(SLOW MUSIC)
BATTER: Come on Jack, you throw like a fucking girl.
This one's coming right at your vagina.
Okay, it was a little high.
(METALLIC THWACK)
All right, this ones coming right at your dick, sucker.
(LAUGHS)
Oh come on, come on motherfucker.
I warned you, I warned you.
Not the face.
(MEN GRUNTING)
(HEAVY THUDS)
Oh shit.
(HEAVY THUD) (CRACK)
Oh, how's your nose, Tony?
That looks like it hurt.
Let's go to Haps.
Let's go to the bar. Bar.
(UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC)
MAN WITH LONG HAIR: Where the fuck did you get this hat?
That's where I'm coming. Goddamn.
Bill, I'm not even kidding, though.
I saw this girl today.
She was like an angel.
Think about it. Jealous.
Think about it.
It goes against biology.
We evolved from chimpanzees and bonobos.
They just wiggle it around in a bunch of places.
Oh yeah, I bet you wiggle it around.
You been wiggling around in all places, don't you, Jack?
(WHOOPS)
Why is he always trying to make me run?
Danny, this isn't track, you fucking loser.
Hey. Ah.
Hey, buddy. Oh.
Where you been, dude?
How's your buddy Larry doing?
Larry, how you doing, buddy?
You're doing awesome, all right.
I'll drive today. Come on, let's go get drunk.
Danny, Jack.
Two of the good stuff.
What are you gonna do, Jack?
Are you gonna stay at the welding shop?
Are you gonna move on?
Fuck, I don't know, man.
Those fucking guys.
But you're better than that place, Jackie.
You are better than that fucking place, man.
JACK: Yeah, but fucking bills gotta get paid, right?
I gotta pee, gotta pee, I'll be back.
Fine, don't cheers me, bitch.
I heard that.
Woah, Robby.
Where were you today, dude?
ROBBY: What are you doin', dude, this is the men's room.
(DANNY LAUGHS)
That's the way.
That's the fucking way of the future, bro.
Yeah.
You don't need to say anything and I know you agree.
(GRUNTS) You know what I mean, it was like (GRUNTS).
Fuck you, dude, knock it off.
Get the fuck out of here.
Hey, that was me doing all that, by the way.
Oh yeah, you beat his ass, Jack?
I fucking cornered his nose. (DANNY LAUGHS)
Jack, it kinda freaks me out when you say shit like that.
Where's Nate, is he hanging out with that homo?
Dude, fucking Larry's the shit.
ROBBY: Larry smells like shit.
Oh, dude. What'll it be?
Am I right, am I right, Danny?
Hey, can I get two beers and a whisky?
Anything else, you let me know.
Thanks.
God, wow.
DANNY: Really?
Fuck, all right, Bill, I need a shot
of whisky for my buddy, Jessie.
ROBBY: He's gonna go for it.
He's gonna lose. Yep.
Jessie! There he goes.
So Janice is coming. How was work?
WOMAN: I hope so, she's with Mike.
At least he's cute.
So what are you ladies doing
hanging out with Clark Kent here?
(CHUCKLES) Look who's talking, Wolverine.
Ooh.
And you are?
Look, we're sort of in the middle of a conversation.
DANNY: So?
So you might have better luck elsewhere tonight.
All right.
(CROWD CHATTER)
Jack, you gotta learn to take criticism.
Oh my god, man, jeez.
ROBBY: No go?
(LAUGHS) Oh fuck, really?
Oh dude, I've never seen that before.
ROBBY: Shut the fuck up, Jack, you didn't even try.
Aw, shit.
What?
I heard what you did to Tony.
DANNY: Oh, I thought I broke his jaw.
You and your fucking club jumped him.
DANNY: Get the fuck off me.
(GRUNTING) (LOUD THUDS)
MAN: Brennan caused a fight.
ROBBY: Get the fuck out of here, Vince.
You got your fucking posse with you.
BILL: Vince, get the fuck out.
VINCE: I'll be seeing you.
(GRUNTS)
Nice, Vince, man.
Fucking missed it, dude.
Sorry, Bill.
JACK: Sorry, Bill.
You know what I'm talking about, Larry?
(CROWD CHATTER)
(SLOW GUITAR MUSIC)
Watch your light source.
So tomorrow, we'll begin to cover modernism
and how it evolved from the realistic style
of a neoclassical era.
This is gonna be an exciting look
at the cultural movements that began to move artists
into a new frame of abstract thinking
(CLAPS) and that's a wrap.
Have a good day.
(WATER RUNNING)
♪ I love everything about you ♪
♪ I see all that you can do ♪
JESSIE: Don't quit your day job, Danny.
Hey, Jessie.
Some day, I'm getting the hell out of this town, man.
You've seen the I-15 going south, right?
Oh yeah.
That's my road to freedom, man.
That's my road to freedom.
You've been saying that since
you got this shit job, Danny.
So this Professor Heller seems like she'll be okay.
I just hope she doesn't turn out like Hanley.
She's more than just a pretty scholar.
Her work has been shown in New York.
This is huge.
For a professional artist, she had a hell of a time
talking to a bunch of college kids.
She's used to art scholars in Chelsea.
She's just nervous. Who's nervous?
