interior
scene , Karel Mental Hospital, the picture is black during the day .
Pat: What, are you kidding me? Sunday? I like Sunday. I live for Sunday. The whole family gathers together. Mother makes roulades with wine. Dad puts on the jersey. Let's watch the game together. Yes, it drives me crazy, yes, I used to be very negative.
The picture gradually appears.
Interior view, Karel Mental Hospital/Pat's room, with
Pat Solatano standing in the middle of the room during the day . Turn your back to the camera.
Pat: You didn't even know that I loved, Nikki, but I did. It's just that I didn't fully realize this before, and so are you.
There was a knock on the door.
Male nurse (voice-over): Hurry up. time to go.
Pat: Everything is over. I messed up. But you also have responsibilities. We can go back to the past. We will go back to the past. Everything will be fine now. I'm getting better, hope you get better too. I will realize --- the
knock on the door sounded again. Pat ignored it.
Pat: Hey, I'll come right away, okay?
Male nurse (voice-over): The doctor is waiting. Let's go.
Pat: I'm coming right away.
Pat (continues speaking): This is true love.
In Pat's room, the mayonnaise bottle was filled with water, the black garbage bag was thrown on the bed, and there was a sign on the wall with "Continuous Upward" handwritten on it.
Interior view, mental hospital/walkway,
Pat hurried downstairs during the day .
Interior view, mental hospital/pharmacy, during the day
Pat is holding a small paper box with pills.
He tilted his head back and poured the pill into his mouth.
He drinks water, opens his mouth wide, and sticks out his tongue to indicate that the pill has been swallowed.
Pat left, then spit out the pill. The pill fell to the ground.
Interior view, psychiatric hospital/room,
a group of patients sits in a circle with a doctor during the day , and group therapy discussions are taking place. Pat is among them.
Danny: At that time, I still had long hair. Everyone said, I talk too much about my hair.
Danny sat among the two male patients.
Danny: I just wanted to make my hair so long, but he cut my hair too short. He cut this side too short. I didn't let him cut it like that. I told him "When you cut it just like you cut..."
Pat: I think once you have the right mindset, everything is possible. I think we often fall into negative emotions and cannot extricate ourselves. This is a kind of poison.
Location, psychiatric hospital,
Pat exercises during the day — he drinks water from a plastic bottle of mayonnaise, squats, jumps, and does push-ups...
a woman’s feet step into the frame, not far from his face — He wears white flat sandals on his feet, and his toenails are painted red.
Pat looked at this foot---up his head---it
was his mother, Dorores Solatano, in a skirt.
Interior view, psychiatric hospital/aisle, during the day the
camera pans up a male doctor-Dr. Timbers. He walked with Dolores, and Pat followed them. The camera follows them.
Dr. Timbers: ...strictly speaking, you cannot take him away without our approval. If you take him away forcibly, you will have to bear a lot of legal responsibilities. He just got used to life here.
Dolores: I just don't want him to get used to life here. Eight months is long enough.
Interior view, psychiatric hospital/office, daytime

Dolores stopped the car.
Dolores: What? I do not know.
Pat: Mom, it's okay, it's okay.
Danny opened the back door of the car and got into the car with a suitcase.
Danny: I think everyone is leaving today! Hello, Mrs. Solatano. It's an honor to finally see you. Pat told me a lot about you. Your image is very vivid. You are the backbone of the family, bringing the whole family together. Not to mention the delicious marinade noodles you made on game day.
Location, highway, during the day
Dolores' car drove towards Philadelphia.
Interior view, Dolores' car, Daytime
Pat: Danny attacked someone else to get in because of drug and alcohol abuse.
Danny: It's not good to mix these two together.
Pat: Yeah. He also has anxiety.
Danny: I used to be an X-ray technician, and I suffered from attention deficit disorder and anxiety. I often have access to drugs, so I took advantage of my position. My hair was still very long at that time. My hair only grew when I was a little older. When I was a kid, my hair didn’t grow long, because my brother... (to Pat) remember I told you my brother, he has curly hair, I can’t get curly hair because my hair is not long enough . I am jealous of my brother...
Pat (to Dolores): He has always been tangled with his hair.
Dolores' cell phone rang. She was driving while listening to the phone.
Dolores (talking on the phone): Hello?
Pat (to Danny): It looks good now.
Danny: Do you like it?
Pat: It's good now.
Dolores (talking on the phone): Yes.
Danny (Pat touches Danny's hair): Hold on, you are touching the wrong direction!
Dolores (talking on the phone): What? are you sure? I will send him back immediately. (Hangs up) You lied to me, Pat. Danny was not allowed to leave.

