- I'm sorry.

Was I giving myself a blow job

just then?

That is a horrible thing to say.

I don't remember you complaining

about it at the time.

Linda should go visit her Aunt Rhoda

for a few weeks.

- What?

- She can't watch you go through this.

It's tearing her apart.

Look at what just happened.

I'll drive her there tomorrow.

Billy. Finally got through

to that specialist.

And?

Good news. Based on your test results

and what I've told him...

it's definitely not a parasite.

Not a tapeworm.

- What does he recommend?

- The Glassman Clinic.

They're expecting you tomorrow.

And, Billy, even if

you don't want to go...

you have to,

for Heidi's sake.

She's upset.

Mike.

Leda was eating alone

again last night.

Is the judge sick?

Out of town.

His sister was

in a pretty bad car accident.

Cary Rossington

doesn't have a sister.

Then it was Leda's sister.

You have to relax.

See you tomorrow.

Leda.

Is Cary in?

He's in Minnesota

visiting relatives.

What's wrong with him?

Has he lost weight?

What are you talking about?

I've lost 100 pounds.

That's spelled

with a one and two zeroes.

It was the Gypsies, wasn't it?

What do you mean, "Gypsies"?

Did the old man touch you?

What does that have to do with...

[Laughing]

Come on in, Billy.

Here. You'll need this.

He is in Minnesota...

but he's not visiting relatives.

He's at the Mayo Clinic.

Leda...

there's no such thing

as Gypsy curses.

You trying to convince me

or yourself?

He came up to us as we were coming out

of La Zuppas, that place over in Milton.

Cary was hunting for his keys.

He never saw the old man coming.

I did. I tried to warn him,

but I was too late.

He touched him.

Then he whispered something

in his ear.

Cary claims he didn't hear

what it was.

I heard.

What?

What did he say?

One word.

Lizard.

His skin was plating,

turning into scales.

It's evolution in reverse.

A sideshow freak.

Lord Jesus.

He chartered a plane

to take him to the Mayo.

Did I tell you that? He can't bear

to have people look at him.

At the end, before he left,

his hands were like claws!

His eyes were just two bright little

specks inside these deep hollows.

Like pieces of tin foil!

And his nose...

I have to go

to the Glassman Clinic.

I have a metabolic disorder.

Why did you come here?

Why are you looking

for my husband?

I just wanted

to compare notes.

God. What did he say to you?

- What did the old gyp say to you?

- Nothing!

I don't believe that.

I believe it's all your fault.

You hit that old lady!

You were the one that hit her!

You! Not Cary!

I wrote on the fence, but your husband

slapped on the whitewash.

He was too happy to do it.
