and make your big comeback.

Oh, my God. lts brilliant.

lm...

lm fift...

for...

Lets just say

l am no spring chicken.

Seriously, youd be

totally cutting-edge.

l could photograph

your album covers...

and design your costume.

l have a life here, sweetie.

So did we.

The return

of Miss Bambi LeBleau.

What have you got to lose?

Really. l mean,

youre a singer.

F***.

Singers are meant to sing.

Let me think about it.

- Yes!

- OK.

You think about it,

but lm going to New York...

first thing

in the morning, so...

But right now,

l really have to pee.

Through the bedroom,

first door on the right.

May l have this dance?

Enchante.

Sorry about that.

Guess what.

Bambi said yes.

Are you sure its OK?

Yeah. lts awesome.

This is gonna be so cool.

Try as we may, l guess

the dream never dies.

Does it?

No, l guess it doesnt.

- What happened?

- Dont worry about it.

- l loved her.

- Me, too.

Then what is your problem?

Youre going the wrong way.

Where are you going?

Home.

This was stupid.

Your ass belongs

back in school.

Turn around...please.

F***. F***.

The night that Velvet left...

dad just didnt know

how to deal, you know.

So he looked me

straight in the eye...

and he said,

Your mother left us...

because she loved her dreams

more than she loved us.

Bambi never had a hit.

Shes a drunk.

She rolled the dice,

and she came up bust.

Just like Velvet.

Bingo.

So you abandoned her

like Velvet did you?

Maybe l refuse to give up

my life for a pipedream.

Were going home now.

Dad and Lois

must be worried sick.

Theyre grownups. They can

take care of themselves.

lm not doing it

to my dad again. Get in the car.

What happened at talent night?

Excuse me?

ln third grade.

Screw you.

No. Gypsy, please.

Just tell me.

All right.

Spring jubilee, talent night.

Velvet taught me one

of her favorite Stevie songs.

We practiced for weeks.

And dad showed me

the chords on the guitar.

Anyway...a week before

my big debut...

Velvet splits.

But l go through

with it anyway...

because shes gonna show,

right? l mean...

Shes got to show.

So...

all the cutesie little

kiddies...

and their perfect

mommies and daddies are there.

And l get up on the stage...

singing and playing

my little guitar...

And l pissed my dress.

lt ran down my leg

and dripped off the stage.

And some guy with a mop

came out...

and told me to get back

to the audience...

and go find my mom.

Come here, sweetie.

Cool. Pick him up.

- Are you kidding?

- Come on. The Amish rock.

Hello.

lm Zachariah.

lm running away.

OK.

So, Zachariah, have you ever

been in a car before?

Never one this radical.

Do either of you

have a cigarette?

You can smoke?

As of this moment, l can do

anything l damn well please.

So, you running from something?

Conformity.

Boredom.

And cows.

May l pump?

Sure.

Awesome.

What do l do?

OK, no problem.

First, you unscrew

the gas cap, like so.

On some cars, theres a button

on the inside...

you have to press to unlock it,

but this is an older model.

And then you make

your octane selection.

Were on a budget,

so well use this one.

And then you put it

in the hole...

and you simply pump away.

Yeah.

l really like your clothes.

lm dying to get out of mine.

Hes gorgeous.

Come on, man.

So is Norman Bates.

l know l would kill

for that hat.

When you were walking

over here...

l think l saw him

staring at your ass.

- Shut up.

- lm not kidding.

Just my luck--an Amish sodomist.

Go for it.

What are you looking at?

Damn, honey, l dont know.

You ask them.

Are you guys some kind

of dragon queens or something?

- lm sorry?

- Dont even bother.

Look, honey, an Amish.

You people sure make

a kick-ass pie.

Thats some good-eating pie.

What the f***?

F***ing perverts.

Look. Check it out.

Were hungry, mommy.

l am starving.

Anything in particular?

May l make a request?

Eat your Whopper

before it gets cold.

Whopper? Oh, yes. Thank you.

l have a secret confession.

l was a fast-food virgin.

l have a secret

confession, too.

Yeah? What is it?

OK. lve never really

said this to anyone before...

but...lm kind of a virgin, too.

Normally lm really not

After a bottle of this...

Absinthe--the green fairy.

- Hey.

- Hey.

So, where are your robots?

Theyre in the camper.

Wait, wait.

Could you leave it on?

Hey, there.

OK, l think theres...

some kind of twisted fag

sex ring going on here.

and eat us for breakfast.

That is so wrong.

This is a public place.

Damn queers, man.

But now that l know

You make me feel warm.

Dont forget me.

OK, l know it.

Forgive me, Gypsy.
