FUCK!

SOME DAY
YESTERDAY, CASS.

YESTERDAY WAS
A THREE-RING CIRCUS.

I'M GOING TO BE
WITH MY FATHER TODAY.

MY FATHER HAS MORE
BIG AND HUGE FOR ME.

WITHOUT THE ZEROS
AND ONES, CASS,

BIG AND HUGE
WON'T MEAN DICK.

WORK HERE.

TWO-STOP BUS RIDE, DWAYNE,
FROM LURKING OUTSIDE
THE DOOR

TO FUCKING TURNING
INTO A FULL-BLOWN HOMO.

CAN I COME IN?

NO, STAY THE FUCK OUTSIDE.

STILL BROOMING
THE SPIDER WEBS
OFF OUR WEBSITE?

1244 HITS.

1244 HITS
IN, LIKE, 24 HOURS.

NO SHIT.

IT'S THE HALO EFFECT
FROM SHAUN.

FAR OUT.

BOTTOM LINE, I THINK
SHAUN NEEDS HIS OWN SITE.

WELL, HE'S ALREADY
ON MYTUBE, OR WHATEVER
THE FUCK YOU CALL IT.

A SITE, BUTCHIE,

COMMERCIAL
PORTAL CAPACITY,

LIKE FIVE YEARS
AHEAD OF THE CURVE

I THOUGHT TO PUT IN YOURS
AND YOU NEVER FUCKING
EXPLOITED.

( chuckles )

YOU THINK THAT'S WHERE
IT ALL WENT WRONG--

ME NOT EXPLOITING
MY PORTAL CAPACITY?

NO, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT
YOU AT ALL, BUTCHIE.

I'M JUST SAYING,
IF SHAUN DOESN'T DO IT,

WHOEVER
SPONSORS HIM WILL,

AND HE'LL END UP
GETTING USED LIKE
SOME STREET WHORE.

DOES ANY OF THAT
SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU?

I GUESS
THAT MAKES SENSE.

WELL, YOU OUGHTA
GO TALK TO HIM,
AND NOW'S A GOOD TIME

'CAUSE MITCH IS
AT THE RESTORATION CENTER.

OR WHATEVER THE FUCK
HE'S DOING IN MEXICO.

I DON'T SUPPOSE
YOU'D LIKE TO COME
WITH ME.

NAH, I GOT A BUTT PLUG
EXPLOITING MY PORTAL.

WHAT THE FUCK AM I GONNA
SAY TO HIM, DWAYNE?

YEAH, OKAY.

IN CASE HE DOESN'T
UNDERSTAND HOW I TALK
WAS ALL.

FUCK, I USED TO WORK
AT THE U.N., BABY.

NOW I'LL HAVE
TO CANCEL MY MANY
PREVIOUS ENGAGEMENTS.

- YEAH, I'LL HAVE TO CANCEL
ALL OF MINE TOO.
- THAT'S RIGHT.

WHERE ARE WE LOOKING?
I'LL MEET YOU.

DWAYNE, DWAYNE, DWAYNE!

SOME GANGBANGER WILL
HIT YOU UPSIDE THE HEAD

AND I'LL HAVE TO COLLECT YOU
WITH A SPOON AND BLOTTER.

SO DON'T EVEN TRY
TO LIVE GREEN?

YOU GOT IT, MY BROTHER.

HEY, JANIE.
( chuckles )

Both: AWW.

- GOOD OR BAD?
- GOOD.

EVERYTHING'S GOOD.

GOOD ENOUGH
TO GET HIS BOARDS
OUT OF STORAGE?

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

SEE THAT?

IMPERIAL BEACH,
WHO'S BEEN HERE BEFORE?

A FUNKY LITTLE
BEACH TOWN,

A LOT OF HISTORY
FOR OUR SPORT.

NOW--

OH, MY FRIEND,
SPREAD THAT FOOD AROUND.

IF YOU SEE ANY
HUNGRY CONVENTIONEERS
COMING THROUGH HERE, FEED 'EM.

- FIRES?
- NO FIRES,

LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES.

( sighs )
WONDER BOY--
E-COMMERCE BITCHFEST.

TREMENDOUS LEARNING
OPPORTUNITIES.

WE'RE ROLLING OUT
THOSE P.O.P. INCENTIVES.

WHICH YOU THINK
IS MONEY PISSED AWAY.

A WISE MAN ONCE TOLD ME
THAT "CORE SHOPS ARE
STINKWEED'S SOUL."

DID YOU BELIEVE HIM?

WE UPPED
THE INCENTIVES TO 4%.

YEAR-TO-DATE,
DOMESTIC'S NEARLY LEVEL,

- DOWN .3%...
- HMM.

...WITHIN THE PARAMETERS
OF PLAN.

INTERNATIONAL'S
14 ABOVE PLAN.

EASTERN EUROPE'S
A MINOR DISAPPOINTMENT.

- CHINA'S ON PLAN.
- STALEMATE ON THAT
TRADEMARK HEADACHE.

- ( sighs )
- LATIN AMERICA STAYS
A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

THE BRAZILIANS HAVE
A BONER FOR OUR SHOES.

REALLY?
YOU GOT A BONER?

LET ME CHECK.

BREAK.

