[static buzzing]

[girl] Smart Cookie.

[birds chirping]

[Athena] "Please put all wet food
in the garbage disposal."

"I am sensitive
to the smell of rotting food."

"Don't let the same dog bite you twice."

"What did you do with my sunglasses?"

[somber piano theme playing]

[sighs]

[indistinct conversations]

[clapping]

[Max]
All right, people, let's get started.

Put your bags aside.

Now, I know you all wake up every morning
and you brush your teeth...

hopefully.

You drink your coffee,
and you smoke your cigarettes.

You put on your little leotard.

And you come to audition.

You come to work.

But what makes today
the day that you book?

What makes today more than just a job,

more than just your stupid little
dancer's life playing out in a loop?

[female choreographer]
Five, six, seven, eight...

One and two.

Three and four.

And five and six, seven and eight.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven and eight.

One, two, three, four,

five, six and seven and--

[rap music playing]

[music stops]

Athena, how long
have you been auditioning for me?

Six years.

[Max] Six years?

So I'm gonna ask you one last time:

how...

bad...

do you want this?

-Max, you know--
-Shut up!

More than your family?

-[Athena] Yes.
-More than your friends?

What friends?

All right. You can go.

[Athena, panting] Choke me.

Harder.

[Athena and man moaning]

Like you're raping me.

[man] What?

[Athena] I like it rough.

Harder!

Oh, God!

Oh, my God, I'm gonna cum!

[both moaning]

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

I think I'm still drunk.

I'm bad with names in general.

Bryan.

-Right.
-Bryan.

Well, Bry, um, that...

that was fun.

It was fun.

Athena.

Give it to me.

Don't leave me hangin'.

-[laughs]
-[cell phone vibrating]

At some point,
did you ask me to rape you?

Did that actually happen?

[Athena] What if I did?

I've just been out
of the game for a while.

I don't know if that's, like, a thing now.

[Athena speaks indistinctly]

[Bryan] I don't know if I know an actress
in L.A. who doesn't smoke cigarettes.

Oh, why, have you been fucking
a whole load of actresses?

Maybe.

Well, it's all right,
'cause I'm not an actress.

You're not?

Sex is better when guys think
they're banging actresses.

And Kindergarten teacher is
a close second, but, uh...

[clicks tongue]

it's no actress.

Kindergarten teacher
is pretty sexy actually.

[Athena]
Mmm. Well, I'm pretty sexy.

So how long have you been doing that?

Not long.

Because I'm
not really a kindergarten teacher.

[cell phone vibrating]

You, uh...

I think your booty call
is trying to get a hold of you.

[Athena] Booty call, no.

Boyfriend, yes.

I'm kidding.

I can't tell if you're funny
or just bat-shit crazy.

You must have a pretty lame sense of humor
if you think that's funny.

[cell phone vibrating]

Who's Jack?

Dude, I just met you five minutes ago.

-Please don't snoop my phone!
-Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Give it back.

Tell me who Jack is first.

Jack? Jack is my father, okay?

He drunk dials me sometimes.

Prove it.

I really don't feel like
talking to him right now.

It's because you're a liar.

I only lied about being an actress.

-Mm-hmm.
-Uh-huh.

And a kindergarten teacher, so...

track record's not great.

Okay, you want me to prove it to you?

Fine.

Fine, let's see what Jack,
my father, has to say.

-[Jack] Athena...
-[Bryan] All right--

-I get it.
-goddess of wisdom,

it's your-- [coughs]

It's Daddy.

King Jack, the Duke of Soul.

I need you to come
to Florida as soon as possible.

Big News.

I... have...

cancer!

[violin music playing]

[wind whistling]

[woman vocalizing over music]

Honey Bunny.

Did you forget about me?

No matter how hard I tried,
I could never forget about you.

[salsa music playing]

[Jack] Is it just me,

or did your boobs get smaller?

[Athena] It's just you.

Aw, Honey--

Athena.

Come here.

Come on.

[laughing]

[breathing hard]

[Athena] I got it. It's fine.

I got it.

Wow. Pink.

Yeah, it's been pink for a while.
You wouldn't know that though.

[Jack] You haven't visited me
in three years. What do you think?

[jazz playing on radio]

[Jack]
So how's the dancing going?

Huh?

Hey, I hear that all the young girls

are shavin' off
all their cabbage these days.

Is that true?

-[Honey Bunny] Cabbage Patch Kids!
-[car honks]

Well, I'm not "all the young girls,"
so how am I supposed to know?

Well, what about you?
You going bald eagle now or what?

No.

-[Jack] No?
-[tires screech, horn honks]

Because they say that--
that-- that you feel things better

because of the, uh,
the whatchamacallit.

The, uh... The nerve endings.

-Nerve endings?
-Yeah, that's what they're saying.

[Honey Bunny] If you want everyone
to know you have a small johnson...

[all] Drive that car!

[driver]
Screw you, you fuckin' asshole!

Sixty years old, six feet,
193 pounds.

No history of cancer,

no history of heart disease,

no history of anything
aside from cataract surgery in 2008

and high cholesterol.

See, Honey Bunny? Except for the cancer,
I'm in perfect health.

