Months, four at the most. Yeah, well, you haven't paid

"Dear Mr. Ken gaudette, I just"
"dear Mr. Ken gaudette, I just thought I would write and send"
thought I would write and send my thanks to you for the nice
things you said in your note, in
which you included in your
"which you included in your daughter's note..."
ever hear of grammar?
Ever hear of grammar? "I'm grateful for you saying."
"I'm grateful for you saying that since some people feel that"
that since some people feel that a person like me that they do
not know the... the background
"not know the... the background of is beyond the pale."
Of is beyond the pale." What?
This doesn't make sense.
She capitalized "beyond the"
she capitalized "beyond the pale."
Pale." Isn't that... that means,
isn't that... that means, like, the other side of the
tracks.
Tracks. Ah, ah.
"I was born in ames, but my."
"I was born in ames, but my mother and my brother and me"
mother and my brother and me moved to twin view heights when
"moved to twin view heights when I was a girl."
No.
Blah, blah.
Pbht.
"Then I cared for Mrs. willits."
Blah, blah.
"I'm afraid I've bored you long.
Enough." You can say that again.
No kidding.
"Thank you for your good"
"thank you for your good opinion and for taking me to the"
opinion and for taking me to the restaurant.
Restaurant. It was a pleasure to be
it was a pleasure to be included.
"Included. Your friend, johanna parry."
Say something about her
say something about her beautiful hair.
Beautiful hair. This has to be realistic.
"I was so happy to see that you."
"I was so happy to see that you underlined 'your friend.'"
underlined 'your friend.' Someone like me, with a
someone like me, with a checkered past, could use all
the friends he can get.
The friends he can get. Sometimes I think, 'who is my
sometimes I think, 'who is my friend?'
"friend?' Then comes your letter."
That's boring.
Well, we can't just
well, we can't just immediately write that he wants
to suck her titties.
To suck her titties. Okay, how about you say
okay, how about you say something like, "you should wear"
something like, "you should wear your hair back more often so the"
your hair back more often so the world can see your pretty face"?
World can see your pretty face"? How about that?
That's good.
Yeah.
Stevie!
"P.S., let's continue this"

Correspondence through e-mail. It's much faster.
My address is

"Kengaudette12step@hotmail. Com. And we'll save money on stamps."
Why did you have to put the

