Hello?
Not a word.
[BELT CLICKING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[MOANING]
[SIGHING]
Come on.
You're no good to me
if you can't get hard.
Just
slow down a bit, okay?
[GRUNTING]
Yeah.
[MAN MOANING]
[MOANING LOUDLY]
MAN: Put it in!
Come on!
[MOANING]
[GRUNTING]
Fuck!

Oh God!
Ow...

Jesus!
What the fuck?
- [SLAPPING]

Fuck hell! Jesus fucking...
[LAURA SCREAMING]
- Ow! Fuck!
- Fuck!
MAN: What the hell's
wrong with you, you crazy bitch!
What the fuck?
Jesus!
You're soft again.
Where's my fucking jacket?
[PANTING, SIGHING]
[WHISPERING] Fuck!
Fucking faggot!
What did you say?
Better watch your fucking mouth!

[ENGINE STARTING]
[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING

NANCY: So, it's mainly our
two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Uh, this one,
which is a disaster.
The other one is an
en suite in my room.
Um, this is the spare room.
Not much to clean in here.
And this.
And this is my daughter's.
[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Pianos, have you
ever cleaned them?
- Yes.
- Eva.
Could you stop for a second,
please? I'll go get it.
Hello.
Hi!
You play really well.
Beautifully, actually.
Thank you.
I'm Laura.
Eva.
Here it is.
[HUMMING]
LAURA: Uh, I'm all done.
Okay!
Is your room all right?
Everything how you like it?
Yeah! Yeah, it's,
uh, nice and clean.
- Thanks.
- No problem!
[CLEARING THROAT]
Bye. I'll see you soon.
Okay, bye.
I really like your poster,
by the way.
Oh! Thanks!
It's funny, I wouldn't have
thought that you were
a Nirvana fan,
with all the classical music
you were playing before.
The classical playing is just
a thing I have to do right now.
Oh, okay.
God, could you imagine
seeing them live?
[CHUCKLES]
It would be really intense!
It'd be crazy.
I have goosebumps
just thinking about it.
Bye!
[FOOTSTEPS RETREATING]
[SIGHING]
Anyone else
would be fired for this.
I should fire you.
Or take you
out of cleaning altogether...
keep you in accounting.
You don't seem
to bother anyone in there.
Well, you don't need me
full-time in accounting.
[SIGHING]
I'm sorry.
You're always sorry.
I mean...
I just wanna know
what you were thinking.
How did you honestly think
this one was gonna end?
Happily?
Did you think about me
for a second,
about how this could
affect me and my business?
- No, I guess not.
- No, I guess not!
[SIGHING]
You know what?
I've asked you before
to leave my employees
out of whatever it is
you do out there.
Well, she'll be happy to know
that I find her repulsive now.
Honey, I wish you found
more people repulsive.
Like you?
WOMAN: Tell me, are you gonna
take a few days off?
Because I have to make sure
I do the schedule this week.
I don't know.
Maybe just in the morning...
[WOMAN TALKING INDISTINCTLY]
- WOMAN: Are you okay?
- Hmm?
- Are you okay?
- Oh, yeah, yeah!
WILLIAM: You better jump
in there before it's all gone.
Uh,
that looks burnt.
WILLIAM:
It is! That's the best part!
WOMAN: Just the middle one.
This side isn't burnt.
Don't forget you promised us...
- WOMAN: Good time!
- WILLIAM: Yeah, huh?
- I'll give you a ride next time.
- WILLIAM: Yeah!
WOMAN: We had a great night.
- WOMAN 2: Thank you so much.
- WILLIAM: Thank you!
- WOMAN: Thanks for the invite.
- WILLIAM: Of course!
- WOMAN: Take care!
- WOMAN 2: Be safe.
- WILLIAM: See you at the office.
- WOMAN: Bye, Laura!
Bye, guys.
You okay to drive?
Yeah.
- You sure?
- Yes.
Why don't I give you
a ride home?
I'll be all right.
No, I'll drive you back
in the morning,
and you could pick up your car.
I'm fine.
Why, are you, uh...
you meeting somebody now?
- I'm going home.
- Ah!
Dad, can I have a couple
of smokes for the road?
Oh, sure!
- Oh, I can give you four.
- [CHUCKLING]
Thanks.
Okay, well,
do your stops.
A lot of cops around here.
- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay.
- Good night.
- Good night.
[KEYS JINGLING]
[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING

