kills us.

No, she's not my wife!

Give me the keys.

Do you still even got a license?

No, they don't lose...

you don't lose your license

when you f***in' lose your legs.

Dumbass.

How you gonna reach the pedals?

F***in' get down there.

You gonna push 'em for me.

Is that even safe?

No.

Okay.

There you go, buddy.

Get down there.

Hey! Watch... Watch the leg.

Sorry. Sorry.

Gas. Gas.

Gas.

Gas, gas, gas.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

No!

Brake, brake, brake, brake!

Got it? You got it?

- Yeah.

F***in' got it.

I got it. Go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa!

Brake, brake, brake, brake!

Be my legs, Sull.

All right. Be my legs.

Who the f***'s

pressin' the pedals, Jeff?

Go back to sleep, you alcoholic!

Where is he? Oh, sh*t.

Sull, I said the pedals,

not my cock, buddy.

What are you

doing down there?

- Dude, D, I got my legs back, D!

- Whoo-hoo!

Brake pedal?

That was pretty awesome...

Let's go do donuts.

Jeff, let's do donuts.

- Brake pedal.

- Oh, sh*t!

You gotta stop! Stop!

Come on!

Don't be a p*ssy!

Don't let

the f***in' terrorists win!

Brake pedal, gas pedal.

Sull, gas, gas.

Whoa. Brake, brake, brake.

No, go over the hill!

Sull! Easy, easy,

easy on the gas.

Easy on the gas, bro.

Whoa, sh*t! Sh*t!

Police out. Whoa!

Pull the car over.

There you go, Sull.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Pull over now!

Brake, brake, brake,

Sully, brake, brake!

Brake pedal.

Whoa!

Put up your hands!

Let me see your hands!

Roll your window down!

Roll down your f***in' window!

All right, okay,

sorry, all right.

Sull, you gotta get up, Sull.

Anybody else in that car?

Let me see your hands, too, pal!

Hey, wait a minute.

You Jeff Bauman?

Yeah, yeah.

What?

- Yeah.

- You are?

Yeah.

Can I get a picture with you?

You, um, put the sauce in too early,

it falls right to the bottom

of the cake.

Look at that. So soft.

And if you put it in too late,

it sits right at the top edge.

Oh, I love that.

That's a fun fact.

You take your pill?

- Did you take your medication?

- No.

Jeff?

- No.

- Hello? What?

- No.

- No?

Could you take it, please?

Please, please, please?

Please? Pause it.

- Pause?

- No, keep going.

Hey, wasn't Patty supposed

to take you to rehab?

Pill packer.

Wanna go in front

of all those people

with the noise and the lights?

You'll be there.

You don't even have

to be there, Erin, you know?

Jeff is goin' out on the field

with the Carlos guy.

It's why he's eatin' lunch

with him next week.

My God.

He's gonna get to know him.

People think of them as a team.

No, you think of us

as a team, Ma.

No, the whole f***in' world

thinks of you as a team.

- It's not just me.

- It's just weird.

I don't wanna meet him,

I told you.

- Oh, Jesus, Jeff.

- Hey, guys.

God's sake,

I made the f***in' reservation.

I don't wanna meet Carlos.

I don't wanna relive

the worst day of my life.

We really have to be

on time for these

appointments. Okay?

We got stuck in traffic.

Yeah,

she forgot the sleeves.

She forgot the sleeves.

You okay?

Let's get about

a 30-second count there, okay?

Just add a little more

strengthening to it, okay?

So let's start off

with the right arm,

left leg for a count of...

one, two, three, four...

Remember, concentrate here

on the glutes.

Don't arch your back.

This is the first time

you're in this week,

and you have three appointments.

Okay?

You gotta get in here

as many times as you can

- for your appointments...

- I know.

I keep tellin' 'em, y'know?

...or it's not gonna work, okay?

You have to keep

your appointments,

and you have to come in

ready to work.

I mean, look at everybody

around here, Jeff.

They're recovering because

they put the time

and the energy into it.

And they make it a priority.

And you have to do that, too.

Did you find everything?

Yeah.

Do you have a bathroom?

We do.

It's right over in the corner.

Jeff?

Jeff?

Jeff.

Jeff.

Wake up.

Wake up.

You and Patty get hammered?

Wake up.

- Blanket?

- Mm-hmm.

- You want the board?

- Yeah.

Can I have my Gatorade?

I got it.

Yeah, he'll be helpin' the Red Sox.

It's his favorite team

since he was a little boy.

Jeff's throwin' out

the first pitch

isn't gonna help 'em win, Patty.

Bruins lost that game

that we went to.

Whoa!

Thought we said we weren't

gonna say that out loud.

You see,

the fact you say that, Erin,

shows how little

you know about baseball.

Are you...

are you even from here?

- Smart.

- Okay.

Huh? What?

- How they feel? Good?

- Yeah.

All set?

All right, when you're ready,

you're gonna scooch ahead

before you stand up.

Okay, let me just

straighten that leg there.

Mm-hmm.

- Yup.

- Okay.

Okay, scooch ahead.

Okay, got it. I'm gonna get it.

Up. Hips back, hips back.

Chest up.

- Chest up.

- Jeffie. You're up!

Chest up, okay? Chest up.

- My God!

- Chest up. Chest up.

Good, good. Okay? Good.

That's amazing. Wow.

You okay?

God, you are so tall.

All right? Okay.

It's a little sore there.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

Nah, it's like needles

in my legs.

- Okay.

- Yeah,

but you look awesome.

Good job, Jeff.

Oh, you're amazing, Jeffie.

Looks amazing.

It's the first time.

Keep goin'. Keep goin'.

- I can't, I can't.

- Good job.

- Let him sit.

- I gotta sit down.

Okay, yup. Okay.

Good job. Good job.

Wheels, before...

It's gonna make it easier for ya.

- Ya lock the wheels first.

- Yeah, I just... I did.

- E.

- And then ya pull up the seat.

Hey, E,

can you get my Gatorade?

I don't have it.

- Ya didn't lock...

- F***in'...

...the wheels, 'cause if you did,

it wouldn't be movin'.

- No, you still haven't done it!

- Would you back off?

- Oh...

- Patty!

What?

Jesus Christ,

I'm sick of this sh*t.

- I'm sick of both of you.

- What?

E, what the f***? Calm down.

I'm tired of you f***in' talkin'

to me like I'm an idiot.

A child is what you are.

Okay? I am not an idiot, Patty.

- Every time you open your...

- Ma, cut it out.

This is behavior

I've come to know and love.

Do you understand me?

Really, I can't...

I'm just callin' it like it is.

- I'm tired, Jeff, okay?

- Everybody's tired!

This didn't just happen to you.

What do you mean,

it didn't just happen to me?

It did just happen to me!

Could you just open your eyes

for one f***ing second,

and acknowledge

the huge circle...

Look at me! Look at me!

Jeff, the huge circle of people

that have f***ing

altered their lives

to orbit around you. Okay?

You have no f***ing idea

how much...

You act like this

is f***ing easy for him!

When do I act like this is easy?

Last night, he's f***ing wasted

- and covered in his own sh*t.

- Hey...

And I have to clean him up.

And nobody else is there

helping me.

Oh, it's my fault?

I have to carry him

to the bed.

Can you not f***ing say that

right now?

- What?

- Can you not talk

- about that right now?

- People are watching!

I don't give a f***.

I don't give a sh*t.
