PAT: What, are you kidding me? Sundays?
I love Sundays. I live for Sundays.
The whole families together. Mom makes
braciole. Dad puts the jersey on.
We're all watching the game. Yeah,
it drives me crazy, and yes,
I was negative. You didn't even know
that I loved it, Nikki, but I did.
I just didn't appreciate it,
or you, before.
Come on. Time to go.
I lost all that. I blew it. But you
also blew it. We can get it back.
We're going to get it back.
It's all going to be better now.
I'm better now and I hope you are,
too. And I'm going to appreciate--
Hey, I'll be there in a minute, okay?
Doctor's waiting. Let's go.
I'll be there in a minute.
That's true love.
DANNY: Yeah, that's when I had long hair.
People say I talk about my hair too much.
And it was just the way I wanted it,
but he cut it back too far.
He cut this side back too far trying to
even it up. I didn't tell him to do that.
I said, Just cut it the way you cut it... .
PAT: Once you get in the right frame
of mind, I think anything's possible.
I think we get, we so often get caught
in this state of negativity and
it's a, it's a poison like nothing else.
DR. TIMBERS:... technically, you can take
him out against our recommendation,
but you assume a lot of liability
in the eyes of the court.
And he's just getting used
to the routine here.
DOLORES: I don't want him to get
used to the routine here.
Eight months is already long enough.
PAT: Hey, Mom. Can we give Danny a
ride to North Philly?
DOLORES: What? I don't understand.
PAT: Mom, no, it'll be fine.
It'll be fine.
DANNY: I guess everybody's leaving today!
Hello, Mrs. S. An honour to finally meet
you. Pat told me all about you,
how God made you rich in character,
and you're the mighty oak that holds
the household together, and not to mention
the lasagne you make on game day
when the Birds play.
PAT: Danny was in for assault because
of crystal *** and alcohol.
DANNY: Bad combination.
Yeah. On top of an anxiety disorder.
That was when I was an X-ray
technician with my ADD and my
anxiety. I had a lot of access to
medication and I took advantage of it.
That's when my hair was long, too.
But my hair only grew when I was
older. When I was younger, my
hair didn't grow because my brother...
Remember I told you about my brother,
he had a Jeri curl, and
I couldn't get a Jeri curl because
my hair didn't grow long enough.
I was so jealous of my brother...
But Wait a minute, Wait a minute.
Hello?
Yeah! It looks great now.
You like it?
No, It's good now.
Yes, it is.
Wait, you're going the wrong way!
What? Are you sure about that?
I'll bring him back right away.
You lied to me, Pat.
Danny's not allowed to leave.
All right, Mom, just hold on a sec.
Let's just talk about this.
Mom, just listen--
Don't touch-...
... - the steering...
... wheel!
Pat, this whole thing was a mistake.
I'm sorry, Mom. You okay?
I am out on a limb for you
with the courts right now.
It's my fault. Pat didn't know.
Pat didn't know. He's my friend,
so he was rooting' for me. I'm having'
a disagreement with the hospital,
but we're working it out.
Take me back to the hospital,
but take Pat home, he's fine.
Trust me. You'll see,
he's fine. It's my fault.
Mom, can we stop at the library? I want to read
Nikki's entire English high school syllabus.
Mom, it's a good thing. I'm remaking myself.
DeSean Jackson.
What happened to DeSean Jackson?
Come on, tell me that one.
It's insanity. He spikes the ball at the one
yard line. The one ***-yard line.
I mean, get into the end zone, dummy.#
I mean, he celebrates before he's even in!
You know something? It's nothing new.
Your team does that all the time.
They get close...... and then they blow it.
They got an inferiority complex.
Wait a minute, what are you talking about?
What makes the Cowboys America's Team?
Because we are, we're America's Team.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
We're in Philadelphia,
what's the matter with you?
You're a *** traitor.
What's more American than a cowboy?
You know what's more American?
What?
Benjamin Franklin,
that's what's more American.
Benjamin Franklin?
Benjamin Franklin. The founder of
our country, here in Philadelphia.
You mean the guy with the...
... little glasses and the long scraggly hair?
What about the lightning with the kite?
He stood in the storm with a kite.
If he wasn't on the hundred dollar bill, nobody...
... would even know who he is.
What are you doing? No, no, no, no.
Don't touch them, don't touch them.
I didn't even touch em. Why are you--,
don't blame me.
Who did this? Who took,
who took, who took the...
the remotes like this? Did you do this, Randy?
No, I dont touch them. As a matter
of fact, I dont know why you need so many.
Hey, there she is! Look how beautiful!
What!!
Whats this?
Everything good?
Mm-hmm.
Ahh.
Where is it?
It's right here.
You got it. Ahh, well, we got that.
We don't want them to steal that.
You still got yours?
Yeah, I got mine.
So what, you don't talk to me? You
didn't tell me you took him out.
Well, he's ready. Look at him.
You didn't tell Dad
you were picking me up?
Don't worry about that.
I want to make sure when you come out
that you're okay, and
she didn't say anything.
You didn't tell me?
The court said yes. Don't worry.
Yeah, but what did the doctor say? Because
the, the court listens to the doctor.
Yeah, and the court said-
The court listens to the doctor, the doctor-
Dad, relax. The court said it's fine, okay?
Let it go.
Don't worry.
Dad, I'm in there because of the court.
That's the agreement that we made months ago.
It was a plea bargain with the courts.
The lawyer, he instructed me, he said
that what we should plead that, and
then I would serve eight
months and then I'd get out.
It's all under control.
Well... okay, okay. Congratulations.
Thank you.
So what are you doing with yourself?
You know, I'm going to start a restaurant.
It's going to be a cheese steak place.
How you going to pay for it?
I'm going to pay for it,
don't worry about it.
From your bookmaking?
Who told you that?
Mom told me. Outside.
I did not. No, I didn't.
You just told me outside, Mom,
what are you talking about?
Five minutes ago, we were walking up the
stairs, you said, Don't say anything,
but Dad lost his job and he's bookmaking.
Why, Dolores? Why did you say that
to him? He has the wrong idea.
Everything's fine, Patrick.
I'm more concerned about you than anything else.
Good, Dad. Good.
Okay, the question, the big question, is
what are you going to do with yourself?
What am I going to do? I'm getting in shape,
I'm getting trim,
I'm getting really fit for Nikki.
I'm going to read Nikki's teaching
syllabus and get my old job back.
Nikki sold the house. She left.
Didn't your mother tell you that?
Let me tell you something. You don't know
anything about my marriage, okay, Dad?
All right? Our marriage...
we're very, very much in love,
okay? Just like you two.
Listen, Patrick, she's gone. She's
not around anymore. Nikki left.
What are you doing, Dad?
You know what? Excelsior. Excelsior.
What does that mean?
It means you know what I'm going to do,
I'm going to take all this
negativity and use it as fuel and
I'm going to find a silver lining,
that's what I'm going to do.
And that's no ***.
That's no ***. That takes work
and that's the truth.
What the ***?!
Stupid *** book!
I just can't believe Nikki's
teaching that book to the kids.
I mean the whole time
-let me just break it down for you
- the whole time you're rooting for
this Hemingway guy to survive the war
and to be with the woman that
he loves, Catherine Barkley...
It's four o'clock in the morning, Pat.
... and he does. He does.
He survives the war, after getting
blown up he survives it,
and he escapes to Switzerland with
Catherine. But now Catherine's pregnant.
Isn't that wonderful?
She's pregnant. And they escape up
into the mountains and they're
going to be happy, and they're going to
be drinking wine and they dance --
they both like to dance with each other,
there's scenes of them
dancing, which was boring,
but I liked it, because they were happy.
You think he ends it there?
No! He writes another ending.
She dies, Dad!
I mean, the world's hard
enough as it is, guys.
It's *** hard enough as it is.
Can't somebody say,
Hey, let's be positive?
Let's have a good ending to the story?
Pat, you owe us an apology.
Mom, for what, I can't apologize.
I'm not going to apologize for this.
You know what I will do?
I will apologize on behalf of
Ernest Hemingway,
because that's who's to blame here.
Yeah, have Ernest Hemingway
call us and apologize to us, too.
Why didn't you run with me?
Huh!!
I was reading.
Please. Do us a favour,
don't read for a while.
What are you wearing a garbage bag for?
I'm going to go run now.
Wait, wait, wait.
You have to fix this window.
I'll fix it when I get back.
Fix it now.
Get in the car, Pat.
You have to go to therapy.
I don't want to go to therapy.
You have to go. It's part of the deal.
You can't live with us and not go.
Is that song really playing?
We have music sometimes.
That song is killing me.
Could you please turn it off?
I can't.
What do you mean, you can't?
I don't have the controls.
I'm sorry, I-
Did Doctor Timbers put you up to this?
Is there a speaker here?
Is, is the speaker here?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Okay... I'm sorry.
I'll fix all this, okay?
That was a messed up thing you did,
Doctor Patel. Alright!
That's a messed up thing.
I'm sorry, but that's... .
You can call me Cliff, please.
Yeah, well, Cliff, that's not the way you're
supposed to meet people, okay?
You should write that down
in your, I don't know
your little book you
write stuff down in.
I'm sorry about that song. I just wanted
to see if it was still a trigger for you.
Bravo. It's a trigger.
I'm not going to take any meds,
I should just tell you that right now.
No, You have to take medicine.
No, I'm not going to take any medicine.
It makes me foggy-
No, you will have to take medication.
I don't want any meds, Doctor.
Look, I am not the explosion guy, okay?
My father is the explosion guy.
I'm not that guy.
He got kicked out of that stadium he beat
up so many people at Eagles games, he's on the exclusion list.
I had one incident.
One incident can change a lifetime.
But I'm ready. I'm ready to take
responsibility for my side of the street.
She just needs to take
responsibility for hers.
What's hers?
What's hers? Are you joking?
Let's go back to the incident.
I come home from work after I..
fight with Nancy, the high school
... principal.
I come home and what's playing
but the song from my wedding.
