and smilin' at people.
I'm gonna pop off.
I'm gonna lose my temper, and--
and say sh*t and do sh*t
that I'm gonna regret, whatever.
I just-- I just--
I am who I am, you know?
And that's okay.
You know what I'm sayin'?
Jack:
No. No, I'm afraid l don't.
Stone:
Well, I told youI couldn't explain it really.
~ Madylyn:
Are you okay?- Yeah. My back.
- I'm gonna go sleep in the other room.
- Oh.
Male radio host:
You can take great comfort in that,
but that can be a false comfort.
Sometimes in the twilight
of a civilization,
there can be a great
cultural flowering,
but in reality, there are cracks
in the foundation of that society
and that society is doomed.
If you really want to know,
I think it's some kind of
play-acting or something.
It's all bullshit?
No. No. Look, Stoney's just...
You know.
I mean, he's screwed up.
He's got weird ideas about things.
Sometimes really weird.
But, I mean,
he's always been that way.
Jack:
Talkin' to him,Like what?
Something-- really,
I don't know. Different.
( chuckles)
No.
Look, he-'s just trying
to impress you, you know,
trying to do whatever
it takes to get out.
Can you blame him?
- No, it's okay.
- What?
Hey, sit down.
Come on. Come on, sit down.
Sit down.
Look, he admires you a lot,
you know.
He told me
he learned a lot talking to you.
Can you be straight?
Straight as you.
Is this all just a-- I mean,
just-just-just
tell me what's going on.
I don't do anything
I don't want to do.
I like you.
I like you, Jack.
if I didn't want to.
Well, thanks.
God, you're beautiful, you know.
You're beautiful.
Thank you.
I'm not gonna
come over here anymore.
- You're not?
- No.
Okay.
Maybe I should just take
some antidepressants
or something, I don't know.
- Yes you will.
- What?
It's okay though.
I don't mind when they say,
"Oh no, no more,"
'cause then I just sit back and wait.
( chuckles)
But you'll call,
won't you, or drop by?
Like maybe late again
some night, won't you?
Oh God.
Look, I don't care if you deny it.
It's funny to me.
St-stop this now.
I think about you so much, Jack.
All day long I'm thinking about you.
Don't say that.
You're sexy, Jack,
and you know if you let Stone out,
He won't know.
He won't even care.
Look, I do what I do
because I'm on my own, okay?
And I got to make my own way,
so don't you want to help us?
- Don't you want to help me?
- Don't talk like that.
I can't.
it's not that simple.
You can't leave, can you?
It's sweet.
What the hell am I doing?
God damn it.
Oh, come on, Jack.
He's a good man at heart.
Yeah, I do.
No different than you and me.
Do you go to church?
Hell no.
There's no such thing as God.
( dialing )
They called again.
They need the Creeson report.
I just sent it!
You don't have to yell.
I'm on the intercom.
You got your RGC recommendation.
Vocational counseling,
psych therapy,
GED, NA, NA program.
if it's safe to let you back
into the world,
that you're not a danger
to yourself or others.
Rehabilitated, right?
Yeah.
You know, in my book it says
that chronic neck pain comes
from bein' hanged in another life.
Well, it's my back.
it's not my neck.
Well, I'm just makin' conversation.
Look, if you're
not interested in the details
of your hearing, we're done here.
- Done?
- We're done.
~ 1-low do you mean we're done?
- My report's already sent. We're done.
Basically they want to hear that you
take responsibility for your actions.
I don't know.
About what?
It's funny, you know, 'cause you're
always askin' me about that night--
how it made me feel.
You know, when my cousin
come out of the house
and got me
and we went back inside...
It was trippy, man,
because like two minutes before,
YOU know, my poppy,
he was-- he was alive.
There was color in his face.
There was light in his eyes.
And then I go inside there and...
And then I see them
Iyin' there all over everywhere.
There was this buzzing
in my ears, you know,
and I thought it was
just the sh*t that we was on,
but it kept growin'
and it started scarin'
the sh*t out of me.
Teach was bouncin' off the walls,
yellin' at me,
"We got to do something,
You gotta help me.
But all I could hear
in my head was this sound.
And then,
I don't know how I knew,
but I just knew that
there needed to be a fire.
I went to the garage.
I got the can of gasoline
and I got the match
and I lit it.
You ever seen a fire
take control?
It's somethin', man.
it's alive.
And [watched it
take them up
And the only thought
that came in my head
was "This is awesome."
Awesome?
Stone:
Yeah.It was
truly awesome.
Um, the thing is that
I know I'm supposed to take
responsibility for my action,
I know that I'm supposed
but I never did.
And I never knew why.
But now I think
I can understand
that it was just
part of what was
supposed to happen
in my life's journey,
you know?
That was your decision--
you did that.
No, I'm not sayin' I didn't.
I'm saying that we're all
God's co-workers,
and we don't even know it.
Your crime
has nothin' to do with God.
Why not?
God is everything.
You know,
look at earthquakes and floods,
and-and tornadoes,
and all the bad sh*t that happens--
why don't you think that
we're a part of all of that too?
What we do, you know,
the sh*t that we carry with us
from one life to the next,
maybe there's a plan
that includes all of us--
you and me and my grandparents,
and we just don't know it.
How can we know?
Enough of this sh*t.
You know-- you know--
you and Lucetta,
- she said that you were--
- Lucetta?
~ Your wife
- What, you call her Lucetta?
- She said--
- Don't.
- What?
- Don't listen to her.
What do you mean?
Don't listen to what
she's tellin' you, man.
Well, she believes in you.
Look, it's a game to her, man.
It's a game. She--
I told you in the beginning,
she's an alien.
She's a-- she's like a freak.
That's not a nice thing to say.
No, listen, I'm tellin' it
to you straight, okay,
she's just workin' on you.
She's workin' on you.
She's f***in' you over, man.
She's an animal.
You know, you're f***in' nuts,
you know that?
You're f***in' nuts.
You got a beautiful wife
Beautiful?
You think she's beautiful?
Okay, you're a con.
I've known that from the f***in' start.
I don't believe you for one
f***in' second. Never did, never did.
So you've both been
conning me? Okay, I know.
I've been around the block a few times.
I ought to know better.
~ I'm Sick and f***in' tired of it.
- What'd I say, man?
(Jack stammers)
You expect me to eat this new sh*t
you've been handing out?
Write a nice little note about
your goddamn f***ing epiphany?
