Elsa:
The death of a beloved monster
is always a sorrow,

But never a surprise.

If oddly-formed organs

Or a random physical anomaly
doesn't claim them,

Then it's the sheer intensity
of their blaze.

A carny's life burns larger
and brighter than most.

It is bound
to extinguish sooner.

Paul:
Pepper.

Pepper, it's time.

It isn't salty anymore.

It's just a body.



A shell.

Elsa:
No long-lingering embers.

A life lived
to its fullest and then--

Phfft--

Nahrung fur wurmer.

Worm food.

Of course she
understands death.

Why am i the only
one in the camp

Who knows the depth of
that girl's soul, huh?

Still, salty's body is about
to give off a smell,

And she won't budge
from that bed.

Elsa:
Most pinheads die
before the age of 40.

No...

(screaming)



(sobbing)

Elsa:
Salty died in his sleep,

Right next to his soul mate.

A stroke, one presumes.

We should all go that way.

And my sweet pepper,

She never mistreated him

Or took advantage
of his moronic nature.

Ugh, he was so stupid.

Und i worked so hard with him.

Flash cards, and...

Brain teasers.

All to no avail.

Not like pepper.

She could communicate.

He was a grunter.

Crude and moronic.

(chuckles)

But she was absolutely
devoted to him.

What is that look?

Hmm?

I want you to take
a good look at your face.

Tell me what you see.

Cold cream.

No, that's the face
of suffering.

That's the face
of a woman overwhelmed

With too much worry
and responsibility.

All i have
left is worry.

You know what,
richard?

I want you
out of here.
Ah.

Out of this camp.

Elsa, dearest lady.

What's this?

This is the telegram
we've been waiting for.

This came
this morning.

The head of the network wants
to meet with us in three weeks.

What does he want me to do?

All he wants you
to do is to rest.

You know, get
your beauty rest.

Huh.

Look, i have a
source who tells me

That a slot is
opening up soon--

Friday night, 8:00.

After perry como?

Elsa.
No, i mean...

You have to understand,
you-you've...

No, no. Yes,
i know, i know.

It's just that
i've waited so long.

I don't know
what to say.

Which is precisely
why you have to listen to me

When i tell you
that all this tragedy

That you've experienced has,
frankly, taken its toll on you.

You need to rest.

But my pepper.

No, she needs me now.

Which is why you need me

To take care of her.

Just as i have so rigorously
taken care of you.

We will have a
splendid cremation.

And i will present dear pepper
with his ashes in an urn

Inlaid with-with
mother-of-pearl.

No. No.
And she could always
keep him close.

No!

No.

She will want
a proper burial.

Perfumed shrouds.

Elsa.

What?

I have worked miracles
for you.

I have made
your dreams come true.

Let me take care
of the body.

What must a man do
to earn your trust?

¶ ¶

"'wasn't i real before?'
asked the little rabbit.

"'you were real to the boy,'
the fairy said,

"'because he loved you.

"now you shall be real
to everyone.'

"and she held the little rabbit
close in her arms

And flew with him
to the wood."

That's beautiful, dessi.

You're gonna make
a great mom someday.

Can i talk to you
for a second?

Shh...

I've made mistakes.

I haven't been
the best husband to you,

But i want
another chance.

You saved
my life, dessi.

And you saved mine.

You don't owe
me anything.

But we've put
too many years

Into this thing
to just quit now.

We both deserve a shot
at happiness, dell.

And i could never
make you happy.

Truly happy.

(pepper groans)

Now go on now.

You're making
her upset.

(groaning intensifies)

All right, pepper.

All right, i
got to go.

No, no. I can't
now, pepper.

Okay, look.

I've got to go put
my face on for the show.

But we can finish reading
after curtain.

Stay...

I can't, baby.

The show must go on.

Stay! Stay! Stay!

Stay!

(screams)
stay...!

(sobs)

You finished?

Hmm?

Good.

Now you clean
all this shit up.

Mm.

How is our little pinhead?

She won't eat.

And she just turned
her tent upside down.

Yes. Poor girl.

It was an old emptiness
salty filled for her.

Schnapps?

Sure.

Sit down.

And her fit came
when you tried to leave, no?

(laughs gently)
how did you know?

Well...

We all fear that we will
end up alone,

That love will
be pulled from us.

But it is even
stronger for pepper.

She has known nothing but
abandonment her entire life.

