Keep in Touch (2015) - full transcript

I'm here today

to talk to you
about destinations.

Where are you going?

Where do you see
yourselves going?

In life,

we're all on these journeys,
these adventures towards something.

Now try for a minute

to forget about where you
are and how you got here.

What is your destination?

Maybe you want to
be a millionaire.

Rich-as-fuck cat with cars and planes and wives and ex-wives and kids.



That's a destination.

Or maybe you want
something simpler.

A home.

That works.

Now, with your
destination in mind,

think about the vehicle
that takes you there.

The vehicle that carries
you along this journey.

Some of you tried
some illegal vehicles

and that didn't work.

But let me ask you, what
is a vehicle of choice

versus a vehicle of necessity,
or laziness, or greed?

What's this?

But that's...
Just you just told me to...

I'm just messing
with you.



And honestly,
I think it's better if you come back next week.

Okay.
I mean I won't get into trouble if I don't...

You know,
he told me to reschedule you yesterday and I forgot.

Oh!

The shit's got to stop.

How old is your
little girl? Two?

Look...

We've been through a lot.

I'm going to go.Yeah.

The goal here,
is to give you something that your vehicle needs.

I'm talking about
a renewable,

recyclable, inexhaustible
source of fuel.

Fuel for any vehicle.

I'm talking about
self-worth.

Confidence.

Pride.

Come. Follow me.

Do you want a massage?

Er, no. No.
I'm all right.

Trust me. You're
going to love this.

Whoa! That? No?

Okay.

Uh, you remember
that girl, Tina Cardozzi?

We went to middle
school with her.

Hmm. Yeah, vaguely.

Okay.
Would you like to see what she looks like now?

Okay.

Yeah! Fuck yeah!

Jesus.Right?

Who knew?

She was so quiet.

Now she's not.

Ah, if I had a
time machine.

How do you turn
this thing off?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

You have any
discoveries like this?

Dammit. You jack?

No.

You should jack. Yeah.

You should
definitely jack.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Yeah!
Mmm, mmm.

Should I get
back to work?

Right. Yeah.Thank you.

Hello! Un momento.

Okay, so she's got, like,
three more that I've seen.

Okay. This one?

Takes place
by a lake, okay?

It starts off really romantic.
But it doesn't end romantic.

Hola.

Come in.

Room service.

Finally!

Okay? Okay, ciao.

"Karin Parcel crashed her car
when she hit a patch of ice.

"Her daughter, Annie, was
also killed in the accident.

"Karin is survived by her husband Dallan
and their younger daughter Jessica."

Whoa, whoa! What the
fuck you guys doing?

Hey, hey, hey. What're
you guys doing?

What's the matter
with you?

Hey, you remember
Annie Parcel?

Annie Parcel?

Of course, I remember
Annie Parcel. She died.

Yeah, yeah. I looked
her up last night.

You didn't
know about that?

No, I had no idea.That must've been a shock.

Yeah. I was wondering
what happened to her.

Figured may be she'd
be on Broadway by now.

Wow. You and her had a thing.
I sort of remember that.

You were like
best friends.Yeah.

She was like your
little best friend.

Yeah. She was
something like that.

Wow.

What, uh, what happened
to her family? Do you know?

Um...

I don't know.
Her mom died in the accident.

Her dad moved away
a couple years later.

It's really sad.

Yeah. Depressing.

Let's go.

How did you
not know that?

I don't know. I just...

I've been away
for a while, I guess.Yeah.

Hey.

You should think about workin' out,
on a separate note.

Beautiful puneta.Thanks.

Thank you! You're welcome.

Puneta. Puneta.

Mrs. Granger's
fourth grade class play,

Love Birds.

I'm gonna fly out of here
right this second.

No, don't go.
How do you know you won't just fall to the ground?

Because I'm a bird.
Birds were made for flying.

Flying and flipping.

Flying and floating.

Dipping and flipping.

Flying and diving. Flying and diving.

We're made for the air.

We could go anywhere.

You should
come with me.

I can't come with you.

Well, I'll send
you a postcard.

I'll miss you. I'll miss you too.

This song
is calledWalk Away.

have to tell me

remind you of that

♪ What are you going to do

Create a goal.

Focus on that goal.

Watch it carefully.

Observe the goal,

and see it in every
finite detail.

What does it make you feel?

Where's it going?

In order to obtain that goal,
you need to let go of that fear.

Hey, Romeo.

What you doing?

Nothin'.

No, I'm just, uh...
I'm just going for a walk.

All right.
Well, then walk.

There you go.

Hands out
of the pockets.

Yeah, give it gas.

You broke it.