Oh! Oh, pay attention.

The doctor is gonna show us
a picture of Daddy's lungs,

and we're gonna
see what cancer looks like.

-Ooh-hoo-hoo!
-Ooh!

[Dr. Gupta] Based on PET scan,
CAT scan, and biopsy today,

we have determined
that the tumors are spreading

from your lungs to your lymph nodes,

which is typically a precursor
for spreading to the brain.

-Wait, what?
-Why are you taking notes?

What do you think,
he's gonna give you a test after?

Tests so far indicate no brain cancer.

Maybe the doctor can tell us
the name of a good Indian restaurant

where we can get a bite after.

-[Athena] Jack, please.
-She calls me Jack.

I'm her dad! She calls me Jack.

Why don't we try a version of Papa Bear?

Why don't we try listening to the doctor?

Fine. What's with the, uh...
the Limburgs?

Lymph nodes, yes.

Perhaps you could see better
if you removed your sunglasses?

How'd you know?

I don't understand.

We're invisible!

When he's wearing his sunglasses indoors,

we have to pretend he's invisible.

Theoretically,
you can't tell him to take them off

because you can't see him.

Right.

Well, since I can hear your voice,
Mr. Morehead,

but I can't see you,

I have to assume you're wearing
your invisible glasses

and therefore request you remove them,

so we can discuss the treatment options
for your cancer.

Wow! There you are.

Great.

It's okay to be scared.

But I'm not.

I have my Honey Bunny here.

You're here.

Jack.

I told you.
Call me Papa Bear.

Jack, I'm serious.

I don't have many left.
You know how I hate to waste.

[Honey Bunny, singing]
♪ I love daddy ♪

♪ He's not baddy ♪

I love you, princess.

Promise me you'll stay with me...

till the end?

Then you have to do everything
possible to beat this.

All right.
Guess I'll switch to ultra lights.

No.

It means you have to quit.

For good this time.

For all the nicotine-starved children
in Africa, right?

[laughing]

Ha ha!

Twenty-four fifty.

What?!

Twenty-four dollars and fifty cents
for parking?

[attendant]
That's what I said, sir.

[Jack] Aw, why you gotta do
a brother like that?

I was just gettin'
my lung cancer test results,

which were positive, I have cancer,

and they didn't validate my ticket.

Can't you help me out?

There is no validation, so...

No, dig this.
Dig this, Superfly.

I got a year to three years to live.

Just-- just help me out--

Dad, please.
Just pay so we can go home.

You want to give me
25 bucks for parking?

-Hell, no.
-Well, then zip it!

Seriously, what can you do for me?

If you buy something at the gift shop,

they validate in there.

Really?

-[horns honking]
-Sorry. Sorry.

Thank you for your patience.

Relax, buddy. Relax.

Sorry, I have cancer, so...
I'm sorry.

Here you go.
Thank you, my brother.

Ah! Unh! Jiminy Crickets!

I forgot to ask the Punjabi doctor
where we could eat.

[Honey Bunny]
Aw, Jiminy Crickets!

-Let's go.
-No, not those.

Athena, we don't have all day.

I told you. We're only eating
organic from here on out, okay?

I forgot how much
you like to spend my dough.

Oh, a banana.
It tastes like a banana.

Come on.

-[giggling]
-[Jack] Let's go, Athena!

[jazz playing]

[Jack]
What are we having, Honey Bunny?

Salad. And my name is Athena,
for the third time.

And my name is Honey Bunny
for the third time.

And what-- what are we having
for the main course?

This is the main course.

I guess what I mean is then
what are we having for our entrée?

What-- This is an entrée salad.

There's chicken, grilled zucchini,
onions, peppers.

-Yeah?
-Look, we got everything in here.

-We got radishes--
-What are we having for dessert?

[cell phone vibrating]

You know what?
I got to take this call.

You want some real food?

Yeah? All right.

-Daddy?
-Yeah?

Do you know where my orange marker is?

[Jack]
How would I know that?

Why would I have any idea
where your orange marker is?

I don't know.

Well, then why are you asking me?

[Honey Bunny] I don't know.

All right.

All right, I'll be right back.

But I'm hungry now.

Well, if you don't want salad...

[freezer opens and closes]
-Here.

Eat that.

I'll be right back.

[Athena]
Hi, I just had a miscall from this number.

-[Bryan] Hey.
-Who is this?

It's Bryan.

-Who?
-Bryan.

I'm sorry.
I meet a lot of people.

Bryan-- it doesn't ring any bells.

From the other night?

The one who heard
the message from your dad?

Did I give you my number?

Is this a bad time?

Listen, I can't fuck you, all right?

I'm out of town for a while.

No, I wasn't calling for--

I just--
I just wanted to check up on you.

Oh, I get it.

What, you get off on rescuing
damsels in distress, is that it?

What? No.

I do not get off
on whatever you just said.

I just was thinking about you
and wanted to give you a call.

Jesus Christ, I wasn't prepared
for an interrogation.

-[coughing]
-Wait, I gotta go!

Have some.
Drink up, drink up.

What, you're smoking now?

You're, like, four.

