Appreciate the comments 8 00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:30.039 I got from. 9 00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.640 A bunch of you regarding the screenplay. I've been told 10 00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:39.880 to keep reading it, so I'm going to We're halfway home. 11 00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:44.600 We're on page fifty and if you remember correctly from yesterday, 12 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:47.520 Dino and I are. And by the way, I think 13 00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.759 I said this before, but if I say Gino instead 14 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:53.560 of Dino, it's just because my cousin's real name is Geno. 15 00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.719 I don't know why I chose Dino. There came a 16 00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.840 point right before this, right when the book was about 17 00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:04.079 to published, a cousin, Gino, was loving it and he 18 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:10.480 was reading the chapters, and I think his husband got 19 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.719 under his skin, and suddenly Gino had a problem with 20 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.480 certain things in the book, and it was a whole thing. 21 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:18.519 It's fine, I mean we've seen each other. I'll see 22 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.519 him in Chicago a couple of weeks, but I said, 23 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.040 fuck it, I'll use Dino into the geno. But either way, 24 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:30.560 we are now in my backyard at night, and a 25 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.359 light wind blows in off the salty canal. Al stands 26 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.040 alone in the dark, wearing only his shorts and sandals. 27 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.719 He stands off into the night on the dock, close 28 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:46.359 on Al's face, fixated on a spot interior AJ's room. Nighttime. 29 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.840 AJ closes the Mad magazine. He twists around to see 30 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.560 Dino still peeking out in the backyard. AJ is irritated. 31 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.959 What are you doing? Dino? Turn off the light? Why? 32 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.480 Aj clicks off the small lamp, attacks to us bedframe. 33 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.439 He climbs down to join Dino at the window. Both 34 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.359 boys peer out into the night. From the boys point 35 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.520 of view, we see Al standing at the edge of 36 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.400 the yard looking off in the distance. Excuse me, Dono, 37 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.639 what's he looking at? What are those lights lay out there? Aj? 38 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:24.080 What lights? Dino points at the horizon edge. That that's 39 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.520 New York City. That's the city, my dad. You can 40 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.199 see the twin towers from our roof. But he won't 41 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.120 let me go up there alone. Do you know he's 42 00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.400 just staring out there? AJ slide down from the window. 43 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.639 He does his best to distract Dino from the window. 44 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.400 I got thirty mad magazines here. Do you know why 45 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.960 is he doing that? Aj? He does it a lot 46 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:50.120 at night. Why I don't know? And stop asking. My 47 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.560 mother told me to never ask him, so you know, 48 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.840 and she was serious, So I don't ask. Dinos thinks 49 00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.759 back down from the window. AJ hands with a magazine. 50 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.800 He is hesitant, but then takes one. Both fall back 51 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:06.319 into their beds. Exterior backyard day. AJ stands in the 52 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.960 shallow end of the pool. Dino floats in the far 53 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:10.759 end of the pool, wearing a T shirt and a 54 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.879 Tacki floatation device. He has on a large pair of 55 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.800 designer sunglasses. Alice nearby, turning over soil in the garden. 56 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:22.439 Lily sits with Row in lawn chairs, thumbing through magazines. Rosalie, 57 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.120 this rock cuts in is so handsome. She holds up 58 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:30.319 a photo to her mother. She nods, Lily, I never 59 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:33.719 miss his movies. What a ladies man he was. AJ 60 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.319 Dad says he's a fruitcake and he knows about stuff 61 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:41.000 like that. Rosalie, AJ, you gotta start using your own mind. 62 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:45.560 Dad thinks everybody's a fruitcake. Lily silences Row as she 63 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.039 points to Dino and appears to be as he appears 64 00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.199 to be asleep as he floats towards the shallow end. 65 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:55.840 I'm just saying, mah aj Dad says he bangs women 66 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.000 with big breast to fool everyone. Lily, don't use the 67 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:03.240 word bang. It's love making. Aj. I don't know about that, ma. 68 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.680 Not everybody that does it is in love. Rosie. Oh, 69 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.280 now you're an expert, the fourteen year old expert on love. 70 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.080 Ol wife's his sweaty bra aj Hey Dad, Al walks 71 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:16.839 over to the jumps in the pool. He comes to 72 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.480 the surface, grabbing aj around the waist, he throws them 73 00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.360 in the air. Aj Dad stop. I need to tell 74 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:26.199 Rosalie isn't rock huts, touty fruity al clear as a 75 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.160 round two by four.

