Sorry. She was my sister.

Was?

She died about 15 years ago.

Oh. I'm sorry.

Me, too, but it happens.

What about you?

Your family around here?

Uh, no.

Not a happy story like mine?

Hmm. You're perceptive.

I like that about you.

Ready to go?

Always.

This is a little unreal.

I take it you don't get

out of the city much.

The city doesn't like

me to get out much.

What exactly does that mean?

Well...

you really don't want me to know

anything about you, do you?

Ah, come on. That's not true.

I just want to control

what you know about me.

Ah, well at least

you're honest sort of.

I'm totally honest about that.

People show what

they want to show.

Yeah, regardless of how

many questions I ask.

Exactly.

I think I'm afraid.

This is the part you

should be enjoying.

I am.

Even though you

make it sound like

a bomb is gonna explode as

soon as I get close to you.

That's what you're afraid of?

Not really.

I think I'm afraid

that it'll go off

before we really get a

chance to know each other.

The fuse is lit.

Hey.

You Okay?

You want to share

something deep,

but I don't have

anything for you.

Why not?

Because every night I-I-I-I

sit here and I read

and it's just like the room

just keeps getting smaller

and--and darker and

there's--there's,

there's someone putting

a hand over my mouth.

Then I go out.

We all go through tough times.

Not like this. Not like this.

You don't know. You don't know.

Okay. I don't.

I don't know, but I don't

plan on ducking out, okay?

Any offer will be

considered, huh?

Oh.

Working condition right

there, excellent item.

You can see around

the corner with it.

See into the future.

Find out who's she with, huh.

It's, I'm telling ya, bub,

is the right tool for the job.

Come on man, make an offer.

Make an offer.

Hey. Hi.

You ready for Chinese?

Yeah.

I want to show you something.

Come on. Okay.

These...

These are... These are amazing.

No, don't say that.

No, no, no. Don't say anything.

I wanted you to see.

I'm glad you changed your mind.

That one's for you.

I...

Will you take it? I...I...yes.

Yes. Yes. It's beautiful.

It's beautiful.

Beautiful isn't the point.

Then what's the point?

To make you forget everything

that you know about me.

F***. F***.

F***. F***er.

F***. Damn it.

F***ing miserable f***. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Put it in her. F*** her.

Come on.

That's what you're

f***ing her for,

right, motherf***er?

'Cause you always have

to be a good girl.

And you always have

to be a good person.

You've got to find the good in

everything that you do today,

whatever you think is necessary.

Hey!

No! No! This is not for you!

What is this?

I'm sleepy.
