You mean rookie

of the year?

Yeah.

Desean Jackson?

Desean Jackson?

Oh, you wore a

Jersey to dinner.

Isn't it awesome?

Not for dinner.

Look, he got us flowers.

Oh, that's sweet. That's sweet, pat.

That's lovely.

And wine.

Hey.

Check this out. We just

redid the whole thing.

Hey.

Wow!

Tremendous. Tremendous.

Isn't it great?

Tremendous.

Yeah, man, I'm, I'm thinking

of redoing it again.

Why?

Because. Gotta be making a

lot of paper to do that.

Yeah, we're doing all right, man.

I can't complain.

Isn't the market

down, though?

It is down, but you know, she wants

more, so I'm giving her more, man.

Hey, you know my dad

lost his pension.

I'm sorry, man.

Yeah.

A lot of people.

My Uncle, too.

Really?

Yeah, but you know what? No

disrespect, it's not personal,

but this is the

time to strike.

You start snapping up

commercial real estate...

Cheap... flip it

over, you flip it over and

that's when you make the money.

But the pressure...

It's like...

You okay?

I'm not okay. Don't tell anybody.

Listen to me.

I feel like I'm

getting crushed and-

crushed by what?

Everything. The family, the baby,

the job, the f***ing d*cks at work,

and it's like, you know, like I'm

trying to do this, you know, and,

and, and I'm like...

Suffocating.

Holy sh*t.

You can't be happy

all the time.

Who told you you

can't be happy?

It's all right. You just do

your best, you have no choice.

That's not true at all.

You just can't.

Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie!

I hope you're okay with

Veronica's sister coming over.

You okay with that? Who?

Veronica's sister.

Tiffany. Tiffany and...

Tommy?

Yeah. Just Tiffany.

What happened to Tommy?

He died.

Tommy died? Cops die.

How'd he die?

Please, don't bring it up.

No, how did he die?

How did who die?

Hey, Tiffany! This is pat.

Pat, my sister-in-law Tiffany.

You look nice.

Thank you.

I'm not flirting with you.

Oh, I didn't

think you were.

I just see that you made an effort

and I'm gonna be better with my

wife, I'm working on that. I

wanna acknowledge her beauty.

I never used to do that.

I do that now.

'Cause we're gonna be better than ever...

Nikki. Just practicing.

How'd Tommy die?

What about your job?

I just got

fired, actually.

Oh, really? How?

I mean, I'm sorry.

How'd that happen?

Does it really matter?

Baby, how's it going?

Great, great.

We're gonna go

on a tour now.

Let's go see the house.

Come on, let's

go for the tour.

I've, I've been planning this forever.

I love our house.

I love our house. I'm

really excited about it.

Come on.

Guess what it is.

Oh, it's a television. It's

a computer screen. Nope.

Just keep going, keep

going, keep going.

It's a brick oven, it's a brick oven.

It's a light. It's a...

Ooh, ooh, warmer,

warmer, warmer.

It's a drawer at a morgue

where they pull out dead

bodies and shoot them with formaldehyde.

Where would the body go, though?

It's a joke!

It's a... fireplace.

In the middle of the wall?

We have a port in every room.

Gimme an iPod.

Who, who doesn't

have an iPod?

Well, I don't have an iPod.

I don't even have a phone.

They won't let me make any calls.

They think I'm gonna call Nikki.

Don't worry about it.

Don't focus on that.

I would call Nikki.

I'm actually gonna give

you one of my iPods.

I have an old one.

Gimme your iPod.

Give it to me. Thank

you, baby, thank you.

Of all the rooms there

are iPod ports in,

I'm happy you brought

us into the bathroom.

I can play music for

the baby in any room.

Can you play "ride the

lightning"by metallica?

Pat was a history sub at

the high school, Tiffany.

Ask him about any president,

he knows 'em all.

Here's a fun fact. You know

where the term "ok"comes from?

No. No, I don't.

Where?

Well, Martin van buren, the eighth

President of the United States of

America, is from

kinderhook, New York...

Oh.

And he was part of a club, a men's

club, called old kinderhook.

And if you were cool, you

were in the club, they'd say,

"that guy's ok. "'Cause he

was in the old kinderhooks.

Really?

Yeah. Pretty cool, right?

That's interesting.

You know, Tiffany's been doing this

dance thing for years and she's

real good at it. She's gonna be

competing at the Ben Franklin hotel.

Oh, really? My wife loves dance.

Nikki loves dance.

Why do you have to talk

about me like that?

I'm just bragging about you. Can't

I brag about my little sister?

Don't talk about me

in the third person.

Please, gimme a break.

I'm right here.

Just be nice.

Just be nice.

Wow, wow, wow.

Fascinating.

Sorry. I don't

wanna be mean.

I know. I know, I know.

What meds are you on?

Me? None. I used to be on lithium

and Seroquel and Abilify,

but I don't take them anymore, no.

They make me foggy

and they also

make me bloated.

Yeah, I was on Xanax and Effexor,

but I agree, I wasn't as sharp,

so I stopped. You

ever take klonopin?

Klonopin? Yeah.

Right? Jesus.

It's like, "what? What day

is it?"how about trazodone?

Trazodone!

Oh, it flattens you out.

I mean, you are done.

It takes the light right

out of your eyes.

God, I bet it does.

I'm tired. I wanna go.

No. No, no, no, no. We haven't, we

haven't even finished the salad

yet, or the duck. I made

the fire and ice cake.

I said I'm tired. Are you

gonna walk me home or what?

You mean me?

Yeah, you. Are you

gonna walk me home?

You have poor social skills.

You have a problem.

I have a problem? You say more

inappropriate things than

appropriate things.

You scare people.

I tell the truth.

But you're mean.

What? I'm not

telling the truth?

Um, maybe I should drive

them home separately?

You can drive them both home.

Now.

Stop talking about me in third person.

You can take Tiffany home first.

You love it when

I have problems.

You love it, Von, because then you

can be the good one. Just say it.

No... I don't. I don't. I

just wanted to have a nice,

I just wanted to have a nice dinner.

Oh, God.

What is your problem?!

Nothing's my problem! I'm fine.

I'm tired and I wanna go.

Come on, are you ready?

You really, you really

wanna go right now?

Yes, I really wanna go!

It's been great.

Okay, guys, the

baby is sleeping!

Sorry. I don't wanna

wake up the baby. Bye.

Listen, I haven't dated since

before my marriage so I don't

really remember

how this works.

How what works?

I saw the way you were

looking at me, pat.

You felt it, I felt it, don't lie.

We're not liars like they are.

I live in the addition around

back, which is completely

separate from my parents' house, so

there's no chance of them walking

in on us. I hate the fact that you

wore a football Jersey to dinner

because I hate football, but you can f***

me if you turn the lights off, okay?

How old are you?

Old enough to have a marriage end and

not wind up in a mental hospital.

Look, I had a really good time

tonight and I think you're really

pretty, but I'm

married, okay?

You're married? So am I.

No, that's confusing.
