Men Don't Leave (1990) Movie Script
WHAT I REMEMBER MOS IS COMING HOME
WHEN IT WAS DARK

MY FINGERS AND TOES

I THOUGH THEY MIGHT FALL OFF.
SOMETIMES I GOT REAL SCARED
BECAUSE I WAS ALL ALONE.
I REMEMBER GETTING HOME
AND MOM WOULD MAKE ME
SOMETHING WARM.
MY DAD WOULD MAKE THIS BIG FIRE
AND RUB MY HANDS AND FEET,
AND THEN...
I WAS SAVED.
WHAT TIME

IT'S SATURDAY.
THEN I CAN
GO BACK
TO SLEEP.
YEAH, GO BACK

SLEEPING.

[REFRIGERATOR RATTLING]
DAD JUST TOUCHES

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

IT WAS
A GREA MOVIE.
THERE WAS THIS FAT KID,
AND HE HAD NEVER DONE IT.
HIS FRIENDS GOT HIM
THIS PROSTITUTE.
JOHN.
THEY WATCHED HIM
FROM A CLOSE WHILE HE DID IT.
BUT IT WAS INTERESTING
AND EDUCATIONAL TOO,
BECAUSE IT HAD
THIS REALLY GOOD STORY.
THIS KID HAD THIS DREAM
TO HAVE A MUSTANG.
IT WAS LIKE FLASHDANCE
BUT NOT AS DEEP.
IT WAS GOOD, MOM.
IT WAS EXCELLENT.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN
WHEN A GIRL SAYS
"I'M LATE"?
I DON'T GET IT.
I'M LATE.
JOHN.
THERE WERE PROSTITUTES
IN THIS MOVIE,
BUT IT WASN' ABOUT PROSTITUTES.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
WHAT WAS IT ABOUT, JOHN?
IT WAS ABOUT GUYS
AND COMING OF AGE
AND GROWING UP.

I WAS THINKING...

IF I SOLD THE HOUSE.
WHERE WOULD WE LIVE?
YOU'RE SELLING THE HOUSE?
THIS HOUSE? MY HOUSE?
OUR HOUSE, YES.
FORGET IT.
IF WE MOVE,
I COULD GE A BETTER JOB.
WHY CAN'T YOU GE A BETTER JOB HERE?
WE COULD LIVE
IN A PLACE
THAT HAS
A REAL KITCHEN
WITH WALLS
AND A LANDLORD
WHO FIXES THINGS
WHEN THEY'RE BROKEN.
WOULD I HAVE TO
CHANGE SCHOOLS?
FORGET IT. NO WAY.
I DIDN'T TELL YOU
THE BEST PART YET.
THIS IS STUPID!
YOU KNOW
WHERE I THINK
WE SHOULD MOVE?
TO BALTIMORE.
NO WAY. FORGET IT.
NOW, I KNOW
HOW MUCH YOU BOTH
LIKE BALTIMORE
BECAUSE IT'S GO WONDERFUL STORES

AND YOU'RE ALWAYS
WANTING TO GO THERE.
NO. WE WERE LYING.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME

DO YOU WANT FOOD
AND CLOTHES?
I'M SELLING THE HOUSE
BECAUSE WE NEED
THE MONEY.
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE
FOR A RAINY DAY?
WELL, WE DID
SAVE SOME.
YOU KNOW,
YOUR FATHER
WORKED VERY HARD,
AND WE OWN
THIS HOUSE.
HE TOOK REAL GOOD
CARE OF US,
AND HE WAS
A GOOD FATHER.
IF EITHER OF YOU EVER
SAY ANYTHING AT ALL...
I DIDN'T MEAN THAT.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT ELSE TO DO.
WELL...
MAYBE YOU COULD
GET A GOOD JOB.
MAYBE YOU COULD
MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.
THEN MAYBE WE CAN COME BACK.
THINK WE'LL EVER BE ABLE
TO COME BACK?
MAYBE.
[ENGINE STARTS]

I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S WARM IN HERE.
OH. WELL,
I'VE BEEN BAKING.
YEAH. I SAW.
HA HA HA!
LET ME HAVE
YOUR WRIST.
HMM?
JUST FOR A SECOND.
IT'S AN OLD
BAKER'S TRICK.
YOU FEEL ANYTHING?
YEAH, SORT OF.
KIND OF.
NOT REALLY.
HUH.
THAT'S YOUR NAPKIN.
YOU CAN USE IT.
OH, YEAH.
THANKS.
I NEVER COOK
FOR MYSELF,
BUT I LOVE TO COOK
FOR OTHERS.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
YOU COOK?
NO.
NEVER?
SOMETIMES POPCORN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
WE SHOULD DO AFTER DINNER?
AFTER WE EAT?
MM-HMM.
DESSERT.
AFTER DESSERT.
WELL, WE COULD
GO TO A MOVIE.
YOU CAN'T VISI IN A MOVIE.
ALL RIGHT. UM...
WE COULD
MAKE POPCORN
AND WATCH TV.
HERE'S WHAT I THOUGHT--
YOU FINISH DINNER,
AND THEN
WE HAVE DESSERT.
OK?
ALL RIGHT.
THEN I TAKE YOU
FOR A DRIVE,
SHOW YOU AROUND
THE CITY.
SURE.
AND AFTER THAT,
WE COME BACK HERE,
AND THEN, IF WE STILL
LIKE EACH OTHER,
WE MAKE LOVE.
REESE MEMORIAL'S

THAT'S WHERE I WORK.
YOU WANT ME
TO PULL OVER?

YOU WANT TO SEE
WHAT I DO?
THAT WAS AN EVENT.
I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY.
YOU'RE UNCOMFORTABLE
WITH MY BEING HERE,
AND IF I WERE
REALLY A NICE GUY,
I'D LET YOU OFF THE HOOK
AND I'D LEAVE.
NO. YOU REALLY ARE.
YOU ARE A NICE GUY.
LOOK, I'M DOING THE BES I CAN RIGHT NOW.
I HAVE TO WORK...
AND I HAVE TO KEEP
MY BOYS TOGETHER.
HAVING AN AFFAIR
IS NOT HIGH
ON MY LIS OF PRIORITIES.
IF YOU DON'T GET IT,
I'M SORRY.
I--I'M SORRY.
I MADE YOU FEEL BAD.
THAT'S EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE
OF WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO.
I LIKE YOU.
I'D LIKE
TO BE CLOSER TO YOU.
IF IT CAN'T BE PHYSICAL,
LET'S GO BOWLING.
DO YOU SMOKE?
NO.
[CLICK CLICK]
YOU DON'T TAKE DRUGS,
DO YOU?
NO.
YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?
NO.
WANT ONE?
MOVE YOUR SHOULDERS
FORWARD.
THEY ARE FORWARD.

