06x05 - The Flood

[bunniefuu]

( theme music playing )

Woman:
1,290 square feet.

Let's call it 13
with the balcony.

One and a half bathrooms.

That means it's a full bath
and a powder room.

Two bedrooms,
11th floor,

One parking spot
with an option for a second.

And at $28,000,

I do believe that was
everything on your list.

It's a little farther east
than I wanted.

In fact, it's about
as far east as you could go.

You can see the highway
from the corner.

You can see the river.

And who needs
central park

When you can smell the ocean
and the hungarian bakeries?

Believe me, when they finish
the second avenue subway,

This apartment
will quadruple in value.

- ( doorbell rings )
- oh, that's barbara.

You let me do
the talking.

Sorry I'm late.

It's quite a hike
between first and york.

It's got to be longer
than a normal block.

I don't think so.

We just got started.

What do you think?

I think no one's
gonna catch that
doorman napping.

I left your name.

It's got a doorman.

I was telling peggy
that an offer is coming in
at asking price.

We'd have to b*at it.

So it's in your best interest
to be decisive

And take this property
seriously.

Well, okay,
but it's not my decision.

Ginny, we are taking
this seriously.

- What abe means is--
- I'm more her trusted advisor.

An interested party.

Oh. I see.

I, uh, misunderstood.

I'm going to flush
that toilet again.

She didn't know
I wasn't the buyer?

So all this time
she was just being rude.

( laughs )
forget about her.

Is it too far east?

Betty:
Dinner.

Bobby, sally,
let's go.

( elevator bell dings )

Look at you two.
Heading to the track?

( laughs )

- Where are you going?
- Dc, if jonesy can find a cab.

- Hope you're not in a rush.
- We have a car coming.

6:30?
We should have done that.

We're not going
to miss the train.

Where are you going?

They said dc.

I mean,
why are you going?

Arnie was invited last minute
to give a keynote address.

Did you have to tell him
it was last minute?

I guess the point is
somebody more important
fell out.

It's a very
distinguished group.

And you must have been
at least as important.

Either way, it sounds
like a good excuse for
a weekend in washington.

Yes. Come Monday morning,
it'll all be a dream.

We should really go away.

Looks like you're going
somewhere fun now.

We are.
Megan's up for an award.

Good for you.
Maybe tomorrow

You'll be calling
the producers and
asking for a raise.

No, it's for advertising.

The ad club of new york.

- Paul newman's coming.
- My goodness.

You're really good
at everything.

I was just a name
on the team.

There's the car.

Well, break a leg.

You, too.

Oh, and, don...

We're going to dc.

( laughs )

Hey, pop, I--

I'm sorry.
Am I interrupting something?

We were waiting for you.

Look, miss,
whatever he told you
we were interested in,

- We're not.
- See how funny he is?

Now, don't be rude.
This is beverly farber.

She is chaim farber's
daughter.

I'm-- our dads,
they play chess together.

Oh, uh...

Well, I...
It's nice to meet you.

And now that you're home
from a busy day

On madison avenue,

I think you should go out
and have some dinner.

What?

Maybe we should
do this another time.

Nonsense.
There's no time
like the present.

You both should
have some fun.

She's a schoolteacher.
She works all the time.

I need to shave,
change my clothes, prepare.

I mean, look at her.
She had a jump on me.

( laughs )
I did.

I was led to believe
that you knew about this.

- Why did you tell her that?
- What's the difference?

Look at her.
I'm obviously doing
you a disservice.

At least we're close
to the kitchen.

It's not fair that
all the big agencies
are up front.

Closer to their trophies.

But at least we're gonna
eat before them.

Oh, I see peggy back there.
We should go say hello.

- I'm gonna wait for the group.
- You can't avoid her forever.

I'm not.

Tell her that
no matter what,

Her laxative radio spot
is the sentimental favorite.

Megan:
Hello, stranger.

I was hoping I'd see you.

You know,
other than on tv.

