Rescue Me (2004–2011): Season 3, Episode 9 - Pieces - full transcript

The crew encounters a little more than smoke when rescuing a man from his burning apartment. Sean (Steve Pasquale) runs into problems while asking Maggie's Dad (Charles Durning) for her hand in marriage. Tommy (Denis Leary) starts to realize that his crews future together may be in jeopardy. Johnny (Dean Winters) finally confronts Tommy face to face, and makes a difficult announcement.

Got a long way to go. Is it

Anywhere we know?

Smells like food on the

Stove to me, doesn't it?

Yeah.

FDNY. Hello.

Fire department. Open up.

FDNY, let's go!

Pop it.

All right. FDNY.

Oh, my God. We got a customer



Right in here.

Holy shit.

Jesus Christ.

That's one guy?

Yeah. You believe this?

We got two thirds of

The million man march

Right here.

Let's get him up and get

Him back to the circus.

Or the knicks.

Same thing really. Ready?

With your legs.

Lift your knees.



Oh, Jesus! God. It's like

Trying to lift rhode island.

Rhode island's not this

Tall, pal.

Guys, I got another broad

Back there.

OK. Hey, we got another

Girl in the back. Grab her.

OK. Holy shit, is that

Dennis rodman?

Go get the girl.

All right.

Michael, give us a hand,

Will you?

Holy shit. Kareem abdul

Jabbar.

He looks really young.

That's such a positive issue

With black people. They always

Look a lot younger than

They are, you know?

Let me try.

Jesus, look at the size of

That guy. No wonder it took you

So long to get him out.

Yeah, we were thinking about

Cutting him up and bringing him

Down in pieces or something.

That would have meant an extra

Trip down to get a saw.

You OK?

I've got dry mouth.

Yeah, man. My mouth is

Dry, too.

I'm starving. Are you hungry?

I could eat.

Pizza.

Yeah.

And chips.

And dip.

Dip. Yeah, man. Dip.

Hey, Chief, are you there?

Yeah, Garrity. Go ahead.

Uh, listen, Chief. Mikey

And I, we got into this back

Room here.

Yeah?

Looks like a goddamn

Greenhouse. Chief, it's amazing.

There's like beds with dirt

And plants and all kinds of

Sunlamps. I think that must be

What caused the fire.

Are we talking about what I

Think we're talking about?

Uh, yeah...

I don't know, Chief. What are

We talking about?

Pot, marijuana, weed.

Yes, yes. That's definitely

What we're talking about.

This guy is growing, like,

Hundreds of plants. At least he

Used to be. They've all gone up

In smoke now. Smells like the

Inside of a bong in here.

Bonggg...

that's such a funny word.

Garrity, get your ass out

Here on the double.

Hey, uh, Chief?

What?

Should I, uh, should I

Bring mikey with me?

Yes, goddammit, yes.

Hey, come on.

Bong.

Bonggg...

bong!

Goons. I'm surrounded by

Goons.

Hey, boys, do me a favor.

Keep an eye on my friend here.

I got to notify the cops. This

Is now officially a crime scene.

Dude.

Dude?

Yeah, there's nothing

In there. Just growing

Flowers in there.

What kind of flowers?

Geraniums.

Geraniums.

Settle down, boys, will you?

Get me some cd73s out of

My rig.

Hey, we got any Bob marley?

I'm ready for some reggae,

Chief.

Cd73s, they're exposure

Forms. You guys have been

Exposed to a foreign substance

During the course of operations

Which means we have to

Report it. Which means we have

To wait around and fill the

Forms out. You guys are not

Paying attention to me anyway.

So, I think what he's saying

Is there's no cds, man.

No music.

Wow.

Screw the cds, I want pizza.

Yeah, man.

All right, guys. All that

Stuff I said about God over

The years.

Yeah.

I take most of it back.

Why? Oh...

yeah.

Hey, brother.

God's pizza. We deliver.

I'd do her.

You would?

Oh, yeah, in a heartbeat.

That's interesting.

Wait a minute. Who are we

Talking about here?

Heather mills mccartney.

Ex-Wife of former beatle Paul.

Yeah. I'd hit that.

Really?

Oh, yeah, man.

Even though she only has

The one leg.

Tommy, it's a bonus.

How is it a bonus?

