[laughter]
Beltzer
The twister caught it and sucked it right up!
Bill
Honey, this is a tissue full of lies. See, there was another Bill, an evil Bill, and I killed him.

Unexpected Christmas Gift Exchange
Kelly Frears
Merry Christmas.
Chuck Noland
I thought you were gonna stiff me.
Kelly Frears
No.

Here's your fancy thing.
[hands Chuck his pocket knife]

Thanks. I love the wrapping. And I love the box.

Good.

Real leather, the pages have gold on em.

Kelly Frears
Yes. Look at him in his little blue Russian house there.
Chuck Noland
I'm Russian.
Kelly Frears
My God. And it's not one of those loud ones, right?
Chuck Noland
No, you can program it so it vibrates and lights up, and you can see it in the dark.
Kelly Frears
It seems like a real nice pager.
Chuck Noland
Sorry about the hand towels.
Kelly Frears
No, no, I love em.

[hands Kelly a small box]
Kelly Frears
I'm terrified.
Chuck Noland
Just take it and hold onto it, and you can open it on New Year's Eve. And I love you. I'll be right back!

Understanding and Sobriety in Relationships
Arlene McKinney
I want you to understand.
Eugene Simonet
Oh, it's not necessary. Really. No explanation required.
Arlene McKinney
Wait. Please don't talk to me like that. We had 13 years in, Eugene. He's sober now. We've never been sober together.
Eugene Simonet
Well, I wish you luck.
Arlene McKinney
I - I feel like I gotta give him a chance.
Eugene Simonet
A chance. A chance for what?
Arlene McKinney
To change. To try to make up for lost time.
Eugene Simonet
Oh, what? To take Trevor to some ball games? Do some real daddy things with him?
Arlene McKinney
Yeah. He promised to try. What do you want me to do?
Eugene Simonet
Oh, I don't know. Be smart.
Arlene McKinney
He's his father, Eugene.
Eugene Simonet
He impregnated you, Arlene. In what other way has he been a father to Trevor? Unless knocking somebody around is a new family value.
Arlene McKinney
What are you talking about? He never touched Trevor.
Eugene Simonet
Oh, that's right. Only you. He only took it out on you. That's so much better.
[A beat.]
Arlene McKinney
What did Trevor tell you?
Eugene Simonet
Enough. Christ, Arlene, secrets like that shouldn't be kept. What good does it do Trevor?
[A beat.]
Arlene McKinney
You weren't there. Ricky never meant to hit me. We were drunk.
Eugene Simonet
Christ! What is it with women like you? Is that really something you tell yourself? "Oh, it's okay. He beat me. Trevor's okay"? Trevor has locked himself in a bathroom, and he can't breathe, and he's - and he's hoping and praying that it will stop!
Arlene McKinney
Trevor never went through that.
Eugene Simonet
How do you know what Trevor went through? How do you know? How do you know the next time, after you, he doesn't come for Trevor? I know what I'm talking about, Arlene! My father got on his knees and begged my mother, and my mother, she always took him back. I never understood it. She'd cover the bruises and the cuts, and she'd take him back. Because he begged, and he cried. And now, you ask me what happened after he came back.
Arlene McKinney
No.
Eugene Simonet
No! Go on! You said you wanted to know what happened to me! Now, ask me!
Arlene McKinney
I don't like this.
Eugene Simonet
Did he hurt you, Eugene? Ask me!
[A beat.]
Arlene McKinney
Did he hurt you?
Eugene Simonet
Not for long. By 13, I was gone. I ran away. But, I missed her. So, I had to go back and see her. And so one night, I did. Now, ask me what happened that night. What happened that night you came back, Eugene?
Arlene McKinney
What happened?
Eugene Simonet
He was there. Drunk as usual. Only this time, I wasn't the same. I was 16 years old, and I was no longer afraid of him. And when I looked him in the eye and told him if he ever touched her again, I would kill him, he knew. He knew that he would never exist for me again. And I'm standing in front of the house, I'm telling her, I'm screaming for her to come out. I'm telling her she doesn't have to - she doesn't have to take it anymore. She really doesn't. She can come with me now. I don't even see it coming. He hits me in the side of the head with a two-by-four, and I'm bleeding from my ear. And then he's dragging me. He's dragging me behind the house and into the garage and then he's gone. A minute. Five minutes. I don't know. And then he's back, and he's wetting me down. He's wetting me down, and I don't understand. I don't understand why water should smell so bad. I don't understand. And then I see it. I see . . . this . . . gas can. This red gas can from his truck. And he looks at me one last time, and he lights a match. And the last thing I remember, and I'll never forget it, were his eyes. His eyes, because they were filled with this . . . immense . . . satisfaction.
[A beat.; He cries. A beat.; A beat.]
Arlene McKinney
I'm so sorry.
Eugene Simonet
Don't. Don't! Don't! Don't tell me how sorry you are for me! Just tell me how you're going to stop it happening to Trevor!
[A beat.]
Arlene McKinney
He would never do that.
Eugene Simonet
Oh, Jesus, Arlene. He doesn't have to. All he has to do is not love him.

