Um, subject King,
just out of County,
participation mandatory,
and details to follow.
All right, turn it off.
[King]
I'm not saying sh*t
till you turn
the damn thing on.
[switches clicking]
[interviewer]
So, um, what's your name?
King.
[interviewer] King.
How did you
get that name?
It's always been.
[interviewer]
Is that your real name
or your street name? Or...
Just my name.
[interviewer] So how is...
[King] Can I have a smoke?
[interviewer] Sure.
Thanks.
[interviewer] So, how was jail?
Oh, f*ck.
Can I... can I...
Can I say "f*ck"?
[interviewer] Yeah.
It says here, "as*ault,
possession, loitering..."
and that was
pretty petty stuff.
Yeah, right.
It's just survival.
A lot of kids tell you
that they party all night
with, uh, Axl Rose,
or that their girlfriend
got banged by the crips.
Or they've seen five guys
get m*rder*d, or something.
But the truth is,
it's not hard.
It's not easy.
It just is.
[King coughing]
[interviewer] You okay?
[King] Yeah.
[interviewer] How long have you
been on the street?
Six, seven years.
[interviewer] How old are you?
Uh, 20, might be 21.
I'm not exactly sure.
That's a good question,
though.
[interviewer] Did you have any
brothers or sisters
growing up?
[King] Yeah, I got a sister,
but, uh, she's gone
from home, too.
Maybe she'll show up here
in Hollywood sometime,
you know.
I'll take care of her,
or something.
I hope she's not
into drugs or anything.
She probably is.
She might be dead.
[interviewer]
What about your mom,
your dad?
[King] What about 'em?
[interviewer] Do you, um...
[King] Not very comfortable
talking about 'em? Yeah.
Hey, what the hell?
Hey, you with the camera,
up here, I'm talking.
[interviewer] Drugs?
What kind you got?
[laughs]
Just kidding.
[interviewer] What kind you do?
[King] Don't do 'em.
[interviewer] Hey, look,
nobody's gonna see this tape,
I mean...
[King] I'm not sh1tting you.
I just want you
to be straight
with me.
I'm being
straight with you.
[interviewer] You do realize
that your participation
in this program
is one of the terms
of your parole?
Yeah, I also realize
that you're giving me
ten bucks a pop
for these sessions,
so, uh,
thank you very much.
[interviewer] Is that why
you decided to participate
in this program?
Because of the money?
[King] Oh, it's better than
picking up trash
on the freeway.
[interviewer laughs]
Uh, are you... are you done?
Is that it? Can I go?
[interviewer] Just a minute.
Um, wh... where are
you gonna go?
Well, I've been in lockup
for two months,
where the f*ck
do you think I'm gonna go?
[interviewer] You going back
out on the street?
Yeah.