Dolores: Pat, all of this is a mistake.
Pat: I'm sorry, mom. How are you?
Dolores: I'm in trouble for you now.
Danny: This is my fault. Pat didn't know it. Pat didn't know it. He is my friend, so he will support me. I have a disagreement with the hospital, but we are resolving the disagreement. Take me back to the hospital and take Pat home, he is fine. Believe me. He is all right. it's all my fault.
(Dissolve)
Interior, Dolores' car,

Interior view, Solatano's home/living room, during the day the
camera pans to the left of Pat's father, old Pat, and his neighbor, Randy.
Randy: Hurry up and tell me.
Old Pat: This is ridiculous. He dropped the ball on the yard line and touched the ground. Damn a yard line. Goal, idiot. I mean, he started celebrating before he entered the scoring zone!
Randy: Did you know? This is nothing new. Your team is always like this. They were close to victory...
Old Pat bent down and pulled out the restaurant design on the coffee table.
Randy: ...then messed up. They have a sense of inferiority.
Old Pat straightened up and turned to Randy.
Old Pat: Wait, what are you talking about? When did the Cowboys become the representative of the American team?
Randy: Because this is the case, we are the representatives of the US team.
Old Pat: You should be ashamed. This is Philadelphia, what's wrong with you? You damn traitor.
Randy: What's wrong with the Americans like the Cowboys?
Old Pat: Do you know what can better represent the United States?
Randy: What?
Old Pat: Benjamin Franklin, he can better represent the United States.
Randy: Benjamin Franklin?
Old Pat: Benjamin Franklin. The founder of this country was in Philadelphia.
Randy: The person you are talking about is...
Interior view, Solatano's house/foyer,
the front door of the house opened during the day , and Dorothy and Pat walked in.
Randy: ...with small glasses and long tousled hair?
Old Pat: How about using kites to attract thunder and lightning? He was standing in the storm holding a kite.
Randy: If he wasn't a $100 head, no one would even...
Pat's brother, a picture of Jack in a frame, hung on the wall. The camera pans to the side: Another frame once hung here —
Randy: ...will know who he is.
A picture of Pat in the frame fell on the coffee table below.
Old Pat: What are you doing? Don't move, don't move. Don't touch them, don't touch them.
Randy: I didn't touch it. Why are you... Don't always blame me.
Old Pat: Who did it? Who put...
Interior view, Solatano's house/living room, during the day
old Pat leaned over and straightened several remote controls on the coffee table.
Old Pat: ... put the remote control like this? Did you put it, Randy?
Randy: No, I haven't touched the remote control. Actually, I don't understand why you need so many remote controls. Hey, she's back! See how beautiful it is!
Old Pat (turning to see Pat): What? ! What's happening here? !
Randy: Hey.
Old Pat stepped forward and patted Pat's arm.
Old Pat: How is everything?
Pat (embarrassed, unconfidently): Yeah.
Old Pat: Ah.
Old Pat (hug Pat): Where is it?
Old Pat touched Pat's underwear.
Pat: Right here.
Old Pat: You still have it. We don't want you to lose it.
Old Pat pulled out a gold necklace from Pat's underwear.
Pat: Are you still keeping yours?
Old Pat: Of course, I also keep mine.
Old Pat (looking at Dolores): Why don't you tell me? You never told me to take him out.
Dolores: He is ready to come out. Look at him.
Pat: Didn't you tell Dad to pick me up?
Dolores: Don't worry about this.
Old Pat: I want to make sure if you were all right when you came out, she didn't say anything. (To Dolores) You didn't tell me?
Dolores: The court has approved it. do not worry.
