00:19:37She sells motel paintings.
00:19:39Mom, peace out at 118.
00:19:51Well, I've never been to Spain.
00:19:58But I kind of like the music.
00:20:03See, the ladies are insane there.
00:20:07And they sure know how to use it.
00:20:15They don't abuse it.
00:20:19Never gonna lose it.
00:20:21Thank you for calling last minute.
00:20:23I'd like to book on.
00:20:24Your call is important to us.
00:20:25Fuck!
00:20:31Please continue.
00:20:33Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.
00:20:35Oh, Mike.
00:20:36That would never be.
00:20:38No, do it!
00:20:39Well, last minute rights.
00:20:41How may I assist you?
00:20:42Ty, yeah, I'd like to book a one-way cash ticket for as fast as possible from Phoenix to Baltimore.
00:20:50Got it?
00:20:50Let's be real and let it feel so good.
00:20:55Oh, it feels so good.
00:20:57Well, I've never been to heaven.
00:21:02But I've been to Oklahoma.
00:21:07Well, they tell me I was born there.
00:21:12But I really don't remember.
00:21:15In Oklahoma, not Arizona, what does it matter?
00:21:26What does it matter?
00:21:32Mm-hmm.
00:21:34Okay.
00:21:38Hi.
00:21:38Hi.
00:21:39I'm here to see Sue Kloss.
00:21:40Mm-hmm.
00:21:41Is she expecting you?
00:21:42Um, yeah.
00:21:42I left a couple messages.
00:21:43Messages regarding...
00:21:46Regarding Sue.
00:21:47Telling her I was in town.
00:21:48I'm an old friend.
00:21:50I see.
00:21:52Okay.
00:22:00Sue!
00:22:01Hi!
00:22:05What are you doing here?
00:22:06I was wondering if we could talk.
00:22:09Why are you here?
00:22:10I called twice.
00:22:12Did you get the messages?
00:22:13You know what?
00:22:15You guys, I'm sorry.
00:22:16Why don't you go on ahead?
00:22:17Are you sure, Sue?
00:22:18Yeah.
00:22:19No, good.
00:22:19Go.
00:22:20Good.
00:22:23Hi.
00:22:27Can I talk to you for a second?
00:22:28Yeah.
00:22:31This is completely inappropriate.
00:22:33Um...
00:22:34This is like a violation.
00:22:36I wasn't trying to violate you.
00:22:37No, you did.
00:22:38You did.
00:22:38You are.
00:22:39You are violating my personal space.
00:22:41You are violating my personal life.
00:22:43I can't do this.
00:22:44I have to be somewhere.
00:22:44I'm late.
00:22:46It's five o'clock.
00:22:47What could you be late for?
00:22:48I have an event.
00:22:49You have an event?
00:22:51What kind of an event?
00:22:53I'm not gonna tell you.
00:22:54Can I come?
00:22:56I can come?
00:23:26Here. Come on, you need it.
00:23:32You do this every week?
00:23:35Yeah.
00:23:37You're really good.
00:23:40You can't stay, Mike.
00:23:43Why not?
00:23:45Because it's insane.
00:23:47I let you touch my butt and then you fly all the way across the country.
00:23:52Well, it was much more than a butt touch.
00:23:58Still, you can't stay.
00:24:00I got a lot I gotta do.
00:24:02Well, how much stuff can you do in one night?
00:24:04A lot.
00:24:05Like what?
00:24:07Do you go out with friends, or...?
00:24:10Do you see that girl over there?
00:24:12She works for Burger King.
00:24:14She gives me vouchers everywhere.
00:24:16I don't know.
00:24:18I don't know.
00:24:20She gives me vouchers every week.
00:24:22And I pass them out.
00:24:24That's what I do.
00:24:32Hey.
00:24:34I just wanna let you know...
00:24:37If you want me to leave tomorrow, I will. I promise.

00:25:52Do you want me to touch your butt first?
00:25:54No.
00:25:55I only do that when I'm traveling.