I'm putting you in charge
of this plot of trees.

They're not doing
so hot and, uh,

I want you to
bring 'em back.

Are you serious? Yeah.

I know nothing
about horticulture.

I think it'll be good for you.
To have your own territory.

Plus, you know, guys
don't really like you.

They think
you're a pussy.

Can't mix pussies
with fighters, Colin.

Okay.

But I still don't know what the hell to do with trees.

Uh... Fertilizer, water.

Cut some of
the dead weight off.

Shit, water, dead weight.

It's no sweat.

No, I don't think this
is a good idea.

Hey, dick face.
It's my nursery,

and those trees are
as good as dead anyway.

So I really don't care if you fuck it up,
just do your best.

And stop complaining.
Comprende?

Comprende.

You're gonna
do great.

That way you don't fuck up any of the working parts of the nursery.

My nursery.
Want you fucking it up.

They don't like you, Colin.

They think you're a pussy.

Shit, water, dead weight.

Stand clear of
the closing doors, please.

Are you following me?

No.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

How'd you like the show?

What's that?

How'd you
like the show?

Great.

Thanks.

When are you
getting off?

What stop?

This is the
Manhattan-bound 2 Train.

Bronx Park East.

Stand clear of
the closing doors, please.

What about you?

Same.

What're you doing?

Nothing.

All right.
You keep a look out.

Sure there's
no creeps out there.

Why is it that we think
that our lives have value?

That's interesting
to think about.

What system
do you use

to measure what
that value is?

The decimal system,

yards, meters.

How much money
you make?

And how many pancakes you
can eat in two minutes.

Why do we assign a value
to ourselves based on

things that sometimes are
beyond our control?

I invited you all here today to talk about an opportunity.

An opportunity.

When I say opportunity,

I'm not referring to an
easy way to earn a dollar.

I'm talking about

a set of circumstances that make it possible to do something.

To do what?

Well, that's up to you.

Yeah.

How do I know this isn't some pyramid scheme?

I'm so happy you
asked that question.

This is an alternative
business model.

It's the business
model of the future.

We live in the age
of entrepreneur...

This feels like
a scam to me.

Then maybe
it's not for you.

I'm not here to
convince you.

All I can do is offer you tools to create a successful business.

And a lifestyle designed
by you for you.

A chance to be
a better you.

This business is not for
the lazy or the pessimistic.

It's for those who want to know with certainty that if they put in the work

they will reap
the rewards.

And, we just happen
to have some of the

highest-quality wellness
products on the market.

If you weren't so damn pretty,
I might still have a chance.

Ladies, that is how
you handle a naysayer.

How'd it go?
You pumped?

Yeah. I'm getting
the hang of this.

You know you don't
have to do it, right?

No, I want to.

But you have such
a great job.

Babe, I'm not getting
any younger.

If we're going to have kids I want to spend every minute I can with them.

Whoa,

you're beginning to
sound like my mom.

You know, that
doesn't offend me.

Because I... I want a home.
I want a family.

Hmm.

Hi, Colin.Hi Ma.

Are you ready to embark on a life-changing journey with Vita?

I'm good.You and Dana together

could really... Ma, I'm not so much
the guy for the job, thanks.

When did you become such a crabapple?

He didn't get
it from me.

Noted.

Oh, come on.
It's just pie.

You know why they
call it just pie?

No.Here we go.

'Cause it's just pie.

Brilliant.

Are you done in there or what?
Because I have to get going actually.

You go on ahead.
We have a few more things to go over.

True.

Because you know, Mom,
it did take a long time to build those original pyramids.

Goodbye, Colin.Just saying.

I resent that.

He's in a funk.
I can't get him out of it.

Sexually?

No. His attitude,
his mood.

Baby, I love my son,

but you are a peach.

I mean, a real
good one.

He needs to
be reminded

of the beautiful,
dynamic girl he has in front of him.

You mean,
you want me to tell him I'm a catch?

No. Of course not.

You can't always
reason with men.

Sometimes the cow don't move until you prod it.

You need to
wake that boy up.

There is no one
that has no value,

there is no one that
has an absolute value.

We all have value.

Now that's some
Gandhi shit right there.

That's some John
motherfucking Lennon.

Right there.

Value is in the
eye of the valuer.

You know what? I want
everyone just to take

a moment and look
around the room.

There is no Youped
without you.

Without "you,"

it makes up at least
half of this company.

So why don't you have a look at the person opposite you,

sorry, next to you?
And I want you to say,

thank you.

Look at your neighbor
and say, thank you.

Thank you.

Do you want to know why I asked you guys to thank each other?

Because I just finished
negotiations, and...

