What have you guys been doing?

Santé. "Cheers" is "santé."

Do you want another round? Do we need another round?

- Of course. - No.

Hey. Romy! Romy. [IN FRENCH] She has a joke about Indians.

- My wife. - Oh, hi.

Romy.

So there's a six-year-old Indian kid, right?

And one day, he goes to see the big chief of his tribe,

and he looks up at him, and he asks him, he's real puzzled, he's like,

"Hey, big chief, where do the Indians get their names from?"

And the chief, he looks down on him, and he says,

"Well, it depends how the spirit moves me according to what I see in the world

"when the child is born.

"On the day of your brother's birth,

"I looked out through the hole in my tepee,

"and I saw a coyote running, and that is why he is named Running Coyote.

"And on the day of your sister's birth, there was this light rain falling,

"and so I named her Dew Pearl.

"But tell me, why are you asking this, Two Dogs Fucking?"

[BOTH LAUGH]

- It's funny. - Oh, come on.

- It's really, really good. - It's... [HOWL]

- [IN FRENCH] Funny, right? - Very.

- Another one. - Another one? Okay, so...

- [IN FRENCH] Can we go? - Not now. It's fun, for once.

She hates funny.

- What do you want? - To go.

A drink, a drink, a drink! Just a drink.

- Whiskey, please, for my... - Oh, you're gonna have a drink with us?

- Some water, please. - No, no, no, no, no, no.

No water. Alcohol. Anything, but alcohol, please.

[IN FRENCH] Come on, for God's sake!

- I don't want one. - Come on.

[MUFFLED ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

We don't get many tourists around these parts.

[LAUGHS]

- I know why. - [BOTH LAUGH]

It's my wife ideas.

She likes the... nature, the plants

and botanic and this big trolley thing and...

- [LAUGHS] - Bullshit.

I'd like to go in the islands, you know,

by the sea, and get...

we'd fuck every day.

But no, we're riding a car...

taking pictures... of plants.

[LAUGHING] Please. [GROANS]

No, she's my wife for eight years.

Eight years. I knew her she was 24.

It was a... I love her. I love her so much.

I can give her what she wants...

money, good life, love,

everything she wants.

She doesn't want my dick.

Doesn't want my dick anymore.

[FIST SLAMS ON BAR] Makes me crazy.

Come over here.

My wife. My wife.

- Okay. - [IN FRENCH] Stay.

Is it me talking with girls?

You're pissed off? She's pissed off!

You're good at that.

Moody and barren, typical you.

My wife doesn't know how to... to have children... children.

I used to buy and sell. But now they just leave with the cash.

There's no more business.

Now, this is the best value for the money in the neighborhood.

You're French?

- Yes. - Passport, please, ma'am.

- What are you doing here? - I'm on holiday.

- On your own? - No. I'm meeting some friends.

- Where's that? - I'm sorry?

Where? Where are your friends, ma'am?

They're... they're in Palm Springs.

This road doesn't go to Palm Springs.

Can you pop the trunk, please, ma'am?

Uh, I think it's the key.

No, no, no, no. You stay in the vehicle.

I'll take care of that. Please keep your seat belt on.

Will you check that?

So what else do you plan on doing on this trip?

Well, nothing. Just vacation.

Hmm.

[TRUNK DOOR SLAMS]

You're free to go, ma'am.

[ENGINE GRINDS]

[ENGINE TURNS OVER]

- Hi. - Do you have rooms available?

- Yeah. How many nights? - Just one, please.

$59, payable in advance.

I'm just trying to remember when it was that I saw a woman as beautiful as you are.

You know, 40 years ago, all of Hollywood used to come down here,

for the river. And then they made a dam upstream. There's no more river.

Liz Taylor... Liz Taylor used to come here.

A classy lady, Liz Taylor.

- Now, for dinner... - I just need to sleep.

Oh, well, in that case, I'll give you something way in the back,

away from the highway. Um...

[KEYS CLINKING]

There you go, around back and over up there, see?

- Okay. - Then behind... There you go. Right.

So we agree.

