(SLOW MUSIC)
BATTER: Come on Jack,
you throw like a fucking girl.
This one's coming
right at your vagina.
Okay, it was a little high.
(METALLIC THWACK)
All right, this ones coming
right at your dick, sucker.
(LAUGHS)
Oh come on, come
on motherfucker.
I warned you, I warned you.
Not the face.
(MEN GRUNTING)
(HEAVY THUDS)
Oh shit.
(HEAVY THUD)
(CRACK)
Oh, how's your nose, Tony?
That looks like it hurt.
Let's go to Haps.
Let's go to the bar.
Bar.
(UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC)
MAN WITH LONG HAIR:
Where the fuck did you get this hat?
That's where I'm coming.
Goddamn.
Bill, I'm not even
kidding, though.
I saw this girl today.
She was like an angel.
Think about it.
Jealous.
Think about it.
It goes against biology.
We evolved from
chimpanzees and bonobos.
They just wiggle it around
in a bunch of places.
Oh yeah, I bet you
wiggle it around.
You been wiggling around in
all places, don't you, Jack?
(WHOOPS)
Why is he always
trying to make me run?
Danny, this isn't track,
you fucking loser.
Hey.
Ah.
Hey, buddy.
Oh.
Where you been, dude?
How's your buddy Larry doing?
Larry, how you doing, buddy?
You're doing awesome, all right.
I'll drive today.
Come on, let's go get drunk.
Danny, Jack.
Two of the good stuff.
What are you gonna do, Jack?
Are you gonna stay
at the welding shop?
Are you gonna move on?
Fuck, I don't know, man.
Those fucking guys.
But you're better
than that place, Jackie.
You are better than
that fucking place, man.
JACK: Yeah, but fucking
bills gotta get paid, right?
I gotta pee, gotta
pee, I'll be back.
Fine, don't cheers me, bitch.
I heard that.
Woah, Robby.
Where were you today, dude?
ROBBY: What are you doin',
dude, this is the men's room.
(DANNY LAUGHS)
That's the way.
That's the fucking way
of the future, bro.
Yeah.
You don't need to say
anything and I know you agree.
(GRUNTS) You know what I
mean, it was like (GRUNTS).
Fuck you, dude, knock it off.
Get the fuck out of here.
Hey, that was me doing
all that, by the way.
Oh yeah, you beat his ass, Jack?
I fucking cornered his nose.
(DANNY LAUGHS)
Jack, it kinda freaks me out
when you say shit like that.
Where's Nate, is he
hanging out with that homo?
Dude, fucking Larry's the shit.
ROBBY: Larry smells like shit.
Oh, dude.
What'll it be?
Am I right, am I right, Danny?
Hey, can I get two
beers and a whisky?
Anything else, you let me know.
Thanks.
God, wow.
DANNY: Really?
Fuck, all right,
Bill, I need a shot
of whisky for my buddy, Jessie.
ROBBY: He's gonna go for it.
He's gonna lose.
Yep.
Jessie!
There he goes.
So Janice is coming.
How was work?
WOMAN: I hope so, she's with Mike.
At least he's cute.
So what are you ladies doing
hanging out with
Clark Kent here?
(CHUCKLES) Look who's
talking, Wolverine.
Ooh.
And you are?
Look, we're sort of in the
middle of a conversation.
DANNY: So?
So you might have better
luck elsewhere tonight.
All right.
(CROWD CHATTER)
Jack, you gotta learn
to take criticism.
Oh my god, man, jeez.
ROBBY: No go?
(LAUGHS) Oh fuck, really?
Oh dude, I've never
seen that before.
ROBBY: Shut the fuck up,
Jack, you didn't even try.
Aw, shit.
What?
I heard what you did to Tony.
DANNY: Oh, I thought I broke his jaw.
You and your fucking
club jumped him.
DANNY: Get the fuck off me.
(GRUNTING)
(LOUD THUDS)
MAN: Brennan caused a fight.
ROBBY: Get the fuck out of here, Vince.
You got your fucking
posse with you.
BILL: Vince, get the fuck out.
VINCE: I'll be seeing you.
(GRUNTS)
Nice, Vince, man.
Fucking missed it, dude.
Sorry, Bill.
JACK: Sorry, Bill.
You know what I'm
talking about, Larry?
(CROWD CHATTER)
(SLOW GUITAR MUSIC)
Watch your light source.
So tomorrow, we'll
begin to cover modernism
and how it evolved from
the realistic style
of a neoclassical era.
This is gonna be
an exciting look
at the cultural movements
that began to move artists
into a new frame of
abstract thinking
(CLAPS) and that's a wrap.
Have a good day.
(WATER RUNNING)
I love everything about you
I see all that you can do
JESSIE: Don't quit your day job, Danny.
Hey, Jessie.
