The Woodsman
On your left.
On your right.
You must check in
with your P.O. Once a week.
Your P.O. Is entitled
to visit at any time.
You cannot come
within 300 feet of...
You must register immediately
upon return...
- Walter?
- Hey, Bob.
It's good to see you.
That's Mary-Kay.
The only reason I'm doing this is 'cause
I know you did good work for my father.
So you be here on time.
You do your work.
I don't want
any kind of problem, period.
God, that looks awful.
Yeah.
Now, this looks good.
Want some? Homemade.
No, thanks.
You won't taste
a better chicken salad in town.
I said no, thank you.
I'm sorry. I got to get back to work.
- So, how are you adjusting?
- I'm adjusting okay.
- And your new apartment?
- Apartment's okay.
- How's the job?
- The job's okay.
Do I take "okay" to mean
you feel good about working there?
I said the job's okay.
That's right. You did.
- Vicki!
- F*** you, a**hole.
- Come on. What's wrong, huh?
- Kiss my ass.
You don't need to think fast
to handle a beer.
Well, it took some talking
to convince your super I was a relative.
Yeah, well, I told her
all my relatives were good-looking.
- Jesus Christ, man, it's good to see you.
- Yeah, you too.
You look good...
damn good,
considering you're an old man now.
Feels like the whole world's
gotten younger.
So, you're doing okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
- How's business?
- Booming.
Can't keep up with the work.
In fact, I just hired a few new guys.
Just until, you know, we catch up.
Living across the street
from a grade school. Jesus.
Something wrong with that?
I'm just thinking of the noise.
It's the only landlord in town
who'll take my money.
So, how's Annette?
A little tense.
You know, you're the only member
of the family still speaking to me.
Yeah, well, I remember when
they all gave Annette sh*t...
because she married the brown-skinned boy
from down the street... except her brother.
And what about Annette?
I'm workin' on it.
- So how old is Carla?
- She's gonna be 12 next week.
a big party on Saturday.
I wish I could ask you to come.
Good enough
to eat today, baby.
Ooh, yeah.
What the f*** do you think
you're doing, huh?
How'd you like it if someone did
that sh*t to your sister, huh?
Piece of sh*t!
F*** off!
Clean that sh*t up!
- Oh, yeah.
- Play with yourself, a**hole!
You okay?
What?
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm f***ing fantastic.
So, what'd he do?
- What did who do?
- You know, the new guy.
Drugs, armed robbery,
manslaughter...
Mind your business, Mary-Kay.
Have you made any friends there?
I'm not running for Mr. Popularity.
You seem a little hostile today.
It's called sarcasm, Dr. Rosen.
No need to call me doctor.
I'm a therapist, not a psychiatrist.
It's all the same to me.
Walter, I'd like you
to try something for me.
- What's that?
- I'd like you to keep a journal.
- No f***in' way.
- Why not?
Evidence.
Perhaps a journal would
encourage you to reflect.
Try it?
Sixteen, 17, 18, 19, 20.
How about that?
Want a ride?
- I'm all right.
- It's f***ing freezing out here.
- I'm fine.
- Come on. I won't bite.
Something wrong
with this picture.
Here's this nice, hard-working guy...
suddenly appears out of the blue.
Takes the bus to and from work.
I mean, who takes
the bus anymore?
People who don't have cars.
- It's very weird.
- Not as weird as a sharp, young...
good-looking woman
working in a lumberyard.
Oh, yeah?
Most women wouldn't choose it.
Guess I'm not like most women.
I thought you were a dyke.
- Are you?
- What do you think?
You plan on drinking
both those beers?
I'm sorry.
- Is that a school?
- K through sixth.
Doesn't it get noisy?
I like the noise.
I used to think you were shy...
but now I think it's something else.
What?
- Yeah?
I'm not easily shocked.
I get that impression.
So, you gonna tell me your dark secret?
Why do you want to know?
before we have sex?
I don't like to waste time.
So, you gonna tell me
your deep, dark secret?
No.
Okay.
So, you're not a dyke.
Not tonight.
Hey, that was intense.
You're still here.
I didn't say I didn't like it.
What are you doing?
This table's a heavy little b*tch, man.
It's cherry.
This wood. It's cherry.
It's a nice table.
It's my own design. You're not gonna
find another one like it in the world.
- It was a beautiful gift.
- So, why are you giving it back to me?
Because, man, you need a table.
Carlos, I made this table for you
and Annette as a wedding present.
- I put a lot into it.
- I know, man.
I love the table too.
But I also love my wife.
Hey, you got a beer?
"I watch the kids arrive at school.
But for the last few weeks,
I've noticed someone else watching them.
I call him Candy. "
She's at the top
of her class at school.
How about your kids?
- They're good.
- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah?
She's really doing great at school.
I don't see her much, but...
- I'd keep away from him.
- What?
The new guy.
I'd keep away from him
if I were you.
- Oh, yeah? Why's that?
- I think he's damaged goods...
real damaged.
- You know what I mean?
- Yeah, Mary-Kay, I think I do.
Thanks a bunch for the advice.
Suit yourself.
Close, but no ciggy.
Thanks, babe.
