iGilbert (2021) - full transcript

Gilbert Gonzalez (Adrian Martinez), feels isolated from the world. He is 39, a virgin, obese and lives with his sarcastic, overprotective mother, who owns the Manhattan brownstone. Fearful of life and people, yet starving for human connection, Gilbert takes photos of women secretly, wherever and whenever he can. Enter Jana, (Dascha Polanco), a tenant in the building and the source of innumerable fantasies. Jana is a contradiction -- beautiful but haunted by her own insecurities that inhibit her from standing up to her ex-boyfriend Tony, (Raul Castillo), an Iraq war vet with PTSD. Gilbert dreams of rescuing Jana but doesn't believe she could ever love him, especially if she knew about all the secret photos. This love triangle becomes a battle for human connection which is increasingly difficult in our digital and disconnected world.



Dear God,
thanks for my cell phone.

It's my best friend.

I can film anything.



[crowd din]

I know how you feel.

[light European-influenced
music]



Hi. Cheese.

[background chatter]





I can film anyone.



[camera shutter clicking]



God, let her see me.



Jana, the most beautiful
thing in the world.



Hi sweetie.

There's a leak in my kitchen.

Okay.



Nobody sees me.







- Fuck you too.
- Shit.

[music fades]

Nobody recycles.

[light traffic din]

[keys jangle]

That's me as a kid,
but I was never skinny

and we never had a horse.

[melancholy
instrumental music]





This is what my mom
calls a snack.



Here are the rents, Ma.

Go wash your hands.



Thank you, God, for my room.

And for this lamp.

The only light
in all this darkness.



Nobody comes in here.



Nobody.

[melancholic music continues]











[mother]
The food is getting cold.







Jana



[mother calls]

Okay.



I stab myself
eight times a day,

sometimes 12,
if I eat too much.

[utensils clinking]

What are you, deaf?

[yells sharply]

[praying in Spanish] Jesus Christ son of God thank you
for this bounty we are about to receive.

Amen.

[speaking in Spanish]
Oh, and please help my son to be a man.

Please.
Just, just look at him.

Ma, I'm right here.

[crinkling]

[people arguing
in distance]

[thumping]

[woman screams]

[speaking angrily in Spanish]
If your father was still alive today,

He would have grabbed this coward by the balls...

...and thrown him to the trash where he belongs.

[thudding]

[yelling in Spanish]
Shut up you two! Respect my husband's building...

...or I am going to call the police. Understand?

[door latch clicks]

Carmen,
Tony is leaving.

[Carmen speaks in Spanish]
How dare you?

[smooching]

[floorboards creak]

Fucking Tony.

I got you, Jana.

I got you.

The Mangu was slamming, Mama.

You're eating well,
aren't you?

That's how you raised me.

I signed the checks.

Put them in right away
and don't forget the receipt.

The devil is everywhere.

[papers shuffling]

What?

[mother] What?

Why are you staring at me?

I'm looking at you.

What do you see?

You're so handsome.

[laughs]

[scoffs]

[classical music playing
in apartment]



[phone beeps]

[coughing]





Pick it up,
pick it up.

[door squeaks]



[classical music continues]

[paper shuffling]

Good morning.

Fuck you too.

[breathing heavily]

No one listens,
recycle here.

[clinking and shuffling]

[plastic crinkles]

[man]
Ah, it's Thimble Dick.

[sighs]

[glass clinking]

[traffic din]

This place is like my balls:

necessary,
but rarely does anyone visit.

I've gotten used to the smells
of this place,

the coffee, the bacon,
the dying pussy.

No, she's beautiful.

Maybe.

Three eggs over medium,
sausage.

Medium sausage.

Do you have,
er, turkey sausage?

[low dramatic music]

Waiter?

Waiter, you promised me
wheat toast.

Huh, my god.

Pick it up.

But that's...

Manners.

She didn't even thank me.

It doesn't matter.



Is this my life?

[dramatic music plays]

[thunder rumbling
in the distance]

[lively Latin dance music]







[singing in other language]

















[singing in other language
continues]



[door latch clicks
in distance]

[floorboards creaking]

I figured it was you.

You have
a very distinctive walk.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

It's like a dying mouse.

[squeaks]

But, anyways,
the pipe is still leaking.

If you want
to check it out or...

There's no way I can look
at it till tomorrow.

Can you do it today?

Sure, I'll be down
in a minute.

Thanks.

[knocking]

Hey.

It's just me.

Does't matter.

Well, you know where it is.

