John Adams said, "About a third of the country"

supported the revolution,

and the other third were loyalists, and they opposed it,

A final third were indifferent,

"and they either couldn't decide or they didn't care."

[upbeat instrumental music]

It's hard to imagine anybody who couldn't care.

I suppose it's kind of like parents who spend a lot of money

to send their kids to school,

and then they don't even pay attention,

like Mr. Watkins over there.

-Excuse me. -Why do you bother

to come to class if you're gonna just sit there

and play with your phone?

I was listening.

Really? Well, what exactly were we talking about?

Why don't you tell everybody?

[upbeat instrumental music]

You have no idea, do you?

Why are you picking on me, professor?

Well, because there's nothing worse

than people who don't pay attention.

People like you. 'cause it's rude.

Okay.

[upbeat instrumental music]

Anyway, I've had enough to say for today, so,

-you guys can go. -[chains clinking]

[computer keys clacking]

[upbeat instrumental music]

[upbeat instrumental music]

[upbeat instrumental music]

[Student] Thank you.

-[upbeat instrumental music] -[birds chirping]

-[footsteps scuffling] -[upbeat instrumental music]

[upbeat instrumental music]

-Ahem, Professor Fenton, I, -[Brian sighs]

-[urine flowing] -I need a word.

I'm not sure you notice, but,

-[urine flowing] -I'm taking a leap.

Yeah, I've been going over your, uh,

your evaluations from last semester.

-[urine flowing] -So?

[urine flowing]

I got concerns.

Hey, look, the thing is, Brian, you've been getting

strictly meet expectations of ALS,

-and considering, -[Brian sighs]

what the students have been saying about you,

I feel like that's a gift.

Yeah, I work the students pretty hard,

and when they do well, I reward them.

Surely, you know better than anyone

not to put too much stock in these evaluations.

Well, lemme just get to the point.

Yes, they are our students,

but they are also our paying customers.

You make it sound like we're running a Taco Bell.

You know, the administration

sees everything differently now.

So, now, they're treating student evaluations

like Trip Advisor, is that it?

Look, you can make fun of it all you want, Brian,

but do so at your own peril.

-My own peril? -Yeah.

Look, the students disapprove of you.

And you haven't published anything in, what, 10 years?

I'm working on a radical sweeping overview

of the American Revolution.

Oh, yeah? When's that gonna be finished?

[water trickling]

I'm just a little behind on research,

so it's kind of hard to say.

Look, if you don't get something in print real soon,

you're gonna be in a really bad place.

Worse than being stuck in the bathroom

with my department head watching me take a piss?

Do I smell alcohol on your breath?

[Brian laughs]

Look, I'm assuming you want your job.

I assume that you know better than to try to take it.

I gotta get to class.

People are watching.

-Mm-hmm. -[extractor fan humeming]

I'm on your side, man.

[extractor fan humeming]

[door handle squeaking]

-Okay. What now? -[door thuds]

Well, it was a great lecture, Professor Fenton,

it kind of really went downhill.

Oh, Watkins, you mean?

Yeah, I've been meaning to tell you,

but he's now refusing to come to the discussion sessions

and he told me that he won't accept being marked down

for missing those classes.

He won't accept it.

Well, it's, it's not exactly an offer, Gillian.

You can inform him that he's gonna be docked a grade

for not showing up.

Flunk the son of a bitch.

And if he has something to complain about,

tell him to come and complain to me.

Sometimes we have to do these sort of things,

so we can enjoy the funner things

and the better things in life.

You can tell all the Watkins of the world.

They'll buck the fuck up.

I'll take care of it.

Thank you.

[birds chirping]

[footsteps thudding]

-Here. -Oh, whoa. [chuckles]

-Wine for lunch. -Sure. Why not?

I didn't mean to interrupt you.

What are you working on?

Just some briefs on the Ferguson trial.

Oh, right, it's the case about the woman

who killed the other woman

because the other woman was going back

to her husband, right?

Like an episode of "Dallas."

Pretty much. Puts food on the table.

No doubt. But where's the truth in it?

So, you interrupted me to discuss the morality of my job.

Your job is to get people off of something,

whether or not they did it or didn't.

My job is to write about things that happened,

but never refer to the consequences,

and that puts food on the table too, right?

Mm-hmm, but I'm pretty sure I bought the table.

-[Brian sighs] -I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Look, you clearly had a bad day.

What's going on?

My department said that if I don't start publishing,

they're gonna kick me out.

Well, what about tenure?

The university's in trouble. Okay.

Enrollment is down,

and the higher powers, they don't like higher education.

The lawmakers that is.

Yeah, I understand that.

But what about your idea about the American Revolution?

-You- -I don't know,

maybe it's just, uh, writer's block.

I don't know.

-Could be. -Listen,

how many years has it been?

I don't think you can call it "writer's block" anymore.

I mean, sometimes you just gotta call a spade a spade.

You aren't inspired.

You know, and you might be a little bit comfortable.

Maybe if you, you know, put down the wine,

and just focus on writing.

[hands smacking]

Um, you know what?

I don't know what we're talking about.

-[Corrine laughs] -And I'm sorry

if I let you down.

I am having a shitty day.

You know, I'll take credit for that.

It's Boaz. It's nearby.

-It's close. -Everything all right?

Yeah, you know, it's typical shit,

working through stuff, thank you.

Dawn and I, our issue. [sighs]

We've been fighting a lot. All right.

Things have gotten a little bad.

Uh.

That's okay. I thought you needed money or something.

Uh, actually, about an hour from your house.

Oh, really? Well, okay.

-Uh. -[birds chirping]

Look forward to seeing you.

Hey, you smell like weed.

-You know it. -[footsteps thudding]

Look at this place.

The feng shui, Pops, I didn't know you had it.

-[backpack thudding] -[footsteps thudding]

Oh my God, are these things real?

What's on your mind?

I'm starving. That's what's on my mind.

I am freaking starving.

Well, your mom will make you a sandwich when she shows up,

but she's probably gonna be pissed off

that you're smoking weed.

Yeah. Well, you chose her, not me, Pops.

[body thuds]

What's on your mind?

What's on your mind?

[Brian] I don't know.

I haven't seen you like this since high school.

[Brian] Oh, I'm fucked up. What I gonna say?

-[Danny chuckles] -What about you?

Uh, ah...

Me and Dawn, Dad, we're not doing great.

Kinda having a rough patch right now.

Trailer Park Paradise, huh?

[Danny scoffs]

Why gotta say stuff like that? [sighs]

That was making fun of me, but, yeah.

Okay, the RV park, Dad.

I'm sorry. I'm just trying to understand.

Look, there's this art fair that I met this woman at.

We had a brief little thing. Okay?

Dawn and I were not really like, intimate,

and somehow Dawn found out about it, all right?

It ended quick. It didn't mean anything.

But I guess out of revenge or something,

she starts sleeping with this shithead owner

of the restaurant she works at.

Who's a scumbag, by the way.

He's married.

He's rich as shit, and he thinks he owns the fucking town.

How rich do you have to be to own that?

That's not the point, Dad.

The point is, they probably have been...

I'm sorry. That must've been tough.

Yeah, it wasn't pretty. I didn't know what to do.

So, I left, I hit the bank,

and, you, now I'm here.

[Brian] What'd you do at the bank?

I emptied our account.

That was a bad decision.

Yeah, well,

it's our money, man.

If she wants to be whoring around town,

she can spend that guy's money.

I'm gonna go get some more wine.

[footsteps thudding]

Dad, when you need a drink, you need a drink, huh?

[Brian sighs]

[wine flowing]

-[cork squeezes] -[bottle thuds]

-[door handle clicks] -[door hinges squeaking]

-[door thuds] -Babe?

[sighs] I am starving. You wanna go out for dinner?

Someone is here.

[glass clicks]

-Hey. -What the hell?

-Oh, hi, Danny. -Hi.

-How are you? -I'm good.

What's going on here?

What do we owe this wonderful honor of your presence?

He just dropped by for a visit.

He needs to tell me something.

Oh, okay, so, did I get the email, or the text,

or the call about this?

-So, what's happening? -I don't know, ask him.

[glass scraping]

Me and Dawn we're not doing

-too hot right now. -Mm.

Just wanna get some space to clear my head,

-you know? -Right.

