- You'd be dead without me.

- Shut up!

- I should have left you in that bath tub.

- Shut up.

- Shut up!

- Your father...

- Shut up!

- Your father, he'd be crying...

- Shut up! Shut up!

- ...but you wouldn't have to help me

or wouldn't have to talk to me.

I didn't ask you

for any of that.

- Why didn't I leave you there?

- I didn't want that.

- You're here because of me.

- I didn't ask you for that.

- And I was in the hospital...

- I don't know why...

- ...every single day.

- ...I'm here, but it's not for you.

And don't f***ing talk

about my dad.

Thank you.

Thank you, okay,

for protecting your meal ticket.

Brava.

If you want to congratulate

yourself, go ahead.

But I'm done.

How can you say that?

Sit down.

- Sit the f*** down.

- I'm not sitting down.

Don't try it again.

Don't try it again!

- I'm finished!

- No.

Listen to me.

Hey! Stop it!

- I have to go.

- [thuds]

- Jesus!

- [sobs]

[sobs] Get up.

[sobbing]

[continues sobbing]

We can get through this.

We can get through this because

we... We care about each other.

Say it.

Say it with me.

[both] We care

about each other.

I... I wanna help...

I wanna help you

and so all you have to do is...

Show me how to do that.

[sobs] I... I can't lose you.

I need you too.

We need each...

We need... We need each other.

So...

Take some time.

- Take all the time that you need.

- I just need some time.

[sobbing]

I'll... I'll be there for you.

You.

I'm sorry.

I really am trying.

Me too.

[both sobbing]

Are you okay?
