of the day, OK?

-OK.

-If you're upset about somebody

else playing it, then

I can just take it home

and put it right away.

OK?

Fine, then we'll just--

I'll bring it home.

LOGAN (OFFSCREEN): Mom.

-What are you doing?

-You told me to go.

I told you to let me go.

-Are you OK?

-No I'm not f***ing OK.

these days.

You miss everything.

I thought you had

said I should--

-What was she doing

in our house?

I worked so hard to buy us a

beautiful house, and you--

Did you want me to f*** her?

Just tell me honestly.

-No.

-Is that your ide--

Was that your idea?

LOGAN (OFFSCREEN): Dad!

-Then what?

Did you want to f*** her?

Are you a lesbian?

Just tell me honestly.

I won't be mad.

-I am a mother.

I am a wife.

I'm a--

LOGAN (OFFSCREEN):

Open the door!

-What, you were curious?

LOGAN (OFFSCREEN): Daddy!

-What, you--

You thought you would learn

something from a damaged

f***ing sex--

OK.

-Tell me what you learned.

Tell me what you learned!

-I was just trying

to help her.

She didn't know what

she was gonna do.

-You were trying to help her?

You're the one that needs help.

Not her.

-Well, so help me!

-That's not my job!

It's not my job to

f***ing help you.

-Take it easy.

Just take it easy.

-Listen, Rachel.

Logan, mommy and daddy

are having a talk.

Hold on.

LOGAN (OFFSCREEN): Mom!

-You need something.

You need to figure

out what it is.

You said you didn't

want another kid?

-I was so bored that I

thought I was dying.

-Not everyone gets

to be happy!

-Well, then quit!

I never told you to

sell Happy Farm.

I never told you to stay.

-I'm not gonna quit!

Because I am now in a situation

where people are

depending on me, and that

means something to me.
