Previously on Rescue me.
You hardly touched your food. 'Cause you're eating for --
I know. I know I'm eating for two now.
The information you're looking for is on the top sheet.
I didn't know how to tell you. I didn't how to tell you.
Time to move on, sweetheart.
Oh, I've moved on. Greener pastures, my friend.
I wish him luck. He's gonna need it.
No she won't.
-You're a friend of Peter's? -He's my partner.
Sasha, wow?
She asked me if I was seeing anybody.
Situations like this is why God invented whores.
It turns her on if you're with someone else?
That's kind of the idea, yeah.
Wow.
It's getting, kind of, late so I think I'll just, uh--
Why don't you come home with us?
It appears that you two are my brothers.
We share the same father.
-Who's that? -I don't know.
-She's hot. -Yeah.
You've already met our sister.
Great.
I don't understand how almost losing my little girl
ain't enough to make this go away.
Make sure that Teddy's got this place
completely locked down, alright?
'Cause if Janet finds out the kids are here,
we're gonna have big problems.
Rickey here is our most devout altar boy.
Listen, I have seen shit like this before, okay?
That kid attached to his hip, the way he was?
Figure it out, Tom.
Do me, Daddy! Do me hard!
Forty years, I have lived in this home.
Daddy...
Don't you ever call me daddy again!
-Is he breathing? -Well, I gave him mouth to mouth.
Tommy, the kids lips, they're stuck to yours.
-I wanna ride the blue horse, Daddy. -No, I wanna ride the blue horse.
-Plenty of blue horses for everybody. -Right.
-I wanna ride the blue horse. -Stop arguing about the horse.
-I'm gonna get the best one. -Stop it. Connor, stop!
Jesus Christ.
-Hi. -Hi.
Look, my kids are here. I don't wanna get into--
Relax, we're not gonna cause a scene. This is my ex, Tommy.
-Who I told you about. -How are you?
This is my new friend, Debbie.
What's up, Debbie?
-Talk to you for a sec? -Be right back.
So this is greener pastures, huh?
Oh, yeah, by a long shot. I should probably be thanking you...
-...but I won't. -Okay.
-Are you kidding me? -What?
What, I can't be a lesbian because you're so goddamn good in the sack?
No, you can't be a lesbian because we both know you love cock, okay?
Okay, well, I might have loved cock last week.
But this is the new me. This is who I am now.
Really? You just turned into a muff-diver overnight.
-Take a muff-diving pill? -You're disgusting.
-Yeah. -What, you don't believe me?
No.
Big deal.
Seen it a million times on Girls Gone Wild.
Yeah, what about this?
Daddy, why is Auntie Sheila touching that woman's--?
Come on, come on. Kids! Connor, Colleen, let's go.
Hurry up.
I thought you were working a double shift?
I got somebody to cover for me.
-You got a bunch of dishrags there? -No, I got some stuff I found.
-Get that outside a homeless shelter? -Yeah, like I'd do that.
Oh, come on, Tommy, you gotta be kidding me.
Look, it's not like I have an attic or a cellar that I can store stuff in.
Got no place since your girlfriend from the FBI showed up...
...and kicked me out. Unannounced.
Rock bottom doesn't exist for you, does it?
I'm trying to repay my debt to society.
It's gonna take more than digging up...
...some Dumpster diver's undies to repay that.
I thought you were taking the kids to the game.
-Tickets fell through. -Oh, really?
Goddamn scalper broke those kids' hearts.
-Yeah, what an asshole. -Major asshole.
Hey, Father.
-Hey, what a wonderful surprise. -Father.
Hey, Rickey, boys, can we take these bags here.
Didn't think we'd see either of you today.
Well, you know, comes to charity, we clear the deck.
Yeah. So-- Hey, is Mariel around?
No, she's cracking the whip at another location.
Probably gonna be gone all day.
I'm glad to see you. Roll up your sleeves...
-...we got a lot to do. -I'm still working, actually.
