"I mean, New Orleans was struggling through a post-Katrina holocaust, and Lumpy thinks he can brighten everyone's day by hanging beads from..." "What did he call it?" "His hairy button." " Hairy button." " That was hilarious." " Oh, Scott." " Okay, listen." "You know what?" "I agree, in the last year the drinking got a little out of control."

"Well, maybe Mr. Dash had some things on his mind, and things he had to take care of." "I just wonder if Mr. and Mrs. Dash didn't go on a honeymoon and then after that stopped communicating." "Maybe Mrs. Dash should stop feeling sorry for herself." "I think that Mrs. Dash is trying really hard" " and maybe feels underappreciated." " Maybe Mrs. Dash should remember she's not the only spice in the spice rack." "I'm not saying that Mrs. Dash is the only spice." "Mrs. Dash has gotten very arrogant lately." "Little one-sided."

"We understand and we know you're upset..." "You asked me to pee sitting down!" "I thought it would be a nice compromise." "You wanted me to carry a purse, for Christ's sake." " Why would he carry a purse?" " It was a man bag!" "And I was only pointing out that some men have found it efficient." " They are in Europe, mostly..." " We don't live in Europe." "This is what I'm talking about." "Lumpy kept it real." "He was a man." "I'm going to help Mom in the kitchen." "Good idea." "Come on, Terry." "This isn't even gonna get me through New Years."

" I'm sorry." "You're not a smoker." "Should we leave tomorrow morning after traffic?" " Leave for where?" " Lutsen." "What are you talking about?" "Why would we drive to Lutsen?" "'Cause we have to find Ramsey Anderson and tell her that her boyfriend died." "Kris, that's like five hours away." "It's near Canada." "Why don't we just call Ramsey Anderson?" "I tried." "The phone's been disconnected or something." "I Googled." "I Facebooked." "There's nothing." "What about a home number?" "Do you know how many Andersons there are in Northern Minnesota?" "So we're gonna drive to Lutsen and just ask around for Ramsey Anderson?" " Yeah." " Why would we do that?" "Because Lumpy was your best friend." "Kris, can you take your legs down, please?" "'Cause we get in an accident, you're gonna get paralyzed." "But we've passed, like, two cars in the last 20 minutes." "Can you just work with me, please?" "Come on." "We're newlyweds." "Thank you."

"Um, the funeral is tomorrow, so we can put her on a bus by Monday night, Tuesday morning." "Here." "I want you to have it." "I want you to know we're gonna take really good care of her." "It's only for a couple days." "We'll have her back." " Make sure." " Yeah, we will." " We should go." " Okay." "I'm sorry again about all the confusion and, um..." "I-I-I didn't catch your name." "Um, you know what?" "I-I'm just gonna leave you a business card there." "That's me and my cell number, if you need to get in touch, check in." "Okay." "I love you." "(CRYING)" " (DOOR CLOSES)" " WINSTON:" "Jesus." "It's only gonna be two days." "(DOOR SLAMS)" "S-So, how often would Lumpy come and visit you, Ramsey?" "Almost every weekend." "Really?" "And, um, your mom never met him?" "We hung out at the motel mostly." "Huh." "So, you guys just got married four days ago?" " Mmm." " Yeah." "Aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon or something?" "KRISTIN:" "Mmm." "Yeah, supposed to be..." "(SIGHS)" "Lying under a palm tree in a caftan, sipping a mojito." "What's a caftan?" "Never mind." "So..." "(SIGHS)" "No honeymoon." " Nope." " Hmm." "Waste of a perfectly good boob job." "You got a boob job?" " No, I did not, Ramsey." " I was just kidding." "I didn't think so." "I need a Xanax." " Again?" " What do you mean? "Again"?" "What do you mean, "again"?" " You took one earlier." " Yeah." " Did I?" " You did." "My mom says taking drugs for fun is okay, but taking them for problems is not." "'Cause once the drugs wear off, you still have the problem." "Yeah." "Why'd you quit your job?" "Wh..." "Huh?" "Why'd I qui..." "Oh." "It's a long story, Ramsey." "Hmm." "We got two hours till Minneapolis." "Yeah." "KRISTIN:" "Pop'll kill you." "We have green