Who's there?

- Raymond - "Raymond" who?

How many Raymonds do you know, Ray?

Our father is dead

By his own hand?

No, not by his own He was sick, for Chrissake

Can I come in?

Put the gun away, Ray You know I don't like guns

Then you shouldn't knock on people's doors in the middle of the night

Well, I tried to call, but your phone was dead

I'm behind on bills

You want, uh, something to drink?

Coffee

Coffee

When was I last here? Three years?

After Athena's surgery

Oh, that'd be five

Really? Shit

So, who called you about the old man?

I mean, who even talks to him anymore?

Uh, Reverend West, his pastor

Harris has a pastor? Are you shitting me?

Yeah His last wish was that his sons attend his funeral

It's tomorrow, Ray Outside of Richmond

You don't have to go

He's dead He'll never know

You're a very tender man, you know that?

So what's your plan?

I'll leave early, before dawn, but, uh, I can't alone

I I don't I don't have a license, Ray

I got a DUI

I had two beers

The first time I've been pulled over in 20 years

I had to drive here tonight 'cause I couldn't reach you,

but if I get stopped, I could be in deep shit

Why doesn't your wife just drive you?

We're on the rocks

She left me in December

Ho, ho, ho

Why did you say "by his own hand" before?

Why would he kill himself?

I guess I just always thought he would

Such a bitter son of a bitch Frustrated

Everything he touched turned to shit

Just thought he'd put himself to sleep one day

I fantasized about it my whole childhood,

him putting a gun in his mouth and blowing off the top of his head

Jesus

You're really gonna go?

After the things he did to you?

You still working at the plant?

No Fired

For what?

I don't know Some altercation

"Altercation"? Fancy

If I asked the other guy, would he use that word?

Hmm, it's difficult for him to speak with no teeth and all

What was it about?

Nothing

What was it about, Ray?

Uh

Uh, he used the N-word I told him not to It escalated

Wh-What are you doing for work now?

Construction Here and there

I have two days this week,

which is another great reason to skip a funeral

I saw a woman leaving earlier She a keeper?

You playing any gigs?

Nah, I haven't played a gig in forever

Why not? You're sounding good

I don't play anymore

I heard you when I was knocking on the door

- No - I heard it

I don't have any horns anymore Sold 'em

You sold your horns?

It's okay

No work and no horns? Sounds like dicey territory

I'm fine Still clean, going on seven years

Wow, that's great I-I'm proud of you

What, is this where we hug?

- Hug this - Oh, fuck

You know, he does have other wives

You can get them to go

Nah

Remember that Serbian woman? B Branka

Branka Oh, wow Good memory Shit, she was hot

I must have jerked off to her a hundred times and so did you

- No, I was too busy getting laid - Oh, you're full of shit

- How did he get himself women like that? - He could be funny when he wanted to be

Does whipping our asses with his belt count as funny?

'Cause if it does, he was a hoot

Ray

I wanna be there

Not because he asked, but because I want to

I wanna know what it looks like to put him underground,

what it feels like

But I'm scared it's gonna kick my ass

Come with me

J Wait one second

Oh, really, is that necessary?

You never know

Keys You got it

Where are we?

'Bout a hour and a half out

I was having a dream I was in a natural history museum

There was one of those theater-like windows

Remember those?

The naked cavemen killing a man with Your mom used to take us

Mmm, no That was your mom

My mom hated that place Said it gave her the creeps

No Didn't your mo mom…

Oh, maybe you're right Uh, anyway…

I'm in the museum and Dad Harris is one of the prehistoric men

Yeah

So I'm tryna break the glass, tryna get him out, tryna free him

But I look down, and… …I'm naked too, like the other cavemen

What do you think it means?

Means it's gonna take a whole lot more than a hole in the ground

to get the old man out of your head

It's hard to imagine him as a little boy

His father was a monster to him We repeat We repeat

- We don't have to - Yeah, but we do

It's the law of the land

Mmm Were you a monster to your boy?

Oh, hey I'm sorry

Hello? Reverend West?

How are you?

Yeah, we're on the road Uh, do we come straight to you, or…

All right

You can give him this number

- That it for you? - Yep

- It's a cool store - Thanks

Is it yours?

Yeah, right Do I look like a boss lady to you?

