"Mr. Palamino, do yöu have marijuana on the premises?" "Uh, one plant." "For my cat's arthritis." " Is this a joke to yöu?" " No, it helps him a lot." " Right, Balls?" " yöur cat's name is Balls?" "With arthritis, shouldn't that be swollen Balls?" "Yeah, joint pain, hilarious." "I don't know what this is, but I don't want to be a part of it." "Just lose the plant." "I probably won't." "Just being honest." "And I probably won't give a shit." "(LAUGHING)" " yöu sure got me." " Yeah." "Actually, I did." "yöu admitted to an officer of the law to drugs on the premises." "That's a violation of yöur lease." "Which gives yöu 24 hours to vacate, asshole." "Have a great day." "yöu sure there's enough room?" "Room?" "There's lots of room!" "Pia wants yöu to have her bed." "Stay as long as yöu like." "Okay." "So." "Hey, man." "This is just going to be for a couple nights." "Okay?" "At least yöu don't have to worry about getting beat up anymore." "Why's that?" "Because we told them yöu were a drug dealer." "Thanks, Ravi." "During Prohibition, that river bank was the drop off for black market whiskey." "LEO:" "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Why'd yöu steal the newspaper?" "(LAUGHS)" "I took pity on yöu and let yöu come on the tour." "Don't wear it out." " yöur little 'fuck yöu' to the man?" " I forgot to pay." "Like yöu do every day?" "Change of plans, folks." "Behind me yöu'll see a set of stairs." "There's a view up there that is well worth the climb." " What about him?" " He's afraid of heights." "Pathetic, isn't it?" "There's a hilarious chapter about it in a book I'm reading." "LEO: "In my early twenties," "I thought Leo's blanket distrust of anyone with authority was the mark of an original mind."" "Okay. "I thought his strongly held views, always firmly on the side of the underdog, were the expression of something pure and true." "Then I came to see that, more often than not," "Leo's muddled politics... were expressed in drunken rants about sport hunters, the Christian Right and wars he knew little to nothing about."" "Hey, how 'bout we take a break from the out loud reading?" "Did yöu really make her have sex at her aunt's funeral?" "I did not make her..." "Why do yöu..." "She didn't even like that aunt." "yöu guys don't understand what it's like to read a person's thoughts, so well organized in chapters with witty asides... as she falls out of love with yöu." "yöu know the worst part?" "Colette." "She read it all, too." "(GRUNTING)" "(INDISTINCT CHATTER)" "His wife has written the book... (SIGHING) yöur hushed tone?" "I'd bring it down a few decibels." "And yes, I'm him." "Yes, I make snap judgments." "Yes, I walked from a publishing deal." "Yes, one very humid day after way too much sangria," "I shit myself in Paris!" "What?" "Hey, man." "Heads up!" "What are yöu doing?" "Same as yöu." "Staring at my daughter's huge house." "She won't return my calls." "Hey, yöu know, somewhere in my back seat I think I have a $300 bottle of scotch." "I told Colette I thought what yöu did at the wedding was romantic." "And that's why she's not talking to me." "I'm afraid I've made her fear the romantic, unlikely dreamers." "With yöur crazy grand gestures." "A terrible thing in life to avoid completely." " I'm glad yöu weighed in." " No, I shouldn't have." "Yeah." "What yöu did was obnoxious, selfish, superficial as hell." "But it took balls." "And I was high at a very dull party." "What do yöu have against Danny?" "It's not what I have against him." "No." "My point was, wait." "yöu don't know a person's character until the chips are down." "And I'm pretty sure the chips have never really been down for Danny." "And what the hell kind of a name for a camp is 'Awesome Times'?" " Awesome Times." " A little on point, perhaps?" "Well, if I were 20 years yöunger, and not in a committed polyamorous relationship with some people in Anchorage, I would..." "I'd fuck ya." "That is the nicest thing the mother of anyone I've loved has ever said." "And yöu're really giving up on my daughter?" "Just because she read a bestseller yöur ex wrote?" "yöu would understand if someone wrote one about everything wrong with yöu." "And it was funny." "And well observed." "My ex husband, the asshole who broke my heart, no, eviscerated my heart, when he was in the field reporting on some African dictator, he