David:
What are you doing?

This was chase's idea.

We came in here for the bed.

Gentlemen, what is

this? This is unacceptable!

Is this the halftime show?

I don't think so!

All right, let's turn this off

right now, shall we? Sorry. Sorry.

I said turn it off,

I don't want...

Jesus Christ.

I'm sorry. Sorry.

Chase!

Maybe we could go up right now.

And have...

A little tongue.

Looks nice.

Yeah. Nesting, you know.

Settled in.

Just wanted to make it nice so we could

have a little chat and catch up.

Sure.

So...

So, how are you? What's

been going on in your life?

I'm good, you know.

Just busy.

Yeah, I don't know that.

It's why I had to ask you.

I'm just...

Busy is good.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm just

busy with school, you know.

Trying to finish.

Almost there.

Cool. So school is going good?

Yeah.

I always forget. Is it

marketing or management?

It's, uh, business management.

Yeah.

And what about your film stuff?

Uh, you know, I don't know...

I'm doing school and maybe the focus is

on that and getting a job and something

and then doing something

with film, I don't know...

Well, I hope you do,

because you love it

and you're really

good at it, and...

I always thought

you'd go to film school.

Yeah, I don't know. I mean I haven't

even really done anything...

What are you talking about?

Since you could hold a camera in your

hand, you've been filming things

and making people laugh and cry.

You're great.

You're really good at it.

You are blessed in that you have

a passion in your life, right?

And when a person has a

passion, they gotta jump on it.

You gotta go with that when you're

young, otherwise you get trapped,

you know,

in something practical.

Right?

Yeah.

And I could have told you all that

if you had ever asked my advice.

If you had answered

my calls or my texts.

It's just... like I said,

I've been busy. You know?

It's like a full load

trying to finish.

Are you mad at me?

Mmm-mmm.

For sure?

Mmm-hmm.

Honey, you don't

have to study business

just because it's what they

want you to do, all right?

You're a very talented filmmaker

and that's what you should

be doing with your life.

Mmm-hmm.

You have a gift.

And don't let people tell you what

you can and can't do with your gift.

Mmm-hmm.

I want us to be closer, Trey. I want

us to have a real relationship.

I do, too.

Really?

Uh-huh.

Then why can't you

even look at me?

Honey, I got my

sh*t together now

and I'm going to change my life

so that I can be closer to you.

I'm gonna move to Austin.

I'm gonna live wherever you live and

I'm gonna let you live your life.

But I just want to be close to

you and make up for lost time.

Don't you want that?

Why will you not talk to me?

Okay, I brought

this up too soon.

We can talk about it another

time, all right? My bad...

Did you ever think that maybe

I like business management?

That that's what I want to do?

Totally sorry.

Totally sorry.

Way too soon!

Not cool.

Don't be mad

at me, okay? Please.

Baby, you...

Trey...

I'm gonna go downstairs.

Please.

You know how much

I love you, right?

That's not gonna come off.

Yeah it will.

Give me the hose.

It's not coming off.

It's coming off slowly.

Dude! I took a f***ing

shower this morning!

It's just water, dude.

F*** you. No! No!

Come here! Come here!

Come here, I got you!

I f***ing love you!

Where have you been?

What have you been doing?

I have been living a life

in which I have tried to

become a better human being.

And that's as much as I'm interested

in saying to you about it.

This is a place of healing.

Right here, here it is, Krisha.

This is it. You can say

anything, anytime, anywhere.

You let me know.

When it's all said and done,

I'm married to your goddamn

sister in there and I'm family.

Thank you,

and I appreciate the offer.

And as soon as I have anything

really, incredibly revealing

that I want to say, I will definitely come

right to you and say it to you, dude.

Well, I'll tell you what,

you can even write it down

and I'll read it later.

Okay.

Shut up!

Very subtle. Shh!

Shh!

Not bad.

Who would move

a timer from the kitchen?

It's...

It's okay, babies.

It's okay.

Niko, Niko, it's okay, baby.

Lord god in heaven,

and this pony over here...

You can put

a saddle on that one.

They can feel your vibe, okay?

You need to just chill it down,

and then they will chill it down.

Animals are very intuitive.

People are very

intuitive, too, Krisha.

I know things. I am certain

that you know things.

There is no doubt that

you know things.

I'll tell you what, there are some

things that I wish I didn't know.

You are heartbreak

incarnate, lady.

You are a leaver.

That's what you are.

You are an abandoner,

that's what you are.

And I am sorry that there

is a certain harshness,

but this is the reality

of the situation.

And if you think that you can just pop in

and pop out of people's lives like this,

you are mal-informed.

You are mal-informed!

I have stayed away while

I was healing myself.

And you are not going

to change that.

F***!

That's two times.

My feelings are that

you just make it sound like

you're some college kid,

just popping your

way across the alps

on some little European backpacking

excursion, trying to find yourself.

Jesus sh*t-wind,

you're in your sixties!

Get your ducks in a row!

I always stayed

the course, though.

I always stayed the course, even when

I was miserable with your sister!

Miserable as all get out!

You think I give two shits

about these nine f***ing dogs

that f***ing schlep around with me

everywhere because they're hers?

Geiger counter.

Give me a break!

The stuff that I put up with!

I am f***ing superman!

I f***ing eat leather

and sh*t saddles!

Okay, cool.

That's great. Cool.

You might give a little thought

to the fact that your wife

also was putting up with you

while you were

putting up with her.

Because that's the way it works.

I am an imperfect soul

as well, Krisha.

And I know you are wounded,

like some damned bird that just...

Hit one too many windshields.

But I'll tell you what,

them cars are getting faster and

them wings are getting weaker.

Hey, everybody.

I got GG.

Vicki and I got her.

Come say hi.

You got lots of people to

say hi to, mom. Hello.

Here's chase, you remember chase?

Good to see you again.

I remember this fella. Yeah,

that good-looking dude.

Looking good. And then the other

good looking dude right there.

How are you? Good to see you.

I got the beard now.

Isn't he handsome!

Beautiful.

Oh, thank you. Yeah,

and here's Atheena.

Hi. Uh-huh. Hi, dearie.

You're the real beauty of the

group, but don't tell 'em...

She's the real beauty

of the group, she says.

I don't know what that means

about the rest of us.

- Good to see you.

- And there's Augustine.

- Remember her?

- Oh...

Thank you. So good to see you.

And here's David, mom.

Good to see you.

Oh, I like this man.
