He's dead.

Wait, what?

What's happening?

Oh, my God. Hey.

Are you okay? Ronnie called. Hey,

is that make-up on your shirt?

I don't know, mom.

What happened over there?

When am I gonna

get a phone?

You'll get a phone

in due time.

What happened?

Pat!

Mom!

I can't find my wedding video.

Mom, wake up.

What is it?

Where's my wedding video?

It's after three o'clock!

What are you doing?

I looked in here, but this is all

your sewing sh*t up here, for your

sewing and everything.

Did you put it up here?

What about in your

father's study?

Don't go in my study.

Dad, not now!

Would you put it in here? It makes

no sense for you to put it in here.

Patty, what are you doing?

He's got all his eagles videos

and not one video of my wedding!

Is it here? I mean...?

Patty!

It's probably

in the attic.

Are you going in my study?

It feels to me like you wanna

hide my wedding video.

Please stop yelling!

I'm not yelling, mom,

I'm just frustrated

because I should have my

f***ing wedding video!

Pat! Pat!

I looked over there! I already

looked all over there!

Calm down, pat.

I'm not calming down! I don't

give a f*** who hears,

I'm not calming down!

Anybody can wake up!

I'm not ashamed of it!

I'm not ashamed of it!

Let the whole neighborhood wake up!

I... don't care!

Pat! Stop it!

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!

What's going on?

What?

I want it! It-...

Hey!

It's my wedding! It's

my wedding video!

Pat! Stop it! Stop it!

Stop it!

I can't watch my wedding video,

but I can hear the f***ing song.

Mom?

What the f*** you doing?! You...

Hit your mother?!

No, no, no, no, no!

Stop it!

Get off me, dad!

Stop hitting him!

Stop hitting him!

I'm not hitting him!

He's hitting me!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

Police! Open up.

Mister solatano, I

got a lot of calls.

People in the neighborhood are scared.

I gotta come in.

How are we doing

in here, huh?

There are a lot of reports from your

neighbors, we got a lot of phone calls.

Nikki is being manipulated and controlled.

You have to talk to her.

Hey, sit down.

Sit down.

You gotta stop with

these crazy theories.

He's a cop. What

are you doing?

It's a medication problem,

but he's fine now.

Oh yeah? He's fine now? You wanna

send him back to Baltimore?

We know all about the explosion

at the psychiatrist's office.

What?

What explosion? No. Cliff

is lying, that's not true.

He's not allowed to

talk about that.

Jesus Christ, who's that?

Keep an eye on him.

Is this a bipolar episode?

Get outta here, you

little f***in'

idiot! Get outta here!

Someone, help me! Help me!

You can't tell

Nikki about this,

officer.

Look, I gotta make

out a report.

No, no, no, listen, sir.

Hey! Sit down.

He's chasing me! This guy's chasing me!

Help me!

Sit down!

I'm sorry. I could just write

you a letter and you could just

let me have five minutes, explaining

how much better I'm doing.

There's a court order against you...

Five hundred feet. Listen to me!

And I'll take that f***ing camera

and I'm gonna break it over

your f***in' head, then I'm gonna

come back and interview you about

what it's like to get that f***in'

camera broken over your head!

Youwa..., what are

you laughing about?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Go back to sleep. The party's over.

Show's over.

This is not a reflection of where I'm at.

You can't... please,

you can't tell her any of this

you can't tell Nikki about this.

You need to pipe down.

Everything all right?

Who was at the door?

Who was that, dad?

It was that kid

with the camera.

Good luck. I gotta

write this up.

Come on, don't write it up! I

don't want her to see this!

It's okay, everything is okay.

We're fine, thank you,

we appreciate it.

Thank you.

Hey!

What the hell?

What happened

to your face?

Weight lifting accident.

That sounds like bullshit.

Why'd you run by my house?

Did our little conversation

get you upset last night?

Hey, this is my route, okay?

Just back off.

This is my neighborhood.

You just ran by my house.

I like to run by

myself, okay?

Me too.

Hey, I like to run alone!

Will you stop?

What?

Okay? I'm running here!

Me too!

Well then, why don't you

run somewhere else?

There's a f***ing ton of roads to run in!

What are you trying to do?

I like this road. This

is my neighborhood.

Oh, come on, please!

Calm down, crazy.

Hey!

What the f***?!

I'm married!

So am I!

What the f*** are you doing?

Your husband's dead!

Where is your wife?

You're crazy!

I'm not the one that just got out

of that hospital in Baltimore.

I'm not the big slut!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I was a big slut, but I'm not anymore.

There's always gonna be a

part of me that's sloppy and dirty,

but I like that, with all the other

parts of myself. Can you say the

same about yourself, f***er?!

Can you forgive? Are

you any good at that?

You seemed to have

trouble last night.

Let me just set the record

straight about last night.

Hurting my mother was a mistake

and I hate myself for it,

and I hate my illness and

I want to control it.

My father, on the other

hand, had no trouble

slapping the sh*t out of me last

night, which I did not return

'cause I could've killed him and I didn't.

He's sixty-five years old.

You don't think I could've beat

the sh*t out of him? I mean...

He was scared for your mother

and you hurt him as well.

Yes, last night was a mess.

Okay? And I think

he probably just tried

to do his best.

Pat, you have to have a strategy.

I told you earlier.

You need to recognize these feelings

coming to you, otherwise you will be sent

back to Baltimore. So when you get

these feelings, you need to get to

a quieter place, and be at peace

with yourself, however you can.

Yeah, but that's

easier said than done.

You have to do it. You have no choice.

Excelsior.

Yeah, excelsior. Listen, I have a

letter I want you to give Nikki,

okay?

No.

Why?

Because you have

a restraining

order.

What good are you, man?

Why did you have this

overwhelming urgency to see your

wedding video last night?

Oh, I don't know, because I'm

married and I haven't seen my wife

in eight and a

half months?

Maybe you think that Nikki's not

around and Tiffany's an attractive

girl and if you get drawn towards

Tiffany, you will spoil your

chances of getting

Nikki back to you?

Not bad, doctor Jones. But I

don't think I'm gonna blow it

with Nikki because

Tiffany's a slut.

Why is she a slut?

After the dinner

at Ronnie's,

she said, quote, "we can

go to the back house and"

you can f*** me as long as

we turn the lights out."

Unquote. And she still

wears her wedding ring.

So she's a loyal,

married-to-a-dead-guy slut.

Maybe she just needs a friend and

she thought if she offers you sex,

it will be easier for you

to become friends with her.

She said she's not a whore anymore,

but she likes that part of herself

along with all the other parts of

herself and can I say the same?
