Future Weather Page #5

live here for a while.

You're the only one who gets

what's going on in the world.

I am not equipped

to deal with this.

Let me get you someone

to talk to, okay?

I don't need someone

to talk to.

I need a place to stay.

You don't have any kids.

No, actually, we're

expecting a baby.

You trying to get

yourself killed?

Your car's already

doing the job, a**hole!

And your selfish,

ignorant oil addiction!

What are you lookin' at, huh?

Are you ready for

flooding the eastern

seaboard?

You ready for refugees camping

out in your backyard?

What do you think the

future's gonna look like?

Tropical paradise?

Think it's gonna be

nice and warm?

Hell, there's not

gonna be any food.

Welcome to my future.

This is part of our problem!

Do you really need to buy

a new plastic water bottle

every day of your life?

It's made from oil,

the same stuff that gushed

into the Gulf of Mexico,

while we all just

stood around.

Lauduree.

You are a hypocrite!

Why would you want to bring

a child into this world?

It's cruel, and you know it.

I was born with

a mother and a father,

and I don't know

where they went.

And that's how your kids

are gonna feel

when the sh*t hits the fan.

Lauduree!

It's time to come home.

I'm not getting in that car.

It's poison.

You're poison.

Hello?

Hey.

Is Greta there?

One second.

Um...

she's in the bathtub.

Can I take a message?

She hasn't picked up

for three days.

You, uh... you okay?

Yeah.

Not going to do

that anymore.

I'm tired of being

half here.

I'm tired of putting

my life on hold!

# Time heals

stomachaches

Why are you wearing makeup?

It's an experiment.

What kind of experiment?

To see whether people

will treat me differently.

Are they?

You're the first

person I've seen.

Do you want people to

treat you differently?

That would be bias.

I can't introduce bias

into my experiment.

Do you think I'm attractive?

Yeah.

Do you think you could

like me forever?

Probably.

Then for the experiment,

I need you to kiss me.

Okay.

I still have that feeling.

Where is it?

In my chest.

What does it feel like?

Tight and panicky.

It's like I have no future.

Everything's your future.

Right this second is.

Can I kiss you,

to see if that has a result?

Oh, my god!

My baby!

Come here!

Ohh...!

I came back for you, Ree!

I came back for you!

Shh. Shh.

Let me look at you.

You're a real lady now,

aren't you?

Feels like you've been

gone for a year.

Well, time moves

slowly when you're little.

I had to give up my project.

We'll just...

we'll start a new one

just as soon as you

get home, okay?

It's too late.

Ree, you're gonna be

so proud of me.

I've found us a place

by the beach,

in San Diego.

With a patio for your plants.

And it's real close to school,

so you can walk

without having

to take the bus,

just like you're

always talking about.

And there is nature

everywhere in California.

Sound good?

Yeah?

Okay.

All right, will you just

help me up now?

Okay. Okay.

Okay, we gotta hustle,

though, okay?

Will you... will you just close

up that back right there?

Just give it a real good shove.

I was puttin' that TV

in the back,

and just as I was jumping out,

I thought I shouldn't

leave it loose like that.

It'll roll all around,

and I landed right on my ankle.

Ohh!

I just gotta think for a second.

Maybe you should take a nap.

A nap?

Oh, god.

We have to go, Ree!

What am I gonna do?

I killed it.

Just until Missouri.

Rooster! Rooster!

Rooster!

Are you ready for

a whole new life, Ree?

- Let's do it.

- Okay.

All right, you've got it in park.

Now, let's turn that key.

That's it!

Now... put it in reverse.

Yeah, just take your

foot off the brake.

- You got it, Ree!

- Whoo-hoo!

See ya, suckers!

Wouldn't wanna be you!

Au revoir!

# I woke up

# I was already me

# I was somewhat afraid

# I was something

# Peace signs

# I told you I could

no longer see

# I was right in the fire

# I was on my knees

# peace signs #

Okay, I'll be just a minute.

You be good.

- What was that? - Oh, yeah, you know,

it just started doing that,

So I thought we could

take it to, um,

this friend of mine,

just on the way out of town...

- who fixes cars.

- Mm-hmm.

It probably just

needs some oil.

You know I'm an idiot when it

comes to that kind of stuff.

Oh, my god!

So guess who's gonna help

me pay for beauty school?

Mom, I don't know if

we should keep going.

My dad! I met my dad!

Thought no one knew

where he was.

He's got a whole new family.

- Forgot his daughter, Ree!

- Mom.

Mom, I need you to focus. I need

you to tell me what to do. Mom!

You need to cut her,

Ree. Brake.

- I'm trying.

- Well, turn off, turn off.

Right here. Easy!

Goddamn it! What am I

supposed to do now?

Call a tow truck.

I can't afford

a tow truck.

What was the $300 for, then?

To get back to California!

Give me your phone.

No, let's just wait

for somebody to stop.

Give me your phone. I know

someone who can help us.

I'm at the juncture

of 29 and 70.

Who was that?

It's fine.

You should stay

off your foot.

California is beautiful, Ree.

You're gonna love it.

There's palm trees

everywhere.

The beach is real close by.

I'm gonna get

a convertible.

Custom-painted to

match the sky.

Why didn't you tell me

about the truck?

Because I wanted everything

to be perfect

when I came to get you.

Let's go.

Did you call her,

Lauduree?

Look, do not put

this on her!

- Get in the car! - Just stop

ordering me around!

I would love to leave you by

the side of the road, Tanya.

It's up to you.

Just let me make

a phone call.

- I am not waiting.

- Just wait!

Jesus Christ!

I swear to god, Tanya.

There is something

wrong with you.

I don't know whether I should call

the police department...

or the psych unit! Well, there's

no need to call anybody...

'cause I came to get

my daughter!

Well, what happened to you

out there, anyway, huh?

Did you lose all your cash?

You down to your

last plug nickel?

Get outta the car, Lauduree.

Give these to your Ma.

Lauduree, maybe you

can tell me

why you were

a half a mile away

from the gold post

pawn shop.

Just tell her, mom.

She's gonna find out, anyways.

I found a diamond ring in an ashtray

in the bathroom, and I sold it.

Lauduree, go upstairs.

Go upstairs!

Ree, I love you.

Jesus Christ, mom.

Did you just think that was just,

like, some bauble?

From my bathroom?

- What is...?

- Stay out of my life!

I did not ask you to come

back here, did I?

I did not ask to

come back here!

Well, then,

why are you here?

Because she called you!

I told her not to.

I said i didn't need you!

I didn't want to be here!

Somebody in the family

has a brain.

Do you know that every

barfly in Jackson County

wants to be a makeup artist,
