The Automatic Hate Page #4

of the summer.

And we probably drank a little

bit more than we should've.

So in the morning,

the vomit...

was either red or white.

And then we'd know

whose it was.

So...

what color was it?

It was pink.

What's so funny?

Why did you tell that story?

I still think

it was you.

Did I hear them laughing

down there?

Yeah, look

what we've done.

Well, it's still early.

So, we should

get them all drunk.

How much have you had?

Just a little bit.

Babe, the table is set.

Family meeting.

Do not disturb.

What?

Sorry.

What I meant to say is,...

Go away.

Alexis, you may never

speak like that...

to my girlfriend.

-What did I...

-Do you understand?

Why are you

being so mean?

Because you're acting

like a little f***ing girl.

You treat me so

differently around her.

Look, I know

that what happened...

was really, really

f***ed up, okay?

No, it wasn't.

Yes!

Yes, it was.

And we'll deal with it,

okay?

I promise.

We will, later.

But the way

that you're acting now,

you're making me

regret all this.

Coming here and meeting

you... everything.

Look...

Jesus f***ing Christ,

Alexis!

What are you gonna do?

Tell on me?

It's all so fun

because they're right there.

We're done,

you understand me?

You'll never see me again

after tomorrow.

Let's eat.

It's good.

Alexis,

where did you get that?

You know where I got it.

May I see that, please?

Sweetie, take that off

and hand it to me now.

Now!

What else have ya got,

Josh?

I didn't think you'd want

any of her stuff.

At the end, you wanted

nothing to do with Rebecca.

Don't you dare

mention her name.

And you shouldn't

assume anything.

Let's see if I'm in the will,

then maybe we can negotiate.

That's the reason

why you're here.

Well, what if it is? What are

you gonna do, disown me again?

-I know it's your hobby.

-Give that to me.

-Give it to me!

-Ronnie, no.

-Alexis, come over here.

-Give it to me.

-Give that to me!

-Alexis, give it to me.

Let's bring it upstairs, then we can all

figure out what we want to do with it.

-Please...

-Shut up, Cassie!

This is not your family.

You need to f***ing leave!

Why? So you can have your

cousin all to yourself?

What was that?

I saw you two upstairs. There's

obviously something going on.

What? Th-That's not true!

Cassie, that's not true.

What is going on here,

Josh?

I don't know.

Don't look at me.

All of you.

You, you!

Stay away from my son!

There's something wrong with you, Josh.

You're sick.

And you passed it along

to your kids.

Don't you dare!

You f***ing pervert!

You took advantage of her,

Josh.

You took advantage of her.

You killed Rebecca and you know

goddamn well that you did!

Stop it!

No!

Stop! Stop it!

Get off, get off him!

Davis! Davis!

Davis! Davis!

Stop it!

Mind your business,

you jealous c*nt!

Why the f*** should I

be jealous of you?

Because Davis hasn't been able to keep

his eyes off me since he got here.

And I think he's happy

you had that abortion...

so that he doesn't

have to be stuck with you.

And in case you haven't realized,

your boyfriend and I...

Alexis.

You know, my dad hired people who

are coming to take care of that.

Couldn't sleep.

Thought I'd help us

get out of here faster.

You seen Cassie?

She took off, man.

Real early.

I asked if she'd be back.

She said "no."

How's your face?

We should see your dad

before we declare a winner.

So are you

a murderer, Josh?

If I am,

then your dad is too.

What did you do?

I need some help.

Come here.

You know, you and I are more

alike than you might think.

How's that?

Well, your dad's a man of

careful words and thoughts.

But when I saw you punch

Alexis, it clicked.

I don't follow.

If you'd thought about it,

you would've never done it.

But you did.

There are lots of things that

are out of our control, Davis.

Almost everything is,

actually.

So you stole

his girl?

This... Rebecca.

And he never

forgave you.

Rebecca was our sister.

Your dad found out about us

and he told the entire family.

They shunned us

and it ruined her life.

He shamed her

into killing herself.

Come on, Davis. From what we heard last

night, are you in any place to judge?

I know how you

feel about her.

Your dad will never

forgive you for it.

But I will.

Davis,

I was thinking.

Maybe I could take your car

back and you could ride with...

We don't have to ever

talk about this again.

We can talk about it.

That girl, your cousin,

she's just

like my brother.

How's that?

Dangerous.

Your behavior,

your feelings for her,

it's curiosity,

it's... it's...

From not having known her.

It's not...

Dad...

You know.

Please.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For everything.

I guess I thought that...

getting our families together

would've been a good thing.

And what do you think now?

I think they're a**holes.

-Hi, this is Cassie.

-Leave a message.

Hey, Cass, it's me.

I'm back in town,

staying at Todd's,

so you know where to find me

whenever you want to talk.

Okay. Bye.

Hey, chef, there's a girl out

back who's here to see you.

What?

I don't know. She says it's important.

She needs to talk to you.

Hi.

I-I drove past your

apartment a few times.

I saw you weren't there.

I'm not living there

at the moment.

Did you guys break up?

Do you wanna take a walk?

Can you say something,

please?

You're making me

really self-conscious.

Come on.

Let's get you home.

Come on.

Can I come visit you

sometime?

You just did.

Davis, I could tell her

what happened between us.

What we did.

I love you.

More than just family.

I...

I love you.

What do we do

about this?

Nothing.

Are you sure

you want me to do this?

And if I do,

that's it?

Game on?

You promise?

Even if you don't like

some of what you hear?

I told you...

It's not about

whether I like the answers.

It's that

I get to know them.

I get to know everything...

from now on.

Are you

pussying out?

No.

Okay.

We'll start easy.

Are you sexually attracted

to her?

One lie,

this game is done.

Are you sexually attracted

to your cousin?

Yes.

Have you thought about

what it would be like...

to sleep with her?

A lot?

Okay.

That one stung a bit.

Is it more

than physical attraction?

Maybe?

I guess so, yeah.

Do you think you'd make

a good couple?

No.

Given the chance, if there

were no consequences,

would you do anything

with her?

At one point...

I guess so, yeah.

But now, no.

No way.

-Are you sure you want to be with me?

-Yes.

-You have no doubts?

-No.

Okay. Last question.

Did you actually...

do anything at all

with her?

No.

No.

Nothing.

Okay.

Unpack your sh*t.
