I'm stuck.

Me, too.

I don't want to go out like this.

Me, neither.

Goodbye, Pop.

What?

- Do you want your car back?

- No, I don't want the car back.

I meant for you to keep that.

What?

I just wanted you to know

that I sent him away.

Well, I ain't got time to talk.

Well, I wish you would talk to me.

Y'all ready to order?

- How you doing, Ryrus?

- Hey. How are you?

- I'm all right.

- Who Leticia?

My girlfriend.

Sheriff's Department.

Hello?

- Who's knocking on my door?

- It's the Sheriff's Department.

Time to go, lady.

- No, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

- It's time to go.

- No. Here, here, here.

- No, no. I don't take anything.

You have to settle up with your landlord,

then I go away.

I got the money. Here's the money.

Ma'am, I suggest you get fully dressed.

- Just give me a day.

- I'm going to put you out.

- Nah, you ain't putting me out.

- No, no.

I about got the money.

I'm just still saving it...

I painted the ceiling and the wall

and just fixed it up a little bit.

I figured that I ought to.

I'll move your stuff in,

so you don't have to worry with it.

So...

You know, I'm going to go into the kitchen

and get a thing or two,

so if you just want to...

Really, just, you know, relax,

make yourself comfortable,

whatever you want to do with it.

This Tyrell's.

I thought I'd put it up there.

That's my boy's room.

- So...

- All right. Here.

You can go up if you want to.

Can I look at these?

Yeah. Go ahead.

That's him right there.

He don't look like you.

He got his mother in him.

I don't mind sleeping across the hall there

if you want me to.

I mean,

maybe you should sleep by yourself.

No. I wouldn't feel good

if you left me in here all by myself.

I just want you to be comfortable in here.

I want you to be comfortable, too.

I want to take care of you.

Good.

Because I really need to be taken care of.

Can I touch you?

You sure?

Did you feel that?

Oh, yeah.

It felt good?

Yeah.

I didn't hurt you or anything?

Not in no bad way.

What?

Nothing. I just...

I'm gonna go out and buy some ice cream.

- Now?

- Yeah.

It just feels right.

- Okay.

- Well...

- Can you buy me some?

- Yeah.

What kind you want?

Chocolate.

Hey.

I bought some chocolate ice cream.

Are you okay?

You sure?

You look real pretty.

Let's go down to the steps. You want to?

Let's go.

I went by our station on the way home.

I like the sign.

I think we're gonna be all right.