THEY START
WEARING SUITS
OR WE DO.

WHAT HAPPENED
IN HUNTINGTON, JAKE?

I THOUGHT THAT'S
WHAT WE'D BE TALKING
ABOUT IN THERE.

I THOUGHT WE
WOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT T
BEFORE WE WENT IN THERE.

I DON'T KNOW, DUDE--
THE FUCKING TRAFFIC,
YOU KNOW?

SHAUN YOST.

AT HUNTINGTON,
SHAUN YOST WON.

HE WIPED OUT
AND HURT HIMSELF
AT THE END OF THE HEAT.

THE DOCTOR WAS WRONG
HOW BAD.

I WAS THERE
WHEN THEY BROUGHT HIM
OUT OF THE WATER.

HE WAS DROWNED.
HE BROKE HIS NECK.

HOW IS HE ALIVE?
A MIRACLE?

I AGREED HE COULD BE
THE NEXT ONE.

ALL THE FAMILY DOWNSIDE,
I AGREED WE'D GO
AFTER HIM HARD.

A MIRACLE--
HALF OUR BASE
RUNS THE OTHER WAY.

DO WE MAKE THAT UP
SELLING AT SHRINES?

I'M HERE TO TRY
TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

AND I'M YOUR HIRE, LINC.

I'M SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU
WHEN PEOPLE AREN'T HAPPY.

SOME PEOPLE NEVER ARE.
TELL THEM TO GO
FUCK THEMSELVES.

YEAH, I THOUGHT
I WOULDN'T DO THAT TILL
AFTER THEY BOUGHT US OUT.

LET'S GO DEAL
WITH THESE CLONES.

CAN I HANG
A COUPLE DAYS?

I GET YOU TO TIJUANA,
THE KID CAN HEAR
OUR CONFESSION.

LUCKY COINCIDENCE.

ARE WE HAPPY,
WONDER BOY,

WHEN DOMESTIC SALES
ARE LEVEL?

LEVEL IS ON PLAN
FOR THE QUARTER.

WAIT A SECOND--
TREADING WATER IS
GETTING READY TO DROWN.

- THE SALMON
MAKES ME THIRSTY.
- GET A DRINK.

LEVEL'S ON PLAN
'CAUSE DOMESTIC'S
A MATURING MARKET.

AND DO WE SUPPOSE
THAT DOMESTICS HAVE MATURED
DUE TO E-COMMERCE?

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'D
MEASURE CORRELATION.

WE DON'T HAVE
AN M.C. PARADIGM?

NO.

SO WHAT WILL YOU DO,
GRAB YOUR BALLS
AND GUESS?

DID I DO SOMETHING
TO PISS YOU OFF?

- EAT YOUR BUFFET.
- I'D LIKE TO SIT DOWN.

GO AHEAD.

YOU CALL THAT
SITTING DOWN?

I WANT TO GO BACK
TO THE TABLE.

THIS IS WHY I HIRED
WONDER BOY--

HE JUST COMES RIGHT
FROM HIS FUCKING GUT.

- WHAT ARE WE
DOING HERE, LINC?
- I'M NOT 100% CLEAR.

MAYBE YOU'D LIKE
TO GOOGLE IT AND FIND OUT.

IF THIS IS A REFERENDUM
ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY,

- OUR TARGET
DEMOGRAPHIC'S FOR IT.
- OH, SO THAT SHIP HAS SAILED?

THE BEST WE CAN DO IS HOPE
TO JUMP ONBOARD? DOES THAT
SUMMARIZE YOUR POSITION?

IF YOU'RE TREADING WATER,
YOU'RE GETTING READY
TO DROWN.

IF I'M TREADING WATER,
FUCKFACE,

I AM NOT SWIMMING
TOWARD A SHIP THAT
HAS SET SAIL

AND BEGGING THEM TO
PULL ME IN THEIR DINGHY.

IF I GOT
A SURFBOARD BESIDE ME,
I'M GETTING ON THAT FUCKER

AND I'M PADDLING OUT,
TURNING AROUND

AND FLIPPING THE BIRD
TO ALL THE ASSHOLES
ON THAT SHIP.

AND MAYBE 3% OF THEM
WEREN'T SURE

THEY EVER WANTED
TO BE ON THAT BOAT
TO BEGIN WITH.

AND SOME OF THEM--
THEY'RE DIVING OFF.

NOW THEM-- THEM,
I GIVE THEM A BIG
FUCKING SMILE,

I RIDE UP TO THEM
ON MY BOARD

AND SAY,
"HEY, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE
TO BUY ONE JUST LIKE IT?

OR MY JOCKSTRAP
OR MY BOARDSHORTS,

WETSUIT, SKI JACKET,
SNOWBOARD

THAT I ALWAYS
TAKE WITH ME
WHEN I'M SURFING?

I AM SUCH A TREMENDOUS

BOARDSHORT-WETSUIT-
SKI-JACKET-SNOWBOARD
RIPPER."

WHAT I'M NOT IS
A FUCKING ASSHOLE

WITH ALLERGIES
TRAPPED ON A BOAT

OR JERKING OFF
TO THE INTERNET

LIKE 97% OF MY
TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC.

