Without (2011) - full transcript
On a remote wooded island, a young woman becomes caretaker to an old man in a vegetative state. She has no cell signal, no Internet. Only a year removed from high school and forced to meet the needs of a man who cannot respond, Joslyn vacillates between finding solace in his company and feeling fear and anger towards him. As the monotony of daily routine starts to unravel, boundaries collapse and Joslyn struggles with sexuality, guilt and loss.

‐ [PA Announcer] Please
take a few moments (mumbles)
before disembarking the vessel.
Drivers are asked first to
please return
to your vehicles at this time.
(PA announcer mumbles)
All passengers will (mumbles).
We hope you have a great
day on the (mumbles)
for the Washington State
Ferries.
And we look forward to
seeing you again soon.
(engine purrs)
‐ It's right up here.
Over there, right here.
‐ [Driver] Here?
‐ Yeah.
‐ [Driver] You sure?
‐ Yeah.
‐ So how long did you
say you were in town for?
‐ I guess as long as I need a
job.
But I'm probably going home on
weekends.
So it's not like I'm here for
good.
‐ You know anyone around here?
‐ [Joslyn] Not really.
‐ If you want, I could
show you around a bit.
Can I give you help with all
that?
‐ No.
Thanks so much.
‐ Bye.
‐ [Joslyn] Bye.
(van door clangs)
(wheels rattle)
(voices chattering)
‐ Okay, so don't ever press
this button, all right.
You press this, you shut
the whole system down.
Takes about 15 minutes to
start back up, all right.
Only press it if you want to
turn it off.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ Okay, so you got your channels
here.
You got a menu button here.
We got about 600 channels,
but I just leave it on
the Fishing Channel.
That's 354.
That's the one he likes to
watch.
So we just set him up in front
of it.
‐ Okay, 354.
‐ 354.
‐ Bob, bring Joslyn
to set up the kitchen.
‐ One second!
Okay, sorry, she doesn't
think you know how
to use the toaster.
‐ It's okay.
‐ So anyways, so here's the
volume.
Now I have it on lock.
This machine lets you keep
the volume at one level.
All right, memorize the
number you like best
and adjust every channel.
‐ Okay.
‐ Okay?
So you know, see that?
See, each channel has a
different sound on it.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ All right.
Now he needs it to be at least
34, okay.
HDTV goes to 36, but it sounds
the same.
‐ Right.
‐ See?
They all have a different
sound, so have it on lock.
You got that?
‐ Yup.
‐ [Bob] Okay, good, all right.
‐ Do you have internet here?
‐ [Bob] We don't.
That's one thing we haven't
gotten around to setting up.
So yeah, we're kind of
roughing it out here, but, um,
and you won't get much of
a cell signal or anything,
but if you get bored, do what I
did
and learn how to record
stuff on here, you know.
It's pretty intuitive, so.
‐ Salt, pepper, tea,
bottled water, coffee,
I don't know how old that coffee
is,
but it's probably still
drinkable.
Annie's Shells and
Cheese, do not eat that.
That's Joe's, and he loves it,
and I can't get it on this
island.
But everything else should be
fair game.
Dad likes mashed peaches in the
morning.
I know he may seem like
he's not all there,
but he has his way of
getting what he wants.
Forks, knives.
Knives, do not put them in the
dishwasher,
'cause they will ruin them.
Liquor cabinet, how old are you?
‐ 19.
‐ Okay, all right, well, it's
okay if you have a little bit
of Kahlua if you want, but
do not touch the whisky,
'cause that's Bob's, and he
will notice, I promise you.
‐ Okay.
‐ What else?
Oh, the list, let me get that.
Okay, this is what Bob calls the
Bible.
‐ The Bible.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Okay.
‐ So you're gonna want
to read that and study it.
It's got doctors, numbers, pizza
delivery,
you know, everything about Dad
but also everything about
maintaining this house, okay.
So can you read, get a sense
of...
‐ Is that a E?
‐ No, that's an R.
All my R's and E's look the
same, so.
So just read through that
and make sure you understand
what the rules are and
how everything works.
And then you should be okay,
okay?
‐ Okay.
‐ Kate and Joe, let's go.
Say goodbye to Grandpa.
Come on, let's go.
‐ There you are.
‐ Ooh, you want to say goodbye
to Grandpa.
‐ Say goodbye to Papa, okay?
‐ Give Grandpa a kiss, Katie.
‐ Give him a kiss.
‐ Come on, babies.
‐ [Katie] I don't want to kiss.
‐ Aw, oh you talk to her later.
‐ Okay.
‐ Dad, I'm gonna go.
(lips smack)
Everything's gonna be fine.
Joslyn, have a good time.
Don't let him
push you around.
‐ Okay, Joslyn will take care
of you, all right?
‐ You want to take my purse?
Grab my purse.
‐ Okay.
Um, we might be back in a few
days,
so we'll let you know,
okay.
‐ Great.
‐ All right, buddy, let's go.
‐ [Mom] Thanks.
Let's go, guys.
Come on, let's go.
‐ Hey, Frank, how are you
feeling?
You doing okay?
Um, it's just gonna be you
and me for lunch today,
and I heard you like pears.
You want to have pears for
lunch?
(Frank grunts)
(Frank slurps)
(spoon clatters)
(Frank pants)
(suspenseful music)
Come on.
(suspenseful music)
(phone chimes)
Oh fuck!
(Joslyn sighs)
(Joslyn grunts)
(Joslyn sighs)
(Joslyn grunts)
(Joslyn grunts)
Okay.
(Joslyn sighs)
(Joslyn sighs)
(Joslyn pants)
Oh man.
Two.
(crickets chirp)
Standing out the window
But a lot of old
neighbors thinking I turned
Television's tuned in the
background
And I'm confused by the notion
And amused just by
the small systems of you
(birds chirping)
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same

