---

1

No!

No!

Please, let me go, Jimmy!

You're not going anywhere. You're

staying here with me, ain't ya?!

Get back here!

Damn it, I said get back in here!

- You're very high.

- Oh, I'm high?

- You're scaring me.

- Oh, really?

Please, I'll take Dale, and

we'll stay at my mom's.

We'll let you sleep it off!

No, you're not. You're not going anywhere, b*tch!

You always run away, you're

always runnin' somewhere.

I know it's worse this time.

You wanna go watch?

Suit yourself.

Stay here.

...That little freak? That little piece of sh*t?!

I ain't even certain he's mine! Is he?

Is-is that little f***ing freak mine?!

Did you f*** around on me?!

Who you been f***ing around with?

You're hurting me!

Help me.

Come here.

Put-put the knife down!

- Get on the ground!

- Get on the f***ing ground!

- Drop the knife!

- Drop the knife!

Get on the ground!

Get on the ground!

- Get on the ground!

- Freeze!

Go, go, go!

Go!

Hey, kid, what's your name?

- Dale.

- Dale, you OK? Is your mom inside?

Stay here.

Reno PD, entering premises.

Police, coming in.

Stay there.

This is unit 610. Code 999.

Shots fired, requesting backup.

Did you hear that bang, mama?

I think they got him.

It's gonna be alright now.

Mama?

Sh*t.

Well, this is a disaster.

What are you doing up? I was

gonna make you breakfast in bed.

Well, you've gotta get it on the plate first.

Ha-ha-ha.

Besides, I haven't quite worked

up an appetite yet, anyway.

Um, well, what about pancakes?

You can lick butter and syrup off me.

- Oh...

- I like it.

Um, did you notice, uh, someone new

just moved in across the street?

Really? That's what you're

thinking about right now?

Yeah, thought we could go introduce

ourselves before I go to work.

OK.

What?

Nothing.

I just-I don't have time right now.

Oh, but you have time to meet the new neighbor.

- Sarah...

- Look, it's fine.

It's fine. I'll be down in a sec.

- OK.

- OK.

He's home, right?

I think that's his car in the driveway.

Hi, uh, we live across the street. Thought

we'd come and introduce ourselves.

I'm Josh... and, uh, this is my wife, Sarah.

Hi.

Dale.

Dale.

Are these for me?

Yeah, welcome to the hood.

Did you make them?

No, I'd be lying if I said I did.

So you didn't make them?

No, they're from a packet.

It's the thought that counts.

Great house you got here.

Probably... rented it for a steal, huh?

With the, uh, economy and... and all.

Is everything OK?

Sorry.

It's just that you-you remind me of someone.

So, what is it that you do, Josh?

Croupier over on the... I work on the strip.

Yeah, no, Sarah's the brains

in, uh, this relationship.

Yeah. She's, uh, just finished grad school

and is working on her dissertation,

the, uh, Sociological Effects of Internet

Pornography on Modern Relationships.

Or, something like that.

Yeah, she's, uh, going for her doctorate in social

science and already has an offer from UNLV.

You know what, Josh? Maybe we should

let Dale go, don't you think?

Right, of course.

Sorry, listen to me. Umm...

Anyway, great to meet you, Dale,

and, uh, we'll... see you around.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, my God, Leslie.

I can feel him kicking.

How do you know it's a him?

Oh, no girl could be that cruel.

I know what you're thinking, smart ass.

I didn't say anything.

OK, wait, so... what was it, again? You've

slept with two guys since your divorce?

One was black, one was Korean, so when this one

comes out, it won't take a genius to do the math.

Right, right.

Black, Korean, it is all extremes with you. One

was probably too big, one was probably too small.

Yeah! No sh*t! That Korean

was hung like an elephant.

He'll come around. You'll see.

I know, I just...

I don't know, I want him to

be ready, too, you know?

Oh, my God.

Buster!

Buster, come here!

That scares the sh*t out of me every time.

Best watch dog a girl could

ever have, aren't you, buddy?

- Do you want some more tea?

- No, I should get this one home.

Right, and yeah, I should get some work done.

But it's Sunday, a day of rest.

Mmm, I'll rest when I'm dead.

Hi, Sarah.

It's, uh, Dale.

Oh, of course, Dale. I'm sorry.

I'm a little out of it today.

So, how long have you been working here?

Um, I just transferred from the other Super A.

72.80.

Let me help you out to your car.

Dale, this really isn't necessary.

Oh, that's your car, right?

Yeah.

Oh, here, let me get it for you.

Thank you.

This is really nice of you.

- Oh, no, no, no.

- Please.

- I'm your neighbor, not a stranger.

- Just take it.

No, no, no.

I'm your neighbor, not a stranger.

OK, thank you.

- Shoot.

- Oh, Dale?

I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on.

Thank you. Bye.

- And river...

- Whoo-hoo.

She's a winner.

Sorry, sucker.

You're on a roll.

You're my lucky charm.

Thank you.

And that's my cue.

Uh-oh. Can I buy you a drink?

Uh, it's a casino, Helen. Drinks are free.

So am I.

Bye, Helen. All yours.

What's that, your retirement fund?

Yeah, f***ing day shift.

Welfare checks only, please.

I know, man. Hey, you wanna grab lunch?

I got the, uh, I got the good stuff.

C'mon, Johnny, you know I

can't do that sh*t anymore.

Besides, I, um, I got another

one of those appointments.

Wow. Wow, OK.

Well, you're a determined son

of a b*tch, I'll give you that.

- Shot for luck?

- Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, come on.

On the house.

Thank you.

You do wanna have a baby with me, don't you?

I mean, starting a family, it's a big deal.

I-I guess I just need a little more time.

It's-it's only been, like,

the last couple of months

since your accident that we've...

even talked about it.

I got a second shot, babe.

I don't wanna waste any more time.

I want to make every moment count.

So, let's go skydiving.

Hello?

Hey, babe, it's me.

Shouldn't you be home?

I know, I'm sorry,

I haven't been able to call 'til now.

Um, I am gonna rest up here for a

couple of hours and take another shift.

Really?

Yeah, I mean, I wanna take

as many as I can right now.

You know...

Night shifts mean bigger tips. I get it.

I mean, I don't like it, but I get it.

Look, as soon as I'm finished with this God damn

thesis, I will start contributing again, I swear.

No, it's... it's not that. I mean...

I think it's time we started

to save for the future.

I mean, who knows what that may bring, right?

Uh, yeah. OK, listen, hon, I gotta go. Umm...

You sure you're alright with this?

Yeah, no, I'm fine, of course.

- Go.

- OK, I'll see you in the morning.

Love you.

- There you are.

- Hello.

I'm glad you made it. How you doin'?

- Good, how are you?

- I'm good.

Look at you. You are just gorgeous.

And when I saw you in that club the other day,

I just had-I just had to have you...

Great ass...

Dale, what a pleasant surprise.

Really?

How can I help you?

Ta-da! All gone.

The cookies.

They were delicious.

I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Well, at first, I was a little

upset because they're not homemade...

because homemade's better, right?
