Hows your client now . Hows his State Of Mind . Not good. Jimmy, where jim i was with him that morning he was shot. In his mind, he was ready to give up. I said, you know, alex, theres an end to this, and theres a life beyond this. And you need to be here for your family, and buster loves you, and, you know, we all support you 100 . And he told me that he had an Opioid Addiction and that he had been struggling with it for many, many years and it was very expensive. Alex murdaughs speaking for the first time in weeks, this time from a savannah hospital bed. The patriarch of the family making Big Decisions as he recovers from a gunshot wound. The murders of my wife and son have caused an incredibly difficult time in my life. Ive made a lot of decisions that i truly regret. Im resigning from my law firm and entering rehab after a long battle thats been exacerbated by these murders. After alex was shot, first thing he did was admit that he had an Opioid Addiction and a problem and then went immediately to rehab. Does he have to stay within the state . He can go to the Rehab Facility where hes admitted. And he has to stay there and cant leave. Okay. And then come back to South Carolina. Is he going home with you guys . Hes going straight back to rehab. The murder of his son and wife 90 days ago took a tremendous toll on him. Most people couldnt get through that. He got through it with the use of opioids. That hole, that void just keeps getting bigger, and you feel for the family. You know, i felt sorry for him. I feel like he didnt want to live anymore. With maggie and paul gone. To lose your wife and son, nobody deserves that. For you to get to that point to want to take your life, you are at rock bottom. Thats what the drugs do. I did not know that he was an addict. I mean, none of my friends and family knew when i was deep down in that rabbit hole either. Theres a couple places that youre going to be. Youll be in jail, dead, or wishing you were dead. Ive been doing a lot of thinking, just about taking all these pills and how that all started. I mean, this goes back 20 years. I know maggie told you she had a real hard time when we moved to hampton. And why. And thats generating some bitter [ bleep ] feelings. Whether maggie knew he had an Opioid Addiction or not, i dont know. Theres so many questions still out there about their relationship. There may have been difficulty in their marriage. Ive heard through various rumors and sources that maggie may not have been really living at the Main Property with him, that she may have been in the edisto property. People whove spoken to me say they believe that alex had a mistress. Rumor is that she wanted a divorce, and why did she want a divorce . Theres so much misinformation out there and [ bleep ] can you run [ bleep ] maggie and alex being estranged, theres nothing further from the truth. After the boating accident, maggie felt uncomfortable in hampton, and she preferred, you know, to distance herself from the small community. And so she was spending time at edisto. They were communicating in very loving fashion, jokes with each other, sign off at night, i love you, i love you more. They were close, always, you know, hugging each other. You know, they were out there at kids sporting events. They were active parents. You could tell just the interaction between the two, that they loved each other. They met in college. Randy, his dad, told me alex had met somebody and he was chasing her. When he met maggie, the world stopped, and he was Head Over Heels in love with her. From what i knew, there were no problems. But who does know whats going on Behind Closed Doors or whatever . I think they loved each other. I dont know that they were in love with each other, but they were both very much in love with how they were viewed in society. You know, their family and their name and their power. What we can say about Alex Murdaugh right now is that he was addicted, whether he was addicted to opioids or was he just addicted to money. But how far was he willing to go to keep his lifestyle, to keep that murdaugh name front and center . 911, where is your emergency . 4147 moselle road. Whats going on out there . My housekeeper has fallen and her head is bleeding. I cannot get her up. Okay, where did she fall from . She fell going up the steps, up the brick steps. Gloria satterfield had been the murdaugh familys housekeeper and essentially a nanny to Alex Murdaughs kids for about 20 years and was treated very much like a Family Member herself. Several years ago, there was an accident at the murdaugh home. According to them, you know, the murdaugh family dog accidentally knocked her down the stairs, and she ended up passing away from her injuries. At or after her funeral, apparently Alex Murdaugh approached her sons. And hes like, hey, look, im sorry about what happened, and im going to make sure you get taken care of. Dont worry, i have insurance. He had apparently a 500,000 liability policy and a multimilliondollar Umbrella Policy on his home. And he told them that if they would go visit his friend cory fleming, cory would get the satterfield boys some money. Fleming brought those claims against the insurance company. There was 4. 3 million that the Insurance Companies paid, and neither cory nor alex ever told their clients. And the boys got none of it, not a penny. How he got away with what he did is the money went through Cory Flemings firm, and Cory Flemings record showed that the money went from there to forge. Now, Forge Consulting is a legitimate Settlement Funding company. Cory fleming wrote the checks to forge, not Forge Consulting, just the word forge, and delivered them to Alex Murdaugh. So he went and created an account at bank of america, r. Alexander murdaugh doing business as forge, giving the appearance that the plaintiffs settlement money went to Forge Consulting. But thats actually a personal bank account, and he starts moving millions of dollars into there. Thats very calculated. Yes, thats very calculated. What will you do . Will you make Something Better .

