MAN: Engine 62 has been involved in a minor collision with a Volkswagen.

Sheila gave us half a million bucks, okay?

Five hundred grand. That's how much it costs for two kids to... Ow!

-Don't you put it back on me. -You're crazy. You sold my baby!

-(Giggles) -You're so beautiful.

| just love you so much.

-Let's go to your bedroom. -Well, okay.

Can you just do one little thing for me?

Yes, baby. Anything.

Okay. Well, just call your fiance, tell her we're about to have sex,

you won't be home till tomorrow

and maybe mention the little thing about,

you know, that marriage isn't your thing.

(Chuckles) You're jokin’, right?

Feel like a putz, but, uh,

what the hell.

Do me a favor, would you?

Please? And take her out? Hmm?

Hello? Hello? Oh, it's my psychiatrist. Just be a second.

Hi. No, I'm on a date.

Um, he's a firefighter.

Well, that was rude.

I'm really tired of being married to an alcoholic, okay?

You need help. You're a drunk.

And you're an idiot, but | don't rake you over the coals for it.

My being an idiot is not a choice.

Neither is my being a drunk.

You need to make a decision, Theodore.

Right now.

It's either me, or the booze.

You decide. Right this very instant.

Theodore!

Just down the street to the left.

Go to Vinny’s.

Great subs.

If you come back in a half an hour,

[THE VON BONDIES’ "C’MON, C’MON" PLAYING]

On another day C’mon, c’mon f

With these ropes tied tight Can we do no wrong? J

J Now we grieve ‘Cause now it’s gone

< Will | ever learn? I ~C’mon, c’mon f

~ C’mon, c’mon C’mon, c’mon J

All right, everybody.

So we're all here because

we love Teddy and Maggie,

and we want ’em to get healthy again.

Maybe that’s why some of us are here.

And we know they can’t get healthy until they realize

that they have a problem, and get proactive about it,

which Tommy and | can attest to.

True.

Yeah, look at Tommy. He’s healthy as a horse.

[CHUCKLES] What--?

What's that supposed to mean?

What do you think that’s supposed to mean?

Jesus, Tom. It was a compliment.

Oh, yeah? That was a compliment?

Why don’t you say something like most people?

Like, "You look good." You say something nice,

and they shit over it. Just say | look good.

Guys! Guys, guys! Please!

He started it! Please!

Give it a rest.

MICK: As | was saying,

I’ve been a part of a lot of interventions.

Okay? They’re never easy.

Some people get extremely defensive and even violent,

when they’re faced with the reality

that is their addiction.

But | just want you to remember one thing:

it’s for their own good.

Everybody bring their letter?

Yes.

Jesus, Garrity.

What? | got a lot to say.

MICK: Obviously.

Ahem. Okay.

Now...

Oh, Tom?

| got it all up here.

All right, uh, guys, I’m gonna go pick up Maggie,

and Eddie’s gonna grab Teddy.

Try and kill two birds with one stone, all right?

More like a badger and a rhinoceros.

Hey, whoa. Don’t be calling my wife a badger, all right?

You're assuming she’s the badger.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

A little backpack for your little back,

because you’re too cute.

Could you? Yeah. Okay.

And these too.

Yeah, okay.

They’re here. Yeah, I’m gonna go.

Sit down!

Yeah, good idea.

You all right?

You just haven’t said much.

[QUIETLY] I’m saving my voice.

Gotcha. Gotcha.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

All right guys.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Hey! Hey.

Thanks for coming. Hon.

Hi, Mags.

Okay, who died?

Dad’s here, so I’m guessing it’s Teddy?

Uh, Teddy’s fine, Mags.

We’re, uh...

We’re all here to talk about your problem.

My problem?

Which one?

The drinking.

[SIGHS]

This is gonna be really fun.

Mags, why don’t you, uh,

take a seat here next to your husband.

Then we'll get started.

Here.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I’m sorry, pal.

Uh, Maggie...

we just want you to know that everybody is in this room

because we love you, and we feel that you’re slipping away.

Mm-hm.

And so...you know, if you just take a moment,

we've all written down a couple of things.

And we'd like you to just listen with an open mind to some of--

MAGGIE: Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Is this one of those, uh--

Those intervention thingies?

Yeah.

[SCOFFS] Ill do it.

