You seem so... Withdrawn.

Like you're not there.

I'm not.

Look. I... I know

you're angry and hurt.

Don't leave this

all up to me, please.

You left

the marriage up to me.

I'm leaving

the divorce up to you.

I hope you have better luck.

I'm sorry you found out about my

affair with Stacie the way you did.

Look, I should've

told you myself.

I... I kept meaning to.

Who's gonna tell Tim?

It would be easier on him

if it came from you.

But, uh, don't call him.

Wait till he comes home

next month.

Oh. Any way you tell him,

it's gonna hurt him, no matter what.

Trish?

Trish?

I wish he would write.

Uh, make sure that Maria forwards my mail.

I may stay for a while.

Trish. We've got to

talk about things.

Uh...

What about the pool filter?

What... What about it?

What do you

want me to do?

You decide.

All right.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Uh...

No, please don't.

I'm enjoying the quiet.

Okay? Bye.

It's okay.

Come here.

It's okay.

We can expect light variable winds

this morning under low clouds.

Winds turning

southwesterly to 17...

Surfing conditions should be

moderate today...

Scamp. Come here.

Come on.

...from Hollywood Beach all the

way to Malibu Beach. Come here.

Wave maximums are three feet

on a 12-second interval.

Good boy.

Good boy!

Air temperature is 82 degrees,

and sea temperature is...

Morning!

Hope you had

a good night's sleep.

Just fine, thank you.

Can I borrow

a towel from you?

You don't have a towel?

Forget it. I'll just let

the sun dry me out.

It's better for you anyway.

Here, use this.

Thank you.

She wants to know the reason

Got to know the reason why

this man has got to go

I would've brought

my own towel, but, uh...

I was gonna get it from my friend's house,

but guess what happened.

Don't you wanna know

what happened?

Okay, what?

They weren't there.

Last night, I had to sleep on the

beach with no blanket or nothin'.

Some friends, huh?

Are you finished

with that chicken?

Yes.

Are you gonna give it to Scamp

or throw it away, or what?

Would you like some?

Oh, yes.

Thank you.

Hi, Scamp.

Is that wine?

Thank you.

Here, Scamp.

No, don't feed him.

No? Okay.

Sorry, Scamp.

She wants to know

Wants to know the reason

Got to know the reason why

This man has got to go

This man is always leavin'

How he hates

to say goodbye

See, the thing is,

most of my friends are undependable.

Except for Gregg,

and Gregg is in jail now.

But I told you that.

I gotta get him out.

Do you, uh,

like to cook?

I like to read.

The only reason I said

it is this chicken...

It's so well prepared.

What...

What do you do?

Do you... Do you deep-fry it, or, um...

Do you broil it?

Do you wanna be alone? If you wanna be alone,

I... I can take a hint.

Yes.

Geez, what a world.

Because my friends

are undependable,

I gotta put up with

this humiliation and hurt.

Look, take the chicken

and the wine, would you?

Look, I'm not that hungry,

even though I hate waste.

The only reason I came by was to tell you,

since you're into pills,

I can get you any kind

of mood changers you want.

I am not into pills.

Well, maybe you should be.

I mean, you need somethin' to mellow you out.

I mean, really.

You... You're so uptight.

Thanks for the chicken.

Have a nice day.

Did I leave my t-shirt here?

It's right over there.

Hi.

Excuse me.

Hey, can I talk to you?

No. Really,

it's an intrusion.

I know.

I know I've been an intrusion.

And I... And I... I do apologize.

It's just that...

You know, my friends

weren't here...

...and you can't imagine

what it's been like.

I mean, really.

Nice radio.

Well, look, if your friends aren't here,

why don't you just go home?

My car broke down.

That's how come.

My car's about as dependable

as my friends are.

I think you should

put on a sweater.

Well, I'd like to, but... But my backpack

got swiped. Do you believe that?

I'd like to get my hands on the

creep-geek who stole it too. Sh*t.

Excuse my language.

It was just a backpack.

Just a backpack?

Look, what if someone

were to go into your home

and clean you out,

lock, stock and barrel?

How would you feel

about that?

Or perhaps it's different

in this case

because you... You...

You probably got, uh, two homes, right?

I got one backpack.

I had one backpack.

Hey, but you know what?

Maybe whoever stole it needed it more

than I did. That's a possibility.

Did you ever think of that?

Strip. Strip!

Wait a minute.

I want you to drink this.

You might be

catching cold.

And here.

Put this on.

Tonight, why don't you sleep

in your car? You'll be warmer.

You can have

this blanket.

Hmm.

I wonder if

you have a fever.

Maybe I should sleep

inside tonight.

You know,

where it'd be warmer.

No.

I should've known.

Just when I think

I should trust you.

Well, you know why

you don't trust me?

'Cause you're naturally

suspicious, that's why.

I never met a rich person

who wasn't.

I mean, like before. I wasn't gonna

take your radio or do anything to you.

I mean, really.

I got my doubts

about you too, lady.

I tell you that.

I certainly do.

Hi.

Are you a member

of the Automobile Club?

Do I look like I'm a member

of the Automobile Club?

It's not even my car.

It's Gregg's.

I was gonna sell it

to help raise bail,

but now... Geez.

Who'd want it?

Look, I can call AAA,

and they can pick the car up and fix it.

I'm sorry about

yesterday.

You're right. I am suspicious.

Of everything.

You sure are.

Look, will you stop following me?

No.

Well, what do you want?

I want you to come and have lunch

with me while they fix your car.

No.

Come on.

Get in.

You talked me into it.

How old are you?

What are you

having for lunch?

Salade Nicoise.

What's that?

Do you like it?

Mmm.

Is that tuna?

Yes, it's tuna.

Mmm, thank you.

You know your friend...

What's his name?

Gregg. You must be

worried about him.

Yeah. Yes, I am.

Did you... Here.

Here's a picture of him.

Mmm. He looks

like he's nice.

Oh, yeah. He's the

smartest man I know.

Before, you said

you had to sell his car.

You see,

the judge set the bail at 5,000 bucks.

It should only be 1,000.

Which means that they're probably

holding him for questioning.

'Cause they figure, you know, he...

He knows something... Which he does.

So what are you going to do?

Well, I need to get a lawyer to

get a writ of habeas corpus.

The only problem is that

the only lawyer I know, I...

I think he's in trouble

with the law himself, so...

Is that who

you keep calling?

What about your friends

out here? Can't they help?

They're layin' low.

Some friends.

This is lovely.

I mean...

This is really great.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're not Gregg's

partner, are you?

No. I know what

you're thinkin'. No. It...

Look, we're just

best friends.

And Gregg is into the heavy-duty stuff,

I am not.

The only reason

I scored those reds was...

I was hopin' I could open up a

line of communication with you,
