Divorce (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript
You have no idea what it's like

Robert!
(CLACKS)
Oh, yeah. Ooh, hey!
Hi, honey. Hi. Hey.
- What are you doing?
- Huh?
What are you doing?
I'm...
that old raccoon is back.
And he woke me up scurrying around
all willy-nilly up on the roof,
so I was just...
just trying to scare him off gently.
What raccoon?
You know, that same old rascal.
- What rascal?
- You wanted to keep him.
- You said, "Oh, Mom, he's so cute."
- What?
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
(WATER RUNNING)
(KNOCKS)
- Robert.
- (WATER STOPS)
Robert.
We need to talk.
Hello?
Robert?
What if I had been in here shitting?
You never take a...
you never do that in the morning.
I said what if.
- We need to talk.
- Do we?
- We do.
- I don't.
Well, then can you just listen?
Fine, but not here. On the porch.
I do not want to alarm the children.
Oh.
You're not really doing
this again, are you?
I'm listening. Three, two, one, go.
- Why are you doing this?
- Because at this particular time,
this is how I'm comfortable
communicating with you.
- Through a door.
- You're not being fair.
Frances, more quietly, please.
I made an awful mistake.
Not just one. A series of awful,
terrible mistakes.
Starting with
whatever that was with what's his name.
Julian.
Your lover's name is Julian.
Yes, him. And anyway, forget all that.
I want to be with you. You are my husband.
We're a family.
We can fix this.
I'm having trouble hearing
you through this door.
I picked up something about Julian,
but the rest of it was just muffled
to the point of incomprehensibility.
Sorry.
Oh, hey, kids. (KNOCKS)
Come on, I'm out here waiting. Come on.
And then I didn't want to wake you guys up,
so I just decided to
spend the night at Dallas'.
That's not what Dad said.
Really? What... what did Dad say?
Lila, what... what did Dad say?
He said you were at
Dallas' house tying one on
and you didn't come home because
it's not good to drive drunk.
That... that... that
is definitely true, yes.
Yes, and I'm not proud of my behavior,
but at least I didn't make
a bad thing worse, right?
And that's something that... whoo!
That is something
we can all learn from, right?
- Right?
- (CHILDREN LAUGH)
You don't drink and drive, folks.
- Yes, Antonio?
- Yeah.
That's a lesson for every
single person on this bus.
Okay, love you both.
Ooh.
Bye, sweetie. Bye.
Bye, Tom.
Shit.
Oh.
- (DOORBELL RINGS)
- (CAR STARTS)
- Robert!
- (TIRES SQUEAL)
(HONKS HORN)
Shit.
(DOORBELL RINGS)
And, of course, my cell
phone is in my purse
and my purse is inside the house
and my keys to the house
are inside my purse.
And, you know, he didn't
know that, of course,
- or he would never have locked the door.
- It's fine.
- It's fine. There you go.
- Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
Oh, what a lovely old phone.
Okay. I'll be super quick, okay?
- Take your time.
- Okay, thank you for the last time.
Robert DuFresne speaking.
I thought we were gonna talk?
Who is this, please?
Oh, one second. Hey, Craig.
We're gonna want to tack down that
insulation before we hang the drywall.
Guillermo, somebody carelessly
left that snow shovel
laying over there, okay?
Anyway, as you were saying?
Come on, Robert, all of
my stuff is in the house.
Oh, it's you, Frances.
Huh, well, I packed
your essentials for you.
You packed a mini suitcase
and a grocery bag full of bras.
You're welcome. Hey, Sebastian, Gabriel.
You guys might want to use a 3/4-inch
socket. It'll do the trick. Mm-hmm.
I know you're angry and you
have every right to be angry,
but can't we please just
talk about this like adults?
Wait, hang on one second. What was that?
(LAUGHS) You're kidding me.
- I knew that son of a bitch...
- I'm gonna freakin' kill you.
(ROBERT LAUGHING)
Okay, go ahead.
I want to have
a conversation with you.
I don't know. I mean, there's really...
there's a lot of shit going on over here.
- (DRILL BUZZES)
- I mean, as you can hear...
- Okay, well, then...
- ...heavy construction happening.
Can you just tell me how
to get back into the house?
And that would be towards what end?
Why are you being a complete
fucking asshole about this?
You'll find your purse
out back in the garbage.
