Border
Security Guard:
What's wrong with your friend?
[a stoned Peter is
playing with the passenger car window]
Ethan Tremblay: I...Peter,
don't do that.
Border Security Guard:
Why are your eyes so glassy? You been partying?
Ethan Tremblay: No,
I have glycoma.
Border Security Guard:
What about your friend? Does he have glycoma too?
[Ethan turns to Peter]
Ethan Tremblay: Answer
the man. Do you have glycoma too?
[Peter shakes his head]
Ethan Tremblay: No,
he doesn't have glycoma.
Border Security Guard:
What about the dog? Does he have glycoma? Cause his eyes are glassy as
fuck.
[Peter laughs]
Border Security Guard:
Stop the car, give me the keys please.
[after Ethan has
abandoned Peter at the Mexican border]
Border Security Guard:
I told
you, I took the wrong exit and wound up here by mistake. No matter how
many times you ask me that's going to be my answer.
Peter Highman: You
sound like Jason Bourne, man. You don't know where you're going, no ID.
Federali Agent:
You Americano's sneak into our country, bring drugs, party. You sleep
with our women.
Peter Highman: I've
never heard of an American sneaking into Mexico. This would be an
isolated incident. Actually it's usually the reverse.
[after Ethan has broken
Peter out of the Mexican border]
Peter Highman: How
many laws did we just break?
Ethan Tremblay: I
don't know, sixty?
Peter Highman: I
had no idea where I was going. Then I see you, remember when we
jackknifed together? But you didn't look like you.
Ethan Tremblay: We
locked eyes, I know that.
Peter Highman: God,
you looked crazy!
Ethan Tremblay: Yeah.
Well, I was in stealth mode. Still got the scarf on my head and
everything.
Peter Highman: You
were like a fucking commando! You were a comanche warrior.
Ethan Tremblay: Thanks.
Peter Highman: It
was the greatest ever.
Ethan Tremblay: Thank
you.
Peter Highman: Rescue.
A daring rescue. You came back for me.
Ethan Tremblay: Of
course I did.
Peter Highman: That's
so great.
Ethan Tremblay: Yeah,
I made you a promise. I told you I was going to get you home safe. I'm
getting you home safe, okay.
Peter Highman: I'm
gonna kiss you.
Ethan Tremblay: What?
Peter Highman: I'm
going to give you a smooch.
Ethan Tremblay: No.
Peter Highman: Dude,
come on?
Ethan Tremblay: No
way!
Peter Highman: I'm
going to give you a little smooch.
Ethan Tremblay: Stop,
Peter! I'm driving!
Peter Highman: Come
on.
[Peter kisses Ethan on
his arm]
Ethan Tremblay: Sick!
Peter Highman: You
go it.
Ethan Tremblay: My
gosh! Everything's up and down with you, roller coast.
Peter Highman: I
owe you big time. There's no fucking way I'd seen my kid if you hadn't
done that. There's no way. I love you, dude.
Ethan Tremblay: I
love you too, Peter.
[looking over at the
Grand Canyon]
Peter Highman: I'm
tellin' ya, I wouldn't make it up.
Ethan Tremblay: I
could have sworn I read it was man made.
Peter Highman: Nope,
nope. Not correct. Very old. Formed over time. Grand Canyon. Known fact.
Ethan Tremblay: Peter,
I have a photogenic memory...
Peter Highman: Ethan...
Ethan Tremblay: I
can recall...
Peter Highman: Ethan,
I promise you. It's...It's old, it's the Grand Canyon. It's not the
Hoover Dam.
Ethan Tremblay: Well,
I know it's not the Hoover Dam. It was build by the pilgrims.
Peter Highman: Also
incorrect.
Ethan Tremblay: Let's
stick with the plan, you know.
Peter Highman: But
I thought
this was part of the plan. What am I missin'? Ethan? What's really
goin' on? Because when I said the Grand Canyon wasn't on the way, you
said 'Too bad, it would have been perfect.' And when I said we already
passed the Mississippi River, you said 'Too bad, dad loved titties and
jazz.'
Ethan Tremblay: It's
just...just, you know, we got stuff to do and I don't want to step on
it.
Peter Highman: I
know it's hard
to say goodbye. And I didn't know your dad, but from what you've told
me he was a great father. He was a cool guy. I'm just saying, this
gesture, if you got it in you. He deserves a grand gesture.
[to his father's ashes]
Ethan Tremblay: Dad,
you were
like a father to me. And uh...I don't know how I'm gonna make it
without you. But I know that you'll look after me from up there. I have
to make you proud dad, okay. I promise. I love you, say hi to mum.
[to Peter after he's
thrown his
dad's ashes over the Grand Canyon]
Ethan Tremblay: He
was a great guy. You would have loved him, he was just like me.
