chrxmosome - 100 dollar ice lyrics
people are decent mostly
i say mostly
because we all know
there are some
real pr-cks out there
people are decent
because they never forget
how to reach out
now and then
they’ll even surprise you
but then again
sometimes they won’t
i wanna be remembered
as the awesomest
dodgeball player ever
i wanna win an olympic gold
medal in dodgeball
this will make the world
a better place
’cause i’ll inspire other kids
to be dodgeball champions
and that’s what i think
about my legacy
good, tommy. a little basic
but some solid grammar
and paragraph construction
well done
who wants to go next?
henry?
yeah
we can all talk about
making our mark
but, isn’t it just
comfort food
to stave off
existential crisis?
i mean, in the end, tommy
you’ve gotta realize that…
dodgeball isn’t even
an olympic sport
but… our legacy isn’t
what we write on our resume
or how many commas we have
in our bank account
it’s who we’re lucky enough
to have in our lives
and what we can
leave them with
the one thing we do know
we’re here now
so i say we do
the best we can
while we’re on this side
of the dirt
and that’s what i think
about my legacy
henry, remind me again
why we can’t
put you in a gifted school
’cause it’s better
for my psychosocial development
for me to interact
with a peer group
at a normal school
environment
yeah. okay
thank you
and so that’s 3000
of tannentech
at seventy-six with
a stop-loss at seventy?
and, you know what? give me
ten liffcom with aluminad
two and a quarter
okay, yeah
i think it’ll work
let’s just say
i’ve the benefit of being born
into a bull market
sorry, i’m late
– buckle up
– wrestle this backpack
i really wish
you’d get a new car
it’s not like you can’t
afford it or anything
that isn’t the point
and besides…
there’s nothing wrong
with the old car
the book of henry
why won’t you let me help?
i only broke one of them. over
which led to
an electrical fire. over
waffle irons are tricky. over
i just wish i could make
something like you do
okay, come on then
– okay, what do you wanna make?
– a flying trampoline
you might wanna start small
rocket boots!
that’s kinda hard too
okay, you have to build
in a fail-safe
it’s all about timing, set up
covering every contingency
one little miscalculation
and the whole thing fails
like the waffle iron?
waffle irons are tricky
what if there are sharks?
too shallow
how about piranhas?
indigenous to africa
henry says
“south america.”
fine
south america
but don’t you worry
if anything attacks you
anything indigenous
to our region
i’ll be in here
in a flash
okay?
okay
– you okay?
– yep
call out the capitals
oklahoma city, oklahoma
easy
augusta, maine
salem, oregon
albany, new york
hey, mom, what is this charge
for $147.50 at funtime cove?
bouncy castle
for peter’s birthday
the one that smelled like feet
bismarck, north carolina
isn’t that one
of the other norths?
tallah-ssee, florida
did our financial statement
come in the mail today?
– juneau, alaska
– yeah
i forgot to give it to you
you should really read it
and know what it says
– annapolis, maryland
– wrong
right
cheyenne, wyoming
you know it doesn’t
actually help
when you lean into it
like that
sure it does
look at that
look at that!
so he dyed his coat
all the colors of the rainbow
then the other squirrels
were jealous and sorry
because he looked
punk rock awesome
and they learned
that real coolness
isn’t about the color
of your fur
it’s about what
you’ve got beneath it
the end
so?
it was well told
hey!
you try writing
and drawing something
it’s about something
it’s a metaphor
it seems someone hasn’t
grasped the blue squirrel’s
moral of acceptance
young engineer award?
when did you get this one?
it’s no big deal
i’d be psyched
if i won that
i wouldn’t just toss it
in the corner
you can have it
okay. let’s get your
little tushies into bed
you think i’m running
a nightclub here?
can we do movie night tomorrow?
i can’t, hon
i’ve got the dinner shift
mom, i told you
you don’t have to work anymore
what do you mean she doesn’t
have to work anymore?
nothing
i’m just saying, it
it’s not necessary
just stay home
and work on your storybooks
i’m sorry
are you sure?
because… i mean
i don’t wanna invade
your sense of personal sp-ce
or anything
mom!
goodnight
on or off?
– on
– off
open or closed?
– open
– closed
yikes, it’s hot
– hey, mom?
