Hi. This is the Finnigan home.
:05:04
We can't get to
the phone right now,
:05:07
so leave a message
after the beep.
:05:11
"Oh, somewhere in
this favored land...
:05:13
"the sun is shining bright...
:05:16
"the band is playing
somewhere...
:05:19
"and somewhere
hearts are light.
:05:22
"And somewhere
men are laughing...
:05:25
"and somewhere children shout...
:05:29
"but there is no joy
in Mudville...
:05:32
mighty Casey has struck out."
:05:38
You still resent my not being
in the hospital with you, don't ya?
:05:41
No, I don't.
I don't even remember.
:05:43
Yeah, you do.
:05:46
You know it, uh...
it wasn't my decision.
:05:49
Things had gotten so out of hand between
your mother and me by then that I...
:05:53
Hell, I didn't want to be in
your room and make it worse.
:05:56
I don't even remember
the hospital.
:05:58
I remember, uh,
the car flippin' over...
:06:01
and gettin' washed away.
:06:05
That's about it.
:06:09
I did something that day
that I'd never done in my life.
:06:16
I didn't tell your mother
the truth.
:06:19
Called in sick, and then I left
like I was going to work.
:06:22
And I didn't tell your mother
I was going over to Olla's house...
:06:24
to hook up a new fridge
and an ice maker.
:06:26
She'd have had a fit!
:06:28
I mean, even if she knew that
I was getting paid for my time...
:06:30
she would have had a fit.
:06:32
It was okay for her to help Olla.
Oh, not for me.
:06:34
See? She was very
possessive that way.
:06:37
Well, sisters are funny,
you know.
:06:39
Hell, in this case, I was happy to oblige.
I needed the extra money.
:06:43
And it was Olla's idea
not to involve your mother.
:06:45
It was Olla's idea
for me to lie.
:06:49
I figured it would take a couple hours. Then
I'll go to work, tell 'em I'm feeling better.
:06:53
Anyway, I... I told Olla
I'd be over early, and I was.
:06:56
But there was no answer.
So, uh, the... the door was open.
:06:58
I go in. I hear that she's up
in the shower. So, I holler out...
