Mermaid (2025)

Post by bunniefuu »

When we were young

And were both in school

We had to play...

(BOAT WHIRRING)

(ICE CUBES RATTLING)

(LIQUID POURING)

(BLENDER WHIRRING)

(ICE CUBES RATTLING)

But those years are over

Don't worry, baby

Those years are over

Don't worry, baby

We're all getting older

You were at home

(BOAT WHIRRING)

Each of us carried

a separate load

f*ck you, Alisha!

f*ck you!

I always knew!

I always knew!

And the judge knew, too!

So, f*ck your alimony!

You're there and I'm on

a f*ck' boat, baby!

Those years are over

(SLURPS)

MAN 1: I should have

f*cked your sister

when I had a chance!

(DISTANT SHRIEK)

Those years are over

Don't worry, baby

We're all getting older

Alexa, k*ll the music.

Alexa, stop--

ALEXA: (ON SPEAKER) Okay.

Thank you.

(PANTS)

Oh my God.

(GRUNTS)

(THUD)

(SIGHS)

(CLATTERING)

(EXHALES)

(PUMPS SHOTGUN)

MAN 1: Hello!

(DISTANT SQUEAL)



MAN 1: You're on

private property.

On open water.

What happens next,

stays out here.

Final warning.

I'm comin' at you

with a loaded shotgun.



(PANTS)

(GROWLS)

(CREATURE SHRIEKS)

(PANTS)

(THUMPING)

Oh jee!

(CREATURE GROWLING)

(SIGHS)

Well, we're on a boat.

(PUMPS SHOTGUN)

Let's party.

(ROARS)

(CREATURE MUNCHING)

(SMACK)

(WHEEZING)







WEATHERCASTER: (ON RADIO)

...and then rainfall.

It's what?

103 is what it

feels like right now.

Our high today was 93.

So good, you know,

10, 15 degrees above

the actual

thermometer temperature.

In the shade,

it's where it's calculated.

And we're running

into from 102 to 110.

And that's the way it's gonna

stay as we head through.

Despite the number,

everybody's in the 100s here.

Feels like 104 for Lauderdale.

And there you see 103

in Miami, 105 in Homestead.

Where is the rainfall?

Too dry out there, up above.

And so we're trying to squeeze

out a couple of showers here.

And we may get some,

but this is gonna be far and

few between--

(DOOR SQUEAKING)



Hey, Trixi.

(VACUUM CLEANER WHIRRING)

(WATER FLOWING)

(BUBBLES GURGLING)

(TAPPING)

(BUBBLES GURGLING)

MAN 2: Doug, I know this isn't

a very popular term nowadays.

So, when I say this,

I want you to know

it's a genuine question.

From almost

a medical point of view.

But are you f*ck' Ret*rded?

Doug?

Uh, no.

I don't think so.

No.

MAN 2: Trixi said on Tuesday

you left a note in her locker

or some sh*t.

Like, what the hell?

Uh, it was a poem.

(SIGHS)

Look, I got to let you go,

brother.

What?

MAN 2: I said

I gotta let you go, brother.

Why?

Straight up, you've

gotten pretty weird, man.

I mean, a poem?

That's the worst. I...

I mean,

you're creepin' everyone out.

This is constructive.

I'm shootin' you

straight here, okay?

DOUG: Yeah.

Uh, I could--

We got the same dealer, man.

I'm not a f*ck' moron.

Yeah.

Doug, you haven't shown to

the last three staff meetings.

If you had, you'd-- you'd know

we got some big changes

goin' on around here.

We're adding two bombshells

from Miami to the roster.

Adding that breakfast buffet.

Uh, what about the fish?

MAN 2: They're not here

for the fish!

But...

They're not here

for the f*ck' fish.

They're here for the t*ts.

A 100 grand later,

I learned that the hard way.

This VIP tank room,

it was a pipe dream.

I blew it.

I was hopeful.

I like Florida. I like fish.

I had a little fish tank

when I was a kid,

but sh*t, this is a bust.

No one wants to look at fish.

