So it will be

Breakfast?

Crazy he calls me

Sure, I'm crazy

Crazy in love... You look

better without your wig.

[muted conversation]

Dude.

She said it was cool.

As long as it's not cigarettes.

Alright.

You guys okay'?

Why'?

This? Yeah, we're fine.

He didn't do this.

How are you, Gail?

How are you feeling?

Today is good.

This food is good.

Thank you.

Okay, so you guys clean up, huh?

Mm-hm.

And I'm going to have

you move the couch.

I...

I just moved the couch

like four days ago.

I'm coming down

to stay with you.

(Gail) We used to go on

vacations all the time.

I took you to Paris.

(James) I was 10. I want to

go on a vacation as an adult.

Oh, as an adult.

An adult with no money and

no job and no place to live.

What are you talking about?

I have money.

The insurance

really isn't that much.

I'm just saying

I need to get out.

I need to get out of here.

Yes, you do.

You need to grow up

and get off of my couch.

Get off of your couch'?

I've been living here

for four years taking care of you.

Four y...?

Two years.

Don't delude yourself.

And you haven't been

taking care of me.

You've been freeloading.

That is not right.

When you were really sick...

And your stem cell transplants,

and your steroids,

and your moods.

Who fought for you'?

Who ran your errands?

I'm your son and that is

what I'm supposed to do.

And I'm happy to be here

because I love you.

But I need a break.

That's all you do,

James, is take breaks.

Okay.

You have been there.

And you have been

amazing at times,

but you have got to get

your act together.

And if you don't want

to talk about Dad,

make sure you write it down.

It's not about Dad, I don't give a sh*t.

Yeah, you do.

You know what, dude,

shut up. You don't know.

Don't tell me to shut up.

Don't tell him to shut up.

Yes, you do.

And if you're not ready

to talk about it yet,

just make sure

you write down your feelings.

Write it down, that's your

only advice for everything.

Just write it down.

That's right.

Look, Nick is down in Mexico.

I am going to go visit him.

I am not going to drink.

I am not going to smoke.

I'm going to write

and I'm going to meditate

and I'm going to eat healthy

and I'm going to swim

and I'm going to work out

and I'm going to write

about all these feelings

that are welled up inside of me,

and when I get back,

I will get a place and a job.

I am going to call Ben today and I'm

going to set up an appointment,

but I need to go away.

And when I come back,

I will be ready for life.

if I Do" by Billie Holiday]

There aim? nothing

I can do

Or nothing I can say

That folks

don't criticize me
