Tiny Well, I'm not getting an abortion.

Medical Counselor You might ...

Tiny No, I would not. I don't believe in them.

Medical Counselor Tell me about that. What's your feeling about

abortion?

Tiny It's like you're murdering somebody. Murd ... I can't pronounce

the word. But, it's like there's a little baby inside you and you're

just killing it. It's not fair to the baby. I mean it's not the baby's

fault.

Medical Counselor So, that would not be a choice for you?

Tiny No.

Near Pike Street, Tiny gets into the car of an old man.

Tiny (voice over)

I used to turn dates lots and lots of times. Just about every day I'd

be turning dates day and night, day and night. Then I got busted five

times. So, now I don't pull dates I don't know.

Rat and Jack in the abandoned hotel.

Rat (voice over)

When we'd get real low on money, I'd take Mike's .45, because I'd sold

my .38, and I'd go roll a queer.

Rat (smoking a joint) Tastes like Colombian to me.

Jack Ain't that bud that's been going around, is it?

Rat Ah, no way. You've got to buy that stuff in grams. I think it went

out.

Jack What did?

Rat Oh, I guess not. You know Alan and that guy he was running around

with? He had us walking around Mount Vernon for two days looking for

this queer that turned him onto all this procaine. We was gonna live in

his house for a day. And then when he went to bed we was gonna tie him

up and take all his money he had in his wall safe--all this procaine

and all this marijuana stuff he had. We walked around Mount Vernon for

two days looking for this guy. I finally told Alan and his friend, man,

I told him 'f*** off, man.' Me and Mike got on the freeway and

hitchhiked all the way up to Bellingham.

Jack That's when you had all of them f***in' keys and the cops were

asking you where you got them. Whatever happened to that Burlington

Northern key?

Rat My mom's got all my keys.

Tiny and Kim talk on Pike Street.

Kim My mom, before they went on vacation about four o'clock Friday, she

wakes me up and she goes 'We're leaving now.' And I go 'yeah, yeah.'

It's four o'clock in the morning. And she goes, 'I know that you're a

prostitute and I know what you've been doing and I know that you've got

money.' And I jumped up and said, 'Did you look in my purse?' And she

goes, 'No.' And I go 'Mom, I am not. just leave.' And she goes 'Fine.

Thanks alot. All week long I'm going to remember this. All week I'm

going to be thinking about how much you love me.' I don't care. She

doesn't care about me. She never did. She doesn't. Oh well.

Tiny My mom cares about me a lot.

Kim Where is she? Where does she live?
