creep instead of me.

Hey! Hey! I'm not kidding! Let's do it!

Oh, he's old!

He's not even good-Iooking.

What, do you have a job?

Mister Job? Owen!

I told you there wasn't anybody

else. Oh, sh*t, my records.

So you broke up with me for nobody?

Do you not see how that's worse?

We don't have time for this.

Scott Walker, Wilco... John Cale!

Hey, that's my Cale.

We don't have time for any of this, guys!

Goodbye, friends!

Come on.

Give me that Cale.

Okay, here we go.

I'll drive.

AII right, all right.

- Hey!

Watch out for my hand.

Here we go.

I can't believe you're breaking

up with me now.

It's the worst timing for me, ever!

We didn't get back together.

What do you call Iast night?

Nothing happened!

Since when is snuggling nothing?

Sh*t. I thought it was right there.

You don't remember where you parked?

No, it was... It was on...

It was on 1st and 9th. F***,

maybe it was 10th and 2nd?

This way. It could have been 3rd...

It was definitely one of

those combinations.

I'm the a**hole, right?

Everything's my fault?

Can we just concentrate

on finding the car?

No, Owen, it's not about that.

I'm just saying that we're not a match.

I mean, isn't it better we find

out now, rather than Iater?

No!

What do you mean, not soul mates?

I Iove you. I want to take care of you.

Just get...

Penny, Iet's go, come on!

Owen? Come on!

You okay? Come on! Go for the car.

There it is!

Is this because you pay my rent?

Because I had to swallow a Iot

of pride to Iet you do that.

Get in the car, Owen.

I'm not Ieaving the city.

Well, it's my car.

Oh, that's right, I don't have a car.

Throw that in my face while you're at it.

They're right on top of us!

"They're right on top of us!"

Would you get out and help? I'll do it!

No, no, no. No, no, no. I'll do it.

Just...

Oh, God, there's a guy. There's

a guy right there!

Cut the wheel! Cut it!

What are you doing? Cut the wheel!

I'm... Cut the wheel!

Fire! Fire! There's fire!

You're not cutting at all!

Are you freaking blind?

God, here they come!

What is wrong with you?

Hey! Hey! I know a guy with a plane.

If you drive me to where I need to

go, I can get you to your family.

Hello? Cut the wheel!

That's it. Now come forward a Iittle bit.

Ah, he'll be fine!

Hey!

So tell me about this plane.

You know, hybrid cars don't

need as much gas.

Yes. They still need a Iittle

gas, don't they?

No, I'm just saying, you don't

have to fill them up as much.

Does this mean we're not

going to the plane?

Look, maybe you should just

forget about the plane.

I Ieft Owen in the middle of a riot.

He used you as a human shield, Penny.

You don't even know him.

Look, you're the one who woke me
