[MAN] I think the address will work.

- Yeah, okay.

- All right.

[JJ] Let me see how much we owe here.

Give me 20 bucks, man.

- [MAN] Twenty bucks?

- [JJ] We take donations, too.

You can help us out with the,

you know, the gay club fee and sh*t.

Sh*t, them b*tches are expensive.

Hell, yeah.

- Here you go.

- I appreciate it, man.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Heya. He bought that sh*t, girl.

Sh*t. Hey!

Hey, can I ask you something?

You kids selling something?

Yeah, magazines.

I don't do magazines. Sorry.

Well, you don't have to read 'em.

You can use 'em to wipe your ass.

[ENGINE STARTS]

F***.

Hey, mister? Excuse me.

Do you have about five minutes?

Sure. What can I do for you?

Um, okay, so I'm selling magazines,

you know, like subscriptions and stuff.

Do you by any chance read those?

- I do. I like my magazines.

- Yeah? That's awesome.

That's actually really, really awesome.

Okay, um, so I have

a bunch of truck magazines.

It's like $35 for one year

and for two years, like 60 bucks,

and the more you buy 'em, the more

years you do, it just keeps going down.

Will it take long?

I'm running a little bit late.

I've got a drop up the road.

Are these your magazines?

Yeah, I read 'em from time to time.

I got boat magazines.

Just like those. I got some right there.

I know I got more.

And I got these ones, look.

No, I love boats.

You got a boat?

- Never even been to the ocean.

- Me neither.

I know it's crazy, but one day.

It's my dream.

How about you? What's your dream?

- No one's ever asked me that before.

- Well, somebody has now.

I wanna have my own place,

and my own trailer.

You know, somewhere with lots of trees,

like real big ones.

Yeah.

And lots of kids.

Well, you'll need a big trailer.

How much for these two?

- You're gonna get both of 'em?

- I figure I will.

Bye. Thank you.

[FLIES BUZZING]

Ugh.

Oh!

[HORNS HONKING]

- No, she's not.

She's only happy when her dude's around.

- Who's her dude?

- I don't have a dude.

Let me know who the f*** her dude is.

You don't know who the f*** her dude is?

- Let me know. Jake?

- I don't have a dude.

Yeah, she doesn't have a f***ing dude.

Yeah, she does. She's...

[IMITATES WHIPPING]

She's f***ing whipped.

Are you whipped?

Wow. That water's really dirty.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[URINATING]

[MAN ON RADIO] Gary on the line.

Gary, you went out with Tonya.

Tell us a little bit about the date,

how it went and what's going on.

Well, you know what,

thanks for having me on.

I thought it went really well.

Uh, you know, it seemed like

everything was going right.

We had a nice dinner, we danced...

[JJ] There's just some fast money.

Let's go rob the oil thingy.

Hell, yeah, you can.

I really wish I could meet the

motherf***er that invented selling dirt.

[COREY] Everybody looks

rich as f*** around here.

- [AUSTIN] They got big-ass nice trucks.

- [KALIUM] So much oil around here.

[SEAN] I know, right?

[JJ] Y'all, this little town

looks sketchy as sh*t.

There's a lot of f***ing

redneck trucks here.

I don't know if I'm gonna be

able to sell here. I'll get shot.

[KALIUM]

No, dude. I heard this story, right,

and in Montana, these two meth-heads

grabbed this woman,

killed her, raped her,

and then drove to this town

and bought a shovel at Walmart,

buried her in this town,

and then returned the shovel at Walmart.

- Yes, yes, yes. Now.

- Oh, sh*t.

[KALIUM] That's some f***ing whack sh*t.

- Now, Star, are you gonna walk alone?

- It felt a little dangerous...

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[MOTORCYCLE REVVING]

[QT] Where are we even staying?

This is the middle of nowhere.

Hey!

[RUNT] I'll be able

to look at the stars tonight.

I bet you it's awesome at night.

- [COREY] This place is big as f***.

- [QT] This is dope as f***!

[COREY] Where the f*** did Jake just go?

[QT] What the f***?

[BOY] Yo! The bathroom's sick too.

[RUNT] I'm sleeping outside!

[COREY] And we got a kitchen!

[KAT] We can have home-cooked meals.

- [COREY] There's a symbol on the wall.

- [KAT] Oh, look at that wall.

[SHAUNTE]

You got water to wash your dishes.

- [COREY] Are we picking rooms?

- [QT] No more catfish.

I hated that fish, nigga.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[COREY] Are we picking bedrooms?

[SHAUNTE]

Look. I already got a sign on my door.

[COREY] All right, this is my room.

All right, me and Kal got this room.

[JAKE HOWLING]

[BOY] Yeah, I want that one.

[KAT] This one's my room.

That's my room. Yeah?

[HOWLING CONTINUES]

Where's the necklace I gave you?

I gave it to Pagan for her birthday.

You gave it to Pagan? You always do that?

You always give presents away?

You don't keep 'em?

- New boots?

- Mmm-hmm. Present.

Sun-tan duty present?

I do other sh*t than sun-tan, you know.

This is like the most

expensive rent in the f***ing country,

and you're staying in a free house.

That's on me.

Good job. Real proud of you.

- F*** off.

- You f*** off.

Mmm.

[BOTH MOANING]

[GASPING]

[BOTH PANTING]

F***.

Oh, f***.

Do you have any dreams?

Dreams? Like future dreams?

Yeah.

Nobody's ever asked me that.

I mean, I collect...

I got a secret thing I'll show you.

What is it?

It's just better if I show you.

Well... [MUTTERS INDISTINCT]

to say it. I'll just show you.

[WHISPERS] Wake up.

[GASPS] Stop.

[AUSTIN] F***, man.

Shut the f*** up, man.

I'm trying to f***ing sleep.

- What?

You said you'd show me later.

- What?

- You said later.

- All right.

- [UNZIPS BAG]

I don't show nobody this.

So, my dream.

Here is...

...my dream.

I've been collecting this for two years.

[GASPS]

- It's like treasure.

- It is treasure.

All this stuff is from the houses?

Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