[coughs]
I'm six and a half.

Yes.
Yes, you're six and a half.

Yes, you are, girl. Come here.

You do not want to start smoking now.

Believe me,
that is not what you want to do.

Mmm.

Wait, Honey Bunny, stop!
Seriously.

-You're mean.
-No, I'm not.

To Daddy you are.

Yeah? Well, Daddy doesn't always
behave the way a daddy should.

-Yes, he does.
-[laughs]

If you can't see that,
you totally drank the Kool-Aid.

-Kool-Aid's for coloreds.
-Great.

Now he's turning you into a racist, too.

A what?

Listen, there's Daddy's world,
and then there's the real world.

Is the real world L.A.?

Turn back around.

[subdued music playing]

[somber piano theme playing]

[jazz playing]

[Honey Bunny]
What are you doing?

Drinking Bailey's over three ice cubes.

-Why?
-'Cause that's what it recommended

on the back of the bottle.

Why are you still awake?

[Honey Bunny]
I want to listen with you.

No. No, kid. Back to bed. Go.

-But I don't want to--
-Come on. Go on, back to bed.

[Honey Bunny]
But I don't want to.

Say good night, moon.

[Honey Bunny]
But I don't wanna go to bed!

I'm gonna count to three.

One...

Two...

[Honey Bunny]
Good night, kittens, good night, mittens.

Say good night to the boys.

[Honey Bunny]
Good night, Miles.

Good night, B.B.

Good night, Coltrane.

Good girl.
Good night, princess.

[water running]

[Dr. Halper]
Well, you can expect all sorts of things:

lack of appetite, lethargy,

hair loss, loss of bowel movement,

um, dry mouth,
difficulty swallowing.

It's important that he take a rest
when he needs to feel rested.

Here's the pamphlet
from the, uh, lung cancer alliance.

Thank you.

[Dr. Halper]
Did you have any other questions?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

Uh, how long does
the first cycle of chemo last?

It's six weeks.

He'll come in for five-hour treatments
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Then we check to see
if the cancer spread

to assess whether or not
he needs another six-week course.

[Jack] I'd like to make
an announcement to everybody.

I have officially quit smoking.

Oh. Well, I think we would all agree
that that's a positive step.

Um, have you noticed
anything different since you quit?

[Jack] I have.

Boners.

First thing in the morning
soon as I get up,

a hard as a rock boner.

Hasn't happened to me in years.

What's that about?

[Dr. Halper] Uh, well, the blood flow
starts to build back up--

[Jack] Wait, wait.
I got another question.

Does cancer-- Would that allow me
to get handicapped parking?

Um...

[jazz playing]

[Athena]
I don't want to hear it.

I didn't say anything.

-I know what you're thinking.
-No, I'm--

-[doorbell rings]
-Oh, she's here.

[Athena] Who is that?

I didn't make that much food.

-Hey!
-Mmm!

Athena, this is Seashell.

Seashell, this is my daughter, Athena.

Hello, Athena.

Seashell?

Actually, it's pronounced Say-chel,

but Jacky here
can call me whatever he likes.

[Jack chuckles]

-Jacky?
-Yeah, Jacky.

I see you're still paying women
to have sex with you.

I don't pay them for the sex with me.

-I pay them to leave!
-I pay them to leave! Yeah.

Athena, I could die any day now.

You want to deprive me
of my final Seashell experience?

You are a piece of work, you know that?

Don't be such a square.

Marriage is just a socially acceptable
form of prostitution.

Prostitution is illegal!

When you marry a woman,
you take a vow to pay for her.

She takes a vow to fuck you.

The problem comes when she
doesn't hold up her end of the bargain.

Here, I can't open this. Here.

What is this?

Oh, dude, are you for real?

-"Oh, dude"?
-Viagra?

I'm not your dude.

Call me a version of Daddy-O or Papa Bear.
Capisce?

You can't even open the lid.

Do you honestly think
this is a good idea?

Because I've got something wrong
with my hand here,

but it has nothing to do with the cancer.

Right, look, I haven't lost
a hair on my head.

It's been a week, okay?

And not everyone loses
their hair from chemo.

There's one left.
You know how I hate to waste.

One pill is not gonna kill me.

Athena...

Think of all the flaccid children
in Africa.

Come on, help an old guy out.

Please?

Come on.

Come on.

-I hate you.
-No, you don't.

-I do.
-No, you don't.

Ah. Was that hard?

-It will be now.
-Ohh!

[Jack] Come here, Seashell.
You just sit here.

Okay. Thank you.

[clears throat]

[praying silently]

What are you doing?

I'm praying, sweet child.

My father doesn't pray.

He's an atheist.

Well, that's all fine, but in the midst
of all the craziness in the world,

we gots to remember to be grateful
for our blessings.

Grateful for what?

Well, for one thing,

I think it's something that you're
back here with your daddy, Athena.

Thank you, Seashell.

And what are you thankful for?

I'm thankful
for the pharmaceutical companies.

Thankful that they can make a pill

that can help an elderly man
with cancer get an erection.

All right, that's enough.

I'm thankful for Daddy
teaching me how to drive,

for James Bond,
and for my press-on nails.

