she's the best girl that I ever had

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the--

Why did we drink so much?

Because it was free.

We need to go shopping if we want to eat today.

How did your, um, interview go the other day?

If anything,

I was over-qualified.

Well, maybe you should just, you know...

Set your sights a little lower.

I have a $40,000 degree in art history.

I really don't want to work at the mall.

Baby, I'm not worried. You're gonna

have an amazing job one day.

I know. Things will get better.

Mmm.

Oh! Son of a b*tch.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

You're sure?

Yeah, I think so. Look at me.

You're okay.

Yeah, looks like someone

sawed this thing clear off.

Honestly, we could've been killed very easily.

That was intentional.

Yeah.

That's been happening a lot

in this neighborhood lately.

People comin' around sawin' off stop signs.

- I can't pay for that. - We can't be

held accountable for any of this.

Neither of you are gonna be

paying anything today.

- I been here 30 years--

- I feel like shopping.

Alice! Hey!

Jesus Christ.

- Slow down!

- You're speedin' here!

Hello.

Can I help you?

No, thank you.

I'm just browsing right now.

- Hey, Alice?

- I'm back here.

I, uh, I don't think the axle's bent

or anything so--

You wanna get out of here and get some food?

Well, the antiques roadshow

is coming this weekend.

Why don't we look around? See if

we can find something, get on TV.

You wanna look around here?

Yeah.

Um, excuse me.

Hi. Do you have any, like, old-fashioned

records or comic books or--

Nothing for you.

Nooses? Shotguns?

Poison?

Okay. I'm gonna go just...

In the car.

This is me, before the war.

You were beautiful.

That's the telephone.

Sh*t.

I got the car to work, baby.

Okay, great. Go! Go! Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go, now.

Why'd you run out of there like

baby face nelson? What happened?

Stealing?

Are you kidding me?

We're, like, two steps above

white trash as it already is.

This is so pretty.

Look at it.

Ow!

Alice!

What are you doing?

I was fighting in my dream.

Okay. No more kung fu movies

before bed.

I love cats. They get me much more

than people do.

Which reminds me. Did you know

Mr. Tutor is having an affair?

- Mr. Tutor? - Yeah. He's into

some very kinky, kinky stuff.

Do you wanna see?

Come on.

Seriously.

Oh, my god.

Where-- oh, my--

- Hi, Mrs. Tutor. Hi.

- Hi.

Nice to see you. You havin' lunch

with the boss today?

Every Friday.

You know, it's little things like that

that keep a marriage special.

- Have a good day.

- You too.

I'm calling about the, uh, position

that you had listed.
