Your mom said where is Bethany.

I think I should know

something about that.

She made a mistake, okay.

Her brain's

deteriorating, she can't

figure a lot of stuff out

you just have to get past it.

Yeah, but that's

the other thing, I know that,

I know that, because

your dad has talked to me

about that today.

You have not said that

to me about your mom.

You have not said that

you have a sister.

I don't, so.

Just talk to me.

Do you have a sister?

No, gabi, I don't have

a sister, she's dead.

She's dead?

Yeah, please, stop.

I'm sorry.

It's fine, but you keep digging.

I'm not digging.

Don't say that, I'm asking.

Because I should know

because I'm your

girlfriend, right?

I mean.

Girlfriends know

that kind of stuff.

You wanna talk about it?

You can talk about it with me.

Fine, I'll talk about it.

Okay, look.

My sister died in a car

accident when she was 16.

The money from the settlement

paid for me to go to college,

it completely

destroyed my family,

and it's never been

the same since then.

Is that better?

Yeah, it's better

because I know.

But I don't want you

to say it's better

like an a**hole.

Okay so now

I talk to you.

Because I'm finding

it out.

I talk to you

and I'm the a**hole still.

I mean, Martin

you're talking to me about--

I try to tell you something

that's personal to me--

Because I find out.

And you call me an a**hole?

Yeah great, perfect,

yeah thanks.

I'm just saying that

I'm right now talking

about that with you

because I'm finding out

not because you're

talking about it.

I just want you to tell
