Why is there a hog in your motel room?

What are you doing here?

I'm looking for you.

Close the door.

Is he sick?

He'll be just fine.

What's the matter with you?

How could you just...

- Look...

- How could you just take off like that?

I'm busy, okay?

Look, so if you wanna help, help me.

If not, quit bothering me.

Well...

Steady. Yeah, right, that's right.

Right there.

Give me that.

Let me help you.

Howie, now, it's all right, boy.

It's all right.

No, no, no, no.

- Right there. Right there.

- I know. I know.

I've drained water from lungs before.

You better hurry up.

Good boy.

Good boy.

I'll take it. I'll take it from here.

I'll take it from here.

Okay.

Okay. Yeah.

Hey, get that vase, okay?

- Get that vase over there.

- Got it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Good boy. Good boy.

You're gonna be fine.

Howie, you're gonna be fine, boy.

You're gonna be fine. Good boy.

Hey.

Hey, boy.

Look at you.

Come on, like a champ.

Boy, it all finished.

You like that TV show?

I'll get this in you, yeah?

Yeah. We do this,

and you're gonna be like brand-new, baby.

Yeah. Here.

All right, come on, boy.

Come on. I know you had a rough night.

Come on. Come on.

There you go. Okay.

You're all right. Come on, boy.

You just relax.

There you go.

Good morning!

You know, most normal people

can rely on their parents for support.

- You know...

- There we go.

Things like money, or advice, or help.

Not me.

I have a parent who acts

more like a child than a parent.

A parent that I have to support.

I can take care of myself. Thanks.

How is that?

Ambrose, you are a penniless,

homeless, unemployed 75-year-old man.

You're only focusing on my strong points.

I'm glad you think this is funny.

That's not fair.

What is it? Are you okay?

What was that? What happened?

It was nothing.

You just threw up, that wasn't nothing.

- Yeah.

- Ambrose, are you all right?

Yeah, like I said,

I can take care of myself.

You don't have to worry about me.

Let me help you with that.

Come on.

I'm worried about you.

I'm okay, okay?

No, you're not okay.

I have to worry about you

because no one else will...

Well, I don't need anyone.

I didn't ask you to come here,

and I'm not asking you to stay.

So, I'm fine. You can go, okay?

- I can go?

- Yeah, please, get out!

Okay? Get the f*** out of here!

Bye.

Fine. Just, f*** it.

I can't stand the f***ing smell in here

anymore, anyway.

Now you can be alone

with your little f***ing pig.

Get the f*** out of my way, pig.

F***ing sh*t-ass truck!

Dad?

Dad?

Help!

Dad, no!

What are they trying to do to me?

They're trying to help you.

No, no!

Sir! Please! You're going

to hurt yourself.

Be gentle, please.

Be careful, please.

Okay, leave him alone. Leave him alone!

- Leave me alone. Let me get out of here!

- Leave him alone.

Alone. Alone.

- Please?

- Eunice, what are they trying to do to me?

I want to...

Can you help him?

Grab my shoes. Grab my shoes.

What am I doing here?

No, no, I'm all right! I'm all right!

I'm all right!

Leave me alone.

Can you help him, please?

- All right.

- Come on, Dad.

- I got you. I got you.

- Okay.

Let me get this.

Thank you, no, here, let me help you.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because there's nothing to be done.

Dad, that's not true.

The doctor said it was...

Doctors tell you what you wanna hear.

It's their job to give you false hope.

Dad, don't drink that.

- Why not?

- Because you're dying.

That's why I need a beer.

You all right?

See, Dad, you're supposed

to use this thing.

What is that? Oxygen machine?

Does it even work?

Yeah, it works. See, look.

I attached a car battery to it,

so we can take it back

to the States with us.

Nonsense.

You know, the doctor said that

if you don't start using it,

you're gonna start organ failure

much sooner.

See, look at your fingers. God.

Hey, Howie?

- Howie?

- Sh*t.

Damn it, Eunice! You should've

put the "do not disturb" sign.

Come on, come on, come on.

You've gotta sit down.

Come on. I'm bringing you to the bed.

Well, I'm sorry, okay?

'Cause I thought you were dead,

so your hog was the furthest thing

from my mind.

We're gonna breathe now, okay?

We're gonna breathe.

You're just gonna need a little help.

Put this in your nose,

and I want you to hold it.

That's it. All you gotta do is hold it.

Let me do the rest.

Don't talk, just breathe.

That's it. How's that?

A little less.

- Little less?

- Okay.

- Okay. All right, that's it. That's it.

- Okay. Okay.

Okay, that's enough. Let's go get Howard.

All right. Wait. We're gonna wait.

We can take two minutes.

Just breathe.

Okay. Okay.

Maybe he is in the kitchen.

Hey, Howie! Howie!

Go to the back.

Howie! No, no, no, let's go to reception.

- Howard!

- Let's go to reception.

I'll go to reception.

- You need to go to the room and rest.

- No, no, no! Come on!

Where's my hog?

I'm sorry?

My hog. The one I left in my room.

Your hog, pig?

Excuse me, is there a...

Yeah, the one that was in my room!

Where is it?

I'm sorry, you have

an animal in the hotel?

- It's a very big...

- Let's go. Come on.

No, you're not allowed

to have animals in the hotel.

- I have a pig.

- Huge...

You cannot have animals in the hotel.

- Thank you.

- It's not allowed.

She was watching me.

Okay. Right here. All right.

- Are you sure?

- Right here. Right here.

Jesus.

This is crazy.

I don't think anybody's here.

Hi, where is my hog?

Dad...

Howie? Where are you hiding him?

- Dad. Dad, you can't do this.

- Howie... Where are you hiding him?

- Dad, you can't do this.

- Okay, okay.

- Are you all right?

- I'm okay.

- What's going on here?

- I'm so sorry.

- We're gonna leave. We're gonna leave.

- I lost him.

- Let's go into town. You didn't lose him.

- He's not here. Oh, God.

- We're gonna find him.

- You need to leave right now.

Yes, we're leaving right now.

I'm very sorry.

Hey, Howard!

Howard! Howard!

He's fine. He's just...

He's just going crazy for the hog.

Howard!

Yes, thank you, Payo.

Hey, don't thank him!

I bet he's the one who stole him!

He's helping us.

He's the reason I found you.

Howard!

- Howard!

- Howard!

Howard!

Hey, hey, stop! Stop. Stop.

Dad.

Is that Howard?

It was for you.

What?

The money was for you.

I wanted to leave you something.

I lost him.

Come on, Dad.

It's time to go. Come on.

Sorry, Dad.

Yes, hello?

Yes?

Payo?

Really?

They found Howard.

You're kidding. Where?

Okay.

Okay.

- Fill this in and sign, please.

- Yes.

I'll need your information, please.

And your signature.

- My signature?

- Yes.

Okay.

Hey, hey, Howie.

There you are, boy.

I got a treat for you. Come here, Howard.

Hi, boy. Hi.

You didn't join any gangs

while you were in there, did you, champ?

Come here, boy.

Why are you in such a hurry to get back?

I know it's hard for you to understand,

but some people actually enjoy

spending time with their family.

And I really...

I'd really like you to come with me.
