You can't help yourself.

It's disgusting.

Why are you so f***ing angry?

Why am I so f***ing angry?

That's my boss.

You sleep with him after 20 minutes.

Now you're calling him up.

What's the matter with you?

You know he's got a family, right?

- You know he's got a family?

- No.

You didn't see

the wedding ring on his finger?

No.

You're a liar.

I'm sorry.

You're always sorry.

That's all you ever f***ing say.

Well, at least I say I'm sorry.

Try doing something.

Actions count, not words.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I f***ed up.

I'm not perfect.

I make mistakes, but I'm trying.

Some people f*** up all the time.

Look, just forget it.

This isn't working out. Obviously.

You need to find somewhere else to live.

I don't have anywhere else to go.

This isn't about him.

I make you angry all the time

and I don't know why.

No. You trap me.

You force me into a corner

and you trap me.

"I've got nowhere else to go."

I mean, what sort of f***ing sh*t is that?

You're my brother.

- So what? I'm responsible for you?

- Yes.

- No, I'm not.

- Yes, you f***ing are.

No, I didn't give birth to you.

I didn't bring you into this world.

You're my brother, I'm your sister.

We're family.

- We're meant to look after each other.

- You're not looking after me.

- I'm looking after myself.

- I'm trying. I'm trying to help you.

How are you helping me, huh?

How are you helping me?

How are you helping me?

Huh? Look at me. How are you helping me?

You come in here

and you're a weight on me.

Do you understand me? You're a burden.

You're just f***ing dragging me down.

How are you helping me?

You can't even clean up after yourself.

Stop playing the victim.

I'm not playing the f***ing victim.

If I left, I would never hear from you again.

Don't you think that's sad?

Don't you think that's sad?

You're my brother.

Why is it always so dramatic with you?

Everything is always the end of the world.

It's not f***ing dramatic.

I'm trying to talk to you.

I don't wanna talk.

Try not talking.

Try just listening or thinking for a change.

Yeah, 'cause that's working great for you.

You're completely fine.

- I've got my own f***ing apartment.

- Oh, whoopee-f***ing sh*t.

You have your own apartment,

that's amazing.

You have a job and an apartment.

I should be in awe of you.

Well, at least I'm responsible for it.

At least I don't

depend on people all the time.

- You're a dependency. You're a parasite.

- You don't have anybody.

You don't have anybody. You have me

and your f***ing pervert boss.

You slept with that f***ing pervert boss.

What does that make you?

Don't talk to me about sex life, Brandon.

Not from you.

Whatever.

I'm going out.

Great. And then you'll come back

and we'll just have

the same f***ing conversation again.

No, you'll move out.

And then I'll never hear from you again?

Hey.

Hey.

You wanna get out of here?

I could take you somewhere.

What, are you with someone?

Does he go down on you?

I do.

That's what I like to do.

I like the way it feels.

I like the way it's just me and it.

I wanna taste you.

I wanna slip my tongue inside you,

just as you come.

You want me to make you come?

I can do that. Want me to do that?

What's up, babe?

- I was just getting some drinks.

- Yeah, huh?

Whoa.

Not tonight, buddy.

I said not tonight.

I was just telling

your pretty girlfriend here,

I'd like to f*** her

in that tight p*ssy of hers.

I mean, bone her real hard.

- Till she's clawing up my back.

- He's kidding.

This guy's funny.

After I f*** her hard up the ass,

I'll put my balls in her mouth

while I come in her face.

- You won't let me f*** you in the ass?

- Christ.

- You get to f*** her in the ass?

- You know.

Tell me more, man,

'cause I'm f***ing loving this.

- Smell it.

- Yo!

- Jesus, come on.

- You motherf***er.

Hey, Romeo.

Brandon, it's Sissy.

I really need to talk to you.

Please, will you pick up the f***ing phone?

Brandon, I need you.

We're not bad people.

We just come from a bad place.

Thanks for letting me stay.

Ladies and gentlemen,

at this time, due to a police investigation,

we have to discharge this train.

Please follow the conductor to

the rear of the train.

Watch your step between cars.

Watch your step.

Follow me, please. Follow me.

Watch your step. This way.

This way. Quickly.

This way.

Nothing to see. Move on.

Right this way, please.

This is Sissy.

Leave a message. Don't if you're an a**hole.

- This is Sissy. Leave a...

- Sh*t!

Shithead.

God!

Steve McQueen

Terence Steven McQueen (March 24, 1930 – November 7, 1980) was an American actor. He was called "The King of Cool", whose "anti-hero" persona developed at the height of the counterculture of the 1960s and made him a top box-office draw of the 1960s and 1970s. McQueen received an Academy Award nomination for his role in The Sand Pebbles. His other popular films include The Cincinnati Kid, The Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt, The Getaway, and Papillon, as well as the all-star ensemble films The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, and The Towering Inferno. In 1974, he became the highest-paid movie star in the world, although he did not act in films again for four years. McQueen was combative with directors and producers, but his popularity placed him in high demand and enabled him to command large salaries. more…
