"Who Sienna?" "She was getting on my nerves then I shot her and dumped her in the woods" "Big fuckin' nuisance always getting in my way" "I'm kidding" "She wanted to walk from the main road" "Guess what?" "I brought you something" "So what do you do up here with yourself?" "Oh, nothing much." "I paint" "Al" "I'd like you to meet the cat that finally tamed me" "Hi" "I'm Al" "Your call" "Has Sienna ever modeled?" "In what sense?" "I want to paint her" "What, in the nude?" "Well" "Yeah" "She won't be crazy about the idea" "She may look like the wild, anything-goes type but she's actually..." "What's the word?" "Conditional" "Traditional" "Conventional" "Well, I'll paint a conventional nude then" "Your stuff sell?" "All of it" "Who to?" "My..." "My sister" "What she do with them?" "Hang them, I guess."

"She must have run out of wall space years ago" "I need a business partner, Al" "Ivan:" "I need someone to set up a Toronto office" "Someone I can trust" "Al:" "So that's why you're here" "Ivan:" "Hey, if you want to make a little money while you're still kicking you gotta go with the flow snag some of the action plug into the big-city circuit" "Ah, I don't know" "It's too much pollution" "Too mu..." "You're holding back because of a bit of smog?" "No, no." "It's like bullshit pollution." "Bullshit pollution?" "You just make that up?" "You planning on spending your entire life here?" "That's quite a long weekend, Al." "You gotta get out there and work" "Network" "Meet people" "Make money" "Take risks" "Do things" "What are you going to think the second before you die?" "That you spent your entire life living alone in a cottage" "That's it?" "That's the gist of your life?" "Your only fucking life?" "You gotta look ahead" "Think of your future" "I wouldn't get you into this unless I knew there was going to be a big payoff" "In a few years you'll be able to buy a freakin' island in Mustokie" "Muskoka" "Wherever" "Al:" "So what do you want me to do?" "Ivan:" "Sell the cottage" "Sienna:" "I don't want to do this anymore" "Why can't I just leave now and meet you later when your finished?" "Ivan:" "I need you" "Just be patient" "He's a pig" "I'm like a cheap whore in his eyes" "You are not cheap" "He's harmless" "He just doesn't know how to behave in public... around women" "Ivan:" "Come on!" "Say it!" "Sienna:" "Ivan, don't!" "Ivan:" "Slut!" "Say it!" "You're my God!" "My immortal God!" "Like some company?" "What's the matter, Al?" "What's the matter, Al?" "Can't look now that I'm up close?" "Where's Sienna?" "In the shower" "Where were you?" "I" " I had to get my pills" "Your pills?" "They have quite an effect on you" "I" " I" " I didn't..." "You couldn't wait" "You just had to go in for a look, huh?" "No..." "I" " I..." "Don't fuck with me, Al!" "You're not going to fuck with me, right?" "No... right" "You can look" "You can look from a distance" "A very safe distance!" "But you can't lay a finger on her not while I'm alive" "You hear?" "No... ye..." "I don't care if you whack yourself silly just keep your creepy fingers to yourself" "You got that, friend?" "Yes" "I can't hear you" "Yes!" "If I ever catch you doing anything like this again behind my back" "I'm going to rip your little monkey off!" "Yeah, everything's been taken care of" "Just give him the cabbage and I'll pay you when you get here" "Well it's a fine fucking day" "I said, it's a fine fucking day!" "I invited a few friends" "They're just traveling through, I hope you don't mind" "Yes" "I don't mind" "Be nice to have a few fresh faces around here" "Lorenzo" "I'd like you to meet my good pal, Al" "I don't think we've met" "I'm Carmen" "I used to date Lorenzo 'til I found out he was gay" "Charmed" "Look at the pearl and get the girl" "Pick the stash and win some cash" "Easy as pie" "Beautiful lady, here's a dollar" "It's free." "Why don't you try it?" "How 'bout you, blondie?" "Okay, a dollar." "One dollar" "Goes and goes and there you go" "Hey, we got a winner" "There is your lucky looney" "I won." "You see that?" " Do it again" " I won" "You are going to win" "Ten dollars" "Ten dollars on the rock" "And choose" "Aw, dumb luck" "Why don't you go again" "Double of nothing" "Come on buddy" "Here's the pearl" "Why don't you want the girl" "Okay" " I bet a hundred" " Ivan, can we go?" "There goes the