mirror of algra chapter 7 page 24


Jonathan Rainbow:
 So Mister Mc.G, how are you holding up? A big man like you
Must be tough on you to hear about your son?
Want to have a little chat.
Mister Mc.Grandy:
I never talk about these things. Never learned to do that
My wife she is wonderful to me but I can’t talk to her about these bad things. She always says look on the bright side.
DAMN, DAMN. WHAT BRIGHT SIDE! YOU TELL ME!
GIVE ME THE BRIGHT SIDE OF HAVING CANCER.
I DON’T WANT TO CRY, OH MY GOD MY SON HAS CANCER. HE HAS GOD DAMNED CANCER.
WHY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG TO DESERVE THIS. I WENT TO CHURCH EVERY DAMN SUNDAY.
LIVED MY LIFE AS A GOOD CHRISTIAN I CANNOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE. JONATHAN, MY GOD JONATHAN HELP ME PLEASE. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
Jonathan Rainbow:
Mister Mc.Grandy, I know it hurts like hell. Maybe losing my best friend, who do I turn to when I want to nag about the weather and try all the restaurants in the neighborhood? It looks like I have taken life for granted and our friendship. Why, why, why,
Mister Mc.Grandy:
Now we are both crying our lungs out. We have to be strong for him. What came over me? I never get mad that easily and my emotions drawn out of me. It was you Jonathan. You made me feel secure. Yes, you made an old man feel secure. Secure enough to show his emotions. I really love my wife but what you just did. Thank you for being there for me and my son. You two never got married.
Jonathan Rainbow:
I guess we never thought about it.
We better get inside before they miss us and
hot coffee is waiting.
