"Boobskies!"

[ Indistinct ]

[ Clears Throat ]

This is to sort of
give you an example.
It's not easy. Okay.

[ Man ] * Swing
And-- See?
Not easy, all right?

I'm not a professional.
I've got professional money.

* In this tree

[ Laughing ]
Okay.

* Oh, I am bounce around
so well *
I'm studying. Stop.

* Branch to branch
Limb to limb *

* You see
[ No Audible Dialogue ]

* All in a day's dream

* I am stuck

* Like the other monkeys here

* I am a humble monkey

* Sitting up in here again

- * But then came the day
- You gotta have confidence,

and, uh,
well, frankly, balls.
* I climbed out

* Of these safe limbs

* Ventured away

- * Walking tall
Head high up and singing *
- [ No Audible Dialogue ]

* I went to the city

* Car horns, corners
and the gritty *

* Now I am
the proudest monkey *

* You ever seen

* Monkey see
Monkey do, yeah *

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Go like that--
And see?

Look at that. That's golden.
And I didn't scratch.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

* Then comes the day

* Staring at myself
I turn to question me *

* I wonder do I want
the simple, simple life *

* That I once lived in well *

[ Man Groans ]
[ Thumping ]

[ Groans, Laughs ]

[ Both Laughing ]

Oh.
Mmm.

Ahh.

I love morning sex.
Yeah.

Yeah. Sex is good.
Mmm.

Sex is a good thing.

We're good.
Yes, we are.

We are good together.

Hmm.
What?

No.
Why-Why-Why'd you do that?

You can't smoke
in front of me.

Since when?
Since I quit.

When did that happen?

Oh, last week.

[ Clears Throat ]
Uh, you haven't noticed.

Well, I think
that's a little bit--
a little bit selfish of you.

I need a partner
in my addictions.

My mama didn't raise
no quitters.

So you quit smoking.

What would possess you
to do something like that?

Um, well, actually, um--

Holy shit!
What?

What-What?
I have a gray hair.

Rich.

I do. Right here--
Right in the middle
of my forehead.

Good God.
That's what happens
when you get older.

I was over at Quentin's
the other day,

and I'm looking through
his extensive collection
of Playboys, right?

And I remember
when I was a kid,

looking at "centerfolds"
and thinking,

"I could never get a woman
like that, because she's
so much older than me."

And I'm looking
at this centerfold,
and guess how old she was, Sam.

- How old?
- Nineteen.

She was 19 years old.

I'm 25 now.
It's just--

I feel old.

You're not old.
You're just... growing up.

Everyone's growing up now.

Now my best friend
is getting fucking married.

That's so bad?

I think it's
a little bit sudden, yeah.

Uh, could you...
not do that?

[ Exhales ]

Michael and Elise
have been together
almost as long as we have--

About half a decade.

So how long do you think
it takes?
What?

Getting married.

It's different
for different people. It's--

What about for you?

- Where are you going with this?
- Well, we were
on the subject, and I just...

sort of want to know.

How long would it take you?

Are you proposing to me?

I don't know.

I guess I'll let you
figure it out.

[ Man ]
* I met a girl
I'd like to know better *

* But I'm already
with someone *

* I met a girl
I'd like to know better *

* But I'm already
with someone *

* Everyone stands-- *
Morning. How long
have you been standing there?

Long enough.
Is it too late
to back out of the wedding?

Don't even think about it.
[ Groans ]

You're not getting off
that easy.
[ Laughs ]

Sam and Rich
still asleep?

Man, they went
straight to bed
after the rehearsal.

Yeah. They must be
tired from the drive.

What's with the salads?

Well, you know
how everybody is.

Jen doesn't like iceberg
in hers, and Lana can't have
anything that's not green,

and Simon has that fear
of cucumbers,

so I'm just
being prepared.

Right. Well, I'm sure
they'll understand
if it's not perfect.

Yeah. I-- I won't.
Right.

Repeat after me.
Okay.

Everything
is going to be fine.

Everything is going
to be fine.

That's not my dog.

Uh-- Well, you're
Lana Hatcher, right?

Yeah, but that's not
the dog that I left here.

Uh--
[ Chuckles ]
Yeah, it is.

All right, Steve,

but the dog that I left here
came in for a bath,
not a haircut.

He was a cute, shaggy,
salty-looking dog.

Th-That's--
That's fucked up.

[ Whines ]
Look, lady,

I wasn't here when they did it,
so I don't know what you want
from me.

Well, I'm--
I'm not paying for it.

- Uh--
- I'm not.

Know what?
I really don't care.

Yeah. Good.

Come here, baby.

What did they do to you?
[ Whines ]

No, no.
Look, dipshit.

You're coming, all right?
Mikey is tying the knot.

Fuck this "I'm in Mexico,
I can't make it" shit.

What the hell are you
doing in Mexico anyways?

- [ Man ]
I had to see about a girl.
- You had to see about a girl?

Yeah.
This is not
Good Will Hunting.

All right?
I am not Robin Williams.
You have no idea.

Frank and I have
come up with some
amazing shit.

Okay. Just promise me
that you'll be at Mikey's
by 6:00, okay?

Done.
Listen. Don't forget to talk
to the studio about the jet.

[ Man ]
All right. I got it.
Richie's here. Gotta go.

- Richie's there? Ho, ho.
Tell Richie I--
- Fuckin' actors, man.

They win one Golden Globe,
they think the whole world
revolves around them.

- Right now I gotta talk
to you--
- [ Beeping ]

Hold that thought.

Quentin Rockford.

[ Man ]
Quentin, this is Frank from
Old Pictures about that project.

[ Quentin ] Yeah?
Yeah, we gotta
get Celia...

to take her top off.
Hey, fuck you and your
dirty fucking mother.

All right? She's not
taking her shirt off,
you son of a bitch.

Hey, hey, hold on.
We're willing to--
to pay for it.

Listen, I'm sorry about that.
What were you saying?

- It's gonna be
very tasteful.
- Yeah?

And, uh--
How much?

Well, an extra $1,000.
Hey, shirt's gone, buddy.
Fax me the contract.

- All right, thanks.
- [ Chuckling ]

You have absolutely
no scruples.
Oh, please.

Look, it's not like I'm telling
Meryl Streep to flash
her bush, all right?

It's Sylvia fuckin' Carmen.
She whips her tits out
every time she gets drunk.

At least this way
she gets paid for it.

So what did you want
to talk to me about, man?
You look like shit.

I think Samantha
asked me to marry her
this morning.

- You think?
- Yeah. She said she was gonna
leave it up to me.

To, like, what?
Say yes or no?

To decide whether or not...

she actually asked me
the question.

[ Groans ]
Are you kiddin' me?

Nope.

You get married--
Would you be happy?

I think so.

You cross that fuckin' bridge,
you better know so.

All right?
Divorce is a motherfucker, man.

I got 37 clients going
through it right now,

and it is not pretty.

Okay, now, playing
devil's advocate,

let's say you don't
get married.

- Now how would you feel?
- I'd miss her.

Ah! See? That--

Would you miss her,
or miss fucking her?

Either you don't want
to fuck anyone else
for the rest of your life,

or you don't want
to imagine...

someone else fucking the girl
you're currently fucking...

for the rest of their lives.

