"It's a little messy." "Where's the dog?" "Uh, well," "I put him in a kennel, 'cause I thought, you know, I didn't want to give him" "Have him getting dog hair all over, uh, your, uh, place." "What happened?" "What are you talking about?" "What's going on here?" "That's dirty laundry." "Oh." "That--?" "What's that?" "Clean laundry." "Okay." "Yeah." "Here, let me have that." "There you go." "Thanks, pal." "This is pretty much all I need." "What are you doing?" "What?" "It wasn't garbage?" "That" " That's my coffee." "Well, it's garbage now." "[SIGHS] I don't know about this, Lou." "What are you talking about?" "It just seems a little cramped." "It's perfect." "Really?" "Yeah, look." "We're only gonna be here long enough to eat pizza, watch porn, and sleep." "Yeah." "What?" "You don't want to sleep?" "I just think when it comes to roommates, you can't have two Oscar Madisons." "You know what I mean?" "Somebody's gotta be Felix Unger." "Who says we need a Felix Unger?" "It's the laws of nature." "You can't have two Walter Matthaus and no Jack Lemmon." "Otherwise, this place is gonna be overrun by rodents and cockroaches within a month." "And then what?" "We move." "That's the beauty of renting." "[SIGHS]" "What's that?" "That's a present from Frenchy." "9/11 footage?" "What is it?" "She wanted me to look at it, knowing I'm a writer." "She wanted me to jot down my thoughts and feelings for the book." "Right." "Did you watch it?" "I tried." "I got about three seconds in." "I started to unravel." "Believe me, not something you really want to be looking at." "No." "Especially by yourself." "No, no." "So you didn't get anything written, huh?" "Actually I'm on page 36." "Really?" "You got 36 pages of writing out of three seconds of footage?" "Come on, Tom, this may be my one and only chance ever to get A: published," "B:" "laid by a beautiful French woman." "Enough with the finger." "Okay." "Let me get this straight." "So you're taking the biggest tragedy in the history of the City-- Perhaps the country." "And you're taking your feelings about it" "Which I know are real and genuine because you were there and you lived through it, but you are now reconstituting them so that you can get laid by a French broad." "Is that right?" "Yeah, pretty much." "Yeah." "That's what I thought." "Yeah." "Yeah, I really like this one, Tom." "Genevieve and I-- we've really connected." "Oh, really?" "You've connected?" "Yeah." "Uh-huh." "Okay." "Can I remind you of a couple of facts?" "Okay, number 1:" "You're not a writer." "You're a fireman." "I think we established that a long time ago, okay?" "Number 2:" "Where do I sleep?" "Uh, take the couch." "Which would be... where?" "All right, maybe I should clean up a little bit." "Yeah."

"You think you want Tommy, but what you really want is to vent all your frustration toward Jimmy."

"You know, my mom says if we fail, I'll be dishonoring her memory." "Wait, I didn't know you could communicate with the dead." "Well, I can't, but my psychic can." "Your psychic can?" "Yeah."

"I'm glad you're making this easy for me." "Oh, boy." "Here we go." "The guys who sold you this place and I had an understanding." "They'd write out a check made to cash and put it in an envelope for me." "And I'd be so busy taking that check to the bank and spending the money, that I'd forget to report 'em." "Wow." "That's a sweet deal." "Wait a second." "Are you saying--?" "You're looking for a bribe?" "Certainly not."

'Cause see it was just me and my computer, you know... and the girls from Planet Slut." "Ohh." "Yeah, I was going at it for, like, 30 minutes." "I got nothing." "I ran out of Jergens, had to throw in the towel." "Literally, I threw in the towel." "I had a towel with me for cleanup purposes." "I had to throw it in." "Turned out to be unnecessary."