There may or may not be
a banana peel involved.
Robert. Robert, I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry I just called
you a complete fucking asshole,
but I just...
Robert?
Robert, hello?
Hel...
Fucking asshole.
Oh, hello.
It was a bad connection.
You know, and it's so frustrating.
Just like, "Ah, fuck."
It's okay.
Thank you for letting me use the phone.
It's fine.
So I'm just gonna get out of your hair.
Give you your morning back.
And, oh, I'm so sorry that we haven't
had you over since you moved in.
Um, but welcome to the neighborhood.
Ugh.
(PHONE CHIMING)
Ugh.
- Hello?
- Frances, hi. It's Carla Menotti.
Where are you? I thought we
were meeting at the space.
Oh, Christ, Carla.
I totally forgot. I'm so sorry.
Um, listen, some...
- some things came up, so...
- So nothing.
This space is exactly what
you've been looking for
and they've got someone ready to
snap it up if you don't act fast.
Honestly, if it were any other day...
And quite frankly, with all the time
that I have put in on this for you,
the least you could do is
not stand me up, Frances.
(SIGHS)
You see? It checks every box on your list.
It's right on Main
Street. It's not too big.
It's not too small. It has
a toilet and a hand basin.
And the rent is cheapish.
It is the perfect spot for
the Frances DuFresne Gallery.
Or whatever you're calling it.
Yes, the Frances DuFresne Gallery.
Or the FDFG. Or I don't
know. Maybe just The Gallery.
I just... I don't want it to sound too
pretentious. You know, it's just gonna be...
we're just gonna have local artists.
It sounds so great.
I can get you the
paperwork by this afternoon.
Right.
- I just...
- Mm-hmm?
I'm... I'm just not sure
that now is the right time.
Frances, can I ask you something?
Are you serious?
I must have shown you six or
seven spaces the last few years
and every time we get ready to
pull the trigger, you pussy out.
I don't pussy out. I just...
I just have a lot on my plate.
- You know, I've got all the stuff with the kids.
- Me, too.
- And work.
- Join everybody's club, Frances.
And I'm waiting for
Robert's business to pick up
so that I can have the time that
I really need to focus for me.
And...
and...
it's simply a tough time.
My Lap-Band migrated
and it grew into my stomach.
That is a tough time.
Oh, wow. Well, you look great.
We all have issues, Frances.
Now, if you're just gonna
do this, let's just do it.
But if you're just
dabbling, please let me know
so I can stop wasting your time.
And when I say wasting your time,
I'm being extremely passive-aggressive.
- (KNOCKS)
- DALLAS: Knock, knock.
Dallas, Franny.
I'll be right back, sweetheart.
- Oh.
- Hi, sweetie.
- Oh, Dallas.
- Diane.
Happy to see you.
- Shh.
- Oh, sorry.
Just have to be quiet 'cause he's sleeping.
How long has he been sleeping?
43 hours. Technically he's in a coma,
but it's a medically induced coma,
so it's more like just
sleeping. How are you?
Um, truthfully?
Uh, not so good. Not so good.
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time.
I mean, obviously you're going
through a much harder time.
I'm sorry, I didn't... I didn't mean to...
No, I understand. He's
your guys' friend, too.
It must be just awful for you
to have to see him like this.
- Oh, yes.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
It's just so hard watching him sleep so
deeply knowing that it was all my fault.
Again, not something you want
to be saying out loud right now.
It's not an issue of fault, per se.
It's a simple accident. Could
have happened to anybody.
- Well...
- That's so sweet of you.
- FRANCES: Who's he?
- The policemen said they'd rather not have me
alone with Nick, so my lawyer's associate
has been kind enough to keep me company.
Gangway.
Oh, hey, Robert.
Hey, buddy.
Got you some flowers down at the gift shop.
I don't know if you can smell them or not.
Hey, how we doing? It's Robert.
Just give me a squeeze of
the hand if you can hear me.
I'll take that as a
solid maybe. Soul shake.
Just conserve your energy. I
know what you're going through.
Seems like it's open
season on men around here.
- Oh, come on, that's not fair.
- Hey, Diane.
I'm trying to have a private conversation
with my friend Nick who you tried to kill.
Again, simple accident. Could
have happened to anybody.
