Then tell me how this works.

So, you go over

the Oregon border

to some Kevorkian-style lair

and, what, bam, that's it?

I mean, what are we talking

about here, dad?

Do you even qualify for this?

He doesn't!

We don't live there anymore!

I still own property there.

What, the cabin?

No, that can't be enough.

- It's enough.

- We should have sold that place.

- It's a pain in my ass.

- It's income property!

We only rented it twice

the whole year!

And you know you're not

supposed to be eating

- ice cream this late.

- I didn't get any at dinner!

Okay, enough.

Enough. Give me this.

My doctor's taking care of it.

Who is this doctor, dad?

I need to talk to him right now.

I don't want to live here

anymore.

Who is it?! Tell me!

Katherine.

I don't want to live anymore.

I've made arrangements.

It's my life.

I just want to know

what my options are.

I made an appointment

for Tuesday.

I am going to Oregon.

- You can't block this.

- Daddy?

It's not your decision to make.

Ray...

Daddy, no, i...

I don't... I don't...

Mom? Help me here...

Sounds like he's got it

all worked out.

He's not going to be eligible.

He's not dying.

Maybe he just needs to know

what his options are,

- once and for all.

- Okay, but, you know what?

I'm not having some stranger

drive him, okay?

Well, who else

do you have in mind?

Don't even think about it.

Please just calm down.

Stop telling me

to calm down, Brian, seriously.

Okay, could you explain to me

one more time

why it has to be you

to drive him?

I don't know, maybe if my mom

could stay sober

for more than five f***ing

minutes maybe she could do it.

But she can't, so it's me.

Maybe he doesn't

want to be saved.

What are you talking about?

I'm just trying

to get some perspective.

Why would you say that?

Look, of course he does.

Do you know how many people

his age who are dead or dying

would give anything to spend

more time with their family?

- Come on.

What? What's so funny?

I'm sorry, but that

doesn't sound like ray.

Yes, hello?

Yeah, this is her mother.

W-what?

This is absolutely the last

thing I need right now!

I'm never speaking to Colt

again, isn't that enough?

Not. Even. Close.

Do you understand

how serious this is?

You sent those pictures!

You're underage!

This could have been so much

worse than a suspension!

They were private pictures!

Jesus, nothing in

high school is private.

- Give me your phone, by the way.

- No!

- Get off!

- Stop, stop, stop, stop.

You make me feel like

I'm such a freak!

- Everyone does it!

- Everyone does not do it.

And even if that was true,

it does not make it all right.

They weren't even that bad!

You could hardly see anything!
