It's the only thing.

Hey, let's

get out of here.

I wanna go.

So go.

What are you

doing here?

What are you?

Is that what you want?

You wanna be like them?

I don't wanna be them.

They wanna be me.

Wider.

Wider.

- Hello?

- Ruby.

- Thank god you're awake.

- Jesse?

I didn't

know who to call.

Are you okay?

It sounds

like he's killing her.

What? Who is?

What do I do?

He already

tried to get in.

Can you get out?

I think so.

Come here.

You're gonna be safe.

I brought you

some things.

Thanks.

You can wear this

if you want.

Unless you prefer

to sleep naked.

Are you going out?

I'm not

going anywhere.

I'm going to

stay here with you.

This house

is amazing.

How long have

you lived here?

I don't live here.

But I thought

you said this was

your house.

No, I said I'm

house-sitting.

Watering the plants.

Checking the mail.

Oh, well...

Do you think

they'll mind that

I'm crashing?

You can stay here

for as long as you like.

Sit.

My mom used to

brush my hair

after a bad day.

It's very soothing.

Ruby?

Just relax.

Ruby?

Mmm?

Thank you.

For what?

For being

so good to me.

It's what

friends are for.

No, I mean...

I think you're

really wonderful.

I think

you're just...

I think

you are, too.

I think you're

so beautiful.

And you have

such beautiful skin.

What are you doing?

I thought that's

what you wanted.

No.

Oh.

It's not what you think.

Then what is it?

I lied before.

I've never been

with anyone like that.

I don't care.

Ruby.

Ruby.

I don't care.

Stop.

Stop.

I want to.

I wanna be

your first.

Stop.

I said stop!

Jesse.

What are you doing?

You know

what my mother

used to call me?

Dangerous.

"You're a dangerous girl."

She was right.

I am dangerous.

I know what

i look like.

And what's wrong

with that anyway?

Women would kill

to look like this.

They carve and stuff

and inject themselves.

They starve to death,

hoping,

praying that one

day they'll look

like a second-rate

version of me.

Are we having

a party or something?

My girlfriend,

she hasn't worked in months.

I mean, I keep telling her,

"girl, you need to retire."

Right.

Once you hit

21 in this industry,

you're so irrelevant.

Try 20.

True.

She won't listen.

Of course she won't.

No.

I mean, she's

so desperate,

the other day

she went uptown,

she was trying to

buy this baby seal fat

from this random woman.

What, you think

that's funny?

No, I don't.

You ever had a girl

screw you out of a job?

Yes.

So what did you

do about it?

I ate her.

Ew!

Gross.

Do I know you?

What are you

doing here?

I'm waiting

for my friend.

I'd like to use you for this.

Would you be okay with that?

Annie, you're fired!

Thank you.

Are you serious?

It's not fair.

You...

You can't fire me.

Gigi.

Can you tell us

what's so interesting?

You're staring in the pool.

Look in the camera.

I need to get

her out of me.

I need to get

her out of me.
