00:00Hey, let's go then.
00:04Are you packed?
00:07Don't forget the dog, honey.
00:11Michael?
00:13Don't forget the dog, honey.
00:16How are you feeling?
00:23He's not in the car, is he?
00:25Why is he talking about a dog? What dog?
00:27We had a dog in Boulder.
00:36What is this?
00:37We're in the hospital.
00:39You're sick, remember?
00:41But you're going to be just fine.
00:43Rita, lying to him doesn't help anybody but you.
00:51Stop it.
00:53No, it's okay to let go.
00:56I gotta beat it.
00:59But maybe you can.
01:00You don't have to.
01:04Why would you say that?
01:07I don't want you to be scared.
01:12I don't want to die.
01:16I'm not gonna die.
01:20It's just your body.
01:21It's not you.
01:23It's bullshit. I leave.
01:28Excuse me.
01:31Here you go.
01:31We're going to increase your morphine, all right, Mr. Piper?
01:48Do you see?
01:51Rita.
01:53Above his head.
01:55The light.
01:57Oh, he's a good boy.
01:59He's a good boy.
02:00He's a good boy.
02:01Oh, look.
02:25You better hurry up.
02:26We've got Mrs. Piper at 8.30.
02:28Yeah, I'll be right there.
02:31What you doing, Dave?
02:32Downloading some pics from Mansluts.com?
02:35Living with AVM.
02:37Great, Dave.
02:38Thanks.
02:39I just thought we should have all the information.
02:41Well, I have all the information.
02:42I don't think you do.
02:43If you don't get this treated, you could have seizures with muscular twitching, loss of verbal skills.
02:48You could even have some kind of hemorrhage at some point.
02:50Or I could be in the wrong airplane at some point.
02:52Or so could you.
02:54All right, come on.
03:03The parliament.
03:04It's very elegant.
03:06Yes.
03:07I like it.
03:09But Michael thinks it's tacky.
03:20That's the Cleveland.
03:22It's a more affordable choice.
03:24But as you can see, it's not quite as gracious.
03:27Really?
03:27No, but it's just so sort of self-effacing.
03:33But why?
03:35Mrs. Piper?
03:36I'm sorry.
03:37Can you excuse me for a moment?
03:38I can't carry on to conversations at once.
03:41It's exactly like that horrible Ikea couch your mother bought us.
03:50Michael claims to love this one.
03:52In my opinion, he's just trying to do what he thinks his mother wants, which is typical, really.
03:57Fine.
03:59Deny it.
03:59Why change now?
04:02Would you like to sit down for a minute?
04:04Oh, I'm fine.
04:05It's just Michael's here.
04:06He didn't want to deal with any of this stuff when he was alive.
04:09You know, the funeral.
04:11Now he's very opinionated.
04:14Oh.
04:16I'm a psychic, so you know.
04:19Wow.
04:19That must be very interesting for you.
04:22It's just more information.
04:30This room has a lot of pain in it.
04:33Well...
04:34Yes.
04:37You have a lot in your mind.
04:39On your mind, I mean.
04:41Don't you?
04:43Yeah.
04:44I guess so.
04:45Don't worry.
04:47It's okay.
04:48All right?
04:50It's all gonna be okay.
04:52Uh, thanks.
04:55Well, okay, honey.
04:57If it's what you want, it's your funeral.
05:11Hey.
05:13Looks like you gave me your card.
05:15Spiritual consultation and past life regression?
05:18Oh, for God's sake, who does this?
05:20Who spends a hundred dollars to be told they were once Eleanor of Aquitaine?
05:24Or whoever, the Marquis de Sade.
05:27So what do you think happens after we die?
05:29Heaven?
05:30Or hell.
05:31Really?
05:31Yeah.
05:33Yeah, but with like angels and devils or brimstone or whatever?
05:36I don't know what it looks like or who else is there, but yeah, I do believe there are consequences
05:39for the way we live our lives.
05:41Huh.
05:46You know, sometimes I kind of feel like Dad's around.
05:52Do you ever?
05:55Nope.
06:00You know we have the independent funeral director's lunch today, right?
06:04Yeah, why do I have to go? That's your thing.
06:05It's your thing too now. These are your colleagues. It's important to know who they are.
06:09Yeah, I know who they are. I met them in Vegas. They're freaks.
06:12But they're not freaks.
06:13Nobody likes the Brazil nuts, David.
06:16Not the local guys.
06:18Oh yeah, I'm sure the L.A. morticians are a lot more fun than the guys from Montana.
06:21You're an L.A. mortician now, Nate. This is your community.
06:24You know, it's polite for the first person downstairs to make the coffee, even if that person has a penis.
06:29Well, you know, it's also polite for the first person who uses the bathroom to spend less than 45 minutes
06:33in there, even if that person has a vulva.
06:36Oh, goodness, everyone's here.
06:38With all their genitalia.
06:40Excuse me?
06:41Mom, would you like some toast?
06:43No, thanks. I have to be in the valley by 10.30.
06:45What's in the valley?
06:46I'm going to a seminar.
06:48What seminar?
