...and it's right down
the road, straight down...

And the great...
And there's great sandwiches

and great sourdough bread.

And they have
great soups as well,

and if you have enough room...

Why do they always put braces on
teenage girls at the exact moment

they're most self-conscious
about their appearance?

I don't know.

Tom. I see him.

Tom! Jesus!

Tom!

Hello, Amy.

Hi, Darryl.

Amy, can you tell the kids
you'll be right back,

and, uh... Shut the door

and step outside and
talk to us for a minute?

Okay.

I'll be right back, you guys.

You're not supposed
to go out, Amy.

She's going
to smoke a cigarette.

Rudy, come on. I'm
really late. Come on.

How was school? Stupid.

Why do you say that?

We're supposed to write a
story for English homework,

but they didn't tell us what
it's supposed to be about.

Well, what do you mean?

I mean, they didn't tell us
what it's supposed to be about.

They said do whatever you want.

Oh, well,
what's wrong with that?

I don't know. I just
think it's unstructured.

Well, I'm sure you'll
think of something.

If you can't, I'll help you.

Okay. Here. Don't
forget your backpack.

It's not a backpack.
It's a knapsack.

Well, then, don't forget
the knapsack.

Hey. Give me a hug.

Okay.

♪ Somebody somewhere

♪ Don't know what
he's missing tonight

♪ It must have all started

♪ With that darned old Late Show

♪ It made me so lonely and sad ♪

Guess who's been asking for you?

Oh, no. Really?

Is that his car?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, come in.

Mr. Everett.

Oh, yeah. Brian.

Brian, hi.

Hi. I'm Samantha Ann Prescott.
I'm the lending officer.

Yeah, hi. Hi. How are you?

Uh, have a seat.

I am so sorry I was late.

Yeah, we missed you before.

I got held up.

But believe me, it's
nothing I make a habit of.

Oh, I'm sure it's not.

Actually, would you mind... Would
you get that door for me, please?

Thanks. Sure.

So, I always run out
at 3:15 to meet him

and run him real quick
over to the sitter's house.

Anyway, Larry never
seemed to mind about it,

so I was hoping you'd feel
the same way about it, too.

Well, Samantha,

I realize that Scottsville is not
exactly a major banking center.

No, it's not.

No, I know it's not.

But it's kind of a
personal challenge for me

to see what we can do
to bring local service

up to the kind of standards
that we would be trying to meet

if we were the biggest
branch in the state.

Now, that means I
don't really want anybody

running out at 3:15 or 3:30

or whenever the bus
happens to come in that day.

So is there anybody else who
can pick your son up after school?

Does your husband
work in the area?

Uh, no.

Rudy Sr. Isn't on the scene,
so to speak.

Well, I can give you a few days

to make some other
arrangement, but...

Well, Brian...

I understand what you're
saying and I think it's great. I do.

Because there are
a lot of things here

that could use some
attention, believe me.

But I've been meeting this bus
every day for three years now.

And it really does...
It just takes 15 minutes.

And if I take the time
out of my lunch hour...

Well, I'd prefer if you made
some other arrangement, okay?

I'll do my best.

So, how old's your son?

Uh, he's eight.

Ah, that's a terrific age.

Got a letter from Uncle Terry.

What?

What room is he gonna stay in?

Well, he can stay
in the living room.

And you know what?
He's not gonna live here.

He's only coming to
stay here for a little while.

And it's okay if you
don't remember him,

because you were only six
the last time he was here.

But, um, I think it's, uh...

It'll be nice if you guys have a
chance to get to know each other.

Don't you think?

Hey, Rudy, would it distract
you if I put on some music?

No.

Did you think of
a story? Uh-huh.

What's it about?

My father.

What about...
What about your father?

Well, it's just a
made-up story about him.

Can I read it when you're done?

It's not very good.

Don't say that.

Anyway, Bob, it's kind
of this adventure story.

Rudy's father is a secret agent

or something, you know,
working for the government.

And it made me feel
kind of weird, you know,

because I never say
much to him about Rudy Sr.,

because I don't
know what to say.

And I don't know if
I should just let him

imagine what
he wants to imagine,

or if I should sit
him down sometime

and, you know, tell him that his
father's not such a nice person.

Well, I don't know, Sammy.
What have you told him already?

Not much.

He knows...

He knows I don't have
the highest opinion of him,

and he knows that
I don't want to see him

and I don't want to know
anything about him

and I don't want to have
anything to do with him ever.

But I've tried to keep it
kind of neutral.

Anyway, I could go into
a lot more detail...

No, it's an interesting problem.

I don't really know
what to tell you.

It's, um, you know,
a little outside

my personal field of expertise.

All right.

I'd be glad to
give it some thought.

Okay.

What?

No, nothing. I'm
just glad to see you.

I'm glad you called me.

I bet you were surprised.

Yeah, a little.

I should get going.

Really?

Yeah, I have the babysitter. Oh.

But thanks for a lovely evening.

Oh, thank you.

- Hey.
- Hey, Terry.

Where'd you get that hat?

I got it on the street
for a dollar.

It's nice.

Well, you know, it's pretty
much your standard woolen hat.

I had a very similar
reaction to it.

Can I get that money from you?

Oh, yeah. Sorry.

Is that all you have?

Yeah.

Can you borrow some
more from your brother?

Well, that would involve
speaking to him.

Well, I'm definitely
gonna be gone

for a couple of days,
Sheila. I mean...

Why do you have
to stay for so long?

Because my sister is not a
bank, okay? I can't just show up...

You seem to think
my brother's a bank.

Can we just cut
the puerile crap?

I'm gonna be back
as soon as I can, okay?

I am not the kind of guy
that everyone says I am.

I know you're not.

Okay. Uh...

I'll call you tonight.

Don't you wanna tell me
that you love me?

I love you.

That was really convincing.

Well, I think
after this is over,

you should seriously
consider moving back home.

Yeah.

All right.

So you'll call me tonight?

Definitely, yeah.

