When a Man Loves a Woman Page #5

I don't want you

to worry about it.

I'm gonna find you

the best treatment...

the best in the f***ing world.

You're not alone, honey. Never.

Never.

- Okay, girls, I'll see you later.

- Bye.

- Mommy. - Amy. - Oh, I'll

just wait in the kitchen.

Okay.

So...

we'll talk on the phone

and you'll come see me.

- And then I'll be home.

- And we'll go to the beach?

- Are you gonna take care of your sister?

- I'm gonna take care of Daddy.

Sorry, baby.

It will never happen again.

Mommy loves you.

- That's us.

- Hi.

Uh, we're Alice Green.

Hi. Welcome.

Alice, before we check you in,

I need to look through your bag.

Is that all right with you?

It's strictly routine.

We've got all your

paperwork, so...

everything's ready.

Um, sorry.

So, come on, Alice,

and we'll get you checked in.

Just Alice.

Give me a minute.

I'll call you tonight.

- I'm sorry. There's no phone calls.

- Excuse me, uh-

She's my wife. She can call me

whenever she needs to call me.

She'll be in detox

until Tuesday...

and she'll be busy getting well.

She'll call you as soon

as she can after that.

I love you.

I love you.

I can hear her heart beat

From a thousand miles

Yeah, the heavens open

Every time she smiles

And when I come to her

That's where I belong

And I'm runnin' to her

Like a love song

She gimme love, love, love, love

Crazy love

She gimme love, love, love, love

Crazy love

She gimme love, love, love, love

Crazy love

Jess?

It's 6:
00 in the morning.

Kids are unbelievable.

First she wants French toast,

then she wants tuna.

And then she wants

a cucumber sandwich.

Case!

Wanna know what

she finally eats?

- She ate fruit.

- She ate fruit.

Right.

My hair hurts.

Casey, is that you?

- Oh! God.

- I did her hair.

Oh, I like it.

Let's see that hairdo.

Ooh, that's a little tight there.

Let me see that.

- Ow!

- Ooh, sorry!

- Mommy does it better.

- Oh, Mommy does everything better.

She cooks better, she looks better,

she kisses better.

Mommy's a better person.

You know, I bet you have

a lot of questions...

things you're feeling

about Mommy.

We could talk about that.

See, like if you're sad or

scared or angry or something...

- you could just-

- What's a alcoholic?

Someone with a bad habit, you know, like

if you drank stuff that made you sick.

But you really liked it, so you kept

drinking it and it kept making you sick.

Wouldn't you want

to learn how to stop?

- What's a alcoholic?

- It's why she does all that stuff.

When she does all that stuff,

like when she talks like she's sleepy...

forgets stuff,

and when she's sad.

When she cries?

She cries in the bathroom.

She, she did that a lot,

I bet, huh?
