60 Miles North (2024)

[bunniefuu]

- Oooohh

No hot water again?

- No.

- Your landlord blows.

- Listen, it's a rat

and roach infested sh*thole

but it's rent control.

- I got up last night to take a piss

and a roach tried to pick

a fist fight with me.

- It's good enough every time

Melissa kicks you outta the apartment.

Huh?

- You should move to Miami.

- Yeah, that's what I want to do.

Trade in New York City for a cruise ship

where I sing under the sea

in the middle of nowhere.

I'll see you in tourist hell.

- Wait up.

We always go together.

- I gotta stop at the costume shop.

- Oh

- Photo? Five bucks. Photo with Dracula?

Photo?

- Photo? Photo?

Jesus.

I can't believe you went with Jesus again.

- I saved on hair and a beard.

What do you want from me?

- Yeah. Well I think

I'm gonna go with Satan tomorrow.

- And you'll save on a costume.

- Funny.

- Wings?

No, I'm not getting wings with you

anymore.

- What? Why?

- Why? Because every time we go

to the joint, you tell him

to keep him in for 15

minutes because I'm with you

he keeps mine in for 15 minutes

and they always come out burnt.

- How long do you want yours in for?

- Normal. Normal minutes

bro.

- So tell them that.

Come on, let's get some wings.

Dude, we didn't make any money today.

You know where we gotta go.

- f*ck - What happened? They

turn your phone off again?

- Yeah. b*stards.

- That's what happens when you

don't pay your phone bill

you idiot.

So how you gonna hear about this

game show host gig now?

- I have no idea.

- Taking forever to cast this thing.

- Nine auditions.

Okay. Two in front of network.

- I don't know how you do it. I'd be

going nuts if I was you.

- I am. - You want to use

my phone to call your agent?

- No, they hate that sh*t.

Anyway, how did your Blue bud audition go?

- Pitiful. How do you think?

They make me do it three times

with the blank stare and then they gimme

- No, the Cardinal Rule is if they

ask you to do it once

and say thank you, you didn't get it.

If they ask you to do it three or four

times, they're interested.

- I don't know man. I've been

wearing this starving artist

label like a badge of honor for so long,

but now I feel like a loser.

- Don't start. Okay. Alright.

You know who you signed up for? Yeah.

- But I thought by now we'd have something

to show for it.

- We live in New York City.

The entertainment Mecca

of the world. Okay.

If it was easy, everybody

would be doing it.

- Yeah. But that's just

it. We're not doing it.

We've been at this for 20 years.

And what do we got to show for it?

Couple of short films, some bit parts.

Maybe a one-liner here and there

and a play at the Producers Club.

But what we really are

is a bunch of scrubs

who stand in the middle of

Times Square begging for dimes.

- Clarence, cannot reach you on the phone

Come to... Holy sh*t man, look.

- Dude. Go. Go.

- Gimme your bag. Go. Go.

- And don't forget to pick up hot dogs

for the barbecue later.

- Alright.

I just got your message. They

turned my phone off again.

- Yeah. Perfect timing. Throw it away.

- What is this?

- That's your new phone from the network.

- Tim, don't f*ck with me.

I know we only have a

working relationship, man.

I had to jump the turnstyle

to get here. I'm desperate.

- Oh. So Jesus really

did hop the A train, huh?

You know you gotta get rid of

that Jesus outfit.

Every day you're in it

just to pay your bills.

You don't need it anymore

because you are now the

host of your own game show.

You booked it. You beat out

every actor in the city.

Hard work is paid off.

Here's your contract.

I looked it over. All you gotta

do now is wait for the ink

to dry after you sign it.

You know, even though

I've only been your agent

for a short time, you

are now single handedly

my hardest working client and

I'm proud to represent you.

Here we go.

You and me buddy.

Straight to the top.

You happy or what?

- f*ck' A, I'm happy.

- Good. You deserve this.

- You know how many auditions

that I've been on over the years,

how many stupid screenplays

that I've written?

I've broken in man. As a game

show host, but I've broken in.

Well, this is just the beginning.

You can continue to do all

that other stuff if you like.

But right now I need you

to give 100% attention

to this hosting gig. You got it?

- Absolutely. Yeah.

- So here's a list for you.

You gotta do these things.

Number one, get a haircut.

It's time to grow up. Make

yourself presentable. Okay?

You gotta go in for a

physical.

- By the way, what show are you doing?

I'm actually hosting my own game show.

I pick these guys up in a

cab, ask them questions.

They get the questions

right? They when money,

if they get 'em wrong, I kick 'em out.

- Great concept, man. I

- Like that.

You're gonna have to

do a background check.

You okay with that? You better be.

Now you're gonna have to take

a test for your TLC license.

You're gonna have to study for that.

You can't drive in the city

without that license. Okay.

I got a meeting with the

girlfriend so I can't stay.

And you know what? Here, take a cab home.

I can't have you running

around looking like that.

My best client. No way.

- Thanks man.

Hey, Tim. Aren't you married?

- Yeah. Thanks

- On me.

Congrats. Sorry I

overheard. I'm an actor too.

- To never giving up

- And to getting off at eight.

- To getting off at eight.

- Yo, there he is.

- Yo yo, everybody.

I wanna make a toast.

Not very good at this. Drunk,

but I feel it's appropriate.

I want to toast to

Clarence, my best friend.

One of my best friends

on this entire planet.

Me and this guy have been

beating the bushes for 20 years,

pounding the pavement in this crazy place

we call show business.

To his first starring role.

Steady gig as an actor.

And nobody, Clarence,

nobody on this planet

deserves this more than you, man.

You beat me to it. You b*stard.

But I'm still laughing

for you. Congratulations.

Thank you, man. You're next.

I hope. Hope so. You're next.

And listen to me now

that you're gonna be living

in a doorman building.

Next time she throws me

out. Can I still stay?

To Clarence. - To Clarence

- To dreams.

- Yes. Yes. Dreams. It can happen. Yes.

- Yes.

- What happens?

What happens? It's the most

unbelievable thing. You're next.

You made it in the city that never sleeps.

That's right. New York City. Woo.

Tonight you're staying up for me. Woooo.

What are you doing up so early.

- Got my TLC test today. Oh,

I made coffee by the way.

- You're not hungover.

- Ain't nothing stopping

this natural high, bro.

I got my own show,

- Man.

Last night was fun.

- Yeah, it was. Thank you

for putting that together.

- No problem bro.

- What are you doing today?

- Working. I

- Got rent this month.

- You serious?

- I'm dead. Serious.

- f*cking excellent. You are the man, bro.

f*cking working actor.

- Clarence. You good?

- I'm great.

- I bet you are.

Congrats again. So how

do you like your office?

