( laughs )

Now I kinda feel stupid.

Oh, I've felt stupider.

Get in or I'll shoot.

( laughs )

- ( water squirting )

- Oh! Ah!

Oh, you got me. Ah!

Ah!

Ha!

- Whoo!

- See, it isn't so bad!

So how long you think

you'll survive like this?

What do you mean?

You know, all this traipsing

around, whatnot.

Mmm.

I don't know.

I'm still breathing.

Think you'll ever quit?

Not really.

Adventure.

You look like you got something to say.

Kinda hoping you'd stay around for a while.

Oh, Christ, I...

I don't know.

You don't even hardly know me.

That's a little harsh.

Oh?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

So where you headed now?

North.

Up to Oregon.

Mmm.

That's a... that's a uniquely

specific answer coming from you.

Yeah.

"Yeah. "

You tryin' to hurt me?

What the hell you talkin' about?

I'm talking about you.

Are you so cold that you can't see

that a girls trying here,

or are you just that stupid?

Man, you don't say sh*t, do you?

You just staring off

into the distance half the time.

It's like... it's like what the f***'s

going on inside there anyway?

Uh, I don't know what

you want me to do here.

You want me to promise you something?

I didn't plan to thumb across the country

to settle in some hill country

back... sh*t.

Now it sounds like I've worn out my welcome.

Sounds like you're ready

for me to go already.

Hell.

Sorry things worked out that way.

( girl groans )

Girl:
I don't like being treated

like a piece of trash

or a crazy person.

If you ain't sticking around,

I want to come with you.

( echoing )

Come with you, come with you...

come with you, come with you,

come with you, come with you.

( distorted )

Come with you, come with you...

- ( echoing continues )

- ( wind whistling )

( echoing stops )

( echoing softly )

Come with you, come with you...

( birds squawking, clucking )

GirI's voice:

Come with you, come with you...

Come with you, come with you...

come with you, come with you...

( rustling )

( high distorted voice )

I'm here.

( echoing )

Here... here... here.

( indistinct echoing )

( engine revving )

- ( indistinct high voice )

- ( revving )

( voice squealing )

( soft music playing )

- What you having?

- Just a beer.

You look a little peaked, stranger.

I got lost in them hills.

Lucky you got out.

- ( feedback squealing )

- ( tapping on microphone )

Sorry about that.

Thank you so much for coming out tonight.

This is my... my first number

and I hope you enjoy it.

( strumming guitar )

It ain't the best place to be

But the highway has accepted me

Twisting 'round them mountain ways

Or driving on for endless days

Freely we can ride the wind

Or wonder on what could have been

But I would rather run

Catch the tail end

of the sun...

( static crackles )

( all screaming )

( screams )

( girl's voice echoing )

Come with you, come with you...

( man's voice echoing )

Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere...

( Fat Man's voice, distorted )

That man is dangerous.

That man, that man...

You see that man over there?

Dangerous, dangerous...

( echoing fades )

( music plays on radio )

( beeping )

( beeping continues )

( thunder rumbles )

( voices singing softly on recording )

Good night, Mother.

Man on recording:

Whoopee!

( rain pattering )

Woman's voice:

I'll put you outside in the rain.

( baby crying )

I'm gonna put you outside in the rain.

( guitar strumming )

( voices, music continue )

I'll put you outside...

( thumps )

I'm gonna put you outside in the rain...

( beeping )

( music resumes )

( silence )

( screeching )

( silence )

- ( wind whistling )

- ( footsteps approaching )

You could die out here.

I don't care.

Need a lift?

I don't care.

( groans )

Oh-hh...

Oh.

( grunting )

Yeah.

Oh!

( engine humming )

( groans )

Where to now, friend?

Uh, west... a day's drive.

Then my place for the night.

Gotta pick up supplies.

Whatever, man.

My daughter should be there.

I didn't know you were a father.

She's, uh, she's very sick

and newly deformed.

I wish I hadn't left her so long.

( music playing softly on radio )

I get nervous driving at night.

Eyes aren't what they used to be.

I guess that's what happens.

You got a driver's license?

No.

You should get one.

They're very useful.

( loud sputtering )

( sputtering continues )

( light buzzing )

Make yourself at home, stranger.

( woman grunting, panting )

- ( chains rattling )

- ( woman grunting )

Shoo!

( panting )

Ah, there! I said I was sorry.

( grunting, panting )

Man:
You happy now?

Huh? You happy?!

( grunting, panting )

( panting continues )

( chicken clucking )

( buzzing )

( clucking )

You never play that guitar.

I don't have a song.

Still keeping it all in.

All that mystery does make a girl wonder.

( laughs )

( laughter echoing )

( beeping )

( laughter echoing )

You take me for granted, but I do love you.

Something wrong, sugar?

I didn't expect to see you.

Guess I should have.

( voice echoing )

Sorry if I startled you.

Just couldn't stay away from you.

( echoing ) We belong together.

We belong together.

Come with you, come with you,

come with you, come with you...

I might go back outside, I guess.

( echoing ) No.

I told you I was gonna come with you.

Wait here.

- ( fizzes )

- Hmm.

- ( crackles )

- Ah.

- ( panting )

- ( crackles )

Here.

( feedback whistling )

( whirring )

( hissing )

( whirring, buzzing )

( faint buzzing )

( banging, squealing )

( gasping )

- ( woman squealing )

- ( Rambler screams )

- ( squealing )

- Ah!

( retching )

( gagging )

( groans )

- ( woman growling )

- Aggh!

( static buzzing )

( Rambler shouting, gagging )

( woman squealing, snarling )

( screeching )

( shouting )

( buzzing continues )

( silence )

( door creaks open )

( low buzzing )

( indistinct police radio chatter )

( gasps, moans )

( metal banging, squealing )

( squealing continues )

- ( chains rattling )

- ( squealing )

( grunting )

( squealing )

( squealing fades )

( faint whining, crackling )

You ever seen "Frankenstein"?

No.

I love that f***in' movie.

You should see it.

Okay.

It's about this scientist,

creates a monster.

Names it after himself, I think.

Then the monster gets loose

and really out of control.

Ends up f***ing sh*t up pretty bad.

Like, really bad.

( chuckles )

It seems like...

it's like an accident.

Little bit of a gray area, I suppose.

He ends up killing this little girl.

Then a bunch of people burn him up

in a castle or something.

It's really good.

I think I still feel bad for that monster...

in a way, you know?

I just didn't like what they did to him.

Still working out my

feelings on it, I guess.

( doorbell rings )

( laughing )

You look like hell, you old son of a gun.

( horse whinnying )

How'd the road treat you?

She's cursed.

Still remember how to

use one of these things?

I think it'll come back to me.

I guess we'll see, brother.

Girl:
Lord bless this food

and the hands that prepared it.