AND THE UPSIDE
FOR ME IS,

I LIKE BEING
ON THE WATER.

SO IF YOU'RE
NOT TOO SALTY
FROM YOUR SALMON,

MAYBE I CAN INTEREST YOU
IN A LITTLE HAM.

- GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK.
- OKAY, WE'RE DONE.

I'LL BE
IN IMPERIAL BEACH
TILL FURTHER NOTICE.

( quietly )
I'LL TELL YOU
SOMETHING ELSE:

THAT KID WAS SAVED
BY A MIRACLE.

WHAT ROOM IS SHE IN?

244.

YEAH, IT'S YOUR WIFE,
MITCH,

CISSY YOST.

WELL, IF YOU'RE NOT DEAD,
JUST A QUICK MESSAGE
TO GO FUCK YOURSELF

FOR NOT CHECKING IN
TO SAY YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

AND HAVE
LOADS OF FUN

ON WHATEVER BEACH
OR WHATEVER ASTRAL PLANE
YOU'RE ON.

( shivering )
HI.

USE THE CAFE
ACROSS THE STREET.

EXCUSE ME?

OUR TOILETS
ARE FOR EMPLOYEES.
GO ACROSS THE STREET.

MY QUESTION,
OR MY DESIRE, WAS--

HOW LONG HAS THAT
INK STORE BEEN OPEN?

WE DON'T SELL BONGS.

WE DON'T SELL INCENSE
OR ROLLING PAPERS.

A GOOD REPUTATION,
THAT PETE, HMM?

NO FATALITIES?

WE'RE NOT
A WALK-IN CLINIC.

THE SALAMANDER
WAS HIGHLY VALUED

IN CERTAIN...

EXTINCT ISLAND TRIBES.

GOD DAMN IT!

MY NAME IS MARK LEWINSKY.
I'M AN ATTORNEY.

- IS THIS SOME
SLIP-AND-FALL BULLSHIT?
- HARDLY, MADAM.

AM I POINTING
AT MY NECK?

IS IT PAINFULLY SWOLLEN
AND INFLAMED?

IT'S RED.

TATTOO-- A TRIBUTE
TO MY EMPLOYER,

POSSIBLY... FATAL.

I AM A COUNSEL
FOR MERCY HOSPITAL,

THE PLACE THAT SAVED
YOUR GRANDSON'S LIFE,

AND I JUST
NEED ONE SIGNATURE
TO CLOSE SHAUN'S FILE.

ALL RIGHT,
GIVE ME A PEN.

CERTAINLY.

MEREST OF FORMALITIES--

DEPARTURE AGAINST
MEDICAL ADVICE.

( Palaka
breathing heavily )

HERE I GO.
HERE I GO.

TAKE OFF.

YOU WON'T HAVE
TO ASK ME TWICE.

GET OUT.
YOU'RE GIVING ME
A BAD FUCKING FEELING.

CAN'T WE AT LEAST
ACCOMPLISH OUR LITTLE BIT
OF WRIST BUSINESS HERE?

GET OUT OF MY STORE
OR YOU'RE GONNA GET
KICKED IN THE BALLS.

FINE. FINE.

- MA, IS THAT YOU?
- SHUT UP.

THEY SENT ME HOME, MA.

PRINCIPAL SENT ME HOME.

STRANGE WAY TO SHOW
YOUR APPRECIATION,
MRS. YOST,

TO THE HOSPITAL
THAT SAVED YOUR GRANDSON.

BILL'S BIRD
SAVED MY GRANDSON.

AND I'M SHOWING THIS FORM
TO MEYER DICKSTEIN.

OH YEAH, THE ERROL FLYNN
LOOK-ALIKE ON THE BACK COVER
OF THE YELLOW PAGES.

OH, YOU SURE
YOU WANNA GO THERE,
FRANKENSTEIN?

OH...

YOU GOT ANYBODY
I COULD CALL?

NO, I CAN BOIL
MY OWN TOAST.

( knocks on door )

YEAH?

I'M A FRIEND
OF LINC STARK'S.

AND?

AND I WORK FOR HIM.

I'M VICE PRESIDENT
OF HIS COMPANY,
JAKE PHORT.

WHAT DO YOU WANT
FROM ME?

( sighs )

LINC'S HAVING SOME SORT
OF MIDLIFE CRISIS.

AND YOU'RE HERE
TO HELP HIM THROUGH IT?

10:30 IN THE MORNING,
NO WONDER THEY'RE
GOING BROKE.

HEY, WHERE IS EVERYONE?

SHE OPENED UP
AND THEN SHE SPLIT

WITH SOME LITTLE GUY
IN HER CAR.

WHAT'S GOING ON,
SHAUNIE?

NOTHING.
THE SHOP'S LOCKED UP.

PUT THE JOINT OUT.

YOU KNOW DWAYNE?

HOW'S IT GOING?

- HOW'S IT GOING, SHAUN?
- DWAYNE WANTS TO
TALK TO YOU

ABOUT SOME INFORMATIONAL
SUPERHIGHWAY SHIT.

COULD WE DO IT
ANOTHER TIME?

- GIVE US A SECOND, DWAYNE.
- WE CAN DO IT ANOTHER TIME.

STAND BY THE BICYCLES.

HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH TALKING TO HIM NOW?

I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT.

DON'T GIVE ME
THAT SMART LOOK

WHEN YOU'RE SITTING HERE
SMOKING WHEN SOMEONE
WANTS TO HELP YOU.

THAT GUY FROM STINKWEED
WANTED TO HELP.

YOU WOULDN'T LET ME
SIGN WITH HIM.

THE FUCK IF I WOULDN'T.
WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

I HAVEN'T SEEN LINC STARK
SINCE YOU GOT HURT, SHAUN.

IT'S BEEN A BUSY
COUPLE OF DAYS.

SO ARE YOU SAYING
I CAN SIGN WITH THEM?

LITTLE WEED ON YOUR BRAIN,
YOU GET A REAL SMARTASS
TONE OF VOICE GOING.

THAT GUY LOOKS
LIKE A TOOL.

THAT'S JUST GREAT, SHAUNIE.
HURT A PERSON'S FEELINGS COMES
LOOKING TO HELP YOU.

I DIDN'T SAY IT
SO HE COULD HEAR.

WHY DON'T YOU
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?

YEAH, GOOD,
GREAT, FINE, OKAY?
IF I SEE LINC STARK,

I'LL TELL HIM
TO COME SIGN YOU.

OH YEAH, I FORGOT,
YOU SIGNED ME OVER
TO GRAM AND GRAMPS.

TELL HIM
TO GO TALK TO THEM.

YEAH, GOOD.
LET ME GET AWAY.

ME BEING A FUCK-UP
DOESN'T MEAN I SHOULDN'T
TRY TO GIVE YOU GOOD ADVICE.

IS MY MOM
STAYING IN I.B.?

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE YOU COULD
GIVE HER SOME GOOD ADVICE
AND ASK HER TO STAY.

HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

YEAH, LOOKS LIKE
HE'S DOING GREAT.

THAT LITTLE PISSPOT.

SO WHAT SHOULD WE
DO NOW?

WELL, DWAYNE,
I GUESS YOU'RE GONNA GET

YOUR DIPSHIT SCOOTER
OUT OF MY VAN.

YEAH, WE CAN
WORK THIS OUT LATER.

AND I'M GONNA GET
GOOD AND FUCKING HIGH.

WHERE ARE YOU, KAI?
THE SHOP'S LOCKED.

SHAUNIE'S OUT BACK
SMOKING WEED.

FIND A FUCKING
SHORTER JINGLE!

( engine roars )

( knocks on door )

ROOM SERVICE?

A REALLY GOOD FRIEND
OF YOURS WANTS TO PAY ME
TO RUIN YOUR LIFE.

( sighing )

DOESN'T WORK.

DOESN'T WORK EITHER.

IS IT CHILLY IN HERE, MA?

HE'S BURNING UP...

MAYBE FROM YOUR
HOT GARLIC BREATH.

WHY DON'T YOU GET OUT
OF THE LINE OF FIRE?

WELL, TWIST MY
FUCKING ARM.

BOSS, PURPLE SALAMANDER,

HONORING
A CERTAIN SOMEONE.

IF YOURS HADN'T HAVE
COME OUT GREEN,

I'D BE HAVING MINE
BURNED OFF

AS TO NOT GET US TOOK
FOR THE BOBBSEY TWINS.

I WAS POISONED
AND MISCOLORED?

- RIGHT UP HERE.
- EXCUSE ME.

OKAY, WE HAVE DOCKED.

IS THAT
THE TORTURING MURDERER
THAT CASTED MY WRIST?

IT'S ME, PALAKA.

I AM FUCKED UP, DOC,
TO A FARE-THEE-WELL.

HEY, THANK GOD ME AND YOU
BECAME FRIENDS, HUH?

- YEAH.
- WHAT DOES HE NEED?
I'LL RUN TO THE PHARMACY.

LET'S GET HIM
EXAMINED FIRST.

WHAT IS THAT?

THERE.

WHEN DID YOU GET
THAT TATTOO, PALAKA?

UH, TODAY, YEAH.

- WHEN DID HE GET THIS?
- HE TOLD YOU-- TODAY.

YEAH, I'M ASKING WHEN.

HE CAME IN MY STORE,
LIKE, AN HOUR AGO,

SAID HE'D JUST
GOT INKED.

WE'RE GONNA NEED TO GET
SOME ANTIBIOTICS INTO YOU.

WON'T BE
THE FIRST TIME, DOC.

I BEEN BATTING CLEAN-UP
SINCE LITTLE LEAGUE.

WE'RE GONNA NEED
MORE ROOM.

HERE, COME HERE.
COME ON.

THIS WALL DOES NEED
TO COME OUT.

COME ON.
GET OUT OF THE WAY.
PUT HIM IN MY ROOM.

I HAVE AN ACCOUNT
AROUND THE CORNER.

- CVS?
- I'M HAPPY TO GET
THAT FILLED.

NO, HE NEEDS AN I.V.
AND A FEW OTHER THINGS.

I WANT TO SEE
WHAT THEY HAVE STOCKED.

YOU THINKING OF GOING
ANYTIME SOON?

I UNDERSTAND
YOU'RE CONCERNED.

I'M NOT CONCERNED.

