Regardless, Hank and Carly love each other, Hank who would admit to himself that he enjoys the fact that other men find Carly attractive, which is partly why he allows her to act the way she does in public. In turn, they mutually love their now two teenaged daughters, Alex and Becky.

In what? In a litter box

like some stray cat?

It's starting again.

I'm not gonna live here, hank!

I hate this place!

Carly, cut it out.

You're a big girl. This

isn't the end of the world.

No, it's just the same goddamn

world we had in washington,

Only it's worse.

Look, everything that was

on the right is on the left.

Right and left

and right and left

and right and left!

Only it's worse

and we're all ten years older!

These rooms are smaller!

Get me out of here!

Carly, it's okay.

We were okay in germany.

We were okay in washington.

We're gonna be okay

in alabama.

Don't talk to me so carefully.

I hate it when you

talk to me like this.

Stop it right now!

Stop it!

No!

No, I'm not

gonna live here!

I won't live

in this fleabag!

Carly!

Carly!

Where the hell

are you going?

Carly!

Get out of the jeep.

- God damn you!

I hate you!

- Carly!

I hate you. I hate you.

Well.

May I help you?

Eighteen years

of shitboxes and...

Packing and moving and...

New neighbors

and ugly bases and...

Now this cat piss.

Have you seen that place?

Are you okay, dear?

You get out of here!

Don't worry about it.

I'll handle this.

- I hope so.

- Get him out of here.

Carly.

Nobody's gonna hurt you.

- Don't you touch me.

- I wouldn't let

anybody hurt you.

I can see it.

I can see that radiation

just coming off of you.

No. No, you get your goddamn

contaminated hands off me.

Carly, do you trust me?

Do you think I know you?

Do you? Hmm?

Well, listen to me then.

You have nothing

to be afraid of.

Do you want to go home?

Hmm?

So, come on.

Let's go home.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

The car.

Is she okay?

What happened?

Mom's fine.

She's... Tired.

She needs

a little rest,

that's all.

Do you still love me, daddy?

Mm-hmm.

Do you love me?

Oh, yeah.

Do you love me?

Yes.

Do you love me?

Yes, I do.

Do you love me?

Yes, yes.

Do you love me?

Oh, yeah. Yes.

She's got

to see somebody.

You can't keep

running after her

and playing baby-sitter.

Your mom's fine.

She's spirited,

she's energetic.

Sometimes she wears

herself out with all

the traveling and moving.

Don't worry about it.

I can handle your mom.

We can all handle

each other's problems.

Dad, we didn't move here

just because of the project

you're working on.

You don't know what project I'm

working on. That's classified.

You don't know a thing about it.

Maybe you and mom want to live

in your own little world

of make-believe and secrets,

But we don't.

Her famous aunt gail

we're always hearing about-

alex.

Well, you heard mom yesterday.

The most popular girl

in richmond?

She grew up on a chicken

farm outside of norfolk.

She needs help.
