WOMAN: (ON RADIO) Now, I'm gonna say something to you
that I hear nearly every day.
"I need a change."
You ever notice how the people that say it always stay the same?
That's because change finds you.
- MAN: Oh, oh... - WOMAN: No.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
No! Fuck!
No fucking way!
Damn it!
Fuck!
(WIND BLOWS)
WOMAN: Erm... Yeah, it's Earlene. I hate to ask this.
I know it's really awkward, but...
can you lend me some cash?
Nina, hey. I need to borrow some money.
Nothing. I'll pay you back.
Tom, yeah!
I know, I know. It's been a long time.
(SIGHS)
No problem. Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.

So what does that make you?
- What's your name? - Earlene.
- What's yours? - I'm Bruno.
EARLENE: Bruno? That's kinda butch for a boy.
It's what my folks wanted.
- Where are you from? - Australia.
- Wow. Are you on vacation? - No. Are you?
Hmm.
Yeah, not exactly. You know, it's kind of more like a break.
So, Bruno...
Do you ever think that...
- Ah, fuck it. Never mind. - Go on.
Do you ever think...
that tomorrow can be so fucking different from today?
I think I only live the tomorrows.
Helps you get past the yesterdays.

I like you.
I think.

- EARLENE: They didn't ID you? - BRUNO: Nope.
EARLENE: This fucking country.
BRUNO: I think I look older than I am.
EARLENE: You're a baby.
- BRUNO: Where are you going? - EARLENE: Back to my hotel.
- BRUNO: Let me walk you back. - EARLENE: Let go of me.
BRUNO: I'm not letting you walk home alone like this.
EARLENE: Right. My knight in shining armour.
Why don't you go conquer the other women like the rest of the guys?
- BRUNO: I'm not like other guys. - EARLENE: Get your hands off me.
Fuck.
I'm lost.
Come on, drunkie!
Is this your art?
Er, yeah. Although I've kinda moved away from that style.
Yeah. It gives you headaches.
To new friends.
Nice try.
("AIRPLANES" BY UTAH CAROL)
Are all these yours, cowboy? (LAUGHS)
I mean, don't sweat it. It's OK if you live with your mom.
I'm sorry. I get a little mouthy when I'm drunk.
You're a good kid.
What's this?
BRUNO: What's it look like?
- They're different parts. - Parts of what?
Parts of a whole.
- What's this? - Oh, that's just a dream I had.
I've always wanted to go to Paris.
It's on the other side of the world, though, so...
There's an Eiffel Tower about a six-hour drive from here.
- Really? - Yeah.
It's a replica. It's what Americans do best.
Wow. I would love that.
Stay here tonight.
WOMAN: (ON RADIO) That was Utah Carol with "Airplanes".
(RETCHING)
(CAR APPROACHES)
Shit!
We have to go! We have to go right now!
Come on! Come on!
- Jesus. - Come on!
(BRUNO LAUGHS)
I'm calling the police! They're gonna catch you!
EARLENE: You gonna tell me what the hell just happened back there?
I was couch surfing. On the sly.
Jesus. You've got a lot of explaining to do.
- I don't have to tell you anything. - Er, yeah, you do.
I just unknowingly committed a crime back there!
- I'm an accomplice to a criminal. - I'll pay them back.
You're gonna pay them back... Great.
- (LAUGHS) - It's not funny.
You are gonna be a bad influence.
So, how do you do it?
Well, you go on vacation rentals sites.
You say you want someone's place for a few days, you know, a week, a month.
Tag them along and delay the deposit. Then you pull out.
They won't cancel their trip, so you stay there while they're gone.
- And you break in? - Yeah.
- That's pretty smart. - It is. I don't act alone, though.
How many of you are there?
There's too many at the moment. People are catching on.
Well, you don't know that. Maybe she just had a shitty vacation.
What's going on? Where are you going?
BRUNO: To do a deal.
- Are you on drugs? - What are you, my mum or something?
Listen. I think you're really cool.
I'll see you around.
MAN: (ON RADIO) It's LA Talk Radio. We say what we want.
WOMAN: ON RADIO) It's payday Friday, dudes and dudettes.
Who's up for tearing a trail down Hollywood Boulevard
and etching their names on one of those stars?
Watch out for mine, though.
