1
00:00:05,506 --> 00:00:06,640
(screaming)

2
00:00:06,674 --> 00:00:08,442
ANNOUNCER:
American Horror Story: Cult.

3
00:00:08,476 --> 00:00:10,778
All new,
Tuesdays at 10:00 on FX.

4
00:00:13,114 --> 00:00:15,749
ANNOUNCER:
FX presents Better Things.

5
00:00:18,386 --> 00:00:20,188
* Mother

6
00:00:20,221 --> 00:00:23,657
* You had me

7
00:00:23,691 --> 00:00:26,360
* But I never had you

8
00:00:28,529 --> 00:00:30,331
*

9
00:00:32,566 --> 00:00:36,437
* I wanted you

10
00:00:38,072 --> 00:00:41,041
* You didn't want me.

11
00:00:41,075 --> 00:00:43,043
*

12
00:00:45,579 --> 00:00:48,849
* Let 'em get high

13
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:52,353
* Let 'em unload
(loudly exhaling)

14
00:00:52,386 --> 00:00:55,223
* Everything

15
00:00:55,256 --> 00:00:59,360
* Will be all right
if you let it go *

16
00:00:59,393 --> 00:01:01,662
* Let 'em get high

17
00:01:01,695 --> 00:01:03,831
* Let 'em unload...

18
00:01:03,864 --> 00:01:07,067
Okay, so... maybe
I'm not perfect.

19
00:01:07,101 --> 00:01:08,802
I make mistakes.

20
00:01:08,836 --> 00:01:10,304
I'm weak.

21
00:01:10,338 --> 00:01:12,640
So maybe there's
a million other guys

22
00:01:12,673 --> 00:01:13,874
who would've done
better than me.

23
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:16,009
But you chose
to be with me.

24
00:01:16,043 --> 00:01:18,379
So you're saying
this is my fault?

25
00:01:18,412 --> 00:01:21,382
Oh, my God. All I've ever tried
to do is just be the...

26
00:01:21,415 --> 00:01:22,383
SAM:
Nuh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

27
00:01:22,416 --> 00:01:23,984
uh, uh. Hold on.

28
00:01:24,017 --> 00:01:25,686
You're getting there too easy.

29
00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:27,155
Too easy?
Yeah.

30
00:01:27,188 --> 00:01:28,889
I don't want to know

31
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:30,724
how you're gonna react.

32
00:01:30,758 --> 00:01:32,993
You shouldn't know it.
That's not how people are.

33
00:01:33,026 --> 00:01:36,096
Where is all this confidence
coming from?

34
00:01:36,130 --> 00:01:38,065
It's poison for this scene.

35
00:01:38,098 --> 00:01:40,067
Throw it away.

36
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:42,536
Cut it out.

37
00:01:42,570 --> 00:01:45,273
Don't cry.
I love you. Jaia.

38
00:01:45,306 --> 00:01:47,541
You got to toughen up.
Believe me,

39
00:01:47,575 --> 00:01:48,576
this is nothing.

40
00:01:48,609 --> 00:01:50,278
You got to toughen up in life

41
00:01:50,311 --> 00:01:52,045
and get weaker in the scenes.

42
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:53,046
Okay?

43
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,047
Okay.

44
00:01:54,081 --> 00:01:55,383
(clears throat)
Okay.

45
00:01:55,416 --> 00:01:56,917
And Wong...
Wong...

46
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:58,452
you're boring.

47
00:01:58,486 --> 00:02:00,221
That's all. Work on it.

48
00:02:00,254 --> 00:02:02,723
Move your arms around or
something; I'm falling asleep.

49
00:02:04,158 --> 00:02:05,426
Sure, Sam.

50
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:06,660
SAM:
Okay. (groans)

51
00:02:06,694 --> 00:02:08,362
Let's get Henry
and Josh up here.

52
00:02:08,396 --> 00:02:10,498
Come on, guys,
show us the gay version.

53
00:02:14,402 --> 00:02:15,836
And maybe there are
a million different guys

54
00:02:15,869 --> 00:02:17,137
that-that would have
been better

55
00:02:17,171 --> 00:02:20,274
for you, but you chose me.

56
00:02:20,308 --> 00:02:22,443
You chose me.

57
00:02:22,476 --> 00:02:24,212
I chose you?

58
00:02:24,245 --> 00:02:25,846
I chose someone who
was gonna be with me,

59
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:28,349
who was gonna love me.
A-And do the right things.

60
00:02:28,382 --> 00:02:30,050
That's what I chose.

61
00:02:30,083 --> 00:02:31,785
I didn't choose someone
who was gonna run out on me.

62
00:02:31,819 --> 00:02:34,988
J... I'm sorry, okay?
I-I...

63
00:02:35,022 --> 00:02:38,626
Sorry? Yeah.

64
00:02:38,659 --> 00:02:41,662
See? I always
like the gay version better.
(all laugh)

65
00:02:41,695 --> 00:02:44,097
* My friends are so alone

66
00:02:44,131 --> 00:02:46,033
* And it breaks my heart

67
00:02:48,636 --> 00:02:50,738
* And my friends
don't understand... *

68
00:02:50,771 --> 00:02:52,340
(groans)

69
00:02:52,373 --> 00:02:54,342
Okay, so when he says,

70
00:02:54,375 --> 00:02:57,445
"I'm not perfect"...