[ENGINE RUMBLING]

[DARK MUSIC]

[SIRENS WAILING FAINTLY]

- Hello. - Day, ma'am. Can I help you?

I'd like to speak to a detective, please.

I killed my husband.

I hit him on the head with a lamp in a hotel.

And then I left him.

I bought a car for $1,000. I think it's a Plymouth. And I drove...

What's your name, ma'am?

- Romy Killinger. - Can I see some ID?

Thank you.

You're on vacation with your husband here in the U.S.?

Yes.

Okay, you hang tight. I'll be right back.

[DOOR CLUNKS OPEN AND SHUT]

We're just gonna verify your ID.

In the meantime, would you like to have a lawyer present?

Mm-mm.

No. Do I have to?

Well, no, it's not required. But...

I do want to run you through a couple of the steps about what's gonna happen next.

So before I'm gonna open up a case into the facts of which you have accused yourself,

I'm gonna ask you a series of questions.

If we can verify the details of those questions

and all of this turns out to be true, then yes,

at that point, you are gonna need a lawyer.

- Do you understand? - I understand. Thank you.

All right, then.

You okay, miss? You ready to start?

Yes. Go ahead. Go ahead. Thank you. You're very kind.

Okay, so why don't you tell me where this happened?

At a motel... in 29 Palms.

I think it's called The 29.

- And when was this? - Three days ago.

It was during the night, around 2:00 in the morning.

So I guess that's technically the 29th. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mix up the...

Ma'am. Ma'am, it's okay. Relax.

The questions are going to be precise 'cause I need to verify all of these details.

- What's your husband's name? - Richard Moore.

- That's French, yeah? - Yes.

So then you're the one of German descent?

- Yes. By my mother's side. - Mm.

She raised us. And my father was French, but my brother and I...

- Ma'am, that's enough for right now. - I kept my maiden name, and...

I'm gonna step out again, try and verify all of this.

Shouldn't take me more than a couple minutes. Hang tight. Shouldn't be too long.

[DOOR CLUNKS OPEN AND SHUT]

Okay.

So...

It's like I guessed.

You didn't strike me as a killer when you walked in here.

I have some good news. Your husband is alive.

[CHUCKLING] And he told me the story.

The two of you had a bit of a domestic dispute, it sounds like, it got heated.

He slipped. He hit his head. Nothing but an accident.

I'm gonna give this back to you right now.

I think this is something you need to talk to your husband about, not the police.

So I think I'm just gonna take that...

and we can pretend like you were never here. How's that sound?

[LAUGHS, SNIFFLES]

He's in the hospital in 29 Palms.

[LIGHT MUSIC]

[SCREAMS]

[IN FRENCH] I'm so ashamed.

I'm so ashamed, Romy.

Where were you? What did you do?

I drove for miles.

I was so scared.

I drove for miles.

- What matters is that you're here. - No.

What matters is that you're alive.

There was so much I wanted to tell you, but...

We'll go back to Paris, and...

we'll talk.

No.

I'm not going back.

- I'm staying. - How? With what money?

I bought a car with your money.

An old brown Plymouth.

It's yours.

Good-bye.

[TRAIN RUMBLING, BELL DINGING]

So where do you come from?

Mm.

Paris. In France.

Wow.

That's exciting.

[BOTTLE SPUTTERING]

The only French I know is...

[IN FRENCH] ...half a grapefruit.

You have some ketchup on your nose.

I'm sorry, what?

- Ketchup. - Oh.

I put ketchup on my ketchup.

[GROANS]

Those shoes look like they would hurt a lot.

Yeah. They do. I think you're only supposed to wear them in bed...

if you know what I mean.

[LAUGHS]

[MUSIC BOX RINGTONE PLAYING]

Hello.

I'm on my way.

Well, it's showtime.

- It was really nice getting to know you. - It was nice to meet you.

It's okay.

[UNINTELLIGIBLE SHOUTING]

Nice outfit!

[THUMPING DANCE MUSIC]

Hi!

Come take a picture with us! Come here. Take a picture with us.

Come on. You can do it.

Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey! Where's my 20 bucks?

Sorry. Sorry.

- You take care. You good? - Yeah, thank you.

- Hello. - Hi!

