Palm Trees and Power Lines (2022) Movie Script
1
Mom?
Are you gonna get up?
You have work.
I'm gonna go in late.
This is one of
my absolute favorite looks
because everything's very
fresh, dewey, not too much.
We're just gonna be able to
do a little more with this.
And then I like to go from
the corner up like this.
So we're going from
the natural eye shape.
So we just have this dramatic
thing here that enhances
what we've already got,
which I really love.
Great, love that.
Look how your eyes
just like totally pop.
It looks great.
Next week we're gonna be
doing lip liner tutorials,
so I hope you guys will
tune in, like, subscribe.
She could have
done literally anything.
You always talk about
her, what about me?
You're never on my corner.
Oh, yes, she can text me.
She can send me apology.
We've been friends.
I didn't wanna hear
her on the phone.
She can send me apology.
Stop.
See, he's hot.
Oh my God Leah, he just
looked at your boobies.
Stop it, no, he didn't.
He so did.
You're so obvious.
No, I'm not.
Yes you are.
Could I please get
the strawberry frosted?
Sprinkles or no sprinkles?
Sprinkles.
It's like someone busted a nut
right in the middle of that.
Ew, Amber.
You're disgusting.
Oh my God, you're
driving me crazy.
I'm sorry, can you just
turn the sound off?
You're on your
phone all the time.
'Cause I'm fucking bored.
Well, in a few weeks
you'll be complaining
that you're back in school.
Well, you know, you
could get a summer job.
If you want, you could
come and do a few hours
a week with me.
No thank you.
Have you even started
your summer reading?
Going to.
You haven't even started it yet?
Mom, stop, I told
you I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna go out.
What?
I just made this whole dinner.
You're gonna just
leave me all alone.
You're fine, mom.
No, I'm not.
You didn't even like him.
Yes, I did.
You're so mean to me.
No, I'm not, you just
don't like what I'm saying.
Does it feel good?
I'm gonna cum.
Can you move over?
Yeah, sorry.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Bitch.
Stop, these are
fucking new, stop.
Stop, stop, stop.
Can't call a girl she's heavy.
You are though.
I'm gonna get an
eating disorder now.
No, no.
She was a 10 when she was in
middle school, but, you know,
got bad, so she's
like a seven now.
Too hot, she's
like six possibly.
Six, 6.5, whatever.
But Sarah.
She's so hot.
Oh, she's, oh God.
So she's like a nine.
I agree she's like
a nine for sure.
She's like an 11.
Maybe higher.
What a beautiful,
what's the word?
Voluptuous?
Curvy, whatever, she's fire.
What, no.
Yeah, see, thank you.
Brings back memories.
Jared stop.
That's so rude, you're gonna
have to clean it all up.
Stop, that's so rude.
I don't care.
Excuse you Leah.
I'm ready for, you guys ready?
Yeah, let's roll.
Oh, we haven't
gotten the check yet.
That's 'cause we're piecing.
Guys.
Ladies first, come on.
We can just meet you at
Seven-11 if you want.
No, I don't wanna do that.
Okay, suit yourself.
We're gonna go, come on.
Come on.
All right fuck,
let's go, come on.
Hey, where you going?
Hey, stop it.
Stop, said you stop
and stay right here.
Ow, get off of me.
And you too.
Both of you, get
inside right now.
Leah.
Let go of me.
I said stay here.
Get the fuck off of me.
- Get off you her.
- You get inside right now.
You come.
Hey, what are you doing, man?
Those fucking kids
didn't pay their bill, man.
You don't hit a
fucking girl like that.
Get back inside right now.
Hey.
Hi.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Must have hurt.
You need any help?
No thanks.
Even just a ride, no.
No rides from strangers.
That's a very fair
and responsible point.
Understood.
But I'm probably just gonna
have to keep you company
while you walk then, right?
Just to make sure
you get home safely.
What do you wanna listen to?
Thinking, Top 40, huh?
No.
Maybe they're a country
gal, is that what you are?
No, I got it.
Oldies.
You can't go wrong with
the oldies, come on.
All right.
All right, she likes the oldies.
Nobody cry
Come on, get in.
She's a girl of the world
Don't murder me, okay?
I promise I will not.
Where are we going?
Just keep heading straight.
What's your name?
Leah.
What's yours?
Tom.
Make a right.
You got it.
Is it cool if I smoke in here?
Sure, just roll the window down.
All right, let me have a drag.
Yeah, these are disgusting.
I quit a long time ago.
So why didn't you go
with your friends?
I don't know.
They're arseholes
for leaving you.
They're just dumb sometimes.
Well, I think you're a
lot more mature than them.
Serious.
Yeah, you seem cool.
You should be hanging
out with people
who are a lot more
on your level.
Right up here is good.
Well, it was really
nice meeting you.
I should give you
my phone number,
in case you need a ride again.
How old are you?
I'm 34, how old are you?
I'm 17.
Thank you.
Yeah, no problem.
Bye.
What is he doing here?
Leah.
Think you and Jared
are gonna start dating.
I don't know.
Well, would you want
to like, if he asked?
Probably not.
I thought you were
like obsessed with him.
Not really, I
like somebody else.
What?
Oh my God, you like Darren?
Ew, Darren, no.
Well then who?
Oh my God, who, who, who?
He goes to another school.
What school?
I don't even know anyone
that goes to another school.
I do.
Oh, really, what school then?
I'm not saying.
What school?
I don't wanna jinx it.
Oh my god Leah, come on.
Just tell me the school.
He goes to Vista.
Vista.
Okay.
Emma's coming over in
a few minutes by the way.
What?
Nothing.
What?
I just don't get why
you're friends with her.
God.
But it's fine.
We don't have to like
all the same people.
No one cares.
No one cares, exactly.
Hey, Leah.
Hey.
Oh my God, that's bad.
Enough of that one.
Oh my God, I didn't
realize that was her.
Yeah, oh my God.