71
00:02:57,478 --> 00:02:58,679
what is that?

72
00:02:58,712 --> 00:03:01,048
Why does he say that?
Why?

73
00:03:01,081 --> 00:03:03,150
Because this is shitty writing.

74
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:06,086
That's why. That's
the only reason.

75
00:03:06,119 --> 00:03:07,488
But, look, most of the work

76
00:03:07,521 --> 00:03:09,122
you're gonna be given
as actors--

77
00:03:09,156 --> 00:03:10,524
it's gonna be shitty writing.

78
00:03:10,558 --> 00:03:12,493
Do you think
you're gonna walk out of here

79
00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:14,762
and get a job doing
a Quentin Tarantino monologue,

80
00:03:14,795 --> 00:03:16,630
like, straight
out of the gate?

81
00:03:16,664 --> 00:03:17,665
No.

82
00:03:17,698 --> 00:03:20,501
At best, 90%
of the words

83
00:03:20,534 --> 00:03:22,536
that you're gonna read
are gonna suck

84
00:03:22,570 --> 00:03:25,706
and have no
real feeling behind it.

85
00:03:25,739 --> 00:03:28,576
Anyone can do a scene
that's well-written.

86
00:03:28,609 --> 00:03:30,978
The skill you're
gonna need,

87
00:03:31,011 --> 00:03:32,846
if you want to really work,

88
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,682
and get steady work--

89
00:03:34,715 --> 00:03:38,486
as steady as you can, anyway--

90
00:03:38,519 --> 00:03:41,689
is to make shitty writing
mean something.

91
00:03:41,722 --> 00:03:44,725
To elevate the work.

92
00:03:44,758 --> 00:03:47,995
If you can take a bad script
and make it work,

93
00:03:48,028 --> 00:03:50,163
they'll keep hiring you.

94
00:03:50,197 --> 00:03:52,766
Okay?
Good job, you guys.

95
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,835
Okay, let's hear it for them.
Clear this out.

96
00:03:54,868 --> 00:03:57,037
MAN:
I'm not paying for this.

97
00:03:57,070 --> 00:03:58,906
You already paid for it.
This isn't what I ordered.

98
00:03:58,939 --> 00:03:59,940
Okay, look, I'm not perfect,

99
00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:01,675
okay? I-I'm weak.

100
00:04:01,709 --> 00:04:03,411
I can't
hold this all day.
But there are a million

101
00:04:03,444 --> 00:04:04,878
taco trucks out there.
Look at it. You made this.

102
00:04:04,912 --> 00:04:06,246
And you chose mine.

103
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,748
Okay?
I did. I did.

104
00:04:07,781 --> 00:04:09,317
Yeah, you did.
Yeah, I did.
But you know what?

105
00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:10,318
What?
I want a divorce.

106
00:04:10,351 --> 00:04:11,319
Oh, you got it.

107
00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:15,323
Oh, fucking comedians.

108
00:04:15,356 --> 00:04:18,592
You guys, the problem is
you're great performers.

109
00:04:18,626 --> 00:04:20,294
That's a problem?

110
00:04:20,328 --> 00:04:21,929
Yes, it is.
For an actor.

111
00:04:21,962 --> 00:04:23,831
No character you're
ever gonna play

112
00:04:23,864 --> 00:04:25,699
is gonna sound
like that.

113
00:04:25,733 --> 00:04:27,368
You're playing a person
in this scene.

114
00:04:27,401 --> 00:04:29,036
People are weak.

115
00:04:29,069 --> 00:04:31,271
They're not cool and fast.

116
00:04:31,305 --> 00:04:34,274
What are your
assets as an actor?

117
00:04:34,308 --> 00:04:36,243
Your weaknesses.

118
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:39,713
Whatever your fears are,
whatever you suck at,

119
00:04:39,747 --> 00:04:41,915
that's what you got to tap.

120
00:04:41,949 --> 00:04:44,117
That's what people
want to see

121
00:04:44,151 --> 00:04:46,286
when you're playing people.

122
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,257
They want to see you
at your weakest.

123
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:54,261
They don't want to watch some
asshole comedian show off.

124
00:04:55,463 --> 00:04:57,365
They want to see him fail.

125
00:04:57,398 --> 00:04:58,799
That's acting.

126
00:04:58,832 --> 00:05:01,168
* Let 'em get high

127
00:05:01,201 --> 00:05:04,938
* Let 'em unload

128
00:05:04,972 --> 00:05:07,775
* Everything will be all right

129
00:05:07,808 --> 00:05:11,178
* If you let it go

130
00:05:11,211 --> 00:05:13,881
* Let 'em get high

131
00:05:13,914 --> 00:05:17,618
* Let 'em unload

132
00:05:17,651 --> 00:05:22,523
* Everything will be all right
if you let it go. *

133
00:05:27,294 --> 00:05:31,198
(imitates engine revving,
tires screeching)

134
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:35,969
Can I drive now?

135
00:05:36,003 --> 00:05:38,439
Cut. Reset.
(bell rings)

136
00:05:38,472 --> 00:05:40,307
Back to one.

