If Feratti goes ahead with this, if he puts that picture in the paper, there is no deal.

I guess we got nothin' to talk about.

Of course you can't.

To process them with me.
To feel some sadness.
I don't know what the fuck you're talkin' about.
I think you do.
Maybe this shit works for some people, but not me you know? Maybe some people just are who they fuckin' are, you know? They don't change.
Are you talking about your father or you? I gotta go.
The hour's not over.
Yeah, it is.
Hey, Stu.
He's not exactly taking to the talking cure, Ray.

It's gonna be about breaking ground on the new children's hospital, right? Yeah.
Listen, man, I don't want any - Where is she? - What the fuck? Stop it, stop it! What the fuck are you doing? What did Stu tell you? He's not the problem.

What are you doin'? We're telling stories about Grandpa.
Yeah? I got one of those.
Hey, Terry, you remember that time Mom pissed the bed when I was sleepin' with her? Dad.
No, it's a good one, sweetheart.
Don't think I ever told you this before.
I was about ten years old.
Your grandma was in so much fuckin' pain that she pissed the bed while I was in it.
Ray, come on.
So I go down to the kitchen, you know, to get a towel.
Guess who I see with his hand in Mom's fuckin' cookie jar? Tricky Mickey.
Mom's upstairs dyin' of cancer, Mick comes over and steals her life savings.
We're trying to tell her happy stories, Ray.
Yeah? How's that goin' for ya? There was that time he got outta Walpole and shot that fuckin' priest.
- Wrong priest.
- Least he got one.
I thought Ray shot the priest.
Uh, different priest.
I'm the only one who didn't shoot a priest.
You better get yourself a fuckin' priest, Ter.
Oh, my God.
Ah how 'bout how 'bout the time Mick and Einstein over here go out in that boat trying to trying to dump those body parts, but don't even bother to check the fuckin' tides? Ohh Fuckin' fluke, fisherman starts hooking heads, and, uh and the cops are asking questions, so That's the problem with stories with Mick, there's not a lotta happy endings.
Unless, of course, he's gettin' one.
To our father Michael Donovan.
May he rest in fuckin' peace.
