'CAUSE SHE'S SCARED.
SHE'S SCARED JUST LIKE I WAS.

THIS ROOM WITH SHIT IN HIS PANTS
AND HE DON'T KNOW WHY.
NOW YOU FIND
THAT INSUFFERABLE?
DO YOU FIND
THAT UNACCEPTABLE?
HEY, THEN DO YOURSELF
A FAVOR, MARINE,

'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?

THAT'S YOUR MED
FROM THE JOKE!
IT NEVER STOPS.
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
THE DREAMS.
VOICES.
I THINK ABOUT THIS ONE DAY
IN AFGHANISTAN.
WE'RE SCOUTING THE AREA,
I SPLIT UP THE UNIT.
I SENT CRUZ ACROSS THE STREET TO
CHECK ON A GROUP OF CIVILIANS.
AND THERE
WAS THIS EXPLOSION.
AND THEY WERE ALL GONE.
WE STARTED
TO TAKE FIRE
AND BENNY...
HE WENT DOWN IMMEDIATELY.
I WENT TO CHECK ON BENNY.
HE WAS GONE.
THEY KILLED HIM.
THAT'S WHEN
I STARTED SHAKING.
I DOVE BEHIND
THE CORNER OF A BUILDING,
AND THAT'S WHEN I HEARD
THE VOICES.
THERE WAS PEOPLE
COMING, AND I--
I COULDN' TAKE THE CHANCE.
AND WHEN IT WAS OVER,
I CAME AROUND
THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING...
AND THAT'S WHEN
I SAW THE BODIES.
I KEEP SEEING
THE BODIES.
THAT'S WHAT I SEE.
HOW OFTEN?
EVERY DAY.
I DREAM ABOUT I EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
I LOOK DOWN,
I SEE THIS KID
WITH HALF A HEAD.
DO YOU HAVE A PLAN?
TO HURT YOURSELF?
HMM?
HELLO, MR. CARUSO.
HOW'S JOE?
SAME.
- HOW ARE YOU DOING, SARAH?
- I'M OKAY.
WHAT'S GOIN' ON
WITH YOU TWO?
DID HE DO SOMETHING
WRONG TO YOU?
NO.
I JUST DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO, MR. C.
I'M SO SCARED.
I KNOW YOU ARE,
SWEETHEART.
WE ALL ARE.
HAS HE CALLED YOU AT ALL?
NO.
WE REALLY LEFT OFF
ON BAD TERMS.
BE PATIENT.
HE'LL COME AROUND.
I HOPE SO.
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
LISTEN, I'M SURE
THINGS ARE GONNA WORK OUT.
HE'LL WAKE UP.
HE'S JUST GOING THROUGH
SOME TOUGH TIMES NOW,
BUT I KNOW
THAT HE LOVES YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU GO HOME
AND GET A LITTLE REST?
THINGS WILL GET BETTER.
I PROMISE.
NOW LET ME SEE A BIG SMILE
ON THAT PRETTY FACE.
- GOOD TO SEE YOU.
- YOU, TOO.
- HOW'S NEXT TUESDAY?

AND YOU WEREN'T READY TO TELL ME,
BUT I GOTTA ASK YOU

WHAT'S THE DEAL?
WHY THE SHRINK?
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
I'M GAY.
AND THE MILITARY
DOESN'T ACCEPT IT.
NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT'S WHY
YOU WERE SEEING A SHRINK.
WELL, THAT'S NO THE ONLY REASON, BUT...
LOOK, MAX,
WITH WHAT WE'VE
BEEN THROUGH,
ALL RIGHT, THAT SHI DON'T MATTER TO ME.
YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE.
ALL RIGHT?
YOU DON'T OWE ME
ANY EXPLANATIONS.
I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT MOS SOLDIERS DON'T AGREE WITH THAT.
WELL, SCREW THEM!
ALL RIGHT?
I WOULD HAVE BEEN
HONORED TO SERVE WITH YOU.
I GUESS I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE HOW
HARD IT COULD BE ON SOMEBODY.
THANKS.