Oh, and hugs.

Oh, you know what?

If you'll excuse me, Father,

it seems that I've
suddenly lost my appetite.

Now I know
why alligators eat their young.

[laughing]

[rhythmic thumping]

[Jack, muffled] Slap my ass.

[Seashell speaking indistinctly]

[laughing]

[rock music playing]

You bitch!

-Join us!
-God!

[Natalia] Yoo-hoo! Hi!

Oh!

Oh, my goodness,
you just keep getting tinier, don't you?

I've been on the paleo for the last year.

Fuck that L.A. shit, all right?

I'm on that Snickers diet.

[Athena] Oh, look at you,
you're growing, really.

Thanks, 'Theens.

Come on, come sit.
Sit, sit, sit.

Look!

So, how's the dancing?

[Athena]
It's, um... I don't know, it's, um...

I don't want to jinx it.

Do you want a beer?
Maybe some wine?

They have some pretty good wine here.

Bob!

[Natalia]
So why are you home?

I'm just visiting.

What are you guys doing here...

together?

[Wes] Nat didn't tell you?

I'm the automatic plus-one
these days.

Nat, do you have to go
to the bathroom?

I-- I need to go to the bathroom.

[Natalia] Oh, okay.

Well, we would bring you along
if we could, baby.

You know what, it is the only place
you don't get an automatic plus-one.

Oh, please with that, all right?

Not everything is about you.

What happened
to that guy you were dating before?

The, um...
Fuck, what was his name?

The, uh... the Mike guy?

What happened to him?

Uh, first of all, it's Mitch.

And if you really must know,
he was a Jew.

-So?
-You know I love the Jews.

I do love the Jews, don't get me wrong.
I love the Jews.

-But Mitch was very Jewish.
-[toilet flushes]

I mean he told me that the only way
we could get married is if I converted,

and something about that just--

uh, did not sit right with me.

So, wait, you come home
and the only non-Jew you could find

happened to be
my high school sweetheart?

Your sweetheart?
Okay, you're delusional, right?

You know that, right?

He liked you for, like, a minute
when we were 17,

and, honey, let's be real--
you broke up with him.

You left.

Shoot, you haven't emailed
or called me in God knows how long,

and all I know is that it was
long enough for this shit to go down

and you not have a fucking clue.

So what are you doing home, Athena?

Can you pass me the toilet paper, please?

Not till you tell me
what you're doing home.

[scoffs and laughs]

Aah!

Wait, he makes you happy?

Wes, you're happy with him?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I'm sorry.

I really am.

If I thought you gave a shit,
I would have made it a point to tell you.

You're at least going to invite me
to your wedding though, right?

Are you even gonna
come back for the wedding?

-I will come back for the wedding, okay?
-Oh!

Please pass me some toilet paper.

[retching]

Fuck, are you okay?

[retches, spits]

[moaning]

[Athena, whispering]
You're pregnant.

Wes doesn't know, all right?

And I cannot tell him
before the first trimester

because then he gets, like-
[buzzes lips]

And, you know what,
his mom is just like--

Stop. Are we talking about the same guy
who makes you quote unquote happy?

Okay.
[in Spanish] Enough.

Tell me why you're here.

-Speak to me.
-[sighs]

[in English]
I don't hear anything.

[in Spanish]
My dad has cancer.

[Natalia gasps]

[in English] Oh, my God.

[Jack] So if anybody asks,

just tell them that your mother's dead.

That's why you don't have a mother.

But you have the best dad in the world,
so it's okay.

[Honey Bunny]
So Mommy's in heaven?

Heaven's a bunch of bullshit, kid.

Trust me.

Some very, very smart people
invented heaven

to sell cream cheese and toilet paper.

What happens when you die?

I don't.

See? Look.

I'm right here.

I'm not going anywhere.

You're stuck with me, baby.

Daddy, have you found
my orange marker yet?

[Jack chuckles]

Come here. Let me impart
some wisdom on you, daughter.

Okay?

Sometimes in life, people lose things.

You, for example,
you lost your orange marker.

Now, I'm sure
this cute, peanut-size brain of yours

doesn't believe that you
truly lost the orange marker,

only that you can't find it.

Which is why you keep
asking Daddy if he's found it.

But there's a very strong probability

that you're never gonna
see that orange marker again.

It's gone.

You understand?

[cell phone ringing and vibrating]

[Jack] Athena!

Athena?

Athena!

I went to Costco,
then I went to a deli.

Got you a pastrami sandwich
right here.

I went to Bed Bath & Beyond,
then I went to a great thrift store.

And, look at this...

Look at that.

It's a pillow on one side...

-[knocking]
-desk on the other.

[child-safe cap clicking]

-Wow...
-Is that unbelievable?

That's unbelievable.

Wait until you see this.
The best part.

Here, the piece de résistance,
or whatever that is.

Here we go.

A hot plate.
Isn't that great?

Now you can cook for us.

No more salads.
Well, salads, but just not as many.

But what's wrong with the stove?

The repair guy said it was broken,
said I needed a new one.

And those guys
are always trying to gouge you,

so I got this instead.

Look at that.

Look at that, good as new.

