HOW YOU FEELING, MR. -- MR. KLEIN?
SIR, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND --
WHAT'S GOING ON?
MR. KLEIN? YOU'VE BEEN HIT BY A CAR. IT IS IMPORTANT --
I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THAT -- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHERE'S JENNY? LISTEN TO ME. YOU -- YOU WERE IN A CAR ACCIDENT.
LISTEN TO ME -- YOU'VE BEEN HIT BY A CAR.
JENNY!!
YOU HAVE TO FIND JENNY. SHE -- JENNY!
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO STAY --

AH!

A-AH!
AH!
[ BEEPING ] [ Echoing ] MR. KLEIN?
MR. KLEIN?
AH.
I'M DETECTIVE ANDERS.
THIS IS DETECTIVE NAGLE.
[ BEEPING CONTINUES ] WE'RE HERE TO HELP.
BUT WE'RE GONNA NEED YOU TO TELL US EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
[ INDISTINCT TALKING ON P.A. ]
MR. KLEIN? YEAH, YEAH.
HOW DOES HE EXPLAIN THESE?
WHO'S JENNY, MR. KLEIN?
SHE'S MY GIRLFRIEND. I DON'T --
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED?
DID YOU TWO HAVE A FIGHT, SOMEBODY GET HURT?
MR. KLEIN?
UM...
SORRY, MY HEAD'S JUST...
I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER, BUT...I CAN'T.
MAYBE WE COULD START WITH SOMETHING SIMPLE.
START WITH YESTERDAY.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT TIME YOU GOT UP YESTERDAY?
YEAH. YESTERDAY.
[ WOMAN MOANING, MATTRESS CREAKING IN DISTANCE ]
NO, JEN, WHERE YOU GOING?
WHERE ARE MY CIGARETTES?
[ BEEPS ] HELLO?
HELLO?!
Buon giorno.
Shalom.
I'M LOSING MY MIND. MY MIND IS LOST.
ARE THEY IN HERE? NO. HERE.
TASTE THIS, TELL ME WHAT IT NEEDS. I PUT A NEW INGREDIENT IN THERE,
SO I THOUGHT MAYBE -- SEE IF YOU COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT IT --
THERE ARE CIGARETTES IN THIS HOUSE. THEY SHOULD BE HERE.
HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
YOU SHOULDN'T BE SMOKING ANOTHER PACK ANYWAY.
YOUR HEAD IS GONNA EXPLODE!
CAN WE PLEASE NOT DO THIS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING?
DO WHAT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING?
JUST DON'T BE THAT GUY, DAVID, ALL RIGHT?
WHAT GUY? I'M TRYING TO MAKE YOU BREAKFAST.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THAT?!
NOTHING, ALL RIGHT, JUST, WHERE ARE MY CIGARETTES?!
UNH!
[ SIGHS ] LOOKING FOR THESE?
DAVID...
LOOK, DAVID...I'M SORRY, ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
I'M GONNA GO TAKE A WALK.
DAVID?
FUCKING CAT.
DAVID?
I THINK THEY GAVE THE CORNER-STORE DOG A FLEA BATH.
DAVID! [ GASPS ]
AH!
UNH! AH!
UNH! UGH!
UNH! AH!
UNH!
JENNY?
ALAN?
THE GUY WHO KIDNAPPED YOU -- YOU KNOW HIM?
YEAH.
HIS NAME IS ALAN HAMMOND.
OKAY, GET ON THE PHONE TO WESTPORT.
TELL THEM THAT WE'VE GOT A KIDNAPPING,
[ ELEVATOR DINGS ] A POSSIBLE HOSTAGE SITUATION, MAYBE EVEN A HOMICIDE.
SO... [ ELEVATOR DINGS ]
YOU AND MR. HAMMOND -- HOW DO YOU KNOW EACH OTHER?
HE WENT TO COLLEGE WITH JEN AND ME.
AND WHAT EXACTLY WAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP?
IT'S, UH...IT'S COMPLICATED.
JEN AND I MET IN AN ENGLISH SEMINAR JUNIOR YEAR --
MODERN AMERICAN POETRY.
FOR MOST OF THE SEMESTER, SHE WAS THE GIRL
TWO SEATS OVER WHO WAS ALWAYS LATE.
SOMETIME IN MAY, I GOT UP THE COURAGE TO ENGAGE HER
IN A DISCUSSION OF T.S. ELIOT'S THEORY OF INTENTION,
WHICH TURNED INTO AN ARGUMENT
THAT LASTED UNTIL OUR SENIOR YEAR.
Jenny: FEELING IS FIRST.
NO, NO, NO. MM-HMM.
ALL THAT MATTERS IS THE ACT. WHY?
BECAUSE THE ACT IS THE MANIFESTATION OF THE THOUGHT.
OH. THE -- THE INTENTION IS JUST FUEL.
YEAH, BUT, I MEAN, PEOPLE -- THEY WANT TO HELP YOU, RIGHT?
T-THEY'LL GO TO THE STORE FOR YOU,
BUY YOU STUFF.
THAT DOESN'T --
WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE,
WHAT THEY REALLY WANT IS TO SLEEP WITH YOUR SISTER.
NO, I --
NO, NO, NO, NO.
DAVID, I AM RIGHT ABOUT THIS.
I AM -- I AM RIGHT. PEOPLE -- THEY MAY WANT TO HELP YOU,
OR THEY MAY JUST WANT... WHAT THEY WANT.
[ SCOFFS ] LOOK AT ME.
WHAT?
LOOK ME IN THE EYE.
THE ACTION IS I'M LOOKING AT YOU, RIGHT?
THE ACTION IS I'M STARING INTO YOU.
BUT WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT IS...THE WHY.
WHY AM I STARING AT YOU?
I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT DO I WANT?
WHAT...
WILL...I...
DO...NEXT?
OW! [ GIGGLING ]
[ Laughing ] SHIT! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST BIT MY NOSE.
SO THAT WAS PRETTY SWEET WHEN I PINNED THAT GUY AT THE END, EH? YEAH.
AHH! YEAH. MMM.
I'VE GOT ANOTHER ONE THIS FRIDAY IF YOU WANT TO GO. [ Ringing ]
FRIDAY. YEAH.
I SHOULD GET THAT.
BYE.
[ Sighs ] Thanks for the save.
THAT BAD, HUH? [ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]
Nothing. He was totally flat.
YEAH, WELL...YOU SHOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT
WHEN HE INVITED YOU TO HIS WRESTLING MATCH.
I just thought it would have been kinda cute or kinky.
I don't know -- either would have been fine, really.
SO, UM, YOU GOT A -- A PLAN TONIGHT?
Bath, book, bed. You?
WELL, I GOT A PAPER, SO
PROBABLY JUST GO DOWN TO THE COFFEE SHOP, FINISH IT.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
NOTHING.
What's your paper on?
HUH?
Your paper -- What's it on?
How about this -- What class is it for?
NO CLUE.
I'll call you tomorrow, David.
W-WAIT, UH, JEN...
DO YOU BELIEVE THERE'S ONE PERSON?
UM...YOU KNOW, ONE PERSON FOR EVERYONE?
Absolutely.
I believe in destiny.
I believe you just see someone,
and you know right away. [ ZIPPER CLICKS ]
The big green light will go off,
and...that's it.
[ THUMP ] They're the one.
YEAH, YEAH, BUT, I MEAN, WHAT IF YOU DON'T --
I MEAN, WHAT IF YOU DON'T KNOW AT FIRST? WHAT IF IT'S SOMEONE --
LIKE A FRIEND -- AND THEN...YOU KNOW, YOU -- YOU REALIZE IT LATER?
There's a difference between friends and lovers, David.
FUCKING!
[ SOFT ROCK MUSIC PLAYS ] Jenny: WHAT'S THIS?
READ IT.
KLEIN-O-RAMA?
[ Laughing ] THIS IS A CHANCE TO SEE A FAMILY
MORE SCREWED UP THAN YOURS.
SLIM CHANCE.
[ Chuckling ] NO.
BUNCH OF WEIRDOS.
IS THAT CORN?
IT'S A POTATO -- A BAKED POTATO. OH.
[ JUNE CHRISTY'S "YOU'RE MAKING ME CRAZY" PLAYS ] MY UNCLE DOES THIS EVERY YEAR -- GETS EVERYONE TOGETHER --
MY COUSINS, THEIR WIVES. [ SNICKERS ]
LOOK, JENNY, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND
THIS IS NOT MY SIDE OF THE FAMILY.
HEY, DAVID! OKAY?
YOU MADE IT! [ LAUGHS ]
UNCLE FINCH, HOW ARE YOU? HOW'S THE KNEE?
OH...BIG TURNOUT THIS YEAR -- EVERYBODY'S HERE.
EVERYBODY, EVEN YOUR FRIEND MADE IT.
HEY!