Came over from the firehouse to make sure you got those clothes...
...and I gotta get back. But Johnny's free all day.
And nothing he likes better than digging in and helping a charity, right?
So you two have fun folding. I'll talk to you soon.
-Thanks again. -All right, no problem.
-What's going on? -Nothing.
Look, I know you. You go in these meetings, you're all ears usually.
That girl was there, whining, you were a million miles away. What's going on?
-Father Murphy. -Not this again. Come on.
I looked into the guy. He's been bounced around to different churches.
Doesn't bode well for a young guy.
Because a priest moves parishes, doesn't mean he's a child molester.
That's some leap of faith you got going on.
-Well, I call it like I see it. -Yeah.
It's all a conspiracy.
In the olden days, the priests used to lock away young boys to have sex with.
-Called them catamites. -Thank you.
-Catamites! -All right.
You know, I saw a band at CBGB's years ago called Catamites.
Bunch of guys from London, I think.
Oh, yeah? Bass player try to give you a blowjob?
-No. -Different catamites.
I'm gonna stretch my legs, Tom. You want a soda?
Love a soda.
What's up?
-Just waiting on your boyfriend. -Me too.
-Yeah, he led me to believe-- -I know.
He's full of goddamn promises.
I've been waiting for a ring since three weeks before the Last Supper.
Really.
I want you to listen to me, and I want you to listen hard.
Down on your knees.
Come on, big boy, down.
That's it.
What are the things you want most in this world?
Come on, we don't have a lot of time.
What do you want the most?
I want this kid to live, obviously.
What else?
I guess if I could get my marriage to go back to the way it used to be...
...I would do that. I know it's probably imposs--
Pray. Right now.
Make the sign of the cross, bow your head and pray to God, our father.
Forget Jesus.
Cut the middleman out, go right to the source.
-Do it. -Okay.
It's a fantastic idea. If there's anything this old girl needs...
-...it's a party. -I'm not so sure. Pete, your father--
Forget him, he doesn't live in this house alone.
Let me take a wild guess as to who the topic of conversation was...
-...up till this point. -It was Steven.
We're gonna have a wonderful party for him.
-Is that right? -Jeannie, I--
Oh, don't be a stick-in-the-mud.
It'll be fun, Jerry.
Come on, Pop. Few friends, few beers.
Get some nice, thick steaks, we'll christen the new grill.
Every Fourth of July, your father used to put on a funny hat...
...and grill for the neighbourhood.
They used to line up all the way down the block.
-You remember that? -Well, of course I do, honey.
Think you still got the hat?
Yeah, I can probably dig it up.
Yeah, slim pickings, bro.
Yeah, real slim.
No, I'm talking about the meetings.
Jesus.
Well, we haven't done smokers.
How many hotties are gonna go to that?
I really wanna bang a chick in an iron lung.
What about gamblers?
Yeah, well, you know, if you're into, like, middle-aged, fat, bald guys.
Come on, drugs, booze, sex, food.
-That's where the talent's at. -Right.
Hey, you don't think I came off like a bitch, do you?
Maybe a little, but you're my bitch now.
I'm kidding. You were great.
You were really great, I'm so proud of you.
Hey, hey, hey.
Look at this, you know--
-Did you invite them? -No.
-Okay, let's just play it cool. -Okay.
-Hey. -Hey.
-How are you, man?
-Good to see you. -Good to see you, man.
Thank you guys for coming down.
Franc, I just wanted to say that we're really happy you're getting better.
And you don't have to worry about me, not a word.
-I had no idea. -What are you talking about?
-I'm here for support, like you dinks. -Anything to support a brother, right?
-Right. -Bulimia. Last call for Bulimia.
-We'll see you in the morning. -Get home safe. Take care.
-Right. -Hey, how you doing?
-Hi. -Hi.
-Hey.
-Come on in. -Thanks.
It was so thoughtful of you to contribute yesterday.
Oh, it's nothing. Nothing.