06:48Oh, something Robbie invited me to. The plan?
06:51Isn't that like a cult?
06:52No, it's one of those self-actualization things from the 70s where they yell at you for 12 hours and
06:56don't let you go to the bathroom.
06:57Oh, no, really. Should I bring some kind of jar?
07:00A jar?
07:01I suppose that's not much of a solution.
07:04Oh, and you're on your own for dinner. I won't be back until after midnight.
07:09The thought of mom being self-actualized is kind of making me nauseous.
07:13You sure it's not the thought of mom pissing into a jar?
07:18So, Tahira, why can't you forgive your father?
07:21When I was 16, he had a dream that I had given myself to a man who was not the
07:26husband I had been promised to.
07:29For that, he set me on fire.
07:32I was able to save myself, but I had to leave the country so he would not kill me.
07:40And always, I will have the scars from this.
07:46That's horrible. Truly horrible.
07:49How could he do this to me?
07:50But as long as you hold on to that anger toward your father, you will be on fire.
07:56You may have left the country, but you are still living in the same house.
08:00And in that house, there is a room that is still burning.
08:04Who lives in this room?
08:07I do.
08:08Your father is still living in this room.
08:11So you never invite anyone in.
08:13And you go through life alone.
08:15You must open that door.
08:17Put out the flames.
08:19You must invite your father to come visit you.
08:22But he won't even speak to me.
08:24That is your old blueprint.
08:27That is what you want to believe.
08:29Because you are too afraid to tear down the walls and rebuild.
08:33Oh, come on.
08:34Stop blaming the victim.
08:36All right. Who here thinks I'm being unfair?
08:41Be honest.
08:49Ruth, do you agree?
08:50Until Tahira forgives her father, she will never feel safe in her home.
08:57Well, maybe...
08:58Speak up.
08:59We all pay to hear you.
09:01Why don't you stand?
09:06Her father did such a terrible thing.
09:09I don't see why she has to have him as a house guest.
09:12If you don't agree with me, why didn't you raise your hand?
09:15I was just trying to understand your point.
09:17Or do you think that your opinion doesn't matter?
09:20That perhaps you are just a guest here.
09:23Are you a guest in your own house, Ruth?
09:25I don't think so.
09:26Yes.
09:27She tiptoes around herself like she's afraid of waking someone up.
09:31The only person sleeping in your house is you.
09:33Well, I do have three children.
09:34See, she's not even listening.
09:36Ruth, you have to get out of bed.
09:39Open the windows and let some light into your house so that you can see the way things are.
09:45Then, and only then, can you begin renovating your life.
09:52So Tahira, are you ready to renovate?
09:55Yes, I think so.
09:57So when you call your father, what will you say first?
10:00Um, hello?
10:02Sorry, my beak were exploded.
10:05It's okay.
10:06Catch your breath.
10:10So, how's it going?
10:13Um, well, I have hydrochloric acid in my hair, but other than that, I'm fine.
10:17Really?
10:19No, but I'm incredibly bored with myself right now.
10:25Let's talk about you.
10:26Who's your girlfriend? What's her name?
10:28Jenny.
10:29Fine, thanks.
10:31How's it going with Gabriel?
10:32I have no idea.
10:33I haven't even talked to him in like two weeks.
10:39Is that her?
10:39Mm-hmm.
10:42What's she do?
10:43She's a, uh, jewelry designer.
10:45Really? She have like a store?
10:46Uh, no. She has, uh, clients and she caters.
10:51But, uh, I'm not here to talk about Jenny.
10:56Look, I think it might help to tell me what it is that you're going through right now.
11:00Well, it's no big fucking mystery.
11:02I mean, it sucks.
11:05It sucks to be pretty much, you know, in love with a guy who's too fucked up for life, you
11:09know?
11:10What happened?
11:12Nothing really. Just...
11:14Whatever.
11:15You know, it's not even his fault.
11:17It fucking pisses me off. The whole thing, his whole family thing is so fucking unfair.
11:20And I really just thought he needed, like...
11:23I don't know.
11:24You?
11:25No. But someone, maybe.
11:28You know, some person on the planet who gives a fuck about him for once in his life.
11:32Yeah, I did think maybe that would matter.
11:33It does matter.
11:35No one can ever solve someone else's life.
11:38So, basically, your job is totally pointless?
11:41No one, uh, but a guidance counselor, I mean.
11:48There they are.
11:49That's the community? I thought this was supposed to be an event.
11:52Oh, it's an event.
11:57Didn't I meet one of those guys in Vegas?
11:59Bobo from Peaceful Haven.
12:01Right.
12:02He spits.
12:02Yes, he does.
12:03Hey!
12:04Stan.
12:05Jack.
12:05Bobo.
12:06This is my brother, Nate.
12:08Nice to see you, Nate.
12:09Nice to meet you, Jack.
12:10Bobo.
12:11Good seeing you, Bobo.
12:13Hey, congratulations.
12:15We heard you just got your license to operate a moving funeral.
12:19Yeah, finally went pro.
12:20Yeah, well sit, sit, sit.