Because you got

in your hair.
And 'cause you...
you're ju... you're shitty.
[all laughing]
That's not funny.
Why don't you jump, King?
[interviewer]
What's a typical King day?
[King]
A typical King day?
[interviewer] Mmm.
[King coughing]
Well, hit the streets,
hook up with my friends.
You know.
Kick back. Hang out.
Stay out of trouble.
[laughing]
[King grunting]
[King]
That's it. That's it.
That's it.
[King grunting]
Hey, let him go,
you f*cking pigs.
[King]
Little J.!
Now! I'm not
f*cking around, man! Now!
Put that thing down!
You f*cking heard me, man!
Now!
You heard me!
[Greg]
Come on, come on!
Come on! Let's go.
[laughing]
[King] They're good people.
You'd like Little J.
He's a little sh*t, man,
I'm telling you.
-Skinny little f*ck.
-[interviewer] Yeah.
He's growing, though.
It's wild.
He's hard to keep fed.
That's a tough habit.
[Little J.]
Hey, yo, wait up.
When did you
get out, man?
Just a couple of
short hours ago.
You on the streets,
or are you at home?
f*ck them, man.
I haven't been home
since you got busted.
What the f*ck were
you doing back there,
Little J.?
What do you mean?
I was saving
your f*cking a*s.
Don't pull a g*n
on somebody again.
Get the f*ck off me.
It was stupid.
It wasn't even loaded.
That's even stupider.
Give it to me.
No.
Yes.
Where did you find
this sissy piece of sh*t,
anyway?
In the trash, man.
It don't even work.
Ah, it figures.
[Little J.] What the f*ck
did you do that for, man?
Your own good.
f*ck you!
I'm out of here.
[Greg] I think you
pissed him off, man.
[King] Hey, Little J.!
What?
You want that tat still?
What do you think, man?
I've been waiting
two months
for the f*cking thing.
Come on, then.
[Greg]
So, how was jail, man?
[King] Boring. Easy.
Did you
suck any c*ck?
Just your dad's.
[Manny]
Whoo!
And they're going
into the stretch!
Manny goes for the whip,
makes a bid for the outside!
Whoo!
Go ahead.
Run, m*therf*cker!
Come on!
[interviewer]
How do you
get by on the street?
[King coughing]
[King] Excuse me,
I thought we just
went all over that stuff
with the as*ault,
and the possession,
and the loitering,
all that petty stuff.
[interviewer] Right.
Give it up, m*therf*cker!
You guys have turkey potpie?
This is, uh, vegetable beef,
and I... I'm allergic
to anything
with lard in it. Or, um...
Do they cook the turkey
with lard?
Coming through!
[Manny]
Watch out! Watch out!
Well, excuse me, sir.
[screaming]
Come on! Let's go! Let's go!
Come on! Come on! Whoo!
Going into the stretch! Whoo!
I did bust your a*s, boy.
I told you. You can't f*ck
with me in this wheelchair.
See, man, that's
one of the advantages
to being a cr*pple.
[laughing]
Oh, get the f*ck
out of here.
[laughing]
Hey, f*ck'...
You've been in County
too long, King.
How you doing?
What's up, baby?
Hey, you're looking good.
Staying out of trouble, man?
Oh, I'm trying.
I'm trying.
All right.
Let's get off
this street corner.
[coughing]
Hey, you got a smoke?
Yeah, you need one.
[Manny]
Yo, so how was it
up County, man?
What, did you read
a couple of books?
-Yeah.
-Well, did you
lift some weights?
Yeah, a little bit.
-You suck some dicks?
-Now, come on.
[chuckling]
It's great having you back,
though, man.
You're looking good.
You still
a ugly m*therf*cker, though.
[King]
Drugs is the toughest habit.
And friends. Friends
are tough to keep, too.
[interviewer sighs]
I don't know,
what do you think?
Do you want to
tell me something?
You want to tell me
some kind of little...
Little something
about your day?
A little... a little tidbit?
[interviewer]
A little tidbit about you?
About your day.
Well, I'm just...
Looking... looking to
get out of here and hook up.
Ow, man.
-You all right?
-Yeah.
Don't be a puss.
f*ck you.
Yo, King, man,
you gonna crash with us
in the hole tonight?
I mean, we saved
your clothes and sh*t.
[King]
No, I was gonna look
for Devon, maybe get some.
Has anybody seen her?
No, man, I ain't seen her.
What do you mean?
I mean, I ain't
seen her, man.
What the f*ck, you guys?
g*dd*mn!
I told you to
watch out for my lady,
And... and so, what?
Is that... is that
too much to ask or what?
Hey, look, King, man,
um, last time we seen her,
she was with that kid,
Tommy Ray.
I think she's
in his stable.
You've seen Devon
with Tommy Ray?
Yeah, she started
swinging with him
when you got locked up.
[King]
Well, just out of curiosity,
were you gonna tell me?
[Greg]
Yeah.
Yeah? When?
I don't know.
Thank God you're back.
Hey, Brenda.
Who are you?
Heather.
[King]
You just get here?
[Brenda]
Two days ago.
She's from chicago.
Trip out. Me, too.
Bullshit, you're from Phoenix.
Brenda, you know,
the next time I want you
to open your mouth,
I'll... I'll point at you.
Why don't you sit down?
You're making me nervous.
I'm King.
King?
As in what, burger?
He's the one
I told you about.
Yeah, I bet you did.
Hey, y'all,
I was thinking of
maybe going and doing
a little train hopping.
Yeah.
How'd that be?
Cool.
Greg there's got some speed,
don't you, Greg?
[Brenda and Crasher laughing]
I was thinking maybe
we'd get, uh, some pot,
some mushrooms.
I don't know.
Let's get all f*cked up.
Yeah, later.
Hey, Crasher, come here.
Come here, man.
[interviewer]
So why do you think
so many kids come out here?
[King]
Most kids come out to L.A.
looking for Hollywood.
[Brenda]
Told you everything
would be cool, didn't I?
Usually, it's not
what they expect.
-You're from Chicago?
-Yeah.
Crasher, I went in lockup
for two months.
I get out, and everything
turns to sh*t.
I took a zip g*n off
of Little J. tonight.
Greg is off
tweaking his brains out.
And where the hell
is my girlfriend?
I don't know.
-Huh?
-I don't know.
Well, what the f*ck
do you know about?
Don't look at me
like it's my fault.
Crasher, man,
you f*cked me.
I asked you to
look out for everyone.
Yeah, well,
you shouldn't have done that.
That was a mistake.
I mean, sh*t, man,
nobody listens to me.
You know, you're the one
they listen to.
sh*t, I'm older than you
and I don't get
any kind of respect.
Before you start pointing
fingers, you take a look
in that f*cking mirror.
That's the guy
you want to blame.
You know, it's pretty lame
how you got busted that way.
You know,
and then you just,
like, disappear,
and figure, well,
I just gonna, like,
keep tabs on everybody.
Well, guess again, pal.
On Devon?
[scoffs]
Yeah.
I'm sorry, man,
but it's not my fault.
I didn't have anyone else
I could ask.
What are you doing?
You stink.
That's you, man.
-It's not me.
-It's you.
It's not me.
Someone could be dying
in the f*cking streets
and they won't
do a thing.
But if you just
so happen to jaywalk,
ten of them will come
out of the woodwork.
sh*t, I got busted
last week for jaywalking.
You got busted
for being too fat.
Shut up, dickhead!
King...
King, uh, the trolls
are partying tonight
at the western squat.
King?
Why doesn't anybody
f*cking listen
to me around here?
Hey, mouse.
How old are you?
Almost 18.
How come you
moved to hollyweird?
Just wanted to.
You want to be
a movie star, don't you?
No.
-Yeah, you do.
-No, I don't.
Why not?
I'm gonna be one.
Yeah, after you lose
about 100 pounds.
Brenda, I think you
have star quality.
[Brenda]
Yeah, Julia Roberts,
eat your heart out, baby.
Yeah, sleeping
with a fat girl.
-f*ck you!
-f*ck you.
[King]
Hey, J., come on.
[Little j.]
Why don't you
sit the f*ck down.
[Brenda]
Don't touch me.
Hey, I heard you had to
sleep with somebody
to get in this joint.
No, I didn't.
Crasher.
Have you seen Devon?
