I take little naps...

...like 10 to 15 minutes.

Just, like, a little shutdown time.

I mean, I still don't ever sleep, but...

- That works for you?

- Helps a little bit. Yeah.

- So where are you going anyway?

- I'm going down. Down to Vegas.

- I got, like, friends and family there.

- That's good.

He's in the back.

Oh, goddamn.

Getting f***ed in a porn shop.

I'm going to see my son.

My son, my son, my son.

I'm going to see my son.

Jacob.

I'm going to see my son, Jacob.

Your what? You have a son?

- Here. You want a little bit right now?

- Yeah, yeah.

Here, here.

Yeah! Wide awake!

Where's the kid?

Is he with your mom?

He's 3 years old.

He doesn't live with my mom,

because my mom's a f***ing c*nt.

- You'll be okay, Nikki. You'll be cool.

- You think so?

Yeah, man.

I'm gonna be okay.

I'm gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

The state took him away.

It's weird because stuff happens, and

you don't notice it while it's happening.

Life is sort of passing by.

I held him once.

I held him once.

Yeah, he felt so nice in my arms.

And then they took him away.

I'm gonna hold him again.

I'm gonna hold him real tight.

I'm gonna hold him

so tight that no one...

...could take him away

from me ever again.

Hey, Volvo, bring on your balls.

You said you'd take care of this.

I really need the money.

Take care of it.

Take care of it.

You know what's cool?

My girlfriend, Amy, and I...

...we're so attracted to each other,

so in love with each other...

...and she really misses me.

I can tell from the voice

on her answering machine.

She really misses me,

and I love her so much.

It's really great.

We're so attracted to each other.

Amy, I love you!

I'm gonna be a really great mother.

You think...?

You sick motherf***er!

Sick! Sick! Sick!

You know my girlfriend?

I miss my girlfriend, Amy, so much.

So...

- Amy's the best.

- I'm gonna be a great mom.

I'm gonna be the greatest mom...

Amy and I are so good together.

Wide awake.

- Do you want a little bit?

- Yeah, yeah.

I need another line.

- You know what the best part is?

- What?

- I'm not hooked.

- I know.

I can stop at any time.

Everything's gonna be wonderful.

I am so excited.

Hey, you got busted like a b*tch, boy.

I'm not Spider Mike right now, okay?

I shot him in the balls, though, huh?

How about that?

I shot him right in the balls,

that Judas f***ing bastard, man.

You bring people into your circle,

bring them into your house...

...and they walk all over you, right?

- Not like you. You're my friend, right?

- Yeah, yeah. Sure, whatever.

Well, someone must like you,

you lucky son of a b*tch.

Let's go.

- Cop, you're gonna let me out too, right?

- Oh, sure.

What do you mean, "Yeah, sure"?

- Cook, come on, get me out, man.

- See you later, cockroach.

Come on, Cook. Come on, man.

We're friends. Don't leave me here.

Cook, come on.

Yeah, well, thanks. Thanks a lot,

you f***ing old bastard.

Piece of sh*t.

What about me, man?

Nobody thinks about me, right?

You tied her up?

I can't believe it.

- How long?

- Four days.

- What?

- I don't know.

No, maybe...

It was maybe three days. Three...

Four days. F***!

I don't know! F***!

I've heard some cruel sh*t in my day,

but that is some pretty f***ed up sh*t.

I know.

- I thought you were a normal guy.

- I am a normal guy.

No.

Hey, look! Look, girl, it's that guy.

Check him out.

- He looks like sh*t!

- No way, girl. He looks nice.

Listen, man, I want to thank you

for bailing me out.

Don't mention it, and I mean that.

So where are you at?

What are you doing?

I'm a couple hours south of you.

I'm on my way now.

You like him, don't you?

I turned another goddamned

motel into an ashtray.

Barbecued it, huh? Attaboy!

So, what's this?

You're on your way?

Is this my two hours' notice?

- April?

- Ross, where's Nikki?

I dropped her off at the bus station

about a half-hour ago.

She's probably halfway

to Vegas or something.

Good. We need to take a ride.

F***, man, I can't do that right now.

My room's f***ed. I haven't slept...

You need a ride somewhere,

a**hole? Well, you know what?

Ross is giving me a ride today.

Okay? We're gonna go to the bus

station, we're gonna pick up Taco.

Oh, baby needs to buy some more

chemicals? Poor, poor, poor baby.

Poor little baby. Call a taxi.

Loser! Loser! You lose!

- F***, Nikki.

- I'm sorry.

- I don't know what to do.

- I'm sorry, man.

Listen, you little motherf***er,

don't you ever f***ing lie to me again!

I know, I'm sorry. She was staring at me,

giving me the evil eye. I don't know...

Listen to me.

I want you to drop that crazy b*tch off

right now and meet me at the market.

I just wanted to tell you...

No, just meet me

at the goddamned market! Bye.

You wanna f*** him, don't you?

I can smell the snail trails

all over the store.

F*** you!

You always talking sh*t like that.

Listen, can I use your backroom?

- Yeah. It's right back there.

- Go ahead.

- You like him, eh?

- Shut up. Stop bothering me.

You're always bothering me.

One guy looks at me too...

My baby! Ross, look.

I missed you so much.

- Yes, you did.

- Hi, Taco.

Looks like a perfectly healthy

green dog.

This is great.

Come on, sweet pea.

- Las Vegas, huh?

- We're gonna go to Vegas.

- Oh, I wish he was there.

- That would be good, right?

- So Las Vegas is how long by bus?

- It's a seven-hour bus ride.

Well, around seven hours.

Not so bad.

- Oh, I don't have any cash.

- Here, sir.

- I had a really good talk, you know?

- I had such an amazing time. Thank you.

Ross, if you ever make it

out to Vegas...

...you have to call me.

Do you pinkie promise?

- I pinkie... I pinkie promise.

- Thank you.

Because I don't know if I'm ever

gonna come back here.

- Really?

- Yeah.

You know he wasn't mad at you, right?

He wasn't.

- Come here, baby.

- That's not real.

I like you even though

you're not a normal guy.

I like you even though

you're not a normal girl.

So let's just say goodbye.

I just wanna say that I enjoyed

all this time that I spent with you.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Okay.

Come here.

Be safe.

Well...

- Good luck with Amy.

- Well, good luck in Las Vegas.

- Just be yourself, okay?

- Thank you.

All aboard, please.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Hi, it's Amy. I'm not here, so leave

a message and I'll call you back.

Hey, Amy, it's Ross. I called before,

but it was busy, so I'm calling again.

You know, I really need to talk to you,

so if you're there, pick up.

I wanted to talk to you because

I haven't heard your voice...

...and so I wanted to talk to you.

So please...

...if you'd give me a call,

that'd be wonderful, and I love you.

It's your machine,

and pick up if you're there.

All right, it's Ross. I'll call back. Okay.

- Have you seen...?

- He's in the backroom.

- Chilling out.

- Back there?

Yeah, back there.

You guys keep it quiet, okay?

- Yeah.

- All right.

Did you get the girl and the little dog

to the bus stop?
