You don't hear everybody
yelling? We're waiting.
I ain't going.
Know some way around taking

If I take the medical,
they'll pull me off duty.
Get on the rig.
We'll figure
something out on the way.

Shea.
You're doing very well,
Lt.
Shea.
A few more questions,
lieutenant.
I'm not a lieutenant.
I mean, yes,
I'm a lieutenant.
What are you doing
locking me out?
This isn't the medical building.
I just came out of here.
What the hell is going on?
Will you marry me?
Yes.
What's going on?
Um, I got cancer.
Is it serious?
It's cancer.
Pam Keppler.
Nice to meet you.
This is the news chick.
For what?
The Jimmy thing.
What Jimmy thing?
The news piece
they're doing on Jimmy.
Relax.
This is good.
Whose idea was this?
It was cleared by HQ.
They got official papers.
Really? Signed by who?
Sheila.
Yeah.
I'll do the interview
when hell freezes over.
You just, uh, call back whoever
it is you have to call back.
And you tell 'em,
"Tommy Gavin"
What should I wear?

C'mon, c'mon *

Dinner of champions,
huh, Lou?
Hey, do me a favor.
Hand me the cinnamon, will you?
Come on,
it's right behind ya.
Seriously?
Yeah, seriously.
It's cheaper this way.
You better pass some
of those savings on to Sheila.
What'd you say?
Nothing.
I'm just talking to myself.
Why don't you talk louder?
It's nothing, Lou.
Forget it.
I said, maybe
you should talk louder.
All right, I just
I don't know, man.
I don't think you should be
eating that ***
after what happened.
What happened?
What happened?
Come on, are you kidding me?
We just put our
collective *** on the line
so you could waltz
through your physical
without breaking a sweat.
So, I'm sorry.
Coming in here
watching you
stuffing your face with a
donut Correction, donuts
is just like, I don't know,
you're rubbing our faces in it.
You know, Frankie,
as much as I appreciate
what you and the boys
did for me,
it's kind of
par for the course,
stepping up
for a brother in need.
Kind of like what
we did for you
when those guys came over
here looking to kick your ***
after you spouted
your conspiracy theories.
All right, first, Lou,
those aren't my theories.
I think you know that.
Second, I haven't really
been spouting them lately
in case you haven't noticed.
I owned up to my ***.
I'm just saying
you should do the same.
What's going on?
What y'all talking about?
The thing.
Which thing?
The Lou thing.
Oh, wow.
Right in front of him?
Yeah.
Hey.
Hey.
What's going on?
I'm about to give
the boys here
another re-education
in the chain of command.
Respecting the shirt.
Oh, we respect the shirt,
Lou, as long as it fits.
Ha, whoa, back off.
We're not gonna back off, Tom.
We've been backing off for
months.
He needs to hear this.
He needs to hear it.
Oh, look who finally took
the pacifier out of his mouth
to form words.
What? Did your balls drop
last night, kid?
We love you, Lou.
All right.
We love having you around.
*** and giggles.
When you cook
we eat like kings, but
But you ain't pulling
your weight in the ***.
Okay.
Now you're out of line.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
Tommy Gavin's gonna
lecture us on taking orders?
What a joke.
Maybe I'll come over
on the other side of the table
and beat the *** out of you.
How would that do?
That's the Tommy we know.
Punch somebody in the face,
it solves everything.
Okay!
We got a problem here?
Yeah.
Lou.
Okay.
You got a problem
with Lou, you talk to me
and I will talk to Lou.
Okay.
Since when did this become
the Marine Corps and ***?
We're not allowed to
question authority?
Aren't we friends here?
Family?
You ain't doing
nothing about it, so
Franco, shut your mouth.
You're going to eat your way
right out that door, Lou.
Probably feet first.
Real talk.
I pray it happens before
another one ends up in a chair.
Whoa!
That is your lieutenant
you are speaking to.
I don't have to explain
myself to you, Franco.
I taught you this *** job.
I taught all of you
how to stay alive.
I earned my rank.
You gotta keep earning it.
There.
Okay, Franco?
You happy now?
It's a start.
Good.
Clean it up, Franco.
