Uncertain (2015) - full transcript

Uncertain is a visually stunning and disarmingly funny portrait of the literal and figurative troubled waters of Uncertain, Texas, a 94-resident town so tucked away "you've got to be lost to find it".

(lapping waves)

(whipping wind gusts)

(flies buzzing)

(cacophony of wildlife)

- Hello?

Hello?

Sir?

Sir?

(makes monkey call)

(hoots)

(boat engine roars)



- Hello, come out here.

(triumphant laugh)

(gun blasts)

(grunts)

(heavy breathing)

(tranquil music)

- Uncertain, It's not
on the way to anywhere.

You've either got to
know where you are going

or be lost to find it.

Being located on the
Louisiana-Texas border

tends to be an area
where persons with uh,

criminal histories or
problems with the law

will tend to migrate to,

to get away from
other jurisdictions.



In other words, people who
are running from something

in Louisiana would
like to run into Texas

and use the state line
as kind of a barrier

to protect themselves from
being arrested in Louisiana.

So uh, or running from anywhere,

Uncertain's a good place to hide

because as I said it's just
down in the middle of nowhere.

- If you live in Uncertain,
you retire at 21.

Which means that,
once you turn 21

there's nothing for
you to do out here.

I mean, you are
gonna be drinking

at those bars religiously.

If you can break
out of that cycle

and just fight your way
out and get somewhere else,

you'll be able to get
your feet on the ground,

and build up from there.

Yay, beer!

("My Girl" by the Temptations)

There's not a lot of new faces.

Even if you got a job in
this town, there's no women.

All the girls have all
moved off and got married.

The ones that do come down here,

better get there
first, you know.

- [Karaoke DJ] Zach,
are you ready to sing?

You gonna give me the
name you wanna sing?

- Umm.

- [Karaoke DJ] You
don't know yet?

- Dunno yet.

- All right, All My
Loving, Oh Darling?

- All My Loving.

♪ Close your eyes
and I'll kiss you

♪ Tomorrow I'll miss you

♪ Remember I'll always be true

♪ Do, do, doo, do, doo

(meat slicer whirring)

- [Cindy] You do realize
that you look like Peg Bundy

with that cigarette
hanging from your mouth

- That's quite all right.

- Aww, I've got
to wash my hands.

- Well, wash your hands, honey.

- OK, your mama's not
lookin', you want some?

Good girl.

Me and my girlfriend,

we're both in recovery.

So we figured this
was a good place

to kinda get away
from everything.

And you know, we've been
able to make a life together

that's just beyond
anything we ever dreamed.

(meat slicer whirring)

(solemn music)

People say, you're a
little obsessed with hogs.

It's being in an environment,
you know, and doing things

that I did prior to
becoming a drug addict.

And it was a re-connection with

my Native American ancestry.

It's something to,
uh, hold on to.

Early this morning,
we got our first, uh,

sighting, of Mr Ed.

There's the profile,
you see that long snout?

That's him, I can pause it.

Mr Ed, the hog with
the horse's head.

You know, that's not
just any hog, you know.

That's the big one out here.

This is his territory now

and til he either dies of old
age or somebody kills him,

I don't think there's
another boar out here

big enough to run him out.

So we need to kill him,

not only for the food
and everything else,

but once we get him out then
that'll bring other animals in.

(boar chomps)

Oh well.

(electric knife whurrs)

(phone rings)

- Johnson's Ranch.

OK, which cabin are you wanting?

How many people do you have?

- How far you going down?

- I'm still going,
I ain't gonna go far

but I'm going somewhere.

- What are they catching
now, yellow bellies?

- On minnows or jigs?

- Really?

- Yellow Bass?

- White Perch, huh?

Now you can catch 25
with no size limit.

Well, it's not
hard to stay legal.

You're on the straight
and narrow now aren't you?

- When you're young but it's
gonna catch up with you.

- Boy it's a nice cool morning.

