Get yourself
a nice, big
umbrella, friend.
You're in the middle
of a major *** storm.
That gay prick
shoots his mouth off,
and pisses all over the memories
of those good men
that died down at Ground Zero,
and I'm the bad guy?
You didn't have to
beat the living crap out of him.
He's in a coma, you know.
Now, hold on.
A medically induced coma.
The doctors put him there,
not me.
Oh, good.
That makes a difference.
He threw the first punch.
You got a witness to that?
There were plenty of guys
down there
that saw what happened.
I'm sure one of them
will step up.
You better hope.
You're gonna need
all the help you can get.
Mayor's office
is sniffing around,
newspapers
Headquarters
will cut you loose,
use you as an example
to show that they're not afraid
to discipline a senior officer.
This could be it for you, pal.
Can't you call somebody?
I called
everybody I know.
You call somebody.
Like a good lawyer.
Meeting's over.
Look, chief, you got to--
I said, the meeting's over.
"Crash! The sky is falling.
"Crash!
"A shower of glass and fire.
"Crash!
"My maker's calling,
but I won't answer
his heavenly choir.
"
Another "crash"?
One more.
Across the line!
Let's go!
Two-line pass!
Change!
Hey, watch this kid
right here.
Right here.
Number 12.
He's fast.
He skates good.
Nice move.
Put it in,
put it in, put it in.
Nice!
- That's why we don't have probies.
- Why ?
They all think
they're frickin' Bobby Orr.
Guess what.
They're not.
Kid got his first grab
last week.
One month out of probie school.
If he pulled me out of the fire,
I'd give a ***.
The annual cop game's
coming up.
We've lost
two years in a row.
All right?
I'm not losing again.
I need kids with balls,
not kids who skate
with blinders on.
Kid's got balls.
He just needs some coaching.
Well, you coach him.
I'm here
to beat the cops.
Look, me and you,
we're co-captains,
right?
There's no you.
There's me.
I have 14 years
on this team,
five more than you.
That means
I got seniority.
Yeah?
We both got As on our chest,
okay?
Yours got voted on, all right?
As far as I'm concerned,
the A is honorary.
Might as well
stand for "***.
"
Hey, 12!
Change it up!
All I'm saying,
the kid's got speed.
We ain't getting
any younger, you know?
Yeah, you're out there huffing
and puffing like the big bad wolf.
Oh, and you're not, huh?
Yeah.
Hey, rook,
you're done.
Leave your jersey
in the locker room.
What did I tell you, huh?
You ain't skating alone
out there.
Keep the jersey
and show up
for the game anyway.
All right, but he
just told me to--
What did I just tell you?
Now, screw.
KANSAS
Calm down, huh?
You're gonna be fine.
Calm down, my ***.
Pencil pushers downtown,
the red tape,
it'll be months before
you hear anything.
By that time, the whole thing
will have blown over.
I don't know.
The Grinch is making this sound
like it's the end of the world.
Well, he would.
I mean, so this gay guy's
in a medically induced coma.
Billy's been in one of those
for years.
Hello?
See what I mean?
You're gonna be okay.
Thanks, Lou.
Hmm.
This is ***,
Tommy.
Yeah, I know, I know.
We need that probie.
He's fast.
I'm working on it,
okay?
Yeah?
Tommy, hey.
It's your brother
Johnny.
Listen, man,
you got to lay
a little cash down
on Damian.
- Catch up with you later.
- What?
Look, he says
he knows for a fact
his computer virus
screwed up Roger's office
for at least three days,
and he deserves
to be compensated.
What, I have to be the bagman
for my own godson?
Yeah.
Five bills, bro.
F--? Five bills?
Forget about it.
Tell him to kiss
my white Irish ***.
I'm not paying
this guy 500 bucks.
What is he, nuts?
The balls on this kid.
Yeah, well, he says
if you don't pay up,
he's gonna
tell his mother.
How's that?
*** it.
All right.
Tell him I'll pay it.
