"Ooh." "Ha ha." "Any new business on Virgil, homes?" "Virgil?" "No." "You know, we still have the... you know, maybe... we still have a couple of taxes." "Hey, Amanda." "Come here." "You know, feeling young and being cool and" "Hey, what's up?" "You guys like hip-hop?" "Hey, ese, that's my homegirl." "Hey, don't talk like that." " l'll be right back." " What's the matter, ese?" "Hey, Em, sweetie, Ok, I think we'd better see... about getting the girls and gettin' home, Ok?" "Ok." "Sorry." "Hey, I'll be right there." "Hector... thanks." "I'm Allison." "Hey, check it out." "I was gonna move this party to a motel-  the Alvarado." " Mm-hmm." "That's bad, girl." "What's that face you got right there, huh?" "It' not even like that." "It' just a place where we party, you know?" "I got a friend who gives us a few rooms." "Kick back." "Nobody abducted your ass so far." "Thanks for letting us chill." "Yeah." "Hey, don't forget, Ok?" "Alvarado Motel, just south of 1 2th Street." "I can't believe we just fucking did that!" "Yo, Alli's always on tip." "That was so much more fun... than giving some rapper a blow job at Jerry's Deli." "It was hot!" "Ha ha ha ha!" "Do you want anything?" "No." "Thank you, though." "Yeah." "We don't talk so much as leave clues for one another." "I'm not a latchkey kid." "I have latchkey parents." "So, uh, are your latchkey parents... the reason you decided to join a gang?" "Oh... poor little rich girl needs the gang... as mi familia." "That's funny." "Someone once said friends are just God's way... of apologizing for family." "How can I complain?" "If I say one word, it's, like..." ""Look at your life." "There are people starving in India."" "There are people starving in Santa Monica, you know." "I thought they take them downtown to starve." "All I'm saying is, you know, that's not an excuse." "I'm not making excuses." "Hey, you don't have to get angry about it." "I'm just interviewing you." "I'm not getting angry." "Let me ask you something." "Hypothetically... is it... possible... that all... this... is really about you... being attracted to me?" "Heh." "Maybe." "I don't know." "Oh, I think you do." "You're a smart guy." "You just don't know if I feel the same way... so... you're playing hard-to-get in your guy way." "It' so dishonest." "Have you noticed that when you get serious... you stop talking all, you know, street and dope and shit?" "I can be lots of people." "I can be like you." "Hmm." "Gee, Dr. McConnelly, your... position on cultural ethics is fascinating... and really applies to the post-Clinton era... in American politics." "I... just... I just can't wait till I'm old enough to vote!" "Allison... do you want to be a different person?" "Do you want to make love to me?" "No, seriously, though." "Isn't this what all the clothes and the talk-- you know, isn't that what it's all about?" "No, seriously." "Do you want to fuck me?" "I'm just trying to get to know you here." "And you're acting like a porn star." "Oh, God, my nipples are hard!" "Oh, God!" "Oh, God!" "Oh, my God, Eric." "Eric, hooking up with you would feel so good." "Ohh..." "Do you ever take anything seriously?" "How do you know I'm not taking this seriously?" "Ha ha!" "Because this is a fucked-up power game." "Games are fun." "Could--could you cover up, please?" "Well, that's great footage, huh?" "That'll really get the math team going." "Yeah." "Thanks." "You know..." "What?" "It' nothing." "No, Eric." "What were you gonna say?" "Come on, I don't want to hurt your feelings." "You're gonna hurt my feelings?" "Heh." "Come on." "Say it." "No, it's just..." "You're one of the loneliest people I've ever met." "What you doin' around here... looking all homegirl and shit?" "I always dress like this." "Oh, yeah?" "Wow." "Here I am, trying to look like I got the money... and you're tryin' to look like me." "Fuckin' white people." "So, you shoppin' like the other night?" "'Cause you know I got the real shit, huh?" "No." "I'm just lookin'." "You just looking, huh?" "Yeah, so am I." "I'm just looking, too." "Aah!" "Hey, Hector!" "Hey, why do you hang out here all the time?" "I mean, couldn't you make more money somewhere else?" "Somewhere else?" "Where the fuck you want me to be at, huh?" "Beverly Hills, sell some rock on Rodeo Drive?" "It' my world right here." "It' my home." "It' where I live." "I got my homeys." "I got my rucas." "Who the fuck am I someplace else, huh?" "Oh, hey, what's up?" "Money comes to me, girl." "You make it sound too fuckin' easy." "Hmm." "Oh, you think so?" "Shit." "You know what the most fucked up thing is?" "What?" "People come around here and they think... that all we do is sell drugs here, you know?" "People live here." "People grow up here." "You know?" "Look up there." "My Tia Maria lives up there." "I got a few primos who live over there." "What's a primo?" "Primo's a cousin." "Got it." "Hey." "Hey, hey... don't talk dirty, homes." "She's here with me." "She didn't fuck you last time." "You think she's gonna fuck you this time?" "Hey, hey." "Leave her alone, homes." "I don't think your friend likes me." "He's my brother." "He's my older brother." "He's big-time here." "Listen, I want to show you something." "Come here." "Heh heh." "Come here." "Have a seat." "I want you to be my eyes with