Far from Home

For you? Fifty bucks.

Fifty bucks?

Out of the question.

Fifty bucks for this?

Come on, it's not that bad.

Just for a night.

This is how real writers live.

In overpriced campers?

God, it's hot in here.

Could I go swimming?

Okay, but go straight there...

and then I come straight back.

And stay away from that boy.

You mean all boys, don't you?

You know which one

I'm talking about.

Dad, I'm not

12 years old anymore.

I know you're not...

That's the problem.

Now, keep your shirt on

till you get to the pool.

Have fun.

Ooh!

Hi.

Who are you?

Pinky.

What's your name?

Joleen.

Joleen? That sounds

kind of funny.

Look who's talkin', pinky.

You hear that?

What?

I hear your mother calling.

Hi.

I'm Jimmy.

Hi, I'm...

I know.

I saw you watching them.

I don't know

what you're talking about.

Do you know

what they were doing?

Joleen!

Coming.

I have to go.

Jeez, it's beautiful.

You'd think people would be

out here enjoying it..

During prime time?

Are you joking?

Start dinner, okay?

I'll be right back.

Hello?

Charlie Cox here,

temporary neighbor.

What is it?

Me and my daughter are stranded

here in your lovely town,

and we're wondering

if you had any gas to sell?

No. Beat it.

Thanks. Enjoy.

Don't give me that crap again!

But it's true!

What do you mean

you got no money?

Where's your mom?

At her sister's.

Listen, you're

late with the rent

a week and two days!

You got that?

What are you lookin' at?

You better cough up that cash...

I'm gonna kick your butts

outta here!

I ain't shit'n ya.

Hello?

F*ck off!

Hello? Charlie Cox here, temporary

neighbor and concerned parent.

Single parent...

former angry young man...

and poet laureate of the

interstate highway system.

And you're looking for

a little woman

to start a new life with?
