Anything to make a fast buck.

You know, they weren't

like real friends,

they were more like,

transitory friends, you know?

You're a true friend, Perry.

Even though I haven't

talked to you in ages.

- Well, I'm here now.

So, at least you don't

have to worry too much.

I guess you get pretty

down on yourself.

- Yeah, I have, but

lately I've just been

feelin' more complacent.

I think that's worse.

- Why is that?

- Because it cons you into

thinking that there's hope.

- What's it

take for a guy to get

some service around here?

- I'm so hungry.

- Come on, food.

- Look at these fags.

- Hey, do you mind?

- What?

- You see, I haven't seen

my friend here in a while

and we're just

trying to catch up.

- Is that right?

Looks more like a

lover's quarrel to me.

- How's the date going, boys?

- Wow, you're a real

f***ing wise-ass, huh?

Trying to look bad in

front of your girl?

- Billy.

- Got me pegged, huh?

- It wasn't that hard.

See, I was your age.

I remember when I

didn't give a sh*t

about anything or anyone.

- Oh, really.

- That's a real dangerous

way to live, my friend.

- Is that a threat, tough guy?

- Billy.

- Come on, man, chill out.

- Hey, come on.

This is crazy.

- Yeah, listen to

your boyfriend.

- All right.

All right.

It's all right.

All right.

- Freaks.

- I'm sorry.

- It's all right.

They're young.

- I'm gonna be right back.

I was trying to be nice.

This is what you wanted,

you f***ing piece of sh*t.

- Everything all right?

- Oh, yeah, I had

way too much coffee.

- You got some

ketchup on your hand.

- Oh, thanks.

Come on, let's get outta here.

- Sure, I guess that's

probably a good idea.

- That was good back there.

I really needed that.

- Well, what's that?

- The meal.

It hit the spot.

- That was kind of weird

back there with that kid.

- Yeah, dumb little f***er.

- You haven't changed.

- Nope, not too much.

- So, where to, Billy?

- I could really use a drink.

How about you?

- Are you serious?

- I'm serious as a heart attack.

- What the hell's gonna be

open this time of night?

It's 1:
30.

It's still early.

- That's early for you.

I've gotta work in the morning.

- Oh, come on, man.

You can check people's

eyes in your sleep.

Live a little.

- I was just doin' just

fine until you called.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, pull over.

- What's the matter?

- Just pull over.

Thank you for rescuing

me tonight, all right?

You did save my life.

I owe you, Perry.

I'm a nuisance, man.

I should go.

- Where are you going?

Where are you going?

- Don't worry about me.

Go back to your wife and kid.

- Billy, it's the

middle of the night.

You're in the middle of nowhere.
