Mm, yeah, that'd be

the one thing?

- That would be it.

- Yeah.

Yeah. I get swept up in it.

Makes sense.

I really do feel I get

carried away sometimes.

It's cool, don.

It's cool?

You had fun

doing that?

- You had fun?

- Yeah, I had fun.

Yeah?

- You really did?

- I did. I did. It was cool.

Donald, it's straight ahead.

Donald, it's straight ahead!

You know what we're gonna do?

Actually, I just

thought about...

don, it's...

don, it's this...

We're gonna go see, Touty. We're

gonna go see the godfather.

Donald, no.

I have an appointment

in ten minutes.

Donald, I need to be

at the nursing home.

We are in Touty's

neighborhood right now.

If he knew we were here and we didn't

stop by, he would throw a f***ing fit.

I'm not doing this again.

Please, turn the car around.

I need you to go to

the nursing home.

We gotta do it. He'll f***ing

kill me if we don't.

And it's something

I got to deal with.

I'll take you to

the nursing home,

but we just have to do

this one thing, okay?

There's no way out.

This, and then

the nursing home, okay?

Yo, what's up?

Look who's, uh, back

in town to come see you.

What's up, Touty?

How are you doing?

What are you guys up to?

You just...

Kinda...

Doing this, watching this?

You mind if I hit that?

You want any?

No, I'm good.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

Touty, what have you

been up to, man?

Just roofing.

Construction.

Nice.

Dude, I just saw your brother

the f***ing other day.

That kid is a f***ing beast.

He's a f***ing Ace.

- F***ing jacked up, man.

- Yeah.

He must be absolutely

just like...

F***ing tripping out

right now, right?

He likes seeing us, the three

amigos, back in town again.

Like someone

just took your brain,

and dropped it down

into a time hole.

Just being here

with f***ing LTT.

Latang, Touty, Treebeck.

The f***ing three horsemen

letting it ride again.

Remember the last time

I saw you?

At Chrissy's graduation party?

You pissed in a bottle.

Made Donald drink it.

Everyone laughed at him.

You made Donald cry.

I just remember thinking

if that was me...

I would've knocked you out.

I got 40 bucks.

- I don't want it.

- Take it.

- Take it.

- I don't want it, Donald.

- I thought you needed it?

- No.

- Take it!

- I don't want it.

- Take the money.

- Stop!

Just watch the road, okay?

- Donald, get it out of my...

- I want you to take the money.

- I want you to take the money.

- Put the f***ing money away!

No, take it.

- No.

- Take it.

Stop!

- Take the f***ing money.

- Donald...

Take the f***ing money or I'm gonna

stick it in your f***ing pocket.

I don't want

your f***ing money, man!

Well, now it's gonna

f***ing stay up there...

- Then leave it there! -...And

no one's gonna have it.

Just f***ing listen to me!

I don't want it to stay up there 'cause

then it might f***ing blow out the window.

Then none of us will have it.

Retard.

What'd you call me?

I don't know...

I don't know if I should

be concerned or not,

but does he seem like he might

be suffering from depression

to you?

I don't know.

Do you think that that was helpful,

us going over there?

I don't feel like I really

cheered him up, Donald.

No, I think you did.

That's how he is

all the time now.

That's why I'm saying, I don't know

if I should be concerned or not.

Well, it was fun for me, so...

Thanks.

You sure you don't

want me to hang here at all?

Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, I could just

wait right outside here.

No, don, really, it's fine.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Well, you know

you can call me, right?

If you need to,

you will call me?

I do, I do.

- Thanks a lot, man.

- Do you know what you're doing?

Yeah. I got stuff to do

in there. But, really...

You sure you'll be all right?

It's been good to

see you, all right?

All right, it's good

seeing you too, man.

I missed you.

All right,

I can grab that for you.

No, I'm good. I'm good.

All right.

Just like I said,

if you need me call me.

All right, don.

- All right.

- I'll see ya.

Just, uh, hey...

If there's, just...

I don't know. Remember,

whatever I did, or do, I...

I did it for Nona, okay?

Okay.

I'm the youngest of eight kids.

And... my mother and father

were never in a nursing home,

we always took care of them.

I spent a lot of time

doing that.

That's really nice.

Peter.

- Hi.

- Hi, I'm Barbara.

I'm so sorry about

your grandmother.

I actually transferred here

from another home,

the day after she passed, so,

um, I never really got

a chance to meet her, but...

Um, from what everyone says,

she was a wonderful lady.

Oh, yeah. Thank you.

Yeah, she was.

Uh, is there any questions

I could answer for you, or...

Uh, I'm sure

if I don't know something,

there's people here who've

been here longer

who could sit down

and talk with you.

Yeah, no, if I think of anything

I'll ask,

but I'm just here to, you know,

- collect her affairs.

- Okay.

Um, she came in

with very little?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

I just wanted to make sure.

Um, okay, so it's right here,

twenty two.

And I think you'll find

there's a small box there

with some photos

and other knick knacks, so...

Make yourself at home.

Um, there's no rush, and if you

need me I'll be in my office.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- Bye bye.

Excuse me, sir.

- Yes?

- We need to see some ID.

He was out on the grounds.

Thank you.

- Hi, there.

- Barbara.

Donald Treebeck.

We seem to have some

identity issue here.

Yes, he, uh...

This gentleman informed me

of that, so...

I'm Donald Treebeck,

this is the Peter Latang.

Continue.

Um...

Just from...

Like the whole... okay.

Uh, how are you doing?

Um, yeah, I mean,

I just came and...

He was coming to visit Nona, and I also

really wanted to get his contact information

because we hadn't

seen each other for a while.

So, which you guys

couldn't give out

- because of the legalities.

- Mm-hmm.

Is that right?

- Yeah, uh...

- Mm-hmm.

And, so Nona, just,

you know, her condition...

She didn't know much

of anything at this point,

and she just assumed I was you.

And so I didn't want

to let her down

and, uh, you know, really, everything I

was doing was from my heart, really.

I felt like it was the best thing to do,

for her to have you back in her life,

so I just played you.

And the more I played him, and the

farther I went into this hole of lies,

people around started questioning,

you know. Not questioning,

thinking I was you.

So, I mean, it was really like,

a heartfelt mix-up,

where everybody around

just assumed I was him.

For like six years

that was going on.

- And, uh...

- What?

Yeah, and I thought about this day,

I waited for this day to happen,

where we're both gonna, like...

Come in to this place

and see each other,

and everyone's like, "wait,

who's who? Wait, you are...

You and him..."

Have you ever seen...

What's the movie with John

Travolta and Nick cage

- where they take each other's identities?

- -Okay!

Uh, I don't know what
