I'm Carin... with a "C."

- We need to be friends.
- [GLASSES CLINK]

What you really want
is revenge on the FBI.

You raid that money before the FBI does.

We'll do all the work for you.

[SHOUTING IN SPANISH] _

I'm gonna pick up Jacob, and
then you want to steal $ , .

We don't have a choice.

Suddenly you have a rich
grandmother I never heard of.

So?

- How much?
- $ , .

You're getting to be a very good player.

You're pretty good, too.

- [g*n COCKS]
- Ow!

- [g*nsh*t]
- Aah!

[DOOR CLOSES, LOCK CLICKS]

[LOWERED VOICE] You let all
the wrong people stay alive.

[LOWERED VOICE] I should have k*lled him...

in front of Jacob?

[SIGHS, SCOFFS]

This was a mistake.

From day one.



[LIGHTS CLICK OFF]

[DOOR UNLOCKS]

sh*t. [SIGHS]

I thought you were a bad guy.

So...

it's the middle of the night.

I guess sometimes you just
need to talk to your mom,

no matter what time it is.

So I'm your mom again?

You betrayed me.

I didn't betray you. I protected you.

At least I tried to.

Nice try.

I knew what I was doing.

We had rules.

You think making rules means
they're gonna get followed?

What magazine you read that in?

Look, I'm not...

I'm not here to...

I need to ask you for something.

Jacob should be with you.



[EXHALES]

- [CRYING]
- Don't worry.

- [SOBS]
- I barely touched his room.

[SNIFFLING]

Rob put an exercise bike in there,

but we can wheel it out, no problem.

- I keep picturing this life in my head...
- Mm-hmm.

You know, where the three
of us are this happy family,

and it just... never works.

"The three of us"?

Javier is in the car with Jacob.



So you found a loophole
for your hit man.

He's not...

Look, we all do bad things.

Mom. Mom.

It's not Javier over Jacob.

I shouldn't be with either of them.

I shouldn't be with anybody.

I'll have Rob go move the exercise bike.



- All right, come on.
- [DOG BARKS]

Come on. Get in. Get in.

Go to your mom.

Jacob, sit here. Sit down.

I want only good things for you, Jacob.

And I want you to be safe.

Especially safe.

I love you too much to let
anything bad happen to you

ever again.

I know.

So it's probably better for
me here... just childhood-wise.

Right.

JACOB: But I had fun with you.

Yeah.

I had fun with you, too.

And we'll have fun again one day.

Not tomorrow.

[VOICE BREAKING] No, not tomorrow.

[CRYING]

You'll have fun with Fred.

[CRYING, SNIFFLING]

Thanks for getting him for me.

Make sure to feed him.

I will.

Come on, Jacob.

[ SNIFFLES ]

I love you, baby.

I know.

I love you, too.

Where's Christian?

He's taking a night class
at The Learning Annex.

I'm already considering annulment.

What's wrong with you two?

- Nothing.
- [GLASS THUDS]

- Can we go?
- Pump the brakes, sweetheart.

Gotta make sure it's all there.

- It's all there. I counted it.
- Yeah, so did I.

As if I'm gonna trust Bonnie and Clyde.

Hey.

You're at home?

You alone?

[CHEWING]

[UTENSIL CLATTERING]

I forgot how good Cap'n Crunch is.

Uh, she also has, uh...

Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

[UTENSIL CLATTERS]

Why do you keep looking at your laptop?

I'm not.

Is that p*rn?

[SCOFFS]

What is this?

Is this a book? You're writing a book?

It's a short story. I'm taking a class.

This is about me.

- What? No, it's not.
- It's totally about me.

"Her hands swept over the display,

snatching up the emerald
earrings in one fluid motion,

like an eagle snatching a salmon."

- It's not a great metaphor.
- Uhh...

People don't want to think about eagles

when they're reading about me.

It's a simile, and it's not about you!

"And that's when she found
the body, skin flayed,

hanging from the ceiling
of the wine cellar."

What is this?

- What's the matter with you?
- It's a work in progress!

Lisa Dobesh is a very blah name.

Just call her Letty.

- [CUP CLATTERS]
- Why are you here?

Because I'm awesome, and I
make your life more awesome.

- Mm-hmm.
- Why are you here?

Where's Javier?

- [SIGHS]
- Where's Jacob?

[VOICE BREAKS] I took him back to my mom's.

Oh, sh*t.

[CRYING]

[FOOTSTEPS CIRCLING]

[CRYING]

It's fine. I'm better on my own.

And, yet, here you are.

[CRYING]

No, I... I was just thinking
about how much fun we had

when we robbed that hotel together.

We got caught by the FBI.

