'Cause you're a big motherfucker
Gary has a pussy and
James has a pussy and
James has a pussy
And Mommy has a pussy
And Aunt Lil
has a little, tiny pussy
Xenia, Ohio.
A few years ago...
a tornado hit this place.
lt killed the people,
left and right.
Dogs died. Cats died.
Houses were split open...
and you could see necklaces
hanging from branches of trees.
People's legs and neck bones
were sticking out.
Oliver found a leg on his roof.
A lot of people's fathers
died...
and were killed
by the great tornado.
l saw a girl
fly through the sky...
and l looked up her skirt.
Her skull was smashed.
And some kids died.
My neighbor was killed
in that house.
He used to ride dirt bikes
and three-wheelers.
They never found his head.
l always thought that was funny.
People died in Xenia.
Before dad died...
he had a bad case
of the diabetes.

Spit it out.
You have a lump in your titty.
What?
You have a big old lump.
Tummler sees everything.
Some say he's downright evil.
He's got what it takes
to be a legend.
He's got a marvelous persona.
You got this one?
Don't kill the bitch.
lt's a house cat.
lt's a lesbian cat.
You can tell.
Looks like my mom.
Know what l'm doing tomorrow?
What?
Going to an insane asylum.
lnsane asylum?
Gonna get me a raving beauty.
Foot Foot, where you been?
You smell like a dookie, girl.
Talk to him in school?
l don't know. Some hall.
He smiled.
Don't be such a puss.
l try not to. l'm shy.
Foot Foot, you stink a bitch.
Where'd you find her?
On the porch sleeping
for three hours.
How'd she get out there?
-You left the window cracked.
-No.
-You did.
-lt was not me.
You know
it's always Darby's fault.
She's looking
a little impregnated.
-No.
-She is.
Let's flip her over
and look at her bottom part.
Let me look at you, Foot Foot.
ls it red?
lt's not any red, no.
-ls it swollen?
-No.
An impregnated cat is a bitch.
Like, this cat's pregnant.
Yeah. Tsk. lt's true.
-No, she's not a bitch.
-She is, too.
She's gotten herself
in trouble like this.
-She still has nine nips.
-Nine nips?
Nine lives, too.
lf she is pregnant, we'll drown
the kittens in the creek.
You see? Do it like this.
Get it over all the pink--
around it.
Do it on it real tight.
That tight,
it will get infected.
Don't tell me.
This is the right way.
lf you just do little pats,
it won't raise it.
The whole point is to make it
fatter and pop it out bigger.
-Tight.
-That's tight.
-This gonna hurt?
-lt's not gonna hurt.
We're gonna do it quick.
-Ready?
-Pull it, Dot, pull it!
One, two, three.
They look bigger.
They look a little bigger.
l think they look wider.
The nipple's fatter.
They look redder, but l think
they look much better.
Better nipple.
Every day
lt's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster
than a roller coaster
Love like yours will
Surely come my way
A-hey a-hey-hey
Every day
lt's a-getting closer
Goin' faster
than a roller coaster
Love like yours will
Surely come my way
A-hey a-hey-hey
Every day, lt's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster
than a roller coaster
Love like yours
will surely come my way
Hey-hey hey-hey-hey
Love like yours
Will surely come my way
What do you want to do?
Wanna keep lookin'?
Go by Dean's place...
back by the dumpsters?
Then let's go get our money.
Let's get some milkshakes.
Milkshakes?
Strawberry milkshake.
lf they don't have strawberry,
l'll get pineapple.
Let's go get our money first.
Does your mom
ever make you food?
-She makes me toast.
-ls that it?
She cooks me lamb chops.
You ever eaten crepe suzette?
Spanker had gravy on his vest...
gravy on his tie,
gravy on his pants...
gravy all over him...
so he went to his grave
with gravy on his vest...
gravy on his tie,
gravy on his pants...
gravy all over him.
That dirty old man.
These two kids l know...
these two brothers...
they murdered their parents.
They both claim to be raised
as Jehovah Witnesses.
They came to school
in really nice shorts...
and polished tennis sneakers...
and their shirts were always
collared with buttons...
and their hair
was always slicked back...
their teeth
were always brushed...
and their shirts and pants
were always ironed...
and their shoes
never were scuffed up...
or anything like that.
They seemed to have
a wonderful life.
l don't know what went wrong.
Why don't you give me
them shoes?
'Cause they're new,
and l don't give you new shoes.
Yeah, fuck that, man.
l'm keeping this shit
right here.
-Sorry.
-Yeah.
Pissant.
-Fuck him up.
-Aw, get off me, man.
l told you
not to hit me in the face.
-What's up?
-Stop that.
Ooh! Damn!
Shit. Go, fucker.
Let's go.
l'm gonna fuck you up.
Damn! Shit!
Hit a man while he's down.
Shit. All right, all right.
Oh, fuckin'...
Shit, man. Give me them shoes.
So, what's for dinner, man?
You cooking tonight?
l was about four years old
the first time...
and, um...
l remember one time he came home
from work real late...
and l had been sleeping
on the couch...
and he came in,
and he woke me up...
and he laid on top of me...
and he told me, he said,