Some day, I'm getting the
hell out of this town, man.
You've seen the I-15
going south, right?
Oh yeah.
That's my road to freedom, man.
That's my road to freedom.
You've been saying that since
you got this shit job, Danny.
So this Professor Heller
seems like she'll be okay.
I just hope she doesn't
turn out like Hanley.
She's more than
just a pretty scholar.
Her work has been
shown in New York.
This is huge.
For a professional artist,
she had a hell of a time
talking to a bunch
of college kids.
She's used to art
scholars in Chelsea.
She's just nervous.
Who's nervous?
Oh, our new
intermediate techniques
teacher, Professor Heller.
She's the one that replaced
Hanley after the incident.
Oh yeah, wasn't he the hot one?
Ooh.
Please.
(SLOW MUSIC)
Hey.
Hey, hey.
Yeah?
Drop these?
Thanks.
You an artist?
I'm really late for class.
Thank you.
DANNY: Guys, what do you think
about getting out of here, man?
Why, man, go where?
DANNY: I don't know, see the fucking
world or something, you know?
What fucking money, man?
I don't know,
some day we're gonna
have our own island, right Jack?
Yeah, yeah maybe I
could own my own island
if my parents gave
me some motivation.
At least you still
have your parents.
At least your parents
weren't fucking druggies.
By a bunch of orphans
floppin' maniacs around.
ROBBY: That's true, your
life is pretty fucked up,
but at least you weren't
raised on the res.
Touche.
Yep, I'm fucked.
DANNY: You're fucked?
I'm fucked.
I'm fucked, we're all fucked.
Oh yes, man, we are
all fucking fucked!
(EVERYONE WHOOPS AND SHOUTS)
(CROWD CHATTER)
(DISHES CLINKING)
WOMAN: Hey.
You were at the
bar the other day.
DANNY: What bar?
Haps.
I don't think so.
Listen, sorry if I've been rude.
I'm Parker.
What?
I'm Parker.
Hey.
Okay.
See you around.
The government does not have
your best interests in mind.
I know, dude.
It's all a means
to an end for them.
Check it out.
I agree.
ROBBY: The media, the internet,
it's all means of control.
I totally agree, dude.
Dude, they don't
want you to think.
You to be an individual.
It's fucked, man.
Oh my god, would
you guys fucking stop
with the conspiracy shit?
It depresses me.
That's 'cause your
life is depressing, Jack.
You know, the next
time you knuckleheads
start going around
screaming fuck America,
I'm gonna act like I
don't even know you.
(SLOW MUSIC)
(FOOTSTEPS)
DANNY: My name's Daniel
and you can call me Danny.
Nice to meet you, Daniel.
Danny.
Oh, I love painting.
I'm just not crazy about how
things are run here, you know?
The program is nice,
but I don't wanna
put all my eggs in one basket.
I get scared to.
Yeah, that'll do it.
I'd like to get to New
York if I did though.
Yeah, New York would be awesome.
You don't seem
like a big city guy.
What are you talking
about, I've been there.
Really?
Yeah.
What?
What?
Just because I wash dishes
here and smoke cigarettes
and hit on chicks at
the local dive bar,
you think I'm a hick, don't you?
I didn't say that.
What was up with you
the other night anyway?
This big tough guy
getting into fights.
Yeah, I like to think so.
Let me guess.
Seattle.
No, what makes you say that?
Because you have the whole
Seattitude thing going on.
Yeah, the whole
I'm a bohemian hippie
that acts like I don't
have a lot of money,
but in reality probably come
from a nice large trust fund,
which affords me the luxury
of a college education,
but in reality, if I was like
a lot of these poor families,
I wouldn't be acting
like a pompous art junkie
who thought I could
actually change the world.
That's Seattitude for you.
PARKER: Wow.
And you are who?
I didn't mean
you were like that.
Oh, really?
I gotta go to class.
DANNY: So where you from?
Parker, are you
thinking of pursuing this?
Education is my major
sort of as a backup, but...
There are artists in New York
who work decades to
create pieces like this.
Anyone with this kind of
natural touch is blessed.
JANICE: So what was all
that shit with Heller today?
I have no idea.
I mean, she's a good teacher.
She's probably just trying
to be supportive or whatever,
but I don't know, I guess
it just weirds me out.
Well, she doesn't
pull anybody else aside.
But you know we all
have to bust our asses
to do something as half
as good as what you do.
(SLOW MUSIC)
We should check this
thing out, it's awesome.
I used to come here
when I was little.
(PARKER CHUCKLES)
I've been here my whole life,
but I wanna get out, you know?
PARKER: Family?
I have a brother who's older.
Parents?
Nah, that's a long story.
(DOG BARKING)
So anyway, where are you from?
Seattle.
See, I knew it.
(PARKER LAUGHS)
I knew it.