Oh, our new intermediate techniques
teacher, Professor Heller.
She's the one that replaced Hanley after the incident.
Oh yeah, wasn't he the hot one?
Ooh. Please.
(SLOW MUSIC)
Hey.
Hey, hey. Yeah?
Drop these?
Thanks.
You an artist?
I'm really late for class.
Thank you.
DANNY: Guys, what do you think
about getting out of here, man?
Why, man, go where?
DANNY: I don't know, see the fucking
world or something, you know?
What fucking money, man?
I don't know, some day we're gonna
have our own island, right Jack?
Yeah, yeah maybe I could own my own island
if my parents gave me some motivation.
At least you still have your parents.
At least your parents weren't fucking druggies.
By a bunch of orphans floppin' maniacs around.
ROBBY: That's true, your life is pretty fucked up,
but at least you weren't raised on the res.
Touche.
Yep, I'm fucked.
DANNY: You're fucked?
I'm fucked.
I'm fucked, we're all fucked.
Oh yes, man, we are all fucking fucked!
(EVERYONE WHOOPS AND SHOUTS)
(CROWD CHATTER) (DISHES CLINKING)
WOMAN: Hey.
You were at the bar the other day.
DANNY: What bar?
Haps.
I don't think so.
Listen, sorry if I've been rude.
I'm Parker. What?
I'm Parker.
Hey.
Okay.
See you around.
The government does not have your best interests in mind.
I know, dude. It's all a means
to an end for them.
Check it out. I agree.
ROBBY: The media, the internet,
it's all means of control.
I totally agree, dude. Dude, they don't
want you to think.
You to be an individual. It's fucked, man.
Oh my god, would you guys fucking stop
with the conspiracy shit?
It depresses me.
That's 'cause your life is depressing, Jack.
You know, the next time you knuckleheads
start going around screaming fuck America,
I'm gonna act like I don't even know you.
(SLOW MUSIC)
(FOOTSTEPS)
DANNY: My name's Daniel and you can call me Danny.
Nice to meet you, Daniel.
Danny.
Oh, I love painting.
I'm just not crazy about how things are run here, you know?
The program is nice, but I don't wanna
put all my eggs in one basket.
I get scared to.
Yeah, that'll do it.
I'd like to get to New York if I did though.
Yeah, New York would be awesome.
You don't seem like a big city guy.
What are you talking about, I've been there.
Really?
Yeah.
What?
Just because I wash dishes here and smoke cigarettes
and hit on chicks at the local dive bar,
you think I'm a hick, don't you?
I didn't say that.
What was up with you the other night anyway?
This big tough guy getting into fights.
Yeah, I like to think so.
Let me guess.
Seattle.
No, what makes you say that?
Because you have the whole Seattitude thing going on.
Yeah, the whole I'm a bohemian hippie
that acts like I don't have a lot of money,
but in reality probably come from a nice large trust fund,
which affords me the luxury of a college education,
but in reality, if I was like a lot of these poor families,
I wouldn't be acting like a pompous art junkie
who thought I could actually change the world.
That's Seattitude for you.
PARKER: Wow.
And you are who?
I didn't mean you were like that.
Oh, really?
I gotta go to class.
DANNY: So where you from?
Parker, are you thinking of pursuing this?
Education is my major sort of as a backup, but...
There are artists in New York
who work decades to create pieces like this.
Anyone with this kind of natural touch is blessed.
JANICE: So what was all
that shit with Heller today?
I have no idea.
I mean, she's a good teacher.
She's probably just trying to be supportive or whatever,
but I don't know, I guess it just weirds me out.
Well, she doesn't pull anybody else aside.
But you know we all have to bust our asses
to do something as half as good as what you do.
(SLOW MUSIC)
We should check this thing out, it's awesome.
I used to come here when I was little.
(PARKER CHUCKLES)
I've been here my whole life, but I wanna get out, you know?
PARKER: Family?
I have a brother who's older.
Parents?
Nah, that's a long story. (DOG BARKING)
So anyway, where are you from?
Seattle.
See, I knew it. (PARKER LAUGHS)
I knew it.
Hey, I love Seattle.
It's a beautiful city.
Oh, I know, I've been there.
You really get around.
DANNY: I do.
What do you mean, like what do I wanna do right now
or what do I wanna do in life?
Life.
I don't know, I definitely don't
wanna be a dishwasher my whole life, you know?
That job sucks my soul, man.
Sorry, I say man to everyone.
(PARKER LAUGHS)
So who were you with at the bar the other day?
Oh, those guys?
They're like my real family, you know?
Who was that guy who came up to you?
Don't worry about it. No, who was it?
Just some white trash bastard
I went to high school with.
He talked like there's a gang