Don't take it there,
Lou.
I'm your friend.
Not your ***.
Pick it up.
Are you two seriously
on board with this?
I mean, really? I mean,
your supposed friend here,
you're gonna back
him up in his gluttony?
Chain of command, Franco.
We lose that, what do you think
we got left?
A dirty floor, I guess.
Pick it up,
Rivera.
Now.
Thanks for the backup, guys.
I appreciate that.
I guess
I'll go get a broom, sir.
You do that.
I'm going to get
more donuts.
All right.
Sid.
Hey, Sid.
What are you, just taking in
the air out here?
Just thinking of things.
All right, well, you better get
inside because we got trouble.
Trouble's all we ever got.
I'm serious.
The junior guys
just called out Lou.
For what?
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe the fact that he weighs
I don't give a *** anymore.
Listen, we got a full-scale
mutiny going on in there.
You're gonna stand here
and count cigarette butts?
What the hell
is going on with you?
None of your business
what's going on with me!
Just leave me alone, huh!
All of ya!
Hey, chief
Hello.
Hey.
How you doing?
Hey.
Um, listen,
I'm leaving work right now.
You need anything?
No, I don't think so.
I just put
Wyatt down.
He's been fighting sleep
for two hours now.
Oh, you know
what would be a great idea?
Could you not come home
for a couple hours or so
because if he hears that door
and your footsteps,
he's gonna want to
get back up again.
And it's gonna take me
another couple of hours
to get him back down.
Oh, you know what?
I need bananas and yogurt.
So, let me
get this straight.
Bananas and yogurt
and stay the hell away?
Honey, I know,
I'm sorry.
I'm just
so exhausted.
All right.
Well,
maybe I'll call Colleen.
See if she wants to go
to a meeting or something.
Teddy already took her
to a couple today.
And now she's out
looking at wedding dresses.
Just give her
a little space, okay?
I mean,
aren't you at work?
Don't you have like a hose or a
helmet or something you can fix?
Yeah, probably.
Um, I don't say this often.
But I want to tell you how much
I love you and, uh
Hello?
Hon?
Hey, you guys need a hand
with anything?
What?
I don't know.
No.
You sure?
All right.
Hey.
What, do you need
busy work to do?
Just everybody's
Colleen's taking care
of all the kids.
Mm-hm.
Nobody really needs anything.
The wives too?
You know, nobody talks about the
downside about being a Mormon.
Every guy wants two chicks
until they turn on you.
Next thing you know,
you're standing in the kitchen
with your *** in one hand
and a shopping list
in the other.
Don't do anything stupid, okay?
I'm not gonna do anything
stupid.
I'm talking about this interview
you've got coming up.
Just stick to the story.
Jimmy was a hero.
Jimmy was my cousin.
Jimmy, Jimmy.
I got it.
Tommy.
I know.
The last thing we need
is them poking around
your personal life.
Okay.
Now you sound like my wives.
Uh-huh.
I ain't a Mormon.
I got another project for you.
What?
I need you to talk to Lou.
Get through that thick
Irish head of his.
I can't take sides.
But what Franco said
has a lot of truth in it.
I know.
Okay.
I gotta put you on this.
I'm sorry.
But I've got my hands
full with Feinberg right now.
What's the matter with Feinberg?
I don't know yet.
I think he might be Jewish.
Shalom, tateleh.
What's "tateleh" mean?
Look it up.
Kelly.
Hey, what's up?
Hey, I need you.
What's going on?
You all right?
No, I'm not.
Not really.
Uh, can you meet me?
I need someone to talk to.
Where are you?
Churrascaria in Tribeca
and can you hurry?
I'm kind of pretty close
to the edge.
All right, I'll be there
in, like, 20 minutes.
Christ!
Listen, you wanna tell me
about the composite again?
Right, grain fibers.
Grain fibers? What,
you getting married in a barn?
No, we don't have
our centerpieces yet.
Oh, centerpieces.
Yeah.
Right.
Uh-huh.
Listen, I'm gonna
call you back at this number.
Okay.
Thank you.
Damn.
I mean, how much
of this wedding ***
a brother gotta take before
he starts to lose his ***.
