"Have you seen this kid anywhere?" "Mm-mmm." "No?" "Can you look out for her, please?" "Have you guys seen a little girl?" "I ain't seen shit, man." "I wish they'd stop making pennies." "I hate pennies." "I hate 'em!" "Hey!" "I keep losing things." "Hey." "Don't wanna be a loser." "I wanna be a finder." "Finder finds things." "Loser loses them." "I need to find a kid." "Little girl." "Yeah." "She's about this tall." "Yeah." "You've seen her?" "Yeah." "Where?" "You wanna play with my puzzle?" "You wanna play?" "No, I'm not gonna play with your puzzle." "Thank you." "I'll call you later." "Yeah, baby!" "It's happening!" "Take a good look there." "That's the economy of comfort sitting right in front of you." "Right beautiful." "See, you can catch more flies with honey." "But who wants flies?" "Remind me your name again, sweetheart?" "It's Arlen." "Let me ask you a question, Arlen." "When you shit here in comfort, your shit goes away." " That accurate?" " I guess." "You shit." "It leaves." "You know why it leaves?" "Um..." "Because, uh, the toilet takes it someplace?" "Yes, it does." "Takes it where it takes it..." "Because of me." "'Cause I hate the idea that my sons and daughters would have to stew in their own shit." "Cows stand in their shit." "They stand in their shit..." "'Cause they're cows." "Pigs stand in their shit..." "'Cause they're pigs." "Some misbehaving humans been making hamburgers out of my sons and daughters." "But we are not cows." "We don't stand in our shit." "The reason we don't..." "Is because I won't let that happen." "I got each and every toilet in comfort taking that shit from all your little asses and sending it down the pipes till it reaches a place where no one thinks about it and no one smells it." "Ain't that nice of me?" "But you don't like it here, do you?" "No, I just... costs a lot to be here." "Cost you an arm and a leg." "Where would you rather be?" "It's all right." "You know what I see when I look at you?" "A sailboat out in the sea..." "With no wind." "What is it you want, Arlen?" "If you could have one thing, anything, what would it be?" "Anything?" "Anything at all." "A time machine." "Why?" "So I could go back." "Fix things." "Make it better." "All the things you've done have put you right here, on this couch, in this room," "with me." "Close your eyes." "Close them." "What do you really want?" "I wanna be the solution for something." "You know what this is?" "It's a tomato." "First, it was a seed." "You take care of a garden, and it takes care of you back." "You feed it, it feeds you." "Few things in this world operate like that, fair and square." "It just needs a place to grow." "It grows and grows." "Then it comes out and it's part of the world." "Because you know what the dream really is?" "It's life." "Life is the dream." "The only dream." "I want the dream." "What dream is that?" "This one here." "Like they have." "Make up a room for our guest." "Is everything okay?" "Hey." "I'm sorry." "I guess I'm just a bit nervous." "That's okay." "Can you come in for a second?" "Yeah, of course." "Is this really necessary?" "Come here, kid." "We're going." "Bring her down!" "You wanna see it all over your fucking walls?" "Come here." "Promise me something." "You take care of this rabbit." "Come on." "Yeah." "When we're out and clear of the wall, I'll let her go." "Come here." "Let's go, kid." "I'm real disappointed in you, Arlen." "Real disappointed." "Once we're out, I'll let her go." "I swear." " Yo, check this shit out right here." " Open it, nacho." " Open the gate, homes." "Open it!" "Come on." "Bye, Güerita." "Don't come back, you crazy bitch." "Miel." "You good." "Okay?" "Hey." "Wait." "What are you doing right now?" "Do you want to hang out or something?" "You are very confused, no?" "Not really." "What you think I am, Gringa?" "What if all these things that happened to us happened to us so the next things that gonna happen to us can happen to us?" "You brought back my kid." "You done now." "You can go." "Go back to comfort." "I'm not going back there." "In this place is only death for you." "Is like that." "Well, I like it here." "What do you like?" "Where is here?" "Look around." "Is nothing." "I want spaghetti because the other man gave me spaghetti." "I want spaghetti." "I'm hungry." "I want spaghetti!" "I want spaghetti!"
