Behold My Heart (2016) - full transcript
Follows a mother and her teenage son in the aftermath of tragedy who must forge into uncharted territory in order to move on with their lives.
Come on, Marcus. Come on.
Come on.
I mean,
it's really good,
but you... you gotta
fingerpick those.
Strumming ain't gonna
cut it anymore. Look.
Check it out.
Gotcha.
Can I... Can I hit that?
If we don't hit a new demo on
this first pass, then we're toast.
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
Stop it with that.
It's not new.
Oh, "You don't have to
be an athlete to sweat."
That's the campaign. "You don't
have to be an athlete to sweat,
Sports Aid." Done.
My God, that's...
You're a genius.
I gotta go
to Steven's show.
Love you too.

Hey, Mom.
Hey. How'd they like it?
This next one...
This next one,
I did not write.
Aww!
But I think
you'll dig it anyway.
I met the gal
who did write it
on top of a water tower in a
rainstorm in Poughkeepsie.
I was 19,
and I was off my face on a
bottle of the hard stuff,
stumbling through this field
when it started to come down,
kind of rain you
could choke a frog with.
So I ducked under this
water tower for cover,
when all of a sudden, I hear
this girl screaming down at me.
I look up, and she's
all the way at the top,
and I can't tell if she's in
trouble, enjoying herself,
or just
a downright loon.
So I figured
I'd better investigate.
Whoo!
I thought I was gonna die
climbing up that thing.
When I got to the top...
I see Miss Drunken Angel
sitting across from me.
I think, "Maybe I'm
already dead."
And that, my friends,
was the night
I met my wife.
Do not let
the get-up fool you.
She is deep, deep, deep,
deep undercover these days.
At heart, she's still
the same sexy loon
she was when we were 19.
Yeah!
Come on, Maggie.
Why don't you come up here
and help me with this one?

