Great.

Hey...

Thank you.

Yeah.

Thanks, man.

Yeah.

How's he doing?

Wrestling's

a lot different

than fist-fighting.

Yeah.

But he stuck it through

the whole practice,

and he's still

at it.

I'll help him.

All right, you guys!

No conditioning

tomorrow morning,

light workout

tomorrow after school.

Okay, good.

You did good.

Come on,

off you go!

All right, good!

Are you sure this is

going to be all right?

Yeah, deaf kids

can wrestle. He's...

Okay.

You just, uh...

You might

want to get him

some Ben-Gay

or something.

And tell him

to take a hot shower

Before he goes to bed,

just so he doesn't

cramp up too much.

Thanks.

Ladies and gentlemen

of the jury,

you have heard all the evidence.

Now it is my duty

to instruct you

on the law

that applies to this case.

You must base your decision

on the facts and the law,

and you must determine

these facts

from the evidence received

in this trial,

and not from any other sources.

Hey...

Hey.

The jury's deliberating.

Oh.

Hi.

Hi.

They're breaking

until Monday.

Sometimes it takes

a few hours,

sometimes it takes

a few days.

Friday's not a great day

to start deliberating, so...

they'll bring something

back next week.

I'm sure of it.

So, what are you

going to do with yourself

this weekend?

I don't know.

I have another wedding

on Saturday night.

You know,

if you want to kill some time.

They met on the internet.

He's in a wheelchair.

She's works at a gym

in South Hills

teaching some exercise classes.

He's a professor at, uh,

CMU, in computers.

She's never even

been to college.

It's crazy.

So, you know, something to do.

Are you going to

say anything or not?

Uh, sure.

I-I'd...

I'll come.

I'll come

with you.

Okay.

I'd like that.

Okay.

Oh.

They're starting up,

so...

I'll see you later.

Okay, tomorrow

at, uh, 5:
00.

Oh, your friend,

um, Brice,

came in here

with his fiancee

the other day.

Guess they're using

the community center

for the wedding.

Anyway, I told them

I'd help them out.

You know,

save some money.

That's nice.

Come on, Linda.

I want you

to dance.

We'll show you,

come on.

You want to dance?

No, I don't dance.

No, neither did

my husband.

Well, I'm going to.

You don't have to,

but I'm going to.

I want everybody to dance.

I want everybody

to have fun.

Come on, Linda.

I'm sorry.

You're working.

Yeah, but I left you

sitting in here

for, like, an hour.

It's fine.

You're working.

It's-- it's okay.

I just had to make sure

all the unused bottles

weren't billed

and the rose petals

were put away.

You going to

close up, Linda?

Oh, yeah, go on.

I'll-- I'll do it.

Thank you

for helping.

Oh, uh, yeah.

No problem.

You know, you don't

have to keep coming

to these things

if it's boring

for you.

No, it's--

it's okay. It's--

You sure?

Yeah, I had fun,

so...

Yeah, in your way.

In my way?

Yeah, your...

I know I'm a lot

older than you,

and I know I'm all...

f***ed up.

No, please don't stop.

Please keep going.

No, just, please,

before I think too much.

Hi.

Hi.

I...

I want you to

hold onto this for me.

If I tell Clay

you're keeping it for him--

I don't want it.

He won't

argue with me.

I can't have it

around here.

I don't want it.

To Clay...

this is what he has left

of his dad.

I can't just

throw it away.

I haven't,

since Larry died,

even been able

to talk to someone,

let alone

be with someone.

Yeah, I just, um...

I think I'd better

get going.

Good night.

Good night.

# when you finally

scaled the wall #

# thinkin' you had heard

the siren singing #

# what you really heard

was a broken bird #

# making out

like it's a dove... #

Okay? You do it.

No, no--

Hook.

Hook that. Hook that.

Feel that?

Two.

# everybody knew

what you were thinking #

# ivory towers

lover's flowers #

# but no one thought

you were a fool #

# you never stopped

to notice all #

# the stolen clothes

stacked in the hall... #

You know how.

Do it.

Come on.

# from the others

who scaled the wall just to... #

Watch me.

Hey, watch me!

You're going to do

what I do.

F*** you!

Come on!

Come on!

I'm sorry about

throwing you like that.

It's part of

the sport.

I didn't

mean anything by it.

Around this time

about a year ago

I was a couple

tournaments away

from making

the national team.

There was this guy, Packer,

and this other guy

from Northeast Pennsylvania.

Said he'd give me

a run for it, but...

man, I was close.

Then one day I'm...

in the middle of a workout.

One of the trainers comes in.

I could just tell by the way

she was looking at me

that something...

really horrible had happened.

So I take the first bus home.

I get there,

and everything is just a mess.

My little niece is asking

where her mommy is,

Annie's fiance, he's just...

he's in shock.

He's in no position to take her,

and my mom just starts talking,

just non-stop,

just to anybody that'll listen.

It's, like,

nobody's thinking about anything

except for themselves.

Not about Annie,

not about the guy

that killed her.

I mean, am I so screwed up

to be constantly thinking

about this guy?

I got no idea

what you're talking about.

Just tell your mom,

and she'll tell me.

Clay's asleep.

Do you want to

help me?

Mm-hm.

Turn the light out.

What?

I don't...

Do you want this?

Write it down?

What?

Mom...

What are you doing?

Cleaning up

for the rummage sale.

I see that.

Thanks for getting

all that crap out of here.

change anything for me.