It gives you an extra

Sexual position to enjoy,

For one. That being, her

Laying on her side, OK, the

Side with the leg, you straddle

Said leg, and do her sideways

Without worrying about the

Extra pesky leg getting in

The way.

What about the stub?

I didn't think about that.

Yeah.

Pass.

How you doing with those

Forms, boys?

Still working on it, Chief.

Here you go.

Since when are you kenneth

Mills mccartney?

Did I write that?

Come on.

Hey, probie. Wake up.

Anymore pizza?

Your social security number,

Mike. You're missing a few

Digits.

Oh, what did I put down?

6.

6 digits?

No. Just the number 6.

Come on. Work on it. Come on.

Look.

What's up, Garrity?

Guess what? What if the

Government is, like, secretly

Recording everything that we

Do and say with secret devices

That are planted, like, right

Out in the open, right under

Our noses? This parking meter

Right here? I was walking by,

And it started blinking. And

Then it started making this,

Like, camera shutter clicking

Sound. I think it took my

Picture.

Was it your good side?

It was straight on.

Oh.

I was squinting though.

You better get back and

Do it again.

You're right. I'm gonna

Go back.

Hey, fix your hair, dude.

* on another day,

Come on, come on,

With these ropes I tied,

Can we do no wrong?

Now we grieve

'Cause now is gone,

Things were good

When we were young,

With my teeth locked down

I can see the blood

Of a thousand men

Who have come and gone,

Now we grieve

'Cause now is gone,

Things were good

When we were young,

Is it safe to say?

Come on, come on,

Was it right to leave?

Come on, come on,

Will I ever learn?

Come on, come on,

Come on, come on,

Come on, come on *

Jesus. You scared me.

How you doing?

Not so good.

I go to the bathroom twice an

Hour and cry my eyes out.

Just, I don't want John to

Hear me.

I thought they were just

Taking one leg.

Oh, no, no. That's, uh...

that was yesterday.

They took the other one this

Morning.

What am I gonna tell him when

He wakes up?

I just... hope he doesn't

Blame me.

No, no, no. He won't

Blame you.

Look at him. He's half

A man.

Sorry.

It's OK, it's OK, it's OK.

It's OK.

You go home. Hang out with

The kids, OK?

Are you sure?

Yeah. I'll stay with him.

Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

OK. Thank you.

OK.

What are you doing?

Just getting some of my

Clothes. Some of my stuff.

Moving out?

Yeah, I guess so.

I think so.

So, were you gonna tell me,

Or were you just gonna sneak

Off in the middle of the night

Like a goddamn pussy?

It's morning, dude.

You know what I mean, man.

Look, I don't want to make

A big thing out of this,

You know? You're a great guy,

But it was just a mistake.

Don't call it that, Mike.

It's not right for me.

You know, I thought, maybe I'd

Get a little more comfortable

With the idea, but now I know

That that's never gonna happen.

Oh, oh. So all those times

I was going down on you, you

Were uncomfortable. Well, you

Seemed pretty comfortable to

Me, Mike. I mean, if you didn't

Like what was happening, why

The hell didn't you just

Speak up, man?

You know how it is when

Someone's going down on you.

You don't want to be rude.

Well, I catch you here again,

I'm gonna kick your ass.

Now get out.

What about the rest of

My stuff?

You got 2 minutes. Anything

You leave behind is going in

The garbage. I'd start moving

If I were you.

Good morning.

Somebody needs to smile.

Yeah, give me a couple

Of days.

Where'd Jeannie go?

Nurse took her outside for

Some fresh air. You know, I

Thought I was gonna have to

Move her out of here. With

This place costing so much.

She nearly fell apart when I

Mentioned that possibility.

So for the last month or so,

I've been out there busting my

Ass trying to earn a little

Extra scratch.

Now, I tell her she can stay.

Everything's all right, and...

she completely falls apart.

A real meltdown.

She doesn't even know who I am.

Mr. Reilly, you might want

To get a little alzheimer's

Of your own.

Excuse me?

Despite this little episode,

Jeannie's happy here. Now you

Have to be happy, too.

If the visits disturb you,

Stop remembering to come.

You telling me forget about

My wife?

She's forgotten about you.

Because she's sick.

Does it matter what the

Reason is?

Who the hell do you think

You are talking to me like that?

Karleen simpson. Nice to

Meet you.

Get the hell out.

I'm sorry if I upset you,

Really. I was only trying

To help.

Don't let the disease claim

Both of you, Mr. Reilly.

