Life as a House Edit

A beer?

A friend of yours is here.

A leg, two fingers, one rib, and a mild concussion.

About time.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Adam, pass me that.

After you.

All I am is what I have.

All I want is for you to remember...

All right, I'm just saying it beats...

All right, maybe it's not what he wanted...

All right, well, don't forget your front.

All right.

All we gotta do is sand and paint the cabin.

Almost finished.

Almost ready?

Alyssa said you two don't even have plumbing over there.

Alyssa.

An exhaust system or a window is code.

And all that does, the only thing...

And he's filed to have construction stopped...

And hide those De

And I don't take a shower in the middle of the yard!

And I got to drill a hole through a board...

And I just want you all to know that if I hear...

And I'd hate for the boys to be bored, you know.

And I'm gonna cash in my life insurance policy.

And if he couldn't...

And if I enclose it?

And in.

And it struck me, strong as anything ever has

And just sort of float out to Catalina.

And nobody said a thing about it.

And now you're doing it, too.

And stay out of your way.

And that is what I believe, George.

And the last because I wasn't sure I really loved you.

And the life of a little girl forever with that mistake.

And then I chickened out again.

And there's no makeup at my house.

And throw his arms around me.

And video games after!

And we got to take all the old paint off.

And where have you been for a week?

And you can tell him not to look at you if you want.

And you don't have a job.

And you know that lncan Village is the place...

And you seem to be going through them pretty quick, that's all.

And you told Mom today.

And you're a miserable human being.

And your appeals to city council...

And...

Are you going to kiss me?

Are you staying for dinner?

Are you sure that you're totally into guys?

Are you sure we need lawyers?

Are you sure you want to do this?

Are you talking?

Are you totally insane?

Are you wearing eye makeup?

Are you wearing sunscreen?

Are your hands clean?

As many times as you can stand to hear it...

Atonement.

Ballpark figure.

Barbara, Tom.

Be hardly recognizable to you.

Beat it! Get outta there! No, wait.

Beats working.

Because Dad left?

Because he'll be gone for his birthday.

Because I'm not leaving till I hear it.

Because it seems absolutely blissful here tonight.

Because there is no fucking deal.

Because those pills that you're taking are for a lot of pain.

Because you don't even own a computer.

Because you don't have anything to promise.

Because you fucking pulled it off.

Been thinking about the job, man?

Been through design review...

Before he'll give you any satisfaction.

Beg your pardon?

Benson Kitter Architecture. Can I help you?

Benson, Kitter, Fein, Silver and Associates.

Benson, Kitter, Fein, Silver and Associates.

Between where you cook and where you crap.

Bob Larson, city inspector.

Brace it.

Bro, I need you tonight.

Build a house.

Build this house with me.

Burke bid out the Berlin Plaza. Did he tell you?

But at least we'd have a house to show for it.

But I got 'em to twenty six, OK?

But I still had to be smaller.

But I'm leaving in the morning.

But it won't be because of Peter.

But it's what he was hoping for.

But still, it would've hurt like hell.

But then we're just gonna be friends, OK?

But there's less and less for Ryan and Adam to do...

But they love coming here, George.

But they're a part of the firm.

But you lied to me.

But you won't change.

But you've earned it.

But...

Can I get you something to drink, Josh?

Can I hate you, too?

Can I help you please?

Can I take you out?

Can it wait till I can say no and sound convincing?

Can you build a house in four months?

Can't stand it.

Changed my life...

Check the permits.

Close your eyes.

Coleen!

Coleen. Hello?

Come here, Guster!

Come here, Guster!

Come here. Lick it.

Come on in. Have a seat.

Come on, George. Let's see if you've gotten any better.

Come on, Sam. I'm begging, OK?

Come on!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. It bugs me.

Come on. Who's gonna dance with me?

Come over to my house whenever you want.

Come to daddy.

Dad said it first.

Dale.

David Dokos.

Definitely. Here, buckle up.

Depends on what I'd give up on.

Did Sam call to tell you he won't be over this weekend?

Did you feel anything?

Did you go through my pants?

Didn't you once dream that you could lick people well?

Do I still love you?

Do you believe that?

Do you drive a black Lexus?