DON'T TELL POLICY ENDED,
THAT'S WHEN I CAME OUT,

I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD'VE
STARTED MUCH SOONER.
YEAH, ME TOO.
I WISH YOU HAD.
CAN'T SAY I'M LIKING
THE WAY YOU LOOK.
GOTTA DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THIS WARDROBE.
YOU LOOK LIKE
A SWAMP HOG.
WHAT ARE YOU,
A THERAPIST OR A STYLIST?
YOU COULD TIGHTEN IT UP.
WOULDN'T HURT.
WHAT DOES IT MATTER
WHAT I LOOK LIKE?
- IT'S ALL ONE-SIDED ANYWAY.
- HOW SO?
YOU DO EVERYTHING
YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU TO DO
AND THEY JUST LEAVE YOU...
HANGIN'.
YOU CAN'T KEEP
ASSIGNING BLAME.
YOU KNOW?
WE DON'T DEAL IN
HALF TRUTHS.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THAT.
YEAH.
HOW'S YOUR GRANDPA?
UH, HE'S ALL RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, OUR RELATIONSHIP'S
STRAINED, THOUGH.
STRAINED, HUH?
YOU ADDING TO THAT?
THIS FUNNY THING LOVE.
IT'S ALL A PART OF IT,
ISN'T IT?
THE SUPPORT PROCESS.
OR WHATEVER
THE HELL IT IS.
COME ON,
HAVE A SEAT.
WHAT'S UP, GRAMP?
NEED A HAND?
NAH, I GOT IT.
BUT I CAN USE THE COMPANY.
AH, IT'S NO PROBLEM.
I GOT NOTHING GOING ON
ANYWAY.
HOW WAS THE SESSION?
AH, IT WAS ALL RIGHT,
I GUESS.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
I DON'T KNOW.
I WISH I DID.
WELL, YOU JUS HANG IN THERE.
BY NOW YOU KNOW THAT SOME
SESSIONS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS,
BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS YOU'RE
GETTING THE HELP THAT YOU NEED.
I JUST-- I HOPE
IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE.
I TOLD YA.
I HAD A TOUGH TIME
WHEN I GOT BACK FROM VIETNAM.
YEAH, BUT THAT'S THE THING.
YOU NEVER TALK ABOUT IT.
NO, I KNOW, BUT NOW WE HAVE
MORE IN COMMON.
OH, MAX.
- HEY, WHAT'S UP, JOE?
- WHAT'S UP, MAN?
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU
AGAIN, MR. C.
- IT'S RAY.
- RAY.
IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU, MAX.
YOU LOOK GOOD.
THANK YOU.
I FEEL GOOD.
ME AND SOME FRIENDS ARE
GOING OUT TONIGHT. YOU IN?
AH, I DON'T KNOW, I THINK I'M
GONNA JUST CHILL IN TONIGHT.
I'M NOT REALLY
IN THE MOOD.
JOE, IT'S GONNA BE FUN.
YOU SURE?
NAH, I'M GOOD, MAN. I'LL
CATCH YOU NEXT TIME, THOUGH.
- OKAY.
- ALL RIGHT?
LET ME KNOW
IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND.
ALL RIGHT, MAN.
I APPRECIATE THE INVITE.
BYE, MR. C-- UH, RAY.
GREAT DUDE, MAN.
JOE, YOU CAN GO WITH THEM.
WE'LL TALK
ABOUT THIS LATER.
NAH, I THINK WE SHOULD
HAVE THAT TALK NOW.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
SURE.
SO, GRAMP, HOW COME YOU NEVER
TALK ABOUT YOUR TIME AT WAR?
ALL YOU EVER SAY IS YOU
SERVED YOUR COUNTRY, PERIOD.
COMBAT IS A HARD THING
TO GET YOUR HANDS AROUND.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND,
EVEN THOUGH THEY THINK THEY DO,
AND I KNOW
THEY WANT TO,
BUT UNLESS THEY'VE ACTUALLY
BEEN THERE THEMSELVES,
THEY JUST DON'T.
LIKE I SAID, YOU AND ME
HAVE MORE IN COMMON NOW.
WE BOTH SERVED.
BUT MORE THAN THAT.
I HAD PTSD
BEFORE THEY CALLED IT THAT.
- YEAH?
- OH, YEAH.
FLASHBACKS.
NIGHTMARES, PANIC ATTACKS.
HOW BAD WAS IT?
YOUR GRANDMOTHER AND I SLEP IN SEPARATE BEDS FOR TWO YEARS.
WHY?
I CHOKED HER IN HER SLEEP
ONE NIGHT.
I HAD MY HANDS
AROUND HER THROA AND SHE WAS TURNING BLUE
WHEN I WOKE UP
AND REALIZED
WHAT I WAS DOING.
HOLY SHIT.
I HAD NO IDEA.
DID MOM AND DAD KNOW?
THEY KNEW I WAS A MARINE.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ELSE.
YEAH, WELL, HARRY SAID
HE KNEW YOU FROM THE V.A.,
BUT HE REALLY DIDN' GET INTO IT.
YEAH, BUT THAT'S COMMON.
MOST GUYS DON'T LIKE
TO TALK ABOUT IT.
AND WHEN THEY DO, IT'S USUALLY
ABOUT THE GOOD TIMES.
YEAH, BUT HOW'D YOU
GET THROUGH IT?
I FOUND THAT, FOR ME,
THE BEST THING WAS
I KEPT IN TOUCH
WITH MY MARINE BUDDIES.
THEY UNDERSTOOD ME.
THEY REALLY HELPED ME
GET THROUGH IT.
YEAH.
YEAH, I CAN SEE THAT.
YOU KNOW,
MAX HELPS ME OUT A LOT.
THAT'S A GOOD THING.
YOU KNOW,
I STILL KEEP IN TOUCH
WITH SOME OF THOSE GUYS
EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME.
IT'S A LIFELONG BOND.
ROGER THAT.
SO'S A FAMILY'S LOVE.
YEAH, BUT, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S DIFFERENT.
NOT AS DIFFEREN AS YOU THINK.
I WILL ALWAYS
HAVE YOUR BACK.
I KNOW, POP.
I KNOW.
WANT TO COME BY
AND WATCH THE GAME LATER?
YEAH, DEFINITELY.
WHAT TIME?
I THINK THE START TIME'S 8:00,
SO COME BY 7:30.
WE GONNA EAT?
YEAH.
I'LL ORDER, UH--
I'LL ORDER PIZZA OR CHINESE,
WHATEVER YOU'RE IN THE MOOD FOR.
WHATEVER, WHATEVER.
I MIGHT WANT SANDWICHES.
UH.
YOU KNOW, YOU SUCK.
NOW THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT.
NO, I DIDN'T MEAN I LIKE THAT.
- I MEANT BASKETBALL.
- I KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT.
YO, I THOUGH YOU WERE SERIOUS.
HEY.
MAXI PAD.
WHO'S YOUR NEW GIRLFRIEND?
RELAX.
THE KID'S NAME IS JASON.
HE'S BEEN DOING THA TO ME SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU LET THA SHIT ROLL OFF YOUR BACK, MAN.
IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
NO, YOU DON'T DESERVE THAT.
YOU DON'T DESERVE THAT.
JOE?
WHAT THE FUCK, JOE?
YOU CAN'T TALK TO ME NOW?
I REALLY MISS THEM.
I'M GLAD THEY'RE NOT HERE
TO SEE ME LIKE THIS.
YOUR PARENTS MUST HAVE BEEN
WONDERFUL PEOPLE.
YEAH, THEY WERE.
ESPECIALLY MY MOM.
YOU KNOW, I LOVE MY FATHER,
BUT MY MOM....
YEAH, SHE GOT ME.
SHE WAS SO COMPASSIONATE.
SHE'D KNOW WHAT TO DO TO STEER
ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
SHE'D KNOW
THE RIGHT THING TO SAY.
SHE ALWAYS DID.
LIKE I SAID.
YOU'RE DIFFERENT WHEN
YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR MOM.
WHAT'S THE STORY
WITH YOUR DAD?
MY DAD?
HE WAS JUST LIKE
MY GRANDFATHER, YOU KNOW.
NOTHING'S EVER
QUITE GOOD ENOUGH.
AND HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
HE WENT THROUGH IT HIMSELF.
YOU GOT TO GIVE HIM
A BREAK
BECAUSE HE'S A GOOD MAN,
AND HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH.
WHAT'D YOU COME HERE FOR?
TO PISS ME OFF?
LET'S JUST SAY I KNOW THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE,
AND I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN ANGER
THAT YOU FEEL
FUELED BY LOVE OR HATE.
OH, YOU DO?
WHAT, ARE YOU TRYING
TO BECOME A THERAPIST NOW?
MAYBE. WHY NOT?
THEY MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.
I COULD SPECIALIZE
IN GAYS COMING OUT.
YEAH, RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, I ALMOST WENT TO JAIL
BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR CAUSE.
OH, NOW, YOU DIDN' HAVE TO GET VIOLENT.
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO PUSHED ME
ASIDE AND THEN RAN OVER THERE.
I WASN'T GONNA
HIT HIM, THOUGH.
WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO,
GO GET A GAME OF PARCHEESI?
- HOW ABOUT DISCUSS IT?
- COME ON.
YOU EVER HEARD
OF DISCUSSING IT?
- DISCUSS IT?
- YEAH.
WITH THOSE ASSHOLES?
NO FUCKING WAY.
ALL RIGHT? THEY DESERVED
EVERYTHING THEY GOT.
BESIDES, THEY HAD NO IDEA
WHAT LAURA WENT THROUGH
OR THAT WE WENT TO WAR
FOR HIS FUCKING RIGHTS.
SO YOU HIT HIM
WITH A BOTTLE.
JOE, JOE, JOE.
YOU HAVE TO--
YOU HAVE TO CHILL.
I MEAN, YOU GOTTA
PUT YOUR MIND IN A GOOD PLACE.
YOU GOTTA RELAX.
YOU CAN'T BE MAD AT THE WORLD
ALL THE TIME.
- DOCTOR MAX.
- YOU LIKE THAT.
I'M PROUD OF YOU, MAN.
I KNOW.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW YOU'RE ALWAYS SO CALM.
I REALLY DON'T.
IT'S EASY.
YOU JUST HANG OUT WITH SOMEBODY
MORE FUCKED UP THAN YOU.
YEAH, RIGHT.
OH, MAN.
WELL, I APPRECIATE
YOU COMING, MAN.
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.
- YOU READY?
- YEAH.
EXPOSURE THERAPY
IS ABOUT GETTING DOWN
TO YOUR PERSONAL HISTORY,
YOU KNOW?
THERE'S NO OUT.
WHY DO YOU KEEP AVERTING
TO THESE OPINIONS, HUH,
ABOUT YOUR OWN SELF WORTH?
I TOLD YOU ALREADY.
OKAY, INDULGE ME.
I COULDN'T TALK TO SARAH
WITHOUT HER MENTIONING MARRIAGE.
YOU KNOW, I COULDN'T HOLD
A CONVERSATION WITHOUT HER
SAYING WE SHOULD HAVE KIDS.
MISSED OPPORTUNITIES
TO GO TO WAR.
I CAME BACK,
I WASN'T THE SAME GUY.
I HAD TO PUSH HER AWAY
A LITTLE.
SO YOU DON'T WANT TO GET MARRIED
OR YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE KIDS?
OR MAYBE YOU JUS WANT TO THROW ALL THAT--
I DON'T DESERVE IT.
WELL, HERE WE GO AGAIN.
I OPENED THE DOOR.
JOSEPH, DO YOU CARE
ABOUT THIS GIRL?
I MEAN, YOU LOVE HER?
YOU MISS HER?
DOES SHE KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED OVER THERE?
- NO.
- WHY NOT?
CAUSE SHE DOESN'T NEED
TO KNOW ALL THAT STUFF.
YOU DON'T THINK
SHE DESERVES TO?
I DON'T KNOW.
DO YOU TALK?
NO, I THOUGHT IT WAS BETTER
IF WE DIDN'T TALK.
CAN YOU CALL HER?
I MEAN, WHAT'S TO LOSE?
MAN, YOU DON'T STOP,
DO YOU?
OH, I'M STARVING, MAN.
- FOOD'S HERE.
- IS IT?
- WOW, THAT WAS FAST.
- HI, GUYS. HERE YOU GO.
- THANK YOU. -HOW COME
YOU GOT THE SAME THING?
I GOT THE CHICKEN, THOUGH.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
YOU GUYS NEED OR ARE YOU OKAY?
- OH, NO, THANK YOU.
- OKAY, COOL. ENJOY.
- THANK YOU.
- YOU'RE WELCOME.
YO, SO THE DOC THINKS
I SHOULD CALL SARAH,
OPEN UP TO HER,
AND PART OF ME
WANTS TO,
AND THE OTHER PART OF ME'S
TELLING ME,
"EH, IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA."
MAYBE THE DOC'S RIGHT.
GIVE IT A SHOT.
WHAT IF SHE SLAMS
THE DOOR IN MY FACE?
YOU TURN AROUND
AND YOU LEAVE.
YEAH, LIKE IT'S THAT EASY.
ME AND YOU,
WE'RE SURVIVORS.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
SO I GUESS
THIS SHOULD BE NO SWEAT.
IT'S GREAT KNOWING SOMEONE
WHO UNDERSTANDS ME.
I FEEL LIKE THERE'S NO NEED
FOR A TRANSLATOR.
NO, YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU GOT MY BACK,
I GOT YOURS.
CAN I HELP YOU?
- MR. CARUSO?
- YEAH.
I'M MIKE.
I'M JOE'S DOCTOR.
OH, PLEASE COME IN.
IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
YEAH, SORRY TO SHOW UP
UNANNOUNCED LIKE THIS.
- DOC. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
- HEY.
WHAT'S WRONG?
I GOT SOME BAD NEWS.
IT'S YOUR BUDDY, MAX.
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE TOOK HIS LIFE.
DURING THE NIGHT.
WHAT?
NO.
NO.
NO, IT CAN'T BE.
NO, NOT MAX.
I WAS JUS WITH HIM YESTERDAY.
NO, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
BUT MAX WAS SO STRONG.
NO FUCKIN' WAY.
I WISH HE WOULD HAVE
COME TO ME.
I'M HERE FOR YOU, JOE.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
I'M HERE FOR YOU.
AND WHERE DID THA GET MAX?
- YOU GOTTA OPEN UP, MAN.
- NO.
HEY, YOU WON'T OPEN UP?
WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
WE FAILED HIM.
WE DID.
BUT YOU DON'T FAIL YOURSELF.
YOU DON'T FAIL YOURSELF.
I'VE GOT YOU DOWN FOR
TOMORROW AT 10:00, ALL RIGHT?
- I'M EXPECTING YOU.
- I DON'T KNOW.
LOOK,
YOU DON'T LET ME DOWN.
YOU GOTTA KEEP AN EYE
ON HIM.
DON'T WANT HIM
TO SLIP FURTHER INTO, UH...
I'LL DO MY BEST, DOC,
BUT HE KEEPS PUSHING ME AWAY.
YEAH.
WE CAN ONLY OFFER CHOICES.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SIR.
JOE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
NO, I'M JUST--
JUST LOOKING.
AS OF NOW, THE DOORS TO THIS
PLACE ARE NO LONGER OPEN TO YOU.
YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE ANYMORE
TILL YOU GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.
THAT'S NOT COOL, MAN.
LOOK, KID,
GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILY.
YOU HAVEN'T CROSSED
ANY LINES YET.
MR. FAZIO...
I'M SORRY.
WHEN DID YOU
GET IN LAST NIGHT?
DON'T KNOW.
DON'T CARE.
JOEY, YOU REALLY NEED
TO PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER,
GET PAST THIS.
I KNOW THAT MAX
WAS YOUR DEAR FRIEND,
BUT YOU HAVE
TO MOVE FORWARD.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
I KNOW THA YOU HAVE TO MOVE ON.
I KNOW THAT YOU DID IT ONCE
BEFORE AND YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN.
I DON'T THINK
I CAN MOVE ON.
YES, YOU CAN.
LISTEN, JOE.
YOU NEED TO TAKE CHARGE
OF YOUR LIFE.
NOBODY ELSE
CAN DO THAT FOR YOU.
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
I'M SCARED.
WHY DON'T WE
EASE INTO THINGS?
SHAVE, GET DRESSED,
THAT'LL BE THE FIRST STEP.
SMALL STEPS.
SURE.
SMALL STEPS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
- CAN WE TALK?
- ABOUT WHAT?
HAVEN'T YOU HURT ME ENOUGH?
LOOK, I'M SORRY FOR BEING
SUCH A JERK, ALL RIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW, JOE.
I CAN'T LET YOU
KEEP STEPPING ON ME.
I KNOW, ALL RIGHT?
AND I'M SORRY.
I JUST THINK
WE SHOULD TALK.
- I DON'T KNOW.
- DIDN'T YOU ONCE TELL ME
I SHOULDN'T BE GOING THROUGH
THIS ALL ALONE?
COME IN.
I DID THINGS THERE
THAT I'M NOT PROUD OF.
YOU KNOW, THINGS
I CAN'T GET OUTTA MY HEAD.
I'M SORRY
I TOOK IT OUT ON YOU.
I STUCK WITH YOU
ALL THIS TIME
AND YOU STILL FEEL THAT YOU
HAVE TO HIDE THINGS FROM ME?
JOE, YOU NEED
TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.
THERE'S JUST CERTAIN THINGS
YOU SHOULDN'T HEAR.
WELL, I WANT TO HEAR IT ALL.
HELLO?
- YEAH, RAYMOND.

