A Broken Life
|
00:00:44 |
Please, turn it off. |
00:00:47 |
- God damn. |
00:00:55 |
Forget about it, |
00:00:59 |
- Not to me, it doesn't. |
00:01:02 |
You've been hitting it |
00:01:06 |
Forget about it, huh? |
00:01:07 |
- What? |
00:01:10 |
Yeah, l guess. |
00:01:15 |
( zips ) |
00:01:20 |
Oh, here. |
00:01:24 |
- So, l'll see you next week? |
00:01:32 |
( men speaking Russian ) |
00:01:36 |
She takes too long. |
00:01:41 |
M-- Melinda-- |
00:01:49 |
- l was-- |
00:01:55 |
Fuck it. |
00:01:57 |
Never mind, forget it. |
00:02:03 |
Go on, Max, it's-- |
00:02:06 |
l'll-- l'll see you next week, okay? |
00:02:08 |
Okay. Okay, sorry. |
00:02:18 |
You got a light? |
00:02:28 |
Were you in the Gulf? |
00:02:31 |
Gulf, Afghanistan, |
00:02:34 |
Vietnam. |
00:02:36 |
My father served in Afghanistan. |
00:02:39 |
He died in '88, |
00:02:41 |
outside Mazar-i Sharif. |
00:02:45 |
Sorry to hear that, son. |
00:02:47 |
There's a war still going on. |
00:02:54 |
( grunts ) |
00:03:19 |
Max: |
00:03:23 |
standing an equal distance |
00:03:26 |
two bundles of hay. |
00:03:29 |
Now the hay is disappearing. |
00:03:32 |
And so are my choices. |
00:03:36 |
Oh, man. l haven't slept in three, |
00:03:40 |
But, finally now |
00:03:42 |
Oh, yes. |
00:03:44 |
Today is lndependence Day-- |
00:03:48 |
Yeah. |
00:03:51 |
Finally, l will choose-- |
00:03:53 |
somewhere, maybe here, |
00:03:55 |
today-- tonight. |
00:03:58 |
You know, there's just |
00:04:00 |
Nothing. l am so full. |
00:04:04 |
Today-- bang! |
00:04:07 |
Ain't no more foolishness. |
00:04:10 |
Then of course, a tombstone, |
00:04:14 |
But l will not go quietly. |
00:04:17 |
l will not go gently |
00:04:19 |
Not me, not like that. |
00:04:23 |
l want to leave a mark |
00:04:24 |
l want people to remember me. |
00:04:26 |
l want her to tell her children |
00:04:28 |
''Max Walker-- he existed.'' |
00:04:31 |
l existed. l existed. |
00:04:37 |
Just a handful of mistakes |
00:04:44 |
l hope you understand. |
00:04:48 |
But if you don't, well then... |
00:04:52 |
too bad for you. |
00:04:54 |
Too bad for you. |
00:06:59 |
( beeps ) |
00:07:02 |
Okay. |
00:07:04 |
( knocks ) |
00:07:11 |
Story of my life. |
00:07:13 |
Anyway... |
00:07:16 |
l've made a decision. |
00:07:19 |
l'm finally in control |
00:07:22 |
No more ''what ifs'' or ''if only's,'' |
00:07:25 |
The measure of a great man, |
00:07:27 |
is in his ability to take control. |
00:07:31 |
To tell the truth |
00:07:36 |
To put the record straight. |
00:07:38 |
To be heard-- |
00:07:40 |
my foolish... |
00:07:45 |
empty existence. |
00:07:47 |
One final day to face my fears. |
00:07:51 |
A defining moment. |
00:07:55 |
Oh. |
00:07:58 |
My last cigarette. |
00:08:00 |
l sure hope l enjoy it. |
00:08:04 |
Who would imagine it being |
00:08:08 |
My name is Max Walker |
00:08:11 |
at the final turning point |
00:08:15 |
Here l am to brighten your day. |
00:08:19 |
- Hey, l have to make a phone call. |
00:08:24 |
Never learned how to speed dial. |
00:08:26 |
Bud! |
00:08:29 |
Yeah, l-- l need you today. |
00:08:34 |
Max: |
00:08:36 |
- l thought you were never gonna come. |
00:08:38 |
Why are you filming me? |
00:08:40 |
- Take the camera. Here. |
00:08:42 |
Come here. |
00:08:45 |
- You gonna tell me what's going on? |
00:08:47 |
Bud: Fine. All right. |
00:08:50 |
You want to be a big director, right? |
00:08:51 |
Want to be a big shot? |
00:08:53 |
This is your big chance, okay? |
00:08:55 |
l want you to film me. |
00:08:58 |
- All right. |
00:09:00 |
Shoot me from low down, man, |
00:09:01 |
Yeah, that's it, that's it. |
00:09:03 |
What do you want me to do? |
00:09:05 |
Not quite, it's the-- |
00:09:07 |
the last day of a life. |
00:09:09 |
The last-- it's the end of a life. |
00:09:11 |
And this is the last-- |
00:09:13 |
What the fuck are you talking about? |
00:09:15 |
lt's the end of a life. |
00:09:16 |
The end of my life. |
00:09:18 |
And l want you to film it. |
00:09:20 |
What the fuck you talking about? |
00:09:23 |
Today, l'm the actor, |
00:09:27 |
l'm the star. |
00:09:28 |
And l want you to film it. |
00:09:30 |
l want you |
00:09:32 |
Max, this isn't-- |
00:09:34 |
- This isn't clever, okay? |
00:09:36 |
- No no. lt's nuts. |
00:09:38 |
What the fuck? |
00:09:39 |
- You're really losing it, know that? |
00:09:41 |
- l'm sorry. |
00:09:44 |
Bud, it's a joke. |
00:09:47 |
Fuck it. |
00:10:01 |
- Please. |
00:10:03 |
Even as a joke, |
00:10:05 |
l swear to God, |
00:10:07 |
l'm gonna get this thing done, |
00:10:09 |
With you or without you. |
00:10:10 |
Come on, |
00:10:14 |
Why do you think l want you |
00:10:16 |
lt's my gift to you. |
00:10:18 |
You-- you'll be famous. |
00:10:21 |
You'll be a somebody, |
00:10:23 |
instead of a nobody, like me. |
00:10:26 |
l mean, you have everything to gain |
00:10:31 |
l-- |
00:10:34 |
l'm begging you as a friend. |
00:10:38 |
Bud, please. |
00:10:46 |
Give me the camera. |
00:10:48 |
Really? |
00:10:51 |
( sniffs ) |
00:10:54 |
Okay. |
00:10:56 |
- Thanks. |
00:10:57 |
- What should we do? |
00:10:59 |
Okay. |
00:11:06 |
Okay. |
00:11:08 |
So, there it is-- |
00:11:11 |
this. |
00:11:14 |
This will be my liberation. |
00:11:16 |
- How long you gonna keep this up? |
00:11:20 |
Come on, Jesus Christ. |
00:11:22 |
Come on. |
00:11:25 |
- You really are crazy, aren't you? |
00:11:36 |
Let's take the stairs. |
00:11:38 |
Come on. |
00:11:40 |
But very cinematic, okay? |
00:11:41 |
You know, maybe you |
00:11:43 |
Um-- oh, l know. Hold on. |
00:11:48 |
l-- l never had a nickname. |
00:11:50 |
You know, like Curly, Fats |
00:11:52 |
or, you know, Slim. |
00:11:55 |
There were-- there were two kinds |
00:11:57 |
There were the-- |
00:11:59 |
and then there were |
00:12:01 |
You know? l guess l just |
00:12:05 |
You know what l mean? |
00:12:10 |
l remember, |
00:12:13 |
this boy-- |
00:12:16 |
No, tell me. |
00:12:18 |
- What? |
00:12:23 |
- Seems you want to talk about it. |
00:12:28 |
Okay, there was this boy. |
00:12:31 |
He was a lot like me. |
00:12:36 |
he was harmless |
00:12:40 |
And, um-- |
00:12:45 |
Fuck! |
00:12:50 |
All right, l remember this day. |