[SIGHING]
Everyone clapped.
We both know
you've played better.
Let's go.
[DOOR OPENING]
LAURA: Hey, you!
Hi!
Happy to see you.
Me too.
No, no! Leave 'em on.
I'm almost done.
[CHUCKLES]
[INHALING]
- It's chilly today, right?
- Yeah, it's getting cold.
[COUGHING]
Don't worry. It's not
as strong as last time.
I have to practice later.
Lean back.
[CHUCKLING] Thanks!
[BOTH LAUGHING]
NANCY: Wow, this is nice!
DAVID: I know...
- did a great job.
- Mm-hmm!
NANCY: When are they gonna paint
Eva's room?
Mm, this weekend, probably.
I chose a great color for you.
- This is so exciting!
- Yeah, I know.
It's finally happening!
What are we gonna do
with the spare room?
[NANCY AND DAVID

[PIANO PLAYING SOFTLY]

[BACH'S PRELUDE
IN C MINOR PLAYING]
I don't wanna move
into that shithole with him.
What did you just say?
You heard me.
Teenage angst doesn't suit you.
Do you actually think
that he loves you?
That's enough!
- He doesn't. He's just like...
- He has a name!
Use it!
David is just like all
the other ones,
and when he dumps you,
you're gonna
regret doing any of this!
You listen to me.
When you're 18,
I will be the last one
stopping you from moving out.
In the meantime, you're 16,
stuck with me and David,
so deal with it!
You're a selfish bitch!
I have a right to be happy,
goddammit!
So do I!
[CRYING]
[KEYS JINGLING]
[EVA SOBBING]
Eva?
[WHISPERING] Oh my God!
You okay? What happened?
Nothing.
Did you and your mom
get in a fight?
I hate her!
What happened?
[SNIFFLING]
I'm moving.
The house sold.
It's really happening.
- It's so unfair!
- Shh! Come here!
I know.
- [SOBBING]
- [SIGHING]
Don't cry, sweetie.
I don't wanna move there.
I know.
[SIGHING]
You don't have to do anything
you don't wanna do.
You have don't to let your mothr
make your decisions for you
or control your life.
Well, I can... I can't just...
tell her I'm not going.
You don't
have to tell her anything.
[STUDENTS CHATTERING

LAURA: Hey!
[LAURA LAUGHING]
You made it!
- You have a lot of clothes.
- [LAUGHING]
LAURA:
Well, what's mine is yours!
Here, try that on.
Um...
yeah, I think these pants
are too small on me, but, um,
- they might work for you.
- Thanks!
Just take off those rags,
settle in!
[Giggling]
- Um, I'll make us a drink.
- Okay.
[CHUCKLING]
[LAURA SCOFFS]
[CHUCKLING] What's funny?
Uh, nothing. I just.
[CLEARING THROAT]
I find you fit in so well here,
- just...
- [CHUCKLING]
sitting there
like that in my house.
Oh!
Really?
Yeah, it's kind of crazy.
You just seem really, um,
familiar to me.
Hmm! Cool!
I like your place.
It's really cool.
Thanks!
I tried to make it nice inside,
but
I kind of hate this
neighborhood, it's so boring.
So? Do you feel
amazing right now?
Um,
yeah. I... I feel different,
I think, somehow.
But, like, in a good way, right?
Yeah! Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
You know, you really did
the right thing coming here.
Yeah.
Just happy I could help you out.
[SIGHING]
Cheers!

Shadows in the nighttime
Through my dimly-lit mind
When my heart begins
To wander
My thoughts go far

Ah, ah, ah, ah
I
Thought that
I could love her
But then I couldn't
Ah, ah, ah, ah

EVA: That was amazing!
LAURA: Oh my God!
You were going so fast!
- I know! I think I won, though.
- Yeah, I'm pretty sure you did.
It's so funny. I never would've
thought I liked go-karting.
Thank you so much
for bringing me.
It's no problem.
After you.
[BOTH CHUCKLING SOFTLY]
Sweetie, you're all knots.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
[SIGHING]
That's where you hold
all your stress.
Right there.
You feel how hard it is?
Yeah.
[SIGHING] Just relax now.
[CHUCKLING]
I don't think
sleeping on the sofa
is gonna help these knots.
You should share my bed
with me tonight.
You'll be more comfortable.
- You sure?
- Yeah, totally.
I want you to get good rest.
You deserve it.
Okay.
Just, um, come
in when you're done.
[LAUGHING]
I'm really glad you're here.
Me too.
Goodnight.

