- Rue, I didn't say anything!
- Then how the fuck does she know?
- What is she talking about?!
- LESLIE: Gia, you knew this?
- You knew she was doin' drugs?
- GIA: It's not like that.
Okay, you know what? If
you wanna fuckin' consider
smoking some weed to help with
my fucking panic attacks doing drugs
then, yeah, sure, whatever.
I was doin' fuckin' drugs.
Gimme a fuckin' break.
- You knew?
- [DOOR SLAMS]
- Don't slam my door!
- GIA: Mom!
Please tell her I didn't say anything
Can you guys chill the fuck out?
It's just weed.
LESLIE: I'm not talkin' about weed, Rue.
I'm talkin' about pills.
- What?
- LESLIE: I'm talking about opiates.
[YAWNS] I'm not doin' opiates, Mom.
- When did you start doing pills?
- LESLIE: Gia!
RUE: I didn't. I fuckin' didn't!
- I told you
- Gia
I thought it wasn't a good idea
Gia, please!
Let me handle this! Go to your room!
- Fuck it.
- Yeah, fuck it!
RUE: If you wanna drug
test me, let's just do it.
- I don't want to drug test you.
- Okay, so then, what?
You just wanna fuckin'
accuse me of shit?
I'm not accusing you, baby.
- Okay? But I know
- If you're so fuckin' sure,
let's do it! Come on, let's go.
Let's fuckin' drug test me.
I don't need to. Jules
told me everything.
The fuck did you do, Mom?
- Fuck! What did you do, Mom?
- Baby, please listen to me, okay?
Fuck. What did you do
with the fuckin' suitcase?!
- It's gonna be okay!
- What'd you do with the fuckin' suitcase?!
- Baby, it's gonna be okay!
- No, it's not
gonna be fuckin' okay! You don't know
Fuck! It wasn't mine!
- Then whose is it? Huh?!
- Fuck! Fuck!
Okay, look, look.
We can go to the hospital, okay?
I'm not goin' to a fuckin'
hospital! If you call
- Mom, Mom
- Look, we can do the withdrawal thing
- again, baby. It's okay.
- Don't call the fuckin' hospital.
If you try to put me
in a fuckin' hospital,
I swear to God,
we're gonna have a problem.
- Rue, no, you're out of control.
- Put the phone down.
Put the fucking Put
the fucking phone down!
Where did you put it?
Where'd you put my pills, Mom?
- Where did you put it?!
- You're in my way.
Get outta my way.
I'm callin' the police.
- No, you can't. You can't do that.
- Yes!
You will not attack me in my own home
I'll do whatever the fuck
I want in your own home!
I raised you!
I did, okay?!
And you do not fuckin' scare me!
[HEAVY BREATHING]
You're not a good person, Rue.
You smilin'?
Really? You're proud of that?
You know what's a shame, Mom?
My dad's dead.
Kinda keeps you from admitting
what a shit fuckin' mother you are.
[SCOFFS]
"Oh, poor Leslie.
"Her daughter's an addict,
but, you know, her dad did die."
You hear that, Gia?!
You hear that?
I don't wanna put too
much pressure on you,
but you're probably gonna have to be
a fuckin' neurosurgeon,
or maybe an astronaut
because if not, then
Mom is 0 for fuckin' 2,
and that means that it might, actually,
- just be her fuckin' fault.
- GIA: Rue
- Stop!
- Yeah, that means, maybe,
she, actually, fucked up!
- Okay, that's enough, Rue.
- RUE: To be fuckin' honest.
- That's enough.
- Don't fuckin' touch me!
Don't fuckin' touch me!
You wanna hit me?
- GIA: Shut the fuck up!
- Do it. Hit me!
- You're fucking
- I know you want to.
- Get the fuck off of me!
- Don't you fuckin' touch her!
- [SLAPS]
- Ow!
Get out! Get the fuck outta here!
- Get off of me!
- Get your
- [KICKING DOOR]

