[WATER GUSHING]

AMANDA: Did you ever dream
about someone

before you saw them in life?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

AMANDA: Sort of like
you made them up

but you didn't.

They really happen,
things like that.

Strange, amazing things.

I swear they happen
all the time.

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

Lo, get up.

LAUREL: No.

Get up.

Ugh, Christ,
is it raining?

Sort of.

I thought
this was a park.

At night,
it looked like a park.

AMANDA: Yeah.

What if we were
in Italy?

That would make us Italian,
right?

Or we could be French girls
living in Italy.

Just enjoying the food
and the lifestyle.

Yeah, except we're
in someone else's yard

and we're starving,
so hurry up.

Starving French girls,
all right?

MAN: Hey.

Shit.

MAN: That's my lawn
you're parked on.

LAUREL: Yeah, it's nice.
It really is.

MAN: I think
you better get off it.

LAUREL: No problem.

MAN: I think
you better get off it now.

I just said no problem.

Sorry about your lawn.

MAN: What was that?

AMANDA:
I always liked traveling.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

AMANDA: The day our mother died,
Lo hid the station wagon

behind the garbage dump
just in case.

That summer, she ran away
from her foster family

and so-called kidnapped me
from mine.

She said it was up to her
to save me

from low quality families
like the Gordons.

I didn't think
they were that bad.

Except for making me sleep
in the garage.

But I'd rather be with Lo
any day.

She's my sister

and she's good people.

Do you want some?

Do you know what this is for?

Thanks.

Okay.
She's not the owner.

Didn't think so.

Lo, they make this stuff
out of horse hoofs.

Really?

Truly.

Go check the milk.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[DOG BARKING]

AMANDA: Lo used to say
that there were people

who were born the family type

and people who weren't.

And there was no use
feeling bad about it

if you weren't.

[GLASS SHATTERS]

AMANDA: She said that
since our mother

was never the mother type,
that just meant me and her

were the naturally
independent type.

With a special knack
for traveling.

That's why she planned
on becoming a stewardess.

And how you are today?

AMANDA: Fine.

Would you like something
to drink, gentlemen?

Sure.

Luckily, she had a natural gift for turbulence.

Okay. And what about you,
little girl?

Lo, get off.

LAUREL: What?

I have a cramp.

-LAUREL: Already?
-Lo, get off.

Okay.

LAUREL: Could I ask you
a question, Manny?

When are you gonna grow out
of this shit?

We're running out.

We got to get some more
tomorrow.

LAUREL: We have Right Guard
in the car.

Well, she didn't smell
like Right Guard.

Yeah, you're right.
She didn't.

You know why?

Because she fucking smelled
like this.

What's wrong with you?

[RUSTLING]

You wanna take my side?

Really?

For tonight.

AMANDA: There's things
you can notice or not notice.

Like your own eyelashes

or certain bugs singing
in your ear.

Lo could keep from noticing

something longer than anybody.

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

That's how we acted
all carefree for so long.

Just being two girls
on the go.

If you got a car
nobody knows about

and you know how to borrow gas
with a hose,

you could travel
for a pretty long time.

Hey, Joey.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

AMANDA: We just stuck to Lo's
number one rule.

Keep moving
and you won't get nailed.

Thanks.

I didn't do it for you.

I know

but thanks anyways.

I got you something.

What is it?

It's a present for you.

Serious?

Open it.

What is it?

It's a blouse.

Try it on.

What for?

I don't know.
I just--I wanted to see

what it looks like
on you, so...

What do you think
it'd look like?

I don't know.
I think it'll look different.

No, I mean, you know,
and I mean,

nice, you know.

Fuck you, Joey.

Why?

-Fuck you, Joey.
-Fuck me, why?

I didn't--I didn't mean
anything by it.

-I'm just...
-Come on, Manny. We're going.

JOEY: Wait,
where are you going?

Listen, I'll get you
another one.

I'll get you one
with a different pattern,

a different blouse
or something.

Where are you going?

I love you.

LAUREL: Hurry up, Manny.
I wanna practice.

I got a new stewardess tray.

I don't feel
like it tonight.

LAUREL: Why not?

I just don't.

LAUREL: Why not?

Because it's--

well, you're too...

Too what?