You'll have to wipe off the dog poo to get a look at it.
In the meantime, this is Matt Van Schie, "Airboy".
WOMAN: You're not usually like this.
What I'm saying is if you don't want to do it...
BRUNO: I'm fine.
- BRUNO: I want to do it, Kris. - WOMAN: Ta.
Kris-ta.
How many times do I have to tell you that?
Whatever. Just follow my lead, OK?
Don't.
What is it?
We need to open up. They're waiting.
WOMAN: Hey.
Hey, D. So, what's up? What's going on?
Same as last time. It's more if... you know.
Yeah, I know. But this time, we're calling the shots.
He's not... Is he?
Good luck.
Hello, Krista.
- This is Bruno. - Hello, Bruno.
Follow me.
Why don't you just...? You here.
There!
Now I can get a good look at you.
Kris...
What are you?
PAIS. Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome.
"Syndrome."
I hate that word. "Syndrome."
- Were you aware of this? - Yeah.
MAN: But you're not quite sure what we do here, are you?
Chromosomes. The building blocks of us. And you.
I study people like yourselves and gather information
for scientists, paediatricians, psychologists, psychiatrists.
But mostly for parents. The people who created you.
They want to make the right decisions for their kids.
We help them make those decisions.
Take off your clothes.
Yes? How may I help you?
I'm looking for a guy with dark hair. Tall, dark skin, erm...
I'm sorry. We're not authorised to give any information about our clients.
Yeah, I know. I'm a concerned relative. Can you tell me where he is?
No. All our patients sign confidentiality agreements.
They're all over 18. We're not...
You can't go back there! I am calling the authorities!
(CAMERA CLICKS)
What the...?
Jesus! Come on!
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Someone who gives more than half a shit about you.
Now are you coming or not?
You just cost me a shit ton of money!
For what? Do you have any idea what that man was doing up there?
Did you ask any questions?
- Did you sign on a dotted line? - No!
So what made you think there was anything legit about that place?
When people take photographs, it's forever. There are ramifications.
If you needed money, you could have just asked me.
- Can I have some money? - That's not the point.
- Why not? - Because I don't have any! God, Jesus!
Just get in the car.
(SIGHS) Do you know what?
It's none of my fucking business.
Hey.
You got any more tricks lined up?
WOMAN: I was sucked in.
I'll need you to forward me all contact you had with the person.
Did you guys ever speak on the phone?
Here's the note they left.
- (PHONE RINGS) - Oh, sorry.
OFFICER 2: I don't think they'll come back.
Look. It's like a child wrote it.
Someone who knew they were doing something bad, but had no hard feelings.
This is LA, Cookie. Get with the programme.
It's signed with a kiss.
Then they're crazy, like all the other dopes in this town.
Trust me. I know.
(DOOR CREAKS)
Rise and shine, freeloaders!
We weren't stealing anything. We were occupying.
Well, now you get to occupy a nice room at the LAPD Continental.
My dad's a lawyer. Ow!
COOKIE: Shut up.
(BUZZING)
OFFICER 1: What am I not getting here?
Jeez, what's his problem? Is it that time of the month?
There aren't enough tissues for those issues.
- Word, girl. - I know.
- BRUNO: What did you do to my hair? - I smartened it up.
BRUNO: Yeah, thanks.
How did we get in?
(BOTH LAUGH)
What have I created?
- Is this for me? - Yeah. Yeah.
Wow.
What do you say about taking a trip together? Just you and me.
Why?
Because I figure you could use a vacation. I could too.
I could take you to see the Eiffel Tower.
I mean, it's not Paris, but it's as close as you'll get to the real thing.
What's wrong with you?
Forget it.
There's nothing wrong with me.
I'm just a bit mixed up, that's all.
It's a great place. There's tons of room.
Yeah. Bring the gang. Bye.
EARLENE: Sharing the love?
We've never really belonged, so we're more inclined to share.
EARLENE: Hop in.
WOMAN: (ON RADIO) It's nothing but clear skies and blazing heat today, folks.
