The Prince Page #2

know where you can find him?

I'm... yeah. I know

people that know him.

Can you drive me down there

right now? I'll give you some money.

Um, I don't know if you can

tell I'm really drunk.

- I'll drive your car.

- I cannot drive.

I'll give you $500. We drive down.

Just point out where he lives.

It doesn't matter, whenever we

get there. You can go right back.

- That's all I'm asking.

- Wait, can you just go back a second?

- You'll...

- Did you say $500?

Yeah.

- Are you messing with me?

- No.

- I mean, it's the middle of the night.

- Now.

Thank you. Check!

Can I ask you something?

- Yeah.

- If you're so worried about Beth,

why wouldn't you just call the cops?

Because they wouldn't even

do anything for 48 hours...

Unless I reported her missing.

And even then, they're not

gonna give it any priority.

They'd just assume she's

some teen who ran away.

Which she kind of has,

if you think about it.

Not the Beth I know.

How many Beths do

you think there are?

One.

You know what I think?

I think this whole

thing's your fault.

You're the stereotype.

You're like one of those

hard-ass parents that...

Just doesn't get it.

It's like the more you keep

someone from doing something,

they more they want to try it.

So, uh, your suggestion is that I...

I should encourage her more

to get drunk and stoned

and maybe participate in that.

Is that what your dad did?

No, that is not what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is that you should

just let her be a teenager.

You know, it's natural

to experience things.

And, from what I heard,

you kept her on lockdown

and you barely let her

out of the house.

What'd you expect?

Is that what she said?

Come on. Uhh! Come on,

you can't keep a kid locked up,

because then they finally get

out there in the real world,

and they start experiencing all the

sh*t that they've been missing,

and then they go crazy.

You know, it's like they're

trying to make up for lost time.

You are so annoying.

You think this Eddie

character will be in there?

It's where we met him.

When we get in there, I want you

to keep a little distance from me.

In this city, it's gonna

be better off for you

if people don't realize

we're together.

What are you talking about?

Just trust me on that.

So I'm just gonna go find a

quiet little corner to sit in.

Spend a few minutes out here,

and then follow me and...

Just do whatever you normally do.

You see this Eddie guy,

just let me know somehow.

Just... try and tell me about it,

but don't be real obvious, okay?

Okay.

Ahh.

Beth?

You wanna dance?

Is he here?

Come on.

I swear, no one will

know we're together.

Just some creepy old
