Previously on rescue me...
Stack! I'm gonna get you out
of here. Stay with me, ok?
how you doing?
not so good. Look at him.
He's half a man.
Mr. Reilly. You might want
to get a little alzheimer's
of your own.
excuse me?
Jeannie's happy here. Now you
have to be happy, too.
you telling me forget about
my wife?
survivor's guilt.
you're like the...
second person, like, recently
that's mentioned that to me.
how's it going with Natalie?
I don't know, man. I think
she might have another guy on
the hook. Guy she could be
living with.
this is my big brother, rich.
Rich, this is Franco.
how's it going?
if you want to run, do it
now and get it over with.
no, sweetheart, not me.
I'm sticking.
this is a transfer. What is
this, a joke? You work day in
and day out with a guy, you
think you know him.
there's some other things
about Mike you don't know.
oh, yeah, like what?
he's playing for the other
team, dude.
Mike's gay.
yeah, tell me something I
don't know.
Oh, you mean gay gay.
I got this cousin down in
Florida. He's got this fishing
boat. Charter boat. Makes a
whole boat load of money. Got
a first mate, the guy got
married, he's not coming back.
He asked me if I was interested,
I said no. Now I'm thinking yes.
I think the crew might be
breaking up.
what?
yeah.
that's why I'm here,
Mr. Gavin, to ask you, most
sincerely, for your daughter
Maggie's hand in marriage.
are you retarded?
let me help you.
I can do that. I can make a
better life for the both of us.
I have all that widow money just
sitting in the bank. All I have
to do is call the bank, and the
next day, I would have a check
for $3.1 million.
I didn't want you finding
out from somebody else.
Janet's pregnant.
congratulations.
[Captioning made possible by

Stack?
Listen to me.
Think about the cabin.
Up at the cabin with deb and
the kids.
what?
hey.
hey. How's he doing?
how are you?
how is he?
he's good. He's good.
here, I brought you some
coffee.
here, let me give you a hand.
thank you.
how are the kids doing?
I don't want them to see
him like this. You know, the
older ones, they're gonna get
upset. The younger ones, I don't
know the mental damage it's
gonna do. You know I'm right,
right?
yes.
the yankees, they beat boston
last night, and the boys, they
were all excited. Like I could
really give a shit. It reminded
me of him, you know.
yeah.
how much he hates the
red sox. When they came back and
won that four and then won the
world series, remember?
yeah.
such a softie. He rooted for
the red sox in that world series
because he felt bad for
the fans. You know, for all the
years they lost.
right.
oh... that's what I love
about him.
He had this, um, this survival
thing. This, uh... this guilt.
You heard of it?
a couple guys in...
the firehouse were talking
about it, yeah.
yeah? Oh, that's better.
Go. You look exhausted.
you sure?
yeah. Really. My sister's
coming. His mom and dad. I'm
gonna be fine. Really, go.
'cause I can stay until they
get...
it's fine. Thank you.
Honestly, you have been amazing.
You've been a rock.
Through all this. Thank you.
Really, thank you for taking,
taking time off from your kids
and your family. Thank you.
just doing what he would've
done for me.
you are amazing. Thank you.
And please tell Janet I said
I really appreciate her letting
you do this for us.
ok.
see you.
bye.
hello?
hey. I, uh...
I gotta see you.
For what? You already
know the news.
I want to see you face to
face, ok? You owe me that,
at least don't you think?
it's not gonna change
anything.
ok, I need to...
To what?
I want to set up some rules.
Figure out how we're gonna
explain everything to...
everybody. Including him, ok?
I mean, this family's screwed
up, and it's about to get more
screwed up. I think you and I
should have, you know, our
stories straight, don't you
think?
ok. When?
how about tomorrow. Like 6?
He gets home at 6:30.
Do not be late.
* on another day,
come on, come on,
with these ropes I tied,
can we do no wrong?
Now we grieve
'cause now is gone,
things were good
when we were young,
with my teeth locked down
I can see the blood
of a thousand men
who have come and gone,
now we grieve
'cause now is gone,
things were good
when we were young,
is it safe to say?
Come on, come on,
was it right to leave?
Come on, come on,
will I ever learn?