They wanna look at t*ts.

They wanna focus on a nut,

not a grouper.

It's simple sh*t.

I gotta pivot.

It's just business, man.

Doug, you need some help, man.

Get some help.

(PUCK CLICKING)

(INDISTINCT LYRICS)

So, uh, you, uh, excited?

For what?

Hmm, to bowl.

I guess so.

(INDISTINCT LYRICS)

DOUG: You just wanna square up

with the pins there,

real good,

and you gotta get prepped,

and then you just do

three, two, one.

You see?

Three, two, one.

(BALL RUMBLING)

(THUD)

DOUG: Not-- not great.

But, uh, Dad's still learnin'.

(BOWLING PINS RATTLING)

Really can't explain

Just yesterday morning

I saw your face a--

(KEYS JINGLING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING

AND SQUAWKING IN BACKGROUND)

Well, maybe next weekend we

can get you out to the beach.

Take the boat out and stuff.

Um, yeah, maybe.

(CAR DOOR CREAKS)

(BIRDS SQUAWKING

Close the door.

(CAR DOOR SHUTS)

WOMAN 1: Oh, hey, munchkin.

Did you have a fun day?

Okay, good.

Hi.

(SIGHS)

Hi.

Hey.

Um, Keith PayPaled you

some money.

Did you get it?

Uh, I saw that.

Yeah, I thought that...

I don't know. It's like a--

MAN 3: Yo, Doug!

PayPaled you 200! You get it?

Cool.

That's for her, okay?

I want you

to get her something nice.

Party's two weeks

from tomorrow, so...

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm sayin' it so you show up

with somethin', okay?

Yeah. Uh, are we done?

'Cause I actually gotta go.

Really gotta--

WOMAN 1: You gotta

f*cking go?

DOUG: Get home, so...

Okay. Go on.

Well, as I ain't doing you

no f*ck' favors.

(CAR ENGINE WHIRS)

...my maker

Don't forget, okay?

Yeah.

If I were a rich man

I gotta go.

Bye.

I'd have been okay

I'd have been okay

But I had nothin'

Are you f*cking kidding me?

How's he doin'?

WOMAN 1: How do you think

he's doin'?

He's a f*ck' weirdo.

To find a second chance

Oh

(LEAVES RUSTLING)

(BOTTLES RATTLING)



(INDISTINCT TV CHATTER)

(DOOR CREAKS)

DOUG: How we doing, fellas?

Yeah, I know. I know.

The bridge is backed up,

all right?

So...

(SIGHS)

Okay, take it easy, Gus.

You look kinda bloated.

It's a big piece, Sandy.

There you go.

(INDISTINCT SPEECH)

MAN 4: Strange little man,

Dougy.

And the only thing

that's turned out right

was a candle.

DOUG:

Um, I don't have it, Ron.

It's not here.

Yeah, we would

have found it if it was.

You remember my son,

don't you?

Sup, player?

Y'all used to build

sandcastles right down here

while I was up here doin'

blow with your daddy.

Jesse, was it?

Well, it's Gator now.

On account of I gotta say

much,

but I got a little bite in me.

RON: That.

And he's the best damn

gator tamer

the Sunshine State's got

to offer.

GATOR: Yes, sir.

I had a show up in Tallahassee

goin' on five years runnin'.

It was until last month,

Birtha,

our biggest, she got my a*s

into a death roll.

Oh.

Occupational hazard, huh?

GATOR: Whoa!

(GATOR SNIGGERS)

GATOR: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Little man with them

big words.

What's goin' on here, Daddy?

I thought you said he was dim.

No, no, I didn't say that.

I said he was odd,

but that don't make him dim.

Gator's been helping me

with the day-to-days

in his downtime.

Oh, uh, yeah, just, uh...

Just been a bit of a bump.

Get in line, Dougy.

Life's built with walls

of tough sh*t.

I mean, you wanna hear what

I've been goin'

through lately?

(GRUNTS)

I just found out that

my mediocre wife of 35 years

done gone g*y.

Oh, Debby, really? Uh...

