i wanna get out of my house.

you know, i appreciate you always coming with me. i know you'd probably rather be doing something else.

it's beautiful, isn't it?

thank you. god bless you.

never crossed my mind, thinking about that.

i wanna show you something.

they was just jealous.

make a wish before that candle burns out.

it is our delusions that lead us to sin.

whoo! that'll wake you up.

good gracious. it's hot, ain't it?

i've got the holy ghost in me!

it's the best present i ever got. thank you.

well, what's the problem then, son?

how about i buy you a candy bar, huh?

you piece of shit!

wonder if you'd consider selling me it.

it's bound to get hotter.

come on, give me a hand.

you want your mama to die?

where'd you go?

she might have come with us, if you'd paid her a little more attention.

be right back with you, hon.

i just thought, seeing as i was this way, i'd stop by and see the old place again.

that ain't an accident.

get some shots off down there while the light's still good.

i've been run through the wringer!

we could start over.

what did you do about it?

i ain't gonna take the blame for no bastard child!

now, you pray on..

god'll hear us.

you want another twinkie?

there's debt you owe me.

before i found the holy ghost, i was scared plumb to death of spiders.

better not be one of them goddamn window peepers you keep calling about.

i'm not doing that no more, you hear me?

now you remember what i told you?

you get it all in the cup?

she'd always been sort of fucked up.

oh, shit! hey, take it easy!

damn. that's gonna be one fine sunset.

here, let me have that.

so what kind of candy bar you gonna get, huh?

i'm thinking we take a walk, be fine to pray outside and adore them trees.

don't take her from me.

this spot looks about as good a place as any, don't it?

whatcha having, honey?

god dammit, boy.

i love you and i will always remember the things that you have done for me.

you sound like a christian.

you mean to tell me you're not gonna have a drink with a pretty little thing like her?

it seemed to his son that his father fought the devil all the time.

we gotta do something.

lord, that's good stuff.

hell, they having a little revival meetin'.

girl, you been crying?

from what folks tell me, they got a right good message.

you fucking around?

as far as everybody around here is concerned your daddy's probably still out there somewhere alive and kicking.

everything's gonna be okay.

he would do anything to protect her.

oh, it's so good to see you, honey.

he ain't a coward, he went and got himself killed.

why don't you take that hat off, boy.

what's this girl's name?

you stabbed your wife in the neck with a screwdriver, tried to bring her back from the dead and then buried her body.

wouldn't you take a piece of that?

he preached on it for years, but still didn't know what to expect.

i told you i don't like this anymore.

pray, god dammit.

we keep saving, we could probably buy it. wouldn't that be something?

the lord don't like dark places.

there should be a road somewhere up here on the right.

shut your mouth. we both know that ain't never gonna happen.

now, you pray on what happened today.

here, you give me that heavy old bag.

just be you and me, sweetheart.

i'm just gonna take my break outside.

i just want you to know that i ain't never forgot it.

well.. it was a rough time.

i've been watching your every move for the last couple weeks.

what's that smell?

i left her a dollar tip, though.

don't fuck with me!

ain't no human head big enough to calculate misery like that!

you're coming with me today, boy.

it wasn't that bad. it wasn't that bad.

that was good.

i figure he'd want you to have it.

get off the couch.

you can understand that, can't you?

you ain't losing nothing there.

when the man who puts extra money in your pockets asks why you're as red as a newborn baby, you tell him who the whore is.

there's no doubt, we're all humble people gathered here.

ol' jesus probably had his fair share of bad mornings.

i'm so ashamed.

i'll have to think about it.

what happened today. now, remember, be honest. no bullshittin', he'll know.

i bet he ain't got two nickels to rub together.

are you crazy?

do what i say, you son of a bitch.

what in the hell is this?

the holy ghost is going to visit this little church that bears his sacred name!

it wasn't my fault.

i forgot my damn keys.

that is a nice gift, though.

i was just looking the land over.

i got no rest from them devils!

he has lots of grass to play on now.

there's a lot of no good sons of bitches out there.

well, that's what i'm here for.

have you shown yourself as the lord made you?

i'm so sorry.

i was a runt, hiding under my mother's long skirts, spiders crawling through my dreams.

what is it you're most afraid of? hmm? because if your worst fear is rats, well.. satan'll make sure you get your fill of them.

how about we check into a motel?

they were gonna kill me, i swear.

don't be crying, you hear?

