-if you could just...

-I... I can leave.

No, no, no.

- Go to my room.

- This is a very bad

time for us.

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

How rude!

I'd never treat

one of your friends this way.

- Look at you!

- What?

I'm begging you

to shut your mouth!

- Shut my mouth?

- Please, please...

Would you just

please go look at yourself

in the mirror?

Just look at yourself.

This morning you were fine.

What are you

talking about?

I'm fine right now.

This is your problem.

Would you just

do me a favor?

- You know what?

- What?

Call Dr. Klienman.

Why don't you call him?

I have a friend over.

Mom, I want to stop

this conversation.

- Yes, yes.

- I am stopping it!

- Yes.

- I'm zipping it!

And I'm gonna go

visit with my friend.

- Yes.

- You get a hold of yourself!

- Do that.

- F***ing freak!

Puerto Vallarta.

They have the best,

best hotels.

I love it there.

There's a Grand Miramar

resort and spa.

You can drink

right in the pool.

It's like they have

a whole bar.

Ah, f***.

The flight's too long.

It's like eight hours.

Okay, that's all right.

What about Florida?

Or hey, hey, hey.

Can you just put it down

for a second?

Costa Rica.

Just put it down for a second.

I gotta come clean

with you about something.

What?

So, I told you

about my brother, yeah?

Yeah.

I told you

about the program

he's forced to attend and

how he shouldn't be there.

Yeah.

And how everybody

involved with it doesn't know

what the f*** they're doing,

and he f***ing hates it.

Hey, Costa Rica's

only four and a half hours...

Please, could you just put it

down for two seconds.

Just listen to

what I'm saying.

Look,

something happened,

I don't know exactly what.

But one of the therapists

was abusing him,

and I guess he must have

lashed out violently,

and he really hurt the guy.

Now this guy's

gonna press charges.

My brother's been arrested.

He's being held

at Riker's Island.

Oh, my God, that's awful.

I know.

You have no idea.

I've just gotta get him

out of there

before something bad happens.

See, he could get

killed in there.

I'm just a little short

on the bail money right now.

How short?

It's like a few thousand.

Okay. That's not bad.

That's why I was just hoping

your mom's credit card

could cover the rest of it.

Oh. Um...

Look, it's just to get him

out of Riker's.

It's like a temporary loan.

You get it right back.

Any judge is

gonna dismiss this

as soon as he gets to court.

Yeah.

Okay?

What, and our trip?

We'll go after?

Seriously,

that's your response

to what I just told you?

That's your response?

Um, I mean, I'm thinking

about your brother, too.

Yo!

We gotta make
