We're here to help you, okay?

Okay?

I think maybe you went too far.

That's all? Huh? Is he okay?

Don't cry, buddy.

Oh, wow, you.

Hey, guy, how about you turn around

and get the f*** out of here, all right?

Get out of here, a**hole, get out!

I need the man you're killing.

Oh, we're not kidding around.

Would you get this guy gone?

Oh... sh*t, my eye! Oh, f***, man.

Where are your keys?

Oh, f***, my leg. Just get

me to a hospital, please.

Where are your car keys?

I... I don't know. Jack, please.

Please, Jack, just get me to a hospital.

Are these them?

- Um...

- Are these your keys!

Yeah, yeah.

Hey!

Okay, who are you?

What's up? Someone just dropped him off.

Hey, where'd you go?

Nowhere.

You left the room and

showed up two hours later.

You went somewhere.

I had to get medication.

Oh... I won't ask, because I

know most people don't like...

to talk about their

personal medicine stuff.

Like, I used to have this

tiny addiction to Adderall...

and I know I wouldn't

want to talk about it.

So, what do you want to do today?

I'm doing it.

So, are we gonna do anything today?

I'm still doing it.

Ooh, do you want to get

drunk and complain about Mom?

I don't drink.

Oh... no, that's good.

It's a good decision. No meat, no alcohol,

what about smoke? Do you smoke anything?

Nope.

Wow, Jesus Christ, you're boring.

I mean, what do you do all day?

Nothing much.

Nothing's... good.

Sure.

Is there a way to walk back to that bar...

because I left my car there and...

What time is it?

Almost 6:
00.

Bingo!

How often do you come here?

At least three days a week.

Well, how many times do you win?

Eh, once a month.

Four. Here... take this.

$20, please?

And how much money do

you get in that month?

First game is regular bingo

or four corners... $50, $50.

$100.

How much did this cost?

$20.

That doesn't pay off, then.

No, no, it doesn't.

Then why do you play bingo?

Because these people don't distract me.

What?

For something to do. I

play for something to do.

Keeps me occupied.

Caller's announcing.

N-34.

Just a line anywhere?

And the four corners.

B-2.

And B-1, B-1...

anybody got B-1.

So, I've noticed that we

only have two bingo cards...

but all the other senior

citizens have like ten.

I-20.

I never play with more than two.

I don't want to keep

track of more than that.

- Oh.

- I-17.

O! O-64.

O-64.

Oh, ah, thanks.

N-41.

And the rotation continues.

Well, that was something.

It passes the time.

So does drug use.

You don't even think when you're

playing bingo. Your mind's on autopilot.

No, you're definitely a

professional bingo player.

Here they are.

Do you like bingo?

The room full of seniors bingo?

- Yeah.

- I can't say I ever played.

Well, would you consider it?

Sure.

You should come with us sometime?

You play bingo?

You don't look like the type.

I'm less than a hundred.

Um, yeah, I'll go. I work

tomorrow, but I'm off the day after.

Nice, well, we don't do

anything, so we're also open.

All right, um, are you ready to order?

Um, I'm gonna need a minute.

Okay, I gotta work on this table

and then I will be right back.

- I was ready to order.

- There you go.

- Where I go?

- You got a date.

It's bingo.

Yes, even bingo counts, when's the

last time you were with someone anyway?

How old are you?

- 19.

- So, 19 years.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

You'll be fine. No, she's

nice... and you'll have fun.

Do you know him?

Don't look at him.

- What?

- You can see him?

Yeah, why wouldn't I see him? He's solid.

Just ignore his existence,

even if he speaks to you.

Should I ask who that is?

Not at all.

- Bad guy?

- Yeah.

All right, f***.

You all right?

Yeah.

You're kind of out there, aren't you?

- Probably.

- Yeah, that's okay.

Me, too.

Can I talk about Mom for a sec?

What happened between you two?

Do you know how long your

mother and I were together?

I can't say I do.

A month, no, less.

Really?

Yeah.

Were you married before Mom?

- Yes.

- Really?

More than twice.

Are you guys ready?

I am, are you?

I've been ready.

- Cara!

- Yeah?

Phone.

Ugh, yeah, I'll be right there.

Sorry, so did you guys play bingo today?

Sure did.

Anybody win?

Nobody wins in bingo.

I could go for being buzzed.

Okay.

Can I borrow your car?

Yeah, you should ask that

after the buzzed comment.

I can?

I don't have a car.

Right, what do you need a car

for when you only go three places.

That's the idea.

You all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

- I don't see anything.

- Let's go.

Where are you going?

Be back in a minute.

Okay.

Jesus f***ing Christ, that's

gotta be a f***ing record.

I saw him drink it.

I'm just glad he didn't

kick it at the diner.

All right, let's go.

Aw, man, he's heavy.

The metal we f***ing

wrapped him in doesn't help.

F***ing tired, been up too long.

Agh!

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t,

did that just f***ing happen?

Whoa, no, no, he's gonna

come back up, all right?

Come on, Larry, a**hole. Swim back up.

Swim on up, a**hole!

F***, what do we dive in after him?

You f***ing dive in.

It's f***ing freezing, man!

They're gonna be askin'

us what happened to Larry.

What are we supposed to say then, Steve?

What are we supposed to say

f***ing happened to Larry?

You gotta dive in!

No. No, I'm not doing it.

You're right, I'm sorry.

I've been cruel to...

Get the f*** in the water, Steve!

Agh! My eye!

Whoa, whoa, is that him?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Oh, come on, it's not him.

Who the hell else is it

gonna be, you d*ckhead.

It doesn't even f***ing look like him!

Why are you even questioning

this? Of course, it's him.

Sh*t...

You gotta be f***ing kidding me.

He's gotta be on uppers

or bath salts or something.

- All right, go shoot him.

- I'm not going out there.

- There's no way I'm stepping out of this vehicle.

- My eye...

We should go, we should go, we should go.

Oh, god, why is he looking at me like that?

Oh, god, oh, god, chill

out, chill out, man!

No, no, no! Oh god, oh god, oh god.

What happened?

Rain.

It's not raining.

It was about three miles west of here.

Where were you? I mean, The Weather

Channel said nothing about water?

I took a walk.

When you left, you didn't say where

you were going and I mean now...

You have to go now.

What?

Leave.

Now?

Yes, now... in the next 60 seconds.

Wait, what's going on?

Get out of my house.

Seriously?

Yes.

I don't understand, why? What's going...

Get out, you un-aborted brat.

I don't want you here. No one wants you.

Go on... f*** off.

F*** you.

Agh!

Hey.

It's extrememly rude.

Shut the f*** up, b*tch!

You're at my door every goddamn day!

Leave me the f*** alone! I turned it down!

I turned it down! Leave! Goddamn it! Jeez.

I pay my rent over here!

What else do you want from me, huh?

See you later!

Adios! Get the f*** out!

F***ing suck a dick, b*tch!

For god sake! Hey, Lou-boy!

F*** off, douche!

Mornin'.

Morning.

You know, you're an hour early?

Yeah.

How long you been here?