he's dead.

you're coming out back with me today, boy.

what you got there?

didn't you hear anything i said?

you know that she ain't hardly been out of her bed since the funeral?

can i come with you?

it should be a good thing, helping someone out.

i'm sorry for bringing it up.

i don't know if you have anywhere you gotta be but, uh.. maybe we can take a drive.

behold! the lord looks out for me now!

i'll take coffee if you got any.

so good to see you. thank you for coming.

there's a girl from church i want you to meet.

i might be gone a while.

i don't understand people that won't pick up strangers.

i was asleep.

well, she won't forget that.

got time for a sinner?

i've got an election to think about.

i just don't know much about the bible is all.

she got it in her head that i was the father.

once i'd had a taste, i just couldn't get enough.

please do not try and find me.

you know, we did him a favor.

you don't look too good.

it didn't have anything to do with you.

how can you be close to god stuck in there?

i know there's other things you wanna be doing probably.

your dinner's ready.

get the fuck out of my diner.

that was nice, what you did.

well, i ain't never got her name.

you got a new toy?

you're gonna kill him!

rent seems fair for what we get.

that's gonna cost me my money.

see that one in the wheelchair? drank too much strychnine or antifreeze, or something is why he can't walk.

he'd never win a fist fight, but he could recite the book of revelation in his sleep.

what do you want?

what i'm about to do, i do because i have to, not because i want to.

i never missed church before.

some people just need a little help once in a while, you know what i mean?

you ever go and beat the shit outta someone i made my money off?

i won't speak to nobody else.

i ain't no rush.

come on, you dumb son of a bitch.

he's just a preacher.

only in the presence of death could he feel the presence of something like god.

did you need anything else?

somebody left us a pie.

i hate to tell you this, but that place burned some years ago.

where you headed?

you still got the bullshit in you, ain't you?

what you got planned after school?

maybe that's where he belonged.

i had fear in me all the time, awake or asleep, didn't matter.

what's your name, sweetie?

you'll see them, eating away at you whilst you lay there unable to lift a single finger. and it won't ever cease.

he's gonna fuckin' kill him!

no, you go on and take another one.

you know i can't afford anything like that.

i'll be praying for you.

yeah, well, that ain't my problem.

some people were born just so they could be buried.

get out. i told you last time.

what the fuck is going on out here?

how's about we, uh.. go see your mama's grave when you're better? sound all right?

i got some things to do before we go home.

sorry i didn't come today.

come on out so we can have us a talk!

that sounds like a crazy person who killed his wife.

no sense in you napping in here like a house cat all day.

get the fuck off me!

don't eat my scraps.

that's your weekly earnings 'til we're square.

you have a nice face.

we got cozy rooms in the back if you need some company.

people like me in this town.

shit, i'm thinking now'd be a good time to pay his old lady a visit.

i never did have that.

if we stay off highways, we should be fine.

we're kin, we gotta look out for each other.

you back home from the war?

they got a little trigger, back there in their throat.

you take pictures?

come on and pray with me.

everything's from the bible, honey.

is everything all right?

you ain't got nothing to be ashamed of.

we're saving money to buy the house one day, so things are gonna be tight for a while.

huh? ain't she somethin'?

i've been thinking, maybe the lord wants you to come out into the light.

there was nothing to do but forget his sorry ass.

get the fuck out of here!

there's money to be made if a man of the law is careful and doesn't get a big head.

i don't like this gospel shit.

you look like you've been traveling.

do you really want these hands touching you?

will you get me some sugar?

you got a deposit to make, sir?

i'm just passing through.

maybe you should try praying for 'em then.

remember that night you brought me up here?

that preacher's a little flashy.

i gotta go check in on her, she ain't been feeling too good.

been a while, ain't it?

looks like you had a rough day.

there's just some things we can't understand.

you're so damn ugly, i'd need a sack over your head just to get a hard-on.

he came every morning and evening to talk to god.

i know. i felt the need to celebrate. i'm in love.

please save my wife.

i got no use for handguns myself.

i bet he just wanted them chicken livers all for his own self.

i'm giving you a good thing here, buddy.

it's nothing. i just get down sometimes.

are you not coming?

me losing money is gonna cost you your cut.

i know you like this waitress.

you got any candy?

you get some rest.

we didn't go to church much when i was a kid.

i'll get myself elected.

i've been doing wrong and i wanna get right by the lord.