The song that you so charmingly
played out here today for us.
That's playing and I don't
think anything of it. Which is odd,
cause I should have.
I come home, what do I see? I walk in
the door and I see underwear and
pieces of clothing and a guy's
pants with his belt in it,
and I walk up the stairs, and all...
... ll of a sudden I see the DVD player,
and on the D-...
... -VD player is the CD and
it's playing our wedding song,
and then I look down and I see my wife's...
... *** on the ground and then-
... I look up and I see her naked in the shower...
... and I think,
Oh, that's kind of sweet, she's in the shower.
What a perfect thing. I'm going to find
her and maybe I'll go in there.
We never-...
... *** in the shower anymore.
Maybe today we will. I...
... pull the curtain back and
there's the *** history...
... -teacher with tenure.
And you know what he says to me?
You should probably go.
That's what he says to me.
So yeah, I snapped. I almost beat him
to death. But now I get ***
chastised for it?
I'm parallel to my father? I don't think so.
All right. Can you talk about something
that you did, before or after?
Yeah, about a week before the incident,
I called the cops and
I told them that my wife and the
history guy were plotting against
me by embezzling money from the local
high school, which
wasn't true...It was a delusion.
And we later found out from the hospital
that's because I'm, uh...
... undiagnosed bipolar.
Yeah. With mood swings and weird
thinking brought on by severe
stress, which rarely happens, thank God.
And then the shower incident happened
and that's when everything
snapped, so I then realized that,
oh, wow, I've been dealing with
this my whole life. And without any
supervision I've been doing it all
on my own with no help and basically I've
been white-knuckling it this whole time.
That had to be hard.
Yeah. It's a lot to deal with, especially when
you don't know what the hell is happening,
which I do now. Sort of.
Pat, you have to take your medication.
I can't, Mom. I can't.
I will call them. They'll come for you.
Why would you do that? You wouldn't
do that. Why would you call them?
What's up?
I don't, I don't feel good when I'm
on them, Mom. I don't feel good.
I'm so much clearer without them.
Mom, they make me bloated.
I don't like the way it makes me look.
Why don't you just take your medication?
You've got to take your medication.
Come on, I'm doing it with my physicality.
I've been working' out,
that's what I'm doing'.
Why is he wearing a garbage bag?
Why are you wearing a garbage bag?
To sweat.
Sit down. We're seven minutes in, no score.
Come on, help turn the juju around.
I don't believe in juju, Dad.
Come on, Mister Excelsior. You want to
be positive? Be positive. Sit down.
All right, all right.
Come on.
For a second.
I'll watch the beginning of the game.
He says you're good.... . luck, honey.
What's that in your hand?
It's a... see?
Handkerchief?
Yeah.
That's OCD. That's crazy.
What OCD? I want my son to watch
the game with me, so sue me.
Just sit down, come on. I want you
to watch the game with me.
I'm not superstitious.
That's a small thing that I do.
If I make a lot of money, what's the
difference if I do this or that?
It's a small thing. Sit down. Come on.
I'm making crabby snacks and homemade.
You see?! You see that?!
You're meant to be here!
This is special.
Everything happens for a reason.
That's why you came home. Embrace it! Embrace it!
I'm the reason? I don't think so.
Yeah, Tommy, Tommy, yes, yes.
I got your whole sheet.
Mom.
Yeah. No, no...
... I'm just confirming.
I'm just confirming. Okay.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Can I do. . an interview for a
school project on mental illness?
No.
It's for a school project!
Don't pay any attention.
Who's that? That's not Rick D'Angelo, is it?
That's him.
Is he the guy who's having the problem?
People are stupid.
They, they, they, they don't know what they're saying.
Yeah, that's the one.
Don't let them hurt your feelings.
Pat, don't look for Nikki!
Take your camera and get out of here!
Patrick, please.
Pat!
Patty!
Don't look for Nikki!
Ms. Meckers!
Oh, God! Oh, God!
Nance! This is my lucky day!
Look at you working on a Sunday!
How are you? Hey.
What are you doing here?
I just came by to say hi, to let you know
I'm ready to come back to work.
You shouldn't be here.
I'll work full-time, half-time.
I'll sub, I'll work history,
whatever you want.
Here, let me give you a hand.
I'm sorry. I'm being rude.
I got it. I got it.
I got it.
Let me ask you something.
Let me just ask you something.
Does Nikki still work here?
You know I can't tell you that.
But Doug Culpepper is still here.
Why would you tell me that? You
know he broke up my marriage.
What, are you being, a troublemaker?
You know, you look good.
Did you lose a lot of weight?
I did, yeah. I did. Thank you.
Get away from me! Get away!
I'm better. I just want to let you know,
I'm better now. Okay?
I'm better. I feel good.
I feel so good. Look at my eyes.
Look at my eyes. Look at how clear they are.
I'm not a complainer anymore.
I'm a positive guy. Okay?
You just have to give it some time.
Yes.
You know, a lot went down.
People will get over it.
It'll be all good. It'll work out.
Yes! It will be!
I'm going to take that as
a silver development, Nancy!
A silver development!
That's a silver lining!
Good luck.
Ronnie! Pat.
There he is! He's back!
Hey.
Welcome home.
Thank you.
Welcome back, man.
Yeah, I'm out.
Yeah? You're out out?
Uh-huh.
Cool, man. Wow, you lost a lot of weight.
I almost didn't recognize you.
Thank you.
I'm sorry I didn't visit you in the hospital.
You know, work's out of
control, you know, she had the baby.
I'm really glad you're back.
I missed you. I really need someone to
talk to. You got to come see the baby.
She's beautiful. And Veronica
wants to make dinner for you.
Congratulations on the baby,
but I'm not buying the invitation.
'Cause you think Veronica
still hates you?
I know Veronica still hates me.
That's not true.
Yes, it is. Nikki always said that
Ronnie's wife keeps his social calendar where
she keeps his balls, in her purse.
That's not true.
Ronnie! What are you doing?
Okay, it's a little true.
But if you think she still hates you,
you're wrong because why would she
tell me to invite you to dinner?
Hmm?
Did you invite him?
Yes.
Well, can he make it?
I don't know yet! Can you
make it next Sunday?
Sure.
I'll see you next Sunday.
Now, you guys are still
in touch with Nikki, right?
Does Veronica still talk to Nikki?
Yeah.
Get in here, please. I need you.
Okay.
As soon as you left, the Redskins threw
a trick play, a pitch out to Randal El.
Andy Reid wastes a timeout challenging
it, loses the challenge, loses the game.
You're in this house, please
show some respect for what I do.
And we should spend time together anyway.
I'm trying to keep you out of trouble, please.
I have very, good news,
everybody. Very good news.
What's that? What's the good news?
Things are looking up.
Oh, are they?
You know what, I knew why they
invited me over. I knew it.
Listen, she might be with that guy.
That, the... .
Oh, no way!
She--, no, she might be with him.
She's afraid of you.
She doesn't want to talk to you.
No way, Dad.
You mean, Doug Culpepper?
Put the phone down. You got to...
Wait just a minute.
... Put the phone down, please.
What are you doing?
Listen--, stop.
You got to understand me. You want to
go back? Well then, stop this!
Pat!
Then don't *** do this.
Don't talk to me like that.
Well then, don't behave this way.
I got... a call asking to...
... check on this house. Pat
Solatano?
Yeah.
Yeah? Missus Solatano,
Mister Solatano, I'm Officer Keogh.
I work this beat.
Look, I heard about the restraining order.
And I heard you went to
your old house and the school.
It's not okay.
I've been assigned to your case, so you're
going to be seeing a lot of me. Do yourself a
favour. Respect the restraining order, okay?
Five hundred feet. You hear what he just
said? You have a restraining order.
Yeah, Dad, I know.
Thank you, Officer.
If you need anything... my card.
Thank you. Sorry. We understand.
Since when do cops have cards?
Tell me one thing. Would you like
to be a guy who goes back to jail
or to the hospital? Hmm? So take your
medication and if you do fine,
we'll reduce them.
Nikki's waiting for me to get in shape
and get my life in order, and
then she's going to be with me. And
that's better than any medication.
Pat, there's a possibility,
and I want you to be prepared for it,
that she may not return. True love
is about letting her go and seeing
if she returns. In the meantime,
if you listen to that song, I don't
want you to fall apart.
So get a strategy, okay? You need one.
Let me say something, I got to say something.
Okay.
This is what I believe to be true.
This is what I learned in the hospital.
You have to do everything
you can, you have to work your
hardest, and if you do, if you stay positive,
you have a shot at a silver lining.
Work on a strategy, okay?
Hey, my friend Ronnie's having this
party on Sunday night and it's like
a real hoity-toity thing and his wife,
Veronica's a real stickler for... .
I don't know, my mom got this Gap outfit she
wants me to wear, but I want to wear a jersey
that my brother, Jake,
got me from the Eagles.
Which jersey?
DeSean Jackson.
DeSean Jackson is the man.
Well, that settles that.
Pat! What are you doing'?
I got to go, man.
Why?
I can't stay, come on. I made a mistake,
I shouldn't have worn this.
Dude, you're fine. I like that jersey.
I wish I was wearing that jersey.
I feel like an idiot.
Are you comfortable?
Veronica's not going to like it.
Get over here.
Plus you got a tie on.
Don't worry about it, you're the guest of honour.
You come however you want to come.
Really?
Get over here.
DeSean Jackson's in the house!
You mean rookie of the year?
Yeah.
DeSean Jackson? DeSean Jackson?
Oh, you wore a jersey to dinner.
Isn't it awesome?
Not for dinner.
Look, he got us flowers.
Oh, that's sweet.
That's sweet, Pat. That's lovely.
And wine.
Hey.
Check this out.
We just redid the whole thing.
Hey.
Wow!
Tremendous. Tremendous.
Isn't it great?
Tremendous.
Yeah, man, I'm,
I'm thinking of redoing it again.
Why?
Because. Got to be making
a lot of paper to do that.
