I'm Clement.

Eddie, come on.

Hi, Clement.

Eddie, come on.

Oh, she don't like

you that much.

Come on, Luli.

Come on. What?

What, Luli?

The cheapest motherfuckers

in the world, rich people.

You know, the rich get richer

and the poor get the picture.

You get it straight.

Now, that rich f***,

he don't deserve you.

He just wants one thing.

But you know that, right?

Who does deserve me?

You?

Maybe we deserve

each other, Luli.

Did you ever think that

maybe we're some kind

of like star-crossed

souls destined--?

Do you?

Do you ever

think of that?

You and me?

Are you serious?

Yeah, I'm serious.

No, I'm f***ing--

Luli, what if

I was serious?

I need you

to pull over.

I need you to pull

over the car.

So you can run on back

to your rich friend?

Okay.

Okay, I need you

to listen to me.

If you ever think

I'm ever going

to fall in love

with a going-nowhere-fast...

sh*t-faced

cripple like you...

that's never going

to happen, Eddie.

Pull over the car.

Stay, Luli.

Luli, stay with me.

I can't.

I'm sorry.

Please stay.

Things you could find

in a hardware store.

A, Ajax.

B, buzz saw.

C, crate.

D, dust mop.

E, electrical tape.

F, flooring.

G, grout.

H, hardware.

J, jackknife.

K, Krazy Glue.

N, nail.

O, oil.

R, rope (Unclear),

ratchet.

S, soap.

Help!

Help me!

What the f***?

What the f***?

I got you flowers.

You like your

new haircut?

What about the colour?

You like the colour?

Well, I think you

look real pretty.

Now, I know what you

must be thinking.

What happened back there,

that wasn't right.

See, that wasn't right

and I know it.

Now, I promise

as God is my witness

that that will

never happen again.

Besides,

I think that--

I think you're

an angel.

I think you were sent to be mine

and make things better.

I think you were put on this

earth to save me, Luli.

Like that Bonnie

and I'm Clyde.

And to show you that I

mean business, which I do,

I'm going to

untie you right now.

I will never--

I'm not going to do that again.

I'm not going to tie

you up again, all right?

Look at me?

I will never tie

you up again.

Except when I'm gone.

I'm going to take

care of you forever.

You don't ever have to worry

about anything again.

Do you hear me?

I will take

care of you.

Here, I got you something.

I got you--

I made this for you.

I went into the town

and I made this for you.

Do you like it?

It says "hot stuff."

Do you like it?

Sure.

I'm glad because I've

been waiting to give that

to you all day.

I was nervous.

Well, hi there, Beau.

I thought you'd

be in Reno.

Headed there.

May I come in?

Yeah.

How's Carl?

Well, he's getting a little

long in the tooth.

Hello. So it's just

a matter of time.

How long you

plan on staying?

Oh, it could be

some time now, Beau. Why?

Well, we going to get busy.

We may need the room.

You understand.

Seeing as I'm a long-time

customer and all,

I figure I'm entitled

to stay as long as I want.

Suit yourself.

So are those your

pamphlets , mister?

Yes, I believe they are.

You kill your

own chickens?

Affirmative.

Don't you feel

sorry for them?

Negative.

Do you name them

before you kill them?

Nope, I name them

after I kill them.

Yeah, lunch and dinner.

Yeah, yeah.

You take care

of yourself now.

See you, Beau.

Beau f***ing Hopkins,

Beau f***ing Hopkins.

Sh*t, sh*t.

Dammit, f***,

sh*t, Luli!

Eddie, where are we?

Where are we?

We're in the Wild

f***ing West, darling.

Did you try to sell me off?

That, you just talking about

chickens, what--?

I trust you.

Yeah.

Then we all waited

while my baby brother stayed

right there in that incubator

for three whole days

before deciding

that, you know,

maybe this wasn't the place

for him after all.

And there goes my

baby blue brother,

somewhere into

that night sky.

And I wonder if I'll ever

get to see him someday.

And I would have played

whatever silly

little dumb game

he had in mind, really.

Sometimes I wonder what he

would have looked like by now.

I wonder what it

would have been like

to just float up off

this planet with him.

Maybe we can just

find our own planet.

Make it with just kings

and cowboys and castles.

Make it a planet

with just pirates

or train heists

and dragons.

And we'd say,

"Walk the plank, matey."

Or crack that

there safe.

And make it snappy."

And I'd slay any dragon

any day of the week

for my little

kid brother.

Nothing would

have made me happier.

This is how he

made me, right here.

I was your age.

Must have been

a spitting image.

But I thought

I wanted to be here,

because we were

in love.

I'm sorry, Luli.

Stop.

Let me help.

Stop.

Hey, I know, Luli.

I used to think I

couldn't live without him.

I used to think

I couldn't eat...

or sleep or breathe.

You know that

boy you met, Angel?

That's my baby.

He's mine and Eddie's.

And I knew

when I had him

I had to get away,

because I didn't know

what Eddie would do to him.

And so everything I've

done has been for him.

I don't even know if

what I'm doing is right

because I must be

really f***ed, you know?

You gave him $1,000

to get me out of your hair.

He told you that?

I didn't give him

any f***ing money.

Do you hear me?

I would not do

that to you.

He's broken and he's

no good to nobody.

Did you get rid of me?

Got tired of

having me around?

I've been looking

for you since you left.

When I saw that note--

I'm so sorry, Luli.

You're all right,

though, baby.

Come on, let's sing one

of them happy songs.

Enough of this.

Come on.

Come on, Luli.

I called Kimball

and found out

that old gomer

made it.

Wouldn't that just be

(Unclear).

Did you lose

something, Luli?

Eddie, put that

thing down.

You going to take her too?

Quit it.

Is that the idea?

That the plan here, Glen?

You take off yourself and then

you leave me with nothing?

What the f***

do you want from me?

What more could

I do for you?

Well, maybe--

Maybe you ain't leaving.

Come on, Eddie.

How's that, baby?

How does that feel?

It's nice.

Now why don't you just

put that gun down?

The gun is not

the problem here.

Is the gun the problem

for you, Luli?

Look at me.

The gun is not

a problem for me.

It's not about Luli.

Come on.

This gun, touch it.

Feel it.

Stop. Stop that, Eddie.

You put that gun down.

You going to slap

me again?

Come on!

Don't do this.

Don't f***ing

touch me!

The gun, this f***ing gun,

ain't even loaded. You see?

Oh, my God!

F***!

Glen?

Come here.

This is a f***ing

accident.

F***!

Glenda?

Glenda?

Luli-- We gotta--

We gotta go.

We got--

We gotta get this--

This is a f***ing

accident.

We gotta go, Luli.

Actually, I know

a place we can go

where no one will find us.

We'll be like Bonnie and Clyde.

Pow.

I'm sorry.

Now lookit,

I made you some eggs.

Just sit.

There's a secret

to the eggs, you know?

Family secret,

guarded.

Okay.

Okay.

Please,

humour me.

Okay, now, Luli,

listen to me.