Do you have an unenclosed toilet...

Do you have to have surgery on it or what?

Do you know what it's like...

Do you like garlic bread?

Do you mind bringing the house up to my office?

Do you mind if we steal just a moment of your time?

Do you need help?

Do you need to ask me like that?

Do you really think I told him he could put a hole in his face?

Do you remember me?

Do you remember?

Do you think it's odd your kids don't hug you?

Do you want a ride? Maybe see a movie?

Do you want to help us out?

Does Alyssa know?

Does everything have to have a point?

Does she have to come?

Doesn't necessarily have much to do with reality.

Dokos?

Don't be.

Don't even think about it.

Don't even. I'm there.

Don't.

Done? Close to done?

Dude, I was in total REM.

Dude, nice look.

Eating red meat?

Enough for drinks, popcorn, and candy.

Even in the bush, tribal people don't like that.

Even when he is, he isn't.

Even your anger is perfect.

Every single one of them, OK?

Every single second with him.

Everyone gets touched by somebody they love.

Everything about you is my business

Everything happens for a reason.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Feel free to pitch in anytime.

Finally gonna build something of my own.

Find somebody?

Finish it, Sam.

Finished or unfinished?

First time I did it, younger than you...

Five, ten pounds. Haven't been very hungry.

Floating to Catalina.

For a girl.

For Christmas lights with a switch inside.

For the first time in his entire life.

Forget him.

Forget it, really. I'll survive.

Four days.

Friday. Tomorrow.

From what you used to be anyway.

From when you lived here before?

Fuck you.

George is paying Sam ten dollars an hour.

George Monroe?

George would be more comfortable if he wasn't dying.

George, good morning.

George, I've recruited help for the roof.

George, l...

George, Mr. Burke would like to see you.

George, this is not me.

George, this is the third time.

George, wake up.

George, what are you talking about?

George, you son of a bitch! This is your fault!

George, you're too thin

George! I'm gonna kill you for this!

George?

Get off!

Get the slightest inkling that you might want to help me...

Get! Go on! I'm gonna get you.

Getting high, I guess.

Go away!

Go fuck yourself.

Go tell your dad dinner's ready.

Go!

God !

God, it sounds pathetic, doesn't it?

God!

Going on?

Good for you.

Good for you.

Good night.

Good. I was hoping you would.

Good. It's fixed.

Got a presentation to make.

Guess he doesn't have it in him.

Guess how many low income apartments...

Guster, come here.

Guster.

Hand me a towel.

Has he eaten anything at all?

Hating what you are.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice flight.

Have a seat.

Have him put it on a separate line.

Have you ever had anyone besides your mom or dad...

Having me here, trying to get me to like you.

He asked if you'd go watch.

He can hate me. You can hate me.

He can try to kill me while I'm sleeping!

He could be almost invisible as a human being...

He doesn't want to spend the weekends with you anymore.

He escaped. Now he's back in.

He even let me choose the color I like best.

He had his head on my shoulder, and we were laughing.

He had salt in his eyes, I think.

He has an attorney on retainer.

He has nothing to worry about.

He is not spending the entire summer...

He jumped into the ocean.

He likes the look of the computer models better anyway.

He loved that.

He loves it.

He needs a man.

He never answers.

He said he heard hammering.

He said he loved me.

He wanted you to keep it and live in it someday.

He wants the whole roof taken down and lowered.

He was passed out.

He'll call us again, and then he'll call the police.

He'll make you tear the entire roof off...

He's a fuckin' freak.

He's at work while I'm here.

He's got a standing invitation.

He's holding on so tight.

He's in the bedroom.

He's insane.

He's my son. He's sixteen.

He's never there.

He's not gonna do it, Josh.

He's not the type to worry.

He's not there.

He's so scared but loving it.

Hello!

Hello?

Here comes a big one!

Here you go.

Here.

Here.

Hey, Dad, the electrician needs to know

Hey, Guster.

Hey, Mom, did you know George before you knew Dad?

Hey, you ! Kid !

Hey! That is mine.

Hey! Wait!

Hey! Where should I put this?

Hi, Alyssa. You want to build a house?

Hi, Bob.

Hi, Mom !

