The first 200 lines.
I'm just trying to talk to you about it.
I'm just trying to talk to you about it, all right?
I'm not trying to blame you.
Obviously, I'm trying to blame you a little bit.
No! No! No! No!
I gotta finish this.
We don't need to keep talking about this.
But we do need to keep going.
All right. You can have a second to rest up.
- Want some water? - Yes, please. Water would be nice.
Don't! You tried to hit me. You hit me.
- No I didn't. - Yes you did. You hit me.
You see that? You strangled me. You had me in a strangle hold.
You're going to tell me you didn't try to hit me and strangle me?
I think we had a misunderstanding,
but if you thought I tried to strangle you, I'm sorry.
You did.
I'm sorry I broke your cell phone.
How long does it take to get to the everglades?
Four hours.
Maybe five.
We gotta take a route that don't make sense,
if you look at it on paper, but...
We gotta trip 'em up.
- We're going to Tampa. - Why Tampa?
'Cause I got a friend there.And... I think she can help us out.
She?
She got a boat?
No.
- But I gotta be alone with her. - Why?
Why do you have to be alone with her?
So no one knows we're together.
Sun don't shine
where'd you fucking throw that thing?
I'm sorry.
Do you see why we don't want to be putting stuff
on the side of the road like that?
- Yes. I do. I'm sorry. - It's okay, crystal.
- I am sorry. - It's okay, all right?
You ready to go get our sandwiches now?
Yes.
It's okay. You don't need a shirt.
I'll give you mine, all right. OK? Get back up here.
I'll give you my shirt. We'll go eat our sandwiches, all right?
Thank you.
You wanna just wait right here? While I go in for two seconds?
Sure.
- What were you doing over there? - I've gotta buy Marla a present.
Crystal, let's go.
- It's gonna take, like, two seconds. - Can we do this later?
No! I told her I'd buy her a present.
When?
When did you tell her you were going to buy her a present?
- Before! - You just talked to her.
No, I didn't!
Is that what you want? Give me the mermaid.
I didn't call anyone.
I don't think your girlfriend is going to help us.
She's not my girlfriend. I know you talked to your mother back there.
- Was she your girlfriend before? - No. Will you just admit that?
I wanna go to a motel.
I wanna go to a motel and make love.
Did you tell her you were with me?
You don't want to make love to me.
You were supposed to tell her you were at home.
You think I got fat.
Crys, I know you talked to your mom back there on the phone.
- Did you tell her you were with me? - No I didn't! No, I'm not stupid!
Fuck! I'm going to have to stop. Go damn it! I told you, Crys...
You want to take me to this woman's house so you can fuck her,
and you think I deserve it.
For dillydallying around right there, it's going to overheat again.
I gotta stop.
You wouldn't treat me this way if I had big fake tits and lips.
I could get a body like that and then all the men would want me
and you'd be sorry.
You know, that's what you want, isn't it?
You want one of those skinny girls in the magazines.
- I don't like those girls. - Yes, you do. Every man does.
You never would have tried to strangle a girl that looked like that.
I didn't try to strangle you.
You don't want to be with me because I have a daughter.
- That's not true. - Yes, it is.
My hips are big from having Marla and you think it's disgusting.
What do you want me to do? What else do you want me to do?
I never hit you. And your hips aren't disgusting,
and I don't like fucking fake model tits.
Your tits are fine. And your face is pretty.
Alright? If you want to be mad at me for helping you out on your dirty shit.
You know what this situation is?
You know how much I'm helping you on this fucked up situation?
Fuck.
Should we go?
We can't fucking go. We can't go anywhere.
Hey, sir. Y'all having car trouble?
Not much. We're in good shape.
Just had to pour a little water in the radiator.
I was broke down last week, on the side of the road for hours,
until somebody, an angel, pulled over and helped me.
So, when I saw y'all pulled over
I figured it was my turn to return the favor.
Sure, sure, sure.
Unfortunately we don't need anything like that, but thanks for helping.