Is she here?
No, I ain't seen her,
But Tommy Ray is over there.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Tommy.
[Tommy]
Holy sh*t!
Well, well, well.
It's the King
And his little
band of butt pirates.
Hey, f*ck you, man.
f*ck me?
That's what I got in mind.
Who is this guy
right here?
Hey, you know, for a kid,
you got a great a*s.
I could make money
With this kid.
I'm looking for Devon.
Yeah?
Well, who isn't?
Well, I ain't
seen the little c**t.
That's not quite
how I heard it, Tommy.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
Well, don't believe
everything you hear.
That f*cking b*tch
was stealing from me.
She stole my radio,
she stole my rock.
So naturally I kicked
the f*cking b*tch out.
I mean, the last
I heard was
that, uh, she got
her face cut up real bad,
and just...
No, no, no. I know her.
She's not robbing
or stealing or thieving.
Nothing.
So what are you doing?
You calling me a liar?
[Crasher]
Hey, Tommy Ray,
you got your whole life
to be an as*h*le.
Why don't you
take tonight off?
Why don't you
go f*ck yourself, huh?
All right, all right,
Get the f*ck off of him.
Get off of him.
[King]
Be cool. Be cool.
Come on,
where is she?
Hey, why don't you
do me a favor?
Why don't you
bring back your little friend
as soon as he, uh,
gets some pubic hair.
[Little J.]
Hey, f*ck you, man!
[laughing]
Pubic hair,
that... that's good.
[sniffing]
Come on, Greg,
don't be needing that.
[Little J.]
f*ck that.
And f*ck Tommy Ray!
You shouldn't have
tossed my f*cking g*n.
I'm glad I did, too.
I feel like k*lling somebody.
[interviewer]
Did your family
live in the hole
which is under
the bridge of the...
[King]
Under the freeway, yeah.
But not always there.
It depends on the weather
and, you know,
who's with us
or who's already there,
but that's basically our home.
[Brenda]
I'll sleep with you, King.
[King]
Oh, Brenda, now that's...
Now, that's sweet.
I'm just not sure
I'm up to the challenge.
Why not, baby?
[Little J.]
Because you're too fat
is why not, b*tch!
Shut up, fool!
f*ck you, b*tch.
I ain't no fool.
Yeah, you are.
You're a scrawny
little piece of sh*t.
f*ck, he's been here forever.
-[King] Seven years.
-[Brenda] I'm sick of you
and your trash.
If I want to
sleep with King,
I'll sleep with King.
Keep your butt
out of it.
-[Little J.]
Just shut the f*ck up!
-[Brenda] No!
Hey, J. Stay out
of her hair,
or she's gonna
keep us up all night,
all right.
I know, I know,
I know.
Here. Here.
Hey, where are
you guys staying?
[Heather]
We've been
at the Bowl Motel.
-sh*t, who's paying
for that?
-[Brenda] I paid for it.
Well, I ain't whoring,
if that's what you're asking.
[Little J.]
Yeah, sure you ain't.
Listen, you save your money,
this one here will
take you for a ride.
I'm gonna get a job.
And you know sh*t,
d*ck-for-brains.
I hope you do.
It's "You know d*ck,
sh*t-for-brains."
So get one.
I think either
is correct.
It's a declarative sentence,
so the juxtaposition
of the adjective
is appropriate
in either place.
Hey, nobody here
take any of Heather's money.
I'd take that personal.
[Crasher]
Oh, okay, King,
I won't take it from her.
[King]
I don't think
that would be right.
[Little J.]
Ok, I won't do it.
[Brenda]
She's my buddy,
and I'm takin' care of her.
...right?
Hey, Little J.,
what's the aerosol du jour?
I don't know.
Just something
I picked up in 'Nam.
When I was down in County,
Greg came down,
but like he was gonna
get $500 to bail me out?
It's nice, though,
to have somebody
that, uh, wanted to.
[sniffing]
[King]
Hey!
Hey, what's up?
You want some?
[sighs]
You should try
and get some sleep.
No.
You gonna sleep
With Heather tonight?
Not tonight.
[Greg sniffing]
When I went in lockup,
I couldn't sleep
for the first week.
I was used to
the f*cking freeway.
Have to get
used to it again.
You having fun?
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm totally f*cking tweaked.
Can I scratch that
for you?
Can we do something
tomorrow night?
Yeah.
Can we?
Yeah.
I'd like that.
All right,
I'm out of here, man.
Uh, King.
It's good to
have you back, man.
Thanks.
It makes me feel better,
you know?
Can I have one?
Morning.
Hi.
That's the best I can do.
That's good.
Where did you
learn that?
I don't know. I've just
been doing it forever.
How long you been
picking at your nails?
[King] People can come
into your life,
and you can
become very close,
and then
they're gone in a week,
and you never see them again.
[interviewer]
Hmm, how do you
feel about that?
There's nothing
I can do about it.
What were you
locked up for?
as*ault
with a deadly weapon.
This bum was
trying to rob me,
so I hit him
with a bottle.
He got three stitches,
and I got three months.
One month suspended.
Brenda said you k*lled him.
Yeah, well, Brenda,
she says a lot of things.
I'd believe
about none of them.
Could I ask you a favor?
What kind of favor?
Oh, just a simple favor.
Maybe.
[interviewer]
So, within your family,
do you have some
kind of code of honor?
[King]
Yeah.
[interviewer]
Well, what... what is it?
[King] Let's just say
we look out for each other.
[announcement]
Attention, please,
now arriving at gate 5,
bus number 371
from San Francisco.
[people chattering]
...please come to
the main ticket counter.
Excuse me.
You got a light on you?
-Got a cigarette?
-Sure.
I thought I was
gonna go f*cking nuts.
They don't let you
smoke on the bus.
-Yeah? Long trip, huh?
-Yeah.
[footsteps approaching]
Ugh!
Hey, Tommy.
[Tommy screaming]
You f*cking b*stards!
[groaning]
sh*t!
[Little J.]
You look good, Tommy!
-[Tommy] f*ck you!
-I'm gonna k*ll him.
f*ck you!
sh*t!
sh*t!
f*ck! f*ck!
f*ck! God damn it!
[sighs]
Hey,
sleeping beauty.
Can you
fix this f*ck?
What is it?
It's a piece of sh*t!
I don't know, man.
I could try.
Well, if you can fix it,
you got a quarter of meth, man.
Move over.
sh*t, I'd do it for that.
Put on a g*dd*mn shirt.
Oh, why don't you?
Where's the milk? g*dd*mn.
f*ck, I just f*cking
bought this yesterday.
You know, I'm sick of this.
Nobody should be allowed
In this refrigerator
except us.
Climb in and shut
the f*cking door.
No, f*ck you!
f*ck' sh*t!
f*ck.
You want to
slam a speedball?
No, man.
My treat.
No, f*ck that, man.
No needles.
Good boy. Just say no.
I say yeah.
When's the last time
you ate?
Yesterday.
f*ck. I can't get
this stupid f*cking thing.
J., no, give it up, man.
You're never gonna get it.
Yeah.
You want
another burger?
Yeah.
I'll take one, too, buddy.
f*ck you, Little Buddy.
So, you want to spend
the night with me, baby?
He likes you.
Oh, yeah?
Definitely.
How can you tell?
I can tell
by the way he's acting.
He's trying to be all cool.
I think she's right.
Besides, you're
a dead ringer for Devon.
Who's that?
His ex-old lady.
He k*lled her.
Really?
Yeah, just f*cking stabbed
her right in the gut
and cut her up
in little pieces.
But don't tell him
I told you that.
It could... it could
get a little messy.
I won't.
He's very touchy about it.
You know, who knows
when he might strike again.
He's lethal.
Here you go.
Thanks.
[King]
Hey, Brenda,
I bought that for her.
Don't you share?
[interviewer]
so, what's the first thing
you learn on the street?
[King]
You try not to get
too high, or too low.
You just learn
to watch your back.
[traffic humming]
Oh, sh*t. Oh, f*ck.
["Royal station 4/16" playing]
[all laughing]
[Heather]
I'm telling you,
this is crazy.
What happens
if you miss?
[Greg]
Then you die, baby.
[King]
You're not gonna die.
[Little J.]
I mean, you might.

