- Provide reasoning:

24 Nic: Mad. I understand why I do things. It doesn't make me any different. I'm attracted to
craziness and you're just embarrassed because I was like this amazing thing, like your special
creation or something, and you don't like who I am now.
25 David: Yeah? And who are you Nic?
26 Nic: Defiant. This is me. Here. This is who I am. You don't like what you see? You know, the
more I think about it, Mom should have gotten custody. Because you always got to be fucking
controlling everything all the time.
27 David: Nic, you're allowed to be mad at me. I made mistakes. I wish I hadn't, but I did. But what
you are saying right now...it doesn't make any sense.
28 Nic: You're doing it right now!!! You are controlling me right now!!!
29 David: Loses his cool. This is not you. This is not you Nic. This is the drugs talking.
30 Nic: What does that even fucking mean?
31 David: Psychological terror! It's what addicts do.
32 Nic: Yeah? And what the fuck are you doing right now, huh? What is this? What are you
doing?...I didn't want it to go like this. Alright. I should go dad.
33 David: Let me book you a room at a hotel for a couple of nights?
34 Nic: No dad. No.
35 David: Why don't we just get some food?
36 Nic: I gotta go.
37 David: Will you say goodbye at least?
38 Nic: Bye, dad.

David: So how ya going?
2 Nic: I'm going great. OK. I'm just doing what needs to be done.
3 David: What does that mean?
Nic: Being responsible for myself. I've quit on my own. I've got five days now. I feel like I'm
doing well but I just need a few hundred bucks though.
5 David: Nic, I can't give you any money.
6 Nic: It's just a few hundred bucks. I just need to get some shit together. I want to go to New
York.
7 David: New York?
Nic: I need to get out of San Francisco, too many bad vibes here. I just need a few hundred
bucks.
David: Why don't we just have lunch. And talk. We can do that, can't we?
10 Nic: Getting a little mad and fidgety. How are Karen...and the kids?
(David: OK. They ask about you. Next week is their step-up ceremony. I'm sure they'd love you
to be there. I'd love you to be there...
2 Nic: See, you're guilt-tripping me...Look, dad, I already feel horrible about myself.
3 David: I know they wanted to you be there. That's all.
4 Nic: I'm sorry, dad, I just need some fucking money alright. So please...
15 David: And then what? Where does this end?
6 Nic: I don't know. It's kinda working out for me right now. You know, I gotta see this through. I
got five days sober...
7 David: It doesn't look like it's working.
(8 Nic: Oh it doesn't look like it's working out? So what then? Therapy?
19 David: You can come home. We'll make it work. Please Nic. Please.
Lo Nic: That wouldn't...No.
David: I've been doing some research.
Nic: Been doing fucking research?! You've gotta be kidding me, dad!
23David: You think you have this under control and I understand how scared you are.
