00:10:52as summer fades away
00:10:57and autumn comes along
00:11:01with a crackle
00:11:04of murmurs
00:11:07and apples
00:11:10Christ bitch, back for round two?
00:11:13Actually, Casey?
00:11:15I work here.
00:11:18Okay, well, I'm not training you.
00:11:21And that's, no, that's ridiculous.
00:11:24I'm refusing.
00:11:25You have to train me.
00:11:27Train yourself.
00:11:29I have a note for my mom about this.
00:11:41Popcorn.
00:11:43Coffee.
00:11:44Candy.
00:11:46Money.
00:11:48Keep your questions to the end of the tour.
00:11:51Here are the prices.
00:11:52Here's the count sheet.
00:11:53And here's the staff schedule.
00:11:54One of the regular girls just quit,
00:11:55so you get to have all of her shifts.
00:11:56Okay, good.
00:11:57Now, people are assholes.
00:12:01Okay, they just want to reach across this counter
00:12:03and cut that pretty little throat of yours.
00:12:05Okay, you just throw that attitude right back at them
00:12:07because this isn't Star Fox
00:12:08and we have no corporate image to maintain here.
00:12:11Okay?
00:12:12This is a minimum wage bitch job, bitch.
00:12:15Now, you got to take it from the boss, okay?
00:12:17But anybody else,
00:12:18they can just choke on their own butter.
00:12:20Understand?
00:12:21Yeah, I guess so.
00:12:22I hope so.
00:12:24Next movie doesn't start for half an hour.
00:12:26So, what do we do till then?
00:12:27Electric screwdrivers.
00:12:29Electric screwdrivers.
00:12:30Think fast.
00:12:32Two-thirds orange soda.
00:12:34One-third vodka.
00:12:35Oh, that's disgusting.
00:12:37That is progress, baby.
00:12:39Don't call me baby.
00:12:43Jenny, I'm gay.
00:12:45That gives me the right to be a misogynist.
00:12:47I'm pretty sure it doesn't.
00:12:49That's so weird because I'm pretty sure it does.
00:12:56Hallelujah.
00:13:00My other job involves drinking, too.
00:13:03And what's your other job?
00:13:05I'm a party promoter.
00:13:06Things are a little bit slow right now
00:13:10Everything in this city is just so jaded.
00:13:14You know I'm actually in debt because of my last one?
00:13:17What happened?
00:13:18We decided to fill a jacuzzi full of champagne.
00:13:22I thought it would have been a neat, you know, gimmick.
00:13:24Kind of classy.
00:13:28The second everybody got into it,
00:13:30they just started drinking the champagne.
00:13:32Nobody bought anything from the bar.
00:13:35The jacuzzi started getting empty.
00:13:38Then everybody started throwing up.
00:13:41That's pretty bad.
00:13:42No, that is real bad, Jenny.
00:13:46Real bad.
00:13:50Give it a try.
00:14:09Surely when the seam does break
00:14:13After all the illness takes
00:14:16I'll settle down
00:14:20I'll miss the treason
00:14:24What can I'm about to hear
00:14:27Thought providing room to spare
00:14:31Having the war
00:14:39Come on in, Casey.
00:14:45Okay, I checked the exits.
00:14:47Marquee lights turned off,
00:14:49and the snack bar was cleaned.
00:14:51Cool, thank you.
00:14:53Okay, I'm going to go home now.
00:14:54Okay, good night.
00:14:56Okay.
00:14:59Casey?
00:15:00What?
00:15:02Is there something you want to tell me?
00:15:04How cute you are.
00:15:05How cute you are?
00:15:06Jenny?
00:15:07Jenny, will you come in here for a second?
00:15:09Hey.
00:15:11What's up?
00:15:14I was just looking at the art in the hall.
00:15:18Very nice stuff.
00:15:21Anyways, I'm here now
00:15:24if you wanted to tell me something.
00:15:30Or maybe you don't want to tell me anything.
00:15:34You did call me in here though, so...
00:15:43I'm just going to go to the bathroom.
00:15:51Way to go.
00:15:55What have I done?
00:15:58Good work on the Marquee.
00:16:01Good night.
00:16:02Good night.
00:16:26Cheers.
00:16:28Oh my god.
00:16:30Is everybody here an alcoholic?
00:16:33I'd say that's fair.
00:16:38The electric screwdrivers are just starting to wear off.
00:16:44I think I've had enough liquor tonight.
00:16:46For those who sleep, go to sleep at night.
00:16:48For those who drink, get drunk at night.
00:16:51That's Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 7.
00:16:55When is the Bible trash drinking?
00:16:59Name me one instance.
00:17:08I can't think of one offhand.
00:17:11I see.
00:17:13Well, there it is.
00:17:18Cheers.
00:17:36It's getting hot in here.
00:17:40Actually, I'm kind of cold.
00:17:44Did you turn off the air conditioner?
00:17:47Damn it.
00:17:49That was...
00:17:51Damn it.
00:17:54I'm going to take this off anyway.
00:18:01I don't know.
00:18:04Maybe this is...
00:18:12Whatever you feel comfortable with.
00:18:18Right.
00:18:19Remember, Jesus didn't have a shirt on when he was on the cross.
