Humboldt County
WOMAN:
When I came home from the clinic,everyone was asleep.
( sniffs )
Normally they'd hear my truck.
We live in the middle of nowhere.
I parked it about
a half a mile down the road
and I walked home.
But my boyfriend heard.
Hmm.
He hears everything.
When he came in to
see what was wrong,
I just tried to pretend
to be asleep.
But I couldn't
hold it in.
I started to cry.
Go on.
Sorry.
I was bawling my eyes out.
He held me.
And I wished--
I wished
I hadn't done it.
I wished--
and it was still alive.
Mm-hmm.
I've had four of them now.
I don't know why,
but when I make love
I can't feel anything.
- ( cough )
- Shh!
- Sometimes I think--
- Mmm.
Well--
I can't really see
a reason to keep trying,
to keep going.
Aren't you supposed
to say something?
I mean, I just told you
I'm thinking about
killing myself
and have no
reason to live.
Um, yeah.
Yeah.
I think a
prescription of, uh,
Paxil, uh, might
be the uh,
the right
prescription.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Anything else, Peter?
Hmm?
Um, "...can't
feel anything...
...reason to
keep going..."
Paxil?
Really?
All right. Sandra,
you're up next.
Okay.
He said you
should go in now.
Oh, thanks.
He's a bit of a
curmudgeon, isn't he?
He's-- he's not so bad.
I have something
for you.
- Here.
- Peter?
Later, alligator.
This an acceptance
into one of the best
residency programs
in the country.
I was hoping this meeting
would be a celebration.
But I--
I have to fail you.
What?
I can try harder.
I've been studying nonstop.
I haven't slept
in three days.
I'm doing rounds, I--
- I'm a little--
- If today's exam had been real,
you would have put
a life in danger.
could make a great doctor,
I have my own
moral imperative.
But Dad,
if I fail,
I won't graduate.
I'll lose the residency.
Peter,
we worked so hard for this.
I'm unbelievably
disappointed.
Congratulations.
Mmmm.
Idiot.

My band!
That place was too noisy--
Puts my brain in such a huff.
Hmm.
So, you're an actress
or a singer or something?
( giggles ) Those are just little gigs
- Mmm.
- You seem so sad.
Oh, um, my name's
Peter Hadley.

- ( grunts )
- Oh, sorry.
I should tell you,
I've never really, uh--
I mean, um--

I don't really

Do you take checks?
( laughs )
Oh, wow!

Oh, wow!
- I feel terrible.
- Oh my God!
Oh, Peter Hadley.
I'm sorry.
Man, oh man, can't a girl
just have casual sex anymore
without being labeled
some kind of a--
- No no no.
- But--
No no no.
I mean, yes.
Uh, yes, casual sex.
I just--
- I just, um--
- Yay.
I just didn't think
you were actually interested.
Huh. Peter Hadley.
I'm sorry.
You're just not too good
with people yet, are you?
What do you--
mmm.
What are you doing?
Going for a drive.
Where are you going?
Going home.
Want to come with me?
Are you sure
you want to come?
Huh?
It's a long drive.
Are you sure you want to come?
Yeah.
Okay. Do you need anything?
No.
Okay.

# I bet you feel

Bogart?
PETER:
Where are we?BOGART:
Home.Is this Malibu?
No.
They call this
the last coast.
It won't be last for much
longer, I can tell you.
Wal-Mart is marching in.
Oh God!
Are we chasing someone?
And don't be fooled
by the whole
peace-love-nature-hippie,
you know, spirit-thing.
People that have moved here take the
business of marijuana very serious, you know?
Wait. Marijuana?
Like drug, uh, pushers?
"Drug pushers."
No, growers, farmers, you know.
Not me. I got out.
Here, grab the wheel
for a second.
Uh, I think that's a--
We're fine, we're fine.
You're good.
Thank you.
Should you be
smoking while we're--
Oh yeah, believe me,
I need it.
( coughs )
It's all gravy in the navy.
( laughs )
Are you ready?
For?
( car door opens )
Uh, Bogart?
Hello?
( car door closes )
Bogart?
Bogart?
( gunshot )
Oh God!
MAN:
F*** you!Oh God.
F*** you, motherf***er!
Jack, put down
the f***ing gun!
What is going on here?
Oh, Rosie's roses were so beautiful this year.
They were just beautiful.
They were gorgeous.
And then this little cocksucker
deer--
What is it, Jack?
( twig snaps )
How many times have I told you
not to sneak up on us like that?
Now you march yourself out here
- God damn it, Jack!
- You could have killed our--!
- Sorry, Grandpa.
I was just playing.
- Oh, Annabelle!
- ( laughter )
You are getting so big
I can't carry you.
Where's your daddy?

Are you a kitty cat?
( hisses )
Oh, no thank you.
Thank you.
( exhales )
Putting dogs on leashes
is a goddamn shame.
Think about it--
dogs, wild animals,
( hisses )
But it isn't
just that we put
these beautiful creatures
on leashes
that really
pisses me off.
It's the completely frightening fact
that we have created an environment
where if we don't put
