Cyrus Page #5

You gonna hide my belt now?

You gonna light a bag of sh*t

on fire in front of my door?

You are out of your league.

I will do whatever it takes.

Listen to yourself.

What do you think your mom would

say if she could hear you right now?

Who's going to

tell her? You?

Who do you think

she's gonna believe?

Her son, who needs her now more than

ever after his battle with panic and anxiety,

or this new guy who clearly

wants her kid out of the way?

You listen to me,

you little weirdo.

If you want to mess with me,

I'm gonna mess with you right back.

Oh, buddy.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

I was feeling

a little panicky.

I was talking to John about how happy

I am to be around you guys right now.

The thought of going back

to that house...

makes me all...

fluttery and nauseous.

You don't have to

go back there, sweetie.

You know, um,

I've never told anybody

this before, but, uh,

I used to get

anxiety attacks.

You did?

Yeah.

So I know how scary

they can be.

Wow. Did you have a good

family to help you get through it?

You know, I didn't.

I couldn't imagine

going through this alone.

Yeah, but I did.

It was terrifying.

I didn't know what was going on.

They didn't even call them

anxiety attacks back then.

I just thought

I was going crazy.

I almost left college.

But I decided to tough it out.

And that decision

made me who I am.

This could be that

moment in your life.

Where you go from

being a boy to being a man,

and you say, "You know what?

You're not gonna beat me."

- Do you guys not want me to come home?

- No.

'Cause if so, just say so,

and I'll totally find another place.

I'll figure something out.

That's not what he's saying, Cyrus.

No. Not at all.

I'm not saying that.

Look.

You know what

the right decision is.

You know in your heart

what the right thing to do is.

When I looked in my heart,

I decided that it--

I decided that

coming back here...

was not defeat,

but, in a way,

like a weird victory.

And if it's okay

with you, John,

I'd really like

to come back home.

Okay.

Thank you, John.

You're an amazingly

selfless guy.

Thanks, buddy.

It's halftime.

Are you hungry, hon?

I am so f***ed.

Honey?

I think it's time you just had a

conversation with these people--

You know,

all three of you.

I can't.

I can't do that. Why?

Because if I do,

it's just gonna be between me and him,

and she's gonna pick him, and that's it.

I lose. I can't do that.

But you tell me

she's supersensitive,

and if you really love her,

then have the conversation with her.

It doesn't, you know--

Just let the truth come out.

Good night.

Okay.

I love you.

I love you.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh, um,

I forgot to ask.

John, do you have an extra tie I could borrow?

A what?

A tie. I want to try and look

nice for the wedding tomorrow.

Uh, yeah. I think I do.

I've got a bunch of ties,

so I'll find one for you, if you need it.

Thanks.

All right, good night.

Um, wow. I didn't know that Cyrus

was coming with to the wedding.

Oh.

Yeah. Yeah. I-I--

I-I know it's a lot,

but he's going through

a lot, so--

Yeah.

Okay?

Okay.

Um,

I don't know

how to put this.

Uh,

do you ever feel like...

Cyrus is not being...

a hundred percent genuine?

How do you mean?

I don't know.

I know he's going through a lot,

and I'm not trying to deny that.

Um,

I mean, like--

I'm sorry.

Spit it out.

No. Uh--

You're just--

He's behaving in a way

that I think...

is--

um--

All right,

I don't know how else to--

I wasn't gonna tell you about this, but, whatever,

I'll show you.

My shoes were

in Cyrus's closet.

Hidden.

So, what--

what does that really mean?

I don't know.

You know,

sometimes I think--

and I want to put

this exactly right--

he might be...

acting...

out...

with this behavior.

How long have you

felt like this?

Do I feel that way?

I don't know.

I'm just unearthing things in

my own head right now. I just--

You know what?

This is too important.

We should have Cyrus come in here.

No.

Let's talk about this.

No, no, no.

Trust me.

It will really put him on the spot.

He's having panic attacks.

We'll have a great time at the wedding.

Are you sure?

Yeah. Yeah.

Cyrus.

Shh, shh, shh.

It's okay.

Shh, shh, shh.

Cyrus. Shh.

It's me.

Are you all right?

Am I all right?

Yeah.

What are you doing in my room?

I want to talk to you.

Listen, I know why you want to

come to the wedding tomorrow.

This wedding is really,

really important to me.

And my ex-wife's feelings are really,

really important to me.

And I know we've been messing

around with each other,

and it would be a great time for you to

mess things up for me and your mom.

I agree.

But here's the thing.

Do you know what it feels like

to be knocked unconscious?

Because if I sense for one second

that anything weird is going on,

or you're even thinking of pulling some sh*t,

I will knock you out.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

Good.

Then let's have a great time

at the wedding tomorrow, okay?

How you doing, Roger?

Good. Good. You look great.

Thank you.

Um,

you know this is a big day

for John, right?

Yes.

Okay.

I choose you to be mine.

To live with you

and laugh with you.

To stand by your side

and sleep in your arms.

To be joy to your heart

and food for your soul.

To bring out the best

in you always.

Jamie and Tim,

please join hands and repeat after me.

I, Jamie, take you, Tim--

I, Jamie,

take you, Tim--

to be my lawfully

wedded husband--

to be

my lawfully wedded husband--

to have and to hold--

to have

and to hold--

to love and to cherish--

to love

and to cherish--

John. John.

Yeah.

Oh, I'm in here.

What?

Cyrus, are you drunk?

What happened?

How did you get drunk so fast?

I saw the way you

looked at her, John.

You can't marry her.

You'll never, ever marry her ever.

Listen to me.

Before you embarrass yourself,

let me call you a cab and send you home,

'cause you're drunk.

Hey, hey, hey.

Stay away from my mother.

What'd I warn you

about last night?

Don't you do this to me!

She's all I have! Don't marry her!

Knock it off!

You're not gonna take her away from me!

Calm the f*** down!

You'll never f***ing punch me, John!

- Get your sh*t together!

- Just leave us the f*** alone!

F*** you!

She's all I f***ing have!

Go, John!

Go! Just go away!

- Just go away and leave us the f*** alone!

- Put some water on your face!

Stop it!

Leave us alone!

You stop it!

Stop it!

What are you doing? Hey!

Hey! Hey!

I'm not doing anything!

What, are you

out of your mind?

You stop it!

He hit me.

- Did you hit him?

- He attacked me in the bathroom!

Did you hit him?

He hit me.

John!

Open your eyes, Molly.

He went crazy in the bathroom.

Well, I didn't see

that part.

I didn't even know that happened.

So, what did you think?

Did you think that I suddenly-- I wasn't thinking.

tackled Cyrus

and was beating him up?

- How could you think that about me?

- I just reacted.