Peter Highman: Ethan,
there's
somethin' I've been wantin' to tell you. I feel pretty awful about,
kinda wanna get it off my chest. I uh...I ditched you at the rest stop
in Louisiana.
Ethan Tremblay: What?
Peter Highman: I
had no intention of comin' back. So wrong.
Ethan Tremblay: Why
would you do that?
Peter Highman: Because
I'm a pig, I'm an asshole. I don't know, I'm working on it.
Ethan Tremblay: Well,
you know what? You came back with donuts, and I think that says more
about you than leaving does.
Ethan Tremblay: Well,
there's something I've been wanting to get off my chest too.
Peter Highman: Shoot.
Ethan Tremblay: I'm
not really twenty three years old.
Peter Highman: I
know. It's okay.
Ethan Tremblay: The
other thing is, Peter, I have your wallet and I've had it this whole
time.
Peter Highman: What?
What are you talkin' about?
Ethan Tremblay: Peter.
Okay, listen...
Peter Highman: Why
would you do that?
Ethan Tremblay: I
saw it on the
plane and I didn't wanna be alone, I was really vulnerable because of
my father's death. I had just...I didn't wanna go across country by
myself, you know?
[Peter grabs his wallet
from Ethan and looks through it]
Peter Highman: It's
all here.
Ethan Tremblay: Yeah.
Peter Highman: All
my money, all my credit cards. Everything...everything I needed. This
whole time.
Ethan Tremblay: You
okay with it?
Peter Highman: It's
in the past. What are you gonna do?
Ethan Tremblay: Okay.
Peter Highman: Okay.
Ethan Tremblay: Thanks,
Peter.
[Peter shrugs]
Ethan Tremblay: Okay.
Peter Highman: Okay.
Ethan Tremblay: Let's
hit the road then, right?
Peter Highman: Yeah,
sure.
Ethan Tremblay: You
get Sonny and I'll uh...I'll drive I guess.
Peter Highman: Okay.
I'll grab him.
[Peter suddenly grabs
Ethan and bangs his head hard against the car]
Peter Highman: I'll
fucking kill you!
[after finding out his
wife has gone
into labor]
Peter Highman: Not
gonna make
it. That's great, I'm gonna miss the birth of my child.
Ethan Tremblay: We
are gonna
make it.
Peter Highman: There's
no
'we'. Don't say 'we'. Okay, now...
Ethan Tremblay: First
of all
in the future...
Peter Highman: No,
me first.
Ethan Tremblay: Please?
Peter Highman: No,
you can't.
I told you I saw red. I told you I was put my hands on you. I have a
problem and I am sorry you were the recepient of it, but I warned you.
I'm sorry.
Ethan Tremblay: Fine.
But in
the future when we're hanging out as buddies, if we get into a fight,
don't got for my face! You know that's how I make a living, okay?
Peter Highman: Okay.
[Ethan opens the glove
compratment
and finds a gun in there, he takes it out]
Ethan Tremblay: Why
do you
have this thing on?
[he fires the gun,
shooting at Peter]
Ethan Tremblay: [in shock] Shoot!
[Peter screams]
Ethan Tremblay:
I can't believe
I did that! Sorry, Peter. I'm so sorry. I didn't think it was loaded.
I'm so embaressed. Pull over.
Peter Highman: No,
I wanna
keep going.
Ethan Tremblay: No,
no, no!
Pull over.
Peter Highman: I
wanna keep
going. I
don't wanna stop.
Ethan Tremblay: Peter,
pull
over?
Peter Highman: No,
it didn't
happen!
Ethan Tremblay: Pull
over,
pull over, pull over!
Peter Highman: [shouts] It didn't
happen! Why?
I'm
in shock!
Ethan Tremblay: We
gotta get
you to a hospital.
Peter Highman: No,
we're going
to a hospital already. We're gonna be fine.
Ethan Tremblay: Oh,
God!
Peter Highman: Stop!
Stop.
Ethan Tremblay: What
did I do?
What did I do? What did I do?
Peter Highman: I'm
with you
now, it's okay. Tell you what? Let's do a little acting exercise like
we did at the restuarent bathroom, okay? You're a sergeant, I'm just
another grunt in your platoon but you promised me that you'd get me
home to my high school sweetheart. Action.
[Ethan throws up all
over Peter]
Ethan Tremblay: I
puked into
the wound!
Peter Highman: I
know. It's
okay, buddy.
[Ethan starts to act out
the scene
Peter had told him to do before Ethan puked]
Ethan Tremblay: Get
into the
back steet, private. What are you, a girl or somethin'?
Peter Highman: Excellent.
Ethan Tremblay: You're
son's
about to be born, what are you gonna name him?
Peter Highman: I'll
know it
when I see him.
Ethan Tremblay: What
about
Sonny?
Peter Highman: No.
I'm not
naming my son after a masturbating dog.
Ethan Tremblay: Don't
listen
to him, Sonny. He loves you.