Come on, come on,
come on, come on,
come on, come on *
what are you doing?
well, I know this is your
regular schedule nowadays, and
I didn't want to go up and see
Stack or deb. I just wouldn't
know what to say to either one
of them, so...
yeah. Brutal up there.
I know.
what's this?
oh, well, so Damian has been
after me to get him a car
'cause, you know, he wants a
ride, he wants his freedom,
and so, I came up with this.
You need some cheering up, and
I'll be damned if I'm gonna let
him bash around town in a
brand-new vehicle, so I will
trade you this for that piece
of shit, and he can do whatever
the hell he wants to with it.
this is mine.
it's a cadillac. Take it.
Take it, take it, take it,
take it.
I smell a rat.
no, no, no. No rat. No.
yeah. This has nothing
whatsoever to do with what we
talked about before?
you can take the truck.
And believe me, if you decide
that you don't want to run away
with me and retire and go get
a house by the beach and all
that junk, then it's ok. It's
really ok. You can keep
the truck. Yay!
well... it's nice.
it's fully loaded.
yeah.
It's a cadillac.
it's a pick-up truck.
and you know, you giving him
something like this, that's
sending completely the wrong
message.
right. Not to mention totally
dangerous. It's got a v-10
in it.
that's a... deathtrap.
For a teenager.
I know.
oh, yeah.
let me see a minute.
it's big, huh?
yeah.
big shit.
it smells pretty, right?
it still has the paper stuff
on the floor.
I know.
let's see what it
sounds like.
no, wait, wait, wait. Don't
you want to go, like, have
breaky or something?
I can't, sweetheart. I'm
late for work as it is.
all right, ok.
all right.
ok. See you.
see you.
he's retarded?
kind of.
well, like, rainman retarded,
or, you know, Paris hilton
retarded?
he's functional, all right,
like Paris. He can go to the
bathroom on his own, which I'm
assuming Paris can do.
He's pretty good with numbers.
I mean, I'm not saying the guy
can count toothpicks off the
floor or anything. But, uh,
you know, then he eats things.
well, hey, hey, hey, now.
There's nothing retarded
about that.
no, I'm not talking about
food things, Lou, I'm talking
about actual things. All right,
shit that's laying around
the room. Checkers, paper clips.
Erasers, pen caps. Guy's lower
intestine must have a steel
lining.
well, you know how they talk
about retards having, what is
it called, retard strength?
what are you looking at me
for?
you know, maybe that's what
Richie the retard has. I mean,
he's got all of his powers
concentrated in his digestive
tract.
yeah, man, the thing is, I
really want to make a good
impression with nat. I was
thinking maybe I'd take the guy
to a ballgame or something.
oh, yeah, hey. That's a nice
gesture. Give you a chance to
bond, you know. That would be
a good idea.
should work out real nice.
Assuming, you know, he doesn't
eat the tickets before you
reach the gate.
not today, asshole.
it's incredible.
what is it, an escalade?
it's an escalade pick-up.
Cadillac goes white trash.
What?
Nothing. How'd you get it?
I decided to treat myself.
Listen, it came with everything.
It came with a v-10, which is
unheard of. They only made like
2,000 of those this year. It
came with bucket seats, it came
with AC.
did it come with a chauffeur?
hey, hey, wait a minute,
goddammit! That's my truck!
Hey! Shit!
well, it looks awfully nice
from the back.
ok, yeah. Great. Thank you.
Cops are on the case.
What's the city coming to?
I mean, 12 minutes, I owned
that vehicle.
need I remind you how far
uptown our house is located.
yeah.
nice to know you haven't lost
touch with your inner racist,
Lou.
Franco, I'm just stating
a geographical fact.
I gave my other piece of
shit to Damian. So it's gonna
be at least 3 days before the
cops find the escalade, or
what's left of it.
you're worried about getting
to work, you can always take
the bus.
yeah, or the subway.
yeah, yeah. I'm gonna take
the subway. I live in Brooklyn,
ok, I can't be stuck on the
train for 45 minutes in between
dom deluise and ruben studdard.
I'll take a hostage.
wait, ruben studdard, that's
the gay guy, right?
no, no, no. Ruben studdard
was the fat guy. Clay aiken's
the fag.
clay aiken ain't a fag.