00:25:58Right.
00:25:59So, do you...
00:26:00Are you alone here in Maryland?

00:26:10Hmm.
00:26:11I don't...

00:27:04Totally.

00:46:19Hi.
00:46:20I'm here to see Sue, please.
00:46:22Sue no longer works here.
00:46:24I'm sorry?
00:46:26She moved to Washington.
00:46:28D.C.?
00:46:29State.
00:46:30Her own boyfriend convinced her to move out to Aberdeen.
00:46:34Showed up here with flowers, first-class plane tickets.
00:46:36It was very officer and a gentleman.
00:46:38When we hit the numbers, we broke.
00:46:42Broken and changed, unchanged as we spurt.
00:46:48We knew that we would always be down.
00:46:51Hitting the numbers, we were.
00:46:56And somebody beside you, snipped your head inside the ground.
00:47:06Princess of the poppers, and all the old showstoppers,
00:47:11till this moment's still unknown.
00:47:20So thank you.
00:47:26You're new in town, right?
00:47:50Oh, yeah.
00:47:52You're looking for a job?
00:47:57Yeah.
00:47:59You, uh...
00:48:01You want to work here?
00:48:07Seriously?
00:48:07Why the fuck wouldn't I be serious?
00:48:11Al.
00:48:12Hi, Mike.
00:48:13Mike, it is nice to meet you, Mike.
00:48:14Yeah, you too.
00:48:15Dude, you stink.
00:48:17I do?
00:48:17Big time.
00:48:19You can't work here if you stink.
00:48:20It's my parents' place, and they're old school.
00:48:22They really hate stinky people.
00:48:23Okay.
00:48:24Yeah, so, like, go home, take a shower.
00:48:27Please, come back, and I will get you the job.
00:48:31I don't have a home.
00:48:34Really?
00:48:36All right, he also needs a place to live,
00:48:38so I was thinking that maybe we could, you know,
00:48:40let him stay in the basement
00:48:41and deduct some rent from his pay.
00:48:43What's going on?
00:48:44If you want to go to the house,
00:48:45let him stay in the basement,
00:48:47you still want to live here?
00:48:51Great.
00:48:53Yeah.
00:48:56He thanks a lot for helping me out.
00:48:57It really means a lot.
00:48:59Dude, no problem, man.
00:49:01You know, I've been trying to get my folks to hire
00:49:03some American anyway,
00:49:04because we catch less bigot bull shit that way.
00:49:06Plus, I freaking hate work in the mornings.
00:49:08Why?
00:49:09Because I smoke a lot of pot,
00:49:10I don't like sleeping in.
00:49:12That's cool.
00:49:13So, why'd you come to Aberdeen, Mike?
00:49:15Um, this girl that I'm in love with,
00:49:18uh, she moved here to be with her ex-boyfriend.
00:49:23Oh, that sucks, man.
00:49:25Yeah.
00:49:26Yeah, especially considering the guy's a punk.
00:49:30Like a punk punk?
00:49:31Uh, ex-punk. I think he's older now.
00:49:36Does he train dogs?
00:49:38I don't know.
00:49:38Is his name, like, Django?
00:49:42Django.
00:49:43Yeah, I think it is.
00:49:44I have totally heard of this dude, Mike.
00:49:46Is he a punk?
00:49:47No, he's an ex-punk.
00:49:50So, the thing with this guy is, right,
00:49:51he's also like a yogurt magnate, okay?
00:49:54Totally huge in the yogurt business.
00:49:55This guy's like a yogurt fucking mogul.
00:49:57You see those kennels over there?
00:49:59That's where he keeps the dogs.
00:50:01God damn it.
00:50:03What?
00:50:03This guy, this guy's like a total stud.
00:50:07What do you mean?
00:50:08I'm not a sexual Superman.
00:50:10This guy?
00:50:12I mean, no, dude, you're probably fine.
00:50:15You're just saying that.
00:50:16Yeah, that's true, but what do you want me to say?
00:50:18That you're right?
