I just want you to get me out of here.

Holy sh*t, Chaz.

I'm OK. I'm fine.

Don't be stupid.

Go home. OK?

Goddamn city.

I hate it.

I work in the city, Dee.

I cant just quit my job.

What would I do?

You could teach again.

You used to be a great teacher.

My job is what allows us

to save for Amy's drugs.

How do we do that

on a pair of teachers' salaries?

We could sell the house.

We've already got

two mortgages on the house.

Selling it doesn't do us any good.

Mom?

Yeah. Hi, sweetie.

Deanna, can you get that?

- Dee!

- Excuse me.

Just give me a minute.

Yeah.

Hey, Charlie.

Charlie? Can you hear me?

- What do you want? How did...?

- Well, how's your busted nose?

- Still hurtin'?

- Why are you calling me?

Just checkin' out if you were keeping

your promise about the police and all.

'Cause after all,

a promise is a promise, huh?

- Hello?

- I got it. It's business.

A business call. Honey, for God's sake.

Excuse me. Who's this?

Well, this is Mr. LaRoche.

Mr. LaRoche,

my husband's had a rough day.

- Can this wait?

- What happened?

- He was mugged.

- Charles, I had no idea.

Please, I'm sorry.

Why didn't you tell me so?

Honey, can you hang up, please?

OK, hon.

So you haven't told her. Huh? Have you?

You haven't told your wife