He's just not talented. I should
know, I voted for the guy.
guys.
Mike, they didn't mean
anything by it.
sorry, Mike. I forgot you
were gay.
you know, I just got finished
being ragged on for being the
probie, now I got to deal with
this shit.
It sucks.
did he just wink at me?
daddy knows what his dirty
little girl likes. Right, baby,
right?
yeah. Yeah, honey.
Yeah, your dirty, little girl.
God, those drapes are awful.
hey, hey, hey. Get your
game face on. We only got
20 minutes.
this room is so drab.
I wonder if they'd let me
spruce this up a little bit,
you know?
hey, hello. Hey.
flowers, I don't know,
burn some sage.
Jesus Christ.
I think it would help
the mood.
sweetheart, check the
hardware. The mood's never
been better.
I mean, look at this place.
I'm serious. This is depressing,
theodore.
I guess you're right.
goddammit, probie. How about
knocking.
here's my transfer form,
Chief. I want out.
from what I hear, you're
already out.
thanks for the insurance
policy, now put my transfer
through, or I dial up my
union rep and tell him what
you just said.
hey, nat. Are you doing ok?
I am now. You?
I miss you.
you're sweet.
listen, uh, nat, I was
thinking, if you need to get a
little work done tomorrow, I
could maybe take Richard out.
Watch him for a little bit.
really?
yeah, yeah. I could take a
sick day. Friend of mine's got
box seats at yankee stadium.
oh, that's so nice, but, um,
Richard's kind of banned from
yankee stadium.
really?
yeah, he's apparently the
only one in new York to ever
toss racial slurs at
derek jeter.
well, what about a, I don't
know, a tour of the firehouse?
Richard might like that.
oh, he would love that.
uh, so, I don't know. Maybe
I'll pick him up tomorrow
around lunchtime?
that sounds great. I'll
see you then.
all right, sweetheart, bye.
Hey, uh, Chief. You wouldn't
have any problem with me
bringing a retard to the house
tomorrow, would you?
we got two here as it is.
I don't see how another one
would hurt.
thanks.
goddamn, it's 5:30.
yeah.
you're not going near
Queens, are you?
nah, I gotta go home. Study.
you're still... gonna take
the exam?
oh, yeah.
I thought that was all about
Keela, and now that she's gone,
you'd, you know.
thanks for the reminder,
captain obvious.
you know what I'm saying.
Is it, what is it, because of
the money, you want the money?
maybe I got my own reasons,
Tommy.
like what? That's what
I'm asking.
like this conversation
for starters.
frankie, that's not what...
Yeah, yeah.
give you a lift?
not on that goddamn
deathtrap.
well, suit yourself.
hey, let me ask you
something. You, uh...
you still thinking about that
thing with your cousin, the
boat thing?
yeah, yeah. I got a couple
weeks to let him know. Been
thinking about making a trip
out there maybe next week or
something like that. Check it
out. It's a pretty sweet deal.
look, you think I haven't
thought about things like that?
I have. Many, many, many times.
Ok, but then you think a little
bit further, and you realize,
you know, we may walk amongst
normal people. We can't be out
there with them full time.
You know, we gotta be in
firehouses. That's where we're
meant to be. And especially you
and me, our personal lives, man,
it's all the family we got left.
probie's transferring.
call Dr. Phil. Maybe he
can help.
jackson heights, please.
huh?
jackson heights.
hey, pal, can you, uh...
can you speed it up, please,
a little bit.
hey. You got...
you can go here.
Hello.
Holy shit!
hey, you pay fare!
move over. Move over.
what the hell?
goddammit, move over.
this guy up ahead, he stole
my truck, ok? I'll give you
50 bucks now, ok, and if I
catch him, I'll give you 75,
all right?
you son of a bitch!
goddammit.
Shit.
so, uh, what are you?
You a, uh, muslim?
yeah.
uh-huh.
So you believe in, in what,
like you die, and you go to
heaven, and you get, what
77 virgins?
72.
72. right.
I mean...
what's the point of that,
really, when you think about
it, I mean, virgins?
I mean, you think, when you
go to heaven, wouldn't you
rather have, you know, like,
whores.
you think there are whores
in heaven? There are no whores
in heaven.
you know, I would prefer,
if I went to heaven, that I
would get 77...