So, you decided to drive 300 miles

to our house from Bumfuck Boaz.

[chuckles] Bumfuck?

[Brian laughs]

I forgot my smokes in the car, so...

Oh, smoking now?

Only in stressful situations, Corrine.

[footsteps thudding]

[Brian sips]

-Brian. -[door hinges squeaking]

He's my boy for god's sakes, honey.

-He's your what? -He's my son.

-He's 30 years old. -And I'm 60.

He can't just come traipsing in and outta here

whenever he wants.

He's welcome here anytime. Okay.

Okay. Well, you guys have a good night.

It's his home too.

[upbeat instrumental music]

-[crickets chirping] -[water flowing]

I never realized how pretty it was here, man.

-[crickets chirping] -[water flowing]

[chuckles] I couldn't even see where the bushes were

as a kid.

Yeah, I remember that.

-It's, -[water trickling]

this feels weird without Corinne.

Not fancy enough for her?

You know, she's got a big case going on,

controlling her life,

and she doesn't like surprises.

Yeah. [teeth scraping]

-[crickets chirping] -[water flowing]

She treated me like an intruder.

You know, I think she just wants you to be

more on your own, that's all.

I'm on my own.

And even if I wasn't,

I'm technically her son too,

-[crickets chirping] -[water flowing]

Of course, she loves you in her own way.

Okay, Dad.

-[crickets chirping] -[water flowing]

This thing with you and Dawn.

Okay, it's like this,

you know, you're with somebody

and you have to traverse, I don't know, the storms

and go through shit together, right, to find out

if you really love someone or like someone, whatever,

you know, relationship shit.

Maybe, look, I know,

I know I fucked up.

I shouldn't have banged that chick, right?

But I owned up to it and I admitted it.

And I ended it. Okay?

Like, Dawn hasn't done any of that.

All this stuff that you're telling me,

it makes no sense.

So, maybe better rethink it.

I don't know what I'm doing. I'm not like you.

I don't,

I don't live in my head, all right?

I'm, [sighs]

[chomps] this is new for me.

Are you gonna eat that?

-No, you can have it. -God, Jesus,

let it go to waste, oh.

-[knocking on door] -Yeah?

[door handle clicks]

Professor Fenton?

-Yeah? -[door thuds]

[footsteps scuffling]

[paper thudding]

You gave me a D on the midterm,

which respectfully, sir, is ludicrous.

The fact that you didn't get an F

is what's ludicrous, cowboy

Not funny.

You see me laughing?

Look, I'm not the kiss-ass type, not ask for handouts.

A real Darwinian kinda guy, huh?

I'm not sure what you're getting at,

but I'm gonna let that slide.

That's very kind of you, Bobby.

I'm surprised you think you have the option

to let something slide.

Bobby, I read this before,

and I'll look at it again and again.

But you deserve that D.

[Bobby chuckles]

So, this is how it's going to go?

[dramatic instrumental music]

Guess you leave me no choice.

-[paper thudding] -Listen,

the choice that you have is to take my class more seriously.

And if you did that, you might get a better grade.

Nah, I'll take it up the food chain.

[dramatic instrumental music]

[paper shuffles]

[paper thuds]

[paper shuffles]

You're welcome to do whatever you please.

[chuckles] I have a bunch of classmates

who feel the same way.

The choice is yours.

Make the changes,

or prepare for the shit storm.

I'll take the shit storm.

You can take that shit with you.

[cellphone ringing]

[upbeat instrumental music]

-Hello? -You hear

about Daddy falling again?

Listen, buddy, that woman is worn out.

With him getting her up like three, four times a night,

wetting the bed and all.

It ain't fair to put all that on her.

Bird's in your territory here.

You need to get down here. Decisions need to be made.

Shouldn't we all wait to hear from Claire?

Jesus, what kinda sons will we be

we let Daddy fall apart like this and just do nothing.

-[horn beeps] -The sons that should have

respect for the wishes of their father.

I swear to God.

Just stay up there in that ivory tower.

You better hope Daddy doesn't die while you're busy

lecturing on the Civil War.

Oh, you mean the American Revolution?

Oh, you're so funny.

I bet your students love that.

When are you gonna take some damn responsibility?

[upbeat instrumental music]

Fuck you, Jeff.

-[footsteps thudding] -[computer keys clacking]

-Good morning. -[birds chirping]

-[water flowing] -[birds chirping]

Which way are you working on that love triangle thing?

[birds chirping]

How'd you know that?

Mm, Dad told me about it?

[car engine whirring]

Don't worry, we're family, Corrine, all right?

-[birds chirping] -[water flowing]

[grunts] If you need any help let me know,

let me know.

You? How can you help me, baby?

-[computer keys clacking] -[birds chirping]

I happen to have extensive knowledge,

about love triangles.

I can even be your legal consultant.

Oh, really?

-Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. -Okay.

-[object clicks] -[birds chirping]

This chick your defending is a chick, right?

-Mm-hmm. -Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm, she's all butt hurt

that the married man that she's banging,

[birds chirping]

Ran back to his old wifey,

and then kill her.

-[bread crunching] -[birds chirping]

-Something like that. -Mm-hmm.

But if the girlfriend didn't kill a wife,

you think the husband did?

[bread crunching]

Well, yeah, I mean, he has a motive,

but he also has a solid alibi.

He was playing cards with two of his pals

at a house 15 miles away from the crime scene.

-[birds chirping] -[water flowing]

What about his pals? You question them?

Yep, they've all signed affidavits

saying they were with them on the night of the crime.

[sniffs] What if they're lying?

Why? I mean, what's in it for them?

-I don't know. -Lying,

committing perjury in a murder case?

No. [chuckles] No.

[birds chirping]

Did the misses have life insurance?

-Yeah. -Bingo!

I knew it. I knew it.

Go ahead. How much?

-A 100 grand. -Mm-hmm.

That's it, they're gonna split it three ways.

25 grand a piece. Who wouldn't do that?

-It's a no-brainer. -[birds chirping]

-Well, -Mm-hmm.

I say it's 33 grand a piece, but yeah.

-Thank you for that. -Mm-hmm.

-[Corrine chuckles] -You should work

on your math, if you're gonna be a lawyer.

Hey, Corrine, tomatoes, tomatoes.

That was free.

Free love triangle consultation anytime you need it.

Yes, you should get cards made up.

-Mm, okay, -[birds chirping]

-well, good luck. -[car engine whirring]

[Corrine chuckles]

Good Lord.

-He's such an asshole. -Yeah, like what kid?

[Gillian] Guys, I understand,

but there's not much I can do.

-Yeah, but you gave me, -It's hard to-

'cause we're graduating.

-This is my last grade. -Yeah, I understand that.

-He's so hard in grading. -Maybe-

-It's not even a show... -Chante.

-[upbeat instrumental music] -[singer indistinct]

[door lock clicks]

-Hi. -Hi, Jules.

Yeah, come on.

-[muffled chattering] -[footsteps scuffling]

Get the door, would you?

-[door handle clicks] -You know,

how do they think that I can't hear that?

I'm right there.

Bobby must have talked to them already

because they're making the same claim about unfair grades.

-[footsteps scuffling] -[suspenseful music]

A bunch of little rats. [grunts]

[sighs] Who are they mad at? Me or you?

We both grade the exams, right?

Well, I didn't give out any Ds or Fs like you did, sir.

And they're insisting they need at least a C

if they're going to graduate.

You know, there's still the final exam, right?

Yes, And I mentioned that,

but they're convinced that you have it in for them.

And now they're joining Bobby

to form a formal protest

against the chair and the dean, and...

Listen, don't fall pray

to these angry entitled deadbeats, okay?

Because they think life should be fair

and it's not.

It's not fair for anybody.

[dramatic instrumental music]

-Thank you for your time. -Sure.

-[Brian clears throat] -[paper shuffles]

[dramatic instrumental music]

-[door handle rattles] -[door handle clicks]

[door handle clicks]

What are you lost or you got kicked out

of your own office, or?

Funny, looks like you're losing control

of your survey class, Brian.

-Excuse me? -I got half a dozen students

coming to my office to complain

about your grading and your overall attitude.

Take a look at the exams, Pat, and read 'em.

I guarantee you the low grades they got were well deserved.