WILLIAM: Okay, well,
it used to be, um, Diane.
And then, recently,
it got handed over to Laura.
- Hi!
- MARGARET: Morning!
[CLEARING THROAT] Morning!
Get any sleep?
- Not much.
- Yeah.
WILLIAM: Hey, Margaret!
- Hi, Will!
- Hey, uh,
do you have a second
to come to my office?
- Yeah.
- Great.
How are you?
- Fine.
- Good.
[WILLIAM CLEARS THROAT]
Um, there's a detective who
wants to ask you some questions.
- What about?
- I have no idea. Do you?
No.
Uh, this is Laura.
- DETECTIVE: Hi, Laura.
- Hi!
Detective Dozier.
Pleased to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Could you give us
a minute, please?
Oh, I thought I was
supposed to be here.
No, we're gonna be okay.
- Oh, okay!
- Thanks.
[CLEARS THROAT]
So Laura,
I understand you're the cleaner
- at the Lansdowne residence?
- LAURA: Yeah, that's right.
We're investigating
the disappearance
of their daughter, Eva.
[SIGHING]
When was
the last time you saw her?
LAURA: Oh my God! Um...
four or five days ago.
Last time I cleaned.
Did you guys ever have
any conversations
about her personal life?
Did she ever mention
that she was in any
trouble, she was unhappy?
LAURA: No, uh, she really kept
to herself. We barely spoke.
You sure?
Yeah.
If anything else comes up,
feel free to give me a call.
Sure.
Any information could help us
in the investigation.
- Of course.
- All right, thank you very much.
- Thank you.
- Have a good day.
WILLIAM: All good?
- It's fine.
- Yeah, good.
DETECTIVE: Excuse me, Mr. Drake?
- Uh-huh?
- Could I get a minute
- with you now?
- WILLIAM: Of course.
Sorry.
[BREATHING FAINTLY]
Hey, Eva!
Hi!
Uh, can you come in here
for a sec?
Hey!
How was your day?
It was okay. You?
It was pretty good!
Yeah?
What did you do? Did you, uh,
go out at all,
for a walk or anything?
No. No, I just... I stayed
in here and read my book.
You didn't talk to anybody?
My neighbors in the back or...
No! No, nobody.
What's wrong?
Um...
a police officer
came to see me today,
looking for you. But it's okay.
I took care of it.
What did he say to you?
What did he want?
Don't worry.
I didn't say anything.
Yeah, but why...
Why did he go see you?
I guess because I clean
your mom's house. I don't know.
But it's fine!
So the police are looking
for me. That's serious!
It doesn't have to be.
Do you think
I should call my mom or...
And tell her what?
I... I don't know, that I'm okay
and not to worry about me.
And?
And what?
I don't know. I think she's
gonna be pretty fucking curious
about where you are
and where the hell you've been!
Yeah, but I'll just...
I won't tell her,
and I'll go home
and that'll be it,
and the police will stop
- looking for me.
- Jesus fucking Christ!
I shouldn't have said anything.
I just lied to the police
for you!
I'm on record saying that
I don't know anything about you,
and I have no idea
where you are.
And you're 16.
Do you know what that means?
No.
It means
I'll be in serious fucking shit
if anybody finds out
that you're here with me!
But I just won't tell them.
I'll make something up!
Eva you can't just make shit up
to the police, all right!
- They'd never believe you!
- How do you know?
Who listens to anything
that you have to say?
Your mother? Her boyfriend?
Fucking anyone?
No, nobody listens to what
you have to say, except me.
And that's the truth.
I lied for you.
To protect
you.
So, no, I'm sorry.
You're not fucking
calling anyone!
[] [LIFE IN PINK BY

Here you go.
You like this song?
Yeah.
I love it.
[SIGHING]
I think there's still some left
in here.
You want some?
Uh,

Here, I'm done.
You can take another.
Just finish it off.
[VOMITING]
[FAUCET RUNNING]
Here.
[SNIFFLING]
There you go.
[EVA COUGHING]
That's it. That's it.
Yeah.
I should call my mom.
Dad?
Yeah, um,
I don't think I can come in
to work today.
I feel really sick.
Yeah, I know,
but Susan can do it.
Today? I thought
that was tomorrow.
Well... [SIGHING]
Yeah, I know.
I know.
All right.
All right, fine.
Yeah, I'm coming.
[SIGHING]
[MOUSE CLICKING]
Okay...
keep going down.
No, no. here.
Scroll down.
Okay, thanks.
[SIGHING]
I can't believe these bastards
are auditing us again.