00:12:52 |
They were picking on him |
00:12:54 |
and for some insane reason |
00:12:57 |
And l punched him... |
00:13:00 |
again and again and again |
00:13:02 |
And it seemed like |
00:13:04 |
and saying, |
00:13:06 |
You're just like me.'' |
00:13:10 |
And then they made me |
00:13:12 |
Suddenly l had a girlfriend, |
00:13:14 |
Fuck it. |
00:13:21 |
( crying ) |
00:13:24 |
- Bud: lt's okay, Max. |
00:13:34 |
Okay, eventually, l fell in love. |
00:13:38 |
l fell in love with Carla... |
00:13:41 |
and she got pregnant. |
00:13:44 |
And then she, you know, |
00:13:47 |
disappeared. |
00:13:49 |
- What do you mean? |
00:13:51 |
She disappeared? |
00:13:53 |
One of those days-- |
00:13:55 |
forget it. |
00:13:57 |
- Wait. |
00:14:01 |
She disappeared, okay? |
00:14:03 |
l was-- l was-- l went crazy about it. |
00:14:06 |
ln those days they took girls |
00:14:10 |
Then-- then she returned |
00:14:12 |
but l know and l'm sure |
00:14:16 |
And l was heartbroken. |
00:14:19 |
- Okay? You satisfied? |
00:14:22 |
- Okay. |
00:14:25 |
Hey, you-- you're the one |
00:14:29 |
( sighs ) |
00:14:31 |
Then she didn't talk to me |
00:14:38 |
College. |
00:14:43 |
This guy had a flair for words. |
00:14:45 |
l was clever. |
00:14:50 |
Very romantic, for me. |
00:14:52 |
Very romantic for her, l guess, |
00:15:05 |
We got married. |
00:15:08 |
lt's the only time |
00:15:16 |
Even after all the bullshit |
00:15:20 |
l became a proofreader. |
00:15:24 |
lmagine that. |
00:15:27 |
A fuckin' foot servant of the literati. |
00:15:36 |
Okay. The last 20 years |
00:15:39 |
a blur of disappointment |
00:15:43 |
punctuated only by Carla |
00:15:45 |
Now you'd think that would have |
00:15:48 |
l stayed asleep until now. |
00:15:52 |
But today l am finally awake. |
00:15:55 |
- Now what? |
00:15:57 |
Outside? Okay. |
00:16:01 |
Here you go. Come on. |
00:16:03 |
Turn it off. |
00:16:05 |
Yeah, we're not |
00:16:08 |
- What are you doing? |
00:16:10 |
Okay, good. |
00:16:14 |
- Hey, you want this? |
00:16:17 |
l don't need your car, Max. |
00:16:19 |
What? My car just isn't |
00:16:23 |
No. A Mercedes SUV. |
00:16:26 |
lt's all the bitch left me, |
00:16:28 |
- l said l don't want it. |
00:16:30 |
Hey! Hey, man. Hey, boys. |
00:16:33 |
( hip-hop music playing ) |
00:16:36 |
You see how the world is? |
00:16:37 |
This is not a good-- Max-- |
00:16:39 |
Oh no, man. You're not gonna need that. |
00:16:43 |
You see that car? |
00:16:47 |
lt's for you. |
00:16:50 |
What the fuck's going on, man? |
00:16:52 |
lt's not important. |
00:16:55 |
l just don't need it anymore, okay? |
00:16:58 |
- ( cocks ) |
00:17:00 |
l'm just trying to give you |
00:17:04 |
- What? |
00:17:06 |
- lt's off. |
00:17:08 |
- Turn off the fucking camera now! |
00:17:10 |
lf he doesn't, what are you gonna do? |
00:17:13 |
Listen, son. |
00:17:15 |
l'm just trying to give you a car. |
00:17:18 |
My car. |
00:17:20 |
lf you don't want it, fine. |
00:17:22 |
Fuck yourself. |
00:17:24 |
But l need to tell you something. |
00:17:26 |
You're dealing with a man |
00:17:29 |
who has absolutely |
00:17:34 |
You know what they say? |
00:17:36 |
They say reactions |
00:17:40 |
Kinda makes you wonder, |
00:17:43 |
So here we are. |
00:17:47 |
Huh? Huh?! |
00:17:51 |
Mexican standoff. |
00:17:54 |
Huh? |
00:17:55 |
What's it gonna be? |
00:17:58 |
Look, be cool, man. |
00:18:00 |
Diplomacy. |
00:18:03 |
You can walk away |
00:18:07 |
Or... |
00:18:10 |
my face might be |
00:18:13 |
What do you say? |
00:18:21 |
Do yourself a favor. |
00:18:23 |
Be cool. |
00:18:26 |
Allow me. |
00:18:29 |
Hang on, hang on, hang on. |
00:18:35 |
Oh. Excuse me. |
00:18:38 |
my wife's gloves. |
00:18:39 |
Here, l want to burn these, okay? |
00:18:43 |
( car starts ) |
00:18:46 |
Bye-bye. |
00:18:57 |
Did you get that? |
00:18:59 |
- Did you-- |
00:19:00 |
- l was filming the whole time! |
00:19:04 |
- That was-- |
00:19:07 |
My liberation has begun. |
00:19:17 |
You really gonna drink all those? |
00:19:19 |
( grunts ) |
00:19:23 |
Think you should be relying on |
00:19:26 |
Dutch courage-- |
00:19:28 |
But a very unpleasant term, |
00:19:32 |
Coined by the British |
00:19:34 |
first used by the Royal Navy |
00:19:36 |
with the Dutch East |
00:19:39 |
An obscure fact-- |
00:19:45 |
l suppose what you're really |
00:19:48 |
to finish out my plan. |
00:19:51 |
And you know what? |
00:19:54 |
l have never been brave enough |
00:19:56 |
to do or finish anything |
00:19:58 |
unaided, okay? |
00:20:02 |
lt's just something |
00:20:08 |
Steady my resolve. |
00:20:11 |
Nothing more. |
00:20:13 |
You know, help me finish |
00:20:16 |
Finish something, man, |
00:20:19 |
Okay? |
00:20:20 |
Just think of me as a poet or-- |
00:20:23 |
l'm a rock star. |
00:20:26 |
or Kurt Cobain |
00:20:29 |
under the influence. |
00:20:33 |
So your best work is gonna be... |
00:20:36 |
blowing your own head off? |
00:20:38 |
Eureka. You're beginning |
00:20:42 |
Let's not talk about this |
00:20:44 |
Please. |
00:20:48 |
Just messing around. |
00:20:49 |
l think l may have had |
00:20:53 |
whatever it's called-- |
00:20:56 |
- Dutch-- |
00:20:58 |
Yeah, you have. |
00:21:02 |
What are you doing? |
00:21:05 |
What? |
00:21:07 |
l'm not going in there. |
00:21:08 |
Oh, come on, |
00:21:10 |
This is the grit. |
00:21:13 |
This-- this is art. |
00:21:14 |
Courage! Courage! |
00:21:19 |
l've had enough, Max. |
00:21:20 |
Enough of what? |
00:21:22 |
l am not gonna film you |
00:21:24 |
Why not? |
00:21:26 |
And who did that? |
00:21:28 |
- Jean Cocteau. |
00:21:32 |
Go take a piss. |
00:21:34 |
This is what-- hey, Bud. |
00:21:36 |
to get that scholarship to NYU. |
00:21:38 |
Oh, so you taking a piss |
00:21:42 |
Cocteau's what l need? |
00:21:45 |
l don't need a fucking trick. |
00:21:47 |
Bullshit. |
00:21:52 |
- Yeah, you do. |
00:21:53 |
And you're not it. |
00:21:55 |
Hey, look, it's not about talent. |
00:21:57 |
Buddy, it's not about talent. |
00:21:59 |
And l just remembered, |
00:22:01 |
so you couldn't possibly be |
00:22:05 |
- Fuck you. |
00:22:11 |
You're a fucking coward. |
00:22:14 |
- Stop it. |
00:22:16 |
