00:00:00...
00:00:10...
00:00:16...
00:00:20...
00:00:26Oh, my God.
00:00:56Leanne never asked to be born.
00:01:09She most certainly never asked to be born the first of three,
00:01:12and she definitely never asked for all the responsibility
00:01:15being the oldest in the Bradbury house would entail.
00:01:18You see, her father would come up with excuses
00:01:20to leave the house for hours at a time most days.
00:01:23And her mother, well, she was quite mysterious.
00:01:28She would spend all of her time in the basement,
00:01:30from which Leanne and her younger siblings, Jamie and Polly,
00:01:34would hear their mother chanting strange words
00:01:36and shuffling about through the floor.
00:01:38All this neglect left Leanne in charge of her siblings,
00:01:42which grew more and more tiresome to young Leanne.
00:01:45Then one day, on her 16th birthday,
00:01:48she decided to go to her best friend Olivia's house
00:01:50and escape her responsibilities for just this one night.
00:01:53When she arrived home the next morning,
00:01:56her mother informed her that her father had suddenly moved away.
00:02:00He was never seen or heard from again.
00:02:02The children's mother began to act increasingly more erratic.
00:02:06The townspeople whispered she was a witch and a madwoman.
00:02:10Then, in time, she too disappeared.
00:02:12Now left alone to care for Jamie and Polly,
00:02:16Leanne switched to night school and a day job
00:02:19in order to avoid any questions from her classmates,
00:02:22which might result in separation from her siblings.
00:02:26Leanne chose this sacrifice on her own
00:02:28and did not complain,
00:02:30but over time harbored a weight of mild subconscious resentment.
00:02:33Not that Leanne did not love her siblings very much,
00:02:45but how can you really enjoy the company of someone
00:02:47who's consuming your childhood?
00:02:50For one needs a childhood in order to discover,
00:02:52to find out who they are naturally.
00:02:55Without that,
00:02:56you must find the will to seek your identity later on,
00:02:59after life has told you its own twisted story,
00:03:02which is one of the most difficult tasks of all.
00:03:14Hello?
00:03:17Hello?
00:03:18Hello? Hello?
00:03:20Fuck, god damn it.
00:03:21Jamie?
00:03:22Hey, Leanne?
00:03:24Jamie is...
00:03:25Jamie, is that you? Are you okay?
00:03:27Yeah.
00:03:27Uh, is Leanne, is that you?
00:03:32Yeah, it's me. What is it? What's the matter? Are you all right?
00:03:35Um, well, Janet is gone. Janet left.
00:03:41What? What do you mean she's gone? Is she okay?
00:03:43She left me.
00:03:46Um, she didn't say goodbye or anything.
00:03:48And that's that, I think.
00:03:51Oh, well, how do you know she's gone?
00:03:54Because it's been three weeks.
00:03:56Oh.
00:04:00God.
00:04:00Yeah.
00:04:02I'm so sorry.
00:04:04Well, maybe she just needed a little time.
00:04:07Oh, yeah, do you think that that's what it is?
00:04:08That she just needs some time?
00:04:10No, I don't think, I don't think so.
00:04:11You know as well as I do that when people leave,
00:04:13they never come back.
00:04:15So, what I want to know is,
00:04:17what's wrong with me in this situation?
00:04:19Nothing, Jamie.
00:04:21Nothing is wrong with you.
00:04:23I'm pretty sure she met someone.
00:04:26I don't know that, but I do know that.
00:04:29And she's been telling me to grow up for the last three years,
00:04:32so maybe that's got something to do with it.
00:04:34I mean, do you think that's it?
00:04:37I don't know.
00:04:38My chest hurts so bad that I might be having a heart attack.
00:04:41I'm pretty sure I'm having a heart attack.
00:04:43So, I need you to come here now.
00:04:46I need you to come quick.
00:04:47Oh, Jamie.
00:04:48Don't do this alone, not in this house.
00:04:51Hon, it's really not the best time.
00:04:54Oh, please, Leanne, please.
00:05:00Also, I found a new box of moms in the basement.
00:05:03And you and Polly could come go through it
00:05:05and split that stuff up any way you can,
00:05:08because I won't be needing it.
00:05:09Wait, what?
00:05:10What do you mean a new box?
00:05:11How'd we miss that?
00:05:12Well, it was buried.
00:05:13It was buried in shit.
00:05:14Listen, Jamie, let me just think for a minute,
00:05:20and then I will call you right back, okay?
00:05:22Okay, think about it, and then come.
00:05:24Both of you, please.
00:05:25Please come.
00:05:26I need you so...
00:05:27I need you both.
00:05:29You know what it's like, right?
00:05:31Yes.
00:05:31Yeah.
00:05:32Okay.
00:05:33Okay, so come.
00:05:34Okay, it's gonna be okay.
00:05:37Yes, I think so, too.
00:05:38I think I have a very positive outlet on this situation.
00:05:41Okay, Jamie.
00:05:42I'll talk to you in a minute, okay?
00:05:43Okay, please come.
00:05:45Okay, goodbye.
00:05:45Okay, bye.
00:05:51God damn it.
00:05:52God damn it.
00:06:03I'm leaving you.
00:06:26Where are you going?
00:06:28Jamie's. Janet left him.
00:06:30Is he threatening suicide again?
00:06:32Maybe you should go through with it this time.
00:06:35Then she'll never leave.
00:06:36You can't say things like that. He's my brother.
00:06:40Why not send Polly? She's got nothing else to do.
00:06:43Well, Polly's not answering.
00:06:47Shocking.
00:06:49Okay, when are you coming back?
00:06:51I don't know. A couple days, maybe. I'll call.
00:06:55Alright, well, don't be surprised if I can't get to the phone.
00:06:58I've got a lot of stuff going on this week.
00:07:00What does that mean?
00:07:01That means I'm very busy, and I may miss your call.
00:07:05What about the kids?
00:07:07Jada can handle it.
00:07:09Jada is only 14.
00:07:11You did just fine at that age, didn't you?
00:07:13I'm going to see you later.
00:07:22Okay, well, take care of that before you go away.
00:07:25Kids, turn it up.
00:07:32Hey.
00:07:32So she finally did it. Good for her.
00:07:44Sucks for Jamie, though. What's he going to do without her?
00:07:46He doesn't know how to wash a dish.
00:07:48Maybe he should kill himself.
00:07:49Jesus, Polly, you can't say things like that. He's your brother.
00:07:53What? I can't take care of him. He's exhausting.
00:07:56Like a Tasmanian devil running through the house, leaving shit everywhere in his path.
00:08:00Crying about everything, switching hobbies daily.
00:08:04I mean, suicide really is for the best. I'm serious.
00:08:08Yeah, I know you're serious, and that's disturbing, but that has way more to do with you and your impatience than with him.
00:08:14You're thinking the same thing. You're just not saying it out loud.
00:08:18So are you coming or not?
00:08:21No, I got my own shit to worry about. He doesn't care if I'm there anyways. He just needs you.
00:08:26He's such a child that I'm not important because I'm not motherly.
00:08:30All men just want somebody to be their mom. It's not fucking me. I'm not a nurturer.
00:08:34Well, that's not entirely true. You can kind of be soft if you try to be.
00:08:40And besides, I don't know how you can forget. You guys were best friends when you were little.
00:08:44Only because we had to be.
00:08:45Freedom of choice doesn't really exist in that kind of environment.
00:08:49Aren't you a little curious what's in the box?
00:08:52Do you even actually believe there's a box, or do you think Jamie's just making it up because he's desperate,
00:08:57and then when we get there, he just magically loses it?
00:09:00He's not that clever.
00:09:03Besides, it's been way too long since we've been together, just the three of us. It might be kind of fun.
00:09:09Come on, Polly. They've been together four years. How would you feel?
00:09:15Fine, but I need you to pick me up on your way, and just don't tell him I'm coming, okay?
00:09:22Just in case I change my mind.
00:09:23So what happened to your car?
00:09:41That psycho Jethro took a power gel to me underneath, and now it's leaking fluid.
00:09:44What? Well, that's insane. What did you do to him?
00:09:50Nothing. I just broke up with him because he's a freaking raging alcoholic.
00:09:55God, why don't you just assume that it's my fault?
00:09:57I didn't. I don't assume it's your fault, but you do kind of have a tendency to make people nuts, and then you run away.
00:10:02It's kind of your pattern.
