201 Uh... 202 Mrs. Warmington said she looked for mom's obituary and couldn't find it. 203 Did you put one in? 204 I've had other things on my mind, Zack. 205 But how could you not do that? 206 People are going to think we didn't care about her. 207 I doubt people will give it much thought. 208 Don't worry about it. 209 You never talk about her. 210 She hasn't even been dead a month, and it's like you've totally forgotten she ever existed. 211 It's a little early for this kind of talk. 212 Maybe when you die, 213 I won't put in an obituary. 214 That will be your choice to make. 215 Assuming you outlive me. 216 Mom, it's no big deal. 217 Carlos and I are driving in for the baptism. 218 Problem solved. 219 Okay, fine. 220 You go with aunt Maria, and I will take Nana to church. 221 Take your clothes off. 222 Uh-huh. 223 Okay. I got to go, mom. 224 Yes, right now. 225 Okay, uh, you can give me directions later. Bye. 226 Hi. How was school? 227 Got an A-minus on my biology exam. 228 You did? Mm. 229 Well, let's see what you've learned. 230 Who's that? 231 I don't know. 232 Hey, you! 233 So did Mike say anything? 234 No, but, god, you should have seen the look on his face. 235 I'm sure it's not that bad. 236 I mean, he's coming to the party, right? 237 I left three messages. 238 Oh, he's not going to come. Big surprise. 239 I did everything but foam at the mouth. 240 God, I hate when I get that way. 241 It's like every time I get within 10 feet of Karl, I just become this monster. 242 You know what? It's not going to change until you resolve your issues with that man. 243 What, you mean forgive him? 244 You know, I've lived with this bitterness so long, I think I'd be lonely without it. 245 Honey, get a pet. 246 See ya. 247 - Son of a -- - it's a business meeting. 248 It's a frat party. 249 Regional manager, corporate manager, head of sales. 250 Margarita, cigar, sombrero. |
