Umm...

My wife had a car accident.

I'm sorry to hear that.

My grandma had a

heart attack last night.

I think she'll be okay.

She's strong. Real strong.

Yeah, she'll be okay.

I need a drink.

It's the middle of the night.

I always wanted to have another.

Little brother or

sister for you.

We tried and tried.

It's not as easy as

they'd like you to believe.

When I was a teenager, I

thought if a boy so much as

looked at me I

would get pregnant.

It's too dangerous

to just have one.

Mom.

I used to lie awake at night

listening for you to come home,

thinking "What if... "

The kids?

Anyone need anything?

Dave?

You sure?

Something to eat?

- I don't need a f***ing

sandwich, Dad.

He's just trying to help.

- I don't need a

f***ing sandwich!

Sorry.

I'm exhausted.

I think I'm gonna go out.

Oh my God!

Listen, if there's

anything I can do.

No, really. Anything...

It's f***ed up.

Look, if...

If I knew what to say...

I'd say it.

I can't.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Come here.

I can't!

F*** me!

I can't!

I should've died.

I should've...

I always wear my seatbelt.

Always.

And the one...

and the one time I don't...

I should've f***ing

burned up in that car.

Thank God you didn't.

Oh yeah.

Thank God.

I need, uh...

some 12 gauge bird shot please.

Nine dollars.

Anything else?

How about a Stetson hat to

go with those pretty blue eyes.

Just the uhh...

Shells.

Okay.

There you go.

You okay?

Yeah.

Where'd you get this?

- When we went to the

lake at the Ozarks.

Oh.

- That was before

I married Kelly.

That's right.

How's she doing?

Not good.

This guy...

This guy should not

be walking around

like nothing happened.

He should not just

be walking around

like nothing happened.

Lock him up and

throw away the key.

Yeah.

- The DA's working

on that, right?

I don't know.

They don't tell us anything.

Nothing.

What if I told you

I wanted to kill him.

Dave.

I'm just kidding.

That would be f***ed up.

Dave?

Dave, did you walk the dog?

What are you working on?

- I'm chatting with

a Dad in Idaho

who's son died of

stomach cancer.

15 years old.

Why?

- Because he needs

someone to talk to.

Your Mom called.

She wants to see you.

Us.

Okay.

When?

Whenever.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

Forgot the keys.

I...

I'm without words.

It's okay.

I'm so sorry. So sorry.

- We've been through

this kind of grief.

It's so different when

it's your children.

Yes.

I'm so sorry.

Congratulations!

Thank you...

- If there's something we

can do, please let us know.

- I know it's hard to ask.

- Anything at all.

I'll cover your classes.

That will make them glad

to see you come back!

Alright. Appreciate that.