-So make yourself comfortable. -Okay.
I'm gonna go put on my face.
I think the face you have on right now looks pretty good.
You're very sweet.
-Five minutes. -Okay.
Half sister, half sister.
-Tommy, would you grab that for me? -Sure. Yeah, yeah.
-Hello. -Tommy?
-Johnny? -I dial the wrong number?
No. Mariel invited me out, okay?
I don't believe this. You're sick, you know?
Hey, this is a thing about the contributions. It's a charity thing.
Do not do this. All right?
You knock her up, the kid's gonna be retarded.
Family's full of retards. He'll fit in.
They got a word for this: incest.
You ever heard of it? Incest.
-What are you calling about, asshole? -I came across stuff to donate.
I'm sure you did. Bye-bye.
Jerk.
-Who was it? -Oh, it was some telemarketing guy.
What are you smiling at?
It's nice that....
What?
Sharing.
You tend to hoard your food.
I was starting to wonder if maybe you did some time.
Yeah, I guess maybe I have in some ways.
-But I'm a free man now. -Yeah.
Yeah. You know, on the subject of sharing, Laura...
-...I've been thinking, you and me. -Yeah?
What do you think about shacking up?
Not talking about getting married or anything, but--
I don't know, you're over almost every night...
...and I really care about you, Laura.
I mean, Keela's crazy about you.
I think we should be together. So there.
What do you say?
-That's a really big step. -Yeah, it's a first for me.
It could really complicate things at work.
I don't give a shit about that. I'm not ashamed of what we got.
Believe me, I never thought I'd hear myself say these words...
...but I'm ready to take the next step. The shacking-up step.
Before we did, we'd have to put everything out on the table.
I agree.
And please don't take this as an accusation, but I just--
I need to know if you've been seeing anybody else.
I mean, call it insecurity on just my part, I just need to know for myself.
There's just you, Laura.
I don't want anybody else.
-I'm so glad you appreciate this. -Hey, whenever you want to watch...
...a raving lunatic chop his family to pieces, you know who to call.
-Oh, that's good to know. -Yeah.
Hey, there's this great coffee shop around the corner...
-...if you wanna pop in there. -We should call it a night.
Your secret admirer's here.
Yeah.
-Another time? -We'll see.
Listen, about the--
About the cash, can I just settle up next time?
Tell you what, you got the movie...
-...we'll just call it even. -Okay.
Okay. I'll see you later.
-It's a great place. -Yeah, I come here a lot.
They have a fantastic wine list.
Yeah, I was never really much of wine guy.
-No? -No.
-You a whiskey guy? -Whiskey, yes.
And vodka, you know.
And Scotch. And bourbon, rum, gin.
And let's not forget the entire schnapps family.
-You're funny, Tommy. -And you're gorgeous.
-So are you. -Come on.
I'm serious. It's been keeping me up nights, ever since we met.
Yeah, but, I mean, let's be honest.
There is kind of a...
...ick factor to this, isn't there?
I have a confession to make.
I'm not 100 percent sure you and I have the same father.
-But you're Murph's sister. -Yeah, we have the same mother.
But she was--
How do I put this gently?
--a bit of a whore.
-Aren't we all. -Your dad was the only one...
...who ever stepped up to support us.
So now-- So Murph's not my brother or--?
No, no, he is. We're certain of that.
But your dad had broken things off for a while...
...around the time I was conceived.
And we didn't tell Liam...
...because he was so sensitive about Mom's liberal mating habits.
But in order to protect Liam, we had to keep it from your dad too.
Interesting.
Okay. You know what?
I can't-- I can't do this.
I mean, maybe I can, but....
-You can if you want to. -Okay, want's not the problem.
Okay? I got plenty of want. I got want up the yin-yang.
You still thinking about the sister thing?
Maybe I just need to find out for certain, you know?
Maybe-- Like a blood test.
-You think so? -It's worth a shot.
It's worth a whole hell of a lot more than that.
Oh, God.