In fact, maybe they should have been even lower.

Brian, they're seniors.

You don't wanna be the reason why they don't graduate.

I won't be the reason. It'll be their own laziness.

You know, Bobby's father sits on the state legislature

and oversees higher education funding, right?

-You've got to be kidding. -Wish I was.

I got lots of work to do.

And I'll get back to you.

Figured. What, more boozing?

[laughs] Maybe, maybe so.

Is that who I'm looking at right now?

[suspenseful instrumental music]

Maybe.

You look like a couple of retards.

Driving this far to get your beat.

[Ricky chuckles]

That's not gonna happen.

Listen, no one's late in paying, Calvin.

You mean shithead?

[Ricky chuckles]

[towel shuffling]

Danny, right?

Yeah. Yeah, that's my fucking name.

My name's Ricky. Calvin's my boss.

He pays me to collect from douche bags like you.

[sighs] Well, I'm sorry to hear

you work for that piece of shit.

Second of all, yeah, we have a huge misunderstanding

'cause you are definitely looking

for my ex-girlfriend, Dawn.

Yep, yeah, 'cause she and Calvin are really close.

Real close, yeah, but she's tough to catch, man.

So, you know.

Well, Dawn's the one that told us about you.

Said you got a bunch of money, you stole it from her bank.

Well, hence why? She's my ex, Ricky.

[chuckles] Do I look like a bank robber?

Listen, I got zero fucks to give.

-Okay, man. -So, just gimme a reason.

Excuse me fellas, you got a problem here?

Who the fuck is she? Your mom?

I'm the homeowner,

and right now I'm seeing breaking and entering,

illegal possession of a firearm,

and possibly terroristic threats.

So, I'm gonna ask you kindly to

get the fuck outta my house.

Lawyer.

Sure, well, Danny, I think

we'll be seeing each other again very soon.

I'm looking forward to it, Ricky.

We'll let ourselves out.

I see you Ricky, yep,

-and, -[suspenseful music]

whatever that thing is, nice to meet you too.

-[heels clacking] -Fuck you.

Drive safe. Good to see ya.

-[heels clacking] -[Danny chuckles]

Well, that was something. [chuckles] Sorry.

He had a gun. Danny.

He's my buddy Ricky from high school.

Okay. He does that shit all the time.

-It's a prank. -Cut the stupid.

He was looking for money.

Drug money. Are you back to selling pot again?

Never heard this one before.

Maybe I was, Corinne, maybe I was, maybe I wasn't.

But that was not my connect. That was Dawn's.

All right, I don't know

-what he was doing here. -Okay, great.

All right, then you know what?

Your new little career, if I see another gang banger

or a druggie, or some thug anywhere near this house,

-you are out of it- -Fine. Corinne, fine.

Okay, I'll get outta your hair again. Okay.

I've done it before.

I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, all right?

-God. -Danny.

What?

[footsteps scuffling]

-What? -[dramatic instrumental music]

Danny, I raise you, honey.

I love you.

[dramatic instrumental music]

[footsteps scuffling]

[hands thudding]

-[upbeat instrumental music] -[heels clacking]

-[Danny vocalizes] -[guitar strings twanging]

[upbeat instrumental music]

Well, you actually sound like you know what you're doing.

[guitar strings twanging]

Well when you listen to Allman Brothers

your entire life, thanks to you, Pops, yeah.

I only played the best for you.

[uplifting instrumental music]

Is Corinne here?

Yeah. Yeah, she's cooking dinner, I think.

Hmm? I didn't see her.

[uplifting instrumental music]

Probably a good thing.

[Brian sighs]

Uh, it was kind of a shitty day.

[birds chirping]

Why is that? What happened?

Those guys I told you from Boaz.

Yeah, one of them showed up.

Look, it was a misunderstanding, Dad,

but I don't think Corrine took it that way.

That figures.

[uplifting instrumental music]

[Brian sniffs] Ah.

You know, you gotta get rid of all these derelicts

and all these fools that are hanging around

and fucking up your life.

Okay, just be done with it, Danny. Okay?

I know, Dad.

That's why I'm here.

I've been wondering why you're here,

because it looks to me like you're just strumming away

on your little guitar and drinking all my wine.

[uplifting instrumental music]

Mean, I'm doing a lot of that too. All right?

But hey, I helped Corrine with her case today.

Oh, that's good. And that's progressive.

Be a detective.

You know, Danny, life is not a joke.

You got drug dealers coming after you.

-I know. -You gotta get

your life together.

I get worried about you.

I know, Pops.

[uplifting instrumental music]

As far as I'm concerned, you can stick around.

[uplifting instrumental music]

As long as you keep listening to the Allman Brothers.

Always.

-[birds chirping] -[footsteps thudding]

-[people chattering] -[footsteps thudding]

Let's take a look at this.

And there they are.

The founding fathers.

If they only knew what was happening now. [laughs]

Everybody loves to quote

or more often misquote

our founding fathers, cherry picking their words,

and looking for present day controversies.

Words like democracy and virtue.

They used to mean something else way back then.

So, does a word like wonderful.

Wonderful derives from the word wonder,

which meant to people like James Madison,

-surprise and mystery, and... -It's not the greatest one.

-It's magical. -Wonderful is

a wonderful word, as far as I'm concerned.

Do you mind taking your feet down there, son?

[students chattering]

You can take the other one down too.

I'm glad you find that funny. Thank you.

Anyway, like I said, if anybody has anything else to say

or any questions, that's about it.

You all wanna go now.

I appreciate you being here today. Thanks everyone.

[Student] We are over that same shit.

[Student] I can sort of discuss-

-You know what would strike- -Guys, come forward.

[Student] I love it-

[Student] I wanted to [indistinct].

-Hey, hey, hey. -Whatever.

-Hold that accent. -Yeah, man.

-We know that. -[students chattering]

[upbeat instrumental music]

[cellphone ringing]

[cellphone ringing continues]

[suspenseful instrumental music]

Yeah, Dawn, why are you calling me?

Do you think you can just run off with all the money?

[suspenseful instrumental music]

-[material shuffling] -[suspenseful music]

Yeah, yeah, okay.

First of all, I did not run off.

I'm at my fucking parents' house.

[suspenseful instrumental music]

I'm here for the money.

[Danny] Oh, this is my parents' house.

-I don't give a fuck. -Okay?

They have fucking neighbors.

-I don't care, Danny. -Keep your voice down.

-Fuck! I'ma- -Fuck you, get down here.

[suspenseful instrumental music]

What are you doing here, Dawn?

-[fist thuds] -[Danny grunts]

-What the fuck? Stop. -Any idea

what you just did.

-Stop. -Do you even get it?

-No, stop. -[Dawn grunts]

-Stop it. -[Dawn sighs]

-No! -Yeah.

-[Dawn shrieks] -Really, really?

-[fists thudding] -[Dawn grunts]

Stop! My parents are neighbors.

-[suspenseful music] -[Dawn panting]

My parents have neighbors.

-[suspenseful music] -I don't give a fuck!

You know my parents.

Are you gonna be cool? I'm gonna let go of you.

Yeah, I'm cool.

[suspenseful instrumental music]

-Okay. -[hand smacks]

Ah, fuck, shit!

-Fuck! -[footsteps scuffling]

[grunts] That was not cool.

Not cool, Dawn.

What the fuck?

[Dawn panting]

How did you even find me?

Because we drove past your parents' house

on the way down to Boaz, remember?

And plus, you're an idiot.

I traced your phone to like a block from here.

-[car engine whirring] -Fuck!

Lemme tell you something, Danny. Okay?

Nobody gives up on me, all right? Nobody.

-[birds chirping] -[grass rustling]

[Dawn panting]

-[Dawn exhales loudly] -Yeah, Dawn,

even if they catch you in bed with their boss?

[Dawn grunts]

I already told you, okay. He made me do that.

That's right, I remember seeing that gun

that was, [chuckles] that was on your head.

I remember that.

No, he didn't have a gun to my head,

but I was just a kid when I met Calvin, okay.

You don't understand. I had nothing.

So, what? What does that even matter?

So, you don't get what it's like to have nothing.

And then somebody comes along

and they give you a little something,

and then they give you a little something more.

And then before you know it,

they're reminding you how much you owe them.