It'd be funny
if you think about it.
No, really.
When I lose my ***,
I lose the *** out of my ***.
If you got married in a barn.
You could ride a horse
down the aisle.
Train a chicken to be the ring
bearer and the minister?
Dr.
Dolittle.
You're gonna die
a lonely man, Sean.
Yeah.
Black Shawn's right.
You don't joke
about wedding plans.
Because if you do it right,
the day will be magical,
and full of memories
to last a lifetime.
But if you let the process
overwhelm you,
then you'll go crazy.
Everything
you built up will come
crumbling down
like in that war movie.
Yeah.
Apocalypse Now?
Bride Wars.
Ugh!
Oh, I resent that Mikey,
that you would compare my life
to that low-rent, ***.
Oh! It's Colleen.
Hey, babe, what's up?
Oh, my God, I just found
the perfect dress.
Oh, sweet.
It's a poem by Christos
with a sweetheart neckline
and floral appliqué.
Mm-hm.
And it's made of ivory satin.
Mm-hm.
You should come
right now and see it.
You know, love to
Oh, oh, and it's cut
on the bias.
So, if you like it,
get it.
Great! Okay.
It's 4,500.
I'll see you back at the
apartment.
We'll celebrate.
On second thought,
I'm coming down to check it out.
We're on Madison.
On my way.
And holster that
MasterCard until I get there.
And you're with who?
Oh, ***!
Forty five hundred bucks
for a dress?
That *** better be
made out of crusted diamonds
and platinums and ***.
Yo, Garrity,
I need some backup, man.
Dude, so hot.
I know, and she wears that
tulip bodice like a princess.
I know.
What did you just say?
Yo!
Dress shop.
I can't wait.
Let's do it.
Hey.
Can I come?
Sure.
Just as long as
you don't try *** on.
I'm just gonna need 10 minutes
because I gotta take a ***.
I think he's gonna rub
I know what the hell
he's gonna do.
Come on.
- Just one second.
- Okay.
Hey.
Hi.
Tommy, this is Ron,
Ron, this is Tommy.
Hey.
Hello.
Okay, Ron.
You have to go.
Remember, I told you I might
have this thing later tonight
that I wouldn't be able
to get out of.
Yes.
You mentioned that.
Well, this is my thing.
He's early.
You know,
you're just afraid.
Afraid of
what I represent to you.
You're pushing me away
because I've asked you
to embrace a measured practice
of ease and calm.
And that requires becoming
intimate with your own feelings
of trust, trusting yourself,
trusting
I've been listening to almost
an hour of this ***.
I am pushing you away, Ron,
because you're
boring me to tears.
You're a fantastic doctor.
You're a sucky date.
Now, just scoot.
She's the kind of girl when
It's go time when she makes up
her, you know.
I just wanna tell you in all
my years of playing the field,
this is the first time
I've ever been replaced
in the middle of a date.
No, no.
I'm not replacing you.
Nah.
No, it's
I'm a friend of hers.
More like I'm a pinch-sitter.
You're the baseball player?
No.
Right.
We're still on for my white
blood cell count tomorrow?
So, that's the, uh, doc?
Yes, the hot doc I was so
desperate to have ask me out.
Wow.
So, uh,
who's the baseball player?
I don't know.
Eric somebody.
He said he played for
one of the New York teams.
Eric.
Not Derek.
Yeah.
Was his last name Jeter?
Yeah, that's it.
He was visiting
some sick kids.
He talked to me for what
seemed like forever.
You talked to Derek Jeter?
I guess.
I don't know.
I asked Derek Jeter
to stop talking to me.
You asked
You asked Derek Jeter
to stop talking to you?
It was just championship,
this championship that
He had a big giant
girly ring on.
Baseball, baseball,
blah, blah, blah.
Oh, my God.
It never fails.
The cute ones
are just dull as milk.
Speaking of which, is that what
you're drinking these days?
Uh What are you drinking?
Van Gogh ***.
Really.
Does it come with a severed ear
in the bottom of the bottle?
Ah, you're making me laugh.
Yeah.
That's my job, right?
Is this water?
Yep.
Well, here's to Jeter.
Mm.
So, what was the doc
rambling on about?
