- Matt Hendricks: Laura? Is that you?
- [Matt sees Gary sitting in his chair]
- Matt Hendricks: Laura? Who are you?
- Gary Nicholson: I'm a friend of Laura's.
- Matt Hendricks: How did you get in here? Where's Laura?
- Gary Nicholson: You don't need to worry about Laura anymore, Matt. I'm taking care of her now. I'm taking care of Josh too.
- Matt Hendricks: Look. I don't who you are or what you want, but I want you out of here.
- Gary Nicholson: That son of yours is a hell of a kid. But then you wouldn't know, would you? You've been too busy with your job, too busy screwing around.
- Matt Hendricks: I want you to leave, please.
- Gary Nicholson: A beautiful woman like Laura needs a real man. Somebody that she can count on, someone who appreciates her, someone like me.
- Matt Hendricks: You don't know what the hell you're talking about.
- Gary Nicholson: Oh no?
- [Gary gets up and approaches Matt threateningly. Matt recoils]
- Gary Nicholson: I made love to Laura last night. And one thing I can tell you, it was better than she ever got from you.
- Matt Hendricks: Okay, pal, get outta here.
- Gary Nicholson: Laura's mine now. She wants you out of her life for good starting right now, you got that?
- Matt Hendricks: What?
- Gary Nicholson: You heard me. I want you to leave this town. You're never gonna see Laura and Josh again.
- Matt Hendricks: [Matt don't agree with Gary. He's a liar] You're nuts. You stay away from my family.
- [Matt approaches the telephone]
- Matt Hendricks: Now, if you don't get the hell out of here in two seconds, I'm calling the police, you got that?
- [Matt starts dialing and call the police Gary draws a gun and points it at Matt]
- Gary Nicholson: Put it down, now.
- [Matt complies]
- Gary Nicholson: I-- I don't want to hurt you, Matt. You're Josh's dad, he's my little buddy, but-- you give me no choice.
- Matt Hendricks: Look, you don't wanna do anything right now. You don't wanna hurt Josh's dad, right?
- Gary Nicholson: [raises his voice angrily] You call yourself a dad? A dad is someone who's always there for his kids, somebody who teaches him how to throw a baseball, how to catch a fish. But you never had the time, did you? Did you?
- Matt Hendricks: Right, right, no, you're right.
- Gary Nicholson: That's why I'm taking over. That's why I have to do this.
- Matt Hendricks: Laura, get back, he's got a gun!
- [Matt struggles with Gary. Gary shoots, injuring Matt. Laura rushes to Matt, but Gary pulls her away]
- Gary Nicholson: No, get away from him. You don't need him anymore. I'm taking care of you now.
- Laura Hendricks: [yells] You bastard, you maniac!
- [Laura struggles and gets herself free. She rushes to Matt and kneels near him]
- Laura Hendricks: Matt? Matt?
- [Matt grunts]
- Laura Hendricks: Oh, my god, are you hurt, you've been shot, Matt.
- [Laura picks the phone and dials]
- Gary Nicholson: [mutters to himself] It's always the same, no matter what I do.
- Laura Hendricks: [on phone] I need an ambulance right away. My husband's been shot.
- Gary Nicholson: I took care of you, Laura.
- Laura Hendricks: [on phone] 9736 Elm Street.
- Gary Nicholson: I took care of you.
- [Laura turns her head toward Gary]
- Gary Nicholson: That dog, the mechanic, that teacher... I got rid of that teacher for you!
- Laura Hendricks: [shocked] Oh, no! Please, no.
- Gary Nicholson: I love you. Why isn't that enough? I spun straw into gold for you. I spun straw into gold.
- [Gary leaves, dropping the gun at the doorway]
