Mountain Men Page #6

Careful, careful, careful.

Okay, that's better.

You took a little dip

there, bud.

Gonna get you

warmed right up, okay?

No time.

Toph.

Yeah, buddy, yeah?

What is it?

Call Dad.

You just gotta

warm up, okay?

Just concentrate

on warming up.

He followed us.

I saw him.

Just hang in there.

Stay with me, buddy.

It's him.

Yeah? How come

he's not helping us?

Because he wants to see

if we can do it ourselves.

Dad's dead, Coop, okay?

He died.

He's the squatter.

That's who Bill saw.

No.

There's no squatter,

all right?

There's no squatter.

I never talked to Bill Foreman.

I made it up.

There's no squatter,

so just calm down, okay?

Put your head on here.

-You made it up?

-Yeah.

Why?

Why? I don't know.

I wanted to get you

up here, I guess.

We could talk like brothers,

you know?

F***ing a**hole!

Jesus Christ!

I'm gonna die

on this f***ing mountain

because you wanted to talk?

I was just trying

to be a good brother.

Why can't you

just leave me alone, man?

My whole life you've just been

following me around

like a lost dog.

Go!

Where do you want me to go?

You're hypothermic.

You should have left me

up on the ridge a long time ago

and gone for help.

But no.

You were just too f***ing

scared, weren't you?

Well, now you have to go alone.

I'm coming back for you.

Hey, I'm coming back for you.

My God.

My God.

My God.

Okay.

Sh*t.

F***.

Mom?

Coop?

No, no, Mom, it's Toph.

It's Toph.

We're-We're in trouble.

Where are you?

We're on the mountain.

We're stuck on the mountain.

We need you to send some help.

-I can't hear you.

-Coop is hurt.

Where are you?

Topher?

I don't...

I'm not totally sure.

-I think we're about 10 miles...

-Toph, I can't hear you.

Mom, we're 10 miles south

of the emergency shelter.

You're breaking up.

Mom, I said think

we're about 10 miles south

of the emergency shel...

F***! No!

Mom! Mom!

F***!

F***, f***, f***, f***, f***!

F***!

Sh*t.

F***.

F***.

Hello?

Is that you?

Everyone says you went nuts.

It's getting harder

to argue with them.

You always were a little...

unpredictable.

You must have, though,

at some point...

known something was wrong.

You could have

asked for some help.

That would've taken

some balls.

Maybe I would have known then,

you know?

Sh*t runs in the family.

Because...

It's...

I've been having

a hard time lately.

Real hard time.

Sure you don't want

to come out of there?

Just one last time?

No?

Okay, okay.

For the record...

maybe you felt no one cared

what happened to you.

But I did.

I did.

F***... this.

F***!

F***!

Piece... of... sh*t!

Go.

F***ing go,

you fat f***ing piece of sh*t!

Go. Go!

F***!

Hey.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

F***! Hey!

Hey!

Help!

Hey. Help!

Hey!

Cooper!

Cooper, where are you?

Here.

Coop!

Here.

Cooper, where are you?

F***. He was near here.

I know he's near here.

Coop!

Toph!

I heard him. I hear him.

Coop, where are you?

-Here!

-Coop!

Okay, my God.

My God.

Coop! My God.

Are you okay?

He's here! I found him!

I brought help.

I brought help. Are you okay?

Dad.

You're gonna be okay, bud.

You're gonna be okay.

Careful, careful, please.

Very careful.

Hey.

Hey, Coopy.

Mini Cooper,

how are you doing?

-Toph.

-Hi, man.

My leg's broken.

Yes, it is still very broken,

but apparently it's gonna

heal fine, mostly.

Dad's instructions

were rock solid, so...

Was he there?

Yeah.

You know, I mean,

some parts of him were there.

The animals had gotten to him

pretty badly, but yeah.

You found Dad.

How'd he die?

He died apparently

from a cramp.

A cramp?

Yeah, a cramp

from dehydration.

They think maybe he dehydrated

and then, you know, from there,

he couldn't walk anymore,

and he just eventually bit it

due to exposure.

A cramp killed Dad?

Yeah, a cramp killed our dad.

Shitty survivalist?

He wasn't a saver.

I told you, man.

Jack sh*t.

-Toph!

-F***ing Hershberger.

Get the f***

out of here, man!

Can you not see I'm having

a conversation with my brother?

Yeah, but I brought some cash.

Hey, Coop.

-Hersch.

-Don't f***ing talk to him!

-I'll f***ing tweak you!

-Get away from me, man!

F*** you,

you f***ing psycho!

I hate this town!

F***.

It was five grand, yeah?

For the bakery?

Yeah. Is he coming back?

All right.

Yeah, all right.

What?

Go f*** yourself.

-Go f*** myself?

-Go f*** yourself.

You think I saved your life

for money?

Jesus.

That's so f***ing

typical of you, man.

-I'm not saying that, Topher.

-That's not how it works.

That's not how the whole f***ing

lifesaving racket works.

You are now obligated

to save my life one day.

Toph, I want to give you money

because I want to, all right?

-You wanna give me five grand?

-Yes!

Because I have been

a shitty brother.

Just... do me a favor

and take the money.

Holy sh*t.

I mean yes, obviously,

thank you.

-I'll pay you back.

-Sure you will.

Slowly, in pot cookies,

but I'll pay you back.

I don't need any more

pot cookies. God knows that.

Probably not.

You want me to call Mom?

No, no, I got it.

I can walk, man.

Really?

Yeah, I can walk.

Barely.

What time is

your flight tomorrow?

I canceled it.

Yeah. I mean, have you seen

the size of the f***ing spiders

they got down in Australia?

And I figured,

hey, I'm single, unemployed,

I may as well just live

in Mom's basement for a while

and play some Nintendo,

you know?

Never really did

that whole thing.

Maybe I can knead some dough

with you guys.

-All right.

-If you'll take me.

Sure, okay.

Well, like how long

are you gonna stay?

I don't know.

Well, okay, then.

All right, big guy,

I'll see you around.

Yeah, little brother.

Hey, hey, Coop!

Yeah?

You think I could be a dad?

I think you'd be

a great dad.

What do you think?

I don't know, man.

I don't know.

We're so young, you know?

I mean, Leah's so young anyway.

I don't even know if she wants

that, you know, now in her life.

Why don't you ask her?

-Hey.

-Hey.

What's up?

Can I talk to you

about something?