YOU'RE VERY GOOD,

IT'S A TRICK NANA TAUGHT ME.
HOLD YOUR PARTNER CLOSE ENOUGH SO YOU CAN FEEL THEIR HEART BEAT.
USE THAT AS YOUR GUIDE.
SMILE A LITTLE.
[ Laughing ] OKAY.
ALAN HAMMOND.
JENNY KELLEY.
WELL, HEY, JENNY.
SO, YOU GUYS USED TO BE ROOMMATES?
UH-HUH, FRESHMAN YEAR. WE GOT ASSIGNED.
ACTUALLY, WHAT YOU NEVER KNEW WAS THAT I WAS BEING PAID TO HANG OUT WITH YOU.
I GOTTA TELL YOU, IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS GUY,
I WOULD HAVE BOMBED OUT FIRST SEMESTER.
[ Laughing ] MM-HMM. INSTEAD, HE BOMBED OUT SECOND SEMESTER.
[ LAUGHTER ] DAVID GOT ME THROUGH.
YEAH, ALMOST KILLING ME IN THE PROCESS.
ALAN GOT ME ARRESTED.
NOT MY FAULT.
STREAKING.
YEAH, ALAN HAS A THING FOR STREAKING.
NO, NO, NO, HERE'S THE STORY.
I CHALLENGED DAVID TO A RACE DOWN MAIN STREET
WEARING NOTHING BUT COWBOY BOOTS. YEE-HAW!
IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT, AND THE STREETS ARE PACKED.
AND WE'RE HALFWAY DOWN THIS BLOCK
OUTSIDE A BURRITO STAND OR SOMETHING, AND DAVID TRIPS,
TUMBLES OUT ONTO THIS STREET,
STOPPING TRAFFIC AND GETTING PAVEMENT BURNS ON HIS ASS.
ON MY KNEES, MY KNEES.
JUST DAVID'S LUCK, OFFICER FRIENDLY STEPS OUT OF THE BURRITO STAND,
SEES DAVID, AND SLAPS THE CUFFS ON HIM.
I MEAN, THE COP WALKED HIM FOUR BLOCKS WITH HIS PACKAGE IN A NAPKIN.
OH! WHERE WERE YOU IN ALL OF THIS?
EXACTLY, EXACTLY, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT, JEN.
HE LEFT ME -- HE FUCKING LEFT ME.
I'M COMING BACK... TO SCHOOL.
WHEN?
NOW.
NOW?! ALAN, CLASSES HAVE BEEN GOING FOR THREE WEEKS.
SO?
YOU'RE BACK.
I'M BACK.
GOD HELP US ALL.
HOW'S THAT FEEL?!
PERFECT.
ALL RIGHT, THIS HAS -- THIS HAS BEEN --
UH, THIS HAS BEEN A BLAST, BUT CAN YOU --
CAN YOU PLEASE PULL THE CAR OVER?
TAKE THE WHEEL, WILL YOU?
WHAT? COME ON.
ON THE COUNT OF THREE, YOU'RE GONNA SLIDE OVER
AND TAKE THE WHEEL, AND I'M GOING OUT THE WINDOW.
ALAN, NOT FUCKING DOING THIS. 1...
NO! ALAN! 2...
STAY IN THE CAR!
2 1/2... ALAN, STAY IN THE CAR!
3! YOU -- AH, SHIT! DON'T YOU...
FUCKIN' DARE! SHIT!
WHOO-HOO!
HAVE YOU COMPLETELY LOST YOUR MIND?
YES.
YOU COULD HAVE KILLED YOURSELF.
NAH, I'M NOT DESTINED TO DIE IN A CAR.
I BELIEVE IN ONLY TWO THINGS --
DESTINY...
AND THE BEAUTY OF THE IMPULSIVE ACT.
WHOO!
d I ONLY WANT TO SEE d
ALL RIGHT, THIS HAS BEEN VERY "TEEN WOLF"-LIKE,
BUT CAN WE PLEASE, UH, CAN I STOP THE CAR NOW?
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, FUN, FUN, FUN -- IT'S ALL FUN
WHOO-HOO-HOO! AND GAMES UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT.
[ LAUGHS ] WHOO!
d THAT I KNOW YOU'RE MEANT TO GIVE YOU SOME dd
ALAN!
A-AH!
[ Panting ] WE'VE BEEN SCOURING THE WOODS FOR OVER AN HOUR.
THERE'S NOTHING OUT HERE.
YEAH, WELL, HALF OF ME BELIEVES
THAT THIS KID IS ON A REALLY BAD DRUG TRIP,
AND I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU FIND THE OTHER TWO
SCREWING AROUND IN THE BACK OF THE CAR WITHIN THE HOUR.
You want me to call it off? NO.
[ SIGHS ] GREAT.
Ann, hang on.
WHAT? DENNY, WHAT'S GOING ON?
THE CAR.
I FOUND THE CAR.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THAT '72 CHEVY IMPALA?