So, when you guys
don't stay in shelters,
and you don't
have a curfew,
that's the kind of
thing you do at night?
Yeah, you know, just...
Kicking back, f*cking around,
just trying to...
Trying to have fun.
Like kids do,
you know, like kids.
These kids are kids.
[Greg]
Come on, man. f*ck.
f*ck it, will you come on?
Hold on. f*ck, f*ck.
God damn it.
f*ck! Come on, bro.
I'm comin'.
[mutters]
f*ck. Come on, come on.
It's about
f*cking time, man.
f*ck.
You got a light?
[King]
I got high the first time
when I was eight.
[interviewer]
Ever take heroin?
No. I never shot heroin.
But you did other drugs?
Well, pot, alcohol, meth,
mushrooms, acid.
I had a great trip on
Hollywood boulevard one time.
I was, like, trying to scrape
the stars off the sidewalk.
[interviewer laughs]
It was totally wild.
[traffic humming]
You do this?
A couple of years ago.
It's beautiful.
So, what, you've been
here about seven years?
Yeah.
In L.A.
Three or four here in the hole.
On and off.
You want to go
sit over here?
-Why?
-Why not?
You're a little edgy,
aren't you?
[laughs]
Well, maybe I am.
I mean, what's this I hear
about you
k*lling your girlfriend?
It's a joke?
Oh, hey.
Hey!
Um, I think we're gonna
go back to my van.
We got to get something
straight between us.
[laughs]
Why don't you
come over here
and sit by me?
[mutters]
What's wrong?
Nothing. I... I just
don't want to do any more.
I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to scare you.
What the hell
do you want to do?
Sleep.
Come to think of it,
I'm kind of tired myself,
I guess.
Here,
take my sleeping bag.
Make yourself comfortable.
It's okay.
No, it's okay.
I got an extra one.
It's gonna be real cold.
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.
Thanks.
I got 98.6 over here,
by the way.
[laughing]
Body temperature.
[laughing]
That's really great.
[clears throat]
[door locks clicking]
Here, bro, take this.
f*ck.
Oh, sh*t, man.
That's the new B.M.W.
No, don't f*ck
with that, man.
That one's alarmed.
Yeah, man.
[alarm blaring]
[Greg]
Yo, f*ck,
get out of here, man!
[King]
Little J.'s
kind of an artist, though.
A graffiti artist. Yeah.
You've probably seen
his tag all over town.
It's like an "L"
with a wide bottom
that goes into a "J."
L. J.
It's all up and down Cahuenga.
Every block.
One night he said
he was gonna get every block
up to the freeway.
And he did.
f*ck! f*ck!
Ah, you little f*ck!
Hey, little f*ck!
Come here, come here.
Come here.
Problem?
Yeah, one named Little J.
[both groaning]
-f*cking as*h*le!
-What did he do?
He almost
got us busted, man,
then he dropped
the f*cking stereos
that we already f*cking had!
-Come here.
-[J. groaning]
Leave him alone,
You're stronger than he is.
f*ck you!
I'm out of here!
Where you going?
What the f*ck
do you care, man?
I give you guys everything.
My money, my f*cking drugs,
and all you do is stick up
for this little f*gg*t!
Forget about it!
f*ck you,
I'm out of here!
[Little J.]
f*cking speed freak.
Shut up, J.
Shut up.
Go to bed.
Is she
staying with us, too?
Just go to bed.

