- [Woman Reading] I am the architect of my life.
I build its foundation with the qualities
of stability and resilience.
Today I am overflowing with energy and joy.
My body is healthy, and my mind is brilliant.
Happiness is a choice.
I base my happiness on my own accomplishments.
- Let me show you this. - Okay.
- [Woman In Blue] Do you wear a lot of makeup, every day?
- Not really. - No?
- No, we're going out later, so I just have,
if I do it early, then I don't have to bother later on.
- [Woman In Blue] What are you doing later?
- We're going out for dinner.
- Nice, you and your husband? - Yes, and another couple.
- [Woman In Blue] Are you out of eye liner?
Do you still have some?
- I really don't wear much eye liner.
- You know what you can do with an eye liner, too though,
if you want to soften it up a little bit,
you can add a little bit of eye shadow on top.
- Top, right.
- [Woman In Blue] I have a dog, too.
What's his name?
- I call him Jojo. - Jojo, that's cute.
Does he wear makeup?
- [Woman Customer] Most of the time,
do you just go from house to house?
- I do, yes. - Wow.
- I knock on doors.
- [Woman Customer] And are people receptive?
- Some, some people don't want anything to do with me.
- [Woman Customer] I really didn't want to let you in,
but I'm happy I did, now.
- There you go, but you see,
once I'm in here, you're discovering beautiful products
that you would have never had access to.
What does your husband do?
- He's a contractor.
They build gas stations, they maintain--
- Gas stations? - Gas stations, yeah.
- [Woman In Blue] Oh wow, I've never heard of anyone
who built a gas station.
- Me either, until I met him.
- I usually take the shadows and I apply it to the face
in a line, and that pretty much,
that's like really going all the way for me.
- That's a natural look, that's fine.
- Yeah. - It looks beautiful on you.
I see that's what you did today,
and it really looks beautiful.
- Oh, thanks.
- Do you do parties?
- Exactly, I was gonna tell you about those.
So yes, we have cocktail parties that we can do,
either at your place of work or here, but I mean,
this house is meant for parties.
Oh, who is that?
- [Woman Customer] Say hi to Sherry.
- [Sherry] Hi, Howie.
Hey, you.
Oh, hey, hold on.
I have something for you.
You want this?
Slow down, Jojo.
- [Man On TV] This is a hold up.
Put your hands behind your head and keep 'em there.
(indistinct talking on TV)
(movie music)
- [Woman On TV] You don't seem very sorry.
- [Second Woman On TV] I am, I'm sorry I was caught.
(rock music)
- [Sherry] Oh, fuck.
- What?
- I don't have my key.
I don't have my keys.
- Fuck, are you serious?
- No.
Oh, shit.
What are we gonna do?
You wanna go in the car?
- [Man] No, I don't.
I don't want to fuck in my car.
Oh, hey.
Here.
- [Sherry] Oh, you're a genius.
- Here, can you do it?
Here, I'll just-- - All right.
Ow, oh god.
(doorbell rings)
- Focus on what you do best.
(truck honks)
We know you could go on for hours
about how great your business is,
and we don't blame you.
You're amazing.
But since you need to keep it short and sweet...
So this red, you know the classic.
Yeah, this pink, too, is lovely.
I think you purchased this one last time, didn't you?
- [Brunette Customer] Did I?
- To you, too. Cheers.
Yum, I love this.
(indistinct conversation)
No, love this, it's not bad.
[Brunette Customer] Take another one.
So I hope you don't mind,
but what was your home life, growing up?
I mean, was it good for you? Do you have any--
- We had a lot of dysfunction, so you can see--
- A lot of dysfunction, so I'd ask you, if you don't mind.
- Well, my mother passed away when I was very young.
- Oh. - I'm sorry.
- It's okay. Yeah.
- How young?
- She was 40.
Yeah, pretty young right? - Sure.
- Yeah. - Oh, yeah.
Do you mind if I ask from what?
- She was sick, yeah, she was sick.
She had cancer, but, you know, my father raised us,
and he was, er, he was wonderful and, yeah.
But, er, yeah. My sister took very good care of me, too.