The Good Old Boy Network runs rampant through this entire ordeal. Here its mostly politicians, Law Enforcement, bankers, and lawyers, and they kind of do this, you scratch my back, ill scratch yours, do favors for each other, things like that. And thats just kind of how it is around here. Hampton is pretty much historically dominated by a few influential names. The murdaughs, thats pnped. The laffittes, thats Palmetto State Bank. Families who had the upper hand, the power, and the control for 100 years. Palmetto state bank has several branches now across the low country, and the Board Of Directors is filled with members of the laffitte family. And then theres the relationship between Russell Laffitte and Alex Murdaugh. Alex was able to walk into Palmetto State Bank and use his connections with Russell Laffitte to say, hey bud, i need this done. Alex murdaugh had the ability to skip protocols that most of us have to go through, and thats just how they looked out for each other. That is the good old boy system. This really is a case of institutional evil manifesting itself, and not just one crazy lawyer. This is the product of decades of entitlement, of privilege. The murdaughs are part of a club. And what club is that . A club of white people, powerful white people, who got to run things. This is the culmination of years of no accountability. With Alex Murdaugh, its a character flaw. It aint like, ooh, this deals with case finances, so my moral compass is broken on this one issue. If your moral compass is broken, that [ bleep ] dont ever work. If you be that disrespectful to the lady who helped tuck your kids in at night to sleep, what wont you do to somebody . Now, a lot of people werent really buying the whole dogs knocked her down the stairs narrative. I dont know, but i dont think she tripped over the dogs. Because when you listen to the 911 tape, she never mentions the dogs. 911, what is your emergency . My housekeeper has fallen and her head is bleeding. I cannot get her up. Okay, whered she fall from . She fell going up the steps, up the brick steps. And i just think if i was on the phone calling 911, its like, oh, my god. My housekeeper just tripped over my dog and she fell. But the dogs dont come up, ever. I have a difficult time believing how dogs that youre around all the time in a house that youre more familiar with than the people who own it, and the dogs jumped on you and knocked you down the stairs. I wasnt there, so i dont know. Maggie was initially on that call, then paul got on that call. Hello . Yeah, can you ask the patient what kind of pain shes having . Maam, she cant talk. Okay, do you know shes cracked her head and theres blood on the concrete and shes bleeding out of her left ear. Okay, shes bleeding out of her ear. And out of her head, shes cracked her skull. Okay, do you know if shes ever had a stroke or anything before . Maam, can you stop asking me all these questions . I already have them on the way. Me asking questions does not slow them down in any way. Its very interesting to hear his demeanor especially. 911 operator asking some Pretty Simple questions, and hes pretty upset about the fact that theyre asking questions, not as much of, this woman is bleeding to death on our stairs. So the rumor is that paul may have been involved somehow in this death, whether its pushing, tripping, something of the sort. Gloria satterfield, they pushed her down the stairs. That was no accident. That was on purpose. I think she found something. Ive heard that she found his stash of drugs. She was going to tell his daddy. Theres been talk for a long time here. Something in the milk aint clean. Alex murdaugh, the prominent attorney at the center of a case involving murder, money, and mystery, was arrested today in Orange County while leaving a drug Rehab Facility in central florida. I was in the newsroom and bulletin came out that Alex Murdaugh had gotten arrested, and your mind just wanders on what was he arrested for, what is he connected to, and why now . Alex murdaugh is charged with two counts of obtaining property by false pretense. Murdaughs longtime housekeeper died after an accident in his home back in 2018. Her family filed a lawsuit in september saying they never received any money from her estate. Murdaughs law firm fired him, saying they discovered that murdaugh had misappropriated funds. Your honor, he has fallen from grace. His wife and son were brutally murdered, and that has had an extraordinary effect on him. So we ask you to allow him to go and help heal himself. This is a 20year addiction. This is something hes struggling with every day, and if anyone wants to see the face of what Opioid Addiction does, youre looking at it. Thank you, your honor. This cant be the first time he did it, right . Theres no way the first time you stole money was with this level of coverup in a wrongful death case for 4. 