LIVING OFF WHAT MAN

LEAVES BEHIND, YOU KNOW?

NOBODY'S SAYING

IT'S YOUR FAULT, MAN.

I MEAN, IT'S HARD TO SAY

WHAT A GUY LIKE ME

WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH

HAD I NOT HAD:

THE SUPPORT NETWORK I DID.

MORGAN.

HEY, I'M LIKE A THIRD

OF THE WAY THERE.

YOU GET ALL THE HOLES PUNCHED,

YOU GET ONE FOR FREE.

SANDWICH. GOOD SANDWICHES.

IT'S A FREE COUNTRY,

AND WE BECOME ACCUSTOMED

TO HANGING OUT AT THE SAME

PLACES, BUT IT'S A BIG BEACH.

- THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

- RIGHT.

SO, SHE EITHER

FOLLOWED ME THERE...

THAT DOESN' SOUND LIKE DANIELLA.

...OR SHE SAW ME, AND THEN SHE

STRATEGICALLY POSITIONED HERSELF

IN FRONT OF US,

WHICH, I'M SORRY, THAT'S SAD.

SHITSUCKER:

FORGOT TO LEAVE A KEY.

[SCOFFS] REMIND ME AGAIN

WHY WE HANG OUT WITH CAMPBELL.

OH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

DON'T DO THAT.

JUST KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

HEY! OH!

WE'RE IN THE WRONG APARTMENT.

WE THOUGHT THIS WAS...

[DOG GROWLING]

OH, SHE'S CUTE!

WHAT IS SHE, A WESTIE?

[GROANS]

["ME ME ME" PLAYS]

[METAL CLANGS]

YOU KEPT ME OUT OF TROUBLE

AS MUCH AS YOU COULD STAND

WELL, I DON'T BLAME YOU

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

IF HE LIES IN YOUR BED

AND PUTS LIES IN YOUR HEAD

IF HE INTERRUPTS A FEELING

THAT HE CANNOT COMPREHEND

I GUESS IT'S ME, ME, ME

PLEASE HURRY.

HIS NOSE IS BLEEDING REALLY BAD.

I think he's on coke.

- [SIGHS]

- BUT I COULD NOT SPEAK UP

WELL, I DON'T JUDGE YOU

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

IF YOU JUST WON'T GIVE UP

- AND YOU JUST WON'T GIVE IN

- WHOA! AAH!

THEN LET HIM:

DRINK HIMSELF TO SLEEP

AND WONDER WHERE HE'S BEEN

I GUESS IT'S ME, ME, ME

YES, IT'S ME, ME, ME

GOD, IT'S ME, ME, ME, ME, ME

GO! GO!

SEE YOU IN HELL, SHITSUCKER!

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

MIDWOOD!

CAMPBELL WAS WITH YOU?

HE WAS THE OTHER GUY?

WAIT, WHAT OTHER GUY?

THEY SAID:

THERE WAS ANOTHER GUY.

NO. NO. THAT'S WEIRD.

I WAS... I WAS ALONE.

THEN WHAT'S THIS

ABOUT CAMPBELL?

WELL, I THOUGH IT WAS HIS APARTMENT.

YOU THOUGH CAMPBELL WAS LIVING THERE?

YEAH, THAT'S WHY

I WAS WAITING FOR HIM.

BUT YOU DIDN'T WAIT, MORGAN.

WELL, I HAD TO GO

TO THE BATHROOM, MOM!

- OH.

- THAT'S FROM YOU.

WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU GO

TO THE STARBUCKS OR SOMETHING?

I MEAN, THEY'RE PRETTY CLEAN.

MAYBE YOU GOT TO GET A COFFEE

OR COOKIE.

- YEAH.

- THEIR WRAPS AREN'T SO BAD.

WELL, IT JUST SORT OF

CREPT UP ON ME, DAD.

WELL, THAT HAPPENS.

TO YOU TWO IT HAPPENS,

NOT TO ME.

[SIGHS]

LOOK, I FEEL DUMB, MOM.

I'M SORRY, OKAY?

CAMPBELL FORGO TO LEAVE ME A KEY.

I JUST REALLY HAD TO GO SO BAD.

- IT WASN'T HIS APARTMENT.

- YEAH, I GOT CONFUSED.

- FROM THE DRUGS.

- NO. NO.

I JUST FORGOT, OKAY?

THE CITY'S BIG.

WELL, DIDN'T YOU WRITE DOWN

THE ADDRESS?

- NO, I DIDN'T.

- ALSO FROM YOU.

ARE YOU GETTING MAD AT ME?

'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?

I DID NOT DO ANYTHING.

LOOK, I REALLY THOUGH I-I KNEW WHERE IT WAS, OKAY?

I FORGOT. I'M... I'M SORRY.

I FEEL STUPID.

NO, STUPID.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT WAS STUPID.

WHAT WAS STUPID WAS THREATENING

THE MAN WITH A GOLF CLUB.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU?

