The Sweet Life (2016)
Woman:
What are you doing? Nothing. No, you're invading my personal space. Personal space is, like, arm's length. No. Not always. How so? After 9:00 P.M., within radius of a major metropolitan downtown area, personal space is, like, at least 15 feet. Okay. I've never heard that before, but have a nice night. Mathematics and death. Single, white females 18-24 -- largest demographic of suicides in the continental U.S., edging out dentists and personal injury lawyers. Okay. I'm leaving the twilight zone. I'm beginning to see why people don't like you. What is that supposed to mean? You have any friends? Yeah, I have friends. Who? Acquaintances. You ever think about jumping? How can you not? Frank says that it's part of this greater obsession. And i-i tell him that it's healthy to have outside interests. Frank? My, um... My therapist. Allegretti? How do -- how do you know frank? That's my therapist. That's insane. I have abandonment issues. That's what frank says. He told me i was a malcontent. How's that supposed to help me? Did he recommend dance therapy to you? No. You? Yeah. How's that working out? It's not. I don't experience pleasure. You have sex? Yeah. But I gave up orgasms. I had a bad experience. Predicting when someone's gonna die for a living? You know, that's all life insurance is -- the law of averages. Well, that sounds really depressing to me. What's disturbing is, what kind of person actually goes into this -- studying actuary tables? Well, isn't that what you do? Well, yeah, that's -- that's what I'm saying. You one of those sweet life guys? Yeah. That's depressing. Yeah. Do you think everybody thinks about jumping? Just a quick end to an empty, mind-numbing existence? Hey, boss. There's not a mark on it, and I always check. Come on. Whoo! Don't be so nervous. I'm not nervous. You're a little nervous. No, I'm fine. No, you're not. You should probably just go the speed limit here. How long -- how long do you think it would take to get to the golden gate bridge? Why the golden gate bridge? I think you know. You have anything to live for? I have, uh... If you have to cram for it, you're in trouble. No, no. I have a... Yeah. You in? Kenny pantaleo. Lolita nowicki. Frank is gonna shit. Yeah. "Lolita." Is that your real name? Why wouldn't it be? $42? That's it? And I have an atm card with a couple hundred dollars in it. So...Yeah. I mean, I've been downsizing. You know? Just, uh, just getting rid of stuff. Here. Just...Follow my lead. You have an atm in here? -He has a gun. -What? -What? -You've got a gun. Nobody has to get hurt. All right? That's not your money in there. Can I talk to you for a second? Hi. Sorry. Sir, you do have a gun, right? Yeah, sure. I have a gun. Can I see it? It-- it's just that there's a strict policy on robberies. Unless they see a gun on that camera, they don't believe that it's a robbery. Like, I'm responsible for any money missing. They don't take your word? No. I-I'm only here, like, a week. Besides, i-i can't get into the register unless you buy something first. Okay, well why don't you just pretend that we're buying something, okay? Don't you have to open the register to put the money in? Right, 'cause if you were buying something, then I would have had to -- right. Right. Okay. How about this, then? You guys go and pretend to buy something, you know, for the cameras. And then, um, when I get the register open, you guys pull out the gun, and then I give you the money. Okay, look. We're lying. We're not. We're lying. We're not. No one has a gun. We might have a gun. Nobody does. That's too bad. Do you guys have, like, a weapon or -- no. This was just a spur of the moment, funny thing. Uh, well, you know what? You guys, you're good people. Let me -- you can't go empty-handed. Um, uh, here. Have some gum. On me. That was humiliating. Look. Next time we're gonna commit a felony, let's touch base beforehand. It was a convenience store. It's armed robbery. That's a felony. Ever done anything in your life balls out? Yeah. There's a difference between being stupid and being balls-out. Okay. Why is the sound off? I hate sound. Okay. Oh, I'm exhausted. There's only this bed. How is this gonna work? We'll take turns. Take turns sleeping? No. Well, I haven't thought it through. Okay. Well... ...why don't we share the bed? I'll stay on my side. Yeah, right. No. You don't have to worry about me. W-what is that supposed to mean? I can't, um... Sex really isn't in my repertoire these days, so... If you get my drift. It's not about you. Is that meant to be patronizing? I mean, do you really think that i need that kind of validation? Okay. Hold that thought, okay? We'll talk about it in the morning. I hate sharing rooms. You okay? Yeah. Why wouldn't I be? I don't know. Why did you ask? I withdraw the question. We're not in court. Writer, huh? What do you write? The truth. Anything more specific? Poetry. Published? I take that as a no. Yeah. Like anyone's gonna stop and pick up these guys. Pull over. What? Pull over! I don't know about this, Marlon. Hop in. Yeah, we're good. Oh, yeah? You guys are hitchhiking, right? Eh. Change of plans. Is there a problem? No. No problem. 