Study this script for its raw, naturalistic dialogue and its unflinching portrayal of a charmingly toxic protagonist. The structure masterfully balances dark comedy with uncomfortable realism, while the vivid Texas setting becomes a character in itself, grounding Mikey's delusions in a world of strip malls and humidity. Baker and Bergoch craft a character study that keeps you riveted despite—or because of—its moral ambiguity.
