Honey Boy

No, no, no !

And cut !

Tail mark. And marker.

All right, let's wrap up. Reset.

Fire another extinguisher over here. Need it stat !

Just back it up. Back up. Just back it up.

Stay clear, stay clear.

Hello ? I need some help.

Get the fuck off of me !

No, we're very fucked up.

Don't fucking touch me ! Don't fucking say shit !

What am I being arrested for ? What am I being arrested for ?

You think you're fucking hot shit ?

Because you don't know how good I am at what I do.

Why am I here ?

Answer the fucking question !

Answer the damn question, you fuck !

You dumb fuck !

Why am I here ?

Why am I here ?

Answer the question !

Answer the fucking question ! Why am I here ? Why am I here ?

There are no guards on the premises, Otis.

I noticed.

Since this is your third drunken altercation with the police,

if you leave, we will have to notify the judge,

and you will serve those four years.

Right.

So where do we start ?

I don't know. You tell me. I'm obviously not equipped to make any decisions.

I'm an egomaniac with an inferiority complex.

Let's try again.

How about I'm a professional schizophrenic

What do you want me to say ? I'm a piece of shit.

I want you to write an account of your memories,

so we can get you started with some imaginal exposure.

What's that ?

It's a simple way to stop avoiding trauma reminders that get you triggered.

I avoid trauma reminders ? My whole work's motivated by trauma reminders.

I'm talking about triggers that make your distress levels unmanageable

and result in violence.

Like what ?

Whatever makes you angry. That's a good place to start.

Otis, I've been doing this a long time.

I saw your tests, and you have clear signs of PTSD.

No, I don't.

From what ?

Cut !

One minute.

Thank you.

Nice pie fight, Otis.

Thanks.

You a pet person ?

- We have a dog. - Yeah ?

I had a chicken named Henrietta LaFowl. The world's first daredevil chicken.

Dad, can you loosen the back part ?

I used to know because all chickens... What ?

- Just loosen the back part. - Okay. One sec.

So I had this chicken. I used to put her on my head and I'd do these cartwheels.

She'd run from my head to my butt, over and over like that.

I spent a lot of time with chickens in the rodeo.

Dad, loosen it.

Another trick, I'd put the chicken on top of my head... Here, I found it.

And I'd run this little electrical wire down my sleeve to her,

put a KFC bucket out there, light it on fire for drama.

I'd hit that charge and Henrietta'd fly off of my head and land in that bucket.

Whole crowd ate it up. It was a big deal.

Yeah, it was good.

I once opened for Stevie Nicks. She came out to The Forum.

Fuck, Dad !

What did we say about talking like that ?

That I'm not supposed to talk like that.

That you're not supposed to talk like that.

- And you're gonna apologize to Pam. - Yes, I am.

Yeah, you are.

- I'm very sorry, Pam. - It's okay. It's all right.

Hang up your wardrobe. Thank Donna for the day.

- You had a good day otherwise. - Yes, Daddy.

Spent a lot time with chickens. In all that time, you know what I learned ?

You know what the white spot is in the center of chicken poop ?

- Do you know what that is ? - No, what is that ?

That's chicken poop also.

That's pretty good, isn't it ? Hey, you got a phone number ?

Yeah.

Can I get it from you ? Later ? Later ? Maybe tomorrow ?

- Okay. - Okay.

Have a good day.

- You on ? - Yeah.

- You good ? - Yeah.

Who you been talking to ?

Nobody.

And I told you not to wear that top.

- I told you not to wear that, didn't I ? - I didn't have anything else clean.

Rocco ! I'm in there !

Hey, give me the call sheet. Got the per diem in there.

Don't touch them, Rocco ! Those are my socks !

- You can't give it 10 more minutes ? - Five minutes.

Motherfucker. They gotta get another washer and dryer in this place.

This is turning into a nightmare.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, baby trickle.

You got one of them little Jew rivulets. Oh, shit.

Thank your mother for that. You got a dick like a golf pencil.