00:10:04Wait, didn't you two just get couples' photos together?
00:10:08Not really. He's an amateur model, and his friend's a photographer, so they just invited me.
00:10:12But they're still posted online.
00:10:15I mean, I look pretty good, I've got to admit.
00:10:18And before you even fucking say anything, he is not that hot, okay?
00:10:22My friends are still mourning my breakup, which I initiated, thank you very much, and which I have been fucking over.
00:10:29Makes me sick.
00:10:30If you cut off all his hair, he's just a six anyways.
00:10:33Wasn't he really big into church?
00:10:35He tells people he is, but he's much more into alcohol and looking at himself in a mirror.
00:10:40He calls me an abomination because I've slept with, like, one or two chicks.
00:10:44His best friend's a lesbian. He says she's going to hell all the time. He's just an angry monster.
00:10:49He has some major mommy-daddy issues.
00:10:51I guess that's why I thought we'd get along, but...
00:10:55If he tried to get me into bondage and shit, there's fucking something wrong with a guy like that.
00:10:59Oh, yikes.
00:11:00Well, you and Jamie can commiserate. You can go out bar-hopping together.
00:11:08I quit drinking. It makes me manic-depressive.
00:11:11And don't lump me in with Jamie, all right? We're not the freaking same.
00:11:15I choose to be single. Jamie's just unbearable.
00:11:19I do fine alone. I feel like I've been alone my entire life anyways.
00:11:23Okay, you haven't been alone your entire life, and Jamie is not unbearable.
00:11:27He's just complicated. He can be very sweet, thoughtful, and fun. He's very talented.
00:11:34None of that holds a freaking candle to all his flaws. I mean, don't be so in denial about how Jamie is.
00:11:40He's not your responsibility anymore. He's not your kid.
00:11:42I'm not in denial.
00:11:44And just because you have to call the cops on your boyfriends doesn't mean everyone else is terrible at picking relationships.
00:11:51And Jamie is not crazy. He has just had a hard life.
00:11:55We've all had a hard life. Now all we have are choices.
00:12:00Speaking of choices, how's Robert doing? Collecting enough guns for doomsday yet?
00:12:06Okay, let's just leave Robert out of this, can we please?
00:12:11I mean, just because you're single, you don't have to pick on me.
00:12:13I'm not jealous of your settling on the easy route of submission.
00:12:18What was that?
00:12:19You hit an armadillo.
00:12:21What? No.
00:12:23Yeah.
00:12:24No, I didn't even see it. Are you sure?
00:12:27Positive.
00:12:29Oh my God. I didn't see it. I didn't mean to.
00:12:33Who cares? It's just an armadillo.
00:12:34I swear to God, I didn't mean to.
00:12:37What was that?
00:12:37My check engine light just came on.
00:12:41Why?
00:12:42I don't know. I don't know why.
00:12:43What if that armadillo popped up and busted something?
00:12:45Just stop with the armadillo, okay? I feel terrible.
00:12:49Man, I'm not trying to be stuck at Jamie's house. This shit better not break down.
00:12:53It's not going to break down.
00:13:04Seriously? Just had to make it all the way here?
00:13:06Jamie?
00:13:12We're here.
00:13:22Jamie?
00:13:24Where are you?
00:13:26Jamie, you in there?
00:13:29Oh, thank God you're here.
00:13:32And now I don't have to do this alone.
00:13:34What's going on with the toilet?
00:13:36I murdered my bird, Fanny, and I tried to flush them down there, and now rainbow feathers keep coming up.
00:13:44Sick.
00:13:45It makes perfect sense, though.
00:13:47Dad, Mom, Janet, and now Fanny, everybody leaves me.
00:13:52Okay, that's not true.
00:13:53Jamie, we're here right now, and we love you.
00:13:56But you don't love me.
00:13:57You love your husband and those bullshit kids.
00:14:00Let's just take a deep breath.
00:14:02Here, take one of these.
00:14:03I'll be alone forever.
00:14:05Did you guys get into a really big fight or something?
00:14:07Of course we got into a big fight.
00:14:09That's all we do is fight.
00:14:11She thinks I'm lazy and immature, but she's meticulous.
00:14:15And she takes no responsibility for her faults.
00:14:17Well, she doesn't have any faults.
00:14:19But my friends thought she was a bitch.
00:14:21Your friends thought she was a bitch, or you told them she's a bitch, so that's what they thought.
00:14:25Let me finish.
00:14:26So, I wanted to have a child, and then she didn't think we were ready.
00:14:31No, you're not.
00:14:32And she didn't like me hanging out with Pete.
00:14:34Who's Pete?
00:14:35Pete's my friend.
00:14:36You remember Jerry?
00:14:37Jerry's roommate.
00:14:38Yeah, I remember Jerry.
00:14:39Yeah.
00:14:41Like, this right now?
00:14:43Like, this?
00:14:44What's going on right here?
00:14:45I know my body.
00:14:46So, if I tell you that it's time, like, you have to take me to the hospital.
00:14:50Jamie, I think you're being a little dramatic here.
00:14:52Sounds like you just have really bad anxiety.
00:14:54You probably just cut out the caffeine, smoke some weed.
00:14:57No.
00:14:58No, it feels like someone has literally torn into my chest and just ripped my heart out.
00:15:04Like an Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom.
00:15:06And why can't anyone just love me for me?
00:15:09Why can't any of us be loved?
00:15:11Okay, Polly, not a great time.
00:15:13I really think there's something wrong with us.
00:15:15There's nothing wrong with us.
00:15:18Listen, Jamie, this is how love is.
00:15:19For everybody.
00:15:20Everyone just pretends like it's great and it's perfect, but it's not.
00:15:26It's hard.
00:15:28And sometimes we think people are the best we can do when really they're not.
00:15:34Okay?
00:15:36Listen, why don't you lie down, take a little rest.
00:15:40Okay.
00:15:41Here's your blankie.
00:15:43Polly and I will go and we'll clean up the house.
00:15:46And then we can all have a nice family dinner.
00:15:49How's that sound, okay?
00:15:50Okay.
00:15:51Do you remember how to make the sauce?
00:15:53Yeah, I think I remember.
00:15:55Two cans of tomatoes.
00:15:56I got it, Jamie.
00:15:58I'm really glad you guys are here.
00:16:02And I feel strangely aroused right now.
00:16:05Okay, not appropriate.
00:16:06Okay.
00:16:06I'm really glad you guys are here.
00:16:36How weird is this?
00:16:50What?
00:16:52Everything's the same.
00:16:53It just has a layer of Jamie's junk on top.
00:16:56Yeah, it is kind of eerie.
00:17:00Oh, wow.
00:17:02What?
00:17:03Look how much you look like mom.
00:17:05Now what?
00:17:07I'm glad you guys have the same everything.
00:17:09I always thought she looked more like you and Jamie.
00:17:14Look at her.
00:17:15She radiated from within.
00:17:18What?
00:17:19Did you ever notice that?
00:17:21How her face is brighter than the rest of ours?
00:17:23It's like she's glowing.
00:17:26Yeah, well, I guess insanity allows for a certain glow.
00:17:28We're all insane in some ways, but we were driven insane.
00:17:34She just was from the get-go.
00:17:38Oh, wait.
00:17:38She's pregnant in this photo.
00:17:40That's the glow.
00:17:41Really?
00:17:41Yep.
00:17:43God, she'd be so disappointed in me.
00:17:50Why would you even say that?
00:17:52Same reason you are.
00:17:55I've gotten in tons of trouble.
00:17:57I'm not married.
00:17:58I don't have kids.
00:17:59I don't have any of my shit figured out yet.
00:18:04Neither mom or I was pregnant until we were in our 30s.
00:18:08And I'm not disappointed in you.
00:18:10And mom always loved what a free spirit you were.
00:18:14Maybe.
00:18:17God, it's so weird here.
00:18:19It feels like little kid asses are going to run by.
00:18:23Yeah.
00:18:25I kind of like it.
00:18:28Yeah, you also had more time and stability here.
00:18:32You have more good memories?
00:18:38What is that smell?
00:18:41There's that dead parrot.
00:18:42Ladies, you're looking at a new man.
00:18:52Yeah?
00:18:52Yeah.
00:18:53Good.
00:18:54I think all I really needed was a nice nap.
00:18:57Now I feel refreshed, rejuvenated.
00:19:00Things of that nature.
