Sh*t.

[JAKE] You okay?

[EXHALES]

You missed your pick-up.

I got stuck in town.

You got stuck in town?

Yeah, who was the Jones in the truck?

He just dropped me off.

You f***ed him?

- [SIGHS] Did you f*** him?

- No.

[SIGHS] Did you f*** him, Star?

Look at me.

- What did you do?

- Look at me.

Did you f*** him?

- Star...

- [WHISPERING] No, I didn't.

I got his money.

I thought we could maybe get a trailer

in the woods together.

[GASPS]

Don't f***ing move. Just stop.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Just tell me.

I just thought

maybe we could leave together.

[SNIFFLES]

What do you care? You f*** Krystal anyway.

[GRUNTS]

F***, man!

[CLATTERING]

You f***ed him.

You f***ed him.

You f***ed him!

Jake.

[BOY] Hey, Star, hurry up!

We need to pack up!

[PAGAN] I liked that house. Bye, house.

- Hey, what's your name?

- Drema.

Drema, I'm Star.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

[DREMA] It's so cute.

Hey, yeah. Put it on Drema. [LAUGHS]

It's got really big eyes.

[JJ] I got the munchies.

Twelve miles.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[BOY] Are we there yet?

[RAP MUSIC PLAYING]

[RUNT] Hey, yo, what's this place called?

- [COREY] Rapid City.

- [QT] We're in Rapid City, bro.

[RUNT] Hey, do they got,

like, white water rapids?

[QT] No, they got Krystal's family here.

She grew up here and sh*t.

- [COREY] There's Taco Bell!

- [ALL] Taco Bell!

[BOY 1] I've been looking for Taco Bell.

[BOY 2] F*** you, Burger King.

- [KALIUM] Bro, that's a skate spot.

- [RUNT] I found my smoke shop.

[RILEY] Cheap smokes, vapor,

e-cigs, hookahs.

[JJ] No, I don't wanna

eat in there. It's stupid.

[COREY] I bet Jake's

waiting for us at the hotel.

[RAP MUSIC CONTINUES]

[BOY] He never ran off before.

About goddamn time.

# B*tch, you guessed it

# Whoo!

- Let's do this.

- [COREY] Get our bags. Get our bags.

- [JJ] Somebody grab my bag.

- [KALIUM] F*** this van!

[MUSIC STOPS]

[JJ] Y'all grab my bag. I'm not doing it.

- QT!

- Yes, ma'am!

- [SHAUNTE] Come on, Bella.

- [AUSTIN] What up?

[SLURRING] I got three rooms.

You deal with this sh*t, 'cause I can't.

- All right, I got you.

- Star, I gotta talk to you.

Hey, guys, we got three rooms.

Two for the boys, one for the girls.

23, 36...

- [JJ] Bam! 36.

- ...12.

[PAGAN] We're 12?

Thanks.

[KRYSTAL] Yo!

You think you're special.

You know, I pay Jake... girl-money.

A hundred dollars

every time he finds a girl.

Where you think Drema came from?

And he fucks all of them, too.

Y'all don't mean nothing to him.

I've been trying to think

if I should keep you or not.

Did you make any money in Williston?

Yeah, I did, but I ain't got

the slips for you.

That's cool. Just give me the money

and give me the slips later.

Did you think that was Jake?

That's Bill.

- Bill, that's Star.

- Hey, Star.

And that's Frank.

Jake's gone.

I told him he can't come back again.

Anyways...

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[KRYSTAL] Hey, so this is all... Hey!

- [COREY] Krystal's f***ing talking.

- [BILLY] Yo, everybody.

[KRYSTAL] So this is all poor people.

I've got family from here.

It's just poor people like y'all,

so they'll pity you because

you're just like them.

- [AUSTIN] Got you. Got you.

- [KRYSTAL] So just act normal.

- Have normal conversations.

- [BOY] Yes, ma'am.

I'll pick y'all up here at 8:00. Okay?

- [QT] Right here?

- [KRYSTAL] Right here.

- Yeah.

- All right.

Good enough.

# I said, one, two, three, four, five

# This crew don't take no jibe

# Six, seven, eight, nine, ten

# Let's back it up and do it again

[CHANTING] 071, 071, 071!

[QT] Hey, let's get that money, crew!

# It's all about the money

# Money, money

[KRYSTAL] Yeah, try getting money from

these motherfuckers, see what happens.

[TV PLAYING]

Hey, is you guys' dad home?

- No.

- What about your mom?

Our mom...

- Hello.

- Hey.

- Is that your favorite band?

- No. Come in.

Come in?

My favorite band is Dead Kennedys.

[BOY EXCLAIMING]

And their best song is "I Kill Children."

Know it?

Have you heard "I Kill Children?"

No. How does it go?

It goes...

# I kill children, I wanna see them die

# I kill children to make their mamas cry

[CHUCKLES]

That's good.

[BOY EXCLAIMS]

What are you looking for?

- Candy.

- Candy? I don't got any candy.

I'm sorry.

- You wanna see that?

- What that? Spider-Man?

Yeah, Spider-Man. Do you want it?

Uh-huh.

Okay. I'll put it on your shirt.

[CAT MEOWING]

- Pin it right here.

- Okay.

On your shirt.

My mom's sleeping.

Uh, what about your dad? Where is he at?

He's in Omaha.

You guys think I could have

something to drink?

We have Mountain Dew.

- That works.

- All right.

[SODA FIZZES]

[GIRL HUMMING]

- There you go.

- Thanks.

You're welcome.

- I should probably get going.

- Wait.

Can I sing you the rest of the song?

Yeah, go for it.

# I kill children, I wanna see 'em die!

# I kill children to make their mamas cry

# Crush 'em under my car

I wanna hear them scream

# Poison their Halloween candy

to ruin their Halloween #

- That's awesome.

- Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm gonna go to my room and play.

[FIRECRACKERS POPPING]

[BOY] Oh, yeah!

[CHILDREN CHATTERING EXCITEDLY]

Hey.

- [HORN HONKS]

- [QT] Finally the bus is here.

- [DREMA] Is that a wild dog?

- [BOY] I'm just high...

- Get some decent air conditioning.

- [QT] She's sweating her ass off, too.

[KAT] I'll just take

a picture of you guys.

I would not wanna have dreads right now.

I couldn't even f***ing sell.

It's too hot.

- Like this.

- [BOY] How much'd you make?

[COREY] I didn't make sh*t.

[BOY] You didn't make nothing?

- Take me from behind.

- Get away!

[SHRIEKS]

I'm like, "Where do you think

you're going, b*tch?"

[SEAN] She's like, "Yeah! Yeah!"

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

Jake's in the van.

[ALL CHEERING]

Where the f*** you been?

Yeah, where the f*** you been, bro?

- Hey, let's go.

- Running off like that.

[MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING]

[RUNT SINGING ALONG]

Yeah.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[ENGINE STARTING]

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]

# She grew up

# On the side of the road

# Where the church bells ring

and strong love grows

# She grew up good, she grew up slow

# Like American honey

# Steady as a preacher, free as a weed

# Couldn't wait to get going

# But wasn't quite ready to leave

# So innocent, pure and sweet

# American honey

# There's a wild, wild whisper

blowin' in the wind

# Callin' out my name

like a long-lost friend

# Oh, I miss those days as the years go by

# Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
