Original subtitles

On and on and on we go, where we'll stop,

no one knows, searching for the love we longed for.

Happy night, good night, when will we bye?

And on that day I will mount my beautiful wings.

I will mount my beautiful wings. I will mount

my beautiful wings.

And I'll fly on so high to the heavenly skies.

And I'll fly.

Just shut up and eat your food.

you think you are. You don't tell me to shut up. Hey, what's all the fuss?

Eat the fuss, not even when I put it in front of him.

Oh, Yolanda, you know Ray has an anger disorder problem. No, my problem.

Well, I know it's not your problem, but it seems to me if you were to get ahead

of Ray's problem, it would cut down on less confusion in the morning.

What do you say, man?

Well, you know Ray has to eat before he takes his medication, so why don't you

put some cereal?

And some milk on the table in case he doesn't like what you've cooked.

And that'll cut down on less confusion in the morning. There you go,

Ray.

I see.

Well, I'll try anything to stop my boyfriend fucking cook every morning.

the same thing.

And that's how you get in front of a problem.

Yeah, because I don't eat horse shit. You know, I don't want the roots on your

horse. Give me your roots. Oh, God, guys.

Hey, hey, hey. Give me your roots.

What's for breakfast?

For $10 ,000.

Can you guess what this reddish -brown -and -white -slurpy -slushy substance

Oh, quiet.

This is for the win.

It's corned beef hash.

Oh, I'm sorry, Yolanda. The answer is something from the tail end of a horse.

Thanks for playing.

Come on, Greg. Did you even try it? Look.

No. You just complain, complain, complain.

It's okay.

It just needs a little salt. See?

There. Yeah. That'd be salted horseshit.

Yolanda, did you cook this?

Relax.

Did you cook this?

Yes.

On the stove?

Yes.

With he?

As if you could do any better.

Okay? Don't be jealous of a real woman.

No, no, no.

No, no, no, girl. You got jokes.

Take them to the stage, girl. Take them to the stage. Get paid for them little

jokes. All of this?

Fabulousness? Jealous of you?

You silly girl.

Hush. You Andre can go to hell.

No. What's funny is to just look at you and think you're as ignorant as you are.

Just tragic.

Ray, could you tell how ignorant Yolanda was just by looking at her?

I would never guess.

Jed?

Could you tell?

I'm sorry, Yolanda. I just couldn't get past how it looks. You ungrateful

bastards and fast!

Not like I've ever seen.

Today's the first day I've ever seen red horse shit. May the horse rest in

peace.

God damn it, guys.

I'm eating.

You know what?

I'm not going to live with this today.

Phil?

I need to take Peter off the lead.

Wow.

What?

Peter's not going to eat it.

Did you think about my request?

Hell yeah.

You know, I'm determined. You don't do enough around here to be asking me for

raise. I see these only factors. All you do is take the welfare checks and go do

whatever. What you think I do and what I actually do are my concerns. Well, my

concern is that I'm not getting paid enough for the work that I do around

And what I have to put off with.

Look, find another gig. If you don't like to pay, ain't nobody keeping you

Leave. Oh.

So, you don't want to share none of it with me, huh? You want to take it all

yourself?

Mirror yourself, okay?

If it wasn't for me, this whole house would be a pigsty.

No raise.

No raise? Oh, my gosh.

No raise?

No raise, no laundry.

Breakfast and dinner and that's it.

You threatening to work for me? Me, I'm not threatening.

I mean, show me. All right, then. How about this?

You're fired.

Get over there. I thought you'd be glad if she leaves. Yeah.

No tears here.

Not for me, either. All you do is smoke weed and cook nasty -ass food that

nobody wants to eat.

Yeah, it's good.

It's getting serious.

Oh,

my God.

When town goes crazy.

Me,

coming from Mr. Evil himself.

No wonder no one ever comes to see you. You are the most mean, moody, sour,

rough, clout, bumblebee of them. I want my pay now.

Now.

You understand?

Okay. You want your pay?

All right.

Yeah, I got no pay.

I'm gonna pay you to get the hell on.

You sure there's no money in our succumb?

You don't worry about that.

Now, here.

You got your pay. No need for you to come back. Bow!

Get to stepping.

Crazy Jamaican.

And you know what? You can take this rock -clad Nazi -ass fool with you.

Put the bell on you, eh?

Now put the roots on your soul, you understand me?

Did he know me?

Oh, she's coming.

Give me a minute. Okay.

God don't like ugly, understand me?

And he don't like corned beef hash, either.

Good riddance.

Mm -hmm.

Wait a minute.

Well, who's going to cook for us now?

Oh, hell, it won't be me.

Well, I'm glad it won't be you, man.

I'd be scared if it was you.

Navy guys can eat shit.

Mm -hmm.

It's true.

A misogynoir is the only thing around here we have that can fry an egg.

See how we fried mine too hard?

You know, I can never get an over -easy egg. All it takes is two minutes to cook

an over -easy egg.

I guess nothing's going to get him out of that room.

And they're talking like a child.

You know, I wish I had those legs.

I reckon that surgery messed him up pretty bad, guys.

So what?

He sits in there for weeks at a time and sucks.

What a way to heal.

I know.

Can you imagine? One minute you're walking and the next you're stuck in a

wheelchair.

I'm living it, Chad.

That's why if there's any way to get your ass up and walk, you get your ass

Got that right.

Oh, no.

All right, who's going to deal me in?

Let's get this game started.

Give me.

Pass it.

Tell the cards.

Is anybody going to get it?

Well, I'm not going to get it.

You get it.

I'm not going to get it.

You get it.

I'm not going to get it. You get it. I'll get it.

Good idea.

All right.

May I help you? Hi. Yeah, it's pouring out here.

I'm Ruth, Peter's sister. He's expecting me. Can you take a break?

Yeah. Thank you.

Oh.

I know I got that. It's okay. I got that. Okay.

All right. Hey,

fellas. I am Ruth. I'm Peter's sister.

I'm going to be staying with you guys for a while.

Well, welcome,

Ruth.

Thank you. Well, it's all good. You want to explain it to me, though?

Sorry, Farrah. Okay.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on It's so dark in here. I can barely see you.

Hi.

Hey.

Sorry about that.

How was your trip?