Old Pat: But what did the doctor say? Because the court has to listen to the opinions of doctors.
Pat: The court said...
Old Pat: The court has to listen to the doctor's opinion, doctor...
Pat: Dad, don't worry. The court said it was all right, okay? Stop entangled.
Dolores: Don't worry.
Pat: Dad, I went there because of the court. It's because of the agreement we reached a few months ago. It is a plea agreement with the prosecutor. At that time, the lawyer instructed us to plead guilty. I needed to go there for eight months before I could come out.
Old Pat: Yes, but I just---
Dolores: Everything is back to normal.
Old Pat: Okay, okay. Congratulations.
Pat: Thank you. What are you doing now?
Old Pat: I plan to open a restaurant.
Sketch of the restaurant on the coffee table.
Old Pat: You can eat cheese steak.
Pat: How do you raise money?
Old Pat: I will find a way to raise money, don't worry about this.
Pat: Do you rely on being a betting broker?
Old Pat: Who told you?
Pat: Mom told me. Just outside.
Dolores: No. I did not say it.
Pat: Mom, you told me outside just now, why didn't you admit it? Five minutes ago, when we went upstairs, you said, "Dad is unemployed. Now I am a betting agent. Don't mention it to him."
Old Pat: Why, Dolores? Why tell him? (To Pat) It's okay, Pat. I care more about you than other things.
Pat: OK, Dad. very good.
Old Pat: Now there is a big question, what are you going to do?
Pat: What am I going to do? I want to stay in good condition and regroup for Nikki. I plan to read Nikki's syllabus and get back to work.
Old Pat: Nikki sold the house. she left. Didn't your mother tell you?
Pat: Let me tell you. You don't know anything about my marriage, Dad. Our marriage... We love each other very, very much, just like the two of you.
Old Pat: Listen, Pat, she's gone. She will never come back to you again. Nikki left.
Pat: What are you doing, Dad? do you know? Keep going up. Keep going up.
Old Pat: What does that mean?
Pat: Do you know what I would do? I will use all the negative factors as fuel, and I will find the happiness line behind the dark cloud (Note 1). This is what I want to do. I am not talking nonsense. I am not talking nonsense. This requires me to work hard, which is also true.

Interior view, Solatano's house/master bedroom,
old Pat was awakened at night .
(Cut to)
Pat walks around in his parents' bedroom.
Pat (screaming): I can't believe that Nikki actually told the children this book. I mean all the time — I will analyze it step by step for you — you have always supported the man named Hemingway, who survived the war and was with the woman he loved, Catherine Barkley. ...
His parents looked at him sleepily on the bed.
Dolores: Pat, it's four o'clock in the morning.
Pat: ...he did it. he made it. He was wounded by a shell in the war, but he survived. He and Catherine fled to Switzerland. Then Catherine became pregnant. Isn't this beautiful? She is pregnant. They should live a happy life when they fled to the mountains. They can taste wine and dance-they both like to dance with each other. There are fragments describing them dancing in the book. Although it is boring, I like it because they are very happy. Do you think he should finish here, right? no! He wrote another ending. She is dead, Dad! The world is hard enough, hard enough. Couldn't someone say, "Hey, let's be positive and optimistic, let's let this story have a happy ending."
Dolores: Pat, you should apologize to us.
Pat: Mom, I will not apologize for any reason. I will not apologize for this matter. Do you know what I will do? I will apologize on behalf of Ernest Hemingway, because he is to blame.
Pat walked to the door.