Holy shit!
That was amazing!
Language, mister.
But it was pretty fucking
amazing, wasn't it?
Anyone feeling
like putting
blueberry syrup
on something?
Waffle Stop?
Yeah, you know it.
Guys, I'd love to,
but I've...
I've gotta get home and
get some work done.
I didn't do shit!
I was...
Go to the Stop.
I'll see you at home.
That's what
I was doing!
Steven, he's plastered.
Just...
It's none of our business.
Steven!
I know. Just...
...didn't have to fucking
sleep with him, all right?
I know
what you like.
Hey, Jake!
Jake, take it easy, huh?
This is none
of your concern, Steve.
I know.
It's none of my business.
Just come over here.
Talk to me for a second.
I'm okay, Steven.
I know you are, hon.
I'm okay.
I just wanna talk to Jake.
Come on, man.
Take a walk with me.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Dad!
Shit.
God...
Can we get
some help over here?
Fuck!
It's okay, hon.
Come on. It's okay.
Just walk away.
He's all right.
Come on.
Let's get you
out of here. Come on.
I'm sorry.
Hey!
Dad!
Dad! Dad!
Somebody
do something!
Somebody help,
please!
Please!
Please!
Marcus.
What are you
doing there?
Mm, I was hungry.
Uh...
how can you eat?
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
You're hungry.
Of course
you're hungry.
I could make you,
um, eggs.
No.
Could make you a
grilled cheese with...
There's no bread.
Cereal?
But with what?
Vodka.
I could make you
an excellent plate
of saltines
and peanut butter.
Fine.
Thanks, Phillip.
No, I just need some time
to get some stuff organized.
And Marcus is having
a rough time,
so I should be here for him.
Give Blake those accounts
for the week.
Tell him it was so sweet
of him to check in
and that he'll do great.
Also send me the keynote
on Sports Aid when it's up.
Keep me in the loop,
Phillip. Thank you.
Jane called, Mom!
She and Seamus are coming
to take us to the store.
What? Why?
You said
we'd go shopping,
and they offered.
Fine.
I can't believe your house
isn't full of food.
When my mom died, my kitchen was
like an encyclopedia of casseroles.
Oh, but you
didn't have a reception.
No.
All these people
we barely know
have been calling
our house and shit,
people I don't
even remember,
like from the church I
went to when I was a kid.
It's none
of their business.
Exactly. Even like
Jake's fucking brother, Ted,
the guy who works
at Quickie Lube,
yeah, he calls the house
to tell me
"how good of a man
your father was,"
and how he "ain't gonna make any
excuses for his brother, but..."
That's fucked, man.
And I'm like,
"Leave me alone, dude.
My dad hated you, and your
brother ruined my life."
Yeah, my dad
hates that dude too.
I'm sorry, man.
I didn't mean to...
Oh, no, no. It's cool, man.
They're trying to finish three
campaigns by the end of the week.
That Doritos thing
is a mess.
But we did get Russ
Leatherman to do the V.O.,
which was pretty cool.
I don't know
who that is.
Oh, you know.
You just don't know
that you know.
That looks incredible.
The rucola and the basilico
are from the giardino.
Do you know
who Russ Leatherman is?
No. Should I?
Hello, and welcome
to Margaret's phone.
If Margaret is the name of the person
you wish to speak to, speak now.
The Moviephone guy?
We went for drinks
after he did the voice-over
and made him record
our outgoing messages.
Cool, Mom.
Pretty cool.
Yeah. It's meant
to be ironic, Marcus.
Pasta's really good.
Marcus made it
after the game.
Damn.
I'm sorry. How was it?
It was pretty good.
I got a goal.
And two assists.
Sporting thighs
and pesto.
College is gonna love you.
By then, it'll be
the guitar that gets 'em.
Girls do love a guitar.
Dad says it
always works for him.
Well?
It works.
I gotta say
it still works.
Marcus. Marcus.
Hey!
I know you and your dad
were playing guitar,
and I know he... he would
want you to keep it up, so...
Now?
Yes, now! Come on!
Um, okay.
Uh...
Play the guitar, Marcus!
Uh, okay.
This is, uh, a C.
There's a G.
Don't you know
any actual songs?
Um...
Never mind.
Just do what you were doing.
I wanted to hear a song.
Yeah!
Ooh!
Aah!
Shit! Are you okay?
He's okay. Here.
Here you go.
Ha ha! Shit happens when you
tussle with the trash can, tiger.
Oh, hey, Marcus.
I didn't
see you there, man.
How you holding up, son?
You know, you got a lot of people
praying for you. Know that.
Barbara and I, we just feel
awful about it, you know?
You know, Jake's
my baby brother and all,
but ever since
he came back from the war,
he just goes off
on a damn dime.
Hey!
Hey, motherfucker!
Those are my new Dickies!
Hey!
Ooh.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, it is. It is.
You should come in.
Hey.
Hey.
You're not going in?
Nah.
Oh, come on.
Don't be a fraidy-cat.
Seriously, Tracy, no.
Okay. Sorry.
I-It's fine.
I'm just not really
feeling it right now.
I get that.
Whoo!
Damn, Marcus!
Shut up, Tony.
The view? Really?
Okay. I guess so.
Your mama's
so fat...
I don't
even know. I...
I got nothing.
I got nothing.
Oh! Shit.
Wow!
Oh, my God.
Shit.
Hey.
Well, what are
the chances?
I guess
they're pretty good.
Why didn't anyone
invite me?
I was at home.
May I use this chair?
Thank you.
I tried to make
the chicken pockets
that your mom
made me buy, but...
whole house
smelled like grease,
so I said pancakes.
You know.
Hi. Hi.
Oh!
It's okay.
It's okay.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Don't worry
about it.
I'm so sorry.
Come on, Mom.
What can I use to stop it?
Okay. We should go.
I'm terribly sorry.
We should go. Okay.
I feel awful.
It's okay.
We'll get some pancakes at home.
We don't have pancakes at home.
Excuse me.
Get a little bit
of pancakes with syrup.
We're gonna go now, okay?
I left my coat.
I'll grab it later.
I'm not going outside
with a fucking coat on.
Sorry.
Hey, Margaret,
I-it's Grace.
Uh, Phil asked me
to check in to see again
if you wanted to approve
the presentation reel
on Sports Aid before it
goes out to the client,
so, um, he just
wanted to make sure
that you were
in the loop.
That's foul.
It's better
for my stomach.
Are you watching this?
No.
Hello, Mrs. Lang.
This is Charles
from L.I.C. Leasing.
I wanted to touch base
regarding the payment schedule
on your 2016 BMW.
If you could
just give me a call back
on my direct line, I would
greatly appreciate it.
Hi, Margaret.
It's Jackie.
I'm just wondering
if we're still on
for that yoga retreat next
weekend. Look, I know...
Howdy, stranger.
How you doing in there?
You know.
We're going to get food.
You wanna come?
Uh, no, thanks.
Um, I've got
some things I gotta do,
cleaning
and stuff like that.
Okay.
Wait here for a second.
Here.
Mom?!
Hey, Mom!
Hey, Mom, could you
come up here
and help me
with something?
Yes.
Ooh.
Yes, Marcus.
Everything here
is on auto-pay?
Um...
I think so, yes.
Um, what about the account that
you put your paychecks in?
Uh...
Ooh.
I c-can't do that.
The mortgage
is not paid, Margaret,
so I want you to sit in this
chair and help me, okay?
Is there a file
that says "checking" on it?
I think I could find it
if it said
"checking" on it.
Don't do that.
Okay, fine. I'm sorry.
Please just come
sit in this chair,
and help me, okay?
Look, I'll get your vodka.
Just don't move.
I'll sand the floors
and get toilet paper.
And the fucking
tree stump.
I almost hit it
again today.
And the fucking tree stump.
I'll take care of it.
You'll see.
I'll stick my chest out
and handle it.
You picking up?
Uh, yeah.
Right, yeah.
Of course.
Get you the keys
to the truck.
Thanks.
Hey, I just, uh,
you know...
Fuckin' people, man.
Yeah.