Oh, that's a no for me.
That's a no for me.
Hey, wait, where you going?
I gotta go help my
mom with something.
Okay.
Would it help you?
Paparazzi?
How was your day?
Fine.
What are you up to tonight?
Nothing.
I'm gonna have a friend over.
You can hang out
with us if you want.
Which friend?
Glen.
Who's Glen?
From Carlsbad, the dentist.
You know who Glen is.
Why can't you go to his place?
Oh, he's already on his way.
I don't wanna be here for this.
Then you don't have to be.
Fine, I'm gonna go out.
Fine.
I don't mind a
little privacy anyway.
Ew.
I asked you not to
tell me those things.
Are you one of those
people who watches sunsets?
What does that mean?
Like hashtag BRB,
chasing sunsets.
What, what does that mean?
Like on Instagram.
Okay like the same people who
hashtag living my best life.
Yeah.
Are the same people who
post photos of sunsets.
What's wrong with chasing
something that's beautiful?
What?
That is so corny.
All right, so you
don't like sunsets.
We know that, heart of stone.
What do you like?
I don't know.
Well, what do you wanna
to do after high school?
I haven't really
thought about it.
It's okay.
I definitely didn't
know what I wanted to do
when I was your age,
you don't have to.
My mom thinks I should
know what I'm interested in.
You know, have hobbies.
She thinks it'll help
me get into college.
Do you want to go to college?
I mean, no offense to your mom.
I'm sure she's a
really nice person,
but she might not know
what she's talking about.
You know, there's a
lot of different ways
to live a good life,
and you don't have to go
to college to do that.
I live my life any
way that I want,
and I don't have to listen
to anybody else to do that.
And that is real freedom.
Real freedom.
What do you do?
Absolutely nothing.
No, I have a small business.
I do repairs and remodeling.
That's cool.
Yeah, I was pretty good
at building stuff to start.
I work for myself, so
I set my own terms.
I guess I like
to sing sometimes.
Oh yeah.
Well, maybe you
should quit smoking
so you can save your voice.
I only smoke sometimes.
Sure, you do, smoker.
Hey, besides tons of
singers of raspy voices.
Yeah, that's true.
Still, hold on a sec.
Hey, why don't you
sing me something?
No.
Come on, please.
Absolutely.
Why not?
Just a little something,
I wanna hear you.
No, all right.
I will get you to
sing at some point.
Just wait.
Oh shit, I got some work stuff.
I'll drive you home.
What?
Can I see you tomorrow?
Okay, yeah.
Ew, why do you even
watch that shit?
I didn't put it on.
Somebody did.
You look pretty.
Thanks.
Is it Vista boy?
Maybe.
Shut up.
Gonna get a beer.
Hey.
You scared me.
What?
Nothing.
What are you doing?
Nothing, I'm just
not really in the mood.
And why'd you come
over here then?
Your bathing suit's mismatched.
Hey.
Thank you.
Why don't you tell me about
your family by yourself.
Where's your dad?
He lives in Arizona.
Yeah.
My dad didn't want
a family either.
Oh, he has a family,
it's just not me.
His wife wanted it that way.
I'm sorry to hear that.
It's okay.
And what about your mom?
Is she wondering where you are?
No.
No, oh man.
Well, that's not actually true.
She gets really clingy
with me when she's single
and then sometimes she
asks me where I am.
Is she single now?
I can't keep track anymore.
Some people just have
no business having kids
and they do anyway.
What about you,
where are your parents?
Oh, my mom's not too far away.
She's about 30 miles north.
And my dad, last time I heard
he was working in Nevada.
So I know how you
feel about your dad.
You wanna go in the water?
Sure.
Yeah.
You suck.
Did you have fun with Amber?
Yeah, we went to the beach.
That sounds like fun.
That's crazy.
I know.
Can I kiss you?
Yes.
Oh, I look chopped.
Oh my God.
Oh my God, it's
going on my story.
Don't post that.
Or what?
You know what your
Vista boy to see?
I mean, the thing is though,
is that I looked
through your Instagram
and you don't even
follow anyone from Vista.
You looked at who I'm following?
You left me no choice.
That's psycho.
No, it's not psycho,
it's resourceful.
What?
You can't hide him
from me forever.
I just don't wanna jinx it.
We just kissed the other day.
Yawn.
It was actually really sweet.
Please call me when
you fucked him.
Stop.
I don't know when or
if that's gonna be.
When, if, so you want to.
I guess.
Oh my God, just do it.
Just the next time you see
him, just walk up to him,
grab him by the dick
and just be like,
that's not play games.
Can we go back to your place?
I mean, if you want to.
Yeah, of course.
I thought we were
going back to your place.
This is my place.
Oh, okay.
It's just temporary,
my lease was up
and I'm just kept out here
until I can find a new spot.
I know it's not fancy.
No, it's totally chill.
I can just take
you home if you want.
No.
All right.
Do you wanna come inside?
I do.
Why don't you make
yourself comfortable
and I'll make us
some drinks, yeah?
What'll it be?
Anything's fine.
Well, what do you drink
when you're with your friends?
Whatever they're drinking guess.
Right.
All right.
Cheers.
I'm really glad we met.
Me too.
Yeah, you know, you're just,
you're not like any
girl like I know.
Really?
Really.
I feel like that
can be open with you.
Like, you see me.
I feel like I can
really see you.
I feel that way too.
Did we get like
brought together by fate?
Is that a crazy thing to say?
I feel like it's a crazy thing.
You're not crazy.
Could you turn off the lights?
Yeah.
Hey, let's get your swimsuit.
Sit still.
We're gonna see if
you like butter.
Put your chin up.
Well, what's the verdict?
What do you know?
You've got a bad case of it.
I do.
Hold on a second, chin up.
Oh no.
You got a bad case of it too.
What's that?
It's just a song I like.
Yeah, can I hear a bit?
Just a little bit.
Okay, fine.
Just a part of it.
