Humboldt County Page #2

Synopsis: Peter is burned out: finishing med school at UCLA, failing the bedside manner class his father teaches, no sleep in days. He spends the night with Bogart, a woman he's just met, and the next day, sleepily gets in her car. He wakes up in Arcata, where Bogart's foster family lives in the woods: Max, his daughter, mom, and step dad. They grow marijuana for their own consumption, except for Max, who has planted six hidden patches for one big score. Bogart hates pot farming - feds are on constant patrol - so she splits, leaving Peter to depend on Max for a ride to the bus. A day stretches into two, and Peter puts off leaving. A reckoning with his dad is inevitable: is Peter's rebirth possible?

for a second.

Uh, I think that's a--

We're fine, we're fine.

You're good.

Thank you.

Should you be

smoking while we're--

Oh yeah, believe me,

I need it.

( coughs )

It's all gravy in the navy.

( laughs )

Are you ready?

For?

( car door opens )

Uh, Bogart?

Hello?

( car door closes )

Bogart?

Bogart?

( gunshot )

Oh God!

MAN:
F*** you!

Oh God.

F*** you, motherf***er!

Jack, put down

the f***ing gun!

What is going on here?

Oh, Rosie's roses were so beautiful this year.

They were just beautiful.

They were gorgeous.

And then this little cocksucker

deer--

What is it, Jack?

( twig snaps )

How many times have I told you

not to sneak up on us like that?

Now you march yourself out here

- right now, little miss!

- God damn it, Jack!

- You could have killed our--!

- Sorry, Grandpa.

I was just playing.

- Oh, Annabelle!

- ( laughter )

You are getting so big

I can't carry you.

Where's your daddy?

- Come on inside.

- Hi.

( laughing/coughing )

( both laughing )

- Earl Earl Earl!

- ( clapping )

Good to see you, buddy.

It's good to see you, man.

Yeah, been a while.

- Hey.

- Looking good.

So are you.

Good God.

( girl meowing )

( laughing )

- Hi there.

- ( growls )

Are you a kitty cat?

( hisses )

Oh, no thank you.

Thank you.

( exhales )

Putting dogs on leashes

is a goddamn shame.

Think about it--

dogs, wild animals,

( hisses )

But it isn't

just that we put

these beautiful creatures

on leashes

that really

pisses me off.

It's the completely frightening fact

that we have created an environment

where if we don't put

the dogs on the leashes

they'll walk into the street

and get killed by a car.

Two-ton slabs of metal hurtling at

high speed down a concrete path--

Those aren't supposed

to exist in nature.

They aren't natural.

Natural.

Motherfuckers.

You should try some.

It takes the city edge right off.

I'm fine.

( laughs )

Let's get you started off.

Hey, sweater vest,

you one of Bogart's strays?

- Um, yeah.

- Yes?

You know you're nothing special.

Thank you.

I'll keep that in mind.

You know, she might not

want to talk to you--

You guys, you go easy on him.

Just saying hello.

Hey, Bogey, haven't seen you in a while.

How's it going?

You're looking very Humboldt, Steve-O.

Thank you very much.

Yeah.

( giggles )

So what's been going on

with you guys?

Aw, you know, the usual sh*t.

We're fixing up the place.

We got an HDTV. It's huge.

It's f***ing monstrous.

- Listen, I--

- Oh, we're also going in together

with Max on an ATV this summer.

I'm not going in

on sh*t with you guys.

Well, you must be saving

up for something, right?

I haven't seen you

in town much, Max.