RON: Mm-hmm.

Apparently, it's just Deb now.

It's been

a multi-layered mind f*ck,

'cause usually lesbians and I,

we get along great.

Yep, Gator and I,

we've been livin' on the boat.

I emailed you in depth

about all this sh*t.

(GASPS)

(GARBLING)

RON: Let's see here.

Subject, "Yo, we need to talk.

Let's grab a beer soon,

dot, dot, dot."

No reply.

(BUBBLES GURGLING)

(COUGHS, GASPS)

RON: Two weeks later.

"Percs don't fall off trees.

You owe me three grand.

Let's be adult about this."

Smiley face.

(BUBBLES GURGLING)

(SCREAMING)

(GASPS, COUGHS)

Three days ago,

the last one I sent.

All caps.

"Debby's g*y,

exclamation point.

It all means nothin'.

Need money yesterday."

(DOUG GROANS)

(DOUG GASPS)

(THUD)

(GROANS, COUGHS)

RON: No reply again.

(COUGHS)

RON: sh*t, son!

Your daddy must be tired

of rollin' around in his grave

watching this sh*t.

I used to sit right here

in the kitchen with him.

High as kites, listenin'

to him ramble on about...

ACTOR 1: (ON TV) Oh no!

...how worried

he was about you.

He used to say, "Something's

not right with that boy.

He's off scratchin' his head,

writin' his poems and sh*t."

(SPLASHING)

RON: But I'd assure him,

I'd say,

"Just give him some time

to find his feet.

Meet a nice lady

and settle down.

That's all that he needs."

Well, here we are, Dougy.

ACTOR 2: (ON TV) Oh, my gosh.

You still livin' in his house.

Drivin' around in his car.

Still can't find your feet,

can you?

NARRATOR: Did you know

that the ocean

is 71 percent

of the Earth's surface

and holds over 1.3 billion

cubic kilometers of water?

It is said that humans have

only discovered

around 5% of it,

which leaves lots of room

for imaginations to run free.

Over thousands of years,

we have heard sightings

of sea creatures,

but one of them in particular

has continued to hold water.

(ON PHONE) Sightings

of mermaids date back

to the beginning of humanity,

from lonely Christopher

Columbus out at sea,

all the way to today.

From the Amalfi Coast of Italy

to the shores of South Africa,

these tails have continued

to stand the test of time.

NARRATOR 2: (ON PHONE)

Conflicting ideologies

of the mythology.

The western concept

is beautiful,

seductive singers that may

have been influenced

by the mermaids of Greek--

NARRATOR 3: (ON PHONE)

In Slavic folklore,

these monstrous creatures

travel in twos

or threes from their school,

hunting sinful sailors

and fishermen

all around the globe.

NARRATOR 4: (ON PHONE) They

communicate not by singing

but a deafening screech,

that has been documented

as the sound of hell itself

by those who have heard it.

It's gonna take about half

When they do,

you're flyin' high.

That's my good stuff.

Percs.

Uh, good news is I, uh,

know pretty much everything

there is to know

about saltwater fish,

but, uh, bad news,

I'm not too good with women.

Yeah.

Or people in general.

Yeah.

But I think that's why

this could be good.

You know?

we gotta, like,

come to some

I gotta be able to trust you

and you gotta be able

to trust me.

Trust.

Otherwise, I don't think

this is gonna work out.

And you're probably scared.

I'm scared.

You know, it's

new territory for me.

But as scary as it is...

(SIGHS)

As scary as it is,

I just gotta say...

I don't know how to say this,

so I'm just gonna say it.

You're kinda making me

feel some things, okay?

Yeah, I know it's-- it's,

like, really wrong or whatever

and it's weird,

and it's probably not good,

but, you know, here I am,

feelin' it.

I don't know why,

I don't know how.

I don't even know what it is.

It's not sexual or anything.

And I'm not into God

or anything like that.

Like, a realist.

But when I saw you,

I just thought of all

the places on the planet

of all the days and times

there we both

were ready to go.

It's like I could

feel it coming.

