Plot: In 1989, after moving from Michigan to Daytona Beach, Florida, and on the verge of committing suicide, street prostitute Aileen “Lee” Wuornos meets another woman named Selby Wall in a gay bar. Although she is initially hostile and declares that she is not a lesbian, Aileen talks to Selby while drinking beer. Selby takes to Aileen almost immediately and invites her to spend the night with her. The two women return to the house where Selby is staying after being temporarily exiled by her religious parents following the accusation from another girl that Selby tried to kiss her. They later agree to meet at a roller skating rink, and they kiss for the first time. Aileen and Selby fall in love and agree to meet for another date the following evening.
Aileen begins prostituting the following day to make money to take Selby on the date. Towards the end of the day, she is approached by a client, Vincent Corey, who drives them to a wooded area. Aileen becomes uncomfortable by Vincent’s bizarre demeanor and avowed hatred for prostitutes. As the two begin arguing, Vincent knocks Aileen unconscious. Meanwhile, Selby waits for Aileen but leaves after she does not show up. Aileen regains consciousness and finds herself tied to the steering wheel, as Vincent brutally rapes and beats her. Aileen manages to free her hands and shoot him to death with a gun from her purse. She disposes of his body, steals his car and decides to quit prostitution. Later that night, she visits Selby at the house and asks her to run away with her. Selby agrees after Aileen confesses her love and promises to support her. The two rent a motel and try to start a life together. Aileen decides to find qualified work, but because of her lack of education and work experience, she is rejected by potential employers. Desperate to keep her and Selby financially afloat, Aileen returns to prostitution. She kills her clients and steals their money and cars, each killed in a more brutal way than the last, as she is convinced that they are all rapists and predators. She spares one man out of pity when he admits he has never had sex with a prostitute. While driving one of the stolen cars, Selby crashes into the front yard of a house. The homeowners attempt to call the police, but Aileen manages to drive the car away and dispose of it.
Selby confronts Aileen about the owner of the car, and Aileen confesses to the murders but justifies her actions by claiming she had only been protecting herself. As money runs out, Aileen tries to find another client. She is picked up by a man who genuinely offers her shelter and assistance. Despite her hesitancy, Aileen kills him. Selby sees composite sketches of her and Aileen on the news and returns to Ohio on a charter bus. Aileen is approached at the biker bar she frequents by two men, who unbeknownst to her, are undercover police officers. Thomas, whom Aileen always referred to as the only friend she had, infers the men’s intentions and offers to drive her off. Aileen declines, no longer trusting herself with the well-being of anyone dear to her. The two men eventually lure Aileen out of the bar, and she is arrested by the police. Aileen speaks to Selby one last time while in jail. Selby reveals some incriminating information over the telephone and Aileen realizes that the police are listening in. To protect Selby, Aileen admits that she committed the murders alone. During Aileen’s trial, Selby testifies against her, with Aileen’s loving consent. Aileen is convicted of the murders and sentenced to death. On October 9, 2002, Aileen is executed by lethal injection.