Oh!
Sorry, Gavin.
I didn't see you there.
Son of a ***.
That was a good choice,
you know?
Drop the cabbage off
this afternoon.
- He'll be home after 3.
- All right, fine.
Hey, you, uh?
You talked to Dad
lately?
- No.
Why?
- Give him a call.
I talked to him last week.
He sounded strange.
Strange how?
Tommy, just give him
a call, all right?
- All right.
- All right.
Talk to you later.
Bye.
Uh-huh.
See you, guys.
- Yeah, see you.
- Yeah.
Hey.
Hey.
How's it going?
Great.
Andrew.
Andy.
Yeah, yeah.
I remember.
What are you
doing here?
Waiting for you.
What's up
with dinner?
What?
Our dinner.
We haven't scheduled it yet.
Hey, listen,
you got to let me
buy you dinner.
You saved my life.
So, uh, how's
your week looking?
Bad.
Aw.
Yeah, I-I-I got this--
I just made
the department hockey team,
and I got this big game
against the cops,
and I got practice,
and all kinds of--
Mm.
Mm-hmm.
It's just bad.
Busy guy.
Hey, don't worry
about it, buddy.
It's okay.
I'll just, uh
I'll check back in next week
and see how your schedule is,
okay?
I'll call you.
You have my number?
Yeah.
I got your cell phone.
Why, do you have a home phone?
No.
Um, I can't afford it.
Good luck with your game.
Yeah.
You're the best.
I'll call you.
Three and two
is the count.
Yeah.
Hey, Dad.
Oh, how you doing,
Tommy?
Good.
Yeah, you want to talk
to your mother?
- Is she good?
- Yeah, yeah.
She's upstairs.
How you doing?
Oh, I'm doing good.
I'm just watching the Astros
get the *** kicked out of them.
Great.
Clemens pitching?
No, no, uh
that other piece of *** is,
Pettit.
Couple of mutts.
I hope the two of them
get skin cancer.
Not enough to kill 'em.
Just enough to keep them
out of the lineup for a while.
I don't know, Dad.
I think
most ballplayers nowadays
wear sunscreen, you know?
Well, okay, then.
I'll call you in a couple days.
All right?
Okay, son.
Bye.
reports
and warnings
Hey, how'd it go?
Good.
Well, pretty good.
Captain of the team's
kind of a jerk.
Yeah.
Tommy?
No, the other guy.
And Tommy.
Oh.
I like hockey.
I could never play,
though.
I got weak ankles.
That's not the only thing
you got that's weak.
What does that mean?
Nothing.
No, what does that mean?
It was a joke, Shum.
Well, what are you
saying?
Like, I got weak knees?
No.
Arms? What?
I was talking
about your mind.
I'm saying you got a weak mind.
You know what, Franco?
Do I *** all over you
all the time?
I don't understand
why you're such a prick.
Hey, girls, do I have to
separate you?
He said I had a weak mind, Lou.
Yeah, like he's pulling that
out of thin air.
PTSD?
What's this ***?
"Headquarters is sponsoring
"a post-traumatic
stress disorder seminar.
"If anybody would like
to discuss their feelings
"about 9/11
"with members
of the general public--"
Let me see that.
You know, like this
is going to help anybody.
Bunch of *** crybabies.
Probably still broken up
about the Hindenburg going down.
Hey, what's the Hindenburg?
It's, uh, one of
the space shuttles?
Hmm.
Gentlemen of the jury,
I rest my case.
What jury?
Damian?
Hello?
Damian?
Hey, Uncle Tommy.
Jesus.
You scared me.
Hey, is your mom home?
Not yet.
So how about that virus, huh?
Am I good or what?
Yeah, that was great.
I just sent
a second virus through.
That's two more days of misery
for Roger.
Oh, and the second one's
on the house.
- No charge.
- Heh.
So
got my money?
Well
I appreciate what you did.
You did a great job for me,
and, uh, it was terrific,
but, uh,
I'm not giving you the money.
