is not to leave the state

once the residence is established.

Many leave to San Francisco

for a break.

Don't misunderstand me,

Mr. Warner.

But that does not happen

in this case.

No. I trust we can leave the

keys with you any time.

Thank you.

Ok, put your stuff in here.

Lock it up. The changing room

is over there.

-Hello everybody. -This is Joyce.

-Hello, Joyce!

I leave you with the girls.

See you on the floor.

All right.

Cay, I'll like to see you in my office?

Please.

Darrel, where shall I put the key?

-Oh, God!

-I'll tell you where.

Thank you, Silver.

That was not very clever.

Cay.

Do you know how much I love you?

I started to express myself

and ruined everything?

There's nothing to ruin, Darrel

And I've been honest with you

about why.

I know everything.

I can look the other way

if I had to.

Oh, hi.

-Sorry.

-Frances is awake.

I just thought about ...

having a cup of tea.

Let me get it for you.

Don't bother. I could

use a practice.

Would you, please, go and

sit down?

If she hear us, I wont

get out in less than hour.

I'll come back when it is less

complicated.

Sh*t!

What are you doing?

Shut up!

I'll clean.

Look at my boots.

Please, don't

turn on the light.

What's matter?

You are having a rough night?

You could say that.

Listen, I'm always awake.

Next time you can't sleep,

come to my cottage.

Some company will help.

You'll make me cry.

No.

I'm going to make you some tea.

Is it you, Cay?

- Yeah

Bring me a coke, please?

I have a glass.

-Who is in the kitchen?

-Vivian is making tea.

She is so nice.

This all place has risen

category since she came.

I spend all night

struggling with migrene.

You are wearing that one

out, Frances.

No, everything is falling apart.

It is middle of the night.

It will be together by morning.

Ok...

What is falling apart?

The ranch, for example.

Business is bad. I don't think

it will hold much longer.

Remember the good old days?

Can not drink for the good old days.

If I do sell, I want you

to come with me.

We do not picture us living

in two rooms togehter.

Oh, It will be bigger than that.

If you come with me

You can leave the casino

and go to study art.

Botton yourself up.

Professor does not need

to see your business popping out.

-Where are your pants?

-I have to go.

I will not stay so do not

squeeze me.

You and Walter are all

I have left from Glen!

Glen is dead.

No, if I still have you.

Someday I will meet someone

who counts.

Counts?

But look at who your friends are.

Do not ask your support. But

if you stand in my way ...

Now, go to sleep.

I empty out my ice box.

Good night, Frances.

Good morning!

Good morning.
