Why did you bail me out of jail?
You just walked into jail, asked 'em who needed help?
You knowwhat, fuck you!
I never even heard of a tranny church lady.
Just drop me off in the next town.
So you don't think I have the right to belong to a church?
My body may be a work in progress,
but there is nothing wrong with my soul.
Jesus made me this way for a reason
so I could suffer and be reborn the way he was.
So you're cutting your dick off for Jesus?
You don't cut it off.
Just gonna have an inny instead of an outie.
Eww.
Hi. Is there any chance
that you could offer a fellow traveler a ride?
Absolutely.
We love helping strangers.
TOBY: Beef jerky?
Uh, no thanks.
I'm a level four vegan.
I don't eat anything that casts a shadow,
but a little token of my appreciation.
Absolutely.
I'm sorry, but the secondary smoke might render me unfit to drive.
She's cool, right?
She's not a she, she's got a dick.
Toby!
For now, at least.
You're a guy?
I'm a transsexual woman.
Wow!
I think transsexuality is a radically evolved state of being.
Hey, look.
Many societies throughout history
have honored and revered transgendered people--
The Zulu, the Yoruba.
The Native Americans called us two-spirit people.
Two spirits. That's cool.
Tell him what they're gonna do with your dick.
( Toby laughing ) Then the settlers came.
They tended to murder us on sight.
The way the white man treated the lndian was very deeply fucked up.
Yeah.
Are you sure you won't join us?
Come on.
We knowwhat you got.
You boys go ahead. Have fun.
( laughing and splashing )
So what do you do when you're not following the open road?
I'm a Peyote shaman.
How do you do that?
It involves consuming majestic amounts of peyote.
When you're done throwing up, you see things.
- What things? - Once I saw my own death.
Do you by any chance drown in a desert lake?
No. I die in a depressurization accident
on a moon colony.
I'll show you something.
It's in my bag.
Do you still think what you said back at Sammy's Wigwam?
What?
That I'm a freak.
You're not a freak.
You're just a liar.
( car starting )
Oh, shit!
My purse!
My hormones!
You dirty motherfucker!
( laughing )
My dog book was in that car.
Oh.
BREE: Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God.
My surgery.
I have to be in L.A. In two days. What are we going to do?
Is it soothing?
We could sell it.
How much could you get?
Oh, sweet.
Come on. Let's go.
Oh!
I don't care about the car.
I just need to get to Los Angeles as quickly as possible.
I'm driving a couple of good ponies
over to the sale in Show Low in the morning.
Could give you a ride that far.
Hey, Woodrow, can I get a burger for the young lady here?
Yep.
Isn't Calvin an unusual name for a Native American?
Not really.
My brothers names are Dwight, Lloyd, Daryl and Woodrow.
What's your last name?
Many Goats. It's my mother's clan name.
Oh. Matrilineal kinship system.
Is there a Mrs. Many Goats?
Oh, no. No, not yet.
I guess the right woman hasn't met me.
Oh! There you are.
Calvin, I'd like you to meet Toby.
- Toby, this is Calvin Many Coats. - How you doin', son?
I saved you half a hamburger.
Calvin's offered us a place to stay tonight
and a ride in the morning.
- lsn't that generous of him? - Yes.
Oh. Excuse me just a minute.
Yes, ma'am.
You-you already found a buyer?
At least now you don't have any more of that damn drug.
Mm, shower.
So...
Calvin, have you spent all your life in New Mexico?
Not yet.
Oh!
( both chuckling )
BREE: It's beautiful.
It's home.
( guitar plays softly )
Hi.
It's Mescal.
Oh.
Friend of mine brings it up from Oaxaca every year.
# Beautiful dreamer #
# Wake unto me #
# Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee #
# Sounds of the rude world #
# Heard in the day #
# Lulled by the moonlight have all passed away #
# Beautiful dreamer #
# Queen of my song #
# List while I woo thee with soft melody #
# Gone are the cares of life's busy throng #
# Beautiful dreamer awake unto me #
# Beautiful dreamer #
# Awake unto me #
You can sing.
Oh, just enough to keep the dogs
off the back porch, that's all.
Have some more.
Thank you.
( both chuckling )
( coughing )
That'll put hair on your chest.
I hope not.
Morning, sleepyhead.
Guess what.
Calvin's gonna drive us all the way to Phoenix.
Do my breasts seem smaller to you?
