The Gift Page #7
I thought that I was crazy,
and I'm not.
And you let me.
And I just realized
I have no idea
who you really are.
What can I do to
make it up to you?
You're asking the wrong person.
Our final question
is a bonus round question.
Which album was famously
introduced as testimony
in the Tate-LaBianca
homicide cases,
Los Angeles, in 1969?
- Also referred to as the "what" murders?
- The "what" murders?
Hey.
Gordo.
Simon.
How you doing?
Long time. I saw you up there.
Wanted to say hello.
Actually, I tracked
you down, okay?
I wanted to apologize.
Robyn and I were talking about
things that happened back at school.
About how I might not
have treated you so well,
and she wanted me
to bury the hatchet.
Or as you said,
let bygones be bygones.
And so...
So she wanted you to come.
No. Listen.
I wouldn't be here if I
didn't want to be here.
So I'm here,
and I'm apologizing to you.
- Well?
- Well, what?
You accept my apology?
You see, it's too late for that.
Got it. Okay.
You know, I was willing.
Were you, though?
Yeah. What the f***
See, you're done with the past,
but the past is not done with you.
What?
What do you mean by that?
It's a saying.
I know it's a saying,
but what do you mean?
Hey, I asked you a question.
Hey!
I gave you a chance.
I asked you a question.
Huh?
Hey, answer the question.
Accept my apology.
I said it's too late for that.
It's too late for you, Gordo.
Look at you.
Now I want you to listen to me.
I want you to
understand something.
Leave it. Leave it.
Listen to me. Listen to me.
Who you are is your own fault.
It's got nothing to do with me.
Okay? If you ever come near
me or my family again,
I will destroy you, you understand?
How'd it go?
I found him, and...
What did he say?
He...
He just seemed so
appreciative, you know?
And...
I'm so sorry.
I'm really sorry.
But it's definitely over.
Thank God.
I'm so sorry, honey.
For everything, you know.
Yeah. Me too.
Speech!
Who I would like to
say is my successor...
- Speech.
Speech, Simon. Come on.
A man who's synonymous
with hard work, with integrity,
with just being a kiss-ass,
but nobody that I can honestly
think of better to fill this position
and a man I'm very proud to
call a great man and a good friend.
Orthus' new National Divisions Sales Rep.
It's all because of you.
Speech. Speech.
All credit goes to Kevin.
Truly, without you
it would not have happened.
Thank you. Do you hear?
He said, "All credit goes to Kevin."
And just, you know,
I'm happy and I
love you and I love him
and love you guys...
Better speech.
Oh!
What the hell was that?
- Was that a branch? Are you okay?
- It was big.
Somebody does not want
you to give a speech.
You just jumped.
You jumped so far.
- I don't know what that was.
- What was that?
- Was that the glass?
- Careful.
What the hell?
Turn the light on.
- Did it get you?
- No. No.
You okay?
You okay? Call the police.
- I think that was a rock.
- Holy...
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- You guys all right? Hey.
- Is everybody okay?
Hey.
Call the police.
Guys...
Okay, careful.
Turn that off.
It's gone, whatever it was.
You have to file a report.
What was it?
Guys, stay back. No,
guys, stay back, stay back.
Simon!
Simon! My God!
- Stay back!
- Simon!
Be careful!
Watch out, watch out! Stay back.
Watch out.
Guys, stay back, seriously.
No.
Jesus! My God.
Who the f*** are you?
Jesus, Danny, what the hell?
Who the f*** is this guy?
- Get off!
- Do you know this guy?
Yeah, it's Danny McDonald!
- F*** off.
- Guys, guys. I know him.
- It's Danny McDonald.
- F*** off!
Let him go. Come on.
You're the one who cheated me
out of the job,
I f***ing know it
was you, mother...
Hey, hey, hey.
Get off me, get off me!
Hey, hey, hey.
I saw the e-mail, you a**hole!
Saying you knew people
at my old firm, yeah?
Who the f*** did you know
at Parker and Fitch?
You fabricated all
that sh*t, admit it!
I lost my job because of
you, you lying a**hole!
Who the f*** did you know?
No, no.
- Oh, f***.
- Hey.
No, no, no.
Please, come on.
No, no, I can't
get arrested, please.
It's okay.
No. No.
Let him go.
Go ahead, let him go.
Let him go.
Go ahead.
I think this is happening.
- Okay.
- All right, let's go.
- This is happening.
- Simon?
It's happening.
Get your keys.
Is anyone blocking you in?
Let's go get your bag, okay?
- Okay.
- You all right?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm fine.
Hey, Kevin, how are you?
Simon, we need to talk..You free?
Yeah. I've got
a second, what's up?
I was doing him a favor.
This guy had a bad track record.
Look, Simon, it kills me to be
calling you today of all days, but...
Kevin, listen to me.
I just had to warn you.
They know the stuff about Danny
was fabricated.
They want your office cleaned out
by the end of the week.
Jesus, what a f***ing mess.
You know, I went to bat for you.
Buddy, I gotta call you back.
I hope you understand.
We're going to work
this out later, okay?
Save your breath, all right?
This is final.
I'll call you later.
With what they're giving me? Sure.
No problem.
I'm surprised you're still talking now.
You should go home
and get some sleep.
I'm going to go get
you that tea, okay?
Okay. Thank you, Lucy.
They're nice people, aren't they?
Lucy and Ron?
Reminds me, I should
probably go check on Ron.
See how he's doing
with the window.
Maybe take a shower
for the both of us.
See if Ron's open
to taking care of Jangles
for a couple of days.
- Sounds good.
- Okay.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Call me if you
need anything else.
Simon?
Hmm?
I don't... I don't want to go
back to that house.
God, this isn't easy, Simon.
Especially now.
I...
I don't want to go back
to that house with you.
You...
Okay.
and we'll talk.
I'll be right back.
I'll tell you why he doesn't have a wife.
He'd like to be married to you.
He'd like you to be his wife.
- Oh, God, Simon.
- Yep.
Come on, honey. This guy likes you so much.
Tell me you don't see it.
Come on.
I really don't think
that is the reason why.
- Stop.
- Come on, honey.
Why all the drop in's and the
stop by's only when you're home alone?
I think he's obsessed with you, honey.
I think he wants to nail you.
I think he wants to be me,
wants to move into the house.
He wants to play mommies
and daddies with you,
the creepy little f***er.
I'm Gordo the Weirdo.
What?
Crazy little pee-pee,
pee-pee pleasey-weasy.
I'm Gordo the Weirdo
and I want you all to myself.
- Can I have you?
- No.
- Can I have you, please?
- Why not?
- Why not?
- Because you're disgusting.
I came to say...
Congratulations.
What happened to you?
Uh...
Did Simon do that to you?
He just...
I don't know what's
going on with him.
He just went crazy.
Boy or a girl?
He's a boy.
I'm very happy for you.
Good people deserve good things.
