Tiny She went to Eastern Washington, I think, for the weekend.

Kim That isn't even my real mom. I was adopted. I don't even know who

my real parents are. I don't know if they're dead or alive. I'm going

to find out though. When I'm eighteen I'm going through the courts to

find out. I don't know. Sometimes it seems like a waste of time. If

they didn't care enough to keep me, why should I care enough to find

out who they are?

Tiny Well, they could be rich right now. You know what I'm saying,

really rich. Or they could be bums.

Tiny on the street looking for a date.

Tiny (voice over)

My real dad I've never known. He could be the guy that's really rich,

driving a Mercedes. Or he could be one of these bums on the street. I

don't know. I really want to meet him. He could be one of these dates

rolling around. I could have dated him for all I know.

Dewayne and Rat talk in an alley off Pike Street.

Rat And your mom is where?

Dewayne I don't know, San Diego somewhere. And my dad's in jail.

Rat That sucks.

Dewayne Life's a b*tch, ain't it?

Rat Are you originally from Seattle?

Dewayne Nope. Port Orchard. Well, Washington, yeah. Been in New York

once. I hitchhiked there--was there for an hour and left.

Rat What jail's your dad in?

Dewayne King County, going up to Walla Walla State Penitentiary for

burglary and attempted arson. So where you been living, before you

lived in that ... wherever you live at?

Rat In that hotel?

Dewayne Yeah. Is it seriously deserted? How long you been living there?

Rat Sh*t, since a month after I got to Seattle.

Dewayne Where're you from originally?

Rat California.

Dewayne What part?

Rat Sacramento.

Dewayne I went through there one time. It was bunk.

Rat I don't like Sacramento. I lived right on the outside of

Sacramento.

Dewayne I went through there and some f*ggot was tryin' to pick me up,

but I robbed him of $150.

Rat Take his car too?

Dewayne Hell no. I hitchhike. I love hitchhikin'. Not in Seattle

though, 'cause the only ones that'll pick you up are hippies, stoners

or fine girls. I like the fine girls to pick me up. (They laugh.)

On Pike Street, Kim and Tiny talk.

Kim I just started doing this stuff. I never even thought of 'hoing

'til I got down here. You know Tracy? She used to live with me when she

was a home girl, because her parents kicked her out. And she

disappeared. She went downtown with Lorna. You know Lorna? And then

Lorna came back and said that Tracy's a 'ho now. And then I got really

worried about her. I said, 'I can't let her do that stuff.' 'Cause I

always heard bad things like white slavery, that she's gonna get beat

up and everything. That's what scared me. So I thought, I gotta come

down and get her out of there, whether I gotta kidnap her or what. Then

I come down here and I see her and she says, 'It's great, man.' So I'm

just sittin' there going 'What? I heard that you don't like it down

here, that you're getting beat up and raped and everything.' She said,

'I'm making so much money and it's so easy, the money comes so easy.

It's great. You gotta do it.' And I sat there and I go, 'How much money

do you make?' and she started naming off and I go, 'Wow! I think I'd

better.'
