" Maybe you're just not cut out for the insurance business." " I didn't call anybody a name." " I've got at least three witnesses." " Which." "She asked me to move a box, there were two, I didn't know." " Okay, sure." "I think it's fair to say we gave you a shot." "Give my regards to your mother." " Did you love her?" " That was a long time ago." "All right, Sam." " Oh my god." "You'll never believe who has been texting me all day." "I told him, I cannot talk to him while I'm at work, he's like, gets all insecure if I'm not texting him back." "He's such a girl." " With the Malibu look, we want the feeling of a fresh kissed cheek, and a smoldering lip." " Frank's bringing a friend tonight." " Heaver liner says you won't be carried away on any old breeze." "It frames the look for sophistication." " You're going to give him a chance." " Another friend?" " Guys like prince charming don't just show up." "They're not perfect from the get go." "I have to stop smoking." " We're quitting again?" "Sandy gold tones and sunset pink light up your eyes." " We can't stay roommates forever." "We have to be grownups with men, husbands." " As long as the numbers on the bottom of the color start with, with a..." " Don't you wanna meet somebody?" " I met somebody today." " You did?" "Where?" " On the train." " You talked to some guy on the train?" " For over an hour." " Sounds like a guy with time on his hands." " He has a job." " Did you give him your number?" " He's an architect, he's German." " Did he ask for your number?" " I'm gonna see him again." " On the train." " Yes." " Just give frank's friend a chance." " You've been smoking." " They're not mine." " How did they get here?" " How did you get fired?" " What did mills tell you?" " Can I hear it from you?" " We didn't get along so well." " What does that mean, a man, a woman?" " What did mills tell you?" " May I hear it from you?" " She was wasting my time." " Didn't you get paid by the hour?" " She misheard me." " What did you really say?" " I said, "which?"" "There were two boxes, I didn't know, which?" "Date tonight?" " It's worse that you lie to me." " It's not my fault, mills said I'm just not cut out for the insurance business." " What, did they teach him that in management school?" " Yes, I asked him." " Your favorite, general Tso's." " Where'd you get it?" " New price, my compliments." " Tea, please?" " Oh, you've eaten here before, I know you don't tip." " I was thinking I could stay here tonight," "I mean, we could watch TV, the two of us." " I'm going out." " The girls?" " A friend." " Why don't you just call him your date?" " Why don't you go eat your dinner." " I could wait up." " You know, there's a reason you don't live here." " What's that?" " Why don't you go eat your dinner." " No more jobs, mom." " So, I'm supposed to pay your rent for you?" "You think you have a right to that?" " Take them." " They're not even mine." "Lock the door on your way out." " Frank here's the best." " Oh, guitar concert." " And I play the bass, I'm the bassist for the band." " Yeah, he's the best bassist." "Dude." "The stadium is packed, everyone's going nuts." "They're going crazy." " And then they rush on stage and they go oh, that's the greatest guitarist, greatest guitarist ever." " Oh, okay, now we're breaking stuff." "Okay, just intermission." " Oh, ladies on stage." " The groupie comes in, the groupie's then like the main, like the fan, and you're so sweaty." " You're really beautiful, you know that?" " I have a really sensitive gag reflex." " Hi, Sam, my name is Harvey," "I got a call from your mother saying you might be looking for work." "Why don't you." "Your mother said you really loved old people, is that true, Sam?" " You have a lot of pictures." " Hm, that's nothing." "You see those?" "Those are full of pictures of me and my clients taken over the years." "Most of our clients are old bachelors, old spinsters, childless, loveless." "I wouldn't recognize half the people in these pictures because that's the only time they ever smiled." "Those are the ones that mean the most to me." "You really have to love old people to work in this field." " I don't think I'd be here today without old people." " You're not really cut out for this business." " That's funny, most people wait to fire me before they tell me that." " Most people are just looking to fill their staff as simply as possible." " You and my mom dated, huh?" " A long time ago she broke my heart." " Yeah?" " Yeah, I was surprised to hear from her." " It's really something else when they smile, huh?" " Yeah, it is." " Maybe I could give it a try." " This is Harold Washington library, state and Van Buren." "Transfer to red, blue, purple and brown line trains here at Washington library, state and Van Buren." "Doors closing." "Transfer to..." "This is an orange line train to midway." " Susan." "Welcome