00:50:19No, but...
00:50:20Okay, look, look, no.
00:50:20Chicks these days, they don't want sexual Superman.
00:50:23Okay, they want hard workers, you know, guys who hustle.
00:50:27And I mean, you look like a hustler, Mike.
00:50:29I mean, you came all the way out to Aberdeen, dude,
00:50:31and that's got to count for something, right?
00:50:33Yeah.
00:50:33This guy's got shrubbery shaped like pit bulls.
00:50:37Oh, my God.
00:51:07Dude, I think I got an idea for how you can get your girl back.
00:51:20Really?
00:51:21See that dude sitting over there?
00:51:23He runs a flight school in Olympia.
00:51:25You should talk to him, Mike.
00:51:34Okay, Mike.
00:51:35What do I need now is for you to free your mind
00:51:38so that I have a spiritually fulfilling religious fucking moment.
00:51:43I'm pretty sure I can do it, Sam.
00:51:46That's the Mike that I've come to know over the last eight hours.
00:51:49That's the Mike.
00:51:50Come on, now!
00:52:03Three, two, one...
00:52:06Hey, watch this!
00:52:07I feel like making love...
00:52:08I feel like making love...
00:52:09I feel like making love...
00:52:11I feel like making love...
00:52:14I feel like making love...
00:52:19I feel like making love...
00:52:20On your own!
00:52:23I feel like making love...
00:52:26I feel like making love...
00:52:26I feel like making love to you...
00:52:34No!
00:52:36Whoo!
00:52:38No!
00:52:50Hey!
00:52:52Jesus! Oh, my God!
00:52:54Jangle! Jangle!
00:52:56Jangle!
00:52:58Oh, my God! Who is that?
00:53:00Bill! It's me, Mike!
00:53:02Mike!
00:53:04Jill!
00:53:06What are you doing?
00:53:08Mike, come here!
00:53:10That's what you see me!
00:53:12What the fuck's going on?
00:53:14Here! Mike, come here!
00:53:16Stop it!
00:53:18Come here to me! Follow my hands!
00:53:20Right here! Come here!
00:53:22Come on! There you go!
00:53:24Here I am!
00:53:26Oh, my God!
00:53:28Oh, my God!
00:53:30Back away! Sue!
00:53:32Jangle! Give me the gun! Give me the damn gun!
00:53:34I think I'm dying!
00:53:35It's just BBs!
00:53:36No, I mean, I really think I'm dying!
00:53:38Oh, my God!
00:53:39We're back! Sue! Clear!
00:53:40Ow!
00:53:41Jangle!
00:53:42What are you doing?
00:53:43CPR!
00:53:44Oh, my God! I'm calling an ambulance!
00:53:46Okay!
00:53:47Well, that just looks like you're kissing him, Jangle!
00:53:50Hey!
00:54:04Hi!
00:54:06Hi!
00:54:10Where am I?
00:54:11The Aberdeen Medical Center!
00:54:12The Aberdeen Medical Center!
00:54:17Did, uh...
00:54:18Did...
00:54:19Yeah!
00:54:20Jangle shot you!
00:54:21Which caused you to go into shock!
00:54:25Mike, why?
00:54:29Why did you come out here?
00:54:31Because...
00:54:32Because...
00:54:33I love you!
00:54:39Do I have BB holes in my neck?
00:54:42Yeah!
00:54:43It hurt!
00:54:44I can imagine!
00:54:45Oh...
00:54:47I thought it was over with that guy.
00:54:50It's good to me, Mike.
00:54:52He put me in charge of his company's non-profit yogurt fund,
00:54:55which allows me to do a lot of good things for a lot of people.
00:54:58He also feels horrible about shooting you,
00:55:01and he would like to have you over for dinner.
00:55:04Oh!
00:55:05That's nice.
00:55:09Hey, so who's this guy?
00:55:13That is, uh, me and Joe Strummer
00:55:16in the summer of 79 at the 100 Club in London.
00:55:20Who's Joe Strummer?