All right? So promise me
that you are going to think
about this, okay?

And you're not
just gonna head off...

to some drive-through
chapel in Vegas, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Oh, shit.
We're running late.
We gotta go.

Shit.

House looks great.

See why your grandpa
left it to you.

I'm clean now, Michael.

Hey, you don't have
to listen to me
if you don't want to,

but I'm trying here, Michael.

You show up on my doorstep
on the weekend
of my wedding,

and you expect me
to-to forget everything?

- To forgive you?
- Michael? Is everything okay?

It's fine.

I-I was just
at the kitchen window
and I saw-- Hi.

You must be Elise.
Baby, can you
go inside?

Yeah. I'm sorry.
Who are you?
I'm Jonathan.

Hi.

I'd, uh-- I'd say I was
in the neighborhood,

but I think
we'd all know I was lying.

Yeah. I'm, uh, staying
at the Crest Ridge Motel.

If you need anything,
either of you--

Right. Okay.

Bye.

What's going on?
I don't know.

I don't know
what the fuck
he was doing here.

I don't know
what the fuck
he was thinking.

Yeah, I'm-I'm sorry.
Oh, no. No, honey.
Don't worry about it.

It's okay.

Shit.

[ Man ]
* We get high
in back seats of cars *

* We break into mobile homes

* We go to sleep
to shake appeal *

* Never wake up on our own

* That's the way we get by

* The way we get by

* Oh, that's
the way we get by *

* The way we get by
Thank you.

Sorry, miss.
No smoking in cab.

That's fine.
Just give me a second.

* We go out
in stormy weather *

* We rarely practice discern

* We make love
to some weird sin *
Would you put that out?

Please?
* We seek out the taciturn

* That's the way we get by

* The way we get by

* That's the way we get by
I hate this fucking city.

* The way we get by
That's the way *

* That's the way we get by

* That's the way we get by *

I love this fuckin' city.
[ Horn Honks ]

Pockets!
One and only.

How are you, boys?
[ Laughs ]

How's it goin'?
What's goin' on?
Look at you.

Hey, look at me?
Look at you.
Look at this.

Hey.
Let's go.
Okay, baby.

I like your hat.
Hey, thanks.
I like this jacket.

Good flight?
Always.

How long?
About 12 hours
or so.

[ Groans ]
I got laid in
the bathroom though.

That passed some time.
Oh, yeah?

Yep.
You pay extra for that?

Yep.
My man in Thailand.

That's me, baby.
You gotta have some
wild-ass stories, man.

More than you will
ever be able to imagine.

Like some Deer Hunter
type shit?
Mau! Mau! Mau!

- Better. Better.
- Well, don't hold back, man.
Let it out.

In due time.
In due time I will tell.

So who's gonna be
at this party anyway?

Oh, everybody.
Everybody like everybody
from school, everybody?

Yeah, yeah, and some others.
Oh, Simon's gonna be there.
You know Simon.

- Simon who?
- Simon Blake.
I represent him.

The Simon Blake?
One and only.

Wow. Fancy.
Oh, that's right.

You left the year
before we met him
at that Christmas party.

Oh, the one where
he fucked Lana on my desk.

Lana fucked Simon Blake?

Fuck, I'm sorry, Pockets.
All right? I'm a little--
It was just one time.

It was on my desk,
and it was very weird.

I can't look at
my office the same way.
It's okay.

You know what? Whatever.
It was in the past, right?
It's ancient history, man.

There you go.
There you go.

[ Phone Ringing ]
Hang on.

Anyways, enough
about that shit.
How are you, man?

I'm good. I'm good.
I'm really good.
Yeah?

Yeah, we got him.
The culture shock yet?
People?

It's coming.
No tuck-tucks
or anything like that?

Pockets?
Only when I hang out with you.
Blue or black?

Black.
Here you go.

[ Knocking ]
I'm showering.

I'm just getting
the laundry.

Are you okay?
You've been in there a while.
You need anything?

- I'm fine.
- Okay.

Hey. Hey, honey,
people are gonna
be here soon.

[ Knocking ]

So what are you gonna wear?
'Cause I'm thinking
the khakis.

Sure.

I, um--

I didn't know
he was so old.

Who?

Your father.

He's not that old.

Well, I don't know.
I've never seen
a picture of him before.

- I guess he just looks like
he's had a tough life.
- He has.

You two have
the same eyes, you know.

I don't know.
Maybe it's a good thing
that he showed up, Michael.

- What do you mean by that?
- Well, think about it.

You and I-- We're getting
married tomorrow, and we're
starting our life together,

so maybe it's best
that you put your
old life to rest.

Elise, I'm sorry.
You don't have any idea
what you're talking about, okay?

- The man, he--
- He what?

You-- There's a lot
you don't know.

Michael, what did
this man do to you,

and why can't you talk
to me about it?

Just forget it, okay?
It has nothing to do
with anything.

Well, obviously it does.
Elise--

This is probably the worst time
you could have chosen
to bring this up.

I don't care.
I don't care about him.
Do you get that?

Do you know what I would give
to have my father
at this wedding?

You'll never realize
how much he means to you
until he's gone.

- He is gone.
- Fine.

Your fucking khakis
are in the closet.

Anyway, they totally
butchered him.

Lana, it's hair.
It'll grow back.

I know, but I'm just
way too unbalanced right now...

to deal with a major
life change like that.

Have you been taking
your Paxil?

No. It makes me hyper.

Well, I thought it was
supposed to even things
out a bit.

I'm constantly
at a medical .5%.

[ Whispers ]
Ouch.

Well, how's your love life?
Nonexistent.

What does that mean?

My psychiatrist said
that I should, uh,

wait until I'm well
to get into another
bad relationship.

Oh. Makes sense.

Well, I guess it's
along those lines,
but, um,

Rich said
they picked up Pockets.

Oh.
Yeah.

Yeah, it'll be--
It'll be good to see him.

I haven't seen him--
You know, it's been
a while.

Yeah. And, uh, they said
Simon's coming.

He is?
Yeah.

Oh, my God.
When it rains,
it pours.

- Lana?
- Donovan.

Hey. How are you doin'?

You look great--
Invigorated.
[ Chuckles ]

I'm good.
You're still in town?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

I had to be
at this presentation
on Monday,

so, uh, I'll be here
the whole weekend.

Good. That's good.

No. No, it's great.

See, "good," to me,
is a very mediocre word.

While "great,"
on the other hand,
exudes confidence.

And power.

[ Laughs ]
You said it, girl.
Power.

- Yeah. I like you.
[ Laughs ]
- [ Both Laughing ]

Hey, Lana, um,

I-I was wondering if, uh--

If you're not busy,
uh,

maybe we could
get together again
this weekend, huh?

Uh, actually,
I have a wedding
that I have to go to.

Old friends,
things like that.

Hey, hold the phone.
If-If I'm not mistaken,
you can bring a date...

to a wedding, right?

Yeah.
Oh, my--

You are the sweetest.

Isn't she so sweet?

Thank you so much
for the invite.
That's-That's really nice.

That's--
It's gonna be a great weekend.

I-I can't wait.
Black tie? I'll wear my tux.

Okay.
[ Laughs ]
I'll call you.

[ Laughing ]
Yeah!

Was that-- Was that
who I think it was?
Yes.