And I'll
tell you what,
it's not
about the cash.
It's about
the principle of the thing.
I'm your godfather.
I'm in charge
of keeping track of you now,
and making sure
you do the right thing,
and the right thing
in this particular circumstance
is not to give you the money.
Cool?
Great.
See you.
I'm telling my mom.
Okay.
Let me explain this again.
Um, I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll-- I'll give you the money,
but I'm not gonna
physically give it to you.
I'm gonna put it
into an account,
and when you're 18 years old,
you can do whatever you want.
Mm.
I'm gonna call her right now.
All right.
Put that away.
Look, you asked me
to do something illegal.
I did it.
Now you got to pay me.
I'm not paying you.
Oh, no?
Well, my mom
is the least of your worries.
Oh, really?
Yeah, there's
the legal system,
and the fire department.
Oh, and Aunt Janet.
She'd be pissed
if she found out.
You want some yogurt?
I can only get 300 bucks
out of the ATM.
That's okay.
You can owe me the rest.
I trust you.
You know what, kid?
I was at your christening,
and I didn't drown you, okay?
So let's think
about who owes who, all right?
Hey!
Hi, you!
What are you
doing here?
Hey, Mom.
Just catching up.
You want a hand?
- Yeah.
- Uh, you know what?
Actually,
I got a lot of homework
to finish,
so I'll leave you two alone,
but, uh,
thanks, Uncle Tom.
Yeah, yeah.
Go Yankees.
Yeah.
Right.
Hey.
How you been?
Uh, good.
You?
Not bad.
Actually, I suck.
Yeah?
Well, you know, my marriage.
I'm sure you've heard
Janet's point of view.
Not really.
We don't--
Well, I mean,
I see her at the supermarket
and school stuff,
but she doesn't really call me
anymore.
Really?
When's the last time
she, uh--
Uh, Christmas
but whatever.
It's no big thing.
You know, some people,
they don't know
what to say.
It just comes down
to some good days,
and some bad days,
and some really, really
close girlfriends,
like Lisa,
you know,
that have the time to put in,
because--
I don't know.
I might want to go
to the movies,
or I might get
emotionally crippled
and want to bawl my eyes out
all night
and curse the gods.
Sounds like fun,
right?
Yeah.
Sounds like my life
except the crying is replaced
by whiskey and black rage.
Oh, you drinking again?
No, no, I'm kidding
about the
whiskey part.
What's this?
An avocado.
Ah, right.
Fridge?
Yeah.
Hello?
Uh, yeah,
Dr.
Thompson?
It's "Thompkins.
"
Oh, right, sorry.
Your name's on the crease.
Uh-huh.
I wanted to get
some information
about this post-traumatic stress group
thing you got going on.
Yeah, by all means.
Not that I'm planning
on getting involved.
Uh, it's just, uh
I was there 9/11.
I'm a firefighter.
Oh, my God.
Um, well, it-- It would be
so incredible,
so helpful
if you would come
and speak.
- I mean, to have someone--
- Hey, what's up?
None of your
*** business.
Hello?
What did I do?
Hello?
Anything now?
No, it's still snow.
You got to let me
get you a new TV.
This is ridiculous.
No.
Jimmy got that.
Believe me,
Jimmy would want you
to have a new TV.
Okay?
How's work?
It's all right.
Got the, uh,
annual cop hockey game
coming up.
You guys feeling good?
Well, Ryan's being a beast.
That guy's such an ***,
you know?
Yeah.
He's called me a couple times.
What?
Yeah, last week, last night.
About what?
Asked me out.
- Are you kidding me?
- No.
Don't knock it,
okay?
He's my only male suitor
since Jimmy died.
He's married, all right?
Told me he was getting divorced.
News to his wife.
Scumbag.
Oh! Jesus!
Are you all right?
You know what?
Can we just
forget this?
Let me call
the cable company--
No.
No.
I can fix this.
I can definitely do this.
