Your mom's awfully slow,

isn't she?

Let's go see what's going on.

Lorraine, how is it going

in there?

- I'll be right there.

- Lorraine, turn the water off.

We've got to get moving here.

Hello. Um, is this 911?

- This is Information.

- Who are you calling?

- Wait, it's not 911?

- No, this is Information.

Hello? What?

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Are you talking to somebody

in there?

Hold on.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

All right, you've got 10 seconds

or I'm taking Chad with me.

Okay okay.

Hey, Lorraine,

how are we doing in there?

Oh.

Yeah, we're gonna

leave you behind.

What the hell are you doing

in there, Lorraine?

Excuse me.

I was praying.

Mm. Good, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Sure you don't want

a burger, Lorraine?

I'm not hungry.

You don't know what

you're missing, Lorraine.

These are truck-stop burgers,

right?

None of those prefab fast-food crap,

right, bud?

You've got a good boy here,

Lorraine.

Look, how about

some French fries?

At least have a fry.

You've got to eat something.

Come on.

You need to eat something.

Thank you.

Yeah. Here.

It's pretty good.

What is that?

- Huh?

- Under the bag.

Oh, show your mom.

How about that, huh?

Amazing.

You can get anything

in a truck stop these days,

even love, so I'm told.

Well, he already has one.

His dad bought it for him.

Actually you're wrong about that,

'cause I asked him. He doesn't.

I'll see you in a bit.

I'm going up front, buddy,

going up front.

Jesus, Roy.

So remember

when I told you we had

a long drive ahead of us?

You never asked how far.

Well, I figured you'd tell me

if you wanted me to know.

You're in control

of the situation, remember?

Good girl.

You're learning.

Basically I've got a rendezvous

with a partner of mine

about 350 miles away.

You think you can make it there

with no hiccups,

no speeding tickets?

I think so.

I mean, yes.

Definitely yes.

- You're a fast learner.

- Yeah, thanks.

Slow down, Lorraine.

What are you doing?

There's a cop behind us.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

I'm nervous.

God damn it. Just take it slow

and calm down now.

We got lucky.

Oh, he's pulling somebody over.

That dude is wasted.

How do people go and drive

in that condition, you know?

It amazes me.

You're awfully self-righteous

sometimes for a bank robber.

Really?

Oh, I didn't know

that in the ground rules

I asked you to comment

on my character.

Sorry.

But I'll let it slide.

It's funny... it reminds me

of that shrink again.

I mean, he called me

a rigid moralist.

How about that...

a rigid moralist?

Well, if you really want

my opinion,

I mean,

I'd say you have

sociopathic tendencies maybe,

but, um,

I don't really know

what a moralist is, to be honest.

Well, it means that I have

a very strong, strict code

for what's right and wrong.

It means I don't deal

with compromises.

I don't accept them.

I believe what's right is right.

It's funny, you know,

'cause all these people out there...

they think if you're a criminal,

- you don't have any morals.

- Right?

It just isn't true.

It's garbage.

I mean, you look at all these

law-abiding people everywhere

and they don't know morals

from molasses.

And then these people...

they think, "Oh, I'm gonna play it safe

and I'm gonna do it this way."

And that makes them feel righteous.

They're nothing but sheep.

I think I'm a sheep.

What?

You think I'm a sheep?

Um,

no, I think you're a whole other

class of something else.

I think things got twisted up

for you.

You don't know

which way to jump.

That's what I find.

Tell me about your old man.

What's your tale of woe?

No tale. We're divorced.

So you divorced him

and he's not getting any tail, right?

Get that?

- "Tail"... you see what I did there?

- Yeah, a pun. I get it.

It's funny.

Yeah, it's funny.

Did he ever hit you?

Did he ever hit you?

Once.

Well, see, there you go.

You do know right from wrong,

'cause you didn't take it.

You left.

You took your boy

and protected him and yourself.

What else is there?

I think I've taken very good care

of my boy, you know?

Now why would you care

what I think?

- I'm a criminal.

That's what I am, right?

You care what a criminal thinks

of your parenting skills?

- That's a little crazy.

- Yeah.

This is nice, you know?

It's nice to just be able to have

a conversation with you.

I think the more

you get to know me,

the more we get along.

I think what it all

boils down to

is I like talking to you.

I haven't had that in a while.

So...

when are you gonna let us go?

I mean, you're probably gonna

let us go soon, right?

Huh.

Talk about the fickle females.

I mean, here we are.

We've just... kind of just had

a great conversation.

I'm opening up to you.

- I'm feeling kind of vulnerable and...

- No, that's not what I meant.

- That's not...

- Well, Lorraine, you do me right,

and I'll send you

and your boy off

with a smile

and a fond farewell.

But you do me wrong,

and you and little Chaddy

are really f***ed.

Are you threatening my son now?

I'm threatening you

and your son.

- You got your brights on?

- No.

Well, just slow down.

I think there might be

a speed trap up ahead.

Hello. Lorraine.

Hello, crazy woman.

Lorraine.

Don't be a wimp, Lorraine.

Who cares if you have the right

to be angry?

Just be angry, for God's sakes.

Lorraine, I said slow down.

Damn it.

Come on.

Come on, honey.

- Come on, come on.

Oh God. Help!

Help!

Lorraine!

Help!

- Come here.

- Chad, Chad!

- Get up.

- We're just playing tag, buddy.

- Run! Chad, run!

Get up.

What the f***

are you trying to do?

Huh? What did we

just talk about?

- Don't hurt my boy.

- What did we just talk about?

- Don't hurt my boy.

- Mommy.

Listen to me.

I thought you maced me

back there.

Is that Binaca?

I didn't even know

they still made that.

F***ing... I smell like

a f***ing candy cane, Lorraine.

Thanks.

Let's get back to the car.

Come on.

Hey, Chad, you're gonna

get in the back, okay?

Mom's up front with me.

I'm gonna drive.

- Okay, go ahead.

- I'll get him.

You get in. You get in.

Your mom's a real pistol, huh?

A real pistol.

It's okay.

Okay okay okay.

- Okay, let's try this again.

- Oh my God. Okay.

So I've got about 250 grand

and another 350 and some change

waiting for me

at the end of this road.

Good for you.

So if I get away with this,

I've got everything to live for.

If I get caught,

I've got nothing to lose.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Can you pull over, please?

No, we were just there.

You should have gone there, bud.

- I'm sorry.

- I have to go.

Please just pull over and I promise

I won't give you any more trouble.

You always say that.

Here, little buddy.

Got a cup.

I've done it before.

No. No no no.

Honey, put on your earphones.

Pay attention to your video game.

We'll stop soon, all right?

You can hold it.

We're not stopping, Lorraine.

I'm betting we are.

Okay, you want to bet?

Let's do it. Ante up.