It was fine.

It needs to be picked up in here. What is happening?

Yeah, well, I mean, look, I'm glad you could come.

Of course.

I told you, that is no problem for me. All you have to do is ask.

I want you to know that.

How are the kids?

They're fine.

I just wish they knew their uncle better.

Don't start with us, all right? Look, you're going to just stay for a month,

right?

Yes, I took off for a month, dear, to be here with you.

Like I told you on the phone, I had to fire that crazy Jamaican cook, so I'm

going to need your help with the cooking, even though your food stinks,

can find me a replacement, all right?

But... That's fine. That's what I'm here for. I want to help, and I get to know

your tenants.

Well, there ain't no need to get to know them.

They're a bunch of losers, and they're just tenants.

Peter, still keeping to yourself?

Well, you know that?

That Jamaican cook, you know she was terrible.

You know, all she did was smoke weed, cook nasty -ass food.

She had the nerve to demand a raise from me. Can you imagine that?

And then you fired her? Yeah, well, like I said, just like I just told you.

That's all she did.

Smoked weed downstairs with the rest of those losers and cooked that nasty hot

dog meatloaf food.

You know what? Enough of this, Peter.

What happened to you?

I had both knees surgically repaired.

My right knee slipped out of its pocket.

Hurts a lot. I won't stay at night.

It sounds painful.

So when is the correct surgery?

When I'm up to it.

Okay, well, I want to be here for you when you have it. When is it? I just

when I'm up to it, right? Okay, well, it's not something that you should go

through alone, so I want to make sure that I'm here.

Peter, I love you.

I love you, and I never hear from you.

Look, I don't need another mother, all right? One was more than enough.

You know, you need to watch your tone.

You really do. I came here to be helpful.

You want to be helpful, leave those drapes alone.

Let's keep them closed.

All right, we're done.

We're going down to bed.

We'll talk later.

I'm happy I'm here.

Well, that makes one of us. Okay.

I really need to pee. This is where I'm starting.

I'm getting in here.

Yeah.

Thank you, Lord.

Lord, bless this house.

Bless this house, oh Lord. There is depression here. There is conflict here.

There are lame bodies that need your healing, Lord.

Bless this oil, Heavenly Father. May I show them your spirit, Lord.

May these men be restored back to their family.

May they feel your love, Lord. And Lord, may me and my brother find the kindness

that we shared as children, Lord.

Bless us, God.

Thank you.

Bless us, Lord.

Bless us.

Bless us.

Hey, Bill, breakfast?

I will take that as a yes to breakfast.

Here you go.

Got eggs, bacon, and pancakes.

Wait, we had that type of food in there?

Yeah. Well, the bacon and the eggs were buried deep in the refrigerator drawer.

The pancake mix was all the way in the back of the fridge.

But we do need some more food, so I'm going to go to the store later.

Morning. Breakfast?

Yes, ma 'am.

Good morning.

Hey,

guys.

Breakfast? What's for breakfast?

Good morning, Ruth.

Morning, good morning, good morning.

How do you do?

Good morning.

Good question for you.

Let's go.

I'm going to go take Peter. I'll say it as well, okay?

Excuse me, gentlemen. Enjoy.

Well, well, well.

I'm surprised she even got up early enough to cook breakfast.

Why do you say that?

I don't know. I thought she was sleeping.

Well, I don't really trust her.

Although the food's good, though. I'll give her that.

She seems nice enough.

No, she's too happy.

Happy people you can't trust them, Jim.

That's stupid.

There's too much going on in the world to be too happy.

Besides, what was she doing outside in the pouring rain last night?

You saw that?

I saw it, too.

I think she was spreading holy oil around the house.

What the hell is that?

It could have been an accelerant, as far as we know.

Holy oil. Send us to heaven.

I mean, Peter could have hired her to come and kill us. Burn down the house

collect the insurance money.

How do we even know she's his sister?

Oil's a spiritual thing.

You know, to keep demons away.

Or remove them from the house.

And rape?

That's ridiculous.

Sounds like a black thing.

Well, she needs to pour a little more of that in here.

Right.

You do know Jesus was black, right?

Anyway, a lot of religions use holy oils. There's Judaism, Islam, Buddhism,

Christianity. They all use holy oils in one way or the other.

The three horsemen bought Jesus when he was born.

I've never heard of it.

Because you worship the blood, right?

Devil worshiper.

I don't have to convert to anything I don't believe in.

And I don't need her to be praying for me.

You know what? The next thing you know, we'll be having communion in this

godforsaken place.

Nobody's trying to convert your satanic ass.

You know, ain't nobody prayed for me in

a long time.

All right, guys.

Hope everyone is enjoying breakfast.

So how long you plan to stay, huh?

I'll be here for a few weeks, or at least until Peter feels better.

So maybe in the meantime we can all get to know each other.

Well, welcome.

I know me and my stomach are glad you are here. Thank you, Jeff.

I mean, she's been here for a week, and she wants our welfare card to go grocery

shopping? I don't trust her with my card.

Look, I'm just a messenger.

We can't get it ourselves, and Peter's worse off than us.

And what do you think she's going to do, run off with it?

Sheesh. No, it's Peter's job to provide for us. Now, that's why we pay him.

Well, look, Ray's right.

Peter ain't in no position to go to the damn store.

And as much as you smoke, you're the main one that's got to eat.

You know what? To hell with this.

I will return to a home.

Too much death in a home for me.

You ain't going nowhere.

Fine.

She doesn't look like the type that would run off with your car.

But she's not getting my car.

Well, tell that to Peter.

Everybody loves him.

Tell me, baby, can you stand the rain?

Hey, you know what?

Why do we always come in this door?

What's with all the gloomy faces?

Peter wants us to give our welfare cards to Ruth so she can go shopping.

Phil refuses.

Well, I don't have a problem with it. Hell, I may want to go with her to get

of this house.

I guess you're special, Phil.

You can get your daughter to suffer.

I told you not to mention that shit again, fucking... Oh, I'm so afraid of

Hey, hey, hey.

None of you can walk much less drive.

It's been raining for a week, and we need food.

We've been prisoners in this house.

You know what, Jeff? I can't believe that you're falling for this bullshit.

She is not getting my cat.

