Well, you can repay me

by buying me the first

two rounds. Hey, sunshine.

I'll meet you...

Michelle?

I can barely hear you.

Is it my phone? I just

want to talk to you.

I'll meet you at Illusions,

later on. Is that cool?

How you doing?

Are you okay?

You know,

the one on Sixth Street...

Hello?

Are you all right?

It's all right, sweetie,

I just want to talk to you.

Michelle? I just want to

talk to you, that's it.

It's all right.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid, it's okay. I

just want to talk to you. Okay?

Joanna, you there?

Yeah.

Did you hear that?

Hear what?

The voice that cut in.

Girl, have you started

without me?

Pace yourself,

I will be there soon.

Get ready for

a night out. Okay?

Yeah, I'll meet you there.

Hey, can I get a tequila?

You okay?

I've had this awful headache all day.

I don't feel well.

Sunshine.

How you doing there, sunshine?

Sunshine, how you doing?

I just want to talk to you.

Jo, are you in here?

Jo! Can you hear me?

Honey, are you okay?

Jesus Christ!

Twenty-five years old.

You live out of hotels.

You work at a job you're good at,

not because you like it,

but because you're so restless

you can't sit still for more

than two seconds straight.

Tonight you bottomed out.

And I'm glad that I was there.

But what happens

next time if I'm not?

Jo, these things you saw tonight.

What were they?

There was a bar.

It didn't have a name.

It was just red.

Some place we've been?

No.

You must know it from somewhere.

La Salle.

Can I help you?

Hi, Dad.

Joanna?

Well, come on inside, honey.

I can't stay too long.

No, it's good to see you.

Here, come on in

and sit down. Have a seat.

You still with Haug-Miller?

Heard you were doing

pretty good over there.

Yeah.

Just got a promotion actually.

Did you?

Based out of Wichita?

Saint Louis.

Oh.

But I'm usually on the road.

Are you all right, Joanna?

Yeah.

You sure?

Honestly, I'm a little tired.

I had a long drive.

Well, you're welcome to

spend the night if you want.

You know that your bedroom's

just the same as it was.

There was a man.

Well, it sure is good

to see you again, honey.

Here you go.

Nothing's changed, huh?

Did you ever even try

to meet someone else?

I'm an old man, lots of bad habits.

Who's going to tolerate me anymore?

Besides, when you lose someone

that's special,

it's like a piece of you is

gone. You can't replace that.

But we'll find each other again.

What happened in La Salle, Dad?

La Salle?

Why would you ask me that?

I just...

Because I need to know.

Yeah, when you were 11 years old...

You don't remember?

You became violent.

You started seeing things.

You started to hurt yourself.
