Sit down.

I don't have 20 bucks.

Who does?

Sit.

I'm Kim.

Maggie.

Wow, you have beautiful eyes.

Really?

Yeah, really.

So...

great van you've got there.

Yeah, I'm livin' out of it.

I'm doin' that "on the road" thing.

But...

I'm not in any rush.

You wanna go for coffee?

Okay, here we go.

Excuse me.

Try it.

Oh... my God.

That's not a kick,

that's a one-two punch.

That'll put hair on your chest.

You're good.

You can tell a lot about a person

from sketching them.

Problems with your mother,

issues about higher education.

Single.

That's uncanny.

I asked around.

And you...

have someone?

No.

Oh, hey...

sorry.

- It's my mother.

- Where?

No, not here...

My mother and brother

are coming for a visit on Friday.

Today is Thursday.

Hey, hey, Maggie...

what are you doing?

There's no kissing. No kissing here.

You wanna kiss, go someplace else.

F***, I got families comin' in here.

I saw you and that girl last week, Tony,

on the coffee bar.

Hey, I'm a man.

She was a woman. That's different.

What about hand holding?

Hand holding okay?

Ha-ha, that's funny.

Get out.

I am out.

Just go, okay?

Lips.

I'd ask you to come home with me,

but I haven't got one yet.

Well, you know...

- There's always my place.

- Oooh... nice.

Oh, my God,

hang on!

Kim:

A hundred and twenty-five bucks.

Great.

Maggie:
You're gonna leave

it with all your stuff?

Kim:

What choice do I have?

Maggie:

God, I've never been anywhere.

Kim:

Northern Ontario was... boring.

Maggie:
Straight from high school

to residence. My mom insisted.

Kim:

Oh, but the prairies...

they're great.

But hot. Very, very hot.

I hit all the folk festivals;

did like ten portraits a day.

Paul, honey...

speed limit.

- Erotic paintings?

- Yeah, first I put paint on the person.

- On the person?

- Uh-huh.

Where are we goin' again?

Just a minute,

let me look.

'Cause I wrote it down...

on a piece of paper.

Oh, you want a chocolate?

Hey, I got a plane to catch.

Don't forget

to water the plants.

See ya.

Wow.

This is great.

- You like it?

- Yeah...

Very cool.

I don't know. I don't think my mom's

gonna like it very much.

Oh, I gotta sit down.

What are you doing?

Better Homes and D*ldos.

My mom is coming.

- I'll take them down tomorrow.

- Um-hm. You better.

Maggie...?

Oh, Jesus, turn it off.

Open up, its your bro.

It's Paul.

Paul, do you see anyone?

Yeah, Ma,

this is the place.

I don't think she's here.

Let's go get something to eat.

Margaret...?

Your mother?

Why would anybody be living here?

Are you sure this is the right spot?

I don't do family reunions so well.

I'll go out the back door.

No...

Well, then,

what are you gonna tell your mother?