tea." "Ever had goji berries?" " (SPITS)" " Oh." "Well, they're filled with antioxidants." "Well, I'm 15." "I don't need antioxidants." "That's Lumpy's ultimate fighting phase." " Lumpy fought?" " Mmm." "Only with Jim Beam." "Hey, is this picture from the Wisconsin Dells truck?" "Yeah." "How'd you know that?" "He talked about you guys all the time." "(BEEP)" " What's wrong?" " That was the coroner." "Uh, apparently Lumpy didn't bleed to death." " He had a heart failure." " What?" "Yeah." "It had nothing to do with the cactus." " He had a heart attack?" " He had a heart attack." "The coroner said it was like, um, you know, when young athletes just collapse on the field." "Did you know that Lumpy had a heart condition?" "I don't think Lumpy knew he had a heart condition." "He knew." "He knew about his heart." "He had I.H.S.S." "How do you know?" "He told me." "What's I.H.S.S.?" "Uh, idiopathic hyper..." "Something-something." "It's pretty rare, probably genetic." "So Lumpy told you he had a heart defect?" "I just said that." "What else did he tell you?" " Lots of things." " Yeah?" "Like what?" " Like, why do you care?" " I-I-I'll tell you why." "Because I don't know what he's doing, where he's working, who he's dating." "I don't really know anything about the guy, as it turns out." " Neither do I." " Oh, n..." "I think you knew him pretty well, actually." "Did Lumpy know about the baby?" " Scott..." " No, no, no." "Did he?" " Did Lumpy know about the baby?" " I don't know!" "You don't know if you told your own boyfriend you were pregnant?" "I mean, what the hell?" "What if she got pregnant on purpose?" "She's just a girl." "What if that made his heart thing worse?" " It doesn't matter." " Of course it matters!" " What are you talking about?" " He's gone, Scott." "I know that." "I just..." "He told a 15-year-old girl he was dying." "He didn't tell me." "I just wish he'd told me." "Oh, I wish he had told me." "You told me you would never involve her in the drugs." "You promised." "We all make our sacrifices." "Yeah." "You know what I think?" "I think she got caught on purpose." "And I'm gonna have a little talk with her when she gets back." " GAIL:" "Scott." " Hi, Gail." "I am so sorry." "So sorry." " He was just way too young." " He was." " Hey, Roger." " Hi, Scott." "Uh, I gotta..." "So, don't you look pretty." "(LAUGHS) I like your hair like that." " Have you taken any pills today?" " What?" "Well, your father and I are very worried about you and drugs." "Oh, my God." " Honey, we love you very much." " Yes, we do." "My God." "This is about Neil on the plane?" "Yes, Neil did say something to his mother, and he's only trying to help." "This is so ridiculous." "I thank the Lord that he did say something." "Because otherwise I wouldn't know that you have a problem." " I don't have a problem!" " Honey, a-all right." " Don't get excited." " We're gonna talk about this later." " Yeah, that's good." " That's right." " We'll talk about it later." " Please go sit down." " Just no drugs today." " (WHISPERS) Mother!" "FATHER:" "Honey." "What is going on?" "I..." "I can't talk about it." "I'm gonna go to the bathroom." "(CHUCKLES) Okay." "(FLUSHES)" "(ORGAN MUSIC PLAYING)" "(CLEARS THROAT)" "My name is Ramsey Anderson." "I know a lot of you probably don't know who I am or how I knew Lumpy." "(WHISPERS) Oh, God." "It's sort of a long story." "Lumpy had a minor heart attack a year and a half ago." "And the doctors told him there was no way to know for sure, but they didn't think he would live more than a year or two." "He had I.H.S.S. It's a heart defect, which means the walls of his heart were hard and thick." "And knowing Lumpy, that's difficult for me to believe." "He didn't tell anyone about his heart because he didn't want his friends or family to worry." "And if he only had a little time left to live, the last thing he wanted to be was a lawyer." "He just wanted to fish and have fun." "But then he met me." "What's this?" "My last rites already?" "We're dropping the charges." "The girl told us what happened." "We went out to the lake, saw where you fell through." "You're