72.
ok, 72 whores. Chicks who
know something. Chicks who know
how to blow you. Chicks who
know tricks.
let me ask you a question.
what?
what are you, religion-wise?
I'm nothing. I'm a lapsed
catholic, but if l...
well, my friend, you are
going to hell, ok?
I'd rather go to hell with
77...
72!
2,000 whores! 2, 3,000
whores. And babe Ruth, and John
lennon, and elvis presley.
Take me to hell. Jesus.
Move!
hey, uh, you wouldn't mind
waiting like an extra 5, 10
minutes?
yeah, good luck with your
virgins, asshole!
I'm not even gonna ask.
Ok, let's get inside. He'll be
here any minute.
so?
I don't even know where to
start.
ok, I do.
I had an abortion the last time
that you knocked me up, and I
don't regret it. At the time,
we were both in the wrong place,
but now, I want this.
Whether it's his or yours.
I want this child to replace
what we lost.
we?
I was being kind.
To replace what I lost.
'Cause I'm doing this for me.
And for the girls. I think
it'll help them heal.
Especially if it's a boy.
Actually, a boy would solve
a lot of problems for this
family, don't you think?
It's not like you have a shot.
I mean, where are you gonna find
a co-conspirator, huh?
You tell me. Who?
Angie? Who?
Look, you can freeze all the
sperm you want. You can jerk off
into the goddamn freezer for
the next 9 months and still not
have the extra added ingredient.
A woman who wants to have
your baby.
Why didn't you listen to me?
when?
6 years ago. When I asked you
to spend more time with
the kids. To spend more time
at home, to spend more time
with me.
ok, wait, wait, wait.
all you had to do was
listen to me. All that was
required was for you to hear
the words.
I heard the words, ok?
I quit drinking, I quit my
third job. I was home every
Saturday.
you were always playing
softball every Saturday during
the summer and all winter, you
played hockey. All spring, all
fall...
that's not true.
and the only reason that you
quit drinking was because Lou
told you that the Chief said
something to him.
that wasn't the only reason.
not because of me, not the
kids, goddamn you, Tommy.
All you had to do was listen
and none of this would've
happened. None of it!
goddamn it, stop!
You're gonna tell me that
simply because I didn't listen
well enough, that you then
ruined my life so far beyond
what I could ever imagine.
That that's why, because I
didn't listen hard enough.
That's why you're sucking my
brother's cock.
Goddammit.
goddammit, Tommy. I was so
lonely, and I was scared
shitless. I had just buried
my only son.
so did I.
what did you need, Tommy?
goddammit. Ahh...
I needed you. The old you.
I needed someone to hold me in
my bed at night when I cry.
I needed someone to help me.
After I was done helping the
girls dry their goddamn tears.
But the old you, he's gone.
He's buried. With all of your
lost brothers. And you know
what? You can tell all your
lost brothers to go to hell.
Because we're here, and they're
not.
let her go, asshole.
stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
you all right?
yes.
you ever lay a hand on her
again, I swear to Christ on our
mother's grave, I will kill you.
As I live and as I breathe,
Tommy. I will kill you.
wasn't what you thought.
get out of here, Tommy.
Goddammit, get out of here now.
you ok? Huh?
I'm sorry.
I, uh, need to borrow some
money for a... cab.
15, 20 bucks.
you got anything, I'm a
little short.
a lot of your guys took their
last ride across that bridge
that morning.
You gotta get out, brother.
what do you mean?
you know what I mean.
Tommy, the moment you start
having doubts about whether to
stay in or not, or whether the
new cocky-assed sons of bitches
behind you are incapable of
watching your back, Tommy,
that's the moment you're gonna
screw up. Kill yourself and
maybe even take some of them
with you.
right.
Damn right.
Just get out, Tommy. Just take
Sheila's deal.
I thought you were against
the idea of me and her...
being together. And, you know,
especially in this circumstance
where she's talking about, you
know, a final kind of thing.
She's talking about me and her
being together forever. You
understand that, right?
I do. Yeah. And I was
against it. Then. Tommy, this
is now. Man, it's 5 years later.