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Mom.

Hi.

Hi. George Monroe.

Hindsight.

His father's a man.

His parents took his car.

Home after.

How are you?

How do you become something that you're not?

How much time do they get to spend with their dad?

How much weight have you lost?

How you feeling?

How's your wife?

Hurt a little girl in the back seat, too.

I almost saw Catalina!

I always felt that I could never marry...

I always thought of myself as a house.

I became what I was meant to be.

I built my first model here when I was twenty five.

I built myself a house.

I built myself a life.

I can die trying.

I can tell you I love you...

I can't even take a shower here.

I can't go right now.

I could be anyone.

I could feel his heart pounding against my chest.

I could kiss you.

I could maybe ask them if you could choose one...

I couldn't walk in there, so he left.

I did tell you, didn't l, that I would be ready...

I didn't expect you today.

I didn't go in your room.

I didn't know. I'm sorry.

I didn't recognize you.

I don't beg.

I don't believe this!

I don't believe this.

I don't care if he ever comes back.

I don't care!

I don't even know what that means.

I don't even like turkey sandwiches.

I don't get it.

I don't have a phone anymore.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I don't know what it was

I don't know what that means.

I don't know what to do anymore.

I don't know, Corey. Let me think about it, OK?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. Maybe.

I don't know...

I don't let him. He just loves to.

I don't like it.

I don't think Mom cares that much that Peter left.

I don't think they'll be too much trouble.

I don't understand.

I don't want you smaller.

I don't want you to.

I dreamed about your house last night.

I fell asleep.

I fell in love with George again.

I flushed it down the toilet.

I gave up on you.

I get chocolate cake for your birthday.

I got a lot of work to do.

I got a lot of work to do.

I got to go.

I got to play one video game for three hours straight!

I guess I could teach you a few things.

I guess I would just be jealous if I were him.

I guess if you stay, I'll see you around.

I had a kink in my

I hate the thought of him home all day.

I hate this job.

I hate turkey.

I have a favor to ask.

I have hated this house from the moment my father...

I have some Demerol at home.

I have the permit.

I have three hours before I go get the kids.

I have to pay back what you flushed down the toilet.

I have to take a dump.

I have to talk to you.

I haven't done anything.

I haven't used anything in two days.

I heard you already.

I held the barrel right up to his ear...

I hired some help.

I hope I'm not the first to say this about you.

I hope this makes the pain in the ass...

I hope you're showered and ready for school.

I hope you're trying to make me stay away for my own sake.

I hope your ex husband's equipped for the havoc of Sam...

I just Josh kind of said

I just got moved to the head of the line.

I just wanted to know where my mom was.

I kept thinking about what you said, and...

I know my son, when he was younger...

I know the feeling.

I know they don't help much anymore...

I know what the deal is. Josh is a pimp. I'm not stupid.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I like how it feels not to feel.

I like your PJs!

I locked the door! Get out!

I locked the door.

I loved him too much.

I mean, all we're talking about is six inches, right?

I mean, George, we can't really keep our work.

I mean, hello!

I mean, Paula Cole isn't a vertical kisser.

I mean, you're here every single day.

I might not even stay anyway.

I might say a lot of things I've never said before.

I need some money.

I need that back. I had to work for that.

I need to ask you something, Mr. Monroe.

I need to know.

I never listened before.

I never won the game never.

I promise you, I'm gonna sue you and sue your dog!

I put a gun to my father's head once.

I read the letter. You read the will.

I really need to talk to Alyssa.

I really wanted to come. They wanted to be with me.

I remember I kissed his hair.

I remember once she made dinner for us wearing sunglasses.

I remember that.

I remember.

I see it in your eyes, in your sleep...

I should get the kids home.

I should go.

I should go.

I smiled at him.

I still don't know what it means.

I still think about that little girl.

I swear to God, by the time this whole thing's over...

I think he's still sleeping.

I think I may have a solution.

I think I'm gonna go home.

I think she needs to be alone right now.

I think she was terrified...

I thought he needed some help.

I thought I'd break my neck...

I thought maybe I could help, but...

I thought we were helping.

I thought you'd be up with the sun.

I took some of your Vicodin.

