Family First (2018) - full transcript

JP vit avec son frère Vincent, sa mère Joe et sa copine Mel dans un petit appartement de Verdun. Constamment sur la corde raide, JP tente de conserver un équilibre entre les nombreux ...

- Can we go now?
- No. We could get screwed.

- Why?
- It's just bad timing.

Chi-nese!

Check out those big balls.

That's what I'm talking about!
You like big balls?

Blue balls!

No!

I won't stop, man.

- Who owns Verdun?
- We own Verdun!

Kanpai!

Everybody out!
The restaurant's closed.



I heard you got
some good shit back there.

That true?

Is it?

Let's see it.

Was that so hard?

Who gave it to you?

- Who was it?
- Chantale!

Chantale...

Oh, wow!

Empty the register.

I think there's more.

Enough. Let her go.

- Sayonara.
- Vince...

Hello!



It's good to see you.

How's it going?

Hello!

You brought him?

Yep!

You know how I feel
about your brother.

Don't worry, baby.
It'll be fine.

I just don't want him messing
with my friends.

- You're the best!
- No, you're the best!

Isn't he the best?

He's the fucking best!

I'm gonna go pee-pee!

- JP!
- What?

How about you?

Let's go!

OK, let's do it!

- No.
- Yes!

You'll look great!

You guys think he should shave?

Yeah!

I can't hear you!
What was that?

All right! Fuck!

- Ready?
- I fucking hate you.

No, you love me.
We're doing this?

Don't fuck it up.

I won't fuck it up, man.

What a hunk!

So, I'm in the terrain park,

and I see some chicks
on the chairlift...

"Chicks on the chair lift..."

Cut it out, man!

Anyway, I miss my landing,
break my leg, wipe out...

"I break my leg, wipe out..."

Fucking hell, man!

We good?

All good.

FAMILY FIRST

Calm down!

I'll be right there.

I'd be fucking great at soccer!
Why didn't we ever play?

Mom is sleeping.
Do you have to shout?

- Why didn't we play soccer?
- I don't know.

Fly, fly, little butterfly!

What are they up to?

You woke Mom up. Good job!

Do you know what time it is?

How am I supposed to sleep
with you yelling and screaming?

Jesus!

Hello!

My God! What did you do
to your hair?

Your beautiful hair!

It's OK, Mom.

- Who did this?
- You're looking at him.

You big clown!

- He looks great!
- What have you done?

It'll grow back.

It's a good thing
you have a handsome face.

What about my face?

Oh, look at that!

- What?
- It didn't go well?

It went super well!

It went, like, rock 'n' roll,
all the way.

I can see that!

Sit down!

I'm your mother.

My mommy, my sweet little mommy!

You're a piece of work! Stop!

OK, move your leg.
Those beanpoles...

Stop! Give me that.

- Hello!
- OK, that's enough!

It never ends with you!

You're all beat up!
Does it hurt?

Are these cuts too?

It's in your hair.
It's everywhere!

What the heck did you get up to?

What the—what the—
what the heck?

I'm going to bed.

- You're leaving me with him?
- I spent all day with him.

Oh, sure! I'll deal with him.

You're not gonna
get any sleep though.

He'll be at it all night.

Oh yeah, real scary!

You really scared me that time!

You little shit! Stop it!

- You really scared me.
- Sorry.

- I don't like it.
- Sorry.

How am I gonna get any sleep?

I don't know.

I can hear your heartbeat.

Oh yeah?

You don't just headbutt
a fucking stranger!

Normal people don't do
shit like that!

Your brother needs help.

Don't start, OK?

I'm not trying to be mean.
It might be good for him.

You're always getting him
out of trouble.

Can we talk about it later?
I'm fucking beat.

I don't want us to fight.

OK.

Goodnight.

Are you sleeping?

Were you listening at the door?

No. I wasn't.

Want one?

Go to bed, Vincent.

Not there, dipshit!

Vincent!

OK, enough.

Check this out!

A nice picture.

Me, Mom and JP.

Cute, right?

It doesn't hurt.

