Are you hungry?

We can stop and get a ruby.

You ever had a ruby?

No.

You should.

They say it's the

celebrity of sandwiches.

You can be a celebrity.

I think we

can both agree

you cannot be the

celebrity of sandwiches.

You mind not looking over

here for a little while?

That don't match.

What?

Well, it don't match

unless you're a hooker.

Oh, so now

I'm a hooker?

Well, darn you're

too ripe is all.

Excuse me?

I said you're too ripe

and your mouth is too big.

Well, like it's

to big in general

or like I talk too much?

Well, both.

Yeah, well, what do

you know anyways?

Gimp.

Now, you

listen to me.

If you ever, ever

call me that again,

I will throw you straight

through this windshield

and then I will run

you over after that.

Understood?

Go on, say it.

Say it.

Say the word.

Let me out.

The door's right there.

Feel free to use it.

Gimp.

Gimp!

Jesus, Lady!

Lord!

You almost pissed

on my head.

Holy f***er, kid.

You know you can give

someone a heart attack

yelping out from

a ditch like that.

Wait. How do you pee

standing up like that?

I mean, don't you have

to squat a little?

I always gotta

squat a little.

Nah, not if

you're smart.

You just find where

the hill goes down,

move your feet out

the way and shoot.

So you gonna tell me what

you're doing out here or what?

We got in a fight.

Oh, boyfriend.

Nah, no, no, just some guy

who fell in love with me.

That so?

Yeah. Yeah, and then he

freaked out on me.

So I looked him straight in the

eye and I said, "Let me out."

Yeah, you know,

he tried to make me stay.

He begged me, actually.

But no. No, ma'am.

I just left him there

in the middle of nowhere.

Well, kid, good luck.

Stay straight.

See you around.

No, no, no.

Wait, wait, wait.

Listen, lady.

What do you want?

I could really use

a ride right now.

That guy would kill me.

Where are you headed?

Las Vegas.

Well, I ain't.

If you think I'm

giving any handouts,

you've got

another thing coming.

Come on,

get in the car.

No, no, no, no, no.

Yeah, yeah, no handouts.

I got plenty of money.

No, no, no. That's the

last thing I worry about.

Look, kid, you can't

just go around

telling people

stuff like that.

Like what?

Like about money,

and having plenty of it.

That just marks

you right there.

You hear me?

Yeah.

Good, I'm not looking

for an amateur.

What's your name, kid?

Luli.

Luli?

Oh, what kind

of a name is that?

Poor thing.

Well, I'll tell you what

kind of a name it is.

It's a strange name.

And I'd be willing to bet

you're a strange kid, huh?

Well, what's your name?

Glenda.

That's a name, huh?

I know it's

real pretty.

I always liked it.
