Synopsis: Dean Pereira and Cindy Heller Pereira are a young, working class married couple - Dean currently working as a painter, and Cindy working as a nurse in a medical clinic - with a young daughter named Frankie.

Dean, a high school drop out, comes from a broken home, where he never really had a mother figure. He never saw himself getting married or having a family despite falling in love at first sight with Cindy. He doesn't have any professional ambition beyond his current work - which he enjoys since he feels he can knock off a beer at 8 o'clock in the morning without it affecting his work - although Cindy believes he has so much more potential in life.

F*** you! B*tch!

- Such a little b*tch. P*ssy.

- Piece of sh*t!

- F*** him up.

- B*tch!

You f***in' piece of sh*t!

F***ing p*ssy!

Dr. Feinberg's Office. Mm-hmm.

OK, when were you looking to come in?

Oh! Busy! Haven't sat down yet.

What do you have?

Can you walk with me?

I've got a woman in five, Hispanic...

Excuse me.

Doesn't speak much English, and she's

complaining of pain in her left breast.

All right, I'll be in in a minute.

Oh, hey, you know what I was thinking?

I realize it might be hard for you to

move the whole family up to Riverdale,

'cause your daughter's

still in school and everything,

and I thought maybe

you get an apartment.

You know, work during the week,

drive home on the weekends.

Wouldn't have to worry about being

lonely. We could hang out together.

You know, get dinner sometimes.

Anyway, that was not a proposition.

- It was just...

- I'm married.

Just trying to... Just trying to help.

I thought you wanted me there

because I'm good at my job.

Yeah, I thought...

Anyway... I'll see you in a minute.

I can't do that over the phone.

I can't do it over the phone.

Hold on, please.

Sir, could you just fill that out and

when you're done bring it back up to me?

I don't need this.

Could you hold on just

one second, please?

- OK, thank you.

- I was looking for my wife.

- I don't need that.

- OK, and who is your wife?

- Cynthia.

- Oh, you must be Dean.

OK, yeah, let me get her,

she'll be right with you.

Cindy, sweetie,

you have a visitor.

- Who?

- it's your husband.

I think he's been drinking.

- Hi.

- Oh, there you are.

What are you doing here?

Oh, well, you're awful friendly

right now, aren't ya?

- No, I'm just surprised to see you.

- Oh, this is where the smiles happen.

This the smile room? Huh?

You take off, you leave me,

you don't tell me what's going on?

I was so goddamn worried, I thought

something might of happened to Frankie!

- I don't know what the hell happened.

- Meems, can you give me a few?

- You just take off like that?

- I'll be right here if you need me.

Yeah, Meems, can you give her a few?

I don't know if there's an emergency...

You're just gone!

- Frankie's fine. Come on, lets go.

- Well, good to know.

Cindy, I'm here if you need me.

- OK, come on, let's go.

- Don't let him brainwash you.

- Can you give me a hand with this?

- "Don't let him brainwash you"?

Can you give me a hand?

Oh, God...

Look, OK, I know everything

got f***ed up last night.

OK?

Can't believe you'd show up here drunk.

Hey, I'm talking to you!

- Hey. I know that...

- Can you drive?

- What?

- I said can you drive?

What do you mean?

What kinda question is that?

Of course I can drive.

I know how to drive...

Take the keys, go home.

You don't even care

if I f***in' can drive.

You'd love it if I got in

a goddamned accident.

Yeah, I'd love it.

I'd just love it, you're so right.

That's the point. You don't

have any goddamned time anymore.

It all goes to this f***ing place.

And these f***ing people

don't give a sh*t about you.

- Do they? Hey!

- Just go home!

Hey, come here for a second,

I'm gonna come in there!

I'm gonna come in!

All right, I'm coming.

Just have a seat and we'll be

with you as soon as we can, OK?

Thank you.

- Are you OK? Is he gone?

- I f***ing hate him.

