And then when

you get up here,

there's nothing but charred

rabbits and f***ing coyotes.

Then there was

the f***ing deer tree.

There was

this tree somewhere.

I don't remember

where we were,

but there's this deer just

strung up... it was in the tree'?

I don't know, he must've had

his antlers stuck in a branch

when he was trying to outrun

the flames or something.

But when we found him

there was nothing left.

He was, like, just

charred meat and skeleton...

Okay, we get the picture.

Okay, we get it. It was awful.

No, it's awesome.

That's reality.

Living's hard.

Especially around here.

Living's hard

everywhere.

Oh, wise one, do you have any other

pearls of wisdom for us today'?

Screw you. No thanks.

I like girls.

Okay. Okay.

I'm serious.

Okay.

Be nice to Lily's friend.

Okay. Let's be friends.

Shut the f*** up

and do what you're told.

Wait. Where are you going?

To piss.

You want to hold my dick'?

I like him.

I know you do.

Are you drunk'?

I don't know.

I'm, like, totally

f***ed up right now.

Be careful.

Of what'?

I f***ing

love it here.

My bad.

Excuse me.

Hey, watch where the

f*** you're going. Lily.

Wow, there's no

reason to be a b*tch.

F*** you.

Lily.

Okay, tough guy,

have a nice life.

What's up'?

Hi. What happened?

Nothing.

Nothing happened.

This guy called me a b*tch.

Did you call

my friend a b*tch?

Listen, I don't got

a problem with you.

Well, maybe I got

a problem with you.

If I offended anyone, it was my mistake.

And I'm sorry.

Okay, but you don't

need to apologize to us.

You need to apologize

to the girls.

I'm sorry.

Oh sh*t!

Gimme this bag,

mother f***er.

Run!

You okay?

Run!

Yo.

Come on. Come on.

Hurry UP-

Jesus.

What is this place?

This is where we live.

This is cool.

Yeah, it's sick. David even

tapped into the power.

You guys don't get in

trouble for staying here?

No, every once in a while

you gotta come through

and kick some f***ing

homeless people out, but...

Yeah, they poop in the hallways.

That's gross.

Okay, so we got a laptop, a

calculator, and a bunch of books.

Probably get, like, a grand on

Craigslist for the computer?

Yeah, but that guy

probably needs it

for school

or something, right'?

Golly gee willakers,

she's right.

We should probably turn it

into the lost and found.

Actually, the next time

we wanna hear from

the my bitty titty committee,

we'll be sure to ask.

my bitty

fifty committee.

Are you gonna

make outwith Louis?

What'? No.

I think you should

hook up with him.

Why'?

I don't wanna

be the only one.

Then why

don't you either?

Can you just

try to have fun'?

For once?

For me'?

I think you're pretty.

Really?

Kinda.

I have to go

to the bathroom.

I have to go

to the bathroom.

Hey, I hope you

didn't drop a deuce.

The plumbing

don't work.

Where are we going?

I wanna

show you something.

Hey, where did you go'?

Jesse?

Home sweet home.

This is your house?

It used to be.

Where's your family?

Moved to Arizona

about six months ago.

Are you rich?

If we were rich, we

would still live here.

So then out of the

blue my dad says

we're moving

to Scottsdale.

And we're staying

with my grandparents.

And they told me that I

wasn't allowed to take King.

Who's King'?

King was...

this big dumb...

fat, and he's

completely retarded,

he was this big,

fat, ginger cat

that I had, you know, since I

was, like, five years old.

He was cool.

But he got kinda sick, so he needed,

like, a lot of medication and stuff.

So one day my dad drove

him to the animal shelter

while my mom and my sister

packed up the house.

And then it was

just like that.

We were,

we were up and gone.

I bet he ended up going home

with a really great family.

Or he's dead,

put to sleep.

You know, I stayed, like, in

Scottsdale for about a month.

Close to a month,

and I couldn't take it.

So I snuck out one night

and hopped on a bus

and I came back here.

Aren't they, like, freaking

out looking for you'?

Yeah, probably.

F*** it, you know?

Now they got

one less mouth to feed.

I'm-can you do me a

favor and please don't

tell the other guys about

this place, okay'? Why'?

You should all live here

instead of that nasty motel.

No, they'd just

come and trash it.

I mean this is

still my home.

Okay.

Here. Get it.

Hello?

Is that them'?

Hello?

What'd they say'?

Nobody there.

They hung UP-

Hello?

I'm sorry, Hogan.

Look, I swear I'm gonna

bring your truck back

without a scratch

on it, I promise.

Oh hell, I don't care

about that truck.

I care a little

about that truck.

I care a whole lot more about you

getting home without a scratch.

How's Lily'?

She's okay.

We're both okay.

I don't know. I don't

know anything anymore.

Well, they say

if you're not confused

that means

you're not thinking enough.

I'm sorry, Hogan.

Now, now, hey, hey, hey.

So what kind of trail of murder

and mayhem have you two left'?

Not too bad.

Really?

No harm, no foul, right?

You just come home.

You got people here

worried about you.

Okay.

It's time to come home.

BYE, Hogan.

Hey, come on.

You sure you

wanna do this'?

'Cause we don't have to.

I know. I want to.

What is that'?

Ifs nothing.

Are they scars'?

Uh-huh.

What happened?

I don't know.

I got bored.

Did it hurt'?

No.

I'm sorry.

Maybe we should just

wait anyway, you know?

Whatever.

...foreclosures now.

Oh, sh*t!

They're ripping up

the carpet and faucets.

I don't know.

That's disgusting.

Seriously, that's gross. Really.

I'm not sure how I feel about...

and we'll probably have to blast out these

walls to make room for the nursery.

The kids could always live in the backyard.

What do you think you're doing?

Maybe make a shed

for them or something.

Excuse me.

Yo, you gotta

check this out.

Thick uncut cock

ready to unload.

What are you talking about'?

Young sexy couple

looking for a kinky girl.

I really don't wanna look at porn

with you guys. It's no! porn.

It's this website where people put these

personal ads and they meet up and f***.

Any ladies in need of some big black

dick this morning? Yes, please.

Who the f*** is Tina'?

Everybody's looking for her.

It's crystal meth, idiot.

All this sh*t is drugs, like

party favors, snow, powder.

We're gonna write one.

Why'?

We're gonna lure some pervert

back here and rob him.

How exactly do you

plan on doing that'?

No. Come an.

We'll be right

in the bathroom hiding.

She says the code word,

f***ing... We jump out.

Yeah, and then what happens

when she gets hurt'?

How'? We're right there.

Okay, then, what happens

when they call the police?

Oh, you think he's gonna

call the f***ing police?

"Yes, Officer, I was about to

have sex with this underage girl

and then some hooligans

jumped out and robbed me."

F*** that.

Yeah, f*** that.

Shut the f*** up, Louis.

Shut the f*** up, Louis.

Come an.

I don't know, man.

See, everybody

always wants to be down

and when sh*t gets real... No,
