act smarter than you look and drop it.

Where's she at?

You better get while it's good.

Heel it now, dig?

Throw one at me if you want,

hash-head.

I got all five senses and I slept last night.

That puts me six-up on the lot of you.

Just easy, bro.

Where's Em?

All right! All right!

All right!

Where's Em?

She's with me.

She was tight when she called

you, man. Came to me freaked.

Told me to shake you if you came by.

Said you'd only make things worse.

Deal with whatever

this ain't about and drop it.

Tell Em I wanna see her.

Tell her if she wants my help

or not, it's her business.

But I want to hear it straight from her.

She don't want...

Today! She knows where I eat lunch.

And stay out, man!

I must've sounded pretty crazy

on the phone yesterday.

You just gotta forget about it.

That's how you can help me out, is just,

please, forget about it.

Brendan,

I know that you're mad at all these people,

because you think I went away

from you and went to them.

But you got to start seeing it

as my decision.

You know, stop getting angry

just because where I wanna be at

is different from

where you wanna be at, okay?

Who fed you that line, Em?

Stop picking on Dode. Okay?

He's a good guy.

The Pie House rat?

He's a good friend.

So what am I?

Yeah, I mean, what are you?

Eating back here,

hating everybody.

I mean,

who are you judging anyone?

God I...

I really loved you a lot.

I couldn't stand it.

I had to get with people.

I couldn't handle life with you, anymore.

I'm sorry, Brendan. I'm sorry.

- You gotta come back to me, Em.

- No!

You're in a spot but I can get you

out of it, if you just come back to me.

No, you're not hearing me!

I don't wanna be put away

- and protected.

- Whatever befalls you, I'll deal with.

No.

Just tell me about the trouble

with the brick, The Pin.

What? Are you gonna fix things,

like you did with Jerr?

No. Okay?

I came here to say goodbye.

Okay? For good.

Whatever you have to do

to let me go, you gotta do it.

You gotta promise me, though,

okay? You have to.

That you're not... You're not

gonna torture yourself.

Please.

That you're...

You're just gonna let me go.

Just let me go.

Do you know anything else about this?

No.

Slim pickings.

Why did you let Dode fly

when he went back to,

who's her name,

at the theater?

Kara.

It's their turf. I couldn't

hear them without being seen,

and that would only biff their play.

Best to know that it's there,

let it ride and see what comes of it.

Anyway.

Well, if this is what I think it is,

it didn't come straight from Dode,

unless he's playing out of his league.

- I can only give you my best guess.

- Yeah.

When the upper crust does shady deeds,