What did you do?!
[RUE PANTING]
RUE: Where are they?!
[SCREAMS]
You wanna tell me what to do
with my fuckin' life, huh?!
You wanna tell me to stop doin' drugs?!
[BANGING DOOR]
Huh, what the fuck else
am I supposed to do, huh?!
What do you want me to do?!
- What do you want me to fuckin' do?!
- [CRIES] Rue, please!
This is your fuckin' fault!
You don't fuckin' recognize
me? Well, neither do fuckin' I!
I don't fuckin' recognize me either!
Where did you put it? [GROANS]
You wish I was different?! So do I!
You fucking hate me?! So do I!
Where did you fucking put them?!
Fuck! Where'd you put it?
Where's the fuckin' suitcase?
Where's the fuckin' suitcase?
Fuck.
Where did you put it? Fuck.
[CRIES] Where did you
put the fuckin' pills?
Where did you put the pills?!
[CRYING]: Where did you put them, Mom?
[PANTING]
[PANTING, LAUGHS]
[RUE CRYING]
You, you don't understand,
Mom. It's not my suitcase.
[SOBBING]
It's not mine.
This is bad. This is really, really bad.
[CRYING]
I want to get clean. I can't do it.
And I just I don't
wanna be here anymore.
[SNIFFLING]
I'm sor I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you.
I, I just I don't know what to do.
I'm, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Gia.
I, I didn't, I didn't mean to.
[SHUDDERING, SNIFFLING]
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, but I need you
to tell me where they are.
I need you to tell me
where the pills are, Mom.
I need you to tell me
where the suitcase is.
[SNIFFLING]
Tell me where they are, Mom!
Fuck! Aah!
Where did you fucking put them?!
I know they're fuckin' in here,
Mom! I know they're in here!
What did you do with
them?! What did you do?!
Where the fuck are they?
What did you do with them?
JULES: We flushed 'em down the toilet.
LESLIE: You look embarrassed, Rue.
You embarrassed 'cause Jules
just heard everything you said?
Don't cry. Own that shit.
Own what you just said.
Fuck you.
[CHUCKLES]
[CHUCKLES] Oh, okay.
[PANTING, CHUCKLE]
I see what the fuck is goin' on here.
Well, first thing's first,
Elliot here is a fuckin' addict
so if he tells you
anything fuckin' different,
he's a liar and a fucking snake.
Fuck you!
- He cares about you
- Fuckin' bitch.
This doesn't fucking concern you, Jules.
- Yes, it does
- No the fuck it doesn't!
- Yes, it does.
- How?!
'Cause I don't want
you to kill yourself.
- You're a fucking rat!
- JULES: You were lying to me.
RUE: Yeah, so you go
tell my fuckin' Mom?!
JULES: I didn't know what else to do.
And why the fuck would you say anything?
[SCOFFS]
You are fuckin' dead to me.
- You don't mean that.
- I fucking mean every fucking word.
- You're dead to me, Jules.
- I don't believe you.
You and me, we're fuckin' done.
There's nothing fuckin' there anymore.
Nothing Fucking There.
You know, I have a lot
of regrets in my life.
But I gotta tell you,
Jules, meeting you,
has got to be at
the top of my fuckin' list.
Oh, now you wanna fuckin' cry?
Now you wanna fuckin' cry?
Yeah, you're a fucking vampire.
You just go around fuckin' sucking
the fucking spirit out of everyone!
You like that shit
makes you feel good.
- You know that's not true.
- RUE: It is fuckin' true.
It's all about fuckin' Jules, right?
And you don't know what
the fuck you're doing.
You just act all fuckin' innocent,
like you're this fuckin'
sweet little angel,
this innocent, sweet,
little fuckin' angel
who doesn't know what
the fuck they're doing.
You know what the fuck you're doing!
- JULES: I love you.
- No the fuck you don't.
You love being loved!
You're a fuckin' greedy whore
who just likes sucking
the life out of people.
And it fucking hurts, Jules!
- I love you.
- RUE: No, you don't.
Stop saying that! You don't love me!
You fuckin' left me
when I fuckin' needed you.
You fuckin' left me
when I was at my fuckin' lo
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
You fuckin' left me
at my fucking lowest!
And a real fuckin' friend,
someone who fuckin' loves you,
wouldn't do some shit like that, Jules!
[WRY CHUCKLE]
I love you and I want to help you.
RUE: If you wanna help me,
uh, you can honestly,
you can just stay out
of my fuckin' life
forever. [CHUCKLES]
That would be great because, honestly,
looking at you makes me
physically fucking ill!
- I'm sorry, baby.
- JULES: Okay.
ELLIOT: I shouldn't have said anything.
I liked Rue the way she was.
And this shit was never my place.
[RUE CRYING]
RUE: I feel like I'm going crazy, Mom.
- I feel like I'm going crazy.
- Look
- I wanna take you to the ER, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay. They can No.
- I'm sorry.
LESLIE: They can help you detox, okay?
RUE: Mom, I'm sorry for what I said.
I am. Please, forgive me.
LESLIE: I don't care about that, Rue.
I'm sorry.
- I just miss Dad.
- LESLIE: Me too, baby, me too.
- I miss him a lot.
- LESLIE: I know.
Me too.
[SHUDDERING BREATHS]
[DOOR OPENS]
- Oh, God.

[ENGINE STARTS]
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
[ENGINE RUMBLING]
[BANGING CONTINUES]
RUE: You wanna know the truth?
[CHUCKLES]
I relapsed as soon
as I got out of rehab.
[MUFFLED CONVERSATION]
LESLIE: thinkin' about
that right now, okay?
Let's just get you back into rehab.
RUE: Wait, what, what the
fuck you talking about, Mom?
I thought you said we
were going to the ER.
LESLIE: Yeah, baby, it's the same thing.
RUE: No, it's not the fuckin'
same thing, Mom.
[MUFFLED CONVERSATION]
[INAUDIBLE]
Five percent, okay?
Those are my fucking chances, one in 20.
LESLIE: All I know, if
you set your mind to it,
your chances are higher
than five percent.
Yeah, well, everybody's
Mom fuckin' says that, okay?
Even the ones who bury their kids.
[CHUCKLES]
It's funny 'cause
if you guys didn't do
this fuckin' intervention shit,
I was about a month
away from killing myself.
I have this image in my head
of me just, you know,
layin' in the sand, and
lettin' the wave just
kind of take me out to sea.
Ugh, fuck. Mom, I can't do
this. I can't, I can't do this.
You guys need to let me out of this car.
- I don't care
- RUE: I don't wanna fuckin' do this!