y'all have been awful nice to me and i thank you from the bottom of my heart for the welcome.

what's going on here, mister?

i don't understand what you're talking about.

if we just pray hard enough the lord can do anything if you just ask him right.

son of a bitch has it coming.

we need your help, and i know you can do it.

don't you worry about that pus-gutted blowhard.

you'll feel better in the morning.

i would appreciate it if you all would try and make him feel welcome.

i told you, sweetie, it's only matter of time.

i wanna get some shots of your ugly old mug sitting next to a pretty lady.

hut the fuck up.

i don't wanna go to church.

oh, come on, sweetie.

i hear you! yes, i am here!

you've been spying on me, boy?

you touch my sister again, i'll kill you. do you understand me?

ain't no man ever been evil enough.

we'll sit out and drink some beer.

stop tearing my damn kitchen apart.

there's a quiet place i found i like to go and pray on things.

the girl's family burned up in a house fire leaving the poor thing all alone.

what the fuck you talking about?

why don't you just lie down on that blanket there on your side.

i got the urge to pray again.

is that blood on your face?

still thinking about that gun you showed me.

those little shits keep picking on him. it ain't right.

pray like you mean it.

i've never heard of such a thing.

not that you'd appreciate it, but tears make for a good photograph.

i'm saying you must be crazy.

i ain't prayin'!

why don't you put the gun down and we can talk all about it.

you're gonna fuck my wife and i'm gonna take some pictures, that's all.

the spirit will take away your fears if you're willing!

i'm gonna scramble some eggs. you want some?

i've done.. lustful acts.

envy. brings out the worst in people.

maybe we should just get out of here.

we are so happy you're here.

oh, no, i'm not scared!

them boys might be bigger than you. but the next time one of them starts his shit, i want you to finish it. you understand?

sorry to come by so early, i was on my way to work and i thought i might chew your ear.

don't you touch that fuckin' camera there, son.

i got me a pretty wife at home.

we'll just take a few pictures and then the big dumb bastard will leave us alone.

i remember everything about that night.

don't act like you do nothing wrong.

i know you're down there somewhere!

i could tell the police what happened, that it was an accident.

what can i get ya?

roll up your window.

oh, lord, i was so worried.

shotgun's what'll do you good.

lord knows where a person who ain't saved might end up.

anyway, everyone says ain't no one doesn't like you, you know that.

you might not even be an orphan.

i never been so embarrassed in all my life.

mister, i do appreciate this.

where'd you hear that?

i know what my daddy did.

well, what is it, son?

what about your father?

don't fuckin' lie to me!

i never got your name.

hon, give me the key.

this photo really meant something to him.

what the hell is this?

god had a tendency of asking men to make sacrifices in order to prove their faith.

i was like you when i was your age.

i'm sure the lord will forgive you for missing one sunday.

don't you worry none.

you don't drink?

i would ask you to get down and thank jesus with me, but i can smell the liquor on your breath.

what you think?

get down there.

i ain't gonna sleep tonight as it is.

i don't wanna shoot you! put the gun down!

he's as bad as they got on the damn radio.

she ever puke on you?

you think that guy lied to me?

that's right. don't y'all worry about me. maybe i oughta take me a nap.

i've already forgiven him.

now, that's what hell is like!

don't do anything you'll regret, son.

you know what would do you good?

i didn't think anybody was gonna pick me up.

give that to me! where did you find this?!

do you drink coffee or tea?

sorry– am i crazy, or have we met before?

do you trust me enough to close your eyes?

when were you planning on telling me?

at the risk of being a cliché, do you want to get out of here?

can i convince you to stay the night?

do i look like someone who knows what that means?

would you consider giving me a second chance?

do you really think that's helpful right now?

would you mind showing me around?

do you ever plan on forgiving yourself?

are you thinking what i'm thinking?

can we ... go out and do something crazy?

why are we whispering?

who exactly are you, anyways?

can't we just be civil for a minute?

does the past ever keep you up at night?

if you have nothing to hide, what's the problem?

how long has it been since i saw you last, [ name ]?

did the power just go out?

are we still doing the thing where we pretend not to care?

how should we celebrate?

can we just ... start over?

why is this so important to you?

how was i supposed to know that?!

do you want me to stay? it doesn't have to mean anything.

where are you? nobody's heard from you.

can you help me zip this up?

why do these things always happen to me?

you don't secretly hate me, right?

can i get you something to eat? –or drink?

ready to see what i've been working on?

where have you been disappearing off to?

what's that perfume you're wearing?

you're laughing?! do you really think this is funny?

are you planning to stay for dinner?

did you think it was going to be easy?

you see where you went wrong, don't you?

when did we become so cold and distant?

who are you working for?

did you really do all of this for me?

can i open my eyes yet?

haven't you heard the stories?