12:21Oh no, go ahead.
12:22No, no, after you.
12:23Age before beauty.
12:24Right.
12:25Yeah, so David tells us that you are very gifted.
12:28He does.
12:31We were just giving Stan grief for poaching our customers with false advertising.
12:36Well, that sounds like something Croner would do.
12:38Fucking Croner, those cocksuckers.
12:42Sorry, those cunts.
12:45So this family goes off to 405.
12:48We get five bodies, right?
12:50Two.
12:51My walk-in only holds three.
12:52So my guys work an overtime to get everyone juiced.
12:55But sometimes you just have to leave them out for an hour or two beyond regulation.
12:59It happens, right?
13:00But those Croner fucks, they're just waiting for a chance to send in their flacky at the DCA
13:06and boom, I get hit with a giant fine and a lawsuit.
13:09I will ram a plastic screw up my anus before I give in to those fucks.
13:15No offense.
13:18Do we have a waitress?
13:19Yeah, yeah, um, she'll, uh, she'll be back with the fries.
13:22The fucks.
13:24They are fucks.
13:25They're fucking evil fucks.
13:27They're sucking up all the mom and pops.
13:29I mean, businesses that people spent their lives building.
13:31Yeah, they don't care about people, they don't care about lives.
13:33All right, Nate, we appreciate your passion, but...
13:36No, no, no, no, all they care about is money.
13:37And it's not just our industry, it's everywhere.
13:40When corporations try and squeeze out all the competitors,
13:42the further management gets from labor, the more alienation there is in the workplace
13:46and the more meaningless all our lives become.
13:47Fuck yeah!
13:48It's hopeless, isn't it?
13:50No, no, I don't think it is.
13:51But we have to stick together and save our energy to fight Croner, you know, Stan?
13:55Yes, yes, I love this guy.
13:57Terrific!
13:58Terrific!
13:59Terrific!
14:00Yeah.
14:01Yeah.
14:02Yeah.
14:03I don't know, Gary, twice in one day.
14:06Claire, this is, uh, Detective Reese.
14:09Why don't you sit down, Claire?
14:17Any idea where Gabriel Demas is?
14:20Why would I?
14:21He's a friend of yours, isn't he?
14:23Yeah, but it's not like I know where he is every second of the day.
14:25You have noticed that he hasn't been in school for the last two weeks.
14:28Yeah, but I don't know where he is.
14:32I don't.
14:34Did you know that he held up a convenience store with a gun?
14:38No.
14:39Did you give or sell him embalming fluid?
14:41No.
14:43My God.
14:44So how do you think he got it?
14:45I don't know.
14:47The internet?
14:48Do they have catalogues for that stuff?
14:50Well, maybe.
14:52It'd be a lot easier to get it from you.
14:54Don't you think?
14:55No, because I would never do anything like that.
14:58I don't even know where they keep that stuff.
15:10So it's between ethics of evolution and biogenetics, I think.
15:14Biogenetics, really?
15:16What?
15:18Yawn, kind of, right?
15:20Well, biogenetics might sound dull to you, but it's actually very smutty.
15:24It's all about sperm competition and cryptic ovulation.
15:29Oh, yeah?
15:30What else are you taking?
15:32Only doing one class.
15:34I thought you were going back to school.
15:36I said I was going to take a class.
15:38I still have to work, you know.
15:40Fuck, if it's only one class, why not pick something interesting?
15:43How about this religious studies class?
15:46Cross-cultural perspectives on the afterlife?
15:48Yawn.
15:49That's not boring, it's spiritual.
15:51Double yawn.
15:52Why don't you sign up for that and we can meet in the club for lunch?
15:56Hey, that'd be so fun.
15:58I could make out in the stacks.
16:00Mm-hmm.
16:01Sneak into the pool at night, just skinny dipping in the acid.
16:03Hmm, sounds like you did a lot of work at college.
16:06I was only in school for two years, but I learned a few things.
16:09What about breaking into school property while tripping?
16:12Hey.
16:14That'll help you in life.
16:16Mm-hmm.
16:18Mm-hmm.
16:21What?
16:23Hmm?
16:25Oh, come on, Brandon.
16:26I was just in the middle of something.
16:29Look, it's been a while.
16:30It's not that long.
16:32Well, it's been three and a half weeks and then on Tuesday it'll be four weeks.
16:36Not that you're counting.
16:38Yeah, I'm counting.
16:39I mean, did you not even notice?
16:41You know it's normal after a certain point for sex to slow down.
16:45Yeah, slow down, okay, but stop.
16:48People can go months after a certain point.
16:50Well, after a certain point, okay, like six years maybe, but six months?
16:54Seven.
16:55Not that you're counting.
16:59Listen, Nate, you've never been with anybody long enough to know this,
17:01but there is a certain ebb and flow that happens.
17:05Oh, not for everybody.
17:06It does.
17:08There will be times when you're not attracted to me at all.
17:12It's just a normal ebb.
17:15Well, how long does a normal ebb last?
17:18I don't know, but I think that's the kind of question that prolongs the standard ebb.
