Goodbye to All That Page #2

And then, Lilly's mom gave us

fresh roadkill, which was muffins.

What's fresh... of what?

- Fresh roadkill.

She gave us what she said

was fresh roadkill.

Even though it was

pumpkin muffins.

Oh, she was joking? - Yeah.

Okay.

You're boiling over. Watch out!

So anyway, Lilly has

a big house, so last Saturday

I went over and she has a garden

with these cool, old stonewalls

and we played like

it was a castle.

Like it was a castle?

Have you seen my backyard?

Have you seen how big it is?

Come on. Come on.

I'll show you the backyard.

Come on.

Can we have a garden? I wanna

make, like, a secret garden

with walls and gates

and flowers.

Uh... walls? Okay.

Like over here.

You can do that, couldn't you?

And then maybe Lilly

could come over.

Um... sure. Yeah.

Let's ask her for a date.

Or um... you know, play date.

Yeah. Except, you know,

her mother doesn't know you.

You'd have to make that okay.

Absolutely.

How do we do that?

Goodnight, Edith.

Ow! You shocked me.

Sorry.

Daddy, you're so funny.

I love you.

I love you too.

And, um, I'm really sorry

this all had to happen.

I know.

Mama says now she can breathe.

Can you breathe? Are you okay?

I'm okay.

That's not work, is it?

Oh, it's, um...

Mm-hmm. Come on.

I heard some news.

I wanna talk to you. Follow me.

Is it the audit? Are you...

You're not firing people,

are you?

Don't tell me

that I'm gonna lose my job.

You're getting divorced?

How... how did you hear that?

I haven't even told anyone.

Oh, that's horrible! Horrible!

Oh, I bet you're

just stunned, right?

I mean... listen, we don't have

to talk about it.

I mean, I am your boss,

it's private.

Yeah. Well, I...

Well, you just think of yourself

as the biggest loser ever, right?

Well... I really don't know

what's happening.

I just sort of... I just sort of

muddle through my days,

you know.

And I'm... I'm stunned

like you said.

Yeah, well, I don't wanna

scare you too badly

but divorce is hands down the worst thing

I ever went through my entire life.

Really? - Mm-hmm.

'Cause no matter how horrible

the marriage was...

I don't even think

it was that bad.

Yeah, well, you know what? It's

not as bad as what's ahead of you

because at one time you thought

there was love there, right

in your life?

Well, you were wrong.

Listen to me, okay?

It's been 5 years, and I still don't have

a clue why it all went wrong, really.

I mean, you're never going

to really understand.

How did you get through it?

Oh, Otto, I was suicidal

for like a year.

And I didn't even know it. I was

just drifting along, right?

Took me forever to find

a reason to live.

And what was it?

- I'm just so sorry for you.

I can't tell you how sorry I am.

Tell me you'll be okay.

- I'll be okay.

Yeah? You're gonna be alright?

Sure. - Oh, God! It's awful.

Thanks for your concern, Holly.

I've got 8 cats.

Okay.

I shouldn't have brought it up.

Shazam!

Dick Conner!

Annie! Annie! F***!

F***!

Sh*t!

Sh*t!

You know, if this

hematoma doesn't go down

we might have to go back in

and change the bolts.

Okay?

Uh, go back in? - Uh-huh.

And let me tell you this.

You start feeling

a knobby hard place up here?

And you find your toes

are turning purple?

We will be chopping it off.

The foot.

Um, uh...

No? - Oh, yeah.

You know, I've set a goal of...

You know, there's this 10K

that I'd like to be ready for.

You know, I'm trying

to scare you.

Oh, you're doing a good job.

So be smart.

How are you doing otherwise?

- I'm great.

Mm-hmm.

How are your girls?

Annie's running?

We're separated.

Well, no wonder you're pushing.

Yeah. I'm just trying

to get healthy.

I got... I got what you need.

Generic Ativan.

Just for when the blues

come on.

Mellows things out.

I pop 'em like candy.

I'm kiddin'.

But we all need some way

to get through the night.

Try and find

some other activity

that keeps you off your feet.

Okay. - Know what I mean?

Huh? - Alright.

Keep using the cane.

"...free time. What's your

favorite restaurant?"

Oh!

Oh, my God. Otto!

Aah. - I gotta go.

Have the Hammersmark

transferred to Chicago

and don't bother me

with it again.

Oh, my God! You look fantastic.

Thank you.

Wow! - Ha ha!

I'm always early. - Good.

Oh! You're so hot!

You're handsome!

You're... you're smokin'!

Do you not hear that

all the time?

No. I'm married.

Or... - Okay.

Um, sit down.

I got this Pinot Gris.

Okay. - wife.

And you're like

still so beautiful.

You still talk so softly.

I was so thrilled

to find you again.

I mean, how long has it been

since we dated? Like, 15 years?

Uh, more actually.

Ow! - Jesus!

Whoa! It's alright.

Are you okay? - Yeah.

Life, huh? - Just not myself.

Um, uh, yeah!

I saw on the, um...

I saw on the, um...

You've got big sons.

I just...

- Can you believe it?

I mean, they're both

at McCallie Prep.

Mm-hmm.

And, um, you've a little girl.

I do.

Uh, uh, Ede. She's 9.

Hmm. - She's great.

Who did you marry, Otto Wall?

Annie.

Mick Williams.

I don't think you know her.

Um, and... and we're not

together.

Hmm.

Is she beautiful?

Uh, um...

Yeah.

Yeah.

My sons are gonna be studs.

- No kidding. Come on.

Grayson was a stud. - Yeah.

You never met Grayson, did you?

No, I don't think so.

Not face to face.

- He was a f***ing a**hole!

He cheated on me four times.

I mean, how stupid am I?

What about you? - Um...

Um, no. You know, no I...

No cheating.

Are you recent?

We divorced last fall.

Well, we're... we're...

We're not actually

divorced yet.

Hmm.

Wow! I've never said

that word before.

Get used to it.

It's a f***ing great word.

It's a great place to be.

No f***ing strings!

I have never had so much fun.

I should tell you straight out

I'm not around a lot.

In and out.

No strings.

Thank you for driving up

from Charlotte.

No problem.

I think

this wine's too fruity. Um...

Let me order something else?

Do you want something, or...

What do you want?

Now get up.

I like to be at my desk by 8.

If I go 90 on the freeway,

I'll make it.

I have a power bar in the car.

It was so fun to see you, Otto.

You should think about

boarding school for your kid.

Stay in touch

when you can, alright?

It's so easy now.

Don't get up, okay?

You are shitting me.

We had a really hot time.

This is an old girlfriend

who found you on Facebook?

Women.

You know,

it's... it's kind of exciting.

It's like a new world.

I mean, I don't know if

it'll even ever happen again

but I think it was

just maybe 'cause...

I'm available?

- This isn't dating.

Ladies have needs.

Daddy? - Yeah.

I wanna go to church.

What?

What?

Otto? You there?

Otto.

Otto!

Oh.

Sh*t.

Um... what was that

the other night?

Uh, last week.

That cursing,

that message you left?

What was that?

I had... I had just...

And I've just been so pleased

with how civil this has all been.

So maybe just don't...

do it again, okay?

Sh*t.

You know what,

maybe we can work something out?
