Sunshine Cleaning Page #6

Thank you for everything.

Are you coming to my party?

We're having Oscar's birthday party

at Hinkle's on Saturday.

It'd be great if you came.

Sounds like a blast.

Yes!

I know what you're thinking, Oscar,

but the ones we saw at the store

were full of gimmicks.

They didn't have the heft

that these have.

They didn't have the weight.

There's no history.

Wow, is that an old Zeiss?

Yeah.

Some classic binoculars

you got there.

Cool.

Sorry I'm late.

Oh, look at you.

- Hi, Dad.

- Hi, dear.

Where are you going?

Get it together.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I know that you think

that I ruined everything

and that I f***ed up really huge,

and I'm sorry, okay?

You know what I don't get, Norah?

It's that I ask you to do one thing.

I can't even ask you to do one thing

without you messing it up.

I mean, Jesus, Norah, it's not like

I don't have enough

to deal with in my own life, but now

I have to take care of you on top of it,

and I can't.

It's too much. I can't do it.

I'm not asking you to.

This business was

everything to me, Norah.

Well, why weren't you there?

I was going to be there.

I told you I was gonna be there.

You couldn't just wait

to burn the house down?

Yeah, but you weren't there

and I couldn't...

I couldn't do it by myself.

I just...

I should have been there.

I know.

But...

I just...

I really wanted to go

to that baby shower.

So stupid.

I just didn't want those girls

looking at me like I was just a maid.

You're better than them, Rose.

What are you gonna do now?

I don't know.

They said that I could have

my old job back if I wanted.

I can put in a good word for you.

I don't need you

to take care of me anymore.

It's not your job. It never was.

Well, somebody had to take care

of you, Norah.

You know what I remember

about her funeral?

My shoes.

They were too small

and my feet hurt.

That's what I remember.

You know what I remember?

You wouldn't take your shoes off

after that.

You wore them forever.

It drove me crazy.

I'm still mad at you.

- All right.

- Like, really mad at you.

Okay.

I hear you make model airplanes.

Yeah.

Is there any money in that?

No, not really.

Hey, what did you get?

Winston gave it to me.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You can open my present.

Okay.

So the guy said that if you're careful

they'll last a whole month.

- So you can't shower and sh*t.

- That's good.

Now these are guaranteed to make you

look like a total badass.

What does that say?

"Lil Bastard."

Custom-made.

It's cool, Norah.

I'm thinking of taking a road trip.

- Where?

- How?

In the van.

- No, I'm selling the van.

- What?

Don't sell the van.

I can't afford the payments,

guys, come on.

- Just wait a while.

- Give me a break, please.

It's your birthday today,

happy birthday

It's your birthday

with Hinkle's Fun Center Crew

So happy birthday to you,

happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Oscar.

- Pick up, pick up, pick up.

- Hello.

Norah, turn on the TV, channel 65.

I probably shouldn't,

but what have you got for sweets?

Oh, I recommend the pecan pie.

All right.

One pecan pie coming up.

Hello.

Mom?

Today was Oscar's eighth birthday.

And we did a big thing for him

at Hinkle's.

And Winston came.

After dinner Norah and Oscar

played centipede

and put ASS as their initials

and got in big trouble by the manager.

I don't know

if you're in heaven or not,

but I know that you're not here.

And that is too bad for you,

because you really missed out.

You've missed out

on some really great stuff.

I hope you can hear me.

- Hi, Dad.

- Hi.

I gotta talk to you.

Okay.

I have to move in

with you and Oscar for a while.

- Why?

- Just temporarily,

just until I get my own place.

You lost the house.

- No.

- Dad, how could you lose the house?

I didn't lose the house.

I sold the house.

I had a very good business opportunity

and I took it.

I hope it's not shrimp.

No, it's not. It's nothing fly-by-night.

I have a partner.

I have a really good partner

who knows the ropes

and I'm gonna be working

under them.

Dad.

"Since 1963"?

Yeah, it gives us a sense of stability.

People like that.

But it's a lie.

It's a business lie.

It's different from a life lie.

Okay.

I can live with that.

You'll be the boss.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

All right.

When I die and they

lay me to rest.

Gonna go to the place

that's the best

When I lay me down to die

Goin' up to the spirit in the sky

Goin' up

to the spirit in the sky

That's where I'm gonna go

when I die

When I die and they lay me to rest

I'm gonna go to the place

that's the best...

Ooh.

You'll get used to it.

Prepare yourself.

You know it's a must

Gotta have a friend in Jesus

So you know that when you die

He's gonna recommend you

To the spirit in the sky

Gonna recommend you

To the spirit in the sky

That's where you're gonna go

When you die

When you die

and they lay you to rest

You're gonna go to the place

That's the best

Never been a sinner

I never sinned

I've got a friend in Jesus

So you know

That when I die

He's gonna set me up

With the spirit in the sky

Oh, set me up

with the spirit in the sky

That's where I'm gonna go

When I die

When I die

and they lay me to rest

I'm gonna go to the place

That's the best

Go to the place that's the best.