♪ Hey, hey ♪
[people chattering]
Excuse me, can you
spare some change?
A penny?
Anything, please?
[Little J.]
Excuse me, do you know
What time it is?
Can you spare some change
so me and my sister can
get something to eat?
Excuse me, sir,
Could you
spare a little change
so my father and I could eat?
f*ck you, "your father." You
Axl Rose-looking-m*therf*cker.
I ain't your
f*cking father, man.
Got any
spare coins, b*tch?
Please,
give me some money!
[coughing]
Excuse me, sir,
could you spare some change
so I can give
my horse some feed?
Just a little
something, sir.
[Manny laughs]
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
He's got
an unfair advantage.
[singing]
Hello, officers.
Why don't you
cut the bullshit?
Were you down
at the bus station yesterday?
No, I wasn't at the station.
No, I wasn't.
You're on parole,
aren't you?
Yes, sir.
And I'm obeying all
the terms of my parole,
I assure you.
Let's hope so.
Why don't you get
your butt off my car?
Yes, sir.
Get out of here.
What's your name, miss?
Heather.
My mother would die
if she knew I was
being harassed by cops.
She says you have to
contribute to society.
Your mother
talks a lot of sh*t.
Yeah.
I'm sure
she's a very nice lady.
She's got
to be real pretty.
[King]
What's one of my lines?
[interviewer] Yeah,
what's one of your lines?
[King snaps fingers]
Buddy,
can you spare a dime?
That one
doesn't usually work.
But, no, you can say
pretty much anything.
People, you know, they can
tell when you need money.
And when I get money,
I give it to somebody
that's less fortunate than me.
So, I figure, it goes around.
[music playing]
[knocking on door]
Is Ted here?
-Ted!
-[Ted] Who is it?
Greg.
Aspirin?
No, man.
I'm trying to quit.
[groans]
So, what do you need, huh?
More meth?
Yeah, man.
That sh*t will drive
you crazy after a while.
[sighing]
Sure you don't want
to slam one of these?
No, man.
Suit yourself.
[sighs]
Just say no.
[moaning]
[sighs]
Here you go, man.
[laughs]
Hey.
Where's the cash
you owe me, huh?
Man, I'll... I'll get it.
Come back when you do.
Well, I was thinking
you could front me a bit.
Oh, no can do, bro.
Can't do that no more.
Times are changing.
Well, maybe I could make
a run for you again.
Like I did that one time.
Just get the cash you owe me
and take a shower.
You really stink.
Now, out of here.
Come on.
[door opens]
[interviewer]
You do spare-changing,
and stuff like that,
but you don't
walk the streets.
What does
"walk the streets" mean?
It means I never had to
f*ck anybody for money.
[interviewer]
But you've seen
lots of kids do it.
[King] Yeah.
You see lots of kids do it.
Boys and girls. You know,
when they're growing up,
they never think that
that's how
it's gonna turn out
and they wake up one morning,
and then, there they are,
doing it, you know.
-[Little J.] Hey, Kimmy.
-Hey, Little J.
Where you staying?
The Hills Motel.
How many people you got?
-Five.
-Who?
Some of Rob's
as*h*le friends.
How much you paying?
Seven bucks. Unless a trick
buys it for us.
-Can I use your shower?
-Yeah.
-Hello? Hi, is Dave there?
-Can I use your shower?
Yeah. Go ahead.
Go for it. Go.
All right.
Thank you.
Hi, yeah, Dave.
Hi, it's Kimmy.
Do, uh, you want to
have a date tonight?
It's that first time
that gets 'em.
I've seen 'em.
I've just never
had a first time.
[Heather]
Where are all
the hookers at?
[King]
Well, most of
the scuzzy ones
work downtown
or in the valley.
But a lot of them
go through those
escort services.
Excuse me, sir,
Me and my sister
haven't had something to eat
for a couple of days.
Could you help us out?
Thanks.
-King?
-Hmm?
-Have you ever...
-No. No.
Not unless you count
sleeping with some girl
just to have a place
to lay your head down,
shut your eyes.
Know what I mean?
No.
Good.
Oh, my goodness,
What's that?
[giggles]
[interviewer]
So what happens
when the cops bust a squat?
Uh, well...
Usually they're pretty cool,
but I have to get
the kids out of there
'cause they'll run them
through missing person
rr runaway, you know.
They'll just
send them on home.
I wouldn't let any
of my friends go home.
It's worse there.
I swear.
And the hardwood floors
were redone about a year ago.
[door opens]
Kellin, can I call you back?
Someone's at my back door.
Okay, thanks, bye-bye.
[Mrs. Burtis]
Well, look who
we have here.
You've been gone, what,
two months this time?
Greg, can I ask you
how long you plan
on staying?
Greg, talk to me!
-Shut up!
-Greg!
I'm calling your father!
f*ck you!
[King]
I mean, I wouldn't let
any of my friends go home.
[Little J.]
Hey, thanks
for the shower, man.
[Rob]
You look like
a drowned f*cking rat.
-Hey, Rob, how old are you?
-What's it to you?
I don't know.
Just asking.
I'm 22, but I could
Pass for 17. Why?
I need to buy some b*ll*ts,
But they won't
sell them to me.
What do you
need them for?
Ah.
Let me see that.
See with your eyes,
not with your hands.
You're an as*h*le.
Will you buy 'em?
I mean, I got the money.
Well, maybe,
if you do something for me.
Like what?
I got this trick later,
but I don't want to see him.
I'm busy.
Maybe you can go
in my place.
No way, man,
I'm not down for that sh*t.
He's a cool old guy,
he won't even touch you.
You don't need to
touch him or nothing.
No.
Okay.
Sure is a sweet g*n.
I mean,
what's the use of a g*n
if you ain't got no b*ll*ts?
It's pretty fresh.
Okay, it's your loss.
I mean,
it sure is a shame
you don't got any a*mo
for that fresh g*n.
