"Lie next to me, Josh." "Come on, Manny." "Lie down." "It's peaceful here." "Yeah." "Kids, this isn't funny." "Sure it is." "How could you possibly think this is funny?" "Come on, Dad." "It's one of those things." "You know?" "It's kind of funny." "Kind of sick." "Come on." "Isn't it funny?" "Us lying next to our dead big sister?" "Like a family portrait?" "And this is how you pay respects?" "Well, this is bullshit." "I'll be in the car." "You want to know what's really bullshit?" "The fact that we might as well all be dead." "Was she all that mattered to you, Dad?" "Mom and Dad know you drink." "They can smell it on your breath, you know?" "Not that they care." "Are you gonna smoke weed?" "Just remember all the brain cells you're killing." "So how do I look?" "Adorable." "Adorable?" "Adorable." "Or not." "Hold on." "I gotta pee." "Sam." "Sam?" "I wish you could come with me." "Samantha?" "I've been looking for you." "I gotta get out of here." "No." "Come on, Josh." "Please?" "The guys here are total losers." "Come dance with me." "Come on." "Fine." "Come on." "You're my brother." "Manny." "Hamlet and the gravedigger talk about the brevity of life and death as the great equalizer." "And it's interesting that this scene is so often cut from productions, because it's crucial to Hamlet's story." "Wouldn't you agree?" "All right." "Now remember, in the beginning, Hamlet is so afraid of his father's ghost and the prospect of his own death." "And now he's playing with Yorick's skull." "That's kind of a quick turnaround, don't you think?" "He's beginning to accept death as an inevitable part of life." "Now, the audience knows that Ophelia's dead, which is an example of?" "Dramatic irony." "Dramatic irony." "Right." "Because Hamlet is unaware." "Now, there's also a lot of mystery surrounding the cause of Ophelia's death." "Gertrude describes it as an accident, but the priest argues that her death was doubtful, and denies her full burial rites by the church." "Now, why would they do that?" "Any thoughts?" "Yes?" "Bathroom?" "Fine." "Any other thoughts?" "Anyone at all?" "Amanda, you are so demented." "I am so out of here." "You coming?" "I guess." "Why are we ditching Mr. Evans' class?" "He's so hot." "Come on." "I'll be your best friend." "You already are." "Katie, Katie, Katie." "I know." "Let's get some coffee." "Now." "Are your parents gonna be home tonight?" "No." "That's nice." "Cutie." "Take my picture." "Come on." "OK." "That's a good one, Sam." "Would you stop doing that?" "It's creepy." "Ryan is the highest boy at Stephens'." "And also the biggest douche bag." "How do you even like Ryan?" "Come on." "Ben likes him." "He just doesn't have a very good reputation." "Why should you be the only girl with a boyfriend?" "You and Ben are legit chained at the hip." "Ben and I aren't the issue here." "Katie, I don't understand where your problem is." "Whatever." "Your brother's a freak." "Hey, Katie." "Hey, Josh." "Afternoon, ladies." "Either I join, or you guys are so busted." "Like Mom and Dad give a shit." "God, she looks just like Samantha." "Smile, Manny." "Creep." "Yeah, that's classy." "Full of class." "That's me." "Yeah." "Ryan here." "Hey, Katie." "Why don't you kiss my brother?" "Why?" "Because I said so?" "Get in there." "Is she a good kisser, Josh?" "See for yourself." "Right." "Nice." "Nice." "You are such a typical guy." "Totally." "Come on." "I love you guys." "You can do it." "What?" "What?" "Do it." "Shut up." "What?" "You are such a perv!" "You're the perv." "Gross." "God." "Katie." "Why don't you just finish what you started?" "This is Mrs. Kildoff from attendance." "Amanda left school early today, and we need you to call as soon as..." "Morning, kids." "Good morning, Dad." "Good morning, Mr. Anderson." "I'll be late." "We should just start, like, a little, like, log of shit, right?" "Just like, like a book with like, every day we have like, one solid idea." "Yeah." "So let's just start." "OK." "All right." "You can't make art without starting, right?" "No, not at all." "All right, let's just fucking start." "Yeah, fucking let's start, man." "OK." "All right." "Out loud, or write them down?" "Out loud." "OK." "Who starts?" "A store full of mannequins comes alive after hours, and they sing and dance." "Well, that sounds