Monster (2003) | Transcript
(woman) I always wanted to be in the movies. When I was little I thought, for sure, one day I could be a big, big, star. Or maybe just beautiful. Beautiful and rich like the women on TV. Yeah. I had a lot of dreams. And I guess you could call me a real romantic. Because I truly believed that one day they’d come true. So I dreamed about it for hours. As the years went by, I learned to stop sharing this with people. They said I was dreaming, but back then I believed it wholeheartedly. So, whenever I was down, I would just escape info my mind to my other life where I was someone else. It made be happy to think that all these people just didn’t know yet who I was gonna be. But one day they’d all see. I head that Marilyn Monroe was discovered in a soda shop, and I thought for sure it could be like that. So I started going out really young, and I was always secretly looking for who was gonna discover me. Was it this guy? Or maybe this one. You never knew. But even if they couldn’t take me all the way like Marilyn, they would somehow believe in me just enough. They would see me for what I could be and think I was beautiful. [no audio] Like a diamond in the rough. They would take me away to my new life in my new world where everything would be different. [no audio] Yeah. I lived that way for a long, long time in my head, dreaming like that. It was nice. But one day it just stopped. By the time I met Selby Wall, shit, all I wanted was a beer.
Then I looked down, and I’m busting right out of my top.
[laughter] I’m gonna find my own seat.
[laughter] How you doing?
Good.
Anyone sitting here?
No.
Whoa-ho-ho. Look what the cat drug in. She must be right up your alley.
Man, you got a towel?
Ma’am, our services are for patrons only.
Give me a beer whatever is cheapest.
So, what is this? Like a gay place or what?
Yeah.
Whatever, man.
Hey.
Hey!
Can I– can I buy you that drink?
I got my own money.
I’ll have a pitch of whatever she’s having.
Look, I’m not gay, all right?
Oh.
That makes sense. So what are you doing here then?
My truck broke down and, uhI got a pressure cleaning business.
What’s pressure cleaning?
You know, steam clean.
Upholstery carpets, you know, shit like that.
I’m just getting out of the rain.
My name is Selby.
Lee.
You owe me change.
[whispers]
Fuck.
I’m out of here.
Are you sure?
Take your hands off me, you dumb dyke.
I’m not gonna fuck you for a fucking beer. Stop wasting your fucking time.
I wasn’t trying to fuck you.
I just wanted to talk to you.
I thought that if I bought some beer, maybe you’d talk to me.
I’m just trying to have one decent night out, you know.
Just talk to someone before I have to go back to my parent’s closet.
I-I’m sorry.
You don’t have to stay.
Get out of my fucking nose. I’m just trying to be straight with you.
Are you really a steam cleaner?
No, I’m not.
That’s good.
It sounds real boring. No, man. Actually it’s a real good job.
Pressure cleaning.
Do youdo you want some?
Don’t waste that. Come on, one for you, one for me. Lucky number ten. Oh, come on, don’t let me down now. You ready?
OneNo, you don’t get to do that. Stop that shit. I don’t fucking trust you.
You ready?
One, two, go!
Shit, just taken.
You do suck.
You’re a sore winner.
Yeah. Winner though, man.
Oh, man, it’s all on my cast.
Yeah, you spilled some good shit there. I’d be licking it like a dog.
We need two more.
What’s that bullshit?
What time is it?
(barman) The bar is closed.
Yeah?
Why don’t you take that stick out of your ass? Now it’d be a good time.
Now that the bar is closed?
[laughing]
What was that?
That was such a jerk.
We had a good time, though.
Yeah. Yeah, it was fun.
Look, I’m sorry I called you dumb dyke.
Oh.
That wasn’t nice of me.
I don’t care.
Thanks for the drinks and the smoke.
Oh, no, no problem.
I’ll see you around, okay?
Do you wanna stay with me? I didn’t mean–
You don’t have to do anything. I just–
Shit, I know.
Yeah, fuck it.
Yeah?
Yeah, my truck’s broken down. Shit.
All right.
It’s over here.
[laughs]
(Lee) All I wanted was a beer. But the day I met Selby, I’d spent most of the afternoon sitting in the rain about to kill myself. So you can understand. I was flexible. I mean, everybody’s gotta have faith in something. For me, for me all I had left was love. And I was getting pretty sure I was never gonna love a man again, so I was gonna do it. And the only reason I did it was a five-dollar bill. I knew I’d probably give some asshole a blow job for it, so it really started to piss me off that if I killed myself without spending it, well then I basically sucked him off for free. So I made a deal. I said, “God, I gotta spend this five bucks. “But when it’s gone, so am I. So If you’ve got something for me in this life, you better bring it on.” And there she was.
