Wilby Wonderful Page #4

All I want is

How's it supposed to be?

I don't know.

The sign, I mean.

The other way

"Wonderful Wilby."

- Okay, ma'am.

- Don't call me "ma'am."

Okay.

Do you smell gas?

Good. Fine.

My job is done.

Can you go now?

Thank you.

I don't know, it's just

I mean, I know seven years

is not all that long.

But at first, it was like

It was like a perfect thing.

It was easy.

And then, mostly I

think it was my mom.

Her and my mom never got along.

Now my mom is gone

and I just I thought

I guess I

I thought maybe

that would make her

Make it easy again.

And then now

I look at her sometimes

and I see

It's almost like

"Where did you go?"

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize to me,

apologize to your wife.

- I know

- Don't worry,

a couple of sessions of heavy

petting in the back alley

won't add up to much more

than a night on the sofa.

We're probably just playing out

what we wanted to do

in high school.

You wouldn't even

look at me in high school.

All I ever wanted was for

someone to say "I love you"

and not want anything for it.

Somebody will.

We're not doing this.

That's what I'm saying.

No, that's what I'm saying.

That's what I'm saying.

That's a decision

I'm making, all right?

All right.

Good.

What do you think your wife

sees when she looks at you?

The statement

made the bigger go

in your mind

long ago

it dare not speak

and did not show

the dark's gotten

you to grow

let it out

let it out

let it out

overwhelming

on his own

by himself

not yet full-grown

the statement

patiently at rest

sits atop

a brown wooden shelf

get it down

get it down

get it down

get it down

get it down

get it ooh

Get it down, get it down,

get it down

No.

I love you.

Oh no, let's just wait.

- You're killing me.

- No, it's just

My mom's coming home soon, so

Okay. Tonight.

Yeah.

Meet me there at 8:30.

Okay.

Taylor?

I love you too.

Hey, you're cutting it close.

They're gonna be here

in 15 minutes.

Did you get something to eat?

I cooked some cheese

stuff and Sushi.

What?

What do you see

when you look at me?

Someone who's

not dressed for company.

Oh no, don't you dare.

Apparently,

she's deathly allergic.

If you wanna smoke tonight,

you'll be smoking outside.

Go get cleaned up, please.

And no talking about politics.

I've just been living day to day

I've got me

a love that's true

Honey, are you here?

Honey?

Honey?

Emily?

There you

are, my beautiful baby.

- Mom, you're drunk.

- I'm not drunk.

I'm celebrating.

Yeah, and what

are you celebrating?

We are celebrating.

Yeah, well,

I'm actually going out.

- 'Cause this is extra important.

- Mom

Okay, what?

We are celebrating

that you are starting out

on your beautiful life

with your beautiful self

and we're celebrating

that you're not gonna make

a big mess of your

life like I did.

- Come here.

- Mom, I

Come here.

Come on, come sit by me.

Come here.

What?

Here.

Condoms.

That's right, honey.

I don't want you getting too

attached to this guy, okay,

'cause I don't think we're gonna

be staying much longer in Wilby.

I just don't think things

are gonna work out.

Why, did you already sleep

with all the men here?

Emily.

That's what always

happens, isn't it?

We have to move because you

have sex with everyone,

or someone turns out

to be a psycho

or someone's wife finds out.

Is that what happened

with that cop?

Stop that.

Everything is not

always about sex.

I never said it was.

Right, right, so then why

would you give me those?

So that you won't

end up like me.

No, I won't.

Don't worry, I so won't because you

are the last person in the world

that I would ever end up like.

What's the matter with you?

Some things are about love, but

you wouldn't understand that.

Emily. Emily.

Take these, take these.

Take these, take these!

- You are so f***ing stupid.

- Take these, Emily!

- You are so f***ing stupid!

- Em

- Welcome, welcome!

- This is our daughter MacKenzie.

Hi, MacKenzie. You know buddy.

No, no, hello!

Yeah, you two met. He

works with your brother.

- Which one?

- Stan.

Oh! Right, right! You work

on the force, right, right?

- Duh

- Duh yourself!

- So shall we go?

- Sorry?

- We're gonna go see the house!

- Tonight?

- Wasn't that the plan?

- Tonight? Well

The open house

isn't till tomorrow.

I know, we were gonna get

in before the crowds.

Right, sure, but

- If you don't

- Fine, no, no, fine.

Fine, why don't we

just have a drink

and I've got a few nibblies.

A drink? Oh, okay! Twist my arm!

- Please sit down.

- Sure.

I thought were

just gonna see the house.

Be social for a minute! Come on!

Ah-choo! Sorry, could you?

- Oh, what?

- Pollen.

- Oh buddy

- I'm gonna wait outside.

MacKenzie, just shut

up and get inside.

Please, Elaine, don't be

telling her to shut up.

- Pardon me?

- Now she says it to me. She got it from you!

She's not getting it from me! You

tell her to "shut up" all the time.

Shut up!

Hi

Hey there.

I thought that was your car.

Got a couple minutes?

I'm-I'm just on my way out.

How 'bout a minute then?

- Here.

- What is it?

Rum. Go on.

- In a minute.

- I already had mine.

You have to have yours or we

won't be on the same level.

Why didn't you wear your new outfit?

Don't you like it?

No.

Yeah, yeah. I

It's just my mom came

home and we had a fight.

Forget about your mom.

- Listen.

- Listen to this.

Wait.

I love you.

I love you too.

Sorry to hear about your banners.

That's a shame.

Two words and he gets it backwards.

What are the chances of that?

- Is he dyslexic or what?

- Maybe.

I think it's better

the backwards way.

Well you can like

the backwards way,

but the backwards way can't be better

because the backwards way is wrong.

That's true.

But I hear they're postponing

the festival anyway.

Er where did you hear that?

- What with all the trouble down at the watch.

- Oh yeah?

What do I know?

Don't listen to me.

- I mean, it's your baby.

- I don't listen to her.

- Speaking of the watch Brent, what's the story?

- This Sushi is great.

I don't know. You're in

charge of the investigation.

You tell me there, buddy.

I don't know. I haven't seen

too much out of the ordinary.

- I don't think that'll be for too much longer.

- Oh yeah? Why?

- Um, Sushi.

- No thanks.

Just an instinct.

I think when the

stuff hits the fan,

and they publish the names

of the individuals involved,

- I think it's gonna be a different situation.

- Yeah, but see,

I think that's going to

attract more attention to it.

Don't we want it to fade away?

- Well I think it's a serious thing.

- Oh come on.

People have been getting up to,

whatever it is that they get

up to out there, for years.

- Shrimp?

- Yeah, sure, sure.

Yeah, well, I think

we're dealing here

with a different level

of deviant underbelly.

Why is that?

It's just an instinct.

- Well I think it's a whole

lot of noise about nothing.

- Nothing?

- Yeah, well, I think
