I Melt with You Page #6

- All right.

- See you around.

- Oh!

- Oh, my God!

- Oh! Oh!

- Jesus!

- Somebody call 9-1-1!

- Oh, my God!

- Call 9-1-1!

- I got him.

- They're on their way.

- I got him.

Come on.

Let's go. Live.

Let's go, live.

Live.

What happened?

Larry McCauley

had a heart attack.

- Is he okay?

- One of those guys saved his life.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I know 'em. They've been out

on the boat with me.

And they've been

hitting it real hard.

They are a motley crew.

Not from around here.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'm Laura Boyd.

Sorry to bother you.

No bother.

What's up?

The Athertons sometimes have me

pass by and check in.

I was in the area.

So there's just

the four of you here?

No, one guy took off.

But who's counting?

Nobody.

Yeah, he, uh... our buddy had to go back

to Portland for business.

- Are you the doctor?

- No, no.

He's sleeping

after the heroics.

- Yes, and it was heroic.

- Yeah.

You know, I've seen

that Porsche somewhere.

Oh, uh, yeah, my buddy,

he bought it off a local,

so probably...

- Right, yeah.

...seen it around.

And the other one's mine.

It's a rental.

That one?

That one there? That's yours?

- What's your name?

- Ron.

Why?

Something wrong?

No, no, Ron,

there's nothing wrong.

You look like sh*t, Jonathan.

I'm making a salad.

How long has he been sleeping?

Hours.

Yo, Ronaldo.

Hey, man, um, we got something.

You gotta try this.

I'm so scared.

Of what?

You mean Timmy?

- That cop that was here?

- What we're doing here.

Yeah.

Amanda left some messages, man.

The feds are at my home.

I robbed clients,

but I never cheated on Amanda.

I never cheated on her ever.

- All right.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Never.

And, you know,

in the beginning,

I was trying

to help people, man.

I'm trying, you know,

to enrich them.

And then...

...something gets inside you,

some... some rationale,

you know.

And then you just take

a little for yourself,

just a little bit, and then...

you know, one zero

turns into two and three

and more and more and more

and more and more, man.

More.

You can't...

it's just...

it's just a drug, man.

You just... you get high

and you drift.

Why'd you need so much?

I love taking care

of my family, man.

I was the man.

I was the man

for a while, Rich.

I wish you coulda seen me.

I really wish

you coulda seen me.

Amanda... will...

will she forgive you?

No one will.

Will you do it?

- F*** you, Ron.

- Please.

- Please. Do it.

- No.

- I can't do it.

- Don't... don't...

I have to do it.

I have to.

You don't have to.

You... you can go home.

You can face it.

I've tried, man.

I tried. I can't.

I tried to think

of myself going home

and s-s-seeing her

and having her look into me...

in my eyes, and I...

I can't face it.

I can't face it.

I can't.

You have to do it.

Please.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Please do it.

I remember when I met you.

You were such an a**hole...

...but you were cool.

Yeah, you were this dark guy

with his dead dad,

and I thought you were...

you were so cool.

You turned me on

to "Holiday in Cambodia".

Remember that?

You remember?

And I turned you on

to The Pretenders.

"You arrived like a day

and passed like a cloud.

I made a wish.

I said it out loud.

Everybody heard.

It was the talk

of the town."

Shh, shh, shh.

Stop talking now.

Okay?

Okay.

There you go.

There you go.

Is he awake?

Okay, I feel better.

What the f***

are we doing here anyway?

We're not even here.

F***.

I f***in' told him

to go home, you know.

I told him, "Go home."

Ronnie never listened

to anybody.

I could've saved some face

They think that

your early ending

Was all wrong

For the most part,

they're right

But look how

they all got strong...

I f***in' hate pool.

That's why I say,

hey, man, nice shot...

Pool's for a**holes.

Can't handle your beer, huh, f*ggot?

That's why I say,

hey, man, nice shot...

Hey. Hey, man!

That's our drink, a**hole.

You made fun of my misfortune,

and you made a gay slur.

Oh...

I drank your drinks.

Who the f*** are you?

How can that possibly matter?

You're gonna buy us

two more f***in' drinks, brother.

Or you're gonna buy

yourself a taxicab to the hospital.

I'm not buying you anything.

My friend's a physician,

so I get treatment right here

should I require it.

You're barking up

the wrong tree, a**hole.

I'm your worst

f***ing nightmare!

Wow, you need

new material, my friend.

"Barking up the wrong tree"?

"Worst f***ing nightmare"?

This guy.

You're joking, right?

Here, here, I'll give you one.

I'll give you one.

I f***ed your girlfriend

so hard in the ass,

she cried... for more.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Dude, dude, I'm sorry.

That's been used before, too...

By all the motherfuckers

who f***ed your cock-sucking

whore girlfriend in the ass.

That's why I say,

hey, man, nice shot...

Punish me for what I have done.

A good shot, man

That's why I say,

hey, man, nice shot

What a good shot, man

A man

Has gun

Hey, man

Have...

- Yes?

- Mind if I have a word with you?

- Yes.

- I heard about the fight last night.

Bartender said

you got hit pretty hard.

Oh, yeah.

I deserved it.

See, I've got a problem

that I need to solve.

Yeah?

Yeah, your...

your buddy Ron

said that the rental

in the driveway was his,

but I checked it out,

and it belongs to a Tim Arthurs.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- That car there?

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that's Tim's.

Hmm.

We're gonna return it

for him, because he...

yeah, I don't know why

Ron would say that.

Right.

May I speak to him?

- Who?

- Ron.

Um...

no.

No, he... he had to go.

Hmm.

Yeah, he left

early this morning.

- How'd he leave?

- I don't know.

Taxi.

Ah.

I don't know.

I was sleeping.

Passed out.

You mind if I look around?

You...

you really don't have a lot to do

around here, do you...

in the way of stuff to do?

Oh, that's funny.

Oh, excuse me, I got...

I got a question

about that old guy

from the diner...

how's he holding up?

His granddaughter Emily

says he's doing just fine.

Yeah? Glad to hear

he's hanging in there.

- Yeah.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Is there a problem?

Just had a question

about your cars.

I was hoping I could talk

to your friend Ron.

- Ron...

- Ron took off early, yep.

Why are you here?

Cars, right?

Can I see your eyes?

Glasses.

Scotch, right?

So, how long you guys

thinking of staying?

We're leaving soon.

Tomorrow.

That's a good idea.

F***!

F***!

Richard!

We're out of drugs.

Oh, no.

You know, I remembered,

but Timmy f***ing did it.

He didn't forget.

He never f***ing forgot.

I wanted to be the one.

I wanted to be the reason.

Go in there,

you give them this.

Don't say anything,

but if they ask,

you had a knee operation.

But they won't ask.

Richard.

Oh.

Is that what

you're looking for?

F*** 'em.

Here, I got you something.

Is that a comment

on my chosen profession?

Let's go home.

Hello?

- Hey, Jane.

- Hi, Jonathan.

He's right here.

Hi.