And, Diane, if you really want people
to believe that you care about Nick,
maybe you could take your gun
tote off of his colostomy bag.
Robert, can I please...
can I please talk to you
in the hallway for a second?
Must be hell for you in there.
Can't speak, trapped,
clucking hens all around you.
Robert, I know that
you're hurting right now,
but you have to give her a chance.
She made a mistake and she knows it.
Did she think it was a mistake when
she was sucking that guy's measly cock
and telling you all about it so you
could have a big laugh behind my back?
Okay, you are undermedicated
- and you are raging right now.
- Whose cock?
- What is going on?
- I'll explain it later.
No wonder your husband pretended to be gay
to get the fuck away
from you, you old harpy.
Wow.
You're gonna feel a lot of
shame about that someday.
You mean you did it with
the Columbia professor guy?
- Diane.
- The one who makes his own granola, right?
- Not right now.
- Wait a second.
What's going on here?
Wait, so everybody knows
everything except for me, huh?
Did she tell you everything, Dallas?
Or what about you, Diane?
She tell you about his
lovemaking technique?
Or how deeply he thrusted?
She tell you about how his load tasted?
No, just about the granola.
What, is that a euphemism for butt play?
Well, I'll be goddamned if I'm
gonna stand here and listen to it.
Call me, Nick.
You're the only friend I got.
- Excuse me.
- Robert.
- I'll be right back, okay?
- Excuse me, ma'am.
- Probably not the best time right now.
- I'm so sorry.
- I'm sorry. Don't leave, okay?
- Okay, yeah.
- We have a lot of experience...
- What is wrong with you?
Give me that.
Robert.
- Robert.
- (GROANS)
Where are you going?
Whatever. I'm out of here.
Well, the exit is that way.
Maybe I have to urinate
first, smarty-pants.
- You ever think of that?
- God, enough, Robert. Come on.
I feel like we have to figure
out what we're doing here.
- Okay, you're right.
- Good.
- I'm listening.
- Good.
What have you got to say?
I'm not sure.
Me neither. That was easy. Thanks.
Come on, Robert. I feel like we just...
we have to find someplace
private to sit and talk.
Okay, can we just do it tonight?
- I have a really, really busy day.
- So do I, but I...
I have to see if the windows came
in on the Johnson Avenue place.
Then I have to go check
the work site at Elm Street.
But first pick the kids up at school
and tell them that you're divorcing me.
Robert, do not do that.
Hey, better they get it from
me than hear it on the street.
Do not do this.
Look, I'm just gonna lay out the
basics of how you're divorcing me.
I'll leave it up to you to throw in
the nuances of how you took a lover,
thereby destroying our
family and so on and so forth.
Oh, my purse.
- It's not how it is.
- (CRYING)
Oh, it's gonna be okay, Diane.
No, it's just that if I
was involved with some guy,
I would tell both of you and the
fact that you just told Dallas
and you both left me in
the dark is just hurtful.
I mean, what does that say about trust?
- Are you serious?
- Yes, I'm serious.
Oh, Christ.
- (CAR STARTS)
- Oh. Robert!
- Robert! Robert!
- (HONKS HORN)
Frances, just let him go.
I don't think he's gonna
just shake this off.
Oh, shit.
No, I mean, let him go as in get
him the fuck out of your life.
Because I told you this
affair was a bad idea
and I was on his side and he turns around
and he calls me a fucking harpy?
Fuck him.
I'm scared he's gonna really tell the kids.
- Frances, wait.
- What? What?
- You need to take the dog.
- What?
The dog. I couldn't
keep it in the apartment.
It's exacerbating Cole's allergies.
Good Lord, Dallas.
(ENGINE ROARING)
- (TIRES SQUEALING)
- (DOG WHINES)
- (TIRES SCREECH)
- (HORN HONKS)
Hey, Tom and Lila. Hi.
I got 'em. I got 'em.
Why are you both here?
Oh, you know, just a
general confusion. Come on.
- Let's go, it's cold.
- Come on, truck's right over here.
- Come on, sweets.
- Truck's over here.
- No, the car's right here.
- Come on, you guys.
- No way!
- (LILA GASPS)
ROBERT: Oh, come on.
Oh!
Listen, you guys, my
truck's over in the safe area
where you don't alarm children.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Does he already have a name
or do we get to name him?
I swear I'll walk him all
the time just like I promised.
