"I know what you're saying..." "Relax, don't fight it, it's out of your control, it will all be over soon enough." "And that is where faith comes in." "Get your hands off of me!" " Calm down!" " Who the hell are you?" "I mean, we're born alone... we die alone." "But for some reason, you make us live together." "Will you ever do something miraculous, something tangible, something to save us from ourselves?" "Or are you just up there laughing on your throne, dangling some lifeline that we'll never really get to see?" ""The Things We Didn't Plan"" "Transcripted by chamallow35" "I'm afraid my daughter is going to die." "She's struggled for years with her... with her problem." "But today she didn't show up for her father's funeral." "What is she using?" "She's a..." "She's a, uh..." "A heroin addict." "A heroin addict." "You can say it." "No one else can hear you." "Yes, we are twins, luckily not identical." "The reading of the will is in two days." "Can you get her sober before that?" "Why is that important to you?" "Well, she stands to inherit millions of dollars." "And if she does," "I'm afraid it'll be the death of her." "I want my daughter back, before it's too late." "When was the last time you saw her?" "Maybe three months ago..." "She was arrested for prostitution." "Mommy bailed her out." " Pasadena's a very small town." " My sister had every possible advantage and she squandered everything." "Any idea where to start looking?" "Yeah." "I hope you like strip clubs." "The trust will send you a check." "Hey." "What's up?" "Greg's here." "From Hawaii." "There, at the house?" "Just as surprised as I am, believe me." "Okay." "Uh..." "What do you want me to do?" "So, uh..." "Why don't you come over for dinner?" " He's already ordered indian." " Okay." "Yeah, I'll be right over." "Okay, great." "Is William coming home?" " Yeah." " Nice." "I was hoping maybe that, uh, we could have some time to talk." "Yeah." "He's really excited to see you." "Hey, guys." "The door was unlocked." "Hey, Anybody for halwa?" " Hey!" "My brother." " Hey..." "What's going on?" "Man, it's been way too long." "Yeah, man." "It's so funny because I was just thinking the other day about our trip to..." " Bali." " Yes!" "And, uh..." "Remember that one morning?" "That stoner captain left us in the line-up and forgot about us." "Oh, man." "Perfect offshore winds." "Ten-foot faces." "Stand-up barrels, spitting in our faces all day till that sunset turned..." " Bright purple!" " Yeah." "Why?" "Because..." "Alice in Wonderland, baby." "Those mushrooms were..." "Oh, man, they were..." "Forget that." "It was, uh..." "It's been way too long, man." "You look good." "It's good to see you, brother." "So, how long are you in town for, man?" "Oh, for about a week, you know?" "I'm trying to buy a majority share" " in Epoch Surfwear." " Nice." "You get me some free swag?" "Me, too?" "All that you want." "No..." "Thanks, we're fine, Greg." "So, uh, where you, uh..." " Where you planning on staying?" " Oh, I told Amanda that I would just crash here, with you and the kids." "Home sweet home." "Yeah, I'd say something about feng shui, but I'd hate to trigger an earthquake." "Yeah, it looks better in the dark, huh?" "Smelled the same." "So, the, uh, the kids seemed great." "You know, Melissa, too." "Beautiful as ever." "Still doesn't seem to, uh, like me too much, though." "Oh, I wouldn't take it personally, brother." "I think it's just that you remind her of who I used to be." "Right." "So, how are you holding up?" "Uh, it's a bit tough." "Can't lie about that." "A lot harder than I thought it would be." "But, hey, you don't..." "You don't have to crash here, you know, for me." "If you want to get a suite at the mondrian, hell, I'll come crash on your couch." "Hey." "I'm honored to stay with you, bro." "Even if it were in a cardboard box, you know that." "All right." "Besides, if Amanda knew I was staying in a hotel, she would kill me." " Boss man." " Yeah?" "Uh, this..." "You guys want me to get you some dream catchers or some incense or something?" "You know, I can still get a line on the good shit." "Greg, meet swenton, who almost doesn't work for me." "Hey, I'm good with the incense, but if you get a line on some patchouli oil, I'm down." "I think we found her." "And it wasn't at a strip