I know you're in here.

God damn it.

If I have to call the police, they're going to take you to jail.

I'll make you wish you were never born.

I'm going to cut off your balls, faggot. I'm going to make a purse out of them.

You think you're so smart, huh?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Yeah, right.

I don't know how you can do all this after what he put you through.

I can do all this because I enjoy it.

I like making friends.

Because I like it when things are nice.

Jesus, come on.

I'm sorry.

Geez.

Look at me.

I'm the winner.

Your father's lab is over now, and I'm the winner.

Why else do you think that bitch is still calling?

Rolling back.

Come on, sweetheart.

Oh, hey, Chris. How are you?

No, she's a little weak, but she's fine. The baby's fine.

Hey, how you doing, Krista?

I'm sorry she got so long to get back here. We came right from the doctor's

office. Man, clapping out there is terrible.

All the streetlights are out.

Has Dad called yet?

No.

I'm sorry, this is turning out to be.

How about Jen?

Well, she hasn't returned any of my phone calls.

Surprise, surprise.

Do we even know what Dad was doing that part of town tonight?

No, man.

What we gonna do for New Year's?

God, beg it for New Year's, son.

Beg it for New Year's. That's the shit.

That's the shit. What we gotta do is Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Man, that is

craziest shit I've ever seen.

Dwayne.

Now you talking shit. You ain't never been to New Orleans. You ain't never

to New Orleans.

I got cousins down there. You know my cousin Kevin, though.

He from New Orleans?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, see that?

I think that was your brother Tisha, man.

Tisha?

Hey, I think that was my father's name back there, man.

I said, where the fuck that was Tisha, man?

Who else?

I said, where the fuck over there? Hey, man.

Uh -huh.

Yeah.

You know, Rocky, you need to look, bro.

You know, Moe? Yeah. How you doing, man?

I'm just chilling.

What the fuck are you doing?

Gotta take Tisha home. Oh, that's so.

Yeah.

Come on, teacher, let's go.

Mom's gonna have my ass if I don't get you home. You gonna take that kind of

attitude? Uh -huh.

Joaquin, why are you doing this?

Mom's ain't gonna have your ass for nothing.

She don't even know what day it is.

Damn, little sister, don't put your family business out in the street like

Teacher, come on now.

What's up, sis?

Did we make a motherfucking deal? Or was I just imagining shit, huh?

When I said five large, thought you understood.

That was a motherfucking quote.

You never heard of a little negotiation?

Bullshit, man.

You don't negotiate now, not when I got the motherfucking shit here.

Oh, you got the shit here? Let me see.

Fuck you, motherfucker. I'm out of here.

Are you going to turn your back on me?

Turn your back on this motherfucker.

wheelchair.

And I was sort of run over by a car.

Is this a new cable TV show?

No.

It started that annoying, a baby, a malfunctioning beeping thing when I was

the shower.

So your family's called here like a thousand times.

My father called?

No. Sandy.

It's your dad's birthday, remember?

That's right.

I knew the pain in my stomach was telling me something. Come on, he can't

that horrible.

Izzy?

Is there something you haven't told me?

What kind of lurid revelation are you hoping for?

I'm just trying to help you, you know? I'm just trying to get to the root of

your fear of intimacy thing.

Oh, poor baby.

Here.

Anyway, the doctor said thumb bleeding isn't perfectly normal, so everything's

fine. It wasn't thumb.

It's a lot.

Yeah, I know.

So the doctor just wants us to call him in the morning to make sure she's still

doing okay.

It wasn't thumb.

It was a lot.

Oh, honey, you just need to get off your feet and get some rest. That's my

prescription. I think she's right. Why don't you go lay down, sweetheart?

Your father is so excited about having a grandson.

Everything is good.

No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. What? It might be Dad.

Hello?

Hang on.

Is that woman calling here again?

Oh, that man.

No.

Hold on.

Baby?

Bitch, don't be putting me on hold.

Yo, shut the fuck up, man.

I think he's the first motherfucker to ever get shot.

Listen, I need to swing by your motherfucking place right now and drop

off. Oh, you can't do that. Not tonight. It's my dad's birthday. My mom's

totally freaking out.

Some crazy shit went down tonight, all right?

Are you okay?

Do I fucking sound okay?

I'm driving around with ten bags of green in the fucking back.

I can't get picked up with this shit.

Well, you can't bring it here. Not tonight.

Listen, bitch, I'm not fucking around, all right?

doing in there again, huh?

Just say no.

Just say no.

Jeff!

Hey, Heather.

What are you guys doing?

That's a good question.

I guess we're some kind of neighborhood watch all of a sudden.