A '72 IMPALA?
THAT'S, UH...
THAT'S ALAN'S CAR. THAT'S RIGHT.
DID YOU F-FIND HER?
IT'S A HEAVILY WOODED AREA, MR. KLEIN.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU REMEMBER? [ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
NOTHING, I...
CAN'T REMEMBER...
ANYTHING.
YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S LIFE IS IN DANGER.
DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?
ALL RIGHT, LET'S KEEP GOING.
[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]
ALAN! [ TIRES SCREECH ]
SO, WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS?
YOU KNOW, MOVIN' AND SHAKIN', SHAKIN' AND MOVIN'.
[ CLATTERING ] OH.
IT'S NOT MINE.
YEAH, I'M S-SURE YOU'RE JUST HOLDING IT FOR A FRIEND.
AS A MATTER OF FACT...
ALAN, AM I INTERRUPTING SOMETHING?
OKAY, TRUTH?
I'M HOLDING IT FOR NANA.
THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.
DAVID?
YEAH, YEAH, WHATEVER.
DAVID IS THE WORST LIAR IN THE WORLD.
YOU KNOW, YOU ASK HIM A QUESTION,
HE TRIES TO SLIP ONE PAST YOU.
GET OFF ME.
LISTEN...[SIGHS]
A BUDDY OF MINE BACK HOME HAS LEFT THE COUNTRY,
AND I'M BABYSITTING. THAT'S ALL.
END OF STORY.
BE CAREFUL, MAN.
HEY, JEN!
ALL RIGHT, HERE'S THE QUESTION.
WHAT IS MORE EVOCATIVE -- HIS TANGLE OF WEEDS,
CONSPIRACY OF WEEDS, OR...
CORNUCOPIA OF WEEDS?
DEFINITELY NOT NUMBER THREE.
[ SIGHS ] SO, I-I WROTE THIS...
[SIGHS] THIS THING.
FOR A CLASS?
NO, NO, NOT FOR A CLASS.
IT'S A...
POEM THING.
SO?
OUT WITH IT.
YEAH?
YEAH.
ALL RIGHT, UH, BE HONEST.
WHEN AM I NOT HONEST?
DON'T HOLD BACK. JUST BE...BRUTAL.
YOU WANT ME TO HATE IT.
YES. I CAN DO THAT.
"HER FEET SOAR, LEAVE THE EARTH...
"UNINHIBITED BY THE CONSPIRACY OF WEEDS THAT ENSNARE ME.
"HER EYES, BLESSED EYES,
"PURSUE RAYS OF MOONLIGHT I AM BLIND TO.
"CAPTURE WONDERS, REAL WONDERS --
"SHE AND GOD ONLY, I THINK,
WHICH MY NERVOUS TENDENCIES DEPRIVE ME."
I MEAN, Y-Y-YOU THINK
THAT "CONSPIRACY" IS -- IS TOO SUBTLE,
OR -- OR HOW ABOUT "FEET LEAVING THE EARTH" --
I MEAN, TOO COMICAL?
THESE -- THESE DISEMBODIED FEET JUST -- JUST SOARING,
JUST -- JUST, YOU KNOW, LIKE, FLYING, LIKE, OUT THERE OVER--
OVERHEAD, OR...
I HATE IT.
OOH-AHH!
UNH!
WHOO!
NICE SHOT.
7-5.
AH, 7-2.
SO, JENNY -- WHAT'S HER DEAL?
HER DEAL? IS SHE SOLO?
DATING, GOT A BOYFRIEND?
8-2.
ANYTHING SERIOUS?
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT SERIOUS.
AND I WOULDN'T SAY SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND.
SHE DOES DATE A LOT.
SHE'S LOOKING. SO, SHE'S AVAILABLE?
YOU'RE NOT HER TYPE, AL.
WHAT'S HER TYPE?
TRUST ME, SHE'S TOO SMART FOR YOU.
UNH!
WHEW!
YOU GOT SOMETHING GOING, DAVID?
[ Panting ] WHAT? NO, NO.
I'M JUST TRYING TO KEEP YOU FROM HUMILIATING YOURSELF.
'CAUSE IF YOU WANT ME TO STAY AWAY, I-I'M VERY COOL.
NO, HEY... YOU'RE A BIG BOY, ALAN.
YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
GOOD.
OOH-AH! [ PANTING ]
HEY.
YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE TWINKIE THING WOULD BE FREAKY ENOUGH
IF YOU DIDN'T ALSO HAVE TO WEAR IT.
WHERE'S YOUR BOYFRIEND?
OH, HE'S WRITING, I THINK.

