What's my time?

4:
50.

[cheering]

Robbie, Robbie, can we

ask you a few questions?

Of course, of course.

I've got to say, you

look very pretty today.

Well, thank you, Robbie.

You have so many supporters

that came out today.

Yes I do!

I have all my

supporters here today.

[cheering]

How's everybody doing?

Robbie.

Robbie.

Robbie.

You've been such

an inspiration.

How are you feeling right now?

I feel great.

The only way I

could feel better is

if we turn around and go back,

start over, with all of you

waiting for me at the end.

Thank you, Robbie.

Thank you so much.

Robbie is an example to us all.

Brave, strong,

focused, determined.

So it gives me great

pleasure to present

him with this check for $6,548

to the Out of Sight Foundation.

Yeah!

Oh man, this thing's heavy.

Just kidding.

[applause]

OK, I have a few special

thank yous I'd like to make.

First and foremost, my mom

and dad for their support.

We love you, Rob.

I don't know what

I'd do without you.

I love you.

And perhaps most

importantly, I have just

got to thank one individual who

is next to me the whole time

I'm running down that road.

Doubts, sure, I have doubts.

But there's this voice right

next to you telling you

that you can do it.

I, of course, am

talking about...

God.

[applause]

ROBBIE:
He took my

sight away from me.

Ow.

My bad.

Who's that?

Oh, what's up GT?

Oh, Bill.

What's good, my man?

Be able to see with my heart.

You just ran 26 miles, man.

That I did.

Yeah.

Yeah, dude, marathon man.

Come on.

I bet you glad that bull

sh*t's finally over, though.

No doubt.

No doubt.

[cheering]

Yo, you wanna go

smoke some weed?

I didn't get it.

I didn't get it.

One more time.

Oh, OK.

There was a lot

of wind that way.

Can I just do it?

Ye... nah, I'd rather

you didn't, actually.

I need you...

All right, let me

know if it's lit.

You know, I mean,

just talk to me.

There, that's hot.

You good?

Yeah.

That sound good.

Yo, you want something else?

Take the edge off.

Like I got this

bomb ass Klonopin.

Have you ever hear of Klonopin?

It's crazy.

What?

There are cops here,

you gotta be careful.

We good, though, for real.

I could shoot up in

front of those dudes

and they don't care.

Bill?

Yeah, coming.

Where were you?

What?

No.

Have you been smoking pot?

I just ran a marathon.

No.

I am so proud of you

running all that way.

Jocelyn says I'm going

to make the front page.

She thinks I should

do a swim next.

What do you mean, next?

For the next fundraiser.

I think it would be cool

to swim across the lake.

But I thought we said that we

were done after this, that we

could stop after the run.

Well, kids don't stop

being blind, Bill.

I know that, I just...

You wouldn't have

to get in the water,

you just guide me from

a boat or something.

JANE:
How about right here.

Good, Robbie?

Yeah, let's do this.

OK, it's all clear ahead.

Ease out, that's it.

Good.

Just a hair to the right.

All right.

I got it.

All right, good.

There's a car about

300 yards ahead of us.

Sure, I heard it.

Is someone eating?

Yeah, I am.

OK, could you just

chill out a little bit.

Trying to focus.

You should clean your oven.

I made moussaka, your favorite.

Thanks, mom.

I'm so psyched.

You can just take

the egg plant out.

So dad, how long do

you think it would take?

Probably about 14 miles or so.

Four or five hours at least.

Yeah, we're going to have

to start training right away.

But we're in

shape from the run.

It's different.

You're going to

have to concentrate

on more upper body stuff.

It's all in the shoulders.

You got your anterior

deltoid, lateral, posterior.

Swimming's a whole

different ballgame.

I'm just going to take off.

Where to?

I'm just going

to go have a beer.

I thought we were going to

look at the video of the race.

I'll watch it later, mom.

Hey, Bill, just

don't drink too much.

We don't want you

dehydrated, OK?

OK, Robbie.

You... you stay hydrated, too.

Who do you think

you're talking to?

All right, see you guys later.

Hey, Bill.

Yeah?

Have fun.

What happened to him?

Hit by a bus.

Makes you think, doesn't it?

You gotta really

grab each day, man.

Check, check.

This one's for you, Fred.

[music playing]

Did they take him to

the hospital first?

Or was it like instant?

Uh, I'm pretty sure

it was pretty quick.

It was a bus, so...

Did he just step off

the curb without looking?

Uh, no.

Actually, get this, he was in

an argument with his girlfriend.

F***.

He was chasing after

her when it happened.

- F***.

- Yeah.

You want another drink?

Let's do it.

I killed him.

I killed the boy that died.

I had just dumped

him when it happened.

You want to know

why I dumped him?

I dumped him because he

licked his lips too much

and I didn't like how

he spoke to waiters.

And that's why he's dead now.

And that I didn't

like his nipples.

I am a judgemental c*nt.

Can't like everyone's nipples.

Sometimes I fantasize

about being disabled,

like I'm paralyzed

and people have

to push me around all the time.

And I get to watch a lot of TV.

That's really terrible.

I know.

I love TV.

Me too.

I still have use

of my fingers so I

can, like, control the remote.

We're off now, Rose.

Call us or drop by

whenever you'd like.

It would be great to see you.
