Coming Up Roses (2011) - full transcript

Young Alice (Rachel Brosnahan) and her theatrical mother, Diane (Bernadette Peters) desperately hold onto each other and the fantasy of a better life. A dangerous neighborhood, money troubles, even Diane's relentless depression will not defeat them. But is their love and determination enough? A striking dramatic role for Broadway superstar BERNADETTE PETERS.

Mommy... It's time.

what's the line?

It swells...

and then the music swells.

And then the music swells!

And then what?

At midnight, I leave you

a glass slipper

I think it's just
up on the next block.

Has a perfect
sense of direction.

We should have called an
hour ago...



I'm sure she's busy mom.

Oh God.

You hear that?

Church bells, we're close!

Mom. It's like a stop sign!

I know!

Give them thy blessing, O Lord

that they may strengthen their
love for each other.

We ask this of
our Lord Jesus Christ...

You go in that door,

I'll go in the other side,

it's less conspicuous...

I, Lanette Walters,

take you Roberto
Osvaldo Campos...



I promise to cherish and
respect you

to care and protect you

to comfort and encourage you

for all eternity

Is this the I carried?

Is this the
little boy at play...

I don't
remember growing older...

Who is that?

Mother of the bride.

When did they?

When did she-

Stop being so mad.

I didn't know.

Okay, She mentioned it...

but I never
thought she'd actually-

It always turns into her show.

Do you know how much
freakin' nerve that took?

At least I managed to

talk her out of "Climb Every
Mountain".

God I'm so glad I got away...

?

She's already lined
up a job and a place...

I haven't seen it yet but...

she's been really on top of it-

, Please!

It's gonna be good!

Photo time, babe.

I thought you'd be
happy to have me closer...

That song...

It's one of my favorites.

It's... it's beautiful.

Thank you.

So,...

Have you
photographed anyone famous?

The State Senator.

Oh my god, that's amazing!

You photograph famous people!

Didja hear that, darling?

Famous people! Stars, and
celebrities.

Gorgeous people!

And then the music swells!

I promise to cherish and respect
you

To care and protect you

and stay with you,
for all eternity

There!

There's the street! Fulton
street!

We're home! We're home!

This is it! okay...

Wait till ya see this place!

Laughing

Wait till you see
its potential!!

Hello house!

C'mon!!

This is the guest room...

I was thinking blue...

We could hang all the hats in
here...

from all the shows I was in.

We could use this
room for entertaining...

Who knows, our friendly
photographer might want to

get more friendly...

Your room's upstairs.

It's a nice size.

I'm not quite sure what
to do with it yet...

We're gonna have to find a
Handy-Man...

AND Why-O, Why-O, Why-O&

Why did I ever leave Ohio...

So, mom, overall... the
long-term plan is

to buy a franchise...

...mom?

Oh! Sorry, I'm sorry,
sweetie... go on.

We already have the
proven business model,

the established trademark

plus expansion potential...

Did you lock the truck?

Who would want to steal your
stuff, mom?

I've been worried about you this
whole trip...

what show was this?

Mom as Mary Sunshine, 2nd Act,

Broadway touring company.

Promise me, this move, you'll
get out more.

Is that an invitation?

Somewhere in this room is a box
with the instruments

I need for work tomorrow...

Is this some kind of joke?

Mom?

The man walks out on you,
without a word...

you nearly had a nervous
breakdown...

Six years and you're
still saving his...

his Toothbrush?!

...stop it!

Come on...

You think he's coming back.

I'm not doing this again.

You can keep your delusions Mom.

I'm done!

Wait...

!!

Another lowlife for you.

Checks all bounced.

Not returning any phonecalls.

I'll take care of it.

I know you will.

Any word from your girl?

You could have that bitch-of-
an-Ex of yours arrested

for kidnapping, you know...

We're ordering out for
lunch, you want something?

Let me know how it goes.

Acceleration, motion, force...

we've been over this... right?

Which brings me to
- our new student...

Miss Walters...

Who wasn't even here during
the review...

But she was the only one of
you...

to get this question correct.

Welcome to Nashua High, Ms.
Walters...

Physics is a
strength, obviously.

This test was
geared to be difficult.

I don't actually like physics.

Well, then... you'll fit
right in here.

So,...

What brings you to Nashua?

Uh-My father.

He's a bio-geneticist, got a job
offer he couldn't refuse...