Mornings are gonna suck
when you're gone.

Well, move in with me!
Then they won't suck.

- You're so beautiful.
- Don't say that.

I just wanna eat you up, goddammit!

What's that watch doing here?

Vincent left it last night.

- Johnny!
- They called him John...

Well, well!
You get caught in a lawnmower?

Excellent!
Still smells like Chinese.

- Your beautiful hair...
- It'll grow back.

- Where was it?
- In my room.

- They're good kids, Joe.
- I know it.

I want coffee too!

- I want some coffee.
- You shouldn't drink coffee!

Thank you! I keep telling him.

Tell me about your dream.

These aren't good for you.

Then why'd you bring them?

They aren't good for you.

We aren't immortal.

Have some peanut butter and toast.

- What are you saying, Lil' Dan?
- I told you not to call me that.

JP's not fat!

You need protein.

- JP's not fat!
- I didn't say he was.

I'm just saying
watch what you eat.

Well, I ate three,
and you didn't say a thing!

Grab an apple.

I'm going for a run.
I need real food.

Fine, go ahead.

Take one. Take three! Four!

See? He doesn't even want one.

Jesus, can you keep it down?

Morning, sweetheart!

- Want a donut?
- No.

Let go of my cigarette!

So, are you moving out soon?

- Yeah, this week.
- Already?

If you need anything,
a truck or something...

just let me know.

Thanks, but I've got it covered.

It's just that
you're part of the family now.

Wait a minute!

Check me out.

Christ!

Money over Jesus

What the fuck, man?

Trying to be tough, man?

Think you're better than me?

Jesus!

Know who I am?

I've got an idea.

Big ho, sit

I said Mama over Jesus

I gotta go.

Now?

Bye!

- Bye, Mom!
- Bye, sweetie!

Later.

JP?

I need you to
pay Olivier a visit.

I saw him by Verdun metro again,
the little shit.

OK. Sorry, I was sure
he'd gotten the message.

You'll have to be
more clear this time.

Shut up!

So, Mel's moving out?

Yeah.

She asked me to go with her.

I don't know what to do.

Enough with your school bullshit.

OK.

I'll give you real responsibilities.

You'll keep doing the collections
with your brother...

and looking after Bob's grow-op.

- Great.
- Deliveries too.

The collections...

You don't have
a problem with that, do you?

No.

What kind of problem?

Who?

Chantale.

Chantale Duchesne?

She's getting in my way.

Sir!

Think about it, kid.

Sir, your dog!

Jackson!

- Hi, Marie!
- Shut the door.

Hi!

No!

Are you sure that's the problem?

- Let me see.
- It's not over there?

- No, it's here.
- I told you!

I was sure this thing was busted.

I kept telling him
it was this thing.

I know I plugged it in right.

- Idiot!
- How could I have known?

- You should have listened!
- What do you know?

I'm not as dumb
as you think I am.

- I'm taking Mom out tonight.
- Don't be stupid.

She's been sober six months.

Exactly! It's just one night!

- Give her a break.
- This is her break!

She's an alcoholic.
You know what that is?

"Alcoholic..." There he is!

Listen, if you take her out,
I'll kick your ass.

I'm serious.
Don't do it, OK?

OK.

I'm hungry.

Jocelyne! Hi!

I'll take six pogos, please.

We gotta talk.

Let's go.

- What do you want?
- What's going on?

Sit down.

You think we're idiots?

Stay the fuck away
from our spots. Got it?

Get off me!

Is that clear? Is it?
Answer, goddamn it!

Yeah!

Jocelyne's fries
are so fucking good!

Want one?

You sure? They're the best.

They need a little salt, though.

Now get the fuck out of here!

We can't just let them
leave like that.

Oh, the little boys are leaving.

Bye, little boys!

Time to go! Time to go!

Bye-bye!

Still want your pogos?

Yes, we still want 'em!

- Here.
- Nice pogos like these...

Give me a smile, Jocelyne.

That'll be $6.75.

Did you see that fucking fag bag?
I'd shit on his face.

- Let's do something!
- No.