(SIGHS)
Well, all right.
- You know, deal's a deal, right?
- I didn't mention it before.
It took me a while to find the perfect dog.
What's his name?
- His name's Guillermo.
- Hannah.
- It's Guillermo.
- Hannah.
William in Spanish.
(SLURPING)
(CHILDREN CHATTING)
Fine.
Upstairs.
I know I hurt you. That is 100% my fault.
I'm not disputing that.
And if I could take it all
back, everything I said...
- And did.
- ...and did, I would.
- But I do love you.
- Hmm, interesting.
It seems as if you're trying
to convince yourself of that.
Look, you have every right to
tell me that you're done with me.
I am well aware of my rights, Frances.
But I don't want to break up this family
and I don't think you do either.
(SCOFFS)
This has been very
alarming for the children.
Yes.
Okay, you know what? I don't
know what I'm thinking right now
- and quite frankly I'm exhausted.
- Me, too.
They put in the new countertops
at the Elm Avenue house today.
I don't know if you're interested.
Corinthian granite. Quite beautiful.
That's great.
Carla showed me a space
today on Main Street
that would be perfect for my gallery.
- What?
- For my gallery. For the gallery.
I think the most important
thing here, Frances,
is no matter what
happens between you and I,
that we think of the children first.
- Absolutely.
- I don't want to put them through any ugliness
or chaos or end up using them as pawns.
- Yeah, I totally agree.
- Do you?
(SCOFFS) Of course.
Then why'd you buy them that big fucking
dog to make them like you more than me?
Wait, what?
I didn't buy that dog.
That's Diane's birthday dog.
Do you remember? She asked
me to take care of it.
That big fucker's from the other night?
- Yes.
- Seems like a much bigger dog.
No, no, it's... it's... it's the same dog.
I'm not completely convinced that's
the same dog, but let's move on.
Okay.
- Robert.
- I don't have an answer for you, Frances, okay?
Stop pushing me.
You said I could take some
time to think about it.
I need some time to think about it.
You can. I just want to make sure
that you know that the...
that the stuff with Julian...
meant nothing.
Obviously if things had been going
great between us,
then it probably wouldn't have happened.
But it did happen.
I know, but he meant nothing to me.
He means
nothing to me.
Yeah.
Me neither.
(DOG PANTING)
When's Daddy coming to bed?
Well...
Daddy's gonna sleep in your room tonight.
Why?
Well, 'cause...
the dog's fur makes his allergies act up.
Are we going to have to get rid of the dog?
No.
No, he'll get used to it after a while.
Just needs time.
Everything's gonna be okay.

This space is exactly what
you've been looking for
and they've got someone ready to
snap it up if you don't act fast.
Honestly, if it were any other day...
And quite frankly, with all the time
that I have put in on this for you,
the least you could do is
not stand me up, Frances.
(SIGHS)
You see? It checks every box on your list.
It's right on Main
Street. It's not too big.
It's not too small. It has
a toilet and a hand basin.
And the rent is cheapish.
It is the perfect spot for
the Frances DuFresne Gallery.
Or whatever you're calling it.
Yes, the Frances DuFresne Gallery.
Or the FDFG. Or I don't
know. Maybe just The Gallery.
I just... I don't want it to sound too
pretentious. You know, it's just gonna be...
we're just gonna have local artists.
It sounds so great.
I can get you the
paperwork by this afternoon.
Right.
- I just...
- Mm-hmm?
I'm... I'm just not sure
that now is the right time.
Frances, can I ask you something?
Are you serious?
I must have shown you six or
seven spaces the last few years
and every time we get ready to
pull the trigger, you pussy out.
I don't pussy out. I just...
I just have a lot on my plate.
- You know, I've got all the stuff with the kids.
- Me, too.
- And work.
- Join everybody's club, Frances.
And I'm waiting for
Robert's business to pick up
so that I can have the time that
I really need to focus for me.
And...
and...
it's simply a tough time.
My Lap-Band migrated
and it grew into my stomach.
That is a tough time.
Oh, wow. Well, you look great.
We all have issues, Frances.
Now, if you're just gonna
do this, let's just do it.
But if you're just
dabbling, please let me know
so I can stop wasting your time.
And when I say wasting your time,
I'm being extremely passive-aggressive.
- (KNOCKS)
- DALLAS: Knock, knock.