3 million. He had to have been doing it before, and then people find out hed been doing it for over a decade. There are new victims in the murdaugh money mess. Twentythree new charges, all accusing Alex Murdaugh of stealing from his own clients. Now other families who lost loved ones are coming forward. They tell eerily similar accounts of missing money after tragic deaths. There are a number of victims here. You have victims like hakeem pinckney. Hakeem was a young deaf man, had just graduated high school, and his family is just driving down the road, and boom, tragedy hits. Tire tread comes off, car flips. Hakeem is rendered a quadriplegic in this accident, end sup in a nursing home, and he dies. And then alex steals their money, almost a Million Dollars. Johnny bush is in a really bad accident, and hes got hardware in his back. Alex stole his money. Blondell gary, on their way in the ambulance to the hospital. The ambulance wrecks. Shes no longer with us. Then he steals the money. Trooper moore of the South Carolina highway patrol. Alex takes the money. Malik williams. Jamie richard. And the list goes on and on and on. Alex murdaugh successfully stole almost 10 million from clients, both living and dead. Alex zeroed in on minorities, poor people, injured people, people that couldnt really defend themselves, and had probably come to alex because it was their last chance. Its outrageous that it was a wealthy person preying on so many people who had so little. As the charges started piling up, you started to realize exactly how far alex went, when youre looking into not just 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70plus charges. So its basically nearly 150 years in jail or more if he is convicted of all the crimes. Its hard for me to comprehend whats happened to him because hes such a good guy. He may not have been good to everybody. I dont know. For some people, cheating other people is almost like sex to them. Its a big high for them to know theyve gotten something over on people, and that might be the basis of some of what hes done. Hello, this is an amtel Operator Calling from alvin s. Glenn detention. All phone calls are subject to monitoring and recording. Hello. Hey, bud. What time did yall get back . Like 5 oclock this morning. What did yall fly on . Spirit airlines. How was that . It was better than i expected it to be. So you went four hours with no reclining . Yeah. But, you know, everything was still fun, and then going to sedona was a good time. Did you get to gamble any . Yeah, yeah, so i did go gambling, and then the next day there was an article created about how im misusing funds. By gambling . Yeah, someone took a picture of me and john marvin in the casino. What a [ bleep ] are you kidding me . No. How did they recognize you . No. Man, i guess, i mean, im a national figure, i think. I guess youre going to have to wear a hat and [ bleep ] when you go places. Theres no remorse. Zero care. About anybody. One of the outstanding questions in this case continues to be, where did all of the money go . When aspen dental told me that my dentures were ready, i was so excited. I love the confidence. I love that i can blast this beautiful smile and make the world smile with me. I would totally say aspen dental changed my life. Aspen dental makes new smiles affordable. Right now, get 20 off dentures. We do anything to make you smile. Meet apartment 2a, 2b and 2c. 2as monitoring his money with a simple text. Like what you see abe . Yes 2bs covered with zero Overdraft Fees when he overdraws his account by fifty bucks or less. And 2c, well, shes not going to let a lost card get her stressed. Am i right . Thats right. Thats because these neighbors all have chase. Alerts that help check. Tools that help protect. One bank that puts you in control. Chase. Make more of whats yours. One of the outstanding questions in this case continues to be, where did all of the money go . He may be trying to hide millions of dollars. It is impossible to burn that kind of money in hampton, South Carolina. Where is this money . Well, thats the Million Dollar question. I have no idea where the money is. He claims to have had an Opioid Problem that he spent a lot of it on. I dont know how you can spend that much if it was strictly for the addiction. But then the question becomes, what did he need the money for . Was it drugs . Was it a lifestyle . Was he, you know, traveling places we dont know about . They did not live a flashy lifestyle. Certainly they had perks. Certainly they had nice things. But its not the lifestyle of multimillions. So the vices that i can think of are gambling or maybe someone blackmailing him and he had to pay lots of money out. Was he just living higher than he should have been . Did he have other people he was taking care of, like, you know, the possibility of mistresses that have been rumored out there . Alex is the only person who knows where that money went, what he did with it, and does it still exist . Alex comes from a line of people who are the law. He probably felt that no matter what trouble he went into, he would find a way out of