LESLIE: It's okay, baby,
we're almost there, okay?
RUE: It's not fuckin' okay, Mom!
LESLIE: Just Rue! Rue!
Can't do this. I'm sorry, Mom, I can't.

$2,000 right here um.
That's all I have right now.
Rue, why didn't you just pick up
the phone and tell me that?
You could've just said, "Laurie,
I don't have a dozen eggs,
I've only got eight."
- I was just worried.
- About what?
- That you would be angry.
- [MICROWAVE BEEPING]
You wanna know a funny thing about me?

gotten angry in my entire life.
Really?

Is that true?
Yeah, no, that's true.
I've never gotten angry.
[BIRD SQUAWKS]
You did lie to me, though.
You said you were sober.
- I was.
- Rue, you're lying to me again.
I know it might be hard to believe,
but I was a college athlete.
I was pretty tough,
and then I got injured.
And over the years, I had surgeries,
and I had screws put in my shoulder.
And then, eventually,
I got put on Oxycontin.
I was a school teacher by that time,
and I had a family.
You should've seen us.
We were, like, right
out of a Sears catalog.
I didn't even know it was
addictive until I ran out.
And that's when I learned
I would do anything to avoid withdrawal
'cause it's hell.
- You're going through hell, aren't you?
- Yeah.
- How much have you been doing?
- Forty mil.
You know, I wish you had
caught me earlier in the week
'cause I had a whole
assortment of things
that would've taken the pain away.
- Now, all I've got is morphine.
- I can take morphine.
I only have the intravenous,
and you don't fix, do you?
- No.
- Then, unfortunately, I can't help you.
Listen, I appreciate you coming here
with all this jewelry and stuff,
but you're gonna have to
pay the whole thing in cash.
- This isn't a pawn shop.
- I know. I'm sorry.
So, when do you think you're
gonna come up with the rest of it?
Um
Soon Really soon.
Rue, you don't look like
someone who's gonna come up
with money real soon.
You know, a doctor once told me
they did brain studies on people
who've done a lot of opiates,
and that over time,
all the chemicals in your brain
that make you happy and feel good
start to decrease because
your body's getting it artificially.
But the longer you use,
it just starts to weaken and wither,
kinda like a limb that's not
getting blood to it anymore.
And then, it just sort of falls off,
and you get something called cell death,
where you just have these big dead spots
in the parts of your brain
that used to make you happy.
No matter what you do,
you can't ever get it back.
He said it's basically the same brain
as people who've had major strokes.
But the silver lining
is that the things that
don't feel good don't
feel as bad anymore.
[BIRD SQUAWKS]
You know, if I was
going through withdrawal,
I would do anything.
It's one of the good
parts of being a woman.
Even if you don't have money,
you've still got something people want.
[SIGHS]
I think I'm gonna be sick.

ACTOR: [ON TV] He's taken the pills.
He'll be all right.
RUE: [STAMMERING] Are you
sure that this is safe?
LAURIE: All pharmaceuticals
are safe, Rue.
RUE: Okay, just I've
never done this before.
LAURIE: I know. It's gonna be
okay. Just give me your arm.
- RUE: Okay.
- LAURIE: Okay.
- Now, try to make a fist.
- Okay.
[RUE BREATHES HEAVILY]
[SHUDDERING]
LAURIE: Okay, I'm gonna
need you to be still, Rue.

[WINCES] I'm sorry.
LAURIE: Hold it steady, Rue.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
[RUE WINCES]
LAURIE: You know what's funny, Rue?
When I first saw you, I thought
this girl's gonna be in
my life for a long time.
[RUE'S BREATH STEADIES]
[MUFFLED HEARTBEAT]
Thank you.
[DEEP SIGH]
One day you will see
- Believe me
- [YOUNG RUE LAUGHING]
Believe me
[YOUNG RUE GIGGLING]
I I remember a couple of
days before you passed away
you told me
that if I ever wanted to be with you
all I would have to
do is close my eyes
and we'd be together.
ROBERT: Oh, I think she's moving.
She's moving.
- My sister.
- That's right! Your sister, yeah.
- Hi, Gia.
- Hi, Gia.
I'm with you
when I'm six years old,
and at the beach for the first time
jumping into the waves.
Can I have her?
ROBERT: Of course, you can have her.
She's your sister.
She'll always be your sister.
Okay, this is a hospital, okay?
Don't kiss the glass.
You said that
memories exist outside of time
and have no beginning or end.
You said as long as I live
you'll be with me forever.
I miss you, Dad.
I miss you till I close my eyes.
[SNIFFLING]
That's it.
Thank you.