gonna go through with this. |
00:22:19 |
Gonna kill yourself? |
00:22:21 |
What a fucking joke. |
00:22:23 |
You've wasted |
00:22:25 |
Bud, Bud, Bud, look. |
00:22:28 |
l'm sorry l said that stuff. |
00:22:30 |
- Yeah? |
00:22:32 |
Come on, relax. |
00:22:34 |
- l'm out of here. |
00:22:35 |
Come on! Fuck! |
00:22:38 |
Buddy, l'm sorry l said that stuff. |
00:22:41 |
Why did l say that stuff? |
00:22:43 |
God! |
00:22:59 |
Fuck. |
00:23:10 |
( flushes ) |
00:23:15 |
Shh. |
00:23:18 |
( grunting ) |
00:23:20 |
( water running ) |
00:23:24 |
( gasps ) |
00:23:26 |
lt's a shakedown. |
00:23:29 |
- What? |
00:23:34 |
- You said it was cool, man. |
00:23:36 |
We're like rats in a trap here. |
00:23:37 |
Okay? |
00:23:40 |
Frank, you gotta trust me. |
00:23:42 |
- l'm not gonna get fuckin' arrested. |
00:23:45 |
We gotta rush him. |
00:23:46 |
Okay? |
00:23:49 |
On three, okay? |
00:23:55 |
- One... |
00:23:58 |
...two... |
00:24:00 |
three. |
00:24:02 |
( grunting ) |
00:24:06 |
Hey! Hey! |
00:24:08 |
Max! Max! |
00:24:10 |
Oh! |
00:24:12 |
Jesus Christ. |
00:24:15 |
( mutters ) |
00:24:18 |
What-- what are you doing here? |
00:24:20 |
- You came back, huh? |
00:24:24 |
l want to go. |
00:24:32 |
- You believe that shit, man? |
00:24:34 |
Can't take a piss |
00:24:37 |
without having your |
00:24:38 |
Fuck it, man. That's it. |
00:24:40 |
l'm just gonna, you know, just |
00:24:42 |
cut to the chase. |
00:24:44 |
so even the dumbest fucker |
00:24:46 |
All right, so, |
00:24:49 |
Or what l remember of it. |
00:24:51 |
Martin Luther King, |
00:24:54 |
that's what my childhood was. |
00:24:57 |
Murder and men on the moon. |
00:24:59 |
And then as a teenager |
00:25:01 |
l was addicted to television. |
00:25:03 |
Listen to this. |
00:25:07 |
but l didn't want to write. |
00:25:10 |
l wanted someone else |
00:25:12 |
write it down for me |
00:25:14 |
polished and finished, |
00:25:17 |
That's why l hooked up with Billy. |
00:25:18 |
You know, |
00:25:20 |
who did all that beautiful work. |
00:25:23 |
- My words were just filler. |
00:25:25 |
That was my favorite one. |
00:25:27 |
His work was never as good |
00:25:32 |
- Dumped me? |
00:25:34 |
l'm sorry, man. |
00:25:36 |
Forget it, forget it. |
00:25:40 |
And he was right to dump me. |
00:25:41 |
- l was holding him back. |
00:25:43 |
l learned to take comfort |
00:25:45 |
in the routine. |
00:25:48 |
l figured if you didn't rock the boat, |
00:25:50 |
you could just sail forever. |
00:25:52 |
But slowly, year after year, |
00:25:55 |
until l became |
00:25:58 |
you see before you right now. |
00:26:00 |
And then, bit by bit, |
00:26:03 |
l became unable |
00:26:05 |
the smallest decision. |
00:26:09 |
( laughs ) |
00:26:13 |
Paralysis by analysis. |
00:26:15 |
You getting |
00:26:17 |
- Actually, l only film, Max. |
00:26:18 |
Yeah, but l think you're wrong. |
00:26:20 |
lt's 7:00 a.m. |
00:26:24 |
and we're on the bus! |
00:26:28 |
Boarding the bus! |
00:26:30 |
And what do l see? |
00:26:34 |
What do l see, Buddy? |
00:26:38 |
- l don't know. |
00:26:42 |
People just as exhausted as me. |
00:26:44 |
But sometimes, |
00:26:46 |
l get up and give my seat |
00:26:48 |
to a nice older woman, okay? |
00:26:51 |
And l can tell-- |
00:26:53 |
that she's nice. lt's something, |
00:26:56 |
lt's-- it's somehow in the eyes. |
00:26:59 |
You know? |
00:27:02 |
fuck her! l hold my ground. |
00:27:05 |
l mean, why should |
00:27:07 |
any different than l would |
00:27:10 |
But, anon! |
00:27:12 |
We have arrived-- |
00:27:14 |
lt's the working world. |
00:27:17 |
l proofread |
00:27:19 |
FedExed scribblings |
00:27:23 |
Oh, man. Fuck. |
00:27:26 |
And this is the proof. |
00:27:29 |
A good writer is by definition |
00:27:32 |
He's-- he's the equivalent |
00:27:37 |
Talented, yes, |
00:27:39 |
Fuck no! |
00:27:42 |
A thinker is like |
00:27:45 |
But now |
00:27:46 |
become a motherfucking prophet. |
00:27:48 |
lt's like calling a fucking-- |
00:27:50 |
the-- the savant, |
00:27:52 |
Fuck that! |
00:27:53 |
But day after day, |
00:27:56 |
month after month, |
00:27:59 |
- ( sirens wailing ) |
00:28:02 |
to accept it and keep |
00:28:05 |
Because that's the way |
00:28:06 |
That's the way |
00:28:08 |
Okay? |
00:28:11 |
motherfucker. |
00:28:13 |
You know this word l'm thinking of? |
00:28:16 |
''Homostaseous.'' |
00:28:19 |
l have no idea |
00:28:22 |
And then it's 1 2:00 |
00:28:26 |
But what for? |
00:28:30 |
lt's food good enough |
00:28:36 |
lt's good enough |
00:28:39 |
Salt, sugar and fat. |
00:28:43 |
Fuel to nourish the beast. |
00:28:46 |
you can't fill the void, |
00:28:48 |
lt's good shit |
00:28:51 |
But then, Buddy, |
00:28:53 |
they start to disintegrate you. |
00:28:56 |
You grow old. |
00:29:01 |
l'm getting old, huh? |
00:29:03 |
But then it's 4:30! |
00:29:07 |
But can't leave work until 5:00. |
00:29:09 |
through the next half-hour. |
00:29:12 |
and l leave the office. |
00:29:16 |
l get on the same bus |
00:29:19 |
and l meet the same people |
00:29:21 |
But now they stink, too. |
00:29:24 |
And then you go home. |
00:29:28 |
Hi. Then, oh, you collapse |
00:29:33 |
l start to drink. |
00:29:35 |
Eventually, you don't make love |
00:29:38 |
You feel wasted. |
00:29:41 |
your thoughts are so disconnected. |
00:29:43 |
Your mind is just full of hidden |
00:29:47 |
You know? |
00:29:51 |
Thoughts you can't follow |
00:29:55 |
l-- l criticize |
00:29:58 |
l do. |
00:30:01 |
l'm a fucking stupid asshole. |
00:30:03 |
Right? l'm the insane bastard. |
00:30:07 |
lf you want to keep sadness away, |
00:30:11 |
But l'm the stupid-- |
00:30:13 |
l'm the fucking-- |
00:30:15 |
( grunts ) |
00:30:18 |
l'm a goddamn fool! |
00:30:22 |
Never understood nothing! |
00:30:26 |
Nothing. Everything was-- |
00:30:31 |
was, um... |
00:30:33 |
broken. |
00:30:36 |
- Everything was wasted. |
00:30:37 |
Can we-- can we stop this? |
00:30:42 |
What are you doing, Buddy? |
00:30:43 |
Are you filming me? |
00:30:45 |
Are you an idiot? |
00:30:47 |
- God damn it, you coward, l'm fine. |
00:30:50 |
- What? |
00:30:52 |
Yeah. Something like that. |
00:30:54 |
Well, what kind of movie? |