Good as new.

Hey. Hey, you, no more vitamins.

But they're healthy!

"Oh! Oh, what is it Dad?
What did you get?"

Well, I'm glad you asked.

I got some weights,

'cause now I can fulfill
my lifelong ambition

of being a weightlifter, too.

Hoo! [panting]

Yeah, I got the pastrami sandwich for you.

What kind of animal am I?

I don't know. A fish?

What kind of fish?

[cell phone ringing]

Max! Hi!

What kind of fish am I?

No, sorry. No, no, no.
It's just-- It's just me here.

-Um... I am all ears.
-[object clicking]

What?

So I got through to the next round!?

Okay. Um, the second round
is the final round.

That is, um-- That is good news.

That soon?

No. No, no, no, that is, um...

That is not a problem.

Yes, it is.

Uh-huh.

Okay, see you in two weeks.

See who in two weeks?

[screaming]

What about Daddy?

Shit.

I don't know what to do, I mean...

This tour, it's everything
I've been waiting and working for.

Yeah, but it's your dad.

Aah! [giggling]

I wonder why my dad even had me.

It's not like he was ready to be a father.

[technician]
That's it right there.

Can you see it?

[Natalia]
It's the size of a grape!

Have you noticed how our culture
never celebrates death or divorce?

Okay, excuse me.
This is not about you.

This is about me and my baby,
and we'd like a little attention

from Auntie Athena.

Look, I have a grape!

[Athena] Look at that.

You can't see it, can you?

No. No.

Come on, this is like one
of those magic eye thingies.

You know I could never do those.

If you didn't want to give up your life,
why'd you come back?

Because he asked me to.

Because he's your dad.

[Athena] Come on.

Hey.

Hey.

Come on, it's time to go.

[groans]

What time is it?

[Honey Bunny]
Time to go, Daddy.

[coughing]

You're-- You're supposed
to be here at one o'clock!

-I'm sorry.
-Where were you?

Well, I'm here now.

-Just answer the question.
-Calm down.

-Are you okay?
-I'm fine!

Where the hell were you?

I asked you a question!
Where were you?

What do you want me say?

Why were you late?

The parking lot was filled
with a bunch of mooks!

There, is that
a good enough answer for you?

You're never on time for anything!

The only thing you haven't been late for
is your fucking period!

Jesus! Why do always make me
feel like shit for the stupidest things?

I was ten minutes late!
Big fucking deal!

I dropped my whole goddamn life
to come take care of you!

Why do I make you feel like shit?

The only person who can make you feel
anything is your fucking self!

Give me the keys, I'm driving!

-Are you sure that's a good idea?
-Give me the--

You don't tell me what to do.
I tell you what to do.

I'm the boss.
You're the employee.

As a matter of fact from now on,
you call me "boss"!

Now give me the keys!

You're a stupid little girl
who doesn't know a thing!

You don't know how to drive!
You don't know how to be on time!

You don't know how to find parking!

And you sure as fuck don't know
how to dance,

or else you'd have a job by now!

I'm fucking in there having chemo!

For five fucking hours!

Tell me not to live my fucking life.

["It Hurts Me So Much"
by Etta James playing]

Daddy!

Daddy!

[Jack] What?!

What? What? What?

What's the matter?

-What's wrong?
-The tooth fairy doesn't like me.

What?

I lost a tooth,
so I put it under my pillow.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait,
wait a minute.

Wait a minute. You lost a tooth?

Why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't the tooth fairy give me money?

Well, maybe last night was her night off.

[Honey Bunny] No.

Well, maybe a lot of kids lost
their tooth yesterday,

and, you know, she couldn't get
to everybody's house on time.

That's all.

But you said that when you lose a tooth,
you put it under your pillow

and the tooth fairy
comes to your room and takes it

and gives it to all the little babies
who don't have teeth yet.

Yeah, I did say that.

All right.

I'm gonna level with you, kid.

Every time...

Every time a kid
puts the tooth under the pillow,

their mom or their dad,
they come in the room at night,

and they exchange--
they swap the tooth for money.

What?

Do you-- It's-- it's-- All right,

remember, like, how the Wizard of Oz

was really this little old man
behind a curtain?

I never saw it.

We never watched The Wizard of Oz?

Yes, we-- No?

Oh, well, I'm slipping.

I know you've seen this one.

You know
how From Russia With Love, right?

Uh, Tatiana Romanova, right?

She meets James in Istanbul
to return the Lektor to England

only to find out
the whole thing was a trap.

It's like that.

That's how it is.

The tooth fairy, life.

Marriage.

You think something is one way

only to learn
that it's something entirely different.

Do you understand what I'm sayin'?

It's just--

You do or you don't?

I know something
that you're gonna understand.

I don't know how many teeth
you've lost,

but this...

this should cover it.

[crickets chirping]

[rhythmic music playing]

[cell phone ringing]

[panting]

Don't you know the rule
about not calling girls

who sleep with you
the first night you meet them?

[Bryan] Girl, you know
what they say about rules.

[laughs] What?
That they're made to be broken?

[Bryan] Oh, yeah.

So, how are ya?

Oh, I'm fine.