17:28Hi.
17:30You're about to die, and you've got to walk for a decade except for hat and gloves,
17:34and this nurse came up to him and said,
17:36Hey, what do you watch? You can't walk around that way for.
17:38And the guy said,
17:40Well, nobody gets okay. Nobody comes around here anyway.
17:42And so he said, the nurse says,
17:44Well, what do you have on the hat and gloves for?
17:47It's so late, I was kind of worried.
17:49It goes until midnight.
17:51Was it fun?
17:53It was horrible.
17:55So you're not going back?
17:57Oh, I'm going back.
18:00Why?
18:01I don't know. I don't want to be rude.
18:03Mom, they don't care about that. They already got your money.
18:05Well, there's that too.
18:11Don't you get bored around here?
18:13Well, sometimes.
18:16Well, do you want some, like, tea or something?
18:20All right. What did you break?
18:23Nothing. I was just being nice. God.
18:26I'm sorry.
18:31I was imposing my old blueprint on you.
18:37Excuse me?
18:39In the old blueprint of my old house.
18:42You're only nice to me when you've done something bad.
18:45Or when you want something.
18:48Well, that makes me feel like shit.
18:50I'm sorry.
18:52But it really does seem that way to me.
19:01Well, I should go do my homework.
19:04I give you homework?
19:06I have to write a letter to my dead mother.
19:09And forgive her for all the terrible things she did to me.
19:13That sounds fun.
19:15And then I have to write a private letter to myself
19:17outlining how I want to renovate my life.
19:21Good night, dear.
19:24Good night.
19:28Kato!
19:30The shovel's in the truck!
19:51That's good.
19:52Uh, Rico, you forget something there?
19:58Oh, shit.
20:01Sorry, man.
20:02I got about two hours of sleep last night.
20:04Uh, Gusto?
20:05No, Angie, Vanessa's sister.
20:07She walks out on her boyfriend and comes over to Whale in her living room all night long.
20:11Uh, women, man.
20:12Yeah, I'm telling you, man.
20:13She shows up at the house.
20:14With the suitcase, like, she's got some right now, but...
20:18She has all these fancy Hollywood friends who flash their money around all the time.
20:21I'm like, what?
20:22You can't go somewhere, there's a guest room?
20:26You know, Rico, I'm really sorry about that loan.
20:29It's just a really tight budget, you know?
20:32It's okay.
20:34We got the house.
20:35Something else came through.
20:36Well, that's great.
20:37Yep.
20:38Escrow closes next month.
20:39Wow.
20:40Superman.
20:42Hey, so you and, uh...
20:45Vanessa have been together, what, like...
20:47Five years now?
20:48Married five, together eight.
20:50Yeah, can you believe that shit?
20:53Okay, so this is sort of a personal question.
20:55You don't have to answer, but, um...
20:59You guys still...
21:04Pretty much have sex?
21:08Well, you know.
21:09We got two kids now, so it slows down a bit.
21:12Right, right.
21:13Yeah.
21:15How slow?
21:18Well, right after the baby, Vanessa's got all the wrong hormones and stuff, so...
21:23Now, you know, maybe...
21:25Three or four times a week?
21:31Wow.
21:33That's too bad, man.
21:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:35That...
21:35That sucks.
21:37It's not like the first few years.
21:38Yeah.
21:39Yeah, you better enjoy it while you got it.
21:41No kidding, right?
21:46This moron always goes over.
21:49You're going in correctly, selfish ass.
21:51Let them finish their game.
21:53We go over some time.
22:04So, how's Eddie?
22:06He's good.
22:08Things are good, I guess.
22:16Keith, what's going on?
22:18I think my sister's fucking using that shit again.
22:20Hey!
22:21I'm gonna teach you to watch.
22:24My mom's come up from San Diego to watch over.
22:26That's gonna fix anything.
22:28According to her, everything is just fine now.
22:30I'm the one that's overreacting.
22:33I don't think you're overreacting.
22:38Thanks.
22:46Eddie hates racquetball.
22:48Really? Why?
22:49Poor depth perception.
22:51Hmm.
22:53I can't believe pool either.
22:56That's too bad.
23:06Let's not beat around the bush, shall we?
23:09Biology has a long history of being abused as an ideological instrument
23:13to justify social inequities and amoral behavior.
23:16For those of you who have not yet read my book,
23:18the central argument I posit in Genes Out of the Bottle, Evolution and Biotechnology,
23:23is that genetic engineering is in and of itself
23:26the most effective argument against biological determinism.
23:30Why?
23:32The thesis that you present so brilliantly is that,
23:34though biology manifests in behavior,
23:37as we can see in the instinct of human males to seek a variety of sexual partners,
23:41the fact that we have the technology to modify genetics
23:44confirms the supremacy of culture over biology.
23:47Excellent.
23:48Other thoughts?
23:50I have a question.
23:51Is a natural selection still operating, though,
23:54since members of the species who have access to genetic technologies
23:57are more likely to survive and procreate?
24:00Well, that kind of reasoning leads us into a very questionable ethical terrain.
24:05Other comments?