I've missed two doses of my pills.
You play with the body's hormonal balance,
and you're playing with fire.
( modulating voice ) Playing with fire.
When you wear your cowboy hat,
if you wear it forward like that, that means you're lookin' for trouble.
If you wear it back like that, it means you're not lookin' for trouble.
If you wear it off to the side,
it means you're out to impress the ladies.
How come an lndian wears a cowboy hat?
I guess because it keeps the sun out of my eyes
better than a headband and a couple of eagle feathers.
Calvin was telling me that his people are Navajo.
Only part Navajo.
My great-great-great great-grandfather was Zuni.
You got a Cherokee look about you.
Proud people, them Cherokee.
- Too young. - No, I'm not.
BREE: Yes, you are.
Here. Drink some water.
Now if you gentlemen will excuse me,
I have to... use the powder room.
Oh.
- Here. - Thank you.
- Allow me. - Thank you.
- ( foot hits truck ) - Oops!
Dude, there's things about her she's not tellin' you.
Well,
every woman has a right to a little mystery...dude.
You know she's a Jesus freak?
She's probably waitin' to convert you.
She can convert me any time she wants to.
Well, I wish I could drive you all the way to Los Angeles.
So do l.
Here, let me get that for you.
It's all right.
It doesn't work from the inside.
Sticks a bit.
Thank you.
Bree, there's some things about me you don't know--
Some things about my past.
We all have our secrets.
I been in jail more than once,
I'm about blind in one eye, and I got
a half a pound of shrapnel in my left leg.
But if you're ever in New Mexico,
I'd really like it if you give me a call.
Thank you, Calvin. I'll do that.
TOBY: Let's go.
Come here.
This used to belong to a real good friend of mine.
He was a champion in the all-lndian rodeo circuit.
Now you look like a warrior.
Ma'am.
Where are we?
My parents' house.
I thought you said your parents were dead.
Mmm. Wishful thinking.
Who's Sydney?
My baby sister. Go.
( rings doorbell )
May I help you?
Is Sydney here?
Sydney's out.
May I tell her who called?
I don't think so.
Don't look at me that way.
I'm not looking at you.
All right, all right.
Shit!
I mean darn.
No, I mean shit.
( rings doorbell )
May I help you, young lady?
Dad, it's me.
( gasps )
- ( pounding on door ) - Mom!
Dad?
( pounding on door )
Mom!
Get in here before the neighbors see you!
Jesus Christ, I can't even recognize you.
It's me, only different.
So you've done it.
It's all over.
I don't think that's any of your business.
( gasps ) Mom!
Thank God, Murray. He's still a boy.
My poor Stanley.
I can't look at you like this!
Geez, why do you always upset her like that?
( scoffs )
I tell you what.
I'm just gonna get something to eat and drink,
and then I'll go back and wait for Sydney outside.
Are you sure you're all right, Stanley?
Fabulous. Never been better.
- Stanley... - Bree.
Sabrina Claire Osbourne.
Look, we're gonna need more time with that.
Your mother and l both love you--
But we don't respect you.
I'll never understand why you're doing this to me.
I'm not doing anything to you.
I'm gender dysphoric. It's a genetic condition.
Don't try to blame your father and me for this.
You shouldn't use so much mayonnaise.
Are you trying to give yourself a heart attack?
Let me do that!
You knowwhat I see when I look at you?
I see a lost soul crying out for help.
This would never have happened if you had only come to church
when you were little,
instead of going off to that synagogue of your father's.
Mom, dad?
There's a scruffy-looking kid outside.
Holy shit!
Language, Sydney!
I don't fuckin' believe it!
Stanley.
Bree.
Well, Bree, I was hopin' you'd show up one of these days,
take some of the heat off me.
It's nice to see you, too.
If that kid out there's your boyfriend, I'm gonna slit my wrists.
I need to talk to you in private.
Oh, my God. He is!
You lucky son of a--
I mean, you lucky bitch.
Your boyfriend?!
That filthy teenage juvenile delinquent
who came to the door?
He happens to be a clean, healthy and respectable young man.
I don't want to hear any more about it.
How old is he?
Seventeen.
Oh, my God! Murray, he's underage.
Mom, he's my son.
You're shittin' me!
- Remember Emma Wilkins? - What are you saying?
Is Emma here, too?
She killed herself.
Jesus!
Kinehora.