(engine hums)
‐ Okay, young lady, two of the
medicines
in there are the same, and
there's one that's Netopro.
It's new.
‐ Okay.
‐ And just be aware that it
might give him some dizziness
if he gets up too quickly
from laying down or sitting.
‐ Okay, thanks.
‐ [Pharmacist] Have a nice day.
(engine revs)
‐ And it's a ladyfish, uh‐oh.
I'm getting a hit, too.
I think I'm about to
get a ladyfish myself.
Now when you're fishing for,
when you're out here and
your gettin' ladyfish on,
these guys are fast.
So they like a bait that's
presented really fast,
so you can take it back real
quick, and they'll bust on it.
What'll happen is is
they'll start chasing it,
and they'll try to get it
from the other ladyfish.
So when you're in a big school,
they really like to beat
the other one to the punch.
Now Angela, is there any
certain fish that you're looking
at catching today?
‐ Well, since you asked,
actually I would love
to catch a snook, for the fact
that I've never caught one.
‐ I don't know if I should be
happy
that she wants to catch a snook,
because that's my
specialty, as most of you
at home have seen, or
if I should be upset,
because it's like pathetic,
because it's my own wife,
and she's never caught a snook.
I don't know which one I should
look at.
But anyways, I'm gonna do my
best today.
Hopefully, I'll be able
to get her on some snook,
and anything else?
‐ [Angela] Anything bitin' will
do.
‐ [Fisherman] Anything biting,
all right.
(Joslyn sighs)
(Frank grunts)
(Joslyn sighs)
(Joslyn slurps)
(bowl clatters)
(Joslyn slurps)
(footsteps clack)
‐ Yes.
Come on.
Come on, come on.
(sighs) Fuck you, fuck you.
(solemn music)
(crickets chirping)
‐ [Man] One more set, guys, go!
‐ [Woman] One, two, three, four.
‐ [Man] Good technique,
full range of motion,
make a full range of motion.
You don't want that shortcut,
short one.
Put full range of on motion,
show that flexibility.
Show your strength, let's go,
and‐‐
‐ One, two and three.
‐ Work it.
‐ Four.
‐ Go.
That's it, work it.
(water patters)
‐ Won't have to.
Won't have to do this one.
I can't do everything.
There's a lot of things I can
do that make more, any sense.
It's stupid.
(machine whirs)
No, don't, because I
don't have any service.
I have, like, one bar of
service in the old man's room.
Yeah, but it's way easier
if you just call me
on the landline, right?
Yeah.
It's fine (sighs).
It's quiet.
It's like, um...
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
(blocks clatter)
(engine cranks)
(engine revs)
‐ [Barista] Is 2% okay?
We're out of skim.
‐ Uh, yeah, that's okay.
‐ Here you go, a small chai.
Anything else?
‐ No, thanks.
‐ Okay, $2.25.
‐ [Joslyn] (grunts) Sorry.
‐ It's okay.
‐ Thanks.
‐ Thanks a lot.
‐ Thanks.