137
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:42,443
How many is that?
Oh, I think, 12.

138
00:05:42,476 --> 00:05:44,445
Ooh, fun.

139
00:05:44,478 --> 00:05:46,113
Well, you know, at least
you're not spitting

140
00:05:46,146 --> 00:05:48,749
and making noises.
My lips are numb.

141
00:05:48,782 --> 00:05:51,519
Joe. You're killing it.
You're doing great.

142
00:05:51,552 --> 00:05:53,020
Good looking out.
You bodied that.

143
00:05:53,053 --> 00:05:55,155
Hey, sorry, guys.
Uh, the car folks

144
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:57,157
are making a couple
of adjustments, cool?

145
00:05:57,190 --> 00:05:59,560
That's all right.
At least we're sitting down.

146
00:05:59,593 --> 00:06:01,395
(chuckles)

147
00:06:01,429 --> 00:06:03,096
All right,
let's go again.
Okay. (clears throat)

148
00:06:03,130 --> 00:06:05,198
Here we go.
Rolling.

149
00:06:05,232 --> 00:06:08,335
And...

150
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:10,370
action.
(imitates engine revving,
tires screeching)

151
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:14,708
Can I drive now?

152
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:15,843
Cut.

153
00:06:15,876 --> 00:06:17,511
Reset.

154
00:06:17,545 --> 00:06:19,447
Okay, everybody settle.

155
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:20,914
Quick,
quick, quick.
Oh.

156
00:06:20,948 --> 00:06:23,917
All right, here we go.
And... rolling.

157
00:06:23,951 --> 00:06:25,453
Action.

158
00:06:25,486 --> 00:06:28,689
(imitates engine revving,
tires screeching)

159
00:06:31,358 --> 00:06:32,460
Can I drive now?

160
00:06:32,493 --> 00:06:33,727
Cut!

161
00:06:33,761 --> 00:06:35,496
(bell rings)
Reset.

162
00:06:35,529 --> 00:06:37,164
(sighs)
Okay.

163
00:06:38,365 --> 00:06:40,167
Could I, um, get some water...

164
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,469
Yeah, sure.

165
00:06:41,502 --> 00:06:44,472
...that's really vodka?
Count me in.

166
00:06:44,505 --> 00:06:46,874
Here we go. Rolling. Action.

167
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:48,909
(imitates engine revving)

168
00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:53,547
(imitates tires screeching)

169
00:06:53,581 --> 00:06:55,348
Can I drive now?

170
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,850
Cut.

171
00:06:56,884 --> 00:06:58,185
Reset. Back to one.

172
00:06:58,218 --> 00:06:59,620
Is there anything different

173
00:06:59,653 --> 00:07:01,855
that you want from me?

174
00:07:01,889 --> 00:07:03,524
Anything...
No, you're fine.
Yeah, mm-hmm.

175
00:07:03,557 --> 00:07:05,893
(deep voice):
Okay. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

176
00:07:05,926 --> 00:07:09,029
Yeah. This is, like, uh...
Groundhog Day.

177
00:07:09,062 --> 00:07:10,564
Like, a 20-second version.

178
00:07:10,598 --> 00:07:12,533
Also, it's longer.

179
00:07:12,566 --> 00:07:13,734
(chuckles)
And not quite as funny.

180
00:07:13,767 --> 00:07:14,735
All right, so
let's go again.

181
00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:15,903
(laughs)

182
00:07:15,936 --> 00:07:17,037
(bell rings)

183
00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:19,106
Think Macbeth,
all right?
Okay.

184
00:07:19,139 --> 00:07:22,442
You know, it's, like,
this car is your mom.
Okay.

185
00:07:22,476 --> 00:07:23,944
*

186
00:07:23,977 --> 00:07:26,614
So which act would this be,
Act V, Act III?
No, Act II.

187
00:07:26,647 --> 00:07:28,048
Act II?
Obviously.

188
00:07:28,081 --> 00:07:29,382
So it's still setting it up.

189
00:07:29,416 --> 00:07:30,751
Yeah, of course,
of course.
Okay.

190
00:07:30,784 --> 00:07:32,352
*

191
00:07:32,385 --> 00:07:33,721
No. It's..

192
00:07:33,754 --> 00:07:35,122
If I said...

193
00:07:35,155 --> 00:07:37,257
Look, I didn't mean
anything like that.

194
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:39,292
Really?
I don't think...

195
00:07:39,326 --> 00:07:41,795
Baby, uh, this is--
really isn't the time.

196
00:07:41,829 --> 00:07:43,096
I mean...

197
00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:44,765
I'm-- come on, Sam.

198
00:07:44,798 --> 00:07:47,601
*

199
00:07:51,939 --> 00:07:53,106
Ooh, look at the pineapple.

200
00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:55,308
Oh, I want
some of that.
(Sam sighs)

201
00:07:55,342 --> 00:07:57,745
Hey, would you
step out, please?
Oh. Sure.

202
00:07:57,778 --> 00:08:00,147
Ha-ha.
Fired, or...

203
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:02,149
just... free?
MECHANIC:
Thank you.

204
00:08:02,182 --> 00:08:03,651
Bring back supplies.

205
00:08:03,684 --> 00:08:05,619
Oh.
Oh, man.

