"I can't do this alone." "Mr. Oakley, um..." "I really appreciate[br]you seeing me today." "OK." "I think I know[br]what's going on here." "I know the powerful effect[br]Nicole can have on people." "She's absolutely fabulous... at taking[br]a perfectly-oiled train... and running it[br]right off the tracks." "Now, I do love her.[br]Unconditionally." "That goes without saying." "But she can be so destructive." "And volatile." "And, um, the anger... ever since..." "Well, to be 12 years old... and to find your mother[br]like that..." "I think when Nicole's mother[br]took her own life..." "Nicole decided[br]then and there... that she would never,[br]ever trust anyone again." "And it was her[br]against the world... and God forbid anybody[br]should try and help her." "She's persona non grata... with half the psychiatrists[br]on the West side." "A lot of them have recommended[br]that I send her to... one of those behavior[br]modification schools... but I..." "She's tried to kill herself[br]a number of times... but what can I do?" "She lies and she drinks." "She does drugs." "She hates me.[br]Hates her step-mother." "Mr. Oakley" "Ahh, nothin'." "I'm sorry." "I shouldn't be[br]telling you about this... but you seem like[br]such a good person." "Such a decent person." "Now, you want me to write[br]this recommendation?" "You want me to put myself[br]on the line?" "Well, I want you to[br]listen to my advice." "Now, stay away[br]from my daughter." "You hear me?" "For your own good,[br]for my peace of mind... stay away from Nicole." "You know, it's a painful[br]thing for a father to... have to acknowledge a truth[br]about their own child." "it's taken me a long time[br]to accept who she is." "And who she's never gonna be." "MAN Well, I could sleep forever" "But it's of her I dream if I could sleep forever" "I could forget about everything" "We got a party, man.[br]Hey, Carlos... all them honeys[br]gonna be there, man." "They gonna be[br]checkin' us out!" "Hey." "Ha ha." "Hey." "So, what happened?" "When?" "You didn't call me." "Oh, I got home late." "I just had stuff to do." "Well, what'd he say?" "I'll see you guys later." "All right." "What happened?" "[br]" "No, nothing." "He just said he'd write me[br]a recommendation." "But what did he say?" "About what?" "About me.[br]" "Nothing." "Come on, just tell me[br]what he said." "I really don't want[br]to get in the middle" "In the middle of what?" "Look, I just need[br]to focus right now." "You need to focus?" "I can't afford to mess up, man.[br]I told you that." "My mom's all over me[br]'cause I'm never around... and my grades are for shit." "I could hardly keep[br]my eyes open at practice." "All I want to do is sleep for[br]more than four hours straight." "I'm sorry[br]for messing up your life." "I just need to remember[br]what's important." "What's important to you?" "My priorities." "What did he tell you?" "He told me[br]to stay away from you." "That you were trouble[br]and you'd just mess me up." "And what did you say?" "I just..." "I see." "MAN Every time it's time to call" "In many ways" "Every dream" "Gets broken over" "With little time" "I will fly within your sky" "Every time" "You start to call" "And on the way" "All destruction is my wine" "Though it's sad and lonely" "There's a whole life[br]waiting after dawn" "Gonna slide" "You can be anywhere[br]when your life begins." "You find the right person,[br]then... all of a sudden,[br]anything's possible." "I'm eating, Mom." "I'm just trying[br]to figure this out." "Chemistry homework." "Hello?" "LUZ:" "Hola, Mrs. Nunez.[br]Soy Luz." "No estoy a qui." "Don't tell her I'm here." "I told you, Mom,[br]I don't want to talk to her." "Because I don't want to." "Mira." "Tu comida." "I'll eat it later.[br]" "Ay, muchacho." "Yeah!" "Hello?" "Nicole?" "Yeah?" "I need to talk to you." "Who is this?" "You know who this is." "I--I can't hear you." "Where are you?" "What?" "Where are you?" "I--I can't hear you." "Are you at Seller's house?" "I'm just having[br]a good time, OK?" "And you need to focus." "Nicole, I really have to" "Get off the phone and in[br]the hot tub, girl." "Damn!" "Nicole!" "I'm gonna go." "Nicole, I just want to" "Take your time.[br]" "Yeah, hold on." "I'm uncomfortable[br]with myself" "Carlos!" "What's up, Carlos?" "[br]What's up, baby?" "Yo, get him a tequila.[br]Girl, put a titty in his mouth." "Don't you know when to flake" "And I am not doing[br]all right" "And I am not doing[br]all right" "None of this makes sense" "They don't support me..." "Come on, Nicole, let's go." "DAVIS:" "Whoa, stud." "I was just trying[br]to get a taste, man." "Shut up, Davis,[br]before I kick your ass!" "Hey, man,[br]what's your problem?" "You're my problem !" "[br]Get down!" "DAVIS:" "Hey!" "[br]What's your problem, bro?" "Dude,[br]she was having a good time." "GIRL:[br]What's wrong with you?" "DAVIS:[br]I thought I was your friend." "Just leave, you know that?"