Well that vegetation's
got a lot of

the back parts of the
lake swallowed up.

- [Woman] I heard that it,

the whole way it started
was that it was a plant

that people bought
for their fish tanks.

And when they threw it
out, it ended up, you know,

working its way to the lake.

- Always risky business,
playing with Mother Nature.

No, it's put us on a
limited lifetime I think.

- Yeah, cause if the
lake turns into a,

island per se, there
ain't nothing to do.

There's no reason
for people to come.

I mean, they waited
until it was so bad

and then they really sprayed it

but it just killed what you see.

It's not, and then it sinks.

And then it takes up
the bottom of the lake.

So I don't know.

- Well.

This is Mother Nature's
favorite place.

Heaven and home, and a
little bit of hell too.

It's heartbreaking to know
the only place like this

is going away if they
don't figure out something,

and I don't see a solution.

It's already affecting
the fishing big time.

It's just getting worse.

There's no oxygen
so there's no fish.

I see the beginning of
the end with this stuff.

The raccoon came to
us in a kid's hand.

(heartwarming music)

Oh, he was a couple inches long.

Two weeks after we got
him he opened his eyes,

raised all our dogs,

he's a wonderful
part of our lives.

He's not a pet, he
lives outside every day,

comes in at night and
plays with the dogs

and eats his groceries
at the end of my bed.

And I play with him a little
bit and then he goes his way,

right before the sun comes up.

(heartwarming music)

- The thing about
Texas is it allows

convicted felons to
hunt, with rifles

that are either replicas, curios

or were produced
before the year 1899.

It would be illegal for
me to own anything else.

They could give me 10 years

for having these
rifles in Louisiana.

Texas doesn't care.

(loping music)

You ain't got to run
faster than the hog.

You just got to run faster
than the slowest person.

(laughs)

The hog is over there.

(trigger clicks)

God damn it, what happened?

Fuck, he just ran off.

God damn it.

Mr. Ed, that son of a bitch.

That's one lucky fucking pig.

And he's smart too, he ran
off when he heard that click.

He'll be back.

Mr. Ed is a smart pig.

He knows we're
hunting him up there.

That's what this
area here was about,

was to get it where, where
somewhere he doesn't expect us.

So every time you make a step

and you give up your
hand, you've educated him.

He's just a monster and he's
a super aggressive animal.

- [Zach] Living down here
I tell myself don't dream,

that's not how you're
gonna be happy in life,

and I kind of pushed
my dreams aside.

My mom raised us weird.

We were just born to be weirdos.

Whatever we wanted to
do, we were into it.

She had a meltdown.

She just got
depressed one night,

she says she's got dynamite
and she's about to end it all.

I was talking with my
neighbor and she was like,

the best thing to do
is have the police

do a welfare checkup on her.

So I had that done

but because of that they
carried her off to the hospital

to see what was wrong with her.

So now I live here with my cats

and my 360.

I'm not the big hunter or
fisherman, that's all my brother.

- Bear and Son,
they discontinued this gentleman's Bowie.

That is a fucking knife,
I mean that's 125.

- Zach, leave the knife alone
before you hurt yourself.

- Sure.

A lot of people will ask me,

well Zach, what are you gonna do

if they ever come
up with a cure?

But if they did ever
come up with a cure,

I'm not gonna get it removed,

I'm just gonna get a
thin red X across there.

Just so people know, I had it

but now the day has
come that it's cured.

Just a thin red X, like that.

But yeah, that's just kind
of my diabetes tattoo.

- I value what I have today,
you know, and who I am today.

And inter-personal relationships,
they start to heal.

As evident with, uh, you know
me hunting with my son again,

you know, or him even
being in my employ again.

You done?

Isaiah, are you done?

- I've uh, probably
used the word dad

probably only called him
that like three times

in my entire life.

There was no father,
son relationship.

You know, we had threesomes
with women together.

Instead of teaching me how
to play catch with a baseball

he taught me how to cook dope.

