Hey, I love Doo Dee.

Mmm.

Mmm!

These hot dogs are really good.

Thanks.

We have them every night

for supper.

- Mmm!

Can I give her a hot dog?

Wiener dogs love hot dogs.

Well, she has kind

of a sensitive stomach.

Does she get diarrhea a lot?

Um...

Go ahead.

Go ahead, April.

Doo Doo

Say, April.

It's a beautiful day outside.

Would you like to go for a walk?

What for?

I just thought it would be nice

if we could talk.

Yeah.

I like talking.

Me, too.

What should we talk about?

I'm really glad

we're getting to have

this one-on-one time,

kind of...

girls only, you know?

'Cause I wanted

us to get the chance

to bond and talk about things.

Tommy, Brandon.

The way sometimes he just

doesn't get me, you know?

And then his elusiveness

and intractability.

Relationships.

Oh.

Why are you stopping, April?

Can we go back inside?

Oh, already?

I want to go home.

Did I say something wrong?

Heads up, b*tch.

I win, I win, I win!

Yeah! Let's play again!

Uh, okay.

Okay, but let's take

a little break first.

How long?

- 10 minutes.

- Five minutes.

Okay, five minutes.

- Five minutes.

- Five minutes.

- And then we play again.

- And then we'll play again.

Five minutes.

Uh, come on,

let's go outside.

Okay.

Tommy?

Yeah?

You know how Dad

had a drinking problem?

Yeah. But he worked

real hard.

Now he doesn't drink anymore.

But then he started

drinking again.

- He did?

- Yeah.

But he told me he stopped.

He stopped...

and then he started again.

Why?

He couldn't help himself.

But he told me he stopped.

The drinking made Dad

very sick.

I know.

That's why he stopped.

He died, Tommy.

But...

I spoke to him last week.

He spoke to you,

and then he died.

Why?

He drank too much.

But he told me he stopped.

He did.

And then he started again,

and he got sick and died.

But he told me he stopped.

I went looking

for Dad's family.

Tracked them down.

I thought we were his family.

He has a brother and a sister.

But we're his family.

You're right, we're his family.

He has no brother and sister.

You're right, they were just...

names.

He had no brother and sister.

You're right.

So...

he died?
