YEAH. I'LL GO OUT WITH YOU. YEAH?
Jim: SHE'S NO LONGER A PROSTITUTE.
SHE'S A FULL‐TIME STUDENT.
YOU ARE RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR!
YOU STOP THIS NOW BEFORE ‐‐ BEFORE WHAT?
BEFORE YOU LOSE EVERYTHING.
I HAD YOU FOLLOWED. WHAT?!
LIFE IS WORTH LIVING, MRS. CRYER.
BUT YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR HAPPINESS.
I'D RATHER NOT HAVE A SON AT ALL THAN TO HAVE A SON
THAT'S NOT ATTRACTED TO TALL, BUSTY,

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
HEY.
WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?
WATCHING PORN.
TURN THAT OFF.
WHY?
NOW.
FINE.
I'LL SEARCH FOR AN ESCORT, THEN.
WOULD YOU STOP IT?
AND YOU CAN'T HAVE VISITORS HERE.
PORN IS NOT A VISITOR.
I MEAN AN ESCORT.
LOOK, I'VE BEEN LOCKED AWAY IN HERE WITH YOU FOR MONTHS.
I GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
WELL, YOU'RE GONNA NEED TO TAKE YOUR MIND OFF OF THAT.
MY MIND IS FINE AS IT IS.
GET UP. WE'RE GOING OUT.
WHERE ARE WE GOING? YOUR SISTER JUST CALLED.
AND?
SHE WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU WANT TO COME OVER AND HELP HER MOVE.
MOVE?
WHERE'S SHE MOVING TO?
SHE AND CANDACE ARE GETTING A PLACE TOGETHER.
WHAT?
YEAH.
MY PARENTS WOULD NEVER ALLOW THAT.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.
NO WAY.
COME ON.
YOU DESERVE TO GET OUT FOR A LITTLE BIT.
I MEAN, YOU'VE BEEN DOING WELL.
OF COURSE.
I'M ISOLATED FROM THE ENTIRE WORLD.
AND YOU'LL BE FINE
ONCE YOU GET YOU ACCLIMATED BACK INTO IT.
COME ON, WYATT.
WHY CAN'T YOU BE HAPPY?
I MEAN, YOU'RE DOING WELL ‐‐ REALLY.
AM I?
YEAH.
WHATEVER.
I'M PROUD OF YOU.
WHATEVER, JUST...
NO, I AM.
AND I DO THINK THAT IT WOULD BE GOOD
IF YOU MAYBE GET OUT OF HERE FOR A LITTLE BIT.
ALL RIGHT? COME ON.
GET OFF ME.
I'M ‐‐ LISTEN, I'M JUST CONGRATULATING YOU.
YOU DON'T NEED TO TOUCH ME TO CONGRATULATE ME.
SORRY.
WELL, WE'RE LEAVING IN 15 MINUTES, SO COME ON.
WE GOT TO GO HELP HER MOVE.
WHY?
'CAUSE I WANT TO SEE CANDACE.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO SEE HER?
I'M GONNA ASK HER OUT.
WHAT?
YEAH.
NO WAY.
THIS, I GOT TO SEE.
SHUT UP.

I'M SORRY. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT?
OKAY.
THREE YEARS AGO TO THE DAY, YOU AND I...
CELINE, WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS
PLEASE TAKE THAT BRANDY INTO THE OTHER ROOM
AND FORGET ABOUT THAT, ALL RIGHT?
IT'S A MEMORY.
I'M SORRY I BROKE IT OFF. I REALLY AM.
I WAS JUST GOING THROUGH A LOT BACK THEN.
WHAT WE DID WAS A MISTAKE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE,
AND I'M NOT SORRY THAT YOU BROKE IT OFF.
YOU SAVED ME THE TROUBLE.
NOW, GO ON. TAKE THE BRANDY AWAY.
I KNOW YOU STILL LOVE ME.
OH, IS THAT RIGHT? MM‐HMM.
WELL, THEN YOU DON'T KNOW MUCH.
I WAS THERE FOR YOU.
DO YOU REMEMBER HOW YOU USED TO TALK TO ME ALL NIGHT
WHILE SHE WAS AWAY?
YOU LAID IT ALL ON MY LAP.
I MISS THAT.
THEN YOU NEED TO GO HOME AND BE WITH YOUR HUSBAND.
PLEASE, JIM?
PLEASE?
HEY, LISTEN, IF‐IF YOU THINK
THAT YOU'RE GONNA REKINDLE THE FLAME, FORGET IT.
IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN, OKAY?
