When i came home from the Clinic, everyone was asleep.
Normally they'’d Hear my truck.
We live in the Middle of nowhere.
I parked it about A half a mile down the road
And i walked home. But my boyfriend heard.
Hmm.
He hears everything.
When he came in to See what was wrong,
I just tried to pretend To be asleep.
But i couldn'’t Hold it in.
I started to cry.
Go on.
Sorry.
I was bawling My eyes out.
He held me.
And i wished...
I wished I hadn'’t done it.
I wished...
It was still inside me And it was still alive.
Mm-hmm.
I'’ve had four of them now.
I don'’t know why, But when i make love
I can'’t feel anything.
Shh!

A reason to keep trying,
To keep going.
Aren'’t you supposed To say something?
I mean, i just told you
I'’m thinking about Killing myself
And have no Reason to live.
Um, yeah. Yeah.

They'’ll walk into the street And get killed by a car.
Two-ton slabs of metal Hurtling at high speed Down a concrete path...
Those aren'’t supposed To exist in nature.

Enough to get by.
White, raping, slave-owning Motherfuckers.
- you hear me? - i do.
That'’s what they are.
I don'’t have no time To be bothered with raping, Slave-owning motherfuckers.
Should someone get that?
They got a monopoly At the general store.
Ain'’t no different From fuckin'’ wal-mart,
Except it'’s in my Goddamn backyard.
Bob and steve is here.
They comin'’. They comin'’, baby.
They'’re coming To build their hotels
And their houses, And the gas stations...
The traffic.
They'’re coming from The beverly hills mansions,
And they gonna rape the land, They gonna rape the women,
And they gonna rape My fuckin'’ asshole.
But what'’s wrong with Some development?
I mean, a lot of these homes Are very poorly constructed.
Fuck off and die.
What happened?
Did they Leave anything?
- no. - not a one.
Do you have enough Money to last you?
- a couple of months. - we'’re fucked.
Well, you can certainly Clip for us in the fall.
It'’s the feds, ripping every Last plant out of the earth.
- it wasn'’t the feds. - we were robbed, zelda.
They fucking hit me With a gun barrel.
They jacked our Fucking plants.
- fucking feds. - the feds don'’t run Into your patch with a gun
- and fucking pistol-whip you. - i saw them. It wasn'’t The feds.
Solids and liquids
Are differentiated One from another
By the way the material Responds to stress.
If the material deforms,
Stays deformed, Or springs back
When the stress is removed,
It'’s a solid.
If instead the material Flows when stressed
And rearranges itself
In such a way As to remove the stress,
It'’s a liquid.
In the past there'’s been Too many secrets,
Too much espionage.
We'’re gonna have to adapt
If we expect to survive.
Have i gone insane and Completely forgotten
Inviting you in here?
Sorry. I went out To pee, and, um...
Get the fuck out.
Right.
Have an edifying day At school.
- bonjour, jack. - cça va?
We were wondering Whether you or max
Would be contributing to the Pencil patch this year.
Both, actually, Lord willing.
Merci.we Are very grateful.
- glad to do our part. - excuse me.
Children, allez! Vite!
The pencil patch?
A while back A bunch of us got tired
Driving our kids 50 miles to school.
So we built this place,
Funded annually by the parents Of the children who can.
One or two plants... Pencil patch.
My god. If my father Heard that
I think his head Would explode.
The complexities of the modern Father-son relationship.
Hasn'’t changed much.
Well, you and max seem To get on pretty well.
It'’s complicated, Captain.
I guess we haven'’t reached The event horizon yet.
The event horizon?
The event horizon Is the point
Around a black hole
Where nothing beyond That point can escape,
Even light.
My point is is it'’s your Big kahuna point of no return.
If you had crossed it...
That event horizon...
How would you know?
Because you would be Ripped apart
Molecule by molecule.
You'’re still intact, so I wouldn'’t worry about it.
Yeah.
Oh, hey. You ready To go to the bus station?
Uh... Ahem...
Critter control, slick.
Oh, yeah.
It helps Protect the plants.
Why don'’t you Do that side over there?
Oh, these buds. Oh my god.
Fuckin'’ purple. I love it.
Beautiful.
How long have you Been smoking that?
