"It was beautiful?" "Oh, hell, yes." "What happened to it?" "God you love to ask questions" " What happened to it?" "I put it outside the hospital emergency." "With a sign, that's a "premature" on it." "They'd probably figured that out for themselves" "I sat and I waited, until they took it away in an ambulance to the premature center over in Cleveland." "And I prayed." "as I watched them drive away in it." "God would bless it." "It never really had a chance." "If it was per Roxy Carmichael, it would at least have a chance." "Yes." "Jesus!"

"Jesus, Dinky." "What are you doing?" "So what have you done and what to do about her?" "Can you make this hold till Friday?" "Oh, sure." "I love that kid, you know?" "I really do" "Of course you do, honey." "It's just that I feel like we adopted a baby from Mars or something" "She just is not like us at all." "Do you want part on the right or on the left?"

"My parents were in the process of opening their carpet store when they acquired me." "So I guess it was sort of a natural thing for them to think of me as another piece of carpet." "Some sort of remnant." "What?" "It's a funny analogy." "I am here to amuse." "Ever have you tried to talk to them about it?" "Well" "When?" "Once" "Once when I was six and a quarter, Mrs Bossettie and I sat down and we talked." "You don't, I know" "Yes, I do." "Well..." "I told her that I prefer books to dolls." "boots to ballet slippers" "My ideal of a family vacation was to go to work on the Alaska pipeline." "and?" "I was only six and a quarter, I can't remember everything." "Aha..." "You really want to know the stuff." "Well..." "She cried for 3 days." "She told everybody she felt like I was rosemary's baby." "tsk, think about that movie." "And then, she stopped trying." "and so did I." "That' too bad, Dinky!" "It's really too bad." "She can't help the way she feels, neither can I, I mean." "There isn't anything wrong with that." "It's not like I have some romantic notion I am suffering because my parents" "People for that matter don't understand me, I mean, so what?" "Who understand anybody really?" "Who wants to?" "Sorry I am not trying to understand yourself you know." "We just don't fit." "It happens." "It's not gonna matter after Friday, anyway." "Why?" "Because Roxy Carmichael is coming home?" "Cause my mother is coming to get me." "Your mother?" "What am I to get it and understand?" "It's not for you to understand, really." "Dinky, what do you say, we comb your hair?" "Danny, don't do that with your potatoes." "The hams were good." "Come on." "Don't do that to him." "Why not?" "Because I said so." "Don't talk to me like that." "Do whatever I want." "Just like you" "What's that supposed to mean?" "You promised" " I promised what?" " You know what." "I don't buy your house" "So what ?" "Tsk, little bitch" "Don't you get better things to do than to check up on me?" "She never loved you , Denton." "She didn't like you even." "She won't even as much to say hello to you on Friday because she won't remember who you are!" "Hey, sweetie." "How that thing is instead of a suit?" "I am gonna rent a tux with a pink combo belt ?" "I really don't see what the big deal is" "I mean , I really don't" "Well the chance is not everyday that a legend returns to Clyde" "Roxy was the first pro to actual sex before she was ten that I ever met in my life" "She had a definite cheapness about her but" "She was not, she.."

"I am gonna throw all that Pizza up I can just tell" "This is Mike Oweis on WCPZ" "Bringing you Melissa Etheridge's rendition of" "Jack Slater's classic" ""In Roxy's eyes"" "Hi" "in class if I embarrassed you" "I guess I sort of get carried away on account of that poem" "You embarrassed yourself." "You don't know a dick about building stuff, Dinky Bossetti!" "I heard Roxy killed her Mom" "She didn't kill her mom." "Her mom killed herself, Beannie." "Well, Roxy was a reasoned one to kill herself." "So Roxy killed her mom" "Shut up." "I am trying to sleep" "I heard that Roxy's mom spontaneously combusted." "when she heard Roxy's not coming back" "That's how she died" "Nice one, Dave." "Hey, Dinky Bossetti." "What happened to your bike?" "Did you trade it for that new bow you are wearing?" "Let me off" "Let me off" " What?" " Let me off!" "Dinky!" "Dinky!" "Dinky!" "Dinky stop!" "It's your bow..." "Yes." "That's it, all right." "Dinky!" "I got to talk to you." "Why?" "Eh, because..." "Just say it!" "Gerald?" "Cause you are smarter than anyone I know" "You've even got a sense of humor." "Ever since I moved here, I thought so." "Go on?" "But..." "You got to take... more of an interest in yourself." "I mean how do you look, you know?" "What for?" "So you can be my girlfriend..." "What makes you think that I want to be your girlfriend?" "Look, cause I like you." "I thought maybe you liked me too." "I said last week that I am gonna follow my father's footsteps to become a dentist" "So you don't have to worry" "What about our stuff?" "You are planning I am going to the same school your dad went?" " Yes, Wooster, Why?" " I wouldn't" "Why not?" "Well your daddy probably works on your teeth, right?" "Yes, so?" "So why hasn't he fixed your gaps?" "I don't have any gaps" "Hmm, yes you do." "It gives me