f*cking d*ck.
[people chattering]
Cheap piece of sh*t.
[paper rustling]
[knocking on door]
[Mr. Burtis] Greg?
Greg?
Greg,
can you open the door?
Greg.
Open the door, son.
What do you want, dad?
Your stepmom and I want to
talk to you downstairs.
Dad, we got
nothing to say, man.
Just open the door,
I want to speak
with you downstairs.
[sighs]
Open the door!
What do you
f*cking want?
We want to talk
with you downstairs.
I don't see what there is
to talk about.
I'm 17 years old.
I can do...
What the f*ck
is he doing here?
Greg, you're under arrest
for grand theft.
I didn't
steal a f*cking thing!
You took the jewelry.
-[Mrs. Burtis]
You get what you deserve, Greg!
-f*cking b*tch!
You put him up to this!
You need help!
[Greg]
God damn it!
You're quite young,
aren't you?
Yeah.
I, uh, sell those.
if you ever need one,
just let me know.
Okay.
Well, uh...
Could I get you something?
Maybe a coke or some juice?
An ashtray
would be nice, thanks.
Now look, nobody
smokes in this house.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Look, I got to
get going in a while.
Why don't we take care
of business, all right?
Business?
Yeah, you know, uh...
A jerk-off or...
whatever turns you on.
Could I ask you
a question?
Yeah.
When was the first time
you had sex?
I was about, uh, about 12.
Who was it with?
This chick at school.
When was the first time
you had sex with a man?
[birds chirping]
About 10 or 11, I guess.
So, you had sex with a guy
before you had
sex with a girl.
Yeah.
Who was it with?
My uncle.
Oh.
Look,
I know you're paying me,
but what is this crap?
Did you enjoy it?
Do you want to talk,
or what?
What if I were to ask you
if I could touch your face?
Would that be
all right?
Would you mind?
No, whatever.
This is a good place
to know about.
You can come in the afternoon,
get something to eat,
some nights you can get a bed
if it's not too crowded.
They got
a lot of rules, though.
I think
I broke most of them.
You got to sign in.
I can't stay, I got to
go to this interview.
They got me being
this community service
guinea pig.
Can I be your habitrail?
[laughs]
Yeah, we'll see.
[chattering]
[people chattering]
Hi, sorry I'm late.
[interviewer]
That's okay.
So, what's the topic today?
Well, what do you
want to talk about?
What? Are you
out of questions already?
Hmm.
Have you seen this one?
Yeah, I saw that.
You did? How about this one?
Heads or tails?
[interviewer giggles]
Heads.
[interviewer] Cheating.
[interviewer]
Yeah, we got that one.
[King]
I know,
I'll show you my tattoos.
Wow!
[interviewer laughs]
You like that?
[interviewer]
That's great.
I got one
on my right arm, too.
Mmm.
I did that myself,
left-handed.
Wow.
My dad did this one
when I was 14.
Really?
Do you still
keep in touch with him?
What happened?
I don't know. Um...
I don't know, he's probably
dead or something.
See, uh, tattoos
weren't his only thing.
He had a taste
for all kinds of needles.
[interviewer]
You're feeling
pretty good these days?
Yeah, I'm feeling
pretty good these days.
You got
a little cough, though.
Some days I feel good,
some days I don't,
like everybody else.
Yeah, actually I get along
with them really well.
I needed a short break
or something, I think.
Okay, you ready to go?
-Yeah.
-I see you met Stephanie.
-Come on.
-Thanks.
See you later.
f*gg*t.
[g*n fires]
[Little J.]
f*cking f*g.
f*ck.
[g*n firing]
So, what are
your drugs of choice?
[clears throat]
-Um, crystal.
-Hmm.
Pot sometimes.
Coke, if I can get it.
[interviewer] Mmm.
When did you, uh,
start using?
When I was about 10 or 11.
[interviewer]
It says here, uh...
the first time you ran away
you were nine.
You ran to your mother.
Why the hell did you do that?
I wanted
to live with her,
but her and I
don't get along so good.
Hmm.
What about your father,
you, uh, like him?
Yeah, he's all right.
But he got you arrested.
Yeah, well, life goes on.
Yeah, life goes on.
You know, I got to tell you,
you're... you're a very
lucky guy, you know that?
See, you've been given
a second chance here.
You could have just gone
straight to a lockup,
but you're in a rehab.
I got to be honest with you,
uh, I'm a little hesitant
to take you in.
See, you have this
habit of running away.
I mean, what's my guarantee
that you're not
gonna run from us, huh?
Well, I need help
with my problem.
Excuse me, miss,
can you spare some change?
All I want is
a little something to eat.
Skank!
How you doing, cr*pple?
Tommy, get your
stinking-a*s breath
out of my face.
Let's take a little ride.
Hey, Tommy,
get the f*ck off me.
Tommy,
Get the f*ck off me!
You're infringing on
my f*cking Civil Rights, man.
Shut the f*ck up.
Get off me. f*cking b*tch.
Get off of me, man.
Calm down.
Tommy, leave me
the f*ck alone, man!
I didn't
do sh*t to you, man!
Tommy, leave me
the f*ck alone!
Get off me!
Relax, as*h*le,
I'm just looking for King.
Have you seen him?
I think I did see King,
I think he went
down to the corner.
You know,
your grandma is down there
spit-shining dicks again.
There's a deal
on ba*ls today,
two for the price of one.
Hey, man,
get the f*ck off me!
I asked you a question.
Didn't you hear me?
Yeah, I f*cking heard you.
Yes, sir.
[both grunting]
Yes, sir, as*h*le.
Yes, sir, as*h*le.
No!
Just, "Yes, sir."
Yes, sir.
That's better.
Where do I find King?
Down at the hole.
The hole.
Nice hat.
You know, Tommy,
you're a punk b*tch!
Oh, yeah.
Almost forgot something.