COME HERE!
HEY, UH... Man: HELLO?
HEY.
WERE YOU SLEEPIN'?
NO.
WANT TO SEE SOMETHING COOL?
CUT THE LIGHTS.
MY OWN PERSONAL GALAXY.
IT'S COOL.
YEAH.
YOUR FRIEND ASKED ME OUT.
IT'S JUST A MOVIE.
[ SIGHS ] OH?
AND WHAT MOVIE ARE YOU GONNA GO SEE?
THAT'S NOT REALLY THE POINT.
JEN...
YOU SHOULD TAKE IT SLOW WITH ALAN.
TAKE IT SLOW WITH ALAN?
YEAH.
HE'S DANGEROUS, JEN.
OH, HE'S DANGEROUS.
YEAH, HE IS.
I'VE SEEN -- I MEAN, FOR A WHILE,
YOU'RE GONNA SEEM LIKE THE ONLY ONE, YOU KNOW?
JUST -- I'VE SEEN WOMEN GET FUCKED OVER.

Pick up the phone, come on.
It's me. I know you're there.
I can see your desk lamp is on, and you always shut it off.
Come on.
All right, fine. Be that way.
But call me.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS AGAIN?
I'VE GOT A PORTRAITURE ASSIGNMENT.
ALL RIGHT.
UM...
WHAT IS IT?
I DON'T KNOW.
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE...
LISTEN, I --
I DON'T SAY THIS STUFF MUCH, OKAY,
SO IT'S GONNA COME OUT STUPID.
BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I'M AROUND YOU, I CAN'T BREATHE.
LIKE I'M AFRAID I'LL FUCK UP THE MOMENT.
IS THAT GOOD OR BAD?
GOOD.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID
ABOUT, UM, THE BEAUTY OF THE IMPULSIVE ACT.
IT'S WHAT I STRIVE FOR. IT'S LIKE ALL --
ALL GREAT PHOTOGRAPHERS --
I MEAN, THEY HAD, IT'S JUST THIS THING THAT JUST --
IT'S JUST THIS IDEA, JUST THIS ITCH
THAT JUST STARTS AT THE BASE OF YOUR SPINE AND --
GOD, I HATE IT WHEN I CAN'T TALK.
I HATE IT
WHEN I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT I WANT TO SAY,
AND I CAN'T.
DO YOU EVER GET THAT?
MM...
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
WOW.
NO HANDS. [ LAUGHS ] [ SHUTTER CLICKS ]
OKAY.
David: DAVID'S MACHINE. SPEAK NOW.

I'm at home. You should call me.
Your desk light is on.
You are very busted.
Now, I'm not sure why you're not ca--
SINCE WHEN DO I HAVE TO TRACK YOU DOWN?
EXCUSE ME.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO HERE?
LOOK, I'M TRYING TO RESPECT YOUR FEELINGS
AND STILL, YOU KNOW, LISTEN TO MINE.
CAN WE AT LEAST TALK ABOUT THIS, PLEASE?
SURE, WE CAN TALK,
AS LONG AS YOU PROMISE TO TAKE THINGS SLOWLY.
DAVID... NO.
I GAVE YOU A PIECE OF ADVICE, JEN,
AND YOU TOTALLY DISREGARDED IT.
SO GREAT. HAVE FUN.
YOU REALLY EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE THIS UPSET
BECAUSE I DIDN'T TAKE YOUR ADVICE?
BELIEVE WHATEVER YOU WANT, JEN.
WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT ANY OF THIS, DAVID?
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU EVEN APPROACHED ROMANTIC NOTION
THAT WASN'T ON PAPER?
SO HE'S IT?
HE'S THE ONE?
I'M REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU.
SPAZ!
HEY!
I TALKED TO A GUY FROM ACROSS THE HALL.
HE SAID YOU LEFT WITH A KITE.
I COULDN'T FIND THE ONE I USED TO BRING,
SO I BOUGHT A NEW ONE AND DECORATED IT MYSELF.
YES, IT IS MY ASS,
AND I FIGURE THIS IS HOW YOU SEE ME FOR THE TIME BEING,
SO I MIGHT AS WELL BE PROUD OF IT, ACCEPT IT,
AND SHOW IT OFF FOR THE WORLD TO SEE.
I MEAN, THE PEOPLE AT KINKO'S WERE NONE TOO HAPPY,
BUT, HEY, FUCK 'EM.
NOTHING A LITTLE WINDEX WON'T TAKE CARE OF, RIGHT?
WHOA!
FUCK!
ALL RIGHT.
HEY, DO YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR ASS UNDER CONTROL THERE, PAL?
A LITTLE KITE LESSON.
TO THE CASUAL OBSERVER,
IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE STRING
IS HOLDING THE KITE BACK --
WITHOUT THE STRING, THE KITE WOULD ESCAPE THE EARTH.
THE REALITY -- THE STRING IS THE ANCHOR.
IT'S THE STRUCTURE THAT ALLOWS THE KITE TO SOAR.
WITHOUT IT...
...UTTER CHAOS.
SO YOU'RE THE STRING?
SHE'S THE KITE?
WHAT AM I?
TALK TO HER, MAN.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY, ALAN.
YOU'RE REALLY FUCKING HER UP.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I MEAN, I KNOW YOU, ALAN.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF.
SHE DOESN'T.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SUSAN.
SUSAN, RENEE, JACKIE.
I'VE CHANGED THAT SHIT!
PEOPLE DON'T CHANGE, ALAN.
COME ON, DAVID. IT WAS THREE FUCKING YEARS AGO, MAN.
YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT I COULD DO THIS, ALAN, BUT I CAN'T.
WHAT IF I ASKED YOU TO WALK AWAY FROM JENNY?
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU I COULDN'T DO THAT?
FUCK.
HUH? OH.
WHA--
W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

