"She got knocked out during a gunfight?"

- Would you just dump her on the couch?

Rolfed!

- [Rowdy] Hey, Kurt, what are you doin'?

- Just pay attention, okay?

- Wh-wh-wh--

- Daagh!

- You don--

- Hey!

Alright, alright, you--

- Oh, man!

- Rowdy, she has been fakin'

it since before Vegas!

When are you gonna learn, huh?

Chicks play all the angles.

All the angles!

Ain't that right?

- Well, he hit me!

- Good, you're gettin' on my nerves.

- And do you hit him every

time he gets on your nerves?

- Yeah, usually.

- Good.

Are we really in California?

- Yeah! Yeah!

Right down there is Venice Beach!

I know they don't got the boardwalk,

but they got girls with

loose string bikinis

and corndogs!

And they have--

Frozen bananas?

- What are you?

The welcome wagon?

- I like watchin' a man eat good.

(Fraser chuckles)

(Cindy giggles)

I wish I was goin' to LA.

Lived this close all my life

but never seem to make it

out of Tecumseh County.

You're lucky.

- Actually we're,

we're not goin' to LA for pleasure.

- Mm.

Pleasure's where you

find it, I always say.

(owl hoots loudly)

(crickets chirp)

Relax.

Hannah said I was to see to you.

- I thought she just

meant dinner. (chuckles)

(Cindy giggles)

(Fraser clears his throat)

- So why are you headin' to LA?

- Ah, find a girl.

- Any girl?

- My girlfriend.

Her names' Ginny.

I think she'll be my

girlfriend after we find her.

You must like her an awful lot, Fraser,

to come all the way from Nebraska.

- Yeah.

- It's kinda like in a fairytale, huh?

- Maybe, I don't know.

- Well, did her folks move there?

Is that why you're doin'

it, to bring her back?

That's real romantic.

- No, she was kidnapped.

- You're foolin'.

- No.

- Fraser, you're gonna

be a hero or somethin'.

- Well, me and Mac.

- Fraser.

I wanna make love to you.

- Look, Cindy, I can't.

- You wanna make love, too, don't ya?

But you're just scared 'cause

you've never done it before?

- Me, scared? No, no!

I'm just pretty tired,

you know, from the trip.

That's all.

- I wanna make love to you.

And you wanna make love to me.

You do, don't you, Fraser?

You know what I am, right?

- Yeah.

- Maybe it's better this way.

Like in the old days?

When your daddy would bring

to you a place like this

for your birthday or somethin'?

Don't worry.

Safe sex.

Hannah insists on stuff like that.

And I'm real good.

Honest.

It's best you learn from someone like me.

Ginny will thank you for it.

I really want to, Fraser.

Be like the first time for both of us.

It ain't often in this dance

a girl like me gets to lead.

(romantic music)

Happy birthday, Fraser.

(birds chirping)

- G'mornin', Fraze!

- Isn't it a great morning?

Just a great morning!

Mm-hm!

(upbeat rock music)

(waves crash loudly)

I don't know why I'm crying like this.

(touching music)

- It happens.

- I'm supposed to start college this fall.

Got accepted to Columbia and everything.

Only I can't afford it.

Everything happened so fast, I

forgot that tomorrow's

the scholarship exams.

- It was important, huh?

- Obviously not as much as

getting Ginny to like me.

(touching music)

Thanks for having Cherie kiss me.

And for Cindy.

- Those ladies do perfectly well know

they don't need any help from me.

- (sighs) I really hated

lyin' to my mom yesterday.

- Yeah, well.

Bein' an adult isn't all

just kissin' girls, I guess.

- You know what I think?

- What?

- I think that being an adult is

having to choose between things

and none of them perfect.

- There you have it, kid.

(touching music)

- Mac.

We're not gonna stay with any more

of your friends tonight, are we?

- Nah, I just figure

we'd crash on the beach.

- (chuckles) Good.

'Cause I gotta get some sleep.

- Get some sleep.

- Well, I'm hungry.

Thai food all around?

- Can I come, I promise I won't try--

- Ah!

This is not date night.

- Please?

You don't know Daddy.

He's probably gone ballistic by now.

I will never get out of the house again!

I can't go back without

seeing Los Angeles.

I won't try and get away

or anything, I promise!

- Are you nuts?

- It's not you, you make

out like we're doing you

some kind of a favor!

- Well, can Rowdy and me take

a walk down to the beach?

- No!

- [Ginny] Why not?!

- I want the two of you

to be sittin' right here

when I get back!

(cartoon plays faintly on TV)

- Do you want some

Evian or something?

- Actually, would it be

alright if I took a shower?

I feel pretty raunchy.

- No, no, no, no.

- I promise I won't try anything.

- No, don't take a shower,

you can't take no shower.

- I'll leave the door

open so you can hear me.

- Well.

No.

- Please?

- (sighs) Alright, you throw

your clothes out, alright?

That way I know you won't try nothin'.

(cartoons play faintly on TV)

(water splashes softly)

(dog barks faintly)

(playful music)

(carnival music)

- Where is chick from, Nebraska?

Ugh.

(water splashes softly)

- Hello!

Hello!

I'm dead!

(carnival music)

(people shouting excitedly)

(upbeat rock music)

(loud clapping)

(soft humming)

- Hi again!

Remember me, Dawn Johnson, D-A-W-N?

- Sure!

Hi!

- How's your friend's sister?

- Oh, she's fine, fine, fine. (chuckles)

That rolf, it really takes it out of you.

- No, I don't, I've never been rolfed!

I don't think it's allowed in Ohio!

- Yeah, well,

Ohio. (laughs)

I gotta go.

- You don't mind me bothering you, do you?

It's just that it's really hard

when you move to a strange

city not knowing anyone.

- Yeah, I mean, sure.

I guess.

- Great, okay!

Bye!

See ya!

- Bye.

- Oh man, oh man, oh man!

Oh, oh, Kurt!

Come on, we gotta get outta here!

The cops will be here any

second, I just feel it!

(pants heavily)

C'mon!

- You let her get away,

didn't you?

- Well, no,

now she was in the shower, honest!

I mean, I could just

stand there watchin' her!

Here, I even made her

take her clothes off!

- You let her get away, didn't you?

Yes!

- Didn't you?!

- Yes, I did!

But Kurt!

Why were you gone so long?

- I just got a hold of Daddy!

He's gonna slip the Feds

and fly in here tomorrow!

With the cash!

Now what?

- Your folks letting you stay?

All by yourself?

- As long as I like.

I'm almost 18, you know.

- So, what are you gonna do?

- Hang out for a while.

Maybe get a job.

It's my life, you know?

- Man, Nebraska's more

epic than I thought.

You have a boyfriend back there?

- No.

I used to.

They're not as epic as here! (giggles)

I really like your music.

- Did I tell you that we

have a record deal lined up

for the fall?

- Yeah?

So what kind of car do you drive?

- Yeah, I was just wondering

if there had been a report

of a missing girl turnin' herself in.

Her name is Jennifer Grafton.

I'm her father.

From Nebraska.

Thank you, thank you.

No, no, thank you.

Thank you, yeah, bye.

- Well?

- Told you, that stupid

chick don't wanna get saved.

- What if this doesn't work?

I mean, what if the cops are lyin'?

- Believe me, they don't think that fast.
