Amber : Man, this
place is great.
Pete : Mmm. Yeah,
you are only allowed to come here with me. So,
are you on the pill?
Amber : Um, no.
Pete : No? Do you
have a boyfriend?
Amber : Not
really. I'm kinda in
between.
Pete : Mm-hmm.
Well, they are circling you like sharks. Right?
I'm gonna come back here and find that you got,
like a little baby fry cook in the oven.
Amber : Ah. You
know what?
Pete : What?
Amber : I
remember you taking me to Mickey’s when I was a
kid.
Pete : No, did I?
Amber & Pete :
Yes.
Pete : I was
being lazy. I apologize. Now I hate everything
about the place.
Amber : Mom said
it was a big deal when the first Mickey’s opened
here.
Pete : It was
tremendous. It was. I mean, you know - Cody was
on the map. The, the first one didn't bother me.
It was just the 400th that started to, you know,
get under my skin.
Amber : Well, I
need the money. I really do.
Pete : Yeah?
There's no other jobs here, right? You tried
A.S.P.C.A.
You tried the park services. You tried day care.
Why? Nobody around here needs their kids to be
taken care of?
Amber : It was
the first job I could find.
Pete : Mm-hmm.
Amber : I mean, a
friend of mine worked there. What do you want to
hear?
Pete : I'm not
criticizing you, all right? I think you are
great. I just wanna know your timeline for
gettin' outta here.
Amber : I wanna
go to college.
Pete : Good.
Amber : I'm
thinking Oregon or Montana.
Pete : What ya
gonna study?
Amber : I don't
know. I wanna- I wanna write. I like
photography. But I think I wanna study science,
aeronautical engineering.
Pete :
Aeronautical engineering?
Amber : Yeah. I
mean, if I could do anything in the world, I'd
be an astronaut.
Pete : All right,
well, fucking-A,
do it.
Amber : Okay.
Pete : But you
need to get outta here to do that.
Amber : Was it
hard leaving Cody back when you were a teenager?
Pete : No, not
for me. Your mom, though, that was a different
story.
Amber : I was on
the way. Kinda cuts
down on your options. |