IT'S OVER. IT'S DEAD. IT'S GONE, LONG DEAD.
NOW, GO ON.
I KNOW YOU STILL WANT ME.
LISTEN TO ME, OKAY?
IF YOU THINK THAT KEEPING THIS JOB IS
SOMEHOW GOING TO PUT THIS BACK TOGETHER,
IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN,
SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL QUIT AND DO IT NOW.
QUIT?
QUIT.
NO, NO, THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
DO YOU KNOW WHY?
'CAUSE YOU CAN'T FIRE ME.
YOU LOVE ME AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU.
YOU ‐‐
DON'T FIGHT ME.
GET OUT OF MY OFFICE.
DON'T FIGHT ME. GET OUT OF MY OFFICE.
WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN A WHILE.
NO.
WHY HAVE YOU BEEN SO DISTANT?
[ Chuckling ] I'M NOT DISTANT.
YES, YOU ARE.
I MISS OUR GIRL TALKS.
WE'RE SITTING HERE LIKE TWO OLD WOMEN
TALKING ABOUT EVERYBODY IN THIS TOWN.
WELL, I'M NOT OLD.
WE'RE OLD.
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. [ CHUCKLES ]
DO YOU KNOW HANNA'S A GRANDMOTHER?
REALLY?
MM.
SHE LOOKS GREAT.
FOR A MAID.
DO YOU WANT GRANDKIDS?
I'M STILL RAISING MY OWN. HMM.
ONE DAY, I HOPE TO HAVE GRANDKIDS.
THAT SON OF MINE WOULD HAVE TO GET BUSY.
HMM, YEAH.
WHY DO YOU GET QUIET EVERY TIME I MENTION MY SON?
DO I?
YES.
WELL, CHILDREN CAN MAKE YOU GET QUIET.
WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
I FEEL LIKE I CAN TELL YOU EVERYTHING.
UH‐OH. WHAT?
WHAT'S COMING?
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HIM?
WHO?
MY SON.
I JUST SAID HE'S A GOOD BOY.
HE'S SMART.
HE'S HANDSOME.
AND HE'S QUIET.
A LITTLE TOO QUIET.
WHERE IS THIS GOING?
DO YOU EVER WONDER WHAT FOLKS IN THIS TOWN SAY
WHEN WE'RE NOT IN THE ROOM,
WHEN THEY'RE SITTING AND CHATTING
ABOUT US OVER LUNCH? [ CHUCKLES ]
WE WOULD BE FOOLS TO THINK
THAT THEY ARE NOT CHATTING ABOUT US,
BECAUSE WE ARE CERTAINLY TALKING ABOUT THEM.
[ CHUCKLES ]
I WONDER WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT MY SON.
WELL...
TELL ME.
I‐I DON'T KNOW.
YOU'RE IN THE ROOM. I'M NOT.
TELL ME WHAT THEY SAY.
I...
LIKE YOUR CHILDREN ‐‐
THEY HAVE KNOWN HIM ALL OF THEIR LIVES.
WHAT DO THEY SAY ABOUT HIM?
THEY DON'T SAY MUCH ABOUT HIM, VERONICA.
WELL, DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S STRANGE?
WHAT BEE IS IN YOUR BONNET?
I WAS JUST WONDERING.
I DON'T KNOW.
WELL [CHUCKLES] LOOK AT THE TIME.
I'M MEETING DAVID AT THE STYLIST.
THEY'RE GONNA HELP US GET READY FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
HAVE YOU MET WITH THEM YET?
MNH‐MNH, BUT I WILL.
WELL... I'LL SEE YOU SOON, LOVE.
ALL RIGHT. OKAY.
BE SAFE.
IF SHE THINKS I'M GONNA BE THE ONE
THAT TELLS HER THAT HER SON IS GAY,
SHE BETTER THINK AGAIN.
WHAT?
MNH‐MNH. YOU AIN'T GETTING ME IN THAT.
[ CHUCKLES ]
WHAT'S SO FUNNY?
THAT WOMAN.
YOU DON'T KNOW HER LIKE THAT.
MM.
I FEEL LIKE TAKING A WALK IN THE GARDEN.
HAVE YOU SEEN MY SHOES?
MM, MM‐HMM.
RIGHT HERE.
OH, THANK YOU.
I JUST FINISHED CLEANING THE MUD OFF OF THEM.
YOU KNOW, BUDDY'S LATE.
HE'S NOT HERE, AND THE ROSES LOOK TERRIBLE.
I TOLD HIM ABOUT IT, TOO.
DID YOU? MM‐HMM.
IT'S NOT ENOUGH WATER, I GUESS.
