Priceless Page #3

- Walk. Walk.

- CJ.

Gentle, por favor.

- Yeah.

- S?

Amiga, what is your name?

Antonia.

Antonia.

It is no surprise, huh?

It means beautiful, um,

praiseworthy and priceless, s?

You two girls

have boyfriends? You have a boyfriend?

Nada? Nada?

But have you ever

had boyfriend, or no?

S.

CJ?

- Yeah?

- Okay.

This is why we are

very gentle with them,

and not moving around

like they are dogs or animals

because, uh...

They have something

very valuable, okay?

Yeah, I don't know

what I was thinking.

I beg your pardon, my bad.

Okay, let's go.

I'll show you your room.

We go this way.

Shouldn't you be

headed back out?

Just trying to

have a drink, man.

Yeah, that always helps.

How did you know?

Box truck on

an overnight delivery?

Hauling cargo.

I would've called the cops

if they'd do a darn thing.

I just needed the cash.

I didn't know.

And... And it seemed

like an easy gig.

You looking for sympathy?

Not here.

I need help.

- What's that?

- I need help.

Her and her sister.

I want to undo it, somehow.

Look, you obviously know

something about this.

Then help me.

Help her.

I'm Dale.

James.

You still looking

for a place to stay?

Don't be shy.

You look good.

And these will

help you feel good.

Go on, take one.

No, thank you.

How's your sister holding up?

I don't know.

This is too much for her.

- It's too much for...

- Anyone?

Yeah, I remember being there.

Did your family

owe somebody moneys too?

No.

No, I'm just a regular idiot.

I got boyfriended.

You know?

I met a boy online,

blah, blah, blah.

So one day, um,

he sends me a plane ticket

to meet him in Vegas.

That first day was amazing.

But that night...

I guess he drugged me.

Um, I woke up

in the back of a van with a bunch of men.

I am so sorry.

It is what it is, you know.

And Garo treats me

way better than my old man ever did, so...

I will pray for you.

Honey, you got a rough

couple of days coming up,

you should pray for yourself.

- Hey.

- Morning.

Morning.

To be honest, I'm surprised

you're still here.

I figured you would've

sobered up and run home by now.

A little surprised myself.

Let's take a walk.

First things first,

I need you to get rid of that truck.

What do you want me

to do with it?

I don't care.

Just get it off my lot.

If you need to go somewhere,

I got some bikes out back.

You can borrow one.

Do you ride?

It's been a while, but, yeah.

Good. So what's your plan?

Go to the motel,

see what I can see.

You all right?

I have one person in this world

that I actually

mean something to.

She's already lost her mom.

And right now,

she's at home wondering

if her dad is gonna

show up like he promised.
