Sir, what can I help you with?

Do you know what time I was supposed to
leave this shithole?

Do you have any idea?

I'm not like you.

I've got places to be and a buck to
turn.

Sir, I've already told you your train is
going to be late.

Jeez, you heard of that big wreck?

Hell, be happy you weren't on that
train. When they get it cleaned up,

come and get you.

This is unacceptable.

I have been told they're going to give
you a complete refund of your ticket

money. Now just sit over there with the
others and be patient.

Remember, patience is a virtue.

Is that religious?

Do you realize you can be fired for
bringing up religion in the workplace?

But then again, who else are they going
to get to jockey a desk at eight bucks

an hour?

Oh, you got the bad news too, huh?

I was hoping to be home tonight, but I
guess that's not going to happen.

No, I guess it's not.

I heard 200 people died in that wreck.

I guess we should count our blessings.

I'm Janice.

I'm Mike. Nice to meet you.

You too. You said that 200 people died?

That is so tragic.

Yeah, I think we're going to be here
tonight. I went to use the desk phone to

call a hotel, but all the phones are
dead.

Self -service, too.

And these seats aren't the most
comfortable in the world. Not going to

a good night's sleep.

Well, I'm not too picky. I'm just happy
to have a roof over my head.

You were homeless?

You betcha. I did the whole starving
artist thing, but wasn't really a big

of the starving part, and now I'm
running with my tail between my legs.

It's kind of a humbling experience. My
dad actually paid for my train ticket.

How pathetic is that?

Not pathetic at all.

Not too many people have the guts to
take a leap of faith.

Those are successes, even if you fail.

You don't think so, sir?

You know, we tried to have a
conversation with you, and you ignored

now you want to make your little
gestures?

That's rude.

Rude? What about headphone girl over
there?

Did I miss anything?

Judging by that outfit, you're missing a
lot, young lady.

Go fuck yourself.

Um, so...

I'm Mike.

Dad's Janice. And this guy right here, I
don't really know his name, but he's

not in a good mood. My name is Douglas.

Douglas Atkins.

And I don't have a daddy to pay my way.

Time is money, and I can't afford to be
stuck here.

If I'm coming off as rude, I apologize.

But I see children as our future. And
looking at the two of you, I have high

doubts about humanity's chances.

Young lady, you don't expect to get a
job of any consequence with an outfit

that, do you? I don't need to conform to
your expectations or anyone else's.

I don't need to get a job that's going
to impress you. You have a lot of nerve

to judge me.

I'm trying to help you.

What is it that you do, Mr. Atkins?

I was a plant manager at a very
successful chemical plant.

But as luck...

And the economy would have it and move
to China.

I wasn't willing to relocate.

Not that they asked me.

So, I'm going to interview for a plant
manager job in upstate New York.

And now I'm going to be late.

You can never, ever be late for an
interview. It's the kiss of death.

I think they'll understand your
situation.

I sincerely doubt it.

Did they give you a severance package?
They gave me a royal kick in the balls.

After 25 years with the company, I've
got nothing. Trying to find a job at 55?

Let's just say I'm not in high demand.

You're no spring chicken. I know you
know what I'm speaking of.

No, I really don't. I've been a teacher
for the past 20 years.

What subject do you teach?

English to 9th graders.

My students are teens with that light in
their eyes.

Every once in a while you can have a
positive impact that will be life

for them and for me.

It's a great job.

So what do you do?

Lacey. My name is Lacey.

And I do whatever I can.

Which means nothing.

You collect a check, right?

Let me guess, bipolar, ADHD?

I don't collect a check. I actually
work.

I just don't stay in one spot for very
long.

I do whatever's open, and that includes
asking for a helping hand.

When I get to the point where I can help
those in need, I will.

But until then, I'll remain one in need.

Sickening. That means you're one of
those people that stands off at the

off -ramps begging for money.

There's plenty of jobs out there, young
lady. You don't need to beg from those

who have a job.

I have worked every job you can imagine.
And do you know what they all have in

common? They all paid shit. If you lock
yourself down to $8 an hour living,

you'll live that way forever.

That's why I panhandle, pal.

I've made money with it, and I've saved,
and I bought this ticket to New York

City. I'm going to see what I can do
there. To New York City?

They will eat up a little girl like you.
Go home to mom and dad.

Go to college. Get a career.

I'm on my own, Mr. Atkins.

My mom and dad were junkies.

And my foster father, well, he tried to
be a little bit too touchy -touchy.

So away I went, and here I am. So you're
here for a job in the city. You're here

for a job upstate. What about you,
Janice? What brings you out here?

You're going to laugh.

I'm actually going on a blind date.
Well, it's not really a blind date.

talked on the phone and on the computer.

But this will be the first time that we
sit down for a face -to -face.

But you're hot. Why do you need a dating
site?

I can find a guy, but I need somebody
that's stable and has a career. I've

picking through a pool of garbage.

The last guy I dated lived with his mom.

Yeah, not much for men in my neck of the
woods.

I'm afraid I have some bad news for you
all.

They're expecting a crane to come in,
but it won't be here until the morning.

I'm afraid you're stuck.

How could they call you if the phones
were all down?

One of the boys stopped by to tell me,
young man, don't take your aggravations

out on me.

The phone lines are still down. Is he
still here?

Do you think he could drive me or any of
us to a hotel or something?

No, I'm afraid not. He has to go
directly back to the crash site. I'm

So, what are we supposed to do now?

Well, it's not the end of the world,
sir. It's only for one night, and

vending machine the next room over.

Don't kill the messenger.

So, it looks like we're stuck with each
other tonight, whether we like it or

not. Our night's plans?

Conversation and vending machine food.

This is ridiculous.

Well, since I have a captive audience
here, there's been something that's

bugging me.

I had a dream last night. Well,
actually, it was more of a nightmare.

And it's just been really, really
bothering me.

So weird. I had a nightmare last night,
too.

