00:43:14how are you?
00:43:25how did the meeting with the Japs go today?
00:43:29still undecided.
00:43:31I'll know more tomorrow.
00:43:33another meeting.
00:43:47so what did you do today?
00:43:49just ran some errands.
00:43:51I got the hem put up on those pants you wanted.
00:43:54I picked up the coat.
00:43:56there was a tear in the sleeve so they had to fix that.
00:44:00what else did you do?
00:44:02I picked up some groceries.
00:44:04I stood in line for an hour for the Phantom of the Opera tickets.
00:44:07you're welcome by the way.
00:44:09I had the car washed.
00:44:11and I stopped by my mom's house to drop off the cooking pan.
00:44:18what else did you do?
00:44:19what is this, an interview?
00:44:22you're always complaining about how I don't give a shit about your life.
00:44:26so I'm just trying to do better, that's all.
00:44:29Greg, you don't have to sound so pathetic.
00:44:34you're right, Kath.
00:44:36I don't.
00:44:44he'll close your jobs tomorrow.
00:45:00how come you're back so late?
00:45:02I just had to finish some paperwork back at the office.
00:45:05Luke Wilson was complaining his check was $500 short.
00:45:09so who gets to do the extra legwork to find out where the missing money went?
00:45:13so I track it down to HR where it was just an honest fuck up.
00:45:17so I run to the office downtown, grab the check, drive back and personally hand it to the guy.
00:45:22took three hours out of my day.
00:45:24two of those are sitting in traffic.
00:45:26at least not if the greedy bastard needs it.
00:45:29I'll probably just end up in some stripper's g-string tonight.
00:45:33poor baby.
00:45:37did you read with Jill today?
00:45:40yeah.
00:45:42what'd she bring?
00:45:44Merchant of Venice?
00:45:46The Winter's Tale?
00:45:49no, but you're on the right track.
00:45:52how'd you know she'd pick a comedy?
00:45:54you look upset.
00:45:56I told you, it's that fucking Luke Wilson.
00:46:11what the hell with Luke Wilson?
00:46:13Owen is way hotter anyway.
00:46:16gee, thanks Faye, that's real mature of you to say.
00:46:19come on, I'm trying to make you feel better, sweetie.
00:46:27come on, what's the matter with you?
00:46:33what is the matter with you?
00:46:38did you fuck Jill?
00:46:40absolutely not.
00:46:42I can't believe you'd casually accuse me of something like that.
00:46:44well, something's wrong and it's not your labored voyage to human resources to pick up Luke Wilson's goddamn check.
00:46:52she's horrible, Faye.
00:46:54who, Jill?
00:46:56why do you say that?
00:46:59I read with her for two hours today and she's awful.
00:47:02so what?
00:47:04I could have told you that.
00:47:06just give her a smaller part or something.
00:47:08you don't understand, no studio is going to give her any part, let alone a speaking one.
00:47:12she thinks she's going to play a major supporting character.
00:47:14well, who gave her that idea in the first place?
00:47:17you did, you remember?
00:47:19you practically begged me to give her a part.
00:47:21you said she was depressed and that was the only way to get her out of it.
00:47:23well, it's true.
00:47:25you see how excited and happy she is now?
00:47:27she's never been like that.
00:47:31I looked her dead in the eyes and said she was great.
00:47:35what?
00:47:36I said I looked her dead in the eyes and said she was a great actress.
00:47:39good? give her some confidence.
00:47:42what do you mean good? that's the worst thing I could have said.
00:47:44what?
00:47:45Faye, you're not an artist so you don't understand.
00:47:47we want to hear the truth about our work.
00:47:49when we find out we're being lied to and bullshitted about for the sake of our feelings, that's a fucking insult.
00:47:54we want honest opinions and criticism.
00:47:57oh, for Christ's sake.
00:47:59so what?
00:48:01she said she believed you and she's happy.
00:48:04you did the right thing.
00:48:08I just don't feel good about it.
00:48:11you've had yourself along in a fucking loony bin.
00:48:14you know, if you had one creative bone in your body, you'd understand that work equates feelings.
00:48:19to a greater extent, self-worth.
00:48:21oh, grow up, Jeff. this is not one of your pretentious, independent features.
00:48:35what are you going to tell her when the studio won't hire her?
00:48:39I don't know. I mean, it's possible she can still get a part.
00:48:43and she's pretty enough, she doesn't have to be too talented.
00:48:47it'll work out.
00:48:56I have to tell her.
00:48:58tell her what?
00:49:00the truth.
00:49:02don't, Jeff.
00:49:04it will crush her.
00:49:08she'd want that.
00:49:20Roy tried to ask me out last night.
00:49:23what? he did?
00:49:25what'd he say?
00:49:28he asked if you and I were serious.
00:49:34and then he asked me to do it.
00:49:37what'd you tell him?
00:49:39I said no.
00:49:41well, was he pissed?
00:49:43a little bit.
00:49:45but, it just seems like he's more depressed than angry.
00:49:51I don't know, it's like I did him a favor, right?
00:49:54he's not my type at all.
00:49:57he's just...
00:49:59he's Roy, he's so...
00:50:01blah.
00:50:03he's alright.
00:50:05Nick.
00:50:07you practically reduced him to nothing last night.
00:50:11well, I don't remember anything.
00:50:14besides, I was shit-faced.
00:50:18you know, Greg's noticed I've been taking off from work every day after lunch.
00:50:24I mean, he hasn't said anything, but...
00:50:27what do you guys talk about at home?
00:50:30his mind is so wrapped up in this damn Japanese cell.
00:50:33well, it's pretty important back at the office, I mean...
00:50:36if it doesn't go through, he's likely to lose his position.
00:50:40so he slides on the totem pole a few notches.
00:50:43they won't fire him.
00:50:46it's a lot more serious than you think.
00:50:49I mean, Greg's first priority is the K-41 project.
00:50:53if it doesn't go through, the firm has no other option than to send him to the mail room.
00:50:58and if he's not stuck in a cubicle five days a week, it's going to be a lot easier to keep tabs on you.
00:51:04so just think about that.
00:51:06you're just thinking about yourself.
00:51:08I'm thinking about both of us.
00:51:11you're hypocritical.
00:51:13what's that supposed to mean?
00:51:15you act like you care.
00:51:17well, actually, I do.
00:51:19I just care more about myself.
00:51:21that's the difference, you know?
00:51:24I'm a fucking asshole, but I just ignore the guilt.
00:51:28Greg's different. He turns it in towards himself.
