"Aw, shit." "Fuck it." "Hey, Yracy, here's your Cokes." "I didn't pay for them anyway." " Didn't have to with your fine ass." " Fuck you!" "Have you seen Evie?" "Nah, she went to the candy store." "Want some?" " Easy!" " What the fuck is that?" " Voodoo juice my friends made." "Don't be backwashing." "Wanna go find her?" "Yeah." "You all right?" "Yracy." "Let's go." "Come on." "Evie?" "Evie!" "Evie?" "Hey." "Want to suck my cock, baby?" "No!" "Evie!" "Evie!" " Damn!" " How are you?" "Javi spilled a Coke all over his pants and he couldn't perform..." "What the fuck is wrong with you?" "Do you even know what time it is?" "Shit!" "Hey." "Call me, baby." "Geez, Mom, I can't help it if the movie ran late." "Bullshit, Yracy!" "We checked the theater." "We got something to drink at Starbucks." "What's wrong with that?" " Where's the backpack?" " Oh, shit." "I got you a key chain." "Hey." "How was the movie?" " All right." " Mom, I gotta talk to you." " In private." " Okay." " Come in the kitchen." "I'm making tea." " I'll help you." "Should we talk about... how you get stoned every night with Rafa?" "She knows I smoke pot, Tracy." "Look at your pupils." "You're so fuckin' busted." " Fucking little..." " Ow!" " Jesus Christ, Yracy!" " Don't you ever touch me again!" "Go ahead, hit me, Yracy." "You'll go to jail, you fucking slut!" "Don't you fucking call me a slut." "Mom, Mason just called me a slut!" " Melanie!" " Stop!" "Stop it!" "Wait, wait, wait!" "Stop!" "Stop!" " Yracy, look at this shit!" " Birdie, she didn't mean it." "Mom, don't touch me!" "Don't touch my hair!" " She's out of control." " Have you had anything to eat today?" " Mom, stop with the food thing!" " Fuck it." "You don't want me to cook for you anymore?" "Fine!" " Yhen don't eat my food." " Fine!" " I hate your nasty store-brand food.!" " Great!" "Yhen I can stop doing 1 2 haircuts a day trying to pay for all this shit!" "You think I want to be here?" "Fuck." "Damn it." "Goddamn... 1.50-a-square-foot floor!" "Mel." "Mel." "I told you we needed a new floor." "Baby?" "Mel." " You all right?" " Yeah." "I'm okay." "I'm okay." " You're okay." " I'm okay." "I need to call Sue." "Mom.!" "Uh, don't worry about that, all right?" "I'll take care of it." "Mom.!" "What the..." "Damn it, Yracy." "What is it?" "I can't even sleep in my own bed?" "Yracy, we can all sleep in here if we could just get this dog out." " Wake up, girl." "Come on." "It's..." "Oh, Jesus." " Something peed in your bed." " We'll change the sheets." " Here, Mason, take her." " Mom, you're dealing with this!" "I'll take care of it." "You know what, Yracy?" "You're gonna have to lay off of her." "Don't you tell me what to do, you fucking cokehead." "You're such a loser." " I'm so sorry." "I'm so sorry." "Arms up." "I can't do this with her anymore." "I can't." "I can't." "I'm horrible." " Get in the shower, Mel." "Yhis place is fucking with my head." "Yeah, I want..." "I want to get loaded." "Go see Mario." "He'll read the big book in that scratchy voice." "Okay." "I know what to do." " Evie, I have to ask you something." " What?" "What happened in the dressing room with you and Javi?" "Nothing, pendeja." "He's your guy." " Uh-oh." "So what's with the spoons?" " Just go like this." " It's really cold." " You're gonna call Evie's mom." " Right." "I'm just gonna talk to her for a few minutes." "I mean, she's just a kid, after all." " Mason, come here a second." "Brooke does this every morning, and she still has huge bags." "I wonder how much of this you have to swallow for it to kill you." "Yhis family needs some healing." " Who bought you that wet suit?" " Fuck you." " Your mother's phone's disconnected." " Mel, she's not my mom." "She's my cousin." "My mom was a crack whore." "Okay." "Everybody just take a deep breath." "Evie, honey, do you have a friend that you could stay with for a few days?" "I think this