Our Hero, Balthazar (2025)

Post by bunniefuu »

You wouldn't believe

the faces people make

when I just try to talk.

Well, they're gonna see.

They'll see.

I'm gonna make them care.

They'll see the real me.

God.

This loneliness is k*lling me.

Are you lonely too?

God!

This loneliness is k*lling me.

God!

This loneliness

is k*lling me.

God.

This loneliness

is k*lling me.

God.

This loneliness is k*lling me.

Balthazar, get off the phone!

There's someone important

I want you to meet.

I'm busy.

Well, the internet will still be

here when you get back.

Come on.

Balthazar.

I'd like you to meet

Representative Hakeem Atkins,

the next senator

of the state of New York.

Balthazar.

Balthy.

Balthy?

That sounds like

a boy's name to me.

He looks like a man, Nicole.

Nicole, coming

to DC this weekend, right?

Oh.

I didn't know I was invited.

I need you by my side, Nicole.

It's my birthday this weekend.

Oh, well,

I'll let you two sort that out.

I know, I know, it's okay.

We'll talk to Antony.

Antony, my life coach?

- f*ck him.

- He's right there.

Everyone has to grow up

eventually.

Balthazar.

Bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

You're supposed to barricade

the door, guys.

Come on!

Now you're all dead.

Right now you're probably

asking yourselves

who the heck we are.

Well, I'll tell you who we are.

We are Act On.

The global leader

in mass sh**ting

preparedness training.

And do you know who you are?

And it breaks my heart

every time I say this.

You are,

statistically-speaking,

the number one target

for mass shooters.

You know, real-life versions

of the simulation

that you're taking part in

happen every day.

Just last week in Arkansas,

where the perpetrator

didn't just have g*ns

and say they were planning

an attack,

they had drawn out maps

indicating entry

and exit points,

none of which was enough

for the authorities

to stop the sh**ting

before it happened.

Which goes to show

you are the last defense

in a mass sh**ting.

Let me ask you a question.

Who would you tell

if a student said

they had a g*n and they were

planning an attack?

You.

Probably Ryan.

Ryan?

My family's chief of staff.

Okay, but then he would tell

the principal, right?

Uh...

He'd probably reach out

to Len first.

Who's Len?

My family's chief counsel.

Right.

You know, at Act On,

we study mass shootings

all over the world.

And whether it's high schools

or churches

or malls or movie theaters

or parades,

really any public gathering--

Yeah, you.

You said,

"all over the world"?

Yes. Act On is the number one

consultancy firm

for mass sh**ting

intelligence--

Um...

But this doesn't happen

anywhere else in the world.

It's only in America where we

have such easy access to g*ns,

coinciding with

a zero-sum economy

and the monetization

of narcissism,

all of which push hopeless,

lonely people, kids,

into an annihilation mentality.

Yo, what?

That sounds like more

of a comment than a question.

Here you go, Eleanor.

You're going to be

one of our victims today.

This stuff comes out

in the wash, right?

Okay. You probably think

everyone here is ber-wealthy,

but I'm on scholarship, so...

Excuse me.

Can I be a victim too?

Uh... Whatever.

Hey, psst.

You okay?

What? Yeah.

It was a joke.

I love jokes.

I thought what you said

earlier was really cool.

Super different.

Thanks.

It's pretty obvious,

though, right?

Talk to each other

in real life.

Be actual IRL friends.

Contribute to social good.

Why do all that

when you can just create

some douchebag company

that gets paid

to pretend terrorize us?

We're just like chasing

the violence we create,

you know?

Yeah, no.

Totally.

If you're really interested,

I'm hosting a rally tomorrow

in Washington Square Park.

You should come.

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I will.

And I'm super interested.

Hey, you guys,

you're supposed to be dead.

Anybody taking this seriously?

What you just heard

was a chilling account

of what happened inside

the Arkansas City sh**ting...

Hey Esteban,

Why do you think people

sh**t kids in schools?

Huh? Um...

That's not something you have

to worry about, Balthy.

Yes, Hakeem

is very charming, isn't he?

So, going into this next cycle,

how much do you think

you and Walter can give?

"'We're fighting

for our lives here,'

exclaimed 19-year-old

James Howe."

"We're f--We--We're--

We're fighting for our lives."

"We're fighting for our--

for our lives here."

"We're fighting for our lives."

"We're fighting

for our lives here."

I just saw the news

about Arkansas City.

No, you're not there yet.

Try again. Try again.

This awful country's just...

chasing the violence it creates.

It's not fair!

One more time.

I just heard the news

about Arkansas City.

Just give us IRL friends.

We're fighting

for our lives here.

I wanted to be honest

with you guys.

And what do I f*cking get?!

Nothing!

I don't know

what the f*ck I'm doing.

That f*cking sh**t--

Did you only touch me

'cause I was little?

Why did you r*pe me?

You're a f*cking pedo!

Cry about this, p*ssy.

This sh*t is all

I think about every day.

Are you lonely?

Of course I'm lonely.

I'm a f*cking school sh**ter.

For real?

Want to see

what I'm gonna do?

That's the Arkansas City

sh**ting.

This is the sh*t

they won't show on the news.

Hey Esteban,

do you like Hakeem?

I'm not big into politics,

Balthy.

Why not?

If you ask me,

it's a big grift.

What's a grift?

A con.

Thieving. They make you

care about something,

they take

your hard-earned money

and don't do nothing with it.

It's a grift.

Eleanor.

Eleanor. Hey.

- Bye.

- Bye.

What happened,

where's the protest?

Oh, um,

only ten people showed up.

