A Quiet Little Marriage Page #3

---

it wasn't just us.

You woke up

the whole neighborhood.

Ah, well, we were gonna

come in last night, man,

but your lights were off.

Okay, so we had to sleep

in the car.

You know the point is,

you just shouldn't be driving

like that.

- I know that.

- Obviously, you don't.

I'm sorry.

I'm gonna be late.

Looks great.

Thank you.

Can you try

to eat something, babe?

Please.

It's good.

Looks good.

You guys have a paper towel?

Okay.

We've had to keep him

in his room all day.

Well, you can't keep him here

as a prisoner.

Dad, just sit down

and behave for a second.

I thought you said routine

was important.

It is important.

But his behavior is escalating

as time goes on.

Livy!

Just hold on, Dad!

I'm having a conversation!

It's okay, Bruce.

Safety is our

most important concern.

Well, he can be in the garden

if I'm with him, right?

Of course, he can.

I'm not a child.

You shouldn't talk about me

like I'm not here.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Do you want

to go to the garden?

Okay.

Let's go.

We're fine.

I didn't mean to.

I know you didn't, Daddy.

Hi, Bruce.

- Hey, babe. I'm sorry...

- Hey.

- Olive.

- Is everything okay?

Can you just take him to

the garden for me for a second?

Sure.

Dax.

Come on, Pops.

Let's go take a walk.

He didn't mean to.

We have to talk about options.

Your father either needs

or we're gonna

have to sedate him.

I'll think about it.

We're not equipped

for violent residents.

He's not violent.

Punching is violent.

If it happens again,

we're gonna have to ask you

to find someplace else.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry he hit you.

It's the disease.

I just need

a little bit of time.

Then he's like,

"Mr. Dax is the best.

"Mr. Dax,

he grades my test.

Mr. Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy,

was he?"

That's what it sounded like.

Hey, play something on vinyl.

All right.

Hey, what do you want

to drink?

Mmm, red wine.

No wine.

What?

No.

No beer.

What?

We do have this.

Oh.

Okay,

Mr. Award-Winning Educator,

your secret's safe with me.

You're so beautiful.

No, no.

You first.

No, me first.

Me first.

You can't get it?

I can get it.

I'll get it.

No, stay.

I know where matches are.

I know where matches are.

I'll get it.

I know where matches are.

I'll be back.

Found some.

I got it.

Wow.

I'm gonna make

the best breakfast in the world.

Eggs, toast, bacon,

orange juice.

I'm gonna make smoothies.

I make the best smoothies

in the world.

- And potatoes.

- And potatoes.

They're made

from old sweaters.

What is it?

A bear.

It's a bear.

And all the of money

that we make from selling them

will go to the Sparrow Rock

Elementary School.

Oh.

Little kids made them.