Well, I guess you don't want this box of Twinkies I bought for you with my car.

So you really went to the store?

I sure did.

I was leaving the VA hospital.

I got off the bus in the pouring rain and...

I went in and I picked up a few things.

Look at you, spreading your wings. The new man of the house.

Thank you very much.

Now, I bought us some pork chops for dinner tonight. And I got us some

blueberries for in the morning because we all know Ruth makes the best

pancakes. But I guess you won't be eating with us tonight, will you,

I mean, look, the girl can cook.

Y 'all remember when Yolanda cooked that hot dog meatloaf?

What present cookbook should get that from?

Look, I told her I was not eating that shit.

Oh, that thing was horrible.

I made the mistake of tasting it.

Phil, you're the only one that ate that thing. Hey, I had no choice, okay? I'd

been smoking all night.

Hey, exactly. And now we have somebody who cooks food that we don't have to eat

just to live.

Someone who smiles in the morning instead of frowning while she's trying

poison us.

Phil! Does that sound like somebody who would steal our cars?

Well, she can use my car.

Yep, mine too.

All right, you made your point.

Come on, give me those Twinkies. Come on. I was complaining in these caves for

box of Twinkies.

Do you guys ever consider the pole may be for you?

No.

Hey.

Come on.

Yeah.

What, Mom?

Dad?

Uh... When?

Uh... What are you tired of?

Why the hell are you calling me?

What, you're too afraid to come and tell me to my face?

What do you want me to do, feel sorry for the son of a bitch who kicked me out

of the house, forced me into a home?

Bull! You let him throw me out. You stood by and did nothing but watch.

So now Jason and Dad are gone, and it's just you and me.

Now you'll see what it feels like to be alone.

And now you'll see what it feels like to be abandoned by your own family.

What was it, Mom?

I'm too much of an embarrassment?

You guys never visited me in these shithole places you forced me to live

You only call with bullshit news.

And you always blame me for Jason.

You could never say it, but you did.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't let me know the arrangement.

I'm not coming.

Your lesson of abandonment begins today. I hope you're a good student.

And by the way, I'm fine.

What?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Don't... Don't... Don't cry, Ruth.

Are you okay?

I'm... I'm fine.

I hate her.

No.

No.

What?

You're up late.

Shit.

You scared the hell out of me.

Sorry. You want me to make you something to eat?

No.

So... Just couldn't sleep?

I can't sleep.

You know, it's always a pain.

And pain won't allow me to sleep, but... I got this prescription to smoke my

pain away.

Yeah. So, Phil, when's the last time you've been outside?

Why?

It's been raining ever since I've been here.

Yes, it has.

How long has my brother been up there, stuck in that room?

He's been in that room for about a month now ever since the surgery.

I can't believe you didn't tell me that you had the surgery and you couldn't

walk.

Well, you know, perhaps he didn't want to bother you.

Bother me?

We're family.

We're all we have.

Our mom and dad are gone.

So, you know, he's my brother. I need him. He needs me. And more than just a

cook.

Well, you know, some men, they just like to handle their own problems by

themselves.

And you guys are so way more horrible than women.

What?

Why?

Because you guys don't know how to have a good cry.

Really? Or ask for help, yeah.

Ask for help.

And Ruth, it's hard being a man.

You know, you're taught to handle your own problems from the time you leave the

womb to the grave.

You're taught to have a sense of pride and courage and handle your own shit,

most men do just that.

Well, there's nothing wrong with having a good cry.

It doesn't mean that you're weak. And there's nothing wrong with asking for

help. It doesn't mean you're less than a man. Everybody needs help and needs

somebody sometime in their life.

Oh.

Yeah. I left all of that rah -rah stuff behind in the military.

You know, the VA should be happy to help me or the other guys for that matter.

But the more we ask for help, the less we get. And you know what? I haven't

cried in years.

That's nothing to brag about.

Bet you Peter hasn't cried in years either.

That's why he's so angry and bitter.

Well, I'm not bitter.

But do you agree with me that he is?

Yeah, you know, Peter's mean.

Well, he didn't used to be.

He used to be kind.

Kind? Mm -hmm.

Now he's just a mean old queen now.

He's not a queen.

He's never been a queen.

He's a gay man, but not a queen.

What's the difference?

The difference?

Queen, they have to be all feminine.

They always try to act like a black woman, trying to have all this attitude,

this sass, and first of all, and first of all, and da -da -da.

They just try to be all saucy and sassy, like a black woman. But a gay man,

he's just gay.

And you just wonder why you never would a woman or, you know, you just ask

questions. But it's cool.

Gay men are cool.

That's kind of interesting.

Yeah.

So what's your story?

Oh, me?

Yeah. Oh, I assure you, I am not gay.

Don't mess these up.

We go to school, you know. Yeah, what's up now? How are you, sir?

Don't get flirty with me. Just letting you know, okay?

Miss Ruth OVA, is this the guy?

He ain't firing blanks.

Okay.

I'm so sorry for my brother.

He's just stuck up in that room, not talking to anybody.

Yeah, he's pretty lonely up there. And like I said, I mean...

Peter's frustrated with the surgery.

Yeah.

And you know what?

I'm sure that Peter doesn't want to be a mean queen.

I'm sorry, gay dude the rest of his life.

Right.

He gave me some tickets to a wine tasting with some of his friends.

I was the only woman.

And they...

had so much attitude with me. What? Like, they didn't want me there.

You? Yeah, me. That's what I said. Me? What? Yeah, they had so much attitude

with me. And when I started dancing by myself, because that's what I do

sometimes, they just started looking at me like I was crazy.

Like, oh, wait.

They were so intimidated or something.

I don't know. Hold on, hold on.

Intimidated by you? Yeah. That's Queens.

I'm telling you.

But there were some gay men there, too. And the gay dudes, they were super cool.

They were cool.

Cool, huh?

Okay, that's pretty interesting.

Phil, what's wrong with your feet?

What? My feet are fine.

No, your feet look crusty, and they look like they have not been washed in

years. What is wrong with your feet, sir? My feet are fine.

They just need a little lotion. Your feet are not fine. They need more than

lotion. Ruth. What? My feet are fine.

They're not fine.

I don't need this. I promise you. Seriously, you do need this. I promise

Okay.