00:19:02Anyway, it's like my friend Pete used to say.
00:19:05It's not the who, what, where, why.
00:19:07It's just the rejection.
00:19:09Once you get past the rejection, that's the hardest part.
00:19:11You know, you can move on.
00:19:12Yeah, that sounds right.
00:19:13That's a good way to look at it, actually.
00:19:16And if Janet wants to go suck on some other guy's cock,
00:19:19that's her prerogative, not mine.
00:19:20Can you blame her?
00:19:21I'm not going to sit around here moping
00:19:23whenever my best sister Leanne is in town.
00:19:26And Polly.
00:19:27Hey, Jamie, what was in that box of moms you mentioned?
00:19:30Nick-nacks, patty wax, this necklace.
00:19:35Oh, wow.
00:19:37You mind if I keep it?
00:19:38No, you go ahead.
00:19:39You found the box.
00:19:40What about you, Polly?
00:19:41Do you mind if I keep the necklace?
00:19:43No, I don't give a shit.
00:19:45I don't want anything in that fucking box of moms.
00:19:47Well, if mom were here to hear you say that,
00:19:49she would probably be upset.
00:19:50Yeah, I agree with Jamie on this.
00:19:53Yeah, well, mom's not fucking here,
00:19:54so this is what I think of her feelings.
00:19:55Hey, Polly, do you remember how you used to sleepwalk
00:20:05and go out looking for cubby bear?
00:20:10Yeah.
00:20:12Who left that door open?
00:20:14Oh, I did.
00:20:15There was a terrible smell.
00:20:16Well, Liam, how are my nieces and nephew?
00:20:24They're fine, thank you for asking.
00:20:28Liam just got baptized.
00:20:30What?
00:20:31Yes.
00:20:34Mom would roll over in her grave.
00:20:36Mom's not dead.
00:20:37Well, Jamie, we don't know that for sure.
00:20:44Mm, and here's another hot take.
00:20:47Mom's not crazy.
00:20:48Well, you clearly are.
00:20:50Mm, no.
00:20:51No, what's crazy is you parading around town
00:20:55like you're an artist,
00:20:56when we all know you're not.
00:20:58You're a basic bitch.
00:20:59You're a selfish, basic bitch cunt.
00:21:01You can go fuck yourself.
00:21:03Polly, stop that.
00:21:04Why did I come here?
00:21:06James Alexander Bradbury,
00:21:08you sit down and you eat your spaghetti.
00:21:10Okay, but I'm not gonna make eye contact with that troll.
00:21:13Okay, I don't, uh,
00:21:15I don't understand why we can't just have a nice family dinner.
00:21:18I mean,
00:21:19Mom and Dad would want us to,
00:21:21if they were here, probably,
00:21:23to move on and to love each other and get along.
00:21:26And we should, right?
00:21:28I mean, this is it.
00:21:30This is what we've got.
00:21:31We've got each other.
00:21:32Well, I have my family.
00:21:33But you guys are my first family.
00:21:35And your best family.
00:21:36And, yes,
00:21:38we all went through something difficult.
00:21:41But,
00:21:41but if things hadn't happened exactly how they did,
00:21:45if I hadn't gotten to take care of you guys,
00:21:47then who knows what kind of mother I would be.
00:21:50And who knows where you guys would be.
00:21:52And nobody knows where Mom and Dad are, and really.
00:21:55Do you guys even really care where Dad is?
00:21:58He's probably dead in a ditch somewhere.
00:22:01That's probably true.
00:22:03But think about it.
00:22:05Weren't we lucky that things happened when they did?
00:22:09If someone had realized that we were alone,
00:22:12you two would have been put into foster care.
00:22:15We would have been separated.
00:22:18It was Mom.
00:22:20She was looking out for us.
00:22:21Oh, he's fucking cracked.
00:22:23Polly, please.
00:22:25No, no.
00:22:25I've been living here.
00:22:27I've been living with the memories.
00:22:29They're fresh.
00:22:31I think the demons Mom was seeing,
00:22:33I don't think they're demons at all.
00:22:35I think we let other people influence us into thinking that she was crazy,
00:22:40but she wasn't crazy.
00:22:41We're crazy.
00:22:43I really think we should get him committed for public safety.
00:22:46Well, I can see my company is not enjoyed here.
00:22:49I love you, Leanne.
00:22:52And I'll see you tomorrow morning.
00:22:54Good night.
00:22:55As for you, Polly, you'll die alone.
00:22:57Ditto.
00:23:02Well, I hope you are happy with yourself.
00:23:05I don't know why you made me come here.
00:23:35I don't know why you made me come here.
00:24:05I don't know why you made me come here.
00:24:07I don't know why you made me come here.
00:24:09I don't know why.
00:24:32I don't know.
00:24:33Oh, my God.
00:25:03Jesus.
00:25:04What you doing?
00:25:05Drinking some coffee.
00:25:08Hmm. It's a long, tall drink.
00:25:10Movement caught my eye.
00:25:12Mm-hmm.
00:25:14I don't blame you.
00:25:15Sean's pretty hot.
00:25:17Sean?
00:25:19Yeah, it's Sean Howell.
00:25:20He was a grade above me in high school.
00:25:23Just a grade.
00:25:25So what? What's age?
00:25:27I dated a 40-year-old.
00:25:28It felt like he was younger than me the whole time.
00:25:30Sounds like a solid choice, Polly.
00:25:33Hey, as long as he's over 18, he's fair game, as far as I see it.
00:25:39Unless you're married.
00:25:40If you're married trying to get down, it means you're a shit human.
00:25:44Well, I'm not a shit human.
00:25:45I just happened to look out the window and he ran by.
00:25:49I wasn't talking about you.
00:25:51Women are a totally different story.
00:25:53We deserve to cheat.
00:25:54All the shit we take.
00:25:59Hmm.
00:26:01He has a little brother.
00:26:02His name's Benny.
00:26:04He was always a smoke show.
00:26:06Probably still some good dick.
00:26:09I wonder if he still lives here.
00:26:10I'm happily married.
00:26:17I don't believe you.
00:26:23When you got pregnant, did your body tell you it was ready?
00:26:26What?
00:26:26Like, did your body say impregnate me to you?
00:26:30I woke up this morning feeling just, like, super fertile.
00:26:34Like, your body's just ready to lay eggs and spit out a puppy.
00:26:37Well, maybe, maybe you're psychic like mom's friend Edith used to say.
00:26:45Liam Bradbury?
00:26:47Olivia?
00:26:48Hey.
00:26:50How have you been?
00:26:52Oh, good, good.
00:26:54I'm great, actually.
00:26:56Oh, my God.
00:26:58What has it been?
00:26:5925 years?
00:27:00Yeah, I think so.
00:27:01Sophomore year.
00:27:03Yeah.
00:27:05I heard you finished in night school.
00:27:08I know that must have been hard.
00:27:10Oh, yeah.
00:27:11No.
00:27:11I survived.
00:27:14I really missed you.
00:27:15I mean, it just wasn't the same with Tracy and I.
00:27:20I mean, she was always the quiet one.
00:27:22Yeah.
00:27:24I missed you guys, too.
00:27:28So, uh, I mean, do you still live here?
00:27:33Do you live nearby?
00:27:35Yeah, I do.
00:27:37I went to O-Trip, and I got my associate's degree.
00:27:40And then I got married, and then I took a couple years off to have kids.
00:27:45And now I'm a hairstylist, if you can believe that.
00:27:48Oh, wow.
00:27:49I always thought you would go into science.
00:27:54So, so, who's your husband?
00:27:59Well, um, it's Ted Greer.
00:28:04Oh, well, it's great.
00:28:13Well, it was after you'd left school, and we hadn't heard from you in so long.
00:28:19You know, we just had each other.
00:28:22You know, Leigh-Anne, I always wanted to tell you how sorry I was about everything that went on.
00:28:34I mean, you got kind of distant when your dad left.
00:28:42But then with your mom, you just kind of disappeared from your friends, too.
00:28:49I mean, in a different way.
00:28:51You know, I saw her out.
00:28:53Oh, yeah.
00:28:54And she was...
00:28:54Oh, no, you don't...
00:28:55Please, you don't have to tell me.
00:28:58She was a sick woman.
00:29:00And it really is...
00:29:03I know it was hard.
00:29:06Especially with the whole town.
00:29:08Talking about...
00:29:08So, how's Ted?
