This is our life

Oh my my

the morning lights

This is our waste

The wingies done and

We're having fun

here down on the farm

Killer's on the tailgate

Six pack on ice

This is our life

on a Friday night

Trey's doing kicks

with some pretty girls

with sprayed on tans

sitting in their long chairs

Out by the fire

Dillion's skinny dipping

all he's wearing is his hat

Falling from the back

- You okay?

- [Jonathan] Fine.

This is our life

on a Friday night

We live it up 'till

the morning light

This is our life

on Friday night

We're getting crazy

'till the morning light

This is our brace

Where we get along

We're having fun

here down on the farm

Howdy hey.

Partner.

Come on, be a man.

What do we have here?

Yes.

17 dollars.

- [Brandon] Alright.

Hey, hi.

- Enjoy your trip.

- Thank you, we will.

You too.

I think I should drive.

- No.

- Okay.

You are in charge.

- Right.

- [Brandon] Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa slow down, slow down.

- I'm fine.

- Jesus Christ.

No you're not, you're not

fine, let me drive, please.

- No.

- Slow down, slow down, stop.

Stop, stop, stop.

Let's just sit

here for a moment.

Jonathan.

I have to ask you something.

And you have to promise

you won't get mad, okay?

- I could never be mad at you.

- Who is Brandon?

Why am I wearing his clothes?

Were you in love with him?

- God, I love this song.

Let's dance.

- John, Jonathan,

what are you doing?

Our breaths were wide

just to sing it again

I sing it again

'cause it's true

This is what I wanna do

Make goes wide with you

Don't believe

you that it's true

This is who I wanna be

Jiffy's will not end free

Tell me if you

think this is love

Tell me if you

Tell me if you

Tell me if you

- Hi there.

- Hi.

I like when you're adventurous.

Why are we on this trip?

- Why are we on this trip?

To fix you.

- Yeah?

- God you're a mess.

You're such a mess.

But you're a lovable mess.

You're a mess always

cleaned up by me.

- What do you love about me?

- Everything, I love

everything about you

for everything I'm not.

You're passionate,

you're fearless, you're

too fearless.

- Where am I?

- You're right here.

I found you and we

can be happy now.

- [Brendan] Jonathan,

you're not happy.

- From the moment I met

you, I wanted to marry you.

I did.

I did.

- [Brandon] Well that's

what I love about you.

So romantic.

- I can be impatient

though right?

I was always working

to get us happy.

Waiting for that

happiness to start.

I always thought

there'd be more.

Of it, you know?

You know what I didn't

realize at the time?

- [Brandon] What?

- That back then, those moments,

those were the happiest

I was ever gonna be.

That was my happiness.

I missed it.

You know?

I wish there'd been a

way to know at the time

that that was the

time of my life.

- [Brandon] I'm so sorry.

- You keep pitying me.

I hate that.

- No.

I just, I don't think you should

hold on to all this stuff.

- If I let go of

it, what do I got?

What do I have?

I need to sleep now.

- Okay.

(engine turning over)

Good morning.

- Afternoon, actually.

- Sh*t.

Thank you.

How are you feeling?

- How are you feeling?

- Do you remember

anything from last night?

- Not much.

Lots of shots.

And headlights.

Did we dance?

- [Brandon] Yeah.

We did.

Anything else?

- No.

Look we should get a move on.

I wanna make some headway

today, we're behind.

- Okay.

Can I just sleep

for one more minute?

- There's no late checkout.

So no, I really wanna

get out of here.

- [Brandon] I feel like sh*t.

- You can feel like

sh*t on the road.

- [Brandon] One more hour.

- [Jonathan] Look,

I'm paying you.

- Are you kidding me?

- You heard me, I'm paying you,

by the day, we're a day

behind, I gotta pay you more.

Jesus, I feel like

you're hustling me.

- I'm hustling you?

You're gonna say that

to me after last night?

- [Jonathan] Last night

after you got me f***ed up?

- And danced.

And had a great time.

- Right, I did.

Look, I'm asking nicely,

just get dressed.

I'm gonna check us out.

And don't shower,

there's no time,

we're leaving in five minutes.

- [Brandon] F***ing outifts.

(men chattering)

- [Thug] Give me your wallet.

- [Jonathan] Back off.

- [Thug] Give me the wallet!

- [Jonathan] I said back off!

- [Thug] I'm gonna need you

to give it to me right now.

- [Jonathan] Are you

kidding me? It's my wallet.

- [Thug] Give it to me!

- [Jonathan] What the

hell's the matter with you?

- [Brandon] F***.

- Come on man.

- F*** off.

- Give me the wallet!

- Get off of me.

- Get the f*** back.

Are you okay? Jesus Christ.

You leave for one second

and this is what happened?

- He asked me for some

money, I gave him a.

I gave him a few

dollars, he saw my wallet

and he grabbed at it.

God.

- You okay?

Let's just get you

inside, come on.

- [Jonathan] God.

- Okay.

Let's see this here.

There you go.

Here, there.

You alright?

- It stings a little bit.

- I bet.

Just keep icing it, I've

nursed a few of those myself.

- You saved me, thank you.

- I'm gonna check us out.

You should wait here.

- No, no, just.

Just stay here with me.

For a minute, okay?

- [Brandon] Well I

think the manager might

know that guy and.

- Just please.

Just hold me for a minute.

Please?

I am so sorry for everything.

I know I'm impatient with

you and I bark at you and I.

Even after that argument.

You still saved me.

I love you so much.

Now tell me you love me.

- What?

- [Jonathan] I love you, say it.

- I love you.

Hey.

I'm gonna be right back, okay?

Motherf***er.

What the f*** is wrong?

- [Jonathan] Are you

going through my things?

- You like how I

nailed this one?

This?

You did this to yourself, why?

Why?

Let me guess, you paid to

have that guy hit you, right?

That's how you get anyone

to do anything you want?

You know I figured it out

a few days ago, the motels,

the rest stops, the

f***in' pictures.

Who is he?

- He's Brandon, he's you.

- Now stop that sh*t.

I don't wanna hear

that, who is he?

- [Jonathan] Why do you care?

You're in this for

the money right?

I give you money,

you give me comfort,

that's how this works.

- Comfort?

This isn't comfort,

this is sick.

- I don't owe you

an explanation.

You don't get to ask

questions, you're a hired f***.

- That's all I am to

you after this whole

god damn trip, a hired f***?

- Yes.

- You're gonna stand there

and you're gonna tell me

I don't mean anything

to you at all?

- Why? You're nobody.

You're some young dipshit

who doesn't know anything.