Just like any other day.
But is it just me or is there something in the air?
Oops. Guess it's just me.
EARLENE: Half a mile for a pee?
I'm not a cougar yet, you know.
MAN: (ON RADIO) LA Talk Radio. We say what we want.
WOMAN: (ON RADIO) You ever noticed how when you drink milk,
you can get one of those moustaches? Yeah... Yeah. (LAUGHS)
BRUNO: This woman's nuts.
She also happens to have great taste in music.
And besides, I can relate.
- Hand me a beer, will you? - You're driving.
OK, make it a light.
- Alcohol gives you memory loss. - That it does.
You should try it sometime.
EARLENE: Are you gonna start being nice to me now?
Like the Bruno I first met, huh?
I'm sorry.
So what was that doctor gonna do back there?
He's not really a doctor. He's more like a researcher.
He takes pictures of people who are different and sells them on to fixers.
What do they fix?
Problems. Or rather, society's problems.
I don't think you have to worry about that. I mean, you look good.
You do. You look nice and healthy
and robust.
(LAUGHS)
You know, you remind me of when I was a kid.
Yeah, you do.
Man, I was just trying to figure out who the fuck I was
and what the hell I was all about.
Nobody ever says that they want to raise a teenager.
I mean, it's always about the baby.
You know, the baby, the baby, this little bundle of joy.
Nobody ever talks about raising a teenager.
I mean, no wonder all these fucking kids are so lost, you know?
They were never meant to be.
Yeah, well, people change.
Stop eating that.
Jesus! Did anybody ever teach you about nutrition? God!
140 calories. Zero fat, trans fat...
Yeah, and vitamins? Minus numbers don't count.
All manmade shit is bad.
And I think I'm gonna go find a bathroom.
I'll be right back.
(SIGHS)
Earlene?
(CHURCH ORGAN PLAYS)
EARLENE: Ah!
- You found me. - I had a feeling.
You know, there were toilets back at the gas station.
Yeah. Yeah.
But they're not as clean as the holy ones.
(LAUGHS)
They don't come with the freebies, either.
Whoa! Jesus is such a giver.
Yeah. Good girls go to heaven. Bad girls rule the world.
Here.
- No! - Yeah.
(LAUGHS)
- Did you get these from back there? - Yeah.
My God! It's totally a sign.
The Eiffel Tower!
What makes it so special, anyway?
It's one of a kind.
The artists of Paris petitioned against it.
They thought it was ugly and that it shouldn't be built.
They were afraid of something different.
But then over time, they grew to like it.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on.
I'm gonna hang on to these. OK?
I'm gonna wear them for the perfect moment. Trust me.
- OK? - OK.
- Yeah? - OK.
OK.
So, are we getting out of here or what?
- EARLENE: OK. But twin beds. - BRUNO: Sure.
Howdy.
- (BOTH LAUGH) - EARLENE: God!
Billy, you're interfering with the signal.
Fashion TV's gone blurry.
EARLENE: He was totally looking at you!
Please. He doesn't want my tired old snatch.
He's totally a queen. Bottoms up.
- You think? - Hmm. Yes, honey. Please.
- What, is he your type? - What's a type?
I'm gonna get some smokes.
- I'll be right back. - Cool.
Billy! Bring the Kardashians back.
My knight in shining armour. Oh!
You guys don't have any T-booster, do you?
- It's for testosterone. - MAN: No. Sorry, ma'am.
- You don't have anything like that? - No.
Fuck.
Shit!
(DOOR CLOSES)
(WHISPERS) Jesus Christ!
Bruno, why did you lock the door?
What, you don't trust me, huh? Huh?
Why did you lock the door?
I'm just gonna come right out and say it.
And it doesn't matter, OK?
I didn't make a point of it earlier because I wanted you to know that...
I'm fine with it.
I'm fine with you being... whatever it is you wanna be.
I let go of a lot of bad things in my life.
Turns out they were the only things keeping me company.
I was alone for a really long time.
Then you came along and it's like I really know who I am.
I just never knew what it was people wanted me to be.
EARLENE: Open the door.
You don't have to prove anything to me.
WOMAN: (ON RADIO) Pop quiz, frog lovers!