Are you kidding me?

I mean, come on!

We're fighting

for our lives here.

Yeah, I know.

Well, what are you doing now?

So this is what

a $50 million view looks like.

Holy sh*t. Is that the Met?

We have an indoor pool too.

Not much of a swimmer, though.

My life coach

uses it sometimes.

- Your life coach?

- Yeah.

He was brought in

a couple years ago

to help me

"break out of my shell."

I haven't seen him much since

he started his new company.

Not that I need him.

What about your dad?

He lives in Westchester,

with his other family.

But he pays

for everything, so...

Can I show you something

in my room?

Okay.

This awful country is just

chasing the violence

it creates.

Just give us IRL friends.

We're fighting

for our lives here.

Is this sincere?

Are you actually crying?

Uh, that's a good question.

Um, I think it's nice

to be a part of a community.

Yeah, like, you and activism.

Ooh, ooh, ooh. Check this out.

I started DMing with a guy

that commented on it.

And you're gonna like this.

Look at what he sent me.

Why would I like that?

Because he's a school sh**ter.

He needs our help, Eleanor.

We could--we could stop

a school sh**ting.

Okay, let me show you

this other thing he sent me.

Security footage.

From the one in Arkansas.

What are you doing?

Are you f*cking psycho?

Wait. What?

- Jesus.

- I'm sorry, Eleanor,

it's just a video, though.

I thought

that's what you're into.

It's not just a video.

It's death.

-It's real death.

-Yeah, I know that--

It's really obvious none of

this actually matters to you.

You're just pretending it does.

-I'm not. I'm not.

-How the f*ck

-do I get out of here?

-No. I'm not.

I'm not pretending. I care.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

It's my birthday this weekend.

So?

Jesus Christ, you really are

a f*cking psycho.

It's really obvious none of

this actually matters to you.

None of this

actually matters to you.

It's death. It's death!

It's really obvious.

None of this

actually matters to you.

It's real death.

You are just pretending

it does.

What the f*ck?

You're just pretending it does.

You're a f*cking psycho.

It's really f*cking obvious

none of this

actually matters to you.

You're just pretending.

It's really obvious

none of this

actually matters to you.

Hey, Death.

Wassup, p*ssy?

Having kind of a bad day.

My girlfriend called me

a psycho.

That's every day for me.

Except no girlfriend.

That's why I want to k*ll

everyone and everything.

Don't do it.

I really want to help you.

No.

Are you there?

Don't do it!

What the f*ck?

Saw your profile.

What do you think of this?

That's very forward.

Is this a scam?

Not a scam.

You seem like my type.

Huh. Sick.

Where do you live?

Why?

Because I want

to be in your bed.

It's been a long time

since I had a warm body

cuddled up against me.

You know

what else I want to do?

What?

LOL.

I knew you were all talk.

Keep your c*ck

as deep in my throat

as it can go until

your ba*ls have pumped out

every last drop of c*m.

Damn.

That's cool.

But honestly, I just want

to hear your voice.

So I know you're a real person.

Ahh, I see.

Well...

Mom?

Oh. Balthazar,

I didn't know you were awake.

Oh, honey,

did you get any sleep at all

last night?

Please don't go

for my birthday.

Oh, Balthazar.

Why didn't you tell me about

the sh**ter drill at school?

I want you to know that me

and some other parents,

we have already started

a petition

to stop companies like that

from operating

in Manhattan schools.

Uh, is that all you're doing?

Oh, well, I guess,

I could talk to our lawyer,

or... I know what.

I'm going to bring it up

with Hakeem.

He can talk to people

in Washington

on your behalf.

-And you--

-Okay, Mom. Bye, thank you.

Have a nice trip.

Bye. Happy birthday.

I want to lick

the sh*t off your d*ck

after you f*ck my a*s.

Do you want

to meet in real life?

Hey, guys.

Something very important

happened to me last night.

I couldn't cry.

And you know, if you know me,

you know that crying

is the only way I feel real.

But recently,

someone I care about

told me that my crying

is insincere.

So I guess it's not real.

Do you want to come

to Texas with me?

We can do this.

See, I've been talking

more to that guy.

See, but it's

confusing because--

I'm not crazy, okay.

...some people say

they want you to be sincere.

But then when you show them

how sincere you are

by inviting them to Texas

to try to change

the world with you,

they freak out.

And--and--and make

a huge scene in the hallway

because they care more about

their stupid scholarship

than they do

about kids getting shot.

Everything okay?

Well, I don't have

a stupid scholarship.

Fine. Fine.

-And maybe the sh**ter--

-Hey!

...is expecting

a different person.

I'm the one who cares, Eleanor!

Me, I do.

But once he gets to know

the real me,

we'll become friends.

And then

I'll tell him the truth

and he'll understand.

Because, guys,

if you really care,

you have to show up.

I'm showing up.

Are you?

Yeehaw.

What's his name again?

Balthazar. It's his birthday.

Yo, surprise!

Surprise!

Happy birthday, buddy.

Hey, where are you going,

buddy?

You're gonna miss your party.

It's not my birthday

till Friday, Antony.

Yeah, I know.

Hey, listen, I'm sorry.

Friday's really busy for me

and my other clients.

Your mother said

you don't have any plans.

Wait. What are you

all packed up for?

-Whoa. Hey.

-Just let me--

Balthy, you know I still

submit reports to your father.

Okay, so then submit

your stupid little report

and tell Robert that I'm fine.

You need his money just as bad

as Mom does, don't you?

Okay. All right. Listen.

Who the f*ck are these idiots?

