Synopsis: Forty-six year old Diane Després - "Die" - has been widowed for three years. Considered white trash by many, Die does whatever she needs, including strutting her body in front of male employers who will look, to make an honest living. That bread-winning ability is affected when she makes the decision to remove her only offspring, fifteen year old Steve Després, from her previously imposed institutionalization, one step below juvenile detention. She institutionalized him shortly following her husband's death due to Steve's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and his violent outbursts. He was just kicked out of the latest in a long line of facilities for setting fire to the cafeteria, in turn injuring another boy.

Hey, it's our International Steve!

Steve's the shy type but,

and he's stealing the show!

Steve's the mingle-type.

Do what you want.

F*** him, I don't give a sh*t.

Listen to your Mom, come here,

Adults who chugged 27 beers?

No thanks.

We're doing this for you, son,

You're the one in trouble

with the law,

we're looking for solutions here!

In a Karaoke bar?

Wake up, Diane,

he just wants to bone you!

Hey you watch your mouth!

We're older than you!

Older my ass!

Stop it, Steve!

It's just the two of us,

I don't have any problems, alright?

You know what my big problem is? You.

No more job because of you.

No money! No life!

Meds, bail, correctional centres,

Will someone gimme a f***ing break?

No! Steve-O, ladies and gentlemen!

A break? What the f*** for!

Come on, wipe the retard's ass!

Just wipe that effin retard's ass!

Now...

What can I do for you?

Where were you?

When?

When d'ya think?

I was sleeping.

Maybe, one day...

you won't love me anymore.

It's true.

It happens.

Me...

I'll always be there for you.

You...

You're my priority.

Aisle 2, aisle 3...

Jesus Christ!

Is it too much

to put f***ing signs up!

Calm down, we'll find it.

He's on a high. Some bad phase.

That ain't in the budget right now.

- What?

- Don't touch anything!

All phases have an end,

he'll mellow out soon...

Here, take half my list

so we can get outta here.

I'm going that way.

Don't touch anything!

I don't know your morn

like you do, but...

I know what being a mom's like.

She doesn't mean any harm.

It's her fear talking.

Fear drives people.

I don't give a sh*t if she don't

want me anymore.

Doesn't. She does want you with her.

Come on, please.

You have to refocus.

We'll focus on grades 10 and 11,

and then...

when the time comes...

we'll apply to Juilliard.

One day we'll get a nice letter

in a nice envelope,

and your mom will be so proud.

You can do it.

Just say the f***ing words.

What?

The hell d'you do?

Come on...

We still love each other, right?

That's what we best at, buddy!

Let's go, c'mere!

Grab the feet, Kyla.

Are you coming home late?

Are you cooking

or should I order?

I'll be home for dinner

but order, yeah.

I won't be in the mood.

The box below contains 4 balls...

Numbered from 1 to 4.

Successively draw two balls

from the box without replacement.

Balls...

You don't return

the first ball in the box

before drawing the second one.

Balls...

Go on.

The result...

What's that sexy white car

doing in my driveway?

D'you like it?

Where to, miss?

It's got an ass-heater.

See the button?

A mother doesn't wake up one morning

not loving her son.

Do you get that?

Yeah, whatev...

The only thing that's gonna happen...

is I'll love you more and more.

And you'll be the one loving me

less and less, but...

Life works that way.

We deal with it.

It's the natural order of things,

you'll get that one day, bud.

You know what I'm saying?

D'you understand?

D'ya pack your bags like I asked?

D'you pack your sh*t or what?

Don't tickle me!

Don't forget the sandwiches!

Look what I found in the fridge!

Look!

How the f*** is that my problem?

Back door locked, eh?

It's gonna be an effin trip!

Do you want this with you, Die?

Yeah, not in the trunk.

We got everything?

Didn't forget anything?

It's green.

You Okay?

I gotta use the washroom.

Let's try this place.

Mom's pissing?

Am I squishing you?

You motherfucking b*tch from hell!

Take it easy! Take it easy!

Back off, a**hole!

- Don't touch me, don't talk to me!

- Chill out, bro!

- Easy, easy, easy...

- Relax, we're here to help.

Why you doing this to me,

It's for you own good, sweetie!

My own good, you f***ing traitor!

You dump me here like goddamn trash!

You got sick of me!

You're done with me!

Don't be violent, Steve.

There's no point.

Shut up!

You gonna taze my ass, b*tch!

You want 'em

to f***ing electrocute me!

I won't touch you if you come

in the hospital without resisting.

No! I ain't mad!

I ain't goin in a hospital!

Do I look f***ing crazy?

No one here's crazy, pal.

Stop it! No! I won't go! Mom!

I don't wanna go! I won't!

Don't leave me here!

Don't do this to me!

Mom!

And you, you f***ing wimp!

Withdrawal clause ends

F*** your clause!

- Come back in 24 hours, ma'am!

- Mom, he's hurting me!

I'm his mother, I decide!

Not anymore!

What are they doing to him?

I changed my mind!

Get out of the f***ing way!

Son of a b*tch!

There goes the forest...

Forest again...

And, now the beach, okay...

Hi, you've reached Diane's voice-mail.

Leave a message