Until i found her, of course.

Prost!

Gesundheit.

Well, what will we do
when you leave for hollywood?

Hmm?
(chuckles)

I mean, ma petite,
salty, then you?

That girl may throw herself
from the top

Of the ferris wheel
from grief.

Well, we can't
let that happen.

We'll have to find a way
to rouse her spirits.

You know, i came to
this country in 1936.

Hitler had already made it
plenty unpleasant

For artists in berlin.

There was little work
for an émigré.

There was little work
for anyone, really,

Unless you wanted
to build a dam or highway.

So i found myself
with the gypsies,

The carny folk, in boston.

My english wasn't good enough
to headline, yet,

So i suffered through
being a chorus girl

Behind lesser talents.
(woman cries out)

Still, i made my way to the top
of the heap quickly.

(panicked shouting)

They called me
the teutonic chanteuse.

But i don't like working
for other people.

I need to be in charge.

To have my own show.

(groans)
the circus owners were morons.

Ring leader:
I don't want any freaks.

They could not see the future.

I knew there was a war coming.

The boys would be sent off to
fight, the women put to work,

And who would be left
to get on stage

And make them laugh or cry
or forget their worries?

The freaks.

So i decided to start
my own collection of oddities.

The idea was simple--

They would come for the freaks,
but stay for the star.

But where to find my pets?

Most people don't see beauty
in someone like pepper.

They see shame.

They see human garbage.

So i went to the place where
people throw other people away.

(bell tolling)

An orphanage.

(children shouting playfully)

(door closes)

¶ ¶

(laughs)

She never knew her father.

Her mother died.

Her sister loved her but simply
could not handle the burden.

Orphanages don't usually
take 18-year-olds,

But pepper had the mind
of a child.

I offered to adopt her,
but since she was of legal age

They just let us
leave together.

I think they were worried
i might change my mind.

But how could i?

I loved her.

My first monster.

Adoration, affection,
idolization-- i am a performer,

I had felt them all in droves.

But when this strange-looking
little one looked at me,

It was the first time i had
ever felt unconditional love.

(birds chirping)

(applause, cheering)

I knew,
after her first performance,

That she was a keeper.

¶ ¶

My collection grew.

I took great pride
in mothering my troupe.

Most of them knew
nothing of the world,

Save for how to survive in it.

But i could tell that none
of my teaching or attention

Was going to make
my firstborn happy.

She was a woman now

And she had maternal needs.

But she couldn't possibly
be allowed to breed.

Little did i know that
the answer to my prayers

Would arrive a few weeks later
from the far east.

(indian music playing)

Suryamohan bahadur was

The maharaja of kapurthala.

The maharaja was
touring the u.S.

He was a slave to the british,

But he was
the richest slave on earth.

He traveled with an entourage--

Footmen, concubines, eunuchs...

And one tiny miracle.

I needed her,

But he could not be moved.

(speaking native language)

Aide:
The maharaja says
the girl is a dalit.

An untouchable.
To trade her

For anything would assume
the raj has given her value.

He would take it as
a personal insult.

She is his
favorite pet.

He would never
part with her.

(insects trilling outside)

Elsa:
He finally caved in

When i offered him three cases.

Dr. Pepper.

Sweet irony, no?

I had never
seen pepper so happy.

(laughs)

Her maternal needs
were fulfilled.

And yet, she wanted more.

She needed a husband.

A spiritual husband.

I wrote to every orphanage
in the country.

Six months later,

A home for wayward boys
in cincinnati wrote back.

It was love at first sight.

(joyous dance tune playing)

(movie projector clicking)

I officiated the wedding,
obviously.

It was a magical affair.

Simple... The bride and groom

Knew six words between them,

But it was deeply moving.

¶ ¶

They raised ma petite
as their own child.

And i was their
fairy godmother.

Theirs was a love story
for the ages.

They never hurt a soul,

Never sinned.

Pure spirits.

That girl...

Lost everyone she loved.

You got to find out if
her sister is still around.

I mean, pepper is not
the handful she used to be.

She's a grown woman, now.

Useful.

Maybe you're right.

(exhales)

Perhaps it's time
for our little angel...

(sighs)

...To go back home.

(insects trilling)

(laughing)

Maggie... (giggles)
you remember angus?

Hello, ma'am.

Nice to make
your acquaintance.

We want to have...
I know exactly what you want.