''Take off your panties.''
And l asked him why.
He said
that he was only playing...
and that
he wasn't gonna hurt me...
and, um, he was gonna
make me feel good.
And l took off my panties,
and then, um...
he got on top of me...
and he was rubbin' and touchin'
and feelin' and laughin'.
And then--and then, um...
he'd wake up in the morning,
and he'd come in my bedroom...
or bring me into his bedroom...
and he would kiss me
and touch me and...
and make me play with him and...
And, you know, at first,
l was real scared.
l didn't know if it was right...
but he would tell me
that we were having fun...
and what we were doing
wasn't wrong...
because he was my dad.
You guys didn't get very many
this time.
Yeah. lt's a scarce count.
Let's see.
Twelve, twelve and a half.
l'll give you thirteen.
lt's gettin' crazy, 'cause
things are startin' to thin out.
You know you guys
got some competition out there?
-What? Who?
-Jarrod.
-Who?
-Jarrod Wiggley.
You know the kid
that lives over by the school?
The one who takes care
of his grandmother?
l know that kid. He used to have
a sister in my class...
but she moved.
Her name was June Wiggley.
We used to call her June bug.
And l noticed something else.
The cats that's usually
out by the garbage cans...
they're not around anymore.
And the Chinese restaurant--
you know the one
that buys all my stuff?
The guy that owns it
had a heart attack and died...
so l guess they're getting ready
to go out of business.
l'm pretty smart,
if l say so myself.
Why is that?
This afternoon,
we walked into a fruit store...
and the clerk thought
l was some out-of-town hick.
''Those apples will be
two bucks each,'' he tells me.
That's where l outsmarted him.
l hand over a five...
And as he's about to give me
a dollar change, l say...
''Keep it. We're even.
''On the way in,
l stepped on a grape.''
You want this
by the cat or by the pound?
Don't matter.
l'll give you
a dollar a pound, then.
Hey, uh...
could you hook me up
with some glue?
What kind you want?
Not wood glue.
Not cement glue, either.
Do you have butcher's
model glue, in tins?
Yeah. l'm gonna go get it, man.
Who was it?
Who killed that little baby cat?
-Joseph.
-Was it?
Yeah. lt was ate up
with maggots, though.
They had to kill it.
They're just strays.
All these cats around here
have twenty babies.
Little bitty old black cat.
He wasn't about this long.
We was trying to figure out
how to make it stay away.
Couldn't do it. He said,
''Give me a bottle of gasoline.''
He opened its mouth up
and poured it full of gasoline.
Get that son of a bitch. l ain't
never seen that cat since.
Lit it. Poured gas down it.
Poured gas down it, man,
and lit it.
l ain't never killed nothin'...
just to be killing it,
besides that cat.
He lit a cat on fire
for six hours.
Boom ! Boom !
No, l seen somebody put one
in a microwave.
That motherfucker melted.
They got me for a damn BB gun.
You shouldn't have pulled it
on that girl.
l didn't pull it on that girl.
You're crazy!
You're crazy, man.
You're crazy, man.
l didn't pull that BB gun out.
When l went to jail, they put us
in the old juvenile...
because the jails were so full.
lt was one little room...
with a big old silver hard bed
on a brick wall.
There was eighty-five people
in the same cell with us.
Worst thing l hate about it
was them niggers down there.
l--God, boy, hey, mmm.
They make me so mad, l just want
to tear their head off.
l hate the motherfuckers.
l just don't like 'em.
You got them all. lf you
hit one, you get them all.
They have ten
to every one of you.
-They ain't gonna fight fair.
-Unless you got nigger buddies.
That's it. lf you got
some good Latin buddies...
l had some good--some good
nigger friends at Pearl.
Solomon...
did your mom find a new house?
l saw a house yesterday...
near my house.
l think it was this lady's.
l saw a sign, ''for sale.''
lt had a bullet hole
in the mailbox.
A hole?
A big old hole.
l think my brother shot it down
when l was younger.
l think it was him.
He always used to say...
Roy Orbison
liked to shoot at things.
Roy always wore
these dark sunglasses.
My brother always wore
the same kind of sunglasses.
He sang that song ''Crying.''
You know that song?
What?
That song ''Crying.''
Cryin'
Over you
Cryin'
Over you
My brother
used to sing ''Crying.''
Where is he now?
My brother?
He's in the big city.
He took off in a bus.
He was a queer.
He's a queer now.
Your brother is?
Yeah. He dressed like ladies.
He wore skirts and lipsticks.
He wore stockings, eyeliner.
He even has boobs.
Girl?
Pretty much.
Was he pretty?
l don't know. l guess so.
l guess he was pretty.
Pretty enough
to have a boyfriend.
Cops
will frickin' catch your ass.
Fuck the cops!
l know, man.
Cops can kiss my ass.
All they are is assholes.
l know, man.
What's the matter with them?
They mad 'cause
we get more pussy than they do?
Damn you, rabbit!
You smell like fuckin' piss!
You can kiss my ass!
l hate the goddamned rabbit.
Fuckin' rabbit!
Kill his ass!
l don't like rabbits