So
you dating yet?
Me? No.
No, no.
How's, uh, Lisa doing?
Oh, she's fine.
She's out of town this week.
You know what?
You and me?
We should go out on a date.
What do you mean?
Let's go this week.
We'll get dressed up,
go to a nice restaurant,
do the whole
nine yards.
- I don't know.
I mean--
- Come on, come on!
Tuesday's good for me.
All right.
I mean, why not? Right?
Mm.
Okay, but I'm-- I'm paying.
Yeah, you bet your ***
you're paying.
Roger,
is your computer on?
Hibernating.
Wake it up.
Hello, Roger.
Hello, Roger.
Another virus?
Who exactly
did you *** off?
Hello, Roger.
Hello, Roger.
Hey, I was thinking
about that
Hindenburg thing.
I stopped off
at the Barnes & Noble,
looked it up.
It turns out
it was this huge blimp
that blew up
in New Jersey.
See?
That's exactly why I'm trying
to read the paper more.
I miss stuff.
What?
No, it didn't happen recently.
It happened like,
way back in the
In the '30s or something.
Oh.
Thank God.
I wouldn't want to be
out of the loop that bad.
Excuse me.
Is Chief Jerry Reilly around?
The guy said something
he shouldn't have said,
and I took exception to it.
So I went there
to have my say.
He took the first swing.
I threw a couple of my own.
End of story.
Or beginning of story,
as far as the papers
are concerned.
You didn't know
it was a gay bar?
Hell, no.
I mean, everybody there
looked like they were
regular guys.
What the hell
is going on here?
The Bureau
of Investigation
is talking with people.
They are gathering
eyewitness accounts.
That's why I'm here
speaking with you.
A punishment
is deemed necessary,
it'll come
from the commissioner,
and you'll have a few days
to accept or decline it.
What kind of punishment
are we talking about?
As an example? 30 days' pay.
A 30-day rip? ***.
Gimme the paper.
I'll decline it right now.
If you decline,
it goes to trial.
Do you really want that?
I don't really care.
I'm in the right here.
I'll have to take
a more detailed statement
from you.
I've already given you
my statement.
Now you're wasting my time, kid.
I have a house to run.
And if you want to
keep running it,
Chief Reilly,
I suggest you sit down
and start talking to me.
Wake up.
Your job's
at stake here.
Your future,
your pension.
Now, you can bluster
all you want.
This thing isn't going away.
Hello?
Hey, doc, it's
the fireman again.
I'm so glad
you called back.
Hey, I'm sorry I didn't
get back to you yesterday.
So this group
Yeah, uh, listen,
it would mean so much
if you would come
and share with us,
especially
if you could share
how you've dealt
with the emotional
repercussions
of the attack.
Well, I
I haven't dealt
with all that too much.
I've been writing
some poetry.
Poetry? Huh.
Well, you see, that's exactly
what I'm talking about.
If you could come
and maybe
share some of it
with the group
I don't know.
It's, um, not that good.
Well, I-I'm sure
It's better than you think.
Would you at least
consider it?
Um, can I get
back to you on that?
You have no idea
how helpful--
Hey, Bill,
what's going on?
Hello?
I was thinking about
global warming last night,
and you realize
they're saying
that Greenland's in danger
of melting away altogether?
So I couldn't sleep.
I'm tossing, I'm turning--
Bill, uh,
I didn't really care.
I'm sorry.
Some day, Franco,
science is gonna
isolate the gene
that makes people think
barbecuing indoors
is a good idea.
Can't happen
soon enough.
I'm telling you, Tommy,
there's no way
those guys were gay.
They were dressed like
regular guys, like you and me.
That's the whole point, okay?
It's one of the most
famous gay bars in Manhattan.
You said this guy
swung at you first,
he was an ***,
blah blah, blah.
Was there anybody
who was there
can attest to that fact?
Well, some Italian guy.
- His name is Vinny something.
- There you go.
There's no way he was gay.
You were in a gay bar, okay?