JOB FOR YOU.
ARE YOU ARTISTIC?
ARTISTIC?
CREATIVE.
YES. YES,
I'D LIKE TO THINK
I HAVE CERTAIN ABILITIES
IN THAT AREA.
THAT'S AWFULLY
SYMMETRICAL, BETH.
I WAS THINKING
SOMETHING MORE--
I DON'T KNOW--FUN.
FUN.
LET'S SEE. FUN.
UH...
SO MUCH FOR FUN.
WHY DON'T YOU
RUN OUT AND GET ME
SOME MORE BASIL?
I DON'T RUN PLACES,
LISA.
IF YOU WANT SOMEBODY
TO RUN FOR YOU,
YOU SHOULD HAVE HIRED
A THOROUGHBRED.
WELL, EXCUSE ME.
THE NEXT TIME YOU
ASK ME TO RUN, BABE,
I'M GONNA RUN OUT THAT DOOR.
I'M GONNA KEEP RUNNING
TILL I FIND ANOTHER JOB.
IF THAT'S OFFENSIVE
TO YOU, THEN FIRE ME.
OKAY,
YOU'RE FIRED.
WHAT?
YOU'RE FIRED.
HEY, MAMA.
MOM, I NEED A PROTRACTOR.
A WHAT?
I HAVE A QUIZ TOMORROW.
COULDN'T YOU HAVE
TOLD ME BEFORE?
THE STORES ARE ALL CLOSED.
I TOLD YOU LAST WEEK.
COULDN'T YOU
HAVE REMINDED ME?
I REMIND YOU
OF EVERYTHING NOW.
I NEVER USED TO HAVE TO.
YOU NEVER LISTEN.
I LISTEN, MATTHEW.
I LISTEN TO YOU.
I LISTEN TO CHRIS.
I LISTEN TO EVERYBODY.
A PROTRACTOR.
THAT'S THAT THING
WITH THE POINT, RIGHT?
OH, NO,
THAT'S A COMPASS.
THAT'S A HALF-MOON
THING, RIGHT?
I'M NOT STUPID.
I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL.
I'M ARTISTIC.
I'M CREATIVE.
YOU'RE HOME EARLY.
I'LL GET YOU A PROTRACTOR.
IT DOESN'T MATTER
THAT THE STORES ARE CLOSED.
I'LL FIND
A PROTRACTOR STORE
AND I'LL BREAK IN.
MOM,
THIS IS JODY.
SHE LIVES

HELLO, BETH.
COULD I TALK TO YOU
FOR A MINUTE, CHRIS?
BETH,

I KNOW WHA A DIFFICULT TIME
YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.
OH, DO YOU?

I'M PRETTY GOOD
AT HELPING PEOPLE.
BYE, HON.

GOOD TO MEET YOU,
BETH.
[DOOR CLOSES]
I DON'T REMEMBER
GIVING YOU PERMISSION
TO HAVE COMPANY...HON.
I DIDN'T KNOW
I NEEDED PERMISSION
JUST TO TALK TO SOMEONE.
HEY, LOOK.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE
ENTERTAINING NURSES,
YES, YOU NEED
MY PERMISSION.
YOU'RE DAMN RIGH YOU NEED MY PERMISSION.
DAD WOULDN'T HAVE CARED.
DAD ISN'T HERE,
AND I'M MAKING

I WISH IT WERE
THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
I'M GOING OUT FOR A WALK

WHO GIVES A--
HEY, DON'T PUSH IT.
[DOOR SLAMS]
HI.
HI.
HI.
HOW ARE YOU?
[SIGHS]
I FEEL SO...
VERY SAD.
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO GO TO A LAND
WHERE THERE IS
NO SADNESS,
WHERE EVERYBODY'S
FATTER THAN YOU
AND YOU CAN FEEL SMUG
AND GOOD ABOUT THAT?
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO GO THERE RIGHT NOW?
[POLKA MUSIC PLAYING]
DO YOU DANCE?
NO.
YOU DON'T DANCE?

I'M GOING TO SIT IN

OH, MY GOD!
I'LL GET SOMETHING.

IT'S NOT STOPPING.
IT'LL STOP.
I THINK I'D BETTER
HEAD FOR HOME.
OH, NO. NO, PLEASE.

THIS IS REALLY...
OH, THIS IS
INTERESTING.
I'VE NEVER HAD
A REAL STIGMATA
EXPERIENCE BEFORE,
NOT WHILE KISSING,
ANYWAY.
PLEASE. THIS IS
REALLY EXCITING.
OH, I FORGOT MY SWEATER.
I'M SO SORRY.
I REALLY WISH YOU'D STAY.
OH, GOD! I CAN'T.
I'LL PUT ON
SOME APPROPRIATE MUSIC--
THE ENTOMBMENT OF CHRIST.
WE'LL SIT AROUND,
WE'LL FEEL GUILTY,
WE'LL WATCH
EACH OTHER BLEED.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
HERE. CAN I
TAKE THIS ONE?
I'M SORRY.
OH.
WHERE WERE YOU?
OH, HONEY.
I WAS OUT WITH CHARLES.
JEEZ! WHAT DID HE
DO TO YOU?
HUH?
DID HE HURT YOU?
I'LL KILL HIM.
I GOT A BLOODY NOSE.
SURE, YOU DID.
KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN.
DON'T WAKE UP MATTY.
MATT'S NOT HERE.
HE WENT TO WINSTON'S.
HE WAS AFRAID TO BE ALONE.
BUT HE WAS WITH YOU.
HE WAS AFRAID.
BUT HE WAS WITH YOU.
HE WAS.
NOW HE'S NOT.
YES?
HI.
I'M BETH MACAULEY,
MATT'S MOM.
I CAME TO PICK HIM UP.
HE'S SLEEPING.
WHO IS IT?
IT'S MATT'S MOTHER.
SHE'S COME FOR MATT.
I'M SORRY.
WELL,
I'LL GO GET HIM.
HE'S SLEEPING.
YEAH.
HE HAD
A REALLY GOOD DINNER.
HI, DARLING.
ARE YOU
STILL SLEEPY?
HIS CLOTHES

YOU WASHED
HIS CLOTHES?
YEAH. I HOPE
YOU DON'T MIND.
I'LL GO GET THEM.
OH, I'LL HELP YOU.
ARE YOU O.K., MATT?
CHRIS SAID YOU WERE
AFRAID OF SOMETHING.
ARE YOU AFRAID?
NO.
NOT ANYMORE?
NO.
HE SHOWERED TONIGHT.
HIS HAIR MIGHT BE
A LITTLE BIT WET.
MOM...
CAN I STAY HERE
TONIGHT?
DON'T YOU WAN TO COME HOME,
MATTY?
I'M TOO TIRED.
WELL, YOU CAN SLEEP
IN THE CAR.
I'M TOO TIRED.
WELL, IF IT'S ALL RIGH WITH MRS. BUCKLEY.
MATT'S ALWAYS

O.K., GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, BETH.