You'll do it?

Yeah. |’m tired of this shit.

Waking up God knows where, with God knows who,

having done God knows what.

Feeling like an atomic bomb went off inside my skull.

I’m finished.

Box me up and ship me to rehab.

Okay! You know? Wow!

We got you set up at an outpatient facility.

They have counseling there-- Cool.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Uh, this-- That's it?

She’s just gonna...?

Well, she said she was gonna do it.

| mean, I’m really proud of you, Mags.

Yeah? That’s really incredible.

Excuse me. | have a st-- What?

| have a stack of notebooks here.

I’d like to-- To say my piece.

DAD: I’m with the kid.

| got grievances to air.

Oh, blow it out of your ass, old man.

| am not gonna give you the satisfaction.

Okay. She’s not taking this seriously.

She’s gonna climb on a barstool

5 minutes after she walks out.

I’m not gonna take this seriously?

Oh, | beg to differ!

Watch this, Sean!

[PHONE RINGS]

Yeah.

Oh, God. Okay. Great.

That’s them.

The rhinoceros has landed.

Hey, guys. Hey.

Hey, everybody, look who’s here.

Hey. Teddy.

[CHUCKLING] Hey. How you all doin’?

Good. Hey, uh...

where’s the barbecue?

TEDDY: Are you nuts?

| am very disappointed in you, young lady.

Very disappointed.

This was my intervention.

Oh, I’m sorry.

But | love the show.

What’s going on?

Teddy, we just want you to know...

that everybody is in this room...

because we love you.

We do. We love you and we...

And we just-- We just want to say a couple things to you.

There’s no reason to get angry

about anything because...

We wrote letters.

Letters. And notes. We have letters...

Small. Short.

And we just want you to keep an open mind.

Oh, for chrissakes!

This is it?

Get out of my way, you goddamn pussies.

Look you, everybody’s in this room

because you are acting like a raging asshole,

and you’re pissing us off.

You are 57 years old, Theodore,

and still you behave like a goddamn child.

You take zero responsibility for all the shit you pull

to feed your habits.

We are sick of it!

You grow up, or you’re gonna lose everybody in this room,

and you’re gonna wind up drinking yourself to death.

Do you understand what I’m saying to you?

Huh?!

I’m good.

So, what are you people trying to say?

Y-- You gotta get off the sauce, Teddy.

You gotta quit drinking.

This is coming from you?

Look at this place!

Look at your life!

Does being sober make your life any easier?

Not really, but--

Well...there you go then!

Hey! Hey. It’s a process, okay?

It’s a, you know, one-day-at-a-time type of thing.

You do one day at a time, then two days,

and turn days into weeks, and then weeks into months.

And gradually, slowly, it goes from being shitty

to being good, to eventually being, uh...

great. Right?

Right, great.

EDDIE: So, what do you say, Teddy?

You gonna get some help?

Uh, no.

Aw, goddamn it!

Teddy.

Teddy.

No, no. No, no, no.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, listen to me. She’s right.

You leave now, you go out that door, that’s it.

Uh-- Ah, ah!

TOMMY: Cousins, family.

Nobody calls you back. Okay?

Even if you need help, and you call us,

we’re not calling you back. You’re done.

[GRUNTS] [GRUNTS]

Shit!

| can’t go back to rehab! It doesn’t work for me!

Good, then let us help you, Teddy! God!

Look, look-- We love you! What?

Everything’s a negotiation, right?

Teddy doesn’t want to go to rehab,

but he does want to get better.

| guess. Mick...

you start taking him to meetings?

Yeah, sure.

| mean, shit, we got enough drunks in this room

to start our own meetings.

That’s not a bad idea.

There’s no reason we can't.

TOMMY: No, right? Sure.

I’m not a drunk.

TOMMY: Yeah. Okay. [LAUGHS]

We could do it Monday, Wednesday...

Except I’m not a drunk!

This from a guy who drank a bottle of brandy...

and drove his car into a Laundromat.

Hey, that was 3 years ago, and it was snowing.

Yeah, okay, it was the weather.

Yeah. How about this? Hey, get your hands out of--

Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Exhibit A, folks.

| nip, all right? | nip. Yeah.

He nips.

But only after 3:00.

Let’s take a vote on it, all right?