How tall is the Eiffel Tower?
1063 feet.

BILLY: Oh, oops!
Sorry, bud. I was in my own little world.
I'd give you something to dry yourself with, but...
As you can see...
You wouldn't mind if I...? Thanks.
It's good. It's good for your teeth.
There's no calcium.
Good for your jaw, then. Mastication.
Billy! We are not staying here.
They don't have wi-ﬁ and the coffee's not organic.
BRUNO: Hey.
EARLENE: We gotta go. I packed your stuff.
What is it?
My boyfriend's car.
Come on.
EARLENE: We need your help.
Can we get a ride?
- Now? - Like right now.
Follow me.
- You ladies holding tight? - Yeah. Why?
Cos this jeep ain't mine.
Billy!
You stay on board,
- you're officially accomplices. - Billy! This is my dad's car!
(SCREAMS)
BRUNO: Go!
You bitch! Billy! Come back here!
BILLY: Yee-ha!
Send your dad my love!
Shouldn't we be sticking to the highway?
Not when you got heat up your ass. Carjack virgins, huh?
Alright, you know what?
We're usually a little bit more careful when it comes to hitching with dudes.
We're a dangerous breed. You should be.
Don't worry yourselves. I'm a new species.
What's that?
The type that doesn't reproduce.
The world doesn't need more people like me.
- Why? - Because I steal.
Girls and guys. Hearts and cars. The former I break, the latter I take.
Great! We got Dean Moriarty here.
What's your problem? You all dried up?
You know what? Watch your fucking mouth.
You know, you remind me of that actress from that movie.
- Susan Sarandon? - That's the one.
- I've thought that too. - Susan Sarandon? She's fucking old!
When she was younger.
- That buddy movie. - The Banger Sisters?
- That's the one! - That's it.
Well, if that makes you Goldie Hawn, then I got the better end of the stick.
- EARLENE: No. - BILLY: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- EARLENE: No. Fuck! - BILLY: No, listen.
EARLENE: No. No, no! Fuck!
No fucking way! No fucking way!
We are in the middle of no... Shit!
Damn it.
Fuck!
- Prognosis? - Not good.
Isn't this great?
And here I was, thinking we were all on the same page.
- Going off road really worked out, huh? - Hey, you two are the ones on the run.
You fucking dick.
- What's her deal? - Period?
BILLY: So now, I'm just going on and on and on.
- No family, no ties, no regrets. - So you steal cars to keep moving?
I thought I found what I was looking for.
Turns out we'd fallen in love with an idea, not each other.
The problem was, I was a long way from home and I'd already said goodbye.
Here. Temperature's gonna drop pretty soon.
BILLY: Well, it's not Vegas.
- But it'll do. - It's beautiful.
Let's go!
WOMAN: (ON RADIO) It's getting late and the sun's gone down.
You've just clocked off from a hard day's work.
Hubby's home with a six-pack of beer watching "Wheel of Fortune",
but it's karaoke night down at the saloon.
What are you gonna do?
(SCOTTISH ACCENT) Down the brown!
(SCOTTISH ACCENT) You'd know all about that, wouldn't you? But I...
prefer to sink the pink.
Any hole's a goal.
MAN 1: Ever fucked a girl on her period?
MAN 2: Just cos I'm straight, doesn't mean I've poked the jam.
- Of course I fucking have. - Parted the red waves?
Aye. Damn right. Just put a towel down. It's all good.
- Guys. - Fuck's sake.
You guys, you guys, shut the fuck up, alright?
- There's a lady right here. - MAN 2: Are you on your period?
- BARMAID: Fairy talk. - MAN 1: We're speaking Scottish.
BARMAID: If a woman's bitchy, she's on her period.
MAN 1: There's a big difference. In Scotland, they deep-fry everything.
Put the peanut down or else your brains will be in that bowl.
- How did you get here? - Our truck broke down.
- Did you use a map? - No.
Give me that!
I am so sorry. She's been itching to use that toy.
Hey! You're lucky to be alive.
We're the only people out here within 100 miles.
- Where are we? - Nowhere.
- What kind of place is that? - Any place but somewhere, honey.
A place where nobody can find us.
- Unless it's by accident, of course. - Or by fate.
Fate, my ass.
- COOKIE: No signal? - No sleep?
Lucky me.
So, why are we here?
This property went up online as one of the vacation rentals.
Lo and behold, the tenant got screwed last minute,
so now we just gotta sit and wait.
- Who were you trying to call? - Just a friend.
Yeah. Right.
- What's it to you? - Nothing.
Just thought maybe you were trying to call your boyfriend.
If you're into guys, that's fine by me. Just a hunch is all.
You know, if you weren't right...
It wouldn't make any difference. I didn't mean it as a slur.
Well, Miss Know-it-All, you're right and you're wrong.
I was trying to call my ex.
Good for you.
So, are you into girls? Is that how you can tell?
Now, why would you think that? Is it cos I carry a gun?
- Cos I bust dudes' asses for a day job? - Women commit crimes too.
Is it cos I look in a rear-view mirror or a side-view mirror
more than a compact mirror?
Perish the thought. Don't make it out like it's such a bad thing.
- What? - Being attracted to the same sex.
Well, you're making it sound like it's a bad thing not to be!
OFFICER 1: I bet you're a church girl, huh?
Gospel.
I bet the only bang you get is from a tambourine.
Sorry. That was out of line.
I had a thing with a girl once.
She was Latina.
Her name was Carmen.
Didn't feel anything, though. No chemistry. That's how I knew.
And here I am, thinking the tough cookie had a chocolate chip on her shoulder.
- Isn't that supposed to be you? - Uh-uh. White chocolate.
COOKIE: That explains a lot.
Yeah, well. Sweet tooth.
So, after the stakeout, we still need to get four more tickets to fill our quota.
We can catch some jaywalkers while we're at it.

