Okay.

Alright, I'll stay with you.

Well, I was kinda thinking that

maybe I needed some alone time.

You know, I'm gonna go hand out

some resumes tomorrow and..

- Right.

- Focus.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Yeah, it's probably better.

But we could hang out after.

Yeah, sure.

- Don't be upset.

- I'm... I'm not.

Okay.

- Sleep well.

- Okay.

Hey, you.

Hi.

Are you good

at folding blankets?

Not really.

Why don't you come

a little closer?

You afraid of me?

You're all dressed up.

Yeah, I had to go to a wedding.

Are you leaving?

Yeah.

'Cause you could stay here

another night if you wanted to.

I wouldn't mind.

I mean..

I found a movie on Africa

we... we could watch.

I think I have a couple

of beers.

Well, I have a better idea.

Come on. Let's go.

Oh, that's more like that.

- Will you just stop.

- It's good luck.

It's good luck.

Oh, what's that?

- Hi.

- Hi.

- What would you like?

- I'll have this.

Hmm, but what's in it?

What's in that?

Um..

Lime juice, tequila, um..

- Okay, sounds good.

- Triple sec.

I'm gonna give her

a good ass tip.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Hey, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

Hey, how're you ladies doing?

We're good.

You know, we're just

trying to make a buck

and waiting to die

like everyone else.

Well, I'm Chase.

I'm Francesca

and this is Dawnie.

- Hi, Dawn.

- Hi.

- Where are you from?

- Willowpea.

- Can I buy you ladies a drink?

- Oh, we're fine.

We have drinks.

Alright, uh, how about a shot?

Anything, whatever you want.

Ooh, whatever I want.

We wanna play blackjack.

We want to play..

Against you.

Yeah.

With your money.

You wanna gamble

with my money, against me?

Yeah.

We got the good luck charm

right here. Dawnie.

Oh, you're the good luck charm?

Hit me, baby.

14. You need a 7.

- I got a 7.

- Let's see it.

- Mashallah!

- Aah!

- Okay.

- Damn.

I like it when you

make me money.

You like it

when I make you money?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Ooh.

Well, I'm glad

you feel that way.

Winners. -You know what?

I'm gonna close.

- Withdrawing?

- Yeah, I'm done.

Thank you very much.

You guys have a lovely evening.

Thank you. -Yes, thank you.

Where are you.. Hey, no!

Alright, let's go.

That's $400. I counted it.

- Thank you.

- Where you going?

- Oh, hey.

- Oh, excuse me.

- Hey, sorry.

- Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

It's so pretty.

You should see Vegas.

What made you come back

to Willowpea?

I got a gig..

At, uh,

this bar called Blue Room?

- You're a stripper?

- No. No, I'm not a stripper.

I'm a bartender.

It's not that bad.

You should come by sometime.

I'm drowning.

Save me.

- Now you're drowning.

- Save me.

Ah!

You weren't afraid.

Where did your necklace

come from?

It's from Seattle.

I'm going to move there.

Why?

Because in Seattle

there is mountains.

They have fish market,

and they have..

The ocean.

I've never been to the ocean.

You've never been to the ocean?

That's like... you know,

things tears are made of.

My parents never took me.

I tried to run away once.

- You tried to run away?

- Yeah.

How feisty.

I walked to the end

of the town and this..

Guy pulled over and asked me

if I needed a ride

and I got scared

and I went home.

Maybe, maybe that was your.

Out of Jail Card?

Or maybe it was my death trap.

I mean, yeah, he could have

slit your throat and..

And raped you, but so could

a man crossing the street.

Maybe some things

are supposed to happen.

Like, maybe I'm supposed

to stay here forever.

Let's face it,

10 years, I'm here..

I've 3 kids, breast cancer..

And my husband will have,

like, a really big beer gut.

I'm sorry if that's your fate.

But maybe it's not, you know?

I've done... a lot of things..

And I have,

I have a lot to learn.

But... you know, I'd say..

One thing..

That I've learned that's true..

Is that..

If you don't make

your own choices in life..

The world will make them

for you.

That can be very dangerous.

I'm a dolphin.

Hi, John.

Suzy, come on,

play in your own room.

This is gross.

Yeah, okay.

You got fired from Super Town?

John wants to talk to you.

- Hello.

- Hey, kiddo.

I told your mom that

if you wanna do some temp work

in my agency,

we can help you out.

Okay.

I'm here for you.

I'm worried about you.

- Thanks.

- Let me talk to Linda.

Hold on, John.

Did you put money in the drawer?

Right.

So you said you've worked

as a cashier before.

Every couple of hours,

you'll do a walk around

make sure

everything looks decent.

Make sure that there's

condiments and napkins

on every table.

Make sure

that you watch out for spills.

You know, if it gets sticky

there and somebody falls..

Ugh, you know,

that could be a disaster.

You can start on Monday.

So did any of those

girl check come after you?

After, like, those..

One of them did.

And Alison gave me two

black eyes.

- Oh, gosh!

- Two days before I..

- Oh, man!

- It was awesome. You know what?

- What?

- Because I had already had a..

Uhhuh. -And she said the first

words, "Stay away from John."

Oh, wow.

- Can I buy?

- Thank you.

Hi, honey, how are you?

Oh, come on, guys. What else do

you have to spend your money on?

Yeah, you think? That's why

they got rid of her ass.

This girl

wasn't happy with boss man

about how much he had to pay

and she got caught

doing something

that she shouldn't have been.

In or out, honey?

From around here, townie?

I know the bartender.

Pepper.

Pepper? Bartender?

Fresh meat.

What, are you just gonna stare

or you wanna buy it?

No, I'm okay.

Come here.

Come here.

First one is on me.

- What is that?

- It's really chill.

It's just prescription, my

grandma eats it for breakfast.

- I've never..

- It's okay.

Just close one nostril.

Like this.

Then take a deep breath.

Yup. Good girl.

- Ow.

- Alright, sit down.

Put a little color on you.

- I'm Jaz.

- I'm Sarah.

Close.

Sweetie, you don't wanna use

your real name here, okay?

You don't want these customers

knowing anything about you.

Close.

Maybe something that

sounds like Sarah.

Okay. Good luck.

Next up is a newcomer.

For her first time

on stage tonight

is the sexy Sahara.

Alright, let's hope she's not

as dry as the desert, guys.

Take your top off, sweetie.

At least we got someone to

take over the kiddie touchers.

Hey. Wow.

You have balls.

It's pretty embarrassing.

Yeah, well, uh,

I didn't really recognize you

with this, uh, all this makeup.

Yeah.

What do you really do here?

Um..

I, uh, I..

I keep, I keep the girls happy.

Yeah. That's what I do.

Pepper?

Just give me a second, Jessie.

You're not supposed to be

in here.

Yeah, I... I am,

I'm not supposed to be in here.

Can't she just stay,

uh, for a second?

I can keep a secret.

Okay.

Wait, where did you guys go?

- Vegas?

- Reno.

- Reno. Oh, I see.

- Yeah.

- Oh.

- Thanks.

Welcome.

- There you go.

- Thanks.

- How much was that?

- Free.

It's a good deal.