Welcome to mystic esmeralda's
temple of destiny.

Have a seat.

(gasps)

Maggie:
Fine tall drink of water,
there, desiree.

Where'd you round him up?
Desiree:
You remember that evening

When i was showin' off
the new dance craze?

¶ mamba, baby ¶

(cheering, whistling)

¶ tonight ¶

¶ you turned darkness... ¶

Angus:
I knew right then and there,

My days as a confirmed bachelor

Were over.
(giggles)

I had to make
her mine.
Ooh...

(laughs)
mmm...

So...

Tell us...

What do you see
in our future?

You're a traveler.

A salesman,
roaming door-to-door.

Why, yes.

That's right.

Jefferson's floor wax

Make your home
shiny and new.

(both laughing)

Ooh, hush, now.

Oh, let's get to
the good stuff.

You're a romantic.

A dreamer.

I see you two lovebirds

Starting a new beginning.

Somewhere out west.

Oh, a small house...

A white picket fence...

Oh, that's
right, angus.

Mama needs a picket,

And the picket
better be white.

Oh, whatever you want,
baby, you got it.

Well, how many kids
we gonna have?

Ooh, kids!

(laughing)

Then... Everything goes to shit,

Because that's what happens.

You'll start to...
Despise each other.

There's no joy.

There's no hope.

It guts you, ripping you apart,
piece by piece,

Until one day, you find yourself

Standing in a kitchen,
heating up tar

And gripping
a pillow.

Angus, i think
i've had enough

Of the fairy tales
for one evening.

Maggie's had
a long day.

Let's you and me
go get some ice cream.

I'm a god-fearing
christian.

I don't believe

In this sorcery
stuff, anyway.

It doesn't matter
what you believe.

It all ends the same.

Let's get
out of here.

(coins clatter)

(metallic creaking)

Desiree:
Hey!

Miss sunshine
and roses!

What was that
back there?

You weren't
telling my future.

You were
telling your own.

Your man is rotting in a cell

And here you are,

Full of whiskey
and self-pity.

That's right.

There's nothing
i can do for him.

And i'll let you in
on a little secret:

I'm no fortune-teller.

I could've told
you that, sugar.

We're on the grift.

Me and stanley.

"mr. Spencer" is not
a hollywood talent scout.

He's not?

We're business partners.

Have been for years.

Maggie:
Paper! Get your paper!

Who wants a paper?

Kansas city star!

Paper?

(watch ticking)

Get your paper!

Kansas city star!

Paper, paper!

I caught you,
you little scamp.

Show me what's under
your coat. Come on.
Get your hands off me,

You pervert.
Stanley:
Officer!

Officer, please. Please.

Forgive my boy.

He just got a part

In the stage production
of oliver twist.

Now, he's come
from such privilege

That he wanted to see
what it felt like

To be poor
and hungry.

Maggie:
Stanley didn't think

I was so convincing.

Offered to make me his partner

For ten cents on the dollar.

That was big money
for me, back then.

So, your parents...

They just let you
go off with this man?

I didn't have parents.

Not really.

I had to fend for myself, and...

Well, stanley fed me,

Kept me out of the rain.

And he never laid
a finger on me.

So you all
are criminals?

What could you
possibly want

With a bunch of
freaks like us?

We're fleecing your customers.

When the lights go down,
we pick their pockets.

Oh, you all came down here
to jupiter, florida,

To pick a bunch
of pockets?

I wasn't born
on a farm,

But i do know bullshit
when i smell it,

And i gotta say...
That is some bullshit.

Go to hell, triple tits.

Come to think of it...

Been a lot of trouble
around here

Since you two showed up.

Lot of freaks been dying.

Ma petite and ethel,

Now salty.

I killed 'em all.
Every last one of them.

Is that what you want to hear?

You listen to me,
little girl,

And you listen good.

Now, you can tell me
anything you want,

But don't let me find out

That you and
your weasel friend

Had anything to do
with hurting our kind,

Or i will kill you dead.

Now, are we clear?

We've been looking
everywhere for you.

Well, gold star for you,

'cause here i am.
Bette:
We want to help.

Dot and i don't
have much.

We were saving
for something,

But our plans
have changed.

We want you to have it.

Use this money

To get jimmy a proper lawyer.

Let me get this straight:

You want me to use
your hard-earned pennies

To save
jimmy.
Mm-hmm
.

Do it
yourself.