I went into my mom'’s stash When i was...
Eight.
Or nine.
When i was eight i was...
I was drinking kool aid And watching "the smurfs."
You have your drugs, I have mine.
Let me see that.
What? It'’s medicine, right?
It'’s just a flower, man.
Go for it.
Just...
It'’s not so bad.
You gotta hold it Into your lungs.
You don'’t cough, You don'’t get off.
Am i supposed to Feel something now?
'’Cause i don't Feel anything,
Which is strange, Because once inhaled,
That thc should
Travel throughout The bronchial tree,
Bathing the brain and vital Organs within seconds.
I should feel something, Shouldn'’t i?
I don'’t feel high.
Am i high?
I don'’t feel high.
The sun...
Mmm.
I don'’t feel high.
Don'’t you worry About the police?
The local pigs?
No way, man.
The feds... They'’re the ones To worry about.
They come later, During harvest.
Man, these motherfuckers, They'’re funded.
They got helicopters And spotter planes,
Ex-special forces.
They came a few years back.
I had enough plants... Maybe 10 Or so, just to get by,
Pay my rent, get charity Some new school clothes,
Books and shit.
But that'’s usually enough To do it...
Small plants, no problem.
But that wasn'’t The case this time.
They came flying in.
I mean, the feds, they want The big crops, right,
So they can report that shit On the news.
But they came flying in, Circling around, man.
They give you The death circle.
If you get The death circle,
You gotta run Like hell,
Go down to the beach And wait it out.
And hopefully When you get back,
Your crops Are still there.
You just Run to the beach?
The feds just want The plants, man.
If you'’re not around When they take them,
Then you skip The jail part.
And that'’s when i lost Everything, man.
I lost everything. I moved into the trailer,
I had to move charity In with jack and rosie.
That'’s the deal.
I tell you, The people around here,
They don'’t have a plan, You know?
I'’m not in it for the hdtv
And a fucking la-z-boy, You know?
I'’m taking care of my own.
Max, i forgot About the bus.
The bus.
Oh, charity, that'’s Wonderful.
Jack, look. Charity'’s rolled A beauty! She'’s a natural.
- you'’re in. The first to mars. - really?
- mars? - oh, god, jesus.
Gram'’s gonna Colonize mars.
What, like the planet?
Stupid...
It'’s an important project.
Practically speaking,
You'’re gonna have to Terraform the planet, right?
And the best way to do that...
I don'’t know any other Way to say it...
You'’ve got to shit outside.
Step outside The dome and shit.
We do it here all the time. It'’s no big deal.
The outhouse is busy. Just shit outside.
Will that take a long time?
Yes, peter, it will Take a long time,
Which is exactly why i'’m...
Jack, we'’re Talking about
Colonizing a Fucking planet here.
It'’s a process.
The world wasn'’t Built in a day, jack.
It'’s a process.
Over time, Multiple generations,
It will make a difference.
Couldn'’t you just Poo inside the dome
And have plumbing pipes Pump the poo outside?
He said "poo"!
Yes. Yes you could.
You'’re a part of the project, Peter. You'’re in.
Yes! That'’s great!
You'’ve been talking About mars for years.
This boy listens For one minute
And alters The entire plan.
Oh, that'’s a great idea.
Okay, here'’s part two Of the plan.
You tell people, okay, You can come to mars,
Be one of the first To colonize it,
But you have to work Long enough
For a certain amount Of time to be determined,
And then you get A plot of land.
You get to own A part of mars.
Anybody can do this?
- what about criminals? - we'’ll allow criminals.
What exactly is a criminal?
Mars will be a place for people To have an entirely new start,
Totally fresh. Wouldn'’t That be just lovely?
We'’re not gonna Fuck this one up!
We'’d probably not allow Murderers and rapists,
But if you just stole A little something...
A candy bar, a kidney...
Mars would welcome you!
The woman is Out of her mind,
Out of her mind.
I'’m gonna tell you this
If that woman Ever gets to mars,
You can forget About the planet.
We will have to Just move on to venus.
Well, charlie Used to love the idea.
But now, This one right here...
That'’s a Whole different story.
This one should be the leader Of the expedition.
What do you say?
Mayor of mars.