or something in Helena, Montana.
I know, it's stupid.
If you were in a city, you'd probably be dead by now.
Okay, can we drop it please?
Sorry.
Don't be sorry, okay?
Man.
I gotta tell ya.
MAN: Daniel Brennan.
Shit.
What's up, Joe? Hey, Brennan.
What have you been up to?
You know, I haven't seen you in a while.
I know.
Since track senior year.
Yeah, that's right.
So what happened, you know?
You didn't go to Colorado?
Nah, no, I didn't.
That's a shame.
You know, you could've been something fantastic.
You know, toughest runner I ever saw.
Yeah, I'll tell my kid I ran into you.
Yeah, thanks, thanks, Joe.
(BELLS RINGING)
Yeah, I guess, but I think college is kind of overrated.
Overrated? You know what I'm saying?
Yeah. (PARKER LAUGHS)
I mean, it's like the perfect business plan.
They drill it all into your head through high school,
like what college are you gonna go to?
You gotta prepare for college, you know?
Well, a college degree is becoming
more and more necessary.
Yeah, I guess, I don't know.
Gets me depressed thinking about it.
What?
Like that guy said, you know?
I was supposed to be the next big runner, you know?
Really? Yeah, I used to run the 800.
I don't know, guess I just thought I didn't need it.
Threw it away.
So this your place, huh?
PARKER: Mm-hmm.
Well, we should hang out again.
Well, you know where I am.
Not a problem. All right, see you tomorrow.
Yep.
Woo!
(BARKS)
Coming to getcha.
(SIREN)
It's like run, Forrest, run (CHUCKLES).
(JACK GRUNTS)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man.
I ain't got no fight with you, man.
Think you got no beef with me, huh?
You tell your boy, Danny,
he knows where to find me.
Bitch!
(HEAVY THUD) (JACK GRUNTS)
(SLOW GUITAR MUSIC)
(SLOW ROCK MUSIC)
Chase the guy who's got a fucking limp, you know?
I can't run with this foot.
I can't fucking run with this fucking foot.
Goddamn retarded foot.
(CARS HONKING)
I didn't stand my ground, man.
I didn't stand my ground.
Don't tell Robby I tried to run, all right?
Don't worry about it.
Time to settle this, man.
(CARS DRIVING BY)
Oh, man.
VINCE: Hey.
Here they come.
VINCE: Who wants to bleed first?
Well, we got five on five, it should be pretty fair.
Oh wait, you have Tony.
(HEAVY THUDS) (MEN GRUNTING)
Get Jack.
(HEAVY THUDS) (MEN GRUNTING)
Come on, Jack.
Come on, good job, let's go.
(VINCE YELLS)
Get fucking messed up.
Fuck him up, Danny. You're a bitch, Vince.
(HEAVY THUD)
Fuck. Yeah, Danny.
Yeah.
Fucking pig. Yeah.
Let's roll. All right.
JESSIE: Let's get a drink.
NATE: Catch you later, bitches.
Danny, you just beat Vince's ass.
I know, dude. Yeah, you fucked him up.
Jack fucking chokes you. (NATE LAUGHS)
Wrestling, awesome, wrestling champs.
You saved my life. Good spider monkey, dude.
NATE: And right when I turned
that punk around and just whack.
That was for you, man, we do that for you.
(DANNY GRUNTS)
I love you.
Woo, woo, woo!
(JACK AND DANNY WHOOP)
I love it.
You did this?
Yeah, that's my house at home.
I mean, you're amazing.
This is amazing.
Thanks. Damn.
I gotta take you to this place sometime.
What place?
Oh, you'll see.
It'll inspire you.
Well, do you want some tea or coffee
or I have beer or wine?
I'll take a beer.
Damn.
I'm telling you, man.
What, man?
Okay, Parker.
No, I gotta tell you, like,
your paintings, I mean it just
makes me wanna do something with my life.
Well, what do you wanna do?
I don't know.
I always thought I could be a good coach.
I was always into how teams connected
and played off of each other
and how people connect, you know what I'm saying?
You should read Siddhartha.
Yeah, I've heard of that.
(PARKER CHUCKLES)
It's all about connection.
DANNY: Really?
Yeah.
How everything, people, animals, nature, objects
are all connected,
but the main character has to go through
all these trials and life experiences
in order to realize it.
It's like no religion or philosophy
or teachings can provide the answers for him.
He has to experience it for himself.
Woah.
PARKER: Yeah.
Um,
have you ever been in love?
I don't think so.
I guess a little, but it never worked out.
You?
Oh yeah, I've been in love.
There was this one girl, Sarah.
I was totally into her.
It was like love at first sight, you know?
That's absurd. What?
I don't believe in love at first sight.
What are you talking about?
There's love at first sight.
I always have to know the person first.
DANNY: No, there's totally love at first sight.
Maybe lust at first sight.
No, I have experienced it.
PARKER: How old were you?
18.
Oh my god.
Um,
I should probably go,
but thanks for the beer
and your paintings are incredible.
What?