00:29:12Oh, he's good.
00:29:14He's a coach now.
00:29:15Oh, coach.
00:29:20Neat.
00:29:21Hey, Leigh-Anne, we better get going if you're going to get that portrait done tonight.
00:29:25Portrait?
00:29:27Yep.
00:29:27Leigh-Anne's a painter now.
00:29:28She's got her own studio in the big city.
00:29:31Wow.
00:29:33Painting, that is so cool.
00:29:35I bet you're still right then, too.
00:29:37What makes you say that?
00:29:39Because you were always so good at it, of course.
00:29:44Yeah.
00:29:45Well...
00:29:49It was really good to see you.
00:29:52If you ever need a haircut or, you know, your makeup done, a change, something different...
00:30:00Well...
00:30:01I'll see ya.
00:30:11What the fuck was that?
00:30:12What the fuck was that?
00:30:13You had to make me a painter?
00:30:14Like, it's not cool enough for me to be a mom?
00:30:16Like, it's not valid to have a family?
00:30:18Um, no, it clearly wasn't valid enough for you because you didn't fucking tell her about
00:30:23that.
00:30:24And really, what the takeaway here is, what a fucking friend!
00:30:28Christ, she just found her window and went straight in for the kill!
00:30:33And then, what the fuck was that?
00:30:38And then, what the fuck was that?
00:30:40I mean, what do I do?
00:30:41I mean, what do I expect?
00:30:42I mean, what do I expect, really?
00:30:43Right?
00:30:44Decent human being shit.
00:30:45That's what you should expect.
00:30:47God, why'd she even have to bring up mom?
00:30:50I mean, like, she didn't fucking...
00:30:52Like, you didn't know she saw!
00:30:53Of course she saw!
00:30:54She fucking told everybody about it!
00:30:55God, people fucking suck!
00:30:56Everyone sucks!
00:30:57God, what a cunt!
00:30:59I don't even like saying that word, but fucking fake bitch cunt!
00:31:04God, and she could have married anybody!
00:31:07It doesn't matter.
00:31:10I got Robert.
00:31:12Yeah, but he fucking sucks.
00:31:14Okay, Polly, please, Polly, please!
00:31:16Can you just leave things alone sometimes?
00:31:19I just don't understand why you don't stick up for yourself anymore.
00:31:22I mean, you used to!
00:31:23I don't get it!
00:31:24I do, too!
00:31:26Okay, against me and Jamie, but not against her, not against Robert,
00:31:30not against the kids.
00:31:31I just don't understand what happened to you.
00:31:34Okay, just lay off me already!
00:31:36Alright, just lay off of me!
00:31:40I realized I forgot to give you my business card.
00:31:45See ya!

00:33:45in the eulogy oh for fanny yeah i don't know i i don't think there's any rules about it i think
00:33:53you just say whatever whatever respects to our brother fanny who though odious in nature played
00:34:00a pivotal role in this vast cosmic opera fanny i probably could have been a better caregiver
00:34:08could have fed you more gave you more affection but i had other things going on
00:34:14now you're gone that's the cross i have to bear
00:34:18do you have any words paulie
00:34:21um fanny you were a pretty cool bird if i was going to be reincarnated i'd hope it would be as a bird
00:34:29um i told you to say cocksucker once it's pretty cool uh you forgot how to do it after a while
00:34:37probably for the best um i guess that's probably my fault not yours

00:35:52Leanne?
00:35:53Yes.
00:35:55I'm Sean.
00:35:56Barney called me about your car.
00:35:58Oh, great, thank you.
00:35:59Thanks for coming.
00:36:01What's the problem?
00:36:02I hit an armadillo, my check engine light came on,
00:36:05and then it just died.
00:36:06An armadillo?
00:36:08It was an accident.
00:36:10Well, of course.
00:36:12Well, let me take a look.
00:36:18What happened?
00:36:20What?
00:36:21I broke my ankle.
00:36:23Thank you for asking.
00:36:25I'm broken too.
00:36:30Leanne Bradbury, right?
00:36:32Uh, Jacob's now.
00:36:34Didn't you used to live here?
00:36:37Yeah, I used to.
00:36:39Just visiting my brother.
00:36:42Oh, me too.
00:36:45That's where I'm staying down the street.
00:36:48I don't live here either.
00:36:50Where do you live?
00:36:53Nashville.
00:36:54Hopefully get back there soon.
00:36:56What's in Nashville?
00:36:58Well, I thought I had a record deal.
00:37:02Then the owner of the label went to prison for fraud.
00:37:06So, that was the end to all that.
00:37:09Came back, saved some money, and cool off if I try again.
00:37:13You're a musician.
00:37:14That's cool.
00:37:15If you want to call it that.
00:37:17I guess I'm just trying to fake it until I make it.
00:37:21What about you?
00:37:22What do you do?
00:37:23I'm a caregiver.
00:37:24I give care.
00:37:25I give care.
00:37:26So, what do you think about the engine?
00:37:28Do you think you can fix it?
00:37:30Actually, I don't know how to tell you this,
00:37:35but it looks like that little fella smashed up
00:37:38and ricocheted around so hard he broke a rod in your engine.
00:37:41No.
00:37:42Most likely needs to be replaced.
00:37:44No.
00:37:45I'm sorry.
00:37:46It's an expensive bust.
00:37:48Poor little guy must have banged around pretty hard under there.
00:37:52Look, I'm sorry.
00:37:55Don't cry.
00:37:56Don't cry.
00:37:57It's okay.
00:37:58Listen.
00:37:59I'm gonna call around.
00:38:01Maybe there's something sitting in the junkyard somewhere.
00:38:05When I find it, I'll bring it by, and I'll fix it.
00:38:08You can just owe me dinner or something.
00:38:10It's very kind of you, but it's not about the money.
00:38:13It's just...
00:38:15God damn it.
00:38:16That poor Armadillo.
00:38:18Come here.
00:38:19It's all right.
00:38:20It's all right.
00:38:21It's all right.
00:38:22It's all right.
00:38:27Can't imagine you ladies are gonna let me drink alone.
00:38:31Mm-hmm.
00:38:32Fine, but you guys better be sweet to me tomorrow when I'm really needy.
00:38:36Oh, wait.
00:38:37Let's toast.
00:38:38To...
00:38:40coming home.
00:38:41Hmm.
00:38:44It's so boring here.
00:38:45I don't know how you do it.
00:38:46It's a lot easier when I had a love in my life.
00:38:49Of course, I'm speaking of Janet, the great bitch.
00:38:52I wish everyone would shut the fuck up about love.
00:38:54It doesn't exist.
00:38:56Nobody says I love you to me anymore.
00:38:58I love you.
00:38:59Maybe you should learn how to say it first.
00:39:02Polly Bradbury, as I live and breathe.
00:39:05Hi, Benny.
00:39:07How's it going?
00:39:08Heard you were back.
00:39:09Yeah, unfortunately.
00:39:11Why are you back?
00:39:13I guess I'm just trying to relive my glory days.
00:39:16Oh, good.
00:39:17Off to a rollicking start.
00:39:18What is it?
00:39:19The meeting of the Teamsters?
00:39:20Hello again.
00:39:21Hi.
00:39:22I have a couple leads on that engine.
00:39:25Oh.
00:39:26I should hear something in the next couple days.
00:39:29Great.
00:39:30Hmm.
00:39:31Jamie, hit.
00:39:32Oh, yeah.
00:39:33Could I please?
00:39:34Oh, no.
00:39:36I'm not trying to smoke pot with a bunch of Philistines.
00:39:37So, no?
00:39:38I think it sucked for everybody.
00:39:56Now, you just tricked yourself into caring and then let your parents trick you into playing sports.
00:40:03You just had to not do that and then it would have been fun.
00:40:06What about you?
00:40:08No.
00:40:09I never felt like I fit in.
00:40:12I was a little emo and wrote poetry, so basically I was fucked.
00:40:17You?
00:40:18I was invisible.
00:40:20I also wrote poetry.
00:40:23And I had to drop out of school in the 10th grade.
00:40:26I think anybody with brains or personalities or artists just had a hard time.
00:40:32Because we're all fucking angry and we don't understand why until we find an outlet.
00:40:37And then it's just like...
00:40:39I think just artists feel that way.
00:40:43I'm sure mathematicians, politicians, inventors, lawyers all feel that resistance.
00:40:49Every human probably feels a calling.