Yeah, you sure do

It's like most girls in the South

- So, like, I decided to rebel a little - Really?

That is amazing

What was that about in there?

Nothing

They just come to you, don't they?

Like flies to shit

Reverend West called

How long have they even known each other?

I mean, Dad died alone, I bet

This guy just stepped in to make it all a little less desperate and depressing

And this is what the end looks like when you've alienated everyone

And now they've called us in to be the shills

You don't have any good memories of him?

I have some I wish I didn't

Why?

Hello? Raymond

This is Mr Canfield from Remembrance Funeral Homes

Oh, yes Hi

First off, let me say that I am very sorry for your loss

Well, thank you

I met your father briefly a couple of years ago,

when he was making arrangements

Very charismatic A sensitive soul

My condolences

Wh-What kind of arrangements?

He wanted to have an open casket

Um, that requires embalming, of course, and we need to start on that right away

if we want to have an early afternoon viewing,

which is what he requested

Okay

The thing is, your father prepaid for the casket and the headstone

and a deposit on the embalming, but he never paid the balance

- I know in this difficult moment it's - How much is it?

- I'm sorry? - That's my brother, Ray

Here

Uh, nice to meet you, sir I'm sorry for your loss

How much is it?

All in, with taxes, it's $475, and that includes cosmetic work

Wh-Whoa, you talking 'bout makeup?

Yes We would like to prepare him so that the experience is as rewarding

Yeah, that's a bullshit expense We don't need that

We don't need to see him

Excuse me, I didn't I didn't catch that

Please, go ahead with it We'll settle up when we get there

Also, a Mr Mendez, your father's attorney,

called earlier to see how things were going

- And I will text you his number now - Okay, thank you very much

See you soon

Harris's attorney?

I mean, $500? Can you afford that?

No, but we only do this funeral once

- Let's do it right - But I can't afford it

- I'm not gonna pay - I'll do it, Ray

Is that all right with you?

Jesus Christ

Pu Put it on speaker

Max Mendez

Yes Uh, Mr Mendez, my name's Raymond

M Uh, my father was Ben Harris

- Yes I'm very sorry for your loss - Thank you

Your father was an exemplary man A very charming man too

Yeah, he will be missed I am sure of it

You You wanted to talk with us?

Yes Unfortunately, I have another client waiting for me

Um, could you come by a little later? There are some things to go over

Is your brother Ray with you?

Yes

- Good 11:00? - 11:00 is good

I will text you my address And as your father used to say, à bientôt

À bientôt?

You remember he made us go to those French lessons,

and then he changed his mind and pulled us out?

I really enjoyed those

Thank you

Sorry

Sorry

I'm looking for Mr Canfield

- Hi That's me - Oh

You're Mr Raymond Harris?

- Yeah - Hi Pleased to meet you

- This is Ray - Hi

Rose, find out how long until Mr Harris is ready

I'm very sorry for your loss

So, you have a good trip?

Y-Yes, thank you

Mmm, where do you make your home?

Couple hundred miles from here

Mmm You resemble your father

Mr Harris will be ready in a few minutes

Felix will come looking for you

Great In the meantime,

I want to show you the casket that your father pre-selected

If you'll follow me this way

Thanks

Um, if you don't mind waiting right here, I'll be right with you

Really?

The cheapest man who ever lived

I believe it wasn't a matter of cost

I offered him discounts on other caskets, but he insisted

He said it was his favorite thing about being a Jew,

the humility of the casket,

which brings me to my question

I know he was close with Reverend West,

but perhaps you would also like a rabbi to attend?

- That won't be necessary - No Our father was not a Jew

- He converted for 30 minutes once… - Right

…and No, and he was still miserable

No rabbi Thank you

Mr Harris is ready

I'm sorry for your loss

I worked on him a little

He was quite, um, emaciated

Yeah Well, thank you

How'd he die?

Well, you would have to speak with his physician about that,

but I believe the death certificate mentioned congestive heart failure

and cancer of the lung

Y-Your father's wish was to be buried naked inside the casket

I suggest he wear a shirt for the viewing, if you could provide one

Will you be expecting a large group of people?

Why, I don't think so

Well, we'll leave you alone with him

When did you last see him?