Yeah, we're doing all right, man.
I can't complain.
Isn't the market down, though?
It is down, but you know, she wants
more, so I'm giving her more, man.
Hey, you know my dad lost his pension.
I'm sorry, man.
Yeah.
A lot of people. My uncle, too.
Really?
Yeah, but you know what?
No disrespect, it's not personal,
but this is the time to strike.
You start snapping up commercial
real estate -- cheap -- flip it
over, you flip it over and
that's when you make the money.
But the pressure... it's like... .
You okay?
I'm not okay. Don't tell anybody.
Listen to me.
I feel like I'm getting crushed and-
Crushed by what?
Everything. The family, the baby, the
job, the *** dicks at work,
and it's like, you know, like I'm trying
to do this, you know, and,
and, and I'm like... suffocating.
Holy ***.
You can't be happy all the time.
Who told you you can't be happy?
It's all right. You just do your best,
you have no choice.
That's not true at all.
You just can't.
Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie!
I hope you're okay with Veronica's
sister coming over.
You okay with that?
Who?
Veronica's sister.
Tiffany.
Tiffany and... Tommy?
Yeah. Just Tiffany.
What happened to Tommy?
He died.
Tommy died?
Cops die.
How'd he die?
Please, don't bring it up.
No, how did he die?
How did who die?
Hey, Tiffany! This is Pat.
Pat, my sister-in-law Tiffany.
You look nice.
Thank you.
I'm not flirting with you.
Oh, I didn't think you were.
I just see that you made an effort
and I'm going to be better with my
wife, I'm working on that.
I want to acknowledge her beauty.
I never used to do that.
I do that now.
Cause we're going to be better than
ever... Nikki. Just practicing.
How'd Tommy die?
What about your job?
I just got fired, actually.
Oh, really? How?
I mean, I'm sorry. How'd that happen?
Does it really matter?
Baby, how's it going?
Great, great.
We're going to go on a tour now.
Let's go see the house.
Come on, let's go for the tour.
I've, I've been planning this forever.
I love our house.
I love our house.
I'm really excited about it.
Come on.
Guess what it is.
Oh, it's a television.
It's a computer screen. Nope.
Just keep going, keep going, keep going.
It's a brick oven, it's a brick oven.
It's a light. It's a...
Ooh, ooh, warmer, warmer, warmer.
... it's a drawer at a morgue
where they pull out dead
bodies and shoot them with formaldehyde.
Where would the body go, though?
It's a joke!
It's a... fireplace.
In the middle of the wall?
We have a port in every room.
Gimme an iPod.
Who, who doesn't have an iPod?
Well, I don't have an iPod.
I don't even have a phone.
They won't let me make any calls.
They think I'm going to call Nikki.
Don't worry about it.
Don't focus on that.
I would call Nikki.
I'm actually going to give you one
of my iPods. I have an old one.
Gimme your iPod.
Give it to me.
Thank you, baby, thank you.
Of all the rooms there
are iPod ports in,
I'm happy you brought
us into the bathroom.
I can play music for the baby in any room.
Can you play Ride the Lightning by Metallica?
Pat was a history sub at the
high school, Tiffany.
Ask him about any president, he knows 'em all.
Here's a fun fact.
You know where the term OK comes from?
No. No, I don't.
Where?
Well, Martin Van Buren, the eighth
president of the United States of
America, is from Kinderhook, New York...
Oh.
... and he was part of a club, a men's
club, called Old Kinderhook.
And if you were cool,
you were in the club, they'd say,
That guy's OK.
Cause he was in the Old Kinderhooks.
Really?
Yeah. Pretty cool, right?
That's interesting.
You know, Tiffany's been doing this
dance thing for years and she's
real good at it. She's going to be competing
at the Ben Franklin Hotel.
Oh, really? My wife loves dance.
Nikki loves dance.
Why do you have to talk about me like that?
I'm just bragging about you. Can't
I brag about my little sister?
Don't talk about me in the third person.
Please, gimme a break.
I'm right here.
Just be nice. Just be nice.
Wow, wow, wow. Fascinating.
Sorry. I don't want to be mean.
I know. I know, I know.
What meds are you on?
Me? None.
I used to be on Lithium and Seroquel and Abilify,
but I don't take them anymore, no.
They make me foggy
and they also make me bloated.
Yeah, I was on Xanax and Effexor,
but I agree, I wasn't as sharp,
so I stopped.
You ever take Klonopin?
Klonopin? Yeah.
Right?
Jesus.
It's like, What? What day is it?
How about Trazodone?
Trazodone!
Oh, it flattens you out.
I mean, you are done.
It takes the light right out of your eyes.
God, I bet it does.
I'm tired. I want to go.
No. No, no, no, no. We haven't, we
haven't even finished the salad
yet, or the duck.
I made the Fire and Ice cake.
I said I'm tired.
Are you going to walk me home or what?
You mean me?
Yeah, you. Are you going to walk me home?
You have poor social skills.
You have a problem.
I have a problem?
You say more inappropriate things than
appropriate things. You scare people.
I tell the truth. But you're mean.
What? I'm not telling the truth?
Um, maybe I should drive them home separately?
You can drive them both home. Now.
Stop talking about me in third person.
You can take Tiffany home first.
You love it when I have problems.
You love it, Von, because then you
can be the good one. Just say it.
No... I don't. I don't.
I just wanted to have a nice,
I just wanted to have a nice dinner.
Oh, God.
What is your problem?!
Nothing's my problem! I'm fine.
I'm tired and I want to go.
Come on, are you ready?
You really, you really want to go right now?
Yes, I really want to go!
It's been great.
Okay, guys, the baby is sleeping!
Sorry. I don't want to wake up the baby.
Bye.
Listen, I haven't dated since
before my marriage so I don't
really remember how this works.
How what works?
I saw the way you were looking at me, Pat.
You felt it, I felt it, don't lie.
We're not liars like they are.
I live in the addition around back,
which is completely
separate from my parents' house, so
there's no chance of them walking
in on us. I hate the fact that you
wore a football jersey to dinner
because I hate football, but you can ***
me if you turn the lights off, okay?
How old are you?
Old enough to have a marriage end and
not wind up in a mental hospital.
Look, I had a really good time tonight and
I think you're really
pretty, but I'm married, okay?
You're married? So am I.
No, that's confusing. He's dead.
Wait, what?
What's happening?
Oh, my God. Hey.
Are you okay? Ronnie called. Hey,
is that make-up on your shirt?
I don't know, Mom.
What happened over there?
When am I going to get a phone?
You'll get a phone in due time.
What happened?
Pat!
Mom!
I can't find my wedding video.
Mom, wake up.
What is it?
Where's my wedding video?
It's after three o'clock!
What are you doing?
I looked in here, but this is all your
sewing *** up here, for your
sewing and everything.
Did you put it up here?
What about in your father's study?
Don't go in my study.
Dad, not now!
Would you put it in here? It makes
no sense for you to put it in here.
Patty, what are you doing?
He's got all his Eagles videos and
not one video of my wedding!
Is it here? I mean... . ?
Patty!
It's probably in the attic.
Are you going in my study?
It feels to me like you want to
hide my wedding video.
Please stop yelling!
I'm not yelling, Mom, I'm just frustrated
because I should have my *** wedding video!
Pat! Pat!
I looked over there!
I already looked all over there!
Calm down, Pat.
I'm not calming down!
I don't give a *** who hears,
I'm not calming down!
Anybody can wake up!
I'm not ashamed of it!
I'm not ashamed of it!
Let the whole neighbourhood wake up!
I...... don't care!
Pat! Stop it!
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
What's going on?
What?
I want it! It-...
Hey!
It's my wedding!
It's my wedding video!
Pat! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
I can't watch my wedding video,
but I CAN hear the *** song
Mom?
What the *** you doing?!
You...... hit your mother?!
No, no, no, no, no!
Stop it!
Get off me, Dad!
Stop hitting him!
Stop hitting him!
I'm not hitting him! He's hitting me!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Police! Open up.
Mister Solatano, I got a lot of calls.
People in the neighbourhood are scared.
I got to come in.
How are we doing in here, huh?
There are a lot of reports from your neighbours,
we got a lot of phone calls.
Nikki is being manipulated and controlled.
You have to talk to her.
Hey, sit down.
Sit down.
You got to stop with these crazy theories.
He's a cop. What are you doing?
It's a medication problem,
but he's fine now.
Oh yeah? He's fine now? You want to
send him back to Baltimore?
We know all about the explosion
at the psychiatrist's office.
What?
What explosion? No. Cliff is lying,
that's not true.
He's not allowed to talk about that.
Jesus Christ, who's that?
Keep an eye on him.
Is this a bipolar episode?
Get outta here, you little ***'
idiot! Get outta here!
Someone, help me! Help me!
You can't tell Nikki about this,
Officer.
Look, I got to make out a report.
No, no, no, listen, sir.
Hey! Sit down.
He's chasing me! This guy's chasing me!
Help me!
Sit down!
I'm sorry. I could just write you a
letter and you could just
let me have five minutes, explaining
how much better I'm doing.
There's a court order against you --
five hundred feet. Listen to me!
... and I'll take that *** camera
and I'm going to break it over
your ***' head, then I'm going to come
back and interview you about
what it's like to get that ***'
camera broken over your head!
Youwa--, what are you laughing about?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
Go back to sleep. The party's over.
Show's over.
... this is not a reflection of where I'm at.
You can't... please,
you can't tell her any of this
You can't tell Nikki about this.
You need to pipe down.
Everything all right?
Who was at the door?
Who was that, Dad?
It was that kid with the camera.
Good luck. I got to write this up.
Come on, don't write it up!
I don't want her to see this!
It's okay, everything is okay.
We're fine, thank you,
we appreciate it. Thank you.
Hey!
What the hell?
What happened to your face?
Weight lifting accident.
That sounds like ***.
Why'd you run by my house?
Did our little conversation
get you upset last night?
Hey, this is my route,
okay? Just back off.
This is my neighbourhood.