Dallas, Franny.
I'll be right back, sweetheart.
- Oh.
- Hi, sweetie.
- Oh, Dallas.
- Diane.
Happy to see you.
- Shh.
- Oh, sorry.
Just have to be quiet 'cause he's sleeping.
How long has he been sleeping?
43 hours. Technically he's in a coma,
but it's a medically induced coma,
so it's more like just
sleeping. How are you?
Um, truthfully?
Uh, not so good. Not so good.
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time.
I mean, obviously you're going
through a much harder time.
I'm sorry, I didn't... I didn't mean to...
No, I understand. He's
your guys' friend, too.
It must be just awful for you
to have to see him like this.
- Oh, yes.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
It's just so hard watching him sleep so
deeply knowing that it was all my fault.
Again, not something you want
to be saying out loud right now.
It's not an issue of fault, per se.
It's a simple accident. Could
have happened to anybody.
- Well...
- That's so sweet of you.
- FRANCES: Who's he?
- The policemen said they'd rather not have me
alone with Nick, so my lawyer's associate
has been kind enough to keep me company.
Gangway.
Oh, hey, Robert.
Hey, buddy.
Got you some flowers down at the gift shop.
I don't know if you can smell them or not.
Hey, how we doing? It's Robert.
Just give me a squeeze of
the hand if you can hear me.
I'll take that as a
solid maybe. Soul shake.
Just conserve your energy. I
know what you're going through.
Seems like it's open
season on men around here.
- Oh, come on, that's not fair.
- Hey, Diane.
I'm trying to have a private conversation
with my friend Nick who you tried to kill.
Again, simple accident. Could
have happened to anybody.
And, Diane, if you really want people
to believe that you care about Nick,
maybe you could take your gun
tote off of his colostomy bag.
Robert, can I please...
can I please talk to you
in the hallway for a second?
Must be hell for you in there.
Can't speak, trapped,
clucking hens all around you.
Robert, I know that
you're hurting right now,
but you have to give her a chance.
She made a mistake and she knows it.
Did she think it was a mistake when
she was sucking that guy's measly cock
and telling you all about it so you
could have a big laugh behind my back?
Okay, you are undermedicated
- and you are raging right now.
- Whose cock?
- What is going on?
- I'll explain it later.
No wonder your husband pretended to be gay
to get the fuck away
from you, you old harpy.
Wow.
You're gonna feel a lot of
shame about that someday.
You mean you did it with
the Columbia professor guy?
- Diane.
- The one who makes his own granola, right?
- Not right now.
- Wait a second.
What's going on here?
Wait, so everybody knows
everything except for me, huh?
Did she tell you everything, Dallas?
Or what about you, Diane?
She tell you about his
lovemaking technique?
Or how deeply he thrusted?
She tell you about how his load tasted?
No, just about the granola.
What, is that a euphemism for butt play?
Well, I'll be goddamned if I'm
gonna stand here and listen to it.
Call me, Nick.
You're the only friend I got.
- Excuse me.
- Robert.
- I'll be right back, okay?
- Excuse me, ma'am.
- Probably not the best time right now.
- I'm so sorry.
- I'm sorry. Don't leave, okay?
- Okay, yeah.
- We have a lot of experience...
- What is wrong with you?
Give me that.
Robert.
- Robert.
- (GROANS)
Where are you going?
Whatever. I'm out of here.
Well, the exit is that way.
Maybe I have to urinate
first, smarty-pants.
- You ever think of that?
- God, enough, Robert. Come on.
I feel like we have to figure
out what we're doing here.
- Okay, you're right.
- Good.
- I'm listening.
- Good.
What have you got to say?
I'm not sure.
Me neither. That was easy. Thanks.
Come on, Robert. I feel like we just...
we have to find someplace
private to sit and talk.
Okay, can we just do it tonight?
- I have a really, really busy day.
- So do I, but I...
I have to see if the windows came
in on the Johnson Avenue place.
Then I have to go check
the work site at Elm Street.
But first pick the kids up at school
and tell them that you're divorcing me.
Robert, do not do that.
Hey, better they get it from
me than hear it on the street.
Do not do this.
Look, I'm just gonna lay out the
basics of how you're divorcing me.
I'll leave it up to you to throw in
the nuances of how you took a lover,
thereby destroying our
family and so on and so forth.