Are you trying to tell me
that that boy who came to the door...
he's your grandson.
( quietly ) My grandson.
Oh, dear God.
He doesn't know anything, and I don't want him to.
Wait!
- Call me grandpa. - Shit!
Oh, you poor thing.
Get up off that filthy ground. Get up!
There could be all sorts of awful things down there.
Look at you.
What a handsome boy.
Do you knowwho I am?
- I'm your-- - A friend. Bree's mother.
He doesn't know about me, do you understand?
I don't want him to know about me. Agreed?
- You're not gonna say anything? - No.
Hi there.
I'm Sydney.
Hey. Toby.
- What do you say? - Toby.
Come on inside where there's nice air conditioning.
Come on, honey,
and I'll make you a nice plate of food.
Mm, defrosted to perfection.
Finish your vegetables.
He doesn't like broccoli.
Open up.
Lucky, no!
I swear, that dog is a sex maniac!
Just like your father.
At least he gets more action than I do.
My mom used to live in Phoenix before I was born.
Really? What a coincidence.
What did your name used to be when you were a guy?
Honey, why don't you go and watch TV
in the spare bedroom, hmm?
You can take the dog.
Come here. Come here, boy.
( barks quietly )
Stanley, what are you planning to do
with that poor boy?
First of all, I'm gonna make sure
he knows that he's encouraged and supported.
And that he's respected.
Maybe even...
well, at least that he's respected.
Behold the return of the Prodigal son.
Can we try to be nice to each other, please?
This is so bizarre.
I can still see Stanley in you,
but it's like you put yourself through a strainer
and got rid of all the boy pulp.
Planning a game of bridge with the girls?
Hmm.
Can I borrow $1,000?
You've gotta be kidding.
500?
250?
Do I hear a dollar and a half?
I have to account for every penny.
Eighteen months sober,
and they're still scared shitless I'm gonna relapse
and wind up passed out on the floor in some dive down on Van Buren.
God, those were the days.
My surgery's day after tomorrow.
I need air fare to get home.
You know, growin' up,
I always thought you were the lucky one.
Hmm.
Try this one.
Oh, my God.
It'll be like showgirls, um... on lce Capades.
I'm a transsexual, not a transvestite.
Yeah, but it will really freak Mom out.
Now you've lost all credibility.
Toby, don't break that, honey. It's very expensive.
Murray, I just hate the way you had Lucky's tail clipped.
Stands straight up just like a penis.
- Black and hairy. - Well, it does.
Not like any penis I've ever seen.
Me neither.
Toby!
Toby, come over here and let me fix your hair.
Come on.
Come on, honey.
Stay.
Sit.
Oh, you have such nice, thick hair.
Just like mine.
And those clothes are a great improvement.
They fit good, huh?
- They fit well. - Grammar police.
BREE: Good evening.
That dress looks perfectly ridiculous.
You're looking very handsome.
You look good, too.
Beauty is relative.
SYDNEY: For God's sake, Mom!
Oh, don't pick on me, not tonight. I can't take it.
I used to read pornography on the toilet,
and ever since, I have shitty sex.
( laughing ) You get it?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Toby, come and sit here next to me.
Here, take a picture.
Murray, scoot over. Come on, honey. Right here.
That's right, Toby honey.
Lean in close, honey. All right, everybody.
One, two, three.
We all look much happier than we really are.
Can you take one of the two of us?
I'll take it.
Nice to see a young man being so polite to his mother.
That's not his mother.
And, uh, a hamburger
for the young gentleman.
Enjoy your meal.
Toby, do you want to say grace?
Go ahead, honey. Don't be shy.
Uh, God, bless this restaurant and, uh...
these thy gifts that we're about to receive forever
and ever.
And thank you, Lord, for bringing Toby to us.
And please let us all stay together in health and spirits.
In Jesus Christ's name. Amen.
Shalom lsrael.
( choking )
Jesus!
Oh, Toby, honey,
don't take the lettuce out of your hamburger.
It's good for you.
Sydney, don't play with your food.
Sieg heil.
Can I borrow $1,000?
Toby, your hamburger's almost raw.
Let me send that back.
I can pay it back with interest.
What do you need the money for?
To get back to Los Angeles.
Look at your life.
You've never been able to stick to a decision.
Ten years of college, and not a single degree.
How do you know you won't change your mind about this, too?
Because I know.
Don't do this awful thing to yourself. Please.