- I've never had one before,

so if you gave me a cubicle in

the basement, I'd be happy.

- I like to hear that. A grateful man.

And we're grateful to have you

on board. Here are your keys.

We start sh**ting on Monday.

Just waiting for your background check.

Make sure you're not a serial

k*ller. Network protocol.

We got great faith in you. So get ready.

- I'm ready.

- Awesome.

Clarence. Mets or Yankees?

- Mets!

- Let's catch a game this summer.

- You got it.

- So are you gonna take

me to meet your parents?

- I'd like that.

- Oh, what did they say about

you getting the show?

- I didn't tell 'em yet.

- What? Why?

- I haven't even been up to

visit them in over a year.

And it's less than an hour away. Why?

Because every time I go up

there, whether it be a holiday

or whatever, all they do

is b*tch about, you know,

giving up the dream and getting

a real job and you know.

- Yeah, but you made it. It's

different. You gotta tell 'em.

- I think I'm gonna tonight.

- You have to.

They'll be ecstatic.

- I think you're right.

Thank you for coming tonight.

- Of course we have fun.

- Yes we do.

This is Clar. Hey, I don't know.

You gotta tell me what you're,

what what? What do you mean?

Okay. I'm in the park jogging.

I can come there right now.

Alright, I'll be right there.

- I'm gonna get right to the point.

The network is rescinding its offer

for you to host the game show.

- What?

Why

- Your background check came back.

You were convicted of drunk driving

and you failed to report it.

- Oh, ability impaired. Not drunk.

And it was more than 12 years ago.

- This is a driving show.

We can't have a driver with a

record. I'm sorry, Clarence.

You're a very talented young man

and I wish you the world of luck.

Good luck in your future endeavors.

- Any reason why you were quiet

as a church mouse right now?

- You want me to be

honest? I was mortified.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

- 'cause it was 12 years

ago, a minor misdemeanor.

I had one too many beers one night.

Literally, I didn't even

blow the state minimum.

- This is a driving show.

It's not about how many

beers you had or didn't have.

So stop. I gotta go.

Good luck to you, Clarence.

- Wait, you're dumping me.

Are you f*cking serious?

Are you serious?

You're the worst agent ever. You suck.

- Yo. Yo, what's up? Yo,

what's up Chloe? Wanna beer?

Sure. Alright, here you go, darling.

You know Henry's floating around

here looking for the rent.

- I ain't got it.

- What do you mean? Didn't they pay you?

- Something like that.

- Oh, come on. What the f*ck?

- Oh boy.

You lived here 10 years.

I tell you all the time.

No glass bottles on the roof.

We're just unwinding

with a couple of beers.

Chill out.

- So what'd you do

to the apartment downstairs?

- What do you even doing downstairs in the

apartment? We're up here. Henry.

- If you don't come to pay me,

I have to come collect the rent.

We worked all day, Henry.

I don't care what you

gotta do to make the rent.

This is unbelievable. You put a loft in

the kitchen, Clarence.

My girlfriend threw me out

so I don't give a damn.

Listen, this is not working out.

- f*ck you, Henry. You

call yourself a landlord.

We haven't had hot water in over a year.

And we have roaches the size of ice cubes.

- You're a real wiseass. You know what?

Keep this month's rent

as a going away present.

If you're not outta here

by the end of the week,

you're gonna meet my attorney. Understood?

- I look forward.

- Great. Now I got no place to live.

- What do you want me to do?

- What do you mean?

- What do you want me to do?

- Pay the rent.

Why don't you find your

own f*cking place to live?

- What the f*ck is your problem, Clarence?

You wanna know what happened?

They rescinded their offer and

they fired him. Okay.

- What? Why?

You taking this lamp and this mirror?

- No. My parents got enough sh*t.

- What about these f*cking pictures?

- Leave 'em.

- Leave 'em.

- You want this bag?

- Nah, I'm good. I don't

want nothing from you.

- What the f*ck?

- Who keeps calling you?

- My old agent, Tim.

- What the f*ck does he want?

- The network needs their

phone back. I'll be right back.

- Yeah.

- You're the shittiest agent in New York.

You want your phone? You come get it?

Mister, can I have coffee? Would

you buy me an egg sandwich?

Hold on, Tim, what's your

name? - My name is Barry.

- Yeah. Tim, you want your phone?

Come get it from Barry on 10th Avenue.

This is better than an egg

sandwich, Barry.

- Oh my God, thank you Mister.

- Attention MTA customers.

Tickets are deactivated

prior to boarding the train.

Thank you for riding MTA

Metro North Rail Road.

- Hey you. Lemme see the

pass you showed the conductor.

I got a call that was a stolen pass.

- It's not stolen. It's my father.

- Your father rides for free, not you.

- He said I could use it in an emergency.

- Got any ID on you?

- I just moved outta the city.

I threw everything in a

bag. I don't know where it is.

- Yeah. Open container,

no ID, a stolen pass.

I'm taking you in.

- Oh my God. Are you f*cking kidding me?

- You're coming with me. Let's go.

Hands behind your back.

- Oh my God. Are you serious?

- Yeah, I'm serious.

- How long is this gonna

take? I got sh*t to do.

- Not anymore. Holiday weekend

judge isn't in until Tuesday.

You're gonna spend it with us.

- Gimme the pass.

- They're mailing it to you.

I told you to only use

that pass in an emergency.

- It was an emergency.

- 40 years old. You're

still acting like a punk.

- I'm 39.

- Oh, is this what we're doing now?

You're gonna crack wise with me.

- I'm, I'm sorry dad.

They're mailing you the pass.

They said it would be

there in two to three days.

- Look, I realize this is

shitty timing, but your mother

and I finally sold the house

and we're moving to Florida.

We're out at the end of the month.

- Congrats.

- Yeah. Not really.

I don't know where you're gonna

go or what you're gonna do,

but you can't stay with your sister.

She's got two kids of her

own to raise right now.

And don't even get me started on your mom.

She's been on my a*s about getting you

the job on the railroad.

And I don't even know if

I can do that anymore.

I've never seen her this

hurt or this embarrassed.

- I don't want that railroad

job. Okay. I am good.

- Oh, okay. Good. Problem solved.

- Welcome home, brother.

I heard what happened.

It's a tough break.

- Yeah.

- Where are your things?

- These are my things.

- That's it?

That's everything you own?

- What do you want me to

say? I've mastered poverty.

- I wouldn't be proud

of that if I were you.

He's a minimalist.

- I'm starving. Do we have

anything to eat in this house?

- I went and got cold cuts.

There's provolone and

salami in the refrigerator.

- Oh, I cannot believe

that you guys actually sold

this house.