- You don't watch.
- My mother and sister do.

Really?
Do they hate me?

Oh, just a minute.

Megan, I want you
to meet jim cutler.

He's the president
of cgc.

This is megan draper.
She's also a finalist.

You must be don's wife.

When I started out,
they didn't make

Copywriters like you.

Good luck.

He's the head of accounts.

He's like roger
with bad breath.

So he knows who you are.
It must be going well.

If I survive tonight.

Cgc has no other finalists.

Other-- they have none.

I only came because
it seemed important to don.

I bet it is.
We're the only
finalists from scdp

And neither of us
work there anymore.

My work was for beans

And they aren't even
a client anymore.

I don't want
to talk about this.

I want to talk
about my apartment.

I made an offer today.
I think we're gonna
be neighbors.

- 84th and york.
- You're buying a place?

Well, I paid off my debts
and helped out my mother

And it turns out I still
have this tax problem.

Don't apologize, peggy.
You deserve it.

Thank you.

I should get back.

I have to walk
all the way down
to the front.

You're terrible.

Joan:
These are the worst
seats in the room.

- Don draper,
this is randall walsh.
- A pleasure to meet you.

Randy here is in insurance
and he wants to come in
for an official visit.

Look, man, it's not
like we're not supposed
to talk about business here.

You want a presentation
right now?

I don't think we'll
interrupt the proceedings,
wherever they are.

- I just thought
you two should meet.
- We've already met.

In fact,
I'm pretty sure we've had
this meeting already, too.

- And it went well.
- So where's our check?

- He's solid.
- Okay, randy.

Go get back in your cage.

- What was that?
- Don't worry about it.

Have no fear.
They're gonna fire
off a cannon

- When the atrocities begin.
- ( laughter )

Hello all.
You remember my wife nan.

Hello, everyone.
Good luck.

I told you, nan,
peggy's the only
one competing.

Well, I didn't know
what else to say.

So you probably
figured out by now
that you didn't win.

- Ted.
- But it doesn't matter,
because next year you will.

- Ted.
- And the year after.
Just a second, honey.

- Hey, man, sorry.
- Oh, I'm in your seat.

Nan, you wanted
to see paul newman.

Here he is.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Emcee:
Ladies and gentlemen,
we would like to welcome you

To the advertising club
of new york's

Fourth annual
andy awards for excellence
in advertising.

( applause )

So you like kids?

Excuse me?

I was asking because
you're a teacher,

But I realize
how that could sound
like something else.

I'm a student teacher.

I'm getting my master's
at hunter.

And, yes, I like kids.
Some kids.

I just really
can't believe he brought
you to the apartment.

Stop saying that.
You don't know
where I live.

Well, it's kind of early
to find out, isn't it?

Yes, I suppose it is.

I don't know
what you're expecting.

I mean, a couple
of alter kockers arrange
a little meeting like this,

It sounds very old world.
But it doesn't feel like it.

I mean, you're a sexy girl
and you smell great.

You don't need
to be set up.

And I sure as hell
didn't arrange this.

I'm sure my father told you
what a lothario I am,

But I'm not.
I'm very anxious about it.

I've never had sex,
not even once.

( laughs )
okay.

What am I doing?
I ordered soup,
I just said that.

Michael...

I'm just doing a favor
for my parents.

Tonight will not be
the night.

And I saw
a picture of you

And, honestly,
you're very handsome.

And I'm obviously
very shallow.

- I am?
- You must have
heard that before.

So...

Do you make a lot
of money teaching?

( laughs )
no.

Emcee:
Ladies and gentlemen,
paul newman.

Newman:
Good evening.
I am paul newman.

The advertising club
of new york

Has been kind enough
to let me say a few words
here tonight.

And I want to make one thing
clear from the very start.

- I need binoculars.
- Shh.

Newman:
I'm not here
because I'm an actor.

We invited him
because he's an actor.

Newman:
I'm here because I've got six
kids and I'm worried about...

