We the Animals (2018) Movie Script
Look at us.
When we were brothers...
we wanted more.
More volume.
More muscles.
Us three.
Us kings.
Us brothers.
- Us family.
- Body heat.
Body heat, body heat.
Body heat,
body heat.
Body heat, body heat.
Body heat, body heat.
Body...
Manny.
Joel.
Ma.
Pops.
Me.
Manny. Joel!
Shh.
Sometimes...
we wanted less.
Less work.
Less noise.
Just this.
Jonah.
Come on.
What are you waiting for?
Wait up!
Toss it up!
I call first
to be on the bed.
Shake it, Papito! Come on!
Come on. All right, now.
Shake it
like you're rich.
Snobby, snobby,
rich, rich.
Get those noses up.
Shake it! Shake it!
You ain't rich.
Shake it like you're white.
Like your ma.
No rhythm.
Nah, you ain't white.
Now shake it like
you're Puerto Rican.
Eh!
Come on!
I met your ma in high school.
I asked her to dance.
And that's how he got me.
I was only 14.
Yeah, you didn't look 14.
I sat in his lap
just like this.
And I remember asking,
"Can I get pregnant from this?"
And he said, "What, this?"
And there wasn't no way we could
stay in Brooklyn after that.
Then out popped Manny.
- Boo!
- And then Joel.
And then you.
What time do we got?
Look at me.
Watching them.
Flying.
Fearless.
You went so far.
Was that scary?
I'll never let anything
happen to you.
You grew up with
all these lakes and rivers.
You got two brothers that swim
like a couple of goldfish.
How come you don't swim?
You don't know
how to swim neither.
Yeah, well, no one
ever swam in Brooklyn.
Then where did Paps
learn how to swim?
I don't know.
You ready?
You're coming with me.
Come on.
I got you, bud.
- Come on. You too.
- You crazy?
No, no. You're coming.
Come on.
- I'm okay. I'm good, I'm good.
- Come with me.
Come on. It'll be fine.
- I got you. Come on.
- Okay.
Hold on to me.
Come on.
Hold on tight.
Hold on tight.
All right.
Time to learn.
Does that feel good?
Hold on. You good?
See?
You're safe.
Hold me tight.
We've gone too far.
Take us back.
He's got to learn to swim.
You both got to
learn to swim.
How else you gonna learn?
Huh?
I need to talk to your ma. Take
your brothers out for a sec.
- And do what?
- Get out of the car, coo!
You okay, bro?
You fuckin' baby, him!
Goddamn it.
He will learn to swim
like normal people
learn to swim!
Did he learn to swim?
Did he learn to swim?
Why do you have to do this?
Wake up!
Where's he going?
Listen.
Do me a favor.
I need you to be good
and quiet around your ma.
There was a, uh...
an emergency.
Yeah, I had to take her
to the dentist tonight.
Manny, come here.
- Hold on to this for me.
- Is she hurt?
She just needed some, uh...
her wisdom teeth taken out.
The dentist was, uh...
punching on her a little.
That's how they loosen up the
teeth before they rip them out.
But the dentist said
she'll be better by tomorrow.
It's my birthday tomorrow.
Well...
happy birthday, old man.
It's his birthday.
Happy birthday.
He's ten.
He'll leave me now.
Ten.
What's that supposed to mean?
When you boys turned ten,
you left me.
That's what big boys do.
I won't.
Good.
Will you get up today?
How do I look?
- Purple.
- Crazy.
Tore up.
What did he do to me?
He punched you in the face.
To loosen up your teeth.
You think that's funny
when men beat on your mother?
Promise me
you'll stay nine forever?
How?
Simple.
You're not ten.
You're nine plus one.
Next year you'll be
nine plus two.
Like that. Forever.
Why?
Because...
when they ask you
how old you are,
you'll be telling them that
no matter how old you are,
you are your ma's
baby boy.
And if you stay my baby boy,
then I'll always have you.
You feel that?
I remember
your heart inside me.
Ticking like a bomb.
That hurt!
Now that Paps was gone...
she stopped eating.
Stopped cooking.
Stopped getting out of bed.
Not knowing what's to come,
why, that's...
that's pretty scary.
But I have heard the future.
All of you hear the future
in a dream.
It's God's whispering.
Put your hands on your ears
and block out the noise
and feel
the magic of God
inside you.
We are the magic of God.
Us three.
Us three.
His name, Papito.
Your mother smell like pizza.
Give it to your teacher
for luck, for luck,
for luck, for luck,
for luck.
One, two, three, four,
five, six,
seven, eight, nine.
Soy sauce.
If you stay still and cool,
you won't be hungry.
God, I'm starving.
Don't answer the phone.
But what if it's Paps?
- Ring, ring.
- Hello?
Mami, how come you didn't answer
the phone when I call you?
'Cause you sound so ugly.
Here try it.
- Yo, yo, what's up?
- Woman!
This is your husband
talking to you right now.
- You better act right.
- What do you want from me?
Dgame, Mami, talk to me.
I've been missing you.
Been missing you real bad.
I know, Mami, I know.
Ring ring.
I'm sorry.
Nah, baby, I'm sorry.
Hello?
Hello?
What are we going to do?
Come on.

