The film revolves around George Monroe (played by Kevin Kline), an architect who has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. George decides to spend his remaining days repairing his dilapidated house, which serves as a metaphor for the disarray in his life. As he embarks on this challenging endeavor, he reconnects with his estranged teenage son, Sam (played by Hayden Christensen), and ex-wife Robin (played by Kristin Scott Thomas). Together, they navigate their fractured relationships and heal old wounds.

Life as a House delves deep into the complexities of familial dynamics, showcasing the power of love and self-reflection to rebuild broken connections. As George pours his energy into reconstructing the house, he also rebuilds the bonds with his loved ones. The process becomes a catalyst for self-discovery and personal redemption, as the characters face their past mistakes and emerge with a newfound sense of purpose.

The film's powerful soundtrack composed by Mark Isham perfectly complements the emotional journey depicted on screen. From tender piano melodies to soul-stirring orchestral pieces, Isham's compositions evoke a range of emotions, further enhancing the film's impact.

It teaches us that it's never too late to mend broken relationships, and that love and forgiveness have the power to heal even the deepest wounds. Life as a House is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, leaving a lasting impact on anyone who watches it.

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.
No, these aren't for you.
No, you can't!
No, you don't.
No, you don't. Trust me.
No, you're not going anywhere.
No, you're off, you know?
No! Oh, my God.
No. But I count them.
No. If you'd given up on me, I'd be in Tahoe right now.
No. Not today.
No. Nothing.
No. Worse.
Nobody's even pretended to offer treatment.
Nope. From the day I started to today.
Not a shower.
Not alone, not anywhere.
Not bad, considering the height.
Not even close.
Not for the weekend. For the summer.
Not funny.
Not here with me, not home with your mother...
Not if what he left me was real.
Not too tight!
Nothing "R," OK?
Nothing is going on with us, is it?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Now go pick up the suitcase, get in the truck, now.
Now she's just hostile.
Now, run it by me first.
Now, that's got to be illegal.
Of course, it was a BB gun...
Officer, I think we should just forget all about this.
Oh, God, I could die.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God! Are you OK?
Oh, my God.
Oh, nothing. I'm fine.
Oh, well. For later, then.
OK, could you hand me a towel? I'm getting out.
OK, hand it up.
OK, I'll ask.
OK, let's keep going. Knock another hole.
OK, Sam.
OK, that's enough for today.
OK. Thanks, Mrs. Beck.
On rock, facing the sea... listening.
Once in a while he even talks to me.
One of you would end up dead.
Only pieces now waiting to make sense.
Or if I cut my hair for him...
Or if I shaved my head, then I looked like a psycho.
Or it can just blow you away...
Or wound.
Or you don't want my children here...
Oral morphine for my back.
Packing.
People go to prison for what you just did to me!
Peter left me.
Please, take that thumbtack out of your face.
Probably in the Bible.
Probably it's, like, a law.
Pushing.
Put all your body weight against it.
Put it in my name.
Put that down right now!
Put your arm around me. There you go.
Queer.
Really big.
Really?
Really?
Really? No, I mean, not a friend?
Ring the bell before you try the door.
Robin, did you tell Sam he was spending the summer with me?
Rub him down, will you, Alyssa?
Run to the pharmacy?
Sam broke his closet.
Sam is spending the summer with me, OK?
Sam took 'em to a movie.
Sam, did you hear Josh got arrested?
Sam, do you ever...
Sam, I wanted us to...oh, God.
Sam, there's, like, twenty people...
Sam, we need you over here.
Sam's favorite.
Sam's working at something...
Saving him from the waves.
Seat belt.
Seat belt.
Second trailer on your right.
See you tomorrow.
See, that's a trap.
Severance pay.
She figures things out on her own, and that's it.
She keeps giving me crap about being away from Peter...
She seemed upset.
She sent me up here to see if you wanted...
She was pretty cool.
She was very angry.
She went out with a friend.
She wouldn't even fucking go out with me until she was sixteen.
She wouldn't leave my dad.
Shit! No fucking way!
Shit.
Shit.
Should l?
Should we do this?
Sir, are you all right? Can you hear me?
Sir?
Smaller, always smaller.
So am l, Robin. I'm working at something, too.
So I've decided that I'm not going to shave...
So if you don't want me here...
So much as one more nail being hammered...
So say what you have to say...
So that if I got good grades in school...