character." "God." "I want to kiss you so bad right now, Dinky!" "It's good to want things." "Bummer" "They need me after practice today." "Aren't they?" " Are you guys going to the boxing" " We'll think of that" "And she just sits there alone all the time?" "uh-huh?" "How long has this been going on?" "It's on and off" "Since for 7'th grade" "That's when she was here." " And she is how old now?" " I would say she is about 15 15 and a half" "Oh, Beth!" "This is Ronald Reems." "Ronald, this is Elizabeth Zaks." " Hi," " How do you do?" "Ronald is from Lancer school" "Lancer school?" "Yes, it's a private semi-rehabilitate school." "for socially inappropriate children and likes you to come" "Well, actually it's more than just for socially inappropriate students" "Ronald is here to do a study with Dinky Bossetti." "What for?" "To our understanding that Dinky may have a learning problem." "Dinky is an excellent student." "Perhaps..." "Not perhaps." "She's maintained practically A and ever since elementary school that goes for every school she has been in and out since then." "yes, but at the expense of other students." "at the expense of what other students?" "How is that hamburger gravy?" "good, ha?" "I brought on the misc over here when I became principal." "She is a good cater too." "Look at her." "They are throwing food at her." "631.2 00:45:12,880 -- 00:45:16,870 What would be a normal reaction, if you throw the food back at them?" "You may have a point but my understanding is her.." "Problem goes far beyond occasional food throwing as of it" "It is, huh?" "Well, let me ask you this, Mr Reems." "Have you ever talked with Dinky Bossetti?" "Not yet, but..." " I.." " But you would want to take someone else' word for her, right?" "Beth!" " I think that's enough" " I don't think so" "Who sent you here?" "Daddy!" "What's going on?" "Babey?" "Barb, come one, I think we should talk." "We've been talking for 8 years, Denton." "Not to each other, but then... can't have everything huh, can you?" "Barbey, I love you, and the kids." "Come on."

"Do you think I should go blonde?" "I would if I were you" "I mean if you were me" "Yes" " If I were you, I would" " You would?" "Got to go." "You think she'll be blonde?" "It's hard to tell of Roxy" "Not that matters" "Roxy is oxidizing Evelyn." "Oh" "I would if I were you" "It's just that I hate to take a chance, you know, and have it turn out bad" "Roxy Carmichael always took a chance." "I am not Roxy Carmichael and I couldn't care less what she would do." "Go for it." "Is there any particular reason why you are looking at me like that?" "Come on, you haven't said a word." "What is she famous for?" "Did you hear that song "In Roxy's Eyes"?" "Jack Slater's song?" "Heard it last night" "First hit he ever had, right?" "She was the girl in that song" "And?" "That's it?" "She was in a song, and that's why she is so famous?" "She didn't save a country or.." "invent something great or murder someone?" "You know how hard it is to get yourself in a song?" "Jesus" " You can eat the rest of those?" " How could a song make her a legend?" "She would have been a legend with or without that god damn song" "All the album he devoted to her or all those interviews he did about her." "And he gave her everything he may in that song it played for 23 weeks" "She authorized." "I hear she said for life." "still makes money of it whenever it played" "Hell, I even heard a wimpy version in the elevator, huh, the other day." "So, why did she leave him?" "She's smart" "She knew that she left him while they were still in love, and just, it'd make her more of a legend." "Now Romeo and Juliet or me and her." "What about the baby?" " I mean did anybody else know about her being pregnant?" " No, no one." "She had a real one" "So you mean I am the only other person who know." "Yes, I guess you are." "Did she love it?" "I mean did she love that baby?" "Yes, she did." "She said while it was a girl inside her that was a real special child." "What about you?" "I mean, don't you ever wonder about that baby?" "Don't you?" "Huh." "What kind of a father are you, anyway?" "Don't you ever wonder what happened to your first born?" "It's 7:15 M. Good morning Clyde!" "This is Genny Durant coming to you on the day our Roxy returns." "Dinky?" "Are you away?" "No" "May I come in?" "I am doing stuff, really." "There are some things we are gonna have to work out if this house is going to hold the 3 of us" "Look, I am late for school." "Then we will talk about it tonight, Missy?" "The name is Dinky" "What's the matter?" "So something about us?" "And nobody in the faculty knows?" " No body knows" " No, I don't care about that, it's" " Well.." " What?" "You can tell me?" "It's Dinky" "and it's what you've thought for?" "Look, Beth." "I want to know where we are going." "I mean we have been together for almost a half first year." "I just would like to know what direction we were headed in" "Wanna think about it?" "Dinky?" "!" " I need a favor." " A favor?" "Yes, please." "I really appreciate this.." "I haven't been shopping in years." "And this is kind of obvious" "Cleveland will be a very expensive car ride." "and you told your parents about this right?" "Right" "Well, I didn't tell mine."

