Demolition Page #4
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What kinda sh*t
you trying to pull here, pal?
No, no, no, I'm not a cop.
I... I just wanna help.
You know what, I'll...
You know, I'll give you, uh...
I'll give you $241.
Go on, take it.
I'll work hard.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no. No, don't use that,
don't use that.
Here. Put these on,
use this...
Now knock the wall down.
This guy's a f***in' animal.
He's probably a crackhead.
Crackheads don't
give people $200.
They suck dick for $20.
I mean, you should know.
Yeah, don't ask,
it's embarrassing.
I, uh, closed the car door
on my jacket,
and your sprinklers turned on.
Then, the stupid lock...
It sometimes gets stuck...
I couldn't...
You're high, aren't you?
A little bit...
D'you want some grilled cheese?
I needed some work overalls.
I guess I got a little carried
away at the army surplus.
lovely.
Aside from the appliances,
it's the kind of house
I hate this house.
It's just shiny stuff.
I can't have sex with you.
It'd be dangerous.
There's that word again.
Is Carl really out of town,
or did you just chop him up
into little pieces
and stuff him
in your sock drawer?
That's ridiculous.
I don't have a sock drawer.
Well... where do you
keep all your socks?
In the same drawer
as my underwear.
What?
I just...
You know, I just think
a woman's underwear
is deserving of its own space.
This is all I can handle.
That's fine.
Let's just fall asleep together.
Together?
Together apart.
I'm not in love with Carl,
you know.
He's a good man. He really is.
He loves me.
Probably more than he should.
But I dunno...
I'd like to be
able to do what you do.
To be completely honest.
I think you just were.
Not even close.
You must be Chris.
You f***in' my mom?
No, I'm not.
We were just sleeping...
She's f***in' crazy.
If you haven't noticed,
she's a f***in' pot head.
She calls it cannabis
'cause it makes her
feel like less of
a f***in' pothead.
You say "f***" a lot.
So?
So you're just
not using it properly.
The f*** does that mean?
That's what I mean.
"F***" is a great word,
but if you use it too much,
then it just loses its value.
And you sound stupid.
F*** you.
Exactly.
I feel nothing,
and you sound like an idiot.
Have a good one!
Who the...
Hi.
You've reached Davis Mitchell.
I'm unavailable at the moment,
If you're looking for Julia,
she isn't with us anymore,
which makes her
also unavailable.
Davis,
I am deeply concerned
with your well-being.
I'm trying to reach out to you,
I'm trying to help,
but you refuse!
If you don't wish to participate
in the architecture
of your wife's legacy,
then so be it.
Just contact me
so I can free you
from this burden.
One more thing.
If you have any respect
for the memory of my daughter,
you'll erase
that f***ing message.
This is Karen, customer service.
Hello, Karen, customer service.
Hello, mister Mitchell,
what can I do for you today?
but there's a station wagon
that's been stalking me
for the past couple of days,
and this does raise
a number of concerns,
including "a," why would
anyone be following me?
"B," am I possibly in
some kind of danger?
And "c,"
who the f*** still drives
a station wagon?
This is where you get
your prescription filled?
Okay, I lied.
It's not a prescription.
Hey, ray.
This is my friend Davis.
Hello, young man.
Ah, my favorite kind.
Thank you.
And this is for you.
It grows wild in my garden.
Don't ask me how.
Makes me think too much.
How 'bout you? You need some?
Oh, no.
Oh, that beauty arrived in 1961.
From Paris.
You should've seen 'er.
A real masterpiece.
Look at that, huh?
Ain't that a beauty?
But nobody wants
carousels anymore.
They want roller coasters
that go upside down
and make you puke.
Would you believe
we've got to tear it down?
Really?
Yeah. Too many repairs.
Too much money.
Can I help you?
I have my own tools.
You're very strange...
Whoo!
You got it! You got it!
Oh!
Karen Moreno,
ladies and gentlemen!
Julia loved the ocean.
We used to spend our summers
at her folks' place
in east Hampton.
That's where she wanted to be.
You miss her?
So. Where exactly
are you feeling numb?
Sort of in this whole
area right in here.
And how long have you
been feeling like this?
Can't say...
Ten or twelve years.
Davis... not sure
how to tell you this.
Come on. See for yourself.
Part of your heart is missing.
What?
How did that happen?
Judging by the bite pattern,
I'd say gypsy moths.
F*** me.
Excuse me?
Dear Karen, I keep
thinking about my childhood.
When I was sick,
and I would lay my head
in my mother's lap,
she'd run her fingers
through my hair.
She'd kiss my eyelids.
And that made everything better.
Do you think
it's too late for that?
Live here now or something?
No. Shouldn't you
be in school?
I'm suspended.
For what?
Telling the truth.
Had to do this presentation
in world affairs.
About our military presence
in the middle east.
Yeah?
What do you know about it?
June 5th.
During a routine patrol
through the Helmand province,
lieutenant Dan Doviak's Hummer
pulled over
to the side of the road
To their surprise,
she had 60 pounds
of explosives
strapped to her body.
Oh, sh*t.
The Hummer was
engulfed in flames.
And the Afghan citizens chanted,
"death to America."
Doviak and his unit
were burned alive.
They suspend you for that?
Did you have a good day?
Enjoy your little vacay?
I'm changing the music, baby.
Come on, lighten up.
Tell me what you did today.
Did you hang out
with that cute girl?
The one with
the high-waisted jeans?
You know, not everyone
can pull that look off.
Right?
Are you for real right now?
I spoke with your principal,
miss... Tersian?
I found her to be very
thoughtful and empathetic.
The good news is,
she's letting you
come back starting Monday.
You have to spend a few weeks
with the counselor,
but I think you're
getting off pretty easy.
What's the bad news?
What do you mean?
What the hell
are you talking about?
There's some random guy
eating in our house
while your boyfriend/boss
is out of town,
and you're bragging to me
about a heart-to-heart you had
with my dyke principal?
Would you just...
Okay? Gimme a break!
Davis is a friend of mine.
We've been
spending time together
because that's what friends do.
You... you spend time.
You're so transparent.
The man's wife just died.
Have some compassion,
you little sh*t!
I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry.
Your wife just died?
Yeah.
How?
Massive head trauma,
car accident.
Can you pass the salt?
I was thinking about
what you said about
how I'm not using
the f-word properly.
Yeah? What'd you come up with?
Maybe you're right.