You're too...

LAUREL: Are you calling me
fat again?

Lo, maybe it's not that,
maybe...

Okay, okay, so I'm fat,
all right, I admit it.

And maybe it's not such
a mystery, Manny.

Maybe it's not such
a big fucking surprise.

Read that.

-AMANDA: What?
-That.

Egg whites, sugar,

partially hydrogenated
vegetable oil,

corn syrup solids,
starch.

This is the kind of crap we eat
every single damn day.

The thing is

I know I can lose the weight
anytime I want.

All it takes
is willpower right?

And who's got more willpower
than me?

No one, Lo.

Damn straight.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Shit.

Suzie?

-Right.
-Georgine.

We haven't seen you around
here before today,

have we, Suzie?

No, first time.

So how are things going?

Great.

Good.

You know, you guys
didn't have to give me

that urine test thing.

I already know
what the deal is.

The deal?

I'm pregnant.

Yes, you are.

Well, that's why I'm here,
to get it taken care of.

Taken care of?

Look, if it's a sin, I guess
I'll find out when I die,

but it's not like
I have a choice really.

Because, like I said,
I'm pregnant.

And you passed
the last turn back spot

a good while ago.

You could have
that baby tomorrow.

Are you gonna do
what I want or not?

Why don't you

sit down here a minute
and we'll talk.

You and me, we have a lot
of catching up to do.

I didn't come here
to talk.

You know what we need?

AMANDA: What?

We need a place
in the country.

Some place we can hang out
for a while

without people finding us.

That way,
we're just not floating around

when this thing hits.

All's we need
is a little stability, right?

Sure.

LAUREL: Until it's over
and then we can move on.

Now which way to the country?

I'd say it's that way.

Sounds good.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

What if mom was here
and we told her

you were having a baby?

What do you mean here?
Like a ghost?

No, I mean still alive

sitting in the back seat,

just talking to us
like normal.

What do you think she'd do?

Depends.
Is she drunk or stoned?

Come on, Lo.

Listen, how do I know
what she'd do, Manny?

Why do you always
wanna ask me

stupid questions
like that?

She'd give you
a nice big hug, that's what.

Yeah, I guess she would.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

LAUREL: So how long
have we been on this dirt road?

Thirteen minutes,
forty seconds.

How long
since the last house?

Same.

And you're sure
you saw a mailbox?

Positive.

I guess some people really take
the privacy thing serious.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Go see if someone's home.

AMANDA: What if they are?

I don't know.
Tell them you're selling cookies

-or something.
-What kind?

Chocolate?

Just go.

AMANDA: Hey, Lo, come here.

Wasn't even locked.

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

You know, I think
people are living in this one.

Not now they're not.

This is a winter house.

These people won't be back
for a while.

How do you know?

You see those skis?

Yeah.

You see any snow?

No food in the fridge,
not even plugged in.

Plus tons of cans,
soups and shit.

Winter food.

Go check the beds.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Tomorrow,
I'll find a baby type store

and get some of the stuff
we need.

AMANDA: Like what?

Like a book.

We have to start studying up
on this thing.

I saw a cat do it once.

-LAUREL: Yeah?
-Uh-hmm.

Nine kittens
in ten and a half minutes.

See, it can't be that hard,

compared to all
the other stuff we do.

And she had mange.

Yeah, at least I got that
going for me.

No mange.

You know, you think
they could've at least gotten

a dish out here.

Go see what videos
they've got.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Born Free.

Seen it.

To Sir with Love.

Seen that, too.

How about Welcome Tiffany.

Welcome Tiffany?

AMANDA: Uh-hmm.

Never heard of it.

Well, it can't be that bad.

[WOMAN MOANING]

MAN: Okay, Hon?

AMANDA: Look at that woman.

MAN: Just relax.

I bet that's Tiffany.

Lo, look, see?

WOMAN: My God.

I can't.

-I can't.
-Lo.

Lo.

[WOMAN SCREAMING]

AMANDA: I say we watch
To Sir with Love.

WOMAN: No.

This one looks good.

It has lots
of pictures and stuff

and it has sketches.

Look at this.

You can hear a baby crying
200 yards away.

Let's try.

Say something, Lo.

Go ahead.