You just ran by my house.
I like to run by myself, okay?
Me too.
Hey, I like to run alone! Will you stop?
What?
Okay? I'm running here!
Me too!
Well then, why don't you run somewhere
else?
There's a *** ton of roads to run in!
What are you trying to do?
I like this road. This is my neighbourhood.
Oh, come on, please!
Calm down, crazy.
Hey!
What the ***?!
I'm married!
So am I!
What the *** are you doing?
Your husband's dead!
Where is your wife?
You're crazy!
I'm not the one that just got
out of that hospital in Baltimore.
I'm not the big ***!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I was a big ***, but I'm not anymore.
There's always going to be a
part of me that's sloppy and dirty,
but I like that, with all the other
parts of myself. Can you say
the same about yourself, ***?!
Can you forgive?
Are you any good at that?
You seemed to have trouble last night.
Let me just set the record
straight about last night.
Hurting my mother was a
mistake and I hate myself for it,
and I hate my illness and I want to control it.
My father, on the other hand, had no trouble
slapping the *** out of me
last night, which I did not return
cause I could've killed him and I
didn't. He's sixty-five years old.
You don't think I could've beat
the *** out of him? I mean... .
He was scared for your
mother and you hurt him as well.
Yes, last night was a mess. Okay? And I think
he probably just tried to do his best.
Pat, you have to have a strategy.
I told you earlier.
You need to recognize these feelings coming
to you, otherwise you will be sent
back to Baltimore. So when you get
these feelings, you need to get to
a quieter place, and be at peace
with yourself, however you can.
Yeah, but that's easier said than done.
You have to do it. You have no choice. Excelsior.
Yeah, Excelsior. Listen,
I have a letter I want you to give Nikki,
okay?
No.
Why?
Because you have a restraining
order.
What good are you, man?
Why did you have this
overwhelming urgency to see your
wedding video last night?
Oh, I don't know, because I'm married
and I haven't seen my wife
in eight and a half months?
Maybe you think that Nikki's not around
and Tiffany's an attractive
girl and if you get drawn towards Tiffany,
you will spoil your
chances of getting Nikki back to you?
Not bad, Doctor Jones.
But I don't think I'm going to blow it
with Nikki because Tiffany's a ***.
Why is she a ***?
After the dinner at Ronnie's,
she said, quote, "We can go to the back house and you can
*** me as long as we turn the lights out. "
Unquote. And she still wears her wedding ring.
So she's a loyal, married-to-a-dead-guy ***.
Maybe she just needs a friend and
she thought if she offers you sex,
it will be easier for you to
become friends with her.
She said she's not a *** anymore,
but she likes that part of herself
along with all the other parts of
herself and can I say the same?
Can you?
Is that... . ? You're asking me, you're
really asking me that question?
Yes.
With all my crazy sad ***?
What, are you *** nuts?
Pat, the silver lining thing is yours.
I'm just giving back your
words to you.
This "crazy sad ***, " as you call it, made you a
happier, calmer person with a
beautiful positive philosophy of
going outdoors, working out, and reading books.
No, not the books.
You said Nikki's friends with
Ronnie, Veronica and Tiffany. So if
you become friends with Tiffany,
Nikki will think that you're a kind,
generous, large-hearted
person, who helps people in need,
who is basically thriving. So if
you help Tiffany, it will be good for you.
Hey!
How do you know when I run?
I wanted to clarify something.
I just want us to be friends.
Did you hear what I said?
Why are you giving me such a hard time?
No, I'm not giving you a hard time.
I don't know how to act
with you when you do this ***.
You want to have dinner at this diner?
Pick me up at seven thirty.
Happy Halloween.
Hi.
Here you go.
Thank you.
I'm going to have a bowl of your Raisin Bran.
Great!
Tea
Be right back.
You look nice.
Thanks.
Raisin Bran. Milk.
Thank you.
You want to share this?
Why did you order Raisin Bran?
Why did you order tea?
Because you ordered Raisin Bran.
I ordered Raisin Bran because
I didn't want there to be any
mistaking this for a date.
It can still be a date if you order Raisin Bran.
It's not a date. So how's your thing
going -- your dancing thing?
It's good. How's your restraining order?
I wouldn't actually call the
restraining order "my thing,
but getting back with Nikki is,
and I've been doing pretty well.
Except for a minor incident at the doctor's office.
And the so-called incident with the weights.
Yeah. That was a thing with my parents.
I wish I could just
explain it all in a letter to Nikki because
it was minor and I could
just explain it and let her know
that I'm actually not out of
control and that I'm actually doing really well.
I can get a letter to Nikki.
I see her sometimes with my sister.
It would be so amazing if you could
get a letter to Nikki from me.
I'd have to hide it from Veronica.
She's not into breaking the law,
which this letter would definitely be doing.
But you would do it?
I'd have to be careful.
I'm already on thin ice with my family,
you should hear how I lost my job.
How did you lose your job?
By... having sex with everybody in the office.
Everybody?
I was very depressed after Tommy died.
It was a lot of people.
We don't have to talk about it.
Thanks.
How many were there?
Eleven.
Wow.
I know.
I'm not going to talk about it anymore.
Okay.
Can I ask you one more question?
Were there any women?
Yes.
Really?
Yes.
What was that like?
Hot.
Jesus Christ. Was it like... older women,
a sexy teacher who wants to seduce you-
Made me sit on her lap and do things? Yeah.
What? You sat on her lap?
Mm-hmm.
She told you what to do?
Mm-hmm.
Oh... my God.
Nikki hated when I talked like this.
Made me feel like such a pervert. Maybe
we should change the subject.
I don't mind it.
You don't, do you.
No. But then people were getting
into fights in the parking lot at
work, and in the bathroom... and the
boss called me in to his office and
tried to pin it all on me. So I accused
him of harassment and then
they fired me,
sent me home and put me on some meds.
I get it. The song that was playing when my wife...
was in the shower with the history teacher...
I heard about that.
... it was my wedding song and when
I hear it, I go kind of crazy.
Sometimes I hear it when it's not even playing.
Wow.
Yeah. So they put me on medication,
which I feel ashamed of.
Yeah.
So I know.
You do.
I just got to get a strategy, you know?
Me too.
We'd better get back to the letter.
Yeah, let's get back to the letter.
What if you told Nikki when
Veronica was in the bathroom?
Yes. Yes, that could work. I love that.
Oh, my God, I'm going to go home
and write the letter right now.
Can I at least finish my tea?
Wait, what?
My tea. Can I finish it?
Wait a minute.
Did Veronica tell Nikki about our dinner?
Why would she do that? Was it a test?
I kind of got that feeling, yeah.
*** it. I knew it.
It was a test. How did I do?
I think I did pretty well.
Yeah, she said you were cool, basically.
Basically? Was I some percentage not cool?
No, she said you were cool, but you know.
No, I don't know.
Sort of how you are. It's fine, relax.
What do you mean? How am I? What does that mean?
Sort of like me.
"Sort of like you"?
I hope to God she didn't tell Nikki that.
Why?
Because, it's just not right,
lumping you and I together,
I mean, it's just wrong.
And Nikki wouldn't like that.
Especially after all the *** you just told me.
You think that I'm crazier than you.
Because, well, we're different, I mean-
Oh, my God. Ugh. You're killing me.
You know what? Forget I offered to help you.
Forget the entire *** idea.
Cause that must have been
*** crazy because
I am so much crazier than you.
Keep your voice down.
I'm just the crazy *** with a dead husband!
Forget it!
Shut the *** up.
*** you!
You shut the *** up!
Tiffany! Hey! Tiffany!
Slow down, Raisin Bran.
Hey, come on. Look,
I don't think you're crazy, all right?
Yes, you do.
No, I don't.
You told your therapist that you
were in a superior mental illness
category, didn't you?
What? Hey, calm down! Hey-
Just leave me alone!
Can I just explain myself, please?
I didn't want Nikki to think that I
was associated with that kind of
*** behaviour because I've never
done anything like that, okay?
You may not have
experienced the *** that I did.
But you loved hearing about it, didn't you?
You are afraid to be alive, you're
afraid to live. You're a hypocrite.
You're a conformist. You're a liar. I opened
up to you and you judged me.
You are an ***.
You are an ***!
Get off of me! Get off!
You're harassing me!
Hey, hey!
He's harassing me!
Get off!
Take it easy. Dude, relax.
He's harassing me!!
Bro, get off of me.
He's harassing me!!
Hey, hey, stop, stop. Stop, all right?
Hey, get off of me! Shut up, shut up.
Stop it.
Hey, hey, hey, get off me!
What are you doing?
Come on. What are you doing?
What are you doing to these kids?
Are you being a punk on
Halloween with these kids?
You want to go back to Baltimore?
Is that what you want to do?
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't-
It's the kids!
Honestly He didn't do anything,
it was all the kids.
Let's go, clear out, nothing going on here.
Come on man what you going to do about that song?
You going to go your whole life scared of that song?
It's just a song.
Don't make it a monster.
Come on breath!
There's no song playing. There's no song.
That's it.
That's it. There you go.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I took it too far.
I'm sorry.
Hey, is he messing with you?
No, no. No, this was just a joke.
This is a joke I started.
There's a restraining order on this guy.
I know, I have a stupid sense of humour.
That's not a good thing to do.
Well, I'm *** up.
What can I tell you? I'm sorry.
You're Tommy's widow, right?
Yes, I'm Tommy's crazy *** widow, minus
the *** thing for the most part.
You're a funny girl.
You want to get a drink sometime?
What'd I say? She doesn't,
she doesn't do that anymore.
I'm sorry about what I said in the diner.
I know. I know you didn't mean it.
I didn't mean it at all.
I know, you say *** you don't mean all the time.
All the time. I'll still give your
letter to Nikki, don't worry.
Wow. I really appreciate that, Tiffany.
I know you do.
You do? Yeah, sure.
I'll see you tomorrow? With the letter?
I'll bet I know what
happened if only one is missing.