I mean, who in their right mind

would wanna live in this sh*thole town?

Excuse me. Some of us still

live in this sh*thole of a town.

- Sorry.

- In exactly 21 days we'll be leaving

for the sunshine state of Florida.

- I thought that was Georgia.

- That's the peach state, you dope.

- What do you think, dad? You do a lot

of fishing in Florida.

Hey, I'm happy fishing right

on the Hudson River, thank you.

But down south you can

fish all year round.

- Well you stop with the resistance.

What is it with you and

your refusal to change?

- I just think that Florida

is overrated, is all.

- Yeah, but dad, have

you ever even been to

- Florida?

Yes. In the Army. And I

didn't care for it at all.

It is no place for a pale faced Irishman.

- You know your father,

who's always had problems

with change, it took him

two years to get used

to this town when we first

moved up from the city.

- So what are you gonna do for work?

- I don't know. What's

all the questions, sis?

- Just wondering if you're

gonna get a real job

- And be miserable like you?

- Don't start with me.

- I forgot to tell you

that we rented your

room for the last year.

- What? Why would you rent my room out?

- Your father and I needed the money.

She's a nice girl, but she's been sick.

And I need you to take her to the doctor's

tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM

- What's wrong with her?

They're trying to figure that out.

But all she does is stay up in her room

and she can't even get

past the back fence.

Feel bad for her.

- Yeah. Doctors have diagnosed

her with agoraphobia.

- So why don't you help her?

- Seriously?

So where am I gonna sleep?

- Don't look at me.

- Yeah, I couldn't really ask you

- On the couch.

- It's only three weeks. And

let me tell you something, Mister.

You are going to have a

full-time job with the railroad

before we leave.

We have things to do. See you at dinner.

- Play nice, you two.

- Forgot to tell you Lwas asking about you.

- Really? I missed that guy.

You know I've known him longer

than anybody on the planet.

The exception of you.

Right? Where'd you see him?

- His son and your nephew

play on the same baseball

team that he coaches.

- So he's still coaching.

That's good to hear.

- He also opened up a

bar on Liberty Street.

- Liberty most violently dangerous

street in New York State.

- I will have you know

that Newburgh is one

of the fastest gentrifying

towns in New York.

- First of all, why are

you talking like that?

And second of all, what?

Every hipster from Williamsburg move up.

- LT's is actually a very popular

place for railroaders after work.

- Exciting.

- If you don't believe

me, you go check it out.

- Let's go grab a pint.

- I can't.

- Why?

- It's two o'clock in the afternoon and

I don't start drinking till three.

- It's open.

- So, you're the one living in

my childhood bedroom, huh?

- Wow. Such grace. You must be Clarence.

- Yeah, just wanted to take a

look around. It's been a while.

- One year.

- Yeah. How do you know

- That's how long I've been here for?

Oh,

I found this while I was packing.

It's got something about a little league.

- Yeah, it's a scrapbook.

I'll see you around.

- Sure.

- Sometimes I wonder why the sun goes down

- You see I'm lost between space and time

- and all around...

- Who wants to go down memory lane.

- Well, would you look at this

- From minor league ball

player to bar owner?

- What can I say? My new

obsession is craft beer, brother.

- I like it.

- You ain't like it on Facebook?

- Yeah, I don't go on much.

- No worries, man. I heard

what happened. I'm sorry.

- What you gonna do?

- Your sister

told me you lost your gig

due to your DUI.

- For something that

happened 12 years ago.

Scumbags

- In all fairness, my brother

you did get behind the

wheel after drinking.

- I just got pulled over.

I didn't k*ll anyone.

- So what are we drinking?

- Anything that's gonna get

me through the next 30 days.

- Let's start with two shots.

- Let's make it three.

- That's Clarence Moran.

That's my first friend.

We took the same bus to

school since kindergarten.

We played little league together.

High school baseball too.

We both smaller and skinnier

than the other guys on the team.

So we practiced hard every day together.

Rain, snow, hell, sleet. It didn't matter.

Running sprints, hitting in the batting

cage to our hand blood.

Clarence had the sweetest glove I knew.

- Did he play minor league baseball too?

- No. But he was good

enough to play in college

where he took up an acting

class, got bitten by the bug.

Put all his energy into performing.

A year later he was at my

wedding and he moved to the city.

I started a family and here we are.

- I didn't wanna wake

you. You looked so peaceful.

Wanna grab breakfast?

- I thought you were okay to drive.

- Well, I can't drive a stick.

- Oh sh*t. What time is it?

- Hey, I'm supposed to

take you to a doctor's appointment.

- Come back tomorrow.

And if you can make it

on time, that would be great.

- I know the back roads.

I can get you there.

- I've already rescheduled

the appointment,

so let's try to get it right this time.

- Rush hour's over. It's not a problem.

- Listen Charlie,

- It's Clarence.

- What? Look, it's

already difficult for me

to leave the house to begin with.

So it's very important

that I have all the time

and preparation I need.

Okay. So I'll see you

tomorrow at 9:00 AM fine.

Try not to be hungover.

- Jesus, Clarence, you had one job.

- She rescheduled for tomorrow. It's fine.

- It's not fine. I needed

you to take care of her.

- It's not a big deal, ma.

- It is a big f*cking deal.

- Wow, do you still go to

mass on Sunday with that mouth?

- Hey, don't talk to

your mother like that.

- Oh my God. I feel like I'm 16 again.

- Well, you're sure acting like it.

- You know what? I don't

wanna babysit this girl

for the next 30 days.

I need to worry about my own life.

- Be worried about getting a job.

- I'm going back to the city.

- To do what?

The same thing over and over again.

And how did that work out for you?

- It did work out okay. I got screwed.

- You were out carousing, weren't you?

You know I'm all for catching

up with your friends

but God forbid you get popped

for a DUI while you're

driving my car.

I don't need to hear this sh*t.

- I think he's learned

his lesson, alright?

Ease up on the kid. Would you?

- Kid?

He's almost 40 years old

and he is back to sleeping on our couch.

But don't you see he's lost

all sense of perspective?

What happens if he goes

to a potential employer

and they ask him what he's been

doing for the last 15 years?

- Yeah, I get it. I'll

make some calls tomorrow

- Please. We're leaving soon.

- Yeah. Don't remind me

- What?

- Nothing. Are you finished?

- You ready?

- Yeah.

Please pull the car over.

- What is your problem?

- Just, just pull the car over.

- What the f...

- Relax, dude

- Mind your business.

- Listen. You want me to call someone?

- Call, call someone. Who?

Who are you gonna call? Nobody cares.

- It's referring to an ambulance. Okay.

You seem like they'd be going

through a crisis right now.

- No sh*t, Captain Obvious.

