"Yeah, I mean at the service." "I mean, just, it seems kind of strange... that I wouldn't say anything." "I don't think it's strange." "So you don't think I should say anything?" "I don't think you should say anything if you don't wanna say anything, no." "Mm..." "I think I'll say something." " Good." "Go ahead and say something." " Yeah." "Wish I could help you write this, but, you know..." "Fuck, he treated us so different, right?" "It'd be like we were talking about two different people." "Hey, you remember Lenny Potts?"

"[sighs]" "Well, what is it?" "You afraid of something he's gonna say, or what?" "I don't know." "I just..." "I just don't think your father would want Danny to speak." "Well, Dad's not here, and Danny is." "[sighs]" "I don't even know what the hell I'm gonna say." "Well, it doesn't have to be perfect." "Well, it would be nice to be able to say something about him that people don't already know." "He always said his childhood was shit." "He never talked about his childhood." "Well, what you don't know, he didn't want you to know." "He didn't like people feeling sorry for him." "How bad was it?" "Come on." "He must've told you stories over the years." "A few." "He grew up on a cattle ranch." " I knew that." " It was supposed to be a cattle ranch, but his grandfather was a shit businessman." "He was a shit everything." "Do you know your father never finished high school?" "He told me." " Do you know why?" " Because he was a shitty student." "[chuckles]" "Yeah, he was too busy getting into trouble back then." "But that's not why he didn't graduate." "Why didn't he graduate?" "You remember Gram?" "Bits and pieces, yeah." " She wasn't his real mother." " No, she was his stepmother." "He liked her better than he liked his father, which wasn't necessarily saying much." "But one day, I don't know, it might have been Memorial Day weekend." "I know there was some kind of a barbecue." "Anyway, your father was off somewhere, and when he came back, he couldn't find his stepmother." "What do you mean, he couldn't find her?" "Where was she?" " Why do you wanna hear this?" " Mom, tell the damn story." "Come on." "So he couldn't find her." "He didn't think much of it at first." "Then he went out in the backyard and your grandfather was standing at the grill flipping steaks, and they were all burnt." "Black and charred." "But he just kept sticking them with that grilling fork and flipping them over and over again." "He must've been drunk." "Anyway, that's when Robert knew that something wasn't right, and he went back in the house, and he asked your Uncle Tuck and Aunt Lynn if they knew where she was." "And they were just little kids then, and they were too scared to say anything." "Scared?" "Why?" "Well, he didn't know why." "But then I guess he heard some kind of... moaning and crying... and he realized it was coming from the cellar." " The cellar." " Your grandfather locked her down there." "Your father let her out and saw that her face was all..." "Well, what?" "Smashed up." "Her face was all smashed up." "Blood, broken nose." "So, what did he do?" "Did he call the police or...?" "No, it was rural Texas, late '50s." "And they wouldn't have done anything." "So he went back outside to confront your grandfather, and they fought." "They went at it." "And what happened?" "Your grandfather cut him with a steak knife." "And your father... he snapped." "And he grabbed the grilling fork, and he stuck it in your grandfather's throat." "[♪♪♪]" "He said he almost killed him right there... but somehow he stopped himself." "He told me... he had two little holes in his throat, like he'd been bit by a rattlesnake." "He used to laugh about that." "Found it funny somehow." "Then he backed off and, uh..." "He left, and I don't think he ever came back home again." "He told me once that... if he didn't get out of there, he would have killed the son of a bitch." "That's why he never finished high school."

