Not�much�happens�in�this�town.
You�got�to�make your�own�trouble.
Always
What�the�fuck is�wrong�with�you?!
What�kind�of�person lies�in�the�middle�of�the�road?
I�was�planning�on�suicide.
I�guess I�wasn't�paying�attention.
But�then�I�found�Eliza.
Are�you�okay?
Yeah.
She's�different.
She�makes�me�feel...things.
My�parents�would�lock�me in�my�room�for�hours.
You�are�the�man of�this�house!
I'm�telling�you.�I'm�not�going back�down�to�that�school.
Son,�I�have�to lock�you�in�tonight.
Please�don't.
Sorry.�It's�for�your�own�good.
Dad,�he�made�fun�of�me.
He�was�calling�me�names.
I�--�I�believe�you,�son.
But�you�just�can't�hurt someone�like�that.
There�are�other�ways.
-Mom�hates�me. -She�--�No.
Oh,�my�Lord.
She's�just�disappointed.
She'll�be�alright�tomorrow.
I�have�to�do�everything in�this�house.
I�am�watching "Wheel�of�Fortune."
Nobody�talk�to�me!
It'll�be�alright.
I�hate�school. It's�pointless.
I�wouldn't�even�bother coming�here,�but...
...her�sister,�Corinna, is�in�my�class.
Hi.�I'm�Miss�Anna�Beth�Joy, and�I'll�be�your�sub�today.
Looks�you�have�a�pop�quiz�today.
This�is�so�useless.
Please�pass�these�back. Here�you�go.
Here's�one�for�you.
And�you�will�have 10�minutes�to�complete�it.
Books�down. Everything�away,�please.
Excuse�me. Put�your�book�away,�please.
Did�you�hear�me?
Put�your�book�away!
Oh,�my�God!�Did�you�do�this?!
That's�no�way�to�treat�a�book.
I'm�gonna�have�to�tell your�teacher�about�this!
Snitch.
Everyone�put�the�quizzes�away.
Come�on. Put�the�quizzes�away.
Read�the�last�chapter.�Out�loud.
Do�it, or�I'm�calling�your�parents!
What�are�you�--�What�are�you�--
Finn�got�expelled.
Yeah,�I�was�there,�dumbass.
Are�you�okay?
No.�Don't�be�so�stressed�out.
Thought�she�was gonna�shit�herself.
Bad�boy.�Bad�boy.
Dumb�bitches.
Crushing�over�psychos.
Fuck�you,�Sasha.
You're�such�a�total�bitch.
I�heard�he�hit�the�teacher.
I�thought�she�hit�him.
Finn�lost�it.
She's�pressing�charges.
Oh.
He's�really�weird. I�never�even�hear�him�speak.
He�talked�to�me.
What?�When?
What�did�he�say?
Just,�"Hi."
Stay�away�from�him.
Something's�wrong�with�him.
Ugh.�I�hope�my�mom's�not�home.
Eliza,�is�that�you?
How's�your�mom?
Seeing�a�plumber...
...who�fixes�things, so�she�gave�him�her�heart.
Good�for�her.
How�was�school?
I�hate�school.
I�used�to�hate�it,�too.
I�started�a�new�painting�today.
You're�all�sweaty.
Why�don't�you�girls go�for�a�swim?
Mom,�no.
How's�Corinna?
Fine.
Well,�don't�eat�all�of�that. It's�very�fattening.
Ugh!
Can�you�get�my�back?
Finn�Elliott is�a�total�psycho.
You�were�kind�of�mean to�the�girls�earlier.
Shut�up.
It's�true.
They're�too�sensitive.
I�mean,�I�can't�just�keep walking�on�eggshells
all�the�time.
They're�not�my�responsibility.
I�hope�Finn�falls�for�Eliza.
They'd�make�the�perfect�couple.
I�see�the�way�you�look�at�him, you�know.
You�think�he's�cute.
In�a�dusty,�wears�the�same clothes�every�day,
creepy�way.
But�he�doesn't�look�at�you.
Hi.
What�are�you�reading?
Vonnegut.
According�to�him, a�reader�should�have
such�a�complete�understanding of�a�book
that�they�could�finish�it themselves�if�cockroaches
were�to�eat�the�last�few�pages.
