[faint music playing]
I'm sorry, I know I'm late.
I had to change.
All right, I'll see you
in a second.
Bye.
Bye, Gary.
Gary?
Gary'?
Hey, can you hear me'?
You better
watch your step, Dotty.
[chuckles] It's Emily.
[deep sigh] Oh, hi.
What's going on'?
What's going on is you
just got out of surgery
and you need to be
in bed, honey.
I'd love to go to bed with you.
Shall we, then'?
Let's go.
We shall.
Let's do it.
Hold onto your knickers.
[music playing on radio]
Hm, what is taking so long?
You just had one.
Yeah, well, maybe
I need one more, baby.
Can't you just like, buy them in
bulk, so we don't have to do this'?
You did this
on the palooza trip, too.
This coming from the guy who had to pee
five minutes after getting into the car.
Yeah, dude. Why don't you take a
piss before we leave, you know?
I have a small bladder.
That's not the only thing that's small.
How do you know that'?
Your momma told me.
That's what I thought.
She has herpes.
You're screwed.
And the winner.
Hey, um, what's the deal'? You and
Emily getting back together or what'?
I don't know. I think we're
Oh, there she is.
[car horn hunks] Hey.
(Sean) Hey, over here.
Come on, let's go.
Here, let me get that.
Hi, I missed you.
Oh, my God, you look so good.
Let's go, let's go.
[upbeat music playing]
It aim'! Nobody's business
Who I see Or what I'm doing
You're in my mind
You're in my heart
I love you All night long
I love you for the things
That you do
Watch me fly Until I fall
Don't Bring me down
Feeling all right
But don? Bring me down
Ah, no,
not right now. Later.
But this is some of the best stuff.
No cough.
I'm good.
Dude, I just got out of rehab,
and we're going
to South by Southwest.
Exactly. You just
got out of rehab.
No, come on. Don't be like that.
Take a hit.
Here, Hank, you go.
I'll have some later.
That's stupid. You do it. Here.
Oh.
One-night stand.
A midget or a troll'?
Okay, so you're saying
with your mom or your sister'?
(An) Oh!
That's not funny, man.
What if I told mom
you said that'?
Yeah.
Hank, this one is for you.
(Tyler) There you go, baby.
Who would you rather,
Bieber or The Big O'?
It's too late,
it already happened.
The Bieb and I tag-teamed The O
last weekend after his concert.
It was great. (Sean) I saw that.
It was a good show.
It was great.
It was probably the best
one she's ever had.
Amanda.
Mm-hm.
Mile-high club,
or in an elevator?
She'd rather go down than up.
[all gasp] Really?
And that's
your boyfriend, right'?
That's your boyfriend.
You're so sweet.
[upbeat rock music playing]
[no audible dialog]
Say hello To the new boy
Ever-ready
Supernatural spawn
Of class and glamour
Oh the look in his eyes
Don't he slay 'em
With chic?
Baby, I miss you.
I wish you were here.
Hank misses you.
Say hi, Tyler.
( Tyler) Hey,
Hey. (Sean) Hi, Kate.
Bye.
dropping, so I need to eat, stat.
Yes.
No, let's just power through.
Here.
Have a protein bar.
I don't want a protein bar.
I want real food.
(Hank) Ugh.
Well, I mean, anybody else hungry?
No, not really.
Yes, really, extremely.
(Amanda) Yes.
All right, fine. Look, the next place
to eat is 43 miles away, you know?
Sold.
It's kind of a big detour. That's right.
Forty-five minutes.
(Sean)
Finally. I got to piss.
(Hank) lam freaking hungry.
Hurry, we've got
to get to the show.
(Amanda) Oh, no, no, no.
You're not closed, are you?
Sorry, hon. No, can we just get
something to eat just really quick?
No one here.
Cash register's closed.
Which way y'all headed?
We're going west.
It's a fast food place, though,
with lots of processed food.
But y'all have a good night.
(Tyler) Thank you, Mildred.
But we wanted your chicken
"Fred" steak. Bye.
[all chatter]
I need your help.
Well, I have a protein
shake you could have.
A fresh salt malt'? Or you could
eat one of Tyler's bars'?
You're so disgusting.
Oh, come on.
I love you.
I love your face.
(Emily) I love you.
[child sobbing]
[sobbing]
Let's go and get some food.
Hi.
Where's your mommy and daddy?
I don't know.
I can't find my grandpa.
Is he here?
I don't know.
I want to go home, but it's too
far to walk all by myself.
(Emily) It's okay, sweetheart.
What's your name?
Lucy.
Hi, Lucy. I'm Emily. Hi.
( Tyler) We should
find her grandpa.
Yeah, we're going to find
Why don't we call your
mommy and daddy? Okay.
(Emily)
What's your phone number?
I don't know. They just
got a new cell phone.
Why don't we just
call the police?
Yeah, we got to get
out of here, you guys.
Either way, we'd still have
to wait for her.
Well, let's drop her at the nearest
precinct and be done with it, then.
You're not going to have kids
with this guy, are you'?
Look, I'm just saying, we don't need to
be dealing with a little girl right now.
With all the abductions
and paranoia and everything,
I'm just saying, someone could
get the wrong idea, right'?
I just want to go home.
Can you take me home?
Where do you live?
What's your doll's name'?
Jade.
That's a nice name.
She loves me.
How far do you live out here?
It's not far.
Just take a left.
( Tyler) Right here?
Where, right here?
Right there.
Right here'?
Yes, right there.
You're so pretty.
You're the one that's pretty.
Shh, Jade's talking.
Jade thinks you're pretty, too.
Man, this road sucks.
Is that your house?
Uh-huh.
Oh, cool.
Right there.
This place is creepy.
I don't like it.
Is that another one of your
fortune teller's visions?
This is cool.
I'll be right back.
Hey, you want me
to come with you'?
I got it, thanks.
Come on, Lucy.
"You want me
to come with you?"
[chuckles]
P-whipped.
(Sean)
You're so p-whipped.
[demonic whisper]
Come in.
Are your parents home?
They're probably
just out looking for me.
Hello?
Hello? Do you want
to see my room'?
Sure.
Come on.
[ominous music playing]
[laughs]
[Growl]
[growling continues]
What happened to your dolls'?
I found them like this.
Let's, um, let's go
wait for your parents.
[growling]
She'll be fine, man.
Well, we can't stay here.
(Tyler) Hey, Em's right.
We can't just leave her here.
She's a kid.
We got to at least wait
until her parents show up.
Are you looking
to adopt, Tyler, or what'?
Yeah, besides, we're
missing the Chili Peppers.
Hey, where you going?
It's my playtime now.
All right, but don't go
too far away, okay'?