00:30:57 |
lt's a student film. |
00:30:58 |
( laughs ) |
00:31:00 |
ls this your star? |
00:31:02 |
Yeah, l guess so. |
00:31:06 |
What's your name? |
00:31:09 |
( chuckles ) |
00:31:11 |
Come on, look, fellas, look. |
00:31:14 |
on my turf, |
00:31:16 |
the least you can do |
00:31:19 |
l'm talking to you, soldier! |
00:31:22 |
- Okay, let's go. |
00:31:24 |
You're kidding me, right? |
00:31:26 |
- You're kidding me. |
00:31:28 |
You look like a man |
00:31:32 |
Am l right? |
00:31:34 |
l've cheated |
00:31:37 |
God, l wonder if l'm ever gonna die. |
00:31:39 |
But you, |
00:31:41 |
oh yeah, you're |
00:31:45 |
Look, why don't you |
00:31:47 |
and go on dancing or bother |
00:31:50 |
- ( laughing ) |
00:31:52 |
Would-- would you |
00:31:54 |
- ( sighs ) |
00:31:56 |
l'll bet you |
00:31:58 |
that you could sign right now |
00:32:01 |
to live forever, |
00:32:03 |
you'd put your name on it right now, |
00:32:08 |
But there isn't, is there? |
00:32:11 |
Anyway... |
00:32:15 |
you're a solider, aren't you? |
00:32:18 |
You're a solider. |
00:32:20 |
- Yeah, it's in your eyes. |
00:32:22 |
Yeah yeah, l can-- |
00:32:24 |
l can still see it |
00:32:28 |
the sand mixed with the blood, |
00:32:31 |
mixed with the burning oil |
00:32:33 |
and all of the soldiers |
00:32:36 |
And then they're gone. |
00:32:39 |
are the palm trees |
00:32:42 |
No one to turn to, |
00:32:45 |
no one to save them. |
00:32:48 |
Because the end, brother... |
00:32:51 |
- it's the ultimate outcome. |
00:32:53 |
Your word choice is awful. |
00:32:55 |
- The ultimate horror, right? |
00:32:58 |
ls it? |
00:32:59 |
Or is it the ultimate truth? |
00:33:05 |
Hmm? |
00:33:07 |
A man who has a gun |
00:33:12 |
You have a gun on you, don't you? |
00:33:14 |
( laughs ) |
00:33:17 |
Mm-hmm, oh yeah, yeah. |
00:33:18 |
l can-- l can smell it. |
00:33:21 |
- He doesn't. |
00:33:23 |
- He has a gun on him, don't he? |
00:33:25 |
- He has a gun on him! |
00:33:27 |
Put the fucking gun down, Max. |
00:33:30 |
Oh, see? See that? |
00:33:31 |
See how exciting that is? |
00:33:34 |
- Huh? |
00:33:36 |
How many rounds |
00:33:39 |
- l got two. One for you and one for me. |
00:33:41 |
lf you don't walk away right now, |
00:33:44 |
and your days |
00:33:46 |
God damn it, get out of here. |
00:33:48 |
( laughing ) |
00:33:50 |
Just listen, soldier, listen. |
00:33:53 |
- Oh, we're just playing? |
00:33:55 |
Oh, is that what this is? |
00:33:59 |
You and l are casualties of the war. |
00:34:03 |
The war will never end. |
00:34:05 |
Veteran: |
00:34:09 |
Ghosts. |
00:34:13 |
All of us. |
00:34:16 |
Go ahead, put it right there. |
00:34:17 |
- Bud: Let's go. |
00:34:19 |
Put it right there. |
00:34:21 |
- Go ahead, put that gun right there. |
00:34:23 |
That's all right, forget it. |
00:34:28 |
Game over. |
00:34:31 |
- Yeah. |
00:34:34 |
Fuck off. |
00:34:37 |
- lt's game over. |
00:34:39 |
You win. |
00:34:41 |
A man with a gun will eventually use it. |
00:34:46 |
Go fuck yourself, you bastard. |
00:34:54 |
A man with a gun |
00:34:56 |
Max: |
00:34:58 |
( laughing ) |
00:35:21 |
That was the last |
00:35:26 |
And l can't say |
00:35:29 |
Anyway, you ever noticed the people |
00:35:32 |
They have a look of-- |
00:35:35 |
you rude people. |
00:35:38 |
You notice that people at a bus stop? |
00:35:41 |
lt is the definition |
00:35:43 |
And then sometimes |
00:35:45 |
you can see them thinking, |
00:35:47 |
''That could've been me. |
00:35:49 |
Only-- if only.'' |
00:35:51 |
Pretty good, huh? |
00:35:53 |
So what do you think? |
00:35:57 |
This-- what do you think? |
00:35:59 |
This could be a way. Huh? |
00:36:02 |
You read about it every day. |
00:36:04 |
Huh, Bud? |
00:36:07 |
And if you don't die from the shock, |
00:36:11 |
So what do you say? |
00:36:13 |
- Huh? |
00:36:15 |
- No? |
00:36:17 |
What's wrong with it? |
00:36:20 |
You're right. There's a thousand |
00:36:25 |
- What? |
00:36:28 |
- Oh, please, leave me alone. |
00:36:31 |
l'm a free man. |
00:36:33 |
l'll die the-- l'll die |
00:36:48 |
Hey, Bud, if anyone's |
00:36:52 |
it's gonna be me. |
00:36:53 |
Okay? Come on. |
00:37:02 |
Buddy, let's go, huh? |
00:37:07 |
- lt's hot in here. |
00:37:09 |
Whoa. |
00:37:12 |
l hate subways. |
00:37:17 |
Look at them. |
00:37:19 |
Max: |
00:37:21 |
blank and desperate, |
00:37:25 |
Hey, what do you think |
00:37:27 |
- What do they care about? |
00:37:29 |
Shit, man. |
00:37:31 |
Contributions. |
00:37:36 |
Premiums. |
00:37:37 |
Taxes. |
00:37:44 |
And rape insurance. |
00:37:48 |
Why not? Looks like this chick |
00:37:51 |
Now dig this. |
00:37:53 |
Women can get-- |
00:37:55 |
from being raped. |
00:37:57 |
''l was raped |
00:37:59 |
''Don't worry, honey. |
00:38:00 |
A real money-maker-- |
00:38:02 |
''Don't worry, you're beautiful. |
00:38:06 |
( laughing ) |
00:38:08 |
Then again, |
00:38:10 |
or both, |
00:38:11 |
you'll get an even better deal. |
00:38:14 |
America, right? |
00:38:15 |
Pay less, get more. |
00:38:17 |
Welcome |
00:38:19 |
to mankind. |
00:38:21 |
- Bud, don't you agree? |
00:38:23 |
That's one thing l'm not. |
00:38:25 |
l'm not full of shit, Bud, at all. |
00:38:27 |
My thinking is crystalline, |
00:38:31 |
People disgust me. |
00:38:33 |
l'm leaving the world |
00:38:36 |
and a joyful mind. |
00:38:37 |
l'm gonna get the fuck |
00:38:40 |
So, shall we? Come on, |
00:38:43 |
- Let's go. |
00:38:48 |
Last subway ride. |
00:38:55 |
Fuck. |
00:38:58 |
My freedom day. |
00:39:01 |
l'll end all this shit |
00:39:03 |
by a fucking cripple. |
00:39:06 |
- Deaf too! Hey! |
00:39:12 |
- Hey! |
00:39:14 |
Why you gotta be so aggressive? |
00:39:16 |
- Come on. |
00:39:19 |
Huh?! |
00:39:21 |
You know what? l think it's more |
00:39:24 |
What, am l supposed to love them? |
00:39:26 |
Do you think they love me? |
00:39:28 |
Have they been nice to me? |
00:39:29 |
No, they haven't been. |
00:39:33 |
Man is not nice! |
00:39:35 |
People are not nice! |
00:39:38 |
- Okay? |
00:39:39 |
Come on. |
00:39:42 |
( car alarm blaring ) |
00:39:44 |
Oh, God. |
00:39:48 |
Hey hey hey. |
00:39:55 |
Max: |
00:40:01 |
- Oh, shit. |
00:40:06 |