DOCTOR GALANTE HERE.
HEY, DOC,

LOOK, I TOLD YOU THINGS
I WASN'T COMFORTABLE WITH.
I DON'T WANT YOU
THINKING OF ME DIFFERENTLY.
NO.
NOW I UNDERSTAND.
I'M GLAD
YOU OPENED UP TO ME.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE CAME AT YOU
LIKE THAT, AND, WELL,
- IT'S OVER NOW.
- IS IT?
SOMETIMES WHEN THINGS ARE BROKE,
THEY CAN BE FIXED.
YOU'RE LEARNING
TO LIVE WITH IT?
I'VE BEEN DOING
A LOT OF THINKING LATELY.
OH, YEAH?
ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT BEING A HUSBAND
AND A FATHER.
I THINK I WOULD HAVE
BEEN GOOD AT IT.
I THINK SO, TOO.
I'VE MISSED THIS,
YOU KNOW.
I'VE-- I'VE MISSED US.
TALKING ABOUT A FAMILY AND...
I DON'T WAN TO PUT MY COAT ON.

YOU DON'T DRINK VODKA?
YOU'RE NOT A JACK MAN?
NOT SINCE
I LEFT THE SERVICE.
WHAT TIME OF DAY?
- I DRINK AT NIGHT.
- OH, SHIT.
WHAT TIME OF DAY IS IT NOW?
WHAT THE FUCK
KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?
IT'S A SIMPLE ONE.
LOOK WE BOTH KNOW WHAT TIME
OF DAY IT IS, ALL RIGHT...
SO WE KNOW WHAT TIME OF DAY IT IS.
LET'S CUT THE SHIT.

- NO, I'M NOT FUCKIN' DRUNK.
HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING
MORE THAN USUAL?
- NO!
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
COME HERE TO DROWN
YOUR SORROWS?
MY SORROWS
DON'T DROWN ALL RIGHT?
THEY JUST KEEP COMING BACK.
IF I WANNA HAVE A DRINK EVERY NOW
AND THEN, WHAT DOES IT MATTER?
WHAT DOES IT MATTER?
IT DOESN'T WORK.
HAVE A SEAT PLEASE.
- YOU GOT SOMETHING THAT WORKS.
- YEAH, WHAT'S THAT?
YOU GOT YOUR PAD RIGHT THERE.
WHY DON'T YOU WRITE ME A SCRIPT?
YOU CAN'T TAKE MEDS
AND DRINK.
WHAT DO YOU THINK,
I'M STUPID?
YOU THINK I WANNA BECOME SOME
FUCKING JUNKIE PILL ADDICT?
YOU HAVE SOMETHING SPECIFIC YOU
WANT TO DISCUSS WITH ME TODAY?
BECAUSE I READ
YOUR RECORDS, OKAY?
I KNOW YOU DID A TOUR
IN AFGHANISTAN.
- LET'S CUT TO THE CHASE.
- WELL, IF YOU READ MY RECORDS,
THEN YOU KNOW
WHAT TO TELL ME, RIGHT?
I'M NOT GETTING THE SENSE
YOU WANT MY HELP, SON.
OH, I WANT THE HELP,
I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OU HOW IN THE HELL
YOU'RE GONNA HELP ME
WHEN YOU DON' EVEN KNOW ME.
- NO, I DON'T KNOW YOU.
- NO, YOU DON'T KNOW ME.
- I'M NOT YOU.
- OH, YOU'RE NOT ME.
- WHO THE HELL AM I TO TELL...
- THAT'S RIGHT!
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO TELL ME
WHAT'S BEST FOR ME ANYWAY, HUH?
HUH?
DOC?!
LOOK AT YOU.
YOU'RE A FUCKIN' JOKE.
YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE.
WELL...
I MAY NOT HAVE A CLUE,
BUT I THINK IN
1968, RECON,
I THINK I SAW
MORE THAN YOU THINK I SAW.
AND I TURNED THE SHI I SAW INTO A PHD.
YOU UNDERSTAND?
THREE BOOKS WERE SOLD.
NOW YOU WANNA
GIVE ME SHIT,
I'M GONNA SHOVE I RIGHT BACK UP YOUR ASS.
YOU DON'T WANT WHAT I GOT?
WELL, THERE'S A HUNDRED MEN
OUT HERE THAT DO.
'CAUSE THEY READ CREDENTIALS.
NOW YOU SEE THAT LITTLE GIRL HERE THA JUST WHEELED HERSELF OUT OF HERE?
YOU KNOW WHY SHE'S HERE?
BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO GET BACK
TO WHO THE FUCK SHE WAS.
YOU KNOW HOW SHE DOES THAT?
SHE TALKS.
SHE TALKS TO ME
IN A CIVIL TONE.
'CAUSE SHE'S SCARED.
SHE'S SCARED JUST LIKE I WAS.
THE WAY YOU ARE.
THE WAY ANY KID THAT COMES IN
THIS ROOM WITH SHIT IN HIS PANTS
AND HE DON'T KNOW WHY.
NOW YOU FIND
THAT INSUFFERABLE?
DO YOU FIND
THAT UNACCEPTABLE?
HEY, THEN DO YOURSELF
A FAVOR, MARINE,
AND GET THE FUCK OU RIGHT NOW.
'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU'RE NOT EVEN A GRUN IN MY EYES RIGHT NOW, SON.
YOU WOULDN'T MAKE I AS A FUCKING MOONBEAM.
OKAY?
THAT'S YOUR SCRIPT FROM THE DOC!
YOU GOT THAT, RAG MAN?
THAT'S YOUR MED
FROM THE JOKE!
IT NEVER STOPS.
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
THE DREAMS.
VOICES.
I THINK ABOUT THIS ONE DAY
IN AFGHANISTAN.
WE'RE SCOUTING THE AREA,
I SPLIT UP THE UNIT.
I SENT CRUZ ACROSS THE STREET TO
CHECK ON A GROUP OF CIVILIANS.
AND THERE
WAS THIS EXPLOSION.
AND THEY WERE ALL GONE.
WE STARTED
TO TAKE FIRE
AND BENNY...
HE WENT DOWN IMMEDIATELY.
I WENT TO CHECK ON BENNY.
HE WAS GONE.
THEY KILLED HIM.
THAT'S WHEN
I STARTED SHAKING.
I DOVE BEHIND
THE CORNER OF A BUILDING,
AND THAT'S WHEN I HEARD
THE VOICES.
THERE WAS PEOPLE
COMING, AND I--
I COULDN' TAKE THE CHANCE.
AND WHEN IT WAS OVER,
I CAME AROUND
THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING...
AND THAT'S WHEN
I SAW THE BODIES.
I KEEP SEEING
THE BODIES.
THAT'S WHAT I SEE.
HOW OFTEN?
EVERY DAY.
I DREAM ABOUT I EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
I LOOK DOWN,
I SEE THIS KID
WITH HALF A HEAD.
DO YOU HAVE A PLAN?
TO HURT YOURSELF?
HMM?
HELLO, MR. CARUSO.
HOW'S JOE?
SAME.
- HOW ARE YOU DOING, SARAH?
- I'M OKAY.
WHAT'S GOIN' ON
WITH YOU TWO?
DID HE DO SOMETHING
WRONG TO YOU?
NO.
I JUST DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO, MR. C.
I'M SO SCARED.
I KNOW YOU ARE,
SWEETHEART.
WE ALL ARE.
HAS HE CALLED YOU AT ALL?
NO.
WE REALLY LEFT OFF
ON BAD TERMS.
BE PATIENT.
HE'LL COME AROUND.
I HOPE SO.
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
LISTEN, I'M SURE
THINGS ARE GONNA WORK OUT.
HE'LL WAKE UP.
HE'S JUST GOING THROUGH
SOME TOUGH TIMES NOW,
BUT I KNOW
THAT HE LOVES YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU GO HOME
AND GET A LITTLE REST?
THINGS WILL GET BETTER.
I PROMISE.
NOW LET ME SEE A BIG SMILE
ON THAT PRETTY FACE.
- GOOD TO SEE YOU.
- YOU, TOO.
- HOW'S NEXT TUESDAY?
- UM...
- HOW'S ONE O'CLOCK?
- PERFECT!
- OH, MAX.
- JOEY, HOW YOU DOIN'?
AH. NOT BAD, MAN.
HOW YOU DOIN'?
GREAT. THINGS ARE REALLY
GETTIN' BETTER FOR ME.
DOC IS REALLY
HELPING ME OUT A LOT.
REALLY, I MEAN, I CAN SEE
THINGS MORE CLEARLY NOW.
- AH, THAT'S GOOD, MAN.
- YEAH, THAT'S GREAT.
WHAT'RE YOU DOIN' TONIGHT?
YOU WANNA GRAB A BEER?
OF COURSE.
I'LL MEET YOU AT THE BAR?
HOW ABOUT I JUST COME
PICK YOU UP LIKE,
I DON'T KNOW,
TEN O'CLOCK?
- EVEN BETTER.
- THAT'S COOL?
- YEAH.
- ALL RIGHT.
- GOOD LUCK.
- I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
BYE.
NO, I UNDERSTAND.
YEAH,
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
SAL!
WHAT'S UP, BOSS?
I GOT TO LEAVE EARLY AGAIN.
ELLEN'S HAVING A BAD NIGHT.
I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.
- HEY, WHAT'S UP?
- HEY, HOW'S IT GOING, BOYS?
CALL ME
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING
OR IF THERE'S
ANYTHING I CAN DO.
WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO?
I APPRECIATE IT, THOUGH.
NOW YOU CALL ME
IF ANYTHING, OKAY?
WILL DO.
WE'RE GOOD.
DON'T WORRY.
- LAURA.
- WHAT'S UP, LAURA?
- GOOD TO SEE YOU.
- LOOKIN' GOOD.
COULD I GET TWO BEERS,
PLEASE?
LOOK, I KNOW I ASKED YOU ALREADY
AND YOU WEREN'T READY TO TELL ME,
BUT I GOTTA ASK YOU
AGAIN, ALL RIGHT?
WHAT'S THE DEAL?
WHY THE SHRINK?
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
I'M GAY.
AND THE MILITARY
DOESN'T ACCEPT IT.
NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT'S WHY
YOU WERE SEEING A SHRINK.
WELL, THAT'S NO THE ONLY REASON, BUT...
LOOK, MAX,
WITH WHAT WE'VE
BEEN THROUGH,
ALL RIGHT, THAT SHI DON'T MATTER TO ME.
YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE.
ALL RIGHT?
YOU DON'T OWE ME
ANY EXPLANATIONS.
I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT MOS SOLDIERS DON'T AGREE WITH THAT.
WELL, SCREW THEM!
ALL RIGHT?
I WOULD HAVE BEEN
HONORED TO SERVE WITH YOU.
I GUESS I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE HOW
HARD IT COULD BE ON SOMEBODY.
THANKS.
YOU KNOW WHEN THE DON'T ASK
DON'T TELL POLICY ENDED,
THAT'S WHEN I CAME OUT,
AND THE ABUSE I TOOK.
I MEAN, THE BEATINGS
AND THE RIDICULE.
I MEAN,
I COULDN'T SLEEP.
SO I JUST KEPT REHASHING THA OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN MY MIND.
AND I JUS WANTED IT TO END,
SO THAT'S WHEN
I DECIDED TO GET SOME HELP.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WHAT'S YOUR STORY?
AH.
I DON'T WANNA
TALK ABOUT IT.
JUST THAT I'M HAVING TROUBLE
DEALING WITH ALL THE SHI THAT WENT ON OVER THERE.
I JUST FEEL ISOLATED.
YOU KNOW, CUT OFF FROM
WHO I WAS BEFORE.
I FUCKED UP
AND PEOPLE DIED.
I'M JUST BARELY
KEEPING MY SHIT TOGETHER.
HEY, GUYS,

