"If there was someone in there right now, we wouldn't even see 'em." "This is probably where Osman Steele was killed." " The deputy?" " Yeah." "They would have had a clear shot at the sheriff and his men." "They were like sitting ducks." "The sheriff didn't know... that all these men were waiting here for them." "I mean, all over." "All through here." "Way over there." "Down there." "The farmers blew tin horns across the mountains... to alert each other... when the sheriff and the rent collectors were coming." "They were disguised as..." "Calico Indians, wearing leather hoods... and, uh," "Native American Indian costumes." "I wanna show you a picture." "10,000 armed farmers... running around these hills in dresses." " Cool, huh?" " Yeah." "If you were going to Ridgefield Middle School, you'd be two years ahead in english and history." "They don't even cover the Anti-Rent Wars, and they happened right here." "We have to do a big tick check when we get home." "Okay?" "Mm-hmm." "This is insane." "God." "I wonder if they went far back..." "I drew a map." "I gotta find out if they were as far back..." "♪ Cannot hear what you're saying ♪" "What do you think about getting Randall a gift certificate from the bookstore for his birthday?"

"Honey, if Mrs. Lockwood's health department vehicle comes here when I'm not home, just go out to the front step, tell her to come back when I'm here." "Okay?" "What will she want?" "What will she want?" "She wants us to need her." "What for?" "'Cause if they think you need 'em, then they think they can tell you what to do." "So the best thing is to not need them." "Self-sufficient." "Self-sufficient." "Someone's been paying attention." "Then he goes and tries to tag them, and if a person comes close enough to the Bloody Wolf... without seeing him, then, um, the Bloody Wolf goes after them, and... they... he... the person screams "Bloody Wolf!"" "And they all run into the base." "But if somebody sees the Bloody Wolf hiding... but he doesn't come out yet, then they scream "Bloody Wolf!" also, but they all run back to the base and the last person wins." "Wow." "Sounds..." "Sounds like fun." "Wish that game was around when I was younger." "You're a good wrapper." "Thanks." "You have your card?" "Um, yeah." "It's, like, right here." "Keep your eyes closed." "Mm-hmm."

"What were you doing up there?" "What were you?" "Hey, they got a fried egg sandwich, Mountain Dew for a buck 49." "That do it for you, or you want something else?" "That's what I usually have." "That's what you usually have, huh?" "Listen." "I know that you're the kid from Ridgefield on all the flyers, so let's not start out here with a line of bullshit, okay?" "Put that in the glove compartment, will ya?" "Hey, man, you... you heard of any 40s anywhere?" "They need a night security guard at, uh, Best Gravel, but it's one night a week and below minimum." "Nah, man." "I got three days at Quail Ridge." "Anything less than that's not worth it." "So I tell him, like, I want to start this Web site, you know." "I want to sell my wraps on it." "And he, like, looks at me, and he says, "Hippie jewelry?"" "Like, and then he laughs, like it's lame or something." "Meanwhile, you know, he's a state trooper, college degree, and the bank's foreclosing on his house, and the state's cutting his benefits." "So, you know, who's the lame one?" "Why are they called wraps?" "Uh, because I... wrap silver wire around the, uh, stones." " You made that?" " Yeah, man." "Look." "I got a whole case of 'em in the back." "And I buy the gems, then I make the necklaces, and I sell 'em." "Okay." "All right, man." "Uh, I gotta get to work." "So..." "Where am I leaving you?" "What do you want to do?" "You can just leave me at the bus station." "The bus station?" "Where is there a bus station, man?" "What are you, Jack Kerouac?" "Shit, dude." "I gotta get to work, man." "Shit." "Shit." "Okay, man." "You just, uh..." "You can stay here till lunch, okay?" "And maybe I'll figure out then what I'm gonna do with you." "Shit, dude." "That's my boss." "Just stay here and shut up." "Yo!" "What's up, Bobby?" "We had an agreement on one more lateness." "Yeah." "I know, man." "I'm sorry, but my car was making this, like, weird noise." "Like..." "Carter." "Even when I'm cutting you breaks, you..." "you're just not getting it." "You can't park there." "In full view of the entrance?" "You know that." "What, the members of the Quail Ridge Country Club... are gonna pull out and see a stoner sitting in a car?" "What?" "That's my cousin, Bobby." "Geez." "What..." "What are you even..." "Three people complained yesterday you took your shirt off." "Wha..." "Yesterday?" "It was brutal outside." "The asphalt was, like, boiling, man." "Where