He's probably gay.
You better pray
he was gay,
because you need
a gay character witness.
Why?
Because, to prove
that you're not some
crazy gay-bashing guy.
You know any other ***?
Besides you? No.
I'm serious, chief.
I'm serious too.
I don't know anybody that's gay.
Now get off of my ***.
Go help those guys
take up the line.
Gay
"Soldiers marching into hells
known and unknown,
"brothers working
side by side armed
only with water, axe,
muscle and bone.
"
"With axe, muscle,
water and bone.
"
That's better, baby.
Okay, what are you doing?
Oh, Jesus.
I come down here and hear you
talking to yourself.
You can't get something
off that screen fast enough.
Why do you spy on me?
Why don't you get a hobby?
Knit something.
I know what you're doing
down here, Kenneth.
- Oh, is that right?
- Yeah.
You think that I don't know,
but I know.
It's ***.
***?
That's right.
Internet ***.
You're hooked.
You're a pig.
It's not ***.
It's a fishing site,
for God's sakes.
Come look at it.
I'm not looking
at that crap.
You don't need to lie to me,
either.
What are you doing?
Okay, you want the truth?
Yeah.
I've been writing poetry.
What?
Poetry.
Since just after 9/11.
It's kind of been
I don't know,
my therapy, I guess.
I don't know.
You're writing poetry?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Why couldn't it
have been the ***?
Hey!
You are not gonna believe this.
I just passed a newsstand.
I thought you were
gonna let me sleep.
Get up, sweetheart.
You want to see this.
It's The New York Post.
Your dad's name
is Jerry, right?
Yeah.
He beat up a gay man
the other night
in some bar.
Oh, my God.
Oh, you son of a ***.
Tommy!
Hey.
What the hell
are you doing?
Oh, I got this prick
of a squirrel.
He's eating through my roof.
I just missed him.
What are you doing?
Look.
I am so damned angry.
I found this
in Damian's underwear drawer.
Look at this.
Look at this.
It's $300, Tommy.
Okay, listen, calm down, okay?
The thing is
I'm sure there's a--
I think that he's--
I think he's dealing drugs.
No.
Damian, no, he wouldn't--
He wouldn't be involved
in anything like that.
No.
Where else would he
get this kind of money?
You're right.
It's probably drugs.
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna go home and
beat his *** black and blue.
No.
You know what?
Let me go over there,
and I'll talk to him.
I'll straighten it out,
okay?
All right?
It's just--
I wish that Jimmy
was here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you'll talk to him?
Jimmy?
Damian.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, first thing tomorrow,
I'll talk to him.
Thank you.
You got a ciggy butt?
Yeah, I do,
actually.
Ahhh
Mm.
Thank you.
Is it just me,
or does it feel
like the whole world
is just falling to pieces?
No.
I know what you mean.
I feel the same way.
Everything that's good and fun,
it's just sliding away.
You know?
Jimmy,
all the good times
we used to have
down at the firehouse
that's all changed.
Come home here,
and dealing with this ***
across the street.
I just feel like everything--
everything good in my life
is just
sliding away,
and there's nothing
I can do about it.
Jesus, Tommy.
What?
How big a *** are you?
I had something
taken away from me,
my husband,
but the things
you want,
they're here.
All you have to do
is fight for them.
Grow a pair of balls,
why don't you?
And talk to Damian.
I will.
She still looks good, though.
I thought maybe
the sadness of me dying
might have aged her, you know?
I mean, I see a little of that,
but she looks okay,
don't you think?
She's your wife.
I don't look at her
that way.
What way?
Like I look at women
who aren't your wife.
All right?
Is there a bottle
in the living room?
No.
What are you doing?
Stopping the slide,
brother.
So when can you do it?
Um give me
till the end of the week.
Yeah.
We'll come down,
we'll take a look at it,
and I'll give you an est--
I got to go.
Yeah,
I'll call you back.
All right.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Hang on.
What is that?