Oh, meditation,
tranquility, inner peace.
Oh, my God.
He thinks I'm still
very, very angry
and that it's not good
for my immune system.
Well, I mean,
he's gotta admit,
you have a right to be angry
given what's been going on.
Yeah.
And he's right.
I am angry.
I think you can forget this
tranquility and peace ***.
You gotta I think you gotta go
with your strengths, you know?
Embrace the anger and pride,
you know?
And, you know, don't forget the
other like wrath, resentment,
you know, all that stuff.
I mean, you know?
By the way, I'm an expert
in all these particular areas.
So, just so you know.
Let's eat.
And drink.
And, uh, brag.
And curse.
Just remember, I can't do
the drinking thing
because my sin quotient
goes through the roof.
When I drink I
start inventing sins.
This place is terrifying.
I keep expecting Maggie to
jump out with a butcher knife.
Well if it isn't
my two favorite ***.
No.
Not you two.
Wow, look at you!
What do you
think?
You look expensive.
Mm-hmm.
But don't you think
it's a little
Loose in the waist, I know.
Yeah.
Ah, the problem.
I did a little dance.
Got them to take it in
free of charge.
Oh, um, which spa did you pick
for the gift bags?
Wait, don't say it.
Let me guess.
Um, Heaven.
No, the Mandarin.
Uh, it was the Heaven.
Heaven.
It was the Heaven,
right.
I knew it.
Heh, oh, God.
Uh, did you hire that chick
photographer I told you about?
Of course I did.
I did that
because she has some
very reasonable rates.
We're fine.
Her portfolio was really
Great.
Great.
Um, there's just
one problem though.
What's that, boo?
There is no spa
called Heaven
and the photographer's
an old queen.
Is that right?
Hey, Mike.
Hey, hey.
You didn't do any of the ***
I asked you to do, did you?
Come on, Colleen.
I, uh
I thought this was something
you wanted to do.
It is.
Okay.
Then why aren't
you doing ***?
Maybe because I have nuts.
Not for long.
She's really laying
into him, huh?
Yeah, sucks dude.
What are you doing?
What's this?
I don't know.
I was picking
that chick's brain
and I got, like,
inspired I guess.
What chick? Wait
Yowsa.
That chick?
Yeah, Emily,
she works here.
Oh, my God.
She looks like the
chick from the bridal magazine
that I was reading
while I was taking a ***.
Hey, you gonna try
and *** her?
Nah, bro, I'm not
in that mode right now.
What are you talking about?
Getting laid mode?
I didn't realize there
was a not getting laid mode.
She's single.
How do you know?
You guys have
a little girl chat?
Huh? Heh, I'm kidding.
Come on.
You're my best gay friend.
Dude.
Why don't you go
talk to her?
Come on.
No way.
I haven't
crossed the goal line in months.
I wouldn't even know
what to say.
Well, since she works
in a bridal shop, right,
so she's obviously sensitive.
Okay.
And she's probably creative.
And yeah, she's hot, dude.
But that doesn't make her any
different than anybody else.
You just go over and you tell
her that you're marrying off
your friend and take it
from there.
Right.
That's a good call.
All right.
Sensitive.
Creative.
Happy.
I'm going in.
You got like a mint
or something?
No.
All right.
Hi.
Hi.
How you doing?
Can I help you with something?
Uh, no actually I'm just,
you know, I'm
What do you call it.
Looking around.
I'm
Browsing
Yeah.
I'm browsing.
That's what I'm doing.
I'm browsing.
I just love
I love dress shops.
I'm really
I'm kind of a sensitive guy,
you know.
Creative type.
I'm just
so happy today
because I'm marrying
my friend over there.
That's great.
Yeah.
Where are you two gonna do it?
Connecticut or Vermont?
Uh, no, we're gonna do it
here in New York.
Bold.
And who will be wearing
the dress? You or him?
Well, it's funny
Oh, my God!
I'm so sorry.
That's
okay.
That's not how
it's supposed to go.
If you don't wanna participate,
then we can just wing it.
Stop it, Colleen.
No.
We can
get married in a barn.
No.
No.
Would you just stop
being ridiculous.