I gotta go. Thanks.
All right, boys and girls, listen up. Hey, hey.
The wife is having a party tomorrow, and I thought you might want to join--
-Hey! -Yes, all right!
-What's the occasion? -Steve's birthday.
Gay Steve?
-What? -I can't make it, because I've got a...
-...AA-- -Meeting?
It's actually a festival. It's like a two- or three-day series of meetings.
-Lou? -You know what, chief, it's the back...
...it's bad today. Lot of pain, lot of stiffness.
-Let me help you rub that out, Lou. -Which happens, it fuses the vertebrae.
-Oh, that's good, Franco. -Yeah?
-Garrity? -No, there's a-- I got a-- It's just a--
-Let me come back to you. -Probie.
I don't-- I really--
Gay people kind of scare me, chief.
Finally, an honest answer.
-What do you got, Franco? -I'm helping Lou with his back.
-Jesus. -I'm sorry.
-Laura? -You like me to bring the cake, chief?
-Yeah, that'd be great, thanks. -Numb-nuts?
I can't. I got a-- There's a doctor's appointment.
For what?
-The ass doctor? -Took you 30 seconds...
...to come up with "ass doctor"? For that alone, you're coming.
In fact, you're all coming. I'm not asking, I'm telling you.
It's out of the way, but any time you wanna go cross-town...
-...for grinders, I'm in. -Grinders? What the hell?
-It's a hero, dipshit. -Where are these terms from?
I'll tell you what a hero is: Ted Williams, John F. Kennedy. Those are heroes.
This is meat in bread. This is a goddamn sandwich.
We got a car in the river about two blocks from here.
-Aren't we out of our district? -We'll save the guy, give him a grinder.
Marine P.D. unit's five minutes away.
We're gonna be first due. Time to get wet.
So much for waiting a half-hour after you eat.
Come on, boys. We got a body. I can see it.
-I'm ready to go. -You guys ready?
Hey, probie, we got a confirmed 10-45, we need EMS.
-That's it, Sean. That's it. -Come on, probie, tie it off.
-That's it, get her out. Nice, Franco. -Look who's here, just in time.
-Just in time. -Guess so.
No problem.
-Need help? -No.
What the hell are you guys doing here? Marine unit's on its way.
Maybe we should have pulled out lawn chairs, waited for you guys to show up.
Who says we can't work together, come on.
What, were you fishing? Just in time to steal a headline, huh?
-Can you believe this? -This grab's ours, boys.
You go back to whatever bar you crawled out of.
Wanna know something? If you spent less time at Dunkin' Donuts...
...we wouldn't have to be here.
Glad you're running point for the next terrorist attack.
-Maybe you'll be late to that too. -Maybe you'll get done right this time.
Write something clever about that, all right?
-Stand down, firemen, stand down! -Forget about it!
Jesus Christ, my skin smells like it's rotting.
Yeah, someone should bottle that and call it Essence of Ass.
-Franco all right? -Yeah, tweaked shoulder.
Laura's picking him up, gonna meet us at the party.
Hey, guys, look at this. A souvenir from our battle with the bulls.
-Very nice. -I'll stick it on the front of the rig.
-Our new hood ornament. -Wanna know something?
We should stick that asshole's head on a pike.
Enough of this kind of stuff.
I don't need you taking this to the party.
Yeah, you're right. He's right. We should be, you know, more festive.
Did you say "festive"?
No, I did. Why, I didn't use it correctly?
Go get washed up, you stink.
-I know I stink. -Bastard.
-Holy shit. -Yeah.
-Happy birthday. -Should've brought the engine.
This place could go up in flames at any given moment.
Looks like the gay pride parade detoured through Jerry's room.
Yeah, he's a much braver man than even I thought.
Hey, hey. What, you gotta take a piss?
What? Oh, no, the music was, just, really good.
-Probie, get in and get us some booze. -Why me?
You could slip under the gaydar.
Me? What about Sean?
