Coach?
(under his breath, while looking at a picture of Clay) Oh, great, his son.
Can I ask you something?
Look, Orel, just get out of-- (he looks at Orel and sees his face instead of Clay's) Orel, what's wrong with your face?
Orel Golly, why?
It looks... just like you.
Oh yeah, it's been like that for a while now.
And then he told everyone that I accidentally shot myself, or the bear shot me.
Or that you got between the bear and him.
Oh... a new one, I guess.
He's got a million of them, kid.
Coach, you like my dad the way my mom likes my dad, don't you?
[Pause]
Your mom likes your dad?
Oh, it's no use. You can't show me what there is to honour my father about. Because there's nothing honourable about him!
Orel, somehow, in his own blundering way, your father made you. And that's honourable.
What are you doing here with my son?!
Stop!
The thought of you two together makes my skin crawl!
Please! All we were doing was...having a nice time. For the first Christmas in...I don't know how long. I felt relaxed and full of joy.
This...is...rape! You raped my son!
What?
With niceness, in order to get to me! Well, it worked, you got to me! Now you stay away from him! He's not yours, I am! [He stops, realizing what he's just said] I mean-- he's mine, my son! Oh, I miss you..., Orel. I need you in my life..., Orel. And I...I...I...love you.
[Bitterly] We should go.
I love you, I love you, I love you..., Orel.
Come on, dad, it's late.
No! [He takes a step towards Stopframe, but cracks a picture of the two]
He's right. It's too late.
Right. [he turns to leave]
I had fun. [Clay turns around, only to see Stopframe smiling with Orel. Heartbroken, he leaves with his family, but leaves behind the stuffed bear. Stopframe strokes it.] Well, how are you at trimming?
Today's Christmas sermon is about family. What is family? Well, a lot of times, family is just a bunch of people who are forced to be together just because they came out of each other, but every so often...
(Flash-forward to a happy adult Orel celebrating Christmas morning with his family)
A miracle happens. A loving family, just like that—out of nowhere. Now, what causes this? A belief in God, a strong moral structure, blind luck? Who knows? Who cares? Ah, you're not gonna get any answers out of me. I'm just a puppet for the Big Guy. I don't write this stuff. The end. I mean, Amen. Nah, who am I kidding? The end.