'Cause we're just trying to do you guys a solid. Yeah, we're trying to do you guys a solid, here. Oh, we appreciate it. Yeah. We'll take a pass. You're gonna pass? Yeah. Okay. Have a good day. -Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. -You, too. Mnh-mnh. What? Balls out. I got it covered. Well, in my experience, when someone offers you a ride, you got to get in the car. Yeah, well... That's your experience, chief. I, uh -- I got a gun. Get in the car. So, where you guys headed? Where are we headed? I thought this was a kidnapping. Giving a ride to degenerates is our way of embracing life. So...There is no gun. You don't want to fuck with us, Otis, okay? We're on our way to the golden gate bridge to jump off. Just so you know who you're dealing with. We're crazy. I get that. Why don't you take a lip off this here shine? Take the edge off. Hey, people don't actually pick you guys up, do they? You know, looking like that? When you're gay in these parts, honey, redneck's a pretty good cover. We're married. How's that going? Hmm? Have to work at it. Sure. Hey, you see that barn out there? That's where granny was picked up by the aliens. '62. Said they were quite thoughtful. Not at all what you'd expect. Ohh. We're taking her home. She just passed. Oh. Sorry. Sorry to hear that. Sorry, you guys. So, you guys -- uh, you guys believe in ufos? More things in heaven and earth, Horatio. You know, there -- there have been ufo sightings verified by NASA. I mean, more than one astronaut has -- has made visual contact. She's got a lot of fun facts. I do. Hey, do you guys want to get something to eat or, uh...? I could choke on a damn corn dog. I'll tell you that much. -I bet you could. - I bet you could. -I bet you could. I bet you could. Ha, ha, ha. Hey, now. Hey. Circulation in the feet is so important. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Hey, guys. I got chips. Enjoy 'em! We'll be seeing you! Yoo-hoo! Hey, wait. Hey. Hey. Guys. Hey! Hey! They're stealing the car! Guys! Guys! They stole the car. I gave it to them. Mercedes? I gave it to 'em. You just give -- you just gave them the Mercedes. They'll be together 10 years in march, and Marlon had to visit his grandmother every day in the home. He had to hitchhike back and forth. All right. Hey. Hold on one second, here. You gave them the car? And you know what? They felt bad for us. You just gave them the Mercedes? I told them that we were short on cash, and they gave us -- they gave us some money. I got everyone chips! I got everyone chips. You gave them the Mercedes for $87? No, I gave them the car because I'm a nice fucking person, which is something that you know nothing about at all. At all. What kind of passive-aggressive bullshit is that, giving away the car in the middle of nowhere? I left my whole life to hang out with an idiotic girl who goes to dance therapy. I mean, dance therapy? You're out of your mind. I mean, what kind of game are you playing with me? Oh, you think this is a game? Yeah. Really? No game. Lolita? You okay? You're insane. You know that? You're -- you are insane. And you're a loser who plays it safe. Where you going? Hey. You don't know anything about me. Oh, yeah. You're gonna limp around for the rest of your life. Weak. Pathetic. But no mistake why I'm here. I'm here because i can face the truth. In the morning, I'm gone. God! Get in the car. What's this? The less you know, the better. I don't trust you. Yeah, i don't trust you. Are we doing this? I need to know. Get in the car. In 2 miles, take exit 3, Wyoming state route 287, to medicine bow. Medicine bow? Did you program this? I don't know how to work the thing. Destination -- western peak medical center. 