- Hey, buddy.

Oh, I'm sorry

to interrupt your party.

- Who's that?

- Oh, this is lorna.

Watch out, you know.

The third eye will see

right through you, bozo.

- I'm gonna take

a break, alright?

We can hang out a minute.

Wanna get high?

- No.

Look at me, Warren, okay?

I'm already

pretty f***ed up, right?

- Okay. Come on.

Well, I guess, congratulations?

I mean, I -- I didn't even

know you were with someone?

- Well, I'm not, a**hole.

- Well, uh, I -- I don't know

what you want from me.

I'm not the father.

- Look, I just need to know

what I'm dealing with, man.

- What you're dealing with?

I mean, you're pregnant.

I mean, you can just get it

taken care of or whatever.

- I know what a f***ing

abortion is, alright?

I'm not f***ing pregnant. I'm

some kind of goddamn freak show.

You know? So. Come on, I know

you were there that night.

Just tell me what happened.

- He told me

to take you to them.

- Who?

- Gabriel.

- Alright, so what, man? So,

you're still doing runs for him?

- Well, yeah, you know,

he's got these photos of me.

- Alright, alright, alright.

What kind of photos?

- Oh, just these photos

of some girl --

- what's this have

to do with Lou, hmm?

- Look, he's in tune

with this guy.

- What guy?

- What does this

have to do with me?

- I don't know, some guy came

to town and he found Gabriel

and he's trading him

girls for drugs.

- What's his name,

this f***ing pervert?

- Oh, man, let me ask you

a question, alright?

Like -- like what the f***

did you think

Gabriel's gonna do with me, huh?

- Look, Lou, I'm sorry.

I didn't know

what they were up to.

I just, I just thought

we were making some money.

- Oh, you wanna make money

off of this?

Come on.

What am I supposed to do?

- We need a name, yeah.

We need a name!

Oh, I -- I only heard

Gabriel call him Isaac.

- Isaac.

Alright, that's better.

- But, Lou,

you gotta try and lay low

'cause Gabriel's got people

in tune for all kinds of sh*t.

You know,

they're peeping everywhere.

- It's kinda hard

to lay low right now.

Alright, 'cause I'm walking

around with a f***ing growth.

You know? Like,

nobody f***ed me, you know?

- Okay, I get it, I get it.

Just..

Jade's dead.

- How did Jade die?

- I don't know.

But he's dead

and Gabriel doesn't care.

He doesn't care about you

he doesn't care

about f***ing Sadie

he doesn't care about anybody.

- F***ing squirmy,

f***ing wormy, right?

- Hey, I'm sorry. I..

- Oh, yeah.

F*** you, man.

- Hey, Lou.

Hey, Lou, I'm sorry, Lou.

F***, sh*t, f***, f***.

- I haven't seen her

in a couple days.

- I need you to check on her.

- It's kind of a drag

to drive up there at night.

- Yeah, but Isaac is worried.

- I'm not interested

in anyone, Gabriel, okay?

Just need you to make money.

You don't even know this guy.

Just shows up and wants girls.

Doesn't even f*** 'em.

- Seems like

an easy turnaround.

- And what does he

want them for?

- I don't care

what he wants them for, Sadie.

They're f***ing runaways.

- Now, what?

- Says he's almost done

getting really close.

- Close to what?

This guy's using you

just like the marines did.

You're just too thick to see it.

- You think I'm thick?

- No, I don't.

- You really think this lawyer

is gonna help you find your kid?

- I can pay him.

- And then what?

What makes you think

he's even gonna wanna see you?

Is he even gonna remember you?

I mean, how long has it been?

What have you

been saying lately?

You're 35...37.

- Shut up, Gabriel.

- If you wanna see him..

...finish this, go check on Lou.

- Yeah, do you remember,

um, what they looked like?

We know, okay, we know

there's more than one

because Warren said

"them," right?

- Alright, look,

i don't know, okay?

I don't know, I don't know

who the f*** Isaac is, alright?

I'm sick of trying to f***ing

remember, you know?

- Yeah, i-- I -- I know

what you're feeling, Lou.

You know, I know -- I know..

I know what abuse is, huh?

- I'm a mess.

- And -- and I know

what it looks like.

And -- and, ahem, and I know

you wanna -- you wanna leave.

You know? I -- I know you

want to avoid these realities.

But, uh, Lou, y -- uh,

you need to take control

of your experience, you know?

You -- you -- you really can't

hand it over to them.

- Just do me a favor, would ya?

Just don't talk to me

about vibes, okay?

I'm having a hard enough time

just managing

my f***ing experiences,

okay, right here.

This dimension

or whatever the f***

you f***ing hippie sh*t.

- Alright?

- Oh, what's happening?

- Um, you -- you -- you

aren't pregnant, Lou. See?

- What is that?

- There -- there was a

a small foreign object.

I -- I could see it.

It was -- it was, like

slightly raised beneath my skin.

It was, like, an oval bean

but it was,

it was stretched slightly.

And it -- it, um, it -- it

had magnetic properties.

I don't know how it got there.

You know, there was no scar,

just this -- this lump

under my skin.

And -- and -- and

it was, it was mine.

But they, uh...

They strapped me down.

They cut me open

and they stole it.

When they removed

this implant from me

it had started

fusing to my nerves.

- I don't know.

Umm.

It sounds like

a nightmare, dude.

- Yeah.

- Yeah. It's f***ing messed up.

I gotta piss.

- I'm just saying.

They -- they thought I had been

exposed to other technologies

languages, even.

- What are you talking about?

What do you mean,

like outer space?

- Yeah, an alien race.

- Uh, listen, alright, listen,

i don't -- I don't talk about

aliens when I'm getting

high, alright, man?

I have a strict policy,

alright?

Just don't do it.

- Yeah, well, you know,

you -- you can forget

this bullshit of outer space

because these men

they're willing to kidnap

and cut open their own people

searching for secrets, so even

if you don't believe they do

and they won't stop, Lou.

I mean,

they're never gonna stop.

- Alright. Well, ugh!

Uh. Ah.

You know what, uh,

I'd be happy to let them

cut this sh*t outta me

right now.

Right?

I don't care

what they use it for.

- I -- I don't know

who these -- these men are

but, uh, you know,

they -- they wanna control us

because, uh..

...be -- because...

You know, they're scared.

- What? They're scared?

- Yeah, they -- they

can't accept something

they don't understand.

- Uh...Whatever this is..

...it feels very real, you know?

Very inside the dimensions...

Of this body.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Man.

I could really go for an out

of body experience right now.

- Yeah, yeah.

Well, why -- why don't I clean

up your foot for you, huh?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- That duct tape's

gonna be a b*tch.

- It's okay.

Okay, okay,

you try to rest, honey.

- Yeah?

- You try to rest.

Sorry.

There you go, there you go,

there you go.

- Ah!

- Sorry, sorry.

Oh, honey.

- Lou!

Hello?

I didn't realize

you had company.

- Neither did I.

- Sorry, I -- I -- I didn't

mean to fall asleep last night.
