He seems to be trying to recover psychologically from something, and he comes across as a bit manic and unhinged. We soon learn that he is separated from his wife, who cheated on him in the not-so-distant past and who will not see him after he caught her cheating and almost killed the other man in a blind rage hence the inpatient care.
We also learn that he is bipolar and does not seem particularly invested in his treatment for that. He seems much more focused, in a delusionally positive way, on getting in shape and winning his wife back. At the same time, he meets Tiffany Jennifer Lawrence , a young widow who has recently lost her job. We eventually learn that, after her husband died, she began compulsively sleeping with many of her office mates, which led to her firing.
We also learn that she and her husband had been having problems in the bedroom, and he died in a car accident while buying her some lingerie. Tiffany takes an interest in Pat and starts following him on his daily runs. At first he resents the pestering, and in the following clip, he becomes so frustrated with her that he calls her a slut. He then apologizes. And here is the exchange that follows upon that. With all the other parts of myself.
Can you say the same about yourself, fucker? Can you forgive? Are you any good at that? When I watched this part in the theater, I sat up and paid attention. She has some distance from this past, as well as a bit of perspective on it. And she offers a brief glimpse into how she is making peace with her pain and her past sins: she owns her past behavior, distances herself from that behavior, but then she also accepts her past self as an enduring part of who she is, and she seems to be at peace, or at least headed there.
They seemed to me to signal her desire to forgive herself for her past after honest self-acknowledgement and in the midst of intense grieving , and the implication seems to be that Pat needs to start looking at himself in the same way. I find this idea particularly meaningful given that the entire community in the film seems to know about her meltdown and her sleeping around. Everybody is gossiping about her, and some men like the cop still make overtures to sleep with her when she is particular distressed.
She is widowed, has unresolved grief in relation to her former husband, and she has no job. She has been stripped of any icon of status. Everybody in the town wants to other her as a whore.
Tiffany : It can still be a date if you order raisin bran. Pat : Wait, what's this? Tiffany : I thought you were doing it. Pat : I thought you were doing it. Pat : This is what I learned at the hospital. You have to do everything you can, you have to work your hardest, and if you do, if you stay positive, you have a shot at a silver lining. Tiffany : You know, I used to think that you were the best thing that ever happened to me, but now I think that you might maybe be the worst thing. And I'm sorry that I ever met you.
Pat : Good for you. Come on, let's go dance. Tiffany : You let me lie to you for a week? Pat : I was trying to be romantic. Pat : How old are you? Tiffany : Old enough to have a marriage end and not wind up in a mental hospital. Tiffany : You love me? Pat : Yeah, I do. Tiffany : Okay. Pat : You have poor social skills.
You have a problem. Tiffany : I have a problem? You say more inappropriate things than appropriate things. Pat : Hey, my friend Ronnie is having this party on Sunday night and it's like a real hoity-toity thing. And his wife Veronica is a real stickler for I don't know. My mom got this Gap outfit she wants me to wear, but I want to wear a jersey that my brother Jake got me from the Eagles.
Cliff Patel : Which jersey? Pat : DeSean Jackson. Cliff Patel : DeSean Jackson is the man. Pat : Well, that settles that. Officer Keogh : Hey, aren't you Tommy's widow? Tiffany : Yes, I'm Tommy's crazy whore widow.
Minus the whore thing, for the most part. Officer Keogh : You want to get a drink sometime? Pat : You shouldn't say that to her. She doesn't do that anymore.
Officer Keogh : What? What did I say? Pat : She doesn't do that anymore. Pat : You look nice. Tiffany : Thank you. Pat : Oh, I'm not flirting with you. Tiffany : Oh, I didn't think you were.
Pat : I just see that you made an effort, and I'm gonna be better with my wife. I'm working on that. I wanna acknowledge her beauty. I never used to do that. I do now. Just practicing. How'd Tommy die? Tiffany : Hey! Pat : What the fuck? I'm married! Tiffany : So am I! Pat : What the fuck are you doing?
Your husband's dead! Tiffany : Where's your wife? Pat : You're crazy! Tiffany : I'm not the one who just got out of that hospital in Baltimore. Pat : I'm not the big slut! I'm sorry I'm sorry. Tiffany : I was a big slut, but I'm not any more. There's always going to be a part of me that's sloppy and dirty, but I like that. With all the other parts of myself. Can you say the same about yourself fucker?
