look, I'm just sayin'...

Yeah, you're just saying

you're a f***ing p*ssy.

What about you'?

What do you say'?

Okay.

Thank you. F***.

Some nuts, finally.

Young, white girl

looking for my big daddy.

That's gross.

Must be white

and very generous.

Hi.

Hi.

Come find Alison

with me.

Sh*t. I keep

losing the connection.

Please? Come on.

Yeah, we're gonna

go look for Alison.

Holy sh*t!

What'?

Look, dude, look

at all of these responses.

Come on, come on.

Get up, get up.

I'll be your daddy.

Sugar daddy here.

What can Daddy for you'?

Oh!

Oh!

Dude just sent

a picture of his dick.

Oh my God,

I'm going to throw up.

What about this guy?

I don't know,

he looks nice.

Yeah, no, he does.

You guys are pathetic.

This guy's a piece of sh*t.

He looks nice? What the hell's the

matter with you people? What'?

We're going to rob

a perv. Come see.

Lily?

This is so stupid.

She could be abducted.

She'll be fine.

This feels like

a surprise party.

Where are we going?

My car is back there.

I just gotta

grab my stuff.

You live back here?

Yeah, just for now.

Are you a runaway?

I guess.

Well, does anyone

know where you are'?

You do.

This is taking too long.

Shut up. Sorry.

Nice little

setup you got.

I like it.

Looks like the

bed's seen some use.

Did you bring money?

Maybe.

How generous would you

like me to be'?

I like your eyes.

Surprise!

Whoa.

Very generous motherf***er.

We were just talking.

I don't give a f***. Give me

your money, you f***ing pervert.

Okay. Okay. Let's all relax. No.

How about I leave and we

pretend this never happened?

Yeah, go and get

the f*** out of here!

Get the f*** back!

Whoa, hey!

Look, relax, man.

We got his money.

Just let him go.

I know you got a phone.

Give me your phone.

No, ifs a Blackberry.

I don't give a f***, motherf***er.

Here.

I'm gonna assume that

somewhere in that phone

there's a number

that says "home"

and at said home

there's a woman

who would be less than pleased

to find out her husband

was trying to f***

a 15-year-old girl.

I'm sorry.

Shut the f*** up!

So when I ask you for the PIN number

I assume you're telling the truth.

Otherwise, I'll have to call

your wife and ask her for it.

Seven, four... Speak!

Seven, four, nine, four.

Is that your final answer?

Yes. Yes.

Michael Kenneth White.

Glendale, California.

Yes.

Get the f***

out of here.

Go. Go.

Holy sh*t!

That was such...

a f***ing rush.

Is that your final answer?

F***!

What the hell?

You never said

anything about a gun.

I didn't realize

I had to clear it with you.

Can I hold it'?

Lily, be careful.

You're such a baby.

Yeah, well, I know a lot

more about guns than you.

I shoot with Hogan

all the time.

What the f***'s a Hogan?

It's Alison's Big Daddy.

Screw you, Lily.

Careful.

it's not a toy.

Let's go get some f***ing sh*t.

F*** yeah.

What if he had

hurt that guy'?

He didn't.

No, I know,

but what if he had'?

Ifs not a big deal.

We have to go back.

What'? No. Not yet.

Okay, when?

I just want to spend

some more time with Jesse.

We'll go back tonight, okay'?

Promise?

Sure. No, you have to promise me, Lily.

Okay. Don't spazz out.

Oh, sh*t. The only

time they put the jump man

on anything other than Jordan was the

P-Rod collaboration. How do you know?

Well, because I'm not

some stupid f***ing spic

who doesn't know jack sh*t

about sneakers like you.

I got you something.

What now'? We are gonna

go buy more sneakers.

If we don't do our part, the

terrorists will have won. Come on, Alison.

Louis, I can physically

hear you developing diabetes.

I'd rather have diabetes than drink

diet soda and get rectal cancer.

Alison's mom

died of cancer.

Lily!

What? it's true.

Yeah, but it's none

of their business.

I don't go around

talking about your dad.

What'? That he killed himself?

Wow.

Everybody knows now. I guess

I should totally freak out.

How'd he do it'?

A gun.

That's so f***ing cool.

Sh*t, if I was gonna kill

myself I'd use a gun, too.

or jump off

a big ass bridge.

Yeah, I hear when you

jump off a bridge

you fall and you die on impact

when you hit the water.

The bridge

gotta be high, though.

Thank you, Louis.

That's very

enlightening.

Of course ifs gotta

be f***ing high,

otherwise you'd just

hit the water and drown.

I hear drowning's a really

beautiful way to die.

It's really peaceful.

Who told you that'?

I don't know.

I read it.

How the f***

would they know?

They obviously didn't drown

if they wrote it in a book.

Well, maybe they, like,

maybe, like, almost drowned.

No. No. No.

Yeah.

Why? Maybe someone

came and saved them.

No, but that ain't drowning.

Like...

what if almost drowning

was all peaceful and sh*t

like those last few minutes of

actually drowning is f***ing horrible.

I mean, how f***ing

pissed would you be'?

You're f***ing, like,

expecting rainbows

and f***ing

angels and sh*t...

and it's just this

total f***ing horror.

Sweet. Okay.

You're meeting' your

next guy in 20 minutes.

What do you mean?

What do you mean what do I mean'?

Did I stutter'?

Well, you already

got a bunch of stuff today.

Yeah, and now we're gonna

get a bunch more stuff.

So you can either shut the

f*** up or get the f*** out.

'cause you've been a stupid

f***ing c*nt since you got here.

Good.

Come on, Lily, let's go.

Let's go. Come on.

We're gonna go.

Good riddance, b*tch.

Hey!

What are you doing?

I'm going home, Lily.

Sorry.

Why do you have

to ruin everything?

I'm not ruining anything. I just

don't even recognize you anymore.

That's because for the first time in

my entire life, I'm really happy.

Good for you.

Let's go.

Let's go home.

I'm not f***ing

leaving Jesse.

He doesn't care

about you, Lily!

You're just some

stupid girl to him.

We're moving in together.

What'?

Into his parents' place.

What'?

They're gonna

let us live there.

Ifs huge.

Ifs got a pool

and everything.

Right.

Mm-hmm.

What about

your mom, Lily'?

Now she'll have

one less mouth to feed.

What are you

talking about'?

You know what, Alison?

You should go back

to the Salton Sea.

You belong there.

Don't say that.

Things are different now.

No, they're not!

Lily, nothing has changed!

Nothing!

Maybe not for you,

but they have for me.

You're supposed

to be my best friend.

Who the f*** else was I

supposed to hang out with, huh'?

You were it.

F*** you.

Are you Lily'?

Yeah.

I wasn't sure I was gonna find the place.

I came out from Whittier.

Passed by a couple times to make

sure there weren't any cops.

You're not a cop, are you'? No.

Yeah. No, you look too young.

You're like a kid, huh'?

No, I'm 18.

Okay.

Want something

to eat or anything?

I'm not really hungry.

Do you just want to go'?

I'm not hungry either.

Go'?

Yeah, let's do it.

Cool.

Where are we going? I'm staying

in a motel just up here.

Oh, good.

Hey, do you have a cigarette?

No.

Oh, sorry. I'm a little wired.