A Native American chief Blue Cloud died here.
Like, these four rock formations?
They represent four great chiefs.
My buddy Jessie took me here for the first time.
Maybe you aren't an uncultured hick.
I wouldn't go that far.
This is beautiful, Danny.
In moments before a big track meet, I'd come up here
and reflect on the moment ahead, you know?
Why did you give it up?
You don't have to tell me.
It was my senior year
and I was contending for first in the state.
See, my Dad, he was an encourager.
He made you believe you could do anything, Parker.
Anything.
They were at every single track meet, my parents.
The second to last meet of the year, divisionals,
I ran my best race.
I didn't see him there though.
Turned out a semi driver fell asleep on the road.
Oh god, Danny.
I haven't ran since.
I just couldn't.
Threw away my full ride into Colorado.
I don't know what to say.
But Parker,
when I'm around you, it's like I'm in this dream
and everything else just fades away.
I don't wanna be separated from you.
You're never gonna be.

I actually haven't started it yet.

I know, I'm working on it all day

I have a confession to make.
Uh-oh. I've never been to Seattle.
I know. I've never even
I haven't even left the state of Montana, Parker.
You will.
How'd you know?
I could just tell.
How could you tell?
'Cause.
You work as a dishwasher and you smoke cigarettes
and you hit on chicks at the local dive (LAUGHS).
I know.
That's how I found you.
(PARKER LAUGHS)
There it is, Parker.
What?
DANNY: That's freedom.
Freedom? Yeah, freedom, man.
That's the I-15 going south.
That's the road to freedom right there.
Right there.
PARKER: Where does it go?
It goes to Butte and then Colorado.
And then?
I don't know.
I haven't ran in six years, Parker.
I mean, it,
it cleansed my spirit.
That's how I feel about painting, Danny.
Yeah?
Yeah, it's like I feel connected, you know?
Yeah.
(SLOW GUITAR MUSIC)
PARKER: It's beautiful, Danny.
Thanks.
Thank you.
I have lyrics to it.
Sing it.
No.
PARKER: Come on.
No, I can't sing.
PARKER: Yes, you can.
No, I cannot.
PARKER: I've heard it.
DANNY: When?
In the shower.
Shit.
(PARKER LAUGHS)
I will, just let me practice it.
So I've been going to the homeless shelter a lot lately.
DANNY: Yeah, I know.
You should come.
It's depressing.
Might give you some perspective.
DANNY: On what?
That your life isn't that depressing.
I never said it was.
Are you still fighting?
Am I gonna see you at the gallery tonight?
Of course, I would not miss that.
PARKER: I gotta go meet Janice.
Okay.
(SLOW GUITAR MUSIC)
One beer, I can do one beer and then I gotta go.
Why?

