What, what, what?

What's the matter?

Come on.

Look, this isn't easy

on either one of us, all right,

but we gotta be strong.

Gotta be strong, baby.

We've gotta make a pact, no crying

in front of the kids. You got me?

- I'm just tired.

- I know, I know.

But the best thing for us right now

is to stay together, you got it?

Yeah.

We're gonna make it.

I promise you, we're gonna make it.

- Okay.

- All right?

Yeah.

I love you. Now come on.

Let's pay the bill

and go to sleep, all right?

I'll take care of it.

Take the kids out.

- I need a moment, okay?

- All right.

Come on.

Come on, hurry up.

Put all the candy away.

I got it.

I'm not done watching.

You pick them up.

Why do I gotta go pick it up?

Why can't you?

Don't start.

- But we...

- I got enough things on my mind.

- What the hell you doing?

I'm sorry.

- I'm really sorry.

- Clean it up.

Help him.

Here you go.

Here you go.

Here you go.

- Don't you usually give me 75?

- What about those bricks you dropped?

- You expect me to pay for that?

- Come on. I broke 10 bricks.

How much are bricks,

You want the 50 or not?

Come on, man. All I'm saying is

that 10 bricks at 50 cents is how much?

I mean, do the math.

You know what?

I don't got time for this sh*t. Take the 75.

Just don't ever expect me

to hire you again.

It's your choice.

Keep it.

There's a smart man if I ever saw one.

Hey, have you got any work

coming up in the next few days?

I don't know if you noticed

all the decorations

all over the place, but it's Christmas.

Thanks a lot.

- Ha.

- You scared me, you idiot.

So, what you doing?

Just trying to bring some

Christmas spirit to this place.

Oh, yeah, it's really working.

Look at that.

- How was work?

- I made 50 bucks.

- You usually make 75.

- Yeah, usually.

Look, I don't wanna talk about it,

all right?

Okay.

Where are the kids?

Justin's outside

playing with some friends

and Christina's on the bed playing with

some toys the Salvation Army dropped off.

Hey, Tina.

- Who's your friend?

Smiddy.

Hi.

Get the hell out of here.

Angie.

Angie. I can't find my jacket.

What?

I think somebody stole my jacket.

Can you believe that? Jesus.

Hey, excuse me,

can I talk to you for a second?

Someone stole my jacket last night.

I need to file a report.

Actually, Mr. Diaz, I was

just about to come and find you.

Uh, follow me. I need to talk to you.

Did you find it?

You're not gonna believe this.

You're not gonna believe it.

What? What's wrong?

We gotta leave the shelter.

What?

Remember that list I put us on

for the apartments a couple months ago?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, well, they called us.

- You're kidding me.