00:18:24I wasn't sexual at all.
00:18:28True.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:34What the heck was that?
00:18:52I'm a Christian.
00:18:54Right, you're a Christian.
00:18:56We're both saving ourselves for marriage, right?
00:19:01But when someone special comes by.
00:19:07When, you know, a magical night unfolds.
00:19:11Like this.
00:19:13This isn't magical.
00:19:19I feel like you're trying to seduce me.
00:19:26Look, just feel this.
00:19:40The curtain.
00:19:43The curtain is going up.
00:19:44What?
00:19:46That's so odd.
00:19:48The controls are in the projection booth.
00:19:52Is someone watching us from up there?
00:19:58I feel like...
00:20:03I feel like I need to go back to your house and have a long shower.
00:20:09Me too.
00:20:11But not together.
00:20:13Separately.
00:20:14Separately.
00:20:20I feel like I should tell you something.
00:20:26I'm not really a virgin.
00:20:30You're not.
00:20:31And look, I haven't really been practicing Christianity since I was a kid.
00:20:39You fucking jerk.
00:20:41I'm sorry, okay?
00:20:42Hey!
00:20:43I'm sorry!
00:20:45Okay?
00:20:47Forgiveness!
00:20:49Okay.
00:21:14Casey, can you check the back door as well?
00:21:17We're opening in 20 minutes.
00:21:28So how was last night?
00:21:34What do you know about last night?
00:21:36Nothing.
00:21:37Just that when I left it seemed like you and Alan were going to stay for something a little romantic.
00:21:46Wow.
00:21:47We didn't stay long.
00:21:49Why not?
00:21:50Did he not last long?
00:21:52Get your mind out of the gutter.
00:21:54I was born there and I will die there.
00:21:56Good.
00:21:57I'll say hello from heaven.
00:21:59Oh, that's mean.
00:22:01I know.
00:22:03I don't know what's happening.
00:22:05Something about this cinema.
00:22:08God, I almost did something last night that I would have regretted for a long, long time.
00:22:16Only almost?
00:22:18What stopped you?
00:22:22I don't know.
00:22:38What are you doing here?
00:23:04I was sleeping.
00:23:06This is a business.
00:23:07This is private property.
00:23:10I liked the Jenny from last night better.
00:23:14You know.
00:23:16The one with the tank top on.
00:23:18The whole slutty Christian thing.
00:23:21That's all.
00:23:24I'm going.
00:23:26Wait a minute.
00:23:29What are you saying?
00:23:31I live here.
00:23:33Come on, it's not that weird.
00:23:36I came here a couple of days ago.
00:23:38It's temporary.
00:23:39I'm not going to be here for long.
00:23:41I just...
00:23:42Out of all of Toronto, this was the only place I could actually stay rent free.
00:23:46You can't be serious.
00:23:48It's huge.
00:23:50Like, it's closed most of the day.
00:23:52And they don't make enough money for a night watchman.
00:23:54How old are you?
00:23:56Sixteen.
00:23:58Old enough to live on the street.
00:24:04Listen.
00:24:05I just need a place to stay.
00:24:06Just for a little while.
00:24:07Until I raise enough money to go to British Columbia.
00:24:09I have a friend who has a farm there.
00:24:12Isn't there anybody in Ontario that you can stay with?
00:24:16I can take care of myself.
00:24:18Well, it doesn't really look that way from here.
00:24:22Jenny!
00:24:25Hi.
00:24:26Hi.
00:24:30Were you talking to someone out here?
00:24:32Yep.
00:24:33Just some boys on the street.
00:24:37Some boys on the street?
00:24:38Sure.
00:24:40Good night, boys!
00:24:45Um...
00:24:47Look, I know you're still mad at me.
00:24:50But listen, remember Matthew.
00:24:52Chapter six, verse twelve.
00:24:53Forgive those people that do wrong things to you.
00:24:55For if you do, Lord who is in heaven will forgive you.
00:24:58But if you do not forgive those people,
00:25:00the Lord will not forgive you.
00:25:03Did you look up Bible verses on the internet?
00:25:06No.
00:25:07No, no, no, no, no.
00:25:08Look.
00:25:09Whoa.
00:25:10See?
00:25:11Hard research.
00:25:13I swear, I'm really reading it.
00:25:17It's amazing.
00:25:18Well, you get some points for that.
00:25:21I guess.
00:25:25Anyway, I...
00:25:27I gotta go.
00:25:30See you soon.
00:25:31Okay?
00:25:51She was sweet
00:25:53I was blind
00:25:55She kissed me
00:25:57All I did it once
00:26:00She was so seductive
00:26:02Nothing I could do
00:26:05Now I face the consequence
00:26:07Breaking up with you
00:26:10I woke up
00:26:12On the floor
00:26:15I was done
00:26:17She wanted more
00:26:20My innocence corrupted
00:26:22Don't know where it went
00:26:24Now I can't remember
00:26:26How all your phones are suspended
00:26:38What?
00:26:39Meet me behind the screen.
00:26:42What did you just say?
00:26:43The 1145.
00:26:44We'd like to buy tickets.
00:26:45What's it about?
00:26:46It's not in the paper.
