Nicole, just calm down!

Get off of me!

Take her to the car.|Put her in the car.

NICOLE:
What's going on?

[ Telephone rings ]

Hello?

Come on in.

[ Buzz ]

OFFICER:
Good evening, sir.

Good evening.

We stopped this young man|driving your daughter's car.

She was intoxicated|and combative.

We found drug paraphernalia...

and alcoholic beverage|containers in the vehicle.

TOM:
Christ.

We thought we'd give you|the courtesy...

of dealing with her yourself.

Now, we could put|a scare into her...

and let her|spend the night in jail.

No. Thank you, Officer.|I can handle this.

No, you can't handle it!

Nicole, just calm down.

- Calm down?|- Everything will be all right.

No, it's not gonna be|all right!

Look at you.|What are you doing--

COURTNEY:
|What is the matter out here?

Go back into the house.

Is she drunk again?

Courtney, look,|I am taking care of this.

How many times do we have|to put up with her behavior?

When is it gonna be enough,|for God's sake?!

When?

[ Courtney sighs ]|Look at you, Nicole.

Just look at you.

What kind of a daughter are you?

[ Sniffles ]|Not yours.

Thank God for that.

This is--

Carlos, please,|what did I tell you?

TOM:
Just go away.|Please. Just leave.

Go.

TOM:
You hear me?

Why do you hate me so much?

[ Sighs ]

How could you tell|the one person in the world...

that I love,|that I care about so much...

how could you tell him|to stay away from me?

Do you think the only thing|I'll do to anyone...

is screw them up?

Do you think|that I'm not worth loving?

[ Crying ]

- Nicole--|- Carlos, this is our problem.

It's our problem, not yours.

Just leave. Go.

[ Nicole crying ]

OFFICER:
|Come on, son, let's go.

Honey, listen,|come on to the house--

Leave me alone!|Just leave me alone.

Just come in the house, Nicole.

No.

Just get in the house.

TOM:
Jesus Christ.

[ Crying ]

MAN SINGING:
|Christened life

Somehow I found you here

Torn from the hope|and fear

Hold us inside

You pulled me out

Up from the world|I've known

And all that was|broken and cold

You brought me here

[ Bell rings ]

The mid-term counts|for 25% of your grade...

so I want you to pull|your thoughts together...

TEACHER:
Can I help you?

Faith in the life|we've done

OK, where was I?

It holds us inside

Ohh

From you, one look

Just one look

And everything is shattered

From you, one word

Stars burn and fall

Oh

Oh

Carlos.|You need something?

From you, one look

Just one look

TEACHER:
|Where you going?

And everything is shattered

Yo, you got a pass.

Hello?

Towers burn and fall

Fall, fall

From you, one look...

What's going on?

Packing.

CARLOS:
|Where are you going?

[ Sniffles ] Oh.

I'm going|to the Turnabout Ranch...

in lovely Escalante, Utah...

and I get to be escorted|by a lovely gentleman...

who's waiting for me|in the principal's office.

So it looks like I get to go|to boot camp before you do.

Sorry for being so dramatic|the other night.

It was stupid.

I'm sorry for not--

Don't say anything.

You couldn't do anything.

You were smart|not to say anything.

[ Sighs ]

So, Mr. Nunez...

it was great knowing you.

I hope you have|a wonderful life.

Let's leave.

What?

Let's get out of here|right now.

Aren't you|in the middle of an exam?

Like right now?

So?

I'm not gonna let you|walk out of your mid-term.

I already did.

Annapolis is gonna|look at these grades.

You're not listening to me.

I wanna be with you.

I don't give a sh*t about|anything else right now.

Mid-terms, grades,|Annapolis, your father.

I want to be with you.

Do you want to be with me?

I love you.

Don't just say that because--

Shut up.

I love you, OK?

[ Gasps ]

You know,|this guy in the office...

he's pretty damn big.

Ha ha!

Then...|let's go out on Sunset.

Oh. Ha, ha, ha!

- Come on!|- I'm coming!

MAN SINGING:
I imagine|long walks down the road

[ Nicole laughing ]

Things begin to bloom|and the sky explodes

The damage is undone

Then I know

This has got to be a dream

Machines and luxuries|don't last

Here.|You can wear this.

And I woke up half-dead|in the hourglass

Now,|does that sound funny

Wait, you're almost there

It's gone

You're almost there,|it's gone

You're almost|where what follows you

Does not bother you

I have walked|the tightrope parts of me

Toed the line|just far enough to see

Never found the gift|I got for free

You pay for them dearly

I see my forever|as one long night

And if I could|make it dark

I could make it light

I know that most|of living done...

Don't be writing on my back.

Only thought survives

Wait, you're almost there

It's gone

Aah!

Almost where|what follows you

Does not

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Plane flying overhead ]

What are you doing?

You'll see.

CARLOS:
That's pretty cool.

My shrine to Carlos.

[ Laughs ]

CARLOS:
|Can I see more of it?

NICOLE:
Yeah, sure.

[ Car horn honks ]

[ Nicole sighs ]|My suicide notes.

Creative, huh?

[ Deep breath ]

CARLOS:
|That's your mother, isn't it?

NICOLE:
Yeah.

She...

she was in bed asleep,|I thought...

so I went downstairs...

and I stayed real quiet|all afternoon...

so I wouldn't disturb her.

And then I went back up...

and she was still lying there.

My dad thinks|we're the same person.

Did he say that?

He doesn't need to.

What else am I supposed|to think...

except I'm gonna end up|like her?

It's genetics, right?

[ Sighs ]

Your father, though...

he really loves you.

He does.

No, he doesn't.

Nicole, listen to me.

He really loves you.

He just doesn't know|how to handle you.

I think you scare him.

I scare him?

You do. I mean,|you scare me sometimes.

- I scare you?|- Yes.

I mean, you...

How do I scare you?

You just get out of control.

- I do not.|- Yes, you do.

What are you talking about?

You know what|I'm talking about.

I'm 17. I'm supposed|to get out of control.

I guess.

My dad, he doesn't|understand me or...

anything about me.

Have you tried talking to him?

Yeah.

- Sober?|- Shut up.

CARLOS:
|Doesn't happen, does it?

NICOLE:
|I'm not always drunk.

[ Crickets chirping ]

[ Door opens ]

CARLOS:
Hey.

What are you doing out here?

I want to be good for you.

You are good for me.

Not if I keep taking you away...

from everything|you've worked so hard for.

I want to make things|better for once...

not worse.

'Cause I really|want to be with you.

I can't keep running|away from things.

I'm here for you.

I know you are.

[ Woman singing ]

Well, do you have|a 310 listing for J. Foster?

OPERA TOR:
No listing, sir.

Well, try B. Foster at 818.

F-o-s-t-e-r. [ Sighs ]

OPERA TOR:
No, sir.|There's no Foster in 818.

OPERA TOR:
|Should I try the 310 again?

Sir? I'm trying|to help you, sir.

Hello?

[ Sighs ]

Well, I've been up all night.

Trying to call everybody.

I called Maddy and Lainie|and your friend Foster...

who apparently doesn't|believe in telephones.

[ Sighs ]

Honey, I know you don't want|to go to this school...

but it's supposed|to be extraordinary.

Marty Sheen says it's top-notch.