[dramatic instrumental music]

It didn't mean anything.

I thought that we had something.

I thought we found something special.

We did.

We did.

Okay, but, [sighs]

when you want something,

finding it is not what's hard.

It's learning to take care of it.

We just, we gotta get better at taking care of us.

So, that whole thing was Calvin, that didn't-

That wasn't like revenge.

That wasn't payback for me and Joni?

That's her name?

I don't wanna hear about your stupid cunt slut.

Don't even say her name.

Okay? I don't wanna hear it.

Okay. I'm sorry. That was stupid.

-That was, -[Dawn sighs]

that was dumb.

I'm sorry.

This a nice place. Huh?

[sighs] Okay. Yeah.

Well, it's not the way I wanted you to see it

for the first time.

-[uplifting instrumental music] -[birds chirping]

Fuck, Dawn. We can't keep doing this.

[uplifting instrumental music]

I can't keep letting you treat me like this, all right?

I've never felt like this about anyone,

and I don't know how to process it, okay?

I'm doing my best here, but I'm not good at it.

-[uplifting instrumental music] -[birds chirping]

[footsteps scuffling]

What happened with Calvin

is never gonna happen again, okay?

I give you my word. All right?

I didn't give you my word before. I give it to you now.

Yeah. It's really convenient now.

Convenient?

I just drove 300 miles up here in my beater car.

What about that says convenient to you?

-Nothing really. -Okay.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

[birds chirping]

I'm sorry, all right? I'm sorry.

Don't be mad, baby.

[uplifting instrumental music]

I'm sorry, too. Just... [sighs]

Miss me?

Yeah, I missed you.

-Yeah? -The fuck?

I don't even wanna be here.

-I missed you too. -[birds chirping]

[door lock clicks]

Hi. You wanna see me?

Yes, yes. Come in.

-[material shuffling] -[door handle clicks]

Have a seat.

Alrighty. Feels ominous.

[chuckles] No, don't worry.

Take a seat. I like your boots.

[chuckles]

[sighs] So, Brian?

-Yeah, mm. -You've been here,

what, 20 years?

Something like that?

[sniffs] Something like that, yeah.

SCU has been like a home,

like a real family to you.

Wouldn't you say?

Ah, I'd like it here.

It's not Ivy League,

but most of the students come here to learn.

It seems that way.

And there's a certain family atmosphere in here,

and I like that, yeah.

And that's great, Bri.

But as you know, this university, like so many others,

is facing a very challenging financial situation.

Declining enrollments, higher costs,

even an overly large faculty.

And you're looking to cut those costs, aren't you?

I'd be lying if I said otherwise.

[dramatic instrumental music]

To cut to the chase, we would like to offer you

a new opportunity, a generous financial package

that allows you to move into the next phase of your life.

I think what we're really getting at is early retirement.

Am I close there?

You could call it that, I guess.

Oh, I am calling it that. I'm not ready for that.

[dramatic instrumental music]

I think what you're trying to do is

you're trying to present me with a buyout package,

just so I can get the fuck out of here.

Ooh, oh, don't see any need for vulgarity.

Well, of course you don't because you're not the one

who's being asked to leave.

Janice.

Professor Fenton, let's be real.

Considering your issues in the classroom

and the downturn in your research productivity,

-Mm. -you might wanna look

at this opportunity as a good thing for you.

You get two years at half pay with no obligation

to the university, except to teach one class a semester,

but no research or service work, and then you're free.

Can't beat that.

You know, that's like half the pay that I would get

as a night manager at Jack in the Box.

So, why would I wanna do something like that?

I think you could do much better than that, don't you?

Not in this economy, Brian. And not at your age.

[somber instrumental music]

-Oh, you okay. -Well, gives us

something to think about, hmm.

-[material shuffling] -[footsteps scuffling]

[Brian] Yeah, it kind of does.

Of course, if you decide to turn us down,

life here could get considerably less comfortable.

-Oh. -I hope you understand that.

[footsteps thudding]

You can go fuck yourself.

-[upbeat instrumental music] -[door handle clicks]

[upbeat instrumental music]

-[door hand clicks] -[upbeat instrumental music]

-[birds chirping] -[upbeat instrumental music]

-[birds chirping] -[upbeat instrumental music]

-[birds chirping] -[upbeat instrumental music]

[wine pouring]

Jesus. [chuckles] Okay, you won.

-No. -Maybe.

-Oh. -Oh, shit.

[Brian] Hey. [laughs]

-Dad, -[Brian laughs]

Hi, Dad, did not know you were home, Pops.

-I'm home. -[Dawn chuckles]

This is John the love of my life.

-His room, hi. -Hi.

-Nice to meet you, Dad. -You can call me Brian.

-Okay. -Okay.

Um...

Nice we finally meet.

Mm-hmm, no, it's a pleasure, mm.

Sure, listen, let's get to the point.

-Okay? -Yeah.

Um, last time I heard from big shot over here,

he was running away from Boaz

and some people were chasing him,

and some money went missing,

and all of a sudden, here you are,

-and everything's copacetic. -[Dawn chuckles]

-[laughs] Yeah. -Yeah.

What's copacetic?

-It means all good. -Yeah.

-Well, Brian, -We're good.

I'm sure you can understand

just how complicated love can be.

Yeah, there's pains, Dad. Okay, they do...

Everybody goes through 'em, and we move through them,

and here we are.

-[Dawn chuckles] -[Danny laughs]

-Yeah we moved past it. -Mm-hmm.

I get it. I get it.

That's why I'm drinking.

[Dawn laughs]

Pops, you've been hitting the wine

a little hard lately, man.

What's,

what's,

-what's that all about? -Uh,

yeah, I'm stressed out, you know?

Ahem, it helps.

Is this stress maybe from the college

trying to kick you out?

Or you gotta, Dad, you gotta stand up

for what you believe in, man.

Listen, the only reason that you should ever

be leaving that college is that if you got

something right there in your heart,

telling you that you gotta go,

that you wanna do something else,

that you don't just leave because of them.

It's not always about the heart, Danny.

Sometimes it's about hope and money.

Oh, Dad, you have no hope now either? Okay.

Oh my God.

I know all about money, Pops, but hope.

All right. Hope is-

Go ahead, babe. What were you gonna say?

-I'm not sure. -Okay.

-You should take it. -I'll take it from here.

Hey, Brian, I know that you're probably looking at us

and you're thinking, well, where's the hope here?

[cork squeezes]

But I will say, you don't see us walking away.

No.

Exactly. Thank you.

Thank you. Dawn, God, I love you.

See, I wanted to punch her in the face last week now-

-Danny? -I'm just saying like,

I've, I don't even know why,

but I've had like a change of mindset.

Dad, I look at her and I see a lot of me. Okay?

She's got, you got fight. We have fight.

And without fight. What's the fucking point, Dad?

That's what you need to do.

You need to pull your bootstraps up, Dad. Okay?

'Cause I can tell you who would not

put up with this, this shit.

Grandpa, that's who.

You know it, Dad.

-Okay. -No, no,

-no, no, no, no, no. -What are you doing?

-What? -[Dawn grunts]

There may be something I didn't tell you.

-[upbeat instrumental music] -[footsteps thudding]

-Pop, hold that thought. -Shit, shit, shit.

Dawn, Dawn, goddammit. Goddammit Dawn.

-[sliding door screeching] -Fucker, Calvin,

what are you doing here?

I came here to get you.

I told you not to come here.

I thought you were in fucking danger.

Oh, danger, really, Calvin?

-[upbeat instrumental music] -[footsteps scuffling]

[metal scraping]

I came here for two things.

My fucking money and you, Dawn.

Well, I got your fucking money.

Hey, you ain't getting

-neither one of those things, -Oh.

-So get the- -Oh, okay.

Get back in

-your fucking car. -Okay, little bitch boy

-and his knife, huh. -Get your little ass

back to Boaz.

-Trying to go back to Boaz, -Will you fight,

-where you came from. -like a real fucking man

-and put that away. -You and Dawn are done.

-We're done? -Okay? Yeah.

We're not done.

Put your little bitch knife away

and fight me like a real man.

Danny, Danny, it's so messy, baby.

-Huh, that's right. -It's not worth it.

-It's, no? -It's not, it's not worth it.