Why don't you just give her

a couple of minutes?

No. Dean, you can't come back here.

- Oh, God.

- Dean...

- You can't be back here.

- It's OK, you're OK.

I can't do this,

I can't take this sh*t.

- Come outside with me.

- Dean, I cannot take this sh*t anymore.

- Just come outside.

- I cannot take this sh*t.

I am not going outside with you.

I've had it!

- I've had it. I've had it.

- Come and talk to me...

I am up to here!

I'm done, OK? I'm done!

- Let's go outside...

- I'm done. I'm done.

Look, no... I am done. I am done.

I'm done with this.

I'm done being angry like this.

I'm done having you drunk like this.

I am done!

- Don't close that door!

- I'm closing the door.

- Don't...

- Don't talk like that.

- Mimi...

- Hey, don't talk to Mimi.

Hey, Mimi, you know what?

We're gonna take a little minute.

We're just gonna take a second.

You know what,

this is why I don't talk to you.

'Cause you go from here to here

in no time at all.

This is why you talk to me.

Because I'm here.

This is the only reason

you're talking to me.

- You f***in' a**hole.

- I'm a f***in' a**hole?

I'm so out of love with you.

I've got nothing left for you,

nothing, nothing!

Nothing! There is nothing here for you!

There is nothing here for you!

- I don't love you. I don't...

- Don't say stuff you can't take back.

You f***ing asked for it, you

asked me. You asked me. I talk to you.

I couldn't drive you crazy

unless I love you.

I gave you the goddamn answer

and you don't like it.

- Are you gonna hit me?

- That's why I don't talk to you.

No, I'm not gonna hit you.

- You're the bad guy, not me, a**hole.

- I'm the bad guy?

- Yeah, a**hole!

- OK.

F*** you! F*** you!

Yeah, I'm more man than you are,

you f***ing c*nt.

- Don't say that sh*t about being a man.

- I am, I am. I can handle it.

What is it with this sh*t

and being a man? What is that?

What does it even mean?

- What is that?

- What does it mean?

- What does it mean to be a man?

- You're scaring us, you're scaring us!

- It doesn't mean you can come here...

- Don't say that stuff.

- "Be a man!" What is that sh*t?

- I mean, don't bully...

I'll be a man.

You want me to be a man? Here you go.

- Is this what men do?

- Oh, just stop it.

- I'm a big man!

- Get out!

- Get out. Stop it!

- Look at me, I'm a big f***ing man!

- I'm being a man!

- No, I'm the man!

- I'm being a man now.

- Stop it! Stop it, now.

- Stop it! Stop it!

- Hold on. This is what men do.

I'm tired of talking.

I'm f***ing tired of talking.

- Hey, hey...

- Stop it!

Excuse me! Excuse me!

- What are you doing?!

- He's being an a**hole.

- Hey, stop!

- Who are you, by the way?

- Hey, take it easy.

- Who are you?

Who am I? I'm a doctor.

I'm Dr. Feinberg.

You're f***in' Dr. Feinberg?

You've been e-mailing my wife?

- Excuse me?

- You're the guy e-mailing my wife?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Stop it!

Don't! Don't! Don't!

- I'm gonna hit you in five seconds.

- No one is hitting anybody.

I'm gonna hit you in five seconds...

- I'm gonna hit you in five seconds!

- Mimi, call the cops.

- Five! Four!

- They're coming!

- Will you take it easy?

- Get out!

- Get out!

- Take it outside, my friend!

- Two!

- Think about your wife, will you?

- Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

- You f***ing son of a b*tch!

- I'm sorry... Look...

- I'm so sorry!

- I'm so sorry.

- Buddy, get up. Just get up.

What the f*** is the matter with you?

You got a glass jaw or something?

You can't take one hit?

- All right, that's enough!

- it's one hit!

What is wrong with you?

Oh, my God, you f***ing son of a b*tch!