Got a performance
here, quiet please.
Your depression is mounting
The ashtray is
filling because of it
That's side
bottles half empty
The rest of its filling
with your regret
Just how sad can you get
When nothing is
ever really worth it
Outside bottle's half empty
The rest of its filling
with your regret
Hey, Leah.
Hey.
Who's this?
This is my friend.
Tom.
Emma.
We were just about
to head out actually.
You sure you can't stick around?
We're doing a bonfire later.
Bonfire, sounds fun.
It will be, you should stay.
Even if she can't.
We really have to get going.
Too bad, another time then.
Yeah, another time.
Stop it Emma.
So you're allowed to
hook up with Tyler
and I'm not even
allowed to talk to Tom.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Why are you laughing?
Because you are so cute
when you get jealous.
I'm not jealous.
No.
Well that's a shame
because I'm jealous.
Who's Tyler?
Who's Tyler?
He's nobody.
He's nobody, who's Tyler?
I swear.
I don't want to see
other guys, you understand?
I'm not.
Because you are,
you're mine, right?
Good, get in the car.
Yeah, these look well
moisturized and hydrated.
These look like certified
genuine princess hands.
I don't know if that's
a compliment or not.
It's a compliment.
Thank you, you're like.
Who is that?
It's just a friend.
Hold on a sec, gimme a minute.
I'll be right back.
Shut your fucking mouth.
Outta here.
Just get the fuck out right now.
You don't want me.
I'm sorry about that.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
What's going on?
My friend needed something.
Your friend lives here?
Yeah, she just need a little
bit of help with something.
What kind of help?
With a guy, with a
guy that she's seeing.
Like her boyfriend?
Yeah, yeah.
Like her boyfriend.
Why won't you tell
me what's going on?
I am telling you
what's going on.
There's nothing to worry about.
It's her boyfriend and
he's drunk sometimes.
Okay.
I just wanna
reiterate, I like to use.
Natural aid when
we do this part.
Hey.
So you haven't been
answering any of my texts.
Sorry I'm not glued to my phone.
Where's your mom?
At work.
So Emma said she saw you
at the beach with some guy,
an old guy named Tom.
He's not that old.
No way, so, it's true.
Okay, is Emma telling everybody?
She said, she was
just telling me.
You just have to promise
not to tell anybody.
Yeah, obviously.
But like, why
didn't you tell me?
I was going to, I'm sorry.
You just have to swear
not to tell anybody.
I mean, yeah, as long
as you tell me everything.
Okay, pinky swear.
Kiss it.
It's really good.
It's not really good.
It's what we got.
Really?
Yeah, I mean, you don't
know a good piece of pizza
until you've gotten a
slice in New York City.
Maybe you'll have to
take me to New York then.
Show me the good stuff.
You want me to take you away?
You wanna run away with me?
Maybe.
Oh, give me a minute.
Hello.
Everything okay over here?
It's great.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Do you need help?
There's a phone in the back,
I can make a call for you.
He does not have to know.
Doesn't have to know what?
You can tell me.
Tell you what?
Look, it's just he
comes in here with girls.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
He's my boyfriend.
Hey, can we get a box for that?
Something came up, I
gotta take you home, okay?
Okay.
Good, I'm sorry.
Got this draining issue
and I should have
dealt with it myself
instead of asking somebody
else to look after it.
You all right?
Are you like dating other girls?
No, why would you ask me that?
I don't know.
What?
It's just that the waitress.
This waitress?
Yeah, she said that she sees
you there with other girls.
So.
I've never seen this waitress
before in my entire life.
So she's definitely confusing
me with somebody else, okay.
Okay, just forget it.
Leah.
Hold on a sec, will you
take this for a second?
Let me just clear this up.
I've never seen this, hold on.
Tom, don't.
One sec.
She apologized.
Okay.
Just take me home.
You know I really don't
appreciate this, Leah.
I mean what have I ever done
to give you a reason
not to trust me?
Nothing.
You trust me?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I want to hear you say it.
What?
I want you to say, I trust you.
I trust you.
I trust you too.
There you are, I
haven't seen you in days.
Yep, I'm here.
What have you been up to?
You wanna watch
something on TV tonight?
I'm hanging out with Amber.
Aw, I think you've been spending
so much time with her lately.
Not really.
Well, we haven't been
spending any time together.
I'm surprised you even noticed.
It's not like you've
been around much anyways.
Of course I noticed, stop it.
Geez.
So which one of your
boyfriends dumped you this time?
Or was it all of them?
What's the matter with you?
It's fine.
I know I'll always come second.
It's whatever.
You're my daughter.
Of course you come first.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Some people have no
business having kids.
Excuse me?
I said that some people
have no business having kids.
He gets them ball, puts on back
and hits it while he's
fucking from behind.
I'm dead ass, I'm
fucking dead ass.
Bro, come on that's
fucking bullshit.
Dude, that is not even
anatomically possible.
All right, look,
I'm just telling
you what he told me
and he told me he's
done it a bunch.
Yeah well, he's a fucking liar.
Jared, you're just jealous.
I'm not jealous.
So Leah, who you've been up to?
Shut up Pat.
You don't need to
answer that Leah.
We all know what
you've been up to.
Oh, come on.
Don't gimme that confused look,
we all know that you've been
hanging out with the geriatric.
Jared you asshole.
Leah, I didn't mean
to say anything.
And they said that they
would never repeat it.
I promise, I'm sorry.
Leah, the man is a pervert.
No he's not.
He's a pedophile.
I don't blame him, I mean,
we all know younger
girls feel different.
Ew Patrick.
You don't know what
you're talking about.
Yes, I do.
I literally fucked
that older lady.
She was like in her forties,
but she actually was kind
of hot, to be honest.
Disgusting Patrick.
No, you didn't.
Yes I did.
No, you didn't.
On that trip with my family
to Mexico, I told you about.
I swear to God, bro.
I'm not a kidding, older
women, they feel different.
