Hey, she wasn't

doing the right things.

That kid would be a lot

further along developmentally

if she had been a better mother.

All right. You don't understand this

because you don't have a kid yet.

But Ramone is almost one,

and he's barely crawling.

What? Yeah.

She was still breast-feeding.

Exclusively, Ronnie.

It's a huge thing.

What does that even mean?

It means she was a shitty

mom, not to mention

the kind of wife she

was, all right?

You said it yourself,

probably more than anyone.

But you don't do that

to somebody, tom.

You don't f***ing kill somebody

because they're a f***ing b*tch.

I mean, that doesn't make

any f***ing sense.

F***.

Is that why you killed her?

'Cause she's a b*tch?

No, I didn't...

I didn't kill her because...

That's not it. No.

Really? You're both here?

Why'd you kill her?

Who gives a sh*t

why you killed her?

Everybody wanted her dead.

Ward most of all.

What's f***ing done

is f***ing done.

This it? Yeah.

All right.

Oh, here we go.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait for what, dude?

We got a 3:
00 tee time.

I gotta tell the

starter that we're gonna

play as a five-some.

I know. What...

No f***ing way, man.

I am not f***ing doing this!

No, no.

We don't have time for this sh*t.

No, he's doing it.

No, just give me the club

and let me beat the bag.

No. I killed her.

You cut her up. You came up with the plan.

He hasn't done anything.

Are you crazy?

I cleaned up blood and f***ing cake

for three f***ing hours last night!

I'm as much of an accomplice

in this as he is.

He's right, man.

You gotta do it, Ronnie.

I don't know if I can trust you

to keep your mouth shut.

I got a family, Ron. Me too.

We've been friends for 20 years.

You really think that I'm...

Wow.

Fine. Give it to me. Mm-hmm.

You might wanna turn it over

so you get the...

he knows how to hit a 7 iron.

F***!

Oh, no. You gotta...

you gotta hit the bag.

Come on. You can do it.

Okay?

Again, dude. We really

gotta f*** her face up.

Ohh! Oh, god.

I think it got caught

in her mouth.

Just pull it out

and do it again.

That's good, Ronnie.

Yeah, that's good. You got it.

Ronnie! Ronnie, whoa!

Aahh! You're good.

Ronnie, you got it.

Ronnie? No! F***!

Oh, that's good.

You owe me.

I owe you.

That was dramatic.

Yeah. All right. Let's bury

the rest of this sh*t.

Yeah. I'll go get

the bags from my car.

You know what?

Give me a couple gloves.

I don't have any gloves.

Golf gloves.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey.

Not a word, you hear me?

Not a word.

We got a real problem

here, ward.

This is not smart, ward.

You are all over this.

Do you understand me?

Aah!

Aah!

Look, I get it, right?

You had a party.

Your trash was overflowing.

Right? The trash trucks

don't come for three days.

I get that. But, hey, if

somebody wants to look in here,

your name is all over this.

Is that smart?

It's against the law, ward.

Aw, ward, if you need to use

some cans, you can use my cans.

You and your kinky friends.

Lesson learned, huh?

Huh?

Lesson learned.

All right. That's good cake.

Oh, yeah. That was...

Money. Yeah.

I'm gonna take a leak.

Hey, ward. Huh?

Come here.

The f***er followed me!

He followed me! I know, I know, I know.

I saw him.

He pulled the bags... it's okay.

It's okay. Relax. Relax.

He was watching us last night

when we left your house.

I think he's a pervert.

I thought he might...

I don't know. But I got to

your place early this morning,

and just in case, I took a

couple of bags from your trash.

I switched them out.

I put them in your trunk.

I figured if he tried something,

if he followed one of us,

it'd most likely be you.

Where's your phone? It's in the cart.

I'll go get it.

D-d-d-d... that's perfect.

Hey, it's me. Yeah. Thanks.

Hey. I'll see you later.

Who the hell was that?

That's Stacy's ringer.

Ward! Your phone's ringing!

It's your wife!

Tell him to answer it.

Uh, could you answer that for me?

I'll be right out!

Good.

Much better.

I told her you'd be right out.

She hung up on me.

Really? Yeah.

She sounded pissed too.

Ah, you got your hands full

with that one.

I snapped a blade.

There you go.

Thanks for doing this.

Mommy!

You ready to go eat?

My ball's back there.

Sorry.

Ron hasn't said

one word all day.

He'll be fine. He'll be great.

Take a little time. Yeah.

Nice.

That's tour quality.

Second best 7 iron

he's hit all day.

Wow.

- Come on.

- Still hitting!

Great shot, buddy. Great shot.

Thanks for waiting. Mm-hmm.

I don't think I'm gonna

play from my tips next time.

When did you, uh,

speak to her last?

Um, earlier today.

I think I was actually probably the

last person to speak with her.

I picked up his phone when we were

on the golf course earlier today.

Uh, a little after 3:00.

So you spoke to her

this afternoon?

I did.

Time can pass

like a stranger

if you don't stop and see

ohh!

Ohh!

I want a cigarette.

Me too.

I'll go get 'em.

Ohh.

There are changes

you can make

you look f***ing great.

Ohh...

Okay, just keep

your shoulders...

move your shoulders back.

Hit is straight. Go.

Hit it. Hit it. Hard. Go.

Yeah!

Yeah! That was awesome.

See? Wait.

Give me five. Give me ten.

You're not gonna

give me a lesson?

Sure.

Yeah.

You need to keep

your body still.

Yeah.

You guys! Mom, just hit.

Okay, okay. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Just hit, just hit.

Yes! Did you see that?

No, we missed it. I did it.

I don't believe you.

You came up with forgiveness

it's getting in the way

where there's luck

there is danger

don't be afraid to say

I hope there's

somebody out there

there you go.

Thank you.

But even if

it takes us a long time

I'm gonna wait

for something that's real

miss peters?

This is who I wanna be

hi.

May I? Please.

Thank you.

How I feel

I hope there's

somebody out there

who understands

the way that I feel

and even if

it takes us a long time

I'm gonna wait

for something that's real

now I see

this is who I wanna be

I know there's

somebody out there

who understands

the way that I feel

and even if

it takes us a long time

I'm gonna wait

for something that's real

below a ways

I'm passing time

days pass quick and

cows tow the line and

see how clear

the ocean appears

from this point of view

the same should be true

in the light

if you peek through the veil

see that you're only

biding your time

between struggling

and fine in a moment

you are only

watershed

the sunlight breaks through

time's a cruel mistress

and she's not done with you

try as you might

or fight as you may

the fates will just laugh

moving in as they say

with a grin

once again

if you peek through the veil

see that you're only