That's not an actor,
that's a speck.

Gene mccarthy stood up
to lyndon johnson

Before bobby kennedy.

The others backed into
the election

With their fingers
to the wind,

Thinking of their own career
when the nation

Was in critical need
of a hero.

I know bobby kennedy,

But I'm supporting
gene mccarthy

For president
of the United States.

( applause )

Man:
Mr. Newman, sir.

Do you know,
mr. Newman, sir, that
martin luther king is dead?

- What have you to say?
- ( crowd murmuring )

No, that can't be.

Who the hell said that?

Woman:
How awful.

Emcee:
If I could have your attention
for a moment, please.

A moment of your attention.

Not wanting to interrupt
the festivities,

We hoped to keep this news
until the end of the event.

As it stands,
let's take 10 minutes

To talk out
this terrible event

And then resume
the program.

What do you
think happened?

- What do you think?
- Come on.

I guess puerto rico.

But who has time?

Your father says you've even
written some billboards.

That must be exciting.

You'd think so,
but they usually
change it so much

By the time they put it
up there, it just makes you
angry every time you walk by.

- ( laughs )
- man on radio:
...In memphis, tennessee,

After being sh*t in the face
by an unknown assailant

On the balcony
in front of a downtown hotel
a short while ago.

- ( plate shatters )
- associated press says
assistant police chief

Henry lux of memphis
confirmed dr. King's death.

- Reverend dr. King, winner
of the nobel peace prize...
- Oh, my god.

- ...Was 39 years old.
- They had to do it.

He was in memphis
to lead demonstrations

In sympathy
with a prolonged strike

By municipal garbage men,
most of them n*gro.

Police at last report
were still looking

For a young white male
who was seen running

From the scene
of the sh**ting

And reportedly dropped
the w*apon in flight.

What are you doing in here?
Thought you'd be by the set.

- She won't let us watch.
- Because who knows what
they're going to show?

You don't have to go.

Betty, they're gonna
burn down the city.

Everything's fine.
I have to go help the mayor.

Please be careful.

- And call me.
- Man on radio: We repeat,

Dr. Martin luther king,
america's nonviolent
civil rights...

What is taking so long?

There are other people here
who need to make calls.

They sh*t him in the face
in memphis.

Do they know who?

Come on, they didn't catch
him yet, but you know who.

Listen, jimmy says they
can get me a photographer
if I can get uptown.

No, it's not a good idea.

It's the "new york times."

- And what?
- It's a huge story.

( sirens wailing )

- Don't do anything stupid.
- Peggy, it's too late.

I'm going to harlem
in a tuxedo.

I can't believe this.

Abe just went uptown
for work.

I'm sick and I don't even know
how I'm gonna get home.

We'll give you a ride.

I'm tired
of waiting for a phone.
I'm going home.

What are we doing?
They're really still
having the awards?

What else are we
gonna do?

Look, I'm sure
it's hard to sleep.

What is that?

What are you doing?

I didn't do it.
It peeled off.

Why are you
destroying this house?

( sighs )
you can't do this.

I didn't do anything.

I don't want
to talk about it now.

Please just go to sleep.

( door closes )

...The civil rights
movement

Has been sh*t to death
in memphis, tennessee.

Police have issued
an all-points bulletin...

It's me.

Oh.

How are you?

Not good.

I don't know why
I'm so surprised.

It's shameful.

Listen, I...

( sirens wailing )

I don't want you
and tammy to be alone.

I could come out
and sleep there tonight
if you want.

No, I--

We'll be fine.

Well, I want
to see tammy.

Is she all right?

She doesn't know
what's going on.

No, of course.

I'll see you on Saturday.

No, I'll just tell
my parents

You couldn't get out
of the city.

Or I'll just cancel it
altogether.

Trudy.

What?

I don't want you
to be worried.

Okay.

Man on tv:
In a nationwide
television address,

President johnson
expressed the nation's shock.