It's like not as good.
I think it like,
it like stretches out
over time or something.
I'm too high for this.
I'm just saying
like, this guy's lucky.
Did you shut the
fuck up, Patrick.
You're disgusting.
It's just a joke,
those old saggy balls.
Leah.
Leave me alone.
Oh my God, Leah.
Get off of me.
I'm sorry, okay.
Geez, they just kept
asking where you were.
You didn't need to say anything.
Can't you see how much
they don't even wanna
hang out with you?
They know you'll
fuck any of them.
They just keep you around
for when one of them decides
that they feel like it.
I'm sorry about earlier.
What's wrong?
Okay.
I hate them.
Oh, well, they never matter.
They never matter, right?
You're the only
person I even like.
Oh, good.
'Cause that's all
we need, right?
You and me.
And this perfect fucking face.
You know I love you, right?
And you love me,
and you're never gonna leave me.
I won't leave you.
Good.
Because nobody loves you
the way that I love you.
Hold on a second.
I made you this.
Oh my God.
Dear me chasing the sunset.
I thought you'd like it.
You had this made?
Yeah, of course I did for you.
Oh my God.
Put it on.
I love it.
Put it on, I wanna
see it on your wrist.
I'm gonna wear it all the time.
Good, come here.
I wanted to get you something
so you could think of me
when we can't be together.
I wish we could be
together all the time,
and I never have to
deal with anybody else.
Then let's go be alone
together someplace,
just for a few days.
Really?
Yeah, I think we
need a vacation.
I think we just need
to be the two of us.
Can we leave tonight?
We can leave tomorrow.
How's that sound?
Okay.
Oh boy.
If somebody had told you
that night at the diner
where we'd be now, what
would you have thought?
I would've thought
that there's just no way
that I could be this lucky.
Really?
Really, what about you?
I just never thought
somebody like you
would even be into me.
I wanted you the
first moment I saw you.
And I've been thinking
about some things
about you and everything,
and about your mom,
and I wanna be the one to
take care of you from now on.
What do you mean?
I mean, I want it
to be you and me.
I wanna be the
one to protect you
and to give you
everything that you need.
I wanna be that guy
so that you don't have
to get help from anybody else.
Yeah.
And that can start, right now.
Stand up, come over here.
Right here.
Take this off.
I can't go close to the blind.
No, no, no, no, no.
I wanna see you.
No.
Take these off.
Take that off.
Turn around.
You get on your knees.
No, with your mouth.
Thank you.
Hold on a sec, here you go.
What are you doing?
I'm just straightening up.
Come over here.
I need your help with something.
Okay.
I need you to do
something for us.
Okay.
There's a guy that
wants to meet you.
So I have arranged for
him to meet you tonight.
Do you remember
what a good time we
had when we got here?
I want you to show
him a good time.
Do you remember?
It's just like that.
I don't wanna do that.
You told me that you want
me to take care of you.
This is how I would
take care of you.
I don't wanna do that.
You said that you wanted
it to just be the two of us.
So I need you to do this
because we're gonna need money.
I don't think I can do that.
You have no idea how easy
this is going to be because
you're so fucking good at it.
Okay, okay.
I'm gonna go.
He's gonna be here
in just a little bit.
He and I have talked
about everything.
There is nothing to
worry about, okay?
Hey, hey.
I love you, okay?
Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
There is nothing to
worry about, all right.
Look at me.
Jesus, you look so pretty.
Okay.
Hello, you all right?
Yeah.
It's okay.
You don't need to be scared.
It's your first night, right?
Don't be nervous.
Really, there's nothing
to be afraid of.
I'm a nice guy.
Come here, come here.
You from around here?
Yeah, me too, born and raised.
How old are you?
It's okay.
It's probably
better I don't know.
Relax, told you
I won't hurt you.
You're really quite beautiful.
What do you say when
someone compliments you?
Thank you.
See how hard you make me.
Take your shirt off.
Just like that.
You're good at that.
That's good.
Hey.
You wanna try a bite?
Go to the bathroom
for just a second.
Can you come pick me up?
Yeah, I'll drop a pin.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah, if my mom asks, we only
took the car to Darren's.
So what are you doing here?
I was with Tom.
What happened?
We got in a fight.
Fuck that guy, right?
Can we talk about yesterday.
I don't really feel like
talking about anything.
Don't be a bitch, okay,
I'm trying to apologize.
Look, I'm really sorry.
I should have kept your secret,
I always keep your secrets.
Then why didn't you?
I was worried
about you, I'm sorry.
Okay, I'm sorry too.
It's okay.
Can we start driving?
Where are you going?
I have to get a listing ready.
There's an open house tomorrow
and I don't have
time to do it then.
Could I come?
If you want to.
Do you need any help?
Yeah, do you wanna
clean that back window?
Yeah.
Taking a shot of
the mystery, Ben.
Yeah, baby shot.
Thought you loved us.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, bro.
I would but.
All right guys, I'm
already too fucking.
How many do you need?
I don't like any of these.
I think this is what they have.
I don't like these,
you should put them back.
What are you gonna
wear on the first day?
I haven't really
thought about it.
Can I have some?
Yeah.
That's pretty.
Thanks.
The number you dialed
has been changed, disconnected,
or is no longer in
service, if you feel you.
The number you dialed has been
changed, disconnected, or.
The number you dialed has
been changed, disconnected,
the number, dial
changed, disconnected,
or is no longer in service.
Yeah.
Is Tom here?
No.
Do you know where he is?
No, fuck that guy, I
don't care where he went.
Oh, I just really
need to talk to him.
Okay, I mean, if he didn't
tell you where he went,
then maybe it's not a good.
Please.
You should go home.
I can't find him anywhere.
If you could please just help me
like even with a phone
number or something.
It's an emergency.
Okay, yeah, hold on.
Hi.
No, there's a girl at my door
who wants to talk to you.
No, she knows you.
What's your name again?
Leah.