-It's not. No. -It's not.

-Dawn, you coming with me. -Oh!

-Whoa! -You better back it up.

Is this what's going on?

You crawling back to this little fucking

-bitch ass mother fucker. -I don't like figures-

-We're working things out. -[Danny grunts]

-Babe, stop! -Okay?

-Working it out. -Yeah, we're working it out.

Working it out. We're fucking working it out now?

-Yeah. -I'm tired of it.

-Okay. -[fist thuds]

[Calvin moans]

-Woo-hoo, oh... -Calvin, I said

go back to Boaz, where you, whoop.

-Mother... -Okay, all right.

-Come on. Come on big boy. -Okay, mother fucker.

-What you got? -Come on.

This is what I do.

-Can you shut up. -Shut your...

[fist thuds]

Mother fucker!

-What you got? -I'm gonna fuck you up, dude.

-Are you? Come on. -Get him, babe.

-Let's do this, babe. -I'm gonna fuck you up.

-You know I'm good, -Yeah!

-At two things, baby, -Yeah, get him!

-Three things. -Come here.

-[Calvin grunts] -[Dawn shrieks]

[water splashing]

Whoa!

-Fucker! -How's it feel, Cal?

Hey, hey, hey, Danny.

Stop, stop, stop, stop.

-Get outta my pool. -He might be strong,

-but I got it. -Get outta

-my yard. -Pop, it's okay.

There's no fighting around here, goddammit.

-[water splashing] -[upbeat instrumental music]

-Yeah. -You got it, baby.

-You got it. -Get out!

-Look like a wet dog. -[water splashing]

Get outta here. Come on, get out.

-Get the fuck out. -[upbeat instrumental music]

[footsteps thudding]

This ain't over asshole.

-Oh my God. -Yes, it is.

-Take a big long walk, -Come on.

-Back to Boaz. -Go, go.

You're a fucking hussy.

-No more fighting. -You're not fucking

-worth it. -You're not

-fucking worth this. -You're a fucking hussy.

-Get out! -Get out!

-You're a fucking hussy. -I'm not gonna tell you

-again buddy, get out. -Fuck you, Cal.

You're not even worth it.

Get the fuck out.

-You sucked in bed. -That's enough.

-Come on. -Okay.

-[water splashing] -[upbeat instrumental music]

-Yeah. -[heels clacking]

Oh, hey.

-God! -Mm.

[heels clacking]

This must be Dawn.

-Sure is. -Mm-hmm.

-Nice to meet you. -Mm.

I bet you weren't counting on all these visitors, huh?

I wouldn't call y'all visitors.

[crickets chirping]

[material shuffling]

Well, Danny and I are gonna be heading back

to Boaz pretty soon, right, baby?

-Yeah. -Oh.

-[Brian grunts] -[wind swooshing]

Uh, Corrine, how's the love triangle?

Uh, you mean my court case?

-Yeah. -Well, to be honest,

the prosecutor pretty much beat us up.

Kind of picked apart our new key suspect.

You know the card-playing alibi guy.

Yeah, well, apparently he's worth over a million dollars.

So, why would he even care about a mere 33 grand,

the wife's life insurance money?

That's exactly why.

-Hmm? -He's loaded.

He's loaded. Rich people don't care about money.

He probably got into it with his buddy Jack for fun.

His buddy took it too far and he got in over his head.

Think like a criminal, Corinne.

It works. Trust me.

-[Brian chuckles] -[Corrine chuckles]

I didn't think about that.

Thank you, Danny.

You're so smart. You should be a lawyer, babe.

-Yeah, fucking know it. -Don't you think, Brian?

You know, I'd look good in a three-piece suit, Pops.

Oh my God. You'd be so hot in a three-piece suit.

It would be really hot, actually.

[Dawn laughs]

Like really hot.

Would you hold me in contempt?

-[cellphone buzzing] -Order in the court?

[Dawn] [laughs] So, hot.

[cellphone buzzing]

You could come home and tell me all about your court cases

and how hard your day's been.

-Oh my God, yes. -With your briefcase.

[Danny] I will definitely have the nicest briefcase ever.

[Dawn] Yeah, we'll get you

-a real nice briefcase. -Can I get a custom one?

[Dawn] Of course, it'll have your initials on it

-and mine too. -I could totally be

-a lawyer. -Yes.

-You might be on to- -Shut up!

-[finger scraping] -[dramatic instrumental music]

-[dramatic instrumental music] -[material shuffling]

-[footsteps thudding] -[dramatic instrumental music]

-[material shuffling] -[dramatic instrumental music]

[footsteps thudding]

Hey, Claire. Sorry I missed your call.

No, everything's okay.

I just wanted to call you and tell you that your dad,

he did fall again last night

and he hit his head kinda hard.

He's okay, I mean, he's conscious,

and he, [sighs] he says he's fine,

but then he always says he's fine.

But, you know, uh, all day he seems a little disoriented.

And he's been having a little trouble

getting outta bed this morning.

And, [sighs] well,

for the first time, he...

For the first time, what?

Well, I,

I don't think he,

I'm not sure if he recognized me.

I'm so sorry, Claire. What can I do to help him?

So, I was just, you know, I was just,

I just don't know how much longer I can do it.

And I was just wondering if,

you know, if you boys could help.

Hey, look Claire.

I'm gonna come down there. All right.

I'm gonna come straight down there and we'll all be together

and we'll try to make a plan.

We'll take one thing at a time,

and see how it goes.

Oh, thank you Brian.

You know, you always know to do the right thing.

I'm gonna fly in tomorrow,

and please tell my dad I said I love him.

[material shuffling]

-I will. -[footsteps thudding]

[upbeat instrumental music]

[upbeat instrumental music continues]

-[airplane engines whirring] -[upbeat instrumental music]

[upbeat instrumental music continues]

[airplane engines whirring]

[upbeat instrumental music]

Looks like real estate's doing pretty good for you, Jeff.

Thanks, honey. Yeah, life is good.

I want you to know, I'll put your dad and Claire

on all our prayer list.

That gives me a lot of comfort. Thank you.

Lord, Pops. Just can't say enough about you.

He's sure proud of you.

Hey, you work hard you make money.

Well, I guess I missed that life lesson.

You know, I'm just saying.

Mm, can you say whether or not

you come to visit tomorrow?

Well, I'll try, but I got a few showings

I can't really get out of, so.

Really, well, you can't get someone else

to go show a few houses,

and find enough time to go see Pops?

Look Bri, I've been a local go-to son around here

for years now,

last thing I need is a lecture on sacrifice

and spend time with Dad.

Gonna loan you one of our cars,

and you can go on over there.

And when my schedule loosens up,

I'll be there.

[speaker indistinct]

Okay, handsome.

-Yeah. -Make up your mind.

All right?

-[footsteps thudding] -[people chattering]

-[dog barks] -[object rattling]

-Get them off! -Stop!

-Get 'em off! -Robert, your clothes,

-off! -Get off me.

-No, wait, no wait. -[material shuffling]

-Wait, no! -Get! Get away!

-Take them off. -No, I don't care.

-Take them off. -You wanna hit me,

-hit me. -Take them off of me.

[Robert grunts]

-Oh, Robert. -Dad.

Dad, what is going on?

-See Brian, -Put your clothes on.

-He's just backwards. -I'm going to put

-the clothes on. -[dramatic instrumental music]

-Dad, Daddy. -This is just your son.

-He's come to visit. -We can go and see the boat.

-Here, put this on. -Put your clothes on, Pop.

[sighs] Pop, what are you doing?

-Mm? -[material shuffling]

I'm not, what are you doing, Dad?

Dad, what are you doing? [cries]

[somber instrumental music]

-Come on. -Oh my God, Dad.

What are you doing? [cries]

Oh my God, Pops.

-Let's see. -[Brian grunts]

Oh, here's your chocolate.

Your mother spoiled you.

-Open the box. -Nah.

She did everything for you.

Maybe that's why you're so goddam lazy.

-Huh? -He doesn't-

He doesn't know what he's saying.

-Doesn't mean it. -Jeff's not lazy.

-You're right. -Look what he brought you.

[somber instrumental music]

Uh-huh, I think that's chocolate.

These are chocolates, yeah.

[paper shuffling]

Oh. [laughs]

Ooh. Dark chocolate.