00:51:32I hate self-loathing, and that makes me invincible.
00:51:37you need sex. I want to go home.
00:51:40everybody else does.
00:52:10hey, you!
00:52:12so, what'd you want to see me about?
00:52:14want to do some more readings?
00:52:16yeah, about the readings.
00:52:19maybe we should hold off on those for a while.
00:52:21why? the movie's still a go, right?
00:52:24I don't know, Jill. I mean, it's pretty controversial material.
00:52:28we'd be under attack from religious groups the entire time, and the church already hates the book as it is.
00:52:32yeah, but the book got picketed, too, and all it did was boost sales.
00:52:36I mean, I assume the same would be true of the movie, also.
00:52:39it's still on, right?
00:52:41yeah, it's still on.
00:52:43so what's the problem, then?
00:52:46it's about your part.
00:52:48what about it? I'm still playing Loretta, right?
00:52:52well, I don't know, Jill. I mean, I haven't run the idea past the studio yet, and we still have to wait for the treatment to come in.
00:52:58well, I'll play a different part, then. it's no big deal.
00:53:01like you said, nothing's written in stone yet.
00:53:03I mean, that's why I'm practicing with Shakespeare.
00:53:05if I knew the part I was really going to play, I'd be practicing those lines instead.
00:53:11yeah, well, uh, you remember what I said yesterday?
00:53:14of course I do.
00:53:19I, uh, I shouldn't have said it.
00:53:23what do you mean? why would you say it, then?
00:53:27I don't know. I just felt like saying it, I guess.
00:53:33so I'm just as bad an actress as I am a writer, huh?
00:53:36you're a great writer.
00:53:38of course I am. how do I know you're not lying now?
00:53:41it's, it's possible you can still get a part. I mean, we have a few months. just, just keep practicing. you can only get better.
00:53:49keep me updated with any further development, all right?
00:53:53I just wanted to tell you the truth.
00:54:02I love you.
00:54:32I love you too.
00:55:02I love you too.
00:55:32fuck.
00:55:43why didn't you tell me?
00:55:45I didn't think it was that big of a deal.
00:55:47am I that bad?
00:55:49you're not bad, Jill. you're just not a professional. I mean, I wouldn't even know what's good or bad anyway.
00:55:55I trusted him.
00:55:58that's why he told you the truth.
00:56:02Jill, why do you have to blame yourself for every little thing that goes wrong?
00:56:06then who am I supposed to blame? whose fault is it, Faye?
00:56:09it's mine.
00:56:11if I can't do something and do it well, then who else am I supposed to blame other than myself?
00:56:20let me ask you a question.
00:56:21what?
00:56:23what were you rehearsing with Jeff the other night?
00:56:28Shakespeare?
00:56:30just like we rehearsed Shakespeare?
00:56:33what are you getting at?
00:56:35nothing.
00:56:36look, if I liked Jeff, if I ever liked him at all, it was because of his charming compliments about my work.
00:56:43now that I know that that's complete and utter bullshit, you can rest easy, Faye.
00:56:48you know, you really are a selfish bitch, Jill.
00:56:54even if you don't believe it, Jeff and I both actually care about you.
00:56:58you're deluded.
00:57:02go to hell, Faye. I'm not deluded.
00:57:04yes, you are.
00:57:06why is it that everything you believe has to go against what everyone tells you?
00:57:23you
00:57:53you
00:58:23you
00:58:45sorry, the book discussion took a little longer than I thought today.
00:58:49have you eaten?
00:58:51I'm not hungry.
00:58:53how did your meeting go?
00:58:57I take it you don't want to talk about it right now?
00:59:03it's not a big deal. I could refine the chip at another firm.
00:59:09I'm sorry.
00:59:11unbeat.
00:59:15try not to make any noise when you turn in.
00:59:21okay.
00:59:27you know, fuck Hanna Naboo and the crane he flew in on.
00:59:30six months from now, he'll be begging you for this patent.
00:59:33and when the time comes, you'll look him in his slanty eyes and make him cry,
00:59:37holy hell, for that chip.
00:59:40I'm just not interested in any childish revenge or cathartic retribution, Sean.
00:59:45the chip's not strong enough to compete in the market.
00:59:47Hanna knew that, and he acted responsibly.
00:59:50I've got to go back to the drawing board.
00:59:54it's strong enough.
00:59:56you just didn't sell it to Hanna.
01:00:01how's the search going?
01:00:03just looking right now.
01:00:05I had an interview at a hospital, but I don't like sick people.
01:00:09well, if you want to grab something to eat, I've got half an hour before I've got to get back to the office.
01:00:14no, I can't. I've got a consultation in Sunnyvale that will probably take me about eight.
01:00:18alright, tomorrow then.
01:00:20I told you that old fucker.
01:00:22that dude is just not going to raise any goddamn money about that fatal beauty deal.
01:00:26it just ain't going to happen.
01:00:28and I'm sick and fucking tired of that right-wing scandal bullshit that you're doing.
01:00:32well, can't you cut a deal with the church?
01:00:34Jesus Christ, Jeff, we already had this fucking conversation, didn't we?
01:00:37no, no, Marty, don't do this to me.
01:00:39hear me out, man. that's all there is to it.
01:00:41you can sweet-talk me all you fucking want.
01:00:43I don't care what you do, just cut a deal with them.
01:00:45I've done all I could, alright?
01:00:47no, Marty, Marty!
01:00:49don't fuck with me, man!
01:00:55fuck!
01:01:17bless me, father, for I have sinned.
01:01:37what was your last confession?
01:01:41I can't remember.
01:01:44is your name Frank Mulligan?
01:01:47why do you ask?
01:01:49strictly business.
01:01:52oh.
01:01:54I assume this is about fatal beauty.
01:01:59I spoke earlier with your Mr. Page about this matter.
01:02:04now your company has every right to produce a motion picture with its own resources.
01:02:10but if it does, well, let me assure you,
01:02:14we will do so without my blessing or that of my peers.
01:02:19father, we don't need any kind of blessing from you or any kind of permission.
01:02:24I just want to make sure that if this picture gets made,
01:02:27there won't be a wave of boycotts from here all the way down to the Mason-Dixon.
01:02:30and I know you people are up in arms over the book.
01:02:34what do you mean, you people?
01:02:38let me tell you, Mr. Carrow.
01:02:40we people disapprove of the book because it tells one lie after another about our church.
01:02:46and we do not accept being mocked and ridiculed for entertainment purposes.
