Johnny.
You're still afraid.
Stop it, now. I mean it
They're coming to
get you, Barbara.
Stop it. You're ignorant.
They're coming
for you, Barbara.
Stop it. You're
acting like a child.
They're coming for you.
Look, there comes
one of them now.
He'll hear you.
Here he comes now.
I'm getting out of here.
Johnny.
Johnny, help me!
Dude. Where'd you get that?
I got it off this guy
wearing a Lucha Libre mask.
What?
Whoa.
You all good?
Oh, that's you.
Morning.
Hey asshole!
Learn how to drive!
Cellular solutions. Cellular
Solutions, this is Alex.
Cellular Solutions,
this is Alex.
No, we can't send
you a new phone,
but for only $9.99 a month,
I can offer you the extended-
Cellular Solutions,
this is Alex.
No, I didn't say you dropped
your phone in the toilet,
but sometimes that's
a possibility.
Well, no, my
manager's currently unavailable
to assist you at this moment.
So, I guess you're
fucking stuck with me.
I said, I guess you're
fucking stuck with me, Dicky.
What up, bitches?
What the fuck?
- What?
- You're late, again.
Why does it matter?
Nobody's here.
We still have shit to do.
Relax, Vince, too
much stress results
in premature bald-ation.
Baldation isn't a word.
Put these on the rack.
Whatever you
say, Mr. Boss-man.
Oh my God. Look at
her. She's high as fuck.
You're one to talk.
Are you fucking kidding me?
- What?
- How stupid do you think I am
Dude, you're making a
big deal out of nothing.
October, just go home.
What, are you firing me?
Man, fuck this!
I don't need your
stupid fucking job.
Stupid fucking unicorn shirt.
This place fucking sucks anyway
What?
My kid was up all night,
puking his guts out.
I've got to get some
caffeine in my system
or I won't make it to lunch.
Hey, could you
back fuck the up?
What?
I can feel you
breathing on my neck
and it is really
grossing me out.
So, will you just give
me some space, please?
Sorry.
Be still.
Such an artistic genius.
What's that? Quiet.
Get some smoke in there.
Dude, what up, guys?
This is so gonna
go in my portfolio.
I don't know about that.
Get my feet in there.
- Okay.
- They like feet.
What the hell
are you guys doing?
I've been selling my
dirty panties online.
What?
- Yeah.
- Why?
Because rich business
jerks pay top dollar
for used panties.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
You guys are sick.
It's better than selling
overpriced t-shirts
to hipsters for minimum wage.
I like that underwear
though, it's cute.
Thanks Targe.
Dude, you guys.
There's somebody on here
asking for someone to kill him.
Wait, like an assassin?
I don't know. I guess.
Man, there's a lot of fucked
up people in this world.
Yeah.
This guy's probably the
saddest dude in the world.
Wait, are you seriously
responding to that guy?
Yeah. Aren't you a
little bit curious to know
who would post
something like that?
You're disgusting.
I'm disgusting? Okay.
Hey, dude. Do you
mind if I take a bump?
Yeah, I like it.
Hey, you're looking kind
of down. How about a joke?
Why don't Italians like
Jehovah's Witnesses.
I don't know.
They don't like any
fucking witnesses.
Hey, thank you.
Thanks a lot.
All right, you got it, man.
Oh-ho! A
little help, old man.
Can I join you boys?
Yeah. Go ahead.
That was a nice shot, Grandpa.
Hey, this guy's
a fucking beast over here, man.
There you go, you're out!
Ow, you fucking bitch!
Come on, get in the pool.
- Get in the pool.
- Come on.
I can't get wet.
Stephanie, get in
the fucking pool.
Get in the pool.
- Nice hits.
- You're in, wide out.
Get that yellow one over here.
- You got him man.
- He's out, he's out.
Excuse me!
Game's over, time to
go home. Park's closed.
Fuck you, pig.
What did you say, you
little shit? What's your name?
Let's go, Pop.
Let's go, let's go!
Oh, whoa, shit. You
actually said, fuck you, Pig.
Excuse me. Excuse me,
excuse me, excuse me,
excuse me, ladies, little guy.
Are you guests at the hotel?
Yeah.
Okay. Well I just need to
see a little identification.
Okay? It's up your butt
and around the corner.
I need to
see some identification.
Look, I'm not trying
to get fired tonight.
There is no room 69,
so whatever you guys
have been giving her,
don't give her anymore.
- Sir?
- Yes?
Do you treat all of
your guests this way.
Now, that's a
very good question
and I'm glad we are
having this dialogue.
The answer is no because
most of my guests
don't swim in their underwear.
Why? Because you like it?
Daddy like-y?
Guys, what?
You know what? My
daddy owns this hotel,
and you're fucking fired
when he finds out about you.
Hey, hey, Jesus Christ.
Ladies, ladies, ladies.
Your daddy should have
bought you some breath mints.
Fuck you! Fuck you!
Never fails, Jesus.
Ain't you supposed to
be at home or something?
You know like a wife,
kids, uncle, nieces.
I don't know. I
couldn't sleep. I guess.
So would you get in
trouble for being up here?
Nah, man, we come
up here all the time.
Nobody ever sees us.
What's he doing?
This shit's about to
be fucking hilarious.
Come on on old man, settle in.
Chicago to the
recycle, fuck you.
Oh my god.
It's like rent the runway.
Oh shit.
You got another one?
Hey.
Hello.
Are you the guy?
Maybe, I'm Alex.
From the internet.
Yeah, I know.
Why are you looking
at me like that?
I don't know. You're
just not what I expected.
What did you expect?
Someone older.
I'm old enough.
Okay.
So how do we proceed?
We can't talk here.
Well, are you coming or what?
You can take your coat off.
I know, it's stupid.
You did this?
- Yeah.
- I like it.
- You don't have to say that.
- I'm not.
It's really good.
Thanks.
You wanna sit down?
So, how do we proceed?
Well, I don't know.
I've never done anything
like this before.
- Obviously.
- Have you?
No.
Can I ask you a question?
What?
Why are you doing this?
Because I can't do it anymore.
- Do what?
- Any of it?
So, why don't you
just do it yourself?
I've tried.
What is this?
Just some obituaries.
What? Like, you uh, you
cut, you cut all these out.
Yeah.
You wanna see my favorite one?
I guess.
Read it.
Chester McCaffrey, age 83.
He served in the US
Navy from 1945 to 1949.
He was a resident at the North
Halstead Retirement Center.
He vastly enjoyed banana
bread and Miles Davis.
He has no known
surviving family.
That's just sad.
Why do you save these?
I mean, these
people are all dead
and their lives
are just summed up
by a couple of paragraphs.
It seems like the least
I can do is save them.
Um, I
I should go.
- Why?
- No, no, no, no.
This, this was stupid.
Dude. You can't just leave.
I'm sorry. Here.
Um, this is, this is
what I promised you.
Dude!
Hey, wait! Where
are you going?
I've gotta get to a meeting.
A meeting? What the hell dude.
Hey!
Hey!
I'm sorry, but I fucked up.
I don't give a shit.
You can't just leave.
You saw my face.
So?
So?
Are you a cop?
No.
I'm not cop. I'm nobody.
I'm coming with you.