And my grandma's sick so we

moved in with her to help
her out.

Great to meet you Mrs. Doyle!

Uh, no lunch, herine?

Hey! Hey!

. We're neighbors...

The couple that lived in that
house before you...

they were real druggies.

Yeah. they definitely trashed
the place.

So, your grandma's not a drug
addict?

You heard that?

I thought I was a good liar...
But man, A plus!

What about your dad?

What about.

My dad's gone too.

Dead actually, so I guess
it's a little different-

What do you want?

You need money and I have
an idea...

My mom and I are doing just
fine, thanks.

You live here!

You need money.

We don't have to be friends...

I just need a lookout,
someone to warn me if

anyone's around.

Think you can trust me?

You hungry?

This is you?

My mom likes to get a jump on
the holidays.

Wanna snack?

My mom's always
baking some shit...

I gotta go...

We're still unpacking and
stuff...

we're having people
over for dinner...

I gotta help.

C minus.

Go home.

Think money.

Where are they?

Keep your pants on... I'm
coming!

Ms. Ledoux?

Yeah?

What's this?

It's your eviction notice,
effective immediately.

You have 48 hours to
vae the premises.

After that we'll have to
contact law enforcement.

Do you have any questions?

You fucking asshole!

You cold, heartless asshole!!

You don't care that we're on the
street?!

You don't care that
we're gonna die out there!?

We've got to figure
out how to get the car fixed.

Every bus smells like urine...

Thanks for meeting me.

Any kids with talent today?

No... all sharps...

sharps and flats...

Yeah, the kids in my classes...

seem like a bunch of wicked
duds.

And... I need
$15, when ya can...

for lab supplies... physics...

$15?!

It's a public school... Oh, for
Christ's sake-

They have a 'poor kid fund'-

No.

We'll deal with it.

I'm... walking...

Can we get pizza for dinner
tonight?

Oh, honey, I'm going out with
later.

I wanted to thank him for his
help with the move.

He's gay mom.

No he's not.

He's unusual-

He's gay!

I hate when you jump to
conclusions like that...

Anyway, it doesn't matter...

I'm just going to dinner-
- Did you see his handkerchief?

Don't you talk to your mother
like that!

Where the hell do you
think you're going?!

The library!!

Hey mom.

There's my girl.

What are ya doin'?

Well, I'm doing some cleaning
up.

This isn't all yours, ya know...

Oh, I know that honey, but ya
know...

I thought this might be a good
time for...

for us to start to let go of
some of this...

Are you out of your mind!?

Sweetie, your teachers are
telling me how...

distracted you are, how
unfocused you are...

That's bullshit.

I know you've lost your way...

but sweetheart, Jesus is here
for us!

Jesus... loves you!

What does Jesus say about
stealing, huh?

Dad left these for me!

When I leave this hellhole, I'm
taking all this with me...

so don't you dare touch it, ya
hear me?

!?

Gay or not, he's early.

May I help you?

Mrs. Walters?

We don't take any door to door
solicitations...

No no no no...

I'm from the rental agency Mrs.
Walters.

You haven't been
answering your phone.

And?

You seem to be behind on some
payments...

How dare you harass me!

I could report you to the
city housing authorities for

this dump of a place.

Do you realize we haven't had a
working heating system...

since we moved in here?

Sub-standard housing...

freezing out women
and children...

my daughter getting sick...

I wasn't aware there was
a heating issue -

Well, it's your job to get
aware before coming here...

Isn't it?

I will look forward to
hearing how your agency...

is going to compensate me!

What the hell happened?!

...

My own daughter hates me...

Not one ounce of respect...

Jesus, mom...

She thinks it's easy raising two
children on nothing?

She doesn't makes mistakes?

You're not making sense.

She won't even talk to me... I
went to see her...

I said ', I know I'm
a screw-up...

but we need your help&'
Oh my God...

mom... why?!

Thirty-five dollars to look good
for her wedding...

I forgot to ask about removal...

Mom, mom, you don't want it to
get infected...

you don't want it to
get infected...

did you meet anyone
interesting at work today?

I...

Apparently my boss
doesn't like anyone who has...

actual idea of their own...

I should have told you.

I'm fired...

You'll find something else...

It doesn't matter... doesn't
matter...

I'm sorry...

No, no, mom, mom...

Come on...

Hey, hey...