‐ You're prettier.
‐ [Joslyn] I like your boobs.
(both laugh)
Never stop looking at, hey!
Never, never stop looking at me.
Oh, whoa, whoa, never.
(television hisses)
(Joslyn crunches)
(man laughs)
‐ [Man] Woo!
Oh good.
‐ [Man] Put that bow
back, put that bow back.
‐ Make that second move.
‐ [Man] Do you know how deep
he's going?
‐ Yeah, he's going.
He's got to be.
What the hell is he doing?
[Man] Here, if you close him
out,
make sure and grab the shell.
‐ What the fuck is this?
(men chattering)
‐ I got him.
‐ Hold on now.
‐ No, got this right here.
‐ [Joslyn] You like this, Frank?
‐ [Man] I got the whole block.
‐ It's kinda gay.
(carrot crunches)
(both laugh)
Yeah.
I don't know.
‐ (sighs) Um, small
chai with lowfat, right?
‐ Yeah, with skim, if you have
it.
‐ Sure.
‐ If you have it.
‐ So what've you been up to
lately?
‐ Nothing.
How 'bout you?
‐ Same old shit.
‐ [Joslyn] Yeah.
‐ Anything else?
‐ Do you have any bagels?
‐ Oh no, sorry, we usually
run out of bagels by like 10.
I have muffins, though.
‐ No, thanks.
Do you know if Jodi Lee
still lives around here?
‐ Yeah, she does.
She owns that gallery
out on Ackerley, yeah.
Do you know here?
I feel so bad for her.
Did you know her daughter?
‐ No.
‐ Did you read about it?
‐ Yeah, a little.
‐ Crazy.
So sad.
Anyway.
(brakes squeal)
‐ Oh okay (laughs), thanks.
‐ [Man] Hey, stranger!
‐ Oh hey.
‐ Oh, so this is where you live.
This is not where I let you off.
‐ Oh yeah, I got a little
confused.
‐ 4050, that's, uh, I didn't
think anybody lived here.
‐ Yeah, there's a family that
lives here,
and I stay with them.
‐ Oh, is that the Weisses?
‐ No, the Dumonts.
‐ Oh, I don't know them.
‐ Oh they live off‐island,
part of the time.
‐ Oh, do they need their
countertops done?
I've done almost every
kitchen on this road.
Maybe I could come have a look.
‐ I don't know.
I'm not the right person to ask.
‐ Well, maybe when they're
around,
I could come over and have a
look.
‐ Sure.
‐ Will they be back later today?
‐ I don't know.
It's 'cause they're really
private.
But maybe I could tell
them that you came by.
What's your last name?
‐ Engel, Darren Engel.
They'll probably know about me.
I'm doing a house over near
town over by the Long farm.
‐ Cool.
‐ Maybe you could stop by
sometime,
and we could have some coffee.
‐ Okay.
‐ All right, so I'll see you
around.
‐ Yeah.
‐ All right.
(fire crackling)
(Joslyn sighs)
(fire popping)
That's you.
And that's your mom and that's
your dad.
And that's you and your brothers
and your sister, and that's your
puppy.
You're just hanging out outside.
And this is your second‐grade
class.
And that's you, and that's
your friend, your best friend,
and you're right next to each
other.
(Frank grunts)
Mm‐hmm, yeah, and you're
next to the teacher,
'cause you're bad.
You, your sister,
all your sister's friend
who were annoying.
Here's your mom and you
and your mom's friend and
your mom's friend's son.
What else, what else, what else?
This is the love of
your life, Megan Almay.
You loved her.
Uh‐oh.
(Frank sighs)
This is creepy.
(Frank sighs)
(Joslyn hisses)
(dishes clatter)
(liquor sloshes)
(bottle clatters)
(solemn music)
(switch clicks)
(Joslyn gasping)
(Joslyn pants)
(Joslyn moans)
(Joslyn pants)
(Frank moans)
(solemn music)
(phone clatters)
(lamp clicks)
(crickets chirp)
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
(Frank snorts)
(Joslyn pants)
(Joslyn grunts)
Darren.
‐ Hey.
‐ [Joslyn] How you doing?
‐ Good.
(birds twittering)
Okay, well.
All right, okay, great.
‐ Okay, and can you come get me?
(television hisses)
(Joslyn sighs)
Don't go like this.
If you go like this,
you're gonna shut down the whole
system.
Take you about 15
minutes to start back up.
Don't go like this, unless you
want
to fuck up the whole system.
You can change the channels like
this.
You can change the channels
like this, but don't go
like this or like this,
because that would mean
you were changing the channels.
We've got about 600 channels,
but you can only watch one,
the Fishing Channel, 354.
But I want to watch movies.
But you can't watch movies.
This is my house.
Oh man, I really want to.
But you can't.
You have to watch the Fishing
Channel, 354, don't forget.
Oh I'll try to remember.
It's really difficult.
(lips buzz)
That's how you put a lock on the
volume.
And that's how it remembers
what kind of volume you want.
But you've got to do
it with your left hand,
because if you do it with your
right hand,
then you can end up
setting the volume for 36,
instead of 34, and you
really don't want this one.
You want this one down here,
because that's what's gonna
sound
really, really good for you.
Okay, got it, okay?
(remote clatters)
How about this?
A button, the first button,
undone.
Or maybe like...
Yup.
Oh but you already saw
me wear these pants.
(clothing rustles)
Better?
A little more fancy?
Maybe?
(Joslyn hums)
(gentle music)
(laughs) No way, right?
No.
(gentle music)
Okay,
this,
we can wear in a lot of
different ways,
maybe like this.
What do you think?
(solemn music)
‐ Um, and I'm not really
thinking
of anything coming along
in terms of a career change
or continuing on playing
football,
but out of the blue, all of a
sudden,
one day, this letter comes in
the mail,
and on the upper left‐hand
corner, it says, "NFL."
So I open it up, and inside
it's an invite to a combine.
Do you know what a combine is?
Okay, it's kind of like
this testing platform
for collegiate athletes.
It allows them to display
their athletic abilities.
And a lot of coaches show up.
It's a really big deal.
And you get tested based
on, like, your 40‐yard time
and your bench press and
like a bunch of other things.
And so they invited me.
And so I'm feeling
pretty high on my horse,
and I'm thinking, you know,
maybe I should do this.
But then I pause for a moment,
and
I put myself in the shoes of,
you know, these NFL players,
and, you know, three years into
it,
these athletes that are
at the top of their game,
the pinnacle of their athletic
ability,
are getting blown‐out
knees and fracturing bones
and losing their ability to
play.
But not only that, but they're
turning into, you know,
persons that just can't do
anything, on or off the field.
They're bedridden, and
they can't walk five feet
without cringing, doubling over
in pain.
That's like, that's for
the rest of their lives.
(Joslyn grunts)
And so I'm thinking about
this, and I'm thinking,
you know, I really don't want
that.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
I mean, yeah, I've been
invited to this thing,
