- What do you have to be devastated about?

You didn't find out that someone

you trusted had betrayed you.

I know, but... I'm just saying...

No, you know what?

Nothing you say means

f***ing sh*t anyways.

Because you're a lying, cheating,

manipulating motherf***er!

You know what I think?

That's really abusive.

I don't think you understand how it causes

me pain to hurt people that I care about.

Care about?

Yes, care about.

I'd like to cause pain

to people I hate, but...

Care about?

What happened to love?

I thought you loved me.

I really did.

And Carla thought

you loved her.

I did. L... And I do.

I really...

I do.

Me or her?

Both ofyou. Both.

"Both" is very convenient.

"Both" is really convenient.

What about only?

You said only.

Look, I... I...

I f***ed up here.

Horrendously, okay?

I was...

- You were greedy, and you were selfish.

- I was, well, wrong.

- A coward.

- A greedy, selfish coward.

You know what?

Um, I'm gonna...

And don't - Please stop, like, pursuing

me and follow... 'Cause I can't... I can't...

'Cause I think that I understand

where you're coming from.

And I was there, and I have

been straight with you the whole...

This whole entire...

If this was the forum that would've

been appropriate foryou to, you know...

If you have to confront

me... And yet, at this...

I don't think that there's

anything for me now to...

I can't. I just- I can't.

Because ifthis was, uh...

No, this isn't, you know? And

both ofyou at the same time.

And the word... What you just

- That wasn't nice.

That wasn't right.

I was, uh...

No way.

No, 'cause I know

if I... if I...

I know what

I... I think it's abusive.

I don't think-

Yeah.

I know... I know what I...

It'sjust...

I gotta... I gotta...

I gotta do it, uh, for-for me.

For me, you know?

It's not like ifthere

was, uh, another...

'Cause this wasn't, uh...

It's not supposed

to have been...

This is affecting me.

It's mis-misery.

This, to me, is misery.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my...

Oh! Oh, my...

Oh!

Okay. Okay, fine. He's

about as dead as we are.

Listen, I'm trying to teach

a little something here.

You f***ing...

Oh, my God!

You f***ing a**hole!

How could you do that?

You know what that feels like, you

f***er? Pretending like you're dead!

That's sadistic! I had a point

to make. I had a valid point.

I'm not interested in

your f***ing stupid point!

I'm interested in whyyou are

such a sick, compulsive liar!

You are caught in a sewer

of lies and deception,

and your response

is to lie and deceive!

You're right.

This is kinda f***ed up.

But I am an actor,

and actors lie.

Itjust gets worse

and worse.

I'm not trying to excuse it.

I think I learned something.

It's not even a valid point.

A lot ofactors don't lie.

Just as a lot ofactors

who play killers...

do not kill people

when they are not acting.

Not good actors. Name one

good actor who doesn't lie.

This is beyond belief,

even foryou.

Okay. Denzel Washington.

He doesn't lie.

- How do you know that?

- Because I just do.

- He oozes honesty and integrity.

- See? Denzel Washington is a good actor,

and a good actor persuades you

ofone reality and lives out another.

Blake, are you gonna tell me that Denzel

Washington isn't the most coolest person around?

- I don't know. Do you know Denzel

Washington personally? - No. Do you?

Yeah. I've seen him around.

I've seen him at parties, auditions.

Really? You and Denzel Washington.

Did you guys audition together?

- Yeah.

- Like the two ofyou for a big director?

I mean, I don't think Denzel

f***ing Washington auditions, do you?

He's a huge, f***ing movie star,

unlike yourself.

I saw him at Gray's Papaya,

like, two weeks ago, okay?

I think I got a pretty fair

indication ofwhat he's like.

I'm not even talking about

Denzel Washington as an individual.

I'm talking generically.

I'm talking about the art ofacting.

The nature, the life,

the experience for me as an actor, okay?

Your point is it's okay foryou to lie and

lead a double life because you're an actor.

I'm saying that the two

are connected, okay?

If I was a Supreme Courtjustice,

you would expect a literal, on-the-nose,

literal-minded answer,

a straight-ahead answer like that.

But as an actor, I think that

I'm granted a little leeway.

So this makes it our fault. We should

knowyou're a liar and double-dealer-

Clarence Thompson.

Who the f***

is Clarence Thompson?

The Supreme Courtjustice

who lied about Anita Hill. Duh!

- Thomas.

- Thomas who?

Thomas. Clarence Thomas.

Clarence Thomas is...

And there's no proofthat he lied

about anything. Oh, really?

You think that Anita Hill made up

the whole coke can-pubic hair thing?

Are you intentionally missing my point?

That's the feeling I'm getting.

No, I am not. You said you're

not a Supreme Courtjustice.

And I said that Clarence Thompson

is exactly the same lying, cheating,

pathetic f***ing fool

as you are!

Okay, stop it, both ofyou. You

are letting him sidetrack us...

from finding out why he is such a liar,

which is the only reason I am still here.

That's a very,

very good point, Carla.

Why am I still here?

I'm f***in' outta here.

Why would you treat two people that

you claim to love with such contempt?

It wasn't contempt.

That's the last thing it was.

It was love.

It was love.

F*** you, Blake.

I mean fuckyou

up and down,

in and out,

front and rear.

F*** you till you bleed

and pus pours out ofyour a**hole.

You're a lying,

mugging,

misogynistic,

unemployable, short,

loft-inheriting,

piece-of-sh*t fraud.

And love? You have the audacity

to use the word "love"?

You don't even know

the meaning ofthe word "love".

Fuckyou.

I'm short now too, huh?

I'm, like, 5'10".

I'm short...

and a fraud.

Loft-inheriting.

I mean, what, did you want me

to sell it when he died?

It was supposed to go to me.

It's mine.

You enjoy it.

You lived...

What is wrong with you?

Why-Why are you doing this?

Is this what you want? Is this howyou

wanna live the rest ofyour life...

just damaging people around you,

damaging yourself? Just...

Is it?

Really? Is it?

'Cause if it is,

why don't you just really

f***ing blow your brains out?

Really. Right now.

That's not what you wanna do. You should

make a commitment to really shape your ass up.

Stop bullshitting everyone.

Stop deceiving everyone.

Stop doing this...

And yourselftoo.

You should promise me this

right now.

Like, the real promise.

The real deal now, or...

All right, I'm gonna...

See, I can't even f***ing believe you.

I can't believe sh*t that you say.

Your word is worth sh*t.

But I'm going to give you a chance,

and I think this is really-

This is your last,

your last chance...

to fuckingjust

get your sh*t together.

You've gotta

get it together.

Gotta get it together.

You've got

to get it together.

Got to get it together.

Got to get it...

# And you give

your hand to me #

# And then you say #