All those in favor of having a family AA meeting

3 times a week, say "aye."

GROUP: Aye!

All those opposed? Nay!

The ayes have it.

| want a recount.

This salmon is cooked to perfection.

Yeah? | am really impressed.

Aw, that’s good to hear.

| wasn’t sure | could pull it off.

| never prepared anything that didn’t involve

a microwave or boiling water.

[LAUGHS]

You done good.

Thank you, baby.

So, um... | brought you something.

| was wondering when you were gonna return that.

Yeah.

You know, you were right, sweetheart.

Seeing Alicia was the thing to do.

Just made me realize that, um...

| love you more, and you’re the one that I’m meant to be with.

And now that | got Keela back in my--

"More"?

Yeah.

"More."

Right. | mean, I-- | love you more than ever.

So you love me more.

No, baby, | love you only.

But-- But, | mean, how close was it?

Was it--? You know, did | beat her by a half length,

or was it like a photo finish.

Nat. It’s done. Okay?

You’re the one.

This is good news, sweetheart.

Please, just-- Just take the ring back.

No.

You take it back.

And take all your shit with you while you're at it.

Don’t-- Don’t do this. Nat!

You’re the one who told me to go see her. Okay?

We just agreed honesty’s the best policy, right?

| was wrong.

Baby, don’t. No, no, no.

| am not your baby anymore.

I’m gonna take a long walk.

You be gone when | get back.

[WHIMPERING]

[DOG BARKING]

Wow. Wouldn't want to be a cop today, huh?

Yeah, | wouldn’t want to be a cop on any day.

Especially not today.

Gavin’s gonna be on fire out there.

They better be packing under their uniforms.

They’re gonna get slaughtered out there.

Yo, am | going colorblind,

or is that Tommy Gavin wearing a blue uniform.

SHAWN: That’s messed up, yo.

Look, let’s not rush to judgment, boys.

Guy’s trying to honor his dead brother.

Yeah, let’s hope he makes it through the game

without joining him.

He’s got some balls, eh?

You ain’t kidding.

MUNGO: Hey, guys, show a little respect.

If the situation was reversed

and it was my brother who got killed,

I’d be doing the same goddamn thing Tommy’s doing.

Hey, Mungo. Soon as the puck drops,

| want you to rip Gavin’s goddamn head off.

You got it, coach.

[PEOPLE SHOUTING, CHATTERING]

Am | the only one who’s confused about who to root for now?

No.

Good.

[GRUNTING]

Oh, yes!

[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]

Sorry.

COACH: Mungo!

Will you knock Gavin on his goddamn ass, please?

Okay, you know, now I’m starting to feel

a little weird about this whole thing.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Hey, Mikey. Where you at, man?

Oh. I’m home. I’m just sitting around.

What’s the matter? You sound whack.

| was just drinking some vodka,

and | was popping some of the pills the doc gave me.

Hey, you want to come over after the game and hang out?

Uh, | don’t know. You think you'll still be conscious?

Maybe.

Yeah, | don’t think so, man.

| got all my stuff in Shawn’s car.

We gotta drop it by his place.

Black Shawn?

Yeah. Nat kicked me out.

So you’re-- You're moving in with him?

Yeah. Why didn’t you just...

come and crash with me, bro?

Well, to be honest, Mikey, | really didn’t think

you'd want any houseguests after the whole Garrity thing.

Don’t take it personally.

How the hell am | supposed to take it, Frank?

| mean, I’ve known you 6 years, and you don’t have the decency

to hit me up for a place to crash?

What kind of selfish prick are you?

Mikey, | just...

Ah. Never mind.

Have fun with Black Shawn, asshole.

How’s he doing?

Still gay.

You can’t just take a guy like that.

What are you gonna do? Call the goddamn cops?!

Get him! Get him, Mungo!

Get Gavin!

You're not staying?

| can’t be around you right now.

Okay, well, that’s funny ‘cause l|’m your husband, so...

Yeah. | don’t feel right around you, Sean.

Really? Is that why every time we get close,

you got that look on your face

like I’m coming after you with a hammer?

You know what? You might as well be.

There’s all this pressure around you

to do the right thing.

Well, it’s just too heavy, and it makes me want to drink.

Maggie. I’m just trying to help, okay?

Leave me alone, all right?