HE'S SLIPPING.
I TOLD HIM THAT, TOO.
WHAT DID HE SAY?
HE THANKED ME.
I'LL STAY ON TOP OF HIM.
OKAY.
[ GRUNTS ]
THERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU.
MM‐HMM.
SURE YOU'RE UP FOR THIS?
YES.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
[ CHUCKLES ] OKAY.
I'LL TAKE A BOURBON ON THE SUN PORCH
WHEN I GET BACK.
A LEMONADE ON THE SUN PORCH WHEN YOU GET BACK?
IT'LL BE THERE.
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME SO WELL.
THANK YOU.
WH‐WHOA.
YOU DIDN'T PUT TOO MUCH SUGAR IN THERE, DID YOU?
[ CHUCKLES ]
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
WHAT?
I GOT YOU THIS JOB.
I KNOW HOW SHE LIKES HER LEMONADE.
FIRST OF ALL, YOU DIDN'T GET ME THIS JOB.
YOU GOT ME THE INTERVIEW.
AND I KNOW YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE LEMONADE.
I WAS JUST ASKING A QUESTION.
SHE'S TRYING TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT.
MM‐HMM.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? NO [EXHALES SHARPLY]
I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT, YOU KNOW?
CAN'T TAKE WHAT?
YOU.
TYING HER SHOES?
OH, CELINE, THE WOMAN GETS DIZZY WHEN SHE BENDS OVER.
REALLY? HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
CELINE.
NO, REALLY, HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT KATHERYN.
I'VE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS,
AND I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER.
SHE WON'T EVEN TALK TO ME.
I DON'T KNOW. I WAS JUST ‐‐
WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP ACTING CRAZY?
SURE. SURE.
WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP ACTING LIKE A SLAVE?
NOW, THAT'S LOW‐DOWN.
NO.
WHAT'S LOW IS YOU ON YOUR HANDS AND KNEES.
I'M DONE WITH THIS.
CAN YOU GUYS BE CAREFUL WITH THOSE BOXES, PLEASE?
IF YOU CAN DO BETTER, YOU TWO SHOULD.
WYATT, PLEASE PUT IT IN THAT ROOM.
WHERE DO YOU WANT THIS?
THAT ROOM RIGHT THERE ‐‐ THAT'S MY ROOM.
OKAY. AND THE DELIVERY GUY'S OUTSIDE.
OKAY.
HOW'D YOU GET MOM AND DAD TO LET YOU MOVE OFF CAMPUS?
I HAVEN'T TOLD THEM YET.
HUH.
IT'S GONNA BE FUN WHEN THEY FIND OUT.
WYATT, DON'T SAY A WORD.
YOU KNOW ME.
WYATT.
AMANDA, HE WON'T.
EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME.
CHINESE FOOD.
GREAT. FINALLY.
WE GET TO TAKE A BREAK. [ CHUCKLES ]
THERE'S SPOONS AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
I PUT THEM IN THE KITCHEN.
I'LL GET IT.
OH, I'LL HELP YOU LOOK FOR THEM.
NO, I GOT IT. THANKS.
IT'S GONNA TAKE MORE THAN THAT.
SO... THIS IS A NICE PLACE.
YEAH, WE LIKE IT.
YOU LOOK NICE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
I DON'T. I'M MOVING.
WHAT IS HE DOING?
HE'S TRYING TO ASK HER OUT.
NO WAY.
YEAH.
WOW.
WHAT?
YOU KNOW SHE THINKS HE'S GAY.
I KNOW.
IS HE?
I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE. WHO CARES?
THEN WHY IS HE ASKING HER OUT?
I HAVE NO IDEA.
[ CHUCKLES ]
I LIKE YOUR BLOUSE.
UH, MY BLOUSE ‐‐ IT'S A TANK, BUT THANK YOU.
WELL, I ‐‐ SPOONS.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
HERE WE ARE.
THANK YOU. YEP.
SODA, ANYONE? YEAH.
SORRY. WE HAVEN'T PUT THE TABLE TOGETHER.
SO, CANDACE, ARE YOU SEEING SOMEBODY?
NO, NOT AT THE MOMENT.
NOT EVEN AN OLD MAN?
WHAT'S WITH YOU THINKING SHE'S INTO OLDER MEN?
I HAVE A SUSPICION.
WELL, YOU'RE WRONG.
SHE LIKES AGE‐APPROPRIATE GUYS, LIKE JEFFREY.
REALLY, NOW?
THAT'S NICE, 'CAUSE JEFFREY'S REALLY INTO HER.
