[Tommy is laying money out on the table]
Alright, we're going to play a little game because Daddy needs to know some information on Mommy's new boyfriend. Alright?
[they all are silent]
Katy
But Mommy doesn't want us to talk about that.
I understand that, sweetheart. That's why we have the money.
[Sean and Mike enter Katy's room while she's sitting on her bed drawing on a pad using crayons.]
Katy
Hi.
How are you doing? (He walks towards the bed and sits down next to Katy.)
Katy
I miss my brother.
Yeah, yeah, I bet. But you know what, Katy? You just- ah- you just gotta remember that you're gonna- see him again... someday. You know, up in heaven.
[Katy is silent.]
SWSean whispers to Mike
You want to help me out here, say something? Say something. Say something!
Um, you see, Katy, um, where he is right now, there is no pain. He is happy. And he doesn't remember anything about the accident. God makes that all go away.
[They turn their attention back to Katy.]
Listen Katy, you gotta know that Connor is fine and he's being taken care of, and you're going to see him again."
Katy
No, I won't.
Yes, you will, sweetie, I promise.
Katy
No, I won't. Because there is no heaven.
Of course there's a heaven, honey.
Katy
Prove it.
[Mike and Sean glance at each other and whisper something.]
Um... See, y-you just have to... believe.
Katy
I do believe. I believe there is no heaven, just as there is no god. Human beings know he doesn't exist. We need to feel special, more special than animals and bugs. Because we are scared. We need to think there is someone out there protecting us, watching over us. We're nothing. We come from dirt, and we go back into the dirt.
See ya. (He quickly gets up and leaves.)
Katy
Can you please leave me alone now?"
Absolutely. (He gets up and leave.)
I thought the hot new thing at school was blow jobs?
Blow jobs were so last year, c'mon Dad, catch up.
Katy
What's a blow job?
Uh, nothin', it's, uh, a hair cut...thing.
Katy
Wait, um, what's sperm? [Tommy looks to Janet who throws her hands up in the air at him]
It's -- It's, uh food. It's like uh, Spam, except it has more... protein and it's hard to find in the store. Now get outta here.
Katy
Well, I thought it was the stuff that came out of a man's penis during intercourse.
Oh, yeah, I forgot that this morning, but she can just grab something at school.
Katy
The food at school tastes like poo.
Well, how would you know what poo tastes like?
Katy
I use my imagination.
Okay, do me a favor. Use your imagination for something a little more constructive, like, reading or writing, okay? [hands her money] Okay, have a good day. Say good bye to your brother.
Katy
He smells like poo.
He's supposed to smell like poo, he's a baby.
