The first 200 lines.
It's like walking on fake ground upside-down. Choking.
Is that what you think death feels like?
No.
Death is like sucking pure oxygen.
And life?
Well it's like being trapped inside the wrong house
looking for a way out.
How do you know you will be able to breath once you die?
Because I'll be outside my body.
I'll be floating and free.
How do you know? How do you know it won't be worse?
I know it'll be better than this.
You don't know that, Nancy.
What if death, as you say, is leaving your body but not your mind?
What if you're trapped inside your mind...
What then?
Then I will release it and be free.
If you can release it there, why not release them here?
Hello?
Baltimore?
Hi there.
You look different.
You want me to take that?
What, this? You don't think I can't handle it.
I don't know.
Can you?
Let's find out.
You know in Thailand they have two kinds of dog food.
Yeah?
One for just feeding your dog and another if you're going to eat your dog.
Did you hear that Walnut?
She wants to eat you.
Must've been real crowded here.
Hey. How are ya?
Yeah, we're on for a lounge night.
It's five, it's staying five, it's not gonna get any better. OK?
It's the same for all of us, Stan.
I don't want to talk, no, I don't about it anymore.
Listen, I gotta call you back, OK?
Shit.
How was your bus trip?
Stuffy.
I'm a little cold over here.
That air too much?
No, it's perfect.
Is there an arcade around here?
A what?
Somewhere?
An arcade??
Yeah, an arcade, like games and stuff.
OK.
Well, I'm boarding my flight in about forty-five minutes.
I'll be here playing some putts. Where will you be?
Upstairs in the airport around noisy families, screaming babies,
somebody sleeping next to you on the bench,
or here at Putting Lounge,
your own private golf course.
Putting Lounge. Combining state of the art golf technology
with the casual elegance of fine drinks.
At major air terminals across the United States and Canada.
Happy putting. Happy putting.
Wow.
I'm really impressed, Albert... real impressed.
It's based on a two drink minimum, seven dollar price point.
There's a flat fee built into your first drink, and then you build up miles
at different lounges across the country.
I love it.
What can I say, it's uh... I'm real impressed. Cheers Albert.
Cheers.
Well, we'd better start getting serious since we gonna be Putt Lounge dealers.
Fucking A.
How's your back?
Shoots through my legs. It's keeping Jenny up at night.
Have you not been going to the gym?
Two times a week.
You know, Stan if you want some of the serious stuff, let me know.
I got a kid on my crew can get anything.
Well, tell him to get you a new life then.
Where's Nancy? She inter-netting her life away?
She finally morphed into a digital entity?
Nancy's in Baltimore with some friends. She's coming back tomorrow.
Who has friends in Baltimore?
It's just, it's not like her not to call. You know?
Well, sometimes, you know, it's good just to be away from each other, so...
just get the magic back.
Went to the Drive N'Wash,
came back and there was this...
What note?
Saying she was gonna, uh, gonna stay with friends.
Hello?
No I told him we, we'd talk about that on Monday.
Yeah.
Alright.
Bye.
He's good.
Would you like some company?
Shoot.
Isn't that your first line?
Shoot?
No. Would you like some company?
I believe it was...
I'm your man.
Would you like some company?
That's right. Now look, you are my man.
Darn it.
How many others were there?
Too many to count. All a bunch of bullshitters.
- You know what? - How do you know I'm not?
It's a gut thing.
I'm gonna need something to wear for my big finish.
Absolutely.
When body and mind are synchronized for a golf swing,
they are unified...
in purpose...
presence
and focus.
Surrender to true gravity. The force pervading all.
Sense the fertile void.
Keep your inner-eye on the ball,
and visualize its path.
Be the ball.
Be the ball.
Be the ball.
Pour all this energy.
Clear the stream of the mind.
Be the ball.
Be the ball.
Do you think you can, uh, remember the exact, uh,
feeling that you go through before you get the urge to hurt yourself?
Yeah... Nothing.
What do you feel right now?
I feel like a smoke.
Can you remember the exact thoughts that run through your head?
Um, sometimes I think of my uncle, sometimes I think of Albert, sometimes I get hungry.
What about your uncle?
How much he loved me.
Your uncle hurt you.
That was his way of loving me.
Alright, you realize that love does not mean hurting someone, right?
Can, can we at least agree on that?
If I let him love me...
the way he wanted to, then I was showing him that I loved him back.
Did he scare you?
We played a lot, we laughed.
But the play that you had resulted in pain.
Yes.
Did you feel acceptable to him when you played his games?
Yes.
So, um...
so hurting yourself or being hurt by someone made you feel accepted.
It made me feel.
Does Albert ever hurt you?
No.
Can, uh... can you describe to me what it's like to, to make love with Albert?
Yes.
The last time we did it... he masturbated all over me.
Don't write that down.
What's in your head right now?
I'm repulsive.
Nancy...
Albert's behavior has nothing to do with you.
This is not about you.
You are a beautiful woman. You are an intelligent woman, Nancy.
No, no, no. We can't always be what we want to be, what we wish we could be.
Get that?
Well, it's hard to believe that this company has been around for over fifteen years.
Fifteen years is a long time.
Now, you know, to create a rainbow, you need rain...
you need sunshine,
and at the end of the rainbow you find something...
a pot of gold.
I found that pot.
Yeah.
Because... this company... could not... have grown into the state leader
had it not been for one man.
A man...
who gave me some money,
a push when I needed it most.
I want to thank that man right now.
Here's to you, Albert.
For being a good, true friend after all these years.
And to continue this celebration,
I want...
my beautiful wife, Jenny, and all you guys up and to the dance floor
for a nice slow one to kick off dessert.
Come on, all you guys.
Don't you want to dance?
Yeah.
When?
I need to go home.
- You need to go? - Yeah, I'm not feeling well, I need to go.
Come over you kind of quickly?
You need some medicine?
Nancy.
Nancy?
Nancy?
What are you doing? There's a party going on.
What's wrong?
Nothing. I don't feel well, I just want to go home.
Can't you just drop it? Snap out of it?