- Y'all need a jump? - Nope.
Well...
I thought my car had overheated too, and it turns out, it was the battery.
Well, can't hurt to try. Y'all got jumper cables in the trunk?
No. There is nothing in the trunk.
Don't got any jumper cables in the trunk. Like I said,
I appreciate you're helping out, but this is a normal problem I have.
I just gotta put some water in the radiator and let it cool off.
I hear you. I got a tow truck guy.
I don't need a tow truck guy. If you can just put up your phone.
Just gonna sit here and let it cool off. Appreciate your help, but...
Suit yourself. I'll stick around at least until y'all get it started.
No good being stuck in this heat.
I'm in real estate and I was taking some clients to a property.
Had them in the car, the car starts making this weird rattling sound.
Eight weeks, since I had a sale. My first sale in eight weeks.
And I could not believe it, the car just craps out,
just totally shits out on me right there...
With the clients, in the car, in the heat.
I had a dog die on me once in the heat in the car.
They, uh, they got a zoo up therein Atlanta.
It's a real piece of shit. I mean, it was a piece of shit.
Olympics came through and cleaned it up.
They have this thing there called the cyclorama.
- Y'all ever been? - Nope.
It's this big piece of fabric.
They've got all these civil war battles painted on 'em.
Appomattox, all these other ones, anyway.
My parents took me there, 'bout five years old.
Got our dog in the back seat of the car. A big great Dane named Rommel.
I need to talk to my girlfriend alone.
No sweat. Go right ahead.
Crystal, get in the car.
Appreciate your help, sir.
Good luck.
- That man's going to call the police. - I'm sorry.
- I didn't know what to do. - It's not your fault.
You were acting a little bit alarming, but it's not your fault.
Put this shirt on I bought you. We gotta get out of here.
- Baby? - Yeah?
I think that maybe we should go to a motel.
Just so we can get off the road.'Cause if that guy called the cops
maybe they wouldn't be looking for us there, you know?
We can't go to a hotel. We've got too much to do.
We've got to get to Terry's bar by sunset.
I don't want to go to Terry's bar.
I just want to lie down in a bed with you.
I just want to go to a motel and sleep with you.
- Did you put the shirt on? - Yeah.
We can't go to a motel, hon.
What are you doing?
I need to get this out.
Do you want help?
Yeah.
- Why are you doing that? - I have to get all the blood out.
Help me.
I love you.
Do you think your plan is gonna work?
I do. I think your plan is gonna work.
I'm not good at making plans. I'm better at being spontaneous and stuff.
I think that's part of why we're so good together.
I need to know what you told your mom when you dropped Marla off.
I told her that Greg and I needed some time alone, like a vacation.
Where did you tell her you were going?
I told her I didn't know yet.
But I told her that people were after him, like you said to say.
You called her when we were at the store?
No.
I thought about it.
I just missed her little voice so much,
and I picked up the phone...
But I changed my mind, because I knew that you really didn't want me to.
And I knew that you were right.
It's not that I don't want you to.
It's just that we gotta be smart right now.
I know.
When we build our house in Mexico or north Carolina,
like you wanted, near your mom's,
I was thinking that maybe you could plan the whole thing
and you could build it, but I could be in charge of decorating it.
And everything will be nice and clean, and there will be tile and everything,
and nice white walls, and I'll keep it clean, everyday,
with bleach, if you wanted me to.
Then I was thinking that you could have some room in the backyard
for all of your tools and things.
And you could do everything that you like to do back there.
But then I could have a special room for Marla and myself
to do what we like to do,
and to decorate it with, you know, things that she likes.
Like, baby dolls and mermaids, and princess things. And then, also,
she's really into dinosaurs right now for some reason.
I don't get it. I don't know.
I guess they're doing some lesson at school or something.
I mean, she can come later, once everything is safe.
She's better with your mom right now.
I want to go on a boat with you, or an airplane.
We've never been grocery shopping together, that'd be nice.