It's my fault.

I didn't keep
track of the budget...

I've never seen her this
bad before Cher.

She can barely bring herself to
get dressed in the morning...

let alone go on a job
interview...

What do you want me to do?

She's a wreck. She's always been
a wreck...

Ever since that fight with
you...

They're gonna cut
off our electricity.

That's nothing new, you'll go
to bed earlier,

rise with the sun...

We'll freeze in the winter...

Oh please!

A small loan.

Anything.

I'll make sure she pays you
back, personally!

, please...

for me...

What did she think moving
here...

I know of a job.

But... she's a wreck...

It'll be ages before-
Not for her.

A job for you.

I'm pregnant.

I haven't told him yet.

Wow...

Cher, that's...

That's big...

I have to focus now, okay?

I have my own family now...

the job for you would be with
's uncle...

it would be under the table.

, come on!

Maybe can help?

Don't you dare...

you hear me?

No no no, no problem Clara.

Just... wanna check on one thing
here...

She has two kids at your school?

No, no, just one.

Oh, right...

The other one has graduated.

Well, that's great...

Uh... thanks Clara. Feel
better...

Say hi to Ed for me.

See ya Wednesday...

Yeah...

All right...

Okay...

Take care.

Okay, bye.

C'mere, sit down.

I need a runner.

I've told you, drugs make
me nervous.

You'll get used to it...

Besides, I'm just getting good
at my thing...

How's your ma?

She good?

Tell her I said hi?

She's fine...

Scary without your Dad around,
huh?

I know...

I know how that is...

You know, I can't protect you...

Unless you work for me.

You know that.

Take it, it's for good luck...

No...

You... take it...

I'll see you around, okay?

Be good...

Take a number and fill out these
forms completely.

Listen for your
number to be called.

New Hampshire Department of
Labor

How can I assist you?

No, we can't mail them, you have
to come pick them up...

Do you feel tired, anxious?

Good things are already coming
your way...

Just pick up your phone and dial
1.800.GO.LIGHT...

and you're on the path to
happiness...

you can't stop it.

Mom?!

Mom, what are you doing?

What does it look like, sweetie?

Do you know what time it is?

Shhhhh...

Where's the refill?

Half...

it makes 'em last longer.

Oh, shit honey...

I missed your thing...

It's OK.

No, it's not!

What an asshole... they
probably think I'm unfit...

a "no show" to her own
daughter's school conference!

It's no big deal mom.

They think I neglect you...

they'll call social services...

Mom!

It's totally okay.

No one cared...

Some perfect, Donna Reed-shit
will come...

take my baby away...

No one's taking me away mom...

No one's taking me.

They're right you know...

They're absolutely right about
me.

Fuck them.

You and I are different.

We'll never fit in here.

That's how I want it to feel
every time.

Don't over stuff it.

You just have to constantly
check and see that it's at...

prime load capacity.

Test it.

Keep aware at all times.

A happy customer is
a frequent customer.

Fill that.

Oh, hello! May I help you?

Shit!

Don't take him too seriously...

wanna bet he even starches his
socks?

Looks good...

yeah, good...

Good work today.

I can see you getting
ahead here real quick.

You're still in training.

But the hourly wage-

said I can't put you on payroll.

You're under sixteen, right?

I'm the one taking the risk...

Don't forget tomorrow... hair
net...

say hi to and.

Hey!

Hey...

I just...

Wait.

You got a Boston creme?

Whoa.

My Goddess.

Yeah.

Sorry I smell.

How's the legit job?

Sucks.

So what exactly
does a "lookout" do?

I knew you'd take me up on my
offer.

I'm not saying yes...

I'm just curious...

what's that?

That is Manhattan,
Queens, Staten Island...

Brooklyn, Central
Park, St. Marks Place...

and this pin is the precise
point where my father and I...

listened to his music... the
Village Vanguard...

How'd he die?

Throat Cancer.

A year ago.

Shit.

Yeah.

Gruesome.

It sucks.

My mother replaced him with
Jesus...

Can you please keep it down!!!

I'm getting out.

Enough for a bus ticket to New
York,

one way, and a few
months of living.

Wow.

I figure I need another
couple hundred...

before I hit it...

?

Go away!

The girls just wanna say
hello to you, hun...

Tell them I'm busy
devil-worshiping!

Herine...

open the door!

Herine...