me." "Lookit." "Every... body..." "smokes... rock." "Rock doesn't only get the poor people off." "You got everything-- got Mercedes, got BMW" "!" "Vamonos!" "L.A.P.D.!" "Stay where you are!" "Oh, fuck!" "Hands where I can see 'em!" "Come on, now, girl." "Let me see your hands." "Chino." "Hands on your head." "Interlace your fingers." "Put 'em on the back of your head." "Let's go, Hector." "Spit out the cigarette." "Spit it out." "Easy." "Come on." "Let's go." "This way." "Let's see those hands." "Turn around." "Up against the fence." "Let's go." "Keep moving." "Spread your legs." "Spread 'em." "You got some l.D.?" "Yeah." "is there anything in here-- Hands on your head!" "is there anything in here I need to know about?" " No." " Knife?" "Needles?" "Gun?" "Pacific Palisades." "You get lost looking for Hollywood?" "Spit it out!" "Spit it out!" "Spit it out!" "What we got?" "Forty worth of rock." "You should've swallowed it, Ace." "You're under arrest." "Yeah, I got something you can swallow." "Come on, I want to talk with you." "You can drop 'em." "Look, just tell me the truth." "No." "Listen, l--l stopped to ask for directions... because..." "I missed the 10 by accident" "Ok, that's it." "You're underage, you're loitering... and you're going down to the station." "Oh, my" "Get in the car!" "Watch your head." "The cop started asking me these really stupid questions... like, what's closer to you now-- the moon or Europe?" "Fuck you is closer to me now." "I've been to Knott's Berry Farm." "Ha ha ha ha!" "What'd you do?" "Hmm?" "Me?" "No, the debutante sitting next to you." "Fuck." "Vice cop asked me where my dick is." "Darling, I did Axl Rose... and you don't get him with a dick down there." "You don't got any Dilaudid shoved up your ass... to get her to stop doing that." "Heh." "No." "Positive?" "You can check if you like." "Ha ha ha ha!" "Ha ha ha ha ha!" "Yeah. ln your dreams." "Allison Lang?" "Yeah." "Your parents are here." "Bitch got parents?" "You got arrested!" "With crack dealers!" "Maybe this hasn't been the easiest place to live lately." "All right." "Then we talk about it." "That's what we're supposed to do." "One of us has a problem, we all talk it over." "Oh, right." "Who are you kidding?" "Who could ever talk to you when you're never even here?" "Well, I'm gonna make it easy for you to find me." "You're grounded." "Hasn't she already suffered enough" "And besides, what good would it do?" "Wha-- l don't want any soup, Mom." "What were you doing downtown in the first place?" "I was sick of this phony life." "All right, stop it, stop it, both of you." "This whole thing is just gonna go away." "Tomato or chicken with rice?" "Alli, you're so fucking down." "Like, doing hard time and shit?" "No." "No, it wasn't like that." "Come on." "I heard that you hit a cop... and you got into a knife fight." "No." "No, no, guys." "It was more like... detention." "See ya later." "Bye." "Heh." "So, I wonder what Daddy thought." "Please." "Daddy waved his magic wand and it went away." " Whoa." " What's your problem?" "Hey, what the fuck is this I'm hearing?" "Yo, she was in lockup, motherfucker." "What?" "Well, going to jail is fucked up." "What?" "It was juvenile detention center." "Did you go back down to that fucking spot?" "Huh?" "Hey, shorty, you gettin' a rap sheet?" "The man gonna be fuckin' three-strikin' your ass, kid." "How you gonna rep it without the P.L.C., huh?" "Yo, maybe she don't need the P.L.C., motherfucker." "Fucking P.L.C. is the only family we got." "Ooh, I'm scared now." " Let's bounce." "Why you gotta be like that?" "They don't even know what family is." "You don't want to think that you're with someone... just because everyone else thinks you should be... because we're not assigned to people like, you know... parking spaces, and, um... and you do love him, you know?" "I mean..." "God, you've known him forever... and he's great and fun, and it makes sense, and..." "So, yeah, the whole thing seems predetermined... but, um..." "Heh." "You find yourself, like... giving him a blow job, and it feels like a performance." "Ok, it is a performance." "But, um, ha ha ha!" "Um, what I mean is that... that you can't, like... feel it." "It doesn't even seem real." "It seems like a dream... like you're just... sleepwalking through your life, you know?" "Does that make any sense?" "Yeah." "But what-- what isn't a dream?" "Ok." "Um... the other night, I was with Emily... and we were at this crazy party downtown... and... I don't know." "We just sat there together and..." "And what?" "I don't know." "I just love her, you know?" "It seemed real." "So, what was it like in there?" "It was totally fuckin' real." "It smelled like puke... and it was so bright, it made my eyes hurt." "And there were these hookers in there... and it was, like, business as usual for them." "And this one white chick... who thought she was super-bad, but... I think she just wanted to appropriate my wardrobe." "Heh." "I love your nails." "Were you scared?" "Oh, I was scared shit." "I don't know." "I was helpless, but... excited." "What if it's, like... we're on our deathbeds... and we're looking back at our lives... and, like, all the guys we've, like, loved... and just, like, fucked, and... and it turns out that, like, the whole time... like, we were supposed to be together?"