24:05Well, what kind of reasoning? Scientific.
24:08You can call it scientific, but as I discuss at great length in Chapter 2,
24:11your argument is a political assertion that privilege is biologically determined.
24:15I haven't actually read your book, but you can tell me that survival isn't easier for people who are born
24:20with a private chef and health insurance.
24:22Well, maybe you should read the book before commenting on its thesis.
24:27Other comments?
24:29Yes.
24:29Excuse me, I'm sorry.
24:31Are we not allowed to disagree with you?
24:33I'm just asking because I'm new in the class.
24:35Well, we certainly don't interrupt our classmates.
24:38Go ahead.
24:39Um, well, in your discussion of bisexual genital rubbing among pygmy chimps,
24:44you note the exchange of sex for meat.
24:46And, well, I was wondering how this might pertain to contemporary human behavior.
24:50Any theories?
24:51Well, in Chapter 3...
24:59So, where do you think he is now?
25:02Well, according to his wife, he's still here.
25:05Well, there's a big chunk of dead meat in a cheap old box that's still here.
25:09But do you really believe that's him?
25:12The essence of who he was?
25:14The part of him that hoped and dreamed and all that other crap?
25:18You tell me you're the one who has all the answers now.
25:21I never said that.
25:22You know, you'd think getting hammered by a bus would make you a little less of a dick.
25:26Well, sure.
25:28It's possible that we go on after we die.
25:32It's also possible that once the light goes out, it stays out.
25:36You'll never know, buddy boy, till it's your turn.
25:39See, that's what you were hanging on to.
25:42Excuse me?
25:44Michael.
25:45Is he here?
25:46He's been with me the whole time.
25:49You think he'll stay with you?
25:51Not like this.
25:53He's just helping me get used to it.
25:57Do you, uh, look, I hope you don't mind, but do you get a sense of my father at all
26:01around here?
26:16No, I'm sorry.
26:18But that doesn't mean he's not here.
26:20This room is packed.
26:21I can't get to everyone.
26:24I think everything is ready.
26:28I do see a child coming into your life.
26:30No.
26:31Well, it might be you.
26:33Oh, I seriously doubt that.
26:34Well, I'm not sure which one of you I'm reading, but I'm quite sure there's gonna be a child here
26:40very soon.
26:41Hey.
26:42Heading out now, okay?
26:44This is Federico Diaz, our embalmer, and his baby Augusto.
26:49This is Mrs. Piper.
26:50Oh, oh, hi.
26:52I'm sorry for your loss.
26:54Yeah.
26:54You made his body look very nice.
26:58Actually, his body gave me a lot to work with.
27:00Hardly any decay for a cancer death.
27:02Okay.
27:03Rico, see you tomorrow.
27:04Yeah, okay.
27:05Nice to meet you, ma'am.
27:08Let's go.
27:11Here we go.
27:18Eileen asked that I close with a reading from Michael's favorite poet, Walt Whitman.
27:25What do you think has become of the young and old men?
27:28And what do you think has become of the women and children?
27:31They are alive and well somewhere.
27:34The smallest sprout shows there is really no death.
27:38And if ever there was, it led forward life and does not wait at the end to arrest it.
27:42And cease the moment life appeared.
27:45All goes onward and outward.
27:47Nothing collapses.
27:49And to die is different from what anyone supposed.
27:53And luckier.
27:57Let us pray.
28:00Oh, Lord, bless the departed soul of our brother, friend and son, Michael.
28:04I'm just hanging around to help you get used to it.
28:08I am used to it, Dad.
28:09It's been six months.
28:10Seven.
28:12Not that you're counting.
28:14God, my strength and my trust.
28:18Amen.
28:20Amen.
28:30Amen.
28:30Hey.
28:31Hey.
28:32Are you done?
28:33Pretty much.
28:34What's up?
28:35Well, I wanted to ask you something.
28:37Okay.
28:37Get this.
28:38Bobo sold to Kroner.
28:40Bobo sold my Bobo?
28:42Your Bobo.
28:44I can't believe this.
28:45He was so committed.
28:48You think he's got a plastic screw in his anus about now?
28:50I hope so.
28:51No, son of a bitch.
28:52I'm gonna go call him.
28:56What's the matter with you?
28:58Nothing.
29:03Where's Carla?
29:05She's just working late.
29:06Why are you fronting?
29:08Go to your room now, Taylor.
29:10Mama hasn't been home since Tuesday.
29:12What?
29:13Now.
29:14But my stomach hurts.
29:16I'll get you some Pepto-Bismol.
29:18I don't want none of that nasty shit.
29:20Then go on.
29:22Shit, bitch.
29:23I gotta get my gun.
29:24Good boy.
29:25Don't talk to your grandmother like that.
29:27What's your grandmother like that?
29:31She's sick?
29:32She says that every night.
29:34She just wants the attention.
29:35Can you blame her?
29:36Her mother's off doing God knows whatever.
29:38Carla's fine.
29:39She just had to go out of town.
29:41Oh, you talked to her.
29:42Well, I wasn't in when she called.
