[soft rumbling]
[sparks zapping]
[electronic humming]
[zapping and humming
growing louder]
[rhythmic music pounding]
[door slams]
[music continues]
[electronic roar over music]
[static over music]
[music growing louder]
[music stops]
[distorted echoes,
static]
[rhythmic footsteps echoing]
[girl] When I remember it...
I remember thinking...
[rhythmic pounding]
...the entire population
of Greensburg, Pennsylvania,
is 14,892.
[pounding growing louder]
If you divide that by
the number of days in the year,
there should be 41 people with
[rhythmic pounding continues]
In my lifetime, the population
has decreased by 12.6%.
Soon, another 12.6%
will be gone.
And another.
And another.
Then another.
Until all that's
left here is me.
Me without you.
[rhythmic pounding continues]
[lighter clicks]
Me and the one thing
I was waiting to find out about.
[patient coughing]
[girl]
They were also waiting.
In the middle of nowhere.
In this doctor's office.
At 7:
30 in the morning.Twenty days ago,
I turned 20.
[rhythmic pounding continues]
Now we were all waiting to see
how many more birthdays
we'd have.
If there'd be one or 100.
If there'd be anyone new
to share them with.
[flame roars,
cigarette sizzles]
in Greensburg.
Every day.
Every minute.
Every second.
[pounding stops]
[patient coughing]
[door closes]
- [phone ringing]
- [coughing continues]
[coughing growing louder,
echoing]
- [ringing continues]
- [distorted PA announcement]
[girl] When I remember it,
I remember believing
everything begins
with one exact moment.
[keying on cell phone]
[keying stops]
[indistinct whispering]
[Lissa whispering] Daniel.
Daniel.
Daniel.
[roaring sound]
[indistinct whispering,
distorted choral music]
Did you hear
what I just said?
You don't care.
You don't know anything.
Everything's f***ed up.
What's the point
of even talking to you?
[Lissa] How can you say that?
After, after last year, after how
my mom's been acting, after my dad?
- I don't...
- Don't. Just don't.
Don't say I don't want
to end up like him?
Neither do you.
Here's the truest thing
I've ever said:
f*** you.Whatever.
And what about your mom,
have you talked to her?
Not since graduation.
Look, I didn't mean you don't
care, I didn't mean it that way.
- It's pretty clear how you meant it.
- Was it?
I'm hungry.
What? What are you
talking about?
That's an example
of being clear, "I'm hungry,"
which is what I am, hungry.
Come on, that doesn't
make any sense.
And bored.
Hungry and bored.
What do you wanna do, then?
I don't know.
Go to the porn store.
I'm legal now.
That one where the girls
wear nothing but a smile?
No, that's a strip club.
I was talking more about the ones
that flank the Barnes & Noble.
All that I was trying
to say is that...
it's got nothing to do
with your family.
I just meant that
you'll be out of here soon.
You're going to college.
- [Daniel] It's only a state school.
- [Lissa] So what?
[Daniel] Not far away.
Still better than
being stuck here.
Did you know Mount Pleasant
used to be called Hell Town?
[laughs] That's not true.
- It is.
- Why?
[Daniel] Something to do with,
this was in the '20s or something.
Coal miners lived
in Mount Pleasant,
whereas the rich bosses
lived in Scottdale, on the hill.
They should just go back
and rename the whole
goddamn area Hell Town.
[rap music pounding
on car speakers]
Sorry about earlier.
I was being a sharktopus.
- [Lissa] I was gonna say a sea hag.
- [Daniel] I don't get it.
A sharktopus
would make a good pet.
Sea hag is Jennifer Aniston.
I like Jennifer Aniston.
We go way back.
We're tight like spandex.
- Also, bumps, not lines.
- What?
I definitely wasn't
a sea monster.
- It's not coke.
- A sea hag, and yes you were.
It's cheap trucker's meth.
It's just that, for real,
I can't stand this place.
At least now I don't have to worry about
finding a job with dental insurance.
I can't end up like
these disgusting people.
12-year-old car to a stupid job.
- I don't want to think about cheating on my fat wife.
- [girl] See those lights?
I don't wanna work at my sh*t job for sh*t
pay so I can afford another used sh*t car.
Lissa, do you see them?
- Sh*t!
- What should we do?
[Lissa] Daniel, take care
of the phone.
[siren chirps twice]
I can't believe
this is happening.
Everyone, dust off your hands.
I'm going to M-I-f***ing-T.
I have an idea.
[taps on window]
Can I help you, officer?
What have you got
going on here?
Not sure yet... sir.
Take it elsewhere.
[rap music pounding]
- [Lissa] F*** it all, f***.
- [Aimee] F*** you, copper.
[nurse] Lissa Maruska?
How are you today?
Ready to order?
I've been waitressing
for about two years.
- I'm a human resources manager.
- I'm a chef and owner.
I teach family consumer science, which
used to be known as home economics.
[woman] I am a custodian.
I work for the county,
which is a good job,
although it's a crappy shift.
I am actually
a stay-at-home mom.
Some days you feel like you
don't talk to any other adults.
I spent 25 years
as a Pennsylvania state trooper.
I'm a union rep
for public employees in schools,
meaning teachers
such as bus drivers,