That's what I was trying

To say.

Hey. I thought I smelled

Something. What you making,

Baby?

Huevos rancheros.

Oh, looks like scrambled

Eggs to me.

Well, you didn't have any

Tomatoes, onions, chiles, or

Cheese, so that's what it is.

You want to grab me some juice?

Yeah.

Oh, snap. Look at this.

Surprise.

Wow, baby, I don't know who

This guy is, but he is stunning.

Work that camera, biotch.

You like?

Yeah, yeah. It's nice.

You are an excellent subject.

You have depth. Stuff working

Beneath the surface. Secrets.

No. No, no, no. No secrets

Here, babe.

So the little girl's room

Down the hall. That's not

A secret?

Apparently not.

You want to tell me?

I had a daughter. She's not

Here anymore.

She died?

Don't worry. She's fine.

Very much alive. Living a life

Only about a thousand times

Better than I can ever give her.

You want to explain?

Another time.

What about you though, huh?

Any secrets you want to share?

I'm an open book.

You think?

How come you're always coming

Over here? I mean, I mentioned

Going to your place a couple

Of times, you always manage

To sidestep it. What's the deal?

Maybe my place is a pig sty.

No. I don't think so.

So, anything you want to

Tell me?

OK. There is one thing.

You're late for work.

Have some eggs. I'm gonna grab

My stuff and walk out with you.

Uh-Huh.

Both legs?

Yeah.

How's he doing?

He's so doped up, he doesn't

Even know, you know?

How about deb,

She holding up?

I think she's afraid he's

Gonna blame her when he comes

Out of it. What's wrong

With you?

Rough morning.

Oh.

Hey, thanks for noticing,

Buddy.

All right.

OK. OK.

What the hell was that?

Probably a holdover from

The weed.

Hey, bro. What's going on?

How you doing, brother?

Do me a favor.

Stop touching me, OK?

Mike just touched you.

I saw him.

Mike got a special...

you know how the pope gives

Out special dispensations

Sometimes? That's what Mike

Got, OK?

All right. Well, I mean,

You're gonna have to start

Getting used to the fact that

In real life, we're gonna be

Bros, bro, so...

you're not married to my

Sister yet.

But it's happening soon,

You know, and even if I try to

Not call you bro, I'm still

Gonna be giving you bro energy

Loud and clear.

Stop calling me bro.

You call me bro anymore, I'm

Gonna punch you in the face.

Very hard.

See, that kind of talk, used

To make me think that you

Hated me, but now I know, it's

Sibling rivalry.

Get your hands...

yo, guys. Come check

This out.

What does he want?

I don't know.

Oh, yeah.

You gotta be kidding me.

Nice hog, Lou.

Hey, thanks.

That is some sweet machine.

Jesus, you know what we got

To do, we got to get a couple

Of those bikes, you know what

I mean? Start our own little

Family gang. The gatlin family

Ramblers.

Go inside the house.

Why, why?

Go inside the house

Right now.

Family squabble. No biggie.

So how do you guys like

The ride?

Nothing like a new set of

Shiny wheels to turn a midlife

Crisis around.

At this point, jer, I'm not

Interested in turning it

Around, I'm interested in

Outrunning the goddamn thing.

Yo, Lou, let me take it for

A spin around the block.

I don't think so. You got

A recruitment roster to report

On inside. And then you got a

Sink full of dishes.

It's a mess.

Nice. Make the puerto rican

Guy wash the dishes. Thanks a

Lot, Chief. Now you know why

I'm taking that lieutenant's

Exam. All right?

Hey, don't crack your head

On this thing. I need you

Around here.

Bikes.

So, I guess this is what the

Terminator looks like without

The steroids, huh?

Very funny, very funny.

It's the new me. Yeah, I'm

Getting the rest of my leathers

Next week. I'm gonna find some

Nice, chunky blonde girl with

A tattoo right on her ass crack.

Mm-Hmm.

Then you know, after that,

Probably be working security

For the stones. You want me to

Get you backstage, meet mick?

OK, what's going on?

Come on, Tom. A little

Support. I'm trying... I'm trying

New things.

Uh-Huh. I don't get it.

Look, for the first time

In a long time, you know, I feel

Like I have possibilities.

I feel like I can maybe turn

Things around. Maybe even,

You know, God forbid, be happy.

What's the point in getting

There if you're gonna burn up

In a fire, huh?

