MEL We had you over for dinner.

PAUL This is inappropriate, Mel.

MEL Don’t “appropriate” me. We’re going to lose our house.

PAUL You won’t.

MEL I quit my job. When we started on the development, I quit my job so I could help him. We have nothing coming in, Paul.

PAUL I’m sorry.

MEL Nothing.

PAUL I know. And that’s why the bank called in the loan.

MEL You called it in.

PAUL No, I didn’t.

MEL You called him into your office. You told him--...

Our house, Paul.

(a beat)

I thought you were a friend.

PAUL You should go home.

Paul heads for his car.

MEL He cried. When he got home today, he f##king cried. In front of my f##king kid. In front of his son. He wouldn’t like me telling you that--

PAUL No, he wouldn’t.

MEL But he did. What about my kids, Paul?

PAUL Goodnight, Mel.

MEL What about them?

PAUL They’ll be fine.

MEL They play with your kids.

PAUL I know.

MEL You want them to starve?

PAUL They won’t.

MEL What am I going to feed them?

PAUL I don’t believe Derek is going to let that happen.

MEL What is he supposed to do. You call in the loans. You shut down his business. The houses are two-thirds up. Two of them, and the third is on its way. That’s money. That’s money we spent. That you’re taking away.
