Makes me feel like your mom.

- You're not old enough to be my mother.

- Good.

She's dead, anyway.

Sorry.

She's been dead a long time.

You don't sound like

you're from Oklahoma.

I'm from Beaver.

Well, we're all from beaver, ain't we?

- Pardon?

- Skip it.

It's up in the Panhandle.

My dad's a preacher up there.

- Yeah? What kind of church?

- Doesn't have a church.

Well, where does he meet his people?

He doesn't have any, really.

First day I moved in here, I meant to

take that piece of sh*t down, and...

I kind of got to where I like it.

There's stuff in it.

- "Stuff"?

- Hidden stuff.

You mean, like a...

What do you mean?

People and things,

if you really look at it.

You gotta look at it hard enough,

you'll see it.

That's weird.

Did you hear that?

No, I don't hear nothing.

Listen.

You're hearing things.

"Helskatoot."

- What is that? Is that...

- Goddamn cricket.

Can you tell where it's coming from?

- Sounds like it's...

- It's over here, right?

No.

If you find it, don't kill it. It's bad luck.

Why is that, do you think?

I don't know. Some smart-ass cricket

probably made it up.

- It's in the bathroom.

- Really?

Yeah. I bet it's...

- It's out here.

- Where?

I don't know. Up there.

It's the smoke alarm.

Battery's probably dead.

Can you get it?

- Nope.

- Well, kill the son of a b*tch.

Not bad luck to kill a smoke alarm.

I need something.

Here you go.

- Success.

- Success.

- You should get rid of that.

- How come?

They're dangerous.

They have Americium-241 in them.

- What's that?

- It's an element.

A radioactive element.

- No sh*t?

- More radioactive than plutonium.

Jesus. No wonder

I feel so lousy all the time.

Yep. Here.

- What are you doing?

- Oh, I'll just...

Okay, then. I should go.

Where do you live?

I'm kind of between addresses right now.

- Does that mean you don't got a place?

- No, I got a place to stay.

Where?

Nowhere. Just where I stay.

If you want, you could stay here tonight,

sleep on the couch.

I don't want to put you out.

Somebody sleeping on the couch

when I'm sleeping's not putting me out.

Okay. That'd be nice.

It's just a crappy sofa.

Nice of you.

What's the matter?

Tooth.

- I've got aspirin.

- I'm okay.

Do you mind if I sleep on the floor?

Suit yourself.

Thanks for making coffee.

You're welcome.

How do you stand that little shower?

I could barely get under it.

I ain't mad you didn't come down

to Stringtown to meet me when I got out,

but you might at least

been ready for me back here.

- It don't look like you knew I was here.

- I didn't.

- You didn't get my letter?

- No.

You look good. Have you lost weight?

- Not really.