- It's cool. Okay. I

wasn't gonna let you do it.

- Do what?

- Jump. 'cause I don't swim.

- Jump. What the f*ck?

I was having a panic attack.

I have them all the

time. This is the first

time I left the house in a year.

- So what are you in for?

- What am I in for? This

is a doctor's office.

Your mom told me you just got outta jail.

- I didn't just get outta jail.

I was in a holding cell for

four days for doing nothing.

I just feel like having an

aversion to these places.

- Wow. I'm shocked.

- You're shocked that

doctor's offices depress me.

- No, that you used the

word aversion in a sentence.

- You're a real treat, aren't you?

- How old are you?

- 39.

- 39 and you're in a holding cell.

Wow, you're really

lighting the world on fire.

- I was in for four days.

Like I said, no big deal.

- Yeah. Well it is to most people.

- Why don't you worry about getting from

A to B without having to pop pills

before you worry about me. Okay?

- I'm still having the

night sweats, fevers,

muscle and joint pain.

My feet are numb almost 24 7.

I'm still getting rashes

every once in a while.

- Are you taking the

Xanax I prescribed you?

- Yeah. When? When the panic

attacks get really bad,

- Does it help at all?

- Not really. I, I'm

still shaky, honestly.

I don't really like taking it

'cause it makes me really tired.

- Have you been exercising all?

- Yeah. I do my steps around the yard.

But if I go beyond the fence,

I start shaking really badly

and then have a panic attack.

- Well, it sounds like to me you're

suffering from a agoraphobia.

- Yeah. A year ago when I

tested positive for Lyme,

you said I had two bands.

- Ms. Fall, you did not

test positive for Lyme.

- But it was, I was

only treated for a week

and I feel like maybe it could have

been a little bit longer.

- You don't have Lyme disease Ms. Fall.

How many times do I have

to stress that to you?

Listen to what I'm telling you.

All those symptoms add up to agoraphobia.

Allow me to do my job and

let me refer you to a psychiatrist.

I know one who specializes in agoraphobia,

obsessive compulsive disorders,

borderline personality

disorders, things of that nature.

- I don't need a psychiatrist.

- Ms. Fall, you've contacted

every doctor in the area asking

them to treat you for a

disease you do not have.

Sitting in a home locked in the house

a pretty girl like you?

Rather than surfing the internet trying

to diagnose yourself

maybe you should think

about getting a dog.

- Hmm.

- Excuse me, Ms. Fall. Your copay.

- My copay?

- Your copay for the doctor's visit today.

- You can tell the doctor

that I'm using my copay to buy a puppy.

- I don't know guys. What if

the railroad sees my record?

- Gonna have to go down to the courthouse

and have your record expunged

- For something I did 12

years ago. Unreal.

- It's a great job, Clarence.

If they hire you now you can retire at 65.

- Dad, I've called in every

favor possible at 347 Madison

just to get this guy hired.

- Fine. Here's my resume.

- This is an acting resume, Clarence.

What are you

gonna do when they ask you

what you've been doing

for the last 15 years?

- I'm gonna tell them the

truth that I busted my a*s

for something I am passionate

about and succeeded

and it was ripped away from me.

- You are always playing

the victim, aren't you?

- What is your problem, Deb?

You know what you wouldn't understand.

You've never been passionate

about anything.

- You know what, Big Brother,

passion doesn't pay the bills.

Have I ever asked you for anything?

My dream doesn't affect you.

- No. Your dream is

driving everyone crazy.

- Yeah, okay. So what are

you gonna do if you don't get

the railroad job?

- I don't know. I haven't

figured it out yet.

- I'll get it.

- We are running out of time, Clarence.

- Okay. Good news.

The strings that Deb and I

pulled got you an interview

with the MTA this week.

- Terrific.

- You are so ungrateful.

You can read and go to

auditions all on your days off.

- Yeah. Maybe at 25, but not 40, 39.

- You should be happy Clar.

Not everybody gets to

work for the railroad.

- Yeah, I think on the bright side,

they probably don't even

want you with your DWAI.

- You know, I wasn't gonna go there,

but I know exactly why Tom's leaving you.

f*ck...

- Hey!

Enough. Jesus.

- How did it go today

at the doctor with Wild?

- Oh mom, it went amazing.

- You're not ready. The job fair is today.

Only you're gonna blow it.

- I can't.

- This is the second year in

a row that I've signed you up.

You promised you'd go with me.

- I'm sorry.

- I thought you wanted

to be a flight attendant.

American Airlines, United, JetBlue,

they're all at this job fair.

Just waiting to hire you.

I thought you wanted

to see the world.

- I do.

- Well, you can't do it

sitting in the house all day.

- I know. I tried. I got dressed.

I, I can't. I can't leave.

What do you want me to say, Ava?

Right? Just leave me alone please.

- You've got two weeks before

you have to move out of here.

You're my sister, Wild. I love

you. Please get some help.

- I'm trying.

- What are you gonna do

when we pack the TV up?

Lay on the couch and

stare at the wall all day.

- There's nothing else

to do around these parts.

- Let's go. Get dressed. Get up!

Go, go, go.

You're gonna love this.

Ouch, $200. I can't afford that.

- Mom, you don't have to buy me

a suit. Okay? I have a suit already.

You can't wear that

suit to a job interview.

You've gotta look presentable.

We need to get you all

polished and new.

- Dottie Ann?

- Hi, Laura!

- I heard you sold your house

and you're moving down south.

- The rumors are all true. We leave soon.

- Congratulations.

- Oh, this is my son Clarence.

- How you doing?

- Oh, I

remember when you were just a kid.

Ooh. He used

to come work in the mail

room when we were in

college, right?

Oh, are you the son? I just

read about in the local paper.

You just became a host of a big game show.

- Yeah, that's me.

- Oh, congratulations.

- Thanks.

- What are you doing in Newburgh?

- I'm, I'm getting a suit.

Game show's not happening.

- I'm sorry. What happened?

- Well, in a nutshell,

a few years ago I had one too many beers

and I tried to get in

my car and drive home

and I got pulled over by a state trooper.

I guess I was swerving.

Gave me a D-W-A-I Driving

While Ability Impaired.

So, because the game

show requires me to drive

after a background check, they fired me.

But on a good note, Metro

North, they'll have me.

They don't care how many beers I drink.

So in the near future,

if you're on the train,

I might be the guy that's

punching your ticket.

- You know you have some nerve.

I spent money I don't

have in there on a $200 suit.

- Mom, I'm gonna wear the suit.

- You know, your father and I are doing

everything we can to help you.

- I don't need help.

- Yes you do.

- Do I have something pinned to my back

that makes you think I need help?

Why don't you believe in me?

