Jesse Larson
- Billy Stone: Can you believe her? She's gonna take my kids back to New York with her.
- Jesse Larson: She's just trying to scare you. You'll work it out, babe.
- Billy Stone: No, those are my kids. Those are my little kids.
- Jade Larson: Billy, it's not the end of the world.
- Billy Stone: So sweet. So innocent, those two.
- Billy Stone: That dress shrink or somethin'?
- Jesse Larson: Calm down. It's supposed to be tight.
- Billy Stone: I thought you were the caterer, not the entertainment.
- Jesse Larson: Billy, lay off. I gotta hurry. I gotta help Teak load up the van.
- Billy Stone: What time you guys gonna be home?
- Jesse Larson: I don't know. We have to clean up after, probly midnight.
- Billy Stone: Oh, I hate it when you're gone.
- Jesse Larson: You'll survive. You're gonna like this, Molly.
- [hands Molly plate of food]
- Molly Stone: I only eat cheesewiches.
- Jesse Larson: Ah, come on, taste it. You can't live on cheesewiches.
- Molly Stone: No, thank you.
- Jade Larson: I'll fix her a cheesewich.
- Jesse Larson: Eh - Jade, please stay out of this.
- Jesse Larson: I've prepared this dinner for you, and you're gonna eat it.
- Billy Stone: Look, if she wants a damn cheesewich, she can have a cheesewhich.
- Jade Larson: I'll do it, Billy.
- Jesse Larson: Jade, sit.
- Jade Larson: I was only trying to help.
- Jesse Larson: Okay, I give up. I'll fix a cheesewich.
- Billy Stone: No, I know how she likes it.
- [sees Jesse getting irritated]
- Billy Stone: What the hell's the matter with you?
- Jesse Larson: I can't even fix a cheesewich that's good enough for your kids.
- Billy Stone: Teak! Don't let her flirt with anybody.
- Teak: Oh, Billy, you spoil all the fun.
- Billy Stone: Get home early.
- Jesse Larson: I'll do my best.
- Billy Stone: Do better than that.
- Jesse Larson: Please, God in Heaven, a big, white room. No men, no kids, no pets, not even a house plant.
- Teak: Oh, don't complain. He's adorable.
- Jesse Larson: And sexy and hip.
- Teak: And he's young.
- Jesse Larson: And he loves me. I really think he loves me. How did I get myself into this? All those years was just me and Jade to worry about, and now, I 've got a-a warden, and his kids, and his ex-wife...
- Teak: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The sex is good, right?
- Jesse Larson: Oh, God. The sex is fantastic. But, it's constant. He never gets enough.
- Teak: Do me a favor, rent him out.
- Jesse Larson: At last.
- Teak: Hi, babe. So, how's your job?
- Jade Larson: My job sucks.
- Jesse Larson: Where have you been?
- Jade Larson: Uh, it was Art Day, today. I had to help Mrs. Simmons clean up.
- Jesse Larson: Well, when I called down there, they said you'd left early.
- Jade Larson: Well, they don't pay me, so they don't even look.
- Jesse Larson: Well, maybe you forgot that you promised you'd come right home and help make these deliveries. Billy's completely outta cookies. We've got a party tonight, and I -
- [notices Jade sharing a cookie with Otis]
- Jesse Larson: Honey, don't do that, you don't know where he's been.
- Jade Larson: Dogs are cleaner than humans. Mmm. These are good cookies, Mom. The best.
- Jesse Larson: Right. Don't take anymore. We need every one. Are you using that stuff on your face that the doctor gave you?
- Jade Larson: Ugh! Don't do that! I hate it when you examine me.
- Jesse Larson: Well, I pay all this money to a dermatologist, you could at least use the medicine.
- Jade Larson: Nag, nag, nag, nag.
- [walks out of kitchen]
- Jesse Larson: Jade, the dog! You know I don't like the dog in here when I'm baking! Okay, what do I do?
- Teak: Buy a gun.
