Jules of Light and Dark (2018) - full transcript

Are these like that?

What?

It's pretty off.

Uh-huh.

Hey!

- Hey, how are you?
- There you are.

Howdy.
Hey, have a seat.

That's stupid.
I see you all the time.

You know, I'm going to
be in your fields next week.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

- Bill's?
- Yeah.



All right, I'll keep
an eye out for you.

Yeah.

You wanna get a drink?

Nah, not tonight.

How about lunch next week?

Yeah, sounds good. Yeah.

Hey, man,
I've gotta head out but, um,

I'll see you around, alright?

Shut up.

Another one?

Yes, please.

Pop the trunk!

You hungry?

Ooh, I like your lips!



Thank you!

After school,
you're gonna be great.

Probably get hired at some cool
tech company or something.

I can't. Why would I
even work at a tech company?

I don't know anything
about that stuff - at all.

No, Jules, you haven't
even started yet.

You could come live with me.

Maya, you need to finish
your classes and graduate.

I will be fine. I will be good.

I will figure it out.

Thank you for being
such a good friend.

Is there a piece of paper
when you open up the bag?

Like, the instructions
or something?

Hey, guys!

I don't know.
Hi!

I didn't remember you
guys were coming here.

So early.

Good to see you, dude.

What's going on?
Good to see you.

Wouldn't miss it.

I didn't know you guys
were bringing a tent.

Yeah, it's my dad's old tent.

My mom found it in the garage.

Looks great.
This is like the perfect set.

Yeah! When are you
gonna get started?

I don't know. We're waiting for
some more people to get here.

Do you think
he'll take off anything more?

Eww, no.

Maybe!

He must be high out of his mind.
It's way too cold.

I bet he stays
by that fire all night.

If he's smart he will.
He's gonna freeze otherwise.

He took, like, four Mollys.

No! That's really dangerous.

Greedy!

Greedy. Yeah.

Our Molly guy
didn't show up, so...

Yeah, no that's him.
He's the Molly guy.

You gotta get it
from him somehow,

before he takes them all.

So last rave of the year.

Hmm. It's the best one
this year, I think.

I'm gonna go back in
the barn. Do you want to come?

Yeah.

I wanna hang out
here for a little.

I think I'm gonna head back too.

You ok?

She's just never
been with a guy before.

I'm sorry.

I can't.

Hey!

Shit.

Hey.

Are you keeping
pressure on that?

Keep your hand tight on that.

Well, you're looking well.

A lot better than
the last time I saw you.

Do you need
some juice or water?

No, thank you.

Let me know
if you need anything.

Just use this, ok?

Hey, is your girlfriend ok?

Oh, you probably...

You probably don't remember,

but you and I talked
all the way to the hospital.

You know, you slept for
a little bit, but we talked.

Oh. Um, what did I say?

You talked about
dropping out of school

so you guys
could be together.

You were worried.

You told her you loved her.

I'm Freddy, by the way,
if you don't remember.

She's not, uh, doing too well,
I don't think.

It's not your fault.

You know, that corner,
it comes out of nowhere.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry. You have nothing
to be sorry about.

You're a little bit
like my daughter.

When she was little, once,

she skinned her knee and
she kept apologizing for it.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Don't say that!

Don't be sorry about anything.

Don't ever be sorry.

How old's your daughter?

I - probably...

Twenties, probably, now...
Maybe?

Do you have any other kids?

Yeah, I have
a son and a daughter.

What about you?
Where's your family?

I don't know.
They sent me a box of stuff.

We're not really
talking right now.

Ah, I got it.

I think I know how they feel.
I don't talk to my kids either.

Why not?

It's just been so long,
I forgot.

My mom doesn't like what
I was doing with Jules.

I got it.

Oh, I forgot.
I've got, um...

When I was cleaning my truck
I found that phone.

It's either you or Jules'.

There's a picture
of you guys and a kitty.

Thank you!

Well, I'd better get to work.

But I'd like to see you again,
or stay in touch or something.

Yeah.

I wanna know
how you're doing.

Yeah.

- Ok?
- Uh-huh.

Alright, I'll see you later.

Identify the object
you see on the card.

- Guitar.
- Good.

Arm chair? Or chair?

Just chair. Good.

Ear.

Yeah.

Do you need
what time it is, or just -

- Just the object.
- It's a clock.

Good.

Sandwich.

Ear.

Sandwich.

I got a little bit
of a sandwich left -

do you think he'll want it?

- That'll be great.
- Yeah?

Yeah, he'll like that.

There you go.
Such a good boy.

Yeah.

He's a chicken salad fan.

It's like he was hungry!

Now, he really got bit
by a rattlesnake?

Yeah.

How? Where was that?

Just by my house.