Because I came down here
because I
Hey, hey.
Why don't we
all just take a nice breath?
I'm gonna speak to this young
man for just a minute.
You better step up, *** head.
What are you
talking about, man?
Just shut up and listen.
This isn't just
about the wedding.
All this planning's got her mind
on something productive
and off the ***.
She loses focus,
she'll be back on that bottle
quicker than you can say
interracial annulment.
Now, get it together!
Hey, Col.
Look what I found.
Oh, my God.
Is that an Upsala?
Yes.
With double lace overlay
and spaghetti straps.
Where'd you find it?
It was tucked away
behind a Kenneth Pool.
It's only 750 because it was
the last one in the store.
Oh, my God, heh.
Yeah.
And you know I thought
it would go great
with this double tier veil
and these heels.
Oh, my God.
Michael, you're like
some kind of wedding savant.
Like a gay Rain Man.
Yeah, instead of counting cards
he counts ***.
Hey, Mike.
I got her digits.
Way to go, bro.
Exactly like you said it.
Talk to her like she was
a real person.
It worked.
What'd you say?
No idea.
But I'm pretty
sure she thinks we're ***.
She's not alone.
You know what?
Foot's in the door.
That's all
that matters boys.
Michael,
I love all this stuff.
Yeah, I guess I got
like a knack for it, right?
Yeah, ha, ha.
Um, would you maybe want to help
us plan the rest of the wedding?
Uh, yeah.
I'd be honored.
Ha, ha, that'd be amazing.
Actually, you know,
I was thinking, and you know,
I don't want to tell anybody
what to do or anything,
but maybe we could just,
like, take this stuff,
right, and just use it
for inspiration.
And we can design
your dress together.
Oh, my God.
Yes, let's do it.
- That'd be
- Yeah!
- Let's do it.
- Cool.
Oh, my gosh.
And Uncle Teddy, I, um
I've been thinking
and I want you to be the one
who walks me down the aisle.
You serious?
Of course I am.
Don't you think your dad
will be disappointed?
Don't you think
he'll blow it.
Well, some guys
watch football.
Others design dresses.
Who are we to judge?
***!
***!
Sorry, I came up so short
in the sin department.
One Van Gogh ***
and half a steak.
Not very evil.
I thought I had more gas
in the tank.
I wouldn't worry about it.
I think we made up for our
lack of gluttony and sloth
with our pure,
unadulterated scorn
for the rest of people
in the restaurant.
- Not to mention the lying.
- Hmm?
You kept on saying what
a good time you were having.
I was having fun.
I was having a blast.
Yeah.
But there was
something underneath it.
You weren't your usual
Do you want some water?
Sure.
Um, I, uh
I'm finished
with my treatment
and they do some scans to find
out if you're free and clear
and I'm waiting
for the results.
Uh, if they are not good,
I have to start
the chemo all over again,
which would suck ***.
But you know what?
I get to pick out
a whole brand new set of ***,
which is kind of
exciting.
And I think
I'm going to go bigger,
which is weird 'cause I never
really wanted ***.
I'm not talking
like Pam Anderson,
two-midgets-just-moved-
into-my-chest big.
Just a little bit.
Just a little bit bigger
than my original ones.
And you know what?
It's funny
because I'm completely obsessed
with other women's ***
like I can't stop
staring at them.
Like everybody,
the doctors, the nurses.
Just people walking down
the street keep busting me,
you know,
checking out their rack.
And then one time I was in
this plastic surgeon's office
and this chick actually
showed me her ***.
Because she thought his work
was really good.
And she wanted me to see,
which she was right.
And so probably
I am going to go with him.
Do you believe in God?
Uh
Sorry, I'm still kind of
stuck on the chick
showing you the ***.
Um
I I don't know if I can
answer that question.
Well, it's pretty simple really.
Yes or no.
It's too complicated.
Yeah, I get it.
I mean, when I was a kid,
I went to Catholic school.
It was very simple.
God is good.
Satan is evil.
You obey the Ten Commandments,
you go to Heaven.
And then when I was pregnant,
I started to have a little
more faith, you know,
just in the world,
or in something bigger than me.
And I even started
going back to church.