ELAINE: Basically, there are
really only three choices,

a disposable, fabric,

or diaper service.

Of course the disposable
are very, very convenient,

but they are not biodegradable.

And of course
it's gonna be much better

-on the baby's skin.
-Come on, let's go.

ELAINE: A closure.

-We have...
-I said let's go.

Just a sec.

ELAINE: So if you wanted to go

with the diaper gift,

those are your options

and there is one particular one

I could recommend
if you want.

-It's adorable, isn't it?
-Uh-hmm.

Unfortunately, babies like
to be rocked head to toe,

not side to side.

I don't know why
Connie carries a floor cradle

because, even with the most
casual rock,

you can inadvertently fling
a baby up

against the side
of the cradle

and shake it
like jello.

Frankly, if you're dead set
on rocking,

I'd get a rocking chair.

Thanks.

-Hello.
-ALLISON: Hi.

-Will this be all?
-Yes.

Okay.

Is this for your baby?

Yes, it is.

I think you're gonna want
the pink sleepers.

Oh, that's okay.

I'd rather play it safe.

Well, I can tell you,
I've never been wrong once.

-Not that there's any signs...
-Wow, did you ever see anybody

who knew so much
about babies?

ELAINE: But, no,
I've never been wrong yet.

Not even once.

-Knock wood.
-Excuse me, hi.

-Hi.
-I'm Connie.

And this is my store.

-I'm Allison.
-Hey, Allison, hi.

And this is my Aunt Elaine

who helps out when she can

and we're very grateful
to have her.

Elaine, I think that Allison
was interested

in the yellow sleeper.

Okay.

-Yeah. Hey, how are you?
-Good.

So, I'll be back
in the morning, Elaine.

-Okay.
-Uh-hmm.

ALLISON: Thank you.

Maybe you could ask her a
question, Lo.

ELAINE: Gently.
These are fully exchangeable.

Go ask her a question.

Still seems wrong
just to take her.

LAUREL: Come on, we take stuff
from stores all the time.

AMANDA: Lo, that's not funny.

Listen, you want me to go
to the hospital

and get busted or do you want me
to do it myself

and fucking croak?

I don't want you to get busted
or fucking croak.

All right then.

Besides, we're already wanted
as it is, remember?

I'm sorry but we're closed,

you'll have
to come back tomorrow.

I can't.

Do you know exactly
what you want?

-Yes.
-All right. Well hurry.

How can I help you?

I need a country critter.

We have country critters.

We have them in two styles.

Over there, we have
the stuffed animal style.

And then back here
in the back,

-we've got the hand puppet--
-Freeze, it's a gun.

All right.
Put your hands up.

I mean it,
put both hands up.

Manny, get that thing
in her mouth.

[HUMMING]

And quit humming,
damn it.

I mean it,
no fucking humming.

All right.
Get her legs.

Now get a card.

Any damn card.

Say some cousin of yours
is sick.

Some cousin in France.

No, don't write that.

How about,

"Dear friends,
I need a vacation.

Love Elaine."

All right.
Go ahead.

If you're foolish enough
to believe

you can get money
this way,

you are sadly
mistaken.

I don't want your money.

Well, what do you want?

Come on, Manny, let's go.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Go see what she's doing.
I'll cover you.

Elaine?

I hope you slept okay.

I put some music in here
for you.

See?

Some people like music
when they sleep

or you can play it
when you're awake,

if you're bored or...

just feeling down.

SINGER: ♪ ...sister flow,
sister, hey, sister, go♪

AMANDA: Well anyways,
my sister just wanted to know

if you were okay.

Please tell your sister

that I have many relations,

friends, and colleagues

who rely upon me daily.

Not one of whom
will take my absence lightly.

Therefore, I'm not the one

that she should be
concerned about.

Please tell her that for me.

-Okay.
-ELAINE: Thank you.

-She said that--
-I heard what she fucking said.

Lo?

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

AMANDA: Elaine, hi.

Look, ready?

I'm an alien.

Woo.

Oh, come on, Elaine, laugh.

She still won't eat.

So get a spoon
and feed her.

I already tried that.

I think she's on
a hunger strike.

-A what?
-A hunger strike.

Lo.

Lo.

There.

I do not give in
to criminals.