Do you... do you have a cigarette, by chance?

I'm Romy.

You look good.

There was this girl from Texas...

Anyway, one day, she didn't come back. She just...

disappeared.

So pick out whatever you want.

Yeah. That's so nice. I like this.

- Ooh-la-la. - [LAUGHS]

Hey. You can stay here as long as you want, all right?

If you don't mind, just put 40 bucks in that kitty over there.

Uh, for work...

I don't know, I'm sure we can find something for you.

You know what? Saturdays I do waitressing in a bowling alley.

I can ask. Do you know how to roller-skate?

[LAUGHS]

Sexy time. That's it. Sexy time, girl.

- Good girl. - Whoo!

You know what? I think we can forget the bowling alley.

Really? I just need practice.

[THUMPING DANCE MUSIC]

You just want to look for goofy tourists that want to give us their money.

And act like you're having a good time.

Come on, get your picture, everybody. Get... you...

Pictures!

Want to take pictures?

It's not as easy as it looks, so you just got to...

keep on trying. You look fantastic.

Pictures!

Maybe... maybe just, you know, stand still. Just, you know, don't, like, hop around.

Get in the middle.

You're dressed like a bunny, but just... try to be sexy, don't hop around.

Yeah. Not the Easter Bunny.

[THE AVENER'S "FADE OUT LINES"]

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Do you know where the bathroom is?

Yes, if you go down straight, make a right,

and up the escalators, and it'll be on your right-hand side.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Rabbit!

Oh. Thanks.

You want to get a drink?

Sure. Why not?

Room 5330.

$150. Will that work?

What?

$200.

I... I know I look like one right now, but I'm not a prostitute.

[SIGHS]

Do you know where the bathroom is?

Thank you.

How about a drink at a bar?

Why not?

I only fuck whores.

It's easier that way. No strings attached.

That's why I come to Vegas.

At least it's clear.

Yup.

- I'd like another drink. - Yeah?

- You? - Yeah. [SNAPS FINGERS]

Can we get another round?

I like the name Diego.

- Yeah? - Yeah. You Mexican?

Mm-mm.

You have lots of horses?

Someone told me once you shouldn't have more horses than you have asses,

- and I only got one ass. But no. - [LAUGHS]

I don't have any horses.

Let me ask you something.

What's a nice girl like you doing here all alone in Vegas,

- dressed up like a bunny rabbit? - [LAUGHS]

Actually...

I'm coming out of a... long relationship.

I don't really want to talk about it.

I'm happy it's over.

Other than that, I really have no fucking clue why I'm here

or why I put on a rabbit costume. I mean...

It's not really me.

Fair enough.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Do you have a light?

Thank you.

[COUGHING]

[LAUGHS]

I don't know where I'm going, but...

I know I'm gonna get there, you know?

I'm just... I want to be free.

And I'm so... I'm so fucking done with love, you know? I just don't want love.

I am so happy that I don't have love right now.

It's just... I'm free.

And I don't know where life is gonna take me,

but I'm gonna get there, and my aim is on Earth

to just float. I'm just gonna float.

And I think...

That was just to shut you up, Rabbit.

[LAUGHS]

[HEAVY BREATHING]

[LAUGHING]

Excuse me. Has room 5330 checked out already?

Oh, I'm sorry, I can't give out that information. It's hotel policy.

Okay, can you at least tell me if it's booked through the night?

Please?

You said 5330?

Yes, it's booked until tomorrow.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hey.

Am I disturbing you?

Did you bring back my costume?

- My bunny costume. - Of course.

Turns out, you can't stay over here anymore, okay?

I think I know what you really are.

And I want you to take all your stuff and get the hell out of here

- and not come back. - Okay!

I just want you to go. You don't have any other place to stay?

- Please. - Look. I'm sorry. I should've called...

Do you really think I give a shit about your life story?

You can't stay. And that's it.

Fine!

[STAMMERS] Just... could you please put 40 bucks in the kitty before you leave?

Thank you.

- Hello again. - How are you?

Good. Do you have rooms available for one night?

One night? Yes, I do.

Smoking or non?