And I started picturing
my daughter, you know,
walking down the aisle
in her white dress,
making her
first communion, heh.
But you know how
that story ends, so
But you know when she died
I did talk to the priest.
I asked him, you know,
why she was taken.
And he said, uh,
he said
it was a mystery.
Like it was some
big magic show, you know.
But at least
I don't have to worry about
leaving her
behind on her own.
I mean,
that must bug you, right?
What would happen
to your kids.
Don't you think about death
all the time in your job?
No, not really.
I mean, you can't
You can't really
think about that.
You run in.
You run out.
Run back in.
You have to
kind of do it hardcore.
Balls to the wall.
You can't really think
about death or God
or any of that ***.
Maybe it's easier then,
you know,
not having a belief
in some great beyond.
You know, maybe
it all just fades to black.
I actually
I kind of, uh
I kind of believe
in, uh, something.
Like heaven.
No.
Not heaven, um
Obviously, I've had
a lot of death.
You know, my son and,
uh, my cousin
and all the guys
I knew on 9/11, um
And they, uh
I, you know They
I've kind of heard
from these guys.
How?
Okay.
It's a little hard
to explain.
They kind of appear.
Now, some of this happened
while I was drinking.
But, um, you know,
I definitely
There's no question that they
were, you know, they were here.
It happened a lot.
And it happened enough that, uh,
sometimes there
was something, uh,
soothing about it.
And I just, uh,
sort of liked the idea
they were maybe in this
I don't know like, uh
Like limbo.
They cancelled limbo
and purgatory
and sex with little boys.
All the fun stuff.
I gotta smoke some weed
and hit the hay.
Oh.
Okay.
So, um,
do you feel better?
Oh, yeah.
After you leave,
I'm gonna drink a half
a bottle of Van Gogh's ***
and wait for the ghost
of my daughter to show up.
Oh, and if I die first,
I promise to come back
and haunt you if you
even start drinking again.
That'd be a great reason
to pick up.
Nobody's dying
anytime soon.
All right?
Okay.
See you later.
Looking for these?
How'd did you know?
Heh, how'd I know?
First I noticed chocolate
frosting on the pot handles.
Then sprinkles.
And then crumbs.
I mean, how could you, Lou.
After what Franco had to say?
After it took five guys
for you to pass your physical.
Stress makes me
want cupcakes.
Okay.
How about
another heart attack
What would that?
Muffins.
Really?
And death?
Donuts.
Look, my mom bought donuts after
anybody in the family died.
You got a problem with that,
talk to her.
I mean, I gotta
I got a problem with food.
What do you want me to say?
I want you to say you're
going to go on a diet.
I'll go on a diet.
Now give me my cupcakes.
No.
Look, I heard
what Franco had to say, okay?
And And he was right.
I've been dragging
the crew down.
And I feel responsible for this
whole Damian thing, I mean
It never would have happened
unless I screwed up.
And I screwed up because I'm
so *** out of shape.
And I feel like it's my fault.
All right, listen.
You wanna talk about fault.
Faulty floor,
faulty table saw, number one.
Number two, you want to
point fingers, I mean,
I'm the guy
who convinced him
to become a firefighter
in the first place.
I talked him back, you know,
to jump back on the rig.
All right, so that's That's
not what this is about.
I'm not, you know,
blaming you, okay?
Yeah.
All right?
Is that a mouse?
What?
Jesus, you
Are you kidding
Oh, no.
I'm not kidding.
Sit down.
Sit down!
Unbelievable.
Grown man.
I don't even know
where to begin with you.
You know,
I really don't.
We Could you look at me,
please, when I'm talking to you?
I mean, this is
You really
Eyes.
I can't with these right
in front of my face, come on.
It's like having
a plate of *** on the table.
I think to most normal people,
if you said, okay,
me versus you,
we got a guy
who's got
a giant eating disorder
versus a guy that takes way
too many chances in fires,
which guy is more likely
to die first.
Hands down you.
You're 40 pounds
overweight.
You're a maniac.
You can't walk up
three flights of stairs
without gasping for breath.
You can sprint up
three flights of stairs
into a burning room
with no mask on
for the sheer rush of it.