Mrs. McKinney, I don't know how your son interpreted the assignment.
Arlene McKinney

Arlene McKinney
Hey! I talked to him.
Eugene Simonet
Really? Then, why did you come all the way down here to ask me what the assignment is? It's not a state secret.

Arlene McKinney
You don't expect them to change the -
Eugene Simonet
Excuse me. It's to get them to think, not walk on water. It's a very good assignment.
Arlene McKinney
You give them an assignment you don't think they can do? What kinda teacher are you?
Eugene Simonet
I didn't say that. You know, they make attempts. Every now and then, they clean up a little graffiti before they lose interest -
Arlene McKinney
Hey! This is my kid. You don't know him. You tell him he can do something, and he's gonna believe you. And when he can't, it's gonna wipe him out. They oughta fire your ass outta here right now.
[A beat.]
Eugene Simonet
Well, they probably won't do that because I fill a very excellent quota. I'm just this side of parking in the blue zone.
Arlene McKinney
Oh, so you think you can do whatever you want just cause your face is messed up?
[A beat.]
Eugene Simonet
Mrs. McKinney, why don't you put down in writing your little and loud complaints, and I'll make sure they get put in the suggestion box.
[A beat.]
Arlene McKinney
Jesus. You are really somethin'.
Eugene Simonet
Thanks. I appreciate the euphemism. I always wanted to be somethin'.

DOROTHY. You took her, you damn THIEF!
Jonas
Oh, I get it. You wanna take credit for my designs, is that it?
[Realizes what Bill is talking about and smiles]
Bill
You're a liar. She was our idea and you know it!
Jonas
Unrealized idea. Unrealized.
Bill
That thing ain't worth shit!
[Tries to attack Jonas again, Jo helps stop it]
Jo
Hey! Hey, guys! Bill! Guys! GUYS!!! Oh my guys! Get a grip on yourselves. We both know they'll never get that thing up in the air.
Joey
That's right!
Jonas
Well, let me enlighten you people. This baby has satellite com-link. We've got an onboard pulse Doppler, and we've got NEXRAD real-time. Today, we're gonna make history. So stick around, cause the days of sniffing the dirt are over.
Rabbit
Better than what you sniff.
Bill
We'll see who gets it first, PAL.
Jonas
Oh, and by the way... I really enjoy your weather reports.
[Referring to Bill's new weatherman job; Laughs and walks away]
Bill
JEEZ, YOU SLIME!!! I'm not through with you, yet!
[Tries to go after Jonas again]
Rabbit
Alright! Alright!
Bill
Come on! Come here! Come on! Come on! Get your hands off of me! Let go of me! OKAY!!!
Sanders
He's a corporate kiss-butt, man!
Jo
I'm sorry. I should've told you.
[Walks to Bill]
Bill
ONE DAY. I'll give you one day. Whether she flies or not, I'm gone.
[Glaring at Jo]
