and I've worked my ass

off to get there.

How did we end up like this?!

(HEART MONITOR BEEPING)

WILSON:
Okay, so...

this is it, I guess.

When Mom died it just happened,

you know, but...

you have the chance

to leave me with something.

Couldn't you...

see that I needed you

to tell me just one time...

that you loved me?

(SOBS) Or that

you hated me, or...

something.

Something besides the problems

with your goddamn garden.

If you can hear me,

just squeeze my hand.

(VOICE BREAKING) Just...

come on, f***er!

Dad?

Something?

It's too late, isn't it?

(SOBBING)

There it is.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(LAUGHING)

You have any kids of your own?

Excuse me?

Do...

you...

have any Nios of your own?

Two. But they grown up.

Hell of a job doing what you do.

I can't imagine what it's

like working for some...

a**hole whitey f***ers

who can't even be bothered to...

raise their own family.

I got to go.

That's okay.

I got it covered.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm just...

My dad just passed on and...

It's weird, I can't even...

(STAMMERS) I never thought

I'd say "passed on."

He died.

We used to play ball.

Right out there.

If it wasn't for him, I'd

throw like a damn p*ssy.

He was a good...

man, in general, you know?

(SOBBING)

Who's that?

It's me, Wilson.

I wanted to see

if you still lived here.

Can I come in?

You want some beet juice?

F***, no!

(FLY BUZZING)

You seen Meyers lately?

Nah.

Guy's an a**hole.

Hmm.

My dad died.

Yeah.

So I'm kind of...

My old man's still alive.

Motherf***er won't die.

(SCOFFS)

He f***ing will not die.

93 years old. I'm literally

counting the seconds.

Well, I just...

I don't have any family left.

And I've known you...

since we were, what,

nine years old? Ten?

I don't have a single

person who shares

my same memories, you know?

Lucky you.

(SIGHS)

You know...

people always said that

you were kind of "difficult,"

but I don't know,

I guess that...

Who said that?

F***ing Ted Kuby?

No. No, no.

I think that...

I need to change my life

a little bit. Just...

you know, meet some

new people and...

shake things up a...

Ugh...

Excuse me.

I'm thinking to...

try dating again

a little bit, you know?

Yeah, I gave up on

women a long time ago.

You bust your f***ing ass...

and what do you get?

Empty f***ing bank account?

Getting bitched at all the time?

It's a f***ing fool's errand!

You know, Olsen,

I was thinking that maybe

we could be friends again.

But I guess...

I sort of forgot...

what a toxic soul-draining

vampire you really are.

And by the way, those

grapes have turned.

(HORNS HONKING)

MAN:
Pull over, dumb-ass!

It's my dad's car!

WOMAN:
Nice driving, a**hole!