Open the door!

What did I tell you about
locking the door?

Don't make me come in there!

Open this door, young lady!

Wow.

You like it?

Ingenious.

A band-aid... I've called the

landlord about a
real solution...

we'll see.

Any news from the unemployment
agency?

Not yet.

How 'bout the help-wanted ads?

Menial crap. Nothing worth
doing.

Mom...

I'm working on it okay?!

I've got my own way of doing
things but I'm doing it...

'To dream the impossible dream&'
next line.

We need a 'look up and
live' song... 'To fight the

unbeatable foe&' next line?

I have to change...

We don't want any...!

Hey, sorry if this is a bad
time...

I... was talking to the
landlord, he wanted you to

have this until he could fix the
heat.

Funny, I was going to come visit
your offices today.

Saved you a trip.

It's an electric heating unit.

Best on the market.

Are we being charged for this?

No... no, I just thought

it's the least the landlord can
do...

That's very kind of you...

.

.

Call me.

Thank you...

See that guy over there
with the Ace tattoo

on his neck?

Yeah.

He's a hood...

They work for
...the local dealer...

Stay away from those fuckers...

They are wicked, wicked
uncool... all of them.

Okay.

I used to shoplift, but
that was too easy...

Unlike them, what
I do takes skill...

strength and speed.

I can pull a box
in just under 5 minutes...

given the right circumstances.

Keep a relative distance so

you can see who's
coming from all sides.

Are you alright, sweetheart?

...

Oh, you're waiting for?

Oh, you poor thing...

Well why don't you come on
in for a drink... I've got

some fresh-baked cookies in
there...

Do you know, I never get to
meet herine's friends.

Do you live in the neighborhood?

Why don't ya come on in...

Didja knock on the door? I think
must be home.

I'm sorry, honey, did... did
ya knock on the door?

Please help me.

This is my fourth piece.

Two for you, two for the baby...

It's the size of your
fingernail.

Babe, did you see that?!

They ran a slant over the
middle, they fumbled...

and we recovered the fumble!

That's great hon.

I got a new job.

I think I'm gonna
be good at it...

Isn't 's working out?

Yes!

Yes... thank you...

but this one's just until
Mom gets back on her feet...

If she gets back on her feet.

Yeah...

Do you ever think of getting
out?

No constant drag,

less drama, consistency...

Save me the "consistency".

Yes!

Are we gonna have a great home
team or what?

Enough of the
fourth string shit...

Oh... come on!!

Wait a minute, home team?

Has a chance at a franchise...

In Atlanta...

It's... not a sure thing.

TV's broken...

We're so happy here.

The opportunities are
boundless... my problem is

deciding which job offer to
take.

A true Renaissance woman...

My eldest would like me to do
something practical.

My youngest leans
more towards adventure.

Just like her mother...

I bet she's a beautiful child.

She's not really a child...

She just turned fifteen...

but she still likes to
play dressup...

A young fifteen.

Do you have any children?

A girl.

Ah!

But I lost her a while ago.

She would have been
thirteen in December.

Oh I'm... I'm so sorry.

That must be so painful.

Would you like another glass of
wine?

I'd have a few more spare
ribs...

I love a woman with
a healthy appetite.

Rich people's dinner time...

Stay here...

I'll need ten minutes...

Hey.

Hey!

What're ya doing?

The library.

I'm waiting for a friend to take
me to the library...

Good luck.

Thanks.

But... I'm doing it.

Watch your head.

You told them nothing, right?

...right?

This is Kapp...

from the police station...

we have your daughter
down here...

Are you hurt!?

Mrs. Walters,

we picked up this
afternoon as an accessory to...

what we think was
an attempted theft.

No, there must be some kind of
mistake...

Because she has no prior
record...

she was not charged...

My daughter would not be
involved...

would not be an
accessory to anything...

Mom... No!

You don't have to defend
these ludicrous accusations!

I would like your
badge number...

I'm sure this is hard to hear...

Don't you threaten me!

Mom! Stop it!

How dare you treat us like the
rest of this neighborhood-

I would strongly advise that
you...

step inside the house and calm
down.

Come on!

Get a hold of yourself!

You almost got yourself
arrested!

I couldn't let him believe those
lies,

malign us in front of...

It's true!

Everything he said is true...

I did it...

I meant to do it...

And I fucked up big
time and got caught...