would focus on proving just one of the dictator's claims wrong." "Because if yöu can disprove one thing a person in power says, people will question everything else they say." "Just a thought." "I'm gonna do that." "yöu have a crippling fear of heights." "yöu can't even watch my wife do it." "That's the point, my little friend." "Transcend that." "I will blow Julie's book, blog..." "It's a multi platform phenomenon, is what it is." "Oh, I'm sorry." " That's a publishing term." " I will prove it wrong." "For Colette." "And for me." "I just have to condition myself to altitude." "A..ha!" "Ha..ha!" "Ooh." "(WHIMPERING)" "I think this is totally gonna work." "(WHIMPERING)" "MAN ON TV:" "The idea behind hang gliding is simple." "A shift of the center of gravity to one side, that wing drops and a turn that way." "For the landing, push out." "That stalls the kite and yöu're down." "JILL:" "yöu're just gonna do a quick run." "I have to be at the gallery by four." "Garnet's sneaking out of a fundraiser for Danny Hart's camp to look at a painting I'm stalled on." "Well!" "Isn't that nice of him." "The fundraiser's a big deal, so it is nice of him." "Let's go!" "I gotta go." " Let's do this!" " Okay." " Are yöu good?" "Are yöu good?" " Yeah, we're good." " Easy." " Are we gonna run now?" " Hey, how are ya?" " Fine." " Heads up." " Whoa!" "Paint, draw, glue stuff, I don't care." "This is not a class." "What are yöu painting?" "I call it Knight Fight." "yöu must have been a real dork in school, huh?" "yöu have no idea." "Kids..." "My manipulative mother, who thinks I won't be able to ignore her in front of yöu, who is wrong." "yöu're disturbing them." "And on their special day." "Now that's manipulative." "That's how yöu do it." "Okay." "Let's, let's make stuff, guys." "I was..." "I was out of line at yöur wedding and I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "And I miss yöu." "And I gave birth to yöu, so yöu owe me." "yöu drive all night?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Let's put it behind us." "Yeah." "Oh!" "Let's have an awesome time!" "Was that facetious?" "Of course not." "(SCOFFING)" "NEIL:" "yöu know, yöu can back out, dude." " We'll never judge yöu for it." " No." "I have to do this." "Where's this fundraiser?" " Oh, it's at the Hart Ranch." " Good to go." "No." "Don't yöu even think it." "Leo!" "Leo!" "No, Leo!" "No!" "No, no, no, no." "No!" "Don't, Leo!" "Stop!" "No, no!" "No, no, no!" "(SCREAMING)" "(SCREAMING)" "(INDISTINCT CHATTER)" "Can I borrow these?" "Holy shit!" "Danny?" "It's the dishwasher!" "Holy shit!" "Jesus Christ!" "Isn't he afraid of heights?" "(SHOUTING)" " Ooh." " (LEO SHOUTING)" "(PEOPLE SCREAMING)" "(SCREAMING)" "(GROANING)" "(SNIFFING)" "Oh, my God!" "Hey." "The only good thing about this place is the Jell O." " And the Percodan." " I'll get yöu some more." " Percodan?" " Jell O." " yöu want a bite?" " I'm good." "Sorry I broke the Troys." "(SIGHING)" "Jesus." "Look at yöu." "Why the hell did yöu do it?" "To show yöu that one thing Julie said isn't true." "That I could get over my fear of heights." "A fear which is very much back, by the way." "yöu know, I..." "I hate that yöu read all those things she wrote." "Some things she calls wrong don't seem wrong to me." "I don't think yöu were wrong to walk from a publishing deal because yöu didn't agree with their changes." "God, I wish I could be that sure of myself." "Why do yöu steal newspapers?" "yöur ex would say that it's a... a product of futile antiestablishment urges." "Me, flailing at corporate America." "But their coffee is so expensive." "And the way they double cup?" "It's so wasteful." "So every day I steal a dollar." "My little 'fuck yöu' to the man." "But this isn't gonna end how yöu want it to." "Good bye, Leo." "(SIGHING)" "LEO:" "Writing, and the pursuit of a woman, like any impossible dream, are not about immediate results." "They're about telling the truth, no matter how absurd or embarrassing, or what injuries yöu sustain." "And hoping like hell she'll hear yöu." "(LAUGHING)" "He's... he's awful." "Does he do that thing where he just talks and talks..." "Hey, Debrugan!" "Sometimes a prick is a prick, and it needs to be said." "At a brunch?" "In front of an entire restaurant?" "Not everything is an opportunity to take a stand." "What is one?" "For yöu?" "I mean, between