I'LL TELL YOU WHEN
I'M FUCKING CONCERNED.

NICE WORKING WITH YOU.

TOMMY TURTLE'S A BLUR
COMPARED TO THAT FUCKHEAD.

WILE E. COYOTE'S A BLUR.
THE ROAD RUNNER'S
A FUCKING BLUR.

JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH, OKAY?

YOU'RE GOING TO BE FINE.

THANKS, MA.

HELLO!
HELLO. COME IN.

JUST MISSED
FEEDING TIME.

BIRDSEED.

CAN I OFFER YOU A SODA?

TWINKIES?

- NO, THANKS.
- I SEE.

- BIRDS ARE GOOD.
- ( squawks )

I WISH ZIPPY
WOULDN'T HAVE KISSED ME.

OKAY.

HEY, OKAY.

OKAY, GOODNESS' SAKES.

OH, I CAN'T SEE.

AND I WOULDN'T
UNDERSTAND IT ANYWAY.

WHAT DID MITCH THINK?

MITCH IS MAINTAINING
RADIO SILENCE.

FUCKING DICKSTEIN
WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO.

PROBABLY IN SOME ASHRAM
IN THE DOWNWARD DOG POSITION.

HELLO.

HOW ARE YOU?

WHY WOULD THEY WANT ME
TO SIGN THAT?

SHE'S ALREADY SHOWED IT
TO ME, FUCKIN' DOUCHE BAG.

- BUTCHIE'S FUCKING
KAI'S BRAINS OUT.
- GOOD.

NOT THAT ANYONE COMES IN,
SHE'S NEVER AT FUCKING WORK.

SHAUNIE COULD USE
SPENDING TIME WITH HER.

HIS BUDDIES
STILL TEASING HIM
AFTER THE ACCIDENT?

THIS IS A BOILERPLATE
FOR YOU.

THE DOCTOR'S
THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB.

TYPICALLY, THE HALO EFFECT
IN THESE DOCUMENTS

BATHES THE PHYSICIAN
IN THE HOSPITAL'S LIGHT.

THIS ABSOLVES THE HOSPITAL,
BUT YOUR RIGHT OF ACTION

AGAINST THE DOCTOR
IS NOT IMPAIRED.

THE HARELIP'S GOING ON
AND ON ABOUT WHAT HE'S
TALKING ABOUT.

- WHAT HARELIP?
- I'VE WARNED HIM OFF

- TALKING ABOUT MIRACLES UNTIL
THE ALTAR BOYS ARE SAFE.
- WHAT HARELIP?

THAT SITS THERE EVERY DAY,
DICKSTEIN,

PRETENDING TO MAKE A LIFE
OUT OF MAINTAINING
BUTCHIE'S WEBSITE.

AND HE'S SO EXCITED
HOW SHAUNIE'S ACCIDENT

AFFECTED HIS HALO EFFECT,
WHATEVER THE FUCK
HE'S ON ABOUT,

I'M AFRAID TO LET HIM
OUT ON THE STREET

ON THAT STUPID SCOOTER
HE FUCKING DRIVES.

THE NUMBER OF HITS
ON BUTCHIE'S SITE--

THE HALO EFFECT.

WHAT THE FUCK
WAS I JUST SAYING?

43 DAYS IN ARREARS.

82 DAYS
IN ARREARS FOR YOU.

I GOT AN ARREARS FOR YOU
RIGHT HERE, DORIS.

DON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN
TO THAT DOCTOR.

THAT MAY NOT BE
IN OUR HANDS.

HOW DO YOU LIVE
IN HERE?

OH, THANK YOU.

SOUP-TO-NUTS RENOVATION
IN THE OFFING.

WELL, YOU OUGHTA OFF IT
PRETTY FUCKING SOON.

I'LL USE THIS ROLLAWAY
IN CASE WHAT YOU GOT
IS TRANSFERABLE.

I'LL BRING IN
FRESH SHEETS.

STOP ANSWERING
IF I'M TALKING TO HIM.

DON'T YOU FUCKING DIE.

Jake:
COULD YOU TELL ME
YOUR NAME, WHERE YOU LIVE

AND YOUR MARITAL STATUS?

TINA BLAKE,
VAN NUYS, SINGLE.

- VAN NUYS, CALIFORNIA?
- RIGHT.

DO YOU HAVE
ANY CHILDREN, TINA?

ONE--
SHAUN YOST.

I GAVE HIM AWAY
THE DAY HE WAS BORN.

AND DO YOU KNOW
WHO SHAUN'S FATHER WAS?

YEAH, I FUCKING KNOW
WHO HIS FATHER IS--

BUTCHIE YOST.

I LEFT SHAUNIE
WITH BUTCHIE'S PARENTS.

WHAT DO YOU DO
FOR A LIVING?

ADULT FILM ACTRESS.

DO YOU KNOW
LINC STARK?

YES.

- HOW DID YOU MEET HIM?
- HE PICKED ME UP.

DO YOU HAVE A CONTRACTUAL
ARRANGEMENT WITH LINC STARK
INVOLVING YOUR SON SHAUN YOST?

HE'S OFFERED ME
A CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENT.

- WHAT ARE THE TERMS?
- $4,000 A MONTH WHILE
SHAUN'S UNDER CONTRACT.

