Greener Mountains Page #4

Watch.

Oh.

But... aww.

( laughs )

Where's the shower cam?

It's been awhile since

I've seen myself a naked man.

I haven't seen

a wrinkle-free naked man since

the Johnson administration.

A lot of restless people in my family.

My mother was restless,

my brother, my husband,

all got the hell out of here.

I guess I've always

prepared myself to live alone.

Well...

Well, what?

You gonna get your butt out of here

or do I have to drive you

down to New York myself?

You sure you're all right up here?

If you're not off

the premises in 30 seconds,

I'm calling the cops.

30...

29!

All right.

Wish me luck.

Luck!

- Whoo-hoo! How you doing, Francis?

- Hey, J.P.

Hey, J.

I thought you'd be gone by now.

What are you doing here?

I've been so bored with my job,

really for longer than

I care to think about.

So I quit.

I heard you were leaving, so, uh,

I figured I'd jump at the chance.

I'm gonna take over for you for a while.

This way there's someone

to look after M,

keep an eye on the books,

you know, make sure things

are running okay.

You have no idea how much

I needed a change like this.

Well, good luck in New York.

Let me know

if there's anything I can do.

Okay?

( ignition cranks )

( cranks )

Sh*t!

I'll have to have Muggs

take a look at this

piece of junk as soon as he gets back

from St. Albans.

Since I'm stuck here,

maybe we can...

maybe we can grab lunch later.

I don't know.

Definitely, we'd love to.

He's fine.

You know, the same.

He actually talked about

coming up here later this Summer.

( laughs )

I'll believe it when it happens.

( laughs ) Oh dear.

This place was never much

your father's type of place.

It's funny.

He always talks about

how much he loved growing up here.

That's only because he got out.

Oh, you'll find out

that everything looks much better

in hindsight, everything.

I can look back on

your grandfather's funeral

with nostalgia.

But then again, he was

a cheating bird-dogger.

That's not much of a surprise.

Well, I love it here.

And I'm going to raise you

two peanuts.

Huh.

I fold.

- Got you again, Grammy.

- Not bad.

But I'm gonna find it.

Yeah? Find what?

Your tell.

Everyone has one.

Particularly men.

Oh, they're the worst bluffers

because they enjoy it so much.

( bell rings )

( huffs )

Randall, don't worry.

It's just for a little...

don't talk.

- Like two more...

- don't talk!

Hey.

Can we talk?

I'm playing the piano.

Oh, yeah.

Didn't notice that.

So New York mail's

running a little slow down there, huh?

Uh-huh.

You shouldn't be with him.

He's so unbelievably wrong for you.

Okay, I'm sorry.

It's none of my business.

He's such an a**hole though!

Is that why you pimped me out to him?

What?

Did you he tell you that?

My God, the guy's a freaking sociopath!

Oh, after he got you into NYU?

Nice work.

You're the a**hole.

Len:
Uh, it's getting late.

We should let you have some rest.

M:
No, you should let me

have some scotch.

I'll be getting all the rest

I need soon enough.

- Now don't say that.

- Oh please.

As my legal counsel, I order you

to sit your ass back down

and play some cards, Lenny.

And watch this one.

I think he's palming the deck.

Hey, Sundance, you in or what?

Good, double ante.

This is the guy

who looks after my books.

Hey, Len, is it too late

for me to write him out of my will?

I already told you.

I don't want anything.

Oh, sure you do.

You just don't know it yet.

Look, I don't want it, okay.

I don't want to...

I don't want to live

your life over again,

all right?!

So?

Awful nice of you

helping J.P. Out like this.

He's a really good kid.

I like him.

I like him a lot.

Did you...

did you figure out what's wrong with it?

Yeah, I think so,

but unfortunately

it's gonna take a couple days

to get the parts I need.

Can't you just jury-rig it?

I'm sorry, sorry.

It's the best I can do.

J.P., you're still here!

That's great.

Let me just sign you guys in.

Thank you. We usually

get the oak tree cabin.

You'll have to wait.

Walter, why don't you take number 12?

This is good.

Thank you.

Eric:
Tomorrow we'll

head out across the lake.

You know, I saw the sketches

you did of the oak this morning,

you're really amazing.

You know, there's just something

magical about this place.

I could paint it forever.

Well, you won't have to

if I set you up at the right gallery.

I mean, you could make

a fortune off those sketches.

I'm good.

I know how much you love it here.

That's... that's why I brought you.

That's why I called you after so long.

You know, I think I'm going

to take a walk around the lake

before it gets too dark.

Okay.

I'll go with you.

Oh, thank you.

I just...

I'd rather be alone tonight.

Eric:
Kinda wanted

to get up early as well.

Alice:
Yeah, me too.

I just love waking up to a sunrise.

It's amazing how similar we are.

It's always been

one of my favorite things.

- Eric:
Hey, J.

- Hei ya.

Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

- Sure.

- Over here.

I want to talk in private.

Why'd you lie to Alice?

Come again?

You told her I set you two up.

- You didn't?

- You know I didn't.

Set us up, didn't set us up,

you know, it was so long ago,

I hardly remember.

You're a real a**hole, you know that?

What do you want from me?

Huh? I mean, what is it

that you want, j?

And why are you still here?

Look, don't take

your frustrations out on me.

All right.

Even if I hadn't told her you set us up,

who do you think she would

have ended up with, huh?

No hard feelings, okay.

What do you think Alice would say

if I told her you

lied to her that night?

Go ahead. Tell her.

Tell her anything you want.

It's your word against mine,

but right now, Jimmy,

yours really doesn't stack up that well.

I guess she'll just have

to take your word for it,

won't she?

( door opens )

Uh, excuse me, what

do you think you're doing?

Excuse me!

Hello! What are you...

you got to see this.

I'm not gonna deal with your crap!

No, Alice, come here.

No, come here.

Let go of me.

Stop!

Let go of me, what is your problem?!

- Alice, just sit down...

- I swear,

if you don't let go of me,

I'm gonna kick you so bad!

Sit down and watch this, please.

- Gosh!

- No.

Aah!

Get off of me!

Alice.

Oww! Damn it, Alice!

Just watch this.

Watch!

What?!

Watch. This stupid...

- watch what?!

- Ah, here it comes.

Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

- Sure.

- Over here.

I want to talk in private.

What?! You've got to be kidding me?!

- Get off me.

- Stupid!

That is you!

God, grow up.

Damn it!

( door opens )

What's wrong?

Is something wrong?

She's resting.

I just came by

to see how she was doing.

Roxanal.

This is morphine.

It's low dosage

for her pain.

She has been suffering a lot.

This is what you're giving her?

It'll make her feel better.

What do you have

that'll make her better?

Look, Jimmy, if I could do more,

I'd do more.

Come on, J.

Vick would never do anything to hurt M.
