our mementos, our memories.

Um... first memory

is Sam already pulling over

to go to the bathroom.

But this is what we're

going to be looking at

for a long time.

Nothingness.

Cars.

What we got there?

I don't see it.

Looks like there's

bullet holes in the side.

Wonder if people go out there

and shoot their guns at it.

It's just, like, a fff...

Really messed-up car.

That's crazy.

Uh... Don't forget to drive

really slow on curves.

Okay.

What are you doing? You don't

want to get a sunburn?

No, I don't want

to get a sunburn,

and I forgot to buy sunscreen.

Oh.

It must suck to be

woken up all the time.

Babe, are you

gonna wash your hands?

Ugh!

Promise me before we eat

you're gonna wash your hands.

I'll wash my hands after

I eat with my hands.

So this must be

the main drag.

I can't imagine

there being much-

singing barbecue.

Singing pig.

So, Sam got this room.

It's kind of dirty, and

there only two beds.

I guess he didn't reserve

with enough time

so that we could get

a room with one bed,

which is annoying.

But I guess it's okay,

'cause then at least

he won't steal the sheets.

Um...

But I'm gonna investigate

to see how dirty it is.

Uh...

Okay.

This is the germiest part.

Aah. Ew.

There's, like,

stains all around.

You think I could

pull off cowboy boots?

- Mnh-mnh.

- No?

- No.

- I don't think so either.

I wish I could.

It's sort of appealing

to me, but...

How 'bout a big ol'

wallet like that?

I like that.

I would want that.

Big billfold.

Yeah, I think that'd be cool.

Cowboy hat? Could I

wear a cowboy hat?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Definitely.

- Think so?

- Yeah.

- Should I go in and try one on?

Yeah.

Where are we?

We're in wild west town.

Old town, wild west.

We're at the wild west

junction.

All right?

Come on in.

Believe it or not,

this old miner here

can see your future.

Got some money? I'll

tell you all about it!

- You got some money?

- I don't.

How much does it cost

to tell your future?

I think it costs a dollar.

But remember the movie big?

Are you afraid of your future?

Hold on, let me see

if I've got a dollar.

Hey there, feller.

This here's pappy,

and it must be your lucky day

'cause I have some words

of wisdom just for you.

Listen up, now, you hear?

A closed mouth

gathers no foot!

Yep, yep. That's right.

It's a whole lot better

to say just a little bit

than to say too much

and wish you hadn't.

You know what I'm sayin'?

Now, don't you be a stranger.

I've got lots more

to say to you.

Oh, here we go.

- Okay, ready?

- Yeah.

"A new turn of events

will soon come about.

- A happy reunion with... "

- Hey, there, partner!

- Yep, I'm talkin' to you!

- "A happy reunion... "

Pappy here's

got some wisdom for you!

"A happy reunion

with a loved one

"will make life all

that you ever wanted it

"or dreamed it to be.

"You have a very

trusting nature

"and are easily taken in

by so- called friends.

"Do not be so anxious

to do favors unto others,

"as there is one

who is just waiting

to take advantage

of your good nature. "

A new turn of events

will soon come about.

Happy reunion with a loved one.

That's great. I'm gonna

keep that forever.

Stephanie?

- Mm-hmm?

Don't put that on.

- Why not?

- 'Cause I don't want you to.

I'm about to go to sleep.

Oh, Jesus!

Oh, sorry.

That scared me.

Hold on,

take your sweatshirt off.

Are you recording this?

- Yes.

- I really don't want to.

Don't want to what?

Come on, just take-

hold on.

Take your sweatshirt off.

I have a really good idea.

Just for one second, I promise.

It's a super good idea.

Okay.

Ohh...!

- Please don't do this.

- What?

I just said I didn't want you

to record something like this.

What are you asking about?

I'm saying that... Stop!

- Come on.

- I don't want to film this.

Come on. Come on, make out

with me for a second.

I will make out with you

if you put the camera away.

- But I don't want to.

- Why?

'Cause it's so good.

You look so hot, babe.

Come on. Why are you

turning away?

'Cause I don't-

Don't put that back on.

Seriously?

I said I would do it if you

would just turn the camera off.

Well... That's boring,

with your sweatshirt on.

Will you take your pants off?

No.

Come on! Gimme-

gimme something.

Give me one victory.

Ohh, you're so- oh,

God, you're so sexy!

Stop!

What are you doing? You

can't even enjoy this!

You're holding a camera!

Shhh...!

- You're being too loud!

- I'm not being too loud.

Yes, you are!

You disturbed the neighbors!

No, you disturbed

the neighbors.

Come on, go answer it.

Well, I'm not going

to answer it.

- You go answer it.

- I don't want to. I'm scared!

Are you-?

Go answer it!

It's a girl.

Sam?

Sam?

What?

Will you come out here

and tell me what happened?

Huh?

Will you come out here

and tell me what happened?

What happened just now?

Um... well, somebody

knocked on our door

and I answered it,

and it was a girl-

well, I don't know.

She was like, young, but not-

not, like, a girl girl,

like, a college-age girl.

And...

She asked if we could

give her a ride...

- Tomorrow.

- Where?

I don't know. It

didn't get that far.

It was, like, really creepy.

That's so weird.

I know. It is

really weird.

My only guess is that she must

be just going door to door

and asking everybody,

but why wouldn't you,

like, wait for people to be

getting into their cars tomorrow

to ask for a ride?

It's, like, really...

- Maybe it's an emergency.

- It didn't seem like an emergency.

And also, she's,

like, not-

she wasn't physically

intimidating,

but I got instantly...

Nervous.

There's something

really scary about her,

even though I wasn't, like,

afraid she was gonna hurt me,

but she was just, like, weird.

She's gone.

What?

She's gone.

She's not there anymore.

That's good, right?

Yeah. Do you think we should

still call the police, though?

...no.

Why not?

I don't know.

I wouldn't really

know what to say...

- About it.

- Oh.

And also, I just

don't feel like it.

Haven't you noticed

there's, like,

way more hitchhikers here

than you've ever seen?

Yeah.

And also I think this is, like,

a part of the country

that has drug problems-

- like, meth problems.

- Mm-hmm.

So I feel like I would

rather just let it...

- Go.

- Okay.

And if she's still

there in the morning,

then maybe we can

think about...

Doing something about

it, but right now...

I'm happy to let it drop.

That's fine.

Do you want to sleep

over here with me?

Um, no. That's okay.

I'm fine.

All right.

- Good night.

- Good night.

I hope it doesn't rain.

Does it look like

it's gonna rain?

Yeah, it looks like

it's really gonna rain.

As far as

you can see, we've covered-

tents, trucks, trailers,

whatever you can think of,

for our fifth annual

rain dance festival.

Mini casinos, fortune tellers,

helicopter rides,

games, games...!

Did you take money

out of my wallet?

No.

Yeah, you did.
