Good Deeds Page #7

I love you, Mommy.

I love you.

I love you.

This tie is too dark.

Where are you going?

To work. I started a Casual Friday.

You know,

last night, you...

You made love to me like...

Like...

Like what?

Like you were making love to someone else.

Well, if I did that,

then that would be unpredictable, right?

Hey.

Hi.

Can I take you to lunch?

Sure.

Wes, who is this?

This is Lindsey.

I know you.

- Where are you two going?

- To lunch.

Lunch?

Wow!

- I know, right?

- That's beautiful.

That is beautiful.

Hey, Lindsey, come on.

Get off this guy's bike.

What are you doing?

How are you so sure it's a man's bike?

I don't care whose it is,

you shouldn't be on it. Get off the bike.

It's from Baker Boy's Bikes.

I told them that you wanted to go on

a test drive and they trust me.

And your name carries a lot of weight,

so here she is.

Come on.

This is your lunch.

Put this on, so that you look cool.

Are you serious?

You were going like 100!

I couldn't believe it.

For someone like you, that's pretty wicked.

Sorry, I...

I just lost myself for a second.

No, you didn't lose her. You're okay.

- I thought I'd lost...

- You're okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

- Thank you.

- Okay.

I'll be at the office.

Or on my cell if you need anything.

Make your call.

You don't have to apologize

for doing what you feel.

It was good.

- You think the road's really dangerous!

- You are really...

What do you think is gonna happen?

Get hit by a car! You...

Oh, my God, you are just such a worrywart!

- You should just give it up!

- You are a piece of work.

No!

Oh, my God! You're tickling me!

- A piece of work.

- I know I am.

It's okay.

I'm engaged.

You're getting married.

- Yeah.

- Oh, God.

I'm sorry.

Then why are we...

Why are we even out here?

God!

You know, the motorcycle,

that was a really nice gesture.

Thank you.

Please. Please tell me you understand.

Please.

Congratulations.

I gotta get back to my daughter.

Damn! Where've you been?

Left my phone on the desk.

- You been trying to call me?

- About 10 times.

Sorry.

What's this?

Take a peek.

There's no way.

- He accepted it.

- Oh, man.

- Oh, man!

- Yeah.

- Oh, man.

- Yeah. Whoa!

You are all wet. Where did you go?

Sorry.

Man, you were worried, weren't you?

- I don't think I was as worried as you were.

- No. No one's as worried as me.

Congratulations.

This is the best news I've had all year.

- Great job. Great job, John

- Thank you.

Our lawyers have the agreements.

- I'm gonna call my mom and tell her...

- No, no, no.

Hey, look, let's...

Let's get the agreement signed first

and have everyone come here on Monday,

then we make the announcement

and celebrate.

- Champagne in the office?

- Sounds good to me.

- Good idea.

- Go change.

I just got to tell you my father,

Walter Deeds Senior,

is smiling down from heaven

right now on this moment.

We took over his competitor and caused

him a lot of stress over the years,

so I'm very proud of it.

I know my mother, Ms. Wilimena Deeds,

is very proud of it.

Thank you, everybody.

And don't drink too much,

four more hours of work left, okay?

Hear, hear!

- Hey, Lindsey.

- You all having a party?

My brother...

I wanted to talk to Wesley,

but I'll come back.

No, no, no. He'd love to see you.

Come on, he's right over there.

Come on, come on.

Hey, Wes! Wesley, look who I found.

Hi. Lindsey, how are you?

I didn't know this was going on.

I'll call you.

No, no, no. No. Don't leave.

This is Natalie, my fiance.

- This is Lindsey.

- Hi!

Great to meet you. You're gorgeous!

Goodness.

This is my friend Heidi

and her husband John...

- Who is she?

- I don't know.

I've never seen her before.

Mother, you never see the help.

She's a janitor.

A janitor?

Who invited her?

Oh, apparently, your good son did.

Hello.

This is my mother.

This is Wilimena, Lindsey.

Hi.

Lovely.

- Lovely, you are lovely.

- What?

How long have you known my son?

I don't know. Just a little while.

You know he has a penchant for projects.

Pen... What?

Projects.

He loves taking them on, renovating them.

He buys small businesses,

makes them bigger and better

and then he sells them, and walks away.

Did you suck all of the life out of her,

Mom, like you do everybody else?

You are drunk. Go home and sleep it off.

No, no, Mother. Why would I do that?

I'm gonna go get him off her.

The only time you pay attention to me

is when I cause a scene.

Walter!

And here's the good brother.

You, doing everything

everybody tells you to.

You know, Mom, I did the deal. All right?

I did it.

I called Brunson and I went to his house

and I made the deal happen.

Okay.

Why is everybody acting

like you can't hear me?

- I did this deal!

- We know that, Walter.

Okay.

Walter, we know. We know you did the deal.

Don't you dare look at me like that.

I don't... I don't need your pity!

Dad wanted me

to run this company, Wesley, me!

- And I can run it, Wesley!

- Walter.

Yes, you can, right into the ground,

just like you run your life.

- You go to hell!

Take your hands off me!

Where you going? Where you going?

You're not leaving, you're not...

Take your hands off me!

Give me the keys!

- Walter.

- Give me the keys!

- Stop them!

- Oh, my God, stop it!

Stop it, stop it, stop it!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Stop it!

You okay?

Isn't it ironic?

We're all stuck here.

Just like you're stuck

in a career you don't even want.

I hate you.

Let me out of here!

Let me out of here!

Let me out of here!

Let me out of here!

Hey.

Are you all right?

What happened?

Come on.

- Where's Ariel?

- She's asleep.

Oh, no.

Don't do that!

What are you doing?

Do you even know what it is that you want?

Am I a project for you, Wesley, is that it?

You gonna fix me up,

so that you can feel whole?

You got all these people,

they're all around you

and they all envy what you got,

but the truth is, look at you.

You're not happy.

You need to go and find

what makes you really happy.

Why don't you think you deserve that?

That's why...

That's why I'm here.

You're not attracted to me.

Look at me.

I don't think

I was ever really attracted to you.

We're just both going through

some rough stuff right now.

Yeah, fine. You know what?

I get it. You're not...

You're not attracted to me, okay?

I'm sick of people telling me

how to feel all the time.

I'm fine.

Did you sleep with her?

No.

I don't think we're ready to get married.

I know.

But I love you so much.

I love you, too.

But it's not enough, is it?

No.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't you say something to me?

Mob mentality.

Our parents, our friends, everybody...

"Oh, you guys are such a cute couple."

We bought it lock, stock and barrel.

I always thought I'd

find a great guy,

have him take care of me,

raise a family, live happily ever after.

I kind of figured out along the way that

I like taking care of myself.

You're the only woman
