The Gentle Art of Making Enemies , Written
0:58
and directed by Ben Qaddafi
1:00
, Episode 5 . Noah
1:05
may be the hothead and Isaac
1:07
knows it . Any time spent
1:09
together makes you understand damn
1:11
well . They don't communicate . These
1:14
boys got a long road ahead of them and
1:17
it will only get longer if they don't learn
1:19
to get along . A man who
1:21
bites his tongue may have blood in his
1:23
mouth , but has a better chance of getting
1:25
out alive . I think Isaac
1:27
might be biting off more than he can chew
1:30
. You can't make a silk
1:32
purse out of a sow's ear . And boy , let
1:34
me tell you , things can get
1:36
pretty ugly , pretty quick .
1:45
Hey , harmonica , I
1:52
could make a song for us . I'd rather listen
1:55
to a dog raping a dying rabbit . Oh
1:57
my God , what Booty
1:59
, fucking licious , booty
2:01
, what Licious , you
2:05
know , booty , licious . That rapper from the 90s the
2:07
hell's it doing in the glove box ? It's probably
2:09
yours from when we were kids . It would have beaten
2:12
me for listening to it if I were dad . We
2:14
have to put this in , please don't . Oh
2:17
, shut up , it's gonna be terribly great . I
2:19
said no , what are you fucking stupid
2:21
? You said please don't . There's
2:23
a difference , like the difference between
2:26
a broken finger and a broken nose
2:28
. You've already had one of them . Fine

2:33

to go . Why ? Because you have
5:31
some stupid song reminding you of our childhood
5:33
. That's precisely the reason I want to stop . What
5:35
better way to remember Dad than to stop at our old camping
5:37
grounds ? Well
5:40

6:02
this . Isaac what is there to regret . When
6:05
was the last time you got to do something like this , dude
6:07
? I'm just saying , you always find a way to
6:09
make things more difficult than they need to be . What
6:12
? No , I don't . No shenanigans
6:15
, dude . Come on , I'm not gonna do
6:17
anything , dude
6:19
, I mean it . No fucking around . I
6:22
promise . No fucking around . Alright
6:26

6:41
cannot believe we're here right now . I
6:43

6:47

6:49

dropped your cocaine . Fucking
7:09
mook you . Alright , good
7:13
Cause I'm not taking you
7:15
to the hospital . Can you
7:17
at least help me up jerk-off . Noah
7:37
, look at this , I
7:41
see it . And
7:43
this is still breathtaking
7:45
. You remember building sandcastles over there , of
7:48
course . So much fun
7:50
. Dad would help us make moats and bridges and Mom
7:53
playing Godzilla . She
7:55
did what she would stomp all over the castles when she wanted
7:57
us to get into the water . Oh my
8:00
god , I completely forgot about it . That crazy
8:02
lady . And you would cry .
8:03
Mom , this is my masterpiece
8:06
.
8:06
Is that an attempt to make fun of my childhood speech impediments
8:09
? I'm seriously speechless that you think
8:11
I would do something stupid like that . Funny
8:13
, hey , just to be happy , our
8:15
parents took the time and the money to
8:17
get you to speech therapy . They
8:21
, they , bought me a slap to the face any time
8:23
I'd say something incorrectly . These
8:27
were good times , man , a
8:29
time before you hated me . Oh , stop the poor
8:31
pity me routine . I hated you long
8:34
before you ever became a poster child . We're
8:37
here , though . Let's just enjoy
8:39
it Just for a little bit . I
8:41
want to get home before it's dark . Why
8:44
so soon ? A pregnant
8:46
wife at home who is eight and a half weeks along
8:48
and is a continuous ball of joy Emphasis
8:51
on the cunt . I'm
8:53
gonna tell her . You said that , be my guest , she'll
8:56
slap you first . Yeah
8:58

9:14
us . You

9:39

9:41
calling you ? Did you leave your phone in the truck
9:44
? Shit
9:50
, if she's being the magical C-word , I don't even want to
9:52
talk to her . Yellow , why the fuck doesn't your brother answer my calls
9:54
? Well , I'm 70% convinced he's gay
9:56
, so that could be a contributing factor . You know , he grabbed
9:58
some old man's breast in the rest stop bathroom . Saw
10:00
it with my own eyes . Isaac , seriously , I'm not fucking
10:03
around here . Wow , sorry , he's
10:05
right next to me . He probably just left his phone in the truck
10:07
. What's she saying here ? Just talk
10:09
to her . I'm gonna go piss . By
10:15
the way , she's in a great mood . Hey babe , you

