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.

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.

LESLIE: Baby Listen.
Can I take you to the hospital? - Yeah? - Yeah.
You want shotgun? [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! [CRIES.]
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.

Fuck.
Hi.
Ruby Bennett, I'm so happy to see you.
[SOFT ROCK PLAYING ON RADIO.]
[BIRD SQUAWKS.]
I, uh I don't have the money right now, but I, uh I brought this.
This, this is, like, a thousand dollars worth of jewelry, and, uh, I have, um $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? I don't think I've ever gotten angry in my entire life.
Really? LAURIE: Well, I don't know if that's true.
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.
[RUE VOMITING.]
[MICROWAVE BEEPS.]
[VOMITING CONTINUES.]
[CAWS.]
LAURIE: Oh, you poor kid.
Let me help you get cleaned up.
[WATER RUNNING.]
Okay, Rue, let's get you undressed, so you can get into this bath here, okay? RUE: Okay.
[RUE GRUNTING.]
RUE: Do you have any pills or anything? LAURIE: I don't have any pills, I'm so sorry.
RUE: Okay [RUE GRUNTING.]
RUE: Thank you.

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.