Yes, let's go do something fun!

No, I don't feel like it.

- Come on, let's!
- Shut up, man!

Why'd you tell me to shut up?

Vince? Hey...

OK then!

I think it's time to leave, kiddo.

Oh shit! That's exactly
what I was gonna do!

I swear!

It's like you can read my mind!

Jocelyne, you're so beautiful!

All right, all right...

And your pogos are fucking awesome!

- Want a bite?
- No, you take 'em.

You're missing out!

OK.

Bye!

Bye, asshole!

- I'm sorry.
- No worries!

You OK?

What's wrong?

I dunno.

I'm fine.

Is it work?

Did something happen?

You can tell me.
I've never judged you.

I know.

Hola!

Hola! Buona sera!

Don't. Just leave it.

He's so fucking annoying!

Good morning!

Good morning!

Hi, Mom!

Were you sleeping?

Vincent, what are you doing?

I'm sleeping.

Well, go sleep in your own room.

It's Danny.
Just making sure everything's OK.

- OK, let's go.
- Get off!

Go on. Go to bed.

It's OK.

It's fine, honey.

- OK, let's go sleepy-bye.
- Yeah, but be quiet.

Yes, I'll be very, very quiet.

Can we just sing a song?

Dude, I have a boner!

Wake up, Mom!

What's going on?

I'm late! Get up!

Tell him, JP!

Get the hell out, Vincent!

Get out! I'm gonna be late!

Get out so I can get dressed.

Here.

How's that?

What are you doing?

- I think you're special.
- OK.

What's up?

- Got something for me?
- Yeah.

Give it to me.

School's good?

Yeah.

Are you serious about that?

Yeah, I am.

Split this with your brother.

- You don't want that life.
- Sure, sure.

I know you.

Take a seat.

Want a cold one?

Sure.

So, Mel...

What?

She cut her family out of her life.

She told me the other day.

When was that?

Would you do that?

What?

Cut out your family.
Would you?

Of course not.

Cut yourself off completely...

No, you wouldn't do that.

Well, if it isn't
the lovely Chantale!

Danny...

Go to my office.
I'll be right there.

- Why the hell is she here?
- We have a meeting.

- A meeting?
- Yeah.

- Like, you're gonna talk?
- Yeah.

- You're gonna talk?
- You got a problem? Chill out!

What? Sorry, I didn't get that.

What? Oh, I see!

JP's the boss now.
I didn't get the memo.

OK, OK...

Don't ever tell me
how to run my business.

Is that clear?

Got it.

So...

You better not choke.

I, uh...

I can't, Uncle Danny.

It's OK. I'll find someone else.

It'll take the pressure off.

- That'd be great.
- Yeah. You can relax.

Know what? I know just who to ask.

You know him!
You know him well.

I'll give you a hint.
His name starts with V.

Oh yes! Your brother
has the balls to do it.

OK, wait.

- Wait for what?
- I'll think about it.

Oh, you'll think about it!
You'll email me in a few months?

- I don't have time for this shit!
- Just not him!

- Then who?
- Christ, do we really have to?

Clean it up.

And how is the lovely Chantale?

Seriously, your boyfriend is a fag.

What makes you say that?

Stop! Stop!

Stop! I didn't do anything!

Not the basket!

Pick it up, Vince.

Here! For you!

In the basket!

In the basket?

Check it out.

Listen. You can hear the ocean.

Just listen.
It'll help you focus.

Come on! Move closer.

Hear it?

God of butter...

give JP the strength...

to pass his exams.

Holy Butter,

Father of milk,

pray for us poor butter-eaters

now and at the hour
of our death.

- Amen. Thank you.
- Amen.

Will you just grate the cheese?
You never finish what you start.

Yes, yes, yes! Activity!

Hey, Vince, what time is it?

- Hand me a plate?
- I'll grab you one, sweetie.

Why don't we snack
on a nice little veggie?

- A nice little cucumber?
- Oh, yum!

Oh, I stained my shirt!

- You always do that.
- I'm a big baby.

I'm always getting stains.

- What are you doing?
- I gotta go.