Maybe at one of your weddings

Oh, he only came to my wedding with… with Marsha

Yeah

He called your brother-in-law a retard, remember?

Then your father-in-law almost attacked him

I mean, that reception was one punch from a shit show

It wasn't like that Don't rewrite history, Ray

Was he always this little? What's this shit about being buried naked?

He was always such an exhibitionist

His dick is still bigger than ours

It was really something seeing him lying there like that

He's really gone now I feel it

I feel good about it Letting it go

Forgiveness is good

Come in Come in, men

So good to finally meet you, to put faces to the names

- Well, thank you for meeting with us - Of course Sit, please

Coffee? Water?

- No, we're good - No, thanks

You know, it's funny I heard him say so many times,

"My sons, my children, my boys "

How, um How long did you know our father?

About seven years

I represented a man who was suing him for slander

- Huh - And my client won that case

Your father was so impressed by my work

that he hired me to help him sue the city of Bon Air

For what?

Christmas wreaths on City Hall

He said it violated the separation of church and state

How could he even afford you?

I worked for him pro bono

Your father was a great conversationalist, a ferocious debater

Not sophisticated necessarily, but tireless

I would pay him just to hear him gripe about the world the way he did

Okay Your father's last will

He leaves all his assets, it's about $5200 in a checking account,

to be divided equally among his sons that attend the funeral

I know it doesn't sound like much,

but maybe it can help with the funeral expenses

Travel expenses, perhaps

Or you can throw a reception for the attendees afterwards

It's up to you

Your father also left you some personal items at his home

Here is his address

And, uh, Ms Delgado will be there all day

- Ms Delgado? - Yes, sir

And lastly, it was also your father's wish that you dig his grave

What?

That his sons dig his grave on their own, without machinery

Shovels are fine, of course

And then, you are to lower the casket into the ground and cover the grave again

- What an asshole - No, Ray

- No… - No, no Is this even allowed?

The cemetery must accommodate all faiths

Your father claimed his Tongan roots demanded it

'Cause of our Tongan roots

- Yeah - Here's the permit

When you get there, please identify yourselves to the funeral director

so that you can dig

Make sure to bring a valid driver's license

Hi We're, uh, Harris's sons

I'm sorry for your loss

Thank you

What is that?

- What? - What you did

Oh D Nothing

It looks like something What is it for?

I-It's just a bad habit

It makes you feel better?

It's all good You are safe here

Your father's room is upstairs, the last room

I'm cooking something

- Lucia - Ah I'm Raymond

- This is - Raymond and Ray

You're safe here, buddy

What's that?

His little altar to himself

Hey, look at this

Who the hell are they?

I don't know

Are you guys hungry?

Oh, no no We're We're We're fine, thank you

- We're good, thanks - Thanks

I'll get your boxes

Oh, look The moms So beautiful

Before he sucked the lifeblood out of them

Fuck

Hey, it's just like Christmas

Yeah, except we're not kids

Are we not?

We're a couple of grown-ass men whose lives didn't pan out

- Don't say that - Mmm, it's the truth

Hey, you're pissing me off

- Whoo! Easy, horse - Hey, fuck you, Ray

- Don't say my life hasn't panned out! - I like you angry About fucking time

Oh, n Thank you

Thank you

Looks good

Mm-hmm

Mmm This is delicious

I know

How long have you worked here?

It's my house

Oh

I love the way you've set it up

Very free-spirited and and yet still sensible

Thank you

Was Harris your tenant?

No My ex-husband and I had a car wash

Harris came to the store for cigarettes

He was older, but he was friendly and a good listener

We were lovers for a while Then we stayed friends

And when he got sick last year, I moved him in

He looked at that picture of you guys at the lake all the time

I said to him, "Why don't you call these boys?

They can visit you "

He said no

He said, "The boys and the men were not the same thing "

Is it one of yours?

Yeah

Uh-huh

He took it from me after one of our big fights,

summer of senior year

He told me he pawned it

Must have scoured every pawn shop in the States

I mean, he was always an asshole to me, but that was the beginning of the end

What was the fight about?