- Much older? - Yeah, she's older than me.
(indistinct talking on TV)
- Mm, I like your jacket.
- I've had this for a long time.
- That's nice. It suits you.
So what kind of work do you do?
- I operate my own sporting goods store.
- Oh really?
- It's the number one store in sporting good supplies,
two counties over.
- Oh, you must be very successful, then.
- [Blond Woman] How are you two doing tonight?
- We're fine, we're fine.
- You are such a handsome man.
I mean, look at him. (laughing)
- What's your name?
- Oh, well, it doesn't really matter, does it?
But, you know what?
I'm gonna tell you that some people call me Trish.
- Do you want anything else?
- I should be going.
It's past my bedtime.
- [Trish] Oh. (giggling)
You're funny on top of everything else.
- I'll walk you to your car.
- Pleasure to meet you, Trish.
- Likewise.
- Hey, come in.
You want a beer? - I'll take one.
- Make yourself at home.
- How long have you lived here?
- I don't know, on and off, I guess.
- You're so nice.
- Thank you.
- I don't often do this sort of thing.
- You don't enjoy kissing?
- No, I like kissing.
What's that over there?
- Oh, I sell makeup products.
- How long have you been doing that?
- A couple years now.
I like the personal interactions.
How did you get your store going?
- We, er,
bought an empty space
with the money we saved and,
we got a small business loan.
- [Sherry] Oh.
- We're looking to open up another store.
I don't
go home with a woman I just met,
especially at a bar.
- When do you go home with them?
- I don't.
- So I'm unique.
- I, I need to go to the bathroom.
- Okay, it's right--
(water running)
Is everything all right in there?
- I'll be out in a minute.
(toilet flushes)
I don't think I can do this.
I have a girlfriend.
- Oh, we don't have to fuck.
We can just kiss and get naked.
And I can blow you.
- I need to go, I'm sorry.
- We don't have to do anything.
We can just watch television.
- I'm sorry.
- Well, you're not much fun, are you?
(movie music)
- Share it for old time's sake.
Goodbye, my love.
(alarm buzzing)
- [Sherry Reading] Think success early in the morning.
Begin with the end in mind.
When you dress yourself for success,
whether you want your achievements to be
in career, love, marriage, or your rightful position
in society, then you've already taken
the first step up the ladder.
(doorbell rings)
- Hello.
- Peter, hi.
You're much bigger than I remember.
Oh, maybe you don't remember me.
I'm Sherry, I'm Abbie's sister.
- I remember you.
Abbie's in the kitchen.
- Okay, thank you. - You're welcome.
- Hi Abbie.
- Hey.
- Hey, look at all this food.
It looks amazing.
- You look great. - Thank you.
- [Abbie] You're early.
- Yeah, I had a couple of appointments that fell through.
I thought you wouldn't mind if I came early.
- It's no problem at all, just, unexpected.
I would've made some snacks.
- I don't need snacks, I'm fine. That's fine.
- Great.
- Can I do anything to help you? Chop stuff?
- No, I can't think of anything.
You know, yes, there's a concentrated juice pack
in the freezer, if you want to mix it with some water.
- I'm really good at that.
So how have you been?
- Oh, you know. I'm still at the Post Office.
I was promoted to regional manager.
- Regional manager? Abbie, that's amazing.
- Haven't seen you in a while, Sherry.
- Liz.
Oh, how are you?
- I'm fine, thank you. How are you?
- Good, good.
- Taste that. - Okay.
More salt and cream.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
- Peter is handsome.
He grew up nicely.
How long has he been living here?
- He moved in a few months ago.
- I thought I told you.
- It must have slipped my mind.
- [Liz] Do you want anything to drink?
- A glass of water would be, yeah, thank you.
Thank you. - Give me your jacket.
- Oh no, you don't have to do that.
- It's no problem.
- Okay.
- I'll put your jacket and purse in the hallway closet.
- Great, wonderful.
- Dinner is gonna be ready in about 20 minutes.
- That's great.
- If you want to see Alice, she's up in her bedroom.
(soft music)
- What are you doing?
- I'm, er, reading a book for class.