hundred" "Not now" "Ivan" "Later" "What are you waiting for?" "Okay, let's go for a hundred" "Here, here, here" "And choose" "I had that one!" "I had it" "You're fuckin' cheating me!" "Here's the pearl." "Why don't you double?" "A thousand" "I bet you a thousand you can't beat me again" "Ivan, don't!" "Please" "Shut up" "Don't tell me to shut up" "Is it you're fuckin' money?" "No!" "Shut up!" "Listen to your girlfriend, Buddy" "A thousand dollars is a lot of cash" "What are you talking about?" "It's only fuckin' money" "Only paper if you don't bet it, right?" "Here we go." "For a thousand" "Find the pearl" "Well..." "Looks like we have a winner" "Double or nothing?" "You're first" "I don't want to play" "We're all playing" "I get to go again" "No" "There's no discrimination, here" "We have to respect the laws of this fine country" "And there's a five second minimum" "What?" "Those are the rules, Ivan" "Canadian rules" "It's not like we have to get married" "Four" "Three" "Two" "One" "Okay, cut it out" "That's enough!" "Hit me" "Can we discuss this in a civilized manner?" "That might require two civilized people" "Ha." "I guess that leaves you out" "Oh, I just can't compete with those incredibly shallow comebacks of yours" "Everything's shallow to you" "Ever wonder why that is?" "All the fuckin' time" "Now just shut your trap and pack your crap" "Don't tell me to shut up and don't tell me what I have to do" "Hey Al, we should keep in touch" "What's your email address?" "Okay, I want you to come" "I want to stay" "Fine, then" "You're not coming?" "Don't come!" "Stop playing games, Ivan" "I don't have one" " I have a phone number" " We're leaving." "End of story" "Roll the fuckin' credits!" " That works" " Where?" "The city." "New York" "We've been here long enough" "I don't want to go" "I like it here" "How long did you think we were going to stay?" "I didn't know there was a limit" "There are limits!" "Ivan, I know what the limits are" "But you have to trust me" "I can't be by your side every single minute of the day" "Fine" "Then that's how it's going to end?" "You stay!" "I'm leaving!" "Stop being so childish" "I'm not childish" "You are!" "Shut up" "Sienna..." "Are you okay?" "When was the last time you had a girlfriend?" "I don't think I ever had a girlfriend" "How long do you have to be with someone before you start calling them a girlfriend?" "I don't know." "It depends." "Usually a few days is all it takes." "How many?" "Five or six" "Do you want me to be your girlfriend?" "Yeah" "Okay" "Hello" "Al" "Yeah" "It's Ivan" "Ivan" "Where is she?" "Who?" "Who fuck" "Sienna" "Where's Sienna?" "No where" "In bed" "Sleeping" "Is she okay?" "She was a little upset" "Wake her up" "What is it?" "Nothing" "I just wanted to hear your voice" "You're a silly man" "She's not getting up" "Why don't you call back tomorrow morning, Ivan" "Yeah." "You're right" "I don't know what's wrong with me" "I just really love her, you know?" "Did you say something?" "No, I was on the phone" "Was it Ivan?" "Wrong number" "Happens all the time" "Can you believe that guy?" "The guy at the diner" "I ask him, I say" "I want a club sandwich, please" "No mayo" "I'm allergic to mayo" "Well, I mean, I'm not break-out-in-a-wild-rash allergic to mayo but I don't do mayo" "So he says fine and he leaves" "What does he come back with?" "Right" "So I open the sandwich and I'm like look I thought I asked for no mayo and he's like, it's not mayo and I'm like well, it sure looks like mayo" "Get this..." "He said it's Miracle Whip" "I'm like, what's the difference?" "He's like, there is a difference" "I'm like, okay, so then what is it?" "He gets all uppity and he's like, look lady you're going to pay for this sandwich whether you eat it or not and I'm like look buddy it's not about the money it's the mayo, stupid" "and he's like, I'm going to have to ask you to leave" "I'm like, wouldn't that just break my frickin' heart" "That your bike?" "My husband had a bike" "God bless him swerved to miss one of those little... you know, those little bunnies that cross the road you know, the one's with the ears that... hop across the road." "Anyway... he met head on with a tractor trailer and they had to actually peel him off the grill" "Do I know you?" "I..." "No" "No, you don't" "So do you miss