How's your dad?

Uh, still very much himself.

Good. Good.

Yeah.

Uh...

I just wanted to say that, uh,
I'm always around,

you know, if you ever want to shoot
the shit or just...

you know.

I'm here for ya.

Hey, Bryan, I-- I have to go.

Hey,

can you see the moon?

Um...

Uh, yes.

Yeah, I can see it.

You see that halo?

[Athena] No, no halo.

[Bryan] I always found that funny,

that two people can be looking
at the same sky on the same night

and see two different versions
of the same thing.

-Hey, Bryan?
-Yeah?

Thanks for calling.

Hey, Athena?

Hang in there.

Okay.

Good night.

[Athena] I'm here to pick up my father,
Jack Morehead.

Can you spell the last name, please?

M-O-R-E-H-E-A-D.

[keyboard clicking]

Aw.

Dr. Halper,
please come to the nurses' station.

Dr. Halper,
to the nurses' station, please.

The doctor will be right with you.

[monitor beeping]

Hey. What do you mean
by "an adverse reaction"?

The chemo is supposed
to make him better, not worse.

Some people get worse
before they get better.

Chemo is a shock to the system.

Different systems
handle that shock very differently.

Yeah?
Well, how did his handle it?

Not well.

He was disoriented,
very irritable, he started cursing.

He's always like that.

He pulled the I.V. out of his arm
and held it to a nurse's neck.

Does he always do that?

We sedated him and then his blood pressure
dropped considerably.

We just want to take some precautions,
run a few tests,

make sure everything checks out.

Trust me.

He'll be out in two days, maybe three.

Okay. Well, trust me.

You'll want him out after two.

[music playing]

Close out or keep it open?

Keep it open.

[Athena] This seat taken?

[man] It's all yours.

You know, I've never been very good
at playing it cool or whatever, so, um...

I'm just gonna go right ahead
and tell you why I'm here.

You mean to tell me
you're not a Jehovah's Witness?

Um, what'd you say your name was?

Let's not task ourselves
with the silly chore

of trying to remember
each other's name now.

So you're not gonna tell me your name?

I prefer we go to a motel.

Or the bathroom's fine.

Then, uh, say our goodbyes
and be on our merry way.

Um...

Aren't musicians used to meeting girls

they'll never have to see
or talk to again?

Listen, darlin', I'm-- I'm sorry,

but I'm just
gonna have to politely decline.

[machine beeping, TV playing]

[Seashell] I got a friend
who could get you some morphine.

-You could buy a boat...
-[Jack chuckling]

and we could all sail around the world
till the pain got too bad.

[Jack coughs]

You know, it wasn't the cancer
that landed me here.

It was the chemo. That's what got me.

The medical profession ain't nothin'
but a bunch of assholes

who do whatever the insurance companies
tell them to do.

Hit me.

No, no, no. With this.

Oh, Jacky, you better watch
yourself, baby.

You's in the hospital.

[Jack]
Come here and slap my ass.

[Seashell laughing]

Ah, look what the cat dragged in!

[Seashell, accenting first syllable]
Hello, Ath-ena.

-[Jack] Hi, Ath-ena.
-Hello, Seashell.

You know, I'm not an invalid.

-[Athena] Just say thank you.
-No.

Shh! This is the best part.

Hey, The Spy Who Loved Me.

[Jack] Yep.
Who played James Bond in this?

[Athena]
Oh, please. Roger Moore.

-[Honey Bunny] Duh!
-[Jack] Yeah, yeah.

That was too easy.
Everybody knows that.

Who played Agent XXX?

Barbara...

-Barbara Bach.
-Uh-huh.

-Yeah?
-Very good.

Now, what kind of gun was she using?

Which one?

In the last scene against James.

What was the gun that she had?

Ooh, that's a hard one.

[Jack] Started with a "W"...

-The...
-Walther PPK.

Ah! That's my girl!

What a good girl. Mmm!

Only girl in her class
who could identify firearms.

[Jack] I can't wait to eat something
other than tasteless dinner rolls

-and Jell-O with the texture of butter.
-[car starts]

It's horrible.

Hey, hey, hey! Watch it!

Watch it! I got cancer here!

I want the cancer to get me, not you!

Want someone to know
you got a small johnson...

[all] Drive that car!

Very good.

Uh, Dad, there's something
that I need to talk to you about.

Dad?
Wow, I've been promoted.

Daddy, listen. I got a call,

and there's something
that I want to talk to you--

Wait there!

Wait there!

[Athena]
Jack, I swear I'll be back.

I swear I'll be back.

Jack, this is my life.
This is my life, Jack.

[Honey Bunny]
Daddy, can I drive?

No. No. No.

I just got out of the hospital.
I'm driving.

[Honey Bunny crying]

[door ajar warning chiming]

[Athena]
Like I was saying, Dad, um...

There's something that I really need
to talk to you about--

Athena, I just got out of the hospital.
So whatever it is, can it wait?

Yeah.

Sure.

[sobbing hysterically]

Hey.

Time for your vitamins.

My throat hurts too much.

I can't swallow.

You want some more ice chips?

Pacifier.

What?