247 west center street, medicine bow, Wyoming. Pull over. What? Pull over! Shit! Where'd you get this car? I just got it. What's your problem? Come here. What? Oh! It's a kidney. Ohh. It's a human kidney. What the hell is a kidney doing in the car? You stole a car with a kidney? - Ohh. - I'm gonna yak. My god. Oh, my god. That's disgusting. How do you know it's a kidney? Ha! It's the hospital. Don't answer it. Don't answer it. Don't answer the phone. You're gonna get us screwed. Answer the phone. I'm gonna answer the phone! Okay. Okay. Give me the phone. No. Give me the phone. Hello? Yeah. Okay. Uh-huh. All right. Um...They expected us an hour ago. No, no, no, no. They -- they didn't expect us. It's for a teenaged boy. He's failing. They need it now. Fuck. In 1.2 miles, turn right onto highway 641 east. Shit. I need you two to step out of the car. I know we were going a real fast, but -- put your hands on the steering wheel. Both hands. Left foot out first. Touch your palms. Interlace your fingers. Whoa. Do you know who we are? Look -- look at what he's wearing. You see his uniform? Medical transport. Okay? Sweet life medical transport. Do you know what we have in the back seat? A kidney. A human kidney. See for yourself. All right, check it out. Quick. There's a boy being prepped for surgery right now at western peak medical center. As we speak, there are morphological changes indicative of cell death caused by progressive enzymatic degradation that will make this kidney inviable unless you let us go right now. All right. Call it in. Where'd you learn all that stuff? I, uh -- I dropped out of medical school, but i-i made it through that part, I guess. Really? What part? The kidney part. Put on your seat belt. Whoo! Man: They're here. There they are. Kidney? -Yeah. Hi. We're prepped. Some talk of a mix-up. No. No. No mix-up at all. Excuse me! Paperwork? Right. You know the drill. Yeah. I, uh... Excuse me. Excuse me. Did you bring the kidney? Yes. Yeah. Thank you. -Come here, baby. -Thank you very much. Come here, baby. -Thank you. -Oh. -You, too. -Oh. Oh, well, let's pray. Let's pray. Okay. Dear Jesus, bless these two for what they did, giving Robert a second chance. In the name of the father, we have been asking for your prayers all these years. You have answered our prayers. Let them be blessed in all their endeavors. Lolita: Where do you fall on god? Kenny: I don't feel a need to figure it out, really. You? I... Barely believe in myself. Long day, huh? Yeah. Good day. When was the last time that you felt anything? Uh, you know, quite a while ago. What happened? I just, uh, ran out of gas. There's got to be more. Not everyone has a story. I ran out of gas. Coming to bed? You want me to come to bed with you? You know I have a problem, right? You were very forthcoming. Okay, so i-i don't think this is a really... Great idea. I want to go to bed with you. You know, it's hard to believe, but... Look. I-i... I find that very flattering because you're very sexy. Um... What? You're awkward. No, I'm not awkward. I'm just -- yes, you are. Look, I just told you -- no, it's -- it's appealing. I -- it's -- it's kind of appealing. What are you doing? Just come over here. Just relax. Okay. You know what? Let's just talk about this for a second. No. No. Let's not talk. Okay? Hey, hey, hey. You're fine. We'll go slow. You'll be fine. I'll just start right here, okay? It's stuck. No, I got it. Hey, you know what? Could you just hold the zipper part up there? I've just got to match up the teeth right there. Keep that -- okay. You know what? I'm just -- I'll get it from below. Here. Just -- why don't you take it off from -- try to go from -- pull up. Okay. All right. Just pull it -- pull it up. Yeah. Are you fucking kidding me? Let me get -- all right. Wait. Let me -- let me get that. Okay. Nice and easy. No, I think -- hold on. Hold on. Got it! You all right? Yep. Got it. You all right? Yep. No, I got it. I'm good. All right. It's good. Um... All right. Let's call a time-out here... No. ...and just talk about it for a second. I thought you said you hate sex. Why are you doing this? I just... I just think that... It might be all right. I'm gonna get your shoes. Um, can you take off your pants? Can you turn off the lights? Please. Okay. Okay? Yeah. Here. Just see how this feels. That feel okay? Okay. It's okay. Really. It's okay. Are you the people that brought that kidney? Yeah. Uh, yeah. Well, he's doin' real good. Great. Yeah, I work with Earl, his father. Oh. Love Earl. He's on the force with me. The force. You stole that car, didn't you? Yeah. Y'all are gonna have to leave. Right away. There any place you'd like for me to drop you? What's going on with you and frank? Where did that come from? Well, he just keeps texting you. You looking at my phone? Are you the fucking FBI? You having an affair? Excuse me. Sorry. Hi. Is it okay if I sit here? Yeah. Excuse me. Can I -- is it all right if I sit there for a second? I'm asking you a question. Oh, my gosh. Are you having an affair with him? My life is none of your