My solution is we get out.

We find space of our own.

We find a way to be happy

outside of this f***ing house.

Oh, and we pay rent,

every month, every month,

for how many years,

becoming what,

slaves to this system

like everybody else.

And she becomes a slave, too.

She needs something different.

We need mountains. We need dirt.

We need air!

Can't live here.

And then what's the point?

What's the point of living here

for three years

with that f***ing b*tch?

Huh?

What were we doing?

What were we saving for?

Just part of this cycle.

We become part of this f***ing

cycle, the same goddamn sh*t!

Is that what you want?

What's your f***ing plan?

Sorry.

Don't be scared.

You have to trust me.

That was not me, okay?

I'm sorry.

- Yes, it was.

- I'm sorry.

Everything's going to work out.

Please don't come near me.

Don't do that.

Everything's gonna be fine.

I promise you.

You just have to trust me.

I'm gonna take care

of the three of us.

I can't get any traction.

I drive into work.

I got the sinking

sensation again.

It's right in my heart like...

couldn't breathe.

Like my heart wasn't made right.

When that happens, I just want to run away.

I get this urge...

to just go as far away

from everyone as possible.

Where would you go?

I don't know.

South maybe.

I'd always wanted to know

what it's like

to go fishing in the ocean.

The thing is...

I know how lucky I am.

Don't get me wrong, man, I'm...

I'm so grateful

for everything...

for Marty...

for Roxanne.

I won the lottery.

I just wish I could get

some traction.

The machine's designed that way.

Dangles a carrot so you keep trying.

But you'll never taste it, no way,

not if you play by the rules.

I bet you don't get too many

opportunities at a hotel like this.

It's not exactly the Ritz.

No.

But there are opportunities.

All those million-dollar

vacation homes on the mountain,

the ones that stay empty

9/10 of the year,

the owners fly in on

those tiny little airplanes.

It's the only way to access

this side of the range.

What happens, the wind

picks up, planes can't fly,

which means they're

stuck staying at this hotel

when their flights get delayed.

Happens all the time.

The rich ladies, I'm pretty

sure they keep all their jewelry

in their carry-ons.

Nobody wants to check

their diamonds.

Most of these people

I'm talking about,

they sleep one night here and they're

gone by sunrise to catch a plane.

Most of them never even leave their rooms.

But sometimes they check in early enough

that the restaurant's still open.

Husband usually orders a steak

and keeps his eyes glued on the game

while the wife slowly gets drunk.

There you are, enjoy your stay.

The trick is to only take one,

maybe two pieces, from each bag,

and you can't take the most

expensive thing either

or they'll know

they've been robbed.

You want them thinking

they must've just forgot to pack that ring,

not that it was stolen.

Well, if he was here,

he left it pretty clean.

That's usually what he does.

It's kind of his signature.

- Is this part of it, too?

- Is that fresh?

- How would I know that?

- Is it warm?

- You want me to touch it?

- Give it to me.

This is 48-hour scat.

He's got to be close.

Yeah... Why don't we

send a car around,

every house in the area,

and start knocking on doors?

Because he's too smart for that.

He's already increased his radius.

He's out there deeper

into the territory

where houses are

ten miles apart at least.

I give him one thing,

he's got stamina.

What do we think this means?

It looks like a cooking onion to me.

Or a round bale of hay?

Could be a map.

Looks like there's a a**hole

on the top and the bottom,

like an onion with...

with two a**holes in it.

A double, a double butt.

Oh, f***.

You're so f***ing good,

f***ing me just like that

with your cock.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, I'm so wet.

I have never been this wet

in my entire life.

I'm being honest with you.

Oh, my God, yes, I've been

waiting for this for so long.

Your cock is so...

Hello?

Don't stop.

Keep going.

I'm so wet.

Oh, baby, you're f***ing good, yeah.

Keep doing it to me just like that.

Just like that.

It's coming.

Oh, my God, you're coming?

Come for me.

- No.

- Come for me.

- It's coming.

- Yes, it's coming.

You're coming?

The inversion is coming.

Listen, mister, this is gonna be

a really expensive phone bill.

Head for the hills.

It won't be long now.

Get to the highest point.

You want to be closest to the sphincter

when the clock strikes midnight.

Ah, sphincter.

Dive in head first

and never look back.

This place has

so much opportunity.

It is America in a nutshell.

And we got to take advantage of it,

and it's a beautiful thing.

People come through here

and we rub shoulders with them

and these are people at the corporate

level, making decisions, hiring, firing,

people that think in

three-to five-year chunks.

We could be those people.

The only thing separating us

and those people is an MBA...

...Jonah? Did you ever think

about getting your MBA?

I'd have to start

at the bottom, get my GED.

You didn't graduate high school?

How did you get this job?

Showed them my criminal record.

What?

Jonah, I need to see you in my office.

In a minute.

Right now.

I think you know why I called you in here.

I'm not sure that I do.

Is there anything that you

want to tell me, Jonah?

Anything you want to come clean about?

I found these in your employee locker.

Irrefutable evidence, Jonah,

you're abusing caffeine.

You're right.

I've been abusing caffeine.

I just called you in

because I care about you.

I don't want to see your life

go down the crapper, alright?

- You understand?

- Mm-hmm.

Heck, I feel culpable

in all this.

You came in for help,

you asked for it,

and I turned a blind eye.

Listen, I've been

giving this thought.

A couple of young guys like us

shouldn't spend that much time

away from their family.

You're here all night,

you sleep all darn day.

You need a staycation.

A what?

Coined the term myself.

It means you take a vacation

but you stay put.

I want you and Marty

take a look at your calendar,

pick a weekend,

and then she and Roxy

can come stay here

at the hotel with you.

Pick out one

of those handicap suites

with plenty of leg room,

completely gratis.

You still have to work

your night shift,

but at least you get

to see more of them.

I suppose you'll want

your out now.

I did dip into your half

for some incidentals,

business expenses.

I was planning to pay you back

with my cut from future jobs

but you're pulling the plug

on the whole operation.

Where am I dropping you?

Bus station's fine.

Such a big-shot, Y2K.

What about you?

One scare and you're pulling

the plug on the plan?

- Yep.

- I thought we were friends.

I don't even know

your f***ing name.

It's bigger than Y2K.

That's just the tipping point.

We're about to witness

a cosmological shift that breaks all bonds.