What have I done?

Moving you into this
slum of a neighborhood...

letting you get dragged
into a life of crime...

Mom.

I'm a complete failure of a
mother!

I'm not involved in a life of
crime...

We have to move!

We have to move today!

Otherwise... or you'll turn into
one of them!

I gotta get you out of this
dump!

Calm down mom.

I made a mistake, okay?

I've learned my lesson...

You need a father.

Someone who can control
you... lay down some laws.

Someone you'll respect!

I don't need a freakin' thing
Mom!!!

Can't you see
this for what it is?

I made a mistake okay?

Kids do this!

This is NORMAL!!!

COUNSELOR So you feel stressed?

Stressed?

COUNSELOR
The transition to a new
school...

a new home, can often produce
a great deal of anxiety for

young students...

I'm not stressed.

I'm fifteen.

I'm not the greatest sleeper.

My mom keeps telling me I
should get to bed earlier.

But who listens to
their mom right?

Hey!

Cheer up!

We'll get it right next time.

I can't do it...

What are you talking about?

I can't focus.

I need you...

I have something else... an
idea...

The school bell RINGS.

To the right buyer...

this stuff is worth a lot

I checked at this pawn shop on
Main, he's really into this kind
of thing...

How long have you had these?

They're all my mom's...

This one's from Candide ...so...

about nine years....

I mean what do you do with them?

I thought I'd create a place...

someplace where everybody could
be someone else and...

we could change things...

Stupid.

I bet in New York, everyone
wears this kinda thing.

You love this stuff. Why sell?

!

Take that off!

Grab that book, we're
studying...

What's going-

Just do it!

I'm in my room!

I'll be right down!

I tried what you said, it didn't
work...

I'm unemployable...
underqualified, overqualified...

too loud, too bright-

Mom, this is...

this is my mom...

I need to you now.

What did we do?

Now!!

What is she putting you up to,
tell me!

Nothing.

Drugs!? More stealing?
Prostitution?

Mom!

Wanna see your life on the front
page of the papers!?

...Walters gets 15 years!

We were just talking...

I saw the costumes...

You making fun of me!

You were laughing at me...

Two delinquent little shits!

Laughing at me, laughing,
laughing!

Laughing, laughing...

Go.

You'd have to pay off your debt
here before you could...

be eligible for reloion...

Oh God...

Yeah...

I may lose her...

No, no...

It's gonna be okay...

We'll figure something out.

Your section?

Good.

Your regular?

Thank you.

You had a run-in with a
disgruntled customer?

Not my day.

Yet.

You know what day it is?

Happy first month.

Open it.

I think you'll
really dig the cassette.

I can't accept this...

Don't make it a big deal...

It's your first month at a
crummy job and you deserve a...

perk or two.

I don't know you...

Really.

You know plenty.

There's not much more.

Better put it in back, so
the boss doesn't take it...

as collateral.

Thank you.

Sure you could sell it for a lot
of money...

OWNER
Well, we don't get much call for
this...

Its- and it's brand new! The
guy told me...

he just took it out of the box.

Surprise.

Open it.

I'm not in trouble...

I swear it....

And I've nearly paid off the
oil bill too... soon we'll be

sitting around in
our bathing suits.

You're my star.

My industrious,
bright, shining star.

In the joint&

A man of distinction, a real big
spender...

Hey there.

He was a looker, huh?

Sideburns and all...

That was his hippie phase...

Free love mom?

No... Just the look, honey.

Not the lifestyle.

Oh.

I gotta go.

I'll be back for dinner.

Hey, hey hey!

WITNESS
Hey! Hey you! WHat's going on
here?

Stop!

That's it!

Mom?

!

Where have you been?

Oh! How rude of me.

, this is...,

this is my baby......

You
shouldn't sneak up like that!

What are you doing here?

Hey! Aiello, it's nice
to officially meet...

You two know each other?

Works with our landlord...

we're friends.

Don't be rude.

Just fixing some things up.

Mom are you in on this?

You've been spying on me!

Is here to help us sweetie...

I haven't been spying on you...

Are you sleeping with my
Mother?!

!

Listen, I think you two have
things to talk about...

Let the freaking liar go Mom...

!

Go to your room!

Go!

, I am so sorry.

Don't worry...

Teenagers... I've been there...

Look, I'm gonna finish up later.

She's usually very sweet...

very polite...