"Well, you like horses,[br]don't you?" "When I was eight." "Well, the counselor[br]said that-- he warned me you would try[br]to talk your way out of it." "He said there's a danger of us[br]getting drawn back... into old patterns[br]and destructive behavior... and that we should spend[br]our time focusing on... conversations that focus on[br]"We" versus "Me."" "This is "We."" "Oh." "Well, good." "Good." "I'll go wherever[br]you want me to go." "I mean,[br]I know I'm a mess." "No, you're not a mess." "No, I am." "I am a mess." "And I'd probably[br]send me away, too." "You've got Morgan now... and you're gonna do it[br]right this time." "I just wish[br]I wasn't the child... that everybody learned[br]what not to do from." "That's not who you are." "I know I remind you of Mom." "Everything that went wrong... but sometimes you look at me[br]like you wish I wasn't there." "Like you wish[br]I'd just disappear." "And it just hurts so bad." "I know I'm not easy to love... but could you try anyway?" "I do love you." "I love you so much." "I'm frightened for you[br]every minute." "Every minute." "And I need help." "I can't do it alone." "Tom, honey?" "Morgan's got her swim class.[br]it starts in 10 minutes." "What's going on?" "That's what we're trying[br]to figure out here." "COURTNEY:[br]What do you mean figure out?" "Didn't we agree on[br]a plan of action?" "Rosa?" "Would you please[br]put Morgan in the car?" "Thank you.[br]Yes, right now." "Oh, my God." "This is not gonna start up[br]all over again." "She needs discipline.[br]Children need limits." "They want limits!" "So we'll set them.[br]" "We already have!" "She's going to that school[br]in Utah." "No." "I am not the bad guy.[br]This is not about me." "I have a child[br]that I'm thinking of." "So do I. Two children." "Oh, Nic..." "Nicole, I just don't think[br]I can live with you." "I know I can't live without her." "We have to be at Pepperdine[br]in ten minutes, Tom." "I'm talking to my daughter." "It's Morgan's[br]very first swim class." "I'm talking to my daughter." "Nicole,[br]I just want Morgan... to have an older sister[br]that she can look up to." "Me, too." "That's all right.[br]I've got her now." "She's not like Mom." "No." "God, your mom[br]was an amazing woman." "She loved you very much." "I wish I remembered her better." "Hmm." "We should talk about her more." "We will, honey." "We will." "Before you say anything, sir..." "I just want you to know[br]that I love your daughter, sir." "You don't have to" "She has so much beauty,[br]so much honesty... and I love her so much." "Carlos, stop.[br]Now, I have something to say." "Thank you." "For what?" "For not listening to me." "For sticking around." "Annapolis is gonna be[br]lucky to get you." "But I had a speech." "I had a pretty good speech." "I bet you did." "You want to hear it any ways?" "Why don't you tell it to her?" "Seems to be doing pretty good." "How did that happen?" "How did you do that?" "Do what?" "I wasn't even there." "Yes, you were." "You were so there." "WOMAN I want to believe in" "I want to believe in us" "There are millions[br]of people out there... but, in the end,[br]it all comes down to one." "I still panic sometimes,[br]forget to breathe... but I know..." "I know there's[br]something beautiful... in all my imperfections." "A beauty which he held up[br]for me to see." "A strength that can[br]never be taken away." "I'm going out to see him[br]next week... but until then... there's one photo[br]I keep with me all the time." "I believe in us" "Everyone falls" "But not everyone rises" "Why don't you get up" "And rise again for me" "What if the world[br]were a little more perfect" "Would you stop crying" "Would you take the leap" "Now, what if the world[br]were a little more perfect" "Would you open your eyes" "And blink again for me" "For me" "Yeah, for me" "What about friendship" "What about friends" "You said the whole world[br]was against you it all had to end" "What about love" "What about family" "What about all[br]that you have to live for" "What if the world were[br]a little more perfect" "Would you stop crying" "Would you take the leap" "What if the world were[br]a little more perfect" "Would you open your eyes" "And blink again for me" "For me" "And blink again for me" "For me it isn't easy[br]here without you" "Why did you leave me" "What am I supposed to do" "Without you" "Without you" "And what if the world[br]were a little more perfect" "Would you stop crying" "Would you take the leap" "What if the world were[br]a little more perfect" "Would you open your eyes" "And what if the world[br]were a little more perfect" "Would you stop crying" "Would you take the leap" "What if the world were[br]a little more perfect could you open your eyes" "And blink again for me" "For me" "Ooh" "For me."