– yeah
– double cl!ck here
– easy! it’s expensive
then you download
the bank statement
directly into the program
who says you’re not smart?
no one
show me
what i just taught you
i’m not a child, henry
show me
okay. that’s enough
let’s see
you just deleted
last month

that right

susan?
great. it’s glenn
mr. sickleman
susan?
hey!
i was wondering
would you mind
keeping an eye
on your lawn?
your unraked leaves are blowing
over to my property
it’s just hard to keep up
okay
yeah, i’ll try
sorry, glenn
– hey, sweetie!
– hi
come here
hey!
look at you
hey!

little cops in training
boys?
sorry, to be a pain
about the leaves
i know it doesn’t seem like
a big deal, but…
no, no. i… it is
i, i get it
moving forward, i vow to
mind my leaf distribution
appreciate it
my future daughter-in-law
god
she’s adorable
but her stepfather…
glenn
mr. sickleman
late again
dog ate my car
well, table seven says
their eggs are too wet
so, have fun with that
hey, toots, how’s tricks?
the feds are all over me
had to move money
into my swiss bank account
and the rates are terrible
tell me about it
when i won the lottery
you should have seen the taxes
eighty-two million
turned into sixteen million
what am i gonna buy with that?
– hey, table seven is real
– you sell the castle yet?
corsica. but i’m having a hard
time unloading monte carlo
my b00bs are up here
yeah, easy
miss? this isn’t
what i ordered
hey, susan? the new payroll gal
ain’t exactly the brightest
she mailed your paycheck home
even though i told her
you were coming in today
it’s a nice neighborhood
you live in
somehow i always figured you
rent an apartment somewhere
thank god
for alimony?
yeah, right
i guess i could just set you up
with direct deposit
if that’s easier
i, i don’t know
i’ll have to ask henry
you have to ask
your 11-year-old?
twelve
he’s almost twelve
henry!
i need your help!
morris took your medal!
hurry! let’s just go!
hey!
thank you, dot
there he is
hey, christina
you okay?
yeah. i’m good
henry! henry!
peter! hey!
– let him go
– henry!
– the medal!
– what’s your problem, dude?
i told you to
stay away from him
he’s a little douche bag
you, you’re smart at least
but him?
alright, come on, guys
break it up
he’s a nothing
he’s a nothing!
– where were you?
– remember that
i’m sorry
thank you, let’s go
come. come on, peter
i said sorry to you
like, a thousand times
i promise i will not let
morris near you again. okay?
i promise
i bet i can make you smile
mom’s home!
h-llo?
my munchkin!
what… geez, henry
just say no
surprise
sheila!
h-llo, peter
hank
it’s actually henry
i think you’d be able to retain
at least one simple name
somewhere beyond that haircut
nice goggles. they go well
with your misshapen head
don’t you two start already
now, i’m gonna pretend
all this didn’t happen
’cause i’ve had a h-ll
of a day, and sheila and i
are just gonna hang out
a little. okay?
they’re gonna get
so drunk right now
– i know
– i heard that
my mom…
but my mom was a b-tch
but she was
like, she wasn’t
she would try to
she scared my friends
how?
you know those like
dracula t–th?
yeah
for halloween?
yeah, and if a
if a guy asked me out
at all
and he would come over
she would wear
her dracula t–th
– god
– and then she’d just, like…
slowly smile, like…
or maybe
she was being protective
she was horrif…
she was being protective
she was great
she was just trying
to raise me right
she failed miserably
but she should win an award
please don’t let me
screw ’em up
i mean, you just do
the best you can, right?
but they’re kids
little tiny creatures
in the world
waiting for life to just happen
i don’t know how you do it
honestly, i don’t know
how you do it all by yourself
come on, i have henry
find me another male
of the species
who’s… more grown up than him
i’d like to
can i sleep here?
henry! let’s move it!
there you go
hey, sweetie?
you okay?
fine. why?
what’s with the face?
nothing
it’s just a headache
okay
hey, sweetie
need a lift?
you okay?
yeah
now for some bad news
zach’s mom dropped off
donuts for his birthday
okay, cl-ss…
time to start thinking
about your acts
for next month’s talent show
i’m handing out forms now
so, be sure to bring back
parent’s signatures
henry, where are you going?
henry!
godd-mn it, janice. how much
longer does this have to go on?
what else do you need to see?
i believe you mean
princ-p-l wilder?
henry, we’re not going down
this road again
bruises, exhaustion
decreased school performance
what have her grades
been this year?
