No. You know, I don't drink.

I don't steal.

I'm clean.

Tell me, why me?

Look, I know you're clean.

That's why I hired you.

But this decision

comes from the administration.

If I don't follow through,

they're gonna f*** me too.

[ Sighs ]

Look, I cut you

a hefty severance check,

and you can pick it up

on the way to the cashier's.

Try to understand.

[ Ice Cubes Rattling ]

Okay. Good.

So, is there any pain?

My head hurts a little bit.

That's normal.

That's because of

the blood pressure medicine.

We'll get you something else

to make you feel better.

Thank you.

I brought...

- what you asked for.

- Oh, my God.

Oh. Is that my heart?

The culprit.

Which one is he?

That's him

with the brown vest.

He's putting the bag

up on top right now.

You okay?

[ Breathing Heavily ]

Come here.

I wanna kill him.

We have to kill him.

Thank you, Lord,

for keeping us together,

for filling us with love

and for giving us this meal.

Amen.

[ All ]

Amen.

I got fired

from the club today.

'Cause of your

good pal Brown, right?

He had nothing

to do with it.

It's mine!

- Believe that,Jack?

- Yes, I do.

- [ Children Arguing ]

- Ow!

- Freddy, stop it.

Mommy, Freddy

hit me in the arm.

Which arm, baby?

This one.

Jack, don't start.

Hold out your other arm

and let your brother hit you.

- Give me it!

-Jack, no!

Hold it out.

Whoever slaps you

on the right cheek,

turn the other to him also.

Hit her.

Don't be afraid.

- Jack, no!

- [ Pounds Table ]

- Hit her!

Isn't that great. Wonderful.

Great parenting,Jack.

Good job.

It's okay. Shh.

He didn't hurt her.

[ Sighs ]

There's no hitting

in this house.

Understand?

Get in the corner!

Do I put the chocolate chips

in now, Mommy?

That's right, honey,

and then stir.

[ Radio, Indistinct ]

Stir really quick.

Laura, put that back.

Come on.

When is Daddy coming?

Soon. Now let's

get this finished, honey.

- Mmm!

- None for you.

Mmm!

[ Chuckles ]

- No, Laura, stop it now.

- [ All Laughing ]

Next Friday, ask Lupe

to stay the night.

I can't stay, 'cause I invited

the company managers

over for dinner.

I fired her.

What, you fired her?

Why?

She made me feel

like a cripple.

Oh, goddamn it, Paul.

So, now who's going

to cook for you?

Who's going to clean up after you?

Who's going to take care of you?

Who?

I can do it for myself.

Oh,you can do it

by yourself.

I can't do it anymore, Paul.

Really, I can't.

[ Kissing ]

What are you doing?

I'm just-- What?

What does it feel like

I'm doing?

Don't. Don't.

You might hurt yourself.

I'm not gonna

hurt myself.

Besides, I need you to--

Huh?

I went to

a fertility clinic.

Oh good, more doctors.

Mary, I can't have

this discussion again.

No, this is a--

this is a specialist.

He said that with surgery,

I might get pregnant.

You need to donate

sperm and then--

Mary, no.

I could take care ofhim.

But I can't.

So what's the point?

This is what I most want

in the world.

Do it for me, please.

[ Machinery Whirring ]

This'll be $58.95.

[ Cash Register Beeping, Dings ]

[ Cashier ]

Thank you.

[ Bottles Clang Together ]

Find everything you need, sir?

I'll have, uh--

Oh, you know what?

I left my wallet.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Chattering, Laughter ]

[ Stereo ]

Gonna be hot.

Great.

When does my brother

plan to show up?

He said he'll be back

by 6:
00.

One hundred percent

pure golden lager.

You outta your mind?

[ Chuckles ]

Pretty much.

Oh, it's warm.

Okay, well, hey, if you wanna

drink lemonade all night--

No, no, no, no.

Just give it here.

Give me--

Katie? Laura?

Where are you guys?

[ Keys Clatter]

[ Cell Phone Beeps ]

[ Answering Machine On Phone,

Indistinct ]

Hi, sweetheart, it's Dad.

I was hoping we could have lunch

one day next week.

Give me a call.

[ Phone Beeps ]

Hi, honey.

I'm on my way home.

If you need me to pick up

anything along the way--

[ Girl ] Look, Daddy, a pigeon!

Girls, no, don't touch.

Laura, stop it.

[ Cristina Chuckles ]

Gimme a call on my cell.

I'll see you in a bit. Bye.

[ Woman's Voice ]

To send a message, press--

[ Chuckles ]

[ Clattering ]

[ Phone Ringing ]

[ Ringing ]

Hello.

[ Caller Inaudible ]

Speaking.

What?

Where?

[ Siren Chirps ]

[ Police Radio Chatter ]

[ Siren Chirps ]

Stay here.

I'll be right back.

[ Siren Wailing ]

[ Door Slams Shut ]

Now, Mary,you understand

that even if the operation

is successful,

artificial insemination

doesn't always work.

It doesn't matter.

We want to try.

Paul?

Yeah.

Now, Paul, um,

this is about

having a child.

And with your condition,

you know you probably

won't ever meet him.

Mm-hmm.

Well, life goes on, right?

Yeah, right.

I'd like you to put on

one of these gloves to avoid

contaminating the sample.

And, uh, try to make it

all land in the receptacle.

When you're done,

just leave it in here.

In case you need

a little inspiration.

[ Woman On Video ]

Hey, big boy, what are you doing?

Oh,yeah,you ready to party?

[ Man On Video ]

Yeah, well, I'm here now.

[ Video Continues, Indistinct ]

[ Woman ]

Yeah! Yeah!

Oh, there you go!

[ Moaning ]

Good, come on. Come on!

[ Woman On P.A.]

Dr. Swann, call the operator.

Excuse me.

My husband and daughters

were in an accident,

and I was told

to come here.

What were their names?

Michael, Catherine

and Laura Peck.

Okay.

[ Keyboard Clacking ]

Excuse me for a minute.

Cris.

What happened, sweetheart?

I don't know.

They haven't told me

anything yet.

It's gonna be all right.

Yeah, everything

will be okay. Don't worry.

[ Rock ]

Okay, what is

the most important question

for safe sex?

What time does

your husband get home?

[ Man ]

That's good, huh? Yeah.

His Highness has arrived.

Let's see

what he comes up with.

Serve up that chili.

Uh-uh-uh-uh.

[ Squirts ]

[ Chuckles ]

It's 7:
00.

What are you gonna make up

this time-- traffic?

You preaching the word?

The entire congregation

has been waiting for you.

It's your party, remember?

What's wrong?

Have you been drinking?

No.

You didn't drink again,

did you?

I just ran over

a man and two girls.

You're lying, right?

I was driving home.

Took a turn...

a little too quickly.

I didn't see them crossing.

[ Rock Continues ]

- [ Horn Honking ]

- Can't you go any faster?

[ Honking Horn ]

Baby, hold on.

[ Revs Engine, Honking Horn ]

I love you.

[ Inhales ]

[ Exhales ]

Deep breath.

[ Inhales ]

[ Exhales ]

Good.

- Your lungs are clear.

- I got a question for you.

Yeah.

Whose heart do I have?

Uh, I can't tell you.

It's hospital regulations.

Just like the donor's family

doesn't know your name either.

- But you know.

- [ Chuckles ]

Yes.

This is your heart now.

That's all that should

matter to you.

- I wanna know who saved my life.

- If you want,you can write...

an anonymous letter to the family

through the donor's association.

Personally, I think it's better

that you don't know.

Mrs. Peck?

I'm Dr.Jones.