♪ I'm gonna wipe
this teardrop from my eyes

♪ There ain't no use
for me to cry

♪ And there's something's
I think I need to say

♪ I'll think
about you everyday ♪

Hello? Terry!

Whoa. Terry.

That's me. Terry Prescott.

That's right.

Well, give me a cuddle.

How are you doing?
Good to see you, man.

You, too. How you doing, Darryl?
Where the hell have you been?

Oh, man, I've been
all over the place.

Which way you headed?

I'm going up to see
Sammy at the square.

Can I walk with you
a bit? Yeah, yeah.

So she said
you'd been to Alaska?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Oh, how you doing, Mr. Parker?

Good to see you.
Yeah, take care.

So what were you doing?
Were you working up there?

Mmm... Yeah, yeah.

Sammy says she was getting
postcards from all across the country.

Oh, yeah.
I've been all over, man.

Pretty cool.

It's good to have you
back here, I'll tell you that.

Oh, thanks, Darryl.
Good to see you, too.

Keep enforcing the peace.

It'll be a little harder now
you're here, but I'll do what I can.

No, man, I'm reformed.

Oh, yeah.

All right. Hey, I'll see
you around. All right.

Don't be a stranger, all right?

You, too. Take care.

Sorry about yesterday.

I don't care.

I was studying
the bus description,

and I got on the wrong bus.

I mean, I missed my
stop. I don't care, Terry.

I'm so glad to see you.

I'm glad to see you, too, Sammy.

Um, so you're coming from work?

No, it's Saturday.

Yeah. No, it's just you're
dressed so formally.

Oh. No. You know,
I thought I'd...

You know, I thought it was a
special occasion, which it is.

Oh, it's good. No, it's good.

I thought I'd get
dressed up, too.

It's okay. You look fine.

Yeah, yeah. This is the
haute cuisine of garments.

What? Nothing, nothing.

So, how are you?

I'm fine, Terry.

So... Um, how's Rudy?

We're fine, Terry.

How are you?

Uh, yeah.

Where have you
been lately, Terry?

Uh, no, I haven't been...

I got a postcard
from you from Alaska.

Yeah, yeah. I was out
there for a little while.

That was in the fall, Terry.

Yeah. I know.
I've been out of touch.

I was a little worried.
I mean...

I've been to a lot
of different places.

Uh, I was down in Florida
for a little while.

Uh, I was doing some
work in Orlando.

Man, I've been
all over the place.

Well, I wish you had just
let me know you were okay.

Yeah, I didn't realize
it had been so long.

You staying in town for a while?

Well, I don't know.

Uh, I got all these things
I got to do back in Worcester.

So I'm probably
not gonna be able

to stay for more
than a day or so.

I mean, I'm trying to
keep to a schedule of sorts.

Oh. That's...

- I just...
- That's all right.

It's a very worthy story, but I
won't trouble you with it right now.

Are you expecting someone?

Who would I be expecting here?

You just keep looking
around, that's all.

I was just, you know,
actually wondering

if we could get some more
refreshments, actually.

I actually gotta confess
to you, Sammy,

that the reason that you may
not have heard from me for a while

is that...

I've been unable to write
on the account of the fact that

I was in jail
for a little while.

You were what?

I served a little time,
I guess, down in Florida.

It was just for... It
was for bullshit. What?

It was for bullshit.
What did you do?

I didn't do anything. Does it occur
to you that maybe I was wronged?

No! Oh, my God! Well...
Would you please...

Please let me tell you what
happened. What happened?

I got into a fight in
a bar down in Florida.

Which I was not the one
who instigated it at all.

Then they worked up
all this bullshit against me

and threw me in the pen
for three months.

I didn't write you 'cause I didn't
want you to get all upset about it.

I just figured that
you would figure

I was on the road
for a little while.

It was stupid. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to make you worry.

But you wanna know what?

I can't run around doing stuff

or not doing stuff because
it's gonna make you worry.

Because then I come back here, I
tell you about my fucking traumas,

and I get this wounded little,
"I've let you down" bullshit

over and over again.

It just cramps me. I just
wanna get out from under it.

And now I'm back
in this fucking hole

explaining myself to you again.

Will you please stop
cursing at me?

I realize that
I'm in no position

to basically say anything ever,

but it's not like I'm down there

in some redneck bar in Florida,

I'm having an argument
with some stripper's boyfriend

and I suddenly say to myself,
"Hey, this would be a great time

"to really stick it to Sammy

"and get myself locked up
for a few months."

Hey! You don't write me
for six months.

I don't know where
you are! I'm sorry.

I don't know if
you're alive or dead!

I'm sorry. And then you
show up out of nowhere.

You tell me you were in jail!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Sammy.
I'm really sorry.

Sammy.

What?

I'm in the midst of
a slight predicament.

What do you need, money?

Um, yeah.

I'm broke.

I got to get back to
Worcester tomorrow.

I got this girl there,

and she's kind of
in a bad situation.

So I just need to borrow some
money, whatever you can spare.

I'll pay you back, man.

I'll pay you back.

I just...

I really wish Mom was here.

So do I, man.

No one knows
what to do with you.

Well, I know how they feel, man.

Terry, can I ask you a question?

Sure.

I mean...

Do you ever go
to church anymore?

Come on, Sammy. Can
we not talk about that shit?

Do you?

Um, no, Sammy, I don't.

Can you tell me why not?

Um, yeah, because I think
it's ridiculous.

Well, can you tell me without,
like, degrading what I believe in?

I think it's primitive, okay?
I think it's a fairy tale.

Well, have you ever
considered that maybe that's part

of what's making things
so difficult for you?

No. That you've lost hold

of, I mean, not just
your religious feeling,

but lost hold of
any kind of anchor.

I mean, any kind of
trust in anything.

No wonder you
drift around so much.

I mean, what's to stop you?

How would you ever know
if you found the right thing?

I'm not really looking
for anything, man.

I'm just, like,
trying to get on with it.

Here we go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks, Sammy. I'm
really gonna pay you back.

Where we going?

To pick up Rudy.

Well, do you not even
want me to visit now?

Because I can catch the bus
at 5:00, if that's what you want.

