by NASA.

I mean, more than one astronaut

has -- has made visual contact.

She's got

a lot of fun facts.

I do.

Hey, do you guys want to get

something to eat or, uh...?

I could choke

on a damn corn dog.

I'll tell you that much.

-I bet you could.

- I bet you could.

-I bet you could.

I bet you could.

Ha, ha, ha.

Hey, now. Hey.

Circulation in the feet

is so important.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, guys.

I got chips.

Enjoy 'em!

We'll be seeing you!

Yoo-hoo!

Hey, wait.

Hey. Hey.

Guys. Hey!

Hey!

They're stealing the car!

Guys!

Guys!

They stole the car.

I gave it to them.

Mercedes?

I gave it to 'em.

You just give --

you just gave them

the Mercedes.

They'll be

together 10 years in march,

and Marlon had to visit

his grandmother

every day in the home.

He had to hitchhike

back and forth.

All right. Hey.

Hold on one second, here.

You gave them the car?

And you know what?

They felt bad for us.

You just gave them

the Mercedes?

I told them

that we were short on cash,

and they gave us --

they gave us some money.

I got everyone chips!

I got everyone chips.

You gave them the Mercedes

for $87?

No, I gave them the car

because I'm a nice

f***ing person,

which is something that

you know nothing about at all.

At all.

What kind of passive-aggressive

bullshit is that,

giving away the car

in the middle of nowhere?

I left my whole life

to hang out with an idiotic girl

who goes to dance therapy.

I mean, dance therapy?

You're out of your mind.

I mean, what kind of game

are you playing with me?

Oh, you think

this is a game?

Yeah.

Really?

No game.

Lolita?

You okay?

You're insane.

You know that?

You're -- you are insane.

And you're a loser

who plays it safe.

Where you going?

Hey.

You don't know

anything about me.

Oh, yeah.

You're gonna limp around

for the rest of your life.

Weak.

Pathetic.

But no mistake why I'm here.

I'm here because

i can face the truth.

In the morning, I'm gone.

God!

Get in the car.

What's this?

The less you know,

the better.

I don't trust you.

Yeah,

i don't trust you.

Are we doing this?

I need to know.

Get in the car.

In 2 miles, take exit 3,

Wyoming state route 287,

to medicine bow.

Medicine bow?

Did you program this?

I don't know how

to work the thing.

Destination --

western peak medical center.

247 west center street,

medicine bow, Wyoming.

Pull over.

What?

Pull over!

Sh*t!

Where'd you get this car?

I just got it.

What's your problem?

Come here.

What?

Oh!

It's a kidney.

Ohh.

It's a human kidney.

What the hell is a kidney

doing in the car?

You stole a car

with a kidney?

- Ohh.

- I'm gonna yak.

My god.

Oh, my god.

That's disgusting.

How do you know

it's a kidney?

Ha!

It's the hospital.

Don't answer it.

Don't answer it.

Don't answer the phone.

You're gonna get us screwed.

Answer the phone.

I'm gonna answer the phone!

Okay.

Okay.

Give me the phone.

No.

Give me the phone.

Hello?

Yeah.

Okay.

Uh-huh.

All right.

Um...They expected us

an hour ago.

No, no, no, no.

They -- they didn't expect us.

It's for a teenaged boy.

He's failing.

They need it now.

F***.

In 1.2 miles,

turn right

onto highway 641 east.

Sh*t.

I need you two

to step out of the car.

I know we were going

a real fast, but --

put your hands

on the steering wheel.

Both hands.

Left foot out first.

Touch your palms.

Interlace your fingers.

Whoa.

Do you know who we are?

Look -- look at what

he's wearing.

You see his uniform?

Medical transport.

Okay?

Sweet life

medical transport.

Do you know what we have

in the back seat?

A kidney.

A human kidney.

See for yourself.

All right, check it out.

Quick.

There's a boy

being prepped for surgery

right now at western peak

medical center.

As we speak,

there are morphological changes

indicative of cell death

caused by progressive

enzymatic degradation

that will make this kidney

inviable

unless you let us go

right now.

All right.

Call it in.

Where'd you learn

all that stuff?

I, uh -- I dropped

out of medical school,

but i-i made it through

that part, I guess.

Really?

What part?

The kidney part.

Put on your seat belt.

Whoo!

Man:
They're here.

There they are.

Kidney?

-Yeah.

Hi.

We're prepped.

Some talk of a mix-up.

No. No.

No mix-up at all.

Excuse me!

Paperwork?

Right.

You know the drill.

Yeah.

I, uh...

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Did you bring the kidney?

Yes.

Yeah.

Thank you.

-Come here, baby.

-Thank you very much.

Come here, baby.

-Thank you.

-Oh.

-You, too.

-Oh.

Oh, well, let's pray.

Let's pray.

Okay.

Dear Jesus,

bless these two

for what they did,

giving Robert a second chance.

In the name of the father,

we have been asking for your

prayers all these years.

You have answered our prayers.

Let them be blessed

in all their endeavors.

Lolita:

Where do you fall on god?

Kenny:
I don't feel a need

to figure it out, really.

You?

I...

Barely believe

in myself.

Long day, huh?

Yeah.

Good day.

When was the last time

that you felt anything?

Uh, you know,

quite a while ago.

What happened?

I just, uh,

ran out of gas.

There's got to be more.

Not everyone has a story.

I ran out of gas.

Coming to bed?

You want me to come to bed

with you?

You know I have

a problem, right?

You were very forthcoming.

Okay, so i-i don't think

this is a really...

Great idea.

I want to go to bed with you.

You know,

it's hard to believe, but...

Look. I-i...

I find that very flattering

because you're very sexy.

Um...

What?

You're awkward.

No, I'm not awkward.

I'm just --

yes, you are.

Look, I just told you --

no, it's -- it's appealing.

I -- it's --

it's kind of appealing.

What are you doing?

Just come over here.

Just relax.

Okay.

You know what?

Let's just talk about this

for a second.

No. No.

Let's not talk.

Okay?

Hey, hey, hey.

You're fine.

We'll go slow.

You'll be fine.

I'll just start

right here, okay?

It's stuck.

No, I got it.

Hey, you know what?

Could you just hold

the zipper part up there?

I've just got to match up

the teeth right there.

Keep that -- okay.

You know what?

I'm just --

I'll get it from below.

Here. Just -- why don't you

take it off from --

try to go from --

pull up.

Okay.

All right.

Just pull it -- pull it up.

Yeah.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

Let me get --

all right. Wait.

Let me -- let me get that.

Okay.

Nice and easy.

No, I think --

hold on.

Hold on.

Got it!

You all right?

Yep. Got it.

You all right?

Yep. No, I got it.

I'm good.

All right.

It's good.

Um...

All right.

Let's call

a time-out here...

No.

...and just talk about it

for a second.

I thought you said you hate sex.

Why are you doing this?

I just...

I just think that...

It might be all right.

I'm gonna get

your shoes.

Um, can you take off

your pants?

Can you turn off

the lights?

Please.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah.

Here.

Just see how this feels.

That feel okay?

Okay.

It's okay.