Hey, what? No, no. You
are not coming with me.
Whatever, you're probably
just gonna go rat me out
to the cops.
Seriously, go home.
Ridiculous.
Screw you.
Asshole.
What the fuck is this?
AA meeting. What's so funny?
Dude, what kind of
suicidal loser goes to AA?
You have to keep
it quiet in here.
What step are you on?
Okay, everyone. Thank
you for coming out.
I'm Jerry and I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Jerry.
I do see a couple of new faces
out there today and I wanna
welcome you to the group.
All right, let's go
ahead and open up
the floor for discussion.
- I'll go first.
- Oh, go ahead.
Hi. My name is Pearl
and I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Pearl.
I thank God every day
for giving me the strength
to overcome my addiction.
Before I accepted Jesus
Christ into my heart,
I was powerless
over my sins.
Now, I am powerful
towards life and-
- Miss, miss? please
don't interrupt.
This is a group of unbiased
tolerance and understanding.
Why are you laughing?
It's it's okay. You
know, Pearl, just go ahead.
I just wanted to thank
all of you for your support.
Thanks to your help, I'm
now a recovering alcoholic
for the past eight years.
Woo!
I know. A long time.
Wow.
- Miss, miss.
- Way to go, Pearl.
I'm Alex, and
I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Alex.
Okay. So, I have been
sober for almost three months
and until the other
night and I, uh,
I started thinking about all
the things that I can't control
and I fell off the
deep end again.
I'm a coward.
And I drink because I do not
want to feel, you know? I, uh
I, I drink because I
don't want to be alive.
M-miss, you, uh,
You can't smoke in here, please.
Sure thing, Jer.
You cannot smoke in here.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna
have to ask you to leave.
Thank you.
Okay, okay. Fuck this group.
Fuck you, Jerry.
Fuck You. You pathetic
fucking loser.
I'll be at the bar
across the street
if anyone wants a drink.
Okay. Sometimes,
people aren't ready
to accept this, but
Alex, please continue.
I'm sorry.
I'm, I'm very sorry.
You fucking happy?
You fucking serious
with this shit?
It keeps me going
if I need it to.
So, what? You're never
gonna have a drink again?
I'm just trying to get
through the fucking day, man.
So now, what?
Oh my, now, what?
You had your fun.
So, just go away.
What, are you blowing me off?
Yes. Yes.
Well, fuck, dude.
I mean, I thought we could
hang out or something.
Are you fucking crazy?
No, I'm fucking bored.
Since you were gonna have me
blow your brains out earlier
I figured you didn't
have any other plans.
You were gonna
blow my brains out?
I'm just saying. You
wanna hang out, or what?
What's your name?
October.
- You like pancakes?
- What?
This place is a fucking dump.
I like it.
Yeah. Well it's a shithole.
Have the best blueberry
pancakes in the whole city.
And that sort of
thing impresses you?
You can't smoke in here.
Well, you can't tell
me what to do, Daddy.
You like that? Do you like
when I call you daddy?
No. It's just that you
can't smoke in restaurants
in Chicago anymore.
Since when?
Well, they passed a
law like a long time ago.
There's no smoking
in here, Miss.
You're gonna have
to put it away.
Sure.
Are you ready to order?
Yes. We'll take two orders
of your blueberry pancakes.
And what do you want?
Sausage or bacon?
Who says I want either,
or pancakes for that matter?
She'll take the bacon.
So what do you do?
What do you mean?
I mean, what do you
do with your life?
Like you have a
job or something?
Well, I was going to art
school, but taking a break.
- Why?
- What does it matter?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to initiate
a conversation. I mean,
you're the one who suggested
we should hang out.
I'm taking a break
because I feel like it
I just gotta figure
some shit out.
What? You wanna know
something else about me?
What else do you wanna know?
You wanna know my birthday?
My Zodiac sign?
Maybe favorite sexual position?
Oh my geez, could you just
please not talk like that?
Whatever you want. Daddy.
Do you do this often?
What? Eat
blueberry pancakes
at shitty diners?
No meet strange
men off the internet.
Well, when you put it like that.
I'm just curious.
I didn't know that people
could hire other people
off the internet
to kill them, so.
Well, I was having
a bad couple of days.
Yeah, well, join the club pal.
Why do you wanna die so badly?
I have my reasons.
What, you just
changed your mind?
For now.
You're like, the biggest
psycho I've ever met.
Says the girl with
the purple hair.
- I like my purple hair.
- It's a look.
It's a good look.
October, this is bad.
Really weird.
So what are you doing, now?
Do you want some company?
Why do you want
to hang out with me?
Look, if you
don't want me to hang around,
just say so.
No, it's okay.
Here. We're gonna have to
get you a heavier coat.
Yeah. Thanks.
Whoa. So are you a
serial killer or?
No. Just divorced.
How long were you married?
I'd rather not talk about it.
So, she got everything, huh?
I don't need all
that stuff around me.
Kind of looks
like you got robbed.
How do you live like this?
It suits me.
Dude. Holy shit!
Oh no.
This is for you.
What is it?
It's a prehistoric,
mutated lizard.
The horns on his face
are for self defense.
Thanks.
Why do you have all these?
I saved them for my kids.
- You have kids?
- Mm-hmm.
- How many?
- Two.
Boys or girls?
I have a boy,
and I have a girl.
What are their names?
My son's name is Kyle and
my daughter's name is June.
She was named after
a month, like me.
Yep.
Do they like you?
What kind of question is that?
I don't know.
Most kids hate their parents.
I hated mine.
Well, I think June
is still on the fence.
Kyle will always hate me.
Let's go.
- So, where are we going?
- You ask a lot of questions.
Well, I just wanna make sure
you're not a murderer
or something.
No-one's forcing you to come.
So, say you're not a murderer.
- Seriously?
- Yeah. Say it.
I'm not a murderer. All right?
Was that so hard?
You have any like,
gum or anything?
- Holy shit!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Dude, you have a fucking gun.
You have a fucking
gun. You're a murderer.
No, I'm not a murderer.
Then. Why are
you packing heat?
Are you in a gang?
Are you in a gang like old
dudes that do drive-bys
at rival nursing homes and shit?
Cute.
So, is that how you
tried to kill yourself?
Oh. Fuck, dude.
Yep.
How old are you?
How old do you think I am?
I don't
know. Like, 50.
- Really?
- What?
I'm 45.
No shit, really?
What? Why is that so shocking?
Just, I don't know.
It just sounds old.
Well, it is.
You don't really
look that old.
Yes I do.
No. I mean, you
could pass for like,
I don't know, like 35.
Thank you.
Where, where are we?
Huh. October, just
wait here for a minute.
I'll be right back.
- What are you doing here?
- Hey, could I see June?
Alex, I, I can't
do this again, okay?
You just can't keep
showing up here like this.
Please? I, I just,
just wanna say hello.
Yeah, it's not gonna happen.
Come on, Sara.
What do you expect me to do?
Well, just gimme a chance.
I've given you a chance. I've
given you a million chances.
Okay? All right.
Look, give her this.
- Alex.
- Please, Sara, come on.
Give it to her. Just, you
don't even gotta tell her
it's from me.
- You have to go. Okay?
- Okay.
Fuck it.
Oh no, no. You
can't smoke in here.