She says her name's Leah?
No, she's alone.
I don't think so, yeah, okay.
Tom, don't hang up.
Where are you?
Why didn't you try to find me?
I miss you too.
Mom?
Are you gonna get up?
You have work.
I'm gonna go in late.
This is one of
my absolute favorite looks
because everything's very
fresh, dewey, not too much.
We're just gonna be able to
do a little more with this.
And then I like to go from
the corner up like this.
So we're going from
the natural eye shape.
So we just have this dramatic
thing here that enhances
what we've already got,
which I really love.
Great, love that.
Look how your eyes
just like totally pop.
It looks great.
Next week we're gonna be
doing lip liner tutorials,
so I hope you guys will
tune in, like, subscribe.
She could have
done literally anything.
You always talk about
her, what about me?
You're never on my corner.
Oh, yes, she can text me.
She can send me apology.
We've been friends.
I didn't wanna hear
her on the phone.
She can send me apology.
Stop.
See, he's hot.
Oh my God Leah, he just
looked at your boobies.
Stop it, no, he didn't.
He so did.
You're so obvious.
No, I'm not.
Yes you are.
Could I please get
the strawberry frosted?
Sprinkles or no sprinkles?
Sprinkles.
It's like someone busted a nut
right in the middle of that.
Ew, Amber.
You're disgusting.
Oh my God, you're
driving me crazy.
I'm sorry, can you just
turn the sound off?
You're on your
phone all the time.
'Cause I'm fucking bored.
Well, in a few weeks
you'll be complaining
that you're back in school.
Well, you know, you
could get a summer job.
If you want, you could
come and do a few hours
a week with me.
No thank you.
Have you even started
your summer reading?
Going to.
You haven't even started it yet?
Mom, stop, I told
you I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna go out.
What?
I just made this whole dinner.
You're gonna just
leave me all alone.
You're fine, mom.
No, I'm not.
You didn't even like him.
Yes, I did.
You're so mean to me.
No, I'm not, you just
don't like what I'm saying.
Does it feel good?
I'm gonna cum.
Can you move over?
Yeah, sorry.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Bitch.
Stop, these are
fucking new, stop.
Stop, stop, stop.
Can't call a girl she's heavy.
You are though.
I'm gonna get an
eating disorder now.
No, no.
She was a 10 when she was in
middle school, but, you know,
got bad, so she's
like a seven now.
Too hot, she's
like six possibly.
Six, 6.5, whatever.
But Sarah.
She's so hot.
Oh, she's, oh God.
So she's like a nine.
I agree she's like
a nine for sure.
She's like an 11.
Maybe higher.
What a beautiful,
what's the word?
Voluptuous?
Curvy, whatever, she's fire.
What, no.
Yeah, see, thank you.
Brings back memories.
Jared stop.
That's so rude, you're gonna
have to clean it all up.
Stop, that's so rude.
I don't care.
Excuse you Leah.
I'm ready for, you guys ready?
Yeah, let's roll.
Oh, we haven't
gotten the check yet.
That's 'cause we're piecing.
Guys.
Ladies first, come on.
We can just meet you at
Seven-11 if you want.
No, I don't wanna do that.
Okay, suit yourself.
We're gonna go, come on.
Come on.
All right fuck,
let's go, come on.
Hey, where you going?
Hey, stop it.
Stop, said you stop
and stay right here.
Ow, get off of me.
And you too.
Both of you, get
inside right now.
Leah.
Let go of me.
I said stay here.
Get the fuck off of me.
- Get off you her.
- You get inside right now.
You come.
Hey, what are you doing, man?
Those fucking kids
didn't pay their bill, man.
You don't hit a
fucking girl like that.
Get back inside right now.
Hey.
Hi.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Must have hurt.
You need any help?
No thanks.
Even just a ride, no.
No rides from strangers.
That's a very fair
and responsible point.
Understood.
But I'm probably just gonna
have to keep you company
while you walk then, right?
Just to make sure
you get home safely.
What do you wanna listen to?
Thinking, Top 40, huh?
No.
Maybe they're a country
gal, is that what you are?
No, I got it.
Oldies.
You can't go wrong with
the oldies, come on.
All right.
All right, she likes the oldies.
Nobody cry
Come on, get in.
She's a girl of the world
Don't murder me, okay?
I promise I will not.
Where are we going?
Just keep heading straight.
What's your name?
Leah.
What's yours?
Tom.
Make a right.
You got it.
Is it cool if I smoke in here?
Sure, just roll the window down.
All right, let me have a drag.
Yeah, these are disgusting.
I quit a long time ago.
So why didn't you go
with your friends?
I don't know.
They're arseholes
for leaving you.
They're just dumb sometimes.
Well, I think you're a
lot more mature than them.
Serious.
Yeah, you seem cool.
You should be hanging
out with people
who are a lot more
on your level.
Right up here is good.
Well, it was really
nice meeting you.
I should give you
my phone number,
in case you need a ride again.
How old are you?
I'm 34, how old are you?
I'm 17.
Thank you.
Yeah, no problem.
Bye.
What is he doing here?
Leah.
Think you and Jared
are gonna start dating.
I don't know.
Well, would you want
to like, if he asked?
Probably not.
I thought you were
like obsessed with him.
Not really, I
like somebody else.
What?
Oh my God, you like Darren?
Ew, Darren, no.
Well then who?
Oh my God, who, who, who?
He goes to another school.
What school?
I don't even know anyone
that goes to another school.
I do.
Oh, really, what school then?
I'm not saying.
What school?
I don't wanna jinx it.
Oh my god Leah, come on.
Just tell me the school.
He goes to Vista.
Vista.
Okay.
Emma's coming over in
a few minutes by the way.
What?
Nothing.
What?
I just don't get why
you're friends with her.
God.
But it's fine.
We don't have to like
all the same people.
No one cares.
No one cares, exactly.
Hey, Leah.
Hey.
Oh my God, that's bad.
