should be cut out like a cancer!

Only then can the healing begin.

You murderer!

You killed a man in cold blood

in front of all these people!

Get... Call the police.

There's gotta be another phone.

There's a different set of laws

inside the order, Eugene.

Oh, yeah, you're telling me.

Get out of here.

Get out of here.

Now, on your knees!

No! No!

No!

You don't need a gun, Eugene.

You need discipline.

Oh, son of a b*tch.

Take this man

to the dressing room

and leave him there

until the ceremony is over.

Now hand me

the Grand Paddle of Fellowship

and prepare the wax.

You son of a b*tch.

All right!

Let's... Let's not act rashly, my boy.

This could affect

your standing in the Lodge.

No, Gene, don't!

Hey, take it easy, buddy.

Hey, what are you doing?

Stay down, stay down.

Stay down.

Are you enjoying the party?

What?

- Hey.

- Well, fancy that.

Well, hello, ladies!

You bastards!

You know, you could give

a guy a heart attack!

Oh, ha ha ha!

Of all the childish,

immature boner moves!

This takes the gravy boat!

Take it easy, Eugene.

It was just a joke.

You're in, MacClemore!

You passed the initiation.

I don't think

I want to have anything to do

with your ridiculous little lodge!

Measure your words, MacClemore.

Don't make me use this.

Oh, you're gonna blackball me?

Well, isn't that the bunk?

Hey, why don't you stick

that black ball

right up your smokestack,

duck arms!

Nobody talks

to Floyd Marley that way!

Oh!

Uh...

Gentlemen...

this night will not see

the expansion of the order,

but rather the branding

of the unworthy.

Take him!

- Wait a minute!

- Bind him and gag him!

Hey, stop!

This is another joke, right?

Wait a minute!

Floyd, that's fine

to have him measured up,

but you should lighten up

on the initiation some.

Nonsense!

This sort of tomfoolery

would lay a man bare,

and I wouldn't give two figs

for a man who can't take a joke!

Gavin, let's go.

We're through, Grover.

You can get up now.

What the hell?

Don't you come

near my baby, any of you.

It's the whore!

Did you do this to Grover?

What?

Stab him!

Oh, that? Yeah.

Why?

'Cause he had

something I needed.

Gavin.

You're... you're...

you're mistaken, my dear.

It's all over.

It's all over.

You're telling me.

You have to be aware,

Skip, my boy...

aware of the things around you.

Life teaches you

a great many things,

but if you're not aware,

you miss out.

You know?

No, I don't know.

Here we have

the Wicked Saguaro Saloon.

Got your clipboard right here.

Little boxes.

Just mark your Xs

when you finish your task,

put it back up on the nail.

It's real simple,

not brain surgery.

- All right.

- Do you read, Skip?

What do you mean, do I read?

It's a simple question.

Do you read?

Yeah, of course, I read.

Number one,

find the joy in reading,

'cause all the knowledge

of the world is available to you,

and it's best found through books.

Number two,

read the works of James Baldwin.

Okay.

James Baldwin said,

"You think your pain

and your heartbreak

"are unprecedented

in the history of the world,

"and then you read.

"It was books that taught me

"that the things

that tormented me most

were the very things

that connected me to all people."

Life sometimes is

very much like a book, Skip.

It's got a beginning

and a middle and an end.

You just have to know

where you're at.

Sometimes you think

you're at the end,

and you're

only at the beginning.

Uncle!

WOMAN'S VOICE

Thanks for babysitting!

Uncle!

- Drive safe.

- Uncle!

Drive safe.

I'd love somebody to come over.

He's going to live,

but he's paralyzed

from the waist down.

I hope you haven't been drinking.

What?

I said,

I hope you haven't been drinking.

It's 11:
50.

That makes ten minutes

till midnight, right?

Okay, go.

Uh, 'cause if you've been drinking,

the fall probably won't kill you.

What are you talking about?

Look, statistics show

that 80% of all incidents

involving alcohol and falling

are non-fatalities,

'cause your body's so comfortable,

it forgets to panic.

Panic is what kills.

Your body gets all tense,

so when you hit, crunch, you know?

Who... Who are you?

So if your body forgets to panic,

you'll hit a lot better.

You're kind of bouncy,

more flexible.

Usually doesn't kill you,

but it busts you up pretty good.

You know, like going limp?

So if...

if you've been drinking,

you'll be in the hospital

in three hours

and home in a week.

And that's cool if that's the point

you're trying to make.

Look, I have no idea

what you're talking about.

Who are you?

Well, that doesn't matter,

but for you, I'll make something up.

My name is Jack, okay?

I mean, it's irrelevant

as soon as you take that first step,

but, okay, we'll go with Jack.

Fine, Jack.

You want Jack?

Well, me, I'm here on a bet,

but that's not important.

It's what you want.

What I want?

You know, that is the seventh question

you've asked me?

You have

an awfully inquisitive nature

for someone who's

about to plunge to his death.

What do you care?

Eight, and I don't really.

Look, I don't really

have a lot of time here,

so let's get on with it, shall we?

Wait! Just stay right there!

Step back!

Calm down.

It's not what you think.

If I wanted to bum-rush you,

I would have done it already.

Besides, you're not that cute.

Look, just listen to me

for another eight minutes,

thirty seconds more,

and I will take off, I promise,

Scout's honor, all that.

I'll stay right here.

And I'm not gonna talk you

out of anything,

'cause I don't want that.

Fine. What do you want?

Well, I'll tell you,

I want to show you how to do it.

That didn't sound right.

I, um...

I want to show you

how to do it properly.

What are you talking about?

Come on down here,

and I'll tell you.

Man, I'm not doing anything.

I'm fine.

Just leave, okay?

I'll give you $100.

$100 to come down here

and talk to me.

For two measly minutes,

100 bucks. Come on.

No, no, no!

No, thank you, Jack.

Thank you, I'm fine.

Just please leave, okay?

Lesson number one, for free.

You didn't take the money,

but you did think about it,

and that's a lack

of total resolve, my friend.

Even though you only considered it

for a quarter of a second,

it still represents a mindset

that is not absolute,

and in order to do it properly,

it requires, number one,

absolute mindset.

You might as well step down.

Because I was just...

I was just looking

at the city, man.

It's no big deal, okay?

It doesn't matter.

I realize it's cool

to dodge and evade,

but you do that

with stupid people.

I don't like to be insulted.

And I'm telling you,

it does matter.

Everything you do

means something.

It's like your signature.

My signature?

Yeah, your signature.

You're doing it again.

Try to stay with me.

This is the thing that goes

at the bottom of your page, man.

This is the last chance you have

to affect the world around you.

I mean, if it's over anyway,
