[MARGOT] You okay?

Charlie.

[GAS PUMP CLICKING]

Yeah.

[QUIETLY] I'm okay. Just thinking.

About what?

[ALLIE MUTTERS]

Yeah, that's good.

[RADIO: MAN SINGING IN SPANISH]

Great. We can make s'mores.

Uh-huh.

Here we go, marshmallows.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Oh, yeah.

[MUTTERS]

[INAUDIBLE]

- What do you think happened to them?
- The cops?

Nothing.

They made it back to Langley
in time for doughnut day.

Someone probably threw
them a ticker-tape parade.

Won all kinds of medals,
commendations, things like that.

Yeah. Beautiful.

I want you to get all
this stuff, all right?

Make sure you pay for the gas too.

Oh, um, tortillas. Make sure
you find some tortillas.

[BUTTONS CLICKING]

[DOGS BARKING]

Uh, hey, is this, uh, Hershey?

[STAMMERS] This is, uh, Julian.

Um, we have a mutual friend

who said you might be able to
help me out with something.

[SLURPS]

[CARTOON CHARACTERS SPEAKING SPANISH]

[SPEAKING SPANISH] Chicos.

[CHARACTERS CONTINUE IN SPANISH]

[IN SPANISH] Hello, sir.

[IN SPANISH] Can I help?

Sure. I'm looking for my brother-in-law.

- Mm-hmm.
- I need to tell him

his mama's sick.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

[IN SPANISH] He was here three days ago.

He bought a Camper Van.

He have the paperwork to
make that transaction?

Of course.

I don't suppose you happen
to have any details?

Uh...

Here.

Thanks.

I don't suppose they mentioned
where they were headed?

I heard the kid say
something about a beach.

He didn't happen to mention what beach?

I'm sorry.

Just "the beach."

[BIRDS SCREECHING]

- [CARTOON CHARACTER HOWLS]
- [CARTOON CHARACTER LAUGHS]

[CHARACTERS CONTINUE IN SPANISH]

[BILL LEE IN SPANISH] So...

this is what we're looking for.

Okay.

Let's go to the beach.

[ALLIE MUTTERING]
... even seaweed as well.

Some down there by the shore.
Not... Not too close.

Otherwise, it'll be wet.

Hey.

- Anybody home?
- Mm-hmm.

Still wanna be in charge
of making the fire?

[SIGHS]

Sure.

Look, you don't owe those
people anything. All right?

They lied to you.

That's brutal.

You don't owe them a thought. Not one.

They were just doing their job.

Well, they have a shitty job.

I don't know. They seemed okay.

[WAVES CRASHING]

Sit down.

- [ITEM CLATTERS]
- [SIGHS]

Let me tell you how these people work.

They grift you into thinking
that they like you.

'Cause once they've done that,
you feel like you owe them.

You're obligated to them.
You understand?

You think they give a sh*t about you?

It's about control. Controlling you.

The best grifters in the world,
they understand control.

Cops, politicians and
big-ass corporations.

They love you as long as you're buying

the bullshit that they're selling you.

- That's how it works, huh?
- That's how it works.

[WHISTLES]

[SEAGULLS CALLING]

[ALLIE] Pretty good, right?
Mexican s'mores?

- They're really good, Dad.
- Mmm.

Psst.

Give that to your sister.

What?

[CHUCKLES]

So, uh...

tomorrow we're gonna be heading
down to a little beach town.

Pichilingue.

Gonna sell the Scooby-mobile.
We're gonna pick up some supplies.

And then we're, uh...

We're gonna head upriver.

How are we gonna get upriver,
you ask? Well, I'm glad you did.

We're getting a boat.

[ALLIE] Come on.

A boat!

It's lovely to live on a raft.

We got the sky up there
all speckled with stars,

and we can lay on our
backs and look up at them.

Discuss whether they were
made or just happened.

- Where's that from?
- Huckleberry Finn.

That's right. Huckleberry Finn.

Who said it?

Dina.

Dina, who said it? Come on. It's easy.

Dina.

[SNIFFLES, CRIES]

- What's wrong?
- [CRIES]

"What's wrong?"

Do you ever think about us?
About what we might want?

Jesus, of course.
You're all I think about.

Sure. As long as we're telling you
that you're the smartest person

in the whole entire universe
every five minutes.

Honey, come on. That's not fair.

If you actually gave a sh*t,

you would have sent us to go live with
Grandma and Grandpa years ago.

You're better off with
your mother and I.

In what world?

Do you know how deranged you sound?

People are dead, Dad.

Actual people are actually dead,

and we're here on the beach
eating f*cking Mexican s'mores,

which aren't even a real thing.

And you actually think that's
enough to make it better.

Because you want it to, and
that's how the world works, right?

Except it doesn't work like that.

You just need to control everyone.

I mean, that's why you
make us live like this.

Because if it was any other way,

we would have seen right through
you like everyone else did.

Big genius Allie Fox.

Spends an entire life inventing things

nobody wants and nobody needs.

