There aren't many of you around.

How many guys have you slept with?

Kind of lost count awhile back.

Guys, I love you,

and I know y'all had my back

in what's been

the most f***ed-up year ever.

So I think I'd like to buy you

a few beers at the diner,

Cucaracha's, wherever.

More than I thought.

Looks like a couple shots as well.

Why don't you just come with us, Franki?

We'll go down to Emo's.

We'll go to the Mohawk.

Yeah, dude.

A-Line's on the decks tonight.

It's gonna kick the sh*t, man.

- I'm cool.

- What about her?

I'll take care of her.

You're not gonna do anything

stupid, are you, Franki?

Not me, man.

I guess I offered my boys a drink.

I should probably offer you one too.

Would you like something?

I don't know what I thought

I was gonna do

when I got you here.

I mean, there was a part of me.

There's a part of me. I knew.

But now you're here.

I just want to hold you in my arms

and tell you everything's gonna be okay.

It's not what I ever imagined,

I have to say.

Can I do that?

Relax.

Just relax.

I'm not gonna do anything.

Maybe we can help

each other through this.

I know what you did to me

wasn't personal,

given that we never met

before that night.

And I'm a pretty good judge

of character.

And underneath everything,

I think you're a good person.

And I bet you never got close

to anyone before.

Have you?

You never quite trusted anyone,

because you couldn't tell them

the whole truth.

Do you think you

could change your rules for me?

Do you think that you could love me?

What are you doing?

I want to make love to you.

I'm sorry.

I don't even know your name.

Erica.

Can I do that, Erica?

Can I make love to you?

Hey.

I don't know if this is

the right thing to do,

but, well,

I want be there for you

when you need me,

and I'd like for you

to be there for me too.

Will you marry me, Erica?

Please say yes.

It makes sense, right?

Can I use the bathroom?

I just need some time to think.

No, no, no, no, no!

No! Somebody!

Get the f*** off of me! Help, help!

Help!

Jesus!

I'm just trying to be nice

to you here, Erica!

Doin' okay?

Yeah.

Just rushed off my feet, man.

Anything you want to tell me?

No.

Back to the grind, right?

Do you ever cut yourself, Erica?

Thought you might have.

It's something a lot

of girls do, apparently.

It takes away the numbness,

makes them feel more alive.

I think I just f***ed up big-time, man.

Oh, f***.

We need to call the cops, man.

Right f***in' now.

We're gonna take you to the hospital.

You're gonna live through this.

I just need you to relax,

stay calm as possible,

and don't waste any energy, okay?

Thank you.

Let's go.

Grab the door. Get the door.