So you can move into someplace decent...
So you tell me, when would you start...
So you want to build a house?
So you're dying.
So, what's the deal between you and Alyssa?
Someone call 91 1.
Something I can be proud to give you.
Sometimes things happen for a reason.
Sooner than the fall.
Sounded like a pickup line.
Stay there. Good boy. Right there.
Stop licking me.
Stop right there! Hold it, kid !
Sure you don't want any?
Sweet dreams.
Take him for the summer, OK? Whip him into shape.
Take it off.
Take it with you.
Tell him how you made me fall in love with you.
Ten or eleven even, he used to run up...
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks for letting him use your shower.
Thanks for talking about me behind my back.
Thanks for your time, then.
Thanks.
That called you happy.
That four months is all you have, have they?
That I made you doubt it...
That is the great mistake of a life full of mistakes.
That took care of the pain?
That was the most god awful thing...
That was the plan.
That wasn't a dream. That was Sam.
That wasn't even a rule. That was just her own thing.
That we built a house together.
That you and a boy are squatting illegally in your garage.
That you don't even feel the difference...
That your home exceeds its approved height...
That your life is better or worse till it is.
That'll take weeks.
That's a long time.
That's child abuse!
That's good.
That's it!
That's it. Yes.
That's me.
That's mine.
That's my father.
That's not true.
That's not your car out in the driveway right there?
That's weird.
That's what my father says.
The antibiotics weren't working...
The city approved for this lot.
The door was open.
The first and the last.
The first because I wasn't sure you really loved me...
The game was to make me smaller than he was
The kind where there isn't any answer.
The man has never changed from the day we moved in.
The neighbors will need sunglasses.
The planning commission, city council.
The plumber's due out tomorrow.
The sofa's a pull out.
The thing about me being the most beautiful person.
The truth doesn't set us free, Robin.
The wave crash against the cliff.
The waves.
The way the sun struck the ocean or the sound of the waves.
The whole summer, Sam. Party in Tahoe.
The whole summer. Do the math.
Then I started thinking...
Then I was a pussy for not playing football.
Then it sounds like I'm doing you a favor.
Then maybe he wouldn't have driven drunk.
Then say it.
There has to be a logical explanation.
There must be hundreds of 'em around the office.
There was also some talk about a drug rehab center.
There were no PGs, so I just gave 'em money for video games.
There you go.
There you go.
There's a big one.
There's not a doubt in my mind.
These gloves are for you.
They consider this a hatchback or a station wagon?
They couldn't find her father, and her mother was dead.
They got me started.
They have a place for both.
They really wanted to come.
They'll stick with it till it's done.
They're finally tearing down this pile of junk.
They're making him ride a bike all summer.
They're taking your dad to the hospital.
They're the best.
They're trying to make me spend the summer here...
Think about it. I'll be around.
Think it will stay up?
Think of it as a family tradition.
Think of whatever.
Thinking of jumping?
This feels too weird now.
This is an end of it, Sam.
This is mine!
This is my room !
This is ridiculous.
This is stupid.
This is what he wanted.
This is where you would want to be built.
This may well be the worst summer of your entire life...
This was before it was blue.
This whole summer, having me here, was for your sake.
Those come out, too.
Thought I'd help out with the plumbing.
Thought you guys might be hungry.
Three hundred cash, two hours, that's it.
Three hundred cash, two hours.
Through all my anger, my ego...
To expose your penis in front of my 16 year old daughter?
To get out of it.
To hang out with her and her mom and watch a movie.
To hook up with some hump.
To live with him but maybe even...
To put the wire through.
To run in here right now and hug you?
To start the Berlin model today?
To stick your head to be able to see my dick?
Today, I give a shit!
Tom, get in the car.
Tomorrow and the next day and the day after...
Try it. Feels good.
Trying to jack off in an armoire?
Turkey sandwiches.
Turn around. Just lay down.
Turn off your engine.
Turn over.
Twenty five years of hating what you live in.
Twenty nine years ago my father crossed a double line.
Two hours a week for three hundred cash.
Undercooked meat.
Until after he was gone.
Until it's finished.
Until there is one.
Until you get things settled.
Used to dance you to sleep.
Very funny.
Wait a minute.
Wait for my signal. Slow.
Want to give me a hand?
Watch out for the smile, boys.
Watch out.
Water'll take you out. Let it.