MEN DO NOT USE WEAPONS.

MEN USE THEIR HANDS!

DAD, I WASN'T GONNA

DO ANYTHING.

- MEN USE THEIR HANDS!

- I WASN'T GONNA DO ANYTHING!

OKAY! HE GETS IT!

WE ALL GET IT!

[SIGHS]

YOUR FATHER AND I

THINK IT WOULD BE BES IF YOU MOVED HOME FOR A WHILE.

WHAT?

AT LEAST UNTIL YOU SHOW

SOME MOTIVATION,

SOME CONCEPT OF RESPONSIBILITY.

OH, MY GOD.

DAD, I WORK REALLY HARD.

NOT FOR THE MONEY I PAY YOU,

YOU DON'T.

AND, BY THE WAY, I'M NOT GONNA

KEEP SHELLING OUT MORE MONEY

FOR YOUR RENT EVERY MONTH,

NOT WITH THIS TRIAL COMING UP.

I MEAN, A TRIAL?!

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

HOW MUCH A LAWYER COSTS?

NO, YOU'RE GONNA

STAY HOME WITH US. THAT'S IT.

YOUR MOTHER AND I

CAN KEEP AN EYE ON YOU.

I THINK THERE'S A CURVE

TO THE LEFT HERE.

I SEE IT!

I'M JUST SAYING

YOU GOT TO WATCH OUT FOR IT,

BECAUSE THEY'RE COMING AROUND

THE BLIND SPOT.

THIS IS WHY I DRIVE,

BECAUSE I CAN SEE IT!

I UNDERSTAND THAT,

BUT I CAN'T SEE IT.

I KNOW!

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

[ENGINE TURNS OVER]

[RAILROAD CROSSING DINGING,

TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS]

[SIGHS]

LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT HIM.

[BOTH LAUGH]

HOW'D YOU GET YOUR UNDERWEAR

BACK ON THE SAME WAY?

JUST WORRY ABOU GETTING THEM OFF.

COME ON.

[LAUGHS]

CAMPBELL.

[HAND SLAPS]

[LAUGHS]

[BOTH MOANING]

THAT'S WHY CAMPBELL TOLD US

THE WRONG APARTMENT,

SO HE COULD SNEAK OFF

AND BANG KARLA!

THAT SLICK F***.

REAL SLICK.

MAYBE YOU JUST FORGO WHERE IT WAS.

NAH, NAH, NAH.

I'M PRETTY SURE HE TOLD ME 54.

WE WENT TO 45!

BACKWARDS.

YOU SAID:

YOU HAD BEEN THERE BEFORE.

YEAH, I DID SAY

I'D BEEN THERE BEFORE,

AND, YES,

I HAD BEEN THERE BEFORE.

BUT, NO, I DON'T RECALL

WHAT THE PLACE LOOKED LIKE.

LOOK, WE'RE GETTING

DANGEROUSLY OFF TOPIC HERE.

WHAT IS THIS, PRINCESS CUT?

GIVE ME THAT!

[CHUCKLES]

WHERE'S THE TV?

I MEAN, YOU HAD TO HAVE KNOWN

I'D SEE THAT.

WHY DO YOU PRETEND LIKE

THESE THINGS AREN'T HAPPENING?

I WASN'T PRETENDING.

I WAS LISTENING.

JUST LISTENING ABOUT KARLA.

AND LISTENING TO WHAT CAMPBELL

DID TO US, MAN.

WHAT THE F*** DID YOU DO

WITH MY TELEVISION?

BAIL, BUDDY.

BAIL COSTS MONEY.

YEAH, AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN

BAIL ME OUT.

I TRIED, THOUGH!

I WENT ALL THE WAY IN THERE

AND EVERYTHING, MAN!

I HAD TO BORROW ED'S MOM'S CAR.

SHE CALLED IN SICK.

NO. NO.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.

THAT WASN'T SMART, NICK.

THAT WAS RECKLESS.

WITH YOUR RECORD...

I'D DO ANYTHING FOR YOU,

MORGAN.

EH, YOU KNOW THAT.

AND I APPRECIATE IT, MAN.

I REALLY DO, BUT...

IF THAT FAMILY HAD SEEN YOU...

THAT'S THE THING.

THAT MOTHERF***ER

WAS IN THERE, TOO.

STILL HAD THE PINSTRIPES ON

AND EVERYTHING, THANK GOD,

OR ELSE I PROBABLY WOULDN' EVEN HAVE RECOGNIZED HIM.

HOLY CRAP.

I KNOW... HE LOOKED ME

RIGHT IN THE EYES, TOO.

FOR A SPLIT SECOND, EYE CONTACT.

- HOW MUCH DID YOU GET FOR IT?

- FOR WHAT?

THE TV.

- CAN WE... CAN WE BUY IT BACK?

- NO, NO, NO, NO.

UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO

TAKE CARE OF THE OTHER ISSUE