THANKS, BABE.
THIS IS VERY INTERESTING.
WHAT'S THAT?
READING ABOU POLITICAL REPRESSION
AS IT AFFECTED
THE GANG OF FOUR,
THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC.
I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU READ THAT STUFF.
WHAT IS THAT,
THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS
SECTION?
MM-HMM.
WHOA!
YAMAHA AMP BLOWOU AT MR. STEREO!
EVERYTHING
HALF-PRICE OR LESS!
HON.

IT'S REALLY NO THAT FLATTERING ON YOU.
YOU DON'T LIKE
MY SHIRT?
TRY ONE OF THESE.
HEY, THANKS.
TRY ONE ON.
RIGHT NOW?
RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS REALLY GREAT.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
I THOUGHT OF YOU
WHEN I SAW THEM.
I'LL GET A LO OF USE OUT OF THESE.
O.K., CHRIS.
GET YOUR THINGS
TOGETHER,
AND LET'S GO HOME.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
MORNING, MOM.
I'M HAVING BREAKFAST.
YOU CAN HAVE
BREAKFAST AT HOME.
CHRIS, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE,
BUT YOU ARE NOT TO
SPEND THE NIGHT AGAIN.
BETH, PERHAPS--
MRS. MACAULEY, HON.
MRS. MACAULEY,
PERHAPS THIS ISN' YOUR DECISION TO MAKE.
OH, YOU DON'T THINK SO?
NO, I DON'T.
COME ON.
RIGHT NOW, CHRIS.
MRS. MACAULEY, I KNOW
YOU'RE GOING THROUGH
SOME PERSONAL PROBLEMS--
YOU'RE MY PROBLEM.
I KNOW YOU HAVE
SOME PROBLEMS.
NO,
YOU'RE MY PROBLEM!
I'D LIKE TO HELP YOU.
WHERE THE HELL
DID YOU GET THAT SHIRT?
JODY BOUGHT THEM FOR ME.
I KIND OF LIKE THEM.
GOD.
MRS. MACAULEY, I REALLY
DON'T WANT YOU IN MY HOUSE
IF YOU CAN'T TREAT US
WITH SOME DEGREE OF COURTESY.
WHY DON'T YOU
HIT THE STREETS
AND FIND A NICE
LITTLE 1O-YEAR-OLD,
AND THEN YOU CAN
REALLY GO TO TOWN.
CHRIS,
I WANT YOU HOME.
TONIGHT IS
FAMILY NIGHT.
YOU WILL BE
WITH YOUR FAMILY.
CHRIS, DID YOU SET?
NO, NOT YET.
LET'S SET THE TABLE.
I'M READY TO SERVE.
FROM NOW ON, EVERY WEEK,
WE'LL BE TOGETHER,
DOING DIFFERENT THINGS
AS A FAMILY.
THIS IS GREAT.
IT'S EDUCATIONAL, TOO.
COULD WE GO NOW?
COME ON. WE'LL ALL
SHARE WITH EACH OTHER
OUR THOUGHTS AND EXPERIENCES
FROM THE PAST WEEK.
SO WHO WANTS TO GO FIRST?
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, THEN I'LL GO FIRST.
WELL, I'M STILL
LOOKING FOR A JOB.
I'M PRETTY HOPEFUL THAT I'LL
FIND SOMETHING NEXT WEEK.
I DON'T WAN EITHER OF YOU TO BE AFRAID,
BUT WE SHOULD WATCH THINGS
FOR A WHILE.
CHRIS,
IF YOU FEEL YOU NEED,
YOU KNOW,
MORE SPENDING MONEY,
YOU MIGHT CONSIDER
THE POSSIBILITY
OF GETTING A PART-TIME JOB.
I THINK THE PART-TIME JOB
IDEA IS A GOOD ONE...
GOOD.
BECAUSE I'M MOVING IN
WITH JODY.
THE HELL YOU ARE.
YOU KNOW, MOM,
REMEMBER
WE HAD THAT TALK,
AND YOU TOLD ME I WAS
GOING TO HAVE TO BECOME
MORE OF THE MAN
OF THE FAMILY?
I GUESS THAT'S
JUST WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU'RE ONLY 17.
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO
SUPPORT THIS GIRL?
WHAT ABOUT SCHOOL?
I'M STILL GOING TO GO
TO SCHOOL AND EVERYTHING.
SHE GETS PAID
LOTS OF MONEY.
SHE MAKES
MORE THAN YOU.
[MATT]
HOW MUCH?
UH, COULD I
SAY SOMETHING?
IT WOULD MAKE THINGS
EASIER FOR YOU,
AT LEAST MONEY-WISE.
HOW MUCH
DOES SHE MAKE?
COULD I ADD SOMETHING?
MAYBE IT'S NO SUCH A BAD IDEA.
I'LL STILL BE
IN THE BUILDING.
I CAN HELP OU AND STUFF.
THIS IS NO A GOOD IDEA.
MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER WAY
TO LOOK AT IT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU'RE DEFENDING HIM.
I'M NOT DEFENDING HIM.
WELL,
YES, YOU ARE.
YOU'RE
TAKING HIS SIDE.
WAIT. WAIT A SECOND.
WHO'S TALKING ABOU SIDES HERE?
WE ARE.
WE'RE TALKING ABOU SIDES, YOU AND ME.
YOU'RE STICKING UP
FOR HIM.
YOU ALWAYS DO THAT.
I DON'T ALWAYS
DO ANYTHING, BETH.
I HAVEN'T BEEN
AROUND HERE LONG ENOUGH
TO ALWAYS DO ANYTHING.
I'M GOING TO
TAKE A WALK.
WAIT, MOM. MOM.
GREAT.
THIS SUCKS.
I'M OUT OF HERE.
WAIT, CHRIS.
WAIT, CHRIS!
I WANT TO ASK YOU
SOMETHING.
HAVE YOU LOOKED
FOR WORK THIS WEEK?
YES.
HAS ANY BEEN
OFFERED TO YOU?
NOPE.
O.K. SIGN HERE, PLEASE.
[ARF ARF ARF]
O.K., I GOT IT.
WE'RE SPLITTING
EVERYTHING, RIGHT?
O.K.
THIS ISN'T BAD.
I COULD GO ABOUT 4O.
