Raymond

I knew I smelled you. The ****, Scott?

Scott

What?

Raymond

Huh? What, are you spying on me now? You Magnum, P.I.?

Scott

What?!

Raymond

Telling your mom that I'm homeless? You think it's funny to tell her that I'm a loser?!

Scott

What are you talking... No. What?!

Raymond

What do you mean, what am I talking about?! You've been speak... You talking to my ex-wife?!

Scott

Uh, yeah. She's actually a really nice person.

Raymond

Oh, is she?! Why don't you marry her?!

Scott

Yeah.

Raymond

Why don't you marry her and see what the **** happens?!

Scott

Hey, I'm just trying to protect my mom from you, okay?! You're a **** psychopath!

Raymond

Oh, I'm a psychopath?!

Scott

Yeah.

Raymond

I've been nothing but nice to you! I tried giving you direction. You're too busy smoking your **** weed. And all you've been doing is trying to destroy everything that I have with Margie.

Scott

Because you're a **** loser, dude! You're a, you're a degenerate gambler in your-your mid-50s, who bets on the Jets! Uh, who... Have you not learned anything about betting?!

Raymond

The Jets are gonna come back!

Scott

No, they're not! They got three number one **** picks! They're never gonna come back! They're never gonna come back!

Raymond

I'm trying to give your mother a good life!

Scott

I... No, you're not, okay? You're a piece of shit, dude. You're a **** drug addict!

Raymond

I'm a piece of shit?!

Scott

Yeah, you're a piece of shit!

Raymond

I'm a **** loser?! You're the biggest loser I ever met in my **** life!

Scott

Oh, really? You should know.

Raymond

Yeah?!

Scott

Yeah!

Raymond

You surround yourself with them!

Scott

Oh, yeah? Why don't you try me?

Raymond

Oh, really?

Scott

Why don't you try me?!

Raymond

Yeah, yeah, yeah... This ain't gonna go how you think it's gonna go! So why don't you get the **** out of my... Really?! [Shoves Scott and knocking him to the ground]

Scott

**** asshole! [Gets up and lunges at Raymond]

Raymond

Throw a **** punch at me?!

Scott

Oh, yeah.

Raymond

Huh? You gonna cool off?! Come here, ****! You gonna cool off?! I'll **** cool you off. Yeah, I'll **** cool you off! [Picks up Scott and throws him into the pool]

Raymond

Hey, you cool off now?! You're in there 'cause of your own actions!

Scott

Are you kidding me?! I'm gonna tell my mom you tried to drown me!

Raymond

In an aboveground pool?! You're, like, **** eight feet tall!

Scott

You're lucky my dad isn't here! He would kick your ass!

Raymond

Oh, yeah? Well, guess what, I knew your dad! Okay?!

Scott

Yeah?!

Raymond

Yeah, I crossed paths with him a number of times! And you know what? He was even a bigger asshole than you are! [Scott gets out of pool and lunges at Raymond, throwing a punch with Raymond grabbing Scott around waist, grappling him and maneuvering him to the ground] All right, that's it, that's it! It's over! It's over. Huh?! Huh?! You like that?! You like that?!

Scott

Ow. Jesus! **** asshole!

Raymond

Come on, tap out! Tap out!

Scott

**** you! No! Get me out! Let me out! No! No! Let me out! Oh, my God! Get me out!

Margie

What's the matter with you?!

Scott

He's a psycho.

Raymond

No. We're just talking!

Margie

About what?!

Raymond

About him telling you lies about me.

Scott

He's an animal. He picked me up and he threw me in the pool. All right? He has to go.

Margie

No, I need you to go. Now.

Scott

What? Why-why me? He-he's the one who started it.

Raymond

Yeah, that's right. Get the hell out of here. And get a job and a life while you're at it. Your freeloading days are over.

Margie

You, too. Get going.

Raymond

Wait, what did I do?!

Margie

You put your hands on my son! You're not respecting my family!

Scott

You're an animal!

Raymond

Look, okay, just listen. Just calm down.

Margie

I don't have to calm down! What are... You're attacking my son! And you're, and you're making up lies! You made... You tricked me into thinking you're a good guy! You're not a good guy!

Raymond

Right. Mm-hmm.

Margie

You're a **** small guy.

Raymond

Margie, Margie, just let me explain this to you. Just let me talk to you, okay?

Margie

You are not in control of me!

Raymond

Okay, okay, listen, all right? Okay, you don't have all the information you need. All right? Scott is acting out 'cause he's afraid to move on with his life. It's no different than when the Boston Red Sox finally won a World Series, okay?

Margie

Oh, my God.

Raymond

They had, they had to get to a point where-where they believed, okay?

Margie

Just shut up.

Raymond

All-all...

Margie

Shut the **** up.

Raymond

All I did was just ask him a question, and he flipped out. So I put him in the water, which is soft. I diffused the situation. It was what-what m-my training's all about. I-I wa... I was totally diffusing the situation.

Margie

Do you ever shut up?! Do you ever just shut the **** up?! You just talk and you talK and you talk and you don't know what you're saying. It makes no sense. It's like you picked up all these little pieces of information from all over. They don't make any sense. They're fragments. No sense. Nonsense.

Raymond

I-I'm not talking.

Margie

I've had it up to here. I'm done. Both of you, get your shit out of here! [She turns and walks away]

Raymond

Margie. Oh, ****.

Scott

Well... Well, where do we go now?!

Raymond

What are you asking me for?! You created this whole mess, you **** schmuck.