I have no idea

He had that cleaned and fixed just a few weeks ago

I had no idea you thought my life was shit

- That's not what I said - I heard what you said

- You said my life hadn't panned out… - I

- …which is one way of calling out failure - No, I

- I like things the way I like them - I

Steady

Maybe that makes me boring or lazy

It cost me my marriages I know that

Olive said I was more interested in air conditioning than I was in her

The first time Marsha saw me ironing a perfect shirt,

she burst into tears thinking I was gay

I like my peace and quiet

If that means my life didn't pan out, then it didn't pan out

I'm okay I sleep like a baby

We come from chaos

I hope everything is satisfactory

Mmm

Yeah, it's fine Thank you It looks good

We will have to begin our move to the cemetery

in about an hour and a half

in order to make his desired time for the burial at sunset,

allowing for the time to dig

Mr Mendez spoke with you both

about your father's wishes with respect to that?

He did

I think we'll be fine

Oh, goody

- Excuse me - Sorry

Bonnie Michael

- Who's Michael? - Oh

Uh, it's often uncomfortable for mourners to be the first to arrive

and find an empty room

You know, the deceased by himself

So, sometimes we, you know, place a couple of people just to sit in

At At no cost to the family, of course

And then, as the room begins to gradually fill,

they will step out discreetly

- Great - Yep

Um, I'll need you to sign some documents in my office, though

Um, yeah, and I'll need your driver's license

Try not to fuck the funeral home receptionist

at our own father's viewing

Okay, I'll try

You're cold as ice, Pops

All right, thank you You can go Thanks Shoo

Unfortunately, I can't stay longer

Oh, don't worry Thank you so much for coming

No, I'm happy to be here Yeah

That didn't sound right, huh?

Look at you You have a good smile It's open It does not lie

Oh

Are you married? Kids?

I'm separated Um, twice divorced before that

Wow

And… how many kids?

Oh, um… I have a son

He's in the Army, um…

And uh Wh

You don't want to talk about him?

No, it's fine

How long are you guys in town?

If you need a place to sleep, his room is available, of course

Oh, thank you

But I don't think I could sleep in that room

Why?

The hospital bed is gone

and everything's going to the Salvation Army or to the trash

- Is that what he wanted? - Yeah

He left everyone something, and that's it The rest must go

Oh

But if you want anything like, I don't know,

photos of you guys or your moms, it's okay for me

Hi

I will see you later

Yeah, okay

Mmm

Do I know you?

I don't think so

You sure?

Yeah

So why you look at me like that when I walk by?

Like what?

- You think I enjoy it? - No, I

I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from

Wait, you, um You reminded me of someone

Oh, you think I should be flattered, is that it?

- I'm sorry about gawking at you out there - That was a crappy thing to do

Yes, crappy and creepy

Well, I will endeavor to stop behaving like an asshole

- Okay - Okay

I'm Ray That's my father, Harris

Kiera

I was one of his nurses at St Anne's

My condolences

You always come to your patient's funerals?

- No - Huh

He asked me to

He said it gave him comfort to know I'd be here, and I'm happy to do it

Something about your father captured me

A very old soul Haunted

What was he like as a father?

The worst

Huh I wouldn't have guessed that

But then again, no one was there towards the end except his friend Lucia

So, that explains that

- Are you having a burial? - Oh, yeah

We're digging the grave ourselves, my brother and I His final request

Why would he want you to do that?

Mmm Your guess is as good as mine

- What's yours? - Trying to screw with our heads

Exercise his power over us for as long as possible

You can always refuse

Yeah We didn't

Well, then it worked

He was ready to go Even declined painkillers

He wanted to go out with all his senses

I think music helped him get through a lot of it

He'd He'd put on his earbuds and plug into his phone and close his eyes

and weather the pain

I asked him, I said I said, "What music is that?"

He said, "Oh, it's a secret "

But at night, when I came in to check on him,

I could tell it was the same song over and over again

He'd fall asleep listening to it, when he could

What song?

Um… I don't know Something instrumental Bluesy, maybe

I should get going

Oh, uh Are you gonna be at the The cemetery later?

No, I-I-I wasn't planning on it

Oh, right

- Don't think I can - Of course not

Nice meeting you

Hey, I need you to call that Mendez, the lawyer, right?