I COULD DO THA FOR YOU.
THIS ONE HAS FOUR HEADS.
OH. THANK YOU
FOR TELLING ME.
IT'S WORTH MORE.
I DON'T SEE A REMOTE.
DID YOU GUYS
FORGET THE REMOTE?
I DON'T KNOW. NO REMOTE.
IF YOU HAD A REMOTE,
I COULD GO 60, MAYBE 70.
THE WAY WE'RE LOOKING
AT THINGS NOW,
WE'RE TALKING 25, TOPS,
'CAUSE...
YOU KNOW, PICTURE IT--
YOU'RE ON THE COUCH,
YOU GOT YOUR DRINK,
YOUR FOOD, YOUR GIRL,
YOU'RE WATCHING
A NICE PORNIE,
NOW YOU WAN TO FAST-FORWARD
THE TALKING PARTS.
ARE YOU GOING TO GO
TO THE SET EACH TIME?
NOBODY'S
GOING TO DO THAT.
WOULD YOU DO THAT?
NO.
I'D USE THE REMOTE.
ANYTHING ELSE?
YEAH. I NEED
SOME LOTTERY TICKETS.
HOW MANY
YOU NEED THERE?
HEY. I THANK YOU,
MY FATHER THANKS YOU,
AND GOD BLESS YOU.
[CHIRPING]
[WHISTLES]
THESE ARE GOOD.
THEY LOOK SHARP.
DID YOU CHECK
THE RISE?
THE RISE IS FINE.
BETTER CHECK.
I SAID IT'S FINE.
WE'RE FINE.
GOOD.
LET'S TRY THESE.
[WHISTLING]
[CHIRPING]
WHOA!
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[SHOUTING]
[RING]
[RING]
GIVE ME A HUG.
SQUEEZE ME. SQUEEZE ME.
ARG!
HA HA!
FAKING TO THE LEFT.
GOING UP
FOR A JUMP SHOT AND--OH!
7, OH, 6. 8.
SHE'S GOING BACK FOR...
ONE MORE SHOT. SHOT PUT!
OUT THE WINDOW.
HERE WE GO.
HERE WE...
TAKE THE WHOLE
GODDAMN TRAY.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
[GROWLING]
WEIRD.
THIS IS SO WEIRD.
WHY WOULD MOM
BUY A BIRD?
I DON'T KNOW.
ITS NAME'S MARY LOUISE.
HOW LONG HAS SHE
BEEN RESTING?
FOUR DAYS.
THIS IS SO WEIRD.
MOM?
MA?
MOM?
MATTY?
MOM, IT'S FAMILY NIGHT.
WHAT TIME IS IT?
IT'S ALMOST 5:OO.
ARE YOU STILL TIRED?
YOU CAN SLEEP
IF YOU WANT TO.
LET'S DO THIS TOMORROW,
O.K., MATTY, HUH?
O.K.
I DON'T FEEL GOOD
RIGHT NOW.
O.K.
MATTY?
MATTY, DO YOU WANT ME
TO FIX YOU SOMETHING?
DID YOU EAT ANYTHING?
I'M ALL RIGHT.
LET ME FIX YOU--
I'LL FIX YOU
SOMETHING.
DO YOU WANT SOME MILK?
SURE.
NO MILK.
HOW ABOUT SOME JUICE?
FINE.
NO JUICE.
HOW ABOUT SOME WATER?
O.K.
DO YOU WAN ANYTHING ELSE?
NO. THIS IS GREAT.
THANKS.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU
WANT SOMETHING ELSE.
GOD IS GREAT,
GOD IS GOOD.
GOD, WE THANK YOU
FOR OUR FOOD. AMEN.
HEY, CHRIS.
UM, DID I BORROW
THIS ALBUM FROM YOU?
NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
IT'S NOT YOURS, HUH?
IT'S SO WEIRD.
CHRIS, IS EVERYTHING...
IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, IT'S FINE.
IS THERE SOMEWHERE
WE COULD TALK?
YEAH. YEAH.
LET'S, UH...
LET'S GO OUTSIDE.
ARE YOU AND MY MOM
STILL FRIENDS?
I THINK SO.
I MEAN, YOU DON' COME AROUND TOO MUCH ANYMORE.
YEAH, THAT'S TRUE,
BUT I LIKE
TO THINK WE'RE--
THAT I'M HER FRIEND.
YOU DEFINITELY CAN.
SHE'S A GOOD FRIEND
TO HAVE, TOO.
SHE'S LOYAL.
SHE'S GO A GREAT PERSONALITY.
EVERYBODY LIKES HER,
EVERYBODY THAT KNOWS HER.
SHE'S A TERRIFIC PERSON,
YOUR MOM.
SHE IS.
SHE REALLY IS.
SO WHY DON'T YOU
COME BY ANYMORE?
THERE MUST BE
SOME GOOD REASON.
WELL, IT'S KIND OF
HARD TO EXPLAIN, CHRIS.
LOOK, I KNOW I HAVEN' BEEN VERY NICE TO YOU
SOME OF THE TIME.
IT'S NOT THA I DON'T LIKE YOU.
IT'S JUST THAT SOMETIMES
IT TAKES ME LONGER
TO GET USED
TO NEW PEOPLE.
ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW ME,
I CAN BE REAL FRIENDLY.
THIS HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH YOU.
YOU WERE FINE.
I WASN'T FINE!
I KNOW THAT!
I APOLOGIZE.
GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE.
YOU AND I
CAN BE FRIENDS.
I'LL GO TO INTERESTING
MUSIC CONCERTS WITH YOU.
I'LL MOW YOUR LAWN
IF YOU EVER GROW ONE.
BECAUSE MY MOM REALLY
LIKED HAVING YOU AS A FRIEND.
SHE DOESN' KNOW ANYONE HERE.
SHE'S STARTING
TO GET SAD AGAIN.
WHEN SHE HAD
YOU AS A FRIEND,
SHE HAD SOMEONE
TO TALK TO.
I KNOW I WAS
A REAL PAIN IN THE ASS.
I PROMISE I WON'T BE.
YOU PROBABLY
DON'T BELIEVE ME.
GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE.
I CAN'T STAND TO SEE
MY MOM SO LONELY.
OHH!
THIS IS THE NIGH IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT
AND THEY CALL I BELLA NOTTE
LOOK AT THE SKIES
THEY HAVE STARS
IN THEIR EYES
ON THIS LOVELY
BELLA NOTTE
SIDE BY SIDE
WITH YOUR LOVED ONE