do you think you are?" "I mean, look around." "Where do you think you are?" "I'm sorry, man." "I..." "I'm gonna need your stuff." "I'm sorry." "I..." "I forgive the latenesses." "Then there's the complaints." "Now this." " Whoa." " I'm sorry, man." "I'm gonna need your..." "Bobby, come on, man." "I did, like, 15 smoke bushes yesterday." "It was 95 degrees." " That's it?" " I'm sorry, man." "Hey." "Don't be a wiseass with me." "Let's go, man." "A Mexican, a prisoner..." "they'd kill for this job." "Give me the keys." "Where are we going?" "Shit!" "This guy is pulling some shit with my paycheck." "Man, I am running on empty, and I have got to hit that festival... and sell those wraps tomorrow." "The guy's gonna buy the whole case for a grand." "Shit!" "Wait here." "Carter, come on." "What are you talking about, man?" "I need money." "Carter, please." "Stop." " Carter, please!" " Dude!" "What is your damage, man?" "What else am I gonna sell, huh?" "I can't survive without my iPhone, and I fucking live in my car." "The guy's probably gonna give me a hundred bucks for this." "Wait." "You're selling your gun?" "Yeah!" "Yeah, I am." "Because I have no money, and now I'm unemployed." "You could sell this for more." " Where's that from?" " Nowhere." "Nowhere?" "Your nowhere or somebody else's nowhere?" "So where'd you learn to do this?" "Um, this, uh, Native American guy that I used to go hunt with." "I mean, he had this, like, whole trad way of doing it." "Mine's..." "It's, you know, a lot more free-form." "One, two, three, four..." "Yeah, man." "One more to go." "We'll bang that out tonight, no prob." "The guy sells them for a hundred each?" "Jackson?" "No, man." "He buys them for a hundred." "He probably sells them for, like, 150." "So you make a thousand for this case." "Yeah, minus materials." "Yeah, man." "No, dude." "You do that one tighter." "Yeah." "Right there." "There you go." "That's so cool." "So you have no boss?" "Yeah, man." "No, I got no, uh, anything." "I've got no..." "job security, no insurance, no sick days." "I'm like a real small business owner." "Hey." "When we sell this case, we'll get your necklace out of hock, okay?" "Okay." "Okay." "Uh, I'm gonna go check on something." " You stay here." " What?" "Nah, dude." "Just-Just stay here, man." " I don't want to stay here." " Look." "I just gotta go check on something really quick." "I'm gonna be right back." "You're coming ba..." "You have to take the car?" "Yeah, dude." "I've gotta take the car." "Look, man." "Here." "Dude." "Keep the money from the necklace if you don't trust me." "No, I trust you." "I don't want the money." "But you're coming back?" " Yes, I am coming back." " When?" "Look." "I just need to water my plants." "What plants?" "My pot plants." "That's what I was doing on the preserve, okay?" "Let's go." "Where is this place?" "It's just up here." "No, man." "There hasn't been any workers here for five months." "All right, man." "I finished it." "Here." "Whoa, man." "That's tight." "You're a natural." "I made it for you." "No, man." "You keep that." "This is my first one." "I still wear it." "Well, I want you to have it for teaching me how to make it." "If I get good at it, then I don't need to have a job, and I could be free like you." "Well, you're pretty much free like me now." "How does it feel?" "We'll finish that other one tomorrow, when we eat." "It's, like, following these birds, right?" "These crows." "And it shows how that they can navigate while flying by following the roads." "Like..." "Like they can read the roads." "You know?" "Yeah." "It's nuts, man." "Hey, do we want, um, uh, 24 West or North?" "Do you wear glasses?" "No." "Hey." "Huh?" "Here." "The sale's a buck, 50 a bag, so try that on for size." "God, man." "I hate the smell of these places." "It's like you can't even compare it to anything." " You like sci-fi?" " What?" " Science fiction." " I don't know." "Well, let's see if this place has Dune." "These places always have Dune." "And so the whole planet is desert so that, like, water is as valuable as gold," "It's like it's gonna be here in the next 50 years... when we go to war with Costa Rica and Canada, 'cause they got all the fresh water, and ours is all polluted." " These don't work." " Those don't work?" "Here." " Why don't you try these?" " Have a good day." "Hey." "How's it going, bud?" " Oh, pretty well." "How are you doing?" " Not too bad." "Can't complai..." "Uh, hey." "Steve." "Steve." "Come here, man." "Why don't you go, uh, hang out in the car, and then, uh," "I'll come... come meet you." "Okay." "Ah, this guy too." "And, oh, he got some glasses as well." "If we really want to keep you escondido, man, we gotta give you an