Enough of that one.
Oh my God, I didn't
realize that was her.
Yeah, oh my God.
Oh, that's a no for me.
That's a no for me.
Hey, wait, where you going?
I gotta go help my
mom with something.
Okay.
Would it help you?
Paparazzi?
How was your day?
Fine.
What are you up to tonight?
Nothing.
I'm gonna have a friend over.
You can hang out
with us if you want.
Which friend?
Glen.
Who's Glen?
From Carlsbad, the dentist.
You know who Glen is.
Why can't you go to his place?
Oh, he's already on his way.
I don't wanna be here for this.
Then you don't have to be.
Fine, I'm gonna go out.
Fine.
I don't mind a
little privacy anyway.
Ew.
I asked you not to
tell me those things.
Are you one of those
people who watches sunsets?
What does that mean?
Like hashtag BRB,
chasing sunsets.
What, what does that mean?
Like on Instagram.
Okay like the same people who
hashtag living my best life.
Yeah.
Are the same people who
post photos of sunsets.
What's wrong with chasing
something that's beautiful?
What?
That is so corny.
All right, so you
don't like sunsets.
We know that, heart of stone.
What do you like?
I don't know.
Well, what do you wanna
to do after high school?
I haven't really
thought about it.
It's okay.
I definitely didn't
know what I wanted to do
when I was your age,
you don't have to.
My mom thinks I should
know what I'm interested in.
You know, have hobbies.
She thinks it'll help
me get into college.
Do you want to go to college?
I mean, no offense to your mom.
I'm sure she's a
really nice person,
but she might not know
what she's talking about.
You know, there's a
lot of different ways
to live a good life,
and you don't have to go
to college to do that.
I live my life any
way that I want,
and I don't have to listen
to anybody else to do that.
And that is real freedom.
Real freedom.
What do you do?
Absolutely nothing.
No, I have a small business.
I do repairs and remodeling.
That's cool.
Yeah, I was pretty good
at building stuff to start.
I work for myself, so
I set my own terms.
I guess I like
to sing sometimes.
Oh yeah.
Well, maybe you
should quit smoking
so you can save your voice.
I only smoke sometimes.
Sure, you do, smoker.
Hey, besides tons of
singers of raspy voices.
Yeah, that's true.
Still, hold on a sec.
Hey, why don't you
sing me something?
No.
Come on, please.
Absolutely.
Why not?
Just a little something,
I wanna hear you.
No, all right.
I will get you to
sing at some point.
Just wait.
Oh shit, I got some work stuff.
I'll drive you home.
What?
Can I see you tomorrow?
Okay, yeah.
Ew, why do you even
watch that shit?
I didn't put it on.
Somebody did.
You look pretty.
Thanks.
Is it Vista boy?
Maybe.
Shut up.
Gonna get a beer.
Hey.
You scared me.
What?
Nothing.
What are you doing?
Nothing, I'm just
not really in the mood.
And why'd you come
over here then?
Your bathing suit's mismatched.
Hey.
Thank you.
Why don't you tell me about
your family by yourself.
Where's your dad?
He lives in Arizona.
Yeah.
My dad didn't want
a family either.
Oh, he has a family,
it's just not me.
His wife wanted it that way.
I'm sorry to hear that.
It's okay.
And what about your mom?
Is she wondering where you are?
No.
No, oh man.
Well, that's not actually true.
She gets really clingy
with me when she's single
and then sometimes she
asks me where I am.
Is she single now?
I can't keep track anymore.
Some people just have
no business having kids
and they do anyway.
What about you,
where are your parents?
Oh, my mom's not too far away.
She's about 30 miles north.
And my dad, last time I heard
he was working in Nevada.
So I know how you
feel about your dad.
You wanna go in the water?
Sure.
Yeah.
You suck.
Did you have fun with Amber?
Yeah, we went to the beach.
That sounds like fun.
That's crazy.
I know.
Can I kiss you?
Yes.
Oh, I look chopped.
Oh my God.
Oh my God, it's
going on my story.
Don't post that.
Or what?
You know what your
Vista boy to see?
I mean, the thing is though,
is that I looked
through your Instagram
and you don't even
follow anyone from Vista.
You looked at who I'm following?
You left me no choice.
That's psycho.
No, it's not psycho,
it's resourceful.
What?
You can't hide him
from me forever.
I just don't wanna jinx it.
We just kissed the other day.
Yawn.
It was actually really sweet.
Please call me when
you fucked him.
Stop.
I don't know when or
if that's gonna be.
When, if, so you want to.
I guess.
Oh my God, just do it.
Just the next time you see
him, just walk up to him,
grab him by the dick
and just be like,
that's not play games.
Can we go back to your place?
I mean, if you want to.
Yeah, of course.
I thought we were
going back to your place.
This is my place.
Oh, okay.
It's just temporary,
my lease was up
and I'm just kept out here
until I can find a new spot.
I know it's not fancy.
No, it's totally chill.
I can just take
you home if you want.
No.
All right.
Do you wanna come inside?
I do.
Why don't you make
yourself comfortable
and I'll make us
some drinks, yeah?
What'll it be?
Anything's fine.
Well, what do you drink
when you're with your friends?
Whatever they're drinking guess.
Right.
All right.
Cheers.
I'm really glad we met.
Me too.
Yeah, you know, you're just,
you're not like any
girl like I know.
Really?
Really.
I feel like that
can be open with you.
Like, you see me.
I feel like I can
really see you.
I feel that way too.
Did we get like
brought together by fate?
Is that a crazy thing to say?
I feel like it's a crazy thing.
You're not crazy.
Could you turn off the lights?
Yeah.
Hey, let's get your swimsuit.
Sit still.
We're gonna see if
you like butter.
Put your chin up.
Well, what's the verdict?
What do you know?
You've got a bad case of it.
I do.
Hold on a second, chin up.
Oh no.
You got a bad case of it too.
What's that?
It's just a song I like.
