All We Had Page #2

Synopsis: Thirteen-year-old Ruthie Carmichael and her mother, Rita teeter on the edge of poverty, despite Rita working multiple jobs. When their landlord kicks them out, Rita uses her looks to instantly reel in a boyfriend, who takes them in. Before long, Ruthie convinces her mother to leave and they head East in search of a better life. When money runs out and their car breaks down, they find themselves stranded in a small town called Fat River where their luck finally takes a turn. Rita lands a steady job waitressing at the local diner. With enough money to pay their bills, they rent a house and Fat River becomes the first place they call home. Peter Pam, a transgender waitress, becomes Ruthie's closest friend. Arlene, the no-nonsense head waitress, takes Rita under her wing. The townspeople become Ruthie and Rita's family. Into this quirky utopia comes smooth-talking mortgage broker Vick Ward, who entices Rita with a subprime loan. Almost as soon as Rita buys a house their fortunes change. Fa

Thank you for inquiring

about between my legs.

I'm sure if you got to know me,

you'd see

that it's what's between my ears

that's more interesting.

Can I have a cup of coffee?

Server:
Coming right up.

So, where are you-all headed?

Boston.

Server:
Oh, Boston!

I've never been there, but

that's not far from New York.

I've always wanted

to move to New York.

Start a career on the stage.

Of course, I'd love to see

"grey gardens" live just once.

With the great

Christine ebersole.

You know Christine ebersole.

She came in here once.

I met her.

Told her I loved her.

She said...

"Thank you."

I said, "no problem."

So, what can I get you two?

Um...

I want the French toast special.

Oh, with fruit.

Mother:
I'll have

the pancakes and eggs.

Oh, and home fries.

-Oh, what about bacon?

-Oh, yeah.

Bacon and two orders

of sausage.

And... oh.

How about two of those muffins?

Server:
You got it.

Mother:
Can you keep

a straight face?

-Ruthie:
You can't do it.

-Mother:
You do it.

No, you gotta go like this.

Proud members

of the clean plate club.

I understand you two ladies

enjoyed our blueberry muffins.

Mother:
They have

a lot of blueberries.

Well, then they're

appropriately named, I think.

Pam, wrap up a couple

of blueberry muffins

for these ladies

to take with them, okay?

On the house, of course.

Thank you.

Of course.

Server:
Here. Take your time

with this, no rush.

Mother, whispering:

Don't look so guilty.

Ruthie, whispering:

I'm trying not to.

Let me tell you something,

ruthie.

They don't give two shits

about you.

You don't have to be mean.

They have jobs.

And houses.

They'll survive

no matter what we do.

So get your sh*t together.

The door's unlocked.

I'll be out in a minute.

Hey.

-Mother:
Did they see us?

-Ruthie:
No.

Oh!

Sh*t!

Ruthie:
Where are you going?

Go on.

Come on, mom, we have

to get out of here!

Mother:
It's not going, ruthie!

It's not mov-- sh*t!

Ruthie:
Hurry!

Mom, you can't just go backwards

the whole time!

Mom, what are you doing?

Pull over!

Mom, you have to stop.

Mother:
Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!

It's not going, ruthie.

- Mom, please, don't freak out!

Mom, stop!

Chill out, please!

Mother:
Oh, my god.

Sh*t, sh*t...

It's okay.

Mom, it's okay.

What are you doing?

Gotta go back to the diner.

-That diner?

-Mm-hmm.

Why?

Ouch!

Our car broke down

outside of a diner

right after we ripped them off.

If that isn't the lord's

work working,

I don't know what is.

Grab my purse.

Here.

So, we'll just go in

and tell 'em...

Yeah.

Confess. Come on.

Oh, great.

I have the cops on the phone

right now.

I'm sorry.

Put yourself in my shoes.

What would you expect me
