Refuge
Excuse me.
You know if there's
A good motel?
No, I don't think so.
So what do people do
around here?
Nothing.
You passing through?
Yeah.
You?
Passing through?
No.
Where you going?
Watch your step.
- You got a roommate?
- Shh, shh, shh, shh.
This is fine.
You got a thing?
- What?
- You know...
a condom?
No, I don't think I do.
I think I'll check.
- Oh! Oh.
- I'm okay.
- I got one.
- Oh, great.
- You do this a lot?
- What?
You know, this.
No.
You shouldn't.
It's not healthy.
I don't.
Okay.
Amy?
Sh*t.
- Is that your roommate?
- Shh. Uh, what?
I can't sleep.
Try your side.
Everything hurts.
Can I come in?
Just go into your room,
and I'll be in in a sec, okay?
You got a kid?
No, it's my brother.
- He's been sick.
- Oh.
I got to go.
You don't have to wait.
Well, how long you gonna be?
Quick.
I'll be quick.
I'll wait.
Everything was spilling
out of my head,
and it was like I was some sort
of government experiment.
And nobody cared.
Mom was there,
and she couldn't stop yelling.
"Get it out.
Take it out.
More, more.
Kill him, kill him."
Shh, shh, shh.
Okay. Okay.
It's just a dream, okay?
It's just a dream.
Shh.
Sorry.
He okay?
Yeah, he had a brain tumor
and had to have it removed.
It...
damaged stuff, nerves.
Anyway, it's a long story,
but he doesn't have
a bone back there.
You take care of him?
Just him and you?
And my sister.
Where's your parents?
They die?
My brother died last year
in a car accident.
They say it gets easier,
but it doesn't.
but it's not easy.
What?
I'd just like
if you stayed.
I woke up
Half-dreamin'
Someone somewhere
Speakin'
Lean in
Heartbeat gone
Hold on
Whispered one
With you, oh
Time feels less strong.
Roll on heart
And shoulder
Wide eyes
Never colder
Sold her everything
Swear I heard her ring
Like an old time belle
She'd sing
Hey, Nat.
How are ya today?
I'm okay.
It's $8.25.
Just give me eight bucks.
It's fine.
Don't worry
about the quarter.
You're not alone.
- Morning.
- Mornin'.
Lucy, I didn't hear you
come in last night.
That's because I didn't
come in last night.
I didn't come home
last night.
Oh, yeah, Lucy, you can't be
staying out all night.
Why are you
in such a good mood?
I'm not.
Do you want some coffee?
Mm-hmm.
Lucy, come on.
It's not even 10:00.
It's Saturday.
Where's Nat?
He's at the store.
- By himself?
- We're on a plan.
A plan?
What kind of plan?
Check it out.
It's on the fridge.
"One, get up, have coffee.
"Two, twice a week
walk to store,
"try to talk to someone.
"Three, watch TV.
"Four, walk with Amy
twice around the house.
"Five, more TV.
Eat a vegetable.
Six, write in journal
half hour."
He writes in a journal?
Hi.
Sit, Nat.
Right here, come on.
You're stoned.
So?
Did you talk to anyone?
- I bought food.
- You got to try.
Why are you
in such a good mood?
- I just asked her that.
- What? I'm not.
All I did was ask if you tried
talking to anyone.
What's the point?
I could be a fly.
Hell, I am a fly.
Could be.
You're not a fly, Nat.
Okay, stop it.
She's so selfish.
You don't have to spend
every day alone.
You don't have to know
that no one will ever want you,
that you'll never
have a girlfriend,
that you'll be alone,
always alone.
Some mornings you wake up
and you... can't even piss.
- Amy's a fly.
- No, she isn't.
Okay, guys, enough.
I wish you could
feel the pain.
I feel the pain.
Don't you feel it, Amy?
No, she can't feel it.
She has to take care of us.
- You in the service?
- Yeah.
- What branch?
- Marine corps.
Na... Uh, air corps.
How's it's going?
Hey, how are you?
You look...
Can I have
a light beer, please?
Cheers.
Hey, fellas, somebody's
droppin' depth charges.
Can I get one more?
Lucy, wake up.
Come on.
It's time to go to school.
Wake up!
Have a good day at school.
Yeah, right.
How did you like
"The Sheltering Sky"?
Uh, I mean...
it really got to me,
like, under my skin.
Here.
Thank you.
F***!
Your turn.
Go!
Victory!
Who's that?
Hey.
Hi.
Could I come in
for a minute?
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess so.
Hey, how's it going?
I'm Sam.
Look, this is a crazy idea,
but whatever, right?
Um, I just lost my job,
and I need a cheap place
to rent,
and I was thinking
if you had some extra space,
you know,
I could help out
and pay some rent.
Um...
Well, we sure could
use the money.
This could work.
Yeah.
It's great.
Better than living in my car.
I mean,
what kind of sh*t person
thinks he can live here?
I mean, there's no room here.
It'll be fine
if he's in the living room.
What... What about the TV?
Um, we'll put the TV
in the kitchen.
The kitchen?
You can't put my TV
in the kitchen.
Why not?
Yeah?
Um...
I was just gonna go
to the store,
so I was wondering
if you wanted
to have dinner
with us tonight.
Yeah, that'd be great.
Um, hey, you need a ride
to the store?
Oh, no, that's okay.
I can just... I can walk.
No, don't walk.
Just take my truck.
The keys are on the table,
okay?
Okay.
Thanks.
This is fantastic.
Thanks.
Yeah, she never cooks
like this for us.
This is like
normal family food.
That's not true.
I cook for you.
What happened
to your parents?
I drove them crazy.
I made pudding.
Shh.
Do you really think
if I used the front door?
It's a school night.
Whose crappy suburban?
Some guy who's renting
the living room.
- Cute?
- Old.
Hey.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Are you good?
Are you comfortable?
Yeah.
Yeah, this is great.
'Cause, you know...
my bed is a little bit
more comfortable, like...
Yeah, I was thinking
that maybe we shouldn't,
you know, anymore,
being that
we're roommates now.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Totally.
You know,
what do they say?
Like, "Don't eat
where you sh*t."
I think it's,
"Don't sh*t where you..."
Okay.
Okay, um... good night.
- Good night.
- Sleep well.
Don't eat where you sh*t.
F***ing idiot.
"My house is as cold
as the Atlantic Ocean.
"These people, my parents,
"Thy can't there be
some kind of magic potion
to the land of emotion?"
Oh, my god.
You are, like, amazing.
Thanks.
Now let's hear yours.
Come on.
Not after that.
No way.
Lucy.
"My mother told me
'Let's play hide and seek.
"You hide, I'll count to 10.'
"I hid under the sink.
"I counted to seven.
"I could not remember
what number came next,
It doesn't rhyme
or have any pentameter.
I know.
It sucks.
Hey, come on.
It doesn't suck.
You'll get the hang of it.
Thanks.
I better go.
No. Why?
Don't go.
My mom's gonna wake me up
for school in a few hours.
sometime.
There's no way my mom
would let me sleep here.
There's another one.
A suplex.
AJ on top of Jerry.
Going right back to it.
