...so let's go to Patrick in the ring, and Stacy Keach is pleased again at what he's seeing. When Patrick's done sparring, Stacy Keach tells him to change his shoes and go run six miles, but just then, Mae pipes up from where she's appeared on the sidelines. Stacy Keach, hilariously, looks like he's seeing a ghost, while Patrick, more prosaically, asks Mae what she's doing there. She tells him she came to watch him spar before literally saying "Hello, sailor" to Stacy Keach, like, great, another horned-up Leary we have to deal with. They flirt a bit while discussing Patrick's boxing, and then Stacy Keach goes to change out of his wet shirt while babbling at Patrick in a barely coherent manner, like, I know it's been a while but try to hold on to a little dignity here, Stacy Keach. Anyway, he runs off to grab some Cialis out of his locker, leaving Patrick free to upbraid his mother for showing up announced, but she pooh-poohs his concerns until Johnny and Charlie appear. Johnny greets her coldly, and when he mentions that she's been gone for seventeen years, Charlie's eyebrows go up like any good producer's would. She takes the opportunity to introduce herself, mentioning that "Charlie" is short for "Charlotte," but as soon as Johnny digests the fact that the cameras are rolling, he insists they be turned off. Charlie belays that order, but even Mae isn't immune to this much tension, and suggests she scram. She's rescued, though, by the reappearance of Stacy Keach, and after they reminisce a bit about the old neighborhood, they head out to, um, reacquaint themselves with each other?