00:26:47It's not always in the paper.
00:26:48We're closed.
00:26:51People are all fucking crazy.
00:26:57Let's go to the metro.
00:27:00I'll meet you behind the screen, you little hellion.
00:27:03Stop stalking me.
00:27:05You shouldn't yell like that.
00:27:06Alan's going to hear you.
00:27:08Alan's gone home.
00:27:10Where's the popcorn guy?
00:27:11He's gone too.
00:27:13So we're alone?
00:27:14Yes.
00:27:15We should hang out then.
00:27:17Have you seen what's behind here?
00:27:18Alan's waiting for me at home.
00:27:20Tell him you went for a walk or something.
00:27:23Aren't you curious at all?
00:27:25How do you...
00:27:26I'll show you.
00:27:27Just gotta calm down.
00:27:38A door?
00:27:43Listen.
00:27:45I want to apologize.
00:27:47Obviously I shouldn't be leaving you dumb messages around the cinema.
00:27:51Especially while you're working.
00:27:53I lied to Alan for you.
00:27:57I turned the other cheek.
00:28:00I want to say I can survive here by myself at the cinema.
00:28:03You know, reading books, watching movies, but...
00:28:08It gets lonely.
00:28:13Did you tell me your name?
00:28:15Nathan Ark.
00:28:17I'm Jenny Stone.
00:28:21How long have you been living in the cinema for?
00:28:26Five days.
00:28:29How have you survived?
00:28:31Well, food. Let's start there.
00:28:34Money I don't have, obviously.
00:28:37So I have to make do with what I got.
00:28:39You know the storage room in the basement of the cinema?
00:28:42It can be opened by a laminated card jammed into the lock.
00:28:46I take a few chocolate bars, the least I need.
00:28:50I take them up to the snack bar and break them up,
00:28:53separating the most healthiest parts,
00:28:55like peanuts, coconuts, raisins.
00:28:58The rest I throw away.
00:29:03I also keep in shape, too.
00:29:05I have an exercise routine on the roof.
00:29:08I do laps, push-ups, and also weightlifting with film cans.
00:29:13Do you go out at all?
00:29:15No.
00:29:16Why not?
00:29:17It's out of the question.
00:29:18I can't be seen coming and going by the staff, the regulars,
00:29:21and especially your boyfriend.
00:29:23Besides, I had to get back in.
00:29:26I don't have the keys.
00:29:28And I can't buy any movie tickets.
00:29:32You said you were trying to save money, though, right?
00:29:37So how much do you have?
00:29:39A bit.
00:29:40How do you get it?
00:29:43Come with me. I'll take you around.
00:29:50Come on.
00:29:56There are two changers back here.
00:29:58This one, I store some junk in.
00:30:00The one across the hall there, I sleep in.
00:30:03Um, why are there changers in a movie theater?
00:30:08Well, in 1905, they opened as a vaudeville theater.
00:30:12Huh.
00:30:17This is pretty awful.
00:30:19Yeah, they haven't cleaned down here for a long time.
00:30:22I blame the staff.
00:30:25Sweeping weird tunnels for homeless teenagers isn't really a priority.
00:30:30Yeah, but...
00:30:34Anyways.
00:30:36See these vents?
00:30:38Right on top is where people sit for the movie.
00:30:40So all this stuff comes down, like popcorn, candy wrappers, and money.
00:30:46I don't see any money.
00:30:48Well, that's because yesterday I came over here and grabbed $38.60.
00:30:53I know it's not too much, but it's something.
00:30:57That's pathetic, actually.
00:31:02Well, I'm closer to buying a bus ticket to British Columbia than I was five days ago.
00:31:08What are you going to do now? Are you going to invest it?
00:31:14Sooner or later, Alan will find out what's going on here, and Lord knows what he'll do.
00:31:22Yeah.
00:31:24You better think of something else.
00:31:27Yeah.
00:31:33There's a suggestion box downstairs that no one ever uses.
00:31:41You can leave me messages in there if you want to hang out or say hi.
00:31:52Are you going to be alright in here?
00:31:55Yeah, I think so.
00:32:01Did you want to talk at all about what happened?
00:32:07Or why you're here?
00:32:12No, um, I don't.
00:32:19We've got to do something about that bed of yours.
00:32:23Yeah.
00:32:24It's pretty ridiculous.
00:32:31Good night, Nathan. God bless.
00:32:35Good night.
00:32:53I'm sorry.
00:32:55I'm sorry.
00:32:57I'm sorry.
00:32:59I'm sorry.
00:33:01I'm sorry.
00:33:03I'm sorry.
00:33:05I'm sorry.
00:33:07I'm sorry.
00:33:09I'm sorry.
00:33:11I'm sorry.
00:33:13I'm sorry.
00:33:15I'm sorry.
00:33:17I'm sorry.
00:33:19I'm sorry.
00:33:22Your dad plans to break us off, you heard it in his rants.
00:33:27I think we should blow this place before he gets the chance.
00:33:32I know what you're thinking, that on foot we won't get far.
00:33:36Well I went out and picked us up a car.
00:33:41Let's run away together, Heather.
00:33:44I think it's a pleasure we could hide.
00:33:46Let's run away together, Heather.
