Another Happy Day Page #3

It's his wedding.

He wants her at

the wedding, right?

He wants Alice

at the wedding.

And she has her therapist

so she can talk to Paul.

I mean, who goes to a therapist

to talk to their ex-husband?

I don't know why you ask me

these kinds of questions.

Well, 'cause Elliot's

doctors just wanted...

No, there isn't.

So nobody in your family

had any history of depression,

Or obsessive

compulsive disorder...

- No. No.

- ... Severe an...

Well, where'd he come from, mom?

The planet Mars?

Oh, maybe so.

But didn't dad's dad

have some kind of a...

Didn't he drink heavily?

Well, yeah,

but that was, you know.

Did he die of drinking?

No, of course not.

He, um, you know.

He...

What?

He shot himself.

He shot himself?

Yeah.

Well, I'd say

that's something.

It was a different time, Lynn.

It was during the depression.

A lot of people

shot themselves.

You know, I wasn't

crazy about Sweden

I mean, it was...

it was freezing.

Really? Even in June?

Yeah, you know, maybe it was

Just my preconceived

notions of Sweden.

Pro... probably.

It's probably just

psychosomatic.

- I have anxiety.

- Careful.

I'm on medication.

Well, we all know that.

...Limited spectrum of our

intellect and what we are.

Our ancestors struggled

and fought and died...

Oh, no f***ing way.

It's gonna be weird, like,

meeting mom's ex-husband.

I guess so.

I've never even, like,

seen a picture of him before.

I did.

Well, what's he look like?

Kind of generic.

Know who he looked like?

He looked like T.J.

Our old babysitter.

But didn't Paul used to be,

like, physically abusive?

Yeah, I think so.

So are you gonna,

like, kick his ass?

Ben... Ben, why would

I kick his ass?

I don't know.

'cause he, like,

used to hit mom and sh*t?

Yeah.

I've hit mom before.

Come on.

F***.

Alice, are you sure you feel

strong enough to come down here?

No. Okay, okay.

Okay, I'm just asking.

No, no, that will be fine.

I am just going to talk

to Paul very calmly.

I'm gonna do just what

Dr. Marcus said to.

Why would there be a fight?

It's just going

to be me and Paul

And that... that therapist

whose profile we saw online.

Don't worry, Alice.

Exactly, exactly.

That's the plan.

That's all. That's the plan.

Jesus f***.

Dude, I gotta drop a deuce!

Oh, sh*t.

Donna, go ask your father

what he wants for breakfast.

Come on, come on.

Let's go see.

Let's go see.

Let's go see what

granddad wants.

- Say hello, granddaddy!

- Oh, hi, baby.

Hey. Daddy, what do you

want for breakfast?

A bowl of life.

Ah, we're all out of life.

Oh.

Are you crying?

- No, no, no. That, it's...

- are you sure?

Yes.

Okay, well, what do you

want for breakfast?