Just relax.

Sounds good for you.

Oh, my God.

I love this. I know it.

How's that feeling?

Oh, that feels amazing.

Good. Oh, my God.

So you two soak.

And you sit back and enjoy.

So?

How'd that feel?

Amazing.

Good.

It's terrible what happened to Ray today, right?

I feel so sorry for him.

What do you mean?

His dad dying.

And his brother is dead.

Yeah.

My brother committed suicide, and, you know, like Ray said, it's just him and

his mom now.

You don't feel sorry for him? You don't feel sorry for him? Uh, yeah.

Death is a part of life.

So that's it?

No empathy?

Empathy.

Yeah.

My empathy wouldn't help Ray's situation now, now would it?

Okay.

You have a daughter, don't you?

I don't discuss her.

I have kids.

I have five kids.

I have four daughters and a son.

And my daughters, they don't really deal with their dad.

But my son, he loves his daddy.

Nothing wrong with that.

But his daddy didn't change his dirty diapers.

I changed shitty diapers and dirty diapers. I did it all.

Well. You're an exception.

I believe that children know who changed their shitty diapers.

Really? If that were true, you know, I would have received a thousand thank

by now.

Thank you?

Parents don't get thank yous. That's what parents do.

Look, we change the dirty diapers, and then when we get older, we expect them

change our diapers.

That's how it works.

Change the shitty diapers?

Yeah, change the shitty diapers.

Please.

You know, most kids, most kids will throw you in a shitty home.

Just like this one.

This place is not shitty.

It's not bad here.

It's not.

So, how long have you been divorced?

I never said I was married.

Yeah, well, I was there.

25 years.

Yeah. It was not good for me.

No.

Okay.

Great. There you go.

That feel good?

There you go. Better.

Help me.

All right.

Okay.

All right.

There. Now, how does that feel?

Oh, my gosh. That was amazing.

Thank you.

You're welcome. And Ruth.

Thank you for the talk.

Thank you.

The sun's supposed to come out tomorrow.

The sun comes out every day.

Just everyone doesn't see it.

Happy day.

Happy day.

Good morning. Good morning.

Yeah, yeah.

Man, I'm so hungry. I could eat a horse.

Bacon and eggs?

Better.

All right, guys.

Breakfast is up.

Ray. Yeah. And that's for you, Ray.

And there you go, fellas.

Enjoy. Ruth.

Need paper, all right?

I'll go check.

Oh.

Anybody got anything to do today?

Smoke.

Ruth, what is it? What's going on?

Here comes the sun!

No! Let me see. Let me see.

Ruth,

what is it? What's going on?

Here comes the sun!

What?

It's the sun!

The sun!

You know what, guys?

Let's get the hell out of here.

Yeah. I don't think I'll just, I can just stay here and read my paper.

Right. Stop thinking so much.

Let's just do it. Just do it. We're going. We're going.

That's what we're doing.

Let's go. Get your stuff. We're out of here.

I'm ready to live.

This thing called night.

I'm taking it one day at a time.

Won't let the bad moment change my mind.

I'm freeing my dreams from deep inside.

I'm not trying to be something I'm not.

I'm just trying to use what I got.

I may get a little bit sweet But it don't mean that I still don't have a

Where'd everybody go?

That hot towel treatment had me feeling like a million bucks.

No one asked me.

You would have refused like you always do.

I wish.

Well, someone could have asked. Look, this morning, Ruth went out to get the

newspaper, and the next thing you know, she's yelling, here comes the sun!

Here comes the sun!

And she told us to get the hell out of this house. Come on.

You were still asleep.

All that weed you smoked had you knocked out.

Ray, you make another smart remark and I'm going to smack the shit out of you.

Oh, you got me scared, Phil.

You're one scary fella. Oh, look at me, Hank. I'm trembling.

I'm trembling.

Hey, hey, hey, Phil.

Don't get your panties in the water.

Ruth didn't want to wake you up. That's all.

Come on, Hank.

She'll be happy to take you. Just ask her.

I'm surprised Ruth was able to get up.

She smoked just as much as I did.

Why? Why are you telling us that?

I'm just saying.

Little Miss Perfect?

Yeah, she smoked with me last night.

Why are you telling us that?

I don't know.

You are a miserable ass.

What?

The lady has a moment with you.

She lets down her guard a little to get to know you a little bit better. What do

you do?

You try to throw dirt on her. Hold up. You got me all wrong.

You, mister, I don't trust anybody. I don't discuss my private life or my

daughter. But Ruth pays you some attention and keeps your lonesome app

And you try to shit on her.

Hypocrite. Asshole.

You're an asshole.

Ruth even watched your...

He washed

his

disciples' feet before he died.

A sign of love and service.

Is Ruth Jesus?

I'll take...

some love and service.

You know, the only feet around here worth touching are mine. That's just a

Asshole. You little shit.

You know, speaking of shit, Phil, you can't keep shit a secret in this house.

Even after her sex?

That's a lie.

Did she say that?

If you did, Phil, that's just inappropriate.

I'm clutching my pearl.

I overheard everything.

Do tell. Do tell.

You little shit. You're just a little shit.

I hope she does take you for a haircut and shave.

I hope they cut and shave all the anger off your stupid face.

I called my ex -wife yesterday.

Why?

I wanted to see how she and the kids were doing.

Let her know that there were no hard feelings.

So what has it been?

Like five?

Like three.

But I stay in touch with my kids.

So what made you call?

Well,

that's a good question, Hank.

Ruth.

Ruth.

She said I would free myself of anger and frustration if I did.

So I called.

And you fell for that psychobabble bullshit.

But all you felt was weak.

Me?

I wouldn't dare call my ex -wife.

What about your daughter?

You gonna keep them in the same boat forever?

I wanted her to know that I got my drinks out of control. I was doing

with my PTSD.

Thank you.

You didn't tell her about all the weed you've smoked. From alcohol to weed.

Yeah. My weed is prescription medication, sir.

Well, you will go back to drinking again once Ruth leaves.

Shut up, Ray!

It doesn't have to be that way, Jeb.

Bill's right, Jeb.

It doesn't have to be that way. People can change for the better.

So, you're going to call your ex -wife, too?

Oh, hell no.