Who are these people?

Hey, hey, it's Chris,

Devon, Rebecca.

You know John. That's John.

John from Safe Landing.

- John. Oh!

- How about this?

How about you just tell me

where you're going?

What would that do

for the kids, huh?

Kids? What do you mean, kids?

The kids. The kids, Antony!

Balthazar, Balthazar.

You're coming off

really manic right now.

I know why I haven't seen you

as much this past year.

It's not because

of all your new clients.

It's because...

You're not attracted to me

anymore, isn't it?

Is it because I hit puberty?

Shut that sh*t down.

Stop that sh*t right now.

Did you only touch me

'cause I was little?

Bro, I've seen your videos.

I've seen them. Stop it!

He's doing a bit.

It's not funny.

-Why did you do this to me?

-Stop!

Why did you do this to me?

Why did you?

Why did you r*pe me?

Balthaza--

You can't say sh*t like that.

Hey, stop!

-Why did you do--

-Bro.

-I won't tell anybody!

-Stop it.

-Just let me go please.

-There's nothing to tell.

There's nothing to tell.

There's absolutely nothing--

Yeah, right. Yeah, right.

-You're a f*cking pedo!

-Shut the f*ck up!

Antony! Let him go!

You need to calm down.

-What in the f*ck?

-Relax. He's a kid.

Your attention, please.

Passengers are allowed only...

- I am ready for w*r!

- w*r!

- I am ready for w*r!

- w*r!

- I am ready for w*r!

- w*r!

- I am ready for w*r!

- w*r!

- I am ready for w*r!

- w*r!

- I am ready for w*r!

- w*r!

- I am ready for w*r!

- w*r!

Whoo! Whoo!

Holy sh*t.

I think I see a room

full of f*cking winners.

Y'all wanna know something

about winning?

In order to know how to win,

in order to get to the top,

y'all gotta get to know

the bottom.

- That's right.

- Yes, sir.

Lock that in, folks.

Suffering builds winning.

Say it with me now.

Suffering builds winning!

That's right.

That's why

our keynote's here today.

When I first met him,

he was fresh

out of the penitentiary.

Not a dime to his name.

But you know

what I saw in his eyes?

This m*therf*cker

wanted to win.

Let's show some love

for the one and only...

Beaver f*cking Jackson!

Beaver! Beaver!

Beaver! Beaver!

Yeah!

Hey, can we, uh--

can we turn

all that noise off, please?

Thank you.

The Beaver Jackson

that you see standing here

in front of you today

is a f*cking winner.

I'm not going to talk

about today.

I'm talking

about seven years ago.

Seven years ago,

I was dried up,

broke, busted, beaten.

I was an addict.

Mostly sex, but meth too.

I walked out on my family.

My wife, God rest her soul.

My 13-year-old boy.

And I looked everywhere

for someone else to blame,

except...

- The source!

- Source!

For nearly a decade,

I didn't see my boy.

My...

My beautiful boy.

I was a bad father,

like I imagine

a lot of you are.

And then

one day...

Thrush.

Incredible crowd today.

I'm telling you

that personal sh*t sells.

All right.

Do I have to sell all this

before I start making anything?

Are you whining?

-No.

-Jesus, Solomon.

-I'm not.

-I got Supes to get you

the wholesale rate,

-and you are whining.

-I'm not whining.

I just didn't think

it was gonna be that much.

You got that money or what?

Yeah. Hey. All right.

Move this supply,

you've made your money back.

Sell any more?

Just fill out this slip.

Send it to the home office.

That's as good as money.

And remember,

you sell the story,

not the product. Understand?

Yeah. Sell--sell the story,

not the product.

Hey, Dad.

You know, I reached out

to you 'cause...

I know we haven't spoken

in a few years,

but I've been...

I've been having a hard time.

-There you go.

-I thought we could...

Supes!

You want to talk

about a hard time?

You hear about that

sh**ting up in Arkansas City?

No.

His little cousin

got shot there.

You don't hear him whining.

Okay, Sol, I gotta boogie.

Congrats, kid.

Welcome to the Thrush family.

-Thank you.

-This'll be good.

For us, for uh,

for our relationship.

Come here, kid.

'Sup, Carson.

Hi, Grandma.

- Grandma?

- Hey, baby.

-I'm back here.

-All right.

Gonna need a little help.

You gotta stop

going to the bathroom

-without your walker.

-I know.

I know, I know, I know.

I thought I could do it.

I need your help getting up.

I got you.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- Oh, God.

- Come back.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay, here we go.

Let's do the dance.

It's like a conga line.

I was doing good,

and then it just got aggravated.

You know what I mean?

All right,

all right, all right.

God bless.

Hey, guess what?

What?

You're looking at...

the future number one

supplement salesman

in North Texas.

A salesman?

How about that?

f*ck' A, baby.

Hey, can I practice

my pitch on you?

sh*t. If I weren't your grandma,

and you showed up at the door,

try more than a pitch on me.

Grandma.

- All right.

- Ha!

My name is Solomon Jackson,

and I'm Thrush

independent advisor.

-Thrush?

-That's right.

Can I ask you all

to do me a favor?

All put your hands up

and take a close look

at your fingers.

You see this finger here?

It's your index finger.

You see this one next to it?

You see how they are similar

in length?

Well, that means

you are short on testosterone.

- What is that?

- It's in your ba*ls.

-In your peepee.

-Oh, really?

And I know you love your mama.

She did not expose you

to enough testosterone

in the womb.

-I'm afraid she bore you weak.

-Solomon.