Either Dolores or Pat needed an
envelope and one of em took it.
That's the only answer. No, no, no.
Dolores, somebody was in my study.
Who took one of my envelopes?
Somebody took an envelope.
Maybe we should call the FBI.
Don't make fun. This is serious.
What FBI? Come on, let's take a
look. I'll show you what this is.
I'm going to just explain to you something.
I mean, you know what
I'm doing, honey. This everything, like this.
I got this, it all corresponds.
Dad, I borrowed one of your envelopes.
I hope that's not a problem
No, it's not okay. It's not okay.
You got to ask.
Do not go in my study or I will eat you!
It's not funny, it's not funny.
What's everybody making a joke out of this for?
Dolores, you are so beautiful!
Stop that! Hey, hey, hey, stop, stop, stop!
Listen, a lot of envelopes go in
and out of my office every day
after games with a lot of cash in
em. So show some respect for what I do.
Yeah, I know. I saw two-seven-four.
I just wanted to tell you the number.
Thank you.
But the envelope was empty.
I'm sorry, you were sleeping.
I didn't want to wake you,
but I needed an envelope.
You didn't want to wake me?
He didn't want to wake me.
He doesn't have a problem complaining
about Ernest *** Hemingway.
He doesn't have a problem asking
for his wedding video-
Be nice. It's game day! I'm making
crabby snacks and homemade.
Yeah, come on, Dad, be nice. Come
on, she's making crabby snacks and
homemade. Come on, Dad!
What are you so up about?
He's very happy. I'm happy.
No, you're so up, up, up, up.
Isn't that a good thing?
You're just up, up, up.
I don't know what that is.
Are you taking the proper
dosage of your medication?
Am I taking the right dose?
Of course I am.
Okay. Taking a little bit
too many or something?
No, if I was taking that,
I'd be on the floor, Dad.
Just stay with us. Stay for the game.
Spend some family time.
Dad, I can't. Look, I'm ready to go.
Spend family time. Wait, you mean OCD,
superstitious time?
Come on, your dad needs a winner.
Help him out.
Come on. I can't. It's the Seahawks.
Put on the jersey and stay, please.
Please. It's important, please.
What are you up to, Pat? Nothing, come on.
What's in the envelope?
Yeah, what are you doing? What's in that envelope?
Guys, I'm beating the song!
I'm on the scoreboard!
I'm playing down field! I feel great!
Hey, how you doing'? Is Tiffany here?
What do you want with her?
Is that another creep?
What do you want, creep? Just beat it.
Whoa, no, no, no. No, I'm married.
Oh, great, a married creep. I'm her friend.
We go running. Have you guys not
seen us? I took her to the diner.
She's not here.
Hi, guys. How's it going? Hey.
Is Tiffany home? Go away.
I know her. I know her,
we've dated. We still date.
What are you doing here?
I've called her, I've texted her.
I still haven't heard back.
We used to work together-
Just get the hell out of here...
I just wanted to give you
my card to give to her.
Another rude creep.
Listen to what he's saying.
Listen to what he's saying.
What's he saying?
He's saying you're being rude.
How am I being rude?
Oh, you know. You know. Come on.
Sometimes it's okay with girls like this,
they want to have fun and sometimes -
-it's not because they got a
broken wing, and they're hurt,
and they're an easy target. And in
this case, in this particular case,
I think that wing is being fixed.
And you got to make sure it gets mended.
And you're getting' in the
way of that right now, okay?
Because she's sensitive and she's
smart, she's artistic.
This is a great girl and you got to be
respectful of that. Come on.
Let me walk you down to your car.
You're a better guy than this.
I can see it in your eyes. She just texted me!
Hey! Hey, wait a second! What are
you doing? What happened?
How come you weren't outside?
What the hell's going on?
I can't, I can't do it.
What do you mean, you can't do it?
You can't do what?
I can't give the letter to Nikki.
Tiffany, what are you talking about?
What do you mean you can't
give the letter to Nikki?
Because what am I getting in return?
What are you doing for me? You
said! You said if I wrote a letter,
you'd get it to Nikki. I know.
That was the set-up.
Because I do this time after time
after time, I do all this *** for
other people and then I wake up and,
and I'm empty, I have nothing!
What are you talking about? You
seem like you're a tough girl to
me. Why don't you just do things on your own?
I always get myself in these *** situations.
I give
everything to other people and nobody
ever, I never -- I don't get
what I want, okay? I'm not my sister.
Alright, well, ask for you. What can I do for you?
I can't do it. Tiffany,
what do you want me to do?
Think of something. There's this thing.
There's a thing, okay. What kind of thing?
It's a thing, it's a thing. It's a,
it's a dance thing.
It's a dance thing, all right.
It's a competition thing at
the Benjamin Franklin Hotel.
Tommy would never do it with me
and I missed it every single year.
Well, Tommy's dead,
so he's not going to *** do it.
Would you please!
I don't have a filter when I talk.
Can we have one conversation
without you reminding me that my
*** husband is dead?
Yes, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. Okay, I'm sorry.
But I can only do it if I have a partner...
and now I'm about to miss
it for another year.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
I'm not going to ***' dance with you.
What are you talking about?
What, your schedule is so busy?
Grapes of Wrath and watching
football with your dad?
Tiffany, I'm not going to do a dance with you.
All right, then I'm not giving
her your *** letter.
Wait a second!
But you promised you would do this.
Think about it.
Well, I already did do something for you, you know.
I took care of that jerk off
that was in front of your house.
What? Jordie?
Let me ask you something. Do you
call him when you're lonely?
That encourages him, Tiffany.
You shouldn't do it.
Couldn't you say the same about you and Nikki?
It's not at all like me and Nikki.
What are you talking about?
We're in love and we're married.
It's completely different.
How are you in love? Tell me about that.
The big Nikki love.
Tell me about it, I want to understand it.
We have a very unconventional chemistry,
it makes people feel
awkward, but not me. She's the most
beautiful woman I've ever been with.
Wow. It's electric between us,
Okay? Yeah, we want to change each other,
but that's normal, couples want to do that,
I want her to stop dressing like she dresses,
I want her to
stop acting so superior to me, okay?
And she wanted me to lose
weight and stop my mood swings,
both of which I've done.
I mean, people fight. Couples fight.
We would fight, we wouldn't talk for a
couple weeks. That's normal.
She always wanted the best for me.
She wanted me to be passionate and
compassionate. And that's a good
thing. You know? I just, look,
I'm my best self today, and I think
she's her best self today, and our
love's going to be *** amazing.
It's going to be amazing, and you're
going to be amazing, and she's going to
be amazing, and you're not going to
be that guy that's going to take
advantage of a situation without
offering to do something back.
So think about the dance thing.
Danny, you're out of the hospital?
And you're here on game day?
I'm out. It's official, man.
They didn't convert me to my
Mental Hygiene Law admission status within
two thirds of the maximum length
of my felony sentence, so I'm out.
They had to let me go.
I never understand what he's saying.
Okay, jailhouse lawyer, come on,
let's come back and sit down the
way you were before.
What a treat! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Dad's got you sitting here?
Oh, yeah. He calls me Jailhouse Lawyer.
Hold the remote the way you were holding it before.
Okay. And now you're holding the remote?
And it's working. Your dad's a genius.
Now sit up. And Danny's the good luck charm?
Danny's from you. This is your house,
so it comes down to you.
You're the one. Yeah, you're the one, Pat.
Superstition, Danny. I don't know.
Come sit down.
Don't disappear doing God knows
what with that Tiffany Maxwell.
Dad, Dad, Dad. She's my friend.
Why would you say that?
Oh, she's a mess. You got to be careful.
She goes to a lot of therapy.
I go to a lot of therapy, Ronnie.
What are you trying to say?
I'm just saying- Am I messed up?
Why don't you stop judging people? You
judge everybody. You're the one
who has a messed up marriage.
I'm just looking out for you, I'm just
looking out for you. She's unstable.
What's wrong with your marriage?
What's wrong with your marriage?
Nothing's wrong!
You should have seen when I was at his
house. It's like a circus over there.
Shh, shh. What are you talking about?
I'm not going to hide this.
You need to deal with it.
Stop breaking my balls.
Oh!!!! I got you an iPod.
Whoa! Is this for me?
Yeah. Well, that's my old iPod, but-
Oh, buddy, thank you.
That's so nice of you. Wow.
Thirty-two gigabytes. How many
songs is that? Seven thousand.
Oh, yeah, you got The Stranglers.
You love The Stranglers.
Oh, the Sex Pistols. The Clash.
Got some Clash.
Oh, West Side Story. Yeah, West
Side Story. It makes me peaceful.
Maria, I just met a girl named Maria...
Right, right, right.
And then when I'm angry,
which is a lot these days, I go to the
garage... Metallica... Megadeth.
I start *** smashing ***.
You got to get your marriage together.
I start breaking ***,
and I hurt my hand. And -
Ronnie, that's *** up.
Yeah, but it makes me feel better.
It's like my therapy, you know?
When I'm with Nikki,
I'm never going to do stuff like that...
Whoa, Nikki? What's all this about Nikki?
Pan from the framed photo of Jake on foyer
wall, to Jake on the stairs above.
A restraining order is nothing to fool
with, bro. Holy ***, look at you! You
are fit! You look absolutely amazing.
You feel good?
How you doing, Jake? Good. You look
like Schwarzenegger in his prime.
Didn't I say you wouldn't recognize him?
So, listen, I'm sorry that I didn't come
see you down at the hospital.
You know how those places creep me
out, and the firm's been expanding.
I've been helping Pop with the restaurant
cause he needs to have
a legitimate business. He needs a tax
return. With all the money that
he's making with his bookmaking, they're
going to come after him. And
then it looks like I'm making, I'm
going to make partner at the firm.
Well, I don't even know what to say
to you anymore. You lost your wife,
I'm getting engaged, and I want to be
able to tell you about those kind
of things. You lost your house, I'm
getting a new house. You lost your
job, things are going great for me at the firm.