00:33:49I think it's a pleasure we could hide.
00:33:51Let's run away together, Heather.
00:34:19Let's run away together, Heather.
00:34:49You seem happy.
00:35:04Yeah, you know.
00:35:07Thanks.
00:35:08Did you sort out all your problems with the boss?
00:35:11I don't know.
00:35:12After that whole virgin thing, I just don't really trust him.
00:35:17What then? Have you been hitting the electric screwdrivers again?
00:35:20No, nothing like that.
00:35:23I don't know. What makes you Christians happy?
00:35:28Did you kill Muslims?
00:35:31That's not funny.
00:35:33Yeah, you're smiling.
00:35:36Can you tell me about these notes I found in the suggestion box?
00:35:41They have your name all over them.
00:35:45You're lending the customers lamps?
00:35:48You're buying them rice?
00:35:52Those are just suggestions.
00:35:55Just because they suggest I lend them lamps,
00:35:59doesn't mean I'm going to lend them a lamp.
00:36:05You're a crazy bitch!
00:36:07Shut up!
00:36:09He's 16, away from home, living in a dilapidated cinema,
00:36:13and you're helping him?
00:36:15Okay, that's sick.
00:36:17You need to send him away.
00:36:19He told me that he doesn't have anywhere else to go.
00:36:21It's either here or on the street.
00:36:24So he claims.
00:36:25Okay, he's probably just fighting with his parents.
00:36:28I was constantly fighting with my parents at that age.
00:36:32You work it out, you go home, back to high school.
00:36:35$500, that's it.
00:36:37That's all he needs and then he can get out to British Columbia
00:36:40and then he's gone.
00:36:43You have to meet him in order to understand.
00:36:46He is a really mature 16.
00:36:49Alan is a very immature 26.
00:36:53If he ever found out that you were...
00:36:57Alan's not going to find out.
00:37:00And Nathan is going to be long gone in no time.
00:37:03Forget Nathan for a second.
00:37:06Okay, what about you?
00:37:08Are you right now an accomplice to theft, to squatting,
00:37:12breaking and entering?
00:37:14Nathan bought a ticket to a movie.
00:37:17I mean, do we really make it clear that when the film ends,
00:37:21they have to leave?
00:37:23How old are you?
00:37:2621.
00:37:30Do you really think it's proper
00:37:32to be hanging out with 16-year-old boys?
00:37:35Really?
00:37:37I don't expect somebody like you
00:37:39to understand the meaning of compassion, Casey.
00:37:42I don't expect somebody like you
00:37:45to understand the meaning of jailbait, Jenny.
00:37:53Where are those little kids?
00:37:55I want to go on my tour.
00:38:01Yeah, I've been coming here a lot.
00:38:03Since, you know, second year.
00:38:06Hey.
00:38:08Take a seat.
00:38:18What's going on here?
00:38:20Oh, you know, just waiting for the 11.30.
00:38:23The movies are over.
00:38:25Are you cool? Have you been invited?
00:38:28Invited?
00:38:30I work here.
00:38:32Oh, you work here.
00:38:34Well, that's well and good and everything,
00:38:36but this is a happening,
00:38:38and if you don't know what's going down,
00:38:41I can't tell you...
00:38:43what's happening.
00:38:45Yeah, okay.
00:38:47Oh.
00:38:49Anyone's there?
00:38:51You get that drip yet?
00:38:53Give it time.
00:38:55Just, uh, hey, Jenny, just go out the door there,
00:38:58and I should take you the other way.
00:39:00Okay? Awesome. Thanks for coming.
00:39:04Hipsters.
00:39:06These are girls' pants.
00:39:08What is going on?
00:39:10Jenny, it's okay. Thanks.
00:39:12Do you like girls' pants?
00:39:14No.
00:39:15I'm selling tours.
00:39:16Tours?
00:39:17Yeah.
00:39:18Here.
00:39:19During the previews, I've been handing these out.
00:39:24Well, I see you found a willing demographic.
00:39:28Ethan, I don't know. This is kind of dangerous.
00:39:31I mean, you're selling tours to a building
00:39:33that you don't have any business to be in.
00:39:35Like, what if these people talk?
00:39:38Nah, they're sworn to secrecy.
00:39:40Besides, they think I'm the owner's wayward son.
00:39:43What was I doing before?
00:39:45Picking up pennies in the air duct?
00:39:47Look at this.
00:39:49I know you're hurting for cash,
00:39:51so just help me organize this kind of stuff,
00:39:53and I'll cut you in.
00:39:55Hey, everybody, single file.
00:39:57The 1130 is about to start.
00:40:03♪
00:40:34It's really late.
00:40:36I went on a walk.
00:40:39You know, you really shouldn't be walking
00:40:42around the city alone at night.
00:40:46And do you mind telling me what's going on with your clothes?
00:40:49You come home filthy every night.
00:40:51Smog.
00:40:54City air.
00:40:56Right.
00:40:57It gets really dirty.
00:40:59I've never seen smog do that.
00:41:01It gets really dirty.
00:41:03I've never seen smog do that before.
00:41:05Highways.
00:41:06Highways?
00:41:07They're dirty.