home." " Hi." " Do you know that frank and I have been together for a few years now, I mean on and off, but now we are back on again, and I'm pregnant." " With a baby?" " We were getting older, I mean this could be my last chance to do this, and I can't explain it, you just see things" "differently when it happens to you." " I guess I wouldn't know." " Obviously, I mean, I need to make some changes." " Changes?" " Well, we're gonna be moving in together and we're gonna need a second bedroom." " You're moving out of our apartment?" " Yeah, I know that this has been our apartment, but first it was mine, I mean I was here first." "I'm on the lease." " But you're the one who needs more space." " Well, I mean, there's no need to rush, we still have time." " When did you tell frank?" " We've known about a week." " That's just the other night." " The other night?" " I was going to the bathroom and he walked in and then when I came out, you know what, forget it." " Forget what?" " No, forget it." " No, forget what?" " It's just, you would expect husband material to go back into your room and wait." " You were naked again, weren't you." " Just going to the bathroom to pee." " We have talked about this." " Sorry." "Still." " You're a little liar." "I think you should pack up your shit sooner than later." " I don't have anywhere to go." " By tomorrow." " Hi, I'm Sam, I work for Goldenpal." "Goldenpal?" "Goldenpal." "I work for Goldenpal." "My name is Sam Gordon." "My name is Sam, and I work for Goldenpal." "My name is Sam, and I work for Goldenpal." " Hello." " Hello, Mrs. white." "My name is Sam, I work for Goldenpal," "I brought your grocery order." " Where's the usual guy?" " This should have been here two days ago." " Ah, you know how to do it." " Mr. hill, check food supply, make sure light bulbs work." "Right." " Who is it?" " Hello, Mr. hill, my name is Sam, I work for Goldenpal." "I brought your grocery order." " Who the hell are you?" " Sam from Goldenpal." " Where's the regular guy?" " I'm the new regular guy." " Yeah, how do I know?" "This food could be poisoned." " Why would anybody..." " tell them to send the old regular guy!" " Mr. hill." "Ow." "Jesus." "Fine." " Transfer to Metro trains and the south." "Doors closing." "Transfer to Metro and south shore trains." "This is an orange line train to midway." " You really let this place go to shit." " I wasn't expecting you." " You knew when my plane was landing." "The men in Paris are a lot neater, that's for sure." " You should have taken me with you." " Don't be jealous." " I don't really have a couch." " You burned it." " Thinking of all those Parisian men made me crazy." " Now where are you gonna sleep?" " Here, wait." " Don't you have a dresser?" " I burned that too." "You can just move things into the corner." " Where'd you put the trash can?" " Okay, actually, those are all collectibles." " Do you not want me here?" " No I do, but," "you ripped my bongo man number three." " Bongo man?" "Looks racist." " He's the most racist superhero ever created." "It was worth 20 bucks." " I just wanted my space for my things." " Okay." "Sorry, I, here, let's move some of my things over." "You smoke." " Nope." " I'm really against smoking." " I don't smoke." " Where'd you get these?" " This guy gave them to me on the train." "This homeless guy, he was doing this mime show, you know, for spare change, and he couldn't do the mime while he was holding his cigarettes so I held onto them, then he went to the next car," "and there was my stop, and I figure I'd probably run into him again on the train, so I've been carrying them around." " He didn't have any pockets?" " You don't want me here." " I didn't say that." " He rides the blue line all the time." " My name is Sam." " I can leave." " I don't want you to leave." " They're his." " What's your name?" " Susan." " Susan?" " Susan." " The homeless mime guy!" " You've seen him." " All the time." "I'll tell you what, I'll hold onto these, and when I see him again, I'll give them back." " Good idea." " Let's unpack you." " Who is this?" " That's my dad." " I like his mustache." " He left when I was little." " Did you know him?" " He was a great actor." " What was his name?" " You haven't heard of him, he was a Soviet." " That explains the mustache." " Soviet theater, you rehearse the same play for a year in all kinds of conditions." "You immersed yourself in the material until it was part of your soul." " Are you an actor?" " No." "He left me a book." "Elements of acting." "It's out of print." "Is this your family?" " No." "It came with the frame." " You're kidding, because I would believe it if that were you as a little girl." " She just came with the frame." " It looked like a real family, there's a definite resemblance." " Maybe they're a model family." " That's strange, these are all the same people except they're