have a water and wait for him.

See all the bottles

I got back here?

Yeah, I see them.

You want a water in my bar?

Yeah.

Okay, I can get you a water.

F***ing water.

Just why aren't you calling

me back?

All right, you know what?

Just make it a vodka

on the rocks.

Now that sounds a little better.

My name is francisco Bacheco

Paraquaras Acero.

You can call me Frank.

That's a mouthful, Frank.

Yeah.

Thomas, Thomas Conrad.

Thomas Conrad, to you,

Thomas Conrad.

To not drinking water.

Cheers.

Oh, it's good, huh? What

is your business, by the way?

Um, I manage the local

supermarket.

You manage... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh.

I never met a supermarket manager.

It's very interesting.

What do you do, what is your

height of the day?

When the Brussels sprouts get

lost in Missouri...

...and you have to

ship them back here?

I'm sorry,

I'm messing with you, bro.

I'm just messing with you.

And your childhood?

What was that like?

Just generally speaking.

Generally, it was a childhood

of trying to please my father.

And how'd you go about trying

to accomplish that?

I would scream

at the top of my lungs.

Really, what else?

I would sit in silence

for a day, maybe two.

Did it work?

I don't know, doc, do you get the sense

that me and my dad have had...

I don't know, what do you call it?

A breakthrough?

A man's emotional barriers can

be traced back...

...to his relationship

with his father.

What was your relationship like

with your mother?

Her baby boy.

She'd do anything for me.

And you have a brother and a sister.

What was your relationship

like with them?

Me and Claire are close.

She'd do anything for me.

Kyle, he's my big brother,

you know?

I looked up to him,

he looked after me.

And he was in the service, too,

correct?

Yeah, but he can't...

What?

When he came back,

he didn't come back like me.

Well, the experience is

different for everyone.

We gotta wrap this up.

Hey, doc, are you married?

I am.

How long?

12 years.

Yeah?

Do you guys have any kids?

I have two boys.

Do you love them?

With every fiber of my being.

I sure hope you tell them that.

I can't stand to see a man

drinking alone.

Thomas Conrad.

Listen, I have to apologize again.

I just wasn't paying attention.

Thomas Conrad, you know, sh*t,

I don't know why you keep

bringing it up.

I already forgot about it.

I mean, can you remember

what happened, frank?

I don't know, I only remember you have

to pay the tab this time, Bill.

Details, Frank, minor details.

Besides, my new friend here,

Thomas the killer, he's paying

for everything.

I'm not a cheap date.

Well, look, here's to life

without the ball and chain.
