Take Me Home Page #3

I have $83 to my name.

I thought you were

a therapist.

I was just... playing around.

So you're... you're poor?

No, you're poor.

I have $83.

Fine.

Whatever.

Isn't there something

you want to ask me?

No.

- Well, can we?

- Can we what?

Don't be obtuse.

You know.

Can we use my $83 to get us

across the rest of the country?

- Well, can we?

- Can we what?

Can we use your $83 to get us

across the rest of the country?

No.

Why not?

You think $83 is gonna get

us across half a continent?

I don't know.

We could fill this whole cab

with what you don't know.

Now get your hubby to

wire you some money.

No.

Why not?

I can't call him.

- He's dead, isn't he?

- No.

- You killed him?

- No.

Okay, then get him

on "thee" phone...

so that he can wire

"ye" some money,

and then we can go the

"helleth" away from here.

- I'm not calling him.

- Why not?

- Because!

- Because why?

Because!

You know what?

Forget it. Just...

Just get out, would ya?

Leave your crap,

I'll sell it on eBay,

and you just go

on your merry way.

Holy sh*t, you cry a lot.

- Shut up!

- Aaah! Ow!

No! No!

Ow! Hey!

No. No. Hey.

I don't play that.

No, I'm sorry.

No, we are not doing this.

I do not fight women.

Ah!

Oh, my nads!

All right, that is it.

That is it!

- Ow!

- Huh?

Hey!

Hey!

Yeah?

- Where you goin'?

- Bathroom.

There she is.

- Where'd you go?

- Oh, I was just...

lookin' for food.

You hungry?

I thought you left.

Find anything good?

Where you going?

- Morning.

- Hey, there.

- Howdy.

- What can I do ya for?

Oh, about 10 bucks.

I'm cheap and lonely.

No.

Uh, the guy here last night said there

was some sort of, um, breakfast or...

Yes, a continental breakfast right

around the corner in Conference Room 1.

Thank you kindly.

I used to have these

all the time growing up.

Can't believe I never

got tired of 'em.

Well, good.

'Cause that's breakfast,

lunch and dinner.

Dan?

I know this puts you in an awkward position

with the cab company and everything.

But it means a lot.

So how do we get

you to California?

Where's the nearest airport?

- Where to?

- Uh, Elmont, but...

We'll get you there.

- Elmont?

- Probably a suburb.

- Probably.

- Yeah, I'll find it. You just, uh...

Just what?

Fill in the gaps.

Oh, right.

So, uh, next thing you know, my

Dad's got $80,000 worth of debt,

and four tons of tapioca

pudding in the basement.

Well, I'll be.

What company did

you say he was with?

Uh, it was the

Good Topeka Business...

Or Better Topeka...

Something... Something.

- Never heard of it.

- Yeah, it's not around anymore.

- Boy, I can see why.

- Next right.

- Right.

- Right.

What?

No... I...

- Good. That was really good.

- Was that my street?

Uh, no. No, that's uh,

construction. No.

We're actually gonna

take a scenic route.

- Left.

- Right.

And here we are.

That'll be 48.50.

- How much?

- Forty-eight.

Forty-eight?

I'd say that's a bit steep.

- How much is it normally?

- About 25.

- Sounds good.

- I'll get your bags.

It was 55, right?

55 College?

It was 55 College.

What street are you on?

Uh, this is...

Yeah, this is...

Oh, wait, no.

This is...

How am I looking back there?

Um, guess I'll just...

Clark, you sit down.

Aaah!

I think I'm done.

Yep.

How much do we

have left after this?

- Uh, hopefully enough to get

us through Colorado. - That's it?

Haven't driven a car lately,

have you?

Yeah.

Welcome to the

rest of the world.

- Maybe we should go back

to the airport. - God, no.

Let's keep going.

We can always do this again.

Good idea.

We'll have better luck

in Denver anyhow.

I was lost

In the lakes

And the shapes

That your body makes

That your body makes

That your body makes

And the mountains said

I could find you here

They whispered the snow

and the leaves in my ear

I traced my finger

along your trails

Your body was the

map I was lost in it

Floating over

your rocky spine

The glaciers made you

and now you're mine

Floating over

your rocky spine

The glaciers made you

and now you're mine

I was moving across

your frozen veneer

- Yes?

- Hi.

Hello.

This is going to be a

strange question, but...

Did a young man happen to come here looking

to use your restroom or something?

No.

- Did you lose someone?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I think I fell

asleep in my car.

And when I woke up,

he was gone.

And I don't know why

he would stop here.

Or, uh...

I actually don't know

where I am.

I'm sorry.

- Well, you're in Boulder.

- Arnold, who is it?

Lynnette, did you see, uh,

some guy walking around outside?

Well, gosh, no.

- What's his name?

- Dan Reeves.

Well, like the football coach?

Uh, sure.

This guy she was

traveling with...

took off while she was

sleeping in the car.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my goodness.

Well, we will keep

an eye out for him.

What's he look like, sweetie?

Oh, I have a picture.

Surprise!

Thom!

- That was classic!

- Oh, my gosh!

I can't believe it. You should've

seen the looks on your faces.

Well, you had me going.

Dan Reeves.

Oh, I wish you'd let me know you

were coming. The place is a mess.

Your father promised me

he was gonna sweep up.

- We wanted to surprise you.

- Well, it's just an absolute mess.

Uh, Mom, Dad,

this is Claire.

Hello.

Hi.

So what brings you out here?

Well, you know, uh,

we, uh, got this crazy idea

to travel cross-country, and I thought,

hey, I know someone in Boulder.

- So... - So you drove from New

York, just like that?

- Just like that.

- What fun!

- Yeah!

- That's fun!

Well, I don't believe it.

- Well, are you guys hungry?

- Not really.

- Starving.

- Oh, wonderful.

Let's get you fed.

Come on, sweetheart.

- We just had dinner.

- We can't spend too much time.

We have to get, uh,

back on the road soon, Mom.

Okay. What would you

like to eat, sweetheart?

Why don't you sit right here,

next to the father.

And that is Asian chicken on the table.

It is so very good.

And then I have some meat

loaf and some bean salad.

Uh, Lynn, I'll take

some more meat loaf.

Oh, that's a good one, isn't it?

Those are our surgeons.

Uh, that's Todd and Marsha.

And that's Gracie,

our little Olympian.

And then I think you know

the cute guy in the middle.

- I wish you had told me you

were coming. - Mom.

I would've fixed something

a little fancier.

- Mom, this is great.

- I'll have the chicken, please.

Oh, Asian chicken.

- Dishes. - So, exactly, uh,

how did this come about?

Uh, you know, it was a spur

of the moment kind of thing.

Uh, we both had time off from work,

so we figured, why not?

Thom?

- Uh, anything. Just...

- So, uh, where you two heading?

Lynnette, I'll take

some more meat loaf.

Thanks. Well, my mom lives in

Vegas, so we're gonna go there.

And then I also have

some family in San Diego.

- Oh, a California girl.

- Lynnette.

Well...

Not exactly.

My half sister and

my father live there.

Oh, how often do

you get to see them?

Oh, about, uh, every 20 years or so.
