Have more.

(sighs)

I just got arrested.

Do you like

my straight hair?

I do, I really do.

I think it looks pretty

up like that too.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

It's funny,

do you ever...

wonder what things

you might inherit?

I mean, you're Mom's kid

and everything

but you've got

different genes.

You could inherit

all kinds of things

that would make you

so different from us.

No, I mean better.

Like your dad, he could be

a genius or something.

Your mom...

who knows what your mom was?

My mom

was a crack addict.

True.

But I'm sure she was

a lot of other things too.

Some of them

must be good.

Maybe she was

a good swimmer.

Yeah, exactly.

All right,

I better call a cab.

Maddy.

Maddy, come on.

I'm gonna take you

to Grandma's house, okay?

Come on, big girl.

Whoa!

Michelle:
Let's try not

to wake up Daddy.

Elizabeth:
Hey!

Dr. Crane.

Dr. Crane.

Nurse:
Jane.

Can you

see me all right?

Yes, I can see you.

- Dr. Crane.

- How do you feel?

Better.

You know you've been sleeping

for quite some time.

What?

Who's the president

of our country?

Dr. Crane.

Dr. Crane isn't here.

He'll be happy

to see you're feeling better.

Where is he?

I'm sure he's at home.

With his wife?

I imagine so.

A**hole.

(phone ringing)

(phone continues ringing)

- Hello.

- Elizabeth, it's Kevin.

(yawning)

Who?

Kevin McCabe.

Oh, God.

Hi.

How did you

get this number?

From your agent.

Not without a fight, though.

So what are you doing?

Sleeping.

Alone?

Of course, alone.

You're talking funny.

I had an accident.

What's up?

You left

your black camisole here.

I don't have

a black camisole.

Oh.

Never mind, Elizabeth.

I like you.

I want to sleep with you again.

Thanks.

(giggles)

So what do you say?

How about we get together

this weekend?

I don't think

I can do it this weekend.

It's because of what

you made me do, isn't it?

I knew it was a trick.

It's what I said about your teeth.

(phone beeps)

Kevin, I'm getting another call.

I gotta go.

Well, all right.

- Elizabeth:
Thanks for calling.

- You're welcome.

Hello.

Yes.

He's paranoid.

He's so convinced

the tiger's gonna eat him

that he can't stop

running around.

If he'd stay still, the tiger

wouldn't know he was there.

- It's pathetic.

- Yeah.

We can go get Mom.

This is Annie.

She was six here.

It was about a year

after she came to me.

She's adorable.

She's gonna be

a heartbreaker...

or an arm-breaker.

God, she loved that jacket.

It's so dirty.

You know,

I have a 10-year-old.

She won't even

let me shop for her.

These are

my two older girls.

This was taken

when we went to the beach.

That was a great day,

more or less.

What's she doing in there?

Checkout time is noon.

Annie!

Michelle:
Annie.

# You worry on #

# Hurting anybody anymore #

# You worry on #

# Small comfort #

# One of us

seems not to tremble #

# You make a rift

inside me #

# Every day #

# And did he

choose to stay? #

# I walked the ocean #

# Pushing white earth #

# You are forgiven #

# I open all my doors #

# You are forgiven #

# What a heart is for #

# I am no martyr #

# You give me reason #

# I try harder #

# And wait

for a warmer season #

# Meanwhile #

# You are forgiven #

# I hear a soft noise #

# Like a sigh #

# A singing

like a lullaby #

# It is my heart #

# It is its will #

# That blows through #

# Where you

held me closer #

# Where we whispered #

# This is #

# This is true #

# You are forgiven #

# I open

all my doors #

# You are forgiven #

# What a heart is for #

# I am no martyr

but you give me reason #

# I try harder #

# And wait

for a warmer season #

# And meanwhile #

# You are forgiven #

# I open all my doors #

# You are forgiven #

# What a heart is for #

# I am no martyr,

you give me reason #

# I try harder #

# And wait

for a warmer season #

# And meanwhile #

# You are forgiven #

# You are #

# Forgiven. #