- Of course, I believe in

you. But first I want you

to be financially stable.

- What about happiness?

- Of course that too.

But first a job.

- Hi Ms. Fall.

Dr. Smith referred me to you

and it says that you are

experiencing symptoms

of agoraphobia for a year now.

- Right? - And now you went

see Dr. Smith a year ago.

You had no problem leaving the house then.

- Nope.

- Right.

So why don't you tell me about

a day in the life of Wild.

- What do you wanna know?

- Why don't we

start with when you wake up.

- Okay. I wake up after

a night of insomnia.

I pee. I brush my teeth.

I take all my health

supplements, but not my Xanax

because I'm gonna do it

without good old Xanax.

Today I look at my to-do list.

I hop in the shower, try to visualize

as the day ahead of me.

- This is great. You're doing a great job.

Continue with that.

- Get out of the shower.

Do my hair, makeup,

and then I go outside

and my hands start shaking uncontrollably

and my heart rate increases

and I feel like I'm gonna die

or go crazy.

And then I go back inside

and well, sometimes my sister

comes over and yells at me.

- Alright, well, my

two questions, Wild.

The first one is your to-Do list.

What? What does that consist of?

- Get a job, participate in society.

Maybe meet a boy. Normal stuff.

What's your second question?

- Oh, now, well, when you

walk back into your house,

does the, the sweating,

the racing heart that,

does that go away?

- Yeah, for the most part.

- So your house has become

a safe space?

- Yeah, I guess.

- Alright, well then why don't we do this?

How would you feel about me coming to you

for our next appointment?

- Yeah, I guess.

- Oh, fantastic.

That'd be, I think that'd be great.

- Clarence has some good news.

- Oh yeah.

- I got an interview

- And you're gonna be great.

Now remember, don't talk about acting.

Talk about how excited you are to work

for the MTA that it's in your blood.

- So, Wild, have you spoken

to your sister about when you move out?

- No, I haven't yet.

- Why don't you call the new homeowners

and see if they'd be willing

to rent the room back to you?

- Can you stay with Ava for a while?

- No. I don't really see

that happening, to be honest with you.

- Hmm.

- How did it go today

with the psychiatrist?

- Okay. I guess.

- Hey.

- What's little man?

- So I heard you may have got on the road.

- Yeah, I got an interview.

- How you feel about that?

- I gotta do something. Plus

I make the folks happy.

- So I guess I see you at the daily

railroad happy hour at the bar.

- That's the place to be if

you're a railroader. Right?

- Listen, me and little man here,

he had his last game a couple weeks ago

and it didn't fare well.

I mean, zero for four, three strike outs.

- Ouch.

- We had a couple on the base.

Anyway, I was wondering if any

way possible I could show him

the wall of the fort, for a little

inspiration. You know?

- Absolutely.

- See little man, me

and Clar came with this

years ago. What do that say?

- If you work hard enough,

you can achieve anything you want.

- That's right, my boy. Ain't

that's right, Clar?

- Yep.

- Little man, meet me at the car.

I'll be right out there.

- Okay.

- So what is your problem?

- What do you mean?

- Thanks for sounding so convincing.

- I was just being honest. - Wow.

- You want me to be really honest.

I think the two of us are

living proof that no matter

how hard you work, you can't

accomplish what you wanna be.

- You don't really believe that, do you?

- Concentration confidence, never give up.

But here I am, stopped dead

in my tracks. No pun intended.

- How many siblings do you have?

- Just the one. We have different dads.

- Well, why don't you tell me a little

bit about your parents.

- Well, my mom was a great woman.

She would believe me if she was here.

She used to teach prisoners

on death row how to read.

And that's where she met my dad.

I never met him, but they

fell in love and had me.

- Do you mind if I ask what your father

was on death row for?

- Does it matter? I mean,

what's anyone ever on death row for?

- Just trying to get a feel

for your family history. That's all.

- Yeah, I never asked.

Besides, what does that

have to do with anything

that's going on right now?

Why don't you get a feel for what happened

to me a year ago when all this

started happening?

- Why don't you just

let me try to do my job?

Okay?

- Hey, I need you to

pick this up for Wild.

- What is it?

- It's called a Rife machine.

It's supposed to help her.

- Oh no, no. This is way

up in the mountains.

- So? You busy?

- She's not coming with

me. Nobody's jumping off a

bridge on my watch.

- You're a piece of work, you know that?

I love you, but sometimes

I just don't like you.

- Alright dad, gimme the keys.

- Get some gas.

- This is the Rife machine.

- That's nice. What does it do?

- Well, first you plug it in,

then you'll look at the

pamphlet I'm gonna give you

and you search for the

frequency that you need.

Let's say in your case, uuhhh... Lyme

Lyme... Lyme...

All the time. About to lose

my mind to make a dime.

Ah, yep. Frequency 4 0 8.

Then you set the frequency.

Flip the switch, and

you sit in front of it.

- That's it.

- Oh this.

This machine helped thousands

of people with Lyme disease,

psychosomatic illnesses,

chronic fatigue syndrome,

- Diseases that have no cure.

- Well, big pharma won't

bother with anything

that doesn't bring in money.

All you need is what God

provides for us here on Earth.

Let me ask you, do you know anyone

that this machine has actually helped?

- Yes.

Me!

- Okay.

- Well I just gave Dan $300

so I guess that's Ramen

for the rest of the month.

- Did you actually give

that guy money for this box?

- Rife technology's proven to work.

- Yeah. Maybe if Dr. Rife builds it.

Not some guy named Dan who

has his own barnyard lab.

- What do you know?

There's people in my online support group

that have used this and say that it helps.

- I highly doubt it.

- Why is that?

- I don't know. Maybe because

the FDA hasn't approved it.

- If you waited around for

the FDA to approve everything,

you'd be waiting forever.

- You could be doing yourself more

harm than good with this thing.

- You know what?

I don't have to listen to you. Go away.

- Hey, you got a frequency on there

for acting gigs? I sure could use one.

- You know what? f*ck

you. You're a grown man

that lives at home with his parents,

so you're really not one to judge.

- Yeah, you got that right?

- Yeah, I do.

You don't think I hear

your parents talking?

You got knocked down once and

you can't get up. So now what?

I'm just gonna give up

and get a nine to five.

- Good luck with your box.

- Today I thought we would try some

cognitive behavioral therapy

instead of just talk therapy.

- What's the difference?

- Well, CBT focuses on changing

cognitive distortions.

For instance, in your case now,

you can't leave your house

without having a panic attack.

Now, CBT will give you the tools to deal

with the symptoms instead

of self-medicating.

- And what if the reason

for my panic attacks is an

underlying physical

health issue? Not mental.