I don't care
what type of drugs are involved,

or so-called religious rituals,

or what have you,

I do not give in
to criminals.

Fine, then starve.

And I do not
take vacations, ever.

It is a well-known fact.

You have to go to bed sometime.

I can't believe
I listened to you

about that vacation thing.

AMANDA: I said I was sorry.

I didn't know.

Go check the bathroom.

She's been in there a while.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

ELAINE: [SIGHS]

Still on one for the first one,

she's on fifteen for the second.

So how many combinations
does that leave?

Around 22,000.

All right.

Now you're gonna
keep on checking

-twice a day.
-AMANDA: Right.

-That's your job.
-Right.

LAUREL: And you're gonna tell me
when it's time

to change the lock.

When she gets
to 15, 22, anything.

And you're not gonna let her see
you're checking either.

You're gonna let her think
she's getting somewhere.

Give her a feeling
of accomplishment.

Right.

That way,
maybe she'd chill out a little.

I bet she'd chill out
if you'd just talk to her,

you know, explain the situation.

LAUREL: First she chills out
then I talk to her.

When she knows who's boss.

I think you should talk
to her now.

Well you're not
the boss either, are you?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

AMANDA: One nation under God,
indivisible with liberty

and justice for all.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag

of the United States of America,
and to the Republic

for which it stands, one Nation
under God, indivisible,

with liberty
and justice for all.

I pledge allegiance
to the Flag

of the United States of America,
and to the...

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Is this yours?

Thanks.

[FIRE CRACKLING]

Is that your house?

Yup.
That's my room,

that's my fort.

And there's my bike
over by my room.

What's your name?

What's yours?

Ben.

But you can call me Chuck.

AMANDA: What's wrong with Ben?

Nothing.

I just like Chuck.

Oh.

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

BEN: Take one.

They're signed.

I'm Tiffany.

Where do you live, Tiffany?

Oh, up the creek.

Is that your mom?

BEN: Yeah.
That's the one.

She's making Sloppy Joes.

I told her
I was in a Sloppy Joe mood.

So, she's making them.

That's weird.

What?

I'm kind of in
a Sloppy Joe mood, too.

Really?

AMANDA: Yeah.

Hmm, that is weird.

Well, maybe I could eat over.

My cousins are coming.

Well, I like cousins.

I mean,
there's probably not enough.

Oh.

[CROWS CAWING]

I got to burn
some more stuff now.

You want me to come over
tomorrow to your house?

No. That's okay.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Whatever then.

Take care.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[GLASS SHATTERS]

[CROW CAWING]

-Where the hell have you been?
-Nowhere.

You didn't talk to anyone,
did you?

No.

Didn't do anything stupid
or weird, did you?

No.

Better not.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

We're going out for supplies,

but we'll be back sooner
than you think.

So, don't even try
to do anything.

There's no other houses
around here

and it's at least five miles
to the main road,

right, Manny?

It's four and a half.

Plus, there's broken glass
all around this place.

Manny, show her what you got.

[SIGHS]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

That's every shoe
in the house in there.

What else?

Stuff you could turn
into a shoe

if you're really
super desperate.

Now there's a bucket
on the floor

in case you need it.

Let's go.

Here,

in case you wanna call off
hunger strike

and...

since you already know
about music, so...

[MUMBLING]

I don't know.
It seems sort of like

a lame idea to me, Manny.

Well, you're the one
that's gonna keep the baby.

No way we're keeping this baby.

Then you just have
to choose somebody.

What about that family
on the Castle Hall?

They look okay to me.

You think they look okay?

I think you're cracked.

What's wrong with them?

LAUREL: Check out the way
the mom swings her butt

every time she hits the ball.

Do you think you can trust
people like that?

We've got one
or two mothers out there

that aren't that crappy.

And if I have to choose one,

I'm not gonna be choosing
a crappy one.

AMANDA: Oh, shit.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[CAR ENGINE TURNS OVER]

[CAR ENGINE REVVING]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Connie's Connection.
This is Connie.

Is Elaine there?

CONNIE [OVER PHONE]:
Who's this?

-Barbara.
-CONNIE [OVER PHONE]: Who?

Barbara.
I'm a friend of Elaine's.