There was just a shooting down here on Reseda Boulevard.

Yeah? And somebody killed Mrs. Ellis' dogs.

Yeah, it was crazy.

Carl went out at our house. When it came back on, they were dead. All four of

them.

Christmas in July when the motherfucking alarms ain't working.

Lewis.

I bet you think you got a TV, huh?

Yeah. That's a computer monitor.

What the fuck you telling me? You mean I can't watch shit on this? Yeah, if you

had a computer, maybe you should have stole that.

Man, that's some bullshit.

Yeah, that is some shit.

I don't even know what he's doing, man.

Check it. You see him, man?

What he stole ain't shit, but he's amused by it. You said something you

make damn sure.

that A, you're going to get something for it, or B, it will provide you some

goddamn amusement, man. You know what I'm saying, dog? No.

You sure there's no shit, idiot.

Yeah,

they said there's some old dead white dude

back there.

Dead white?

His neck is broken or something.

Stu.

Oh, shit!

Stu, don't fuck your head!

Why are you so insistent on meeting my family?

Why are you so ashamed of me?

You think that's what it is?

Well, what am I supposed to think? I mean, if there's not a good incest story

here, then...

What? He's just an asshole?

I don't buy it.

I don't buy it, Jen.

We should probably go, right?

Well, we'd have to get dressed.

Not immediately.

night to be special.

I can't remember the last time we were all together.

And now your father's off chasing squatters in some darn warehouse

This is just what I need.

My fish will die with the filter off.

No, honey.

It's going to last a long time, I'm sure of it.

Don't be afraid.

The lights will be back on soon.

You're going to have a healthy and beautiful baby.

It's dead.

Sandy, your husband's home.

Look what the cat tracked in.

Happy birthday.

Hey, Dad.

You know, you really had us all worried when you took off like that before.

Was there some trouble at the warehouse tonight?

Nothing I couldn't handle.

Why is Heather hiding behind your skirt?

I did not.

You think I've been drinking?

Go on.

Don't be a pussy.

What's in the bag?

in the bedroom. She's not feeling too well.

Heather wrote a poem.

She wrote it for your birthday.

Go get Ellen.

Go ahead.

It'll be okay.

So, let me hear your poem.

Actually, it's kind of a rap. Rap?

Well, let me hear it anyway.

Crazy red skies illuminate my eyes. So many what ifs. So many wonder why.

Melodies so heavenly pour sweet juice in my soul.

How's my grandson doing in there?

What is it?

Just a little pick -me -up.

It's not bad, huh?

This is fucked up, man.

What a paramedic.

In the other neighborhood, motherfucker missing his head, that shit would be top

party. You know what I'm saying? They don't even know who that old dude was.

No, somebody was saying that the guy was from, like, Bosnia.

Bosnia? How the fuck he end up over here?

I don't know.

Supposed to have lights in this alley.

I don't think a smoke alarm would have saved the dude.

Brother.

What's going on with Rakim, man?

Talking about city codes and shit, like he running for mayor or something.

Because he got it in for the landlord, that's why.

Who? The landlord of the place.

You know, my little darling died in that fire.

What's that motherfucking landlord name?

Hey, Tisha.

What the fuck you doing?

Bringing that shit up with her. You know she ain't over that shit yet. She'll

never get over that.

Dumbass.

Armstrong.

The guy's name is Armstrong.

That's right.

I know him.

Actually, I know his daughter, Heaven.

Real stuck -up kind of bitch, you know what I'm saying? But you wouldn't

who she kicking it with.

Who?

Think? That ain't all.

She holds Think Bank in her room.

Right up under the parents' nose, man. How you know?

My entire own cousin Jeff told me.

Ain't that a trip?

You're telling me that old bastard got a stash of green up under him and he

don't even know it?

You know where the motherfucker lives.

Rakim, what are you thinking?

You serious?

You think some kind of half -assed revenge is going to make Donnie rest in

peace? There's nothing I can do for Donnie now, I know that. There was

you could do for him then either.

It was an accident.

I was his big brother.

Don't worry.

I won't tell Mom.

We can keep each other's secrets, can't we?

I was so disappointed you weren't a boy.

But you're the strongest of us all.

Dad?

Heather, you all right, hon?

She's overwrought.

Oh, she's not coming down on something.

Thank you.

That's it.

Goodbye.

There it is.

Abandon all hope. Ye who enter here.

Oh, Jess.

I'm so glad you finally made it.

We thought we'd just come by and see if the old man was mulling with AJ.

Is everything okay?

How's Ellen?

So, man, what are we doing here?

What do we do now?

All I know is I'm doing something.

I don't care if it's throwing a rock through that motherfucking window.