GUYS, STOP.
Wyatt: NO.
DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WANTED TO ASK HER OUT?
OH, MY GOD.
YOU DO?
GO ON.
NOW'S YOUR CHANCE.
UM...YEAH.
I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD GO OUT WITH ME.
WHAT'S FUNNY?
UM, WHY DO YOU WANT TO GO OUT WITH ME?
I THINK YOU'RE CUTE.
[ SNICKERS ]
I'M SORRY.
WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING AT HIM? WHAT'S FUNNY?
I'M SORRY. NOTHING IS FUNNY.
I JUST...I JUST ‐‐
CANDACE.
JEFFREY, I'M SORRY.
YOU SEEM LIKE A REALLY NICE GUY,
BUT SOMETHING TELLS ME
I'M NOT YOUR TYPE AND YOU'RE NOT MINE.
YEAH, HER TYPE IS OLD MAN.
WYATT, STOP IT.
CANDACE KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
CANDACE, WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?
I DON'T KNOW.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO OUT WITH HIM,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RUDE TO HIM.
I WASN'T BEING RUDE.
NO, NO, IT'S OKAY. YOU'RE JUST NOT THAT INTO ME.
I GET IT.
YES, HE GETS IT.
THANK YOU FOR ASKING.
YOU SHOULDN'T LAUGH AT PEOPLE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
I'M NOT LAUGHING.
I JUST FOUND IT FUNNY. WHY?
WYATT.
NO, I WANT TO KNOW WHY SHE FOUND IT SO FUNNY.
COME ON, JUST LET IT GO, MAN.
SHE SAID NO.
YOU'RE TOO NICE.
NEVER LET ANYONE HUMILIATE YOU, ESPECIALLY SOMEONE LIKE HER.
WYATT.
SOMEONE LIKE ME?
YEAH, I'VE BEEN DOING MY RESEARCH ON YOU.
REALLY?
YEAH. WHO ARE YOU?
WYATT, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU.
YOUR FATHER'S NOT A DOCTOR.
UNTIL A YEAR AGO, THE SCHOOL HAD NO RECORD OF YOU.
WHO IN THE HELL ARE YOU?
DOESN'T ANYONE WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT I WANT TO KNOW?
WYATT, STOP IT NOW, SERIOUSLY.
I WANT TO KNOW.
STOP IT.
I THINK YOU SHOULD.
NO. HE WANTS TO KNOW.
I‐I SHOULD TELL HIM.
NO, YOU DON'T OWE HIM ANYTHING.
I KNOW THAT.
BUT HE'S RIGHT.
MY FATHER ISN'T A DOCTOR.
FINALLY, THE TRUTH.
I DON'T KNOW HIM.
I GREW UP WITH NOTHING.
I GOT A SCHOLARSHIP FOR SCHOOL,
BUT THEN I WITNESSED A MURDER.
MY FATHER MURDERED MY MOTHER.
AND HE ‐‐ HE HAD SOME REALLY BAD CONNECTIONS,
SO I WAS PLACED IN WITNESS PROTECTION.
[ Voice breaking ] SO I'M JUST...
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET BY, SO...
[ SIGHS ]
IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO WON'T LET ME BE.
EXCUSE ME.
CANDACE.
[ SNICKERS ]
MAN, I AM SO GOOD.
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
DID YOU KNOW THAT, AMANDA?
SOME OF IT.
THAT'S WHY I WAS TRYING TO GET YOU TO LET IT GO.
[ SIGHS ]
[ KNOCKS ON DOOR ]
CANDACE.
COME OUT OF THERE, PLEASE.
FOOD'S GETTING COLD.
OKAY.
[ SIGHS ]
THAT IS SO SAD.
I KNOW.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY NIGHTS
SHE WOULD STAY UP AND CRY ABOUT IT.
IT'S TOUGH TO GET THROUGH THAT KIND OF TRAGEDY.
I DON'T EVEN WANT TO IMAGINE.
IT'S HORRIBLE.
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
NO, YOU'RE NOT.
YOU'RE UPSET.
YEAH, MAN, IT'S OKAY TO BE UPSET.
JEFFREY, I KNOW THAT.
I THINK YOU SHOULD GO APOLOGIZE TO HER.
I WILL WHEN SHE COMES OUT OF THE BATHROOM.
OKAY.
MAN, I ALWAYS PUT MY FOOT IN MY MOUTH.
IT'S OKAY, WYATT.
NO. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
NO, MAN, DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP ABOUT THIS.
NO.
IT'S JUST...
DAMN.
DON'T GET SO UPSET.