Of course I want you
to visit, you idiot!

I've been looking forward to
seeing you more than anything.

I told everybody I know
that you were coming home.

I cleaned
the whole fucking house

so it would look nice for you.

I mean, I thought you'd
stay at least a few days.

I had no idea that you
were just broke again.

I wish you'd just
sent me an invoice!

Hi, is that... Is that Malcolm?

Uh... Hi. This is...
This is Terry Prescott.

I'm trying to get
a hold of Sheila,

and the phone isn't picking up.

And I was wondering
if maybe you guys...

She what?

Well, is she all right?

Can I...
Can I talk to her, please?

Okay.

Um, then can you please give
her a message and tell her that I...

That girl I'm with
tried to kill herself.

What?

She tried to kill herself.

Do you have everything you need?

I think so.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know. Just send
her the money, I guess.

Maybe you should stay home
for a while.

Yeah, maybe that'd
be a good idea.

This 15-year-old says

she's sick of her brother
trying to control her.

She's dropped out of school,
she's doing drugs

and says there's nothing
he can do about it.

I'm going to bed.

Do you have everything you need?

Uh, yeah, thanks.

Good night.

Good night.

Terry,

I'm really glad you're home.

Yeah, me, too, Sammy.

Okay. So we'll drop
Rudy off at the bus,

and then all you have to do
is drop me off at the bank

and then pick Rudy up at 3:30

and drive him over
to Carol's house.

And that's it.
She lives on Harvey Lane

right past where
the Dewitts used to live.

Okay.

Rudy knows where she lives.

Okay.

God, Mabel, don't those
colors hurt your eyes?

Oh, no. It keeps me fresh.

Yeah?

Oh. Hi, Sammy.
What can I do for you?

Um, Brian, did you want us
to hand these timesheets in

at the end of the day
or at the end of the week?

Uh, yeah, end of the day
will be fine.

It just seems like an awful
lot of extra paperwork.

I like paperwork.

You showed up.

Looks that way.

Put on your seat belt.

It pushes on my neck.

What?

It pushes on my neck.
It's uncomfortable.

Well, when someone slams into us

and you go sailing
through the windshield,

that's liable to be uncomfortable,
too. Now put on your seat belt.

Mom's parents died
in a car accident.

Yeah, I know.
They're my parents, too.

They are? Yeah.

Your mom's my sister.

Yeah, I know.

So that means
we have the same parents.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Um, Carol just called.

She said that Terry and Rudy
never showed up at her house.

You've got to be kidding.

These have to be filed by
number by the account number,

not alphabetically.

Sammy?

Sammy!

Hey.

What are you doing? Look.

If you hold it further down,

you're gonna get a lot more
power on that. You know?

You should be able to hit that
nail in two or three hits. Look.

See?

Go ahead, try it.

That's not the way I hold it.

Well, the way
you hold it is wrong.

Why can't I just
hold it my own way?

You can.

One there, one there,
and one over there.

All right? You got that?

Right. Good. That's it.

Um...

Brian, did you wanna see me?

Yeah. Yeah, I was kind of wondering
what happened to you today.

Oh, didn't Mabel tell you? I
had a false alarm about my son.

Yeah, well, I kind of thought
you were gonna work that out.

Well, I did work it out,
more or less.

Well, then, what are you doing
leaving here in the middle of the day

without so much as a word
of explanation to me, Sammy?

Brian, don't yell at me.

I'm not yelling at you.
I'm just...

I'm getting a little
frustrated here. Well...

Sorry. Would you
close the door, please?

And Eddie Dwyer lives in
Buffalo with his wife and two kids,

if you can believe it.

Oh, that's depressing.

Why?

He just never struck me
as the marrying type.

Who are you talking about?

Some wild kids we used to know.

Were you a wild kid?

Not as wild as your mom.

Yeah, right. What,
you don't believe me?

No. Ask her.

Mom, were you?

No comment.

What are you doing?

Oh... Just reading
some of your compositions.

Why are you smoking?

Um, because it's bad.
Don't ever do it.

I won't.

You know this used to
be my room?

Yeah.

Do you want it back?

No.

Did you fight in Vietnam?

No, I wasn't even born yet.

Were you ever in the army?

No.

My father was in the army.

I know. Unfortunately, he
didn't fight in Vietnam, either.

Were you friends with him?

Mmm... Not really. I mean, we had
some friends in common, I guess.

I didn't like him very much.

Why not?

Well, he wasn't very likable.

Why do you say that?

I don't know.
He was always, like...

He always had to be better
than you at everything, you know?

Like, if we were all playing
basketball or something,

everybody's having,
like, a friendly game,

and he's ready to, like, kill
somebody if his team didn't win.

Or, like, if you told,
like, a joke or a story,

he always had
to tell a better one.

Kind of gets annoying
after a while.

Plus, I thought
it was pretty scummy

how he split on
you and your mom.

He was a prick.
Probably still a prick.

Fortunately for you, though,
your mom is, like, the greatest.

So you had some bad luck
and you had some good luck.

You mind if I ask you
a personal question?

I don't know.

Do you like it here?
I mean, in Scottsville?

Yeah.

Why?

I don't know.
My friends are here.

I like the scenery.
I don't know.

I know, I know. It's just so...
There's nothing to do here.

Yes, there is.
No, there isn't, man.

It's narrow, it's dull.

It's a dull, narrow town
full of dull, narrow people

who don't know anything except
what things are like right around here.

They have no perspective
whatsoever. No scope.

They might as well be living
in the 19th century,

because they have no idea
what's going on.

And if you try and tell them
that, they wanna fucking kill you.

What are you talking about?

I have no idea.

You're a good kid.

Yeah, this doesn't
apply to you, Sammy, but

I've noticed that some of the
employees are setting their PC monitors

to all kinds of crazy colors.

Purple, polka dot,
what have you.

And it's no big deal, but...

I mean, really, this is a bank, you
know? It's really not appropriate.

So I'm asking that
people use a more,

"normal range of
colors in future".

But like I said, this
doesn't really apply to you.

No, my computer palette's
pretty conservative.