"But this is different, Tommy." "You know, it's not what you think." "She's not like, you know, pulling fake magic tricks and stuff." "She doesn't have a crystal ball." "And she doesn't use, like, tarot cards or do a seance or anything." "She's a real doctor." "Doctor of what?" "Uh...psychic stuff." "No." "She has, like, a real office, like a real doctor's office." "I'm sure she does." "She probably charges you more for that." "It's not about the money, Tommy." "She's putting me in touch with somebody who I love who's not with us anymore." "You can't put a price tag on that." "What does she tell you?" "Well," "I mean, she tells me a lot of stuff." "But she knew, like, about Green Point Lake." "And she even knew the color of the house." "And she knew the number of the house." "And she even knew the phone number to the house." "She knew the actual phone number?" "Yeah." "Maybe I should talk to her." "My mom?" "The doctor." "Oh." "The chick." "Yeah." "What do you want to talk to her about, though?" "You know, there's, like, a lot of dead people in my life." "My dad, you know." "Whoever." "Um, can you make an appointment for me?" "Yeah." "Sure." "Okay." "Do me a favor." "Just keep it between us, all right?" "Why?" "'Cause..." "I don't want to look like a retard." "Thanks." "Yeah." "No problem, Tommy." "Hey." "Hey." "Did you tell our daughter to have sex with her boyfriend?" "Yes, I did." "And let me explain." "Thank you." "Thank you." "It's genius." "It is?" "Yes." "I don't want her marrying this kid any more than you do." "Right." "Yeah." "So if they start having sex, things are gonna get messy and complicated, they're gonna forget this marriage thing, which is ridiculous." "Yeah." "You're busting my balls, right?" "No, no, no." "I am completely onboard with your secret evil plan." "It actually wasn't a secret evil plan." "I was trying to do the right thing." "I was." "Okay." "The guy may be great" "The kid is disciplined." "He doesn't smoke." "He doesn't drink." "I have nothing bad to say about the kid." "Except for..." "the other thing." "What other thing?" "The other thing." "[WHISPERING] Honey, let's not make this into a black thing." "Okay?" "You know what I have always said." "I don't care what color, whether the person is black, whether they're brown, if it's a Muslim, no-- Their religion." "As long as they can do the job," "I" " What?" "Were we ever married?" "It is not a black thing." "Well, it's not a religious thing, 'cause I'm not even sure he's a Muslim." "Is it a Muslim thing?" "No." "He's a firefighter." "Which means that Colleen's gonna go to bed every night wondering whether she's going to to be a widow and wondering if she's going to have to tell her kids that their daddy won't be coming home." "You know, and this guy may not drink or smoke, and he may not carry on like you did, but he still rushes into burning buildings for a living." "So no matter what color he is or who he bows down before, we both know what he worships most." "It's the job." "I don't care who Colleen marries, so long as it's not a fireman, but if you really love your daughter, then you'll make sure that she has sex with her boyfriend." "And I mean right now, goddamn it." "Okay." "Okay." "All right." "I think that's it." "Okay." "How's Katy?" "Still single." "What you've expressed in these pages" "I'm at a loss for words." "You liked them?" "The raw emotion, the honesty, it's more than I could have hoped for." "Really?" "For the first time since I started writing the story" "Actually perhaps for the first time since I was a student... it brought tears to my eyes." "Wow." "Thank you." "[CHUCKLES]" "It's, um" "It's the first time a woman's ever thanked me for making her cry." "Hey." "Hey." "I, uh-- I got an "A"." "Really?" "Let me guess what the "A" stands for." "Awesome, right?" "Absolutement." "Awesome." "That's two "A's"." "So I guess you finally watched that footage, huh?" "Yeah." "How much of the footage did you end up watching?" "All of it." "Anything in particular from the footage that kind of jumped out at you?" "All of it." "Mm-hm." "I would imagine so since you got 36 pages out of" "Forty-six, actually." "Hm." "Yeah." "Once I started, it just kind of flowed." "It must have been cathartic." "It was very cathartic." "Hm." "I can imagine, 'cause I'm gonna have a little catharsis of my own in the sink." "Perhaps I should buy you a drink." "We're opening our bar tonight." "You should" " You should come on down." "Um..." "This is the address." "Just show up here." "Don't tell anybody." "No one's supposed to know where it is." "Don't you want people to come?" "I don't know..." "Okay." "Well, I'll see you later." "Okay." "Bye." "Bye-bye." "Bye." "[SHUTS DOOR]" "So, uh, what's up with the cock block, Tom?" "The cock block?" "Heh." "You know, if I wanted to cock-block you, which I could do with one ball tied behind my sac, you wouldn't have even gotten that drink invite." "Okay?" "You're telling me that finally somehow you sat down and decided to watch thefootage." "I watched three and a half seconds." "There's no reason for her to know that." "Boy, three seconds, and you got 46 pages." "That was some goddamn writing." "Do you think that I need to watch any goddamn footage to remind me of that day, Tom?" "To remind me of what I saw and what I felt?" "To remind me of what my nightmares are still like, Tom?" "Do you think I need that?" "What I write down in these pages is a little bit, a tiny, little chunk, a healthy little chunk of some of the shit that I'm feeling inside of me." "And maybe by doing it, Tom, maybe, just maybe," "I can chip away at it and I can lighten my load just a little bit." "Three and a half goddamn seconds of footage." "You know, Tom, you weren't the only one down there that day." "And sometimes you forget that." "And sometimes I have to remind you." "I just did." "Do I just s-start talking?" "If you like." "Are you tape-recording this?" "No." "No." "This is private." "Well, I guess I should say that I don't really, uh, believe in any of this kind of stuff." "You know, I think it's kind of a con." "I just wanted to get that out of the way." "I'm already aware of that." "Right, 'cause you're psychic." "So what's this, uh, little staring contest gonna cost me?" "Hundred--?" "Hundred bucks a session?" "Hundred and fifty?" "I'll do it for free if it would make you more comfortable." "Nah." "That's all right." "I'll pay for your time." "Mr. Gavin, what I do here is real." "There is no hypnosis." "There's no crystal ball." "There's no incense." "There are no tarot cards." "The fact that the dead choose to communicate through me is not my own choice." "You're just lucky." "I didn't expect so much skepticism from someone who has the gift." "The gift?" "It can be a burden, can't it?" "Especially when you can't control it to carry those spirits with you for so long, only to have them abandon you in your hour of need." "When was your last visitation?" "Obviously it's been some time." "Your cousin Jimmy, you feel that since you've stopped drinking, it might be harder for him to reach you." "That's not it." "He's upset... about Damien." "You know what?" "You have my name." "Obviously you know where I work." "Uh..." "I work for the city." "So the internet, all this stuff's available." "So I'm not buying it."