lucky." "RAMSEY:" "Lumpy started visiting me, um, twice a month, and then every week." "And he'd come up and I'd do my homework in his motel room, or we'd go fishing." "(NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE)" "It was fun." "It was always fun with Lumpy." "I know this sounds weird, but he was the first real friend I ever had." "But when things got worse for me at home, he decided he had to do something." "So you want Ramsey to move to Minneapolis with you?" "Yeah." "Why not?" "She could start at the "U" a year early." "She aced her S.A.T., and she gets good grades." "She's also 15 years old." "Yeah." "And you know what's going on inside that house." "She's gotta get out." "You might be right, but you're not her parent." "Then help us convince her mother that it's the best thing for Ramsey." "What if something happens to you?" "Nothing's gonna happen to me." "You sure this is what you want?" "Yeah." "I want to leave." "But we never got to that part of the plan." "There are a lot of moments in life, and I didn't know Lumpy very long." "Most of you probably had more time with him than I did, but just because dying on a cactus was Lumpy's last moment doesn't mean it was his most important one." "I loved my friend and the moments we had." "I loved Lumpy." "(EXHALES)" "That was really good, what you said in there." "And I know Lumpy would have liked it." "When I yelled at you yesterday, that wasn't about you." "But I had no right to do that, and I'm..." "I'm very sorry." "I've been yelled at a lot worse." "That doesn't really make me feel better." "I'm not pregnant." "Yeah, I kinda figured that out." "Lumpy was a great guy." "He never would have..." "I know." "I know." "What's he doing here?" "Rick?" "You know Rick?" "That's Rick?" "Rick the Realtor Rick?" "The one that took your commission?" "Yeah." "But..." " Hey, what are you doing?" " I'll be right back." "Hey." " Hey." " Hey." "Can I talk to you about a friend of mine?" "He's like a father to me." "Jaime!" "I had to wait 45 minutes out there." "Jaime?" "(DRAWER SLIDES OPEN)" "I wanted to tell you I'm really sorry about your son." "Thank you." "I have something for you." "When I went to Lumpy's apartment," "I found this with your name on it." "This is your money." "It's an advance to help with your transition to Minneapolis." "I put the rest in a safe deposit box." "Why are you doing this?" "If Lumpy wanted you to start college early, that's what you should do." "You'll probably have to get a part-time job, but that should go a long way towards tuition." "I don't know what to say." "You know, I always felt bad my son never met anyone to love, someone to love him back." "It's really good to know that I was wrong." " Hon." " Oh." "(CHUCKLES)" "What is this?" "Looks like a wedding gift?" "I don't know." "Just came today." "Open it." ""Knew you always wanted one of these." "Love, Lumpy."" "It's a robe." "He knew you always wanted a robe?" "It's not a robe." " Looks like a robe." " What is it?" "It's a caftan." "It's..." "It's a caftan." " Is she okay?" " Yeah, she's good." "(CLEARS THROAT)" "Uh, I guess I should find my way home." "Is there a bus station around here somewhere?" "Uh, your mom called this morning." "She did?" "Yeah." "She left Lutsen." "She's left a lot of towns." "You know, I..." "I-I honestly think this is good for her." "I-I think it's good for you too." "Anyway, I know she wants to get help." "Where is she?" "I don't know." "We're gonna figure this out." " Where am I supposed to go?" " You stay here for now." " With you?" " Yeah." "You guys just got married." "You don't want me here." "We talked about it, okay?" "Stay here." " For how long?" " For as long as it takes." "Lumpy had good taste in friends." "Besides, I think I owe you one." "I don't know what you said to Rick." " Nothing." " Nothing?" ""Nothing" got me my job back?" "I just promised I'd help him out with something." "Oh, God." "What?" "You know what?" "I don't want to know, do I?" " (EXHALES) Probably not." " (LAUGHS) Okay." " Well, we'll table it." " (CHUCKLES)" " You hungry?" " Starving." "Come on." " Hello." " Hi."