Good night, peter.

Good night.

Johnson:
...Of dr. Martin luther king.

I ask every citizen

To reject
the blind v*olence

That has struck
dr. King,

Who lived
by nonviolence.

Pop, wake up.

What time is it?

What are you doing
home so early?

We cut it short.

Martin luther king
got k*lled.

( sirens wailing )

Reporter:
...Try and cool things down.

In boston,
according to police reports,

A large crowd of negroes
stoned six police cruisers

Near a n*gro housing project
in the roxbury section.

And there was a clash between
police and young negroes

In raleigh's main
downtown streets tonight.

The latest report of trouble
comes from washington, dc,

Where stores along
a six-block area

Were broken into
late this evening.

- ( speaking french )
- president johnson went on
nationwide television

To express his shock
and personal grief
at the tragedy.

( speaking french )

...Looking subdued and grim
at the thought

Of what this act
could mean in a country

Already taut
with racial tension.

He said he applauded
the escalation of decay.

So sick of that
marxist bull_ó_.

So far it's only
looting in harlem,

But a lot of places
are on fire.

Well, it's raining.

Do you think
your secretary is okay?

Sylvia and arnold
are in dc.

My father just hides
behind his intellect.

He doesn't want
to feel any emotions.

Let's watch inside.

Maybe we can fall asleep.

( tv turns off )

( phones ringing )

- ( knocks )
- am I disturbing you?

No. I'm not gonna judge you
if you want a drink.

The man knew how to talk.

I don't know why,
but I thought that
would save him.

I thought it would solve
the whole thing.

Oh, I don't know if he
just wants to hold hands,

But my insurance friend
from last night, he called.

He wants to come in
at 3:00.

I'll have caroline remind you
since you're on your own.

Could you get the door?

Yes, actually, I'm trying
to reach dr. Rosen.

No, I'm not a patient.

I just know that
he's in washington and--

Well, I was concerned.

I'm his neighbor.

Oh, well,
if you do reach him,

Just say...

Actually, no message.

I'll try later.

( radio playing )

Oh, you're here.

I'm sorry.
There's no reception
out there.

No, I just--
I didn't expect you
to come in.

I kept calling
and no one answered.

We went out
to my aunt's in newark.

Why would you do that?

My mother wanted
to be with her sister.

Abe said it could
have been a lot worse.

I'm so sorry.

I knew it was
going to happen.

He knew it was
going to happen.

But it's not gonna
stop anything.

And these fools
running in the streets--

It's exactly
what he didn't want.

You should go home.

In fact, none of us
should be working.

Thank you.

Is this really
what happened?

You didn't
tell me anything.

They got it right,
except that it was terrifying.

Walking into that angry,
crazy crowd

And lindsay
smiling like he was going
to a pancake breakfast.

The only lives
his honor seemed
worried about protecting

Were the photographers'.

- But it worked.
- I'll tell you what worked.

Cutting deals with all
the militants last year.

Well, I'm glad
you were there.

Me, too.
And I got to go back in.

I want you to eat
something first.

- ( phone ringing )
- clara.

Have you seen scarlett?

Where's my girl?

They must all be
watching tv somewhere.

- Not in my office.
- I barely slept last night.

I just thought working
might take my mind off things.

Good luck.
Been on the phone
all morning.

They're worried about
last night, obviously,

But they're worried
about tonight, they're
worried about the weekend.

- Who?
- The clients.

They won't take make-goods.
They want money back.

- That's disgusting.
- I don't know.

It's enough
of this crap already.

All these special
broadcasts preempting
the prime-time schedule.

"bewitched," merv,
dean martin.

You know they might
cancel the stanley cup?

How dare you?

This cannot be made good.

It's shameful.

It's a shameful,
shameful day!

Don't you scream at me.

You don't think I'm upset
about that man being sh*t?

Only because
it's costing you,
you pig!

It's costing
all of us.

Until they turn the most
beautiful city in the world
into a s_ó_ hole.

