You know, I’m about to get divorced.

I’m not really anybody’s type right now.

Well, she didn’t see any of that, you know.

l-| just-- | gotta tell you, this is--

Gavin. I’m not ready for--

You know, you're a vain, selfish,

risk-taking son of a bitch,

What do you say?

Chief, you’re making me feel like you’re my dad

without Keela around.

How long before her and Donald get back?

Oh, who knows?

You know, Donald has this idea that the dog is getting fat,

Mmm. | missed you.

We had somethin’, right?

Oh, yeah. So it’s over, then?

[SIGHING] | don’t know, you know?

It could be a big mistake for me. Marriage.

I’m not really the type. Oh, yeah.

Let’s go to your bedroom. Well, okay.

Can you just do one little thing for me?

Ooh, yes, baby. Anything. Okay,

call your fiancée, tell her we’re about to have sex,

you won’t be home till tomorrow

and maybe mention the little thing about,

you know, that marriage isn’t your thing.

Heh. You’re jokin’, right?

Uh, no.

In fact,

you know, my stomach would be

a little upset right now

if it weren’t for the fact that your predictability

is...strangely comforting.

What do | look like to you? Well, you look fantastic.

| don’t mean, "How do | look?" | mean, "What do | look like?"

Do you see a door when you look at me?

| mean, a door that you’re just gonna go through to escape?

You know, I’m not some

random means of destruction to end your relationship

because you don’t have the balls to do it.

I’m not gonna be used that way.

I’m not using you, Alicia. | love you.

Oh, don’t say that. | do. | love you.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Now you’re saying what | feel isn’t real?

Not what you feel. | mean, you have to make some choices.

| mean, how long have you known this woman?

A year.

A year? Yeah.

How many times have you cheated?

| never cheated on her. You’d be the first.

Oh, I’m flattered.

And she’s the first one

that you’ve given a ring to?

Yeah.

And why did you do that?

| don’t know, you know? She might be the one.

Well, then why are you trying to get me up into my bedroom?

Wha--?

Oh, sit down. Just sit down.

You love her.

Yeah.

And you think you want to spend

the rest of your life with her.

| think so.

But you're really scared.

Why? Huh?

[SCOFFS]

| don’t know. | mean, you know, what if it doesn’t work out?

What if | screw it up?

|-- Like you’re doing right now.

Hey.

Be brave.

[SIGHS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Well, who said she shot him?

Lesley. Garrity.

No, | didn’t. Yes, you did.

Yeah, you did. | said she stabbed him.

Mikey said you said she hit him with a gun.

Why would she do that?

Thought it was a kettle.

Didn’t wanna shoot him?

You said she hit him with a baseball bat.

How does a baseball bat become a gun?

Is this a trick question?

Hi, guys.

Ace. Hey. Hey.

What’s goin’ on? What's up?

ALL: Nothing.

What you talkin’ about?

You know, just shootin’ the shit.

[CLEARS THROAT]

You guys wouldn’t have, uh, been talking about

what went on between me and my wife, would you?

Nope. ALL: No.

Okay, let’s get it out in the open once and for all.

What exactly is it that you guys think

went on between me and Janet?

Well, there are several schools of thought on this.

Yeah. Yeah. There are those who think

that she stabbed you,

and then are those who think

that she hit you with a baseball bat,

and Mike thinks that she hit you with a gun.

Bingo. What happened to the tea kettle?

What tea kettle? Why would she hit me with a gun?

Maybe she didn’t have any bullets.

[STAMMERS]

SEAN: | don’t know.

Okay. Okay, you know what?

She ran me over with the car.

That’s what she did, okay?

After, you know, a pretty severe argument.

Bullets. Jeez, you got-- You know what?

You’re like a bunch of old hens sittin’ around.

Christ.

Well, what’s everybody gettin’ so excited about?

She ran him over with a car. Happens.

I’m in.

All right.

Hey, you all right?

Yeah.

You know, you need to, uh,

go out, maybe, God forbid, enjoy yourself a little bit.

Yeah.

Just, you know, if you gotta do that,

look both ways before you cross the street.

Especially in front of your house.

| don’t know, Lou.

[SIGHS]

Thought | was gonna be fine with this whole...

bein’ on my own thing, man.

And I’m not.

I’m just...

| don’t know.

Oh, look, you’re gonna-- You're gonna be fine, you know?

You just, uh, you know,

need to go off and, you know, have--

Have some fun, get out.

Maybe, uh...

Maybe have a date, a dinner date.

Yeah.

You and, you know, some dinner,

and, you know, a pretty girl.

Some candles, you know?

Lingerie.

Box of wine.

You know what?

You're right.

Of course | am.

Yeah.

You know what I’m gonna do?

I’m gonna call that Bally chick.

You know, Tom--

|-- You-- You-- You know--

You said it to me.

She has one of the greatest asses of all time.

| just took it for granted.

You know, Tom, here’s--

Here’s what | think. You know what | think?

Nona. | think that you should forget

about the past.

| think you should forget about it.

And you should s-start anew, you know?

Brand-new chick.

Why?

Brand-new chick,

brand-new set of problems.

Not to mention tits.

Give me the phone. Give me. Give me it. Give me it.

Why? Oh...

| don’t buy it, pal. What?

You're tryin’ to get me to date the chief's daughter.

No! No! Yes. Yeah. Yes. Yes.

| am, yeah. [SCOFFS]

Look, it’s a career move.

Number one, you’re taking out

the chief's goddamn daughter.

Two, you’re getting my ass out of the fire.

Number three, you’re winning very valuable brownie points

with Lou.

Okay, look, | Know | owe you 5 grand

from the Great Lou Depression of last year.

You take her out, I’m gonna pay you back

7 grand.

You take her out,

I’m gonna give you back

7500 dollars.