00:40:51Some just don't choose to go toward it.
00:40:54Some find it harder and more painful not to go toward it.
00:40:59What do you feel called to do?
00:41:01Music.
00:41:02I always thought I'd do something in music.
00:41:06Maybe I could teach music.
00:41:08Maybe I'd produce music.
00:41:10I bet your music's really good.
00:41:12My life's guiding me in directions I don't even understand at the moment.
00:41:17What about you?
00:41:19Um...
00:41:22Nurture.
00:41:23Nurturer?
00:41:25No, you just don't remember what you like to do anymore.
00:41:28Hey Polly, what I want and what you want, two different things.
00:41:31I'll just say something else for conversation's sake.
00:41:34Okay, um...
00:41:37Writer.
00:41:38But every time I sit down to do it, I suck.
00:41:41Really?
00:41:42Yeah.
00:41:43Why don't you ever tell anybody about that?
00:41:45Cause he's the first person who's ever asked me.
00:41:50What about you, Jamie?
00:41:52Well...
00:41:54I've been thinking about getting into home brewing.
00:41:56You know, different styles.
00:41:59Amber ale, cream ale, black ale.
00:42:02Oh, like beer.
00:42:03Yeah.
00:42:04Like beer.
00:42:05Sick.
00:42:07The styles that no one wants to drink anymore.
00:42:10Why?
00:42:13Out of spite.
00:42:15Cause nothing matters.
00:42:17None of this matters.
00:42:18That's the smartest thing you've ever said.
00:42:20Well, then I've got one up on you.
00:42:23Hey, uh...
00:42:26Hey, what if we watched a movie?
00:42:27That's what we should do.
00:42:28Watch a movie.
00:42:29Yeah, 3.30 a.m.
00:42:30Let's start a fucking movie.
00:42:31Oh my God, just chill.
00:42:32There's no such thing as a bedtime.
00:42:34Bedtime is now.
00:42:35This is bedtime.
00:42:38Beautiful night.
00:42:43Jimmy, if you wanna go to bed, just go to bed.
00:42:46This is bedtime.
00:42:51Goodnight.
00:42:52I hope he has nice dreams.
00:42:53You like my picture, Mommy?
00:43:07It's so good, sweetie.
00:43:08Daddy's gonna love it so much.
00:43:22Morning.
00:43:23Morning.
00:43:24Morning.
00:43:25Morning.
00:43:26There's some more milk on the stove for you, just like you like it.
00:43:28Oh?
00:43:29My milk.
00:43:31Oh, honey.
00:43:32Today's the day we're putting in the new computer system and-
00:43:34God damn it!
00:43:36Honey, are you okay?
00:43:38I burnt my hand.
00:43:39Do you need some ice?
00:43:41No, I don't need any goddamn ice.
00:43:43Jack!
00:43:44I'm sorry that I yelled and-
00:43:50It's just that goddamn pan.
00:43:52Are you okay, Daddy?
00:43:53Yeah.
00:43:54Yes.
00:43:55I'm fine.
00:43:56I guess Daddy just needs a little rest.
00:44:01Rest.
00:44:06And to pee.
00:44:31Do you like my picture, Daddy?
00:44:32Oh.
00:44:33Let me look at it, sweetheart.
00:44:44God damn it!
00:44:46God damn it!
00:44:57We're having some trouble communicating.
00:45:02I think I got really high.
00:45:06Yeah, I think I might be too high.
00:45:10I'm really struggling to follow this movie.
00:45:14I didn't realize we smoked so much.
00:45:16I mean, I-
00:45:19I may be a lightweight, though.
00:45:21I don't get out much.
00:45:24Why not?
00:45:26I had a broken heart for a while.
00:45:27You're too young to let that stop you from living.
00:45:32No.
00:45:34No, it was my mom.
00:45:36She had cancer and died a few years ago.
00:45:39We were really close.
00:45:41Biddy and my dad were always closer.
00:45:45You know, and I was always more of a mama's boy.
00:45:48I am so sorry about me.
00:45:50No, don't be.
00:45:52No, it's fine.
00:45:53I mean, it happens to everybody at some point, right?
00:45:56Well, not me.
00:45:58I don't know whether my mom is alive or dead.
00:46:03Or where she is.
00:46:05God, I knew that.
00:46:07Shit.
00:46:08I'm sorry.
00:46:09It's so stupid of me.
00:46:10I'm sorry.
00:46:11It's okay.
00:46:12Don't worry.
00:46:13Don't call yourself stupid.
00:46:14We were having some trouble communicating recently.
00:46:17He claims it's stress.
00:46:18I'm a working man, Diane.
00:46:19I work hard.
00:46:21I work in computers.
00:46:23I've seen this a lot in my eight years of counseling experience.
00:46:26But, if we work together, we can figure this thing out.
00:46:29Ensure some happiness for you guys.
00:46:30Well, there is one more thing.
00:46:32Diane, don't.
00:46:33He has phobia.
00:46:34That's not relevant here, and it's not even true anyway.
00:46:36It's true.
00:46:37He's obsessed with these corgi dogs.
00:46:41Goddammit, Diane.
00:46:42Okay, let's just calm down.
00:46:45Go on about the corgis.
00:46:46He has trouble concentrating on his daily responsibilities.
00:46:49I don't think I have to sit here and listen to you two analyze my private thoughts.
00:46:57Obviously, there's nothing wrong with me.
00:46:59No one's trying to attack you here, Mr. Weatherford.
00:47:01We're just trying to understand so that we can help you.
00:47:04Well, I'm back.
00:47:05I want a divorce.
00:47:06What?
00:47:07Divorce may be a viable option in this situation.
00:47:09This is a very serious matter.
00:47:10We don't know how corgis can affect a marriage.
00:47:15No one knows.
00:47:16Diane, think about Poppy.
00:47:17Think about what you're doing here.
00:47:19Poppy is a corgi?
00:47:20No.
00:47:21Poppy's our daughter.
00:47:24My God.
00:47:25You mother fucker.
00:47:26I'm gonna tell you.
00:47:27Dad, stop.
00:47:28Do you wanna know what you're doing to this family?
00:47:29We're in love.
00:47:31Can I ask you something?
00:47:33That may seem a little intrusive.
00:47:38Sure.
00:47:40What's your husband like?
00:47:41He's a good guy.
00:47:47He works really hard.
00:47:52He teaches government.
00:47:54He's sort of old fashioned.
00:47:57Really?
00:47:58Yeah.
00:48:00Weird.
00:48:01I'd expect you to be with like a painter or an architect or something like that.
00:48:06Why?
00:48:07You're just so fascinating.
00:48:10And you seem sort of spiritual in a bright kind of way.
00:48:16And I'm rambling.
00:48:22I'm sorry.
00:48:24I'm so stupid.
00:48:26Don't ever call yourself stupid.
00:48:28You're welcome.
00:48:29You're welcome.
00:48:35Oh hi, Poppy.
00:48:39I want you to understand that this doesn't mean that we're not gonna see each other anymore, okay?
00:48:46Your mom and I are gonna figure it out.
00:48:48And every other weekend or something like that, we'll get together.
00:48:52Is this because of the picture I drew?
00:48:58Yes.
00:48:59Yes, it is.
00:49:00I'm sorry, honey.
00:49:01But why don't you like Gorgies?
00:49:04It's not that I...
00:49:06Well...
00:49:08It's...
00:49:10I can't do this anymore.
00:49:12I'm so sorry.
00:49:13I love you.
00:49:16Jack.
00:49:18I don't want this.
00:49:19I don't want to fight anymore.
00:49:21Can't we just come back to normal before those goddamn Gorgies?
00:49:24Gorgies.
00:49:35What's wrong, honey?
00:49:36Did you have another nightmare?
00:49:40They're everywhere.
00:49:42I can't get those goddamn things off my mind.
00:49:45Have you thought about the surgery?
00:49:48You mean that surgery where they rip out your brain and replace it with the brain of a goddamn Corgi?
00:49:54No, thanks.
00:49:56Beverly's husband Mike did it and they have been happy ever since.
00:49:59Mike?
00:50:01How would I get my computer work done?
00:50:04That is just it.
00:50:05You care more about your computers than you do your family.
00:50:08Diane, you know that's not true.
00:50:13Look, if I did get the surgery, I wonder if it just changed everything.
00:50:20Jack, we're in need of a change, don't you think?