I'm about to ask you to do
what might be the biggest favor
as my best friend
No.
You haven't heard
what I was gonna ask you
I'm hungry.
I want you to be the godfather
to my new kid.
Yeah.
That got your attention,
didn't it?
All the other kids
are, uh, spoken for.
Between Nicky and Teddy
and Maggie and Janet's
family.
And I just want to make
sure with the new kid
that if I don't come home
from work one night
that he or she
has a backup dad.
I don't know what to say.
Just say you'll go
on a diet, Lou.
If you won't do it for
yourself, do it for me.
Your best friend.
Do it for me.
Do it for the kid.
Can I have one last cupcake?
Do we have a deal?
I'm going in to take a nap.
When I wake up,
if there's a cupcake
on the table,
I know I have a partner.
If not, I know I don't.
Hyman Roth
from Godfatherll?
Yep.
Jimmy was dedicated.
He was tough, you know.
He was a firefighter's
firefighter,
kind of guy
who always had your back.
Like many New York
city firefighters,
Jimmy Keefe loved his job
even more
because of where it happened,
in the world's busiest city,
in the biggest department
in the fire service,
in one of F.
D.
N.
Y.
's
busiest houses.
You know, I thank God
that he ended up
in this house.
Because he was a rock.
He was a real go-to guy.
And a hell of an athlete.
Let me tell you something,
when that bell rang,
he was the first to go.
On 9/11 Jimmy
did what he always did.
He ran in hard and fast
looking for someone to save.
The only difference
that day was,
he didn't come out.
He taught me everything I know
about being a fireman.
He was good about it too.
He never talked down
to a new guy.
You can break
a kid's spirit that way.
But, uh, whatever,
he didn't do that.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
Him and Tommy Gavin,
when I first came
in the house,
they were tough.
I mean, they hold you
accountable
to all your actions
in a burn.
But at the same time,
they make sure you know
how to do things the right way.
I wouldn't be sitting
in this chair
talking to you right now
if it wasn't for Jimmy Keefe,
I'll tell you that.
Yeah.
Jimmy.
He saved my life
several times over
just by what he taught me.
A dedicated family man,
Jimmy Keefe spent almost every
hour away from the firehouse
with his wife and child.
Every spare minute he had
he was at home.
I knew
how much he loved the job.
Every firefighter's wife
knows that.
Or at least they should.
He was so present
and, um,
involved with the baby
and Damian's schoolwork
and little league,
peewee hockey.
I just never had to wonder
where he was.
He was either with us
or at work.
Those are the only two places
he ever was.
He loved her.
He loved that kid.
He loved the job.
End of story.
So you can see
what we're after here.
This is just a taste
of course,
we're still missing
a lot of footage
and this
is just a rough cut.
But this is the fabric
of the piece.
Camera's up.
Whenever you're ready.
Okay.
Look, don't be nervous.
I'm not nervous.
Let me see your hair.
What?
Don't get nervous
when the lights get turned on.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Well, some people freak out
when the lights get turned on.
They get all,
you know, jittery.
What?
What? He's like a
I'm not.
I don't know about that.
I got a little jittery
myself when I did my interview.
You did?
A little bit.
Yeah, I did.
Yeah.
I got jangles.
You got jangles?
Yeah.
What is a jangle?
It's like a twitch.
It goes away.
The jitters or the jangles?
Because mine were a constant
All right, okay.
I'm going.
How do I look?
You look great.
You look really good.
Do this.
Do this.
You're good.
Don't sweat.
Right here? Ahem.
You good?
Yep.
Okay.
Rolling.
You and Jimmy Keefe.
You were cousins,
best friends,
brothers in the brotherhood.
Yeah.
You went through
the academy together.
You got assigned
to this house together.
You arrived down at
the World Trade Center together
on that fateful morning.
- Yes.
- You went in together.
Yeah.
We all know
what happened that day.
How it began.
How it progressed.
How it ended.
Jimmy became a hero.
Three hundred and forty three
men became heroes.
Some of whom had their flaws.
What would you change
if we could go back in time
what would you change
that morning?
What would have been
a happy ending that day.
There are no happy endings.
