Silver Linings Playbook Page #2

dad, relax. The court said

it's fine, okay? Let it go.

Don't worry.

Dad, I'm in there

because of the court.

That's the agreement

that we made months ago.

It was a plea bargain

with the courts.

The lawyer, he instructed me, he said

that what we should plead that, and

then I would serve eight

months and then I'd get out.

It's all under control.

Well... okay, okay.

Congratulations.

Thank you. So what are

you doing with yourself?

You know, I'm gonna start a restaurant.

It's gonna be a cheesesteak place.

How you gonna pay for it?

I'm gonna pay for it,

don't worry about it.

From your bookmaking?

Who told you that? Mom told me.

Outside.

I did not. No, I didn't.

You just told me outside, mom,

what are you talking about?

Five minutes ago, we were walking up the

stairs, you said, "don't say anything,

but dad lost his job and

he's bookmaking.".

Why, Dolores? Why did you say that to him?

He has the wrong idea.

Everything's fine, Patrick. I'm more

concerned about you than anything else.

Good, dad. Good.

Okay, the question, the big question,

is what are you gonna do with yourself?

What am I gonna do? I'm getting

in shape, I'm getting trim,

I'm getting really fit for Nikki.

I'm gonna read Nikki's teaching

syllabus and get

my old job back.

Nikki sold the house. She left.

Didn't your mother tell you that?

Let me tell you something. You don't know

anything about my marriage, okay, dad?

All right? Our marriage...

We're very, very much in love,

okay? Just like you two.

Listen, Patrick, she's gone. She's

not around anymore. Nikki left.

What are you doing, dad? You know what?

Excelsior.

Excelsior. What does that mean?

It means you know what I'm gonna

do, I'm gonna take all this

negativity and use it as fuel and

I'm gonna find a silver lining,

that's what I'm gonna do.

And that's no bullshit.

That's no bullshit. That takes

work and that's the truth.

What the f***?!

Stupid f***ing book!

I just can't believe Nikki's

teaching that book to the kids.

I mean the whole time. Let me

just break it down for you

the whole time you're rooting for

this Hemingway guy to survive the war

and to be with the woman that

he loves, Catherine barkley...

It's four o'clock in

the morning, pat.

And he does. He does. He

survives the war, after getting

blown up he survives it, and

he escapes to Switzerland with

Catherine. But now Catherine's pregnant.

Isn't that wonderful?

She's pregnant. And they escape

up into the mountains and they're

gonna be happy, and they're gonna

be drinking wine and they dance...

They both like to dance with each

other, there's scenes of them

dancing, which was boring, but I