...as of today,

we'll be joining the Amazon family in the latest of tech acquisitions.

Yes! Yes! It's all you!

You! Yes, You!
That is awesome, yes!

It's a Fossil.

Wow! Yeah.

I wanted to, uh,

I guess, show you
my thank you.

You know? Mmm-hmm.

So I know it doesn't
always seem like it.

I don't forget the fact that you and I set this thing up together.

You know?

Man, your contributions
in the beginning

burst something
really special.

Wow! Okay?

Thanks a lot.

Let's not,
let's not do that.

I'm sorry? Let's not to do that.

Sure. I know.We are... We are...

Okay? You put the
keys in the ignition,

I acknowledge that,

but I drove the car.

I backed it out of the driveway and I merged into four lines of traffic,

without my
headlights on.

You're not mad at me.

You are mad at yourself.

Now, I empathize.

Sadly, I cannot take
responsibility for it.

Why do some of us think our
own lives are worth nothing?

What apocalyptic force

encourages us and convinces us that this is true?

How do we get
beyond that?

I'm going to stay with my sister for the weekend.

Okay.

I think you need
some time.

By yourself.

By myself?

I'm a catch, Colin.

Okay, what are you
talking about?

What scares you in life?

What scares me? Really? Yeah.

Bears. Knives. Guns.

Mass shootings.You want to know
what scares me?

Failure.

Mediocrity.

Financial instability.
Being alone.

Okay. I'm scared of
those things too.

So what are you going
to do about it?

Are you breaking
up with me?

I don't know.

Be careful.

Colin, be careful.

Oh, shit!

Oh, fuck!

Hey.

Can you do
me a favor?

Yeah. Sure.

I think there's a bottle
of water over there.

That one. Mmm-hmm.

I'm not really a
morning person.

Yeah. Me neither.
Not normally.

So this isn't like a
normal day for you?

No, no. Not really.

Pass me the
other bottle.

How old are you?

36.

Oof.

Do you have a job?

Yeah, I work
at a nursery.

Okay.

So you like kids?

No, like trees. I
dig and plant trees.

But kids are fine.

Kids are fine.

So do you like use a
chainsaw and stuff or...

No, no. Not really.

So what do you do?

I fertilize.

I plant trees and...

Sometimes I cut
dead branches.

Yeah.

Ow!

Ow? Did that
really hurt?

No, I'm fine.

Ow.

I'm sorry.
So where were you?

I slept in.

Slept in? Yeah.

Did you get good sleep? I did actually, thank you.

No, I'm sorry, seriously.
Sorry about that.

Look, man. I want this
to work out for you okay?

Try harder.

Okay.

All right? All right, boss.

All right,
brother. Cousin.

Oh, hey. Do you
think you can uh,

do me a favor and pick me up tomorrow at 11:00?
I need to go somewhere.

Sure.

Cool.

You know it's really not much point fertilizing in this cold weather

but I didn't want to tell you because you're doing such a great job.

Mummy got
some new boots? BRAD JR: Mmm-hmm.

Fun. You know who paid
for those boots?

Daddy,
with child support.

Hey!

Hey. Hey.Hey.

Oh, right.

Oh, Colin, this
is Brad Junior.

Brad Junior, this is
your Uncle Colin.

What's up, Uncle Colin?

Oh, Brad Junior?

You hungry?

No. I'm good.

Are you up for some fruit?
You want some fruit?

Yes! Yeah?

I'm fine. You know
where we're going?

North Ave, right?

Yeah. Thanks, by the way.

Dude, don't
mention it.

It's just great to have my cousin back.

Remember that time
when we were kids?

You got that paintball gun for Christmas.

Thought you were playing hide and
seek but really I was just hunting you.

No, I don't really.

Well, you have to remember that.
Your mom, like, really lost it on me.

You had welts on your body for like a week.

Well,
you look like shit.

Yeah, uh,
I didn't get much sleep last night.

You, uh, depressed?

I think so.

Well, you know what, Colin, that's normal,
you know. This is all a process.

Yeah, I know.

So, uh...

Nursery keeping
you busy?

Yeah, yeah. It's, uh,

lot of long hours.

You know?
Lot of labor.

I usually end up...
I'm so tired

I just crash when
I get home.

Yeah? Yeah.

No late nights in
the Bronx buying dope?

No.

You sure? Yeah.

You growing anything else other than trees up there?

No.

You watch
a lot of porn?

I met a girl.

Hey, that's great.
Where did you meet her?

Oh, I have known her
since, you know,

she's from my home town.Mmm-hmm?

Yeah. Uh, singer.

Wow. She any good?

