at first, but...

Now I'm not so sure.

I don't even

really know what it is.

Do you?

You're big.

Strange, isn't it?

Here we are

in the darkest corner

of this earth,

and we're afraid

of our own kind.

You know where you are?

You are a long way from comfort.

And without this,

you go nowhere.

You see a kid look like that?

Did you see her?

No.

I'm going to take you

to comfort,

and you will go inside

and find her for me.

I don't care

about nothing or nobody

except that little girl.

I'm going to kill you

if you don't find her.

Comprende?

Mm.

Vmonos!

I'm thirsty.

This make you more thirsty.

We got guns at the wall.

They'll shoot if they see you.

Mm.

So what? That's your kid?

What if I can't find her?

You will find her.

Trade you for that leg.

I'm being friendly, dude.

I can keep it all for myself.

It's up to you.

Wait! No!

Mm!

F***.

No.

No, no, no, no! No!

Let me go!

Aah!

Ugh!

Vmonos!

Would you turn around, please?

Mm.

What's your deal? How come

you're in the bad batch?

Gang related?

Drug related?

Illegal.

No papers.

You a Mexican?

Cubano, from Havana.

I heard of Cuba.

That's in the tropics, right?

Near Hawaii?

Here is Cuba.

I am born here, in Havana.

I come with a boat

to America when I'm 16.

To Miami. Miami.

What did you do there?

Like, what did you do in Miami?

A lot of thing.

I make tattoos, construction.

I do this, that.

No big deal.

I, uh... I got this one

when I was 13.

And this.

See this one?

It's from the first boy

I ever loved.

He was a musician.

We both got matching ones

at the same time.

And this one, 5040.

What's your number?

Come on.

What's your number?

What's the big deal?

Just show me your number.

Your kind, you're evil.

That's what you are. Evil.

You don't see things

how they are.

You only see things how you are.

I don't care.

I hate you. Get it?

I hate all of y'all.

No problema para m.

It's okay.

Doesn't change nothing for me.

Doesn't change nothing for you.

Ohh.

Ohh!

Come on. Come with me.

Come on.

Let's go.

I'm getting the f*** out of here.

Come on.

Hurry the f*** up.

Let's go, now.

Open up.

Close it up.

What's up, man?

What's going on?

What's your number, fool? 5828.

Been out in the desert two days.

I need some food.

You guys gonna help me out?

What's up with

the white girl, man?

Found her ass out there

with one of them bridge people.

All right, kick back, homey.

Thanks, man.

- Welcome to comfort, ese.

- Yeah, welcome to comfort.

Excuse me.

Have you seen this kid?

Uh, no.

You seen this kid?

No.

Excuse me, sir.

Have you seen this kid anywhere?

Mm-mmm.

No?

Can you look out

for her, please?

Have you guys seen

a little girl?

I ain't seen sh*t, man.

I wish they'd stop

making pennies.

I hate pennies. I hate 'em! Hey!

I keep losing things.

Hey.

Don't wanna be a loser.

I wanna be a finder.

Finder finds things.

Loser loses them.

I need to find a kid.

Little girl. Yeah.

She's about this tall.

Yeah.

You've seen her?

Yeah.

Where? You wanna

play with my puzzle?

You wanna play?

No, I'm not gonna play

with your puzzle.

Thank you.

I'll call you later.

Yeah, baby!

It's happening!

Take a good look there.

That's the economy of comfort

sitting right in front of you.

Right beautiful.

See, you can catch

more flies with honey.

But who wants flies?

Remind me your name again,

sweetheart?

It's Arlen.

Let me ask you

a question, Arlen.

When you sh*t here in comfort,

your sh*t goes away.

- That accurate?

- I guess.

You sh*t. It leaves.

You know why it leaves?

Um...

Because, uh, the toilet

takes it someplace?

Yes, it does.

Takes it where it takes it...

Because of me.

'Cause I hate the idea

that my sons and daughters would

have to stew in their own sh*t.

Cows stand in their sh*t.

They stand in their sh*t...

'Cause they're cows.

Pigs stand in their sh*t...

'Cause they're pigs.

Some misbehaving humans been making

hamburgers out of my sons and daughters.

But we are not cows.

We don't stand in our sh*t.

The reason we don't...

Is because

I won't let that happen.

I got each and every toilet

in comfort

taking that sh*t

from all your little asses

and sending it down the pipes

till it reaches a place

where no one thinks about it

and no one smells it.

Ain't that nice of me?

But you don't like it here,

do you?

No, I just...

Costs a lot to be here.

Cost you an arm and a leg.

Where would you rather be?

It's all right.

You know what I see

when I look at you?

A sailboat out in the sea...

With no wind.

What is it you want, Arlen?

If you could have one thing,

anything,

what would it be?

Anything?

Anything at all.

A time machine.

Why?

So I could go back.

Fix things.

Make it better.

All the things you've done

have put you right here,

on this couch, in this room,

with me.

Close your eyes.

Close them.

What do you really want?

I wanna be the solution

for something.

You know what this is?

It's a tomato.

First,

it was a seed.

You take care of a garden,

and it takes care of you back.

You feed it, it feeds you.

Few things in this world

operate like that,

fair and square.

It just needs a place to grow.

It grows and grows.

Then it comes out

and it's part of the world.

Because you know

what the dream really is?

It's life.

Life is the dream.

The only dream.

I want the dream.

What dream is that?

This one here.

Like they have.

Make up a room for our guest.

Is everything okay?

Hey. I'm sorry.

I guess I'm just a bit nervous.

That's okay.

Can you come in for a second?

Yeah, of course.

Is this really necessary?

Come here, kid.

We're going.

Bring her down!

You wanna see it

all over your f***ing walls?

Come here.

Promise me something.

You take care of this rabbit.

Come on.

Yeah.

When we're out and clear of the

wall, I'll let her go. Come here.

Let's go, kid.

I'm real disappointed

in you, Arlen.

Real disappointed.

Once we're out,

I'll let her go. I swear.

- Yo, check this

sh*t out right here.

- Open it, nacho.

- Open the gate, homes.

Open it!

Come on.

Bye, Gerita.

Don't come back,

you crazy b*tch.

Miel.

You good. Okay?

Hey.

Wait.

What are you doing right now?

Do you want to hang out

or something?

You are very confused, no?

Not really.

What you think I am, gringa?

What if all these things that

happened to us happened to us

so the next things that gonna

happen to us can happen to us?

You brought back my kid.

You done now. You can go.

Go back to comfort.

I'm not going back there.

In this place

is only death for you.

Is like that.

Well, I like it here.

What do you like?

Where is here?

Look around. Is nothing.

I want spaghetti because the

other man gave me spaghetti.

I want spaghetti.

I'm hungry.

I want spaghetti!

I want spaghetti!