- Why not?
- Because I said so.
Oh, okay.
- I mean it.
- Oh, come on, dude.
Look, I'm not even
bothering you.
Oh, hey, asshole. What the fuck?
It's a nasty habit.
You should quit.
You should stop
telling me what to do.
Who was that woman?
So, what? You're not
talking to me now.
I don't feel like talking.
Was that your wife?
- Ex-wife.
- What's her name.
Fuck! Why do you ask so
many goddamn questions?
Let me out of the car.
- What?
- Let me out!
No, I'm not gonna let you
out on the side of the road.
I can find my own
way home. Thank you.
Will you stop it?
You're not getting out.
- Well then, let me drive.
- Why.
Either let me outta
the car, or let me drive.
Oh my God. What the
hell are you doing?
Whoa.
Driving.
Well, you drive like shit.
Where are we going?
I need to take
care of something.
- Come on.
- What are we doing?
Why do you ask so
many goddamn questions?
- Should I be worried?
- Probably.
Okay.
Aren't you a
little bit too old
to be hanging out with
my 24-year-old daughter.
Oh.
Leave him alone.
He's a friend.
Okay.
Good to see you too, Mother.
So, what is this shit
about dropping out?
What are you talking about?
You got a letter
from the Government
demanding repayment of
the grant they gave you
because you didn't
complete the semester.
What, are you going
through my mail?
It was addressed to me,
as your legal guardian.
Don't flatter yourself, Betty.
You're not my guardian.
Why didn't you tell
me you dropped out?
I didn't drop out.
I'm just taking a break.
Well, as far as the United
States Government is concerned,
you're a dropout!
What are you looking for?
Savings my sick
Grandma Lilly gave me.
What the fuck did
you do with them?
I sold them.
You what?
I sold them.
Those weren't yours to sell.
Well, when you write a $300
check of mine in your name,
I figure you owe me.
God dammit, Betty.
I fucking need those.
Why, to go and get high?
That is not how I raised you.
No, you raised me to be a
pathetic, fall-down drunk.
I just didn't follow-
You couldn't hurt
me if you tried.
What is with you, man?
Do you wanna talk
about anything?
There's nothing to talk about.
Yeah. It's really
hard to be a parent.
What are you
actually defending her?
No, no, I am not.
I'm just, I'm just
saying that uh, sometimes
it's really, really hard.
I mean, as a parent,
you're supposed to have
all of the answers
and most of the time,
you're just as clueless as
your kids, if not, more.
She's not really a parent.
She's a crazy lady I was
forced to be raised by.
She's only happy when I fuck up.
That's how my old man was.
How so?
He just loved to tell
me how I was always
wrong about everything.
He was a big military guy.
Thought it was our duty
to serve our country.
He was pissed off when
I didn't join The Army.
And then he spent the
rest of his life thinking
I was a coward.
I think I see, he was right.
Well, at least
you can do something
different with your kids.
You wanna go to the movies?
Possibly take all the racket.
Those, those things smashing
through the windows.
Well you're her father.
If you're stupid enough
to go die on that trap,
That's your business. However,
I am not stupid enough
to follow you. It is
tough for the kid.
That old man is so stupid.
Now, get the hell
down in the cellar.
You can be the boss down
there. I'm boss up here.
You know, I want to
open this door again.
I mean it. Mr. Cooper,
with your help, we can-
- With my help?
Let him go, man.
His mind is made up.
Just let him go.
Do you ever wonder what
your life would be like
if you never got
married or had kids.
Yeah, but that kind of thinking
doesn't get me anywhere.
Can we go somewhere?
I wanna show you something.
- Where.
- It's a surprise.
Come on.
Why'd you bring me here?
Where I go when I need to cry.
What is it about this place?
I don't know.
I guess that I like that no
one can hear me over the sound
of the waves crashing and...
- And what?
- Nothing. It's stupid.
I believe we've passed
that portion of the evening.
I guess it makes
me feel better
knowing that my
tears hit the water
and become something bigger.
Told you it was stupid.
I don't think it's stupid.
I think it's actually
quite beautiful.
Tell me something no-one
else knows about you.
I uh, tried to kill myself
the other night with that gun
you found in my car
at this exact spot.
Are you serious?
Kind of hard to believe, huh?
What happened?
Same thing that
always happens.
I couldn't bring myself
to pull the trigger.
When I was 14. I um, I
swallowed a bottle of pills
that I found in my
mom's medicine cabinet.
You did that?
Yeah, I don't know why.
I just remember
flashes of things.
There was an ambulance that
came to my house and I remember
these coarse fingers
holding my mouth open.
They pumped my stomach.
You dunno why you did that?
I don't know. Bored, I guess.
You sure do seem
to get bored a lot.
Yeah.
You bored now?
I don't know what I am now.
Cold. That's what I am.
You cold?
What is this?
It's a party, dumb-ass.
Uh-uh. Nope. I
shouldn't be here.
Oh, come on, dude. Chill
out. It's gonna be fine.
No, I, I gotta go to
work tomorrow morning.
I gotta take off.
Relax. Take your
coat off. Chill out.
Let's have some fun.
October!
It's my birthday.
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
Who's, who's that?
It's Alex.
Oh!
Mwah!
You're welcome.
- Happy birthday, Stephanie.
- Thank you.
It's Stephanie's birthday!
We'll see you later.
Happy birthday, Steph.
Yo, what's good?
You make it to Coffin's
show last night?
No, I got a little distracted.
My God. He's brilliant
since his mom died.
So, in my dream, I was
like ninja warrior, princess.
And I had to, I had to fight
to protect my red balloon
Because of the whole reality.
What's up, man? You
came with October, right?
The hardest part, raging.
Yo, who's that
guy you came with?
I don't know.
He's just a friend.
Living out that
daddy fantasy for real, huh?
I mean?
Fuck you guys.
What, are you jealous?
What the fuck's
wrong with you?
Nothing. I just, I don't
feel like, I don't know.
I'm not in it tonight.
See you guys later.
Where are you going?
So, how'd you
and October meet?
We just, we just met
recently at the record store.
Oh, so you're at a
party with her now?
Yeah, I guess.
So, what are your
intentions with her?
What do you mean?
I mean, what do
you wanna do to her?
Well, I don't intend
to do anything to her.
Just so you know, I know her.
In fact, I know her very well.
October can get confused
in life sometimes.
And what she doesn't need
is someone coming in and
manipulating her to do things
that she doesn't need to be
doing, you know?
Well, I'm not manipulating
her to do anything.
And as a friend, maybe
you should give her
a little more credit.
Yeah. I'll do that.
- Nice to meet you.
- Sir.
Oh my God. Oh, fuck!
Oh, what?
Oh, fuck! I'm late for work.
- So?
- I can't be late for work.
I'll call you later.
Bye.
Yes, ma'am, and
have a great day.
Hey, Alex.
Could you join me in
my office for a minute?
So, what's going on?
What do you mean?
Why you were late today?
Oh yeah.
I'm sorry about that.
What happened?
Nothing. I mean,
I just overslept.
- Overslept.
- Yep.
Is there something
you wanna tell me?
- Nope.
- You sure?
If you got something to
say, you should just say it.
This is all just
very familiar, Alex.
What's that, Patrick?