[clears throat]

I want you to go down to the drugstore
and get me a pacifier.

Are you serious?

Go on.

Oh. Okay.

Uh, wait.

Did you take my sunglasses?

[Athena, whispering]
Look at that.

Oh. Thank you.

I don't remember putting them
up there like that.

[man] Excuse me, ma'am.
Can I help you find something?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.
I'm looking for a pacifier.

All right.
How old is your baby?

Sixty.

-Wait, in a minute.
-Here you go.

-I gotta use the john.
-Oh. Okay.

-Just lea-- leave me be, Athena.
-Fine. Fine.

Don't just stand there! Help me up!

Okay, fine.

-[farts]
-Oh-- Oh, God.

Oh, God.

-[defecating]
-Oh, God.

-Okay.
-Go.

No, no, no! We can not do.

But these are his favorite pants.

Jack Morehead.
He said that you know him.

That you'd take care of it.

[woman]
Very bad. Not clean. Very bad.

Must throw away.

No. But, um, he sent me here to--

[woman]
Poo-poo, ca-ca, no.

It will go all over
other customer clothing.

I'm not throwing them away.

They're my favorite pair.

You have a closet full
of at least 14 identical pairs.

I like those.
Those are the favorite ones.

I don't know what to tell you.

-Wash them by hand.
-Excuse me?

It's just a little shit, Athena.

No, it's a lot of shit, actually

And, wait a minute, forgive me
for not wanting my father's poop stench

on my hands all week.

Do you know how many times
I had your poop stench on my hands?

Oh, what? Oh, my God, what,
when I was a baby?

All the time!

For years on end.

This is slightly different.

You know what?
You're such a fuckin' princess!

I raised you better than this!

[sighs]

[cell phone rings]

Hi. What do you need?

[Jack] It's two thirty.

I don't see, taste, or smell my lunch.

Does this mean your mouth is better now?

I expect it at three o'clock.

Goodbye.

Yes, Boss.

[Athena] Where are they?

Where are they?

I know that they are somewhere in here.

Stop! Leave them alone!

I know you took the last pack
from the freezer!

-Did not!
-Did, too! Don't lie to me!

-Did not!
-You did, too.

-Do not lie to me! Okay?
-Nnh!

[woman vocalizing slowly]

[cell phone ringing]

[Athena] You came.

[Bryan] Of course.

You called and begged.

Oh, please, I didn't beg.

I know, I'm sorry.
You just butt-dialed me

and casually asked.

What are you doing?

Oh, my God, okay?

You wanna do that?

Okay, that's happening.

I don't know what's happening--
whatever that is.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

-How was your flight?
-It was long.

It was long, but I'm very happy
that you came to pick me up.

[Bryan]
I did not have that much time--

-After you, my darling.
-Thank you very much.

I did not have
that much time to clean up,

so don't judge me, please.

Well, no judgment.

You've been here before,
so just make yourself at home.

[distant siren]

[Jack, on voicemail] I'm sorry.

If you come back,
I promise it will be different.

I promise, Athena.

I'll get a nurse. I'll be nice.

Whatever you say.

I quit smoking. Finito.

Honey Bunny, goddess of wisdom...

I can't die alone.

[indistinct conversations]

[cell phone ringing]

Focus! Come on, Athena!

[cell phone continues ringing]

God damn it, if you're gonna be
this distracted now,

what am I gonna expect in rehearsals?

Let's go!

-Lift it up.
-[cell phone ringing]

Whose ever phone is ringing,
please turn if off now!

People, please, keep
your personal belongings in your lockers.

Thank you!

There you go.
Hold her up a little bit.

[jazz piano version
of "Tea for Two" playing]

I have made you some delicious oatmeal.

Come on, Daddy. I'm back!

It is hot, and it might burn your tongue.

Daddy, I'm here.

Jack.

Jack?

Jack.

[ventilator humming]

[knock on door]

Excuse me, miss?
Is this your--

He's my father.

-Do you have power of attorney?
-Yes.

Do you want us to start his heart
if it stops beating?

Excuse me?

Right now, your father is hooked up
to a machine that's breathing for him.

His heart is still beating on its own,
but it will stop soon,

and when it does,
do you want us to restart it for him?

[Athena] Yes.

[Dr. Ahmed]
We have to crack his ribs

and press on his chest
with all our might to restart the heart.

Crack his ribs then.

-No, you don't understand--
-No. You don't understand.

If his heart stops, crack his ribs.

Fine.

[woman]
As you can see in the brochure,

-we have a large selection.
-[Athena] Mm-hmm.

You were his daughter?

I am his daughter.

Oh, yes, right.

But what I meant to ask is...

...he has no spouse?

Nope. No, never married.

What about your mother?

What about my mother?

Well, where is she?

I like to think she took
the Thelma and Louise route,

and her spirit is just floating
somewhere over the Grand Canyon.

No older siblings?

No other legal guardian
to help you with all of this?

I'm my legal guardian.

[Honey Bunny] That one.

[somber music playing]

[Athena] Could I tell them
that he took a job selling scrap metal

instead of following his dreams
of playing jazz saxophone?

