Don't you think I feel like an idiot?

I'm out there on the damn street!

What am I supposed to do? I mean, what?

You did the right thing. You did.

I'm proud of you.

I'll kill the son of a b*tch.

-Jamie, good to see you.

-Good to be here.

You better get it together.

Daddy will be here in 10 seconds.

Come in.

Hey, Daddy. Here's your schedule.

Troutman auction's at noon. A meeting

with Mr. Yopp about the financing at 4:00.

Don't be late.

-What in sam hill's going on here?

-What are you talking about?

To succeed in business,

you'll have to learn to lie better.

Hey, Daddy.

All right. I'm going to...

...go see about some stuff.

In your goddamn nightgown?

ls that part true?

Is this how you behave

in front of your child?

Daddy, please--

You think you're invisible?

We're having problems.

Who are '"we'"? He wasn't

in his goddamn underwear, was he?

How will going around naked

solve anything?

You trying to humiliate your family?

My God, her heart must be

in a million little pieces.

No, her pride. Now, for God's sakes,

don't get maudlin.

It's just so awful.

-I can't believe Eddie would do that.

-I know.

-What was he thinking of?

-The same thing he was thinking with.

Don't be vulgar.

Are spoons on the right or the left?

-On the right.

-Left.

I'm going back over there.

She's probably had all she can take.

-You get her squared away?

-She'll be all right.

-She say what happened?

-Just a fight.

Eddie's f***ing someone else.

-That for sure?

-Yup.

See you at noon.

Hi, honey.

Let's get caught up on these books

before it gets any crazier.

Mother, please. Now's not a good time.

Just give me the receipts

and I'll enter everything.

Honey, he slipped.

Please, I don't want

to talk about this with you.

Just know that this happens.

It happens in the best of marriages.

It doesn't mean that he doesn't love you.

You have a daughter

who is crazy about her father...

...and he's crazy about her, God knows.

He slipped...

...and, crazy as it may seem,

it's up to you to help him up.

I don't believe I'm hearing this.

You've gone about this in a way that'll

have everyone talking for a long time.

Let them talk.

But, after this...

...from now on,

let's make it a private family affair.

If you want to talk about anything...

...come and talk to your mama.

We can do these books another time.

I love you, honey.

-Eddie's coming.

-What?

Daddy must have called him.

What do you want me to do?

-Keep him busy.

-Okay.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Is she here?

-Yeah.

I'll get her.

Grace, the lying,

cheating sack of sh*t is here.

I can't breathe.

Oh, my God!

What did you do?

You said to keep him busy.

He's busy holding his nuts.
