You go.

How about...

twos?

Yeah.

I got another one, too.

Oh, you were holding out.

That's not cool.

Thanks for the company.

I better go.

Move up.

Freckles On My Chin.

For a band?

I think that sucks.

What about Tiger Cock?

Bold.

It's got a ring.

It does.

No, get your own.

Come on, come on, come on.

Yours tastes better.

Mm, mm.

Oh, that's good.

Thank you.

You gotta go to the right.

Don't do that...

Don't, no I don't like it.

- I wasn't gonna do that.

- I don't like it.

- I wasn't gonna do that.

- I don't like being tickled.

I was not even tickling.

I don't... please don't.

Cut the f***ing sh*t out, man.

Oh-oh, come on, come on.

If you think that's flirting,

then no wonder you're single.

Francine, just 'cause you bang

anyone that looks at you.

Shut up.

Then stop looking at me.

F*** you, f*** you.

Corey said you went home

with some slut the other night.

So, when did you start taking

such an interest

in my nightlife?

I didn't.

Come here.

Do you like playing

with those guys?

Those guys out there?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's fun.

What if you guys

don't go anywhere?

Where are we gonna go, I mean,

we're not going anywhere, honey.

Corey thinks you will.

Yeah.

Corey.

Bless his heart, bless his

little... little thumper.

Come here.

Come here, please.

There, oh yes, see.

You're right,

we should make out.

That's a good idea.

No, I don't wanna make out.

I'll start.

You know, Corey can f***ing

mind his own business.

I mean, what is he, your dad?

No.

He's not even

your brother, right?

Yeah, I know.

Right.

So what the f***?

I guess we could make...

Make love.

No, I don't want to.

Try that... have you

ever tried that?

No, I've never tried that.

I heard it's fun.

Hi, Jenny,

it's your dad again...

calling to see when

would be a good time

to get together

for your birthday dinner.

Better late than never, right?

Give me a call when you can.

Love you.

Hello.

Hi.

Hey.

Why are you here?

'Cause I was hungry.

How was your drive?

It was pretty standard.

Do you mind that I'm...

Uh, no, go ahead,

go right ahead, here.

Thanks.

So what's the attraction?

Of?

Truck driving.

I don't know.

Is that your rig?

My rig?

That's what they call it, right?

Yeah.

Can I check it out?

How long you been

workin' at the diner?

Mm... 12 years,

on and off.

Wow.

Gonna stay working there?

Mm... I don't know.

You wanna give it a go?

Okay.

A drive.

- Yeah.

- Come on.

All right,

here's your lesson, ready?

Mm-hm.

Hat on.

Thank you.

See that key right there?

- Mm-hm.

- That's your ignition.

- Yep.

- Engine.

Start right there.

Clutch, brake, accelerator.

You know what this is.

- My stick.

- Yeah.

All right, so you're gonna

put in the clutch.

Okay.

And turn the ignition,

turn the key.

Yeah, it sticks a little bit,

just wiggle it.

There you go, hit the start.

Like that.

And release the brake.

- How do I do that?

- Just punch it in.

Okay.

All right.

So what you're gonna do

is you're gonna

put the clutch in,

and let it out slowly.

I'm going backwards.

Gonna go forward.

- Okay.

- All right.

There you go.

Got it?

I think so.

Okay.

Just give it a little gas.

Start turning your wheel.

I feel like it's gonna tip over.

Mm-mm, just keep going,

give it a little more gas.

- Okay.

- Good.

Straighten.

You wanna stop?

Yeah, I need to.

Put the clutch in, all right?

And you're just gonna

hit the brake real lightly.

Ooh, sorry!

That's it, hit the ignition.

- Hit the key.

- Uh-huh.

Pull out your brake.

That's it.

Nice job.

You're hired.

So...

...how much does one of these

bad boys cost?

That depends.

I got this one used, so...

- It's a sleeper?

- Yeah.

It's fancy.

It's not that fancy.

It gets it done, though.

Hm.

It's bigger than

what I thought it would be.

- More books.

- More books.

Boring.

I could sleep here.

Do you wanna come back here

with me?

It's probably not a good idea.

You sure?

No.

I'm sorry.

Um... I'm sorry.

You shouldn't be sorry.

Wanna play

with the broken radio?

You saw me looking at it,

didn't you?

Yeah.

It's more wishing it worked

so I could call for help.

Breaker, breaker.

I, uh, am feelin'

a little lonely out here.

Yeah.

It's really not the same

when you know

no one can hear you.

You still early.

I didn't get to eat.

What you want?

Mm... apple pie.

Is good dinner.

Want me to warm it up?

No, I like it cold.

Here is.

So dreamy just

for a truck driver?

Shut up.

It's me!

The machine by the back door,

it don't spin.

I'll fix it.

And you owe.

For before and for this.

Is your little girl coming?

No.

I don't have any cash,

can I pay you tomorrow?

You know...

if you're happy,

your little girl

like you better.

Thanks for the tip.

- I'm on a break.

- I didn't say anything.

All the storage units

have a number, right?

So you have to, like,

remember which number

goes to which one,

you know what I'm saying?

I know, what's the point

of the story?

I'm just saying, there's

this one that's been locked

for like a while.

- Probably just someone's junk.

- Maybe there's something

in there we can sell,

I don't know.

It's probably not that valuable

if they're keepin' it there.

They'd probably keep it

at their house.

I don't know, man.

Can't you just go

look at the record

and see who rented

the damn unit?

Well, yeah, I mean...

- Not workin'?

- Not yet.

Um, I was gonna go for a walk,

do you wanna go?

Yeah.

- Hey, man.

- Hey.

How you doin'?

- Great.

- Right on.

- Who is that?

- Holy sh*t.

Ohh...

Yolanda.

Jelena.

Jelena.

It's almost like you live here.

Do you ever go home?

I been pullin'

some extra runs lately.

- You cold?

- A little bit.

- Here.

- No!

You don't have to do that.

Come on.

I'm gonna take it.

Got it.

So those guys back there,

they, uh, friends of yours?

Uh...

that's my brother

and his friend.

Seem like the type

that had a brother.

I don't...

s that good or bad?

No, it's good.

You seem just like

you can hold your own.

Mm-hm.

That's my foster brother.

There were four boys and me.

So, is this

your dream come true,

bein' a trucker?

No.

I was actually

a banker for 10 years.

D'you get fired?

No, my branch closed,

and, I don't know.

I was looking for another job,

I just realized

I don't want to spend

the rest of my life

behind a desk, so...

just thought

this would be a good way

to get some perspective.

Huh.

Oh, the jacket.

Very nice move, the gentleman.

Who's that?

What?

Who is that guy?

No one.

No one.

Aww, don't give me that sh*t.

You sleep with every

single girl at that bar.

It's true.

Tell me about him.

- Nuh-uh.

- Tell me,

tell me about him, he from here?

He from here?

- No.

- No?

Mm-mm.

Where did you meet him?

Here.

He's a truck driver.

Figures.

You got something to say, Corey?

No.

I mean, I saw his truck,

I figured he was

a f***in' truck driver.

Wow, that's great.

So you're... cozyin' up

with truckers now?