"I am working on it, ha?" "Well, I burned out in New York, too." "Then, one day I just packed up everything and I left." "Who helped you jump in Clyde?" "You want to know the truth?" "It's usually the best thing" "You are tired of driving" "Sign" "This is not me..." "How do you know?" "You think I should try it?" "Yeah" "Very nice." "Who?" "Them." "Oh, Thank you." "Well." "I guess you are trying my stuff on now." "Ok, Dinky" "Yeah." "Think mine will be as nice as yours someday?" "I think yours are as nice as mine right now." "Yeah." "You are the first person who's ever seen them." "I just don't understand how something like this could have happened" "Straighten your head." "My father thinks that I should sue" "But I said, no." "I will just wait and see if she can fix it." " Thank you, Evelyn" " Ouch." "Pardon me?" "Care for some little Fiddle Faddle?" "No, thank you." "I was at high school." "Dinky never showed up there today eh..." "Look, here is the thought." "Why don't I come back in a couple of weeks and we can reevaluate the situation then?" "She will be back, won't she Les?" "This is unlike Dinky" "It's not normal for her." "Well, there is nothing normal when it comes to Dinky" "She is just.." "different shell, that's all." "and that doesn't have to be a bad thing." "There you go, defending her again." "I'm calling the police right now." "You are kidding about Dinky, right?" "You are not serious, right?" "I don't know, she's got a very good sense of humor." "Well, so does Rodney Dangerfield, but I wouldn't marry him" "It won't get to against Dinky anyway" "Well, for one thing she is new" "Kind of, I mean..." "She is better than in the summers now, 914.2 01:08:54,821 -- 01:08:56,820 but she is always getting scent and or somewhere the kind of weirdness" "So you know how was someone as new in school?" "You are gonna make fun of them for a while to break them in?" "Well, Dinky Bossettis really got to make fun of her, cause she is Dinky!" "Furthermore.." " She stinks" " She isn't a stink" "Well, she did the other day." "Furthermore, she is ugly." " She is not ugly" " Or she ain't beautiful like Laura Coiller who likes you and will ring you again in a minute." " Hello, Gerald." " Hi, Mr. Billings." "Officer Billings" "You are right, Beanie, look." "Oh Hi, Dad." "Come on, your mom wants you home." "She is making macaroni and cheese" "With Swisser or Velveeta?" " I guess it doesn't matter" " Put that god damn candy away" "By the way, you haven't seen Dinky Bossetti around, have you?" "No." "Why?" "She is missing" "Hey, Gerald, you want a ride?" "Beanie, get your god damn skateboard." "Gerald" "I wouldn't worry about it too much" "After all, she is just a kid." "They usually turn up.." "Well, I am worried, thank you." "Can you do anything?" "Hands down to do something." "I am really sorry, I have to be going." "No, No, I just made a fresh pot of coffee." "Let's please tell Mr Reems to stay." "Les, where are you going?" "out look for Dinky." "Why?" "I mean what for?" "Because she is our daughter." "We close at 4 today." "Oh, I got time" "Not a lot!" "And my boyfriend is gonna be here any minute, and he is got this thing of me of being here for." "I mean, he is.. he is a really possessive." "Don't tell him I said that, OK?" "This is nice, isn't it?" "Don't tell my boy friend I've said that, OK?" "Can you have this hand by tonight?" "We are official closed you know?" "Yup, but I can come by tonight, right?" "All right, I will pin them." "but I won't hand them, OK?" "Come on, baby, Get it." "Let's go" " No, You got to" " Well, I will try" " OK?" " I'm begging you, please!" "Here" " How is this?" "Are you gonna wear these shoes with that?" " No" "Promise me, OK?" "You really should have thought of this earlier." " You promised me." "Please, you got to do this." " I will do my best, OK?" "It is extra for the hurry." " Here.. here.. here." " Extra" "Ok?" "All right, go." "What the fuck?" "Jim!" "Not Again..." "Hi, Denton" "Gerald" "You want to talk?" "For what?" "Women" "When do they all come from?" "Well, nobody else wanted them." "Except for Dave here, he is on his way to becoming a bologna sandwich." "And we've got kind of a family thing going here." "We argue