So she gets Carl to call a local buddy,|run Randy's license plate...
and put out an official APB on|us.
you gotta hand it to her,|she always gets her way.
And it's not sex appeal.|She's beyond sex, like amoebas.
Don't give him any names.
Anyway, some cop somewhere spots|Randy's car...
which is at least gonna liven|things up as far as I'm concerned.
Because frankly, I'm starting to|think Randy's missing more than a ball.
Hotel phone calls are too expensive,|and we can't afford it.
We can't afford it, 'cause you spent|$4000 on a f***ing bike yesterday.
Would you watch your language,|please?
No. Why don't you watch my language,|I'll watch my money.
I want the rest of it back.
It's the husband's job to decide|what happens with the money.
Bible boy, you're not my f***ing|husband!
Now give me my money.
This is what happens when you talk|to your mother.
You get all worked up,|bent out of shape.
I'm going home.
You can't go home, Dedee!
There will be a ticket at the|airport for me by five.
Come on, you gotta stay here with me!|I prayed on this!
Pray on this, you freak.
Come on, I got your gun here!
That's great. What are you gonna do,|shoot me, shoot yourself?
You don't treat me fair.|That's a lot of driving up here.
You asked me to come, I came.|No stopovers or nothing.
I'm just asking you to stand by your|man like I'm standing next to you.
A lot of guys would've said,|"Shucks, she took up with that|homosexual."
"She turned her back on|righteousness."
How about blowing you in the|backseat of your car every day after|band?
That was a stairway to heaven,|right?
You waiting on somebody or|something?
Yeah, the guy from the bike shop.
He's coming to take it back.
The bike.
Don't worry. I'll leave you enough|money to get back to Louisiana.
- I just don't intend to be--|- God damn it, Dedee!
Why are you acting this way?
I think you hurt the baby.
What did you think,|I'd be the dead one?
I'm the f***ing narrator, guys,|keep up.
It would be a lot easier|for all of us right now|if Randy was someone we hated.
But he was nice mostly. Even I|liked him.
So in order to get you to swallow|it and not totally hate me...
I'm gonna show you something|that happens in, like, five hours.
He had a very enlarged heart.
He would've lived, I don't know, not|more than six months.
At least he died quick, never knew|what hit him.
He looks peaceful, probably an|orphan.
But it's still murder.
Just not as unlikeable.
What is that, only one ball?
It's me!
Come on, it's me Matt, open up.
I'm so glad you're here.
I know you don't wanna go back|to Indiana to have the baby.
No, I do. Indiana, Louisiana,|I don't care, let's go.
You mean that?
He's a jerk, I can't stand him.
It's not like we fight--
Who's that?
That's Lucia, Bill and Carl.
Who's Carl?
A friend from back home, a sheriff|from town. That's how we found you.
Can I talk to you inside for|a minute?
Sure, yeah.
What are they talking about?
You think they're just talking?
Yeah, I do.
You think you're being nice, but|it's really just self-destructive.
When is it too hot to analyze me...
a hundred and ten, a hundred and|fifteen degrees?
You've got a death wish.
It's so selfish.
I have one, too,|but I direct it toward others.
Lucia, look at this.
Randy Cates, it's Palm Springs|Harley.
I'm here to get the bike|like your lady said.
Stay here.
Of course.
That's their room.
Were you looking for Dedee Truitt?
They're not there.|Kick it, kick it in.
Harder. Do it again.
- You guys in yet?|- It's Carl.
They're not in here.|We'll be right down.
They won't get far.|They put an APB out and mug shots.
We're not talking without a lawyer.|Say nothing.
Poor kid.
You still think she just needs a|little love? She's a murderer now.
We don't know that yet.
You better hope she's a murderer.|Otherwise Matt is.
We'd like to ask you to stay in Palm|Springs for a few days.
Really? Are we under arrest?
At our expense, of course.
Must have a nice budget.
Carl Tippett, St. Joe County|Sheriff's Department, Indiana.
A colleague.
I'm checking in.
I said I'm sleeping.
Come on, Lucia, let me in.
It's open.
Good. My delivery from 1-800-PITY.
We shouldn't be alone,|not after the day we had.
Any news?
I went down to the station.|They found the motorcycle.
They sold it, probably bought a car.
Don't worry, they'll find them.
I can sleep really well, then.
Where's Carl?
I don't know, bed?
Yeah, I bet.
Like you give a sh*t.|Like this is incendiary material.
Does this have any effect|on you at all?
What am I supposed to say?
I could dance around you naked.
Vagina, vagina, vagina.
Does that word do anything for you?
I don't think it does much for anyone,|gay or straight. It's too clinical.
It's like dentifrice for toothpaste.
It's so f***ing ironic.
Do you know what my mom said when|she found out Tom was gay?
She said, it's such a lonely life.
She said that to the single straight|girl. Isn't that funny?
I don't know, I just don't...
I don't get sex.
You should get out more.
I mean, I don't understand sex.
I don't get it, get it?
It seems like a lot of trouble for|not much.
Am I the only one that thinks this?
I don't think you're the tip|of an iceberg, frankly.
I would rather have a back rub.
It lasts longer,|and there's no fluids.
What's so great about that?
It's like, "Hi, I'd like to blow my|nose on your face."
You wouldn't like that, would you?
And after they do it,|they never phone you.
Or a shampoo.
Just a really great shampoo.|That would make sense.
If you were chasing this a**hole|all around the country|because he gave great shampoos...
It's not just sex, I care for Matt.
It is sex, Bill.|You just won't admit it.
'Cause you wanna be above that.
You wanna think that nothing that|happened happened because you like sex.
I'm really beat.
Sex kills, Bill.|You won't accept that.
But why do you think there are no|more real Hawaiians?
And why would they even come up|with the phrase "died in childbirth"...
if it only happened one time?
It's f***ing dangerous, sex.
Tom didn't die because of sex.
Didn't he?
PC crap aside, didn't sex kill Tom?
If he just couldn't get enough|shampoos or back rubs...
wouldn't he still be here today?
You might as well say I killed him.
You didn't give it to him.
No, but some other f*ggot did,|isn't that what you think?
What I think is fine...
chase this bimbo from Indiana|to Chippewa Falls for all I care.
Go ahead, throw away your|reputation...
your job and your students,|whatever...
because you want Matt.
It's your right.
Just don't say that it's about love,|okay?
You're an English teacher.|Call things by their right name.
Okay, fine, fine.
Vagina and sour f***ing grapes.|Class dismissed?
What is it?
I heard. I'm sorry.
Is there anything I can do?
Here. I bought you some beer|at the Seven-Eleven.
I needed shampoo.
Are you okay?
I have a headache.
I give good neck rubs.