At this stage in your life--

Maybe not this stage, but--

Grandma!

You listening?

- You fell asleep.

- Oh, sh*t.

Well, you can put

your hand down.

Done that bit.

Are you ready for w*r?

Because you're going to need

as much w*r fuel testosterone

that a body can take.

- Git!

- Get the f*ck out of here.

- f*cking git.

- Good night, Solly.

I'm sorry.

Ooh! Oh, Solly,

that was so f*cking good.

Hey, you're keeping your job

at the Pump-N-Go, though, right?

Yeah, yeah.

I just want to find a way

that I can show up

for myself a bit more.

Your mama

would be so proud of you.

Thanks, Grandma.

News just broke

about Arkansas City.

You hear the news, Solly?

You better sell

more of those d*ck pills

or you're going to be living

underneath the bridge

with the bums.

Rent went up 65 percent.

65?

What the f*ck

am I supposed to do, Myron?

How are we supposed

to pay that?

Hey, don't sh**t

the messenger, buddy.

I'm not sh**ting--

Yeah, I f*cking

will sh**t somebody.

Blow someone's

f*cking head off.

-Hey, f*ck you.

-f*ck you, old man.

f*ck you, you little prick.

Taylor.

Hey, now, stop me

if I'm getting

out of line here, Brian.

But I'm assuming

you don't want to be

assistant manager here

your whole life.

Shitty a*s office doing

schedules the whole time.

Don't you want something more?

Don't you want to feel

like a real man?

Dude, you called in 30 minutes

before your shift started

yesterday.

I ended up having

to cover for you.

-No, but--

-Do you honestly believe

-that you still have a job here?

-No. My dad was in town.

He doesn't come around

very often.

That--that doesn't matter, man.

There have been complaints.

Now, I'm not saying who,

but you make your

female coworkers uncomfortable.

Taylor is the only female

that works here.

Taylor, why did you say

I made you feel uncomfortable?

-I didn't say that.

-Yes, you did say that.

-Brian just told me you did.

-Brian!

All I did was ask you to go

to the Jimmy Phantasm event

-at the Astrodome.

-Yeah.

And I said no,

because I'm an adult.

So saying no

makes you feel uncomfortable?

No, Solomon.

You asking me if I think

cartoon characters are hot

makes me uncomfortable.

You talking to me

about your dad's d*ck

-makes me uncomfortable.

-I can talk--

And you lingering around me

in the store,

struggling to make small talk

because all

you can think about

is cartoon characters

and your dad's d*ck--

- That's not--

- ...makes me

-f*cking uncomfortable.

-That's not all I think about!

You're like

a f*cking incel guy,

and that's uncomfortable.

I'm not an incel, Taylor.

I'm not a f*cking inc--

You know what?

f*ck you, Taylor.

'Cause all I wanted

was for you to be my friend.

And now I'm gonna be

f*cking homeless

because of it, you know that?

Solomon, it's time to go, man.

Solomon, get out of the store.

Go!

Don't make me call the cops!

Go, get out of the store, man.

f*ck you, Brian!

- Go!

- Bye.

How are you doing today?

I got some g*ns

I'm trying to get rid of.

Sorry.

Unfortunately, there's no

serial numbers on these.

It's a federal crime

to buy these.

They're good g*ns.

They sh**t straight.

Please stop touching the g*n,

okay?

- No. My dad gave these to me.

- I understand.

Your dad did you wrong.

I'm sorry.

I can give you a good deal

for these.

-I bet you would.

-What's that supposed to mean?

-You're not gonna take them?

-No, sir.

You know somewhere that might?

-No, sir. You have to leave.

-Okay.

Well, that's your loss.

These are good g*ns.

They have

a lot of sentimentality to me.

I don't buy sentimental stuff.

- f*ck you.

- f*ck you, too.

f*ck!

You're the source.

You're the source.

You're the source.

This is Beaver Jackson,

senior consultant

at Thrush Inc.

Can't get to the phone

right now

but I look forward

to connecting with you.

Leave a message. All right.

Hi, Dad.

I...I know you told me

only to text you.

Please don't be mad.

I, I think--

I think I made a mistake.

Um...

We need that money

I gave you and...

Can I give

some of this stuff back?

Just let me know.

Solomon! Solomon!

Solomon! Solomon!

Solomon! Solomon!

Solomon! Solomon!

Yeah, right.

Oh, sh*t.

I want to lick

the sh*t off your d*ck

after you f*ck my a*s.

Yo.

The 710 Express from Houston

is now arriving at bay nine.

Hey, you Terra?

Terra?

Terra?

Terra?

f*cking...

Solomon?

Solomon. Right?

Do I know you?

Um, yeah. You're waiting

for a girl, right?

Terra? Is that right?

Who the f*ck are you?

What is this?

I met Terra

on the bus, and yeah,

she asked me

to come and find you

and tell you sorry. Um--

What do you mean, sorry?

She had to turn around

because her sister,

she's in the hospital.

The f*ck are you talking about?

Why wouldn't she just

message me that herself?

-Because her phone broke.

-What is this?

-Is this a trick?

-No!

-Are you f*cking with me?

-No, I promise!

-Is this a f*cking trick?

-I swear, I swear.

Please don't hurt me.

I'm sorry.

You telling me the truth?

Yes.

This is the truth?

Yes, I promise.

- f*cking stupid.

- No, no, no, no.

-So f*cking--

-No, no, no, no. It's okay.

She's going to text you

as soon as her phone

starts working.

She said that?

Yeah, yeah.

And she was...

she was really looking forward

to meeting you.