-No, you didn't!
-Yes, l did!
He looks like a queer rabbit!
All queer!
That fag! He can kiss my ass!
Rabbits are queers!
They always got to shit
on themselves!
Ah, those little queer-ass
rabbits.
Hey, look at these little fag
bunny ears.
Fuckin' rabbit.
l'm sick and tired of it.
-This shitty-ass rabbit stinks!
-l know.
He smells like pussy!
He smells like an asshole!
Hey, motherfucker!
Smells like wetback dick!
They smell like
a pound of bullshit!
ls it dead?
l don't know,
but l'm gonna make sure.
-l wonder if he's dead.
-Got some big-ass nostrils.
Hate fuckin' rabbits.
l wonder if he's got any money.
Check his pockets.
Don't even got
that much meat on him.
Got too much grease on my gun.
-That rabbit can kiss my ass.
-Come on, let's go, man.
Who gives a shit about rabbits?
A, B, C, D, E, F, G

-Ellen, how you doing?
-Hey.
What's up with you?
You good?
He got a haircut.
He looks pretty.
His thighs are getting stronger.
Eddie!
Hi, Dot. Hi, Helen.
My backhand really sucks.
-No, it doesn't.
-Yeah, it does.
l think your playing
looks much better.
l got second
in the tournament last week.
-Really?
-Yep. My serve got faster.
lncreased by eight percent.
l can hit a ball
up to sixty-five miles an hour.
You got that way
from practicin'?
No. l got this thing
called A.D.D.
lt's an attention disorder.
lt affects the nervous system.
Makes it hard to concentrate.
Makes it hard?
Makes it hard, 'cause, like...
before l knew l had A.D.D...
l wouldn't really
go for the ball...
l wouldn't run the extra mile.
Yeah, but it's hard to explain.
l take ritalin,
this kind of prescription drug.
lt's not like a drug
that fucks you up.
lf anything,
it makes you normal.
He just likes to go out
with skinny girls.
-How do you know?
-l just know.
Who told you?
His last girlfriend
used to be anorexic.
-Was she bulimic?
-l don't know.
l'll bet
she was a bulimic puker...
with white spots on her teeth.
l don't know. She used to run
track after school...
and this girl said,
''There goes Eddie's girl.''
And l thought, ''What for?
That girl's so skinny.''
-They broke up, right?
-Mm-hmm. A while ago.
-Skin and bones.
-Mm-hmm. She was so skinny...
she had to wear rubber bands
around the tops of her socks...
and a belt around her spandex
bike shorts to keep them up.
-No, she didn't.
-Uh-huh.
Kids in school
used to laugh so hard.
Sure.
lt's crazy, so crazy.
Guess l'm not skinny enough
for him, then.
-You are.
-No.
Uh-huh. At least
if he goes out with you...
you'll know he got good taste.
-We'll see.
-Mm-hmm.
We'll see if it happens,
is what we'll see.
l was born
right here in Xenia, Ohio...
to a lesbian midwife...
who cut all her hair
like a butch.
And when l was little,
she used to have stre--
My mom
used to have stretch marks...
that went around in circles.
But l used to roll marbles
on her stomach--
my mom's stomach--and when
l would hit the navel...
she'd give me five dollars.
When l'd hit the navel,
she'd give me five dollars.
When l would hit
the side of her arm...
she would fuckin' hit me, man...
with a--a fuckin'...
a--a--a hairbrush...
or she would beat me...
l had a lesbian midwife
who gave birth to my mother...
while l was born
through my mother's womb.
My mother,
when she was thirty years old...
she entered menopause.
She sprouted a fuckin' mustache.
She lost her sex drive.
Everything in the house
started to change.
The way she would do the dishes
would change...
or the way
she would clean the cabinets...
out of the house would change.
OK, so my sister,
she gets a complex.
