This is day ten.

This is day ten and you're

still screaming like that?

I was... God... [sobs]

Dude.

Hey.

- Hey.

Tommy.

- I can't f***ing do this.

- It's gonna be okay.

[TJ] You can do it.

Just get through the day.

No, man. I'll f***ing call my ex and

have her f***ing come and get me.

This is f***ing

ridiculous, man.

Do you know how many

f***ing places I've been in?

Dude, it's okay.

Hey.

You got ten days.

I can't f***ing do this, man.

Dude, I can't either,

but I'm gonna try.

I'm almost at day 30.

Tuesday I'm leaving.

What are you

gonna f***ing do?

I don't know. Live life.

Go to meetings,

try and love my girlfriend.

Come on.

You're gonna go to meetings?

- Yeah.

- Like get a sponsor?

I'm not gonna get a sponsor,

but I'm gonna go to meetings.

I... but I can't do that, man.

Dude, I have done it, too.

This is my third time here.

Come on, mop.

They're pricks if you don't.

You don't even have

any water in here.

Yeah, I have water in there, I have to

f***ing mop. I don't have my shoes on.

Come on, dude,

you have to mop.

You're gonna feel better.

[TJ] This place

is a f***ing...

It's gonna get real hard

if you don't do your chores.

My name's TJ.

[TJ groaning] Oh, Jesus!

Guys, it's an emergency.

Take me to a gas station.

Man, he's almost here.

Where does Moshe

keep his dope?

It's either in the flower

drawer in the kitchen counter,

or sometimes he keeps it

in the speakers, you know,

inside the speakers

in the living room.

Which?

It's one or the other.

Well, I need specifics, man.

I don't want Christian pistol-whipping

his ass trying to get him to talk.

[TJ] Blake, go outside

and wait for him outside

and Tommy, take me

to a gas station.

Look, man, will you just go sh*t in

the f***ing bushes? Jesus Christ!

God damn it. Don't worry, we're not gonna

pistol-whip him unless we have to.

- What bushes?

- No pistol-whipping.

- What bushes?

- [cell phone bleeps]

Will you shut up? Man, all you do is

cause trouble and shoot f***ing drugs!

[TJ] I'm sorry, I'm

gonna sh*t my pants.

[Tommy] Yeah, well,

hold it, man. Hold it!

[TJ] I'm trying.

[Tommy] Would you f***ing just f***ing

go sh*t in the corner if you want to.

- [TJ] I can't sh*t out there.

- He's not coming.

[Tommy] What?

Who's not coming?

Christian, man, Christian.

He's not coming.

He got into a fight

with his m... [sighs]

With his mother.

[sighs]

All right, man, let's just

go pump some gas,

'cause I wanna get that $9.

- You wanna go downtown with $9?

- [TJ groaning]

- I thought it was 17.

- It's 9.

F*** it, man. Fine, my mom

goes to work at 8:00.

- We'll just grab some sh*t then.

- [Tommy] I'm not waiting

three f***ing hours

for your mom.

No.

You can't wait three hours.

[Tommy] What do we

f***ing do, man?

Blake, why don't you just

go up there alone?

I can't.

Why not? Just go up there.

You can do it.

It's a two-man job.

No, you're wrong. You can do it.

I'm telling you.

[panting]

What do I do?

Go up there.

- It's a two-man job.

- No, you're wrong.

Moshe's a f***ing p*ssy.

[exhales]

Tommy, tell him.

Moshe's a f***ing p*ssy.

[spits]

Do it.

Go up there.

I need a gun.

- No, you don't.

- I do.

- No, you don't.

- I do, man.

I need a f***ing gun.

You don't. He's gonna be

terrified of you. Trust me.

Think about it, man.

When you get up there and get that

dope, you can do whatever you want.

You can go to India.

You can go to Florida

and meet your dad.

F***, man.

He's a p*ssy?

- You can do it.

- Do it.

Please, do it.

[sighs]

[sighs] I can't man.

I'm so f***ing sick.

- I can't. I can't.

- Do it.

You can do it.

- I'm too weak, man. I can't do it.

- Blake.

You're the strongest person

I know.

F***! Corra!

[Tommy] F***, man.

She told me she stopped

topping from him.

Should I go out there and

ask her for a f***ing bag?

[TJ] No, Blake's doing this.

Blake, you're doing this, right?

[Blake] Dude, you don't

understand how this works.

[TJ] Come on, do it!

[Blake] F***, f***, f***!

[TJ] Do it.

[Blake sighs]

- [Tommy] Blake, are you doing it?

- [TJ] Do it.

[Blake] All right, man. Shut the f*** up.

I'll do it. God.

I need a gun!

- [Tommy] Here,

- [digs]

you can use this.

[Blake] Where the f***

did you get this?

[Tommy] It came with the car.

[Tommy] Go up there with that.

Feel it, man.

It's f***ing demonic.

You could f***ing kill him

with that thing.

All clear.

Go.

Please, man, we'll be well

in ten minutes. Go.

Number 23?

Second floor into the hall?

Yeah.

You do realize I'm gonna

have to hit him with this.

It's okay.

He should have answered

the phone.

F*** it.

Let's do this.

Go into bright

Find the light

Don't mind just how you grow

Reads dark roads

Without a map

Straight ahead across

Black seas to free

[Tommy] Blake! Blake!

Jimmy's wife had the baby.

He called, man.

He'll see us.

- It's a boy.

- [Tommy] Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on,

he'll see us now.

["Misty Blue" playing]

Ooh

Oh, it's

Been such a long

Long time

Looks like I'd get you

Off of my mind

But I can't

Just the thought of you

Turns my whole world

Misty blue

Oh, honey

Just the mention

Of your name

Turns the flicker

To a flame

Listen to me good, baby

I think of the things

We used to do

And my whole world

Turns misty blue

Ooh, baby

I should forget you

Heaven knows I tried

Baby

When I say that

I'm glad we're through

Deep in my heart

I know I've lied

I've lied

I've lied

Ooh
