Where are you

from anyway?

Um...

(French accent):

Um, Paris.

Um, what?

(Normal voice):

Paris.

You are such

a funny little thing.

Oh, man.

Okay, tell me about

this old junior you ditched.

What did he look like?

Was he easy on

the eyes at least?

Like a real

gunslinger type.

Even had a limp.

Listen, kid, I don't have

time to draw you a map,

but there's a reason

mamas tell their babies

to stay away from

guys like that.

Like, you don't know

the first thing.

How old are you?

Thirteen.

Go on.

Go on. You wanna

try it, don't you?

Figure sooner or later, you're

gonna be doing this anyways,

but it's gonna be

with some skinny f***

giving it to you,

calling it love.

So this way you know.

So what's your

daddy look like?

Maybe I've seen him.

Amen.

Come on. Get your

tail over here.

What? What?

Are you a wily kid?

Am I what?

Wily, do I need

to buy you a dictionary?

Street smart!

Um, yeah, sure.

I guess so, yeah.

Oh, can you f***ing block

the wind for me please?

Oh, thank you.

Glenda, do you

go to church?

Church is for

brunettes.

Okay, here's what

I want you to do.

Um...

you got any

Hubba Bubba, mister?

Sure thing, pumpkin,

right over here.

There you go, sweetie.

Glenda!

Glenda!

It's not exactly what

I had in mind, kid.

Get him off me! Get him off me!

Get him off me! Oh!

Oh, sh*t.

Sh*t!

Is he dead?

F***, I don't know.

Where were you going with

that stupid plan, anyway?

I saw it in a movie.

Come on.

Maybe we should call

someone or something.

Shut up.

But, Glenda, we can't

just leave him there.

Oh, you better

believe we can.

No, we can't.

Amateur.

Listen to me!

What looks weirder?

Two girls call an ambulance

for some old dead guy

and maybe down the road

they figure out some

money's missing?

Or there's some dead guy

lying on the floor,

no one's inside and all

the f***ing money is gone?

Oh, never mind.

Glenda, listen to me!

What do you care?

Well, I gotta live

with myself.

I'm so worried my baby

will be traumatized for life.

We got the best ER in the state.

That's good because we loved

that old man so much.

Let's go.

Bye, thank you.

I mean, is that

my fault, you know?

He probably just got

like a temporary stroke

or something, right?

He's gonna be fine in like an

hour or so, something like that.

He'll be fine.

Oh, come on.

You heard the man.

Kimball has got the

best ER in the state.

Hell, I even

heard of it.

I think that that may

be the most famous

medical establishment

in the world.

There, I said it.

You wanna pray?

Are you f***ing

kidding me?

Hey, watch your

language, kid.

Come on, give

me your hand.

I can't leave my eyes closed