It's like it was destiny.

What do you think about that?

Yeah.

It's kind of a methy,

stripper name, but--

(SCOFFS)

Hell, welcome to Florida.

I only wanna dance

with you

When I don't,

my heart is blue

Don't want my kicks

From someone else

Can't watch the sunrise

all by myself

My sweetheart

When are you coming home

I only wanna sleep

in your arms

So I can keep you safe

from harm

I tiptoe around

So I don't wake you up

We roll around

in forget-me-nots

My darling

Don't let it burn alone

I only wanna dance with you

Only with you

Only with, only with you

Only with, only with you

I used to lay here

with my mom like this.

She, uh, she smoked too much.

She's just gone one day.

Only woman in my life

just, uh, gone.

Well, you know,

unless you count Tina,

Layla's mom.

We only had sex once.

You believe that?

That's all it took.

First and only time.

I was at a bar.

She was there

with her friends,

and they kept, like, pushing

her into me.

It was like a joke.

She said that I turned her on

'cause I looked like a kid.

So, I brought her back here,

and, uh, Dad was passed out

in his wheelchair.

Just drunk in front of the TV.

Yeah.

Went in my room, and, uh,

I was-- I was loud,

you know, having sex,

'cause I guess I wanted him

to hear me.

You know, like,

I wanted him to hear me

so he knew I was a person.

A normal person,

just doing what people do.

I can't even talk to

my daughter anymore.

She's started to look at me

just like everybody else does.

She's, like, embarrassed.

(GRUNTING)

Oh, okay.

Destiny, right?

Yeah, uh...

Uh-huh. Yeah.

She doesn't speak English,

so...

Yeah, Tina mentioned that.

It's, uh, it's exotic.

I get it. I dig it. It's fun.

Where's she from?

Huh? Uh...

The Atlantic.

She's from the-- little--

a little place

in the Atlantic.

It's, like, uh,

south of Atlantic.

Miami?

DOUG: South of, uh...

Key West.

I can't remember.

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, rough area.

Really rough area.

That's also why

she's paralyzed.

Oh Jesus, Doug.

Yeah, I know.

It's, uh, not good

'cause of, um...

Gangs.

There are gangs there,

and you know,

there was a drive-by,

so they got her.

Yeah, it's brutal,

as you can see.

Well, I actually can't see

'cause...

Huh?

MAN 3: You're kinda

blockin' her there.

Oh.

Uh...

Yeah.

Said they kept reminding her

she was dying.

So, I made her that

That was, like, a better--

Are you that f*ck' far gone?

-Okay.

-Wow.

Then what-- hey,

can we just, like, relax for--

Relax? You want me to relax?

Those are children, Doug.

I play tennis with over half

the moms at the country club.

Do you realize what

this is gonna do to us?

What?

I don't know what

you're talkin' about.

I haven't done anything, so...

WOMAN 1: Oh my God!

You're one of those people.

You're one of those

crazy f*ck' people.

What happened, Doug?

I mean, I knew it was bad,

but this is some f*ck'

Dateline sh*t.

I'm on a f*ck'

Dateline episode right now.

I mean, she looks horrible.

She looks like she was burnin'

a power plant or some sh*t.

I don't think you're really

graspin'

how disturbing this is.

Yeah, I know she's

not the easiest on the eyes,

but it's...

You won't even

give her a chance.

WOMAN 1: Oh my God!

(WOMAN CHUCKLING)

-WOMAN 1: Oh...

Yeah, you won't even--

-Did you even say hello?

-WOMAN 1: ...my God.

I didn't see it.

I mean, do you f*ck that?

Don't answer that.

DOUG: Okay.

I don't wanna be here if

we're not both welcome, so...

But I'm gonna go talk

to Layla before I go.

I don't give a f*ck

what you do, Doug.

And I-- you know, I--

Never mind.

MAN 3: He's been like this

for a long time.

He's just sick, sweetie.

And he has been for a while.

We've all known it.

And sick people

just need help.

They need smart doctors

and medicine.