Oh. Just some friends of my parents that I am staying with.
Do wanna take a shower or anything?
Yeah.
[door opens] Goodnight.
Goodnight.
I-I can’t believe you’re here.
Me, neither.
Can I touch your face?
Sure.
[whispers]
You’re so pretty.
[knocking at the door] Selby, honey.
God, Donna.
Donna, I’m sorry.
Just a sec.
I’m sorry. I’m supposed to be ready for church.
Where’s my shirt?
Oh, what the heck.
Hey, look at this.
She gets here at 5:00 in the morning and she ain’t even dressed, yet.
You get your Bible?
I’m sorry about that.
No, that’s all right.
Hey, thanks for letting me crash.
And that was nice.
So, when are you leaving?
Tuesday.
But, you know, I’m gonna be hanging out at, um, the Moonlight probably around five.
It’s about two blocks up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe I’ll swing by.
All right.
All right.
You have fun at church, okay?
Okay.
Who was that person?
She’s just a friend I made.
Honey, I think she was a street person.
No, did you, did you check your stuff?
Because she might’ve stolen somethin’.
No, no.
I checked and she didn’t, she didn’t take anything.
Listen, honey.
You cannot bring people like that here. What if Charles had seen her?
I’m sorry.
A person like that, no, ma’am.
We have no business with people like that.
(man) Hey.
Hey, Tom, sorry about the rent, man. I’m just getting some stuff.
You’ll give it to me when you get it.
Cool.
Want some sandwich?
Ham don’t do it for me.
Thanks, man.
I’ll blow you if you want.
It’s all right.
You’ll pay me when you get it. How are you doing?
I’m good. I’m good really. I made a friend.
Really?
Good for you.
I hope it’s not some asshole like the last guy. He almost trampled you to death.
No, she’s, he’s, uh, real nice, you know.
I think.
Thanks, man.
[banging at the door]
Hang on a sec.
[woman banging at door] Ma’am?
Hang the fuck on.
Piece of shit.
You look good. Yeah.
Thanks.
[disco music] You can’t go inside.
I’m gonna give you the $5. I gotta get to the diner.
You can’t go inside.
Hi.
Hey, I got it.
I got it.
Thanks.
[whispers]
Let’s go.
So, you came.
Yeah, I was around.
I thought I’d swing by.
So, where is your friends?
Well, I–
You’re mean.
No, man. I’m here, too, you know.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah.
Are you a prostitute?
Yeah.
Why, man?
I don’t know.
People, like, pay to be with you.
It’s wild.
Men must just line up to be with a girl like you.
I guess. I don’t know. Not really, no.
Yeah, right.
What do you do to them?
All kinds of things, you know. Whatever they want.
How do you know what they want?
They ain’t shy to tell you.
Really?
Men are really easy to read.
How about that guy?
Finger up his ass. Probably likes to be hit at the same time.
How about him?
Oh, he’s gay.
No way!
Yeah, man. Look at him. He tries too hard.
Oh, man, you see that little fucker over there?
Well, he, he’s straight up S&M.
That’s Trevor. That’s the son of the people I’m staying with.
I’m sorry.
I don’t care about that.
I didn’t realize he was gonna be here.
So, what’s Ohio like?
It sucks.
This girl in my church, she told everyone that I tried to kiss her.
So my parents basically disowned me.
I decided to come down here and try to figure some things out.
And this happened before I could jet a job, so that’s that.
How long does it have to stay on?
Not too much longer.
But my dad had to pay my medical bills, so I made a deal with him that I would go back.
Which, you know, it-it’s probably for the best ’cause maybe it’ll work.
Maybe, uh, he will be able to save my soul and all that.
Well, I bet you 20 I beat your ass in a race right now.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah. Me and you are gonna hit the floor right now.
No, I’m serious.
I can’t skate.
You gotta help me.
I know, I got you. Come on.
There you got it.
You better not let me break my other arm.
See? You can do this.
You’re very good, man. Do you think you can do it by yourself?
Okay.
Let us feel the music.
Feel the music.
[What You Need by INXS]
Feel that music.
Oh, man.
You having fun?
Yeah.
Good.
Hey, gotta turn.
[chuckles]
(host) And now it’s time for rexing couples. [music changes] Oh, man, I love this song.
Oh, I love it, too.
What are rexing couples?
It’s like that.
I can’t do that. Yeah, you can. No, no, no.
Come one, come with me.
Trevor.
So who cares about him?
Come on.
Are you ready?
There you go.
I got you.
You let me guide, all right?
So we don’t hit anymore.

