a lady in my truck,

I'd hold on tight.

I wouldn't let her go.

No lady in my truck.

Mmm.

What's up?

Where's your friend?

He sorta got a letter

from his girlfriend.

She dumped him.

Oh, man.

Why?

She's actually...

she's actually my sister.

Your sister's his girlfriend?

Yeah.

Probably

ex-Girlfriend now.

What kind of friend are you?

He's in trouble and you're

sitting here drinking?

I... I mean, I thought

he was... Jesus Christ.

I thought I had troubles.

You're hopeless as

tits on a boar hog.

If you ever...

See that. Cheers.

You married?

You have a girlfriend? No.

Well, let me give you

A little advice:

Never sleep with the same woman

More than 3 times in a row

no matter how good it is.

Otherwise,

You start to develop feelings.

Feelings.

That's...

how you feel.

Uh-Huh. Oh, check it out.

Here he comes.

You know what?

I got to get out of here.

I have no interest in listening

to some grown man cry,

So, uh, I'm gonna

leave this with you,

And, uh... yeah.

This'll get you through

the toughest part.

I'll see you down the road.

Like the shoes.

Hallelujah!

You know that paint

is poisonous, right?

Is everything ok?

Yeah.

It's just... you were gone

when I woke up this morning.

I had to make a phone call.

Oh, you drove all

the way to town?

Is there something

you want to talk about?

What would I want

to talk about?

I just had a feeling you might

want to talk about something.

You gonna hit it in

with your hand?

You know... sometimes it's just

better to talk about it...

You know, could we just enjoy

the silence a little bit?

Yeah. Sure.

I just think sometimes it's just...

It's better to talk about stuff.

Then why don't you be

self-Sufficient for once, huh?

Do I have to keep you

entertained all the time?

You know, some people take this job

'cause they want a little peace.

Some people do this job because

they want to be left alone.

Just trying to be nice.

Is everything all right

with Madison?

Oh, man.

Why don't you ask her?

I don't know. I just...

thought maybe you got some

bad news or something.

What is wrong with you, huh?

You're just like her! "What's

the matter with you?

What's the matter with you? What's wrong?

What else? What else?"

It's not my fault

she dumped you.

What?

What did you say?

I don't know. I...

What did you say?

Have you been poking

around in my letters?

Did you open my manila envelope?

Did you read my mail?

What is wrong with you? What

is wrong with this family?

My god, this family!

This family!

You are a weak people!

You are a weak, feeble,

flimsy, tenuous people

Who don't know how to be

alone for 5 minutes,

Regardless of how much

they're loved!

Sorry.

How did you live your

life up to this point

Without knowing how to gut

a fish or build a tent

Or tie a knot or minding

your own business?

Then how did you live this

long and not kill yourself

For being such a boring loser who thinks

he's so smart and good at everything?

For your information,

you're not!

You suck, and that's

why she left you!

You know, you're always leaving town,

you're always struggling with yourself!

She wanted a serious relationship

and she saw right through you!

You blew it!

[CROW CAWING]

You're not getting paid today.

Let go!

Come on.

What are you doing?

Get off me, jerk!

Ow! Ah!

Ow!

WOMAN:
Hello?

ALVIN:
Hello?

Hey. Did you get

my letter?

Now, is it true?

I can't... Is it...

What you wrote. Is that true?

Where have you been, Alvin?

It's what it... You know,

it all comes down to that.

Where have you been?

I need someone that wants to

be with me, that is... I do!

But who's here.

I am!

You're always leaving.

This is my life, baby.

I do this for us, for us to save.

I know.

For us to save and to run away. I

know, but I need something else.

Look, I can't ask you

to change. I can't.

Yes, you can. You can

ask me to change.

You don't, but you do.

Clearly, you do

want me to change.

And I will.

You don't even ask.

You just assume that I won't.

You assume all these things.

You don't even ask.

You have to ask.

You just assume...

...we'll work it out.

You assume that I'm set in

my ways, I have my life,

And everything is like

it is, but it is not.

Everything I do is for us,

whatever makes you happy,

Whatever makes us happy.

I'm sorry, ok?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I never

heard you say that. I didn't know.

No, you know what?

It's not that.

It's 'cause you always

want to be in control.

That's what it is,

because you're afraid.

Deep down, you are afraid, you

don't want to be vulnerable.

Listen to me.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm sorry, Alvin.

This guy, is he who

you want to be with?

It's serious.

You don't want

to give us a chance?

I can't live with you.

I love you.

You're killing me.

I'm what?

You're killing me!

Stop!

[BUSY SIGNAL]

[WIND HOWLING]

[CONTINUOUS DIAL TONE]

[DIAL TONE FADES]

Lance, let's go.

Come on, we got work

to do. Let's go.

[JIGGLING DOOR HANDLE]

Hey, open the door.

No way, Alvin.

I'm on strike.

Open the door! We've got work to do!

Let's go!

I said I'm on strike because

you're being a crazy person.

Let's go!

Do you know the only reason

that you have this job

Is because I was being

nice to your sister?

That's it.

I was being nice and I was

giving you the opportunity

To get your act together

and straighten up.

You quit acting so immature,

learn a little discipline.

But I don't have to

be nice to you anymore

Because I am not loved

by your sister.

She doesn't love me, so I

don't have to love you.

I could call the boss right

now and have you fired.

Don't threaten me.

You think you're so tough!

I could beat you up.

You can't beat me up.

Oh, you want to bet?

[CHUCKLING]

Look at you,

Calling me immature.

You're just a worthless

sack of crap.

Oh, yeah? Well, at least I

don't go around thinking

I'm a great dancer when I

actually stink at dancing.

You've never even

seen me dance.

I've seen you do a lot of things

when you don't think I'm watching.

You're the worst

person in the world.

[PANTING]

[GRUNTING]

You can't catch me!

[PANTING]

You're the worst person

in the world!

[HOWLS]

Lance!

Help!

Alvin?

Help!

Alvin?

LANCE:
Alvin.

ALVIN:
Oh, my god.

Are you ok?

Oh, yeah, I'm all right.

I just...

what are you doing?

Oh, I nailed my hips.

What?

Yeah, I think I...

I think I messed up my hips.

Did you fall off this cliff?

Yeah.

Are you pulling my legs?

No.

Are there snakes down

there? I don't know.

Are there snakes down there?

I have no idea!

Maybe!

[SIGHS]

Careful, careful.

There's moss.

Careful.

[GRUNTS] Good job.

Why'd you fall off a cliff?

I didn't.

I jumped.

Will you help me?

ALVIN:
I don't know

what I was doing.

I feel like a fool.

I was running and then

I reached the cliff,

And all I know is I wanted to

either fly or kill myself.

Kill yourself by jumping

off a 12-Foot cliff?