Great. This could be fun. It could be
like campfire stories.

This is stupid.

Dude, look, if you're not interested,
don't listen. Just throw it out in your

little newspaper world.

Honestly, though, how many times can you
read that before you get bored with it?

Name is Douglas, not dude.

Okay, so, I was at my apartment.

And I was on this dating site.

Relax, it's just a blind date.

We've seen each other, therefore it's
not really a blind date.

Yeah, but you've never met.

I saw this program once where there were
these scammers that used other people's

pictures to try to trick them.

Well, that's not the case here. We video
chatted, so unless he's using somebody

else's face, I don't think he's a
scammer.

Can I ask you something?

You've never asked permission before, so
why start now?

Ask away, Steph. Why are you driving two
hours to see this guy?

You're attractive.

You have a great job.

You're as funny as shit.

I mean, can't you find a local guy? Oh,
I've found local guys. Remember Buddy?

Lives with his mom and dad, 45 years
old. The sad thing is, I actually gave

a shot.

And then there was your friend.

The one that told me I tanned well.

First thing out of his mouth.

So... I've been striking out here.

I'm done with this area.

What's so special about this Bob guy?

I don't know.

We just click.

He's had a bad run. I've had a bad run.

I just have a good feeling about him.

Make sure he wears a rubber. You never
know what people have these days.

You've got issues.

Why does everything have to turn into
something sexual with you? Hey, I'm just

looking after your best... In truth, the
last thing I want is for you to come

back here scratching your crotch.

I like this place.

My mother used to take me here.

Wow, that sounds pretty lame.

But my mom used to bring me here when I
was a kid and, well, memories are still

alive and well here.

Your mom passed away?

Yeah, she had dementia and...

She had it really bad, and she couldn't
remember anybody, including me, and I

couldn't handle that.

She began roaming the neighborhoods, and
eventually I had to send her to a

specialist.

It was top dollar, and I wasn't too
impressed in how they were treating her.

My dad, it was the same thing.

It's a terrible disease.

Look, I didn't mean to bring this
conversation into something depressing.

No, no. I'm the one who brought it up.

I shouldn't have.

I'm just really, really nervous.

Why?

Well, when we spoke on the phone and
online, there was like a wall there.

I felt secure.

But being here, face to face, it's just
a little surreal.

I'm usually much better at conversation.

What are you talking about? You're
great.

I'm a bundle of nerves over here.

I haven't been on a date in over four
years.

My wife left me.

I lost my job at the time.

I thought I'd be alone forever.

I became a hermit for a little while.

But then I began poking around the
internet and I found you.

So I'm your first internet date?

Yeah, and I was actually tempted to back
out of this.

I'm glad you didn't.

Me too.

So do you like the wine?

It's great.

I actually make wine.

I have a wine cellar.

It's a little hobby of mine.

Something to clear the head.

I find it quite relaxing.

That sounds really nice.

You'll have to invite me over sometime
for a glass.

Well, what about tonight?

Tonight?

I'm not sure if that's such a good idea.
Look, I haven't had the touch of a

woman in over four years.

And I probably wouldn't know what to do
if you just threw yourself at me.

This is just a mere invite to come over,
drink some wine, and sleep in the guest

room.

You've had a long drive and you have a
long drive back.

This wine's all I have and I got nobody
to share it with.

Well, how can I refuse that?

This is great.

So you're a teacher, huh?

That must be pretty nerve -wracking.

Not really.

It's the most rewarding thing in my
life.

It just really can consume you. It
becomes your life.

It makes having a relationship very
difficult, which is why I don't blame my

100 % for our failed go at it.

More around 90 % would be more accurate.

Well, we as people, we're always
growing, and you either grow apart or

together.

My ex -wife and I, we just grew apart.

It got to the point where we didn't even
know each other.

It was the means to an end, really.

She did me a favor.

What was that?

Ah, this old house.

It's constantly making noises.

Try sleeping here by yourself.

I sometimes have to hide under the
blanket.

I gotta take this. I'll be right back.

Hello?

I can't. I have company.

Okay. Okay, I'll be right over.

That was Greg at the office.

I gotta run real quickly. I sent him
some files and they got encrypted, but

be right back.

Just make yourself at home.

And I'll find the one.

3, 2, 1.

2, 1, 2, 3.

Each day to the next, to the next, to
the next.

Just counting forward, not to an end.

Oh, each day to the next, to the next,
to the next.

Hey, Steph.

Well, I'm at his house now.

I don't know.

I went on his dating profile, and it
looks like he's been talking to a lot of

other girls.

I'm just going to take it slow and see
how it plays out.

I'll be home sometime tomorrow.

Okay. Bye.

I ran out. I tried to go into your wine
cellar, but it was locked up tight.

Yeah. I got nephews, and bottles started
coming up missing.

Sorry about that.

So how did your work thing go?

Same old, same old.

It took me longer to get there than
actually get the job done.

Can I ask you something?

Of course.

Well, I kind of snooped and I saw your
profile on your computer.

I'm sorry I did that.

But you said I was the first girl you
dated?

You are.

Janice, I'm sorry. I've talked to other
females, but that's all I've done.

Once I met you, I...

Cut a bunch of them off, and I deleted
some, and they weren't happy about that.

Obviously, some have lingered, but I
could assure you, Janice, I'm a one

man. You got nothing to worry about.

I am so sorry.

I feel like such an ass.

I shouldn't have been so intrusive.

Don't apologize.

You're in new surroundings.

I would have done the same thing.

Would you mind if I slept on this couch?
It's really comfortable.

Absolutely.

Maybe in the morning we could get
breakfast?

I'd like that.

I do have something I want to say,
though.

This may sound silly, but... I think
there's paranormal activity happening in

this house.

I sometimes see things or hear things
that I can't really explain.

It's haunted?

You believe in hauntings? I believe in
ghosts.