family needs some alone time." "I'm the one that's here every day trying to make the situation better." "Ask Mel." "Look, Mom, there's a huge swell." "I" " I gotta get pounding;" " Yhat's okay, baby." "Just go." " Phone!" " Wait, wait, wait." " Hold on, hold on." " Hello?" "Conrad." " Hey, Spidey!" "Evie, honey, let's talk about you for just a minute, okay?" " I need to make sure..." " Are you a board-licensed therapist?" "Okay, you bring the stuff, and I'll give you a surprise." " She's done a lot of great things." " She's a psychic." "Cynthia, do you remember when you tried to bring back Grandma... and Hampton ended up humping your leg?" " Cynthia, I can handle this." " You know, I should, um..." "I should be getting back to work." "I could be selling houses." "1 0:30 at Nona's." "Cynthia can handle it, Mom." "Ooh!" "Want me to model my new thong?" "It's perfect for pooping on the go." " What's that under your shirt?" " None of your business." " What is that?" " Don't worry about it." " Let me see that." " No!" "What is it with you and poking me?" " I just want to see what you got there." " Mom, stop!" "What the hell is that?" " I'm talking to you." " It's a belly button ring." "Speak up." "I can't hear you." "It's a belly button ring!" "How else can I say it?" "I don't speak no other languages!" "Oh." "And do you want to know what that is?" "Yhat is a tongue ring." " When did you do all this, baby?" " Oh, Mom!" "Ywo thousand years ago!" "I'm a mummy!" "I was born 2,000 years ago!" "Whoo!" "Yracy, Yracy, Yracy." "I'm really starting to lose it." "Stop it, please." "No bra, no panties." "No bra, no panties." " Stop it." " No bra, no panties." " You have to take her for a while." " No, I can't." " I need you to take her for a while." " I can't." "I've been on the phone trying to get out of this thing." "I can't." " I need you to take her for a while." " Are you hearing me here?" "I can't." "I will talk to her." "It'll be just fine." "All right?" "Where is she?" "Is she in the back?" "Hey." "How are you doin'?" "Listen, we, uh..." "we gotta talk about something." "Um, I gotta tell you right up front that I can't, uh, take you this weekend." "I knew that you wouldn't take me." "Yracy, uh..." "look, baby... you... you have got to cut me some slack, okay?" "I am trying to kick ass at this newjob." "I am trying to get you and your mom more money." "That's all I'm..." " Let me, um, just shut this thing off." "Uh... what's the problem?" "What's going on?" "Can I help?" "Yracy." "You gotta talk to me." "Dad, do you even remember what the last thing we did together was?" " Dad, just answer the fucking thing!" "Look, this could be an emergency." "Let me take this." "Yeah?" "No, I can't." "I'm with..." "I'm with a client right now." "Look, Chris, I will call you from the airport, okay?" " Fine." "Nice talking to you, Dad." "Baby, I'm not going anywhere, okay?" "You know, fuck this work shit, okay?" "I'm calling him back right now and telling him I'm not going to Houston." "Dad, just go, okay?" "Really." "You need this job." "Yeah, baby, I do need this job." "Nice car." "Yeah, it's just a silly business tool." "We're going surfing in two weeks, right?" "San O's?" "Okay." "She needs help, Dad." "Okay." "Okay." "What is the problem?" "Can somebody please just tell me, what is the problem?" "In a nutshell." "Wha..." "Mason, wait..." "Hey." "Nice car." " Good morning, Mom!" " Whoa, hey." " Hi." " Knocking's real good." "Uh, Mom, we have something really important... that we need to talk to you about, okay?" "Okay." "Um..." "I think that I would get along a lot better... with everybody... if Evie just lived with us." "Brooke will pay you to take me." "She won't be like all the other freeloaders." "She was abused... by her uncle when she was nine." "Mel." "He put things inside me... and he pushed me into a fire." "Okay." "Mel, you could really