206
00:08:05,653 --> 00:08:07,020
Okay, yeah.

207
00:08:07,054 --> 00:08:09,222
Yeah, it was
definitely the hood

208
00:08:09,256 --> 00:08:11,725
that was part of the problem.

209
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:14,962
Is this the worst job you've
ever had in your life?

210
00:08:14,995 --> 00:08:16,597
Huh? What? No, dude.

211
00:08:16,630 --> 00:08:18,098
No, no, no, no, no.

212
00:08:18,131 --> 00:08:19,767
Okay, what was
the worst?

213
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,702
Okay, so, I was making
this horror movie,

214
00:08:21,735 --> 00:08:24,371
Mm-hmm.
and, uh, my boyfriend
turns into this,

215
00:08:24,404 --> 00:08:26,106
like, purple monster,

216
00:08:26,139 --> 00:08:28,441
and his hand reaches down
and grabs me, pulls me up

217
00:08:28,475 --> 00:08:30,644
to the ceiling...
JAIMYON: All right,
that's clear! Let's go again!

218
00:08:30,678 --> 00:08:32,345
O... kay.

219
00:08:32,379 --> 00:08:33,947
Here we go.

220
00:08:33,981 --> 00:08:36,149
Everybody
at one.
Oh, my-- Joe.

221
00:08:36,183 --> 00:08:37,384
(laughing)

222
00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:39,486
Wow.

223
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:40,754
Action.
Okay.

224
00:08:40,788 --> 00:08:44,357
(imitating engine roaring,
tires squealing)

225
00:08:44,391 --> 00:08:46,526
Can I drive now?

226
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,128
(imitates tires
screeching)

227
00:08:48,161 --> 00:08:49,663
Can I drive now?

228
00:08:49,697 --> 00:08:50,998
(imitates tires
screeching)

229
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:53,000
Can I drive now?

230
00:08:53,033 --> 00:08:54,134
Can I drive now?

231
00:08:54,167 --> 00:08:55,869
Can I drive now?

232
00:08:55,903 --> 00:08:57,705
(bell rings)
Cut! Cut! Reset!

233
00:08:57,738 --> 00:09:00,674
(speaking indistinctly)

234
00:09:00,708 --> 00:09:02,342
I thought
that was the one.
Yeah.

235
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:03,877
Ooh.
Okay.

236
00:09:03,911 --> 00:09:05,545
So...

237
00:09:05,579 --> 00:09:08,315
see that, uh,
woman over there?

238
00:09:08,348 --> 00:09:10,851
SAM: The blonde one?
They want to do a version
with you and her.

239
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:14,221
What?
And at the end,
they want you to kiss.

240
00:09:14,254 --> 00:09:17,057
Wha...
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.

241
00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:20,227
(laughing):
I got you!
Ha! That was good!

242
00:09:20,260 --> 00:09:21,929
(laughing)
You got excited.

243
00:09:21,962 --> 00:09:23,496
I got e...
Yeah, yeah,

244
00:09:23,530 --> 00:09:26,399
you're wrapped,
you're wrapped.
I am?

245
00:09:26,433 --> 00:09:27,835
We're wrapped, baby!
Ah, wrapped.

246
00:09:27,868 --> 00:09:29,202
No, not you, Joe.

247
00:09:30,237 --> 00:09:31,538
Oh.

248
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:33,040
I love you.

249
00:09:33,073 --> 00:09:35,342
Mwah! I love
you, too.
That was so fun.

250
00:09:35,375 --> 00:09:37,377
Okay.
We'll catch
up soon.

251
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:38,545
Thanks for the job.

252
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:40,013
No problem. All right.

253
00:09:40,047 --> 00:09:42,415
Let's go. Everybody
else back to one.

254
00:09:42,449 --> 00:09:43,583
Run like the wind!

255
00:09:46,854 --> 00:09:48,656
WOMAN: Scarlet attends
Stanford University,

256
00:09:48,689 --> 00:09:50,390
where she is a sophomore

257
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:53,593
and well on her way
to a degree in economics.

258
00:09:53,627 --> 00:09:55,262
What do you want to do
when you grow up?

259
00:09:55,295 --> 00:09:56,563
SCARLET:
I'd like to help restructure

260
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:58,065
the economies
in new democracies.

261
00:09:58,098 --> 00:10:00,200
WOMAN: What about just being
a little girl?

262
00:10:00,233 --> 00:10:02,169
Yeah, I like to play
and be with my friends,

263
00:10:02,202 --> 00:10:04,037
but also I want
to start my career.

264
00:10:04,071 --> 00:10:06,339
So if you were to get married
and have a partner,

265
00:10:06,373 --> 00:10:08,441
would you support them
financially?

266
00:10:08,475 --> 00:10:10,610
Absolutely not.
I have no desire

267
00:10:10,644 --> 00:10:14,715
to support anyone who cannot
support themselves financially.

268
00:10:14,748 --> 00:10:16,750
Can we watch RuPaul Drag Race?
How about being

269
00:10:16,784 --> 00:10:18,551
the president
of the United States?
Yes, please.

270
00:10:18,585 --> 00:10:21,121
Maybe.

