will you at least see how it fits?
you didn't see that one comin', did ya?
so whaddya think. i mean.  i could.  uh.  get a job. of some kind. i mean you've been tellin' me that for years, right?
'cause, louise. i don't want to lose you. and for some reason i get the feelin' you're about to split. permanently.
i'm the one.  i never made it work. i just.  it's not that i don't love you. it's not that. i just never thought i'd be thirty-six years old and i never thought.  i don't know what i thought. what do you want, darlin'. what do you want me to do.
are you just doin' this to punish me?
it does look good.
louise? i think you are so damn beautiful. i mean that. i always have.
don't worry darlin'. i'll say i never found you. i'll say anything you want. we'll find a way to get you out of this, whatever it is.
i'm choking on it.
honey? ummm.  do you want me to come with you?
you keep this!
are you happy, louise? i just want you to be happy.
i swear to god, she wouldn't tell me one thing! christ! you oughta try to find that kid that was with 'em.
just some young guy. around twenty years old. dark hair.
they said they'd picked him up along the way. he was a student. but he didn't look right. but he left when they got to the motel.
i know! i'd tell you if i knew! goddamn! i know something happened, or she wouldn't have left. i'm trying to remember everything! find that fucking kid. he probably knows something.
it's him.
you gotta be kiddin' me. they picked up a murderer?!
oh, great.