I can't believe you, man.

You drove us all the way out here to throw a rock through some motherfucking

window? I thought we were going to rob the place.

Man, I knew it. This is all about Rakim and his goddamn obsession with that

slumlord Armstrong.

Yeah. Man, what the fuck?

Get out of the car.

Man, who the fuck are you? Get out of the car.

Okay, he said, nah, man, those are my footballs.

Dare to kill him.

What?

What are you talking about?

What's going on?

Okay.

What exactly do you mean Dad took Ellen?

He just came in and grabbed her. There's no bag in the bedroom.

Then he takes my car. Then he just takes off. He almost runs me over. Why have

you not called the police?

I can't call the police.

Why not?

God, from what it sounds like, Dad is having some sort of fucking mental

breakdown.

I can't call the police, Jen.

Karen, what the fuck are you talking about? God, are you on something?

Maybe.

Oh, Jesus.

He's poisoned us.

He's got your eyes.

hell is keeping these cops?

Yo, man, you got absolutely no right to be holding us like this. Just chill out,

okay? No one wants any problems here. Go call them again.

Get your ass back on the curb.

Dad, that sound like mom.

Hey, I'm talking to you, motherfucker Republican.

Oh, mother motherfucker.

You shut up now.

Rakeem, dog, keep cool, man.

This is bullshit.

I said shut the fuck up.

Fuck, man.

What was that?

Dad, just let her go.

You've got something to say?

You have some witticism?

Man, that's not even necessary, man.

Sit your ass back on that curb.

You don't have anything to say now?

Is it a question?

Don't matter what I got from. What matters is what I'm going to do with it.

Fuck them up, Rocky. Fuck them up. This is so fucked up, Rocky.

Be cool, man.

Let's sit back on that here, all right?

Let's go?

Yeah.

Okay, keep running.

It must be Bill's Defendants Entertainment Center.

Okay, you just wait here.

used to hold a gun, and as you can see, it's gone to his head.

Shut up, teacher!

You were twisting my arm!

Sorry!

Ah, motherfucker!

What's wrong with her?

She was picking her guts out like literally it was red.

Hey, what is it?

That shoe was just okay a few minutes ago.

Yo, I didn't give you permission to have a rally over there.

Just go ahead, fuck.

I can't see shit.

Hey, we need to get the fuck out of here, man.

Jesus Christ, will you guys just do what you came here for already?

Well, you came here to kill me, didn't you?

Then go ahead and do it.

What the hell do you have the gun for, Rakim?

Yeah, big brother, I was kind of wondering that shit myself.

I had it just in case we got into trouble.

There was trouble, and it did a whole lot to help, didn't it?

If I hadn't been strapped, we'd all be dead by now.

Strapped? Are you a badass now?

Your friend is hemorrhaging all over the place. I suggest you get him to a

doctor right now.

Is that right?

It's not bad.

It's just his arm, right?

Getting shot anywhere is bad.

That's true, man. You get infected, you can die from ingrown toenail. And that

ain't shit compared to a bullet.

Hey, man, he's gonna fucking die if we don't get him looked at.

Motherfuckers, I can still hear what y 'all saying.

There is alcohol in the kitchen. I would at least put that on the wind for right

now.

Okay, Lisa.

Come on.

Go to the other side.

Hey, listen.

What is it?

The dogs have stopped barking.

It just got real quiet out there.

Okay. These guys, they do not seem to be too organized.

You can slip out the back door pretty easily.

I'm going to do a pratfall over the coffee table when I go back out there. A

what? A pratfall. You know.

I'll do one of those, and then I'll go out the back door. Wait, wait. I'm not

leaving without you. God, you're not getting noble on me, are you? I'm

maybe, yeah. Hey, just don't. Now just try and hold the flashlight steady.

Hey, what is this?

Everyone feels free to walk around whenever they want to?

This just turned into chaos, man.

I have to see my daughter.

Your daughter? Her house. Her kid is in the back.

How many other folks have you been hiding from us? It is a kid, Jesus

She is her mother.

Now let her go check on her. Just let her go.

Come on in, Mom.

Close the door.

That motherfucker's moving in the backyard, man.

Yeah, yeah.

There's people moving around out front, too, man.

Everybody's just gonna sit tight, all right?

All right, man.

Sandy loves her children.

I mean, she loves Heather, of course, but...

She loves me and Jen just as much.

Hey, Curtis, come on.

I think she wants to fuck me.

Man, what the hell is your problem?

She takes good care of her kids.

Child care.

That must be a touchy subject for you, Rakeem.

Way to go, Mom.