Maybe stop talking about all the
stuff that's good for you and bad
for him. Just, you know, leave it alone.
We're watching the game.
You know what, I'm just going to, I'm
just going to, I'm just going to stop
talking. I'm going to shut my mouth.
As my friend Danny would say I got
nothing but love for you, brother.
That's right. That's right.
That's nice. That's nice.
Well, thank God, finally.
DeSean Jackson. Yeah. Did it fit?
I wore it to Ronnie's for dinner.
Beautiful jersey. I love that jersey.
Veronica didn't like it.
Veronica hates the jersey.
Whatever you do, watch out for
that restraining order, okay?
Don't let Tiffany get you in trouble.
Pat, you're up to something, I know.
People like Tiffany, or Danny, or me,
maybe we know something that
you guys don't know, okay? Did you
ever think about that? Maybe we
understand something because we're more-
We have a sixth sense. I mean,
everybody's got it. Everybody's
just not in touch with it.
Oh, no. How you doing, Pat? Jesus.
I guess his sixth sense forgot
to tell him the cops were coming.
I'm taking him back to the hospital.
What? No, no, he passed his thing, right?
First of all, check with the latest legal development.
Well, we got a call that they did convert
you to a Mental Hygiene Law
admission status by the deadline
of your sentence, so... .
Wait a minute. Are you an Eagles
fan or are you not an Eagles fan?
I'm an Eagles fan.
Well then, what's the problem? He's
not going' anywhere. Just let him
finish the game, that's all.
The handkerchief is working. We're
killing the Seahawks, twenty-seventeen.
What's the matter with you? Let him stay, please!
I don't know what the hell you're
talking about the handkerchief.
And I'm glad that the Seahawks are
losing and we're winning, but I
got to take Danny McDaniels back to
Baltimore, alright? He can contest
his case from Baltimore.
Not correct about the Mental Hygiene Law.
You're not correct.
Come on. You guys oughta be ashamed of yourselves.
I used the insurance money to build
this. I designed it. All the floors
are hard oak.
It has good bounce for dancers. Wow.
I'm not that great of a dancer, but
who cares? It's therapy and it's
fun. And the walls are good
cause I can play music really loud
without anybody hearing. Where do you sleep?
Upstairs. It's a garage,
I just renovated it. You know, I was
thinking about putting a ballet barre here.
When are you going to give it to her?
What?
The letter to Nikki.
Probably tonight. Really?
Ronnie and Veronica and
I are going to see her tonight.
Oh, I actually changed the first paragraph.
I did this thing about
Shakespeare and how it's very romantic-
Mm-hmm. -and that maybe in the future if
she wanted to go dancing, I can be
able to do that because of all the
training that-No, that's good,
that's really good.
I assume you're a good teacher.
Yeah. I mean, I hope so.
Maybe you can teach us both,
you know what I mean?
And I also mentioned how generous
it is, what I'm doing for you.
Yeah. Mm-hmm. It's really generous.
You know, being of service.
Yeah. To your need. Uh-huh.
All right, let's start simple. Start
at that corner, walk towards me.
Walk across the room.
Can we do something else besides the dance deal?
Are you *** kidding me?
I'm good with a hammer. You want me
to fix something? A deal is a deal.
I know. Okay. I was just suggesting that
maybe there's a better scenario.
Why don't you walk towards me like I'm Nikki.
And the only way to convey how much
you've missed me is by your walk. By your slow walk.
You can't talk. Only walk.
I'm not doing it.
Do it. No. That's stupid.
No walk, no letter. Walk to me like I'm Nikki,
come on. Do it. I'm Nikki. Come on.
You're not Nikki.
Don't look up until you're halfway here.
Yes. Do you feel that? That's emotion.
I don't feel anything.
Has anybody ever told you how Tommy died?
We were married for three years and
five days, and I loved him. But for
the last couple months, I just
wasn't into sex at all. It just
felt like we were so different and
I was depressed. Some of that is just
me, some of it was he wanted
me to have kids and I have a hard
enough time taking care of myself.
I don't think that makes me a criminal.
Anyway one night after
dinner, he drove to Victoria's Secret
at King of Prussia Mall and
got some lingerie to get something
going. And on the way back, he
stopped on 76 to help a guy with
a flat tire and he got hit by a car
and killed. And the Victoria's Secret
box was still in the front
seat. That's a feeling.
Whoa! Slow down. What?
Your father wanted you to have this.
He wants me to have-
all this Eagles information.
It's his living. Um, tell Dad thanks.
Your father expects to spend time with you, Pat.
Football stays out of this place,
so does Lord of the Flies.
Wait, wait, no, no, no, what are you
doing? I'm behind on my syllabus.
I don't give a ***.
What the hell are you doing? Hey, hey!
Did you just throw that outside?
What? You're not going to read that
*** on my time. I can tell you all
about the Lord of the Flies. It's
a bunch of boys on an island and
they have a conch -- they have a shell
-- and whoever has the conch
has the power and they can talk.
And if you don't have the conch,
then you don't have the power. And
then there's a little chubby boy,
and they call him Piggy and they're
really mean, and then there's a
***. I mean, humanity is just
nasty and there's no silver lining.
Wow. That was a great synopsis.
I still need to read it, though.
Who's that? What the... . ?
What are you doing here, man?
If one of your two supervising
physicians loses their license,
then your whole adjudication is thrown out.
How'd you know we were here?
I went by your parents'
house looking for you and they told me
you was over here.
Danny, this is Tiffany. Tiffany, this is Danny.
Hello. Pat told me about you. So
is the girl, that you wrote about?
Yeah. What? He wrote about me?
I'm the girl?
He wrote about you, all right.
What'd he say?
He said you guys was helping each other
out and you were nice and had
a mouth on you, that you were mouthy, but-
Whoa, whoa, that's enough.
No, please, tell me more about
what he said in the letter.
Yeah, anything you want to know,
I'll just tell you. It was nothing.
It was just a very general letter.
Cool. She's fine.
She is my friend with an F.
A capital F.
For friend.
Hey, can I see what you guys are doing?
Yeah. Okay. That's it?
Why? What is it, what is it, what is it.
Can I say something? Do you mind? No.
You sure? Just say it. Say it.
No, please. I think Pat,
you should be facing Tiffany.
Let me show you, Pat, let me show you
what I mean. You got to come at
her with a little bit more soul, man.
You should move more hips.
Just, just sort of come in,
Pat, come in like this. And... .
Okay. Yeah. Can you move em
a little bit more? Yeah, that's it.
Move em a bit more.
You could turn around, too,
there's nothing wrong with that.
Yeah. You're pretty good. Mm, yeah.
Okay, we got it, we got it. Okay. Okay.
Come on, Pat, come on.
A little bit more soul. Black it up, Pat.
Black it up? You know damn well what it means.
I got an idea. Come get some, Pat. Come get some.
Shuffle back, shuffle back.
Shuffle back, shuffle back.
Girl, you got to move your junk.
I got to get out of here.
I got to go see this girl, Tanya.
She lives on this side of town.
Yeah, go see Tanya. Good idea.
Okay, man, hey. I'm going to be there,
man. I want you guys to win!
Bye! Excelsior, Pat!
Excelsior! That's my man.
Lets go!
Pat. Patty.
Where have you been?
Huh?
We got a serious situation on our hands,
you know that.
We got to beat the Giants if we want to
have a chance of getting into
the division, any chance of playing in
the playoffs. Do you realize that?
I didn't realize that.
Yeah, that's the bind we're in.
I mean, I think it would be wise if
we spent father-son time, reading
about the Eagles, talking about them,
just to strengthen the good
luck thing that you're in.
Okay. Yeah? Right. Hmm?
I just wanted to, maybe I didn't, spend
enough time with you growing
up. I spent too much time with your
brother. It might have made you
feel worse about your behaviour, but
I didn't know anything, I didn't
know how to handle it.
I mean, that's what all this Eagles stuff
is about. It's about us, spending time
now. I want to do everything I
can to help you get back on your feet.
That's the whole point. Yeah.
I wish you'd watch these games with
me so we could talk, we could get into things.
So would you, would you just come downstairs
and talk to me and Randy now?
Randy, tell him what I'm doing.
He's betting everything on the Giant game.
Everything.
All the money that he needs for the restaurant,
he's betting on the Giant game.
Tell him why. Because he believes in you.
Is that true?
I believe in you, Patty. I believe
in you. I want you to know that.
So I'm going to bet heavy on this game.
You understand? Yeah.
Heavy. I want you to go to the game with your brother.
You want me to go to the game with Jake?
Of course I do. Does he want me to go?
Of course he wants you to go.
He told you that? He told me, yes.
Even with all his friends? With all his friends.
He trusts you.
He's not embarrassed?
No. I'd love to go to the game, too,
but as you know, I'm banned
from the stadium. Cause I'd love to
see us beat the Giants and take
a lot of money from this ***.
Listen, personally, I think it's a stupid bet.
As a matter of fact,
I think it's ridiculous to bet all that dough
for the restaurant on a game.
Randy. I just hope you heard what I said.
It's like a
family business, it's our family endeavour.
We all stick together on this.
That's how it works. That's a positive, positive vibe.
I made a commitment to Tiffany about
a project, and we have a very
important part of it that we have to
go over on Sunday, and
it's good for me, Dad.
It's making me disciplined and focused, and it's,
it's--, I never would've thought this,
but it's a good thing.
What is this thing you're doing?
Yeah, what is it? What is this project, hon.?
It's a dance thing, okay? There's
nothing more to it, Dad. I swear.
Listen, I need to ask you something.
Tomorrow can I spend half the day with you
and half the day at the Eagles game?
I'm going to pretend that you didn't just ask me that.
Why? These are the two days that you
have promised me and that we have
prepared to nail the big move.
It's not ready yet.
And we don't have a move yet.
I know, but my dad opened up to me
and it was really beautiful and I
want to be of service to him, okay? And
he's worried that the juju from
the Eagles is being *** up and
he's concerned that it's because
I'm spending time with you.