Look, if we have a gayest-guy-in-the-crew contest...
...you win hands down.
-Or pants down. -But what does that mean?
He's got better hair than I do? Better body? What?
You're not really asking that question, are you?
Hey, what are you standing out here for?
Hey, Franco, help us out, man. Who looks gayer, me or the probie?
-You gotta be kidding. -No.
A who-looks-gayer contest?
-Yep. -Where's the chief?
Inside with half the population of San Francisco.
-Help us out, Franco. -Sean-O, he's got a better body.
-That's what I'm talking about. -Congrats, twinkletoes.
-Probie, booze, now! -You just--
-Now! -This sucks.
-Hi, sweetie. -What the hell is going on here?
Only the most fabulous party ever.
You told me this was a small get-together.
A few friends, a couple of beers, and some steaks on the grill.
It's turned into a full-blown fag-fest.
Believe it or not, this is a small get-together.
Last party we had, we were turning them away.
Oh, don't be a grump, Jerry. Steven's friends are wonderful.
-Hey, Jesus, what took you so long? -Not really a beer crowd in there.
Scrounged up some Cosmos, Appletinis and a couple wine coolers.
-God, even I feel gay drinking this. -It's actually a cool party.
Music's jamming, there's even chicks.
-Yeah, chicks named Kevin and Bill. -No, the real thing.
Hair, breasts, the whole package. I'm going back in.
-Where are you going? -He said there's chicks in there.
Yeah, but you gotta fight through 10 yards of gay to get to them.
-Then there were four. -Unbelievable.
I'm gonna go in and check it out. I don't wanna be rude.
No.
And then there were two.
Work's over. Playtime begins.
Hey, look, I'm a little tied up right now.
That's exactly what I had in mind. Where are you?
I'm at a thing. I can't get away.
-Are you at a party? -No. No, it's a work thing.
-Is Linda there? -Who? Linda-- No, no, she couldn't--
-No, no. -You're lying, I'm coming over.
-Sondra, that's not a good idea. -It's perfect for me to meet her.
-Say I'm with the guys. -I don't think it's a good idea.
I'm gonna have to start rethinking this relationship. Where are you?
Hey, nice dance moves. Didn't know you had it in you.
Oh, thanks. This party's off the hook, you know?
Too bad there aren't any women. I mean, more women.
I'm surprised Franco stayed as long as he did, pussy hound that he is.
I think he's gotten a little bit better in that arena lately.
Are you kidding? Franco? Come on.
Guy will be chasing tail till the day he dies.
You know, take that nurse that he was banging, for example.
-What nurse? -Just the--
You know, the nurse that he was banging to get the Vicodin.
-Why are you telling me this? -I just-- It was-- It slipped out.
It's part of making amends in the 12-step program.
Franco knows that.
You're supposed to make amends for yourself, asshole, not other people.
-Boy, look at the probie. -What a fag.
Tell me about it.
-Hey. -Go to hell!
-Hey, Laura. Wait up a minute. -Get away from me.
-Laura, what happened in there? -Oh, like you give a shit?
Screw you, Franco.
Laura, come on, don't--
The hell was that about?
Hi, Dad.
Holy mother of....
Katy? Connor? Hey, guys.
-How are my babies? Hello. -Mommy!
Hello.
Colleen?
-Honey? -That's dinner.
If the bitch shows, we'll snuff her and ditch the remains.
It's nice to see you too, Teddy. Hey.
-How'd she get in here? -Hi.
Laura.
Okay, what the hell was that?
Laura, talk to me.
Okay, you're mad. I'm getting that.
You know what? I'm mad too.
You crossed a line. Because we live together...
...doesn't give you license to bug out in front of the crew.
You wanna bug within the confines of these walls, that's fine.
Don't do it in front of the guys.
-Don't play games with me, Laura. -Who's playing? Look at yourself.
What are you talking about?
You're just ready to ride this to the end of the line.
-Tell me, what did I do? -The nurse, goddamn it!