I'm taking Highway 30 , which is about 20 miles an hour slower . Yeah well , you were supposed to be home yesterday , kirsten

11:02
emo kid . Then hog , tie him

13:10
to the air intake . Come on now . How
13:12
the fuck do you know about cars ? Well
13:14
, the Ottomo car was invented by a German
13:17
man named Sven Ousterfaus . Isaac
13:19
, I'm serious . Dad used to show us
13:21
how to work on cars all the time . Or have you forgotten
13:23
that ? He showed me how to do that
13:26
shit . You were too busy trying on Mom's
13:28
clothes . You are a fucking delusion
13:30
, fuck you . I was right
13:32
next to you when he gave you those lessons . How else
13:34
would I know how to unhook the fucking ignition module
13:36
? I just assumed you jumped in like
13:38
an ape and yanked on the first thing . You fucking saw
13:40
what is with you and assumptions . I
13:42
don't just assume everything . Ha you
13:45
automatically assume I'm this dipshit Colorado
13:47
junkie with no job ? I don't assume
13:49
it's the truth . What you know of me is
13:51
a shadow , noah Bullshit . You
13:53
quit your job with the city , which was a great fucking
13:55
job , cashed in your 401k
13:58
and you moved away to do fuck all . And
14:00
you moved away to do fuck all . Am
14:02
I wrong ? Am I wrong ? Not
14:05
technically , not technically . Get
14:07
the fuck out of here . You know what ? I am a fucking
14:09
millionaire , oh , bullshit
14:11
. I wrote a book called the Butcher of
14:13
Bronson Street , that teeny-bopper
14:16
bullshit that sits on my wife's nightstand . Fuck
14:18
off , yes , that teeny-bopper bullshit
14:20
. Nice try , isaac . That
14:24
book doesn't say written by Isaac Peterson , it's some author , pj Williamson
14:27
or some stupid shit . Rj Staker
14:29
, I used a pseudonym . I call bullshit
14:31
. How ? How the hell are
14:34
you a millionaire from writing one fucking book ? Well
14:36
, for one . It became a bestseller . That
14:38
doesn't make you a millionaire . You're such
14:41
a fucking liar , isaac . No , but investing
14:43
a portion of the profits does . I took a big
14:45
chunk of the profits from the book you don't believe I wrote
14:47
and I invested it into the stock market , the stock
14:49
split , and I made a fucking fortune
14:51
. Then I had a buddy dealing with overseas trademark
14:54
rights and I fucking made a shitload
14:56
of money off of that . That's what made me a millionaire
14:58
. You miserable dick . Wait , you
15:00
buy other people's trademarks in other
15:03
countries and charge them money to sell
15:05
their own fucking brand . Yes , there
15:07
was a lot of money in that shit . That's fucking
15:09
low , super fucking low . It's
15:11
not low , it's fucking business . Business
15:13
it's scamming someone who worked hard
15:16
for the right to be rich . If they're
15:18
too dumb not to trademark their name in a foreign
15:20
market , they deserve to get charged . Congratulations
15:23
, you have become a world-class
15:25
piece of shit . Good luck with
15:27
the blood money . Well , fuck you . Good
15:29
comeback . You fucking reprobate . You're a fucking
15:32
joke , dude . I'm a fucking joke . Refer
15:34
back to your business practices , dude
15:36
. Who do you think paid for Dad's funeral
15:39
, that so-called blood money
15:41
? Who do you think was paying for Dad to live those past two
15:43
years ? Sure as shit wasn't the fucking
15:45
slaughterhouse . They fired his ass and closed the
15:47
doors , didn't even fucking look back . Why
15:49
are you telling me this now ? We're brothers
15:51
, we're supposed to trust each other
15:53
. Trust each other . That's a fucking laugh
15:55
. You haven't trusted anyone since you cheated on your wife
15:57
. Hey , we have moved past that
15:59
. We are doing counseling once
16:02
a week because of my fuck up . I
16:04
admitted it , I fucked up . That
16:06
was two years ago anyway . You're
16:08
the one that diddled someone else . I told
16:11
you we have worked on our marriage . Now fucking
16:13
drop it . You haven't moved on at all , you moron
16:15
. You are constantly angry . You piss and moan
16:17
about everything . You think everyone is out to
16:19
screw your wife . You blame everyone
16:22
for shit that you caused . You are a miserable
16:24
prick . What the fuck's that supposed to
16:26
mean ? Comes a point in every man's life , they need
16:28
to realize they're chasing their own tail . Riddle me
16:30
this dickhead . Have you ever manned up
16:33
and taken responsibility for any of your
16:35
actions ? Have you , like I said , you
16:37
blame everybody but yourself . God forbid
16:39
the words I'm sorry ever spew from your fucking
16:41
mouth . Half the shit you've done to me in
16:43
the past two days renders an apology . Is
16:45
that what you want ? An apology ? Well
16:47
, I'm sorry . I'm sorry . You're such
16:50
a fucking cunt . Oscar
16:52
nominee Noah Peterson , is
16:54
that how you apologize to Kirsten you better
16:56
fucking stop bringing my wife's name into this
16:58
. There hasn't been a thought in your mind that your wife
17:01
got revenge , what you know ? I wouldn't be
17:03
the least bit surprised if there was another man's
17:05
baby brewing in her belly right fucking now . Fuck
17:10