I WANT TO GO.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
YOU GOT TO GO APOLOGIZE TO HER FIRST.
JEFFREY, I WANT TO GO NOW.
WYATT, YOU CAN'T KEEP RUNNING WHEN THINGS GET UNCOMFORTABLE.
YOU HAVE TO STAY AND DEAL WITH THEM.
I DON'T FEEL LIKE DEALING.
I UNDERSTAND, BUT HE'S RIGHT.
AMANDA, YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT ONE TO TALK.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
[ Sighing ] I'M SORRY.
NO, SAY IT.
WELL, YOU DON'T ‐‐
SAY IT.
NO, NO, DON'T ‐‐ DON'T, WYATT.
NO, IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, THEN SAY IT.
DON'T YOU TELL HIM THAT ALL THE TIME?
LISTEN...
I'M SORRY.
I MADE A LOT OF BAD CHOICES TONIGHT.
GOOD. GOOD. THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING THAT.
GOOD.
OKAY.
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]

ARE YOU COMING STRAIGHT HOME AFTER WORK?
WELL, THAT'S THE PLAN.
OKAY, GOOD. WHY?
I WAS JUST ‐‐ I WAS JUST ASKING.
Oh, no. No, you didn't.
YOU'RE ASKING FOR A REASON. WHAT IS IT?

BENNY.
[ Chuckling ] What?
DON'T YOU HAVE NO FAST‐TAIL GIRLS OVER AT MY HOUSE.
OH, NO, MAMA.
GOT SLOW‐TAIL ON MY HANDS RIGHT ABOUT NOW, SO...
BOY, I AIN'T PLAYING WITH YOU.
I MEAN IT, NOW.
Don't have that girl at my house.
WHAT GIRL YOU TALKING ABOUT?
ANY OF THEM.
WELL, UNLESS IT'S DARCI.
NOW, SHE CAN COME OVER FOR DINNER.
DARCI. WHO?
YES.
SHE'S A NICE CHRISTIAN GIRL.
YEAH, CHRISTIAN GIRLS.
I HEARD THOSE WERE THE WILD ONES.
OH, HUSH, BOY. I'M SERIOUS.

NO, BUT YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO KNOW
I'M TAKING DARCI OUT ON OUR FIRST DATE TOMORROW,
so you should be happy about that, okay?
YEAH? OH, THAT'S GOOD!
YOU NEED A NICE GIRL.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.
BENNY, DON'T START NOTHING.
I'll see you at 7:00.
YEAH, UH‐HUH.
AND BE ON TIME.
[ CHUCKLES ]
Bye. BYE.
[ CHUCKLES ] [ BEEP ]
HEY, MAMA.
OH, BENNY, YOU SCARED ME TO DEATH.
SORRY. HOW WAS WORK?
IT WAS GOOD. GOOD.
WHY ARE YOU STANDING IN THE DOORWAY?
NO REASON.
BENNY, YOU GOT ONE OF THEM GIRLS HERE?
NO, NO, I'M NOT DOING THAT STUFF HERE NO MORE.
YEAH, WELL, SOMETHING SMELLS GOOD.
I KNOW YOU AIN'T COOKING NOTHING.
NO, THAT AIN'T ME.
MM, THEN WHO IS?
YOU REMEMBER MR. WATSON FROM THE CHURCH, RIGHT?
YES, I DO.
TONY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
YOUR SON TOLD ME YOU'VE BEEN
A LITTLE UNDER THE WEATHER LATELY,
SO HE ASKED THAT I COME OVER
AND COOK A NICE DINNER FOR YOU.
WELL, THAT'S NICE.
BUT I'M FINE.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS.
NO, IT WAS NO PROBLEM.
I'VE BEEN HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE
COOKING FOR JUST ONE SINCE MY WIFE DIED.
YOUR WIFE DIED?
YES.
I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.
YEAH, MAN, ME, TOO.
I‐I‐I BETTER ‐‐ I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO BURN.
WELL, I'LL GET WASHED UP.
OH, OKAY.
HURRY. IT'S ALL HOT.
[ Chuckling ] ALL RIGHT.
WHAT?
BE RIGHT BACK.
BENJAMIN, WIPE THAT SMILE OFF YOUR FACE.
WHY'D YOU DO THIS?
WELL, YOU WERE NICE ENOUGH TO HAVE DARCI OVER
ON MY LUNCH BREAK THE OTHER DAY, RIGHT?
I FIGURED I'LL CALL MR. WATSON UP
SO HE CAN BE HERE, COOKING YOU A NICE DINNER
WHEN YOU GOT BACK FROM WORK.