Did�cockroaches�eat the�last�few�pages�of�this�one?
I�like�that.
You�wanna�take�a�walk?
Okay.
It's�just�you�and�your�mom?
Yeah.�Sort�of.
Tell�me�about�her.
Why?
I�just�want�to�get�to�know�you.
My�parents�are�fighting, so�we�moved�out.
Corinna�had�to�go�with�Dale.
I�miss�being�at�the�house.
I�like�how�you�talk�to�me.
How?
Like...normal.
Tell�me�about�a�book you've�read.
Um...I�just�finished
this�crazy�Russian�sci-fi�book from�the�1960s.
So,�scientists�discover this�second�Earth,
and�it's�identical�to�ours,
except�it's�800�years in�the�past.
And�there's�a�scene where�the�main�character's
kind�of�gone�off�the�handle
and�he�meets�up�with�an�old childhood�friend�of�his,
and�he�has�all�this�red drippy�stuff�on�his�hands,
and�she�gets�scared 'cause�she�thinks�it's�blood.
It's�just�strawberry�juice. He's�just�picking�strawberries.
Anyway,�I�liked�that.
Hi.
How�was�school�today?
Look�at�me.
Thank�you.
Where�are�you�going?
Did�everybody�miss�me?
Whoo!
What?
Oh,�my�God,�stop.
Thanks�for�cooking,�my�love.
I'm�meeting�some�friends.
Hey!�Wait.�What? What�--�What�friends?
Will�you�pretend just�for�one�night
that�I'm�nobody's�mother?
I�could�do�with�a�night�out.
Stay.
I'm�not�a�dog,�Eliza.
Don't�wait�up!
Hi.
These�are�for�you.
For�stopping�traffic and�saving�my�life.
Do�you�often�lie�in�the�middle of�the�street?
Well,�it's�actually�pretty great�for�clearing�the�mind.
You�just�have�to�watch�out for�cars.
Come�on.
This�is�Dale. Leave�a�message.
I'd�like�another�beer.
This�is�Dale. Leave�a�message.
I�could've�gone�to�college.
I�was�smart.
Was�real�smart.
This�place�has�a�way of�wrapping�itself�around�you.
This�is�Dale. Leave�a�message.
Feel�like�there's a�big�ol'�umbilical�cord
connecting�my�belly with�this�town.
That's�a�very�graphic reference.
Louise?
Dale?!
I�miss�you.
I�miss�you,�too,�baby.
I�want�to�sleep�in�my�own�bed.
Louise,�you�have some�real�work�to�do
that�I�can't�help�you�with anymore.
Did�you�see�Dr.�Kilgore�today?
I�know�you�didn't�go.
Dale?
You�ever�wish�you�could just�disappear�for�a�while?
Come�back when�things�were�better?
Just�take�it�day�by�day
and�live�a�day�here, die�a�day�there?
What's�wrong?
I�don't�really�like�graveyards.
-Do�you�believe�in�ghosts? -No.
You�should.
I�should�go�get�my�mom.
The�dead�don't�abide�by�time.
Alright.�I'll�walk�you.
Careful.
Did�you�see�this?
18�years�old.
The�best�ones�die�young.
Why�are�we�picking�her�up?
She�needs�me.
She�was�at�a�five until�Dale�picked�up.
And�now�--�now�she's�about a�seven�and�a�half.
But�I�got�her�to�eat.
How�much�do�I�owe?
Food's�on�me. Drinks,�I�put�on�her�tab.
I�don't�know. Maybe�you�should�talk�to�Dale.
I�can�take�care�of�her�myself.
I�saw�a�bus pass�through�earlier.
Oregon-bound.
Out-of-state�plates?
California�plates.
You�two�planning�on getting�out�of�here�sometime?
Sometime.
I'm�glad�to�see you're�alive�and�well.
Mmm!
Excuse�me.
Oh. Your�mama's�all�slobber-jawed.
Hey.�How�are�you�feeling?
I'm�gonna�look at�the�scale�tomorrow.
Y'all�still�keep a�cold�beer�out�here?!
I�got�expelled�today.
I�love�you.
You're�really�beautiful.
