Like you don't matter.

I know.

Like you don't belong here.

I know.

Like you're nothing.

You're not nothing.

I got cake.

Here's Murph. I'll see you guys later.

- Nothing like going out with a bang, huh?

- Yeah.

What was the problem?

Her husband's a f***ing jerk.

A f***ing jerk?

Goodbye, fair workplace.

Don't, okay?

I gotta.

Okay, then.

- You're a great guy.

- Shut up.

You mean a lot to me, you know.

F*** you.

You know what I mean.

I know.

I got you something.

Sort of a retirement thing.

What is it?

I got it in one of those...

...little bead shops.

They have these little...

...pot signs and crystals and peace signs.

- It's a hand?

- It's a Muslim sign.

It's called the "Hand of Fatima."

What's it stand for?

- I don't know.

- Muslim?

I just liked the way it looked,

an open hand, sort of like...

...shaking hands.

Kind of...

You gave me a helping hand.

Thanks.

No.

Thank you.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Surprise!

- Oh, come on.

- Happy retirement!