him?" "Who?" "So, where are you taking me?" "Man..." "Now that's a nice view" "We're parking' it here tonight, boys" "Heard there was a party going on" "You must be a Libra" "You guessed wrong" "Gemini" "You're a Gemini" "Know how I know?" "Scorpios know everything" "And stop at nothing" "Don't take this personally, Scorp... we prefer to be alone" "You and the chump?" "He's my boyfriend" "I'm sorry to hear that" "Gi'me me a kiss and I'll leave" "I can't" "Not on the first date" "Gi'me a kiss anyway" "No!" "No, please!" "Stop it!" "Stop" "Stop" "Did you say something, little man?" "I want you to let her go" "All right, I'll let her go" "I'm going to smash your puny face" "Who the fuck... are you?" "I'm her husband" "Hey, man, uh..." "like..." "I didn't know she had a husband, uh..." "I mean she doesn't look like, uh..." "You know, uh..." "I'm really sorry, man, like, uh..." "I" " I apologize" "I showed him" "You sure did" "He'll think twice before messing with someone's woman" "That's one possibility" "I bet you he's on steroids" "He's got something" "What's going on, Al?" "What are you doing here?" "I tried to call." "Why was the phone unplugged?" "The place was a mess" "Have you been sleeping in every bed?" "I had visitors" "Who?" "What kind of visitors?" "They're friends" "And what did they want?" "They're old friends" "And they suddenly arrive here out of the blue" "Have you been taking your medication?" "He made me an offer" "What kind of offer?" "A job" "What kind of job?" "Shipping and receiving" "And what do you know about shi..." "I couldn't find your pills, Alan." "Where are they?" "I threw them away" "You what?" "I don't need them anymore" "Don't you think we should ask Dr. Clarke whether you need them anymore?" "I don't care what Dr. Clarke says all he's going to do is pump me full of pills any..." "Alan!" "I am going to get very angry and upset and disappointed with you" "I don't care." "I mean..." "You know, I want to" " I just wanna s..." "I want to sell this place" "You want to sell this place?" "Well, Alan, if you recall, I already bought your half from you when you came back from China 30,000 dollars in debt" "Do you need more money, is that it?" "Have you been working?" "Because I don't see any new work" "It's difficult, okay?" "I" " I" " I'm busy." "I..." "Well, I'm not about to sell this place for anything ever" "Besides where would you go?" "I" " I'd move to the city" "You can't move back with me, Alan" "You know what happened the last time" "I have enough on my hands" "I'd get my own place" "With what?" "My new job" "Alan..." "Alan..." "Let's take a drive into town and we'll stop by the pharmacy and we'll pick you up a new prescription" "I don't need your help!" "I don't need those stupid pills" "I'm better now." "I'm better now!" "Since when, Alan?" "I" " I have a girlfriend" "She's beautiful" "She's one of the most beautiful girls I ever seen in my life..." "So... where are all these friends of yours, Alan?" "Really" "You don't believe me" "Look" "See?" "You see?" "I said... leave her alone!" "Hey, Al" "Take a look at this" "Let's see" "Alan Rory Brown" "The Rothschild Gallery" "Featured Artist" "Check it out" "Are these your paintings?" "You're famous" "Let's try this" "Artist Biography" "Alan Rory Brown" "A self-made artist, Alan Brown was born and raised in Toronto" "He had traveled throughout Asia and had been working out of his cottage studio until the time of his... death" "On his 32nd birthday he was found dead in his bathtub submerged in his own blood from self-inflicted wounds" "You're supposed to be dead" "Your sister's been making a fortune off you and you're still painting" "even though you're dead" "What am I going to do with you?" "What?" "Are you angry?" "Are you a fuckin' idiot?" "I'm going to fucking kill you!" "Why?" "I saw what you did" "I told you not to fuck with me" "Didn't I tell you not to fuck with me?" "What gives you the right?" "Artistic license" "Well I'm revoking your license." "Now!" "It's officially fuckin' suspended!" "Got it?" "Where is she?" "Sienna?" "No, the fairy fuckin' godmother!" "Where'd she go?" "I thought she was with you" "I should just put an end to your miserable story now" "The whole world thinks you're dead meat anyway" "Need a ride stranger?" "Sienna?" "What?" "I don't want you to leave