You're not staying for supper?

You gotta eat with us!

I have to go to the hardware store.

Mom made spaghetti. Stay!

Oh, and we gotta go
see Sonia tonight.

Sonia!

Geez, you never stop.

Yeah, and I'm tired.
I'd rather call it a night.

You have to eat.
A big boy like you!

- Have a slice of cheese.
- I'm not hungry, Mom.

- You sure?
- I'll eat later.

I don't like it
when you don't eat.

Check this out.

What?

Where did you find this?!

Wow, that's old!

The three of us on Mother's Day!

Danny took the picture.

You painted a rock for me.

I put it in a box.
It's still around here somewhere.

- In a box?
- Oh, look at JP!

Look at him! Look!

You wouldn't smile.
Look at that pout!

Remember? Danny forced you
to be in the picture.

You were hiding behind the couch!

I didn't like pictures.

I can't believe you found this!

You all right?

I was prettier as a brunette.

- No way! You look great.
- I looked like a pin-up.

Why'd you turn it off?

Vincent?

You have nice hair.

Thanks...

It's really nice.

Why are you moving out,
my sweet Mel?

Come on, Vincent...

You don't like us?

I never said that.

Well, that's OK, 'cause...

we don't like you either.

Let me go, Vincent.

Don't you dare
take my brother with you.

Come here!

Come!

This...

This is a wedding ring.

And I'm married...

to my family.

I'm married to you.

I'm married to JP.

If her kids are there,
be careful, OK?

I'm serious.

We take care of her,
but not in front of the kids.

You know I wouldn't do that.

Sonia!

I paid! I paid!

We know you didn't.

Vince, the kids are here.
Let's go.

Wow! The kids are home!

Let her go!

Go into the bedroom, sweetie!

Go into the bedroom!

Mom!

Stay in here, OK?

Just calm down.

You didn't pay!

Quit screaming.
You fucking scared me!

We're not bad guys.
We just wanna talk to your mom.

So calm down.

- What's your name?
- Naomie.

That's a pretty name.

I'm gonna play
a little game, Sonia.

Stay there...

For fuck's sake!

Cover your ears, like this.

Good! Keep 'em there.

Now lie here with your brother.

It's your knee,
or else it's your face.

So put your knee back.

Put your foot back on the chair.

Back on the chair.

That's right.

- Mom!
- Vince!

- Bye-bye, knee!
- Vince!

Well?

Danny won't be happy.

We were supposed to fuck her up.

I know.

What's going on with you?

I want out, man.

Why?

Vince, this is crazy.
We have to stop.

But it's our thing!

JP!

We're stopping. It's crazy.

I can't do it anymore.

Well, I can.

I don't want Danny to think
I wouldn't do it.

Of course.

- I'll tell him if you don't.
- I'll tell him.

I have my period.

Who cares?

Wait.

JP...

Stop!

At least let me
go to the bathroom.

Why are you texting my uncle?

It's not my fault. He started it.

I'm as weirded out as you are.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to lose you.

You won't.

- Sorry about earlier.
- It's OK.

Hi, sweetie!

Come here.

Come.

Everything OK?

Are you gonna move in with Mel?

Mom, seriously?

I'm just wondering.

Did I say I was leaving?

- No.
- Well, then...

I mean, I don't think I will.

Please...

I won't touch a drop, I promise.
I'll be good.

I'll start exercising again.

I won't bring anyone home.

That's not it.

I'll be nice to you,
to everyone, I swear.

OK, stop, stop!

You're perfect, Mom.

It has nothing to do with you.

Don't leave me alone with him.

I can't handle it.

Hello!

My loves!

Look! I got married!

Hey, honey, you're gonna sleep
in your own room tonight, OK?

Guess who I married. Guess.

Who?

I'll never get divorced.

I'll never get divorced. Never!

That's enough! Out!

Give her a fucking break!
Go sleep in your room.

Goodnight.

Goodnight to you, JP.

My buddy has this silk shirt
with dragons on it.

- There's no dragons.
- Hi!

