This isn't what it looks like.

So you're not holding two drinks in your hand

and getting a BJ?

You wanna breathalyze me? Go ahead.

What the fuck?

Ben doesn't drink. I bet it's a DUI.

Well, sponsee,

I think you might want to open your eyes a little wider.

What the fuck are you doing

not telling me my ex-wife's getting married?!

Because I didn't want you to freak out!

I would freak out?! Why would you think

Why the fuck

are you still going to Memphis' wedding?

I was invited.

It doesn't mean anything to you

that I'm still in love with her? that I told you

I know, man, but I already RSVP'd.

And besides, I promised Memphis that I would be there,

and I prefer Yeah? not to break my promises.

you'd stay sober. Well, you promised me

When did I do that?

When you became my sponsor, you said, "Loudermilk",

I promise that I will do everything I can

"to help you stay clean, including lead by example."

Oops.

That's what you fucking got? Oops?

I'm sorry, okay?

I've been very, very stressed out, and I got weak.

It happens. Yeah.

But that doesn't mean

drinking again, too, okay? that you should start

Well, like I could after that Tony Robbins pep talk.

I don't know, you know?

Maybe finding out about this wedding is a...

was a godsend or something.

I'm sure God was all about Oh, yeah,

you breaking and entering into my safe.

It's not breaking or entering. I live here.

And I didn't have to break into your safe

to crack 'cause I was able

your fuckin' Da Vinci Code-level password, Ben.

Oh. Ha ha ha ha ha. That was good.

All right, so I'll pack my bags.

Is this a formal wedding?

T-shirt and flip-flops. No, you know,

It's like a Jimmy Buffet vibe.

Of course it's formal.

Not that it matters in that you're not invited.

Well, I might want to break in and stop the thing,

to be underdressed. and I don't want

Oh, fuck me. Now what?

I'm gonna have to take what's-her-name.

Why? Are you worried

she's gonna sleep in one of our beds or something?

for a couple months, man. She's only been sober

She'll be mainlining before we start the car.

Didn't even think about the bed thing.

Come on.

how it's gonna be now? Is that

You're gonna drink in the apartment, in front of me?

All right. I'm sorry, you're right.

No more drinking...

in the apartment...

while you're home. We cool?

"Stand on the Horizon" plays ] [ Franz Ferdinand's

♪ The North Sea sings, "Won't you come to me baby?" ♪

I still don't get why I had to come, too.

It's too early in your recovery for you to be left alone.

Besides, I need somebody watching Ben while I tinkle.

to just ditch the group? You sure it's okay

I'm not ditching the group.

What?

New Guy's gonna be covering for me.

New Guy? Yeah.

Why that asshole?

Because...

by the time I get back, they'll be so happy to see me,

- I ditched them. - they'll forget

I know that Loudermilk usually begins by mocking everybody...

and disarming... and sometimes that could be cute

but I prefer the Cornell way of really pow...

Hey, where is Loudermilk?

It's kind of a secret.

We're not supposed to tell Father Mike.

Shit, I'm not even sure I'm allowed to tell you guys.

your silly little ass, Well, obviously, if he told

you can tell us, too.

You know, I was thinking that, too,

but then I realized I'm the one he asked

to lead the group in his absence,

holds me in a higher esteem. so he probably

Huh.

He just picked you because he knew

you were a power-hungry little fuck

who would wet his pussy at the mere thought

this shitty... of running

Hey, first of all, I don't have a pussy.

I have a penis just like you.

Prove it.

I'm serious. What?

and do your best to locate it, Find some tweezers

and pull it out,

a-and we'll all get as close as we can,

and we'll... and we'll squint

to try to see what you're talking about.

Yeah, yeah?

tweezers, buddy! Well, you're not gonna need

You're gonna need a spatula!

And besides, I'm not gonna show you my penis,

and you know why?!

'Cause my voice proves it.

Doesn't my voice prove I have one?

Not really.

Are you fucking serious?

I can't drink in the car now, either?

Come on. Dude, it's a really long drive,

I'm an alcoholic! and you know

Please.

That's bad enough in front of me,

but there's a very delicate flower in the back

who's at an extremely impressionable age.

for the last two weeks, Ben's been drinking his ass off

and if he just quits cold turkey,

he might get the DTs.

You knew he was off the wagon?

Looks like you're the only one

Sherlock Homo. who didn't know,

"Sherlock Homo"!

All right, all right, all right, all right.

Can we agree that you're not gonna drink behind the wheel,

at least?

a control freak, man. You know, you really are

B-By the way, I'm the only one out of the three of us

who still has a license, so I make the rules.

Cheers. Great.

What if we get in an accident?

Huh?

Or...

Is that...? Or that.

Where? Oh, my God.

Oh, that guy's... Oh, boy. Okay, okay.