Hey, I love Seattle.
It's a beautiful city.
Oh, I know, I've been there.
You really get around.
DANNY: I do.
What do you mean, like
what do I wanna do right now
or what do I wanna do in life?
Life.
I don't know, I definitely don't
wanna be a dishwasher
my whole life, you know?
That job sucks my soul, man.
Sorry, I say man to everyone.
(PARKER LAUGHS)
So who were you with
at the bar the other day?
Oh, those guys?
They're like my real
family, you know?
Who was that guy
who came up to you?
Don't worry about it.
No, who was it?
Just some white trash bastard
I went to high school with.
He talked like there's a gang
or something in Helena, Montana.
I know, it's stupid.
If you were in a city, you'd
probably be dead by now.
Okay, can we drop it please?
Sorry.
Don't be sorry, okay?
Man.
I gotta tell ya.
MAN: Daniel Brennan.
Shit.
What's up, Joe?
Hey, Brennan.
What have you been up to?
You know, I haven't
seen you in a while.
I know.
Since track senior year.
Yeah, that's right.
So what happened, you know?
You didn't go to Colorado?
Nah, no, I didn't.
That's a shame.
You know, you could've
been something fantastic.
You know, toughest
runner I ever saw.
Yeah, I'll tell my
kid I ran into you.
Yeah, thanks, thanks, Joe.
(BELLS RINGING)
Yeah, I guess, but I think
college is kind of overrated.
Overrated?
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
(PARKER LAUGHS)
I mean, it's like the
perfect business plan.
They drill it all into your
head through high school,
like what college
are you gonna go to?
You gotta prepare for
college, you know?
Well, a college
degree is becoming
more and more necessary.
Yeah, I guess, I don't know.
Gets me depressed
thinking about it.
What?
Like that guy said, you know?
I was supposed to be the
next big runner, you know?
Really?
Yeah, I used to run the 800.
I don't know, guess I just
thought I didn't need it.
Threw it away.
So this your place, huh?
PARKER: Mm-hmm.
Well, we should hang out again.
Well, you know where I am.
Not a problem.
All right, see you tomorrow.
Yep.
Woo!
(BARKS)
Coming to getcha.
(SIREN)
It's like run, Forrest,
run (CHUCKLES).
(JACK GRUNTS)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man.
I ain't got no
fight with you, man.
Think you got no
beef with me, huh?
You tell your boy, Danny,
he knows where to find me.
Bitch!
(HEAVY THUD)
(JACK GRUNTS)
(SLOW GUITAR MUSIC)
(SLOW ROCK MUSIC)
Chase the guy who's got
a fucking limp, you know?
I can't run with this foot.
I can't fucking run
with this fucking foot.
Goddamn retarded foot.
(CARS HONKING)
I didn't stand my ground, man.
I didn't stand my ground.
Don't tell Robby I
tried to run, all right?
Don't worry about it.
Time to settle this, man.
(CARS DRIVING BY)
Oh, man.
VINCE: Hey.
Here they come.
VINCE: Who wants to bleed first?
Well, we got five on five,
it should be pretty fair.
Oh wait, you have Tony.
(HEAVY THUDS)
(MEN GRUNTING)
Get Jack.
(HEAVY THUDS)
(MEN GRUNTING)
Come on, Jack.
Come on, good job, let's go.
(VINCE YELLS)
Get fucking messed up.
Fuck him up, Danny.
You're a bitch, Vince.
(HEAVY THUD)
Fuck.
Yeah, Danny.
Yeah.
Fucking pig.
Yeah.
Let's roll.
All right.
JESSIE: Let's get a drink.
NATE: Catch you later, bitches.
Danny, you just
beat Vince's ass.
I know, dude.
Yeah, you fucked him up.
Jack fucking chokes you.
(NATE LAUGHS)
Wrestling, awesome,
wrestling champs.
You saved my life.
Good spider monkey, dude.
NATE: And right when I turned
that punk around and just whack.
That was for you,
man, we do that for you.
(DANNY GRUNTS)
I love you.
Woo, woo, woo!
(JACK AND DANNY WHOOP)
I love it.
You did this?
Yeah, that's my house at home.
I mean, you're amazing.
This is amazing.
Thanks.
Damn.
I gotta take you to
this place sometime.
What place?
Oh, you'll see.
It'll inspire you.
Well, do you want
some tea or coffee
or I have beer or wine?
I'll take a beer.
Damn.
I'm telling you, man.
What, man?
Okay, Parker.
No, I gotta tell you, like,
your paintings, I mean it just
makes me wanna do
something with my life.
Well, what do you wanna do?
I don't know.
I always thought I
could be a good coach.
I was always into
how teams connected
and played off of each other
and how people connect,
you know what I'm saying?
You should read Siddhartha.
