Virginia Page #2

Now it was just like

her dad told my mom a million times.

Christians should only do it

with Christians.

Mormon or any other kind.

Virginia,

I need all my drivers.

If you can't come in,

I'm gonna have to let you go.

Probably a goddamn blessin'.

That job didn't pay crap.

I'll get a new job in a week

when I feel right.

You ready?

I'm sorry, Emmett.

Serious.

It's fine.

"I've just returned from a visit

to my landlord,

"the solitary neighbour

that I shall be troubled with.

"This is certainly a beautiful country.

"In all England, I do not believe

I could've fixed the situation..."

And April came and went,

and then May.

Come on in, Emmett.

Then summer came along,

like it always does.

Mrs. Tyler, I'd like to introduce Emmett.

I'm starting him off in the ticket booth.

I think he's got great potential.

This is, uh, this is my cousin, Barry.

Barry? Barry?

This is... this is Emmett.

He's got great potential.

Show Emmett how the register works.

On second thought, Emmett,

go get me a Diet Pepsi and some Dentyne

from the Quickie Stop.

Yes, ma'am.

Where have you been?

Stayin' away from you.

I had a religious revelation.

A conversion or whatever.

To what?

Bornagain Baptist.

They say you're a cult member.

And you drink blood and crap,

and you think you're gonna

live forever in outer space.

Don't believe everything

you read on the Internet, jerk-ass.

Here you go.

If you can believe in a Jesus,

I can believe in a Jesus.

Yeah, well, my Jesus

is better than your Jesus.

Prove it.

Convert me.

I'm ready to meet your Jesus.

We used her dad's cash

and my employee discount

to buy a large pizza

and ride the new Revolution

I figured if he got my mom,

it was only right I got Jessie.

Get in here, Em!

There's a lady out there

poundin' down my door!

I'm busy. Just tell 'em to go away.

She just doesn't like it if I'm not around.

She was okay without you before, right?

When we were little?

Nowadays she's better when I'm here.

Hey, where did the Lamanites

get all that gold from?

Virginia? I know you're in there!

She's not here!

Honey, I got the cough syrup.

That was our deal.

I get the cough syrup, you let me in.

Now, Virginia...

you need some medical treatment.

Nobody's gonna hurt you.

It's just some tests.

Tests, fests, rest with the best.

Right. Well, I've gone ahead

and reserved your room.

And they're gonna admit you on Monday.

Oh, no, no. You can't do that.

- Hell, I can.

- Miss Nicholaus.

Now, Miss Nicholaus! Listen...

You don't worry about me.

I'm a good Mormon woman!

God'll look after me!

Miss Nicholaus,

I am asking you nicely,

you give me... give me that cigarette!

- Hell, no!

- You get down off that table

and you give me that cigarette!

Because if you don't,

I'm gonna have you forced

into that hospital!

None of you and your tricks

can keep me from leaving, you got it?

You come back here,

I'll rip your f***ing eyes out!

I am coming back!

And I'm bringin' reinforcements!

And I will drag you out of there

by your teeth!

"'Mama Ou," ' you ain't, b*tch!

After my grandma died

in a huntin' accident

and my grandpa got locked up

for robbin' houses,

my mom didn't say a word

for, like, two years to nobody.

She just sat in a psycho ward for kids

up in Atlantic City.

They called it

"traumatic onset of schizophrenia".

The put her on all kinds of pills and probes

tryin'to get her to talk again, but...

...it didn't work.

The only good thing they ever did

was give her a big ol' black nurse

named Willie.

He took her along on his donut breaks.

He's probably the only man

who ever really loved my mom

without f***in' her up any.

Put 'em up!

Get away from that door.

Okay.

Oh, my God.

Let's say it's a birthday present.

Oh, my God.

- Is it real?

- Yes, it's real.

You didn't tell me he'd have a friend over.

Who? Oh, you mean Dale?

I was thinkin' maybe...

they could go someplace else tonight.

Well, they still have one more movie.

Total runnin' time, 164 minutes.

Look what Mr. Tipton

got you as a present.

He says it's half-price night at the pier.

I'm gonna hang here for a while.

Let's go.

Hold me close.

And tell me how you feel.

Tell me love is real

Words of love.

You whisper soft and true...

I need to tell you somethin'.

I went to the doctor.

He let me know somethin' big.

What is it?

Hmm?

I'm gonna have a baby.

A new one.

Whose baby?

It's all yours.

I promise.

There ain't been nobody else.

Untie me.

Are you mad?

Just untie me.

You've been doin' this

with somebody else again?

Nobody else.

I promise.

You know, I personally

don't believe in it, but...

...in this case, I...

I think it's best if I

support your decision

not to have this baby.

I ain't gonna do that.

Virginia... tell me,

what other option do we have?

- Hmm?

- I don't know.

- Hmm?

- Dick, I won't tell nobody.

I promise.

No, no, I-I just can't

have this right now.

- I f***ed up last time!

- It's just not possible!

I know I f***ed up last time,

but this one'll be raised right, I swear!

I swear to you, Dick,

I will do everything right!

Dick...

Please.

From then on, every Tuesday,

there was money in the mail.

I could've moved us

outta here in six months

with a couple hundred bucks a week,

and we needed outta here real bad, Willie.

And I guess nobody noticed

he was sendin' me campaign money,

'cause his campaign folks

had bigger fish to fry.

We have a problem.

The governor doesn't want

to come here anymore for Labour Day.

- Why not?

- Because they have

a red-white-and-blue Ferris wheel

up in Jersey.

What colour is our Ferris wheel?

Pink, and it ain't ours.

Move it! Move it!

I know what you people think of me.

Well, f*** you! Okay? F*** you!!

That's my pink Ferris wheel,

and it's staying pink!

And I want my goddamn lawyer.

I...

I really would like

to change the colour of your Ferris wheel.

So... what can I offer you?

Well, I wanna be on the city's board

from here on out.

- Done.

- And I go to all the campaign events.

Great. We can do that.

Then you repaint my wheel.

Pink.

Right?

Mom?

Mom, this is Emmett.

Oh... Oh, I'm sorry.

I don't wanna stain your nice shirt.

Are you with our congregation?

I don't know. I live east of here.

He doesn't go to church yet,

he's thinkin' about coming to ours.

Oh. Great.

Well, you can sit with us on Sunday, then.

And this is Richard, my husband.

Richard, this is Jessica's new friend,

Emmett.

It's nice to meet you, sir.

We've met before.

Well, it's a surprise seein' you here.

I'm always the last to know.

Are you alone?

Yes, sir.

America.

America.

God shed his grace on thee.

The grace of trust...

...of tradition,

and of self-reliance.

It was a quick edit.

We'll have a better version Monday.

You, follow me.

Well, I've been workin' real hard

at improvin' myself, sir.

I can honestly say I've studied

and am following every rule

in the Doctrine and Covenants

and Words of Wisdom books.