Mm.
I�love�you�very�much.
With�all�my�heart.
I�love�you,�too,�Mom.
Really?
I�wouldn't�lie�to�you.
Corinna?
She�loves�you,�too.
Hm.
I'll�be�outside.
-�Still�craving�your�kiss -Stop,�please.
Whoa.�It's�okay. It's�fine.�I�got�her.
Mom!�I'm�so�sorry.
Eliza!
How�are�you�not�embarrassed by�yourself?
Jesus�Christ.
I'm�longing�to�linger till�dawn
Come�on. You're�fine.�You're�fine.
Right�here. You�got�a�step.�Right�here.
Up.�Up.�Up.
Craving�your�kiss
Shut�up!
I�got�her.�I�got�her.�I�got�her. She's�fine.�She's�fine.
Whoo!
Yeah.
So�long...
I'm�so�sorry.
Stars�linger, but�I�linger�on,�dear
Still�calling�your�name
Longing�to�linger till�dawn,�dear
Just�saying�this
I�owe�you�breakfast.
Don't�worry�about�it.
Tomorrow�morning.�Eight�o'clock.
I�hope�you�like�cereal.
I�love�it.
I�had�a�really�nice�time with�you�tonight.
I�could�smell�her on�me�for�days.
Denial�is�a�coping�mechanism.
It's�you�trying�to protect�yourself�from�the�truth
about�something that's�happening�in�your�life.
Something�you�can't�handle.
Something�too�heavy.
Hey.�How�are�you�feeling?
Fuckin'�excellent.
Oh.�Mom,�I'd�like�you to�meet�Finn.
Can�I�have�a�word�with�you for�a�moment?
Who's�that�boy?
He�carried�you�home�last�night.
How�do�you�know�him?
School.
He's�in�Corinna's�class.
Did�he�spend�the�night?
No.
You�know,�the�least�you�could�do is�thank�him.
Tell�him�thank�you and�tell�him�to�be�on�his�way.
I'm�getting�a�migraine.
It's�just�a�hangover,�Mom.
I�need�peace�and�quiet.
Tell�him�to�go�home.
And�get�to�school.
Hey.�Sorry�about�that.
She�has�a�really�bad�headache.
I�can�go�home.�I�don't�want to�make�things�worse�for�you.
She's�just�not�herself right�now.
When�she�drinks�too�much, she�just�gets�a�little�moody.
Her�brain�doesn't�produce enough�dopamine.
You�know,�the�happy�stuff.
So�it's�--
It's�really�not�her�fault.
Dropped�in�on�a�burnout�bag
Rich�glamour�on�another�pack
Actress�with�a�killer�pill, bad�boys...
Here's�something to�look�forward�to.
We're�putting�them�up�today. Tickets�go�on�sale�tomorrow.
They're�$4.50�each,
but,�of�course, all�my�friends�get�in�for�free.
All�proceeds�are�going to�my�dad's�food�bank
to�benefit�the�undernourished Middle�Americans.
You�know,�the�kids�living�off condensed�milk�and�Hot�Pockets.
It's�a�real�crisis.
What?
I�can't�explain�this�to�you right�now.
The�point�is�this�town�needs�us.
This�dance is�going�to�save�lives.
I�need�your�mom�to�do�my�hair. Please�ask�her.�Today.
What's�wrong?
Eliza�has�to�pay full�price.
Shut�up,�Sasha.
I'm�not�going.
Fine�with�me, but�ask�yourself�--
are�you�a�good�person if�you�don't�help�the�needy?
Oh,�my�God!�You�don't�know when�to�shut�up!
I'm�just�being�a�humanitarian.
No.�You're�just�trying to�sell�tickets
so�your�dad�will�be�proud�of�you instead�of�regretting
the�day your�mom�dumped�him�with�you
so�she�could�live her�second�life�in�Florida
without�such�a�pain�in�the�ass.
Your�mom�didn't�want�you.
And�does�your�dad�even�like�you?
What�the�fuck,�Corinna? You�can't�just�say�that.
I�just�did.
That�was�really�mean.
I�know.
Want�to�ditch�and�watch�a�movie at�my�house?
I�gotta�go�to�class.
It's�too�hot.
