Yeah.

He didn't say sh*t,

So you come down here

to save me?

No, man.

Came down to see you.

See how my boy's doing.

Yeah, boy! Yeah, boy! Yeah!

...You know,

you drive like my wife, man.

Watch this.

I scared mine off.

- Yeah? I bet.

- Yeah.

One night, I woke up,

I had my hands around her neck.

I said I was gonna

kill her, dude.

I swear to god.

She didn't like that?

F*** no, she didn't

like that, dude.

They don't like that.

It's good to see you, dude.

Good to see you, too, man.

This is how I get

my tits off, dude.

Get 'em off, dude.

I f***ing love it, dude.

Hey, let me ask you...

what's with all this trash?

Oh, you still looking

for the bomb, huh?

Why didn't you look me up

sooner, dude?

I should have.

I dropped my kid last night.

My baby boy, man... I...

Was supposed to hold him.

Saskia gave him to me.

I fell asleep like a shitbag.

Fell right off.

So, you know, I dropped him,

started thinking about you.

He's gonna be all right,

you know, but...

I dropped you, and...

What, and I'm not all right?

Hmm?

Why don't you help me piss?

That fall took out

my left side.

Know that, dude?

Wasn't the sniper round

they took out of my head or...

That two inches

they cut out of my brain.

It was you f***ing dropping me.

Is that what you think, dude?

That the sh*t

you told yourself?

You didn't drop me

off a f***ing building, dude.

Well, you were alive,

and then you weren't.

I'm alive now, motherf***er.

Hey, you need another one,

buddy?

Hell yeah, I need another one.

F*** you think?

You don't think

i need another one?

I got you.

All right.

They're f***ed up, dude.

Hey, you see

where the shot came from?

Someone did.

Solo? Solo did.

Yeah, you couldn't get

the bastards?

No, I was

carrying you down, man.

You were.

F***, I should have

went after him.

Me and you were the tallest

ones on that rooftop, dude.

They go for the tall ones.

Yep.

You know, I think about that.

What if I was short?

I wonder if I'd still

be like this.

I think about that, dude.

Yeah, but you'd be short.

You'd have to live

the rest of your life

as a short guy, man.

Dude, I'm tall as f***, dude.

I can't stand up on my own,

but I'm tall as f***.

The girls, they love that.

Yeah?

You saved my life.

I dropped you.

I'm alive because of you.

I know this don't look

like much of a life,

but every morning I get up,

I'm grateful.

I'm grateful I'm alive.

Good.

I feel good.

Do you want to know f***ed?

The Humvee was burning.

And I got all the guys out.

We were huddled in a ditch.

But I forgot doster.

I forgot he was with us.

Only for a second,

but by the time I got back...

...it was too late.

How come you never

told me that?

'Cause you never asked.

None of this would have

happened if you were there.

You would have seen the bomb.

You don't forget.

Why aren't you answering that?

Look how perfect he is.

Can't name him after me.

He's too perfect.

You f***ed up, samo.

You think we don't know

There's a liquor store

on pinkerton.

Park behind the liquor store

and leave the keys.

Just got into some sh*t.

What kind of sh*t?

Uh, some guys.