00:55:21Joe Strummer most likely made love to your mother, Al,
00:55:25and then wrote a song about it.
00:55:27Here's the two of us throwing up together at CBGB's.
00:55:30Hey!
00:55:31Who's that?
00:55:32Ah!
00:55:34It's me and Ed McMahon.
00:55:36Ed McWildman.
00:55:39Now, he's a true punk.
00:55:41Basically, for me, dog work is a thrill,
00:55:45an adrenaline rush, if you will,
00:55:47that's otherwise hard for me to replicate
00:55:49in the world of yogurt.
00:55:51Especially now that you're not a punk.
00:55:53Ah, well, I'll always be a punk in here, Al.
00:55:55Make no mistake.
00:55:57But there's less need for me to call myself a punk
00:56:00in a world when the very notion of punkdom
00:56:03has been commodified for the mass market.
00:56:07Okay.
00:56:08How do you like your Marsala?
00:56:09It's really good.
00:56:11Yeah?
00:56:12Oh, you're not gonna eat any?
00:56:14No, I...
00:56:15I liquefied it.
00:56:16Listen, I would just like to formally and quite sincerely
00:56:20apologize to you for the BB gun incident.
00:56:23I lost my cool.
00:56:25I was scared for Sue.
00:56:27I was scared for the dog,
00:56:28scared for the general well-being of the pool.
00:56:31So, I just wanna say that I'm...
00:56:33I'm sorry, my...
00:56:35My...
00:56:36My friend, I...
00:56:38Blundered.
00:56:40Yeah.
00:56:41Sorry.
00:56:42Yeah, so now that's behind us.
00:56:44And Sue tells me that you're a painter.
00:56:47Yeah.
00:56:49Very, very talented painter.
00:56:52Oh, when did you have the opportunity to become acquainted with his work, Sue?
00:56:56Uh, that was...
00:56:57It was my last business trip for, uh, Corporate Bliss.
00:57:02Hmm.
00:57:03And...
00:57:04You saw her and thought, great opportunity to promote my art, or you thought, beautiful woman?
00:57:13The first part.
00:57:16The art one.
00:57:17Yeah.
00:57:18Now, and so you're the guy who, uh, paints foxes and hounds for Corporate Arts?
00:57:23Yeah.
00:57:24Okay, cause I got something to say about that.
00:57:26You take a Rottweiler...
00:57:29No, let's say a Malinois chasing a fox.
00:57:32You got a seriously new dynamic on your hands.
00:57:35Because a Malinois on a fox's ass, that'd be a trip.
00:57:41Because a Malinois is gonna turn that little fox into fox meat inside of 23 seconds, you know what I'm saying?
00:57:48So I'd just like to lobby for that a little bit.
00:57:51Okay.
00:57:52That was really great, Chicken Jangle.
00:57:54I love that fuckin' Chicken Jangle.
00:57:56Oh, hey, you had better chicken than that.
00:57:58You'd have to be a rooster.
00:58:04Hey, speaking of, who's up for some dessert?
00:58:07Oh.
00:58:08I got a new flavor I wanna try out on you guys.
00:58:11Henry Rollins' Chicken Wing Crunch.
00:58:17Oh, hey, Sue.
00:58:18Mike and I are gonna go to the Cowboy Club after this.
00:58:20And if you wanna join us, you know, they got really great dancing.
00:58:23I'll think about it.
00:58:25What I'm trying to say is that China is not only gonna kick America's economic butt, but it's gonna invade your whole country.
00:58:38I am talking about you guys getting, like, a whole new flag and whatnot.
00:58:42I'm not.
00:58:43Need to reorient the way you think about the Asians, Mike, because we will blow your mind with our uniqueness and inner beauty.
00:58:49You think she's hot?
00:58:50Yeah.
00:58:51Jordan.
00:58:52Hi, guys.
00:58:53Yes!
00:58:54Sue.
00:58:55Hi.
00:58:56Hi, Mike.
