The Path of the Wind Page #5

I could make you

care about me.

Alright,

you need to go!

Okay, so, you're

not ready yet.

I can wait.

Lee.

How long can you?

Hi, Katie.

Hey, where are you?

I'm about to go on.

I can't make it.

I'm sorry.

But you got

the day off.

I know.

Eric called in.

Joe really needs me.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I know.

I wanted to be there.

I'll just call you later.

Alright, I'll talk

to you later.

Bye.

So, there's a new produce

order that came in.

I thought you might want to stop

by the office and check it out,

make sure it's alright.

I already talked

to Joe about it.

It's fine.

Are you sure?

Lee?

I'm sure.

I'll talk

to you later.

So, how'd it go?

It was a good group

of kids.

Good.

I'm sorry I

couldn't make it.

Are you?

Yeah.

I wanted to see you

in action.

It's just...

Anyway, I got some steaks.

I was thinking

about grilling them later,

if you're not too busy?

I'd love to, yeah.

I get off at eight.

Maybe, you'll actually

show up this time.

No.

He was totally

flirting with me.

Yeah, his name's Lee.

No, you wouldn't know him.

He's an older guy.

He was, but I think

that's over.

He said she was

way too religious.

Yeah, so, get this, she

wouldn't have sex with him.

No, I'm serious.

She does some kind

of abstinence stuff.

Yeah, it's killing him.

Hello?

Hello?

I don't smell steak.

Hi...

What's the occasion?

What?

Do you want out

of this relationship?

No.

Why would you

ask me that?

Who's Tina?

The girl I work with?

Yes, the girl

you work with!

Who is she,

to you?

She's a co-worker.

Are you sleeping

with her?

No.

Why don't you tell me

what this is about?

This is about you confiding

in some twenty year old

about our relationship.

I have never said word one

to her about our relationship.

She said my abstinence

is killing you.

Okay, it is!

But I never said

anything to her.

Then, how did she know?

If you didn't tell her,

how did she know?

I don't know.

I did not tell her!

That day you took her

to school, her car wasn't dead.

As soon as you walked away

she got right in it

and started it up.

She came in and she told

me that her car was dead.

What did you want me to do,

ask her for proof that

her car wouldn't start?

Why didn't you

come to my talk?

I had to work!

What don't you

get about that?

How convenient.

I thought you left?

Stay away from Katie!

What's that for?

Whatever you've been trying

to do is over right now.

Understand me?

Lee, where's this

coming from?

It's over!

You stay away from Katie

and you stay away from me.

Do you got it?

Did you understand that?

Did you get it

through your head?

What if I tell the police that

you've been harassing me?

Making inappropriate comments.

Maybe, I tell them you've

been following me.

Is that a threat?

I believe it is.

I'm a college student.

You're an ex-con.

I will give you

this little girl,

you do have a serious

set of stones on you.

Don't under estimate them.

I'm pretty sure they're

bigger than yours.

I'll tell you what...

I'm gonna call your bluff.

Bad move, Lee.

Do you think I

really want you?

I want your money.

Not all of it.

So, we can come to an agreement

or I can call the police.

Make no mistake about it

Lee, I'm gonna get what I want.

Yeah, not this time, Tina.

I owe you an apology.

Yeah, you do.

I'm sorry.

I saw some things

that made me jealous.

And I didn't stop to think

"Hey, Lee wouldn't do that".

And here we are.

Here we are.

Anyway, I just wanted

to tell you that I was sorry.

You want to come in?

I was hoping to.

I didn't think you'd

want to see me anymore.

Oh, stop it!

We had a fight.

It's over with.

It's not a big deal.

Thank you.

So, I gotta ask you,

what did Tina say to you?

I don't want

to talk about her.

The bottom line is,

I should have trusted you.

Well, I guess that will be

my job from here on out,

to make you absolutely

secure in my feelings for you.

I'll tell you

something else,

I love the fact that you're

not in your twenties.

I love the way

you look at me.

I love the sound

of your voice.

I love the touch

of your hand.

And those lines you get by

your eyes when you smile.

You are a beautiful

woman, Katie.

How do I make you understand

how deeply you move me?

Show me.

Hey, Kenneth.

Hey, Lee.

Is Katie here?

She's not.

She called

from the airport.

She said she'd be

back next week.

Next week?

That's what she said.

Did she say where

she was going?

She said was her friend Maria

was taking her on a trip.

Is that it?

That's all she told me.

Right, thanks.

Oh, she left this

at my house.

Hi.

Hi.

I've missed you.

I've missed you too.

I wanted to call.

I'm glad you waited.

You want to talk inside?

You want something

to drink?

No. I'm okay.

So, how was your trip?

Beneficial.

I didn't deserve

a phone call?

I didn't know

what to say.

I can say I'm sorry.

I know we crossed

a line you didn't want to.

That's on me.

I don't blame

you for that.

I love what we

shared, Katie.

See, that's one

of the problems.

That could never

happen again.

That could never happen again,

and why would you say that,

because you blindly

obey some ancient book?

Blindly?

My past proves the

wisdom of that book.

You know, just because I did

not live up to my own standard,

doesn't mean that

I've abandoned it.

You said that was

one of the problems.

There's others?

Just one.

And that is?

Our religious differences.

And back to the book!

Let's face it, you're ending

this relationship

because I don't go

to church with you.

You see,

that's the problem, Lee.

It's not

about going to church.

It's about a

transformed life.

I know you don't

understand that.

No, I don't understand it.

You pursued me!

You started this

relationship!

I know.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry!

You had me fall

in love with you,

and all you can come to me

and say is that you're sorry?

I know.

I'm just trying

to do what's right.

We're what's right.

That's what's right,

you and me!

What do you want me to say?

Huh, I don't get it.

I believe in Jesus!

Tell me what you want!

Is that it?

Is that what you want to hear,

because I believe in Jesus!

Just tell me

what you want.

I really hope that someday

you can understand.

Hey!

You really should

lock your doors, man.

You never know who

might just wander in.

I thought we

needed to talk.

I mean, I really want to avoid

things starting to escalate.

So, I figured let's just sit

down and hammer things out.

Please.

There you go.

See, I

knew this could work.

I was telling my

friend George

that two guys in love

with the same woman

should be able

to work out their differences

without resorting to...

I even hate to use

the word... violence.

Truth be told, George

seemed to think otherwise,

especially after I told him

about our first meeting.

You're not too

bright, are you?

Yeah? Why's that?

You break into my house

after I already beat you down once.