it. We dont even know if we know everything. Every time we thought that the story was going to end, there was a new piece of information that just made it more fantastical, more insane, and created more question marks into who are the murdaughs and how are they involved in so many different crimes. Hampton county 911, what is your emergency . This is Alex Murdaugh at 4147 moselle road. I need the police and an ambulance immediately. My wife and child have been shot badly. On that day, june the 7th, alex comes home from work around 6 30 and met paul. And he and paul rode around the fields inspecting the property. They were just, you know, hanging out together. And then they met their mother and they had dinner. Ive got all their Phone Records leading up until the murder. And theyre talking to each other. Maggies talking to paul and pauls talking to alex. They were communicating in very loving fashion. After dinner, maggie left the house to go run the dogs. Paul left the house because paul never stayed inside. And alex, frankly, doesnt know where paul went. Alex says that he laid down on the couch and watched tv and fell asleep. And he woke up about 9 00 and he wanted to go check on his mother. So he tries to call maggie first. And she doesnt answer. And he tries to call paul and he doesnt answer. And he texts maggie and says, ill be right back. He leaves. And he is on his phone from 9 03 through 9 21. At 9 21, he calls his mothers house phone asking the nursing aide to let him in. His mothers in bed. She has dementia. Shes watching a game show. And alex sits on the bed and the nursing aide says he is the same old alex. Theres no stress. And he stays there for about 20 minutes. And then he comes back and he gets on the phone again and hes chatting it up with his friends. And then he arrives back to moselle a little bit after 10 00. The house was still locked up. And there had been no sign that either paul or maggie had come into the house. He got back in his car and drove down to the dog kennel. And thats where he discovers their bodies. My wife and child have been shot badly. Are they breathing . No, maam. Okay, and you said its your wife and your son . My wife and my son. Please hurry. What is her name . Maggie and paul. He immediately goes to check to see if theyre alive. He rolls paul over and paul has been shot with a shotgun twice, inside the feed room at the dog kennel at very close range. Two shots with a shotgun is extreme overkill. At close range, within say 10 feet, all the pellets are going to hit in a single mass. Its going to eviscerate your organs. Paul had two wounds on his body, one to the chest and then one to the head, neck area. Thats why paul was reportedly almost decapitated from the incident. Alex goes and checks maggie and theres no pulse. Her body is found about 30 yards away from pauls. Maggie is shot multiple times from a distance. One shot in her leg, shot in her wrist, another shot in her torso, and then there were two last shots while she was on the ground at close range. With maggie, it was an ar15 that was used. I think she begins to run. Thats why you see the shots are kind of going up her body in the fashion that they are. When she falls to the ground, then you walk over to her and then you shoot the final shots. Now to walk over to her, possibly still on the ground, begging for her life, and then to stand over her and shoot straight down to the ground into her head, thats, i think its unfathomable for a normal human being. The multiple Gunshot Wounds indicate that both maggie and paul were meant to be dead. A very sinister person committed these crimes. It was intentional. It doesnt feel like anybody snapped. It does feel like a very incoldblood situation. Immediately upon learning of paul and maggies death, many people, me included, thought that this was the act of some delusional vigilante. Who might have the motive, the means, and the opportunity to want one or both of these victims dead . What was the motivation other than anger or revenge . The first thought that everybody had was who would be this rogue person to go ahead and kill . Because who did alex maybe upset or paul upset somewhere . Was it the Mallory Beach family who was still involved in a civil lawsuit, but they also had grief over the fact that mallory was gone . Was it Stephen Smiths family who was connected to this because theyve never gotten justice for their son in their mind . Was it somebody from a Drug Deal Perspective after alex came out and said that im addicted to opioids . Were still learning more about what exactly happened behind these gates of this Hunting Lodge here in colleton county. A Sled Spokesperson tells me that while this is being called a double homicide, there is no danger to the public right now and that at last report they were not looking for suspects in this case. After the murders, there was a call to say the public is not in danger, which would let you think that they know exactly who the killer was. The person that finds the body many times is a prime suspect. I mean, alex had a specific and potentially convenient alibi if you go see one of your parents at the same time that these murders happened. Can someone confirm that he was really at his moms house . I dont think at this point we know if anybody was there with her. Ive never gotten a sense that any of the brothers were there or anyone else thats come out and said i saw alex an hour before the murder. I saw alex when these murders happened. No one has come out to give him that full alibi and the only person who could has dementia and her mind is not all the way there. If theres no one else there, then alexs only alibi is with a woman who, unfortunately, if you took the stand, wouldnt pass muster.