Are you feeling any better
than this morning?

- [CRYING] Please!
There's nothing to worry about.
I'm gonna explain everything,
okay?
Okay.
Just back away from the door,
okay?
Okay.
Hey, you.
Why... Why did you put me
in here?
Because you were really
out of it, and I just wanted
to make sure
we had a chance to talk.
So you locked me in a room?
Just so I could get back
and we could talk.
Talk about what? Let me out!
Okay, wait. You really need
to calm down okay.
- Everything's fine!
- I...
How do you feel?
Do you feel like you understand
what we're a part of now?
I... I don't wanna be in here!
Okay, but I really need to hear
from you that you understand.
I understand that I need
to leave, okay?
So, please, Laura!
Laura, please!
What are you doing?
You still need to be in here.
What are you talking about?
I understand
that you're confused.
I'm not confused about
- anything!
- I know it's a lot to process,
- but it's okay.
- I wanna get out!
Eva, I told you
that I would be in serious
fucking trouble with the police
if they found out you were here,
and you didn't care!
I'll go to jail if they find out
what I did to help you!
Jail, Eva!
So, you get it now,
or is that what you want?
Is that what you want?
Answer me!
Is that what you fucking want?
No!
No!
[BOTH CRYING]
You made a choice.
You made a choice to come here.
And I cannot be the only one
that has to suffer
the fucking consequences!

Um, no, I don't need the house
to be cleaned right now.
Okay.
Should I come back another time?
I don't know. Not for a while.
Tell your boss that, okay?
Not for a while.
Sure.
I, uh...
I heard about what happened...
and I'm really sorry.
Thank you.
I... I was wondering
if I could give you some, um...
missing posters of my daughter?
Our time's up with the police
and, uh, their help.
So I thought maybe
you could hand them out
to the people you work with?
Yeah, of course.
She's... She's just
a runaway to them.
They're not looking
for her anymore?
No.
That's... That's terrible.
Thank you.
[LAURA CRYING]
[SIGHING]
[WHISPERING] Hey.
Hey. Hey, you.
No more of this tension
between us.
Okay?
It's poison.
Let's just start over.
I can be...
a total wreck sometimes.
[SOBBING] And I know
that I fucked up.
And I'm so sorry.

It's just
because you're so precious...
and I can't imagine my life
without you.
We're soulmates.

Open 'em.

Surprise!
No way! Thank you!
You like it?

Some boys kiss me
Some boys hug me
I think they're okay
If they don't give me
Proper credit
I just walk away, yeah
They can beg
And they can plead
But they can't see the light
'Cause the boy
With the cold, hard cash
Is always Mister Right
'Cause we are living
In a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living
In a material world
And I am a material girl
I'm anxious
to meet your brother.

see each other that much.
Birthdays have always
kind of been our thing.