I only got caught
because you got caught.

I only got caught
because you convinced me

to rob a hotel, so...

I love you, Letty.

Mm.

I know.

Because, yes, you do bring awesomeness

into people's lives, but...

If you're feeling, I don't
know, uh, lonely right now...

maybe robbing a hotel with
your former parole officer

shouldn't be plan "A."

[SIGHS]

You used to be fun.
Marriage has changed you.

Mm-hmm. You need friends.

You're my friend.

I know, but you need
more than one friend.

Make another one!

A non-user, non-hit man,
maybe only mildly crazy friend.

Where? On Facebook?

Maybe go somewhere

where you might actually
make good decisions.

Where you won't be so...

Where's the last place you felt safe?

Maybe even settled a little?

That might be the right
place to make a friend.

Congrats on the wedding.

You got me a Mont Blanc pen?

And I didn't even know you
were trying to be a writer.

Thanks?

But, seriously, you should
change her name to Letty.

I'll think about it.

And her handbag should be
a quilted leather Chanel.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[KEYS JINGLING]

[LOCK RATTLES, DOG BARKING]

I told the owner you disappeared.

Carin.

- Hi.
- Mary Catherine put the listing back up,

and it rented out in no time.

I went out on a limb for you. Way out.

I got Michael that
interview at Cedarwood,

and then, poof, he disappeared.

I'm sorry.

Christmas got complicated.

Okay, and you couldn't have called?

Or texted me back?

I mean, we were friends.

At least, I thought we were.

I'm sorry, Carin.

Mary Catherine wanted to sell
all of your stuff on Craigslist,

but I put it in my garage
because I am a good friend.

You're right. I'm sorry.

But we went on this
trip with my mom, and...

everything got out of hand.

Emile?

Yeah.

Did he cheat on you?

Yeah.

Oh, my God. I am so sorry, honey.

Right.

Should've seen it coming.

I knew he was bad from day one.



I totally get it.

You tell yourself that
he's gonna change or...

it'll get better...

that little slut math tutor

will leave for grad school in the fall.

[CRYING]

Sorry, are you okay?

[CRIES] Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

I know what you're going through.

All too well.

Eric, as you know, is also

a colossal cheating assh*le.

[SNIFFLES] And, um...

I decided that I wasn't
gonna ignore it anymore.

- Good for you.
- Thank you.

After the camping trip, I thought

I had gotten even or...

that would be enough, but...

all it did was make me
realize that I am married

to someone that... I kind of hate, so...

I hired a lawyer, and
I filed for divorce.

Well, I hope you get everything.

Actually, I can't even
get inside my own house.

- What?
- Eric took Apple

to Liberty Mountain on
a ski trip this morning

and changed the locks on me...

when I was in sunrise yoga.

No, he can't do that.

Well, he did do that.

He's obviously in revenge mode.

I mean, locking me out of my own house?

I... I was gonna call the locksmith,

but I don't want it getting out.

Does your garage have one
of those keypad entry things?

Yeah, but I tried it,
and he changed the code.

Let's go.

[BEEPING]

[WHIRRING]

How did you know how to do that?

It's a universal code.

I spent a lot of my s losing my keys.

please be unlocked!

Now Mr. Glass just lives on the shelf.

- Because he's made of glass,

and he reminds me Samuel L. Jackson.

- [BUZZING]
- Huh. Makes sense.

Can we take your car?

Where are we going?

Pawn shop.

I k*lled Silk myself.

[SIGHS]

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

[LAUGHTER]



Oh, my God! Uncle Jav!

- Hey! Hey!
- I didn't know you were coming!

Did Mom forgive you?

I guess so. Happy birthday!

- [LAUGHS]
- Uncle Jav!

- Hey!
- Hey!

Holy sh*t, thank you for getting

- rid of that Teo guy.
- Oh, yeah.

Whatever you said to him when
Mom picked us up, it worked.

I'm glad he's not bothering you anymore.

- Wait, did you bring Letty?
- Yeah.

We need her music
expertise, like, right now.

This dumb D.J. hasn't even
heard of Run the Jewels.

Letty and I are on a break right now.

Letty was like our
-year-plan/spirit animal.

- Where's your mom?
- Over there somewhere.

Okay.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Sneak around the punch and see
if you smell any alcohol.

Yes, ma'am.

What? I'm busy.

Teo was supposed to help
me, but he disappeared.

The other night, I was playing
soccer with Letty's son.

Jacob is .

After soccer, we got into the car,

and Teo was in the back seat.

_

Now, you don't have to believe me.

Ask Teo yourself.

You can keep the change.

[INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF
"MI VIDA LOCA" PLAYING]




What's wrong with you?