Could I tell them
that he didn't fight for his life...

didn't take it seriously...

didn't think about how his dying
would affect those he left behind?

How about how he's handicapped me

in virtually every relationship I attempt

with a member of the opposite sex?

Was I allowed to tell them the truth?

"Romance is mush,

stifling those who strive.

I'll live a lush life
in some small dive."

"Whoever feels it deepest wins."

"Remember the Alamo."

"Please put all wet food
in the garbage disposal.

I am sensitive
to the smell of rotting food."

"Don't let the same dog bite you twice."

[indistinct conversations]

[Wes] Nice sunnies.

Oh.

Oh, you want them?

I don't know
what to do with all this shit.

-You should keep them.
-Yeah?

Maybe you can tell me everything
I should keep

and what I'm allowed to throw out.

'Theens, I can't.

Please.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

You should come
over for dinner before you go.

Nat'll like that.

Yeah. Sure.

We're always here for you...

all three of us.

[crying]

[kiss]

[treadmill beeps]

I suppose you think I'm a massive bitch

for not returning
any of your calls or texts.

I can take a hint.

There's no hint.

I had to go back to Florida.

Is your dad okay?

Shit.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing this Friday?

Aw, you know,

hangin' out with my boys.

-Go clubbin'.
-Go clubbing?

Yeah. What about you?

I'm coming over to your place.

-Oh, really?
-Uh-huh.

I won't hold my breath.

No, I'm being serious.

How's eight?

Uh...

I'll have to check with my boys.

Of course.

But, uh, eight probably works.

Yeah?

Okay. Well, text me your address.

I'll do that right now.

I mean, after I finish my--

-[Athena] Yeah, yeah.
-Yeah, I'm up to, like, four miles--

I got it.

[TV playing indistinctly]

[Athena] What's this?

Bond marathon.

[Athena] Hey, how do I look?

[Honey Bunny] Like a slut.

Fine. I'm gonna be back
in two hours tops, okay?

All right, milady, have a seat.

Bryan, this isn't necessary.

I know it's not necessary,

but when was the last time someone
made you a home-cooked meal?

-Mmm.
-Huh?

Now, I was not sure
if you ate meat or not,

because, you know,
all you actresses are vegan.

I'm not an actress.

Hello? Joking.

[sizzling]

[Athena] She looks like you.

Your mom.

[Bryan] I think the baldness
really accentuates the similarities.

-[wine pouring]
-Careful, I only have three more bottles.

[chuckles]

So, uh, are you ever gonna tell me
what you really do for work?

Well, I...

am a stripper.

Do you mind if we eat first?

Look, Athena, I know how hard of a time
this must be for you.

No, you don't.

Yes, I do.

No.

Why? Just because
your mom died of cancer,

you think that you and I
are the same somehow?

Is that it?

-What?
-The photo.

You're not exactly hiding
the fact that she had chemo.

My mom didn't have chemo.
I did.

My family shaved their heads
when I started losing my hair.

You're not the only one in the world
that's been affected by this shit.

Listen, I'm not-- I'm not good at this.

What's that, eating or talking?

This, all right? All this.

No, Athena,
I'm just trying to get to know you.

-I should go.
-Oh, come on.

-I should go.
-No, no, no. Come on.

-That's a little dramatic.
-No, you know what?

I don't do
the whole boyfriend-girlfriend thing.

I'm gonna leave that with you.

What about the whole grown-up talking
to another grown-up over dinner thing?

Do you do that?

Look, I didn't come here
for you to wine and dine me

and be all nice to me and tell me
that everyone has fucking cancer.

No, you just came here
for a little empty, meaningless sex.

Oh! Oh! I'm sorry!

What kind of fag turns down
a half-naked girl in his living room?

The kind that knows
you can't keep fucking away your pain.

"Pain"?

My pain?

Well, what are you now,
my fucking shrink?

-[timer beeping]
-Oh, now, come on.

We both know
that you don't have a therapist.

[Athena]
Oh, fuck you! What is that?!

It's a soufflé.

I made it for dessert.

[beeping stops]

[oven opens]

[engine running]

It's Jack.

You know what to do.

[crying]

Daddy...

I just wanted to say that, um...

that I'm so sorry.

Okay? I am so sorry for everything.

And I forgive you.

I do.

I do. I forgive you.

Dad...

Dad, this is so hard.

I miss you.

And I love you.

[somber piano theme playing]

[sticky note crinkling]

[rhythmic music fades in]

[Max]
All right, hold the music. Stop!

Athena.

I'm sorry, Max.

-I'm so sorry.
-Shh.

I'm sorry.

Welcome back.

["Be A Body" by Grimes playing]

Smile!

Smile, baby.

One, two, three!

[Jack] Got it?

[Jack] Big smile, Athena.

One, two, three!

-Yay!
-[squeals]

I love you, princess.

If you want someone to know
you have a small johnson...

[both] Drive that car!

Very good.

[Jack] Honey Bunny,
goddess of wisdom...

What are we having, Honey Bunny?

Good to see you, Honey Bunny.

Aw, Honey-- Athena...

[Jack]
That orange marker is gone...

forever.

You've never gonna see it again.

And that's okay.
