Home Sweet Hell Page #3
Throttle?
I don't know, Don.
You should own up...
...or be b*tch-slapped by a slut
in front of your kids.
Are you happy?
Very happy. You?
Yeah. Totally. Do you love me?
Of course.
I love you too.
- What's wrong?
- What did you do?
- Well, I... I need you to forgive me.
If you can.
What did you do?
Is this about money?
No! Well...
Then what is it?
Well, it's not easy to... It's the
kind of thing that is difficult to...
- Tell me.
- Well, I feel like I...
Spit it out, Don!
I've been having an affair
at the store with Dusty, the salesgirl!
And she's pregnant.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I am really, really sorry.
Now, Mona, can we talk...?
Hello?
Mona. I shouldn't have...
Can we talk about this?
I mean,
I think we need to be constructive...
...and I know
what I've done is really stupid...
...and I know it hurts you a lot.
I can see that. I can see...
I love you so much.
- Is she aborting it?
- What?
Is she aborting it?
No.
Who else did you tell about this?
Nobody.
Don't lie to me.
I'm not. I swear to you, I'm not.
No one else knows,
and she won't abort it. Are you sure?
Yes, I am very sure.
Do you want a divorce?
No.
Never.
I...
I love you so much.
And I love our beautiful kids.
And our life.
Our goals?
Yes.
And you're committed
to achieving our goals?
Yes, I am.
It's what all those greedy,
anti-nuclear-family types want.
Guess there's only one thing to do.
I will do whatever you want, honey...
...because I am so sorry,
and I love you so much.
I can do anything that you need me to
to keep this...
...marriage and set of goals alive.
You have to kill her.
You're joking, right?
Does it look like I'm f***ing joking?
No.
Good.
- We can't just kill someone.
- We won't. You will.
I can't...
You have to. I will not have my husband
father a bastard!
I will not put my children through that!
I will not put myself through that.
What would the community think?
We'd be the laughingstock
of this entire city.
I can't just shoot someone like an animal.
I can't.
I can't. I can't, I'm sorry.
I should've taken it,
but the more I think about it...
...I don't think he has more.
Oh, he does.
Beautiful house, beautiful wife...
...nice car, private school.
He's got a lot more.
I believe him.
You believe him? Well, that's hilarious.
I feel like you guys got
some sort of special bond or something.
- You know, I used to have a special bond.
- I think it's his wife's money.
You think?
- Oh, babe.
- I didn't mean...
Listen, don't think ever.
Thinking had you sucking cops off
for crack, right?
He f***ed you in every orifice...
...and I want more than 13 grand for that.
You understand me?
- Baby...
- What?
I just feel like we're disconnected.
Okay? I feel like you're not as focused
as you should be.
- I know what I'm doing.
- You said that last time, right?
And Uncle Murphy had to come along
and save your sweet life, didn't I?
Not this time, darling.
Not with that pretty boy.
Not with all the money
that I've had to put into...
Into your fancy clothes and your
make-up, so you could fit into this...
..."Champagne Society."
Hey. You don't take care of him...
I will. You get me?
I understand.
Hey! You get me?
I get you.
Do you f***ing get me!
I don't want to hear "can't," Don!
"Can't" is not gonna work!
That's not gonna work!
This is your fault!
Now, get it done
and do what it takes to make it right!
After everything I've done!
Everything my parents have done!
All the money!
All the opportunities we've given you!
You would be nowhere!
Nowhere without me!
Nowhere without this family!
Do something, Don!
Be a man for once in your life!
And just take responsibility
for the things that you destroy!
What am I gonna tell my parents
about this?
What am I gonna tell my parents?
What do I do?
Just put it on speakerphone,
for God's sakes!
- Hello?
- Hey.
Dusty...?
I need that money.
But it has to be
more than 13,000.
Okay. How much?
Twenty-five.
- Twenty-five!
- Get 25, or my next call is to Mona.
Do you hear me?
Yes. I...
Twenty-five is fine.
I just want to make it right.
Okay, tomorrow night,
the furniture store, eight o'clock.
You were gonna let that whore
extort money from us?
I deserve better than this, Don.
- Your children deserve better than this.
- I know.
And what are you gonna do about it?
What are you gonna do about it?
That should be enough
to fell a small village.
Why so much?
Well, you never know about dosage.
Sometimes the weather...
...can make the body
absorb the drug differently.
I saw it on an episode of First 48.
You're so calm.
Why is this so easy for you?
Do not get weak, Don!
This tramp
is trying to tear apart our family.
- How dare you not try to fight for that.
- That's not what I meant.
This is about our legacy.
Are you sure there's no other way?
There is only ever my way.
Now,
I need to pick up the children...
...and drop them at the Buckleys'
for their sleepover.
Love you.
Come on in and have a seat.
- I'm not here to talk.
- Just go ahead. Sit down.
- Don't make this any more difficult...
- Just right here, please, sit!
Okay? I've got a lot of the anxiety.
I came through for you. I got your money.
Just give me a few minutes. That's all.
You don't look so good.
I'm being blackmailed.
How am I supposed to look?
- I didn't want it to come to this.
- I know. I hear you.
- Oh, God, I'm just so sick of all this...
- The money, Don.
Okay.
Pretty soon you'll forget I even existed.
I don't think so.
You know...
I'll never forget what we had,
and the way that you made me feel.
Then why would you act like that?
Why would you treat me like trash...
...like something
you just throw out on the street?
Because I'm a f***ing coward!
Well, that's typical, I guess.
Come on, Don. Just give me the money...
...so I can get out of here
and forget this ever happened.
- Let's at least have a proper send-off.
- I'm not having sex with you.
That's not what I meant.
A toast.
That's what you want, one last toast?
What could we possibly drink to?
I don't know.
To...
To wives and sweethearts.
May they never meet.
That's appropriate.
What did you see in me?
I'm a married furniture salesman.
I really liked you, Don Champagne.
And I hope you find
all the happiness in the world.
Don't worry.
Good things happen to good people,
and you are a good person.
You'll be all right.
Now, come on. I need the money.
I'm so sorry.
About what? Which part, Don?
About all this.
All what?
I don't know how long this is taking.
Why are you being so weird, Don?
What is wrong with you?
I don't have it!
You don't have the money?
No, I honestly do not have the money.
I thought I did, and I don't.
I didn't even bring it.
I don't have any of the money.
Do you at least have the 13,000?