Here.
Come here.
Happy Birthday, dear Laura
Happy Birthday to you
Make a wish!
Yeah!
- Whoa, did you make that?
- Yeah, of course I did!
- Mm!
- Who wants a slice?
I'm gonna finish this first!
Wow, we got homemade cake!
We got sushi! Living the life!
I wish they had shit like this
where I'm staying right now.
It's seems like they got
the same shit every two weeks.
- You don't like where you live?
- It's all right.
It's temporary
until I get my own place.
Yeah, it's like
a glorified hospital.
It's not that bad.
Well, it's not this!
I think I should know.
I'm the one stuck there.
Anyway,
they got these nurses there.
The worst part is
they just hired dogs!
It's nothin' but fat chicks
wearing pajamas and Crocs.
[LAUGHING]
These ladies take good care
of people, but, fuck!
Who with an ounce
of self-respect goes out
- in public wearing Crocs?
- Yeah! They're so ugly!
Right? It's, like,
take some care of yourself!
Fuck, seriously!
They're actually
really comfortable.
- What?
- I used to work in Crocs.
- Really?
- [BOTH LAUGHING]
- They're slip-resistant.
- [LAUGHING]
Laura, fuck!
Slip-resistant?
Yo, I should rap
about that shit!
Don't.
Laura likes her Crocs
She wears 'em with her socks
- With a pocketful of rocks
- Shut the fuck up!
EVA: Uh...
I didn't know you could rap.
BENJAMIN: No?
Laura didn't tell you about me,
about her all-star big brother?
EVA: No!
BENJAMIN: Uh, yeah.
Yeah, I rap a bit.
You like hip hop?
Yeah. Yeah, of course I do.
LAURA: Since when?
Since, I don't know, a while.
BENJAMIN: Cool!
What kind of shit you like?
EVA: Uh, I don't really know
the names.
I just know I like the music.
BENJAMIN: I tell you what,
I make you a mixtape.
EVA: [CHUCKLES] Thanks!
BENJAMIN: Hey, wait!
You ever play in a band?
EVA: Me? No. No.
BENJAMIN: Well, I'm sayin',
you play piano, I write rhymes,
we should fucking make
some dope shit together!
EVA:
Yeah! That... That'd be awesome!
BENJAMIN: Right!
I'll come by next week.
We'll jam some shit out!
EVA: Yeah!
That would be so cool.
I've always wanted
to be in a band!
BENJAMIN: Oh, word!
Then check this out.
You walk around on your feet
But I roll with mad fluidity
The way my rhymes flow spin
Your head to like infinity
You try to keep me down
But I run you over
[BENJAMIN RAPPING INDISTINCTLY]
You know what?
This is fucking shit!
Because now you've filled
her head with a bunch of stupid
ideas, and I'm gonna have
to clean up your mess!
What? What stupid ideas?
That was the last time
you ever fucking come over here!
What the fuck
are you talking about?
She doesn't listen to rap music,
okay?
And she doesn't wanna be
in a stupid fucking band
- with you!
- What are you her mom
or something?
We were just talking!
- Relax.
- You're not black, so stop
- trying to sound like you are!
- And you're not
a fuckin' teenager,
so maybe you should date
someone your own age!

Yeah, happy birthday, sister!

What?
I do everything for you!
I do everything for you!
It's my fucking birthday!
Laura, calm down!
What do you think
you're gonna do, huh?
- You gonna start a band?

Start singing fucking rap music?

Could you get me some water?
Yeah! Yeah, of course!
Thank you.
Laura, please tell me
what happened.
[SIGHING]
I was in...
the hospital
because I got beaten up.
By who?
By my...
By my dad.
What?
Why?
Because he tried to touch me.
Touch you.
And I wouldn't let him.
Touch you how?
In a way that...
a father's not supposed
to touch his own daughter.
Oh my God!
[CRYING]
And I just don't understand,
you know, because I thought that
that stopped a long time ago.
[STAMMERING] What did he do?
[SNIFFLING]
I had to go to my dad's house.
I was showing him
something on the computer.
[SIGHING] And then he tried
to...
but I wouldn't let him.
And so he hit me,
and he wouldn't stop.
How did you get away?
How did you get to the hospital?
I don't wanna talk
about this anymore.
- Did... Did you call the police?
- No.
How come?
Look what he did to you!
No. It's finished, okay?
I don't want to.
He can't get away with this.
- Laura! He can't get away...
- I don't wanna call anybody.
...with this.
Please okay.
- You need to call the police!
- I don't wanna call the fucking
police, okay? Just stop!

I don't have anybody else
in the world, okay?
Just you.

I... I can't make it tonight.
Why not?
'Cause I already got plans.
What are they?
Nothing.
Tell me!
Stop prying.
Well, as your father,
I'm naturally curious
about what you're doing.
Really? At my age,
is that natural?
Yes, I think so.
Well, don't think too hard.
You might hurt yourself.

I can't go tonight

Yeah.

- No, it's just,
it sounds so serious
when you say it like that.
Well, it is.
And believe it or not,
she really loves me too.
I'm sure she does.
- And we live together.
- Oh, you live together!
How long have you

- Long enough.
- How come I didn't know

- What is this...
What is this about, huh?
Are you jealous?
- Why would I...
- Are you jealous

- Why would I be goddamn jealous?
- I'm worried is what I am!

What do you think

Those things that happened
between us should never,

and I want to apologize to you.
- Are you fucking with me?

Why are you doing this now?
Why now, when you know
I have someone over?
There's never a good time
for something like this.
Oh no, this is...

for you!
I'm on record saying that
I don't know anything about you,

where you are.