271
00:10:21,154 --> 00:10:22,122
Yeah, for a second...
RICH: Oh! There's your mom!

272
00:10:22,155 --> 00:10:24,291
Oh! Did...

273
00:10:24,324 --> 00:10:26,559
Gentlemen, start your engines.
FRANKIE: What?
That's not the channel it's on.

274
00:10:26,593 --> 00:10:30,030
And may the best woman win.
Well... okay.

275
00:10:30,063 --> 00:10:32,265
Mom, do you want me to go back
so you can watch your thing?

276
00:10:32,299 --> 00:10:33,934
No. It's fine.

277
00:10:33,967 --> 00:10:36,569
Just... Geez!

278
00:10:36,603 --> 00:10:37,771
Mom, what do you want?

279
00:10:37,805 --> 00:10:39,139
I don't know-- it just sucks

280
00:10:39,172 --> 00:10:40,473
that you didn't go back.

281
00:10:40,507 --> 00:10:42,943
Mom, don't
do that.

282
00:10:42,976 --> 00:10:44,644
It's not fair.

283
00:10:44,678 --> 00:10:47,114
Okay, I don't care. Forget it.

284
00:10:48,515 --> 00:10:50,450
They'll love you
when you're dead.

285
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:52,319
That's right,
when you're dead they'll watch

286
00:10:52,352 --> 00:10:54,254
all of your stuff,
and they'll be amazed

287
00:10:54,287 --> 00:10:56,957
at what you've done.
They'll say beautiful
things at your funeral

288
00:10:56,990 --> 00:10:59,626
about how they were always
inspired by your career.

289
00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:01,161
No.

290
00:11:01,194 --> 00:11:04,097
No. I want it now.

291
00:11:04,131 --> 00:11:05,733
I want it now.

292
00:11:05,766 --> 00:11:08,101
I don't want to have to wait
till I'm dead

293
00:11:08,135 --> 00:11:10,603
for my kids to appreciate me.

294
00:11:14,842 --> 00:11:17,644
I'm numb from the waist down,
tuck included.

295
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:20,113
I really could die, bitch;
I'm giving you realness.

296
00:11:20,147 --> 00:11:22,149
WOMAN: He's got
a smaller waist than Barbie.

297
00:11:22,182 --> 00:11:24,151
WOMAN 2:
Oh, don't sneeze, honey.

298
00:11:24,184 --> 00:11:26,253
You know...

299
00:11:26,286 --> 00:11:28,756
I think I have a right
to say this.

300
00:11:28,789 --> 00:11:30,490
(scoffs)
Frankie!

301
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:31,491
What?

302
00:11:31,524 --> 00:11:32,525
Look...

303
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,127
I do a special thing.

304
00:11:34,161 --> 00:11:37,330
I think I'm allowed
to say this at this point.

305
00:11:37,364 --> 00:11:39,599
Your mom is an actor,

306
00:11:39,632 --> 00:11:41,168
and I make things,

307
00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:43,436
and I put myself out there,

308
00:11:43,470 --> 00:11:46,506
and... I've accomplished
some things.

309
00:11:48,008 --> 00:11:50,510
And I've been doing it,
like, my whole life.

310
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:53,146
Besides the fact that it pays
for all your clothes,

311
00:11:53,180 --> 00:11:56,083
it really sucks
that you don't give a shit.

312
00:11:56,116 --> 00:11:58,886
(chuckles):
Mom, you're being dramatic.

313
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:00,320
Screw you, Max.

314
00:12:00,353 --> 00:12:02,322
Do you know how many
of your dance recitals

315
00:12:02,355 --> 00:12:03,991
I've been to,
and your games?

316
00:12:04,024 --> 00:12:05,392
And your games, Frankie?

317
00:12:05,425 --> 00:12:06,827
And I shower

318
00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:09,662
you guys with praise--
when you try.

319
00:12:09,696 --> 00:12:12,365
Why do I get none of that
in return?

320
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,001
'Cause you're the adult, Sam.

321
00:12:14,034 --> 00:12:15,502
We're the children.

322
00:12:15,535 --> 00:12:17,838
And it is my job
to be proud of you.

323
00:12:17,871 --> 00:12:21,274
But it also,
it really hurts my feelings

324
00:12:21,308 --> 00:12:25,512
that my work
means nothing to you.

325
00:12:25,545 --> 00:12:27,647
Mom, yes, we're proud of you.

326
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:30,083
And yeah, we'll say it
at your funeral.

327
00:12:30,117 --> 00:12:31,518
Well, I want to hear it now.

328
00:12:33,921 --> 00:12:36,256
That's me. I'm dead.

329
00:12:36,289 --> 00:12:38,525
This is my funeral.

330
00:12:38,558 --> 00:12:40,928
Oh, God,
cut it out, Mom.

331
00:12:40,961 --> 00:12:42,095
No.

332
00:12:42,129 --> 00:12:44,031
I died,

333
00:12:44,064 --> 00:12:45,132
Frankie.

334
00:12:45,165 --> 00:12:46,733
This is my funeral.

335
00:12:46,766 --> 00:12:47,901
Let's hear

336
00:12:47,935 --> 00:12:49,202
what you're gonna say.

337
00:12:49,236 --> 00:12:51,238
Mom, Mom, no...