[walking down the
hospital corridor]
Ethan Tremblay: Shoot!
Peter Highman: What?
Ethan Tremblay: I
forgot to
crack the window for Sonny.
Peter Highman: The
door's off
the car, Ethan!
Ethan Tremblay: What?
Okay,
good. See, together we think of everything.
Peter Highman: Have
I told
you, that I love your perm?
Ethan Tremblay: Thank
you,
Peter.
[walking down to
hospital corrider
trying to find Sarah]
Ethan Tremblay: Put
your
handcuffs in your pocket, hide your hancuffs. Here's your rally monkey.
Peter Highman: Boom!
[Peter finally finds
Sarah's room in
the hospital, she's in labor]
Sarah Highman: Baby,
you
finally made it!
Dr. Greene:
Jesus, Peter! Are
you okay?
Sarah Highman: Baby?
Peter Highman:Yeah,
I just lost
a little blood.
[Peter faints]
Ethan Tremblay: Everybody
relax. Just relax. We need to find a hospital, okay?
Sarah Highman: Who
are you?
Ethan Tremblay: My
name is
Ethan Tremblay. I'm your husbands best friend.
Sarah Highman: It's
nice to
meet you.
Ethan Tremblay: Nice
to meet
you too. Now, let's get that baby out of your vagina.
Sarah Highman: Okay.
[looking at his baby]
Peter Highman: That's
a
handsome boy.
Ethan Tremblay: It's
a girl,
actually.
[Peter shakes his in
disagreement]
Ethan Tremblay: Yep.
Peter Highman: No.
Ethan Tremblay: Doctor
Greene
says it happens all the time, you know. Ultrasounds aren't always
reliable.
Peter Highman: Right.
Ethan Tremblay: Little
Rosie.
Peter Highman: Rosie.
Little
Rosie Highman. Does that sound strange to you?
Ethan Tremblay: No,
it's such
a pretty name. Sarah thought you'd be okay with it.
Peter Highman: When
d'you talk
to Sarah?
Ethan Tremblay: Right
after I
cut the umbilical cord.
Peter Highman: You
cut it?
Ethan Tremblay: The
tether of
life, from mother to child. I got to cut that.
Peter Highman: No!
Ethan Tremblay: Yes.
Peter Highman: You?
Ethan Tremblay: I
kept some. I
kept a little bit of it and put it in my wallet. It's good for sore
ankles and stuff.
Peter Highman: Oh
my God!
Ethan, I dreamt this. This is crazy. I had this strange dream that it
was today, and...and...it was a...a bear.
Ethan Tremblay: A
what?
Peter Highman: And
the bear
chewed the cord.
Ethan Tremblay: Mmhmm.
Peter Highman: I
mean that's
kinds spot on if you think about it. That's like a one in a...you know
what I mean?
Ethan Tremblay: I
don't get
it. What...
Peter Highman: Forget
it.
It's, it's...it's uh...it's gotta be a good sign.
Ethan Tremblay: God,
a crazy
few days!
Peter Highman: That
was nuts.
Ethan Tremblay: We
should do
it again sometime, go across country again.
Peter Highman: Okay.
Sure.
Ethan Tremblay: Call
me
tomorrow about it.
Peter Highman: If
I don't...
Ethan Tremblay: Call
me
tomorrow about it.
Peter Highman: I
might email
you. Please don't take it personally.
Ethan Tremblay: No,
no.
An...an email's fine.
[just before Ethan's
about to leave]
Ethan Tremblay: It's
been a
real pleasure, Peter.
Peter Highman: Been
a lot of
things.
[as Ethan is walking
away]
Peter Highman: Hey,
Ethan.
Welcome to Hollywood!
Ethan Tremblay: What's
that?
You want me to come back and talk to you
Peter Highman: No.
No. I'm
just saying in the most general sense, the city welcomes you.
Ethan Tremblay: Just
make sure
you call me tomorrow.
Peter Highman: I'll
call you.
[watching Ethan on an
episode of Two
and a Half Men]
Sarah Highman: [laughing] You
what...he's...he's
really funny!
Peter Highman: Don't
get
crazy. I'll tell you the show's funny.
Sarah Highman: Come
on. You
love him, you know you love him.
Peter Highman: I
survived him,
there's a difference.
[there's an incoming
call from Ethan
on Peter's cell phone]
Peter Highman: Like
clockwork.
I told him to call me after we watched it.
Sarah Highman: He's
excited.
[referring to Rosie,
Peter's holding
her on his lap]
Peter Highman: If
she says his
name I'll freak out.
[last lines; Ethan
acting on an
episode of Two and a Half Men]
Ethan Tremblay: Pita
bread?
Hummus?
Alan Harper:
Um..again, no
thank you.
Charlie Harper: You
got
anymore pot?
Ethan Tremblay: Not

dollars an hour I don't. I mean, I don't know what you're talking about.