He listens in. 78 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.600 Rosalie rolls her eyes. Al eight percent of the actors 79 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.639 are pole climbers, and the women are all carpet munches. 80 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:47.120 The whole town is filled with them, Lily, Al, come on, AJ, 81 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:52.000 date carpet Why Dad, Al, I'll tell you later.

She said, I'm exhausting. 86 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:07.920 What's the difference between exhausting and an inquisitive, Rosalie. People 87 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.319 say a person is an inquisitive if they have the 88 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:12.879 answer to your question. If they don't, then they call 89 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:17.879 you exhausting. Dino says, then what is nosey? They all 90 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.240 turn to look at Dino. Not a word. Exterior Mimi 91 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:25.240 Mayor's home. Daytime close on AJ's face. He stands at 92 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.279 the front door of Mimi's home nervously bites his lip. 93 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.639 Dino stands off, holding onto AJ's bike curb side, looking on. 94 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.879 Ad looks back at Dina as the door front door opens. 95 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.319 Missus Mayor, an attractive blonde woman, opens the door. Yes, 96 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.439 is Mimi home.

Mimi is torn between scolding Ag again or 116 00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.319 just giving in. Kissing him one more time. She looks 117 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.800 over his shoulder. From her point of view, we see 118 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.160 Dino standing curbside with the bike. He's now surrounded by 119 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.560 three young boys. Mimi, what do they want? AJ turns, 120 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.120 oh God, hold on without prodding. Mimi hurries down the 121 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:16.680 steps with age on her heels. Exterior street daytime. Dino 122 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.800 appears nervous. On each side of him stand three Dugan boys. 123 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:23.600 AJ takes the by kandle from Dino. Mimi stands cross arm, 124 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.879 glaring at the visitors. The older of the boys, Marty Dugan, 125 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.000 looks Dino up and down. Marty is just a cousin 126 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.759 from Jersey. He laughs, a devilish laugh. The middle aged 127 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:37.519 dug and Danny steps toward Dino. Danny looks a little 128 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.560 light in the loafers if you ask me, Aj and 129 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:42.920 even match for Danny goes nose to nose with him. 130 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.800 He keeps a careful lie in the older, more menacing Marty. 131 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.600 Why don't you shut your face, Danny. Marty grabs a 132 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.360 hold of AJ's bike and sits on it. Marty, nice bike, Denza, 133 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:55.920 You're riding your little cousin around on it must be 134 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.680 a lot of fun, huh.

Marty, I'm talking to you, Sally, Dino winces. 137 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.639 He looks toward AJ for direction. Mimi jumps right in. Oh, 138 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.399 so you're tough, right, Dino's a friend of mine. And 139 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:14.319 if you don't leave, Age and I are both gonna 140 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.040 kick your asses. Marty drops the bike on the ground. 141 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.120 He walks up to Mimi. Really, who are you gonna take? 142 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:22.959 Mimi says, first, I'll kick your little brother and the 143 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.680 balls as hot as I can.

