Running on Empty Dreams Page #2

You know, I can just see myself

getting a contract, an agent, everything.

Sydney, you're dying.

You're thinking about

being a star, Hollywood.

Listen, I gotta go up to

Utah for a week, tomorrow.

You know, you promised

that we would go hiking tomorrow.

I'm doing the best I can.

Feels like, like we're running out of time.

I don't know if I can make an extra $1,500

in the next couple of months.

I think there's $500 credit left on here.

Maybe that can be a down

payment or something.

I don't know.

Why can't we just have fun?

You know, maybe just one day a week.

DUNCAN!

I am not gonna die for nothing!

Don't talk like that.

I'm gonna get you outta here.

I don't think I'm gonna make it.

I can't feel anything below my waist.

Come on. Now, let's go.

Let's go!

I can't. I gotta stop the bleeding.

Get your goddamn

sh*t together, jarhead!

F***ing move!

Come on, man. Come on.

Come on!

You have to be the

healthiest person I know.

I'd kill for a body like yours.

Well?

Well, what?

Come on.

Okay, it was really good.

I was in f***ing tears.

You're not just

saying that, are you?

Oh, my God. I almost peed myself

when they finally slept together.

Oh, it was so good.

Well, maybe this

time I can get an agent.

You know, I don't get it.

I don't know that they want.

Well, I think they're

looking for that thing,

that thing that everybody's looking for.

Aww, baby.

Do you like donuts?

I love donuts!

I guess, not exactly

the healthiest thing,

but I guess if there's nothing else to eat.

Do you always do what

you're supposed to do?

I try to.

You're special.

I mean you're young and ambitious,

and you know what you want,

and you have a purpose,

and, I don't know.

I'm just trying to figure out mine.

You know? Still asking God.

Since when did

start talking to people?

Yes, baby.

Romey and Jules forever.

That was a poorly-written script.

Mm-hmm, and they

made it into a movie.

I know. It stunk.

And that guy made it.

I can write better than that.

Yeah, you're right.

You can, and you have.

Okay, so what are

your all-time favorites?

'American Beauty'.

'Boys Don't Cry'.

'Girl, Interrupted'.

Oh, all time favorite,

'Shawshank Redemption'.

Yeah, it's this guy who gets framed

for the double murder of

his wife and her lover.

He's in prison by society,

but not in his mind.

His mind, he's free.

Otherwise, what would keep him, you know,

moving forward 'cause he's

physically in bondage, so...

Wow.

You know, I've never

met anybody like you.

Well, we're even.

'cause I've never met

anyone that God talks to.

Hey!

Daddy, what'd you bring me?

Hey, Buddy. Guess.

Dad,

What'd you bring me?