00:58:58You didn't bring Jangle, did you?
00:59:03No, no.
00:59:04He got kind of drunk, so I just told him that I had an errand.
00:59:08Hey, you wanna dance with us, Sue?
00:59:10No.
00:59:11Come on, I know you got a move.
00:59:12I don't have a move.
00:59:13Everybody's got a move, Sue.
00:59:14Mike, show me your move.
00:59:15I don't have a move.
00:59:16Sue, don't you think Mike's got moves?
00:59:17I bet you have a move.
00:59:18Come on, let's bust a move.
00:59:19Come on.
00:59:20Come on.
00:59:21Come on.
00:59:22Come on.
00:59:23Come on.
00:59:24I put on lipstick, paint, and powder.
00:59:27When I do, it's all you see.
00:59:30I put on lipstick, paint, and powder.
00:59:33When I do, it's all you see.
00:59:40Giving someone what they wanted wasn't all I thought it'd be.
00:59:51Don't make it better, make it over.
00:59:56Make it new or make it done.
01:00:01I guess I'll be all right without you.
01:00:07The world looks better when you're gone.
01:00:10Usually walking out the back door.
01:00:16Hey, did you hear?
01:00:18Yeah, Aberdeen is building the biggest biodiesel fuel plant in the country.
01:00:22Whatever you say, Mike.
01:00:24No, we should find a way to get in on that.
01:00:26Yeah.
01:00:31Hey, Django.
01:00:34You know why I'll always be a punk, Matt?
01:00:37Mike?
01:00:38Mike.
01:00:39Because I take very little shit.
01:00:43Hey!
01:00:48I'm watching you, Matt.
01:00:50You stay away from her.
01:00:52No.
01:00:55Jesus Christ, Mike.
01:00:56Mike, Mike, you all right?
01:00:58I'll get him back.
01:01:00All right.
01:01:01Yeah, man.
01:01:02Yeah, man.
01:01:03He's a scumbag.
01:01:04He's gonna regret that.
01:01:13So you sure you wanna do this?
01:01:14Look, don't come if you don't want.
01:01:15Do it.
01:01:16I'm with you.
01:01:18Okay.
01:01:19Let's do it.
01:01:21Let's go.
01:01:46Baby
01:01:51Baby
01:01:52When I think about you

01:04:01Did you tell him about us that we yes?
01:04:10Why
01:04:13Because I'm marrying him
01:04:16What which I need you to accept
01:04:20Why?
01:04:22Because I'm at a point in my life where there are certain things that I need like what like a certain kind of love
01:04:28Well, what kind the kind that is not
01:04:32Like an unguided missile you can't just stalk people around the country
01:04:39You can't parachute into people's pools
01:04:43Knock on people's motel rooms just because you're feeling lonely
01:04:48Life isn't like that
01:04:51For you to be with someone it's it's not all about what you need
01:04:56It's got to be more selfless than that Mike. It's got to be more selfless than that. Oh, like like
01:05:03Save everyone else in the world except yourself. I don't that's not what I do. Yes, it is. No, it's not. Yes, it is

01:05:17That really what you think of me? I'm just
01:05:20I'm just saying I I know what you need which is what to take care of yourself a little
01:05:28So that the people who love you don't feel like they're annoying you
01:05:35Sue Sue just
01:05:38Marry me. Hey, just let the world go screw itself for a half second and just see what happens. Maybe it'll be okay

01:08:47You're going to be all right.
01:08:48Yeah.
01:08:49Yeah.
01:08:50I just want to say, Al, you're the best friend I ever had.
01:09:00Ditto.
01:09:01What a douchebag, huh?

01:09:22My people are really good at that stuff.
01:09:24Oh, dude, don't get carried away.
01:09:25Oh, come on.

01:09:40Yes.
01:09:41Yes.
01:09:42Yes, here.
01:09:43And I won't be satisfied till there's nothing left that I haven't tried.
01:09:48For some people it's an easy choice, but for me there's a devil and an angel's voice.