Bye.
Look�at�me.
What's�your�problem?
Don't�act�like�you�don't�know.
How�long�are�you gonna�punish�me�for?
I�didn't�want�you�guys�to�leave.
I�would�have�fought to�keep�us�all�together.
What�my�dad�did has�nothing�to�do�with�me.
I�don't�want�to�talk�about�this.
Fine. Stop�feeling�sorry�for�yourself.
My�dad�owns�this�store.
Okay?
He�doesn't�like people�loitering.
Grandma�really�was a�batty�old�woman.
How�is�Louise�doing?
She's�not�okay.
Well,�you�should�talk�to�Dale. He'll�listen�to�you.
I'm�never�speaking�to�him�again.
He�raised�you.�Did�you�forget?
God.�You�are�unbelievable.
If�our�parents hadn't�gotten�married,
who�knows where�you'd�be�right�now.
Do�you�expect�me to�kiss�his�ass?
"Thank�you�so�much�for�taking pity�on�my�poor�mom�and�I.
We�wouldn't�have�survived without�your�generosity."
What�the�hell�is�wrong�with�you?
I�hate�you!
What's�going�on?
Eliza,�why�are�you�fighting?
She's�beyond�help.
Corinna�was�the�one who�told�Dale
you�were�stealing�his�pills.
Ohh.�Oh,�sweetheart.
I�just�want�you�to�come�home.
You�know�what?�Yeah. Let's�all�live�together�again.
So�you�guys�can�yell and�slam�doors.
And�she�can�break�things, and�he�can�stay�out�all�night
'cause�he�doesn't�know how�to�deal�with�anything!
-Eliza,�come�here. -Let�go�of�me!
I�hate�this�family!
It's�okay.
Is�that�my�book?
She�took�my�book...
...and�acts�like I'm�not�even�here.
Come�here.
Good�girl.
Mmm.
You're�fuckin'�hot,�Eliza.
And�you're�mine.
Hey.
What's�all�the�filming�for?
I�guess�you�could�say I'm�making�a�documentary.
About�life�and�death.
Most�people�are�afraid�of�it,
but�I�find�something comforting�about�dead�things.
Whether�it's�animals or�insects�or�people.
-That's... -Weird?
Poetic.
I'll�show�you�a�secret.
Is�everything�okay with�your�mom?
No.�Not�really.
What's�wrong?
I�had�a�fight�with�my�sister.
I�mean,�stepsister.
Actually�don't�even�know what�we�are�anymore.
Why?
Corinna's�always�on�Dale's�side.
And�my�mom�is�getting�worse.
I�need�Dale�to�take�us�back.
Does�Dale�ever�hurt�you?
No.�He�just�wants�her to�stop�drinking�and�stuff.
Got�it.
Nobody�comes�here. It's�abandoned.
Let�me�show�you�inside.
I�like�how�the�Earth looks�like�a�fishbowl.
What�kind�of�fish�would�you�be?
A�dead�fish.
Play�along.
A�very�dead�fish.
When�you�were�little, did�you�ever�think�the�moon
was�made�out�of�cheese?
No.�Did�you?
Yeah.�I�did.
I�thought�I�would�go�there someday�in�my�space�car.
The�engine�would�run entirely�on�broccoli,
my�least-favorite�vegetable.
I�figured�that�was�a�good�way of�getting�rid�of�it.
I'd�rather�get�on�a�Greyhound.
Sometimes�I�feel a�thousand�years�old.
I�have�another�adventure for�you.
What�do�you�want�to�do when�you�finish�school?
I�don't�know.
Never�thought�much�about�it.
What�about�you?
I'm�expelled�from�school,�Eliza.
You�know�what�I�mean.
I�know.
I�definitely want�to�leave�this�town.
Where�do�you�want�to�go?
Anywhere away�from�my�family.
Look.�It's�heaven.
Hold�this.
After�you.
Thank�you.
I�like�how�you�walk.
You�like�how�I�walk.
-Yeah. -Why?
You�walk�with�purpose.
You�walk�too�fast.
-Hm? -You�walk�too�fast.
No.
It's�cool,�right?
Must�have�got�struck by�lightning�at�some�point.
Sit.
