Synopsis: With a thriving career in academia and a brilliant fiancé who dotes on her, grad student Calliope Girard seems to be well on the way to success.

if you're up for a drive,

she's performing down in

the Springs, this Saturday.

Maybe you could catch

her after the show.

She's his daughter.

Calliope, this cannot

come back on me, okay?

- Of course.

- Take care of yourself.

- Yeah, okay, I get.

No, I understand, I...

I do Kay, but...

Can't you just put

her on the pho...

All right, well at least

tell her happy birthday.

- Morning.

- Is it epilepsy?

- Epilepsy's a fairly useless

term, but no I don't think so.

Looky here.

Not a tumor, don't worry, it

appears to be a small lesion,

about the size of

your pinky nail.

And it appears to have

been there for some time.

Tell me, Calliope, have

you been seeing things,

or hearing voices, or

anything like that?

You know, there's no

percentage in not being

honest about this, Calliope.

Okay, well first

thing, no more TV.

Not until we get

this taken care of.

- What are the options?

- Well, considering the

seizures and hallucinations,

and whatnot, I'd say

we're pretty well past the

wait and see stage.

Now, I doubt this is

cancer, but we'll need to do

a biopsy to rule it out.

In the meantime, no

TV, try not to drive,

blah, blah, blah,

you know the drill.

Don't worry, this is nothing.

It's a little pit

stop, that's all.

Congratulations, by the way.

- It's okay Billy.

- What the f*** do

you know about it?

Sh*t, f***, I'm sorry Cali.

I love you.

- We have rotted wood all

underneath the sink here.

- I found this.

Under the bed, Billy drew this?

- No.

That was somebody else.

- Calliope, you

need to talk to me.

- Roy, not right now.

- No, I've had enough of this.

Do you understand

what this is like?

Do you get it, at all?

I'm trying so hard, Cali,

to not think you're

just a f***ing liar,

and everything you've

told me about yourself is

a f***ing lie, and the life

we've been building together,

is a f***ing lie.

- Roy...

- Are you a f***ing liar, Cali?

Talk to me!

- Roy, you're hurting me!

- Calliope, f***, I am...

- It's your birthday

next month, 18, wow.

We should do something,

have a party.

Oh wait I forgot,

that will never work,

you don't have any friends.

- Mom.

- You know, in a month,

you're gonna be an adult,

and then you can do

whatever the hell you want,

but while you're

here, in my house...

- Mom.

- You will do exactly...

- Just stop it.

- What?

- Just stop with the whole

concerned parent thing.

You don't do it very well.

- You're really something else,

after everything I have done...

You wanna go back to him?

- Dad?

- You know who I

mean, where were you?

- I told you.

- Yeah, your dads,

should I call him?

- Oh, I don't think I'm

supposed to have any of that.

- I made it weak.

So, tell me about Billy.

- She was gorgeous, I mean,

not movie gorgeous

or anything, just...

First thing I thought

when I saw her,

was how tired she was,

that nobody that young

should be so God damn tired.

She had these deep sunk

eyes, that just dug in

like corkscrews, and

this thin little mouth,

that I thought, I don't

know, I kind of thought,

I just wanted to kiss.

I always wanna f*** the

girls when I see them.

I can't seem to help it.

My eyes are words

straight to my prick,

doesn't matter who they are.

The first thing I think

when I see them is

how I wanna get them naked,

I wanna get them under me.

And I wanna f*** the God

damn sh*t out of them.

But with her, all I wanted is,

I just kind of wanted that kiss.

All I thought about for days.

I should've left

it there, I guess.

I thought she could

make me normal,

I've never been with

a normal girl before,

but I thought, I don't

know, maybe she could do it.

Maybe I could love her normal.

And then when she was gone,

I felt like my chest

was this big black cave.

I was 17 God damn years old,

and I felt like it was over.

I was dead.

I guess maybe that's why

they call me Dead Billy.

I know what you're thinking,

I know what you wanna

do, don't think I don't.

It's okay, you know.

Hey, look at me.

It's okay.

It's okay Cali, it's

okay, it's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

- How long were you?

- I don't remember.

- Come on, I'm not

paying by the hour here.

- A long time, I think

they took me away.

- Who?

- A social worker, my mom.

I think I was 17

when they got me out.

- You know it wasn't

your fault, right?

Calliope, you were just a kid.

It wasn't your fault.

- You're lovely.

- Calliope.

- Roy, listen...

Listen to me.

I wanted to be there.

I'm not exactly

who you think I am.

- Please, don't do

this, I love you.

- I love you too.

- So, what about the drawing?

- It doesn't matter.

- Calliope!

- Look, I have to go somewhere,

to talk to somebody.

- Him?

- I don't know,

maybe, I hope not.

- I wanna go with you.

- I'm sorry.

- I don't understand this.

Do you still...

Do you still want him?

- I want the best environment

for her too, I do.

What am I doing, how

do you know that?

That's what I used to do Kay,

I'm trying to be a father now,

I'm trying to be a

member of a family,

and that's what you said...

- Bill, you better get

your ass in here before...

- That's all you talk about now.

I want to, I'd learned that.

No, that's what this is, I

know that, I know the legal.

God damn it Kay, she's

my f***ing kid too.

Yeah, well, I'm not the one

who's being a c*nt about it!

- Gotta listen to him shout

like that all the time?

- Don't f***ing Bogart,

okay, this sh*t ain't cheap!

- Billy?

- You having a flashback Bill?

- Billy.

- Don't!

- Get out!

- Look at me.

Cali, look at me.

- What about your mom?

I got room, you know, if

you need a place, anything,

you know, no

strings, or nothing.

- I don't know, maybe.

- I'd really like to draw you.

What, I can draw.

- Billy?

- I'm sorry I scared you.

- It's okay, what happened?

What did she say to you?

- Don't leave, okay?

- What?

- You can kill me

if you want to,

slit my throat in my sleep or

something, just don't leave.

- I'm not going to

kill you Billy, Jesus.

And I'm not going anywhere,

you're stuck with me.

- Lovers and mad men have

such seething brains.

- Such shaping fantasies

that apprehend,

more than quarries,

it never comprehends.

- I live in this neighborhood,

and on the side of my house,

is all these Morning Glories.

Which is awesome, if you go

running at 7:
00 in the morning,

I don't, but if you

did, you would see...

The morning glories

were just out,

like they haven't gotten

used to the weather.

- What you want?

- It's a two drink

minimum, lady.

- A glass of zen, I guess.

- All right guys, we

got a lot of show.

I'm Sarah Katie,

thank you very much.

- Did you come to party?

I f***ing came to party

All right, b*tches right!

We got two more b*tches

for you tonight,

come in here, tell some

jokes, make you laugh.

This next b*tch comes all

the way from New York,

f***ing City, and if you ask me,

she is pretty full of

herself, so give it up for
