Hellmark Cards. When u care to send the worst.

Adjin and John are seated at a table as Patty enters Hemingways on the Boulevard in Seaside Heights, NJ. She waves but then realizes John is deep into some kind of rant.

John

'Well here's a greeting card idea...umm Your dad was a good guy but he had to die....happy father's day. Or here's a good one. Your dad is in a better place...where you can't hug him...but he's with God so don't let that throw you.

Patty to Adjin

'Johnny gearing up for father's day.'

Adjin

'It's ok.'

Patty

'14 more minutes and then we take a break. '

John

'No. I'm done with the Hallmark holiday. I'm gonna start a greeting card company for nasty thoughts...Hellmark...when you care to send the worst.'

Patty laughs

'Just what this world needs...more nastiness.  That's not you. John you can talk to us...'

Adjin

'Anytime. You know John...that was your dad...'

John

'Oh ya think?'

Adjin

'...and I think...you need to talk about that death.'

John

'No, I'm o.k.'

Adjin

'No you aren't. Joe the cop talked about the...scene...'

John

'Not now.'

Patty

'Then later...outside...on that bench near Barnegat Bay. The stars will be out. Your dad will be looking down on us from the heavens.'

John

'Do you know how far away the stars are?'
