They're the same.

They are not.

I'm warning you...

where's the coupon?

There's no coupon.

Just shut up and eat it!

If you loved us...

yum! Disodiumi-n-n-

nosinate pyrodoxide

hydrochloride.

These are poison.

Poison?

Poison.

Mommy...

they're good...

they're good,

they're perfectly fine.

Eat 'em!

Is that what your mom

and I sounded like?

No, you never sounded like

you hated each other.

That's because we didn't.

We loved each other.

A lot.

It's just that we

couldn't seem to...

do you still love her?

Yeah.

Do you think...

never mind.

What?

Nothing.

It's an unfair question.

Poison! Poison!

Poison! Poison!

You promised us aqua boy!

Yeech!

You little b*tch!

Ooh, mommy said a bad word.

Get out of here!

Get the f*** in here

you little witch! Get

over there and sit down!

You're just like your father,

you little sh*t!

At least my father had the

good sense to leave you!

My first and, I guess,

last night in banco, Nevada.

It's probably one of the shittiest

places in the whole world.

I can't get the picture

of that poor man's body

in the mini-mart

out of my mind,

and the woman next door

won't shut up.

It's drmng me crazy.

On the other hand,

there's this boy, Jimmy.

Tall, intense eyes,

so incredibly gorgeous

I just want to die...

and he likes me!

Too bad we're leaving tomorrow.

Wait a minute...

this is going to

take some careful planning.

Hmm...

oh!

Oohhhh...

oh, God.

Aahhh!

Morning, Jo, birthday kiss!

Dad!

Not first thing in the morning!

Come on, Jo, I owe you one.

When we get back to L.A.,

I'm going to take out

for a totally awesome

birthday dinner, dude.

You can even bring that

boy I never liked.

I'm not friends

with him anymore.

Happy Birthday.

We can go to

that place you love,

it'll be great...

Deal? Deal?

Aah!

Aah!

Dad!

Aah!

Up and at 'em!

Ow! Ow!

Alright, maybe 14 is too old

for a babysitter,

but you're not safe hanging

around here by yourself.

Anyway, Louise and Amy

are a lot of fun.

On my way!

I thought I'd help...

It's only fair.

Um, hi, I'm Louise.

Hi.

Happy Birthday, joleen.

Amy!

Get up!

Entertain joleen!

What is this, the loud patrol?

Bye.

He's so perky in the morning.

Your father's a good sport.

No, he's not...

he's single.

Oh.

Well, come on in,

we'll have some fun.

Yeah, see if that fits.

Thanks.

Hi. You're joleen's dad,

aren't you?

Right.

I'm pinky sears.

Nice to meet ya.

What's this?

It's a secret.

Say hi to your mom.

Nice kid.

Can we fill 'er up?

No.

The gas truck didn't come?

No.

Someone in Nevada's got to be

able to sell us some gas.

Well, I got a friend,

she lives out by two rock,

about 30 Miles out of here.

She might have some.

Lotta good that does us, there's

no way of getting up there.

I didn't say that.

You've got gas?

Yeah... personal stash

for emergencies.

Can you sell us some?

No, might give you

a ride out there, though.

How much?

Whatever you want.

You know, man,

you're really starting

to piss me off.

I told you already,

I no longer worship

at the alter of mammon.

The word "money"

means nothin' to me.

Mr. duckett?

Does the word "thai stick"

mean anything to you?

Yeah... jail.

How about "please"?

That's the word.

Mr. duckett,

this fence here...

it's federal land.

It's 27 Miles on the road

over to two rock,

and only ten in this direction.

Naturally, the d*ckheads

put up a fence.

Of course, we gotta boogie

through here pretty quick.

What kind of federal land?

Nuclear dump.

God, I love the desert!

I still love him...

so, um...

do you wanna play some cards?

Are you sure?

You want some potato chips?

No, thank you.

Okay.

Oh! My soap's

about to start,

want to watch some TV?

Um, I think I'm going to

go for a swim.

Okay.

Hey, viney.

Howdy-do, ducky?

That's my girl!

Hi.

It's a pleasure

to meet you, too.

Look, have you

got any gas to sell?

No.

Bummer.

Now, hold on,

there's gotta be some gas

in the tank's of these cars.

Nope, they drain 'em

when they bring 'em in.

'course I might not have gotten

to that one there.

And there might be

a gallon in this 'un.

Yeah, now that I think of it,

there might just be

quite a few gallons around here.

You brung me a live one, ducky!

I thought you didn't

worship at the alter of money.

I don't, but old viney here

is a true believer.

Ha ha ha!

September fourth...

Happy Birthday to me.

So here I am

at the pool again...

Madeline's always telling me

to go for it...

easy for her to say, I always

end up feeling like a geek.

Dad was right...

I'm keeping my shirt on today.

God, that was embarrassing

for him to see me like that.

I want him to kiss me,

but I'm really scared.

What if he's not around today?

What if he's gone somewhere?

What if...

Hi!

Did I scare you?

No, I just wasn't

expecting that.

I know who you're waiting for.

I'm not...

I know you like him,

but there's a lot about him

you don't know.

Like what?

You got a problem, pink-ass?

No.

Then what are you staring at?

Nothing.

You saying I'm nothing?

N- no, I was just...

just leaving.

I'll see you later, joleen.

Bye, pinky.

Come on.

Why are you so mean to him?

Because he's just too weird.

Come on.

Come on.

I can't.

My dad wants me to stay here.

Do you always do everything

your daddy says?

Come on.

Jimmy... Jim... James...

I wonder if he's got

another girlfriend...

I could ask, but it seems like

a pretty dumb question,

and he's definitely not the kind

of guy who likes dumb questions.

So serious...

something about him, though,

is a little scary,

sort of dangerous...

but not really, not underneath.

I know that's just me

being afraid.

Well, here goes.

Where to?

Um, I dunno, someplace cold.

Alaska, maybe.

Ah.

From your dad?

Yeah.

Yep.

You wanna go with me?

Wouldn't it be great?

Hawaii first, then Switzerland.

We could leave tonight...

I know where to get the money.

Are you hot?

That's a dumb question.

Ah!

Ha ha!

Stop!

Stop! Aah!

Jimmy! Stop it!

Jimmy! Aah!

Stop it!

Aah! No!

Stop it!

Jimmy, stop!

Get off of me!

Jimmy!

I'm gonna kill you!

Come on!

Get off me!

Come on!

Let go!

Drink it!

Drink it!

Where are we going, the moon?

Whoa!

Do you think

he's still out there?

Don't worry, joleen,

I'll protect you.

Your turn, you suck.

This is the last of them.

How much gas have we got?

Eleven gallons!

That's five and a half apiece.

Amy's rabbit gets

36 to the gallon...

that's 200 Miles,

that'll at least get us

back to California.

How far can you get

on five and a half gallons?

I only get about eight or

ten Miles to the gallon.

Oh, well..

We can carpool,

we'll take the rabbit,

it'll be fun.

What, and leave my rambler here?

Yeah, the black market's

just bustin' for a gem

that gets a whole

nine to the gallon.

Okay, okay, are we done here?

I have to see if Jo's all right.

You know, when we were little,

me and Jimmy used to

hang together all the time.

You know, watch TV,