CONNIE [OVER PHONE]:
Oh, sorry, Barbara.

Elaine is not here.

Really?

Do you know where she is?

She's on vacation.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

CONNIE [OVER PHONE]: Hello?

Do you know
when she'll be back?

CONNIE [OVER PHONE]:
I really don't.

You know,
to tell you the truth,

are you a new friend
of Elaine's?

LAUREL [OVER PHONE]: No.

You're not from the church,
are you?

LAUREL [OVER PHONE]: No.

Well, do you think
that you might be

hearing from her
any time soon?

I don't--I don't know.

CONNIE [OVER PHONE]: If you do,
I'd like you to give her

a message from me.
Would you do that?

Sure.

CONNIE [OVER PHONE]:
Please tell her

that this business
has many financial backers.

And I'm personally
responsible to them.

I can't afford to have
unpredictable people

working here,
even relatives.

It's not that
I don't have sympathy for her.

I do.
And I think--

Get in the car.

How do you know
it was tapped?

I know she was fucking with me.

I know that.

Don't drive that way.

You're squashing the baby.

[CAR ENGINE REVVING]

AMANDA: Why are we parking
in the trees?

Keep it down
until we know it's safe.

Shit.

No, stop it.

LAUREL: [COUGHS]

Shit.

My God, you are pregnant.

Jesus.

You're gonna have a baby.

What the fuck
would I need you here for

if I wasn't gonna have a baby?

Shit.

Shit.

You're gonna have a boy.

What?

I said it's a boy.

And I've never been wrong once,

knock wood.

What are you doing
smoking when you're pregnant?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[CROWS CAWING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

AMANDA: What do you think it is?

LAUREL: I have no idea.

ELAINE: It's called hot dish

and it's for eating,

not poking.

I believe kidnap victims

have just as much right

to a balanced meal
as anyone else.

And if I'm not mistaken,

the same holds true
for innocent babies.

If you two benefit
in the process,

well, that can't be helped.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

It's good.

[COUGHS]

You know Connie?

ELAINE: My niece.

Right.

How come she doesn't wear
that nurse type thingy

like you do?

Oh, Connie
has many fine qualities,

but I'm afraid she has no

nursing experience whatsoever.

That place we worked?

That's the Rice Springs
Convalescent Home

where I performed
any number of medical tests

while my father resided there.

AMANDA: How come you're not
wearing the same outfit

as the other nurses?

[SIGHS]

It was a formality.

A what?

I keep the majority
of my photographs at home.

And I would sincerely hope

that you would honor
my right to privacy

even as you hold me here
against my will.

Can I have this picture?

ELAINE: Excuse me?

AMANDA: May I have this picture?

Please?

Well, I suppose you may

for the time being.

AMANDA: Thanks.

ELAINE: Amanda?

I have two things
I wanna say to you.

Number one, crime does not pay.

And number two,

while I cannot condone
this kidnapping

because a number
of innocent people

have suffered from it,
not just me.

But I do think
you're a very fine young lady.

AMANDA: Really?

Thanks.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

ELAINE: Who is it?

It's Laurel and Amanda.

ELAINE: Come in.

It's like he's having
a spaz attack in there.

It's not kicking either.

No.
It's too rhythmical.

I'd say it's hiccups.

Shut up, Manny,
I'm asking Elaine.

Well, I've seen it before.

Is it bad?

It can be.

What should I do?

Put your head down here.

Come on.
Put your head down there.

Then I want you to put
your knees on your elbow.

LAUREL: Like this?

I'm afraid so.
Okay, now,

Amanda, please tell me
when exactly

12 minutes have gone by.

That will be 10:34.

ELAINE: I'll be putting
on some water for tea.

So how is it, Lo?

Shh, I think it's working.

I'll be in the other room
if you need me.

Hey.

Thanks, Elaine.

You're welcome, Laurel.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Oh.

[EXHALES]

So how soon
do you think it'll happen?

Oh, I think he's got to cook
a little while longer.

I hope to shit
he pops out early.

Laurel, there is nothing
more frightening

or dangerous
than premature labor.

A woman should stave off labor
as long as she humanly can.

How is she supposed to do that?

ELAINE: Well, for one thing
she can stop wishing for it.

What else?

Avoid certain things
that bring it on.