Bob Steegerson.

What are you wearing?

Mom?

What's up? Do you
know that you have

an enormous leak coming
from the upstairs hallway here?

Yeah, I did.

Are you guys sure
you're gonna be okay?

Yes, yes.

What is happening here?

It's just the problem
is the pipes are

corroded the whole
length of the hall.

So every time I
put a new piece in,

it starts leaking further down.

Why don't I just
call the plumber?

Why? He's not gonna do anything
different than what I'm doing.

Yeah, we're only
making it worse.

No, we're not. Shut up.

Thanks. Thank you.

So call if there
are any problems.

If I'm not there, I'm either on
my way back home or on my way.

Okay. Nice to meet you, Bob.

Yeah, you, too.

So, lights out at 10:00. Don't
spend the whole night watching TV.

What's your idea
of the whole night?

Two hours, tops.

After you.

This kid is a sure
bet to lead the way

for the next generation
of California surfers.

What's your feeling about Bob?

I don't really
know him that well.

Well, I got bad news for you.

No...

Great. Now what are
we supposed to do?

You know how to play pool?

I've played it.

I don't think they
let kids in here.

What? I don't think
they let kids in here.

Well, we're not allowed
to watch any more TV,

so it's this or nothing.

But if we get into any trouble,

you let me do the talking, okay?

Okay.

Uh, I got 100 bucks here

says me and my nephew
can beat anybody in here.

Only we got to
get the next game,

because he's got to
be in bed by 10:00.

Just hit it nice and soft.
Nice and soft.

One, two, three.

Sorry. Goddamn, Rudy.

I thought you
said you could play.

Boys, it's all over
but the crying.

Bob, are you... Are you serious?

Yeah.

I don't know what...
I don't know what to say.

Sammy, I mean, I...

Look, I... I know that

I haven't been the most, uh...

...decisive guy in the past.

But I don't know. I am
tired of fooling around.

And I love you.

Uh, I'm totally...

I don't know what to say.

You could always say "Yes".

Or you could think
about it some more.

Would you like
to think about it?

Yeah, that's it.
I wanna think about it.

Okay.

All right. Well, uh...
Fair enough.

Don't even hit it. Just kiss it.

We creamed those guys.
We creamed them.

Don't move, don't move.

Let's go. Go, go,

What is going on here?

We were out doing
some stargazing and...

Rudy lost track of time,

which I totally
warned him about.

You are a bad kid.

Hey, I think it's okay. Just
don't tell her where we went,

'cause she'll be
really mad at me, okay?

I won't.

Hey.

I mean it, Rudy.
I'm not kidding.

I won't.

Did you know

my mommy used to take me
and Uncle Terry out at night

to look at the
constellations? Yeah.

Did you see that one...
Oh, what's the one?

It looks like a big "W".

Cassiopeia?

Yeah.

Ow! Shit!

I've got a great idea.
Why don't I call the plumber?

Do whatever you want.

Oh, what? That makes you mad?

No.

I'm sorry. Geez.

Brian, get off my ass.
Excuse me?

I did not change the colors
on your stupid computer screen.

Well, then, that's
all you gotta say.

There's nothing wrong
with the work I do here.

I didn't say there was.
I was doing just fine

the whole time
before you got here.

And if you think that riding
people in this petty, ridiculous way

is gonna improve service at
this bank or anywhere else...

Can I please...
...you're out of your mind.

May I respond?

No, that's really
all I have to say.

May I respond?

First of all,
I would appreciate it

if you would not use that language
when you're speaking to me.

I don't talk to you that way,
and I would appreciate it

if you didn't
talk to me that way.

Second of all, if you tell me
that you didn't change the colors

on my computer screen,

then of course I
accept your answer.

But you and I are gonna have
to find a way to work together.

Brian...
And that's not gonna happen

with the attitude,
with the lateness.

I do not have an attitude
and I am not late!

And it's not gonna happen with
you fighting me every step of the way.

Okay, not you.
You're not late personally.

Well, then, don't say
I'm late if I'm not late.

I would like to finish.

Robert says he won't listen
to his stepfather because...

Hey.

They were where?

Her brother tries to discipline
her, but he works nights.

Okay, you're all set.

Dave, my wife, Nancy.

Hello. Hi.

And, uh... Mabel...

This is my wife
Nancy. Mabel. Hi.

Nice to meet you.

And, uh, Chuck.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

This is Sammy,
our lending officer.

Sammy, this is my wife Nancy.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Brian, I gotta sit down.

Yeah, sure.
Let's go into my office.

If you want, I can give
you a ride home, you know?

I'm fine!

Brian? Yeah?

Mom.

Rudy!

Look. I am really glad that you
guys are getting along so well,

like you have no idea.

But if I can't rely on you to
remember to get him once a day...

You can! What are
you doing taking him

to play pool in
the middle of the night

and then telling him
to lie to me about it?

I don't know.

God!

Get out of the car.
What are we doing?

You're going to Carol's,
and I'm going home.

Why can't I come with you?

Because if you're such a baby

that you gotta tell your
mommy about us playing pool

when I totally asked you not to

and I gotta listen
to her shit all day,

then you are going
to the babysitter's

so you can stay
at the baby house.

But I didn't... You know what?

Don't even fucking talk to me.

I didn't. Get out.

You're working late.

How'd your wife like the bank?

Oh, fine.

She wasn't feeling so great.

Oh, that's too bad.

Oh, no, I don't mean...

She's not ill.
She just... I don't know.

Pregnant? Yeah, that's right.

She's pregnant.

Well, it can make
you kind of cranky.

Yeah.

Look, I'm sorry that we've been
stepping on each other's toes.

Yeah, so am I.

I'm really not that bad a guy.

I know you're not, Brian, but
you're driving everybody crazy.

Well, I'm trying
to do my best here.

And I'm getting
it from all sides.

I know you are.

Anyway, we'll work it out.

Well, I could use a beer.

I could use a tranquilizer.

Last I heard, Rudy's dad
was living in Auburn.

But that was a year ago.

It must be so tough, trying
to raise a kid on your own.

