Some people don't realise this about themselves, but, uh, you don't have a good smell about you.
Homeless King I saw you rubbing the statue's head.
Uh-uh.
Homeless King Here. [Throws a cloth to Sam] Put that over your eyes and I'll take you where you're looking to go.
Who are you?
Homeless King I'm the Homeless King.
Really?
Homeless King Yeah.
Homeless King It's a coyote!
It's not gonna bite me, right?
Homeless King No. Coyotes are blessed creatures. [Walking past a coyote foraging through the contents of an overturned trash can] If you ever find yourself alone with a coyote, you don't run away. You follow it, see where it takes you. [Coyote runs off]
...
Homeless King People think we own this land, the streets, the yards, the hills, the houses and caves. Everything belongs to the coyotes. [Leading Sam down a cave tunnel] They're just letting us use it. [Takes off Sam's blindfold]
Where are we?
Homeless King You know I can't tell you that.
Sure. Of course.
Homeless King Okay. Well.
Uh, this way? [Homeless King nods head and closes door]
Hello. How are you? Uh-huh. [Chuckles] Okay. Good. Do you mind if I put you one video phone? A friend of yours is here, and he wants to see you. Great.
Hello?
Sarah, can you- can you hear me?
Yeah.
Really? You hardly know me.
Yeah, I know, uh...
Are you annoyed at me? Or angry?
Oh, do I sound angry? Oh. I just wanted to know what happened to you
Oh.
You really want to be down there?
Yeah.
You're gonna- you're gonna die down there. Um, is that what you want?
I'm gonna take this in the other room. Will you hang it up when I get in there?
Sure.
Their chamber was covered in a mountain of concrete. It can't be opened. There's no reason to upset that girl. Please be kind.
Got it!
Okay.
Do you think I made a mistake, coming down here?
May- maybe.
Well, there's no getting out now, so I may as well make the best of it
Yeah. Same here. [Scoffs]
So. How are you?
I'm not great.
Have you thought about getting a new dog?
No.
Might be good for you. A little unconditional love.
Yeah, I'll think about it.
Well, I better get going. I said I'd make dinner tonight. I have a million things to do.
Okay. Well, enjoy your dinner.
Take care.
Bye.
Last night, I had a vision of us making love beneath the earth, and then swimming together, naked in a dark pool. And then when it happens, our bodies dissolve into the light, and every beautiful thought we've ever had, forms around us and carries our souls through space, and into another world, and we're just laughing the whole time, because we know that nothing can ever be wrong again. [Sighs] I wish you were coming with us.
This isn't a world that anyone with any sense stays in or spends much time worrying about. You're living in a carnival. Throwing little plastic rings at oversized pop bottles, hoping to win a prize. What are you gonna win? A two-week vacation? A new car? A little money to retire on? It's all just a shitty sawdust-filled rabbit. The things you care about are useless where we're going. [Lies down with the rest of the brides and Sam attempts to get up only to partly succumb to the spiked tea and the Homeless King pops up from a hatch and walks towards the hut]
How did you know I was here?
Homeless King We smelled you.
Oh.
Oh, god. [Sighs] Ah, ****. [Realises Homeless King is before him and sighs] What happened to that man and those girls?
Homeless King They're waking up right now in their ascension chamber.
So what, now you're gonna kill me?
Homeless King Do you know what you did wrong?
No.
Homeless King We found these in your pocket. Why do you have dog biscuits in your pocket?
I used to- I used to like a girl that had a dog
Homeless King Hmm. When was that?
Like, a long time ago.
Homeless King Did she stop loving you?
Homeless King Why do you have dog biscuits in your pocket?!
'Cause I was waiting for her to take me back. I wanted to give the dog a treat and rub its ears, just the way I used to, and then everything would be good again.
Homeless King You can go now.
Really?
Homeless King Yeah.
You're not- you're not gonna kill me?
Homeless King I don't think so. We might. I'm not sure yet. But obviously, don't mention any of this to anyone.
I won't. Okay.
Homeless King Bye.
Bye.