Maybe he'll even reward you

With a big, fat kiss.

Dot:
I'm going to punch her
in the face.

Bette:
Don't let her get to you.

Let me handle this.

People don't
always take

Too kindly to us
at first glance.

You can be
his champion,

Like margaret o'sullivan
in let us live,

Crusading to save
henry fonda.

I hate to break it to you,

But life is not like
the movies,

You simple-minded idiot.

Don't you talk
about my sister like that!

Jimmy thinks you walk on water,

But you don't fool me.

You are a phony.

And you don't
really love jimmy.

Because when you love someone,
they come first.

Oh, brother.

Next you'll be telling me
that love conquers all.

How can you be so cold?

Jimmy could end up
like meep.

Is that what you want?

You do right by jimmy.

Darling, you got a visitor.

Oh... It's you.

Stanley (scoffs):
Who were you hoping to see,

Mickey mantle?

I'm sorry. It's...

It's nice of you to come.

Listen.

I know exactly
what you're feeling.

I...

I lost my mother
when i was young.

Suddenly i was all
alone in the world.

An orphan.

And i got into some trouble.

Well, not the kind
of trouble you're in.

Listen, jimmy, jimmy, jimmy.

Did you do it?

I...

I...

I don't know. I don't know.

I've been over it
and over it in my head.

I had too much to drink.

I was in a rage about my ma,
my life, everything.

But from the moment
i got to the house,

Till the moment
i woke up here

Is just black.

So you admit you were there?

I couldn't have done it.

I-i didn't kill them.

Did i?

I don't think you did.

That's why i'm here.

I am gonna get you the best
lawyer money can buy.

You've no doubt heard
of clarence darrow.

The mo... The monkey trial?
Isn't he dead?

Yeah, but the apple doesn't
fall far from the tree.

His son donald is an
absolutely brilliant attorney.

I've made some inquiries.

He's interested in your case.

But from now on,

You got to shut up.

The only talking you're
gonna do is to your lawyer.

I don't know....

I don't know how to thank you.

(laughs)

You don't owe me a thing.

But, you know, that attorney,

That's a different matter.

He's going to want a retainer.

I don't have any money.

Well, what about ethel's estate?

She leave you anything?

I don't have anything
of value to give you,

Mr. Spencer.

Shit!

(snapping)

I might have an idea about

How to raise the funds.

Okay, beef chuck.

Arm, shoulder or blade.

Salt.

Pepper.

Flour.

Onions.

Ah... Horseradish.

Carrots and potatoes.

Thank you.

I mean, it's just
a goddamn pot roast, right?

How hard can it be?

Say it isn't so. Huh.

Toughest woman i know and now
you want to be betty crocker?

Damn straight.

If i'm gonna be a homemaker,

I can't let my babies starve.

My mother taught
all my sisters how to cook,

But she never taught me.

Maybe she saw your
potential elsewhere.

Girl... Don't butter me up.

Hmm? I haven't forgotten
what you told me.

And i haven't decided what
i'm gonna do about it yet.

But believe you me...

I want to do
the right thing for once.

That's why i'm here.

We can't talk here.

Just follow me.

I want to help jimmy.

Good. Get him a lawyer.

I need you to trust me.
Trust you?

Ha! That's a laugh.

Everyone in this entire camp
will be dead soon

Unless you listen to me.

I know how to help everyone.

Jimmy and the freaks
all at once.

I just have to connect the dots.

Place blame where it's due.

Put the real villain
away forever.

I don't like riddles!
Never have.

Listen!

I know you want to

Ride off into the sunset
with your prince charming

And your pot roasts, but

I need you to help me first.

There's something
i need you to see.

Good coffee.

Fresh brewed?

It's sanka.

My husband has trouble sleeping.

I understand.
I have, too, lately.

So much change.

I think she is
happy to see you.

Hi, pepper.

She doesn't never talk.

Uh...

She probably remembers me

Leaving her at the orphanage.

Elsa:
Yes.

Where i had the great
good fortune of finding her.

Is that right?
Hmm?

Well...

Well.

I couldn't keep her.

I told myself, rita,
you will never meet a man

And have a children if i have

To look after
a dim-witted sister.

I... I always wanted the babies.

Of course.

We all have our dreams,
don't we?

And where are they now--
your children--

Are they at school?

No, i didn't have any.

'cause i had piped clogs.

What?

Clogged pipes.