- Gentlemen, stop it.
Stop it this minute.
- In a second, bert.

Did you know we were
in the presence of
a bona fide r*cist?

That's the latest
thing, isn't it?
Everybody's a r*cist.

Gentlemen!

I urge you to shake hands
in the spirit of erasing
these remarks.

I'm sorry.

I suppose that my comments
were inappropriate.

I mistook this
for a workday.

Don't worry.
I'm sure you can
make your money back

On some movie of the week
next fall

About the death
of a great man.

That is not what I meant.

Let me put this
in terms you'll understand.

That man had a wife
and four children.

( doors slam )

( knocks )

I'm sorry I'm late.

Would you like coffee?

Dawn, I'm just glad
you're okay.

Joan was trying
to reach you.

The phone was out
for a little bit last night

And, well, it took
some time to get here.

I don't think
you should work today.

I couldn't reach you.
I assumed you weren't
coming in.

My mother told me I should.

Well, mr. Cooper just
announced that out of respect

We're going to close
the office early.

- Oh.
- That's probably
a good idea.

- Mr. Sterling still wants
to have the 3:00 meeting.
- Are we closed or not?

Stan and ginsberg
will also be joining.
Do you want to cancel it?

- If you're gonna stay,
I'll stay.
- No, you go.

I'd really rather
be here today.

Okay.

We're all so sorry.

Do you want anything?

No.

( phone rings )

- Hello?
- Peggy olson, please.

- This is peggy.
- Oh.

I was about to send over your
offer and it occurred to me--

Oh, my offer.
I completely forgot
about that.

- You haven't sent it?
- No, I haven't.

Well, no one's gonna want
to look at that today.

May I speak?

I thought the same thing,
but then I realized

There's trouble
10 blocks away.

They're probably
on pins and needles.

So am I.
Do I want to live
up there?

Get ahold of yourself.
The other buyer never came in.

Why don't we come in
at 5,000 under asking

And give them 24 hours
to respond?

We'll let the tv news
do the rest.

- I don't know.
- This is the only
apartment for you.

You don't want to be
kicking yourself next week.

And, of course, I'll wait
until tomorrow to present.

Good girl.

Randall walsh,
you remember don.

This is stan rizzo
and michael ginsberg.

Randall, would you
like a drink?

Never.
I really don't
even want to talk.

I was trying to
communicate without words,
but it's not working.

Randy, it never works.

Randall has an idea
and the ad director
won't take a chance.

You're in the property
insurance business.

I'll bet you're about
to get hit pretty hard.

Forget about that.

This is about
a no bull_ó_ approach

To why I got
into this business.

People say they care.

I really care.

We're waiting
for you, randall.

All I see
when I close my eyes

Is our name
and a molotov cocktail

Being lit with a match.

And then a coupon
at the bottom.

The ad sales guy
didn't like that?

I know what it looks like--
fearmongering.

But this is the opposite.

This is a coded message
that came to me

When I was visited
by the spirit

Of dr. King last night.

He said that I should question
the whole property thing, man.

It makes you happy, right?

( stifled laugh )

No, I think it was

His end will always
be in poor taste.

'cause you'd rather
not think about it.

But there is a tear,
and in that tear

Are all the tears
in the world,

All the animals crying.

You're right--
I don't want to think
about it.

What don's saying is
despite what we believe

To be good intentions,

You're allowing
the emotions of the day,

And whatever else
you got in your system,
to influence your judgment.

Are you forgetting
what tecumseh said?

Heya howa howa hoya.

- Heya howa howa.
- I had forgotten that.

We'll think about it.

This is an opportunity.

The heavens
are telling us to change.

You talked
to dr. King's ghost?

Make sure randy
doesn't get lost.

- I had to wait
around for that?
- I don't know.

He was very emotional.
He talked me off a roof once.

I kind of owed him.
You want a drink?

I just want to go home.

Someone's gonna do
that idea, you know.