We can change anything, really...
We can show clients endless options.
We can't do anything.
We could always use an extra set of hands.
We couldn't stand him, and George needed help.
We have it on video.
We haven't been away together for three years.
We haven't built shit.
We live a fabulous life, Robin.
We should take a vacation.
We'll Christmas time
We'll pack it so full of lights...
We're all dying from the start.
We're fine.
Weeks, actually. Sam's working.
Well done. Perfect!
Well, congratulations...
Well, Dale wants to know if we should run an outside line...
Well, don't jump till you hear...
Well, good.
Well, good. That's great.
Well, hello. How are you?
Well, I live there.
Well, I'm married.
Well, it's almost finished.
Well, tell him I say hello.
Well, those
Well, when we divorced a decade ago...
Well, you can't even begin to know how much I hate my father.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing home?
What are you doing in my room?
What are you doing?
What are you doing? Don't touch me.
What are you guys doing?
What are you now?
What are you on, George?
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
What can I do, anything?
What did he say?
What did I say?
What did you say?
What did you think it would be?
What difference is a few months gonna make?
What do you think I'm stupid? I locked the door!
What friends did she go with?
What happened?
What have you gotten all over yourself?
What I'm not.
What is he doing? George?
What is it?
What is this?
What is this? Is this pasta sauce?
What kind of a mother can't stand her own son?
What kind of a problem?
What the fuck?
What was I supposed to do?
What was that for?
What were you before today?
What would you be doing there right now?
What would you be if you asked Ryan and Adam...
What would you do if you had three or four months to live?
What would you do?
What you said what was that?
What you smoke, what you sniff, what you swallow.
What you think you know...
What, killed my dad?
What, to check up on me?
What?
What?
What?
What?
What'd you just toss into the brush?
What's going on?
What's in my pants is none of your fucking business.
What's the matter, Sam?
What's the point of this?
What's this pizza?
What's wrong with your back?
Whatever that new drug is you have.
When does school let out?
When I picked you up from the train...
When you were dating my mom, I saw you kiss her once, and...
When you're done mowing the grass here...
Where are my clothes?
Where are the kids?
Where have you been? I called everyone everywhere.
Where is it?
Where is it?
Where is it?
Where to?
Where were you?
Where will I be most useful?
Where will you live?
Where'd you hide it?
Where'd you put it, in these shirts?
Where's George?
Where's your dad?
Which side of the bed do you want?
Which two?
Who are all these people?
Who are you, anyway? I don't even know you.
Who are you?
Who?
Who's gonna be here tonight for the follow through?
Why are you so uptight?
Why aren't you coming for the weekend?
Why can't you all just die and leave me alone?
Why did you do that?
Why did you let him pierce his chin?
Why does he have a lock on his door?
Why don't you just go and beg some money off of my dad...
Why the first and the last?
Why would they tow your truck?
Why would you be there?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why? I like being with Sam.
Why's that?
Will you come in and say hi?
Will you go in that garage and lick his attitude?
With a real kitchen and a real bathroom?
With every crash of every wave, I hear something now.
With some kid in Tahoe!
With your hands or your tongue?
Without first showing you what a fabulous life...
Woman in the other car.
Working on your dad's house right now.
Would you get that for me, please?
Would you mind turning this down?!
Would you stop that?
Would you tell him that I'm not going?
Would've been so much better if you had.
Yeah, and you hated four out of the five years that you did.
Yeah, I guess it is.
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah, more like that.
Yeah, the one time I remember for sure.
Yeah? What kind of house?
Yeah? You're too fucking late.
Yeah. I have some unfinished business.
Yeah. I kind of said that maybe they could do something.
Yeah. I wanted him to marry her.
Yeah. Me, too.
Yes for the patio, the air conditioning unit...
Yes, sir.
You already promised me!
You are in big trouble, mister!
You are inconsiderate and absolutely devoid of emotion.
You bit my finger.
You brought your kids.
You can always go back and file an appeal.
You can come in and wait, if you'd like.
You can do whatever you want with it.
You can learn all you need to on the computer long before that.
You can maybe even find a job closer to home.
You can't go because of Sam?
You can't go with me because of Sam.
You can't make me do a thing.
You can't promise me anything...
You can't touch me.
You could keep it and rent it out.
You could live despite me.
You crazy dog, Guster.
You didn't give a shit about anything I did up until now!