ALAN...
GET IN.
UNTIE ME!
WHAT?
UNTIE ME RIGHT NOW!
DON'T MAKE ME USE THESE.
CAN'T YOU HELP ME OUT HERE?!
Jenny: WHERE ARE WE GOING, ALAN?
JUST RELAX.
ENJOY THE RIDE.
WE'RE HERE.
WHERE?
FUCK IT.
THIS IS SO STUPID.
ALLERTON, BUILT IN 1923 BY A MAN NAMED VERNON BROWN --
MILLIONAIRE.
HE HAD TWO SONS AND A WIFE WHO DIED.
THE YOUNGEST SON WAS A FUCKING GENIUS --
A REGULAR EINSTEIN --
SHIT LIKE WRITING A SYMPHONY BY THE TIME HE WAS 15.
THE OTHER SON -- ONE DISASTER AFTER ANOTHER.
OKAY, SO, EVENTUALLY, BAD SON KILLS TWO WOMEN.
SO WHEN THE COPS COME TO PUT HIM AWAY,
BAD BOY ESCAPES AND DISAPPEARS.
SO VERNON HITS THE ROAD IN SEARCH OF BAD BOY.
FIGURES HE'LL FIND HIM AND CLEAR HIS NAME.
HE SPENDS TWO YEARS LOOKING EVERYWHERE.
AND WHEN HE FINALLY GETS BACK TO THE HOUSE, IT'S EMPTY.
THE GOOD SON'S GONE.
THE OLD MAN SPENT THE REST OF HIS LIFE ALONE.
SPENT EVERY DOLLAR HE EVER HAD BUILDING THIS PLACE.
THIS IS A PLACE WHERE A GUY SPENT EVERY BUCK HE EVER HAD
TRYING TO MAKE PEACE AFTER IT WAS TOO LATE.
SIT.
EXCUSE ME?
BOTH OF YOU, SIT.
WE MATTER --
THE THREE OF US.
NOW, I KNOW WE HAVE SOME ISSUES HERE,
BUT FROM THIS MOMENT ON, I WANT EVERYONE TO DEAL.
SO LET'S ALL SAY WE'RE SORRY,
HUG A LITTLE,
AND GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD.
COME ON, I WANT A HUG!
THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS.
I SAID...HUG!
I...
WANT...
A HUG.
ALAN, STOP IT.
WOULD YOU STOP?!
YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT!
YOU CAN'T FORCE US TO MATTER, ALAN!
YOU CAN'T JUST -- YOU CAN'T JUST SAY, "OKAY,"
AND THEN, LIKE MAGIC, EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL!
THIS IS AMERICA, ALAN! REALLY!
[ As David ] "THIS IS AMERICA, ALAN! REALLY!"
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT, DAVID?
NO.
LOOK, GUYS...
I KNOW HOW THESE THINGS GO.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT --
NO, ACTUALLY, I KNOW THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE A THIRD WHEEL.
WE'RE NOT A BICYCLE, DAVID.
WE'RE FRIENDS.
YOU DO MATTER.
YOU WILL ALWAYS MATTER.
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT?
HAPPY?
IN A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN, ACTUALLY.
GOOD.
Jenny: ALAN?
David: ALAN?
ALAN?
DID YOU FIND HIM YET?
AAAAAAAAAAHH!
HA HA HA!
HI.
MEET MY NEW FRIEND.
YOU!
WHOA! NO!
NO! NO, NO!
AHH-AHH!
MY -- MY FRIEND! MY -- MY FRIEND!
[ Echoing ] WHERE THE FUCK IS MY FRIEND?
WE SHOULD STOP NOW, WHILE EVERYTHING IS PERFECT.
WE SHOULD JUST GRAB HOLD OF EACH OTHER...
AND FREEZE TIME.
SO, WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
WHO, VERNON?
HE GOT CLUBBED TO DEATH WITH A SHOVEL.
WOW. SHIT.
NO, BUT HERE'S THE KICKER.
WHEN THEY FOUND HIM DEAD, HE HAD A LOADED SHOTGUN.
SO HE KNEW HIS KILLER, JUST LET HIM DO IT.
SO BAD SON CAME BACK?
THAT'S THE THEORY.
HM.
OKAY, GUYS. LET'S SEE IT.
BEAUTIFUL.
COME ON!
MORE, MORE.
DAVID, MORE.
DAVID, CATCH.
ALL RIGHT.
[ SHUTTER CLICKS ] YOU GOT IT.
15 MINUTES, MAN.
WHAT?
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

WHOO-HOO! WHOO!
I LOVE YOU.

THIS IS THE ONE.
Any sign of anyone?

