03:58My stepmom has some money.
04:14You want to see my room?
04:24Yeah.
04:33Wow.

07:10Harder, come on.
07:12Fuck him.
07:13Fuck him.
07:14Come on, harder.
07:43Fuck him.
08:13I won't waste my hard-earned money on rent.
08:15Fuck that.
08:16My house is free.
08:17As long as you follow the rules.
08:19Rules?
08:20You can't live without rules.
08:21Well, who makes the rules?
08:23I do.
08:25Camp only with people you know.
08:27All kinds of shit can happen when you're sleeping.
08:29Like what?
08:30We live in a transactional reality.
08:32Everyone is either buying, selling, or stealing.
08:34Information is fucking currency,
08:36so you don't give anyone anything that they can use to hurt you.
08:39Also, stay the fuck away from anyone who says they love you after like a day.
08:42Nobody loves anyone.
08:43Next, don't fuck with people, and they won't fuck with you.
08:46And if you do fuck with people, you're going to run into them again.
08:49So, actually, the rules should be don't fuck with people
08:51unless you're sure that you can beat the shit out of them.
08:54Is that it?
08:56No.
08:59Stay out of my shit.
09:04Come on.
09:12Come on.
09:30Go, Daphne.
09:43Come on.
09:50Yeah, I wasn't expecting company.
09:53Fuck.
10:11I'm not going to do it.
10:15Fuck off.
10:17Dude, I don't even know who you talk to.
10:19Come on, Daphne.
10:49Fuck.
11:20Fuck.
11:22Fuck.
11:48Magic trick.
11:52Dude, that's a five.
11:56Hey, you can't be here.
11:58Dude, you can fuck off. It's fine.
12:00Dude, I'm serious. No panhandling in front of my restaurant.
12:03Get going.
12:06Come on, get going.
12:09I'm leaving.
12:12Grab the cup.
12:21Sharing is caring. Thank you.
12:25You fucker.
12:34You're in my spot.
12:35Sorry, love. Early bird.
12:36Because they're drug dealing ass out of my fucking spot.
12:39Hold up. I know you.
12:40It's that chick I told you about that pulled a knife on you.
12:42You invaded my alley while I was sleeping,
12:44you crusty fucking wannabe.
12:45Yeah, I was looking for my shit you stole outside the coffee beans.
12:48It's duct taped in the garbage can.
12:49It was my inventory.
12:50What you took while I was getting busted.
12:52That's a bitch ass hole.
12:53If it wasn't me, it would have been someone else.
12:55Yeah, I see. It sounds like he paid his rent.
12:57You can have your spot back tomorrow.
12:59Hey, fuck you, man.
13:00Deal?
13:01Fucker.
13:03Hey, five-0, five-0.
13:07I apologize, you mean, mean lady.
13:10Fuck you.
13:11Fuck you.
13:20Step off your sweater.
13:21What? Why?
13:22It's yours.
13:23Okay.
13:42Stop.
13:47Got any applications?
13:50No.
13:58I'm not getting picked up for kidnapping.
14:00You're 16.
14:01I'm 13.
14:02Out here, you're 16.
14:03And we're getting rid of Ellie.
14:04But my mom said her name was...
14:05Close your eyes.
14:06Smelly Ellie does not even pass the playground test.
14:09What the hell were your parents thinking?
14:11It's better than tits.
14:13Yeah.
14:15Anything is better than tits.
14:18No appointments till three, bitch.
14:34This is the second worst day of my life.
14:36I was ranging in Echo Park and I'm cleaning up.
14:39Thanks.
14:40Got a week's worth of cash in my cup.
14:43And, like, there was this girl across from me on a bench
14:47and she had these 80s sweatpants
14:49and those, like, green plastic glasses.
14:51I'm like, is she a hipster or is she mentally retarded?
14:55And this cholo comes up to me, jacks my bank,
14:57breaks my nose, and I spent the rest of the night
14:59bleeding my face off under a giant mural of Johnny Depp.
15:07Wake up.
15:08Hey.
15:12What is that thing, anyway?
15:14Give it back.
15:18What the fuck are you saying?
15:21It's...
15:25I'm homeless. I have time.
15:28It's kind of beef or something.
15:30Stop.
15:37What was the worst?
15:40What?
15:41You said Echo Park was the second worst day.
15:43What was the worst?
15:59But that's a risk I'm willing to take because I love my customers.
16:02Here you go.
16:03Best dollar Pop-Tart this side of La Cienega.
16:06Nope.
16:07Drive your shit bucket back to the valley, Rob.
16:09What the fuck are you talking about, Tracy?
16:11She's a classic.
16:12You owe me a dollar for that.
16:13You want one?
16:14I got blueberry frosted, confetti cupcake,
16:17limited edition cinnamon roll.
16:19Fuck off.
16:20I told you, you don't split up.
16:22You didn't tell me that.
16:23You didn't have to be so harsh to me.
16:24I'm just helping the kid out.
16:25I promised he wasn't doing anything.
16:27Shut up. Sit down over there and take the chips.