AND I SEE THAT YOU CHANGED UP, SO, YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD, NOT ALL TIRED AND BUSTED,
LIKE I WAS WHEN DARCI CAME TO THE HOUSE.
YOU BETTER GET THAT MAN OUT OF HERE.
WHY? 'CAUSE I DON'T WANT HIM HERE.
MNH‐MNH.
IT'S "GETTING EVEN" TIME FOR YOU.
BENNY, BENNY ‐‐ MY PHONE'S RINGING.
NO, IT DIDN'T.
BENNY'S TOWING.
THAT AIN'T EVEN A PHONE.

LOOK, PLAY NICE.
HE CAME OVER HERE AND COOKED YOU A NICE DINNER.
Shh.
HEY, MR. WATSON, MAN, I GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
I JUST GOT A CALL.
OH, NO, YOU'RE GONNA MISS ALL THE FOOD.
SORRY ABOUT THAT, MAN. IT LOOKS GREAT, TOO.
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALMOST LIKE
THESE PEOPLE CAN'T EVEN DRIVE NOWADAYS, YOU KNOW?
I PROBABLY WON'T EVEN GET BACK
TILL, WHAT, 2:00, 3:00 IN THE MORNING.
MM‐HMM. [ SCOFFS ] IT'S CRAZY.

I'LL SEE Y'ALL LATER. SEE YA.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. LOVE YOU.
LOVE YOU, TOO.
DOES HE KNOW WHO YOU ARE?
NOT A CLUE.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
Amanda: CANDACE, PLEASE COME OUT OF THERE.
WYATT IS SORRY.
Say you're sorry.
I'M SORRY.
[ Voice breaking ] THAT'S OKAY.
I'LL BE OUT IN A SECOND.
GREAT.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT.
HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?
YOU'RE AGITATED, WYATT.
DON'T TELL ME HOW I FEEL.
I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU ‐‐ I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
WHEN I GET STRESSED, I WANT TO GET HIGH.
I'M FINE, OKAY?
I'M FINE. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]
ARE YOU OKAY?
[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]
YEAH.
I'M SORRY.
I'M OKAY.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T KNOW.
IT'S FINE.
NO, REALLY...
IT'S FINE.
BUT CAN YOU NOT SAY ANYTHING TO ANYBODY?
OF COURSE.
I'M SORRY.
JEFFREY, I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY.
CAN WE MAY‐‐
WOULD YOU GUYS MIND
IF I SPOKE TO JEFFREY FOR A SECOND, ALONE?
SURE.
THANK YOU.
YEAH, I'M...
HAVE A SEAT.
I'M REALLY SORRY ABOUT HIS BEHAVIOR.
AND HE'S DOING MUCH BETTER. I JUST...
OH.
OH, THIS ‐‐ THIS IS SUDDEN.
THIS IS...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT ARE YOU ‐‐ WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
JUST LIKE I THOUGHT ‐‐
NO REACTION...AT ALL.
I'M ‐‐ I'M...
I'M TIRED FROM MOVING, OKAY?
NO.
YOU'RE TIRED FROM BEING IN THE CLOSET.
EXCUSE ME?
YOU'RE GAY.
NO, I'M NOT.
JEFFREY, YOU'RE GAY.
NO, I'M NOT.
Y‐YOU ARE GAY.
IF YOU'RE TRYING TO HUMILIATE ME, IT WORKED.
IT'S ‐‐ YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT.
NO, I'M NOT TRYING TO HUMILIATE YOU.
I'M TRYING TO GET YOU TO FREE YOURSELF.
I HAVE NOTHING TO BE FREED FROM.
OKAY.
JEFFREY, YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE,
AND YOU GOT TO LIVE IT FOR YOURSELF.
YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT ME.
OKAY.
WHEN YOU'RE READY TO BE YOURSELF,
I'M SURE WE CAN GO OUT AND HAVE A REALLY GOOD TIME,
'CAUSE I LOVE HANGING WITH THE KIDS.
YOU'RE WRONG.
COME ON, WYATT. LET'S GO.
I REALLY AM SORRY, CANDACE.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
I DON'T THINK JEFFREY IS, THOUGH.
WHY?
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. LET'S FINISH UNPACKING.
OKAY.
SO, HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?
IT'S GOOD.
[ CHUCKLES ] SPICY.
YEAH?
YOU DON'T LIKE SPICES?
IT'S FINE.
YOU SEEM A LITTLE NERVOUS.
NO, IT'S ‐‐
I JUST WASN'T REALLY EXPECTING COMPANY
AND ESPECIALLY NOT YOU.
WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD COMPANY?
MY COUSIN CAME OVER THE OTHER DAY.
NO, I MEAN FROM A MAN.
[ Chuckling ] OH, WELL, THAT HAS BEEN A WHILE.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?
IT SHOULDN'T BE SO LONG.
YOU'RE STILL A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
OH, PLEASE. I'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE.
LOOK, I'M ‐‐ I'M DONE WITH ALL OF THIS IN MY LIFE.
DONE WITH WHAT?
DONE WITH BEING WANTED?
DONE WITH HAVING NEEDS?
I'M DONE WITH RELATIONSHIP GAMES,
LIKE THE ONES WE ALREADY HAVE PLAYED.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TALK TO YOU EVERY SUNDAY IN CHURCH,
AND YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT ME.
TONY, I ALREADY BEEN DOWN THAT ROAD A TIME OR TWO ‐‐
AND A FEW TIMES WITH YOU...
...AND AIN'T NOTHING DOWN THERE I WANT.
PEOPLE CHANGE.
ARE WE REALLY HAVING THIS CONVERSATION?
YES.
I WANT TO AT LEAST BE ABLE
TO TAKE YOU TO THE MOVIES OR SOMETHING.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YEAH, I DON'T THINK SO.
WHY?
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
I'M NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING.
YOU SEE, I'M FINALLY HAPPY,
AND I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO INTERRUPT THAT.
OKAY.
SO YOU ISOLATE YOURSELF
TO KEEP FROM FEELING HURT OR PAIN.
NOW, THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS
IF YOU SHIELD YOURSELF FROM THOSE FEELINGS,
YOU SHIELD YOURSELF FROM LOVE AND PASSION.
MM.
HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?
YOU FINALLY BEEN LISTENING TO PASTOR'S SERMONS.
HEY, I PAY ATTENTION.
LISTEN, TONY, THIS WAS REALLY NICE,
BUT MY SON WAS TRYING TO BE CUTE WHEN HE SET THIS UP.
OUR SON.
YEAH, OUR SON.
THE ONE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN FOR OVER 20‐SOMETHING YEARS,
THE ONE YOU WERE NOWHERE AROUND TO HELP RAISE INTO A MAN.
I'M SORRY.
I FORGIVE YOU.
BUT YOU'RE ABOUT A DAY LATE
AND ABOUT $80,000 IN BACK CHILD SUPPORT SHORT.
I WANT TO KNOW HIM.
SINCE WHEN?
WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM ABOUT ME?
I DIDN'T TELL HIM ANYTHING ABOUT YOU
OTHER THAN YOU WERE M. I. A., MISSING IN ASSOCIATION.
THAT'S IT?
YOU WENT OFF AND GOT MARRIED
TO SOMEBODY I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT.
SHE WOULDN'T LET ME BE A PART OF HIS LIFE.
DON'T YOU DARE BLAME THIS ON ANOTHER WOMAN!
YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS!
THAT'S YOUR SON!
BE A MAN FOR ONCE, TONY!
BE ONE!
IT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME THEN.
OH, IT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME.
THAT'S WHY YOU ASKED ME TO HAVE AN ABORTION THEN.
IT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME THEN.
WELL, IT AIN'T SO NEW NOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
THIS LITTLE DINNER'S ALL NICE AND GOOD.
AND I TELL YOU WHAT ‐‐ WHEN I SEE YOU AT CHURCH,
WE'RE GONNA BE ALL NICE AND CORDIAL,
AND YOU WON'T EVER HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING
OR SHOW UP OR DO ANYTHING ELSE AGAIN,
BUT FOR RIGHT NOW,
I WISH YOU WOULD JUST GET YOUR ASS OUT OF MY HOUSE.
WELL, THIS WAS A LOVELY EVENING.
I'LL SEE YOU IN CHURCH.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
[ SIGHS ]
I'M GONNA KILL BENNY.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
[ SIGHS ]
SO, YOU MISSED DINNER AGAIN.
I DON'T FEEL LIKE GOING TO THE CAFETERIA
WITH ALL THE OTHER ADDICTS.
RECOVERING ADDICTS.
ARE WE?
YEAH, DON'T GET DOWN ON YOURSELF.
WHY NOT?
WYATT, YOU KNOW WE FROWN ON PEOPLE BEATING THEMSELVES UP.
WELL, LIFE SURELY HAS.
LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT.
AND WHAT AM I MAKING OF IT?
A GOOD THING.
YEAH.
IT SEEMS LIKE A MESS TO ME.