Just what I wanted
to do with my summer,
learn
accounting software.
My parents made me
learn to type last summer,
four classes a week.
Brutal.
It totally was, but now
I'm a way better typer
and texter.
You are
a pretty fast texter.
Mmm-hmm. So maybe
learning Quicken
won't be a total waste
after all.
Maybe.
I just wish she'd
get her shit together.
I hear you.
But I don't know.
Maybe just try
to be nice to her.
She's going through
a lot too, and I just...
Shh.
What?
You have
to stop talking now.
Husband and wife
were sitting in bed.
Spit. I'll wait.
Husband and wife
were sitting in bed.
Husband says,
"Tell me something
that will make me
both happy and sad
at the same time."
And the wife considers this
and says, "Okay,
of all your friends, you have
the most beautiful penis."
Mom?
Mom?
Don't come in here.
Don't come in here, please.
Don't come in here,
please.
You brought food?
Yeah, Chinese.
Ohh.
Okay.
That was
really nice of you.
It's okay.
Thank you so much.
Yeah. Oh.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
Thank you for taking
care of everything.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Mmm. Thank you
for being such
a big, strong man.
Okay.
I just...
I love you so much.
I know it.
So much.
I miss you so much.
I fucking miss you
so much.
What the fuck?!
Ohh!
What the fuck?!
Marcus!
No, that wasn't...
Marcus, come here!
You come here!
Fuck you!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Fuck.
Marcus!
Can you tell me
what this is?
I'm sorry.
I had to pee after the game.
I forgot
to take my cleats off.
What did I tell you
about this floor?
I don't know.
You don't know,
or you don't remember?
What do you want me to do,
Mom, cut my fucking feet off?
All right, enough. Enough.
Don't get smart.
It's not my fault!
I'm not the bad guy!
I don't give a shit
about the floor!
You, go up,
and do your work.
You, get back
in the kitchen,
and cut
your fucking feet off.
You think I like
coming home late from work...
so you can roll your eyes...
and whisper behind my back
like I'm some fucking kind
of type-A cunt?!
I'll sand it and
refinish it this weekend.
Nothing is irreversible.
Hi.
I'm Betsy.
What's your name?
Uh, Margaret.
Are you coming
to the meeting?
No. Hi.
I'm running errands.
Oh, okay.
Can I help you?
I'm...
just... just looking.
Yeah.
We get that a lot.
Take your time.
You know, so she claims
she kicked me out
'cause I didn't
clean the roof.
Heh. I know it
wasn't 'cause of that.
So, you know, one night,
when I was high,
um, I got
this grand idea
I should go clean the
roof right now, you know?
So, uh,
that's what I do.
And, uh, I could hear
her yelling at me,
but, uh,
I wasn't done,
so I didn't
say anything.
I just kept scrubbing that
fucking moss off the roof.
So, yeah, it must have
looked a little weird
when she came round
and saw me up there,
especially since it was
the middle of the night.
Man,
I don't know, man.
I mean, I... Like,
my skin itches,
and I'm...
I'm scared as hell,
but I think... I think
that this is better.
So I got
four days today.
That's right.
Four days, man.
Hi. I'm Nancy.
I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Nancy.
Hi, Nancy.
I'm really grateful
to be here today.
I'm grateful
for my sobriety.
And I want
to say welcome
to anybody new
that we have.
So I put my phone number
on the first page, okay?
Use it anytime,
day or night.
Mine's in there too.
Thank you.
I know this must be super
hard with your situation.
Excuse me?
Oh, you probably
don't know.
I'm Tony and,
uh, Paul's mom,
Nancy, Nancy Biddle.
The boys were
really worried about you
at the Waffle Stop.
Hmm.
But listen.
We all have our stories,
or we wouldn't be here.
I tried to steal
a horse once.
You did what?
I did.
Sorry about that.
We're running
a bit behind.
But then, we're always
running a bit behind.
So when you testify,
gotta be very straightforward,
what you saw,
who was there,
what they did.
You made a statement
to the police.
I think so.
You did, but for
the sake of clarity,
we're gonna need to walk
through it one more time.
You ready?
No.
Sorry?
I'm sorry.
Okay. I'm ready.
You are?
Hi.
Shh.
Marcus, sweetie?
Your mom is here.
What do you want?
Hey.
Um, there's
a preliminary trial next week,
so I-I thought that maybe,
you know, you'd want...
I don't want to.
No, I'm sure
you don't want to.
If I saw that guy again,
I'd bash
his fucking skull in.
Marcus...
What?
I'm just gonna
leave this here.
Just in case.
Look, they're gonna
open up his war record.
They're gonna talk about
PTSD. Bunch of bull.
Hey, no argument here.
Look at Butch Rose.
He was out there
same as Jake.
Same battalion.
Exactly!
A-And now he's running
his dad's dealership,
and he's doing great.
Are we doing this thing?
I'm just stating...
Let's do it.
So right in the middle of
this guy's shit-talking,
Seamus whips
his dick out,
and I'm like, "What the
fuck, man?" Right?
But then he starts
pissing on the dude
right in the back of
his leg, and of course
he starts swinging
on Seamus,
and I figure
I better do something,
so I grab this two-by-four,
and I hit him
right in the skull.
It made
this crazy sound,
like a...
like a hollow pop,
like the dude's head was
empty or something.
That's crazy.
Yeah, that's a crazy story,
Marcus.
Anyone want anything?
Another beer?

Hi.
Hey.
Can we talk?
I know how hard
it must be.
I mean, I don't know.
I can guess.
But I just...
I want you to know
that you're not alone.
Can you please not go deep
on me right now, Tracy?
Just don't.
This is the first real fun
I've had in a long time.
This is fun?
Sure.
Stop it.
I'm sorry for disturbing
your fun, man.
It won't happen again.