I'm starting to think my wife
wouldn't mind a crack at it.

Oh, it's just hormones.

Well, no,

it isn't, but never mind.

Thanks. Thanks.

Sure.

Well,

here's to improved
employee-management relations.

Amen.

You know, you can't judge

all of Scottsville by the
people in that bank, believe me.

Well, let's, um...

Let's not talk about
the bank. Okay.

Let's just forget
about the bank for tonight.

Good idea.

Sammy?

Yeah?

I want you to
tell me who changed

the colors on my
computer screen.

I'll never tell.

Where were you?

Nowhere.
I had dinner with my boss.

Kind of a late dinner, ain't it?

Yeah.

How is Rudy?

Fine. He's asleep.

Did the plumber come?

Yeah, the fucking plumber came.

Terry, just give me a break!

What's the matter
with you? Nothing!

I'm... I'm just tired.

Wanna smoke some pot?

No, I don't.

Why, you got some?

So, Bob asked me to marry him.

Wow. What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

If he'd asked me the same time
last year, I probably would've said yes.

But I don't know.
The minute he asked me,

it was like someone
was trying to strangle me.

Whoa. Bad sign.

Yeah, I know.

Plus...

Terry, I fucked my boss.

What? I know.

I know. His wife is
six months pregnant.

Jesus Christ, Sammy!
I know, I know.

I'm sorry I got so mad
at you before. I just...

Oh, man, it's cool. I don't
want him to be afraid of telling.

You know, I just don't
want him to be scared.

I really don't think
that's his problem, Sammy.

No? What... What do
you think his problem is?

Well, I think his problem
is that he's totally sheltered.

I mean, you treat the kid
like he's three instead of eight,

so that's how he
behaves. Uh-huh.

Well, how do you think
he should behave?

Well, I don't think he should have
to run and tell Mommy every time

he does something that she
might not approve of, for one thing.

I mean, I took him
to play pool, okay?

It was a little clandestine
thing we did for fun.

It wasn't a big secret.
I mean, who cares?

I mean, I was actually
trying to be nice to him.

But he's so freaked out
that he disobeyed your orders

that he's got to
fucking squeal on me,

and then I got to fucking
listen to your shit all day.

And I didn't fucking
do anything. Okay.

First of all, he didn't say
anything. Darryl did. Okay?

And second of all,
I don't give a shit

if you take him
out to play pool.

I was mad at you because you
left him at the bus stop in the rain.

But no, I don't want you
telling him not to squeal

because I don't want him
put in that position.

Well, that is a perfect example
of what I'm talking about.

You are an idiot.

So what are you saying?
Darryl told you?

Yes!

Good morning.

Yeah, good morning.

Could you shut the door, please?

Brian, I just want to...

Brian.

That's enough.

You're awfully quiet.

Sorry.

So have you thought at all
about what I said?

Well, sure,
I've been thinking about it.

So any decisions, or...

Do you want to think
about it some more?

Well, I mean...
I don't know, Bob.

I mean, it's not like
we've been going steady

for the last few months,
if you know what I mean.

Yeah. No, I know.

And then we see
each other twice,

and then you suddenly
say you want to get married?

No, you're right. You're right.

I mean, what are
you talking about?

I... I don't know. I...

Last year, I...

I thought that
maybe you were possibly

interested in that idea.

But I was the one who wasn't
ready, you know, at that point,

so that's why I sort of thought
things slowed down with us.

Don't make me feel bad for you.

I don't want you
to feel bad for me.

Yeah? Well,
where were you last night?

Hello.

It's Brian.

Brian, where are you?

I'm buying milk. Just
thought I'd say hello.

Look, I know it's
probably too late, but...

Is there any way you can
come out for a little while?

Brian, I think
you're going crazy.

I know I am. Can you meet me?

Um...

Okay.

Um, I have to go out for a little
while. Do you want anything?

Like what?

I don't know.
Where are you going?

Yeah, where are you going?

Um, I... I just have to go out
for a little while.

Where? Yeah, where?

I'm going to Mabel's house.

Why?

You know what, Rudy?
It's personal.

It's... It's a personal matter
that has to do with Mabel,

and I just have to go
see her for a little while.

Listen.

Listen, I'm sorry
I said you squealed on me.

I was totally out of line and
I really owe you an apology.

Did you hear me?

I don't care.

I'd like to introduce myself.

♪ I'm the other woman

♪ The other woman
in your husband's life

♪ Now everybody's blaming me

♪ I'm the other woman

♪ But who are they to judge
who's wrong or right

♪ Their whispers
might be different... ♪

What's on your mind, Sammy?

Well, a lot.

But, principally, I was just
wondering if you had an opinion.

If you know
someone in your family

or even just someone
who you really care about

and they just can't quite
get a hold of themselves...

Ah... Guess who these are for?

Me! That's right,
my little friend.

Hello. We're going fishing.

I got a new rod
and reel, five lures,

a hat, a knife
and a fish scaler.

That's great, sweetie.

I'll get it.

Well, I'm not really sure
why you're here, Ron.

I know I haven't exactly been
the model citizen since I got here,

but considering how things
have been going for me lately,

I thought I was
doing pretty well.

And I also find it kind of
discouraging that you seem to think

that I'm in need of some sort of
spiritual guidance or what have you,

so much so, that you're
willing to disregard the fact

that I don't believe in
any of this stuff at all.

Well, I didn't mean
to discourage you.

Yeah, I find it
kind of insulting.

Can I...
Can I say something here?

Sammy asked me to come talk
to you because it's her opinion

that you're not gonna find
what you're looking for

the way you've
been looking for it.

And how would she know?

But I'm really not here to
try to get you to do anything

or to try to get you to
believe in anything.

And I'll tell you
the same thing I told her,

which is that as
far as I'm concerned,

the only way she can help you
is by her example,

by trying to be a model for you

in the way she lives her life.

And that doesn't mean that
she's supposed to be a saint either,

if that's what
you're smiling about.

I didn't realize I was smiling.

You know, Terry, a lot
of people come to see me

with all kinds of problems.

