You Can Count On Me Page #4

Sammy this is my wife, Nancy

Hi, it's nice to meet you

Brian, I gotta sit down

Yeah. Sure, let's go in my office

I'm fine!

Brian? Yeah?

Mom

Rudy!

Look, I am really glad

you guys are getting along so well

like you have no idea but

if I can't rely on you...

to remember to get him once a day...

You can!

You took him to play pool

in the middle of the night...

and then telling him to lie to me about it!

I don't know

Get out of the car

What are we doing?

You're going to Carol's and I'm going home

Why can't I come with you

Because if you're such a baby

that you gotta tell your mommy...

about us playin' pool when I asked you not to

And I gotta listen to her sh*t all day...

then you're going to the babysitter's

so you can stay at the baby house

But I didn't...

You know what? Don't even f***in' talk to me

I didn't!

Get out

You're working late

How did your wife like the bank?

Oh fine. She wasn't feeling so great

That's too bad

Oh no, I don't mean... She's not ill

She's just... I don't know

Pregnant

Yeah, that's right. She's pregnant

Well it can make you kind of cranky

Yeah

Look, I'm sorry we've been

stepping on each other's toes

Yeah, so am I

I'm really not that bad of a guy

I know you're not, Brian

But you're driving everybody crazy

Well, I'm trying to do my best here...

and I'm getting it from all sides

I know you are

Anyway, we'll work it out

Well, I could use a beer

I could use a tranquilizer

Last I heard, Rudy's Dad was living over

in Auburn. But that was a year ago

Must be so tough trying to raise a kid

on your own

I'm not sure but I think my wife

It's just hormones

Well, no, it isn't. But never mind

Thanks. Thank you...

Well, here's to improved

employee-management relations

Amen

You know you can't judge all of Scotsville

by the people in that bank, believe me

Well umm, let's... let's not talk about the bank

Okay

Let's just forget about the bank for tonight

Good idea

Sammy? Sammy!

Yeah?

I want you to tell me who changed

the colors on my computer screen

I'll never tell

Bob called

Where were you?

Nowhere, I had dinner with my boss

Kind of a late dinner, isn't it?

Yeah

How was Rudy?

Fine, he's asleep

Did the plumber come?

Yeah the f***ing plumber came, geez...

Terry, just give me a break

What's the matter with you?

Nothing! I'm just tired

Want to smoke some pot?

No, I don't. Why, you got some?

So... Bob asked me to marry him

What are you going to do?

I don't know

if he'd asked me this same time last year...

I probably would have said yes

But the minute he asked me...

it was like someone was trying to strangle me

Whoa, bad sign

Yeah, I know. Plus, Terry, I f***ed my boss...

What?

I know, and his wife is six months pregnant

Jesus Christ, Sammy

I know. I know

I'm sorry I got so ma at you before

I just don't want him...

you know, terrified of telling...

Well, that's not real his problem, Sammy

Oh? What do you think his problem is?

I think his problem is, he's totally sheltered...

you treat the kid like's three, instead of eight

So that's how he behaves

And how do you think he should behave?

I think he shouldn't have to run and

tell mommy...

every time he does something

she might not approve of, for one thing

Uh-huh

I mean, I took him to play pool

It was a little clandestine thing we did for fun

It wasn't a big secret, I mean, you care

I was actually trying to be nice to him

but he's so freaked out...

that he disobeyed your orders

that he has to f***in' squeal on me...

and then I got to listen to your sh*t all-day

And I didn't f***ing do anything

Okay, first of all, he didn't say anything

Darryl did. Okay?

Second, I don't give a sh*t

if you took him out to play pool

I was mad 'cause you left him

at the bus stop in the rain

No, I don't want you telling him not to squeal

Because I don't want him put in that position

Well that, is a perfect example

of what I'm talking about

You are an idiot

So what are you saying? Darryl told you?

Yes!

Sammy, please see me

Good morning

Yeah, good morning

Could you shut the door please

Brian, I just wanted to...

Brian...

You're awfully quiet

I'm sorry

So have you thought at all about what I said?

Sure, I've been thinking about it

So, any decisions, or...

Do you want to think about it some more?

Well I mean, I don't know, Bob

It's not like we've been going steady for

the last few months. You know what I mean?

Yeah, no... I know...

And then we see each other twice

and you suddenly say you want to get married?

No, you know, you're right

So what are you tallking about

I don't know... I umm...

Last year, I thought that maybe you were

possibly

interested in that idea but I was the one...

who was ready at that point

So that's why I thought things slow down

with us

Don't make me feel bad for you

I don't want you to feel bad for me

It's Brian

Brian, where are you?

I'm buying milk, I just thought I'd say hello

Look, I know it's probably too late, but is there

any way you can come out for a little while?

Brian, I think you're going crazy

I know I am. Can you meet me?

Umm, okay

Umm, I have to go out for a little while

do you want anything?

Like what?

I don't know

Where are you going?

Yeah, where you going?

I have to go out for a little while

Where? Yeah, where?

I'm going to Mabel's house

Why?

You know what, Rudy? It's personal

It's a personal matter

That has to do with Mabel

And I just have to go

see her for a little while

Listen. Listen

I'm sorry I said you squealed on me

I was totally out of line...

and I really owe you an apology

Did you hear me?

I don't care

What's on your mind, Sammy?

Well, a lot. But principally...

I was just wondering if you had an opinion

If you know someone, in your family

or even just someone you really care about...

and they just can't quite get a hold of

themselves

So, guess who these are for?

Me!

That's right, my little friend

Hello, we're going fishing

I got a new rod and reel, five lures...

a hat, a knife and a fish scalier

That's great, sweetie

I'll get it

Well, I'm not really sure why you're here, Ron

I know I haven't been the model citizen

since I got here

But considering how things have been

going for me lately...

I thought I was doing pretty well

And I also find it kind of discouraging

that you seem to think that I'm...

in need of some kind of spiritual guidance

or what have you. So much so

that you're willing to disregard the fact that

I don't believe in any of this stuff at all

Well I didn't mean to discourage you

I mean it's really kind of insulting

Can I say something here?

Sammy asked me to come and talk to you

because it's her opinion that

you're not gonna find what you're looking for

the way you're looking for it

How would she know?

I'm really not here to try to get you to do

anything, or to get you to believe anything

And I'll tell you the same thing I told her
