I'm fine.

Come on.

I'm okay.

Let's go.

No, Eric. I'm okay.

No. I can swim.

- Let's go.

- No. Eric.

Eric, no.

Eric? Eric! Eric!

Eric, no. Stop.

Eric, stop. Eric. Eric.

It's just water.

- Eric, stop.

- Alright, I'm gonna drop you,

- and you're gonna swim.

- No, I can't swim. I'll drown.

- One...

- Eric, don't do this!

- Two...

- Eric, no.

- Three.

- Eric...

You all right?

See? You're swimming.

Sort of.

This isn't so bad. Hmm?

I just don't wanna be here anymore...

You know?

No one likes me here.

I do.

What?

I do.

You do what?

I like you.

You're my friend.

What's that?

What is what?

That sound.

Don't you ever wish

you were somewhere else?

I don't know.

I don't think so.

Tristan, this is so dumb.

I hate it here.

You're my friend.

I don't know.

I gotta go, Eric.

Bye, Eric.

So you don't wonder

what it feels like?

Well, sometimes I do.

What about you?

I guess so.

I mean, yeah.

Why do you think of this stuff?

I don't know. It's just...

It comes into my mind.

Hmm.

Hold on.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Dude, what are you doing?

See?

We don't even have to touch.

This is weird.

It's not weird.

It's pretty weird.

Ready?

Fine.

It felt so weird.

I didn't feel anything.

Wanna try again?

Fine.

Eew. Oh, my God.

Hey, guys. Hi, Eric.

- Hey. How are you?

- Good. How are you?

- Good.

- Good.

You know, it's been hard

- but we're getting there, I think.

- Yeah.

Back to normal. How about you guys?

Same.

I couldn't do it.

I wish I had someone to do it for me.

Oh, Jesus! God!

Eric. Excuse me.

I'm so sorry.

Daisy?

Eric.

Look.

Why is she on this?

I found her like that,

tied up on the street.

Let's go.

Eric?

Eric!

Are you alright?

What's wrong with you?

Let's go.

Come on!

Hold on.

Oh, man, this is just...

There we go.

Okay, I'm gonna give

you some of this.

You want some help, honey?

What's the matter?

What?

What's wrong?

It's just a stomach ache.

Hmm. You're not gonna eat?

What's wrong with your arm?

It's fine.

Why aren't you using it?

Stop.

Just let me see it.

What's going on, guys?

I hate it here.

That's very nice.

Thank you very much.

I do. You guys don't care.

You know what, Eric?

That's bullshit.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Really?

Why do you even care?

'Cause I'm your father.

I'm your dad, okay?

Something happens to your hand

and I don't know what happened?

He's just doing that

to get attention.

Hey, Tommy.

The way he acts...

that's not you, okay?

Okay.

Hey, get up.

What?

Get dressed. Come on.

Why?

It'll be fun, just come on.

No.

F*** you. Come on.

Get dressed and meet me outside.

And bring some food, okay?

Hey, Tommy!

Come here. I wanna

show you something.

Look.

It's for Ian.

Yeah.

What are you thinking about?

I don't know.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

You've been here before.

You don't remember?

There used to be train tracks here

but they don't use them anymore.

It's kind of scary.

Yeah.

You don't have to go in,

if you don't want to.

No, I want to.

Okay.

Eric?

Eric no. Eric, stop.

- Eric! Really!

- You're gonna go over!

- I'm gonna push you!

- Eric, no!

Eric, stop! Eric, really!

Okay. Okay.

It was just a joke. Calm down.

I'm sorry.

Why would you do that?

It was just a joke. It... I didn't...

I didn't think you were

gonna care that much.

I'm hungry.

No.

What?

What is this?

It's...

Why?

Well, it's Ian's dad's.

I took it cause I thought

he might want it.

And...

I'll throw it away someplace.

It's rotten.

Why are you burning it?

No. No. No. Sh*t.

Sh*t.

God damn it.

Have you ever thought about jumping?

Yeah.

A little.

But I never would.

What are you doing?

I'm making a grave.

For what?

For the raccoon.

Do you want to say something?

It's kind of what people usually do.

Okay.

Dear raccoon,

I'm sorry you died.

And I'm sorry that my brother

burned you after you died.

I hope you come back

as a better animal

unless you liked being a raccoon,

then I hope you come back as that.

Amen.

Oh.

Here.

What if I roll off?

You're not gonna roll off.

I roll in my sleep.

I'll hold you.

Missed.

It's all up to me.

Wow.

- Oh!

- Stupid.

What did he look like

when he fell... I guess?

He, uh...

He looked like Ian.

Was he happy?

I don't know.

How was he before he died?

He was mostly happy.

That's what he looked like.

He looked happy.

Do you think he jumped?

Who said he jumped?

I don't know, people.

You know, he... He could have fallen.

Just playing around like a kid.

Slipped.

Do you think mom will get mad at us?

I don't know. Who cares, man?

Who cares what she thinks?

Do you think it hurt?

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, man.

You're my friend.

Okay?

Don't forget it.

It's okay, Daisy.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay, I got you.

I won't let you go.

It's okay, Daisy.

I got you.

I got you, Daisy.

Okay, Daisy.

I'm gonna count to three

and I'm gonna let go and

you're gonna swim, okay?

Three...

One, two, three.

Knock him down, Tommy.

Come on, Tommy. Take him down.

Come on, Tommy. In the circle.

- Go, Tommy.

- Get him down already.

Come on.

Come on, Tommy. Let's go.

Tommy, go. Come on, Tommy.

- Let's go.

- Go!

- Nice job, old man!

- Nice, Tommy.

Me and you, come on.

- Eric, come on. Go Eric.

- Come on, Eric.

Come on, Tristan.

Get back in.

Come on, Eric. Get up.

Let's go. Eric.

Let's go, Eric. Get his legs.

Oh, sh*t.

Damn, man.

Come on, Eric.

Eric?

Oh! Dude.

- Yo, Tristan, watch out!

- Hey!

You f***ing psycho!

I'm sorry.
