Alex of Venice Page #6

- Yeah?

- Yes.

- Really?

- What? No? Why not?

- You'd peak too hard.

- Are you sure?

- Yes, I'm sure.

- 'Cause you're pretty intense.

Oh, f*** you. I want the ecstasy, please.

- Just...

- Give it to her.

I'm surprised you haven't been

prescribed this.

Thank you.

- I am so excited for this.

- This is going to be good for you.

- Yes.

- Sh*t. I gotta... one second.

You sure you don't want any ecstasy?

I think Alex is going to get

really mad if I take X.

I used to have like a bit of a problem

with like pills and... stuff.

- Yeah.

- I'm sorry.

- George?

- Hey.

- Hi.

- How you doing?

I'm good, yeah. Are you?

What, he missed a week of school?

But...

I only had like two visitors.

I'd only have sex with one of them.

I gotta call you back.

- What are you looking at?

- Nothin'.

Oh, hey, Lily...

- I meant to ask you, how was this week?

- What do you mean?

With Dakota, and taking him to school

and everything. Everything was okay, right?

What do you mean? It was fine.

So he didn't... miss a week

of school this week?

You're so full of sh*t.

- What are you talking about?

- Get out.

- I don't want to see your face. Get out.

- Alex... listen...

He needed someone to talk to, okay?

He didn't need to go to school.

He wanted to talk.

- Oh, really? You couldn't have told me that?

- Yeah, he did. No, I couldn't.

When? When is anyone supposed

to f***ing tell you anything?

This isn't how the world works, Lily.

You can't let my kid miss a week of school.

Are you being serious right now?

You're... you're mad that Dakota

missed a week of school?

Lily, I am his mother. You do not have

the right to take my son out of school.

You do not have the right to do anything

with him without going through me first.

Do you understand that?

How does that not get into your brain?

Why are you... you think

you're so f***ing perfect?

You're not, Alex.

Look at your life. It's a mess.

Hi.

I think I might need a ride.

Yeah, I don't think

I should drive right now.

- Hey.

- Hi.

You okay?

I don't know if I can walk.

Here, have this.

That's supposed to be...

- that's supposed to help?

- It'll help.

How am I going to do it without you?

You're already doing it.

Dakota missed a week of school.

And I'm coming down from ecstasy.

You're great.

And you've always been great.

Feel better?

Thank you for getting me

water and tangerines.

- Do you want something else?

- No.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, I just...

- Do you want me to go?

- No. No, please.

How's your dad?

I don't know. I don't know.

I went to the doctor and...

I don't know. He might have

Alzheimer's, just...

It's time to go.

We had a dance and we had generals...

and admirals. And...

No. Generals and barons and admirals.

- Yeah.

- And nowadays we... we have the...

Nowadays we have...

- We have to send out.

- Yeah.

Nowadays we have

to send out for the postman?

- Postmaster.

- Oh, postmaster.

And... stationmaster.

- Good morning.

- Sh*t.

You're back?

Where's Dakota?

He's in the back.

Dad.

Hey.

Looking good.

Mom's the worst cook.

Well, she's... yeah, she's pretty bad.

Used to be good.

When we were younger... I think she's just...

I think she's just out of practice.

Was that why?

What?

'Cause she's a bad cook?

No, no.

No?

Well, I don't know, you know,

just... when you're young, you...

I mean, I...

You know, when you get older

people change, and...

it's good changes, good,

but you... sometimes...

sometimes change is...

painful, and...

you know, but...

but it's necessary.

Right?

You know, it's... it's not...

Will you come back?

I'm back. Yeah, I'm back.

I'm back forever.

With you. But I'm...

I don't think I'm coming back...

to your mom's.

Goodbye, house.

Goodbye, old life.

No, no, no, no, no.

It's hello, new life.

I know.

I know, I know.

I know.

Hello, new life.

- I'm sorry, I...

- No, I'm sorry. I f***ed up.

I should've taken Dakota to school.

I don't know what I was thinking.

Lily.

I'm really glad you came.

- Really?

- Really.

Thank you.

George isn't coming back.

I think...

I think things changed...

between us a long time ago,

and I just didn't see it.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

All I know is I want

to spend time with my son.

Oh, my beautiful...

beautiful orchard.

You were my life.

You were my youth.

My happiness.

Goodbye.

- You got him.

- Finally got him.

Drew him. Then this is...

- I love its eyes.

- This is... this is the one for grandpa.

Henry the... and there's grandpa.

Gave him his favorite hat there.

And I wanted this one

of... Friday, 'cause...

Wonder wouldn't come

on the back porch with...

- Hey.

- Hey.

I want you to know...

that this has nothing to do

with you, okay?

Okay?

You hear me?

I love you.

And your dad loves you.

And that is never going to change.

That is never going to change ever.

Okay? Come here.

Is everybody gone?

Is there anyone left?

Alright. Let's go.

They've gone away.

They forgot about me.

Life has gone on...

as if I never lived.

I'll lie back.

You have no strength left in you.

Nothing left at all.

You...

bungler.

- Hey.

- Oh, my God.

- You were so amazing.

- This Cherry Orchard's the sh*t.

- Dad.

- You killed it.

- That was awesome.

- You killed it. Straight to Broadway.

So did you like the play?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

I really liked it.

It's crazy. He wrote it, like,

around a hundred years ago.

Yeah, it's kind of cool. People have

the same problems then as they do now.

Yeah, it is kind of cool.

Hey, can I have a lick of your chocolate?

I told you the jalapeno would be

disgusting after the 3rd lick.

I know. I know, I should've listened.

...but I found my girl

My notion of love devotion

Was a corrosion of mind

Then come cupid and now I'm stupid

And I feel it's just fine

Like exploding face

I'm going to tell the world

Been a million years full of fears

But I found my girl

It's a spun tongue

It's a holy sh*t

It's a loud cry from the heart

It's a live death

It's a big breath

It's a no more we're apart

Like a rainbow crash

As we bow and swirl

Been a million years full of tears

But I found my girl

Like exploding sun

Let the light unfurl

Been a million years full of fears

But I found my girl