Things change. I've changed,
all right. I just want her
happy. That would make me happy.
who are you talking to?
never mind who I'm talking
to, who are you talking to,
huh?
not you.
huh? Just drive.
hey.
hey. You wouldn't believe
the difference in Jeannie from
yesterday.
I played her some reggae
music. She was very responsive.
yeah?
yeah. Bob marley and the
wailers.
wow. You know, we honeymooned
in negril. Spent every night in
the reggae clubs. Drinking rum
punches and dancing up a storm.
there's a great place in
my neighborhood. I'll take you
there if you like.
um, I'll let you know.
Yeah, yeah. Go back to
your goddamn sleeper cell.
Shut up.
whatever. I'll tell you, man,
if they want to find the next
group of suicide bombers in this
country, all you do is bust all
the cab drivers in new York
city.
yeah.
how you guys doing?
good.
is needles around?
needles?
Chief nelson.
oh, yes, sir. I'll get him
for you, sir.
sir. Hey, guys. How are you?
hey.
hey. You knew a bunch of
these guys, right?
yeah. I did. Davey Smith.
Ricky daniels. Murph was in
my class. Yeah. 12 years of
catholic prison. He was an usher
in jimmy Keith's wedding.
hey, I miss jimmy.
yeah.
that guy was a firefighter's
fire.
yeah, I know. I mean, the
guys you got now.
guys. Christ. The oldest one
in there now is 27. can you
believe this shit? When we were
coming up, you had to be, what,
55, 60 years old before they
made you Chief.
at least.
look at me. It's a different
job, Tommy.
yeah. It is.
different job.
speaking of which, uh...
I wanted to talk to you a sec.
about?
I wanted to give you a...
a heads up about, uh, my probie.
yeah, he called. He said
he applied. It's a done deal.
I just gotta sign some papers.
he's gay.
what, like...
like lotions, maybe a manicure
now and again gay or actually
blowing other guys gay?
blowing other guys gay.
perfect. All right, look, t,
this day and age, I can't
justify saying no to a guy based
on the fact he likes cock.
He goes to the union rep, the
next thing you know...
I got you. I got you.
he's also a coward.
I feel so guilty.
I know, gay-wise, I used to
work with harry over in
Brooklyn.
yeah.
before he came out of the
closet. That guy was the best
firefighter I ever saw.
that's what they say.
he's a Chief now.
I know.
the guys are afraid to make
gay jokes 'cause they're afraid
he'll beat his goddamn ass in.
and it's true.
but a coward? Not in this
house or any other house.
it's up to you.
all right. I'll spread the
word.
ok. Thanks, pal.
hey, is your house doing
something special for the fifth
anniversary?
I'm sure we are. We just
haven't figured it out yet,
you know.
all right. Let me know.
all right.
take care, brother.
how is harry anyways?
gorgeous.
what can I get you?
um...
sir?
it's, uh, Tom.
Um, what's your high-end
Irish whiskey?
middleton's. 25 bucks a shot.
give me 8 fingers of that.
8 fingers?
that's about 100 bucks worth
of whiskey there... Tom.
bring it on.
thanks.
for a glass that's gonna cost
about a c-note, you're certainly
drinking it pretty fast there,
pal.
yeah, you would, too, if
you only had about $2.75 in
your pocket. Approximately.
give me the glass.
ooh...
you better be
bullshitting me.
I ain't bullshitting, pal.
you lied, Tommy.
come on, pal, it's just
some booze.
I'm calling the cops.
get off me. I'm FDNY.
I'm FDNY. M
bullshit. Prove it, huh?
Prove it.
see that? Huh?
You like that, huh?
See that? Huh?
See that? I got that about 12
stories up. Raging inferno up
in harlem. In the apartment
looking around, lost my helmet,
I couldn't find it, but I found
somebody's grandmother. I had
to hand her out in a bucket to
save her, and punched my way
through a window.
She died about an hour later
at the hospital.
hey, uh...
see that one? Look at that,
huh? See? See that one? Huh?
That was the drunken asshole
in the bronx. He fell asleep
while he was smoking in bed.
He started the fire. Woke up,
he was trying to crawl out.
I got to bring him down, pried
my mask off with him coming down
the stairs, the stairs give way,
we go right through
half a story. Onto these
metal spikes. He lived.
