Is too good to be true

Standing here beside you

Want so much to give you

This love in my heart

That I'm feeling for you

Let 'em say we're crazy

I don't care about that

Put your hand in my hand, baby

Don't ever look back

Let the world around us

Just fall apart

Baby, we can make it

If we're heart to heart

And we can build this dream

Together

Standing strung forever

Morning's gonna stop us now

And if this world runs

out of lovers

We! Still have each other...

Whoa-hoe!

There you go. Enjoy yourselves.

Thanks.

- What about Room 2?

- Oh. Occupied.

Thought you said we'd have

the whole place to ourselves.

No, I said that we have a customer

who might need to stay another night

or a little longer, and...

Sorry about that.

The f*** you're sorry.

We had a deal.

Well, you got the rest of the place

to yourself.

Listen, old man,

I can take my party elsewhere.

So, you either cut me a deal,

or I'm gonna get outta here.

- I'm already giving you a discount.

- Okay.

I've given you a discount, sir...

Hey, listen. Okay, Listen.

Hey! Come hack here.

Come back here, come back here.

All right.

I'll knock off 10 percent.

Ted, show him his rooms.

Pretty sure I can find it.

We're running a dead motel, son.

These rooms just don't know it yet.

What could we do?

You're the one with the business

sense, maybe you could figure it out.

We could leave.

You take after your mother.

- Is that a freshman?

- Hey. Hold up.

You're that kid who lives here,

aren't you?

Do you have any extra soap?

Come on. Just a little sip.

It'll put hair on your chest.

Holy sh*t.

- It burns.

- Holy sh*t.

"It burns. It burns."

You put fire in my throat.

- Come on. We were just playing.

- Come hack!

Marcus. Shots.

F*** you doin'?

Let's go.

Forgot my beer.

What the f*** are you doing?

- The f***?

- Holy sh*t.

What the f*** were you doing?

Let me go!

Let me go!

The f*** was that?

'Get up! He was groping Sarah!

Ouch! Ouch!

- What the f*** were you gonna do?

- Let me go!

- Hey.

- Stop it!

Whoa, man, check it out!

Ow! Ow!

What the f***? Stop it!

Drink! Drink! Drink!

- No! No!

- Stop it! Stop it!

What the f*** is your problem,

a**hole?

- Marcus! Marcus, slop!

- Please! No!

Marcus! Marcus!

Stop! Stop!

F*** off! Get the f*** out!

Are you okay?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad?

Ted?

What...?

What did they do to you?

- Dad...

- Oh, my God.

What did they do to you?

Ted...

Oh, goddamn it. Oh, goddamn it.

Why? Huh?

Why couldn't you listen to me?

Ted, what did I tell you?

What did I say, huh?

You just leave 'em alone, right?

You leave 'em alone! Huh?

You gotta do everything your own way!

Right? Oh, Ted...

All right, you...