Let me... Let me out!
I'm gonna let you out right now,
okay?
- Just calm down.
- [CRYING] Please!
There's nothing to worry about.
I'm gonna explain everything,
okay?
Okay.
Just back away from the door,
okay?
Okay.
Hey, you.
Why... Why did you put me
in here?
Because you were really
out of it, and I just wanted
to make sure
we had a chance to talk.
So you locked me in a room?
Just so I could get back
and we could talk.
Talk about what? Let me out!
Okay, wait. You really need
to calm down okay.
- Everything's fine!
- I...
How do you feel?
Do you feel like you understand
what we're a part of now?
I... I don't wanna be in here!
Okay, but I really need to hear
from you that you understand.
I understand that I need
to leave, okay?
So, please, Laura!
Laura, please!
What are you doing?
You still need to be in here.
What are you talking about?
I understand
that you're confused.
I'm not confused about
- anything!
- I know it's a lot to process,
- but it's okay.
- I wanna get out!
Eva, I told you
that I would be in serious
fucking trouble with the police
if they found out you were here,
and you didn't care!
I'll go to jail if they find out
what I did to help you!
Jail, Eva!
So, you get it now,
or is that what you want?
Is that what you want?
Answer me!
Is that what you fucking want?
No!
No!
[BOTH CRYING]
You made a choice.
You made a choice to come here.
And I cannot be the only one
that has to suffer
the fucking consequences!
[DOOR SLAMMING]
Laura! Laura!
Laura!
[SNIFFLING]
Laura!
I'm sorry.
[KNOCKING]
- Hello.
- NANCY: Oh!
Um, no, I don't need the house
to be cleaned right now.
Okay.
Should I come back another time?
I don't know. Not for a while.
Tell your boss that, okay?
Not for a while.
Sure.
I, uh...
I heard about what happened...
and I'm really sorry.
Thank you.
I... I was wondering
if I could give you some, um...
missing posters of my daughter?
Our time's up with the police
and, uh, their help.
So I thought maybe
you could hand them out
to the people you work with?
Yeah, of course.
She's... She's just
a runaway to them.
They're not looking
for her anymore?
No.
That's... That's terrible.
Thank you.
[LAURA CRYING]
[SIGHING]
[WHISPERING] Hey.
Hey. Hey, you.
No more of this tension
between us.
Okay?
It's poison.
Let's just start over.
I can be...
a total wreck sometimes.
[SOBBING] And I know
that I fucked up.
And I'm so sorry.
[SOBBING]
It's just
because you're so precious...
and I can't imagine my life
without you.
We're soulmates.
[SNIFFLING]

- [EVA CHUCKLING]
- LAURA: Okay, almost.
- EVA: What are you doing?
- You'll see!
All right, sit.
- This is so weird.
- Keep them closed.
Open 'em.
A keyboard?
Surprise!
No way! Thank you!
You like it?
Yeah! Yeah, totally!
I figured you needed something
to play on.
Wow!
You are so nice.
I really want you
to be happy here.
I am.
You missed.
Let me try it?
Yeah!

