"We're trying to get your Father on the phone right now." " I have to see her." " Shh." "You need your rest." "Everything is Fine now." "Uh, you know, it's..." "Before we begin, I want to apologize..." "You know what?" "It's my Fault." "Uh, I knew she had a crush on me." "L..." "I just Felt bad For her, you know?" "She's a very Lonely girl." "IF it's any consolation, uh..." "The whole thing was kinda therapeutic For me." "Right." "Sorry." "I, uh..." "It's okay." "It's your therapy, not mine." "Well, so, how was it therapeutic?" "I don't remember the last time I slept so deep and so sound." "Don't remember dreaming." "Nothing." "Why do you think that is?" "One of the last Fires I ever Fought... was a brownstone." "Whole Families wiped out." "During the inspection, I went upstairs." "And I Found a little girl." "The whole right side of her Face was burned off." "But her eyes were open." "She was still alive." "Uh..." "You know that the... the pain must've been excruciating." "You know?" "She was... she was begging For me to... to kill her." "And what did you do?" "I did what she wanted me to do." "I killed her." "I kept telling myself that that was the right thing to do." "You know, it's... just..." "But, uh..." "I've never been so sure." "I'm sorry." "Gus, that's devastating." "What does all this have to do with Male?" "When I saw her last night she had the same look on her Face as that little girl." "She just wanted me to take her pain away." "Doctor?" "I heard it's supposed to rain, so I packed a poncho." "You're acting weird, man." "You're not gonna be a chicken." "No." "I'm telling you, man, it's gonna be great." "You ain't gonna be a pussy, right?" "No." "Wanna play some catch?" "Where the hell did you get that?" "!" "Did I say you could touch this?" "Did I?" "!" "Okay, everything... and I mean everything..." "in this house is mine." "You got it?" "You are not allowed to touch a thing, including this glove!" "What's wrong now?" "I was just looking at a picture of you and Rudy when you were born." "God, I miss him." "But you have Keith now." "What the hell does that mean?" "You have Keith." "Two boys again." "Everything's Fine." "We didn't adopt Keith to replace Rudy." "Didn't you?" "No." "Your Father and I discussed adoption For years." "Honey, we... we told you that." "Right." "Maybe if it was me that died, you wouldn't need another kid to get over it." "What are you talking about?" "I wouldn't wish that on any of my children." "But one of us died." "And I bet if you could choose which one, you wish it was me." "You know what?" "I..." "I know that you Feel we Favored Rudy." "You did!" "Admit it." "I admit that he was easier to raise, but that doesn't we loved him more." "Honey, Jacob, you were born with a different set of challenges." " My birthmark?" " Yes." "And it's not easy being different." "I'm not different!" "You always made it seem like there was something wrong!" "There's nothing wrong with me!" " I know that..." " No, you don't!" "It's like you don't know what to do with me." "You never did." "Well, I'm sorry that you Feel that way." "You know, you do what you can as a parent and sometimes you don't always make the right choices, but you are my son and I love you, and I would do anything For you." "I would Fight For you, I would kill For you, I'd die For you!" "Rudy used to say the same thing." "And he was right." "And as un-Christian as it sounds, I still want the boy that killed Rudy dead." "And someday, when you grow up, you'll understand that." "Someday." "A week?" "No..." "Dad." "Dad, I can take a train alone." "I understand." "You, too." "He really hates me." "He doesn't hate you." "I'm just gonna go see him." "That is not a good idea." "He doesn't wanna see me." "Fine." "I just want him to look me in the eyes and say it." " I can handle it, Ma." " You don't know him." "That's the problem." "Aren't you sick of being angry at him all the time?" "He hurt me." "But you have to take me to see him." "You have to." "Okay." "You're late." "Put this on." "What the Fuck is that?" "You didn't bring a disguise?" "No one gives a shit what I'm up to." "Where are you going?" "The main road's this way." "Yeah, but if we cut through the construction site, we'll hit the railroad tracks Faster." "Good point." "After you." "I'm sorry, Mom." "I just wanted to help you." "I spoke with your Father." "He and the girls caught a Flight." "They should be here by morning." "Did you tell him what happened?" "I told him there was a gas leak." "I meant the..." "I know what you meant." "I didn't tell him." "I don't think I will." "Are you mad?" "You know..." "Even if I could manage the Food can you really see me running a marathon?" "You just have to run to the end of the block." "It's not as hard as you think it is." "Easy For you to say." "No." "It's not." "Okay." "I'll try." "Ow, ow, ow." "Son of a bitch!" "I knew you'd chicken out." "Where'd you get that shit?"