And you know him?
Yes.

But not intimately.

Kind of.
[ Laughing ]
Oh, you didn't.

Last night,
in a Holiday Inn.

You are just full
of surprises.

Sammy, I've slept
with five guys
in my entire life,

two of which died,
ironically hitting each other
in the same car accident,

and the other three
all show up
in the same weekend.

But... you didn't really
sleep with Pockets.

I mean--
Close enough.
I don't know.

I can't talk about this now.
This weekend's gonna be
pure hell.

Oh, God. This weekend
is gonna be ridiculous.

Okay, so wait a second.

Why is your tie
a different color again?

Uh, that would be because
the groom and the best man
are in silver,

and everyone else
is in black.

You dirty bitch.
Pulling the wedding hierarchy.

I see how it is.
All right, fine.

Just means that the head ushers
have to stick together.
Ain't that right, Pockets?

That's right. Head ushers
like a motherfucker.
Gimme some.

So what did you guys
get them?

- Got 'em wine glasses.
- Wrote them a book.

What do you mean,
you wrote 'em a book?

Like a small book
I printed up
about all of us...

and them falling in love and--

You know. It's nice.

You wrote 'em a fuckin' book?
Like a full-length book?

It's more like
an epic poem, but yeah.
Great.

- What about you, Pockets?
- I got them a trip to Thailand
for their honeymoon.

- Nice.
- I thought they were
going to Hawaii.

So do they.

Wait. What-- What the fuck?

You bought them their honeymoon,
and you wrote 'em
a fuckin' book?

I got 'em wine glasses.
I mean, don't get me wrong.

They're nice glasses.
I followed what they
registered for, but please!

You assholes coming in
with this shit?

I'm gonna look
like the biggest schmuck
on the face of the planet, man.

Guys, you wanna know what?
Fuck this.
We are going to the store.

Hey, wait.
We can go to Ikea.

We'll get them
the matching salt shakers.
Blow me.

[ Doorbell Rings ]

[ Knocking ]

Ah, you must be Jen.

"Nifer." Yes.

Which makes you
Michael?
Yes, it does.

Let's--
Oh.

Nice to meet you.
Thanks.

That's my hand.

Sorry. Um,

Elise tells me that you're
in the-- the music business
in London.

Uh-huh.
Well, that must be
pretty cool.

Mm-hmm.
That's great.

[ Shrieking ]
Oh, my goodness! Oh!

Mmm!

Um, well, there's
come chairs outside
that I've got to, uh--

[ Sighs ]
Yeah.

Wow. Wow. Look at you.
I can't believe you're here.

You knew I was comin'.
I know. It's just--
It's been so long.

I know.
It's been three years.

It's really good
to see you.
And you too, love.

Now where would one find
a martini around here?
I need a drink.

Some things
never change, huh?
I guess some things do.

Come on. I'm gonna
show you the house.

Okay.
Can I smoke in here?

[ Vehicle Horn Honks ]

* [ Loud Rock On Car Radio ]
[ Honking ]

Look at that.
Look at that.
There he is.

Pockets Malone.
Whoo! Come here.

Oh, my goodness.
How many times do I get
to spank the groom?

Okay, I'll pass.
No, come back.
Come back.

I just wanna spank
a little stockbroker
like yourself.

You're so cute.
I missed you.
Isn't it just adorable?

I got a big, fat
fuckin' boner.
How about you, Rich?

Yeah, hard as a rock.
All right, gentlemen,
listen.

I think it's time
that the pre-party
commences, yeah?

Yeah.
Yeah? Where's
the bride-to-be?

She's inside showing
her old roommate around.

Oh. She hot?
Yes, but something tells me
you're not her type.

I'm sorry if it was
a little weird out there.

It's just Michael and I
got in this fight earlier.

And it was weird.
Yeah?

His father showed up.

Hmm.

Look, Jen, I just--

I just want to--

Oh, I miss this
so much.

It's not the same
when it's not you.

You'd squirm when
I'd kiss your tummy.

[ Gasping ]
Yeah.

Jen, I shouldn't
be doing this.
I don't care.

I'm getting married
tomorrow.

I know, baby,
but I don't care.

[ Moans ]
Okay, wait, wait. Wait.

Jen, stop, please.
I don't wanna stop.

Okay, Jen, please.

* [ Theme, Upbeat ]

Huh? Are ya?

Well, come on.
Buckle up for safety.
It's Power Time!

Do you get made fun of
on a daily basis
just because...

you're a tad bit bigger
than the rest of
the other kids?

Maybe you just don't
know how to spell.

Maybe you're
a littler "girlier" than
the rest of the other guys.

Don't worry, young ones.
You can put all those
worries and fears behind...

Dude, I don't know
what you think about that,

but that guy
is really creepy.

What is that?
You know, I bought his books
for my nephew--

And he lost 20 pounds.
So, you know, go figure.

If you say so.
I-- I've been away
a long time, you know?

So how's business?
Business is good. It's good.
I'm not complaining.

Ultimate Fighting Championship.
We have a hundred fighters now.
Three of them are mine.

You think what you wanna think,
but I'm tellin' ya
it's a good gig.

Here's to bringing it
to the bank.
Hey. iSalud!

[ Doorbell Rings ]
Mmm. You? Me?

Yeah.
Okay. All right.

Richie.
Got you a drinkie.

[ Man ]
* Yeah
Hi.

Hi.

Well, this isn't
uncomfortable.

- Sorry, Sa--
How are you, Sam?
- Hi, Pockets.

It's so good.
How you doin'?

- Nice to see you. I thought
we lost you over there.
- No, no. Still hangin' in.

- Hi, Samuel.
- Hi, Lana.

* [ Singing Continues,
Indistinct ]

Sorry. Drinks?
Great.

Great. That way.

I still love you.

I really care about you too.
I just--

It's not like that
for me anymore.

What do you mean--
I mean, just so I know.

When you say...
that it's not like that
for you anymore--

What does that mean?
"Not like that."

I'm not attracted to--
to women, you know?

It was you.
I was in love with you.

But now I'm in love
with Michael.

You fight with Michael.
Come on.
You know it's not like that.

It's just I don't see
a future with you.

My future is with Michael.

Right.

I'm gonna unpack.

All right.

* [ Continues ]

[ Unzipping Bag ]

Is everything, um--

Yeah. I'm fine.

Well, we'll be having
a little dinner
in a while.

Um, I'm actually
not that hungry
right now.

Well, we'll be having
some cocktails, too,
if you're interested in that.

That sounds good,
pretty boy.

Why don't you just
let me finish unpacking?

I'll be out
in a little bit.

Okay.

Happy to be here.

- So, P.
- Yeah?

How's life?
Life is good. It's really good.
Really good. Yeah.

I've been doin' the
scout thing in Thailand,
which is really cool.

I met this girl
who works in the octagon,
which is what we call the ring.

It's really funny.
She's wearin'
this little lei.

I went over.
"We're not in Hawaii," which she
thought was really hysterical.

Turns out her name's Leilei,
which, you know, it's funny
because "lei," "Leilei."

You know? Just funny.

Um, yeah, she's really cute.
The other day, she's wearing
this pink scarf.

She had it around her head.
She looked like a nun.
Really adorable.

So, yeah,
to answer your question,
I am currently seeing someone.