-Yeah. [moans] -Yeah.

[Claire laughs]

We come.

-Mm. -Mm.

-Mm. -Good.

-[material shuffling] -[cutlery clinking]

Mm, come on. Just one little bite.

-No. -Are you sure?

[cutlery clinking]

-All right. -Hey Dad, listen.

Have you ever thought about, I don't know

how to say it, like an assisted-living kind of place.

Have you ever thought about that?

You wanna put me in some,

some damn nursing home?

-Huh? -No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

-Huh? You wanna put me... -No, no, no, no, no-

[cries] I'm not saying that.

I'm saying it's a safe...

There are some places that are very safe

and you'll be looked after.

[hand thuds]

-I'm not gonna put you, -[hand thuds]

-No, no! -In a box somewhere.

-Hold on to you? -No!

I'm not putting you

-in there. -No!

-I rather- -Goddammit, Dad.

-I rather be dead. -I understand.

[hands thudding]

[Brian grunts]

[cutlery clattering]

[sighs] How about some dessert?

Okay.

[uplifting instrumental music]

[snack crunches]

[people speaking in foreign language]

Your visits really do cheer him up.

You sure about that?

Yeah. [laughs] Oh, my God. [laughs]

-[Claire sniffs] -Okay.

He's really going downhill. Okay.

-You think so? -How often does he

even know who you are?

He thinks I'm Jeff.

[scoffs] I don't wanna put him in a home

that isn't his own.

Even if I were to visit him every day,

I just,

[person speaks in foreign language]

He's the love of my life and I owe him my life.

I owe him my devotion. We made a pact.

All that matters is, you know, what I'm supposed to do,

and what I wanna do.

[somber instrumental music]

[person speaks in foreign language]

[hand taps]

So, you wanna leave things the way they are

and maybe bring in some home care people.

Oh, you know how he hates people he doesn't know.

We can't deal with those kind of people. No.

[person speaks in foreign language]

Whatever we do, I wanna do it.

I wanna do it with love.

-Okay? -Okay. Sure.

And because of all the,

you know, the fighting and the arguing,

and you know, you came in and you saw that

and how I react to it sometimes.

That has nothing to do with love.

[people speaking in foreign language]

What is that movie anyway?

-He loves it. -That the same movie

-with John Wayne? -The same one

-[Claire chuckles] -He seen it a 100 times.

[person speaking in foreign language]

What movie is that?

"Fort Apache," 1948.

[person speaking in foreign language]

Mm.

-[Brian chuckles] -[Claire chuckles]

[Brian] Hey, okay.

[hoof thudding]

[footsteps thudding]

What is it now?

Ricky Baker.

Dawn, he better not be coming back here.

No, I don't think he is.

But he broke into my little sister's apartment.

He took her TV.

What the fuck? Dawn what?

Okay, help me out here.

You're involved with that shithead too.

I'm not, but most of that was Calvin's drug money,

including all the money you owe him.

That was his shit you were selling.

They want their money, Danny.

[Danny] What are we gonna do?

Well, one thing we don't do

is go back to Boaz anytime soon.

Oh, okay, yeah, super simple. Yeah, sure.

Where are we gonna go?

Hmm? It's not so bad around here.

[material shuffling]

Are you serious?

Are you talking about staying here?

No, Dawn, you literally just told them you're leaving,

literally announced it that we are going today.

I know, I know what I said,

but things change, honey bunny.

-[Danny sighs] -Trust me. Okay.

-[lips smacking] -Okay.

Well, you're dealing with her.

Okay.

[material shuffling]

Good morning, Corinne.

Uh, how'd you sleep?

-Oh, like a baby. -Aw. [chuckles]

You shit your pants

and you woke up every two hours screaming

'cause you're hungry?

-Uh! -[cloth smacks]

-Jamie. -Okay.

-Uh! -What, there's

nothing wrong with a smile in the morning.

-[Dawn chuckles] -Please.

He's so silly.

So, Corinne, we were wondering if maybe it'd be possible

for us to stick around just a tad longer.

I just, I've seen what you and Brian are going through,

and we don't believe in walking out on family

in the middle of a crisis.

Yeah. That is so sweet of you.

But I think it's best we just, you know, stick to the plan,

you know, for all of us.

Yeah, no, I totally hear you on that.

I just think, you know, we don't really wanna abandon you

during this difficult time.

We should probably just stick together

as a family, you know.

-Okay. -So, what's for breakfast?

-What? -Scratch my back.

-What you're doing? -Scratch my back.

-Oh, come on. -Scratch my back.

All right, all right,

-all right. -Harder.

-You, is that hard enough? -Move to the right,

To the right, to the right.

-Harder? -Scratch my back.

-You- -Scratch my bowl.

-Hey, Brian. -[Brian sighs]

-Hi. -Huh, is that good?

How'd you sleep, Dad?

[nails scraping]

-[Robert sighs] -[nails scraping]

How'd you sleep?

-Is that good? -Are you my doctor?

-No. -I just asked you

how you slept.

-You slept well? -Who's this guy?

[Claire chuckles]

-Huh? -This is your son.

-This is your son, Brian. -Who is this guy?

-Your son, Brian. -Brian?

-[hand smacks] -How did you sleep?

I didn't sleep at all.

[Robert] He looks different.

[cutlery clinking]

Okay, now listen, we gotta get you breakfast

and then we're gonna go in the bottom.

-Now we go- -He's there?

Yeah, and we're gonna go to the doctor's

and we're gonna get your physical tests, okay?

[Brian] Okay. Sounds great.

You need that egg to crack his eggs for me.

Oh, I forgot Jeff called.

-I hope Jeff comes. -He's coming for dinner.

-[hands thuds] -I know, Pop.

-Jeff's my boy. -Good for you.

-Yeah. -Muah.

You're a teacher.

You gotta, yeah.

All right. I'm going to the doctor.

Oh God.[cries]

Help me, Jesus Christ. My God please help me.

-[Robert cries] -Oh God.

Oh. [cries]

Oh!

[hand taps]

[Robert panting]

Dad, I'm here.

-[Robert cries] -Dad. It's okay.

-[Robert clears his throat] -It's okay, Pop.

I'm here.

It's me, it's Brian.

-Brian? -Yeah.

[somber instrumental music]

-My boy. -Don't be sad. [chuckles]

-Please. -[dog barks]

[footsteps clacking]

-I love you. -[dog barks]

-I love you dad. -[somber instrumental music]

-Really? -Yeah, [chuckles]

Oh, I really do.

-I'm sorry. -[Brian cries]

You don't have to be sorry,

forget that.

-Don't have to be sorry, -Yeah.

-For a phone call. -Yeah.

[chuckles] You are my boy too.

[Brian] Goddam right.

Yeah.

-[car engine whirring] -Call Brian.

[car engine whirring]

[cellphone ringing]

-Hello. -Hey, bud.

Why haven't I heard from you?

Well, if you were up here with me, you'd already know.

No need for sarcasm.

-How's he doing? -I don't know, Jeff.

So, much anger, not just at me,

who he doesn't even recognize anymore.

But he is also angry with Claire.

-Try and hit you? -[car engine whirring]

No, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Yesterday sitting in a wheelchair, completely naked,

screaming and yelling at Claire and swinging at her.

I picked up his clothes off the ground.

I was trying to, I was,

I've never seen anything like that, Jeff.

The doctor said it's just dementia,

that the neurons or whatever in his brain are all misfiring.

It's a really sad way to go out.

Well, he's not going yet.

Well, you gotta admit it's a shell of a man

that was our father.

Claire says, you're coming over for dinner,

so make it happen, okay?

Yeah, all right. I'll do my best.

-Yeah, -[Claire sighs]

I know why you both are here.

Yeah, but it's about you too, Claire.

We don't want dad to do you any harm,

emotionally or physically.

I agree 100% with Jeff.

We need to explore other opportunities.

Yeah, but what's that other option gonna be?

Assisted living.

It's the only option we got, a home.

I went through that with him earlier today.

We had a big shout down and he's not gonna do it.

Okay, I see. This is selfish Brian talking, right.

It's easier for you to think

that dad's at home with his sweetheart.

So, you feel less guilty.

-Jeff. -But, you know what?