Then, when you fighting AJ, I'll rip 145 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:31.680 Shitthead's eyes out with my sharp nails and blind them. 146 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.480 AJ tries to speak, but she continues that. She moves 147 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.279 closer to the trailer, to the taller and stronger Marty. 148 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.559 And after I'm done with him and he's laying on 149 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.840 the ground crying with the eyeballs, I'll jump on your 150 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:44.679 back and rip your face off. I think AJ can 151 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:47.200 keep you busy till I'm done with your ugly retarded brothers. 152 00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.120 Marty laughs a nervous laugh. He looks toward his two 153 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:53.399 younger brothers, who are clearly wishing they had never stopped. 154 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:57.279 He's met his match for the moment Marty nice girlfriend, 155 00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:00.840 Benza filthy mouth.

Dino steps forward, picks 158 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.399 up the bike, climbs on awkwardly, then pedals off towards 159 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.759 the safety of the Benza home. There's a long, awkward silence. 160 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:19.000 Marty turns, the heads off.

We go fishing, 184 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:38.320 Like I said, we gotta get stuff to eat on 185 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:41.240 the fifth. Mimi hesitates. She looks back at the front 186 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.279 door of her house as her mother locks the door, 187 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.080 then heads down the front steps toward the driveway. I 188 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.799 got to ask my parents, but I'm sure it'll be okay, Aj. 189 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.960 They can come too. Some of the neighbors show up, 190 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.759 and my dad's old friends from the police department to come. 191 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.360 If anyone gets drunk, my dad lets them sleep on 192 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.320 the lawn chairs. If it rains, we will the lawn 193 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:04.039 chairs into the garage and they sleep there till the morning. Mimi, 194 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.679 all right, I'm not gonna buy my parents, but like 195 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.559 I said, I'm sure it's okay. Aj smiles a boy 196 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.279 or smile. She likes it. She turns and heads off 197 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.200 toward her mother, who was now waiting in the family car. 198 00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.200 Lorraine's bedroom day, Loraine is rummaging through her closet. She 199 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.559 takes out several items and tosses them onto her bed. 200 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.559 Dino appears in the doorway. He's still out of breath 201 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.960 from his bike ride. She approaches him. Loraene, what's wrong, Dino? 202 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.679 Nothing bullshit? He looked like you saw a ghost. She 203 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:34.679 takes his hand in hers and leads them over to 204 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:36.639 the bed. He sits at the foot of the bed 205 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:40.919 alongside the large white book Our Bodies, Ourselves. Lorraine, where's Aj? 206 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.960 And while? Are you out of breath? Dina is drawn 207 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:45.960 to the book. She pulls it away and sits next 208 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:51.879 to him. Talk he's with Mimi, Lorraine. Who's that his girlfriend? 209 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:56.919 She's nice girlfriend. Come on, Dino, some kids wore bother me. 210 00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.679 So Memi and AJ told me to go home and 211 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:02.080 they were gonna fight. I guess, Loraene, Him and this 212 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:05.919 girl I'm going to fight some kids. Yeah. She reaches 213 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.919 for the book. She hands it back. She hands him 214 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:10.600 back to him. He's quick to thumb through the pages. 215 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:13.600 She watches him. Lorraine, there are some pictures in there 216 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.799 with naked women. I'm not sure if you should see him? 217 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:19.200 He turns through her. Why. I don't know. Maybe it'll 218 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.399 help me. I mean, I don't think you need help. 219 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:24.559 I'm just saying, Din know, I know what people think. 220 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.240 I see naked women all the time. In my father's room. 221 00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.399 He's got magazines. Lorraine, Oh my god, what's wrong with 222 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.600 this family? What's wrong with the men in this family? 223 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.399 Dino stops on a photo. His face shows disgust. She 224 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:39.639 takes the book away from him. I'm sorry. Some of 225 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.320 the pictures are gross, I know, but girls can learn 226 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:46.279 things that parents won't talk about. Can I ask you something? 