Oh, my purse.
- It's not how it is.
- (CRYING)
Oh, it's gonna be okay, Diane.
No, it's just that if I
was involved with some guy,
I would tell both of you and the
fact that you just told Dallas
and you both left me in
the dark is just hurtful.
I mean, what does that say about trust?
- Are you serious?
- Yes, I'm serious.
Oh, Christ.
- (CAR STARTS)
- Oh. Robert!
- Robert! Robert!
- (HONKS HORN)
Frances, just let him go.
I don't think he's gonna
just shake this off.
Oh, shit.
No, I mean, let him go as in get
him the fuck out of your life.
Because I told you this
affair was a bad idea
and I was on his side and he turns around
and he calls me a fucking harpy?
Fuck him.
I'm scared he's gonna really tell the kids.
- Frances, wait.
- What? What?
- You need to take the dog.
- What?
The dog. I couldn't
keep it in the apartment.
It's exacerbating Cole's allergies.
Good Lord, Dallas.
(ENGINE ROARING)
- (TIRES SQUEALING)
- (DOG WHINES)
- (TIRES SCREECH)
- (HORN HONKS)
Hey, Tom and Lila. Hi.
I got 'em. I got 'em.
Why are you both here?
Oh, you know, just a
general confusion. Come on.
- Let's go, it's cold.
- Come on, truck's right over here.
- Come on, sweets.
- Truck's over here.
- No, the car's right here.
- Come on, you guys.
- No way!
- (LILA GASPS)
ROBERT: Oh, come on.
Oh!
Listen, you guys, my
truck's over in the safe area
where you don't alarm children.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Does he already have a name
or do we get to name him?
I swear I'll walk him all
the time just like I promised.
(SIGHS)
Well, all right.
- You know, deal's a deal, right?
- I didn't mention it before.
It took me a while to find the perfect dog.
What's his name?
- His name's Guillermo.
- Hannah.
- It's Guillermo.
- Hannah.
William in Spanish.
(SLURPING)
(CHILDREN CHATTING)
Fine.
Upstairs.
I know I hurt you. That is 100% my fault.
I'm not disputing that.
And if I could take it all
back, everything I said...
- And did.
- ...and did, I would.
- But I do love you.
- Hmm, interesting.
It seems as if you're trying
to convince yourself of that.
Look, you have every right to
tell me that you're done with me.
I am well aware of my rights, Frances.
But I don't want to break up this family
and I don't think you do either.
(SCOFFS)
This has been very
alarming for the children.
Yes.
Okay, you know what? I don't
know what I'm thinking right now
- and quite frankly I'm exhausted.
- Me, too.
They put in the new countertops
at the Elm Avenue house today.
I don't know if you're interested.
Corinthian granite. Quite beautiful.
That's great.
Carla showed me a space
today on Main Street
that would be perfect for my gallery.
- What?
- For my gallery. For the gallery.
I think the most important
thing here, Frances,
is no matter what
happens between you and I,
that we think of the children first.
- Absolutely.
- I don't want to put them through any ugliness
or chaos or end up using them as pawns.
- Yeah, I totally agree.
- Do you?
(SCOFFS) Of course.
Then why'd you buy them that big fucking
dog to make them like you more than me?
Wait, what?
I didn't buy that dog.
That's Diane's birthday dog.
Do you remember? She asked
me to take care of it.
That big fucker's from the other night?
- Yes.
- Seems like a much bigger dog.
No, no, it's... it's... it's the same dog.
I'm not completely convinced that's
the same dog, but let's move on.
Okay.
- Robert.
- I don't have an answer for you, Frances, okay?
Stop pushing me.
You said I could take some
time to think about it.
I need some time to think about it.
You can. I just want to make sure
that you know that the...
that the stuff with Julian...
meant nothing.
Obviously if things had been going
great between us,
then it probably wouldn't have happened.
But it did happen.
I know, but he meant nothing to me.
He means
nothing to me.
Yeah.
Me neither.
(DOG PANTING)
When's Daddy coming to bed?
Well...
Daddy's gonna sleep in your room tonight.
Why?
Well, 'cause...
the dog's fur makes his allergies act up.
Are we going to have to get rid of the dog?
No.
No, he'll get used to it after a while.
Just needs time.
Everything's gonna be okay.