I wanna find all Dad's personal belongings

You know, all the stuff he left at the hospital

- What for? - I just I want his cell phone

You won't be able to use it past the billing date

No, not It's fine, all right? Just call him

Thank you

Oh, fuck

Mr Mendez It's Raymond Yeah

Do you know what happened to our father's personal effects

a-a-at the hospital?

Okay, I We'll try that Thank you

- So, what'd he say? - He had no idea

- Ah, f - He said to ask

He said to ask Lucia She'll be at the cemetery

- All right Well, did you get her number? - What?

Wha Call him back Get her number

- What's up your ass? - Just do it

- Voice mail - Fuck!

You son of a bitch

You think you can laugh at me from hell, huh?

What the fuck do you know about music?

It takes you 80 years

to discover that it can help you through your pain, huh?

You moron

Don't fuck with me, Harris You'll regret it

Call me

God

Imagine if the moms were here now

- Uh, I'd rather not - Why?

They'd get all tangled up

Oh, not my mom

No, when she shed him off,

I think she shed him off for good, like changing skin

The shit he got away with I mean, can you imagine?

I mean, his wife and his lover become lifelong friends

It's like the Battered Wives Club

Well

He was just a guy, Ray

I mean, I know he could be a real asshole, and he could l-lose control, but

Well, he Shit things happened to him too

No, it's no excuse

You know, he should take responsibility for his own life

It's his life, his responsibility

Yeah, like our lives are our responsibility

Oh, God Why won't you point the finger at him?

- What good would that do now? - Just face the facts

- I face the facts - No, you don't

- Oh, fuck off - I mean, he fucked your wife

- Thanks for reminding me, Ray - What, you forgot?

Oh, fuck you! Fuck you! Pull over! Pull over

I'll walk the rest of the way and dig the fucking hole myself,

you piece of shit

Your anger, Ray I couldn't carry it It would crush me

Good afternoon

I'm with Cederdale Cemeteries

- I'm very sorry for your loss - Oh, thank you

I took the liberty of removing the grass to mark the area

Okay Thank you

This flat blade is gonna make things easier for you later

This pickax for harder areas, rocks too

H-H-How deep?

Six feet

Right

I'll be around here if you need me

Thanks

Why are there no dates?

- It's what he requested - Did he say why?

He did not

Get to it

Gentlemen Rev West

It's great to finally meet you,

despite the circumstances

My condolences

Thank you

- Mr Canfield - Reverend West

Harris spoke about you men many times, always in glowing terms

- Yeah - Hmm

Some backbreaking work

Did I say something funny?

"Glowing terms " "Backbreaking work "

It's just, where do you get that shit?

Are my words shit?

I mean, do they teach that at divinity school?

How to speak like a prophet?

I apologize for my very unhappy brother, Reverend

Ah

No worries A difficult day for all

But what's he even need a pastor for anyway?

The last time I checked, he was Jewish

He was Buddhist before that Muslim

Harris was a restless seeker

He was circumcised at 50

That's enough

I did not know that Painful, I'm sure

What about the dates? How come there are no dates?

He was never sure about his birthday

Didn't want the stone to be wrong, so he opted for no dates

Who would know or care if it was wrong?

Few things matter to a dying man

This mattered to him

Just keep it secular as best you can Huh, Rev ?

I'm a Christian pastor, Ray

That's them, my love

Let me help with that

- Thank you, Reverend - Mm-hmm

Thank you very much

Mr Canfield

Ms Delgado

Hi, guys This is my son, Simon

Raymond and Ray Your brothers

Nice to meet you

Hello

Hey

Over there

Thank you, Reverend

- Hey, can I ask you something? - Yeah, of course

My father's stuff back at the hospital, do you know where that is?

At home What are you looking for?

His cell phone

Harris left that to Simon Yeah

Simon, come here

Show your brother the phone

You got any music on here?

Not yet Just reset it today

He's a techie Hmm?

- So, you don't have any of Harris's stuff? - No

Did you back it up?

No, what for?

Thanks

Mmm, a whiskey priest, hey

Don't judge me, Ray

Just a fellow like any other, running on feet of clay

Mm-hmm Is that how you and Harris found each other?

Mmm Nah Harris stopped drinking before I met him

He said it revived him, being sober

He was in his late 60s when he fathered that boy

Life is unstoppable

And no, that is not from divinity school

- You got a family, Ray? - Ah, no

I wouldn't know what to do with a kid

Especially a boy

Is a girl any easier?

