Yeah.
That was in the walls.
- Yeah, it was.
- Ghosts are in the walls, right? - Yeah.
- Don't ghosts go in walls? That's true.
All right, so I got to ask you a question, and I need a serious answer.
That old man what do you think? Like, was he real? He never spoke.
Think about it.
I know it seems strange, but, you know, just because he didn't talk doesn't mean he's a ghost.
- [SIGHS.]
- He could have been a ghoul.
A ghoul? What's the difference? A ghoul wants to eat your soul.
[RUMBLING CONTINUES.]
None of this would be happening if Carmen was here.

Now you think your career's winding down, the boys are growing up, doing their own thing, and if we're being honest, there's a little distance with Carmen.
I can see how you want to, like, create a distraction from all of that, but don't let it snowball into something more than it needs to be.
Why do you got to put all this in my head now? What'd you have, a fortune cookie at lunch? - I'm going now, all right? - No, no.

It's a whole new fuckin' generation, here.
Look at this over here.
You know, today, they shave it down to fucking street level.
It's like going down on cactus, you know what I mean? Like walking into somebody's house, and there's no pictures.
You know, some decoration.
You know, you look out your house, you don't want desertscape.
You want some grass.
You want some flowers, you know what I mean? Not just clean.
[FOLK MUSIC.]
Cigarette? You know what it is? You're probably sitting here going, "Why would a guy like me try to help you out, right?" Now, think about it, I'm the nicest guy in the world, I see a guy like you, and in certain ways, I see myself, you know what I mean? You know, I'm gonna get older.
You know, all of a sudden you're you're irrelevant, nobody cares, nobody loves you anymore.
I mean, in a lot ways, Paulie, me and you? We're the same, me and you.
We got a lot in common.
I saw it the minute I Hey! Oh, shit, Paulie.
Your son.
Get down.
He's looking for you.
Hey! Hey! Stop! Get back! [ROCK MUSIC.]
ANDREW: Don't worry about anything.
Richard's never getting his hands on you again.
I'll make sure to that.
But we got to lay low for a while.
You got a passport? Guys your age allowed to fly? You go on planes? Wait, I got it.
I got it.
My girlfriend, Carmen, has this apartment, right? I don't want her to have the apartment, but she keeps it.
She gets that Airbnb money, but she ain't there right now, so I could put you there.
Come on in.
Okay.
Here we are.
Nice right? This is your safe house.
Nobody can touch you here, Paulie.
I think we can find a blanket around here, right? Keep you warm, relaxed Take a look around.
We could try to, uh, find something for you eat.
You like soup? [URINE TRICKLES.]
[CARMEN SCREAMING.]
CARMEN: What the fuck are you doing here? What am I doing here? What are you doing here? [SOFTLY.]
And who the hell is that? Oh, this is my friend, Paulie.
We're we're on the lam.
You know what? I don't even want to know, okay? C-Can you guys just go? Oh, don't make believe you're gonna win this argument.
You're supposed to be in Dallas.
I didn't go to Dallas, okay? My real-estate conference got canceled, so I decided to come here instead.
And what do you do here? Honestly, I needed a break from you.
Not in a bad way.
It's just I'm exhausted.
You've been You've been a lot to deal with lately, okay? Like, more than usual.
So, you just come here to chill? - Yeah.
- And what do you do? I don't know.
I'll take a bath, I'll read a book, watch my shows, the kind of shows I like, you know, where where people with British accents get fingered in carriages, not the kind of shows that you want to watch where people get their faces blown off with machine guns.
All right, Carm, I get it.
Okay, Carm.
You needed a weekend.
I understand.
But now part of that weekend includes my buddy Paulie.
It's like I told you he's with us now.
He's easy to take care of.
A little orange juice, some rye toast with a little jelly that kind of thing.
He'll like the shows you like.
Whaddya say? [SIGHS.]
That didn't go so well.
We'll go back to the house and regroup.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
[FUNK MUSIC.]
Now, listen, this is the strategy 'cause I'm a thinker.
You're gonna sleep in my room in my bed, and this way, if he shows up, Paulie, I put you in the crawl space.
You understand? Be careful there.
RICHARD: Hey.
There you are.
Thank God you're okay.
Get over here.
That guy's okay.
Look at Like you care! Of course I care! He's my father! You keep him in a room like an animal! What, do you think I didn't see that? Do you know Indians, okay, like authentic Native-American Indians, honor their senior citizens their wisdom, their strength.
You should take special care of this man.
I know all that.
I understand all that.
But listen to me my father is a registered sex offender.
What? Yeah.
He's a sex offender.
I mean, I love him, but he's a danger to children.
I got to keep him under house arrest.
That's why I lock him in his room.
It's either that or jail.
Well, how am I supposed to know? T-They should give 'em, like, a-a a pin or a badge or something, right? Maybe.
I don't know.
Look, it's not easy being the son of a sex offender, okay? I'm just doing my best here.
[GASPS.]
My How can you do this to me? You're my Paulie.
- Who's Paulie? - Him! Him? No, his name's Chester.
Ches How is this possible? After everything we did together, the candy, the balloons, I let you touch my garbage.
Shame on me! Paulie, I got to be honest with you, you know, you've ruined it for all the other old guys.
I'm never gonna do this again.
It's a little bit upsetting.
But he's still your father, and you should take care of this guy.
Yep, he's still my dad.
It's a constant disappointment.
Listen, do you mind if I, uh, have a little talk with Paulie alone? Okay.
Paulie, come over here.
- [TOILET FLUSHES.]
- This is for all those kids, Paulie! This is for all those kids, you understand? [GROANS.]
[GUNSHOTS.]