Right.

Look, I got this cousin

Down in Florida.

Yeah.

He's got this fishing boat.

Charter boat. Takes rich

Tourists out for the day.

Fishing, you know. Makes a

Whole boatload of money.

Got a first mate, the guy got

Married, he's not coming back.

He asked me if I was interested,

I said, no. But now I'm

Thinking, the guy's got a

Guest house for me, you know.

A beautiful boat. Fresh air,

Sunshine. Now, I'm thinking yes.

I mean, it's an interesting

Plan. It's a beautiful boat,

But, not for you.

Well, why not?

Well... Florida. First of all.

I mean jeb Bush, Florida, OK?

Yeah.

That's number one. Number

Two, have you heard about the

Alligators. It's been all over

Cnn the last couple of weeks,

There have been alligators

Climbing out of the swamps

Down there, and eating joggers

Right off the jogging path.

There was, like, two women

Jogging, and they got eaten by

Alligators.

I don't jog.

When they're done eating

The joggers, they're gonna come

After the sedentary people, OK?

And then, the bermuda triangle

Which is right off the coast

Of Florida. I mean, you could

Just, disappear, OK? Not to

Mention, cubans. I'm not talking

Cigars, I'm talking actual

Cubans. Wall to wall. All right?

Florida's not for you.

I don't know, you know?

Maybe you didn't hear me ask

About a little support before.

Lou, I'm just saying.

Ahh...

yeah.

Look who decides to pick up.

Listen, man. Something's

Come up, you know. Something

That you got to know. Something

That I don't want to tell you

About over a telephone, so I was

Kind of hoping you and me, you

Know, we could get together.

Have a little face to face.

I could tell you in person.

Tommy, are you there?

Listen, Tommy, man. How long

Are we gonna keep on doing this,

You know? I mean, you and I,

We go a lot of years ahead of

Us, brother, and I just, what

Do you say, we work together

And just try to put this

Bullshit behind us, man?

You know? When can we get

Together?

Seanster.

Hey, hey. What's up?

Hey, man. You want to go

Grab a drink?

I can't, man. I got stuff to

Take care of for the wedding

With the lovely bride to be.

You're still marrying

Maggie, right?

Of course, why?

The "lovely" thing threw me

Off.

Hey, speaking of lovely,

How's it going with Natalie? She

Sounds great, dude.

Yeah. She is. Possibly.

Possibly, why is something

Wrong?

I don't know, man. I think

She might have another guy on

The hook. A guy she could be

Living with.

No shit.

Yeah. She never wants to go

Back to her place for some

Reason. Plus every time we're

Together, her phone rings like

100 times an hour. I could swear

It's the same person every time.

Pretty sure it's a dude.

Man, that sucks.

Yeah. Tell me about it.

Finally found a girl I can get

Serious about, turns out she

Could be playing me.

Goddamn karma again, right?

You got to confront her,

You know, see if it's true.

See what's going on.

Yeah, I know. Love's a pain

In the balls.

Tell me about it.

You know, what have I told

You a million, zillion,

Gajillion goddamn times.

Uh, no.

About the car, OK?

Oh, I don't...

what do we do every 3,000

Miles?

We check the oil.

Oh, right.

Check the oil, check the

Oil, check the oil.

OK, OK. Check the oil.

I got it. Look, I'm very busy.

I got lots of things. I got

Lots of lists.

OK, on one of the lists, put

Check the oil, OK? Do you want

Me to put one of them little

Stickers in, you know when you

Go to the shop, they put the

Sticker in the window.

No, bossy. I got it.

I'm not being bossy. I'm

Just trying to help you have a

Safe vehicle.

You are being very...

stick up the assy.

Stick up the what?

Honey, what is wrong

With you?

Nothing's wrong with me.

Come on, you're so, you're,

Like, on edge.

I'm not on edge.

Tommy, Tommy.

Don't, don't, don't start

With the tommys.

Tommy...

OK. I think the crew may be

Breaking up.

What?

Yeah.

Frank's taking the

Lieutenant's test, and probie's

Put...

come here.

Probie's been thinking of

Putting in for a transfer, and

I think even Lou's thinking of

Leaving.

No way.

Yeah.

Sheila.

Oh, hi.

Hi. How you doing?

I'm good. How are you?

Good to see you.

Good to see you.

Garrity, your mom's on the

Phone.