I took something. I'm fine.

I tried to call. Your phone isn't working.

I used to live here.

I used to rock you to sleep to this.

I want him with me.

I want it back. Where'd you put it?

I want Sam for the summer.

I want that thing out of your chin, OK?

I want to be around for that.

I want to know where it is now!

I want to show you something.

I want you in my bed now.

I want you to be happy. You're not.

I want you to find someone for me.

I want you to go give your dad a hug.

I want you to go straight to bed.

I want you to try something. With me.

I warned you yesterday.

I was always faithful in my love for you.

I was always what I lived in.

I was gonna start that on Monday.

I was here six years, and I only hated two.

I was holding for somebody else. It wasn't even mine.

I was just thinking about my mom.

I was trying to get you to love me.

I was up on that roof this morning tearing it down...

I was with Sam in the ocean...

I was wondering if I might pick a few to take home.

I was...

I wasn't trying to get you to like me.

I went for a small swim.

I went to my room.

I wish you'd talk to him.

I won't ever hit you.

I wonder where he's living?

I would've killed him.

I would've lied to myself if I thought I'd believe it.

I wouldn't let Adam or Ryan see you doing this.

I wouldn't make a habit of it.

I'd be dead from worry.

I'd be more comfortable if he slept in the guest room.

I'd be more comfortable if you hadn't slept with Josh.

I'd be you.

I'd blame you. I want you here.

I'd eat a lot of red meat.

I'd like it.

I'd like that.

I'd love to drive through New England in the fall.

I'd rather sell my nuts to a castrati.

I'd rather you not be here.

I'll apologize for everything but today!

I'll be by Saturday to pick him up.

I'll be in the bedroom.

I'll be there to check up on you.

I'll call the cops

I'll do it, if that's what you want.

I'll drop off your lunch tomorrow.

I'll find something that won't kill 'em.

I'll get your back.

I'll get your bag.

I'll hate you for the rest of my life.

I'll have to find it first.

I'll have to pay him back.

I'll keep this one if that's all right with you.

I'll look for it myself. You don't have to

I'll piss on his lawn.

I'll see you around.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I'll stop coming.

I'm afraid no one's allowed in there now.

I'm coming in.

I'm even talking. You wanna be around for that?

I'm going back to my house to wait for my lawyer.

I'm going for a walk.

I'm going to go to bed.

I'm going to spend the summer, OK?

I'm gonna own this house.

I'm gonna tear down the shack and build the house.

I'm happy today.

I'm having a problem with cancer.

I'm helping George with his house.

I'm his friend.

I'm not doing it.

I'm not even listening.

I'm not gay.

I'm not going.

I'm not taking a dump with you in here.

I'm nothin'.

I'm OK.

I'm on a lot of morphine right now.

I'm on the edge of a cliff, listening.

I'm painless.

I'm proud of you.

I'm scared.

I'm sorry.

I'm supposed to be in Tahoe.

I'm trying.

I've been dreading you.

I've been helping him the last few days.

I've been here twenty years.

I've been using since I was twelve!

I've been wrong a lot in my life.

I've ever had my nose around.

I've got every part of it ready. It's like a jigsaw puzzle.

I've never seen you so excited about anything.

I've not been touched in years.

If he hears a hammer, he'll have you arrested.

If he tricked me into loving him is what I meant.

If I asked you to stop, would you?

If I had a gun, I swear to God I'd kill you.

If I just walk out the door right now...

If I let everything that should worry me worry me...

If I say I do, I do.

If I weren't married...

If it is, we have a problem.

If it was my father, I'd want to spend...

If this rings, run.

If you were a house, Sam...

If you'd like to go for a ride?

If you're hungry, maybe we could...

Immediately.

In a matter of hours on the computer...

In a sock isn't exactly new, you know.

In here, honey.

In his neck.

In proximity to a kitchen?

In the garage.

In your answer to everything.

Instead of doing absolutely nothing?

Is Alyssa home?

Is Alyssa home?

Is George OK?

Is he breathing?

Is remind us... love is not enough.

Is that a bone sticking out?

Is that change can be so constant...

Is that I am what I say I am.

Is this like a pastime with people? Go away.

Is your back still killing you?