- It's enough to get the job done. - Yeah. "The job done."

What fucking job are you gonna get done ?

Girls.

Yeah, girls. You couldn't fuck yourself with that.

You probably done pissed on your own balls.

- You got wet balls right now ? - I'm 12.

Yeah, 12-year-old dick.

Me, when I was a 12-year-old, dick sounded just like this.

Wait for it.

You hear that ?

You hear it get to that bowl ?

Now, that's roots, buddy.

That's blood.

Where you come from.

Shit's important.

I know you don't give a fuck, poop butt.

What'd I just say ?

You don't listen, that's your problem. And you're selfish.

I just told you about your family, and you're just staring at the thing.

I see you. You're concentrating. Concentrate real hard.

Be a 12-year-old. Pie fight.

It's not a pie fight.

It's not ? What is it ? I know what. It's clowning, buddy.

- It's rodeo. - No, it's not.

- It's the same thing as clowning. - No, it's not.

How do you know ? You never been to the rodeo.

- Yeah, I have. - Don't lie.

- Who took you to rodeo ? - Tom.

- Tom took you to rodeo ? - Yeah.

Course he did. Where'd you go ?

- I don't know. It was a rodeo. - So you don't remember.

They have clowns at your rodeo ? No. You went to Pomona. That's a fair.

You went to a fair. You come see me in Muskogee, boy.

I'm talking about the rodeo, talking about lights.

Shit. Attractions. Animals. Did my own face paint, costume. Commedia dell'arte.

I made them bulls run till I broke every bone in my ass.

It's different. I'm not a clown.

It is different, you bet. It's also the same too, motherfucker.

That mother... He's in there. Hey, Rocco, didn't I just say ?

Didn't I just say ? Those are my socks !

Goddamn it. Give me the call sheet and get the bag.

This motherfucker...

Thank you !

You'll get it after !

Hey, Dad...

Six a.m. You gotta go to sleep early tonight.

Yeah. About that.

A.J. has got me tickets to the Dodgers game,

which is really cool because Nomo's pitching.

That is really cool.

And so he's gonna take me to the game.

- Who's pitching ? - After set tomorrow. Nomo.

- His name is Nomo ? - Yeah, Nomo the Tornado.

- No shit. - I'm gonna need some of that per diem.

- Hell of a name. Tornado. - For the hot dogs and stuff.

Call him Tornado, must strike them out blindfolded.

Yeah, probably.

You know what they call a Japanese blindfold ? Call that shit a shoelace.

Come on, that shit is funny. You know it is. Come on, now.

- Dad, just... - All right.

I was getting ready to lean into another one. You see me coming with it ?

I was gonna hit him with that Sum Ting Wong joke. You know that one ?

You know that shit's a funny fuck...

Hey, buddy. Hold on now, you gonna break my shit.

- I didn't mean to. - Load the fucking bag up. Goddamn it.

Watch where your hands are going, man.

- So you're going to this game with A.J. ? - Yeah.

Who's driving you ?

A.J.

No, no, no. You're going to the game with A.J., but who's driving ?

Because he's 14 years old and his parents are in Castaic.

So who's driving you to the game ?

Tom.

Tom's driving you ?

Yeah.

That's all you gotta say to me ?

I'm sorry, Dad.

For what ?

For lying to you.

I just thought you...

You'd get weird, you know ?

Pull out five socks.

- Five ? - Yeah, you need two.

You drop any, you're doing 10 push-ups.

There you go.

- Hey, Dad. - Yeah.

Remember how you said you'd build me a treehouse ?

Well, we never owned a tree. Buy me a tree, I'll get to work.

- Sorry. - What was that ?

- I don't know. - Pick it up.

- You go to your meeting ? - Yeah.

- Was it good ? - Yeah.

- That's good. - We're even.

Yeah, there was like 45 years in the room.

Big cakes.

Coming up on four myself, you know that, right ?

- That's crazy. - Yeah.