like a musical." "No, no." "They'd be like mannequins in the Korova Milk Bar." "Remember?" "Singing and drinking Milk Plus." "To sharpen you up." "Get you ready for a bit of the old ultra violence." "Sounds big budget." "It's cool though, right?" "Less than 10 minutes, right?" "Yeah." "Go." "Yo, yo, hold on a sec, J!" "Hey, they're throwing a party for Mickey, and" "Ryan wants me to come." "He so wants you." "Yes!" "A son tells his parents he wants a sex change operation." "OK." "Wait." "The the father is this, this bull matron sort of macho prick, and he's got no short term memory, so the one has to keep telling him over and over." "Great Santini meets Memento?" "Meets Brokeback Mountain." "Yo, that's dope, dude." "There's a party tonight." "Amanda says we should go." "Not me." "Yeah, you." "Josh, how are we gonna collaborate next year with you in LA and me stuck here in the city?" "Dude." "We write all year and shoot in the summer." "It's simple." "We said we'd go to the same school." "Did I ask you to get rejected?" "Where's your pot?" "In the closet." "It's gonna get pretty boring if you keep it on me." "Well, maybe tonight you'll finally get some, and I'm gonna document it." "Yeah." "Loser gets lucky." "Nice." "High concept." "Give it to me." "I wanna shoot." "Why?" "Give it to me." "No." "No." "Fuck you, then." "All right." "Dude, come on." "You can do it!" "I will be the star." "Welcome to the lifestyles of the rich and obnoxious." "Join us as we experience their champagne wishes and cocaine dreams." "Yo, dude." "Get some of this." "Come on." "Josh." "Ryan's barely even said hi to me." "Well at least I guess Tom got in your throat first thing we got here." "Dance with Seth." "Make him jealous." "Hi, Seth." "Didn't wear my dancing shoes tonight, Manny." "Hi, Seth." "Hey, Katie." "Where's Ben?" "In the bathroom." "With Ryan." "What are you implying?" "Hey, yo!" "Yo, everybody!" "Everyone, listen up!" "Listen..." "listen up." "Where's Mickey?" "Where's Mickey?" "Come on." "What do you give a guy that has everything on his 18th birthday?" "What?" "I don't know!" "What do you give him?" "That's the question." "The answer is you don't." "You don't get anything." "With a guy like Mickey, the best thing to do is to take something away." "That was a thing he should have lost a long time ago." "His virginity!" "Ladies and gentleman, allow me to introduce to you the very beautiful Roxanne!" "I hate him!" "What happened?" "My god, Manny, what happened?" "He totally ditched me." "Forget about him." "Josh, it was so embarrassing." "Manny..." "Help me." "What's going on?" "Hey, Sam." "Is Amanda OK?" "I don't know." "Maybe you could help." "She doesn't talk to me." "You're a good brother, Josh." "What are you doing?" "Filming." "Why?" "Because." "Josh!" "I'm so happy!" "I'm so happy!" "We're done!" "I guess you guys passed your chem final?" "Three whole months without this fucking skirt." "Yeah." "So when are you guys done?" "Well, Brainiac here got the senior exemption on the math final." "I gotta be good at something." "I'm taking it tomorrow." "And then graduation." "Nice." "Yeah!" "Next week." "Yeah!" "Yes!" "Hey, have you guys seen Ben, or..." "There he is." "I gotta go." "Bye, guys." "Amanda, come." "No, that's OK." "You go." "Hey, Seth?" "Can I bum a cigarette?" "Hey, you guys wanna get some coffee?" "We're going to Star-bizzle." "Wanna come?" "Well?" "Bye, guys." "Bye, guys." "What?" "My god, look at Allie." "What a slut." "Who does this?" "I mean, are you really gonna want your grandkids to see you looking like that?" "You're looking good here." "Very much the stud." "Aren't you gonna sign it?" "I only sign for people I'm never going to see again." "What did she write?" "Some crap about how we've both had hard times, and she understands." "Blah, blah, blah." "I think I might tear out the page." "She's just trying to be nice." "Yeah, well she doesn't know what it's like for me." "It's just like I don't know her shit. it's dishonest, you know?" "Got any weed?" "A horse, a horse!" "My kingdom for a horse!" "Greatest line in the history of theater." "We can visit each other in college, for sure." "If you want me to." "Of course I do." "Idiot." "I have to tell you something." "Josh..." "That's a scary way to start a conversation." "So?" "Promise