I'm okay with it.

Dad bought the tea farm.

- Yeah, I know.

I was shocked when

he first told me.

- Should we go?

- What?

- We don't need to do

everything all together.

- What about the will?

- Ben, quiet.

- People will soon be coming.

- Yeah, what do we need?

Lights? Natural lights.

you're too f***ed up.

- What?

- You're on something.

It's obvious to everyone.

- You're not making any sense.

You f***ed up?

I don't know.

- Well, I'm not comfortable

with you driving.

Just let me.

Thank you.

- [Mara] I don't need a sponsor.

I don't know if you or

Mara would want any of it.

- [Aaron] What's this?

- So, I took more than

one Xanax or Klonopin.

There are extra pills in there.

I'm just really tired.

telling you now.

down, lie down, Ben.

Just lie down.

- [Ben] I'm good.

- Ben, have a seat.
