And my mom, she's

been alone all this time...

until she met

this guy, Dekker.

Well, anyway, he charmed her

and then he married her...

and then he took everything.

Everything.

He skipped town

with her whole life savings.

- And it broke her heart, you know?

- Yeah.

And he could have killed her

like that other woman, you know?

Hey, hey, come on.

take care of everything. Right, guys?

Hey, Gus, please don't say that, okay?

' Cause it can't get any worse.

I mean, I'm so sick of,

like, every time that we...

we get in trouble,

if something goes bad, we think

of, like, worse situations

just so we could say,

"You know, this ain't so bad.

It could be a lot worse."

it can't get any worse.
