okay.
john, that was two months ago.
you thought.
my car is gone, john.
what do you want me to say? that it's fine? alright, it's fine.
sit down, honey. eat some breakfast.
enough about that. you're not going to school without breakfast. now eat. both of you.
no, i can't.
alright, alright. get your books. you're going to be late.
give me a ride to work?
i don't want to play. you guys always make fun of me.
okay.
dashboard.
what? no good? okay. okay. hold on.
antenna.
see. that's why i don't play.
he's hopeless.
let's go, orioles!
hey, pitcher! hey, pitcher!
hey, ump, you're blind! i hate this pitcher. how old is he, anyway?
mike?! mikey, can you hear me?
what's the matter with him?
for godsakes, can't the forms wait?
hi, sweetheart.
what's all this?
what would that mean?
he's nine.
i don't understand. we were just with him. he seemed fine.
oh my god.
no. i've only been working at the market a short time. you need to be there two years before you get benefits.
how much does a transplant cost?
what kind of down payment?
our son is upstairs dying and all you can talk about is money?
what little we have is already used up.
welfare? we both have jobs.
they're releasing him.
dr. turner just left. they're sending mike home in the morning.
it doesn't matter. they're releasing him.
yeah, you always take care of it. but it's never enough, is it? you need to do something, john. do you hear me? do something.
what's that?
and those?
gosh, it seems like so much.
what for?
pain?
yeah. he's coming.
i don't know, sweetheart. i don't know.
this is my fault. when the hospital told me they were releasing mikey, i was furious. i yelled at john to do something, anything. i never thought.
no. heavens, no. he's gentle. he's sweet. he wouldn't hurt a fly.
hey, what is this? i get what's going on here. you want me to tell you something you can use to hurt my husband.
let's get something straight, mister. you can't use me to make a case against john. i support my husband. whatever he does. i'm on his side. not yours.
you, don't talk to me. i'd tell you what i think of you but i'm a christian woman. now you people leave me alone. i have a sick child to look after.
really.
oh, thank you. thank you so much.
john?
hi, baby. we're on the list!
payne was just here. mike's name is on the list. you did it.
not so good, baby. he looks like he's going away.
they've done everything they can but he keeps getting worse and worse. oh my god, our poor baby.
you know, sometimes i think he's an angel. a real angel, sent down to keep us company for a while.
are you praying for him? are you praying for our boy?
oh my god, what are we going to do?
maybe we should let him go. maybe it's meant to be and we should accept it.
i don't know what else to think. the priest keeps coming. he wants to give him last rites.
okay, baby. i'll believe.
to see your father.
let me through. i'm his mother.
is this for real?
john? it's me, baby. are you there?
john, honey? pick up.
john? john? oh, no.
john! it's a miracle! they found a heart! it's a miracle!!!
no!
a year, huh? i could have lost you forever. i guess i can live with that.
john? i'm proud of you.