Congrats for all of this.

Wait a minute.

X, Y.

Hank, I thought you were gay.

I was married for 10 years before we divorced.

10 years? My son is 18 years old. 18?

Well, I'll be damned.

You can never let him see me like this.

Why not?

He's old enough to understand. Just keep it real with your son.

You have parental advice.

The man who doesn't speak with his own daughter.

They can eat you, right?

They can eat you, right? You don't know what Bill's been through.

And you're lucky that that pain hasn't destroyed your spirit.

I'm 35 years old.

I'll never run again or have kids.

It doesn't matter.

What? Potion, pill, drug, or shot they come up with. My cock will never be

heartache. Besides,

you never had to kill a man. You never rolled in Phil's shoes.

Kill the man?

No, please.

Phil never saw combat.

He spent his entire career in administrative services and logistics.

That's the first I've heard of that official.

That's bullshit.

They got a name for people who walk around lying and bragging about killing

people. Hey, I didn't explicitly say that I killed someone, Jeb.

No, I'm high.

As a matter of fact, this is some good stuff. Where did we get this from?

Yeah,

you.

Yeah, back to you. Back to you.

I know what you told me, Phil. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty damn sure

it. Yeah.

That was the weed talking.

The blue diamond.

The weed told you a story about an insurgency on base camp.

How Phil saved ten men, including himself, as he dove across a

typewriter and grabbed a live grenade out of the air and threw it out of

way, singing...

My country, tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

You don't know shit about me.

Hey, I know what you don't have. You don't have a purple heart.

A purple heart?

Desert Storm.

I know you're one to rob an old lady.

You hate your life so much, you tell freaking lies to make your stinking life

more tolerable. You freaking coward. Coward? I am no coward. I enlisted and

shoved my time, asshole.

You're a coward. Come here. Come here. Calm down.

Calm down.

Calm down, Ray. And give up the new

diamond.

That doesn't sound like a prescription, Hank. Be careful.

You gotta

admit, it's been different since she's gotten here.

Y 'all answers just didn't realize how hungry y 'all was till she got here.

No, Hank. No.

She's brought sunshine back into my life.

Back into this home.

Can I see that?

Thanks, Hank.

I

can't believe

you.

They look nice.

Look nice?

Yes. Why are you out there getting them haircuts?

Now, I got a guy that does that. He comes by every two months.

Exactly. That's too long.

Plus, they enjoy the outing. They look good. They look like handsome young men.

Handsome young men.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even Hank.

Yeah, the fabulous one.

Hank could look like a handsome young man if you put shoulder pads on.

That's exactly what you need.

That's nice to see you smile.

I thought you lost that somewhere.

I still got some laughs to me. That ain't changed.

You won't forget that.

Well, you should see them. I'll call them up.

Hey, guys!

Hey, hey, no!

Stop it now.

What?

You know what? I appreciate you being here, but now you're doing too much.

It's just too much.

What happened to you?

I told you, my surgery.

No.

What happened to you?

What happened? What happened to your kindness?

What are you talking about?

You're so mean.

You're just mean.

You're mean.

To everybody.

You're mean to the guys. You're mean to me. You're mean to anybody that you come

in contact with.

Look, I do what I have to do to get by.

Being mean doesn't have anything to do with getting by.

Well, you have no idea what my life is like in here.

Well, won't you tell me?

Really, we're the only ones left, Peter. It's just you and me.

That's it.

It's none of your business.

Well, I'll make it my business.

You're my brother.

My God, we are literally the only ones left.

You and me.

You got your kids.

No, but they're not you.

They're not you, Peter.

They're not you. They're their uncle.

And you avoid them.

You don't.

Show up at graduations, you don't respond at Christmas.

You know, they stop asking.

You don't know anything.

You don't know nothing about me.

I know you got those tenants.

And their families avoid them.

And you see the effect that it has on them.

And you do that same thing to me.

You push us away.

Well, enough of this.

Enough of all this drama and this nosiness.

You know, I know what this is, Ruth.

You're bored.

If you want to take care of a man so bad, why don't you get your husband,

I had one.

I left him, remember?

That's not what I heard.

You sure about that?

Oh, I'm sure.

I left for me.

I left because I was unhappy.

After five kids and 25 years of marriage, I wanted to be happy.

I want to see the sun.

I want to spend time with people I care about.

I was a young...

Your choices. Mm -hmm. It's your life. It's your choices. But you're talking

about me, and this is my life and my choices. You see how this works? Yeah, I

do, and I choose to live.

I choose to live life and not stay stuck in a dark room, scared of life.

You know something?

All my life, I've been doubted.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, doubted.

Second, yeah. Looked at with suspicion. No, Peter.

Not by me.

Yeah. By you. No. Yeah, by you. And, like, life locked its doors on me a long

time ago with people like you and people like them scared of me trying to tell

me how I should live. Peter, I'm not afraid of you.

not afraid of you and life is not against you in the end i'm the one

the burden of trying to paint this picture that pleases everybody while you

stare at me just like you're doing right now with them tight lips like you're

sucking on some sour candy you know what the bottom line is this all

my life all my life i've been doubted second guess looked at with suspicion

Look, I never asked you for anything.

The only thing I ever asked you for was your love. And that is it.

Well, one thing I know about my life is that my generosity was expected and then

you demanded it. And I don't owe you shit.

Bottom line is people don't appreciate the shit I do for them.

Yeah. The more I give, the more they take.

Whether it's my time, my money, my love, my house.

You know what? I don't take advantage of you.

I don't take advantage of your money, your time.

All I ever asked you for was your love. But you know what, Peter?

I can't.

I just, I can't.

I can't.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold on. Walk out on that. Walk out on this. I've been giving and sacrificing

whole life for it. You know that.

But where you standing at, this is my corner of the world.

And I'm going to give, all right?

Give just enough for me.

Great.

You do that.

This is very beautiful, I do have to admit.

And you got to admit, I look pretty great.

You look pretty good. I think great is a stretch.

You know, Ruth, I don't do this often, but I owe you an apology.

I said some things about you.

And got upset when you took the guys for their cuts and shaves.

And I talked about you a little bit.

Like you told them we smoked a joint?

What?