club." "Give me a minute." "We found amber online..." "Used toasters, stray dogs, washed-up crack hos." "I love online classifieds." "Holy shit." "Greg Gaynor?" "2005 big wave surfing champion." "You rode a 64-foot todos santos monster, right?" "Ah, it was only half that big, you know?" "In hawaii we still measure a wave from the back." "Yeah, well, when it's just plain huge, you don't have to measure it, but that's just from experience." "All right." "Moving on." " We got an address on the mark?" " Uh, better." "Pimp's going to drop her off on our doorstep in 20 minutes." "She's going to do a little exotic dancing." " My idea." " I figured, you know, we'd play a married couple looking for a little excitement." " His idea." " Wait a minute." "You're bringing the pimp here?" "You guys out of your minds?" "It's bringing the devil to the doorstep." "Her idea." "All right, look." "See if she has any track marks." "Once we find out if she's using, we grab her, but we keep it professional, understood?" "Can I help?" "No, we got it handled." "You better take care of yourself and start shooting some speed with that shit." "Come on." "Wake up, Amber." "We got five more after this." "Here." "Smoke this." "Get ready." "Come on." "Looking good." "Can we see more?" "Amber, you like to party?" "I like to make money." "You're not holding anything?" "Am I not enough for you?" "Yeah, let's see some more." "Could we turn the lights out?" "No." "I like them on." "And I like to watch." "Oh, okay, well..." "If you turn the lights out, you can do anything that you want." "Yeah?" "How about..." "For one of these?" "I got her." "Jim!" "Jim!" "What the hell's going on here?" "Son of a bitch!" "William, is this a bad time?" "$900..." "A thousand." "She's off your roster?" "She's used up anyway." "That's a good answer." "Count it again." "Nice whip." "Yeah, Mrs. Dreyer, this is William Banks." "Just wanted to let you know that we have Amber and she is as good as can be expected." "I'm going to need a couple of days to get her clear, so please, no visitors until I let you know otherwise." "I'll call you soon with an update." "Thanks." "Thanks a lot, babe." "Yeah." "It's the least I could do for your friend." " Right." " William." "She's freaking out." "So..." "I didn't know." "About you and William." "Now you do." "You want to talk about it?" "I'm fine, Greg." "You happy?" "Starting to be." "Well, don't feel guilty for enjoying yourself." "You deserve it." "Everyone does." "Right." "There you go." "I mean, if you want to talk about anything, I'm a good listener." "I got it handled." "Maybe grab a cup of coffee?" "How come you don't like me?" "I just don't like what happens when you come around, Greg." "I haven't used for almost six years." "I know." "And William is really impressed by that." "What's that supposed to mean?" "It means he thinks you walk on water, and I think you walk on people." "Stop, please!" "Please wait!" "I will do anything you want." "Yeah?" "You're gonna do anything I want?" "How about you spin your head around and vomit green jell-o?" "I think that would be really cool." "You have no idea what you're missing." "I'll take it from here." "Oh, thank you." "She is all yours, captain." "Wait..." "Please!" "You're going to crash hard and fast and it's going to hurt." "Please, I need a hit." "Nighty-night." "Hey." "Everything okay?" "Your friend, Greg..." "Yeah?" "He hit on me." "What?" "No." "Come on." "What did he do?" "He just asked me out for coffee, but it wasn't even that." "It was the way he..." "Look, I'll..." "I'll talk to him." "William, I know this..." "It might be weird." "I mean, we're not together and he's your friend and I..." "No, look, i'll..." "I'll talk to him." "Okay?" "Okay." "Okay." "Good night." "Good night." " Hard to predict." " Never can tell." "Is it even worth going out?" "It's always worth going out, bro." "Dip my head in the ocean as the sun rises is the closest thing to perfect I know." "It's never perfect." "I remember that guy with the ponytail." "Used to score from him almost ten years ago." "Some things never change, right?" "Yeah, seeing you brings back memories, bro." "You okay with that?" "I'm not going to lie, we had some good times." "So many girls." "You hit on my wife?" "What?" "Did you hit on my wife?" "No, I