The Confirmation Page #7

It was actually pretty boring.

Okay.

Um...

Do you think Dad can borrow

the car for a few days?

Until his truck gets fixed?

Yeah.

All right, what the hell?

Kyle?

Um, do you mind if, uh...

Walt took the wagon

for a couple of days

and put new brakes on it?

We talked

and he said all good, right?

You really don't mind?

I'd be happy to help.

Great.

That's nice.

Thank you.

Here's the keys.

Okay, uh, I'd better get going.

Uh, Dad?

Remember, you said you'd

take me back to your house

to get some stuff I forgot.

Is that okay, Mom?

Okay.

But no messing around.

Just there and back.

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Hey, Walt?

I really enjoy seeing you.

Thank you for fixing the car.

You bet.

(door opens)

Okay, buddy, what's going on?

Now we can get your tools back.

Where'd you get this?

Mom.

Oh, no.

We're taking it back.

Well, it's for fixing the car.

You weren't

supposed to say anything.

Uh, she said, um,

she was gonna ask you

to fix it anyways.

Really?

Yeah.

Let me borrow your phone.

There's no way that guy

will sell them to us.

Mom and Kyle will help.

No. I can't do that.

(line ringing)

Otto isn't answering.

(line ringing)

I know.

Go that way.

Stay here.

I'll be right back.

Give him the money, Dad.

(engine starts)

Okay.

So you know where they are

and what they look like?

Yes, sir.

Just say it's for

your dad's birthday.

(door shuts)

Hey! I should've known

it was you!

Darren!

Darren!

(engine starts)

Hey!

Come back here, you! Hey!

Stop! Stop!

What happened in there?

When I went in,

he was talking to a man,

so I went right for the tools

and took them and ran.

Let me, uh,

take a look at these.

Thank you, Allen.

Thank you so much.

(no audible dialogue)

Allen:

This is good.

My dad, he's probably

still passed out,

but if he sees me,

I'll get in trouble.

Um...

sorry I hit you with the glove.

Hey.

Maybe I'll take you and Anthony

to a game sometime.

Sure. This was fun.

Bye.

Bye, Allen.

Bye.

We should make one more stop.

Bless me, for I have sinned.

It's been one day

since my last confession.

These are my sins.

I lied to my mom and my dad.

I stole...

a lot.

I coveted.

I said bad words.

I didn't keep

the Lord's day holy.

I shouldn't have lied

to the policewoman...

or pointed the gun at Mike.

Um.

Let's see. Um...

What else?

So...

what do you want

to do next weekend?

Next weekend

is First Communion

and Confirmation.

Oh, yeah.

You gonna do it?

Yeah.

For Mom.

Are you gonna come?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll be there.

For sure.

Where are you gonna stay?

You know, may...

Maybe Otto can put me up

for a few days.

Um, I got a paycheck coming

at the end of the week,

so, you know,

I can get my house back.

That's good, Dad.

Mmm.

You were right, Dad.

It was my fault.

What was?

I left the truck alone.

Oh, no.

No, Anthony.

It wasn't your fault.

No, I left it unlocked.

It was me.

Your dad messed up.

Hey!

You're a good boy.

You know?

You did good.

You got my tools back.

So, um...

see you next weekend?

See you next weekend, buddy.

Hey.

You behave yourself, now.

(laughs)

(car door shuts)

(engine starts)

I can remember

Those days as a child

When life was a treasure

Filled with wonder

and joy

The simplest of things

Were filled

with such pleasure

And love was a virtue

Time could not destroy

Oh

I still need these things

to believe in

To protect my heart

From the rain

Something's gone wrong

The old feeling is gone

Lord

I need a change

A change in the way

That I am living

A different way

to deal

A change in the way

I perceive

this old world

Oh

I need something that's real

These days, I wonder

What's become of that boy?

I know he has traveled

On many dark roads

How can a soul

Wipe clean of the sorrow?

And how can a heart

Unburden that load?

I still need these things

to believe in

That protect my heart

from the rain

Oh, but something's

gone wrong

The feeling is gone

And, oh, Lord

I need a change

I need a change

in the way that I'm living

A different way

To deal

A change in the way

I perceive

this old world

Oh

I need something

that's real

Oh

Lord, I need

Something to feel

Oh, something to feel