16:29She looked hungry. I gave her a Pop-Tart.
16:32What a fucking monster.
16:34Jesus.
16:36Hey.
16:37I even got a flavor you might like.
16:42How much?
16:43Forty each.
16:49Twenty.
16:50Before I tell them you tried to solicit my sister.
16:54Twenty-five and we're friends again.
16:56Deal?
16:57I'm not your friend.
16:58I'm not your friend.
17:02Stay away from them.
17:03That's a rule.
17:04Okay, jeez.
17:28I love you.
17:58There's these things called tiny houses.
18:00They're really cheap.
18:04And we have the money from my stepmom already.
18:07We can save it up, right?
18:09We could have a place and, like, be a family.
18:13Except better.
18:17See, there's our garden.
18:20There's, like, a forest around it,
18:21so nobody would bother us.
18:25It's Vancouver, where my mom was from.
18:29It's only $50 to get there on the bus.
18:31Yeah, gee, I got it.
18:59Can't we just get food like normal people?
19:01Normal people pay 20 bucks for a bag of popcorn
19:03and some gummy bears.
19:06Eat.
19:12I'm gonna be sick.
19:13Come on.
19:15It's like a treasure hunt.
19:16It's not funny.
19:17It's disgusting.
19:18Fine.
19:21If my life's so gross,
19:22then I'm gonna be sick.
19:25If my life's so gross, then...
19:28just go back home, then.
19:29Wait.
19:30No, go back home to your fucking brother.
19:34Stuck brother.
19:40Shit.
19:43Go get a corn dog or something.
19:45No, that's for our bus tickets.
19:49It's for us.

22:40Um, do we...
22:42You taking good care of my baby brother?
22:52What the hell?
22:53Aren't you going to introduce yourself to a nice man?
22:56Go on.
22:57He doesn't bite.
22:58I'm wrestling.
22:59Uh, Kevin.
23:00Isn't he just the cutest thing, Kevin?
23:13So what do we, uh...
23:15It's 30 packs.
23:16Do you just show him what to do?
23:19All right.
23:22I'll wait for you across the street.
23:33Should I, uh...
23:39Unless you...
23:42You want me to watch.
23:46Oh.
23:47Wow.
23:48Okay.
23:49I...
23:50So this one time, Rusty did this thing, and it was really hot.
23:54Do you want to hear?
23:56Uh-uh.
23:57I'll take that as a yes.
23:58Okay.
23:59So it's winter, and we're living in Minnesota, and Rusty decides he wants to do an outdoor
24:05performance.
24:06And he climbs up on top of the garage, and our neighbor, this dirty little old man, is
24:11totally peeping on Rusty, like, totally violating his personal playtime space, you know?
24:18Anywho.
24:19So, Rusty strips down to his underwear and jumps off the garage and disappears like he
24:25fell off the face of the earth.
24:26I mean, this is bear country.
24:28Little naked Rusty could have been eaten by a big mean bear.
24:31Like Cujo, but a bear.
24:34You're getting close, Kev.
24:36Uh...
24:37In a rush.
24:38So our neighbor, he sees Rusty just waist-deep in a snowbank.
24:41He puts his little hands above his head, and he goes, ta-da!
24:44Well, the sight of Rusty there just made him laugh.
24:47He actually couldn't stop.
24:48I mean, he really, he really couldn't stop.
24:50So he had a stroke and he died, but...
24:53He died laughing, Kevin.
24:56Laughing in the snow.
24:58Oh!
25:04You're hilarious.
25:06Well, you obviously had no idea what the fuck you were doing.
25:09I'm Tracy.
25:10Rusty.
25:13There's a spring there by the boardwalk.
25:15Yeah.
25:17Yeah.
25:36It's not like we're, like, dating, you know?
25:39It's more than that.
25:40Yeah, it always is.
25:41I mean, he's got to stay behind in Oxnard until school gets out,
25:44but I don't even feel like we're apart, you know?
25:46I think I like Ashley.
25:47We knew, like, the first time.
25:49It was in the choir room.
25:50Kinky.
25:51Yeah, I know. I don't even like choir.
25:52Sophia?
25:53But then my fucking mom, she picked up the phone while we were talking,
25:55and she started asking all these questions.
25:57Ariel. Do you like Ariel, Tracy?
25:58We both got really scared. We both kind of freaked the fuck out.
26:00So he gave me some money.
26:02He told me to come out here and that he'd come and meet me.
26:05How long have you been waiting?
26:06Only, like, a month.
26:08So, Rusty, has Tracy given you a street name yet?
26:11I'm getting one.
26:12A street name?
26:13Yeah. Maybe we'll let you help us.
26:15Okay.
26:16Uh, name me your first pet in the street you grew up on.
26:19That's a porn star name.
26:20Pickles Washington.
26:21That's awful.
26:22I like it.
26:23Um, what's your favorite cartoon?
26:26Winnie the Pooh.
26:28Please not Pooh.
26:30I think...
26:33Eeyore.
26:38Nice.
26:39Eeyore.