What, the cookies?
No.
Below the cookies,
peeking out of your pants,
and it better
not be a tattoo,
because
if it is a tattoo,
you're not gonna
see the light of day ever again.
It's not like it's huge.
Move the cookies.
Oh, my God.
What the hell?
It's a shamrock.
I can see it's a shamrock.
You're always saying
we should be proud
of being Irish.
You want to be proud
you're Irish?
Wave a flag, march in a parade,
have 100 kids.
Not yet.
- Oh, my God.
- Neat!
Can I get one too?
How would you like to eat dinner
in front of the TV?
Awesome!
But we're
not allowed to--
You're allowed
tonight.
- Grab your food and go.
- Yes!
"S & M"? You're into S & M?
What's S & M?
Never mind.
Whose initials are those?
None of your business.
What's the Murphy kid's
first name?
Sean.
Thank you.
*** it.
I knew that kid
was trouble.
It's not that big
of a deal.
Mom has a tattoo
on her butt.
How do you know that?
She showed me.
She showed you?
Jesus Christ.
I'll tell you what.
You're gonna
get rid of that yourself,
or I'll get rid of it for you.
How?
I'm sure Black & Decker
has some kind of attachment.
It's my body.
You can't tell me
what to do with it.
Oh, really?
Let me just remind you
of a couple things, okay?
When you turn
you can move out of this house.
Get a flower tattoo on your ***,
get a rainbow tattooed
on your ***,
but until then,
when you live under my roof,
you play by my rules.
I didn't get it
when I was living
under your roof.
I got it under Mom's.
Don't be a smart-*** with me.
I don't care
what you say.
I'm keeping it.
You're not keeping it.
Aw, Christ.
Hello.
Hey, it's me.
Oh, hi.
Look, I hate to ask you
for favors,
but a pipe is leaking
in the kitchen,
and Roger's coming over
for dinner.
He can't fix it himself?
No.
He's not good with tools.
Yeah, that's funny,
seeing as how he is one.
I really need your help, Tommy.
I'll be right over.
Watch them.
So the poetry,
what exactly
are you planning
on doing with it?
Nothing.
But there's
this psychiatrist guy
who wants me to read some of it
to this group he has.
What group?
Post-traumatic stress disorder.
I don't know.
It's a support group.
He thinks
me reading my stuff
might help some of these people.
So are you gonna do it?
I'm thinking about it.
The thing is,
I don't know whether the stuff
is good or not.
I mean, I'm gonna feel
like enough of an idiot
just going
to this thing.
If I go
and the stuff sucks
Hey, look, if it sucks,
you don't do it, right?
- You don't look like a big jerk.
- Yeah, I guess.
I guess
I'm just looking for someone
to tell me whether the stuff
is good or not.
Well, don't be looking at me.
Aw, come on, Phyll.
I got no one else I can trust.
No one else even knows
that I'm doing this.
Not the guys on my crew,
not my brother, nobody.
I'm not good with poetry, Ken.
It's too fancy.
It's not fancy.
It's not.
Would you read it
for me?
Please?
I did not show it to her, Tom.
She walked in
while I was getting dressed.
If anything,
mine should be a deterrent.
I mean, a heart
with your initials in it?
I mean, it should prove that even
the most well-intentioned tattoo
can become absolutely useless.
Whatever.
So I was talking
to Sheila.
She says you don't
call her anymore.
Yeah?
Well, Sheila's a ***
who treated me like ***
when we first
started dating,
then acted barely civil
towards me
once you and Jimmy
became firemen.
So her husband gets killed,
and I'm supposed to be
her best friend?
She can kiss my tight Irish ***.
Her and all the other two-faced
hypocrite broads like her
are one of the main reasons
I can't wait
to get out of this neighborhood.
I'm gonna read
between the lines here
and guess what you're
really trying to say is
- "hypocritical Italian broads," right?
- Is it fixed?
No.
Well, you can't just
leave me here
with all the wet towels
on the floor.