00:50:26Do it for Poppy.
00:50:29Goddammit, Diane.
00:50:31I think this is exactly what they want.
00:50:34I think those goddamn Corgies are trying to ruin our lives.
00:50:37And I think that's why you should go through with the surgery, Jack.
00:50:41It's time.
00:50:42I guess I just accepted that I would never find anything better.
00:50:55I mean, it's not like I didn't care.
00:50:57I mean, I cared.
00:51:00But I was so young.
00:51:02And I always made the right choice, you know.
00:51:06But years go by and then one day you wake up and you realize you're living with a stranger.
00:51:13Who knows, maybe I'm a stranger.
00:51:43That's a good boy.
00:51:49That's a good boy.
00:52:00Good boy.
00:52:02What you thinking?
00:52:04Computers?
00:52:06Yeah.
00:52:08Such a good boy.
00:52:10You know, dogs are the only thing on earth that love you more than he loves himself.
00:52:16Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:52:18Every dog has its day.
00:52:19Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

00:55:37What are you still doing up?
00:55:47Can't sleep.
00:55:49Yeah, me too.
00:55:50I had a weird dream.
00:55:57Do you remember the time
00:55:58when we were at the bus stop
00:56:00and those neighborhood kids came
00:56:04and they ran over my dog
00:56:07and then I carried him to dad
00:56:11and dad threw him in the trash can
00:56:16and told me to get
00:56:20to get back on the bus?
00:56:23Yeah, I remember that.
00:56:30I'm sorry that happened to you, Jamie.
00:56:35I'm used to it.
00:56:39I've always been used to it.
00:56:40Why don't you get a little sleep, okay?
00:56:46Okay.
00:57:16Polly?
00:57:22Polly?
00:57:31Polly?
00:57:41Polly.
00:57:43Polly, Polly, Polly, Polly, Polly, are you okay?
00:57:50Wake up, honey.
00:57:52Come on, wake up.
00:57:55Come on, what the heck are you doing out here?
00:58:13Come on.
00:58:38Good morning.
00:58:52How are you feeling?
00:58:56Guess what you did last night.
00:58:59You pulled the cubby bear.
00:59:02Yeah, uh-huh.
00:59:03I looked out the window, and you were lying spready.
00:59:06Go in the backyard.
00:59:07Are you serious?
00:59:09It's weird, right?
00:59:11I haven't done that in years.
00:59:12I've been waiting for you to wake up so we can go through this box together.
00:59:17Okay.
00:59:25Who's this?
00:59:28No idea.
00:59:30I'm gonna keep it.
00:59:32Well, this is a journal of moms.
00:59:34It starts before Dad left.
00:59:37Oh, there's a page ripped out.
00:59:41Oh, we can fix that.
00:59:42Go get me a pencil.
00:59:44Why?
00:59:45So I can, you know, do the thing so we can see the words.
00:59:48Why?
00:59:50Well, so we can see what's in there.
00:59:51Don't you want to know what she wrote?
00:59:53No.
00:59:54Why not?
00:59:55Leigh Ann.
00:59:56She was insane.
01:00:00Do you know how much therapy and analysis I've had to go through to get this fucking far?
01:00:06And I'm still a goddamn mess.
01:00:08No one will want to fucking know what she has to say.
01:00:11That might mess me up worse.
01:00:12Maybe there are some answers in here, like, like why she left, where she was going to go, what was going on in her head.
01:00:23I mean, even if it is all cuckoo, gibberish, at least it is some kind of an answer.
01:00:28And it means something.
01:00:32It does to me.
01:00:33Okay, that's fine for you, but she never locked you in a closet with Jamie for a day and a half while I went to a fucking sleepover.
01:00:39Oh, well, I am so sorry that I took one night to be a teenager.
01:00:44I mean, Jesus Christ, Polly.
01:00:47How can you be so selfish?
01:00:49Do you have any idea what it was like to basically become a parent at the age of 16?
01:00:59I dropped out of high school.
01:01:02I lost all my friends.
01:01:03I lost my boyfriends.
01:01:04I had to deal with all the gossip in this small fucking town.
01:01:09And you were sheltered from all of that because you were so little.
01:01:12And I was the one who sheltered you.
01:01:15But I had to take the brunt of it.
01:01:19And I'm still dealing with it.
01:01:21And it sucks.
01:01:22So I am so sorry that you had to spend a day in the closet holding your brother's hand
01:01:27while I was doing everything I could to keep our family together.
01:01:32I mean, really?
01:01:34Can you even imagine that?
01:01:39No, I can't imagine what that's like.
01:01:42I'm sorry.
01:01:44I just don't know if I'm ready to deal with seeing what her headspace was like.
01:01:49Don't be sorry.
01:01:50Just please, just try to understand.
01:01:55You're not the only one who is hurt by this, who's dealing with this, who's still trying to clean up the mess.
01:02:02I mean, I just try not to make it all about you.
01:02:09Will you please just give me a pencil?
01:02:39Is that a poem?
01:02:51I think so.
01:02:53All the hurt has left me now.
01:02:57A hollow shell, that big fat cow.
01:03:01Really.
01:03:03My heart's ripped out, frozen and hard.
01:03:07I buried it next to you in our backyard.
01:03:11The spot was measured.
01:03:13It wasn't bad.
01:03:15My vengeance pleasured.
01:03:17No one was sad.
01:03:19Our faithful son is keeping guard of our family's secrets in the yard.
01:03:25What in the hell does she mean, she buried it next to him in the yard?
01:03:29I don't know, but I really feel like she's ripping off somebody right there.
01:03:33You suppose it's a metaphor?
01:03:37...
01:03:39...
01:03:41...
01:03:43...
01:03:47...
01:03:49...
01:03:51...
01:03:55Do you think dad's down there?
01:04:13I don't know.
01:04:16Spots measured.
01:04:18I don't know.
01:04:19What do you mean you don't know?
01:04:20Please say something else.
01:04:22I don't know.
01:04:22I don't know what he want me to say.
01:04:23What do you think?
01:04:24Yes, please.
01:04:25I don't know what I think.
01:04:26Just give me a second.
01:04:30So mom killed dad, buried him in the yard, drove her fucking crazy.
01:04:35That's why she left.
01:04:36And he's actually just been here this whole fucking time.
01:04:38Okay, okay, okay, okay.
01:04:39Let's just think about this logically, okay?
01:04:42Mama's nuts.
01:04:43And even if she did kill dad, do you think that she had the strength to take him out here
01:04:47to drag his body out and dig a hole and throw him in it?
01:04:50I mean, she was tiny.
01:04:52I can't imagine doing that.
01:04:54Can you imagine doing that?
01:04:57Irregardless of that, what are we going to do about it?
01:05:01I mean, clearly the cops aren't looking for him.
01:05:03If they ever were, we didn't know about it.
01:05:05So what do you want to do, Polly?
01:05:06Do you want to dig and dig until we find something?
01:05:09I mean, think about it.
01:05:11Polly, do you really want to see your dead dad covered in dirt?
01:05:15I mean, if mom killed dad, and he's been out here all these years, maybe we should just
01:05:27let him rest in peace.
01:05:28I'm going to dig him up.
01:05:33Let's make Jamie do it.
01:05:56I mean, I'm pretty okay with this.
01:06:01Oh, fuck.
01:06:07Should we have a party?
01:06:08I mean, the only place I know to check is Jerry and Pete's.
01:06:16Unless he slit his wrist somewhere.
01:06:26Hi, Jerry.
01:06:31How have you been?
01:06:34Pretty good.
01:06:35Thinking about having a baby.
01:06:38Or getting a rabbit.
01:06:39Rabbit.
01:06:41Rabbits are cool.
01:06:42Wow, rabbits.
01:06:45Um, is Jamie here or Pete?
01:06:55I haven't seen Jamie in a while, but Pete's here.
01:06:58He's in his room.
01:07:00Oh, do you mind if we...
01:07:03No, not at all.
01:07:12Come in.
01:07:19Well, hello.
01:07:21Hi.
01:07:22Uh, we're Jamie's sisters.
01:07:26I know.
01:07:27I've heard all about you both.
01:07:29I'm pretty sure he missed the details on you.
01:07:31Well, I figured I'd be taller.
01:07:33Classic James.
01:07:35Exactly.
01:07:35No, not exactly.
01:07:37Well, let me explain.
01:07:38As you probably know, my dad and James have been friends for a long time.