01:02:53I read the book.
01:02:56it's a silly fantasy with no proper research or any redeeming social value.
01:03:05I'm sorry if you find nothing wrong in exploiting the church for your own financial gain.
01:03:13but don't expect me to stand by it and accept your slander.
01:03:17father, I don't think you understand.
01:03:19no, you don't.
01:03:23sit down.
01:03:25you're going to give yourself a goddamn heart attack.
01:03:27don't you dare use that language in front of me.
01:03:29I've been under God's watch all my life. I'm doing just fine.
01:03:32all right, look, I'm going to level with you.
01:03:35Paige is scared you're going to bring down a swarm of controversy on this release.
01:03:39and I just want to be able to tell him that you or your acquaintances aren't going to hurt his pocket.
01:03:43so what's it going to take?
01:03:46we'll call it a donation.
01:03:48are you trying to corrupt me?
01:03:50I'm trying to reason with you.
01:03:52if you don't take a bribe, then maybe we'll have to go a different route.
01:03:56who'd know you're threatening me?
01:04:01look, you're an old man.
01:04:03you can't have more than a couple years ahead of you.
01:04:05don't do this to yourself.
01:04:07I said I'm fine.
01:04:09I want you out of here.
01:04:11I don't negotiate with philistines.
01:04:15okay, look, I'm really sorry, okay?
01:04:19I didn't mean to disrespect you.
01:04:22don't make me laugh.
01:04:31let me tell you how this is going to happen.
01:04:37you and your writers are going to change the story
01:04:41and put the church in an honest, positive light.
01:04:46now, if you do so, to our satisfaction,
01:04:51maybe you won't hear from us again.
01:04:54but if you don't, you certainly will.
01:04:59it was nice talking to you, father.
01:05:02let me remind you that if you decide to come back here with more threats and blasphemy,
01:05:09we have many christian faithful who could return the favor.
01:05:13well-connected christian faithful, if you know what I mean.
01:05:29okay.
01:05:43uh, mr. carroll.
01:05:50my name is father stefan.
01:05:52what have you told father mulligan?
01:05:55nothing. mind your business.
01:05:57oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:06:01well, let me tell you something.
01:06:03father mulligan is a very respectable man.
01:06:06if anything happens to him, god will take his side.
01:06:11I'm sure he will.
01:06:13you have yourself a day.
01:06:19like father mulligan says,
01:06:23we have believers, and they might be much more violent than I am.
01:06:28gregory, I'm all right. let the gentleman go.
01:06:31oh, I was just introducing myself.
01:06:36I want him off the property.
01:06:38all right.
01:06:39just let him go.
01:06:52all right.
01:06:54all right.
01:07:20hey, it's me.
01:07:24what are you, jealous, faye?
01:07:26I know she's only worried about her career.
01:07:28hey, buddy, hey, buddy, you got like a dollar on you.
01:07:31yeah, who is she?
01:07:33hey, man. hey, no, man, you got like a dollar on you.
01:07:37like one dollar. that's all. that's it. it's one.
01:07:40I talked to him on the phone. he's not listening to me.
01:07:42no, no, dude, it's cool. I know, but, uh...
01:07:44I think I'm gonna have to go to catch a plane to vegas or something.
01:07:47I'm not trying to interrupt, but, dude, I mean, just do it.
01:07:50you got like a buck and a quarter?
01:07:52look, I don't have any change, man, all right?
01:07:54get the fuck out of here.
01:07:58yeah, I'm sorry.
01:08:00I don't know some guy.
01:08:02look, I need to fly to vegas.
01:08:04I'm gonna talk to him, and I'll come back tonight, okay?
01:08:06I'll... I'll call you later, okay?
01:08:09bye.
01:08:22bye.
01:08:52Oh, you're sliding down
01:08:55Against your heart
01:08:58Yes, you got one
01:09:04Just closing your eyes
01:09:07So you can't see
01:09:10So you can't see
01:09:13No, I don't care
01:09:16What they say is so easy
01:09:22No, baby, I don't care
01:09:24What they say is so easy
01:09:31Yeah, it's coming on
01:09:34Again and sweeter
01:09:37And sweeter
01:09:43Marty, it's jeff.
01:09:45What the fuck did you do?
01:09:47Shut up, marty.
01:09:48Hear me out, man.
01:09:49I have talked to the fucking clergy.
01:09:51I've talked to mulligan.
01:09:52And I've also talked to the people.
01:09:54So don't fuck with me, man.
01:09:56You see, I run this office out of vegas.
01:09:59But it's all still hollywood, my man.
01:10:02Don't you think that...
01:10:03I know you're thinking grand, marty.
01:10:05I've done all that I fucking could.
01:10:07I've talked to mulligan.
01:10:08Shut up, marty.
01:10:09So maybe you've got some art on him.
01:10:11Maybe this is vegas' best friend.
01:10:13It's incredible despite a little disaster, jeff.
01:10:16Jesus christ.
01:10:18Listen, this has been strictly aborted
01:10:21Like a mexican pregnancy, my man.
01:10:23I know you're thinking grand, marty.
01:10:24I'm coming up.
01:10:31What the fuck are you doing here?
01:10:33You won't talk to me on the phone.
01:10:34Yeah, that's right.
01:10:36Because your head's so far up your goddamn ass,
01:10:38You're tasting chocolate.
01:10:40I told you that old fucking fart is just not gonna happen.
01:10:42He is gonna raise holy hell over this fatal beauty thing.
01:10:45And it just...
01:10:46I'm just sick and tired of it.
01:10:47All this right-wing bullshit.
01:10:49And...
01:10:52We're going with the matt ember screenplay.
01:10:54That's it.
01:10:55Matt ember?
01:10:57The matt ember screenplay?
01:10:58Are you fucking shitting me, marty?
01:11:00No, I shit you not, jeff.
01:11:02That's what we're doing.
01:11:03I already got tom hanks to play the romantic lead,
01:11:05So don't try and talk me out of it.
01:11:07Marty, last week you gave me your fucking words
01:11:09As soon as the 99% fish in a barrel surefire slam done.
01:11:13That's right, it is.
01:11:1499%, my man.
01:11:16And that one other goddamn percent, turn your head,
01:11:19And that little one percentage will fuck you up the ass
01:11:22Like a nigger in heat.
01:11:23Now, I've done...
01:11:24Wait a minute!
01:11:25Marty, calm down!
01:11:26I've talked...
01:11:27You're bashing with me, marty!