01:09:55Well, I don't know what I am looking for, but I know that I just wanna look some more.
01:10:03And you hear it from strangers and you hear it from friends that love never dies and love never ends.
01:10:20And I don't wanna fight, you know, I don't wanna fight cause you're always wrong and I'm always right.
01:10:30Well, I don't know what I am living for, but I know that I just wanna live some more.
01:10:37Michael, the progress you've made in your four months here has been remarkable.
01:10:49Thank you, Father.
01:10:50Needless to say, your immersion in the duty of carrot chopper and broom chief has been full and complete.
01:10:58But some worries have arisen.
01:11:00Such as what, Father?
01:11:02Well, first of all, you're not supposed to call me Father.
01:11:06But I must say, I admit I've grown fond of it.
01:11:11Michael, an aspiring Buddha sufferer such as yourself should seek to produce a heart that does not dwell.
01:11:22Of course, Father.
01:11:24In your heart, Michael, may I say, it does dwell.
01:11:28No, it doesn't.
01:11:29It does, Michael.
01:11:31You have not transcended your earthly passions.
01:11:35To put it bluntly, you are stuck.
01:11:39You also spent too much time playing volleyball.
01:11:42Yeah, but I thought that was permitted, Father.
01:11:44Yes, but not for seven hours a day.
01:11:46Also, you encouraged it for a stress release.
01:11:50Yes, I did, yes.
01:11:52But, Michael, Buddhist monks aren't supposed to have seven hours a day worth of stress.
01:11:58We are Buddhist monks.
01:12:00Buddhist monks.
01:12:01So what should I do?
01:12:05My parents died when I was ten.
01:12:07Two months later, my uncle and I moved to America.
01:12:11I was forced to let go of everything I knew in order to move on.
01:12:23Sometimes in life, you must do that.
01:12:28Where are you from, Father?
01:12:30Vietnam.
01:12:31How near a province.
01:12:36My parents were killed in a war.
01:12:40By the Americans?
01:12:41Yes.
01:12:43And yet I moved here.
01:12:46Life is hard.
01:12:53I'm sorry.
01:12:54No, no, no.
01:12:55It is not your fault.
01:13:00Let go, Mike.
01:13:03Let go.
01:13:04Move on.
01:13:24Move on.
01:13:25Move on.

01:14:21Yeah, I'm the guy who sold you my mom's necklace.
01:14:23Oh, yeah, that's right.
01:14:25What can I do you for?
01:14:27I want it back.
01:14:44Dad, do you want me to make you some dinner?
01:14:47Uh, no, I'm all right.
01:14:50Okay.
01:15:00Dad, when you were over in Vietnam, did you ever do any fighting in the Hau Nha province?
01:15:09Yeah.
01:15:15Why?
01:15:17I just met this guy up at the monastery who's from that area.
01:15:23Seemed to really have his shit together.
01:15:27Good to hear.
01:15:28Dad, I've been thinking maybe you should sell this place.
01:15:33You don't even like it here.
01:15:34This was Mom's thing.
01:15:35Why do you say that?
01:15:36Because it's true.
01:15:37Why do you say that?
01:15:38Because it's true.
01:15:39Come on, Mom loved people, loved running things.
01:15:40It's not like you.
01:15:41You're not like a...
01:15:42people person, Dad.
01:15:43You should let it go.
01:15:44You should let it go.
01:15:45and move on.
01:15:46I should.
01:15:47Why would you say that?
01:15:49Yeah.
01:15:50How do you say it?
01:15:51I've never seen worse.
01:15:52You should admit it all.
01:15:53You could have yourself in a living room.
01:15:54But, come on, mom loved people, loved running things.
01:15:55And, come on, Dad?
01:15:57Yeah, dad.
01:15:58What?
01:15:59You should say to me like, family, mom.
01:16:00I feel like they're not a baby.
01:16:01Why did they not?
01:16:03You?
01:16:04What?
01:16:05running things it's not like you you're not like a people person dad you should let it go