That's what
you asked me, right?
'Cause-- Yeah? Okay.

I'm gonna freshen--
Yeah? Okay.
Yeah. Yeah.

[ Phone Ringing ]

- Um, hello.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

I must have dialed
the wrong number.
Wait. Who is this?

Jonathan, is that you?
Yeah. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to bother you.
I called on instinct.

I hope I didn't--
No. No, it's all right.

It's, um-- It's just
a little crazy here
right now.

Hmm. I can imagine.

I remember the night
before I married
Michael's mother.

Actually, I barely
remember it at all.
I was so wasted. Oh.

[ Sniffles ]
Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Michael hasn't been the same
since you showed up.

Yeah, well, it didn't go quite
as well as I hoped it would.
Yeah.

Look, Jonathan,
I don't know you,

but whatever happened
between the two of you
must have been pretty bad.

It was a rough ride,
all right.

It's not really my place,
Elise. I should probably
let Michael tell you.

Why doesn't anybody
wanna give me
a straight answer?

Can you tell me that?
'Cause I'm kinda confused.

Hey, he's had
a rough life.

I sure as hell
didn't help matters any.

Mmm, go easy on him,
all right?

He's a good kid.

I could tell
he really loves you.

I should go.

I still haven't
taken a shower yet.

Um, I'll tell him
you called?

No, no. That's okay.
Don't-- Don't bother.

It was really nice
to meet you, though,
today, Elise.

Yeah, it was really nice
meeting you too.
Bye-bye.

Oh, hey.
Thank you.

Yeah.

How you holdin' up?
Good.

Yeah?
I think. Yeah.

Not really,
but it'll pass.
[ Chuckling ]

You?
Yeah, I don't know.

I heard about that.
Samantha?

Yeah, secrets don't last long
in this crowd, huh?

No, they don't.
[ Scoffs ]

My father
showed up today.

Really?
Mm-hmm.

Jesus. Man, I haven't
seen him since--
Yeah.

So what are you
gonna do?
Me?

I don't know, man.
You tell me.
What would you do?

I'm doin' it.
Yeah, you're doin' it, but--

How do you know
you're ready?

You just do.
I love her.

Yeah, you love her, but--

What if just being in love
with her isn't enough?

It is enough.

Okay. Okay.
Yeah?
[ Glasses Clink ]

[ Chattering ]

I think everyone needs
a little bit more booze.

Are you drinking or what?

No? You'd better be drinking
later on tonight.

* [ Man Singing Rock,
Indistinct ]
You must be the roommate.

And that makes you what,
the bartender?

[ Pouring Drink ]
No, no. I'm, uh--

I'm Quentin, the agent.

Oh. Stick to bartender.

Much more honest profession.

Definitely more attractive.

Excuse me.

I'll keep that in mind.

Bitch.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Look, I want to apologize
for earlier.

That wasn't me.

Well, we all have
our secrets, right?

I just don't want
to end up like him.

Like your father?
Come on. That's--

No. It's--
The way I snapped at you
is the way he used to act,

and I don't wanna
be like that-- not like him.

Well, you aren't.

Maybe if you-you talked to him
every once in a while,
you'd see that.

Do you love me?

Do you really love me?
Because I really love you.

And just with everything
going on, I started questioning.

Hey, no, don't.

Don't. I'll have
no questioning tonight.

I love you.

You're my whole world.
We're getting married
tomorrow.

And all of our friends
are downstairs.

And we're gonna go
and we're gonna have
a good time, understood?

Understood.

- [ Loud Crash ]
- [ Samantha ]
What was that?

- [ Quentin ] What was that?
- [ Samantha ]
We heard a crash.

- Simon says, "I've arrived!"
- Should've known.

[ Laughing ]

Whoops.

He's worse
every time I see him.

You guys know my friend?
Franklin Brauner--
director.

The spirit in me
salutes the spirit
in all of you.

[ Simon ]
Doin' a movie together.
[ Laughter ]

Welcome.
Quite an entrance.
Yeah, buddy.

Can I get you more drink?
Oh, that'd be beautiful.

Okay, okay.
You're doin'
a movie together?

That's right, my good friend,
my agent.

I just got back from Mexico
scoutin' locations, castin'
some of the female roles.

It's a metaphysical Western.
It's El Topo meets The Matri

There's no script.
We're gonna improv
the whole thing.

And Franklin,
he's all about the art.
He's got this idea.

We're gonna
shoot the whole thing
while we're on peyote.

Can I be an extra?
[ All Laughing ]

- Isn't that right, Frankie?
- It's absolutely true.

You can't plan your metaphors.
You have to discover them.

I think I'd like
to sit down now.

How's it goin', bro?
Simon Blake.
I know who you are.

I'm Sam.
Sam Malone.

No shit?
Like that guy from, um--
Cheers?

Yeah.
You're shittin' me.

No, not kidding at all,
except that show started
when I was in the first grade.

And ever since, I can't seem
to tell people my full name...

without a Ted Danson mention
in the following sentence.

That's awesome.
So, if you don't mind,
people call me Pockets.

You're Pockets. Fuck!
Frankie, this is the guy
I was tellin' you about,

the one who put his left nut
in the vacuum cleaner.

- Quentin!
- What? It's funny.

We're just messin'
with you, man.

He was told it was, like,
an autoerotic asphyxiation
thing with, you know--

So why do they
call you Pockets?
I don't know.

Someone said it one day,
and it just stuck. Yeah.
Oh.

Pockets, you got any,
uh, ChapStick?

Yes, I do.
You want mint or cherry?

Regular.
Regular.

Uh, that was cool
as shit.
What can I say?

[ Laughing ]

Not so much.
Thanks.

[ Laughing,
Chattering ]

Hey. Do you mind
if I join you?

No, not at all.

We met a minute ago,
but I didn't catch your name.
Oh. Jennifer.

Jennifer.
Hi. I'm Lana.
Hi.

Do you have an extra one
of those?
Yeah.

Here you go.
Thank you.

You're welcome.
Thanks.

Thank you.

I'm a social nicotine addict.

Yeah, I used to be
a social smoker,

but now I just smoke
all the time.

You look a little lost.
You okay?

Yeah. I just don't know
anybody in there.

Things change, you know?

Well, I'm gonna
get something to drink.

Do you want anything?

Uh, I'm good.
Thank you though.

All right.
See ya later.

Okay. See ya.

You know, I gotta
tell ya, Franklin.

I really liked
your last film.

Despite the box office,
I thought it was great.

Are you a person
of some significance?

Yeah, yeah.
I'm Quentin Rockford.

I'm Simon's agent
over at U.M.A.

So you're not a person
of some significance.

Yeah, but listen.
I gotta ask you a question.

Are you happy with your
current representation?

Too little too late.
I just signed
with Expedition.

[ Murmurs, Belches ]

Hello. I'm Franklin Brauner.
I don't think we've met.

My dick is so big
it won't fit
into a tennis ball can.

[ Coughs ]
That's great. Must compensate
for everything else.

[ Belches ]

Hey, Buttons,
you need a drink.

Man, it's Pockets.
Come on.
I'm so-- Yeah. Yeah.

Listen. I wanna
ask you something.
Come here.

Did you ever sleep
with that girl-- Lana?
Who?