Yeah, I've heard of that.
(PARKER CHUCKLES)
It's all about connection.
DANNY: Really?
Yeah.
How everything, people,
animals, nature, objects
are all connected,
but the main character
has to go through
all these trials
and life experiences
in order to realize it.
It's like no religion
or philosophy
or teachings can provide
the answers for him.
He has to experience
it for himself.
Woah.
PARKER: Yeah.
Um,
have you ever been in love?
I don't think so.
I guess a little, but
it never worked out.
You?
Oh yeah, I've been in love.
There was this one girl, Sarah.
I was totally into her.
It was like love at
first sight, you know?
That's absurd.
What?
I don't believe in
love at first sight.
What are you talking about?
There's love at first sight.
I always have to
know the person first.
DANNY: No, there's totally
love at first sight.
Maybe lust at first sight.
No, I have experienced it.
PARKER: How old were you?
Oh my god.
Um,
I should probably go,
but thanks for the beer
and your paintings
are incredible.
What?
(DOOR CREAKS)
(SLOW GUITAR MUSIC)
(DOOR CLOSES)
And I just wanna
lie with you
I wanna go grey with you
But I don't wanna
capture you
I'll always be after you
And no man's a saint
And no man could capture you
With words of pain
Hey.
Hey.
I've seen a few of them go
And died, broke and insane
A man, cut in pain
Nice guy on the floor
I rode a little red boat
Used to give him
a way with words
And he walked away from her
Don't think he
ever got to see
The lights on the
Eiffel Tower
And I just wanna
lay with you
I wanna go grey with you
But I don't wanna
capture you
(PARKER SCREAMS)
That was louder.
I'll always be after you
And no man's a saint
Your favorite painting, huh?
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Yeah.
A Native American chief
Blue Cloud died here.
Like, these four
rock formations?
They represent
four great chiefs.
My buddy Jessie took me
here for the first time.
Maybe you aren't
an uncultured hick.
I wouldn't go that far.
This is beautiful, Danny.
In moments before a big
track meet, I'd come up here
and reflect on the
moment ahead, you know?
Why did you give it up?
You don't have to tell me.
It was my senior year
and I was contending
for first in the state.
See, my Dad, he
was an encourager.
He made you believe you
could do anything, Parker.
Anything.
They were at every single
track meet, my parents.
The second to last meet
of the year, divisionals,
I ran my best race.
I didn't see him there though.
Turned out a semi driver
fell asleep on the road.
Oh god, Danny.
I haven't ran since.
I just couldn't.
Threw away my full
ride into Colorado.
I don't know what to say.
But Parker,
when I'm around you, it's
like I'm in this dream
and everything else
just fades away.
I don't wanna be
separated from you.
You're never gonna be.
(SLOW GUITAR MUSIC)
(UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC)
All I want to do
Is dig a hole with you
Feeling no stranger
to the undertow
Wind won't decide
which way to blow
But we will never leave
You're all that's
left for me
This is our home, we
just don't have a door
Euphoria is a wrist
on the floor
Words keep on crawling
from under the love
But who knew that love
was a dangerous drug
Even the tide gets
high at night
And even the truth
is wrong sometimes
Sometimes
Who knew that love was
a beautiful blues
Who knew that love
was a dangerous drug
I really like the
new place, Parker.
Thank you.
Do you think you can
paint me sometime soon?
Yeah.
Speaking of paintings,
how's yours coming?
I actually haven't
started it yet.
JANICE: You know, it's due Tuesday.
I know, I'm
working on it all day
tomorrow when Danny's at work.
JANICE: Oh, well, if Danny's working.
PARKER: Really, Jan?
Oh my god.
Stop it.
Jan, Dan is hot, okay?
You need to let loose a bit.
Thank you.
And you need to start painting.
Jan and I will bring
you back leftovers.
Jan, come on.
Now.

Say uncle.
Get off of me, fuck-face.
Say uncle.
Say Uncle, peg leg.
JACK: Uncle.
Now say you're my bitch.
Fuck you, Robby.
Say you're my bitch, Jack.
JACK: Goddammit.
Ah, I'm your bitch,
I'm your bitch.
That's better.
God, fuck.
(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)
I'm not mad.
ROBBY: Where the fuck is Danny?
He's in love, man.
What?
(DOOR OPENS)
Danny, where have you been?
Scoot over, Jack.
Dude, someone put
a nut on your face.
Fuck, let's go.
Sweet.
DANNY: Where you going?
Top of the world, you coming?
No.
What the fuck?
I'm hanging out
with Parker, dude.
You hang out with her every day.
So, she's hotter than you guys.
ROBBY: If you're not coming,
I'm gonna sick Nate on you.
(DANNY SIGHS)
Come on, dude.
(UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC)
(TRAIN WHISTLE)
I have a confession to make.