Oh, yeah, yeah,
she's real good, yeah.

She's in Brooklyn
you know, so... Oh.

That's...
That's great! Yeah.

That's really great.It's great.

You get out to
see her shows?

All the time.
I mean, sometimes...

A coup... Once.

What do you do, drive?

Drive? Oh, God, no.

Metro North.

The Metro North
to Brooklyn?

Well, Grand Central
subway to Brooklyn.

Why the fuck are you
telling me that?

You have been granted permission by the state of Connecticut

to leave the state for one reason and one reason only.

That's to work.

They didn't grant you parole
so you can go chasing tail

all over New York City
at all hours.

The only reason you're
sitting here with me

and not in prison,
is because your father,

God rest his soul,
left you a place to live

and your cousin
gave you a job.Right.

But let me be very
clear about this.

You're not
a free man.

Not a free man.You're not.

Sorry.Don't be sorry!

You know what happens in New York City after 12:00 a.m.?

Nothing good.

Nothing good happens in
New York City after 12:00 a.m.

You got it? Got it.

Repeat after me.

Nothing good
happens after 12:00 a.m.

Nothing good happens
after 12:00 a.m..That's right.

any trouble at all,
anything whatsoever,

you go back to jail?

New York City is
no place for you, Colin.

Look, Colin,
I get it okay?

Bad things happen
to good people.

Now you gotta
make a choice.

You gotta decide whether you're going to pick yourself up

and rebuild
from the ashes,

or you're going to stay...

...a depressed
little bitch

that dreams about
what he had

before God turned
his back on him.

Okay.

Think about that.I will.

Think about that.I'll think about it.

How're doing with
that watermelon, bud? Good.

Yeah?

It's an underrated fruit.

How did it go? Fine.

Yeah? Yeah.

You're good if we stop somewhere before I drop you off?

Yeah, as long as it's not a strip club.

Hey, Junior, you want
to go to a strip club?

You will someday,
my man. You will.

No, seriously,
where are we going? Booty call.

You know, gotta, gotta
see about a girl.Mmm-hmm.

His mum
wants to move away.

What,
like far away?

Yeah, Florida.

And what does
that mean?

That, uh, probably,
I guess

get him in
the summers hopefully,

and she'll take him
the rest of the year.

Yeah.

It's not what
you want, right?

No. No, I mean,
I want him all the time.

You know, I love him.

But I don't know if that's realistic,
you know?

I mean, as it is,
I'm probably going to need to get some help,

may be an au pair
or something.

Hmm, remember that...

What was the name
of that, uh...

That housekeeper
your dad used to have? Which one?

Zhu... Zhu...
Zhuzhu Zura?

Zuzu Dudek.

Yeah, she was the best.
Ah, I miss her.

She didn't speak any English but God,
was she funny.

I used to tell her the wrong names for all the appliances

and she would be like looking for the vacuum cleaner

and she'd go to my mom,
and she'd be like,

"Have you seen
ze cocksucker?"

That's terrible.

When she found out
I was lying to her,

she just like spanked me,
and then quit.

She spanked you?
Really? Yeah, yeah. It was great.

I mean, if you wanted...

What are you doing?

Colin, seriously?

Come on, let's...
Let's go.

Oh, hey! Hey!

Hey.

What's up?

I just...
I wanted...

Sorry for leaving
the other day.

Oh. That's okay.

I know how it goes.

Wake up
in a strange place

with a strange girl.

No, no.
It's not like that.

I just...

I wanted to stop by in person and tell you that, uh...

You know, I can't
see you anymore.

So you came here to tell me
you can't see me anymore?

Yeah, I just thought
it would be rude, uh...

You know,
not to stop by.

You know,
I wanted to give a chance to say something

or if you want
to talk about it?

Oh?
Well, thank you for letting me down in such a polite fashion.

I'm very sorry.

It's okay.

Uh, I have to run, though.

Oh, okay. Do you want
to talk about it or...

I mean, you're welcome
to tag along, I guess.

Yeah, sure.Okay.

It's very gratifying to see this having
such an emotional effect on someone.

I'm Dallan Parcel.

Colin.

What are your thoughts?

It's beautiful.

It was inspired by the death
of my daughter and wife.

I'm sorry.

Eerie, right?

You could almost feel
their presence here.

I see you met Colin.

I just did.

And how did you come
to join my daughter here?

Uh, we're dating.

What happened to
the other one?

He's still
hanging around but...

I'm not really.

I'm sorry, Colin,
if this is uncomfortable.

Jessie and I are
pretty candid about it.

It's fine.

All right. I'll leave
you two alone.

Colin,
do the right thing.

Excuse me?