THANKS, SAL.
APPRECIATE IT, MAN.
EXCUSE ME?

HE AIN'T TALKIN NOW IS HE,

AND IF I EVER SEE YOU
IN MY FUCKING BAR AGAIN
I'M GONNA SHOVE THIS BA SO FAR UP YOUR ASS
YOU'RE GONNA THINK
YOU'RE A POPSICLE.
OH, WHAT'S UP, BRI?
LONG TIME NO SEE.
YEAH.
WHAT CRAWLED UP YOUR ASS?
JOE, I'M SURE WHAT HAPPENED
OVER THERE WASN'T PLEASANT.
YOU'RE NO THE SAME GUY NO MORE.
TOO MUCH FUCKIN' BOOZE
AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE.
LOOK AT YOU.
ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY.
NO. NOT ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY,
NOT AT ALL.
BUT I'M NOT TRYIN'
TO BRING EVERYONE DOWN
AND GET EVERYONE DRUNK
'CAUSE I'M HURTIN'.
WE ALL LOOKED UP TO YOU.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I WENT TO WAR,

I COME HOME AND EVERYBODY'S

OH, SO NOW EVERYBODY AROUND YOU

I DON'T FUCKIN' KNOW!
WANNA GIVE ME A LIF TO THE MOVIES?
YOU'VE BEEN HOME FOR OVER A YEAR,
AND THERE'S STILL NO STRUCTURE.
NO JOB, NO CHANGES.
ALL YOU DO IS HANG AROUND
THE HOUSE AND DRINK.
PASSES THE TIME.
I DON'T GOTTA
LISTEN TO THIS.
WHERE YOU GOIN'?
IS IT THAT EASY FOR YOU
TO QUIT NOW?
MAYBE IF YOU ACTED LIKE A MAN
I WOULDN'T GIVE YOU ANY SHIT.
YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THAT?
WHY DON'T YOU SHAVE
THAT MESS OFF YOUR FACE?
- I KINDA LIKE IT.
- YEAH, YOU LIKE I BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU
SOMETHING ELSE TO HIDE BEHIND.
I JUST TOLD YOU I'M TRYIN'.

I GET THAT!
BUT YOU HAVE
A LONG WAY TO GO!
AND YOU HAVE TO GET MOVING!
YOU KNOW WHAT?

RAY. JOEY.

OH, WHERE YOU GOIN'?
I'M TRYIN'

BUT I'M GETTIN' A LECTURE
INSTEAD OF A RIDE.
WHERE'S YOUR CAR?

JOE, I'LL TAKE YA.