He's been to prison
so many times,

I think he's done
about 13 years.

(dramatic music)

- There was a kid that
owed me a bunch of money.

My sister had died of
a heroine overdose, uh,

a few days before.

And, uh, I wanted
to go to her funeral

which was in Utah and
you know my parents,

at the time, knew
how strung out I was,

they didn't want me there.

And, uh, so I went over
to this kid's house,

ready to do battle, you know,

strike fear in the
heart of your enemy.

- We shaved his head
into a Mohawk and uh,

I painted war paint on his face,

and we took a brick hammer

and tied a leather
strap around it

and we took a hay bailing hook

and wrapped it to
his hand as well,

so it couldn't be yanked out.

- And I pounded on his door
in the middle of the night

ready to attack him
to get my money.

- So we hear tch-tch

and my father goes,
you know what that is?

And I'm like, yeah.

(gun blasts)

And he literally flew
back about ten feet.

- [Wayne] It was like
being hit in the chest

with a sledgehammer, it
was like somebody taking

a red hot poker and
shoving it into you.

- Get him in the
car and I ask him,

what do you wanna do?

If you go to hospital the
cops are gonna get involved.

What do you wanna do?

And he's like, take
me to the hospital.

- It went through my arm
there, and it came out there,

blew all that meat out

and then I took another
one in the chest.

It went through my gallbladder,

through my liver and
into my intestines

and it ran up behind my lung

over here, somewhere
by my heart.

When I showed up he just assumed

I was there to kill
him, which I, you know,

I can't say I was or I wasn't.

But uh, you know, I would
have shot me, too, you know?

You know any normal
human being would say,

ahh man, you know, I was shot,

would, that's enough, would
quit doing drugs, you know?

Just go ahead and cock it, and
pull that primer off of it.

Make sure you point it in a
safe direction when you do.

And stab it down there
as hard as you can.

And then twist it,
about four twists, five,

until it gets tight.

There you go.

If it twists, let it turn.

Let it turn as it comes.

Come on.
- [Isaiah] It's letting go.

- No it's not.

The bullet's right there,
the bullet's right there.

- I see it.

- Lift your arms.

You're gonna get any
of these sweat glands.

When I was a kid, I was
probably ten or eleven,

I was sitting in my living room

where I lived with
my father and uh,

my stepmother had a parrot

and they had it in a
cage on top of the piano

across the room, and
I was pumping shells

through a shotgun because
it had been jamming.

And I pumped it, and that
son of a bitch went off.

And it come about a foot
away from killing the parrot.

Blew a big hole in the
wall above the piano.

So I hung a picture over it.

They never knew
until they moved.

Found this big hole
in the fucking wall.

(fireworks whizzing and popping)

(cheers)

(phone rings)

- Johnson's Ranch.

Yeah, we're still here.

If the lake dies, the town dies.

Until the fish start biting
people aren't gonna come down.

I had some people
in Lubbock calling

and saying that
Caddo's impassable.

So then they change
their vacation plans

and those last minute vacations

we would be having right now,

aren't coming.

You gotta be patient, Henry.

- [Karen] Your
patience running short?

(engine revving)

- Yeah, it is pretty peaceful
here in the mornings.

Just me and the weevils,
you know, and the salvinia.

Under lab conditions
the plant can double

its leaf number in three days,

it can make itself into forty
square miles in three months.

Very hardy plant,
difficult to kill.

You can go out there with
sprays and three months later

it'll look like you
were never there.

The weevil has turned out to be

the only actual effective
bio control for salvinia.

The adults feed on
the buds and leaves

and the larvae bore
in the rhizomes.

So together that really
does a lot of damage.

It's a big undertaking.

Bio control would need
to be done on a scale

which has not been done before.

A lot of people just
simply don't like the idea,

or the expense or whatnot,
but the question is

what are the options?

It's gonna take
pretty much everybody,

and it's gonna take
some unity and uh,

we're all in the same boat.