I tried to kiss my son.
What?
Who are you?
I'm sorry. I'm Margaret.
I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Margaret.
Hi, Margaret.
So I'm
pretty screwed up.
Today is
my sixth meeting.
It's my sixth day.
I don't know
what to do next.
I don't know.
A few of us are going for pie and coffee.
Do you wanna come?
Nah. I'm...
I don't think I'm
up for that. Thanks.
Uh, it wasn't
actually a question.
Well, you know what? I...
I am... I am actually
gonna go home, yeah.
Want some company?
Really?
Really.
It's really good.
You think so?
Yeah, I do.
You did that
with a chain saw?
And a chisel.
Where does someone learn
to do something like that?
I took
Sculpture in college.
Who didn't?
Thanks.
So you're staying
with Seamus?
For a couple weeks now.
Shit got
pretty hectic at home.
Ah. Thought you might
be hiding out from the cops.
Why?
You know.
For beating down
that Quickie Lube guy.
Nah.
Cops around here
are weak, man.
Couldn't do shit
if they tried.
You know
that guy Jake,
the guy
who killed my dad?
Well, they're not
gonna do shit to him.
That blows.
That's why I'm
gonna do it myself.
What the fuck?
Dude, you can't
smoke in the house!
Seriously,
what are you thinking?
Can you leave?
Don't.
Yeah.
I think
I'm gonna leave now.
Bye.
Man, can we talk?
Sure.
Look, I know you're going
through a tough time,
but...
It's all good, man.
I'm just gonna
go stay somewhere else.
I don't want you
to stay somewhere else.
I want you to stop acting like a...
a douche.
What?
I put the cigarette out.
Yeah. Okay.
I want you
to stay somewhere else.
Hey, Kevin, I just wanted to
say that I agree with you.
This thing could go south
pretty quickly tomorrow.
They paint him
as a war hero,
you know, one who
got ruined by the war,
a jury of his peers
might let him walk.
It could happen.
It could happen.
We just all gotta be prepared for
the fact that it could happen.
Dad! Hey, Dad!
Hi.
I've been really fucked up,
you know.
I know.
I wanted to apologize...
and say that you
didn't do anything wrong.
I know.
I need you to know
that whatever happens,
you didn't
do anything wrong.
Wh-What do you mean,
"Whatever happens"?
Nothing.
I'm sorry. Um...
I'm really fine,
but I've... I've gotta go.
You're going
to the trial?
Mmm-hmm.
You want company?
No.
Marcus, you came.
I'm gonna go up there.
You know what?
I thought maybe that you'd
want to sit over here by...
I love you, Mom.
I love you too.
Hey, Jake!
Jake, take it easy, huh?
This is none
of your concern, Steve.
I know.
It's none of my business.
Just come over here.
Talk to me for a second.
I'm okay, Steven.
I know you are, hon.
I'm okay.
I just wanna talk to Jake.
Come on, man.
Take a walk with me.
All rise.
Be seated.
Before we continue,
Mr. Walters, you wanted
to address the court?
Yes, Your Honor.
Go ahead.
I want to plead guilty,
Your Honor.
You understand,
Mr. Walters,
that this plea precludes
your right to a trial?
Yes, sir.
And that you're
pleading guilty
to murder in the second degree?
Yes, sir.
Mr. Young, you've spoken
with your client?
Yes, Your Honor.
Guilty plea is accepted.
Okay.
Something more?
Yes, Your Honor.
If possible, my client would
like to make a statement.
Go ahead,
Mr. Walters.
I know that I can't
change what happened...
but if I could take back one
second of my shit life...
it would be that one.
I just...
I got nothing.
Sentencing will be
scheduled for a later date.
Court is adjourned.

It's closer down the hill.
Hey.
You know?
Because I go
down the hill.
Oh, it's awful.
It was, really.
It was really bad.
It's been hard since...
Hey.
Hey.
Can I... I need to speak
to you about something.
Okay.
So?
So apparently my... my son
has moved into the woods.
Like, permanently?
I assume not,
but it's hard to know,
since he's still
not talking to me.
Sure.
I mean, I have to respect
him for what he wants,
and I really
can't fucking blame him
for not wanting
to come home.
Sure.
But...
I can't let my underage son
live in the woods, right?
Right.
I mean, I-I have
to be his mother
and... and take care
of him, right?
Right.
I don't know
how to do that.
Sure you do.
You just think, "What would
my mother have done?"
and then
you don't do that.
Right.
Agh!
Agh!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hi.
What are you doing?
Camping.
Really? Is that
what you're doing, Mom?
You know, Marcus, I-I have a lot of
things to make amends to you for,
but I-I feel like I should
start by apologizing
for telling you
it was okay
to ask a lot of rhetorical,
aggressive questions,
but it's just...
it's just rude.
I'm in the middle
of the woods!
I know.
How much more clear could I be
that I want to be
left the fuck alone?!
Yes, I get it.
I understand,
and I will
leave you alone.
The problem
that I am facing
is that I am
still your mother.
Yeah, I know,
such as I am.
Why do you care?
You never did before.
You know, I don't really blame
you for feeling that way.
I've made a lot of
really terrible choices.
I...
The only thing
I have left
is that I am willing to stay in
these woods as long as it takes
for you to figure your shit
out, until you come home.
Okay.
All right.
Hi.
I just realized
tomorrow's your birthday.
You want to do
something special?
Okay, I know that I'm
breaking the rules.
I'm really sorry.
I'm going to go.
Or maybe
could I just sit here
and listen to you play
for a little while?
It's a free country.
Hey, Jane.
Hi.
Yes, it's Margaret.
Uh, is Seamus home?

Goodbye. See you.

I'll make sure

Mmm-hmm.
I'm serious.
That was a good thing you did.

This is the long game, girl.

Short game's an illusion.
Hey.
Mrs. Biddle, what are...
She's trying, Marcus. Do you have
any clue how hard she is trying?
You don't know
what you're talking about.
Hush. I know exactly
what I'm talking about,
and you wanna know
what I think?
I think you feel better
being mad at your mom
than just plain old sad about
your dad, and I get it.
Mad, you can
do something with.
You can punish
somebody with it,
but I want you to listen
and listen good, kid.
You have one life.
You had one dad,
and he's gone.
You have one mom, and she
is not, and she's trying,
and while you're busy
wallowing over here
because nobody knows the
kind of pain that you're in,
I have a friend who
just lost her husband
who might be able
to understand.
Now, I think it's cool that
you're doing what you have to do,
because you're just a kid, and
you don't know any better,
but this selfish
bullshit ends tonight.
When you wake up
in the morning,
I want you to start the next
year of your life fresh,
and you do that
by giving a shit
about somebody
besides yourself.
And happy birthday,
by the way.
Come on, buddy.
Oh!
Hey.
Sorry.
That's okay.
Just l-let me
throw a sweater on.
Did you have fun
at the party?
It was
a really good party.
I'm sorry I...
I wasn't there.
This was probably
really a stupid idea.
No, it wasn't.

