probably one of them morons
who call it "duck" tape.
Here's the situation, ganja boy.
You had no way of knowing -
- that I was merely an innocent
bystander to all of this.
And you "did" share your stash.
I can appreciate this.
Not to mention the fact -
- that I really don't want to kill you.
I don't even know what I'd
do with you once you were dead.
But I can't just let you go.
So...
I have a dilemma.
What time is it?
Fuck.
Just a minute.
- Hello.
- Mr. Wells.
- Dr. Jarvis, so good to see you again.
- Nice to see you, too.
Won't you come in?
Sorry about that.
I-I couldn't find the key to the door.
- I didn't hear it unlock.
- Oh, that's right.
I didn't find it.
Um, right this way.
So, Mr. Wells, you and your wife -
- would like to adopt the baby.
- Yes, sir. that's right.
- Okay.
Now, you understand the next step
in the adoption proceedings?
Um, yes. We are to be
individually evaluated.
Yes. that's right.
That's why I'm here.
Uh, your wife, of course, -
- has already completed
her evaluation.
She's an extraordinary woman.
Absolutely extraordinary woman.
- Um, shall we begin?
- Sure, yeah. One thing?
Weren't we already evaluated
at the previous screening?
No, that was just
the initial consultation.
This is the individual competency test.
Do you have a problem
with that, Mr. Wells?
No... not really.
Good. Then we can get started.
And what are your
qualifications, Dr. Jarvis?
Are you an M.D... uh...
Are you nervous, Mr. Wells?
No.
Why?
Because what you're
doing is this thing -
- called conversational transference.
Simply means that
you're trying to evade -
- answering my question,
by answering me with questions.
It's something that's
usually indulged in -
- by individuals who are
trying to hide something.
Are you trying to hide
something from me, Mr. Wells?
- No.
- Good.
- Do you currently use drugs?
- No.
Not even Tylenol?
Some... sure.
- Any history of drug use?
- Uh...
A little, I guess.
About as much as anyone
who goes to college.
Justification of drug use.
How about alcohol?
An occasional beer.
You ever been incarcerated
or institutionalized?
- No.
- Any history of mental illness?
No.
You know, there's something
about your application -
- that's very troubling to me.
There's a gap of two,
two and a half years.
I mean...
- It occurs, like, five years ago.
- Yeah.
Can I get you, uh, some iced tea?
- No. No, thank you.
- I'm a little dry.
- Do you mind?
- Oh, no. please, go. Go right ahead.
I asked because
your wife was very vague -
- about what you might have been doing -
- and I was hoping you might be able -
- to shed a little bit
of light on it for me.
Uh... I was in L.A.
Yes, that's just what your wife said.
Could you be a little bit
more specific, though?
Oh, well...
I-I was doing some odd jobs...
- and this and that, you know?
No, I don't know.
Could you elaborate?
Well, I did work
as a mechanic for a while.
Oh, you mean like, for a body shop?
No. I mean like in a performance shop.
- Perf...
- Well, exotics and, uh, rally cars.
Oh. Uh-huh.
You know, I've changed my mind.
I think I would like some iced tea.
I'm sorry.
We're all out of iced tea.
How about a beer? Yeah...
- You don't have anything else?
- No. No, I don't.
This is... This is just about
all that... all that I have.
Chris has been a little busy.
I'm-I'm sorry, Dr. Jarvis.
What-what were you saying?
Oh, I was just asking if you remember
the name of that performance shop.
Uh, Bubba's.
Bubba's?
Bubba's...
Big... Block... Shop.
Do you have a number for Bubba's?
No. No, they're,
uh, out of business.
Could you excuse me, -
- for just a second?
My cat... must have got in...
- got into the garage, -
- and I'll be... be right back.
See these?
Got any idea what
I can do with these?
- Mm-hmm.
- Somehow, I just don't believe you.
Besides, that'd just
make a lot of noise.
Sorry about that, Dr. Jarvis.
- So, where were