'Cause I got a girl and… …taken years off my life

What is it about a boy?

Back off, Reverend

Got a question for you, though

You really think that Harris believed in God?

- I don't care - No, come on You're shitting me

What matters is that we all belong to something greater than us

An infinite

Your father knew that

No

That is a humble thought,

and my father didn't have a humble bone in his body

Maybe he grew one when he realized the end was near

Yeah, maybe it's easier at the end

That's when all the bullies shit their pants

Nah, he was never scared

Only sad that the wonderful ride was over

That's how he put it "The wonderful ride "

Talk to me, Ray

What about?

What for?

It's all gonna be over, a couple hours

You sure about that?

Oh, yeah

I got it

That boy, he bugs me

No reception here That makes sense

Where do you work?

Water and Power Department in Cincinnati It's not very exciting

You don't like it?

Find something else

I don't know

You can have stability with an exciting job

Risk makes you feel alive

Sometimes even getting a little sloppy can be good

- Can it? - Yeah

You are so funny Ah…

I drive an Uber four days a week, and I am a bartender three nights

The driving is easier, but the bar is more money

Both jobs give me a front-row seat to the human circus every day

Sunscreen The sun is a silent killer

Keep going

Simon, please! Don't do that here!

Nobody cares

Incredible

Stop S

It's my turn

I'm not sure that's going to be possible I mean, legally I would need to

Come on It's his birthright

Yeah, I think it's okay

Here

Mr West?

- Reverend West Yes? - Sorry we're late

- One of our flights was delayed - You're not late Um, Leon?

- Leon - Leon

- Leon, Vincent - Yeah

Raymond Ray That's Simon over there

Condolences

Our sympathies

Thank you

Harris and our mother were custodians at a community center

- in Tallahassee in the '90s - Tallahassee

Simon

Come meet your brothers!

- I met them already - There's more

Let me know when they're all here

They have to dig too

- Hmm - Hmm

Look at Ray He's all What is the expression?

Um, tied up Tied up in knots, huh?

Both of you

The old man was always screwing with us

Gave us the same name

So our moms called us Raymond and Ray to avoid confusion,

but he'd just call me Ray and him Raymond and wreak havoc

Ray would get rewarded for my stuff or I'd get punished for his

Or he'd go see one of his games instead of mine

I-I was a good athlete, but Ray sucked

I mean, he was a genius student Straight A's But he sucked at sports

The old man would start fights with the referees or the other dads

Drive our mothers crazy, but he loved it

Having us all bouncing around like pinballs

Ray took it the hardest

He's a recovering addict, and at his worst, he was a train wreck

I tried to to reach out to him to help,

but he wouldn't let me anywhere near him

He was so embarrassed, the state he was in He vanished

And then he found a woman who helped him turn his life around

And then she died

I mean, son of a bitch

I made him come here with me today

This is like ground zero for everything he hates

Thanks for coming

I didn't wanna miss

Yeah I mean, who would?

Who are they?

Oh, they're Harris's sons too

- Oh - Yeah Even the kid

- Little guy? - Yeah Lucia's

Wow Go, Harris

- How many brothers are there? - Uh, I have no idea

I just met them today

- Oh - I mean, except for for Raymond

You close to him?

We're half brothers

Growing up, we were connected at the hip Inseparable

And then, we drifted apart through high school

When you've been humiliated together, degraded, devalued like we were by Harris,

then just being near each other is a reminder

But over the years, we stayed in touch

You know, he's he's good about that

I'm always reluctant, but, uh, I never regret it

Sometimes I wonder if if If we met today, if we'd even be friends

I mean, he likes this kind of thing Rituals

Rituals are comforting

Yeah I mean, "I'm sorry for your loss " I've heard that a dozen times today

It starts to sound like, "Have a nice day," you know

- Or, "Pass the salt " Or… - Hmm

I'm just My wife had this, uh, aggressive cancer,

Thank you very much Muchas gracias

- Thanks for putting up with that - No worries

Yeah, it's something you can tell your grandkids about

Do you have kids?