you know
i can’t tell you anything
about another student’s grades
you’re under no obligation
to investigate
you need merely
report suspicion of
it’s, it’s your ethical
responsibility as an educator
i made preliminary inquiries
which turned…
so make secondary inquiries!
it’s more complicated
than that, henry
mr. sickleman
is the police commissioner
and an upstanding member…
as if upstanding members
of the community…
these type of
baseless allegations
can have extremely
serious ramifications
jesus! do…
do these things mean anything?
i have known mr. sickleman
longer than you’ve been alive
don’t condescend to me
i’m not gonna subject him
to public scrutiny
without conclusive evidence
fine
i will handle this without you
henry carpenter, come in. over
when do you think
mom’s gonna be here? over
sorry
where are we going?
we have to stop by sheila’s
she was supposed to work the morning
shift but she didn’t show up
stop that
sheila?
h-llo?
found her
lovely
you brought the children
h-llo, hank
sheila. looking radiant as ever
let me guess, drinking away
memories of that ex
who left you in the lurch
with two young boys
– that was you
– yeah
i covered for you at work
come on. get up
no!
no! have a sip
you’re weakening
yay
yay
us
it’s really great how you
enable her alcoholism
sheila is not an alcoholic
yes, she is
would you relax?
honestly
she’s such a sharp dresser
didn’t acid wash go out
before i was born?
compared to some of the sh-t
in her closet that’s nothing
mom…
don’t curse in front of peter
like it matters anymore
“mom has a two-headed baby.”
bet that made
for a trying delivery
right in the middle
of the d-mn freezer
you had all day. you’ve had all
day to talk about it
henry
it’s none of our business
you’ll only make it worse
did you threaten me?
you are not…
henry
no. stop
come on
child protective services
how can i direct your call?
– h-llo?
– h-llo
can i help you?
yes, can i have the
intake caseworker, please?
a caseworker? that’s me
how can i help you?
hi. i’d like to report
a child abuse case
okay
is somebody hurting you?
no. it’s not me
how old are you, honey?
eleven
and what’s going on?
where can i reach you?
look, i’m not… i’m not gonna
give you my phone number
that’s why i called
the anonymous reporting line
– get it?
– stay calm
henry!
the address is
3328 spindle lane
and the abuser’s name
is glenn sickleman
thank you very much
goodbye
don’t hang up
hold on
hey, henry
hey
for your brother
it’s one of mine
it’s
very considerate of you
– i hope he likes it okay
– hey, sweetie!
henry told me you’re gonna
do a dance next month
can’t wait to see it
hey, glenn! you must be excited
about the talent show
yeah, i, i confess
i, i get a little impatient
at things like that
i, i thought
janie’s mom was taking you
jenna
they’re out of town that week
well, i can…
i’m happy to take her
i’ll, i’ll pick her up
great
mrs. carpenter…
sweetie, please
susan
henry and peter
they’re lucky to have you
thank you
and your father’s lucky
to have you too
stepfather
i want you to stop focusing
on academics
and spend a little more time
goofing off
pick up a bad habit
or something
gambling
booze, get hammered
rob a bank
come on!
you’re no fun
mom…
that woman today
at the grocery store…
you didn’t…
do anything to help her
i told you
it just wasn’t our business
i think… when someone
hurts someone else
i, i think it is our business
well, i know
it seems that way
but… there was nothing
i could do
yeah, mom if… if
everybody did that
then there would be no one
to look out for the people
who just can’t look out
for themselves
so what should i have done?
i didn’t want things
to get violent
violence isn’t the worst thing
in the world
what is then?
apathy
sickleman
four-hundred-foot drop
to the south
and deep water
to the north
here?
keep going
here?
keep going
but if i go any further
i’ll fall in
okay. now hold up some fingers
three
roger that
yeah, that’s what
i’m looking for
how many rounds per minute?
twelve hundred
– what’s she run?
– eight
eight hundred dollars?
no. eight hundred drachma
funny
needs a license i suppose?
yeah. federal
yeah. well, i left
that one at home today
yeah, i’m sorry, sir. i don’t
run that kind of establishment
and what if dominic sent me?
eleven hundred
yeah, okay
come around back
in half an hour
give my regards
to dominic
jesus, mom. really?
know why they call me
“the can opener,” henry?
no. but i’m guessing it has
something to do with whoop–ss
come on
turn it off
just as soon as i level up
on these motherf…
mom!
enchilada number one
enchilada number two
how come he gets
to be enchilada number one?