Well, i accept.
Yeah!
Very nice.
Esophagogastro- Duodenoscopy.
Esophagogastro-
Duodenoscopy!
Are we sitting idly?

This herb has been part Of human civilization
Since before It was civilized.
Hemp fibers have been found In archaeological digs
In the asiatic Communities in china
Dating back 4,000 b.c.e.
Taoist monks In the fifth century
Thought it could Tell the future.
But it is currently illegal.
I'’ve lost too many Friends over it,
Good people... Not thieves, Murderers,
Just people Like you and me.
Since the mexicans have been Coming across the border,
The feds have shifted Their resources to them,
Their cartels growing plants In the thousands,
Armed guards, guns.
Compared to them we'’re nothing More than mom-and-pop shops.
But that does not mean
That we can do what we want.
It'’s a foolish man
Who underestimates His enemies.
It is a stupid man
Who underestimates The feds.
Listen.
The lark, herald of the dawn.
Let'’s go greet it, shall we?
We live off the grid,
Harmoniously within The systems of the earth,
And we endeavor to improve This beautiful place
In which we temporarily... Temporarily
Reside.
And from this life,
We farm pot.
But after all Of these years,
I have 20 plants total,
Enough to get by.
Any more than that and You are tempting fate.
People may say I'’m a criminal,
And yeah... But i live a life
Without greed,
A life where i protect My family...
Every single one of them, Even you, peter.
And if we allow greed To enter into our lives
Then we'’ve destroyed the very Thing that we came out here for.
Why did you come here?
Salvation.
I'’m telling you this To make you aware
Of the vast consequences
Of what you may or May not be involved in
On this, your little Summer sojourn in the woods.
I found this on my land.
The feds are here.
Somebody has been sloppy,
And now everything changes.
What does that mean?
- what are you gonna do? - whatever i have to.
So i'’m gonna ask You one more time,
How many plants Does max have?
Jack, you'’re not Going to believe it,
But that goddamn deer Ate up the rest of my roses.
What are the two of You talking about?
Oh, peter here is Just indulging an old man
As he prattles on about The world of physics.
Well, let'’s eat.
Charity!
I didn'’t know. Why didn'’t you tell me?
Tell me again. What did you say to jack?
I didn'’t say Anything to jack.
- you didn'’t say anything? - i don'’t understand why...
You should have told me About the other patch.
- i mean, i'’m part of it. - i was gonna tell you, man,
Right around harvest, But i'’m glad i didn't
Because you would have Fucking robbed me anyway!
- right? - wow.
Fuck!
Wow, you'’ve never Trusted anybody.
Shut up!
Where are the Plants, peter?
Your friend shouldn'’t have Bought all that equipment
In one place.
Fuck you!
you know we'’re lucky They let us go.
they didn'’t Get what they needed.
They didn'’t Get the plants.
That'’s why They let us go.
Apparently, miraculously,
You didn'’t tell them Where they were.
So they gave us a warning.
What are you doing?
- who did you shoot? - shh!
Grab a flashlight.
What? Jack?
Oh my god, He killed a fed.
- jack! - peter.
Shh! Stop making So goddamn much noise!
- light here. - it'’s a deer.
It'’s a deer! Oh!
- oh, you shot a deer! - yes.
Twice. In the head. Wow.
Ew.
Why are you Cleaning it now?
Because it'’s Not deer season.
So?
If i leave it out, Somebody will see it.
It'’ll attract attention. That'’s not good,
Especially not now. Shine the light so i can see.
What'’s that?
That, my dear boy, Is a rose.
Here, try some Of this steak, hadley.
Steak?
Jack'’s a master chef.
- it'’s not steak. - it'’s all in the preparation.
So how'’s things?
Good.
Is there anything You want to tell me?
The international Dialing code for antarctica
Is 672.
The feds are here, You know.
I know.
I just want to Make sure
That there'’s no reason For them to stick around.
Are you gonna be A father now, jack?
Come on, max. I can'’t Help you if you'’re gonna...
Maybe, dr. Truman,
Maybe the feds are here
Because they'’re really Dying to get their hands
Over all that research You'’ve been doing. Right?
All that stuff you'’ve been Tooling over all these years,
Right, jack?
