You're here kind of early.

Hi.

Uh, you're here early.

I know. I was, um, just trying

something out.

I was looking for something

part-time. Um...

We missed you yesterday. You're staying home

from work, but you're coming in for this?

I know. I meant to call.

It was my kid...

You should get home.

I know. I'm... I'm

about to go home soon.

- See you soon.

- Yeah.

Hey, Sun.

Where did you go?

I was just trying

something out.

It was really bright

in there.

Well, we're both

gonna sleep soon.

I know your father's

not around, and...

I know you'll never

get that back.

But I'm just me, and, uh...

Good morning.

How's the new

program coming?

It's really a lot easier for me

to just use the big book.

Yeah.

Well, we all gotta be on board

on this one, okay? Right?

Yeah.

Did you, uh... Did you manage

to get enough sleep?

Yeah. Yeah, thanks.

Um, listen.

You know, today's the day

that... uh...

Right.

Listen. I, um...

I had it wired to me,

so I could get you cash.

It doesn't have to

be cash, Angela. No.

Well, my kid had a party,

and there were a lot of new people

at the house, and, uh...

I... Somebody...

I don't know.

We can't find it.

- And, uh, somebody must've stole it.

- You don't have it?

Well, I'm still trying

somethin' else.

Why didn't you

tell me this sooner?

I had it.

You know, let's meet

in my office in an hour.

Don't... Don't you have

other people?

Come to my office

in an hour.

- Everything all right? - Did you see my

white bag at Sunny's birthday party?

- No. - It had all my back

child support in it.

- It's gone.

- You should call the police.

I called the f***in' police.

They can't do anything.

- What about that kid upstairs?

- What about him?

I'm sorry, Angela.

God.

Listen, um, Louise really

enjoyed meeting you.

Uh... Thanks for letting her teach

some today. She misses it.

She fell

for your little girl.

Maybe they could, uh...

Maybe Sunny could

visit 'em sometime.

Looks like Ted

wants to see you.

Fine.

Thanks.

I thought you said an hour.

You know what? In the end,

it is just completely inappropriate...

that you're cleaning up this place while

you are an employee of the company.

I was just trying somethin' out.

I don't...

I probably...

I don't have to do that.

It's like

a couple nights a week.

Don't you think you should get

something that pays better?

A little more steady, so you're not

spread so thin? Especially with your kid.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

I mean, we all have to be

with this program right now.

This is a custom database, and it just isn't

gonna work if we're not all doing our part.

Yeah.

So, with you cleaning up while

you're working, it's just all too...

You know.

Yeah.

So look, just, you know,

finish up your calls today.

You can leave early

if you want to.

And, um, take this.

Like a severance.

Hello?

Max?

I gave you this number?

No. No, I'm not coming in.

That's it.

It's 'cause that's the end

of my time there.

Uh, 'cause, uh...

Yeah, I don't know why.

Yeah?

Like what?

No. No, I don't wanna meet

Louise for dinner, no.

They... They have a good time?

Did... Did Louise have a nice time

today with Sunny?

'Cause I haven't

been home yet.

- You can drive, right?

- Mmm.

You didn't see my white bag

at Sunny's party, did you?

No.

All right, listen. Wanna

make a hundred bucks?

All I want you to do

is take my car out of town.

- Just stick it someplace.

- Where?

Lake Mead, maybe.

Just hide it.

Do you wanna

do it or not?

- Your car that tan LeSabre?

- Yeah.

You gotta pay me now

though.

All right.

Here.

You can't tell anybody about this,

and you gotta keep it clean...

because I'm gonna report it and I'm

gonna get some insurance out of this.

Whoa, whoa. I'm not gonna steal

your car, Angela.

I don't want you to steal it. I want you

to take it and stick it somewhere.

What if you report it

and I'm still driving it?

Well, I don't know, you know? I'll wait

for you, you know? You could call me.

Nah, nah.

F*** it.

It's too late now anyway.

What the f***

is this now?

- We didn't feed Casey.

- You didn't feed him, you mean.

You didn't feed Casey!

So what'd you guys do?

Couldn't clean all this up?

It just happened.

We can't keep this dog

like this.

Are you gonna help out

or what?

Oh, God.

What happened?

Uh... Shut it, Case.

Jesus.

The dog just got

to the couch.

Oh, I'm sorry.

That's terrible.

- Hello again, Sunny.

- Hi, Louise.

- Can I... What?

- Hi.

Um... Oh, um, Sunny and I

had a wonderful afternoon.

And I just wanted

to make sure that...

Um...

C- Can we talk outside?

I... I would love to

see you two again,

and I... I wanted

to make sure...

that you were

planning to visit.

I mean, I'm inviting you

to visit.

It-It would be like

a long vacation.

Um, I have an extra room,

and I know a wonderful

children's therapist.

I, myself,

was a schoolteacher,

and...

Sunny needs something more

than she's getting.

Uh, okay. I mean, Max knows

where you guys are,

so, uh, I'll talk to him

about it later.

Well, if you tell me when,

I could send tickets.

Okay.

I'll talk to Max.

And I gotta see what kind

of vacation time I got.

It's hard for me

to get away from work.

Well, maybe just Sunny then.

And you could come visit later.

I could enroll her in this great intensive

children's program for reading.

She's getting better.

And it's really far

for her, you know?

- Yeah, but...

- Okay. I can't talk right now.

There's been a robbery

or somethin' here.

And I mean...

Thank you for watching

her today. Thank you.

I appreciate it. I really enjoyed

meeting you and your husband.

You seem like nice people.

All right?

Thank you.

Sunny.

Turn that off.

Honey?

Go get Casey's leash

and get your shoes on.

Yo!

Go put Casey

in the car.

- I still need the car.

- When you get back.

Look, the best thing you can do

is just forget I ever asked.

You're a good kid.

Where are we going?

Just give me a minute, okay?

Come on.

Go take him out, sweetie.

Go ahead. Just go and take

him out and tell him to sit,

and then come back inside.

Honey, look. We're gonna let

Casey go to a new home.

Where?

I don't know where,

but somebody will take him.

Okay?

We can't.

I know you don't understand right now,

but you will.

All right, listen.

I know it's hard

right now.

But...

It's just hard

right now.

That's all.

So are you gonna

help me or what?

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come here.

Listen, Casey, sit.

Come on. Come here.

Come here, buddy.

Come here. Sit. Sit.

Sit, buddy. Come on.

You're a good dog.

- Sunny?

- Casey!

- Sunny, shut the door!

- Casey, come here!

- Sunny! Close the door.

- Casey!

- Sunny, shut the goddamn

door! - Casey!

He's gonna be okay.

I need some help too!

We're gonna meet Max for some Chinese

food. Won't that be good? Huh?

He's gonna treat us, so you can get

whatever you want.

Do you wanna go eat?

Come on.

Hmm?

All right. You can stay in the car