29:44But she left several messages.
29:45Besides, I'm here with Taylor.
29:47Don't blow this out of proportion like you always do.
29:50Hey, Mama.
29:51I'm not coming home tonight.
29:53Derek needs some papers and I gotta go talk.
29:54Can't she send him his papers?
29:56Well, you remember how Derek was?
29:58Always getting her to do this and that for him?
30:00Yeah.
30:00Like raise his kid without a dime from him.
30:03Sorry, I dropped the phone.
30:04I'm gonna tell you, shut up.
30:05Anyway, I'll call you as soon as I can.
30:08Okay?
30:09Okay.
30:10We can get the phone company records.
30:12But I have to file a missing person's report first.
30:14Keith, why must you always think the worst of her?
30:17Let's just wait till she gets home.
30:20We don't even know.
30:21What are you gonna do?
30:21Move up here and take care of her for the rest of your life?
30:23She has a child.
30:24Jesus, she needs help.
30:25And you covering up for her is not what I mean.
30:27Who do you think you're talking to?
30:29I am your mother.
30:31And you will respect that or I will smack the black right off of you.
30:47Hi there.
30:51Hi.
30:53Third day.
30:56How can you tell?
30:59I'm good at people.
31:04Are you?
31:06Gotta be.
31:07Axelrod.
31:08Oh.
31:09I'm Scott.
31:10Scott Axelrod.
31:12Candice Bovard.
31:14Nice to meet you, Candice.
31:16Are you an actress?
31:21Oh, no.
31:23I teach sign language to the Noida.
31:26Really?
31:33How noble?
31:35Oh, no.
31:35It's very lucrative.
31:37And I really enjoy communicating with my body.
31:43I get that.
31:50Oh, you know what?
31:51My friend is here, but it's been really great getting to know you, Scott.
31:54I would love to take you to dinner sometime.
31:57Can I give you my card?
31:57Oh, you sure can.
32:02There.
32:05Oh, it's good.
32:10All right.
32:12You have 20 minutes to do what's most important in your life now.
32:15What did you write to yourself in your private letter?
32:18Where are you locked out of your own life?
32:20If you learn today that your relationship with your mother has been blocking the door to your happiness,
32:24then make that repair right now.
32:27Waiting only gives you more chances to make excuses.
32:31There are phones in the hall.
32:32See you in 19 minutes.
32:35Where can I find the Snickers bar?
32:38Can't you think of more productive ways to use this time?
32:41Like what? Take him smoking?
32:43Why not try rebuilding with someone right now?
32:46Ruth.
32:48I read your private letter to yourself.
32:50And if you really want closeness in your life, you're going to have to start major renovations.
32:55In fact, I would gut.
32:56You read my private letter?
32:57Why don't you try calling your kids?
32:59I don't even know where my kids are.
33:01And the last thing any of them wants is for me to call them on a Friday night so I
33:04can put in new flooring.
33:06I've wanted to hear that my whole life, Dad.
33:08Oh, fuck. I love you too, you sadistic old fuck.
33:14Okay.
33:15Start with Claire.
33:17Only you can be the architect of your life.
33:21I was 12 years old.
33:23It wasn't 12 years old.
33:25It wasn't 12 years old.
33:26It wasn't 12 years old.
33:26It wasn't 12 years old.
33:27It wasn't 12 years old.
33:28Yes.
33:28I do remember it as well.
33:30You know, I was...
33:34Hi, Dad.
33:35Hi.
33:37Claire?
33:39This is your mother.
33:40Let it go.
33:42Yes, but I just wanted to tell you that I feel like even though I've been trying to be closer
33:48to you, it hasn't really been working.
33:52I wish you felt you could confide in me.
33:55And maybe you don't because you feel my opinion is worthless.
33:59Because I don't really live in my house.
34:02And so I suppose that's the infrastructure I built.
34:08So I'm sorry.
34:11And?
34:12And I love you.
34:14That's so good.
34:15I gotta pee like a racehorse.
34:19You have exceeded the time limit.
34:21If you know the name, I hope you'd like to save Brent one now.
34:24You were right when you said all that glitter is in gold.
34:32You were right when you said all we are is dust and wind.
34:40You were right when you said all that glitter is in gold.
34:43Claire?
34:44Where the fuck have you been?
34:47Fucked up.
34:48Gabe, what is going on?
34:50Everything is all fucked up, Claire.
34:53It's gonna be okay.
34:54You just have to calm down right now.
34:56I need...
34:58I need you to come and get me.
35:00Please.
35:02Please.
35:04You know the cops are like seriously looking for you.
35:07I know that, okay?
35:08Why do you think I need you to come out here and get me?
35:11Where are you?
35:13I'm up past Woodland Hills.
35:15Academia is one huge circle jerk.
35:18All the sequester of people desperately defending the one good idea they have ever had in their lives.
35:23So what, that's it for going back to school?
35:25Yep.
35:26Next.
35:33What was your day?
35:35It was weird.
35:36Buried that psychic woman's husband and she was still like, talking to the guy.
35:39Oh, that's sad.
