I can take care of myself

for three days while you're gone.

You'll miss the plane.

You said it yourself.

Come on. You said 20 minutes.

You're gonna make her late.

F***in' dick-head.

Wait a minute.

F***in' son of a b*tch.

Wait a minute.

Susan.

Bye.

This is f***in' cool.

Go for it, baby.

Go for it.

You know what'd really be cool?

If you guys had some fans.

If you had some fans,

you could fan me.

Oh, sh*t. Oh, man.

What the f*** are you doing here?

- You look great, man. You okay?

- Yeah, I feel great.

What are you backpedaling for?

I need to talk to you. I don't

want to talk in front of those--

I gotta see Annie.

No, you don't have to see Annie.

Annie's living in Mexico City, man.

She's got an old man. She's been

there a year. She's doing fine.

Just go back to New York. You don't want

to be looking for trouble down here.

Just go home.

I gotta see Annie.

I gotta make my peace.

Just let it go, man.

I gotta see her.

I gotta talk to her.

That chick was kickin' the sh*t

out of you, brother.

I gotta make my amends. I can't get on

with my life until I seal this thing up.

Oh, you f***in' AA people

and your f***in' amends.

-Just let the f***in' thing go.

- No, I'm not gonna let it go!

Don't give me that AA sh*t.

You don't know what I've been through.

I've been crying for two years.

My gut's coming out of my stomach.

We were together for five years,

and she just walked out of my life.

I'll make some calls.

I'm not promising you nothin'.

- Please, Mick.

- All right, all right.

I'll make some calls.

Take it easy down here.

You're looking great.

You look good straight, man.

That's f***in' really nice.

You want something?

I told you about Mickey, right?

The moment of awe.

The moment of awe.

Yeah, baby.

She comes up to me...

and she--

she knocks on the door...

and he's there.

You want to marry me

because I was still pregnant?

Listen to me.

Would you like to come in?

Would you like to have a drink...

or would you just like to

give me a blow job right now?

Did you want to marry me

because I was still pregnant?

Did you have an abortion?

Did you?

I don't want my baby

to have a father who is a junkie.

You understand that?

Who's the junkie?

Who you talking about?

- You told me--

- Did you have an abortion?

Yes.

You told me to have an abortion.

It's yours!

What did it feel like? Huh?

What did it feel like?

What did it feel like

to have an abortion?

Why would you f***in'cut my--

That's it.

That's it.

Go for it, Matty.

Oh,yeah.

Go for it.

That's pure, man.

That's pure.

Hello, Rene, it's Matty.

Hey, listen, I'm sorry

to be calling you so late...

but did Annie--

did Annie go home to see--

Did Annie go home?

Did she return to France?

Did she go home?

No, no, I don't.

You see, I don't know where she is.

That's why I'm calling you.

I was hoping maybe you could

tell me where she was.

No, no, it's Matt.

How you doing, baby?

Listen, I need to talk to Annie.

You haven't seen her, have you?

I've been calling all over the place,

and I thought you would know.

What?

Forget the ''I-got-a-lot-of-nerve''sh*t.

Where is she?

F*** you, man! You know who this is.

You shot the pictures for Premiere.

You were the last person to see her.

Now, where the f*** is she? Huh?

No, f*** you,

you f***ing cocksucker!

Tell me where she is, or I'm gonna come

over there and put my fist up your ass!

Where are you?

Hi, baby-- Ow.

What do you mean, ''Hi, baby''?

Where the hell are you?

Matty, where are you?

I come home, and there's nobody here,

not even a note.

Where are you?

I am in Miami.

In Miami? In Miami.

Have you been drinking?

Have you been drinking?

You've been drinking.

Oh, okay.

Don't lie to me.

Come on. Don't do this to me.

I'm not lying.

Oh, God, you're so f***ing drunk.

You're so f***ing drunk.

Why'd you do that? Why?

I'm pregnant.

What do you say to that?

I'm gonna come down. Okay?

No, I'm gonna come home tonight.

I'll be home.

The guy, the concierge...

he's making the reservations, so

there's no reason for you to come down.

Which plane are you taking?

I don't know.

The guy is making the reservations.

Do you promise?

I promise. I promise.

Just--

Just be cool.

Just stay there.

I miss you so much.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

I really do.

How are you?

Close the door.

How the f*** are you?

F***in' nut.

How you doin'?

When you gonna meet me later?

I gotta get goin'.

People are beeping me all night.

- What do you got?

- What do I always got?

- You all right?

- Yeah, man.

- This ain't talcum powder, is it?

- It's all rocks. Give me the money.

You don't trust me?

Hey, I saw that movie you were in.

You played a cop and you f***in'

killed all the coke addicts.

- I couldn't f***in' believe it.

- You want a drink?

No, I don't drink. I want you to show me

how you killed all those f***in' guys.

- I believe that's where she's at.

- How would she have died?

- That's one of my nightmares.

- What is the nightmare?

That I'm responsible.

In what way are you responsible

in the dream?

That I took my hands and...

choked her.

I'll see you later. Okay?

- You all right?

- Yeah. Thanks.

That's it.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That's it. Wow.

That's pure, man.

That's pure.

He's looking for me?

He's f***in' pathetic, man.

She's here.

I got her from Acapulco, man.

She's here.

You're alive.

I missed you so much.

Where you been, baby?

Ayear and a half and...

you never even called me.

Don't you care about me, baby?

You look like a piece of sh*t.

I believed so much

you stopped drinking.

I'm not drinking. I just--

Oh, I see.

I'm not drinking.

This was--

Tell her, Mickey.

Tell her.

I was straight, man.

I was straight, man!

The whole time I was gone,

I wasn't drinking!

I was missing you,

and you f***ing wouldn't come to me!

I'll lose my time in Acapulco.

Say something, man!

Say something!

Hey, man,

we're getting out of here.

I'm taking her to the airport.

Do whatever you want.

- I don't want to lose my time.

- She's back. Back to Acapulco.

I just lie down and I can look up

and see all the stars.

The roof opens?

Well,you know, like a sunroof.

But it doesn't close, so when it rains

it's kinda shitty. You know?

Where is it?

Sorry!

Are you okay?

Do I have goals?

Do you?

Right.

You want a kiss?

- Oh, you're beautiful.

- Thank you.

I'm sure everybody tells you that.

Ooh, yeah. Got that spark.

- You wanna smoke a joint?

- Sure.

Cool. Let's go.

Right out that way.

Where are we going?

How about candle wax?

You ever had candle wax dripped on you?

That's pretty f***in' harmless.

I never heard of anyone dying from that.

- How's that?

- You'll scare the sh*t out of him.

- F***in' terrific.

- Really?

It's f***in' great.

Annie. You look

just like Annie, baby.

I am Annie.

No, no, you're Annie 2.

There's an Annie 1 .

- Annie 1 ?

- Yeah.

Do your lips like that.

- No, not like that.