Roger's gonna be here
any minute and--
- ***!
- What?
The tablecloth
is still in the dryer.
Okay, I'm gonna be right back.
Please don't go.
Boy
And now the dryer
smells funny.
Like wires burning.
Well, so, what about the sink?
Well, it's not fixed,
but it won't leak.
Franco actually has
a plumber buddy.
I'll be able
to get the part that we need
from him, on the arm.
It's actually a pretty expensive part
of the garbage disposal,
but I'll do that tomorrow.
You're too under-the-gun
tonight.
Oh.
Well, thanks.
I really
appreciate it.
You're welcome.
What are you doing?
Well, I
I fixed the sink.
Hey, babe.
Oh.
Hey!
Hey, I hope that you're hungry.
I made
way too much food.
I can't stay for dinner,
actually.
I've got some stuff to do.
Okay.
Toodles.
Hi.
Oh, my God.
What?
Nothing.
I'm not finished yet.
Go away.
Yeah.
Secret evil plan, one,
Roger, nothing.
Hey, Jimmy,
you got to see this, man.
This is great.
Son of a ***!
Hey!
Roger, don't do this.
Get the hell off of me!
Hey!
What are you doing?
I know where you live, Murphy,
you son of a ***!
What are you doing?
Should I
call the cops?
No.
Go back to bed,
Mrs.
O'Brian.
Everything's fine.
This is crazy.
I'm out of here.
Roger!
Hey, that was the Murphy kid.
Yes, I know.
Roger!
He was over in my house
Roger, don't leave.
while I was
over here.
See you, Rog.
What's eating him?
Don't say anything.
Everything all right
out there?
Yeah, yeah.
It's fine.
Oh, God,
how I hate this neighborhood.
What do you want me to do
about Colleen?
Just send her home.
Yeah, nice
talking to you too.
Oh.
Pretty powerful
stuff, huh?
Oh, Kenny, it's awful.
I know.
You know,
some of the imagery
I chose
was pretty--
No, the poetry.
It's awful.
It's some of
the worst stuff
I ever read
in my whole life.
No, it can't be.
I-I-I rushed you.
Maybe you should read it again.
Oh, my God, no.
Kenny, you can't show this
to anybody.
Wait a minute.
Now, you listen to me.
This is
how I've learned
how to express myself,
my feelings about work,
the stuff
that goes on,
the things
that I've seen.
I thought you'd be happy.
I'm finally able to
open up to you, share.
No, Ken, please,
I don't need you to share.
I don't want you
opening up.
I don't want you
coming home from work
and talking about dead babies
and cats and people burning.
Kenny, I like it
when it's just
me and you
and some red wine and cookies
and watching
Mary Tyler Moore
and The Match Game.
I love you the way you are,
okay?
So I'll get rid of these.
take into account
the amount of room
they're going to have
under the salary cap
next year.
I mean,
I don't think
Richardson is
going to get
What are you doing with that?
You're missing
a button.
I'm gonna fix it in the morning.
Took it out of the closet
so I wouldn't forget.
You coming up?
Yeah, in a minute.
So where you think
he'll end up?
There's plenty
of teams
that can still use
a veteran player
Huh.
Come on.
Pick it up here.
We're better
than this.
*** it.
Who's covering him,
huh?
I had my guy.
This is ***, Ryan.
You got to put the kid in.
Seriously.
Play some defense.
You're joking.
I was playing defense.
Got no speed down there.
We're dying out there.
Let's take a vote, guys.
Who wants to put
the kid in?
I do!
Pretty much unanimous.
You ladies can stick your votes
up your ***.
This isn't
a democracy.
It's a dictatorship,
and I'm Castro.
The kid sits.
Scumbag.
What the--?
How you doing now, Fidel, huh?
How you doing now?
What's up
with those guys?
I don't know.
That's got to be
against the rules, right?
I don't know.
Go get him, John.
Come on,
break it up, Tommy.
Come on, Tommy,
break it up.
