Are You Here Page #2

if I had any idea

what it entailed,

and honestly,

I kind of resent you

making this

so awkward for me.

What are you

talking about?

Well, I need a little money

till the end of the month.

It's the sixth.

Look, I didn't say

give it to me-.

It's just an advance.

You know what

the good thing is?

I know you can't go on

like this forever.

Guys like you

count on that,

but what if you're wrong?

Fire drill?

I really doubt that.

I just want to see my friend.

Step away

from the door, sir.

I'm only going

to ask you once.

You'll break the door.

F***ing local ditwad...

Wait a second.

I know that guy.

- You what?

- I said I know that guy.

- Everybody calm down.

- I have a yellow belt!

Jesus, Ben. Let her go.

Told you I just wanted

to see my friend.

I'll... I'll pay

for the plant.

My dad died.

Don't you...

No, no, no!

And could I get

some Visine please?

Great.

I mean, would you like your

kitty cat to be used as bait?

You have three-and-a-half

pounds of crayfish.

I need three-and-a-half

pounds of crayfish.

What the hell

is going on?

I was telling him

they're too little to eat,

and we have a strict

no return policy.

What difference does it

make what I want them for?

These are the babies

of a species.

We judge a culture on how

it treats its children, right?

They were hatched one day and

raised to be murdered the next.

We're talking about one of the most

sophisticated nervous systems in the world.

It's like us,

the dolphins,

then them.

A hundred bucks.

You know, anyone

who is going fishing today

has probably come and gone.

How about a markdown?

I don't give a sh*t.

I'm not arguing with the

spirit of Operation Crayfish.

I'm just saying

it was overfunded.

It's really beautiful.

I forgot, you know.

It's been so long.

Yeah, I haven 't been

back since my parents died.

Your parents aren't dead.

Well, you know,

since they moved.

Because we've been circling

our destination for...

three hours now,

and my feeling is

we should get dressed

and rock this funeral.

I think I'm ready.

Goddamn.

Sh*t!

I still say it's better

than ending up as bait.

They mate for life,

you know.

Not those.

Uh-oh, look.

He blew a foot.

Can you imagine if you had to shoot

your car every time you got a flat?

Those people

understand the land,

and they live by it.

I don't feel so good.

Although Sam Baker

was not a religious man,

he found comfort and joy in his

children, Teresa and Benjamin,

and his lovely wife,

Angela.

Now reading

from the Old Testament.

The Song of Solomon.

"Arise my love,

my fair one.

Look at her, the slutty,

wicked stepmother.

She wants it all

to herself.

"...the flowers

appear on the earth."

You can practically

see through that dress.

I don't think so.

"...is heard in our land."

I'm sorry.

We got

a late start.

It's okay.

It doesn't matter.

You're here.

I just wish

I could see him.

I just wish he could

see that beard.

Your coat

smells weird.

I'm just saying...

I think we sort of have to step

up into the role of adults now

and decide what's going to

happen with the estate.

I have some ideas,

some of which I actually

ran past Dad,

so I know

he wasn't opposed,

about basically dealing

with the store.

How are the ribs?

They're good.

They're small, so they're

either really cheap

or off a really,

really young pig.

Well, steak's...

Steak's pretty good.

I'll tell you

what looks good is...

what do we got here, Ben?

Some deep-fried onions

dipped in Ranch.

Bet it tastes

like springtime.

Boy, that vegetarian lifestyle

takes a lot of discipline.

And the farm.

There's just

that cruddy house,

but we're talking about

almost 150 acres of land.

I don't think we should be

talking about this right now.

Jesus, Steve,

eat your f***ing ribs.

Are you sure

nobody wants any wine?

I got the best one

on the laminate.

What are you

even doing here?

I'm his ride.

Look, Ben, I wanted to

discuss this just as family,

without her, and certainly

without your ride.

I don't think that you're suited

to deal with any of this stuff.

And I don't mean that

as an insult.

I just know that you've been

happy with your life as it is.

And when you consider what the

property is actually worth...

It's so weird

to be home

and to think

that he's not here,

how we just put him

in a hole in the ground.

You know, Terri, maybe...

maybe now really

isn't the best time.

I'm just saying you can just sit

back and I'll take care of you.

And I'll take care

of this.

To taking care of things.

You can stay a night.

You said that guy with the

mustache will cover for you.

Delia?

Yeah, she'll do.

She's a good

emergency measure, but...

but what am I

doing here?

I mean, don't you

want me to go home

and water the plant at least?

I just want all this

to go away.

Look, man, you're going

to have to face it.

Your sister is still

a total buzzkill.

So you'll stay?

I've got a sleeping bag.

I could be persuaded.

What's that, Obi-wan?

You want me to stay, too.

You got

my f***ing skates, Ben.

Hey...

I just wanted to say...

sorry for your loss.

Well, that's life,

isn't it?

We're like waves

in the ocean.

We roll in...

we have our existence,

we break on the shore.

Hmm, what a beautiful and

nautical way to think of things.

Now you might want

to shut that window.

We're expecting some showers

coming in from the coast.

I doubt it. Hasn't

rained here in a while.

Well, you're

the weather man.

Look, I don't know if I'm going to

be staying in the house much longer,

so if you wouldn't mind,

I'd like to be by myself.

Well, if you're interested

in leaving right now,

I can get you on

the next scheduled flight.

Thanks, but uh...

I try to avoid things

that keep me from feeling.

Shhh!

"Whatever remains of me

is hopefully not limited

"to my estate,

"my belongings.

"Know that what I leave you

is in no way

"a measure

of my feelings.

"Angela, you are the executor

with all that entails.

"From the first time

I saw you in my store,

"leading that field trip

of very special young students,

"I knew the power

of your soul

"to heal others was surely

from another place.

"I would have left

the planet long ago

"if not for making love

to you,

"the kindness of your curves,

"your moistness in the morning,

"my ringers gently

Oh, come on.

Yeah. Wow.

Again, what are you doing here?

He's with me.

I'll leave.

You got to bring him.

He's my husband.

Please, can we stop

all this bickering?

A man died here,

a very rich man.

That's okay, Mr. Stevens.

I'll read that part later.

All right.

"To Angela...

"according to her wishes,

"I leave the stars in the sky

that we shared together.

"I would give them to her,

"but no one owns them."

Is that it? No, there's a

bunch more sex stuff here.

Oh, good.

Okay...

"To Terri,

my beloved daughter,

"I leave the lump sum

of $100,000

"and $250,000

in double A bonds

"to do with

as she wishes,