but you know, that's
not what I'm all about.
That's not what makes me me.
And so, I think to myself,
I can do other things.
You know, it's a big fork in the
road,
and I decided, you know,
I can put my collegiate,
my collegiate athleticism in the
past
and my playing career, and
I can be fine with that.
And I can do something
completely different.
So that's basically what I want
to do.
I just want to raise a family,
be able to show my kid how to
play sports,
and you know, run with
him, and yeah, be a dad.
You know, so yeah.
(Darren sighs)
That's kind of,
yeah, that's what I'm happy
doing, so.
(Joslyn grunts)
(bottle clatters)
(lips smack)
(brush scrapes)
(water gurgles)
‐ How about a little nightcap?
For you, Frank, just a little
bit.
(Frank slurps)
(Joslyn slurps)
(Frank grunts)
(Joslyn sighs)
‐ Yes.
(solemn music)
(phone camera clicks)
‐ What the fuck?
(clattering)
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
(Joslyn grunts)
(birds chirp)
(glass clatters)
(crunching)
(solemn music)
‐ Good morning, Sunshine
(laughs).
(birds chirp)
(phone rings)
‐ Hello.
Hi, hi, Bob, how are you?
It's going good.
It's going, yeah, it's going
good.
Wednesday?
I, I did, Bob.
I ran the,
ran the faucets.
I ran all the faucets on
Wednesday.
Oh Thursday.
Friday, okay.
Yeah, I'm looking at it right
now.
On Thursday, I ran the washer
on a low cycle using cold water.
Yup.
Just one time.
Okay, you know, maybe I did it
on Friday.
I wasn't thinking about the day
when I told you that I
did that, but I will,
I will look at the Bible
and I will do what it says.
Oh he's good, he's good.
But he's doing this thing
where...
Hello?
Hello, Bob?
Oh okay, yeah.
All right, I'll see you on
Sunday.
(phone beeps)
(Joslyn grunts)
‐ Just so you know,
we refilled the lorazepam,
and I want to remind you
that this medication is
only taken as needed.
So don't you be taking
any yourself, young lady.
‐ [Joslyn] (laughs) Okay, I
won't.
‐ But if you do, gimme a call.
(pharmacist laughs)
‐ Hey, how's it going?
‐ What can I get you?
‐ Um, I'll have a small
chai with nonfat or 2%.
‐ We only have whole.
‐ Okay.
Whole's fine.
So how are you?
‐ It's $2.25.
‐ Oh.
Okay.
(register dings)
(rain patters)
(solemn music)
(Joslyn sighs)
(dramatic music)
(Frank sighs)
(Joslyn grunts)
You like that, Frank?
Why?
You can breathe.
You want to see a little more?
Don't tell anybody.
(Frank sighs)
(mouse rustling)
Yeah.
I like that,
because I think you're really
pretty.
Yeah.
I think you're really fucking
sexy.
Don't worry.
I won't tell anyone.
I want to watch you.
(Joslyn sighs)
Yeah.
Do you want to watch me?
(Joslyn grunts)
(Joslyn moans)
You are a little slut
(chuckles).
No, you're not a slut.
You're a good girl.
You're a good,
slutty, sexy girl.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
(Joslyn moans)
Cock (moans),
pussy (moans), dick,
cunt, cock, pussy, dick,
cunt, cock, pussy, dick,
cunt, cock, pussy,
dick, cunt, cock, pussy, dick,
cunt, cock, pussy, dick,
cunt (blows raspberry).
(solemn music)
(Joslyn grunts)
(crickets chirp)
(clattering)
‐ [Darren] Joslyn.
(pebble clatters)
Door's busted.
‐ (chuckles) Should I
be worried about that?
‐ I could fix it for ya.
Got any beer?
‐ No, we have Kahlua.
‐ [Darren] I'll take it.
So I looked at your countertops,
laminate.
(knuckles clack)
I thought this house could do
better.
(Darren slurps)
‐ Seems to work fine, to me.
‐ [Darren] So you're
looking after the old man?
Where's he?
‐ He's sleeping.
It's nighttime.
(Darren grunts)
‐ [Darren] I want to see him.
Where is he?
Is he over here?
‐ No.
(Darren laughs)
‐ [Darren] Is he over here?
‐ Nope.
‐ [Darren] Man, that's freaky.
‐ I guess I'm kind of getting
used to it.
‐ [Darren] Can I touch him?
‐ [Joslyn] I don't know, can
you?
‐ [Darren] You got a
pretty lady here, stud.
Not so sure I'd be falling
asleep
if I had such a beautiful
woman next door to me.
‐ [Joslyn] All right, are you
done?
He has to rest, so.
‐ [Darren] Come here.
‐ No, you come here.
I don't want to...
(Joslyn grunts)
Okay, all right, you got to go.
‐ [Darren] Why?
‐ Because I have to go to bed.
Times up, buddy.
‐ I haven't finished my drink.
‐ Well, I'm sure you
can find another drink.
‐ [Darren] That's kind of rude.
You invite me in, and
then you kick me out.
‐ Yeah, well, that's the way it
goes.
‐ [Darren] You're such a fucking
tease.
‐ I'd like you to get the hell
out.
‐ [Darren] Okay, okay,
I'm finishing my drink.
(Joslyn scoffs)
‐ (grunts) You're drinking
whisky?
‐ Yeah, get out.
Get out!
‐ Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Jeez Louise.
When do I get to see you?
‐ I don't know, Darren.
We'll talk later, go!
(Darren sighs)
‐ You're pretty.
‐ Go!
‐ Okay, I'm...
(door slams)
‐ I'm sorry, Frank.
Let's get you to bed.
(Frank sighs)
No.
Nope!
(solemn music)
(engine revs)
‐ [Jodi] So how's your mother?
‐ She's okay.
She had shoulder surgery, last
month,
but she's okay now.
My brother had to driver her
around.
‐ I just had surgery myself.
They put a plastic tube in my
eye,
so I know how recovery time can
be.
So where's the house?
‐ It's on Adobe Road.
It's like eight miles from the
town.
Do you know where that is?
‐ [Jodi] Mm‐hmm.
‐ It's a nice, it's nice.
It's quiet.
‐ [Jodi] And when will you
be going back to school?
‐ I don't know.
I mean, I'm going back to
school.
I just don't know when, so.
I guess,
I'll just have to
wait and see.
‐ Well, I'm sorry I don't
have more to offer you.
I can make some pasta.
‐ [Joslyn] No, I have to
get back to the house.
The family's coming back home,
and I have to clean everything
up.
‐ Yeah, well, that's how you
girls are.
‐ Do you think it would be
okay if I could go upstairs?
‐ Yeah, sure, of course.
It's still a mess up there
(sighs),
like it always was.
You know where it is.
(clock ticks)
(solemn music)
(metal clangs)
(zipper buzzes)
‐ [Joslyn] Thanks.
‐ Joslyn.
You know, it's gonna be
pretty nasty out this week.
Why don't you take a raincoat?
‐ Oh no, it's okay.
‐ No, really.
‐ I have a...
‐ Here, try it on.
Yeah.
You know, I'm really glad you
came by.
I hadn't heard from you,
and I wondered what happened to
you.
Did you know she was feeling
that way?
(Joslyn sobs)
(Joslyn sniffs)
(Joslyn shrieks)
‐ Fucking whore!
You fucking drunk bitch,
you think you're pretty?
Do you think you're pretty?
(horn honks)
Fuck you!
(Joslyn screams)
Fuck you!
‐ What the fuck?
‐ Stay the fuck away from
Darren.
‐ Fuck you!
‐ She crying.
(engine revs)
(tires squeal)
(Joslyn sniffs)
(Joslyn grunts)
‐ Fucking tired of this fucking
thing.