[MUFFLED YELLING OVER MEGAPHONE]

Mmm!

[MUNCHING]

- [GUNSHOT] - [MELLOW ROCK MUSIC]

Nope. [LAUGHS] Not even close.

I thought your interest was in plants.

You know, nature is like the pantry for animals.

If you know who lives there, you know about the plants.

All right. There's bobcats.

- Mm-hmm. - Gila monsters.

[LAUGHS] Gila monsters?

- Gila monsters. - What's that?

- Big lizard. - Oh.

Kangaroo rats.

- Spiders. - Mm-hmm.

Snakes.

Desert tortoises.

[LAUGHING]

I met this Indian...

and he said I was a...

- tortoise. - Tortoise?

- A tortoise. He told me I was a tortoise. - Well, you can't be an eagle, then.

Well, you are not an eagle either.

Mm.

Hey. Good to see you, bud. You look great. You look great. Welcome back.

- Thanks, man. - Nice to meet you.

And... chicharrones.

I don't believe I was talking to you. Can the little lady answer for herself?

Yes, little lady can. She's not drinking with men who have no manners.

Hmm. Bitch.

[WHISTLING AND CHEERING]

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Hey, get a beer for my friend right here. Hey, get a beer for my friend.

- What are you doing? - Sorry. He started it.

That's just how it works around here.

- Let's go. - All right. Let's go.

Good night, good night, good night, good night, good night, good night.

[CROWD CHEERING]

A fistfight is...

kind of like real life.

You got to make quick decisions,

hope for the best.

When you knock a guy out...

you sort of throw his existence in his face.

But there's no... no glory in being the winner.

You just want to...

feel something, I think.

I love you.

I thought you didn't want to hear about love anymore.

You want to always make sure that it's nice and neat.

Spoon on the left. Fork on the right. Knife in the middle.

- Okay. - Any questions so far?

- No. - Okay.

The kitchen, your pots.

Here, we like to keep the soups

and different things to keep hot throughout the entire day.

And then... welcome to the team. Here is your apron.

And then you also always want to put your hair back or in a braid or something,

because we do not want any hair to go into the food.

She said I should make some French pastries,

that the clients would come for that. I think that's a really good idea, no?

My mother taught me how to make a really good apple tart.

The only thing she taught me.

What's this about getting a job?

I thought you were just passing through.

I am just passing through.

[CHILD BABBLES]

[DOG BARKING]

Your brother's here. Oh, my God, you got all dressed up!

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi!

- What's that? - I made you a pie.

- You made it? - Yes.

- How's it going, man? You good? - Yeah.

All right.

The cattle branding was very impressive.

Yeah. Joe's the tattoo king. You are!

Damn, Billie, when you gonna fix your tooth?

Well, I don't have time with the kids, lay off me.

I gave you cash for that.

Yeah, I have the cash. I just didn't fix my tooth yet.

Austin! Austin, come here.

Come here, mister.

We're getting in the tub. We're getting in the tub.

Yeah, she's been dumpster diving.

- What? - Pulling food out of trash bins.

My wife's a fucking wacko. She likes to be full to the fucking bursting.

She goes down to the grocery store, she checks out the date on the food

they've thrown away, and she comes back with a fucking trunk-load of garbage.

It's fucking cans of beef.

- It's fucking garbage. - Well, we make savings.

Yeah? What good are savings six feet under with some, like, dumb-fuck bacteria, huh?

Come on.

Austin.

- Come here. - Let me down.

We got to take a bath. We got to take a bath.

Can you take her for one second? Thank you. I just got to get these tots out.

We're not really having anything too fancy, 'cause you can't do that with kids, but...

You got so much patience for that.

God, I can barely handle it, you know?

It's just, like, one kid after the other.

I don't know what to say. I just get pregnant so easy.

[PANS CLATTERING]

- Kayla, you being good? She being good? - Oh, they're very sweet.

She's very sweet. [WHISPERING] He can be kind of an asshole.

Chip?

Could you maybe take these out to Joe and just see if he's started the grill?

- Can you handle that and her? Thank you. - Sure.

- Go outside? - Mm-hmm.