THE NIGHT WILL

WHEN THE ONE YOU LOVE

[SIGH]
WE'RE GOING TO NEED

WE ARE?
I'M FINE, REALLY.
TELL ME WHA YOU'D LIKE TO WEAR.
SETTLE DOWN, EVERYBODY.
SETTLE DOWN.
BEFORE WE BEGIN,
I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMEN TO MAKE.
YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHY
WINSTON WAS ABSENT TODAY.
WELL, HE'S NOT SICK
AFTER ALL.
WE WERE INFORMED THAT WINSTON
WAS ONE OF THE BIG WINNERS
IN THIS WEEK'S LOTTERY...
WOW!
COOL!
AND WILL BECOME ELIGIBLE
FOR THE BIG SPIN.
ISN'T THAT GREAT?
O.K., THAT'S ENOUGH.
LET'S SETTLE DOWN.
NOW, TAKE YOUR BOOKS OU SO WE CAN BEGIN THE LESSON
WE STARTED YESTERDAY.
MATTHEW, JUST A MINUTE.
MATTHEW!
EVERYONE, STAY SEATED.
WINSTON, MATT'S HERE.
THERE'S SOME
DELIS IN
THE DINING ROOM.
HELP YOURSELF.
DON'T BE SHY.
HI, MATT.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
TELL YOU WHAT?
THAT WE WON.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WE SPLIT EVERYTHING,
REMEMBER?
COME ON,
THAT IS NO WHAT YOU SAID.
YOU SAID
SPLIT THE TICKETS.
NO. THAT'S NOT TRUE.
O.K., ASK DALE IF YOU
DON'T BELIEVE ME.
SHE WAS THERE.
I GOT TO GO.
I WANT MY SHARE.
IT'S NOT YOUR SHARE.
I WANT MY SHARE.
I WANT MY SHARE.
IT'S NOT YOUR SHARE.
HI, MATT.
IS THERE
SOMETHING WRONG HERE?
THE TICKE WAS BOTH OF OURS.
WE SPLI THE TICKETS.
MATT GOT HALF,
AND I GOT HALF.
THE WINNER
WAS IN MY HALF.
ASK DALE.
YOU'RE SUCH A LIAR.
DALE, COULD YOU COME IN HERE
FOR A MINUTE, SWEETHEART?
MATT SAYS
THE WINNING TICKE WAS HIS ALSO.
IS THIS TRUE?
THEY WERE
SUPPOSED TO SPLI THE TICKETS,
AND THEN
WINSTON HAD
THE WINNER.
NO. THAT'S
NOT TRUE.
THIS IS FOR MY MOM.
SHE NEEDS IT.
MATT, TRY
AND BE FAIR HERE.
IF I DON'T GET THIS,
SHE MIGHT DIE.
SHE REALLY MIGHT.
DID YOU LOOK
AT YOUR TICKETS?
YOU MIGHT HAVE
A WINNER, TOO.
WE STOLE THINGS--
HEY, WINSTON! COME HERE,
YOU LITTLE MILLIONAIRE.
COME ON.
COME ON.
DON'T DO ANYTHING
FANCY FOR ME.
SORRY, MATT.
EVERYONE SAYS
THAT WINSTON
HAD THE WINNER.
DO YOU WAN TO STICK AROUND
FOR A WHILE,
HAVE A BITE
TO EAT,
OR DO YOU WAN TO HEAD ON HOME?
I WAS THINKING
ABOUT YOU
THE OTHER DAY.
I WAS THINKING,
WHAT IF SOMEDAY
I GOT MARRIED--
AND I DO WANT TO--
AND HAD THIS HUSBAND
THAT I REALLY LOVED,
AND HE DIED?
I'D BE SO SAD
THAT I'D BE...
I'D BE TIRED.
I SAW A PICTURE
OF HIM.
HE WAS
VERY HANDSOME.
CHRIS DOESN'T SAY
MUCH ABOUT HIM,
BUT HE DID TELL ME
ABOUT THIS TRIP
YOU ALL TOOK
TO YELLOWSTONE
AND HOW YOU HAD
A BROKEN TOE
BECAUSE MAT DROPPED A COOLER
ON YOUR FOOT,
AND JOHN CARRIED YOU
FOR 2 MILES.
YOU WERE VERY LUCKY
TO HAVE SOMEONE WHO
LOVED YOU SO MUCH.
NO ONE WOULD EVER
CARRY ME 2 MILES.
OH, I'M SURE THEY WOULD.
NO. I'M A SIZE 12
ALREADY.
I DON'T THINK SO.
WHERE ARE WE GOING,
JODY?
DO YOU KNOW?
FURTHER.
A LITTLE FURTHER.
OH, NO.
OH, NO, NO, NO.

BUT I STILL LIKE
THE IDEA, DON'T YOU?
MOM, DID MAT GET BACK YET?

I CALLED UP THERE.
HE LEFT TWO HOURS AGO.
HE STARTED OU RIDING OFF
DOWN THAT WAY.
DON'T PUT ME ON HOLD.

DID HE CALL?
I'M CALLING

MATTHEW MACAULEY.
HE'S 9 YEARS OLD.
HE'S GOT BROWN HAIR.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO.
I CALLED THE POLICE.
I CALLED THE HOSPITALS.
HE'S WEARING
A YELLOW SWEATSHIR AND BLUE JEANS.
LOOK, HE'S NO AT HIS FRIEND'S HOUSE.

OH, MATTY.
ARE YOU MAD AT ME?

MATT, LISTEN...
I WANT YOU
TO TALK TO ME.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
I CARE ABOUT YOU
MORE THAN ANYTHING
ELSE IN THE WORLD.
YOU MUST KNOW THAT,
AND YOU MUST KNOW
YOU CAN ALWAYS
TALK TO ME.
I CAN'T.
WHY?
I DON'T WAN TO SAY BAD THINGS.
YOU DON' ALWAYS HAVE TO BE
SUCH A GOOD BOY.
I DO.
WHY?
BECAUSE YOU LIKE ME
THAT WAY.
OH, MATTY,
I LOVE YOU ANY WAY.
I NEED YOU,
BUT SOMETIMES,
YOU KNOW,
YOU HAVE TO TELL ME
WHAT YOU NEED
AND WHAT YOU WANT.
I WANT...

HE DOES.
DOES HE KNOW
I DO BAD THINGS?
WHAT BAD THINGS?
STEALING.
WELL, HE KNOWS
WE'LL MAKE
THINGS RIGHT.
DO YOU THINK
HE STILL LOVES ME?
YES, MATT, YES.
WILL THE HURT STOP?
YOU KNOW WHA I READ ONCE?
THAT HEARTBREAK IS
LIFE EDUCATING US.
YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT THAT MEANS?
THAT WE'RE LEARNING
SOMETHING FROM THIS?
THAT'S RIGHT.
RASPBERRY GENOISE.
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
WHITE GERMAN
CHOCOLATE CAKE.
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
HAZELNUT PRALINE,
YOUR FAVORITE.
YOU'LL LOVE THEM.
LET ME IN.
COME ON.
YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY.
BEFORE, I USED
TO WATCH YOU WORK,
AND I'D THINK,
HERE YOU ARE,
TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF,
PROSPERING, EVEN.
BUT MOST OF ALL...
SURVIVING,
WHICH I CERTAINLY DO
RESPECT YOU FOR.
I REALLY DO.
AND I'VE SEEN HOW YOU
USE YOUR AGGRESSION
AND HOSTILITY
AND INCONSIDERATE
SELF-CENTEREDNESS
TO GREAT ADVANTAGE,
YOU KNOW?
I MEAN, I'VE LEARNED
SOMETHING FROM YOU, LISA.
I REALLY HAVE.
THAT YOU SHOULD
BE MORE HOSTILE,
SELF-CENTERED,
AND WHAT WAS
THE OTHER ONE?
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
NO. YOU SEE,
I DON'T HAVE TO BE.
YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE I GOT YOU.
I CAN STAY
THE WAY I AM.
IT'S A GREAT--
IT'S A GREA PARTNERSHIP, LISA.
IT REALLY IS.
YEAH, I'M VERY
EXCITED ABOUT IT.
IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY,
AND I--AHEM--
I'M DETERMINED
TO MAKE IT WORK.
I REALLY AM.
BETH.

