to somebody else's life, man.

It ain't up to you.

You lying son-of-a-b*tch.

Looks like your back doesn't

hurt you after all.

Workman's comp, my ass.

Hey!

You're the woman from over there.

You always make it a habit to

water your plants at night?

Sh*t has to grow.

You're obviously not from around here.

People do all kinds of

sh*t at night in Arizona.

Geri Woods.

Short for Geraldine, but

your ass can call me Geri.

Sydney, and your

ass can call me Sydney.

Yeah, see you around.

You sure you really want to do that?

And what is it that I'm doing?

Settin' yourself

up to fail, big time.

I'm sorry. Do you know me?

No, I don't, which

is pretty f***in' weird

becuase I still know you're

settin' yourself up to fail.

You know what?

I'm just bringing donuts to my friend.

And I'm f***in' Miss America.

You know, who do you think you are?

Whoa, look.

Don't get your panties all in a bunch.

I'm just tryin' to help you out.

Hey.

You'll figure it out.

Hey!

Hey, I...

I was just coming to get Matt.

Yeah, the boys are playing.

Here, I brought you these.

Thanks.

You okay? You wanna come in?

No I'm just...

I'll come get him later.

Hey, what if this was your one moment

to actually be happy?

Wouldn't you want to see

what it looks like?

Hey, Tony.

Come here, hon.

Can you get your brother's stuff together?

Your mom's going to be here soon.

Thanks, hon.

Welcome.

This friend of yours, Jane,

seems interesting.

So, she had an interview this morning?

Yeah.

Then what's she been doing for money

this whole time?

She's...

I think she's been working

as a spiritual healer,

but that was a long time ago.

Really? Equipped

with a crystal ball?

No, Corey.

She's been on disability.

You know, she's had a rough childhood.

Maybe you should give her a break.

A burn victim on disability?

Sounds like a claimant to me.

You know, not everybody's cheating.

Hey.

Thanks for watchin' the babes.

That's awesome of you.

My wife's the one

with the big heart.

Aww.

We met overseas.

High school sweethearts.

Daddy's little girl never saw me coming.

Yeah, Corey was in

the Marines at the time,

and I was a military brat.

He proposed to me three days after

my high school graduation.

Wow.

Yeah. God, my parents flipped.

Well, that's really young.

I mean, you shouldn't stop

fishing on your first bite,

and, Corey, I mean, robbin'

the cradle just a little bit,

don't you think?

Just a little bit?

I'm just kidding.

I'm a little nervous.

Ehh, it's only 'cause

it's your first time.

Want a bite?

No, I'm good.

Are you sure?

Okay, one little one.

So do you believe in this whole

forbidden fruit thing?

Oh, no. I don't think about that.