It can be so slow that you don't know...

It didn't even need to be beautiful.

It didn't need to be big.

It happened to me.

It just needed to be mine.

It was amazing.

It was built as a guest house.

It was never short enough.

It was perfect, George.

It was simple, whatever it was.

It was so real.

It was when my parents were down for his sixth birthday.

It won't be all work!

It won't happen again.

It would worry me.

It's a legally rentable unit.

It's at least a building code violation.

It's going down. That's it.

It's going to be good.

It's just a joke. Just a stupid joke.

It's just a little sad, that's all.

It's late.

It's like foresight without a future.

It's my stupid back.

It's not my back that's killing me.

It's not what I was expecting.

It's really late.

It's twenty five feet.

It's useful in court.

It's weird how different it is.

It's weird, isn't it?

It's...

Jerk.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Josh and I are actually going to South Coast.

Josh, what do you say? Is he in?

Josh, you look like you need a hug.

Just been yelling at my mom over...nothing.

Just can't stop thinking about her.

Just climb up there and tell him what he can and can't do.

Just come on up.

Just get in, get out as quick as you can.

Just how far out that window did you have...

Just in case, you know. I'm sure it'll be OK.

Just let mine ring.

Just please open the door when I knock.

Just so you know, we will be working on this house...

Just so you know.

Just tell me where it is.

Just the ones that really mean something to me.

Just try it.

Keep going.

Knock it down.

Kurt, is that you?

L your mother

L...put him to work.

Lasagna.

Left you?

Let them keep their eyes and fingers.

Let's get outta here, dude.

Let's see if you remember this.

Let's shut up and let her live.

Letting townfolk go down on you for the summer.

Lighten up, dude.

Listen to me.

Listen.

Long before.

Look at me.

Look, I thought we were just friends.

Look, I wasn't serious about you taking Sam...

Look, I will shock you so bad your tongue will turn black.

Look, I'd say you're in compliance.

Look, I'm afraid you're going to have to stop all this...

Look, I've seen lots of people. It's not a big thing for me.

Look, it just means I'm gonna shampoo my hair...

Look, why don't you go out there and look them over.

Lookin' good.

Looks like you got all you can handle.

Lt'll be because you told me to.

Lt'll take you twenty, thirty minutes.

Lunch? It's not breakfast yet.

Lunch.

Lunch.

Make him smile! Let him hate you for a while.

Make me smaller with words...

Make you something different in an instant.

May I help you, please? Yes, sir.

Maybe a tongue.

Maybe he wouldn't have killed my mom in the car crash.

Maybe I'll fix that shower for you.

Maybe it's what I want.

Maybe that's too long.

Maybe you can help, too.

Maybe?

Me, too.

Me!

Mind you, it was dark outside.

Mind your own fucking business.

Missed his height envelope by six inches.

Mom ! Where are you?

Mom said I should.

Mom said we could build a house.

Mom, please. Tell him !

Mom?

Mom.

Months.

More like when I kiss Sam.

More terrified of life without him.

Morning.

Mr. Burke would like to see you in his office.

Mr. Dokos claims your father...

Mr. Monroe, one of your neighbors is adamant...

Mr. Monroe?

Mrs. Beck!

Mrs. Kimble is in the backyard.

My attorney's driving down from Newport Beach...

My brothers say that it's the worst smell they've ever smelt.

My charm's gonna let me use my rod.

My dad used to play this game.

My dad's dying.

My dad's gonna let me use his boat.

My day off.

My exposure does not face your windows.

My father built you a house.

My father's family had a car accident with your family...

My legs or my pits this summer.

My mom would die.

My mouth is numb. I'm not sure.

My tongue around the edge of his ear is what cured him.

Next.

No "Are you in love with George?"

No "Fuck you." No "Good bye."

No food.

No glue sniffing, huffing...

No hot water.

No matter what.

No one realizes that he's not there.

No one's really said...

No pills, no grass.

No thanks.

No, come on.

No, George, don't! Shit!

No, he's not.

No, I'm fine. I'm OK.

No, it was actually more for me.

No, it's just

No, not really.

No, Sam.

No, she went out with some friends.

No, thanks.

No, thanks.
