Ls that him?

Hey there.

Seriously?

Shae, come on.

What are you doing?

F***!

No, no, no, no. Not here.

Let's take him somewhere

outside the city.

- Shae!

- Shut up!

What are you doing, Shae?

What's all this about?

Shae, what are you doing?

Please.

You've every right

to be angry with me.

But I thought

you understood me.

I thought we had

an understanding.

What the f*** are you doing?

This isn't you, Shae.

This isn't you.

I know you. Look at me.

Shae, look at me!

Please.

Please, I beg you.

I'm a decent guy.

I beg you not to do this.

Please.

I'm so... Shae.

I'm a...

I'm a decent guy, please.

Please, I beg you. I beg you.

We can't let him go.

I can't do this.

- Shae.

- He didn't do anything.

Everybody did something.

Get in the car.

There. Right there.

It doesn't make me

feel any better.

What?

What we did to those guys.

Those pigs? Are you kidding?

They deserved it.

Maybe, but...

it doesn't make me

feel any better.

It kinda seems

like you enjoyed it.

Men are all the same.

The only thing that stops them

from acting like pigs

is the fact that they're cowards

and they're afraid of getting caught.

Did something happen to you?

Like, when you were a kid

or something?

You mean, was I molested

by my stepfather?

I don't know.

I don't have a stepfather.

Right. Just asking.

When I was about five years old,

my dad started letting his friends

have sex with me for money.

They'd get me drunk and tell me

it was what my father wanted

and if I loved him,

I would do it.

And I loved my father,

so I did it.

But he never paid

any attention to me.

He barely even spoke to me.

Jesus.

When I was seven,

I got chlamydia.

That's when my mom realized

what was happening.

I think she

knew all along, but...

it was easier for her

to pretend that she didn't.

What...

My childhood was fine.

It was great, actually.

Lighten up.

Why do you hate people so much?

Why do you want to hurt people?

'Cause I can.

Come on, Shae.

It's what people do.

They hurt each other

to make themselves feel better,

stronger, more powerful.

Whatever.

That's the way the world works.

Besides, it gives me a rush.

Tell me you didn't feel it.

You're so stupid.

No, she's okay. Stop.

So what happened to you

this weekend?

I called you like, five times.

Ls everything okay?

Shae?

What's going on with you?

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

How was your weekend?

Early feminist works criticize

the western

intellectual tradition

for its objectionable

depiction of women,

its misogynist theoretical

underpinnings,

and its generally inadequate

representation of female voices.

In the late 1970s, however,

a hermeneutics of suspicion

arose from feminists

who began to feel that gender bias

could be revealed

by one's perspective

on the nature of reality,

in one's style of thinking,

in one's approach to problems,

quite apart from any

explicit gender content

or attitudes towards the sexes.

Do you think it's an accident

that the word "hysteria,"

from the Greek "hysterikos,"

meaning uterus,

was originally conceived

as a purely female complaint?

Hey.

Hi.

What you doing?

Nothing. L... I was...

I was... I was just going home,

I guess.

What are you doing?

I don't know.

Kicking your tire.

- Sorry.

- No.

Please, kick it.

Kick it all you want.

So...

Do you want to...

Do you wanna do something?

Sure.

Do you want to go for a ride

or something?

Don't I need a helmet?

I've got a spare.

So where are we going?

- What's that?

- It's some clam.

Enjoy.

Can we play?

Hi, guys. Get some balls.

You guys got your balls?

And 10 and 13

and number 15.

- We got us a winner.

- That's me.

15 is the winner.

- I'm so excited!

- 15.

Yes, I was.

- Well...

- Well...

- I had fun today.

- Yeah, me, too.

Thanks so much

for coming with me.

Yeah.

So...

I'll see you at school,

I guess?

Maybe you wanna come to this thing

we're having for Halloween

on Thursday down at The Cave?

My friend Aaron's band's

gonna be playing

and I'm gonna DJ.

Yeah, maybe. Sure.

Well, cool.

I mean, only if you want to.

No, I definitely...

I definitely want to. I'm sorry.

When is it again?

It's... it's Halloween,

which is Thursday.

Right. You said that.

Well...

Good night.

Where were you?

Jesus Christ, you scared me.

What are you doing in the dark?

- So where were you?

- I went out with some friends.

- What friends?

- Just some people.

Girl people or boy people?

School people.

What are the names

of these people?

Are you kidding?

I'm just wondering

since I made dinner

and I've been

sitting here waiting

for four and a half hours.

I was just wondering

where you were.

Did I know

you were making dinner?

Did we have a plan?

I wanted it to be a surprise.

So how was I supposed to know?

If you knew,

it wouldn't be a surprise.

Well...

I just thought you'd come home

and it would be a surprise.

So you've just been

sitting in the dark?

Yeah. For hours.

You're crazy.

So who were you with, then?

I'm just curious.

Can't I be curious?

Are you hungry?

Do you want me to heat you up

something to eat?

No, I'm good.

It'll only take a minute.

I'm not hungry.

What are you doing

for Halloween?

I've got some school stuff,

but maybe we can hang out

this weekend.

Sorry.

I'm trying to work here.

Excuse me.

All right, I'm sorry.

I'll be very well-behaved.

Dudes, fireworks on the roof!

Come on, fireworks on the roof!

That was Lycaon Pictus,

you'll be interested to know...

play a track from

their new upcoming album.

The track is called "Yes, I am. "

Fireworks.

On the roof.

Hey.

Fireworks?

- Not so much.

- No?

- Bathroom?

- It's just down the hall.

Okay. Be right back.

All right.

Hey, Shae?

I'm really happy you're here.

I mean, I'm just... I'm really glad

you came, you know.

Me, too.

Psst.

I'm sorry, baby.

You understand, don't you?

You're not mad at me, are you?

I did it for us.

Come on, baby.

Don't be mad.

I did it to protect you.

You believe me, right?

How about I make us

something to eat?

Everything will be okay.

You'll see.

Wow.

You cut me really good.

Sorry.

L- I didn't mean to...

You okay?

Yeah.

It's stupid.

Do you have a cigarette?

Is it a guy?

Yeah.
