On Thanksgiving, an important holiday in the United States, the Carter siblings sent out a formal invitation early, and Martin specially ordered a roast turkey.
In the afternoon, Elena prepared dinner in advance. Martin called Harris and they went to the restaurant to pick up the roast turkey.
In the car, Harris talked about the star business: "I recruited a partner, and he helped create the official website of the Atlantic Astronomical Association. All customers who purchase stars can check the corresponding records on the website in the future." Martin Agree: "You are very thoughtful, which can increase the trust of customers." Harris said: "This month's performance increased by 100%, and the Astronomical Association sold 24 stars. Martin, I converted part of your income into shares Inside, you sign the agreement later." He mentioned it several times. Seeing his insistence, Martin responded: "I'll sign it when I get back." The two took roast turkey, pumpkin pie, chocolate pie and other desserts and returned to Carter. Home.
Entering the living room, Martin found that the atmosphere was not right. Lily and Hall seemed to have cried, and Elena was sullen and silent.
After reading a book, he put down his lunch box and asked, "What happened?" Lily lowered her head and said, "Emma just called."
"Which Emma?" Martin didn't react immediately. Emma has been missing from his life for the past six months.
Elena said: "Emma Carter, Scott's wife, my mother, your father's lover." Martin's head went around eighteen turns, this relationship was messy.
He asked: "Emma is back? Where is Jack?" Lily shouted: "Asshole Jack abandoned Emma!" Martin looked at Elena.
"Emma called from Hawaii. Jack took all her money." Elena had a very complicated mood: "Then he disappeared." Martin thought of the important question: "She didn't borrow a loan shark, did she?"
"No." Elena motioned for Martin to follow him out. When the two came to the yard, she said, "I will go to the bank tomorrow to transfer $200 to her, and then book her a ticket from Hawaii to Atlanta." She lowered her voice. Voice: "I can't trust her, but it's better for Lily and Hall to have a mother." Martin grabbed her arm and suggested again: "Now that Emma is back, will you go to Los Angeles with me?" Outside the wooden fence of Fake Earth, Scott swayed over with his legs crossed, holding a bottle of tequila without a cap in his hand.
Elena looked at Scott and said: "I may go to Los Angeles in a few years, but I can't go now. Emma and Scott combined will destroy them." This is a very contradictory psychology, which requires both Parents, you have to guard against your parents.
Scott entered the yard and said: "What are you two losers doing here? Are you ready for Thanksgiving dinner?" Elena glared at him: "It's Thanksgiving today, don't force me to drive you away." She went back to make dinner.
Martin specifically reminded Scott: "Tonight is a holiday, so don't say a few words." Scott was not drunk and high, so he responded: "I will try my best." After entering the house, Martin went to help Elena.
Scott found a place to sit down, but no one wanted to talk to him, so he could only drink alone. The dinner was very sumptuous. In addition to the turkey and dessert that Martin bought, Elena also made macaroni, mashed potatoes, vegetable salad and honey-glazed ham.
Everyone was sitting around the dining table, and Scott wanted to get the knife and fork to divide the roasted turkey. Elena took the lead and took the knife and fork.
Martin roughly understood that this seemed to represent the head of the family. Dinner was very silent, not as lively as before, and even Lily didn't want to talk.
After dinner, Sister Elena cleared the table, and Martin took a bottle of beer and went out to sit on the steps, thinking about his upcoming trip to Los Angeles.
In more than half a year in Atlanta, Martin gained not only key connections and qualifications, but also more important money.
I didn’t have enough money, so I had to work part-time in Los Angeles. Martin now has $130,000 from Equal Rights Kettle and $150,000 from Zombie Gigolo.
For daily expenses, the salary of a social investigator of the Women's Association is sufficient. The door suddenly opened, and Lily also came out carrying a bottle of beer and sat next to Martin.
She touched Martin's with the wine bottle, took a sip, and said, "It's not as delicious as the foam beauty you made, although it looks like what you released..." Martin stared at her.
Lily was very self-conscious and stretched out her head: "You go ahead and hit her." Martin pushed her head back and said, "If you don't mess around, Elena will be 50% easier." Lily didn't seem to understand: " You sound like Harris." Martin drank his beer slowly.
Lily rummaged through her pocket, took out a crystal star, and handed it to Martin: "You are going to Los Angeles and become a star to defeat those bastards. I hope you will remember that there is a girl named Lily Carter in Atlanta in the future." Martin borrowed it. He turned on the lights in the yard and looked carefully at the blue stars: "Did you do this?"
"All handmade." Lily gestured: "You forgot, I also made the equal rights kettle." Martin accepted it: "Thank you for your lucky stars." But Lily's words were hidden behind: "It will make you lucky enough. , contracted AIDS while selling crappy stuff." Martin was so angry that he wanted to hit someone with a beer bottle.
