With all of us.

Maybe.

I should get to bed.

Good job today.

Thanks. Good night.

Good night.

Mothers will cry

And teardrops will fly

Little man, take care

it's grown

What you need

Do what you need

Hey. Hey.

You look like sh*t. You okay?

I hated her as much as anybody, okay?

But this is way f***ed up, you know?

Yeah. Morning!

Morning.

- What's up?

- This is f***ed up.

This is way f***ed up.

It is. It's totally f***ed up.

And hey, it's all my fault.

Yeah, no sh*t.

But look. After today, it's done.

Right? Right?

Right. Right! Done.

And I feel horrible. I mean,

look, I never wanted...

well, I wanted to, but...

he feels really bad.

You do?

I do. Yeah.

Me too.

I feel really bad.

I know you do.

Let's go cut her up.

Come on!

Hello?

Hey, we're in here, guys.

Good morning.

How was the night?

Slept till seven!

Pretty impressive. Wow! Wow.

Yeah.

Just finished

our first egg, and...

Where's Amanda?

Uh, she's with lily.

She didn't want to

bring her. You know.

She sends her love,

wishes us all the best.

Listen. We were

talking outside.

Umm... Yeah, I just...

this is really f***ed up,

man, you know? It's...

Really f***ed up!

It is. I mean...

- I killed your wife.

- I know.

And you guys have all been

great, and especially you, ward.

Thanks. No, thank you.

Oh, hey. Stacy and I

hooked up, and...

She got pregnant, but thank god.

Although I hate his name.

Ramone's the best thing

that's ever happened to me.

That name is awful.

It's like a busboy pimp.

Yeah, it's really bad.

But it's just a name.

At the end of the day,

it's just a name.

And... she was

a not-nice person

whose only happiness came

from her being not-nice.

She was a bad mom, too.

Yeah. She was selfish,

and she was mean.

I'm gonna be honest

with you guys. I'm...

I'm glad she's, uh...

I just want to be happy.

Power tools in the garage?

Ah!

Really? What, what, what?

I snapped a blade.

Right. I got another one

in the garage. Be right back.

You ready? Here we go.

Hey, man.

How's it goin' in there?

We snapped a blade,

but we're almost done.

How's it goin' here? It's good.

All right.

I haven't had a cigarette

in seven years.

I started again last week.

It's my first one. Ever?

I feel like Denzel Washington.

All right, okay, all right...

ah, that tastes so good.

Tastes so good.

You guys know what

that sh*t does to your body?

Ah, f*** it, give me one.

A**holes.

So Amanda and I were

talking last night.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Good for you guys.

Yeah.

Okay!

Tee time is 3:
00,

that gives us...

A little over two hours

to find a place,

bury the body,

get to the course.

Right? We don't tell

each other where we're going.

The less each of us knows, the better.

Geena's going to stay with the kids.

Thank you very much.

Ward, when you get home,

call the cops. Say that you came home

to find the baby, but Stacy was gone.

Say that she's been gone a day or two

before, but never without Ramone.

Can't file a missing persons

report for 48 hours. So.

You guys think

this is gonna work?

Yeah. They'll just... they'll just think

that she's left for a little bit.

She doesn't come back, you file it,

police won't make any mention of it.

Hey buddy, I can watch

Ramone whenever you need.

Yeah. Me-me too.

Appreciate it. Well, well, well.

Howdy, howdy.

Nosey f***er.

You guys are already

dressed for golf.

Interesting.

I thought we weren't leaving

till 3:
00.

Yeah, 3:
00. We just...

we came by to help clean up

after the party.

Oh, that's right.

Yeah, I saw that.

So I was thinking maybe, uh,

I'd grab my clubs,

throw 'em in your trunk, ward.

The two of us drive together.

Why take two cars?

That makes perfect sense, what

with you guys being neighbors.

That's what I was thinking.

Yeah. Sure.

Um, I got a couple errands I

need to run, but absolutely.

2:
30? 2:30. Yeah. Sure. 2:30.

All right. I'll be here.

See you there.

See you then. Okay.

From the tip! Yeah!

What the f***?

Don't worry about it.

All it means is you gotta double

back and pick him up. It's fine.

Listen to me.

Hey, you'll be fine.

Come here.

Let's do this.

You wanna f***? Yeah.

Yeah.

F***.

F***!

Stupid...

Piece of sh*t.

Mm, I like the new you.

All it took was a murder.

So where are you

gonna bury them?

Mm...

I was thinking along the ridge?

Mm, good idea.

Hey.

See you later. Yo.

Did you do yours yet?

Uh, almost. I, uh...

I just remembered.

Do you have the head?

What? The head. Do you

have the beast's head?

We forgot to disfigure it.

Ah, hold on.

No. I got a torso and an arm.

Uh, left arm.

Sh*t. All right. Damn it.

I gotta call Ronnie.

Get it done.

What?

Yo, do have the head? What?

The head. Do you have the head?

I don't f***ing know.

Well, check, all right?

We gotta disfigure the face

in case anybody finds it.

What? What's the problem?

Are you crying?

This isn't my responsibility,

David.

This is not my responsibility.

Okay, look, all right, Ronnie?

Nobody likes this, okay?

But there was a situation here. There was

an accident, kind of, but we can help.

We can help everybody out here.

We can help tom.

We can help ward.

We can help Ramone, all right?

Just check the bag.

Check the f***ing bag. Okay.

Okay, okay. Okay.

Please, please, David,

don't make me do this.

Look... Jesus f***ing Christ.

Check the f***ing bag.

All right. F***!

Oh!

F***.

Yeah, I have it.

Okay. All right. Well, you

got to, uh, you know.

What?

You gotta cut her face off

or something, man.

F*** you!

What do you mean?

You have to do this, Ronnie.

No. No, please!

You have to do this.

No f***ing way, man.

All right. Where are you?

God! F***!

I'm not supposed to say.

No. If you did what you were

supposed to do, then you don't say.

If I have to come finish your

f***ing job, then you have to say!

Now, where are you?

I'm at the ridge.

Great. I'm coming.

The ridge.

You're going under

what seems to be real

to a man or to me

no way. I thought for sure

I'd be the only one here.

This is crazy.

You okay? What happened?

I can't f***ing do this.

What are you talking about?

What am I talking about?

You killed her.

We cut her up

into little f***ing pieces.

What... what do you mean,

what am I talking about?

Yeah. Look, I know this sucks, right?

But we gotta do this.

We have to do this now, okay?

You know what? Look, it's all right.

I'll take yours.

You already dug a hole. I'll

just put her in and cover it up.

No, you can't. Yeah, I can.

No. It's... it's...

it's the head.

All right. Well,

whatever it is, I'll just...

David said you gotta cut the

f***ing face off or something.

Aw, sh*t. Right. Right.

Uh, okay, okay.

Um... okay.

You know what, man?

This is f***ing bullshit.

This is all my fault.

I shouldn't have called David

in the first place.

You should've taken it.

For all of us.

I didn't do this.

I didn't...

I-I didn't f***ing do this.

I have a kid, Ron.

She had a f***ing kid, tom!