She starts thinking, because
my mother has menopause...
at such an earlier--
at such an early age...
that she's gonna lose
all her sex drive...
and then her mustache is gonna
come out like my mom's mustache.
l can't shoot ball
like Michael Jordan can...
but that's all right, though,
you know?
l'm also gay.
Don't be nervous.
l ain't being nervous.
Now, there's something
special about you.
Something special l want.
Will you kiss me?
You're not gay.
lt's all right.
My mother rejected me,
my father rejected me.
There was no love
in the household.
l was beaten, l was abused.
l had people stick shit
up my rectum.
Will you hug me? Just hug me.
-l'll give you a hug, man.
-Just hug me.
Seriously,
just calm down, just hug me.
Just give me some warmth.
Just hug.
Just hug me for a little bit,
because l'm so lonely.
l'm so--l've got no one.
There's no one left.
l've got no one left.
l've got no one to love me
anymore.
l'll die here on this couch
with you.
My father worked the late shift
as a bathroom attendant.
My father was mugged
on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
For the rest of his days
on earth...
my father never celebrated
this holiday.
-With my sister.
-With your sister?
Wait till her husband finds out.
Oh, shit,
don't do nothing about it.
You'll come up dead,
laying in a ditch.
Yeah, you did, you liar.
No, l didn't. l never hit it.
Well, shoot,
you never know about that.
You Jarrod Wiggley?
You know Huntz?
He told me some stuff about you.
What did he say?
He said you'd been killing cats.
For, like, the past three weeks.
When do you go out?
Do it during the day usually?
No. l do it mostly at night.
You shoot 'em?
No. l put glass in tuna fish.
But mostly, l sprinkle poison
around the dumpsters...
like in the corners...
or around back
behind the church over there.
Huntz said
you take care of your granny.
Yeah. She's sick.
How old is she?
She's, like, l don't know,
probably ninety or ninety-one.
-Do you bathe her?
-Yeah.
l have to scrub her off
with a big sponge.
Do you have to change
her diaper?
Yeah. l hate that shit.
l hate all that shit.
Does she speak to herself?
No. She don't speak anymore.
She's catatonic.
She used to speak to herself.
She'd watch game shows...
and yell out
stuff to herself all the time.
She used to throw darts, right?
Yeah.
She used to have a dartboard.
So now you just take care
of your granny?
You kill cats, too?
l'm sick of everything.
l can't understand what the fuck
is wrong with people...
in this world.
They sit around. They don't know
what the fuck is going on.
-They're stupid.
-Fuck, they're ignorant.
They're--they're fuckers.
l fuckin' hate myself.
They--they--they...
sit there in their pretend
little lives...
in their homes...
Hold on. Cassidey.
What's up, man?
-How you doin'?
-Good. You?
Yeah, good.
You guys ride your bikes
over here?
You bring me--
You brought my money?
-Yeah. Right here.
-Good.
Come on, let's go in the house.
Come on.
Man.
l got to tell you,
she had a migraine headache...
earlier today.
She almost wanted to call
the whole thing off, OK?
But l gave her--
l gave her some aspirin.
Cool. Hey, thanks a lot.
-l'm gonna go fuck her now.
-Wait. You want to fuck her?
Are you gonna fuck her, too?
All right, you got to hold on.
Hey, Cassidey.
Hey, put on that bathrobe thing.
Hey, put that on.
All right.
She's ready.
-You ready?
-Yeah.
OK, you got
to keep the light on.
All right.
You all right?
You good?
You ready?
All right, come on.
Hi, Solly.
Are you clean?
Did you use soap?
Let me smell your wrist.