sometimes but basically we respect each other." "So you are gonna do this for me, right?" "You are gonna come here after school and feed them for me." "Dinky, are you sure?" " I mean you are absolutely sure that Roxy is.." " Yes" "I am" "Uncurtained window, huh?" "You know I think it will be a big mistake if you stop writing" " Where did you get that?" " Clyde library and it's tough time finding it though," "They put it under the home improvements section" "Congratulations" "You were in the five people who ever read it." "I liked it." "My book was a complete disaster." "That's why you are hiding out in Clyde?" "I lost it." "I don't want to write anymore" "That's a disaster" "I've tried." "Once?" "Ha.." "This is a good talk we have." "Bye, Elizabeth" "Goodbye, Dinky." " And I know I'll never meet anyone like her again." " Come on." "You sound just like I did" "You know I've fallen in love first time once" "She reminds me a lot of Roxy, you know." "The people hate Roxy like they hate Dinky?" "Pretty close" "They both scare people in the same way I guess." "Like aliens" "I guess it's got a lot to do with the fact that Dinky is adopted" "Now, look I got to go, I got to get ready for tonight." "You need a ride?" "She keeps saying she is leaving today." "She keeps saying her Mom's coming here to get her" "Her Mom..." "Who is her Mom?" "She says her mother is Roxy Carmichael" "What, she what?" "Wait a minute." "She thinks Roxy is her mother?" "Yes." "What?" "No, it's between me and Dinky" "It it's got something with Dinky, I want to know." "You really care about Dinky?" "Yes, more than anything" "OK, you go out and you do something real special for her." "Buy her some flowers" "Buy her a box of candy" "Something." "She is gonna need some" "Dinky?" "I saw your bike outside, Dinky." "I am glad you're home" "I was worried about you, Dinky." "You were?" "Yes" "Do you like the carpet?" "It's black" "I laid it this morning" "I had to bring it through the window" "Let's party." "Thanks" "Take these!" "My dad said you were taken to the station to get questioned?" "Shit." "He told me that you told them as I fight Dinky Bossetti all the time." "Shit" "Yes, I do." " Gerald Howells, what happened?" " What's it look like?" "I got brace-ts" " Why?" " Well, I have gaps." "My dad's been trying to put them on me for a long time" "So I let him." "When I know, it took an hour and a half." "Think Dinky will like them?" "You look really ugly." "I know" "Did you find her?" "Eh, no." "I went wherever I can think of, I almost" "I was maybe late for this" "Me too." "You got braces." "Yes" "For Dinky" "Thanks" "So good, oh!" "People, people!" "She is here!" "Roxy!" "Roxy!" "Roxy!" "Roxy!" "Roxy?" "Where is Roxy?" "What is going on here?" "Roxy Carmichael will not be able to attend her very own ball and dedication services due to circumstances beyond her control." "I know it." "She has however sent a dedication pack and request that we enjoy the evening without her." "I am never gonna see you again, am I?" " Wait, I got to tell you some thing." " I got to go, she is gonna leave without me." " Listen to me !" " Let go!" " Get off, you are not her father!" " Yes, he is." "No, I am not, and Roxy is not your mother." " Yes, she is!" " No, she is not." "Dinky!" "Roxy Carmichael is my mother." "Don't you, Daddy?" "I was that baby!" "Is she, is she so stupid to figure out that was me." " I was that baby!" " That baby died, Dinky!" "It, it died." "It died?" "I went to that hospital." "and it's , I saw her." "and I buried her." "I am sorry, Dinky!" " Don't be" " No, I am." "I didn't know." "I didn't know that she was there real for you." "She is no more real for me than she is for you?" "Dinky!" "Wait" "I am so stupid." "I lied to myself." "Yes, you did." "So what?" "Dinky." "Don't use this to run away again." "Please." " You only thought that you needed it, Dinky." " I don't have to listen to you" "Who the hell is Roxy Carmichael!" "Who the hell cares!" "She is not here." "Look around!" "There are real people right here in your life, who care about you, Dinky." "Save it for your lecture series, Gerald!" "Okay..." "You don't understand!" "I wanted this!" "I really did." "It's good to want things."