All right, get up to the house as fast as you can.
OH, BOY.
d POP, YOU GOT TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT d
d IT'S ON TOP d
d MAKE THINGS RIGHT d [ ALAN CHUCKLING ]
YOU SHOULD FINISH YOUR JOKE.
YOU SHOULD GO TALK TO HER. WHAT?
YEAH, DAVID. ASK HER OUT.
NO.
WE KNOW YOU WERE CONSIDERING
THE POLITICAL RAMIFICATIONS
OF "PROWST'S" ROMANTICISM.
IT'S PROUST, AND HE WASN'T POLITICAL.
HE WAS HARDLY A ROMANTIC.
WHAT ABOUT HIS LEGS? NOT AS GOOD AS HERS.
Jenny: DAVID...
FORGET IT, OKAY?
IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS.
FUCK IT. NO! ALAN!
HEY, HOW YOU DOING?
HE IS TRULY AMAZING.
YOU KNOW THERE WERE THESE TWO GIRLS, FRESHMAN YEAR --
RENEE AND JACKIE.
ALAN MET THEM BOTH AT A BAR, AND THEY BOTH TOOK THE BAIT,
AND HE'S GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THEM, FRESHMAN YEAR...
UNTIL THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT EACH OTHER.
AND THEN HE GOT DUMPED?
NO. THEN HE HAD A THREESOME.
IT WAS --
I COME --
I COME BACK TO THE DORM
AND FIND THIS MASS OF FLESH AND CONDOM WRAPPERS EVERY-- DAVID...
WHY WOULD YOU TELL ME THAT?
SORRY.
PIECE OF CAKE.
WHAT?
NOTHING.
SO, WHAT'D YOU TELL HER?
OH, THAT DAVID WAS THE FIRST LIVING RECIPIENT
OF A BABOON'S PENIS,
AND THAT HE WANTED TO TRY IT OUT.
WHAT?
YOU WHAT?
HER NAME IS ELISE.
YOU SHOULD CALL HER.
YOU'RE CRAZY!
Elise: Hello?
HELLO, UH, ELISE?
Hello? Who is this, please?
YEAH, HI, THIS IS D--
[ Chuckles ] Gotcha.
Leave a thingy at the whatchamacallit.
UH...HI.
HI. UH, GOD, THIS IS --
OH, THIS IS AWKWARD.
UM...WE WERE SORT OF INTRODUCED...
[ MOCEAN WORKER'S "TRES TRES CHIC" PLAYS ]
ELISE.
DAVID?
YEAH.
OH, I'M SORRY.
I WAS WAITING OUT FRONT FOR, LIKE, 10 MINUTES, AND --
WELL, YOU KNOW...
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA BE THE OTHER GUY.
NO.
I-I'M JUST ME.
ELISE STEVENS.
DAVID KLEIN.
WHY DON'T WE JUST START OVER?
SO, YOU'RE A WRITER, HUH?
[ CHUCKLES ] YEAH.
I ONCE MET A WRITER.
WELL, KIND OF.
HE CAME TO MY HIGH SCHOOL.
HE WAS THAT GUY WHO WROTE THAT PLAY
ABOUT THAT GUY WHOSE FATHER WAS KILLED BY HIS UNCLE,
AND HE WAS FUCKING HIS MOTHER,
AND THEN, AT THE END, EVERYBODY DIES.
YOU KNOW. THEY MADE IT INTO A MOVIE.
"HAMLET"?
YEAH.
I DIDN'T SEE IT.
IT LOOKED DUMB.
WHOA, WHOA. W-WAIT. WAIT A SECOND.
UH...Y-Y-YOU MET THE WRITER?
Y-YOU MET W-WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE?
UH-HUH. GOT TO SWORD-FIGHT WITH HIM.
UH...
HE'S DEAD.
SHAKESPEARE?
I MEAN,REALLY DEAD.
[ Laughing ] I'M KIDDING.
HE WAS AN ACTOR DRESSED LIKE SHAKESPEARE.
HE HAD ALL THESE SCENES.
HE WAS LIKE THIS SIDESHOW FREAK --
TOTALLY FUCKING BORING.
HE NEEDED A VOLUNTEER. MY FRIENDS MADE ME DO IT.
11 SECONDS OF GLORY UNTIL HE DISARMED ME
AND GOT ME INTO A HALF NELSON.
I THINK HE WAS TRYING TO FEEL ME UP.
[ CHUCKLES ] LIKE YOUR FRIEND THE OTHER NIGHT.
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THAT GUY ANYWAY?
OH, ALAN. RIGHT.
UM...
HE'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND.
OH.
YOU WANT TO COME UP?
SO, WHAT IS IT, "HO" TO "HOR"? NO. Y-YOU HAVE "H-O-R-S."
I HAVE NOTHING.
ALL RIGHT.
EYES CLOSED, STANDING ON ONE LEG.
[ LAUGHS ]
SO, WHAT HAPPENED?
WITH WHAT?
ELISE.
WELL, YOU KNOW.
NO.
WELL, IT STARTED SLOWLY
AND...ENDED NICE.
"NICE"? WHAT THE FUCK IS "NICE"?
DID YOU BANG HER?
[ Chuckling ] NO.
YOU DOG!
YOU FLEA-INFESTED HOUND, YOU BANGED HER.
DETAILS. I WANT DETAILS.
JUST DON'T KISS AND TELL.
GUESS WHAT? OUR BOY FINALLY GOT LAID.
HE CALLED!
MY FATHER! HE CALLED ME.
HE WANTS TO HAVE DINNER.
HE SAID, UH... HE SAID HE MISSED ME.
THIS IS GOING TO BE SO GREAT.
YOU AND ELISE WILL DATE,
AND WE WILL DOUBLE-DATE.
AND YEARS FROM NOW,
THE TWO OF YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE
AND GET MARRIED,
AND YOU'LL COME OVER TO OUR HOUSE,
WHERE YOU WILL LEAVE YOUR KIDS WITH US AND THE BABYSITTER
WHILE THE FOUR OF US GET CHINESE FOOD.
HEY, DAVID...
TAKE OVER FOR ME HERE, WILL YOU?
YEAH.
SOMETHING I SAID?
[ CHUCKLES ] NO.
I'M JUST GONNA GO GET SOME BEER, OKAY?
YOU'RE GOOD.
YEAH.
"KILL BRONTOSAURUS, GET BEER, COME BACK."
SEE YA.
I THINK I'VE PUSHED HIM TOO HARD.
I ASKED HIM TO COME WITH ME TO, UH...
HAVE DINNER WITH MY FATHER TOMORROW NIGHT AND...
I COULD JUST SEE THE PANIC IN HIS EYES. LOOK, I'LL GO TALK TO HIM.
I'LL GO TALK TO HIM. OKAY?
YOU DON'T...HAVE TO.
IT'S FINE.
HEY.
YOU JUST -- JUST DISAPPEARED.
SHE TOLD ME ABOUT THE FATHER THING.
WHY DON'T I JUST GO, YOU KNOW?
I MEAN, IF IT'S TOO MUCH FOR YOU.
YOU WOULD?
OF COURSE.
[ EXHALES SHARPLY ] I GOT A...
I GOT A DATE WITH ELISE,
BUT...I'LL JUST RESCHEDULE.
I'M NOT GONNA FUCK THIS UP, DAVID.
JUST NOT.
SO DON'T.
ALL SET?
HMM.
HEY! [ RAPID FOOTSTEPS ]
HEY. HEY.
I'M GLAD I CAUGHT YOU.
I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE WITHOUT...
THIS IS FOOFUR.
IT'S FROM WHEN I WAS A KID.
Good luck.
SEE YA, DAVID.