A COUPLE OF OTHER--
BETH.
WHAT?
IT'S BEEN
ALMOST FOUR YEARS
SINCE MY MARRIAGE
FELL APART.
YOU KNOW
HOW HARD IT WAS
FOR YOU TO HAVE BEEN
LEFT WITH TWO BOYS?
IT WAS HARDER
TO HAVE BEEN
LEFT ALONE.
I'M GOING TO
CHARGE A FORTUNE
FOR THESE BABIES.
HI.
HI.

YES.
WE NEVER MET.
I'M BETH.

CHARLES, I DIDN' WANT TO INTERRUP ANYTHING, REALLY.
I JUST CAME BY
BECAUSE I WANTED
TO SAY THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I GO PRETTY CRAZY THERE,
I THINK MAYBE
I SCARED YOU
A LITTLE BIT.
DIDN'T I,
JUST A LITTLE BIT?
YEAH.
I KNOW,
AND I APOLOGIZE.
YOU KNOW,
YOU WERE--
YOU WERE REAL
GENEROUS TO ME.
I DON'T WHY YOU DID IT,
BUT YOU DID IT,
AND, UH...
AND I WAN TO THANK YOU FOR IT.
SO, THAT'S IT.

[MATT]
WHAT I REMEMBER MOS IS FAMILY NIGHT.
MOM GOT PRETTY STRIC ABOUT THIS IDEA,
SO WE HAD A LO OF FAMILY NIGHTS.
THERE IS NO WAY I'M
WEARING THIS THING.
UH-UH.
I REMEMBER CHRIS STOPPED

BUT THEN HE STARTED
CUTTING HIS OWN SHIRTS IN
HALF.
MATT WANTS

FAMILY NIGHT.
YOU KNOW THE DEAL.
O.K.
DO YOU WAN TO GO WITH US?
SOMETIMES FRIENDS WOULD
JOIN US FOR FAMILY NIGHT.
SOMETIMES WE'D JUST BE
BY OURSELVES.
ALL RIGHT, COOL.
LATER, CREATOR.
I REMEMBER
ONCE WE WENT ON SOME BOATS,
AND I GOT TO DRIVE ONE
BY MYSELF.
THAT WAS GOOD.
MOST OF ALL,
I JUST REMEMBER
BEING TOGETHER,
'CAUSE THEN...
I WAS SAVED.

BUT WE SHOULD WATCH THINGS
FOR A WHILE.
CHRIS,
IF YOU FEEL YOU NEED,
YOU KNOW,
MORE SPENDING MONEY,
YOU MIGHT CONSIDER
THE POSSIBILITY
OF GETTING A PART-TIME JOB.
I THINK THE PART-TIME JOB
IDEA IS A GOOD ONE...
GOOD.
BECAUSE I'M MOVING IN
WITH JODY.
THE HELL YOU ARE.
YOU KNOW, MOM,
REMEMBER
WE HAD THAT TALK,
AND YOU TOLD ME I WAS

YOU'RE ONLY 17.
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO

WHAT ABOUT SCHOOL?
I'M STILL GOING TO GO
TO SCHOOL AND EVERYTHING.
SHE GETS PAID
LOTS OF MONEY.
SHE MAKES
MORE THAN YOU.
[MATT]
HOW MUCH?
UH, COULD I
SAY SOMETHING?
IT WOULD MAKE THINGS
EASIER FOR YOU,
AT LEAST MONEY-WISE.
HOW MUCH
DOES SHE MAKE?
COULD I ADD SOMETHING?
MAYBE IT'S NO SUCH A BAD IDEA.
I'LL STILL BE
IN THE BUILDING.
I CAN HELP OU AND STUFF.
THIS IS NO A GOOD IDEA.
MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER WAY
TO LOOK AT IT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU'RE DEFENDING HIM.
I'M NOT DEFENDING HIM.
WELL,

YOU'RE
TAKING HIS SIDE.
WAIT. WAIT A SECOND.
WHO'S TALKING ABOU SIDES HERE?

LET'S, UH...
LET'S GO OUTSIDE.
ARE YOU AND MY MOM
STILL FRIENDS?
I THINK SO.
I MEAN, YOU DON' COME AROUND TOO MUCH ANYMORE.
YEAH, THAT'S TRUE,
BUT I LIKE
TO THINK WE'RE--
THAT I'M HER FRIEND.
YOU DEFINITELY CAN.
SHE'S A GOOD FRIEND
TO HAVE, TOO.
SHE'S LOYAL.
SHE'S GO A GREAT PERSONALITY.
EVERYBODY LIKES HER,
EVERYBODY THAT KNOWS HER.
SHE'S A TERRIFIC PERSON,
YOUR MOM.
SHE IS.
SHE REALLY IS.
SO WHY DON'T YOU
COME BY ANYMORE?
THERE MUST BE
SOME GOOD REASON.
WELL, IT'S KIND OF
HARD TO EXPLAIN, CHRIS.
LOOK, I KNOW I HAVEN' BEEN VERY NICE TO YOU
SOME OF THE TIME.
IT'S NOT THA I DON'T LIKE YOU.
IT'S JUST THAT SOMETIMES
IT TAKES ME LONGER
TO GET USED
TO NEW PEOPLE.
ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW ME,
I CAN BE REAL FRIENDLY.
THIS HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH YOU.
YOU WERE FINE.
I WASN'T FINE!
I KNOW THAT!
I APOLOGIZE.
GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE.
YOU AND I
CAN BE FRIENDS.
I'LL GO TO INTERESTING
MUSIC CONCERTS WITH YOU.
I'LL MOW YOUR LAWN
IF YOU EVER GROW ONE.
BECAUSE MY MOM REALLY
LIKED HAVING YOU AS A FRIEND.
SHE DOESN' KNOW ANYONE HERE.
SHE'S STARTING
TO GET SAD AGAIN.
WHEN SHE HAD
YOU AS A FRIEND,
SHE HAD SOMEONE
TO TALK TO.
I KNOW I WAS
A REAL PAIN IN THE ASS.
I PROMISE I WON'T BE.
YOU PROBABLY
DON'T BELIEVE ME.
GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE.
I CAN'T STAND TO SEE
MY MOM SO LONELY.
OHH!
THIS IS THE NIGH IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT
AND THEY CALL I BELLA NOTTE
LOOK AT THE SKIES
THEY HAVE STARS
IN THEIR EYES
ON THIS LOVELY
BELLA NOTTE
SIDE BY SIDE
WITH YOUR LOVED ONE
YOU'LL FIND
ENCHANTMENT HERE
THE NIGHT WILL
WEAVE ITS MAGIC SPELL
WHEN THE ONE YOU LOVE
IS NEAR
FOR THIS IS THE NIGH AND THE HEAVENS
ARE BRIGHT
ON THIS LOVELY
BELLA NOTTE
I GUESS
SHE'S NOT HOME.
WELL...
LET'S GO.