Hey, Mom.
Hey. How'd they like it?
This next one...
This next one,
I did not write.
Aww!
But I think
you'll dig it anyway.
I met the gal
who did write it
on top of a water tower in a
rainstorm in Poughkeepsie.
I was 19,
and I was off my face on a
bottle of the hard stuff,
stumbling through this field
when it started to come down,
kind of rain you
could choke a frog with.
So I ducked under this
water tower for cover,
when all of a sudden, I hear
this girl screaming down at me.
I look up, and she's
all the way at the top,
and I can't tell if she's in
trouble, enjoying herself,
or just
a downright loon.
So I figured
I'd better investigate.
Whoo!
I thought I was gonna die
climbing up that thing.
When I got to the top...
I see Miss Drunken Angel
sitting across from me.
I think, "Maybe I'm
already dead."
And that, my friends,
was the night
I met my wife.
Do not let
the get-up fool you.
She is deep, deep, deep,
deep undercover these days.
At heart, she's still
the same sexy loon
she was when we were 19.
Yeah!
Come on, Maggie.
Why don't you come up here
and help me with this one?

That was amazing!
Language, mister.
But it was pretty fucking
amazing, wasn't it?
Anyone feeling
like putting
blueberry syrup
on something?
Waffle Stop?
Yeah, you know it.
Guys, I'd love to,
but I've...
I've gotta get home and
get some work done.
I didn't do shit!
I was...
Go to the Stop.
I'll see you at home.
That's what
I was doing!
Steven, he's plastered.
Just...
It's none of our business.
Steven!
I know. Just...
...didn't have to fucking
sleep with him, all right?
I know
what you like.
Hey, Jake!
Jake, take it easy, huh?
This is none
of your concern, Steve.
I know.
It's none of my business.
Just come over here.
Talk to me for a second.
I'm okay, Steven.
I know you are, hon.
I'm okay.
I just wanna talk to Jake.
Come on, man.
Take a walk with me.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Dad!
Shit.
God...
Can we get
some help over here?
Fuck!
It's okay, hon.
Come on. It's okay.
Just walk away.
He's all right.
Come on.
Let's get you
out of here. Come on.
I'm sorry.
Hey!
Dad!
Dad! Dad!
Somebody
do something!
Somebody help,
please!
Please!
Please!
Marcus.
What are you
doing there?
Mm, I was hungry.
Uh...
how can you eat?
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
You're hungry.
Of course
you're hungry.
I could make you,
um, eggs.
No.
Could make you a
grilled cheese with...
There's no bread.
Cereal?
But with what?
Vodka.
I could make you
an excellent plate
of saltines
and peanut butter.
Fine.
Thanks, Phillip.
No, I just need some time
to get some stuff organized.
And Marcus is having
a rough time,
so I should be here for him.
Give Blake those accounts
for the week.
Tell him it was so sweet
of him to check in
and that he'll do great.
Also send me the keynote
on Sports Aid when it's up.
Keep me in the loop,
Phillip. Thank you.
Jane called, Mom!
She and Seamus are coming
to take us to the store.
What? Why?
You said
we'd go shopping,
and they offered.
Fine.
I can't believe your house
isn't full of food.
When my mom died, my kitchen was
like an encyclopedia of casseroles.
Oh, but you
didn't have a reception.
No.
All these people
we barely know
have been calling
our house and shit,
people I don't
even remember,
like from the church I
went to when I was a kid.
It's none
of their business.
Exactly. Even like
Jake's fucking brother, Ted,
the guy who works
at Quickie Lube,
yeah, he calls the house
to tell me
"how good of a man
your father was,"
and how he "ain't gonna make any
excuses for his brother, but..."
That's fucked, man.
And I'm like,
"Leave me alone, dude.
My dad hated you, and your
brother ruined my life."
Yeah, my dad
hates that dude too.
I'm sorry, man.
I didn't mean to...
Oh, no, no. It's cool, man.
They're trying to finish three
campaigns by the end of the week.
That Doritos thing
is a mess.
But we did get Russ
Leatherman to do the V.O.,
which was pretty cool.
I don't know
who that is.
Oh, you know.
You just don't know
that you know.
That looks incredible.
The rucola and the basilico
are from the giardino.
Do you know
who Russ Leatherman is?
No. Should I?
Hello, and welcome
to Margaret's phone.
If Margaret is the name of the person
you wish to speak to, speak now.
The Moviephone guy?
We went for drinks
after he did the voice-over
and made him record
our outgoing messages.
Cool, Mom.
Pretty cool.
Yeah. It's meant
to be ironic, Marcus.
Pasta's really good.
Marcus made it
after the game.
Damn.
I'm sorry. How was it?
It was pretty good.
I got a goal.
And two assists.
Sporting thighs
and pesto.
College is gonna love you.
By then, it'll be
the guitar that gets 'em.
Girls do love a guitar.
Dad says it