Why are you staring at me?
Oh, I'm not... I don't mean
oh, I'm not... I don't mean to.
To. Why are you even in here?
Came to...
came to... yeah. Okay.
Yeah. Okay. We were just kissing, okay?
Normal people do that.
That was my wife's furniture.
My wife gave it to my daughter
my wife gave it to my daughter when she and Ken first got
married.
Married. After his poor judgment killed
after his poor judgment killed my daughter, I... I took that
furniture back.
Furniture back. There's no reason for him to
there's no reason for him to have it.
Have it. Why should he?
It just sits out here.
It seems like a waste.
Maybe he could use it in his
maybe he could use it in his hotel lobby.
Hotel lobby. He couldn't run a one-pump
he couldn't run a one-pump gas station.
That one doesn't work.
When will you be finished? Well, you have to sign up.
First name.
Click the mouse for the last.
And then your password.
My own word?
Your own word.
We're staying near the white house.
White house. Mm. Is that boy going?
His name's Stevie, and, no,
his name's Stevie, and, no, he's not going.
He's not going. He went last year, so you don't
he went last year, so you don't have to worry.
Have to worry. Oh, okay, I won't worry.
Sabitha, is that thing
sabitha, is that thing surgically attached to your
hand?
Hand? Thank you, johanna.
Put that away.
Come back. The ad says 10:00 to 3:00.
You don't have to get there
you don't have to get there exactly at 10:00.
Exactly at 10:00. If I want the job, I do.
And you're gonna breathe paint fumes all day?
Paint fumes all day?
That only pays like $8 an hour.
Well, it's better than
well, it's better than sitting around watching TV all
day.
Day. My brother manages a huge
my brother manages a huge food warehouse.
Food warehouse. They're always hiring
they're always hiring forklifters, and they pay them
like 20 bucks an hour.
Like 20 bucks an hour. I don't know how to drive a.
Forklift.
Ah.
He'll be back in three weeks.
You'll make a lot more money.
He isn't gonna hire me.
Yeah.
I'll tell him to.
I got to check this out
first.
First. Just let yourself out when
just let yourself out when you're ready.
You're ready. You have the 30 bucks you owe
you have the 30 bucks you owe me for dinner last night?
Me for dinner last night? That's not even including the
that's not even including the blow.
Blow. "I'm sitting here drinking a."
"I'm sitting here drinking a glass of chardonnay, wishing I"
glass of chardonnay, wishing I could hold you tight in my
"could hold you tight in my arms."
Arms." In reality, he's probably
in reality, he's probably sitting in his underwear
somewhere, drinking warm beer.
Somewhere, drinking warm beer.
"I must say goodbye."
"I must say goodbye. And the only way I can do it is"
and the only way I can do it is to imagine you reading this in
your nightgown, thinking about
"your nightgown, thinking about me, as you drift off to sleep."
Me, as you drift off to sleep."
Come on, grandpa! We're going to be late!
Hi.
I came to get my black
sweater.
Sweater. I texted you like five times.
You... you told me I could
you... you told me I could borrow it.
Borrow it. I'm sure your grandfather can
buy you one.
Why'd you tell Melissa and Jessica that I couldn't afford
to go to D.C.?
To go to D.C.? You told me you couldn't
you told me you couldn't afford it.
Afford it. I didn't mean for you to tell
everyone.
Everyone. That's the bitchiest thing
that's the bitchiest thing you've ever done to me.
You've ever done to me. God, I didn't know it was
some big secret.
Some big secret. If I would have known, I
if I would have known, I wouldn't have said...
if you weren't so stupid and
selfish, you'd understand that I
don't want the whole school
knowing.
Knowing. Look, Edith, no one at school
look, Edith, no one at school cares.
Cares.
You're so evil.
Are you kidding?
She loves this.
Actually, it's pretty mean.
"You're beautiful..."
Mm.
Hello. May I help you?
Yes, I would like to try on
yes, I would like to try on the suit in the window, the
shiny one.
Shiny one. Oh, that's a lovely suit.
Yes.
Oh, it's so expensive.
Well, it's very fine silk.
It's Italian.
Hmm. Mm-hmm. Well, of course you'll need your
well, of course you'll need your nylons and your heels and some
lipstick, but with some
tailoring, it might work.
Tailoring, it might work. How does it feel?
Is it comfortable?
The suit feels fine.
There's nothing the matter with
there's nothing the matter with the suit.
The suit. Sometimes that's just the way
sometimes that's just the way it is.
It is. You never know till you try
you never know till you try something on.
Something on. Hold on.
Why don't you slip into this, just for the heck of it?
Come out here and look at it in the big mirror.
Well, I better take it off so you can wrap it up.
You can wrap it up. Wonderful.
It's probably what I'm gonna
it's probably what I'm gonna be married in.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
You know what why I got you a red car?
A red car? Because red cars get the most
because red cars get the most tickets.
Tickets. So, if you get any tickets, you
so, if you get any tickets, you have to pay for it yourself.
Have to pay for it yourself. I won't be getting any
tickets.
Tickets. Hi, johanna.
Oh, hi.
I'll start dinner right away.
I got this for my dad for
Christmas.
Oh, that's nice.
I got this one for Edith.
She really wanted one.
Are you wearing makeup?
Oh, you look nice, johanna.
Oh, it's just...
No. Here.
Here. Try this.
It's more natural. Thank you.
Edith.
I got this for you.
Thanks.
(SIGHS)
I talked to Jessica and
Melissa.
Neither one of them said
neither one of them said anything about why you didn't go
on the trip.
On the trip. They're not like that.
Julie and Marie didn't go 'cause
their parents couldn't pay.
Their parents couldn't pay. Are you gonna talk about this
are you gonna talk about this all day?
All day? I won't. Sorry.
Stop bragging about your car.
It's kind of nauseating.
I wasn't bragging.
Justin asked me about it, and I
answered.
Answered. What about the pictures on
what about the pictures on Facebook?
That's bragging.
If you got a car, you'd be
if you got a car, you'd be doing the same thing.
So, there's a table, six chairs, a bed, dresser, sofa,
coffee table, end tables,

There's no kitchen stuff. Um, it's just, um, one bedroom.
It's only going to Chicago.
All right, uh...
Well, if this is it, you're
well, if this is it, you're probably looking at...
Probably looking at... $2,300, $2,500.
Seems like a lot.
When's the last time you had
when's the last time you had a bunch of furniture moved?
A bunch of furniture moved? You have somebody in Chicago

it when it gets there?
It when it gets there? Mm-hmm.
Okay, we'll have my guys here
okay, we'll have my guys here first thing Monday morning.
First thing Monday morning. After 9:00.
They can't be here before 9:00.

A bill for this. I'd rather pay now.

That's fine. That's good.
Hello?
Oh, you're awake.
What are you doing here? Didn't you get my e-mail?
I-I don't have e-mail.
I sent you e-mails.
I-I don't even have a computer.
Just so you know, I've been sick.
Sick. That's why this place isn't so
that's why this place isn't so clean.
Clean. This stove hasn't been
this stove hasn't been cleaned in years.
Cleaned in years.

This morning. Everything looks good.
Thank you.
