I need to find his mother.

Well, have you tried

her friends, family?

No one knows where she is.

Does she have a husband

or a boyfriend?

What about the boy's father?

Why doesn't Billy look like you?

'cause he looks like his father.

Why did you name him Billy?

'Cause his father's name

was that

and his father before him.

Hey, could you get

the jumper cables?

Sure.

Where are they?

Oh, they died

a long time ago.

My mom goes to work every day.

Where does she work?

Hooters.

Oh!

She's a dancer.

Is that right?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, now,

take this cable,

and put it

right in there.

Attaboy.

Haven't seen one of these

in a while.

'68?

That's right.

What can I do for you?

Brakes keep on slipping.

Let's have a look.

Boy, she's walked a mile.

She still plays good.

I'm kind of partial to her.

You're Maggie pope's boy,

aren't you?

You know my mom?

I'm Roy Long.

Billy.

Yeah, I got some buddies

I play with.

We're not very good,

but we have fun.

Car's ready.

Just needed some fluid.

What do I owe you?

Just brake fluid.

Five bucks

ought to cover it.

Come back on Sunday,

2:
00.

We can always use

another player.

Hop in the truck,

Clayton.

I'll be right back.

Get out of the back, Clayton.

Get out of the back!

Why?

Thud!

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Get out.

Because I said so;

that's why.

Get out!

- I can do it myself.

I'm sorry, Clayton.

What are you doing in here?

Nothin'.

Is that your shirt?

No.

Where'd you get it?

Maggie gave it to me.

Soup's on.

Did you wash

your hands?

Yeah.

With soap?

Mm-hmm.

Let me see.

Scoot.

What are you laughing at?

Go wash.

"Scoot.

Wash your hands."

Wash your hands.

I'm washing 'em.

If she asks you if you washed

your hands from now on,

you just say, "yes."

Stop hogging the water.

Relax.

Oh, wait.

Here. Here.

Okay?

Hold on. Here.

Let me see.

Other side.

He's yours, isn't he?

Does he know?

I don't think so.

Why didn't you tell me?

I just found out

just a couple days ago.

His mother's got some problems

that she needs to figure out.

So I'm a grandmother.

Clayton?

Is that--

Clayton!

Where have you been?

Where is he?

Where is he?

Where is he?

Hope, calm down.

What the f***

are you looking at?

What is she looking at?

Oh, no.

Where is my son, huh?

Clayton!

Where have you been?

How'd you even find me?

Beth told me.

Could you have made it

any f***ing harder,

out here in the middle

of nowhere?

Made it any harder?

You disappeared!

I've been calling you.

Clayton?

Where is he?

Hope, look,

we got to talk, okay?

I'm calling the police!

Look, Mom.

Please, wait.

Mom, wait.

- Clayton!

I'm calling the police.

Mom, hang up the phone.