Yeah, can I hear a bit?
Just a little bit.
Okay, fine.
Just a part of it.
Got a performance
here, quiet please.
Your depression is mounting
The ashtray is
filling because of it
That's side
bottles half empty
The rest of its filling
with your regret
Just how sad can you get
When nothing is
ever really worth it
Outside bottle's half empty
The rest of its filling
with your regret
Hey, Leah.
Hey.
Who's this?
This is my friend.
Tom.
Emma.
We were just about
to head out actually.
You sure you can't stick around?
We're doing a bonfire later.
Bonfire, sounds fun.
It will be, you should stay.
Even if she can't.
We really have to get going.
Too bad, another time then.
Yeah, another time.
Stop it Emma.
So you're allowed to
hook up with Tyler
and I'm not even
allowed to talk to Tom.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Why are you laughing?
Because you are so cute
when you get jealous.
I'm not jealous.
No.
Well that's a shame
because I'm jealous.
Who's Tyler?
Who's Tyler?
He's nobody.
He's nobody, who's Tyler?
I swear.
I don't want to see
other guys, you understand?
I'm not.
Because you are,
you're mine, right?
Good, get in the car.
Yeah, these look well
moisturized and hydrated.
These look like certified
genuine princess hands.
I don't know if that's
a compliment or not.
It's a compliment.
Thank you, you're like.
Who is that?
It's just a friend.
Hold on a sec, gimme a minute.
I'll be right back.
Shut your fucking mouth.
Outta here.
Just get the fuck out right now.
You don't want me.
I'm sorry about that.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
What's going on?
My friend needed something.
Your friend lives here?
Yeah, she just need a little
bit of help with something.
What kind of help?
With a guy, with a
guy that she's seeing.
Like her boyfriend?
Yeah, yeah.
Like her boyfriend.
Why won't you tell
me what's going on?
I am telling you
what's going on.
There's nothing to worry about.
It's her boyfriend and
he's drunk sometimes.
Okay.
I just wanna
reiterate, I like to use.
Natural aid when
we do this part.
Hey.
So you haven't been
answering any of my texts.
Sorry I'm not glued to my phone.
Where's your mom?
At work.
So Emma said she saw you
at the beach with some guy,
an old guy named Tom.
He's not that old.
No way, so, it's true.
Okay, is Emma telling everybody?
She said, she was
just telling me.
You just have to promise
not to tell anybody.
Yeah, obviously.
But like, why
didn't you tell me?
I was going to, I'm sorry.
You just have to swear
not to tell anybody.
I mean, yeah, as long
as you tell me everything.
Okay, pinky swear.
Kiss it.
It's really good.
It's not really good.
It's what we got.
Really?
Yeah, I mean, you don't
know a good piece of pizza
until you've gotten a
slice in New York City.
Maybe you'll have to
take me to New York then.
Show me the good stuff.
You want me to take you away?
You wanna run away with me?
Maybe.
Oh, give me a minute.
Hello.
Everything okay over here?
It's great.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Do you need help?
There's a phone in the back,
I can make a call for you.
He does not have to know.
Doesn't have to know what?
You can tell me.
Tell you what?
Look, it's just he
comes in here with girls.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
He's my boyfriend.
Hey, can we get a box for that?
Something came up, I
gotta take you home, okay?
Okay.
Good, I'm sorry.
Got this draining issue
and I should have
dealt with it myself
instead of asking somebody
else to look after it.
You all right?
Are you like dating other girls?
No, why would you ask me that?
I don't know.
What?
It's just that the waitress.
This waitress?
Yeah, she said that she sees
you there with other girls.
So.
I've never seen this waitress
before in my entire life.
So she's definitely confusing
me with somebody else, okay.
Okay, just forget it.
Leah.
Hold on a sec, will you
take this for a second?
Let me just clear this up.
I've never seen this, hold on.
Tom, don't.
One sec.
She apologized.
Okay.
Just take me home.
You know I really don't
appreciate this, Leah.
I mean what have I ever done
to give you a reason
not to trust me?
Nothing.
You trust me?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I want to hear you say it.
What?
I want you to say, I trust you.
I trust you.
I trust you too.
There you are, I
haven't seen you in days.
Yep, I'm here.
What have you been up to?
You wanna watch
something on TV tonight?
I'm hanging out with Amber.
Aw, I think you've been spending
so much time with her lately.
Not really.
Well, we haven't been
spending any time together.
I'm surprised you even noticed.
It's not like you've
been around much anyways.
Of course I noticed, stop it.
Geez.
So which one of your
boyfriends dumped you this time?
Or was it all of them?
What's the matter with you?
It's fine.
I know I'll always come second.
It's whatever.
You're my daughter.
Of course you come first.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Some people have no
business having kids.
Excuse me?
I said that some people
have no business having kids.
He gets them ball, puts on back
and hits it while he's
fucking from behind.
I'm dead ass, I'm
fucking dead ass.
Bro, come on that's
fucking bullshit.
Dude, that is not even
anatomically possible.
All right, look,
I'm just telling
you what he told me
and he told me he's
done it a bunch.
Yeah well, he's a fucking liar.
Jared, you're just jealous.
I'm not jealous.
So Leah, who you've been up to?
Shut up Pat.
You don't need to
answer that Leah.
We all know what
you've been up to.
Oh, come on.
Don't gimme that confused look,
we all know that you've been
hanging out with the geriatric.
Jared you asshole.
Leah, I didn't mean
to say anything.
And they said that they
would never repeat it.
I promise, I'm sorry.
Leah, the man is a pervert.
No he's not.
He's a pedophile.
I don't blame him, I mean,
we all know younger
girls feel different.
Ew Patrick.
You don't know what
you're talking about.
Yes, I do.
I literally fucked
that older lady.
She was like in her forties,
but she actually was kind
of hot, to be honest.
Disgusting Patrick.
No, you didn't.
Yes I did.
No, you didn't.
