In the Bedroom Page #3

education like you, and...?

If it's so great, why do you

sneak out every day to come here?

I like spending time with my son.

I don't know, Dad.

It's just... I don't know.

She's a wonderful girl.

And that's what I see.

Frank! How long will

you be parked here?

I'd like to unload.

- Give me a hand?

- Yeah, sure.

You can't hypnotize

the cards into changing, Matt.

Christ! Bet, or Carl'll start.

"The beggar's dog

and the widow's cat...

Feed them and thou wilt grow fat.

The gnat sings his summer's song,

poison gets from slander's tongue.

The poison of the snake and newt

is the sweat of envy's foot.

The poison of the honey bee

is the artist's jealousy. "

All right, Carl. Two bucks.

I tell you, man, you gotta

get out of this Blake thing.

- You're in a rut.

- Don't get him started.

Whenever I do my own stuff,

you guys b*tch and moan.

- That's not true.

- We love your stuff. It's great.

- Carl?

- I'm in.

Everybody in? Frankie, you in?

Guess I'm the winner.

Always the quiet ones.

Deal.

Come on. Come on.

Don't mind me.

Your father's snoring.

Eat. You must be hungry.

I'm not hungry.

Coffee?

So you talked to her?

And? How is she?

She's great.

Frank, I just want

to tell you that we...

That I liked her.

Do like her.

She's a wonderful girl.

Ma, you're not gonna have

this conversation with me...

right now, are you?

- Good night.

- Good night.

Okay.

All right. No, that's fine, sir,

I'll send right away.

Okay. I'm very excited. I'm...

It's a beautiful campus

and I'm preparing already.

Yes, Thank you, thank you, sir.

Yes, well, compared

to your models...

It doesn't compare

to your models, but...

I am. I'm aware

of the Lautner house.

Yeah. Excuse me, sir,

can you hold on one second?

Jase?

Jase, what is it?

Okay, Jason, stay put.

I'll be right there. Stay put.

He just... he just pushed me.

- He didn't hit me.

- He didn't hit you?

Great. We should throw a party

for him. He didn't hit you.

- We're calling the police.

- No, wait, wait!

- We're calling the police.

- No, I don't...

I don't know what I want to do.

I hate this.

I hate the kids seeing this.

- I don't know what to do!

- Listen.

It's okay, it's okay.

I'm here now. I'm here now.

It's all right.

I'm not going anywhere.

Okay.

It's all right.

Mom!

- Go upstairs with the kids.

- No. Frank...

I'm not letting him in the house!

Go upstairs!

It's better if he doesn't see you.

Go upstairs!

Don't let him in. Don't let him in.

- Go.

- Frank, don't let him in.

Open the door!

Frank?

Frank, buddy. You in there?

Sorry about what happened.

All right?

I apologize. I'm sorry about

what happened. Now open the door.

- Richard, leave.

- Open up.

- Leave now! I'm not letting you in.

- Open the door!

She left! And I'm calling

the police if you don't leave.

Just go.

All right. All right.

Get out, motherf***er!

Read him a story,

I'll be right back.

- I don't want to stay here!

- You have to.

You have to stay here! Look at me!

You're staying here, okay?

Read him a story.

Where is she?

You're f***ing lying!

Where is she? Natalie!

Put that away!

Put that away!

Mommy!

There's a Mrs. Strout on line two.

She says it's very important.

Natalie?

Great.

"Your fear of death is but the

trembling of the shepherd...

when he stands before the king...

whose hand is to be laid

upon him in honor.

Is the shepherd not joyful

beneath his trembling...

that he should wear

the mark of the king?

Yet is he not more mindful

of his trembling?

For what is it to die

but to stand naked in the wind...

and to melt into the sun?

And what is it to cease breathing...

but to free the breath

from its restless tides...

that it may rise and expand

and see God unencumbered?

Only when you drink from the river

of silence shall you indeed sing.

And when you have reached

the mountaintop...

then you shall begin to climb.

And when the earth shall

claim your limbs...

then shall you truly dance. "

Can I get you anything?

- Where's Ruth?

- She went to lie down, Matt.

Excuse me.

My next guest is a very talented man

who'll perform live this month...

at the Montreal Comedy Festival,

"Just For Laughs".

Please welcome Anthony Clark!

Some more?

- How we doing?

- So nice! Waw!

- They're good people.

- They're all-yare.

Some of them were packing,

but we've cleared that up.

- That's good.

- So, what's been on?

Actually I've been out with Ricky

Martin "Living the Vida Loca".

When you hang out with Ricky

people speak Spanish to you...

and I think that's cool after three

years of Spanish in high school...

Matt, I'm gonna go to lunch.

Can I get you anything?

No, I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Okay.

Don't worry. I didn't make them.

- I wanted cheese.

- What? Oh! That's mine.

Sorry.

You got back to work so quick.

It's no too soon?

I can't stay home.

- So, how's business?

- You know. Same old crap.

Got held up again. You know that.

- No, I didn't.

- Yeah. They got 75 bucks.

Were you on the till?

They'd have gotten something else

if I'd been on the till.

So how you doing? You don't

write or call. Where'd the love go?

Nag, nag, nag.

They set the bail hearing yet?

- Sometime in the next few days.

- Are you going?

I don't know.

Davis says it's a formality,

really.

I haven't talked with Ruth about

whether or not we ought to go.

If it's too much for Ruth,

I'll come with you.

Thanks. It'll be all right.

Davis says it's a formality.

The criminal trial set yet?

- October.

- October?

- That's what they tell me.

- Christ, they take their time.

- He's in there now.

- They're keeping him busy, I'm sure.

You know where they'll move him

once he's sentenced?

You got any tabasco?

Anita! Tabasco!

Sh*t!

Next weekend we really want

you to come up to the camp.

Katie's insisting. Not to pressure

you, but if you don't come...

she'll invite her sister

and that idiot, and...

I'll wind up insulting him again.

The future of my family

is in your hands.

Let me ask Ruth.

- How was your day?

- Fine.

I had lunch with Willis.

- It was really great to see him.

- My day was fine too, thanks.

Sorry, did you say something?

Katie and Willis invited us

up to the camp for the weekend.

I said I'd check with you, in case

we were doing something else.

That sounds fine.

We don't have to go.

You don't want to?

Yeah, I want to.

Then tell them yes.

I thought you might be

busy getting the girls ready.

Al right. The next matter is the

state of Maine vs. Richard Strout.

The record should reflect

the defendant was...

incarcerated in Knox County

Jail without bail since...

the 17th of July.

We're here for a bail hearing.

Mr. Davis, given the fact we have

a very crowded trial calendar...

I suggest we do both bail hearing

and probable cause hearing today...

at 2:
OO. So unless I hear

any objection on the contrary...

I'd like to set it for 2:OO...

and we will take testimony

of your witness at that time.