You doing OK?
You don't always get what you wish for, Sam.
You don't even understand!
You don't have to do a thing.
You don't have to stay.
You don't want any breakfast?
You ever think like that?
You ever wish you'd done it?
You fuck.
You got any money?
You got any more weed?
You got nipple rings, naval rings...
You got no right going through my things...
You got something.
You have no right in here!
You haven't been happy in ten years?
You heard the lady.
You just vanished.
You knew you were dying from the start?
You know that? It's an invasion of privacy.
You know the great thing, though?
You know what I've decided?
You know what mortise and tenon is?
You know what? I feel better about this.
You know, Alyssa thinks something's up with us.
You know, I think you have to have a door...
You know, spend a few months together.
You know, your dad dated my mom after her divorce.
You like garlic?
You live in a garage, OK? You don't have cable.
You live in Corey's parents' cabin in Tahoe?
You look better without makeup.
You look different.
You look like crap, George.
You look like shit lately, you know?
You look like such a good kisser.
You love your job.
You must have a really great husband.
You need all the brain cells you've got.
You never really trusted me.
You pick the one you like the best.
You see, that's the thing, though...
You selfish fuck.
You should lock your door.
You should stay.
You stayed.
You sure we can't call anyone?
You sure you don't want anything?
You take too long.
You want to roll down the window, please?
You wearing sunscreen?
You were the one neighbor I could tolerate.
You will just have to explain that to the police.
You'd hate him for the trick.
You'd have liked your grandmother.
You'll help me if I could kiss you.
You'll know me by the time we're through.
You're a good mother, Robin.
You're a great architect and a miserable human being.
You're also unbelievably stupid, you know that?
You're barely alive.
You're crazy, you know this?
You're driving me crazy. You know that?
You're in big shit now!
You're just tearing your father down.
You're kissing him.
You're looking better than ever.
You're not even a fucking architect...
You're not hooked up for the internet...
You're not still taking any, are you?
You're not well.
You're predictable.
You're relentless.
You're right. You win.
You're scrubbing down the shower.
You're spending the summer with me.
You're spinning him right now.
You're still warm. Wake up.
You're such a good father.
You're the most beautiful woman that I have ever known.
You're unbelievable, you know that?
You're up early.
You're way off.
You're wet.
You're what I was most of my life, Sam.
You're wrong about that first year.
You've been saying that for twenty years.
You've never said that before.
You've worn out your welcome at this house, Sam.
Your buddy Mr. Dokos called to complain...
Your mom and the boys can come by anytime.
Your mother? People have to be touched.
Yuck!
220, right up in here.
A man he respects. He respects nothing.
A violation? Yes.
Back. His back.
Don't move your neck. I'm going to call an ambulance.
Doors. I hate to ask about the window.
Fine. ln his office when you're able.
George, I did say he could go. ls this everything?
George, what are you doing? He doesn't answer.
Get dressed now! Did you know the alarm is on?
Go get in the truck. You go fuck yourself!
Go! I'm going!
Good morning, Mr. George. Hiya.
Good morning. Sam, Ryan has a game later.
Hello? I don't see Alyssa.
Hello. That's my mom.
Here you go. All right, let's eat.
Hey, boy. I just stopped down.
I can't pick you up. 'Cause I'm married.
I don't want it. Fine.
I heard a scream. Josh fell.
I'm doing the grass. Fuck the grass.
I'm not Just kidding.
I'm OK. Don't move.
Keys. Keys.
Let me just get it out. Why?
lf I could just stand up. Stay there.
ls it mine? I hope not.
Makes me sad. Why?
Me! You!
Morning. Hello.
Napkin? Who wants cheese?
No, but thanks anyway. Alyssa may be a while.
No, I'm fine. Where does it hurt?
Now there's nothing to stop me. Oh, money?
Oh, God. Get dressed.
Orange juice? Croissant? No, I'm good.
Robin. Excuse me.
See you. Anytime.
Sit down. No!
Told you. It's toxic.
What are you doing? I was wondering...
What was that? That was the truth.
What? I don't mean just physically.
Where do you want this one? Right up here.
Where's Sam? He won't use my shower.
Who are you? I'm his brother.
Who's Corey? Corey's my friend.
Who's up for a dance? Not me.
Yes. Hold on.
You and me both. Bye.
You could be dead. Not today.
You know. What?
"I'll be in the bedroom."