Do the right thing
with my daughter.

I don't care
what you do,

just do the right thing.

Nice to meet you.

What do you think?

He's a nice man.

About the installation.

You know,
it's intense.

I like it.

I don't always
like his stuff, but...

This one I like.

I have...

I have to tell
you something.

Okay.

Listen, I just
got out of prison.

What for?

I hit a guy with my car.

It was an accident,

he's in a coma.

And if he doesn't wake up,
then I might be charged with manslaughter.

I know this must be really hard for you, but, uh...

Why would it be
hard for me?

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

I gotta go.

Were you drunk?

No.

No, it was an accident.

You want to get drunk?

Yes.

You were pretty young when they died, right?

Uh...

Yeah. I was five.

What was
your sister like?

You remember much?

Remember
a few things.

Mostly what people
tell me about her.

She was a musician too.

Wow.

She was
a perfect student,

gorgeous.

I think people only
tell me the good things.

Probably for the best.

She married or anything?

No.

She was only 15.

Cool.

My dad gave me this guitar.

He used to shower me
in gifts after she died.

Didn't know
how to play it.

Play any music?

Me? No.

It's too bad...

Could've been
a great musician.

Really?

I dunno.

Country song?

Maybe.

Hello?

Colin? Hi!

Hi, Dana.

How are you?

I'm okay.

That's good.

Uh...

I've been meaning to call.

I've just been so busy
with all the Vita stuff.

Yeah, you're still
working with Barbara?

Yeah.

Yeah, oh, she's
a great mentor.

That's great.

I'm really
happy for you.

How's life back
in the real world?

I'm raising myself up,
you know...

Just trying to keep my head down and get through this.

What's your plan?

Uh, you know, I don't
really have a plan.

I haven't thought
that far ahead.

Hey, I've been thinking of coming down
to New York for a Vita conference.

I'd love to see you.

Yeah.

Yeah, that...
That would be great.

I've missed you.

I've missed you.

I love you.

Love you too.

I just don't
have any filters.

What's wrong, hon?

I just got the phone
with Colin. I'm okay.

I don't think I've had
a real conversation with him

since he was a child.

Didn't help that I took him away from his father

at the height
of his puberty.

Barbara, it's fine.

I... I... I just
want to say,

things happen.

God knows why.

Things test us.

The two of you,

if you can get
through this?

He needs you, Dana.

He is so lucky
to have you.

Look at that,
no granules.

Nice.

Impressive.Thanks.

I do my best.

Who was that
on the phone?

Oh, that was a...

That was a girl,

who was...
Was my fiance.

What happened?

After the whole
accident thing, um...

Things got really
messy and...

It's a long story
but, um...

I guess we never really
talked about it, so...

Um...

That's why she called, so...

So she didn't want
to be a prison wife?

Basically.

Well...

Hello?

Jess, it's me.Fuck.

Just a second.Who is that?

You need to
leave right now.

Right the fuck now.

I'm sorry, Colin.

You've got a boyfriend? You just gotta go.

I'm really sorry.He didn't... You didn't
even buzz him up?

He has a key.
He has a key.

You're not serious? No, I'm serious.

Very serious.
Go, go, go.What do I do now?

I don't know.
I usually just let these things work themselves out.

This is crazy.

I can't see you anymore.
I'm sorry.

Hey, buddy...

Hey, hold it
right there.

Me?

Yes, you.

You're just gonna
walk by me like that?

Like what?

Okay, what's
the deal here, huh?

You special
or something?

What's with
the topless act?

I just got locked out.

Okay.

Yeah. I was
on the fire escape

and window shut
and couldn't get back in.

You locked yourself
out on a fire escape? Uh...

I just want
to get home.

I was just heading to the train,
is that all right?

Oh, yeah?
Where is home?

Uh, Ridgefield.

Connecticut?

That's 60 miles
from here.

Yeah, it's fine.

Sorry, am I in
some kind of trouble or...

You know what?
Get in the car.

No, I just...
But I'm...

Come on. Let's talk
about it in the car.

Are you sure? OFFICER: Yeah.

Come on.

Just get in.
Get in. It's warm.

Watch your head.

Jesus Christ.

What's this?

Locked himself
out of his house.

Hey, it's chilly
out there today.

Are you one of those
polar bear gay guys?

What? This house you got
locked out of,

Yeah.someone else's house?

Yeah, my friend.

Look, uh,
she kicked me out.

It's embarrassing.What did she
kick you out for?

You do something? No, no. I didn't.

There's another guy.

Apparently,
she likes him better.

So she sent me
out back...

She's a musician.Ah.

That's rough.

Is he a beanie shopper?