So, what's your deal, buddy?
It's like there's just something about you you're not telling us.
- Trust me, it takes one to know one. - You don't have to tell him anything.
It's fine.
I should get used to it. To explaining, I guess.
A few years ago I decided to get lost, so that when I found myself,
I'd know where and who I was.
I thought it was this rebellious act,
but I kind of learned that it didn't really change anything.
I can't escape the person who's inside of me,
and I'm kind of learning to love that person.
- We all want a drink, right? - EARLENE: Yeah.
BILLY: Sure.
My mother produced two eggs.
XY for a boy and XX for a girl.
Now, normally this would create twins.
But the eggs merged and a chimera was formed.
A boy was born with a uterus, an ovary and a fallopian tube.
A boy whose parents were fucking terrified.
A boy who never saw his sister, but can always feel her spirit.
Can't you just have them removed?
She's a part of who I am.
Well...
You're drinking for two, aren't you?

Dude, you should not ask that kind of question in this kind of dump.
(LAUGHS) Why? What, did you do something bad?
Did I do something bad?
Yeah, I suppose I did. I used to be a showgirl.
- Wow. - Yeah.
Sounds tough.
It sure wasn't easy, let me tell ya.
Especially with a little rugrat running around, you know?
The worst part was when he found out what I was doing.
Oh, God.
It was OK at first, but...
I never saw the sun.

instead of me hearing it from somebody I don't even know.
- I thought we were in this together. - BRUNO: Yeah. Well, I like it here.
What about Vegas, huh? And the Eiffel Tower?
What's gotten into you? Where did you get that?
From the last asshole who let me down.
We're runaways, Earlene. It's not about the destination.
Yeah, well, it still would have been nice to get there.
BRUNO: I think I've found what I'm looking for.
And what's that?
A family.
They're not your family, Bruno.
- Look, I know what you're thinking. - No, you don't!
I'm so sick of people fucking telling me what I'm thinking! What I'm feeling!
It's like I've got it wrong for so fucking long.
It's like I'm finally getting it right.
ENGLISH WOMAN: Oh, look, there's someone.
I say, cooee! Cooee!
Do you happen to know where we are? We're awfully lost.
Our sat nav sent us to this godforsaken place.
WOMAN 2: We're parched. Could you tell us where a pub is?
WOMAN 1: A gin and tonic should do the trick.
- Then we'll be on our way. - We don't take no euros.
- Neither do we. - Oh! Welcome!
My name is Jessie. Y'all go on inside. We'll be right with you, OK?
Y'all go on right up in there. (LAUGHS)
See? I told you it pays to be welcoming.
- Come on, lovey. - I'm liking the concept.
OK!
WOMAN: (ON RADIO) Now I don't know about you folks,
but I'm getting pretty damn tired of this heat.
The weatherman tells me there's a big depression heading up from Phoenix
that's carrying a lot of water, so be prepared to get wet,
and enjoy some home alone time with me, hostess with the mostess, Artie Duke,
providing some light for when it all gets dark.
("I CRY AT FILMS" BY BRIGHT LIGHT BRIGHT LIGHT)
There's somebody... I think somebody wants a drink.
The bar's covered. Trust me.
(JEAN LAUGHS)
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
Come in.
I couldn't help but notice the lovers' tiff back there.
We're not lovers.
You know, it's funny how you always leave with more.
You're always welcome to stay.
Hey. Some alone time will do you good.
And I can get you off the hooch.
I need the hooch.
No, you don't.
- I can't stay. - Where you gonna go? Home?
(SIGHS) I don't know.
I... I'll go somewhere.
Anywhere but nowhere.
Well... Send me a card.
- When's your birthday? - Middle of November.
Like my dad.
Hey.
You're not the chatty type, are you?
Not when it's expected of me.
A bit of a man of mystery, then. We get plenty of them coming through here.
Do you work 'em out?
Not usually, no.
Funny, how people try to figure each other out.
They don't always like what they find.
Do you... do you have a lighter?
Thanks.
JESSIE: Sheriff! The township needs...
And you were doing so well.
Earlene is leaving.
She reminds me of when we first got here. Should we stay?
Should we go?
I'm almost done in here. Is there anything else I can get you?
Make me look pretty tonight.
OK. Only if you wear my Christmas present.
Ooh.
Polyester makes me itch.
Oh, you ungrateful cow! You know how much this thing cost me?
A penny? A thousand?
- 700? - (JESSIE GRUNTS)
- I'm sorry. I'm just cranky today. - JESSIE: You're cranky every day.
- I remember when I wore this. - At the Bellagio in '97.
The Bellagio was a bowl of dust in '97. Check your facts.
Or was it at the Flamingo? Or was it the Golden Nugget?
It was the Debbie Reynolds.
Oh! The Debbie Reynolds! Look at us!
She still has that same hairdo.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
We were so young then.