older." "Maybe they're marketing it as a more mature picture frame." "I hear they do that, older families, more mature frames." " That must be it." " I wonder what happened to the mother." " How should I know." "Is this your guitar?" " No." " Oh, too bad." "I always wanted to know a musician." " It's my friend Toto Sobieski's guitar." "Hold on, I think he's around here somewhere." "Oh, Susana, it is I, Toto Sobieski." "I have come to play a song for you." " Pretty good." " Pretty good." " Yeah, it was all right." " Rule number one of Soviet theater, you must perform in the adverse conditions." " What are you doing?" " Grab a tray, come on." "It's gotta be cold." "Sing for me, sing!" " I don't sing." " I'm standing in a tub of ice water for you, sing for me." " I don't." " Jesus, I'm cold." "I know this place isn't up to your standard." " Well, I am a princes." " You look like a Princess." " I am a Princess." " Princess from where?" " Hungary." "I'm a Hungarian Princess." " I've always wanted to host a Princess." " Obviously built your life on that dream." " I'm really glad you're here, you're a very beautiful woman." " Can you turn out your light?" " Sorry, I'm making this awkward." " I sleep naked." " It was the damn neighbor's cat came in here, peed on the floor." " That's funny, all the windows are shut." " Did anybody ever tell you, you've got a nice looking ass." " Mr. hill, it's Sam from Goldenpal." "I have your groceries." "I'll just leave it here." "Mr. hill?" "Mr. hill?" "Mr. hill?" "You really ought to keep your windows locked." "Mr. hill?" "Mr. hill, it's Sam." "Mr. hill?" "Mr. hill?" " You cut your hair." " You're thinking of the old, yeah, I cut my hair." "Do you maybe want some lunch?" "Let me help you with that." " It's sort of a reversal, isn't it." " How do you mean?" " You feeding me." "I guess it was your mother who did most of the feeding, wasn't it." " I'm not your..." " you always wanted a father, and now all I want is my son." "Go on, yell at me." " What for?" " Look what I did to your mother's house." "What would she say?" "She'd say, over my dead body." "I guess she had the idea that I would die first." "Go on, be mad at me." " Why don't you have..." " yell at me!" " Just one forkful." " Be mad at me!" " Dammit, this place is filthy." " Ah, that's not what you're angry about." " What am I angry about?" " About how I treated your mother." " Why am I mad about that?" " Well, you loved her, didn't you?" " Of course I did." " Tell me how mad you are about how I treated your mother." " I'm mad at you..." " for once, call me dad." " Dad, I'm mad at you for how your treated my mother!" "What's that smell?" " Stuffed cabbage." "It's an old family recipe from Hungary." " That's my shirt." " I know." "What do you think?" " Pretty good." "It's really good." " It's the royal recipe." "I learned it from my grandmother." " What's in it?" " I can't tell you, it's secret." " I definitely taste onions." " No, there's no onion." " And paprika?" " Paprika." " I taste paprika." " Paprika, of course, it's Hungarian." " Sorry." " No, it was a stupid thing to say." " I'm sorry." " You always make the dumbest observations." " It tastes good." " Einstein thinks there's paprika in my royal Hungarian stuffed cabbage." " I ran into the mime today." " Who?" " The mime on the train." " Oh, the mime." " I gave him back his cigarettes." "You're welcome." " Oh." " And I come home and you berate me." " It's just I saw him too." "And he was trying to do his mime but he couldn't because he had to hold his cigarettes, and nobody else would take them." " He should really quit smoking." " How was work?" " Sort of a rough day today." " I get so jealous." " You get jealous?" " All those ladies at the office dangling themselves on you." " All the ladies are elderly." " And you take such good care of them, feeding them, wheeling them around." " Want me to wheel you around?" " I'd like to be taken care of." " Well, it's awful that a Princess has to work." " These days, even a Princess needs a trade." " I forget what trade you're in." " Cosmetics." "I'm an international cosmetics consultant, why can't you keep that straight?" " I get confused." " I bet you've forgotten again already." " We should put on some music." "Where'd you put my cds?" " I assumed you had them on your computer." " I don't have a computer." " You don't have a computer?" " Where'd you put 'em?" " We needed space, I sold them." "It's 20 dollars, it makes up for the bongo man." " You sold all of my music for 20 dollars?" " They said they were gonna throw most of it out." "It's for bongo man." "Everybody has a computer." " How long are you planning to stay here?" " You want me to go?" " Your family is royalty." "They probably have a lot more things to destroy at their castle." " I don't have a castle." " Still." " I can't go back." " Why not?" " There is a