4 kids and their mom died.
Yeah. Yeah, I knew 60 guys
who died on 9/11. and then what
the funny part is, I betcha,
all the people in this bar,
you could name 5 finalists from
American idol, before they
could name one, one name of the
343 men who gave their lives
from the FDNY on 9/11.
Huh? Anybody know a name?
One name? Huh? Anybody know
a name? Of a dead fireman, huh?
No, nobody. I didn't think so.
I don't have any money because
my wallet and my badge were in
my new truck which got stolen
this morning, and my wife's
pregnant. She's...
she's gonna have a baby, but we
don't know whose it is 'cause
she's having sex with me and my
brother. My uncle's in the joint
'cause last year he shot my,
uh, this drunk driver who killed
my only son, and I just saw
my son on a cross-town bus out
in front of this place about
3 minutes ago.
Thanks.
Sweetheart...
believe me, this is way, way
more bad boy than you're ever
gonna be able to handle. So do
yourself a favor...
what?
go blow a drummer.
I was over at needles
nelson's firehouse, he's nearby,
he's Chief now, and, you know,
they got that murph plaque.
I had never seen it before,
and I started thinking about
timmy higgins and paddy brown,
and all the guys, and...
you know, then I thought I saw
kyle on this bus.
you think this honors them?
You think this honors them,
paddy and jimmy and the other
341? What did I tell you about
the survivor guilt, huh? This
shit's not going away, pal.
It's not going away, shithead.
You want a drink? Here, you
want a drink? Drink it, drink
it, let's drink it. Come on.
You want it? Huh?
dude, don't do this, man.
you want to drink it, huh,
huh?
Every time you do this, ok,
every time you come here, it's
gonna start all over again, ok?
It's gonna start
all over again. It's a
vicious cycle, pal.
You follow?
yeah, I follow.
do you follow!?
I follow.
all right, good. Get yourself
in the goddamn car.
Put some goddamn coffee in you
and get you to a meeting so we
can start this shit all over
again.
Jesus Christ.
uh-uh-uh, give me
the lighter. I guarantee you,
this is gonna taste a whole
lot better.
You know, um... I'm really
digging your sister. A lot.
So it's really important to me
that we be pals, you know?
best friends forever.
If you let me go down the
fire pole.
oh, yeah, yeah.
and I talked to my buddy
over there, and he says someone
told him I was gay.
it wasn't me.
it had to be someone from
this house.
well, maybe it was your
boyfriend.
he's not my boyfriend.
sorry, sorry. Whatever.
I meant, you know, your suck
buddy.
frank, you tell someone from
74 truck that I was a fag?
uh, guys, this is Natalie's
brother. Richard. Say hi,
Richie.
Hi, Richie.
unbelievable.
Guys, come here for a second.
what?
I need you guys to be solid,
ok. Just look after him for a
second. I gotta go make a phone
call and make sure it's cool
with Natalie that he slides down
the fire pole.
he's not dangerous, is he?
don't be a dipshit, Sean.
No, he's not dangerous. Just,
you know, talk to him,
make nice. Make sure he doesn't
put anything in his mouth except
that sandwich.
all right.
I'll be back, rich.
hi.
So, Richie.
you gay?
no.
he said you had a boyfriend.
no. I-I had a roommate, and,
um, he used to...
blow you.
yeah.
A little. Sometimes.
but you're not gay.
no. I'm not.
wow.
And they call me a retard.
that's funny.
what the hell, Sean?
what, it was funny.
no, it wasn't. Now I know
it was you.
it wasn't me, what are you
talking about?
you think this is a big joke?
no. Come on, an actual
retarded person says that you're
gay, I mean, come on. This is
a really good peanut butter and
jelly sandwich. It's a double
decker, too.
hey, guys. Where's Richie?
he was here a second ago.
I don't care where he was
a second ago, mikey. Where is
he now?
Huh? You know what? You two are
unbelievable. Can't even look
after one of your own. Thanks
for nothing.
Richard!
Hey, Richie!
Where you hiding, man?
Richie rich.
Richie!
Shit.
time's a-wasting. We'll have
to multl-task.