Come on. Let's go.
Tuck in your shirt.
Come on, tuck it in.
Divide and conquer.
- Can I get a pack of Newports?
- Really?
What? It's not for me.
It's for my mom.
You kidding me?
You want me to go home
empty-handed to my mom?
You know what she's gonna do to me if
I don't come home with her Newports?
- I'm not gonna sell you anything without an ID.
- Please.
- I'm just gonna walk away and put it in my back pocket.
- It's not gonna happen.
- Fine, let me have Marlboros then.
- Fuck!
Jonah!
Come on! Come on!
No!
Jonah, look.
Shh. Quiet.
Yo, take off your shirt
and use it as a basket.
Grab as much as you can.
Stop!
Cut it out!
- It's a grenade.
- No, it's food. Help out!
Damn, why you always
telling me what to do?
All right, come on.
Oh, shit.
Jonah! Jonah!
You guys hungry?
This is my grandson,
Dustin.
You two boys want to help me?
Come on inside.
Cut it into a cross.
That way you break up the poison
and kill the itch.
You like Iron Maiden?
Who is she?
I got to show you guys
something.
What is this?
Locusts.
Oh! What the fuck?
Oh, my God!
Where did you get
this shit?
Philly.
I can get you one if you want.
Oh, yeah,
I would love to have one.

Yo, she's getting it.
This shit is crazy!
Ooh, shit!
Whoa, that's nasty, bro.
- What the f...

They keep spinning.
Yo, that was fucked up.
Nah, that was just fucking.
Do you think Paps
will ever come back?
He always comes back.
Shh. Close your eyes.
What the fuck
are you doing?
Nothing.
- You touch my bag?
- No.
You're so fucking weird.
After she got up...
he started calling more.
What if he's having
a heart attack?
What heart?
I'll get it.
Ring, ring.
Manny, come on.
Try. Come on.
Come on!
Don't move, don't move.
Stay still.
All right, all right.
This is the best haircut
you're gonna get
in your life.
We'll see.
What did you say?
Nothing.
Why did you leave?
Your Titi Milly called.
I had to...
I had to get back
to the city.
Why did you come back?
What do you think?
Come on, get up.
We're both working tonight.
You're coming with me.
Now that Paps was back...
he wanted more of us.
More of her.
Hey, Papito, come here.

Switch it on.
Duro, duro! There you go.

enough seatbelts
to protect your family.

To be a fat old lady?
But tonight

Okay?
So tonight

Yo, move over.

We're gonna need to get some
new boys to take your place.
Yeah, that's exactly what
I need in this house:
more men.
Hey.
Where'd the boys go?
I don't know.
I guess they disappeared.
Okay, stop.
Come on.
The boys are watching.
Oh, I thought
you all disappeared.
You were supposed
to look for us.
I guess I found
something better.
Papi.
Could you get my boots
out of the closet?
Oh, baby.

I'm already late.
Hey.

It's like Coke.
My mom loves it.
Where is she?
She's in Philly.
When I get enough money,
I might head back home.
You'd like Philly.
There are Mexican people
like you there.
I'm not Mexican.
More than me.
Yo!
Jonah, I fucking see you.
Wait up.
Paps is waiting for us.
Come on.
Yo, what the fuck

Hey, Paps.
Mm?
I like sleeping in a bed.
I know.
I know. Me too.
Me too.
Come on.
Why is that light

So it don't fly away.
It's a funny thing.
The other day when I was cutting your
hair, you know what I was thinking?
Goddamn.
I got me a pretty one.
How'd that happen?
Get up, get up. Come on!
We're late! We're late!

truck, Get under the covers,
and wait there until I come
and get you, okay? Come on!
Morning.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
These yours?
That's what
my wife keeps telling me.
Well...
At least you're, uh,
only half as ugly
as your daddy is.
Listen, man. Why don't
you and I go have a talk, huh?
Manny, take your brothers and
go to the truck. Go, go, go, go.
I had nowhere to take 'em.
My wife works at night.
I had no choice.
I'm supposed to say
I didn't see three little kids
just come out the building
at 5:00 in the morning?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
I need this job.
You've had it in for me
from day one.
Don't give me that stuff.
I only have it in for you because
you don't do your fucking job.
It's not our fault.
It's always our fault.
This is the one time
I brought my kids, man.

Maybe he's digging a pool.
Or a tunnel.
Nah, I think
he's digging a trench.
Ain't no trench.
Digging a grave.
Whose grave?
How am
I supposed to know?
Probably Ma's.
Or maybe yours.
Where is he?
He dug a trench.
Joel thinks it's a grave.
He dug a grave.

- A grave.
It's like she did that.
Did what?
Made it rain.
That hole, it's magic.
Shit.

