Hmm?

When I want to do something...

I do it.

Like when I saw you

at the show...

I thought...

I want him all to myself.

Here we are.

Why?

I just knew.

Do you throw up?

Only if it's good.

I hate throwing up.

I don't think we should

do this right now. I think...

Got you.

I got you.

Skinny-dipping.

Skinny-dipping.

Skinny-dipping.

Skinny-dipping.

F***, yes, skinny-dipping.

To the pool.

Mm, mh-mh, come on.

Swimming, let's go swim.

Let's go swimming.

What if we, um...

What if we just...

Sh*t.

It hurts so bad.

I know.

I don't even think

I can walk right now.

How much do you think

she has in her purse?

That fence...

is blocking her.

That stuff is blocking her.

- I don't think anyone can see her.

- I don't think so either.

She'll scream.

What are you doing?

I heard about this.

I'll tell her that I have AIDS

and then if she makes

any noises, I'll stick her.

Tell her you'll stick her baby.

She'll give you anything.

Do you have the car ready?

Yeah.

Okay.

I couldn't do it.

I'm sorry, I couldn't do it.

I didn't want you to do it.

I'm sorry, Bob.

- No.

- I'm s...

I'm sorry.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

F***, baby.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, help!

Help me!

Help please, somebody call 911!

Call 911!

I don't know

what's wrong with him!

The doctor doesn't want anyone

to disturb him right now.

I have a right to see him.

Actually, you don't.

A legal spouse

or a family member could...

I am... his family.

We have to make a decision

that's best for Jude right now.

At the moment,

we feel he's gonna need

to stay under observation.

He has a tooth infection, right?

That's what you said.

You said that he has

an infection from an abscess.

We have to do

a complete evaluation

based on the state

that Jude was in

when he arrived in our care.

Because he doesn't

have any insurance,

we've recommended

that he be transferred

to a hospital nearby

where they can give him

the care that he needs.

What... a hospital...

What are you talking about?

It's the doctor's opinion

that Jude

isn't capable of caring

for himself at the moment.

So he's gonna be transferred

to Fleeger Hospital.

The mental hospital?

Go around!

God!

Come on, baby.

Any suicidal thoughts?

Where's Bobbie?

How long has it been

since you've taken a bath, Jude?

I don't know.

Where am I?

Are you hearing any voices?

No.

Just yours.

How's your mouth feeling?

It's gravy.

I just need some methadone,

please.

Could you please give me

some methadone?

No, Jude, we'll give you

plenty of Tylenol.

F*** you!

Agh! F***!

Do you wanna take a shower,

honey?

I don't think I can walk.

Oh...

I can get you a wheelchair.

I'm sorry.

You'll be okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Just get through this

and you're gonna be just fine.

Okay.

Ma'am.

Oh, miss.

M-miss, you can't be

sleeping out here.

I don't have

anywhere else to go.

You can't go back there.

They don't let nobody

back there.

Is this... this fellow here

the only family you got?

My mom is back home in Missouri.

Why don't you give

your mother a call?

- Oh, I... I can't.

- Well, sure you can.

You can use that phone

right there

because I dial out on that phone

long distance all the time.

I just can't.

Thank you.

Her husband...

my stepdad, he's a doctor.

Well, if he's a doctor,

he should be able to help you.

He's a...

He's a hypocrite.

Yeah?

The state's been trying

to take away

his license for a while

for prescriptions.

He's on Oxycotin.

Or he used to be.

I don't know anymore.

Hi, this is Bill calling

for Roxy.

I'm up in Evanston.

Give me a call, 312...

What would you say to Bobbie

if she were here?

Hmm.

Probably something like, um...

where you've been?

Why didn't you come see me?

Well, there are a lot of reasons

why she couldn't

come see you here.

Do you know something

that I don't know?

You have to get well first.

As soon as dove into the grass,

the jet went past...

and there was

another one coming.

So the blaze kept going.

We saw the next jet

coming down the runway.

Lights coming closer and closer,

and each time we did it,

we let them get

a little bit closer

and a little bit closer.

Hey, stranger.

Hey.

You know, it's gonna get cold

out here tonight.

Yeah, I just, um...

I'm going to visit a friend.

Ah. Well,

I got some good news for you.

Tonight is Wednesday night.

You know what that means.

That's Albert orders

a pizza night.

How do you know?

My gal pal down in "C"

took a look at his paperwork,

and he's doing real well.

So you don't gotta worry

about him no more.

Okay.

I thought you had plans tonight.

I cancelled.

Oh, yeah?

Pizza gets them every time.

So...

what is the plan?

I don't know.

Well, I'm not exactly

a car mechanic

but I could tell you

right from the looks

of that jalopy

you're driving around in,

you're not gonna make it much

further than the bus terminal.

Yeah.

What about Jude?

Hey, at some point...

you have to take care

of yourself.

Took me too damn long

to learn that.

Well, I gotta make some rounds.

You stay and enjoy the pizza.

I'll be back.

And, uh...

you dial 9 and then the number.

Just in case.

Mom?

It's Barbara.

I'm sorry I'm calling so late.

So what happens

to cowboy in your story?

I don't know.

He's desperate and...

he's willing to do whatever

it takes no matter what.

So one night he was out

on this big bender.

And he comes on this alley

where these guys

are brutalizing

this poor young girl.

And he just goes

completely animal,

you know, tears them apart,

and then there's this guy

laying there bleeding to death,

and then this girl

is looking up at him

like he's her savior

or something, but he's not.

And, uh...

he climbs on top of her,

and he's gonna kill her.

But they get him, the police.

He's got this tear

running down his face,

and their machines

plucked him out,

and they haul him away

to the trash compactors.

Okay, I...

just need you to sign there.

Got it.

So have you thought

any more about your plan?

Yeah, medical school.

Really.

Listen, if you don't do

your outpatient,

at least be sure

to go somewhere, okay?

Meetings, a sponsor.

Promise?

Yes.

Okay. I just have to get

a couple of more signatures,

and you're good to go.

And you have a visitor.

I'll be back in a few minutes.

I thought you were gone.

I thought you were gone.

Relatively.

I don't know what to say.

Jesus.

I've never seen anything

like you.

Shut up.

Oh, God.

What have you been doing?

How you been scoring?

I called my mom.

I've got to go home.

Whoa.

Is it okay?

Yeah.

What did Gary say?

She said, "F*** Gary."

I'm her daughter,

and she wants to help, so...

I've got to go.

That's great.

She send you money?

Um, she has a doctor friend

who can help with my boob.

And, um...

there's meetings.

That's great.

She said that, um,

if I showed up with you,

she wasn't gonna let me

in the house.

Okay.

Jude...