17:12

17:21

20:11
destroyed me . She was my
20:13
world , dude . I couldn't fucking
20:15
take it being in the same city . She died in Everything
20:18
she taught me about life , about
20:20
women . She was my fucking
20:22
mother . Oh , fuck off . You
20:24
barely said a word at her fucking funeral . It's
20:27
like you couldn't fucking be bothered . Seeing her
20:29
put in the ground destroyed me in ways I can't even
20:31
put into words , noah . It fucking
20:34
destroyed me . I had a breakdown
20:36
that involved a shitload of whiskey and
20:38
thinking about blowing my fucking brains out
20:40
. I wanted to get far away from
20:42
anything that reminded me of who she was
20:44
and I just I had
20:47
to jump ship . She was my
20:49
mother , too , and
20:51
I was going through the exact same thing
20:53
, and the only person I felt
20:55
would get what I was going through abandoned
20:58
me . He just fucking
21:01
vanished . Dad
21:03
was there , but he was going through
21:05
his own loss with the love of his life
21:07
. I needed my goddamn
21:10
brother , the only goddamn
21:12
person that would fucking understand my plight
21:14
. And you laugh . You
21:18
could have called you , fucking idiot . You
21:20
think Dad's funeral is any different ? I
21:23
needed my goddamn brother , and you refused to
21:25
go . How do you think I feel I
21:27
can't bury another parent ? Not after Mom
21:29
, not after how it obliterated
21:32
me . Why
21:35
the fuck do you think I came to get you ? You honestly think I can
21:37
do this alone ? Fuck
21:39
you and your goddamn ego
21:41
, afraid of how it's gonna make you
21:43
feel . What about how
21:46
I feel , noah ? You aren't the only one
21:48
hurting . I'm fucking dying on the
21:50
inside . Our father is dead
21:52
. He's fucking dead . There
21:54
is nothing either of us can do to change that
21:56
. I can't just come back with a smile
21:59
on my face and shake hands with dad's old pals
22:01
. The world is crumbling around
22:04
me and I don't know what the fuck to do
22:06
. Bitch , I have kids coming
22:08
into this world in a few weeks , so
22:10
I'm about to be a dad
22:12
, and the only person I knew who
22:15
would come show me how to be
22:17
a good father is fucking dead . I'm
22:19
fucking scared , isaac . Oh
22:21
, come on , don't try to guilt trip me with this shit
22:24
. Guilt trip you , motherfucker . I
22:26
have a wife that is dealing with all of this
22:28
bullshit on top of being pregnant
22:30
. I have to comfort her and suck
22:32
up my feelings , because the moment I break
22:34
down , the whole entire ship goes down
22:36
. Now I'm fucking losing
22:39
it because of you and
22:41
I'm afraid I may not be the man I need
22:43
to be for my fucking family . How
22:47
the fuck am I supposed to know what to do with my
22:49
life , with my son's life ? I
22:51
have no idea what to do and I just
22:54
need my god damn brother Get
23:06
up . I don't need your help , just get in the
23:08
fucking truck . I'll need your help . Just
23:11
get in the fucking truck .
