The Gentle Art of Making Enemies , Written

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

2:31

2:33

God , my

5:26

. Oh , come on . We used to go there all the time as kids . We have

5:28

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

9:39

calling you ? Did you leave your phone in the truck

9:44

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

10:15

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

16:50

a fucking cunt . Oscar

16:52

nominee Noah Peterson , is

16:54

that how you apologize to Kirsten you better

16:56

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

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 .