But it's always them that's wrong.
You know, everyone else is wrong.

Not you. Never you.

- But look at us.
- Shut up!

- Hey.
- Leave him alone.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Hey!

f*ck! [PANTING]

Just sit the f*ck down.

[SIGHS]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

[SIGHS]

[IN SPANISH] Hello.

Hola.

Have you seen an orange Kombi?

I'm looking for my
sister and her family.

[RUSTLING]

[ALLIE] So... I'm gonna
go meet this guy.

Charlie, I need you to
go to the supermarket.

Pick up some rice and beans,
that kind of thing.

Dry. No cans, no jars.

I can do that.

I'll do it.

[CHARLIE SIGHS]

Hey, wait.

[ALLIE] What?

Go. It's okay.

- Just be... be careful.
- What?

Quickly. Fast.

Passed an adventure tourism
place when we came in off...

just off the main strip.

I need you to go pick
up some iodine tablets,

compass, decent map, if they have one.

Some ferro rods, tarp,
paracord, first aid kit.

Yeah.

Oh, uh, flashlight. Best you can find.

Anything else?

Duct tape. Can't have enough duct tape.

I'll be back in a half an hour.

[DINA] So, did you see this place?

What place?

The adventure shop or whatever.

[SIGHS]

The place with the stuff.

I didn't even see it.

We're not going to the adventure place.

We're finding Charlie and going home.

Wait, what? Home where?

Home.

What about Dad?

[SEAGULLS CALLING]

[MEN SPEAKING SPANISH]

[RADIO: MAN SINGING IN SPANISH]

You, uh, Hershey?

Julian?

Bring it in, man.

[CHUCKLES]

It's nice to meet you, man.

You don't look like a Julian.

Have to take that up with my mother.

[SEAGULLS CALLING]

That one right here.

[GRUNTS]

[ALLIE] She's certainly
got some miles on her.

Yeah, super reliable though.
Or your money back.

So what are you asking for her?

Fifteen thousand. US. Obviously.

Feel like I could get
one of these for eight.

Six, the condition she's in.

Yeah. Yeah, you could.

I'm guessing it's a seller's market
kind of deal, you know?

I don't wanna be that guy,

but the crazy thing about it
is I actually am that guy.

At some point along the way,
I just got turned onto the whole...

supply-and-demand of it.

That seems to happen, doesn't it?

It's like hemorrhoids. [CHUCKLES]

Everyone gets 'em
if you're around long enough.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] Gracias, señor.

Anything else I can help you with?

- What do you mean?
- I don't know.

Personal defense maybe.

You mean g*ns?

Sure.

No. I don't need any g*ns.

Nobody does... till they do.

Anybody who needs a g*n

has already lost the
argument, my friend.

Eye for an eye makes
the whole world blind.

Unless you get both eyes first.

Let's get you the f*ck off my boat.

- Hi, do you speak English?
- [SPEAKS FRENCH]

[MARGOT] Someone has to speak English.

- Excuse me, do you speak English?
- Yes, I do.

Okay, I'm looking for a boy.
He's, like, this high.

He's got a red T-shirt on. Uh...

So, do you have a name?

Is there anyone I can

Please understand,

you've committed a very
serious offense in my town.

But I want to help you. That's my job.

But if you don't help
me to do that job...

My daughter gave me this.

She like dolphins.

Do you?

No.

Dolphins k*ll baby porpoises.

They b*at them to death,
break their bones.

Poor porpoises don't even
compete for their food, but...

dolphins just do it for fun.

Nobody cares because dolphins
are super intelligent.

They always look like they're happy.

Dolphins are assholes.

sh*t him with what, his finger?

Who cares? How long do
you think it's gonna be

before Aunt Lucrecia finds
out that Charlie's in there?

Because that's who he sh*t,
right, one of hers?

We need to get on the phone

and turn ourselves in to
US authorities right now.

Cut a deal. Get Charlie out now.

He can be on the plane and
in the States by tomorrow.

He and Dina can go live
with Mom and Dad.

Well, that is absolutely
not gonna happen.

- Dad.
- Yes, it is.

This is my choice to make.
This is my fault.

You don't get a say in how
I choose to put it right.

That's my decision.

No.

This is nobody's fault.

There's no deal to cut.
There's no America.

It's just us. We don't
just throw that away.

We fix it.

Things can be f*cking fixed.

We could break in

Yeah, except there's
cops inside with g*ns.

- Could set it on fire.
- [CHUCKLES]

They'd have to evacuate, right?

Yeah, except if you build
the fire too small,

they just come and they put it out.

Build a fire too big, get a cell
block full of crispy critters.

Fire's a bastard.

[SIGHS]

Steal a truck. Drive it
straight through the walls.

It's kinda your go-to move, isn't it?

- It could work.
- Yeah,

except you still have cops with g*ns.

- And then you got whiplash.
- [SIGHS]

It's a good idea though.

Keep thinking about it. Roll 'em over.