"Crack cocaine." "Ohh!" "Where did you get this from?" "Whatever." "A lady never tells." "Oh, my God." "Wait, how do we do it?" "Um..." "Ok." "So, I called the drug hot line... and asked them what signs to look for if my mom smoked crack." "They said little pieces of aluminum foil everywhere." "So... you want to try it, right?" " Yeah." " All right." "Cool." "Ready?" "You're such a crackhead." "We are such crackheads." "Ok." "Oh, shit!" "Go!" "Just inhale it!" "Just" "Aah!" "Shit!" "Shit, where'd it go?" "It splattered." "It got me right there." "Ohh... ohh." " Oh, I'm sorry." " Mmm!" "Whitney's right..." " crack is wack." " Crack is wack." "Shit." "Yeah, it is." "Oh, my God." "That was fun." "Hmm."

"Oh." "Um... both are examples of legal profiteering... from illegal activities." "You want to connect the dots?" "Economics and ethics..." "don't mix." "Um, individuals and governments... both pursue their own self-interest-- often, uh, carelessly-- and... no one's really willing to take responsibility for anything." "Good." "Em?"

"Ohh, si, la chiquita, la putita, ?" "huh?" "Yeah, yeah, the one who got drunk... and played us like a fuckin' punk, huh?" "No, no, no." "Ok, she wasn't playing." "All right?" "That wasn't a game to her." "Bullshit!" "Everything's a fuckin' game to you two!" "You know what?" "You don't know me, Ok?" "You don't know shit about me!" "Oh... that's where you're wrong, girl." "I know everything about you." "Yeah, I can see right through you." "Everything to you is a fuckin' game." "You ain't real." "That's not true." "Oh, it's true." "You ain't real." "I'm real, right?" "There ain't nothin' real about you." "Your talk ain't real, your walk ain't real... the way you dress ain't real." "You don't even copy 'em from the real thing." "You fuckin' get it from the TV." "Hector." "Momentito." "What you thought?" "You thought I was in love with you or something?" "Heh." "is that what it is?" "Huh?" "I don't know where you belong, but it ain't here, girl." "Fine."