It's all right, though. I mean, we all have our faults. Our slip -up. I mean,

that's what family's for. To cover us like a blanket. To protect us. Curtis.

God, he is stoned out of his mind. I can see that. Shut up!

Listen to the underprivileged person, sis.

She's a social worker, you know. I mean, she lives for your approval.

God, he is an asshole.

She shuns her own family to seek... Forgiveness from the lowest forms of...

the fuck up!

Man, this is bullshit!

I'm serious. Shut the fuck up, man.

But it does beg the question, doesn't it?

Forgiveness for what?

Fuck this shit, man!

I know you blame my family for Donnie's death, and not without some

justification. Curtis, what are you doing?

You've got to realize that had you been any type of older brother to little

Donnie, he would not have been all alone when the fire started.

I know what you're doing.

You want a bull in the head.

Well, maybe.

I just might help you with that.

Donnie, where were you?

Were you going crack?

No.

You and the wolf are in line. I'm just

kidding with you, Rakim. I mean, I know you're not like that.

You're one of the good ones, aren't you?

You're one of the talented tenth.

You were studying for a history final.

But still, he was all alone.

How do you know that?

He knows because I know.

And I know because I'm an attentive landlord.

I like to know the people who try to sue me.

Dad.

The prodigal returns.

Well, you sure picked a fine knife to grace us with your presence.

You're going to get your reward, Jen.

Your body's going to light up like a Christmas tree.

What the fuck?

Excuse me? It's okay.

Nobody's gonna get hurt.

Yep.

Shit.

Come on, son.

Supper time.

God bless you.

Help me.

I swear.

Let me tell you something.

Forget it.

I smell blood on this one.

Oh,

I'm afraid.

You're right.

Sandy and Heather took too much water.

They tried to touch me.

Yes?

What happened to you?

You want to put a name on it?

Maybe. Maybe there's a fucking cure.

Oh, why would I want it?

I have to admit, it was a nasty little surprise at first.

I wonder what kind of goddamn third -world disease I've been infected with.

old guy looked like some kind of cow.

I'm sorry.

You disapproved of my language.

is disapproved.

You got me a snowboard and that paper you wrote in school.

But you never refused the gift. How do you think I bought you that pony?

That's the spirit.

You'll be a member of this family.

I don't know.

Oh, bum.

I smell the blood of an Englishman.

No!

Hold on!

You know what's in the middle of that right now.

Look!

What the fuck are we gonna do?

Now it's we.

There, there.

You have to eat if you want to grow strong.

It could be the same everywhere, every house, all the neighbors.

Oh, God.

Are you cold?

That is not why I'm shivering.

I know.

That other girl, Lisa?

She's my lover.

What do you want?

A medal?

I wasn't doing shit to you.

It wasn't anywhere near my mind. I know. I am sorry. I just want to get it out

of the way.

What do you think?

You think you're that irresistible?

You think I can get up in a situation like this even if I wanted to? God, I

I was sorry.

Jesus, girl, where you going?

Can't believe this shit.

Fuck me.

Just spent an hour in a trash can like the goddamn Cookie Monster.

This is bullshit.

The keys are in. Get in the car.

Shit. God, don't you know how to hotwire it?

You got any neighbors that maybe aren't monsters?

There's one. I don't know, maybe.

She's the crazy alcoholic stripper that my father's been having an affair with.

A crazy alcoholic stripper. That's her last hope. Well, what can I tell you?

But she just lives right down the block.

Oh, well then, by all means, let's go.

You're the one that knows this woman.

What do you want?

Do you remember me? I'm Jen Armstrong.

I know who you are.

I asked what you wanted.

We need your help. There's been... I don't even know how to explain it.

We need to use your phone. It's an emergency. There's been an accident.

It's been dead for about an hour.

Phone company is pissed at me, I think.

I had words with one of their operators.

If you could put the car keys.

A vicious little cunt.

These things are so powerful.

Where's he going?

He's just going to see his cops over here. There's been an accident.

So you said.

You're the bad daughter, aren't you?

You must smoke.

I am sorry, Virgin, you're like this.

We will be out of your hair as soon as possible.

You've got your father's eyes.

Did you hear that?

I don't see anything, though.

I'm going down to check it out.

Well, maybe we should just stay here and wait.

I'm going down.

You know what I hate most about your father, Jen?

No.

Never keeps his promises.

Not even the little ones.

Came over last night and he made all sorts of promises.

You saw my father last night?

He said he was going to come back as soon as he could.

You saw my father after he went to Compton.

He said when he came back, we'd be together.

Forever.

But I know he's not coming back.

He's just leaving me here.

Too hot.

Like this.

Half in, half out.