’cause he’s older

mrs. carpenter
my name is david daniels

– hi
let’s see what’s going on
with you, pal. now, henry…
i’m gonna shine this light
in your eyes
– did you witness the seizure?
– yes
what did it look like?
his whole body
was shaking, and jerking
has he been having headaches?
no. n-nothing major
just…
– you have? for how long?
– three, three, four months
– dr. daniels you asked for these
– you said it wasn’t anything serious
why didn’t you
say something, honey?
kathy, we need to
take him upstairs
what? where are you taking him?
we need to take him to surgery
your son has a definite m-ss
and it looks swollen
it’s ab-tting
some critical structures
i know this hard for you but we
need your consent to proceed
– dr. daniels, he’s seizing
– mom
– push one mil of ativan, stat
– henry
mrs. carpenter, we need you
to sign off on this
i can’t sign this with
without asking him
we need parental consent
it’s alright, henry
it’s alright
come on. alright, let’s go
alright. you’re alright
you’re alright
henry, we’re gonna
take you to the or. okay?
mom
hey, baby
yeah. i’m here
i’m right here
is… is everything okay?
what about this?
will you at least
eat the brownie?
hey, kiddo
glad to have you back
you must be peter
what do you say you give me a moment
to talk to henry and your mom?
that be alright?
yeah
why don’t you come with me?
henry, you’ve got something
in your head right now
something we call a tumor
it’s not a good thing
so, we had to see
if we could remove it
without hurting
any part of your brain
it’s tricky stuff
and we were able
to get some of it
come on, man
excuse me?
this kind of rapid onset
cutting right away
the expression on your face
the way i see it
it’s got to be a high grade
ependymoma or glioblastoma
i don’t know why
i didn’t think about that
what with the headaches
and the blurred vision
i just thought it was stress
large m-ss?
yeah
extended?
yeah, it is
has it spread
to critical structures?
well, we tried to resect it
but unfortunately…
i see
my mri?
irradiate?
i’m sorry
i’d like to be alone, please
sweetie, i don’t think…
mom…
i’d like to be alone
okay
okay, cl-ss. henry is going to be
in the hospital for a little while
he’s really sick
so, i thought
it would be a nice idea
if we all sent him
some get well cards
is he gonna be alright?
– well, tommy…
– well, he has to, doesn’t he?
i mean, it’s henry
he’s gotta be okay
we don’t know just yet
h-llo, hank
hey, fashion road k!ll
what you doin’?
workin’ on some notes
think you’re pretty
brilliant, don’t ya?
i prefer precocious
sh-t, hank. why’d you
have to go and do this?
henry
look, even though we…
i know
it’s called reaction formation
what?
it seems we have
an ant-thetical relationship
but… we’re just
behaving towards each other the
opposite of how we really feel
i think you’re pretty
thus i insult you
childish, yes
but… i am a child
you take care, hank
do you have a nine?
do you have a ten?
go fish
hey, peter…
they have good ice cream
in the cafeteria
would you mind
grabbing me some?
here, sweetie
so, i was thinking
when we get outta here…
mom, i need you to bring in
the financial files
– don’t you worry about that
– they’re in the second file drawer in my cabinet
– not now
– i also need to get a hold
– of the retirement statements
– let’s talk about it next week
i may not be here next week
i’m…
i’m just gonna get some water
i don’t want any
me neither
peter… i have to tell you something
and it’s very important, okay?
after…
after…
it’s essential that you make
sure mom reads my red notebook
okay? but not you
just mom
i want you to make her yourself
peter
i’m trusting you to do this because
you’re the person i
trust most in the world
take care of mom. okay?
where are you gonna be?
i don’t know
it’ll be good
everyone’ll want
to be friends with you
come here
it’s okay
i’m gonna
make everything better
and if liffcon gets above 200
dump it
i think we’ve leveled down
the energy sector
so all good there
you listening to me?
what?
you need to buy a new car
already
there’s nothing wrong
with the old car
put you in some long-term bonds
triple tax-free
i said, i didn’t
wanna talk about that
you’ll have to read the
statement and check in with rob
every once in a while
mom, this is really important
no, it’s not important at all
keep an eye on the tech stocks
you have to watch them
closer than the others
i said, i don’t want to talk
about it. okay?
i don’t give a sh-t
about any of it
i’m sorry
i’m scared
i don’t know how to…
i don’t know how to do it
without you
i don’t know
how to be a mother
i never taught you that
you always knew
how to be a mother
you’re the best part of me
henry
the best part of me
can’t…
henry?