The bitch getting you the pills, huh?
You got a siren going off now?
-Laura, baby, let me explain. -No.
You had that chance, and you blew that.
Now anything you say is damage control.
-Get out! Get out! Let me just pack. -Laura, baby, don't go.
I will break your goddamn face...
...because I am ready!
Get out!
Pack.
Pack right now.
What the hell you doing? Straighten up.
Two hot chicks in a party full of gay guys. It's like catching fish in a barrel.
-It's "shooting fish." -What?
"Shooting fish in a barrel" is the expression, you dumb-ass.
If they're in the barrel, why would you shoot them?
Why wouldn't you just reach in with your hands and pull one out?
Let's just-- Come on. Let's just go-- Let's go hit on the girls.
Hey!
What's up? Hi, I'm Mike.
This is Sean. We work for the fire department.
Did you guys, by any chance, get your tickets yet?
Tickets for what?
The gun show.
Candy better hustle. Sondra's gonna be here any minute.
Yeah. Listen to me.
Don't panic, but I have to piss like a racehorse. Okay?
Go against the house.
I'm not gonna pull my cock out in this crowd.
That would be like throwing chum into a shark tank.
I'm gonna go inside.
Hey, Tommy. Don't, all right?
I'm drunk, I'm vulnerable.
A sweet piece of meat like me, I won't last five minutes out here.
Be brave. They can smell fear.
Bye.
Kenny.
Oh, thank God.
You coming in?
Inside that house?
-Never again. -Stop.
Mom's inside having the time of her life, you're here sulking like a child.
You keep swallowing that anger, it's gonna eat you alive.
We're going in circles here, kid.
I don't know why you throw this in my face all the time.
This is the way I live. I thought you understood.
I understand. I understand just fine.
It doesn't mean I have to be surrounded by it.
-Your friends are having a good time. -Go ahead inside.
-If you just give it a chance-- -Go inside, I'm grilling.
Go.
Enjoy your party.
-Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry. -That's okay. I'm about done.
Oh, okay.
Interested?
Yeah. Wh-- What do you got?
Everything. E, uppers, downers, Z's, vikes, percs.
-Wow, you got vikes, huh? -Sure.
Close the door. My lover sees us, he'll pitch a fit.
So how much for two?
No, it's okay. No-- No money.
-Really? -Yeah.
-Thanks. -No problem.
-Thank you. -Share the wealth, right?
Yeah. Do you mind? I have to actually....
A little privacy?
I gave you the pills. How about a little something for me?
Cock tease!
Son of a bitch.
Oh, come on.
-Yeah? -I got news, Tom.
Janet's back. She's upstairs.
-How'd she find out where we were? -I'm not at liberty to say.
Want your man-on-man blowjob secret on the streets?
-Johnny called her. -Okay, listen.
Lock that place down. Keep Janet in your sights.
-I'll be there as fast as I can, all right? -I'm on it.
Baby, baby, wait a second, now. Just listen. Okay?
Now, look, that was the old me. The drugged-up me.
I was just-- I was hitting that to get the pills.
Wow, that makes me feel so much better about you as a person.
-Get out of my way. -Listen to me.
I've changed, okay? I'm clean. Things are different.
Things are different and you're clean, but you're never gonna change.
You'll spend your life being led around by your cock...
...and doing whatever or whoever feels good.
And to hell with the rest of us.
I'm not an idiot.
I didn't actually think I could change you.
I thought we'd get a good couple of years of each other.
-But I got a mediocre month and a half. -Baby--
Maybe you should just warn the next person that comes along...
...that that's all you really got in you.
You know? Before she's stupid enough to fall.
Take care of yourself.
Laura.
-I'm sorry, but I don't buy it. -No way you guys have dabbled.
-Oh, of course we have. -Yeah. Mike, here, dabbled last night.
-Yeah, sure, I-- I dabbled. -Tell them.
I mean, Sean, here, he dabbled some guy in the garage, like, half-hour ago.
