As a girl,
you see the world
filled with sweet candy
and such.
filled with sweet candy
and such.
But one day you look around
and see a prison...
and you're on death row.
You want to run...
or scream...
or cry.
But something's
locking you up.
Are the other folks
cows chewing cud
till the hour come
Or are they just
keeping quiet like you?
Planning their escape.
On your left, honey.
What's that cashier's name?
Can't say.
When did he start
working here?
Don't know. Yesterday.
Who is he?
Don't know. Can't say.
What are you doing?
It's called work,
princess.
Kind of fun.
You might want to
give it a go some day.
Attention, shoppers.
There's a Retail Rodeo special
on aisle 3.
Liquid Drain Cleaner,
Liquid Drain Cleaner
has churning power...
and it will churn
right through your pipes.
Ladies,
you need female plumbing.
up your filthy pipes.
on aisle 3.
Have a good day...
and thank you for shopping
at Retail Rodeo.
Hey, Justine.
Can I talk to you
for a second?
Yeah.
I was just curious, uh...
have you ever been
to a Bible study?
Yeah.
Yeah, well, we got
a good one going on
every Wednesday
at the First Church
of Nazarene.
Rodney comes,
Bonita comes.
You got any interest
in reading the Bible?
I have my own,
you know, beliefs.
Well, we don't preach
fire and brimstone.
gotta live by those.
Other than
the usual ways...
we're not interested
in scaring people.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I kind of like
my nights to myself.
Well, maybe you'll have
night after night
of eternal hellfire
all to yourself.
Just kidding you.
Drive safe.
Bye-bye.
Hey, Justine.
Hey, Teeny.
How was your day?
The same. How was yours?
Wind was flipping up paint
in our eyes.
Paint stings.
Feel like
I've been attacked
by hornets
in my eyeballs.
Bubba, stand up.
Why?
Oh, for Christ sakes.
Look at that couch, Phil.
Y'all got paint all over it.
This ain't gonna come off.
I bet the... Damn it, Phil.
Including this gorgeous
eggplant shape...
I think we got
most of it up.
You two were stoned.
Keep frying
your brain like that...
you're gonna
slip off a ladder
and crack open
your head bone.
when you're high, Phil.
Like what?
Like sitting on my couch
with your big blue ass.
Everything
just turns to sh*t.
We're finally getting
nice things...
and then everything
just gets messed up.
Why is this TV buzzing?
Oh, it's the wind
doing that.
They say
the wind's coming in
different lately.
Different from what?
What you reading?
Catcher in the Rye.
What's your name,
Catcher?
Holden.
After Holden Caulfield.
He's the main character.
What's he do?
He's put upon by society...
the hypocrisy of the world.
I notice that you're,
uh, not very social.
I'm a writer, so...
What do you write?
Novels, plays,
screenplays...
stories, poetry.
That's good.
Now Justine will be
right over with you.
Where is she?
Oh, I better go.
W-What happens
at the end of your book?
Oh, he has
a nervous breakdown...
goes to
a mental hospital.
Hmm.
You don't get paid
to pick your crack.
You get paid to work.
I'm not sure
I can do makeovers.
Oh, come on. A little
pancake, eyeliner...
mascara,
rouge on the cheeks...
and powder it up.
And then you take
a moist tissue...
roll it in a ball...
and toss it
in their face.
Geez Louise, I'm talking
to a tree stump, girl.
Where are you?
Sorry. I'm just
a little tired.
I'm telling you...
it's the food you eat,
Justine.
Look at me... I am
and I've got
'Cause I don't eat meat,
and I don't eat dairy.
It's probably why you can't
get pregnant, honey.
Why you walk around
with that hung-jaw look
on your face.
It's the cheese
in your pizza
and the chicken
in your salad.
I've been to the doctor.
He says I'm fertile.
Says I could repopulate
the entire planet.
Then what's the deal here?
Did he say you're
getting enough vitamins?
He didn't say.
Or you can make
a kind of paint
where,
at different angles...
the house
is different colors.
Like, you stand
at the front door...
and the house is red.
But you stand
at the street...
the house is green.
Or you could make, like,
an invisible paint.
Just make
is a paint that could
change the molecular structure
of a house...
like a chemical acid deal.
What do you think, Teeny?
I think you two are
a pair of potheads.
of these or a half?
I'm getting that
right there.
OK, wonderful.
You didn't bring this
into the store with you?
No.
Then I'll go ahead
and charge you for it.
This is a hand lotion...
so don't put it on any
other part of your body...
even if that part
needs lubrication.
We try to keep frivolous
lawsuits to a minimum...
unless, of course,
the customer is at fault.
Do you
always wear makeup?
Oh, not very often.
Here's your change,
and f*** you very much.
Excuse me?
Thank you very much.
Good as new, I tell you.
Good as new.
Now, you might be
interested in purchasing
some of the products
that I used today...
Oh, I'm not buying
anything today.
That'd be a mistake.
These are bargain prices.
I didn't bring my purse.
I hate my job.
That makes two of us.
I hate everybody here.
I hate Gwen.
I don't know what the hell
she's so happy about.
I'm starting to understand
why maniacs go out there
and get shotguns and
shoot everybody to pieces.
Maybe you're a maniac.
Maybe so.
You know your lips
are real pouty, like a woman?
And your eyes
always look sad...
the way they droop
off to the side.
How old are you?
Uh, 22.
I'm an old lady next to you.
How old are you?
How old do you think?
I don't know.
I'm 30 years old.
How long you been
working here for?
Forever and a day.
You don't have a car?
I live down the street.
You can ride in here.
There's room.
Do you wanna come in?
I don't know.
I'm in a funk.
Well, I'm not
gonna beg you.
Well, I'm not
gonna beg you.
You got to
go there in your head...
And I did, and things
changed for me.
I'll be in my room.
OK, Tom.
I can look
over my shoulder...
figuratively speaking.
They call you Tom?
It's my slave name.
Holden's what I call myself.
This is my room.
Not a lot to look at.
What are your folks like?
They don't get me.
But they're all right.
They just...
My husband doesn't get me.
Since when do you
have a husband?
Since 7 years.
He's a painter.
What's he paint?
Houses.
He's a pig. He talks,
but he doesn't think.
I'm sick of it.
Did you go to college?
Um, I had to drop out
'cause I had a problem
with drinking and stuff...
but I'll go back.
I just got to...
prove to my folks
I can fly straight.
Did you go to college?
I was afraid
I'd lose Phil if I went.
Now it'd be
reason enough to go.
