- Hello?

- Hi.

You don't know me,

I'm from Los Angeles.

I'm looking for Nicky.

No, there's no Nicky here.

Sorry.

Wait, wait, yeah.

He said that might be a nickname.

Do you know...

do you know this guy?

Ronnie, my brother.

OK. Could I maybe speak

with your mom or dad?

They're in Hawaii. Hold on.

Tom, someone's here

about Ronnie.

- Come on in.

- Thank you.

Do you want a Coke or something?

No. Thanks.

Tom is my other brother.

Hi.

- Hi.

- I'm Tom.

You're a friend of Ronnie's?

Yeah. I mean,

I don't... I don't know.

He told me his name

was... Nicky.

So...

- Yeah, he's...

- That's... that's him.

Oh. Yeah. He's...

he's not here.

- What did he do to you?

- Nothing. No, nothing.

We were partners

on a film project.

Yeah, we worked together

about six months ago.

Does he owe you money?

- He's an a**hole.

- Becca.

No, this is... it's not a big deal.

I was just...

I was in town

and I just thought I'd drop by.

It's OK.

Well, wait a second.

He called last week.

The number's on my cell phone

in the car.

- You want it?

- OK. Sure.

- OK.

- Thanks.

- Yeah. I'll be right back.

- OK.

- Do you want to sit down?

- No. Thanks.

Dad says Ronnie's a black sheep.

He's in New York now...

but he's supposed to be

in some art school.

But Tom doesn't believe it.

He burned down our house once.

Well, the garage.

It's where I had my bike.

OK, I got it.

He didn't even give this to me,

but it was...

That's all right. Never mind.

Wait a minute.

Don't you want his number?

- What happened?

- I don't know.

- Her purse.

- Sh*t.

Mamie?

Hey! You all right?

Mamie!

Hey! Hey.

What did you do to her?

Nothing. Her purse.

Hey!

Who the f*** are you?

A**hole.

Mamie, stop!

Mamie!

Mamie!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Do you have a cell phone?

- Yeah!

- Mamie.

Mamie.

Are you OK, Charley?

Yeah.

I have something for you.

It's in my purse.

It's right there.

You said you lost it.

No, I left it for the baby.

Something from you.

Did you name him?

No.

But I held him once.

I don't know why I didn't tell you.

So...

he knew who you were and...

he didn't want to find you?

That's what Nicky said.

Ronnie.

Well, when he's smarter,

he'll want to find you.

Maybe he's smart now.

No.

It's better to know you

than to not know you.

That's how I've always felt.

It's OK.

I run with scissors, too.

Does this do color?

Jump real good? OK.

Don't go changing

To try to please me

You never let me down before

Don't imagine

You're too familiar

And I don't see you anymore

I would not leave you

In times of trouble

We never could have

come this far

I took the good times

I'll take the bad times

I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying

Some new fashion

Don't change the color

of your hair

You always have my

Unspoken passion

Though I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation

I don't want to work that hard

I just want someone

That I can talk to

I want you just the way you are

I need to know

that you will always be

The same old someone that I knew

What will it take

till you believe in me

The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you

And that's forever

This I promise from my heart

I could not love you

Any better

I love you just the way you are

Are

You are
