"And then you build this wall... around yourself, shutting me out, shutting Jesse out... with your cynicism and your derision!" "And you call that being responsible!" "Well, I can't live like this." "I don't care if I wind up... a truck stop waitress with platinum hair and pineapple earrings!" "At least I'd be alive." "Be better than living with a corpse." "Before you, uh, get on with your career in the service industry... let's set the record straight." "Because I don't want you leaving with any misunderstandings." "Maybe you're right." "Maybe I was afraid." "Maybe I can't..." "take failure." "That's probably true." "And maybe it's because the decision was all up to me." "It was always all up to me." "You were so afraid of being wrong, you never made a choice." " At least you made it look that way." " What does that mean?" "If you recall, my first response to my mother's offer to live here was absolutely not." " Lie." " Absolutely not." "You think about it." "We were sitting in our bedroom on 78th Street." "We were smoking a joint and listening to Al Green." " And I said, "Absolutely not." - [Connie] I'm sorry... but I have had enough!" "I have never heard of such a Christmas.!" "Sex and drugs a-a-and women being set on fire!" " I am taking my children upstairs right now." " Connie, that's it." " Sit down and shut up." "Okay?" "Sit down and shut up." " Come on, kids..." " We're going upstairs." "Gary?" " I think this is more important." " Well, I think this is sick!" " Connie, honey, right now nobody cares what you think." " You have not defended me once this entire evening!" " Tell her to sit down." "[All Arguing]" "Just sit down and give these people... a little space to work out their..." " Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me!" " [Glass Shattering]" " If you don't mind, the corpse still has the foor." " [Poker Hits Floor]" "I told you what moving here could mean, but you were the one who said we should consider it." "Not the actual moving, just the considering." "The actual moving-in part was left to me." "Why?" "Because you didn't know what to do." "You were confused." "You didn't know what was the right thing." "But you were sure as hell sick and tired ofliving... in a one-bedroom apartment in New York City." "So don't hand me that "it was the best of times" bullshit!" "You didn't want to work anymore, and you didn't want any help with the baby... because you wanted to do it all by yourself." "And you hated New York... because we weren't as rich as your college friends were to enjoy it." "We couldn't afford a bigger place... and you were miserable being around people who could." "And... we were up to our ears in debt." "But moving here was my decision." "Right!" "And the loan was same situation..." "What difference does any of this make now?" "You're getting a divorce." " Mother." " What?" "Is it possible for you to shut the fuck up for ten seconds?" "Lloyd, don't talk to me like that in my own house." "You know what, Mom?" "You know what I'm gonna get you next Christmas?" "A big wooden cross." "So every time you feel unappreciated for all your sacrifices... you can climb on up and nail yourself to it." "Gary, get my bags." " I'm leaving." " [Connie] Oh.!" "Go get them yourself." "He's not your errand boy!" "Has everyone gone nuts?" "Who the hell do you think you are?" "Slipper socks, medium!" " [Doorbell Rings]" " Hey!" "The army?" "What the fuck?" "What am I?" "Oswald, here?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey, hey, no." "Hey, come on." "Come on, will ya?" "Ooh!" " [Muffed Grunting]" " Okay, okay." " Is this part of the therapy?" " [Doorbell Rings]" "Now, I want everybody into the den or I'm gonna shoot her." " Go ahead, shoot her." " Shut up!" "Get in the den!" "[Growling]" "[Doorbell Rings]" "[Caroline] Hi." "[Man] Mr. And Mrs. Chasseur, I'm sorry to disturb you during the holidays." "I'm Lieutenant Siskel from the academy." "Is there some trouble?" "Yes, yes, and I couldn't in good conscience let it wait any longer." "[Lloyd] Does it involveJesse?" "[Siskel] It does." "Uh, Jesse is a very clever... and enterprising young businessman." "He currently has several photographs of me." " [Lloyd] Oh, my Lord." " [Groaning]" "Hey, hey, kid." "Kid, that's enough." " You sure this will hold?" " Yeah." " [Chuckles]" " I knew... you weren't a doctor." "I knew