The lake and the
town of Uncertain,

which pretty much relies
on the lake, you know,

is relying on the weevils.

(gun blasts)

- He's down.

That motherfucker's down.

There's so much smoke I
can't see shit right now.

Recoil caught me in the head.

Yeah, he's down there.

Lets get that fucking hog.

I don't see a spot of blood,

which is pretty unusual.

I don't see any blood.

I think we're walking
around in circles now.

No other hog could be that
goddamn lucky, you know.

You know, Molly is a,

is a better chance of finding
it than anything you know.

She's hunted down a couple
of dead hogs already.

So she knows what the game is.

Where's that pig at,
Molly, where's that pig?

I'm sure he hit the
ground last night.

But it wouldn't be the first
time that I've shot one

and they've showed back
up with bullets in 'em.

He's got nine lives,
he's hard to kill.

- Hello world of the
internet and YouTube,

and most likely my
friends and family

who wanted to see what
this project was all about.

Well, second day of sobriety.

Kudos to me on, well, not
really it's only two days.

Fuckin', I'll go two days

when I'm just too
poor to buy a beer.

All my money went to
booze and none of it

went to paying off
the people I owed.

And, it's got to the
point, my phone is shut off

cause I can't afford to pay that

cause the work's been so slow.

My, haven't had
Netflix in forever.

Um, haven't been able
to pay off Medtronics

which I really need to 'cause
they're gonna shut me off

and stop, you know,
sending me supplies.

Fuck, I'm just gonna
sit around here,

fuckin' whack off,

eat beans,

and

yeah, play Minecraft.

You think you got
drinking under control,

and then drinking
gets the best of you.

It just, it'll put its
boot on your throat.

What Doctor Logan said was um,

well, if I continue the way I am

I'll be on dialysis by thirty
and dead by thirty-six.

I really want to quit drinking,

but there's a whole nother
person inside of me.

I fight with him you
know, all the time.

(ringtone plays)
- [Henry] Hello.

♪ Go pick up my lady

- You gonna be at
the house today?

- Yeah.

- OK, I'll be down there, man.

I'll be on down there, man.

- No you don't.

- No, she ain't coming today.

- When he's around her
he's always wanting

to borrow money off people.

I mean, at first he
had a giddy in his step

and he seemed really good

and then all of sudden
when he was maxed out

with borrowing from people

and everybody started
cutting him off,

he just went downhill quick.

I think it is a lot of
stress running up there.

The stress of needing money.

I need money, I need money."

And I think when he's down here

he don't have all that stress.

I try to enforce
that by telling him

he needs to come
and check on me.

He needs to come you know,

I need you down here
helping me in the morning.

And until she came in,
he did, every morning.

He has breakfast
and coffee with me

and usually he'll hang
out down here at the dock

and talk with me and stuff,

and it stays that
way for a while.

- I don't have any idea.

I, I don't know.

And I ask him, is it because
her first name is Mary?

He was like, no, no.

I said, cause I know she don't
hold a candle to my mama.

And I said she don't
care anything about you.

Yes she do, she
just don't show it.

I said, she don't care a
thing about you, nothing.

And she don't mind telling
nobody, you either,

that she don't give
a damn about him.

And she told my sister,
yeah as long as he,

as long as he got some
money I'm gonna take it.

I'm goin' to get it.

He got it, I'm gonna get it.

You know so, I don't know.

- I got some, uh,
some great intel

on that hog last night.

He's been there the
last two nights.

As much as I hate to say it,

I've been outsmarted
by this hog many times.

He tracked me out of the woods

last time I walked out of here.

So he is letting me
know that he knows

that I'm here, and
this is his territory.

To get above that scent, we
needed to bring the tower on up.

I've kind of got to
know this guy, man.

And I'll tell you
what, he has no enemies

in these woods except for me.

You know, and he knows that.

So like, then you kill your
adversary then what do you do?