No, no, no. Hold on.

But it's, [chuckles] it's harder on him.

It's harder on Claire. It's harder on myself.

It's harder on basically everybody else.

You sound like a jerk. You sound like an asshole.

No, wait, wait, wait.

-I know, wait, wait. -I brought it up to him.

-Wait. -I brought it up to him.

I know what you're both trying to do, honestly.

And your dad would really appreciate it.

-He would. -I...

But, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[somber instrumental music]

You know, I think I hear you, dad. I'm just gonna...

No, I will, I will.

I'll go check it up. I'll do it.

Thanks, thanks, Bri.

I know, I know there's no easy answers, Jeff. Come on.

this is what's gonna happen, me and Dawn,

we're gonna get in the car and drive to Juniper

and meet you, okay?

Corinne's gonna take a flight.

[sighs] We need to get started now.

Okay? But the service is a few days away.

It's the grieving process, Dad. Okay?

You don't rush that.

Okay? I love you.

Yeah, love you too.

Well, I do what I want. So, does Danny.

[upbeat instrumental music]

[car engine whirring]

Uh, what the fuck was that?

Why you still talking to him?

[car engine whirring]

Calvin said he's gonna have us killed

if we don't give him the money we owe him.

Oh, Calvin said he's gonna have us killed.

Fuck Calvin, Dawn.

You know Texas ain't looking so bad.

Maybe we just stick around for a bit, let things settle.

How about no.

No. What are you even talking about?

You're talking about hiding, running. Running to Texas.

We're gonna move? Boaz is our home, Dawn.

We're not fucking leaving.

Danny, he will kill us.

[car engine whirring]

Okay, well, he can try,

but maybe, no, that's not who I am.

[car engine whirring]

Well then we need a plan.

Okay, now, I know you're crazy

because when's the last time

that Dawn and Danny had a fucking plan?

[car engine whirring]

We've never had a plan.

You're crazy.

-That's damn right. -And I love you. [laughs]

Hey, I'm sorry about your grandpa.

[upbeat instrumental music]

Yes, Frank, thanks for making trip.

How was your flight?

How was your flight?

-Was okay. -It was okay.

Yeah. No, I'm, you know, we're here.

You know Brian.

-Hey, Brian. -Robert's son, Brian.

-How are you? -He's my brother, Frank.

-I'm so sorry, -Frank.

-For your loss. -Thank you.

I'm glad you came.

Claire, my condolences.

-This is my brother, Frank. -It's nice to meet you.

-Thank you for the honors. -Brian,

it's good to see you again.

My condolences for your loss.

-Thank you. -Your father was

a pillar in this community.

-Yeah, he was. -Not just the church,

as Claire knows, he was so important to us.

But also the community, as you can see with

all the people who've turned out.

But rest assured that we'll be looking out for Claire

-as part of the flock. -Thank you.

Brian, could you do me a favor,

I'll go with you if you want, Pops.

Yeah, let's get out of here.

-[uplifting instrumental music] -[wind swooshing]

You know, all of this used to be farmland and prairie.

There was nothing here back in the '60s.

-This? -When my Pops was here,

was nothing here.

Can't even imagine that.

Was it tough growing up with grandpa?

Yeah, it was kinda like boot camp. [laughs]

-[Danny chuckles] -Making us get up

and run every morning,

-I can totally see that. -a couple of miles, yeah.

[uplifting instrumental music]

It was his way or the highway.

His rules.

-That was it. -[uplifting instrumental music]

Well, all these years dealing with your dad.

I think she's probably pretty prepared for this.

Yeah.

-[fridge door thuds] -Oh, by the way,

Pat Jensen called the house.

What the hell for is he fucking calling my house.

Well, he heard about you flying down here for your dad,

and he wanted to make sure that you had

your classes covered.

I texted Gillian about the whole thing.

-Okay. -Did he have

anything else to say?

Oh, just, you know, he can't have faculty wandering off.

Ah, God, I hate that little bastard.

I know. He's-

-What an asshole. -He's a bit much.

-Give me some candy. -I got you.

So, how do you both like Texas?

Texas is amazing.

Of course we do, darling. It's Texas, ain't it?

-Texas is the best place, -Where's

-your child? -In the world for me, yes.

-Exactly. -No way.

-Can I ask you why? -That's good 'cause-

-No man. -Perfect.

[Jeff] Tell me about it.

-Yes. -Yep.

-Oh, you've never been. -No.

-Well, like no. -You know,

I want y'all to know that,

sorry to interrupt, but I've decided to sell the lake house.

-Excuse me. -Mm-hmm, yeah.

We haven't been there for a few years

and I've been told that

we can get about a half a million for it.

I can get you more than that. Well, who's your agent?

Uh, let me think, you.

-Praise the Lord. -I, okay.

I see what you did there.

-[chuckles] And also, -She playing me there.

Your dad wanted me

to split the proceeds with just you two boys.

[chair creaks]

-Sounds fair to me. -[Claire laughs]

[birds chirping]

-Oh God. -How about a glass of wine?

I found your favorite Pinot.

[glass clinks]

I don't think so.

Look at all this, okay.

Now, mom was finishing at the university.

He was in the Navy and he was writing all these letters.

-Let me see this. -[paper shuffling]

"Dear Marjorie, I know we're supposed to stay focused

on the task at hand,

I'm in charge of mapping terrain from the air,

but sometimes my mind wanders

to a certain brown-eyed young lady

who always brings a smile to my face.

All that time in the lab,

do you ever look up from your beakers and microscope

"and wonder what kind of chemistry we have?"

-[chuckles] That's- -Oh, that's amazing.

It's corny. It's so corny, right?

You know what else is amazing?

What's that?

You have never turned down a glass of wine

in our life together.

-Is that true? -Mm-hmm.

Well, I don't know.

I'm just not right in the mood for it.

This is his journal from Mexico.

He was working with the Indians back in the '60s.

Look at that.

All the stuff he saw and all the things that he did

when he was down there.

What the hell am I supposed to make of all this? Huh?

I mean, you know, it's like I discovered

like a whole new dimension of the man.

[sighs] I bet you'd love to talk to him now.

Claire calls him "Mr. Wonderful."

Why do you suppose he kept

all this better man stuff away from all of us?

Mm.

It's like all these love letters and this big heart

he kept secret from mom.

Why did Marjorie even leave him?

Well, you know, mom fell in love with him

when he had that Navy uniform on.

And then, you know, they came back here

and everything was supposed to be happily ever after.

It's just young love and it didn't last.

What about us? What if you forget who I am?

I doubt it, honey.

I can barely make it through a day without you.

-[Corrine chuckles] -[Brian chuckles]

Mm. [lips smacking]

[somber instrumental music]

[material shuffling]

All right. How's that?

You look great.

Like a son who's about to honor his father.

Okay.

-Thank you. -[birds chirping]

Brian, is there anything in particular

you'd like me to say about your father today?

Um, I can handle that.

-Very well. -[birds chirping]

Good to see you.

[birds chirping]

My condolences.

[birds chirping]

[footsteps thudding]

[birds chirping]

[birds chirping continues]

Good afternoon.

We're gathering here to grieve the passing

of a good man, Dr. Robert Fenton.

And to witness to our faith,

but yet celebrate his life.

I can't help but chuckle as I reflect

upon my own relationship with Doc,

that he had a nagging doubt about ministers

of God such as myself.

[chuckles] That being said,

with all fairness, he held himself

to the same exacting standards as he did someone like me.

[birds chirping]

I can recall fondly

a conversation with him after a particular service

where old Doc came up to me and said,

"Pastor, you speak of the afterlife

as if you've given up on this life we live here today."

[birds chirping]

And I've gotta tell you, friend, it doesn't give inspiration

or competence to those of us trying

to make good in this messed up world that we live in.

And for those of you who knew him,

you know he didn't use the word "messed up."

[Claire chuckles]

Doc was a husband,

father, friend.

And we can take comfort that his suffering has ended.

[birds chirping]

But let's also celebrate,

enjoy the fact that he is making

swift passage to paradise.

I'd like to open it up now to anyone who may have some words

of honor to offer this wonderful man.

[birds chirping]

I think I will. [sighs]

Please, Brian.