Uh-oh.
I've never been to Seattle.
I know.
I've never even
I haven't even left the
state of Montana, Parker.
You will.
How'd you know?
I could just tell.
How could you tell?
'Cause.
You work as a dishwasher
and you smoke cigarettes
and you hit on chicks at
the local dive (LAUGHS).
I know.
That's how I found you.
(PARKER LAUGHS)
There it is, Parker.
What?
DANNY: That's freedom.
Freedom?
Yeah, freedom, man.
That's the I-15 going south.
That's the road to
freedom right there.
Right there.
PARKER: Where does it go?
It goes to Butte
and then Colorado.
And then?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I haven't ran in
six years, Parker.
I mean, it,
it cleansed my spirit.
That's how I feel
about painting, Danny.
Yeah?
Yeah, it's like I feel
connected, you know?
Yeah.
(SLOW GUITAR MUSIC)
PARKER: It's beautiful, Danny.
Thanks.
Thank you.
I have lyrics to it.
Sing it.
No.
PARKER: Come on.
No, I can't sing.
PARKER: Yes, you can.
No, I cannot.
PARKER: I've heard it.
DANNY: When?
In the shower.
Shit.
(PARKER LAUGHS)
I will, just let me practice it.
So I've been going to the
homeless shelter a lot lately.
DANNY: Yeah, I know.
You should come.
It's depressing.
Might give you some perspective.
DANNY: On what?
That your life
isn't that depressing.
I never said it was.
Are you still fighting?
Am I gonna see you at
the gallery tonight?
Of course, I
would not miss that.
PARKER: I gotta go meet Janice.
Okay.
(SLOW GUITAR MUSIC)
One beer, I can do one
beer and then I gotta go.
Why?
DANNY: I got shit to do, man.
ROBBY: Like what?
I got Parker's show tonight.
Oh my god, of course.
I can't miss it, man.
What's up?
Nothing.
You got that look, Rob.
I just haven't seen
you at all lately
and now guess who
your substitute is?
Jack, Jack.
I mean, what the fuck?
I don't know.
Trying to reevaluate, man.
Like I was reading
somewhere that Colorado
accepts walk-ons for
their track team.
That'd be cool.
(SLOW ROCK MUSIC)
Yeah, we'll see, man.
Feels like I'm losing a brother.
Yeah, dude, I love her.
Fuck that.
Shut up, dude, I love her, man.
No, you don't.
Dude, shut up.
I just don't want
you to get webbed.
DANNY: I'm fine, man.
What, I love her, man.
Like, she completes me, dude.
She's like my other half,
you know what I'm saying?
ROBBY: Woah, watch it crackhead.
DANNY: Dude, that's actually a meth head.
ROBBY: Fuck that shit.
Those guys are
fucking crazy, dude.
Fucking meth.
Robby, stop.
Just don't do it, Robby.
Is this your first time, dude?
Meth, not even once.
METH HEAD: Fuck.

(HEAVY THUDS)
Fuck.
(DANNY GRUNTS)
Robby, get the fuck
up, dude, come on.
(SOFT PIANO MUSIC)
Well, people seem
to really be responding.
It's the passion
more than the technique
that draws people in.
Those are my
friend's exact words.
WOMAN: I love your paintings.
Thank you.
Your friend?
Let's just say
you want a professor
from the New York Academy
of Arts to notice you.
(SLOW ROCK MUSIC)
(MAN GRUNTS)
(LOUD THUDS)
He started it, man.
Fucking.
Oh shit.
Get off him, man.

Get off him, fucking bitch.
Bitch.
You're kidding.
No, I'm not kidding.
(SOFT PIANO MUSIC)
Hi, thank you for
coming this evening.
Really appreciate you coming.
(SLOW ROCK MUSIC)
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Oh, goddammit.
I'll fucking kill you, you fuck.
Fuck.
We gotta go, Larry.
Are you okay?
No, I'm fine, you damn kids.
Let's go.
Robby.
Robby.
(TRAIN IN DISTANCE)
Dammit, Robby.
(EERIE RINGING)
Parker.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
The showcase ended
a half hour ago.
DANNY: Is Parker still here?
She's gone.
And if you're the one she
was waiting for all night,
you need to understand
what you're doing to her.
What?
What am I doing to her?
Her lack of focus on her work
and her focus on you
is holding her back.
She's gonna lose an opportunity
in New York because of you.
Look at you.
Parker deserves
better than this.
Danny.
Are you okay?
(WATER RUNNING)
DANNY: Yeah, babe, sorry.
Sorry I missed the gallery.
What the hell happened?
What do you think?
Dammit, Danny, did
you get in a fight?
No, no, I slipped
on my ass, yeah.
Yes, I got in a fight.
Robby's a bad influence.
DANNY: Shut up.