Not us.

Reporter:
Three deaths
have been reported

In the washington
rioting so far.

There are no details yet
on the circumstances
surrounding them.

More than 350 persons
have been treated
for injuries.

- Among them, several
policemen and firemen.
- ( phone ringing )

Firefighting was hampered
if for no other reason

By the sheer volume
of the alarms.

But still, some persons
were injured and...

Megan:
It's betty. You're supposed
to pick up the kids.

Oh, s_ó_.

Got it.
Hello.

I knew you would forget.

You really want them
down here?

I know you don't.
You get out of every
opportunity to see them.

You don't even know
how strange they're acting.

The news is very upsetting.

I'm sure it has nothing
to do with the fact

That their father
forgot about them.

You want me
to come up there
and get them,

Drive right through
everything after dark?

Well, of course,
henry thinks it's fine,

But he's not as concerned
about their safety as you are.

Well, henry would know.

I guarantee you'd go
to canada on your knees

To pick up your girlfriend.

I don't believe this.

I'm going to get the kids.

...Relatively little
interference during
the afternoon.

Really?

They called in the troops
in washington,

But henry says
we're fine here.

She's a piece of work.

Looting spread to the downtown
shopping section of the city

And as darkness fell,
arrests increased.

( sirens wailing )

You finished with that?
You can walk me to work.

I'm already at work.

Since when are you
going in on Saturday?

Since I don't want to be
in front of the tv set.

Good as new.

This?

This is a mess.

You can't sew,
you can't cook,
you can't clean.

You don't think
there's a reason you
have all these flaws?

You need a girl.

But maybe you
don't like 'em.

I like girls, dad.

If that was true,
you'd be in bed
with her right now.

I don't think
anybody's in the mood.

It's quite the opposite.

Now's the time
when a man and a woman

Need to be together
the most.

In a catastrophe.

In the flood, the animals
went two by two.

You, you're gonna get on
the ark with your father.

I can find
my own girls, okay?

Okay.

I'll bring you a sandwich.

( tv playing )

( sighs )

I'm glad
you finally slept.

What's going on?

We're going to a vigil
in the park.

- You're not supposed
to be watching tv.
- I'm not.

You are, and mom
said you can't.

Sally, stop it.

Troy and bridget called.
They're gonna meet us there.

We'll be back
in a couple of hours.

I don't feel well.

You go on ahead.
I'll watch him.

Come on.

Look, I just can't sit around
in the apartment anymore.

I feel like
I have to do something.

I understand.

I knew you wouldn't go.

You want some aspirin?

Hey.
Turn it off.

( tv turns off )

Tell me exactly
what your mother said.

I'm not allowed
to watch tv for a week.

Dr. Zaius:
Man has no understanding.

He can be taught
a few simple tricks,
nothing more.

Dr. Zira:
I'm afraid
I must disagree.

According to
my experiments--

Dr. Zira,
I must caution you.

I guess your stomach
is feeling better.

Why are you being punished?

I don't know.

Come on.

Because the wallpaper
didn't line up.

...The simian nature
from a study of man

Is sheer nonsense,

Because man
is a nuisance.

He eats up his food supplies
in the forest...

You maniacs!

You blew it up!

Oh, damn you!

God d_ó_ you
all to hell!

The humans
blew up new york?

All of america.

So he came back to here?

In the future.

Jesus.

You want to see it again?

Can we?

- ( typewriter clacking )
- ( phone ringing )

I need another half hour.

Oh, yeah.
Just a minute.

It's for you.
It's the real estate agent.

- Hello, ginny.
- Well, we didn't get it.

Wh-- what happened?

Someone came in
a little bit higher.

But you know what?
It wasn't meant to be.

( sighs )
how much higher?

It was still
under asking, peggy.
It wasn't meant to be.

There's no other way
to think about it.
Try, try again.

( hangs up )

Someone else
got the apartment.

What are you gonna do?

