All We Had Page #3

That's my favorite color.

How did you get so good at this?

Well, I just sort of got used

to building places to hide in.

Ruthie:
I like the stripes.

-Pam:
Yeah.

-Ruthie:
We need a theme.

Maybe we should do something

different for each bar.

Should we put paint on our face.

Can I paint your face?

-Absolutely not.

-Why not?

You take care of the universe,

the universe

will take care of you.

This is it, this is my year,

i know it.

So, what do you think?

It's cool.

This is just

for my foreign audience.

I'm gonna get famous in Asia

and then Germany,

and then after that,

I'm gonna conquer New York.

Wow.

Wake up.

Come on.

Come on, there's a surprise!

Ruthie:
The longer we stayed

at tiny's,

the more this town started

to feel like home.

Oh, I love your picture.

Ruthie, it's yellow!

Ruthie:
Yeah, it's yellow.

So, you said you needed

a place to stay,

and it just clicked for me.

You two could buy this place.

It's perfect.

It's cozy.

It comes fully furnished.

And you can get a great deal

because it's a foreclosure.

What do you think, ruthie?

I don't understand,

how can we afford a house?

We're broke.

I'm getting your mom

an amazing deal on the sale.

-What about the down payment?

-Not a dime.

Only have to sign some papers,

make the payments.

It's the same as paying rent

except you're making money

because you're investing

in a house.

-See, ruthie, it's a good thing.

-What about Boston?

Mother:
Boston's only

a couple of hours away.

And Vic says there's

a great high school here.

And we'll be saving money

by investing in a house.

-That's right?

-Yeah, yeah.

Ruthie, what do you think?

I love it.

If you love it.

I love it.

I love it.

I love it, I love it,

i love it.

-Initial there.

-Agreement for purchase.

Initial there, initial there,

initial there.

And then initial there.

Go ahead.

Hurry up so we can celebrate.

-I did it.

-You all done? Let's see

awww!

Blblblblblblbl!

Ya missed me!

It's not that funny.

Oh, pink!

I've never seen

that color before.

Mom, they're like almost dying.

Come on.

-Whoa!

-So much stuff.

It's possible one of everything

in the world is right here.

Oh, we're not stealing today,

ruthie.

Come on.

Wow!

It's so big.

We should apply

for a credit card.

A credit card?

Can we really qualify?

We own a house now.

Of course we can.

Smell good?

Ahh!

Ooh!

Mom, we need these.

Ruthie!

Look at that.

-My god!

-It's amazing.

I read somewhere that art

is a really good investment.

What about this?

It's 50 cents more.

I have to get this.

Mom.

That's cool.

No!

Man on TV:
...Across America.

Hello?

Hi.

Hi, I'm Patti.

With an I.

I live next-door.

-Hi, I'm ruthie.

-Hi, ruthie.

-Hi, Rita.

-Hey, Rita, nice to meet you.

Here you go.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

These are my kids.

Greta and Tommy and Jake

and alistair.

Hey, what did I tell you

about that dog?

Take that dog

back over to her house!

Someone's gotta be

watching Tommy!

I swear.

I get pregnant so easy, like you

could probably get me pregnant.

Anyway, the lady across

the street's a real b*tch.

She was my English teacher

in high school,

but now she's the principal.

That lady's gonna be

my principal?

Patti:
Yeah.

She's really into like, um...

Oh, god, who's that one writer,

the one who wrote, um...

What was it called?

"Spoon river anthology."

She's obsessed with

"spoon river anthology."

I didn't really understand that

it wasn't about a spoon,

but it's not.

It's like these dead people

in a community or something.

Anyway, you should get it.

-We should go say hi.

-Mom, no.

-Come on, ruthie.

-Mom.

Is that a new TV?

-Ruthie:
Mom, we don't have to.

-Want me to shut your door?

-No.

-Okay. I'll just leave it open.

Ruthie:
She looks mean.

This is embarrassing.

Hi, this is my ruthie.

She's starting

with you tomorrow.

Oh. I saw you moved into

hanson's old rat trap.

I'm Ms. Frankfurt.

I'm the principal.

Hi, I'm ruthie Carmichael,

ma'am.

I like your manners,

ruthie Carmichael.

And tell me, what do you like

about school?

Um...

I guess I like the library.

--Oh, I gotta go.

Ruthie:
Bye.

Hey, how is the house?

It's amazing.

-Yeah.

-You're so good to us.

It's amazing.

Baby, take off your panties.

It was so tragic.

No, my favorite wrestler

was andr the giant.

Do you remember him?

"I'll get you,

hulk hogan."

You remember him?

Rita, chuckling:
No.

Vic:
No?

Let's go to the couch, huh?

Rita:
Hmm-mm, I can't.

Vic:
Why?

Shh, shh, shh...

Gotta come back,

gotta come back.

Vic:
Okay.

-Rita:
Bye.

-Vic:
Bye.

Rita:
See you soon, Victor.

Oops, sorry.

Kicking you out!

Hey.

Ruthie.

Come on.

Wake up, time for school.

Come on, get up.

And once they find out

how smart you are,

they'll probably let you skip

ninth grade.

I was thinking...

You'd make a great president,

ruthie.

You know, with you

as president...

We wouldn't even need

a vice president.

Sure, mom.

Hey!

You're gonna do great.

Don't let anyone tell ya

any different.

Okay.

You go in there

and you kick some ass.

Okay.

Mom.

Girl:
Gina, is that you?

Who are you?

I'm... I'm ruthie Carmichael.

Are you a freshman?

Yes.

Do you have any weed?

No.

Oxys?

-No.

-Cigarettes.

None on me.

Dyke.

Woman:
I mean, I will say

that the coffee and doughnuts

were a nice touch

for the staff meeting.

It was very kind of you,

but I have to say it again

that you're only in charge

of the girls' choir.

Woman #2:
The girls' choir.

Woman #1:
And not the boys'.

We've talked about this before.

Not the boys.

It does not bode well

with the parents.

Okay.

Sorry, miss, excuse me.

We're closed.

No, I know, sorry.

I was just... driving by.

Uh...

Do you remember me?

You happen to remember me?

Sitting down there.

-Oh, yeah, you threw up on me.

-Well, almost threw up on you.

But, yeah, I wanted to say

how sorry I was about that

and that, you know, I was

a real mess.

And...

Uh...

Well, you look good.

Oh, I'm doing well,

thank you.

You know, it's one day

at a time,

and I just wanted to let you

know how sorry I am about that,

and, uh...

It was very bad behavior

and I know you were just trying

to do your job.

So I wanted to let you know that

I'm very, very sorry about that,

and it won't happen again.

And thank you for listening

to me.

That's it?

That's it. Thank you.

And you have a good night.

Girl:
Have you actually ever

done weed before? Dude.

Try, like tilt it.

Yeah.

Can you, um...

Here, let me, uh...

...shotgun you,

it will go down easier.

What's a shotg--

are you high?

Yeah.

I am, too...

Ruthie:
"We are evolving

backwards.

"Our brains are getting bigger

but malfunctioning more.

"In conclusion,

the human race is godless

"and self-destructive.

"It destroys its habitation

and eats its own.

"If we want to save our planet,

we have to start

by changing the way we think."

Let me hit that bottle again.

You think life's easy?