"Detective, Allison knows nothing about it." "Her friend has been raped." "Allison was in the next room." "We just want cooperation... in identifying the man who violated her friend." "I can't believe you think that Emily was raped... and I hung out and watched." "Alli, let Robert handle this." "Detective, Alli can't be of any use to you." "She didn't see anything." "She can't identify anyone." "This is insane." "I don't know anything about a rape." "Those little bitches are gonna testify against Hector... and put his ass away, homeboy." "What do you want to do, ese?" "Go after them." "Hit 'em up, shut 'em up." "Orale." "Vamos." "Sweetheart?" "I owe you an apology." "We talked to the Rubins, and they told us what happened." " They did?" " Yeah." "Ohh, thank God." "I told Emily yesterday." "I said th-th-that I hoped that she would say" "Nobody blames you." "Emily got isolated in another room where she got attacked." "What?" "You kids had been drinking." "They realize that you didn't see anything." "They don't even need your testimony." "We made sure of that." "They're gonna press charges?" "Yes, of course, but you don't need to be involved." "But-- but they-- they didn't." "We were the ones-- l know you're relieved, honey." "I know." "Let it all out." "?" "Qué pasa, homes?"

"Right up in your fuckin' face, dawg!" "That's right!" "That's right." "That's for real, dawg." "That's real." "?" "Donde vas, vato?" "Ain't this Pacific Palisades?" "Nah." "Chale, homes." "This is Bel-Air." "Fuck!" "Turn around, turn around." "Keep it down." "Not in front of the fuckin' police." "Hey, what the fuck you want me to do?" "Well, none of it really matters." "We're just teenagers, and we're bored." "We are totally... fuckin'... bored." "I remember her." "I shot something earlier today... that I would love for you to watch, if you would." "Um..." "That's right!" "That's why you rollin' with the P.L.C.!" "Ain't no 16th Street punks gonna be corrupting my goddess!" "Yo, I would die for that girl!" "And I will kill for her." "That's my word!"

"Chale, we're lost." "Homes, you got lost." "Well, we can help you out with that." "I don't ever want to see you in this neighborhood again." " Orale." " All right." "I just don't want to see anybody right now." "So we go to Sun Valley for a couple of weeks... and we don't worry about it." " Deal?" " Ok." "Em?" "Oh..." "Alli... you've always been a friend in our house..." "Mom." "It' not that we don't love you... but I think we all need a little break." "You didn't tell them about the dice?" "Alli, don't." "Emily..." "Toby, Nick, and Sam are going downtown right now... for revenge, to defend your honor." "We asked-- l asked if we could-- if we could be in those guys from East L.A.'s crew." " lf we could" " Shut up." "No, no, no." "What-- You did what?" "The way to do that was by rolling dice." "Then you, um... you sleep with whatever number comes up." "Oh, no." "Do what?" "Dad..." "It' their initiation thing." "We asked for it." "We asked if we could join... and then we went into the other room with them... on our own." "It was our decision." "I hate you!" "I can never be your friend again!" "Em?" "Come on." "Em?" "Em?" "Why don't you just fuck off?" "Come on." "Don't be like that." "Why not, Alli?" "What, do you want to spend the night again?" "Do you want to go on vacation... with me and my parents?" "is that what it is?" "I'm sorry." "The one fucking time I really, really needed you... and you didn't have my back." "What" "No." "Em, come on." "It' not like that." "No, that's exactly what it's like." "Get the fuck on the ground!" "Get on the fucking ground!" "Aah!" "Get the fuck on the ground!" "Where is everybody?" "!" "Sammy, check the other rooms!" "Shut the fuck up!" "Where the fuck is everybody?" "!" "Shut the fuck up!" "What's she saying?" "I swear to fucking God!"

"Well, you could try taking sleeping pills... but you don't have enough to kill yourself... so you're just gonna be in the hospital... in about an hour, getting your stomach pumped." "Ohh, I can run home and get you this nylon slip noose I made." "When you strangle yourself, your jugular pops out... and you can slice it with a sharp knife." "That's great." "Ok, that sucks." "I'm sure your mom's got an extra suicide kit stashed somewhere." "Um... yeah, I think she, uh..." "Heh." "I think she keeps it in a fucking... pot." "Heh." "Hey." "Let me in?" "I'm Ok."
