THE TWO OF YOU
page JANUARY Yeah? HANK …You have my sisters eyes. JANUARY Do I? HANK Yeah. You do. Remarkably. And, now my nieces have those eyes, both my nieces. See, when we were younger…people said we looked alike. We did look alike. My sister and I. Less now. She hasn’t gained quite as many pounds. We looked alike. Mostly, right around…those eyes. And mouth, too, lips, I guess. Not that I’m not still in denial about it. But, it’s a thing that’s so possible, that…I don’t know what. …You got stuck with a few of my features. JANUARY Did I? HANK You can’t tell? JANUARY Mom says maybe I did. HANK They look better on you, though. Those features. Which is merciful. I just don’t think I’d make the most attractive woman. JANUARY …You’re not even the most attractive man. HANK That’s not funny. JANUARY It kind of is. HANK Yeah. That’s true. …So, you’re January…Ireland? JANUARY Yeah. My mom’s name. HANK Sure. JANUARY Actually—… No, nothing. |