- I got you these gifts.
Don't I get a hug?
I'm sorry, it's been a while.
Your room looks really nice.
- We painted it a month ago.
- Who's we?
- Liz and I.
- I like this shade of blue.
It makes me feel at ease.
- We almost went with pink,
but it seemed too stereotypical for my age.
- I had a pink room when I was your age.
- That's what I was trying to avoid, cliche.
- So what types of classes are you taking?
- I'm in pre-Algebra
and American History and Literature.
- I could never remember dates and order of events.
- I enjoy history. I like to read.
- I thought you were better at math for some reason.
- I like math, too.
Do you like to play games?
- What kinda games?
- Card games, board games, computer games.
- I like card games, yeah.
- Let's play poker.
- You know how to play poker?
- Liz taught me.
- Well, I haven't played in ages, so.
- You can start.
- So are you seeing any boys?
- You're wondering if I'm dating anyone?
- Yeah, do you go on dates with boys?
- Abbie says I can't start dating until I'm 16.
How many cards do you want?
- I'll have
three.
- I know it's been a while since I've seen you,
but I'll call you mom if you want me to.
- We don't have to discuss these formalities right now.
Maybe we could just play cards for a while.
- Are you staying for dinner?
- Do you want me to?
- [Alice] I would like that.
- I'll stay.
- We forgot to bet.
- Oh.
That's all right.
- What do you have?
- I have three eights, a seven,
and this guy, what's his name?
- Jack. - Yeah, him.
I have him, what do you have?
- Don't look. - Show me.
Show me. - I have a straight.
- Aw!
Damn it.
You're good.
- Dinner's ready.
- I'll go wash my hands.
Can we start eating? - No.
Not until we say grace.
Okay, hands.
Bless us, oh Lord, for these, thy gifts
which we are about to receive.
In Christ's name we pray. Amen
- [Everyone] Amen.
- There you go.
- Thank you.
- Aren't you eating?
- I'll eat.
I was just waiting for everyone to be served.
Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
(crickets chirping)
We enjoyed having you over.
- [Sherry] I'd like to come by more often.
- I know Alice would like that.
- If it's possible,
I'd like to be a larger part of her life.
- [Abbie] You've said this before.
- I mean it.
- Have you been going to AA?
If you do want to be part of her life,
you have to start making a contribution,
really being there for her.
And you need to start putting down roots.
When was the last time I saw you?
When? A year ago?
And,
I don't even know where you're living anymore.
Are you even listening to me?
- Yeah, I'm listening, I just have something in my eye.
I think I got it.
I'm listening. I'm sorry.
- I need you to start helping out with money.
It's hard on Liz and me financially.
Peter's going away to college soon.
And it's not fair,
to me or Alice.
- [Sherry] Hey.
- Hey. Here you go.
- [Sherry] I'm starving.
- You haven't changed.
- No, I haven't been home yet.
When do you get off?
- In an hour, but it's pretty dead today.
- So stay a minute.
- I can stay a little while.
What do you think of the burger?
- It's a little dry, but it's fine.
- Yeah, french fries are soggy here, too.
- Maybe you should get a new cook.
- A good cook is hard to find.
Do you see that guy, over there, walking to his car?
Do you remember him?
He was our 11th grade chemistry teacher.
- Mm.
Mr. Williams.
- I just find it so weird
to see a teacher outside the context of school.
Like, they don't belong in the real world.
There's school and then there's normal life.
- Well, we're not in school anymore.
- I know, I just find it kinda sad.
They're normal people, just like us, but no purpose.
- I'm sure Mr. Williams has a purpose.
He probably has a family of some sort.
- Comes in here quite often alone.
Maybe I saw him with a woman once,
but it didn't seem like a wife or date or anything.
More like a sister.
- Well, maybe he has a hobby or something,
like fishing or sailing or
something middle-aged people do.
- I hope that doesn't happen to us.
- It won't.
- Yeah? How do you know?
- Well,
I was thinking the other day,
we could open up our own salon.
Maybe make a little money.
- What are you talking about?
- I just thought we could do something more substantial.
You could do hair, manage the place, potentially.
