Howdy-do, ducky?

That's my girl!

Hi.

It's a pleasure

to meet you, too.

Look, have you

got any gas to sell?

No.

Bummer.

Now, hold on,

there's gotta be some gas

in the tank's of these cars.

Nope, they drain 'em

when they bring 'em in.

'course I might not have gotten

to that one there.

And there might be

a gallon in this 'un.

Yeah, now that I think of it,

there might just be

quite a few gallons around here.

You brung me a live one, ducky!

I thought you didn't

worship at the alter of money.

I don't, but old viney here

is a true believer.

Ha ha ha!

September fourth...

Happy Birthday to me.

So here I am

at the pool again...

Madeline's always telling me

to go for it...

easy for her to say, I always

end up feeling like a geek.

Dad was right...

I'm keeping my shirt on today.

God, that was embarrassing

for him to see me like that.

I want him to kiss me,

but I'm really scared.

What if he's not around today?

What if he's gone somewhere?

What if...

Hi!

Did I scare you?

No, I just wasn't

expecting that.

I know who you're waiting for.

I'm not...

I know you like him,

but there's a lot about him

you don't know.

Like what?

You got a problem, pink-ass?

No.

Then what are you staring at?

Nothing.

You saying I'm nothing?

N- no, I was just...

just leaving.

I'll see you later, joleen.

Bye, pinky.

Come on.

Why are you so mean to him?

Because he's just too weird.

Come on.

Come on.

I can't.

My dad wants me to stay here.

Do you always do everything

your daddy says?

Come on.

Jimmy... Jim... James...

I wonder if he's got

another girlfriend...

I could ask, but it seems like

a pretty dumb question,

and he's definitely not the kind

of guy who likes dumb questions.

So serious...

something about him, though,

is a little scary,

sort of dangerous...

but not really, not underneath.

I know that's just me

being afraid.

Well, here goes.

Where to?

Um, I dunno, someplace cold.

Alaska, maybe.

Ah.

From your dad?

Yeah.

Yep.

You wanna go with me?

Wouldn't it be great?

Hawaii first, then Switzerland.

We could leave tonight...

I know where to get the money.

Are you hot?

That's a dumb question.

Ah!

Ha ha!

Stop!

Stop! Aah!

Jimmy! Stop it!

Jimmy! Aah!

Stop it!

Aah! No!

Stop it!

Jimmy, stop!

Get off of me!

Jimmy!

I'm gonna kill you!

Come on!

Get off me!

Come on!

Let go!

Drink it!

Drink it!

Where are we going, the moon?

Whoa!

Do you think

he's still out there?

Don't worry, joleen,

I'll protect you.

Your turn, you suck.

This is the last of them.

How much gas have we got?

Eleven gallons!

That's five and a half apiece.

Amy's rabbit gets

36 to the gallon...

that's 200 Miles,

that'll at least get us