business, okay? You got to be kidding me. You're sleeping with your therapist? Shh! Is that what this is about? Shut up! You're fucking your therapist, and now you want to kill yourself because he's canceling all your appointments. You don't know anything about me and frank. Okay. If you think your therapist is gonna fall in love with you, you're delusional. Oh! Oh, my gosh. You're jealous. Yeah, right. You're so jealous! Please turn around. Please turn around. Hey! Let me be clear. You and I, this, it's not happening, okay? We are not a love story. And you are the last person to be lecturing me on sex. He's got a problem with his penis. I just met her. I have no idea what she's talking about. Hey. Hey. Um... You know, I've been -- I've been thinking that I don't -- i don't really think that this is working out. I think that maybe we should go our separate ways. Okay. Cool. Okay. See ya. See ya. Operator: City and state, please. Manti, Utah. I need an address, please. Hey! Where's the girl? Lolita! Lolita! Where is she? Lolita! Who the fuck are you? I'm a friend of hers. We're just having some fun, Batman. Beat it. I got no place to go. Fuck! -Shit! -Fuck! I got a gun. What the fuck? Come on. Let's get out of here. Come on. -You scared the hell out of me. What are you doing with a gun? -I told you I had a gun! Fucking... Come on. Let's get out of here. What are you doing with a gun? Stop pointing it around. Put it down! Put it -- okay, okay. Hey, you fucking bitch! Why did you come with us if you didn't want to get fucked, huh? I'm sorry about that. Kenny. Kenny. I'm sorry. I didn't -- I didn't quite hear what you just said. I said she didn't want to get fucked. You want to get fucked? Whoa, man. You want to fuck my friend? Kenny. Kenny, come on. I want you to say you're sorry. Yeah. Right. We're sorry. Shut the fuck up. I'm talking to him. Okay. "I'm sorry." Man: Say it. I'm sorry. Put more life into it. Like, a little, like... I'm sorry. Tell her you're sorry. I'm sorry, man. Kenny. Kenny, come on. It's okay. No, don't do it to me. Look her in the eye. I'm sorry. Okay. Get in the car. Get in the fucking car! You are fucked. Go! Hey. Hey! Thank you. You okay? Yeah. You? Yep. You were right. About frank. Are you in love with him? Frank says that I pursue men who are unavailable. So... Here's your share. I'll get you -- I owe you more. Why don't we just, uh, you know, keep it together? If that's okay. Okay. Okay. Kenny: Here's great. Okay. All right. We're here. -Whoa. -Let's go. -No! -Thanks. Hey. Why did you tell them to let us off here? There's somebody i need to look up. Who? She left me at the altar. I haven't seen her since. Looks like she did all right. Ava. The kids are at grandma's. You -- you have kids? Yeah. Two. How old are they? 1 and 3. You know, my husband grew up in a one bedroom with two brothers, so we overcompensated. That's a cool backyard. Do you mind if I...? Please. This place is great. Really feels like a real home. You look nice. Ava: Never thought I'd see you again. Getting all those letters back. Yeah, I didn't feel like corresponding. I didn't really know what to say, so... I loved you. I did. Just so you know. Yeah. That makes sense. Sorry. I'm -- I'm over it, but I -- I stood there waiting for you, and I w-- i wasn't embarrassed. I just kept thinking the whole time, "why the fuck would she do that to me? Why would... Didn't she realize what we have? Doesn't she realize that --" you know. It was pretty special, i thought. Right? I was getting drunk with Rita and she says to me, "do you have any plans?" So I say "who needs plans? Why do we need plans?" And she says, "in 10 years, Kenny is still gonna be looking for himself. Is that what you want?" Rita. Rita was never really a good friend of yours. But I thought she was right about us. I guess so. Lolita: She was really nice. And beautiful. I-i totally see what you see in her. Get in the car. He's got a gun. -Ah, you! Aah! -Come on! - Hey! -Hey! -Hop in! Lolita: Aah! Brandon: I got to tell you, that is the sweetest ride I've ever ridden in or driven. Thanks for selling it to us. Well, we should tell you something about that car. No. -Yeah. -We shouldn't. -Yeah, we should. -No. It's stolen. It's a stolen car? Yeah. And, here, we've been feeling terrible about taking it all this time. Yeah. You've got a couple priors. Ah, we'll take a bus back. Hey. Your heart was in the right place. Yeah. We get to take grandma to the ufo museum, just like we promised. In style. Okay, grams. We did like we said we would. If they treated you good before, I know they're gonna treat you good now. Brandon: She was a tough old bird. This