– mommy
– what are you…
baby, what are you doing?
henry? henry?
h-llo. what?
what’s going on?
what’s going on?
what is it baby, what is it?
it’s okay
– i’m gonna get a doctor
– what is it? breathe
– breathe. breathe
– mommy
– yes. i’m here. i am here
– mom. i want mommy
i’m here. mom’s here
mommy’s here
– mommy
– it’s okay
– i want to see the sky. so…
– it’s okay
– i want to see the sky
– you want to see the sky?
look up. look up, baby
mom?
hey!
so… i had an idea
i had an idea
it’s just a start
but it’s something
see, we’re gonna eat dessert
all week
nothing else
breakfast, lunch, and dinner
– f-ck it
– don’t swear in front of me
– look at this beautiful day
– mommy?
you didn’t expect it all
to stop for this, did you?
– mom
– it’s still beautiful out
life goes on, right?
mommy!
what?
sweetie, i’m sorry
i… i’m just
having a tough time right now
it’s because when
you lose someone close to you…
don’t talk to me like that
like what?
like a child
yeah
god
i don’t know what to do
i don’t, i don’t know
what would henry do?
don’t do what henry would do
do what you would do
what would you do?
i don’t know
am i early?
i mean, we said 4:30, but if-if
it not a good time, i can…
no. i-i, i just forgot
and…
i don’t, i don’t usually
make house calls
but i wanted to see
how you and peter were doing
thank you
is is… is peter home?
yeah, yeah. come, come in
– hey, there
– hey
i just wanted to make sure
you were alright
are you alright?
no
what’s wrong?
my head hurts
it does?
where?
come here
let me take a look
i think your heart hurts, kiddo
thought my heart
was down here
i’m gonna give you my card
it’s got my, my cell number
on the back
if your head hurts like that
again, you just give me a call
deal?
deal
ma’am, you work here?
– excuse me?
– ma’am
hey, is this
regular or diet c0ke?
it’s diet
susan? can i…
yeah
maybe you came back
a little too soon
what? i’m fine
no
no, you’re not fine
your boy sent this
from the hospital
he says you have like 680k
in a checking account
even more
in stocks and bonds
says in there that you can
afford to take a break
and i think you should
he w…
he was a smart kid
look this isn’t a request
susan
i’m sorry
hey!
are you…
yeah. i’m great. i’m fine
yeah, i, i’ve gotta run
i-i-i dented the grill
on my maserati again
can you believe it? i went to fly
a mechanic in from milan to…
it’s a whole thing
i, i have to get home
to my two boys
does anyone want to trade
for a piece of fruit?
want the last cupcake?
i’m home
mom! mom!
yeah
i think henry wants us
to k!ll glenn
mr. sickleman?
keep in mind that not everyone
goes through all five stages
and you don’t necessarily
go through them in order
each of these theories
emphasizes the vital importance
of remaining busy
through the grieving process
in putting oneself to task
i don’t think the task they
had in mind was k!lling glenn
mr. sickleman
just turns my stomach
to think he would…
he what?
i didn’t understand it all
just not being
a good parent to christina
i’m gonna call
child protective services
why call in
child protective services?
it’s not a possible option
well, there has to be someone
else we can call to handle this
he already tried everything
come on, peter
there’s got to be stuff
he didn’t think of
stuff henry didn’t think of?
this is ridiculous
there has to be another way
to help christina
why there’s no way
to help…
i’m not having
this conversation with you
we have to
it’s henry’s dying wish
we are not murdering the police
commissioner, and that is final
i get that the investigation
is closed
that’s why i’m trying
to see if…
right
won’t har-ss an upstanding
member of the community?
you sure you don’t mean
powerful?
no, that doesn’t make any sense
just…
yes, i understand that the caseworker
has to be within the same region
but i was just hoping to get
an outside opinion, that’s all
– i’m sorry, it’s out of our…
– we are talking about…
we are required to follow
standard operating procedure
right, but isn’t there a point where
standard procedure is less important than…
ma’am, i’m sorry
you can file an appeal…
seriously?
d-mn it!