[CAR HONKING]
Whoo! Look at you,

- You're hilarious.
- [LAUGHING]
[GROANING]
This is gonna be so much fun.
You like having a sugar mama
that buys you things?
Yes, thank you.
Okay, you're the only one
that could talk me into doing
something this ridiculous.
Come on! Loosen up, big mama!
Big mama?
I mean sugar mama!
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Okay, let me see!
Beautiful!
[CHUCKLING]
Some boys kiss me
Some boys hug me
I think they're okay
If they don't give me
Proper credit
I just walk away, yeah
They can beg
And they can plead
But they can't see the light
'Cause the boy
With the cold, hard cash
Is always Mister Right
'Cause we are living
In a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living
In a material world
And I am a material girl
I'm anxious
to meet your brother.
[CHUCKLING]
Yeah, we, uh, we don't really
see each other that much.
Birthdays have always
kind of been our thing.
[CHUCKLING]
Here.
Come here.
Happy Birthday, dear Laura
Happy Birthday to you
Make a wish!
Yeah!
- Whoa, did you make that?
- Yeah, of course I did!
- Mm!
- Who wants a slice?
I'm gonna finish this first!
Wow, we got homemade cake!
We got sushi! Living the life!
I wish they had shit like this
where I'm staying right now.
It's seems like they got
the same shit every two weeks.
- You don't like where you live?
- It's all right.
It's temporary
until I get my own place.
Yeah, it's like
a glorified hospital.
It's not that bad.
Well, it's not this!
I think I should know.
I'm the one stuck there.
Anyway,
they got these nurses there.
The worst part is
they just hired dogs!
It's nothin' but fat chicks
wearing pajamas and Crocs.
[LAUGHING]
These ladies take good care
of people, but, fuck!
Who with an ounce
of self-respect goes out
- in public wearing Crocs?
- Yeah! They're so ugly!
Right? It's, like,
take some care of yourself!
Fuck, seriously!
They're actually
really comfortable.
- What?
- I used to work in Crocs.
- Really?
- [BOTH LAUGHING]
- They're slip-resistant.
- [LAUGHING]
Laura, fuck!
Slip-resistant?
Yo, I should rap
about that shit!
Don't.
Laura likes her Crocs
She wears 'em with her socks
- With a pocketful of rocks
- Shut the fuck up!
EVA: Uh...
I didn't know you could rap.
BENJAMIN: No?
Laura didn't tell you about me,
about her all-star big brother?
EVA: No!
BENJAMIN: Uh, yeah.
Yeah, I rap a bit.
You like hip hop?
Yeah. Yeah, of course I do.
LAURA: Since when?
Since, I don't know, a while.
BENJAMIN: Cool!
What kind of shit you like?
EVA: Uh, I don't really know
the names.
I just know I like the music.
BENJAMIN: I tell you what,
I make you a mixtape.
EVA: [CHUCKLES] Thanks!
BENJAMIN: Hey, wait!
You ever play in a band?
EVA: Me? No. No.
BENJAMIN: Well, I'm sayin',
you play piano, I write rhymes,
we should fucking make
some dope shit together!
EVA:
Yeah! That... That'd be awesome!
BENJAMIN: Right!
I'll come by next week.
We'll jam some shit out!
EVA: Yeah!
That would be so cool.
I've always wanted
to be in a band!
BENJAMIN: Oh, word!
Then check this out.
You walk around on your feet
But I roll with mad fluidity
The way my rhymes flow spin
Your head to like infinity
You try to keep me down
But I run you over
[BENJAMIN RAPPING INDISTINCTLY]
You know what?
This is fucking shit!
Because now you've filled
her head with a bunch of stupid
ideas, and I'm gonna have
to clean up your mess!
What? What stupid ideas?
That was the last time
you ever fucking come over here!
What the fuck
are you talking about?
She doesn't listen to rap music,
okay?
And she doesn't wanna be
in a stupid fucking band
- with you!
- What are you her mom
or something?
We were just talking!
- Relax.
- You're not black, so stop
- trying to sound like you are!
- And you're not
a fuckin' teenager,
so maybe you should date
someone your own age!
LAURA: Fuck you!
BENJAMIN:
Yeah, happy birthday, sister!
Thanks

You and my stupid

What?
I do everything for you!
I do everything for you!
It's my fucking birthday!
Laura, calm down!
What do you think
you're gonna do, huh?
- You gonna start a band?
- No.
Start singing fucking rap music?
Are you out of

Why wouldn't I?

WILLIAM: How about I just
drive you home...
and get you settled in?
LAURA:
I'm okay. I just need to rest.

make you something, if you want.
You don't have to cook,

Thank you.

I would goddamn kill them!
Thank you for the lift.
Okay.
I'll, uh,
I'll call you later.
Okay.
Laura?
Oh my God!

