Chapter 20: Vinny Lets Go
Mike is still sleeping. Lorraine has two pots in her hand. She bangs them together near Mike's ears.
"What the hell?" Mike asked her as he woke up.
"Mike get up." Lorraine told him.
"What time is it?" Mike then asked her.
"It's one in the afternoon." Lorraine told him.
"My head hurts." Mike told her as he grab his head.
"That's because you're hung over." Lorraine replied.
"I wasn't drunk last night." Mike told her.
"Mike you fell asleep at the bar." Lorraine then told him.
"You weren't even there. Were you?" Mike then said to her.
"No." Lorraine replied.
Mike rolls over and goes back to sleep. Lorraine then pushes him off the couch. Mike hits the floor.
"Okay! I'm up!" Mike told her.
Vinny walks into the livingroom. "Enjoy your sleep?" Vinny asked him.
"No. You're wife woke me up." Mike explained.
"I'm also your older sister." Lorraine told him.
"So are Nora, Sarah, Kim and Jessica. You don't see them waking me up." Mike replied.
Someone knocks on the door. Vinny answers the door.
"Hey Vinny." Sarah said to him.
"Hi." Vinny replied.
Sarah walks into the cabin and looks at Mike. "You look awful." Sarah told him.
"I didn't get enough sleep last night." Mike replied.
"Or you could be hung over." Lorraine then said to him.
"Whatever." Mike told her as he got off the floor.
Another knock is heard at the door. Vinny answers it again.
"Hey Vinny." Elliot said to him.
Lorraine walks over and slams the door in his face.
Elliot knocks on the door again.
"If you answer that you'll regret it." Lorraine warned Vinny.
Vinny's cell phone rings. Mike holds his head and groans as he walks into the kitchen.
"Hello?" Vinny said as he answered his phone.
"Your wife is still mad at me?" Elliot asked him.
"No, she just slammed the door in your face because she was so overjoyed to see you." Vinny replied sarcastically.
"I get it. She's still mad at me." Elliot told him.
Lorraine takes Vinny's cell phone out of his hand and hangs it up.
"Okay." Vinny said to her.
"I don't want you to talk to or see him." Lorraine said to him.
"Lorraine we aren't in high school. I can talk to whoever I want." Vinny told her.
"But, we are husband and wife. If you don't do what I say I'll hurt you." Lorraine told him.
"Then again I act like I'm still in high school." Vinny replied.
"Vinny you act like you're still in elementary school." Sarah told him.
"Whatever." Vinny said to her.
Vinny goes into the kitchen and sees Mike asleep at the kitchen table. Vinny wakes Mike up.
"I know what you need." Vinny said to him.
"An hour three hours of sleep?" Mike then asked him.
"No. You need to get rid of that hangover and I know just the thing." Vinny told him as he made Mike a drink.
He hands the drink to Mike. Mike looks at it and puts it on the table.
"Drink it." Vinny told him.
"I don't think so." Mike told him.
"I'll shove that damn thing down your throat." Vinny told him.
"Fine. I'll drink it." Mike said to him as he picked up the drink.
Mike takes a sip of it and spits it out.
"Ah! This taste like shit." Mike told him.
"It's not suppose to taste good you idiot." Vinny replied.
"I don't care if this stuff will get rid of my hangover, I'm not drinking it." Mike told him.
"Shut up and drink it." Vinny told him putting the drink in front of him.
"I'm not drinking it and you can't make me." Mike whined like he was a kid.
Vinny shakes his head at him.
"Fine I'll drink it." Mike said to him again.
"Then drink it." Vinny said to him.
Mike chugs the whole thing and makes a disgusted face when he's done.
"Hey Matt." Vinny said as he saw Matt walk into the kitchen.
Matt doesn't say anthing to him.
"Matt sit down I need to talk to you." Vinny told him.
Matt sits down and sighs.
"I've been thinking about you and your Uncle Mike going rappelling." Vinny told him.
Matt just looks at him. "And?" Matt then asked him.
"You can go rappelling with your Uncle Mike." Vinny said to him.
"Really?" Mike and Matt asked him at the same time.
"Yeah. Much to me hating the idea of Matt rappelling but, he's going with you Mike and you're a professional stuntman." Vinny said to him.
"Thanks Dad." Matt said to him as he hugged him.
Vinny hugs Matt back.
"Yeah. Thanks Big Bro." Mike said as he hugs Vinny.
"Get off of me you drunken bastard." Vinny told him as he pushed Mike off of him.
Mike gets off of Vinny.
