The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete Page #3

---

She was let go a week ago.

That's good.

So where is she?

Yo, when was the last time

you took a shower?

I took a shower.

But there was no soap.

You smell vicious.

There's no toilet paper either.

Privacy, please.

"An actor must know how to live

truthfully under imaginary circumstances.

"You don't pretend to be the character.

You are the character.

"You must learn how to use

the reality in front of you.

"They say we belong to the life we're living

and the world of the story.

"You don't pretend to be the character.

You are the character.

"Who am I?

"Where am I?

"What am I doing here?"

Come on, hurry up.

Let's go, let's go!

Ready?

Yo, what's taking so long?

This one is different

than ours.

And I only did that

because my mom took my key.

And I never did it

wearing pantyhose before.

Can you do it or not?

Hey, Pete.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Mister.

I don't want to

do this anymore.

Put the food back.

Nobody needs to know that we were here.

I got another idea.

Hey...

It's over.

Everybody's all right.

Okay?

No. No, keep those.

You got the power.

We got the power.

We all got the power.

You got the power.

We got the power.

We all got the power.

You got the power.

We got the power.

We all got the power.

You got the power.

We got the power.

We all got the power.

I can act. I can sing!

I even do impersonations.

Pick somebody.

Will Smith.

You know what the difference is

between you and me?

I make this look good.

You wanna hear

my monologue?

What's that?

It's like this long speech.

You use it to show you can act.

I picked mine from Fargo.

You ever see that?

Hmm, nah.

I don't think so.

It's hilarious.

About these Minnesota

people with funny accents.

I guess you think, you're a, you know,

like an authority figure.

With that stupid f***in' uniform.

Huh, buddy?

King clip-on tie here.

Big f***in' man, huh?

You know these are

the limits of your life, man.

Ruler of your

little f***in' gate here.

Here!

Here's your $4,

you pathetic piece of sh*t.

That's very good, Mister.

I'm going to get us

a real house, Mister.

I'm gonna get a job,

and I'm gonna stop doing drugs.

And I'm gonna stop selling myself for money.

I'm just trying to

get things in order.

You won't have to be ashamed

to be my son no more.

Now run. Run, Mister.

I need time alone.

That's tight, right?

See?

Yeah.

Mister?

Is it okay not to

love your mom?

I mean, you can't help

but love her, Pete.

But you don't have to like her.

Ready?

Ready.

Go, Sarah! Go, Sarah!

Come on, Sarah.

Come on, Sarah.

Turn around.

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

Come on, turn around.

You can do this.

Let's go, baby. Let's go.

Go. Go. Keep rolling!

Keep rolling.

Come on, Sarah.

Keep rolling! Come on, baby.

Go Sarah.

Sarah, keep moving!

Sarah,

knock everything down.

Go, Sarah!

Keep going!

You're almost there!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Sarah, you're almost there.

Yes!

Yes!

Whoa!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Come with me.

You need help?

What?

Can I help you?

No, we got it.

Let me see

what you've got there.

We're good, man.

Let me see the card, please.

I know it don't make sense.

Two kids shopping for groceries

in the middle of the night.

But where we're from,

you don't want people seeing what you bring

into your home.

They'll rob you blind for a carton of milk

if they have to.

So, we shop while they sleep.

Plus my mom, she works two jobs

and she doesn't have time.

And tomorrow is her birthday.

I wanted to get groceries and have a

big breakfast for when she comes home.

I just wanted to do one thing

so she'd have one less thing to worry about.

Tell your mom happy birthday.

Thanks.

And the Oscar goes to...

All right.

You can come if you want.

Come where?

Beverly Hills.

I do want to.

In like a month

I should have the part.

August 7th.

August 7th.

What are you doing?

Didn't I tell you stop

playing games with me?

They're for you.

What'd you do to them?

If you don't want 'em

I'll take 'em back.

God bless you, Mister.

Come on, man!

Come on!

Yo, come on!

Come on!

Something's wrong.

What are you going to do?

Stay here.

Where are you going?

I got to save the food.

Hey! Get out of my store.

I just need some ice and a big cooler.

That's all.

Get out!

Yo, please don't be the a**hole right now,

all right?

I am not the a**hole.

You're the a**hole.

I can pay you.

I just need some ice.

Come on, man.

Look, if you don't get out of my

store right now, I swear to God...

Don't even think about it.

You had to be the a**hole.

Hold on one second.

Yo, Housing Authority

know you out here?

Shut the hell up, Dip Stick.

What'd you call me?

Dip Stick?

What the hell that mean?

Leave me alone.

Why you call me Dip Stick?

What you looking at?

You broke into my apartment?

Yeah. Yeah, I did that.

It's not like you had

anything worth sh*t.

I stole all your stuff and all I

have is these Kicks to show for it.

You dirty ass.

You need to get out of my face.

What are you gonna do?

You gonna do something?

You gonna do something?

You gonna do something, huh?

You little mother...

Come here!

Don't you ever call me Dip Stick again!

You hear me? You hear me talking to you?

You hear me talking to you?

Stop!

Stop it!

Shut up!

Come here! Yeah, I'm good, right?

Hey!

Stop!

You hear me talking to you?

Hey!

Hey, get off!

Get off of him!

I'm gonna see you again, Mister.

I'm gonna see you again.

What was that about?

Let me help you.

Let me help you.

Get off me!

You think I'm a charity case!

What? No I just...

I just wanna talk to you.

Yeah, you do!

You do!

You know, maybe it isn't

all about you, Mister.

Alice! Hold on. Wait!

Wait...

We're looking at one or two thunderstorms

developing as the day goes on.

Temperatures by then

in the mid-nineties.

So it looks like August is going to start

just as hot as July ended.

Unfortunately the summer

heat wave continues

and shows no signs of letting up.

Mister, open the door.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no.

Don't open that.

You wanna help me

clean it up, Pete?

Okay. But can I finish

my food first, please?

I want to bring you

some stuff.

I'll even let you pay me back.

Why?

Why? Why what?

Why do you keep

trying to help me?

You are my friend, got it?

So don't ever make me feel bad

for wanting to help you again.

You're gonna miss me

when I'm in Beverly Hills.

I know you're

not moving, Mister.

I am.

Me and Pete.

August 7th.

So you'll be here

in a couple hours, then?

You can come, too.

As fun as that sounds,

I can't come with you.

Why?

What is it?

He wants me

to move in with him.

You're not doing that, are you?

He already left

his wife and kids.

He's married?

Hell, no, Alice.

I know...

I'm going to tell him no.

I'm leaving him.

He left his family for you.

I never asked.

It's my life, not his.

I want to find my own way.

Want me to come with you?

Thanks, Mister, but I got it.

When is your mom coming home?