227 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:49.279 Do you know what? She points up with the poster 228 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:53.279 of Davy Jones from The Monkeys. Do you like Davy Jones? 229 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:57.279 Dino nods. How about Burt Reynolds. He shakes his head. No, 230 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:02.039 he's Harry and he seems kind of mean. Lorraine. I 231 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.000 think he's sexy, but he does that like an asshole 232 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.720 sometimes my friend Paula says, he looks like an ape. 233 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:10.320 So to each his own. The two sits sound for 234 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:14.360 a moment. He notices an outfit lying on the bed, Lorraine, 235 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:18.639 that's a bill gibtop, Dino says. Nice. He reaches for 236 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.639 another item. It's a rap dress. Diane von Furstenberg Dino, 237 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:25.840 my friends. My friend Rick's mother wears them to work. 238 00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:28.799 She works in an office with a lot of men. Lorraine. Well, 239 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.600 it's a symbol of female power. My dad would burn 240 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:33.320 it if he saw it, and if AJ saw it, 241 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.879 he tattled out right away. Dino laughs. She notices it. 242 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:41.080 I hope bakings being nice to you. He is. I 243 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.600 think he's funny. Really, I think my brother can be 244 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.440 an idiot sometimes, Dino says, I know what you mean. 245 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:51.840 But he protected me today, him and Mimi in Lorraine. 246 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.639 That's a miracle. He's probably just showing off to hear 247 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.000 a noise downstairs. She quickly shoves the book under the 248 00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.960 pile of clothes. Her mother appears in the doorway. Lily, 249 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.919 what are you two doing? Not them? She looks around 250 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.080 the room, then back of the two of them. Whatever 251 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.799 it is, your father better and I'll find out she 252 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.440 walks off, leaving the two smelling at each other. Exterior 253 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.440 fluke shoals afternoon. Alan Aj stand knee high in the 254 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.480 flats of the bay. The beautiful white sandbar runs to 255 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.759 the edge of the bay. Al dating into the sand 256 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.960 with a clam rakers. Aj twists and turns with the 257 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:25.919 heels of his feet. He also holds tight to the 258 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:29.879 edge of the small aluminum boat. Al let go of 259 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.279 the boat, AJ, I like to be near, just in 260 00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.200 case that. Dino sits in the boat with an oversized 261 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:38.159 life jacket wrapped around a skinny torso. He's wearing a 262 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:41.159 large straw hat and sunglasses and zinc oxide on his nose. 263 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:47.480 Dino says, nervously, just in case what Alan terrupts, Here 264 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:50.399 we go. I got a two for here. Lifting the 265 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.000 clam rake, He removes two medium sized clams. He holds 266 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.720 them under the water for a moment to rinse the 267 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.440 sand off. First catch today, Come on, Aj, We've got 268 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.799 a long way to go. Signo then tosses the clams 269 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:04.159 in him. Dino flails his arms in an attempt to 270 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.399 catch even one of the clams. They both hit the 271 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:08.879 floor of the boat. Al, you can't let them hit 272 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:10.519 the floor of the boat. You got to catch them 273 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.639 and put him in the bushel basket. Dino try one 274 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.600 at the time. They don't bite, do they. Al Shakeson's head, 275 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.320 then goes back to his raking. He mumbles under his breath. 276 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:22.879 AJ says, they can't bite you. They got no teeth. Okay, 277 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.720 but a razor clam will rip your arterie open. You'll 278 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.399 bleed out and bring in the sharks. Then then it's 279 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:32.559 all over, you know, Dino shutters. Aj smiles a sinister smile, 280 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.840 continues to twist and turn. AJ. I feel something, Al, 281 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:40.440 what do you want a trophy? Pick the goddamn thing up. 282 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:45.159 Aj leans down, lifts up a small rock. Aj a rock, 283 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.840 toss it to Dino, who attempts to catch it, but 284 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.399 it also hits the floor of the boat. Dino bends 285 00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:53.919 over and lifts a small stone up. He examines it closely. 