Why don't you just

get out of this place?

What's keeping you here?

You've got your car.

I mean, my mom...

still feels attached

to the house, and Franky.

Is that what's keeping you here?

Your mom and Franky?

I don't know. What else...

What about you?

Would you come? Would you leave?

Hey, lady, come on, come on!

Just put her in there.

That'll be $1, please.

Don't touch my seat.

- Nobody sits in that seat.

Okay.

Go hide. Hide.

Hey.

What's your name?

Rat.

Rat?

Yeah.

Why?

- Why is my name Rat?

- Yeah.

- 'Cause I've got a pet rat.

- Oh, yeah?

What's his name?

- Nick the rat?

Hello! Hallelujah!

Look at me, man!

You look so ugly, dawg. God!

1, 2, 3, 4.

Are you waiting for somebody?

- I'm alone.

- Oh, yeah?

Want a ride home?

No, I'm all right.

I'm pretty close to here, so...

Okay.

I gotta take a piss anyway.

I'm going in.

Wait.

Actually, yeah.

I'll... I'll... I'll take that ride.

- It's dark.

- Yeah.

- You got to be safe, right?

- Yeah.

- This is my friend Face.

- Hi.

You wanna know why he's called Face?

You wanna know why?

Why?

Face?

Get in the car. Come on.

It's the best seat in the house.

You can see the world from up here.

Rat, Face, and Bully.

Can I touch your hair?

Can I just reach... can I reach...

can I reach out for a second?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Come to me.

Come to me. Give me that. Give me that.

Oh. Come here.

I wanna smell it.

Billy, we're never gonna be friends

if you sit so far from me

- and I can't hear you... one good ear.

- Sorry.

- There it is.

- Get your free drink,

and when you do, you put

your hand inside of your pocket,

and you leave lots of money

for that waitress,

because she's here

just for you and you and you.

- You brought your kid.

- We'll be right back.

Did you bring your kid here?

I got stuck, and I'm sorry.

It's not very sexy, is it?

- It won't happen again.

- Don't do it again.

Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands

together for our host this evening...

Dave! Dave, ladies and gentleman.

Come on. Feel the light. Feel it, Dave.

Come to me. Don't think, just stand.

Stand and deliver, Dave! Come!

- I'm gonna be your ride tonight.

- Come, now.

Tonight, no man should feel so much pleasure

than this man should feel right now.

Hello. Hello.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome the sultan of surprises,

your host tonight,

the one, the only, Dave.

Stop it.

There are some basic human needs.

We try to cater to some of them.

We can't get all of them.

This is about one of them.

All day I've faced a barren waste

Without the taste of water

Cool water

Old Dan and I with throats burned dry

And souls that cry for water

Cool, clear

Water

Keep on moving, Dan

Don't you listen to him, Dan

He's a devil, not a man

He spreads the burning sand with water

Dan, can you see that big green tree

Where the water's running free

And it's waiting there for me and you?

Cool, clear

Water

Keep on moving, Dan

Don't you listen to him, Dan

He's a devil, not a man

He spreads the burning sand with water

Dan, can you see that big green tree

Where the water's running free

And it's waiting there for me and you?

Clear

Clear water

Water

Cool

Clear

Water

I need a drink after that one.

By the way, he's also available

for children's parties.

Thank you.

I'll walk you to the door.

Is that your rat?

I thought I saw it in the car.

Oh, yeah.

Could I see it?

Can I touch it?

Soft.

Anybody ever touch your rat? No?

That's the first time?

Nick!

No!

Nick!

Nick, I'm sorry.

I love you. I love you.

Say hi to Bones.

Hey! Hey! Hey.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

So, that's it?

That's what all the fuss is about?

That's it.

Well... want me to help tuck him in?

No, I'm... I'm good.

He's already halfway there.

Well...

Aren't you gonna ask me in?

I've got my boy.

Listen...

I really want to keep my house,

but I don't want to give you the wrong idea.

Speaking of which,

I hate to ask you, but...

Can you tell me when I can expect

my first paycheck?

Oh, you'll get it

a week after you started.

If you wanna make real money

in the meantime, you go down to the shells.

You get to keep...

everything you make down there.

You've seen the shells, right?

Yeah. I'm a little bit

claustrophobic, though,

so I might have a problem. I'm not sure.

Yeah, well, I have a problem,

too, you know?

I like to f***. That's my problem.

And when I meet a bad b*tch,

it drives me crazy.

Now, really, really...

Think about it.

That's my other boy. I got to go...

Don't you want that kid

to have a father? Right.

You should want that kid

to have a father.

Right. He need a father,

that little kid.

Nice father like me.

Right. You can't beat that.

He'd... he'd grow up

and be sharp and everything,

and all the young ladies

would love to get to know him,

right, if he dressed like me. Right.

I'd have him dressing like me,

lookin' like a million bucks,

you know, looking like his picture should be

on the million-dollar bill. That's right.

'Cause that's the way I look every day.

Right, I look like my picture

should be on the million-dollar bill.

I got on these pretty shoes,