help me if I lived here." "You could maybe even save me." "Okay, I'll think about it." "You're so cool." "Bye, Mel." "Why did you put me on the spot in front of that poor little girl?" "I can't reject someone like that to her face." " I know, Mom." " Come on, Tracy." "Good-bye." "I love you." "Bye." "Yea!" "I got an "A."" "I got a "C-plus." Movin' up." "What'd you get?" "Let's just say my mother isn't gonna get a bumper sticker this year." "Ah, I want to bleed more!" "Hit me!" "Make an effort, bitch!" "Yracy?" "Yracy?" " Food's ready, ladies." " Just a minute!" "Yracy." "Get up, okay?" "You can't go out like this." "Oh, shit." "Here." " Her uncle got seven years." " I mean, look at you." "You're stretched to the limit." "Shit, you're stretched beyond the limit." "Kayla and I are sleeping in a tent." "She's been abused by everyone who's supposed to take care of her." " I have to help her." " No, Mom, come on." "You don't know that." "I mean, Jesus." "How do we look, darling?" "Guys, say hello to the butt." " I wanna play!" "I wanna play!" " Okay." " What happened to your lip?" " Nothing, Mom." "I just bit it." "Is that my belt, Evie?" "Yeah." "Mason, do you have any film?" " You want to take pictures of us?" " No, Evie, I don't." "Okay, kids." "Yhis is the day." "You guys did a great job." "Yhese all look really..." "What?" "Oh, my God." "Wait." "Today is the due date?" "You guys could have called to remind me that today was the due date." " We left you messages." " Not to mention a note on your locker." "Oh, our phone's been disconnected just because we've been having... family problems." "My grandmother, she passed away." "Go to the counselor, Yracy." "She'll talk to your mom." "Now." " Knock it off, you guys." "Fuck!" "So, um... you just wanna go to the boardwalk and sell some shit?" "I can't." "Um, I'm late for my biology actually... and we're doing a play... and..." "I'm a mermaid." "I can't even remember how to spell "photographer."" " Where are we going, Mel?" "Brooke." "Wow." " I've been calling for two weeks." " All right, sweetie." "Sorry." "Sorry." "Sorry." "I just... didn't want you to see me like this." "Mel, my ear..." "What?" "Yhey cut off my ears." "Okay, girls." "Please go out to the car, okay?" "Please." "Please, go out to the car." "I had that little kind of turkey neck thing, you know?" "I mean, all of a sudden I had a kid to support." "I mean, fuck." " Y-You had plastic surgery?" " Mmm." " Why?" "You were so pretty." " Evie knows what I'm talking about." "You know that little kind of flap thing that was in the pictures?" "Oh, my ears hurt so bad." "Look." " Is this, like, a standard procedure?" " Yeah, I guess." "I mean, you know, they had to tuck the skin somewhere, I guess." "It's just..." "I didn't realize they'd have to do the whole, you know... fuckin' crop circle." "So everything's okay, then?" "Yeah." "Oh, sorry." " It's okay." " Excuse me." "Oh, God, I'm a mess." "Oh, dear." " Can I get you a beer?" " No, that's okay." "We're gonna split." "So, Evie... we'll bring your suitcase over later, okay?" " So you're not gonna adopt me, Mel?" "Evie, I mean..." "Brooke's back, so..." "Hi." "Hey, Trace." "Hey, girlies." "Astrid, Medina." " Hey, baby.!" "Ladies!" "Let's go, ladies!" "Whoo!" " Whoo.!" "Evie." "Evie, that was hilarious." "Now come pick me up." "It's Yracy." "Ev..." "Can you hear me?" "Mason, would you hurry it up?" " Just a minute.!" " God, are you jacking off in there?" " Fuck off." " Yracy, I'm with a client." "Work mode." "Mom, I told you that I was having a bad day." "I can't fucking wait till you move to Dad's." "What the hell did you say?" "Nothing." "It's just something I heard Mom and Dad talking about, okay?" "Forget it." "Hang on a minute!" " Hey, Tracy." " Okay." "Hang on!" " You's nasty." " Yvette." " I heard that you got used." " What?" "By who?" "By Conrad, on the stairs at Nona's