You can see a white mark
up here...

Hello?

H-hello?

Who is this?

It's, uh, it's...
Andrea?

Yeah.

Hello?

Oh, my god.

Ok, so follow the pen
with your eyes

but don't move your head.

Ok, good.

Ok, so how are you feeling?

- Good.
- Good?

Uh-huh.

Well, I'm going to put in
a recommendation

that you be released this week.

It's weird. I can't write.

I can write, but...

Your letters are wrong.

Yeah.

Are they going to
let you go home yet?

Yeah.

That's good.

I need to go to a specialist.

Yeah, you told me that.

Oh, yeah.

Hey...

This is a good idea.

No. No!

I know.
I know, but we have to!

I know. But it's good, though.

Argh, I wasn't even...
Maya, no!

I wasn't even ready.

Here we go.

Let me see.

Oh, my god.

No! Ugh.

Wait, there's gotta be...

Oh, so cute!

You got any big plans tonight?

It's so weird.

I was, like, thinking about it,

but it doesn't come out.

Are you going to see
a physical therapist?

I think so.

There's that course at the pool.
We should do it together.

Yeah. Can David come too?

No. It's just girls.

Aw, you're no fun.

No, that's the rules.

My mom said I might need to come
home for a while after this.

When did she say that?

- Ready to go?
- Yeah.

- Do you want this?
- No.

- Last chance.
- No!

Let's go.

Oh, for me?

What's that?

It's our house key.

They took mine away when I
told them about Jules.

That's a good thing, though,
right?

Not really. They said I could
have it back when it was over.

At least they're
still supporting you.

Hey, buddy.
Is your mom there?

Mom!

- Who is it, honey?
- I don't know.

Andrea?

Hey, please open the door.

How about...
Can I just have five minutes?

I came a long way.

Andrea...

Are those your kids?

Do you talk to Marco?

You don't get to ask me that.

I brought...
I brought you this.

I wish it was more.
I'm gonna give you more.

Why are you here?

You can finish your cigarette.

There's a gate over there.
You can let yourself out.

Hey, Maya. How are you?

My mom says hi.

Cool.
Tell her I said 'hi' too.

Let me go find
someplace quiet to talk.

What's up?

They let you out?
That's great!

Yeah, I guess so.

Sorry I didn't text you
to let you know.

It's been kind of hectic
around here.

My mom is taking me
out of school

for the rest of the semester.

I don't know why.

I mean, I do,

but I think
they're all overreacting.

They just want you
to feel better.

I am feeling better.
That's what's frustrating.

Anyways...

My mom wants me
to get off the phone.

Ok.
Well, can I come see you?

Yeah, any time.

Oh, this is not nice.

You gotta throw up.

I just...

Don't be by me.

I'm not going to leave you
in here by yourself.

I don't think...

I don't care. You should've
left me at home by myself.

Jules, it's...

Everyone is looking at me
like I'm fucked up.

Do you get that?

I'm...

I think they're happy
to see you.

I'm embarrassed.

I'm proud of you.

You have a lot of cats.

We do, and they all need homes.

Hi.

These guys are great.

Uh-huh. I love this one.

Hello. Hi.

Hi.

I don't know whether
I want a cat or a dog or...

I can show you the dogs.

Was that a cat?

Hey.

Maybe a cat.

Yeow! Wow.

Let's...
Can we see the dogs?

- Yeah, definitely.
- Yeah.

Hey, baby. Hello.

That one is beautiful.

She's very beautiful. Very calm

Yeah.

Hey, puppy dog. Hey.

I can't, I can't take it.

- Yeah, it's hard.
- I want all of them. I know.

Hey.

- I'll take this one.
- Ok.

C'mon!

Can you jump up in there?

Oh, good boy!

Hey!

Hello. Hey.

This is my truck,
and it is a good truck.

Hello.

You and I are going to go all
kinds of places in this thing.

I'm Anne.

Hi, Anne, nice to meet you.
I'm Maya.

Maya, nice to meet you!

- Hi.
- Jules.

Jules, nice to meet you!

- Barbara.
- Barbara, nice to meet you.

Thanks for having us today.

- Cold water.
- It's warming up.

Try and go
really high out of the water.

Do you wanna
go off the diving board?

Your mom's gonna
be here in a little bit,

but we can have
some fun before then.

You can hang out here
if you want,

but I'm gonna do it.

Jules, what gives?

You haven't
talked to me all day.

What happened?

I don't know.

Didn't you like it?

Yeah, of course.

I don't feel right.

I do normal things,
and I don't feel right.

- It's ok. I've got you.
- No, you don't!

I just need
to be done for today.

I am so sorry, Maya.

I know that you thought that
we were going to be together,

but we're not.

I don't even think I'm gay.