has to mean something, don't you think? What does? Us meeting up like this. Can't just be coincidence. You know what coincidence is? A remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection. Doesn't mean there isn't some sort of greater purpose. Something we can't always see. Doesn't mean there is. So, you still going to San Francisco? Yeah. Let's get a hotel. Kenny: We have 29 dollars. Trust me. Welcome. How can I help you? Uh, give us your best room. The best. Let's see what we got. The best. Looks like we have our presidential suite available. Uh, can I see your credit card? What? Credit card. A credit card? Mm-hmm. Good. You're gonna love it. It's beautiful. You had that the whole time? You don't grab life by the balls with an American express platinum card. My mother left the first time when I was 8 to find herself. She went on the road, followed aerosmith. Aerosmith? Yeah. She lives here. It's...Stupid. Maybe. Hi. How can I help you? Um, we're here to see Katharine. Katharine... Nowicki. Oh, okay. And you are? Her daughter. Oh, we didn't, uh, know she had a daughter. Yeah. Uh, your name? Uh, Alma. Sorry. Alma Maria nowicki. I have, um... Yes, please. Yeah. -Alma? -After my grandmother. Wonderful. It's just this way. Okay. She's not sleeping. It's -- it's okay. You can go in. Let's go. Chocolate parfait. With or without nuts? I didn't know you people made house calls. We do. On a rare occasion, we do. Don't think I don't know who you are. You're that bitch who got Rafael fired. No. Um... It's me. Alma. Your daughter. You need to leave. I don't want you here. Go! I said go. Okay. We have a wide assortment of flavors. Although the ch-- chocolate parfait is -- it's a wise choice. I have to tell you about the chocolate fudge cake. It's very popular amongst the kids. It's pretty exceptional. But it's just really depending on you and your -- your mood. Like, you know, some days you wake up, you're vanilla. Next day, you're chocolate. And that's kind of how life is. That's kind of how ice cream is. The way I see it -- now, look. I don't want to, you know, push anything on you. I just -- I just want to let you know that i am a connoisseur of ice cream. Hey. Hey. She calmed down, okay? You want to go talk with her? I think you should. Hi. It's a nice place. Katharine: They leave you alone with your thoughts. He said you're not the girl who fired Rafael. No. You look just like her. Yeah. Forgive me. No, mama. Forgive me. I get so tired. Me, too. Hey. Hey. You were kind to her. Well, it's easier when they're not your own. You okay? I was 14 when she started showing symptoms. It's a really bad age for a girl to start losing her mother. Early-onset familial Alzheimer's. Her mother had it, her mother before her. Dance therapy. That's not dance therapy. That's -- that was a seizure. That wasn't a seizure. It was -- yeah, it was a little bit of a seizure. Are you okay? No, no, no, no. It's like -- you got to, like, loosen up your body more. You got to, like, um... Oh. Oh. Nice. That would be Michael Jackson. Let's go. Okay. Don't laugh. I'm not gonna laugh. Okay. I promise. Okay. Um... Bright splashes, the truth is chilling, hope in muted colors. Love speaks without a voice. Through a touch, i am whole. Hope Springs. Not eternal. Tentative. Fearful. Pain subsided. But that, too, is painful. I care. Did I say that? Is the light too late to be glorious? Lolita: Can I tell you something? Not having sex with you was the best sex I've ever had. Kenny: You okay? Are you? Yeah. Lolita: I'm scared. You're a good man. Lolita? Lolita. Hey! Lolita! Hold on! Hold on. Wait! Wait! Look at me. Look at me! Lolita! Lolita. Lolita! Look at me! Lolita! Please look at me. Alma Maria nowicki, look at me. Alma. Alma Maria nowicki, look at me! You can't say we got nothing to live for. It's just words. It's just words. No, it's not just words. How you want to do this? Want to do it on three? We could hold hands. One... Two... ...three. No! No! No, no, no. I won't let you do this. I know you won't. I don't want to live without you. I don't want to live without you, either. Can we go back over now? I'm a little bit afraid of heights, and, uh, i didn't realize that until we got up here. Let's go back, okay? Let's go back. Okay. You're coming too, right? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Whose idea was this? It was yours. It was your idea. You okay? Okay. Ready? Okay. Give me your leg. Ohh. Fuck. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Bring this -- let's bring this one here. Okay. Ow. Fuck. Ohh. Oh, fuck. Oh, my god. God. Ohh. You okay? Yeah. Okay. You? Yeah. What do we do now? Everything. |