You, showing up late
to work oversleeping.
If you don't remember, we've
had this problem before.
Hey, uh. Yeah. But today is
not like those other times.
Yeah. I've heard
that before too.
I'm sorry. Man, I overslept.
These things happen.
They seem like they
happen to you a lot.
Man, you're blowing this
thing way out of proportion.
I stuck my neck on
the line for you before,
because you promised me you had
your problems under control.
You looked at me straight
in my face and you told me
I wasn't gonna have to
deal with this anymore.
I was late. It's
a one-time thing.
I'm not drunk.
I haven't been drinking.
Yeah. Well, this
is how it starts.
Next thing I know, you're not
showing up to work for days
and I got your wife
calling me, the police.
This is an office, Alex.
This is a place of business,
and I don't have time
for any more excuses.
Listen, I know things
have been rough
since you and Sara separated.
I can't even fathom what
you had to go through,
the devastation of
losing a child like that.
Kyle was too young to have
had to go through any of that.
Don't you ever say his
name? You know nothing.
I'm sorry, Alex.
You couldn't even possibly
imagine what it feels like to
watch your son
just wither away.
Be powerless to do
anything about it.
You spare me the
fucking pep talk, yeah?
Well, despite everything
there comes a point
when enough is enough. We're
gonna have to let you go.
No, you can't.
You can't fire me.
Patrick, I need this job.
I'm sorry, Alex. It is
outta my hands at this point.
Wow. You're a
real piece of work.
Go Fuck yourself.
Yo. What was your
problem last night?
Good morning to you too.
Why'd you blow us off?
I just didn't feel
like it last night.
You like a straight-edge now?
No, I just need a break.
- From what?
- Everything.
So, what do you want?
I don't know.
Something different.
What's so funny.
It's just you. You're never
satisfied with something.
You always want
something different.
First, you're a
photographer, then a painter,
then a writer. Tomorrow,
you'll probably be a dentist.
Fuck you Josh.
Sorry I don't have it all
figured out Like you do.
It must be really
nice living off
Mommy and Daddy's trust fund.
Here.
It's for when you
change your mind, again.
See you around.
What are you doing here?
Bored. Thought maybe
we could do something.
I don't have
time for this shit.
Hey Alex, Alex!
Dude, what's your problem?
Alex!
Asshole, I'm talking to you
Not now. Go home.
What the fuck? Alex, hold on.
- Hey!
- What the fuck?
I said go home.
I'm not going anywhere.
October, I don't wanna
play house with you anymore.
What?
I'm not your boyfriend
and I am definitely
not your fucking daddy. So
whatever fantasy you got
playing in your head is
over. So go home. go home.
Hey, don't you, don't.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
The fuck is wrong with you?
Next time, pull
the fucking trigger.
Alex, where the hell you been?
Ah, I been around.
Haven't seen you in a while.
We were just talking about you.
Yep. Can I get a drink?
Yeah, sure.
What'll it be your,
your usual I assume?
- Yeah.
- All right.
You alright?
Yeah, pour the drink.
Hey, what's up?
Thank God.
Sweeney, fill me up.
I think you've had
enough for the night.
Well, I'm not paying
you for your thinking.
So, fill up the glass.
I can't do that.
Hey, Hey!
Tom, time you were
going home, Alex.
Fill up my fucking glass.
Alex, take it fucking easy.
Get your fucking hands off me.
Get your fucking
hands off of me!
Let me at least
call you a cab.
You have kids?
Son's name is Kyle.
My daughter's name is June.
What you doing here?
Are you ever coming back home?
I'm always gonna
be your daddy.
I promise, okay?
Watch where you're
going, asshole!
Two, three, four,

I came here to watch you dance
and you were doing so good.
So good. June-y.
Are you okay?
Ah, June.
Dad?
Oh I'm yes I'm. Okay.
How would you like the greatest
blueberry pancakes
in the whole world?
Everything okay, June?
Oh, yes everything's okay.
I'm her father. I'll be,

I'm okay.
Okay. I'll just help
you get her stuff. Okay?
Yeah, I'll be right back.
Okay.
It's me. It's Alex.
Where are you?
I'm sorry about
it earlier. I, I,
I should not have
acted like that.
I mean, I fucked up.
I, I got really fucked up, yes.
Who were you talking to?
Hmm. Oh, I was just
talking to a friend.
Was it the girl who
was sitting in the car
when you came to our house?
You saw us?
I was watching
from the window.
Yeah, it was, it
was the same girl.
- I like her hair.
- You do?
I like it too.
- So good.
- Aren't they?
The best pancakes in the
whole city. That's what I say.
Sir, is that your
silver Outback outside?
Yeah. Why?
We're gonna need you to
come with us for a minute.
Dad, what's going on?
It's all right, Sweetie.
Let me talk to these guys.
There's a misunderstanding here.
Sir, can you put your hands
out where I can see 'em?
Absolutely. Absolutely.
I just wanna talk to you.
And stay calm
Sir, have you've
been drinking tonight?
What are you talking about?
Sir, I'm gonna
need you to put your hands
behind your back.
Dad?
Everything's okay sweetheart.
Sir, put your hands
behind your back.
Hey, you don't yell at me.
Let go of him, let go! Let go!
Get your hands off of me
Get down to the ground.
Wilson, call an ambulance.
It's okay.
June, June, it's
okay, sweetheart.
It's okay, baby.
It's alright, June.
Don't cry. Don't cry.
It's just a mistake.
They just made a mistake.
They just made a little mistake.
Okay, copy that.
What happened to my daughter?
I don't know
anything about it, sir.
They'll be with you in a minute.
I'm really worried about her.
Do you know if she's okay.
Sir, when I know
something I will inform you.
Please, just tell me she's okay.
June?
June-y!
Come on.
Belt, shoes,
tie. Anything else?
Necklace, come on, everything.
Everything. That,
that that's mine.
Turn around. Hands
on the wall. Come on.
Oh God, oh my God.
Fucking hate you.
Fucking hate you.
Sara?
What the is fuck
wrong with you?
I messed up.
No, no, don't. You don't
get to make excuses anymore.
You don't.
I am not here to pick up the
pieces when you fall apart.
That's not my job anymore.
You are drunk again.
You could have killed her.
Could have killed her!
You will never
You will never come
around us ever again.
Do you get that?
Oh no, please don't do that.
You did this, you fuck!
You did his. You did it.
Goodbye, Alex. Goodbye.
Let's go.
$75 For the lot
fee, $150 for the tow.
Round back.
I need help.
Me too.
Do you wanna go somewhere?
Where do you wanna go?
I don't know.
Anywhere.
Yeah. Yeah.
You look like shit.
Well, it's been quite a night.
Do you know
someone buried here?
Yeah, my son.
What?
He died three years ago.
I've never talked
about it to anyone.
How did he die?
He was sick.
He had a rare
cancer in his bones.
He uh, fought it for
a really long time.
He was a tough kid.
He, he loved baseball.
He was really good at baseball.
I dunno what to
say. I'm sorry.
Oh, it's okay.
After Kyle died,
everyone felt like they
had to give me a big speech
and try and comfort me.
I prefer if people just
don't say anything at all,
but
Do you wanna
get some shitty pancakes?
Johnny.
