The Descendants Page #5

I have every right to speak to her that way.

I'm angry at her.

- How can you be so forgiving?

- I'll be angry later.

Let's just think about the good parts.

Don't say that stuff in front of your sister.

Don't spoil her for Scottie.

Say something different.

Look, Mom, I know that we fought a lot.

I just... I always wanted to be like you.

I am like you. I'm exactly like you.

You are like her. Mostly in good ways.

Maybe some bad ways.

Remains to be seen.

Yeah.

Dad, this is Reina.

Reina, this is my sister and Sid.

- And that's my mom on the bed.

- Hi, everybody.

- Hello.

- Hi.

So this is your mother?

I guess it's true.

Should I shake her hand?

- If you want.

- No, thanks.

So, uh, Reina, I understand

that your grandmother's not feeling well?

Yeah, it's pretty bad.

She got her stomach operated on...

...and then got some sort

of stupid infection or something.

It's pretty gross.

Hmm. Well, Reina,

thank you for stopping by.

Scottie, let me give you some money,

and you two can get some ice cream.

Too many carbs.

Too many carbs?

Well, you could go down to the cafeteria

and get some lettuce.

That's okay. I'm done.

You weren't a liar after all.

- Don't you wanna hang out?

- No, I should go. See you at the club.

Hope your mom gets better.

Bye, everybody.

Scottie, what did she mean by

"You aren't a liar after all"?

- What did she think you were lying about?

- She didn't believe Mom was sleeping.

So you had to prove to that twat

that Mom's in a coma?

What the f*** is in your skull?

A bunch of stupid pills?

Shut up, you motherless whore.

Whoa, whoa.

- Easy there, half-pipe.

- Where'd you learn to talk like that?

- No, no, no.

- Hello?

No, this is the right number.

No, no, I'm his assistant, Sharon.

- How may I help you?

- Who is it?

- Shh, shh.

- Uh-huh.

Oh.

All right. All right, so one or the other?

Okay, I'll tell him. Mahalo.

That was Bonnie Tanaka, a realtor.

She says that Mr. Speer is going to

be on Kauai for the next week...

...but she'd be happy

to show you the house...

...or you can stop by the open house

on Sunday.

Hi, Mr. King.

- Hello, Buzz.

- Sorry about Mrs. King.

- Hope she gets better real soon.

- Thanks.

It really blows.

I know.

You've all asked questions about Elizabeth

, and I've given vague answers.

But I asked you all here today

to tell you...

...that her coma is permanent.

She's not gonna make it.

So this week, tomorrow, in fact...

...as per her wishes...

...we are going to unhook her

from life support.

You all know Elizabeth.

She has to do everything on her own.

I wanted to tell you all in person...

...because you are all our dear friends.

You're our best friends.

The girls and I so much appreciate

everything you have done for us...

...in the last few weeks.

Bringing food and calling.

- Can we go see her?

- Yes. Yes, for God's sakes, yes.

That's the whole point.

Go see her as soon as possible.

That's what I wanna tell you.

All of you. It should be now, not after.

Everyone who loves Elizabeth

deserves a chance to say goodbye.

You've lost your mind.

You mean him?

Tell him to come say goodbye?

I'll be gone a day or so.

I'll leave in the morning,

I'll be back tomorrow night.

If it takes another day, fine.

I'll give it two days.

If I don't find him, at least I tried.

Just drop it, Dad.

You've got way bigger fish to fry

than confronting f***ing Brian Speer.

You're recording this?

- I'm summarizing a deposition.

- How can you work at a time like this?

- How can you go to a movie?

- To get Scottie out of the house.

And you actually wanna tell him

to come back and see Mom?

I think...

I just think she'd want him to know.

Just call his office

and tell him it's an emergency.

No. On the phone, he can escape.

In person, he's got nowhere to go.

I wanna see his face.

I wanna go too.

- No, you're gonna stay here with Scottie.

- F*** that. Let's all get out of town.

Yo, Matt King.

- Hey, Ralph.

- Hey.

- Yeah, how's it? Great to see you.

- Good. You remember your cousin Ralph.

- Yeah. Hey. Good to see you.

- Oh, yeah, hi.

- What you guys doing here?

- Came over for a day or two.

- I just got back from Kaho'olawe.

- Yeah?

Business over there.

So you here to talk to the cousins?

Make sure everybody's happy

with your choice?

Pay your respects to Hugh?

No, just a little holoholo,

get the kids out of town.

But it is Holitzer, right?

We all know it's Holitzer.

Cousin Hugh wants him.

They go way back.

I got my misgivings, though, Matt.

There's an argument to be made

to max it out.

- We only do this once in a lifetime.

- I wanna work with you guys, I do.

Whatever the majority decides

after the poll, I'll go along with it.

Let's just get it over with, you know?

- All right.

- Okay.

How's Elizabeth doing?

She gonna be okay?

- The same.

- Well, she's a tough gal, Matt.

- She'll be okay, yeah?

- Yeah.

- Where are you guys going? Hanalei?

- Princeville.

Come on, I'll give you a ride.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Come on, kids.

- Where are we going?

Cousin Ralph's gonna give us a ride.

- Hey, Ralph.

- Yeah?

- Turn off over here. Let's go see the land.

- Take a last look, huh?

- You got time?

- I got nothing but time.

I think this is where

the golf course is gonna go.

They want the golf course

to rival Pebble Beach.

You know, bring in the big boys.

Scottie. Come on, sweetheart.

- Careful, Scottie. Careful.

- I got it.

Look.

Sometimes if you look out at the coast,

you can see whales.

Are you shitting me?

- You guys own all this land?

- Not personally. It belongs to a trust.

But, yeah, it's ours for a few more days.

Big resort there on that point.

Commercial area there.

Houses all through there.

Part of me agrees with the cousins

that don't wanna sell.

They're gonna make a stink

at the meeting.

Yeah, but we have to.

The trust dissolves in seven years.

If we don't sell,

it's just gonna be a train wreck.

- But it's a shame, yeah?

- Yeah.

On the other hand,

hey, it's just sitting there.

No one's using it.

This way the whole world

will be able to enjoy it.

Take a good look, girls.

This is part of your great-great-

great-grandmother's inheritance...

...going all the way back

to Kamehameha I.

Down there is where Mom and I

would camp.

We all did, all our lives.

Lots of memories.

Everything has its time.

What about me? I wanna camp.

I'm supposed to be meeting

a friend of mine.

I think he's staying here.

Uh, his name is Brian Speer. S-P-E-E-R.

I'm sorry, Mr. King.

I'm not shown anybody by that name.

Okay, thanks.

Hey, Scottie.

- What's in your suit?

- They're my beach b*obs.

Take them out of there right now.

Jesus, Alex.

Why would you let her do that?

You too, Sid.

- I don't know. Take them out, stupid.

- Yeah, Scottie. Big b*obs look kind of fatty.

Any luck?

Well, the hotels were a dead end,

but I took another shot with his office.

He's definitely renting a house