What's that?

You know,
one of those guys who lives in Brooklyn and wears beanies.

A beanie shopper.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I guess so.

That's rough.Yeah.

Right, come on.
Let's take him to 125th.

Uh... No, wait, hold on a second.
I actually didn't do anything wrong.

Hey... Relax.
125th Street, train station.

Oh.Sit back and relax.

Enjoy the ride.

Oh, great, thanks.

Fear.

Boy, that can just suck the air out of confidence in two seconds flat.

But confidence

is not the
absence of fear.

It's respecting

that natural
and innate instinct

that is fear.

Fear can fuel,

fear can drive you along

or it can drive you away.

Ow, fuck!

It can be utilized.

It can be harnessed.

It can be changed.

And suddenly,
you have confidence.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I know. I should
have called, but...

You're fired.

Seriously?

You can't fire me.

Uh... I just did.

Wait a sec.

How do I get un-fired?

Let's go.

You're a dick.

Okay.

You good?

They must have had a field day with you in prison.

Brad, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Brad.

I'm sorry.

El Jefe!

Fill this out.

I already filled
one of these out.

That was before
I fired you.

All right,
whatever.

I like your spirit.

Yeah? Yeah.

You can take a punch.

You got that
Glennon fighter in you.

Yeah?
Was my dad a fighter?

No. But I am.

So what do I have to do to get you to show up here on time?

Want me to get you
an alarm clock? No.

I'm... Buy you a rooster?

Brad, I'm sorry.
All right?

I just,
I had a thing with this girl and then ended up staying...

Oh, oh, oh...
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa!

A girl?

Yeah.

Is she cute?

She's very pretty.

She redhead? No, she's blonde.

Like, dirty blonde.

Yeah, yeah,
like dirty blonde.

Cool.

Anyway, it's over now.

Which is probably
a good thing

since my parole
officer said

that I shouldn't even
be in the city, so...

Well, speaking of
your parole officer,

you might not have to
worry about that anymore.

What're you talking about?

Let's just say
I took care of it.

Brad, what the fuck
are you talking about?

"Colin Glennon has a gift.

"He has a gift for nature.

"A gift for horticulture and a gift for working with a team."

End quote.

"Colin has created a new kind of grafting system

"and has revolutionized
my nursery."

Etc, etc.

"The other boys all look
up to him with respect."

Oh, this is
my favorite.

And I quote,

"He is pretty much fluent
in Spanish at this point,

"which is quite impressive
since he knew nothing

"only three weeks ago."

End quote.

Cousin Brad.

Excellent.

What kind of bullshit scheme
are you tryin' to pull here?

I didn't have
anything to do with that.

I take this shit very
seriously, Colin.

You want to tell me what happened to your eye?

Oh, sporting injury.

A sporting injury.

What sport were
you playing?

Uh... It's like a fighting kind of a sport.

A fighting sport?

Yeah. It's like boxing.

But with less rules.

It's how you
gain respect.

It's how you gain
respect, huh? Mmm-hmm.

Can I remind you of what you signed when you agreed to your parole?

It says, "I will not
affiliate or associate

"with any gang member,

"criminal organization, or
individual member thereof."

I like you, Colin.

But you're making it
very difficult to help you.

And I understand that.

Completely, Mr.
Harrison, but you don't have anything to worry about.

This is helping me.Yeah. This?

Yeah. I feel
a part of something.

I mean, isn't that what
some of this is about?

I mean, don't I get a little bit of help,
a little bit of lax here?

No fighting!

I saw a barrel

Hmm.

I don't discriminate,
I'm cool.

Hello, Colin.What's up?

Hey.

Colin, this is my
new lady friend, Jessie.

Hi. What are
you doing here?

Oh, well I found
these and these.

Then I found this place on the Internet.

And it has
a fantastic website.

Thank you.

Colin, so Jessie was just telling me she grew up around here.

Wow!

Small world.Yeah.

Right? Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, do you know a girl
named Tina Cardozzi?

She grew up here, too.

She's an actress?

You want me to show

Uh, sure.
Thank you, Brad.

Oh, okay. I see

You two have like this

They look delicious.

Right. Well, they will be
in two or three months.

Tomatoes are actually
a lot easier than trees.

I don't really understand the importance of soil,

but, apparently it's the secret to a good tomato.

Really? Yeah.

Hey, you can't just
use the same soil

as you would use for basil or lavender or perennials or anything like that.

And, um,
you can't water them too often.

I also read that salt water
makes them delicious

but I think it also
ruins the soil so...

It's probably
just a tradeoff.

Yeah, it's my house.

Did you live in it before

Uh, it was my

Oh. Were you close?