didn't hit on her, man." "She told me that you did." "I just asked her if she wanted to go grab a cup of coffee." "Why would you do that?" "To talk about you guys." "Trying to do you a solid, bro." "That's the truth of the matter." "You don't believe me?" "You got everything under control, man?" "What are you talking about?" "Why do you gotta stay with me?" "How come you can't stay at a hotel?" "You got a problem again?" "With what?" "Straight up, brother, I'm good." "Now, come on, let's go get wet." "I thought I said no visitors." "What have you done to her?" "And this is the easy part?" "I've seen worse." "Much worse." "Good for you." "Can I talk to you a minute?" "Are you married?" " I'm divorced." " Kids?" "Two." "But I lost custody." "My ex is an ass." "I've got two of my own." "Going through a separation myself." "It's tough." "But at least you've got, uh, money and a nice place to live, right?" "I don't need your advice." "Not saying you do." "Then don't patronize me." "I'm just talking." "I'm not your client." "You honestly think you can save her?" "Anybody who wants to be helped, I believe, can be helped." "You're one of those, huh?" "You know, it seems like you want your sister to fail." "She already has failed." "It's just a matter of how much more pain she's going to cause my family." "We could, uh, you know, grab a cup of coffee or if you surf..." "Are you hitting on me, Greg?" "I'm married." "Kids." "Let me guess... the wife doesn't surf or drink coffee, right?" "Hey, how's she doing?" "Better." "I took off her restraints." "Okay, what about the chloral hydrate?" "Ease her off slowly." "But remember, we have to have her coherent for tomorrow afternoon." "Got a surprise for you." "Yeah, I was, uh, I was saving it for when I left, but, uh..." "Wow." "Old school." "Single fin, man." "Yeah, I brought it from Hawaii." "I made it for you." "You made this?" "First board shaped by these hands in almost ten years, man." "Beautiful, wow." "When did you have the time to do that, man?" "I made the time." "It's unbelievable, really." "Thank you." "I appreciate the gesture." "Your friendship means the world to me, brother." " It's the least I can do." " Let me go!" " William!" " Damn it, bitch!" " Get your hands off of me!" " William!" " Who the hell are you?" "!" " William!" "Asswipe, let me go!" "Just relax." "I wake up in alcatraz and you want me to relax?" "!" "Watch out for the IV." "You better hope I don't have hiv!" "Get me out of here!" "Sedative, now!" "Get the sedative in her now." "Down your throat!" "Settle." "Rip your head off like a chicken just take it easy." "Okay." "I'll stay with her." "What the hell is this?" "!" "Let me out, you son of a..." "Now, your mom says you had six years of cotillion?" "Well, I don't expect you to remember how to fox-trot, but I do expect some manners." "This is my house." "Yes, it's true, you have been abducted by a caveman." "The good news is you're safe." "Try and grab a surf later?" "Hey." "Uh, maybe, you know, it depends on Amber." "Yeah, she seems better." "How would you know?" "I just checked on her." "Swenton's in with her now." " Hey." " I pulled them off the rack." "Put my money on the register." "It was your money actually." "Looking good." ""Gidget goes to rehab."" "Hey, good luck at Epoch Surfwear." "So, how you feeling?" "Like shooting a truckload of junk, running for the hills and going to sleep forever." "No, but seriously, how are you really feeling?" "Listen, your family hired me to get you sober." "My family doesn't care about me." "More than you think." "Yeah, what about Ruby?" "She's worse than I am, just looks different on her." "Maybe, but you're my client." "Yeah, 'cause everyone's always pointing their fingers at me." "No one's pointing anything, all right?" "In fact, everyone's got their arms open for you." "It's too late for that." "Where were they when I needed them?" "They said they tried." "Yeah, but they never cared." "Look, why don't you give them a chance, okay?" "Just give yourself a chance." " I can't quit." " Yes, you can." "I can help you do this." "What makes you qualified?" "I know a path." "Yours?" "Big enough for two." " You don't know me." " I know you." "No, I'm disgusting." "You're lost." " I'm a hooker." " You're scared." " Junkie." " You're beautiful." "Thank