You're still afraid.
Stop it, now. I mean it
They're coming to
get you, Barbara.
Stop it. You're ignorant.
They're coming
for you, Barbara.
Stop it. You're
acting like a child.
They're coming for you.
Look, there comes
one of them now.
He'll hear you.
Here he comes now.
I'm getting out of here.
Johnny.
Johnny, help me!
Dude. Where'd you get that?
I got it off this guy
wearing a Lucha Libre mask.
What?
Whoa.
You all good?
Oh, that's you.
Morning.
Hey asshole!
Learn how to drive!
Cellular solutions. Cellular
Solutions, this is Alex.
Cellular Solutions,
this is Alex.
No, we can't send
you a new phone,
but for only $9.99 a month,
I can offer you the extended-
Cellular Solutions,
this is Alex.
No, I didn't say you dropped
your phone in the toilet,
but sometimes that's
a possibility.
Well, no, my
manager's currently unavailable
to assist you at this moment.
So, I guess you're
fucking stuck with me.
I said, I guess you're
fucking stuck with me, Dicky.
What up, bitches?
What the fuck?
- What?
- You're late, again.
Why does it matter?
Nobody's here.
We still have shit to do.
Relax, Vince, too
much stress results
in premature bald-ation.
Baldation isn't a word.
Put these on the rack.
Whatever you
say, Mr. Boss-man.
Oh my God. Look at
her. She's high as fuck.
You're one to talk.
Are you fucking kidding me?
- What?
- How stupid do you think I am
Dude, you're making a
big deal out of nothing.
October, just go home.
What, are you firing me?
Man, fuck this!
I don't need your
stupid fucking job.
Stupid fucking unicorn shirt.
This place fucking sucks anyway
What?
My kid was up all night,
puking his guts out.
I've got to get some
caffeine in my system
or I won't make it to lunch.
Hey, could you
back fuck the up?
What?
I can feel you
breathing on my neck
and it is really
grossing me out.
So, will you just give
me some space, please?
Sorry.
Be still.
Such an artistic genius.
What's that? Quiet.
Get some smoke in there.
Dude, what up, guys?
This is so gonna
go in my portfolio.
I don't know about that.
Get my feet in there.
- Okay.
- They like feet.
What the hell
are you guys doing?
I've been selling my
dirty panties online.
What?
- Yeah.
- Why?
Because rich business
jerks pay top dollar
for used panties.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
You guys are sick.
It's better than selling
overpriced t-shirts
to hipsters for minimum wage.
I like that underwear
though, it's cute.
Thanks Targe.
Dude, you guys.
There's somebody on here
asking for someone to kill him.
Wait, like an assassin?
I don't know. I guess.
Man, there's a lot of fucked
up people in this world.
Yeah.
This guy's probably the
saddest dude in the world.
Wait, are you seriously
responding to that guy?
Yeah. Aren't you a
little bit curious to know
who would post
something like that?
You're disgusting.
I'm disgusting? Okay.
Hey, dude. Do you
mind if I take a bump?
Yeah, I like it.
Hey, you're looking kind
of down. How about a joke?
Why don't Italians like
Jehovah's Witnesses.
I don't know.
They don't like any
fucking witnesses.
Hey, thank you.
Thanks a lot.
All right, you got it, man.
Oh-ho! A
little help, old man.
Can I join you boys?
Yeah. Go ahead.
That was a nice shot, Grandpa.
Hey, this guy's
a fucking beast over here, man.
There you go, you're out!
Ow, you fucking bitch!
Come on, get in the pool.
- Get in the pool.
- Come on.
I can't get wet.
Stephanie, get in
the fucking pool.
Get in the pool.
- Nice hits.
- You're in, wide out.
Get that yellow one over here.
- You got him man.
- He's out, he's out.
Excuse me!
Game's over, time to
go home. Park's closed.
Fuck you, pig.
What did you say, you
little shit? What's your name?
Let's go, Pop.
Let's go, let's go!
Oh, whoa, shit. You
actually said, fuck you, Pig.
Excuse me. Excuse me,
excuse me, excuse me,
excuse me, ladies, little guy.
Are you guests at the hotel?
Yeah.
Okay. Well I just need to
see a little identification.
Okay? It's up your butt
and around the corner.
I need to
see some identification.
Look, I'm not trying
to get fired tonight.
There is no room 69,
so whatever you guys
have been giving her,
don't give her anymore.
- Sir?
- Yes?
Do you treat all of
your guests this way.
Now, that's a
very good question
and I'm glad we are
having this dialogue.
The answer is no because
most of my guests
don't swim in their underwear.
Why? Because you like it?
Daddy like-y?
Guys, what?
You know what? My
daddy owns this hotel,
and you're fucking fired
when he finds out about you.
Hey, hey, Jesus Christ.
Ladies, ladies, ladies.
Your daddy should have
bought you some breath mints.
Fuck you! Fuck you!
Never fails, Jesus.
Ain't you supposed to
be at home or something?
You know like a wife,
kids, uncle, nieces.
I don't know. I
couldn't sleep. I guess.
So would you get in
trouble for being up here?
Nah, man, we come
up here all the time.
Nobody ever sees us.
What's he doing?
This shit's about to
be fucking hilarious.
Come on on old man, settle in.
Chicago to the
recycle, fuck you.
Oh my god.
It's like rent the runway.
Oh shit.
You got another one?
Hey.
Hello.
Are you the guy?
Maybe, I'm Alex.
From the internet.
Yeah, I know.
Why are you looking
at me like that?
I don't know. You're
just not what I expected.
What did you expect?
Someone older.
I'm old enough.
Okay.
So how do we proceed?
We can't talk here.
Well, are you coming or what?
You can take your coat off.
I know, it's stupid.
You did this?
- Yeah.
- I like it.
- You don't have to say that.
- I'm not.
It's really good.
Thanks.
You wanna sit down?
So, how do we proceed?
Well, I don't know.
I've never done anything
like this before.
- Obviously.
- Have you?
No.
Can I ask you a question?
What?
Why are you doing this?
Because I can't do it anymore.
- Do what?
- Any of it?
So, why don't you
just do it yourself?
I've tried.
What is this?
Just some obituaries.
What? Like, you uh, you
cut, you cut all these out.
Yeah.
You wanna see my favorite one?
I guess.
Read it.
Chester McCaffrey, age 83.
He served in the US
Navy from 1945 to 1949.
He was a resident at the North
Halstead Retirement Center.
He vastly enjoyed banana
bread and Miles Davis.
He has no known
surviving family.
That's just sad.
Why do you save these?
I mean, these
people are all dead
and their lives
are just summed up
by a couple of paragraphs.
It seems like the least
I can do is save them.
Um, I
I should go.
- Why?
- No, no, no, no.
This, this was stupid.
Dude. You can't just leave.
I'm sorry. Here.
Um, this is, this is
what I promised you.
Dude!
Hey, wait! Where
are you going?
I've gotta get to a meeting.
A meeting? What the hell dude.
Hey!
Hey!
I'm sorry, but I fucked up.
I don't give a shit.
You can't just leave.
You saw my face.
So?
So?
Are you a cop?
No.
I'm not cop. I'm nobody.
I'm coming with you.
Hey, what? No, no. You
are not coming with me.