(low warbling)

- [Voiceover] What
was that noise?

- Alien abduction, I
don't fuckin' know.

That was kind of
strange a noise, man.

It sounded almost mechanical.

- [Isaiah] Oh hell.
- What the fuck is that?

- We don't know, it's a UFO.

- Damn.

You've said you've seen
some weird things, though.

- I have seen some really
weird stuff out in those woods.

That's the weirdest
thing I've ever seen.

- What's this
flashing light here?

- That's a tower
back in the distance.

- That's just a reflection.

- That ain't a
reflection, Charlie.

There's nothing out there
for it to reflect on.

A series of lights just
descending out of the sky.

Hovering around.

- It's like, shoot
at it or something?

I don't know, you might not
want to shoot at it, huh?

- Have a good look
at it with the scope.

- Yeah, I guess so

but I have no idea
what the hell that was.

There's no explanation for it.

Except uh, I
haven't seen the hog

since that thing showed up so,

- Maybe they took it with them?

- That's what I think,

- They make their
own cochon de lait.

- Yeah they, (laughing)
they took my pig.

And I'm wondering
if it might not

been even invisible
to the naked eye.

That the only thing
that picked it up

was the infra-red
beam, you know?

I mean that's real possible.

Come on, come on.

We need hog pictures.

Frogs.

Probably see a raccoon
party here pretty soon.

(majestic music)

- [Woman] We need to have
some kind of plan of action.

We need to put this much
money towards spraying,

put this much money
towards weevils.

We need to get the
state of Texas onboard

so we can make things move.

- Now, we would all like
it to just, go away, OK.

It's not happening.

- From the larvae
to uh, ready to eat,

ready to do their job,
what kind of time period

are we looking at
on the weevils?

- Larvae to adult
stage is six weeks.

So, when they lay eggs
and their offspring

start laying eggs, the numbers
can go up really quickly.

The weevils are,
they're two millimeters

to three and a half millimeters.

I would say that we probably
need a billion and a half.

To actually take
care of this problem,

now I'm just
winging it you know,

that it would probably take
a couple of million dollars.

- That's what I'm
doing is getting the

fuck out of Uncertain.

That's the grand plan,

cause it's just too much.

Your brain explodes
and you're upset

and you're screaming
and hollering

and, yeah, that's why I say I
had to get out of this town.

Sometimes shit feels hopeless
but you gotta remember

to remind yourself,
it's only hopeless

if you're not trying.

You know the theists
will tell you,

you know you're
strong when you, uh,

put all your problems
in the Lord's hand,

or Lord's Hands, and
then in the same breath

they tell you, um, what is it?

The lord acts through you.

So what you're saying is,

just have faith in yourself
and you can get shit done.

You know, no but you need
to ask God for his help.

He says he's not gonna
help you in the Bible,

what the fuck are
you talking about?

I wanna see if I can
get that waffle maker

to go with me as
well, to Austin.

Cause, that fucking
waffle maker's legit.

And it don't take a
lot to make waffles.

You can throw
everything in there.

Frickin' bacon,

you can make brownies
out of a waffle maker.

Oh,

is it gonna work?

I just know it's gonna be epic.

It's not, it's just
gonna be a total change.

That'll keep the insulin cool.

- The day that they integrated,

a lot of the people here,

the black families,
they got upset with him

because he sent us to school.

And he told them, he said,

I'm sending my kids
to school to learn

I'm not caring about
all this other stuff.

They need, they gonna learn.

(dramatic music)

(thunder booms)

(dramatic music)

- [Clerk] What's the name again?

- Zach Warren.

I'm a little
nervous, cause I know

something's gonna go
wrong, I just know it.

But I'm also glad,
just feels good to say

that I'm gettin' out of
here, I'm making a change

that's gonna help
me in the long run.

(wistful music)

All right.

Jesus Christ on a stick.

What's up man?

(grunting)

Yeah, this one?

I forgot which one.

I thought it was
that one down there.