When I was in college, I was part of the
ghost hunting team, and it was pretty

neat. Well, I guess you won't get scared
of anything that goes bump in the

night.

But if you really get scared, I could
sleep in that recliner.

I'll be fine. I'm a big girl.

I'll be upstairs if you need me.

Good night, Bob. Good night.

And I just want to say that tonight's
been one of the best nights I've had in

recent memories, and I really hope we
can do it again.

You can count on it.

Hello?

Bob?

Bob?

My son is such a wimp.

He always wants to let you whores go.

Janice, this isn't what it looks like.
Please, let me explain.

I don't give a fuck what it is. I'm
leaving and I'm calling the cops.

Ooh, what a nasty mouth.

It'll be a pleasure to slice those lips
off your face.

Listen to me. I love you.

We belong together.

And I know you know we belong together.

You're sick.

Your whole family is sick. No, listen to
me.

You love me, and I love you.

We're gonna make this work.

I love you.

I do.

I love you.

I am sick of you horse -racking my son!
But mom, I love her!

We gotta go. Let's go.

What? Why?

I was playing on the road, but we have
to go now.

Oh, you're so afraid of commitment.
You're gonna die alone, my friend. Get

from the door!

Whores! You're all whores! And all
whores must die!

You're not gonna corrupt my son, you
fucking slut!

They say if you die in your dream, that
you die in real life, right?

Well, I died in my dream, and here I am.

It was so scary. It just felt like it
really happened, but it couldn't have.

I mean, I'm still here.

What's so funny?

It's just amusing.

I have this worthless niece. She's into
all this psychic, new age, dream meaning

bullshit. She'd get a thrill out of
listening to this shit and analyzing it.

You know what your dream means, Janet?

It means nothing.

But if it does mean nothing, so what?

This world is full of dreamers. Too many
of them.

I worry about the next generation.

Everything starts with a dream, Mr.
Atkins.

Everything. If you can dream it, you can
do it.

And when are you going back with your
mom and dad? The American dream.

You've ruined it.

I wonder what you'd be like if you had a
job, Mr. Atkins.

I wonder.

You're no different than the younger
generations at this point.

You're mad at the world.

Mad? No.

Disappointed. I've scraped my entire
life to establish myself.

And they pull it out from under me
without a care, without a thought.

But don't worry about me.

I'll be okay.

Well, what'd you dream about, Lacey?

Well, although Mr. Newspaper doesn't
approve, I panhandle.

It's a new level of freedom.

You get a better grasp on the world when
you see it from that perspective.

I've seen the best and the worst in
people.

I've been yelled at and spat on, but
I've also been given food and money to

survive.

It's a great social experience.

But why New York City?

I would think that it would be much more
difficult to be there jobless.

I mean, there's so many homeless people
lying on the streets and begging for

money.

Why would you go there?

I plan to work when I get there.

The panhandling's one thing, but I've
heard there's soup kitchens and

and if you give them your time, they'll
give you food and a place to stay, and

that's good enough for me.

Good enough?

I'm going to say this because I have to
say this.

You're lazy.

Since when is good enough and good
enough? You've obviously got a good head

your shoulders.

Why would you waste your time in a soup
kitchen? How is working in a soup

kitchen a waste? Doesn't seem like a
waste to me.

Says a kid who can't make it on his own,
what, are you trying to cement your

free soup for the rest of your life? You
know, Mom and Dad aren't going to be

around forever.

Anything constructive?

Yeah, if you listen to my words. But if
you just want to sit around and tell

fairy tales about helping the
impoverished, then I don't want any part

Idiots.

Anyways, this dream sort of followed
reality.

I was panhandling outside of the store,
and everything seemed pretty normal.

But then it got really strange.

Thank you. God bless.

Didn't I tell you I didn't want you
here? Now get your shit together and get

hell out of here before I call the cops.
I'm not doing anything.

Look, I don't want a debate.

Don't you understand English? Get this
shit out of your ears. This is my shop,

you little bitch.

Now get going.

Fine, whatever.

I'm leaving.

You know, it's a shame that I have to
leave so early.

I mean, we both could have benefited.

How am I supposed to benefit from a
person like you?

Well, it looks like I almost have enough
to buy a chocolate cake.

And by the looks of you, you must love
chocolate cake a lot.

Go. Get going.

Get going!

Hi, can I help you?

Yeah, I'd like one coffee, please.

Black. Okay, anything else?

No, coffee will do.

folksy for a suit.

People take you more seriously in a
suit.

I tried the whole shorts and flip -flops
thing, but it wasn't working for me.

What are you reading?

Just some philosophy.

Different takes on this world.

Big question. Why are we here?

Really? That sort of feeds into what I
do.

You're a Jehovah's Witness, huh?

Let me save you this time. I'm not
religious, and I don't believe in the

invisible, magical man in the sky.

So, you're not open to...

Other ideas.

My hallway's open. I just have a
bullshit detector, mister.

The name's Jason Miles.

And I'm far too young to be called
mister.

Call me Jason, please.

Okay, Jason. What's your game?

My game is the oldest game in the book.

You're a hooker?

No, I'm not a hooker.

I've been entertaining the idea, but I'm
very concerned about disease.

That's a joke?

Apparently not a very good one.

No, it's all right.

Why are you here?

So many people look at this world as
such a cut -and -dry place, and the end

result is merely to get by.

But what kind of living is that? There's
no enlightenment.

There's only chasing the almighty dollar
and paying the electric bill.

I see the drones going to work 40, 50,
60 hours a week, rest up on the

then do it all again.

It's an infinite cycle of madness.

But then, then there are people like
you.

People like me?

I don't consider myself better than
anyone else. I really don't.

It's not a question of better.

I'm talking about being more in tune.

You see, you don't pick your destiny.

Your destiny picks you.

And you realize you were not meant for
this glorified slave work.

You were meant for more.

I knew it the moment I saw you.

You glow.

I like people who shine.

The more light I have around me, the
happier I am.

