Right now!

You should have

woke me up, Rich.

Now look what happened.

I just lost my job.

Wait a minute.

You're saying it's my fault?

I'm just saying you should

have woke me up

when customers come in!

So you're blaming me

for trying to help you

help our baby be healthy?

Is that it?

Come on, Mel.

Sure am blaming you.

All right.

It's my job, not yours!

We'll figure it out, baby.

I'm gonna take care of you,

all right?

Yeah.

You pay for the nights

you stay here, okay?

There's no credit.

M-my wife, she can maybe help

clean some of the rooms?

Okay, yeah.

This is a job

interview now, huh?

No. I have a maid.

She's very good.

If you stay in your room

past next week,

I'm calling the police.

Hey, hey, Jimmy.

I got the rent, man.

Where's the other credit card?

Huh?

Credit card?

We got rid of them, remember?

Hey, do you guys want to stay

with me and Kristi?

No, thanks.

You can sleep

on the floor, man.

Richie!

I think I got something, Rich.

Aw, sh*t.

Hey, Mel?

What?

Think about it.

It could be a lot worse.

We could be this guy.

Ha ha.

Kind of looks like Edwin,

though, don't he?

That fish is way cuter

than Edwin.

Yeah.

Trust me.

God damn it!

How many times

do I have to tell you?!

Just go over there and

sit down and be quiet!

I have a f***ing headache!

I can't stand it.

I can't stand it!

Hey.

...double homicide

of a young couple

continues to create controversy

more than a half-century later.

In the Klondike,

the Hoffman Crew...

Where's Missy?

Sleepin'.

What about tom?

Workin'.

You got my money?

You're getting through it

over there, dad.

How did you hear

about the double homicide?

She got fired

from the Sunlight Jr.

That figures.

...way ahead of the Hoffman

team and the Dakota boys.

There we go.

So far this season,

his wash plant has produced

10 ounces of gold,

worth around $16,000.

You know, you got him

and her living here.

I'm gonna have to charge you

more money.

You realize that, right?

You got to do

what you got to do.

This dude rolling

his little wheelchair

all over the carpet.

It's wear and tear

on the house.

Hey, Justin. No problem.

I'll pay it.

I'm gonna come over and put one

in your f***ing head!

Oh, my God.

I'm gonna put one

in your f***ing head!

Get the f*** off me!

Motherf***er!

Come out here and control...

Rich!

Your silly ass boyfriend!

Rich! Get off!

Rich!

Get the f*** off him, Rich!

You've been stalking her!

He's been stalking her.

Good grief!

Yeah.

You wanted to start some sh*t?!

It's a whole another ballgame.

You know I got the

keys to this house!

Yeah? What's that

supposed to mean?

This is my house!

Hey!

You want some more? Huh?

F*** you!

F*** all y'all!

Go home, Justin!

Richie Barnes,

you act like you're 10 feet

tall and bulletproof!

Yeah, I am!

Sh*t!

Cody!

There's a big-ass mess

in the living room.

The Florida lottery

is celebrating

our 25-year winning streak

in a big way.

Hey, p*ssy!

Come back here!

I'll kick your ass some more!

Every make, every model,

with up to...

You see that?

I got him good.

Right in the choppers.

And up to $1,500

instant cash back.

You could drive away with

the money in your pocket.

Well...

Rich just about choked

Justin to death out there.

You think that's funny?

No. I don't think it's funny.

I don't think anything's

goddamn funny,

but it's better than crying

all the time.

That's what you used to do

when you were a little girl.

That's all you wanted to do,

just cry.

And now look at ya.

There's two men out there in

the kitchen fighting over you,

and you should be happy...

they love you.

That ain't love.

Well...

Rich doesn't hit you.

Never has.

So you did good there.

Hey, you want a beer?

No.

I'm fixing to eat.

Every time I look at you,

I see my pretty little girl,

miss.

So pretty.

Quit drinking whiskey, mama.

Hey.

You gonna make me

some food, too?

Yeah, of course.

You got some good ones.

Yep. That's my Richie.

Justin loves you, too.

Don't you forget that.

What are you saying?

Well, I'm just saying that,

you know, since his mama passed,

he's kind of come to Jesus

and he's taking better care

of Kyle

and he's taking care

of his property.

Yeah, and selling pills

to junkies.

Well, no.

I don't know nothin' about that.

You don't know nothin'

about nothin'.

Mnh.

It's nice to have a

real stove to cook on.

At the motel,

alls I had was a hot plate.

You know what's that?

Yeah, it's like, um,

one of them things,

like a little table

you plug in, right?

That's right.

It's what you use to cook

in jail with.

Can you get some plates, hon?

I want to check

these tater tots.

I love tater tots.

Oh, yeah.

You got to eat the fish, too.

That's where you get

your protein.

Rich!

Tell 'em dinner's almost ready.

Here, you want to flip 'em?

Thank you.

Be careful.

It's real hot.

That's it.

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

Help children in need

by attending the...

Rich?!

Come on! Dinner!

Will you tell 'em?!

Hey, Mel.

Can I get a beer?

Nope. There's none left.

Are you sure?

Here you go.

Yep.

Hey, Cody, can you go

run over to the fridge

and... and check on my beer?

I don't know why

you don't believe me.

I'll go.

Sit down, Cody.

83 degrees.

Call it partly cloudy.

74 right now at the airport.

Oh, sh*t.

How come I'm always

the last person

to know when we got folks

in the house?

No folks... daughter.

Him too?

Ah, leave Richie be.

He'll kill you in your sleep.

God damn.

Kathleen, I got enough sh*t

to worry about

without having a house full

of damn vagrants!

Just wait one minute!

Wait for what?

You come in here...

I come in here, yeah.

We have been here

all afternoon cooking!

I don't need all

these people in here!

You wouldn't believe

the amount of effort

that went into doing this meal!

It's mama's whiskey.

Don't tell her

I swiped some for ya.

Oh. Thanks, babe.

Yes, they have to stay!

There you go, Cody.

Thank you.

Hey, babe?

What?

I notice this one needs

a little help with her food.

That's Chloe.

I know who Chloe is.

Chloe, come here.

You gonna have some fish?

Come on.

You said you would.

I done.

You're all done?

Well, let's have

a little bit more.

Got to eat something.

Chloe? Come on.

I'm not hungry.

What?

Kathleen always tries to get

him to eat our food,

but he don't ever wanna.

Well, you want

some more ketchup?

See, if you put a lot

of ketchup on it,

you won't taste nothing

but ketchup.

It's real sweet.

He should go live

with some Mexicans.

Just try eating some.

I'm not hungry.

Well, all right.

Go on and put it

in the kitchen yourself.

Wait.

What's that?

You got bedbugs here?

I... I don't know.

Yep.

It's bedbugs.

Look at his legs.

It's on his back, everywhere.

Hey, Cody?

Why don't you?

What, do I got to ask twice?!