- Jesse Larson: And who do I shoot first? Me or her?
- Billy Stone: Get the hell over here.
- Jesse Larson: You know, I don't think that she should go parading around in front of you in her underwear.
- Billy Stone: Who's talkin'? You don't even wear underwear.
- Jesse Larson: I'm serious. I'm worried about her. She seems so... lost, you kn - you're naked.
- Billy Stone: Look, will you relax? I was under the sheets. She never even knew. Now, come here. All night long, I've been thinkin' about you takin' off that dress. Oh, Jess, you gotta marry me.
- Jesse Larson: No, no, no, no, no. Don't start that.
- Billy Stone: Come on!
- Jesse Larson: No, don't start.
- Billy Stone: My kids love you.
- Jesse Larson: They do not love me. They want you and their mom to get back together. Well, it's only natural. It's okay.
- Billy Stone: Maybe you don't want my kids.
- Jesse Larson: It's not just about your kids, Billy. I want things to be right for Jade, too.
- Billy Stone: So, what's the big deal? I love Jade.
- Jesse Larson: I love her, too. More than anything in this world. You have to know that. Maybe I'm just not ready to start it all over again. When I was married to Les, I kept thinking, "This it it." You know? "It's never gonna change." And then, when I got the divorce, I - I felt like a person. Independent. Like it was, Jade and me... against the world.
- Billy Stone: So, are you and Jade gonna live together forever? Well, what happens when Jade goes and gets married?
- Jesse Larson: Well, she'll go off and have her own life, and I'll be free to have mine.
- Billy Stone: You shut up and rub my back.
- Jesse Larson: Billy, I'm getting really tired of rubbing your back.
- Billy Stone: Come on! Rub my back, or I'm gonna kill ya.
- Denise: You're awful young. Fifteen.
- Jesse Larson: Sixteen.
- Denise: Yeah, I mean, sixteen. You're young. But, I - this kind of thing happens to everybody. We can all get carried away. Um, wanna tell me about this kid?
- Jesse Larson: He's not a kid. He's older.
- Denise: Mmm. Older. How much older?
- Jesse Larson: He's married. He's got children.
- Denise: Wait a minute. You know what this is? Statutory rape.
- Jesse Larson: Daddy, I don't wanna make a big thing of this.
- Denise: What the hell's your mother been doin'? She blind or something?
- Jesse Larson: She doesn't know what happened. She has know idea.
- Denise: She's supposed to be lookin' out for you. I send money to pay her for taking care of you.
- Jesse Larson: No, Daddy, don't get crazy! Anyway, you never send the money.
- Denise: Alright, let's go.
- Jesse Larson: What? Where are we going?
- Jade Larson: Is Billy gonna go to jail? Because I don't think that's right.
- Lawyer: He could do it again to somebody else. His own children.
- Jade Larson: No, he would never hurt his own children. Never. Believe me, he's good with his kids. And, he's funny, and, like, if he sees a piece of broken glass on the beach he always picks it up, so somebody doesn't come along and get hurt or something.
- Lawyer: The fact that he's a good father could be taken into consideration. His lawyer could get the charge reduced to sexual battery. He'd probably get a year's probation and therapy.
- Les Larson: Yeah, well, I say fry'em.
- Jade Larson: Daddy, he had a really bad childhood. Nobody wanted him.
- Les Larson: You think my childhood was so great?
- Jesse Larson: It's not gonna help anybody to send him to jail. He's outta the house. I threw him outta the house, so there's no reason that Jade can't come home with me.
- Les Larson: That's up to Jade.
- Lawyer: What about it Jade?... Jade?
- Jade Larson: I wanna stay with my dad.
- Jesse Larson: We're gonna be kinda late. We have to clean up after, and then Teak wants to take me for a drink to celebrate. There's pizza. All you have to do is warm it up. Take care of Billy, okay?
- Jade Larson: I'm going over to Horizon's.
