Give me one of those.

At least now he'll know what Matt's|really like.

You're probably a blessing in|disguise.

A f***ing good disguise.

God, how does a woman get so bitter?

Observation.

She's under seventeen, and she's my|sister.

I didn't take advantage of her.

She had a death in the family.|She came to us for help.

She said you'd be jealous.

What?

I'm gonna have a kid, Bill.

I'm gonna have a normal life.|That pisses you off.

Normal life?

F*** you, Matt. F*** you.

Don't talk, pack. Pack yourself,|pack her...

and get the hell out of here!

I kind of felt sorry for him.|He couldn't help being old.

I said he was really nice,|and thanks for the hospitality...

and don't tell my mom.

Here's where he finds out we took|the safe deposit money...ouch.

But he's gonna cover for us|and tell them he authorized it.

Such a nice guy.

Love him, hate me, right?

People getting dumped are always|lovable, even homos.

Wait. I can really lay it on.

It's just music.|It doesn't mean he's better than me.

You can't help yourselves.

you see someone smell a pillow or an|old T-shirt, you're a basket case.

I could've showed you the other stuff|he did besides mooning around.

He ate like a pig, for one.

He licked his plate, I'm not|kidding you.

He flossed, he clipped his|toenails, he paid some bills.

Does that make your heart break?

His boyfriend, or whatever, leaves,|and he pays the cable bill?

His boyfriend, or whatever, leaves,|and he pays the cable bill?

So he wasn't dying of pain...yet.

- Mr. Truitt?|- Yes?

- What have you done with Matt?|- Excuse me?

Matt? Matt Matteo, your boyfriend?

Mine, too.

Who are you?

Jason Bock. I went to Hoover four|years ago.

Don't even pretend that you didn't|know about Matt and l.

About Matt and me.

I have been calling for the last two|days, no answer.

He left his job, and his car is gone.|Where is he?

I have no idea.

Don't you blow me off.

I could make trouble for you,|you know, tell them you're gay.

They already know I'm gay, you|little prick.

And you came on to me when I was a|student.

Do they know that?

That's a lie.

Tell me where he is.

You got a problem?

New piercing.

Did he ever mention Dedee to you,|my half-sister?

She's visiting from Louisiana.

He's in Louisiana?

No. But he took off with her.|They're in love.

That's what he told me.

He's bi? Are you serious?

We're always the last to know.

F*** you. I wanna talk to him.

If I don't hear from him by Friday,|I'm going to the police.

For all I know, you killed him.

Then for all you know, I'm just|getting started.

Get him to call me!

Of course, he told her.

This is a major problem, Bill.

You're in denial, fine, I'm not.
