00:00I live halfway between here and there.
00:27In a place that was once something.
00:30I don't know what it is now.
00:37People stop here when they're tired, when they can't drive anymore.
00:44There's nothing to see so they don't stay longer than they have to.
00:57You could set this place on fire and it wouldn't change a thing.
01:04It would still be the same boring parade.
01:09Holiday shirts.
01:12Truck drivers.
01:14Caravanners.
01:16Old men who think it's funny to pull a coin from your ear.

02:08Do you know half the motel Bibles have pages missing?
02:10Don't seem very Christian to me, tearing pages out of the Bible.
02:17People use them for cigarettes.
02:19Hey.
02:20Rolling papers.
02:21Pages are thin so you can use them to roll cigarettes.

02:40I found them in the garage.
02:44They're for girls.
02:46They fit.

06:40I don't think so.
06:48I could ask my dad when he wakes up if you like.
06:54If you see him, you tell me, nobody else.
06:57Think you can do that?
