Realistic Joneses Scene 12

That was a good dinner.

You didn't eat anything.

You all right?

God, I don't know. I've never seen anyone die. You know, I saw him once, at the post office.

Poor Elliot.

It was so much worse than television. All the forks and plates and everything all over the floor. (To John) You got white as a sheet.

In a blanket sort of way.

Blankie, remember? John was telling for his blankie in his sleep the other night.

"Blankie"

So what was all the blood?

You know a lot.

What did he yell? I know, I keep asking questions.

It was just a lot of yelling.

It was like when John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln.

Pony's taking a class.

Two.

In what?

The civil war, and one in theology.

Theology, wow.

I know. It's stupid, but I really like it.

Someone'll get that

But so, when Booth shot Lincoln, you know, it says in history that he yelled "Sic Semper Tyrannis." But no one who was actually there that night can agree on what he actually yelled.

Augh, my ankle.

He broke his ankle when he jumped onto the stage.

Dr. Mudd?

Yeah, exactly. Dr. Mudd.

Ah, maybe I would.

People were sitting right there, and they couldn't tell you. In real life, it was probably just a bunch of yelling. Like with Elliot. It didn't even sound like words.

The poor waiters.

If they get all the big history stuff wrong, what's anyone ever going to say about any of us?

That house used to be empty.

It looked like Eliot was trying to crawl away, like crawl into the kitchen or something.

I haven't heard that owl in a long time.

Most gods were animals first.

I wish there was less words in English,

That's his new thing. How many words there are.

or, is it just one?

It's just one. Life. Your life.

Remember how I got sick?

Yeah. It was from an expired yogurt. Oh, do you guys recycle?

his middle name is Arthur?

If it was something else, I'd believe that too. That's not really theology, though.

That's perfect.

John can fix anything.

From the look of her. Poor thing.

Yeah. Say one of your things.

Wow, this is a hard one.

You're tired. You can finish it later. Are you cold?

It's just a couple of different rules. Laws, I guess.

I want to be a more outdoorsy person.