‐ What the fuck?
Hey!
Fucking look at me!
I know you've been fucking with
me.
Do you hear me?
Hey, wake up, asshole!
I know you've been fucking with
me!
Fuck you!
Stop watching me!
(hand slaps)
(Frank grunts)
(solemn music)
(hand slaps)
Stop watching me.
(solemn music)
(Frank sighs)
(door rattles)
‐ Put your stuff down.
‐ (grunts) There we go.
Watch out, sweetie.
All right.
We're here.
‐ See your grandpa.
Want to say hi to Grandpa?
Hi, Grandpa.
Hi, Dad.
All right, you, want
to give Grandpa a kiss?
‐ [Bob] Say hi to Papa, buddy.
‐ How are you?
‐ Hi, Papa.
‐ Hey, Frank.
‐ Did you have a good time?
‐ Come.
‐ Say hi to Papa.
‐ Come.
‐ Hi, Papa.
‐ Okay.
‐ Let's go.
‐ [Bob] Good job, buddy.
Come on, let's do it.
Let's get some treats.
‐ [Joe] Katie, let's get some
treats.
(remote clicks)
(Bob sighs)
(treadmill whirs)
(knocks at door)
‐ Joslyn?
Joslyn.
Joslyn!
Joslyn!
‐ [Joslyn] Hey.
‐ Hey, we need to see you
downstairs.
(Bob sighs)
(Joslyn sniffs)
‐ Joslyn, we need to talk
to you about some things
that went on in this
house while we were away.
It's clear to us that some
disturbing things happened
in our home, and Bob and I are
very upset
to have to talk to you about
this.
Lines were crossed, and
you betrayed our trust.
For example, knives in the
dishwasher.
Why were there knives in the
dishwasher?
‐ I don't know.
‐ No, Joslyn, listen.
Knives have to be hand‐washed.
Otherwise, they dull,
and their handles break.
I mean, this is one of the
things I specifically told you
before I left.
I have it written down in the
Bible.
‐ Did you even read the Bible?
You read the Bible?
‐ [Joslyn] Yeah.
‐ Okay, we made our
expectations very clear,
and it's obvious you have
no respect for our property.
We thought you were a good girl.
I mean, why in the world
would you watch the TV
at a volume of 64?
It's dangerous.
It's reckless.
It's inconsiderate.
‐ [Mom] Okay.
‐ And it could damage the whole
system.
‐ [Mom] You know, I
think Bob's very upset,
but what he's trying to say‐‐
‐ It fucked the whole system.
‐ [Mom] What he's trying to say
is
that you disappointed us.
‐ Absolutely.
‐ [Mom] We came to a clear
understanding,
and you let us down.
(Joslyn sobs)
(Joslyn cries)
‐ [Mom] Bob.
Bob, go get her a tissue.
I need you to kind of pull it
together.
‐ Sorry.
I'm sorry.
I, I, I'm so sorry (sobs).
I miss her.
(Joslyn cries)
I do.
(Joslyn cries)
Ow.
Ow.
I really, really miss her.
(Joslyn sobs)
(engine rumbles)
(solemn music)
(somber guitar music)
That girl's a freak in the bed
like me
Fucked up in the head like me
She don't give a fuck
what you said like me
Likes giving good head like
me, like me
We'll be in the club
popping bottles all night
We'll be making love,
getting juicy all night
She can make it hurt,
make it hurt so nice
'Cause her little pussy's so,
so tight
She got those lips, she got
those eyes
She got those hips, she got
those thighs
She got me hyp, hypnotized
Now get down on your knees
Show T‐Pain what you like
You ain't never seen a dick
like this
You ain't never seen a dick
like this
You ain't never seen a dick
like this
Just like this, just like this
That girl's a freak in the bed
like me
Fucked up in the head like me
She don't give a fuck
what you said like me
Likes giving good head like
me, like me

