[CARL E. PANTING, GROANING]
- Trying to get this?
- The student has become the teacher.
Thanks to me and my experiment.
- If that's what you call stalking,
kidnapping and murder.
- Well, some call it
releasing their inner goddess.
- [SIGHS]
- How'd you find me?
- Same way you followed me: with her.
[PANTING]
It's the only thing
that I would never get rid of,
the one thing that I loved,
the one thing that I had here.
So you broke into my apartment,
you drugged her,
and then fucked with her chip.
- A good dog owner like you,
of course I knew she'd have a chip.
See, that's the problem.
You think technology is your servant,
and really it's just a back door
to bad boys like me.
- And me.
Thanks to the app
that's connected to her chip,
here we are again,
you and me enjoying
a lovely morning in the L.A. River.
- I underestimated you.
- And I overestimated you.
I mean, did you really think
that I would give her up?
- Well, you get a gold star.
Yay for you.
Help me up.
- Do you know how many times
a citizen is caught on camera?
75 times a day for an American,
300 for a Brit.
And that's just security cameras.
- Well, I don't give a shit.
Now, help me up.
- I think you should give a shit.
You should definitely give a shit,
because
doesn't really look like you're mobile.
You're not walking out of here
or crawling.
I think this might be the one place
in this entire fucked-up city
doesn't have any security cameras,
ATM camera,
an asshole on an iPhone.
This is the one place
where you can scream
and scream and scream
and no one will ever hear you.
- Oh, really?
Are you gonna kill me?
You, Boo Boo?
Hmm, you're gonna snuff out a human life?
- Why did you do it?
Why didn't you just let him be?
- God.
It's like breathing for you, isn't it?
That endless squalling and screeching.
[SCOFFS]
Jesus.
- He was a good person.
- Yeah.
Well, you're not.
You're damaged goods.
You were made a loser,
and you'll go out as one,
boo-hooing down the Yellow Brick Road.
Now, fucking help me up!
- [WHISTLES]
Pebbles, kill.
[PANTING, WHINING]
[PEBBLES HOWLING SOFTLY]
[BARKS]
- [LAUGHING]
What a badass.
- Come here.
You want to know why I'm crying?
- 'Cause you need a stylist?
- Got something in my eye, asshole.
Don't forget your phone.
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING IN DISTANCE]
- [GRUNTING]
Fuck.
[GROANS]
You're joking.