I got Parker's show tonight.

You got that look, Rob.
I just haven't seen you at all lately
and now guess who your substitute is?
Jack, Jack.

I don't know.

Like I was reading somewhere that Colorado
accepts walk-ons for their track team.
That'd be cool. (SLOW ROCK MUSIC)

Feels like I'm losing a brother.
Yeah, dude, I love her.
Fuck that.

Just don't do it, Robby.

Parker.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
The showcase ended a half hour ago.
DANNY: Is Parker still here?
She's gone.
And if you're the one she was waiting for all night,
you need to understand what you're doing to her.
What?
What am I doing to her?
Her lack of focus on her work
and her focus on you is holding her back.
She's gonna lose an opportunity in New York because of you.
Look at you.
Parker deserves better than this.
Danny.
Are you okay? (WATER RUNNING)
DANNY: Yeah, babe, sorry.
Sorry I missed the gallery.
What the hell happened?
What do you think?
Dammit, Danny, did you get in a fight?
No, no, I slipped on my ass, yeah.
Yes, I got in a fight.
Robby's a bad influence.
DANNY: Shut up.
What the hell, Danny.?
Just stop please.

You get worried about me?
I mean, come on.
Fuck you then, Danny.
Oh. Fuck you.

Dude, I'm sorry about last night.
I was being a dumb ass.
Super dumb ass, man.
Thanks, Nate.
I'm sorry, bro.
No, man, but,
I mean, you fucked up the other night, man.
That fight should not have happened.
All right, dude.
I mean, that was a fucking meth head, dude.
All right, well, what about all the times I saved your ass
picking fights on the res?
Dude, I was 17. Like that was any smarter?
I was 17, man.
I mean, come on, it's not a matter
of saving your ass anyway.
I love you, dude.
It's a matter of not getting into those
fucking situations anymore, man.
I mean, fuck. All right.
All right, all right.
God.
I mean, I have got to stop this shit, dude.
I mean, we are the only ones
that like to fucking get in fights anymore, man.
Fine.
What the fuck have you been up to lately/
What do you mean?
I mean ever since you and Parker
been fucking, you got soft.
Am I right, guys?
Dude, don't bring Parker into this fucking shit, dude.
This is our deal, man.
Parker's the one that turned you into a fucking pussy.
(DOOR SLAMS SHUT)
Dammit.
You fucked up last night, man, end of story.
I'm an asshole.
Yeah, you are. Shut up.
(BELLS RINGING IN DISTANCE)
PARKER: Are you okay?
Yeah.
PARKER: Come on, Danny, talk.
DANNY: I'm okay, I just,
I gotta get out of this shit, you know?
PARKER: Yeah.
I know.
Wait, wait, wait.
I love you, okay?
I know.
I love you.
(SOFT ROCK MUSIC)
Hey, Larry.
Thanks for helping last night
when the meth head tried to kill my friend.
You remember that?
Huh?
Are you gonna say anything?
Sorry about last night. Shut up.
I know. Well, let me say it.
Say you're sorry you picked a fight
with a meth head in my bar?
Sorry I had to call the cops
and make up some bullshit story for you?
I didn't pick the fight with him, Bill.
Just stop, okay?
'Cause if it's not you, it's Robby
and if it's not Robby, it's you.
Every goddamn time.
Why are you losing her?
I don't know.
You've been coming in here since you were a kid
just old enough to look over the bar.
Back then, I saw a young kid with promise.
I saw your Dad in you.
Get the hell out of here, man.
Thanks, Bill. All right.
DANNY: Thanks.
(SLOW HUMMING MUSIC)
Babe, what you working on?
It's a secret.
You're home early. Yeah.
Thanks.
You look beautiful.
Shut up.
(SLOW PIANO MUSIC)
What the fuck is his problem?
It's like ever since Parker happened, he's never around.
(SOFT ROCK MUSIC)
Homo (COUGHS).
What the hell, Jack?
Shut the fuck up, Jack.
I will beat your ass.
Dude, I'm fucking kidding, man.
Danny'll come around.
He's in love, man.
Bill, three shots.
ROBBY: Fuck that, let's get out of here.
Never mind, Bill.
JESSIE: Fuck that, I'm staying, getting drunk.
Jessie's staying, keep the shots, Bill.
Hey, Robby.
Remember when we were kids
and those older dudes were
beating on me in the fourth grade?
You and Danny were the only ones who backed me up,
even though you knew you'd get beat down as bad as me.
ROBBY: Yeah?
And remember junior year of high school?
Danny took the rap for us, man.
Even though it almost got him kicked off the fucking team.
What's your point, Jack?
We've always been there for each other.
Always.
That's not gonna change, especially for a girl, man.
(SLOW PIANO MUSIC) I mean, he loves her,
but we're his boys.
I just miss him, dude.
I miss coming up here, all five of us.
Bullshitin', jokin' around.
(TRUCK APPROACHES)
Look who it is.
(SLOW ROCK MUSIC)
Steward of the king.
That's good vocab, Vince.
You finally graduated fifth grade?
Where's your boyfriend?
I'm the only one who's allowed to call my friends homos.
Four of you and two of us.
Problem is your boy Danny really fucked up this time.
Danny doesn't fight anymore.
Tell that to my fucking cousin.
33 stitches across his face, crushed his fucking nose in.
I didn't know that was your fucking cousin, Vince.
I thought this shit was done, but it's just got personal.
Now I gotta take one of Danny's boys to the hospital.
