I just heard about him. - Oh. - He was a real brave guy. - Yeah. - He was kind of a, kind of a legend, to be honest with you. Yeah. Yeah. And Scott was only seven when it happened, so... - Oh, that's tough. - A lot of consequences. - Yeah, that's a tough situation, but... - Yeah. But I-I got to tell you, you did a great job, you know? See, I mean, I... I know we had a little bit of a difference there, - but, I mean, he's a good kid. - Uh-huh. And I got to tell you, if-if the worst he's doing is-is, you know, a couple unlawful tattoos, - you-you did a hell of a job. - Yeah. Yeah, I don't think that's the worst he's doing, though. Oh. - Yeah. - Well, I don't know. You know, uh, that's how kids are, you know?

Hey, uh, I hope this isn't too forward, but do you mind if-if I ask what happened to your husband? Oh, it was a hotel fire. The roof collapsed. He went in to save somebody. They told him it wasn't safe, but, you know, he was like that.

No. It's just you're 24 years old now. 24. I mean, Phelps had a fistful of gold medals by 24. Why are you talking? I'm just giving you some perspective, that's all. You know, Wayne Gretzky had, like, 96 goals when he was 24. W-What? Roger Staubach graduated West Point, won a Heisman Trophy, fought in the Vietnam War, and then joined the Cowboys by the time he was 24. I don't know who that is, so, s-so who-who gives a fuck? I think that maybe you're-you're ready and you just don't even know it. So, you're kicking me out? No, no. I just want you to get your own apartment by summer. Right, so you're kicking me out of the house. That's nine months from now. I mean, you-you could have a baby in nine months. It's a long time. Are you moving in? Are you trying to push me out? What, like, what did I do? I-I thought we were cool. Scott, Scott, let's all be adults here. Come on. Your mother has worked very hard for a very long time. And I'm gonna retire in a couple years, so things are gonna change around here, but in a good way. I mean, w-we think you... that you can do great things. Yeah, I know I'm gonna do great things. But, like, I don't need you to tell me that, like... This is... What's going on? This is... I-I... I don't like this. So, be that as it may, until you leave... which is gonna be good for you and it's gonna be motivating... you're gonna have to pull your weight a little more around here. And one thing that we thought would help you contribute... would be easy, wouldn't be hard to do... is to help Ray bring his kids back and forth to school when he can't do it because of work. Like now. Like today.

- No. - What are you laughing about? 'Cause it's a stupid question, Ray. - What do you mean, stupid? - It's fucking stupid. Would you ask the kids of that teacher who blew up in space if they want to be an astronaut? Whoa, I don't think that lady had any kids, though. Yeah, I'm sure she didn't 'cause she died in space. It's hard to have kids when you're dead in space. Look, I-I could tell you how I feel about firemen, but I-I don't think you guys want to hear my opinion. - No, no, no, please tell us. - No, no. No, no, no. - No. I want to hear it. - You don't got to do this, man. - Come on. - All right, no. - Yeah. Okay, how about this? - Come on, you don't... Uh, if you're a fireman, just don't have kids or a family at all, okay? So that way, you don't fucking crush them when you don't come home that one time, you know? And-and you're just so selfish. You just hang out with your boys all day like it's a fucking frat house. Half the time, you're not even putting out fires. You're just jerking off, watching Scarface, okay? - All right, take it easy, man. - No, I'm just saying. And it's wrong to tell a kid that you're gonna be there for him for his whole entire life. Yeah, but you miss graduation, your birthdays, okay? Uh, my d... my prom dances. That's a very mean thing to do to children. And, uh, if you have a family, - y-you're an asshole. - No, listen, no. Take it easy, take it easy. - Well, that's one way to look at it. - Yeah. Tell that to my dad.

You are so awesome. And I think I've been there for you too much. 'Cause sometimes in life, the thing that's motivating is when people don't have that safety net. Right, right, but I need that safety net 'cause I don't have my shit together. So, like, uh, w-why are you doing this? Is this 'cause of him?

