Karen?

Shoot.

- Hey, is this the bus from DC?

- Yeah.

I'm looking for my sister.

- Do you have a passenger list?

- No list.

Now get off the bus.

Start cleaning.

- Now.

- Hi.

Hold... hold on a sec.

Do you think I could use your phone

after you're done?

I'd... I'd pay you,

but I don't have my...

Pizzicato

Even softer

Pianissimo

Say you love me

With a doodlin' song

F*** you, you piece of sh*t.

Don't talk to me, then.

I can't hear you.

You're f***in' breaking up.

Hello? Hello?

Can I use your phone?

- Well, can I use your phone?

Turn that sh*t down!

I'm sorry, do I know you?

Why would you think that...

Damn, spaz. Chill.

Shoot, wait.

I'm cool from the subway.

Okay.

- Yeah, totally.

Looking from a window above

It's like a story of love

Can you hear me?

Came back only yesterday

Moving further away

Want you near me

All I needed

was the love you gave

All I needed

for another day

And all I ever knew

Only you

Sometimes when I think

of your name

And it's only a game...

Oh, my goodness.

You... you came from nowhere.

You're okay?

Are you okay?

I'm going to call

an ambulance, okay?

Hold on. She's okay.

I'm sorry, you'll have

to take another cab.

No, man, she's standing.

She doesn't need an ambulance.

She'll be fine.

Besides, it was her fault, man.

I saw the whole thing.

She doesn't have

health insurance.

She's just gonna wind up getting a huge

hospital bill with a f***ing ambulance.

Give her 20 bucks.

She'll be okay.

Are you... are you okay?

Diane? Is that you?

Jesus Christ.

- Where the hell have you been?

- I'm peeing.

Do you know how much trouble

you're in, young lady?

I'm peeing. Go away.

Your brother used

to wear a helmet.

You can't ground me!

You're not my mother!

While you're here

for the rest of the week,

I can do whatever I want.

No, it's just another

six days of this hell.

Fine! Glad you came to visit.

Let's see if you ever come back.

Does it hurt?

No, it's just a scratch.

Thanks.

Hey, do you like sushi?

I don't know.

It's good.

It's good with ketchup.

Try it.

Do you like it?

I didn't like it either at first.

Do you wanna spit it out?

So, do you wanna see my room?

Yeah, sure.

Here, we can bring these.

Hold on, I wanna

show you something.

I've... this...

I've... I've never played this