I�didn't�mean to�hurt�that�teacher.
Do�you�believe�me?
Yeah.
Why?
I�feel�safe�with�you.
When�I�was�a�little�kid,�my�dad used�to�tell�me�this�story.
He�said,�"Finn...
there�once�was�a�huge�apple sitting�out�in�a�field.
One�day,�a�big�old�fat�ant�came marching�around,
and�it�noticed�the�apple.
And�it�took�a�bite.
And�it�was�delicious.
And�then�it�called all�its�brothers�and�sisters
to�come�and�take�a�bite,�too, and�they�did.
Each�and�every�little�bite.
And�eventually,
every�last�bit�of�that sweet�apple�disappeared.
And�all�that�was�left...
...was�a�little�seed.
But�then�something�magical happened.
That�seed�started�to�grow.
With�oxygen�and�time and�water,
it�blossomed into�a�big�apple�tree."
And�he�said,�"That,�my�son, is�the�circle�of�life."
I�think�I'd�like�your�dad.
Close�your�eyes.
Listen.
What�am�I�listening�to?
The�sound�of�the�dead.
With�her, everything�is�silent.
And�nothing�hurts.
Eliza?
Why�aren't�you�in�school?
It's�Presidents'�Day.
Of�course.
Hm.�Any�fun�plans with�your�friends?
Mm-hmm.�Yeah.
We're�all�meeting�by�the�river in�a�bit.
Gorgeous�day.
Eliza,�we�need�to�talk about�the�other�day.
I�don't�want�to.
What�you�said�to�your�sister, it's�really�not�okay.
We'll�talk�about�it�another�day.
I�just�hope�you�girls still�love�me
like�you�did when�you�were�little.
Is�that�literally all�you�care�about?
How�do�you�still�love�Corinna after�she�betrayed�you?
I'm�sure�that's�how�you�feel.
But,�sweetheart...
...if�there's�anyone who�betrayed�me,�it's�you.
If�you�hadn't�been such�a�needy�child,
I�wouldn't�have�lost�Dale's�baby and�we'd�still�be�a�family.
There's�not�one�inch�of�you
that�wants�us to�be�a�family�again.
This?
It's�you.
You�naughty�little�butterfly!
I�caught�one!
I�caught�one!
Should�we�put�it�in�the�jar and�show�Mom?
Yeah.
Let's�go.�Come�on.
-I�caught�one! -Oh,�wow!�Eliza!
You�really�have a�butterfly�in�there?
I�do!
Her�hands�are�too�close.
Oh,�no.
It's�dead.
I�felt�its�wings�moving.
-Maybe�it's�just�taking�a�nap. -I�felt�its�wings�moving.
I'll�help�you�catch�another�one. It�was�an�accident.
She�killed�it!
What�has�happened to�this�school?
Feels�like�a�ghost�town all�of�a�sudden.
I'm�starving.
Have�you�seen�Eliza?
She's�fine.
You�don't�know�that.
I�mean...
I�think�she�has�a�lot of�pressure�on�her
to�take�care�of�her�mom.
I�mean,�I�feel�like it's�getting�to�her.
Like,�bad.
Did�you�paint�that�on�the�wall?
Is�that�how�much�you�love�me?
How's�that�milkshake?
Where�are�your�parents?
Uh,�they're�dead.
Are�you�being�serious?
How'd�they�die?
Uh,�their�hearts stopped�beating.
I�miss�'em.
What�do�you�think�happens when�we�die?
I�think�we�just�die.
I�don't�think anything�special�happens.
Clay.�He's�dripping�water all�over�the�floor.
Floors�could�use�some�cleanin'.
How�was�your�day?
My�day?
Yeah.
Dug�a�rabbit�out�of�a�hole.
Well,�you�--�you�dug�a�rabbit out�of�a�hole?
Yeah.
How�is�that�even�possible?
I�feel�like you're�making�that�up.
Is�that�true?
Yeah.
What�happened�to�your�chin?
I�cut�it.
Oh,�that's�right. Sorry.�I�forgot.
What's�for�dessert?
Pie.
What�kind�of�pie?
Lemon.
-Lamb�pie? -Lemon!