you." "Amber..." "Oh, you look so good." "Oh!" "You look like mommy's daughter again." "Mommy, don't do this, please." "Ready to start?" "Uh, Ruby will be here in a moment." "Not really necessary." "So, if you prefer..." "Yes, just do it, please." "Okay." "All right." "Here." ""I empower my wife, Patricia Dreyer, as executor of my estate." "I leave to her our home to live in and enjoy during her lifetime."" "Sorry." " It's okay, sweetie." " I had to drop off" " the kids, breakfast with..." " Ruby, it's okay." "Sit down, sweetheart." "It's good to see you, Ruby." ""Upon the death of my wife," "I leave the house in full to my daughter, Amber..."" "What?" ""..." "Amber Dreyer, in hope of her recovery and long, fruitful life." "To my daughter, Ruby, and my wife, Patricia," "I leave equal share of the family trust."" "How much is that?" "Mrs. Dreyer..." "I'm sure your husband spoke to you about the trust." "James promised that we'd be taken care of." "That's all he ever said." "I'm sorry but there's nothing left." "Oh, that's not possible." "We had to break the trust to take care of his gambling debt years ago." "Your husband lost everything." "Everything except the house." "Well, you finally did it!" "You took everything for yourself, you selfish bitch!" "I have a prescription." "I didn't say anything." "I'm so sorry, Ruby." "Mommy will do anything I can." "I need that house." "I have nothing left." "I'm totally broke." "I have some savings." "I can help a little." "I waited my entire life for that inheritance." "I did everything he wanted, and Amber gets everything." "Well, Amber can sell it." "Mommy has to live in it, okay?" "It's not mine until she's gone." "Mommy, you can live with me." "Don't manipulate her." "Says the heroin addict who abandoned her." "Who abandoned everyone." "Dad felt sorry for you, but I don't." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, Ruby." "I know you must be upset..." "I have been the one holding this family together while you did whatever you wanted!" "Let's go." "Did she tell you her big lie yet?" "Because she will when she wants something from you." "You can't be an addict for no damn reason, huh?" "You have to blame it on someone else." "Amber lies." "She lies for drugs." "She uses sex for drugs and she always has." "If anything happened to her, it was her fault." "Amber, come with me now." "It's time to go." "God!" " I can't breathe." " All right, you're gonna be okay." "Just relax, okay?" "Close your eyes." "Think of someplace peaceful." "I don't know any place like that." "Thanks for taking me here." "You feeling better?" "You sure?" "I didn't lie." "Didn't say that you did." "Yeah, I know what you're thinking." "I doubt that." "But if you want to talk about it." "What's surfer dude's story?" "He was ranked number one in the world as a teenager, started smuggling kilos in surfboard blanks, got into crack, lost everything, got clean, found a program that worked, and now, as you can see, he's back on top of the world." "I was 13." "Daddy used to have these..." "Parties." "Mommy hated it, but he did whatever he wanted." "Always young girls in the jacuzzi, not much older than me and Ruby." "His best friend used to sneak me champagne, pot, blow, make me laugh." "Then..." "Well, then that wasn't as fun for him as having sex with me." "I'm sorry." "Ruby told mommy I lied to get attention." "What about your mom?" "She couldn't have done anything anyway." "She can't even stand up for herself." "Your father was an addict?" "Alcohol, girls, gambling." "The money hid a lot of it, but..." "Your mom hid more." "I never had a real family." "May have looked good, but it wasn't." "You ever talk to anyone about it?" "You." "Hey, hey." "How was it?" "Caught a couple fun ones out there." "Not bad." "How are ya?" "Give me a minute." "I think you're doing, uh, pretty damn good." "Really?" "Oh, yeah, totally." "I've been there." "I mean, I don't have all the answers, but, uh, I've been there." "Wish I had sobriety like you guys." "Let's go, Amber." "Whoa." "You want some of this?" "You know what I want." "Amber." "You're right about my sister." "Right about what?" "She's not the enemy, she just needs help." "And?" "You need to help her." "Help my sister." "I need to help you first." "You already have." "Not even