- I would love that.

Oh, you forgot your phone.

Just leave it.

Bye.

Aah!

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Oh, God, I didn't know anybody

was in here.

Can I help you?

Check this book out?

Okay.

Um, do you have a library card?

No.

Okay, well, do you live in town?

Yes.

Okay, well,

I need a proof of address.

If you could bring

in a piece of mail,

then I can give you a card.

You can put it on mine.

- Hi.

- Hi.

No, thanks.

I'll come back.

You sure?

Yes.

Sorry about last night.

I overstayed my welcome.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey, Emily.

Oh, God.

I just screamed in his face.

Oh.

It's all right.

Olivia left it.

You're my hero, dawg.

Hey, Fin.

You want a cold one?

So, what else?

Hey, Fin, I'm taking off!

Manana, baby!

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm searching the trucks

for the company name.

Well, these are trains,

not trucks.

The wheels on the trains

are called the trucks.

What grade are you in?

I'm finished with school.

Are you a midget?

No.

Where do you live?

In the depot.

My name is Cleo.

My name's Fin.

Bye.

Hey, Fin!

Wakey, wakey, baby!

Hey, I'll be at the truck.

Hey, Joe!

Big Joe!

What's up, fellas?

Oh, look at the stash.

Ron Jeremy.

Thank you.

I'll get your coffees.

You know how I like it.

- All right.

- Thanks, bro.

Hey, how's your old man?

He's doing better.

Hey, let me get one of those.

How long is he gonna be out?

Holy sh*t.

Look at that.

It's f***ing Mini-Me.

Hey.

"Da plane!

Da plane!"

- Fin!

- You know him?

Fin!

"Hey, boss!

Hey, boss!"

Shut the f*** up.

- Hey!

- What?

Shut up.

- Why don't you ease up, Joey?

- Two bucks.

- I got it.

- I'm light, man.

Okay.

Of course you're light.

Hey, Joe, we're still playing

softball every Friday night.

Why don't you come by, man?

You should bring

your little buddy.

How funny would that be?

Him walking up to the plate,

you know?

It's like, "Throw one in there!

Throw one in there!"

- All right, see ya, Joe.

- Take it easy, man.

Hello, Olivia.

Hi.

One cafe con leche,

extra sugar, coming up.

- Thanks.

- All right.

Gonna pop in on Fin?

What? Oh, no.

I just drove past him.

Where?

The pond on Lake End Road.

Tell you what.

This one's on the house

if you do me one favor.

What?

Do you like it out here, Olivia?

Yeah.

- What do you do for fun?

- I don't.

Me neither.

It sucks, right?

There's not enough cool people

around here, you know?

- Do you live alone?

- Yep.

Do you not like me or something?

Why?

You're not exactly pleasant

towards me.

Are you gonna say hi to Fin?

I gotta get going.

I know he wanted to thank you

for the book.

Bye, Joe.

Hey.

What's going on?

Olivia says hi.

She just gave me a ride.