- A beauty salon. - Yeah.
It would be a beauty salon.
- You done with this? - Mm-hmm.
- I like the idea, but where would we get the money?
I don't have enough clients to support a business yet,
and you're not the most reliable person.
- That's not true.
I'm getting better.
I'm going to my meetings more.
I'm trying to bring Alice back into my life.
We'll figure it out as we go along.
- This isn't just some crazy fantasy of yours?
- This is the real thing.
I'm thinking more and more about my future these days.
- Yeah? How's that?
- I'm thinking about
my actions and opportunities.
I'm laying the groundwork to prepare myself
for success and happiness--
- That is nonsense. - I'm serious.
Very serious. - All right.
Well, I'll believe it when I see it.
- Um, nice seeing you again.
Good, I've been going here for four years now,
and, um, it helps, you know.
- Yeah.
- [Man] So, you're really welcome. Let me know.
- Cool.
- [Man] All right. I'll see you in there?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- Be right there.
- Okay. Good seeing you.
All right, see you soon.
- See ya. - All right.
(wretching)
- Want some help?
- [Trish] No, I'll be fine.
Just mind your own business.
(coughing)
- I'm sorry, I'm just trying to do a decent thing here
and help you out.
- Oh my god, just fuck off.
(wretching)
(toilet flushes)
- [Bartender] Do you want anything?
- I'll have a whiskey on the rocks, please.
Are you alone?
Are you a little shy?
What are you drinking?
You know, you didn't have to do that.
- [Man] Unlock the door?
Come here.
- Hey, what do you want from me?
Get off me.
- You shouldn't smoke in here.
I don't want you to get kicked out.
- I can read. I see the sign.
If you're so worried.
Ow. (laughing)
Now we have nothing to worry about, see?
Can I ask you a question?
Who were you waiting for, at the bar earlier?
- My wife.
I'm separated.
- How long have you been separated?
- Six months.
I guess some things aren't meant to be.
- I saw a movie on TV recently.
It's called Starting Over,
with that girl from Murphy Brown.
- Candace Bergen? - Yeah.
Candace Bergen.
She's not the lead in it, though.
It mainly centers around Burt Reynolds.
And he leaves his wife 'cause she's been cheating on him,
and he moves from New York to Boston to start a new life.
And he meets this girl there.
She may not be as pretty as Candace Bergen,
but she's
she's reliable and sweet.
- Is there a lesson in this for me?
- I thought you'd like to see the movie.
You might find something relatable in it.
Like what life is like for adults after marriage.
It's pretty funny, too.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Am I gonna see you again?
- I left my number on the table.
Give me a call.
- Goodbye.
- [Sherry Reading] There must be something
that you want in life more than anything else.
As a door-to-door makeup saleswoman,
I will not settle for less than I deserve.
I will continue to seek myself.
My place is at the top.
Hello?
Is anyone in here?
- Oh, hello. - Hi.
- [Woman] Were you interested in the space?
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to just barge in.
- No, that's quite all right.
You just missed the owner.
I'm leaving in just a few minutes,
but if you have any questions,
I'd be happy to answer them for you.
- That would be lovely.
Well, obviously it needs a little bit of paint, but--
- Yeah, it needs some work, but then, don't we all?
I think it has great potential.
- The carpet, also, is a little much.
But you can remove that easily, right?
- [Woman] Carpet is always replaceable, absolutely.
- I think it might be perfect for what I'm looking for,
actually.
- What kind of business are you in,
if you don't mind my asking?
- It's a beauty salon.
- Oh, well there you go.
I think this would be perfect for a salon.
- I'm a makeup artist.
- Are you, really? Well, that's wonderful.
Listen, if you're serious about--
- I am serious.
- [Woman] Give me a call.
- Susan, I will call you tomorrow.
- Very good, and what's your name?
- Sherry Graham.
- [Susan] Sherry Graham, very nice to meet you, Sherry.
- You too, Susan, nice to meet you.
- [Recording] You've reached Abbie and Liz.
Please leave a detailed message after the beep.
(beeping)
- Hi Abbie.
