I didn't want to get you worried.

Don't you think...

that I'd be more worried if I just,

"A," heard that all our money was gone,

and "B," you have these mental issues

and you're not talking about them?

- Yeah. That is weird.

- Yeah. It's weird, War.

I mean, what's going on?

Yeah. I don't know. I've just been...

I just been out of my head.

I've just been making

bad decisions, you know?

Do you think maybe you

should talk to somebody?

Like, go back

to Dr. Fieldman?

Just as a favor.

And if...

If Dr. Fieldman

says that I'm crazy,

will you still marry me?

Of course, Warren.

So, what's been going on

at home...

that's got Karen insisting that

you come back to me for therapy?

Well, off the record, I mean,

she's very, very stressed out right now.

Mm-hmm.

Uh-huh.

And...

But she seems to think...

you're behaving

rather strangely.

Why would she think that?

Oh. I'm having these...

incredibly... vivid dreams,

you know?

And, uh...

Oh.

And other...

Images.

And, um...

I'm working on

this project now...

that I think

is very, very important.

I feel like, I don't know,

it may change the world.

And I feel like I am...

I've got this greater purpose, or something,

in my life, and my brain... It's just...

It won't shut off. I...

It's just working overtime...

trying to crack this code.

It just feels like the...

You feel, like, that...

that we're living...

in some... some really, like,

f***ed-up times right now.

You would agree

with that, right?

That's how you see it?

Yes. And...

I mean, someone's gotta come along.

I mean...

And just...

You know?

I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know.

Uh... What

am I gonna do?

I mean, I got

to raise a family in this?

So, uh, it's the, uh,

delusions of grandeur again, right?

F***. No, Doc.

Look, um, you're making me

a bit nervous.

I, uh, think you

should just come back.

Sit down.

Have a cookie.

Nah.

I'm done with your cookies, Doc.

No offense.

I'm done with you, too.

What? Warren.

Warren?

No.

Okay.

- Warren, ready for...

- Shut up, shut up, shut up.

I'm blown today, bro. Movies.

Get a cab. Get a cab.

Grab a cab, because, uh...

You see Karen anywhere?

No. Why? Is...

He didn't want to be pacified.

If the end of the world

was coming,

he wanted to be prepared.

He wanted to survive,

and he was gonna find out how.

Because I've... Look,

I've been conditioned all my life...

to deal with this kind

of death and destruction.

So, unless you're willing to deal

with death on a massive scale,

you really, really,

honest to God don't wanna see that.

So, Warren,

the nice engaged man,

lives in a Chelsea doorman building,

wants to buy a gun.

Change your dagger.