286 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.200 Dino says, can I keep this? Al glances over. AJ's 287 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.000 back to twisting. AJ, you want a rock, Godead, it's yours. 288 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.600 I'll give it to my dad for his desk. He 289 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:08.000 puts it in his pocket. Al moses to Aj Al, 290 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.559 bring the boat over here. I just hit the motherload. Quick, 291 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:14.919 hurry up, hurry up. AJ carefully watches where he steps 292 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:16.600 as he makes his way over to where his father 293 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:20.240 furiously digs into the sand. Dina lifts his face heavenward, 294 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:24.919 taking in the sun exterior canal. Later, Al slowly maneuvers 295 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.919 the skiff up to his dock. AJ reaches out takes 296 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:31.919 a hold of one of them dock lines. Dina remains seated. Al, 297 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.919 good work, he Jane. Tie that to the bell. Throw 298 00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:37.919 the other line to Dino, and Dino, you can tie 299 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:42.039 that line to the cleat. Dino, what's the cleat? Frustrated, 300 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:44.360 Al points to the small metal fixture attached to the 301 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.720 boat's hull. AJ throws the line to Dino. He fails 302 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:50.080 to catch it. He attempts to do it again. The 303 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:52.720 line Hitstino in the face. Al throws his hands up 304 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.039 in the air. Forget it. I'll tie it tomorrow. We're 305 00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.000 gonna have a noctying class. AJ. Maybe the next day, Dad, 306 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.320 Tomorrow's party. Al kills the energy. He turns to his son. 307 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.160 I told your mother there's no party this year. I 308 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:10.960 was one hundred percent clear on that. She says, you 309 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.359 said it every year. That bull shit. You should know better. 310 00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:16.599 Aj Aj says, we already got people coming. Dad the 311 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.160 Lucas catering some of the stuff, and Rosie and Mom 312 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:21.599 are inside cooking right now. They said they cook while 313 00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:25.279 we were out climbing. God, damn it. Why are you 314 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.759 telling me now? Aj shrugs. Even you say I can't 315 00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:31.960 keep a secret, so I'm telling you now, al you 316 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:33.839 should have told me last week or two days ago. 317 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.440 Now I'm the prick if I raise hell. Al turns 318 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:40.000 to Dino. Did you know about the party? Dino says 319 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.680 sort of, then you should have told me. I would 320 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:44.359 have knocked you up a few notches in my book. 321 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.920 I need my boys watching my back. Alice secures the line. 322 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:51.799 He holds the boat steady as the boys climb up 323 00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:54.839 onto the dock. Alice pissed and the boys know it. 324 00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:57.279 He turns to make sure all is secure. He then 325 00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:59.400 reaches for a nearby hose in order to rinse down 326 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:01.880 the boat. He suddenly stops and looks at his hand, 327 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:06.279 revealing we see his hands covered with white bird shit. 328 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.240 He looks up and around. He wipes the mess off 329 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:11.920 his shorts, but instead it rubs it further into his skin. 330 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.759 How what the fuck is going on. He looks at 331 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.400 the two boys, both too terrified to talk, and then 332 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.400 he turns looking off across the canal to the adjacent home. 333 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.039 Al's point of view, Pete and Pete and Maria Mecha 334 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.759 are both on the end of their dot. Pete's busy 335 00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.440 waxing his speedboat. Maria stands in a bikini throwing bread 336 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.519 around her lawn and dot Pete spots out, glaring across 337 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:39.079 at him. He tilts his shades, then grins a big grin. 338 00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:43.960 How two assholes. Maria looks across and gives out the 339 00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:47.319 middle finger. She goes back to her bird feeding. Pete 340 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.279 places his wax down and steps to the edge of 341 00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:53.400 the dock. Pete, you're having a bad day out. Not enough, 342 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:57.599 moving enough, not moving enough, carpet ol tell your wife 343 00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:01.160 barrel ass that she's killing the birds. Pete laughs. Here 344 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.799 