in the back seat of your car!

- Jena.

- Yeah?

Would you ever consider going out

with somebody that had money?

I don't think it makes

a difference. I mean...

It's material.

Simon! Simon!

What would you do if your father

came home a rich man?

- Kiss his ass.

- See?

- See what?

- What Simon just said.

What...

What are you gettin' at?

Are you goin' out with a rich guy?

- I gotta go.

- Hey, you didn't answer my question.

- No.

- Good.

Simon, it's been stimulating.

- How long have I been coming here?

- I dunno. A couple of years.

- OK, so we're buddies, we're close.

- Yeah. Very pally.

OK! So how many times

have you let me in?

- I never let you in. You know that.

- You see what I'm sayin'?

- I dunno. What are you sayin'?

- My girlfriend is in there and I'm here...

Well, she's a girl and she's my friend,

so she's a girl friend.

But she's in there and I'm out here!

You're a sensitive, sexually potent guy.

- You gotta know how that hurts!

- Let me ask you a question, seriously.

Why does she come here,

knowing I don't let you in?

- Think about it.

- I don't know.

Anyway, my advice to you is...

dump her, lose her.

You don't need that.

You see what I'm sayin'?

You see the point I'm tryin' to make?

Love's a b*tch, Duck. Love's a b*tch.

- Ain't it the truth?

- It's the truth.

- High five.

- All right!

Wanna try a cigarette?

Let me ask you a personal question.

If you worship the Duck, why not

hang out somewhere he could get in?

Nice Dice Man! Say hello to the wife

and kids. You know what I'm sayin'?

He's dyslexic. He gets everything

backwards. He meant to say...

- It's OK, Duckie.

- OK. You're sure?

I could clean up this parking lot

with his butt.

- No, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

- OK.

- Were you here long?

- No, no. Three, four hours.

You have a good time?

- Good. That's good. What now?

- Bed.

Yours or mine?

- Ours?

- Nice try.

OK. Can you at least

give me a ride home?

Yeah. Get in.

Can I put my head in your lap?

Can I rest my head

on your shoulder and let you steer?

- Get in, Duckie.

- OK.

These houses are amazing, Duck.

The first million I make,

I'll buy you one. I hate this song.

- They're so beautiful.

- You want beauty, look in the mirror.

This whole tape is horrible.

It must be, like, a hormone thing.

Every song is making me sick.

I mean, why can't I find

a decent song here?

- That was my favourite.

- Are you deaf?

The house!

Yeah. That's a nice little crib.

I wonder what it's like inside.

Well, what difference does it make?

You know what the really sad thing is?

I bet the people that live there don't

think it's half as pretty as I do.