(GIRL WHINING)

-MAN 3: And you know what?

We're gonna get him

all of that.

The smartest doctors in town.

GIRL: But...

I, uh...

I cried in front of my friends

so bad.

MAN 3: Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Everyone cries.

It feels good to cry.

And you know what?

You had every right to.

It's your party,

you can cry if you want.

Oh, it's a classic.

with that phone call earlier.

Um...

So we just wanna stop by

and check in on you.

And also,

Layla wrote something

she would like you to hear.

DOUG: Okay, uh, do we ha--

do we have to do this

right now, guys? Really?

Doug, you're gonna

let her read it, okay?

We know you're busy.

DOUG: Okay, uh,

I can't right now.

I know how that sounds.

I-- I just--

LAYLA: Daddy, please.

I wrote you a poem. I...

(PAPER RUSTLING)

...wrote it on the card

you gave me.

WOMAN 1: Which was some pretty

disturbin' sh*t, by the way.

Okay, Tina.

That's not helping.

Go ahead, honey.

Doug, you wanna sit down?

DOUG: No, okay? I-- I can't.

I rea-- I gotta go.

-Okay?

-LAYLA: Daddy.

Can you sit down?

(SIGHS)

-Um...

-Okay, stand up.

Okay, it's called "I'm sorry".

DOUG: Layla, please.

Okay, you don't have

to do this right now, right?

LAYLA: "My daddy should

carry me on his shoulders,

but I realize he can't

as I've gotten older."

Layla, please.

"I'm the one who carries him,

The dad who taught me

how to swim,

he's drowning deeper

every day,

Mom's run out of words to say,

but not me."

It's okay, baby. Go on.

LAYLA: "I'm sorry that

he's feeling pain,

I'm sorry that he's

filled with shame.

I'm sorry that his

dad was mean,

sorry that he used to scream.

I'm sorry that he went away

before my daddy got to say,

he's to blame for

all the shame,

he's the reason for his pain.

But, Daddy, something's

gotta change,

you're driving Mom

and Keith insane.

I love you, but you run away,

and I really need you here

to stay."

(LAYLA SOBS)

MAN 3: We're here, Doug.

You gotta make a decision

right now, okay?

Yeah.

Layla,

that was amazing.

Yeah.

That was-- that was better

than anything

I've ever written.

As soon as Daddy gets back...

LAYLA: Daddy, no. No, no!

No, we can talk about

all this, okay?

It's fine.

I love you.

I don't want it.

-MAN 3: Where you going, Doug?

-TINA: Doug.

-LAYLA: Daddy, don't go!

I don't wanna be this guy,

RON: That was your end

of the deal, not mine.

I don't even know

why they're part of this.

You wanted presentation.

You wanted a show.

And that's what

I'm giving you.

It's-- it's about comfort.

It's about the buildup.

It's about the vibe.

And you really think that when

they leave here,

they're gonna be thinkin'

about your trashy-a*s girls

or the f*ck' vibe?

I think I know entertainment,

and I think I know how to rock

the socks off

a f*ck' audience.

I think that's why you

came to me, right?

No offense, Ron,

but right now,

you're losin' them.

I say f*ck the no-shows.

f*ck 'em.

Let them be sorry

they missed it.

Let these vultures

fight over their sh*t.

Come on.

Their dicks are gettin' soft.

You know better than this.

All right.

Okay.

Now we're talkin'.

I wanna thank all y'all

on such short notice.

We sort of threw this thing

together real quick,

so thank you.

Thank you for

bearin' with us here.

I just want to say that, uh,

some of y'all are my friends.

Others are associates that

I've sold some party favors

to over the years,

if you get my drift.

(CHUCKLES)

And, uh...

Well, anyway, uh,

the rest of you,

I've-- I've only admired

from afar.

And, uh, I just want

to tell you

how much it means to me

that I have

some of the most powerful men

in the Sunshine State

in one room.

MAN 5: Ron.

RON: Yeah.

What the f*ck are

we doin' here, man?

Well, that's a good question.

