The Dinner Page #5

- Michael:
You looked, didn't you?

- Paul:
I did. I know. I saw.

This is getting weird

It was just supposed to be a joke.

You threw a burning match

at her as a joke?

She shouldn't have been there.

I mean...

The whole place stunk, Dad.

She yelled at us.

I mean, you would've done

the same exact thing.

What did she do?

- [Anna continues, indistinct]

- Um, I...

She's got to go. Get home and...

- Are you being serious?

- Hey, Michael Lohman,

I can't tell.

Time is what we need.

Time is on our side.

We got lucky.

You're gonna spin out, okay?

You just need to stop talking.

Oh, okay.

All I am saying is,

we'll get through this.

- You and me, right?

- Yeah.

I didn't throw that ball.

I got this.

[somber music playing]

[glass shatters]

Paul:
I'll pay for the damages.

Shop owner:
He did it on purpose.

Just tell me the truth.

You have no idea what we're going

through right now, okay?

He's sorry. He said as much.

That ball is like

his best friend.

Sh*t happens.

Things gets broken.

You f***ing kidding me?

- Goddamn it!

I remember you.

Because you killed her.

I don't want to be with sick people.

Uh, no, listen.

[knock at door]

Doctor:
Oh, you're looking pretty today.

Are you expecting guests?

Any minute.

- Is she going to die?

- What? No, no, I'm just saying--

See how fast we can go.

[laughs]

Okay, give me the phone.

You got to get rid of that footage.

She smokes?

You told me she didn't smoke.

- What? About Mom's cancer?

- No, about the ATM.

Why the hell did you and Rick have to

post that goddamn stuff online?

- Are you listening to me?

- Jesus Christ. Yes. I am.

You can't walk away from this.

That video will haunt you

God!

Anna is gonna take me home

[engine starts]

[car radio playing rap music]

[car door slams, radio stops]

Sweetheart,

what are you doing here?

Dad stole my phone.

How much do you know?

How much do you know?

Paul, maybe you should go inside.

I'm not hungry and don't talk to me

like I'm a retard.

Go.

[engine starts]

[radio plays]

I thought you were on my side.

You have to know

that first and foremost,

I was afraid you wouldn't

be able to handle this.

- Honey, it really doesn't--

- Who? Stop calling me honey.

Beau did it.

He found it on Rick's computer,

the footage that they shot--

It's only a few thousand.

Michael called me

after it happened.

They needed a ride home.

Calm down.

Do they know about

Beau and tonight?

And I'm just, you know,

I'm just, it's, it's, I'm alone.

- No.

- I'm alone.

You are his father.

It's not Gettysburg.

Okay?

Let's go in.

It's cold.

Paul:

...that wars are won or lost

Uh, as it happened,

Gettysburg was the beginning
