Answers to Nothing
Do you want to hear
a romantic story?
It was World War ll.
He was young, 22, 23,
paratrooper,
tough son of a b*tch.
They were being dropped
somewhere over France.
His chute was damaged
by enemy fire,
and he lost control
and landed on the roof of a house
in the middle of the country.
I guess he got injured somehow,
I think from the hard landing
from the hole in his chute.
Anyway, the man
that lived in the house
had a beautiful young daughter
who nursed him back to health.
And after a few days,
he left to rejoin his unit,
that he would be back for her.
Eight months later,
he returned...
and he's been with
my grandmother ever since.
Beautiful story, huh?
Romantic, right?
Yeah, romantic.
He said that he would be here.
I... I told him this morning.
Well, why don't you give him
a call again?
and I'm sure he'll be here
when I come back.
Oh, my God!
You're unfucking believable.
I'm gonna come so f***ing hard.
Oh, God!
F***!
Oh, my God, yeah!
Don't... Don't... Don't...
Don't swallow it.
Hmm? Don't swallow it.
No, don't... don't spit it out.
Spit it in here, baby.
You turn me on.
I gotta go.
Early this morning, local volunteers
gathered to work with police
in combing a huge area
down by the shipyards
for any signs of
But later in the day,
police once again
found themselves
reaching out to the public
for help in this unsettling case.
We believe the perpetrator snuck
into the bedroom window
and took her while
the family was asleep.
Detective,
one more question, please.
You've been questioning a neighbor
by the name of Roger Beckworth.
Is he a suspect?
No.
I already told you Mr. Beckworth
is merely a person of interest.
Now, that's all I have for you today.
All I ask is that if anybody
sees Christie Dillon
or knows anything
about her whereabouts,
so we can get her back here
where she belongs,
at home with her family.
Thank you.
Detective, I just need to know...
Frankie...
so you still want to keep two
black-and-whites in front of the house?
Yeah, and, uh...
keep the reporters
off the damn lawn, okay?
Right. Right.
All right, Barbara Walters,
that's enough.
Let's go. Off the lawn.
I got here as soon as I could.
I'm so sorry.
I got caught up with a new client.
I called your cell phone.
I know. The battery's dead.
Why are you crying?
You're 40 minutes late, Ryan!
I know. I...
I got stuck with a client. I...
I told you I'm sorry,
but I'm here now,
a-and we're here now.
You did it already?
In the car. In the parking lot.
In the parking lot?
Yeah.
You know I get nervous
in doctors' offices.
I just wanted to make sure
that I had a good sample.
Ah, Ryan, you made it.
Yes.
- And I see you have your sample already.
- I do.
Well, let's get started.
We're praying for you.
Thank you.
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
Good.
Well, that's good.
Still getting your weekly tests, right?
Good, 'cause your parents
aren't backing down.
They want him,
and they're gonna say that you're
not fit to care for him.
They want him in a home.
He doesn't want to go there.
Well, we've done
everything that we can
to establish that you're
a responsible caregiver,
so who... uh, who's
assigned to us for this?
Michael Ambrose.
He's fair.
and that's really all that you
can ask for in a mediator.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Why don't I come over to your place
the night before?
We'll prepare.
Okay...
I hate...
being obligated to talk to people
just because it's polite.
I hate...
people who say
that money doesn't matter,
because it does.
I hate laugh tracks.
I hate people who don't think
that there are two Americas.
I hate when you bite into an onion ring
but then you're left with
I hate how I always think that I have
a booger hanging out of my nose,
and I'm constantly trying
not to touch my nose so that...
I just... I always feel like
there's a booger that's there,
that's dangling there
when I'm talking to people, and...
I hate it.
I hate people who don't use pictures
of themselves on Facebook.
MIX:
Uh, sorry. I, um...
I think I hit something over here!
Found her bed empty
and the screen
on her window removed
Right now, neither of her parents
are considered suspects
by the authorities,
but there is some interest
being paid to a neighbor.
Thanks, Leslie.
Prepare for the heat wave to contin...
Ready to go, buddy?
One of us has gotta lose some weight.
And Paris Hilton.
I f***ing hate that b*tch.
And... And hairy moles
on people's faces.
You know, I just want
to grab that catfish whisker
and just rip it
right off of their chin.
Jesus Christ.
And rotator cuffs.
I hate them.
and it still hurts.
And I hate...
I hate black people.
I hate the way that they talk in movies.
I mean, it's got to bug the sh*t
out of you, too, right?
Hey, what time do you guys
want to practice tonight?
I thought you guys were
DJing at Jones tonight.
Nah, it's tomorrow.
I got plans.
That old married guy tonight?
He's not that old.
But he is that married.
Man, from here, he just seems
like somebody's dad.