I... I just have
a lot of other things

that I need to
deal with right now.

I gotta go.
I'll talk to you later?

Hey! There you are.

Hey!

What's a chemical synthesis?

Anabolism?

What do you call a polymer

formed by
condensation synthesis?

C'mon, I'm not gonna
do your homework.

You have it right there.

Polysaccharide.

You ok?

You don't want me
to finish this up for you?

No, I'm almost done.

Hey, come on.

I've got something
for your dorm room.

I'm hurrying up, ok?

How does it work?

Like, I get how
on a computer

you're playing a song
off of a file,

but how does it work
on a record?

How does music come out?

You serious?

Yeah! It doesn't make any sense.

I mean, did you ever have
a music box as a kid?

Um...

Well, the needle is made of
a very, very small diamond.

There's a diamond?

Yeah. And, um...

There's these
really tiny grooves...

...that it drags along,

and as it drags along
it creates these vibrations,

or sound waves,

and it travels up the arm
to an electronic sensor,

which then
sends it to a speaker.

And that's essentially
how it works.

Yeah, that makes sense,

'cause I know it would spiral
all the way to the end.

Yeah.

And hopefully
what you hear is sublime.

Or, not the band, but you know.

Got it.

Or it makes you move.

I don't wanna
freak you out or anything,

but... I have to tell you
that I like you.

I mean,
I don't wanna change anything,

because I like
hanging out with you.

You know,
I like that we're friends.

But, yeah.

How long have you felt this way?

Not long.
This is pretty new.

I'm gay.

Wait. I mean, I kinda figured,
but you're like all the way?

Yeah.

Yeah. I probably
shouldn't have brought that up.

- So it's fine?
- Yeah.

I mean...

Sorry.

Uh. So, give me your hand.

Like this?

You've done this before, right?

Yeah, but...

Like that?

I don't like that.
I don't like feeling it.

Oh... Yeah.

It takes me out of it.

Sorry.

Can you go faster?

Thanks.
It feels really good.

Um, what do you want me to do?

Can I fuck you?

Nah, it's all good.

I can make myself cum.

Is that alright?

Yeah.

Is that?

Is that, um...?

You have a shower, right?

Do you need a towel?

Yeah.

There's a dude over there
just gave me the thumbs up.

He thinks I'm on a hot date
with a young girl.

I figured they'd think
you were my daughter.

I saw her.
I saw her last week.

It felt so good.

That's amazing!

Yeah. I mean,
we'll see where it goes,

but it's a step.

I brought my dog
to play with my grandkids.

How many kids does she have?

I don't - two or three.

I mean,
I wasn't there very long.

But I'm just
really proud of her.

I'm gonna go back next week.

- Yeah!
- So we'll see, but that's...

It's a step.

How about you? How's Jules?

Uh, she's ok.

Um...

She's staying with her mom.

Well, that's good, right?

Um, we started
a water therapy class.

That's probably great
for both of you, right?

Yeah. What do you do?

I work the pumpjacks.
Oil derricks.

Whoa! How is that?

It's good.
Business is really good.

What about school.
What are you studying?

I haven't decided yet.

I'm trying to
figure that out right now.

I'm actually thinking about
not doing classes next semester

and just going
on a trip instead.

Um, 'cause it feels so weird
going back to normal.

Because it isn't.

Well, you don't have to go back.

Yeah, take some time.
Get your bearings.

This is boring advice,

but you ought to think about
something stable, like nursing,

becoming a nurse.

The life just went
out of your eyes.

That's pretty fucking boring.

What about you?
Do you have a girlfriend?

You know what...

I don't know
what I'm talking about.

Don't worry about it.
Cheers.

Cheers.

Do you wanna do a shot?

Oh, fuck yes. Yes.

Yeah, hello.

Hello.

She's a good girl.

Yeah, yeah.
What a good doggie.

I'm gonna text Luis.

- What's up?
- What's up, man?

How you doin'?
Hey, Maya.

No Jules?

No. It's nice
to see you, too, though.

So sad. Good to see you!

Let's get rid of that stuff.
C'mon, guys.

Excuse me.

Alright, guys.

You can set your stuff
over there.

I'll let y'all get settled up.
I'll go grab some drinks.

See y'all soon.

We'll blow that
air mattress up later.

It's more better.

Do you think there's a safe
place for my backpack?

Um, probably underneath
the mattress over there.

I think I'm just
gonna wear it.

Do you live here?

I live a couple blocks away.

Do you wanna get out of here?

Yeah.

I... I have some bad news.

What?

I live with my parents,

so I don't have anywhere
for us to go.

What about you?

I have an idea, though.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

So, how are the boys at Bill's?

I don't want to talk about work.