NO, NO, NO, NO.
IT'S NOT A MESS, AND YOU'RE NOT A MESS.
WHY DO YOU PUT UP WITH ME?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I MEAN, I CAN MAKE SO MANY MISTAKES.
WE ALL CAN.
LIKE TODAY.
OH, BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
I SHOULD HAVE.
HOW COULD YOU?
BECAUSE YOU'VE ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT EVERYBODY HAS A SECRET.
YES, I‐I HAVE SAID THAT.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID ANYTHING.
I SHOULD HAVE JUST LET IT GO.
WELL, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE, BUT [CHUCKLES]
YEAH, IT WOULD HAVE.
YEAH, BUT I‐IT'S DONE NOW.
IS IT?
YES. LET IT GO.
[ SIGHS ]
YEAH, BUT I STILL FEEL BAD ABOUT IT.
THAT'S GREAT.
THAT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE A CONSCIENCE ABOUT IT.
JEFFREY, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?
ANYTHING.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ME?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
JUST WHAT I SAID.
IN WHAT WAY?
IN ANY WAY.
WELL, I THINK THAT YOU'RE SMART,
THAT YOU'RE THOUGHTFUL
AND LOVING AND KIND.
REALLY?
YES, BUT I ALSO THINK THAT YOU HIDE IT FROM THE WORLD.
AND WHY IS THAT?
PROTECTION ‐‐
YOU'RE TRYING TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM SOMETHING.
SOMETHING LIKE WHAT?
YOU TELL ME.
JEFFREY, THERE ARE DAYS THAT I FEEL GOOD,
AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I FEEL ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS.
MM‐HMM.
AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I'M ANGRY.
AND... YOU KNOW WHAT'S SAD?
WHAT'S THAT?
THERE ARE DAYS WHEN I FEEL ALL THESE EMOTIONS AT ONCE.
THEY'RE ALL FIGHTING TO GET OUT.
YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO CONTROL THEM.
WELL, I WANT TO.
GOOD. I CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT.
I KNOW.
DO YOU?
YOU REALLY HAVE HELPED ME, JEFFREY.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT TO ME.
YEAH.
ARE YOU STILL MAD AT ME?
I'M NOT MAD AT YOU.
ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED IN ME?
THAT'S WHAT YOU USUALLY SAY. "I'M DISAPPOINTED."
NO, I'M NOT DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.
I JUST DIDN'T LIKE HER LAUGHING AT YOU.
THAT BOTHERED YOU?
YEAH.
I DON'T LIKE WHEN MY FRIENDS ARE MADE FUN OF.
WAIT, WE'RE FRIENDS?
YEAH.
HMM.
GO TO HELL.
[ CHUCKLES ]
WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO HELL IF YOU KEEP WATCHING THAT PORN.
I'M NOT WATCHING PORN. I'M SEARCHING FOR AN ESCORT.
YOU CAN'T HAVE VISITORS.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS.
THEN TURN IT OFF.
LEAVE ME ALONE. GET OUT OF HERE.
ALL RIGHT, FINE.
WELL, YOGA'S AT 8:00 A. M.
I KNOW THAT.
HEY.
THANKS FOR CARING.
I DIDN'T SAY I CARED.
JUST SAID I DIDN'T LIKE MY FRIENDS BEING MADE FUN OF.
WELL, THANKS.
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT?
YOU GOT TO SEE THIS.
[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
LOOK, I'M NOT WATCHING PORN WITH YOU.
THIS IS AIN'T PORN. YOU GOT TO SEE THIS.
WHAT IS IT?
[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
IS THAT HER?
IT SURE LOOKS LIKE HER.
[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
NO WAY.
NEXT WEEK ON "THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS"...
SO, YOU'RE GONNA GO TO THE PROFESSOR
AND CONVINCE HIM TO GIVE YOU A MAKEUP TEST.
YOU'VE BEEN BENDING OVER BACKWARDS,
KISSING UP, TYING HER SHOES.
REALLY?
YOU LET ME KNOW WHEN WE GET EVEN.
WHY? 'CAUSE THEN I'M OUT.
AND WHAT DO YOU WANT BESIDES THE WHORE YOU JUST CAME FROM?
I CAN SMELL HER FROM HERE.
AND YOU JUST GO ON, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
I'D RATHER RIDE THE DEVIL TO HELL
THAN GO SOMEWHERE WITH YOU.
David: OUR PROBLEM IS NOW A NON‐FACTOR.
SHE WON'T BE BOTHERING YOU AGAIN.
WHAT DID YOU DO, DAVID?