I can't believe I thought

it was a f*cking trick

when her--when her sister

might be dead.

I'm such a piece of sh*t.

f*cking--f*cking piece of sh*t.

I f*cking hate my brain.

Who are you texting?

It's just my mom.

She wants me to call her back.

Do you like your mom?

Uh-huh. Yeah.

Well, then you call her

right now.

All right? You never know

what you got till it's gone.

f*cking call her right now.

I'm serious.

Balthy?

-Balthy, hello?

-Yeah. Mom! I'm here.

Oh, I'm so glad you called.

How was your birthday

with Antony?

Yeah. It was fine.

His sober companion friends

came over,

- and they went swimming.

- Oh.

Antony said

he brought a cake, too.

Did you have

a really good time?

I want to lick

the sh*t off your d*ck

after you f*ck my a*s.

f*cking knew it.

Okay, Mom, I gotta go. Gotta go!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Give me your phone.

My what?

Give me your phone.

My phone?

f*cking give it to me!

Okay. Okay.

Solomon. Calm down.

It's me.

Balthy!

BBoyMalone? We were messaging,

I'm from New York.

You remember that, right?

You remember, don't you?

Come on, man, you remember

we were messaging.

I just wanted to be friends!

God.

I just wanted

to be your friend.

I just wanted

to be your friend!

- Hey.

- Oh.

What'd you say

about being my friend?

You looked like

you needed someone.

And you took a bus

to Fort Worth for that?

No. I flew

from New York to Houston,

and then I added a bus trip

because I didn't think

it'd be believable

if you picked Terra up

from an airport.

What, all that,

just to be my friend?

Well, get in!

So when were you planning

on doing it?

Doing what?

Um, school sh**ting.

School sh**ting?

Yeah. That's what you said.

That's why I'm here.

'Cause I thought that maybe...

I thought maybe

that if you had a IRL friend,

you wouldn't do it.

That's why you're here?

You think

I'm some kind of maniac?

Man, I should--

I should f*cking smoke you.

-Smoke me?

-Dumb a*s.

-With what, with a g*n?

-Yeah, what the f*ck you think?

b*tch! Open the glove box.

Huh?

Oh!

Never seen one before?

IRL?

No.

You wait till you see

the rest of what I'm packing.

What you lookin' at?

Come on.

Come on.

- Hey, Grandma.

- Hey, baby.

- You gonna shut the door?

- Oh.

This is, uh...

It's my new friend.

-What's your name again?

-Balthazar.

-Everyone calls me Balthy.

-It's Ballsy.

- Balthy. Bal-tee.

- Ballsy?

No, it's Balthy.

-It's French.

-Okay, well, whatever.

Can you believe this c*cksucker

came all the way

from New York to visit me?

Dumb a*s.

Wait here.

You dragged your a*s

all the way from New York City

to see my Solly?

Solly tell you

what's been happening

- around here?

- Mm-mm.

They are raising the rent.

m*therf*ckers.

Yeah, we're going

to have to find

somewhere else

to live pretty soon.

Hmm. Yeah, that'll be nice.

You could buy a real house.

Balthy! Come here.

-Whoa.

-This what you wanted to see?

Look at that.

"Love is forever

an elusive bird, stuck--"

Not that.

That's the first plan

I ever drew up.

And that's where

it all started.

Yeah.

I had a lot of phases.

You like Jimmy Phantasm?

It's been with me

since I was a kid.

That's my guy right there.

Yo, Jimmy

was your average teen

A brainiac whiz

who invented a machine

To catch ghosts,

tracked them with EVP

And tap them

with a subatomic laser beam

You guys are getting kicked out?

-What?

-Your grandma.

She said you guys

are getting kicked out.

No, off the land.

-It's our trailer.

-Oh.

f*ck want to charge me

ten grand to move it.

f*ck them.

Is that a lot?

Yeah, but I'm going

to sh**t them all

in their f*cking faces.

Go, go, go!

Jimmy Phantasm

Go, go, go, go!

You hear those babies crying?

Well, not anymore.

They're dead.

Hey, you want to use

the, uh, pistola

or one of the ARs?

Look. There's a few.

Hey, hold it like a f*cking man.

Put it up. You got a grip?

I know you're going

to like it. Put it in.

Shoulder, here.

Hips, square them up.

Look down the scope.

Don't worry.

Safety's on.

It's not just going to go off.

See the bottles?

Hey, it feels good,

doesn't it?

Now remember,

don't ever point a g*n

at someone

unless you mean to use it.

Okay?

These things k*ll people.

Yeah, I know that.

That's why I'm here.

Yeah. Me too.

Nothing happened.

Safety's on, stupid.

sh**t it.

Whoa. Whoa.

Oh.

Oh, you like that sh*t,

don't you?

Let me do it again.

Yeah, but this one.

-Same deal. Shoulder.

-Yeah.

Grip it, down the barrel.

Mmm, nice sh**ting, city boy.

Mmm.

Yeah. That hurts, doesn't it?

Hey, you know why yours hurts

and mine doesn't?

Because the bad news is, Balthy,

you were born-- hey!

The bad news is

you were born a little b*tch.

It's probably why you're sore

from all that kickback.

And it is definitely why

you make

all those crybaby videos.

But the good news

is that if you act fast,

you can take a look

in the mirror today

and take some responsibility

for that low T count.

Hey, let me ask you

a question, Balthazar.

Are you ready for w*r?

Because a w*r is coming,

and you gotta be able

to protect yourself

and your family.

Which is exactly what

a daily serving

of Thrush will do.

You trying to sell me these?

Yeah.