- Well, any underlying physical

health issue would have

to be resolved or you'd have a struggle

but that's not the case with you.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Alright, well let's begin.

Now come on, Wild,

you're not in any danger,

this is all psychosomatic.

These feelings you have aren't real.

- I don't feel any danger.

That's what I've been trying to tell you.

- Okay, well then what do you feel?

- It's hard to explain.

It's like, it's like my

central nervous system is shutting down.

- But that's nonsense.

Those are not real feelings.

- Yes, they are.

- Listen, Wild. I need

you to work with me.

- No. You listen to me. One year ago

I was in those woods. I

pulled a tick off of me.

And then that night I ran

a fever. I was sweating.

And I still have those

symptoms today amongst others.

- And you were treated for it.

Lyme is not the issue here.

- I was treated for a week.

It wasn't long enough.

- I'm here to help you

with your mental health.

We need to focus on your agoraphobia

so you can get back out in the world.

Now.

Please.

- Hey,

- What's up man?

- What are you doing?

- You know.

- My god. Good to see you.

- You too, man. So this

where you're spending all your time now?

- Yeah. I mean I'm, I'm

waiting to get on the railroad.

- I heard, man, that's great news.

- What are you doing up here?

- Well, not too much, man.

You know, checking up on you

since you got us thrown

outta the apartment.

I'm just kidding, man. It's

actually a blessing in disguise.

Made up with my girlfriend,

things have been going really good

and we're getting married.

- What?

- And I'd like you to be my best man.

- I'd love to be your best

man. Congratulations.

God, that's the greatest news I've heard.

- Thank you.

- Craig. Are you kidding?

Tara? Can I see this?

- Yo. What are you doing?

That's my favorite game show.

- Yeah, we don't watch that here.

- What, you got a f*cking

problem, m*therf*cker?

- So you're still on this sh*t, huh?

You're still f*cking on this.

- I don't wanna hear it, okay.

- No, you're going to hear

it, Clarence. - Not now.

- Now is the perfect time.

- Get the f*ck away from me.

- Clarence, do you think

this isn't rough on me?

Do you think that I still

don't want to be in it?

- It's different. - How is it

different, Clarence?

- 'cause I just watched it on television.

Okay? And I saw the m*therf*cker up there,

and that's not me, but

it's supposed to be me.

And they took it away from

me for one little mistake.

- Clarence, you got a good job.

Now you're gonna be

working on the railroad.

It's steady work.

Let it go.

- Don't tell me how to live my life.

Two months ago we sat in the rooftop

and you were like, I'm a f*cking dime

winner at Times Square.

And you were quitting.

- Clarence.

- What the f*ck? You're different now.

- Clarence.

I f*cking bought a lotto ticket and I won.

And they came and took

it away from me. Okay?

I f*cking am that guy. I am that guy.

- What the f*ck is wrong

with you, Clarence?

- You told me. Hey, don't

give up. Don't give up. Don't give up.

- It doesn't matter.

- It does matter, man.

- No it doesn't.

Look at your life Clarence. Look

what you're turning into.

You're 39 years old, man.

You're still f*cking

getting into bar fights.

Look at you, man.

- Look at you. You going somewhere?

- I'm not going anywhere.

What happened to your eye?

- Nothing.

So what are you doing?

- I get dressed up. I tell

myself I'm going to go. I can go.

- Go Where?

- The movies.

They're playing my favorite

movie at this art house

theater in Jersey.

- What movie?

- Boeing Boeing.

- Never heard of it.

- With Jerry Lewis and Tony Curtis.

- What's it about?

- Flight attendants.

- Whoa. You okay?

- Yeah. Yeah.

My foot's been going numb. Okay.

And my, then my knee gives out.

- Yeah, I got you. Okay?

- Time to dust off the old crutches again.

Could you go grab that

package for me please?

- Yeah, sure. - Thanks.

- I have all these floaters in my eyes.

Would you mind reading it please? - Sure.

Colloidal silver.

In some recent studies,

colloidal silver has been more

effective than traditional

antibiotics. Suggested use

as a dietary supplement.

- Okay, does it say

anything about treating Lyme

or autoimmune diseases? Or

- You gotta be kidding me.

Still Lyme or have we moved

on to fibromyalgia?

- Do you have anything better to do than

to come over here and start trouble?

- No. What's next? Ivermectin.

Or, hey, I know a guy who

let a bunch of bees sting him

and it cured his gout.

- Maybe I'll try that next.

- Clarence, what do you

think about all this?

- I'm not sure if bees are the answer.

- You know what? I don't care

what either of you think.

- What are you taking now?

I saw this stuff on tv.

It turned the guy as blue as

a smurf. You can't take this.

What's wrong with you?

You're not dying of cancer.

- You're right. I'm not dying

of cancer.

I'm living with an illness.

- You've been to how many doctors now?

And if you don't like what one says,

you're off and on to the next one.

I mean, what are you waiting

to hear? You are her friend.

You should be telling her the truth.

- You're her sister. A little harsh.

- You know what? I'd like

you to leave this house.

- Yeah. Well

what little money our

mother has left you is

gonna run out soon.

- I don't think bus are the answer.

- I don't.

- I'm just so sick of people judging me

not being believed.

- I believe you.

- No you don't.

- Yes I do. I just don't believe in all

the treatments that you're trying.

But you're desperate. I get it.

- I was on my way to becoming

a flight attendant and bam.

Fever, rash, fatigue. Summertime.

Then I was diagnosed with Lyme disease.

And then the agoraphobia.

Do I believe the doctors when they say

that I have agoraphobia?

Yeah, I do. But I know my body

and I believe that it's a result

of unchecked Lyme disease.

I've been sick a year and

it feels like a lifetime.

I just, people can't see

what's happening inside of me.

And I know me and I'm breaking down.

I can feel it.

I've been coming out here

a lot over the past year.

- Oh, no wonder you got Lyme disease.

- You wanna push me?

- As nice as that felt. I

don't know if it's right.

- Well, I think it is.

And what I say goes, Mister.

- Can I ask you a question?

If you promise not to get mad?

- Well if I don't know

what it is, how can I tell?

- Your dad being on death row?

I mean, you didn't know

his health history.

- Yeah. I've thought about it.

Do I have mental illness?

- I don't think you do.

- Yeah, well, I'm

starting to doubt myself.

- I am sorry about the other night.

- Listen brother, forget

about the other night.

I need you to concentrate on you.

- That's pretty heated, man.

It's pretty embarrassing.

- Yeah. Ain't nothing a

couple shots can't fix.

- Well you better make 'em stiff.

- What other way is there?

- Do you remember West

Point baseball camp?

- Do I? Your parents dropped

us off. Mine scooped us up.