All right. I'll see you

Later.

Bye.

See you, bro.

Yeah.

Bro?

What else? What do you mean?

You work with a bunch of

Guys, you laugh your ass off

When you're together, and you

Know, blah blah blah, things

Click. And then, you know, I'm

Expected to work with a bunch

Of college age kids who decide

They want to be heroes after

9/11, you know what I mean?

I don't want to get my ass

Melted off working with these

Guys who don't know what the

Hell they're doing. Losing Lou

Would be bad enough, but losing

Franco, I mean, come on.

OK. What about Sean?

Sean's marrying Maggie.

He's gonna be dead in 31/2

Months tops anyways.

If I lose Lou and Franco, I

Don't think I can do this job

Anymore.

Let me help you.

I can do that. I can make a

Better life for the both of us.

OK, we can go anywhere. We

Could, um, we could buy a place

On the beach, and we can spend

The rest of our lives for the

Next 30 years watching the kids

Grow up and getting married

And their grandkids play in

The ocean, and in the sand.

I am so rich. I have all that

Widow money just sitting in the

Bank untouched. The only thing

I've done since Jimmy went is

Change houses a couple times,

And I made a pretty penny on

The profit, thank you very much.

All I have to do is call the

Bank, and the next day, I would

Have a check for $3.1 million.

How do you have that much

Money?

Interest, Tommy. I mean, it's

Been 5 years.

Shit, it has been 5 years.

Jesus Christ.

What's the matter?

You know Johnny stackhouse.

Of course I do.

You hear about what happened?

Yes.

They took his legs.

Oh, God.

We went to probie school

Together. Me, him, and Jimmy.

Makes you think, you know?

Honey, look at me. I won't

Let anything happen to you.

Look at me. I would never let

Anything happen to you. Just

Tell me to call the bank. I will

Call the bank.

Shh.

Hey, Sheila.

Hi.

How you doing?

Damn, girl, you look fantastic.

How you been, huh?

Good to see you.

It's good to see you, too.

You smell good, too.

I do?

Nice perfume. Yeah.

Yeah, see you.

Oh, that's it, baby.

Oh, yeah, ride the pony.

Ride the baloney pony.

Theodore, is this is as good

As you thought it was gonna be?

Don't talk. I want you to put

All your focus and all your

Energy into the sex. That's

Your goal for the next 40

Minutes. If it isn't sex,

Don't do it.

Goddamn it, get off. I got

To answer the phone.

Goddamn guards calling every

10 minutes. How in the hell do

They expect us to get into a

Rhythm?

They need to know that you're

Still here, and I'm not dead.

What am I gonna do?

Strangle you with your own

Panties?

Oh, you want to try that?

Yeah.

Hello. Oh, hello, mo.

Yeah, I'm still here. And she's

Still alive.

Hi.

Listen, I knew the deal

Coming in, but this is goddamn

Disruptive. Trying to get a

Little pussy here. It's not like

I'm gonna climb up inside there

And have her smuggle me out.

Jesus, Mike, you try and

Flush a dictionary?

Will you keep it down in

There. I'm trying to have a

Private conversation here.

It's like the battle of

The bulge in there.

Bobby, give me five,

Will you? I got something going

Here, all right?

I gotta go out ot the truck

And pick up the heavy artillery

Anyway.

Don't go too far, OK?

I got something wicked brewing

Here.

OK, see, here's the thing

Is, sir. I, uh...

see, my family, they really

Raised me right. I think.

And I wanted to do this

Respectfully and officially.

So that's why I'm here,

Mr. Gavin. To ask you most

Sincerely, and most...

some other word, for your

Daughter Maggie's hand in

Marriage.

Are you retarded?

I can't believe Tommy's

Missing it.

I'm taking notes.

OK.

I just, I mean, I had some

Reading comprehension issues

In school. I had to take the

Sats, like, 11 times, and I

Still didn't pass.

What's the point in asking

Me for her hand in marriage

When you've already asked her

For it?

That's a good point. That's

A good point, dad. Is it OK

If I call you that? It's not

Too early to call you that.

I don't know.

Is it too early for me to call

You asshole?

... to call you

Asshole.

You do realize that she is

A bloodsucking hell bitch.

What?

This is a private

Conversation.

You see these shoes, these

Are gonna go right up your ass,

Old man.

You see how she talks to me?

And I'm her father. Imagine

What she'll say to you.

