What's up?

This sh*t is funny.

Hey, man, you want a beer?

I don't drink.

No?

What, that bother you?

Can't stand a guy

who doesn't drink?

Not cool, huh?

No, I don't care.

Of course you don't.

Nobody does.

You're an outcast if you don't

do that stuff, you know.

High school,

I was like this... this outcast.

People like you

making me an outcast.

I can't move my neck.

I hated high school.

You're a horrible bike rider.

Do you have more of these?

That's my last one,

but...

my brother knows a dealer.

Are you gonna go

to fifth period?

I can't do math today.

Want to go to the mall?

Five-finger discount.

And you try to tell

how you feel about it.

You find that, out of all

the words in the world,

there are only...

Who would watch this?

Hey! That's fine!

That's a very pretty speech.

Want me to get that?

I got it.

- Hello?

- Now I want to make a speech.

Gentlemen of the Academy

and...

What a loser.

Can't believe

she got caught shoplifting.

Save-mart?

Pathetic.

So you're a bum, huh?

Sort of.

Well, Amy doesn't need

any more bums.

Have there been a lot?

- What?

- Bums.

- Can you get that?

- Can't you get it yourself?

I get dizzy when I bend over.

Just get it, all right?

Here, man.

Cool.

Hey, dude...

look, they're coming.

You just... You can't shoplift,

all right, Lucy?

You got to grow up.

I know.

I just always mess up.

- Why do I always mess up?

- You don't always mess up.

- Yes, she does.

- See?

It's not your fault, all right?

It's me.

It's mine.

I'm just not doing

a very good job.

You do a great job, Amy.

You do a great job.

Ready to go?

Yep.

Hey.

Hey.

I really like your brother.

He's a cool kid, you know?

Yeah. Good.

I'm glad.

Is everything okay?

Oh, yeah.

Can I ask you a question?

It depends.

You have an orgasm?

What?

You know, like,

did you come?

- Didn't I act like I did?

- Yeah.

I mean, I just was thinking

about how you are...

in this house, you know?

It's crazy here,

and you don't yell or freak out,

so I was just wondering

if you feel me, you know?

Do you really think

you would be here

if I didn't feel anything?

Are you using me?

No.

'Cause I'm not a gigolo.

I could be yours.

So talk to me.

- You know, tell me something.

- What about?

Well, you ask questions

about a person,

you learn stuff, you know?

Just like...

Okay, you start.

Ask a question.

Okay.

Your brother, did he really

drive your parents crazy?

No.

- Where are you from?

- What? No.

You got to answer it

better than that, come on.

Did he really drive

your parents crazy?

No, they just left.

Where'd they go?

They said

they were going to Florida.

Vacation.

And then

they didn't come back.

They were kind of

messed up anyway, but...

I just got a postcard...

that said...

"Sorry, can't do it anymore.

So little time.

Love, mom and dad."

I'm from Cleveland.

What are you doin' here?

My whole sense of things

kind of got out of whack

after my brother died.

I was in my car.

I was driving the car,

and we were both drunk.

That doesn't go away,

you know?

Thinking about him,

wondering if he knew

what was happening.

Did it hurt?

Or was he mad at me?

He went

through the windshield.

Um, Sam, um...

What?

I'm sorry.

I'm just not good

at this kind of talk.

It just...

kind of makes me nauseous.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

I could never take

I was never one to be took

Someone says we'll make it

But I never thought

that I could

Listen up, I mean it

What are we gonna do

with this thing?

I don't know.

It's been there

for about a decade.

- Does it work?

- No.

I'll take it to the dump

if you want.

Okay.

Think I wouldn't notice

Something else

is fighting my fear

If I had one more try

I could fly with her

And hide away the years

If I had one more life

I could die with her

And whisper in her ear

There's coffee if you want.

Oh, great.

You look cleaned up.

Yeah, I may get a job.

About time.

Yeah, I'm gonna get

some money together,

you know, go back on the road

so I can get out of your hair.

You're not in my hair.

What are you doing?

Um, this is my job.

You should come.

A little road trip

might do you some good.

Oh, no,

I can't go anywhere.

- Where have you been all day?

- I don't know.

You want

to come over tonight?

I can't.

I'm punished.

So?

Sneak out.

Look, I'll call you later.

Wait, do you want a ride

to Creature's party Friday?

I got the gas station guy

to drive us.

Look.

There's my mom.

I'm not really allowed

to hang out with you anymore.

So keep your distance, or my mom

will take away my computer.

Hey, Nat.

How are ya this morning?

Why are you so...

- So?

- Nice.

I just, um...

I care.

Bullshit. Nobody cares.

I used to think that.

People care.

Hey, you want to sit down,

eat with us?

- Eat here?

- Why not?

Have you tried

the cornbread?

I like cornbread.

Sure, we could use a man.

Nine bucks an hour,

6:
00 A.M.

Nine bucks an hour?

Nine bucks an hour.

What do you make of death?

Kind of crazy, right?

You know how we're just here,

and then we're not here?

You don't really think

about it,

that death is forever.

What the f***

is this guy talking about?

I'm just saying how we're all

gonna die one day, you know?

You're gonna die.

You're gonna be gone

from this world, man.

And what's your life

gonna be about?

Sitting in this bar,

getting f***ing shitfaced?

What are you talking about?

It doesn't matter, man,

'cause...

I think I found out

what it's all about, you know?

There's this girl, right,

and she's, like...

She's, like, kind of awesome.

She's got, like... I don't know,

like, a heart, you know?

I met her right here

in this very bar.

I was passing through.

Then I stayed.

It's like fate.

What's her name?

She live in town?

Oh, yeah,

she lives right over here.

Her name's Amy.

- Amy what?

- Uh...

Weird. I don't even know

her last name.

Where's she live?

She lives at 80 Flat Lane.

Amy Bear?

If it's her, Amy Bear,

then...

Yeah, she's got a heart.

What?

Nothing.

We know her.

She used to come in here...

a lot.

"A lot."

What happened to her

anyway, huh?

She disappeared into that house,

doesn't come out no more.

Mm.

That's not true.

She must have come out

the other night

when she met Romeo here.

Mm.

Well, seriously, a lot of...

sluts are actually

really nice girls.

Whoa!

Hey!

A**hole!

No. A snake.

Temptation, you idiot?

Look, Gary says that...

Isn't Gary all born-again,

or whatever?

Listen to me, Lucy.

Sam wants Amy,

but he doesn't want us.

- He's trying to take Amy away.

- No.

Hi. Mr. Banks?

Yeah, no, the envelopes

are ready for UPS.

Amy belongs here.

- Amy can't go anywhere.

- No.

Not if we can expose the truth

that Sam is really a snake.

How do we do that?

You have to seduce him.

Are you crazy?

If I...

If I were to take a vacation,

would that, like, be okay?

Do you want Amy to leave us?

What do I do?

Well, you're a girl.
