of being a lonely woman.

Yeah, I get lonely. I do. So, big deal.

Women are lonely in the '90s.

It's our new phase.

We'll live.

I've been lonelier.

You take care.

And take care of those girls of yours.

I still want to meet them one day.

It's nice to see you.

You are so beautiful.

I got to go.

Sh*t!

She's so beautiful.

I mean, the words:

"Have to believe we are magic."

It's tripped out.

She's proposing some very weird, cool,

and scary sh*t.

Like what?

Like that feminine sh*t.

Going further than love.

Further than sex.

Like death.

Like, Don't Fear the Reaper.

The way I see it, chicks are the ones

who want to go to outer space.

That's why they push it so hard.

It's like Adam and Eve.

He was fine grooving in Paradise...

but Eve wanted something scary.

She wanted the f***ing edge.

She wanted to jump off cliffs

just so she could see what it was like to fall.

Risk.

That's what this song's all about, Shade.

That's what Eve wanted.

That's what Olivia wants.

And that's what I want.

- Has anybody seen Brett tonight?

- Who? Brett?

Yeah, I think I have seen Brett.

- Really? Is he here?

- I think his fiance's giving him head.

I'm sorry, that's your job, isn't it?

- He says you swallow, Trudi. Is that true?

- F*** you!

Stick around.

You want Brett, there he is, right there.

"I'll call you tomorrow, Trudi.

"Yeah, baby. No one's ever made me come

that way before."

That was really cute.

- What are you trying to do to me?

- What are you trying to do to me?

Nothing.

I'd kick you in the balls if you had any.

What's her problem?

She's pissed

because I won't go out with her.

Could you fill this for me, please?

- Cream and lots of sugar.

- Sure.

Okey-doke. Here you go.

Thanks.

Your thermos!

Wait!

I know the coffee sucks here,

but that's a nice thermos.

My mind just walks away sometimes.

Yeah. That's what men do, they walk away.

Wait.

- Can I give you a lift?

- What for?

For you to explain that remark.

Their emotions walk away.

Their minds walk away.

Everything they say to you walks away.

Make a left up here.

Their promises walk away.

- I saw you had this earlier. What is it?

- It's a mineral light.

It's like a lantern,

only it has an ultraviolet light in it. See?

- Look at your shirt.

- Look at your dress.

So, what? Is this your method?

You get girls in your car and show them

you can make them glow in the dark?

It's a necessary instrument for my work.

Make a right up here.

What's that?

Rocks.

I knew it. Another musician, great.

Not rock.

Rocks.

Look, that's the best I can do. I'm tired.

Yeah, sure.

Have fun with your rocks.

Excuse me.

- Mornin'.

- Morning?

No, it's not even morning yet,

get my meaning?

No, you don't.

I'll be direct. This is my day off...

and like most people,

I like to sleep in on my day off.

You following me?

What the hell are you doing,

making all this racket at 5:00 a. m.?

Installing a brand-new

Humphrey satellite dish, ma'am.

I can see that.

But I'd advise you...

that if you don't do this

at a reasonable hour, I'll have to call...

Mr. Humphrey-Satellite-Dish and complain.

But, ma'am, I am Mr. Humphrey.

But, I tell you what, I'll go.

I'll stop working for a spell

and go eat some breakfast.

You'd be welcome to join me.

It's a place right off the highway.

It's a Pull-Off Plaza.

No, thanks.

But I'll give the cook a call

and tell him you're coming.

If he's in a good mood,

maybe he'll spit in your eggs for me.

That's a good one.

Say, what's your name, anyhow?

Nora. Why?

Bet you can't guess what my name is.

You go ahead, try.

I don't know. Tom? Dick?

Moose?

You'll never guess in a million years.

You want me to tell you?

Hamlet.

Hamlet Humphrey.

That's pitiful.

Mom, do you have a pair of hose

I can borrow?

They are in my drawer.

Mom, do you want

blankets and sheets, too?

- Of course.

- Would you move? I'm gonna be late.

Who used all the tampons

and didn't buy a new box?

Not me.

I'm the dominant female in this house.

You're both following my cycle.

You get your period first. You're all bad.

I bought some. They're under the sink.

- What's this?

- Give it! That's mine!

- Birth control pills?

- You b*tch! I'm gonna tell Mom.

- I'm gonna tell Mommy!

- Just give it back!

- You jerk! Stop laughing!

- I'm not.

- Why did you hit her?

- I didn't. She fell.

- Not till she pushed me.

- She kicked me.

I can always depend on you

to cause trouble.

Big baby.

- Is this the only size you have?

- That's it, hon.

- How much is it?

- $2.25 and tax.

Bummer. I have $2.

How much you need?

Just $0.30.

Take it.

I can pay you back. My mom's just in there.

No sweat.

John's a big spender. Ladies' man.

Too young for you, John.

Thanks. I'll be right back with your change.

- Don't worry about it.

- Thanks.

So, where's this go, Sadie?

Mom used to say that the easiest place

to meet a guy was a bar.

To me, this sounded crazy.

Then one night, I saw him.

The one I'd been looking for.

It was like he walked

straight out of an Elvia Rivero movie.

I could tell he was no loser.

He had on the clothes of a teamster

and boots from Spain...

or at least El Paso.

He was the one, beyond a doubt.

I just have to get him and my mom together.

- I was hoping it was you.

- Let's go.

F*** them!

- Am I taking you home?

- Can I go with you?

I'll be working. And it's dangerous.

You're not really dressed for it.

I could wait in the Jeep for you. I'll be okay.

Okay. I won't be long.

I don't like this sh*t.

- Dank?

- Careful.

Walk to me, slowly.

You dropped these.

Thank you.

- I always thought there was nothing here.

- Nothing here?

There's so much.

Look at this.

And these.

There's something I've got to tell you.

Do you want to hear it?

- Is it going to upset me?

- No.

Is it going to make me sick?

- Is it going to make me kill someone?

- No.

All right, then.

I mess around with guys a lot.

I guess I'm one of those girls with a rep.

I never wanted to do it, but I do.

I even make all the first moves.

But I've been thinking about it a lot lately

and thinking about...

why I can't say no...

and why I always have to do it.

And I think it's because of my first time.

These guys just did what they wanted.

What are you saying?

They pulled a train on me.

They gang-banged me.

I didn't report it. Are you crazy?

Let the whole town know about it?

I never told anyone. Not even my mom.

I knew their names.

Two of them were brothers...

Sonny and Dan Richardson,

and Ralph Ellison.

A guy they called Tex.

I never saw them again.

Don't.

After that, I never said no again.

Why bother? They just do it anyway.

This was the first time...

I really wanted to do it.

It was the first time...

I felt anything.

I have to go away for a few days.

There's a mineshaft near Carlsbad

that has some rare species of rocks.

I want to check it out.

What? It's not that far.

I'll be back by Wednesday.

Yeah, sure. Whatever.