Danny brought us a surprise!
There are sausages if you want.

Oh yeah? I don't know.

My stomach hurts.

Again? You've always
got a stomach ache.

Got anything for me?

No.

Did you mess her up, at least?

Well...

We gave her a good scare,
but I didn't touch her.

It's not my fault.

- Get the hell out!
- Leave me alone!

You're fucking killing me!

Her kids were there.

Come on! Get the hell out!

Go ahead, asswipe!

Go fuck yourself!

That's no excuse.

I think it is.

Vincent!

What?

Come see me at the bar.

OK!

Vince?

What? Can't I shit in peace?

I'll text you later.

Whatever!

I'm fed up with
your fucking crazy family.

They piss me off.
All of them.

I can't wait to get
the hell out of here.

Mel...

He gives me shit,
and you don't do anything about it!

If the resistors are the same,

then you take
the resistance value

divided by the number
of resistors.

If a circuit has four resistors
of the same value,

say 100 ohm,

you divide by four.

An R of 100 divided by four...

I'll fucking kill you!

I'll fucking kill you,
I swear to God!

Is there something wrong?

Mom?

My dear, sweet mommy...
What's wrong?

Darling Mommy...

What's going on?

What's going on?

Come here.

Hold me. Hold me in your arms.
It'll feel good.

Squeeze me tight.

Everything else is shit,
but we're doing all right.

We're all right.

You're crying.

You're crying! Mom!

No, no, no! Come on.

Come on!

Let's do something. Come on, OK?

Mom, let's do something fun.

Come on!
Let's go see a movie.

Let's go...

Let's go get ice cream!

Do you want me
to tell you a story?

Come on, Mom, let's go.

Mom! Stop! Stop!

I'm here with you!

Stop!

Get ahold of yourself!

Hello?

I just got out.
We had a group project.

Vince.

Vince, back up.
I didn't get any of that.

OK, I'm coming. Yeah.

It's you we're drawing
when we play hangman.

Piece of shit.

You look AIDS stricken,
Dressed like a Welfare recipient

Bet you walk by a gay bar and
Get scared like shit be tense

I'm leaps and bounds ahead
Of this little bitch fo' real

Get snuffed with the impact
Of a Soviet missile to ya grill

'Bout time you let an expert
Slay the Mic fool

No doubt you caught beat-downs
Every day in High School

Get gone, you hit it raw
And caught chlamydia, good job

Now you trippin' of that fungus
Like a hippie at Woodstock

Wildin' but you softer
Than double ply arse wipe

Couldn't come hard in bed givin'
A bunch of fly broads pipe

I'm the shit, you pathetic,
That's how the fans see ya

Make em' forget you quick
Like they had bouts of amnesia

Later!

I'll massacre you live
And shatter your career

Your mom gave me STDs, while
I smacked her from the rear

I'll send you to heaven
Your life's fucked for free

Think you're BIG and get killed
I'm Puff Daddy

Scratching you off the list
Is my incentive here

You'll get fisted until
You end up in intensive care

Bitch, I'll kill you explicitly
So it's best to hide

I'll exterminate this insect
...pesticide

Keep thinking I'm wrong
You'll get stuck in the ground

This isn't sex with your mom
I'm not fucking around

This is my spot
So you better pray for help

You'll be shown to the exit
You can't save yourself

Bitch!

You built like an escapee,
From the Warsaw Ghetto

Up your calorie intake,
Little cornball, let's go

I pop dude,
This frail sucker's scared

Flimsy and white,
Call him lace underwear

You fail,
I do the work when hired Dog

Kill you here on stage or in
A spacecraft live from Mars

Anywhere, any time,
No problem

The outcome'll be the same
With both options

Guy, when it comes to Faggotry,
You love to get involved

Open you up, expose your inner-
Girl like Russian nesting dolls

Good for nothin',
Your rhymes type soft wimp

Trade the mic in for a
Skirt and some nylon stockings

What you got?