01:11:28I fucking talked with mulligan,
01:11:30And I've talked with the clergy,
01:11:32And I've talked to the people.
01:11:33So go fuck it with me, man!
01:11:35Christ, you goddamn animal.
01:11:37What, you're a badass now?
01:11:39You're a real tough guy now?
01:11:40Oh, fuck you!
01:11:41You're making a tom hanks romedy,
01:11:42But you're still a badass, is that it?
01:11:44Pick up the chair and put it back where it was.
01:11:47You know, I talked to mulligan.
01:11:52You talked to mulligan?
01:11:56Why?
01:11:57Look, he has no authority and he has no say.
01:11:59Let him picket and protest, it's free publicity.
01:12:02And all his worthless efforts will backfire into his face,
01:12:05Because you know why?
01:12:06Your bottom line will not be affected.
01:12:07You son of a bitch,
01:12:08What are you talking to that old man behind my back for, huh?
01:12:11I'd fuck you not, jeff!
01:12:13This is my business, it's my money,
01:12:15I run it, my way!
01:12:17And if you've got a problem with that,
01:12:18You son of a fucking bitch,
01:12:20You better just look behind you,
01:12:22Because there's the door,
01:12:23Don't let the fucking doorknob puncture the asshole
01:12:26While you're on the way out!
01:12:28Jesus christ, what the fuck happened to you, marty?
01:12:30Two weeks ago you had faith and loyalty in this project
01:12:32With the nuts to back it up.
01:12:34Then all of a sudden you get a taste of tom hanks cock
01:12:36And you start wearing a dress for him.
01:12:38Wait a minute.
01:12:39Let me make this one thing perfectly clear, my man.
01:12:42If i were to let tom hanks fuck me up the ass
01:12:44Or come down my fucking throat,
01:12:46I'm going to let him,
01:12:47And i'm going to do it with a goddamn smile on my face!
01:12:50Who the fuck do you think you are?
01:12:52I'm going to knock your goddamn cock in your watch pocket!
01:12:55I made you, you fuck!
01:12:57You're like the jew in my goddamn outchwits!
01:13:00I'll tell you what, man.
01:13:02If i have to get out of this comfortable chair
01:13:04And rip the fucking cunt off of you,
01:13:08I'm going to do so,
01:13:09So you better just get the fuck out!
01:13:11Get the fuck out!
01:13:12We signed papers!
01:13:13Get the fuck out!
01:13:14We signed contracts!
01:13:15Fucking hell!
01:13:16He'd have you in a mail room
01:13:17Stuffing envelopes with final clerks!
01:13:19Garcia!
01:13:22Garcia!
01:13:23You better shut your pseudo-righteous mouth right now
01:13:26And you take that fucking spit with you!
01:13:28Garcia!
01:13:30This is over.
01:13:31This thing is over.
01:13:32Your little one-man crusade
01:13:34For this piece of shit novel
01:13:36Has gone too far.
01:13:38And i've become personally offended
01:13:40And fucking flabbergasted
01:13:41At the sheer audacity
01:13:43Of your goddamn persistence!
01:13:44Now get the fuck out of here!
01:13:51You know,
01:13:52I bet Garcia would love to see your John Hancock
01:13:54On this contract
01:13:55Before i drop it off at the courthouse
01:13:57For my lord to peruse at his leisure.
01:14:02Garcia doesn't know my Hancock
01:14:04From the cock in his hand.
01:14:06So as far as i'm concerned,
01:14:08You can take that piece of paper,
01:14:10Wipe your ass with it,
01:14:12Roll it up,
01:14:13And throw it in the fucking trash can!
01:14:15Or,
01:14:17You can apologize to me
01:14:19For being such a rude prick.
01:14:24I was gonna make you executive producer
01:14:26On this Tom Hanks gig.
01:14:30Executive producer?
01:14:32Yeah, you heard me.
01:14:34Executive producer.
01:14:36What does that sound?
01:14:39You know what?
01:14:41You're actually not a bad guy
01:14:43When you're not acting like an asshole.
01:14:45So?
01:14:47What do you say?
01:14:51It's a Tom Hanks?
01:14:53Tom Hanks, man.
01:14:55Tom Hanks.
01:15:03See?
01:15:04That's my boy.
01:15:06That's all you gotta do, man.
01:15:08Oh, quit looking so pathetic.
01:15:10Give me a hug.
01:15:14God damn it.
01:15:16I'll see you in L.A., Marty.
01:15:18You got yourself all worked up for nothing.
01:15:21It's alright, Jeff. Look at it.
01:15:23This will be fun.
01:15:25Call me.
01:15:34Call me.
01:16:04I'm here.
01:16:26Hi, what's up?
01:16:28Hi, honey.
01:16:31How's Jill doing?
01:16:33So what else is new?
01:16:36What did Marty say?
01:16:39Honey, what did he say?
01:16:43It fell through.
01:16:46Jesus, Jeff, she'll fucking kill herself.
01:16:49I know, I know, I didn't want this to happen, believe me.
01:16:52It's their fucking money.
01:16:54She already feels terrible.
01:16:57Yeah, yeah, I know.
01:16:59I'm gonna call her in a couple of days.
01:17:03I'll be home in a half an hour, okay?
01:17:06Okay, love you.
01:17:10Yeah, you too.
01:17:22It's your decision.
01:17:24Come on, man, it's Tom Hanks for Christ's sake.
01:17:27Stupid little fucking pussy.
01:17:30Hey, man, you want a cigarette?
01:17:35You got any drugs?
01:17:38Fuck you.
01:17:59Fucking asshole.
01:18:09So what's Greg been up to?
01:18:12Do you always have to talk about him?
01:18:15No, I just, he said something funny today.
01:18:18What was it?
01:18:21He doesn't want to be around retarded people.
01:18:24No, no, wait, wait, I got what it was.
01:18:27He said he doesn't want to work in a hospital
01:18:30because he can't stand the sight of sick people.
01:18:33Why would he even mention anything like that?
01:18:36It's not like he's applied to any hospitals.
01:18:39Well, I'm sure he does.
01:18:41He said he has a gig down in Sunnyvale tonight,
01:18:44so we got till 8 o'clock tonight.
01:18:47He told me he had an interview down in Pleasanton.
01:18:54Greg, you're not supposed to be here.
01:18:58Are you going to say something?
01:19:01Yeah.
01:19:04Thanks.
01:19:28Hey, Roy.
01:19:30Hi.
01:19:32You hungry? You want me to make you lunch?
01:19:35You can knock it off.