Woah, Vince.
This was my fault.
If you gotta fuck someone up,
Fuck you, Robby. Shut the fuck up, Jack.
You're fighting, I'm fighting.
Jack, I've always liked your spirit.
Can't fight worth a damn, but at least you try.
It's too bad.
Let's get this motherfucker.
ROBBY: No, no.
(MEN GRUNTING)
Watch this, motherfucker.
(HEAVY THUDS) (MEN GRUNTING)
(WHOOPS)
(SAD MUSIC)
Do you like what you see, bitch?
Let's get the fuck out of here.
You tell Danny where he can find me.
Jack.
VINCE: Go, go.
(TRUCK STARTS)
(TRUCK DRIVES AWAY) Oh, fuck Jack.
Oh fuck.
(GRUNTS)
Jack.
(PHONE RINGS) (SLOW ROCK MUSIC)
Hello?
Robby, what up, man?
Robby, I can't hear you, man.
(SLOW PIANO MUSIC)
No, you fuck.
No, Jack, no.
No.
You come back.
♪ Oh ♪
♪ Ah ♪
♪ Yeah ♪
♪ Oh ♪
♪ Ah ♪
Goddammit.
You know, if Danny would've been there,
we could've taken those guys.
Come on, Robby.
Let's just play the game, man.
No, in the old days, it would have
been Danny, Jack, and me.
The Three Musketeers.
It's not his fault, Robby.
Just drop it, man.
You know, I used to be able to depend on Danny.
Now, no.
Yeah, if Danny would have been there,
Jack would be playing this game with us right now.
(LOUD CRASH) (ROBBY AND DANNY GRUNTING)
They need this, man.
(HEAVY THUDS) (ROBBY AND DANNY GRUNTING)
(DOG BARKING)
(DOOR CLOSES)
I fold.
(DOOR OPENS)
DANNY: Is Jack in his room?
Yeah, bro.
Robby's with him.
Hey, Danny.
How you doing, man?
Really good, man.
Danny, you'd be proud.
We kicked their asses.
Sure you did, dude.
JACK: Where's Robby?
Doctors say he'll never be the same.
Look, Rob.
I'm sorry too.
Give me a cigarette.
Got a light?
'Sup?
My god.
Do you like it?
I love it.
I gotta go hang out with Robby.
I thought we were going to the movies today.
I know, babe, but I got to.
This, this is beautiful.
Danny.
Look, I was at the gallery and I talked to Heller.
And?
Danny, where is this relationship, where are we going?
DANNY: I don't know, forward.
Forward.
Yeah.
Look, look, I'm sorry, okay?
What about?
DANNY: No, I don't because I'm not a fucking mind-reader.
I don't see you anymore, Danny.
Just, can you stop please?
Look, I'm sorry.
PARKER: Don't.
Dammit.
PARKER: What did you say to him?
The truth.
PARKER: The truth?
After everything that you've done...
Stop.
It's my life.
It's smothering you.
Look, you've got so many late and missing assignments.
You're not gonna pass unless it changes today.
Look, a year ago, there's no way I could have done that
and I started doing that when Danny came into my life.
Parker, you've got the passion.
All you need is the drive.
You just need to find a balance before you burn out.
Otherwise you're gonna find yourself stuck.
Wait.
What's this?
Pack for New York.
(PARKER CHUCKLES)
(SLOW MUSIC)
I was wondering when you'd show.
It's over, Vince.
It is over.
You gonna be a little pussy now?
You gonna be a little chicken shit?
(GRUNTS)
How's your boy Jack doing now?
Your retard.
(SOFT SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Come on, Vince, it is over, man.
Are you serious?
Hit me.
Okay.
Get out of here.
Get the fuck out of here.
(CAR STARTS AND DRIVES AWAY)
(SLOW MUSIC)
Babe.
Babe, your eggs are getting cold.
(SIGHS)
Parker.
Are you okay?
What are we doing?
PARKER: What do you mean?
I mean, you're obviously not happy with me right now.
Yes, I am.
You're the one who's not happy.
Maybe you're right.
What?
I don't know, I love you, Parker.
I love you, I just,
but... But what?
I don't know.
I feel like you're smothering me
and I'm smothering you.
This is news to me.
Parker, one of my best friends almost lost his life.
So this is what this is about?
I just feel like I need to
spend some time with those guys, okay?
All right?
All right, I am sorry.
If you wanna break up with me,
why don't you just do it?
Are you serious?
Danny.
Maybe just a break.
A fucking break?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I just,
I just can't.
I just,
I'm not the man you want me to be.
I,
I wish I was.
PARKER: Why, Danny?
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
(MELANCHOLY PIANO MUSIC)
(SOBS)
(SLOW ROCK MUSIC)
JACK: Danny's going to state.
You're gonna smoke 'em, Danny.
Can't do it.
Danny's going to state.
Number one, Danny.
Danny's number one.
Come on.
Come on, Parker, pick up.
Hey.
How are you doing?
Yeah?
How you doing?
Yeah?
New York, that's awesome.
Yeah.
You're gonna go?
Yeah, can I meet you there?
Okay.
All right.
All right, see ya.
Man, four years went by way too fucking fast.
I'm gonna miss you guys so much.
(LAUGHS)
Come 'ere.
(LAUGHS)
Are you guys gonna come to New York and visit me?
JANICE: Yes.
(PARKER LAUGHS) Of course.
(SOFT ROCK MUSIC)
Jameson, man.
(FOOTSTEPS)
Larry.
What up?
How's your friend been?
Nate, Nate has been spiraling down.
I meant Parker.
You know Parker?
LARRY: I see her at the shelter all the time.
(DANNY CHUCKLES)
Does she talk about me?
Not lately.
(COUGHS)
You're a good kid, but you're me 10 years ago.
I had a chance to stop coming in here.
I had a chance to fix it.
Don't let your habits get you, that's all I'm saying.
Take me to the shelter.

