James White Page #4

I just need to get her

into a room.

James, that's not possible.

She shouldn't be at the hospital.

Why?

That's no! how

hospice works.

If she needs help,

you call the hospice care.

What do you mean, hospice?

She's not in hospice.

Yes, she is, James.

Now they're

your main care provider.

James, if she 's admitted

to the hospital,

you'll lose hospice.

They've explained this to her.

What, when?

December.

Did she not tell you?

No, I was away.

Nobody told me.

Isn't somebody

supposed to tell me'?

I'm really sorry.

What's important how

is get her out of the hospital.

(James) Well, then if I

Can't keep her here

then what am I supposed to do?

Mom?

We have to go home.

[whispering]

Hi, Mom.

Hello, James.

Mom, do you remember

what year it is'?

It's 2013.

Thank God.

You really scared me.

You remember?

No, I don't.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Thank you.

Of course.

I'm just glad that you're back.

Can I borrow a pillow?

I'm right in the next room.

You want the lights on or off?

Off.

Okay.

(James) Hey, Genie. (Genie) Hey.

We can't have flowers in the house.

Why?

Her immune system

can't handle them.

I'll get rid of them.

Okay.

Um, is that for her'?

Yeah.

I can take it to her.

Oh, great.

Thanks.

You got to stop

talking like that.

Of course I will.

Okay'?

Hello.

Jesus Christ.

Why is everyone so sad'?

Mom, can you try eating a little

bit of this for me? Sure.

Ready to go? (Nick) Yeah.

(Nick) Okay, my lovely Gail.

So good to see you, Nick.

So good to see you too, babe.

You're not going to let him get

away with too much sh*t, right?

Definitely not.

Thank you for my flowers.

No problem.

We're so lucky to have you.

I'm lucky to have you, babe.

Get some rest, okay'?

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

Bye.

See you later.

Okay.

[inhales and exhales deeply]

Mom, stop it, okay'?

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

I'm here.

I know.

I know.

But I'm going now.

Okay.

Okay'?

All right.

So when are you moving back'?

I don't know. I got to take care

of some stuff back there first.

But I don't need you down there.

I need you here.

I need help.

Well, I'm here now.

You want to go home?

No. Let's go out.

Let's go to your friends.

Let's go to your friends.

Well, you have

your interview tomorrow.

You don't want me

to meet your friends?

I thought you wanted me

to meet your friends.

Of course I do.

Okay, let's go.

[hip hop music]

Yo.

Yo.

These kids are like 16.

Is Jayne in high

school or something?

Yeah, Jayne's in high school.

Yo, I'm ready to go.

Give me 10 minutes. I'm onto something.

No, man.

Yo, 10 minutes, bro.

I'm about to sell this

dude a blunt for 50 bucks.

Ten minutes.

Who'?

The Asian boy.

Ten.

Dude, 10, we're done.

(Leland) He was going to

change the game lyrically.

Astound the masses, now he's

passing all the lasses.

Got his class

but not his glasses.

Only wanted him to make it bump

And lift you up

off your lazy asses.

So then he wrote one

just for the hell of it.

Just to prove a point, the

point that it was effortless,

but then it blew up,

rocket up to number one.

He thought it was hilarious,

just another, just for fun.

Homie warned me...

Jayne.

Don't be a b*tch, it's just for

fun, this sh*t'll never stick.

[Leland rapping]

'Sup?

Tired?

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. What's up, buddy?

You look anxious.

Excuse me? You look anxious.

Your hands fidget.

I came out, I felt

some weird, you know...

Oh, sorry, bro,

for getting that on you.

That's cool. What's

your name, my man?

I'm Leland.

Leland.

Stop talking, Leland.

You cool'?

Now I'm cool.

Yeah, we're cool.

Where you going?

To get my coat.

Hey. How long?

Where are we going to go'?

Home.

Let's go home.

I don't want to go.

It's cold.

I don't want to go home.

I don't want to go home.

(Nick)

Come on, man!

See? You're going to bust your ass, man.

Get down.

I don't want

to go home

[Don't Let the Sun Catch

You Crying" by Ray Charles]

What'?

(Jayne) No thing. What? What?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Nothing.

No, it's fine.

We're cool.

We're having fun, right'?

Yeah.

No. You want to go?

You want to leave?

You want to leave?

You can go with Nick if you want

'cause he wants to leave too.

Tell me I'm wrong.

[slams door]

[glass shatters]

F***!

(Nick

Yo! )

You're acting crazy, man.

Hey, listen.

Hey, just relax.

You're walking fast, man.

You walking too fast, man.

You walking too f***ing fast, man!

Relax, man. Chill out.

Don't come at me like that, man!

Chill out.

You know what I'm saying?

Chill out.

Don't f***ing come at me

like that, man.

I'm right here.

I'm right here.

You need to relax!

You're scaring us!

You're scaring Jayne.

You need to relax!

Listen, she may die any day.

She is scared to death.

Hey.

Hey, come on.

Get off.

No, I'm here man.

Come on, just relax.

I need you to relax, man.

[Jayne gasps]

F***.

Are you okay'?

Yeah.

You see'?

You need to relax!

No, you see what I'm saying?

You're scaring her.

You're scaring her.

[grunting]

(James) Would you listen to me.

Listen to me!

Would you dispose

of a dead body for me'?

Would you dispose of a dead body?

Yes, I would. Would you?

Would you, for me'?

Dude, no question.

No question.

Would you for me'?

[knocking]

Would you?

Go answer that.

Go get it.

No question!

No question!

[chatter at door]

No need to fight me.

Dude, what am I supposed to do?

What am I supposed to do?

No one tells me anything!

She doesn't tell me anything!

What am I supposed to do'?

What am I supposed to do'?

Please calm down, man.

Please, bro.

(James)

Damn it.

Nick.

Yo, yo.

Wake up.

Sh*t.

What time is it'?

Sh*t.

Yo. Can you

help me, please?

Just get in the shower, come on.

No, man, I don't have time.

You got time to shower, man.

You smell like sh*t.

Gel in the shower.

Can you help me clean up'?

Can you please help me clean

up the room? Yes, yes!

I'm f***ing late

for my interview.

Yo, Nick, grab my shirt.

Here, wear mine. What's

wrong with mine?

Yours smells like alcohol.

Drenched in it.

Dude, can you get my other stuff?

I got to go, man.

I am late.

Nick, please hurry up, man!

Yo, put your pants

on first. I got it.

Goddamn it.

Are you coming'?

Uh, no, I'm going to

stay and clean up. What?

I'm going to stay and clean up.

Alright.

I got to go.

My notebook?

Okay. Let's go.

(James)

How bad was it?

Pretty bad, man.

You scared us.

You should probably

get your sh*t together.

I should get my sh*t together?

Yes.

That's coming from the clown

who works at a resort?

Least I can dress

myself in the morning

and make it to meetings on time.

Who just paid for that room'?

I did because

your card declined.

Good f***, fam.

(Maggie)

James, hi,

I'm Maggie, Ben's assistant.

How you doing?

I'm sorry, it's going to be a

little while longer. It's cool.

He wanted to know

if you have the copy test'?

No, but can I just maybe

email it to him later?
