All We Had Page #4

Synopsis: Thirteen-year-old Ruthie Carmichael and her mother, Rita teeter on the edge of poverty, despite Rita working multiple jobs. When their landlord kicks them out, Rita uses her looks to instantly reel in a boyfriend, who takes them in. Before long, Ruthie convinces her mother to leave and they head East in search of a better life. When money runs out and their car breaks down, they find themselves stranded in a small town called Fat River where their luck finally takes a turn. Rita lands a steady job waitressing at the local diner. With enough money to pay their bills, they rent a house and Fat River becomes the first place they call home. Peter Pam, a transgender waitress, becomes Ruthie's closest friend. Arlene, the no-nonsense head waitress, takes Rita under her wing. The townspeople become Ruthie and Rita's family. Into this quirky utopia comes smooth-talking mortgage broker Vick Ward, who entices Rita with a subprime loan. Almost as soon as Rita buys a house their fortunes change. Fa

and it's like nobody even goes

to games anymore.

All right, Lee, Lee,

that's enough.

May I get a refill here?

Sure.

You... you're a goddamn beauty,

you know that?

Would you wanna get a drink

with me in the back room?

Does that sound like something,

maybe, we'd wanna do?

I can't, I'm working.

Well, maybe some other time.

Marty:
Jeez, Lee!

-Lee!

-Don't stop eating.

Come on, come on.

It's all right.

Thanks, Pam.

I'm outta here.

My apologies to the lady.

Pam:
I will let her know.

Ohh!

How's that retainer working out?

It's great, thank you, Lee.

Lookin' okay.

Pam:
Did you want a... napkin?

Lee, this is way too much.

Lee, groaning:

I'll see you guys.

Marty:
Hi. Shouldn't

have traded Manning.

It was a big mistake.

Um, don't forget my cut.

Here, this belongs to you.

Do you mind?

Sorry.

This is where uncle Marty

takes his catnaps.

That man could sleep

through the entire

"Judy at the palace" record.

During a Sunday morning rush.

But it should be

pretty comfortable.

Thanks.

-Yep.

-Thanks.

No problem.

Hey...

Mother:
Oh! This is nice.

Oh, I like stretching my legs.

All right, how much?

-Mother:
Hand it over.

-Ruthie:
Okay. Um...

A few dollars.

All right?

We'll sock money away until

we can get the car fixed.

And then we'll get back

on the road.

Okay?

Ruthie?

Don't trust these people.

Especially Pam.

Pam's just mad at you.

She's nice.

She?

The nice ones always end up

being the biggest a**holes.

-You don't know that.

-Uh, yes I do.

Trust me.

It's like those, uh...

You know, those sayings,

like, uh...

"Sh*t happens."

Or, uh...

"Life is just one damn thing

after another."

It's like that.

You know, those...

You know, really smart people

wrote those.

It's not like just

stupid sayings, ruthie.

Well...

Really smart people usually

end up killing themselves.

Which is sort of like

not finishing a book

after you've started.

The right ending can make

the whole story fall into place.

You just have to keep reading.

I don't even know

what you just said...

You're really smart.

Thanks.

Wherever we end up, we're gonna

find you a good school.

Ruthie:
Having a place to sleep

allowed us to dream.

Did you know that this aluminum

can would still be here

in 500 years if we just

threw it away?

Really?

People use like 800 billion cans

a year, ruthie.

For a while, I would have

this nightmare

that the whole world turned

into nothing but aluminum cans.

Then, I discovered that you

could make things out of them.

Like jewelry.

Who's that?

That's Vic.

Sells real estate.

Always tips pretty well

after a big sale.

Looks like he's buying what

your mom's selling today.