LAUREL: What things?

Hmm, rich spicy foods,

excessively long showers,

soda pop,
tight underwear,

dancing.

No dancing?
Really?

Especially no hard rock dancing.

Damn.

And I was really in the mood.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Why don't you go get your sister

a glass of water,

okay?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

AMANDA: Lo, did you hear
what I said?

She's been on 43914
since Saturday.

You must've messed up somewhere.

AMANDA: I didn't, I swear.

Listen, just because
she chilled out lately

doesn't mean
you can start slacking off.

Maybe she just rather
stay with us,

did you ever think of that?

LAUREL: Rather stay with us?

Are you saying
she's some kind of a weirdo?

AMANDA: No.

Then give me one good reason
why someone like her

would wanna stay
with someone like us.

You better check
those numbers again

before you start
calling someone a weirdo.

You don't have a family,

Some people have a gift, Amanda,

but they're not able
to use that gift

at the usual time.

Sometimes...

they're forced to wait

until their body
is no longer able

to package that gift,

do you understand?

No.
Not really.

Well, when I was younger

when my physical side
was ready to produce

it happened,

but my emotional side,

how do you say it?

Um...

it was cluttered.

Cluttered?

I'm afraid I was not
terribly unified

as a younger person

but, um,

I'm much, much better now.

That's good.

ELAINE: And there's all sorts
of ways to give a gift,

not just one way,

and not just the obvious way.

Does that make any sense?

Yeah.

It sort of does.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Amanda, could you freshen
your sister's bowl please.

-AMANDA: Sure.
-I don't want her legs

cramping up again.

I'll take a refill, too,
thank you.

AMANDA: [HUMMING]

So did you check
those numbers again?

You were right,

she's still trying to get away.

Told you.

[HUMMING]

ALL: ♪ No matter
how young a prune♪

♪ May be he's always
getting wrinkles♪

♪ A baby prune is like his dad♪

♪ But he's not wrinkled
half so bad♪

AMANDA: Did you ever notice
how certain people

won't trust somebody

unless that somebody
is wearing a chain

on their ankles?

Well, Laurel,
was one of those people

and I guess Elaine knew it.

Anyways,
if it wasn't bugging them,

that wasn't gonna bug me,

why should it?

Indivisible, with liberty
and justice for all,

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,

and to the Republic
for which it stands,

one Nation under God.

Hey, Elaine.

Shh, your sister is sleeping.

Oh.

I brought something for you.

I hypnotized him,
eight minutes.

That was more than thoughtful.

Why don't you go get cleaned up?

AMANDA: ♪ No matter
how young a prune♪

♪ May be he's always
getting wrinkles♪

♪ A baby prune is like his dad♪

♪ But he's not wrinkled
half so bad♪

♪ All got wrinkles
on their face but...♪

[HUMMING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

Lo, get up.

Lo.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

Lo, get up.

MAN: [SIGHING]

God.

[INHALING AND EXHALING]

[THUDS]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[LAUREL MOANS]

LAUREL: All right. What?

What dammit?

Nothing.

[WATER GUSHING]

[CROW CAWING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Feels good, doesn't it?

AMANDA: What?

Nice, long shower.

Right.

ELAINE: Better put some
clothes on, I think.

And, uh, let your sister sleep.

We'll have a late...

dinner tonight.

Careful, Amanda.

Hot, hot dish.

Hmm, cream of mushroom.

ELAINE: Oh.

Sorry.

Are you okay, Elaine?

I'm fine.

What?

Just thinking.

LAUREL: About what?

Well, I was just curious
if it had ever occurred to you

how long this whole thing
might take.

How long we might actually be
holed up in this house.

Not exactly.

ELAINE: Well,
that explains it, then.

Explains what?

Nothing.

LAUREL:
What is there to explain?

Well, it just...

seems to me that people
in your position,

captors,

generally would prefer to be
moving targets

as opposed
to sitting still

in the same spot
for weeks on end

like squatting ducks.

Sitting ducks,
Elaine.

Sitting ducks.
Thank you, Amanda.

As if there were no
such thing

as the process
of elimination.

Wait a minute,
are you saying we got to move?

Well, it's not for me
to say, is it?

I mean,
it's your show, isn't it?