- TO STINKWEED?
- YEAH.

HAVE YOU HAD
SEXUAL RELATIONS
WITH LINC STARK?

I'M NOT GONNA
TALK ABOUT THAT.

HAVE YOU EVER
BEEN ARRESTED?

YES.

- WHAT WAS THE CHARGE?
- ACCESSORY TO EXTORTION.

- AND DID THAT
INVOLVE BLACKMAIL?
- I WAS ACQUITTED.

- I BET THAT HAD TO BE
A BIG RELIEF.
- ARE WE DONE?

CAN BE.

( sighs )

YOU EVER DO DRUGS
WITH LINC?

ARE YOU ASKING ME
TO FIB?

ARE YOU ASKING ME
TO WRITE YOU ANOTHER CHECK?

AL'S CAR IS RED.

I MEAN, IF HE WAS
REALLY SICK,

YOU'D TAKE HIM
TO THE HOSPITAL, RIGHT?

I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER

HOW I PRACTICED
BEFORE I MET YOU.

WAS IT WITHOUT
A FRACTURED SKULL?

( huffing )
SOME OF THE ICE

IS YELLOW WITH RUST
FROM THE MACHINE.

- IT'S ALL RIGHT.
- WE DON'T HAVE TO USE IT.

THE YELLOW IS SEGREGATED
IN THE SILVER PAIL.

JUST DUMP IT ALL
IN THE TUB.

NOW...

A LITTLE PIN STICK.

OH, CHRIST.

( drumming fingers )

( sighs )

HOW'S OUR PATIENT?

IT'S A HOLDING ACTION.

WE HAVE TO LET
THE ANTIBIOTICS KICK IN.

WAS THAT ALL OVERDONE
ABOUT CIGARETTES?

NO.

( chuckles )

IN ANY CASE,
I NOW HAVE SOME SENSE

HOW THE GREAT ASTAIRE FELT
THE DAY HE PUT ON TAP SHOES.

( brakes screech )

WELL, THEY'RE
ALWAYS LOOKING
FOR CANDY STRIPERS.

YEAH.

WHAT?
YOU'RE SHITTING ME.

COULD I GET ONE OF THOSE
THIMBLEFULS?

YES, RAMON.

- ORANGE JUICE?
- NO, THANKS.

OR, WELL, YES.

THANK YOU.

EXCUSE ME.

PLEASE, RAMON,
HAVE ANOTHER.

AND KNOW THAT I DO NOT RISE
TO YOUR TAUNT ABOUT MY CUPS

BECAUSE I AM ALL NURSE.

BUTCHIE'S ABOUT
TO GET CAUGHT WRONG.

ISN'T HE ALONE
IN THERE?

( knocks on door )

GOT YOUR MESSAGE--
SHORTENED MY JINGLE.

COULDN'T FIND SHAUNIE.

I COPPED.
I DIDN'T USE.

I DIDN'T WANT TO USE.

I THINK IT'S OFF ME.

AW, GIVE ME A BREAK.

IS IT SOUND JUDGMENT,
PALAKA,

TREATING YOU HERE,

OR FEAR OF HUMILIATION?

RESIGNING MY POSITION
TO SHIELD THAT BOY--

GRAND
SELF-SACRIFICIAL GESTURE--
THAT WAS ONE THING.

I'LL GO WEEKS WITHOUT
SELLING A SHERBET.

NOT MUCH GRANDEUR
FOR ME

STEERING YOU
INTO THE E.R.

LIKE SOME DEFROCKED
STOREFRONT OPERATOR

WAITING HAT-IN-HAND
FOR A RESIDENT

TO DECIDE
TO ADMIT YOU.

I PRAY TO GOD THAT'S NOT
WHAT HOLDS ME BACK.

NOW NOW, MA.

LET ME AVOID THIS LADY'S
TONE OF VOICE.

HAVE YOU SEEN
MEYER DICKSTEIN?

NO, MA'AM.

HE HASN'T ARRIVED YET.

ARE THEY FUCKING
IN THERE?

HARD TO SAY.

WHAT AN HOUR
HAS WROUGHT.

WATER, SAND AND MUD
WHEN YOU DELIVERED
OUR PATIENT--

NOW ABOUT TO BECOME
CONCRETE.

HOW IS THAT GUY?

WELL, WE ARE WAITING
FOR THE ANTIBIOTICS
TO KICK IN.

ARE THEY FUCKING
IN THERE?

THE MEREST BEGINNING
OF OUR RENOVATION.

I'M LOOKING
FOR MEYER DICKSTEIN.

YES, WELL,
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.

I SAW YOU OUT IN THE WATER
THIS MORNING.

YEAH?

I GOT YOUR BOARDS
OUTSIDE.

( phone ringing )

EVERY CALL I MAKE,
AFTERWARDS I GOTTA
USE CUTICLE SCISSORS.

It's Butchie.
Leave a message.

BUTCHIE, MESSAGE
FROM BILL JACKS.

SHAUNIE'S OVER HERE
WITH ME,

SO YOU MAY WANNA CALL
OR JUST, YOU KNOW,
GET OVER HERE.

VOICEMAIL.
NOT THERE.

NOW...