You got to
always watch the cops.
They're gonna bust
you for loitering,
just so they can
find out who you are.
I always tell the kids
to stay off the streets
until after school's out,
it's easier.
What do you really feel

No, go ahead.
-[Heather] No, go.
-After you.
-[Heather]
No, go, you smell.
-No, you...
Come on,
you had to have known.
You stink.
[Black]
Take off the hat.
A pimp named
Tommy Ray white
was k*lled last night.
Oh, that's terrible.
No, not really,
but we do need
some information.
I don't know
anything about it.
I'm not saying you do,
but we hope your friend
King might.
We just want
to talk to him.
Just talk, that's all.
You think you might be
able to tell him that,
next time you see him?
Yeah, sure,
I can tell him that.
I mean,
if I see him, you know.
[Black]
You'll see him.
[Heather]
What's wrong?
Where the f*ck did
Little J. get a g*n?
I told him not
to f*ck with g*ns.
Oh, man. f*ck.
Here, let me help.
Yeah.
Jesus!
Yeah, he got me,
the b*stard.
[sighs]
I mean, what do
you think happened?
Do you think he died?
Maybe.
It's gonna be okay.
No, it's not okay.
It's not okay.
We're sitting in this motel
like nothing's wrong,
and Crasher's in
f*cking jail for all I know.
Where's Little J.?
It's not okay.
I'm sorry.
[sobbing]
It's not supposed to be
like this at all.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
[sniffling]
Oh, sh*t.
[Charles]
Have a seat up here.
I'm sorry,
I forgot.
I was just, uh...
What do you need?
Nothing.
[sighs]
You know,
I do have a spare bedroom
if I thought
I could trust you.
Well, I suppose you could
stay here a few days.
Would you like that?
That'd be great.

