you want to do,

but I don't think anything

illegal actually took place.

F***, no.

I mean, it was really...

It was something that was from,

I felt like it was from my...

Doing the best

what I thought was the best.

If we're all done here I'd like to

get the hell out of here, please.

Yeah. Is there anything

we can do for you?

You've done more than enough.

I... I...

I'm very sorry.

You got that?

Excuse me.

Do you need me

to sign off on anything?

Please leave.

Hey.

Hey, get in the car, man.

Pete?

Come on, Pete,

get in the car, man.

Where are you going?

It's f***ed up, don!

- I'm sorry, i...

- Why didn't you tell me?

I did. I tried. That's what I tried

to say when you were leaving.

- I wanted to tell you, I told you...

- I didn't know what that meant!

I just didn't wanna...

I didn't wanna

tell you 'cause...

It's f***ing weird that you

were doing it anyway, Donald!

It's f***ing strange!

I didn't want you to

feel bad about it.

Why is that?

Because I didn't want you to feel bad,

like, that you weren't here to seize...

You don't have to worry

about how I feel, man!

I have this!

I had this, I...

I had my relationship

with my grandma, all right?

- I know you do.

- I don't need you

pretending to be me!

Okay? I have my reasons why I

didn't f***ing come back here!

I hope it's nothing I did,

you know. I mean...

No, Donald,

it's not about you, man!

It's not! Look, I don't like

this place, do you understand?

I don't like how I feel

when I come back here.

All right?

So, if it's been 20 years,

then it's f***ing been 20 years!

I'm sorry, I just...

I don't like who I am when

I'm back here, you understand?

Yeah, man, I don't f***ing...

I just don't think

you should sweat it. I just...

Let me f***ing give you a ride,

you have all this sh*t.

Where are we even going?

Where were you going?

This is a good spot.

Yeah.

It is great.

Can you hold this?

Mm.

Yeah.

Well...

You going to do it?

Well, there's not a scooper.

Just use your hands.

You want me to do it?

No, no, I'll do it.

Here, take the top.

You mind if I say

something first?

- Just a few words?

- All right.

Um...

I just want to

take a moment to...

Give bless to god

for creating Nona.

And I want to thank her for all the

chill sh*t she used to do with us.

And show me...

Show me stuff.

Thank you.

Amen.

Amen.

Can I do one?

Yeah, sure.

No, don't, no, don't do that.

I was doing it for grip.

- Use your other hand.

- I'm right-handed.

- Don't.

- All right.

Drop it.

I know she's still on us.

Yeah.

You could use the snow.

Here.

Okay, Nona, that's enough.

You can go now.

I'm waiting for you.

I don't want to do anything

unless you tell me.

Um...

All right. Well...

What do you think about...

Maybe, uh, smoking some...

Some weed. Do you have any weed?

Yeah. You want to smoke weed?

Yes.

- You do?

- Yeah.

Really?

Yeah, let's go

and smoke some weed.

You want to smoke weed with me?

- Yes.

- Yeah.

F***, I mean,

I thought you had...

Stuff you had to do.

No, I... no, it's all done.

No, I...

No. Sorry if I was, like,

kinda crazy earlier.

I don't want you to be

sorry about anything

because I knew today,

getting involved with you,

it was going to be tough,

kind of a tough day because

of your mourning process.

If smoking weed is

going to help you out,

then that's what we need to do.

Doctor's orders.

Do you want to go

to the f***ing spot?

- Do you want...

- Can we?

- In this?

- Yeah.

Yeah, let's take it

to the next step.

Let's take a step further

and go to the f***ing spot.

- All right.

- All right?

- Yeah.

- Oh, this is...

Now we're getting to it.

Now we're getting down to it.

- Now we are?

- Yeah.

Now, we definitely are.

Here. You ready? Shotgun.

No, don't shotgun me.

- Shotgun it.

- No.

- Why?

- Because I don't do that.

- Shotgun me.

- I don't shotgun.

There you go.

Yeah.

- Climb up it.

- All right.

Let's see if you can.

Uh, yeah.

Oh, good god.

Oh, sh*t.

Yeah.

The upper body.

I went all the way

up this one time.

- No, you didn't. -I swear to god.

I actually...

Climbed this,

all the way to the top.

I probably shouldn't do it

right now.

Because my hands...

Ow.

Do you need me to save you?

Hold on.

Yeah, push...

Just give you a push?

No, no...

What? What?

No, my nuts are stuck.

My nuts are stuck on to this.

They're stuck. Ah!

Okay, okay.

Don't...

- Are you all right?

- Ah, no.

Ow!

I didn't just want you to

push me, I was telling you

how my balls were stuck

on a knot on it.

One.

Two.

Three.

- Oh, f***!

- Nice, nice.

Yeah!

Wow.

Yeah, you look good, man.

- You think so?

- Yeah.

Right now, I am...

Feeling the best I've felt.

This is the best I have felt

in probably...

Fifteen years.

- Really?

- Yes.

This is the best I have

felt in 15 years.

Ow.

Oh, sh*t.

The f***ing cops.

Oh, no, are they out there?

All right, all right.

No ice balls.

Come on.

- Come on!

- Oh, sh*t.

Sh*t! I'm sorry.

It's all right, it's good.

Sometimes the competition

is a little bit too much for me.

You're getting weak in the city.

You've gotten weak

in the f***ing city!

Come on.

Hey, you remember, um,

Randy and Danny Dipmeyer?

Yeah, I remember Randy.

Yeah, well, his brother, Danny?

Yeah.

Like, four years ago,

he ended up

getting into a motorcycle

accident, him and his dad,

and they got hit in

a head-on collision,

and Danny got

f***ing ripped in half.

They found him ripped in half.

- Oh, Jesus.

- Isn't that f***ing crazy?

When they found him they found

his legs on one side of the road

and his torso on the other side.

Ain't that crazy?

Yeah, that's f***ed up, man.

'Cause that's where

I get my stuff.

Sometimes I go to Randy Stell,

which, he's not quite the same,

but...

You know, if you had to choose,

who would it be?

You would pick Danny?

If someone had to get ripped apart of

the two of them you would pick Danny.

God, f***!

And Kristin Meeken, I had her

at my house today, man.

You talk to her now?

Uh, no, she's

my real estate agent, so...

It's been...

To talk to her and watch her

online, I know, you know...

She sells real estate,

so I thought...

I'll contact her,

and she can sell Nona's house.

And then...

And then...

I can...

I don't know,

I thought that, you know,

if she sold the house

that then maybe we could...

Man, I don't even know

what the f*** I was thinking.

I'm f***ing so stupid.

You know...

You ready to go?

Let's go in.

- In there?

- Yeah.

- You want to? -Yeah, that's

why we came here. Let's go.

I don't know, man.

I might pass on this.

Now, come on, man.

You're just freaking out.

It's crazy.

Was it this far, man? I don't

remember it being this far.

Yeah, go.

Sh*t.

Oh, sh*t.

Here, light the ones

above your head.

All right.

Yeah, man. I still...

I'll still come here

once in a while, you know.

Yeah, man.

Our little spot.

If I can't handle the sh*t...

Yeah. I say, take an emotional