It's okay.

Can we talk?

?

, please...

I don't want to hear it!

He's a good man...

I finally look like a New
Yorker...

This is all my fault...

if I hadn't told the police
about the-

You can't take the credit...

this was a long time in
coming...

Knock Knock.

Who's there?

Ohhh... your Fairy Godmother!

Here's your shake, honey.

I'm reverting to toddlerhood.

, how bout some fresh lemonade?

Thought you girls might need a
snack... this afternoon, huh?

Okay, thanks mom.

You can go now.

It's almost time for your
medicine...

I'll call you.

Wanna stay for dinner?

Go! Mom. Please!?

I can take a hint!

Lemme have a kiss...

This is the day of the Lord...
praise his name...

She hasn't left my side in 24
hours.

Are you alright?

After the fight with your mom...

With you I can't even whine
...you've probably looked-

That was just a one-time thing.

She's been really stressed
lately...

no job, no-

I'm lying here with three broken
ribs and one working...

eyeball and you're
gonna bullshit me?!

Just be REAL okay?!

C'mon!

Don't be a pussy, I do this all
the time.

Come on!

My mom's totally freaked
about your attack.

Yeah, and mine thinks New York
is dangerous.

She actually has a kind of 'spy'
following me around.

You're shitting me right?

That's hilarious!

I have a bodyguard...

Seriously, how else am
I gonna keep safe?

I'd like to take care of you.

What?

You're amazing...

No..., no.

I just had to say it.

Okay...

When I come to New York, I'm
sleeping on the floor.

I come bearing fruit.

How did you know where I live?

You're listed.

Some of this needs
to be refrigerated...

We had plans for tomorrow.

I couldn't wait.

If we make a plan, we stick to
it.

That's how I work.

Have you talked to?

When and where I talk to my
daughter is my business.

I'm not looking for a fight

Well it certainly seems
like you are.

If you want to call me when we
can talk about this like

two adults we can talk tomorrow.

Who the hell do you think you
are?

Because I care about you.

Let's talk tomorrow.

No! I want to finish this. I
want to know exactly...

Tomorrow...

Oooh... uhhh.....

You didn't like the music.

You can't win me like that.

You like my mother?

Leave me out of it.

Your mother was
right about one thing...

I'm trying to help her.

You.

I know all about your
budding 'friendship'& I'm

sure she thinks you'd be a
good 'authority' figure...

It's not very inventive.

You're three
months behind on rent and the

security-deposit check bounced.

You're to be evicted.

Immediately.

I'm trying to stall the process,

to keep you and your
mother off the street...

but I'm gonna need your help!

How much do we owe?

How much?

I care about your mom.

I care about ya.

Did you at
least save the receipts?

Don't be so dour.

I'm playing the part of
eligible maiden and domestic

goddess tonight.

I've invited
to dine with us at 6.

It will be a four course
culinary extravaganza...

?

Yeah. He'll be here. I left him
a message.

This is crazy.

We're gonna return all this
stuff... we can't afford

any of this...

If we're gonna get out
of this dump we need

to look the part!

What happened to you?

I'm sorry...
I'm sorry, sweetheart...

But... I can't waste any more
time.

I need money.

Money, money, money...

Take off your jacket.

C'mon.

Not bad.

I've never done this.

Well, requires a closed mouth...

fast feet...

And an innocent face.

You got that. Hm?

You'll do.

PROSTITUTE Come on.

PROSTITUTE
Don't quit your day job honey.

What a lovely surprise.

You owe me fifty.

I've& I've been dealing with
back pain...

I don't need to know.

Just give me fifty
and a lift home;

my mom made dinner for us.

She's smart and attractive and
funny, and she...

really really likes you.

you're talking about!

My father was a great, great
man&

Your mother told me the truth,.

watching over you...

Good job, mom.

How many pills do you think she
took this time?

Did she leave a note?

You know, with the reason.

It was an accident.

I would say a lovely coral...

in the world to keep alive...

He loves you.

You gave me no choice, you know.

What the hell are you doing?

I want my mother and me off the
hook.

There's only one way...

She's got no one else...

I can't take care of my mom from
prison.

What the hell are you talking
about?

Everyone gets caught

Prison?!

You're trying to tell me your
friend

has more guts than you, huh?

Has more guts than you!? Huh!?

necessities... we'll leave

exchange or something...