Oh, I messed up the Eagles' juju?
No, you're not messing up the juju,
but the juju is messed up because
I'm not with him during the games.
Guess what? What?
Nikki replied to your letter.
But you can't read it until after
you nail the big move. Go.
Tiff, I'm sorry.
I can't do anything else without reading
Nikki's letter, okay? It's just--,
it's in the back of my head.
We don't almost have it, all right?
I just hope you can handle it. Thank you.
What was her energy when she gave it to you?
She was intrigued, excited, and a little scared.
She was scared? About what? Did she tell you?
Try to stay positive.
I'm just going to read it out loud, okay?
Because if she says anything
that's, you know, is that too much to ask?
No.
I thought you were going to read it out loud.
Okay. Sorry.
"Dear Pat,
It was very emotional
for me to get your letter, as I'm
sure you can imagine, but I'm glad
you took the risk of discreetly
getting it to me through Tiffany.
This gives us a chance to communicate while
I keep the restraining order until I feel safe.
I must admit you sound terrific
and I'm happy that you are
feeling so positive and becoming a more
loving and caring man, which I
always knew you were.
I was moved to read about Excelsior' and your
belief in happy endings. I am also
moved by your act of love to read
the books I have taught at the high
school. I'm sorry you find them so
negative, but I disagree. I think
they are great works of art that
reflect how hard life can be and
they can also help kids prepare
themselves for the hardness of life.
In spite of all these
positive developments, Pat,
I have to say if it's me reading the
signs, I need to see something to prove
you are ready to resume our
marriage. Otherwise I find myself
thinking that we might both be
better off moving on with our lives
separately.
Please don't react quickly
to this, but take time to think about it.
I'm glad you're doing so well. Love, Nikki.
I think I'm done for today, okay?
She said to show her something,
Pat. This dance can be that something.
You would have never
done something like this in a million years.
It shows all kinds
of skills on so many different levels:
focus, collaboration,
discipline. It's romantic,
like I said it would be. It's for her.
Thanks for the letter.
I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
Can I use your phone?
Is it an emergency?
Yeah, kind of.
What kind of emergency?
Well, I'm just doing this project
with Tiffany and I wanted to tell
her I'm not going to be on time.
Just don't make her an emergency,
that crazy girl, you know?
She's not crazy -- I'll just borrow
Jake's phone. It's too bad you
can't come in to the stadium, but I know
you were kicked out, you know,
for beating everybody up. Guess we're
not that different, huh, Dad?
That a bad thing?
No, I think, it's a good thing.
Don't drink too much.
Don't hit anybody. You'll be fine.
Yeah. I'm solid.
This is my little brother Pat.
Hey, how you doing?
So, Pat, what's this
I hear about you just getting' out?
Yeah, from the Looney bin!
What the ***?!
I talked to you about that already!
I told you guys- It's all right.
Huh? No. It's alright.
He's a good dude! He's a good dude.
Oh, ***! The Asian invasion!
They're here every week! No!
Uh, Jake you better get your brother.
Cuckoo bird's taking' off. Doctor Patel!
Pat! Hey! What are you doing here?
You know, we must beat the Giants,
my brother.
I'm not supposed to be seeing you,
right? Outside the office?
Pat, Pat. That's illegal!
Pat, today I'm your brother
in green, not your therapist. I'm so
happy to see you.
How wonderful that you are here!
Hey, Jake this is Cliff.
This is my doctor, Cliff.
Look, two things.
We got to watch that bubble screen for ***'
Manning in the backfield
and we got to make sure we knock the
receivers on their *** on the line of scrimmage.
You can say that again. Those cocksuckers!
Okay, you know what? I don't have
her phone number. If you want, if
you really want, you can call
Veronica cause she does, but I
don't want to talk to Veronica.
Why don't you want to talk to Veronica?
Because she brings me down, man!
She just brings me down.
You have to change. You're not going to
throw the marriage away.
There's some kind of love there.
I know, I used to see it.
You guys have a beautiful thing that
got broken somewhere along the
line and you got to fix it like a chiropractor.
You got to give it a chiropractic adjustment.
Enough with awkwardness! I don't want to
walk in your house and not be
able to say what I want to say.
You're right, man. You're right, you're right,
Eagles, baby! Yeah! Let's go! What
the ***? What's that smell?
Nasty Indian curry! This is America,
baby! Go back to your country!
What, what's wrong? Hey!
Whoa, whoa, what's going on?
Stay back, Pat. Stay back.
Leave the *** Indians alone.
Stay here, stay here!
I'm not going to go anywhere.
Don't get in a fight!
I'm not going to fight. I'm not going to fight.
Hey, not my brother! Hey, hey, hey!
Break it up or you'll be arrested!
What'd you do?
What happened? Dad-
What the *** happened? Dad.
The birds lose, I lose a ***' fortune,
a fortune to Randy!
What the *** did you do?!
You *** lost it!
I thought you said you had it together!
You were solid!
I am solid. I was solid at the game, Dad.
I'm solid, I'm solid now.
You fell apart!
What are you *** talking about?!
Your son was trying to-
It's all *** ruined now.
It's all ruined.
No, Dad!
It's all *** ruined now!
It's all *** ruined!
No, Dad, Dad, Dad, don't!
It's all ruined, you little *** ***!
No, Dad! I didn't do a *** thing!
Come on, Dad!
You loser! You loser!
I'm not a loser.
You *** loser!
You ruined everything!
He was defending his brother!
You *** idiot!
You spike the ball on the one yard line,
Who is this?! Who's this?!
We need to talk right now!
When you make a serious commitment to
somebody, it is not cool to not show up!
Wait a second, I tried to call,
my God, what's happening,
I called--, but I tried to call you,
Tiffany, I-
Oh, really? Yes.
I told you I was going to split my time
with my dad and you, and my
dad was pulling me in one direction.
Doctor Patel, Ronnie-
Well, that sounds great, Pat.
That's great for all of them, but
all of them didn't make a commitment
to me in return for my help.
I'm Tiffany, by the way.
What is this craziness with Tiffany Maxwell?
There's no craziness.
I told you who she was,
I was doing this thing with her.
We had a conversation!
She's *** nuts!
When you started spending time with her,
it all fell apart.
This is the *** reason right here.
You think I *** up the
Eagles' juju, don't you?
Ever since, ever since he was
with you, ever since-
You think that I'm why today's happened?
That's right, you are why today happened.
I'm the reason why today happened?
I think so. Let's talk about that.
Be my guest.
The first night that Pat and I met at
my sister's, the Eagles beat the
Forty Niners handily, forty to twenty-six.
The second time we got
together we went for a run and the
Phillies beat the Dodgers seven to
five in the NLCS.
She's right, Dad.
The next time we went for a run the
Eagles beat the Falcons, twenty-
seven to fourteen.
Wow.
The third time we got together we
had Raisin Bran in the diner and
the Phillies dominated Tampa Bay
in the fourth game of the World
Series, ten to two.
Oh, wow.
Let me think about that. Wait a minute.
Well, why don't you think about when
the Eagles beat the Seahawks,
fourteen to seven.
He was with you? He was with me.
We went for a run.
Really? That's crazy.
There have been no games since Pat
and I have been rehearsing every
day and if Pat had been with me
like he was supposed to, he
wouldn't have gotten in a fight, he
wouldn't be in trouble, maybe the
Eagles beat the New York Giants.
She's making a lot of sense, Pop.
That's all right on all counts.
Does anybody here happen to know
what the official motto of the
state of New York is on the official
seal of the State of New York?
Huh? Anybody? Do you? Do you know?
Excelsior. Look it up.
Yeah, Excelsior. Oh Pat.
Not that I give a *** about
football or about your
superstitions, but if it's me
reading the signs, I don't send the
Eagles guy whose personal motto
is Excelsior, to a *** Giants
game, especially when he's
already in a legal situation.
Unbelievable. Wow.
How did you know all that stuff?
I did my research.
Well, I got to say, I'm impressed.
Thank you.
I got to rethink this whole thing.
I didn't trust it before,
but I got to say, now I do.
Oh, now you like her,
Dad? I have to say I do. Yup.
Patrizio, I feel terrible, you know?
You made the bet, I won a lot
of money, and now look,
your whole family is in turmoil.
Oh, *** off, Randy. You love it. You
live for this ***. You've been
betting against my father for years.
Is that right?
You're twisting the knife right now.
You get off on it!
That's ***! That's not true!
Don't say that!
You get off on it! If not,
then prove it. Prove it.
Yeah, prove it, prove it!
How do you want me to prove it?
How's he going to prove it?
By giving them the chance to win back
everything, double or nothing.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Double or nothing on the Bengals, next
week? Is that what you're saying?
Against the Cowboys.
That's your team isn't it,
Randy? That's his team!
I know who his team is.
When is the game?
December twenty-eight,
last game of the season.
Oh, my God. Same day as the Benjamin Franklin
Pairs Open Freestyle Dance Competition.
Oh God. Randy,
I thought they were America's Team.
Don't you believe in America's Team?
Yeah, Randy, don't you believe in America's Team?
Yeah, I believe in America's Team
but if I win that bet, I win your
book, you're out of action,
you get no restaurant, no nothing.
I like it. No. No, Patrizio-
I believe in the Eagles, I believe in my son,
I'll take the action. I'll take it.
Dad! Patrizio, don't! It's toxic!
I have faith, I have faith.
Excelsior belongs in this house-
Dad- --not in the State of New York.
In this house.
Dad, listen to me.
I didn't know that Excelsior was the state
motto of New York, okay?
I didn't know, either, but now I know.
I know, but listen to me, this is toxic.
Dad, Dad, Dad, this is
toxic, you shouldn't be doing this,
you shouldn't be doing-
Randy, what do you say--
Be quiet, shut up. You already did
enough. Randy, what do you say?
My birds, Benjamin Franklin's team
favoured by one and a half points.
I 'll give you three more.
Patrizio, stop it! And Randy,
don't you take the bet!
