He never used them.

Daddy shoots blanks.

Oh.

Don't worry.

I know something else we can do.

I miss you

darling, how I miss you

Longing just to kiss you

And hold you in my arms

Are we rich?

$10,000 sure ain't poor.

Sounds rich to me.

Hey, you know, I was thinking,

the old man's probably

mad as hell right now.

Probably got the police out

looking for you and the money.

I think our only option

is to go to Mexico.

Did you cut yourself shaving?

Mm, poor baby.

Mexico sounds nice.

Yeah, and $10,000 can do us

a lot more good down there.

Do you think

that maybe we could...

Get a house with a swimming

pool with all that money?

Just like

in "sunset boulevard."

Well, I don't know

about all that,

but we'll be comfortable.

How long will it

take to get to Mexico?

Maybe two days.

But in the meantime,

we gotta stay low key.

People start noticing a little

white girl and a black guy,

they're gonna get suspicious.

Maybe you could be my driver.

That's not a bad idea.

And I can sit in the back seat.

We can even get you a hat.

Okay, let's not get

ahead of ourselves.

Okay, all right.

You want me to play the help?

Yeah.

Pies 'n fries?

You're hungry, ain't you?

Are you kidding?

I could eat a horse.

I don't think they got horse,

but I bet they got burgers.

And milkshakes? You know you can't

have a burger without a milkshake.

Oh, ain't that the truth?

Now, what flavor

does my gal fancy?

Well, I used to fancy vanilla,

but right now I feel

like an entirely

different person, so...

Let's do strawberry.

Could I get two

of your biggest cheeseburgers

and two strawberry milkshakes?

Baby, please answer me

remember, don't make me cry

Don't say good-bye,

don't leave me

Don't say good-bye,

baby of mine, don't leave me

Hello?

I said, we don't have

strawberry milkshakes.

Oh, then make it vanilla.

You'll have to take it to go.

I know.

Yum!

Hey, where'd you go before?

- What's that? -I looked

out and you weren't here.

Oh, yeah.

I got this.

I also got this.

Get a condom.

My greatest mistake

was holding you so near

tell me a happy memory

that you have.

My greatest mistake

- no.

- Oh, come on.

Just pick one.

The first one

that pops into your head.

Okay, how about when I met you?

That doesn't count.

Well, I don't have too many

others to choose from,

so maybe it can count for me.

Where'd you grow up?

Orphanage.

A small town in Texas.

What about your parents?

Never met my father.

And my mother left me

when I was just a baby.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah.

The home had mostly white boys,

so I got into my fair share

of fights growing up.

I always dreamed of running

away, but I never did.

I guess that's why I wanted