"Decision making has never been your strong suit, but this is even going too far for you." "Tell me you're not drinking." "I'm not drinking." "Because since you told me you started seeing Jimmy again" "All right, listen, you know, that's" "I'm seeing somebody about that." "A shrink?" "[SCOFFS]" "No." "Tom, I'm in shock." "I never thought you'd go in for therapy, but" "Listen." "It's not therapy." "It's not therapy." "But she comes highly recommended." "She's a psychic." "Okay?" "I know." "I'm gonna fall down." "No, listen." "She's telling me stuff-- These people are full of shit." "They're worse than the con artists at the Catholic Church." "What are you talking about?" "It's kinda working for me." "It's smoke and mirrors." "They're snakes, those people." "It's not like what you think, number 1." "And 2, you want me to tell her she's crazy?" "Okay?" "Because she talks to dead people?" "I've been doing that for 8 years." "Oh, good then." "So you both got something in common." "You're both delusional." "You know, this" " This is really helping me out." "Okay?" "This is great." "Great." "You know what?" "Let's just" " Let's get in the cab right now." "We'll go to a meeting." "We'll nip this thing in the bud." "Everything's a meeting." "It solves everything." "You go back in there, you're making a choice to go back" "I'm working here." "You're in a bar." "You're seeing Jimmy." "You're thinking about Jimmy." "Where do you think it's gonna go?" "Huh?" "Tom, it's in the past." "Do me favor." "Let's just leave it in the past." "You gotta make that decision to move on." "What do you say?" "I'm going back inside." "[SIGHS]" "Hey, why'd you fire Derek?" "What do you mean, he's getting on everybody's nerves, right?" "I know." "But he's a hard worker, Tom." "I can't win with this" "Hey, where you going?" "You just fired me." "No." "No." "No." "You're rehired." "Go back to work." "And don't drink this time." "Come on, hurry up." "Oh, I get it, pally." "It was another test." "And you know what?" "Just cut the pally shit." "Sure thing, chief." "This guy's such a ballbuster." "How'd your meeting go with my psychic?" "She's pretty cool, huh?" "Well, I think she's more of a psychic than she is a doctor." "It's not my thing, you know." "Whatever." "I just want to say I'm really glad you went though." "Yeah." "I don't think I'll be going again, you know?" "I don't know." "I think you should." "I mean, she was really eager to meet you too." "What do you mean?" "We talked." "Yeah." "Your name comes up." "There's a lot of luggage that goes along" "Baggage." "What?" "Nothing." "Did you talk to her before I went to see her?" "Yeah, a little bit." "About what?" "Um, just like your dad dying, you know." "And your alcoholic issues." "And, uh-- Yeah?" "How you like to use those beauty creams on your face." "That was" " What's wrong with you telling people about the beauty cream." "I used that beauty cream, like, once." "Once, Tommy?" "You give me that little tube." "Three times, maybe." "Don't you tell people shit like that." "What's wrong with you?" "What else did you tell her?" "Connor." "Yeah." "And your brother and Jimmy." "And of course that whole" "Wait, wait, wait, wait." "You talked to her about Jimmy?" "Why don't you give her my social security number while you're at it?" "Um, 'cause I don't know your social security number, Tom." "What?" "[GRUNTS]" "What's wrong?" "May I help you?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "I wanna see the doc." "I'm sorry, sir." "Sessions are by appointment." "Yeah." "I'm making an appointment." "Hey, doc!" "Come on out!" "You'll have to wait for her." "I'll wait for her right now." "Is she even a doctor?" "Mr. Gavin, I'm in a session." "I came down to congratulate you." "I can't believe how simple this bullshit is." "Mike told me." "You interviewed him." "Asked him certain questions, and you find out certain information." "This is unacceptable." "Come back later" "You make money off people who are suffering loss and grief by finding out shit and throwing it back in their face." "And I don't know" " What'd you lose?" "Mother, father, what?" "My dog." "Her dog." "Her goddamn dead dog." "And you're making money off of her grief and her loss and her love for her dead goddamn dog!" "You're a piece of shit." "You know that?" "You know what you are?" "You're a carny." "You're a carny with teeth and an office." "Screw you." "The footage doesn't lie." "He wants you to know the truth about what happened to him that day, how he died." "Sorry about your dog."