00:41:08Do you want to just maybe tell me
00:41:10why you're walking along highways
00:41:12in the middle of the night?
00:41:14The billboards.
00:41:15You're walking along highways at night
00:41:17to see billboards?
00:41:19We don't have, um, um, billboards
00:41:24in the country like you do here,
00:41:27and I just want to see them.
00:41:30Heck, I want to see all of them.
00:41:33Um, hey.
00:41:36Are you, are you still mad at me?
00:41:39Oh, no, no.
00:41:43I think you'll appreciate this.
00:41:45I'm on to the Ms.
00:41:47Watch, watch.
00:41:49♪
00:41:55Hi, is Christina Monroe there, please?
00:41:58Great, this is, this is Alan Holloway,
00:42:00manager of the Bloor Cinema.
00:42:03Yes, that old penetration guy.
00:42:06Yeah, with the broomstick.
00:42:08Yeah, that was me.
00:42:10Yeah, listen, listen.
00:42:12I'm throwing away my old address book
00:42:14and, with this number,
00:42:15and I want to tell you why.
00:42:17I'm a Christian now.
00:42:19That's right.
00:42:20And I realize that casual sex is behind me,
00:42:23and God permits sex within marriage,
00:42:25and that's the type of union
00:42:26I'll be striving for.
00:42:28So, hello?
00:42:31Hello?
00:42:34Most of them are doing that.
00:42:38It's a little righteous
00:42:40to be making phone calls like that.
00:42:44Well, happiness comes from the Lord.
00:42:48Right?
00:42:50That it does.
00:42:52Very good.
00:42:54Listen, I should probably just finish these calls.
00:42:59That's, that's okay.
00:43:01I've had a really long day,
00:43:03and I'm just gonna hit the couch.
00:43:07Sure, sure.
00:43:11Hey, I love you.
00:43:17Um, goodnight.
00:43:19I'll see you tomorrow.
00:43:20Yeah, okay.
00:43:24Bye.
00:43:33Hi, is Karen there, please?
00:43:54This seat is made for two people.
00:43:58Where's Jenny?
00:43:59She's on her way.
00:44:01I'm Casey King.
00:44:02You've probably seen me working the popcorn stand.
00:44:05Yeah, you probably have, yeah.
00:44:09So, she's told me quite a bit about you,
00:44:14and I want you to know that I'm looking out for her.
00:44:18All right, I do not approve of her taste in men.
00:44:21Alan?
00:44:22I do not approve of Alan.
00:44:24I do not approve of God.
00:44:28I most certainly do not approve of you.
00:44:34Hi, guys.
00:44:35Hey, Jenny.
00:44:38Thanks for coming.
00:44:43Should we get down to business?
00:44:45Let's do this.
00:44:48Okay, so the tours are going all right.
00:44:52They're bringing in a bit of money,
00:44:53but they're slow, and they're just too risky.
00:44:57You're working yourselves into a corner.
00:44:59Exactly.
00:45:01It's gonna be another two weeks
00:45:02before Nathan will have enough money to leave,
00:45:05and I don't want to be sleeping on Alan's couch
00:45:08for too much longer.
00:45:11Things are just getting kind of tense.
00:45:15I want to move out,
00:45:17but first I need to save some money, too.
00:45:20So, we were thinking if we could do something big,
00:45:25something apocalyptic,
00:45:29then we could make all the money that we need
00:45:31in just one night,
00:45:34and then split it between the three of us.
00:45:37We want to throw a party.
00:45:38We want to throw a party.

00:46:30Every once in a while.
00:46:32How many people were in the last show?
00:46:35Fifteen.
00:46:36Ooh, another blockbuster.
00:46:38Yeah, the matinees aren't doing very well.
00:46:40We have 850 seats we can fill.
00:46:44Why, he's a plan for us.
00:46:46He?
00:46:48As in, like, capital H?
00:46:51Yeah.
00:46:52That's right.
00:46:56You know, bad things happen to devout people, too, huh?
00:46:58Same as they happen to everybody else.
00:47:00Yeah, I used to feel the same way.
00:47:03You know, you just have to invite them to the party.
00:47:09To the party?
00:47:11You just need to invite him into your life, you know?
00:47:13You have to dine with him.
00:47:14You have to cry with him.
00:47:16You have to sleep with him.
00:47:17I mean, I hear Jesus likes it rough.
00:47:19I mean, whips and shit.
00:47:21Hey.
00:47:23Are you trying to make me angry?
00:47:25No.
00:47:27I'm sorry.
00:47:28You used to laugh at those jokes.
00:47:30I used to.
00:47:33Look.
00:47:35Just consider what I've said.
00:47:39Okay?
00:47:41Okay.
00:47:42Okay.
00:48:13It's rough.
00:48:14I mean, I don't know what to tell you.
00:48:18Do you want some meth?
00:48:20All right, I'm joking.
00:48:21This is just speed.
00:48:25All right, okay, no.
00:48:26It's smoking tobacco.
00:48:28Really?
00:48:30No, it's actually speed.
00:48:31You just seem really shocked.
00:48:33Really?
00:48:34Yeah.
00:48:35Really?
00:48:36Yeah.
00:48:37Really?
00:48:38Yeah.