Maybe they'’re dying to get Their fucking hands All over it.
Why do you always Gotta be the little shit?
Oh, charlie, what are we Gonna do with him?
Who'’s charlie?
Oh, charlie'’s My first husband,
Maxie'’s father.
Max'’s father?
- i thought jack was... - no.
We all came up here together,
Charlie, jack and i.
Charlie used to work With jack at u.c.l.a.
We were friends. We were all friends.
They made quite a pair, He and jack...
Charlie'’s philosophies And jack'’s science...
Except when They were drinking,
Which was more than When they weren'’t.
Charlie desperately Wanted to quit.
And when it got bad, charlie Would have these seizures
Where he needed a drink.
And then he found some ecstasy
From some of the kids Out on the campground.
It was the blue pill With the a on it
And it started off awesome. It was wonderful stuff.
And he started taking these Pills instead of drinking
And for two months He stopped cold turkey.
Jack couldn'’t believe it.
He told me he, "he did it. Charlie did it."
We thought this place, The life we live, it saved him.
And then one day charlie was Having one of these seizures
And he really needed a drink
And we didn'’t have Any more of these pills left.
And he'’s yelling at me To get him something
And i can'’t find anything.
And then finally i look In a drawer and i find
A half tab of acid Which was really old,
And i said, "just Take it, charlie."
It'’ll just take you To a different realm."
And so he took it And went off.
But after a while He came back
And he said, "i don'’t know What the fuck you gave me.
Every cell in my body Is hurting."
And i said, "oh no, let'’s Go to the hospital."
He said, "no, i'’m Gonna take a ride."
He always liked to drive. It would calm him down.
So he left.
And that night, 2.00 In the morning,
Something woke me up.
It startled me To wake up at 2.00
'’Cause i usually don't.
And they said That'’s when he died.
That'’s when he went Over the cliff,
Like wile e. Coyote.
I didn'’t know What to tell max,
So i just told him what Charlie always told him...
Not to take it all Too seriously.
Later, we all went up To charlie'’s favorite spot
Looking out over the cove,
Jack, maxie, and me.
I was so furious, And i just stood there
And i said...
"all right, charlie, I want something spectacular.
Spectacular. Spectacular!
You got it?"
And jack said, "well, the sun is setting,"
And i said, "well, let'’s begin."
And as soon as i said, "let'’s begin,"
We looked down at the cove,
And there was this storm That just showed up From nowhere...
From nowhere... And we went, "where did that come from?"
And all of a sudden There was this little spark
And these 50 mile-an-hour winds.
And as it was growing, It had these fists Coming from it,
Coming up the hill. Like...
Like this.
And i was going... I mean i was...
I was screaming. I mean, i was...
Screaming.
My hair'’s going Straight up and...
I just know This is charlie!
And then the storm just Cleared just like that.
When a lot of shit happens And your life changes
And you find yourself Standing outside on a cliff,
Going, "well, okay, Now what?"
Now i'’d like to have Some venison.
Come back to l.a. With me.
- yeah. - i'’m not joking.
Seriously, why not?
A clean start.
You could Bring charity,
Just start over, man.
That could be cool.
Get married, you and i.
Dinner parties.
- we could join a gym. - yeah, we could join a gym.
Hmm.
- you sure? - no more.
I mean, What do you...
You can'’t actually Keep doing this.
Max.
I'’m out.
No you'’re not.
Max, this is...
I can'’t be part Of this anymore.
It'’s gone Way too far.
Pete, this isn'’t Just summer vacation, Okay, man?
It'’s too late To go home.
It'’s too late.
This is not A fucking game!
I see just another Hopeless, pathetic case,
One of bogart'’s parasitic fucks, You know that, pete?
Something goes wrong And the good doctor'’s Right out the door?
I'’m pathetic? I'’m pathetic?
You'’re a pot farmer, max.
I achieve more In a given week
Than you have In your entire life.
Peter!
Pete!
If i don'’t pull this off,
Charity'’s gonna end up Just like me.
We'’re playing Hide and seek.
Oh.

Do you ever think About what you want To be when you grow up?
An astronaut.
How about you?
I don'’t know.

You think so?
You think that'’s Really okay?
It feels more like a waste.