Oh.�Alright. I�thought�you�said�"lamb"�pie.
That'd�be�weird. We're�not�British.
Bless�her�heart, but�I�do�think�Patty
could�have�taken another�inch�off.
Don't�you�think?
I�agree.
She's�visiting�family this�weekend,
so�it'll�have�to�wait till�Monday.
She'll�get�it�done.
And�I�think�your�hair is�really�pretty.
The�boy's�got�taste.
Actually,�can�I�get a�little�taste?
Come�here.
Oh,�that�tastes�good.
It's�shallow�out�here.
Hold�on.�I'm�coming.
What�would�I�do�without�you?
When�I�was�a�kid,�my�dad�said
there�were�catfish�in�the�river the�size�of�cars.
Stop!
I�don't�like�being�filmed!
Don't�do�that�again.
I�can�feel�it�coming�on.
The�darkness�and�light that�co-exist�together.
And�they�play�hide-and-seek in�me.
Eliza�hates�me.
Sweetheart, she�could�never�hate�you.
I�don't�think�you�should have�made�them�leave.
I�know�it's�hard.
And�I'm�sorry�Eliza is�taking�this�out�on�you.
But�you'll�see�this�was the�best�thing�to�do.
That's�bullshit.
It'll�be�good�for�her to�be�in�that�house.
It'll�ground�her,�you�know, help�her�acclimate.
You�put�her in�your�dead�mother's�house.
You're�wrong�about�her.
She�is�not�strong�enough to�change.
She's�not.
Hey.�Can�we�sit�with�you?
Hey,�you.�Since�when do�you�drink�black�coffee?
A�long�time.
-Hey. -Two�breakfast�plates,�please.
-Want�something? -No.
Breakfast�plates coming�right�up.
The�dance�is�tonight. I�got�you�a�ticket.
That�was�a�waste�of�$4.50.
Come�on,�Eliza. Have�some�fun.
A�dance�sounds�like�a�good�time.
-How�are�you�doing? -It�would�kill�my�mom
if�she�knew�I�was�here with�you�guys�without�her.
Well,�why�don't�we�all�do something�together�then?
Dad?
I�suppose.
It's�been�a�good�amount�of�time since�we�tried�that.
Let's�give�it�a�shot.
Tonight,�Dad.�Before�the�dance.
That�way,�if�you�change your�mind,�we�can�go�together.
Does�that�sound�good,�Eliza?
I'll�ask�my�mom.
Let's�say�five�o'clock at�our�house.�How's�that?
I'll�pick�up�something.
-Great. -"Great."
What's�that�gonna�be?
It's�supposed�to�be�a�shark.
Was�your�mom�pissed about�school?
No.�She�has�no�idea.
What�do�you�wanna�do?
Whatever�you�want.
I�guess�we�should�go�inside.
Can�I�have�that?
Thanks.
You're�lucky�you�got�expelled.
What's�wrong?
I�like�you.
I�like�you,�too.
A�lot.
Mom?
Where�have�you�been?
We�have�dinner�plans.
My�head�hurts.
Dale's�invited�us�for�dinner.
He�called�you?
No.�I�saw�Dale�and�Corinna at�the�diner.
Why�--�Why�didn't�he�call�me?
How�should�I�know?
-What�time? -Five.
Oh,�my�God.�Well...
Why�so�early?
Because the�school�dance�is�tonight
and�they�want�to�have�dinner before.
I�have�to�take�a�shower. I�have�nothing�to�wear.
Grief�is�living two�lives�at�once.
One�where�everything's alright...
...and�the�other you're�drowning.
The�memories�haunt�your�soul and�disturb�your�sleep.
Just�one�more�day.
One�more�hug.
One�more.
How�are�you?
Dale�invited�us�to�dinner.
My�mom's�having�a�nervous breakdown�over�it.
Be�my�date?
Is�that�what�you're�gonna�wear?
Is�that�what�you're�gonna�wear?
Finn's�coming,�too.
Eliza,�do�you�think�that's�wise?
-He's�coming,�Mom. -Do�you�know�how�long
I've�waited�for�your�father�to come�to�his�senses�about�this?!
It's�just�dinner!
So�pretty.
Well,�I'm�really�happy that�we're�all�here�together.