Drugs, alcohol, marital
problems, sexual problems...

Good job you have, man.

Well, I like it.

Because even in this
little town, I really feel like

what I do is very connected with
the real center of people's lives.

I'm not saying
I'm always Mr. Effective,

but I don't feel like my life is off
to the side of what's important.

I don't feel that my
happiness and comfort

are based on closing my
eyes to trouble within myself

or trouble in other people.

I don't feel like
a negligible little scrap

floating around
in some kind of empty void

with no sense of connectedness
to anything around me

except by virtue of whatever
little philosophies

I can scrape together on my own.

Well...

Can I ask you, Terry, do you
think your life is important?

Um... You mean, like, me
personally, like, my individual life?

Yeah.

Mmm, I'm not really sure.
What do you mean?

I mean, it's important
to me, I guess,

and, like, to my, you know,
the people who care about me.

But do you think it's important?

Do you think it's important
in the scheme of things

not just because it's yours

or because you're
somebody's brother.

Because I really don't get
the impression that you do.

I don't particularly
think that anybody's life

has any particular importance

besides whatever, you know,
like, whatever we arbitrarily give it.

Which is fine. I mean,
you know, we might as well.

I mean, I think my life is as
important as anybody else's.

I don't know, Ron.

A lot of what you're saying
has real appeal to me.

You know, the stuff they
told us when we were kids.

But I don't want to believe in
something or not believe in it

because I might feel bad.

I want to believe in
it or not believe in it

because I think
it's true or not.

Yeah, I mean, I want to
think that my life is important.

That it's connected
to something important.

Well, isn't there any
way for you to believe that

without calling it God

or religion or whatever term
it is that you object to?

Yeah, I believe that.

So, Sammy, what example
will you be setting for us tonight?

What time are we
getting up to go fishing?

We're not going fishing.

What do you mean?

Why not?

I think you should go
fishing with Father Ron.

I don't want to go
fishing with Father Ron.

Well, I'm not gonna take you.

I'll take you, sweetie.

I realize you're mad at me.

I'm not mad at you.

But he didn't do
anything to you.

And you cannot promise
a little boy...

It's just after all
that religious conversation,

I just realized it's probably
not so good for him

to be spending
so much time with someone

who doesn't believe that his life is
important in the scheme of things.

Would you please? I'm serious.

Listen.

I am sure if you
put your mind to it,

you can think of some other way

of getting back
at me besides this.

So would you please
just give it some thought

and take him fishing tomorrow?

I would, Sammy, but I really
don't think it's good for him.

You suck!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hi. Hi.

You remember my
wife Nancy. Oh, yes.

Hello. Nice to see you.

Father, nice job. Thank you.

Anyway, I don't know what
the church's official position is

on fornication and
adultery these days.

I felt really hypocritical not saying
anything to you about it before.

So what is the official
position these days?

Well, it's a sin.

Good. I think it should be.

But we try not to focus

on that aspect of it too
much right off the bat.

Why not? I think you
should. Well... Well...

I mean, maybe it was better
when you came in here

and they screamed at you for
having sex with your married boss.

They told you what
a terrible thing it was.

They were really mean to you.

Maybe it would be better

if you told me that I was
endangering my immortal soul,

and that if... If I don't
quit, I'm gonna burn in hell.

Don't you ever think that?

Um...

No.

Well, it would be a
lot better than all this,

"Why do you think
you're in this situation"

psychological bullshit
you hear all the time.

Well, why do you think
you're in this situation?

With which one?

All of them.

I feel sorry for them.

Isn't that ridiculous?

I've never been so bored
in my whole life.

We should've been here
around 7:00, 8:00 a. m.

What time is it now?

2:30.

Was my father a good fisherman?

Yeah, he was good at
all that stuff, you know?

He knew everything about the
woods, everything about hunting,

everything about fishing
and everything about cars.

If he wasn't such
a pain in the ass,

he would've been a lot
of fun to be around.

Maybe he's nicer now.

I doubt it.

Well, I think he is.

Well, how would you know?
Did you ever meet him?

No.

You ever been curious
about meeting him?

I guess so.

He lives near here.

I thought he lived in Alaska.

No, I lived in Alaska. He lives
in Auburn, as far as I know.

We could look him up
in the phone book.

Wanna try it?

All right.

But, Rudy, I'm sure I
don't have to tell you this,

but I'm not kidding, man.
Don't tell your mother.

Can I get you something?

Or, hey, do you want
to go for a walk or a drive?

It's really nice out.

No, I'm not gonna stay long.

Bob, I don't want
to get married.

Okay.

I've been thinking about it
for a long time,

and if you had
asked me last year,

I'm sure I would have said yes.

Thank you.

But I don't think it would've
been a good idea then either.

I've been going through a
really hard time lately, and I just...

I think that getting
engaged to you

or anybody else
would be probably

the stupidest, most self-destructive
thing I could possibly do.

Okay.

And I really think
you need to grow up.

Well, how's about we fix my
personality some other time?

Okay.

I really hope
we can still be friends.

Oh. Yes. Me, too.

Bob...

I mean, Bob. What?

I don't know. I don't
know. I just... I...

Sammy, I love you. I...

I really...

I love you.

Well, I love you, too.

Oh, shit! What? What?

I... I gotta go. I'm sorry.

Where? Where do you have to go?

I have to get Mabel her car.

Now? I don't understand.

How are we leaving things?

I don't know. Call me later.

This is incredible.

That is not what I mean.

♪ I was born on this land

♪ This land is my home

♪ And she holds me and
keeps me from worrying

♪ Well, it took
everything she gave

♪ Now they're gone... ♪

Maybe we should call first.

Well, we're right here.

Come on.

There he is.

His last name is Kolinsky?

Yeah. Come on.

Go ahead, knock.

Out of the yard, and the Mets
add another run to their lead.

It's now 7-2, Mets.

Yes?

Hi. Uh, we're looking for Rudy.

Who should I say is calling?

An old friend.

Who is it?

He says an old friend.

How old is he?

Hey!

Hey, Rudy.

Hey.