Whatever, you're probably
just gonna go rat me out
to the cops.
Seriously, go home.
Ridiculous.
Screw you.
Asshole.
What the fuck is this?
AA meeting. What's so funny?
Dude, what kind of
suicidal loser goes to AA?
You have to keep
it quiet in here.
What step are you on?
Okay, everyone. Thank
you for coming out.
I'm Jerry and I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Jerry.
I do see a couple of new faces
out there today and I wanna
welcome you to the group.
All right, let's go
ahead and open up
the floor for discussion.
- I'll go first.
- Oh, go ahead.
Hi. My name is Pearl
and I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Pearl.
I thank God every day
for giving me the strength
to overcome my addiction.
Before I accepted Jesus
Christ into my heart,
I was powerless
over my sins.
Now, I am powerful
towards life and-
- Miss, miss? please
don't interrupt.
This is a group of unbiased
tolerance and understanding.
Why are you laughing?
It's it's okay. You
know, Pearl, just go ahead.
I just wanted to thank
all of you for your support.
Thanks to your help, I'm
now a recovering alcoholic
for the past eight years.
Woo!
I know. A long time.
Wow.
- Miss, miss.
- Way to go, Pearl.
I'm Alex, and
I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Alex.
Okay. So, I have been
sober for almost three months
and until the other
night and I, uh,
I started thinking about all
the things that I can't control
and I fell off the
deep end again.
I'm a coward.
And I drink because I do not
want to feel, you know? I, uh
I, I drink because I
don't want to be alive.
M-miss, you, uh,
You can't smoke in here, please.
Sure thing, Jer.
You cannot smoke in here.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna
have to ask you to leave.
Thank you.
Okay, okay. Fuck this group.
Fuck you, Jerry.
Fuck You. You pathetic
fucking loser.
I'll be at the bar
across the street
if anyone wants a drink.
Okay. Sometimes,
people aren't ready
to accept this, but
Alex, please continue.
I'm sorry.
I'm, I'm very sorry.
You fucking happy?
You fucking serious
with this shit?
It keeps me going
if I need it to.
So, what? You're never
gonna have a drink again?
I'm just trying to get
through the fucking day, man.
So now, what?
Oh my, now, what?
You had your fun.
So, just go away.
What, are you blowing me off?
Yes. Yes.
Well, fuck, dude.
I mean, I thought we could
hang out or something.
Are you fucking crazy?
No, I'm fucking bored.
Since you were gonna have me
blow your brains out earlier
I figured you didn't
have any other plans.
You were gonna
blow my brains out?
I'm just saying. You
wanna hang out, or what?
What's your name?
October.
- You like pancakes?
- What?
This place is a fucking dump.
I like it.
Yeah. Well it's a shithole.
Have the best blueberry
pancakes in the whole city.
And that sort of
thing impresses you?
You can't smoke in here.
Well, you can't tell
me what to do, Daddy.
You like that? Do you like
when I call you daddy?
No. It's just that you
can't smoke in restaurants
in Chicago anymore.
Since when?
Well, they passed a
law like a long time ago.
There's no smoking
in here, Miss.
You're gonna have
to put it away.
Sure.
Are you ready to order?
Yes. We'll take two orders
of your blueberry pancakes.
And what do you want?
Sausage or bacon?
Who says I want either,
or pancakes for that matter?
She'll take the bacon.
So what do you do?
What do you mean?
I mean, what do you
do with your life?
Like you have a
job or something?
Well, I was going to art
school, but taking a break.
- Why?
- What does it matter?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to initiate
a conversation. I mean,
you're the one who suggested
we should hang out.
I'm taking a break
because I feel like it
I just gotta figure
some shit out.
What? You wanna know
something else about me?
What else do you wanna know?
You wanna know my birthday?
My Zodiac sign?
Maybe favorite sexual position?
Oh my geez, could you just
please not talk like that?
Whatever you want. Daddy.
Do you do this often?
What? Eat
blueberry pancakes
at shitty diners?
No meet strange
men off the internet.
Well, when you put it like that.
I'm just curious.
I didn't know that people
could hire other people
off the internet
to kill them, so.
Well, I was having
a bad couple of days.
Yeah, well, join the club pal.
Why do you wanna die so badly?
I have my reasons.
What, you just
changed your mind?
For now.
You're like, the biggest
psycho I've ever met.
Says the girl with
the purple hair.
- I like my purple hair.
- It's a look.
It's a good look.
October, this is bad.
Really weird.
So what are you doing, now?
Do you want some company?
Why do you want
to hang out with me?
Look, if you
don't want me to hang around,
just say so.
No, it's okay.
Here. We're gonna have to
get you a heavier coat.
Yeah. Thanks.
Whoa. So are you a
serial killer or?
No. Just divorced.
How long were you married?
I'd rather not talk about it.
So, she got everything, huh?
I don't need all
that stuff around me.
Kind of looks
like you got robbed.
How do you live like this?
It suits me.
Dude. Holy shit!
Oh no.
This is for you.
What is it?
It's a prehistoric,
mutated lizard.
The horns on his face
are for self defense.
Thanks.
Why do you have all these?
I saved them for my kids.
- You have kids?
- Mm-hmm.
- How many?
- Two.
Boys or girls?
I have a boy,
and I have a girl.
What are their names?
My son's name is Kyle and
my daughter's name is June.
She was named after
a month, like me.
Yep.
Do they like you?
What kind of question is that?
I don't know.
Most kids hate their parents.
I hated mine.
Well, I think June
is still on the fence.
Kyle will always hate me.
Let's go.
- So, where are we going?
- You ask a lot of questions.
Well, I just wanna make sure
you're not a murderer
or something.
No-one's forcing you to come.
So, say you're not a murderer.
- Seriously?
- Yeah. Say it.
I'm not a murderer. All right?
Was that so hard?
You have any like,
gum or anything?
- Holy shit!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Dude, you have a fucking gun.
You have a fucking
gun. You're a murderer.
No, I'm not a murderer.
Then. Why are
you packing heat?
Are you in a gang?
Are you in a gang like old
dudes that do drive-bys
at rival nursing homes and shit?
Cute.
So, is that how you
tried to kill yourself?
Oh. Fuck, dude.
Yep.
How old are you?
How old do you think I am?
I don't
know. Like, 50.
- Really?
- What?
I'm 45.
No shit, really?
What? Why is that so shocking?
Just, I don't know.
It just sounds old.
Well, it is.
You don't really
look that old.
Yes I do.
No. I mean, you
could pass for like,
I don't know, like 35.
Thank you.
Where, where are we?
Huh. October, just
wait here for a minute.
I'll be right back.
- What are you doing here?
- Hey, could I see June?
Alex, I, I can't
do this again, okay?
You just can't keep
showing up here like this.
Please? I, I just,
just wanna say hello.
Yeah, it's not gonna happen.
Come on, Sara.
What do you expect me to do?
Well, just gimme a chance.
I've given you a chance. I've
given you a million chances.
Okay? All right.
Look, give her this.
- Alex.
- Please, Sara, come on.
Give it to her. Just, you
don't even gotta tell her
it's from me.
- You have to go. Okay?
- Okay.
Fuck it.
Oh no, no. You
can't smoke in here.