You know, Lo?

I think she's right.

I think we ought to move.

[SIGHS] Wait a minute.

Do you have a lot of people
looking for you, Elaine?

That's a ridiculous question.

LAUREL: Do you?

Of course I do.

I mean, my church group alone,

I am the coffee chairman,
you know?

Can you think of one reason

why they haven't found you yet?

I'll tell you why.

Because this is a fucking
killer hideout,

that's why.

You think I don't know that?

You think I'm stupid?

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

ELAINE: Oh yes.

It's going to heal
very nicely.

Very cleanly.

[GROANS]

May I ask you
a personal question?

Yeah, of course.

I was just curious
as to the exact nature

of your visit here.

What? I mean,
this is my house.

I understand that.

I was just curious if...

anyone else
would be joining you?

I came here for some
quality alone time.

Really?

I'm someone who needs
some breathing room

from time to time,

and my people
know this about me.

So...

I think
we have to focus...

on each other
for a survival solution.

Are you seeing these guys?

They know you.

You could stall them

while I make
a run for it.

I'll get to a phone
and call the Sheriff.

He'll come quickly.

He's a client of mine.

He's a pro bono
client of mine,

so he'll come very quickly,

I promise you.

So.

Hmm?

I think that's a very
interesting plan,

Mr. Humphreys.

And...

I'm gonna think
very seriously about it.

Hmm.

What are you doing?

Why are you gonna--
you should untie me.

No, what are you do--
what are you doing?

The only thing
I don't understand

is why you couldn't
"breathe" at home

with your own family?

What?

Hi.

Did you know you got a bunch
of glass back there?

Yeah, I know.

[MUFFLED MUTTERING]

What kind of game
are you guys playing?

The kind we don't tell
anybody about it.

He looks kind of mad

or just weird.

[MUFFLED SOUND]

I don't know
if he's weird, but...

I know he doesn't have
that special gift.

What gift?

Just a certain gift
some certain people have.

Here, you want it?

No, thanks.

We're having
Sloppy Joes tonight,

if you wanna come over.

That's okay.

We're having hot dish.

What--you're not gonna tell
anybody, are you?

About him?

You still got my picture?

Yeah.

Maybe I'll come over
tomorrow.

Yeah.

Maybe.

You take care.

Are you coming, Elaine?

Laurel, I thought
we were going to quit smoking.

We are.

Sorry.

And I'd really appreciate it

if you didn't sit
in that chair.

Why?

I just rather you didn't.

Lo, don't sit
in that chair.

Are we gonna sing?

No, we're gonna talk.

We have to talk
about something serious now,

certain someone's future.

[MOANING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

LAUREL: Now, Elaine,
you probably figured out

that we have a certain type
of lifestyle

and we can't be having a baby
around us,

even if we wanted one
when we don't.

Well, I don't mind.

Don't start, Manny.

[SIGHS] Now, I've been giving it
a lot of thought.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[GRUNTING]

[THUDS]

What was that?

LAUREL: I'm talking here.

I used to think no way
can you give your kid

to your hostage.

But you're not like most people,
Elaine.

I can really see that now.

You're way past
that grudge shit...

stuff.

Way past.

[GRUNTS]

You've got the knowledge,

the medical know how,

and it's not just that,

it's like...

you're the real thing.

[METAL CLATTERING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Who the fuck is that?

You should've taken his shoes,
Elaine.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Can I ask you a question,
Elaine?

Have you ever heard of a hostage

who took her own goddamn
hostage?

Come on, Lo,
she was just trying to help us.

What kind of a fucked up
person would do that?

It's not like you and me
didn't do the same thing to her.

That's just it, Manny.
Don't you get it?

She was supposed to be
different from us.

I bet she never had any kids.

You don't understand Lo,
she was all cluttered back then.

I guarantee you
she's no fucking nurse.

[BIRDS CAWING]

[BRAKE SCREECHES]

Get out of the car.

What?

I mean it,
get out of goddamn car.

Lo, stop! Lo, cut it out!

[GRUNTING] [PANTING]

[ENGINE REVVING]

AMANDA: Damn you, Lo.

[BRAKE SCREECHES]

What did you say?

I said goddamn you.

Do you wanna get out, too?