Look, I appreciate the compliments and
all.

I'm not looking for a boyfriend.

I'm sort of a wreck right now, and I
really need to sort myself out. What if

told you I have a connection to another
world?

I know why you're here.

I knew I would find you here.

I know why you keep this invisible wall
around you and why you won't let anybody

in. Look, I've seen cold readers before.
You're not going to dupe me.

The young lady wants proof.

So when I tell you your lucky number is
seven, you won't be impressed.

I don't blame you.

How about this?

When you were seven, your father died.

And that's when he came into your life.

The man who sent you into the spiral of
uncertainty.

How's that for a test?

How did you know that?

The other side.

People wonder why a great force would
confide in some people and not in

I wonder the same thing.

Thankfully, I am in tune, and I know all
about you.

I know what that deviant did, and I know
you've been running ever since.

You deserve better.

You deserve more.

Okay, if you're so in tune with this
other side, then tell me, what's my

stepfather's name? I bet you can't.

Edward.

And your mother's name is Nancy.

That philosophy book you're reading
isn't what you truly enjoy, but you

in a dumpster two weeks ago, and it's
better than nothing.

And you have a great big empty spot in
your heart, and you wonder why this

has treated you so poorly.

I'm here to tell you that struggling
ends now.

How?

I've started a small community.

I want to awaken this world to what's
really going on, to its true evil.

This wicked chase for a buck that these
mindless robots do every single day of

their meaningless lives.

Deep in your soul, you want to help
humanity.

Here's your shot.

What do I have to do?

Tonight, we have a meeting.

If you're so compelled, come.

If not, I'll know your answer and never
bother you again.

Maybe I'll see you tonight.

You must be Lacey.

I'm Brittany.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Oh, this is Wendy.

Hello. You are so beautiful.

Thank you.

Is this really it? I thought I'd be
walking into a full house.

This is an exclusive club. It's not an
open group.

If Jason didn't pick you, you wouldn't
be here, and he's incredibly selective.

You made it.

I knew you would.

This is a momentous occasion.

Tonight, our guest of honor is Lacey
Adams.

Lacey, welcome to our community.

And welcome to the new world order.

Now I know that term is thrown around by
many, but we represent the new world.

And soon our kind will consume it.

Each one of you has been an outcast from
this sewer of a society.

But together we find harmony.

Together we will no longer allow these
people to dictate to us what is the

Lacey, are you ready to break away from
these soulless masses and find a life of

meaning?

Yeah, I guess.

That is not the answer I seek.

You either do or you don't.

There is no guessing here.

Yes, I do.

Good.

Bring out the swine.

Lacey, I know you recognize this fat tub
of shit.

What is this?

This is what must be.

The crime against you is not the only
wrong Mr. Peterson has done.

Isn't that right, pig?

I didn't do anything.

Let me go, you crazy son of a bitch!

Jason, I don't want to do this.

Forget the norm.

Forget the laws made by swine like this
to protect swine like him.

Oh, Peterson.

I think our Lacey needs a little extra
convincing.

I know.

Why don't you tell her about the time
your daughter's friend Vanessa slept

Tell her what happened.

I don't know what you're talking about.
I didn't do anything.

Oh, can't cut your tongue.

He's just like your stepfather.

Do you think he'll ever see any
punishment?

That punishment is now.

Go ahead.

Ask him what happened.

Let me go.

Let nothing happen. Let me go. She
killed herself.

Because this pig couldn't keep his small
dick inside his pants.

Grab the blade, Lacey.

Remember. No.

No, no.

Grab the blade, Lacey.

No

What's wrong? You seem depressed.

This is what we're doing. Can't you see
that it's wrong?

It's never been more right.

You're breaking the mindset, this
brainwashing that society has placed

There must be justice.

There must be payment for debts owed.

Why must we be the executioner? It may
not be pretty, but in order to save

millions, thousands may have to die.

Jason knows what we need.

And I trust him.

You need to have some faith in him, too.

I don't know, Brittany.

I don't think I can do this anymore.

This isn't for me.

No.

Not anymore.

No more death.

Lacey.

I thought we had an understanding.

Jason.

I'm out.

I won't tell anyone, but I can't do this
anymore.

Would you like to know her crime?

I'm not interested.

Let her go.

Lacey.

You have made quite the decision.

Your good deed comes at a great cost.

That woman you set free will kill many
at an abortion clinic tomorrow.

She's done it before and she will do it
again.

The future must be the future and we
can't be the judges.

Only God can judge.

At least hit the snooze button a few too
many times because bad things are going

on down here.

Lacey.

I thought you understood.

I thought you wanted change.

Not like this.

I'm leaving.

Don't try to stop me.

Forgive me, Father, for I have committed
an unforgivable sin.

I took life.

My child, your soul is still pure
because you know what you did was wrong.

Now, we've all sinned before, and sin is
sin.

But those people are in a better place
now.

Though you still must go do the right
thing.

I know.

I'm going to turn myself in.

Excellent. And I'll always be here for
you.

In fact, I'll even come visit.

Can I have a hug?

Or is that wrong or weird or something?

A hug is never wrong.

Lacey, Lacey, Lacey.

We had such high hopes for you.

And then you come here.

And I thought you said you didn't
believe in any religion.

Well, the greatest trick the devil ever
played was convincing the world he

didn't exist.

It was the strangest thing.

I've never had a dream like that before.

This morning, I swear I saw Jason at the
station.

But I didn't have the guts to approach
him.

I swear.

It was him.

Wow. So how do you explain it?

She saw some guy that looked like her
dream lover, and she connected the dots.

It makes for a better story.

Women love drama.

That's not true. I think all people,
male and female, love a good story.

They didn't make soap operas for men.
They made it for fat housewives.

So, what dream has shaken you?

None. I don't get shaken, especially by
dreams.

We all dream, and I know you dream.

And judging by your charming
personality, I'm guessing you may have a

one every once in a while.

