I have a perfect memory, Kevin. You came, you saw, he's completely out of your league now. Arthur, throw the trash out. I'll see myself out, Mr. Ashcroft.
That parasite comes again? He's been standing at the gate for 20 minutes. Refuses to leave. Who's outside?
Nobody important, darling. Just a stray dog. Keep painting. Tell Dorian.
Do you still dare to come? Are you deaf? Or just fucking stupid? Ashcroft, I mean no harm.
I just wanted to... Wanted to what? Look at my husband? Breathe the same air as him?
I care about him. Let me remind you of your memory. You left him in the cold. and you took my money to disappear I had my reasons I was desperate I don't give

This maggot comes within 500 yards of my property again. Break both his legs and throw him in the river. Yes, boss. Where did you go?
Taking out the trash. Trash? Are you mad? Your face looks so scary. I'm not mad anymore.
Looking at you fixes everything. Hey, buddy. I think you've had enough. You're cutting into my business.
poor me another one keep them coming rough night man let me guess someone broke your heart forget him this city is full of easy shut your mouth don't you dare talk about Kevin, are you okay? Kevin! The doctor said I'm a tough boy. I'm totally fine.
Why are you crying? It doesn't hurt at all. Don't cry. I protected you. Because you are my whole world. Kevin, look! I finished another one! You promised when I make a hundred lucky bracelets, you'll put a real ring on my finger and we'll get
Yeah, sure. You just keep braiding them, Elias. bartender have you ever thrown something away thinking it was just a piece of only to realize later it was the most precious thing in your miserable life it depends on what it is pal
years ago a car was coming right at me he pushed me out of the way he took the hit he got damaged because of me he waited for me he made me these stupid bracelets and what did I do I sold him I sold the only person who ever gave a shit about me for 200 grand I didn't just throw away a I threw away the only person who loved me unconditionally.
I'm a fucking monster! Well, realization isn't it. But crying in a dive bar won't change a thing. He's probably living in a penthouse while you're drowning in cheap whiskey.
Pay your tab and get the hell out. We're closing. I lost him. Forever. 87. I made 87. Why are you making so many of these?
I promised someone before, if I braid a hundred lucky bracelets, we would get I promised him, but I didn't finish, and I married you instead. Does that make me a bad person? The man you promised? Is it Kevin?
I promised him a hundred bracelets, and then a wedding, but I only got to 87, and Serena sent me to the house. You braided 87. How many did he braid for you? He didn't have to. I was the one who promised. You promised him bracelets. What did he promise you? He said he would marry me when I finished. Where was he when your grandmother
in the hospital? Serena said he was on a business trip. A business trip? They were plug on your grandma's meds you were crying alone in the hallway and he was on a trip elias do you know how long you waited in the cold outside that courthouse from morning to afternoon you waited all day he didn't show up he didn't call his phone
was off what do you call that maybe maybe he was really busy elias he and serena planned it together you were sold to me that's how much you were worth to him You're lying to me, right? When have I ever lied to you, baby?
I'm so stupid. I'm a joke. You are not stupid. You just gave your beautiful heart to the wrong piece of trash. What about you? Are you going to throw me away too?
I searched for you for ten years. Not three times. Ten years. Every single day.
You said that before, but I don't understand. Why were you looking for me? I'll give you that answer when you're ready But tonight, I need you to remember one thing
What? You are the one who was betrayed, baby Not him It was always you who deserved better
And now you have me Dorian Then these bracelets, they belong to you now That man, who is he?
He's my husband, Dorian Dorian. Grandma, I'm Dorian. Elias, the medical bills. Did he pay for all of this? He treats me so well, Grandpa. I'm lying here, completely useless, dragging you down with me. No! As long as you get better, nothing else matters. Young man,
come closer. My grandson has been bullied his whole life. No father, no mother. He doesn't know how to sweet-talk, and he can't read the room. Do you despise him for being simple? Never. He is perfect to me.
What about the future? There is no future without him. I will never despise him. I've lived a long time. I can spot a fake a mile away. I know who's real and who's acting.
Elias, listen to me. Yes, Grandpa. The man who treats you with unconditional love, that. is the man you belong to.
Forget the rest of the trash. They aren't worth your memory. This man right here pulled me back from death's door. If you don't hold on to him,
I won't rest in peace, even in my grave. I will, Grandma. I promise. I choose him. I am giving him to you.
If you ever betray him, I will curse you from the grave. That day will never come. You have my word.
Darren. Yeah? Grandma is right. I used to be so confused about who actually cared about me, but now I see it perfectly. You are my family now. Grandma is my family and you are too.