MAN 1: Yeah, well, I guess I've been lucky.
BILLY: I've never been to Scotland.
I've never even left the USA.
You're a traveller. You should... You should visit.
Is that an invitation?
It could be one of the destinations.
Go to a lot of interesting places along the way.
- Where are you from, anyway? - Oklahoma.
That would be a good place to start.
You wouldn't like it.
- Tell me about this. - I got that done years ago.
It's... It's just a lighthouse. It's on fire.
I just like the fact that it's on fire.

need saving as well sometimes, you know?
Yeah.
(MAN 1 SIGHS)
It's not just going to be another son of one-night...
It's been really a long time.
Me too.
What's up?
I never was good at goodbyes.
- Please don't leave. - I have to go back.
Why?
OK. You really wanna know?
I'm pregnant.
- With who? - An asshole.
It's funny how you make the same mistakes your parents did, huh?
BRUNO: What are you going to do?
Keep it.
You've got your family. Now I've got mine.
I'll see you around.
("NEVER MESS WITH SUNDAY" BY YPPAH)
- LAPD! - Hands behind your back.
- Hands where I can see 'em. - Stay where you are.
OFFICER 1: Hey. Now are you gonna be like all the rest
or are you gonna cut us some slack?
(PHONE RINGS)
(VOICES OVER POLICE RADIO)
Listen, how would you like it
if someone moved into your home without you knowing?
I've never had a home. And that's why we do it.
Cos we've got nothing to lose. He taught us that.
Who?
Please don't hurt him. He's been hurt enough.
Bruno!
Where is he? Where's Bruno?
- We don't know. - I thought he was still here.
- Who saw him last? - Me. I saw him.
- He split. He said he was going home. - He doesn't have a home!
Honey, I know it's difficult, but sometimes people leave,
not because they want to hurt anyone, but because they have to.
- He didn't have to do anything. - JEAN: Dude, wait a second.
He just said he had some family crap he had to take care of.
Can I get a ride?
- Listen... - I'll come back.
ARTIE: (ON RADIO) OK, I've got a letter here from...
Well, let's just call her Amanda.
Now, when I read this, it made me think real hard.
It reads, "Dear Artie. I'm in such a low piece, I don't know what to do."
"And if I stick this through to the end,
well, it would all have been for him."
"The kids, the house, everything."
"I think I'm beginning to change my mind."
(KNOCKS LOUDLY)
MAN: Who is it?
Was it your kids that did this?
Erm, no. No, I'm just a concerned neighbour
from down the street. What happened?
Some crazy kids broke in and trashed the place.
No respect for other people's property.
Those of us that live in the real world have to pick up the pieces.
They've done it all over the city. There's a ringleader.
They've got him now. They'll set him straight.
I blame the parents.
Hey!
Sydney!
COOKIE: Is this the place?
Yeah. It's the place.
You got ties? Boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, people that care about you?
We need to see you in the flesh.
How about Tuesday? OK.

It's OK.
That's it.
I'm sorry.