‐ [PA Announcer] Please
take a few moments (mumbles)
before disembarking the vessel.
Drivers are asked first to
please return
to your vehicles at this time.
(PA announcer mumbles)
All passengers will (mumbles).
We hope you have a great
day on the (mumbles)
for the Washington State
Ferries.
And we look forward to
seeing you again soon.
(engine purrs)
‐ It's right up here.
Over there, right here.
‐ [Driver] Here?
‐ Yeah.
‐ [Driver] You sure?
‐ Yeah.
‐ So how long did you
say you were in town for?
‐ I guess as long as I need a
job.
But I'm probably going home on
weekends.
So it's not like I'm here for
good.
‐ You know anyone around here?
‐ [Joslyn] Not really.
‐ If you want, I could
show you around a bit.
Can I give you help with all
that?
‐ No.
Thanks so much.
‐ Bye.
‐ [Joslyn] Bye.
(van door clangs)
(wheels rattle)
(voices chattering)
‐ Okay, so don't ever press
this button, all right.
You press this, you shut
the whole system down.
Takes about 15 minutes to
start back up, all right.
Only press it if you want to
turn it off.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ Okay, so you got your channels
here.
You got a menu button here.
We got about 600 channels,
but I just leave it on
the Fishing Channel.
That's 354.
That's the one he likes to
watch.
So we just set him up in front
of it.
‐ Okay, 354.
‐ 354.
‐ Bob, bring Joslyn
to set up the kitchen.
‐ One second!
Okay, sorry, she doesn't
think you know how
to use the toaster.
‐ It's okay.
‐ So anyways, so here's the
volume.
Now I have it on lock.
This machine lets you keep
the volume at one level.
All right, memorize the
number you like best
and adjust every channel.
‐ Okay.
‐ Okay?
So you know, see that?
See, each channel has a
different sound on it.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ All right.
Now he needs it to be at least
34, okay.
HDTV goes to 36, but it sounds
the same.
‐ Right.
‐ See?
They all have a different
sound, so have it on lock.
You got that?
‐ Yup.
‐ [Bob] Okay, good, all right.
‐ Do you have internet here?
‐ [Bob] We don't.
That's one thing we haven't
gotten around to setting up.
So yeah, we're kind of
roughing it out here, but, um,
and you won't get much of
a cell signal or anything,
but if you get bored, do what I
did
and learn how to record
stuff on here, you know.
It's pretty intuitive, so.
‐ Salt, pepper, tea,
bottled water, coffee,
I don't know how old that coffee
is,
but it's probably still
drinkable.
Annie's Shells and
Cheese, do not eat that.
That's Joe's, and he loves it,
and I can't get it on this
island.
But everything else should be
fair game.
Dad likes mashed peaches in the
morning.
I know he may seem like
he's not all there,
but he has his way of
getting what he wants.
Forks, knives.
Knives, do not put them in the
dishwasher,
'cause they will ruin them.
Liquor cabinet, how old are you?
‐ 19.
‐ Okay, all right, well, it's
okay if you have a little bit
of Kahlua if you want, but
do not touch the whisky,
'cause that's Bob's, and he
will notice, I promise you.
‐ Okay.
‐ What else?
Oh, the list, let me get that.
Okay, this is what Bob calls the
Bible.
‐ The Bible.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Okay.
‐ So you're gonna want
to read that and study it.
It's got doctors, numbers, pizza
delivery,
you know, everything about Dad
but also everything about
maintaining this house, okay.
So can you read, get a sense
of...
‐ Is that a E?
‐ No, that's an R.
All my R's and E's look the
same, so.
So just read through that
and make sure you understand
what the rules are and
how everything works.
And then you should be okay,
okay?
‐ Okay.
‐ Kate and Joe, let's go.
Say goodbye to Grandpa.
Come on, let's go.
‐ There you are.
‐ Ooh, you want to say goodbye
to Grandpa.
‐ Say goodbye to Papa, okay?
‐ Give Grandpa a kiss, Katie.
‐ Give him a kiss.
‐ Come on, babies.
‐ [Katie] I don't want to kiss.
‐ Aw, oh you talk to her later.
‐ Okay.
‐ Dad, I'm gonna go.
(lips smack)
Everything's gonna be fine.
Joslyn, have a good time.
Don't let him
push you around.
‐ Okay, Joslyn will take care
of you, all right?
‐ You want to take my purse?
Grab my purse.
‐ Okay.
Um, we might be back in a few
days,
so we'll let you know,
okay.
‐ Great.
‐ All right, buddy, let's go.
‐ [Mom] Thanks.
Let's go, guys.
Come on, let's go.
‐ Hey, Frank, how are you
feeling?
You doing okay?
Um, it's just gonna be you
and me for lunch today,
and I heard you like pears.
You want to have pears for
lunch?
(Frank grunts)