always works for him.
Well?
It works.
I gotta say
it still works.
Marcus. Marcus.
Hey!
I know you and your dad
were playing guitar,
and I know he... he would
want you to keep it up, so...
Now?
Yes, now! Come on!
Um, okay.
Uh...
Play the guitar, Marcus!
Uh, okay.
This is, uh, a C.
There's a G.
Don't you know
any actual songs?
Um...
Never mind.
Just do what you were doing.
I wanted to hear a song.
Yeah!
Ooh!
Aah!
Shit! Are you okay?
He's okay. Here.
Here you go.
Ha ha! Shit happens when you
tussle with the trash can, tiger.
Oh, hey, Marcus.
I didn't
see you there, man.
How you holding up, son?
You know, you got a lot of people
praying for you. Know that.
Barbara and I, we just feel
awful about it, you know?
You know, Jake's
my baby brother and all,
but ever since
he came back from the war,
he just goes off
on a damn dime.
Hey!
Hey, motherfucker!
Those are my new Dickies!
Hey!
Ooh.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, it is. It is.
You should come in.
Hey.
Hey.
You're not going in?
Nah.
Oh, come on.
Don't be a fraidy-cat.
Seriously, Tracy, no.
Okay. Sorry.
I-It's fine.
I'm just not really
feeling it right now.
I get that.
Whoo!
Damn, Marcus!
Shut up, Tony.
The view? Really?
Okay. I guess so.
Your mama's
so fat...
I don't
even know. I...
I got nothing.
I got nothing.
Oh! Shit.
Wow!
Oh, my God.
Shit.
Hey.
Well, what are
the chances?
I guess
they're pretty good.
Why didn't anyone
invite me?
I was at home.
May I use this chair?
Thank you.
I tried to make
the chicken pockets
that your mom
made me buy, but...
whole house
smelled like grease,
so I said pancakes.
You know.
Hi. Hi.
Oh!
It's okay.
It's okay.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Don't worry
about it.
I'm so sorry.
Come on, Mom.
What can I use to stop it?
Okay. We should go.
I'm terribly sorry.
We should go. Okay.
I feel awful.
It's okay.
We'll get some pancakes at home.
We don't have pancakes at home.
Excuse me.
Get a little bit
of pancakes with syrup.
We're gonna go now, okay?
I left my coat.
I'll grab it later.
I'm not going outside
with a fucking coat on.
Sorry.
Hey, Margaret,
I-it's Grace.
Uh, Phil asked me
to check in to see again
if you wanted to approve
the presentation reel
on Sports Aid before it
goes out to the client,
so, um, he just
wanted to make sure
that you were
in the loop.
That's foul.
It's better
for my stomach.
Are you watching this?
No.
Hello, Mrs. Lang.
This is Charles
from L.I.C. Leasing.
I wanted to touch base
regarding the payment schedule
on your 2016 BMW.
If you could
just give me a call back
on my direct line, I would
greatly appreciate it.
Hi, Margaret.
It's Jackie.
I'm just wondering
if we're still on
for that yoga retreat next
weekend. Look, I know...
Howdy, stranger.
How you doing in there?
You know.
We're going to get food.
You wanna come?
Uh, no, thanks.
Um, I've got
some things I gotta do,
cleaning
and stuff like that.
Okay.
Wait here for a second.
Here.
Mom?!
Hey, Mom!
Hey, Mom, could you
come up here
and help me
with something?
Yes.
Ooh.
Yes, Marcus.
Everything here
is on auto-pay?
Um...
I think so, yes.
Um, what about the account that
you put your paychecks in?
Uh...
Ooh.
I c-can't do that.
The mortgage
is not paid, Margaret,
so I want you to sit in this
chair and help me, okay?
Is there a file
that says "checking" on it?
I think I could find it
if it said
"checking" on it.
Don't do that.
Okay, fine. I'm sorry.
Please just come
sit in this chair,
and help me, okay?
Look, I'll get your vodka.
Just don't move.
I'll sand the floors
and get toilet paper.
And the fucking
tree stump.
I almost hit it
again today.
And the fucking tree stump.
I'll take care of it.
You'll see.
I'll stick my chest out
and handle it.
You picking up?
Uh, yeah.
Right, yeah.
Of course.
Get you the keys
to the truck.
Thanks.
Hey, I just, uh,
you know...
Fuckin' people, man.
Yeah.

My parents made me
learn to type last summer,
four classes a week.
Brutal.
It totally was, but now
I'm a way better typer
and texter.
You are
a pretty fast texter.
Mmm-hmm. So maybe
learning Quicken
won't be a total waste

Maybe.
I just wish she'd

I hear you.
But I don't know.
Maybe just try
to be nice to her.
She's going through
a lot too, and I just...
Shh.
What?
You have
to stop talking now.
Husband and wife
were sitting in bed.
Spit. I'll wait.
Husband and wife
were sitting in bed.
Husband says,
"Tell me something
that will make me
both happy and sad
at the same time."
And the wife considers this
and says, "Okay,
of all your friends, you have
the most beautiful penis."

Don't come in here, please.
Don't come in here,

Oh, yeah, sure.
Mmm. Thank you

Okay.

I miss you so much.
I fucking miss you

What the fuck?!
Ohh!
What the fuck?!