What the hell, Danny.?
Just stop please.
PARKER: I get worried about you.
You get worried about me?
I mean, come on.
Fuck you then, Danny.
Oh.
Fuck you.
Oh, fuck me, huh?
Yeah, fuck me, huh?
Fuck me, huh, fuck me, huh?
Danny.
Fuck me.
Yeah.
(GLASS BREAKING)
Danny.
Fuck.
Danny.
What?
You think I'm some kind of
fucking small town hick?
Loser, piece of
fucking shit loser.
Daniel, stop.
(DANNY YELLS)
Stop.
Stop it.
Stop, stop.
Stop.
Stop.
DANNY: I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
I just like yelling.
Okay, okay.
ROBBY: Stop cutting the corner,
you're fucking cheating.
Would you stop
whining, you pussy?
(CARS RACING IN VIDEO GAME)
Dude, I'm sorry
about last night.
I was being a dumb ass.
Super dumb ass, man.
Thanks, Nate.
I'm sorry, bro.
No, man, but,
I mean, you fucked up
the other night, man.
That fight should
not have happened.
All right, dude.
I mean, that was a
fucking meth head, dude.
All right, well, what about
all the times I saved your ass
picking fights on the res?
Dude, I was 17.
Like that was any smarter?
I was 17, man.
I mean, come on,
it's not a matter
of saving your ass anyway.
I love you, dude.
It's a matter of not
getting into those
fucking situations anymore, man.
I mean, fuck.
All right.
All right, all right.
God.
I mean, I have got to
stop this shit, dude.
I mean, we are the only ones
that like to fucking get
in fights anymore, man.
Fine.
What the fuck have
you been up to lately/
What do you mean?
I mean ever since you and Parker
been fucking, you got soft.
Am I right, guys?
Dude, don't bring Parker
into this fucking shit, dude.
This is our deal, man.
Parker's the one that turned
you into a fucking pussy.
(DOOR SLAMS SHUT)
Dammit.
You fucked up last
night, man, end of story.
I'm an asshole.
Yeah, you are.
Shut up.
(BELLS RINGING IN DISTANCE)
PARKER: Are you okay?
Yeah.
PARKER: Come on, Danny, talk.
DANNY: I'm okay, I just,
I gotta get out of
this shit, you know?
PARKER: Yeah.
I know.
Wait, wait, wait.
I love you, okay?
I know.
I love you.
(SOFT ROCK MUSIC)
Hey, Larry.
Thanks for helping last night
when the meth head
tried to kill my friend.
You remember that?
Huh?
Are you gonna say anything?
Sorry about last night.
Shut up.
I know.
Well, let me say it.
Say you're sorry
you picked a fight
with a meth head in my bar?
Sorry I had to call the cops
and make up some
bullshit story for you?
I didn't pick the
fight with him, Bill.
Just stop, okay?
'Cause if it's not
you, it's Robby
and if it's not Robby, it's you.
Every goddamn time.
Why are you losing her?
I don't know.
You've been coming in
here since you were a kid
just old enough to
look over the bar.
Back then, I saw a
young kid with promise.
I saw your Dad in you.
Get the hell out of here, man.
Thanks, Bill.
All right.
DANNY: Thanks.
(SLOW HUMMING MUSIC)
Babe, what you working on?
It's a secret.
You're home early.
Yeah.
Thanks.
You look beautiful.
Shut up.
(SLOW PIANO MUSIC)
What the fuck is his problem?
It's like ever since Parker
happened, he's never around.
(SOFT ROCK MUSIC)
Homo (COUGHS).
What the hell, Jack?
Shut the fuck up, Jack.
I will beat your ass.
Dude, I'm fucking kidding, man.
Danny'll come around.
He's in love, man.
Bill, three shots.
ROBBY: Fuck that, let's get out of here.
Never mind, Bill.
JESSIE: Fuck that, I'm
staying, getting drunk.
Jessie's staying,
keep the shots, Bill.
Hey, Robby.
Remember when we were kids
and those older dudes were
beating on me in
the fourth grade?
You and Danny were the
only ones who backed me up,
even though you knew you'd
get beat down as bad as me.
ROBBY: Yeah?
And remember junior
year of high school?
Danny took the rap for us, man.
Even though it almost got him
kicked off the fucking team.
What's your point, Jack?
We've always been
there for each other.
Always.
That's not gonna change,
especially for a girl, man.
(SLOW PIANO MUSIC)
I mean, he loves her,
but we're his boys.
I just miss him, dude.
I miss coming up
here, all five of us.
Bullshitin', jokin' around.
(TRUCK APPROACHES)
Look who it is.
(SLOW ROCK MUSIC)
Steward of the king.
That's good vocab, Vince.
You finally graduated
fifth grade?
Where's your boyfriend?