Lana. Over there.
Lana. Lana.

Oh. Yeah.
You did.

Did you?
Not exactly, no.

She's got issues, dude.
Like you wouldn't believe,
right?

Right? Right? You know
what I'm talkin' about.
Absolutely.

Okay. Okay. Okay.
I like you, man.

You're young, you got
good taste in suits,
and your name is Pockets.

I like that.
That's me.

Hey, I'm sorry
about before, man.

I gotta warm up
to people, you know?
Don't worry about it.

You wanna get that drink?
Now you're talkin'.

Let's go. Come on.
Okay. Okay.
Everybody!

Come on.
Excuse me.

It's about that time.
[ Clears Throat ]
[ Quentin Shouts ]

I've known this poor excuse
for a man all my life.
[ Laughter ]

He's my best friend
in the world,

and tomorrow
we lose him to the ranks
of the blissfully married.

But tonight,
before he puts away
all of his childish things,

we have him
for one more evening.

So without further ado,
to the city of sin!

[ Cheering, Laughing ]

I love you!
[ Shouting ]

Hey! That's my ass.
That's my ass.

Hey, wait a minute.
Careful with that one.
Careful with that one.

[ Quentin ]
Oy, yoy, yoy!
[ Imitating Whiplash ]

Hey. Where you goin'?
Hey.

Probably gonna end up
playing a shitload
of Dungeons and Dragons.

You know how we do.
You're retarded.

I know.
You be good, all right?

You be good.
Mmm.

Bye-bye.
Bye.

[ Elise ] Hey, hey.
Careful, careful.

Get outta here.
Come on.

[ Laughing ]

Bye.
[ Sighs ]

[ Lana ]
This is much better.
Okay, girls, so now what?

Let's drink.
I don't know.
I need a drink.

I could use a drink.
You guys want a drink?
Or two.

Let's drink.
Anyone up for pizza?

Whoa. I can't believe
you got the studio
to pay for this thing.

Ah, Pockets, this is
only the beginning.

In honor of my dear friend
Elise's wedding,

I have brought a treat
all the way
from West Hollywood.

No. No.
Yes.

[ Engines Powering Up ]
* She took my heart away

Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Look what I got.

* [ Continues, Indistinct ]

You're so bad!
You are so bad.

[ Guys Chattering ]

Hello?
Is this thing on?

I would like to make
an announcement, please.

I tried thinking
about what to get...

for an interior designer
who has a beautiful house...

and everything
one could ever want
in the whole world.

Is anyone getting married?
Yeah? Marriage? Anyone?

No?
Oh, wait.
Um, me.

Okay. But that means
we can have fun tonight.

What is it?
* Here's somethin' that
you never will forget *

* B-B-Baby, you just ain't
seen n-n-nothin' yet *
[ Laughing ]

Ew!

* Here's somethin' that
you never will forget *
* [ Wolf Whistle ]

Thanks.
[ Quentin ]
You're welcome.

Hello.
* B-B-Baby, you just
ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet *

[ Shouting, Shrieking ]

[ Guys Chattering ]

I'm lookin'
at the bottle. Oh!

- Look at this guy.
- Whoo!

[ All Laughing ]

* And now I'm feelin' better

* 'Cause I found out for sure

* She took me to her doctor

- [ Shouting, Chattering ]
- * And he told me of a cure

- * He said that any love
is good love *
- Nineteen. Ace.

- [ Chattering ]
* So I took what I could get
Yes, I took what I could get *

* And then she looked at me
with her big, brown eyes
and said *

- * You ain't seen nothin' yet
- Twenty-one!

* B-B-Baby, you just ain't
seen n-n-nothin' yet *

* Here's somethin'
Here's somethin' you're
never gonna f-f-forget, baby *

* You know, you know
You just ain't
seen nothin' yet *

- That's all right.
- Twenty-three.

- [ Shouts ]
- Whoo!

Nice!
Place your bets.

* [ Woman Shouts ]

* I don't give a damn
about my reputation *

How much is it?
* You're livin' in the past
It's a new generation *

[ Girls Shrieking ]

* A girl can do
what she wants to do
and that's what I'm gonna do *

* And I don't give a damn
'bout my bad reputation *

* Oh, no
* No, no, no, no, no, no

* Not me
* Me, me, me, me, me, me

* And I don't give a damn
'bout my reputation *

* Never said I wanted
to improve my station *
[ Shrieking ]

* I'm only feelin' good
when I'm havin' fun *

* And I don't have
to please no one *

* And I don't give a damn
'bout my bad reputation *

* Oh, no
* No, no, no, no, no, no

* Not me
* Me, me, me, me, me, me

* Whoa
* No, no, no, no, no, no

* Not me
* Me, me, me, me, me, me

* Oh, no
* No, no, no, no, no, no

* Not me
* Me, me, me, me, me, me

* Whoa
* No, no, no, no, no, no

* Not me
* Me, me, me, me, me, me

* I don't give a damn
'bout my reputation *

* I've never been afraid
of a bad reputation *

* Anyway, oh, no
* No, no, no, no, no, no

* Not me
* Me, me, me, me, me, me

* Whoa
* No, no, no, no, no, no

* Not me

It's a new generation *

* But I only feel good
when I got no pain *
Hello. Over here.

* And that's
how I'm gonna stay *
I've got green.

[ Engines Whirring ]

[ Chattering ]
My time--

Where are we?
[ Mutters, Indistinct ]

Who am I?
Oh, an airplane.

We're going on the airplane
again? I'll fly this time.
[ Continues, Indistinct ]

Ah.
Aye, aye.

Whoo. Whoa.
[ Chuckles ]

[ Horns Honking ]
Whoo! Hello, boys!

[ Clapping ]
So--
[ Women Laugh ]

[ Tires Screech ]
[ Men Chattering ]

[ Groans ]
Ooh. You all right?

Yeah. I just--
Slow down.

I think that they
brought... boobs.
Boobs.

Yeah, I see boobs.
Boobs.

I'm a good
fuckin' agent, man.

Look at that dude
in that fuckin' cowboy hat.

Dude, I don't wanna argue
about semantics.
I--

He's my fucking client.
I don't wanna
get into this shit.

Do you wanna be my client?
Don't-- Uh, no.

Hot tub, anybody?
[ Rich ]
What do you want to drink?

Apple juice.
Huh? No?

Hey, you.
Hey, Sam.
[ Sighs ]

I need your advice.
Shoot.

Do you think Pockets
is still mad at me?

No. No, I just
think he's...

weirded out
more than anything.

Hey.
Hey.

I didn't see you come in.

I came in around the side.
Mmm.

How are you?

Good.

Tired.

Me too.

[ Moans ]

* [ Mellow Funk ]

Trippin' good?

Yeah.

- Drink taste all right?
- Sure.

Good.

Now why don't you pull
your head out of your ass
and go talk to her?

I don't think so, man.
Come on, man.

It's time
to come to terms.

What are you, Dr. Phil?

Think we could get Mickey Rourke
to play the serial killer?

You know, he's almost
been down long enough.

I think he might be ready
for his second comeback.
Hmm?

Speaking of
second comebacks--
[ Trills, Growls ]

...so high, man.
I know, brother.

Hello, gentlemen.
Hello.

[ Franklin ]
Oh, ho! Nice.