00:48:39Really?
00:48:40Yeah.
00:48:41Really shocked.
00:48:42I'm going to put it away.
00:48:44I'm going to be honest with you.
00:48:46I found a lot of those posters when I was out.
00:48:50And you didn't tell me.
00:48:52Well, I mean, it seemed a little late to do anything about it.
00:48:57He's 14.
00:49:01I'm such an idiot.
00:49:04Ugh.
00:49:08This is the part where you tell me that I'm not an idiot, Casey.
00:49:10I've never been a very good liar.
00:49:12Everybody makes mistakes.
00:49:22What are you doing?
00:49:23I'm making a phone call.
00:49:25You can't do that, okay?
00:49:26The word's already out.
00:49:28The crew's hired.
00:49:29You...
00:49:30Hello?
00:49:31Hi.
00:49:32I'm calling about a missing person.
00:49:34You've got to put down the phone right now.
00:49:36Shh.
00:49:37Oh, my God.
00:49:38Put down the phone.
00:49:39Can you hold on a second?
00:49:41Put down the fucking phone right now.
00:49:42What's going on?
00:49:43Are they going to have a party tonight?
00:49:45Or a riot?
00:49:47There's no money in riots.
00:49:48There's only just fire and gangbanging and hate crimes.
00:49:51It's...
00:49:52Okay, relax.
00:49:53I know what I'm doing.
00:49:54Coming from an orthodox Christian, that makes me...
00:49:56Hi.
00:49:57I'm calling about a missing person.
00:50:00Yeah, I'd like to make an anonymous tip
00:50:02about missing person Nathan Ark.
00:50:05He'll be behind the screen at the Bloor Street Cinema
00:50:08tonight at 3 a.m.
00:50:10If...
00:50:11If you come any earlier, he'll be wise to you.
00:50:14That's all.
00:50:18I was just heartless.
00:50:21Everybody keeps lying to me.
00:50:23Even you, Casey.
00:50:25There...
00:50:26There are consequences.
00:50:28What are you wearing tonight?
00:50:30This.
00:50:34That?
00:50:35I'm in no mood.
00:50:37I don't care what I look like tonight.
00:50:39Shandy, we are hosting the party.
00:50:41And that is serious business.
00:50:44Besides, looking good is the best cure for a broken heart.
00:50:49Next to speed.
00:50:53The offer's still on the table.
00:50:54Come on, come on.
00:50:56I swear it is.
00:50:58I mean, when he left me.
00:51:00Yeah.
00:51:26The film ended about an hour ago.
00:51:28The band came in after that.
00:51:29They've been setting up since.
00:51:30They should be ready pretty soon.
00:51:31Listen, at around 2.30,
00:51:34I need you to stop selling tickets
00:51:36and come find me and give me all the money.
00:51:38All right?
00:51:39I need to give everybody their cut
00:51:40and I need to be out of here in a cab by 3.
00:51:43Sometimes it's better to plan these things out
00:51:46than let them surprise you.
00:51:48Yeah, I know.
00:51:49I know.
00:51:50I know.
00:51:51I know.
00:51:52I know.
00:51:53I know.
00:51:54I know.
00:51:55Did I surprise you?
00:52:00Did I miss anywhere?
00:52:01Yeah, on your left of the nipple.
00:52:04My left?
00:52:05Yeah, your left.
00:52:06Actually, move it under.
00:52:07Yeah, about there.
00:52:26We're just about to open.
00:52:28I thought I'd let you know.
00:52:30Jenny, look.
00:52:32You're staying in your room, right?
00:52:34You're keeping a low profile.
00:52:36That's the plan.
00:52:38No, no, no, no.
00:52:39We're going to dance.
00:52:41Nathan, we are not dancing.
00:52:44Jenny Stone.
00:52:46We're going to dance.
00:52:56You're killing me
00:52:58With your long blonde hair
00:53:01You're killing me
00:53:03With your long blonde hair
00:53:06You're killing me
00:53:08With your long blonde hair
00:53:11You're killing me
00:53:13With your cold stare
00:53:16Murder, murder
00:53:18You know you're killing me
00:53:19It's murder, murder
00:53:21Murder, murder
00:53:23You know you're killing me
00:53:24It's murder, murder
00:53:26I'm bleeding now
00:53:28It took me by surprise
00:53:31When I was stabbed
00:53:33By your dagger-like eyes
00:53:36Murder, murder
00:53:38You know you're killing me
00:53:39It's murder, murder
00:53:41Murder, murder
00:53:43You know you're killing me
00:53:44It's murder, murder
00:53:56Murder, murder
00:53:58You know you're killing me
00:53:59It's murder, murder
00:54:01Murder, murder
00:54:03You know you're killing me
00:54:04It's murder, murder
00:54:10Han?
00:54:16I can take your watch.
00:54:21Come here. Come.
00:54:24I'm sorry. You have to go to your room. Okay.
00:54:28My room?
00:54:29The police could come in here any minute.
00:54:31It's not safe.
00:54:32You're better off there.
00:54:34Yeah.
00:54:35Okay... Um, let's...
00:54:36Let's, let's stop for a minute.
00:54:43I'm not who you think I am, Jenny.