00:40:08 |

00:40:11 |

00:40:23 |
Okay. l'm sorry. |
00:40:26 |
Bud! Bud, we gotta go! |
00:40:29 |
- Okay. |
00:40:32 |
Let's go! |
00:40:41 |
A new man is born! |
00:40:43 |

00:40:45 |
Whoo-hoo! |
00:40:47 |

00:40:50 |
l finally feel alive. |
00:40:53 |
And you know, |
00:40:56 |

00:40:58 |

00:40:59 |
You can be nice, |
00:41:02 |
- On occasion. |
00:41:04 |

00:41:07 |
Although, l do feel reborn. |
00:41:09 |
But you know what, Buddy? |
00:41:11 |

00:41:13 |
That was one of the bravest |
00:41:15 |
You are a great guy. |
00:41:17 |
Yeah, but am l a nice guy? |
00:41:19 |
See, l just did what l had to do. |
00:41:21 |
Anyone would have |

You're afraid l won't be nice to you. |

Well, what do you know? |
00:42:51 |
Hey, maybe you're right. |
00:42:53 |
- Huh? |
00:42:55 |
l'm nice! l'm a nice guy. |
00:42:57 |
l'm Max the nice! |
00:42:59 |
Although, to be fair, |
00:43:02 |
with an older woman, |
00:43:04 |
She doesn't automatically |
00:43:06 |
lt's like a light |
00:43:10 |
Older women |
00:43:14 |
just might in fact be genuine. |
00:43:18 |
Bud, you ever been |
00:43:20 |
- Bud, l'm talking to you! |
00:43:22 |
No, well, unless |
00:43:25 |
25? Fuck you, 25. |
00:43:28 |
You know what, Buddy, |
00:43:30 |
l'm gonna make a prediction. |
00:43:33 |
l predict that today |
00:43:35 |
you will grow up and be a man. |
00:43:37 |
And you will leave |
00:43:40 |
- That's my prediction. |
00:43:41 |
the only thing l'm gonna |
00:43:44 |
Unless you've changed |
00:43:48 |
Hey, Bud... |
00:43:51 |
l was gonna say-- |
00:43:53 |
listen to me. |
00:43:55 |
l was gonna tell you |
00:43:58 |
But you're not. |
00:44:00 |
You're a sweet man. |
00:44:04 |
You're my-- |
00:44:09 |
You're my only friend. |
00:44:15 |
- Hey. |
00:44:16 |
Why don't we take a break? |
00:44:19 |
l'm getting kind of tired. |
00:44:21 |
Okay, sure sure sure. |
00:44:26 |
So, how we doing? |
00:44:28 |
- What do you mean? |
00:44:32 |
- ( laughs ) Like it? |
00:44:35 |
Can't say l like it. |
00:44:37 |
But it's something. |
00:44:40 |
lt's definitely something. |
00:44:41 |
l'll take something. |
00:44:51 |
( voice cracking ) |
00:44:55 |
Look at these buildings. |
00:44:59 |
So much beauty, huh? |
00:45:02 |
Yeah. |
00:45:05 |
Concern your life with-- |
00:45:10 |
Focus on beauty and-- |
00:45:12 |
You'll be a happy man. |
00:45:15 |
- Who doesn't? |
00:45:17 |
Then you gotta be true-- |
00:45:19 |
you gotta be true to your heart then. |
00:45:23 |
But it's-- |
00:45:25 |
lt's a very hard thing to do, man. |
00:45:27 |
Bud. lt's hard. |
00:45:30 |
There's so much fucking noise. |
00:45:33 |
- l know. |
00:45:35 |
- Soul-destroying noise. |
00:45:41 |
There's so much noise. |
00:45:43 |
Just focus on the beauty, |
00:45:45 |
- l will. |
00:45:47 |
Let's go. |
00:45:52 |
l think women can |
00:45:55 |
For instance, myself, if you |
00:45:57 |
- Loser. |
00:45:59 |
Defeated, and they know. |
00:46:01 |
You know? |
00:46:07 |
To be perfectly honest, |
00:46:09 |
last couple of years, |
00:46:11 |
l've been reduced |
00:46:12 |
l thought that would be simpler. |
00:46:16 |
l was wrong. |
00:46:23 |
Psst. |
00:46:25 |
What? |
00:46:28 |
The waitress. |
00:46:31 |
She's all right. |
00:46:32 |
You want me |
00:46:35 |
- Leave her alone. |
00:46:37 |
- Leave her alone. |
00:46:40 |
Are you fucking kidding me, Max? |
00:46:41 |
Hey, look, dude. You got me |
00:46:43 |
Probably yourself. |
00:46:45 |
- Okay? |
00:46:47 |
- Yeah yeah. |
00:46:50 |
Watch. Hey, look. |
00:46:53 |
l got some moves left. |
00:46:55 |
Watch this. |
00:46:56 |
- No, you're not. |
00:47:00 |
- Watch and learn. |
00:47:05 |
- All right. |
00:47:06 |
- How are you? |
00:47:08 |
- My name is... |
00:47:22 |
Um, l think that means no. |
00:47:26 |
That means no. |
00:47:28 |
- That went well. |
00:47:30 |
- Brad Pitt. Not even funny, huh? |
00:47:33 |
Max: |
00:47:36 |
( siren wailing ) |
00:47:39 |
Hey, being hit by |
00:47:42 |
Now that's an idea. |
00:47:45 |
Of course, some idiot like me |
00:47:47 |
( laughs ) |
00:47:49 |
than blowing my brains out. |
00:47:51 |
What do you think? Oh! |
00:47:54 |
l remember years ago |
00:47:56 |
Hang on. Somewhere in New Jersey, |
00:48:00 |
anyway, he had a heart attack, right? |
00:48:03 |
And it was snowing, |
00:48:06 |
Right? And the ambulance |
00:48:08 |
it skidded on the ice |
00:48:11 |
( laughing ) |
00:48:13 |
That'd be a good one, right? |
00:48:17 |
Hard to set up though, huh? |
00:48:19 |
- Yeah. |
00:48:22 |
A monument to God. |
00:48:25 |
Quite something, huh? |
00:48:27 |
l'd like a monument too. |
00:48:29 |
Something for people |
00:48:30 |
And maybe you'll |
00:48:32 |
Huh? l am the way, |
00:48:35 |
How grand. |
00:48:37 |
You know what? |
00:48:39 |
We haven't. l still don't know |
00:48:42 |
Do you? |
00:48:44 |
Don't be shy. |
00:48:49 |
- So what is it? |
00:48:52 |
- l do believe in God. |
00:48:54 |
lt's good to believe in something. |
00:48:56 |
Even if it's fucking bullshit! |
00:49:00 |
Priests. |
00:49:02 |
( chuckles ) |
00:49:04 |
Little, sad men. |
00:49:06 |
Or at least they will be. |
00:49:08 |
lmagine devoting your entire life |
00:49:11 |
illusory, not there. |
00:49:13 |
What a fucking waste. |
00:49:15 |
l feel sorry for all believers. |
00:49:17 |
Bunch of mentally |
00:49:20 |
Our Father who art in Heaven, |
00:49:22 |
hallowed be some dough. |
00:49:25 |
- Shut up. |
00:49:26 |
- Shut up. |
00:49:28 |
Just shut up! |
00:49:33 |
Don't put the fucking camera down! |
00:49:35 |
Don't put that camera down! |
00:49:37 |
This is my day, remember? |
00:49:38 |
And if l want to mock your |
00:49:41 |
l figure l deserve it. |
00:49:44 |
where is your God |
00:49:46 |
- when you really need him? |
00:49:48 |
this whole broken-hearted |
00:49:50 |
- Yeah? |
00:49:52 |
Hang on. |
00:49:54 |
- Fuck off! |
00:49:56 |
- Say it again! |
00:49:57 |
Huh? |
00:49:59 |
The way l see it, |
00:50:02 |
You're shitting me. |
00:50:04 |
Listen! |
00:50:08 |
- What? |
00:50:11 |
Just 'cause you |
00:50:16 |
does not mean it does not exist. |
00:50:20 |
So much venom |
00:50:21 |
lt's a shame you weren't |
00:50:23 |
You could have butchered young children |
00:50:27 |
And l hope you still believe |
00:50:30 |
And if you don't want |
00:50:32 |
Forget it. |
00:50:36 |
( church bell tolling ) |
00:50:47 |
Time to set a few things straight. |
00:50:50 |
Where are we going? |
00:50:53 |
l'm going to visit my boss. |
00:50:55 |
Okay? Cocktails before dinner, |
00:51:00 |
This really necessary? |
00:51:01 |
Well, the way l figure it, |
00:51:04 |
more than any other |
00:51:06 |
this bastard ruined my life. |
00:51:10 |
Why didn't you just quit, Max? |
00:51:11 |
Let him win? Never. |
00:51:13 |
Besides, Bud, |
00:51:17 |
Could never get away from him. |
00:51:20 |
Eight hours a day became 24. |
00:51:24 |
Even on Sundays, |
00:51:27 |
Then on Monday l would go to work |
00:51:30 |
And... |
00:51:32 |
wait to be humiliated. |
00:51:34 |
Sometimes brutal, |
00:51:36 |
but not a day has passed |
00:51:39 |
in the last 10 years |
00:51:42 |
he didn't put me down. |
00:51:45 |
Not just to my face, |
00:51:46 |
but in front of everyone |
00:51:52 |
But today, it'll be different. |
00:51:56 |
lt'll all be different. |
00:51:59 |
- Hey, did you get that? |
00:52:01 |
l got it all. |
00:52:03 |
- Yeah. |
00:52:06 |
Okay, um, just wait outside, |
00:52:09 |
Why? Why? |
00:52:11 |
Please, Bud, come on. |
00:52:13 |
Look... |
00:52:15 |
this is between |
00:52:21 |