It's�been�a�long�time�coming.
Proper�family�dinner.
And�we're�happy�to�have�you here,�as�well,�Finn.
-Welcome. -Thank�you,�sir.
Do�you�drink�wine,�Finn?
If�it's�alright�with�you,�sir.
Corinna?�Eliza?
Just�a�bit�for�the�toast.
To�persistence.
We're�a�family, and�we�will�always�be�a�family.
And�I'd�like�to�add that�I�am�very�happy
to�be�here�with�both�my�children and�with�my�husband.
Cheers�to�that.
-May�I�serve�you? -Yes,�please.
Uh,�just�not�quite�so�much.
Thank�you.
Eliza?
Thank�you.
So,�Finn, how�did�you�meet�Eliza?
-It's�a�very�small�town. -At�school.
You�two�going�to�the�dance together?
-No. -I�want�you�to.
Eliza,�go�with�Corinna.
I�can't�stand�her moping�around�the�house�all�day.
He�has�a�right�to�know.
Your�behavior�lately has�been�atrocious.
We�have�cannoli�for�dessert.
Ask�him,�Mom. Ask�him�if�this�dinner
means�anything�to�him�besides feeling�a�little�less�guilty.
This�is�a�step in�the�right�direction.
To�ease�us�back�in.
I�think you're�embarrassed�of�us.
You�know�you're�torturing�her, right?
This�little�sick, twisted�fantasy�of�yours?
She�hasn't�seen�a�doctor in�months,�and�she's�drinking.
Look�at�her!
Shut�your�mouth!
We�don't�live�here�anymore.
Stop�looking�at�her.
Why�don't�you�two�go�upstairs for�a�little�bit?
I'm�not�into�you,�by�the�way.
What�are�you�thinking?! You�were�drinking�today!
You�drink�and�drink...
I�have�tried�everything I�know�what�to�do!
I�can't�even�think anymore�of�what�to�do!
Even�going�to�the�doctor.
You�know�how�much�money I�have�spent�on�this!
And�you�won't�even give�it�a�shot!
I�want�you�to�move�back!
But�you�don't�even�try!
I�made�something�for�you.
Thanks.
Loss�can�consume�you.
But�it�teaches�you the�worth�of�things.
I'd�love�to�see�the�ocean.
Ocean's�a�long�way�off.
Good.
Eliza...
This�bus�runs�the�town�loop.
I�know.
We'll�be�back�where�we�started in�20�minutes.
You�alright?
Don't�touch�me.
I�love�you.
Just�leave�me�alone.
But�I�love�you.
I�just�need�some�space.
Unbelievable.
Are�you�mad?
You're�a�big�boy�now.
You're�old�enough to�dry�yourself�off
and�not�go�dripping
all�over�Grandma�and�Grandpa's nice�house.
They're�dead.
They're�up�there�in�heaven, shaking�their�heads�at�you.
Alright,�buddy.
Time�for�your�pill.
Can�I�take�it�tomorrow?
It�makes�me�feel�melty.
Clay,�I�swear, if�he�gets�kicked�out,
you're�gonna�be teaching�him�yourself.
Your�mother's�right.
Sometimes�you�got�to�do�things you�don't�want�to�do.
It's�important to�keep�your�mother�happy.
Sometimes�you�have�to�do things�you�don't�want�to�do.
No�date?
I�don't�have�a�date.
I�don't�do�"date."
I�do�dates.
Like,�why�would�I�hold�myself down�to�one�guy,�you�know?
I'm�free-range.
Okay.
So�we're�going�to�practice.
For�the�dance,�you�need�to�keep this�much�distance�apart.
Perfect.�A�little�more�back.
Alright.�Let's�practice. Five,�six,�seven,�eight.
One,�two,�three,�four, five,�six.
You're�too�close!�Back�up! Now�you're�too�far.
There�you�go.�Keep�it�there.
Let's�try�again.�Ready? You�got�it!
Five,�six,�seven,�eight.
One,�two,�three,�four, five,�six,�seven,�eight.
What�are�you�doing?
Your�dancing is�fucking�terrible!
Fix�it!�You�can't�be an�embarrassment�to�me!