Pat: Okay. It is a stimulus. I should tell you now, I can't take medicine anymore.
Doctor Patel: You have to take medicine.
Pat: No, I won't take medicine anymore. Those medicines make me groggy---
Doctor Patel (interrupting him): No, you still have to take medicine.
Pat: Doctor, I don't want to take medicine. I am not a grumpy person. My father is irritable. I am not grumpy. During the Hawks game, he beat a lot of people in the stadium, was kicked out, and was also blacklisted. I have only had one accident.
Dr. Patel: An accident can change a life.
Pat: I'm ready. I am ready to take responsibility for my actions. She also needs to be responsible for her actions.
Dr. Patel: What is her responsibility?
Pat: What responsibility does she have? Are you kidding me? Now, let's talk about the accident. That day, I came home from work —
outside scene, Pat’s house, during the day, flashed back to the house where
Pat and Nikki lived. Pat's subjective point of view lens.
Pat (Voiceover): I got off work early—I’ve never got off work early before. By the way, I had a fight with the principal Nancy that day.
Interior view, clinic/Doctor Patel’s consulting room, daytime
Pat: I’m going home, and my wedding song is playing in the room. It’s the song you played to everyone here today. Although it was a bit unexpected, I didn't think much about it. It's strange, I should think more about it.
Interior view, Pat's house/living room, during the day, flashback
camera sweeps the floor and stairs, littering clothes everywhere.
Pat (voice-over): What did I see when I got home? I walked into the house and saw underwear, pieces of clothing, men's pants and belts. I walked up the stairs... the
song continued to play.
Interior view, clinic/Doctor Patel’s consulting room, during the day
Pat: Suddenly saw a DVD player...
Interior view, Pat’s house/corridor upstairs, during the day, the flashback
camera pushed a small music player close to it.
Pat (Voiceover): ...the CD in the DVD player is playing our wedding song. I lowered my head and saw my wife's... the
camera shook towards a pair of women's underwear on the floor.
Interior view, clinic/Doctor Patel’s consulting room, during the day
Pat: ...the underwear fell on the floor...
Interior view, Pat’s house/corridor upstairs, during the day, the flashback

Interior view, clinic/Doctor Patel’s consulting room, daytime
Pat: So, yes, I got angry. I beat him to death. But now, am I going to be punished for this matter? Am I just like my father? I do not think so.
Doctor Patel: All right. Can you tell me what you did before or after that incident?
Pat: One week before this happened, I called the police that my wife and this guy who teach history were conspiring against me. They also misappropriated public funds from the school. This is not true. This is my delusion. Later the hospital diagnosed me with, uh...
Dr. Patel:... Manic depression (Note 2).
Pat: Yes. Emotions change a lot, and weird thoughts appear, which are caused by too much pressure. But thankfully, this doesn't happen very often. Then, the bathroom incident happened and everything was out of control, so later I realized, wow, I have been dealing with this problem all the time. And there is no one to guide me or help me, I face all this alone, nervous.
Doctor Patel: That must be difficult.
Pat: Yes. There are many problems to deal with, especially if you don’t know what happened, now I know. At least in a sense.
Dolores (voice-over): Pat, you have to take medicine.

Dolores: You have to take medicine.
Old Pat: Why don't you just take the medicine?
Pat walked into the living room, and the camera moved with him. Dolores followed him.

Old Pat: What is he doing in a trash bag?
Dolores: What are you doing in a trash bag?
Pat: To sweat.
Old Pat: Sit down. Let's watch the game together. It's been seven minutes since the start, and I haven't scored yet. Help them to transfer with amulet.

Old Pat: Come on, Mr. Keep Up. Don't you want to be positive and optimistic? Then be positive and optimistic. sit down.
Pat: Okay. Ok.
Old Pat: Sit down quickly.
Pat: Just watch it for a while. Take a look at the beginning.