Smells good.
-How does it smell like?
-Like fruit, like cherries.
My mom gives me cherry shampoo.
l like cherries.
l put cherries on my ice cream.
l like the name of cherry.
Cherries.
You got hands like a girl.
No, l don't.
Yes, you do.
Can l read your fortune?
This big line says
you're gonna be a millionaire.
lt says your--
lt says your wife will die
in a hay fire.
But l don't have a wife.
You will,
but it ain't gonna be me.
-Do you love me?
-Yes.
Do you think l'm attractive?
No. You look fine
the way you are--skinny.
When l sit down to eat,
l get sexy!
When l go to bed, l get hungry!
l saw a man lying in the street,
and l said, ''Can l help you?''
He said, ''No.
l just found a parking space.
''Now l sent my wife
to go buy a car!''
lt's just murder what's going on
with people these days.
Just the other day,
right here in Xenia, Ohio...
a man walked up to me and said,
''l haven't eaten in 3 days.''
l said, ''Force yourself!''
Another man
walked up to me and said...
''l haven't eaten in a week!''
l said, ''Don't worry.
lt tastes the same!''
All right! We're rolling!
l love this crowd!
Peoples got to work
for a livin'.
l believe in a blue-collar race.
l think suicide's
the only way out--out of life.
l wanted to die.
l tried to die, but l didn't.
They say it's my depression,
but what the fuck, man?
l don't fuckin' know anymore.
Which way
should l fuckin' turn, man?
Shut up!
-l hate that dog.
-l hate it, too.
lt's mean and ugly.
lt's got two sets of teeth,
like a shark.
That's why Roy calls it Sharky.
Yeah. The other day l saw it
eating a turkey bone.
l swear it looked like
it was choking on the bone.
l wish it would choke
and shut up.
Yeah. l was gonna go tell
Miss Barry, but--
After the last time?
After last time, l didn't even
want to get near her front door.
''You kids
get out of my front yard...
''or l'm calling the police!''
-You want sparkles?
-Hell, no.
You don't want sparkles?
l want sparkles, Darb.
You can do my toes.
OK. When l'm done with hers.
Don't rush her.
You're getting better, Darb.
This woman and this man,
they was married.
Was real good friends
until another woman came along.
Now they're lesbians.
Disgusting--two women
biting at each other...
if you get my drift.
l think that--that's nasty.
Man, l get the chills.
l'm a party boy.
Not only that...
you'll be--be pickin' up
women in your pickup, man.
Yeah. My pickup, man. Yeah.
That's the way l am.
Turn fifteen, l'm partyin'.
Without wood,
there'd be no America.
No ships to bring the pilgrims
across the ocean.
No log cabins,
no schoolhouses...
no churches,
no covered wagons...
no railroad ties...
no cigar store indians...
no nothin'.
Solomon, are you down there?
What are you doing
lifting weights?
-l'm lifting.
-You'll stunt your growth.
You're gonna get
peg leg shoulders...
and pinched neck nerves.
lt's not good to lift
while you're growing.
l can see your shoulder
popping out.
Look at the way
it raises and gets smaller...
raises and gets smaller.
You're gonna pop out a joint.
That's not healthy.
Look at it. lt's gonna pop.
Your dad's old taps.
He used to be good.
He said he was blessed
with the gift of tap.
Took up tapping
when he got his bald spot.
He wanted to get transplants...
but l thought
that was a bit drastic.
Told him if he wanted to,
he should take up tap.
He put up the mirror.
He said if Marlene Dietrich
could see him dance...
she would fall in love.
What do you want
with Marlene Dietrich?
She had her bottom ribs
surgically removed...
so she'd have
more of an hourglass figure.
