I'm willing to listen.

I'm just trying to... You know,

it's like... What about love?

What about it?

Well, what if you fell in love

with something?

Wouldn't that make

a difference?

Yeah.

In fact, I got somebody now.

His name's Waldo. Big, cute black guy.

I met him on the cellblock.

Really?

Yeah, sure.

No, just some chick I met.

Tell me about her.

No.

Why not?

Because what's mine is mine.

And if I share it with you,

then it becomes less mine.

You understand?

Her name's Heather.

She's very beautiful.

So you got it out of me.

You're such a character, King.

F*** that.

Look, can I get my 10 bucks

and get the hell out of here, please?

Sure.

I think it was a really

good session today.

Good.

INTERVIEWER:

You okay?

I'm fine.

You got a cigarette?

INTERVIEWER:
Um, yeah.

Thanks.

Are you sure you're okay?

It's been a long time.

Look, I know you just turned 18.

I don't know your history...

but maybe you wanna think

about giving home a try.

My home's here.

Okay.

He's ready.

(BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD'S

"FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH" PLAYING)

So, what's up?

You always been

such a pain in the ass?

Yeah.

Excuse me, you got

a dime? Nickel?

Hey, how was it?

Suck any c*cks?

Just your dad's.

Excuse me, ma'am. Could you spare some

change for me and my little brother?

INTERVIEWER:

If you could put out one thing,

put one thing out there about

King's philosophy, what would it be?

KING:
If you keep everything

simple, you'll do okay.

You just go where the day takes you.