00:54:46I'm not as old as I said I was.
00:54:52I'm 14.
00:54:55I'm sorry.
00:54:58Where are you going?
00:55:03Come to the roof.
00:55:05Now!
00:55:06Come on.
00:55:10Five-0, five-0!
00:55:26This is the police.
00:55:29We're looking for Nathaniel Clark.
00:56:07Come on.
00:56:32Were you there?
00:56:33Huh, were you there?
00:56:36Was I where?
00:56:38The cinema. My cinema!
00:56:41Don't lie to me right now.
00:56:43I was with Casey. We went dancing at a gay bar. You can call him yourself.
00:56:48You know, that's almost as bad.
00:56:50I had no idea how I thought that I could trust you.
00:56:54First of all, I did not ask for a martini for breakfast.
00:56:59And secondly, I have no idea what happened at the cinema last night.
00:57:04How do you know something happened?
00:57:06Well, it's not every morning that you freak the fuck out on me.
00:57:11There was a party. A huge party.
00:57:15By who? You're the only one with a key.
00:57:18Somebody could copy keys. Somebody obviously copied the fucking keys.
00:57:22Okay? Listen, the police showed up. They shut down the party.
00:57:26They called the fucking owners. And now they've provoked my lease.
00:57:29That's $60,000.
00:57:31$1,000!
00:57:33Seriously?
00:57:34Yeah! That's exactly it. And I'm already behind on the rent.
00:57:37I can't pay those fines. Of course they're not going to fucking help me pay those fines.
00:57:41So they've hired a security guard. They're sitting on the property.
00:57:43And they've stopped all the screenings.
00:57:46I'm fucked!
00:57:48I'm sorry.
00:57:51I have to go.
00:57:53Shannon, please. Just tell me.
00:57:56Who was there last night?
00:57:59I have to go.
00:58:00I don't know who they were!
00:58:15I guess I'll make my living on the streets now, huh?
00:58:18Gay for pay.
00:58:21It's a rough trade, okay?
00:58:23Do you want to see my ass?
00:58:26What about your promotion career?
00:58:28Come on. If venues close down every time I throw a party,
00:58:32I will be out of clients pretty quick.
00:58:39I know what you're thinking. The answer is no.
00:58:42Definitely not.
00:58:44We have to get him his money.
00:58:47Tonight.
00:58:49It is a crime scene.
00:58:51And we are the criminals.
00:58:53Nathan is alone at the cinema,
00:58:56having a sleepover with the security guard.
00:58:59He's a clever guy.
00:59:01You know, I'm sure he'll be fine. He can wait to get his money.
00:59:05Have you forgotten about the police tip that we called in?
00:59:08We called in?
00:59:10If the police were going to go there last night, they will definitely be back tonight.
00:59:13All the more reason not to go.
00:59:17Do you realize how many laws we've broken in the last couple of weeks?
00:59:21I don't even want to think about it.
00:59:23It's serious. I don't want to go to jail.
00:59:26Maybe you'll survive there because you're burly, but I'm a prize.
00:59:30Come on.
00:59:32No.
00:59:40You must really care about him, huh?
00:59:43We're close enough.
00:59:46How close?
00:59:48I don't know.
00:59:50Too close?
00:59:52All we did was kiss.
00:59:55He's 14 years old!
00:59:57It sounds bad if you put it that way.
00:59:59How else can you put it?
01:00:01Okay, there's an old saying.
01:00:04You mess around with virgins, you'll get blood on your hand.
01:00:08That's gross.
01:00:10You made that up, didn't you?
01:00:12Yeah, I did.
01:00:13Yeah, you did.
01:00:19Are those the...
01:00:23They're Alan's spare set.
01:00:40I love you.
01:01:11Security! Stop right there!
01:01:16Jenny Stone?
01:01:19Woo-hoo!
01:01:21How did you two meet?
01:01:23Oh, we were rummaging through the stuff that was left behind after the raid.
01:01:28And somehow, this guy managed to talk me out of turning him in.
01:01:33Well, he's a charming fellow.
01:01:36He told me that you might be stopping by, too.
01:01:41How did you get into this line of work?
01:01:43Easy, pay's not bad.
01:01:451% action, 99% just waiting around.
01:01:52We just have to really keep this here on the DL, though,
01:01:56because if I get caught here tonight...
01:02:00Yeah, yeah, hey, I mean...
01:02:03Well, I think you've had enough there, kiddo.
01:02:17Okay, I'm gonna head upstairs and take a look around.
01:02:25And I'll make sure to give you a heads-up.
01:02:28Take a look around.
01:02:31And I'll make sure to keep an eye on the door, make sure nobody comes in.
01:02:36Thank you.
01:02:38And good luck with making it to Vancouver and all.
01:02:59The End
01:03:17What do you think they'll do when they find this place?
01:03:20They'll freak out.
01:03:23But I'll be long gone by then.
01:03:27I hope.
01:03:30I threw away all the things that would identify us.
01:03:34All the suggestion box notes, you know?
01:03:41Are you gonna keep anything from here?
01:03:45I'm not that... sentimental.
01:03:51Well, is giving yourself up completely out of the question?
01:03:57I mean, fuck it.