01:07:44About six or seven years ago, we started having a real-time bond.
01:07:47We realized we had the same interests.
01:07:49We both liked philosophy, video games, jelly beans.
01:07:54So, eventually, over time, he started coming over here for me instead of my dad.
01:07:59Yeah, my dad and James are still friends superficially, but we have a more spiritual bond.
01:08:07Oh.
01:08:08That makes total sense.
01:08:10Have you seen Jamie today?
01:08:12I spoke to him last Wednesday.
01:08:14He asked if I could come over and bring a bottle of Yoo-Hoo and an extra controller, but I was busy.
01:08:20And I don't have a car yet.
01:08:22I've been trying to get through to him.
01:08:26He is really upset.
01:08:28I've talked to him about therapy and stuff, but he just puts a wall up on everything.
01:08:33Doesn't respond.
01:08:35Does he seem all right to you?
01:08:37What's the normal grading scale?
01:08:40He just, he left this morning, and he didn't say where he was going, and he didn't take his car.
01:08:46Can I ask you a question?
01:08:48In hopes that you won't relate to James?
01:08:51Sure.
01:08:52Have you heard from Janet?
01:09:03No, no, not at all.
01:09:05Do you know about Janet and-
01:09:08Yes, and frankly, that's what I'm worried about.
01:09:12I sort of may have made a joke online about how I like Janet, because I do.
01:09:19And I've been worried ever since about her.
01:09:20She just disappeared, and I don't know if it was because of me or what, but I haven't heard from Janet in weeks.
01:09:29If you find her, can you tell her to call me so I know everything's all right?
01:09:35Yeah, sure.
01:09:36And please, don't tell James. It was a stupid joke, and I shouldn't have done it.
01:09:43Yeah.
01:09:44Well, great. Everything he's said about you two is true. Do you want to play games together?
01:09:56Pass.
01:09:56Oh, yeah. Sorry. We should probably be going.
01:10:00Well, say hi to James for me, and I'll look out for his gamertag.
01:10:05Will do.
01:10:07Yep.
01:10:09Adios.
01:10:10It's always a fucking cemetery.
01:10:20There he is, fucking weirdo. Oh, my God.
01:10:26What a fucking weirdo.
01:10:30He's adopted.
01:10:31Jamie, where have you been? We have been looking for you everywhere. What are you doing here?
01:10:38Well, I tried to kill myself, and then I thought, maybe not.
01:10:47What did you do to your wrists?
01:10:49You don't want to know.
01:10:52Nothing. He did nothing to his wrists.
01:10:54All right, shut the fuck up. Now's not the time, all right?
01:10:57Jamie, why do you want to die?
01:11:00I think it's because I hate myself.
01:11:03Why? You're so wonderful.
01:11:05Well, that's really nice coming from you, considering you're practically my mother.
01:11:11But time has proven that nobody loves me.
01:11:14That's not true. Everybody loves you. We love you. Pete loves you.
01:11:18Okay, fuck Pete, first of all. I hate him.
01:11:21Jamie, sometimes in order to feel love, you have to be able to give love to others.
01:11:29That's not true. That's not true.
01:11:32I've given Polly all kinds of love through the years, and she still hates me.
01:11:35Just for an example.
01:11:37You haven't given me shit.
01:11:39I don't know why you're even indulging him.
01:11:42You're just fucking faking so he can get some fucking attention.
01:11:45You need to grow up.
01:11:46Oh, my God. None of us know how to take care of ourselves.
01:11:50Well, that's probably because I never taught you.
01:11:53That's not true.
01:11:55He taught us a lot.
01:11:57He taught us to wipe from front to back, and that's came in really handy for me, but I can't speak for Polly.
01:12:03Well, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to both of you for basically every choice I've ever made in my entire life, which has been a complete failure.
01:12:15I'm glad that amuses you.
01:12:17I don't have any joy left.
01:12:20Maybe I'll kill myself.
01:12:22Let's all kill ourselves together.
01:12:24Well, you know, you don't have to choose anything.
01:12:26You don't have to choose one way or the other.
01:12:28You just got to find someone, like a special someone.
01:12:31For instance, I found someone, and then she left me.
01:12:33Yeah, look how that worked out.
01:12:35Yeah.
01:12:35Let's not choose any fucking one.
01:12:38Yeah, maybe we should just choose nobody.
01:12:40Hey, did something happen to your place?
01:12:46Hey, Leanne.
01:12:47Sean Howell.
01:12:48So, you're not going to believe it, but I found a used engine that I can replace yours with.
01:12:53It's crazy I found one so fast.
01:12:55Anyways, I'm going to pick it up now.
01:12:57Are you busy tonight?
01:12:58Maybe we could do that dinner payment we talked about.
01:13:02If that's still something, that's okay with you.
01:13:04If not, it's okay.
01:13:06Benny, I know, wants to apologize to Polly for throwing up in her room.
01:13:11Well, give me a call back.
01:13:14If it's something you'd still be interested in.
01:13:17Bye.
01:13:18This looks amazing.
01:13:19Yeah, man.
01:13:20You really went all out, Leanne.
01:13:21You look great, too.
01:13:23Did you do something different?
01:13:23What's going on?
01:13:25Me?
01:13:25Yeah.
01:13:26Maybe a little.
01:13:27You do look great, Leanne.
01:13:30And you know what would make you look even greater?
01:13:32It's mom's necklace.
01:13:34I'd like to give it to you.
01:13:36Thank you, Jamie.
01:13:38Mm-hmm.
01:13:39There's more than one sweetheart in this house.
01:13:42The Howell Brothers.
01:13:43More like the Owl Brothers.
01:13:45Because you'd stay up all damn night.
01:13:47So, how are you today?
01:13:49I'm doing fine, thank you.
01:13:50It was really nice speaking with you last night.
01:13:52Yeah, that was fun.
01:13:53I had a really good time.
01:13:54This is really good to finally have all that car business taken care of, too.
01:13:57Yes, thank you.
01:13:59Again, I appreciate it.
01:14:00You're feeling better, I see.
01:14:02Yeah, yeah.
01:14:03You know, water and regular sleep.
01:14:06Good break.
01:14:08Maybe we should finish that movie later.
01:14:09That's a really good idea.
01:14:12Corgi Stu, anyone?
01:14:14Hey, um...
01:14:16I don't know how to bring this up or talk about it, really.
01:14:21It's none of my business, but...
01:14:24Jamie?
01:14:25Why were you in Polly's room last night?
01:14:31The hell?
01:14:32You were in Polly's room last night.
01:14:34I saw you.
01:14:35I was looking around for something.
01:14:37And, um...
01:14:38I looked up and I saw that there was someone there.
01:14:41And then I looked up further and I saw that outline of a penis against some briefs.
01:14:46Looked up from there and I saw your face.
01:14:49It was you.
01:14:50Whatever.
01:14:50I don't know.
01:14:51I just...
01:14:51Do you...
01:14:52What were you doing in there?
01:14:54What are you...
01:14:55What are you talking about?
01:14:56I don't go into Polly's room.
01:14:57I told you you were drunk and not to bring it up.
01:15:00I know.
01:15:01Look, I was a little drunk, but I wasn't that drunk.
01:15:03I don't really get that drunk.
01:15:05I wasn't blacked out or anything.
01:15:07He's a liar.
01:15:08I feel like I don't remember...
01:15:08I'm sorry, my brother.
01:15:09It's kind of stupid sometimes.
01:15:12Benny, it sounds like maybe you have a bit of a problem.
01:15:16You know, Polly's got some experience with substance abuse.
01:15:19You should maybe talk to her.
01:15:21Yeah, you might also want to get some psychoanalysis on why you're thinking about my brother's junk all night.
01:15:25I wasn't thinking about your brother's junk all night.
01:15:27Well, actually, I was.
01:15:28But I'm telling you, this is a real...
01:15:32Yeah.
01:15:33Yeah, I was pretty drunk last night, too.
01:15:35Somehow, I'm really sorry about that.
01:15:37Oh.
01:15:38Are you okay?
01:15:39Yeah.
01:15:41No, I just have a terrible headache.
01:15:43I ran out of my medicine.
01:15:46I think it's...
01:15:47That's...
01:15:48Children.
01:15:55Mom?
01:15:56Bert!
01:15:57Well, this is really exciting.
01:15:59What the shit?
01:16:00What happened to Sean and Benny?