you won't hate me?" "Dude, what could be so awful?" "Are you gay, or something?" "What if I was?" "Fuck." "Why didn't you tell me?" "What, I'm the last one to know, right?" "No!" "My best friend's a faggot, and I'm the last one to know." "Do I look gay?" "Are we talking Elton John, or Tom Cruise gay?" "I'm not gay, Sam." "I know." "But if you were, I'd still love you." "Check it." "This is what got me into film school." "Josh, it's incredible." "She's so beautiful." "Does she speak to you?" "No." "It's my fault." "I never paid much attention to her." "Stop." "Hey." "Can I come in?" "What's the matter?" "Do me a favor?" "Tel me everything you know about Ryan." "I want to know who he hangs out with." "You know, everything." "Ryan and I only have one thing in common." "You." "Stop." "Why do you want him so bad?" "Everyone wants him." "And so that's why you want him?" "Yeah." "It's more like I need him." "He's a dick, Amanda." "I'm not gonna say it again." "He's trouble." "I know it." "I have this dream where I'm in my room at night." "And all these guys start coming in, one by one, and they fuck me." "All of them." "At the same time." "And I like it." "So, I guess I just like trouble." "Come on." "Wouldn't you want to get that on tape?" "I saw you." "Through the door." "I should have had my camera." "Seth!" "Hey man, what's up?" "What's up?" "How have you been, dude?" "I've been waiting here for like, days." "We did the whole family celebratory lunch thing." "Good." "Yeah, it's all good." "They're giving me a bangin' Mac Pro with Final Cut." "With an HD monitor?" "30 inch." "That's dope." "That's tight." "I'm an asshole, man." "Stupid fuck." "I'm sorry." "It's OK." "I'm the asshole." "Dropping that on you like that." "Yeah, well, it freaked me out." "But I, I shouldn't have reacted that way." "I'm sorry." "It's really... it's no big deal, anyway." "Let's forget about the whole thing, OK?" "I'm fine." "Thanks for understanding, man." "Do your parents know?" "My mom." "She says she always knew." "I always knew." "It's a relief to finally admit it." "That must have been a heavy load to carry." "Yeah." "From you, especially." "My dad, too." "I think his reaction's gonna make yours look calm." "The macho fuck." "I'm sorry." "It's OK." "So nobody else knows?" "Not really." "Not really?" "Well, there's this, sophomore, Harry." "Harry the Fairy?" "Don't say that." "You weren't really tutoring him, were you?" "I taught him a lot." "You're fucking Harry?" "Some fucking, yeah, but mostly sucking." "Dude, come on." "Spare me the details." "No." "I will not spare you the details." "I've had to listen to pussy this, and pussy that, and look at that rack since forever." "If we're going to be friends, you're going to have to listen to me, too." "You were worse than me." "I was faking it." "Well, just so you know, I cannot fake any cock talk, all right?" "Someone else knows." "Who?" "Your, your sister, Amanda." "We were at Matt's party last year." "She made a pass at me." "I told her then." "My god." "You really are gay, aren't you?" "I mean, everybody wants to fuck my sister." "I forgot my key." "Where have you been?" "You knew I'd be late." "Fuck you." "You're drunk, Susan." "Fuck you." "This is a $300 shirt." "You sicken me." "Who is she?" "Who is she?" "Who are you fucking?" "Your cell phone called home, and I've got 20 minutes of your good times recorded on this answering machine." "Do you want to hear it?" "I mean, we were walking along outside." "If you had been there..." "Put the paper down." "We're not done yet." "Put the booze down." "You're dangerous when you're drunk." "Which seems to be all the time now, doesn't it?" "Who do you think you are?" "An angry drunk." "That's the worst kind." "Don't." "I am warning you, do not ever hit me again." "Who is she?" "No one." "Big deal." "I went out for drinks after work." "Bullshit." "Who is she?" "Why do you care?" "You admit it." "No." "Why would you care if I am?" "Fuck you." "Yeah." "I doubt it." "You think you cornered the market on suffering?" "You think that maybe for once you could understand that my life ended six years ago?" "Have you ever thought about anyone but yourself since?" "We lost you, too." "I loved her." "We all loved her." "She killed me, too." "She's..." "Our daughter's