Old Pat: Yes... Did you see it?
Pat: Handkerchief?
Old Pat: Yes.
Old Pat moved the remote control. Pat sat.
Pat: This is obsessive-compulsive neurosis. It's crazy.
Old Pat: What kind of obsessive-compulsive neurosis? I just want my son to watch the game with me.
Pat stood up.
Old Pat: Sit down. I want you to watch the game with me. I am not superstitious. This is just a small matter. If I make a lot of money, what difference does it make if I do that? Is it a trivial matter? sit down. Come on.
Dolores: I'm going to make some snacks.
On TV, the attacking team scored a touchdown with the ball. Old Pat yelled. Dolores yelled. Pat was also excited.
Old Pat: Did you see it? ! Do you see it? ! You should be here!
Pat laughed.
Old Pat: It's so unusual. Everything happens for a reason. So you went home. Accept it! Accept it!

Pat: I am for this reason? I don't think.
Old Pat (to the phone): Yes, Tommy, yes, yes. I have received your record sheet. No, no...

Ronnie: Yes.
Veronica: Go home quickly. I have something.
Ronnie: Right now.
Veronica retracted into the room and closed the window.

old Pat: After you left, the Redskins played a trick and crossed to Randall El. Andy Reid wasted a timeout, did not counterattack, and lost the game. If you want to continue to live in this house, please respect what I have done. And we should spend more time together. I don't want you to get into trouble anymore.
Pat: I have good news to announce. Good news.
Old Pat: What is it? What good news?
Pat: Things are starting to improve.
Old Pat: Oh, is it?
Pat picked up the phone and dialed.
Pat: I know why they invited me over. I know.
Old Pat: Listen, she might still be with that man.
Pat: Oh, it's impossible.
Old Pat: She... No, she might still be with him. She is afraid of you. She doesn't want to talk to you.
Pat: Impossible, Dad. Do you mean Doug Calpeper?
Old Pat: Put the phone down. You have to...
Pat: Wait a minute.
Old Pat reached for the phone.
Old Pat: ... put the phone down.
Pat: What are you doing?
Both of them pulled the telephone receiver hard.
Old Pat: Listen, let go.
Pat: Give me the phone. Dad, this is my life. dad.
Old Pat: Give me the phone. Give me the phone.
Dolores: Pat!
Old Pat: You have to understand me. You don't want to go back to the hospital, do you? Then don't do it.
Pat (tears): Don't say this to me.
Old Pat: Stop it.
Doorbell rang.
Officer Keogh (Voiceover): I received the call, come here...
Interior view, Solatano's house/foyer, during the day
old Pat opened the front door and saw a policeman standing at the door. He is Officer Keogh.
Officer Keogh: ...Look at this house. Are you Pat Solatano?
Pat: Yes.
Officer Keo: Mrs. Solatano, Mr. Solatano, I’m Officer Keo. Patrol this area. I heard about your restraining order. I also heard that you went to your old house and school. This will not work. I took over your case, so you will see me often. Do yourself a favor and follow the restraining order, okay? Keep a distance of five hundred feet.
Old Pat: Did you hear what he said? You have a restraining order.
Pat: Yes, Dad, I get it.
Old Pat: Thank you police officer.
Officer Keogh: If there is any need... my business card.
Old Pat (receiving the business card): Thank you. Sorry. We got it.
Pat: Since when did the police also have business cards?

