Once she sees you're awake,

and gets into her head that

she didn't actually kill you...

That's it, Stu.

You're out of chances.

You going home?

Yeah.

I bet you're a really good dad.

I can be.

Take care of yourself.

You too.

Hey!

Corey.

Yeah, I know, Francine.

I'm an a**hole.

Yeah, you are.

You know, why don't you

tell me why it is

that I'm such an a**hole.

I don't know.

I just...

I was just...

I have to stop doing things I'm

going to regret later, you know?

No.

Come on.

You're my brother.

I'm not your brother, Francine.

We lived in the same foster home

for two years.

We're roommates.

And yeah, you walk around here

in your underwear

and you're always leaning

on me and touching me.

I don't touch you.

We're not related.

It's not like it's illegal.

And you act like you've

never considered it.

We had sex your

first night at the house.

I was 16.

I had sex with anyone

that looked at me.

Well, some things never change.

You're really important to me.

Am I?

I don't... I don't

have anyone else.

I know.

Neither do I.

Then can't you just be

my brother?

Ah, f*** it.

I thought you were sleeping.

Well, this f***ing sucks.

I'll come back and visit you.

You're not coming back

to this shithole.

Shut up.

You know I'm gonna miss you.

All right.

So do I have to worry

about a little poke

if I give you a hug.

Shut up...

Ah, come on!

I'm going back to bed.

You have someone coming for you?

Nope.

You need someone to pick you up.

I'll manage, thanks.

Drizzling with an increased

chance of rain this afternoon

with thunderstorms the rest

of tonight and for the week.

47 degrees right now,

low tonight is 42.

I know you're standing there,

I can hear ya breathing.

I came to say goodbye.

That's right, you're leaving.

Well, be good.

There's a first time

for everything, right?

Yeah.
