take more than a few days.

Now, can you uh, can you tell me

a little bit more about your brother?

The hiker?

How is my princess?

What's up?

I took some Adavan.

And called my psychic.

You know we can't afford that.

- We talked about that. Okay.

- Don't be mad.

- It's just this week has been so...

- I know. I know.

Well, with Raymond

getting eaten by animals

and someone trying to steal the fridge.

We got another letter from the HMO today.

Hey, come on now. Come on.

I'm sorry.

F***ing cocksuckers.

"As we previously stated

in the genetic history... "

I'm sick. I'm really, really sick, you know?

I know. "Tourette's Syndrome is not

easily diagnosed. No... "

F***, f***!

"... onset before the age of 18

and no genetic history... "

"Please reference

our previous discussions... "

"... concerning you claims for... "

"... OCD, ODD, ADHP... "

It's what's going down

at the beginning of the century.

Margaret!

But still in matters vegetable, animal

and mineral...

I am the very model of a modern

Major-General.

Margaret!

I know you don't like to talk about this.

But maybe it's not what

we think it is, you know?

Yeah, maybe it's not.

Maybe it's just stress.

Remember that cruise?

I saw you.

You were happy.

You were this sweet, happy person.

Kind and giving.

I'm sorry. I'm tired, you know.

They say you can't get it all of

a sudden, but I did. I really, really did.

I know. I know.

Well, I'll kill myself.

No, come on, that's nonsense!

- Then they'll see.

- No, that's nonsense talk. Come here.

No, come on now.

...marry someone normal.

You're the most normal girl I know.

I'm not crazy, Paul.

- There's something wrong with me.

- I know, sweetie.

And we're gonna find the best specialists

for what you have we can.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I know things are gonna turn around.

Call me cra... I got this feeling. I do.

But you have to leave everything

up to me, okay?

You leave everything up to me,

and you're gonna be okay. I promise.

Sh*t bag.

That's my girl.

Yeah, hi. This is Ted Watters

from Liberty Capital.

I was wondering if I could get a complete

credit workup on a Raymond Barnell

and a Paul Barnell, as well.

Yes, I will hold.

You start the month ends yet?

Oh, can you take care of that for me?

I'm kinda working on something here, Cam.

Oh, God. You're not still

on the Barnell thing, are you?

I went to go see him.

And? And?

So, trust me, something's not right.

I can smell it. Just help me buy a week.

We're gonna get in such trouble.

Okay, from now on, you can come along

with me on everything.

No more Cam goes to the coffee room

and Ted disappears for three hours?

I'll try, yeah.