In fact, I'll give you ten points. No, Dad! Dad!
Dad! You have to take that bet on the Cowboys.
Dolores, would you stop him? Jesus!
How could you not take that bet?
Even with the ten points I give
you, that's an insane spread to
your advantage. Cowboys are
cowards. And I'll bet you're such a
coward, you won't take the ten.
Plus, are you listening, plus
whatever their score is at the
dance thing. What's that? Tiffany,
what's that?
What? No, no, no, no.
You're crazy to give away that many
points. That's ridiculous!
I won't take that!
However, wait a second.
I do like the idea of a parlay.
What? No parlay!
No! No, don't do it. Don't do it.
Pat, how do they run this dance competition?
I mean, how do they score it and everything?
I don't know, I don't know how they
*** score! We're participating.
We're not, we're not a part of it.
There are people, this is a high-
end dance contest. I don't know. Do
not put it as part of the parlay,
Randy. Don't- They go by the Philadelphia rules.
Each dancer is scored on a scale of
one to ten, ten being the highest.
You have to average the four judges' scores.
Okay, score is from one to ten, right?
And you guys are how good?
We suck. We don't suck. Pat's a beginner,
I'm okay, we're happy
just to be going there.
And how are the people
you're competing against?
They're good. Some of
them are professionals.
They're good?
Better than you? A lot better.
A lot better.
So if I was to say you only have to score five,
I would be really very generous, right?
No, no, that would be amazing if
we got five. Let's not get away-
Oh, come on, we can get a five out of ten!
Gimme a break! Gimme me a break!
We can't get five! Give em a five.
Give em a five.
We can do a five.
What are you talking about, Dad?
You haven't even seen us dance!
That's the parlay.
Will somebody please
explain to me the parlay? Please?
You got to win two bets or you lose
the whole thing. For Pat Sr. to
win, the birds got to beat the Cowboys
plus Pat and Tiffany got to
get at least a five at the dance.
That's very, very manic indeed.
That's the parlay. Shake on it.
You know what?
I'm not going to be a part of this. Randy,
Randy, you're a sickness. You're a
*** sickness, Randy. I'm out.
Pat, you can't quit. I'm not doing the dance. I'm out.
Pat, calm down.
Thank about it. See you later.
Pat, no. What are you doing?
Pat. I'm out.
Here we are again at the one yard line.
DeSean, snatching defeat from
the jaws of victory. There you go.
What does that even mean, Dad? I'm
not going to make that, that, that
connection that you're making with
DeSean Jackson. It doesn't matter
anymore okay? Just because
I have the *** jersey on...
I'm not going to do it. I'm sorry.
You are not a stand up guy right now.
If it's me reading the
signs... if it's me reading the signs-
If it's you reading the signs? You're
reading the signs? Oh, okay.
Pat! You are not a stand up guy!
Pat! I told you not to push it.
Yeah, but he's got to do this thing.
He can't be a quitter.
He cannot be a quitter.
You took that stupid parlay thing, and
now he won't do the dance and
it was very constructive for him,
and you ruined it.
There's only one way to get him to show.
What's that? Oh, what's that?
We have to tell him Nikki's going to be there.
We have to tell him that she's going.
But that's a lie! It's a white lie.
It's a white lie, what's that matter?
That's no big deal.
So it's a little lie. There's no other way.
You know, we got to leave a trail of
bread crumbs so that
he can live his life without ruining it.
No. I don't approve. You can't do it.
Well, you know, I didn't approve
when you called her and you told
her where he was running, so she could
ambush him. I didn't approve
of that, but you did it anyway, so
I'm doing this anyway. That's it.
We're going to tell him Nikki'll be there.
You got to be part of it. We have to do it.
Aren't you nervous to be lying?
Yeah. A little bit. But it's for the best.
... but if it was me reading the signs... .
That's it. Okay.
Hey.
Hey, what's up?
Sorry I'm late.
It's fine.
Come on, it's going to be great.
Nikki's going to be there. You know?
Everything's going to come together.
It's what's meant to be. You okay?
Don't get wobbly on me. I'm not.
We have a dance to do. We have
a parlay. You got to stay focused.
I'm focused. Okay, let's go.
Look at the dancers. You see them? ***.
Hey, Randy, Jake. What do we got?
Dallas just tied with another
field goal, three-three.
I'm worried about the bet.
Don't worry about the bet.
I'm worried about the bet.
Holy ***.
Is this Dancing with the Stars?
Well, you knew that.
Maybe you should've scouted em.
Look at those *** dancers!
You can give me the money now, you know?
Patty, Patty, all we have to
do is we have to make a five.
That's all. You stay here and
watch the game with me.
The birds are better when Pat is with me.
We settled that.
Relax, we're going to do fine, okay?
I'll see you in a little bit.
I'll see you up there, okay? Okay.
Hey, Pat, Tiffany!
Hey. What a glorious, beautiful occasion, man.
Yeah, yeah. All right, buddy,
I'll see you. Alright.
Wish me luck, man.
Excelsior!
Wait, what's this?
What? I thought you were doing it.
Oh, I thought you were doing it.
We're doing a dance thing anyway
for God's sake.
I want you to remember everything.
I want you to remember all of the
good stuff that we have here.
Of course I do. Just check in.
I got to go find Veronica.
Hi, good evening. Evening.
Check in? How many dancers are there?
What?! Nikki? Nikki.
Oh, Jesus.
What the ***?
Sweetie, sweetie. Honey, calm down.
You're killing me. You're killing me!
Tiffany, please.
She'll see how well he's doing,
maybe she'll lift the restraining order.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Pat told me.
He told me you should never throw a marriage
out the window.
Pat did not say that. He didn't say that.
He said it several times,
Tiffany, and this is his chance.
You got to give him a chance.
Bartender! Bartender,
can I get a ***, please?
So, you want another one? Sure.
So what do you do?
I'm a lawyer. Litigator, actually.
Oh, the arguing kind.
And the scores for Santos and Aguilar are:
seven point six, seven point three, seven point four, and
six point nine for an average
score of seven point three.
Three, two, one! Philadelphia beats
Dallas! They are on their way to the playoffs.
Where's Tiffany?
I don't know, Mom. Have you seen her?
You got to find her.
I know, Mom, I know.
Hey, WHAT are you doing?
She's fine, buddy, she's with me.
She's fine? Yeah.
Why don't you shut up, okay?
How many drinks have you had?
I've had two vodkas.
Listen, I don't know what choices
you've made, but you got to deal with
it right now, okay? We're in this.
We're in what?
Next, Pat Solatano and Tiffany Maxwell.
You know, I used to think that you
were the best thing that ever
happened to me, but now I think that
you might maybe be the worst
thing and I'm sorry that I ever met you.
Good for you.
And the scores for Makarov and Tretiak
are: six point seven, eight
point one, seven point five and six
point five for an average score of
seven point two.
They were great and they
only got a seven point two.
This is a tough room.
Got it.
Up next, ladies and gentlemen please welcome
Pat Solatano, Jr. and Tiffany Maxwell.
Damn. Let's go, Patty! Come on, Pat!
Alright, let's see the
scores for Solatano and Maxwell.
We have a four point nine,
four eight, a four nine...
That's really too bad, guys.
That's a lot of fours.
... and and a five point four for an
average score of. . five point zero.
Sorry about that, guys.
Dad, Dad, did the Eagles win?
The Eagles won, forty-four-six!
They won, forty- four-six!
Come on!
Why are they so excited about a five?
How are you? You okay? Good. How are
you? I'm really good. Yeah, thanks.
You looked really happy out there. Did I?
Yeah. Yeah, who'd have thought, dancing?
You look incredible. Thank you.
You lost a lot of weight.
I've been reading your books and,
I have a positive attitude.
I'm on medication, I'm in therapy.
Where's Tiffany? She left.
What do you mean, she left?
She left. What do you think! Where is she?
Let me tell you,
I know you don't want to listen to your father,
I didn't listen to mine but
I'm telling you, you got to pay
attention to the signs. When life
reaches out with a moment like
this, it's a sin if you don't reach back.
I'm telling you, it's a sin
if you don't reach back, and it'll haunt
you for the rest of your days
like a curse. You're facing a big
challenge in your life right now,
at this very moment, right here.
That girl loves you, she really
loves you. And I don't know
if Nikki ever did, but she sure as
hell doesn't love you right now. I'm
telling you, don't *** this up.
I love you, Dad.
Hey! Would you just leave me alone?!
Wait a second!
I have one more letter for you to read, okay?
What the *** is the matter with you?
Give it to her yourself!
Let me say something. You don't
ever have to see me again if you
just read it, alright?
This is so *** up.
Yeah, just read it.
Dear Tiffany...
... I know you wrote the letter.
The only way you could meet my crazy... .
... was by doing something crazy yourself.
Thank you.
I love you.
I knew it the minute I met you.
I'm sorry it took so long for me to
catch up. I just got stuck. Pat.
I wrote that a week ago.
You wrote that a week ago? Yes, I did.
You let me lie to you for a week?
I was trying to be romantic.
You love me?
Yeah, I do.
Okay.
The world will break your heart ten
ways to Sunday, that's guaranteed.
And I can't begin to explain that- -or
the craziness inside myself and
everybody else, but guess what? Sunday
is my favourite day again.
I think of everything everyone did for me
and I feel like --a very lucky guy.
We have to beat the Vikings by three.
I'm giving' you a six, which
is very generous after the beating
you just took. So what are we
doing', what are we talking' about here?
I'd like to do another parlay if we make
it to the next round, that's all.
But we are going to make it to the
next round. We're going to beat...
No, that was me that did that.
No that was me.
That was me. I played the Jack. So
you put the bread crumbs, the
garlic in the steak and you
roll it up with the toothpicks?
Yeah. For, oh, maybe three hours, plus.
Everything's good, everything's
good, yeah. I got you, you're all
down. No, Randy, he's complaining.
You know he lost a lot
of money. He's moaning and groaning.
The restaurant's
happening because of Randy,
so everything's good.
whatever
