When You Wake Up Page #4

that tractor from, huh?

Well, I saw the tractor.

So I went to ask for help.

Well and he agreed.

We came, and I asked.

So it's all very simple.

Oh, so you think this is simple?

And what's so difficult about it?

Well what are you standing there for?

Get inside!

It's not going to steer itself.

And close the hood, you'll drive it out.

Well, then, how much do I owe you?

Stop horsing around, like you owe me.

Buy your daughter some candy.

Well thank you very much then.

You know what's better than

a big, big, big thank you?

A little, little, little 0.7l bottle.

Come on, I'm kidding, bye!

OK, bye then.

Yeah, thanks.

Well...

Get in the car, let's go.

Put on your seat belt.

Listen, it's my last cigarette!

Hey, that was so delicious!

Yeah, delicious! My cigarette

was delicious too...

Enjoy.

You've got a spider on your head.

There, in back, in back...

- Where, get rid of it, get rid of it...

- I can't reach...

- Where?

- There?

So get it if you can!

Where? So get it!

Gerda!

Well, so this is where I live.

Wow.

So what, you have Wi-Fi?

Come on, what Wi-Fi?

Well then...

if you don't have Wi-Fi,

then give me a high-five.

And good bye!

Run to your momma, so to speak.

I'm off to see mine.

Thanks for the ride.

Ah, no biggie.

Well, so see you.

See you.

Go on, your mom's probably

waiting for you with a belt.

She's not waiting... She's not home.

- How do you know that?

- The light's not on.

- Oh, so you live somewhere around here, right?

- Yeah, yeah...

So what are you going to do now?

It's no big deal.

I'll sleep in the stairwell.

It's cold outside.

What, are you kidding?

No... it's not the first time.

Now hold on, maybe she just ran out

somewhere and will be right back...

Maybe.

Who knows...

Maybe she'll come back, maybe she won't.

Well, you know, you never know.

Now wait, you mean, like

sometimes she doesn't come back?

Well yeah, there've been

all kinds of situations.

Well that's some momma you have there.

Look, let's do it like this. Alright?

We'll go to my mom's. She

doesn't live far from here.

And we'll spend the night there.

And then tomorrow morning

I'll bring you back here.

And maybe she'll already be back.

OK?

OK.

Alright.

Oh, right...

And when we get there,

there's another rule:

Don't go and try to call her grandma,

because she'll have a heart attack.

Got it? Huh?

I'm asking you if you got it.

Got it, got it...

Well you watch it.

Alright...

What the...

You didn't forget the rule?

No, no...

Well you watch it.

Hi, Mom.

You weren't expecting me, huh?

Jesus... What are you

doing here so late, huh?

Oh, you know, I was just in the area.

Hi, hi.

Oy, hi, hi, Laimutis.

You've gotten so thin, listen,

you haven't been eating.

I eat, I eat, Mom. Everything's fine.

Wow.

This is Gerda.

What...

She's Gytis' daughter.

- Gytis?

- Yeah...

- Your Gytis?

- Well yeah.

- What? How?

- Oh, it's a long story, you know...

- Hi Gerda, hello, how old are you?

- Eight.

So what are you doing out so late, huh?

- Gargdai? And you're going to Gargdai too?

- No, no, she...

- Gytis asked me to take her to her grandmother's...

- I see, I see.

Let's go inside, it's getting cool out.

We'll make dinner, alright?

Sit down, Gerda.

Oh, Mom, you know, you've got to do

something with the kitchen, huh?

Oh, child, and who's going to do it,

you know yourself there's no one.

So you say she's Gytis'.

And you used to come together,

it used to be so much fun...

Well, you know.

This time he couldn't, he had

some business to take care of.

I understand.

So this time I'm going

to the concert alone.

Oh, Laimutis, why are you eating like that?

I'll make you some soup.

Mom, we're so hungry.

You know, after the trip.

But how could I not have known that

Gytis has such an adorable girl?

So how's that dad of your doing, hm?

Gerda, let's go.

Mom, we're going into the

living room to rest.

You know, we're tired. We'll sit

down like normal people, right?

OK, fine, go ahead.

Yesterday a girl disappeared

from the ilut orphanage..

Why did you turn it off?

There's just garbage on.

So, Laimutis?

Now we have another rule:

You don't call me Laimutis, got it?

So listen, how's that Gytis doing?

I find it all so interesting, so

interesting. Tell me about it.

Not bad, he's doing really good.

He's happy, everything's fine.

So if everything's fine, why couldn't he bring

his daughter to see her grandma himself?

I told you-he's busy. I mean, he

couldn't... He didn't have time.

So why are you Punk if

you're really Laimutis?

Because my parents didn't

know what they were doing.

I mean, Laimutis could be

a botanist, for example.

And Punk could be that guy who cuts out your tongue

if he hears the word Laimutis again. Got it?

- Hmm.

- I'll show you hmm.

Mom? Did you buy firewood for winter? Hm?

Yes, and I think it should be enough.

Mhm.

Well, the neighbors' boy

Virgie helped, chopped it up.

Oh, that's nice, that's nice.

You know, now that Dad's gone, it's

so hard for me to do all that work.

And you hardly ever call or visit...

And you know how important you are to me.

I don't know anything, just what I read

about you in the paper and nothing else.

And the papers, well you

know what they write.

Not to mention the comments.

I have no words for it.

Mom, stop reading those comments, huh.

Oh, you probably need money.

I have money, you know, I get pension now

and I definitely don't need that much.

Mom, I can give you money

myself, like this much.

Alright, alright, eat.

Ah... Needs salt.

Child, go get the salt...

Don't make the kid run around.

Everything's fine.

There's enough salt,

everything's really good.

I'll get some pepper, OK?

Sit down. Everything's fine.

I know you like pepper, Laimutis.

Mom, no one calls me Laimutis.

Child, you will always be Laimutis to me.

Dad and I came up with

that name for you and...

You came up with it, not Dad.

Oh, what's the difference.

Well fine, eat. Is it good?

Yeah, very.

Oh child...

...you got some on yourself here.

Mom! Pfu, how disgusting,

I could never stand that.

Oh what's the big deal now...

Gerda, you know, you can

always come visit me.

Tomorrow you'll see how beautiful

it is here, windmills, mmm...

Just come whenever you feel like it, OK?

- Promise?

- I promise.

Oh, right, you have your

own grandma and grandpa.

Actually...

...I don't.

Wait...

...what do you mean you don't?

Oh, Laimutis, Gytis...

Mom, stop with the KGB

investigations already...

But what have I...

- Come on, let us eat, let's just sit here nicely, huh...

- What did I ask that was so wrong?

You don't even understand

that you're annoying.

Let's just sit, huh.

Lord, how often do I see you.

You come once a year...

You'll see. When you have your own children

and they grow up, then you'll find me.

And by the way, it's about time you

started thinking about children yourself.

Oh, just don't start...