Don't you know stars are flawed?
Will you smile?
Come on, l want a smile.
Tuck in that tummy.
One smile. Come on.
l'm gonna tickle you
till you smile.
Flatten that tummy.
Hold your shoulders in.
Do you miss your dad? l do.
Come on, hold that tummy in.
Come on,
can you smile for me, please?
OK, you son of a bitch...
if you don't smile,
l'm gonna kill you, OK?
l've killed before,
and l will kill again.
l will pick up your brains
all over the floor.
You came out of my womb...
and l'll stick you
right back in my womb.
lf you don't smile,
l'm going to kill you.
Yeah, party.
Break dance.
l have a good personality.
l have blond hair, blue eyes.
l'm a hundred
and thirty-five pounds...
and l'm 4' 10 1/2.
l have very light skin.
l am considered
what you would call an albino.
l like men
that are very sensitive...
that will sit down and watch
a good movie with me...
won't hit on me...
will love me for me.
l like men that either have
blond hair, blue eyes...
or...
black or brown hair.
Actually, the eyes,
it really doesn't matter.
My favorite movie stars are...
Pamela Anderson
and Patrick Swayze.
Patrick Swayze is sexy.
He's good-lookin'.
l love that man to death.
l would pay money to touch him.
When l was born...
l was born without any toes
on my feet at all.
l would pick things up
with the balls of my feet...
instead of my toes.
l had trouble
walking on my feet.
Clifford Dumkin
is the fat cocaine addict...
who lives down by my house.
He's into wife-swapping
and sex parties.
He gives girls cocaine,
and he fucks them...
in front of different kids
in the neighborhood.
Every time l see him...
he's got cocaine
all over his mustache.
-Watch her eyes.
-l want a mustache, damn it!
-Get her underbelly.
-Her underbooty.
-Get her nipples.
-l want a mustache!
lt's OK, Foot Foot.
l want to look like
Burt Reynolds!
l want a mustache, damn it!
Oh, baby, it's OK.
-Gotta calm down.
-l want a mustache, damn it!
Get down!
No! Get down now!
Do you still miss her?
Yeah. There's not a day goes by
that l don't miss her.
Sure seems that way sometimes.
Yeah. Yeah, it does.
Do you think
she looked a little like me?
Yeah, she looked
a little bit like you.
She's in heaven now.
Yeah, she's in heaven now.
What was she like?
Oh, she's--Brown hair.
She drinked, you know,
a little bit...
but she was a good person.
She was real nice, she was.
When l was a kid,
l remember growin' up.
There was this man
that raised me.
His wife walked around
in her underclothes...
and he'd always tell us...
all us boys
that worked for him--
you know, when you'd come in...
she'd be walking around
getting ready for work--
told us not to bug her.
They always warned us,
you know, don't--
you can look, but don't touch.
lt was hard to do...
when there was something
tempting in front of you...
as pretty and good-lookin'
as she was...
you know and everything.
But you got to respect
somebody else's wife...
in other words.
His dad never gave a crap.
Not even at the end of his game.
lt was scary to see him
despondent like that.
His dad didn't care
for mom much, either...
or the little doggie.
He started going to church...
and he started listening
to the gospels.
lt was expected
when he robbed the neighbors.
He took their wine...
and he took
some rings and fine jewelry.
l think he got a fur coat
as well.
When he had a kid...
he didn't think
to watch his ways.
He felt the same as his daddy.
Come on, put it back up.
-Let's go!
-Come on, man!
Go! Go, God damn it!
-Fuckin' get it!
-Put it up!
-Let's go.
-Tell me when you're ready.