Let Mama's boy go next, and then maybe
I'll play along.

Why do you feel the need to insult
everyone?

You need a thicker skin, young lady.

When I clawed my way to the top, they
didn't have cop -outs like manic

-depressive, bipolar, or any other
bullshit excuses to collect a check from

hard -working individual like me.

We were a tough nation. You see what
happens to us when they cut our balls

Like, there's towelheads that fly
airplanes into our buildings.

You don't actually believe the official
story, Doug, do you?

It's bullshit, and you know it. My name
is Douglas, not Doug.

Nobody calls me Doug.

And yeah, I do believe.

What are you, one of those truthers?

You think they remote -controlled
airplanes into those buildings?

Amazing how dismissive you are about any
alternative information that makes more

sense than some religious nuts hijacking
a plane.

Explain Building 7, Douglas.

Explain Building 7. How'd that collapse?

You're an idiot.

I imagine you have Elvis in your cellar.

Moron. Are you going to entertain us
with your story, Douglas, or not? Not.

Mike here loves pure bullshit.

Let him tell his story.

What dream made you go running back to
Mommy and Daddy?

I'm sure they're very proud of you, by
the way.

Ignore him.

Did you have a memorable nightmare?

Yeah.

Funny enough, it was last night, too.

But I think it had something to do with
the weather, you know? People are very

different when there's a full moon and
all.

Jesus.

You see, I'm a writer by nature. A
compulsive writer, actually.

And I've been working...

on the next great american novel and the
results are mixed right now but uh see

i've read about 20 novels but i've never
been able to finish them i've always

run out of steam which i think is what
the dream has to do with see my mother

came in to tell me about this
opportunity while i was writing so how's

uh well i think i finally have some
momentum actually

Now, what's it about?

It's a love story, mostly. It's kind of
messy, though. Conflict sales, so I

might have some conflict in there, but
I'm ending it on a happy note.

Why didn't you use a goddamn rubber?

There's a line you don't see every day.

Yes, social commentary, Mom. STD
awareness, all that stuff.

So, it's your night tonight. Are you
going to finish the entire book?

I don't think I'm going to be so lucky
in four months.

Hello, baby.

Hello.

What are those?

Work raffle.

We're going to see your boyfriends
tonight.

I got tickets and backstage passes.

Twin obsession?

That rocks!

Mom.

Mom, aren't you a little old to be a boy
band and aren't you too old to use the

term that rocks seriously?

Hell no.

Let me loose on that Steve Adams.

I think I'm going to leave your father
tonight.

That is, if everything goes right.

I'll stick around if I can watch. Okay,
guys, I know you're just kidding, but

can you please lay off the sex humor?
I'm trying to eat supper tonight.

Okay, how about work humor?

Do you have plans tonight?

What?

Easy money.

My boss owns a cabin, and he has to take
off.

He wanted me to watch his place, but
I've got these tickets now.

So I pitched to him that my responsible
son could do it, and he was all for it.

I told him that you're a writer, and
guess what?

So is he.

You could do some networking.

Where is it? What's the job?

He's worried about his ex -wife coming
over and causing some trouble.

He doesn't want to leave his daughter
alone.

You're only going to house sit.

The girl will not bother you.

Nah, I'm not good with kids. Oh, you're
doing it.

Besides, she's not really a kid.

She's 15.

Which means she'll be easy to watch and
she's off limits.

I told Nate what an upstanding young man
you are.

And you need the cash.

Look, I know you want to write this next
great American novel.

But until you make it happen, you need
money.

If you impress him tonight, you can come
work with me.

He'll probably hire you on.

Alright, fine. What time do I have to be
there?

He wants you there at 7.

There's no crime in getting there early.

Hey.

Hey, you're David's boy. Nice to meet
you, Mike.

Nice to meet you, too, sir.

Call me Nate. You call me sir, I feel
ten years older. I feel old enough

already. Come on inside. I'll give you
the rundown. It'll be quick.

Clock's ticking.

Yes, sir.

Yes, Nate.

Thank you.

Sure. So your dad's going to see that
boy band tonight?

I wish he hadn't told me that.

I might have to inform the other
employees.

Sounds like they need to know.

Damn right.

Okay, listen, you're young, so I'm going
to let you know.

Women are nuts, and my ex is no
different.

Hell, my daughter's no different.

But I can handle her madness.

Helen, she's trouble.

I took a restraining order out on her,
but she still comes around once in a

while.

If she does, you can defuse the
situation.

Or if you prefer, call the cops. Haul
her sorry ass away.

Okay.

And my daughter's name is Crystal, and
she's grounded. So don't let her con

She can be trouble.

And if you get her talking, you're not
going to shut her up.

And if you see her on her cell phone or
computer, please let her know that she's

banned from those as well.

And if she doesn't listen to you, which
she won't, just let me know, and I'll

take care of it when I get home.

Got it.

Anything else?

Yeah, there is.

My trash has been getting rummaged
through, so I set up a camera thinking

see raccoons, but it was a... How can I
say this without sounding nuts?

Okay, come here. Let me show you.

Is that a bear?

No. It's something I didn't believe in
until recently.

It's a Sasquatch.

He's tried to get into the house a
couple of times.

They say they're standoffish, but not
this guy.

He seems to be an exception to the rule.

That's insane.

Have you sent this to the media?

In my position, that would be career
suicide.

So, no.

Okay.

Watch the house.

Have a good night. And this little
shindig I'm attending won't get me back

about 1. You okay with that?

That's fine. My bedtime's not until 2
anyways.

Okay, good.

All right, have a good night. If you
need anything, call me.

Got it. Have a good night.

Hey, I'm Mike.

Um, your dad cool with you drinking
coffee?

Only if I pick up all my Barbies.

Funny. So...

My parents are out singing Twin
Obsession tonight.

Oh, you must be very excited.

Which one of them do you like the most?

Which one of them do you have hanging
over your bed?