Something. I don't know.

I just couldn't have any.

Oh, well, so much the better.

She will be
great company for you.

And no trouble at all.

I have taught her words.

And responsibility.

How to care for others.

Even how to make a
stiff singapore sling.

You enjoy cocktails,
mrs. Gayhart?

I do.
Mm-hmm.

I love many cocktails.

But, miss mars,

What am i supposed
to tell larry my husband?

I mean, he don't
even know she exists.

Well, you tell him
that you have a lovely sister,

Which is true.

And then you tell him

That she has come
to live with you.

No, i just can't do that.

You can and you must.

This is your sister.

Now, you may think
that i'm leaving you a burden,

But i am not.

Pepper is a gift.

A soul so pure

It's rare in this world.

You're right.
I know you're right.

Larry's gonna hit the roof.

Well, stand up to him!

Pepper has suffered
great losses.

And i fear

That she will perish
from loneliness

And a broken heart

If she does not have

Someone who loves her.

Okay.

I guess she can help me
around here.

I'll go make up
the castro convertible.

He's gonna have conniptions.

That room's his study.

Uh, 'cause of all the
studying and everything,

The study stuff.

Stay.

No, darling.

No, my darling.

No.

I cannot stay.

I cannot stay, my darling.

Well...

You and i've known each other

A very long time.

And i understand you
even without words.

I know all you ever wanted

Was a family.

So, you just remember

No matter how far away i am,

I will always be your family.

Now, here. Here, my darling,

Is a kiss

From me to you.

If you get lonely,

You hold it to your cheek

And i'll be there, okay?

Listen.

Your sister
doesn't know you yet.

She may make mistakes.

She may hurt your feelings.

But you must forgive her.

She's a good person.

And she is trying, okay?

Now, say good-bye.

(whimpering)
no, no, no, no.

No crying.
(laughs)

Because if you cry
then i will cry

And then what will
happen to my mascara?

Huh?

(door opens)

(door closes)

The american morbidity museum?

Why we got to travel all this
way for skeletons and such?

Because i need
a witness to this

In case something happens to me
when stanley's called out.

All this here is
because of him?

Lillian:
And another recent acquisition

Of which we're very proud--

A male died from natural causes.

Sweet jesus!
And as you can see, the skull

Is a classic representation
of microcephaly.

He got paid $3,000
for ma petite's body.

That's why he had her killed.

Wha...?

Lillian:
We removed the brain
of the specimen

And found the weight
of the organ to be 33%

Lighter than that
of a normal adult male.

Shall we?

Lillian:
And this is our newest exhibit.

It's just arrived today.

It is a perfect
example of a rare

Congenital defect known as

Ectrodactyly.

Commonly referred to

As lobster hands.

No...

I gave it everything.

We both did, me and larry.

But i guess
that genes are genes.

Woman:
Uh-huh.

Like my uncle charlie says,

"a goat's a goat
and not a chicken."

But god loves us all.

I...

I added that last part
about god.

So, next question.

"reason for patient's
confinement."

Can you tell me
when the problem started?

Well i'd wanted a baby
ever since i met larry,

But i'd given up.

And then two weeks
before my 50th,

Your god plays a big ol' joke.

I wake up in the
middle of the night

With the worst stomachache.

Larry rushes me to the hospital,

And they tell me,
"mrs. Gayhart,

You're having the labor pains."

12 hours of crazy later,

They hand me
little lucas.

N-not to be rude,
but, um...

You're a little...

Mature...

To be having a baby,
aren't you?

God doesn't always
give with both hands.

Now, lucas was different
than your normal baby.

He was...

Deformed.

But to us

He was our perfect
little miracle.

(baby crying)

"trouble started

"when baby is born

To patient's
guardians."

Then what?

Well, due to the difficult
delivery, and my age,

I was stuck to my bed.

(baby crying)

At first, pepper was
eager to help out.

I thought--
well, she's not too bright,

But she just might have
the mothering instinct.

Pepper,

Make me another
martini?

(baby fussing)

Mm... Can't you
take him with you?

Well, turns out,
she had a few other instincts.

(baby crying)

Like sneaking gin,
which we only keep around

For guests who might enjoy
a cocktail.

Pepper?

What's taking so long?!

(baby crying)

Oh...

Pepper?

Shh...

(baby crying)

Ooh, ca...
Ooh, w-whoa...

You're spilling it.