I'm the only one who's allowed
to call my friends homos.
Four of you and two of us.
Problem is your boy Danny
really fucked up this time.
Danny doesn't fight anymore.
Tell that to my fucking cousin.
33 stitches across his face,
crushed his fucking nose in.
I didn't know that was
your fucking cousin, Vince.
I thought this shit was done,
but it's just got personal.
Now I gotta take one of
Danny's boys to the hospital.
Woah, Vince.
This was my fault.
If you gotta fuck someone up,
Fuck you, Robby.
Shut the fuck up, Jack.
You're fighting, I'm fighting.
Jack, I've always
liked your spirit.
Can't fight worth a damn,
but at least you try.
It's too bad.
Let's get this motherfucker.
ROBBY: No, no.
(MEN GRUNTING)
Watch this, motherfucker.
(HEAVY THUDS)
(MEN GRUNTING)
(WHOOPS)
(SAD MUSIC)
Do you like what you see, bitch?
Let's get the fuck out of here.
You tell Danny where
he can find me.
Jack.
Jack.
Jack.
VINCE: Go, go.
(TRUCK STARTS)
(TRUCK DRIVES AWAY)
Oh, fuck Jack.
Oh fuck.
(GRUNTS)
Jack.
(PHONE RINGS)
(SLOW ROCK MUSIC)
Hello?
Robby, what up, man?
Robby, I can't hear you, man.
(SLOW PIANO MUSIC)
No, you fuck.
No, Jack, no.
No.
You come back.
You come back.
Oh
Ah
Yeah
Oh
Ah
Ah
Goddammit.
You know, if Danny
would've been there,
we could've taken those guys.
Come on, Robby.
Let's just play the game, man.
No, in the old
days, it would have
been Danny, Jack, and me.
The Three Musketeers.
It's not his fault, Robby.
Just drop it, man.
You know, I used to be
able to depend on Danny.
Now, no.
Yeah, if Danny would
have been there,
Jack would be playing this
game with us right now.
(LOUD CRASH)
(ROBBY AND DANNY GRUNTING)
They need this, man.
(HEAVY THUDS)
(ROBBY AND DANNY GRUNTING)
(DOG BARKING)
(DOOR CLOSES)
I fold.
(DOOR OPENS)
DANNY: Is Jack in his room?
Yeah, bro.
Robby's with him.
Hey, Danny.
How you doing, man?
Really good, man.
Danny, you'd be proud.
We kicked their asses.
Sure you did, dude.
JACK: Where's Robby?
Doctors say he'll
never be the same.
Look, Rob.
I'm sorry too.
Give me a cigarette.
Got a light?
'Sup?
My god.
Do you like it?
I love it.
I gotta go hang out with Robby.
I thought we were going
to the movies today.
I know, babe, but I got to.
This, this is beautiful.
Danny.
Look, I was at the gallery
and I talked to Heller.
And?
Danny, where is this relationship,
where are we going?
DANNY: I don't know, forward.
Forward.
Yeah.
Look, look, I'm sorry, okay?
What about?
DANNY: No, I don't because
I'm not a fucking mind-reader.
I don't see you anymore, Danny.
Just, can you stop please?
Look, I'm sorry.
PARKER: Don't.
Dammit.
PARKER: What did you say to him?
The truth.
PARKER: The truth?
After everything
that you've done...
Stop.
It's my life.
It's smothering you.
Look, you've got so many
late and missing assignments.
You're not gonna pass
unless it changes today.
Look, a year ago, there's
no way I could have done that
and I started doing that
when Danny came into my life.
Parker, you've got the passion.
All you need is the drive.
You just need to find a
balance before you burn out.
Otherwise you're gonna
find yourself stuck.
Wait.
What's this?
Pack for New York.
(PARKER CHUCKLES)
(SLOW MUSIC)
I was wondering when you'd show.
It's over, Vince.
It is over.
You gonna be a little pussy now?
You gonna be a
little chicken shit?
(GRUNTS)
How's your boy Jack doing now?
Your retard.
(SOFT SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Come on, Vince, it is over, man.
Are you serious?
Hit me.
Okay.
Get out of here.
Get out of here.
Get the fuck out of here.
(CAR STARTS AND DRIVES AWAY)
(SLOW MUSIC)
Babe.
Babe, your eggs
are getting cold.
(SIGHS)
Parker.
Are you okay?
What are we doing?
PARKER: What do you mean?
I mean, you're obviously
not happy with me right now.
Yes, I am.
You're the one who's not happy.
Maybe you're right.
What?
I don't know, I
love you, Parker.
I love you, I just,
but...
But what?
I don't know.
I feel like you're smothering me
and I'm smothering you.
This is news to me.
Parker, one of my best
friends almost lost his life.
So this is what this is about?