NICK, IT'S BEEN
A LONG MINUTE.
WELL, I JUST STOPPED BY
TO SEE HOW THINGS ARE GOIN'.
OH, THEY'RE GOIN'. HE'S JUS BEING A LITTLE DIFFICULT.
WELL, AREN'T WE ALL
AT TIMES?
BESIDES YOU KNOW THE KID'S
BEEN THROUGH A LOT.
HE'S GOT A HEART OF GOLD
JUST LIKE HIS MOTHER.
YEAH, BUT HIS MOTHER
WAS AS REASONABLE AS CAN BE,
AND HE'S A HARD-HEADED KID.
DON'T I KNOW IT.
HEY, I'M RIGHT HERE!
YEAH, YOU ARE.
- OKAY IF I TAKE HIM?
- SURE.
IT SAVES ME FROM
HAVING TO DO IT.
COME ON, JOEY,
LET'S GO.
WHAT'S UP WITH YOU
AND YOUR GRANDFATHER?
I'M DEALIN' WITH
ALL KINDS OF SHIT.
AND HE JUST DON' UNDERSTAND ME.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN'.
WHEN YOUR MOM AND DAD DIED,
NORA AND I
WANTED TO RAISE YOU,
BUT RAY WOULDN'T HAVE IT.
HE STEPPED UP.
HE SAID,
NO, HE'S GONNA RAISE YOU.
HE DEVOTED HIS WHOLE
LIFE TO GIVE YOU
EVERYTHING
THAT YOU NEEDED.
SO DON'T THINK FOR ONE MINUTE
THAT HE DOESN'T CARE.
I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, MAYBE.
NO, NOT MAYBE.
HE CARES!
YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU'RE GOIN'
THROUGH A LOT OF STUFF RIGHT NOW,
BUT, MAN,
YOU'RE HITTING IT HARD,
AND YOUR
GRANDFATHER'S RIGHT.
IF YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER
WERE ALIVE RIGHT NOW
AND THEY SAW
THE WAY YOU ARE
IT WOULD BREAK
THEIR HEARTS.
WELL, THEY'RE NOT!
LISTEN, I'M SORRY,
UNCLE NICK, ALL RIGHT?
I KNOW.
JOEY, LISTEN.
WE'RE FAMILY.
LEAN ON US.
THAT'S WHA WE'RE HERE FOR.
ALL RIGHT,
THANKS, UNCLE NICK.
IT'S JUST SOMETHIN'
I GOTTA DO ON MY OWN.
ARE YOU DRUNK AGAIN?
YEAH, YOU'RE DRUNK.
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?
WAITIN' UP FOR ME?
YES, I'M WAITING UP
FOR YOU.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'RE GONNA COME HOME
OR IF THEY'RE GONNA
FIND YOU DEAD SOMEWHERE.
- I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS AGAIN.
- YOU CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS?
I DID NOT RAISE YOU
TO BE A LOSER.
YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE--
THIS IS HOW
YOU PAY ME BACK?
THIS IS HOW YOU SMEAR THE
MEMORY OF YOUR PARENTS.
YOU'RE PUSHING ME
TOO FAR THIS TIME.
OH, REALLY?
MAYBE THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED
TO WAKE THE FUCK UP!
YOU KNOW WHAT, GRAMPS?
I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU, ALL RIGHT?
YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER,
YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER,
SO THANKS FOR THE LIFE YOU GAVE
ME, BUT STAY THE FUCK OUT OF IT!
WELL, THEN YOU GE THE FUCK OUT!
IF YOU CAN'T MAN UP!
I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE.
I JOINED THE MARINES
TO BE LIKE YOU.
I'M SO SORRY!
I'M SORRY TOO, JOEY.
I JUST WANTED YOU
TO BE PROUD OF ME.
I AM.
I'M PROUD.
BUT I'M SCARED.
I'M JUST TRYIN' TO GET THROUGH TO YOU.
I DON'T KNOW HOW.
I JUST NEED SOME TIME.
PLEASE JUST GIVE ME
SOME TIME.
- HEY, SWEET SUE.
- HEY, MAX.
- HI.
- YO!
- WHAT'S UP?
- AH, NOTHING, MAN.
- HOW'VE YOU BEEN?
- STILL BREATHING.
- HOW'S WORK?
- IT'S TOUGH.
YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU'RE IN THE SERVICE,
YOU KNOW THAT SOMEONE
ALWAYS HAS YOUR BACK.
WELL, THAT'S HOW
WE SURVIVE.
YEAH, BUT WHEN YOU GET BACK,
THAT'S DONE.
EVERYONE'S OUT FOR
THEMSELVES.
YEAH, TELL ME ABOUT IT.
HOW YOU MAKING OUT?
HE'S HELPING YOU?
AH. YOU KNOW,
THE TRUTH IS SOMETIMES
WHEN THINGS ARE BROKE,
THEY CAN'T BE FIXED.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?
DON'T TELL ME
YOU'RE THINKIN' OF QUITTIN'!
THAT'S IT?
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
OH, COME ON, JOE.
DON'T TALK LIKE THAT.
NOTHIN'S EVER THAT BAD.
GUYS!
OH, MY GOD, LAURA.
YOU LOOK FANTASTIC.
THE DOC SAYS HE DOESN'T NEED
TO SEE ME FOR ANOTHER MONTH.
OH, I'M GONNA MISS
THAT SMILE.
YEAH, RIGHT?
SEE? SOMETIMES YOU WORK
HARD ENOUGH AT SOMETHIN'
AND SOMETIMES YOU WIN.
YOU SEE? SOME THINGS
THAT ARE BROKE CAN BE FIXED.
YEAH, BUT I HEARD THE WOUNDS
YOU CAN'T SEE ARE THE WORST.
AND I BELIEVE IT.
- HOW YOU FEELIN'?
- I'M ALL RIGHT.
I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD'VE
STARTED MUCH SOONER.
YEAH, ME TOO.
I WISH YOU HAD.
CAN'T SAY I'M LIKING
THE WAY YOU LOOK.
GOTTA DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THIS WARDROBE.
YOU LOOK LIKE
A SWAMP HOG.
WHAT ARE YOU,
A THERAPIST OR A STYLIST?
YOU COULD TIGHTEN IT UP.
WOULDN'T HURT.
WHAT DOES IT MATTER
WHAT I LOOK LIKE?
- IT'S ALL ONE-SIDED ANYWAY.
- HOW SO?
YOU DO EVERYTHING
YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU TO DO
AND THEY JUST LEAVE YOU...
HANGIN'.
YOU CAN'T KEEP
ASSIGNING BLAME.
YOU KNOW?
WE DON'T DEAL IN
HALF TRUTHS.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THAT.
YEAH.
HOW'S YOUR GRANDPA?
UH, HE'S ALL RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, OUR RELATIONSHIP'S
STRAINED, THOUGH.
STRAINED, HUH?
YOU ADDING TO THAT?
THIS FUNNY THING LOVE.
IT'S ALL A PART OF IT,
ISN'T IT?
THE SUPPORT PROCESS.
OR WHATEVER
THE HELL IT IS.
COME ON,
HAVE A SEAT.
WHAT'S UP, GRAMP?
NEED A HAND?
NAH, I GOT IT.
BUT I CAN USE THE COMPANY.
AH, IT'S NO PROBLEM.
I GOT NOTHING GOING ON
ANYWAY.
HOW WAS THE SESSION?
AH, IT WAS ALL RIGHT,
I GUESS.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
I DON'T KNOW.
I WISH I DID.
WELL, YOU JUS HANG IN THERE.
BY NOW YOU KNOW THAT SOME
SESSIONS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS,
BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS YOU'RE
GETTING THE HELP THAT YOU NEED.
I JUST-- I HOPE
IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE.
I TOLD YA.
I HAD A TOUGH TIME
WHEN I GOT BACK FROM VIETNAM.
YEAH, BUT THAT'S THE THING.
YOU NEVER TALK ABOUT IT.
NO, I KNOW, BUT NOW WE HAVE
MORE IN COMMON.
OH, MAX.
- HEY, WHAT'S UP, JOE?
- WHAT'S UP, MAN?
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU
AGAIN, MR. C.
- IT'S RAY.
- RAY.
IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU, MAX.
YOU LOOK GOOD.
THANK YOU.
I FEEL GOOD.
ME AND SOME FRIENDS ARE
GOING OUT TONIGHT. YOU IN?
AH, I DON'T KNOW, I THINK I'M
GONNA JUST CHILL IN TONIGHT.
I'M NOT REALLY
IN THE MOOD.
JOE, IT'S GONNA BE FUN.
YOU SURE?
NAH, I'M GOOD, MAN. I'LL
CATCH YOU NEXT TIME, THOUGH.
- OKAY.
- ALL RIGHT?
LET ME KNOW
IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND.
ALL RIGHT, MAN.
I APPRECIATE THE INVITE.
BYE, MR. C-- UH, RAY.
GREAT DUDE, MAN.
JOE, YOU CAN GO WITH THEM.
WE'LL TALK
ABOUT THIS LATER.
NAH, I THINK WE SHOULD
HAVE THAT TALK NOW.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
SURE.
SO, GRAMP, HOW COME YOU NEVER
TALK ABOUT YOUR TIME AT WAR?
