Original subtitles

That's why they call that part of the truck the bed.

I love my life.

The fuck?

Do not break down again.

Come on, do not break down again.

Fuck.

Come on.

Fucking computer.

Fucking piece of shit.

Fucking computer.

Fuck me in the asshole.

Hello,

you've reached Joe's cellular telephone.

Leave a message.

Bro, answer your fucking phone.

I got an emergency situation here.

All right, I'm texting you.

There's three kinds of love.

One, family.

I mean, you're born into that.

You got no saying it.

Two, romantic love.

It's my favorite,

but problem with that is it kind of burns red hot

and then burns out.

If you're watching this with your significant other

statistically, in about 18 months,

it ain't going to be so significant to you.

Third type of love is your friends.

Now, you make those on your own.

And unlike people that you're fucking,

you don't want nothing from them.

Might be the only type of relationship that I don't fail at.

I got Joe his first modeling audition today.

Ah, you've all ready fucked him so you're over it.

I get it.

You haven't told her, yet?

That's not cool.

We're leaving today.

That is so not cool.

- Hey. - There you are.

Thank God.

Join me.

Fucking Stanny.

He told me he's in love with me.

Really?

50 times a day, he tells me.

Well, did you say it back?

No, I've known the guy, what?

A month? - I've known plenty of people

who knew within the first month

that they wanted to get married.

Jesus, stop.

Nobody is getting married.

I think he's fun and the sex is amazing,

but that's where it ends for now.

Do you love him?

I don't know.

Well, where's he been?

I told him he had to find his own place.

- You kicked him out. - No, I didn't kick him out.

I just told him that when Shoot leaves,

he should leave also.

So he took off, I guess.

Oh.

Just you and me again.

Don't even.

Look, it's a photography gig, okay.

It's my first really big-

Oh, the magazine hired you also to go to Haiti?

The magazine hired Shoot, but I get to go take-

Un-fucking-believable.

Really, after all this time of you harassing me,

you can't even be happy for me about this?

You're not going, because it's about your career.

The hotel is paid for.

Right.

You could go take pictures of Detroit or Serbia or anywhere,

but you choose this.

Why?

Because of a hotel discount.

You're not missing out

on some deal on accommodation somewhere.

It's Haiti.

Of course you're going off with somebody else.

That's what you do.

So I tell her I love her and she don't know.

She doesn't know.

Yeah, she doesn't know.

She don't know.

Stanny, just 'cause you like having sex with the girl

doesn't necessarily mean that you love her.

You've been in love once your whole life.

The girl dumped you.

You're the expert?

Just trying to help.

I don't want you to help.

I just want, I don't know, you don't listen.

I'm listening.

Well, when someone says they're in love,

you're supposed to say that's great.

Okay, that's great.

All right, stop listening.

I don't know, say some shit.

Look, I'm happy for you,

but there's just gotta be more to it than that.

Well, yeah.

I mean, look, you enjoy having sex with the person,

you find them interesting, same sense of humor.

That's all.

- That's it? - That's rare.

That's great.

Been getting a whole lot of condensation from you lately.

Okay, that is not the meaning of the word.

See, see.

That's actually water outside of a beer bottle.

It's also a whole lot of condescending behavior.

Do you even know what the word condescending means?

Yeah, it means you're being a fucking dick.

Do you know what dick means?

Asshole.

How'd it go?

She wants to kill me.

I'm sure it's not about you.

She probably just misses Stanny.

Hey, at least with the truck I know what's wrong.

Alternator goes, fucks my batteries

so I've got to replace them both.

The computer, the fuck do I know?

It's like a woman.

There's a rattling under the hood.

Turns out to be a fan belt,

but gets sold a whole new engine.

Computer place call yet?

Not yet.

Fucking IT geeks.

They better not charge me too much.

The truck all ready broke me.

So you fucked Summer, huh?

Yeah.

And?

You know, whenever I tell you things, what I think,

you always contradict me.

No, I don't.

Yeah, you do.

Dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard.

Parking enforcement came by writing tickets.

Called your plate and city tow truck took it away.

You got a ticket so they towed it?

I sorta had like 10 unpaid tickets.

Well, how much you think it is?

Well, a couple no registrations.

Those are the 250 bucks each.

No insurances.

More than the truck is worth.

Actually, you know what?

I never registered it in my name

so I can't even get it out of the impound.

Fuck you, life.

You loaf of shit bread.

Hand me your phone, will you.

We're gonna call the computer store.

We return the stuff to the auto parts store

and you have money to pay for a computer, right.

Okay.

Hello, yeah, um.

Calling for, uh, Stanny Burk.

Dropped his computer off this morning.

Yeah, he's right here.

Hello, yeah.

Okay, all right.

Thank you.

Did they say how much it was going to be?

It wasn't the screen.

It was the hard drive.

It crashed, lost everything.

Tell me you got it backed up.

Yeah, my latest script's on a memory stick.

Oof, thank God.

Yeah, it's on a memory stick that I keep on my key chain

so I don't lose it and I just chucked it in the ocean.

Are we gonna jump in and go look for it?

I'm being ass-fucked by the universe.

Can I just say something?

If you were really my best friend,

you wouldn't be mad at me for being who I am.

So we're not friends anymore?

I don't know, are we?

I'm not mad.

I just don't get it.

People like you and Stanny you meet somebody

and it's all love at first sight and it's- it's not real.

It's what seventh graders do.

So I'm a passionate person.

What is the problem with that?

It's phony and it's not going to last.

Think about Eric or the five guys before that.

Why do you have to be so cynical?

Don't you mean mature?

Maturity has nothing to do with falling in love.

It's not supposed to be logical.