I'm gonna go
get a smoothie,

it's so hot.
Do you want anything?

You.

Sure. Wait.
What did you just say?

Thank you, no.

You're so formal.

[sighs]

[slow mellow music plays]



Hey, how are you?

How are you?

[clinking]





My God,
this is where she loves.











You're my first and my last.



What?

Smack your pussy?



[laughs]

Like that?

[tapping]

Lower?

I'm doing it good?



What?

Really?



[grunts]

[fierce groan]

I'm close. Close.



[moans]

[startled gasp]

[pants]

[clunk]

You scared
the shit out of me.

Tell no one what you saw here.

[knocking]

[dog yapping]

When are you leaving?

Uh, there's a leak.

Looks like the pipes
were kicked.

Hurry up.

Funny.

I went to fucking Iraq for you.

Three tours.

I took a fucking bullet
for you,

for your freedom.

[sniffs]

So you can what?

Sit around here and
eat donuts, watch porno.

How did you-

Tell Jana I stopped by.

Did you fix it?

I need a part.

And that cost money.

[soft grinding]

If you lost some weight,

you wouldn't need
those things.

Flan?

- Hector.
- Whoa!!

When's the baby due?

I need a air gap body
with a cover nickel.

- How long?
- Eight and three-quarters.

- How wide?
- About two inches.

That's me.

[banging]

The cheap one, right?

No,
the best you got.

[tv plays in background]

[woman on tv]
He's, uh...

I think he's around 30s,
uh, he's wide,

uh, really, really tall,
and bald.

And I really hope
you can find him.

I don't want this to happen
to anybody again.

I'm,
I'm trying really hard.

Come on, let me take you
for some food.

- We can talk about this.
- No, no.

- Yo, stop. It's over.
- We've been through worse

than this! Come on,
let's just go talk.

It's over. It's been over.
Enough, Tony.

Fuck.

-Did you fix it?

- Huh?
- Leave him alone.

I'm just asking if he fixed it,
that's all...

You don't live here,
so don't worry about it.

- I have the part you need.
- Thanks, I'll be up in a...

I asked you a question.
Why won't you answer me, huh?

Please, I don't need this shit.

I have dance rehearsal tonight.
Hello!

With your fucking hula hoop,
like you're fucking 12?

- Hey!
- Hey, what?

Mind your own fucking business.
Get the fuck in there, man.

I don't know
what his fucking problem is.

You know, you think
I don't have feelings, huh?

That you can say whatever
the fuck you want to say?

And the wind is just going
to blow it

- before I fucking hear it?
- Come on, let's go upstairs.

- We'll talk about it upstairs.
- No. We're not going upstairs.

Oh, my God.
This is proof that I hate me.

Don't say that.
Don't say that, come on.

It's true. Three fucking years
of you fucking hitting me

and fucking me
like I don't manner.

And on top of that, you want
to be cheating on me.

Like-like-
like you're a fucking whore,

just sharing your dick
with everybody on the block

- like it's a fucking toy.
- My head is fucking killing me.

You don't get it.
My head is...

- That's what you always do.
- I can't sleep.

I keep reliving it
in my dreams.

Fucking limbs flying off
of Mikey's body.

Gasoline,
I can't stop smelling

the fucking gasoline
in my head, Jana.

What you do, you go fuck every
hoe you see because of Iraq?

Hmm?
North Korea releases missiles

and you wanna go fuck
somebody in the ass?

God damn it,
it's the fucking truth.

It's not the truth.
It's not the truth.

Do something, Gilbert,
you fucking asshole.

- Go back on your meds or s...
- No, no, no, no!

they make me fucking sick,
I already told you that.

I can't do this anymore.
I rather be dead

- than to fuck with you.
- Don't say that.



Stupid ass.

[hammering]

[clanking]

Do you want some candy
or whatever?

No, I'm allergic to sugar.

My God.

I would die
if I couldn't eat sweets.

[laughs] Sucks.

[sniffs]

Listen.
Sorry about Tony.

Ah, yeah.

So you're a dancer?

How do you know that?

[laughs]

I hear you dancing
in your room, you know.

Tango, it's cool.

Well,
I'm trying to be.

It's a place called Ricolettis.

You should swing by,
take a few lessons.

Yeah.

[dramatic music plays]

Tony is a tear drinker.

What?

A tear drinker.

What is that?

He enjoys seeing you cry.

He drinks your tears
for nourishment.

And that's
what he'll always be.

[sighs]

Listen, maybe.
I don't know.

