Answers to Nothing Page #2

in your truck before?

Uh, no.

No, that was the first

and, uh, the only time.

Oh. Ls there a...

Are you currently in a relationship or...

No, I'm not.

Uh, you know, my wife and I,

you know, we got divorced,

like, 15 years ago,

and, uh, you know, I've had a couple

of relationships on and off since then,

but nothing too serious

the last year or so, so...

How about you?

A-Are you seeing anybody, Frankie?

No, I'm currently not in a relationship.

Well, uh...

This is probably really inappropriate,

but,

you know, after all this,

you know, blows over,

I mean, when you guys find Christie,

maybe you and I, we could...

we could have dinner or,

you know, we could...

Wow, that was inappropriate.

Yes, it was very inappropriate.

I'm sorry. It's... I'm sorry.

It's you're very attractive.

That was dumb. It was dumb.

- Look, it's...

- No, it was dumb.

- Sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

- It's okay.

Okay...

It's all right.

Oh, God.

You know, actually I-I'm very flattered,

- but let's just leave it alone.

- Okay.

All right. Uh, I think

we're done here for today.

Uh, can I... Am I done?

Yes. I will send somebody in

with your release papers.

- Sorry.

- It's all right.

Oh, God.

Ah, f***.

You know how fast you were going?

No. I'm sorry, officer.

I thought I was going

the speed limit.

No. You were going 39

in a 25-mile-per-hour zone.

License and registration, please?

Right.

Okay...

You startled me.

That was so quick.

Well, I... I didn't

mean to scare you.

Look, this is...

this is the end

of a school zone here,

you know, which means

that there are a lot of kids around,

playing, you know.

Sometimes they don't pay

much attention to traffic.

You know, they might just jump

right out from behind a parked car

to chase down an overthrown football

or something,

and, the speed you're going,

you're not...

you're not gonna have

time to... to brake.

You know, so...

So just, you know, for everyone's sake,

slow down next time, okay?

You're not gonna give me a ticket?

Thank you.

Thank you so much, officer.

I will totally be more careful

from now on.

Okay...

You have a good day.

Thank you. You, too.

Hey, Mrs. Harrison.

Oh, Jerry, honey,

I got something for you.

Um, how've you been?

Oh, I'm good. I'm good.

Here.

That's homemade brisket

with mashed potatoes and green beans.

You look like you don't eat,

so I made you a plate.

Oh, you didn't have to. It's...

Of course I did.

It's not every day you graduate

from the police academy.

Oh, I'd have brought it

a couple of weeks ago,

but I haven't been feeling well,

and I didn't want to take...

No, no, don't worry about that.

It's... It's very, very sweet of you.

Thank you very much.

- Hi, Mrs. Harrison.

- Oh. Carter.

Hey.

You know, you may want

to add a little salt to that,

because I use lemon juice

instead of salt.

Police are still refusing to refer

to Mr. Beckworth as a suspect,

but public pressure may

force them to do that soon.

In Hawthorne today,

an elderly man...

Dude, where you been?

Raid starts in three minutes.

Sorry. Parent-teacher meeting.

God, and...

he ate the whole thing.

- After he said it was-

- Yes.

Oh, no.

Oh, my God, thank you.

Thank you.

I have not laughed like that in months.

Oh, how's Ryan?

Great.

And everything else?

Well, we're gonna do

in vitro this week.

- That's great.

- Yep.

And, uh, Ryan's been very supportive,

uh, but it's a...

it's a process.

Um, it's just we're both

very committed to it,

which makes it easier...

normal.

Hey, look who's on TV.

You think he's guilty?

I know he is.

I mean, she's like Tina's age.

I mean, this f***ing job,

it's like a looking glass

into the soul of this world.

I mean, it's scary raising kids here.

We have to lie to them

about everything.

There's so many

bad things, bad people,

and sometimes I wonder

why we try so hard

when we're so clearly outnumbered.

Oh, you know, I'm... I'm sorry.

I don't mean to...

- No.

- It's...

No, it's fine.

Drink.

- Yes.

- Cheers.

Here's to pain.

Hey.

Hey. Still outwith Frankie?

Yeah. I'm just about

finished, though.

- Great. Tell her hello for me.

- Okay.

See you at home in an hour?

Hello? Ryan, are you there?

Yeah. Yeah, uh...

I lost you for a second.

What'd you say?

I said I will meet you at home

in an hour. Okay?

Might be a little bit later.

I got to swing by Mom's.

Oh, um, okay.

Um, I'll see you after.

I'll see you in a bit.

I love you.

Me, too.

Okay, 10 miles.

How do you feel?

I feel...

I feel pretty good, actually

Ah, Christ,

I'm sweating like a rapist.

And you, you haven't

even broken a sweat yet.

Here we go. There.

Now at least you look like

you've been running.

A-Are you Drew Callahan?

Taylor Reese.

I was friends with Erik.

We played football

together in high school.

I was the one that threw him

all those touchdowns.

Remember that?

I think I met you, um,

our senior year after that game

against Drake.

You have to remember that one.

It was a real barnburner.

- Right, yeah.

- State championship.

Taylor, right.

Sorry, uh, kind of pathetic,

a 35-year-old guy reliving

his high school glory.

No, it's, uh...

Well, listen, it was

really good seeing you.

Uh, if you see your brother Erik,

let him...

Here. Give me...

Uh, hope everything's

going good for you.

Say hi to Erik for me.

So have you heard

from your dad lately?

Yeah, I talked to him

about a week ago.

Oh, you should talk

to him more often.

I spoke to him yesterday.

I think he might be coming home

for Christmas this year.

Has he said anything

to you about that?

Uh, no, he didn't...

he didn't say anything.

Hmm. Well, it really

will be a merry Christmas

if he can just get all that stuff

from that estate finalized

and get home.

Maybe by then, you and Kate'll

have a special gift on the way,

and then, you know,

it'll be a perfect Christmas.

Why are you listening

to Christmas music?

Oh, because it's beautiful...

happy, makes me happy.

It's June.

$0?

Christmas is six months away, Mom.

Well, why should I wait

six months to be happy?

You are relentless in the way

That you ask me

So many questions

of my days

In the calm city

of my days

In the city

You are relentless in the way

That you ask...

Ask me

So many questions

of my days

How's your mom?

Other than the fact

my dad told her

he might be coming home

for Christmas, terrific.

Your dad's coming home

for Christmas?

Of course not, Kate.

It's been nine years.

He's never coming back.

I don't know why my mother

can't get that through her skull!

I win. I win

I've got the most f***ed-up

parents on the planet.

My mother's an idiot.

He lies to her, Ryan.

He's the one you

should be angry with.

He tells her that he's dealing

with his parents' estate.

He tells her that the French government

is screwing everything up.

He tells her that his...

his heart problem

prohibits him from flying.

For nine years!
