What on earth are

you talking about?

Do you ever cry in bed?

During sex, I mean?

I have.

I mean, sometimes it's just too

strong or too much and it's

scary because, cause I don't

know what will happen

and it feels like something

wants to jump out of me.

It never does.

I will not be having this

conversation with a child.

You can let me

off at the next exit.

(MUSIC)

Hi.

It's a long story, but

I'm looking for my cousin.

Have you been here all day?

Since 1:
00 this afternoon.

Great. Have you seen this girl?

As a matter of fact, I have.

She came around and asked for

ways of shopping near here

and you know, and um,

Oh. Maybe I should get

the manager.

Wait, that's totally not necessary.

You know what, just, as a matter

of fact, just give me her room

number and you know what,

actually call her and ask her to

meet me in the lobby here.

I'm her cousin.

You know, I should get

the manager

No. Sh*t, that's not...

He wouldn't have sent

the police.

Nah, they ask too

many questions.

But I know he sent somebody.

So I can't tell you where I'm

going. It's even risky for me

to tell you where I've

been. But I have to get

everything lined up.

Still, I'm disappointed.

I feel like the same

person I was a few days ago.

This is going to be much

more work than I thought.

But I guess there's still time.

Time can be measured

in distance.

Seventeen hundred miles on a

map doesn't seem so long.

But in terms of what I need to figure out,

it seems much further.

(SIGH)

It's hard to really know

myself.

I mean even though I've always

been putting myself

under a microscope, this

whole time

you were busy living,

all I could do was wonder

how other people were seeing me.

If I never learned to be

who I was supposed to be.

Isn't that just as

bad as killing myself?

(CROWD TALKING)

(SCREAMING)

(PUNCHING)

(MUSIC)

(DOOR CLOSES)

This card isn't working

either, man.

Try this one please.

Alright.

Pssh. Nope.

Same thing.

Look, there's gotta

be something wrong

with your computers cause my

cards are all up to date.

No, the reader was

working well last night,

so I don't know what seems to

be going on right now.

Then again, these things do go

on a glitch from time to time.

So I'm pretty sure

it's not your card.

Do you have another

method of payment?

Sure. I guess.

OK.

How much is it?

Damn.

So it wasn't by

choice, but it was.

All he did was

pull over and ask.

After all those horror stories

you hear about little

girls and strangers.

Or of people finding razor

blades in their Halloween candy.

He asked and I got in.

I've been looking for

you for so long.

I know I can't ask you

to be the answer to a question