-Got beat, didn't ya?
-Hell, yeah!
Shit!
Don't you know it's a sin
to get beat by your son?
Shoop, shoop, shoop
He got beat, he got beat
He got beat by his own son
He got beat, he got beat
He got beat by his own son
He got beat, he got beat
He got beat by Tummy
He got beat,
he got beat by mummy
-Who's next?
-Who's next?
How about the girls?
You two wrestle--
have an arm wrestle.
-Come on. Get it goin'.
-Get it on!
Let's see what we got.
You sit there and there.
All right, let's see it.
Do they even know
how to arm wrestle?
Now, are you guys ready?
You guys ready?
On your mark--
No holdin' the table.
Hand up in the air.
Get steady...

-Come on!
Go, God damn it! Yeah!

-l take pride--

She did her bit. She tried.
You gave it all.
Any more fucking beer?
-That's it.
-Fuck.
Man, fuck all this bullshit.
l can piss in this bottle,
fill it back up.
-Fuck that.
-Have to go for a beer run.
-Who's next?
-The big man, little man!
Let's get it. Come on.
That's what l want to see.
Let's go, buddy.
Show him what you got, man.
Fuck him up.
-Come on!
-Ready?
Go!
Come on! Get it! Get it!
-Go! Go!
-Come on!
You got it! Come on! Get him !
Fuck this shit!
Damn!
Fuck this shit, man!
Did the little man get you,
buddy?
-Motherfucker.
-You should be ashamed.
Fuck all y'all motherfuckers.
Loser.
You can lose with pride,
though, man, shit.
Little fuck
can break our assholes anyway.
Not true, motherfucker.
Aren't you a little girly
from Salt Lake City?
Two-quart legs
and two rubber titties.
Two-quart legs
and two rubber titties...
She loves electricity,
but she burns off gas.
Got a V-8 pussy
and a cadillac ass.
That little girl
from Salt Lake City...
two-quart legs
and two rubber titties.
Loves electricity,
but she burns off gas.
Got a V-8 pussy
and a cadillac ass.
Get in there!
Don't let him get on you, man!
Get him out! Come on!
Come on, man, get him down!
Fuck him up! Come on!

-Come on!
-Stomp his head!