01:19:38What?
01:19:40The act.
01:19:43What are you talking about?
01:19:46I don't know what to do, okay?
01:19:49About what?
01:19:52Every night when I go to bed,
01:19:55I stare at the ceiling for hours
01:19:58thinking of ways to hurt myself
01:20:00or thinking of ways to kill myself.
01:20:03I know it's crazy, and I know I'm crazy,
01:20:06but I don't know what to do.
01:20:08For the last four years,
01:20:10I've thought about it every single night.
01:20:13Okay.
01:20:16Roy, you need professional help.
01:20:19I've been through that before.
01:20:23Okay, so what can I do to help?
01:20:28Tell me why.
01:20:31Why what?
01:20:33Tell me why I'm such a worthless piece of shit.
01:20:35You're not.
01:20:37Nick and I love you.
01:20:39You don't love me.
01:20:41Roy.
01:20:43You're boxing.
01:20:45What about your boxing? You're great at it.
01:20:47No, I'm not.
01:20:49Besides, you never even see me fight.
01:20:51How would you know?
01:20:55So can you tell me why?
01:20:57Why what?
01:20:59Tell me why you really turn me down.
01:21:01I told you, Roy. It just wouldn't feel right.
01:21:03Just say why, Pam!
01:21:06I'm not good enough for you? Huh?
01:21:09I'm not attractive?
01:21:11I'm too stupid?
01:21:13Just say what it is. Why won't you tell me?
01:21:15I don't know!
01:21:17But you know how to do this to yourself, okay?
01:21:21You're a great person, Roy.
01:21:23Yeah, I'm so great.
01:21:25That's what everybody keeps saying.
01:21:30I got my whole life ahead of me, right?
01:21:37Yet they're so reluctant to give me a fucking chance.
01:21:42Roy, I want to help you.
01:21:44Get your fucking hands off of me.
01:21:47When I look at you, all you do is remind me
01:21:51of how disgusting I am,
01:21:53how unworthy I am to you
01:21:55and everyone else.
01:21:58So if you really want to help, you just stay the hell away from me.
01:22:01It doesn't mean that you're unworthy or that I don't care.
01:22:04You're not helping me, so just stay away, okay?
01:22:06If I ever see you again, I'll spit in your fucking face.
01:22:10You seem...
01:22:12so calm about this.
01:22:16Are you seeing someone?
01:22:20You know, we can think of something to do to fix this.
01:22:23You can get a new job.
01:22:25I can get one too.
01:22:27I don't love you.
01:22:29I don't love you.
01:22:31I don't love you.
01:22:33I don't love you.
01:22:35I don't love you.
01:22:37I don't love you.
01:22:40I saw him in me two, three times.
01:22:42I saw him in me two, three times.
01:22:47See, I wanted to end it.
01:23:07God damn it, I said knock it off!
01:23:30What's the matter with you?
01:23:31What do you mean, what's the matter?
01:23:32You got a wild hair up your ass all week long, you don't take my advice, you leave here sad
01:23:39as a clown, and now you're acting like a god damn lunatic.
01:23:42You just got a lot of head here, that's all.
01:23:43Hey!
01:23:44You better put a hole in that bag!
01:23:45What are you, on drugs or something?
01:23:46Yeah, no, maybe.
01:23:47What the fuck does that mean?
01:23:48Yes or no?
01:23:49Hey, man, can you come over here for a second?
01:23:51Listen, if you're doing drugs on my watch, I'll pound your fucking nuts to gravel.
01:24:08I'm not gonna find anything, I'm telling you, man.
01:24:15No, Roy, I'm telling you.
01:24:18I don't stand for this shit.
01:24:20I don't fucking care.
01:24:22Are you done making a fool out of yourself?
01:24:27I just haven't been feeling it, that's all.
01:24:31I've lost the last three fights,
01:24:33and this one coming up doesn't look too good.
01:24:36I'm not smart enough to go back to school.
01:24:38My job's a dead end.
01:24:40I have no friends, no girlfriend.
01:24:43I have nothing to keep me going, Rick.
01:24:46I want to quit.
01:24:47Don't be a fucking pussy, kid.
01:24:49It's not about being a pussy.
01:24:51Come on, Rick, you know it as well as I do.
01:24:54I'm not going to make it as a fighter.
01:24:57And ten more pounds isn't going to change that.
01:25:01It's not about quitting.
01:25:04It's about facing the truth.
01:25:08Just saving myself the agony of defeat.
01:25:11You know, you sound like a loser now, Roy, you know that?
01:25:15That's because I am one.
01:25:17You know it and I know it.
01:25:19And some positive attitude isn't going to change that.
01:25:22So you can just take your pep talk and shove it up your ass.
01:25:26So what are you going to do?
01:25:29Smoke around here, feel sorry for yourself?
01:25:31You got a better idea?
01:25:35Yeah.
01:25:36What?
01:25:38I'm not going to tell you.
01:25:40You need to find this out on your own.
01:25:42Then what good are you?
01:25:44Roy.
01:26:06Roy.
01:26:09You got no kids.
01:26:11No wife.
01:26:13No job.
01:26:15You're a free man.
01:26:21I'd trade shoes with you in a second.
01:26:24I'd trade shoes with you in a second.
01:26:54Of the morning
01:26:59When the whole wide world
01:27:04Is fast asleep
01:27:09You lie awake
01:27:14And think about the girl
01:27:19And never ever think of counting sheep
01:27:30When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
01:27:40You'd be hers if only she would call
01:27:49In the wee small hours of the morning
01:27:58That's the time you'll miss her most of all
01:28:19You'd be hers if only she would call
01:28:24You'd be hers if only she would call
01:28:48Hi, I thought you would have come first.
01:28:55What brings you here?
01:28:57A few things, really.
01:28:59I miss you, you know.
01:29:02I've been having trouble writing lately.
01:29:05I thought coming back here would help me clear my head about a lot of things.
01:29:08I wrote my first book here.
01:29:10I know, I know. The Endless Affair.
01:29:13Your mother never liked it, God rest her soul, but I thought different.
01:29:17Mom's entitled to her opinion too.
01:29:20So I hope you don't mind me just coming back like this.
01:29:23No, it's a pleasant surprise, actually.
01:29:29And you're in luck. I'm putting the finishing touches on my latest.
01:29:33I'm going to put on a show for you tonight.
01:29:36Well, that's great, Dad.
01:29:38So, what's the matter?
01:29:41Why do you think something's the matter? Do I look bothered?