No, no Never wanted to

Usually, people feel weird meeting a

A grown-ass woman who doesn't have or want kids,

like she's some unhappy freak of nature

Yeah There's many ways to live a life

I read that in a fortune cookie

It's light Is he even in there?

Oh, your father was down to 125 pounds

Wow I had a dog once that weighed more than that

You remember Wilson, Raymond?

Our dead dad weighs less than a dog

Shut up, Ray, or I'll kill you

Hey, do your part, boy

Reverend West, I want Simon to see his father for the last time

I don't think that's a good idea

Ms Delgado, the time for viewing has passed

My son was at school, and he couldn't come to the funeral home

He's entitled

Miss Delgado, Mr Harris has been traveling by car in this pine box…

- Mm-hmm - …naked and unprotected

He's been sitting in the heat for three hours

And he was just carried to this spot, possibly banged up along the way

The body takes a toll

He's embalmed

I still don't recommend it I insist, actually

I'll take a look and see if he's okay

I'm sorry, but legally, you are not next of kin

Can't you do this for your brother, please?

- W I - Raymond?

I mean, Simon, do you wanna see the body?

- Okay - He did not want this

Let us take a look first

Mr Canfield

Okay Jonas

Oh, my God

He's facedown

Why is he facedown?

It's what he requested, but he did not want anyone to know

That's why I was hoping not to open the casket

He was very adamant about this

W Well, what does it mean, Reverend West?

I have no idea

Oh, it's some bullshit attempt to make amends with the universe

You know, some final gasp at hokey atonement

- We see through you, Harris! - Shut up, Ray

- Lucia, did you know about this? - No, it's stupid

- Let's turn him over - We cannot do that

He's dead Flip him over

Lucia Ju Let the boy take a look Then we'll proceed, okay?

Mm-hmm

I can't really see him

Okay

- W No Oh! Oh! - Ah!

He looks uncomfortable

Okay Enough

Jesus, he's pathetic

You know, in a way, it makes sense

It's the way he lived his whole life, facedown like a loser

- Don't talk about him like that - He is a loser

- And everything he touched turned to shit - Oh, shut up! Shut up, Ray!

Come on! You fucking hated him, Raymond

- And he deserved to be hated - Stop it!

- What will it take for you to say it? - Shut up!

Why can't you say it? Fuck him!

- Shut the fuck up, Ray! - Fuck our father!

- He fucked your wife, Raymond - Ray, no!

And the boy you thought was your son was his son

- How's that make you - Stop!

- Come on, Raymond - Hey, hey, hey Come on

Raymond, Raymond Let him go

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven

Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who trespassed against us

And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil

Amen

Harris wanted me to encourage anybody who wanted to speak

"No pressure," he said

Ray?

Oh, uh, no

- Lucia? - No

Raymond?

Raymond

- Stay! - Raymond It's all right I'll get him

Raymond Come on

What are you doing?

Raymond! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Raymond

- Let's talk - Oh, my God

- Raymond - No!

No, no Stop, stop, stop, stop!

We must report this, West To the police

No Look, it's gonna be a whole ordeal

Just be practical, my friend The outcome's the same

Ray

Say your goodbyes, Ray

You will never regret it

Oh, fuck me Now what?

Rest in peace, Harris

Leave behind fear, hope, anger, spilled milk

Take silence only

Sky, wind Sunrise after the rain

Forget the rest

Sleep, Harris

Rest from yourself

Take care

Your father left you a letter to be delivered at this moment

Uh, I'm sorry, sir That's the wrong one

Thank you

Okay, this stuff is going to the shed for charity

This other stuff is going to the garbage

After that, I'll make up a bed for you, and you are gonna sleep like a king

Hey, folks

I'll have a Corona

Okay And for you, sir?

I will have a coffee, black, and a cherry pie, warm

- You want ice cream with that? - Uh, yeah

And for dessert?

You don't drink?

No, I'm an addict But enough about me

No, I was a heroin addict for three years It wasn't pretty

My brother said that one of the things he needed to do to stay clean

- was finding new sources of pleasure - Mmm

Because the drugs, for better or worse, were pleasure

Yeah Well, that's true

I mean, when that drug first hits your body,

- there's nothing like it - Mmm

You know the sound of, uh, nails on a chalkboard?