Interior view, clinic/Doctor Patel’s consulting room,
Doctor Patel during the day : Tell me, do you want to go to jail or go back to the hospital? Ok? So, take your medicine well. If you cooperate, we will reduce the amount of medicine.
Pat: Nikki is waiting for me to get back in shape and get my life on track. Then she will come back to me. This works better than any medicine.
Dr. Patel: Pat, there is another possibility, I hope you will also be prepared. She may not be back. True love is learning to let go, let her go, and see if she will come back to you. At the same time, if you hear that song, I hope you don't fall apart. So think about it, okay? You need solutions.
Pat: Let me talk. I have something to say.
Doctor Patel: Good.
Pat: This is what I learned in the hospital, and I believe it is true. You must try your best to do everything, you must put in 100% effort. If you do this, if you maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, you will find the line of happiness behind the dark cloud.
Doctor Patel: Let's find a way to solve your problem.
Pat: Hey, my friend Ronnie had a party on Sunday night, the kind of party that loves to stand up. His wife Veronica is stuck with... I don't know, my mother wants me to wear formal clothes, but I want to wear the jersey that my brother Jack helped me get from the Eagles.
Dr. Patel: Whose shirt is it?
Pat: Deshaun Jackson's.

Ronnie: It's okay. I like your jersey. If only I could wear a jersey.
Pat: I feel like an idiot.
Ronnie: Do you feel comfortable?
Pat: Veronica won't like it.
Ronnie: Come here.
Pat: And you are still wearing a tie.
Ronnie: Don't worry, you are our VIP. It's up to you what you want.
Pat: Really?
Ronnie: Come here quickly.

Pat: That's great. marvelous.
Ronnie: Very good, right?
Pat: That's great.
Ronnie: I'm thinking about decorating it again.
Pat: Why?
Ronnie: The reason is—
Pat: There is nowhere to spend more money, right.
Ronnie: We had a pretty good time. I have no need to complain.
Pat: Isn't the current market situation not so good?
Ronnie: It's not very good, but you know, she wants more things, so I can only do it.
Pat: Did you know that my father's pension is gone.
Ronnie: I'm sorry. Many people are like this. My uncle also has no pension.
Pat: Really?
Ronnie: Yes. But did you know? I am not disrespectful, nor personal, but now is the time to fight hard. You enter the commercial real estate market—buy it at a bargain price—and then continue to resell it. This is the way to make money. But the pressure that followed... was like...
Ronnie glanced to see if Veronica was in front of him.
Pat: How are you?
Ronnie (whispering): I'm not good. You must never tell others. listen to me. I feel like I'm going to be overwhelmed, and ---
Pat (whispering): Overwhelmed by what?
Ronnie (whispering): Everything. Family, children, work, everything is pressing on me. Do you know, I feel like this (Lonnie looks like he is pinched around his neck), I feel like I'm about to...suffocate.
Ronnie covered his face with his hands.
Pat: Oh my goodness.
Ronnie: It's impossible for you to be happy all the time.

Pat: How did he die?
Ronnie: Don't mention it anymore.
Pat: How did he die?
Tiffany: Who died how?
Pat looked up and saw Veronica's younger sister Tiffany walk in, and their eyes were immediately attracted by each other. Tiffany is tall, beautiful and passionate. She walked towards Ronnie and Pat, and Pat was unsure of what to do.
Ronnie: Hi, Tiffany! This is Pat. Pat, my sister-in-law Tiffany.
Pat: You are beautiful.
Tiffany: Thank you.
Pat: I didn't tease you.
Tiffany: Oh, I didn't think so either.
Pat: I just want to try to mend the relationship with my wife. I want to admire her beauty. I have never been used to expressing this way before. Now studying. Because our relationship will get better and better... Me and Nikki. Just practice. How did Tommy die?
Tiffany was stunned. Ronnie couldn't believe what Pat had just said.
Pat: How is your job?
Tiffany: I just got fired.
Pat: Oh, is it? how come? Sorry, I mean how could this happen?
Tiffany: Does it matter?