all the back slapping and the 'hey man', who'd have the time?" "Sorry I don't occupy the special place of moral purity from which to cast my pious judgments, better known as a dish pit." "(LAUGHING)" "What... what the hell does this have to do with him?" "Because it's what yöu're thinking." "We need to talk." "(DISHES CLANKING)" "yöur pal in there, Mandeep." "My firm did the paperwork for this place when they wanted a guest worker visa to bring in a cook." "Okay." "What I've done has nothing to do with him." "It's so sad." "These poor bastards." "They get told by these recruiting agencies to come, work an entry level job and get a work permit." "But it's all bullshit." "And yöu can be damn sure they're not gonna get one if they're too scared to contact Immigration when those visas ran out." "Two years ago." "If yöu ever say another single word to my wife, yöur friend and his kids are going back to whatever shithole in Bangalore they came from." "Comprende, dishwasher?" "yöu okay?" "Hmm?" "Yeah." "Fine." "(SHOUTING)" "(SIGHING)" "(BALLS GRUMBLING)" "What do yöu think, buddy?" "What else can life take from us?" "(BALLS GRUMBLING, RUSTLING)" "(SIGHING)" "What are yöu doing here?" "I have a few days off the book tour." "I thought I'd bring Snow home." " Snow?" " yöu're right about the cats, Leo." "They should be together." "(LAUGHING) Oh," "Always had shitty timing, Jules." "(JULIE SIGHING)" "I wonder if I hadn't separated them if the bear would have got him?" "Probably not." "Snow's a scrapper." "Aren't yöu, old girl?" "(GRUMBLING)" "Yeah." "I read yöur book." " Really?" " I can't believe yöu broke my guitar." "I can't believe yöu couldn't learn one song." "Sure, they're hanging her paintings." "And yöu know what they're also doing?" "They're laughing at inside jokes, and developing a shorthand." "Screw it." "I'm going in!" "Neil, yöu have nothing to worry about." "Neil!" "Neil, Neil, Neil!" "Nothing good will come from yöu going in there." "Trust me!" " Said by a man who listens to no one." " yöu're right." "Said by a man who should start." "yöu were right." "I should have trusted yöu." "About my book." "yöu're a good editor." "I wore yöu down." "I let yöu down." "I dug in my heels instead of listening to yöur suggestions." "Which were good." "All right, well, yöu couldn't see it at the time." "That's okay." "But yöu did." "yöu had faith in me, man." "I should have had faith in yöu back." "To listen." "And Julie was right, it's my worst flaw." "Which I will work on." "If yöu have faith in me on this and do not go in there." " Okay." " Okay?" "Hey!" "Can I talk to yöu for a minute?" "How's Leo?" " He's fine." " Good." "Can yöu say hi to him for me?" "He sleeps in our room, so yeah, we could probably hook that up." "Thanks, guys." " Hey, Colette!" "Wait up!" " Colette!" "Hold on!" "Wait!" "yöu need to know something." "(DOOR OPENING)" "Hey, babe." "I know what yöu threatened Leo with." "I knew he'd play this for sympathy." "No, he honored yöur deal." "He didn't tell me anything." "yöu've never been on the outside of anything, have yöu?" "(SCOFFING)" "When yöu noticed me, Danny, yöu cast a warmth on me I'd never felt before." "And those first months were perfect." "What do yöu mean, 'were?" "'" "I mean I think I spent so long thinking there was something wrong with me because I was never on the inside... that I never thought about what being there... always being there, does to a person." " Being where?" " Safe." "Perfectly safe." "Surrounded by yöur boys and yöur history here and yöur father's reputation." " Okay, I am the one wronged here!" " Yes. yöu were." " So I took a stand against this asshole." " A stand?" "Danny, taking a stand has to hurt." "Or make yöu look like a fool or..." "What yöu did was easy." "And that is not a stand." "I don't belong here... and we both know it." "All right." "This isn't happening." "No, not about him." "I'm not gonna run into his arms, if that's what yöu mean." "But it is about him." "About all that he is that makes what yöu're not so clear." "What, a loser?" "A guy who scrubs pots for a living?" "A guy whose own wife couldn't stand him?" "Hmm?" "We're all wrong for someone, Danny." "Oh, shit." "LEO:" "Jill had used those way too intimate pictures of Neil on her phone for something more... profound than foreplay." " (CHUCKLING) - yöu are a fine piece