338
00:12:51,271 --> 00:12:52,840
Oh, no, no, Dukey.

339
00:12:52,873 --> 00:12:53,974
No, baby,

340
00:12:54,007 --> 00:12:55,408
you're dead, too.

341
00:12:55,442 --> 00:12:57,410
We both died. We're dead.

342
00:12:57,444 --> 00:12:58,578
Look.

343
00:12:58,611 --> 00:13:00,914
See? Look.

344
00:13:00,948 --> 00:13:02,582
Look. This is you.

345
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:04,551
You're laying
right here next to Mommy.

346
00:13:04,584 --> 00:13:07,587
How did we die?
Um... well,

347
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:09,222
we got in a car accident,

348
00:13:09,256 --> 00:13:10,858
because... we were...

349
00:13:10,891 --> 00:13:13,060
picking up... you, Frankie.

350
00:13:13,093 --> 00:13:15,896
And you weren't there.
You went to Sanaam's house

351
00:13:15,929 --> 00:13:19,166
without telling me, and
we had to go way up the canyon,

352
00:13:19,199 --> 00:13:21,068
and we rolled the car.

353
00:13:21,101 --> 00:13:22,769
Big ball of fire.

354
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:24,304
We're both dead.

355
00:13:24,337 --> 00:13:25,705
This is our funeral.

356
00:13:25,738 --> 00:13:27,074
Thanks.

357
00:13:27,107 --> 00:13:28,241
Go.

358
00:13:28,275 --> 00:13:29,943
Eulogize me.

359
00:13:29,977 --> 00:13:31,378
Mom, you're, like,

360
00:13:31,411 --> 00:13:33,013
traumatizing us right now.

361
00:13:33,046 --> 00:13:34,948
Yeah, that's the point.

362
00:13:34,982 --> 00:13:37,985
Let's hear any feelings
about me at all.

363
00:13:43,456 --> 00:13:45,258
Okay.

364
00:13:45,292 --> 00:13:48,161
It's your funeral.
(sighs)

365
00:13:49,429 --> 00:13:51,198
Here lies Sam.

366
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:55,969
Ha-ha! Loser!

367
00:13:56,003 --> 00:13:57,370
MAX:
Stop it!

368
00:13:57,404 --> 00:13:59,339
It's not funny!
Yes, it is.

369
00:14:00,173 --> 00:14:02,709
This is a joke.

370
00:14:02,742 --> 00:14:04,644
(loud footsteps
going up stairs)

371
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,981
(door slams)

372
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:13,253
Do you see what she does?

373
00:14:13,286 --> 00:14:15,355
She is such a drama queen.
She acts like a child.

374
00:14:15,388 --> 00:14:17,257
She's always the victim.

375
00:14:18,825 --> 00:14:21,828
Oh, me? Don't look to me
to back you up, girls.

376
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:24,497
TRESSA:
You chased your mother

377
00:14:24,531 --> 00:14:26,399
out of her own house.

378
00:14:26,433 --> 00:14:28,668
That was stunning.

379
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:30,503
Yup.

380
00:14:30,537 --> 00:14:32,472
O-Oh, my God. We didn't.

381
00:14:32,505 --> 00:14:35,142
No, she completely
started it.

382
00:14:35,175 --> 00:14:37,477
Unless you want to hear
what I have to say,

383
00:14:37,510 --> 00:14:39,079
don't engage me.

384
00:14:54,227 --> 00:14:56,296
You're dead.

385
00:15:00,533 --> 00:15:02,735
* Oh, no

386
00:15:02,769 --> 00:15:05,105
* There goes

387
00:15:05,138 --> 00:15:07,307
* There goes my head

388
00:15:07,340 --> 00:15:09,676
* There goes my

389
00:15:09,709 --> 00:15:11,244
* Head...

390
00:15:13,346 --> 00:15:15,582
We'd sneak into the
little boys' room

391
00:15:15,615 --> 00:15:17,384
and mess around.
(laughs)

392
00:15:17,417 --> 00:15:19,019
Really?
Yeah!

393
00:15:19,052 --> 00:15:20,988
But only
small stuff.

394
00:15:21,021 --> 00:15:23,723
One boy would lick his finger...

395
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:27,027
and then he'd stick it
up the other boy's keister.

396
00:15:27,060 --> 00:15:29,196
(chuckles)
That's as far as it went.

397
00:15:29,229 --> 00:15:30,730
No blowing or anything?

398
00:15:30,763 --> 00:15:33,933
Oh, no, no, no.
It was a Catholic school.

399
00:15:33,967 --> 00:15:38,071
Aw, that's tough, Ray.
Mmm.

400
00:15:38,105 --> 00:15:40,340
Nobody could be openly gay

401
00:15:40,373 --> 00:15:43,576
until I was too old
to have any fun.

402
00:15:45,278 --> 00:15:47,647
I feel like the
exact same thing

403
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,117
is happening to me.

404
00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:53,086
(phone buzzes)

405
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,588
SAM:
Oh.

406
00:15:55,622 --> 00:15:57,424
I got to go.
Uh-uh, no.

407
00:15:57,457 --> 00:15:58,891
I got this, babe.

408
00:15:58,925 --> 00:16:00,160
Really?

