Oh! Oh!

Oh, no, no! Get up, get up!

Whoa! What the f*** is this?

Hit me, hit me.

- Get up!

- Hit me.

Hit him! Wait. Stop.

What the f***?

- No stopping. It's on.

- No, no, no. This isn't how it usually is.

Willie, get the f*** up now!

- What is this? A f***ing fix?

- Hit me.

Willie, you do not get

to throw this, man. Get up!

- Upside! Upside!

- This is f***ing bullshit. This is fixed.

This little motherf***er

is trying to rip us off.

Hey, Willie. What do we got here?

- Huh?

- Wait.

Hey, hey, stop!

Don't make me do this. F***ing hit him.

- Don't, JJ! JJ!

- Hit him.

- F***ing hit him!

- Don't burn her!

JJ, give him the book.

Don't make me tell you again, Willie.

F***ing hit him.

I'm not gonna hit him.

Fine.

No!

JJ, come on. JJ, come on!

Sir...

I'm going to leave this monitor on.

Just speak up if you need anything.

Okay?

My mommy gave me this diary...

the Christmas before she went to heaven.

She told me to write in it every day...

because every day...

that we're alive is special.

When someone loves you that much...

you're special "automcly."

So, when I get to heaven...

I can tell her...

about every day that I was alive...

and I won't forget anything.

I'll...

tell her about the days I was bad...

and I'll tell her about the days...

that I didn't do anything at all.

Now, I'm going to sleep.

Yo, you missed a turn.

I didn't miss the f***ing turn.

You're drunk.

Whoa! Look out!

Hey, you got a problem?

Yeah, I got two problems...

but you boys got three.

- F***.

- Oh, sh*t, sh*t.

Get out of the car.

Don't get out of the car.

Okay. Okay. He just wants the car, okay?

- F***.

- I said, "Get out the car."

Okay, you can give him the car.

Hey, man.

You just take the car, okay? I... I got...

I got 300 bucks right here.

We cool. We cool, man.

I don't want your money or your car.

I want you two boys to fight each other.

The winner gets to drive home,

but the loser...

they stay with me.

Just take the car, man. Just take the car.

You got 10 seconds.

Ty, give him... give him the keys.

- Six seconds.

- Give him the f***ing keys, man!

- Four seconds.

- Ty, give him the f***ing keys, man!

Two seconds.

Dude, what are you doing? Ah!

Ah! F***!

- Sh*t!

- F***.

"My baby, don't go"

"I never meant to feel that way"

"My baby, don't go"

"To be so haunted by a touch"

"My baby, don't go"

"I'll play it back every day"

Hi, I'm Heather. What's your name?

That's okay.

Can I talk to you for a second?

I just have one question for you.

If you died today, do you know

100% that you would go to heaven?

Because there is actually only one way

where you can be sure

100% that you'll go to heaven.

- Did you know that?

- I don't wanna go to heaven.

I want to go to hell.

"You decide"

"Don't tell them what you know"

"They have their ways"

"Of making you tell them"

"Whoo"

"He messed up"

"Forsaking our love"

"Whoo"

"It's your life"

"And it's your love"