Ah.
[ Giggles ]

I'm beat.
You are drunk.

Yeah. Yeah, that too.

Off to bed?
Okay.

[ Laughs ]
That's an offer
I can't refuse.

Good night.
Gentlemen.
You're all right, man.

[ Clears Throat ]

All right.

I gotta go talk to a man
about an elephant.
Yep.

[ Chattering ]

[ Simon ]
Pockets!
[ Groans ]

[ Franklin ]
Pockets!

[ Simon ] Pockets!
Get over here.
Come here. What's with you?

[ Urinating ]

Psst. Psst!

Hey. Hey, you.

You, peeing on the bush?

[ Urinating Stops ]
Yeah?

Are you friends
with Elise or Michael?

Both. Why?

Can you sneak me in the house?

[ Urinating Resumes ]
Can you give me a second?

[ Urinating Stops ]

Okay. That's better.
Now, um--

What?

I'm Elise's sister.
I'm down here from college.

I came early
to surprise her.

Okay. Time-out.

I'm really drunk, okay?
So I apologize in advance,

but--

Fuck, you're hot.

- I'm Sarah.
- Quentin.

So, uh, do you go to, uh--
Do you go to school?
College.

What do you do?
I'm an agent.

But I-- I like to bartend,

uh, on the weekends.

You know, to keep me humble.

- [ Laughing ]
- Oh! Oh, man. Oh.

You-- You stink
like Bob Marley.

What?
You smell. Are you high?
[ Yelps ]

The girls indulged.
Really?

Yes, as I'm sure you did.
No, I did not.

I am too old for drugs now.
[ Laughs ]
Yeah, right.

Far too old.
Oh, yeah?

Yeah.
Are you too old
for strippers?

'Cause a few of them seem
to have followed you home.
[ Groans ]

I'm a dirty old man.
I'm ashamed of myself.
[ Laughs ]

[ Both Scream ]

What did you do?
Oh, we just ordered
some pizza and hung out.

- That's boring.
- Sausage pizza?

Really?
[ Laughs ]

[ Laughing ]
That's another story.

[ Swallows ]
You all right?

Yeah.

Cover me, Goose.
I'm going in.

I'll be your wingman
anytime.
[ Chuckles ]

But I have a meeting
with my new agents at 9:00 A.M.
tomorrow morning.

I think
I'm going to catch a cab
and call this one short.

[ Laughs ]
All right, man. Ciao.
Mmm.

Later.

[ Woman ]
Oh, yes, yes.

[ Sighs ]
Oh, my God.

Do you want a cigarette?
Yes. Please.

Hurry.
[ Chuckles ]

What are you thinking about?

I'm just thinking about
being best man tomorrow.

What about it?

I think it's kind of
a heavy title-- best man.

You know? I'm thinking
maybe I'd rather be, like,
best guy or...

best kid
or best buddy or--

I don't know.
Have you mentioned this
to Michael?

No. I think he's got
enough on his plate
as it is...

just going through
with this madness.

Madness?
What does that mean?

Well, I talked to him
earlier, and he seemed
pretty shaky...

about the whole thing,
you know?

It's just pre-wedding jitters.
It sounds pretty standard to me.

Well, yeah, but--
I mean, marriage-- it's--

It's, like, just what's
expected of you, you know?
It's--

You've been out of college
for a while, so the next step
is that you get married.

And then the next step
after that is that
you have kids.

And then the next step
after that is that you get old,
you get fat and you die.

People don't know what else
to do with themselves, so they
just take the next step...

- towards the grave.
- You think that
that's what Michael's doing?

I-- I don't know.
Maybe.

You don't--
You don't think he loves Elise?
I mean, come on, Rich.

No, I know
that he loves Elise.
I love Elise.

But, you know, sometimes
just being in love
with a person...

is not enough reason
to marry them.

Why not?

Because it is.
'Cause sometimes
love's not enough.

It's more complicated
than that.

S-- Sometimes it isn't.

I see you ladies
are gettin' to know
my good buddy, Pockets.

For you and you.

[ Groans ] Okay.
Don't worry. He won't bite.
Not unless he pays you first.

Wait, wait, wait.
What did you
just say to me?

"Not unless he pays you first."
I hear you're good like that.

Just messin' with you, man.
No, how about fuck you?

Fuck me? Fuck you.
Yeah, fuck you.
You don't know me. Fuck you!

- Whoa! Hey! What the--
- Flavor of the month.

[ Simon ] What the fuck?
Thanks for the lap dance,
girls.

What? What?

- So, you gonna spend the night?
- Sure.

All right. Well, I just--
I don't know where
you're gonna sleep,

'cause there are no more rooms.

Hmm. Where's your room?

Um, I'm in the gazebo.

I'll follow you.

Okay.

[ Samantha ]
Okay. Can we be serious
for one minute here?

[ Sighs ]
Okay.

Okay.

All right.

Are you gonna look at me?
I am looking at you.

Now you are.
[ Sighs ]

Look. I love you,

but taking the next step
with someone you love
is not a death sentence.

I know it's scary.
I know it's a risk.

But so is life, you know?
And--

I'm not saying that we need
to get married tomorrow...

or even a year from now,

but I do want to know
that I have a future with you,

and that--

that you can try
and give that to me.

That's--
That's what I want.

You understand?

I understand.

[ Sighs ]

Scene outside
was kinda weird.
Mmm.

Yeah, you get used to it
after a while.

So, you and Elise went
to college together...

before she transferred
back here, right?
Mm-hmm.

Well, that-- that probably
had to be a lot of fun.
Yeah.

- I'm sure she was a real
party girl back then.
- Oh, yeah. She was crazy.

- We had such good times.
- Yeah, so did we.

- You have
the most beautiful eyes.
- Thank you.

[ Water Running ]

Ladies first.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

So, this is it--

the gazebo,
in all of its glory.

I like it.
It's nice, you know?

It's got a little homey
feel to it, and--
It's perfect.

Mmm-- Whoa, whoa--
Wait, wait, wait. Hey--

Just gettin' right down
to it?

It's been
a really long drive.

Yeah. Okay.

There.

Wait. Wait. Um--

I don't have any condoms.

Can you get some?

Yes, I can.

But I gotta go find Pockets.
I'll be right back.

Pockets?

[ Siren Wailing In Distance ]

Hi.
Hi.

How you doin'?
I'm good.

You workin'?
That depends.

Well, uh, does $500
get me an answer,
by any chance?

$500 will pretty much
get you anything you want.

Okay.
[ Chuckles ]

Here you go.

So?

L.A.P.D.
You're under arrest.

Sorry. Come on.
Up against the wall.
Shit.

You have the right
to remain silent. Anything
you say can and will be...

used against you
in a court of law.
[ Siren Blares ]

- [ Rich Moaning ]
What-- What--
- What-- Oh!

Dude! Wha--
What the fuck, man?

- Hi. Do you have any condoms?
- Have you ever heard
of knocking?

Yeah. Hi, Sam.
Do you have any condoms?

- Why didn't you ask Pockets?
- Because I can't find Pockets.

Dude, what the fuck?

Look, I've got my balls
in my hand, okay?

- Do you have any condoms
or not?
- Bedside table.

Ew!
God!

Get the fuck
out of here, man!
Get out of here!