me" "I don't want to leave you" "I love you" "There's something you have to know about Ivan" "He has A.L.S." "Lou Gehrigs Disease" "They examined him last year" "He's going to die, Alan" "When?" "Two- three years maybe longer if he's lucky" "I don't believe you" "If you could..." "If I could what?" "Nothing" "Then say it" "Well, I know if you could support his Toronto office it'd make him better... happier" "If you and Ivan could start up together it would give him something to look forward to" "You know, sometimes... living and dying... are only..." "A state of mind?" "Forget it" "I'm not trying to oblige you" "I'm just trying to say" "even if I do love you" "I can't leave Ivan" "There's nothing more to do" "Well if it isn't the big stud" "Looking good, my man" "Adultery becomes you" "So..." "Given any more thought to my proposal?" "I kinda need to know now" "I can't" "What?" "I don't own this place" "You what?" "I don't own this place" "You lied to us?" "Who does?" "My sister" "Fuck!" "She won't sell" "Fuck!" "You could sue her" "Defamation of character" "All that money she made off you selling your paintings and faking your death" "No" "What?" "No" "I can't quite understand you" "You're breaking up." "You're breaking up!" "There must be a loose connection!" "Could you repeat that?" "Could you repeat that?" "Al..." "Al..." "Aw, Al" "Come on out" "Don't be like that" "Al, I was just kidding around" "Just having fun with you, is all" "Get your crooked little boner out here" "We'll be friends again just like old times" "Ahrrggh!" "You bastard!" "You bastard" "I'm gonna fuckin' kill you" "You're a dead man, Mr. Brown!" "I don't know if this is going to work" "It might blow up in my face but I'm going to give it a chance" "I guess you're not afraid of dying!" "What the fuck are you talking about?" "I know everything" "You're dying!" "I'm dying?" "Lou Gehrig disease" "The Lou Gehrig's thing?" "I can't believe she resorted to that" "Oh fuck, whatever" "I thought we decided on leukemia" "It was all an act, Al" "Everything!" "It was all her idea too right from the beginning" "There's no Toronto office starting up" "Sienna isn't from Berlin" "We're not even married!" "She's a "performing artist" from Toronto" "Fake's a pretty good orgasm though, doesn't she?" "It was all a set-up, you moron to get your money and run" "Shut up" "Did you really believe she could be attracted to you?" "That she would jeopardize her relationship with me to be with you?" "Take a look in the mirror, Al" "Really take a clear straight look and tell me if you don't see the most delusional sap that ever lived!" "You're a defective completely mental a fuckin' waste of skin!" "You're good for a laugh, though" "Nothing seems to work for you" "Sienna told me that sleeping with you was the biggest joke" "Well I guess you don't need a firearms expert to know that you should probably invest in something a little more up to date" "Just get out!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "No worries there" "Al my good pal" "Hello" "You want me dead" "You want to kill me?" "Al..." "Al what are you talking about?" "You know what I'm talking about" "Y..." "You..." "Google me" "What?" "Google me, now!" "My paintings." "The Rothschild Galleries" "I've never heard of a Rothschild Gallery" "On the internet."

"I killed myself" "Alan, I don't know what you're talking about" "You want me to come over?" "You..." "You!" "You killed me" "You killed me" "Oh my God, Alan please just hold on, okay" "I'm coming over right now" "Don't do anything until I get there" "Alan?" "Alan, do you hear me?" "Alan..." "Go away!" "Go away!" "Go away!" "Alan..." "Go away!" "Get away from me" "Get away" "Get away" "I wanna die" "I wanna die" "Get... away from me" "Get away from me" "Get away" "Get away!" "Get away" "No!" "Get the fuck away from me!" "Please, please" "Easy, Alan." "Easy" "Please don't..." "Easy" "Easy" "Get away." "Get away, please please please please please" "Oh, please..." "Oh no..." "Please please go away please please go away please" "Get his things" "He's coming with us" "Maybe it's a dream" "Maybe I'm imagining it all from my grave" "I never heard from Ivan again" "Lorenzo called me" "He told me Ivan spent the last two years of his life in a hospital and died shortly after his 40th birthday"