You have revenge cash and alcohol.

Sorry.

This is the... entrance
song to our wedding.

It was Eric's request.

Seriously, don't worry
about Eric right now.

What if he's taking
Apple on black diamonds?

No talk of husbands or kids.

I'm sorry.

I just can't get them out of my mind.

It's, like, even if I'm
not talking about them,

I'm still thinking about them, you know?

Yeah, but remember Camping Carin?

All she wanted was molly
and some college d*ck.

Do you know where she is?

The woods?

She's at the bottom of that drink.

You're right. [CLEARS THROAT]


Let's go to "Margaritaville."

It always surprises me when
rich people love Jimmy Buffett.

It's, like, stop trying to live
this weird, blue-collar fantasy.

Just get box seats for
Springsteen already.

- Mm-hmm.
- Come on.

Tequila, please. Two more.

[GASPING BREATHS]

[SPEAKING SPANISH] _

You k*lled the father of my girls,

and then you tried to
buy them off with jewelry.

I had no choice.

You have no spine.

Okay, Javi.

Okay.

Do you need to hear

No, I'm good.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

- [CARIN BREATHING NERVOUSLY]
- Excuse me, Officer.

- Why are you arresting her?
- You know her?

She's my cousin.

I've been waiting for you at
that other bar for minutes.

[SLURRING] I wasn't... Wh-wh-what bar?!

I caught her with a gram
and a half of cocaine.

What?! No.

No, that doesn't sound like her.

Right? Exactly! That is
so not me! That's not me!

I'm sure.

It only makes sense after
the news she just got.

She has early-onset Alzheimer's.

Just like that Julianne Moore movie.

Tonight's bad choices are
the acts of a desperate woman

making some memories
before she forgets them all.

Look, I'm sure it's out of her system,

so if you just let me take
her home, officer, please?

My mother has Alzheimer's.
She's never acted out like this.

I'm so sorry.

How she's doing?

She's hanging in there.
Good care isn't cheap.



Sorry. What's going on here?

I'd put this at $ , , at least.

That's, what, maybe six months of access

to the best drug treatments out there.

I can't take a bribe.

It's not a bribe. It's a gift.

And if you accept the
gift, I'm sure Carin

would appreciate it if you
consider her emotional state,

which you of all people
should understand.



Here, use Mr. Glass's balls.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Ah! What...

[BOTH LAUGH]

At least it shattered inside your purse!

Ohh! [LAUGHING]

I wonder if I can put
it in the recycling.

Glass is glass.

I can't remember the last
time I stayed out all night.

I don't even think I
did that in college.

Great night.

[SIGHS] This is the most
fun I've had in a long time.

Thanks, Lindsey.

[WINE SLOSHES]

My name isn't Lindsey.

I'm serious.

It's Letty.

I'm not some soccer mom

who cares where her kid goes to school.

I tried to be, I wanted to be,

but I'm a shitty mom

who... probably shouldn't
even have custody.

My son is with my mom now,

and that's probably where
he should stay until he's .

And Javier... That's his real name...

He didn't cheat on me.

We're just no good together.

I suck at a lot of things people
are supposed to be good at.

But I'm pretty great at a lot of things

you're not supposed to be good at.

I was wondering a little.

Especially after the watch.

Yeah.

A move like that is
pretty typical for me.

I guess I thought I
could fake being a mom

like I fake everything else.

Last year,

Apple's principal called

because they caught her trying
to start a fire in the bathroom.

So, I got in my car, and
I drove to the school,

and then I drove right past it.

I drove all the way to Savannah.

Got a bourbon

and a toffee pudding,

and I had them while I sat on the beach.

And then...

it eventually got
dark, and I drove back.

What happened to Apple?

Oh, Eric spoke to the principal

and... donated... [SIGHS]

a volleyball net or something,

and he never mentioned it again.

Being a person isn't easy,

but being a mother and a person...

That's... hard.

We need more coke.

[LAUGHS]

I saw a dealer near that nightclub.

Are you serious?

Oh, I can't even stand up right now.

All I want to do is go to sleep.

You just said this was the
most fun you've ever had.

Yeah, but now it's over.

[HUFFS]

You can sleep in the
guest room if you want.

Thanks. I'll do that.

Don't forget all your
stuff in the garage.

Uh-huh. Whatever.

A-About what you said the other day.

I can't get it out of my head.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I mean, when I finally took a step back,

looked at the situation,
it all became clear.


My main character is
completely based on you.


I don't know why I couldn't see it.

I must've had some kind of mental block.

You're calling me
about your short story?

[VOICE FADING] You said she should have

a quilted leather Chanel bag.

Now, what other kind of
details would you add?