He,
he has his own issues.

Yeah, yeah.

So I found some brownies
in the pipes.

I cleaned it out.
You should be good,

but any more trouble,
you let me know.

Yeah. Um, thanks.
Goodnight.

Goodnight.







More coffee or water...
coffee or water?

Hey, sweetie.

[dramatic music playing]

[distant laughing]

Jana,
you're sunlight.





Come with me.





My God.

[inaudible]

[woman speaking in Spanish]

I don't know.

Maybe you transfer
at the next stop.

[woman speaking in Spanish]

Somewhere else.

[woman speaking
in Spanish]

Push.

[woman speaking
in Spanish]

That's fine.

That's fine.

[yells] Sick!

She's right.

[rustling]

I see you.

Two hours looking for you.

You hear me?
Two hours looking for you.

Okay.

I'm sorry
it leaked again.

He won't give me
my keys back.

Once he starts,
he just doesn't stop.

[coughing]

That's was a good pipe.
You need a new pipe.

[floorboards creaking]

You've met Lenin?

No.

Lenin.
[smooching noises]

Are you hungry?

Want a turkey sandwich?

[whispered thoughts]
It's happening.

[laughing]

You mean like sex?

What?

Like a turkey sandwich,
when you think I'm the turkey

and you're the bread.

I'm the turkey
and you're the bread

and I'm on top of you
or you on top of me?

And what?
The tomatoes are my tits?

Sorry,
I'm not good at this.

Do you want a turkey sandwich
like food?

My mom cooked.

I mean, I'd invite you up,
but she hates you.

Hmm. Of course.

It always smells
so good of there, yeah.

Tony is always like, "Oh,
I bet that bitch can cook."

Nice.

Um.

[clattering]

Take this up,
get you a pipe.

I owe you a sandwich.

What?

[light laughter]

[laughing]

Smells good, Mama.

[smacks lips]
Salt.

Pepper.

Salt-N-Pepa, you know
that's a band, Mama.

Did you ever hear "Push it,
push it real good"?

No, that's a song?

[paper rustles]

What's this?

No.
Ma, you can't do this.

I want them out.

Jana is a good person.

You can't just evict her
like some dog on the street.

- You can't do that.
- They are animals.

You have to go to court, Ma.
You have to show cause.

You can't just throw
her out like that.

I can do want I want
and they're going out.

Well, no, no, Rodolfo
would that do it that way.

- You mean, your father?
- No, I mean Rodolfo.

[smack]

You mean your father?

[dramatic music playing]

[whispering]
He was never my father.

[laughing and chattering]









[clapping]

[speaks in Spanish]

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you very much.
Ah, this is lovely.

Thank you everybody for coming
to our little party here.

It's been really lovely.

And thanks to my wife Carmen
for putting it all together.

Yes.

But, above all,
I want to thank the one

who taught me everything
that I know about this,

my father,
[inaudible] Gonzales.

[man speaking in Spanish]

And, of course,
to our son, Gilbert,

who will carry on
the tradition.

[clapping]

Say something.
No, don't say anything.

Thank you very much,
everybody.

But one more thing, tonight,
we are also lucky

because we have
a friend of ours here

who is going to sing
a beautiful song for us

this evening

and her name is
the fabulous Esmeralda.

[clapping]

[laughing]

[woman singing in Spanish]







[camera shutter clicking]

[woman singing in Spanish]









Wow!

[clapping]

Thank you everybody.

[man speaks in Spanish]

We thank you.

Carmen thanks you,
I thank you.

Thanks for coming.
Thank you, everybody.

[chattering]





[sizzling]





You cheated on Mama
left and right.

What are you talking about?

What am I talking about?
The Polaroids?

Huh, taking pictures
of Esmeralda.

- Shut the fuck up.
- Every fucking time, man.

- Shut the fuck up.
- You cheated on her...

- That's show biz.
- You cheated on me because

you were supposed to be a dad,
to be there for me.

You were little fuck.
You were always in the way.

Always in the way.

Trying to love you,
trying to connect with you.

Is that what
I was in the way of?

- I wanted to get rid of you.
- Oh really?

Well,
that's a beautiful sentiment.

- You were in the way.
- Get out of my head, Rodolfo.

[slow seductive dance music
plays]







[clattering]









[spits]







[knocking on door]

Coming.



- Hey.
- Hi.

I don't know.
Just in case.

Wow.

It's so cool.

Now I could kick your ass.

Please don't.

I'm kidding.

"Fight Back: A Woman's
Guide to Self-Defense."