i love you
no. no, sweetie
no
my god. come on. come on
h-llo
glenn. hi
i was calling because…
because i’m gonna get
to the leaves…
those leaves on the lawn
you’ve said that before, susan
yeah
but now i’m on it
hi, mom. it’s me
breathe, mom
obviously, if you’re listening
to this, i’m not around anymore
i’d hoped to do it all myself
but that’s not an option now
i hope you’re not mad at me
for sneaking out
but i had to make sure that
everything was taken care of
i know you rely on me, mom
now i have to rely on you
i need your help
everything you need
is right here
it can’t be left undone
we have to make it better
and, mom…
yeah?
i’ll be with you
the whole time
okay
okay
we’re gonna walk through
it together, step by step
one little miscalculation
and the whole thing fails
let’s start by stockpiling some cash
from atms. don’t act all weird
the camera’s behind that
little gl-ss square up top
don’t look. good
withdraw $500
how’s that enough?
i know it doesn’t seem like
enough, but if you hit another
atm right away, you can get
around the daily limit
the next atm’s
at longbow and swan
you’re gonna go right
at the intersection
your other right
listen, i’m sure you
have doubts about this
you think? it’s godd-mn
insane is what it is, henry
good. get all your swearing
out, not in front of peter
– it’s such a bad influence
– it’s such a bad influence
park across the street
behind the green dumpster
you came here?
jesus
i’m the worst parent ever
remember the security camera’s
field of vision
it’s in the diagram
mom, you got this
i need a nemesis vanquish 7.62
with a litton ranger night
vision scope, a suppressor
and three extra ten-round
detachable mags
think you can handle that, or should
i take my business elsewhere?
suppressors are illegal
for civilian use
let’s see what dominic
has to say about that?
yeah, dominic
look, chief, all due respect
i got a plane to catch
so why don’t you just name your price
and i’ll get out of your hair?
plywood is only slightly
thicker than a human skull
and these rounds fragment
on impact
making them pretty much
untraceable
slow, steady pressure
on the trigger
did you see that?
good job, mom
you’re getting there
at first
i couldn’t imagine doing this
but then, i see that look
in her eyes
like she’s still in there
barely hanging on
nice shot, mom
look at that grouping
now make sure you collect the
sh-lls before you get out…
need anything?
i’m good
well, don’t burn anything down
remember that electrical fire
waffle irons are tricky
hey, glenn
hey, susan
i’m sorry, i haven’t…
no, don’t…
about your son
i-i…
yeah, thanks
look, i was, i was hoping
to get your advice on something
that i’m trying to deal with
do you mind?
hey, sweetie
how are you?
how’s school?
fine. except math
it’ll get easier, soon
susan?
yeah, so…
with everything that’s
been going on this last month
i…
well, it’s got me thinking
if, god forbid
something were to happen to me
being a single parent
i wanna have arrangements made
for where peter’d go
do you have anything
like that set up?
well, i’m, i’m pretty healthy
try to stay fit
guess there’s always
the proverbial bus
but…
no, i’ve never really given
it much thought
even after christina’s
mother p-ssed away?
nope
can’t offer… much…
on that front. why?
just, you know
your line of work
you guys seem
to have all your ducks in a row
yeah, i’m sorry
i, i can’t be much help
what’s that?
yeah, i almost forgot
i, need you to sign off
on the talent show night
if i’m gonna take christina
you know how cavalry elementary
loves their forms
yeah
okay
– here
– great
so, i’ll pick her up tomorrow
okay
around six?
yeah
witnesses are required
for guardianship papers
so i back dated them and forged ms
schwartz from up the block’s signature
since she died last year
poor mrs. schwartz
from up the block
also, i bought
a new car for you
there’s nothing wrong
with the old car
i know, i know
but it’s safer and it’ll make
a less conspicuous getaway car
you just need to pick it up
the address is in my notebook
fine
mom?
hey, honey
what are you doing?
i was just
finishing up on some work here
okay, let’s get you back to bed
you ready for tomorrow?
big talent show
kind of
what are you gonna do?
a magic trick
a magic trick
what’s it gonna be?
it’s a surprise
sounds exciting
what if it doesn’t work?
well, you’ve prepared
for it, right?
yeah, a lot
mrs. ramirez even
let me use the art lab
then you shouldn’t be nervous
you’ve laid down the groundwork
and when it comes the time
just have to trust
it’ll all go smoothly
if henry did it, there’d be nothing
to worry about. he’d be perfect
baby. what?
tell me
sometimes i think
it should have been me
no. how can you say that?
people would be less sad then
listen to me
if anything happened to you
i… i don’t know what i’d do
henry was amazing
but you…
you’re just as special
and the fact that you think
you’re any less important to me
isn’t just wrong it’s…
it’s stupendously wrong
okay?