Oh, God. Dude, dude, how many times we got to do this? What do you mean? I-I just want to... I just need... It's just for a couple weeks. It's not that big of a deal. A few weeks? You just said a few days. - Uh, or a couple months. It's... - Months? I'm figuring my stuff out. I don't know the future. Oh, my God, you... There you go. - What the... Hey. - I'm not going to let myself be upset by you, but I'm gonna tell you something. You make me feel so crazy. I'm not gonna let myself be crazy now, but you make me feel crazy! You are so crazy that you make everyone around you feel fucking crazy. The people meet you, and they're normal people, and then they hang out with you, and then they're fucking Jack Nicholson in The Shining or something. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got to stay Zen. I got to meditate. I'm meditating right now, and you got to go. - What? What? - Yeah, here's your shit. Okay. Staying calm. You got to leave. It's time to go. Well... Get out. Well, I don't have anywhere to go. It's not my problem anymore. Thank you for the sex. It was wonderful until you started talking. You got to go. Could I sleep in your brother's room?

You have the sweetest, most adorable kids I've ever met in my life. Like, I can't believe they came out of Ray. I know. And you know what? You know what the thing is about Ray? I never say a bad word about him in front of the kids, which is very difficult because he's a cunt. Yeah, I-I can imagine. Well, I'm not one of your kids, so have at it. Let it all out. Tell me everything. Do you know he is fighting to actively not have custody of his kids? - You can do that? - Yeah. - That's insane. - I know. Who wouldn't want to hang with your kids? Who wouldn't want to hang out with those kids? What monster wouldn't want to hang out with those kids? Every second! Your daughter sang the other day. What did she sing? Something from, like, Oklahoma! or something, and-and I hate that shit, and I fucking loved it. She's such a little angel. - Mm. - I-I thought she was a robot for, like, the first couple days I was hanging out with her. I know. She's so perfect. What a fucking putz. Yeah, so he only wants to see them on Wednesday night for dinner and Sunday. - You can't just pick and choose. - And, uh... No, you can't. What are your kids, the NFL package? - Wait, you're only... Yeah. - Yeah. But why would you want your kids, really, if you don't have an apartment and you sleep at the firehouse? I mean, you... Unbelievable. What kind of a grown man can't afford his own apartment in Staten Island? Fucking loser. He lost all our money gambling. He is homeless, he's penniless, and he's a deadbeat dad. What is your mom doing with him? You know, my mom hasn't gotten laid in 17 years, so I think her bar is pretty low. Really? Yeah. He's good in bed, I hate to say it. All right. Well, I didn't really need to know that. Yeah. He's got a beautiful cock. I mean, it's the... it's his only attribute. That big thick cock kept me in it for eight years longer than I should have stayed. It's a fact. I knew I smelled you. - The fuck, Scott? - What? Huh? What, are you spying on me now? - You Magnum, P.I.? - What? Telling your mom that I'm homeless? You think it's funny to tell her that I'm a loser? What are you talking... No. What? What do you mean, what am I talking about? You've been speak... You talking to my ex-wife? Uh, yeah. She's actually a really nice person. - Oh, is she? Why don't you marry her? - Yeah. Why don't you marry her and see what the fuck happens? Hey, I'm just trying to protect my mom from you, okay? You're a fucking psychopath. - Oh, I'm a psychopath? - Yeah. I've been nothing but nice to you! I tried giving you direction. You're too busy smoking your fucking weed. And all you've been doing is trying to destroy everything that I have with Margie. Because you're a fucking loser, dude! You're a, you're a degenerate gambler in your-your mid-50s, who bets on the Jets. Uh, who... Have you not learned anything about betting? - The Jets are gonna come back! - No, they're not! They got three number one fucking picks! They're never gonna come back! They're never gonna come back! I'm trying to give your mother a good life! I... No, you're not, okay? You're a piece of shit, dude. You're a fucking drug addict! I'm a piece of shit? Yeah, you're a piece of shit! I'm a fucking loser? You're the biggest loser I ever met in my fucking life! - Oh, really? You should know. - Yeah! Yeah! You surround yourself with them. - Oh, yeah? Why don't you try me? - Oh, really? Why don't you try me? Yeah, yeah, yeah... This ain't gonna go how you think it's gonna go. So why don't you get the fuck out of my... Really?