But he gave it to you, huh? His own daughter.

I wasn't good enough for him.

Thick bastard.

What?

I can't change.

I'm stuck in the middle.

Your father took from me, but he didn't give anything back.

The blood has to go both ways.

It's in you.

That means that you can give it to me.

Take it from me.

Just like your father did.

You can smell it on me.

I know you do.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good news is, I don't want these things.

Hey, Moe.

The dad and my grandma are like best friends.

Bad news is, I seem to change my cat.

Oh, you can't be silly, can you?

You sure you're okay?

Hey, Moe.

What the fuck are you doing here?

I was going to ask you the same thing, man.

No, answer my motherfucking question. What the fuck is going on?

Well, let's just get in your ride, and I'll tell you about it later.

you would think.

What?

If I didn't know you were such a lightweight, I think you were trying to

up. Hey, what you talking about, man?

Put a fuck in that.

Hold on.

Why'd you even ask me if I was a thing? He talking a lot of shit, saying he

wants to rematch, saying he want to bring it to most.

When did he tell you all this shit?

All night. That's what your sister told me.

Tisha.

Tisha called you?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's why we're here.

Now, where is that motherfucker?

Think dead, man.

What?

Think dead? I saw him.

Oh, wait. Here we go.

Remember me, motherfucker?

What's up?

What's up?

Do you know what that is down there?

It's feeding time.

You still with me?

Yeah.

I'm still with you, son.

You can do it.

I feel hurt, even when you're dead.

It's not contagious like that. You have to swap fluids with them.

So now you know all about it.

It's like instinct.

And don't worry, I don't even feel like I've changed that much.

I feel them.

I feel what they're feeling. If I close my eyes, I can see what they see, but I

am not one of them.

How do you figure that?

Because I won't let myself be.

It took me too long to get away from these fucking people, and I am not going

become one of them now.

It's a sad fact.

People don't get to choose what they are.

Bullshit! I can and I will.

Now I won't hurt you.

You don't know what you'll do.

I'm going out that door.

Are you going to stop me?

I just took a shower.

You won't believe what was in my hair.

Oh,

you can feel that.

Amazing, huh?

I feel like I'm sleepwalking. But at the same time, it's the most natural thing

in the world.

Oh, yeah, well, we just sort of decided he didn't quite fit in.

I mean, he broke into our home after all. And we're going to reward him with

immortality for that?

Immortality. Oh, just a word.

Oh,

well, he's not going to last too much longer.

Heather did that whole religious symbolism thing to him. I don't know

got that from.

And Curtis, he made the sign.

I'm really happy telling you it did my heart good to see the two of them

on a project together.

And where are they now?

Oh, they're out getting food.

We're going to have to bunk down here for a few days until it's time to move

Isn't it funny how we just know these things?

Oh, I think it's sexy.

I stayed because I wanted to be here when she came around. When she opened

eyes, I want her mommy to be the first thing she sees.

It's me already.

It's like imprinting with ducks.

I know you're fighting me.

But it's just self -defeating. It's how I used to be.

Guilty. Neurotic.

This has done for me what motivational tapes couldn't.

What Pilates couldn't.

I've done it wrong.

I'm empowered.

It's okay. We can fight this.

Okay? Just look at me.

Look at me.

Remember me.

Just hang in there.

It's okay, Jen.

I'm back.

It's me, lovely.

Sweetie.

Don't look at me like that.

Come here.

Please?

Fuck you!

Who are you kidding?

We don't have to pretend anymore.

We don't have to worry about being hip, clever, or progressive.

or anything else.

We can finally just be what we are.

It feels so fucking good.

Step out of the car.

I don't need this shit right now, all right? Can I see your driver's license?

Here you go.

So, sport, what are you doing in this neck of the woods?

Just out for a little drive?

Of course.

There's nothing suspicious about a young man driving around in the middle of a

blackout. Hey, check this out.

Put your hands on the hood.

Look, man, just bust me for whatever you're going to bust me for. But we've

to get our asses out of here like now. Right now. You've got to put your hands

on top of the vehicle.

I ain't crazy.

I am a cracker, all right?

Ah, shit.

Just listen to me.

Fuck, just listen to me. Just listen to me for a second. You don't know what

you're doing.

There's shit out here you guys don't know about.

Just listen to me, please.

He was our great grandpapa.

I guess in Bosnia, the landlords had more patience than my dad.

She's his daughter.

The Serbs had some fun with her.

She's healed on the outside.

Peace ruined everything.

So that's when they move.

Ugh.

It's for her daddy.

You kill Donnie and go away with it.

And Artesia is going to be his little pet.

Okay.

uh -huh
