because I have never

been anything

but completely supportive and

accepting of you and Daniel!

Accepting?

Accepting?

What does that mean?

Well, I'm accepting

of you and Philip, too.

Thank you so much for deigning

to accept me, Trish!

Now you're just

twisting my words.

You know what?

Let me ask you something.

Has Stuart or Brenda ever heard

you refer to Jason as 'my boy' -

with that knowing

little smirk of yours,

my 'pet project

from the projects'?

Let me tell you something.

They didn't have

to hear it from me.

It was all over school!

And I tried to warn you,

but you didn't want

to hear about it!

- You do think it's my fault.

- I never said that!

No wonder people are assuming

the worst about me.

I mean, with purported

friends like these,

I ought to be burning at

the stake by Christmas.

Hey, I got an idea...

why don't we put you

on the stand in my defense?

You have one hell of a nerve.

Who was it who

bailed you out of jail?

Who was it?

It was me and Philip!

And I'm grateful.

Grateful?!

That was the night I found out

my goddamn cancer came back!

Trish... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I say a lot of

stupid things, okay?

Is that a big surprise?

But look around you, Michael.

Where are all

your other friends?

Huh?

Where are all your other friends

that know

the right things to say?

- They're gone.

- Excuse me.

I think I'm gonna

wait in the car.

- Hey, I'm sor...

- No. Please.

Michael...

Why didn't you tell me

you had a prior arrest?

Oh, I see.

That was a mix-up.

The charge was dropped.

Reduced...

From soliciting sex

to indecent exposure.

That's pretty serious,

all things considered.

You might have told me.

It's irrelevant.

It was years ago.

Well, that's why it took

this long to surface,

but it's surfaced now.

I'm sure you can imagine

how something like this

is gonna look around here.

This is a game-changer, Michael.

Geez, I don't know...

Maybe my sister's

right about all this.

I could probably get

that builder of yours

to finish what he started.

I'm good with contracts.

But this is...

And now with Trish sick again...

There's this lady

over in Branford.

Off the bed.

Come on, baby.

Go, go, go, go, go.

They didn't find my pot.

Sorry about your computer.

Oh, my God - your book.

You'll get it back.

Maybe.

You know, you got

to go easier on Trish.

People...

People say things that

they don't mean sometimes.

Well, it's what she means

that I wonder about.

She's not the problem.

I know.

Come here.

Oh, f***.

I was your student.

You were in your 20s.

We both were.

It's totally different.

I was your T.A. In college.

You think what

they're saying is true.

No...