I don't have to imagine.

She really, she...

you know, you seem like

A nice kid. A little slow,

But nice. You see that door

Over there?

Mm-Hmm.

Use it. And never look back.

You know what, that's it,

You're out. You're not invited

To the wedding. No invitation

For you.

What about the wedding after

This one? Am I banned from

That, too?

OK, please. Will you guys

Just please not fight, really.

As a member, future member of

The family. Please don't fight.

OK, listen, sir. Marrying

Maggie, it's the biggest and

The scariest decision I've ever

Made in my life, but it's also,

It's the smartest and the

Surest, and I just, I love her,

You know? I love her fire and

Her passion. And I even love

Her anger. So it, really, it's

Important to me, to us,

Mr. Gavin, if we could have...

your blessing.

Oh... oh, hell.

Welcome to the family...

retard.

That's...

that's so great.

Goddammit!

Sheesh!

And they wonder why we kill.

Hello?

Hey, girl. It's me.

You must be psychic. I've

Been thinking about you all day.

Yeah, I've been thinking

About you, too. Where you at?

I'm at home.

Really? Hey, uh, how about

I come over there.

Uh...

how about I meet you out

Somewhere, or we go back to

Your place?

Franco?

Nat, what's going on, huh?

What do you mean?

I think you got something

Going on over there, OK?

Something you don't want me

Knowing about. Now are you gonna

Come clean or what?

It's complicated.

Is it a guy?

Yeah. But it isn't what

You think.

Yeah, well, then why don't

You explain it to me then, OK?

Let it ring.

Mr. Reilly. Hello.

What do you want?

I came to apologize for

The other day.

You're lucky I didn't talk

To your supervisor.

The shit you said.

You have to understand,

I see the pain. So much of it.

The afflicted, they are free

From it as far as we know.

But the families, the loved ones

Left behind. If you don't want

To let go, I understand.

But your Jeannie, just because

She living in another world,

That doesn't mean you have to

Stop living in this one.

I wish you the best.

What did you say your

Name was? Karla?

Karleen.

Thanks, karleen.

Thanks a lot.

My heart's a lot lighter now.

I'll see you soon. I hope.

So, dude, she gets all quiet.

Big moment of drama.

Oh, boy.

Yeah.

Hey, Chief. Good morning.

Good morning, boys.

What's up, Chief. Anyway,

She cops to it, man. She is

Living with a dude.

Holy shit. You were right.

Well, almost. It's her

Brother. He's, like, uh,

A little slow. So she looks

After him. I'm going over there

Tonight, I'm gonna meet him.

Crisis averted.

Oh, jeez. Good work, brother.

Nice to hear.

Yeah.

Hey, how's it going?

Hey, how are you, can I

Help you?

Uh, yeah, Mike Siletti works

Here, right?

Uh, yeah. He's upstairs.

No, that's OK. I just wanted

To drop this off. He left it

At my place. I'm Chris. He's

Probably never mentioned me.

No, I don't think so.

Well, I'm not surprised.

Anyway, I didn't know if this

Was important. It looks kind of

Official.

This is a transfer.

What is this, a joke?

I don't think so. That is

Mike's signature right there.

Jesus Christ. You work day

In and day out with a guy,

You think you know him.

Well, I'm sure there are some

Other things about Mike

You don't know.

Oh, yeah, like what?

Well, let's just say, he's

A big fan of sex in the city.

Oh, me, too. It's a great

Show. You know what I never

Understood? Why we never got

To see Sarah Jessica parker's

Tits. You know, I mean cynthia

Nixon, sure. Kim cattrell,

Why not? Never Sarah Jessica

Parker's.

All right, let's just put it

This way. He's playing for the

Other team, dude.

No way.

What's up, dude?

What's up, dude, that's all

You got to say to me?

Pretty much.

OK, for your information,

Chris was just here. All right,

I know everything. I know what's

Going on.

Chris was here?

That's right.

Oh, shit.

Yeah, I mean, we're such

Good friends. Huh, Mike, when

Were you gonna tell me

About this?

Never.

Asshole.

I was confused.

Yeah, OK, well, now I'm

Confused, too, all right?

Why didn't you talk to me

About it? Maybe I would've gone

The same way.

Get out of here.

Yeah, bro. I like to keep it

Fresh. I like to try new things.

Switch hit. Different positions.

How can you go around behind

Our backs and do this?