I know why
you left home.
Think you're

No.
No, really?
I bet you've known
a lot of girls like me.
No, I haven't.
So, tell me,
why did I leave home?
Man, forget about it.
No, really,
I'd like to know.
One or two reasons.
Either your father
molested you,
or your stepfather did.
You're a jerk.
Why else
would you be here?
That painting's

Yeah, it's freaky,

Do you skateboard?
[Little J.]
Yeah, well, I used to
when I lived in Boston.
How long you live there?
About, uh, 13 years,
then I moved to
New York for a while,
and then I came here.
Did you
like New York?
No.
Well, you're a long way
from Boston.
Yeah.
Why did you leave?
[snickers]
I broke my probation.
Yeah? What did you do?
as*ault and battery.
But that's bullshit,
I never should
have gotten it.
All I did was
hit this teacher
after she tried to hit me
and she never got in
trouble for it, fat b*tch.
If I saw her again,
I swear to god, I'd hit her.
[grunting]
Jesus Christ, man,

Ah, yeah.
Man, life is
a real b*tch.
How long since
you slept, anyway?
I don't know, four days?
You gotta sleep, man.
Ah, it's too hard, man.
It's too hard.
You want some vodka?
No, f*ck that.
I could do that all night,
that ain't gonna help.
So, what do you
want me to do about it?
You want some help?
Huh?
Yeah.
What?
Yeah, I do.
All right.
Only doing this
so you can sleep.

just get your shirt on.

Listen, you'll do
what I tell you to do,
when I tell you to do it.
I'm too high, man.
Listen.
Look, no more drugs.
Here, take my money.
This doesn't
mean anything to me.
I can't believe
a word you're saying.
On my honor.
I just need to know
you're gonna be there.
On my honor,
I'll be there.
I'm trusting you.
I promise.
All right.
Noon. Noon.
[panting]
-What? What am I...
-What's wrong?
I tell Greg...
Where are we gonna go?
What city?
We just gonna pick a city?
What's gonna change?
Maybe we'll find
a freeway underpass,
or a nice squat.
Maybe I'll just
get my sh*t together
and get a job!
I told Greg that
everything would be fine.
I have no right.
I have no right.
I can't promise anything.
No, you can't.
You can't promise
anything to anybody.
You mean the world
to them.
I just want them to see
how to look out for
themselves better.
They love you.
I...
Little J.,
are you home?
Little J.?
Where you been?
Are you okay?
Yeah. No, man.
What are...
f*ck! Man,
I didn't mean to sh**t him.
I f*cked
everything up for us.
I'm sorry, man.
I'm f*cking sorry. f*ck!
f*ck! f*ck!
Man, I'm f*cking sorry.
I didn't mean to
f*cking sh**t him, man.

You saved my life.

what are we gonna do?
Cool it.
J., what?
We're leaving.
We're splitting town.
You're gonna
come with us, okay?
Where? Where the f*ck
are we going, King?
-Listen to me.

do we have? No!

Listen.
What?
I'll take care of you.
Will you come with us?
Come on, J. Come on.
Come with us.
Yeah.

I don't know King.
You're a f*cking liar.
I never heard...
I don't know who King is.
You're a f*cking liar!
He's a friend of yours.
You're lying.
Where's King?
I ain't seen him.
Oh, yeah,
what were you running for?
What do you got on you?
I swear to God.
I ain't seen him
since he's been in jail.
What's that, huh?
You're a lowlife scumbag,
you know that?
All you had to do was share
a little information,
where King was.
Now you got
a real problem.
What do you want