On that trip with my family
to Mexico, I told you about.
I swear to God, bro.
I'm not a kidding, older
women, they feel different.
It's like not as good.
I think it like,
it like stretches out
over time or something.
I'm too high for this.
I'm just saying
like, this guy's lucky.
Did you shut the
fuck up, Patrick.
You're disgusting.
It's just a joke,
those old saggy balls.
Leah.
Leave me alone.
Oh my God, Leah.
Get off of me.
I'm sorry, okay.
Geez, they just kept
asking where you were.
You didn't need to say anything.
Can't you see how much
they don't even wanna
hang out with you?
They know you'll
fuck any of them.
They just keep you around
for when one of them decides
that they feel like it.
I'm sorry about earlier.
What's wrong?
Okay.
I hate them.
Oh, well, they never matter.
They never matter, right?
You're the only
person I even like.
Oh, good.
'Cause that's all
we need, right?
You and me.
And this perfect fucking face.
You know I love you, right?
And you love me,
and you're never gonna leave me.
I won't leave you.
Good.
Because nobody loves you
the way that I love you.
Hold on a second.
I made you this.
Oh my God.
Dear me chasing the sunset.
I thought you'd like it.
You had this made?
Yeah, of course I did for you.
Oh my God.
Put it on.
I love it.
Put it on, I wanna
see it on your wrist.
I'm gonna wear it all the time.
Good, come here.
I wanted to get you something
so you could think of me
when we can't be together.
I wish we could be
together all the time,
and I never have to
deal with anybody else.
Then let's go be alone
together someplace,
just for a few days.
Really?
Yeah, I think we
need a vacation.
I think we just need
to be the two of us.
Can we leave tonight?
We can leave tomorrow.
How's that sound?
Okay.
Oh boy.
If somebody had told you
that night at the diner
where we'd be now, what
would you have thought?
I would've thought
that there's just no way
that I could be this lucky.
Really?
Really, what about you?
I just never thought
somebody like you
would even be into me.
I wanted you the
first moment I saw you.
And I've been thinking
about some things
about you and everything,
and about your mom,
and I wanna be the one to
take care of you from now on.
What do you mean?
I mean, I want it
to be you and me.
I wanna be the
one to protect you
and to give you
everything that you need.
I wanna be that guy
so that you don't have
to get help from anybody else.
Yeah.
And that can start, right now.
Stand up, come over here.
Right here.
Take this off.
I can't go close to the blind.
No, no, no, no, no.
I wanna see you.
No.
Take these off.
Take that off.
Turn around.
You get on your knees.
No, with your mouth.
Thank you.
Hold on a sec, here you go.
What are you doing?
I'm just straightening up.
Come over here.
I need your help with something.
Okay.
I need you to do
something for us.
Okay.
There's a guy that
wants to meet you.
So I have arranged for
him to meet you tonight.
Do you remember
what a good time we
had when we got here?
I want you to show
him a good time.
Do you remember?
It's just like that.
I don't wanna do that.
You told me that you want
me to take care of you.
This is how I would
take care of you.
I don't wanna do that.
You said that you wanted
it to just be the two of us.
So I need you to do this
because we're gonna need money.
I don't think I can do that.
You have no idea how easy
this is going to be because
you're so fucking good at it.
Okay, okay.
I'm gonna go.
He's gonna be here
in just a little bit.
He and I have talked
about everything.
There is nothing to
worry about, okay?
Hey, hey.
I love you, okay?
Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
There is nothing to
worry about, all right.
Look at me.
Jesus, you look so pretty.
Okay.
Hello, you all right?
Yeah.
It's okay.
You don't need to be scared.
It's your first night, right?
Don't be nervous.
Really, there's nothing
to be afraid of.
I'm a nice guy.
Come here, come here.
You from around here?
Yeah, me too, born and raised.
How old are you?
It's okay.
It's probably
better I don't know.
Relax, told you
I won't hurt you.
You're really quite beautiful.
What do you say when
someone compliments you?
Thank you.
See how hard you make me.
Take your shirt off.
Just like that.
You're good at that.
That's good.
Hey.
You wanna try a bite?
Go to the bathroom
for just a second.
Can you come pick me up?
Yeah, I'll drop a pin.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah, if my mom asks, we only
took the car to Darren's.
So what are you doing here?
I was with Tom.
What happened?
We got in a fight.
Fuck that guy, right?
Can we talk about yesterday.
I don't really feel like
talking about anything.
Don't be a bitch, okay,
I'm trying to apologize.
Look, I'm really sorry.
I should have kept your secret,
I always keep your secrets.
Then why didn't you?
I was worried
about you, I'm sorry.
Okay, I'm sorry too.
It's okay.
Can we start driving?
Where are you going?
I have to get a listing ready.
There's an open house tomorrow
and I don't have
time to do it then.
Could I come?
If you want to.
Do you need any help?
Yeah, do you wanna
clean that back window?
Yeah.
Taking a shot of
the mystery, Ben.
Yeah, baby shot.
Thought you loved us.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, bro.
I would but.
All right guys, I'm
already too fucking.
How many do you need?
I don't like any of these.
I think this is what they have.
I don't like these,
you should put them back.
What are you gonna
wear on the first day?
I haven't really
thought about it.
Can I have some?
Yeah.
That's pretty.
Thanks.

No.
Do you know where he is?
No, fuck that guy, I
don't care where he went.
Oh, I just really
need to talk to him.
Okay, I mean, if he didn't
tell you where he went,
then maybe it's not a good.
Please.
You should go home.
I can't find him anywhere.
If you could please just help me
like even with a phone
number or something.
It's an emergency.
Okay, yeah, hold on.
Hi.
No, there's a girl at my door
who wants to talk to you.
No, she knows you.
What's your name again?
Leah.
She says her name's Leah?
No, she's alone.
I don't think so, yeah, okay.
Tom, don't hang up.
Where are you?
Why didn't you try to find me?
I miss you too.