Where's the
little onion?

Oh, for christ's sake,

Set it down
on the nightstand.

Set it down.

(baby crying)

Ugh.
(baby continues to cry)

(moans)

Ugh.

(door opens)

Jesus christ!

If there was some way
you could make money

Off of that freak's screams
or that thing's face,

We'd be millionaires.

Just take
the baby downstairs.

You and him can
watch the tv.

(crying continues)

The tv.

(with slow cadence): Do you
know how to turn on the tv?

Larry:
Come on, get up.

Come on, come on,
we're going downstairs.

Let's go!

And then there was
the obsession with my husband.

Scheming ways
to get alone with him.

I'll show her.

You just can't wait
to get alone with her, can you?

Some women just
shouldn't have kids.

Pretty soon, she's walking
around without any clothes on.

Bare-ass naked.

Can you believe it?

"obsessed...

With husband."

Truthfully,

A lot of our patients
here, they...

They suffer with a, um...

...A lack of inhibition.

But the... The shock
therapy helps with that.

And the... And
the caning helps, too.

Well, do they help with
the killer's instinct?

'cause that's
what she has.

She's a murderer.

My very own sister.

Oh, dear.

Oh...

Oh, no.

I-i-i... Um...

I-i need to ask you

To describe exactly
what happened.

(sighs)

Well, thankfully, neither of us
actually saw what happened.

Where do you think
you're going?

I thought we should
go to the lamplight.

Have some steaks.

Have a bottle
of wine.

(laughing)

Like real people.

Aren't you afraid that
mongoloid with the baby?

Might drop it on its head
and kill it.

Which wouldn't be
the worst thing to happen.

I don't want to
talk about them.

Listen, rita.

Ah-la-la-la-la-la, la!
Rita, rita.

Rita, goddamn it,
this is no life!

(baby cries)

Just a constant smell of that
baby frankenstein's shit,

'cause that thing is too
dumb to wash diapers.

With her ugly mug and elephant
ears and the smiling--

"pepper good girl,
pepper good girl."

It's like a permanent
freak show around here.

You think i'm
any happier?!

Stuck in here with them
all day in, day out!

Day in, day out...

She's so dumb, i hurt.

And he makes me want
to squeeze the life

Out of his little baby
body half the time.

So...

You and i, we're on
the same page about this.

(crying continues)

You never bonded with that baby.

Admit it.

Say, "i never bonded
with that baby."

Say it.

(crying continues)

I never bonded
with that baby.

Me, i'd be happy to see
the two of them gone.

Gone?

As in...?

I could never murder
my own sister.

N-n-n-no, hear me out.

What if i had a way to kill
two birds with one stone?

(crying continues)

I was at the park with the baby
all afternoon.

I was worn out, so i asked her
to please give him his bath.

(baby cooing)

(footsteps approaching)

(door creaking)

(baby cooing)

(baby screams)

(clattering)

(screams)

Rita: She snapped
his little ears off.

Drowned him in his tub.

Then went downstairs
to watch her show.

She killed him!

She killed him!
She killed him...

Oh, god.

(screams):
Oh, god!

He's gone! He's
gone, he's gone.

She ruined my life.

You must never

Ever let her
out of here.

(rhythmic thumping)

(keys jangling)

Sister eunice:
Hush.

Self-pity will
get you nowhere.

Any more of that and...

I'll put you
in a scalding bath.

Then you'll really
feel sorry for yourself.

I need to get you
out of this thing.

I have to put you in the
decontamination shower.

What you did--

That's one of the worst
ever things i've heard.

Maybe in my whole life.

It made me throw up.

Actually... Throw up.

Baby.

Baby.
Yes,

That's right.
You killed a baby.

And that poor mother.

You ruined her life.

Baby lucas.

Yes, that's the baby's name.
Lucas.

Lucas.

Oh, my heavens.

Is this...

Are you...

Is that real?

Do i see real remorse

In your eyes?

Is redemption
closer than i thought?

Oh...

Oh, thank you, dear lord,

For your lesson in humility.

Since sister priscilla left,

We've had no one
to tidy things up in here.

Why don't you start
by making piles.

Life...

In the life pile.

National geographic...

In another pile.

Reader's digest...

In another.

You...

Are my special
project.

No filthy
toilet scrubbing.

I am determined to bring
out the best in you.

Maybe soon you can work
in the bakery with me.