Sean, you gotta know the

Truth. It was just Chris.

Oh, don't pin this on him.

But it was him. I mean, we're

Talking maybe a half a dozen

Blow jobs. It was always him

Blowing me, I never kissed him

Or slept in the same bed

With him. It was just the blow

Jobs, I swear.

OK, what are we talking

About here?

I'm talking about what Chris

Told you.

Yeah, all Chris told me

About was this transfer order.

Holy shit!

Sean, please, just don't tell

Anybody.

Ba ba ba boom .

Mike's gay.

Oh, hell. I know that.

You talked to Chris, too?

Who's Chris?

Chris is his lover man,

Uh, guy.

I can explain, Lou. Please,

Just don't let anybody

Else know.

Know what?

Mike's gay.

Yeah. Tell me something

I don't know.

Oh, you mean, gay gay.

You know, the place I used

To live, they were putting this

New building up across the

Street, and every morning on

My way to work, I'd pass by

The construction guys out there.

And there was this one guy,

Chris, and I noticed him a

Couple of times, and one day,

I was passing by, he sort of,

Like, smiled at me.

OK, I think I'm gonna puke.

It freaked me out, too.

You know, every morning, he'd,

Like, give me this, like, smile.

And one day, when I stepped out,

He wasn't there.

Did you check the end of

Your cock?

Lou. Let him talk.

Go ahead, kid.

He was gone, and I sort of,

Like...

missed him.

All right. My balls just

Went up behind my lungs.

I don't know how to describe

The way I was feeling, you know?

He was a nice guy. And we

Started talking, and, um,

You know, I guess, I was,

Like, lonely or something.

So I moved into his place,

And it was great at first,

And... then it got weird.

Oh. Then it got weird.

'Cause I was wondering when

That was gonna kick in.

He was into me in...

that way. That's when the blow

Jobs started.

And it freaked me out at first,

Guys. I knew it wasn't right

For me, you know? L-L-I...

he's gone, I'm not with him.

It's over, I left, and that's

The whole story.

Bullshit, Mike, what about

The transfer?

I filled the form out, but I

Didn't turn it in.

Cut the shit, Mike. You

Already got your new house all

Picked out.

How do you know that?

Because, he's playing for

Their softball team.

What?

Yeah.

Your boyfriend, Chris, he

Told me that you were batting

For the other team.

What?

OK, ignoring that, we have

A serious issue here. It's a

Matter of what everyone is

Comfortable with. Given the

Close quarters we share on a

Daily basis, I don't know where

The hell to even start.

Yeah, I'll tell you where

To start, Chief. I don't want

Him showering with us, that's

For sure. Nothing personal,

Mikey, I just don't need you

Staring at my hangdown like it's

The ala carte special at

Chez homo.

You know what, and another

Thing, I don't want to know

About your new boyfriends, or

Your new clothes, or nights out

At the disco, or liza minnelli

Or ass toys. Off limits from

Now on.

I'm not gay. I didn't do

Anything sexual to him, you

Know? I'm totally into chicks.

Totally. And... I'm... seeing

This girl for the past couple

Of weeks.

Yeah. A girl named dave.

You know what? If this is

The way it's gonna be, if I

Can't make a little mistake in

My personal life, then maybe

I should transfer!

Hey, hey, kid. Wait.

Wait, wait, wait. Come here.

Come here.

Listen, guys. Better or worse,

I think we all consider

Ourselves kind of a family here.

Correct?

Yeah, right?

All right?

Now whether Mike's a fag...

sorry, Mike. Or not, he's a

Part of that family. Correct?

I think as a firefighter, he's,

You know, been starting to

Pull his own weight. You know?

You know, and maybe he acts

A little faggy from time to

Time. Sorry, Mike. But you know,

In the shit, he's been learning,

He's been performing. I mean,

Johnny stack would not be alive

Today without mikey here.

Right? As far as it goes here

In the house, I trust the kid.

You know? I feel like if I'm,

You know, if I'm stuck somewhere

In the job, that he's got my,

Uh, you know, he's got me

Covered. Come here, kid.

Come here.

Thanks, Tommy.

I love you, man.

I got no problem with this.

10 bucks says mikey's hard.

I heard that.

I'm in.

I'll take a piece of that.

Hey. So how you doing?

Good. Come on in.

Yeah. Wow. Incredible.

I'm finally getting to look

At the place.