Standing out the window
But a lot of old
neighbors thinking I turned

And amused just by

‐ Okay, young lady, two of the
medicines
in there are the same, and
there's one that's Netopro.
It's new.
‐ Okay.
‐ And just be aware that it
might give him some dizziness
if he gets up too quickly
from laying down or sitting.
‐ Okay, thanks.
‐ [Pharmacist] Have a nice day.
(engine revs)
‐ And it's a ladyfish, uh‐oh.
I'm getting a hit, too.
I think I'm about to
get a ladyfish myself.
Now when you're fishing for,
when you're out here and
your gettin' ladyfish on,
these guys are fast.
So they like a bait that's
presented really fast,
so you can take it back real
quick, and they'll bust on it.
What'll happen is is
they'll start chasing it,
and they'll try to get it
from the other ladyfish.
So when you're in a big school,
they really like to beat
the other one to the punch.
Now Angela, is there any
certain fish that you're looking
at catching today?
‐ Well, since you asked,
actually I would love
to catch a snook, for the fact
that I've never caught one.
‐ I don't know if I should be
happy
that she wants to catch a snook,
because that's my
specialty, as most of you
at home have seen, or
if I should be upset,
because it's like pathetic,
because it's my own wife,
and she's never caught a snook.
I don't know which one I should
look at.
But anyways, I'm gonna do my
best today.
Hopefully, I'll be able
to get her on some snook,
and anything else?
‐ [Angela] Anything bitin' will
do.
‐ [Fisherman] Anything biting,
all right.
(Joslyn sighs)
(Frank grunts)
(Joslyn sighs)
(Joslyn slurps)

Come on, come on.

‐ [Man] One more set, guys, go!
‐ [Woman] One, two, three, four.
‐ [Man] Good technique,
full range of motion,
make a full range of motion.
You don't want that shortcut,
short one.
Put full range of on motion,
show that flexibility.
Show your strength, let's go,
and‐‐
‐ One, two and three.
‐ Work it.
‐ Four.
‐ Go.
That's it, work it.
(water patters)
‐ Won't have to.
Won't have to do this one.
I can't do everything.
There's a lot of things I can
do that make more, any sense.
It's stupid.
(machine whirs)
No, don't, because I
don't have any service.
I have, like, one bar of
service in the old man's room.
Yeah, but it's way easier
if you just call me
on the landline, right?
Yeah.
It's fine (sighs).
It's quiet.
It's like, um...
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Okay.

‐ [Barista] Is 2% okay?
We're out of skim.
‐ Uh, yeah, that's okay.

‐ You're prettier.
‐ [Joslyn] I like your boobs.

Never stop looking at, hey!
Never, never stop looking at me.
Oh, whoa, whoa, never.

Oh good.

he's going?
‐ Yeah, he's going.
He's got to be.
What the hell is he doing?
[Man] Here, if you close him
out,
make sure and grab the shell.
‐ What the fuck is this?
(men chattering)
‐ I got him.
‐ Hold on now.
‐ No, got this right here.

Yeah.
I don't know.

chai with lowfat, right?
‐ Yeah, with skim, if you have
it.
‐ Sure.
‐ If you have it.
‐ So what've you been up to
lately?
‐ Nothing.
How 'bout you?
‐ Same old shit.
‐ [Joslyn] Yeah.
‐ Anything else?
‐ Do you have any bagels?
‐ Oh no, sorry, we usually
run out of bagels by like 10.
I have muffins, though.
‐ No, thanks.
Do you know if Jodi Lee
still lives around here?
‐ Yeah, she does.
She owns that gallery
out on Ackerley, yeah.
Do you know here?
I feel so bad for her.
Did you know her daughter?
‐ No.
‐ Did you read about it?
‐ Yeah, a little.
‐ Crazy.
So sad.
Anyway.
(brakes squeal)
‐ Oh okay (laughs), thanks.
‐ [Man] Hey, stranger!
‐ Oh hey.
‐ Oh, so this is where you live.
This is not where I let you off.
‐ Oh yeah, I got a little
confused.
‐ 4050, that's, uh, I didn't
think anybody lived here.
‐ Yeah, there's a family that
lives here,
and I stay with them.
‐ Oh, is that the Weisses?
‐ No, the Dumonts.
‐ Oh, I don't know them.
‐ Oh they live off‐island,
part of the time.
‐ Oh, do they need their
countertops done?
I've done almost every
kitchen on this road.
Maybe I could come have a look.
‐ I don't know.
I'm not the right person to ask.
‐ Well, maybe when they're
around,
I could come over and have a
look.
‐ Sure.
‐ Will they be back later today?
‐ I don't know.
It's 'cause they're really
private.
But maybe I could tell
them that you came by.
What's your last name?
‐ Engel, Darren Engel.
They'll probably know about me.
I'm doing a house over near
town over by the Long farm.
‐ Cool.
‐ Maybe you could stop by
sometime,
and we could have some coffee.
‐ Okay.
‐ All right, so I'll see you
around.
‐ Yeah.
‐ All right.

That's you.
And that's your mom and that's

And that's you and your brothers

You're just hanging out outside.
And this is your second‐grade
class.
And that's you, and that's
your friend, your best friend,
and you're right next to each
other.
(Frank grunts)
Mm‐hmm, yeah, and you're
next to the teacher,
'cause you're bad.
You, your sister,
all your sister's friend
who were annoying.
Here's your mom and you
and your mom's friend and
your mom's friend's son.
What else, what else, what else?
This is the love of

‐ [Joslyn] How you doing?
‐ Good.
(birds twittering)
Okay, well.
All right, okay, great.
‐ Okay, and can you come get me?
(television hisses)
(Joslyn sighs)
Don't go like this.
If you go like this,
you're gonna shut down the whole
system.
Take you about 15
minutes to start back up.
Don't go like this, unless you
want
to fuck up the whole system.
You can change the channels like
this.
You can change the channels
like this, but don't go
like this or like this,
because that would mean
you were changing the channels.
We've got about 600 channels,
but you can only watch one,
the Fishing Channel, 354.
But I want to watch movies.
But you can't watch movies.
This is my house.
Oh man, I really want to.
But you can't.
You have to watch the Fishing
Channel, 354, don't forget.
Oh I'll try to remember.
It's really difficult.
(lips buzz)
That's how you put a lock on the
volume.
And that's how it remembers
what kind of volume you want.
But you've got to do
it with your left hand,
because if you do it with your
right hand,
then you can end up
setting the volume for 36,
instead of 34, and you
really don't want this one.
You want this one down here,
because that's what's gonna
sound
really, really good for you.
Okay, got it, okay?
(remote clatters)
How about this?
A button, the first button,
undone.
Or maybe like...
Yup.
Oh but you already saw
me wear these pants.