- That's it?
- What do you
want me to say?

That you give a damn.

Peggy, this is
an emotional story.

Stop being such a martyr.
You're having the time
of your life.

- Why are you so mad?
- Because I'm alone in this.

That's not cool.

I don't mean financially.

I mean, don't you care
where we live?

Look, I don't feel right
expressing an opinion.

Now is your chance.

I don't want to live
on the upper east side.

Fine. Why?

I don't know.

I saw us raising
our kids in a place

With more different
kinds of people.

This photographer
trailing me the other night,

He lives in the west 80s.

Isn't it dangerous?

No, it's more rundown.

But that's why
it's so cheap.

Get some lumber,
a coat of paint--
people are doing it.

I didn't know
you felt that way.

About the upper east side.

I do.

I'm sorry.

I just felt
it wasn't my money.

How much of a say
do I have?

You're in my life.

You're a part
of my life.

Peggy, I've got
to finish this.

( typewriter clacking )

- Did you see this movie?
- Not yet.

Do you get
to see it for free?

- I do.
- It's really good.

- We're seeing it again.
- You enjoy yourself.

Everybody likes
to go to the movies
when they're sad.

I was looking for you.
You left the tv on.

I don't feel right
turning it off,

But I don't want
to watch it.

He doesn't even want
me to come in.

Everything has
settled down.

For the time being.

No, I think this
is the end of it.

Good.

Betty, I hope you know
you'll never have to
worry about money.

Why would you
bring that up?

Nothing.

I just keep
asking myself,

- "what am I doing?"
- about what?

I keep thinking about
walking through harlem,

Lindsay a few paces ahead,
grinning like he always does,

The rest of us
following behind.

- Wasn't that frightening?
- It was exhilarating.

But what was the cost
of avoiding that riot?

Police corruption,
disrespect for authority,

Negotiating with hoodlums.

You can't say that
to the mayor.

He's never been
more popular.

It's just, betty,

I keep thinking I would
do it differently.

I want to do it
differently.

And, well,
they approached me

Like they always do
when somebody dies

And they offered me a seat
in the state senate.

Do you want to run?

Run?
It's a republican seat.

It's basically unopposed.

- You'd have to quit
the mayor's office.
- He'll understand.

You think I'm the first guy
sick of being in a flank?

I feel like I've been
asking you to do this
since I met you.

Well, I finally heard you.

It's a stepping stone
to state attorney general.

- And--
- and who knows what else?

Easy, partner.

This is what
I've wanted for you.

Us.

I can't wait
for people to meet you.

You know?
Really meet you.

Everyone's in bed.

Gene finally
climbed in with sally.

( sighs )

I felt better,
but now I don't.

- Why?
- Because who knows
what you're feeling?

I didn't know
what to say to her

Except, "I'd tell you
to ask your father,

But he's at the movies."

I should have said,
"he's just drunk."

You're better with them.

You don't understand.

I do.

You don't have marx,
you've got a bottle.

Is this what you really
want to be to them

When they need you?

No.

( sighs )

I don't think I ever
wanted to be the man
who loves children.

But from the moment
they're born...

That baby comes out

And you act proud
and excited

And hand out cigars...

But you don't
feel anything.

Especially if you had
a difficult childhood.

You want to love them,
but you don't.

And the fact
that you're...

Faking that feeling

Makes you wonder

If your own father
had the same problem.

Then one day
they get older...

And you see them
do something...

And you feel...

That feeling

That you were
pretending to have.

And it feels
like your heart
is going to explode.

That was faster
than I expected.

Are things calmer out there?

Well, then...

Have a good night.

Hey.

- You need to go to sleep.
- I can't.

So why can't you sleep?

I'm scared.

Don't make me
sorry for taking
you to the movies.

No.

I just keep thinking...

What if somebody
sh**t henry?

No one's gonna do that.

- But they could.
- But they won't.

Henry's not that important.

Go to sleep.

( sirens wailing )