I don't think I'm interested.

I tell you.

Well, I could see myself

getting real angry, Balthy.

You know?

Just at the world,

like in Arkansas City.

16 people dead.

Just bam, bam, bam.

Okay. Okay.

If I buy these,

will you not do

a mass sh**ting?

Unfortunately, no.

But if you bought all this

and then put in an order for...

one year's supply...

well, then maybe.

Maybe I could see myself

standing down

for a bit.

Yes. Yes, yes.

Whoo-hoo!

Oh, yes!

Oh, my dad is gonna flip.

Yes! Yes!

Can't go wrong, baby.

- Oh my God.

- Can't go wrong, right, baby?

You like that, baby?

Can't go wrong, baby.

Can't go wrong, baby.

That's your dad?

Uh-huh. Yeah, he did porn

a few years, amateur MMA.

He had a bit

of a dark phase with drugs.

That's how my mom died.

Now he's the biggest

Thrush distributor

in the region.

When he sees how much I sold,

I feel like he's going

to invite me in.

The inner circle.

We'll start making

real money together.

I've been meaning to ask,

you're not really crying

in those videos, right?

Mmm.

Well, I can make myself cry.

That doesn't mean

it's not real.

You think you could show me

how you do it?

How you cry like that?

You see any?

Well, you stopped

holding your breath.

f*ck!

I honestly don't know

how I do it.

I just sort of start crying,

and I can't stop

until I stop recording.

f*cking get this b*tch.

Huh?

Uh...

You gonna hurt somebody?

Solomon?

Okay. Let's go.

Huh?

Solomon.

The f*ck are you doing?

Solomon, I see you.

- Solomon.

- Solomon.

Solomon, you're not supposed

to be on the premises.

What are you doing?

You're freaking me out.

I see you.

Solomon?

Solomon, please.

Please, please, please,

don't do anything. I'm sorry.

Why? Why? Taylor!

Why?

I just wanted

to be your friend.

Goddammit, Solomon.

You scared the sh*t out of me.

What the f*ck was that?

Well, I just wanted you

to know how you made me feel.

God. You are so f*cking weird.

And I wanted to introduce you

to my new friend.

And he came all the way from

New York City to visit me.

Why? So you could dress him up

as Jimmy Phantasm

and suck his d*ck?

- No.

- Huh?

- Go, go, go, go!

- Stop it!

Stop that, Taylor!

Are you a little pervert

for cartoons, too?

No. No, we are friends.

Hey, tell her--

tell her we're friends.

Huh?

Yeah. We're friends. Yeah.

See, see, I have friends.

-I'm not a f*cking incel.

-Yeah, that's right.

Incels don't f*ck each other

like you and

butt boy over here.

What? No, we don't--

He's not butt boy,

his name's Balthy.

Sounds like

a butt boy name to me.

I just wanted you to know

that I have a friend.

Fine.

Now leave

or I'll call the cops.

Okay.

You see her face?

f*ck me.

She f*cking felt it, man.

I know she did.

Felt what?

Well, that I'm a person.

You didn't want to sh**t her?

Who, Taylor?

Nah, man.

I mean, she's a f*cking b*tch,

but sh**t her?

No way.

You getting in?

You want to see

where I was going to do it?

My school sh**ting?

I can show you.

Come on.

Come on.

Get down.

This is it, Balthy.

My sh**ting spot.

I practiced picking off

all the kiddies and teachers.

Picking them off.

One at a time. Mm-hmm.

You try.

Like this guy?

I could sh**t this guy.

Look.

I could sh**t him

in the f*cking face.

Want me to do it?

Okay.

Show's over.

I can't play this anymore.

Play what?

I'm not this thing.

I'm not. You understand?

Enough is enough.

You know?

What about the maps

you showed me?

I wasn't going to do anything.

They're just stupid

f*cking drawings.

If I call someone, can you

at least pretend I stopped you

from doing a sh**ting?

The only reason

I picked up the phone

is to tell you

to stop texting me.

Do you understand?

-Tell me you understand.

-Hey, I--

Hey, look, it's me, Solomon.

I'm with Balthy here,

Balthazar,

and, well, he stopped me

from doing a sh**ting.

I'm doing no more shootings

any time.

I don't know who you are

or how much that freak

paid you to say this,

but you should know

that that freak

likes to make out with people

to videos of school shootings.

Now tell him to stop

calling me, stop texting me.

And if he ever approaches me

at school, ever again,

I will have my mom get

a f*cking restraining order

on him.

You tried to make out with her

to the Arkansas footage

I sent you?

I didn't even watch that sh*t.

What's that?

Xanax.

Xanax?

Look. I'm sorry, Balthy. I f--

I know I f*cked up.

And you came all--

you came all this way.

I don't have any friends.

What's that?

It's 2C-B.

It's just been in my wallet.

I don't know how long.

Never had anyone

to do it with.

If we do that,

can we go sh**ting again?

You know what?

You might be

the first person I've met

who's weirder than me.

Solomon and Balthy.

Oh, I think he wants the p*stol!

What?

What?

What's so funny, Solomon?

-No! Don't!

-Don't f*cking laugh at me.

Don't you f*cking

laugh at me, Solomon!

What message

are we sending our children

about their future?

About this country's future?

When every day they're afraid

to go to school

because they may not

come out alive?

If this isn't the country

you recognize,

if this isn't the country

you want to recognize,

donate to Hakeem Atkins

for Senate.

I got you.

Donate to Hakeem

and f*ck my creampie p*ssy.

I want to lick

the sh*t off your d*ck

after you donate to Hakeem.