Yeah, I'm sorry. That was supposed to be between us. Yeah, you're right. It was

supposed to be.

But you know what? I smoked a joint for all of you.

What?

Wait, I didn't see you smoke with them. And they didn't see me smoke with you.

It was our thing. It was my moment with you guys.

Hmm. So what do you do for a living?

All you need to know is that I'm Peter.

Plus, you got a big mouth. You're a Tabitha.

Yeah.

Touché. So what about you? What's your story, Phil?

How come you don't like to talk about your daughter?

I miss her.

And it hurts.

Yeah.

I understand.

I know you love her.

You think so?

Oh, yeah.

That's why you get so emotional every time somebody brings her up.

It's painful.

I have daughters.

I think my oldest is 25, and my youngest is 18.

And I would really love for her to come to school in Massachusetts.

But, you know, I don't think Peter wants her to come out here.

How the hell was Peter?

Oh, it's her choice.

Besides, Mount Holyoke is right up the road.

Where did your daughter go to school?

Amherst. What?

Get out.

Full ride academic scholarship.

Oh, impressive.

And after my injury, I fell into a bad depression.

I didn't feel like the man I needed to be.

Here I am with a nerve disorder that makes it impossible for me to walk.

And her, getting ready to take over the world.

I was injured in a fishing accident at work.

I didn't know you were a fisherman.

Oh, I will always be a fisherman.

Like my father and my grandfather, Salty.

Wow.

And after my injury, I could do nothing to help Quanisha go to school.

Cornisa.

Yeah, her mom's from Roxbury.

Cornisa. Oh, okay.

Hold up. You got a problem with that? No, not at all. I love it.

And there she was.

An amherst around all of these able -bodied folks with wealth and prestige.

I felt like an embarrassment to her.

What? Did she say that?

Well, no, but... But I felt that way.

So, because of how you felt, you put it on Quanisha.

That's not fair.

No, you're right.

And that is what Quanisha is made of.

She comes from a long line of strong, hard -working men from South Boston.

You can't rob her of her heritage and a rich heritage.

Well, she doesn't care about those rich kids running around her school.

She comes from the thought of the earth.

Well, in your case, the thought of the sea.

That's something she can be proud of.

I never thought of it that way. I know.

Hey, thank you.

Church would be very proud of him.

The birds in tone echo a melody.

They're taking advantage of you, all right?

That's what you've got to see. That's what these guys do.

They take advantage. They just take and they take and they take. They never want

to give you anything in return.

They take advantage of people like you. People like me.

We're the victims here.

All they do is use.

You just got a weak link. That's all you got.

Just, just, just.

Take your ass home back to Atlanta.

Go stay in a hotel. Do whatever you got to do.

But you can't stay here anymore.

I need things to get back to the way they were.

I know you're used to trying to help people, but you can't help everybody.

I'll be fine. Just go.

Please. For your own good.

Just go.

Just go, Ruth.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Ruth!

Ruth!

Come here for a minute!

Hey.

Where have you been?

I took Phil to get a shave and a haircut.

Look, I told you.

I told you not to get too close to these guys.

You were always so protective of me and Mommy when we were kids.

That's the only reason he stopped you now.

I remember you stepping between

Mom and Dad until we stopped.

And then you nurture Mom, and you tend to me,

rub me on my head, and make me feel so safe.

But things change.

People change.

Your nurturing spirit is what molded my life.

It's one of the many things that I learned from you.

It's your kindness, your nurturing spirit, are my protector, my

big brother.

I'm glad I could help.

Is that what happened to you?

You didn't have anyone to nurture you?

Oh, Ruth, you can kill all this after -school special nonsense, all right?

Your line is coming back next week.

I know. I know. You told me like a thousand times already.

The hot dog meatloaf lady. The crazy Jamaican.

I know.

It's like, really, Peter?

Look, anyway... No, it's like, didn't you guys already have a falling out?

That's behind us.

Now, you have a... No, no, no, no. You had a week left.

There's no need for you to worry about me or the rest of the guys anymore.

Starting right now, you can take your ass back to Atlanta.

Are you firing me?

Like, now?

Like, you're telling me to go right now, Peter? I took off a whole month to be

here to help you!

Yeah, you know what? Fine, Peter.

Fine.

You really hurt my feelings.

Well, don't look at it like that.

Let's get behind this door.

I really hope you find what you need.

Well, thank you.

For everything.

But I got everything under control.

Thank you.

You really hurt my heart.

Hey, Ray, get up. It's time to go. Get dressed.

Go?

Go where?

To the funeral.

We're all going. We're ready for you.

I told you I'm not going. I meant it.

Oh, yeah, you are going. You're going to pay your respects.

We're all going to pay our respects.

Get up. Get dressed.

You didn't even know that asshole.

It doesn't matter.

He was your father.

That's all that matters.

So everyone's downstairs.

The guys are waiting.

Let's go, get dressed.

It's a private matter.

Okay, well, if you don't want us there, we will wait in the van, but we're

going. I told you I'm not going, goddammit. Now leave me alone.

Okay,

get dressed.

I don't need the fellas to come.

Well, like I said, don't wait in the van if you don't want to sit inside.

But they're going.

They want to.

Get up. Get dressed.

It's safe.

Come on.

Oh,

okay.

Hurry up. Yeah.

What the hell are you doing here?

Huh?

I'm talking to you.

What are you doing here?

You could have gone, right? They asked you, right?

Could have gone.

Showed your support for Ray.

But no.

Not old Phil, right?

Not old cripple -ass Phil.

No, you want to stay here.

Soak.

Soak your life away.

Huh?

Same reason that you didn't go, Peter.

You got to be a smart -ass all the time, don't you?

So since the man who sits back there in the dock, the man who runs people away

as soon as he feels that they're being too nice to us?

I'm just not going to let you and these other three losers take advantage of

Ruth. Oh, I wouldn't worry about that too much, Peter.

You know, in case you hadn't noticed, you know, Ruth is just one of those

that wants to love somebody.

And you're one of those people that takes. And you take, and you take, and

never give a goddamn thing in return.

So that's the reason why you treat me and the other guys like shit.

But you know what, Peter? You take our money every single month. Look, I

you a place to stay.

Me and the government didn't work that out.