-[birds chirping] -[footsteps scuffling]

-[birds chirping] -[somber instrumental music]

-[paper shuffles] -[somber instrumental music]

[hands thudding]

Well, I look out at all of you

and I see so many people that he treated,

and healed and even delivered as babies, and,

[object taps]

And yes, there were patients that he lost, and,

now he's lost to us and we're all sad,

-and, -[birds chirping]

our ministers tell us that in death

we fall into God's hands, which provides release

from all anger and sorrow.

My father hoped this world would be true,

but faith has a hard sell to this man of science.

[somber instrumental music]

And as I stand over his body today, it is hard for me.

[somber instrumental music]

It is hard for Jeff,

[somber instrumental music]

And most of all for my father's beloved wife, Claire.

[somber instrumental music]

But now we must somehow turn his

powerful living presence into a memory.

But who's ever really ready for that?

I'm a historian.

I ideal and memories, making judgements about the dead.

But I'm not ready to judge the history of Robert Fenton.

And I wonder if ever really truly knew him at all.

[somber instrumental music]

He did keep big parts of himself inside.

But I did learn a big lesson from that.

And I have to say, so if I didn't,

why my father kept him,

such things [sighs]

to himself and wait for me, I'll never know.

But in so doing, I've learned not to turn my back on people

that have loved me and care for me.

[somber instrumental music]

-[Brian grunts] -[birds chirping]

My father did not die.

He escaped.

-[somber instrumental music] -[birds chirping]

That's amazing.

You're hurting,

-that's all right. -My son

-has something to say. -[somber instrumental music]

You know, he's right, uh.

He's right, you know?

Nobody's ever ready for this. Uh.

[somber instrumental music]

Okay. Yeah, I don't know guys.

You guys all know me.

I love this man.

Even though I didn't get to spend a lot of time

with him at the end, I regret that.

Uh, but you guys stand up here and you talk about,

you know, the afterlife and the paradise,

and what the fuck. [chuckles]

You don't know where they go. You don't know where you go.

Nobody knows this.

Do you know? No.

You don't know where it goes.

Nobody knows. Okay.

It's a spiritual journey, right, Rev?

[somber instrumental music]

[sighs] I just, I'd wanna know,

did you guys ever think about,

while you're sitting here singing "Kumbaya"

about how good your God is,

and you know where Grandpa's going.

Yeah.

What kind of God

would take a wonderful man?

Somebody who saved lives,

took care of people his whole life?

What kind of God would take a man like that

and peel him away?

-[somber instrumental music] -[birds chirping]

[sniffs] Peel him away.

He can't even take care of himself.

He shit his pants.

-Ahem. -Tell me that.

Can anybody answer that question?

Because I don't fucking see it.

Son, son, this is very disrespectful.

-I've- -Who is it disrespectful?

-The disrespectful from you. -Hey,

-Disrespect. -No, no, no, no.

-That's disrespect, Reverend. -Stay outta it.

Okay, that is enough, Danny.

It's time for you to be done talking

and come stand over here.

Oh, 'cause I believe something other,

I'm not allowed to talk 'cause I'm Danny, Uncle Jeff.

Is that right? Is that what's going down?

-It's going down Danny, -Okay.

Because that's what we all believe.

[Danny] Okay, so, I have to keep my mouth shut.

-That's right? -Is that-

That's right Danny. That's what's right.

'Cause we're doing all,

you're ruining everything

-right in front of the Lord. -Why is it so wrong

-that I'm gonna speak my mind? -The problem is

your mind is full of atheist crap.

-All right, Jeff. -So shut the fuck down.

-Look, Jeff! -Can we get back

-to the service please. -It doesn't

look like it's sweetheart.

-Look- -Hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

-He is not the problem. -Try that, Jeff.

It's your son that is outta place here.

-You're the problem, -What's so wrong,

-as I see it. -that I can speak my mind.

-I'm the problem? -Yeah. Huh?

He's making a disgrace outta Daddy's funeral.

-You paying attention? -You making a mockery

-outta yourself. -Sorry. Sorry, Uncle Jeff.

-Sorry that I did- -I see what this is.

This is what you taught him, right?

-Yeah. -What is this?

Something like father,

-like son. -Okay, so, just because-

You're a fucking embarrassment

You're a mother fucker about that.

-[hand smacks] -You were never

-for Dad like... -[every screaming]

-Jeff, Jeff! -Yeah!

Jeff, stop it, get off me.

Darn it, stop it.

-[person grunts] -Jeff!

-Listen kid. -Stop it!

-Get off me. -Stop it!

-Jeff! -Man, do it!

-[head thuds] -[Jeff groans]

[Claire shrieks]

-That's crazy. -Stop it!

-Jeff! -I told you.

-You, why? -I didn't wanna do it.

[birds chirping]

[Danny] Look what you, hey, listen,

-listen. -Stop fighting!

-Uncle Jeff? -Huh?

We're family.

-Stop it. -Yes, I know.

-I tried- -Get up.

-[Brian laughs] -Okay.

We're all hurting.

We all hurt a different way

and Kevin have to be your way.

-Let me look at you. -Oh, baby, are you okay?

-I have insurance. -Jeff?

[grunts] Thank you all for coming,

but this service is over.

[birds chirping]

-[Danny sighs] -Yeah, that's okay.

-[Danny sighs] -Let's see.

Oh, shit.

Hey, Pop.

Reverend, I'm sorry about that.

-Oh, just... -[upbeat instrumental music]

-You okay? -Yeah.

Where to now Danny Boy?

[car engine whirring]

-I was, -[car engine whirring]

I was thinking about this new place called Boaz.

[Dawn] Boaz? What about all that money we owe?

Ain't gotta worry about Calvin's money, baby.

What are you talking about?

Baby!

Well, I'm talking about a little, little something.

Oh, just a little something, something.

You don't have to worry about Calvin.

Where did you get this?

-Grandma Claire. -How the hell

did you get your grandma to give you all this money?

Whoa.

I was the only grand kid who showed up

to Grandpa's funeral, so.

All the other shares came to me.

And you're just telling me this now, you fucker?

What the fuck was I gonna tell you?

We've been a little busy, babe.

[paper shuffles]

What you doing, sweetie?

Looking at all these documents.

-Maybe- -Don't you have

a class this morning?

[Brian sighs]

Look at this here.

Look what he did with Doctors Without Borders.

[upbeat instrumental music]

Pretty soon it'll be professors without jobs.

-[Corrine laughs] -[Brian laughs]

That's very funny.

[Corrine chuckles]

Are you not going to class this morning?

-No, I'm not. -[paper rustling]

No. I'm sure not.

Not I am not going to any classes

and I'm actually gonna

resign from the college.

Like really?

It's about time, don't you think?

[upbeat instrumental music]

What, more than 20 years over there.

This is my book. Now I'm gonna write about my father.

-What about- -This is my book now.

Your "American Revolution" book.

I... [laughs]

Let somebody else write about the American Revolution.

What is it?

A bunch of dates and events,

and I don't think anybody even cares about it anymore.

This is a story of hope. This is a story of love.

This is mystery. Just like he was.

[birds chirping]

It's about memories and about truth.

It means something, honey. It's mysterious.

-Just like my dad. -[upbeat instrumental music]

I have to do this.

-I'm, -[paper rustling]

if I don't do it, nobody else will.

[upbeat instrumental music]

Okay, so if you quit your job, then?

[upbeat instrumental music]

We're gonna have to travel.

-What? -I got $250,000,

with half of that lake house.

That's more than I would make for four years at the school.

We'll be traveling around being Robert Fenton land,

Arizona and Mexico, Oklahoma.

Babe, babe, babe. Are you okay?

Are you like having a stroke?

[upbeat instrumental music]

-[Corrine chuckles] -[Brian laughs]

I don't know. Maybe.

[Corrine chuckles]

Actually I feel great.

I'm more okay than I've been in a very long time.

I guess I'm thinking like Danny now.

Whatever happens, happens.

And whatever is right, feels right at the moment,

that's what I'm gonna do, okay?

You know what, Brian Fenton,

[upbeat instrumental music]

Wherever you go, I'm going with you.

[upbeat instrumental music]

All right, then...

Look how handsome he was.

Yeah, he was, "Mr. Wonderful."

-[Corrine chuckles] -[Brian chuckles]

We should go for a walk.