Da-- Dabbled the shit out of him.
You're just saying that because you know we're into gay guys.
Yeah, what, you want us to prove it?
Yeah.
-Thanks for coming, by the way. -Hey, glad I got out of class in time.
-Class? -I'm finishing my M.B.A.
One semester to go. Criminal justice.
Why the hell not?
You didn't think I was gonna make a career out of this?
No. Well, there she is.
Hey.
Who the hell's down here?
Get out!
Get the hell out!
I'm surrounded by this shit.
Anyway, we spent the most amazing three days in the Berkshires.
We knew right after that it was true love.
-Right, bunny? -Right, Linda.
Yeah, he's usually not so shy. A few too many cocktails.
You know, which reminds me.
I'm gonna go to the car and get my cigarettes.
Why don't you keep our new friend, Sondra, company here?
Okay.
She's very affectionate.
I'm feeling this.
Ready, okay.
-Come on, baby. -Listen, I--
I got-- I gotta-- I gotta get back.
-Ravage me, Kenny. -Sondra--
Sondra. Sondra. No.
No, okay? Just stop, okay?
Candy's waiting for me.
Who's Candy?
Ken!
-Hello? -Hey, you backstabbing son of a bitch.
-Oh, hey, Tom. -You're supposed to be my brother.
I was just trying to do you a favour.
By helping Janet take my kids again? That's a favour?
-How's that work? -Tommy, if you would just listen to her.
You know what, Johnny, you're dead to me. You got that?
Look, those kids need their mother.
You cannot handle this on your own, and you know it.
Hey, you take a look in the mirror, pal. Look at your own kids, all right?
One's in reform school, other's on the same road.
You're talking about me? I don't think so.
That's my point exactly. Look, Tommy, what my divorce did to those kids...
...I can't fix that, all right?
But you, you got a chance to make things right.
Look, for once in your life, stop thinking about what you want.
Stop thinking about what Janet wants.
Start thinking about what those kids need.
Because without them, you got nothing.
Shut up.
Tommy? Hello? Mother--
What are you looking at?
I'm really sorry things didn't work out with Sondra.
I wish I could have done more.
You know what? Things worked out just fine.
You're not driving, are you?
Me? No, I'm gonna probably just crash here tonight.
I could offer you a ride.
No charge.
Let's go.
-Hey. -Dad!
-Hey. -Daddy, I missed you.
Hey, sweetie.
-What's going on? -Mommy and Daddy need to catch up.
Who wants ice cream?
-I do. -You want-- You guys like pistachio?
-Yep! -Yeah? You like steak?
-Yep! -Yeah, all right.
Jeffrey.
Another tall one, huh? Jeff?
So, what gives?
I wanna talk.
I will sell my truck, I will borrow money from loan sharks.
-I'll be my own-- -I don't wanna go to court.
-You try taking the kids away from me-- -I don't wanna take them again.
You know, this whole thing?
I didn't get angry.
I got sad.
You know, my head went right back to when we first met.
Our wedding, and how funny you were.
Colleen being born.
Those Beatles songs you used to sing to her to make her fall asleep.
Those sweet, little, horse crayon pictures you used to draw for Katy.
Tommy, I couldn't even move for almost a day.
And then, I couldn't stop crying.
I need my kids.
But at least three or four times a day when I had them...
...Katy and Connor would look at me and ask where you were.
"Is Daddy coming for the weekend? Is Daddy coming for Christmas?
Where's Daddy now?
Is Daddy dead?
You would tell us if Daddy was dead, right, Mom?"
I-- I was in a hospital for a couple of weeks.
But I got some counselling...
...and I got back up on my feet.
The thing is, while I was there...
...I got my head straightened out enough that I got a little perspective.
And I think...
...for the sake of the kids...
...and for what we used to be like...
...before Jimmy died...
...I think we ought to give it one last go.
One last go.
That's a hell of a way to jump-start a relationship.
Till death do us part.
Right?
Right.
