- Excuse me.

Lick your lips casually.

Just casually.

Look at my crotch and lick your lips.

Come on!

You can do that.

I'm not touching you. Do it.

Let's walk and talk.

Let's go blow his mind.

- You ready?

- Okay, should I leave this--

Do you like him a lot?

Huh?

Maybe. I don't know.

I just met him.

Okay, go wow him, baby.

You go wow him.

Knock him dead.

Do you like it?

Wait a second, baby.

You don't need that.

It's okay, it's okay.

Yeah.

Go ahead.

Be the little waitress

that you are, baby.

Why did you leave me?

- I was just in the next room.

- Why did you go?

I'm right here.

Hey. Hey, hey.

What's going on?

Tell her, man.

You didn't have an abortion, right?

It's not impor--

Is this acting?

What are you doing? Matty.

Just go with it, baby.

Just go with it.

Tell her.

Tell her, Matty.

- Where's the baby?

- You're hurting me.

Where's the baby?

Stop it! Help!

- I'm choking, Matty.

- Tell me.

Tell me!

Pretty emotional about that take, huh?

Did you feel that one, did ya?

Best f***in' work you've ever done.

It's too bad

you don't f***in' remember it.

Too bad you're

a f***in' coked-up drunk.

You don't f***in' remember

your best performance.

It's hard for me to f***in' forget it.

What kind of piece of sh*t are you?

What kind of piece of filth are you?

You big f***in' movie star.

Come down and sh*t

all over my parade, brother.

Sh*t on my little f***in' parade,

you big, privileged f***in' movie star.

Huh?

You killed that chick

that f***in' night...

and I watched you.

And I don't wanna f***in'

cop out on this...

but I didn't know she was f***in' dead

until I touched her f***in' face.

And you couldn't have known she was dead

'cause you were in a f***in' blackout.

I got rid of her.

I got rid of her.

When are you gonna

f***in' take responsibility?

Look in the mirror at a f***in' murderer

and grow up, motherf***er.

Grow up real f***in' quick,

'cause you ain't gonna live very long.

'Cause this is my life too...

you piece of sh*t.

F*** you and the f***in' horse

you rode in on.

You get out of my f***in' life.

You get out of my f***in' life.

Out of my f***in' mind.

Out of my f***in' memory.

Get outta here! Out!

Out! Out! Out! Out!

Get outta here!

F***in' live with it, motherf***er!

Live with it!

Grow up, you cocksucker!

Learn to live with it!

You piece of filth.

F*** you.

F*** you.

F*** you!

I answered your question.

As you look at your life, are you

satisfied with what and where you are?

What do you want to be different?

I wanna be free from my past.

What comes to your mind?

What are your options?

What are you doing?

I told you to stay in New York!

Get outta here!

I told you not to come here!

Stop it!

I don't love you.

I don't love you.

I don't love you.

Okay?

- Do you think you love me?

- I love you.

You don't even know me.

You don't know anything about me!

Listen to me.

Listen.

Listen to me!

I'm a murderer.

I'm a murderer.

You hear me?

I'm a murderer!

Do you hear me?

I killed somebody!

You think you love me?

I don't even love myself.

So how can you love me?

Do you understand?

I took a 1 7-year-old by the throat,

and I choked the life out of her.

Do you understand?

If you love me,

you'll let me go.

Let me go.

Get outta here! Go home!

Don't do that!

Don't!

Did you miss me?