I've got some candles, some
flowers, some music.
how'd you get all this
stuff in?
two bottles of French wine.
great. Let's knock
some boots.
you're gonna have to be
patient, theodore. Enjoy your
chicken. I'm gonna spruce this
place up a little bit.
hello.
This is he.
Oh, that's great.
Perfect.
I will. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
That's the cops. They found
the guy. Drunk, passed out
behind the wheel with the truck
parked up on riverside drive.
Jesus Christ. Nobody knows
how to drink and drive anymore.
ok, these are my three
favorite in terms of table
settings, but I'm kind of
partial to the cobalt gold
bands, you know, just 'cause it
sounds cool.
hey, when is this happening
anyway?
um, we haven't really
discussed that yet, so...
you know what, sooner the
better. One less thing to
worry about.
ok. So how about sooner?
ok, like when?
well, soon, really soon.
ok, where?
ok, well, how about, what if
we did it on the beach?
You know, it would be really
beautiful.
no.
ok, um... I got an idea.
Why don't we get scuba licenses,
and we'll get married
underwater. That would be
so cool.
see, but now you're being
a complete idiot, Sean.
you know what, instead of
shooting down all my ideas, why
don't you come up with some
ideas on your own, Maggie?
Where would you like to get
married?
I don't care. How about,
like, right here.
here is a bar.
yes. But it's my bar.
ok, but don't you want to
get married someplace special?
this is special to me.
See, this is all about you
and what you want, and what
you need. Do you ever consider
my needs?
yeah, you're right. You're
totally right. It's not about,
you know, family, or friends,
it's just about you and me,
right, so you want to get
married in a bar room or the
back of a taxi or a friggin'
rest stop, that's fine. Just
tell me where and I'll meet you,
ok?
God... I knew you'd come
around.
Here's to us.
to romance.
hey, um, nat. I, uh...
nigger!
he's here? Oh, thank God.
Jesus, I thought I lost him.
you did. The cops just
dropped him off, like 10
minutes ago. They found him
wandering the streets of harlem.
Not a good place to be
considering his outbursts.
I know, look, I'm sorry, but
he's ok, right?
yeah, he's fine.
I just, I left him alone for,
like, 2 minutes with a couple
of the guys, and he
slipped away.
Richard has special needs,
Franco. You can't ask to spend
time with him and then just
pawn him off on your buddies.
look, I know, all right.
I wasn't doing that. I just,
you know, I didn't want to
embarrass him by asking you
about the fire pole right in
front of him. Ok, we were doing
really good for awhile there.
that's not what he says.
what?
he says you guys were making
fun of him, that you called him
a retard.
nobody called him a retard.
That's ridiculous.
uh-huh.
I'm not saying that he's
a liar, all right? He's probably
just confused is all.
I think you should go.
holy shit. I forgot what
that music does to me. It's
like a drug.
Gary, whoo, two more
rums, please.
whoo.
listen, jer, you can't let
anyone at my job know
about this.
I got it.
I'm dead serious. First of
all, it's against the rules,
obviously. Second of all,
I'm an illegal.
I'm under the table over there.
Friend of mine set it up, and if
I get in any kind of trouble,
so does she. The ins,
we don't want them sniffing
around.
don't worry, sweetheart.
Come on. Let's get back on
the dance floor.
oh, what you got, man.
I got a lot, baby.
hey.
What's going on?
How's he doing?
they want to take his hands.
shit.
You're kidding me.
Oh, God, oh...
Stack.
Hey.
Listen, man...
you gotta let go, ok?
I know you're a bull, everybody
knows. You've always been
a bull.
Even when we were in probie
school together, man, you was...
me and my cousin jimmy thought
we were gonna be the hotshots
of that class.
Kicked our ass in every part of
that physical exam. You brought
that dummy down 7 flights
in a goddamn flash.
Son of a bitch.
You gotta think of deb.
The kids, you know?
Christ, she can't be wheeling
you around, man, and you don't
want that.
Spoon fed like a baby.
I'll take care of deb.
And the kids. All 5 of them.
6, whatever.
She'll meet somebody else. I'll
make sure the guy's not a
scumbag, you know what I mean?
You're not gonna win this fight.
Stack, you're not.
You gotta go.
Goddammit, you gotta go.
he's asystolic. Call code.
Go get a cart.
