Silver Linings Playbook Page #7

I'm sorry.

Hey, is he messing

with you?

No, no. No, this was just a joke.

This is a joke I started.

There's a restraining

order on this guy.

I know, I have a

stupid sense of humor.

That's not a good

thing to do.

Well, I'm f***ed up. What can I tell you?

I'm sorry.

You're Tommy's

widow, right?

Yes, I'm Tommy's crazy whore widow, minus

the whore thing for the most part.

You're a funny girl. You

wanna get a drink sometime?

What'd I say? She doesn't,

she doesn't do that anymore.

I'm sorry about what

I said in the diner.

I know. I know you

didn't mean it.

I didn't mean it at all.

I know, you say sh*t you

don't mean all the time.

All the time. I'll still give your

letter to Nikki, don't worry.

Wow. I really appreciate

that, Tiffany.

I know you do.

You do? Yeah, sure. I'll see you tomorrow?

With the letter?

I'll bet I know what happened

if only one is missing.

Either Dolores or pat needed an

envelope and one of 'em took it.

That's the only answer.

No, no, no.

Dolores, somebody was in my study.

Who took one of my envelopes?

Somebody took an envelope.

Maybe we should

call the FBI.

Don't make fun.

This is serious.

What FBI? Come on, let's take a look.

I'll show you what this is.

I'm gonna just explain to you something.

I mean, you know what

I'm doing, honey. This

everything, like this.

I got this, it

all corresponds.

Dad, I borrowed one

of your envelopes.

I hope that's

not a problem.

No, it's not okay. It's not okay.

You gotta ask.

"Do not go in my study

or I will eat you!.

It's not funny,

it's not funny.

What's everybody making

a joke out of this for?

Dolores, you are

so beautiful!

Stop that! Hey, hey,

hey, stop, stop, stop!

Listen, a lot of envelopes go in

and out of my office every day

after games with

a lot of cash in

'em. So show some

respect for what I do.

Yeah, I know. I saw

two-seven-four.

I just wanted to

tell you the number.

Thank you.

But the envelope was empty.

I'm sorry, you were sleeping.

I didn't want to wake you,

but I needed an envelope.

You didn't want to wake me?

He didn't want to wake me.

He doesn't have a problem complaining

about Ernest f***ing Hemingway.

He doesn't have a problem

asking for his wedding video-

be nice. It's game day! I'm makin

crabby snacks and homemades.

Yeah, come on, dad, be nice. Come

on, she's making crabby snacks and

homemades. Come on, dad!

What are you so up about?

He's very happy.

I'm happy.

No, you're so

up, up, up, up.

Isn't that a good thing?

You're just up, up, up. I

don't know what that is.

Are you taking the proper

dosage of your medication?

Am I taking the right dose?

Of course I am.

Okay. Taking a little bit

too many or something?

No, if I was taking that,

I'd be on the floor, dad.

Just stay with us. Stay for the game.

Spend some family time.

Dad, I can't. Look,

I'm ready to go.

Spend family time. Wait, you

mean ocd, superstitious time?

Come on, your dad needs a winner.

Help him out.

Come on. I can't.

It's the seahawks.

Put on the Jersey and stay, please.

Please. It's important, please.

What are you up to, pat?

Nothing, come on.

What's in the envelope?

Yeah, what are you doing?

What's in that envelope?

Guys, I'm beating the song!

I'm on the scoreboard!

I'm playing down field!

I feel great!

Hey, how you doin'?

Is Tiffany here?

What do you want with her?

Is that another creep? What do

you want, creep? Just beat it.

Whoa, no, no, no.

No, I'm married.

Oh, great, a married creep.

I'm her friend.

We go running. Have you guys not seen us?

I took her to the diner.

She's not here.

Hi, guys. How's it going? Hey.

Is Tiffany home? Go away.

I know her. I know her, we've dated.

We still date.

What are you doing here? I've

called her, I've texted her.

I still haven't heard back.

We used to work together-

just get the hell

out of here...

I just wanted to give you

my card to give to her.

Another rude creep. Listen

to what he's saying.

Listen to what he's saying.

What's he saying?

He's saying you're

being rude.

How am I being rude?

Oh, you know. You know.

Come on.

Sometimes it's okay with girls like this,

they wanna have fun and sometimes -

- it's not because they got a

broken wing, and they're hurt,

and they're an easy target. And in

this case, in this particular case,

I think that wing

is being fixed.

And you gotta make sure it gets mended.

And you're gettin' in the

way of that right now, okay?

Because she's sensitive and she's

smart, she's artistic. This is

a great girl and you gotta be

respectful of that.

Come on.

Let me walk you down to your car.

You're a better guy than this.

I can see it in your eyes.

She just texted me!

Hey! Hey, wait a second!

What are you doing?

What happened?

How come you weren't outside?

What the hell's going on?

I can't, I can't do it.

What do you mean, you can't do it?

You can't do what?

I can't give the

letter to Nikki.

Tiffany, what are you talking about?

What do you mean you can't

give the letter to Nikki? Because

what am I getting in return?

What are you doing for me? You said!

You said if I wrote a letter,

you'd get it to Nikki. I know.

That was the set-up.

Because I do this time after time

after time, I do all this sh*t for

other people and then I wake up

and, and I'm empty, I have nothing!

What are you talking about? You

seem like you're a tough girl to

me. Why don't you just

do things on your own?

I always get myself in these

f***ing situations. I give

everything to other people and

nobody ever, I never... I don't get

what I want, okay?

I'm not my sister.

Alright, well, ask for you.

What can I do for you?

I can't do it. Tiffany,

what do you want me to do?

Think of something.

There's this thing.

There's a thing, okay.

What kind of thing?

It's a thing, it's a thing.

It's a, it's a dance thing.

It's a dance

thing, all right.

It's a competition thing at

the Benjamin Franklin hotel.

Tommy would never do it with me and

I missed it every single year.

Well, Tommy's dead, so he's

not gonna f***ing do it.

Would you please! I don't

have a filter when I talk.

Can we have one conversation

without you reminding me that my

goddamn husband is dead?

Yes, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Okay, I'm sorry.

But I can only do it if I have a partner...

And now I'm about to miss

it for another year.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm not

gonna f***in' dance with you.

What are you

talking about?

What, your schedule is so busy?

"grapes of wrath"and watching

football with your dad?

Tiffany, I'm not gonna

do a dance with you.

All right, then I'm not giving

her your f***ing letter.

Wait a second! But you

promised you would do this.

Think about it.

Well, I already did do

something for you, you know.

I took care of that jerkoff that

was in front of your house.

What? Jordie?

Let me ask you something. Do you

call him when you're lonely?

That encourages him, Tiffany.

You shouldn't do it.

Couldn't you say the same