The lady at the store
said it's really good book.

[chewing]

This feels good.

What?

Not being yelled at.

Unable to take deep breaths.

[sighing]

I love it here.

Isn't this where they find
the bodies on Law And Order.

Come on,
what's wrong with you?

[sighing]

Beautiful.

I know.

To hear the birds sing.

No, you,
you're beautiful.

Your smile's like flan.

My smile is like flan.

Just bright
and full of flavor.

I'm not good at this.

- What are you good at?
- Nothing.

Uh, taking pictures.

Did you see City Lights?

- Is that a movie?
- Yeah.

In City Lights,

the woman was blind
but then she could see.

And she's connecting
with-with Chaplin

and taking deep breaths.
Just beautiful.

Do you see me?

Uh?

No, we're just talking here.

I - no I-I-I mean,

I fix things and watch porn.

You invited me
to be here.



I can't tell you how many
times over the last year,

I opened your kitchen pipes

only to find the vomit
of chocolate brownies.

Same thing every time.

So?

So I get it, you know?

All right.

Uh, I wanted to show you...
Is this yours?

[mouth clicks]

Um,
where'd you find that?

Uh, I found it
on my bed.

Uh, sorry, um,

I- I-I dropped it.

What were you doing
in my bed?



Three back surgeries,

I cramped up.
I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.
It just solves a mystery.

Sorry, um, yeah.

It's-uh-

[sighs]

[scratching of tape rewind]

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[footsteps]

Seventy-five, motherfucker...
you said 75.

She said 50.

- Bullshit.
- I know it.

I'm gonna give you
75 [inaudible]

[inaudible].

[laughing]

Next time,
I'll-I'll make sure

to take your dentures out.

[laughing]

She was watching birds
up at Inwood Park.

Get a life.

I flipped her over.

Wait, is that the one?

Yeah. Yeah.
Gave me shit two weeks ago

for spitting near
her fucking birds.

I bitch slapped you real good.

[slapping]

Pushed her face in the fucking
dirt and I fucked her, nice.

[scoffs]

I told her, "You stay here,
count to 100."

[laughing]





[clattering]

Nice phone.

[person speaking
indistinctly on PA]

[accelerating
dramatic music plays]





[soft thud]

[woman speaking in Spanish]

Get some help over here.

[woman speaking in Spanish]

Are you an angel?

How are you, Mr. Gonzalez?

Do you have my phone?

I'm sure
it's with your belongings.

But you do understand you had
a cerebrovascular accident.

You went into shock and you're
very nearly suffered a stroke.

How old are you?

33.

Uh, it says here
you're 39.

39.

Look, no jokes.

Okay.
You are diabetic.

You're chronically obese.

You have high blood pressure,
high cholesterol,

and an enlarged prostate,

and you almost had a stroke
at 39.

Got it?

Mostly.

Can I just get my phone?

[beeping]

Sure.

[clinking]

Gilberto!



Uh, Jana.

From every sacred place
within me, I love you.

[soft dramatic music playing]





[tapping]

Six ounces on the dot.





[hissing]









Can you please
not take pictures of us?

Sir.





[screaming]

[shutters clicking]





[screaming]

Where do you want it,
sweetheart?

Sorry.

[man] I pierced her face
with a fucking turd knife,

fucked her nice.

I told her, "You stay there,
Count to 100."

[on TV] In just a moment, New
York District Attorney Murray,

will introduce the
star witness who helped

to apprehend
James J. Hoffman,

the alleged
Van Cortland Park rapist.

Today we announce
the indictment

of James J. Hoffman, 43.

A career criminal with the
history of preying upon elderly

women in Tennessee, West
Virginia, and now New York.

This indictment is a
classic example of what happens

when tireless police work and
the brave actions of a citizen.

Mr. Gilberto González,
combined forces to put

a dangerous
criminal behind bars.

Mr. Gonzalez selflessly
obtained evidence that put us

on the right track
to cracking this case.

Mr. Gonzalez, would
you like to say a few words?

Thank you.

I'm so happy
I'm sweating champagne.

[laughing]

I wanna thank
District Attorney Murray,

and everybody here.

I did what anyone would
do in the same situation.

And I love you, Ma.

- [clapping]
- Holy shit.

[dramatic music
playing]

Holy shit.

[on TV] With all due
respect to Mr. González...

That's my son on TV.
That's my son on TV.

[clapping]

- [chiming]
- Let me get a packet of Max.

- [inaudible], one Max.
- Okay.