Lily stood up: "I have to go back and review my homework."
"Are you reviewing your homework?" Martin was quite surprised.
"Don't look down on people." Lily walked back, but the words still came out: "If I work hard, I can skip the grade and get admitted to a school in Los Angeles early." This girl said some unreliable things all day long, and Martin was too lazy to distinguish the truth from the lies.
After drinking a bottle of beer, Martin felt someone staring at him from behind. When he turned around, Scott was leaning against the wall at the door.
"Asshole, I'm warning you for the last time." Scott was about to go back to the grocery store, came to Martin, and said: "Your father, Jack, kidnapped my wife, and you kidnapped my eldest daughter. I hold my nose to admit it." You dare to trick my little daughter..." He raised the tequila bottle in his hand: "I will stuff it into your butt!" Martin pointed outside: "Go back to bed quickly, be careful of the old gangster on the way. Grab it." Scott's heart was aroused and he was cautious along the way, especially before opening the door, he took out the bright flashlight he bought specially to illuminate the dark place.
Martin went into the house and spoke to Elena, then went back to pack his luggage. He didn't have any large items. He put his clothes and some daily necessities into the suitcase and could set off early tomorrow morning.
Just when she was about to rest, Elena came over. After the two of them violently tossing the old wooden bed, it finally couldn't bear it and collapsed.
Martin had to drag the mattress out and throw it on the floor. The two of them were so noisy that James in the backyard almost crawled out of the ground.
Martin picked up the car keys on the wooden floor and threw them to Elena: "It's yours."
"I'll leave for now." Elena has always been simple and direct: "I won't see you off tomorrow. You can find a way to get to the airport by yourself." Martin took out his mobile phone and called Bruce: "Brother, get up early tomorrow and see me off." Airport." A strange voice came from the receiver, and Bruce roared: "You stinking piece of shit, can't you make calls during the day?"
"You go on." Martin hung up the phone. Elena had been listening in front of the phone and couldn't help laughing: "Old Boo is a pervert." Martin said: "Old Boo has the potential to become a perverted murderer." Early the next morning, Bruce drove his new car to pick up Martin.
Harris helped lift the suitcase and put it into Bruce's car. Elena ran home, took out the new mobile phone she forgot last night, and gave it to Martin.
There was not much sadness about parting, and with modern transportation and low-cost airlines, it was not difficult to travel between Los Angeles and Atlanta.
Bruce drove out of the Clayton community and asked: "Think about it, what else haven't you brought?" Martin smiled: "As long as you bring money, what can't you buy?" Bruce accelerated the car: "Atlanta is without you. This stinking piece of shit will be a little more peaceful." Martin shot back: "It would be a lot more peaceful without a civilized person like you." Bruce didn't take it seriously: "Man, you can go and harm Californians as much as you want, and destroy the gays and lesbians there. Get down with all the cheats, drug addicts, perverts and the like. You have to believe in yourself, you have enough bad ideas and bad methods!" Martin replied: "I can't solve it, so I will definitely call you, a civilized person. "The two arrived at Atlanta International Airport, and Bruce took Martin all the way to the security checkpoint.
Martin gets ready to line up. Bruce patted him hard on the shoulder: "You're going to wallow in the stinky quagmire of Hollywood, man, and don't lose to drugs and alcohol." Martin still said the same thing: "Civilized people, don't die, I won't I will answer your funeral call." Bruce waved his hand: "Let's go." Martin passed the security check and came to the boarding gate, sat down and waited for a while, and Benjamin and Catherine rushed over together.
Catherine is very beautifully dressed. In terms of appearance alone, Julia Roberts cannot compare to her. The three of them were familiar with each other. Catherine had no scruples and said, "I went this time and I don't want to come back again." Martin had no need to hide it: "I also want to stay in Hollywood and develop. Maybe this is a good opportunity." About Louise -Martin hasn't really told anyone except Kelly Gray about Mel and Robert Patrick.
People like him will not give out their connections to others. Catherine continued to dream about Hollywood.
In contrast, Benjamin is more conservative: "I will complete the contract with Gray Company and then decide where to develop." The good news of the large-scale release of "Zombie Gigolo" continues to stimulate Catherine's nerves: "If the film can be smaller With a small fire, will I have a chance to get a big role? This is where Julia Roberts boarded the plane to become a superstar." Benjamin reminded: "You are a little too excited and have too many fantasies." The radio sounded a warning to board the plane, and Martin greeted the two people: "Get on the plane." He boarded the plane along the boarding aisle and entered the economy class. Martin's seat was next to the window, the engine was roaring, and the runway was rapidly reversing.
The passenger plane soared into the sky, and Atlanta could be seen from a high altitude. Whether you go to heaven or hell, you have to transfer from Atlanta.