HERE'S A BOOK THAT
DEALS WITH ANNIVERSARIES

OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE DEAD.

YOU SEE?
THERE'S VARIOUS CHAPTERS,

HELPING THE BEREAVED
BE AT EASE.

NOW WHAT IN GOD'S NAME
THIS HAS TO DO WITH YOU--

- 13 YEARS OLD?
- 14.

14 YEARS OF AGE.

AND THANK GOD
YOU'VE LOST NO ONE

TO FEEL GRIEF
OVER THE ANNIVERSARY OF.

NOW...

I'D LIKE TO SAY THIS:

PEOPLE ARE SAD
FOR VARIOUS REASONS

AND SOMETIMES AN OUTSIDE
SOURCE IS REQUIRED

EVEN TO HELP THEM
KNOW THEY FEEL SAD...

OR IF THEY KNOW,

THEN OFFER
HELPFUL HINTS

AND SUGGESTIONS,
WAYS TO DEAL WITH
THE PROBLEM,

WHICH IS WHY
I SHOWED YOU
THE BOOK.

CAN I BE FRANK
WITH YOU?

SURE, BILL.

YOU REEK
OF MARIJUANA SMOKE.

I SMOKED A JOINT TODAY.

AND YOU TELL ME THAT
WITHOUT SHYNESS
OR REMORSE.

THAT DOCTOR IS ABOUT
TO GET AN ASS-FUCKING
FROM HIS HOSPITAL.

- HEY, CISSY.
- YEAH, GOOD TO SEE YA.

I REMEMBER WHEN WE USED
TO MEET AT WORK.

I FEEL LIKE A DUCK
AT AS SHOOTING GALLERY.

HEY, MA.

HID 'EM BEFORE I COULD
SELL 'EM.

( phone beeping )

Bill's voice:
Shaunie's over here
with me,

so you may wanna call
or just, you know,
get over here.

IT'S BILL.
SHAUN'S THERE.

I MAY TAKE A RIDE
OVER THERE.

DID YOU TELL
THE DOCTOR?

NO.
GO AHEAD.

ABOUT THE ASS-FUCKING?

- WHOA WHOA WHOA.
- DON'T DO NOTHING
STUPID, DOC.

NO, HE NEEDS TO BE
IN THAT ICE BATH.

IF THAT'S WHAT HE NEEDS,
THEN THE REGULAR DOCTORS

- WILL ICE HIM
AT THE FUCKING HOSPITAL.
- I AM A REGULAR DOCTOR,

AND THESE ARE JUST
THE SEVERAL HOURS

THAT YOUR FRIEND
SHOULDN'T BE SUBJECTED
TO THE DISRUPTIONS

INVOLVED IN BEING
ADMITTED TO A HOSPITAL

TO RESUME TREATMENT
HE'S ALREADY GETTING.

FUCK YOU.
OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR.

OH, ANOTHER COUNTY
HEARD FROM.

YOU'RE FUCKING LUCKY
I GOT MY HANDS FULL.

TAKE HIM BACK INSIDE.

THANKSGIVING.
MAKE A WISH.

ALL YOUR SMARTASS
FUCKING TALK--

IT WAS ME THAT BROKE
HIS FUCKING WRIST.

IT WAS A DIRTY NEEDLE
GOT YOUR FRIEND SICK,
NOT A BROKEN WRIST.

STOP TRYING TO FORCE
AN OUTCOME 'CAUSE YOU'RE
UPSET FOR YOUR FRIEND.

( grunting )

QUICK REVIEW--
HOW TO PUT PEOPLE
AT THEIR EASE?

I'M GOOD.

( knocks on door )

( whispering ) UPSTAIRS.
TALK AMONGST YOURSELVES.

TWINKIES,
SODA AND THE LIKE.

- HEY, DAD.
- HEY, SHAUNIE.

WHERE'S BILL?

HE WENT UPSTAIRS.

OH, RIGHT ON.

YOU CAN GO AHEAD
AND SIT DOWN, DAD.

PRETTY PISSED?

HIT ME, BUDDY.
COME ON.

I WANT TO GO BACK
TO NORMAL.

I'M WITH YOU, BROTHER.

WHAT'S FUCKED UP
ABOUT IT IS,

AS MUCH AS IT PISSES YOU OFF,
THE HAND THAT YOU WERE DEALT
AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE...

MINE, YOUR GRAM'S,
GRAMPS'S.

MY MOM'S.

OR YOUR MOM'S
OR ANY-FUCKING-BODY ELSE'S.

SO FIGHTING IT
ONLY GETS YOUR ASS KICKED.

SO IF YOU CAN LEARN
THAT NOW INSTEAD OF
20 YEARS FROM NOW,

FUCK.

YOU KNOW, JUST SMACK ME
IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT
GETTING IN THE WATER.

YOU'VE BEEN GOING OUT.

GETTING IN
THE WAY I USED TO.

COMPETING?

I DON'T KNOW.
I GUESS, MAYBE.

YOU WANNA RUN BY GRAM'S
AND GRAB YOUR STUFF,

TRADE A FEW,
SEE WHO BUSTS BIGGER?

IF YOU CAN HANDLE
BEING DUSTED.

THAT'S NOT GONNA BE
AN ISSUE, GROM.

