Every Time I Die

Sam. Sam!

Hey, Sam?

Sam?

Sam?

Bad dream?

Yeah, I think so.

I can't remember.

You're okay?

I've got to run.

Wait.

Just stay.

Please?

I have to pick him up.

Have breakfast with me.

Mia.

Go and take a shower.

How about you go first and I'll make us some eggs.

Just go.

Make it a quick one.

Don't I always?

Please.

It takes you forever.

You're like a girl.

So you're staying?

Go shower.

Mia?

Mia?

- Where are we going? - They should've been here 20 minutes ago.

Like I told you, they should have been here. Why didn't they take the...

Ma'am, the paramedics are here.

Male, 28, OD'd. Call came in about 20 minutes ago.

He's a good person, I swear.

Please bring him back!

Doing what we can, ma'am.

My boy can come back!

I need to be in there! He's my...

Let's turn him over.

One, two, three.

- This one's gone. - Get the kit.

- Ma'am? - He's a good person. He's not just some junkie.

- Step back, please. - This is not him!

Can we please have the room?

You hear me,

you bring him back!

He's gone, partner.

And you're keeping me from him.

Why are you pulling me away? Stop pulling...

Clear.

Check the pulse.

Call it.

Grab the VVM.

- Dying... - Sam.

- I'm gonna call it. - One more.

Are We done here, Mr. Christ?

You know, I think it went pretty well back there.

How about you?

- Seriously? - It's like having a smoke

and brushing your teeth all at the same time.

Yeah.

Can't say it's stupid, partner.

Yeah, they saved you, Jay.

Right, the only thing between me and stupidity.

Lifesaver? Hey, buddy?

Lifesaver?

We don't actually have the same problems,

you know that. Right?

Right, of course.

I never actually wanted to die.

I tend to hold on to things that I care about.

You know, there's more ways of killing yourself

than committing suicide.

Oh!

A simple hello would do, a nice little introduction.

Happy birthday, idiot!

Hey, Sam.

Have you guys been here long?

About 40 years.

Had a rough day, so we knocked off early.

He didn't want to.

Hey, buddy, good to see ya.

Oh, thank you for coming.

Sam, you remember Mia?

No shit, soldier!

Mia was going crazy over here.

All I'm saying is you get to a stage in your life

where you pretty much know who you are

and then all that's left is to just maintain.

What does that mean?

Like level it out, keep it even.

Yeah. Well, no your... our... our minds...

Our minds are a chemical cocktail.

And as the bartenders of our own sanity,

we are in charge of mixing it up right. Right?

- Yeah, I guess. - Jay, that's some deep shit.

We're getting into that, man.

Well put.

A toast to you, Jay.

You, my man, are fucking old.

Hey, yeah!

Happy birthday.

- Fuck! - Mmm!

This one's for you, Bear.

Love this fucking song.

- Go on. - Sing it.

Oh, I love this fucking song.

Love this one. Hit it!

Hey, tomorrow, man,

you're coming with us.

I need you at that cabin.

I... I don't think that's a good idea.

Oh, get out of the meat wagon, you morbid fuck.

Come on, there's plenty of room. Maybe you could bring that...

that secret girl you've been hiding.

Tyler, should Sam come with us tomorrow?

Yeah, the more the merrier.

The more the merrier.

Keep going in circles, partner.

Happiness is right around the corner.

Inside the host insect body...

To complete its life cycle, it needs to breed,

and to do this, it has to find a source of water.

...this parasite...

Hello.

Are you there?

Sam, I can't.

Please don't call me anymore.

"I am Sara's big brother.

I declare that I will always keep her safe.

This is our home.

When Sara is feeling scared or alone, she can come here.

I will always protect her."

Let me share with you some age-old wisdom

I picked up from the couch.

You see this uh, black circle right here?

Everything that's wrong or uncertain in your life

is represented by this circle.

All of your problems combined.

And when I was down, that's all I could see, that's all I was really.

Now, black circle is never gonna change,

as big, and dark, and heavy as it is.

But this bigger circle...

That is you.

And if you can see it this way, you're gonna be okay.

Be outside.

Who'll that be?

Is that him?

- Oh hell, yeah! - Hey.

There it goes.

I knew you'd make it. Ooh, um!

- Hey, buddy. - What?

- Ready? - No, no.

Only one year closer to death.

Look at this place, huh?

Yeah, we're about to go for a swim.

Right on time.

Drop your shit, come on down to the lake,

we'll get you set up later.

- Come on in, douche! - I don't have a swim suit.

What're you worried about? The water's fuckin' awesome.

Let your junk out, live a little, man!

Get in.

Why are you here?

Jay invited me.

What'd you expect?

I expected you to keep your promise.

- I kept my promise? - You swore to me you wouldn't come.

When did I say that?

Last night, when you called,

which was another stupid thing to do.

Tyler was right outside the door, he could have heard us.

No, I mean, I didn't.

I didn't call you last night.

So who did I talk to?

- What do you mean? - Stop! Just stop!

Look, I fell for you.

Alright, that's not something that happens to me.

I've never been with anybody...

before I met you.

Never.

Do you understand?

You're my first.

I make sense when I'm with you.

Please, leave.

Why do you think you're moving downstairs.

Once again, who are you?

I'm Sam.

And how old are you?

Nine.

And what happened to your sister?

Sam!

Sam!

Sam!

Sam!

Sam!

Here.

I'm here.

Sam? For Christ, dude.

Everything okay?

No.

I don't...