it." "You'll never get away, you know." "You'll either be captured or killed." "One less worthless man around." "One less burden to society." "Un-fuckin'-believable." "I've survived worse than you." "World wars, old age, marriage and weak men like you." "Men who don't have the guts to survive in the real world." "Men who are just scared little boys intimidating everyone with their aggressiveness... because they're afraid the world will find out... how small their penises are." "You know, lady, I'd like to tie you to the back of a fuckin' truck." "You don't have the balls." " No, no!" "Don't." "It's not worth it." " I just want to hit her." " I fuckin' hate her, Lloyd." " I know." "I know." "Mary, gag your grandma." " [Whimpers] - [Gus] What the fuck is wrong with you?" "I thought moms were supposed to be nice... and sweet an-an-and patient." "I know loan sharks that are more forgiving than you." "Your husband ain't dead, lady, he's hiding." "[Thumping Upstairs]" "Let's go." "Shit." " Wow." " Oh, honey." "Is Siskel still here?" "[Lloyd] No." "What are you gonna do, Dad?" "Turn me in?" "May I ask you just one question?" "Is there something that we don't give you?" "What do you need all that money for?" " Drugs?" "What?" " No!" " More video games?" "What more can we buy you?" " Lloyd, no, stop it!" "That's it, that's it." " Gus, I'm going with you." "I'll give you a cut." " What?" "We can make it to the docks on foot." "We can take a shortcut." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Slow down, slow down." "You gotta take me with you." "I have no other option." " I can't stay here." " What am I?" "The fuckin' circus?" "Take you with me?" " But come on!" " No, forget it." "Forget it." "Just forget it, okay?" "Don't start running, kid." "Once you start, you never stop." "Believe me." "Fine." "Fine, be that way." "I'll just go by myself then." "Oh, please, Jesse, look." "Give us another..." " Oh, Jesse." "We screwed up, not you." "Oh!" " [Doorbell Rings]" "[Sighs] Shit." "Who is that?" "Look, I promise you, we'll take care of this." "We'll fix everything." "No matter what happens between me and your father..." " You're splitting up?" " That's not your problem, honey." "Hey, I'm in this family too, you know." "Every time you guys yell and scream at each other, it is my problem, Mom." " Caroline, let's go." " One second." "Okay, a lot's happened between me and Lloyd." "We've made a lot of mistakes." "You got caught in the middle." "Do you hate each other?" "[Doorbell Continues Ringing]" " No." " Then you're staying together." " Caroline, come on." "Let's go." " Oh, just wait!" "Please!" "I don't know." "I don't know what your father wants." "What do you want?" "Caroline." "Caroline, come on." "We'll talk about this later, okay?" "Just stay here, please." " We'll be back soon." " What about Siskel?" "We'll fix it, honey." "We'll give him the money, the photos, anything." "Just... stay right there." "Hey!" "You know something?" "Lloyd, Caroline..." " Every year we give you a fruitcake for Christmas..." " Didn't you lock the door?" "And you don't give us a goddamn thing." "My wife thinks it's because..." "Hey, you had a gun, didn't you?" " Me?" " Yes, you did." "You did." " You had a gun." "I saw it." " No." " Hey, you're the guy." "You're the guy, aren't ya?" " Okay, pal." "What, are you pulling a gun on me?" "I'm not afraid of you." " Just calm down, all right?" " You think you can take me?" "I'm Santa Claus." "[Shouting]" " [Gasping] - [Santa Hits Floor]" "Great." "I just beat up Santa Claus." "[Siren Wailing]" "Guys, the cops are here." "What are we gonna do?" "Central, Cruiser 252." "Panella speaking." "I'm at the Chasseur house." "Over." " We gotta get you outta here." " But I can't just leave." "I don't know where I'm goin'." "Just keep pretending like you're Dr. Wong." "Then you don't have to go." " There's five people tied up in the back room." "Come on." " Then we can hide you." " We can hide you anywhere." "I know this place." " There's search teams." "They search until they find what they're looking for." "It's a bad idea." "No, it's a good idea." "There's the mudroom, the trap door in the mudroom." " We'll put you in there." "It'll be perfect." " No, no, no." " Or the trunk of the Beamer." "The trunk of the Beamer's a good place." " No, no." " [Siren Wailing]" " Oh, I know." "The hope