love you or take care of you?

Like, he's not the one who's dreaming.

Christ.

Are you...

You gotta be kiddin...

I don't want him to lose his money.

Listen. Don't worry about me, okay?

Don't worry about me.

I have to give 'em the guitar.

I have to give it to them.

- But they don't even know you.

- I don't know you!

Whoever heard of giving $20,000

to someone that you just met?

Yeah, but the guy's desperate.

He's all f***ed up.

Enough.

I can pay for my own kid's college.

I'm just trying to help you, man.

You wanna talk about f***ed up?

Look in the mirror.

I'm not the one trying to kill myself, buddy.

Colee...

Colee stop crying.

I can't give you the guitar.

I can't give it to you.

I know. It's okay.

It's not okay.

I want to give it to you,

but then I won't have...

I won't have anywhere to go.

Colee. Come on, Colee.

All right, listen.

How about you stop crying

and we'll stop.

What do you mean?

You been wanting to sightsee, right?

Yeah.

Okay, so we'll go somewhere,

do something.

Could we have a picnic?

Yeah, a picnic. Whatever.

Yeah.

You know, you can leave

your guitar in the car.

I'm not gonna steal it.

Well, you might not think you are,

but I'm not chancing it.

I don't want to get ditched.

Why? Does that happen to you a lot?

Look at these rocks.

That's a skipping rock.

That would go far, huh?

Yep.

Hey, that's a fossil.

That's a nice one.

- It is?

- A mollusk. See?

The poor little guy

winds up getting squished

between two rocks.

Why do we have to go back?

I like it here. It's fun.

Oh, f***.

- T.K.

- What?

Guess what.

What?

I got your problem solved.

What problem?

I was in the bathroom

and I met these real nice girls,

and they travel around

in that RV over there.

And what they do

is they're sex workers.

But they're real professional.

And I told them about

your problem and they said...

- You gotta stop telling people that!

- But they said they could take care of it.

And they said they'd give you a discount

'cause you're a serviceman

wounded in the war.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

That's what I thought.

What do you think?

- Hey, there.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- So here he is.

This is T.K.

T.K., this is Brandi,

Kendra and Savannah.

- Hey.

- Hey.

So how does this work?

Does he just pick one of you or...

Yep, or he can have all three.

How much?

He's so cute, I'll do it for free.

For free?

How does that sound?

Don't worry. She'll get it going.

If she can't, nobody can.

You come with me.

Okay.

You're all right?

We're here for ya.

- Colee?

- Yeah?

Come on.

You all right?

Yeah.

- What?

- Colee.

No good deed goes unpunished.

- What's wrong?

- I got to...

You getting cold feet?

No, I gotta get something in my stomach...

What's the problem?

I haven't eaten anything except a hot dog

in the last 24 hours.

So what? Eat later.

Well, I need to up my electrolytes.

You know, I need

a PowerBar or a Gatorade...

Okay. Do you have anything like that?

No. We just got Coke and tossed salad

and Marlboro Lights.

Hey, T.K., I saw a store on the way in.

All right, well...

I guess they're gonna go to the store.

Get me a fried egg sandwich on a roll!

Are you mad at me?

No.

I'm sorry.

I was just trying to help.

I should just keep my big mouth shut.

Don't worry about it.

Wow, look at those clouds.

Wow, it's really coming down.

That's a good one.

This is unbelievable.

Wow.

Holy sh*t.

Holy sh*t is right.

Get out of the car.

I'm not getting out of the car.

You stay in this car you might die.

If I leave the car I might die.

T.K., open the door and get out.

It's okay.

You're gonna be fine.

Okay. Is it gone?

Oh, my God.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah.

- What's going on?

- Nothing.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Is it working?

- What?

Is it working?

As a matter of fact, yeah, I think...

Yeah, it's working

pretty good right now, so...

That's great.

Oh, no. Okay.

Yeah, that's working.

That's great.

Yep.

Wow.

We should get out.

Hey, chief!

Guess what.

What?

His penis works.

What do you mean?

You got wood?

Yeah. Definitely wood.

So we don't need

these ladies anymore?

Nope. He's all fixed up.

He could pound a nail with that thing.

Pound a nail?

How do you know that?

Did you touch it?

No, I didn't have to.

It was just pokin' right into me.

It's a miracle.

You are one lucky bastard, T.K.

You all right?

Yeah, you don't seem too happy...

considering.

I'm all right.

Yeah, I get to see my girlfriend,

go back down range

like nothing ever happened.

T.K., what are you worried about?

You're on a lucky streak.

I don't think so.

I mean, you can only get lucky

for so long, you know?

Streaks don't last forever,

and I've been burnin' some karma.

Hey, you can't think that way.

It's gonna mess your head up,

get you in trouble over there.

Yeah, you gotta forget about luck.

I mean, look at Randy.

Robbing Lucky Jim's, not getting caught.

That was lucky. Amazing.

But maybe if he had have got caught,

he would have gone to jail

and he wouldn't have enlisted,

and then he might be alive.

That might be luckier.

So, you know, just don't think about luck.

I'm on my third tour.

The odds aren't good.

Maybe you need to change the odds.

Maybe you don't go back.

You can go to Canada.

Take a break.

No, I can't go to Canada, man.

You're a coward if you go to Canada.

Yeah, but you're a coward that's alive.

Plus you've done your service.

Given a lot.

More than most people.

I can't do it, you know.

They got sh*t football in Canada.

Become a hockey fan.

No.

I don't know anyone up there, anyway.

We'll come visit you.

I've never been to Canada.

- Yeah.

- Nah.

- Yeah.

- I'm good.

Hey! There's Lucky Jim's.

Robbing a casino's a ballsy thing to do.

In a weird way, you gotta admire it.

You know, he was wearing

a gorilla mask when he did it.

On Halloween

about three years ago.

Nobody even looked twice

at a guy running down the street

wearing a mask and carrying a gun.

I'm happy for you, T.K.

You know, you're going home

to your girlfriend,

and that's gonna be real nice.

You just treat her right.

Okay.

When you get married,

let me know 'cause I want

to send you something.

You got lots of celebrating to do.

You got your bridal shower

and your engagement party...

All right, Colee.

- Rehearsal dinner...

- Stop, stop, stop.

It's gonna be nice.

Just take care.

That was a bit forward.

Good luck at the tables.

Listen to me.

You go home,

do what you need to do there.

If I were you, I'd think twice

about going back.

Well, if I go home, I'm going back.

You know, my whole family's in the Army,

so it's almost the same thing.

Well, see you guys.

So, uh, you sure you don't want me

to drive you over to Randy's?

No, I gotta do this by myself.

Thanks.

I'll take a taxi.

Well, if you need anything,

you give me a call.

All right?

I'm real sorry about that guitar.

Forget it.

You bring it to them.

They're gonna love you.