alias." "How about we call you, like, Jem?" "It'd be like our little inside joke." "Oh, yeah, man!" "It's Extreme Makeover." "We got a little to take off the top, but we're looking pretty good." "Jah Dan Blackmore." "Blackmore?" "Let's go!" "If you're a vendor, stay to the right." "Let's move!" "Oh, that's my boy." "Hey." "Raffle Ticket Rafferty!" "What's up, brother?" "How's it going, man?" "Good, man." "You gonna be down, uh... down in there?" "I'll be in the shakedown." " Come say hello." " I'll be down there, man." " All right." "Cool." " See you there." "Yeah." "Hey." "What's up?" " Line Configuration." "Stage 7." "Check it out." " All right, man." " No open containers." " What's a shakedown?" " Huh?" " What's a shakedown?" "Shakedown?" "You'll see." "Oh, there he is." "That's our man." " Yo!" " Hey, man." "Just don't say anything, you know." "Hmm." "Hmm." "Huh." "Yo, Jackson, you said a grand for the case on the phone." "You're gonna make at least 1,400 off these." "There's a recession on, Cartier." "You know that, man." "I'll be lucky if I get 80 for some of these." "A girl offered us a buck, 35 for that this morning." "Well, maybe you should go find her." "Look." "The global economic situation is not gonna change because some teenager offered you $120 in Upstate New York, whatever." " Buck, 35." " Jem." "Look." "I'll give you 700 cash in hand right now." "Otherwise, you're free to sit around the shakedown all day and sell 'em piecemeal, see, you know, what you get." "You know what?" "I've merched from a case on my own before, and I can do it again." "I'm sure you have." "But why let pride get in the way of your business sense?" " What's the point?" " It's not pride, man." "These wraps are as good as the last ones, and you're telling me that they're not, like I don't know the difference." "I can offer you 750, man, but that's it." "Handmade by yours truly." "That's definitely a one-of-a-kind, handmade, um..." "Special like this." "It's on its way right to you." "You know, in this kind of light," " you look like Angelina Jolie." " Oh, thanks." " Told you you'd look good in it." " Well, thank you, sir." " You guys have a good day." " You too." "Enjoy the fest." "Fun in the sun." "Did you see E-Rock, man?" "Dude!" "He was at the thump tent with Digital Angel." "He's tripping balls, man." "He's just, like..." "He told me he felt like a triangle." "Look." "I brought some of these with me for tonight." "Shit." "Man." " Yeah, I partake." " Yeah." "Yeah." "But limited supply." "We need to take care of it soon." "Yeah." "Um, all right." "Just give me one second." "So, uh, we are down to one wrap." "And we're up 300 over what Jackson was gonna give us." " Awesome." " Yeah, so, uh, I was thinking... that, uh, maybe you should be in charge of selling the last one." "You want me to do it?" " Sure." " Cool." "Uh..." "So look." "I'm just gonna go with these guys down this path." "Wait." "Can I come?" "Uh..." "It's just..." "It's right over there." "It's not far, man." "Shall we?" "After you." "Yeah, that way." "Don't worry, man." "Yeah?" "You back?" "You back?" "Ah!" "Go get it." "Right there." "Right there." "Ah!" "Did somebody just leave that dog here?" "I guess so." "God, what is wrong with people?" "I'm kind of hungry." "You are?" "When did you last eat?" " When you did." " What?" "When you did." "You mean the... the breakfast tacos from the truck yesterday?" "Why didn't you say anything, man?" "Hey." "You know, it's just, like..." "You know, I mean, it's like a lot of just... anger and... just plain mean... assholic behavior because... because people... they just can't deal with the stress in their lives, you know." "What makes stress?" "I wish I friggin' knew." "What do you think?" "Most people are just trying to be happy." "That's what my mom says." "Used to say." "You sure you don't have any, like, daywork or anything?" "You got any 40s?" "Man, I'll start with, like, anything, like one day a week." "Yeah." "Well, just like..." "Just keep me in mind, okay?" "All right." "Thank you." "Fuck." "Why can't I just leave it in the mailbox?" "Look, man." "We've been here an hour." "There's nobody home." "So just go in there and put the necklace underneath the bed... or behind the drawer that you stole it out of." "You're not gonna leave, right?" "'Cause you owe me." "I owe you?" "What do I owe you?" "Huh?" "I got your necklace out of hock." "You got your commission in your pocket from the wraps." "So, what else do you want?" "Workman's comp or something?" "And hey." "Hey." "Don't run." "Just walk normal." "It'll be over before you know it." "Where were you?" "Man, this... this nosy lady pulled up, and she was checking me out." "I just didn't want her to get my plates."
