Hard Eight Page #5

You think I'm a piece of sh*t now

because you saw me leaving that room.

No, I don't.

Just a good girl, you know,

trying to save up...

open a beauty salon.

Maybe that, yes.

I don't know.

I don't wanna open

a f***ing beauty salon.

It's just that it's so much different

than what you think.

Explain it to me then.

I don't... I don't do anything

that I don't want to do.

You understand?

Are you...

Are you gonna tell John

that you saw me?

No. I'm not.

So...

I wanna know...

how you know him.

So you took care of him?

Sort of.

And you paid for her funeral?

We worked it out.

He's pretty adorable...

the way he follows you around

and looks up to you.

He orders the same drinks as you.

He dresses the same.

We share the same tastes,

I guess.

Do you have real kids?

Kids of your own?

Yes.

You married?

A boy and a girl.

No, I'm divorced.

I have a boy about your age,

daughter a few years older.

Where do they live?

I'm not sure.

I haven't spoken to them in a while.

That's too bad.

Yeah.

Maybe you'll see them.

Maybe.

F*** this.

I'm outta here.

I'm going to...

I'll get a robe

and some shorts or something.

Here's a robe

and some stuff for you.

Captain?

Yeah?

Do you wanna f*** me?

Do you think that?

Well, you brought me here.

Do you think that?

I don't know.

You should know before you ask

a question like that.

Well, you're being nice to me...

So you'd think I'd want that?

- If you wanted to f*** me-

Stop saying that.

- It just seemed like...

- Well, don't let it seem that way.

This is a comfortable bed

for you.

I want you to sleep on it...

to give you something to...

a place to have a nice shower

and a bed.

Don't get angry.

No, I'm not...

because I understand...

how you could ask

a question like that.

Now you really look at me

as a piece of sh*t.

No.

All right.

John won't be back

until very late.

He won't disturb you.

This is John's room?

Not tonight.

Boom! It exploded

right in my pants.

Totally burned a hole...

- The matches went off?

I could've caught on fire.

Hey, Captain.

Morning, Captain.

Good morning.

"Captain." That is a nickname

Clementine has given me.

It is not for you.

Okay.

What are you gonna do today?

Oh, I don't know.

But if you wanna do something,

go someplace or buy something...

John will take you.

Yeah. You need something?

Just to go home

and get some clothes.

So, go to the mall...

buy something nice.

Here.

I got it, Syd. I got money.

Oh. Okay.

You wanna go get something?

Yeah.

I mean... Yeah.

And that is that.

- See you later.

- Bye.

Bye.

Well?

Why do you have two TVs?

See, they got pay-per-view here...

That's this box.