She was living at their beach house in edisto and he was living at moselle. So i think one of the Big Questions was why was maggie at moselle the night that she was murdered if she wasnt living there anymore . This is a couple that from all reports were on the outs and then youre going to have a Sit Down Dinner together. It seems very unusual. There has since been some reporting that has come out that alex asked maggie to meet him at moselle and then the two of them would go together to see his parents. In Text Messages to a friend, maggie says its fishy. She thinks that hes up to something. She agreed to go and according to this report, she went straight to the dog kennels and got out of the car and the car was still running before she was murdered. I dont think the dinner could really be proven. Theres no one there to corroborate the story about the dinner, making them look like theyre so close. Its my opinion that its just another story that alex has made up to make himself look better. Theres a mixed bag of rumors right now about divorce lawyers and whether she had actually contacted one. I think its definitively in play that she was considering the fact of maybe its time to get a divorce or i need to separate from alex. I mean, the question is, did maggie know that alex had got his account down to negative One Hundred Thousand Dollars and change if their marriage was on the rocks and they were separated a bit and considering divorce . Well, one thing that has to happen is if you split up, you need to know what your cut is, which requires a financial audit. If you had done one on his finances, you would have found that he was embezzling money. But is money enough to make a person kill their spouse . I dont know. I think he knew that this was a house of cards. He knew that there was the potential for real danger and that it would all point right back at him. And paul and maggie were the first two people that would point right at him. Alex done killed them. That was my first thought. Aint nobody else in hampton got the balls to try to kill a murdoch in my opinion. My First Impression is probably still my same opinion. I just feel like whatever happened was something within that family. I dont think it was anything to do with anybody outside. If you could execute your wife and your son, i would find that hard to believe. And if you did, theres a special place in hell for you. I never will believe that he did it. Theres no way in the world. Theres no way. One of the pieces of evidence thats out there is Blood Spatter on alex. Its been reported that there was a Spatter Pattern on alexs shirt. You know, you shoot somebody in the head with a shotgun. Thats going to be a massive explosion of blood and tissue. The same thing with the ar15. The bullets are traveling so fast, a highvelocity mist is created because it goes back in the direction of the object that fired at them. The closer i am to you when i shoot you, its going to create more spatter back on that individual. Thats incredibly damning evidence when you had to be the one that pulled the trigger. Which ties alex right back to the scene where both paul and maggie died. If that comes to be true, that would just be one more nail in the coffin for alex. You hear that, you know, he had some forensic evidence that links him to the bodies. Well, its not surprising because he touched both bodies and hes going to have, you know, theyre blood on him. The forensic testing of Blood Spatter is accepted when youre looking at a crime scene and theres blood on the wall, theres blood on the table, theres blood on the hard surface. But all that falls apart when theres blood in clothing. I mean, it really is junk science and not accepted in legitimate forensic scientific circles. Unless theres something we dont know about, that case will be as defensible, if not more defensible. Than pauls boating case. Can you hear me . Hello . Yeah. What you doing . Nothing. At, uh, greenfield. Yall hunting . Uh, were going to this afternoon. Let me tell you what you oughta do, buster. I think the [ bleep ] feeders were full over there at moselle. If you felt like going back there, i bet with nothing going on, i bet theres deer all over them things. Um, im not coming back. Whats that going to do for me . Kill a deer . Im not going hunting out there. I dont blame you. Im just letting you know. Do you care if i let jim do it . Jim who . Jim griffith. What, let him hunt deer out there . Or what are you talking about . I didnt know if you wanted to hunt doves out there. If you do, then i want you to do i didnt know if you wanted to hunt doves out there. If you do, then i want you to do it. If not, then im going to let him do it. Do you want to dove hunt out there . No. Not at all . Nuhuh. Its been a threeyear process. Its been mystery and digging for information and anything you can find about these murders. And then to finally see it in writing, Alex Murdaugh charged with two murders, was almost