of art." " yöu can't consult yöur muse." " They are amazing." "And I am an idiot." "yöu really are, an idiot." "Who inspires me every day." " Leo." " Julie." " Uh, this is Chad." "Leo." " Hey, Chad." "Hon, can yöu just give us a minute?" "Okay." "Did yöu ever think we'd be standing in a room full of vaguely abstracted images of Neil's junk?" "(LAUGHING)" "Is it so surprising, though?" "There's always been something seriously wrong with them." "Exactly." "yöu know, the right kind of wrong, for each other." "It's kind of what we weren't." "yöu're a good writer, Jules." "Thank yöu." "From yöu that means a lot." "And I should've climbed mountains for yöu." "I did a lot wrong, too." "Maybe I didn't stress that enough in the blog." "Or the book." "I'll try in the movie." " Oh, there's gonna be a movie?" " Yeah." "Cool, huh?" " Mmm." " And speaking of," "I actually have an idea about those copies of yöur novel, I..." "COLETTE:" "Hey!" "Do yöu know that woman?" "Uh, what were yöu saying?" "About my novel?" "Hi." "Julie." "I'm Colette." "It's a great book." "Total load of crap, but funny." "Thank yöu." "I'll, um," "I'll leave yöu two." "I'm sorry, Colette." "I, um, shouldn't have pursued yöu so shamelessly." "I don't..." "I don't even know yöu." " Really?" " I have to go." " So..." " I left Danny." "And if Mandeep gets a call from Immigration, he knows I'll take half the house in the divorce." "Danny..." "loves that house." "Do yöu know what got me?" "It wasn't yöur willingness to humiliate yöurself... or all the injuries." "It was that after all that, yöu would walk away." "There's something in yöu, some hard, good little kernel of something." "Corn?" "It's the only thing I know that comes in kernels." "Dude, there is nothing good about corn." "Only the Mayans knew how to digest that shit." "But yöu?" "yöu try telling Monsanto that in threatening letters, they will send dudes to yöur house." " Have yöu been drinking?" " Since three." "Do yöu want to go find an inappropriate place to make out?" "(DOOR CLOSING)" "Ah." "Where were yöu last night?" "(CHUCKLING)" "Come here!" "Thank yöu." "Thank yöu." " What if she's yöur Poojah?" " Yeah." " What are yöu talking about?" " yöu made sweet love to her?" "Well, I wouldn't say that." "Are yöu sure we should be doing this?" " yöu're really drunk." " Shut up." " yöu're really drunk." " Shut up!" " LEO:" "Okay." " COLETTE:" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "We talked." "It was nice." "Colette!" " I don't know why yöu're..." " No, no!" "Thanks to yöu, I am gonna be 30, man!" " It's a great age!"

"I'm so sorry about last night." "Bruises heal." "Leo, I left Danny because of yöu." "Not for yöu." "Isn't that kind of the same thing?" "I went to the art gallery because I wanted to tell yöu how noble I thought yöu were when he wasn't." "But what happened after..." "It's been a tough time, and I think I just needed to blow off a little steam." "I'm so sorry." "No, it's..." "I get it." "Yeah, we've all done it." "But next time yöu try to lose yöurself in some trauma inducing sexual encounter, just make sure the guy isn't in love with yöu." "See yöu around, Colette." "(BOTH CHATTERING)" "LEO:" "That summer, three seemingly impossible, beautiful things happened." "(ANIMAL GRUMBLING)" "The first..." "Balls came out of the woods, healthier than ever." "JULIE ON TV: which is what I want." "LEO:" "The second impossible thing began with Julie's rounds on the talk shows to promote Why yöu Suck, the movie." "Leo was the most stubborn guy." "And a terrible guitar player." "But the novel he wrote," ""Sex and Sunsets", muddled, but intriguing." ""Sex and Sunsets?"" "Interesting." "Really?" "All of them?" "Yeah." "Amazon ordered way more than we had." "Julie was right." "Her just mentioning it made it sell." "We're going into a second printing!" "The third impossible thing being the death of the Big Horn Honker." "Writing and the pursuit of a woman are never about immediate results." "COLETTE READING:" "What they are about is telling the truth." "And hoping like hell she'll hear yöu." "LEO:" "I'd like to think I've evolved." "But I'll always say, some snap judgments are true."

"There was a white bear spotted on a trail north of town." "And I wondered if yöu wanted to look for him with me." "I know a trail that should get us there without too bad a climb."
