if I do end up

entering the contest,

that I would... I would do the

California lighthouses.

That's cool. It's really cool.

Yeah.

One major problem, though.

I... I really need

a ride to get there,

and I can't drive, and...

What if I take you?

What? No, that's not

what I was driving at.

I know.

I want to.

What about tomorrow?

It's a Sunday.

I'm free during the day.

Plus, I kind of

owe you one. Heh.

Heh.

Okay.

Cool. Where do you live?

Um, um...

where do I live?

Forest... Forest Road, the

last house on the left.

Cool. I'll pick you up,

like, 11:
00?

Yeah. Yeah, that's perfect.

Great.

Great.

Yeah. I'll see you at 11:00.

Thank you.

What kind of music you into?

Oh, I don't really

listen to music too much,

but I like everything.

Country's pretty good.

My dad played a lot of country.

Sometimes I go to the Cowboy

Palace with Peg and her friends.

It's that country club

down on South Street.

- Yeah.

- Um...

Peg knows the bouncer,

so I get in without a problem,

and he didn't mind, 'cause

he knows I don't drink.

You don't drink?

I have enough trouble

walking when I'm sober.

How old are you?

17. How old are you?

I just turned 18.

I think country's cool.

I prefer harder stuff, though.

I went to a couple

of concerts with Skid

before I realized he was

a complete lunatic.

Yeah.

Anyway...

I haven't been outside in

the daytime for while.

I usually like to sleep late

and stay in till nighttime.

Why don't you go out?

I don't know.

I don't want people to see me,

what I look like and all.

Want to take a look?

Who's Kevin?

My older brother.

This is his camera

and his stuff.

Where's Kevin now?

He died.

I'm so sorry.

No, it's okay.

What about your mom?

My mom left when I was

only a couple years old,

just started to walk.

At least, tried to walk.

Why'd she leave?

Me.

So it's just you

and your dad now?

Yeah, my dad's great.

He's like my best friend.

He's always encouraging

me and stuff.

It's cool.

- Yeah, that's cool.

- Yeah.

Sounds like a good guy.

What about you?

Do you have any family?

Um...

well, my dad's gone, thankfully.

And my mom...

I haven't seen her

since she asked me to

hit the road, so...

You should probably

take the picture.

We kind of have to go, right?

Yeah.

No, no, no! I am done

with men, remember?

D-O-N-E, done.

They're nothing but two-timing,

always lying,

sex-addicted dogs.

I don't mean you, sweetie.

Well, I'm sex addicted, too.

You know that.

Hey, hey! May I remind you

that we are sitting

with a very young,

innocent young man here?

Please, watch your

f***in' language.

Charles doesn't mind,

now, does he?

Am I right? Am I right?