It ain't got nothing to do with me liking you and the rest of these sorry

of bitches.

But the bottom line is you could have went.

You could have went and showed some support for your friends.

But now, what you do?

You just sat here, smoked your damn life away.

What?

And Ruth is your representative at the funeral?

Huh?

Huh?

That her presence is enough and you don't need to go and show your support.

Oh, trust me, Peter.

We know who Ruth is.

And I damn sure know who you are.

What the hell with you?

Too late.

Hell?

I'm already here.

Besides, you know I'm the last person I really want to see this father's

funeral.

Thank you guys for coming, but like I said, this is a private matter.

It's fine. We'll wait in the car.

You sure, Ray?

How long are we going to wait?

I'd like to welcome you all to these services for our friend,

Walter Sephardi.

Although this is a solemn affair, we've come to celebrate this man and the

family legacy and the friends he's left behind.

At the request of his wife, Eva, I'll ask that you read over the obituary

on your own.

And after I've concluded, you'll have time to extend your condolences to her

and any family in attendance.

I believe he has a son as well.

Walter has indeed left not only a family legacy, but a legacy of impact.

His sense of humor was unmatched, his zestful life contagious.

He loved his son Ray, and he cherished his wife Eva.

He'll be missed.

Friends, I believe if Walter were here today, he'd ask that I conclude.

So that I will do.

He was a man of few words after all.

So please continue to socialize and visit with one another. And please speak

our beloved Eva.

And afterwards, you're free to leave knowing that you're loved by God.

And you're loved.

By Walter.

Hi.

I'm Ruth, a friend of Ray's.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Thank you.

George, you're the nurse who works at the home where Ray is living.

I believe I spoke with you when I called about Ray's father.

I did speak with you on the phone, but I'm not a nurse.

I see.

You don't look familiar.

Well, Ray said that you've never visited him at the home.

Yes, I'm guilty.

As I'm sure Ray told you.

Because he did so many things.

I'm sorry. I did not mean to imply...

It's all right.

So, how's Ray doing at the home?

Has he made any friends? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's made a few, including me.

that's more than he's ever had.

Yeah.

Well, um... He and his brother, they were really close, right?

They were.

I don't think it was a good thing, though.

Really?

I would think it's a...

Great thing to love your brother, your family, right?

Our families tend to lose the things we love.

What did you say you do at the home?

I'm the cook.

You seem to offer more than that.

We said you guys moved around a lot when he was young.

Some, but not a lot.

But that's probably why Ray has been angry at the world.

Angry at me.

And his father.

Well, I'm sure it's not all his fault.

No.

Life has a way of doing that.

Yeah.

Well, again, I just wanted to say I'm really sorry for your loss.

Thank you. And it's nice to meet you.

Thank you.

Politics have never really been my thing.

So, what are you into? Sports?

Men and their sport?

Actually, I'm not really into sports either.

Then what?

Um, if I had to choose something, myself.

Yes, finding myself.

Self -actual. I see.

I lost myself some years ago.

Who I was.

My purpose in life.

So, I'm off to rediscover that.

What about you? My interest?

Besides vodka?

I'm anxious to see how my divorce ends. Ooh, been there.

Divorce?

Hmm. And I should have bought stock in Grey Goose.

So about tonight, literally.

Lisa, it's time to go.

Hank, this is Susan.

Susan, this is Hank.

How do you two know each other?

We're roommates.

Oh, I see.

Well, that's okay.

I'm a very progressive person.

You're pretty cute.

We live in an assisted living home for disabled veterans.

Wow.

What is it? What did you say your name was? Susan?

Susan. My name is Susan. Okay. We're getting ready to go.

You should too.

Well, maybe we can keep in touch.

No, I don't think so.

Oh, looks like you two are having some fun.

Jeb has some stray cat coming home soon.

Is that right?

Yes. But she said I was cute. You are cute.

I mean, like, we've just been the best people ever.

Sorry,

Ray.

You called it soup.

To say soup.

Look,

I don't know what the hell this is, but I'm not eating it.

My mom is from Romania.

I know soup.

Soup over the burda is soup.

Soup over the parasol is soup.

Chicken noodle soup is soup. You will eat it or you'll be taking your

on an empty stomach, you understand?

Honey, will Ray even have a stomach after eating this? Look, I know battery

when I see it.

My mom is from Romania.

We eat soup every day of our lives. Sometimes for breakfast, lunch, and

I tell you, this is not soup.

What the fuck?

Olive green substance.

Yolanda called, too.

It affects us to eat it.

Here we go with this crap, lady. Are you going to cook us some real food or just

serve us some more of the same?

You know what? Your asses are spoiled.

I got to get you back to where you were. Okay?

Yeah.

That ain't going to happen. I'll pack up and leave first.

Right. Now, are you going to fix us a decent meal or not?

Who is this?

Hi.

My name is Hank.

Yeah.

Hank Pearl Jr., I'm looking for my father. Is this 5489?

Did you say 5489? Yeah.

Yeah.

Hank Jr.? You know what? Come on in.

Little Hank, this is Phil, and that's Ray.

What are you doing here?

I needed to talk to you.

We should probably give them some privacy, fellas. Come on, Phil.

You know, I've been going through a

lot lately.

Does your mom know you're here?

I got a lot going here, and I really needed to talk to you. I called you a

thousand times, and I just want to know, what did I do?

Did you divorce me, too? No, son. Look, I didn't think it was appropriate to

talk to you since me and your mom's going through such a terrible time.

That doesn't make any sense.

It's been five years.

So you just left me there.

To deal with her by myself. Look, don't talk about your mom like that. You know

mommy is crazy.

Look, hey.

Hey, how have you been? Enough about her.

Not so good on one hand, but great on the other.

Well, explain.

You finished school.

Power's on your radar?

Yeah, but not right now. I want to take a year off and travel.

What do you mean travel?

Where are you going to go?

Across the U .S.

Maybe even Europe.

Where are you going to get that money to travel?

Better yet, who are you going with?

That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

Well, you know, I don't have any money to give you. You don't have any money to

give me?

You don't have any time to talk to me? I don't...

I don't want either. Look, what do you want?

I want your blessing.

Blessing?

What are you talking about?

His name is John, and we want to see the world together. Okay, okay. Wait a

minute.

