Sh*t, creeper, what are you on?

( laughter )

Sh*t, he's busted!

He want weed on.

- Babe.

- Holy f***.

You know what I think he needs?

More cowbell.

I think he needs

more cowbell.

- Stranded.

- He's stranded!

Benny?

Stranded.

Guys, stop, man.

This is my brother, you guys.

Party killer's

your f***ing bro?

Stop drawing on his face, dude.

It's not cool.

Dude, he's tripping balls, man.

He's totally high!

Oh, f***!

( all yelling )

- He's family, come on.

- Just leave him alone, dude.

What're you doing here, man?

What's going on?

Benny, look at me.

What're you doing here?

My bride and I must

pass together

through the western gate.

Beyond that is a bridge

we must cross.

- There are many obstacles...

- Stop it.

waiting to trick us from

getting to the far away place.

The creeper dude,

he's whacked! He's whacked!

Did you drink it again?

Benny, look at me.

Did you drink it?

He's high on

Jimsonweed tea, guys.

Just leave him alone.

- He's f***ing whacked.

- It's a Chumash thing.

- Leave him alone.

- I'm going home.

Benny, just hang out

for a second. Benny.

- Great, guys.

- Okay, go get him.

Does he have

any more of that?

Benny, come on, wait.

Just hang out, okay?

You can't go off

like this right now.

Benny. Okay?

We both know it's time.

There's nothing left

for me here.

Benny, come on, man.

I mean--

( music blaring )

Let me get the sh*t

off your face.

No. I love you, Nathan.

I love you.

But all of this--

None of it's real.

Okay, Benny. I actually

agree with you there.

Just come back inside

for a second.

Look at me.

I promise I won't let anybody

do anything to you again.

Oh!

Ooh, yeah.

Ha, ha!

You're not gonna

drive, right?

Look at me.

You're not gonna drive, right?

I'm not gonna drive.

Ooh! Yeah.

Hey, Mojo.

That's the spot right there.

How you doing tonight?

Oh, um, I'm all right.

You've been really good.

I got a girlfriend.

- Are you sure about that?

- Mmm-hmm. It's serious.

No, you should get off me now.

Go on. Off you go.

Yeah, off you go.

Couple of months

we've been together.

She loves me.

( laughs )

Great.

How the f*** am I supposed

to get home from here?

Nathan's brother.

Hey, Benny. How 'bout giving

a girl a ride home, huh?

You don't mind, do you?

I'm just over the highway

right off Calle Real.

( voice echoes )

I love you.

You know who you look like?

The lead singer of Weezer.

Benny!

Benny! F***.

( groans )

The hell--?

F***.

( moaning, sobbing )

( exhales )

Oh, my God. Are you okay?

Please. Please.

I'm so cold.

I have to go to the bathroom.

How long have

you been here?

You don't remember?

I did this to you?

- Oh--

- Please let me go.

You-- you were so high.

It's not your fault, okay?

You didn't mean to do this.

Please, just--

My arms are sore.

Please.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

I promise I won't

tell anybody.

What-- why are you stopping?

Why are you stop-- I swear

to god, I won't tell a soul.

- Do you really?

- Yes.

I don't want any trouble.

I'm so sorry.

Ah-- This is all a big mistake.

The last thing I ever want

to do is hurt anybody, and--

It stays between you and me.

Okay? I won't tell anybody.

You're a good guy.

You are. I know that.

- Yeah.

- You didn't mean it. Just--

Pl-- please let me go.

Please.

You-- please.

Please. Please, let me go.

I won't tell anybody.

( voices fade )

Oh. I love you.

You're perfect.

You starting to

feel good, baby?

Uh-huh.

- Oh, yeah.

- You're such a sweet guy.

I meet so many rude

and gross guys on here

and I have to cut

them off but not you.

I love it when you're online.

I can be myself with you.

You know, it's odd, but, I kinda

like that I can't see you.

Makes me leave it all up

to my imagination.

Turn around.

I want to see your doggie.

You just want

to see my dolphin.

Yeah, that's right.

I think about getting

more work done on it.

What do you think?

( retching )

Dani! Aw, are you okay?

- ( sobbing )

- Here.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to be sorry.

Let's just get back

to bed, huh?

All right, let's go, people!

Rise and shine!

Yo, it's a beautiful day!

Get up!

Got one life to live, everybody!

Whoa-kay!

Hey! Does nobody knock

in this country?

Working the morning bone, huh?

That your webcam princess?

She's cute!

Mojo, I'm thinking.

We should find you a real girl.

Are you, um-- you seriously

still standing there, huh?

You wanna get

the f*** out maybe?

Are you crying?

F*** off, all right?

F*** off!

( heavy metal blaring )

( horns honking )

( horns continue honking )

( loud scream )

That feels nice.

Don't stop.

My mom used to do that

when I was little.

Before she and my dad

started telling me

I'm such a big

disappointment.

Guess I proved

them right, huh?

No.

So listen, uh, I just

wanted to tell you,

Dani rages hard.

Too fun, too fast.

I know you like her and all,

I'm just--

I just don't know if

that's the best fit.

You-- you think she

would've stopped.

You know, after the accident?

I mean--

People died.

Yeah.

MOOSE:
When are we going?

Let's go already.

What the f*** was up with your

creeper brother last night?

"My bride and I

must pass together

through the western gate."

Who would, like anybody,

get within 50 feet of that--

Okay, all right, guys.

Benny is a good guy.

He really is.

And he's really smart.

He used to be a

Wall Street trader.

Just snapped under

the pressure one day, and--

Snapped is right.

Walks into the office naked

with feathers and face paint,

and they fired him.

- ( laughter )

- Wow.

Then he invents this story about

a fianc and how she left him.

I asked him, I was like,

what fianc?

And he looked at me

like I was crazy.

He's just-- he's never

recovered from that.

I'm really afraid

he might kill himself.

Now I'm doomed.

My whole life is forfeited.

And I can't let you go now.

If I do, you'll certainly

go to the police.

Please.

You look Native

American Indian.

Do you-- are you by chance?

Here. That feel better?

My father closed this

rose ranch years ago.

We're the only ones here.

Except Delgado,

but he won't bother us.

He ran a hardware store.

I took him in after he lost

his wife and kid a year ago.

Now he's just a mess.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You are so beautiful.

You will find me to be a very

loving and caring husband.

( rattling )

( hears faint music )

Shhh, shhh!

The cops are out there!

Quit being a drama queen.

Come on, come on.

Just-- just sit still.

Just sit still.

Read some Charlie Brown.

Shh! Shh! F***!

Sh*t! F***!

No, they're not.

Calm down!

Don't tell me to calm down!

You don't hear 'em?

Come on, I f***ing hear them.

- They're out there.

- Stop listening to your brain!

It's Radio K-f***!

You dust buzzard!

You know where your own

best thinking gets you?

I f***ing hear them,

Poncho!

Stay out of your head.

Listen to me.

I ride shotgun,

I got your back.

Nothing good ever comes

from between your ears.

Stop smoking gak