Did you really come up

with all those things

she's saying?

Finger me.

Yes.

Finger me.

You remember

that picture I sent you

of my d*ck?

Can't go wrong, right?

Like your dad?

Creampie p*ssy.

Creampie p*ssy.

Oh, sh*t. Oh! f*ck.

Let's go!

Thrush.

Thrush.

Look at this.

My son, the salesman,

can't go wrong.

- Right, buddy?

- That's right.

Let's go.

'Cause I'm running

From the law

That's Supes's girl.

You remember Supes, right?

Yeah.

What'll you have to drink, Sol?

On the old man.

Whatever you're having, Dad.

Gotta see my mind blown

Oh. I'm sorry. This is Balthy.

He's from New York.

Balthy, what kind of name

is Balthy, huh?

It's French.

It's a man's name.

You guys, uh,

smoke some wacky tobacky

on the way over here, huh?

Is that what it is?

Watch it, kid.

Yeah. Come on, Frenchie,

come over here. Get you a seat.

Now, look at that,

family business.

-Yeah.

-I bet that 2500's

burning a hole

in your pocket as we speak.

Ah. Yeah, well, I need to pay

rent on Grandma's trailer.

No, no.

In this business, you have got

to take what you made

and invest it.

That's the only way

to make more.

Basic principles of capitalism.

Of America.

Of America.

-You understand?

-Yeah.

No, I don't.

I don't understand.

Well, that's okay.

We are inviting you to invest,

inviting you into distribution.

Money that makes money.

-Yeah. f*ck yeah, huh?

-Oh.

What's this?

What's your deal, man?

He autistic?

He looks autistic.

So you get your 25 on what,

Monday, right?

Instead, you sign that sales

slip over to me right now.

On Wednesday,

you get four grand.

Four grand?

I just give you my slip.

I don't have to sell anything?

sh*t. You think Supes and me

still bust our hump going door

to door to unload this crap?

Hell f*cking no.

You got that slip?

No, I left it at home.

Huh.

Hell, you know what?

Why don't he just bring it

'round the conference tomorrow?

How about that?

-There's an idea.

-Right?

What do you say, kid?

A sale like this,

we have to put you on stage.

Of course, man.

That's Thrush legendary sh*t

right there.

Hey, hey, hey, you know what?

Stage right there.

Get up on it.

Give us a taste.

-Right now?

-You bet your a*s, man.

Yeah, man!

Get up on that g*dd*mn stage.

-Show us how it's done.

-Come on.

Suffering builds winning.

- Hey, hey, hey!

- That's my f*cking line.

You used my g*dd*mn line, man?

Can't go wrong with big Beav

or little Beav.

Why don't you quit

making assumptions, Kate.

-Yeah, Kate.

-Check him out for yourself.

Yeah. Why don't you, uh,

why don't you give

little Beav a tug?

Why don'tcha--

Do it!

I'm just kidding.

I'm just f*cking with you,

sweetheart.

I'll do it.

Oh, Katy, he ain't--

- Whoa!

- Dad!

He's not little at all.

-Hell yeah.

-Yeah.

-Okay.

-Laughing boy loves it.

Yeah, man.

Laughing boy does love it.

So listen.

Four grand could pay

a lot of rent

on that c**t's

oversized outhouse.

Can you not call her that,

please, Dad?

You're right. He's right.

She and I have had our

differences over the years--

...but I get that

she means a lot to you.

And, hey, I respect that.

This is a privileged position

we're offering you here, Solly.

- Distribution.

- I know.

This is me

being a good father to you.

Guiding you, son.

I got you.

It's a grift.

What? What'd you say?

Um, it's a grift.

He's making you care

about something

so he can take your money.

Solly, who the f*ck is this kid?

-Shut the f*ck up.

-It's a grifty grifty.

Shut the f*ck up, Balthy.

You believe I met

this little freak online?

And then he shows up

out of nowhere

and starts following me around

like a Ret*rded puppy.

Listen, Balthazar,

why don't you go wait outside

in the car

and let the real men talk?

Yeah. You tell him, son.

I didn't just show up.

I came here to stop you

from sh**ting up a school.

What'd he say? What'd you say?

I came here to stop him

from sh**ting up a school.

Hey, Balthy. Balthy, shut up!

Shut the f*ck up! What school?

-He showed me his plans.

-Shut up!

- You said you were gonna do it.

- Know what?

-Like in Arkansas City.

-What--

What did you just say

about Arkansas City?

Okay.

What did you say

about Arkansas City?

He sent me videos

of kids getting shot.

In Arkansas City?

I told you

he had people there.

f*cking f*ck off, Beaver.

I said shut the f*ck up.

He's joking. He's high.

So you think this is funny, huh?

Is that what you guys

both think?

This is f*cking funny, huh?

It's death. Real death.

You son of a b*tch.

You think this is funny, huh?

Huh?

-What?

-Hey, hey!

-Are you planning something?

-No! I'm not.

-Are you planning something?

-I'm not, I was trolling him.

Oh, so you think

this is funny, huh?

Do you know what a. 223 did

to my little cousin's face?

Huh? Okay, I'll show you.

How about that?

I'll take

this f*cking dart, huh,

and I'll shove it

through your g*dd*mn ear.

-You stupid son of a b*tch!

-Dad!

I'll shove this dart through

your g*dd*mn f*cking ear.

- How about that?

- Hey, hey!

Break this sh*t up right now.

Take it outside.

Get the f*ck out of here.

Go.

Take your loser kid

and you f*ck off

before I gut him.

-We're about to close.