NO! NO!
NO!
DON'T BE FUCKING STUPID! GET UP!
WHAT ARE YOU -- JEN, DON'T THROW THE CHAIR.
I WANT IT ALL GONE!
ALL OF IT -- EVERYTHING HE EVER TOUCHED,
EVERYTHING HE EVER LOOKED AT -- I WANT IT ALL GONE!
AGH!
THERE IS NO...ONE.
[ KNOCKING ON DOOR ] Alan: JEN!
JEN, WILL YOU OPEN THE DOOR?!
I JUST WANT TO TALK!
COME ON, IT'S BEEN A WEEK! I KNOW YOU'RE THERE!
YOU CAN'T AVOID ME FOREVER.
I JUST WANT TO FUCKING EXPLAIN.
WILL YOU COME DOWN TO THE FUCKING DOOR?!
FUCK!
[ In distance ] FUCK!
JENNY, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.
GET AWAY FROM ME!
JUST GIVE ME FIVE MINUTES. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!
YOU WALK ALL OVER ME,
YOU STALK ME, AND YOU STILL DON'T KNOW
WHY I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU?!
GO AWAY, ALAN. DAVID, STAY OUT OF THIS.
NO, SHE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU, MAN. SO TAKE A FUCKING HIKE!
JUST LET FUCKING GO!
THE FUCK!
[ BREATHES DEEPLY ] I'M SORRY, MAN.
UGH!
DAVID?
I FUCKED UP.
I KNOW THAT.
I JUST WANTED MY CHANCE TO EXPLAIN.
WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?
WHAT'S UP?
THIS CAME THROUGH MY WINDOW.
WHAT THE FUCK IS HIS PROBLEM?
[ Sobbing ] CAN I STAY?
YEAH, COME IN.
I GOTTA MAKE HIM STOP.
Man: [ On police radio ] YEAH, COPY THAT. THIS IS 1027.
SHIT.
ALAN!
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON, MAN?
I THINK THIS TIP WAS HOT. WE'VE SEIZED NARCOTICS.
WE ARE NOW APPREHENDING THE SUSPECT AND TAKING HIM DOWNTOWN.
OH, SHIT.
[ Panting ] THEY ARRESTED ALAN.
THERE WERE POLICE
THEY WERE COMING OUT OF HIS HOUSE
THEY FOUND THE DRUGS.
JEN?
WHAT?
I THOUGHT...
I GUESS HE'S GONE, HUH?
JEN?
David: AND THAT WAS IT.
I THINK HE SERVED 18 MONTHS.
AFTER HE GOT OUT, I HAD HEARD A LOT OF RUMORS --
HEARD HE WAS INSTITUTIONALIZED FOR A SHORT TIME,
DOING A LOT OF DRUGS.
WHO KNOWS, REALLY?
AFTER GRADUATION, WE MOVED TO THE CITY,
GOT AN UNLISTED PHONE NUMBER, TRIED TO GET ON WITH OUR LIVES.
SOMEHOW HE FOUND US.
WE FOUND THEM. WE FOUND THEM.
GET ME AN AMBULANCE DOWN HERE.
I don't know if they're dead or alive.
Somebody get me an ambulance right now!
STAND UP.
COME ON, STAND UP.
Woman: [ On P.A. ] DR. JONES, YOU ARE NEEDED IN THE E.R.
COME ON. [ Grunting ] ALL RIGHT.
COME ON.
OW! OW!
YOU'RE HURTING ME! YEAH.
[ Crying ] OW!
YOU DON'T REMEMBER YESTERDAY, MR. KLEIN?
BULLSHIT.
OW!
I FOUND THE GUN, I FOUND THE SHELLS,
AND I FOUND YOUR PRINTS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
I WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU GOT OUT OF THE APARTMENT.
TELL ME HOW YOU GOT DOWNSTATE.
WHY DO I HAVE TWO BODIES IN THAT HOUSE?
YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT YESTERDAY?
ATTENTION...
I WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AFTER HE KIDNAPPED YOU.
YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME THAT IT WASN'T MY FAULT.
DAVID!
WHAT? WHOA!
HUHH!
JENNY!
ALAN?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S BEEN LIKE
THINKING ALL THIS TIME, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO FUCKED ME --
DAVID OR JENNY? JENNY OR DAVID?
COUNT THE SPRINGS IN THE BED, COUNT THE TILES ON THE CEILING.
DAVID, JENNY?
JENNY, DAVID?
NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO FUCK UP SOMEONE'S LIFE!
NO ONE!
TELL ME YOU DIDN'T TURN ME IN.
HUH?
WATCH THE ROAD!
ALAN!
[ TIRES SCREECHING ] AGH!
A LITTLE DETOUR HERE.
UNLOCK THE FUCKING CAR!
HEY, T-THEY DON'T UNLOCK FROM THE INSIDE.
REALLY?! FUCK.
WHAT THE FUCK DOES HE WANT?
WHAT DOES HE WANT?
HOW THE HELL WOULD I KNOW?
WELL, MAYBE -- MAYBE IN THE END,
THIS COULD TURN OUT TO BE A GOOD THING.
I'M -- I'M JUST SAYING THAT...THE THREE OF US, WE COULD JUST FINISH IT.
WE COULD GET ON WITH OUR LIVES.
ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT GETTING US OUT OF HERE ALIVE.
[ BREATHES HEAVILY ]
THANK YOU. Woman: HAVE A NICE DAY!
HE SAW THE PHOTO IN YOUR DRAWER.
LOOK ME IN THE EYE,
AND TELL ME THAT SOME PART OF YOU WASN'T HAPPY
WHEN YOU HEARD HIS VOICE THIS MORNING.
[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ] WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON, ALAN?
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ] PATIENCE.
THIS IS -- THIS IS STUPID, ALAN.
REALLY?
YOU'RE GONNA GET EVEN WITH THE BARN?
NOT "GET EVEN" -- "GET RID OF."
IT'S NOT LIKE THE BARN MEANS ANYTHING, DAVID.
I MEAN, I WOULDN'T BURN IT DOWN IF IT DID.
BUT IF YOU CAN SEND A GUY TO PRISON...
IF YOU CAN JUST BURN HIS LIFE...
HUH? JUST SEND HIM TO PRISON...
ONE FUCKING MISTAKE!
WELL, OBVIOUSLY HE DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING EITHER, DID HE?
I MADE ONE MISTAKE!
SHE CAME ON TO ME, DAVID.
SHE CAME ON TO ME.
SHE CAME TO THE HOUSE LOOKING FOR YOU,
SHE ASKED FOR A BEER, AND SHE CAME ON TO ME.
ALAN, THAT'S NOT THE FUCKING POINT.
THAT'S NOT THE POINT, THAT'S NOT THE POINT!
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!
JUST AN ACCIDENT.
END OF STORY.
FUCK!
JENNY DID IT, DIDN'T SHE? HUH?
SHE TURNED ME IN?
YOU TRIED TO STOP HER. YOU TRIED TO STOP HER.
AT LEAST TELL ME YOU TRIED TO STOP HER!
[ Sobbing ] ALAN, THIS IS INSANE, THIS IS INSANE!
[ As David ] "THIS IS INSANE, THIS IS INSANE,
THIS IS INSANE!"
"INSANE"?!
DAVID, LOOK AT ME. LOOK AT ME. LOOK AT ME.
I SPENT 480 DAYS IN JAIL FOR A BLOWJOB.
HUH?
"INSANE"?
AT LEAST YOU FINALLY GOT TO FUCK HER, STUD.
COME ON, BIG BOY.
NO...