Come on!
Teach that motherfucker.
There you go!
Hit him in the head!
Smash his brains!
Look at that.
-Ain't no ambulance.
-Oh, well.
Spit on him.
Life's a bitch,
and then you die.
There you go.
lt's a cat trap.
l want it high.
The doctor said they're
gonna have to take off...
one of my boobies...
and l know what happens
when they do that.
Boys'll stop looking at me...
and once,
when l finally meet a guy...
that likes me,
and he sees my scar...
he'll just stop talking to me
for no reason.
Boys are like that.
Dear world...
l have confusion around me in
every direction from my brain.
l've tried and tried to make it
here in this fucking world...
but l think it was a mistake
that l was ever born.
l do not feel guilty
about taking my own life.
l've tried your ways.
l've had a job
since l was thirteen years old.
Making a living
was never a real problem for me.
The problem was all l see
is misery and darkness.
Die, die, die.
l'll put a gun
to my fucking head right now.
l'm so pissed l could kill you,
but l'm not going to.
Life is beautiful.
Really it is.
Full of beauty and illusions.
Life is great.
Without it, you'd be dead.
l think one of the reasons
she didn't struggle so much...
is l said,
''You're a black witch.
''We're giving you
the greatest honor...
''to sit at the right hand
of Arioch in hell.''
Jarrod ain't here.
Go like that.
He's got a gay one.
Come on.
ls she dead?
She's alive on that machine.
She stinks.
Her life is over.
She smells like baked ham.
Bet she could live like this
forever.
Do you think
she'll ever wake up?
Hell, no.
She's dead as hell.
Go over and shoot her
in the foot.
Why?
Try and wake her up.
Shoot her in the foot.
l told you she's dead.
Could live forever
on one of these gadgets.
She'll be dead now.
She's always been dead.
She's been gone a long time.
She sure stinks.
French fries, sittin' on a bench
May l, want l, fifteen cents
You miss, you miss
You miss like this
This is my baby...
and l breast-feed it.
l'm its mother.
l...
l love my babies.
l love...
to handle babies...
because l love my babies.
And l kiss them on their head--
on their bald head.
And l rub its head.
l love it...
and l hug it...
then l kiss it, then l rub it.
l rub its head.
Sometimes, though,
l do something. l do it.
My mom tells me, ''Do something,''
then l do it.
And l do it and do it.
l clean house.
l sweep the floor.
''Get in there
and mop that floor up.''
l get in here
and mop the floor up.
Whether it's water
or whether it's not water...
l clean it up.
And then when l cleaned it up...
l had it all straightened up,
even my dolls and all--
straightened up.
Now l always keep my toys...
because l take care of them.
And l always do, and l always do
take care of them.
And then,
when l went to a store...
l came back, and l got
in a hurry behind the car...
and l broke
a--a spaghetti sauce.
And when l did,
l got in trouble for it.
And then, l didn't break it...
but this always happens.
And then l turned around
and looked...
and l said, ''Laurel,
you going to have to pray.
''No, you got to pray.''
And she said, ''Pray about what?''
And l said,
''You going to have to pray.''
You do have to pray...
white or black or whatever.
Some people came by here.
We're going to have
a lot of people here today.
So we had to get up

and we did.
Here it goes.
Ooh, boy. l'm getting that stuff

Well, well, well.

How much further is it
to where you saw Foot Foot?
lt's right nearby here.
lt's right around here.
Where?
Well, l'm not sure exactly,
but is there a map?
There's a map in the glove box
or here somewhere.
Maybe it's under the seat
down there.
Let me...let me see
if l can reach it.
-l don't see no map around.
-Maybe l can...
What are you doing?
Why'd you try and touch

For awhile

For awhile
But l saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped
To say hello
Oh, you wished me well
You couldn't tell
That l'd been
Crying
Over you
Crying
Over you
And you
Said so long
Left me standing
All alone
Alone and crying
Crying

But the touch
Of your hand
Can start me crying

Was over you
But it's true
So true

Than l did before
But, darling, what can l do?
For you don't
Love me
And l'll always be
Crying
Over you
Crying
Over you

And from this moment on

Crying
Crying
Crying
Yeah, crying
Crying
Over
You
Yes, Jesus loves me
For the bible tells me so
Dial it now. lt's a bad dime.