close to being done." "Well, the rest is up to me, right?" "That's true." "Then help Ruby." "Look, I'll look into it, but we need to worry about you for right now." "Go get dressed." "You worried about a little ding?" "Well, you know, I like to fix things that can be fixed." "So, what's, uh, what's your plan?" "I have a, uh, business dinner." "I'm gonna leave right after you do." "Cool." "Good luck." "Hey, thanks, brother." "You get what you want, I get what I want." "What are you doing?" "It-it wasn't me." "It was her, man." "It was her idea." "It wasn't me." "I saw you at the beach." "She asked me to." "I saw you when we got back." "I need your help, man." "Please, I need your help." "You bring drugs into my house?" "You put this little girl's life at risk?" "You better get the hell out of here, man, before I bust you up." "I'm sorry." " Please, I need your help." " Get out." "Thank you for meeting me here." "What's this all about?" "Is Ruby inside?" "I haven't bothered her yet." "I don't quite understand." "We need your permission to take her in." "To take her?" "Oh, you're quite mistaken if you think Ruby has a problem." "Maybe I'm wrong." "Who is it?" "Ruby, I work for William Banks." "Mommy, did you hire them?" "Of course not, sweetheart." "Just show him that you're fine, and he'll be gone." "Okay?" "Ruby, what pills are you taking?" "It's none of your business." "From what I can see, your daughter's addicted to opiates." "She needs our help." "You've got the wrong idea about her." "And I want you to leave, please." "Ruby?" "Ruby?" "Where is everything?" "It's gone." "Everything is gone." "Oh, Ruby." "I'm sorry." "Mommy, no, no, no, no, no!" "Mommy!" "Mommy, no, no, no!" "Mommy!" "Mommy, I just need help!" "Mommy..." "Mommy..." "Mommy..." "Oh, no." "Oh, no." "I'm sorry." "You stole your father's pain medication." "I need it, mommy." "What's up with Greg?" "What happened?" "Where's Ruby?" "She's not coming." "Is she okay?" "No, she's probably worse off than Amber." "Oh, somebody finally believes me." "Amber is addicted to heroin, and she's going to die unless something changes." "Ruby is addicted to oxycodone, and she's going to die." "What can I do?" "Make yourself accountable." "How?" "You need to tell them you want them to get the help they need." "You need to tell them the truth about your part in it." "I wanted to believe so badly that it wasn't true." "You knew about Amber." "I was in a very, very bad place." "And I kept telling James," "I said, "these parties are getting out of control."" "The drugs..." "The sex." "I didn't know how to make it better." "Now, it's too late." "It's never too late." "I don't deserve to be a mother." "Mrs. Dreyer, you are a mother." "And those two girls, they deserve to have one." "What can I do?" "You need to tell your daughters what you told me." "You need to make a stand." "Right here, right now." "But I can't do this on my own." "I can't." "We'll do it together." "You've got five seconds to open this door." "It's 2:00 in the morning!" "One, five." "Ruby?" "Get out of my house!" " Ruby?" " No!" "I'll sue you!" "I will call a lawyer!" "Do you know who I am?" "!" "I went to harvard!" "All right, here's what's gonna happen, all right." "Plan a, you're going to come with me to detox so I can start to get you better, all right?" "Look, I know you're in a lot of pain." "All right, I know you're scared." "I know that you think this is the last thing that's best for you, but I know otherwise." " All right, or there's plan b." " You're a piece of shit." "You better make it a good one, you got one left." "I want my mommy!" "Mommy's right here, sweetheart." "I'm right here." "Please let this man help you." "Please." "It's okay." "Give me your hand." "It's okay." "It's all right." " I'm sorry." " Don't be sorry." "Hey, Ruby." "Ruby, I'm here." "I'm here." "It's going to be okay." "You left me all alone." "I had nobody." "I know." "Hey." "I'm so sorry." "I need you." "I won't leave again." "Really?" "I know what you're saying..." "Relax, don't fight it, it's out of your control." "What is broken can be made whole." "What is dirty can become clean." "You know where you need to go." "Get help." "And resentment can become forgiveness." "And maybe, just maybe, it can shape the future." "And I have faith in that."
