You know how I was telling you about my brother
selling his half of mom's land in Texas?
Well, now that you're getting married and you have all these nice things...
we were thinking that maybe we could borrow the money to buy it.
So, the only reason why you're being nice to David is because you want his money?
No, it's not the only reason. I'm also just a nice person.
- You are a nice person. - Thank you.
We wouldn't ask if it wasn't urgent, honey.
How much?
- No, let's not get... - About a million.
A million dollars.
- A little under. - A little under.
Well, if uncle Jim's land is worth that much than yours is too.
Well, I don't know, I've never had it appraised. I-I-I...
My father taught me, you never sell land.
- Good advice. - Right.
Grandma Smith died when I was eleven.
Have you been sitting on a million dollars since I was eleven?
No, no. It appreciates over time. It escalates.
You knew about this?
Do you realize what we could have done with that money?
I don't want my kids raised on a goddamn handout.
What the hell?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Nice, Rose.
Hey, Mountain Goat.
Don't ever call me that again.
- Jeannette. - David, please.
Come on. I know you're upset, but let's just go back and talk about this. Come on.
Dad, why do you think all of us ran away from you?
We were drowning.
I still don't understand why you followed us here.
We wanted to be a family again.
We were never a family, mom. We were a nightmare.
Your mom and I did everything we could for you, okay?
- We looked after you... - Bullshit!
- ...a happy family. - Bullshit! We did it!
We took care of each other because you were too drunk to.
It was your job to protect us and you didn't even try.
That ain't true, okay?
- You got some kind... - It is true.
...history going on. You were a... - Dad! - ...kid.
- Stop... - And they were happy kids.
And we looked after you! And...
Stop talking!
Talking is not trying!
You talked my whole goddamn life!
I believed you.
- Come on. - Don't.
- Hey, don't, don't do this.
I don't want you in my life.
- Jeannette, you ... - I don't want you to call,
or write, or show up out of the blue.
I don't want another one of your bullshit stories.
I don't want to see you anymore.