getting married this weekend." "Marla's very happy, but, I hope she knows what she's in for." "Kids?" "Who's in there?" "Hello?" "Hell..." "My god." "My god!" "Susan!" "Samantha!" "No!" "No, no, no!" "No!" "No!" "Samantha!" "Do you remember when, Mom and Dad went out to the, the Broadway show, the matinee?" "And we got all naked and used Mom's makeup to paint our whole bodies?" "I was a robot." "And I was a tattoo lady." "You got blamed, even though I thought of it?" "What are big sisters for?" "You used to run into my bed every time you had a little nightmare." "You are my Joshy-poo." "Why did you do it, Sam?" "The shrinks say I should be mad at you." "You can be mad if it helps." "What are you doing?" "Nothing." "Waiting up for me?" "Do you need me to help you pack for college?" "No." "I got time." "I'm hardly bringing anything, anyway." "Just the suitcase and my backpack." "That's it." "What more do I need?" "Just me!" "I'm definitely coming with you." "You can't leave me here alone." "You've got Ryan." "You know what I mean." "And you can't leave me here alone with them." "Is he hurting you?" "Don't be such a pussy, Josh." "I like it rough." "It's gonna be fine." "I worry a little." "Can I sleep in here with you tonight?" "Sure." "OK, but let's go to sleep, because I am really exhausted." "OK." "Could you get the light, please?" "Thank you." "Can you not steal all the covers tonight?" "I can make no promises in that regard." "You're a cover monster." "Cover monster." "Joshy-washy." "Manny-Danny." "Yay." "Morning." "Hi." "Remember, we're having dinner with the" "Brahams tonight at 7:30." "You want me to send a car for you?" "That would be nice." "All righty." "Have a good day." "I warned you about Ryan, Manny." "See... it's nothing I can't handle." "But what if you can't?" "I can." "Yeah, but what if you can't?" "I'd kill myself if anything ever happened to you." "It's weird." "When things get messed up sometimes I say to myself, what would Sammy do?" "She would slit her wrists." "Quiet." "Neatly, of course." "No mess for anyone to clean up." "Shut up Manny." "Just drop the body off at the morgue." "Get on with your life." "Stop it." "What a great role model, your big sister." "Get out of my room." "You know what?" "Face it, Josh." "You're never going t a filmmaker." "You're gonna cave like everyone else." "You'll go to business school and get a job you hate." "You'll marry a woman you'll grow to hate." "And have kids, because that's what people do." "You're gonna get fat, go bald, and die wondering what the fuck?" "And then I'm just gonna marry someone who doesn't even understand me." "But I mean, at least he'll buy me lots of expensive things, and keep me in booze and pills, and in a couple of years, I'll probably pop out a couple kids and start the" "whole fucking thing over again." "You know what?" "Actually, I take it back." "Maybe she had the right idea." "Why should we even bother?" "How could she do this?" "Mom's an alcoholic, Josh." "Alcoholics drink too much." "What happened?" "She tore the house up." "You know how she gets." "But do they know their father?" "Do they know their father is screwing Karen in the European" "Equities division?" "Susan." "After Samantha, he promised me he'd stop screwing his secretary." "After all, she's the one who caught them." "She is out of her mind." "Is that true?" "Your father is a man of his word, my dear." "He dumped Sharon." "But he's been fucking Karen ever since." "First Sharon, then Karen." "It rhymes." "Who's next, Mark?" "You did that in front of Sammy?" "Where are you going?" "Hey." "Dad." "No, no no." "Get out of my way, Josh." "Sorry." "Dad!" "Dad!" "Fuck you, OK?" "Fuck you man!" "You're a fucking disgrace!" "How could you fucking do this to us?" "Dad!" "Come on, man." "Please just talk to me." "Please." "Yo, Seth." "Is there any way we could hang out?" "Cool." "No, actually." "I'm right downstairs." "Yeah." "OK." "All right man." "Yo, check me out!" "I'm Ryan." "My god." "Wait, dude." "This is good." "This is good but you forgot one thing here." "It's the face." "Yeah!" "He does do that face!" "No!" "And you know when he does it like, when nobody's there, right?" "And he's all..." "He knows everybody's watching." "Yo you've got it, dude." "And the pants are