Rest Stop: Don't Look Back

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

You poor, poor young thing.

Running out of gasoline on such a hot day.

Yeah, that's my own fault, ma'am.

How's that?

Well, I got a little wasted last night.

I did a stupid thing.

-Well, I got shit-faced. -Ha-ha-ha.

I stole that truck.

Uh...

Went on a little joyride.

A drunk and a thief?

Now, Father. Let he who is without sin...

You need...

-Ha. -...a guiding hand.

You need a family.

You need...

...a thing called love.

I need a snapshot.

Oh, for chrissake.

No.

Scotty?

Scotty, come out here. Bring your camera.

Oh, God.

You leave Scotty alone.

Come on, baby, up. They didn't mean it.

Oh, my baby.

You don't mind, do you?

Well, actually, if, uh...

A memento.

Filthy.

Filthy.

Uh...

Say cheese.

Yes, Jesus loves me

Yes, Jesus loves me

Hey, settle down, boys.

Don't you yell at me.

-Sons-- -Don't yell at me.

Where's your mother at?

Oh, fuck.

Give me that old-time religion

Give me that old-time religion Give me that old-time religion

It's good enough for me

Oh, God. Oh! Oh, God.

-Oh, God. Honey, honey, help me. -You son of a...

-You filthy sinner. -Help. Help.

-Help, honey. Help. -You filthy sinner.

Oh, yeah. Get him.

You defiled my soul mate.

Give it to him, baby!

Yes.

-Fornicator. -Yes, yes, yes!

Oh, baby, do it for Jesus.

Please forgive me, Jesus.

Oh, baby, tell him.

We're just doing his will.

The Lord Jesus wants us to cleanse you.

To cast out the demons that have tainted your immortal soul.

You son of...

Sweet Iamb of God!

And if thy hand causeth thee to fall into sin...

...cut it off.

Yes, Jesus!

And if thine eye causeth thee to fall into sin...

...cut it out.

Smile for the camera.

-I'm feeling the spirit, Scotty. -So sweet.

Come on, boys.

Oh, come on, boys.

Here we go, boys.

Come on, pick it up.

Smile.

What...?

Oh, my God.

Check him out.

I love a man in a uniform.

You didn't come back from the fucking war to party with your parents, did you?

You know, I used to help him with his homework.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

I don't know. A lot can happen in 18 months.

Tommy, I know I keep saying this...

-Go ahead. -...but we're proud of you.

Thanks, Dad. Mom.

Don't worry, little brother.

I'll find you.

That's crazy. All right, I'll check you later, man.

This is sweet and shit, but none of this would be there--

People don't have a sense of history anymore.

Oh, hey. You take this.

Yo, Tom.

Welcome home, Captain Shock-And-Awe.

-Well, thanks, man. -Yeah.

So, uh, how was it?

Now, come on. No, tell me. What? Did you get shot at?

You kill somebody, eat their heart?

-What? -All the above.

Yeah.

Wow.

So you and Marilyn...

...together again?

Of course.

Jared, you don't know anything, do you?

About my little brother?

Oh, no, no. I mean, I know what everybody else does. Right?

Like, Jesse and Nicole...

...took off for Hollywood a year ago, and they haven't been heard from since.

If you don't get me out of here right now...

...I'm gonna go Columbine.

Oh.

I'm going tomorrow.

What? Where?

California.

I got 10 days' R and R. Time enough to get to Hollywood and back.

Tom...

...baby, they're dead.

We don't know that.

Nicole was my best friend.

She would've called me.

And your brother, he would've called you, right?

Think you're gonna find them? Cops couldn't, their parents couldn't.

They're not me.

Listen, Jesse is my little brother.

I always looked out for him.

If I wasn't overseas, I--

I'd have gone after him the minute I heard.

I want you to go with me.

I found him. Come on, guys.

Jeez, dude. I haven't been up this early since high school.

Well, it's good for you.

Anyway, I wanna make El Paso today, maybe even Las Cruces.

Yes, sir.

Oh, no.

Please. No, no, no.

No, Tom. He's so not coming with us.

I heard that.

Tom is my best friend and I just wanna help out.

You are not his best friend.

No, no. I said he's my best friend. I can't control who Tom likes.

-Like you, for instance. -I don't mind.

We got a lot of ground to cover.

We could use another vehicle, but that piece of shit?

Shh. She's gonna hear you.

Come on. She can make it.

I know that she can.

If she dies, you are not riding in this truck.

If she dies along the way, you can bury me with her.

Deal. Let's get out of here.

I talked to my cousin, Jake. He lives in I.A.

I think he was the last to hear from Jesse.

-Well, what'd he say? -Not much.

Jess was looking to crash at his place.

Told him he was on something called the Old Highway.

I looked on the map.

There's nothing called the Old Highway.

It's weird.

What the hell are you doing?

Enjoying myself.

What are you doing?

Jesus Christ, Marilyn, we'll get pulled over.

Don't be a dork.

I'm a corporal in the U.S. Army, sweetheart.

You know what could happen to me if I got arrested?

Why don't you wanna be over here with the other dinosaurs?

I don't like it with the other dinosaurs.

I don't like it at all. I'm gonna eat him if he's over here with me.

That's what I'm gonna do.

He's asleep.

It's about damn time.

The kid hasn't shut up since high school.

Oh, it's nice of him to help.

You know why he's really here, right?

Why?

Jared's had a hard-on for Nicole since, like, second grade.

He thinks if he finds her, he'll finally get laid.

-Oh, good goddamn luck. -I'm not kidding.

-Marilyn... -Hmm?

...are you, uh, glad I'm back?

What do you think?

It must have been hell for you.

Must have been so lonely.

You know, I'd understand if, uh, you partied some while I was gone.

I want you to know that.

Don't worry.

I was a good girl.

I went to this store in Dallas and bought a dildo.

I wrote your name on it with a marker.

-You didn't. -I did.

You wanna see it?

I packed it.

["AMAZING GRACE" PLAYING ON CAR STEREO]

-Who is this guy? -I don't know.

-What was that about? -I don't know.

But you get your ass back in bed. That's an order.

Hey, Nicole.

Big daddy's coming to rescue you.

Yeah.
