Who have you got?

I got a queen. He's got a king.

Sit down.

Thought you guys left your own party,

found something better.

- Want some?

- No, I'm good.

I just...

I wanted to say we support you guys.

If you need anything,

you just let me know.

Support us how?

I mean, you know, we support you,

like, "Go America!" right?

But you wouldn't support

us by, like, enlisting?

Sh*t, man, they don't want me in there.

No, I can't, you know.

I've got bad asthma.

It'd make it real hard to...

Hard to what?

Hey, man, I mean, I just...

What?

I'm just f***ing with you, man.

F***, man.

Oh, you think that's funny, Kristen?

I'll be right back.

Nice piece of ass there?

Could you get me a gun?

A gun?

Yeah, I can get you a gun.

What do you need a gun for?

I'm a soldier, man. I like guns.

Yeah. I know a guy.

You got cash?

I do.

F*** it. Give me your number.

I'm using a burner right now.

Number's on the back.

Soldiers like guns.

Landing a gig is huge for me.

What's the big deal if I go on tour?

It's, like, three weeks, max.

Why don't you trust me for,

like, five seconds?

I don't know. Maybe...

- I've given you no reason not to trust me.

- I'm done with this.

Come on.

- You ready to go?

- Sure.

- I'll drive.

- No, I'm fine.

I'll drive.

You're stoned.

And how are you more sober than me?

I'm bigger than you.

Please, put on your seat belt.

- Do you want to talk about it?

- No.

It's just...

It's nothing. I mean,

we got into an argument.

It's old stuff.

You know, I used to love

that he was in a band.

But now I'm saving money for college,

and he just isn't moving on.

I mean, he doesn't even have a job.

Well, he's a drug dealer.

Okay. He's not a drug dealer.

Yeah. He sells drugs sometimes to,

like, friends for extra cash.

Well, if he's messing things

up with you, then he's a fool,

and you don't need to worry about it.

No. I'm serious.

I mean, hell, if I'd had a

girl like you back home,

I wouldn't have gone over to

the Middle East to get shot at.

Thank you.

I like this music.

You do?

It's, just a mix that I made.

I can make you one if you wanted.

Yeah? Can you put this song on it?

Yeah, I can do that.

So, good night.

Good night.

Thanks for inviting me out.

Yeah, no problem.

Good night.

No. I want to proceed as we discussed.

No one will be able to recognize me.

That's important.

What do you mean, "Dental records"?

An orthodontist? No, I don't need that.

Fingers, yes.

As soon as possible.

I'm off the grid for now.

But there are people

trying to look for me.

I understand it'll take some time,

but this is urgent.

I just need a new face.

I'll keep this phone in case anything