So I thought a lot about what you said,
about money and contributing financially to Alice's life.
And I have a plan.
I didn't have a chance to tell you.
I'm going to open up my own salon.
I have an appointment already scheduled
with a bank loan manager.
So everything will be fine.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Wish me luck.
Lay the groundwork.
Prepare yourself for success
and happiness.
Success and happiness.
- Hello, hi there, Alan Gilmore.
- [Sherry] It's so nice to meet you, Mr. Gilmore.
- A pleasure to meet you, as well.
Please, take a seat.
- Thank you for seeing me today.
- Sure, absolutely.
- You have a lovely office.
(laughing)
- Thank you.
The branch I just transferred in from
was a nicer office, but that's very kind of you.
- And that, did you make that?
- No, no, it was here.
Everything was here, when I came.
Anyway, can I get you a bottle of water?
- If it's not too much trouble.
- No, not at all.
You want sparkling or still?
- Still.
- All right. - Thank you.
- There you are.
So how can I, er, how can I help you today?
- I am inquiring about a business loan.
- Okay, what kind of business?
- Well, my friend and I, we have this
idea to open up our own salon, a beauty salon.
- That sounds good. Do you have a business plan?
- I'm still working on that one.
It's coming along, though.
- [Alan] Okay, so today you don't have the business plan.
Did you bring a bank statement?
Do you have any of the paperwork
that you needed to fill out?
- Mm-hmm.
I have the forms here,
filled out.
- All right.
This is a bank statement.
Oh, it's just, it's just this?
- Yeah, it's all there.
- Oh.
(sighs)
- This is your overall income from last year?
- Yeah, well,
it was, um,
it was um,
a tough year for me.
- You can't,
you can't smoke in here.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- That's fine.
- I'm sorry.
- It's the rules. - Yeah, I just didn't know.
- That's okay. - There was a rule.
- Well, I, I'm not sure what's,
how the bank can be of service to you.
- Well, you've barely heard me out.
It's a really good idea.
- [Alan] Well, it might be a very good idea,
but you don't have a business plan,
and the numbers here don't qualify for a loan.
I'm not sure what you were expecting.
The bank has guidelines and requirements for business loans.
There's a pamphlet you should take a look at.
- I'm just getting started,
and,
you don't even know how much I'm asking for.
- Well, I'm sorry, ma'am--
- I'm asking for $250,000.
- Okay, if you're serious about a loan of that size,
you need to come prepared.
- [Sherry] I'm serious.
- Okay, so if you're serious about a loan of that size,
you need to provide the bank with fiscal statements
and other documentation in order to get a loan.
I'm, I'm sorry that you had some sort of misunderstanding
about this meeting, but, it's not going to work.
- [Sherry Reading] Don't get lost in reckless emotions
during moments of trial.
Learn to lift yourself up and harness positive energy.
Go to work with a smile on your face.
- [Sherry] I was wondering if I could introduce you
to our beauty line.
It would only take two minutes of your time today.
- Well, it's really not a great time.
I'm under construction. I'm--
- [Sherry] You're under construction?
Renovations? Oh, wow.
And we have a beautiful line here
that I would love to introduce you to.
And we have wonderful specials this season, as well.
If you have two minutes--
Oh, fuck.
(sighs)
Because you can read about these tips in magazines,
but they're never right for everyone, right?
That's what's great about having a consultant come to you.
Perfect.
Let me show you.
So, I've only done the right side,
so you can see the difference.
- [Woman] Mm-hmm.
- So your skin is just a little more matte.
- Mm-hmm. - Perfect.
So should we start off with that, those three?
- Well, what, how much does it cost?
How much is each?
- This foundation is $15.
The nail polish is $12.
And the lipstick is 20.
- Oh.
Maybe I'll just take the catalog and...
- Okay. All right.
I still want to leave you those samples, though.
- Okay, well thank you. - All right?
How about the lipstick?
If I, usually it's 15.
I said 20 right now, I'm sorry, it's 20.
Since it's your very first lipstick,
I could let it go for $15.
What do you think?
- [Woman] Um--
- It does look beautiful on you.