[WATER SPLASHES]

I cannot believe you found work around here.

Do you know, everybody's looking. No one can find anything.

And you just roll in.

And I thought you were just a tourist passing through.

What are we gonna have now, a French sister-in-law? 'Cause that'd be funny.

That'd be a funny thing.

You got to clean that dumb shit out of your conversation, Billie,

'cause it sure is bugging us around here.

Okay, Joe, then you make conversation...

if you're so good at it.

Well, look what happens when I don't talk. Nobody talks.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[COUGHING]

[COUGHING]

Why does Diego cough like that?

I don't know, I think he's been doing it ever since he came back from the war.

I mean, that's what Joe told me. He said it left him real broke up.

I've only known him five years since I've been with Joe, but...

he's been doing it that whole time.

So it's getting real serious with you two?

I don't know.

MAN: Hey, Billie! Quit telling your life story and come out here

- and show me your cheerleader routine! - Oh, my God.

- You'd make a really pretty cheerleader. - I haven't done it in ages.

[LAUGHING]

I don't want anyone judging me.

Okay.

- We... got... spirit. - [LAUGHING]

S-P-I-R-I-T. Spirit. Let's hear it.

- Higher! - We... got... spirit.

- S-P-I-R-I-T. Spirit. Let's hear it. - Higher!

Whoo! Go, team!

Whoo! Whoo!

Higher! Higher!

Stop! Stop!

What are you doing? Do you want to lose your baby?

Hey, chill out.

We're just having fun.

What the fuck's wrong with her?

You really are a couple of fools, you know that?

[GATE CLATTERS]

Ow.

- I got you. - I didn't do a good job.

You did a great job.

- You all right? - I'm sorry.

That's all right. [GRUNTS]

- They're idiots anyway. - [ENGINE TURNS OVER]

You know how many people die of thirst crossing the border every year?

- Go ahead. Pick a number. - What, Mexicans?

I don't know. 100?

Way more. Not just Mexicans either.

Anybody sees me do this, I'll lose my job.

Hey.

Come on.

Why can't you just accept what's happening to us?

Just sex? I buy that. I told you that from the start.

I thought maybe we had a chance 'cause you wanted the same things.

You lied to me. I didn't lie to you.

Lied to you? I didn't lie to you.

- I ain't in love with you. - I don't believe you.

It just doesn't make sense is all.

ROMY: Life doesn't have to make sense.

What's wrong with you?

[ENGINE TURNS OVER]

[DOOR SLAMS]

[COUGHING]

I'm gonna go for a drive.

While I'm away, you get in there and you pack your shit and you get the fuck out.

You're right.

A guy like you is not worth it for more than a week anyways.

[ENGINE TURNS OVER]

Do you even have a place to sleep tonight?

Mickey, go clean up your den,

'cause she's gonna need a bed tonight.

Do you know where we keep the clean sheets?

- I think so. - Thanks.

You bet.

Listen, I don't mind helping you and stuff, but...

it's a temporary thing, right?

Of course. I really appreciate it.

All right.

[COFFEE POURING]

- Here are your coffees. - WOMAN: Thank you very much.

I'll be right back to take your order. Would you like milk?

WOMAN: Yes, please.

Thank you.

ROMY: All right. Do you know what you'd like?

Yes. I'll have a sandwich, please.

Would you like rye, pumpernickel, white, sourdough?

- Wheat. - Wheat. How about cheese?

No cheese.

Oh, and if you'd like, for dessert, we have homemade French apple tart.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Let's go.

- You can stay as long as you like. - ROMY: Are you sure it's no problem?

WOMAN: If you don't treat us like Indians can see in the dark, speak to damselflies,

and make their life choices based on the shape of the clouds,

we should be fine.

[DOGS BARKING]

I'm gonna bless you with sage, and then I'll smudge you off so...

you can continue on your journey of what you're doing.

[SPEAKING A NATIVE LANGUAGE]

Amen.

Okay.

Your new name will be Sky.

Mahpiya, like the sky.

- Mahpiya. - Mahpiya.

Sky.

- I like that. - Yeah.

Yeah.

I got to tell you something that my grandma told me

yesterday about you.