John? Yeah, my... My friend.

Well, son, you don't need my blessing to love someone.

You don't care that I'm... No, hey, you guys need to get a life.

Guys.

Mother thinks that...

Look, listen.

I don't care what she thinks.

You'd be happy.

You.

I thought that you would disown me or something. Listen.

I don't care what she thinks.

You'd be happy.

You.

Dad, you have taken a weight off of my shoulders. When you didn't call me back,

I thought that mother had said something. I don't care.

I don't care what she says, man.

You be happy.

We leave for California tomorrow.

Oh, California?

I love California.

It may kill you or give you an extreme case of diarrhea.

Bye,

Dad.

Bye.

It was nice to meet you guys.

See you, little thing.

This was a good thing, Hank.

Don't blame me.

My son wanted my advice.

It's a hell of a thing, man.

Eh, not really.

You'll always be his father.

Mr. Advice with another opinion.

Yes, I am his father.

It's a very humbling moment for me.

This was a good thing.

Why didn't you tell him you're gay?

What's right?

Well, he wasn't here to talk about me.

He wanted my blessing to live his life.

Why don't we clean this place up?

Yeah, let's do that.

All right, y 'all need to go back here and finish eating this food now.

Ain't nobody eating this that's young.

Does

anyone

see Ruth?

Ruth left last night.

What?

You knew, Phil, and you didn't say anything?

That's right.

Yeah, that's right.

Ruth left last night.

Man, quite a sad face.

It's time for things to get back to normal.

Normal?

What's normal for you, Crypt Keeper, sitting back there in the dock?

Huh?

You know, I'm about tired of you.

You better start watching who you're talking to.

What are you going to do, Peter? Throw him out?

You need us as much as we need you.

You just couldn't give her another week, could you? You just had to give her.

What do you think, Jeff?

What do you think, my sister was going to sit around here forever?

Well, who knows what she could have done with another week.

At least she put a smile on all our faces.

And she put a smile on my heart, Peter.

Now, I'm never going back to where I was.

Back to normal.

Yeah. Yeah, Hank.

And you know what? I think I've run my course here. You can't grow in a place

like this.

You want to grow?

You want to grow all of a sudden?

Well, where are you going to do all this growing, Jay?

Where are you going to go back to that wife who don't want you?

Huh?

Well,

you know what?

Away from here.

Away from here, Peter.

Hey, you want to know something else? I think you're more depressed than all of

us.

Yeah, well, you signed a 12 -month lease, so you can leave.

You know, it's a good point, but I'm counting the days.

Hey, you want to know something else your sister said about you? That you

even want the sun to shine in your room. I mean, what kind of man are you,

Peter?

Sat there in the dock, yelling out order.

You know, I can't tell you how many times I wanted to kick your ass.

I guess I should be moving on, too.

I'll put a college and a VA to locate me another home.

Oh, you done grown and set, too, Ray? Huh?

Well, where are you going to go? What do they call it?

Explosive anger disorders?

And what else you got?

Mommy issues?

Hey, hey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we know what, he just like him over there.

You smoke too much weed.

Just the same.

I'll have them look.

Back to normal?

You must be really sick.

Well, I'm gonna miss Ruth.

You remember that day she took us to get those fresh haircuts?

And I got the hot valve facial treatment.

You know, my skin hasn't felt that great since.

You remember, right?

She was going to get the newspaper.

And the next thing you know, she's screaming, here comes the sun!

Here comes the sun!

Scared the shit out of me.

Do you remember, Ray?

I remember.

You were standing right there in the door, just laughing and smiling.

What you guys don't know about that day is

I really didn't feel like leaving the house.

I really didn't want a haircut.

Or the hot, artificial treatment.

I was feeling down.

Feeling sorry for myself.

I was really feeling depressed.

But the smile on Ruth's face when she saw the sun.

Man, oh man.

I mean, it gave her life.

That's where I felt her energy go, right through my body.

And I hadn't had a smile or a rush of energy like that

in a long, long time.

I needed that.

Ruth did that for me.

Ruth did that for me.

And the way she screamed, here comes the sun!

I thought the house was on fire.

Hey, Peter, how can anyone return to the dark after they've been kissed by the

sun?

Come on.

No, no, no. Write a book about it. Write a book about it. I don't want to hear

it. It's like winning.

75 degrees outside and you're traveling 35 nautical miles an hour in the middle

of the sea.

Who's it addressed to, Jeff?

Hey, it's addressed to me.

From a Judge Meadows from Allegheny County, Georgia.

I don't know anybody from Georgia.

It's from Luke.

I love your heart.

She's a chief judge.

Get it right.

Okay.

She's an elected official in Georgia.

Hold up, hold up.

Ruth is a judge in Georgia the way that she cared for us?

Wait a second. I thought she was from Connecticut. I wondered how she knew I

a Southie. No, no, no. She's from here.

She's my sister.

You know, she told me one time she got her kindness from me.

You tell

them, Peter.

Tell them how things will be if they stay.

Convince them you've got your kindness back.

Hey, guys.

There's a letter in here. Ruth sent me a letter.

And some phones. I want one. Hold on.

Dear Jeff.

That's me.

I want you guys to know you changed my life in ways I cannot explain.

I hope you all give Peter a chance to show you his kindness and his greatness.

He covered me in love my entire life.

Pray that he gets back on track.

The cell phones?

Call your sons and your daughters and your family.

They need you all as I needed you.

Don't ever give up on love.

It's the only thing worth living for.

Sincerely, Ruth.

All rise for the Honorable Ruth Meadows presiding.

Please be seated.

Satsang with Mooji

Hey, Ruth, this is Peter.

Oh, she's not in. Who is this?

Grace.

Yeah, Grace, this is your Uncle Peter.

I hope it is a pleasant surprise.

Yeah, yeah, I will.

I will try hard to make it to your graduation.

Yeah.

I mean, of course.

Of course you can visit the university here.

That would be great.

I like that very much.

Is that great?

Grace me a hand for you.

On we go, where we'll stop.

No one knows, searching for the love we longed for.

On the quest for happiness.

Truth in the light.

Near or far or deep or wide.

I hold a bank position for July.

If you're looking for sunshine, I don't know where that would be daylight.