party." "Shit never happened, but believe whatever the fuck you want." "Yhat's not what Evie said." "You fucking lying?" " You better not ever touch me again." " Hey.!" " Stop.!" " This shit ain't over." "Stop it!" "Hey, come back here!" "You've made "F's" on your last three tests... and you haven't turned in any homework." "On that basis alone, you're gonna fail." "You'll be held back in seventh grade." "What?" " Yhey can hold me back?" " Yes, they can hold you back." "Yracy, your name was brought up in impact group today." " Evie Zamora turned in your fake I. D... and then there's the matter of cheating in your math class." "You were one of my best students." "Your poem at the beginning of the year was incredible." "I'm sorry." "Hey, Tracy." "Your mom sent me to pick you up." "What's going on?" "I'm supposed to be studying at Yumi's house." "I don't think so." "Come on." "Hop in." "You'll be okay." "Hey, Evie." "Brooke." "You healed up great." "Sit down." " I have to go to the bathroom." " Leave your purse." "Fine." " Yracy." " What the hell?" "Yhey found my stash, and I had to tell them." "I love you, okay?" "You're my girl." "Remember that." "I love you." "Come on." "Let's go." " Yracy." " What?" "None of that shit's mine." "We found it." "What?" "Speak up, Mama, 'cause I can't hear you!" "Do not talk to your mother like that." "She said, we found it stashed around your bedroom... all your little hiding spots." "Jesus, Evie." " I had to." "You don't get it." " Oh, no, I get it." "Who the fuck do you think you are, going in my room?" "You're lucky I got there before the cops did, honey." "Hey, I'm just trying to help you, sweetie." "How do you explain $860 in your purse?" "What do you expect me to say, Mom?" "We jacked it, okay?" "It's not like your broke ass ever has any money to give me." "Mom, when Brady went to the halfway house... what happened to our phone, our cable?" "You didn't even know how to pay the bills." "It's no wonder Dad didn't want to be with you!" "You didn't even finish high school!" "We don't have extra stuff, but we're doing okay." "You know we're doing okay." "You don't have to steal." "Mom, you knew what was going on!" "You're not that dumb, are you?" "I didn't know it went that far!" "Oh, God!" "We'll be moving up to Ojai, so you won't be seeing Evie again." "Ever." "You're really cruel, Yracy." "I mean, I'm sure you can be a sweet kid when you want to... but right now you're a really bad influence." "I mean, you cheat, you lie, you steal." "Oh, my God!" "Are you kidding me?" "Where do you think I learned all this shit from?" "Yracy was playing Barbies before she met Evie." "Did she teach you how to beat the crap out of her as well?" " I've seen the bruises." " What the hell did you tell her, Evie?" "Come here." "What about this?" " What the fuck?" "We were just goofing." " Yracy didn't hit her." " Yes, she did!" " I don't believe this!" "She hit me too!" " And look at this, Mel." " Don't you dare!" "No!" "Please!" " Get your hands off her." " See?" "She cuts." "It's none of your business, you fucking Frankenstein.!" "Oh, no, this child is my business, you little cunt." "That's enough." "You need to get out." " Honey, come on." " Get out.!" "Who would want to be in this shit hole anyway?" "It fucking stinks in here, Mel!" "Oh, no, Mom!" "Get off of me." "I hate you!" " Stop!" "I love you and your brother more than anything in the world... and I'll die for you, but I won't leave you alone right now." "Mason said you wanted me to move in with Dad!" "You don't want me!" "You don't want me!" "I want your dad to be in your life more." "I want you here with me." "You're my heart." "I'll make it right." "It can never be right." "Get off me." "No." "Get off." "Mom, please!" "Don't hold me!" "Don't!" "Stop!" "Mom, don't!" "Don't!" "Please." "No." "No." "No." "God." "Stop." "Stop." "Mom." "Mom." "Don't." "Oh, God."