Hi, I'm Terry.

Hello.

Um, this is Rudy.

You don't say.

Rudy, meet Rudy.

I'll just be in the kitchen.

Nice meeting you.

Okay if we come in for a minute?

What the hell are you doing?

What do you mean
what am I doing?

Could you back away
from the door, please?

Just want to come in for...

Would you back away
from the door, please?

All right, all right.

What are you doing here?

Just wanted the kid
to see you, man.

Well, now he saw me.

- Now you saw me, all right?
- Now, do you mind?

Man, you really...

I'm trying to be
polite, all right?

So would you just take off?
It's okay. Just take off.

I just wanna... Do you
know what you're doing here?

Get out of here, all right?

You know what, man?
You're still a fucking asshole.

I'm an asshole? Get out of here.

Fucking asshole!

Get your fucking hands off him!

Get off!

- Fucking woman!
- Get the fuck...

Hey, break it up!

Listen, Officer,
I came down here...

I just came down
here to talk to the guy,

and he starts shoving me.

You're not the boy's
legal guardian?

I don't even know
if that's my kid.

Fucking lying piece of shit.
He showed up out of nowhere,

next thing I know
they're outside fighting.

I used to know his sister.

He's on our property.

I don't know who this guy
is. Why don't you shut up?

Man, you know
you came here for it.

You have nothing to
do with this, lady.

We have a right to
protect ourselves.

I just came here
to talk to the guy,

and he starts shoving me.

Listen to them. You can
hear, they're out of their minds.

- Out of our minds?
- You showed up at our...

Look at how aggressive he is.

He started the whole thing,
and now I'm being arrested.

Listen up, stop talking.

And what's he... What's gonna
happen with him? Guy's a total...

Terry, stop talking.
All right, man.

Any idea where we might
be able to contact his mother?

No, because he's
not my goddamn kid.

- Oh, my gosh.
- What's the matter?

Oh, my gosh. What time is it?

Oh, my God!
Oh, my God, it's 9:30.

Hey. Uh, you know, Nancy's gonna
be gone for the rest of the week.

Well, Brian.

Yeah?

I mean, I don't mean to
be... Couldn't we just...

I mean, could we give it a rest?

Yeah, sure, if you want to.

I mean, I just
think... I don't know.

We've had a great
little fling, you know.

So why push it?

Is that okay? I just...

Yeah, sure.
Okay. No, you're right.

So we're still friends?

Mmm-hmm. Sure.

All right.

Around 2:00 this afternoon.

Yes. A '97 red Subaru Outback.

New York plates. AUZ 416.

Please.

Thanks for coming over.
I just...

I want to have a car
handy, just in case.

No problem.

Yes! What...
What about other towns?

Yes.

Yes.

Look. I've called the
Highway Patrol four times.

Well, what am I
supposed to do all night?

Hello?

Anyone hear from
Sammy this morning?

I didn't. Uh-huh. Well,

if anybody ever hears from her
ever again, would you let me know?

Yes.

Thanks so much.
I'll give you a call.

All right. We'll see you.

It's gonna be all right.

We got on the phone
with Rudy Sr. a little bit,

he's calmed down.

He wants to forget
the whole thing.

Darryl, I really
appreciate this.

Hello?

Yeah, it's Brian. Brian.

What the hell happened
to you today, lady?

Hello. You're fired!

Good!

Rudy? Yeah?

Is there anything
you want to ask me

about your father?

Oh, that wasn't my father.

What?

That wasn't him. I
heard him tell the cops.

No, Rudy, that was him.

I wish it wasn't, but it was.

No, it wasn't.

Yes, Rudy. It was.

Your father's name
is Rudy Kolinsky.

He lives in Auburn.

Yeah, I'm on my way.

Would you turn that off, please?

You don't have to
say anything, Sammy.

I want you to leave.

What do you mean?

I mean, I don't think
you should live here.

I don't think you know how to
behave around an eight-year-old,

and I don't know
how to make you stop,

so I don't think
you should live here.

I don't know what else to say.

I don't know how to behave
around an eight-year-old?

That's right. I think you
don't know how to behave

around an eight-year-old.

Are you out of your mind?

Now, just listen to me.

No, I may not be the
greatest mother in the world,

but I'm doing the best
I know how,

and he doesn't need you
to rub his face in shit

because you think
it's good for him.

He's gonna find out

the world is a horrible place

and that people
suck soon enough,

and without any help from you.

Believe me.

I think you should
get your own place.

I thought maybe you could...

I'd be happy to
help you out financially.

What do you mean, get
my own place? I mean, I...

You mean, here
in Scottsville? Yes.

Why would I do that? I mean,
why don't I just leave, period?

Well...

If that's what you
want to do, that's fine.

But that's not what I'm saying.

You're a very important
person to Rudy.

And you are the most
important person to me.

But I'm saying

I can't take any more of this.

Well...

And I thought you could sell
your half of the house to me,

and then I could pay you
back a certain amount,

whatever it is, over a
certain period of time.

No, you know what? I'll just go.

Well... That's not
what I'm saying.

Where are you gonna go?

I don't know. I just want
to get out of this town.

And if you have any sense,
when you get old enough,

you'll get out of here, too.

You know, your mom
is gonna stay in this town

for the rest of her life.

And you wanna know why?
Because she thinks she has to.

She thinks there's all these
things that she has to do.

But I'll tell you one
thing about your mom.

She's a bigger fuck-up
than I ever was.

I mean, I know
I messed up, okay?

You think I enjoy
getting thrown in jail

because I wanted you
to face that prick,

your dad, like a little man

and show you what
kind of guy he is?

All right, I got a little
carried away. I know it.

And I lost my temper
just a little bit,

which is not the end of
the world by the way, either.

Just for future reference.

Where's the rest of my shit?

And now she's gonna throw me
out of my own house because...

You know, because
I fucked up a little bit.

Which I...
Which I totally admit.

I was, like, totally
ready to admit that.

I could go with you.

Thanks, man, but I, uh...

I can't really take care of you.

Is that for you?

Yeah, I'm just gonna stay
at Ray's till I leave.