everything has
to be timed to the second
every movement
every angle, every footstep
there’s no room for error
this never happened
you were never here
not even here now
you’re a ghost
like you
peter! come on, let’s move it
it’s your big night
hey, you’re gonna play it cool
up there on stage, right?
and there’s no need to panic, ’cause
panic never got anyone anywhere
just stay focused, stay calm
and remember your
lamaze breathing
good?
okay
don’t be nervous
it’s gonna be great
peter, what are you doing?
why would you do that?
henry would’ve thought
it was funny
henry was 11
he was a g*nius
but he wasn’t a parent, okay?
come on
hey
hi…
hi, i…
there you are
all surprising, like…
i invited him
i wanted him to see my trick
i’m sorry
i thought you knew
i hope
this is okay
yeah, sure. no problem
but, i have to be
a parent volunteer tonight
so, i have
parent volunteer things
okay…
i’ll just…
– you okay?
– yeah
yeah? you look great
– don’t be nervous
– i won’t
i’ll be watching you
peter
good evening, parents
the students are ready
i am so proud of these kids
ladies and gentlemen, welcome
to the cavalry elementary
school talent show!
you gonna step to me?
i’ll kick you in the knees
i’m the baddest
meanest, mad dog mother
you’re ever gonna see
blink twice, you’ll miss me
chicks, they try to kiss me
suckers, they see me
and flee me
after i kick ’em in the shorts
get lost, dorks
’cause you’re all tidbits
but me, i’m the shiznits
okay, mom, this is it
on my three
one, two, three
c-a-v-a…
r-y!
don’t panic
no matter what, don’t panic
i’m not panicking
this is for my sister
a, b, c, d…
time check
7:12
line your body up with
the rifle to reduce recoil
wait till he’s exactly
where you need him
eliminate all distractions
sh-t
even trigger pressure
remember your training
smooth exhale
don’t tense up
steady, mom
steady
mom, take the shot
do it, now!
no
no
you’re just a child
what the h-ll is going on here?
i know what you’ve done
emergency room visits
school absences, bruises
calls to
child protective services
that all just got swept
under the rug by your brother
henry doc-mented all of it
and you never even knew
he was watching
who you think
they’re gonna believe?
i don’t know, glenn
i can afford a scandal
how about you?
i’m gonna call my chief
have him bring you in
whatever happens to me
won’t change what you are
i will go to the fbi
i will go to the newspapers
i will make sure
that you never lay a hand
on that little girl again
and i will make you answer
for what you’ve done
look at me
look at me!
i want you to see
who you’re up against now
that can’t be right
my god
hey, stan
hey. it’s glenn
listen, i need you to…
handle somethin’ for me
you’re gonna hear some…
insane, accusations
you know, so…
i know, glenn. we got a call
what do you mean?
a call f-from who?
the school princ-p-l
we heard from the district
it’s too wide, glenn. we’re
gonna have to open up a case
and now
introducing peter the great
for my magic trick, i’m going
to make my brother reappear
when i’m done, he’s gonna
be here, right among all of us
please work
you know, as a scientist
i never believed in magic
but after that
– peter the great
– dr. daniels
will i see you soon?
i hope so
do you mind watching him
for a second?
of course not
i’ll be right back, sweetie
what happened?
glenn sickleman
took his life tonight
god
the social worker asked to see
christina alone for a moment
sweetie
in the best interest
of the minor child
the court hereby orders
that permanent custody
be awarded to susan carpenter
effective immediately
sometimes a good story
will remind you
of who you want to be
maybe that’s why
there are so many
stories about good and evil
stories about the triumph
of the human spirit
stories about
living and dying
and how you gotta do one
in spite of the other
well, this story…
it’s about you and me
and my brother…
and the girl
who lived next door
but it’s not my story anymore
it’s yours
“and one by one its petals
dropped to the ground
“and then the leaves, and then
the bud, and then the stalk
“until it seemed the flower
was gone, but it wasn’t
“because the flower melted
into the soil, and made it rich
“so the whole garden could grow
the end.”
i loved it
i loved it, too
thank you
okay, let’s get you into bed
you okay?
i’m almost finished
painting your room
it’ll be awesome
goodnight, enchilada number one
goodnight, b-tterfly
on or off?
– on
– on
open or closed?
– closed
– closed
