Hello, My Name Is Frank Page #7

Anyone up for a swim?

- Yes!

- Yeah.

- F*** yeah.

- Okay.

( Music playing )

You're a lot like me

you got your sensibility

it shouldn't

make you nervous

when we're talkin'

in the breeze

well, everyone's

got their idea

of who you shouldn't be

but I won't compromise

us all

even if it's killing me

pressed against the rails

and, lord,

you know I chose to die

but just because

you're winning

doesn't mean

they're on your side

- get in the water.

- No way.

And everyone's got obstacles

they'll throw into your life

- come on! Come on!

- No. No.

But I can't

help you out at all

not until you decide

no! No!

And I won't miss you anymore

and our lips won't kiss

the portions we've sold

I believe

we were framed

from the start

with all the links

that have torn us apart

You're a lot like me

you've got

your sensibilities

it shouldn't

make you nervous

we're just

talking in the breeze...

- all:
Hello.

- Ha-ha.

You look like you had some fun.

Hurry up and get changed,

I'll be ready in a few minutes.

But I won't

compromise us all

the salt you put in me

and I won't

miss you anymore...

( sighs )

Well, I think

that was the best meal

I've ever had in my entire life.

- Thank you.

- ( Laughs )

You know, I really like

having you girls here.

I don't get a lot of visitors

except for Vinnie.

Oh, we'll be sure

to visit you then.

Really?

I'd like that.

Alisa.

Sorry.

Is this okay?

What? Did you think

your generation invented this?

( Laughs )

Some of us use it to calm our

ticks from time to time.

Besides, didn't someone

once tell me

I shouldn't be afraid

of a little danger now and then?

Oh...

I haven't done this in so long.

( Giggles )

- ( Hacking )

- ( Laughing )

- Ah!

- ( Frank laughs )

Why do you think

we hurt the ones we love?

Whoa.

That sh*t is deep, Kim.

We just started passing

the joint.

( Groans )

You know, I don't think

we hurt the ones we love.

It's just that

when we love someone,

we care so much that...

We can hurt them.

Yeah, I'm not gonna get myself

stuck in that trap.

I don't buy that.

I bet there's nothing better

than falling in love.

Well...

( Clears throat )

I can't say I know

anything about falling in love,

but I do know about being alone.

Ah, f***ing b*tch loser.

( Barking )

( Clears throat )

But I can tell you this.

( Sighs )

Well, I don't care how much

losing Laura's mom hurts,

I wouldn't trade a second

of the time

I had her in my life.

Even if it meant

I could get rid

of all this pain.

Living...

Being alone...

It's worse than any hurt.

Hmm. In all my life,

I've pushed people away.

( Chuckles )

Ironic, isn't it?

I've avoided going out to stores

being in public places.

I've always been afraid

of what other people

might think.

Motherfucking whores.

( Barking continues )

( Chuckles )

You even made those

stupid name tags

just in case

I did meet someone who

didn't understand.

Do those work?

Not really.

( Sighs )

But you know what?

I don't care anymore.

I... I... I'm sick and tired

of not doing what I want

because I might offend

other people.

( Sighs )

I wanna see what's...

What's out there...

Who enjoy people.

So, I've decided...

I'm gonna stop being miserable.

I'm not gonna

live in fear anymore.

And you shouldn't either,

Flossie.

You sell this wonderful place

for as much as you can.

Life's too short.

Chicken sh*t!

Well, I don't really

have a choice.

Either I sell it to Puggis

or the bank gets it.

No.

Frank is absolutely right.

We shouldn't

live in fear anymore.

What did uncle promise?

He promised

to sell the house to Puggis

so he can take care of the farm.

And he hasn't been and he won't.

We're not breaking a promise.

You know what we're gonna do?

We're gonna keep the farm.

- Can you?

- No.

- No, of course we can't.

- Sure we can.

I'm gonna move back here

with you.

I'll help you run the farm

and get it up and running again,

so we can make those payments.

We're gonna make this work.

Oh, Vinnie, I love you for that.

You can't come back here.

You've got your whole life

ahead of you.

Aunt Flossie,

you took care of me

my whole life.

You are my life.

I think that's

the most beautiful thing

I've ever heard.

Tomorrow,

everything's gonna be different.

I'm into that.

Stupid b*tch farm.

Speaking of tomorrow.

What time do you guys

want to head out

to the cemetery?

We'll go after breakfast.

I just need to find

a church to go to,

but I'm good after that.

You'll come with,

won't you, Vinnie?

Well, if you...

If you want me there.

We want you there, don't we?

Sure.

It's a birthday party anyway.

( All laughing )

Where's the joint?

( Knocking on door )

Alisa:

Come in.

Are you girls

gonna be okay in here?

It's a little cramped.

We'll be just fine.

Thank you.

This works for us.

We're really close.

( Laughs ) All right, then.

- Good night.

- Girls:
Good night.

- Good night, frank.

- Yeah.

Are you sure

you want to stay here?

Because this room

can really be hot.

Ah, better

if I'm away from everybody.

I can be loud

and won't wake anyone.

Okay. Well, here we go.

Frank:

B*tch. ( Grunts )

- Franklin!

- ( Distant ) Frank!

( Grunting continues ) Son of a b*tch.

( Barking )

Children:
( Chanting ) Frank!

Frank!

( Echoing )

Franklin, that's enough!

( Chanting continues,

sound of tape rewinding )

- On this number...

- Yeah, yeah!

( Chanting continues )

( Blinds clatter )

( Water dripping )

( Engine turns over )

( Gears grinding )

( Grinding continues )

Where's frank?

Oh, my god!

( Dog barking )

( Revs engine )

( Barking continues )

( Banjo music playing )

Frank!

- Frank!

- Pull over!

Hey, frank! Whew!

( Overlapping yelling )

- Frank!

- Vinnie:
No, frank!

I'm driving!

I'm driving!

- No!

- No, frank! No!

( Yells )

( Loud crash )

- Ah!

- Sorry.

( Sighs )

All right, try not to sleep

on your face.

I'm sorry.

You tell me

I'll never have to worry

about you, frank,

but you're always

getting yourself

into trouble.

I didn't plan it.

I... I... I woke up in front

of that tractor.

And, Laura...

There it was my dream come true.

And, that damn Puggis...

Stupid redneck b*tch!

( Barking )

I... I just didn't care.

I... I got on it

and I started driving, Laura.

Me.

I took you on this trip.

Now, I don't know.

Somehow I wanted

to convince myself

that you really were okay

to be on your own.

But everything

that you've done so far

has made me realize

you're never gonna be

okay alone.

Am I ever gonna get

to live my life without always

worrying about you?

( Door closes )

( Music playing )

We see what you do

when you're out by yourself

now I'm not

talking Hollywood

where all, all is swell

you forget

what they meant to say

better off, you're too sweet

let's sway by this coffin

from the lake

then we're not too late

we still have time to change

and if not for the great

and the grace.

You coming with us?

You really want me to?