01:29:46Why don't you come out with me for a drink?
01:29:49Come on outside.
01:29:54It looks beautiful.
01:29:57I have somebody come every few days.
01:30:00I can never maintain such beauty by myself.
01:30:04You must think about Mom all the time.
01:30:08No, I don't really.
01:30:11I always love her, of course, but...
01:30:14I've learned to put her to rest.
01:30:18Emotionally, spiritually, whatever you want to call it.
01:30:22That's a terrible thing to say.
01:30:24It's the truth.
01:30:27Once I set my focus elsewhere,
01:30:31I was able to be a lot more useful.
01:30:35Call it selfish if you like,
01:30:38but it puts me in a better place.
01:30:41So, like I was saying earlier,
01:30:43I'm just here for a few days just to get the new project on its feet.
01:30:47Faye's husband wants to turn Fatal Beauty into a film at Paramount,
01:30:52and I just don't trust anyone over there to draft the screenplay.
01:30:56Wow, that's great news. Congratulations.
01:31:00I guess so.
01:31:01No, really, I mean it.
01:31:03I mean, I always thought your stories were good,
01:31:05and I wanted to share them with people,
01:31:06but I just couldn't get half my friends to read a book.
01:31:09Well, it'll be dumbed down for the masses,
01:31:11so your friends need not worry.
01:31:15So, are they going to keep the title, Fatal Beauty?
01:31:20I suppose so. Why?
01:31:22Well, wasn't that the title of a Whoopi Goldberg movie?
01:31:26I wouldn't know. I don't see Whoopi Goldberg movies.
01:31:34So, how's your album coming?
01:31:36Well, it's been a long, meandering journey,
01:31:42with all the unexpected complications and disappointing payoffs.
01:31:50But that's what us artists strive for, don't we?
01:31:54The misery and the agony.
01:31:57It's like a drug that fuels our creativity.
01:32:04Your mother could never understand what we found so important in our work.
01:32:09She actually thought that talent was useless.
01:32:14Of course, the poor woman couldn't draw a straight line
01:32:16and never worked a day in her life.
01:32:20And there were times I thought I couldn't write.
01:32:24I mean, I used to think that that's all I was good at,
01:32:27all I ever would be good at.
01:32:29Now I can't even put two words together.
01:32:32I'm worthless.
01:32:34Mom, on the other hand,
01:32:37she didn't have an artistic bone in her body.
01:32:40Not one thing she was exceptional at.
01:32:43And yet she was always happy.
01:32:47You know what I mean?
01:33:07I'm getting a divorce.
01:33:13It was going to be a surprise.
01:33:18You notice anything different?
01:33:28Well, this has been one hell of a goddamn afternoon.
01:33:32Of course, your sister comes home having a midlife crisis at age 30.
01:33:36Now my own son comes home after he gets thrown out of his own goddamn house by his own wife.
01:33:40That's got to make you proud.
01:33:42I left him my own dad.
01:33:44What difference does it make?
01:33:48Now all we need is for what's-his-name to show up
01:33:50and we can have a proper goddamn family reunion.
01:33:53I'll just be here for a couple days
01:33:56until I find a cheap apartment in the area.
01:34:02Are you still working?
01:34:05I'm laid off.
01:34:07They didn't give me time to clean up my desk.
01:34:11Well, you're just on a fucking roll, aren't you, buddy boy?
01:34:14I feel like shit as it is, Dad.
01:34:17I just need a couple of days to get my head together
01:34:21and go find a cheap motel in the area.
01:34:26No, no, it's all right. It's all right.
01:34:29I'm sorry.
01:34:31You two have thrown me off.
01:34:35You can stay here as long as you need to, all right?
01:34:41I have to get some rest and we'll talk about it in the morning.
01:34:55Christ sakes.
01:35:02Morning.
01:35:26Morning.
01:35:28Can I grab a towel? Dad said they've been here.
01:35:30Yeah, go ahead.
01:35:32How's Kathy?
01:35:34She's Kathy.
01:35:36What else do you need to know?
01:35:38So what happened?
01:35:40Or do you just not want to talk about it?
01:35:44Mother Nature ran its course.
01:35:46And what's that supposed to mean?
01:35:49You're the writer. Why don't you figure it out?
01:36:00Oh.
01:36:30Yeah.
01:36:40Dad's gonna have a fucking coronary.
01:36:48I find it ironic.
01:36:51No, I find it...
01:36:53fateful.
01:36:56It's the last time the four of us were in the same house together.
01:37:00What was it? Christmas 99?
01:37:06I don't remember.
01:37:08Where is he anyway?
01:37:10He's at the recording studio.
01:37:14Practically had a nervous breakdown last night.
01:37:18Well, I don't plan on staying long.
01:37:20How about you?
01:37:22I haven't even thought past lunch.
01:37:30So what's your excuse?
01:37:35I tried to think of one on the way down.
01:37:38But every time I try to say them out loud,
01:37:41it doesn't make any sense.
01:37:45I don't know what I'm gonna tell him.
01:37:52You gonna go a few rounds?
01:37:54Come on, when was the last time you put on the old gloves?
01:37:57You can go easy on me.
01:37:59I didn't bring my gear. Besides, it wouldn't be fair anyway.
01:38:02Why?
01:38:06Hit me.
01:38:08What?
01:38:09Come on, you're not gonna hurt me.
01:38:11Hit me right here.
01:38:13Don't pull it. I can tell when you're holding back.
01:38:17See, I probably hurt you more than it did me.
01:38:20I didn't even have to lift a finger.
01:38:36What are you doing?
01:38:38It's just so beautiful out here.
01:38:41What happened to your hand?
01:38:43Nothing.
01:38:45So who was at the door earlier?
01:38:47Roy.
01:38:48Roy? What's he doing here?
01:38:50I don't know.
01:38:52I can't imagine Dad having called him to join us, though.
01:38:55Have you talked to him lately?
01:38:57No, I haven't.
01:38:59I should go say hi.
01:39:01No, no, no, no, no.
01:39:03He's kind of upset.
01:39:06My hand's already starting to bruise.
01:39:09My hand's already starting to bruise.
01:39:17So when are you gonna tell me what happened?
01:39:20Oh, it's nothing. Roy and I were fan-approximately.
01:39:23No, with Kathy.
01:39:25Oh.
01:39:30Well, we weren't exactly happy.
01:39:33I wasn't happy, and I can't imagine she felt any different.
01:39:38Then I lost this big deal with our big investors at work, and...