You call that being a gentleman? No, no, no.

You should’ve thrown it away, torn it up.

You should’ve done something with it.

Didn't have time. You didn’t have time.

Your daughter is a really nice girl.

I’ve seen death-wish schmucks like you getting people seared,

and I'll be goddamned if it's gonna happen here.

| didn’t ask anybody to come in after me.

You don’t have to. Everybody’s got a gut.

Il tell you one thing.

Jerry used to like when | did this.

Just keep it up, okay?

You'll be discussing it with Jerry soon.

What are you guys looking at?

Change my goddamn pants.

Hey, uh--

[CLEARS THROAT]

Can | ask you something? Go ahead.

Promise you're not gonna be mad. I’m not gonna be mad.

Promise you're not gonna hit me. Promise I’m not gonna hit you.

Promise. Okay, | promise.

[DISPATCHER CHATTER OVER SPEAKERS]

Hey, you sure it’s not better if you just go in there

and talk to him alone, Lou? |’m--

No, no. | mean...

Tommy’s skating on thin ice already with this guy.

| think it’s better that, you know, we show some unity.

You know, some support. Solidarity.

Word. All right, let’s go.

Let’s do it. [CLEARS THROAT]

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

SID: Yeah.

Hey, listen, chief. We were, uh--

Oh, my God.

Uh, Tommy...

[GASPS]

[PHONE RINGS]

JANET: Hello?

| Know you took the baby.

Yeah. My baby.

Wyatt. What?

Like-- Like Wyatt Earp.

Jesus Christ. You know what?

You’ve taken the Costner thing a little too far now.

Hey, you’re lucky | didn’t name him Dances With Wolves.

Why don’t you just call him Kevin, for chrissake?

It’s too on the nose.

Yeah, too on the nose...

you know, he’s like 60 and bald now.

You know that, right?

Look, he’s 60, sexy and bald.

What do you want?

Yeah, the baby seems real happy about the Wyatt Earp thing.

Look, he’s just hungry. [BABY WAILING]

Yeah, where are you?

In a hotel.

Why don’t you run down to the vending machines

and see if they have Similac in there for him, huh?

You want the money for Katy and Colleen,

you gotta give the baby back to Sheila.

Yeah, uh, speaking of which, | need some money soon.

Hey, no baby, no money.

That’s the way it works. You understand?

No, no, no. | keep the baby, and you give me money.

That’s how it works.

Really? Okay, keep living in fantasyland.

Put my daughter on the phone.

No.

That’s--

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Yeah? It’s Mike.

| need to talk to you. Go ahead. Shoot.

In person.

Mikey, | don’t have the time right now.

What’s going on?

I’m cracking up over here.

|-- | don’t know what to do.

I’m having really bad thoughts.

You been drinking?

Yeah, a-and | took some pills.

Okay, do me a favor, all right?

Stay on the phone and keep moving around, okay?

Mike? Yeah.

Repeat that back to me.

Don’t-- Don’t move around.

Keep moving around, okay?

And stay on the phone. Mike?

Mikey?

Listen to-- Mike? [GROANS]

Shit.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

TOMMY: Mikey!

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

TOMMY: Hey!

Hey. Hey, how are you doing?

’m-- I-I’m fine.

| was just a little high, and I, uh--

| was drinking and I-l panicked...

and, um, | called you, | shouldn’t have.

I’m-- I’m sorry. | got a little scared.

You all right?

Oh. Y-- Yeah, I’m fine.

What'd you take?

Um...I-l-] took a-- A few, um, Percocets and--

And whatever Advil | had left.

How many Percocets did you take?

Uh, | don’t know.

Whatever was left. Like three.

Three?

Yeah.

What’s--? What’s going on with your ass?

Oh, I-- | cut myself.

| don’t wanna monday-morning- quarterback you here,

but if you’re trying to commit suicide,

you're supposed to cut your wrist--

Yeah, | know. I--

I’ve just been, um--

Like, t-- Uh, taking these pills, you know,

a-a-and | never messed with ’em before, you know.

And they got my head kinda, like... messed up.

And | was thinking about my mom and the chief,

a-a-and | got thinking these crazy thoughts.

But I’m all good. I’m--

I-I’m sorry. I’m good.

You're good?

Yeah.

