Green. They want the gelatin to be green now.

• I was told red. - New concept.

That’s the future now Green.

Oh, and they want them happier, the family.

• Happier? Happier? - Mmm.

The father looks like

he just discovered the missionary position.

Giles.

Well, what are they supposed to be happy about?

The client wanted photographs, I sold them on this.

It’s too bad. This is nice work.

It is nice, isn’t it? I think it’s one of my best.

How are you holding up? You drinking?

No, not a drop. No.

Are you getting any work since you left Klein and Saunders?

You mean since I was asked to leave by you.

We are not getting into this now.

I wanna come back, Bernie.

We’ll see. Now, do this.

I think we’re making great progress.

Good work.

Elisa.

What are you doing in there?

Cleaning, huh?

Listen, honey.

Mr. “I pee with my hands on my hips”

wants to see us both.

“Zelda D. Fuller.”

How long have you two known each other, Zelda?

About 10 years, sir.

No siblings, Zelda?

No, sir.

That’s not common, is it For your people?

My mama died after me.

After I was born.

What does that “D” stand for?

Delilah, sir.

On account of the Bible.

Delilah, she betrayed Samson.

Lulled him to sleep, cut his hair.

Philistines tortured him, humiliated him…

burned his eyes out.

Guess my mama didn’t read the good book close enough.

And you…

“Elisa Esposito.”

Doesn’t “Esposito” mean orphan?

“Our Lady of Sorrows Orphanage in Putnam.”

They found her by the river

in the water.

It was you that found my fingers.

Oh!

Thanks.

Three hours in surgery.

They rebuilt the first phalanx here…

sutured the tendons.

Don’t know if it’s gonna take or not.

There was mustard on them. A paper bag?

It was all we had, sir.

I answer mostly on account that she can’t talk.

She can’t? She deaf?

Mute, sir.

She said she can hear you.

All those scars on your neck.

That’s what did it. Cut your voice box, right?

She said since she was a baby.

Who would do that to a baby?

The world is sinful.

Wouldn’t you say so, Delilah?

Well, let me say this upfront.

You clean that lab, you get out.

The thing we keep in there is an affront.

Do you know what an affront is, Zelda?

Something offensive.

That’s right, and I should know.

I dragged that filthy thing…

out of the river muck in South America

all the way here.

And along the way,

we didn’t get to like each other much.

Now…

you may think that thing looks human.

Stands on two legs, right?

But we’re created in the Lord’s image.

You don’t think that’s what the Lord looks like, do you?

I wouldn’t know, sir, what the Lord looks like.

Well, it’s human, Zelda. He looks like a human, like me.

Or even you.

Maybe a little more like me, I guess.

That’s all.

General Hoyt, thank you for calling me back, sir.

• Feeling better? - Oh, yes, sir, much better.

Pain pills is all.

• Close the door. - You lost two fingers, was it?

Two fingers, yeah. He got two fingers.

But I still got my thumb,

my trigger, and my pussy finger.

Sounds to me like you’ll do all right then.

Yes, sir, that’s right.

Looking forward to your visit, sir.

Decisions need to be made about the asset.

Flavors of fruity pies await you.

Three new locations in downtown Baltimore.

The future is here.

Get some rest.

Pumpkin, banana…

Pick me up at 9:30.

2130 hours. Yes, sir.

That’s-a-great-a-pie.

I’m home.

I made you an omelet.

• Hey, Dad. Guess what? - No pancakes?

I’ve been through half the boxes and I can’t find the griddles.

• Guess what? - I made you a cheese and broccoli omelet.

How are you feeling? Does it hurt?

• A little bit Pills help. - Guess what?

What?

We’re burying a time capsule at the new school.

I wanted to ask you…

Do you think we’ll all have jetpacks in the future?

Believe it, son.

Oh! Bus is here.

This is America.

Bye, Dad!