00:52:25 |
lt's gonna be okay, Buddy. |
00:52:40 |
( doorbell buzzing ) |
00:52:49 |
Come on, let's go. |
00:52:51 |
- What are you doing? |
00:52:53 |
- Take it easy! Jesus Christ, man. |
00:52:55 |
Put that-- put that away! |
00:52:57 |
- Just sit down! |
00:53:00 |
- Are you fucking crazy? |
00:53:02 |
- You got a fucking gun! |
00:53:04 |
Just-- just do me a favor, |
00:53:06 |
l'll forget you ever were here, |
00:53:08 |
No. |
00:53:11 |
Fuck, l haven't see you all week. |
00:53:13 |
- l thought you quit. |
00:53:15 |
Oh, l bet you did. |
00:53:18 |
You're not getting rid of me |
00:53:20 |
No, l came here to get |
00:53:23 |
you dirty bastard. |
00:53:24 |
From-- from-- what-- what-- |
00:53:26 |
what are you gonna do? |
00:53:30 |
- Max. |
00:53:32 |
lf you need a raise, you know, |
00:53:36 |
A raise? See, that's where |
00:53:39 |
- What? |
00:53:41 |
- l want to know why. |
00:53:43 |
l want to know from you, |
00:53:45 |
l want to know why. |
00:53:47 |
Why what? |
00:53:49 |
Why have you been |
00:53:51 |
Why l was never given |
00:53:53 |
- Why? |
00:53:56 |
- Oh, bullshit. |
00:53:58 |
- Bullshit. |
00:54:02 |
l can't believe |
00:54:04 |
- you're lying to me. |
00:54:06 |
Now you're gonna |
00:54:08 |
- Look in my eyes. |
00:54:10 |
- l get the point. |
00:54:12 |
You have a firm grasp |
00:54:13 |
Look, if l-- if l tell you the truth, |
00:54:15 |
it's not going to be |
00:54:16 |
Just drop your bullshit |
00:54:18 |
You're a really smart guy, okay? |
00:54:21 |
You get in your own way, okay? |
00:54:24 |
You want to know why? |
00:54:25 |
Want to know the truth why you didn't |
00:54:27 |
Wait. |
00:54:30 |
You're shitting me. |
00:54:35 |
Because you didn't like me? |
00:54:37 |
From the moment l met you. |
00:54:39 |
l look at your face, it pisses me off. |
00:54:41 |
- l need a drink, man. |
00:54:43 |
- You didn't like me? |
00:54:46 |
lt's not your fault. |
00:54:51 |
- Just getting a-- |
00:54:57 |
Here. |
00:54:58 |
- Not me. |
00:55:00 |
No. You got any blow? |
00:55:02 |
No, l don't have blow. |
00:55:04 |
l have a little, okay? |
00:55:07 |
- A cokehead. A cokehead. |
00:55:09 |
- On top of everything else, a cokehead. |
00:55:12 |
( laughing ) |
00:55:13 |
Max, maybe you're a nice guy |
00:55:16 |
- where no one can see. Okay? |
00:55:19 |
You know what, |
00:55:20 |
l didn't give a fuck about you |
00:55:22 |
That's the only true thing |
00:55:25 |
My back hurts. |
00:55:33 |
( laughs ) |
00:55:35 |
- l don't trust you. |
00:55:37 |
l mean, would you, |
00:55:39 |
if you were in my shoes? |
00:55:42 |
l got a boss too. Okay, Max? |
00:55:44 |
l got a boss too. |
00:55:46 |
- more than they don't like you. |
00:55:48 |
- Then why didn't you quit? |
00:55:50 |
That's why l didn't fire you! |
00:55:52 |
lf you don't know |
00:55:54 |
don't fucking blame me, all right? |
00:55:56 |
lt's not my fucking fault |
00:55:58 |
Point the gun at your own |
00:56:02 |
You're so fucking smug. |
00:56:04 |
l mean, look at you. |
00:56:06 |
- What? |
00:56:09 |
l mean, you built it |
00:56:11 |
What are you, |
00:56:13 |
Get down on your knees |
00:56:18 |
- What? |
00:56:20 |
- Come on, say you're sorry. |
00:56:22 |
- Say you're sorry. |
00:56:24 |
( gunshot ) |
00:56:25 |
Fuck! |
00:56:27 |
Max! |
00:56:29 |
- Jesus. What happened? |
00:56:31 |
- Come on, we gotta go. |
00:56:34 |
- We gotta go. We have to go. |
00:56:36 |
No no no. |
00:56:39 |
( car horn blaring ) |
00:56:42 |
( dispatch radio chattering ) |
00:56:44 |
- So, how's your night so far? |
00:56:56 |
Are you gonna tell me |
00:56:58 |
- Nothing happened. |
00:57:01 |
Nothing happened. |
00:57:04 |
( groans ) |
00:57:07 |
Tell me. |
00:57:09 |
- Huh? |
00:57:14 |
lt was an accident. |
00:57:22 |
- We have to call an ambulance. |
00:57:24 |
- Sir, we have to pull over. |
00:57:27 |
- We have to fucking pull over. |
00:57:30 |
You understand? |
00:57:32 |
An ambulance isn't necessary. |
00:57:35 |
Max: |
00:57:38 |
He's dead? |
00:57:47 |
( panting ) |
00:57:49 |
( whimpering ) |
00:58:12 |
You should go home. |
00:58:15 |
l'm sorry l got you mixed up |
00:58:18 |
Kid, just go home, okay? |
00:58:20 |
Have you changed your mind? |
00:58:22 |
Aw, come on. |
00:58:24 |

00:58:28 |

00:58:32 |
Oh, come on, Bud. |
00:58:37 |

00:58:49 |
There's no point. |
00:58:51 |

00:58:53 |
We should go. |
00:58:59 |
- You gonna shoot her too? |
00:59:02 |
You gonna shoot her too? |
00:59:04 |
Bud. |
00:59:07 |
The only person |
00:59:08 |

00:59:11 |

00:59:14 |
Come on. lt'll be fun. |
00:59:18 |
Max: Rarely have you met |
00:59:20 |
( Max chuckles ) |
00:59:23 |
- Okay. See you tomorrow. |
00:59:27 |
( laughs ) |
00:59:30 |
lt's me again. |
00:59:32 |
Back again to brighten your day. |
00:59:37 |
Shaken up a little bit there, Carla? |
00:59:42 |
- What the hell you want, Max? |
00:59:44 |
- This isn't a family reunion. |
00:59:47 |
Yeah, l did. |
00:59:49 |
Nice to see you too. |
00:59:51 |
Fine. |
00:59:53 |
- How's your job? |
00:59:55 |
- Good for you. |
00:59:58 |
Another brilliant achievement. |
01:00:01 |
l got a dinner engagement. |
01:00:04 |
Carla, you've never even |
01:00:06 |
You don't understand me. |
01:00:08 |
You don't understand what l'm |
01:00:10 |
Good thing we got |
01:00:12 |
- What? |
01:00:14 |