Heroin is that sound stopping

It's all the pain in your body, the little rattle in your head, it's gone

It's just the numbing of all that feeling That's the pleasure

So, now pleasure's more muted, you know

There's food Um, sex Not bad Uh, humor

You know, just all the normal things that bring people pleasure

Music

When it's not bringing me pain

Nothing Nothing makes me happier than listening to jazz It's a drug

Listening more than playing? You sounded pretty good back there

- Hmm, for a white boy - You're not a boy

You know jazz?

No, no But I like it

My father used to say

that jazz was just Negro tribal music promoted by Jews to make cash

- Harris said that? - Yeah Yeah, he has lots of winners

"Work is not something you should enjoy "

If you had any real talent,

"it'd be written all over your white-trash face "

Charming

The things he said, they're like a A weight on my chest

You know, it's like I'd be playing, and in between phrases, I can feel my…

tank's not filling up, you know, from the weight

Um, my whole life, just tried not to get crushed

Playing back there at the cemetery,

that's not like a-a-a real gig with other musicians

That's when the fear rears its ugly head

Fear of what?

Sounding like crap

Thanks

Appreciate it Yeah, I got ya

You have a picture of your wife?

Uh, yeah, yeah

Wow She was beautiful

So, when you're done eating, we're gonna go get you high

I'm finished with the shed boxes You show me where the dumpster is?

Dinner first

Well, I'd rather get it over and done with

That was weird today

Don't be rude

Thank you

Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo

Did you love him?

He was a horny 67-year-old

And I was in a bad marriage and sad

And he gave me attention And he made me laugh

He was a bad father to you, a good father to Simon

He was a bad lover to your moms He was a good lover to me

He loved women, but he didn't understand them

He was a racist who liked everyone

He ate 10,000 meals

and slept 10,000 nights with his dreams and his nightmares

He had a hundred jobs and no money in the end

He wanted to understand the world, life, everything

But no Who can?

He was a speck of dust

What does it mean?

Onwards

The real thing is better

You know what? I think I'm gonna walk

Where to?

I don't know I was just gonna walk, you know?

- You want company? - It's all right

Do you even know your way around here?

I'll be fine

What's going on?

Nothing, you know

Just been a long day and, uh, I'm done

- You're done? - Yeah

Look, don't be weird Just

Hey Hey Hey, hey Hey!

What the hell happened?

Did I say something? Clear it up for me, and I'll walk away

- Look, it's not about you - What'd I do?

Look, I'm not your pet project, Nurse Kiera

I'm such an idiot

You know what? People tell you who they are right away

My first impression was the right one You're a prick

Well, you're right about that

Shit

Hey! Shit!

Hey!

Oh, fuck

Hold it!

Shit!

Just hold on

Can I talk to you, please?

Kiera, just give me two seconds, all right?

Can you roll down the window for J

No, hey, hey, hey!

Please, just two seconds, all right?

I, uh Oh, f

- Everything okay? - Yeah

You sure?

I'm fine, thanks

You know this guy?

Mm-hmm Yeah

He's cute

Fuck you

Raymond, I regret that I caused you so much pain

I was in a lot of pain myself, but I've heard that's no excuse

It was exhausting work being a father, even a bad father

Find a way to forgive me

One more thing Your brother Ray, is not my son

His mother was already pregnant

but didn't know it when she and I started up

We went along with it because I loved her, I thought

So, in a way, he's not even your brother, I suppose

Do with that information what you will I trust you

Your father, Benjamin Reed Harris III

Ray, you were a golden boy I never knew what to do with you

Sincerely, Benjamin Reed Harris III

Oh

She invited me to stay a few days and I-I-I'm going to

So, y-you take the truck

Wait, are you sure? I mean, I can take the bus

Yeah I'll pick it up from your house this weekend

All right

Did you and, um, Lucia…

What?

What, what?

- Oh, my God - Ah, just cut the shit, Ray

Holy shit

You had sexual intercourse with his woman, bro!

Why do you have to point everything out?

Why can't you let silence speak for itself?

Where would the fun be in that, huh?

- Now his son could be your son - Jesus! Fuck

Oh

Um…

listen, you know, um…

thank you for making me come to this thing

Is this where we hug?

- Oh, hug this - Hug this!

Hey

We never really knew him, did we?

Let's talk this weekend
