IRV:
Donna"s beenI"m really sorry, Esper.
He was a good old boy.
And I think if you"d asked him,
that we were friends.
- What kind of friends?.
- Good ones. I mean that.
Now, he left you
a $200,000 policy.
Pardon?.
Part of it"s from working
at the plant,
and an option that I put
together for him just for you.
And he"s paid up in the full.
Frankly, there are
some questions
as to the manner
in which he died.
I don"t understand.
Was he on any medication at all?.
- I wasn"t his caretaker.
- Uh-huh.
Gosh, you know,
he"s only retired 10 minutes.
He had the RV parked
in the driveway.
He worked in a factory
all his life.
He wanted to go out to the coast
and see the ocean.
- Which one?.
- Not sure.
East, I think.
I"ve always preferred the West.
It"s a lot cleaner
than the East.
I think the only place dirtier
than the East Coast is Mexico.
We"re gonna have to send, uh,
some lab tests up to Des Moines.
What kind of tests?.
Urine.
Now, the only way
that money becomes available...
...is if he was clean.
What about my mom?.
Oh, your mom"s a beneficiary
if you"re not around.
But he wanted you to have that.
Does she know about it?.
Listen, Irv.
That money
sure would come in handy.
Save me a lot of trouble.
out of here, you know?.
Start someplace else.
I don"t like to talk
about family in the office.
Okay.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I don"t know what it is
with kids today,
but I think too much money
can go to their heads.
We gonna say grace?.
- Amen.
- Amen.
So...
you talk to Esper?.
Just yesterday.
What"s the big dealio?.
I don"t know.
Nothing special.
You have something
you want to tell me?.
Not that I can think of.
I thought you wanted
to tell me something.
No.
You"re not pregnant, are you?.
Sorry
Just...
No, Daddy, I"m not.
- Why would you say that?.
- I don"t know.
Somebody seems to think
Pardon?.
You know, it broke my heart
when I heard him say it.
I don"t know what I"m gonna do
about that guy.
You"ve been saying that
for three years.
I finished pressing your shirts
before I came.
Thanks, sweetie.
Sweetie, when your mom moved on
to another world,
I was never
quite the same again.
Please...
Don"t move too far away.
Hi.
What"s your name?.
I already got an old man.
But, uh, I guess
I could tell you my name.
- It"s Donna.
- Donna?.
- Donna.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, Donna.
You want to go take a ride
with a stranger?.
My dad told me to be careful of
boys that drive fast El Caminos
and look like... Bruce Willis.
Bruce Willis?.
You ever heard of Bruce Willis
committing any crimes, huh?.
Hell, he"s a certified hero.
I guess you"re right.
I"ll take a ride with you, then.
I never been in here.
This was his place
away from Mom.
Better to get it over with.
Something smells like cat piss.
got in here?.
- What?.
- Put that cigarette out.
What is it?.
Crank.
You think it"s the real McCoy?.
Well, it ain"t fake.
No wonder
he kept this place locked.
Esper, are you crazy?.
Yeah.
Bitter.
It"s not that bad.
You feel anything?.
A little.
Got to snort it.
Should we?.
Well, we"re free, white, and 21,
ain"t we?.
...another nonstop half-hour.
right now?.
Yeah.
Like God
is whispering in my ear.
I love this gun.
Can we drive to Egypt?.
I wake up every day
and wish we could.
At least New York.
That way we don"t have to
cross an ocean.
Too many of them terrorists.
Princess?.
Yeah?.
Thanks.
For what?.
Not laughing at me
no matter what I say.
You are funny, though.
I know.
You love me a lot, huh?.
if it was a picture of you.
And the workers
fell to their knees
for they had witnessed a miracle
right here
in our own little town.
That"s amazing.
Marriage is
this kind of miracle.
There"s something
about you, Donna.
Hmm?.
You haven"t been here a lot.
No.
But I"m not an antithesis.
It"s atheist, honey.
Sorry.
I meant atheist.
Have you even been baptized?.
I don"t know.
Not a raindrop in sight.
Would you baptize me?.
Do you accept God,
Our Lord and Savior,
as your salvation,
and do you believe in miracles?.
I do.
And I believe in miracles.
Then I baptize you,
Donna Huffman,
for you have accepted God.
Don"t - Don"t you have to
throw water on her?.
Water is not necessary.
How about you, son?.
on a person"s bladder?.
Irv says it"s a part of
the policy he made Dad sign.
And why did that prick Leo
leave all that money
in your name and not mine, huh?.
I was married to him
for 20 years.
I plan on covering
all of Dad"s debt
and then sharing it with you.
Donna and I got engaged.
You think you"re pimp rich now?.
Did I say something wrong?.
Eat your supper.
You expecting someone?.
Relax.
I"ll get it.
Evening, son.
I"m with
the Department of Corrections.
I"m your dad"s
probation officer.
Probation officer?.
For what?.
Meth task force.
You ain"t gonna bust
anybody here.
My dad"s dead.
What the hell is that?.
Is he dead?.
I don"t think so.
Hmph!
You"re under arrest.
Anything you say
can and will be used against you
in a court of law.
I"ll be a son of a b*tch.
We don"t even have to do
anything illegal here.
Where you gonna take him?.
To hell.
It"s done.
What"s that?.
You know I don"t drink,
lovergirl.
Sorry.
Get in me.
In a minute.
In a minute.
Don"t you like what you see?.
I want you
to listen to me, okay?.
I want you to wait
at least a week or so
until after Esper"s funeral
about the policy.
Do you understand me?.
I"ll be fine.
And I don"t want you getting
all slut-headed on me
when you see your son
in a pine box.
I"ll do anything you want.
I love you so f***ing much.
Understandably so.
Because...
"Cause I...
I caress...
...like an angel.
Ah!
And I f*** like the devil.
Oh! Oh, yeah.
Take me, Don Juan.
- You like that, don"t you?.
- Yeah!
- LARRY:
Is this Donna?.- DONNA:
Yes, it is.Well, hi, Donna.
Uh, this is Larry Clarkson.
Who?.
I"m with the
Corrections Department in town.
- Mm-hmm.
- What do you want from me?.
Well, I need you to come down
to my office...
...to figure out what to do
about your boyfriend.
- Esper?.
- Esper. Yes, that"s right.
Is he all right?.
Well, I arrested him
just yesterday evening.
- I haven"t seen him.
- Uh-huh.
Well, that would explain
why you haven"t seen him.
Well, I figure if you come down
to my office,
some way to bail him out.
Okay.
Uh, where you at?.
I"m on Sixth Street.
Okay.
I"m on my way.
I"ll see you then.
Hello?.
Can I help you?.
Donna?.
Is that you?.
How did this happen?.
You promise, cross your heart
in front of God,
you won"t say anything