01:00:18 |
So you two |
01:00:21 |
What the fuck you talking about? |
01:00:23 |
Him? |
01:00:25 |
He-- he-- he's a young filmmaker. |
01:00:27 |
He's shooting my last day on earth. |
01:00:31 |
What the fuck's going on here? |
01:00:34 |
Do you know her? |
01:00:36 |
Do you know each other? |
01:00:38 |
- Carla: We've met. |
01:00:42 |
Carla: |
01:00:43 |
Oh, yeah, suicide. |
01:00:45 |
- Yeah, suicide. |
01:00:48 |
Excuse me? |
01:00:49 |
- You're pathetic. |
01:00:51 |
What? What? You want me |
01:00:54 |
What do you want from me, Max? |
01:00:57 |
l've wanted a lot of things from you. |
01:01:00 |
But now l just want |
01:01:05 |
Just answer two questions. |
01:01:09 |
- Okay. |
01:01:11 |
But l guarantee |
01:01:14 |
l don't-- whatever. |
01:01:16 |
Okay. |
01:01:18 |
First question-- |
01:01:20 |
- why did you leave me? |
01:01:23 |
l told you the first time. |
01:01:26 |
l wasn't happy. |
01:01:28 |
No, it's not enough. l was unhappy too. |
01:01:31 |
- l want to know the why-- |
01:01:33 |
Well, that's for me to decide. |
01:01:36 |
lf you tell me why, |
01:01:38 |
- l'll make-- |
01:01:41 |
- Fine! |
01:01:42 |
But there's no nice way to put this. |
01:01:44 |
You have never been nice. |
01:01:46 |
Okay okay okay okay! |
01:01:49 |
you're already dead. |
01:01:52 |
- You have been for years. |
01:01:54 |
You complain constantly, yet you never |
01:01:58 |
- You are so goddamn mean. l loved you. |
01:02:01 |
- What? What? |
01:02:03 |
You basically have no purpose! |
01:02:04 |
How the fuck could you write a novel |
01:02:09 |
( laughs ) |
01:02:11 |
There's no point to this. |
01:02:13 |
One more! You promised |
01:02:15 |
l have one more question. |
01:02:17 |
Please. Please. |
01:02:19 |
One more. |
01:02:22 |
Please. |
01:02:26 |
Okay. |
01:02:29 |
Now the second one. |
01:02:34 |
Why did you have an abortion? |
01:02:37 |
l always wanted to have kids |
01:02:39 |
and you knew that. |
01:02:42 |
Hmm? |
01:02:44 |
l didn't have an abortion. |
01:02:47 |
What? You-- |
01:02:50 |
- You didn't? |
01:02:52 |
and gave him up for adoption. |
01:02:54 |
You didn't have an abortion? |
01:02:56 |
You're shitting me. |
01:03:00 |
l wasn't ready. |
01:03:06 |
Besides, it was a child |
01:03:13 |
Why didn't you tell me? |
01:03:15 |
Why didn't you-- |
01:03:19 |
He? He? |
01:03:21 |
You said he? |
01:03:23 |
( voice cracking ) |
01:03:25 |
You didn't tell-- |
01:03:30 |
Yes, you have a son. |
01:03:43 |
Do you have any idea where he is? |
01:03:48 |
- Do you have-- do you know where he is? |
01:03:51 |
l'd like to maybe meet him, |
01:03:54 |
l-- l'm sorry. |
01:03:55 |
l'd like to maybe meet him |
01:03:58 |
and to know him. |
01:04:02 |
He's filming you right now. |
01:04:07 |
- Him? |
01:04:11 |
He didn't tell you. |
01:04:15 |
Him, no. |
01:04:18 |
You ask me who your father is |
01:04:30 |
- Here he is, Max. |
01:04:32 |
Let me introduce you |
01:04:49 |
- You two are unbelievable. |
01:04:55 |
Two of a kind, |
01:05:02 |
Max, l'm sorry. |
01:05:10 |
l did what l thought was right. |
01:05:12 |
Okay. |
01:05:14 |
lt's in the past and that's |
01:05:17 |
l hope you both |
01:05:22 |
Carla, l always loved you. |
01:05:35 |
Good luck with the suicide. |
01:05:37 |
Let me know how it works out. |
01:05:55 |
Hey, look who's here. |
01:05:57 |
What the fuck do you want? |
01:05:58 |
Who are you? |
01:06:02 |
l'm just someone who wanted |
01:06:07 |
Motherfucker! |
01:06:09 |

01:06:11 |
Go on, Max! |
01:06:12 |

01:06:16 |
Who the fuck are you? |
01:06:18 |
- ( laughing ) |
01:06:19 |
l think you know who l am, Max. |
01:06:32 |
Forget about that crazy bastard. |
01:06:40 |
l want you to know |
01:06:43 |
There was just never a good time. |
01:06:46 |
l'm really sorry. |
01:06:59 |
- l know. |
01:07:02 |
You're gonna think |
01:07:06 |
l started to follow you. |
01:07:09 |
Getting familiar |
01:07:11 |
l looked you up on the net, |
01:07:13 |
a couple graphic novels |
01:07:15 |
So l looked those up, |
01:07:21 |
lt was a reason to start |
01:07:24 |
Oh, yeah. |
01:07:28 |
l'm sorry that you |
01:07:32 |
- ( crying ) But the truth is-- |
01:07:35 |
l didn't have the courage. |
01:07:39 |
- l was scared. |
01:07:44 |
l'm sorry. |
01:07:46 |
Stop. |
01:07:49 |
- Don't-- don't-- |
01:07:52 |
No. |
01:07:56 |
Hey. |
01:08:00 |
No more crying, okay? |
01:08:02 |
Just do me a favor. |
01:08:06 |
You're my son. |
01:08:09 |
Wow, huh? |
01:08:11 |
You just forget it. |
01:08:14 |
Fuck it. Okay? |
01:08:18 |
lt's a time for celebration. |
01:08:20 |
- Yeah. |
01:08:36 |
You gonna let me in |
01:08:41 |
l'd rather not, okay? |
01:08:43 |
Okay, look, time to expose |
01:08:46 |
the secret underbelly |
01:08:49 |
- Okay? |
01:08:52 |
Wow. Yeah, in a sense. |
01:08:54 |
( laughs ) |
01:08:55 |
There's no way |
01:08:57 |
but we are going to a place that is |
01:09:00 |
as a house of ill-repute, |
01:09:02 |
- a brothel, a whorehouse... |
01:09:04 |
- ...a knocking shop. |
01:09:08 |
- But why? |
01:09:10 |
What? Shocked to find out |
01:09:14 |
Huh? |
01:09:16 |
Look, l'm just going there to talk to |
01:09:19 |
- Okay. |
01:09:21 |
l could treat you. |
01:09:24 |
- l think l'll give it a miss. |
01:09:26 |
Save me some dough. |
01:09:27 |
Thanks for the offer. |
01:09:39 |
Man: |
01:09:41 |
lt's okay. He's filming me, not you. |
01:09:44 |
l don't care. |
01:09:46 |
You don't care? |
01:09:50 |
Asshole. |
01:09:52 |
Oh my God. Melinda? |
01:09:56 |
l had no idea. |
01:09:59 |
Oh, come on, talk to me. lt's not like |
01:10:02 |
You know what? You didn't come down |
01:10:06 |
That's-- you-- you're wrong. |
01:10:08 |
- Yeah, whatever. |
01:10:11 |
l-- l-- l-- l made a pledge |
01:10:14 |
and to stop lying to other people. |
01:10:16 |
l always thought that |
01:10:18 |
if we weren't, |
01:10:21 |
Let me-- let me |
01:10:23 |
- l'm waiting for somebody. |
01:10:26 |
- What? |
01:10:27 |
l'm waiting for my husband Mikhail. |
01:10:33 |
Your husband? |
01:10:38 |
l didn't know you were married. |
01:10:39 |
Does he know you're out here? |
01:10:41 |
- Yeah. |
01:10:44 |
How does he take it? |
01:10:50 |
You know, why don't you just |
01:10:52 |
That is, if you can get it up. |
01:10:57 |
Max: l see. |
01:10:59 |
l see how it is now, huh? |
01:11:03 |
You know what? |
01:11:05 |
- Bitch. |
01:11:06 |
Wait. Buddy, wait here. |
01:11:08 |
- l'll be right back. |
01:11:10 |
Open the door. |
01:11:32 |
He's telling the truth, you know. |
01:11:37 |
He came here to say |
01:11:43 |
Why? |
01:11:48 |
( chuckles ) |
01:11:51 |
Um... |
01:11:55 |
l'm not filming |
01:12:00 |
lt's the last day in the life. |
01:12:05 |
l don't understand. |
01:12:12 |
He's done. |
01:12:16 |
Okay. |
01:12:18 |
He's had enough. |
01:12:21 |
You've got to be |
01:12:29 |
l don't know how to stop him. |
01:12:31 |
But, listen, |
01:12:33 |
l know Max. |
01:12:35 |
He may not be a great man, |
01:12:39 |
l-- there's some good in him anyway. |
01:12:42 |
So if you're his friend, |
01:12:45 |
l'm not his friend. |
01:12:49 |
l'm his son. |
01:12:54 |
l've given everything that l can. |
01:12:59 |
l-- |
01:13:02 |
if l just can ride it out... |
01:13:06 |
l figure if l can keep him talking |
01:13:08 |
and keep him drinking... |
01:13:12 |
then he won't be able |
01:13:15 |
That's all l can think of. |
01:13:24 |
lt's okay. |
01:13:27 |
- ( buckle rattling ) |
01:13:31 |
No. |
01:13:33 |
Shh. So, um-- |
01:13:36 |
How can you do this? |
01:13:38 |
How can you do this really? |
01:13:40 |
How do you do it? |
01:13:41 |
l'm sorry, l don't understand. |
01:13:47 |
Really? Okay. |
01:13:50 |
l just want to talk, okay? |
01:13:58 |
l just want to talk for a while. |
01:13:59 |
Sure. |
01:14:01 |
Whatever pleases you. |
01:14:03 |
Listen, would you cut the-- |
01:14:05 |
Just cut the bullshit, |
01:14:07 |
All right? l'm just |
01:14:09 |
l'm begging you. |
01:14:15 |
lt's your hour. |
01:14:18 |

