anonymous to the world.

I have a story and it will be heard.

- What is this?

- It's your masterpiece.

It's a list of crimes starting

with fraud, ending with assault.

It might be the best story

you've ever told.

It's yours, at least.

- What do you want?

- A clear conscience.

- That sounds expensive.

- Hm.

Truth must always come first.

It's the only thing we never had.

Sh*t.

Hey, Provider-Dad.

Are you coming to

the 4th of July party with us?

Well, that sounds fun

but why don't you guys go ahead?

What do you mean? It's the 4th of July.

Cotton candies, candy apples, clowns.

Why don't you guys go on without me?

I'll catch up with you later.

What are you doing?

I want you to have this.

If you ever have any questions

about anything...

all the answers are in there.

Chad.

How's it going, bro?

Did you have a good time?

Yeah. Everyone was very kind to me.

I want to go home now, though.

Hm. What do you say we just roll here

with the primates a little while longer?

Then we're out of here, easy-peasy.

Jay.

Hey.

Oh, my gosh, you must be starving, huh?

Happy fourth.

Chad.

Yes, Saul.

I'd like to have a word with you.

- You're all gussied up.

- Thank you.

I had it made for a funeral.

Oh.

- Can I get you anything?

- No, thank you. Are you working?

I wanted to ask you if you'd be willing...

to read my new book?

But there's a catch.

You'd be the first.

How does that sound?

I'd like that, Saul.

Is it about birds?

You tell me.

Did you finish?

Yes.

He's too good for this world and...

he lives but...

he doesn't.

He needs to die

so that he can live forever.

Anything else?

I don't like what it's called.

Any suggestions?

"Give Up the Ghost."

You're not gonna go run off

some place, are you?

No.

That's good.

That's good.

F*** you!

- Come on, baby. Yeah. Come on.

- It's not... I'm not there. I'm sorry.

- Yeah, you can do this, right?

- I know.

Come on. Come on!

F*** me please.

Are you getting too old, huh?

Can't get it up? Can't get it up, old man?

Come on! I need this.

What is wrong with you? Stop it.

F*** you.

Hi, Chad.

You like to watch?

Watch.

With your own eyes.

Touch me. Touch me, Chad!

You've got to be f***ing kidding me.

Chad!

Oh, my God, he's got a gun.

He's got a gun.

Chad has a f***ing gun.

Get away from him. Leave him alone!

- Get away. Put that down!

- Get back! He has a gun!

He's got a condition, all right?

His nerves get fried.

She probably freaked him out

and he overloaded.

He's a f***ing pervert.

He's jacking off in my yard.

- Stop it, you're crazy. Jay, stop it!

- Bullshit.

You want to just f***ing hit me, huh?

You f***ing hit me?

Don't, don't.

Ellis, stop it, you're so crazy.

Let's take a walk, Chad.

Everybody's happy.

Some f***ing vacation this was.

Ellis, what the hell are you doing?

You're scaring the sh*t out of me.

We're broke. We got to sell the house.

We got to sell all of it 'cause I blew it,

on jewelry and private schools

and antique canoes.

I blew it all. It's gone.

This is just an illusion.

- It doesn't even exist anymore.

- Finally! No sh*t.

Do you think I'm f***ing stupid

that I didn't know?

Excuse me for giving you

everything you ever wanted.

I went broke trying to make you happy.

Do you think any of this sh*t

makes me happy? Do you?

Do I look happy? I'm lost, Ellis.

I am lost in all this bullshit,

in this whole life we built together.

I don't even know

who the f*** I am anymore.

- Joey! Joey!

- He's got our daughter. Joey!

- Joey! Get back here.

- Joey, stop. Joey, stop. Get back here.

- Come back, what are you doing?

- Chad!

No, no, no! Come on. Come on.

Get away from me! Don't touch me.

Let me go. Chad!

No! No! No!

Don't leave me.

Please. Don't leave me.

I had a dream. I was as light as a bird.

A spirit flying through the air...

and I could see my home...

and my family. But then I woke up.

And I was on the ground.

When you step out of a dream,

things are never what they seem.

What you thought was real,

wasn't real at all.

Nothing is as bright or clear...

but the dream is always there.

And it gives you hope...

that one day it will return...

and if you're lucky,

you'll see your friend again.

It's so beautiful.

Yeah.

Some birds fly alone.

They're the ones that fly the highest,

can see the most.

They can fly so high,

that they vanish into thin air.

Like a dream.

Don't worry, Mom.

All the answers are in here.

# I'll see you in my dreams #

# And we'll dance with you holding me #

# But I know #

# Your heart will never be mine #

# Moon shines bright in the sky #

# And I see the light in your eyes #

# But I know #

# Your heart will never be mine #

# I know we're never to be, oh, dear #

# I fear my heart is lost to you #

# My dear sweet,

how madly I fell for thee #

# Now I fear my heart is lost to you #

# Your heart stole me away #

# And I dreamed of you every day #

# But I know #

# Your heart will never be mine #

# So I'll say my fare thee

well as my tears fall #

# How sadly they tell how your heart #

# Will never be mine #

# I know we're never to be, oh, dear #

# I fear my heart is lost to you #

# My dear sweet,

how madly I fell for thee #

# Now I fear my heart is lost to you #

# Yes, I fear my heart is lost #

# To you #