man..." " a man, like a suitor?" " I'm royalty on my mother's side, she passed away, my father lost his claim." "He wants me to marry back into nobility." "But I don't love the man he wants me to marry, so I had to leave and I can't ever go back." " Your father won't let you come home?" " Not ever again." " So then you're not a Princess really any more." "I'm sorry." "I just like to listen to music." " Maybe Toto Sobieski could play for us." " Toto isn't here tonight." " I miss Toto." " Cowboy Griggs might show up though." " Who's cowboy Griggs?" " Hold on, I think I hear him riding up now." "My father's second rule, you have to be able to scream the words out loud." " He's very rich." " Who is?" " My father." "Someday, when he's gone, I'll be rich, and if you want, if you keep me around, we'll live in a castle." " A castle?" " Wherever you want." " That'd be nice." " Keep me around." " It's that darn cat..." " I know, the cat." "I'll say something to the neighbors." " That's what I wore the night I married my ex husband." " It's very pretty." " You should see it on." " Mr. hill?" "Mr. hill." "Mr. hill." "It's getting a lot better." " Over my dead body, she would have said." "She said, you know, she isn't worrying about us." "Say it." " Say what?" " She's dead." " She's dead." " Who's dead?" "Say it." " My mother, my mother is dead." " She was my wife." "Don't you think I miss her too?" " I'm sure." " What do you want?" "An apology?" "What should I apologize for?" " I don't want..." " what should I apologize for?" "Tell me and I'll apologize for it!" " Mr. hill." " Call me dad." " Dad." " Tell me what to apologize for." " You abandoned us." " I worked, I supported you." " You supported me?" "You never even knew me." " I'm sorry." "Forgive me." " Okay." " I always loved you." " I cleaned out your bathroom." "I should probably move on to your bedroom." " Don't bother about the bedroom, it's filthy." " But wouldn't it be nicer to sleep..." " I sleep here." "Don't go in there." "It's too filthy." " Come in." " Hi." " Another late night." "You having trouble with the round?" " No, I'm just getting to know some of the customers." " You know, we're only licensed to bring 'em groceries, household chores, we're not insured for anything else." " Yeah, I know, I guess I just really like old people." " Oh, I'm glad somebody's having fun." " You know, if you ever need any help with the desk stuff," "I mean, if you felt like you wanted to teach somebody." " You keep charming clients like Mr. hill and I'll have to make you a partner." "Go on home, get some sleep." " I know how you like a picnic." "I can cook for you over fire." " Just like old times." " Just like our first spring together." " Was it this cold?" " Colder, but the fire kept us warm." " And we had the whole park to ourselves because nobody else was crazy enough to be out here." " It wasn't crazy, it was romantic." " It rained on us." "I told you it would, but you insisted on staying out." " It didn't rain, you insisted it was going to rain, but it didn't." " We were soaked, when you brought me home," "I caught the flu." " It wasn't the flu, just a lot of whining." " It only sounded like whining because of the laryngitis." " Do you remember the look on your face when you realized you hadn't brought self lighting coals and we had no lighter fluid, and it was cold." " That's when I pointed out to you that hotdogs are precooked." " And I asked if you could possibly be serious." " Until you realized that cold hotdogs taste great." "Like bologna." " Until it made me puke." " No, that was another time, you loved the cold hotdog." " Our recollections differ." " That's when Honolulu Fred showed up." "And now I will scream the words out loud in an adverse condition." " Remember when it started to rain so you took me home?" " But first, I reminded you of my father's third important rule of performance." " What was that?" " You have to do the thing that scares you the most." " What scares you the most?" "It's raining." "I'm gonna get in the shower." "It's freezing cold." " I'm sorry." " What are you sorry about?" " For getting you wet." " You forgot one last thing about that day." " What was that?" " That was the first time we kissed." "Are you embarrassed of me?" " What?" "No." " You still haven't introduced my to your mother." " You want to meet my mother?" " Really?" " Really what?" " Ask her what we should bring." " Mrs. Rantoni?" "The front door was unlocked." " In here." " I'm just gonna drop your food in the kitchen." "Mr. Vaughn, I made you a sandwich." "Darn cat, huh?" " Darn cat what?" " Let's find you some fresh pants." "I should probably head out." " So, Susan, what do you do for a living?" " I sell makeup for Chichino." " Oh, you're a Chichino lady." " You have such a beautiful complexion." " I hate my skin." " If I may, I think you use too much