$50K and a Call Girl: A Love Story Page #8

Uh, you and your brother

kept this from me?

Yes, we did because we knew

you'd freak out.

Ok so... You've got that right.

I am freaking out.

Are you pregnant by any chance?

No, no.

- No!

Wait, there was...

- Oh, right...

- a night in Austin where we...

Uh, no, no, no, I don't want

to know about that.

Totally kidding, I don't--

Don't wanna know that one.

- No.

Okay...

- Umm...

I know--

Did she say congratulations?

- Uh, well...

- Seth she is not stoked.

- Yeah...

I think the congratulations

needs to wait a little bit.

In that, so....

What are you shooting here?

It's like a--

It's their wedding video.

The wedding video?

Oh, okay.

Do you think maybe you would have

let your Dad and I know about it?

Uh, it was a very

spontaneous thing.

- I guess, okay...

- Yeah, in Vegas.

Oh, okay.

You should show

her the pictures.

Yeah, we should and I would love

to show you those pictures,

but right now I am exhausted

and I just need to go

lie down for a minute.

Uh, but please know,

I am in love with this girl

and she is fantastic...

I will be happy to tell you the

entire story after I get up.

All right,

well go lie down and, uh...

she and I will sit

and talk for a while.

Oh...

Okay...

- Seth, do you want to tell

her what that voice means...

or should I?

- Yeah.

I'm super tired to and I would--

- Yeah, yeah.

Wow, wait 'til your Dad

hears this.

I... yeah...

Interesting...

So what the f***'s going on?

He looks awful.

He just, um...

We've just been like drinking

and traveling and stuff.

It's just a long time on the road

and he hurt his leg, it's not a big deal...

All right, well then,

we'll let him get some rest,

we'll cook out some steaks and

then...

you know, we'll just

hang out a little bit.

How'd the two

of you meet anyway?

Let's talk a little bit.

Uh, we actually...

Seth introduced us.

Okay.

How did you meet her, Seth?

Uh, at the...

- We were at the bar.

- ...the bar!

- At Tim's bar.

- At Tim's bar.

So...

Yeah, she was uh...

she was there with

some of her friends.

It was weird because she had just

gotten back from a deep sea dive

and she was still, uh...

feeling the effects

of the oxygen deprivation,

so I think Ross appeared

to her as a... as a catch.

And uh, when she recovered from

the, uh, oxygen deficiency,

it was too late.

Seth is telling a

bullshit story of how we met,

which is awesome.

Like, the oxygen deficiency...

See, this is why I won't

scuba dive 'cause, you know,

that sh*t will, you know,

mess up your mind.

Back home, grilling

steaks in the cold with Dad,

with Lauren in love

with me again...

Ross and Carly happy,

hopeful...

and Mom laughing.

I wanted to hold onto

this moment forever.

That was why I think Ross never

told them how sick he was.

He didn't want to ruin any more

of their days than he had to.

I'll take both dogs, too.

Oh, you will?

Can you tell him

to stop filming?

Yeah.

Hi... You have to stop filming.

What?

- You need to stop filming.

- Why?

The light is amazing right now.

- Yeah, you have to stop.

Can you just stop please?

I don't think I can stand.

You know, this is my favorite

place in the entire world.

Better than the Grand Canyon,

Vegas or Niagara Falls.

I don't think there's

anything better than just...

being home...

with your family, you know?

I haven't had that

in a lot of years.

Where are they?

They're all dead.

What happened?

My dad killed my mom

and my sister and himself.

Jesus Christ,

Carly I'm so sorry.

He tried to kill me too but...

I ran away.

How old were you?

I was 13.

My sister was 15.

Well you are part of the

family now, Mrs. Patterson.

So they're your family too.

I'm really tired.

I should get home and rest.

This was the last

shot I got of Ross on camera.

In the end, the stem cell

treatment didn't work.

I wanted to turn his death

into something else.

A work of art,

an experiment in cinema,

a consolation.

Instead...

it became this artifact.

And I'm still

digging through it,

trying to find my brother...

trying to find myself.
