Catch and Release Page #4

So, not to be Miss Tragedy about it,

but I could be in some real trouble

if I don't get this money.

Okay, this isn't funny, Grady!

I didn't even want your help.

You were the one who wanted to be

Mr. Take Care Of Everything Man.

Well, F you, sugar daddy. F you!

You know what I need,

so go ahead, give it to me.

You're funny.

Okay, wait a minute.

I'm going to ask you a question.

What do you

think when you hear someone say,

"Go ahead, give it to me"?

I've got this.

Hi.

- I'm taking you home.

- No, you're not.

I am a grown-ass woman.

I don't need you to Hollywood me home.

What are you doing?

I'm just trying to figure out

what's more tragic,

if this is your laundry or hers.

I had nothing to do with it.

So, what are we painting today?

Where's the 323 area code for?

He's on my bed.

You know her, don't you?

323, that's L.A. You know her.

Right?

How long has she been in his life?

Just tell me that.

- She's not.

- Forget it. You suck.

She's not in his life. She's just...

The mother of his kid.

Do you need anything?

What I need is a little more information

about how my fianc

could have a child

that I know nothing about.

Okay. It was...

It was a one-time thing.

He was in town.

We went to a Halloween party.

He hooked up with this woman.

When? How long ago?

Before you.

- How old is the kid?

- I don't know. Seven? Eight?

- Is it a boy or a girl?

- Boy.

God!

- Want to sit down?

- No.

What is she like?

I don't know.

- Is she pretty?

- I don't know.

- Answer me.

- She's attractive,

in a messed-up, makeup-y kind of way.

She doesn't swear. What is that?

What kind of...

What kind of grown woman

goes around saying "F you"?

The kind with a kid.

Great.

This is why you're still here, isn't it?

To clean up after him.

You have blue paint in your hair.

It's not blue. It's Marrakech Mystery.

- Why is she calling?

- She wants her money.

What do you mean?

He sent her money.

She hasn't gotten any lately,

what with him being dead and all.

She's effing p.o.'ed.

I'll take care of it.

I'll send her some money myself.

I think she counts on it.

For rent and stuff.

I counted on him, too. Look where it got me.

Incidentally, I do.

Miss him.

Yeah. Los Angeles?

Okay, I need the number

and the street address

for Maureen Monette.

Thank you.

Hey. You probably don't remember me.

My name's Fritz.

I'm a friend of Grady Douglas'.

I have some news.

Paul Hexter, please. Fritz Messing calling.

Thank you.

- Excuse me.

- Hey! Yeah, sorry I didn't call you back.

I need you to send $20,000

to a massage therapist in Encino.

Hello.

Hi.

It's so good to see you.

Nice to see you, too.

Thanks for calling.