You're tough.

Not your type of music, I guess. Bingo.

Now, why are you here?

What? My dad don't trust me? I guess
not, but with any consolation, I'm not

to be a big brother. I'm just here to
house it.

I won't be in your way.

Told my dad I saw that thing, and he
tested me for drugs.

Cocksucker. Doesn't believe anything I
say.

Did Daddy tell you about the campers?

Campers? No, what campers?

We think Bigfoot killed him.

He found a bloody tent, but he buried
all the stuff.

He doesn't want his name being dragged
through the news.

Are you just fucking with me right now?

Afraid not. I mean, it's not like he
killed him. Bigfoot did.

So, I got nothing to do. You want me to
shoot the shit?

As long as you don't bring up twin
obsession, I'm fine.

So, smart move.

You sit next to a 15 -year -old girl on
the couch. You might get yourself in

trouble. Well, you know, Crystal, you're
much wiser than your years.

Parents, what up?

You grow up quick when you hear your dad
plowing some bitch in the dark.

The walls are thin.

Um, so how often have you seen the
Bigfoot?

Probably about once a week, but he's
usually off in the distance.

And he's found that trash cans are a
good place to find grub.

I say we just catch that fucking thing
and collect some reward money for it.

There has to be some reward money for
it. As I said, you're much wiser than

youth. Apparently you're wiser than me.

You're still right, though.

If we could catch this, we could sell
this, and we could be rich.

Why not try?

That's what I'm saying.

Oh shit, it's my mother.

What is she doing here?

I'll talk to her. Just call the cops.

Nah, I'll handle her. Don't worry.

There's no woman I cannot shot.

I'm Mike, and I'm just house -sitting.
Nate is away on a business trip. Oh,

bullshit, you're house -sitting.

You're fucking my daughter, aren't you?
So help me God, if you touch one hair on

her head, I am calling the cops and
having your ass arrested for rape. Ma

look, look, I'm just house -sitting.
That is all. Oh, bullshit, you

Ma 'am, what the hell are you doing?

You're not even supposed to be here.

I'm going to call the cops and have them
deal with you.

shoot you!

Your mother just hit me.

Ah, don't sweat it. She knows she did
wrong and she's on her way home now.

Don't call the cops. They suck.

Let's just focus on the task at hand.

Alright then, what do you want to do?
Does your father have like a big net or

something? Why the fuck would he own a
big net?

I don't know. I'm just brainstorming. Oh
yeah, well, he keeps it right next to

his invisible jet.

You know, one day it'll make some lucky
guy really miserable.

My dad has a gun, so I say we clip it in
the knees, drop the hairy fuck, and tie

it up with a rope.

It's pretty simple.

That works for me.

Oh, that prick!

If he touches my daughter, I'm gonna
kill him!

What? What the fuck is this?

I gave you one opportunity after the
other.

And all you did was disappoint me.

The same way Crystal disappointed Nate.

Isn't that right, Nate?

That's right. I tried to turn her
around.

But she kept going on that Facebook
talking to boys.

I'm not going to raise a whore.

Where is she?

What, are you one of the boys that
wanted to get into her panties?

Well, it's too late.

You know, we gave you plenty of chances,
but you just kept coming back.

Do you think me and your father want you
leeching off of us forever?

You came home to write a...

Stupid book.

And you sat on your ass for three weeks.

Did you know that when your father was
17 years old, he worked his ass off and

he was able to afford a house?

And what do you have?

You could even graduate college.

And then you leave us with a bunch of
school loans.

You want to know something, son?

Your free ride ends now.

Why didn't you just kick me out?

Dad!

Why this?

Why this?

Your mother and I want freedom.

Just like Nate wants freedom.

Freedom isn't free.

That's something your generation is
going to learn.

You sooner than most.

Like you two.

This was such an intense experience.
Like, I've had nightmares before, but I

could feel the knife going into my
chest.

It just felt so real.

That may be just a premonition.

I'm sure your parents are sick of you
running back to them with your tail

between your legs.

I'll keep my eyes on the obituaries.

Nice knowing you, kid.

Do you believe in Bigfoot, Mike?

Nah, not really.

I do. I know a friend who saw one.

Everybody knows somebody that's seen
something weird or unexplained.

This world is pretty cut and dry.

You live, you die.

The end.

What are you doing here?

Shouldn't you be reading a Bible or
jacking off?

Get lost.

Well, sir, I have some good news for y
'all.

But if you don't want to hear it, then
fine.

No, please.

What's going on?

I just spoke to my boss, and he's
arranging for y 'all to get a hotel room

the house.

The van will be here shortly.

That's good news?

You fucked me on an opportunity, and the
good news is you're going to put me up

in a flea bag hotel?

It's better than sleeping here.

Says a homeless junkie who's just happy
somebody's putting a roof over her head.

I am not a junkie. Don't worry, little
girl. The adults are having a

conversation here. Hey.

Don't talk to her like that. Don't
worry. She wouldn't fuck you if you're

last wannabe writer on the planet.

Sir, that's enough.

It's enough when I say it's enough, you
fat fuck.

The van should be here within the hour.

Can you believe the balls of that fat
fuck?

I mean, to first screw us like this, and
then to offer us a room in a fleabag

hotel like it's some kind of a deal?

What is the problem?

Okay, Lacey.

I'm sure that you're probably not a
junkie. You also insulted Mike.

What?

What do you call a cellar dweller that
lives with his mom and dad?

Deadbeat.

What is it you kids say? It is what it
is.

Okay.

If I tell you my dream from last night,
then can we be friends again?

I don't really care.

Yes, you do.

I have to admit, I find it strange that
we're all here on the night of a train

wreck and...

We all had vivid nightmares the night
before.

Douglas, I know you can't help who you
are, so I'm going to forgive you. But

we're going to be here for over an hour,
so there's plenty of time for you to

tell your story. Thank you.

Since we're all friends, I can share
this with you.