She told me...

you're expecting a child and it's gonna be a little boy.

I can't have babies. My body rejects them.

- ROMY: I've had four. - MAN: D&C or spontaneous miscarriage?

ROMY: D&C once, and the three other times, it just happened.

- You're not bleeding. - No.

Well, your pregnancy's off to a good start,

so don't go on fearing another disaster. That would be a shame.

Make sure the father-to-be pampers you, and you'll be fine.

Thank you.

[DOOR CLUNKS SHUT]

- Hey. - Hey.

I saw Diego's truck, but he's not here?

He's in the bathroom. He's not doing too good.

[DOOR CREAKS]

[COUGHING]

Are you okay?

Come on.

My body's sick, Rabbit.

It's poisoned.

I'm broken, like you said I was.

I could light up a whole town with the...

amount of uranium I got.

The payoff from...

depleted uranium is...

when it hits a target and you breathe it in...

right here...

it gets in your blood and your lungs.

You fell for a guy that's gonna die.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

I can't even make love to you anymore.

Do you remember when we made love for the first time in Vegas?

Afterwards, I went walking outside in the sunshine, and...

I saw my shadow.

And next to my big shadow, there was...

a small shadow.

Like a child.

And I was holding hands with the child.

You know, Missy, she told her grandmother...

and she said it means that I will have a child.

And it's true.

I went to the doctor, and it's true.

[BELT BUCKLE RATTLING]

[COUGHING]

- Are you okay? - [DOOR SLAMS]

You got to get rid of it, Rabbit.

I'm not afraid to have this child.

Actually, yeah...

let's keep it.

It might be nice.

Have a little baby with a eyeball in the middle of his forehead.

Or maybe a baby born with no arms.

Maybe he'll be born with leukemia.

A nice little cancer his dad gave him. Someone he's never, ever gonna meet.

- Stop it. - No, you stop it.

You wouldn't even hold this baby in your arms. That's how much you'd like it.

You'd think it was ugly.

You'd feel so bad about yourself for being such a selfish bitch that you...

Stop it!

You piss me off with your little fucking angel eyes, you know that?

Get rid of it.

[BOTTLE CLATTERS]

I don't know what to do.

You can't change what happened.

It's all meant to be.

You've been given a beautiful, beautiful life to take on.

So don't... don't cry.

I will be here for you.

We'll go through this together.

- It's gonna be okay. - [SNIFFLES]

That's why we gave you the name of Sky, Mahpiya.

[SIGHS]

You're always changing.

The sky is always changing.

[SNIFFLES]

Thank you.

[SIGHS]

[FIRE CRACKLING AND POPPING]

You probably won't like this.

It's cactus.

I like cactus.

Mm...

I don't know if you'll like this one, actually.

Okay.

[SOFT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[SPEAKING A NATIVE LANGUAGE]

Mm.

[SPEAKING A NATIVE LANGUAGE]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- May I take your order? - WOMAN: Yes. Polish sausage, please.

ROMY: Thank you. That will be right out.

[HUMMING]

[MAN YELLING]

MAN: The white man's desire...

for material possessions...

and power...

has blinded him.

Those guys are such a drag.

It's a letter to President Nixon from 1970.

- MAN: And now... - [LAUGHS]

You're tough. I signed the letter before I knew you.

Ah, yeah, well, that doesn't surprise me.

Thanks. Nice.

- Oh, come on. Not you. - Mm.

- You're different. - Oh, yeah. Very, very different.

[LAUGHS]

Hi!

Jesse sent me.

- I know you're gonna be sad, but... - [SOMBER PIANO MUSIC]

[RATTLY BREATHING]

[COUGHS]

[COUGHING AND SPUTTERING]

[COUGHING AND WHEEZING]

[LABORED BREATHING]

I love you.

[SOBS]

[CRYING]

Tell him that you were the only woman for me. All right?

Will you tell him that?

[SNIFFLES]

[GROANS]

[LABORED BREATHING]

[BIRDS TWITTERING]

[SOMBER MUSIC]

Diego?

Diego?

I love you! I love you!

ROMY: Let's run! Whoo!

Jump!
