Maybe the world is blind or just a little unkind.

You don't know.

Seems you can't be sure of anything anymore.

Guy Johnson, he should be here in a minute.

I ain't afraid of you kids, Brewster.

I'm the meanest, toughest, honorary hombre.

What's the Disney world?

I'm calling you out, Snake Eye.

your mother and kissed your horse.

Terry!

I mean shot your horse and kissed your mother.

Is it true that you gunned down your own parents when you were seven years old?

Well, stop anyway.

Now, are you girls ready for some good news?

Yeah, sure.

The circus is back in town. Anybody want to go and see it? Yeah!

Lions!

Tigers!

Trapeze artists!

When are we going?

Tomorrow. Terrific!

Perfect! I can't go.

You can't? Why not?

I just can't go, that's all.

You guys go ahead without me. But, Cherry!

You can't miss the circus.

Don't you want to see it?

Gin?

Again?

I don't believe this.

I owe you 28 bucks.

Henry, are you busy?

Not really. I'm just playing gin with this stupid dog.

He can't be too stupid. You owe him 48 bucks.

Oh, did I say 28?

I meant 48.

about how weird Cherry acted today.

Well, it's not weird to want to be by yourself once over so often.

I know, but look.

This is my diary from last year.

May 9th, Cherry disappeared.

Tomorrow is May 9th, exactly one year later.

I see your point. Do you see my point? I see your point.

So, the big question is, why does Cherry disappear?

May 9th, every year.

Think she's working for the CIA?

I can clearly doubt it. There must be a more likely explanation.

Like she's being blackmailed!

And May 9th, every year, she has to pay off the slimy, sleazy crook.

And nobody will find out her secret.

What secret?

If we knew, she wouldn't have to pay the slimy sleazy crook anymore.

I don't think that's it either.

I'm going to find out what it is. Cherry isn't my best friend, and if she's in

any kind of trouble, I have to help her.

Hunky, don't forget your diary.

I guess you didn't hear me.

so fast.

What's going on?

That's what I'd like to know.

Why have you been walking around in circles all day?

You were following me?

I was trying to.

First, you go to the park and scare away the pigeons.

I think you're keeping secret.

Can you read the card as that?

I guess, but make it fast.

I want to sharpen up my gin game and win my money back from this flea -bitten

card shark.

How much did you end up losing?

$106.

And what's worse, he insisted on cash.

I followed Cherry today and found out why she wanted to be alone.

Because the day of the day, our parents died.

Oh.

I shouldn't have forced her to tell me. I was out of line.

I see your point.

Do you see my point? I see your point.

I wonder why Cherry never mentions her parents.

She doesn't even have pictures of them up in her room.

Well, maybe it's too painful for her.

Henry, I remember when my mom abandoned me. I didn't want to talk about it, but

you kept on encouraging me.

When I finally did get out my feelings, I felt a lot better.

Well, it wouldn't hurt if you let Cherry know you're available if she does want

to talk.

I'll ask Mrs. Johnson what she thinks when she gets home.

Thanks, Henry.

You're welcome.

All right, Brandon.

Let's play gin.

Just one thing.

Since you have all my cash...

If I lose, would you carry me to Monday?

Hi, Brunkett.

Hi, Mrs. Johnson.

Are you waiting for Cherry?

No, for you.

Oh. Well, come on up, honey, and we'll talk.

No, Cherry's up there, and this is kind of private.

Why don't we sit right here?

Sitting is no sweat.

Oh, getting back up is the problem.

Tired, huh?

Exhausted. A day like today makes me wonder why I decided to stop being a

housewife and start being a nurse. Seems like I just traded dishpan hands for

bedpan hands.

Now, what's on your mind, sweetheart?

Cherry and her parents.

I found out that today's the anniversary of their death.

Well, I'm surprised that Cherry told you.

Well, she didn't exactly tell me.

She let it slip out at the top of her lungs.

Cherry was devastated when she lost her mom and dad in that car accident.

So it's hard for her to talk about them?

She never talks about them.

Not even to me.

In fact, she's never gone to the cemetery.

Everybody handles grief in their own way.

I cried for months when I lost my son and daughter -in -law.

But Cherry's kept all her sorrow and pain inside.

I don't think that's good.

I wish she could find a way to let it out.

Hey.

What's going on?

Oh, nothing, honey.

Punky and I were just chewing the fat.

me know you're bouncing his head.

Punky, I'm sorry I yelled at you.

No, I was wrong to follow you. It was all my fault.

That's true.

Want to walk and talk?

Sure.

Who do we talk about?

Your parents.

if you want him.

I'm a good listener.

I love you.

Slow night.

They're all slow around here.

What do you say we grab a couple of winks?

Why not?

None of these folks are going to tell on us.

Besides, there are signs all over the place saying, rest in peace.

I don't know if I can do this.

Look, if you won't, we'll go home right now.

Okay, but I think you'll feel a lot better once you talk to your mom and

After all, you never said goodbye to them.

Hi, Dad.

It's me, Cherry.

I brought you some flowers for moms, lilies, and tulips for

you, Mom.

I remembered how you always loved tulips.

Looks like you guys got a great spot here.

Really pretty.

How do you like heaven?

Do you live in an apartment?

Or do you have your own cloud?

Have you met any famous dead people?

introduce me?

Mom, Dad, this is my best friend, Monkey Brewster.

Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.

I'm sure I have a terrific daughter.

Smart and pretty.

Everybody at school likes her.

Except for Lane Simons.

Because you stole her boyfriend.

I did not.

He put a rubber spider in my lunchbox, so I hit him with a water balloon.

The next thing I know, he's telling everybody he loves me.

Boys.

Well, it was nice to meet you.

You're my best to God, okay?

I don't know what to say.

Just say what you feel.

much I want to tell you.

I hardly know where to start.

Oh, Mom, I've been trying to eat my vegetables, but it's hard sometimes.

Every time I even look at a Brussels sprout, I gag.

Dad, remember how you wish you had gone to college to become an architect?

Well, that's what I decided I'm going to do when I grow up.

and design big, beautiful buildings.

And Grandma says I have a decent shot because I'm good at drawing.

Are you still around?

Jerry?

Jerry?