You're like,

"Why has this m*therf*cker

brought me out here

in this shitty-a*s titty bar

on a Tuesday night?

Well, all that is

about to be revealed.

But first, let me

ask you a question.

What do you give to a man

who has it all?



(POP)

She knows how to rock

(CAP RATTLES)

See my baby

(INDISTINCT LYRICS)

(GULPS)

She knows how to rock

I want you to bear in mind

that this room could be filled

with the top marine biologists

in the country,

maybe even the world,

holdin' up their little

nerdy notepads,

askin' us how we did it.

Walter Disney himself,

who let me tell you right now,

is rollin' in his grave

because he missed out

on this sh*t.

But you know what?

He's dead.

And the scientists?

Well, they weren't

f*ck' invited!

Bring up the bubbles!



Let's get her wet, brother.

Okay, uh...

How many guys are in there?

I-- I don't know. Like, 10.

And the scary guy

in the tank room.

What are they doing?

-What are they doing?

-I don't know!

It's, like, an auction

or some sh*t.

We had to sign NDAs.

Shut up! (INDISTINCT SPEECH)

DOUG: I'm goin' in there.

He said she was dumb as sh*t.

But her t*ts were nice enough

Whoa, hey,

Oh.

Well, I guess Daddy was right,

Well, none of this

I guess the money's good,

though, right?

Yeah, the money's good.

But you know what I mean?

Do you know what I mean?

It...

...could have been good.

Could have been just fine.

You could have lived out

your sad little life,

and I could have

lived out mine.

How's that for a f*ck' poem,

Yeah, yeah,

Then, I'm gonna sh**t you

right in the back of the head.

Boom!

Did someone ever say goodbye

to someone

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm gonna sh**t you

in the d*ck first.

So you can feel it.

Like my boy felt it.

Yeah.

You know, I never--

I've never k*lled a man

before.

Uh, not that you're quite

a man, but-- but a person.

You know what I mean.

I've roughed a guy up

a couple times, but it's--

It's never been

this necessary.

Yeah.

(SNIFFLES, SIGHS)

Your daddy would k*ll me.

Yeah, because I kinda...

I got these butterflies

You are not gonna

He's gonna eat her.

(CUTLERY CLINKING)

What's your name?

Doug.

MR. MORRIS: Doug.

Okay, Doug.

I'm gonna try to

explain this as best I can.

I always say that to guys who

look

and carry themselves like you

because, you know,

this is goin' to go fast.

And you need to do your best

to try to keep up with me.

Okay, Doug?

You know, I-- I've been around

this globe numerous times.

I've slept everywhere that

a man could possibly sleep.

I f*cked everything that

a man could possibly f*ck.

And until last night,

well, I thought I

had eaten everything.

Think I get it.

Don't interrupt me, please.

Here's my point.

No matter how many places

I've been,

I always manage to come back

to Florida.

Do you wanna

know why that is?

Not really.

MR. MORRIS: Yeah,

it's the only place on earth

that can still kinda

surprise me.

You know, one night you

could be in a porta potty,

snortin' PCP

out of some young P

uerto Rican guy's as*h*le

who can't afford

to pay the rent.

And then two nights later,

you could be sittin'

on a beautiful boat,

watching the sun go down,

feasting on a-- a mermaid

who tastes like sh*t.

(GAGS)

MR. MORRIS: And then a guy

like you shows up.

He's got a bag of money

and a loaded g*n.

And, well,

I have no idea

what happens next.

And that's what makes me

keep coming back.

Chuy, can you show

this man off of my boat?

Chuy.

(g*n HAMMER CLICKS)

MR. MORRIS: Chuy.

Lo siento.

(CHUCKLES)

Okay.

MR. MORRIS: I'll tell you

what, um,

you can keep the money,

no strings.

You can go out

and you can buy yourself

some f*ck' jet skis, okay?

Whatever it is you people

waste your money on.

And, um, if you wanna

sh**t me,

why don't you just go ahead

and f*ck' do it already,

all right?

You know, spare me all this

melodramatic f*cking bullshit.

Wow.