35:40Well, not for her.
35:42I mean...
35:43She really believed he was there.
35:45Yeah.
35:46Well, she has to say that, right?
35:48If she claims she's a psychic.
35:50Well, you don't think that that's possible?
35:51What about you saying that things happen that leave marks?
35:54In people, in places, in time.
35:56That's physics.
35:58Energy affecting matter.
36:00Talking to dead people is delusional.
36:02So you definitely don't believe in any kind of life after death then?
36:06I think people live on through the people they love.
36:10And the things they do with their lives.
36:13If they manage to do things with their lives.
36:17But that's it. That's it. That's all there is.
36:19There's nothing more. There's nothing, like, bigger.
36:21Just energy.
36:22But there's no plan, no...
36:24No, there's definitely no plan.
36:30Just survival.
36:34Should I have ordered the salmon?
36:36Uh, I don't know.
36:40How can you live like that?
36:41I mean, what if you found out you're gonna die tomorrow?
36:44I've been prepared to die tomorrow since I was six years old.
36:48Really?
36:49Yeah.
36:50Pretty much. We never got better.
36:52Well, why since you were six?
36:55Because I read a report on the effect nuclear war would have on the world.
36:58And it was pretty clear to me at that point that this was definitely gonna happen.
37:02When you were six?
37:04And I wake up every day pretty much surprised that, um, everything's still here.
37:11Well, I don't understand how you can live like that.
37:15Well, I thought we all did.
37:18I don't know.
37:25I don't know.
37:27I don't know.
37:29I don't know.
37:30I don't know.
37:30Who's that?
37:31I went to high school with him.
37:34He's clearly had a nose job.
37:38Close your eyes.
37:41Go on.
37:43And imagine that everyone in this room thinks you're an idiot.
37:47Total fool. Complete moron. Absolute ass.
37:51Feel familiar?
37:53It's how you feel in the world, isn't it?
37:56I want you to feel it deeply now.
37:58Really feel that everyone in this room thinks you're an idiot.
38:08Close your eyes, Ruth.
38:10Feel you're an idiot.
38:15Now, tell me, when you get the joke.
38:29Do you get the joke, Ruth?
38:30No.
38:32I'm an idiot.
38:33Who wants to explain the joke to Ruth?
38:39Um, yeah, so we all feel the same way, right?
38:43So who's really the asshole?
38:46We all are.
38:47Ruth, stand up.
38:51Tell me what you wrote in your private letter to yourself.
38:55It was the private letter to myself.
38:58Tell me where your house needs repaired.
39:01Yeah, and don't bullshit the lady cupcake.
39:04I have a very nice house.
39:06I have nice children and a nice job.
39:09And a nice gentleman friend.
39:11Can't anyone just be happy?
39:13I'm happy.
39:15Who's buying Ruth's house?
39:19We don't believe your house is structurally sound, Ruth.
39:21Who knows better, me or a room full of complainers?
39:24What do you really want to complain about, really?
39:26The fact that the blood stopped circulating to my rear end four hours ago.
39:31Okay, what else?
39:32You want me to complain?
39:34All right then, fuck this.
39:37Fuck you.
39:38Fuck all of you with your sniveling self-pity.
39:40And fuck all your lousy parents.
39:43Fuck my lousy parents while we're at it.
39:45Fuck my selfish bohemian sister and her fucking bliss.
39:48Fuck my legless grandmother.
39:50Fuck my dead husband and my lousy children with their nasty little secrets.
39:54And fuck you, Robbie, for dragging me to this terrible place and not letting me have a Snickers bar.
39:59I'm going to get somebody to eat.
40:02Congratulations, Ruth.
40:03You have just leveled your fleabag hovel.
40:07Now you can build the house of your dreams from the ground up.
40:10Yes!
40:12Yes!
40:12Yes!
40:13Oh, excellent!
40:15Nice to meet you.
40:43Okay, let's hop.
40:47Uh, hi?
40:48We should, you should just get going.
40:51Okay.
40:52But you can tell me where the fuck you've been for two...
40:54Yeah, like you can't.
40:56What?
40:59I just dragged my ass way the fuck out to nowhere.
41:02Can we just talk about this while we're driving?
41:05Okay?
41:07Jesus, it's hot as hell in this car.
41:25Can you tell me where we're going?
41:27Let's just head out to Angela's Crest.
41:30Angela's Crest? That's like where serial killers go to dump the bodies.
41:33You think you can think of someplace a little creepier?
41:35I don't care where we go.
41:36I just want to go somewhere where we can be alone for a minute and we can...
41:39Just talk, you know? Just whatever.
41:44Are you fucked up right now?
41:46What the fuck do you expect, Claire?
41:48Okay? I'm freaked out, you know?
41:49Everything's really fucked up for me right now.
41:51Yeah, okay. So what are you going to do?
41:52I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
41:54What is there to figure out?
41:55Claire, just chill out, okay? Just...
41:56Jesus.
41:59Look, they know you gave Andy the fry or whatever the fuck it's called.
42:03They know you robbed that store, Gabe.
42:06You have to turn yourself in.
