He's gonna hate you.

What do you know?

I know that men don't like women

who try to own them.

I like you. I like the kids. I would

never do anything to screw it up.

You swear you're not

interested in him?

I swear to God.

- There. Did you see it?

- I'm not sure.

- See anything yet?

- It's just starting.

But we should be getting

The Quadrantid is the shortest

meteorite shower, but the densest.

Except for the Perseids.

You and Starr, you having a beef?

No.

Why?

Just something she said.

I guess it's hard getting older...

...pretty girl coming up in the house.

Ray, honey? What are

you doing out here?

Nothing, baby.

Just having a smoke.

Looking at the stars.

And this is $40,

not even $40 a month.

- Forty dollars is $40.

- You waste $200 in one night.

- You've been doing it weekly.

- I won last week.

What else are you doing

with the money, Ray?

- You can't even look at me.

- I'm looking right at you.

You weren't. And you've got

your car out there.

God knows what you spend on that.

That comes out of my pocket.

- Don't ruin this.

- Ruin what?

You didn't come in till 3:00

in the morning.

- I was with John.

- She's drinking again.

And who else?

I saw you eyeing her.

Thought you all were

going to a movie.

I had a lot of homework.

- How come you aren't playing poker?

- The game got cancelled.

- They coming home soon?

- Not too long.

Well, there's plenty

of food if you want.

Thanks.

This isn't right.

Is everyone gone?

- It is my business! This is my house!

- It is not!

- Get out of my room!

- You abide by the laws I put down!

I am not gonna get out! I waited up for

you. I want to know who you were with!

Don't give me your sh*t.

You stayed up to drink.

- I stayed up to catch you, you whore!

- You should know.

Try it again,

I'll take you out, b*tch.

Carolee! You walk out that door,

don't you bother coming back.

Why the hell would I want to? I've been

down this road with you before, Mom.

Sorry, Davey.

I can't go through this again.

Carolee.

You used to like it before you started

doing that b*tch. Admit it, bastard!

- You're screwing her!

- You need to call your sponsor.

- Screw my sponsor!

- Go back to bed.

I should've gotten rid of her.

Know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna go in there

and cash her check.

Hey, Starr. Starr. Hey! Starr!

Give me that gun.

- What the hell is wrong with you?

- Get off!

Starr! Starr!

Get off of me, goddamn it!

Get off of me!

No, Ray! Goddamn it, Ray.

Get off of me!

No, don't cry. We're not like that.

We're the Vikings, remember?

Astrid? Can you talk to me? Astrid?

Astrid? Can you talk to me? Astrid.

Talk to me. Can you talk to me?