(dog barks)

How's it goin'?

Oh.

Carlos, he's deaf.

And then I have not caught
the other guys' names.

They're all also deaf and they
have a lot of deaf friends.

You know it's kind of
hitting me all of a sudden,

well you're in Austin.

And it's that do or
die kind of thing.

Awesome, if you know my
application online gets mixed in,

it's Zach Warren.

I mean, in case, you know.

- Zach Warren.

- And I just want to say,

I do have like lawn care
experience, a lot of it actually.

- OK.
- [Zack] So,

working in the hot Texas
sun does not bother me.

- All right.

- It's gonna have to be
by the end of the week

or by the start of next
week to have a job.

I spent my $100.

I got beans and I got spam,
and I can make that last.

Insulin supplies' good.

Enough Medtronics to
last me forty days.

- He like that song uh,

♪ My baby can't
stand no cheatin'

♪ My baby can't stand no

- My baby don't
stand no cheatin'.

- My baby, sing it for
me, sing, sing it Henry.

♪ My baby, true little baby

That's it.

- [Voiceover] Sing, let me
hear you sing, sing Henry.

- [Voiceover] Sing Mr. Henry!

- I can't sing it
all the way through.

- [Voiceover] What you say mom?

♪ My baby don't
stand no cheatin' ♪

(laughter)

- A friend baby, F-R-I-E-N-D.

- He'll be a good
man for somebody,

but I'm too young for Mr.
Henry, I'm still in my forties.

- [Voiceover] How old is Henry?

- 74.

- Henry's children run his life.

When you got your children
runnin' your life,

you ain't never
gonna get a woman.

- I'm telling you the truth.

- They run your life.

- They tell him what to do.

- And how they're
better than me.

They go to cry, they cry.

So I ain't got
time to raise kids.

I got a grand baby right
there, a knee baby,

I got my mamma to raise.

(boar squeals and snorts)

- He's back in brute
force strength.

Five P's for hunting:

planning, preparation,

persistence, patience
and shot placement.

And we got all four, but
we didn't get the last one.

So, if you don't get all five,

you just enjoy your walk
in the woods (laughs).

They build those webs
in one night man.

Pretty incredible.

He's smiling at
you, you see that?

(dramatic music)

It doesn't matter what
form of life it is,

everything fights for its life.

So that tells me that

there is some form
of a conscious.

Otherwise what are
they fighting for?

- Yeah, we fished
a lot together.

- Is Frog still living?

- He died, and there was
the guy that works here.

What was his name uh?

He died!

- A black guy.

- Yeah, he died.

- And his sister,
you remember Sissy?

Is she still living?

- Sissy, Sissy.

- They called her Sissy or
something like that, his sister.

- [Preacher] For it is better
if the will of God be so,

that he suffer from well
doing, than from evil doing.

- [Congregation] Amen

- May the Lord have a
blessing on the doer

of His most holy work.

- There was a bench,
I can't find it.

I don't know where
it's at, I'll find it.

Here it is.

Michael Wayne Smith

- Mr. Smith, my name
is Officer Webb,

I'm from the DWI unit.
- [Wayne] Yes ma'am.

- Tonight you were
involved in a two car

major accident at Bert
Kouns and Newcastle.

- OK, is that, I
mean is that a fact

or was there a
third car involved?

Because I'm not sure if somebody
came, knocked me around.

- Hey, was there a
third car or two cars?

Just two cars.
- [Wayne] Two, OK.

- [Officer] Just two cars.
- Allegedly, OK.

- Um, just two cars.

The person, the driver
of the other vehicle

is um, critically injured.

- Yes sir. I mean,
yes ma'am, I'm sorry.

- He's at LSU right
now in treatment.

Um, Louisiana
officers did detect

you have alcohol on
your breath and person.

You were transferred in
here by Officer Skinner.

I'm gonna read this form to you.

This is the Louisiana
Department of Public Safety

and Corrections Office
of state police.