Hey, what'd you think of that book I gave you?
Oh. You liked it?
Yeah, it's all right. Good.
DANNY: Nate.
NATE: Hey, Danny.
I didn't know you worked here, man.
Oh, it ain't work, Danny.
This is love, man.
You should come help.
Come on around the counter here.
All right, I will.
I'm Danny, how's it going?
Going good, how you doing? Good, it's chilly.
Jimmy, this is Danny.
Nice to meet you.
I have trouble scooping that bitch up.
Ribs. (LAUGHS) I know.
Well work on it. (LAUGHS) Oh, okay.

What are you doing?
Quitting my day job, man.
JESSIE: You hit me up, cousin, you hit me up.
(WHOOPS)
(INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC)
You are one insane son of a bitch, Danny.
So Parker's leaving for New York today, huh?
DANNY: Yeah.
You miss her?
So anyway, dude, what are you doing tonight?
Haps, man.
There's this girl, Nancy.
So what were you saying about Colorado?
Accepting walk-ons?
Yeah, dude, I looked into it,
but shit, I had a full ride there once, Robby.
Isn't that right, Jack?
Man, shit.
Woah, woah, woah, dude.
What's that about?
I miss seeing you spill your guts on the track, Danny.
I mean, I'm gonna drink beer and get in fights
and hopefully get laid every once in a while,
probably for the rest of my life.
I'm a fucking cook.
Now I got Jack following me around
like a fucking dog and I love him,
but that's my life and I dig it.
I'm happy.
You got all this angst.
Ever since the accident happened, man,
you haven't been happy.
You weren't even happy with Parker.
I don't know what it is you gotta do, but you gotta do it.
Get the fuck out of here. (DANNY CHUCKLES)
You keep that left hook strong, Jack.
I'll see you soon, man.