I'm okay.
- [INHALING SHARPLY]
- You don't look okay!
I just need to sit down.
Could you get me some water?
Yeah! Yeah, of course!
Thank you.
Laura, please tell me
what happened.
[SIGHING]
I was in...
the hospital
because I got beaten up.
By who?
By my...
By my dad.
What?
Why?
Because he tried to touch me.
Touch you.
And I wouldn't let him.
Touch you how?
In a way that...
a father's not supposed
to touch his own daughter.
Oh my God!
[CRYING]
And I just don't understand,
you know, because I thought that
that stopped a long time ago.
[STAMMERING] What did he do?
[SNIFFLING]
I had to go to my dad's house.
I was showing him
something on the computer.
[SIGHING] And then he tried
to...
but I wouldn't let him.
And so he hit me,
and he wouldn't stop.
How did you get away?
How did you get to the hospital?
I don't wanna talk
about this anymore.
- Did... Did you call the police?
- No.
How come?
Look what he did to you!
No. It's finished, okay?
I don't want to.
He can't get away with this.
- Laura! He can't get away...
- I don't wanna call anybody.
...with this.
Please okay.
- You need to call the police!
- I don't wanna call the fucking
police, okay? Just stop!
[WHIMPERING]
I'm sorry.
[CRYING]
I don't have anybody else
in the world, okay?
Just you.
[SNIFFLING]
Will you please take
care of me? Please?
Yeah, of course. Of course.
Of course.
You're my angel. [SNIFFLING]
Oh God!
[KEYBOARD PLAYING]
You're almost done
with that inventory?
Mm-hmm.
Wanna give it to me?
Thanks.
Oh!
Are you ready for tonight?
I... I can't make it tonight.
Why not?
'Cause I already got plans.
What are they?
Nothing.
Tell me!
Stop prying.
Well, as your father,
I'm naturally curious
about what you're doing.
Really? At my age,
is that natural?
Yes, I think so.
Well, don't think too hard.
You might hurt yourself.
- [SCOFFING]
- [TELEPHONE RINGING]
Yeah!
Uh...
no, tomorrow's fine.
Yeah, tomorrow,
but not next week.
Right? Tomorrow.
Yeah, just tell them that.
Okay.
All right, bye.
[SIGHING]
- She's my lover.
- Sorry?
I can't go tonight
because I'm having dinner
- with my lover.
- Your lover?
Yeah.
- Hard to imagine, isn't it?
- No, it's just,
it sounds so serious
when you say it like that.
Well, it is.
And believe it or not,
she really loves me too.
I'm sure she does.
- And we live together.
- Oh, you live together!
How long have you
even known each other?
- Long enough.
- How come I didn't know
- about this?
- Why the fuck would you?
I mean, what kind
of trouble have you gotten
- yourself into now?
- I haven't gotten myself into
- anything!
- No?
You mean you didn't
have to stalk this one?
- Fuck you!
- Laura!
- No fuck you!
- Shh. Be quiet!
- Keep your voice down.
- What is this...
What is this about, huh?
Are you jealous?
- Why would I...
- Are you jealous
- that I found someone?
- Why would I be goddamn jealous?
- I'm worried is what I am!
- What are you worried about?
What do you think
I'm worried about?
- Come in here.
- Look it is no business
of yours what I do
in my own home.
Oh yes? Your home?
You'd be on the goddamn street
if I didn't buy that home
for you!
Okay, you know what?
Fuck you and fuck this job!
So I quit!
Good!
Run away like you always do!

What the fuck does he want?
I don't know. Just
give me two seconds, okay?
Hi, sweetie.
What the hell
are you doing here?
Yeah, I... I tried to call but,
I guess you're a little busy.
- You know goddamn well I'm busy!
- I know, I know.
What are you doing here?
I'm really sorry
about the argument we had
and the things that I said.
That was stupid,
stupid idiotic things.
I don't care about your apology,
and I don't take back
what I said.
- Are you done now?
- Laura, please!
Just give me a second, please.
I have something else to say.
And I'm very sorry
to bring this up now...
but...
I can't bear the weight
of it anymore,
and, um,
I think it's eating us alive.
And...
I...
I...
I live with guilt and remorse
every single day.
Those things that happened
between us should never,
ever have happened,
and I want to apologize to you.
- Are you fucking with me?
- No, of course not!
Why are you doing this now?
Why now, when you know
I have someone over?
There's never a good time
for something like this.
Oh no, this is...
Definitely the absolute
worst fucking time!
- I'm sorry, angel.
- I didn't mean to ruin
your evening, I promise.
- Bullshit!
- I just... Laura, please!
I need to say this.
I am sorry!
I am sorry!
I am sorry!
[BOTH CRYING]
Do you think you could
ever forgive me?
Are you okay?
I'm fine. Just give me a minute,

I'm fine.
We're trying to have
a private conversation.
- Please.
- What do you want?
- Eva.
- What are you...
- What are you doing here?
- Actually, I need to speak
- with my daughter. Please!
- Why don't you just
leave her alone! Okay.
Haven't you done enough damage?
- Excuse me?
- You're a fucking pervert!
- Eva!
- What?
Oh!
Jesus Christ!
Don't you ever disrespect
my father like that again!
- I was just trying to help you.

Orange
Shadows in the nighttime
Through my dimly-lit mind
When
My heart begins to wander
My thoughts go far
Beyond her
Ah, ah, ah, ah
I
Thought that
I could love her
But then I couldn't
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
In the shade of laughter
My crumbling soul
Goes past her
A drunken filter
Hides her face
In
The room where men come
And go
Talking of Michelangelo
Orange
Shadows in the nighttime
Fill my dimly-lit mind
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Dah-dah-dah
