Who's that?

What?

Who is that guy?

No one.

No one.

Aww, don't give me that sh*t.

You sleep with every

single girl at that bar.

It's true.

Tell me about him.

- Nuh-uh.

- Tell me,

tell me about him, he from here?

He from here?

- No.

- No?

Mm-mm.

Where did you meet him?

Here.

He's a truck driver.

Figures.

You got something to say, Corey?

No.

I mean, I saw his truck,

I figured he was

a f***in' truck driver.

Wow, that's great.

So you're... cozyin' up

with truckers now?

That's f***in' great.

Why don't you keep

your nose on your face, huh?

- Mind your own business.

- That's so amazing,

it's amazing... I mean,

as long as I, you know,

long as I get my turn

once in a while,

I'm fine with that.

You are such an a**hole, Ty.

- Hey, Francine.

- What?

Could you grab me

some of that toilet paper

- and bring it home?

- Get your own toilet paper.

All right.

Thought you had

a handle on this.

You told Danielle you quit.

What difference does it make?

I always thought

it was a good thing

when a father wanted

to spend time with his daughter.

Well, my dad barely stuck around

after conception, so...

I'm not really

the person to ask about that.

But... it counts for something

that you're trying.

- You all right, Stu?

- Yeah.

Has Jenny seen this?

Nuh-uh.

Why are you here

in this shitty town,

running a diner?

What should I do?

Sell your paintings.

To who?

There's people

that buy artwork, right?

Not here.

Well, then move.

Can't move.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You should go to sleep.

It's been a long time

since you've been here.

Yeah.

Wanna stay?

You know...

you were the only one

that ever treated me

like a decent guy.

Well, you are a decent guy.

You're just really drunk.

When did you get so sad?

I gotta go.

Okay.

Okay.

You like good tea?

Mm-hm, thank you.

Did your kid draw these?

Yeah.

How old is he now?

He just turned 20.

What?

You do not look old enough

to have a 20-year-old.

I am plenty old.

Don't you miss him?

I mean, why didn't you

go back after Carl died?

My son with mama.

She don't want me come home.

He's fine.

Did you sleep

with the trucker yet?

I want to.

But we both know

how that ends up, don't we?

Stu is lonely man.

Don't matter who's with him,

he's just...

...lonely.

He'll never change.

Thank you.

You lonely now.

But won't always be for you.

Hello?

Hello?

D.A.?

Now?

I'm sorry it's such

short notice.

- It's okay.

- I've tried everyone else.

No, don't worry, it's great.

Um, I'll have my cell,

so call me,

for any reason at all,

and I'll be back tomorrow

by 5:
30.

Okay.

Have you been painting?

Nah.

All right. Be good.

Both of you.