- Why not?
- Because I said so.
Oh, okay.
- I mean it.
- Oh, come on, dude.
Look, I'm not even
bothering you.
Oh, hey, asshole. What the fuck?
It's a nasty habit.
You should quit.
You should stop
telling me what to do.
Who was that woman?
So, what? You're not
talking to me now.
I don't feel like talking.
Was that your wife?
- Ex-wife.
- What's her name.
Fuck! Why do you ask so
many goddamn questions?
Let me out of the car.
- What?
- Let me out!
No, I'm not gonna let you
out on the side of the road.
I can find my own
way home. Thank you.
Will you stop it?
You're not getting out.
- Well then, let me drive.
- Why.
Either let me outta
the car, or let me drive.
Oh my God. What the
hell are you doing?
Whoa.
Driving.
Well, you drive like shit.
Where are we going?
I need to take
care of something.
- Come on.
- What are we doing?
Why do you ask so
many goddamn questions?
- Should I be worried?
- Probably.
Okay.
Aren't you a
little bit too old
to be hanging out with
my 24-year-old daughter.
Oh.
Leave him alone.
He's a friend.
Okay.
Good to see you too, Mother.
So, what is this shit
about dropping out?
What are you talking about?
You got a letter
from the Government
demanding repayment of
the grant they gave you
because you didn't
complete the semester.
What, are you going
through my mail?
It was addressed to me,
as your legal guardian.
Don't flatter yourself, Betty.
You're not my guardian.
Why didn't you tell
me you dropped out?
I didn't drop out.
I'm just taking a break.
Well, as far as the United
States Government is concerned,
you're a dropout!
What are you looking for?
Savings my sick
Grandma Lilly gave me.
What the fuck did
you do with them?
I sold them.
You what?
I sold them.
Those weren't yours to sell.
Well, when you write a $300
check of mine in your name,
I figure you owe me.
God dammit, Betty.
I fucking need those.
Why, to go and get high?
That is not how I raised you.
No, you raised me to be a
pathetic, fall-down drunk.
I just didn't follow-
You couldn't hurt
me if you tried.
What is with you, man?
Do you wanna talk
about anything?
There's nothing to talk about.
Yeah. It's really
hard to be a parent.
What are you
actually defending her?
No, no, I am not.
I'm just, I'm just
saying that uh, sometimes
it's really, really hard.
I mean, as a parent,
you're supposed to have
all of the answers
and most of the time,
you're just as clueless as
your kids, if not, more.
She's not really a parent.
She's a crazy lady I was
forced to be raised by.
She's only happy when I fuck up.
That's how my old man was.
How so?
He just loved to tell
me how I was always
wrong about everything.
He was a big military guy.
Thought it was our duty
to serve our country.
He was pissed off when
I didn't join The Army.
And then he spent the
rest of his life thinking
I was a coward.
I think I see, he was right.
Well, at least
you can do something
different with your kids.
You wanna go to the movies?
Possibly take all the racket.
Those, those things smashing
through the windows.
Well you're her father.
If you're stupid enough
to go die on that trap,
That's your business. However,
I am not stupid enough
to follow you. It is
tough for the kid.
That old man is so stupid.
Now, get the hell
down in the cellar.
You can be the boss down
there. I'm boss up here.
You know, I want to
open this door again.
I mean it. Mr. Cooper,
with your help, we can-
- With my help?
Let him go, man.
His mind is made up.
Just let him go.
Do you ever wonder what
your life would be like
if you never got
married or had kids.
Yeah, but that kind of thinking
doesn't get me anywhere.
Can we go somewhere?
I wanna show you something.
- Where.
- It's a surprise.
Come on.
Why'd you bring me here?
Where I go when I need to cry.
What is it about this place?
I don't know.
I guess that I like that no
one can hear me over the sound
of the waves crashing and...
- And what?
- Nothing. It's stupid.
I believe we've passed
that portion of the evening.
I guess it makes
me feel better
knowing that my
tears hit the water
and become something bigger.
Told you it was stupid.
I don't think it's stupid.
I think it's actually
quite beautiful.
Tell me something no-one
else knows about you.
I uh, tried to kill myself
the other night with that gun
you found in my car
at this exact spot.
Are you serious?
Kind of hard to believe, huh?
What happened?
Same thing that
always happens.
I couldn't bring myself
to pull the trigger.
When I was 14. I um, I
swallowed a bottle of pills
that I found in my
mom's medicine cabinet.
You did that?
Yeah, I don't know why.
I just remember
flashes of things.
There was an ambulance that
came to my house and I remember
these coarse fingers
holding my mouth open.
They pumped my stomach.
You dunno why you did that?
I don't know. Bored, I guess.
You sure do seem
to get bored a lot.
Yeah.
You bored now?
I don't know what I am now.
Cold. That's what I am.
You cold?
What is this?
It's a party, dumb-ass.
Uh-uh. Nope. I
shouldn't be here.
Oh, come on, dude. Chill
out. It's gonna be fine.
No, I, I gotta go to
work tomorrow morning.
I gotta take off.
Relax. Take your
coat off. Chill out.
Let's have some fun.
October!
It's my birthday.
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
Who's, who's that?
It's Alex.
Oh!
Mwah!
You're welcome.
- Happy birthday, Stephanie.
- Thank you.
It's Stephanie's birthday!
We'll see you later.
Happy birthday, Steph.
Yo, what's good?
You make it to Coffin's
show last night?
No, I got a little distracted.
My God. He's brilliant
since his mom died.
So, in my dream, I was
like ninja warrior, princess.
And I had to, I had to fight
to protect my red balloon
Because of the whole reality.
What's up, man? You
came with October, right?
The hardest part, raging.
Yo, who's that
guy you came with?
I don't know.
He's just a friend.
Living out that
daddy fantasy for real, huh?
I mean?
Fuck you guys.
What, are you jealous?
What the fuck's
wrong with you?
Nothing. I just, I don't
feel like, I don't know.
I'm not in it tonight.
See you guys later.
Where are you going?
So, how'd you
and October meet?
We just, we just met
recently at the record store.
Oh, so you're at a
party with her now?
Yeah, I guess.
So, what are your
intentions with her?
What do you mean?
I mean, what do
you wanna do to her?
Well, I don't intend
to do anything to her.
Just so you know, I know her.
In fact, I know her very well.
October can get confused
in life sometimes.
And what she doesn't need
is someone coming in and
manipulating her to do things
that she doesn't need to be
doing, you know?
Well, I'm not manipulating
her to do anything.
And as a friend, maybe
you should give her
a little more credit.
Yeah. I'll do that.
- Nice to meet you.
- Sir.
Oh my God. Oh, fuck!
Oh, what?
Oh, fuck! I'm late for work.
- So?
- I can't be late for work.
I'll call you later.
Bye.
Yes, ma'am, and
have a great day.
Hey, Alex.
Could you join me in
my office for a minute?
So, what's going on?
What do you mean?
Why you were late today?
Oh yeah.
I'm sorry about that.
What happened?
Nothing. I mean,
I just overslept.
- Overslept.
- Yep.
Is there something
you wanna tell me?
- Nope.
- You sure?
If you got something to
say, you should just say it.
This is all just
very familiar, Alex.
What's that, Patrick?