I'm going to jail. Great.

Again.

Don't worry.

The only person going to jail is the drunk driver.

You've been driving pretty erratically

couple miles. over the past Oh.

Is that right?

Um, I'm sorry about that.

Have you been drinking?

No, officer. When my father used to drink,

he would beat my mother,

a drop of alcohol my whole life and I swore I'd never take

and I never have.

Oh.

Sorry.

Well... just slow down, okay?

I don't know why we were going so fast anyway.

to go nowhere, right? I mean, we're all in such a rush

I mean, where are we all going?

How are we gonna get there?

What's gonna happen to us, you know?

Like, who's up there? I don't know.

Right?

What the fuck was that?!

What? I was just improvising a little.

I was trying to help you out.

Okay. Well, this isn't the fucking Groundlings, okay?

I had that.

to lie about, Ben. That was a shitty thing

You're gonna get bad karma for that.

Oh, okay.

So, let me get this straight...

would it have been better if it were true

did beat my mother? and my father

Yeah. You make me sick.

Come on, man. We got to go in here?

Yes.

for seven straight hours, You've been driving

and we're not missing meetings.

Oh, yeah, meetings are so important.

I've been going for years. Look how I turned out.

Hey, you had a relapse.

and open up. You got to get back in there

Talk about whatever it is that set you off.

Yeah, I've been having flashbacks

hitting mommy. of daddy I'm serious, man.

is going on with you? What the fuck

- I don't know. Nothing! - Everything. Life.

You know, it's never just one thing.

Look, man, are you sure you want to go in here?

It looks like we're walking into a Klu Klux clambake.

We're all the same. We're alcoholics.

Don't be elitist, man.

You're go... Wait. Hold on.

You're calling me elitist? You?

I'm only elitist about music.

facial hair, Uh, and coffee,

serial commas, dim sum... hats!

You're so fucking particular All right, fine, fine! about hats!

I'm elitist, fine!

about this. I'm not fucking elitist

All right? This is recovery.

That's the great equalizer.

Anybody who's battling addiction has a story worth telling.

You know, your wife dumps you,

with yourself where you... you play a lot of games

you try to... You know, you magnify all of her flaws,

like her tacos were soggy, she couldn't punctuate...

You know... I mean, I'd come home to a note that would say,

"Honey, I'll be home at 5:00, comma, I love you,"

fuckin' sentences. and it's two

Anyway, that's...

It's a lot of bullshit. Right?

You're just trying to con yourself into thinking

that you're better off without her and it's time to move on,

but I...

Man, I can't.

I don't get you. You know what, man?

I mean, you lost Memphis four years ago.

Why is this just hitting you now?

'Cause up till now, there's always been hope.

some other dude... I mean, once she marries

that's it... it's over.

Hey, you ever try picturing her

taking a real stinky shit?

That always works for me.

No.

You really surprised me in there.

I mean...

you don't even share like that with your own group.

Just felt safe, I guess.

I don't know.

I mean, I don't know them.

I don't give a shit what they think.

Well, I had no idea

you were still so in hung up on Memphis.

I told you I was.

When I talk, do you not listen to me?

I drift in and out. Oh.

Seriously, though, man, that was some heavy shit.

I mean, you got me thinking that maybe this wedding

you need to do. is the last thing

What are you talking about?

Listen, man, this is the real world,

not a movie, and in the real world,

brides don't back out of their own wedding.

could kill you, Sam. This trip

You know what? Fuck New Orleans.

Why don't we go somewhere fun, like Miami or L.A.?

We'll find ourselves some new chicks.

Look...

if I just look her in the eye I know in my gut that

and tell her how I feel,

she's gonna realize that she feels the same way

and call the goddamn thing off.

So that's what I got to do.

Hey, group is in session! Take your seats!

Oh, yeah, we'll take our seats as soon as you show us

your clit already.

Very funny. You know, I don't have a clitoris,

than any of you. and I get way hotter chicks

Oh, you guys think that's funny?

You don't believe it?

Well, how many of you are this close to dating Rihanna?

Just 'cause you play the skin flute

mean you're gonna date her. thinking about Rihanna doesn't

Oh, yeah, make your jokes, but you know what?

I'm the one who's gonna be tapping her, not you.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. You talking about Ri-Ri?

The... Come on, now. Rihanna, the singer?

The one that's in "Annie"? That Rihanna?

Yeah, Rihanna.

I donated a lot of money to her causes,

she finally agreed to follow me on Twitter,

this week. and I'm gonna ask her out

Are you back on meth?

Hey, she might say yes.

Stranger things have happened.

Really? Like what?

They cloned a sheep.

That don't beat that!

Deal me in. What you got?

Where the hell is Loudermilk?

Oh, I'm in charge.

Uh, he's away for, uh... for an hour.

For an hour?