No, that wasn't...
Marcus, come here!
You come here!
Fuck you!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Fuck.
Marcus!
Can you tell me
what this is?
I'm sorry.
I had to pee after the game.
I forgot
to take my cleats off.
What did I tell you
about this floor?
I don't know.
You don't know,
or you don't remember?
What do you want me to do,
Mom, cut my fucking feet off?
All right, enough. Enough.
Don't get smart.
It's not my fault!
I'm not the bad guy!
I don't give a shit
about the floor!
You, go up,
and do your work.
You, get back
in the kitchen,
and cut
your fucking feet off.
You think I like
coming home late from work...
so you can roll your eyes...
and whisper behind my back
like I'm some fucking kind
of type-A cunt?!
I'll sand it and
refinish it this weekend.
Nothing is irreversible.
Hi.
I'm Betsy.
What's your name?
Uh, Margaret.
Are you coming
to the meeting?
No. Hi.
I'm running errands.
Oh, okay.
Can I help you?
I'm...
just... just looking.
Yeah.
We get that a lot.
Take your time.
You know, so she claims
she kicked me out
'cause I didn't
clean the roof.
Heh. I know it
wasn't 'cause of that.
So, you know, one night,
when I was high,
um, I got
this grand idea
I should go clean the
roof right now, you know?
So, uh,
that's what I do.
And, uh, I could hear
her yelling at me,
but, uh,
I wasn't done,
so I didn't
say anything.
I just kept scrubbing that
fucking moss off the roof.
So, yeah, it must have
looked a little weird
when she came round
and saw me up there,
especially since it was
the middle of the night.
Man,
I don't know, man.
I mean, I... Like,
my skin itches,
and I'm...
I'm scared as hell,
but I think... I think
that this is better.
So I got
four days today.
That's right.
Four days, man.
Hi. I'm Nancy.
I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Nancy.
Hi, Nancy.
I'm really grateful
to be here today.
I'm grateful
for my sobriety.
And I want
to say welcome
to anybody new
that we have.
So I put my phone number
on the first page, okay?
Use it anytime,
day or night.
Mine's in there too.
Thank you.
I know this must be super
hard with your situation.
Excuse me?
Oh, you probably
don't know.
I'm Tony and,
uh, Paul's mom,
Nancy, Nancy Biddle.
The boys were
really worried about you
at the Waffle Stop.
Hmm.
But listen.
We all have our stories,
or we wouldn't be here.
I tried to steal
a horse once.
You did what?
I did.
Sorry about that.
We're running
a bit behind.
But then, we're always
running a bit behind.
So when you testify,
gotta be very straightforward,
what you saw,
who was there,
what they did.
You made a statement
to the police.
I think so.
You did, but for
the sake of clarity,
we're gonna need to walk
through it one more time.
You ready?
No.
Sorry?
I'm sorry.
Okay. I'm ready.
You are?
Hi.
Shh.
Marcus, sweetie?
Your mom is here.
What do you want?
Hey.
Um, there's
a preliminary trial next week,
so I-I thought that maybe,
you know, you'd want...
I don't want to.
No, I'm sure
you don't want to.
If I saw that guy again,
I'd bash
his fucking skull in.
Marcus...
What?
I'm just gonna
leave this here.
Just in case.
Look, they're gonna
open up his war record.
They're gonna talk about
PTSD. Bunch of bull.
Hey, no argument here.
Look at Butch Rose.
He was out there
same as Jake.
Same battalion.
Exactly!
A-And now he's running
his dad's dealership,
and he's doing great.
Are we doing this thing?
I'm just stating...
Let's do it.
So right in the middle of
this guy's shit-talking,
Seamus whips
his dick out,
and I'm like, "What the
fuck, man?" Right?
But then he starts
pissing on the dude
right in the back of
his leg, and of course
he starts swinging
on Seamus,
and I figure
I better do something,
so I grab this two-by-four,
and I hit him
right in the skull.
It made
this crazy sound,
like a...
like a hollow pop,
like the dude's head was
empty or something.
That's crazy.
Yeah, that's a crazy story,
Marcus.
Anyone want anything?

I've had in a long time.
This is fun?
Sure.
Stop it.
I'm sorry for disturbing
your fun, man.
It won't happen again.

anybody, uh...
Any burning desires?