out." "Yeah." "Survey the crowd." "Yeah." "Just check out..." "Stop!" "Yo, you got anymore?" "No." "No more alcohol for you." "But I've been saving something for a rainy day." "One for me." "And one for thee." "Rakim is the best for the simple reason that he was the first." "I mean, to combine syllables, patterns, and, and technical construction, all, all with a panoramic third eye?" "Come on." "I mean, he was the first." "All these other guys, they rap on the premise that Rakim originated." "You know what I'm saying?" "Like, like he, he created from, from a blank canvas while these other guys, they just took the baton from there and continued on." "So to say that someone is better, just, you know..." "Dude, shut up." "You're white." "That's racist." "Hostility over here." "I mean, a lot of people would say, a lot of people, a lot of people would say, but he was a one syllable man." "Another great rapper was Cool-G guy." "Yeah." "Who, heavily..." "Pardon the pun, heavily built up Big Pun's success." "Hold on." "The bastard's got my stash." "No." "Come on." "We don't need it." "Besides, I, I got something better, anyway." "Yeah, come on." "What?" "So..." "I was..." "With my, Mom and Dad." "Did you know my Mom..." "Did you know she was in the hospital?" "Alcohol poisoning." "And my dad, man." "He's cheating on her." "I know." "I didn't know." "And so we found out they're just fucked up." "So I like, tried to talk to hi." "On the street." "You know, he just didn't..." "He didn't want to talk to me." "So he just got in a cab, and sailed away." "He'll come back." "Naw." "I doubt it." "Anyway, he wouldn't need to." "We've got Mom to take care of us." "When she's not slipping off into a coma." "Not funny, Josh." "Yeah, I know." "Anyway, who cares about me?" "I'm leaving next week." "It's Manny you've got to worry about." "I'll keep my eye on her." "Thanks, man." "I would do anything for you." "You know that, right?" "Yeah." "Just remember, she likes to dance." "This shit." "I'm sorry, man." "I'm scared I really fucked up." "Squeeze." "Harder." "Harder!" "Come on." "Harder!" "Come on!" "Wait, that hurts!" "Come on!" "You're hurting me." "I'm not gonna hurt you." "Wait, you are hurting me." "No!" "What's up?" "You look horrible." "You were right." "Am I hurting you?" "No." "Good." "I'll kill him if you want." "What are we gonna do?" "It's gonna be OK." "But you're leaving." "It's just too weird." "Maybe I won't go." "No." "No, you're going." "Or I'll kill you." "And you're gonna meet a nice girl in college." "I love you, Joshy." "I love you too, Manny." "No." "You can have what's left of me." "No." "No." "Stop." "I hate you!" "I hate you!" "I hate you!" "I hate you!" "I hate you!" "I hate you!" "The way I mean" "I've got everything packed up." "Erase it." "Why?" "Erase everything." "The pictures, the videos." "Everything about me." "Don't save a thing, Josh." "It's too..." "Just please, erase everything." "All right." "Thanks." "It's better that way." "I don't know if I can find the words, the right words, to let you know how sorry I am." "But I want you to know that if you want, I want to be there for you." "Fuck." "Hey." "So, this is about my 10th take." "Everything I said sounds so trite, I-I don't, I don't think I'm ever gonna get this right." "Manny?" "Manny?" "Hey." "Hey." "They're sending Mom home tomorrow." "She wants us to pick her up." "What about her husband?" "He's gone." "He's not coming back, either." "You know that." "And I'm leaving for LA on Wednesday." "Yeah, well Mom and I can hold down the fort." "I've got to get of here, Manny." "Am I asking you to stay?" "Two more years, and you're out." "It's like I'm doing time." "Except you haven't done anything wrong." "No?" "Go." "I wasn't gonna..." "Go." "Get out." "Manny..." "Get out of my room." "Why are you do..." "Get out of my room!" "I was just trying to..." "Get out of this state!" "Get out of my life!" "Yeah." "It's right here, please." "Hi." "Can you give this to Seth when you see him?" "Thanks." "Josh!" "Off you go." "Yeah." "It's gonna be hell around here without you." "It was hell around here with me." "Guess I should go." "Yeah." "Bye, Joshy." "Family weekend's in October, OK?" "You'd better come." "Bye, Manny-fanny." "Bye, Joshy-washy." "Hold on a second." "OK, I'm ready."
