Sticky Notes Page #4

I'm f***ing in

there having chemo!

For five f***ing hours!

Tell me not to live

my f***ing life...

-Daddy!

Daddy!

-What?

What? What?

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

- The tooth fairy

didn't like me.

-What?

-I lost a tooth so I

put it under my pillow.

-Wait- wait, wait, wait,

wait- wait a minute-

You lost a tooth?

Why didn't you tell me?

-Why didn't the tooth

fairy give me money?

-Well maybe last night

was her night off.

-No.

-Well maybe a lot of kids lost a

tooth yesterday and- you know,

she couldn't get to

everybody's house on time.

That's all.

-But you said that when you lose

a tooth you put it under your

pillow and the tooth fairy comes

to your room and takes it and

gives it to all the little

babies who don't have teeth yet.

-Yeah, I did say that...

Alright.

I'm going to level

with you, kid.

Every time...

Every time a kid puts a

tooth under the pillow,

their mom or their dad - they

come in the room at night

and they exchange- they

swap the tooth for money.

-What?

-Do you- it's- it's- Do you

remember like how the Wizard

of Oz was really this little

old man behind the curtain?

-I never saw it.

-We never watched

The Wizard of Oz?!

Yes we-- no?

Oh, well I'm slipping.

Do you- I know you've seen

this one; Do you know how

From Russia With Love,

Tatiana Romanova, right?

She meets James in Istanbul to

return the Lektor to England

and only to find out the

whole thing was a trap.

It's like that.

That's how it is.

The tooth fairy.

Life.

Marriage.

You think something is one

way only to learn that it's

something entirely different.

Do you understand

what I'm saying?

It's just- you do or you don't?

I know something that

you're going to understand.

I don't know how many teeth

you've lost, but this...

this should cover it.

-Don't you know the rule about

not calling girls who

sleep with you the

first night you meet them?

-Girl, you know what

they say about rules.

-What?

That they're made to be broken?

-Oh yeah.

So how are ya?

-Oh, I'm fine.

-How's your dad?

-Uh- Still very much himself.

-Good.

Good.

-Yeah.

-Uh...

I just wanted to say that, uh...

I'm always around.

You know, if you ever want to

shoot the sh*t of just-

you know...

I'm here for you.

-Hey Bryan, I- I have to go.

-Hey, can you see the moon?

-Um...Uh yes.

Yeah, I can see it.

-You see that halo?

-No.

No halo.

-I always find that funny.

That two people can be looking

at the same sky on the same

night and see two different

versions of the same thing.

- Hey Bryan?

- Yeah?

-Thanks for calling.

-Hey Athena?

Hang in there.

-Okay.

Goodnight.

-I'm here to pick up my

father, Jack Morehead.

-Can you spell the

last name, please?

- M-O-R-E-H-E-A-D.

-Dr. Halper, please come

to the nurses station.

Dr. Halper, to the

nurse's station please.

-The doctor will

be right with you.

-Hey.

What do you mean by

"an adverse reaction?"

The Chemo is supposed to

make him better, not worse!

-Some people get worse

before they get better.

Chemo is a shock to the system.

Different systems handle

that shock very differently.

-Yeah?

Well how did his handle it?

-Not well.

He was disoriented, very

irritable, he started cursing...

-He's always like that.

-He pulled the

I.V. out of his arm

and held it to

a nurse's neck.

Does he always do that?

We sedated him and then

his blood pressure

dropped considerably.

We just want to take

precautions, run a few tests,

make sure everything checks out.

Trust me.

He'll be out in two

days, maybe three.

-Trust me.

You'll want him out after two.

-Close out or keep it open?

-Keep it open.

-This seat taken?

-It's all yours.

-You know, I've never

been good at playing it cool or

whatever so um- I'm just

going to go right ahead and

tell you why I'm here.

-What, you mean to tell me

you're not a Jehovah's Witness?

What'dya say your name was?

-Let's not task ourselves with

the silly chore of trying to

remember each other's name now.

-So you're not going

to tell me your name?

-I prefer we go to a motel.

Or the bathroom's fine.

Then say our goodbyes

and be on our merry way.

Aren't musicians used to meeting

girls they'll never have

to see or talk to again?

-Listen darling, I'm sorry

but I'm just going to

have to politely decline.

-I gotta friend who could

get you some morphine.

You could buy a boat and we

could all sail around the world

til the pain got too bad.

-You know it's not the

cancer that landed me here,

it's the Chemo.

That's what got me.

-The medical profession ain't

nothing but a bunch of a**holes

who do whatever the insurance

companies tell them to do.

-Hit me.

-No, no.

With this.

-Oh Jacky, you

better watch yo-self.

You'z in the hospital.

-Come here and slap my ass.

Ah look what the cat dragged in!

-Hello Ath-ena.

- Hello Ath-ena.

- Hello Seashell.

I'm not an invalid.

- Just say thank you.

- No.

-Shhhh!

This is the best part.

- Hey, the Spy Who Loved Me?

- Yep.

Who plays James Bond in this?

Please.

Roger Moore.

- Duh!

- Yeah, yeah.

That was too easy.

Everybody knows that.

Alright, who played Agent XXX?

-Barbara...

-Barbara Bach.

-Very good!

Now what kind of

gun was she using?

-Which one?

-In the last scene

against James.

What was the gun that she had?

-Oooh, that's a hard one.

Started with a "W"...

- The...

- The Walther PPK.

That's my girl!

What a good girl.

Only girl in her class who

could identify firearms.

-I can't wait to taste something

other than tasteless dinner

rolls and Jell-O the

texture of butter.

It's horrible.

-Hey, hey, hey!

Watch it! Watch it!

I got cancer here!

I want the cancer

to get me, not you!

If you want everyone to know

you have a small johnson...

- Drive that car!

-Very good!

-Dad, there's something I

need to talk to you about...

-Dad?

Wow, I've been promoted.

-Daddy, listen.

I got a call-

And there's something that

I want to talk to you-

-Wait there!

Wait there!

-Jack, I swear I'll be back.

I swear I'll be back.

Jack, this is my life...

This is my life, Jack...

-Daddy, can I drive?

-No. No.

I just got out of the hospital.

I'm driving.

-Like I was saying, Dad.

I'm- There's something

that I really want

to talk to you about-

-Athena, I just

got out of the hospital.

So whatever it is can it wait?

Yeah. Sure.

-Hey, time for your vitamins.

-My throat hurts too much.

I can't swallow.

-You want some more ice chips?

-Pacifier.

-What?

-I want you to go to the

drugstore and get me a pacifier.

-Are you serious?

-Go on.

-Oh.

Okay.

Wait- Did you take

my sunglasses?

Oh... thank you.

I don't remember putting

them up there like that.

-Excuse me, ma'am.

Can I help you find something?

-Uh yeah.

Yeah.

I'm looking for a pacifier.

-Alright.

How old is your baby?

-Sixty.

- Here you go.

- Wait, in a minute.

I gotta use the john.

- Oh. Okay.

-Just- just leave me be, Athena.

-Fine.

-Don't just stand