Better?
A little more fancy?
Maybe?

(laughs) No way, right?
No.
(gentle music)
Okay,
this,
we can wear in a lot of
different ways,
maybe like this.
What do you think?
(solemn music)
‐ Um, and I'm not really
thinking
of anything coming along
in terms of a career change
or continuing on playing
football,
but out of the blue, all of a
sudden,
one day, this letter comes in
the mail,
and on the upper left‐hand
corner, it says, "NFL."
So I open it up, and inside
it's an invite to a combine.
Do you know what a combine is?
Okay, it's kind of like
this testing platform
for collegiate athletes.
It allows them to display
their athletic abilities.
And a lot of coaches show up.
It's a really big deal.
And you get tested based
on, like, your 40‐yard time
and your bench press and
like a bunch of other things.
And so they invited me.
And so I'm feeling
pretty high on my horse,
and I'm thinking, you know,
maybe I should do this.
But then I pause for a moment,
and
I put myself in the shoes of,
you know, these NFL players,
and, you know, three years into
it,
these athletes that are
at the top of their game,
the pinnacle of their athletic
ability,
are getting blown‐out
knees and fracturing bones
and losing their ability to
play.
But not only that, but they're
turning into, you know,
persons that just can't do
anything, on or off the field.
They're bedridden, and
they can't walk five feet
without cringing, doubling over
in pain.
That's like, that's for
the rest of their lives.
(Joslyn grunts)
And so I'm thinking about
this, and I'm thinking,
you know, I really don't want
that.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
I mean, yeah, I've been
invited to this thing,
but you know, that's
not what I'm all about.
That's not what makes me me.
And so, I think to myself,
I can do other things.
You know, it's a big fork in the
road,
and I decided, you know,
I can put my collegiate,
my collegiate athleticism in the
past
and my playing career, and
I can be fine with that.
And I can do something
completely different.
So that's basically what I want
to do.
I just want to raise a family,
be able to show my kid how to
play sports,
and you know, run with
him, and yeah, be a dad.
You know, so yeah.
(Darren sighs)
That's kind of,
yeah, that's what I'm happy
doing, so.
(Joslyn grunts)
(bottle clatters)
(lips smack)
(brush scrapes)
(water gurgles)
‐ How about a little nightcap?
For you, Frank, just a little
bit.
(Frank slurps)
(Joslyn slurps)
(Frank grunts)
(Joslyn sighs)
‐ Yes.
(solemn music)
(phone camera clicks)
‐ What the fuck?
(clattering)
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
(Joslyn grunts)
(birds chirp)
(glass clatters)
(crunching)
(solemn music)
‐ Good morning, Sunshine
(laughs).
(birds chirp)
(phone rings)
‐ Hello.
Hi, hi, Bob, how are you?
It's going good.
It's going, yeah, it's going
good.
Wednesday?
I, I did, Bob.
I ran the,
ran the faucets.
I ran all the faucets on
Wednesday.
Oh Thursday.
Friday, okay.
Yeah, I'm looking at it right
now.
On Thursday, I ran the washer
on a low cycle using cold water.
Yup.
Just one time.
Okay, you know, maybe I did it
on Friday.
I wasn't thinking about the day
when I told you that I
did that, but I will,
I will look at the Bible
and I will do what it says.
Oh he's good, he's good.
But he's doing this thing
where...
Hello?
Hello, Bob?
Oh okay, yeah.
All right, I'll see you on
Sunday.
(phone beeps)
(Joslyn grunts)
‐ Just so you know,
we refilled the lorazepam,
and I want to remind you
that this medication is
only taken as needed.
So don't you be taking
any yourself, young lady.
‐ [Joslyn] (laughs) Okay, I
won't.
‐ But if you do, gimme a call.
(pharmacist laughs)
‐ Hey, how's it going?
‐ What can I get you?
‐ Um, I'll have a small
chai with nonfat or 2%.
‐ We only have whole.
‐ Okay.
Whole's fine.
So how are you?
‐ It's $2.25.
‐ Oh.
Okay.
(register dings)
(rain patters)
(solemn music)
(Joslyn sighs)
(dramatic music)
(Frank sighs)
(Joslyn grunts)
You like that, Frank?
Why?
You can breathe.
You want to see a little more?
Don't tell anybody.
(Frank sighs)
(mouse rustling)
Yeah.
I like that,
because I think you're really
pretty.
Yeah.
I think you're really fucking
sexy.
Don't worry.
I won't tell anyone.
I want to watch you.
(Joslyn sighs)
Yeah.
Do you want to watch me?
(Joslyn grunts)
(Joslyn moans)
You are a little slut
(chuckles).
No, you're not a slut.
You're a good girl.
You're a good,
slutty, sexy girl.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
(Joslyn moans)
Cock (moans),
pussy (moans), dick,
cunt, cock, pussy, dick,
cunt, cock, pussy, dick,
cunt, cock, pussy,
dick, cunt, cock, pussy, dick,
cunt, cock, pussy, dick,
cunt (blows raspberry).
(solemn music)
(Joslyn grunts)
(crickets chirp)
(clattering)
‐ [Darren] Joslyn.
(pebble clatters)
Door's busted.
‐ (chuckles) Should I
be worried about that?
‐ I could fix it for ya.
Got any beer?
‐ No, we have Kahlua.
‐ [Darren] I'll take it.
So I looked at your countertops,
laminate.
(knuckles clack)
I thought this house could do
better.
(Darren slurps)
‐ Seems to work fine, to me.
‐ [Darren] So you're
looking after the old man?
Where's he?
‐ He's sleeping.
It's nighttime.
(Darren grunts)
‐ [Darren] I want to see him.
Where is he?
Is he over here?
‐ No.
(Darren laughs)
‐ [Darren] Is he over here?
‐ Nope.
‐ [Darren] Man, that's freaky.
‐ I guess I'm kind of getting
used to it.
‐ [Darren] Can I touch him?
‐ [Joslyn] I don't know, can
you?
‐ [Darren] You got a
pretty lady here, stud.
Not so sure I'd be falling
asleep
if I had such a beautiful
woman next door to me.
‐ [Joslyn] All right, are you
done?
He has to rest, so.
‐ [Darren] Come here.
‐ No, you come here.
I don't want to...
(Joslyn grunts)
Okay, all right, you got to go.
‐ [Darren] Why?
‐ Because I have to go to bed.
Times up, buddy.
‐ I haven't finished my drink.
‐ Well, I'm sure you
can find another drink.
‐ [Darren] That's kind of rude.
You invite me in, and
then you kick me out.
‐ Yeah, well, that's the way it
goes.
‐ [Darren] You're such a fucking
tease.
‐ I'd like you to get the hell
out.
‐ [Darren] Okay, okay,
I'm finishing my drink.
(Joslyn scoffs)
‐ (grunts) You're drinking
whisky?
‐ Yeah, get out.
Get out!
‐ Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Jeez Louise.
When do I get to see you?
‐ I don't know, Darren.
We'll talk later, go!
(Darren sighs)
‐ You're pretty.
‐ Go!
‐ Okay, I'm...
(door slams)
‐ I'm sorry, Frank.
Let's get you to bed.
(Frank sighs)
No.
Nope!
(solemn music)
(engine revs)
‐ [Jodi] So how's your mother?
‐ She's okay.
She had shoulder surgery, last
month,
but she's okay now.
My brother had to driver her
around.
‐ I just had surgery myself.
They put a plastic tube in my
eye,
so I know how recovery time can
be.
So where's the house?
‐ It's on Adobe Road.
It's like eight miles from the
town.
Do you know where that is?
‐ [Jodi] Mm‐hmm.
‐ It's a nice, it's nice.
It's quiet.
‐ [Jodi] And when will you
be going back to school?
‐ I don't know.
I mean, I'm going back to
school.
I just don't know when, so.
I guess,
I'll just have to
wait and see.
‐ Well, I'm sorry I don't
have more to offer you.
I can make some pasta.
‐ [Joslyn] No, I have to
get back to the house.
The family's coming back home,
and I have to clean everything
up.
‐ Yeah, well, that's how you
girls are.
‐ Do you think it would be
okay if I could go upstairs?
‐ Yeah, sure, of course.
It's still a mess up there
(sighs),
like it always was.
You know where it is.
(clock ticks)
(solemn music)
(metal clangs)
(zipper buzzes)
‐ [Joslyn] Thanks.
‐ Joslyn.
You know, it's gonna be
pretty nasty out this week.
Why don't you take a raincoat?
‐ Oh no, it's okay.
‐ No, really.
‐ I have a...
‐ Here, try it on.
Yeah.
You know, I'm really glad you
came by.
I hadn't heard from you,
and I wondered what happened to
you.
Did you know she was feeling
that way?
(Joslyn sobs)
(Joslyn sniffs)
(Joslyn shrieks)
‐ Fucking whore!
You fucking drunk bitch,
you think you're pretty?
Do you think you're pretty?
(horn honks)
Fuck you!
(Joslyn screams)
Fuck you!
‐ What the fuck?
‐ Stay the fuck away from
Darren.
‐ Fuck you!
‐ She crying.
(engine revs)
(tires squeal)
(Joslyn sniffs)
(Joslyn grunts)
‐ Fucking tired of this fucking
thing.
(Joslyn grunts)
(solemn music)
Fuck!
(guitar clatters)
(dishwasher hums)
(solemn music)
(phone rings)
(doorknob rattles)
(phone rings)
Did you lock the door?
(phone rings)
Hello.
(phone beeps)
(phone clatters)
(dishes rattle)
(clattering)
(Joslyn pants)
(Joslyn grunts)
(Joslyn pants)
(clattering)
(footsteps clack)
(floor creaks)
(breath hisses)
(Joslyn grunts)
It's all the same
It's all the same
‐ What the fuck?
Hey!
Fucking look at me!
I know you've been fucking with
me.
Do you hear me?
Hey, wake up, asshole!
I know you've been fucking with
me!
Fuck you!
Stop watching me!
(hand slaps)
(Frank grunts)
(solemn music)
(hand slaps)
Stop watching me.
(solemn music)
(Frank sighs)
(door rattles)
‐ Put your stuff down.
‐ (grunts) There we go.
Watch out, sweetie.
All right.
We're here.
‐ See your grandpa.
Want to say hi to Grandpa?
Hi, Grandpa.
Hi, Dad.
All right, you, want
to give Grandpa a kiss?
‐ [Bob] Say hi to Papa, buddy.
‐ How are you?
‐ Hi, Papa.
‐ Hey, Frank.
‐ Did you have a good time?
‐ Come.
‐ Say hi to Papa.
‐ Come.
‐ Hi, Papa.
‐ Okay.
‐ Let's go.
‐ [Bob] Good job, buddy.
Come on, let's do it.
Let's get some treats.
‐ [Joe] Katie, let's get some
treats.
(remote clicks)
(Bob sighs)
(treadmill whirs)
(knocks at door)
‐ Joslyn?
Joslyn.
Joslyn!
Joslyn!
‐ [Joslyn] Hey.
‐ Hey, we need to see you
downstairs.
(Bob sighs)
(Joslyn sniffs)
‐ Joslyn, we need to talk
to you about some things
that went on in this
house while we were away.
It's clear to us that some
disturbing things happened
in our home, and Bob and I are
very upset
to have to talk to you about
this.
Lines were crossed, and
you betrayed our trust.
For example, knives in the
dishwasher.
Why were there knives in the
dishwasher?
‐ I don't know.
‐ No, Joslyn, listen.
Knives have to be hand‐washed.
Otherwise, they dull,
and their handles break.
I mean, this is one of the
things I specifically told you
before I left.
I have it written down in the
Bible.
‐ Did you even read the Bible?
You read the Bible?
‐ [Joslyn] Yeah.
‐ Okay, we made our
expectations very clear,
and it's obvious you have
no respect for our property.
We thought you were a good girl.
I mean, why in the world
would you watch the TV
at a volume of 64?
It's dangerous.
It's reckless.
It's inconsiderate.
‐ [Mom] Okay.
‐ And it could damage the whole
system.
‐ [Mom] You know, I
think Bob's very upset,
but what he's trying to say‐‐
‐ It fucked the whole system.
‐ [Mom] What he's trying to say
is
that you disappointed us.
‐ Absolutely.
‐ [Mom] We came to a clear
understanding,
and you let us down.
(Joslyn sobs)
(Joslyn cries)
‐ [Mom] Bob.
Bob, go get her a tissue.
I need you to kind of pull it
together.
‐ Sorry.
I'm sorry.
I, I, I'm so sorry (sobs).
I miss her.
(Joslyn cries)
I do.
(Joslyn cries)
Ow.
Ow.
I really, really miss her.
(Joslyn sobs)
(engine rumbles)
(solemn music)
(somber guitar music)