You're starting to sound like Stanny.

Good.

You know what, good.

He may be a fuck up,

but I have never seen anybody worship you the way he does.

That's not...

That's not- - That's not what?

I know you think he's funny.

I know you love fucking him.

So that's not what?

You meet someone interesting you decide it's love.

It takes me a long time to fall in love.

It's not something trivial.

An impulsive guy like Stanny,

by the time I fell in love with him, he'd be over me.

So you're just a coward.

Why are we talking about me?

I get up every day.

I go to a job.

I work my ass off.

I fulfill all my responsibilities

and everyone else- everyone else can sleep in their cars

or crash on couches or go off to Haiti for a few months in.

Why is it that I'm the one

that's been making all the smart choices,

but I get told I'm the stupid one?

Georgia, we are two totally different people.

I- I don't know why you judge me for loving new- new people

and things so quickly, but it's just-

Me and Shoot and Stanny, it's like, you're jealous

that we can just jump into something new

and actually enjoy it.

I don't judge you for getting all excited

about somebody new in your life.

And I know you'll only be gone a few months.

I judge you for taking for granted

that I'm always going to be here.

You're always running to somebody else

thinking they're going to fix you and you never run to me.

Just go.

I'd like some peace and quiet at my own house for once.

The fuck we doing here?

Christi Ann had some tax stuff mailed to her old address.

So Donna called me to come pick it up.

You didn't think to tell me

that we had to stop at my ex-girlfriend's house?

It's not like I wanted to run an errand from my ex.

It will be two seconds, relax.

Hey, Joe.

Hey, Donna, Damon.

Hey, man.

That tax stuff's in the mailbox.

Okay, thanks.

You look great, Joe.

Thanks, you do too.

You've been well?

Yeah, busy.

Yeah.

I'm really sorry about you and Christi Ann.

Oh, no, it was- it was great while it lasted.

Double checked, triple checked.

Ready to go.

I can't believe she's not going to come down.

Well, then you go get her.

Just hurry up, will you.

You know that airport shit takes forever.

Yeah, forget it.

Lets just go.

What time is the modeling audition thing you got to go to?

No specific time.

Don't worry about it.

Just come along for the ride.

Hey.

Stanny, can you come over?

You sure you want to do this?

Yeah, I need closure.

Closure, huh?

Is that like foreclosure?

Uh, closure is when something mends.

Both parties know why.

Foreclosure is when one party says to the other

to get the fuck out.

I've been a complete dick to you, huh?

Not completely.

I don't know why I love the people who are shitty to me,

but I'm shitty to the people who love me.

You deserve a girl

who loves you just as much as you love her.

You know what I love about you, Joe?

You don't got any meanness in you.

You need a place to stay?

Uh, nah, you don't got to put me up.

I know you like having your own place.

Sleep on it.

I'm sorry.

I just needed to...

I don't know.

You cry and I hold you.

Can you do something for me?

Anything.

Don't tell me you love me.

Fucking Haiti.

This is epic.

Yeah, it's great.

What are you doing?

You're not going to Haiti.

You know how you said I should write a love story?

Yes?

I did.

I just finished it.

I was working on it the whole time I was here

and I think it's good.

I bet it's great.

And- and the thing is, my computer blew a fuse

and now I lost it, but I ain't mad,

because I still have it up here

and I'm- and I'm going to write it again.

I think- I think you're going to like it.

Stanny, the thing that makes love such a strange word

is you can't really define it.

You either feel it or you don't.

I'm not in love with you, Stanny.

I know.

You know what summer said that upset me so much?

She said I'm cautious.

That I'm a coward.

Make me a promise, huh.

You don't- you don't got to love me,

but knowing that love is sometimes temporary

and always risky, when you do meet a guy you can love,

give it a shot.

Okay.

I promise.

Okay, let's make a deal.

When I get back, we're still friends.

Of course.

No, I'm serious.

Not like bullshit Facebook friends, real friends.

You'll get your own photo assignments

and we check each other's work

and we'll fuck sometimes, right.

You know, I feel like the fist bump

has kind of come to an end

and we should ask the black community

to come up with something new and cool for us to do.

- Fucker, if you need a ride,

this is the worst possible time.

I'm going to be late for my flight.

Yeah, I lost my computer, my script, my truck and my girl.

Walking is the least of my problems.

Hop in.

You've lost your truck and your girl?

I really miss my truck.

Perfect.

I don't have time to park my car.

Just- just take it.

It'll give you somewhere to sleep when I'm gone.

Hey, nice to see you.

I was in the neighborhood so I thought I'd stop by.

Oh, well ,what were you doing?

Somebody put me up for a job

and I realized it's not what I wanted to do.

Hmm, and what do you want to do?

I got an extra ticket to Haiti if you want to come.

A lot of volunteer opportunities down there.

You can really help humanity.

Fuck no.

We're both single now.

Probably on the fucking.

It'll be back.

If life is just a bunch of stories you go through

then relationships, family, friends, lovers,

they're like chapters.

There might be great chapters.

There are awful ones.

Or usually both.

Though whether they're family or a friend

the important thing, the people who love you the most,

the ones who are there for you even if you didn't ask them,

those are the ones you want to hang on to no matter what.

Your new place is great, bro.

Our new place.

You know, I gotta check out this bookstore

that you work at.

If I'm going to write a book I should probably read a few.

You're gonna write books instead of scripts?

I want to write both, you know.

Trying to diversify the fields in which I get rejected.

As the old expression goes,

it's better than have loved and lost

'cause that's how you play the game.

Yeah, life is just a bunch of stories you through.

They all end sooner or later.

That's okay.

I'm going to go find my next story.

I hope you do the same.

I miss Joe.