It was my grave.
What the hell?
What the fuck
is wrong with you?
Yo, I told you
he was fucked up.
Bro, you're disgusting.
You're right,

How many fucking jobs

you have to do this?
Stop fuckin' pushing me!
I swear to God...
You don't push me!
Hey.

We can go home if you want to,
but we don't have to.
We can leave him.
We can do that.
But I need you to tell me
what to do.
Jesus! You think this is easy?
Say something.
Something.
I thought we were finally
going somewhere.
Look at them.
Growing up.

Paps is gonna kill you

- No, I didn't.
- Yes, you did

and you said,
"I like her."
No, I didn't.

I used to be
my mother's baby
When I was near,
my dad went wild
Whenever
we had company
They'd bounce me
on their knee
The neighbors thought
I was a darling child
Once I was
everybody's baby
But right now
I'm lonesome as can be
You see,
I'm nobody's baby
I wonder why
Each night and day
I pray
The Lord up above
Please send me down
Somebody to love
But nobody wants me
I'm blue somehow
Won't someone
hear my plea
And take a chance on me
Because
I'm nobody's baby now
When we were brothers...
we wanted more.
More volume.
More muscles.

and kill the itch.
You like Iron Maiden?
Who is she?
I got to show you guys
something.
What is this?
Locusts.
Oh! What the fuck?
Oh, my God!
Where did you get
this shit?

I can get you one if you want.
Oh, yeah,
I would love to have one.

She's got big boobs, bro.
Yo, she's getting it.
This shit is crazy!

They keep spinning.
Yo, that was fucked up.
Nah, that was just fucking.
Do you think Paps
will ever come back?
He always comes back.
Shh. Close your eyes.
What the fuck
are you doing?
Nothing.
- You touch my bag?
- No.
You're so fucking weird.
After she got up...
he started calling more.
What if he's having
a heart attack?
What heart?
I'll get it.
Ring, ring.
Manny, come on.
Try. Come on.
Come on!
Don't move, don't move.
Stay still.
All right, all right.

to the city.
Why did you come back?
What do you think?
Come on, get up.
We're both working tonight.
You're coming with me.

enough seatbelts
to protect your family.

minivan.
Get you a fat-old-lady car.
Huh?
Is that what you want?
To be a fat old lady?
But tonight

Okay?
So tonight
we'll go for a ride.
Yo, move over.
I gotta pee.
You all going to

We're gonna need to get some
new boys to take your place.
Yeah, that's exactly what
I need in this house:
more men.
Hey.
Where'd the boys go?
I don't know.
I guess they disappeared.
Okay, stop.
Come on.
The boys are watching.
Oh, I thought
you all disappeared.
You were supposed
to look for us.
I guess I found
something better.
Papi.
Could you get my boots
out of the closet?
Oh, baby.
Please?
I'm already late.
Hey.
We'll show him.
- Shh. Are you guys ready?
- Yeah.
Mami,
I can't find the boots.
Hello.
- We got you!
- Tickle him!
Get him!
You were supposed
to find us.
Yeah. You were
supposed to find us!
Why didn't you find us?
Because you're bad, bad, bad,

When I get enough money,
I might head back home.
You'd like Philly.
There are Mexican people
like you there.
I'm not Mexican.
More than me.
Yo!

Wait up.
Paps is waiting for us.

Hey, Paps.
Mm?
I like sleeping in a bed.
I know.
I know. Me too.
Me too.
Come on.
Why is that light

So it don't fly away.
It's a funny thing.
The other day when I was cutting your
hair, you know what I was thinking?
Goddamn.
I got me a pretty one.
How'd that happen?
Get up, get up. Come on!
We're late! We're late!

truck, Get under the covers,
and wait there until I come
and get you, okay? Come on!
Morning.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
These yours?
That's what
my wife keeps telling me.
Well...
At least you're, uh,
only half as ugly
as your daddy is.
Listen, man. Why don't
you and I go have a talk, huh?
Manny, take your brothers and
go to the truck. Go, go, go, go.
I had nowhere to take 'em.
My wife works at night.
I had no choice.

I didn't see three little kids
just come out the building
at 5:00 in the morning?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
I need this job.
You've had it in for me
from day one.
Don't give me that stuff.
I only have it in for you because
you don't do your fucking job.
It's not our fault.
It's always our fault.
This is the one time
I brought my kids, man.

Or a tunnel.
Nah, I think

Ain't no trench.

"I like her."

I used to be
my mother's baby
When I was near,
my dad went wild
Whenever
we had company
They'd bounce me
on their knee
The neighbors thought
I was a darling child
Once I was
everybody's baby
But right now
I'm lonesome as can be
You see,
I'm nobody's baby
I wonder why
Each night and day
I pray
The Lord up above
Please send me down
Somebody to love
But nobody wants me
I'm blue somehow
Won't someone
hear my plea
And take a chance on me
Because
I'm nobody's baby now