- You remember that pact we kept?

- We'll forget about girls and beer

practice harder than anyone we knew.

And us two skinny kids

we were gonna make that high school team.

You know, sometimes I

regret missing outta high

school and college parties.

It feels like I sacrificed

it all for nothing.

- You played minor league baseball.

- I played one spring.

Sometimes I wish I had another shot.

- Would you do it different?

- Quality of practice over quantity.

But I don't regret a day. Nah, I don't.

See in sports you have a very short

window to make it happen.

Acting you got more time.

- I gotta bounce.

Nothing.

- Always so damn impatient, huh?

- What's making me me

impatient is waiting here

for you to tell me why you

invited me crabbing here

today when you and mom

are leaving tomorrow.

- The water is therapeutic.

- Oh dad.

- You know, son, it kills me

to see you in this much pain.

- I don't wanna talk about it, dad.

- I know you don't. I

also know you don't want

to hire onto the railroad.

You've made that abundantly clear.

We just want to know that you are okay.

- You don't have to worry about me.

- Well, apparently we do.

Since you've been back.

It's nothing but anger

and bitterness and finger pointing.

And I'm trying to

understand, son. I really am.

But it comes time when

Clarence Moran's gotta face

his responsibility.

Neither I nor your mom,

nor anybody else in this town

made you get in that car.

You did. And until you own that,

nothing is gonna happen for you.

Career wise, relationship wise, dreams.

What do you know about dreams?

We were still living in the Bronx

when your mom was

pregnant with Debra.

She wanted out of the city.

She wanted the house in the suburbs,

backyard, the whole sh*t.

That was her dream. And so we did.

My dream was to become a

New York City firefighter.

- What happened?

- I was on the

railroad job for about a year.

When I finally got the call from the FDNY,

I was getting my shot.

So I went down for the interview.

But I realized that in that

moment I wasn't cut out for it.

- I thought you just said

that your dream was

to get on the FDNY.

- It was, but I had to

be honest with myself.

I didn't have the courage to

run into a burning building

to save anyone.

And I had to come to grips with

that. And I'm okay with it.

But take a look at your reflection, kid.

If you feel that you are

not cut out for the job,

I will respect that.

I mean, you've always had the

heart of an artist anyway.

Ever since you were a little kid.

I just hope you can get

back in touch with that.

You know, fish heads are

the better bait for that, right?

- Dad. The crabs in this river,

they'll feast on anything.

And why are you doing that?

We could have just got a bag

of ice at the gas station.

- Hey, I am not paying no

$4 for no bag of ice. Okay?

Nothing.

- So your John's son,

huh?

- Yes.

- Yeah, your dad, he did

a lot of time on the road.

You know he's very well respected here.

- 35 years.

- 35 years.

You know, we have a

nickname for him. Yeah.

We call him the d*ck Clark of

the railroad. You know why?

'cause he's never aged. - Right?

- And we've always asked him his trick,

but he would never tell us

what kind of soap that he uses.

- You know, your voice sounds so familiar,

but I can't place your face. Well

- You grew up outside of the

city in the Hudson Valley.

- That's right.

- Yeah. Well I used to work

at a morning show at a Poughkeepsie

local radio station.

I was there for years.

- Ah, yes, I remember. You were fantastic.

- Thank you. You have a good memory.

- So you were working the radio while

you were working on the railroad?

- I worked the graveyard

shift for a spell.

- Yeah.

- You know, I worked at night

and I thought I could work here

and get up, take care of my kids.

But it just didn't work like that.

I was doing my dream a disservice.

And you know that when

something is worth going for,

you really have to give

it 100% of of one's time.

- Yeah. - Yeah. Listen,

I might sound like I'm

making excuses and maybe I am.

but playing it safe. It's

one hell of a drug.

- I get it.

- You know that. So are you ready?

You're here so I can interview.

You wanna get started?

- You know, I really appreciate everything

you just said about my father.

- Yeah. - And he loved

working for the railroad.

I mean, every night he would come home

and he would tell me all his stories about

what happened on his train.

But those were his stories. Right.

And I just realized that

I'm not done telling my own.

So if I took this position,

I would not only be doing

the railroad a disservice,

but I'd be doing myself a disservice.

So thank you for your time.

Hello Ms. Fall.

- What is all this?

- There is a six 30 reservation in your

name for screening of Boeing. Boeing.

- I... this is really nice, but

I have an an appointment

with Dr. Williams.

- Dr. Williams can wait. You

got popcorn coming? Some soda.

Here we go. You said you

wanted to come to the movies?

- Yeah, I just, I really

don't feel that great. It's a

- It's a panic attack. We got this.

- I don't usually have them at home.

You smell that?

What's that smell?

- Smell? I don't smell anything.

- Is my neck swollen?

I feel like my neck's swollen.

- Your neck looks fine. Are you okay?

- I feel like my face is all tingly.

- Hey, you okay? Wild. Wild.

Yo. Wild, stay with me.

Hey, is it okay if I ride down with her?

'cause she gets like

these panic attacks.

- Are you her husband?

- No I'm not.

- Then you're gonna have

to meet us at St. Luke's.

- Okay.

- Is everything all right?

I have an appointment with Wild.

- Well, you better do

it down at St. Luke's.

They think she had a seizure.

- Is that right?

- You act surprised.

- Excuse me?

- You know, I have a huge ego myself

and it's gotten me in a lot of trouble

but you'd think a professional

like yourself

a doctor nonetheless would've listened

to his patient just a little bit more.

- I have no idea what...?

- You have no idea what was wrong

with her and you kept

pushing the agoraphobia.

You're a doctor, not God.

Hi, I'm here to see Wild Fall.

- Can I get your name?

- Clarence Moran.

- I'm sorry. She's not

seeing any visitors today.

- Okay. Is there any chance

you can get these flowers to her?

- I can do that.

- I appreciate it.

- Have you heard how Wild is doing?

- Nothing. She won't even see me

- Sometimes when people are ill

they just wanna be left alone.

- Yeah. You know, like a cat.

- I get it, I just hope she's okay.

- I mean, she's at St.

Luke's, it's a good hospital.

- That's where you were born.

- So I guess you guys are

official snowbirds, huh?

- Yeah, soon will be. Come on Dot,

we got a long haul. Let's

get on the road.

- You're doing it all in one shot?

- No, we will not be. We

are staying at a hotel.

- Oh my god. We will be fine, Dot.

- Have you checked the mirrors?

How about the side view mirrors? Can you

see outta the side view mirrors?

- See what I'll have to go

through all the way down I-95?

The mirrors are fine. Goodness. Come on.

- Clar, come here.

Make sure you come

and see us for Christmas.