- Thank you, but um--
- You want to think about it.
I can sense it, that's okay.
- Uh, four letters, Blair or Danza.
- Tony. - Tony, yeah.
- Tony.
Blank Maria, three letters.
- Oh, well the chicken looks done.
- Ooh.
- Ted, will you get ready for dinner?
- [Ted] Yes.
- Hey, hey.
We are talking about turning the office into a bedroom,
and I want you to think about moving in.
- Uh,
I just, I've had trouble moving in with friends in the past.
- Come on, is there anything bad about you
I don't already know?
And it would be so much better for you
than that shit motel.
- I will reflect upon the offer.
Thank you so much.
- [Ted] We need more toilet paper.
- [Blond Woman] Okay, watch out, hot, coming through.
- Ooh, that looks delicious.
Beer?
- [Sherry] Yes.
(phone ringing)
- [Ted] That's you.
- Hello?
Oh hi, I didn't recognize the number.
I'm having dinner now, but I could meet you in an hour.
Okay, yeah I'll meet you there around 10:00.
Bye.
- Who was that?
- [Sherry] A new friend.
- Oh? - Ooh.
- Will you be staying?
- Well, maybe I'll grab something quickly
and go join him, if that's okay?
- Yeah, yeah of course.
- [Sherry] Can I borrow a shirt?
- Yes, go in my room. There's some in the dresser.
(tapping) (gasps)
- [Sherry] You scared the shit outta me.
- Didn't you hear me pull up?
- [Sherry] No, I didn't see anybody.
- I parked right there.
Should I get in?
- [Sherry] I thought we were going somewhere.
- In a minute.
Aren't you gonna join me?
- [Sherry] Shit.
Ow, ow.
I feel like I'm in high school.
- [Man] That's not good.
- We could just go to my place.
- [Man] This is better, trust me.
Come closer.
You have soft lips.
You okay?
- Yeah. This is nice.
I have a funny feeling about you.
- [Man] We don't have to have sex.
- I know.
I know, well, I'm very much open to having sex.
Tell me something about yourself.
- [Man] What?
- Where were you born?
- I was born in Los Angeles.
I came out here to, er, go to college.
- What did you study?
- [Man] Music.
- Do you play any?
- [Man] I used to play guitar and piano.
- And why don't you play anymore?
- [Man] That's a lot of questions.
- I'm sorry.
I'm just curious.
- [Man] I learned quickly that, um,
being a musician was not economically feasible.
- Mm.
So what did you end up doing instead?
- [Man] I went back to school.
I got a degree in engineering.
- How long did your marriage last?
- Five years.
- Did you have any kids?
- [Man] No, we tried.
- Well, what happened?
- [Man] Okay, I'm done with the question game.
Let's go. (grunts)
I'll drive.
- [Sherry] Oh, I fucking hate you.
- [Man] I fucking hate me, too.
- Can we just be friends?
- [Man] If that's what you want.
- No.
I don't know. What am I doing?
- [Man] Stop thinking.
- [Sherry] Just do one thing, okay?
- What's that?
- Whatever happens,
be nice to me.
Hey, come here.
Come here, I got something for you.
Come here. Jojo.
You want this?
(recorder beeps)
- [Abbie] Hi, it's Abbie.
I got your message.
Sorry it's taken me a week to call you back.
It's been crazy at home.
Well, I hope all is going well with the salon idea,
but I don't think you've taken our talk
about finances seriously.
It just seems like another one of your schemes
that never pans out.
Sometimes I feel like you'll never face reality
and grow up.
When I took in Alice,
I thought you would get your life on track,
but now it's been 10 years,
and you just seem stuck in the same place.
You need to think long and hard
about the choices you're making,
and the kind of person you want to be.
I know Alice misses you, and I love you,
despite everything.
Let me think about it, and maybe we can work out a plan.
You really need to step up and contribute money--
- [Blond Woman] Where are my clips?
- I have a feeling about tonight.
- [Blond Woman] Oh yeah? Did you read today's horoscope?
- [Sherry] What does it say?
- Hold on, hold on.
I always forget you're a Taurus.
- I have settling instincts.
