Remember?

Yeah. Well, can you

tell these a**holes

to get away from me?

I'll drive her home.

It's not a big deal, okay?

Okay. All right?

You can't drive like this.

What do you care?

You're gonna get arrested.

Let me drive you.

Please?

Damn it.

I sold the truck

to pay for the lawyer.

I didn't ask for a lawyer.

Marianne,

I didn't ask for a lawyer.

You want your children to spend

another two years without you?

Is that what you want?

This is God's will.

So be it.

Two years ago,

you didn't believe in anything.

Now everything

has to do with God.

I think I preferred you

the way you were before.

I was a f***ing pig before.

Is that what you prefer?

At least it was you.

Now I don't have the slightest

f***ing idea who you are.

[ Zips Jacket ]

Life has to go on,Jack,

with or without God.

Hey, how you doin'?

How are you?

Fine.

Were you able

to find anything out?

JackJordan's living in

a cheap motel lost out

in the middle of nowhere.

Phone records.

One of his prison fishy pals

is from there.

- That was quick.

-Just a matter of checking the calls.

Phone number and address

for the motel he's living in.

[ Coughs, Sniffles ]

Here's a pretty recent photo

ofJordan.

It was taken the last time

he was in jail.

Were you able to get that

other thing that I asked about?

Mm-hmm.

This is a clean gun, no record.

They call this an "orphan."

It is loaded.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Careful there, Hoss.

You don't have to cock it.

Just pull the trigger to shoot it.

This releases the cylinder.

I think we're set to go.

That's all I want to know.

Thank you.

Good luck to you.

Ma'am, it's been an hour

since I called.

Forty-six St. Vincent Street.

Thank you.

Hello.

Hello.

Some rain.

Do you not have your car?

No, but my taxi

will be here in a minute.

I'm right over here.

I'll give you a lift if you like.

No. Thanks.

I'm the guy who drove

your car home last week.

I'm sorry.

I don't remember.

I left my jacket with you.

I'm sorry.

I'll bring it by tomorrow.

Sure I can't give you a ride?

I'm right here.

Or do you want to swim?

[ Chuckles ]

Okay.

Hello.

Thanks.

You're very welcome.

Let me just give you

my cell phone number

so you can have it.

Would you have

lunch with me tomorrow?

What for?

Uh, you're gonna have to eat

at some point, and I'm very worried

about those kidneys.

Come on. Lawrence's, 2:00.

It's very nearby.

Please.

Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Great.

[ Woman On Radio ]

...report we have construction on the ramp

coming from southbound 240 at Summer.

That ramp is closed until 6:00 p.m.

Use Arlington Pike as an alternate.

Also--

Forty at the new bridge,

they have the center lane closed.

Use southbound l-20 as an alternate.

Safe Driving believes so strongly

in minimum coverage.

They're easy, fast, affordable and reliable.

They're serious about minimum coverage.

Minimum coverage is the best option--

[ Both ]

Look, Daddy, a pigeon!

Daddy, look!

Girls, no, don't.

Don't touch it. Laura, stop it.

[ Machine Whirring ]

Gimme a call on my cell.

I'll see you in a bit. Bye.

[ Machine Stops Whirring ]

Good night, Mr. Peck.

Hey, Lucio, don't forget

to do my garden on Saturday.

No, sir, I won't forget.

[ Machine Revs, Whirring ]

[ Screeching Tires, Thud ]

[ Vehicle Speeding Away ]

Son of a b*tch.

Leave it to me, Marianne.

Sometimes it happens,

sometimes it doesn't.

Everybody reacts differently.

That's why you've been

vomiting so much.

So, what are you saying,

I've got to change medication?

Okay, I'm gonna be

frank with you, Paul.

The heart that you're carrying

is gonna give out soon.

I need you to stay in the hospital

until I can find you another heart.

You want me to wait

for a new heart.

We don't have another choice.

I can't do that.

I can't wait for someone else to die,

locked up in a f***ing room.

I can't-- I can't do it.

Y-You're dangerously close

to heart failure, Paul.

You might die a lot sooner

than you think.

Let me ask you something,

and I want you to be really honest

with me, okay?

[ Sighs ]

If I stay...

will I be saved?

I can't guarantee it.

But if you don't

come back to the hospital,

you're condemning yourself

to a terrible death.

Your heart won't work anymore.

You'll die, asphyxiated.

It's an awful death, Paul.

You can't imagine it.

At least here

we could help you to--

You can help me die better.

That's what you're saying.

You can help me die better.

Well, I'm not gonna do that, okay?

I'd rather die outside.

I'm not gonna do it again.

How much did the lawyer charge?

Marianne, how much did

the f***ing lawyer charge?

[John ] Enough.

How much is enough,

Marianne?

Enough so your children can

remember your f***ing face.

You keep asking stupid questions,

I'm getting out at the next corner.

[ TVPlaying ]

[ Growls Softly ]

[ Marianne ]

Hi, guys. We're home.

Daddy! Daddy!

What'd you bring us?

I brought you a kiss.

You didn't bring me

a present, huh?

No,just a kiss.

We made you a cake.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Freddy put the icing on it.

Freddy, are you gonna

say hello to your father?

[ Marianne ]

Freddy drew those for you.

I drew those ones.

Mommy made the cake.

Come here.

[ Girl ]

Come look at the cake, Daddy.

[Jack ] She did?

[ Girl ]

Come on, Daddy.

There is a number

hidden in every act of life,

in every aspect of the universe.

Fractals, matter--

that there's a number

screaming to tell us something.

Am I boring you?

No. No. l--

I'm sorry.

I guess I try to tell them

that numbers are a door...

to understanding a mystery

that's bigger than us.

How two people, strangers,

come to meet.

There's a poem by

a Venezuelan writer that begins--

"The earth turned

to bring us closer.

"It turned on itself and in us...

until it finally brought us

together in this dream."

That's beautiful.

There's so many things

that have to happen for

two people to meet and--

Anyway, that's--

that's what mathematics are.

[ Paul ]

How long have you been swimming?

[ Cristina ]

Oh, for years.

It doesn't bore you?

No. It's what makes me

feel normal.

If I didn't swim or walk

or do something,

I think I'd go crazy.

Thanks for lunch.

Yeah. Bye.

Do you want to come in?

No.

Thanks--

Yes, I do want to come in.

Hey, can I ask you--

- Huh?

- Okay, I have a gun. Okay?

Don't look at me.

Don't look at me.

Don't look at me. I'll shoot--

- I don't have any money.

- Turn around. Turn around.

I'll shoot you.Just turn around. Go.

- I don't have any--

- Walk. Walk. Walk!

P-Put 'em up!

P-Put your hands up!

Why?

- Wait.

-Just walk. Go!

We're gonna go down that

path right there. Do what I say

and then you won't get hurt.