" Are you serious?" " I didn't want her here." "It was my decision." " [Danny] Hey." " Sucks, bro." "Is that all you can say?" "He just lost his dad." "[Danny] Don't worry about it." "It's okay." "But you guys didn't have to come." "Come on." "You kidding?" "When something's lost, something else is gained." "[Eric scoffs]" "I know it sounds like bullshit, but I believe it." "Yeah." "Thanks, Chel." "Thank you." " What are you gonna tell people?" " I'll say she was too upset." "I don't know." "I'll say something." "I don't know." "[Sally] Hey, Belle." "You gotta be fucking kidding me." "[♪♪♪]" "[ukulele playing]" "[John] Thanks." "My father didn't talk much about himself." "He told stories." "Yeah, about being in the Navy... about the Keys... what it was like before the tourism boom." "He told a lot of stories." "But he didn't talk much about himself." "And if you think about that, it" "It says a lot about him." "Christ, this is a lot of pages." "My brother Danny told me that I should wing this." "And at the time, I thought it was a bad idea." "[all chuckling]" "What the hell." "Look... to me my dad was a..." "He was a god." "Maybe every kid is..." "Feels that way about his dad." "But mine..." "He actually created a world." "This." "This." "Every" "Everything around here... he created... out of nothing." "Because when he was 17 years old and he left home... because all he had...was nothing." "People ask me, uh..." "All the time, they ask me if I'm gonna take over the family business." "And I think to myself, uh... you know, what would that be like?" "To live like Dad?" "Walk onto that porch and look over my...kingdom." "But I will never know that feeling or that pride... because I didn't build it." "He, uh..." "Heh." "He ruled his kingdom." "He could be tough." "He could be hard." "[♪♪♪]" "He had a vision for the family, and he knew exactly what he wanted us to be." "If you didn't-- If you didn't toe that line, or you didn't live up to that vision, you, uh... [man] And how old are you, John?" "[young John] Fourteen." "[♪♪♪]" "Well, you know, he, um..." "Dad expected the best from us." "Because he wanted the best for us." "Everything that" "Everything that I have, everything that we all have is because of him." "[inaudible]" "He made me who I am." "And now my brother Danny, uh, he'd like to say a few" "Well, I know how he feels." "I know how we all feel." "And we'd like to thank all of you, everyone... for coming out and paying your respects... to our father." "[people chattering]" " [Sally] Excuse me a second." " [man] Go ahead." "[Sally] Thank you both so much for coming." "We really appreciate it." "How's your mother?" "I asked you not to come here." " This is what I'm talking about." " Here we fucking" "Right here." "You see what you're doing?" "No, tell me." "What'd I do wrong now, huh?" "You were the one who left me." "We should be out there with your" "What am I doing?" "We should be outside with your family right now." "And instead you drag me in here to throw a fit." " You're acting like a child." " I'm behaving like myself." "This is me." "This is the man you married." "Not Marco." "Not John." "Not your father." "What?" " I shouldn't have said that." "I'm sorry." " What?" "What did you say to me?" "I'm sorry." "I shouldn't have said that." "[sighs]" "Get out." " Just" " I mean it." "Just get out." " Kevin, I'm sorry." " I need to say goodbye to your family." " Get out." "Get the fuck out of my family's house." " How's your mother?" " She's not so great." "She's got tubes coming out of her nose, wheeling a tank like a poodle on a leash." "Oh, I'm sorry." "[Chelsea] She would've liked to have been here." "Wouldn't have been fair to you." "She'd be hammered by now, so..." "It's a disease." "[sighs]" " You okay?" " Mm-hm." "I know that wasn't easy for you." "Oh..." "I was just a little distracted is all." " You did amazing." " Thanks." "There he is." "Bobby's boy." "Detective Potts." " This is my wife, Diana." " Nice to meet you." "Just like your father." "He always got the pretty one." "Back in the Navy, me and Bobby, we'd pull into port, head into town." "Five minutes later, he would be surrounded." "You could not see him through a fog of skirts." "[John chuckles]" "I can see that." "I appreciate you coming." "I'm truly sorry for your loss." "Both of you." "[Diana] Thank you." "Detective Potts was with the Sheriff's Department for, what...?" "I left in '87, and I understand you found a badge." " Yes, sir." "I did." " Hey." "Maybe Detective Potts can help you with your case." "I'm sure Detective Potts has more to do than worry about what I'm up to." "Oh..." "You'd be doing me a favor, please." "He needs to talk to someone." "Well, I don't know why you'd wanna pick through this old brain, but buy me a drink, I'm happy to listen." "Well, sure, that'd be great." "I'd appreciate it." "Thank you." "[chattering]" "[Meg] Hey, are you okay?" "I'm sorry." "Just sad about Robert." "Listen to me, telling you I'm sad." " He was your father." " No, it's okay." "Do you need anything?"

"[cell phone buzzing]" "[Alec over phone] Hey, Meg, is everything okay?" " You need to stop." " I heard about your father." "I've been trying to reach you." "I told you I cannot talk to you right now." "I just wanna make sure you're okay." "What the fuck is wrong with you?" "I'm at my father's funeral." "I didn't know that." "I'm sorry, Meg." "You know what?" "Don't call me ever again." "[Potts] Danny." "I don't know if you remember me." " Yeah." " Been a while." "I had forgotten how clear this water is." "Yeah, it's something." "Whole place, one big coral reef." "That's right." "Well, hey, I'll let you have your peace." "Wanted to let you know how sorry I was about your father." "That's all." "[rock music playing over speakers] [talking indistinctly]" "You think they have something going on?" "Now there's a perfect couple." "What happened with you and Belle?" "Ooh, ours." "Mm-mm."

"I told you not to tell anybody." " He's my guy." "He doesn't count." " Fuck it." "I don't care." "I honestly-- I don't give a shit who knows." "I don't." "Fuck it, because I'm free." "Did you guys fight?" "I've never seen her like that." "All this time, I thought it was me." "What I wasn't doing for her." "It was all my fault." "But what I realized is that it's not me." "It's her." "It's what she wants, you know?" "It's what she needs." "Fuck it." "I'm free." "Uh, I know you're free," " but you sure you want another one?" " I'm free." "So this case..." "Yeah."

"I became a policeman because of you." "[laughs]" " You're blowing smoke." " No, no, no, my..." "You know, my dad talked about you a lot." "He made you out to be like John Wayne or something." "I don't know if you remember, but you took Danny and I to the gun range one time." "We thought you were-- We thought you were a badass." "That's what we called you, Mr. Badass." "Hmm."
