PAT<br />
From your bookmaking?<br />
PAT SR.<br />
Who told you that?<br />
PAT<br />
Mom told me. Outside.<br />
DOLORES<br />
I did not. No, I didn’t.<br />
PAT<br />
You just told me outside, Mom, what<br />
are you talking about? Five minutes<br />
ago, we were walking up the stairs,<br />
you said, “Don’t say anything, but<br />
Dad lost his job and he’s<br />
bookmaking.”<br />
PAT SR.<br />
Why, Dolores? Why did you say that<br />
to him? He has the wrong idea.<br />
(to Pat)<br />
Everything’s fine, Patrick. I’m<br />
more concerned about you than<br />
anything else.<br />
PAT<br />
Good, Dad. Good.<br />
PAT SR.<br />
Okay, the question, the big<br />
question, is what are you gonna do<br />
with yourself?<br />
PAT<br />
What am I gonna do? I’m getting in<br />
shape, I’m getting trim, I’m<br />
getting really fit for Nikki. I’m<br />
gonna read Nikki’s teaching<br />
syllabus and get my old job back.<br />
PAT SR.<br />
Nikki sold the house. She left.<br />
Didn’t your mother tell you that?<br />
PAT<br />
Let me tell you something. You<br />
don’t know anything about my<br />
marriage, okay, Dad? All right? Our<br />
marriage...we’re very, very much in<br />
love, okay? Just like you two.<br />
PAT SR.<br />
Listen, Patrick, she’s gone. She’s<br />
not around anymore. Nikki left.<br />