409
00:16:02,029 --> 00:16:03,997
Okay.

410
00:16:04,031 --> 00:16:06,099
You have a good night.
Good to see you.

411
00:16:06,133 --> 00:16:07,634
Drive carefully.
Thanks for the drink.

412
00:16:07,667 --> 00:16:09,269
There's a lot of
nuts out there.
I will.

413
00:16:09,302 --> 00:16:10,570
All right, honey bun.

414
00:16:10,603 --> 00:16:11,738
SAM:
Bye, Patrick.

415
00:16:11,771 --> 00:16:14,307
See ya when I see ya, Sam.

416
00:16:16,709 --> 00:16:20,913
* In the stories,
the lies that they wrote *

417
00:16:20,947 --> 00:16:22,582
* Escape me

418
00:16:22,615 --> 00:16:24,617
*

419
00:16:24,651 --> 00:16:26,619
* And the winged horses

420
00:16:26,653 --> 00:16:28,321
* That we once rode

421
00:16:28,355 --> 00:16:31,424
* Have stopped breathing.

422
00:16:31,458 --> 00:16:33,460
*

423
00:16:36,729 --> 00:16:38,765
Hello?

424
00:16:38,798 --> 00:16:40,333
(murmur nearby)

425
00:16:40,367 --> 00:16:43,070
Hello?

426
00:16:45,972 --> 00:16:47,540
Oh.

427
00:16:47,574 --> 00:16:51,344
Shh.

428
00:16:51,378 --> 00:16:54,181
* I saw God

429
00:16:54,214 --> 00:16:58,351
* By the river

430
00:16:58,385 --> 00:17:02,589
* Panning for gold

431
00:17:02,622 --> 00:17:04,424
* I saw God

432
00:17:04,457 --> 00:17:07,794
* By the river

433
00:17:07,827 --> 00:17:11,698
* Weary and old

434
00:17:11,731 --> 00:17:14,033
* He said, Son

435
00:17:14,067 --> 00:17:16,969
* I used to know

436
00:17:17,003 --> 00:17:18,705
* Where I put things

437
00:17:18,738 --> 00:17:22,709
* I used to know...

438
00:17:27,046 --> 00:17:30,016
Here lie Sam and Duke.

439
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:32,719
Gone so suddenly.

440
00:17:32,752 --> 00:17:34,154
In attendance,

441
00:17:34,187 --> 00:17:37,990
her surviving daughters,
Frankie and Max,

442
00:17:38,024 --> 00:17:41,361
and her friends,
Tressa and Rich,

443
00:17:41,394 --> 00:17:43,363
who are now in custody
of her children

444
00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:45,198
because she left no word
of how to provide

445
00:17:45,232 --> 00:17:47,367
for her children
in case of her death.

446
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,536
Oh, shit. I got
to take care of that.

447
00:17:49,569 --> 00:17:51,171
Shh. We're dead.

448
00:17:51,204 --> 00:17:52,672
Sorry.

449
00:17:52,705 --> 00:17:55,642
Sam's friend Tressa
would like to say something.

450
00:17:55,675 --> 00:17:57,110
* I saw God

451
00:17:57,144 --> 00:18:00,147
* In the forest

452
00:18:00,180 --> 00:18:01,214
(sniffs)

453
00:18:01,248 --> 00:18:04,417
* Teaching Tai Chi

454
00:18:04,451 --> 00:18:07,187
* To the trees...

455
00:18:07,220 --> 00:18:10,823
Sam was my best friend.

456
00:18:10,857 --> 00:18:13,260
Even if I wasn't hers,
which is fine.

457
00:18:13,293 --> 00:18:14,661
Hee.

458
00:18:14,694 --> 00:18:17,397
Quiet are the dead.

459
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:18,998
Oops.

460
00:18:19,031 --> 00:18:23,170
She is the best mother
I ever saw.

461
00:18:23,203 --> 00:18:25,405
Better than my mother.

462
00:18:25,438 --> 00:18:27,140
Better than me.

463
00:18:27,174 --> 00:18:30,310
I could never be like her.

464
00:18:30,343 --> 00:18:33,780
Which is always a comfort.

465
00:18:33,813 --> 00:18:36,949
She's like my pace car.

466
00:18:36,983 --> 00:18:38,885
I love you, Sam.

467
00:18:38,918 --> 00:18:40,420
I'll miss you.

468
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:43,956
Aw. Sorry.

469
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:50,062
My mom was really cool
and talented,

470
00:18:50,096 --> 00:18:53,366
and I really admired
the way she worked so hard.

471
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,834
And even though she had
to take care of us,

472
00:18:54,867 --> 00:18:56,869
she did amazing things.

473
00:18:56,903 --> 00:18:59,906
And I always watched every show
she ever did,

474
00:18:59,939 --> 00:19:01,574
but I never told her.

475
00:19:01,608 --> 00:19:05,312
And I was always proud of her,
but I never told her,

476
00:19:05,345 --> 00:19:07,447
because...

477
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,950
I think that once
I gave her that...

478
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:13,786
I wouldn't have it
to give anymore.

479
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:16,656
And now I wish I hadn't waited.

480
00:19:16,689 --> 00:19:18,491
My mom was my rock.

