I promised her on my life

I'd be home tonight.

I promised her that this night was gonna be

a love night, a special night, somethin'.

I didn't know this goddamn thing

was gonna happen.

Water main in the middle of the night.

Bet you didn't even call her.

I can't call her.

How am I gonna call her?

She already sent the kids

to her mother's.

She'll climb the walls,

break dishes, scream.

Mabel's a delicate, sensitive woman.

Mabel's not crazy.

She's unusual.

She's not crazy, so don't say she's crazy.

This woman cooks, sews,

makes the bed, washes the bathroom.

What the hell is crazy about that?

I don't understand what she's doing.

I admit that.

But I think I know.

She's mad at me.

- Well, call her.

- You see, there's something wrong

with her, Eddie.

- Call her.

- She's not like a normal person.

This woman, you know,

she could get hit by a car...

burn down the house.

jesus Christ.

I don't know what she can do.

[ Phone Rings ]

Hi, baby.

Listen, I'm in trouble down here.

The -The water main downtown here burst.

The thing busted.

The whole thing is busted...

and there's water all over the place.

So -

I'm down here now.

I love ya.

It's fine, Nick.

Please believe me. It's fine.

[ Sighs ]

You all right?

Yeah.

Baby, I'm gonna make this up to ya.

I'm not goin' to work tomorrow.

I'm gonna take the day off tomorrow,

and we're gonna be together tomorrow.