I miss my son.
( sighs deeply )
Mom...
you never had a son.
How can you say such a thing? ( sobbing )
Now you know how I felt when you hired those private detectives.
We only tried to do the best for you.
Is that why you tried to have me committed?
You tried to kill yourself!
Because you tried to have me committed!
I don't know why you have to be so emotional.
I am not emotional!
God, my cycle's all out of whack.
You don't have cycles.
Hormones are hormones.
Yours and mine just happen to come in little purple pills.
Young man, may we get some doggie bags here, please?
Yes, ma'am.
I'm going to finish cooking his hamburger at home.
Murray, give me your wallet.
Here's $200.
We'll get the rest out of the safe.
There's one condition.
I want Toby to stay here with me.
Wouldn't you like that, honey?
You could have your own little apartment.
We'll remodel the guest house.
Do you like to play tennis?
We have eight new courts at the country club.
Murray and I just feel that you need a stable, loving family
with the means to give you every chance that you deserve.
Toby, here you are, baby.
Ha ha ha!
Half ltalian villa, half country club.
TOBY: Beauty is relative.
BREE: Not my relatives.
I wish just once they'd look at me and see me.
That's all.
Just really see me.
Why are they bein' so nice to me?
Mmm.
You think I oughta stay here?
Do you want to?
It's pretty nice.
I think you oughta do whatever you think is best for you.
But if you want, you can come and live with me.
I can't give you anything like this,
but I'm sure we could manage something.
Did you really try to kill yourself?
I swallowed half a bottle of Nembutal.
Then I panicked and called 91 1.
Maybe you're not the suicidal type.
Maybe.
Unless my mother is right, and I just can't stick to a decision.
- ( knocking on door ) - Come in.
Can't you sleep?
- Not really. - Do you need something?
A glass of milk?
No.
What is it?
I must look awful.
You look good.
You look well.
Don't worry.
What are you doin'?
What I'm good at.
No, no.
It's okay. I want to.
You'll like it, I promise.
I don't wanna like it. I don't want it at all.
Okay.
I'll marry you if you want.
I don't care how big your place is. I just wanna be with you.
I think you're sexy, Bree.
It's like...
Iike I see you.
Oh, God.
Oh, no. Put your clothes on.
I mean it. Right now. Stop it.
What's the matter?
Just...would you please just cover yourself up?!
- I am such a total shit. - No, you're not.
There's something I should've told you a long time ago.
You're going to hate me.
I'm not really...
exactly...
affiliated with a church.
I already figured that out.
What?
My mom and dad.
It's your mom...
and me.
Toby...
I'm so sorry.
I know I shouldn't have lied to you.
I know how disappointed you must be.
A one-bedroom apartment instead of a mansion,
and half-Jewish instead of half-lndian.
Toby.
Why don't we look on the bright side?
We've gotten to know each other--
Our strengths and weaknesses--
And we're still good friends, aren't we?
I'm so sorry!
I truly, really, I didn't mean to hurt you!
My mother's probably right. I'm a terrible influence.
Oh, please, this is a terrible time for me.
Toby, wait.
( smacks ) Oh!
You are not my father.
Oh, my God!
Oh, honey.
There, there.
He didn't mean it, honey.
He's just a little bit upset.
There now.
There, there.
( crying )
Toby's gone!
He took my purse...
and my bucking bronco statue.
What do you want to do, Sta--
Bree.
Yes.
WOMAN: He's 1 7, but you don't know
his date of birth?
What's your relationship to the missing boy?
I am his father.
Can't you put out an A.P.B. or something?
We'll do our best.
I'm sorry to say this, but chances are,
if he doesn't wanna be found,
he's gonna stay lost.
# It's okay #
# You don't have to be afraid #
# There's nothin' to worry about #
# 'Cause we got it made #
# It's just a simple matter of #
# Letting me into your love #
# If you let that feeling come over you #
# Then there's nothin' more that you can do #
# Just let it go #
# Let it go #
Hey.
This is Bree.
# If it's love you want #
# Hold out your arms #
Thank you very much.
# It's all right here #
# It's safe and warm #
# It's okay to feel good #
Everything is fine.
Your surgery was a complete success.
# Everything we have is fresh and new #
# I will open myself up to you #
# Like a rose #
Hello, my lady.
How are you feeling?
And don't say like a newwoman.
