A big party?

Big party up there.

Oh, yeah.

And then you fly around

some more?

Now that's the whole idea

behind it.

It's a big party.

And you're getting with

your old friends, and even,

even those that aren't

too friendly with you.

The people

that are responsible

for the end of the world:

How do you feel about them?

Well, the people

that are responsible...

Hopefully it'll backtrack

on them,

and they'll get the same

treatment that they gave

to the ones that they

subjected to that fate.

Hey.

Hi.

Hang on.

I just got to open this up.

There we go.

Oh, baby.

I'm not very technological.

There we go.

How you doing?

I'm all right.

Yeah?

And your mother?

You know her.

She's acting like nothing's

gonna happen tonight.

She's acting like

everybody's stupid.

What's with her?

She thinks I'm stupid.

She's... she's in denial.

Well, listen.

She's your mother,

so that's just the way it is,

okay?

Okay.

How's Skye?

She's all right.

What are you gonna do tonight?

Oh, um, Lena's

coming over to stay.

And her mom?

She can't stand her.

Besides, her boyfriend's over.

It'll be better for her

over here.

Um, I don't know.

We'll play some video games.

You say hi to her for me,

okay?

I've always liked her.

She's doing all right?

She says she doesn't want

to die a virgin.

Guess it's too late for that.

Dad, don't cry.

I'm sorry.

Because you're gonna

make me cry,

and I did my makeup

perfect.

I'm sorry.

I miss you.

I miss you too, Dad.

J.J.

J.J., you have to let

your friend in downstairs.

Here comes Morticia Addams.

Yeah.

Hurry up, J.J.

Hi.

She's locked out

downstairs, honey.

The doorman's not there.

You're gonna have to hurry up

before something happens

to her.

Go on.

She's downstairs.

See ya, hon.

Hon.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Look, you should not be

upsetting her like that.

How can you be so selfish?

Seriously.

You gonna be angry still?

Now?

I didn't leave.

It was you that didn't stay.

I... I didn't stay?

Who ran off with the teenager?

I didn't run off.

It was you.

It was your pride.

If you would've just

hung in there,

everything would have

been different.

Yeah, different.

I'll tell you different.

Yeah, tell me.

Your daughter would have had

a father instead of some guy

who didn't even really care

about her.

I cared!

Never.

- I...

- When?

I cared.

I didn't want to leave.

I'm a guy that sticks.

It was you that didn't want me.

I... I was...

I was so, so confused.

And you just had to be

a little more patient with me,

but you were too scared.

You were...

you were too anxious.

Anxious?

What... what...

you know what?

You need to just

to grow the f*** up.

Grow up!

You think...

You think I love her more

than I love you?

You think I love my family...

Calm down!

Calm the f*** down!

You don't understand.

Get away from me!

Stay, stay, stay, stay.

No!

Don't go.

How could you?

Skye.

I need to speak to my mother!

Okay, but you

don't understand.

Hi.

Hello, darling.

Hi, Mom.

What's the matter?

I'm so glad you called.

He's such a jerk.

He was just telling her

that he loves her.

Doesn't he know

how much it hurts me?

And that b*tch,

she was just looking at me.

She was just laughing at me.

Well, was she at your house?

No, it was on the phone.

It was on Skype.

She's so ugly.

How can he be with such a woman?

It's all right.

He's with you now.

That's what matters.

I can't take him

sometimes, Mom.

I can't help it.

The whole system.

I don't believe in anything

that's going on.

And honestly,

I just can't stand all this,

and I don't want to

believe all what's going on.

I'm still gonna be hanging on,

you know, the fact that,

that, uh, you know, I mean...

I know that the world,

that the Chinese had an atomic

explosion 5,000 years ago.

I know that the world

will stay.

If we perish,

okay, we perish.

But then we live on as well,

so we live on.

But I'm just so angry

at all of this,

and I can just barely,

barely talk about it.

I want to scream

at those f***ers,

All those politicians and all

those rules and the PC world.

And, you know, I mean,

look at this smoking.

I can't even smoke anymore.

What's the matter with me?

You know, you can't smoke.

You can't smoke

in your own house.

You know, people denounce you.

If you throw a butt

on the ground,

you have to pay 50 quid.

It's outrageous.

I mean, what the f*** has

the world come to, you know?

I'm just, you know,

I'm just so upset.

Don't get upset now, Mom.

Really, please.

Deep down, you're at peace

in your heart.

I know, it's...

You've done the right things.

You've done your art.

You've done everything that you

can possibly do to have...

to have a faith in this world

that they've destroyed.

And I'm proud of you.

And I don't want

to see you sad.

I don't want to see you upset.

I don't want to see you...

you know,

I want to remember you happy.

I want to remember you

with a big smile on your face

and your little green eyes

and your little grin.

I love you.

I love you so much.

I love you.

I love you so much, Mom.

Yes, I love you.

- Good-bye.

- I love you.

Thank you for being my mom.

Just transcend that.

Just go to another sphere.

Yeah.

And we'll be all right.

Yeah, a better sphere.

Thank you for being my mom.

I love you.

I love you.

Hey, Javi.

Javi.

Yo, it's Cisco.

Oh, God.

Oh, right.

You scared me for a second.

Cisco!

What are you doing here?

Hey.

Hey, brother.

Good to see you.

Yeah, good to see you.

Come here.

Why didn't you use

the front door?

You're gonna get yourself killed

doing that.

Oh, sh*t.

I don't believe it.

No, I can't either, man.

I'm surprised to see you here.

Yeah, man.

Get him a chair.

Here.

Have a seat.

Thanks.

Tempting fate tonight.

What a surprise.

Yeah.

Good to see you.

You want something?

You want a...

we've got brandy.

Some water.

Yeah, please.

Yeah?

Thanks.

Sticking with it, huh?

Guess we're all here.

Want to look death in the eyes.

Looking good, buddy.

Good, good.

- Salud.

- Salud.

- To end times.

- To old friends.

How much time you got?

Uh, 23 days.

Awesome.

That's awesome.

And you?

Well, if things weren't

the way they are,

I'd have 20 years

end of next month.

- 20 years.

- Yeah.

If things weren't the way

they are.

Yeah, well, you know,

if we ain't gonna get high now,

we're never getting high.

Why not?

Why?

Have you got a good enough

reason to get high?

Tell me.

I'll get high with you.

How about...

how about, like,

the ending of the world?

Eh, no.

Not good enough.

The world's been ending

ever since it started, man.

You know, we've been ending

ever since we were born.

Don't take that sh*t

too seriously.

- I don't.

- Good.

I'm not sure I can take this

rap right now, man.

What rap?

I don't know.

I just feel you

winding up a little bit.

Who, me?

I'm not winding up.

I'm sitting here

with a f***ing choice, man.

You know,

the choice is for me,