bronzer." " I'm so pale otherwise." " Pale is beautiful." " Maybe you could come by and make me over sometime." "Oh, that must be the food, Sam." " I got it." " Here." " No, mom, I got it." " Okay." "So, how did you two meet?" " At the grocery store." "I couldn't reach the breakfast cereal that I wanted." " I can't believe he just brought you home, you're already living together." "How long have you been dating?" " A week." " A week?" " I feel like I know so much about him." "He told me all about you and his father." "I hope someday his father comes back to the United States so I can meet him." " His father?" " Soviet acting is so intense." " Soviet acting." " His father is an actor in Russia." " When I had Sam, it was a very bad time for me." "I was a junkie, sweetheart, I slept with a lot of men." "It would have been nice if one of them had known how to act." "Maybe they would have acted nicer." "I don't know who Sam's dad is." "Neither does he." " Okay, we have egg roll, broccoli." " Sam?" "Your mother said something to me while you getting food." " She really likes you, I can tell." " It was about your father." " Oh." " She said she doesn't know who he is." " I don't know why she would say that." " Do you know him?" " He left me the book." " Your mother said she was a junkie." "I make up stuff about myself sometimes to make people think stuff about me." "Maybe if you told me something you were making up about yourself, I could tell you something" "I was making up about myself." " You lied to me about something?" " No, not to you." " What did you lie about?" " All I'm saying is if you told me you were making stuff up about your father, maybe I could tell you something." " Just tell me what you lied about." " I didn't..." " I don't wanna live with a liar." "You can't stay here in my apartment if you're a liar." " I'm not a liar." " Rule number four from the book, always tell the truth." "You can't break that rule." " I'm not an actor." " You're not a Princess." " No, I'm not a Princess." " Those people in the photos, they're your family." " Yes." " What happened to your mother?" " She died." "My father killer her." " He killed her?" " They used to fight a lot." "My father would drink, she would hide his bottles the one place she knew he wouldn't go looking for them, under my bed." "Then he'd go out to the bar instead." "He'd come home still thirsty." "One night he came home and they started fighting again." "Money, work, then finally, "where's my bottles?" ""Where's my bottles?"" "Mom made swear not to tell him, so I lay in my bed." "I stayed there as the screaming got louder and louder." "And then it changed, it was a different scream." "It was a scream you had to make stop like when a baby cries." "So I went under my bed, I found a bottle," "I took it to the kitchen, and my father was standing there a knife in his hand, blood dripping." "Mom was crumpled in a heap." "He looked at the bottle, he looked at me." "His eyes were blank." "There was nothing in them." "They ruled it temporary insanity." " What happened to you?" " When my sisters were older they took care of me until he came back." "But when he came back, I couldn't be around any more." "I couldn't feel safe." " Is that the truth?" " Maybe sometimes it's better not to know your father all that well." " My father was a great actor." " Okay." " I don't believe you." "I don't believe anything you say any more." "I want you out by tomorrow." "Mr. hill?" "I really prefer not to do this." "Look, I know it's not standard operating procedure, but maybe give me a key?" "Mr. hill." " Oh, I got dizzy." " Let's get you into bed, can you stand up?" " Where are we going?" " I want to show you something, your bedroom." " No, no, it's filthy." " Your bedroom is clean, Mr. hill." "It just needed a little dusting." " No, my chair." " You need to lie down." " Stop." " The bed is made and everything." "It'll be nice and comfy." " No no, just let me go." "Freda." " It doesn't sound like the hill family's gonna sue." " I get it, I fucked up." " I told you, we are a food delivery service." "We do chores." "We're not licensed to provide medical assistance." "Why didn't you call an ambulance?" " You're firing me, it's not a big deal, you're not the first." "It's just the first job I actually cared about." " I'm not firing you." "You made a mistake, learn from it." " You have to fire me." "I fucked up, I get fired." " I am not firing you." " I killed a man, you have to fire me!" " You want to get fired?" "Fire yourself." "Quit if you like." " Fine." "I quit!" " What are you doing here?" " Who's that?" " He's my guest." " Is Harvey my dad?" " I'll be going." " I'll call..." " sure, sure." " Did you talk to Harvey?" " Did you get fired?" " I quit." " What happened?" " I killed a client." " What?" " I gave him a stroke." " Oh, you can't give somebody a stroke." " He didn't