01:39:45Then I came home, and she was with my co-worker, which wasn't a surprise.
01:39:50It was more a relief.
01:39:53Well, at least you didn't have kids.
01:39:57It was bound to happen.
01:40:00Well, I've basically lost all drive to write, or do anything else.
01:40:06I thought coming back here might make things different.
01:40:10Maybe if I hang around Dad long enough, he'll give me some ideas.
01:40:13He's so prolific.
01:40:16If anything, at least I'll have an entertaining, you know, shouting match to transcribe for my memoirs.
01:40:22I can't wait to see his reaction.
01:40:25You don't have to write non-stop. Take a break. Maybe it'll come naturally.
01:40:29A true artist can't have that kind of freedom.
01:40:32I mean, if you're always sitting around waiting for divine intervention, it's never going to come.
01:40:37But you're making yourself miserable.
01:40:39What's art without suffering?
01:40:47You know, Dad always did like you the best.
01:40:51You know, Dad always did like you the best.
01:40:54Oh, please.
01:40:55He still does.
01:40:56No, I never got the artist gene, and Roy hasn't exactly dazzled them.
01:41:01Yeah, but you're successful.
01:41:03Money-wise, at least.
01:41:05Much more than me, and consistently so.
01:41:10That doesn't matter to him.
01:41:21Hey, Greg, you got a text message.
01:41:39Hey.
01:41:41Hey.
01:41:42Jesus, what happened to your hand? Is it broken?
01:41:45For Christ's sake, it's fine.
01:41:47For Christ's sake, it's fine. I know everybody's so concerned.
01:41:51Jesus, can you move your fingers?
01:41:55It's nothing. Roy and I were just...
01:41:57Roy? Roy's here?
01:42:00Yeah, it's like you feared it and it happened.
01:42:03I don't know what he's doing here. He's in the back room.
01:42:06Roy?
01:42:08Roy?
01:42:12Roy?
01:42:14Roy?
01:42:17Hey.
01:42:19Sorry for dropping by without calling first.
01:42:22Well, that seems to be the pattern around here.
01:42:26You're not mad?
01:42:29No, just surprised, that's all.
01:42:33Roy, what happened to Greg's hand?
01:42:37He hit me.
01:42:38He hit you?
01:42:40Yeah, go ask him for yourself if you don't believe me.
01:42:43No, it's okay. I believe you.
01:42:48So, the fighting keeping you in shape?
01:42:52You know, I always wanted to come and see you in the ring, but I never quite got around to it.
01:42:56Well, it looks like your opportunity's passed.
01:42:59I'm hanging up the gloves.
01:43:01You're quitting? But you love the sport.
01:43:05I don't have the fight in me anymore.
01:43:09Jesus Christ.
01:43:11Did everybody collectively decide to have a career change this weekend?
01:43:16It's a lot of things, Hunt.
01:43:19Call me Dad.
01:43:22It's a lot of things, Dad.
01:43:38You two kids have any plans for tonight?
01:43:42Good. Be here around six o'clock. I want you to hear my latest.
01:43:59Have you heard any of his songs before?
01:44:01Of course I have. Have you?
01:44:04He's really good. He sends me his CDs sometimes.
01:44:09Yeah, me too.
01:44:21Sing the goddamn song, Dad, before you choke on it.
01:44:24Quiet in the peanut gallery over there.
01:44:27Ahem.
01:44:35The romance is over
01:44:39You've broken each vow
01:44:45You never loved me
01:44:49I see it all now
01:44:54I should be glad that we're through
01:45:01But I'm still in love with you
01:45:08I'm blue and sentimental
01:45:14My dreams are blue dreams
01:45:19Just won't come true dreams
01:45:23I find
01:45:26Blue and sentimental
01:45:30I can't forget you
01:45:33My heart won't let you
01:45:37Out of my mind
01:45:41It rains all the time
01:45:44Since you said goodbye
01:45:48The skies in my eyes and my heart
01:45:53All cry
01:45:56Blue and sentimental
01:46:00If you don't want me
01:46:04Then why do you taunt me
01:46:08And leave me feeling blue
01:46:13And sentimental
01:46:24What's the matter, Dad? Is the song not done yet?
01:46:28That's about all I have right now.
01:46:33I thought it was good. I liked it.
01:46:37Thanks, guys.
01:46:44Well, I think dinner's about ready.
01:46:48So, what'd you think of the song, at least what you heard so far?
01:46:55Thought it was awesome.
01:46:58How about you, Roy?
01:47:00I loved it.
01:47:03Honey?
01:47:06I thought it was really good. Really.
01:47:12What was that?
01:47:15What was what, son?
01:47:18Well, Roy and I said your song was brilliant.
01:47:21Jill just said it was good.
01:47:23And your face lit up like it was Christmas.
01:47:27I value all of your opinions. What are you trying to imply?
01:47:30Well, I want to know why Jill's say means more than mine.
01:47:33Or Roy's, for that matter.
01:47:38It's an artist's thing, Greg.
01:47:40It's nothing to do, really, with the value of your opinion or what you have to say.
01:47:44It's like a code among artists.
01:47:47If Jill can look me straight in the eyes and tell me that it's really good,
01:47:52then I believe her.
01:47:54So then my opinion is relegated to average Jill horseshit, right?
01:47:59No, that's not it.
01:48:02But I can see you saying something nice, even if you don't really believe it, just to please me.
01:48:10I'm not blowing smoke up your ass, Hunt.
01:48:13And I don't lie to you.
01:48:17I like the song. I would say I didn't like the song if I didn't.
01:48:23Just like I would tell you that I think you've been a shitty father.
01:48:28Now, do you think I would say that?
01:48:30And not say something as silly as, I didn't like your song?
01:48:35It was great. We all loved it.
01:48:38Okay, Greg. That's enough. I've had enough of this.
01:48:40No, you know what? It just fucking pisses me off!
01:48:43Alright, Greg. Alright, I heard you, goddammit!
01:48:47I'm sorry. Your opinion matters to me, okay?
01:48:52Why do you have to act like an adolescent?
01:48:55You're a grown man, for Christ's sake. This is absurd.
01:48:58And you're playing favorites again.
01:49:00I do not play favorites, Greg.
01:49:02All three of you have fucked up, and I've taken you all back in.
01:49:09You know, I haven't talked to you in two years, and I haven't seen you in more than that.
01:49:14Why do I only exist for you when you fail?
01:49:17You three should start thinking about me for a change.
01:49:20Greg. Dad.
01:49:22I think we all agree that the song's great. Let's just leave it at that.