Is that what you fucking want?

Who are you with, Manny?

Me or her?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIGHS]

Don't you wanna sit up front?

No, thank you.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[THUD]

[SIGHS] Come on, Manny.

Cut the crap.

You can't sleep out here.

Listen, I'm sorry she turned out
to be whacked, but she did.

And it's better
I figured it out now,

this way I still have time
to figure something else out.

Quit dancing.

LAUREL: What?

I said quit dancing.

Who's dancing? I'm freezing
my ass off out here.

You're dancing and it's sort of
looks like hard rock dancing,

and it's gonna give you labor,
so cut it out.

Who told us that, Manny?

AMANDA:
You know who told us that.

And who turned out
to be full of shit?

You should still quit dancing.

[MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

Cut it out, Lo!

Lo, I'm serious, stop it please!

You're gonna have labor,
please stop, Lo!

Stop it!

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Get up, we're going.

I said get up.

It's hardly
even light out.

So?

[CLEARS THROAT]

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

You look like
you swallowed a fly.

[SIGHS] Yeah?
Well, I didn't.

[ENGINE REVVING]

Give me five minutes
until you come in.

AMANDA: I'm not coming.

What?

I said I'm not coming.

Crime doesn't pay.

LAUREL: Damn it, Manny,
you're the one

who gave our food away.

All right. You sit here
and you act like a shit,

just make sure no cops
see you doing it.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Lo?

Lo, where are you?

-What are you doing?
-Did you see that cop?

-AMANDA: Yeah.
-Did he see you?

-Yeah.
-LAUREL: Oh, shit, Manny.

[CLEARS THROAT]
What are you standing on?

Some crates.

LAUREL: Are there any more
down there?

A couple.

Stack 'em.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Still don't see him?

Why do you keep
getting that look on your face?

You're having those crown
things, aren't you?

You've been having them since
last night, haven't you?

Not like this.

Didn't I tell you not to dance
like that last night?

Didn't I tell you not to dance?

LAUREL: Shut up, Manny, please!

[BRAKE SCREECHES]

[PANTING]

What are you doing?

Look, Manny,
I don't wanna get busted either,

but cops know medical shit

and I'm gonna fucking die
otherwise.

So we're not moving
until they come.

[PANTING]

Lo, we can't stay here
anymore.

They'll be here
any minute.

It's been half
an hour already.

That cop saw me, Manny.

He saw you.

I know.

So you don't think
he's after us

right this minute?

No.

You don't?

I don't think anybody
has been after us

any minute.

What the fuck
are you saying?

You know what I'm saying.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[GRUNTING]

I'm gonna die
right in the middle

of this fucking road,

in this fucking car.

No, you won't.

I don't wanna die, Manny.

Me neither.

Do you have any idea
what sort of ruffians

prowl these roads?

And that brand doesn't work
at more than 200 yards.

I did not deserve
what your sister did to me.

It was a terrible,
terrible thing

and I do not deserve it.

We know.

We're sorry.

We?

Yes, me and Lo.

We're sorry.

You'll be okay.
Look who's here.

[PANTING]

Can you say
you're sorry?

I'm sorry.

She said it.

[WATER GUSHING]

Okay. I'm gonna stop now.

I just want it to stop
but I'm gonna go, okay?

I'm gonna go.

Laurel, look at me.

Look at me.

You're not going anywhere,
do you understand?

You're not going anywhere
and neither am I.

We're gonna stay right here
and have this baby.

Do you believe me?

Do you trust me?

[WATER GUSHING]

Well, Amanda,

we've got a long drive
ahead of us.

Um, your sister, of course,
will have her hands full.

But there is something

I would like for you
to do for me.

-What's this for?
-ELAINE: Well,

I would like for you
to write an essay,

500 words or more

about certain lessons
you've learned.

-Lessons?
-ELAINE: Uh-hmm.

About taking hostages.

Oh.

Of course,
as soon as we're settled,

I fully intend
to write one myself.

I think that's only fair.

Well, if it'll make you
feel better, Elaine.

I believe it would.

Okay. Buckle up
for safety, everybody.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

You sure you know
how to drive, Elaine?

Oh, honestly, Laurel,
what a question.

[CAR ENGINE STARTING]