- [Blond Woman] Girl, you are so flighty.
- Danny, what does it say?
- All right, the new moon will bring you
unexpected and exciting encounters.
Be open to new possibilities.
Ooh, you will meet the man of your dreams tonight.
- Does it say that?
- [Danny] Oh, god damn it.
Oh, this shit's so expensive, too.
Do not read that.
- Please burn it.
All right?
- [Danny] That's a good idea.
My horoscope did say to take up a new hobby.
(indistinct conversation)
- [Ted] More birthday drinks.
- Oh, god, what took you so long?
- [Ted] I ran into a friend from work.
- What's his name?
- Paul.
- I could date a Paul.
- His wife just gave birth.
He's out having a drink to celebrate.
- Shouldn't he be at home with his wife and newborn child?
- Mm-mm, she's still in the hospital.
- That doesn't make any sense.
He should be by her bedside.
- She's asleep.
- It doesn't matter.
She just gave birth.
- She told him to go out and get a drink and celebrate.
- Well honey, I don't care what she told him,
he shouldn't be doing that.
Having a beer with his buddies.
- Okay, is there something that I should know about?
Is this--
- He should be with the wife he loves
because love is about being there for each other,
not having drinks with some dudes in a bar.
- [Ted] Interesting.
- Hey, hey, hey, where you going?
- [Sherry] Bathroom.
- Hold on.
You just think on that.
- I know we haven't talked about this in a while, but
I really think this is the one.
- What are you talking about?
- The space for the salon.
- Are you joking?
- No.
Listen to me, okay, listen to me.
It's not very big and it might cost
a little more than we planned.
But I really think it could work out.
- I don't know how I feel about this.
- Well, be excited or something.
- Oh, hold on, you got an eyelash by your nose.
- Where? - Right here.
- I'm not in the mood for wishes.
- Can we, like, sit down and really talk about this?
Like the money situation? Where it's coming from?
I don't have any money. Ted doesn't have any.
And you certainly don't.
- I'm working on it.
- Okay, what does that mean?
- It means I'm looking into getting a loan.
- A loan, do you even know what that entails?
- I'm figuring it out.
- Okay, hon, but you know a bank
isn't just gonna give you money.
There's like a whole process you have to go through.
- I know, I know.
Don't get all crazy now.
- Well, let's just, you know,
talk about it before you do anything drastic.
- We're talking about it now.
- I know, but I want to sit down in daylight
and really discuss it.
- [Sherry] I'll get you something. What do you want?
- Oh, grab Ted and I a couple of beers, will you?
Oh, I don't have any cash now.
- I'll get it.
- Hey. - Hey.
- What's up Sherry? Whiskey sour again?
- Yeah, same old.
And two beers for Ted and Danny.
- You'll all here?
- Yeah, Danny's birthday.
- Yeah?
Wish her well for me.
It's on the house.
- You don't have to do that.
- [Bartender] It's no problem.
- You know what, you're too nice.
You're too nice.
Can you add a bit more whiskey?
It's sweet, it's too sweet for me.
- Yeah, whatever you say.
- Her?
- Hi Sherry.
- I didn't know you were here.
- Fuck you!
Fuck.
I'm leaving.
- Hey, is everything okay?
- I don't feel well.
- Well, hold on. I'll go with you.
- No, I don't want to ruin your night.
- It's no big deal.
- Here, have another round on me.
I'll call you tomorrow.
(dog whines)
- It'll be over in a minute.
(indistinct TV voices)
- She said he had him so scared,
he was even making with the wedding talk,
just to keep her quiet.
- [Sherry Reading] Never allow yourself
to be sad or disappointed.
Remain steady and undaunted, no matter what happens,
and you will not fail.
And seen and unseen forces will reward you
with ever-increasing success and prosperity.
- Hello, Mr. Gilmore.
Hello, Mr. Gilmore.
(indistinct yelling)
- [Masked Man] You,
where's your car?
Where's your car!
- It's right there.
Get your hands off me! - Show me!
Show me your car!
Go to the car. Open the car.
- I'm ordering you!
- [Masked Man] Stop yelling. Open the car.
