Body Page #4

We get the worst of both worlds.

Look, we're already doing it.

No, no, of course not.

Well, actually, I don't want to say that.

Last summer, I didn't do

much other than see concerts.

But I mean, since then,

I haven't touched anything really.

I heard... I heard about the whole...

"Bald eagles, the US national bird,

makes some of the largest nests

in the animal kingdom.

They use the same nest year after year,

sometimes for decades,

constantly adding twigs, branches, moss,

feathers, and other nesting material.

One found in Florida in 1963 had

a weight of more than two tons,

a diameter of ten feet,

and was 20 feet deep."

Huh.

I'm gonna go check on him.

Please.

He's still alive.

- Damn it.

- How long do we have to wait like this?

As long as it takes.

Well, what if it takes forever?

What if he's like this for days?

Then we'll figure it out. I don't know.

Who the f*** is that?

- Ben.

- Jesus Christ.

What?

Well, we can't just leave him there

in plain sight. Let's go!

F***.

Guys, right here, behind the couch.

Pull, Mel.

Oh, my God.

Okay, let me just go talk to him.

I'm just gonna tell him to leave.

No way. You're all f***ed up. I'll do it.

Well, what are you gonna say to him?

I have no idea,

but I will figure it out, okay?

Mel, you come with me. You stay here.

Yo, you guys in there?

Hey, Ben.

Hey. What's up?

Can I come in?

Sorry, no.

What? Come on, I'm freezing

my balls off out here. Let me in.

Um...

we know what you did.

What are you on right now? What did I do?

Man...

I should've stayed home tonight.

Just my luck.

I got kids.

I got two girls.

Please don't.

Look, Ben, Holly doesn't

want to see you right now. Sorry.

Why not? What are you talking about?

You're not saying anything.

We know you cheated on her.

All right, not funny anymore.

- I'm coming in. Where is she?

- Hey, look, it's not okay.

You can't... Sorry, you got to go.

Bullshit. I won't.

- She knows I wouldn't do that.

- Get the f*** out of here, Ben.

You're being a psycho. Jesus.

What? I'm gonna call the cops.

- Go ahead.

- Ben!

You got to help me.

I'm dying.

I didn't want any of this.

We were just f***ing around.

It's Cali's fault.

- I was just...

- It's okay. It's okay.

I won't tell. I won't tell.

I mean, people make mistakes.

I forgive you, okay?

I forgive you.

You got to let me go.

I won't tell a soul.

I swear to f***ing God!

Holly!

Don't, don't, don't.

Shh. Shh. Shh.

I need you to be quiet, okay?

I want to help you, but I...

You just need to be quiet, okay?

Okay.

Holly.

Help, help.

Help!

What the f*** is going on right now?

Open the door, Holly.

Go away. Just go.

What the hell was Cali talking about?

Do you seriously think

I would cheat on you?

I don't want any of this right now.

Please, just go.

Are you kidding me?

I just drove 45 minutes.

I'm not going anywhere until we talk.

Listen...

I'm sorry I'm yelling so much.

I just honestly don't know

where any of this is coming from.

I love you.

You know I would never do

anything like that.

Ben...

if you love me, you'll leave... right now.

All right.

I'll go.

Bye, Holly.

Such bullshit.

Bye-bye, Romeo.

B*tch.

What the f*** was that?

- Was that you?

- No.

You little sh*t.

He said he's not gonna tell anyone.

What are you, f***ing stupid?

You actually trust him?

After that sh*t he just pulled?

No.

He is just trying to save his own ass.

We have to do something.

Cali, we're talking about killing someone.

We thought he was dead, Holly.

We all thought he was dead.

We thought we killed him.

So what's the difference?

I'll do it.

I'm ready to do it. Let's just...

You guys stay here, and you can just

pretend like none of this ever happened.

It's not the same thing, Cali.

It's one thing

to kill someone accidentally,

but if we go in there now,

and if we do this, it's just different.

I can't believe I am f***ing

explaining this again.

What exactly do you want to do,

Mel, just leave?

Do you actually think that will work?

Think about it.

There is absolutely no scenario

where we weren't in this house.

Even if he's telling the truth and doesn't

say anything, they'll know we were here.

There's no happy ending where we just

walk out of here and everything's fine.

Either we take action,

or we turn ourselves in.

Then we turn ourselves in.

No.

We're not gonna do that.

I am not gonna do that.

Well, it's not your decision.

There's three of us,

and I say we don't kill him.

I say we do.

Come on, Mel, don't throw this all away.

I'm sorry.

I can't... I can't kill someone

in cold blood, not like this.

I just can't do it.

I just can't.

Fine.

But I don't think either of you realize

what this is gonna do to us.

- So what do we do?

- Call the police, I guess.

We're gonna tell the truth?

- Yeah.

- The entire truth?

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay.

Let me just go get my phone,

and we'll all do it together.

I can't...

I can't believe

we were just at your house.

Now...

I know exactly what you mean.

I can just picture us in my living room

with my brother and my dad.

And his sunglasses.

Why the hell does he wear

those things all the time?

It's because he still smokes all the time.

He thinks nobody knows,

so he doesn't anyone

to see how stoned he is.

But there's nothing more conspicuous

than those f***ing sunglasses.

It's true.

Is that you?

No.

Then what...

Oh, my God.

Cali. Oh, my God.

Cali! Cali, open the door!

Open the door!

Cali! You don't have to do this!

You don't have to don't do this, Cali!

Cali! Cali, don't do this!

Cali! Cali!

Open the door! Please, Cali!

Please open it!

Don't do it!

Cali! Please!

Cali! Open the door!

You're a murderer.

At least I can admit it.

You said you couldn't do it, so I did.

I did what needed to be done.

None of this needed to be done.

We could've walked away.

We could've turned ourselves in.

We could've stayed at Mel's house

and watched a f***ing movie!

Well, we didn't!

So now we're here and so is he.

What was it like?

What?

Him dying.

Was it fast?

Yeah. It... It just sort of happened.

I put a pillow over his face.

He couldn't move.

He just stopped breathing.

It's like he went to sleep.

This doesn't change anything.

It only makes it worse.

This changes everything.

I just gave us a way out of this.

- It's back to the way it was.

- This is different, and you know it.

We put him at the bottom

of the stairs like before.

We call the cops. We tell the same story.

We said we weren't gonna kill him.

We voted.

Things changed.

It's time for a new vote.

I say we stick with the original plan,

don't go to jail.

Holly?

I say we tell the truth, everything,

including you killing him.

Mel, please,

you know we can't get away with this.

If we tell the truth,

it won't be as bad for us

because she's the one

who f***ing killed him.

That is bullshit, and you know it.

If we turn ourselves in, we're all f***ed.

Mel,

your life doesn't need