-Get him out!

- Get out of here, Sol.

- Go now!

Go.

Now!

Hey! Sol, Sol.

Hold up, hold up.

Hey, listen, man.

Uh...

about that deal, distribution?

You in?

Gotta pay rent.

Dad, me and Grandma

are gonna get kicked out.

Oh for Christ's sake, Solomon,

are you a man or what?

Are you my son or not?

Now I need the money

before you said I'd get it.

Okay.

That's fine.

I get it. I'll get it Wednesday.

You will?

Yeah. Yeah. Right.

I'm sorry, Dad.

You f*cking embarrass me

like that.

Dad, I can't.

-You--

-I can't.

-Give me that money!

-Dad, I can't.

- Give me that money!

- No!

Stand up!

Oh, man.

'Course you're going to whine.

Don't be showing up

at that conference

begging me to be your daddy.

You make me sick, Solomon.

Where am I sleeping?

On the floor?

Waste of my time.

You're a waste of time, Solomon.

Are you ready for w*r?

Balthazar.

Aren't you going to tell me

where we're going?

The source.

Going to the source.

I get what I want.

You get what you want.

What is this?

Everyone always said

I was this thing.

I've tried to be that thing.

I've tried not to be that thing.

But I guess I am what I am.

You just let me get my dad.

And after that, take me out.

Make sure my grandma gets

the money from that sale.

It's not even a school.

No one's going to care.

You ready to be a hero,

Balthazar?

Hey.

Let's go.

Come on, Balthazar.

Balthy, come on.

Solomon.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

What the hell are you doing?

You crazy?

Okay.

Please!

Okay. Solly. Hey.

Is this about last night?

I fell off the wagon.

And I will admit that I got

a little out of hand.

I am a work in progress,

Solomon.

Okay?

Those the g*ns I got you

for your birthday?

You got them to me to hide.

Okay.

You know what? I f*cked up.

And I've been

f*cking up for a long time.

I would like to try to change.

I'm trying to change for us.

Don't do anything you'll regret.

I'm your daddy.

I love you.

Stop!

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Balthy, he's my dad.

Balthy, he's my dad!

Put it down!

Balthy...

Could you...

Will you stay

just one more night?

Hey, what's the matter, Solly?

You okay?

Hey, Sol?

They have taxis here,

don't they?

Balthy.

Please.

Please just be my friend.

Stop.

I can't believe I thought

you were a school sh**ter.

Look at you.

Stop crying. It's disgusting.

You hate me,

don't you?

You think I'm pathetic?

Yes, I do. Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

You're just a poor, dumb loser.

I'm gonna rip this up if you

don't stop crying, Solomon.

No! No.

What are you doing?

Stop it!

Grandma!

What did you do?

It's not my fault.

It's not my fault.

Balthazar.

Balthazar!

This is what you wanted, right?

Here I am.

What the f*ck's

going on, Solly?

Shut the f*ck up, Myron!

sh*t!

Shut the f*ck up.

Hi. You've reached

the voicemail of life coach

and personal

chief of staff Antony Kelly.

Please leave your name

and number

and I'll get back

to you ASAP.

And please, always remember,

be kind.

Antony, it's me.

Um, I'm in Arlington, Texas.

Will you contact

Dad's legal team?

So, he just went crazy?

I just wanted to be his friend.

I came here to stop him

from sh**ting up a school.

He showed me his plans

like in Arkansas City.

Yo, Jimmy was

Your average teen

A brainiac whiz

Who invented a machine

To catch ghosts

Track them with EVP

And zap them

With a subatomic laser beam

One night

He was out ghost hunting

But Jimmy accidentally hit

The wrong button

He tried to make it stop

But it was too late

Jimmy's DNA

Had started to mutate

When Jimmy got zapped

The ghost did too

They both got trapped

And their souls got fused

His eyes turned green

And his hair turned blue

But he can do things

That a ghost can do

Float through the walls of

His high school classroom

Blast other ghosts

With his ectoplasm

Jimmy's got powers

That no one has

Half ghost, half kid

That's Jimmy Phantasm

Balthazar?

Are you sure you're okay, honey?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

I saw you're speaking

at the convention tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm trying to get my story out.

Well, I'll be there.

Balthazar, this is our host,

Armand Lewis.

Balthazar. Hello.

Uh, I hear you like to go

by Balthy.

-Uh, Balthazar, please.

-Got it.

Uh, we good to go?

Okay. So they're gonna roll,

and I'm just gonna ask you

a few questions.

That sound all right with you?

Mm-hmm. One sec, please.

Okay.

In five, four, three...

Balthazar Malone.

Let's get right to it.

Some say you're a hero.

Some say m*rder*r.

Others say

you're just another victim

in a hopeless epidemic that

only children in America face.

So, in your own words,

Balthazar.

How do you see yourself?

It's okay. Take your time.

I mean, there's one test that

damn near everybody's got it.

Put your hand up

for me like this.

Okay. There you go. Right there.

This and this. Right, Supes?

We...

are fighting...

for our--

Tired of misbehaving

Call those shots

Upon those pricks

We're fixing to skin 'em

To belong here?

This ain't no place

For a sightseer

Looking for promotion

Mitigate a problem

Then dump it in the ocean

Nurse onto these grudges

For my sake

Here grievances run

Meddle into interest

You got none

See yourself

Deemed a stressor

Every man is

Someone's successor

Yeah

You're looking

We keep with kin

Seller and buyer

Beating on an iron door

You're looking

Like an animal

c*ck the hammer

Tuck it in

We keep it close

We keep with kin