- How much?
- Nine seventy five.

- What!
- I said, nine seventy five.

That's just fucking perfect.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.

You can't speak
fucking proper English,

[inaudible]
motherfucker.

My name is not Haji,
my name is Omar, you asshole.

I don't give a fuck
what your name is, man.

Get out of my
fucking store, dumbass.

I ain't getting
the fuck out, fuck you.

I should have
killed more of you

motherfuckers
when I had the chance.

[inaudible] come to
this fucking country

and speak fucking English.
English, motherfucker, English.

- Puñeta. Fuck you, man.
- My English is amazing, okay.

I'm a fucking doctor, okay.

Get out. Get the fuck out,
you dumbass [inaudible].

- Fuck. Fuck.
- [inaudible].

I'm so happy,
I'm sweating champagne.

[laughing]

I almost had a
stroke doing this.

This must be
what pussy feels like.

- [on TV] I want to thank
- [phone chimes]

District Attorney Murray.

Hey bravo sweetie,
if you're around,

please come anytime.

Damn kitchen pipe again.
Sorry to bother you. XO, Jana.

[laughing]

[knocking on door]

[speaks in Spanish]

[speaks in Spanish]

I got to go,
Jana's pipe is broken.

Of course it is.
I made dinner for my hero.

Pasteles.
[laughing]

I'll eat them later.

She's going
to take you for a fool, Giro.

A whore like
that only brings bad luck.

[shouting]
Don't call her that.

[sighs]

I'm sorry, ma.

Maybe Jana just
wants me to fix her pipe,

or maybe she wants
to see me, ma.

Maybe Jana wants to see me.

If your father were here.

She makes me feel good, ma.

She makes me feel good.

[scoffs]

It's okay,
it's okay.

[clattering]

[door slamming]

Gilbert?

- Gilbert?
- What?

The leak's coming
from the roof.

Oh, God.

[grunting]
Where's the leak?

Here.

[emotional music]



You were right
about the brownies,

but you like me anyway,
and that's cool.

That's really cool, Gilbert.

[sensual music]

Uh,

so, uh, the day you found
my insulin pen on your bed, I-

I was humping your
pillow and I'm sorry.

Well, why don't
you hump me instead?





You are so beautiful,
you're so beautiful,

you're so beautiful.

Shh.

Do you wanna follow me?
Eh?

Watch me!



Oh God, oh God.





[shaky breathing]

[moaning]

You like it?

It's better than the pillow.
[laughing]

[moaning]

[shaky breathing]

That was like-

- You're all right.
- [laughing]

You're amazing.

I think we actually
knocked your father's

picture off the wall.

What is wrong?

All my mom ever wanted was for
me to be a man like my father.

He used to call me a faggot
because I didn't want

to bring girls
over to meet him.

Like I was supposed to say,
Yeah, come on over and just

don't look at him
when he spanks my mom

and pulls her hair.

[scoffs]

And then later,
they would come into my bedroom

where I would be pretending to
be asleep and he would throw

hard candy on my
bed and walk out.

I'm so sorry.

I know right.
Hard candies sucks.

I mean, at least like some
chocolate or something.

You know what I mean.

It's funny.

It's really hard to be a man.

I know you spend all your
time trying to kill a ghost.

I can't get that
fucker out of my head.

Well, Gilbert, you're
going to have to forgive him.

What do you need to forgive?

Myself.

And Lennon because he pees
all over the damn place.

Listen, um...

I have to tell you something.

Tell me later,
come on, let's have fun.

Okay.

[emotional acoustic
guitar plying]

[singing in other language]

[laughing]

I spent my life loving
my son, so he'd become a man.

I- I fed him like a prince.

I stayed with his
father after he slapped me.



[flame hisses]

[praying in Spanish]

[fire crackling]

[music grows ominous]

[alarm bell ringing]

Fuck.



[fire alarm beeping]

[fire alarm beeping continues]

[screams]

Come on!

- Be careful-be careful.
- Cover your mouth.

[coughing]
Cover your mouth.

[coughing]

[sirens wailing]

[explosion]
[glass clattering]

[person speaking

[screaming and crying]

Rodolfo!

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter]

[street din]

[horns blaring]

[phone ringing]

Mama come and rest.

[footsteps receding]

All my life,
a fucking coward.

Not anymore.

[speaks in Spanish]
Mommy, the food's here.

[speaks in Spanish]
I bought us a banquet, Mommy.

Salad...

[speaks in Spanish] I didn't know if you wanted green
or yellow plantains, so I got both.