Aw, c'mon. I wanna know.
I mean, you look tired.

No, I feel blessed.
I feel healthy.

Yeah?

Yeah! I've been working out.

Yeah, right.

I'm serious. Feel my leg.

- What?
- Squeeze it.

Right?

Sure.

I can run over a mile now.

It works.

It does.

You know what...
I got a new dog.

And I saw my daughter.

Aw, no shit!

Well, that's good.
That's really great!

Yeah, it's really good.

You know what -
you want another?

Yeah.

Can we get some more?

We got something to celebrate.

Yeah!

Alright, c'mon. Let's go.

I wanna take a look...

Let's go.
No, no, no.

Let me take you home.
C'mon.

C'mon. C'mon, c'mon.

- This way.
- Alright.

And no way
I'm letting you drive.

I know it.

Oh, shit.
Oh, fuck.

Nah, I'm ok.

Alright.

I love you. Do you know that?

Yeah, I know that.

Drink it.

Hi.

Do you wanna stay here tonight?

No, I'm gonna
sleep on the couch.

I won't do anything.

I bet.

God! Please stay
in here with me.

- Scoot over.
- Yay!

Noooo!

Yes! Time to wake up!

- No!
- Wake up.

- Wake up.
- Why?

So mean.

Wake up.

- Good mornin'.
- Mornin'.

What time is it?

It's 4:30.

Oh, holy shit.

I'm sorry I got so shitfaced.

Ah, it's alright.
It happens to the best of us.

Sugar?

No.

Yeah, I need to
get you back to your truck.

Oh, fuck that's right.

Ok.

Feel alright?

Yeah.

Oh, my god.
Oh, my -

Here. I'm so sorry.

I am so sorry.

Slow down, slow down...

Slow down.

Aw, I know. I know.
Shhhh.

This is so cool!

That feels so good.

That was amazing!

Thank you!

Hey, do you wanna
get out of here?

Go find something to eat?
I can pay for myself.

Um, I'm just gonna stay here
for a bit and take a nap.

Ok.

I can tuck you in.

Make you into a burrito.

Thanks for coming to get me.

You're welcome.

So, where am I taking you?
Back to school?

Can I talk to you
about something?

Last night I was with this girl,
and it was so great...

And then the next day

all I could think about
was Jules.

And it makes me
really sad because,

as much as I love Jules,

we never had a night like that

and I don't really
know what to think.

Well, I'll tell you what...

The sun's gonna be up
in about 20 minutes.

Why don't I just
take you to my house?

You can meet my dog,
I'll make you breakfast.

And I gotta go to work;

you can have
the whole place to yourself.

And figure out, you know,
what your next move is.

That's really nice. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hey, c'mon in.

That's my dog Towns.

Oh, my goodness.

Hi.

He's been feeling pretty bad.
He was kinda sick the other day.

Hey. Hey, there.

He's definitely
doing better, though.

What's her name?

Who?

- Your ex-wife.
- Oh.

Emily.

We don't have to talk about it
if you don't want to.

No, it's ok.

That was the worst time
of my life.

That's the closest I've
ever been to being suicidal.

I loved her, and I loved them.

I just didn't love us,
if that makes any sense.

Did you get a divorce?

No.

We're still married.
She's still my wife.

The kids don't give a shit
about money.

I could've been broke,
I could've been a drunk.

But ignoring them
was unforgivable.

You're working on that, though.

I guess, kind of.

I went and saw my daughter

and I tried to give her money,
and she wouldn't take that.

I asked her
about her brother, Marco;

she wouldn't tell me
anything about him.

She wouldn't even
let me see my grandkids.

I really fucked my life up.

I really fucked their lives up.

Aw, Towns.

Tired, tired man.

He likes you, though.

For true equality,

we need to add big G,

the universal
gravitational constant.

This is just a number,
a constant of the universe,

which tells us how strong
the gravitational force is...

You ready?

I hate coming here because
we never actually talk.

We just sit here and eat.

Isn't that the point?

You know what I mean.

Have you talked to David lately?

He's actually DJ-ing this, like,

corporate,
private party thing tonight.

That sounds horrible.

Yeah, I know.

He told me about you guys.

Yeah. I don't really
wanna talk about it.

Ok.

I need to call my mom
so she can pick me up,

so I can go
meet up with David.

It's ok, I can take you.

- Are you sure?
- Uh-huh.

You should come in
and say hey,

hang out for a bit.

Yeah, I'll say hi to him.

It could be fun.

Ok.

Do you think
they'll let us in?

- Hey.
- What are you guys doing here?

We're your plus-ones.

This is so lame.

Yeah.

Well, it's good to see you guys.

Remember that mix
I told you about?

Which one?

This one...
Tell me if you like it.

I love you.