- Jesse Larson: Do me a favor and stay here with Billy. He hates to be alone. It helps when you're here, then he doesn't get so uptight at me for leaving.
- Jade Larson: What if I don't wanna stay here with Billy?
- Jesse Larson: What is it with you? He gave you a great necklace today.
- Jade Larson: Oh, really? Well, he gives you a ton of stuff. He doesn't just give you one thing.
- Jesse Larson: Is that why you're moping, Jade? You two have a very special friendship. I'm gonna be his wife. There's a difference. It was very sweet of him to give you that necklace. I know you feel lonely and left out. I just wanna tell you that someday, you'll look back on all these problems that seem so big now and you'll laugh.
- Jade Larson: I don't think so, Mom.
- Billy Stone: The sheets are clean, right?
- Jade Larson: Yeah, the sheets are clean. Your kids won't get any of my terrible diseases.
- Billy Stone: Look at you, sweetheart.
- Jesse Larson: Look at this place. You don't pick anything up.
- [finds carton of cigarettes]
- Jade Larson: Ugh.
- Jesse Larson: Oh my God, Jade. You smoke.
- Jade Larson: No, I don't smoke. Those are Horizon's.
- Jesse Larson: Do you have any idea what these cigarettes do to your asthma? It's just so stupid.
- Jade Larson: Mom, I told you, their Horizon's.
- Billy Stone: Shh! You guys are gonna wake up my kids.
- Jesse Larson: Jade, you can put clean sheets on the bed for Billy's kids, and you won't clean up your room for me? It's a pigsty in there.
- Jade Larson: There's nothing wrong with a pigsty. I get so tired of people saying mean things about pigs. Anyway, it's my room.
- Jesse Larson: It is my house, and unfortunately, I am not a pig. And if you want to live here, you better shape up or...
- Jade Larson: Or what? Go live with my dad?
- Jesse Larson: No, I wasn't gonna say that.
- Jade Larson: That's just the way I remember it. I was about three years old, and I was standing on the lawn, and you and Daddy were looking at me, and you said to choose which one I wanted to go with. You didn't care about me.
- Jesse Larson: No, that - that - You dreamed that, Jade. That never happened. I - I never gave ya an option.
- Jade Larson: Oh, come on, you had to get married.
- Jesse Larson: I was pregnant, yes.
- Jade Larson: Well, maybe you should've gotten abortion. Then, you wouldn't have to deal with me.
- [leaves]
- Jesse Larson: Jade, I love you. You know, I love you. I just don't know what to say anymore. Everything makes you mad.
- Billy Stone: I'll handle it.
- Jesse Larson: Jade!
- Jade Larson: I'm late.
- Jesse Larson: I-I made these cookies for the kids at day care. The dinosaur cookies. What's wrong?
- Jade Larson: I have a headache.
- Jesse Larson: Oh, baby.
- [hugs Jade]
- Jade Larson: You smell so good, Mama. You always smell so good.
- Jesse Larson: Oh, it's cookie dough. I always smell of cookie dough. Have you been crying, baby?
- Jade Larson: Mm-hmm. I'm just allergic.
- Jesse Larson: Your asthma?
- Jade Larson: No, it's not my asthma.
- Jesse Larson: Jade, don't get so angry. I'm just concerned, that's all. I need to talk to you.
- Jade Larson: What about?
- Jesse Larson: About Billy.
- Jade Larson: What about Billy?
- Jesse Larson: He's been after me to get married for a long time now, and I wonder how you'd feel about that. I don't think it's the right message to be living with him like this in front of you. Would you feel better, I mean, if we were married? If you had a real stepdad? Official?
- Jade Larson: He's never gonna be like a stepdad.
- Jesse Larson: Because he's young?
- Jade Larson: No, not because he's young. It's just he doesn't seem like a stepdad.
- Jesse Larson: He loves you so much. He really does.
- Jade Larson: I don't care if you do.
- Jesse Larson: Jade! You love Billy, don't you?
- Jade Larson: Yeah, I guess.