BEFORE WE BEGIN,
I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMEN TO MAKE.
YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHY
WINSTON WAS ABSENT TODAY.
WELL, HE'S NOT SICK
AFTER ALL.
WE WERE INFORMED THAT WINSTON
WAS ONE OF THE BIG WINNERS
IN THIS WEEK'S LOTTERY...
WOW!
COOL!
AND WILL BECOME ELIGIBLE
FOR THE BIG SPIN.
ISN'T THAT GREAT?
O.K., THAT'S ENOUGH.
LET'S SETTLE DOWN.
NOW, TAKE YOUR BOOKS OU SO WE CAN BEGIN THE LESSON
WE STARTED YESTERDAY.
MATTHEW, JUST A MINUTE.
MATTHEW!
EVERYONE, STAY SEATED.
WINSTON, MATT'S HERE.
THERE'S SOME
DELIS IN
THE DINING ROOM.
HELP YOURSELF.
DON'T BE SHY.
HI, MATT.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
TELL YOU WHAT?
THAT WE WON.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WE SPLIT EVERYTHING,
REMEMBER?
COME ON,
THAT IS NO WHAT YOU SAID.
YOU SAID
SPLIT THE TICKETS.
NO. THAT'S NOT TRUE.
O.K., ASK DALE IF YOU
DON'T BELIEVE ME.
SHE WAS THERE.
I GOT TO GO.
I WANT MY SHARE.
IT'S NOT YOUR SHARE.
I WANT MY SHARE.
I WANT MY SHARE.
IT'S NOT YOUR SHARE.
HI, MATT.
IS THERE
SOMETHING WRONG HERE?
THE TICKE WAS BOTH OF OURS.
WE SPLI THE TICKETS.
MATT GOT HALF,
AND I GOT HALF.
THE WINNER
WAS IN MY HALF.
ASK DALE.
YOU'RE SUCH A LIAR.
DALE, COULD YOU COME IN HERE
FOR A MINUTE, SWEETHEART?
MATT SAYS
THE WINNING TICKE WAS HIS ALSO.
IS THIS TRUE?
THEY WERE
SUPPOSED TO SPLI THE TICKETS,
AND THEN
WINSTON HAD
THE WINNER.
NO. THAT'S
NOT TRUE.
THIS IS FOR MY MOM.
SHE NEEDS IT.
MATT, TRY
AND BE FAIR HERE.
IF I DON'T GET THIS,
SHE MIGHT DIE.
SHE REALLY MIGHT.
DID YOU LOOK
AT YOUR TICKETS?
YOU MIGHT HAVE
A WINNER, TOO.
WE STOLE THINGS--
HEY, WINSTON! COME HERE,
YOU LITTLE MILLIONAIRE.
COME ON.
COME ON.
DON'T DO ANYTHING
FANCY FOR ME.
SORRY, MATT.
EVERYONE SAYS
THAT WINSTON
HAD THE WINNER.
DO YOU WAN TO STICK AROUND
FOR A WHILE,
HAVE A BITE
TO EAT,
OR DO YOU WAN TO HEAD ON HOME?
I WAS THINKING
ABOUT YOU
THE OTHER DAY.
I WAS THINKING,
WHAT IF SOMEDAY
I GOT MARRIED--
AND I DO WANT TO--
AND HAD THIS HUSBAND
THAT I REALLY LOVED,
AND HE DIED?
I'D BE SO SAD
THAT I'D BE...
I'D BE TIRED.
I SAW A PICTURE
OF HIM.
HE WAS
VERY HANDSOME.
CHRIS DOESN'T SAY
MUCH ABOUT HIM,
BUT HE DID TELL ME
ABOUT THIS TRIP
YOU ALL TOOK
TO YELLOWSTONE
AND HOW YOU HAD
A BROKEN TOE
BECAUSE MAT DROPPED A COOLER
ON YOUR FOOT,
AND JOHN CARRIED YOU
FOR 2 MILES.
YOU WERE VERY LUCKY
TO HAVE SOMEONE WHO
LOVED YOU SO MUCH.
NO ONE WOULD EVER
CARRY ME 2 MILES.
OH, I'M SURE THEY WOULD.
NO. I'M A SIZE 12
ALREADY.
I DON'T THINK SO.
WHERE ARE WE GOING,
JODY?
DO YOU KNOW?
FURTHER.
A LITTLE FURTHER.
OH, NO.
OH, NO, NO, NO.
I DID THIS WITH
ANOTHER FRIEND ONCE.
MY FRIEND
WAS VERY DEPRESSED,
SUICIDAL, EVEN,
AND I THOUGH OF THIS.
WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOUR FRIEND?
OH, SHE'S
INSTITUTIONALIZED NOW.
BUT I STILL LIKE
THE IDEA, DON'T YOU?
MOM, DID MAT GET BACK YET?
ISN'T HE WITH YOU?
HE WAS SUPPOSED
TO MEET ME AFTER
SCHOOL,
AND HE NEVER
SHOWED UP.
HE'S PROBABLY
AT THE BUCKLEY'S.
I CALLED UP THERE.
HE LEFT TWO HOURS AGO.
HE STARTED OU RIDING OFF
DOWN THAT WAY.
DON'T PUT ME ON HOLD.
IS THAT MATTY?
DID HE CALL?
I'M CALLING
ABOUT MY BROTHER
MATTHEW MACAULEY.
HE'S 9 YEARS OLD.
HE'S GOT BROWN HAIR.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO.
I CALLED THE POLICE.
I CALLED THE HOSPITALS.
HE'S WEARING
A YELLOW SWEATSHIR AND BLUE JEANS.
LOOK, HE'S NO AT HIS FRIEND'S HOUSE.
WE KNOW WHA HIS HABITS ARE,
AND WE'RE NOT GOING
TO WAIT 24 HOURS.
NOW, DAMN IT.
I'M A CITIZEN.
I'M A PROFESSIONAL
MUSICIAN,
AND I WAN SOME ACTION.
MRS. MACAULEY?
MRS. MACAULEY,
I'M OFFICER ROGERS.
THIS IS
OFFICER ROTIZ.
WE'RE CHECKING UP
ON MATTHEW.
HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING?
NO.
ANYTHING
FROM THE NEIGHBORS?
NOTHING.
[RING]
YES?
YES.
BLESS YOU.
THANK YOU.
HE'S IN BINGHAM.
HE WENT TO BINGHAM.
HE WENT HOME.
I'LL WAIT HERE.
HI, MATTY.
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
IT'S A GREA DOORBELL, MATT.
IT STILL WORKS.
OH, MATTY.