[ name ], what are you doing here?

what's it gonna take for you to trust me?

do you believe people can change?

how about we catch the ten o'clock showing?

don't you remember what happened last time?

why is it so unbelievable that i'd want to help you?

you're [ name ], aren't you?

who did this to you?!

how did you know i'd be here?

what's that supposed to mean?

do you think i'm irredeemable?

what kind of mess have you gotten us into?!

do you see anything you like?

what do i owe you for the food?

why won't this stupid thing work?!

does tonight really have to end?

holy shit. can you believe we really pulled that off?!

i can tell you're upset, [ name ]. what happened?

how long have you been standing there?

do you ever wish you could just ... run away?

haven't we been here before?

wait, shush ... did you hear that?

did i miss today's newsletter or something?

can we put our differences aside for a second?

what are you getting out of this, exactly?

you'd tell me if something was wrong, right?

are you willing to bet on it?

would you kill for me?

what made you think that was okay?!

do you believe people can change?

what's the worst thing you've ever done?

you were going to leave without saying goodbye?

[ name ], can you sit up for me?

can i kiss you?

where are your keys? you're not driving like this.

how's life been treating you?

where have you been?!

aren't we supposed to be alone tonight?

aw, has someone had a little too much to drink?

where are you going with this?

are we really doing this right now?

have you eaten today?

can i crash here for the night?

how did you learn to lie so well?

can i at least buy you a drink?

where should i meet you?

is that  ...  blood?!

are you trying to make me jealous right now?

what’s your problem? you're acting weird.

[ name ], you're ... real, right?

where’s your sense of adventure?

do you like horror movies?

what are you trying to prove?

can you give me a ride?

do you have any idea what you've done?

shouldn't you answer that?

why should i be the one to calm down?

have you been up all night?

why are you lying to me?

is that my [ jacket / hoodie / shirt ]?

what are you so afraid of?

do you want to grow old with me?

you’re gonna walk away from this?

are you nervous? your hands are shaking.

where am i supposed to go?

how many fingers am i holding up?

you want me to just walk away from this?

[ name ], slow down– what's wrong?!

are you embarrassed of me?

what's that smell? something's burning.

how can i make it up to you?

why can't you stay out of it?

is this some kind of trick?

come on, what do you have to lose?

do you ever still think of me?

idiot. why didn't you tell me?!

can we stop and think about this rationally?

how long has it been since you’ve slept?

what's your ideal first date?

are you ready to tell me the truth?

i almost died, and you're laughing?

what do you mean, "sort of"?

can we just stay like this forever?

when can i see you again?

can we put this behind us?

oh ... you thought of me first?

where did you learn to do that?

oh my god,  are you bleeding?!

where are you?  nobody’s heard from you.

[ name ], are you drunk?

how can i make this go away?

someone's jumpy today. are you feeling okay?

are we safe here?

what can i do to convince you?

what could possibly go wrong?

you have no idea who i am, do you?

how do you really feel about me?

why can't you look me in the eyes?

did you know you talk in your sleep?

were you following me?

can we just pretend this never happened?

are you just barely getting home?

are you even listening to me right now?!

where does it hurt?  can you show me?

are you trying to get yourself killed?!

how about we just forget the world exists?

how long have you been keeping this from me?

were you ever going to tell me?

what do you make of this?

[ name ],  what the hell?!

can we just be honest with each other, here?

are you trying to keep me a secret?

why does your story keep changing?

how long have you known?

it can't be that bad, right?

are you happy? i mean, really happy?

isn't this place amazing?

did i interrupt something?

how am i supposed to trust you?

are they still following us?

are you fucking serious?

do you remember our first kiss?

can we take a break for a minute?

how about we disappear for awhile?

you're going to walk away from this?

can you please just cut the crap?!

why didn't you tell me you were hurt?

how can i make this go away?

can you just look at me, please?

is there anything i can do to change your mind?

do you ever stop talking?

that depends. are you done lying to me?

are you sure this is legal?

how do you take your coffee?

can you keep your voice down?