Okay, three days.

He left the group for three days,

and he didn't tell me?

Yeah, sounds kind of bad when you say it that way,

in fairness to him, Father, but, you know,

he did have an important ceremony to go to.

A funeral? Uh, actually, it was a wedding.

Loudermilk abandoned this group...

to a wedding? to go

Put out the goddamn smokes!

It's a goddamn historical landmark!

Why the fuck did you throw Loudermilk

under the bus, ass-chin?

I didn't. Yeah, you did. Man:

You ratted him out. What are you talking about?

You all saw it with your own eyes...

Father Mike verbally waterboarded me.

You snitch.

You gave the keys to my room

to an obsessive-compulsive meth-head fuck

so you could go to a wedding?!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, language.

Come on.

I thought you took your responsibilities here seriously.

I do. Th-This is...

Look, I'm not just going to bang bridesmaids, okay?

I'm...

the bride. I'm going after

This is a serious dereliction of conscience and duty

to abandon people who depend on you being there.

It's the... It's the last straw.

I'm taking the room away from you,

to somebody who cares. and I'm gonna give the room

Look... That...

I don't get a second chance?

You ran out of second chances five chances ago!

Don't bother coming back here!

Hello?

Shit, man.

Did he just take your group away from you?

Yeah.

Wow. I-I'm sorry, man.

Hey, it's probably a good thing.

in that group suck, right? I mean, most of the people

Except for Cloud and... and Cutter.

Where the fuck's Cutter been lately, anyway?

I'm gonna take Mom and Scamper out here for a walk.

Make sure Mama Bear's motor faculties are okay.

in here by yourself? You gonna be okay

No. Can I please go home now?

Why?

So you can be reunited with your two besties...

booze and heroin?

I'm going to my goddamn job! I'm not going home.

Don't you take the Lord's name in vain,

you ungrateful cocksucker!

Yeah, that would be a real tragedy of justice,

you not being able to come up with some catchy slogan

themselves to an early grave. so more people could drink

For me, it would.

Don't go snooping around.

I have better things to do than snoop.

Like what?

You're triple-locked in a trailer,

don't work. and the TV

Damn. Suddenly, I feel bad.

First 200 pages are slow, but stick with it.

No, no, no, no.

I don't know why,

but I always end up dating guys who treat me bad.

They're either abusers or cross dressers.

are bad, Not that all cross dressers

but the guy I dated...

he used to pee on me.

I don't know.

Maybe I just deserve guys that treat me bad.

Hey, Marika, you know that is not true.

that lifts all of us every day. There is a goodness in you

Don't let the bad people diminish the good in you.

What the fuck are you doing?

I'm sorry, new friend,

d-do you disagree with the counsel that I'm giving?

in a meeting? Why the fuck are you drinking

Uh, we... we don't speak at "decibel 10" in here, friend.

Um, we never like to go above a five, actually.

What is wrong with you?!

Excuse me, sir, could you back off?

to me. with him drinking? You're okay He was talking

Judge not lest ye judge yourself.

No, let's judge, okay?

You're a doormat.

Don't be.

Stop dating assholes who pee on you.

You, stop drinking in the middle of a meeting!

You're not supposed to do that.

Oh, don't dump your liberal bullshit on me, okay?

about politics. This isn't

I happen to know what I'm talking about, okay?

I'm a leader myself. Was a leader.

Was?

Uh, what'd, you get canned?

Now, what, because I took a couple of personal days off,

I'm not a...

You... You abandoned your group?

I didn't abandon anybody.

I-I-I left them with the... the new guy.

Yeah, yeah, he's been sober for like what, uh, two weeks?

More than him!

And you're judging me? You know what?

I had my relapse like six months ago.

And believe me,

the last thing I thought I should do was to walk in here.

But then I realized,

to help myself, if I don't have the strength

I might still have the strength to help those who depend on me.

So, unlike you, Mr. Selfish, I came to these meetings

because the word "abandon" is not in my personal vocabulary.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me, uh......

would you mind if I had a little...

just a skosh of the, uh...

I would love one. Oh, you want a drink?

relapsed myself. I just

by the way. My name's Ben, Russell. What's going on?

Okay. How you doing?

This will be good. All right.

Ben. Oh. Here we go.

Mm. We were driving forever,

and Mr. Selfish Ben! didn't want to stop...

Okay. All right. Hey, cheers, huh?

everybody. Good luck, Oh, yeah, cheers.

to just pull over later and get more.

I was kidding.

and rub them under your arms Yeah, get those

every half an hour or so.

Rub them under yours.

Snappy comeback. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

I want you to keep an eye on him, yeah?

he's a grown-ass man. Dude,

He can take care of himself.

And he goes, "I'm just joking."

'Cause he thought it was too many.

How should I know?

'Cause you're supposed to be watching him!