481
00:19:18,525 --> 00:19:21,928
Every day of my life
I wake up and I feel bad.

482
00:19:21,961 --> 00:19:23,796
I feel like I'm not going
to get through this day

483
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:26,599
just with all the stuff
that's in my own head.

484
00:19:26,633 --> 00:19:28,901
And as soon as I see--

485
00:19:28,935 --> 00:19:31,571
would see her in the morning,

486
00:19:31,604 --> 00:19:34,407
I would unload on her:
"Mom, where are my socks?"

487
00:19:34,441 --> 00:19:36,776
Or whatever, because...

488
00:19:36,809 --> 00:19:39,446
I needed to give her
some of my pain

489
00:19:39,479 --> 00:19:42,649
because I knew she could
carry it when I couldn't.

490
00:19:42,682 --> 00:19:44,817
And now that she's gone,

491
00:19:44,851 --> 00:19:48,020
I don't know what
I'm going to do.

492
00:19:48,054 --> 00:19:51,324
I never watched my mom's shows.

493
00:19:51,358 --> 00:19:54,126
Ever.

494
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,530
I never saw any of her work.

495
00:19:57,564 --> 00:20:01,468
And I don't really care about
what she did because she's Mom.

496
00:20:01,501 --> 00:20:04,103
(sniffles)

497
00:20:04,136 --> 00:20:08,375
And I was jealous that people
knew her before I did.

498
00:20:08,408 --> 00:20:11,978
And I never wanted to share her.

499
00:20:12,011 --> 00:20:14,381
Not even with my sisters,

500
00:20:14,414 --> 00:20:17,183
because I remember
when it was just me and her.

501
00:20:17,216 --> 00:20:21,220
Even when my dad was there,
it was just me and her.

502
00:20:21,254 --> 00:20:24,857
And I know that was hard for her
but I loved it.

503
00:20:24,891 --> 00:20:27,627
(crying and sniffling)

504
00:20:27,660 --> 00:20:30,997
So I don't like that she's
famous or on TV.

505
00:20:31,030 --> 00:20:33,500
She's my mother.

506
00:20:33,533 --> 00:20:36,903
I learned from her
how to be a woman

507
00:20:36,936 --> 00:20:39,506
and how to be a person.

508
00:20:39,539 --> 00:20:42,742
And all I can say now
that she's gone is...

509
00:20:42,775 --> 00:20:44,777
(crying)

510
00:20:49,516 --> 00:20:51,083
RICH:
Sam.

511
00:20:51,117 --> 00:20:53,820
(crying and sniffling continues)

512
00:20:53,853 --> 00:20:57,724
Sam was a...

513
00:20:57,757 --> 00:21:00,026
unhinged...

514
00:21:00,059 --> 00:21:03,029
complicated woman.

515
00:21:03,062 --> 00:21:05,998
She was very short.

516
00:21:06,032 --> 00:21:08,267
I never told her that,

517
00:21:08,301 --> 00:21:11,270
but I think we can all now say
she-she was short.

518
00:21:11,304 --> 00:21:13,340
Yes, she was very short.

519
00:21:13,373 --> 00:21:15,074
(crying and laughing)

520
00:21:15,107 --> 00:21:17,510
She lied a lot.

521
00:21:17,544 --> 00:21:20,380
A lot.

522
00:21:20,413 --> 00:21:23,049
She was two years older
than she ever told anyone.

523
00:21:23,082 --> 00:21:26,085
She was the rudest,

524
00:21:26,118 --> 00:21:29,088
most inappropriate woman

525
00:21:29,121 --> 00:21:30,823
I've ever met.

526
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:39,466
(sobbing):
Thank you, guys, so much.

527
00:21:39,499 --> 00:21:41,768
I love you so much.

528
00:21:41,801 --> 00:21:43,102
FRANKIE:
I love you, Mom.

529
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:44,571
MAX:
Mom, I love you.

530
00:21:44,604 --> 00:21:45,972
TRESSA: We love you.
RICH: Yeah.

531
00:21:46,005 --> 00:21:48,641
(crying):
Nobody said anything about me.

532
00:21:48,675 --> 00:21:51,811
I'm lying here dead
and nobody cares.

533
00:21:51,844 --> 00:21:53,312
(chuckling):
Oh, Dukey. Oh, Dukey.

534
00:21:53,346 --> 00:21:54,747
Sweetie.

535
00:21:54,781 --> 00:21:56,449
(overlapping chatter)

536
00:21:56,483 --> 00:21:59,251
(Duke crying)

537
00:21:59,285 --> 00:22:01,754
SAM (crying):
No. No, you're not...

538
00:22:01,788 --> 00:22:03,956

* To find your destiny
and place *

569
00:23:16,095 --> 00:23:18,397
* Did they set you straight

570
00:23:18,431 --> 00:23:21,200
* In your life crisis?

571
00:23:26,873 --> 00:23:28,841
* Did you see me
floating there *

572
00:23:28,875 --> 00:23:30,577
* Above your body

573
00:23:30,610 --> 00:23:32,545
* Like an angel suspended

574
00:23:32,579 --> 00:23:34,180
* Or an enemy

575
00:23:34,213 --> 00:23:37,550
