Three Wishes Page #2

Dogs should stay outside.

Honey, he's a lovely dog.

I want to make a few things clear

and...

I would never do this

under any circumstances...

except these circumstances.

And because of that cast.

So, there is no point

standing here.

You've got baseball. Take Gunny

down the street to his friend's.

- I'd appreciate that.

- Come on, Gunny.

I'll take you to your room.

You can stay in Tom's room,

and he'll bunk in with Gunny.

One, two, three, four...

five, six, seven, eight...

nine, ten.

Ready or not, here I come.

I got ya.

Now America's favorite family comedy,

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.

- It's starting.

- Come on. Just one more.

Eat your corn, eat your corn

Tickle, tickle, tickle

Eat your corn, eat your corn

I'm a corn dog

- Are you a chicken?

- You bet I am.

I'm gonna go for a walk.

Sure.

Michael, listen to me

when I say come in.

Dinner is ready.

- Okay, let's go.

- You got the keys?

- Good night.

- Hey!

- You lookin' for somethin'?

- The highway.

It's a couple miles that way.

We can take you if you want.

No, thanks.

Always tell Mommy

where you're going.

Yes, sir.

Honey?

Hi, I'll just be one...

He's outside.

He's making sun tea.

Sun tea?

Then it's moon toast

and star jam?

And the next thing you know,

it's a heavenly breakfast?

Hank, go outside.

- Would you like some coffee?

- Coffee?

Is it sun coffee?

How can you ask me that?

Who is he?

Where did he come from?

Does he have any identification?

Don't you realize he could be dangerous?

- You don't know a thing about him.

- I do know.

He is not of this world.

Are you saying he's from

someplace else, like outer space?

- I'm pretty sure. I can't...

- How do you know?

Scout's honor, Joyce.

He can fly.

And he has a third eye

right in the middle of his forehead.

- Green, just like the other two.

- You're makin' that up.

- You act like this thing is a joke.

- Joyce.

Well?

It's good tea.

Hi, Brian.

- Good work.

- Thanks.

I'll clean up.

Here we go.

See you Saturday.

- Get some rest.

- Bye, Coach.

As I was saying, brakes

were screeching, then it crashed.

People came running,

but I got there first.

You should've seen.

Bones were sticking out.

There was blood everywhere.

He wouldn't even get on the stretcher.

He walked to the ambulance.

This guy, if he's for real...

- Could we meet him sometime?

- Maybe.

- Bye.

- Bye, Tom.

I saw your club last night.

What was in the box?

How'd you see?

What are you, a Russki spy?

No, he's a Peeping Tom.

You get it? Tom.

- Can I join?

- Very doubtful, Holman.

Tell us why we'd want

a bellyache in our club.

- Come on, guys. Let's go.

- You wanna meet Jack, don't you?

Holman, this better be good.

- What is this, Holman?

- Yeah, what are you trying to do?

- What the hell is going on here?

- Boys, inside.

What the hell do you think

you are doing here?

Sunbathing.

You know, I know how guys

like you operate.

Jeanne never actually

invited you here, did she?

No, you're right.

She didn't invite me.

She insisted.

Yeah, sure.

Honey!

Enjoy.

But what does it get you?

You. That is what I care about.

I'm only gonna say this

one more time.

Bringing a perfect stranger

into your home isn't like you.

Let me show you something.

It's the last thing I expected.

Where did this come from?

All these years I've been away,

building up the business...

I carried it around with me.

Why?

Maybe you were the one

I was doing it all for.

Dirty freight cars.

Gettin' caught in the rain,

nobody to talk to.

The whole world does come to you.

Every place that you

ever wanted to see...

and a few that you

cannot even imagine.

Like the salt flats in Utah.

What are the salt flats?

The flattest place on Earth,

a place that's cracked like the moon...

where nothing grows except...

quiet.

And it's a quiet

that, like, moves through you...

like a wind.

It scares you at first.

It's a place so bright...

where the dark becomes light...

and clouds, like shadows,

dancing in your eyes.

Is that where you go home?

Yeah.

But most people,

they live in houses like this one...

and I guess they like it.

I have a different kind of house...

where there are no walls.

- Just mountains and trees and oceans.

- Wow.

Don't you ever

get cold or hungry?

Sometimes, but I just eat

snakes or lizards.

I'm just kidding.

But there's always

a way to make do.

If you don't have much,

you don't need much.

And we were just going to bed.

Yeah.

Yeah, I bet you were.

- Good night.

- Night.

Step in and swing straight.

Eye on the ball. Come on.

It's nothin' to smile at, Sackin.

Holman!

Don't disappoint me now.

Come on, Holman.

What are you lookin' at?

Don't tell me the ball.

I was.

Never complain,

never explain.

Come on. Everybody in.

I wanna talk to you.

Come on, come on!

What do I have to say to you guys?

Huh? Look at you!

Bottom of the league

three years running.

I mean, come on! What am I saying?

I'm not talking here to myself.

The only thing that's gonna save you

is determination. You with me?

Determination!

You wanna win,

I wanna see it on your faces.

I wanna see you bustin' up for it,

bustin' up!

Get out in the field.

I'm gonna hit some to you.

And will somebody

catch some of these?

Way to go, Holman.

Now Coach is really mad.

- So I'm having a bad day.

- When are you gonna have a good one?

Yeah, why don't you just take

your clothes off and play naked?

- That was no big deal.

- Maybe you don't think so, pervert.

- Your mother should know.

- Shut up!

You pansy!

Mine!

Come on, Betty Jane.

Off you go.

- Hi, Mom! We're home.

- Hi!

- How was the birthday party?

- I have a stomachache.

Stomachache? Not again.

How long does Jack

have to be here?

- Until his leg heals.

- How long is that?

About a month, I suppose.

Why?

I was just wondering.

- Does he have to stay with us?

- I thought you liked him.

- Well, I do, but...

- We invited him, Tom.

I don't know. Can we pay him

to go somewhere else?

Excuse me.

Talk to her, Phil.

Tell her to come back

to work for me.

Besides, we need her

for the Wednesday night league.

No can do.

I am behind my gal 100%.

Your gal?

Business is a good idea,

assuming you're adequately capitalized.

- She has a bank appointment next week.

- With no credit history?

Banks are not the end of the line.

There's always investors.

- You should try to sleep in tomorrow.

- Maybe.

That was fun, really.

If you call losing fun.

I think I'm the guilty one there.

- Wait a minute. Don't you ever lose?

- Only at bowling.

Thank you.

Or bowling with me, at any rate.

- I tried.

- No, you were great.

You're very generous.

I appreciate

what you said to Hank.

He worries about me.

What I said about investors...

they have benefits...

especially

if that investor is me.

- Are you serious?

- I am betting.

I'm betting that you're

gonna succeed.

There's nothin' wrong

with bettin' on you.
