but you're not.

You're weak.

I got him.

Hey. Were you coming for me

or for her?

Were you coming

for me or for her?

Ah.

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Frame's too small

Too pretty for this picture

Gonna take it's toll

When's it gonna

catch up to you

Leave the bar

And burn the bridge that

brought you to the alcohol

Days seem hazy

I, uh...

I just...

- Yep.

- Got no voice

You know it's calling on you

Got no choice

F***.

I had an accident on my leg.

Hey, is somebody out there?

Hey!

I'm in the trunk!

Let me out!

Is that you?

Help!

Let me out!

I'm dying!

Let me out!

Let me out, you son of a b*tch.

Help!

Let me out of here!

Not until I have a gun.

Sh*t, I can get you a gun.

Hey!

Hey!

I got to get out of here!

I'm thirsty!

My leg's broken!

- Mrs. Gaffney, hi.

- Yes?

I was looking for Ben.

Is he still in town?

No, he moved a while ago.

It's Dwight, from Orange High.

I just...

Oh.

I'm so sorry, I...

Mr. Gaffney's upstairs

asleep and...

I didn't recognize you, Dwight.

Okay, this is where he works.

This is where he lives.

He moved when he got back

from Japan.

He was deployed.

You might need a map,

'cause it's out of the way

off of...

I have a map, thank you.

So are you in a rush?

Sort of.

Yes, ma'am.

Otherwise I'd offer you

some tea.

I'd love some tea.

Good.

Ben works late, anyway.

They play

God-awful music there.

Excuse me.

I was looking for

a band member...

What?

I was looking for a band

member named Ben.

Ben Gaffney.

And I think he was supposed...

- You mean Benny?

- Yes.

Yeah, he's here.

He works the bar.

He's not in the band.

That's fine.

Do you know what time

he goes home?

Ben.

Hey, Ben.

Ben.

Ben!

It's Dwight...

Evans.

Oh.

Wow, man.

You look square.

I've been away.

Yeah, man.

No sh*t.

Just peaced the f*** out, huh?

Same year El Duce

got hit by a train.

Yo, put the first 200 miles

on this thing

stapling up

your missing posters.

I never thought of that.

So are we getting beers or...

Look, I need to warn you

that I'm here,

that I came to you

because I need a favor,

and it's a big one.

Sure.

What do you need?

You remember James Henry's

brother's party

with the stripper at his shop?

Haven't really thought back

that far in a while.

Where is it?

I got this Polaroid of you

and me with the stripper.

It's hilarious.

We look terrified.

Ben, I need to hurry.

Right.

You hunt?

No.

Target shooting mostly.

Mountain bike...

What do you need this for?

- I'd rather not...

- Oh, no, no.

Hey, no, man.

The less I know, the better.

What do you need out of the gun?

At range?

At close quarters?

Close up or far away?

Oh, close up, probably.

I don't know.