No.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Ah, sort of.

I lived here

My mom and I moved away

Oh, that sucks.

Sorry my dad left the place such a mess, though.

Trying to fix it up now.

Left you a badass TV.

Oh, yeah, no,
that doesn't work.

Okay.

We could go anywhere.

You should come with me.

I can't come with you.

Well,
I'll send you a postcard.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you too.

What is this?

Class play.

Where'd you get this?

I should have told you.

Will you shut up?

Colin, move over next to Annie.
Over next to Annie.

That's nice.

Nice smile. All right,
you're the sweetest little birdies.

Oh, look at these
cute little birdies.

They're so cute.

Oh, I love that.
I love that smile.

I only went to your show
because I was curious.

Now, Colin,
bring the flowers to Annie

because she is
the star birdie.

And you got to fuck me.

Bonus.

Hope I lived up to
your expectations.

That's not fair.

Fair?

Fuck you!

Please... Just stay away from me.

We are so,
so happy to see each other.

Oh! Hi!

Hi, Colin.

I'm Dana.

I'm an old friend
of Colin's.

We grew up
together. Annie.

I was just leaving so...

You want more pasta?

I'm fine, thank you.

You're not
going to eat?

No. I'm fine.

These tomatoes
are delicious.

I want to... I slept with someone.

I'm sorry.

The girl who was just here,
I slept with her.

You shit.

Do you love her?

I don't know.

Do you...
Do you love me?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Thanks.Mmm-hmm.

What are you
doing today?

Hmm.

I don't know.

Colin! Mom!

Hey!

I'm so, so glad you
decided to come.

Okay. Thinking of you alone
in that sad house.

This is perfect.

Sorry, we're a little late.You are late,
but that's okay.

The main speaker
hasn't started yet.

You're going
to love him.

That's awesome.

Is that the bano?

Now hurry.I'll be right back.

The bano? Did he learn
Spanish in jail?

I guess so, yeah.

I thought I was the only man up in this bitch.

Uh, excuse me?

You know...

I thought I was the only guy left in here...
It's all women.

Ah.

Lot of powerful women
obviously, you know?

Yeah, so you're here
for the conference?

Oh, no, no, no.
I'm just, uh,

visiting a friend.

Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.

Well, you know,
these women,

they are an example

of the ability to change
in the midst of so much fear.

You know,
fear of growing old and not making enough money

and being alone,
you know.

And yet they attack it
head-on.

You know, there's nothing stopping these ladies,
you know?

And I find that...
Find that very appealing.

Well, I'm not sure everyone would agree with you on that, but...

Yeah, well, you know,

not everyone agrees
about the truth

but that's what the justice system is for.

Right.

I'll see you later,
man.Yeah.

He's a New York Times
bestselling author

and the founder
of the Wade Into Gold

Institute for Adolescents in Foster Homes.

He is not your
average success story.

Let's have a warm
Vita welcome, ladies,

Dr. Harry Clark.

Thank you, thank you.
Thank you.

Hello. Hello, ladies.

Uh... It is a pleasure to
be here. I'm Dr. Harry Clark.

Today, I want to
talk to you about examples.

You know, perception.
How you see things and how you perceive people.

We each have a version
of ourselves

that we are...

...projecting.

When you're sitting there
in your chairs right now,

and you look up
on the stage,

what kind of a person
do you see before you?

Do you think it's
a regular person,

just some guy,

or, do you think it's someone
that has a lot of confidence

and a lot of swagger?

I'm going to run a little bit of an experiment right now.

So, I'm going to ask you guys to do something a little...

A little strange,

and that is,
I'd like you guys to close your eyes.

But, I'd like you to
really close your eyes.

I don't want any peek...
I see you back there.

No peeking.

All right, just keep your eyes closed.
I swear it's gonna be worth it.

And I'll let you know when to open your eyes, okay? So...

Now, open your eyes.

What do you see now?

How much self-worth

does this man have?

I'm just playing with you,

but you get my point. I hope.

Hey.

Hey man,
get out of here.

I just want
to talk to Jessie.

No, man. Go home.

Jessie. I'm sorry.

I'll leave you alone,
I promise you.

Just let me explain.Just go home.

Take your hands off me, man.

Oh, my God.

Jessie, just hear
me out okay?

It wasn't supposed
to end like that.

I was wrong. I'm sorry.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey,
asshole, get off him

What are you doing?

I didn't know she was dead,
all right? I hadn't seen her 15 years.

I didn't know.

Come here!

I should have told you.
I'm sorry.

Why are you always
causing trouble, huh?

Put that back on your head, man.
Your nose is bleeding.

