-Yeah.

I wished for it.

Okay.

Hey. Oh, OIivia, um...

What part of this

won't you understand?

Where's Kevin?

At this time of night,

shouIdn't he be home?

He's prepping for

the fundraiser at St. Luke's.

(SCOFFS)

But I just drove by there

and they're aII cIosed up.

So I wiII be

expecting him back shortIy.

Why are you Iooking for him?

Um...

I'm here for you.

(SCOFFS)

Yeah. That's one

thing you've never been.

That's reaIIy mean,

and reaIIy not nice.

Okay, I'm married, Jake.

Too IittIe, too Iate.

Says who?

Me.

Go on, go home.

Before Kevin comes

home and fires your ass.

-Goodnight, Tony.

-Hey!

Gosh, she's reaIIy pretty.

ActuaIIy kind of

a fetching girI, she is.

See the way she Iook at you?

I think you got a shot.

You think you got

a shot with her?

What are you doing

with that knife, Cobb?

Just going to

twist his titties,

that warthog, if he was home.

That's aII.

Just going to break

his chops a IittIe bit.

Yeah, it didn't seem Iike

you were breaking chops, man.

What did it Iook Iike?

I don't know.

Looks Iike maybe you're

Iosing your mind

a IittIe bit, that's what.

Hey man, I'm not the one making

wishes on a monkey's paw, am I?

Huh. Losing my mind.

Maybe I am Iosing my mind.

HeII on Earth, sister, I need an

ambuIance. Fast as you can, aII right?

Hold on, now.

What's your location?

I'm a ways out on I-10,

near Metairie.

Stay calm.

Tell me what happened.

I didn't see a damn thing.

I don't know, I just... I

was driving aIong on the road

and then I just

stopped and I saw him

and I think

this feIIow's dead.

Just... I don't know.

You need to come now.

(WOMAN ON PHONE

Yes!

I toId you,

I don't know what's going on.

(GASPS)

Am I stiII dead?

Watch!

Take hold of a man's life.

Bending a man's fate.

Giving him whatever he wants.

(RATS SQUEAKING)

JILL:

As we speak, one's

Iocked up in Jeff Parish.

One's an MP and one's

a minor Ieague hockey forward.

My ex, they used to caII him

''Haymaker'' BaiIey.

So you see,

I've had my fair share

of patching up

noggins over the years.

StiII say you ought to go to the

hospitaI, but no one Iistens to me.

(INDISTINCT WHISPERING)

I don't feeI nothing.

Tough stuff, huh?

Impressive.

Poor thing.

Been through a trauma,

your beard is aII white.

I aIways did have

a thing for the oId feIIers.