Okay, assignment Nazi.

I had to go, too.

for like 20 minutes. You were in there

So you didn't see where he went?

He's probably still in there.

He's not. Check the bathroom.

I just came from the bathroom.

Jesus Christ.

Ben!

Ben?!

Oh.

Watch your step.

Okay, baby. Oh, sweetie, come on.

It's just pictures of you hanging out with a buddy.

That wasn't just a buddy.

That's Ollie.

My sponsee.

And he's dead 'cause of me.

you can't blame yourself Cutter,

when... when someone else decides to do...

whatever they're gonna do.

Yeah.

Yeah, I can.

trying to do the best I could, I was always on his ass,

just like... I do with you.

And then, one day, he had a slip.

And I got so mad

'cause he didn't go to a fuckin' meeting with me!

And then I said...

"You want it your way, big shot?"

Go ahead.

"Go ahead and s-see where it gets you."

An hour later, I got the call.

Uh...

I got the call. An hour later,

You did the best you could.

I mean...

you can't control everything somebody does.

control what we do. I mean, shit, we can't even

I could've did more.

What more could you possibly have done?

You can't control someone 24 hours a day.

I mean, unless you...

to your trailer and... handcuff someone

that's not the answer.

Sorry.

Hey, hey, hey, I-it's okay.

At least I understand why you're so extreme with me.

get you home. We got to

R-Really?

You sure he's gone?

Positive.

We've been searching for him for two hours.

But you said his car is still here.

That's right.

Well, how could he be gone if his car is still here?

Uh... I don't understand the question, I guess,

but that's kind of my point.

That's how I know something is wrong

and he's not. is because his car is here

Maybe he hitchhiked somewhere.

Left you the keys on the front tire.

People do that around here all the time.

Why would he hitchhike when he has a car?

I don't know.

Maybe he wanted to get away from you

but he didn't want to leave you in a lurch.

Did you check the front tire?

L-Look, he loves that car, okay?

ever hitchhike somewhere He would never,

and leave the car.

If he was trying to ditch us, he would take the car,

and he would leave us to hitchhike.

Well, he doesn't sound like much of a friend if he'd do that.

if you find him? So why do you care

No, because he Di... That's a hypo...

He didn't do that, okay?

Look, I'm... I'm really afraid

something bad has happened, you know?

and passed out Like he wandered into the woods

or he got hit by a truck or something.

He'd been driving for a bunch of hours,

and... and... and he was pretty drunk

by the time we pulled over.

Wait a second. Whoa, whoa.

You let your friend drive drunk?

Um, yeah, I-I-I lost my license,

and so did she, so...

That's...

I ought to arrest you.

For being an enabler? For what?

You can't arrest me for that.

Mm.

Touchy, sir.

Touchy.

"Touchy?"

"Touchy?"

Do you mean "touché"?

Yeah.

Home run, huh?

You crushed it, right?

"Crushed it"?

I didn't crush it. No,

How was I supposed to crush it

when you had me locked inside a trailer

when I should've been preparing?!

It was a fucking disaster!

15 minutes to explain It took me

why I had dental floss in my forehead!

You should've told them it was an antiseptic.

An antiseptic! That's great! Yeah, no!

Next time, I'll bring you in

Whoa, whoa! so you can ruin my life in front of everybody!

Whoa, whoa! Don't bite my head off.

It's like you said back at the trailer...

you can't control everything.

Everyone!

you can't control everyone. I-I said

Things you can control,

like... like doing great at a pitch meeting!

That's a controllable thing

if you have the fucking time to prepare!

Oh, fuck!

Fried chicken, order up!

♪ You can lay down and die ♪

Ben, where the hell are you?!

- but I was kidnapped. - Okay. Everything's fine,

What?

Yeah, the second I walked out of the bathroom,

a guy ambushed me and forced me into his car.

Okay. Where are you?

I'll call the police. No, no, no, no.

Look, that won't be necessary.

I got him talking about his childhood and shit.

He feels really bad now.

I think he just wanted some company driving to New Orleans.

You're in New Orleans? I'm sorry. You're...

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, of all the places

this guy wanted to go, New Orleans.

And, um, you know,

that maybe you're right. it's got me thinking

You know, maybe God is behind all this.

I don't... I-I-I'm not following that at all.

Tell you what, man.

Why don't you just take my car,

to Seattle? drive back

How am I gonna do that? I don't have the keys.

I put them on the front left tire.

Oh, for fuck's sake...

Yeah, Ben, listen, okay?

I'm coming to you, all right? I'm on my way.

Just, uh, you got to do me a favor, though, all right?

I need you to talk to Memphis. Me?

You... You want me to talk to her?

Yeah, I... I... Yeah.

You know, I need you to grease the wheels a little bit.

Okay. That sounds good.