have to die." " You didn't get fired?" " No, I quit." " What did Harvey say?" " It's pretty obvious I'm not cut out for the job." " Harvey didn't say that." " He said, "you want to get fired, fire yourself."" " That's how he talks." " You've been smoking again." " Mel must have left 'em." " Mel smokes slims?" " I guess he does." " If you're smoking, say you smoke." " I'm not smoking." " Because if you tell me you don't smoke and I know you're smoking, how can I believe anything you tell me?" " Because I tell you it's true." " Whereas if I know you're smoking, and you tell me you smoke, I won't be happy, but I'll know you're honest." " They're not mine." " Whereas if you tell me you're not smoking and I can smell it on your clothes and on your hair," "I know you're lying." " I'm not smoking." " Is Harvey my father?" " How is this supposed to make me feel?" "Did I not work every day of your childhood to clothe you and to feed you?" "Did I not still squirrel away money so at Christmas time" "I could buy you presents?" " Is he?" " Don't you think I wanted you to have a father?" " It's him, right?" "Is it Harvey?" " Where did you get that?" " In a book in your closet, elements of acting." " In college, before I dropped out." " Is it him?" " That's me." "That's my dad." "You never met him." "A father is somebody who sticks around." "Nobody ever stuck around," "I couldn't get anybody to stick around." "Not even him." " Harvey didn't stick around for us?" " Harvey was a counselor after you were born, before I got clean." "He couldn't help me, us." "I wasn't ready." "And I wouldn't let him help you either." " Are any of those guys, any of those bosses you sent me to, any of them?" " None of them." "Why won't you believe me?" "You know, sometimes people lie." "But sometimes you should believe them." " I think," "I think I fucked up." "Susan?" "Rockford." "Hi." " You're back." " I love my job, I don't wanna quit." " Okay." " Can I borrow a Van for the weekend?" " Yeah?" " I'm looking for Susan." " Who says there's a Susan here?" " That is not how we answer the damn door." "Can I help you?" " Is Susan here?" " And who might you be?" " I'm from Chicago, my name is Sam." "I'm a friend of Susan's." " A friend?" " Get out, Vera." "Susan's got a dude, get in here." "Susan, you didn't talk about Sam." "Susie, wash your hands, wash your hands." "I'm her sister, Lily, and this our older sister Vera here." " Hiya." " That's Jason, my husband." " Sorry about the door." " This little one here is grace, my daughter, and my older daughter, Tara, is probably running around out back somewhere." " I believe you." " You're here to rescue me?" " Rescue you from what?" " Somebody at the door?" " You're in trouble, dad's coming." "Hey, pops, Susan has someone she wants you to meet." "This is Sam." " He can stay for dinner." " They're just so cute." " Yeah, they're cute." " You just wanna eat 'em up." "You know, just something so cute you just wanna eat it all up?" "Like chop it into a salad." "Their little fingers, little ears, just eat 'em up." " Yeah, I got ya." " You take my little girl and I'll chop you up into little pieces." "Wait, that come out wrong." "I don't mean 'cause you're cute." " No, right." " I meant the part about taking my little girl." " I understand what you were telling me." " Ooh, it's a beauty." " Oh, she's done it again." " Mmm, look at that." " Mmm." " Dad, you wanna say grace?" " God, we thank you for the blessing of this food, and this family." "Couldn't bring my Lorna back to me, but you brung Susie back and it's like Lorna's here in spirit." " Amen." " And lord, thank you so much for this nice young man." "Maybe he'll make an honest woman of my little girl one day." " Dad!" " I'm just saying, you're a good guy, welcome." " Thanks." " Now, son, the way I carve these things, what I like to do is start with the leg." " Ooh, look how juicy." " These two have such a nice aura about them." " Don't they?" "You could stay here, Jason could help you get a job." " Maybe some sort of a starter job." " He can't just leave his practice behind, he's got patients." " You're a doctor?" " He's a therapist." " I'm an occupational therapist." "I help people in the place they occupy." " Well, there's plenty of crazy people here." " Yeah, I dunno, maybe I could." " What about all your patients?" " We don't wanna lose our Susie again." " Seems like we're always losing our Susie." "Remember that time in the field?" " Oh god, mom almost had a nervous breakdown." "She was sick." " Dad, tell the story." " It was back when I was still driving the truck before the sciatica made me useless." "I was coming through Iowa, and on the Cb" "Susie's mother told me that Susie's lost in the corn." "Yeah." "Never so scared in my life, I put the pedal down on the floor, and grinding the hell out of the gears." "I got here in two hours." "Pulled