Reiben: I don't know
how he does it.

1:06:03
Mellish: What's that?
1:06:04
Falls asleep like that.
1:06:06
I mean, look at him.
1:06:07
The guy's lights out the minute
his head hits the pack.

1:06:10
Clear conscience.
1:06:11
Yeah, what's that saying?
"lf God's on our side,

1:06:14
who the hell could
be on theirs?"

1:06:16
"lf God be for us,
who could be against us?"

1:06:19
Yeah, what did I say?
1:06:20
Wade: Well, actually,
1:06:22
the trick to falling asleep
is trying to stay awake.

1:06:25
Mellish:
How is that, Wade?

1:06:27
Wade: Well, when my
mother was an intern,

1:06:29
she used to work late
through the night,

1:06:32
sleep through the day.
1:06:34
So the only time
1:06:35
that we ever got
to talk about anything

1:06:36
was when she'd get home.
1:06:38
So what I used to do,
I used to lie in my bed

1:06:40
and try to stay awake
as long as I could,

1:06:42
but it never worked
'cause the harder I tried,

1:06:45
the faster
I'd fall asleep.

1:06:47
Yeah, well, that wouldn't have
mattered none in my house.

1:06:50
My ma, she would've come home,
shook me awake,

1:06:53
chatted me up till dawn.
1:06:55
I swear, that woman
was never too tired to talk.

1:06:58
Yeah, that's probably
the only time

1:06:59
she could get a word in.
1:07:04
Funny thing is,
1:07:06
sometimes she'd
come home early,

1:07:09
and I'd pretend
to be asleep.

1:07:11
Mellish: Who?
Your-- Your mom?

1:07:14
Yeah.
1:07:17
She'd stand in the doorway
looking at me.

1:07:21
And I would just
keep my eyes shut.

1:07:25
And I knew she just wanted
to find out about my day,

1:07:29
that she came home early...
1:07:33
just to talk to me.
1:07:38
And I still wouldn't move.
1:07:39
I'd still pretend
to just be asleep.

1:07:49
I don't know why I did that.
