FREDA:
You’ve got money, right?
4 EXT. DOWNTOWN - STREET - NIGHT 4
Near some TENTS, CARDBOARD BOXES, and SHOPPING CARTS -
-- Kate smokes crack with FREDA and TWO OLDER MEN. They pass
around TWO PIPES.
LATER:
Freda is passed out on a SLEEPING BAG on the sidewalk.
Kate is animatedly telling a story to the two guys -- who’re
still smoking crack.
KATE:
(mile-a-minute fast)
...’cause I feel like I understand
what it’s like to be homeless, ya
know? I mean, if you didn’t know
me, if we hadn’t connected tonight,
you might think:
“There’s someupper-middle-class, NPR listening,
self-congratulatory, insulated,
lazy liberal b*tch. Probably never
had to worry about anything.” But
that’s not true at all! I grew up
poor, man. Single mother.
McDonald’s used to have one day a
week where they sold 29 cent
hamburgers, and another day where
they had 39 cent cheeseburgers. My
mom and me would go there and she’d
get twenty burgers -- that was the
limit, probably set up for folks
just like us -- and then she’d put
‘em in the freezer and we’d
microwave ‘em for dinner throughout
the week.

11.
I was kinda overweight until highschool, to be perfectly honest.
Eating used to be my thing. When Istarted drinking, though, I kindastopped eating so much.
(back on track)
But anyway, the point is: You andme, we’re not so different.
The two guys aren’t paying much attention to Kate. They’re
more concerned with their crack pipe.
