Manic

Go ahead and turn your head a little bit.

I'm going to clean this off.

And let me just take a look at it

a little bit closer here.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to put a little bandage on that.

Does this hurt?

I'm fine.

-Got it, yo? -Yeah.

How you doing, Lyle?

I'm David Monroe. I'm the staff psychologist here.

Punk.

Did you get your ass kicked?

-No. -No?

What's that? Was it cigarettes?

You smoke out, huh?

Yeah. I've done that before.

-Angel dust? -Never.

Speed? Methamphetamine?

-Crank? 'Shrooms? -No, no, no.

So, were you high today?

-No. -Didn't get high today?

Get up.

Fuck off!

You just pissed?

You just pissed?

Kind of like how you feel right now?

It's kind of coming off of you in waves, Lyle.

Where's my mom?

Uhh!

Ok. I'll be back in a second.

What the fuck is this?

Just stay cool for a minute, Lyle, ok?

Let me explain. You committed criminal assault today.

Let me explain. You committed criminal assault today.

No, I-- that's bullshit.

What were going to do right now

is take a trip to the unit.

Now, how you get there is up to you.

I'm not fucking crazy.

I'm not saying that, but you can walk with Charlie...

Mom, what the hell?

Or they can carry you.

Mom, just tell them I'm not crazy!

That's the way it's going to go.

Mom!

-Guys... -Mom!

Come on, just relax. Come with us.

Come on, chief.

-Hey, fuck you! -Take it easy!

-Take it easy! -Hey, fuck you!

-Come on! -Fuck off!

Mom, tell them I'm not crazy!

Mom!

-Mom! -Sorry, Lyle.

don't fucking touch me! don't fucking touch me!

Mom!

Mom!

No! Get off me!

Ow!

Get off me!

No problem.

Who are you?

Kenny.

Kenny.

Everything ok?

What is that?

It's a medicine pouch my dad gave me

to protect me from evil, bad things.

How old are you?

Almost 13.

Why am I fucking shoeless?

We get them back for recreation.

And so my mom said we couldn't go downstairs,

and I said, you know,

"why not? What's the problem?"

You know? She said, "oh, well,

"you know, young ladies don't hang out on the streets

at 5:00 in the morning."

At 5:00 in the morning."

And so, I was like, "fuck that," you know?

"I'm going outside."

And so I went to go outside,

and she grabbed me. And I said,

"I want to get the fuck out of here."

And she went pfft!

And smacked me across the face.

And, you know, what, just because she's my mom

I'm not supposed to hit her back?

So...

You know, I turned around, and I went crack.

And then, you know, she threw me into the wall,

and I slammed my head and fell on the floor.

And she was just like...

Is this the first time

is this the first time

that you and your mother had a fight

where it became physical?

Yeah. That was the first time

she actually, like, hit me.

-And you hit back? -And the last time.

-And the last time? -Yeah.

Why do you say that?

Well, because I don't think

she expected me to hit her back.

You know?

I mean, an eye for an eye, right?

I mean, she had-- if somebody hit you,

you'd hit them back, right?

I have.

It hasn't always solved the problem.

All right, but, I mean,

at that moment, you're not thinking that.

At that moment, you're not thinking that.

That's what we're talking about, though, is...

In those moments,

how to, you know, apply your brain.

I mean, that's why you're here with us right now, right?

Does that sound like anything that's happened

with anybody else at their house?

It's happened with everybody.

Yeah.

You got to stand up for yourself.

You know what I'm saying?

Parents included.

Parents are the worst.

You know, I do one little thing

and the motherfucker gets mad,

and the next thing I know, I'm up in here

with you crazy motherfuckers.

You know what I'm saying? It's bullshit.

I'll knock a motherfucker out.

I don't give a fuck.

I don't give a fuck.

Bitch, I swear to god. don't look at me like that.

Why don't you lick me, dyke?

You guys. Hey, hey, Mike,

I don't want to hear that out of your mouth again.

I don't care what the excuse is, all right?

Uh...

You all know we have someone here new with us.

This is Lyle Jensen.

He's going to be here with us.

Just show him the ropes.

Let him know how we do things here.

Show him your arm.

This is bad-ass.

That shit is nasty.

- That's fucking sweet. - You like it?

It's fucking gross, yo.

It's fucking gross, yo.

Ok, ok.

Uh, Tracey...

You want to talk to us today?

I'm Tracey.

No shit, genius.

Shut the fuck up.

What is wrong with you, ok?

Ok, who wants to level drop?

Go ahead, Tracey.

I'm working on my self-esteem.

I'm working on my self-esteem.

Thank you, Tracey.

Lyle, you want to try it? Why are you here?

You want to tell us why you're here?

Lyle is working on his anger management.

I heard Lyle got in a fucked-up fight

with a baseball bat and, like, killed some kid.

Aw, hell, no.

Yeah, I heard that, too.

That's bullshit. Look at him.

What you weigh, about a buck twenty?

You had to get a baseball bat?

What, did they take your lunch money?

Mike. You want to talk about it, Lyle?

Mike. You want to talk about it, Lyle?

Big bad-ass fighting machine.

Do you know how close you are to a level drop, Mike?

You've gotten one already last week.

You want one this week, too?

Come on, Lyle.

I'll fucking kill you.

Come on. Come on, then. Get the fuck up.

- Guys. - Baby.

-Mike. -All right.

Ok. Maybe later.

Ha ha!

Pft.

Give it up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Go ahead.

What?

That's what I thought.

I'm not crazy.

I'm not crazy.

I'm not crazy. I'm--

Here, here, here.

Traveling. Give it up.

It went out.

Bullshit. Give me the ball, you little faggot punk.