As an emcee, you're far
From having style & hype

Call me skinny, but
I'm not the fragile type

You couldn't "go hard" without
Cialis, don't act that way

Plus it's your mother's fault
If I contracted AIDS

I have no respect, you'll get
Mugged in the streets

It's pound for pound like
Selling drugs in the streets

You'll get blasted for thinking
That I'm joking around

I'll light up your girl even if
There's "no smoking allowed"

WordUP! By the crowd
You're not liked at all

You're murdered by the force
of Thor when lightning falls

My guerrilla will reign
Your defenses, they fell

And I'll dedicate it to your
Mom when I send you to Hell

Bitch!

Where are you going?

None of your business.

You'll be careful?

You poor little girl...

This is my house.

Danny's gonna give me
more responsibilities.

Oh yeah?

He said he trusts me.

Said he'll give me more work.

Like what?

Well, he has a "special" job for me.

What is it?

Fuck, Vincent, tell me!

Don't do it, Vincent.

Look at me.

Don't do it. Understand?

Danny doesn't
give a shit about you.

There's a guy in there.

She's with a guy.

She brought someone home.

Yeah, she brought someone home.

That's my watch. Don't forget.

- When's Charlie coming?
- In about an hour.

Goddamn exam!
I wish I could help.

It's fine, honestly.
I don't have that much stuff.

You OK?

What's the matter?

I think your mom
was drinking yesterday.

Mom, you brought us a visitor!

Good to see you again, Alain!

Fantastic!
This is so much fun!

- High five, man!
- Fuck you!

Come on! High five!

You're crazy!

Don't go, Alain!
Come on.

No, no, no...
Hey, let go of me!

- He's not doing any harm!
- I'm not!

I remember why I left.

He's just joking.
You know him!

I'm just joking!

Don't go!

Goddamn!
I'm dealing with it!

Goddamn it! Let go of me!

Alain! Goddammit!

Get off! Stop it!

Uncle Danny...

You gave Vincent the job.
Are you fucking serious?

Well, you didn't want it.

- I think it's a bad idea.
- I'll be the judge of that.

Yeah, but...

I make the rules!

I'm looking out for you.
You know him. He's crazy.

Looking out for me?

You're not smarter than me, JP.

He doesn't know what he's doing.

I need guys like Vincent.

If that gets you all emotional,
too fucking bad.

OK, I'll do it.

Too late.

- I said I'll do it.
- It's too late!

I'll do it. Give me the job!

Too bad!

See that door?

Get the hell out!

Fine. And you know what?

You can stop
texting my girlfriend.

She blocked you, asshole.

Hi! It's Joe.

I won't be in today.
I'm not feeling well.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom!

Dammit, Vince, call me back!

And, uh...

That's all. Bye.

Hey! You scared?

Leaving already?

Pussy!

You're scared, huh?

Vincent!

He's not here.

I just felt like it.

You know what?
Vincent takes care of me.

He's still with me.

He loves me!

We don't need you.
Get the hell out!

You can quit looking.

I drank it all.

You were doing so well, Mom.

Hi.

I'm not working for you anymore.

Stay away from my family
and my brother. Got it?

I don't give a shit.

Bye, Danny.

Chantale?

Who are you?

I'm Danny's nephew.
Can I talk to you?

Make it quick.

Danny wants you dead.

He hired my brother to do it.

He's only 19.
He doesn't know what he's doing.

Could we make a deal?

Shit!

- We're good?
- Yep.

Vince?

Vincent?

Drop the gun!

Don't do it, kid!

Back up!

Drop the gun!

I'm gonna kill you!

Drop the fucking gun!

Don't fuck with me
or I'll kill you.

Drop the gun. Now!

Fucking drop it!

On your knees!

Look at me! Look at me!

Enough! Let him go.

Fucking hell!

JP!

- Where's JP?
- What?

- Where's JP?
- I don't know.

What's going on?
Where's his stuff?

- He's gone?
- Where'd he go?

He's gone?
He left with her?

Where is he, Mom?

I don't know.
You're supposed to know!

What? No!

Where'd he go, Vincent?

Mom, what do I do?

You know. You know!

You know, Vincent!

- Tell me you know!
- Stop it!
