(dramatic music)

Well, once I lived the

life of a millionaire

Spending my

money, I didn't care

Takin' my friends out

for a mighty good time

Buyin' boot-legged

liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low

Couldn't find me no

friends, had place to go

If I ever get my

hands on a dollar again

I'm goin' to hold on to it

Til the eagle grins

I said, nobody knows you

When you down and out

In your pockets

You ain't got one penny

And your friends,

you didn't have any

Just as soon as I

get up on my feet again

Everybody come

and say that they're

Long-lost friends

For, Lord, without a doubt

Nobody wants you

Nobody needs you

Nobody wants you

When you're down and out

I say

Nobody wants you

Nobody needs you

Nobody wants you

When you're down and out

- What are you doing?

This is,

this is...

This why you do this?

This is what you're doing?

Is this what you want?

- No.

- Say it, say it.

You can say it.

- Say what?

- Don't f***ing touch me.

- No, please.

- Don't touch me.

- I can explain.

- You ruined it.

You ruined it.

- I'm sorry.

- What was I then?

You ruined it.

- Please, please.

Please.

- This is what you want.

- I'll fix it.

Let me go with you,

let me go with you.

- No.

- 'Cause I want you.

I want you.

- Don't.

- Please take me.

I want you.

I want you.

I want you.

I love you.

- This is not love.

- I love you.

Love you. Please.

Please don't leave, please.

(door slamming)

(crying)

- Say something.

- Go ahead.

- No, that's not how it goes.

- Come down here.

- [Ben] I love you.

- Then f*** me.

- What?

- You still love me, Ben?

- No.

It's not like that.

- It's what you want.

You love me.

- No! It's not like that.

It's not like that.

I would never do that.

Stop!

Stop!

(Mara grunting in pain)

- Do it again.

Do it again.

Do it again like him.

- What are you saying?

- Do it again!

Do it again!

- Stop!

Stop, stop, stop!

(Mara crying)

Please, please, stop.

Stop.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

- [Mara] It's over.
