- Okay.
Okay, okay.
If he's not in immediate danger
you need to fill out the forms
and wait your turn.
Look, lady,
you're not listening to me.
He is in immediate danger.
He practically
just OD'd in my car.
Okay, he definitely has problems
but he's not
in immediate danger.
So please, take a seat
and fill out the form.
Lady, I'm not an expert, but
he's the color green.
He just threw up
and it was a weird color
and if I hadn't been there
choked on it and died.
I think something is very wrong
with him and he needs help.
Can you please get a doctor?
This is a f***in' hospital,
can you get a doctor?
First... please don't raise
your voice.
And where did he go?
Uh..
Gus?
Argh! Gus!
Um, excuse me, Flannel.
Uh, it'll be just a minute.
Gus?
Gus?
Hi, did somebody sick-looking
just went past here?
Yeah, it's a hospital.
Alright, smart ass,
thanks a lot.
- Gus!
- Sick people everywhere.
Gus!
Gus, what the f***?
Dude, you can't just leave me
like that.
I've been looking everywhere
for you. You need a doctor.
Look... I'm fine.
You're not fine.
You just threw up in the car.
That's my bad.
I... I'm... I'm fine.
Honestly, I'm fine.
How amazing is that?
F***ing amazing, huh?
It's like a day old, not even,
it's like an hour old.
Unbelievable.
It doesn't know anything yet.
It's completely pure.
Do you think that
we're born a certain way..
...or that life shapes us
into who we are?
That one's really ugly.
Well, you know, ugly babies,
they need love too.
Come on.
Ho-ho-ho,
it's about f***in' time.
So glad you could make it.
Yeah, sorry I'm late.
Apology accepted.
What's that?
Meat.
Isn't that what you wanted?
I can't. I'm sorry.
I don't mean any disrespect,
but can I please go?
That's alright, Lilly.
Shiva insists on free will.
Yeah, but... this is too much.
Of course.
Shh.
Would you rather be a lion
or a squirrel?
that the best way to honor
Shiva and her principles
was to eat human flesh.
Shut up.
It's true.
Gussy, Gussy, Gussy.
Well, if she wants to hang out
with f***ing cannibal freaks..
...be my f***ing guest.
I'm sure that's good
for your asthma.
F*** off.
Where we going?
As far away from
that low scene as possible.
Far far f***ing away.
"Most men pursue pleasure
with such breathless haste
that they hurry past it."
Hey, leave Kierkegaard
out of this, okay?
He got nothing to do with it.
It means slow the f*** down.
That is not what I meant.
No, no, no.
I'm a f***ing addict, okay?
Put your hands
where I can see them.
Sir!
Put your hands
on the steering wheel.
Alright.
They don't know the real truth.
They don't know the real truth.
Obama's in the White House.
I'm in jail.
Ugh, f***ing jail!
Hey, you..
...do you know the real truth?
What's that, man?
Did you vote for Obama?
No, man, I didn't vote.
You know Obama's trying
to steal all the money
from the Native Americans?
F***in' a..
Really he is.
That's why I'm in here.
I had a website up
telling the truth.
We had to get the truth
out there.
I'm in jail.
It's not a coincidence.
I'm an Arawak..
...and we are owed
2 billion dollars.
gonna give us
our 2 billion dollars?
You know, I hate to say it..
...but if somebody
doesn't pay us..
...somebody might make him..
...go away.
'Cause that's a lot of money.
Money, money, money.
You know, that's what it's all
about at the end of the day.
And that's a crazy part
about it.
We need the money..
...just so we can go
live someplace
where money doesn't matter.
You f***in' hear me?
Hey!
Do you f***ing hear me
or am I talking to myself?
I asked you a question,
motherfuck.
Gottsegen.
Three steps back, please.
Little bit more. There you go.
Where are we going?
The turn off is back there.
I'm not taking you
back into the city.
Not in the shape you're in.
Where are you taking me?
Your mother's.
I don't know, Gus.
You know..
You know, somewhere along
the line, you gotta take
a little bit of responsibility,
just a little bit.
Oh, put that thing out.
I'm an addict, dad, okay?
Yeah, but you've..
I bet you are.
- I bet you are.
- Get your hands off me.
- Let me see this.
- Get your f***ing hands off me.
How'd.. What is that?
How'd you get those?
I got them playing hoops, dad.
Okay, you want to give me
No. Of course not.
'Cause you don't even
think that I just bailed you
out of county
for heroin possession
You know, you're lucky
he's not pressing charges. I..
Not... not every kid
whose parents get divorced
e... e... ends up
being a drug addict.
You... you decided to do that.
That was you.
- You're killing your mother.
- Oh, f*** you.
Since when do you
care about her?
I never stopped
caring about your mother...
Oh, cut the crap.
When was the last time
you went to see her?
Tell me, when was the last time
you went to see her?
When was the last time
you called her?
When was the last time you
checked to see if she was okay?
She's my ex-wife.
She's not my wife.
She's all alone,
and you don't even care.
Can I borrow some money?
Sure, sure.
I'll take it out of the damages
to the Rolls.
You know,
you just left it in the woods?
Gus, you didn't even, you didn't
even make a phone call.
You didn't even..
Were you gonna ever tell anybody?
W, what did... what did you
- Coming in?
- No.
No, Gus, I'm not coming in.
Dad, I mean... she's sick.
And it could be the last time.
Let me ask you something.
Are you going in there to give
her love and support?
Or are you're just going in
to take her money?
Both.
Today's a good day.
She'll be happy to see you.
Well, I'm happy to see you.
- Well, I'll leave you alone.
- Okay.
Give me a shout
if you need anything.
Mm, my Gus. Mmm.
- Mwah.
- You smell like cigarettes.
Yeah, well, dad was smoking
in the car.
He didn't wanna come in, huh?
Uh, he wanted to, but I told
him to go f*** himself.
Good thinking.
I'm scared, Gus.
Mom, please,
just chill... alright?
Cindy says you're doing well.
She says your vitals are good.
So, just please, stop
stressing yourself out, okay?
What does Cindy know?
She doesn't know anything.
- Ma...
- I know myself.
I can't deal with this
right now, okay?
Hey, look... I got you a present.
Should I?
- Presents?
- Yeah.
Mmm, I like presents.
- Look, basketball cards.
- Oh..
- That's Larry Johnson.
- Oh, thanks.
And that's Lew Alcindor's
rookie card.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Karee..
- Kareem.
- Yeah, skyhook.
- Skyhook.
- Skyhook.
You remember when you used to take
me to Knicks games when I was a kid?
How could I forget? You made me take
you home after the first quarter.
Hey, ma, I was 5 years old.
What do you expect?
You're staying here, right?
- Yeah, of course, of course.
- Tonight?
- Good.