Well, you don't have to do that.

Yeah, I know, but that's
what I wanna do, so...

Well, are you gonna come
back and say goodbye?

No, I'm just gonna
take off. See you.

Well...

Look, I know you're upset

about Uncle Terry
leaving, and so am I.

But he is not in
control of himself,

and I don't want him hurting
your feelings anymore, or mine.

Now, you might not like it,

but that's the way
it's gonna be, okay?

I don't care.

You don't care?
I don't care either.

Well, I'm sorry you're
having all this trouble.

Thank you.

But you made a pretty good
speech to me the other day

about people sticking
to their commitments.

Yeah? Well, you made
a commitment, Sammy,

to this bank,

to this job.

I know I did.

And to working
things out with this

tough, new son-of-a-bitch
boss of yours.

Now, whatever may have
passed between us after hours

doesn't mean you can just
walk away from that commitment.

Yeah, yeah, even if you have
a legitimate family emergency.

I'm really sorry
I didn't call in.

That's why I think,

in the calm, cold light of day,

that you and I both
have to think real hard

about whether you
really want to continue on

here at Outpost Bankers Trust.

You've got to be kidding.

You're not happy.

I'm not happy.
It's no good for you.

And it's sure as heck
no good for the bank.

You know, you're the worst
manager we've ever had.

Oh, come on, Sammy. I
mean, by far, the worst.

I don't want to
trade insults with you.

Well, I don't want
to be fired, Brian.

I've been working here
for seven years. Well...

You know, and if I were you,

I'd be a little nervous
about firing an employee

I just had an affair with, okay?

What? Hey, don't...
Don't threaten me, Sammy.

I'm not threatening you.

I'm not threatening you.

I just... I think it's an area
that we ought to explore.

You explore it.
I'm going back to work.

Oh, and I have to
pick up Rudy today

because there's no
one else who can do it.

I'll find someone else
when I have time.

Oh, yeah. Fine. Why don't you
just take over the whole bank?

Well,

I called Uncle Terry where
he said he'd be staying,

but there was no answer.

So,

I don't know if he's
still in town or not.

Rudy, are you not
speaking to me?

I'm really sorry that
you're so mad at me,

but I only did what I
thought I had to do.

And I just hope you don't stay
mad at me for the rest of your life.

Rudy, that's enough. Rudy!

Now, you gotta cut this out!

What did I do?

You don't know what
you're talking about.

There was nothing else
I could do.

I don't know how to explain
it to you any better than that.

But you cannot go on this way

because you don't
know anything about it.

You don't know what
you're doing. Okay, I'm sorry.

I don't want you to be
sorry! I want you to stop it!

I'm stopping.

See, I'm stopping.

I'm stopping.

Ray's house.

Hi.

I didn't know if you'd left yet.

No, I'm not
leaving till tomorrow.

Well, what time?

Um... Bus leaves at 9:00.

Well...

I'd... I'd really like
to see you before you go.

Can... Can I give you a lift?

Do you want to have
breakfast or anything?

I think Rudy would
really like to say goodbye.

Yeah. I don't know. I mean...

Terry, you can't
just leave like this.

All right, all right. Um, I'll
come by tomorrow morning.

All right. Uh, just...

We have to be out
of the house by 8:00,

so I don't want to
tell Rudy you're coming

unless you think
you can make it.

No, I mean, I'll be there.

All right.

All right.

You better get your sneakers on.

Sweetie, I'm sorry,
but we have to go.

Why can't I miss school one day?

Hi.

Hey, how's it going, man?

Sorry I'm late.

So, Rudy, if I write you a
letter, will you write me back?

Yeah.

Oh, that's gonna be
pretty nice for you

'cause I write a pretty
goddamn interesting letter.

Yeah, we'll see.

Well, all right.

Say goodbye.

Bye.

Do you need some
cash for the bus?

No, I got a few bucks.

Aren't you gonna
be late for work?

Oh, yeah. It's okay.

Terry, I don't even
know where you're going.

Well...

Yeah, I don't really
have a concrete plan yet.

Um, I gotta go back to
Worcester and get my stuff.

Oh, you gonna try
and see that girl?

Yeah, you know.

I thought maybe I'd
try and show my face,

let her brother
have a crack at me.

What? No.

I don't want anybody to
have a crack at you.

I'm just kidding.

I just... I just thought
I'd check up on her.

And then after that,
I don't know.

I've been thinking about
Alaska a lot, you know?

I still got a lot
of friends out there.

I don't really know.

Anyway, I'll... I'll write you.

You will?

Sure, Sammy. Of course I will.

You know that.

What's gonna happen to you?

Nothing too bad.

But I gotta tell you, Sammy,

and I know things really didn't
work out too well this time...

Well, Terry...

But it's really good to know

wherever I am and
whatever stupid shit I'm doing,

that you're back at my
home rooting for me.

It's all gonna be
all right, Sammy.

Comparatively.

And I'll be back
around this way again.

I just... I feel like I'm
never gonna see you again.

No. Of course you will.

You never have to
worry about that. Ever.

Just don't go anywhere until
you know where you're going.

I do. I do know where
I'm going. Please!

I do. I'm going
back to Worcester.

And I'm gonna try
and see that girl.

And then depending on
what happens there,

I'm gonna try and see if there's
some work for me out west.

And if there is, I'm gonna
go out there this summer

and I'm gonna make some money.

And if there isn't, I'll
figure something else out.

Maybe I'll stay in
the east. I don't know.

I really liked Alaska.

It was really
beautiful, and it just...

It made me feel good.

And before things
got so messed up,

I was doing
pretty well out there.

Seriously.

But I couldn't stay here, Sammy.

I don't want to live here.

But I'll keep in touch
and I will be back,

because I want to see you
and I want to see Rudy.

We'll have Christmas together.

How's that, huh?
We'll have Christmas...

Come on, Sammy.

You can trust me.

Come on, Sammy.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Hey, Sammy.

Remember when we were kids?

Do you remember what we
always used to say to each other?

Of course I do.

Remember when we were kids?