Remember, you have to be out of the house

by nine o'clock tomorrow

morning.

I am so proud of you.

- I know you are, Mom.

- I love you, baby.

- I love you.

Dad, have a safe trip.

- k*ll me now.

Get in. - If you didn't

get such a tall damn truck.

Jesus Mary and Joseph

- Clarence.

- Hey Ava.

- How's she doing?

- I don't know. I dropped

some flowers off earlier,

but I'm pretty sure she refused to see me.

- Yeah, she does that.

She pushed me away too.

It's never gotten to this point though.

I'm thinking maybe I was wrong.

That maybe this is real.

- Yeah, I think so.

Hey, listen, if you get

a chance to see her,

would you give her my best?

- Will do.

- Thanks.

- I see your folks sold the house.

- Yeah, this is it. I'm out today.

- Good luck, Clarence. Thank you.

Thanks for being there

for believing in Wild.

- Come on brother.

It's time for the next phase of your life.

You can stay on my couch til

you get back on your feet.

- I'm an actor. I could be 10 years,

- Could be 20.

Come on, you'll be all right.

- Oh, Clarence, have a

seat. Nice suit.

- Thank you.

- So you're looking for

representation. That's

- Right.

- So what happened with the Cash Cab job?

- I was fired. It was my fault.

- That must have hurt.

- At first it did, but I put it behind me.

- I read your screenplay that you sent me.

- And?

- I couldn't put it down.

I read it all in one shot

even with my kids making a racket.

- That is great.

- So if I take you on what

are your expectations of me?

- I just need you to

get me out there again.

I'll do the rest.

- What are you working on now?

- Well, I'm gonna turn

that screenplay that you just

read One Wild Fall into an

independent film, and I'd like

to start auditioning again.

- I have one part I could send you out on

but it might be too small for your liking.

It's not too small. Send me out.

- We are gonna be

discharging you tomorrow.

How do you feel about that?

- Anxious but excited.

- You've responded remarkably

well to these treatments

the last two months. The

lesions on your brain have

completely disappeared.

- So no more seizures.

- Well, fingers crossed. But

yes, that should be the case.

And your hormones are balanced out.

You have a fully functioning thyroid.

So hopefully there will be

no more agoraphobia either.

- I was really starting to believe

that it was all in my head.

- Lyme untreated becomes neurological.

You know, it invades the

central nervous system.

So it sort of was.

- Well, I really am starting

to feel much better.

- I'm glad. Look, I'm

gonna promise you something

and I'll tell you what it is, but it's

based on one condition.

Okay? I've been a medical

doctor for over 31 years

and I've pretty much seen everything.

But the one thing I learned,

and I didn't learn this in med school

is that each case is utterly individual.

So I promise you that I

will leave no stone unturned

until we get to the bottom

of these health issues.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

I'm gonna continue to monitor

your blood levels while we

treat the symptoms of Lyme.

But here's what I need from you. Ready?

- Yeah. - I need you to

start living your life again.

You've been stagnant for over a year.

You can learn how to live

while we're still treating

this stubborn illness.

- I think I can do that.

- I'm gonna continue with the traditional

and the alternative therapies.

We'll be monitoring your

diet hopefully someday

with all this research we'll

have an FDA approved cure

for neurological Lyme.

But until then there's no magic b*llet.

It took you a year to get sick.

Just give yourself time

to get better. Okay?

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

- Got it.

- Hey

- Clarence?

What the hell happened to you?

- I wanted to come by and apologize.

For just taking off out of the blue.

- Yeah, well, I texted you

to come over for dinner.

Some homeless guy named Barry turns up.

- I didn't know how to deal

with what I was going through.

- I'm sorry.

- Well, it's good to see you.

So are you back in the city?

- Yeah, I'm staying on Craig

and his fiance's couch.

And I'm gonna make this little

movie that I wrote.

- I'm happy for you.

- You still get off at eight?

Maybe grab a cup of coffee or something.

- I'd like that.

- Me too.

- Hey Clarence.

Don't be a stranger.

- You know you need the rights

to use my name like that.

- Wild.

- What are you doing in the city?

- Just on my way to the airport.

- You healthy?

- On my way.

I mean, I might take a few

souvenirs from all this,

but I'm stronger and capable

and I'm ready to live my life again.

Don't even need Xanax to leave the house.

- That's fantastic. Lyme disease?

- We know our bodies

better than anyone else.

- You got time for a coffee?

- I do.

- So here you are. All

the way to the airport.

- You really didn't have to do that

but before I know it I'll be in Dallas.

- Barbie Basic training.

- Correct.

- And you'll have your wings.

- Yeah. How do you know

so much about this flight attendant stuff?

- I asked your sister one

or two things, you know,

after you refused to see me.

- Sorry about that. Just didn't want you

to see me so scared.

- I understand. So is Dallas gonna be

where you're at full time or,

- Yeah, I'm gonna get an apartment

and that'll be my home base for now.

- That's great.

- If you're ever in

Texas, you should hit me up.

You look pretty good in a cowboy hat.

- Unbelievable. Just two months

ago you couldn't leave the

backyard and now you're

going all the way to Texas.

- Thank you, Clarence.

- Yeah.

- Hey Clarence, f*ck the past.

- Hey ma.

- Clarence Edward Moran.

Now what're you gonna do?

The real world won't take you back.

I cannot believe you didn't take that job

after everything your father

and sister did for you.

You trying to k*ll me?

- Yo. Where you going?

- I got an audition.

- Don't forget, tomorrow

night's the wedding rehearsal.

- How could I forget? Still

can't believe you're gettin married.

- You've got to sometimes, eh?

Hey, listen, you could stay here on my

couch for as long as you need.

- I appreciate that, Craig. I'm gonna need

to save every single penny

trying to make this stupid movie.

- Telling your story, bro.

- One of 8 million in this city.

Hey, let me ask you, you ever

think about dusting off your

acting chops and getting back in the ring?

- No. I don't even know

who that guy is anymore.

- I'll see you at home.

- I'll see you later.

Hey Clarence

You got back up.

- Clarence.

Hey, how you doing buddy?

Hey, this is Tim, your old agent,

and I have a few things

are happening for you.

You're gonna need somebody

like me to help you out.

Give me a call. Let's make this work.

Let's get back on track. You

and me together like old times.

- Sometimes I wonder why the sun goes down

You see I'm lost between

space and time and all around

Now if you think you have enough of this

if you travel far away from

this

looking for everything you need

I always reached for the stars

now maybe they're not so far

I can't believe I got there

did you ever doubt me, I wonder

Did you think I'd be here

everybody told me I wouldn't

So many said it's so hard do

you really want this, I wonder

I've been living the dream

so long I wrote this song