we go again, Professor benzon Or what was the bird 345 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.920 man of Westleislan, Ah? Listen, shit for brains. Their guts 346 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:10.920 can't handle a crap you feed them. You're throwing after 347 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.640 natural migratory instincts. Pete, Now you're an expert on bird guts. 348 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:18.480 I know a lot, asshole and since you and your 349 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.039 disco queen moved in, the birds have been shitting glue. 350 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:23.480 Why don't you get a new hobby, maybe a second 351 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:26.279 job somewhere to help pay for those fake hits, Pete, 352 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.200 they're real, Al reels rained, and I'm sure the boys 353 00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:30.880 are learning a lot right now about how to treat 354 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:36.759 a lady. Al A lady, fuck her. I could see 355 00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:40.119 a dick from here, Maria says, fuck you, you guinea bastard. 356 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.920 AJ motions to dean on the followers. They make their 357 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:46.119 way up to dock and onto the lawn. Keep it up, 358 00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:49.039 your gob, Al yells, I know all about your can 359 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:50.880 I see you heading off to the city at night 360 00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:53.200 to dance around like a fucking fagot with your drugs. 361 00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:56.720 You're like having strange men OOLI at your wife. What 362 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:01.079 a real man you are, Pete laughing jealous, he's jealous, jealous. 363 00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:03.599 At least there's a man, and there's men out there 364 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:05.519 who'd like a piece of that. By the way, where's 365 00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:09.119 your old lady? Al explodes, reaches down and picks up 366 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:11.519 a wrench. He throws it towards Pete's dock as hard 367 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:14.160 as he can and falls short into the water. Pete 368 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:16.960 laughs harder, nice sharp pops. Look like you got to 369 00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:19.519 buy a new tool. Lily hurries down the lawn. She 370 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.559 grabs a hold of both boys and pushes them toward 371 00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:24.880 the house. AJ resists. She hurries off with Dino, still 372 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.720 wearing the bulky life vest. AJ leans down and picks 373 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:29.519 up a rock at the edge of the lawn. Matter 374 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:31.680 of fact, he picks it up and taps his father. 375 00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:34.920 He hit that thanks. Al winds up and tosses the 376 00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:37.880 rock towards Pete. Pete spots the rock coming. His smirk 377 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.480 disappears as the rock approaches with perfect accuracy, It connects 378 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.920 with the bows perfectly maintained speedboat and hits the front. 379 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:49.640 That crack. Pete says, you fucking caveman, your all lunatics, 380 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:54.000 you benzes, Pete, that's a twenty thousand dollars dons of you, moron. 381 00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:57.519 Al smiles a big smile. The rage is gone. Aj 382 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:00.160 is beaming with pride. They watch on his Pete and 383 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.559 Maria's screaming yell. Al places his hand on aj shoulder. 384 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:05.160 They turned in proud of the head towards the house, 385 00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:08.759 where Lily stands with her hands on her hips. Great guys, 386 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.680 just Gray, good life. Lesson for your son and nephew. 387 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:14.160 The hell is wrong with you? You're don't have to 388 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:18.720 work overtime. Al there goes to Christmas money. Al's all smiles. 389 00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:22.480 He marches. AJ marches alongside him, also smiling. As they 390 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:25.440 walk past Lily, Al reaches out, grabs a hold of her, 391 00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.119 plants a kiss on her lips. Let's get this fucking 392 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:30.960 party going. Lily shakes out as she follows him on 393 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:33.519 her heels. Here on his heels. They all disappear into 394 00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.920 the house. Front of the house. Evening, a police car 395 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.279 is parked in front of the house. Al stands alongside 396 00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.720 the car, talking with two uniformed officers. Dino and AJ 397 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:46.279 sit on the front steps with Rosalie and the Ring. Rosie, 398 00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:49.279 sometimes I think he needs a few weeks at Pilgrim State. 399 00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:54.319 The Ring. Yeah, maybe some shock therapy something. Jack walks 400 00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:57.319 out the door. Rosie says, where have you been? What 401 00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:01.359