Are you listening
to me?

All right. Come on.

Yeah, I know about you.

That's your thing,
right?

Preying on girls
with emotional baggage,

so you can sleep
with them.

Going back to prison
for a long time.

Come on in.

Stand up.

Officer, I would be happy to give you my statement now.

I was assaulted
by this man.

Mmm.hmm.

This convict.

You like fighting?

No.

No?

It looks like you're
getting pretty damn good.

Well, that guy's
an asshole.

You're right.
He is an asshole.

But you're a bigger asshole.

Me? Yeah. You. You know
how I know?

No.

That's what I do all day long.
I work with assholes.

But you, Colin,

you're a very special
kind of asshole,

because you can't see
what's right in front of you.

But you want
everyone else to watch

as you continue

to make an asshole
of yourself.

You got it all.
You got the family,

you got the job,
you got the cute girlfriend,

but for some reason...

You keep on wanting
to break your parole.

If you ask me,
a punch in the face is exactly what you needed.

Okay, well,
I got that covered.

You tagged him
pretty good too.

I did.Yeah.

So I guess I'm
going back to jail?

Right there,
Colin, hold on.

Where's he going?

Could have
broke my nose.

Sir, sir...

Let me out of here?

He... He assaulted me.

Well, according to the statement that the girlfriend

you both share gave Officer Dugan here,
you swung first.

He was threatening her.

Oh. Tell your lawyer.

I'll see you Thursday.Right.

What happens
with this?

Oh, I don't think you have anything to worry about.
It'll all settle out.

Maybe not for
this asshole, but...

I'm sitting right here!

Thanks.

All right, look,
we're going to grab a bite to eat.

We'll be back in three or four hours.
You comfy?

Yeah, probably go by
Energy Kitchen,

grab a soy burger
or something,

you want a... Energy Kitchen?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Take it easy all right? You're watching your figure?

You were heavier
as a child?

I can tell.

Oh, my God.
Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You want us to drive you
to the hospital? No, Mom, I'm fine.

Take me to
the train, please.

How was
the conference?

Fine. How was
the precinct?

Fine.

I think me being
close to you

is not a good thing
right now.

Well, you know,
I think anyone being close to me

is not a good thing
right now.

Stop that.

Stop doing that.

You're a good person and you need to stop hiding from it.

Sorry.

No, you're right.

You're right.

You have nothing
to be sorry about.

It's really good
seeing you.

Keep in touch, okay?

I will.

I only wish I had the nerve to bring them to you when I first found them.

Are your parents

Yeah, my mother is.
My father...

...uh, passed away
this year.

I'm sorry
to hear that.Thanks.

Were you close
to him? Not really.

Hmm.

my father...

They are not ours,
Colin.

They are on loan from God.

Not very much.

Anyways, I don't really know what that has to do with this song,

but, thank God for change.

Um... Sorry, I'm going
to play a new song.

Yeah. I hope you like it.

♪ Oh, my love you know
I've been around

♪ Though I might seem
young to you now

♪ Yes, my love
I've seen it all before

♪ Not had anything to live for

♪ Mmm

♪ Been through so much wrong

♪ Looking for right

♪ Wasted all those
sleepless nights

♪ Trying to dream about

♪ Your hand around mine

♪ I tried to turn a page

♪ And write something new

♪ But the funny thing is

♪ All came back to you

♪ Ooh

♪ You kept your head down

♪ For so long

♪ Never taking your feet

♪ Off the ground

♪ And your eyes have
gotten so blind

♪ They can't see

♪ What you've become to me

♪ We were strangers waiting

♪ For the time to pass

♪ But Henry, it has
come and gone

♪ And here we are

♪ Tipping hats
and shaking hands

♪ To spare each
other's hearts

♪ Hearts

♪ Ooh

All right, we're going.JESSIE: Okay.

♪ No one ever said
it would be easy

♪ No one ever said
that you'd succeed

♪ Sometimes it takes a lot of blood,
sweat and tears

♪ And from the looks of things
Darlin', you're gonna bleed

♪ Come out looking like
a deer in headlights

♪ Waiting for somebody
to wake you up

♪ You can smell the coffee

♪ You can face the music

♪ Don't know
where you're going

♪ When the going gets tough

♪ Shit, water, dead weight

♪ Shit, water, dead weight

♪ You gotta toe the line
You gotta see the sign

♪ Shit, water, dead weight

♪ Dead water, shit weight

♪ Water weight, dead shit

♪ There's no way around it

♪ Once you found it

♪ Shit, water, dead weight

♪ There's no way around it

♪ Once you found it

♪ Shit, water, dead weight