get a chance to share?
I tried to kiss my son.
What?
Who are you?
I'm sorry. I'm Margaret.
I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Margaret.
Hi, Margaret.
So I'm
pretty screwed up.
Today is
my sixth meeting.
It's my sixth day.
I don't know
what to do next.
I don't know.
A few of us are going for pie and coffee.
Do you wanna come?
Nah. I'm...
I don't think I'm
up for that. Thanks.
Uh, it wasn't
actually a question.
Well, you know what? I...
I am... I am actually
gonna go home, yeah.
Want some company?
Really?
Really.
It's really good.
You think so?
Yeah, I do.
You did that
with a chain saw?
And a chisel.
Where does someone learn
to do something like that?
I took
Sculpture in college.
Who didn't?
Thanks.
So you're staying
with Seamus?
For a couple weeks now.
Shit got
pretty hectic at home.
Ah. Thought you might
be hiding out from the cops.
Why?
You know.
For beating down
that Quickie Lube guy.
Nah.
Cops around here
are weak, man.
Couldn't do shit
if they tried.
You know
that guy Jake,
the guy
who killed my dad?
Well, they're not
gonna do shit to him.
That blows.
That's why I'm
gonna do it myself.
What the fuck?
Dude, you can't
smoke in the house!
Seriously,
what are you thinking?
Can you leave?
Don't.
Yeah.
I think
I'm gonna leave now.
Bye.
Man, can we talk?
Sure.
Look, I know you're going
through a tough time,
but...
It's all good, man.
I'm just gonna
go stay somewhere else.
I don't want you
to stay somewhere else.
I want you to stop acting like a...
a douche.
What?
I put the cigarette out.
Yeah. Okay.
I want you
to stay somewhere else.
Hey, Kevin, I just wanted to
say that I agree with you.
This thing could go south
pretty quickly tomorrow.
They paint him
as a war hero,
you know, one who
got ruined by the war,
a jury of his peers
might let him walk.
It could happen.
It could happen.
We just all gotta be prepared for
the fact that it could happen.
Dad! Hey, Dad!
Hi.
I've been really fucked up,
you know.
I know.
I wanted to apologize...
and say that you
didn't do anything wrong.
I know.
I need you to know
that whatever happens,
you didn't
do anything wrong.
Wh-What do you mean,
"Whatever happens"?
Nothing.
I'm sorry. Um...
I'm really fine,
but I've... I've gotta go.
You're going
to the trial?
Mmm-hmm.
You want company?
No.
Marcus, you came.
I'm gonna go up there.
You know what?
I thought maybe that you'd
want to sit over here by...
I love you, Mom.
I love you too.
Hey, Jake!
Jake, take it easy, huh?
This is none
of your concern, Steve.
I know.
It's none of my business.
Just come over here.
Talk to me for a second.
I'm okay, Steven.
I know you are, hon.
I'm okay.
I just wanna talk to Jake.
Come on, man.
Take a walk with me.
All rise.
Be seated.
Before we continue,
Mr. Walters, you wanted
to address the court?
Yes, Your Honor.
Go ahead.
I want to plead guilty,
Your Honor.
You understand,
Mr. Walters,
that this plea precludes
your right to a trial?
Yes, sir.
And that you're
pleading guilty
to murder in the second degree?
Yes, sir.
Mr. Young, you've spoken
with your client?
Yes, Your Honor.
Guilty plea is accepted.
Okay.
Something more?
Yes, Your Honor.
If possible, my client would
like to make a statement.
Go ahead,
Mr. Walters.
I know that I can't
change what happened...
but if I could take back one
second of my shit life...
it would be that one.
I just...
I got nothing.
Sentencing will be
scheduled for a later date.
Court is adjourned.
Marcus!

It's closer down the hill.
Hey.
You know?
Because I go
down the hill.
Oh, it's awful.
It was, really.
It was really bad.
It's been hard since...
Hey.
Hey.
Can I... I need to speak
to you about something.
Okay.
So?
So apparently my... my son
has moved into the woods.
Like, permanently?
I assume not,
but it's hard to know,
since he's still
not talking to me.
Sure.
I mean, I have to respect
him for what he wants,
and I really
can't fucking blame him
for not wanting
to come home.
Sure.
But...
I can't let my underage son
live in the woods, right?
Right.
I mean, I-I have
to be his mother
and... and take care
of him, right?
Right.
I don't know
how to do that.
Sure you do.
You just think, "What would
my mother have done?"
and then
you don't do that.
Right.
Agh!
Agh!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hi.
What are you doing?
Camping.
Really? Is that
what you're doing, Mom?
You know, Marcus, I-I have a lot of
things to make amends to you for,
but I-I feel like I should
start by apologizing
for telling you
it was okay
to ask a lot of rhetorical,
aggressive questions,
but it's just...
it's just rude.
I'm in the middle
of the woods!
I know.
How much more clear could I be
that I want to be
left the fuck alone?!
Yes, I get it.
I understand,
and I will
leave you alone.
The problem
that I am facing
is that I am
still your mother.
Yeah, I know,
such as I am.
Why do you care?
You never did before.
You know, I don't really blame
you for feeling that way.
I've made a lot of
really terrible choices.
I...
The only thing
I have left
is that I am willing to stay in
these woods as long as it takes
for you to figure your shit
out, until you come home.
Okay.
All right.
Hi.
I just realized
tomorrow's your birthday.
You want to do
something special?
Okay, I know that I'm
breaking the rules.
I'm really sorry.
I'm going to go.
Or maybe
could I just sit here
and listen to you play
for a little while?
It's a free country.
Hey, Jane.
Hi.
Yes, it's Margaret.
Uh, is Seamus home?

Goodbye. See you.
Sweet dreams.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll make sure
those numnuts get home.
Well, I would say
that was a success.
Mmm-hmm.
I'm serious.
That was a good thing you did.
Right now, it's just
about you giving,
not about him accepting.
You know what I mean?
Okay.
This is the long game, girl.
What's the short game?
Short game's an illusion.
Hey.
Mrs. Biddle, what are...
She's trying, Marcus. Do you have
any clue how hard she is trying?
You don't know
what you're talking about.
Hush. I know exactly
what I'm talking about,
and you wanna know
what I think?
I think you feel better
being mad at your mom
than just plain old sad about
your dad, and I get it.
Mad, you can
do something with.
You can punish
somebody with it,
but I want you to listen
and listen good, kid.
You have one life.
You had one dad,
and he's gone.
You have one mom, and she
is not, and she's trying,
and while you're busy
wallowing over here
because nobody knows the
kind of pain that you're in,
I have a friend who
just lost her husband
who might be able
to understand.
Now, I think it's cool that
you're doing what you have to do,
because you're just a kid, and
you don't know any better,
but this selfish
bullshit ends tonight.
When you wake up
in the morning,
I want you to start the next
year of your life fresh,
and you do that
by giving a shit
about somebody
besides yourself.
And happy birthday,
by the way.
Come on, buddy.
Oh!
Hey.
Sorry.
That's okay.
Just l-let me
throw a sweater on.
Did you have fun
at the party?
It was
a really good party.
I'm sorry I...
I wasn't there.
This was probably
really a stupid idea.
No, it wasn't.