If you call Sheila again,
you're a dead man.
Scumbag.
Sheridan Real Estate.
Don Regis speaking.
Yeah, I think you might have
spoken to my wife last week,
Janet Gavin.
Oh, yeah,
yeah, yeah.
About the farmhouse.
Farmhouse?
In San Jose?
No, we're located
in Wichita
Kansas.
Kansas?
Oh, my God.
Hey!
What's up, man?
You going in?
Take care of yourself,
all right, man?
It was good seeing you.
All right.
Hey, hey!
Oh, it's you.
Yeah.
You got a lot of balls
showing up here.
There are 20 or 30 guys
inside right now
who'd like a piece of your ***.
Well, it is that kind of joint,
isn't it?
Yeah, very funny.
Hey, wait.
It's Vinny, right?
I didn't come here
the other night
looking for a fight.
And I didn't come tonight
looking for one, either.
I came to talk to that Teff guy.
He started the fight.
He threw
the first punch,
you saw him do that.
And I know a couple
of other guys in there
- saw it, too.
- So?
So, uh
I mean, it's possible I
I might need a witness,
and I was hoping you'd,
you know,
do the right thing.
You know,
funny thing about gay bashers.
They're all tough guys
until they get caught.
I never--
I saw what every other guy
in the place saw.
You threw the first punch.
Kansas.
What the hell is she thinking?
I mean, of all the places
she could pick.
You've seen The Wizard of Oz.
Kansas sucks.
What does that mean to you,
though?
I mean, you're not
going anywhere, right?
No, I'm not going there.
Forget that.
All right.
Good.
I mean, you can't, right?
Why? What are you talking about?
No, I'm just saying
you can't go to Kan--
What would happen to me?
I'm stuck here.
I don't have enough worries
and responsibilities.
I have to worry about
where you're gonna go?
After everything I've done for you?
Are you drunk?
What have you done for me?
I-- What do you mean,
what have I--?
I gotta sit here and listen
to you whine, *** and moan
about this and that.
I gotta baby-sit your demons.
You know--
You insensitive prick!
You know what?
If things are so rough for you
around here,
why don't you go haunt
somebody else, okay?
Go ahead, huh?
Go to somebody else's house
and hang around,
and you know what?
You can take them with you.
You can take
the little girl with the kitten
and the black kid.
Go get 'em.
Screw.
As a matter of fact,
get the hell out now.
Get out!
Tommy?
I, uh
I knocked.
I, uh, guess
you didn't hear.
I thought you got company.
I heard you talking to somebody.
No, no, no.
I was yelling at the
The game was on.
The cable went out.
You want a drink?
Yeah, sure.
Here you go, pal.
Hey, thanks.
So how you doing?
I'm all right.
Yeah?
What's going on?
Did I ever tell you
about my old man?
The cop.
Yeah.
On the force for 39 years.
I mean, he wasn't like a star
or anything,
but they gave him points
for staying power,
you know what I mean?
Anyway,
he puts his paper in,
and my mother, Edna,
she wanted to travel, you know?
A little golf, maybe.
Maybe get a motor home,
you know,
and travel
around the country,
all that ***.
Then three days into it,
he, uh
He takes his service revolver,
and he tries
to blow his head off.
Holy ***.
Oh, yeah.
He missed, though.
Thank God.
Wow.
Anyway, you know
we're in the hospital,
just the two of us, huh?
And I said to him,
"You busted your ***
for 39 years.
"I mean, you're finally free,
"and this
is what you do?
What the hell?"
And you know what he says to me?
He said he couldn't live
without his family.
I said,
"What are you talking about?
"We're all right here:
Mom, me, Danny boy.
"
He meant the guys on the job.
Oh, God, Tommy.
What have I done?
Jesus Christ, what have I done?
All right, pal.
Take it easy.
All right?
Everything
will be fine.
Tough, huh?
Yeah.
Don't worry, cuz.
I'll always be here for you.
Ahhh.
