The Great & The Small Page #4

Do you have time for Jesus?

- No.

- You going on vacation?

- Moving.

Good luck.

- You going to Europe?

- Belize.

Spent enough time in Europe.

- Where's Belize?

- F*** do I know?

- I love Belize.

- F***.

- What?

So walking through the house,

we first assess the house.

Bottom floor first and

from there we head up.

Oh and that includes

the basement.

- If?

- If they have a basement.

If in the case of a lower

level or what some might refer

to as a basement, that

is our starting point.

- Very nice.

Sounding a lot like you

know what you're doing.

You sound like Richie rich.

I like how I sound.

- Yeah, it's a visual

and verbal assessment

of what we will be taking.

Once the top floor

assessment is complete,

we fill the truck with the

heavy items where two men,

meaning you and I, are required,

always working now top

floor to bottom floor

for deficient purposes.

- For efficient reasons,

for f***'s sake.

- Efficient reasons.

- You'll get it.

- Efficient reasons,

you're right.

Right, we then go solo

on the smaller items

and work our way back up.

At that point I'll do a

once over the property,

not with a fine tooth

comb, but just a swipe.

- Swiffer sweeper like.

- Right, swiffer

sweep of the house.

You'll be securing the vehicle

and activating the

security system.

- Yeah.

You got it.

I'm proud of you son.

Now at two P.M.

You'll pull the truck

over where I tell ya,

I'll get out the truck,

we'll go around a building,

down an alley, get on me bike,

arrive back at the

warehouse at 2:
15 P.M.

You'll reach the

predetermined drop-off point,

address the follow later, and

by the time the transaction

takes place, big head's

monthly scheduled

three P.M. drop-by will

have already occurred.

I'll have you signed

off on the books,

time served, probation over.

And thanks to me

you'll have 15,000

tax free dollars in your pocket,

not that you know

anything about taxes.

Now, this is important.

You will be picked up at

predetermined rendezvous boy,

you will be given a

ride into the city,

you will be given your cut,

and then you and I cut ties.

- I don't even have

to talk to 'em.

You know, they just

give me like a case,

or like a briefcase or a gym

bag, you know what I mean?

And at that point

all I gotta do is

like walk about five miles.

He said I gotta be

quick about it, but

that should be no problem, I

can run if I have to, you know.

Well whatever, that

ain't important.

The important part.

Nessa I get $15,000.

Can you believe that sh*t?

- I gotta get ready for work.

- Well, what do you think?

- I think it's a

dumb, stupid idea.

What do you want me to do?

You want me to jump for glory

'cause you make another

stupid decision in your life,

'cause I'll do that.

Good job Scott, yay,

I'm so proud of you!

Good job!

Money, money, do it, do it.

You're the best

dipshit criminal ever.

We don't need you Scott.

We don't need you or the money.

- I ain't giving you the money.

I'm giving the

money to Margaret.

The lady that adopted the baby,

I want her to have it.

- You went and saw her?

You talked to that lady?

- Yeah, that's why so,

I wanted to meet her.

What's the deal?

- You wanted to see your kid?

You're never gonna

f***in' get it dude.

You ain't ever gonna get it.

That was our baby.

That was supposed

to be our baby.

But you didn't want it.

You didn't want it, or

me, you wanted to f*** me,

but you didn't

wanna love me, huh?

Wow, I'm a dumb b*tch, I

am a dumb b*tch, aren't I?

You know I started

thinking that,

I started thinking

that this baby,

and me and you, that

we were gonna be like,

I don't even know

how to say it like,

it felt like it

was gonna be like,

how it was supposed

to be, like a family.

- I'm trying to help someone.

So I'm sorry.

Don't.

- Please leave.

- Don't.

- You ain't ever gonna get it.

- Get the f*** up.

- Well, where did

you sleep last night?

- Outside.

- Well, you have nowhere to go.

You have nowhere to go?

Well I think I can help you.

I'm sorry this is like, not

the greatest guest room.

- Trust me it's a,

it's an upgrade.

- It's an upgrade?

- Yeah, I ain't, I

ain't trespassing.

- Oh.

Okay.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- You sure it's

okay that I stay?

You don't think it's all

like strange and sh*t?

- Strange because, why?

- Just,

why help me?

- What do you think

is going on here?

I mean, look at me.

Do I look okay?

Do things seem right?

- No you don't.

- He was, he was really

sick for a long time,

the baby was sick.

Then my husband left me, and,

well the baby died.

What did you think

was going to happen

when you showed up here?

Did you think you could

just come in and be his dad?

- No, what, what

is it you think?!

Huh, why are you

being nice to me?

You're hoping that

I'm gonna replace him?

Is that it?

Trust me, I don't know sh*t,

I'm just some dumb f***ing kid,

but you ain't the only one

who been through some sh*t.

Right?

Lady, you're so f***ed up

you can't even tell

how f***ed up you are.

- I told you not

to call me lady.

Scott?

Um, Scott?

Well you were right.

I am, I am all messed up.

- You can say f***ed up, huh?

I won't tell anyone.

- Okay, I'm, I am all f***ed up.

- Was he uh, was he

tall, like for his age?

- Yeah he was pretty tall.

He was pretty tall.

I guess kind of average.

Average to tall, we used

to say that he was tall

to him.

- And people liked him?

- Yeah he was really funny.

He would just,

he thought it was

completely okay to just

ask questions to strangers.

And I guess it was

pretty charming.

You know.

It was embarrassing at times.

Oh.

I forgot about his

weird little walk.

He learned to walk when

he was eight months old

which is crazy,

he was just,

and, it's not a good idea

for them to walk at that age.

It's like driving a car

blindfolded or something.

He's just like, like he's

just like drunk or something,

wandering, and too small.

Look his hair is so

thick for a baby.

So beautiful.

Let me feel.

Wow.

That's so strange, I

guess he had your hair.

- Levi, Levi

baby, how old are you today?

- Four.

- Oh come on, how old are you?

- Three.

- That's right,

and what happens on

your birthday sweetie?

- Cake?

- Cake.

So, sweetie, Dr.

Clarkson and the nurses

have another surprise for you.

It's a very, very special

friend of Dr. Clarkson's.

Oh.

You're gonna cover your eyes.

- Yes, I'm covering my eyes.

- Okay, but don't

look, don't look yet, okay?

- Now?

- No, not yet honey.

Surprise!

- Nicholas.

Nicholas.

Nicholas!

Oh, you're up?

- It's Scott.

- No.

You see I made a

choice last night,

I refuse to call you Scott.

If I have to stop

running from my problems,

then I think you should stop

running from your own name.

- Yeah, that's,

that's really deep.

- Clean start.

- Yeah, clean start.

- Margaret.

- Scott.

- Nicholas.

- Yeah fine, Nicholas.

- Nicholas.

- This is for me?
