phone number in case of an emergency.
He was with Cecilia for a few minutes.
He said hi, he looked at the room.
Is there some problem?
Is he not allowed to?
Is there some restraining order
against him?
- No......
- No.
I was just... wondering if Ceci was...
Still imagining things?
Actually, I am glad you brought that up.
Her imaginary friend hasn't gone away.
In fact, she threw somewhat of a tantrum
during circle time
when we wouldn't let her "friend"
sing along.
I had to have her take a time-out.
I am sorry. I will certainly
talk to Ceci about that.
You know, the PTA provides
a psychologist, Katie Shoettle.
She's very nice. She comes every
Wednesday. It's absolutely no charge.
I will talk to Ceci about it. It will stop.
You will see.
Couple of days, blend right in.
You won't see the difference.
I am sure you're right. Thank you.
You know, those kids were up there
again last night, running around,
and I could hear them running water.
So...
You know what I am going to do?
I am going to speak with Murray
about changing the lock on 10F.
You know what he told me?
Rimsky paid no rent this month.
- He's probably not coming back anyway.
- OK.
Well, that would be great
Starting to have nightmares
about what's going on up there.
- Really? You got to relax, huh?
- Can I get you something before you go?
Yeah. Get me a reward for all this
hard work I have been doing.
Yeah? I think I have beer.
- You want a beer?
- I don't drink beer.
Coffee? I could make a pot of coffee
if you want.
Oh, forget it. I have been working
hard today. I am tired. I am going.
OK. Well, thank you.
Can I have it now?
Oh, so sorry, kid.
Somebody came by for it today.
They were visiting town,
left it there by accident.
Oh, that little girl,
she was so happy to have it back.
- You're lying.
- Ceci.
He's lying, Mommy. Nobody came.
You want to teach that goddamn brat
some manners, lady.
Sorry.
What is the matter with you?
Mm.
Mac and cheese. My favorite.
I love you, Mommy.
I love you too, sweetheart.
I love you very much.
But, you know, it was very wrong of you
to call Mr. Veeck a liar.
- You know that, don't you?
- He is a liar.
Ceci. You don't know that he's a liar.
- Yes, I do.
- How? How do you know that?
Natasha told me he still had
the Hello Kitty backpack in his desk.
I want to talk to you
about your imaginary friend, OK?
- She's not imaginary.
- She's not?
She's lost. Her mommy forgot about her
and now she's lost.
Like you.
- What are you talking about?
- Your mommy forgot about you, right?
Did someone tell you that?
- You did.
- No.
I didn't tell you that, Ceci.
Who told you that?
I am asking you a question.
- Who told you?
- Natasha told me.
Stop it. You stop lying to me.
Who told you?
Who told you?
Who told you?
- Hello?
- Hi, I am just calling to arrange...
What are you trying to do? Sneaking into
her school, telling her it isn't any good?
Talking to her about my mother?
How dare you talk to her about my mother.
Look, I don't know who or what pressed
your wacko button today, and I don't care,
I am calling to tell you I am picking
up Ceci Saturday at nine.
I will bring her back Sunday at six.
Don't play any games.
Have her there, 9 a.m. sharp.
- I tell you punks. No skating in here.
- Yeah, yeah.
She's cute.
Daddy's here.
Hey.
Look at you.
You shouldn't be smoking, Daddy.
I am going to quit real soon, honey.
I promise.
- Thank you, Daddy.
- Satisfied?
As far as I am concerned,
you can smoke as much as you like, Kyle.
Honey.
- I will bring her back tomorrow at six.
- OK.
- Bye, Mommy.
- Bye, honey.
Hey, pretty lady. What's happening?
Laundry. Excuse me.
I got some dirty things
I'd like you to clean.
Sorry.
I forgot my smokes.
Help.
Smart-ass kids.
Steve and Billy. They did this.
You will see. Monday, the plumbers come.
They will find something stuck in there.
They gum them up. Brats.
- Who's Natasha?
- What?
Who's Natasha Rimsky?
Little girl. 10F.
Where is she now?
How do I know? With her mother, I guess.
Couldn't stand living
with that crazy Russian husband of hers.
Took the little girl with her.
That Russki, he was a piece of work.
Always "blyad".
Look, there's a Laundromat
down the block.
I will get you some garbage bags
so you don't get wet carrying them there.
The itsy-bitsy spider
climbed up the water spout
Hi, Mommy.
Glad you like spaghetti and meatballs.
- It's my favorite.
- Your favorite?
I love them, Mommy.
I am glad.
Mm.
I love you, Mommy.
You haven't said anything
about what your dad's new place is like.
- I don't like it.
- Really?
Yeah.
Well, maybe it's just new
and you need to get used to it.
But I don't want to get used to it.
I don't want to stay with Daddy.
I only want to stay with you.
Well, your dad loves you. He will be
happy that you spent this time with him.
Itsy-bitsy spider
climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
- Honey, can you stop singing that?
- Why? It happened.
I want to go to bed now, Mommy.
I am tired.
- Mommy?
- Mm?
I am scared, Mommy.
I want to sleep with you.
Yeah.
I love you, Mommy.
Thank you for taking care of me.
Ceci?
- Hello?
- Mommy, where were you?
- I was napping.
- No, not now. Last night.
Where were you last night? I called
two times for you to say goodnight to me.
- Where were you?
- Last night?
OK, Daddy. Daddy says he's bringing
me home a half an hour early.
OK, Daddy. 5:
30.He says to be there in the lobby at 5:30.
- Don't fall asleep again, Mommy.
- OK.
I got to go. I am getting chocolate cake.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Dahlia, where have you been?
I left two messages.
I lost a day, Mary.
I took a pill, just one pill,
and it knocked me out for 24 hours.
And I am tired, really tired.
It's like I haven't slept at all.
Dahlia, are you OK? Are you really OK?
My headache's gone. But the leak is back.
It's back?
I thought they were going to fix that thing.
- Dahlia?
- Yeah?
- Are you OK?
- Yeah, I am fine.
You have five new messages.
First new message.
Long nap, huh? Call me.
Message erased.
Next message.
Hi, Jeff Platzer here. I got the
preliminaries from your husband's lawyer
and I need to touch base with you about
his accusations as soon as possible.
Believe it or not I am actually available
on Sunday afternoon until five.
If you are, would you call my cell?
OK. Bye.
- Mrs. Williams?
- Yeah.
Hi. I am your lawyer.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I am sorry it's such a mess.
- No, it's OK.
I just moved into a new office
and they have painted it.
I can't stand the smell
so I am improvising.
OK.
- Hi. Uhhh.
- Hi.
- So...
- OK.
Your husband's claiming
you're mentally unstable
because your father
was physically abusive
and your mother was an alcoholic
who abandoned you.