Yeah. How much you been drinking?

Uh, like...this-- Like this much.

Yeah, that’s a real good mix, kid. Yep.

I’m gonna make some coffee.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Mm-hm. I’m gonna, um--

I’m gonna go put some water on my face, okay?

Hey, Mike.

Hey. Hey. Mike!

[RATTLING DOORKNOB]

[SIGHS]

Open the door, Mike.

Leave me alone.

You want me to knock the goddamn door down?

Is that what you want?

No, uh, just go.

Mike...

Leave me alone, Tommy.

I’m good!

All right.

See you later... all right?

What, you’re going?

Yeah, I’m going. See ya.

Tommy?

[DOOR CLOSES]

Tom?!

You still here?

[WHININGLY] Tom?

[YELLS]

Let’s go. Come on.

Hey! What are you doing?!

Tommy!

[GRUNTS]

Show me where you were gonna jump.

| just wanna go downstairs.

Show me where you were gonna jump.

I’m not-- Tommy--

Is that the side? Huh? Over here?

Huh? Ow.

Is that it?

Take a look. Take a look, Mike. No!

Take a look. Huh? Take a look, huh?

Come on, you’re scaring me. Yeah?

That’s the whole idea.

Come on. Take a drink. Tom, come on.

| just want to sit down. Take a drink, Mikey.

Pussy.

Tom. Come on. You don’t have to do this.

It’s cool, man. I’m good now.

| told you, |-- | just--

| came up here for some fresh air, you know?

|-|-I’m-- You-- You know me.

My mom and everything. Y-- Y-- Y--

It’s cool, Tom. Just...

[CLEARS THROAT]

Can we just go back down?

Got a smoke, kid?

Yeah? Yeah.

[GROANS] Oh, boy.

[EXHALES]

[SNIFFLES]

[GROANS]

Got a light?

[GROANS] Oh, boy.

Thanks. You’re welcome.

Wow.

[EXHALES]

Uh, it’s been a while. Whew.

Well--

[CLEARS THROAT]

Kid...

Gotta look at the bright side.

At least your mom...

died before you did. You know what | mean?

That’s, a...natural course of events, you know?

Know what I’m saying?

Parents are supposed to die before their kids.

That was one of the things that was so...

screwed up about 9/11, you know?

All these guys... doing the right thing, dying...

parents having to bury ‘em.

It’s not right.

Besides, I’m sure your mom was a pain in the ass

half the time anyways.

Half the time she called,

you probably looked at your phone

and let it go to voicemail, right?

Because you didn’t want to talk to her.

Much as | love my wife... [SNIFFLES]

same thing, man.

Sometimes, you know... we’d separate...

arrange the schedule so we didn’t have to see each other,

except in passing for a couple weeks at a time.

And then, you know, you see ’em for...

a couple hours and, you know...

you start to get all those great feelings back.

Then a couple of days later you hate ’em again.

But at least she died before you did.

‘Cause 1’ll tell you what. There’s nothing worse than...

burying your kid.

| did it, you know?

| remember after 9/11, when they found, uh, Jimmy--

What was it, like,

when they...pulled his body out.

After the funeral we were...

having a...

party, whatever, and...

my Aunt Bridie, his mother, was having a rough time, and

my cousin Noreen, his sister,

was trying to help her along and she said,

"You know, Ma, the only thing that’s really gonna...

make this go away is time."

lll never forget what my Aunt Bridie said.

She said, "I’m 77 years old.

| don’t have enough time."

It’s the truth.

| could live to be 106. I’m not gonna get over...

Connor.

And he was a real pain in the ass that morning.

He was riding that bike in and out, in between cars--

You know, | was trying to fix the truck.

[EXHALES]

But...1 got two healthy kids.

Whatever else | say about my wife,

she’s been a great mother, you know?

A lot to be said for that, you know?

A lot.

Hey, do me a favor, will you?

Step on that for me.

You got it? Yeah.

It was water, asshole.

Jesus Christ. You scared the shit out of me.

This building ain’t up to code.

You okay? Yeah, |’m...fine.

Shit.

Mike.

[GRUNTS]

Go, uh-- Go get your, uh...neighbor.

Tell, uh-- Tell em to open this window here, all right?

Okay.

[SIGHS]

Shit.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,

Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