Ronnie: How did it come?
Pat: Martin Van Buren, the eighth president of the United States, is from Kendrick Hook, New York...
Veronica: Oh.
Pat: ...he is a member of a men's club called "Old Kendrick Hook (Note 3)". If you are cool enough, you can join this club. They will say, "That person is OK." Because you are a member of the old Kendrick Hook club.
Ronnie: Really?
Pat: Really. Cool, right?
Ronnie: Interesting.
Veronica: Did you know that Tiffany has practiced dancing for many years and she dances really well. She will go to a dance competition held at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel.

Tiffany: I have also taken some of this medicine, but it didn't work very well, so I stopped using it.
Pat: Have you ever taken clonazepam?
Tiffany: Clonazepam? (Chuckles) I've eaten it.
Pat: After taking the medicine, it was like, "What? What day is it today?" Have you ever eaten trazodone?
Tiffany (laughing): Trazodone?

Tiffany: Oh my goodness. That's how it feels.
Veronica and Ronnie felt uncomfortable. Tiffany stood up.
Tiffany: I'm tired. Want to go back.
Veronica: Don't do it. We haven't even finished the salad, nor the duck. I also made ice cream cakes.
Tiffany: I said I was tired. (To Pat) Would you like to take me home?
Pat: Are you talking about me?
Tiffany: Yes, that's you. Do you want to take me home?
Pat: You don't know how to socialize. you have a problem.
Tiffany: I have a problem? You always say something inappropriate. You make people feel scared.
Pat: I'm telling the truth. You are bitter and mean.
Tiffany: What? Am I not telling the truth?
Veronica and Ronnie felt very uncomfortable.
Ronnie: Well, maybe I should drive them home separately.
Veronica: You send them both away now.
Tiffany: Don't speak of me in the third person.
Veronica: You send Tiffany back first.
Tiffany: You just want me to have a problem. You just like that I have a problem, Veronica, because it shows how good you are. Say it if you think about it.
Veronica: No...
Pat stands up.
Veronica: ...I haven't thought about it that way. I do not have. I just want to have a nice dinner. Cozy dinner.
Tiffany: Oh my goodness.
Veronica: What is the problem with you? !

Pat: What does it feel like?
Tiffany: I see the way you look at me, Pat. You feel it, I feel it, don't lie. We are different from them, we don't lie. I live alone at the back, completely separated from my parents’ house, so they have no chance of disturbing us. I hate you to wear this jersey to dinner parties, because I don't like football. But if you turn off the light, you can get on me, okay?
Pat was speechless for a while.
Pat: How old are you?
Tiffany: It's old enough, once married, and divorced again.
Pat: I had a great time tonight, and you are really beautiful, but I am married.
Pat raised her hand to show her her wedding ring.
Tiffany: Are you married? I am also married.

