Fear Page #4

This is all about David.

- There's something wrong with him.

- That's your problem, not mine.

- He's not a good guy.

- Look, Dad.

David and I had

a disagreement.

Maybe we'll get past it,

maybe we won't.

But no matter what happens,

it'll be between us.

This doesn't have

anything to do with you.

[Sighs]

Oh, God!

What the hell

was that about?

Oh, boy.

He hit her too, Laura.

I know he did.

You heard what she said.

I don't care what anybody says.

He hit her.

Fine.

But don't think you can bully her

into growing up, Steven.

It doesn't work that way.

So he hit ya.

Sometimes that's just their a**hole way

of showing they love you.

- He didn't mean to hit me.

It was an accident.

- Fine.

- So then what's the problem?

- I don't know.

Do yourself a favor and don't think so

much. It gives you premature wrinkles.

My dad hates him,

that's for sure.

Well, that means that he knows

you're sleeping together.

You know, it's that usual

weirdo jealously trip.

How could he possibly know

we were sleeping together?

Caught ya, ya ho! You never told

me you were screwin' him!

Ach! Tch. You'll always

remember your first.

Not your second,

not your third.

Just your first.

- Party!

- Oh, sh*t!

No! No! Logan!

- Don't you dare! [Shrieking]

- Goin' in.

- [Knobby Laughs]

- [Margo Shrieks]

Nicole. Nicole.

Just give me one minute?

[Sighs]

[Engine Stops]

I know you never

wanna see me again,

but I still

have to explain.

There's nothin' that I can say

that'll make what I did all right.

I know that, but I need you to know

that it came from someplace good.

It came from me feelin' like

I'd do anything to protect you.

- From Gary?

- I didn't know it was Gary.

I swear. All I saw was some guy

with his paws all over you.

I mean, knowin' how many

bad guys are out there...

guys that would take

advantage of somebody like you.

Guys that I would kill if they

ever did anything to hurt you.

I just lost it.

I want you to know...

that I'm very sorry about

what happened to Gary, I am.

But I can't be sorry

that I love you.

I learned from you,

Nicole, I really did.

I learned that I need people

more than I thought.

I've always been the one

takin' care of things.

And with you,

it's different.

And I want us to

take care of each other.

And I'll promise nothin' like that

will ever happen again.

I'm sorry.

I'm home.

- Laura?

- [Laughter]

- No! No, no, no.

- Come here. Oh, yes, yes.

[Laura Laughs]

Hey there! Isn't this

Indian summer great?

- What's goin' on?

- Well, it's warm.

We're taking advantage.

You oughta jump in.

What's he doin' here?

What's he doin' here, Laura?

Steven, would you rather

she lied and snuck off to see him?

- [David, Nicole Chuckling]

- You made the rules.

I appreciate it.

Thank you very much.

[Phone Beeping]

- Hello.

- You remember that song

and dance Nicole gave us...

about David growing up like

Beaver Cleaver in some perfect

little town back East?

- Yeah, something like that.

- Well, guess again.

The kid bounced from foster home

to foster home to institution...

until he was finally kicked out

on his ass at 18.

Since then, no one knows.

He's got no family, no address,

no work record... nothin'.

All right. So the guy's embarrassed

about being an orphan.

Not his fault, by the way.

So he makes up a story about having

a happy childhood to impress a girl.

- What's the big deal?

- The big deal, Laura, is that

the guy give me the creeps...

and the girl

is my daughter.

[Receiver Slamming]

- Hello, David.

- Hi, Mr. Walker.

- You got a minute?

I need to talk to you.

- I'm meeting Nicole.

This won't take long.

- All right.

- Follow me around the corner.

David, I don't want

to beat around the bush.

I came to tell you that

you're gonna stop seeing Nicole.

Now, either you're as smart as you think

you are and you'll just go away,

or else you're gonna make things harder

on yourself than they have to be.

You know, Steve,

you're really not a f*ggot.

- What?

- I'm serious.

Seem like a pretty solid guy.

You should lighten up on yourself.

- We're not talkin' about me.

We're talkin' about...

- Yes, we are.

That's what this whole thing's

about, Steve. Your inadequacies.

- Your fears.

- You just wait a minute.

Listen to me. See, I'm hip

to your problems. All of 'em.

I know you abandoned Nicole

when she needed you most...

'cause I licked her sweet tears.

I know about things comin' apart

at work. Maybe you f***in'

lost it in that department.

I also know you ain't

keepin' up, so to speak,

your end of the bargain

with the missus.

'Cause if you were,

she wouldn't be all over my stick.

Relax, Steve.

We're friends.

[Chuckles]

We're practically family.

I want you to understand

something, pal.

If you don't disappear from my family's

life, I'm gonna rip your balls off...

and shove 'em so far up your ass

they'll come out your f***in' mouth!

You got that, my friend?

[Engine Revving,

Tires Squealing]

Steve, what I'm saying is,

even if he's got a record

and we can convince a judge,

this thing could still backfire.

You tell some kid that

the state is restraining him,

you'll make him want it more.

We've gotta do something.

I'm not gonna just sit around.

Let me ask you something

as your friend.

Are you sure you're not just

fighting the inevitable here?

You didn't expect she

was gonna stay a virgin, did you?

Alex, the guy

is a psychopath.

Because he's hot

for your daughter?

Took a jealous swing at some guy,

talked trash to you?

- Are you gonna help me or not?

- Yeah, of course.

I'll make a couple of calls

for you, all right?

- Where's my father?

- He's in his workroom.

You know, Dad, I never expect you

to be perfect, 'cause I know I'm not.

But I never thought

you were a hypocrite until now.

Honey, calm down.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about you lecturing me

about what David did to Gary,

and then turning around and acting

a million times worse yourself.

- I don't know what he told you...

- He didn't have to tell me

anything. I saw the bruises.

- What bruises?

- You're gonna tell me that

you never touched him,

that you didn't hit him so hard in

the chest that he's sore and bruised?

- Look, I-I may have...

- Yeah, exactly, Dad.

You may have. But I'll tell you

what you definitely did.

You lost my respect.

Nicole, come back here!

- [Door Slamming Shut]

- Nicole!

Nicole!

F***!

[Sighing]

She ran to the car, she got in,

and she slammed the door

in my face, if you need to know.

What?

What are you talkin' about?

She's only 16.

So what if she wasn't kidnapped?

I still have the right to... Huh?

Fine, I'll call a lawyer!

Just you and me, Nicole.

Nobody else.

Nobody else.

Mmm.

- Do you want me?

- Yes.

Tell me.

Tell me you want me.

[Moaning]

- I want you, David.

- Yeah?

[Whimpering]

- David.

- Yeah?

I love you.

And wild horses

Couldn't drag me away