Missing that job interview wasn't the
greatest loss.

I've been on dozens.

And every one, there's a kid like you,
Mike, or you, Lacey, that's willing to

the job for half the price just for the
experience.

I have a mortgage and bills to pay.

I need a job. I need a good job.

I think that's why I had this terrible
dream.

It's 11 .15.

My appointment was for 10 .30. This is
absurd.

My appointment's at 11 o 'clock.

You know, when I ran my plant, I was
always on time.

If that's your expectation, then damn
it, you better meet it yourself.

Doug, I know you.

My nephew Alex worked for you for many
years.

Did a fine job running that company over
there. Well, that is until he decided

to pack it up and ship it off to China.
But that seems to be the way today,

doesn't it?

Unfortunately so.

You see those other applicants out
there?

Yeah, they look like they're right out
of high school.

Most of them are, my friend.

They're very green.

Me? I prefer to hire experience over
some piece of paper.

However, you gotta understand, I don't
own this company.

What are you telling me? You're gonna
hire one of them?

I ran that company for 20 years. For 20
years, it made money.

Hell, it was making money before they
bailed out.

Now, I can't find a job.

Doug, you don't have a degree.

You're behind the curve.

You gotta understand, guys like you and
me, we're dinosaurs.

I mean, honestly, how long do you think
they're gonna keep me around here?

Trust me, these assholes above me, they
don't tell me who to hire. But they do

tell me who to hire. Do you know what
I'm saying?

They keep pushing this.

Youth movement.

Where does that leave you and me? Our
generation?

The hard -ass, the old -school approach?

That's exactly what it is.

Old school, my friend. And that school
is out. My last year at Styrocon, they

brought in a sensitivity manager to work
with me.

Kid was 24 years old, right out of
college. Hell, he just moved into his

apartment. The hell did he know?

Everybody these days are victims.

You can't say or do anything without
pissing off some group or another.

But I'll tell you, I've been out of work
for six months.

I've pissed through my savings. I need
this job.

I need it bad.

You've got to give me a chance.

Look, they posted this job opportunity,
but they already had the position filled

before they typed the first word, okay?

I know how they treat guys like us in
this market. They treat us like shit.

However, that being said, I do have an
opportunity if you are interested.

It's an experimental project and it has
nothing to do with this company.

If it works out, the employment will be
there and you can make some good money

in this gig.

What is it and what's it pay?

Well, I'm glad you asked. You'll be in
data entry.

and the pay is $28 an hour.

Now, those kids out there, they'd jump
on this for $10 an hour.

But you know what I'm going to do for
you?

I'm going to attach a fancy title.

You're going to be data manager.

And again, $28 an hour, and you'll get a
six -month contract.

Why me?

Doug, why not you?

I've been beat down so much lately.

I guess I don't recognize an opportunity
when it presents itself.

Thank you.

When do I start?

Well, you start tonight.

It's over on 33 Main Street. It's the
Big Brick Building.

Check in over there. Get yourself
situated.

Do well, and this gig could turn into a
big moneymaker for you. Thank you.

You're welcome, Doug.

You're very welcome.

So, we're square for the month, right?

The month?

That fuck wasn't worth a week. You
bastard, you said we were all set.

Yeah, I'll be back tomorrow. We can, uh,
renegotiate.

Well, look who finally was home. Or
should I say, who finally answered the

I know I owe you money.

You know I owe you money. And you'll get
your goddamn money. I don't need your

bullshit.

You don't need my bullshit?

Really? Well, you wouldn't have my
bullshit if you paid your goddamn rent.

I got other people living in this
building.

They always get their rent in on time. I
ain't got no problems with them people.

The state pays their way. Those bottom
feeders.

When I moved in here, this place was
full of working -class people, hard

-working people.

Now you've got these scumbags in here
with ten kids, living for free.

What about me, Gilling? What about me?

I worked my entire life. I worked hard.

And somebody from another country comes
here and lives for free.

And you accept it because it lines your
pocket. Look, this is a business.

I don't care how many kids they have. I
don't care if they work, if they don't

work. As long as I get my money. And now
you are on your last chance. You either

pay up, or you get the fuck out.

I told you, you mental midget. You'll
get your money.

I start a new job tonight, and when I
get paid, you'll get your check.

That's good.

You're lucky I got a business to run. I
got a ways of dealing with deadbeats

that don't pay their rent. I don't think
you'd like them.

Did you just threaten me?

You did! You threatened me! You ever
threaten me again, I'll kill you, you

cocksucker!

Yeah, are you Douglas?

Yeah.

Good. You're early.

We like that. Now follow me.

That pile of forms goes in that
computer.

Gonna be working along with Lance
tonight. You have any questions, ask

Lance, this is Douglas.

Hi, Doug.

It's Douglas.

Douglas...

I'm the data manager.

Okay, data manager.

Go manage that data.

Get it done by 11.

Fine.

You need anything?

You okay?

Data entry, kid. I think I can manage
it. Just worry about yourself.

We're stuck here for eight hours.

Might as well make a little chit -chat.
I used to fire people for idle chit

-chat.

Conversation is a killer for
productivity.

Someday you'll understand that.

But then again, the way things are
going, probably not. I used to run a

shop. I encouraged it. A happy worker is
a good worker.

There is never truly a happy worker.

They always want more. You got to keep
them in fear for their job. That way you

get the most productivity and they will
not ask for a raise.

That's a really shitty way to look at
it.

That's reality.

You know, the way they built this job up
made me think it'd be more than just

two dudes and two computers from 1985.

It's strange.

He called it an experiment.

I'm sure at some point they'll expand
the job, hire more people, get better

equipment. No, but why are we even
inputting this stuff?

This is credit card data from 1987.

They want it. That's all that matters.

I'm just, I'm at a loss here. It seems
like busy work.

What's the matter?

Nah, nothing.

I can tell by your body language it's
something.

What's up?