Open it!
- Can't you see I'm trying?
- [Masked Man] Quickly.
Get in there. - Ow!
- Get in the car. - God.
- [Masked Man] Drive!
(coughing)
- Listen, I don't know what you want from me,
but if you want me to drop you off somewhere,
I could do that.
And,
and then I'll leave.
And I won't tell anybody.
- Just keep driving.
(coughing)
Pull over here.
(coughing)
- Can you get me something?
- Are you fucking with me?
- I just want some water, come on.
- You're putting these on.
- Aw, come on, that's not necessary.
Aw, don't do that.
- Make sure you don't try anything.
- What do you want me to do?
I mean you, I'm stuck.
You've taken everything I have.
I can't go anywhere.
- Here's your water.
What are you, crazy lady?
- Yeah, the door jams sometimes.
Now hand over the gun.
- I'm not giving you my gun.
(gun fires)
- Sheez, what are you fucking crazy?
There's people around.
Okay, take the gun and drive.
Take the gun.
- Put these on.
- [Man] For god's sake.
- Where's the key?
- It's in my pocket.
- Which one?
- The breast pocket.
(wheezing)
- Are you okay? - Just drive.
- You don't look so good.
- Just leave me alone.
(coughing)
- [Sherry] Where are the keys to the house?
- They're under the flower pot.
- [Sherry] Get 'em.
Show me around.
- This isn't an open house.
- Just show me all the rooms,
and then I'll let you go.
- This is the living room.
- You don't have a television.
- I don't care for it, frankly.
- I don't know what I'd do without a television.
Do you like old movies?
- I don't know, I guess so.
- I like to watch old movies.
There's a,
a romantic magic about them.
- This is the kitchen.
It's kind of sparse, but it's fine.
I grill, mostly.
- It's a nice size for a kitchen.
- This room has been empty for a while.
My son lives with his mom.
- Can I see a picture?
- His name's Ricky.
Do you have any children?
- Where's the bedroom?
- Down the hall.
- Show me.
- [Man] Mind taking these handcuffs off already?
You got a gun pointed at me, for god's sake.
- Sit down on the bed.
- [Man] I'm not doing too well.
- Yeah, what's wrong with you?
- My kidneys.
You see that machine?
I have to hook myself up to that
or I'm gonna be doing a lot worse.
- [Sherry] How does it work?
- [Man] The belt with the tube in it
has to go around me.
Tube connects to my stomach.
- Here.
Let me help you.
- [Man] Be gentle.
- [Sherry] You need to relax now.
- This is gonna take all night.
- I want to watch you.
Have you ever fucked on one of these machines before?
- Why would you even ask that?
That would be nuts.
- I want to fuck you.
- Are you kidding?
- I'll get ya hard, don't worry.
- [Man] I barely have enough energy to stay awake right now.
- Come on, let's just try.
- You are nuts.
- Don't say that.
- You seriously-- - Don't say that.
Just be quiet.
Well, I guess this'll have to do.
How do you feel?
- Not very comfortable, obviously.
- See,
it's not that bad, is it?
Are you all right?
You know what?
I don't even know your name.
- [Man] My name is Norman.
- Norman.
That's a good name.
I'm Sherry, by the way.
- Sherry, would you mind me asking
what you were doing with a gun today?
You don't strike me as the kind of person
who would carry around a gun.
- Well, I wasn't planning on holding up a bank
or anything like that.
I don't know what I was thinking.
- [Norman] You think maybe you could put the gun down now?
- Oh, yeah, of course.
This is me putting down the gun.
- Would you mind helping me
change the quilt?
There's another one in the closet in the hallway.

- [Sherry Reading] Here is the fundamental rule of success,
the key to the mystery of it all.
Focus your creative powers, mind, body, and resources
on the business at hand.
Becoming wealthy has nothing to do with your hard work,
but has everything to do with being at the right place
at the right time.
Self reliance, positivity, and optimism
will elevate your position in life.
When you start achieving your goals,
the universe will open itself up to you.
If you haven't had luck in life,
then you have to create the impression of success.
It is often to your advantage to be underestimated.