MATTY, DO YOU
MISS THIS PLACE?
NO.
I MISS YOU.
OH, MATTY.
ARE YOU MAD AT ME?
ARE YOU?
MATT, LISTEN...
I WANT YOU
TO TALK TO ME.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
I CARE ABOUT YOU
MORE THAN ANYTHING
ELSE IN THE WORLD.
YOU MUST KNOW THAT,
AND YOU MUST KNOW
YOU CAN ALWAYS
TALK TO ME.
I CAN'T.
WHY?
I DON'T WAN TO SAY BAD THINGS.
YOU DON' ALWAYS HAVE TO BE
SUCH A GOOD BOY.
I DO.
WHY?
BECAUSE YOU LIKE ME
THAT WAY.
OH, MATTY,
I LOVE YOU ANY WAY.
I NEED YOU,
BUT SOMETIMES,
YOU KNOW,
YOU HAVE TO TELL ME
WHAT YOU NEED
AND WHAT YOU WANT.
I WANT...
WHAT, HONEY?
I WAN TO SEE HIM AGAIN...
JUST ONE MORE TIME.
DOES HE KNOW ABOUT ME?
DOES HE KNOW
I'M IN THE FOURTH GRADE?
YES, I THINK
HE DOES.
DOES HE KNOW
I DO BAD THINGS?
WHAT BAD THINGS?
STEALING.
WELL, HE KNOWS
WE'LL MAKE
THINGS RIGHT.
DO YOU THINK
HE STILL LOVES ME?
YES, MATT, YES.
WILL THE HURT STOP?
YOU KNOW WHA I READ ONCE?
THAT HEARTBREAK IS
LIFE EDUCATING US.
YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT THAT MEANS?
THAT WE'RE LEARNING
SOMETHING FROM THIS?
THAT'S RIGHT.
RASPBERRY GENOISE.
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
WHITE GERMAN
CHOCOLATE CAKE.
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
HAZELNUT PRALINE,
YOUR FAVORITE.
YOU'LL LOVE THEM.
LET ME IN.
COME ON.
YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY.
BEFORE, I USED
TO WATCH YOU WORK,
AND I'D THINK,
HERE YOU ARE,
TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF,
PROSPERING, EVEN.
BUT MOST OF ALL...
SURVIVING,
WHICH I CERTAINLY DO
RESPECT YOU FOR.
I REALLY DO.
AND I'VE SEEN HOW YOU
USE YOUR AGGRESSION
AND HOSTILITY
AND INCONSIDERATE
SELF-CENTEREDNESS
TO GREAT ADVANTAGE,
YOU KNOW?
I MEAN, I'VE LEARNED
SOMETHING FROM YOU, LISA.
I REALLY HAVE.
THAT YOU SHOULD
BE MORE HOSTILE,
SELF-CENTERED,
AND WHAT WAS
THE OTHER ONE?
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
NO. YOU SEE,
I DON'T HAVE TO BE.
YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE I GOT YOU.
I CAN STAY
THE WAY I AM.
IT'S A GREAT--
IT'S A GREA PARTNERSHIP, LISA.
IT REALLY IS.
YEAH, I'M VERY
EXCITED ABOUT IT.
IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY,
AND I--AHEM--
I'M DETERMINED
TO MAKE IT WORK.
I REALLY AM.
BETH.
THERE ARE
A COUPLE OF OTHER--
BETH.
WHAT?
IT'S BEEN
ALMOST FOUR YEARS
SINCE MY MARRIAGE
FELL APART.
YOU KNOW
HOW HARD IT WAS
FOR YOU TO HAVE BEEN
LEFT WITH TWO BOYS?
IT WAS HARDER
TO HAVE BEEN
LEFT ALONE.
I'M GOING TO
CHARGE A FORTUNE
FOR THESE BABIES.
HI.
HI.
YOU'RE NINA?
YES.
WE NEVER MET.
I'M BETH.
YES. HELLO.
I BROUGHT THIS
BASKET OF FOOD.
COULD I JUST LEAVE I WITH YOU?
FOOD? I--
CHARLES!
CHARLES, I DIDN' WANT TO INTERRUP ANYTHING, REALLY.
I JUST CAME BY
BECAUSE I WANTED
TO SAY THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I GO PRETTY CRAZY THERE,
I THINK MAYBE
I SCARED YOU
A LITTLE BIT.
DIDN'T I,
JUST A LITTLE BIT?
YEAH.
I KNOW,
AND I APOLOGIZE.
YOU KNOW,
YOU WERE--
YOU WERE REAL
GENEROUS TO ME.
I DON'T WHY YOU DID IT,
BUT YOU DID IT,
AND, UH...
AND I WAN TO THANK YOU FOR IT.
SO, THAT'S IT.
THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW,
I WOULDN'T ASCRIBE
SUCH PURE MOTIVES TO ME.
NO?
I LIED ABOU THE BOWLING.
SO YOU GUYS ARE
BACK TOGETHER, HUH?
NO.
JOEY'S HERE.
SHE'S PICKING HIM UP.
HEY, MAN.
BYE.
BYE.
WELL, THEY SURE DO
LOVE THEIR DADDIES,
DON'T THEY?
[MATT]
WHAT I REMEMBER MOS IS FAMILY NIGHT.
MOM GOT PRETTY STRIC ABOUT THIS IDEA,
SO WE HAD A LO OF FAMILY NIGHTS.
THERE IS NO WAY I'M
WEARING THIS THING.
UH-UH.
I REMEMBER CHRIS STOPPED
WEARING JODY'S SHIRTS,
BUT THEN HE STARTED
CUTTING HIS OWN SHIRTS IN
HALF.
MATT WANTS
TO GO FOR A RIDE.
FAMILY NIGHT.
YOU KNOW THE DEAL.
O.K.
DO YOU WAN TO GO WITH US?
SOMETIMES FRIENDS WOULD
JOIN US FOR FAMILY NIGHT.
SOMETIMES WE'D JUST BE
BY OURSELVES.
ALL RIGHT, COOL.
LATER, CREATOR.
I REMEMBER
ONCE WE WENT ON SOME BOATS,
AND I GOT TO DRIVE ONE
BY MYSELF.
THAT WAS GOOD.
MOST OF ALL,
I JUST REMEMBER
BEING TOGETHER,
'CAUSE THEN...
I WAS SAVED.