THANKS FOR THE ROOM, BILL.

SHAUN AND I
ARE GONNA GO GET WET.

FINE.
GOOD.

- THANKS, BILL.
- FINE.

Jake:
STINKWEED'S
IN GREAT SHAPE.

YOU'RE THE
FUCKING MESS.

LINC, THE MONEY
WANTS YOU OUT.

I'M YOUR FRIEND.

YOU MADE THE COMPANY.
I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU GO

WITH YOUR POCKETS FULL,
BUT...

YOU ARE GOING, LINC.

BUY YOU OUT,
THROW YOU OUT,

BLOW YOU OUT--

THEY'LL PLAY IT
THE WAY IT FUCKING LAYS.

- ( clicks )
- Tina's voice:
Yeah, I fucking know

who his father is--
Butchie Yost.

I left Shaunie
with Butchie's parents.

Jake's voice:
And what do you do
for a living?

Adult film actress.

- Do you know linc stark?
- Yes.

- How did you meet him?
- He picked me up.

And do you have
a contractual arrangement
with Linc Stark

involving your son
Shaun Yost?

- He's offered me
a contractual arrangement.
- ( clicks )

SHE'S HIS MOTHER.
THE COMPANY WANTS HIM.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PLAY
THE REST OF THE TAPE
FOR YOU, LINC.

GO AHEAD.

NO. I'VE BEEN
YOUR FRIEND TOO LONG.

MAYBE IT'S WHAT
I NEED TO HEAR.
DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO.

NO, LINC.
I WANT YOU TO LEAVE
THE COMPANY

SO I CAN GIVE YOU
THE TAPE.

YOU CAN DO
WHATEVER THE FUCK
YOU WANT WITH IT

AND YOU CAN
WALK AWAY RICH.

- ( clicks )
- Tina's voice:
Are you asking me to fib?

Jake's voice:
Are you asking me
to write you another check?

- 'Cause I will
if you will.
- ( clicks )

ISN'T THAT A FELONY
IN THIS STATE--

OFFERING SOMEONE MONEY
TO LIE?

WHAT'S THEIR NUMBER
TO BUY ME OUT?

( clears throat )

$35 MILLION.

$65.

WITH A FIVE-YEAR
NO-COMPETE...

AND YOU GIVE ME
THAT TAPE.

OKAY.

MONEY WANT THE YES
ON TAPE?

( laughs )

I HOPE
YOU'RE NOT SAYING
THEY DON'T TRUST ME.

WATCH YOUR BACK
WITH WONDER BOY.

Linc:
PRETTY LADY
FEEDING THE BIRDS.

HOW DID THAT GO?

TURNED THE TABLES
ON THAT COCKSUCKER,

THANKS TO YOUR
WILY WAYS.

THEN I AGREED
TO GET BOUGHT OUT,

WHICH IS WHAT
THEY'D SENT HIM TO DO.

$65 MILLION.

BONUS IS, I GET
TO BE SCARED TO DEATH.

IS THAT A CHANGE?

MAYBE NOT.
MAYBE NOT.

FOR A MILLION,
CAN I HOLD YOUR HAND?

WHEN I STRIKE,
IT'S GONNA BE
FOR THE BIG MONEY.

( rhythmic drumming )

John:
CISSY YOST.

HEY, CAPTAIN KIRK.

YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT
BEING MORE MISERABLE.

GETTING DUSTED
WON'T BE AN ISSUE.

DON'T GET HIT
BY A BUS.

"I KNOW I AM GETTING
BETTER AND STRONGER

WHEN I CAN BE ALONE
AT HOME

EVEN THOUGH
THE PERSON WHO DIED
IS NO LONGER THERE."

WHERE ELSE
AM I GONNA BE?

"MEMORIES OF THE PERSON
WHO DIED

MAKE ME SMILE,
NOT CRY."

WELL, THAT ONE'S EASIER
SAID THAN DONE.

"I LAUGH AT MY FRIENDS'
STUPID JOKES."

I DON'T HAVE
ANY FRIENDS.

"I MAKE STUPID JOKES."

WELL, I TRY
TO AMUSE THE KID.

I MEAN
I'M NOT A COMEDIAN.

"M.D."--
IT'S NOT LIKE I'M
A DOCTOR OR ANYTHING.

( chuckles )

DALE, VENI, DALE.

- WHAT'S THAT?
- I DON'T KNOW.

Ramon:
OKAY, THIS IS FOR FREE,

FOR NOTHING.

( playing out of tune )

SHAPE CHANGER.

OH, YEAH?

IF THEY WEREN'T
LOOKING TO EMBARRASS
THE POOR GIRL,

THEY'D BLUR OUT
WHERE HER DRESS CAME UP.

GRACIAS, GRACIAS.

( speaking Spanish )

Barry:
OH, GRACIAS.

( Ramon continues in Spanish )

Dickstein:
OH, SI. GRACIAS.

Ramon: SALUD.

All: SALUD.

SHAUN WILL SOON BE GONE.

Linc:
HOW MUCH IS THAT WORTH?

'CAUSE THE BIG MONEY
IS STAYING IN ESCROW

FOR WHOEVER CAN TELL ME
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON.