Okay. Sorry.
Jesus Christ.

Stay strong, brother.
[ Rich ]
Get out of here!

'Cause my favorite, favorite,
favorite, favorite,

favorite,
favorite movie is--

What the fuck
was the name of it?

[ Panting, Exhaling ]

Hmm?

Lana?
Yeah?

You sleepy?

Yeah.

You all right?
Yeah.

All right.
Good night then.

Yeah.

[ Exhales ]

- [ Man ] Turn to your left.
- [ Camera Shutter Clicks ]

- [ Camera Shutter Clicks ]
- Empty your pockets.

Shit, that's a lot of stuff.

Michael, are you awake?

Yeah.
Just thinking.

Do you think everything's
ready for tomorrow?

Everything's
gonna be fine.

Why?

Do you think
they liked my salads?

I'm sure they did.

Do you wanna talk?

Not now.

Okay.
That's what I thought.

I'll see you
in the morning.

Yeah, tomorrow.

* I don't think that

* Kindness is a weakness

- Hi.

How you feelin' there, champ?
[ Laughs ]

I don't know about you,
but these pipes are clean.
What?

Hi.
Oh, my God.

Sarah.

[ Phone Rings ]
Good morning, boss.
How you feeling?

[ Sighs ]

[ Ringing Continues ]
Hey--

Aren't you gonna get that?

No. Answer me first.

[ Ringing Continues ]

[ Chuckles ]

Yeah, I'll get it.
Hello?

It's Pockets.
Pockets, where the fuck are you,
man? We're about to eat.

Don't ask questions.
Don't say anything.

[ Quentin ] You're--
[ Pockets ]
Yeah. Jail.

Okay.
So listen.
I need bail money.

- Yeah.
- I need you to come downtown.
Got it?

Yeah, all right.
Don't say a word.

Yeah.
I'm on my way. Bye.
Thank you.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

Don't worry about it, all right?
This is your day. Relax.

I just gotta go
give Pockets a ride.
It's no big deal.

Be back.
Save me some food.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
What's goin' on?

Michael, come here.

[ Whispering ]

- [ Chattering ]
- What happened?

Well, apparently our
buddy Pockets got popped...

for a little, uh,
drunk and disorderly
behavior last night.

No shit? Yeah.
Yeah.
[ Laughs ]

- [ Laughter ]
- Badass party boy,
that Pockets.

[ Laughter Continues ]

Quentin slept
with my little sister.

That's good.
Michael--

What? What do you
want me to say?

She's 17.

Oh, that's not good.
No.

[ Siren Wailing
In Distance ]

Yeah.

And I was like,
"Dude, it's not an ego thing.

I just think if my name
was above the title, more people
would see the movie."

I mean, what's the point
of making art if nobody's
gonna see it?

Right?

I found him.
[ Laughter ]

Come on, come on.
Hello!

[ Applauding, Cheering ]

Man, only Pockets Malone
would get arrested
for public drunkenness.

Man, you just keep on
gettin' cooler and cooler.

What can I say, guys?
[ Laughing ]

Hey.

Hi.
How's it goin'?

Uh-- Look, man,
I'm sorry about last night.

Don't tell anybody,
but, uh, I can be
a real ass sometimes.

No hard feelings.
I didn't know
you couldn't swim.

[ Laughs ]
Who knew?

Let's get you some breakfast,
you crazy motherfucker.
Okay, okay.

Quentin?
Can I see you in the kitchen?

Okay. Excuse me.
[ Sarah ]
Sure.

Excuse me, ladies.

Hey, man, what's up?
Um, just
a personal question.

Okay.

Did you sleep with
Elise's little sister?

What do you think?
I think you did.

Of course I did.
She's fuckin' hot.

Well, that may be true,
but she's also 17 years old.

[ Scoffs ]
Say what?

She's 17.

[ Mutters ]

She didn't fuck
like a 17-year-old.

Hey.
Hey.

- Can we talk?
- Yeah.

Last night was, um--

Amazing.
Yeah, it was.

But?

I've never done that
before.
Oh.

You were really good.

Really?
Yeah. Definitely.

And not to sound dramatic
or anything like that,
but it was really nice.

I haven't felt that way
with someone
in a really long time.

Well, neither have I.

Are you just playing along
'cause you don't know
what else to say?

'Cause I know last night
you were pretty drunk, so--

No. I couldn't play
anything with this,

because, to be honest,
I've never had this before.

Yeah?

So-- I don't know
what you want to do.

Well, that's--
[ Chuckles ]

That's an extremely
difficult question
to ask me...

because it takes me, like,
an hour to figure out what
I want to eat for lunch, so--

[ Chuckles ]
I forgot. You don't
even know me that well.

I want to get to know you.

Great.

Okay.
I have a lot of problems.

[ Laughing ]
So I fuckin' checked him
on it.

You did not.
Yeah. Checked--
Look. Checked him.

[ Simon ]
That's fuckin' awesome.
[ Sighs ]

Hey.
Hi.

You're 17.
No, I'm not.

Seventeen?

[ Sighs ]
So?
So?

Now I'm a pedophile.
No. I'm the one
who jumped on you. Remember?

Yeah, yeah, and I really
think a judge is going
to appreciate your logic.

Well, I'm not gonna
tell anyone.
You told your sister.

Yeah, but she's cool.

I thought you said college.
I thought you said
you were in college--

[ Sputters ]
Well, I skipped
a couple grades.

[ Sighs ]
Congratulations.

Well, you know this means
we can't see each other now.

Why?
Because I don't want to
go to prison, that's why.

And because it's wrong.
Right?

Well, it didn't feel wrong.

Well, yeah, I know
it didn't feel wrong,

but it-- it's--
it's just--

I'm gonna be 18 in October,
and I'm transferring to USC.

You are?

Yeah.

Okay.
Well, then we'll just--
We'll see each other then.

What about between now
and then?

I thought we just
went over that.

I won't tell if you won't.

[ Moans ]

[ Doorbell Rings ]
Come on.

- Hello.
- Hello.

How are ya?
Good.

Come in?
Thank you.

What?

[ Knocking ]
[ Both ]
Yes?

[ Samantha ]
Lana?
Yes?

- Your date is here.
[ Laughs ]
- Date?

Oh, my God!

I'm sorry. I'm Michael.
I'm the groom.
Oh, hey.

Hey.
Nice to meet you.
Donovan Parker.

Are you--
Yeah, that's me.

Power Time!
[ Laughs ]
Hey, this is for you.

Congratulations, man.
Thank you.

Yeah, hey--
Thank you.

Have a beautiful wedding,
all right?

Thanks. Thanks for coming.
No, thanks for having me.

Hey.

Thank you.
Lana! My baby!

Hey.
Um, I told you
not to wear a tux.

Actually, I distinctly
remember telling you not to.

I know. I-- I--

But you did.
Well, I like 'em.

I can see that.
Yeah. Wanna see
something funny?

Watch this.

That's great.
Okay. See you around.

Okay.

I'll be here.

[ Elise Laughs ]
Okay.

[ Samantha, Elise
Chattering, Laughing ]

[ Laughing ]
Well, so, have you
talked to Rich yet?

We've started.
I just have to... let him
figure it out for himself.

So what did his face
look like when you asked him?