ALL YOU EVER SAY IS YOU
SERVED YOUR COUNTRY, PERIOD.
COMBAT IS A HARD THING
TO GET YOUR HANDS AROUND.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND,
EVEN THOUGH THEY THINK THEY DO,
AND I KNOW
THEY WANT TO,
BUT UNLESS THEY'VE ACTUALLY
BEEN THERE THEMSELVES,
THEY JUST DON'T.
LIKE I SAID, YOU AND ME
HAVE MORE IN COMMON NOW.
WE BOTH SERVED.
BUT MORE THAN THAT.
I HAD PTSD
BEFORE THEY CALLED IT THAT.
- YEAH?
- OH, YEAH.
FLASHBACKS.
NIGHTMARES, PANIC ATTACKS.
HOW BAD WAS IT?
YOUR GRANDMOTHER AND I SLEP IN SEPARATE BEDS FOR TWO YEARS.
WHY?
I CHOKED HER IN HER SLEEP
ONE NIGHT.
I HAD MY HANDS
AROUND HER THROA AND SHE WAS TURNING BLUE
WHEN I WOKE UP
AND REALIZED
WHAT I WAS DOING.
HOLY SHIT.
I HAD NO IDEA.
DID MOM AND DAD KNOW?
THEY KNEW I WAS A MARINE.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ELSE.
YEAH, WELL, HARRY SAID
HE KNEW YOU FROM THE V.A.,
BUT HE REALLY DIDN' GET INTO IT.
YEAH, BUT THAT'S COMMON.
MOST GUYS DON'T LIKE
TO TALK ABOUT IT.
AND WHEN THEY DO, IT'S USUALLY
ABOUT THE GOOD TIMES.
YEAH, BUT HOW'D YOU
GET THROUGH IT?
I FOUND THAT, FOR ME,
THE BEST THING WAS
I KEPT IN TOUCH
WITH MY MARINE BUDDIES.
THEY UNDERSTOOD ME.
THEY REALLY HELPED ME
GET THROUGH IT.
YEAH.
YEAH, I CAN SEE THAT.
YOU KNOW,
MAX HELPS ME OUT A LOT.
THAT'S A GOOD THING.
YOU KNOW,
I STILL KEEP IN TOUCH
WITH SOME OF THOSE GUYS
EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME.
IT'S A LIFELONG BOND.
ROGER THAT.
SO'S A FAMILY'S LOVE.
YEAH, BUT, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S DIFFERENT.
NOT AS DIFFEREN AS YOU THINK.
I WILL ALWAYS
HAVE YOUR BACK.
I KNOW, POP.
I KNOW.
WANT TO COME BY
AND WATCH THE GAME LATER?
YEAH, DEFINITELY.
WHAT TIME?
I THINK THE START TIME'S 8:00,
SO COME BY 7:30.
WE GONNA EAT?
YEAH.
I'LL ORDER, UH--
I'LL ORDER PIZZA OR CHINESE,
WHATEVER YOU'RE IN THE MOOD FOR.
WHATEVER, WHATEVER.
I MIGHT WANT SANDWICHES.
UH.
YOU KNOW, YOU SUCK.
NOW THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT.
NO, I DIDN'T MEAN I LIKE THAT.
- I MEANT BASKETBALL.
- I KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT.
YO, I THOUGH YOU WERE SERIOUS.
HEY.
MAXI PAD.
WHO'S YOUR NEW GIRLFRIEND?
RELAX.
THE KID'S NAME IS JASON.
HE'S BEEN DOING THA TO ME SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU LET THA SHIT ROLL OFF YOUR BACK, MAN.
IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
NO, YOU DON'T DESERVE THAT.
YOU DON'T DESERVE THAT.
JOE?
WHAT THE FUCK, JOE?
YOU CAN'T TALK TO ME NOW?
I REALLY MISS THEM.
I'M GLAD THEY'RE NOT HERE
TO SEE ME LIKE THIS.
YOUR PARENTS MUST HAVE BEEN
WONDERFUL PEOPLE.
YEAH, THEY WERE.
ESPECIALLY MY MOM.
YOU KNOW, I LOVE MY FATHER,
BUT MY MOM....
YEAH, SHE GOT ME.
SHE WAS SO COMPASSIONATE.
SHE'D KNOW WHAT TO DO TO STEER
ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
SHE'D KNOW
THE RIGHT THING TO SAY.
SHE ALWAYS DID.
LIKE I SAID.
YOU'RE DIFFERENT WHEN
YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR MOM.
WHAT'S THE STORY
WITH YOUR DAD?
MY DAD?
HE WAS JUST LIKE
MY GRANDFATHER, YOU KNOW.
NOTHING'S EVER
QUITE GOOD ENOUGH.
AND HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
HE WENT THROUGH IT HIMSELF.
YOU GOT TO GIVE HIM
A BREAK
BECAUSE HE'S A GOOD MAN,
AND HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH.
WHAT'D YOU COME HERE FOR?
TO PISS ME OFF?
LET'S JUST SAY I KNOW THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE,
AND I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN ANGER
THAT YOU FEEL
FUELED BY LOVE OR HATE.
OH, YOU DO?
WHAT, ARE YOU TRYING
TO BECOME A THERAPIST NOW?
MAYBE. WHY NOT?
THEY MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.
I COULD SPECIALIZE
IN GAYS COMING OUT.
YEAH, RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, I ALMOST WENT TO JAIL
BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR CAUSE.
OH, NOW, YOU DIDN' HAVE TO GET VIOLENT.
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO PUSHED ME
ASIDE AND THEN RAN OVER THERE.
I WASN'T GONNA
HIT HIM, THOUGH.
WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO,
GO GET A GAME OF PARCHEESI?
- HOW ABOUT DISCUSS IT?
- COME ON.
YOU EVER HEARD
OF DISCUSSING IT?
- DISCUSS IT?
- YEAH.
WITH THOSE ASSHOLES?
NO FUCKING WAY.
ALL RIGHT? THEY DESERVED
EVERYTHING THEY GOT.
BESIDES, THEY HAD NO IDEA
WHAT LAURA WENT THROUGH
OR THAT WE WENT TO WAR
FOR HIS FUCKING RIGHTS.
SO YOU HIT HIM
WITH A BOTTLE.
JOE, JOE, JOE.
YOU HAVE TO--
YOU HAVE TO CHILL.
I MEAN, YOU GOTTA
PUT YOUR MIND IN A GOOD PLACE.
YOU GOTTA RELAX.
YOU CAN'T BE MAD AT THE WORLD
ALL THE TIME.
- DOCTOR MAX.
- YOU LIKE THAT.
I'M PROUD OF YOU, MAN.
I KNOW.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW YOU'RE ALWAYS SO CALM.
I REALLY DON'T.
IT'S EASY.
YOU JUST HANG OUT WITH SOMEBODY
MORE FUCKED UP THAN YOU.
YEAH, RIGHT.
OH, MAN.
WELL, I APPRECIATE
YOU COMING, MAN.
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.
- YOU READY?
- YEAH.
EXPOSURE THERAPY
IS ABOUT GETTING DOWN
TO YOUR PERSONAL HISTORY,
YOU KNOW?
THERE'S NO OUT.
WHY DO YOU KEEP AVERTING
TO THESE OPINIONS, HUH,
ABOUT YOUR OWN SELF WORTH?
I TOLD YOU ALREADY.
OKAY, INDULGE ME.
I COULDN'T TALK TO SARAH
WITHOUT HER MENTIONING MARRIAGE.
YOU KNOW, I COULDN'T HOLD
A CONVERSATION WITHOUT HER
SAYING WE SHOULD HAVE KIDS.
MISSED OPPORTUNITIES
TO GO TO WAR.
I CAME BACK,
I WASN'T THE SAME GUY.
I HAD TO PUSH HER AWAY
A LITTLE.
SO YOU DON'T WANT TO GET MARRIED
OR YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE KIDS?
OR MAYBE YOU JUS WANT TO THROW ALL THAT--
I DON'T DESERVE IT.
WELL, HERE WE GO AGAIN.
I OPENED THE DOOR.
JOSEPH, DO YOU CARE
ABOUT THIS GIRL?
I MEAN, YOU LOVE HER?
YOU MISS HER?
DOES SHE KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED OVER THERE?
- NO.
- WHY NOT?
CAUSE SHE DOESN'T NEED
TO KNOW ALL THAT STUFF.
YOU DON'T THINK
SHE DESERVES TO?
I DON'T KNOW.
DO YOU TALK?
NO, I THOUGHT IT WAS BETTER
IF WE DIDN'T TALK.
CAN YOU CALL HER?
I MEAN, WHAT'S TO LOSE?
MAN, YOU DON'T STOP,
DO YOU?
OH, I'M STARVING, MAN.
- FOOD'S HERE.
- IS IT?
- WOW, THAT WAS FAST.
- HI, GUYS. HERE YOU GO.
- THANK YOU. -HOW COME
YOU GOT THE SAME THING?
I GOT THE CHICKEN, THOUGH.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
YOU GUYS NEED OR ARE YOU OKAY?
- OH, NO, THANK YOU.
- OKAY, COOL. ENJOY.
- THANK YOU.
- YOU'RE WELCOME.
YO, SO THE DOC THINKS
I SHOULD CALL SARAH,
OPEN UP TO HER,
AND PART OF ME
WANTS TO,
AND THE OTHER PART OF ME'S
TELLING ME,
"EH, IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA."
MAYBE THE DOC'S RIGHT.

