Lost River Page #4

to the last detail. And look at it go!

Filling the valley up

like a sink from a faucet.

Sure, we might be losing

our famous prehistoric theme park,

- but we're gaining a brand-new reservoir.

- A reser-what?

It's a lake,

made right where you need it.

So that's how we all work together

to help our town grow.

And just because you may need

to leave your house

and all its old bricks and boards

and nails... that's not a bad thing.

You're in a brand-new home

with your family, because...?

- A family makes a home.

- You said it, Bobby.

A family makes a home.

That's her.

That's her in the movie.

Is that your grandfather?

Yeah. He died during

the construction of the dam.

She hasn't spoken ever since.

Now you believe me about the spell?

No.

Well, you know,

the only way to break it

is to bring a piece to the surface.

They like burning houses here.

It is like a game.

You know,

in my country, in my place,

when you heard about America,

everybody say,

"there's so much money there," and...

"you're gonna have a big car,

big house, and a swimming pool,"

and... and, "you're gonna catch

the money on the floor

and just have to take it

and pick it up."

And finally it's different.

But you realize when you arrive here,

it's different.

So, everybody's looking for

a better life somewhere. It's like that.

And maybe we'll find some...

- one day.

- Yeah.

Where you're working doesn't

seem friendly. Will you be okay?

I'll be fine.

How about you?

I'm fine.

And tomorrow morning, when you

wake up to find blood on your pillow,

you'll wonder

if it was all just a dream.

But you'll know exactly where you were

when you get your credit-card bill.

I don't really know what it is,

but I like it.

Well, it's a place for people

to get wild for the night.

F*** being polite.

It's something I do every time I come

to one of these towns that's imploding.

I set up one of these clubs.

People come here. They have a good time.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Get me a band-aid.

I need a band-aid to the stage.

I'm gonna have Cat,

show you around after her act.

Thank you so much.

You can make some good bread

doing the shows,

but down here

is where you get it buttered.

- What are they called?

- Shells.

You just get in there, and then what?

That's it.

All you have to do is be in there.

They just wanna be able

to let out their frustrations

and not worry about hurting anyone.

Is it dangerous?

If the door's locked, you're fine.

Yeah. Door's locked, you're good.

How much does it pay?

It pays the rent.

- Do you get a commission?

- Off this? Yeah.

Does that make you feel uncomfortable?

Good night.

Hey.

Put on something fancy.