It's just strange that the data they
have me entering here is on serial

At first I thought it was because they
were doing a research book, but some of

the information they are asking for
doesn't make sense.

Such as?

Well, you've got age, sex.

Number of kills.

But level of enjoyment.

What's that all about?

How can they rate level of enjoyment?

That's odd.

They rate it.

I wish there was an orientation or
something to explain the nature of this

Have you ever worked in a place where
they sit down two dudes in an empty

building with no supervision and no
other employees and then some goon

the door?

No.

Lance, you live with your parents?

No, I've been on my own since I was 16.

Really? What kind of work do you do?

Well, you name it.

I scrub toilets, I drove trucks, I mowed
lawns.

I managed a pizza shop until that place
went under.

It brought me here.

It's a struggle. Yeah, it's a struggle.
It stresses you out.

I kicked my landlord down the stairs
today. Not my best moment.

Landlord's worst of the worst. I'm sure
he deserved it.

Yeah, he did.

Do you know if there's any vending
machines or a lunchroom around here?

Are we even allowed to take breaks?

I've been working four hours. I'm taking
a break.

Well, I'm guessing there's nothing
around here, but...

We could probably order some pizzas, I
guess. Forget that. I know a grinder

right down the street. I'll go out and
I'll get us some grinders. My treat.

Really? Thank you.

No problem. You know, I pretty much lost
all faith in you today.

But you're out there and you're trying
to make it a go at it.

I have no problem buying you dinner.

Next time, it's my treat, though. No
problem.

I'll be right back.

Open the door. It's locked.

Get back to work. I'm taking a break.
Neither one of us has had anything to

You understand, you dimwit?

No wonder you work the door like the
mental retard you are.

I said get back to work. There are no
breaks yet. Now back to your desk. I'm

working eight straight hours without a
break. Now you have two choices.

You can open that door, or I'm going to
break it down. You break that door down,

and I'll be breaking you down.

Now, like I said, get back to work.

Guy in a mask.

Just dab Tony.

Right in the fucking neck.

You got a cell phone? Yeah, but I don't
have any signal. The building's so old.

There's no service.

If we go up on the roof, it'll work
there.

Why don't we just go outside?

Because the fucking door is locked in.
There's a madman out there with a knife.

We've got to let the cops handle this.

Okay, let's go.

Tell me why you want to live.

I have a lot left to offer this world.

All you have to offer is pain and
intolerance. You hate your fellow man.

You hate the young. You hate your ex
-wife. You have no purpose left in this

world and that is why you must die.

What the fuck? What kind of game is
this?

This is no game.

It's an experiment, remember?

See, I wanted to find me the most
miserable fuck that I could and push him

the limit. And you, you fit that bill
perfectly.

Dougie boy, you're nothing but slime, my
friend.

And this experiment, it's over.

What goddamn experiment?

What the fuck are you talking about?

You see, you had two choices here.

You could have learned something about
humanity, moved on to something greater

in life, a better understanding of what
we are, of who we are.

But instead, you opted to be this
miserable fuck that thinks the entire

world owes him something.

Well, you know what?

The world owes you nothing.

Underneath that...

Heart exterior lives a coward within
your soul.

You've made this experiment interesting,
but as I said, now it ends.

How much do you think you can take of
who you think you are before

gone?

No, no, please.

No, please.

Don't kill me. Don't kill me.

Please.

Weissman Dyson, boys.

Spill his fucking guts on the floor.

No. Please.

No.

No. No.

No.

No. No.

No.

Enjoy the job, Douglas.

The dream was just terrifying.

Don't you think it was your subconscious
telling you to be nicer to everyone?

I don't know, but I don't think I'll
ever be able to go on a job interview

without thinking about it.

Well, I bet the faceless mask guys
represent how you see everyone. All

worthless.

I'm not analyzing anything here, Lacey.

Wow, you called me Lacey.

Not young woman, not young girl, not
junkie.

I must have earned your respect.

You know, I may come across as a dick,
you know, once in a while, but I really

have a soft side.

As a matter of fact, I don't hate any of
you guys.

Well, that's good.

No hard feeling for you either.

All right, people.

Your ride is here.

Please exit that door in an orderly
fashion.

Wait, wait.

Yes, sir?

You and I got off on the wrong foot. I
know part of it's because you're not

the... brightest star in the sky, but
part of it's because I have such a low

threshold for idiocy.

So, I'm sorry.

Thank you, sir.

You people can meet your Rob Van in the
parking lot. It was nice having you.

Thank you.

Doug, you just insulted the poor guy to
his face. That was no apology.

It felt like an apology. I said I was
sorry.

And you called him an idiot. You
basically said the core of your problems

that he's too stupid for his own good.

Truth hurts, I guess.

We died in that wreck, didn't we? You
did.

Hello, Lacey.

Please, please let us go.

Go?

Go where?

I'm sorry to say this trip is non
-refundable and you can't give it away.

What the hell is going on here?

Hell is going on here.

But why me? Why? I didn't do anything
wrong.

You've all earned this trip.

Janice.

Lonely Janice.

So lonely that you thought comfort in
the arms of one of your young students.

And my little Lacey.

You haven't been totally honest, have
you?

Justifying stealing through necessity.

You even stole from your grandmother.

You left her no money for the pills she
needs to live.

And we both know what happened there,
don't we? Shut up!

Mike.

Mike!

You're not going home because of money
problems or failure in the real world.

Nah, you got spooked.

What if she told somebody?

What if she knew what you did to her
while she was drunk?

Best thing to do was to waddle away,
wasn't it?

Hey, I admit, those three are getting
what they deserve. But not me.

I'm not like them.

No, you're not.

Oh, Dougie Bear, you're my favorite.

Because you're worth it.

That hate deep in your soul has ruined
you.

It's a disease that you spread.

Oh, Dougie.

Misery loves company.

And misery is what you deserve.

It's what you all deserve.

And now it's time for the devil to get
his due.