Chicken and rice.

[speaks in Spanish]
We are going to eat well, Ma.

[speaks in Spanish]
Ma.

I am going to take care of you.

[speaks in Spanish]
You have always taken care of me.

[speaks in Spanish]
But now...

...I am going to take care of you.

I swear to God.

[speaks in Spanish]
There are no forks.

[speaks in Spanish]
I asked them three times.

[speaks in Spanish]
Okay, look. I am going to go down now...

[speaks in Spanish]
...and I will get the forks and then we will eat.

[conversation din]

Gilbert?

How's your mom doing?

- Not good.
- Give it time.

She reminds me
of my mom actually.

Bend but don't break.

Like you.

I saw what you did
getting that rapist arrested.

We'll get this Tony, fuck.

Okay?

You got insurance?

Yes.

My dad was always
on top of that.

That's good.

He's the one
who put in the cameras?

Cameras?

Your dad
put in those cameras?

No.

I did.

I'm sorry,
I didn't catch that.

You said your dad
put in those cameras?

Let's go get some
eggs and bacon, I'm starving.

Yeah.

I'm gonna buy you
a new pair of shoes.

You can't dance
tango in these shoes.

I can't dance
tango in any shoes.

Bullshit.

- Jana.
- What?

I'm sick-
I'm sick in the head.

I throw brownies, remember?

I've done
horrible things to you.

We have something in common.

- Don't-stop.
- I stole you.

- No, you see me.
- No, I stole you.

- It's all my fault.
- No-no-no-no.

- Leave him alone.
- [thudding]

Come on, you [inaudible]
That's what you got.

- No, leave him alone.
- Motherfucker!

What are you doing?
Leave him alone-

[grunting]

Stop, stop, stop.

Somebody help please!
I need help!

[grunting]

Help me!

[suspenseful music]

[sirens wailing]

Hey-hey, wake up.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Why does that
always work?

- Where's Jana?
- She's outside.

Your mom is too.
I'm here to book you.

- What?
- Yeah.

- Tony tried to kill me.
- That's what they all say.

He hit Jana,

and then he came after me.

I'm just messing with you,
hero.

[sighs]

What are you doing?
You trying to stare me down?

I was-I'm too tired.

Gilbert, next time
you break a privacy law,

I'm gonna fucking nail you.

He's fine. He'll be answering
his fan mail soon enough.

He wants to see you.

Thank you.

[door shuts]

Yeah. Hello?
Hi, nurse.

I'm calling from room 608,
Mr. González.

Yeah. Do you think you could
come and remove this tray?

Okay.
Thank you.

[coughing]

Hey.

Are you okay?

Detective Mara said
that you are coming out soon.

- A couple of days.
- You barely ate your food.

Food sucks.

Tear drinker.

You know every
time that I throw up

it's because I feel
like I'm nothing.

How many pictures
of that do you have?

[inhales sharply]

[chokes]
You want a picture?

Take a picture of that.

Huh?

[whispers] I don't get it.

[door slamming]

[soft music]

Sorry for the building,
dad.

Say hi to Chaplin
for me if you get a chance.

And don't worry,
if I ever have a kid

I'll take her
to see city lights.

Que en paz descansa.

Fucking Mets.

[emotional music]

Hey!

Hey!

Hey it's me.
I hope you listen to this.

I have Lennon.

I came back
to the old building

and people had
been feeding him.

I just want to
give him back to you.

And I-

I-

I just wanna-I just
wanna give it back to you.

Let me know my-my
number is on the phone, bye.

[sighs]

[car horns blaring]

[indistinct chatter]

[slow dance music playing]

[laughing]
Lennon look.







Wow!
[clapping]

You dance wonderfully.

- Lennon? [laughing]
- Thank you for bringing him.

He just took a shit
next to the giant turtle.

[laughing]
Shits all over the place.

Jana,

listen to me-listen.

Now I really-I just
got something to say.

I couldn't believe
that you could love me-

that anyone
could love me.

So I took pictures.

So I can have
something to hold on to.

I couldn't trust any of it.

I'm so fucking stupid.
I'm so very-very sorry.

Gilbert

I finally have the
strength to stand on my own.

I'm dancing,
I'm taking deep breaths.

Take deep breaths with me.

[birds chirping]

I see you now.

You can see now?

Yeah, I can see now.

[birds chirping]

[upbeat music playing]





[You, yourself by Emmy Cee]













Somebody put that
there, I don't know.

Oh, God.