You are under arrest by
a law enforcement officer

who has reasonable
grounds to believe

you are driving a vehicle or
watercraft while intoxicated.

The law now requires
you to submit to.

- [Wayne] I was in
full-blown addiction.

I was living asleep.

All I really experienced
at that time in my life,

was um, you know,
my needs, my wants

and how do I go about
making that happen.

You know, what have I gotta do

to get you to do
what I want to do?

- [Officer] What type
of vehicle were you in?

- A Ford Bronco.

- [Officer] Were you the
driver of that vehicle?

- [Wayne] Yes, ma'am.

- [Officer] Did you
have any passengers?

- [Wayne] You know, when I
made that left hand turn,

I didn't, I didn't see him.

(solemn music)

- If you blow a .10
grams-percent or higher,

then that's you're gonna
be charged with D-W-I.

Make it tight around that
mouthpiece, and blow.

You gotta blow hard.

Blow like you're
blowing up a balloon.

Blow, you're not
blowing hard enough.

Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow,

blow, blow, blow,
blow, blow, stop.

- I searched for
this for two weeks

before I found him
the first time.

I don't know what
else to do except

try to live a better life.

Not to be that man

that ran into that
kid that night.

(solemn music)

Enough people showed me value.

Enough people showed me love.

Enough people showed me

that I wasn't this
horrible human being

who had taken this life.

And I worked with this.

I did, I worked with it.

Until, there came
a night where I

actually slept
through the night,

for the first time in
years and years and years.

(boar munching)

(gun blasts)

- I couldn't afford
to get new supplies

because I was pretty much
without work for a month.

I was tore up, throwing
up, just kidneys hurtin'.

Could barely walk without
having trouble breathing.

Just a whole mess of pain.

A lot of people take, you know,

what they have for granted.

I wonder, you know, am I
gonna be here, in ten years?

Am I gonna afford to?

Every day is a fight, you know.

(blaring club music)

What all does the um, what
do you call it, come in?

Is that shirts?

You all got stay cool stickers.

- Yeah, I have that
sticker right here.

- How much is the sticker?

- That one's three.

- It's free?

- Three Dollars.
- [Zach] Oh, three,

I was about to
say, oh hell, shit.

- [Voiceover] Look, tattoos.
- Wow, that's awesome,

oh my god!

- [Zach] Yep.
- That's awesome.

- [Performer] There's a
unique and individual quality

about each and every
single one of you

and that thing that
makes you who you are

is fucking incredible.

So don't ever let
anyone take it from you,

belittle it in any way or
make you feel bad about it.

Because you fucking rock.

And I believe that and I
hope you believe it too.

(coughs)

- He slept last night good.

- He slept good.

He had me put him a
mattress on the floor.

And he slept on the
floor, in the living room.

- You don't even want to
know, guess how he got up.

- He crawled up,

he caught ahold to the
couch and crawled up.

- She said, you ass is old, Dad.

- OK.

(mechanical motor whirring)

(wind chimes ringing)

(whistling)

- I can hang it there.

There we go.

Well thank you,
everybody, for coming.

- Thank you.

Thank the spirit for
the meat of Mr. Ed.

- The meat's amazing.

- [Wayne] Yeah, you like it?
- Love it, yeah.

- It's pretty good.

When I saw this all
together as an organism

that was, that was a
living, breathing thing,

it was like, wow.

You know, God's here, man.

You know, God is here.

And he's in the trees
and there's a beautiful,

beautiful Native American
prayer, you know,

that says uh, it says

Great Spirit whose voice
I hear in the wind.

I come to you as one
of your many children.

I ask you for strength, not
that I may best my brother

but that I may defeat my
greatest enemy, myself.

You know, and that
sums it up, brother.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

- I see weevils.

We got weevils.

A bunch, a bunch.

My weevils are kicking ass.

Oh, sorry.

Holy shit.

Hey just for your
own uh, reference,

take a look through here.