I’m gonna give you--

Ah, Christ, Tom, you know | don’t have that kind of money.

Why don’t you say something? He asked you first, didn’t he?

No! Yes.

No! Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yeah, | knew. | knew. Yeah. Yes.

Why don’t you take her out?

Because, Christ, Tom,

| just got off the goddamn sex express train.

You could obviously use a blowjob.

She gives blowjobs?

She’s Jewish. So?

Well, we all know that Jew broads give, you know,

great blowjobs.

We do?

Yeah, it’s common knowledge

among Jew and Gentile alike.

You never dated a Jew broad?

Well, once in high school,

but she was only part Jewish.

Which part?

Well, if what you’re saying is true,

it was obviously not the part from the neck up.

Oh, well, you gotta trust me on this.

Jew broads love to give head, and they love to give it easily.

| don’t know. Tappin’ the chief's daughter?

Career suicide. Tom, you’re not tappin’ her.

You're talking about a little blowjob.

He’s practically throwin’ her at your feet.

Yeah. And, you know, she’s kinda hot.

You saw her? Yeah, | saw a picture.

And? | saw it for like two seconds,

but, you know, she had blond hair and a--

And a-- And a-- And a nose.

And that’s a good start.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

She doesn’t wanna see you right now, Sean.

Not in the condition she’s in.

Yeah? Well, | don’t give a shit.

I’m her husband, and I-I-- Do me a favor, will you?

Sit down for a second.

Okay.

Listen, um...

[CLEARS THROAT]

...the woman’s got problems.

Jeez. You know, big, big problems.

Yeah. She’s been an addict

for as far back as | can remember.

[SIGHS]

She needs an intervention.

Yeah.

Yeah, uh, what is that, exactly?

An intervention is, well--

We sit her down in a room full of people that love her.

Okay. Everybody goes around the room,

and, you know, starts to share with her

how much her addiction has affected them negatively.

Oh, okay.

So | assume this goes on for, like, a couple of days.

Well, you know, I’d ask that you edit yourself a little.

You know, just try and pick out the worst occurrences.

Okay. Yeah.

So a few hours, tops.

Yeah.

We'll work on it. Okay.

The most important thing is,

you gotta tell her how her addiction has hurt you.

And then you express your concern for her.

Then, at the end, you know, we offer to send her someplace

she’d get some real help.

But the key is, if she refuses to get help,

| mean, you gotta be prepared to stop enabling her.

Mm-hm. Something’s gotta be

at stake here.

Something you’re willing to take away.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, So... Yeah.

... should she refuse... Mm-hm.

...what would you be willing to take away?

Uh... Whew.

Guess | could stop bringing her aspirin in the morning.

You know? When she’s hung-over. I’d stop making Manhattans.

She’s always complaining about how | go to heavy

on the sweet vermouth.

Come on, | make a great Manhattan.

Gotta be something a little more substantial than that.

You know, would you be willing, say, to not see her anymore?

To end the marriage?

Yeah, no. | already tried that.

That didn’t really stick.

That’s cause you probably didn’t mean it.

See, addicts have a way of knowing

just how much they can get away with.

You gotta mean it, all right?

Can you Say it and stick to it?

No, | don’t think | can.

Okay, then, um...

| got an idea.

Why don’t you write down

some of the things she’s done that have hurt you.

You see, you write it down,

might give you a little bit more perspective.

You know? You got a few days. Okay.

And believe me, you know,

she needs to hear this stuff or she’s not gonna get better.

Okay. All right?

All right, man. Good talk.

Her life depends on it, buddy.

Thanks, Mick. Hang in there, Sean-o.

Good to see you.

Okay.

[CLICKS]

So... [GIGGLES]

"So." Heh-heh-heh.

Well, what do you--? What do you do for work?

What do | do for work? Yeah.

Right now, I’m, uh, working for,

um, children, inner-city, you Know, kids.

Oh, that’s, uh--

Teaching them or--?

Yeah, | like to teach inner-city children how to, um,

you know, escape from the ghetto.

You know, things like that.

’Cause it’s such a hellhole down there.

Yeah, you know, my firehouse is-- Is up in Harlem,

and we do, uh--

We fight a lot of fires up there, and it is--

Once you get into some of those places

and you see the way people live, it’s--

You know, it’s just--

It’s tragic. Yeah.

[GIGGLES]

God, your hands are so long.

Your fingers. Yeah.

[CELL PHONE RINGS] Oh! Oh, oh. Heh.

That’s my phone. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

It’s so rude. | don’t normally travel with a phone, but--

But, um-- Oh. Uh. Hell-- Hello?

Oh, it’s my psychiatrist. Just be a second.

Hi. No, I’m on a date.

Um, he’s a firefighter.

Are you on any medication? [MOUTHING WORDS]

No? Okay. Um, no, | just--

Okay, but one quick question.

Um, so what you gave me before the Inbuteral,

that comes in a capsule form.

And you gave me that guillotine for pills,

and |’m afraid that if | use it on the capsules,

that those little beads will go everywhere,

and I’m really tight with money right now.

Uh-huh. Okay. So maybe you could--

Okay, you too. All right. Bye-bye. Heh.

He’s such a, you know, worrywart.

Yeah. Do you have any warts?

You know, |’m-- I’m gonna, um--

What--? What, you’re gonna go, uh, tinkle?

Yep. I'll be right back. [GIGGLES]

Okay. You'll be right back. You're coming back, though?

Yes, | am. You really are?

Leave something,

so | Know you’re coming back.

Just anything. Do you have anything you can leave?

Whoop. Johnny’s out of jail.

Every time | say something, she repeats it back to me.

Okay? Tom, that’s-- That’s perfect.

And she repeats it back, and you say, "Yes." Bingo.