Location, street,
Pat is running during the day , and the camera moves with him. The camera panned his face upward.
Pat panted heavily. He passed Tiffany's house and looked at the house.
Tiffany broke into the screen suddenly and ran past Pat.
Tiffany (running): Hey!
Pat (running): What are you doing?
Tiffany: What's wrong with your face.
Pat: I accidentally made it while lifting weights.
Tiffany: Nonsense. Why did you come to my house? Did the conversation last night disturb you?
Pat: Hey, this is my running route. Back.
Tiffany: This is my neighborhood. You came to my house.
Pat: I like running alone.
Tiffany: Me too.
Pat (stops, turns around): Hey, I like running alone! Can you not follow me?
Tiffany: What?
Pat: All right? I run here!
Tiffany: Me too!
Pat: Why don't you go somewhere else? Rudd is! What do you want to do?
Tiffany: I like this road. This is my neighborhood.
Pat (sighs): Oh, come on, please!
Tiffany: Calm down, lunatic.
Pat spit. Tiffany also spit.
Pat suddenly ran down a path quickly, trying to get rid of Tiffany. he made it. Pat slowed down and muttered, obviously upset because of his accidental encounter with Tiffany. At this time ---
Tiffany: Hey!
Tiffany emerged from another alley behind Pat.
Pat: Why is it here again? ! I am married!
Tiffany: I am also married.
Pat: What the hell are you doing? Your husband is dead!
Tiffany: Where is your wife then?
Pat: You are crazy!
Tiffany: I didn't just come out of the mental hospital.
Pat: I'm not a slut either!
Tiffany stopped and bent down. Pat also stopped and walked over.
Pat (gasps): I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
Tiffany (straight up): I used to be a slut, but I am not anymore. There is always a fragile and dirty side in me, but I like it, and I like it along with other qualities in me. Can you say the same thing to yourself, bastard? ! Will you forgive yourself? Can you do this?
Tiffany turned and left.
Interior view, clinic/Doctor Patel’s consulting room, daytime
Doctor Patel: You seemed to be in trouble last night.
Pat: I'm going to be blunt about what happened last night. I didn't mean to hurt my mother, I hate myself for doing this, I hate my illness, and I want to control myself. As for my dad, let’s say otherwise. He beat me up last night without hesitation. I didn’t fight back because if I fight back, I will kill him, but I didn’t fight back. He is sixty-five years old. Do you think I can't beat him? I...
Dr. Patel: He was frightened by your mother's affairs, and you hurt him too.
Pat: Yeah, it was a mess last night. I think he probably tried his best.
Dr. Patel: Pat, you have to find a way to come out, I told you before. You need to be aware of these emotions, otherwise, you will still be sent back to the mental hospital. So, when these emotions come up, you need to find a quieter place and calm down by yourself. You have to do it anyway.
Pat: Yeah, but easier said than done.
Dr. Patel: You have to do this, you have no choice. Keep going up.
Pat: Yes, keep going up. Listen, I wrote a letter, I want you to give it to Nikki, okay?
Doctor Patel: No way.
Pat: Why not?
Dr. Patel: Because you have a restraining order.
Pat (sighs): What can you do, man?
Dr. Patel: Last night, why were you so anxious to watch your wedding video?
Pat: I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm already married and haven't seen my wife for eight and a half months.
Dr. Patel: Maybe you think that your wife is not around, and Tiffany is so charming. If you are attracted by Tiffany, you will ruin the chance of restoring the old with Nikki, right?
Pat: I can imagine it, Dr. Jones. But I don't think that Nikki and I can't rebuild the old, because Tiffany is a slut.
Doctor Patel: Why do you say that?
Pat: After having dinner at Ronnie's house last night, she said, I quoted her saying, "We can go to the back house, as long as we turn off the light, you can go to me." End of quote. And she is also wearing a wedding ring. Therefore, she is a slut who is loyal to a dead man.
Dr. Patel: Maybe she just wants to make friends. She feels that if you ask to have sex with you, you will be more likely to be friends with her.
Pat: She said she was no longer a slut. But she likes her side and her other qualities. She also asked if I could say the same thing to myself?
Doctor Patel: Can you?
Pat: You ask me, do you really ask me this question?
Doctor Patel: Yes.
Pat: Do you like my madness and stupidity? What are you crazy?
Dr. Patel: Pat, you said the happiness line. I just repeat what you said to you. This "crazy, sad idiot", according to your statement, makes you happier and calmer, with a beautiful, positive and optimistic attitude, to go outdoors, exercise, and read. (Pauses) You said that Nikki is a friend of Ronnie, Veronica, and Tiffany. So, if you make friends with Tiffany, Nikki will think that you are a friendly, generous, and generous person who can help people in need. So, if you help Tiffany, it will be good for you.

Pat: How do you know my running time?
Tiffany: I want to clarify one thing. I just want to make friends with you. (Pat does not speak) Did you hear me? (Pat still doesn't say a word) Why are you embarrassing me so much?
Pat: No, I didn't embarrass you.
Pat and Tiffany ran to a small restaurant across the road.
Tiffany: Every time you look like a ghost, I don't know how to get along with you.
Pat (pausing, panting): Would you like to come to this restaurant for dinner?