surprising in many forms because you never thought he was going to get charged. Thats the first time anybody went, oh. Were breaking into programming right now to bring you a special report. Alex murdaugh has now officially been charged with murdering his wife and son. Sled, the South Carolina Law Enforcement division has informed the family that they are seeking murder charges. The Murder Indictment alleges murdaugh shot his 52yearold wife Maggie Murdaugh with a rifle and his son paul with a shotgun. Source has told cnn that some of the evidence that they believe Law Enforcement has includes Blood Spatter on his clothing. Did maggie and Paul Murdaugh have Life Insurance policies . They didnt have any insurance. They did not have an Insurance Policy . They had no insurance. Did he murder his wife and son . No. Does he have any idea who did . No. Okay, yall, were trying to get in the [ bleep ] jail, will yall get out of our way . Throughout your career, how many cases that you worked on involved a father killing his own son and wife . I think ive worked maybe two in my whole career where ive actually seen that, and ive worked over 12,000 cases. The fact that alex was charged with both maggie and pauls murders surprised a lot of people. I think many people believe that maybe he was involved somehow or had somebody do it and would be connected that way. But to see it specifically that Alex Murdaugh killed Paul Murdaugh, and Alex Murdaugh killed Maggie Murdaugh with a shotgun, with a rifle, was almost shocking to see those words come out specifically because im not sure if anybody believed he truly pulled both triggers. He said simply he had nothing to do with maggie and pauls murder. Murdaugh appeared in court with a shaved head, wearing clothes from his Defense Attorneys son, a white linen shirt, khaki pants and gucci shoes. Part of a long legal legacy, Alex Murdaugh will soon learn his fate in a courtroom where a painting of his greatgrandfather hangs. Richard Alex Murdaugh, if that is your name, please raise your right hand. Do you waive reading of the indictments . Yes, sir. What say you, richard Alex Murdaugh . Are you guilty or not guilty of the felonies wherein you stand indicted . Not guilty. For the 13 months, has alexs lawyers known that he may have been involved in this and, like, have been working to figure out how to fix this since then . Theres questions about who knows the truth, what have they been doing to try to save alex, try to help him with all these crimes, and what more dont we know about the situation . Your client was Paul Murdaugh, and now your client is Alex Murdaugh, who is a Person Of Interest in the murder of paul. Isnt that conflicting . If i thought for one minute that alex had a hand in Killing Maggie and paul, then yeah, i would be conflicted. But i dont think that for a minute. Not one minute. I think Everybody Needs to know the truth about every bit of it, everything. Im anxious to find out a lot of truth. Somebody knows what happened. They need to come forward for Mallory Beachs family, gloria satterfields family, Stephen Smiths family. Bring peace and closure to the ones that are still living. Somebody threw him in the road like a piece of trash. And he wasnt trash. He was my son. And im going to fight until the end, until the day i die. A lot of people hollering and want justice for mallory. Everybody says she didnt get it, but she got it. Theres a whole lot of people getting justice because of her. None of it would have ever been discovered if it hadnt have been for that bugger, rick. The murdaugh name has been eroded, and some would say thats a great tragedy, but i suspect more would say its about time. Youll never hear them say were happy about what happened, but i think theres a sigh of relief for a lot of people because the murdaughs wont be in charge anymore. Seems like theyre enjoying the pain that the murdaugh familys going through. I thought the one person that said, yeah, theyre getting what they deserve. It burned me up because nobody deserves what has happened. Everything about this is tragic. Everything. For everybody. You have to be held responsible for what you do. But that doesnt mean that the unraveling of this family is something to be celebrated. Thats always going to be our legacy. This whole area is going to be the poster child for the actions of a few men. You go from being this high, got nothing to worry about, everything in the world that you want, you got the land, you got the money, you got the power, and then it just crumbled. What was once a bustling dynasty is literally reduced to rubble because of greed, ego, power tripping. Olympus has fallen. Hey bud. Hey. What are you doing . Im here in rock hill watching the South Carolina basketball game. Did brooklynn get my letter . Um, no, i dont think shes gotten it yet. Is she doing okay . Uh, she just went upstairs. Shes hungover and shes going to take a nap. Shes what . Hungover. Yall had a Big Night Last night . Well, im glad she did. She deserved that. Did she have fun . Yeah. Yeah, she had a good time. Brooklynn cracks me up. Shes like mom. You can always just take one look at her and know when shes just got the biggest buzz, you know . Thats right. I mean, it doesnt take anything to know when shes got a buzz. Right. You remember how mom used to smile . I do. You there . Your time is up
