Bill! What?

Don't be an a**hole!

Yeah, that's more like it.

You want me to take charge?

Yeah.

Yeah?

How do you like that, huh?

Oh, yeah, bring it!

I'm gonna make you bleed,

Billy Boy.

Oh! Ah! Ah! Hit me! Ah! Ah!

You like that?

More! Oh! Ah! You do?

Come on! Harder!

You like that?

Yeah, wait, wait.

Okay, you creep. Get up.

Ooh. I think I'm a little drunk.

Sit down. Okay.

Sit down!

What are you d... come on.

Oh! Yeah, all right. Tie me up!

Don't go anywhere.

( CHUCKLES )

Hey, there's no sex toys

in there. Come here.

Yes, yes. Yeah, get in there.

Hey. What are you...

What are you doing?

Oh, you've done this before.

You're right.

I have done this before.

( LAUGHS )

That's not funny.

But it is... it is

a little funny, though.

Isn't it, Bill?

The big, bad wolf slain by the

little damsel in distress.

( GROANS )

A whole, new kind of fairy tale.

I feel like I'm gonna puke.

They're gonna find you.

I'm gonna tell the cops.

I'm gonna tell them.

I'm gonna tell them

that Sheryl did this.

You know, baby, that would work,

if Sheryl was my name.

( GROANS )

It doesn't have to be like this.

You can give up now, and you

won't... be in trouble.

See ya, Bill.

Sheryl, don't do this. Sheryl?

Oh, man!

Sheryl? That you?

( BILL SCREAMS )

Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed by thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day

our daily bread.

Forgive us our trespasses...

as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation.

But deliver us from evil.

Amen.

( PHONE RINGING )

MOTHER (ON PHONE): Hello?

Hi, Mom.

Natalie! How are you, baby?

Yeah, I'm good, um, we're just stopping off at

the Badlands for lunch at this little diner.

It's going all right.

How are you?

I'm okay, baby, just surviving.

Well, what did

the doctors tell you?

The doctor said there's a good chance the

surgery will help, but it's very expensive.

They need me to pay for it now

because of my bankruptcy.

It's okay, I'm strong...

and we've always been a strong

family, just the two of us.

Well, you just stay strong,

okay?

I will, honey.

You do exactly what they say.

I am.

Hey, um, I have some money.

I'll bring it.

Enough to cover the operation.

No, Natalie, you don't have to.

I know that you don't want it,

but you need it.

Oh, bless your heart, baby.

Thank you.

Of course, anything for you.

Hey, well, I gotta go, so...

I'll be there, I promise.

Okay, sweetie. I love you.

I love you, too.

REPORTER (ON TV): Breaking news

today, we have new developments...

in this ongoing story.

The ex-minister and convicted felon

now known as "The Reaper"...

has been sighted

in Kings County...

the same city where he was convicted

for murder so many years ago.

The Reaper, after surviving the electric

chair and escaping the state penitentiary...

is believed to be hiding

in or around Kings County.

The nightmare continues.

Police are investigating a missing

persons case in the area.

Tammy Simmons, a known

prostitute, has gone missing...

and the police believe the

Reaper might be involved.

Again, authorities are urging the people

of Kings County to stay indoors...

and be cautious until the police are able

to apprehend the suspect. In other news...

I'm all right.

Hi. What'll it be, sweetie?

Um, give me a piece

of that chocolate cake.

I'll get that warmed up for you.

Thank you.

There you go.

Thank you, darling.

Can I get you anything else,

Rob?

No, darling. Just go and look after the

other customers like you're paid to.

Red meat'll kill ya.

Something's got you, my son...

I got Daisy May here

to watch my back.

I'm telling you, man,

go vegetarian.

Better for the body

and the soul.

Yeah. But I ain't got one.

Neither have you.

Better for the body, at least.

Now, here's a down payment.

That's for somebody else's soul.

Whoa, hey!

Now I think you owe me.

For all them other jobs

you keep screwing up.

Now what do you say?

Hey, hey, hey!

One finger for a down payment?

Hey, man, I'm an earner. I make money

for you. Don't you forget that.

Good point. And that's why

you're above ground.

Now, show me the stuff.

Blue pill, blue pill.

That don't taste like I'm

screwing up now, does it, Rob?

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

That is nuclear.

That's right.

Now get me the rest.

This is... this is not

enough to close the deal.

Listen. You make the deal,

or I'll make you squeal.

That how you

sweet talk ol' Daisy May?

Just remember, Daisy May

has got a soft spot for you.

Don't let her down. Fellas.

Rough day, cowboy?

Well, I'll tell you

something, darling.

Bull riding would have

been a lot easier than this.

Come here, I got a little

something to show you.

Between us, okay?

Rob is not gonna like this.

Oh, ho, ho, he doesn't

have to know, darling.

[WAITRESS] I'm not for sale.

Everybody is, sweetheart.

Everybody.

How do you like your coffee?

Hot, sweet, and sometimes

with a shot of Amaretto.

So, when are you going to take

me on that long, overdue ride?

Excuse me, can I pay

for that chocolate cake?

[WAITRESS] Yeah, sure.

Here you go.

You can keep the change.

Thank you.

What were we talking

about again? Darling?

What the... hell?

Oh, perfect!

Freaking perfect.

( CAR ENGINE STARTS )

Whoa! Oh!

Oh, my god, are you okay?

You freaking worthless...

I mean, yeah, you okay?

Yeah, no, I'm fine.

My heart is racing, but...

I don't know what happened.

My foot must have just slipped.

Yeah, that happens sometimes.

Yeah.

Well, that sucks about your car.

Either pure bad luck, or I must

have really pissed somebody off.

Do you want a ride? I mean, I did

almost just kind of kill you.

That you did.

Unfortunately, I don't take

rides from strangers.

Okay.

I'm Sarah.

Brad.

I guess this means we're not

strangers anymore, now does it?

Hop in, Brad.

( CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES )

( ENGINE STARTS )

So, where you headed?

Your guess is as good as mine.

No, really?

Well, I was heading

to a meeting.

It's actually

not too far from here.

Hmm.

So, what were you doing

at Rob's Diner?

I was on a date.

And how did that go?

It didn't. He stood me up.

Well, he is an idiot.

You're sweet.

Just being nice to my driver.

This way I don't have

to give you much of a tip.

And a gentleman, too.

So, um, what is it that you do?

I buy and sell stuff.

What kind of stuff?

The profitable kind.

Hey, would you pull over

at that mini mart over there?

And make a right here.

Well, thank you.

Of course.

You know, um...

my mom used to say that with every

sunset comes a new beginning.

So that's what

you're looking for.

Isn't that what we're

all looking for?

If, ha, if I was to kiss you...

Mm-hm.

It would not be

in a mini mart parking lot.

Sarah, we just met.

I don't know what kind