42:09Yeah.
42:10Oh, yeah, that is a genius fucking plan.
42:13Hey.
42:14Hey, baby.
42:15You like to drink blood?
42:17It's incredible, isn't it?
42:18Shut the fuck up, scumbag.
42:20Oh, look, you got a corpse in the front seat.
42:22I said shut the fuck up, scumbag!
42:27Go.
42:28Go, go, go, go, go!
42:31Is he alright?
42:33It's okay. It's okay.
42:35It's okay. Just keep driving.
42:45What are you doing?
42:48We have to go back.
42:49Are you insane?
42:50We have to go back and make sure that guy is okay.
42:52I didn't hit him, alright?
42:53I don't know. I mean, are you sure?
42:55I saw. He's fine, alright?
42:57Well, let's just go back and make sure that he is alright.
42:59Claire, I cannot go back there!
43:02God, I am fucked!
43:04You know this isn't making it worse.
43:06Listen, listen.
43:07I need you to just help me right now, okay?
43:09Please.
43:11I can't help you!
43:13I can't help you anymore!
43:15I can't!
43:18Just keep going, okay?
43:20Just keep going and I will figure out what to do, okay?
43:22I will figure it out.
43:26I'm going back!
43:27Claire, don't get out!
43:33Claire, give me that.
43:35Okay, you have to get out now.
43:38Don't do this to me.
43:40Get out!
43:43Get out!
43:44Okay!
43:46Okay.
43:48She's going to get my bag, alright?
43:55Thanks.
43:56Or do he can do it!
44:15Please.
44:15Okay.
44:19Oh, my God.
44:49So, where do you think I am?
44:52Heaven or hell?
44:55Apparently you're here at the moment.
44:57You think I'm in hell?
45:00Yeah, sure, I went to church.
45:01That was just for business.
45:02I don't really believe in God.
45:04I mean, not as anyone who you had to please or impress to get promoted.
45:08No.
45:10The only God I know is a mean-spirited comedian in ugly pants
45:14whose every joke has the same damn punchline.
45:17And I'm thinking that kind of attitude lands me straight in hell.
45:23On the bright side,
45:25that means
45:28you'll have a familiar face waiting for you.
45:33Hey, look it up.
45:35Leviticus chapter 20, verse 13.
45:38I don't believe that anymore.
45:52And I don't think you're in hell.
45:55But you can't quite see me hanging around with Gandhi and Mother Teresa up there.
46:02I miss you, Dad.
46:06Hey.
46:10I thought you were at Brenda's.
46:12Yeah, she had a late client, so I thought I'd, you know,
46:16have to clean up.
46:17Thanks.
46:19This hour, that is a late client.
46:22Yeah, some of them like her to put him to bed, you know.
46:25It's very sad.
46:27Hey, how long did you go out with that cop?
46:29About six months.
46:33Sex ever slow down?
46:35I was so hoping you weren't going to go there.
46:37Oh, sorry.
46:38Forget it.
46:41Claire?
46:41David, I need some help.
46:43What happened?
46:46No.
46:49Fuck my legless grandmother.
46:51And fuck you, Robbie,
46:52for not letting me have a Snickers bar.
46:54Oh, my goodness, the language.
47:00I was so rude.
47:02It was fantastic.
47:03It was a hell breakthrough.
47:05Oh, Robbie, I don't even know how to thank you.
47:08Don't thank me.
47:11Just change.
47:15So, what are you going to do tomorrow
47:17to start your renovations?
47:18That's none of your fucking business.
47:33You have no idea where he'd go?
47:47What's he wearing?
47:53You know, it's going to be much easier on him if we can bring him in before something else happens.
47:58Yeah, but he doesn't even have the gun.
48:00What, do you think he can't get another gun?
48:05Um...
48:08He's wearing, like, jeans and a green T-shirt, I think.
48:10Okay. You're doing the right thing. You know that, right?
48:17I feel like shit.
48:19You'll feel worse if someone else gets hurt.
48:24Oh, my God. When that cop asked me if I knew about the 7-Eleven thing, I said I didn't,
48:29but I did.
48:30Is that, like, really bad?
48:32It's not great, but you're telling the truth now, right? So don't worry about that.
48:36You would make me, like, testify against him or something, right?
48:39Well, that's not up to me. But anyway, that's a long ways off.
48:43Okay. Because I don't want to do anything like that.
48:46God, why are you still protecting this loser?
48:48Because she loves him.
48:53We understand that, Claire.
48:57I really wish you told us about this sooner. How long did you know about the embalming fluid?
49:01Not that long, and I tried to tell Nate.
49:03When? When the fuck did you try and tell me about this?
49:05She's telling you now. All right?
49:08Okay, I'm sorry.
49:13I'm sorry.
49:16When you're ready, I'm gonna get in the car and drive down to the station.
49:21A couple of detectives there are gonna ask you pretty much the same questions.
49:25Will you be there?
49:27Yes. I'll be there.
49:35I'll be there.
49:37I'll be there.
49:39I'll be there.
49:40I'll be there.
49:42I'll be there.