You, showing up late
to work oversleeping.
If you don't remember, we've
had this problem before.
Hey, uh. Yeah. But today is
not like those other times.
Yeah. I've heard
that before too.
I'm sorry. Man, I overslept.
These things happen.
They seem like they
happen to you a lot.
Man, you're blowing this
thing way out of proportion.
I stuck my neck on
the line for you before,
because you promised me you had
your problems under control.
You looked at me straight
in my face and you told me
I wasn't gonna have to
deal with this anymore.
I was late. It's
a one-time thing.
I'm not drunk.
I haven't been drinking.
Yeah. Well, this
is how it starts.
Next thing I know, you're not
showing up to work for days
and I got your wife
calling me, the police.
This is an office, Alex.
This is a place of business,
and I don't have time
for any more excuses.
Listen, I know things
have been rough
since you and Sara separated.
I can't even fathom what
you had to go through,
the devastation of
losing a child like that.
Kyle was too young to have
had to go through any of that.
Don't you ever say his
name? You know nothing.
I'm sorry, Alex.
You couldn't even possibly
imagine what it feels like to
watch your son
just wither away.
Be powerless to do
anything about it.
You spare me the
fucking pep talk, yeah?
Well, despite everything
there comes a point
when enough is enough. We're
gonna have to let you go.
No, you can't.
You can't fire me.
Patrick, I need this job.
I'm sorry, Alex. It is
outta my hands at this point.
Wow. You're a
real piece of work.
Go Fuck yourself.
Yo. What was your
problem last night?
Good morning to you too.
Why'd you blow us off?
I just didn't feel
like it last night.
You like a straight-edge now?
No, I just need a break.
- From what?
- Everything.
So, what do you want?
I don't know.
Something different.
What's so funny.
It's just you. You're never
satisfied with something.
You always want
something different.
First, you're a
photographer, then a painter,
then a writer. Tomorrow,
you'll probably be a dentist.
Fuck you Josh.
Sorry I don't have it all
figured out Like you do.
It must be really
nice living off
Mommy and Daddy's trust fund.
Here.
It's for when you
change your mind, again.
See you around.
What are you doing here?
Bored. Thought maybe
we could do something.
I don't have
time for this shit.
Hey Alex, Alex!
Dude, what's your problem?
Alex!
Asshole, I'm talking to you
Not now. Go home.
What the fuck? Alex, hold on.
- Hey!
- What the fuck?
I said go home.
I'm not going anywhere.
October, I don't wanna
play house with you anymore.
What?
I'm not your boyfriend
and I am definitely
not your fucking daddy. So
whatever fantasy you got
playing in your head is
over. So go home. go home.
Hey, don't you, don't.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
The fuck is wrong with you?
Next time, pull
the fucking trigger.
Alex, where the hell you been?
Ah, I been around.
Haven't seen you in a while.
We were just talking about you.
Yep. Can I get a drink?
Yeah, sure.
What'll it be your,
your usual I assume?
- Yeah.
- All right.
You alright?
Yeah, pour the drink.
Hey, what's up?
Thank God.
Sweeney, fill me up.
I think you've had
enough for the night.
Well, I'm not paying
you for your thinking.
So, fill up the glass.
I can't do that.
Hey, Hey!
Tom, time you were
going home, Alex.
Fill up my fucking glass.
Alex, take it fucking easy.
Get your fucking hands off me.
Get your fucking
hands off of me!
Let me at least
call you a cab.
You have kids?
Son's name is Kyle.
My daughter's name is June.
What you doing here?
Are you ever coming back home?
I'm always gonna
be your daddy.
I promise, okay?
Watch where you're
going, asshole!
Two, three, four,
five, six,

I came here to watch you dance
and you were doing so good.
So good. June-y.
Are you okay?
Ah, June.
Dad?
Oh I'm yes I'm. Okay.
How would you like the greatest
blueberry pancakes
in the whole world?
Everything okay, June?
Oh, yes everything's okay.
I'm her father. I'll be,
I'll be taking her home.
I'm okay.
Okay. I'll just help
you get her stuff. Okay?
Yeah, I'll be right back.
Okay.
It's me. It's Alex.
Where are you?
I'm sorry about
it earlier. I, I,
I should not have
acted like that.
I mean, I fucked up.
I, I got really fucked up, yes.
Who were you talking to?
Hmm. Oh, I was just
talking to a friend.
Was it the girl who
was sitting in the car
when you came to our house?
You saw us?
I was watching
from the window.
Yeah, it was, it
was the same girl.
- I like her hair.
- You do?
I like it too.
- So good.
- Aren't they?
The best pancakes in the
whole city. That's what I say.
Sir, is that your
silver Outback outside?
Yeah. Why?
We're gonna need you to
come with us for a minute.
Dad, what's going on?
It's all right, Sweetie.
Let me talk to these guys.
There's a misunderstanding here.
Sir, can you put your hands
out where I can see 'em?
Absolutely. Absolutely.
I just wanna talk to you.
And stay calm
Sir, have you've
been drinking tonight?
What are you talking about?
Sir, I'm gonna
need you to put your hands
behind your back.
Dad?
Everything's okay sweetheart.
Sir, put your hands
behind your back.
Hey, you don't yell at me.
Let go of him, let go! Let go!
Get your hands off of me
Get down to the ground.
Wilson, call an ambulance.
It's okay.
June, June, it's
okay, sweetheart.
It's okay, baby.
It's alright, June.
Don't cry. Don't cry.
It's just a mistake.
They just made a mistake.
They just made a little mistake.
Okay, copy that.
What happened to my daughter?
I don't know
anything about it, sir.
They'll be with you in a minute.
I'm really worried about her.
Do you know if she's okay.
Sir, when I know
something I will inform you.
Please, just tell me she's okay.
June?
June-y!
Come on.
Belt, shoes,
tie. Anything else?
Necklace, come on, everything.
Everything. That,

Turn around. Hands
on the wall. Come on.
Oh God, oh my God.
Fucking hate you.
Fucking hate you.
Sara?
What the is fuck
wrong with you?
I messed up.
No, no, don't. You don't
get to make excuses anymore.
You don't.
I am not here to pick up the
pieces when you fall apart.
That's not my job anymore.
You are drunk again.
You could have killed her.
Could have killed her!
You will never
You will never come
around us ever again.
Do you get that?
Oh no, please don't do that.
You did this, you fuck!
You did his. You did it.
Goodbye, Alex. Goodbye.
Let's go.
$75 For the lot
fee, $150 for the tow.
Round back.
I need help.
Me too.
Do you wanna go somewhere?
Where do you wanna go?
I don't know.
Anywhere.
Yeah. Yeah.
You look like shit.
Well, it's been quite a night.
Do you know
someone buried here?
Yeah, my son.
What?
He died three years ago.
I've never talked
about it to anyone.
How did he die?
He was sick.
He had a rare
cancer in his bones.
He uh, fought it for
a really long time.
He was a tough kid.
He, he loved baseball.
He was really good at baseball.
I dunno what to
say. I'm sorry.
Oh, it's okay.
After Kyle died,
everyone felt like they
had to give me a big speech
and try and comfort me.
I prefer if people just
don't say anything at all,
but
Do you wanna
get some shitty pancakes?
