I took for granted

that you would offer

to spend your life with me.

And I think I prevented you,

you know, from, you know,

doing certain things--

Career, 'cause I know

how important it is to you.

But, you know,

you gave it up

so you could be--you could be

at home with our son.

And, you know,

I know that prevented you

from getting to where

you wanted to be with work

but you never once single comp--

You know, one time

complained about it.

You know,

you just quietly accepted it,

because you were willing

to compromise for me.

And I took it all for granted.

And now I see you

becoming this whole new person

without me,

and that's the thing that's

just killing me, you know,

because I want

to be there, you know?

I want to be there

by your side.

And I know that I have

this kind of like--

put on this,

like, macho bravado,

and I never talk about,

you know,

my feelings

and stuff like that,

but nothing

makes sense anymore.

Nothing makes sense without you,

because, I mean, look--

You know, I know

that I am--I'm--

I don't think I'm anything more

or less than I see in your eyes.

And I--I'm sorry.

I--you know,

I wasn't there for you,

and, you know, I'm sorry

I went on

all these different times

about personal stuff at work

and--you know, I'm sorry

about that, you know.

And, you know--and I know

it's selfish of me to, you know,

Say that I don't want

to see you leave me,

but that's just it.

I mean, I want to know

about your day, Karen.

I want to know

about, you know, everything

that's going with you.

I want to wake up

with you next to me.

I want to know about

every last little minute detail

of your life,

because I am interested in it.

I know that this one single

phone call is not gonna--

you know, it's not gonna,

you know, fix everything.

I understand that

and everything,

but if you

could just understand

that I am gonna listen to you

from now on.

I'm gonna listen to you

about everything.

And I'm gonna change,

things are gonna be different,

and, you know, you don't have

to call me back.

I know how busy--I mean, you can

call me back if you want,

but we can also talk

about this stuff,

You know, at home

and everything.

But, you know,

I just wanted to--

Okay, so I love you

and, you know--

I hope you have a good day.

Um, all right, bye.

You have one new message.

First message.

Karen, all right, listen to me.

I screwed--

Message deleted.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

What time is it?

Um, about 10:
30.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

No, no, it's okay.

Um, this--

it was in the garbage.

Yeah, I'm throwing it out.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, it's--

it's my house.

It's nice.

Why do you act

like such a freak, Bill?

I guess...Just...

I don't know

how to be around people.

Well, I don't know,

you know,

'cause it seems like with you,

it's all just a show.

Yeah, you know, I don't think

this is who you really are.

The way you act with me

and other people and stuff,

I think you

just put on this facade

when you go out in public,

but, yeah, you know,

I mean, how are you gonna

expect people to get to know you

if you don't let them in?

You know?

But, um...

Eh, what do I know?

Well...

Yeah.

You--good night.

Night.

Want to keep it?

No, you can have it,

if you'd like.

Thanks.

Hey, hey!

Listen to me.

Look at me.

Why aren't you looking at me?

What? What do you want? What?

Why aren't you looking at me?

Look at me.

Hello.

You're lying to me.

No, I'm not.

Look at me. Tell me.

Hello.

I'm calling on behalf

of the giving hand foundation.

We're a nonprofit organization

dedicated to helping children

in need of food, clothing,

hygienic products, toys,

and other items.

There's gonna be a collection

truck on your street,

and we wondering if there are

any items you wish to donate?

You're a brat.

Why can't you

just admit it?

I don't think so.

We're a nonprofit

organization, ma'am,

So anything that we collect

goes directly into the hands

of a child who's--

Did you say ma'am?

Excuse me?

What?

I'm not a woman.

Oh, I apologize.

I-I'm sorry.

Can you hold a second?

You're being ridiculous.

Of course I'm not seeing

anyone else!

Let's have this out

right now.

Ma'am, are you there?

You little tramp.

Hello.

You're being ridiculous.

I'm sorry.

What were you saying?

If there's any old clothing

you could donate,

Some items

you may not fit you anymore.

No, I--

I really don't think so.

Sorry.

Then if you care

to make a monetary donation,

we also accept checks.

All the money we receive

goes towards purchasing items

for the children.

They have nothing, ma'am.

Some of the children

don't even have toothbrushes--

No, I really don't think so.

I-I'm sorry.

I've got to go.

Let me tell you

something, ma'am,

Every single penny helps.

I-I don't think so.

I mean, I'm sure it does, but--

Will you let me--

Can I finish?

I have to go. Sorry.

Okay, can I finish?

Can I just have your address...

So the giving hand

foundation can--

packet about our company?

It'll tell you

all about the--

Sorry, no, I have nothing.

Can I just have one moment

of your--

I'm sorry.

I'm hanging up.

One moment of your time.

I'm hanging up.

Good-bye.

there's nothing going on,

I swear.

look at me.

I don't believe you.

I'm not the one

who had an affair.

Stop it! No!

Ah! No!

Get away from me.

I thought we weren't

gonna do this anymore.

Don't even--

don't even pretend to--

Don't even--stop it.

Come here.

Honey, you promised me

that you wouldn't be like this.

Sadie, let's deal with--

Stop, you promised me.

Who the--

Come here.

Don't even start crying.

Come here.

Stop. No.

Deal with this right now.

Sadie.

I don't want to--

Sadie.

No, stop it.

Just settle down.

Stop.

Stand up.

Telling you to stop acting

like a baby.

Come here right now.

Don't--

We're dealing with this

right now.

Sadie, we're dealing

with this right now.

Come here. You stop lying to me.

Tell me the truth.

No, there's nothing to tell.

Come here!

Thank you so much.

You saved me.

Good.

A little bit.

Yeah?

Same stuff,

just more advanced classes.

Well, like what?

Calculus two.

Multivariable calculus.

You're taking that?

Multivariable calculus?

Yeah, you're

taking that again, huh?

No, why would i

take it again?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Larger and larger tracks

and ports were clear-cut

to bring new land

under the cultivation.

But without the trees,

The island's topsoil

soon eroded

under torrential

tropical rains.

Aware of

the impending disaster,
