No, seriously, you look great. - Really? - Yeah. I just don't, like... I mean, are you flirting with me or...? - Yeah. - Yeah? Yeah, a lot. This is, this is what it looks like. It is really subtle. I couldn't... I can't tell what's going on. This is how it looks. I'm very subtle. All right. - I'm rusty. You're subtle. - Okay. - Yeah, yeah. - Nice to meet you.

Everybody gets it at a different time. Anyways, what are you, uh... I-I'm just sitting here, doing all the talking here. What do you, what do you do? I'm a nurse. I'm a school nurse. I'm also an ER nurse. - You work in the ER? - Mm-hmm. Jesus Christ, Margie, we probably met each other. Could be. So, how you doing? I'm... very tired. Really? Well, you don't look tired.

- Wait, Stan Carlin was your husband? - Mm-hmm. - Paramount Hotel fire? - Yeah, yeah. Did you know him? - You, you... Or you heard... - No, no, no, I... Hung out with him or...? No, I j... 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?