up right on my lawn." "I was hugging her crying mother." "I didn't notice how high the corn was, if we went in there, we'd never even be able to find each other." "A couple of moments later, like a vision, she was walking out of the cornrows in her little summer dress." "Even then she looked just like her mother." " It must tear you up with guilt." " Well, we found her." "All's well that ends well." " No I mean, the mother, Lorna." " Guilty about what?" " After she, after you, well, I mean, it wasn't on purpose, it was an accident, sort of." " What was an accident." " When he killed her." " Susan?" " He's right, we all know." " Dad, don't say that." " Come on, kids." " What did you tell him?" " I couldn't give her what she needed." " Dad, don't say that." " I didn't love her hard enough." " Dad, it was the cancer." " Dad, please don't get sad again." "Mom's here with us tonight, you said so yourself." " Cancer?" " What did she tell you?" " You told me he killed her." " I know it, he's right." " Dad, you did not kill mom." " Did you say that?" " Of course not." " Why would you say such a thing?" " It's not true." " I'm sorry, I, I must have misheard." " Jeez, dad." " No no no no please, it's okay, it's okay." " I came here to rescue you from a psychotic man who you ran away from, but it was just another story." " What do you care, you don't know these people." " I feel humiliated." "They hate me." " You lied to me too." " When I was in third grade, I was convinced my math teacher Mr. Barney was my dad." "He had a little limp, so I started limping too." "When I was in fourth grade, I was sure is was my gym teacher, so I lost the limp for a strut." "I remember believing it was the mailman." "Local beat cops, guys at stores, any grown up man" "I met more than once." "Then one day, my mom was working some late shift on a third job, and I was going through her closet," "I found the book, the photo slipped out, and I just..." "I get it, it was just easier, but I believed it." "It's stupid, I see that." " It's even worse, you lied to yourself." " At least I have a reason." " I had a reason." " A reason for calling your own father a murderer?" " You said it yourself." "You only followed me because you believed me." " So I came." "Why am I here?" " You shouldn't be." " Is somebody gonna apologize to dad?" " You didn't do anything, you know that." " Hey, I just wanna say, I think I got confused." "I have a lot of patients." "Sometimes I get stories mixed up in my head." "I realize now that something one of my patients said, not Susan." " You ruined dinner." " Hey, he comes in peace." " Look, it's not a family meal unless there's a dust up or two." "It's not a big deal." "Don't worry about it." " There you go." "Daddy, will you play guitar for us?" " Okay." " Jeez, then I'll build a fire." " You can sing." " It's her voice, I swear." " It's like she's back." " She's the prettiest of all of 'em." "She looks so much like her mom I could cry." "I'm not ready to lose her again." "I'm not ready to let you take her away from me." "Don't take her away." " It's morning, it's morning!" " Tara, cut that out." "Sorry about that." " Making breakfast?" " No one else will make it." " What's in your hair?" " Why are you still here?" " Your father, last night, he was in the hallway, he..." " Look at you." "Dad, look." " Where did you get this?" " I kept it in my drawer." "You don't like it?" " What is it?" " It was mom's." "Doesn't she look beautiful?" " I need some coffee." " So how did you two meet?" " We were at a baseball game..." " we were on the train." " Well, which is it?" " Her hand brushed mine." "When I felt that touch, that was all I needed." "I followed her home, I would have followed her to the gates of hell." " Aw, that's sweet." " Bit creepy." " I just thought of something." "Do you remember, we took a road trip, it was my idea." "It was an unusually warm April." "I said I can get us a car." "Let's go to the dells, let's go camping." "You said it might rain, but I insisted." "Do you remember?" " The forecasts, they all said rain." " I was stubborn, I get a tent of storage," "I borrow a car for work." " You threw out the cigarette lighter so I wouldn't smoke." " I'm not gonna think about that now," "I hate myself for that." "I had to control everything." " You wanted me to be the best." " We sit in that tent for three straight days, it never stopped raining, we never stopped playing cards." " Gin rummy and I beat you every hand." " God, I got so angry." " You like to win." " I wanna go back." "I wanna put you in the car." "I wanna save you from the mud, and the wet." "I wanna roll up the tent." " Leave the tent, it's all muddy." " Stop at a diner on the 94, get some hot split pea soup." " I hate split pea soup." " You like split pea soup." " No I don't." " I wanna make you warm." "I wanna take you home." " Please."