I just feel like I need to
spend some time with
those guys, okay?
All right?
All right, I am sorry.
If you wanna break up with me,
why don't you just do it?
Are you serious?
Danny.
Maybe just a break.
A fucking break?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I just,
I just can't.
I just,
I'm not the man
you want me to be.
I,
I wish I was.
PARKER: Why, Danny?
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
(MELANCHOLY PIANO MUSIC)
(SOBS)
(SLOW ROCK MUSIC)
JACK: Danny's going to state.
You're gonna smoke 'em, Danny.
Can't do it.
Danny's going to state.
Number one, Danny.
Danny's number one.
Come on.
Come on, Parker, pick up.
Hey.
Hey.
How are you doing?
Yeah?
How you doing?
Yeah?
New York, that's awesome.
Yeah.
You're gonna go?
Yeah, can I meet you there?
Okay.
All right.
All right, see ya.
Man, four years went
by way too fucking fast.
I'm gonna miss you guys so much.
(LAUGHS)
Come 'ere.
(LAUGHS)
Are you guys gonna come
to New York and visit me?
JANICE: Yes.
(PARKER LAUGHS)
Of course.
(SOFT ROCK MUSIC)
Jameson, man.
(FOOTSTEPS)
Larry.
What up?
How's your friend been?
Nate, Nate has
been spiraling down.
I meant Parker.
You know Parker?
LARRY: I see her at the
shelter all the time.
(DANNY CHUCKLES)
Does she talk about me?
Not lately.
(COUGHS)
You're a good kid, but
you're me 10 years ago.
I had a chance to
stop coming in here.
I had a chance to fix it.
Don't let your habits get
you, that's all I'm saying.
Take me to the shelter.
And oh, Lord, won't
you please lift me up
'Cause I, I
I'm everything but fine
Hey, what'd you think
of that book I gave you?
Oh.
You liked it?
Yeah, it's all right.
Good.
DANNY: Nate.
NATE: Hey, Danny.
I didn't know you
worked here, man.
Oh, it ain't work, Danny.
This is love, man.
You should come help.
Come on around the counter here.
All right, I will.
I'm Danny, how's it going?
Going good, how you doing?
Good, it's chilly.
Jimmy, this is Danny.
Nice to meet you.
I have trouble
scooping that bitch up.
Ribs.
(LAUGHS) I know.
Well work on it.
(LAUGHS) Oh, okay.
(SLOW MUSIC)
(WATER RUNNING)
(DISHES CLATTERING)
What are you doing?
Quitting my day job, man.
JESSIE: You hit me up,
cousin, you hit me up.
(WHOOPS)
(INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC)
You are one insane
son of a bitch, Danny.
So Parker's leaving
for New York today, huh?
DANNY: Yeah.
You miss her?
So anyway, dude, what
are you doing tonight?
Haps, man.
There's this girl, Nancy.
So what were you
saying about Colorado?
Accepting walk-ons?
Yeah, dude, I looked into it,
but shit, I had a full
ride there once, Robby.
Isn't that right, Jack?
Man, shit.
Woah, woah, woah, dude.
What's that about?
I miss seeing you spill
your guts on the track, Danny.
I mean, I'm gonna drink
beer and get in fights
and hopefully get laid
every once in a while,
probably for the
rest of my life.
I'm a fucking cook.
Now I got Jack
following me around
like a fucking dog
and I love him,
but that's my life and I dig it.
I'm happy.
You got all this angst.
Ever since the
accident happened, man,
you haven't been happy.
You weren't even
happy with Parker.
I don't know what it is you
gotta do, but you gotta do it.
Get the fuck out of here.
(DANNY CHUCKLES)
You keep that left
hook strong, Jack.
I'll see you soon, man.
(CARS DRIVING BY)
Parker, Parker, Parker, Parker.
Daniel.
Look, I made some
mistakes, I know,
but I realized a lot of things.
When I looked into your eyes
You caught me by surprise
I love everything about you
And I see all
that you can do
(SLOW MUSIC)
(CAR DRIVES AWAY)
(SLOW ROCK MUSIC)
(SLOW GUITAR MUSIC)
You know that I've
been missing you
At least you know
that I tried
You let me go, I
went with him
I had no way to
know if you tried
Now I lay in the darkness
'neath the light of a moon
And I know that my
heartache isn't yours
I may never get over
missing you so long
Try
I'll try
Swinging back and
forth now, baby
Lost beneath the pastel sky
I've seen a wave moving on
But in the end, I got to try
Try
Now I lay in the darkness
'neath the light of a moon
And I know that my
heartache isn't yours
I may never get over
missing you so long
Try
I'll try
Ooh
Now I lay in the darkness
'neath the light of the moon
And I know that my
heartache isn't yours
I may never get over
missing you so long
Try
I'll try
Try
I'll try
