'cause I suck.

Sh*t.

Dean?

Yeah?

Do you have a long-sleeved shirt

or something I could borrow?

I can't go out like this.

Wayp in the sky.

Way up in the sky.

With a wing on the left.

And a...

wing on the right.

And a wing on the right.

The baby bird sleeps.

The baby bird sleeps.

All through the night.

All through the night.

Shh!

Shh!

Baby bird.

They're sleeping.

How was work today?

How'd you get in here?

I'm the one

who asks the questions.

I don't answer.

F*** me, snoopy.

You got to give me

a break.

You look terrible.

Yeah.

What's going on?

I'm going to tell you

the truth.

I'm in trouble.

I'm dirty.

You want to get clean?

You want inpatient?

No, I want outpatient.

Or prison.

No, because

I have to keep this job.

This job is the only thing

that I haven't--

Please, please,

let me keep this job.

It's inpatient

or prison.

Hello.

Yeah, I got my PO here.

Can I call you back?

Please, please, please,

please, please.

I lost my daughter.

I lost her.

I don't know--there's no

other way I can get her back.

Inpatient or prison;

your choice.

Ugh!

You know,

I don't get you.

You want to get clean.

You don't want

to do the work.

You want your daughter,

but you don't want

to do the work.

I wish it could be

some other way,

but at this point,

you do not qualify

for outpatient.

Take the weekend.

Say good-bye

to your family.

Report to me Monday morning

at 8:
00 a. m. ,

and I will take you down.

If I don't see you,

I will issue a warrant

for your arrest.

You're probably not

going to believe this,

but I think about you

all the time.

You're my sister.

I never forgot you.

You snaked me

with that b*tch, Bobby.

I can't trust you.

I want you to get to know

your daughter, Sherry.

I really do.

But you got to put yourself

in our shoes.

Lynette loves

that little girl

like she was her own,

and to tell you the truth,

I do too.

leave mine alone?

We've been taking care of her.

You think that's easy?

And we are going

to have our own kid,

maybe even two,

but we've been taking care

of Alexis

because of you,

remember?

I know. I know.

I f***ed up.

I always f*** up.

I know what

you've been through.

Don't think I don't know

what you've been through.

What's that mean?

It means

I'm on your side.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

It means I'm on your side,

okay?

I'm on your f***ing side.

So will you let me

take her out alone,

just me and her,

so she's not

scared of me anymore?

Okay.

Okay, but no sleepovers,

okay?

One step at a time,

okay?

You love me?

Yes, I love you.

I know.

No!

Alexis.

Oh, hi.

Hey.

Hi.

Alexis,

go put on your shoes.

Sherry's here

to take you.

I'll go get her ready.

I hope you're happy,

because nobody else is.

Excuse me.

Come on,

put your shoesies on, okay?

And you should like...

Hey, Lexi.

What is it, baby?

I don't want to go, Bobby.

It's okay, sweetie.

You're going to have a fun day

with your mother.

Why, baby?

You scared?

You can tell Mama.

Let's pack her green shirt too,

just in case she gets dirty.

Okay.

I got it.

Alexis, let's put

your backpack on.

Come on, sweetie,

please.

I don't want to go, Bobby.

Sweetie, come on;

it's going to be fun.

Here, I'll carry you out,

okay?

Don't forget this.

You look so pretty

in this.

Oh, what a big girl.

Come here; let me

put this on you.

Keep your hair

out of your face.

I'll see you later,

okay,

and make some cheeseburgers

for supper, okay?

Okay, have fun.

Bye, Lyn.

Okay.

You're gonna have

a fun day, okay?

Remember what I told you?

You're gonna have fun.

Can you get the door?

It's going to be a good time;

I promise, okay?

Come on, let go.

Let go, baby.

Okay.

No, no, no, no,

put it in the front seat.

Sherry, it needs to go

in the back; that's the law.

Always in the back, okay?

Come here, sweetie.

Come on, please.

Come on.

Here we go.

Put your legs down.

Just like our car.

I don't want to go,

Bobby.

Okay, but see,

this is the day

that you get to know Sherry

better, okay?

Okay?

Okay.

I don't want to go.

You don't want to go?

Well, listen to me.

You're going to have fun,

okay?

I promise.

Okay.

What time are you

going to have her back?

Um...

I don't know,

Okay, 4:
00.

Hey. You okay, baby?

Are you okay?

She's okay.

She'll be--

she'll be all right.

Alexis,

it's going to be okay.

You're going to have

a fun day, okay?

You're going to have

a good time.

Have fun with her,

okay?

Thanks.

The baby bird

sleeps.

The baby bird

All through the night.

All through the night.

I'm hungry.

Are you hungry?

Yeah.

You want junk food?

Yes.

Yes.

I'm starving.

Me too.

You want to push it?

I want chicken nuggets.

Okay.

And I want to eat...

french fries.

I want french fries too.

And...

So when are we going to get

to miniature golf?

Soon.

Really soon.

I've never did

miniature golf before.

You never did?

Uh-uh, never.

That's a shame.

Did you ever go

to Florida?

Florida?

Yeah.

No.

Me neither.

You want to go?

Lyn and Bobby went,

and I stayed

at Grandma Mary's.

Hmm.

She--she lets me stay up late

and watch late movies...

This thing

looks like it hurts.

And has a little dog

that's named Isabella.

It's mean?

No, it's named Isabella,

but it's a nice dog.

It's a little

French bulldog.

So do you want to go

to Florida?

Mommy?

Yes, my love?

I have to go

to the bathroom.

You do?

Okay, let's go.

One more.

Come on. Damn it.

Go in the bathroom.

Jesus Christ.

You like embarrassing me

like that?

Do you?

Why don't you answer me?

You never listen to me,

and you never answer me.

Look at me

when I talk to you.

You want me

to leave you here?

Is that what you want?

You're lucky

that I'm here with my girl,

or I'd beat the living sh*t

out of you,

you f***ing bully!

Lexis?

Lexis,

I'm sorry.

Lexi, Lexi.

Hey, baby.

Alexis,

what are you doing?

Did you go

to the bathroom?

Lexi,

open up the door.

Open up the door.

Come here.

What is it?

Oh, what happened?

It's okay.

I'm scared, Sherry.

It's okay.

All right.

I'm just gonna

get the keys.

Ugh, f***.

Let's get these wet pants

off you.

Come on, you got to help me

get your shoes off.

Oh--come on.

Jesus.

Okay, and you do

the other one.

F*** me.

Okay, look what I got.

Oh--

what's that?

Oh, look at this.

Come on, baby.

I'm trying.

Come here.

Okay,

take your panties off, Lex.

Sherry, close the door.

Hey, you got to help me.

All right.

Come on, left foot.

Left foot.

Do you even love me?

Tell me you love me.

I love you.

Tell me,

"I love you, Mommy. "

I love you, Mommy.

Come on.

You know what?

I used to get scared too...

all the time.