chest.!" "We'll put you in the hope chest." " I can pretend I've lost the key." " Forget about it!" "No, no, no!" "[Gus] What about the basement?" "Is there a tunnel or a hole?" "Path through the woods!" "Jesse, quick, take Gus to the path through the woods." "You said you know a shortcut to the docks, right?" "You're the only one that can take him." "Well, what do you want us to do?" "Turn him in?" "I can't spend my whole life sending everybody I care about to prison." "Go on." "Okay, Dad." "Come on, Gus." "Let's get outta here." "[Lloyd] And be careful." " All right, go, go, go." "We'll stall the cops." " [George Groaning]" "If I were a senator..." "[Groaning]" " How many more after this?" " Sixteen." " Geez." " 419, we're over at Seabury Court." "Over." " 419, dispatch." " Yeah, we're starting canvassing..." "[Knocking] State police!" "There's got to be someone home with all these lights and that car in the driveway." "Ah, geez." "We got a live one." "I need some people to surround this house right now." "Eddie, get your men in here!" "Hit it!" "[Muffed Talking]" "Oh, my God!" "Thank God you're here!" "You've got to hurry!" " You have no idea the nightmare I've been through!" " He left an hour ago." " He went to an airport in Hartfo..." "Would you shut up?" " The entire night..." "I'm trying to give them important information." "He went to an airport in Hartford." "Oh, I suppose you're the only one who's been tied up all night." " I didn't say that." " What is this?" "A men's club?" "Excuse me.!" "Are there any other hostages in the house?" " No." " No." " Oh, kid." "Ah, Jesus." " Come on, Gus." "There's no better route than this with less snow?" "No, this is it." "This is the best route." " This is the best route?" " We'll be there in no time." "Come on!" "I might need a wheelchair, I'm telling you, kid." "I distinctly heard him say that he was headed to a small airport in Hartford." "And from there he was taking a private plane to Vancouver." " [Caroline] No, no, it was not Vancouver." " What's going on?" " [Lloyd] Yes, it was Vancouver." " We're working on it." " He was on the phone, and he said Yugoslavia." " Yugoslavia.!" "There is no Yugoslavia anymore." "And who in their right mind would go there?" " He's not in his right mind!" " All right!" " Oh, uh, sorry." " Sorry." "Would you like us to come downtown and give our statement?" " [Both] No!" " We'd be willing to do that." " No, no, no, no." " Thanks anyway." "Hey, merry Christmas." " Thank you." "Merry Christmas." " Thank you very much." " Oh." "Well, if you're sure." " Bye." "Bye-bye." " Good night, everybody." " Thank you." "Thank you so much." " [Jesse] Docks are down the street on your left." " [Siren Blares]" "Hey, George!" "The curfew!" "Go home!" "Get off the streets!" "Home, George, home." "Guess I ought to be getting home now." "Good idea." "You know, I think things are gonna be different with Dad." "If they're not, I'll blackmail him." "See ya, Gus." "Take it easy." "Christ." "I'm never having kids." "So do you think we should go untie everybody?" "No." "We should unwrap them in the morning." " It'll be more festive." " [Laughing]" "So what aboutJesse?" "Well, Siskel said if we give him back the pictures he won't press charges." "No, no, I, um..." "I mean about us." "What do we tell him about us?" "Oh, Carrie." "Sorry, but Grandma's eating through her gag." "You know something?" "You are a piece of work, pal." "I tell you to get a boat, and this is what you get?" "Get out of the fuckin' way." " Uh, Gussie?" " What?" " When are we gonna open presents?" " Presents?" "Is that what you said?" "Presents?" "I'll tell you what." "As soon as we get back, we're gonna open the presents." "Matter of fact, I'll tell ya." "I'll save you the trouble." "Your present is a giant, fuckin' cannon, okay?" "And when we get back, you're gonna crawl into it, okay?" "I'm gonna put two pounds of gunpowder in there, I'm gonna light it up... and I'm gonna shoot you right out into fuckin'Jersey, okay?" "And then I'm gonna steal a car and drive toJersey and pick up all the little fuckin' pieces... of your body, put 'em in a big plastic bag, bring it back to my house..." "put 'em in the fireplace, light 'em on fire." "I'm gonna sit there with a glass of whiskey... and watch the Charlie Brown special with your ashes heatin' my fuckin' house!" "Oh!" " [Sniffing] Gus?"