What�are�you�thinking?
Eliza,�what�is�happening?
I�know�what's�best�for�you.
Corinna�called.
She�really�wants�you to�go�to�that�dance.
I�don't�want�to�go.
You�should�wear my�little�green�dress.
With�a�perfect�strappy�shoe.
Mom.
Dale�loves�you.
This�is�why you�don't�mess�with�me
See,�I'm�technically best�there�ever�be
Yes,�I'm�blessed�indeed, so�don't�test�me�please
I�am�Hercules, I�unleash�the�beast
I�ain't�dressed�to�please, I�am�dressed�for�me
Way�they�step�to�me, it's�like�chess�to�me
See,�these�nobodies try�and�kill�the�queen
You�got�best�of�three, then�it's�time�for�me
This�is�why you�don't�mess�with�me
See,�I'm�technically best�there�ever�be
Yes,�I'm�blessed�indeed, so�don't�test�me�please
I�am�Hercules, I�unleash�the�beast
I�ain't�dressed�to�please, I�am�dressed�for�me
Way�they�step�to�me, it's�like�chess�to�me
See,�these�nobodies try�and�kill�the�queen
You�got�best�of�three, then�it's�time�for�me
Eliza!�You�came! I�didn't�think�you'd�be�here!
Eliza?
Louise.
Finn.
Eliza's�not�here,�honey.
I�love�you!
Even�when�you're�being a�pain�in�the�ass.
Which�is�always.
Drink.�Drink.�Drink.�Drink.
Shit.
Have�you�seen�my�date? He's�missing.
What�is�she�doing?
Doesn't�she�know it's�trashy�to�slow-dance?
I�think�it's�adorable!
I�think�I'm�gonna�yack.
Let's�dance.�Come�on.
Fuck�no.�Let's�go.
She's�with�her�friends.
I�don't�trust�you.
You're�smart.
Finn.
I�love�you.
I�really,�really�love�you.
And�it�terrifies�me.
I�know.
You�don't�know�anything.
I�haven't�told�you what�I've�done.
Come�here.
I've�hurt�people.
And�I�meant�to.
I�don't�know�why, but�I�get�so�fucking�heated.
I�don't�know�what�it�is, but�I�can't�calm�myself�down.
There�were�these�little incidents�when�I�was�a�kid,
and�my�parents�would�just pop�pills�in�my�mouth.
And�that�didn't�fucking�help because�it�just�felt�like
I�was�underwater�all�the�time.
And�I�fucking�hated�it.
And�I�couldn't�fucking�feel!
I�couldn't�feel�anything�at�all!
I�never�felt�like, ever,�at�any�point,
they�really�wanted�me�around,
but�I�couldn't�fucking�help being�born.
So�I�wanted�to�give�them�a�taste of�their�own�medicine.
So�I�crushed�up�the�pills.
I�crushed�up�too�many.
The�last�thing that�I�heard�my�mom�say
when�she�went�to�bed�that�night
and�I�snuck�by�the�door to�lock�it�was...
"Clay.�Did�you�see how�helpful�Finn�was�tonight?"
Does�that�make�me�a�monster?
No,�it�doesn't.
It�was�an�accident.
It's�not�your�fault.
I�love�you.
I�am...who�I�am.
I�wanted�to�stay�as�close to�the�edge�as�I�could.
On�the�edge, you�see�all�the�things
you�can't�see�from�the�inside.
There's�beauty�in�everything.
In�life�and�in�death.
Mom,�something�weird�happened.
So,�I�made�this�for�you.
Understand�I�had�to�do�this.
There's�so�much I�could�say�to�you.
But�it's�just�all�too�much.
I�do�wish I�could�go�back�in�time.
Undo�this�mess�I�made.
I�know�you're�upset.
I�have�a�good�heart.
I�just�-- I�don't�know�how�to�reason.
I�traded�your�mom's�life for�yours.
I�wanted�to�protect�you.
I�hope�you�know�that.
But�love�isn't�about being�nice.
It's�about�doing the�right�thing.
I'm�going�where everything�is�silent
and�nothing�hurts.
Your�life�will�be so�much�better�without�me.
I�love�you.
I�love�you�so�much.
I�love�you.