ALAN!
I LOVED YOU.
I STILL LOVE YOU!
TELL ME I MEANT SOMETHING.
TELL ME I MEANT SOMETHING TO YOU!
OF COURSE YOU MEANT SOMETHING.
[ Sobbing ] THEN WHY DID YOU TURN ME IN?!
AAAH!
UGH!
JENNY!
THIS IS SO FUCKED.
[ Sobbing ] YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE COME BACK, ALAN.
YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER.
IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?
ALAN...
ALAN, I'M WARNING YOU!
PUT DOWN THE FUCKING AXE.
[ ROCK MUSIC PLAYS SLOWLY ]
PLEASE, DON'T.
YOU SHOT?
I SHOT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I HIT. I DON'T KNOW...

EVERYTHING I DID WAS TO PROTECT HER.
OKAY.ANN...
YEAH? WE'RE BRINGING THEM IN.
WHAT? WAIT. W-WHAT'S GOING ON?
NO, RELAX. RELAX. WAIT. NO.

JEN! DENNY, TAKE HER OUT OF HERE --
NOT BEFORE I TAKE HER STATEMENT. WHAT HAPPENED?
ARE YOU -- DAVID...
[ MUTTERING ] DAVID, RELAX.
COME ON.
Shit, man.
BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I SAW HER. SHE WAS...
SHE WAS DEAD.
UNCONSCIOUS.
AND ALAN?
HE'S IN A COMA.
I DON'T KNOW. WE WERE IN THE WOODS.
AND THEN I WAS...
AND THEN HE HAD A GUN.
AND THEN I FELL.
I TOLD YOU THIS ALREADY.
YOU DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ELSE?
NO.
LOOK, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.
ALAN...
HE WAS OUT OF CONTROL.
H-H-HE WAS CRAZY.
Ann: YOU SHOT?
JUST SELF-DEFENSE.
IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE.
WELL, LET'S HOPE THE D.A. BUYS IT.
SO, THEY JUST GO HOME?
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO KEEP THEM ON?
WE GOT TWO CONSISTENT STORIES, A CLEAR KIDNAPPING,
[ Chuckling ] AND AN EX-CON IN A COMA.
WHERE'S THE CASE, DENNY?
I don't know.
I NEED YOU TO COME IN TOMORROW AND SIGN YOUR STATEMENT.
YEAH.
OKAY.
I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST DON'T KNOW.
TELL ME I MEANT SOMETHING.
I LOVE YOU.
OF COURSE YOU MEAN SOMETHING.
UGH!
[ Echoing ] AAAH!
[ Sobbing ] EXPLAIN IT TO ME.
I'M THE GOOD SON.
I LOVE HER. I TAKE CARE OF HER.
I WORRY ABOUT HER.
I DO EVERYTHING FOR HER.
[ Echoing ] EVERYTHING!
AND NO MATTER WHAT I DO,
SHE STILL WANTS THE FUCKING ASSHOLE.
THANK YOU...
FOR SAVING ME.
HE WAS COMING AT ME WITH AN AX, JEN.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
HE WAS GONNA KILL ME.
[ Sobbing ] I THOUGHT THAT IF I SENT YOU AWAY...
IF I KEPT HER SAFE FROM YOU...
THAT IN TIME, SHE WOULD FINALLY LET GO OF YOU.
YOU SET ME UP?
I DID WHAT HAD TO BE DONE.
YOU FUCKIN' PRICK.
[ Sobbing ] NO, DAVID.
[ Sobbing ] Fuck.
Fuck.
UGH! UGH!
David: YOU THINK YOU KNOW A PERSON.
YOU SPEND TIME WITH THEM --
WHAT SEEMS LIKE YOUR WHOLE LIFE.
AND IN YOUR HEAD,
YOU THINK YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND THEM.
YOU THINK YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT IS IN THEIR HEART.
BUT THE TRUTH...
YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL.
I WAS WRONG ABOUT HIM.
I WAS WRONG ABOUT YOU.
CAN I COME WITH YOU?
WHERE?
HOME.
I WANT TO GO HOME.
Hello?