I...
feel like a medieval heretic
impaled on a very large and very thick...
stake...
with splinters.
Nice hat.
It was a present.
Bree, why do I get the feeling
that there's something not quite right?
Last week, you said
this was gonna be the happiest day of your life.
Last week was a long time ago.
Talk to me.
I fucked up.
It hurts.
Oh! Oh, my sweetie.
That's what hearts do.
It's okay.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
No, let it out.
This is good, Bree.
This is good.
( jukebox playing Spanish song )
Amo la comida mexicana.
Y amo Fernando.
Amo la comida mexicano.
Mexicana.
( bell rings )
School's gonna be closing in about 1 5 minutes.
Wayne, this is really hard.
Do you think you could give me a hand?
Sure. What subject?
Sex education.
WOMAN: All right, cut.
He needs help again.
Let's go, let's go.
Did you take your Viagra?
Yes, ma'am.
When's the last time you came?
Like two hours ago.
Christ, kid.
You've got to focus, okay? Can you focus?
We're behind schedule. We've gotta move.
Ow.
( knocking on door )
Toby.
Don't think that I'm fucking forgiving you,
because I'm not.
All right.
- I just came over to see if you did it. - Did what?
Got your dick turned inside out.
Yes.
Won't you come in?
Just for a little while?
- I have something for you. - What?
Please.
Your parents' house is a lot nicer.
My parents' house comes with my parents.
I thought you said we were Jewish.
Half-Jewish...
through my father, so it's technically the wrong half,
and you're only a quarter.
The wrong quarter.
I'm gonna finish up my degree.
I thought I'd take up teaching.
Maybe rent a house someplace.
Someplace with a yard.
What have you got for me?
Hang on a minute.
I've missed you.
Have a seat.
So how have you been?
I've been all right.
Would you care to divulge a few more details?
- I'm making a movie. - You are?
Told you I could.
They're already doin' the advertisement for it.
- Here. - Oh.
"Cowabunghole."
That's Dylan Reeves.
He's a big star.
Huh.
And there's you.
It's a very nice picture.
I like your hair.
If you want, I could get you a discount when it comes out.
Thank you. That's very considerate.
I got these clothes at the Beverly Center.
Beverly Hills.
Would you like a coke?
I'll take a beer.
All right.
Young man, if you think you can put your dirty tennis shoes
on my brand-new coffee table,
you're gonna have to think again.
# Well, I can't tell you where I'm goin' #
# I'm not sure of where I've been #
# But I know I must keep travelin' #
# Till my road comes to an end #
# I'm out here on my journey #
# Tryin' to make the most of it #
# I'm a puzzle, I must figure out #
# Where all my pieces fit #
# Like a poor wayfarin' stranger #
# That they speak about in song #
# I'm just a weary pilgrim #
# Tryin' to find what feels like home #
# Where that is no one can tell me #
# Am I doomed to ever roam #
# I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin' #
# I'm just travelin' on #
# Questions, I have many #
# Answers but a few #
# We're here to learn, the spirit burns #
# To know the greater truth #
# We've all been crucified #
# And they nailed Jesus to the tree #
# And when I'm born again #
# You're gonna see a change in me #
# God made me for a reason #
# And nothin' is in vain #
# Redemption comes in many shapes #
# With many kinds of pain #
# Oh, sweet Jesus, if you're listenin' #
# Keep me ever close to you #
# As I'm stumblin', tumblin', wanderin' #
# As I'm travelin' thru #
# I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin' #

# I'm just travelin' thru #
# Whoo whoo hoo hoo #
# Whoo whoo ooh #
# Ooh ooh ooh #
# Ooh ooh whoo #
# Oh, sometimes the road is rugged #
# And it's hard to travel on #
# But holdin' to each other #
# We don't have to walk alone #
# When everything is broken #
# We can mend it if we try #
# We can make a world of difference #
# If we want to, we can fly #
# Good-bye, little children #
# Good night, you handsome men #
# Farewell to all you ladies #
# And to all who knew me when #
# And I hope I see you down the road #
# You meant more than I knew #
# As I was travelin', travelin', travelin' #
# Travelin', travelin' thru #
# I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin' #
# I'm just travelin' #
# Driftin' like a floating boat #
# And roaming like the wind #
# Oh, give me some direction, Lord #
# Let me lean on you #
# As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin' thru #
# I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin' #
# I'm just travelin' thru #