THE DOOR IN MY FACE?
YOU TURN AROUND
AND YOU LEAVE.

ME AND YOU,
WE'RE SURVIVORS.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

THIS SHOULD BE NO SWEAT.
IT'S GREAT KNOWING SOMEONE
WHO UNDERSTANDS ME.
I FEEL LIKE THERE'S NO NEED
FOR A TRANSLATOR.
NO, YOU'RE RIGHT.

WE CAN ONLY OFFER CHOICES.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SIR.
JOE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
NO, I'M JUST--
JUST LOOKING.
AS OF NOW, THE DOORS TO THIS
PLACE ARE NO LONGER OPEN TO YOU.
YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE ANYMORE
TILL YOU GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.
THAT'S NOT COOL, MAN.
LOOK, KID,
GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILY.
YOU HAVEN'T CROSSED
ANY LINES YET.
MR. FAZIO...
I'M SORRY.
WHEN DID YOU
GET IN LAST NIGHT?
DON'T KNOW.
DON'T CARE.
JOEY, YOU REALLY NEED
TO PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER,
GET PAST THIS.
I KNOW THAT MAX
WAS YOUR DEAR FRIEND,
BUT YOU HAVE
TO MOVE FORWARD.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
I KNOW THA YOU HAVE TO MOVE ON.
I KNOW THAT YOU DID IT ONCE
BEFORE AND YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN.
I DON'T THINK
I CAN MOVE ON.
YES, YOU CAN.
LISTEN, JOE.
YOU NEED TO TAKE CHARGE
OF YOUR LIFE.
NOBODY ELSE
CAN DO THAT FOR YOU.
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
I'M SCARED.
WHY DON'T WE
EASE INTO THINGS?
SHAVE, GET DRESSED,
THAT'LL BE THE FIRST STEP.
SMALL STEPS.
SURE.
SMALL STEPS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
- CAN WE TALK?
- ABOUT WHAT?
HAVEN'T YOU HURT ME ENOUGH?
LOOK, I'M SORRY FOR BEING
SUCH A JERK, ALL RIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW, JOE.
I CAN'T LET YOU
KEEP STEPPING ON ME.
I KNOW, ALL RIGHT?
AND I'M SORRY.
I JUST THINK
WE SHOULD TALK.
- I DON'T KNOW.
- DIDN'T YOU ONCE TELL ME
I SHOULDN'T BE GOING THROUGH
THIS ALL ALONE?
COME IN.
I DID THINGS THERE
THAT I'M NOT PROUD OF.
YOU KNOW, THINGS
I CAN'T GET OUTTA MY HEAD.
I'M SORRY
I TOOK IT OUT ON YOU.
I STUCK WITH YOU
ALL THIS TIME
AND YOU STILL FEEL THAT YOU
HAVE TO HIDE THINGS FROM ME?
JOE, YOU NEED
TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.
THERE'S JUST CERTAIN THINGS
YOU SHOULDN'T HEAR.
WELL, I WANT TO HEAR IT ALL.
HELLO?

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, THEN.
JUST HAVE HIM CALL

LOOK, I TOLD YOU THINGS
I WASN'T COMFORTABLE WITH.
I DON'T WANT YOU
THINKING OF ME DIFFERENTLY.
NO.
NOW I UNDERSTAND.
I'M GLAD
YOU OPENED UP TO ME.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE CAME AT YOU
LIKE THAT, AND, WELL,
- IT'S OVER NOW.
- IS IT?
SOMETIMES WHEN THINGS ARE BROKE,
THEY CAN BE FIXED.
YOU'RE LEARNING
TO LIVE WITH IT?
I'VE BEEN DOING
A LOT OF THINKING LATELY.
OH, YEAH?
ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT BEING A HUSBAND
AND A FATHER.
I THINK I WOULD HAVE
BEEN GOOD AT IT.
I THINK SO, TOO.
I'VE MISSED THIS,
YOU KNOW.
I'VE-- I'VE MISSED US.
TALKING ABOUT A FAMILY AND...
I DON'T WAN TO PUT MY COAT ON.
ONE DAY YOU'LL
HAVE YOUR OWN KIDS.
THEN YOU'LL UNDERSTAND.
THESE ARE REALLY GOOD.
YOU SHOULD TRY 'EM.
- I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
- OKAY.