Oh, come on. You know
that "deer in the headlights"
thing he does?

- [ Laughing ]
Was it that big, really?
- It was like-- "Aaah!"

So funny.

- Can I talk to you?
- Yeah.

I'm--
I'll... go find Rich.

Thank you for helping.

Oh, my God. Is that you?

Mmm. Yeah, and--
and my mom.

She's beautiful.

Where did you get it?
Jonathan left it
on the steps.

There's something
I have to tell you, Elise.

Michael, you don't have
to tell me...

anything that
you don't want to tell me.
I want to.

Okay.

My family was--
was never a normal one.

I mean, Jonathan
wasn't there that much,
and, uh, my mother,

who I've...
never told you about--

She meant everything to me.

You don't have to tell me.
It's okay.

Okay.

On the night
of my grandfather's funeral,

my mother found my father
in the bathroom
with some girl...

with a needle in his arm.

He'd been a user for years,

but she'd sheltered me
from it.

And I remember, um,

she yelled at him,
and he yelled back,

and then he hit her.

And so I ran in,

and I just started...

beating him because...
of everything--

the drugs,
hitting my mother,
not being there.

And I told her-- I told her,
"Don't protect him.
He deserves this."

But she did.
She loved him.

All the stuff he ever did
to her, and--

Anyway, so she tried
to push me away
and she fell...

and she hit her head.

There was a lot of blood,
and I just stood there
crying.

She said that we had
to get him to the hospital,

and that I was the only one
who could drive.

I tried, but it was--
it was really confusing,
you know?

It was not like it was real.

I mean, I didn't know what
lane we were in. I could have
swerved, but I didn't.

I just watched her,
and she smiled at me--

even as we hit,

and the car flipped,

and she died.

And my father and I
walked away.

Oh, my God.

Come here. Come here.
[ Sobbing ]

Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry.
I didn't know.

You can't blame yourself,
sweetie.

I don't blame me.
I blame him.

I don't want to.

I'm sorry.

I'm the one who called him.

I told him
about this weekend.

I didn't know.

I thought
you had to face it.

Michael,
what was her name?

Emily.

My mother's name
was Emily.

[ Donovan On TV ] Are you guys
ready to go on a journey
to Power Land? Huh? Are ya?

Hello.
Hey.

It's Power Time!

- Do you get made fun of
on a daily basis...
- What the fuck is this shit?

'cause you're a tad bit bigger
than the rest of the other--
[ Laughs ]

- That's-- That's me.
- What are you doin'?

Um, I-- I make these videos,
uh, for kids.

What, like the Olsen twins?
[ Laughs ]
No.

Um, see, mine--
uh, they-- they teach kids
how to stay in shape...

while, um, helping them learn
at the same time.

A lot of money in that gig?
I do okay.

But, you know,
the real reward for me...

is knowing that I've helped
influence a kid at a very
pivotal point in his life.

- Hmm.
- What do you do?

[ TV Continues, Indistinct ]
So let's rule your school--
with Power Time!

For real?

Yeah. Like, professionally,
what do you--

- I'm an actor.
- Get out of here.

No.
That's great.

Right now I'm doing
a movie with, uh--
with Franklin Brauner.

It's, um--
It's a metaphysical western.

- So you must be
really happy then, huh?
- Oh, yeah.

Hey. Do you want--
Do you want to talk about it?

Talk about what?

Hey, it's okay.

I know an unhappy face
when I see one, mister.

Wait. Who are you again?

How you holdin' up?

- It's been
an interesting weekend.
- You can say that again.

It's been
an interesting weekend.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]
Look.
I just want to know:

Were you ever mad at me?
At times, yeah.

Yeah, I thought you were.

I was in love with you.

I know.

But I was really
screwed up back then.

Yeah, you were.
And I'm still
screwed up.

I guess you are.

You know what?
So am I.

I think we're probably
all screwed up
in our own little way.

Well, I never meant
to hurt you.

Whatever. I--
Honestly, Lana, I just
never understood why.

Well, I never understood
why you didn't want
to sleep with me that night.

Oh, really?
That's interesting,
because, you know,

you happened to jump on me
while I was passed out drunk
and pulled my pants off.

You freaked the living shit
out of me. I thought it was
my frickin' roommate.

What did you expect me
to do?
Go with it.

Well, yeah.
That would've been nice.
You're right.

Except, um,

- I was still a virgin.
- What?

Sam, I'm so sorry.
I-- I didn't know.

That's all right.
How would you know? Right?
I never told you, so--

I mean, it was
our last night at school,

and I just wanted it
to be something, you know,
we could remember.

Oh, I remember.
I remember.

More like it's permanently
burned into my psyche.

[ Chuckles ]
Look.

No. You know what?

Ever since we graduated,
I've wanted to have
this conversation,

and now I just feel like
it's been too damn long.

You know? I mean,
I've probably come up with
every possible outcome...

this conversation could have,
and they all suck.

But you wanna know which one
really sucks my ass the most?
The truth.

So, if you don't mind,
I'm gonna be perfectly honest
with you right now, okay?

Well, you seem--
Well, thanks. I will.

For four years,
I tried to love you,
have a relationship--

Whatever it is you wanna
call it, okay?

But all I really wanted was--
was just to be with you.

Simple as that. You know?
And I'd see you date...

some complete fuckin' asshole
one week, and then it was
another asshole the next week.

And I knew if you just gave me
a chance-- just one chance--

I could have been
so much better for you--

so much better to you--
than those guys could've been.

So you wanna know
if I was mad at you?

Yeah, I was mad at you,
and I'm still mad at you,
'cause you hurt me.

-You just never got it, did you?
-Got what? What?

I just always knew
that you could do better
than me.

What the fuck does that mean?
There is no better, Lana.
It was you.

I didn't wanna hurt you.
I was trying to protect you.

From what? What were you
protecting me from?
I would've just held you back!

[ Sighs ]

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

Okay? I'm not sorry,
but I'm sorry I just
blew up just now.

Yeah, well,
make it up to me.
Say something nice.

Um-- I hope you figure
things out for yourself.

I do.

You know, I think
I'm starting to.

Yeah?

Well, that's good.
What are you gonna do?

Well, I--
I hear London's nice
this time of year.

Yeah?

Hmm?

Wow!

Okay. I sleep
with prostitutes.

I'd like to ask you.

Would you like to come
to a wedding today?

Are you kidding me?

Believe it or not,
I actually got a suit in here.

* [ Continues ]

Well, look at you.

Wow. You look great.

* [ Fades, Ends ]
You-- You look beautiful.

Thanks. So, what did you do
the rest of the afternoon?

Uh, I've been listening
to Donovan Parker talk about
motivating fat children.

[ Laughs ]
I bet you have.

So, you wanna help
button me up?
Yeah.

Yeah, he's kinda
down there all by himself...

with his apple juice
and tuxedo.

It's a little sad.

Oh. That is actually
a sight I'd like to see.

Yeah, it's entertaining.

I love you.

And I love you too.

And... I've been
thinking about it,

and I decided that
that's enough.

I think I was just
too afraid to say it before.

So?

So...

I think we should...
do it.

I wanna do it.

Do it. [ Laughs ]
Do it.

Wow. You have no idea...

how glad I am
you just said that.
Yeah. Me too. Me too.

Yeah, but...