01:04:01You know me. I'll just run away again.
01:04:05Runaways end up on the street, sooner or later.
01:04:10That's the reality.
01:04:13Like, you are gonna have to fight.
01:04:17Like, you are gonna have to fight.
01:04:20Really, really hard to avoid that.
01:04:24I have to know.
01:04:28Why did you run away?
01:04:31What was happening at home that made you come here?
01:04:36I don't want to talk about it.
01:04:38I mean, you owe me an explanation.
01:04:42Why did you run away, Nathan?
01:04:45I'm not interested in Passion Place.
01:04:48Why did you run?
01:04:50Why did you run?
01:04:55I tried to sleep with my pastor.
01:05:01I tried to seduce him one night.
01:05:07I thought that he wanted me.
01:05:10He must have told a couple people because
01:05:14in a couple days, most of the town
01:05:18was calling me a slut behind my back.
01:05:26They said I was under the thumb of the devil.
01:05:33I needed a test of faith.
01:05:36And I came to the largest city in the country.
01:05:45I actually believed that I'd outrun it.
01:05:53But then the church that I was staying with, they found out.
01:05:58And I was so embarrassed.
01:06:06Did you find faith again?
01:06:14Yes.
01:06:44I'm sorry.
01:07:14I'm sorry.
01:07:44I'm sorry.
01:08:07Alan?
01:08:10Is that you?
01:08:11I've called the police you little slut.
01:08:13You're not going anywhere.
01:08:44Casey, what are you doing here?
01:08:47I've come to pick up my last paycheck.
01:08:50Why don't you get out of my way, you fucking faggot?
01:08:53You're killing me with your long blonde hair.
01:08:58You're killing me with your cold stare.
01:09:03Murder, murder, you know you're killing me.
01:09:06It's murder, murder, you know you're killing me.
01:09:09Murder, murder, you know you're killing me.
01:09:11It's murder, murder.
01:09:14Murder, murder, you know you're killing me.
01:09:16It's murder, murder.
01:09:18I'm bleeding out.
01:09:20It took me by surprise.
01:09:23When I got stabbed by a jagged-eyed goddess.
01:09:28Murder, murder, you know you're killing me.
01:09:31It's murder, murder.
01:09:33Murder, murder.
01:09:36Nathan!
01:09:39Oh, shit.
01:10:09Oh, shit.
01:10:20Oh!
01:10:22Oh!
01:10:38Nathan!
01:10:40There you are.
01:10:42What the hell was that?
01:10:44Threw a dummy off the balcony.
01:10:46I thought you jumped. I thought you were dead.
01:10:49That's sort of the point.
01:10:51Did Alan fall for it?
01:10:53Probably.
01:10:55He took off really quick.
01:11:02Are your clothes, um...
01:11:03On the dummy?
01:11:05Yeah.
01:11:09They're not gonna let you on the train like that.
01:11:14On the train?
01:11:22You...
01:11:24Better get dressed.
01:11:30You look great.
01:11:33Shut up.
01:11:38Check the front pocket.
01:11:41That...
01:11:43That should be enough to get you by for a couple weeks.
01:11:49It's all money from the party.
01:11:51It's not all of it.
01:11:54Casey kept his half.
01:11:56You need it more than I do.
01:11:59Come with me.
01:12:10I'm not running anymore.
01:12:24I'm gonna miss you.
01:12:59My satellite, they can see you inside, now that I know
01:13:29There's nowhere to hide
01:13:36I can't believe you came.
01:13:38Yeah, I know. I could be sleeping right now.
01:13:43Look, my parents are going to bail us out with the money we made from the party.
01:13:46Call it a business expense.
01:13:49When the promoting community hears about this, we're going to be legends.
01:13:55Where's Alvin?
01:14:00He's in a better place.
01:14:06The police will find him first.
01:14:08What are you doing?
01:14:34Does this mean that...
01:14:39I'm a woman now.
01:14:48God bless you, Jenny Stone.
01:14:55Open up! This is the police!
01:14:58Don't make me break this mother down!
01:15:08Police! Arrest that girl! She stole my heart!
01:15:39I can't, I can't take this, I've got to, I've got to, I
01:15:52Police! Arrest that girl! She stole my heart!
01:16:05I miss my dinner and can't even taste it.
01:16:09I know that it's dessert and I have to face it.
01:16:12She's rotting my brain, she's filled up every section.
01:16:15I look all around me and see her reflection.
01:16:34I can't, I can't take this, I've got to, I've got to, I
01:17:04Police! Arrest that girl! She stole my heart!
01:17:14I miss my dinner and can't even taste it.
01:17:17I know that it's dessert and I have to face it.
01:17:20She's rotting my brain, she's filled up every section.
01:17:23I can't, I can't take this, I've got to, I've got to, I've got to, I
01:17:30I'm speaking in tongues cause I've got my conviction.
01:17:33I try to be careful, she missed the connection.
01:17:36Whenever I see her, it cuts like a razor.
01:17:39And when you look down, yeah, there's blood on my blazer.
01:17:42I'm afraid for my jacket cause she never wears it.
01:17:45She's broken my heart, yeah, but I can't repair it.
01:18:00Thanks for watching!