01:16:02Leanne, what's going on?
01:16:03I don't know.
01:16:05Mom?
01:16:06How are you here?
01:16:08Hey.
01:16:08Doesn't matter.
01:16:09Just listen up.
01:16:09She's here to take care of us.
01:16:10Go ahead, Mom.
01:16:11She can't take care of us.
01:16:12She's mad.
01:16:13Oh, I'm not mad.
01:16:14I love you, dear.
01:16:15I'm here again.
01:16:16You know, for you.
01:16:18I was stuck in this house, but Jamie let me in.
01:16:22He was always the most loyal.
01:16:24It's not your turn, Frank!
01:16:27Dad?
01:16:28This isn't real.
01:16:29What did you...
01:16:30What did you do to him?
01:16:33He just wanted to see you, so I'm letting him.
01:16:36Don't be afraid of him.
01:16:38You killed Dad.
01:16:40Why would you think that?
01:16:41I don't know, but we saw the thing out in the...
01:16:44Look at him.
01:16:45He's dead.
01:16:46He's always been rotten.
01:16:47Fuck it.
01:16:48God, I'm sick.
01:16:49And he thought I wouldn't notice.
01:16:51Let this be a lesson, too.
01:16:53Always follow your intuition.
01:16:56These boys, they're fun for some things, but in the end, they're not worth the sacrifice
01:17:01and pain.
01:17:02Never trust a man.
01:17:05Like, not all men, right?
01:17:07You knew about all this?
01:17:09Nimi?
01:17:11Why did you leave us, Mom?
01:17:13I wasn't good at being a mother back then.
01:17:15When things went south with your dad, I remembered everything that I was missing.
01:17:19So, I went after my desires, and I met someone at my lowest.
01:17:24Was his name Pete?
01:17:25No.
01:17:26Men are just a waste of time.
01:17:29Like this one.
01:17:31Let him speak.
01:17:32Fine.
01:17:33But you know the drill, Frank.
01:17:36Dad, you have the floor.
01:17:38Hey, kids.
01:17:39You all look swell.
01:17:41Real swell.
01:17:43Look, I fucked up real bad.
01:17:46But sometimes you get to thinking you want to upgrade, you know?
01:17:49Sometimes you want something different because you're bored.
01:17:52But I realized too late that true love gets better with age.
01:17:57It's important to think the big decisions all the way through to the consequences.
01:18:06Jesus Christ, Frank.
01:18:09Let's grow a step.
01:18:09I should have never done that to my family.
01:18:14I deserved everything I got.
01:18:18Your mother was right.
01:18:23And I want to tell you all.
01:18:26I'm sorry.
01:18:28And I'm very proud of all of you.
01:18:30Oh, hell.
01:18:36Why not?
01:18:37Sisters?
01:18:43Janet?
01:18:44What I want to know is how I got dragged into all this.
01:18:47Mother, if I would.
01:18:48If you may.
01:18:49You see, James' mother is top tier, you know.
01:18:52And Jamie thought you were acting very suspicious.
01:18:54Around 12-year-old Pete?
01:18:56Really?
01:18:56He's the one.
01:18:57And as misguided as he may be.
01:18:59Jesus Christ.
01:19:00And against this love, God.
01:19:01Although she never liked you, let's all be clear about that.
01:19:04You were never approved.
01:19:06Never approved!
01:19:07This one hit you over the head one night.
01:19:09Bashed your skull and ya.
01:19:11Well, he didn't really have a plan, so he'd preach your mother.
01:19:14She answered.
01:19:15Said she could help him dispose of you if he did something for her in return.
01:19:19So after weighing his options for a moment, that's what happened.
01:19:22What the hell?
01:19:23I'm dead because of that?
01:19:24All I did was give that kid juice and goldfish.
01:19:27Well, I'm sure it was much worse.
01:19:29I'm sure you opened that package like a real slut.
01:19:32It's not about what you do.
01:19:33It's about how you do it.
01:19:35Yeah, that's true.
01:19:36You did.
01:19:37Pete told me.
01:19:38But, in Janet's defense, you were never able to get over her acne problem.
01:19:42You're clinically insane.
01:19:44You're clinically stupid.
01:19:45All of you are insane.
01:19:47Oh, I hate that word.
01:19:49You're just gaslighting us.
01:19:50But that's not gaslighting.
01:19:51You're gaslighting us!
01:19:53Through all this time, you were never nice to me, even though I was just a placeholder to you.
01:19:57You didn't have to go and waste all my time and then take my life.
01:20:00You could have left me as happy as you found me if you weren't so selfish.
01:20:05You know, I was doing pretty good before you found me and knocked me down.
01:20:09You're gonna rot in hell for this.
01:20:12You of all people should know, Janet.
01:20:14There is no hell.
01:20:17No.
01:20:19Thank you, Mom.
01:20:20That was harsh.
01:20:22Why are you doing this to us?
01:20:23Doing what?
01:20:24You can't just come back now after all these years and act like nothing happened.
01:20:28You mean you can't forgive me?
01:20:29I mean, we're family.
01:20:30No!
01:20:31I'm your mother.
01:20:32Yeah, well, you're not the mother you should have been.
01:20:34Well, I'm the best mother I can be.
01:20:36I, well, you're not the one but I can even be.
01:20:56It's a cat-potated.
01:21:11That's rough.
01:21:14You ever guess what caused them to collide?
01:21:18A dead armadillo.
01:21:21Huh.
01:21:25Wow.
01:21:26It just gets weirder and weirder, doesn't it?
01:21:35When you get two men driving home, one of them hits a dead armadillo, they both end up decapitated.
01:21:44One of them had a full tank of gas, too.
01:21:47It's Ted Greer.
01:21:48We got shit over here.
01:21:49Tons of it.
01:21:52The family's here.
01:21:53I guess I better go get this over with.
01:22:02Looks like you were shit out of luck.
01:22:14I love you.
01:22:23So many of them are.
01:22:25I'm really sad.
01:22:26I'm really sad.
01:22:33I'm really sad.
01:23:04Well, goodbye forever.
01:23:22You are so weird.
01:23:23Come here.
01:23:25I love you both.
01:23:26Be gentle with yourselves.
01:23:30Well, the news of the day is that I've gotten over Janet,
01:23:33and I plan to leave this home.
01:23:35Where are you going?
01:23:37I don't know.
01:23:39But I know I'm leaving this house.
01:23:41And I know I'm leaving this house to one of you.
01:23:44Holly, being the biggest disappointment in the family,
01:23:46could probably use it more than any of us.
01:23:48So the offer is extended to you.
01:23:53Hard no.
01:23:54Always a disappointment.
01:23:56Leanne, what about you?
01:23:58Uh, I hadn't really thought about living here.
01:24:00It's a yes or no question.
01:24:03Uh, give me a bit to think about it.
01:24:06Offers off the table in five, four, three, two.
01:24:09Okay, I'll take it.
01:24:11You'd probably be more in your element here, Elise.
01:24:14Well, on the road again.
01:24:17As Willie Nelson once said.
01:24:19Willie Nelson also said something about an angel flying too close to the ground.
01:24:24And I imagine there's something in there about you, Leanne.
01:24:30See you later.
01:24:31It must be those Generation Blues
01:24:44It must be those Generation Blues
01:24:52It must be those Generation Blues
01:24:59It must be those Generation Blues
01:25:08This is the age of education
01:25:21Radical views, pathetic integration
01:25:30Well, I don't want to blow your mind
01:25:39So I'm gonna give it to you one more time
01:25:46Yeah
01:25:48Well, we ain't got nothing to borrow, baby
01:25:52So what the hell are we supposed to do?
01:26:03Well, no, we ain't got nothing to borrow, baby
01:26:08It must be those Generation Blues
01:26:16It must be those Generation Blues
01:26:20It must be those Generation Blues
01:26:24There must be those Generation Blues
01:26:29It must be those Generation Blues
01:26:33It must be those Generation Blues
01:26:39This is the age of medication
01:26:53This is the age of medication
01:26:55A million youth for the blank generation
01:27:01Well, I don't want to blow your mind
01:27:09Well, I don't want to blow your mind
01:27:11Well, I don't want to blow your mind
01:27:13So I'll be moving on down the line
01:27:19Well, we ain't got nothing to borrow, baby
01:27:25So what the hell are we supposed to do?
01:27:36Well, no, we ain't got nothing to borrow