01:14:20 |
l know the rules. |
01:14:24 |
Aw, fuck it. |
01:14:30 |
Look... |
01:14:33 |
l'm sorry. |
01:14:38 |

01:14:43 |
Truthfully, l don't know. |
01:14:44 |
But-- look, |
01:14:47 |
good luck with your life. |
01:14:53 |
Hey, honey... |
01:14:56 |
where do you think Melin-- |
01:14:59 |
- Do you know? |
01:15:05 |
For just a brief moment, |
01:15:08 |
there was a spark |
01:15:10 |
l'm just bullshitting you. |
01:15:12 |
Which room is he in, huh? |
01:15:18 |
- Which room is he in? |
01:15:20 |
- Thank you. |
01:15:23 |
l know where it is. |
01:15:33 |
Oh, wow. |
01:15:35 |
l don't want to interrupt, but-- |
01:15:37 |
- What the fuck? |
01:15:39 |
in the wheelchair outside? |
01:15:41 |
- ls that-- in the wheelchair outside? |
01:15:43 |
( grunting, yelling ) |
01:15:46 |
You talk to me about my wife?! |
01:15:47 |
( grunting, groaning ) |
01:15:58 |
Sasha! |
01:16:01 |
( screaming ) |
01:16:07 |
- Ow! |
01:16:09 |
lt's me. Jesus, |
01:16:12 |
- ( moaning ) |
01:16:14 |
- Stop. |
01:16:19 |
Jesus. |
01:16:22 |
- Sit down here. |
01:16:26 |

01:16:29 |
He's a real nice guy. |
01:16:31 |
Okay, it's time to go. |
01:16:33 |
We're going, come on. |
01:16:35 |
Bud. Bud. |
01:16:38 |
- Let's have that drink. |
01:16:40 |
That's okay. |
01:16:43 |
You're right about me. |
01:16:44 |
You're right about everything. |
01:16:48 |
l guess l just couldn't |
01:16:50 |
someone could leave someone |
01:16:52 |
this goddamn shitstorm. |
01:16:54 |
- lt's okay. |
01:16:56 |
Let's go. |
01:16:58 |
Yeah, we're-- let's go |
01:17:00 |
Melinda: |
01:17:02 |
Moving on, Buddy. |
01:17:04 |
Are you really going |
01:17:07 |
You're gonna walk me to my apartment, |
01:17:11 |
go home and pull the trigger? |
01:17:13 |
Aw, fuck you. |
01:17:15 |
Yeah, don't-- |
01:17:17 |
All right, whatever. |
01:17:23 |
- Sorry. |
01:17:27 |
Max, come on. |
01:17:30 |
Come on, let's have |
01:17:33 |
What about your husband? |
01:17:34 |
- Huh? |
01:17:37 |
l'm-- l'm sure he'll |
01:17:46 |
Max: |
01:17:51 |
Melinda, l don't |
01:17:54 |
but, l mean... |
01:17:58 |
for God's sake, |
01:18:01 |
There was an accident. |
01:18:03 |
Well, that's funny. |
01:18:05 |
l-- l fell down some |
01:18:10 |
What difference does it make? |
01:18:15 |
ls he the reason? Huh? |
01:18:19 |
Mikhail? |
01:18:20 |
- Did he do it? |
01:18:22 |
- did he throw me down the stairs? |
01:18:26 |
The answer is yes, but... |
01:18:30 |
l did it to myself. |
01:18:34 |
Furious with him for nothing |
01:18:37 |
and l-- l don't think |
01:18:40 |
knew what was happening. |
01:18:45 |
and then, the next thing l... |
01:18:48 |
knew l was-- |
01:18:51 |
l was in intensive care. |
01:18:54 |
And that's it. That's it. |
01:18:56 |
l'm sorry. |
01:19:02 |
Come on, you know what, |
01:19:04 |
And l'm-- l'm no more |
01:19:10 |
What? |
01:19:13 |
- Do you want some ice for that? |
01:19:18 |
l'm fine, really. |
01:19:21 |
Whoa, three in a row. |
01:19:23 |
( sighs ) |
01:19:26 |
- You're bleeding. |
01:19:28 |
Honey, don't worry. |
01:19:30 |
ls-- is it Mikhail's? |
01:19:34 |
Oh, how l wish it was. |
01:19:36 |
But no. |
01:19:37 |
Um, Bud and l, uh-- |
01:19:39 |
we had an accident |
01:19:42 |
Right? |
01:19:43 |
l don't understand, Max. |
01:19:47 |
Um, as this was-- |
01:19:50 |
this is my last day |
01:19:52 |
l decided to set |
01:19:54 |
So l went to see my boss, right? |
01:19:57 |
And, um, well, l just |
01:20:01 |
- but he wouldn't. |
01:20:04 |
So he came at me |
01:20:05 |
and we struggled |
01:20:07 |
- ( Melinda gasps ) |
01:20:11 |
And... |
01:20:14 |
that's what happened. |
01:20:16 |
- Did you, um-- |
01:20:19 |
- Did you kill him? |
01:20:20 |
Hmm? Right? |
01:20:22 |
Max: |
01:20:25 |
Look, l didn't want it to happen, |
01:20:27 |
but he's gone, okay? |
01:20:30 |
So what does it matter? |
01:20:32 |
And l'll be gone too very soon |
01:20:33 |
- before they catch up to me. |
01:20:36 |
- What? |
01:20:37 |
l'm the kind of man |
01:20:39 |
Okay? |
01:20:42 |
Accident or not, there's no sense |
01:20:45 |
And what about your son? |
01:20:47 |
- What about him? |
01:20:51 |
- No he doesn't. |
01:20:53 |
No he doesn't. |
01:20:55 |
- he needs a father. |
01:21:00 |
- What do you say? |
01:21:02 |
- ( crying ) |
01:21:04 |
Buddy, Buddy, Buddy, |
01:21:06 |

01:22:17 |
You gotta trust me. |
01:22:19 |

01:22:22 |
- Why don't you let me take the gun? |
01:22:24 |
lt would make me feel better. |
01:22:26 |
Trust me, Buddy, |
01:22:29 |

01:22:57 |
He's-- he's a nice boy, huh? |
01:23:02 |
