Sunlight Jr. Page #3

---

You made me miss the room.

Right here.

Oh!

Come on, now. Wait.

Come and get it, baby.

Here.

No, it's okay.

It's not for you.

It's for the baby.

Hmm?

Well, if you say it like that.

...cloud comfort

pillow-top bed.

Serenity awaits

at Boca Beach Club Spa,

near Clearwater Beach.

$5.53 is your change.

You sure you don't want a bag?

No, thanks.

Have a good one.

All right. Well, thanks

for shopping at Sunlight Jr.

Hey, Helen.

How are ya?

Melissa?

Yep?

This here is Helen Mccormick.

Oh.

Hi.

You the lady from

the college program?

Nice to meet you.

No, she's, uh,

gonna give you a drug test.

Oh. Didn't I do

one of them already?

Yes.

What, are you worried?

Hell no.

I don't do no drugs!

Come on.

Let's do this.

Hey, little man.

What can I do for ya?

A ball, huh?

Why, Richie.

What a pleasant surprise.

Yeah.

And how in the world

is my beautiful daughter?

She's good.

She's real good.

Yeah, too good to come

and see her mama?

No, I mean,

she's working all the time.

You know how that is.

Oh, yeah. At Sunset Jr.?

Yeah, "Sunlight. "

Whatever.

Put your cup in here, please.

Can you straighten up in here?

This place is kind of disgusting.

Yes, ma'am.

No! Nuh-uh! No!

How did you know that

family services wrote me up

for not having enough food

in my cupboard?

No!

I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh, don't be.

It's not their fault.

They think they're doing

their job,

but they know that foster care

doesn't give me enough money

to feed all these damn kids.

You stop it!

Did you get this

at the food bank?

Yes, ma'am.

Crap.

They're not giving out

any more peanut butter,

and that's all Jeral will eat.

I don't know how

I'm gonna feed that boy.

Are you stayin'?

Listen, I want to talk

to you about Justin.

He's been hassling

Melissa again.

He's been showing up at her job,

you know, sh*t like that.

Well, that's because

the restraining order's up.

Well, I'll just get my 9

and settle it

the old-fashioned way.

Boom!

You know his mama died.

Yeah? Sorry to hear that.

Sh*t happens.

Yeah, but I got to pay

Justin my rent now.

That makes him my landlord.

Whoa!

Oh!

You want a motorboat ride?

Yes.

All right.

Motorboat, motorboat

Goes so slow

Motorboat, motorboat

goes so fast

Motorboat, motorboat,

step on the gas!

Sam. Come here.

Listen, I want you

to go tell the other kids

we're gonna have noodles.

They can have noodles in butter

or cottage cheese or ketchup.

You find out what they want,

and you come tell Kathleen,

okay?

Yes, mom.

I win! I win!

Oh, that's great.

Why don't you take her over

there to play, Cody?

Kids... give them an inch,

they'll take a mile.

Yeah, I wouldn't know.

Hello.

Hey, pumpkin.

Ooh, look at you.

Oh, she likes you.

You want her?

Well, I'm about ready

to have my own, so...

Oh, well, good luck...

or congratulations...

I guess.

What about Zeke?

You like Zeke?

Yeah, I do.

It's cute.

I like "z" names.

Like...

Zara or Zora.

You like Zora?

Zora?

Mm-hmm.

You freakin' kidding me?

That sounds like a witch.

Or a stripper.

Or both... a stripper witch.

No.

My daughter's gonna be

an ass kicker like her mama.

Yeah.

I like old-fashioned names,

too, like...

Like Jamie.

Jamie.

She could be a boy or a girl.

Yeah, Jamie's all right.

It's not special, though.

What about, um...

What about Chester?

No?

How come you always think

of boys' names, hmm?

Are you gonna love this

baby if it's a girl?

Um, what do you think?

Do you think I wouldn't love

the baby if it was a girl?

Come on, lady.

Who are you talking to?

My dad didn't give

a flying f*** about me.

Well, I'm not your dad.

I'm your daddy.

Rich, they're sore.

Don't touch.

Ow!

Ow!

How come you're always so

horny all the time, huh?

You act like I never f*** you.

So, I was thinking,

so I can get all those extra

hours you were talking about,

can I work a couple extra shifts

a week for a while?

Well, funny

you should say that, Mel.

Starting next week, I'm gonna

have to put you on graveyard.

You can still work mornings

if you want to,

but I'm gonna have to switch

your shift over to graveyard.

What?

Where's Vivian?

She does graveyard.

She did graveyard.

Vivian quit.

Well, i can't do it.

I'm gonna get robbed or

raped or something.

Why can't you do it?

'Cause I'm the assistant manager,

and you're the cashier.

Now, you want to go train

to be an assistant manager,

then you tell me what to do.

Until then,

I'll tell you what to do.

We clear?

Why'd she quit?

I don't know.

Called me on the phone.

She said she didn't want

to work here no more.

Maybe she wants to be

a drug dealer.

Oh, yeah?

Well, maybe I'd rather sell

drugs than work the graveyard.

Good lord.

Hey, Kelly.

You want your smokes?

Yeah. Thanks, Mel.

So, can I bring Richie?

Suit yourself.

Just don't let me see him

behind the counter.

Are you gonna let me have

those extra shifts, or what?

Yeah, if you can handle them,

you can have them.

Thanks.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

What's wrong with you?!

That's her family!

So?

She don't work here no more.

Why should I have to look at 'em?

You know, you're an a**hole,

you know that?

Yeah, well, you best watch

your mouth, miss.

I can't do the graveyard.

You will do the graveyard,

or you won't have a job.

Now get back to work.

You have a customer.

Richie!

Yep?

You coming?

No, I'm good.

I'm good!

Got some work to do here.

27 cents is your change.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

How are you, sir?

Get a full house

and a monopoly.

Where the hell you going?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sick. Really sick.

Thank you for shopping

at Sunlight Jr.

You need a bag, sir?

Check it out.

20 bucks.

Where's the DVD player, Rich?

Come on, man. 20 bucks.

You can sell it for $40.

Are you kidding?

Dude, you can buy one

of these new for 30 bucks!

Come on, man.

All right.

Give me 10 bucks,

and you can sell it for $20.

You're...

come on, man! Give it a spin.

You're killing me, man.

Come on, man.

I'm your friend.

Just take it, man.

Take it.

You don't want it, nobody's

putting a gun to your head.

We got to wait till after hours.

Mick, I don't think, uh,

the clientele's gonna mind

watching a little pornography.

Yeah, and in walks the lady

from the liquor board,

and I'm shut down.

Come on, man.

I'm just messing with you.

Through the cables.

Appreciate it, man.

That machine's gonna

work like a gem.

Do you want to start a tab?

Yeah, sure.

Maybe I've forgotten

My name

Hey, Micky.

Tell you something, man?

Yes, sir.

Melissa, uh...

turns out,

she's gonna have a baby.

Congratulations, papa!

Yeah.

That's awesome, man!

Yeah!

How many kids you got?

Me?

I got four.

I got three boys

and one baby girl.

Wow.

And, uh, they're hellcats,

all of them.

A matter of fact,

my oldest boy Brian

just had a baby of his own.

Grandpa?

What? No.

Young man like yourself?

Not me. Unh-unh. Unh-unh.

My grandson's

gonna call me "captain. "