Starting to think you lived

In a cardboard box somewhere.

Richard, come say hi. He

Loves meeting new people.

Great.

This is my big brother rich.

Rich, this is Franco.

How's it going?

Oh, uh, great, man.

How you doing? I mean, other

Than the obvious stuff.

Sorry.

If you want to run, do it

Now and get it over with.

No, sweetheart. Not me.

I'm sticking.

Play checkers with me.

Checkers? Yeah, sure.

I thought the three of us

Could go out and get something

To eat. I'll just go wash up.

You guys play a game, and I'll

Change and come back.

Don't take long.

You'll be fine. Let him

Win, rich.

Sit down.

Oh, yeah.

What's your name again?

Oh, I'm Franco.

Franco. I go first.

Sure.

Now you go.

All right, um...

you know, I really, I don't

Know this game that well.

I'll move for you.

OK.

Thanks, rich.

You suck.

Yeah. Well, uh... I don't

Think the learning curve's

That steep. I'll figure it out.

Uh, dude, I really don't think

You should be... plastic's not

For eating, man. Nat!

Don't tell her.

I will kick your goddamn ass.

No problem.

Your move.

All right.

What have you got there?

Just a little motivation.

I don't know if he can get

Through this, Tom. God knows

If anybody can, it's him.

We picked this place out.

To retire to. Bought it last

Fall. I've been buying

Furniture and patio furniture,

And pillows. Lots of pillows.

God, he hates pillows.

Anyways, he kept, he kept saying

He was gonna put in for his

Pension, you know? Not that he

Was serious. I think he was

Just yessing me to death.

He lived for the job. But now,

If he goes, what do I get?

At least the widows from 9/11,

Not that you can put a price

On any one life, I know that,

But at least they have some

Money to carry on. Me, I got

Nothing.

Half a husband. And a house.

Full of pillows.

I don't know, maybe if he wakes

Up and sees this, maybe it will

Give him some strength. Maybe

We'll both end up there somehow.

That wasn't so bad. You're

Really good with him.

Yeah, well, you know, I've

Had a lot of practice. Couple

Guys in my house are only a

Notch or two above your brother,

If that.

Man, how did I get so lucky?

I don't know. I was just

Thinking the same thing myself.

Nigger.

Did he just...

Richard, watch your language.

Did he just call me a nigger?

He has a little tourette's

Thing going on in addition to

Everything else.

Right, uh, papa, I'm

Puerto rican. If you want to

Call me a name, at least try to

Keep it in the right ballpark,

OK?

Keep walking. I'm tired.

OK.

Nigger.

Whoa, whoa. What did you

Just call me, man?

Uh, hey, brother. It's cool.

He was talking to me.

Oh, it's cool, it's cool?

He just calls you a nigger and

That's cool? What kind of stupid

Ass nigger are you?

I'm puerto rican, man.

Oh, goddamn spic.

Look, man. We don't want any

Problems, all right? It's cool.

Nigger.

OK, we got to go.

Sorry, man. Sorry.

Come on, guys.

What the hell happened to my

Bunker gear? It's like somebody

Washed it and it shrank.

That's mine. That's my

New gear.

What?

You know, Maggie, she didn't

Want to take my name after we

Get married, so I thought I'd

Take hers, you know? I'm gonna

Be Sean Garrity-Gavin.

You're shitting me, right?

No. God, not at all.

I mean, it's too many

Goddamn letters to put on the

Back. Plus there's that slashy

Dashy thing. What's that called?

The hyphen.

Yeah, so I just, I thought

I'd use yours. I mean, I know

It's gonna be problematic seeing

Us two brothers working at the

Same house, but we'll figure

It out.

My life's officially in

The shitter, by the way.

Listen, don't look now,

But you're going for another

Lap around the bowl.

Christ.

Um...

I'd call the cops, but looks

Like they're already here.

You all right?

Yeah, I'll be all right.

Hey.

I'm here because, uh... you know,

I didn't want you finding out

From somebody else.

Janet's pregnant.

It wasn't planned.

You know, it just happened.

It is what it is.

And we're happy.

Obviously, we don't know what

The sex of the child is, but

Look at the upside, Tommy.

If it's a boy, then dad can

Stop with that whole male heir

Bullshit thing that he keeps

Talking about.

OK, Tommy?

You're asking me if it's OK?

Yeah.

Congratulations.

You coming?

Yeah.