01:49:33So, Jill. How's the book coming along?
01:49:37I thought I made it perfectly clear to everyone that I was going through a little bit of a creative struggle,
01:49:42but I'm going to start writing again soon.
01:49:45I've got a whole head full of ideas and a book filled with notes.
01:49:49When I'm ready, it'll be there.
01:49:52I read Fate of Beauty a while ago.
01:49:54How did you even know about it?
01:49:56Dad told me about it a while ago, so I went out and bought it. I enjoyed it.
01:50:01Really?
01:50:03Yeah. I mean, I can't write a review for you, but just because I didn't graduate from college
01:50:10doesn't mean I can't read a book and know what's going on in it.
01:50:17So, Roy. When's your next boxing match?
01:50:23Well, like everyone here, I think I need to take a break and figure out what it is that I'm doing, you know.
01:50:32See if I want to continue.
01:50:35You give up too easy, Roy.
01:50:38I'm not giving up, Dad. I'm just taking some time off and figuring things out. I don't want to make any mistakes.
01:50:46You quit school, didn't you?
01:50:48Same thing. I'm taking time.
01:50:51Time for what? Time for what, Roy? Everybody has to take their time.
01:50:56What's so precious about time? You pick one thing and you do it. What's so hard?
01:51:01I haven't been feeling it.
01:51:03Why do you have to feel anything? What's so difficult about your life? You have one focus, boxing, and you can't even do that.
01:51:12What's so difficult?
01:51:14Yes, Roy. What's so difficult?
01:51:19God damn it, answer me. I'm asking you a question.
01:51:22You walk around here like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, and what are you carrying?
01:51:27You don't even know. You expect sympathy from me and pity from everybody else, and you don't even know what's...
01:51:32The fuck you know about my life, huh?
01:51:34Roy, I have been there every step of the way for you. I gave you a house. I gave you money. I gave you opportunities.
01:51:41And what have you done for yourself? You haven't done a thing for yourself, Roy.
01:51:44You gave me that shit and that was it. It was not enough.
01:51:49What are you saying, Roy? Are you saying that I don't love you?
01:51:52Is that too difficult for you to say? Is that too fucking sentimental for you to say, Roy?
01:51:56Yeah, you don't love me like you love Greg and Jill.
01:51:59If it wasn't for you feeling so guilty about killing my real father, I could have some adoptive parents raising me that actually gave a shit.
01:52:07How dare you bring your father into this? That was a fucking accident, and I have to live with it every day of my life.
01:52:13I know it was a real inconvenience for you, but did you think about what I might be going through?
01:52:19I'm not smart like Greg. I'm not creative like Jill.
01:52:24Not even your own blood. I'm just some fucking little nigger to you.
01:52:29Shut your mouth, Roy.
01:52:30You know it, and I know it, and everyone else knows it.
01:52:33You made that very clear to me, huh?
01:52:35Shut your fucking mouth.
01:52:36You don't love me. All I was is some fucked up nigger that can't do shit.
01:52:40Well, you know what? You fucked up too. Not with me, but with your son.
01:52:46Greg's marriage was a sham.
01:52:50You may not know the truth, but I do.
01:52:53You may not be happy with what you've created, but your son is a fucking faggot.
01:52:58God damn it!
01:52:59Damn you!
01:53:00I'll kill you!
01:53:01I'll kill you, bitch!
01:53:03God damn it!
01:53:04He's a snitch!
01:53:06Don't hit him, Roy!
01:53:07You'll kill him!
01:53:08Back it off, Greg!
01:53:09You're a fucking nigger!
01:53:10He's a fucking faggot!
01:53:11I'll kill you!
01:53:12I'll beat his ass!
01:53:13What did you do? Out of my house? Fight him off?
01:53:15Me.
01:53:16You're gonna let that barf? Son of a bitch!
01:53:19Don't talk like that in my house! I want you out of here by morning!
01:53:23God damn it!
01:53:25God damn it!
01:53:30I want you out of this house tomorrow morning!
01:53:33Are you okay?
01:54:03Dad?
01:54:12Roy?
01:54:14Dad made breakfast.
01:54:24Dad?
01:54:26Dad!
01:54:29Dad!
01:54:33Dad!
01:54:51How is he?
01:54:55He's got no lip.
01:54:59How long was he up there?
01:55:04Doctors think about 30 minutes.
01:55:12Have you read it yet?
01:55:17The suicide note?
01:55:20I'm afraid to.
01:55:24Please read it.
01:55:26Dad.
01:55:31I write this note to let you know that I have tried to make my life better for you and for myself.
01:55:41But I can't do it.
01:55:46I can only try so hard to be a success.
01:55:48And I can only try so hard to make somebody love me.
01:55:54But when my best is not good enough, what other option is there?
01:56:00I've never been happy a day in my life.
01:56:07And I've always wanted to die.
01:56:12But I can't do it.
01:56:14And I've always wanted to die.
01:56:18Not because I hate myself.
01:56:22But because I want relief.
01:56:25Relief from the non-stop failure and rejection that has plagued my life from the very beginning.
01:56:33I thought if I could wait, it might just get better one day.
01:56:37I thought if I could wait long enough, I'll get to see what romance is.
01:56:42Or friendship.
01:56:46Or just what one victory in the ring feels like.
01:56:52But I've never even come close.
01:56:55It only gets worse.
01:56:58And I can't hopelessly try forever.
01:57:01And I can't hopelessly try forever.
01:57:06Fuck this.
01:57:08It's not your fault.
01:57:12Poor bastard's better off dead.
01:57:15How can you say that?
01:57:20I say that because I really love him.
01:57:23And I can't stand to see him living his life feeling this way.
01:57:26Yeah, but we'll get him help. He doesn't have to suffer like this.
01:57:30What can you do for something like this?
01:57:36I don't know, but people get through it.
01:57:42You don't give a shit, Jill. You never have.
01:57:45You don't care.
01:57:52So where's Greg?
01:57:56He left during the middle of the night. Didn't even leave a note.
01:58:01So what really happened to Roy's real father?
01:58:05I mean, Mom used to always tell us this story, but...
01:58:08I want to know what really happened.
01:58:12We were hunting together.
01:58:16The gun accidentally went off. How was that?
01:58:22He died instantly.
01:58:31It's Jeff. Probably calling about the movie.
01:58:35You gonna answer it?
01:58:37No.
01:58:39I already know what he's going to tell me.
01:59:00I love you.
01:59:30I love you.
