Tony Tran.

Britney Spears.

Gregory Hines.

Charles says an even better dancer is Lee Chae-yeon.

That K-Pop dancer?

All right,

well, whenever yo're naming great dancer

you've got to say Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Do you know who that is?

No...

You should.

My dad.

Thank you Lettie. But...

dancing behind Lady Gaga one summer

does't make you the greatest of all time

Do you think you could help me with footwork when we get to your cousi's?

Yeah, let's see, okay?

Damn it...

Greg, Greg. What's up, man?

Settle down Charles, settle down.

Hey thanks again for letting us crash, man...

Oh, that, that's Charles. You've met him before. He's like ten pounds.

You won't even know he's there.

Oh, come on, man. He's like

h's like family.

You have an allergy?

You grew up with a Rottweiler.

All right, look, what if we

we just stayed for, like, a few nights? Tha's it.

We're going to go on a little car camping adventure, okay?

I'll be fun.

Ohhhh!

You alright?

He's four years old.

His name is Charles.

Do you like my doggy?

Collette, we talked about this.

It's up to you whether or not you see your imaginary friends.

All right? I'll be back in a sec.

Okay?

Damn poison ivy...

Upon acquisition of this payment you agree to the eternal profession...

No.

Ba...

Are we poor?

No.

Hey, we have each other right?

That's all that matters.

Dylan says only poor people tape their shoes.

Hey, any kid would kill to have custom kicks like yours.

Can you say Ba Ba? - Say Ma Ma...

How about Ba Ba?

Say Ma Ma. Ma Ma. - Ba Ba...

Ma Ma.

I know you don't understand this,

but some people aren't meant to be paren

That's why she left.

But I promise I'll always be here, okay?

Le's go Collette!

What's the most important thing about family?

Being there.

Congratulations.

You did so good.

Thanks Ba.

Da's always there right?

What did we get? - We got spam musubi.

- Your favorite? - Yes. It even has the egg in it ?.

Oh no i's a video ?

Charles!

Yep... tha's my life.

Hey buddy.

Come here.

Charles.

Help! Collette!

What the fucks happening?

Until you have paid back eleven times what you have taken.

Any creature you touch will die.

To the world you will appear as.

Death.

Collette.

Ba!

Where were you?

Why are you wearing that?

I can't give you this rash, okay?

That's why I'm covered up.

Charles...

I know...

I just ?.

Just get in the car, please.

The worst part is when you get the name and place in your skin.

No. This is the worst part.

6000 people die every hour.

What's one more.

Don't think.

Act confident.

Like you know where the portal goes.

Every night these fucking tokens.

Damn...

I'm sorry, boy.

Token, please.

I just spent the last 4 hours walking.

What's the rush?

Once you get a name and place carved in the flesh,

you still have 24 hours to complete the assignment.

You do't understand I can't be late to this other job.

Well when the rest of your living days are indentured

you give up a certain amount of flexibility.

That's not what we said.

Pardon me. Until you buy your way out

with honest money, return to normal

and are free to frolic to and fro.

I'm not fucking around. 'm 10K from getting out.

You act as if I'm the one who put you in this predicament.

I'm on the assembly line just like you.

Token.

Yeah, I got another one.

Let it show that Daniel Lee delivered the token on time

at 1:42 a.m.

Dear Lettie,

I'm sorry it's taken so long.

But only a few more weeks until I get better.

Hug you soon, Ba.

Please hurry Ba.

Can't wait to see you,

Love, Collette.

P.S. We're all out of food.

Can you pick some up?

Hey. How come 've never seen you at school?

Why aren't you in school?

My dad's rich. I don't need to go to school.

Your dad can't be rich.

Is too. He makes money every night by helping people.

What's he do?

I don't know.

Please be working tonight, Sonny.

Oh, fuck. Stay cool.

Is Sonny here?

Oh hell no.

You know we packing, right?

Hey, Sonny knows who I am.

I'm just here to pick up some food.

Sonny's my friend. Look...

9-1-1. Wha's your emergency?

Shit, all right, 'll leave.

Hey!

Tell Sonny 'm good!

Daniel?

I'm Macey.

Child Protective Services.

Wha's this?

I's a skin condition.

What kind?

Allergy to light. Wha's this about?

Is there a reason why your daughter's not in school?

I pulled her out for home school ?.

School wasn't built for big imaginations

What do you want?

We received a call.

It's probably nothing, but we are required to follow up.

Is now a good time? - No.

What about next Tuesday or Wednesday?

How about this. I'll just leave you my c

and then I'll just stop by at a future d

and if you're available, then great.

Thank you.

'm sorry Lettie but you can't let anyone see you, ok?

I know it feels like I've been away.

And I know you've been having a hard time sleeping.

Maybe a story can help you fall asleep.

There was once a country man

who possessed the most wonderful goose you can imagine. For every day,

when he visited the nest, the goose had laid a beautiful, glittering golden egg.

But it was not long before he grew impatient with the goose

because she gave him only a single golden egg a day.

He was not getting rich fast enough.

Token.

Excuse me?

Don't toy with your existence, boy.

Is it true if I don't turn in my token i 24 hours, I turn back to normal again?

Yes. Incorrect or incomplete

assignments result in revocation of powers and swift winnowing.

It was all on the card.

Yeah. Okay. I know that.