Yeah.

Sorry, okay?
Shit. I got in a fight.
It must’ve been a really long fight.
[whispers] I really fuckin’ meant to be there.
I’m okay.
I did. I just–
It’s not my fault.

Are you okay?
Yeah.
I’m just–
You know,

But it’s cool now.
It’s cool.
But I was thinking.
You know, I need you to stay a little longer. Huh?
I can’t.
Why not?
I told you.
I promised my dad. He’s your dad, right?
Will he understand?
I’m sure he can save your soul a week from now, right?
No, no. And even if I could, I can’t break.
I need money.
I now, I now.
Look. Look.
See? I told you.
No problem, right?
I was gonna use it to take you out tonight, but, uh–
Look, man, that’s enough to, to rent a hotel for a whole week.
We can party, hang out. Whatever you wanna do, you know?
See?
Look. Maybe I could come back.
No. No, you can’t come back.
‘Cause I’ll be gone.
Shit.
Listen to me.
Come here.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Give me a week.
If you wanna go later, I’ll buy you a ticket, okay?
I’ll take you there myself.
Just give me a week.
You’ll never meet someone like me again.

Okay.

Oh, my God, Selby. We thought you were dead.

You stay right there.
John. Yes, she’s back.
She’s here! Right–
Okay, hang on. Hang on.
Talk to your dad.
Hello?
Um, I, uh, I found a roommate and–
Selby, I don’t even wanna hear of this, you understand me? Get yourself on a bus tonight.
I can’t, Dad.
I’m not even staying here any more, so–
What did you say?
What did you say to me?
I-I just came by to pick up some stuff.
I’m not even staying at Donna’s any more.
You are so damn naive. What do you think this woman wants with you, huh?
Do you think this prostitute, drugged person, your little roommate doesn’t see some sickness in you?
Okay. Okay. I’m an adult now, so I’m gonna stay, okay?
And, um, I gotta go.
I gotta go.
Take the phone!
What are you doing? This woman, she’s not even–
She’s not even gay.
Selby, she’s a street hooker.
She’s just using you.
I quit.
What?
What are your bags doing here?
I’m staying.
Holy shit, girl! You just made my day.
How did you get them, huh?
I took a cab.
But Lee, you can take care of me, right?
‘Cause I’ve spent all the money.
Shit, you know what?
It don’t even matter.
What did you say?
You quit?
Hooking.
I quit hooking.
Why?
Why? ‘Cause it’s shit. It’s time, man. I fucking hate it.
I thought you said it was not bad.
It is, you know. Not always, but
It’s not the point.
I got you now.
I got everything going for me.
So I’m gonna do it up royal.
This time I’m doing it up royal.
How about that?
All right, but what are you gonna do about work?
Exactly.
I’ll get a job. Go clean.
Straighten up, you know?
Fuck it, man, I’ll get a career.
House, car, the whole fucking shebang, you know?
How about that?
What kind of job are you gonna get?
I’ve been thinking about that.
I was thinking maybe like a veterinarian, you know.
‘Cause I fucking love animals, you know?
Yeah.
Um, but that’s a doctor. You gotta get a degree for that.
Whatever, man, you know.
I’m a business person, you know. Something like that.
Shit, I know. You know what I always wanted to be?
What?
President of the United States.
[laughs] You’re right, Mrs. President.
I just haven’t been feeling too good lately, you know.
But I will though, man.
I’ll be feeling great.
Once I’m President and all, you know.
Shit. It’s just fucking celebration time.
Oh, yeah, this is, this is big.
(Lee) I once heard this saying that’s always stuck with me. I Must’ve been around 13 years old, ’cause I remember I just put the baby up for adoption. They called an assembly of my junior high ’cause this guy who played for Slim Whitman was coming to talk to us about success and making your mark on the world.
I don’t have any experience per se, but, um, I’m a real, I’m a real hard worker.
I was really excited ’cause he was the first real celebrity I’d seen, and this was exactly the kind of thing I wanted to learn, how to follow the footsteps.
I don’t even write it down.
It just stays right there.
You should know that I’ve worked with people all my life.
So I’m real good with people.
And, um, um, I know how to work a Rolodex.
So I listened real hard to any advice he had. For sure, he said something that just stuck right on my mind. It was, “All you need in life is love and to believe in yourself. Then there’s nothing you can’t do.”
Right. Wanna make sure that I have all of this straight.
Basically, you have no experience, no college degree, no resume, no work history whatsoever. In fact, now you would like to be a lawyer.
No, see, I was, um, I’m sorry, but when I read the ad, it said that you were looking for a secretary.
Okay! Well, you need to learn how to type. You’ll need computer skills.
Most of our secretaries have college degrees.
Most of them have specialized in law.
I don’t mean to sound harsh, but frankly, this is a little insulting.
I see you’re from Daytona Beach. And all of that looks great. It must be wonderful.
But can I tell you something? When the beach party is over, you don’t get to say, “You know what?
Now I’d like to have what everybody else has worked their entire life for.”
It doesn’t work that way.
Fuck you, man!
Yeah, fuck you!
You don’t fucking know me!
Okay, great. That’s great. See? Now I’m so sorry I didn’t hire you before.
Leslie, could you please escort Miss, I don’t even know her name because, of course, she doesn’t have a resume.
I don’t need a fucking escort, you piece of shit.
What, do you think I’m a fucking retard?
Take your fucking job and fucking shove it.
Fuck you, Leslie!
All you need is love and to believe in yourself. Nice idea. It doesn’t exactly work out that way. But I guess it was better to hear it flat out lie than to know the truth at 13.
I fell fucking from his shit. Told him to fuck himself, kiss my fucking sweet ass, and flung out the fucking door. Just like that, man.
What did he do?
Nothing, man.
Not a fucking thing.
Did not one fucking thing. Stupid motherfucker.
I bet nobody’s fucking ever talked to him like that in his whole life.
Fucking office job. Who the fuck wants a job like that?
You sit in a little desk, you got your little phone, you got your piece of paper, your little pen, you write it down. Blah, blah, blah.
Even a monkey could do that shit, man. Fuck.
I thought you wanted a job like that.
Yeah, well, you know what? No.
Cubby, two more.
Honey, Al says I can’t give you another tab.
Cubby, how long have I fucking been a customer here?
Will you cut me some fucking slack here?
Get me two more.
Fucking lazy bastard.
It’s no big deal, man.
Al runs us a tab all the time, you know.
He just probably doesn’t know it.
Lee, what, what are you gonna do?
I got it under fucking control, man.
I’m kinda starving here.
There’s no, there’s no way you could maybe, uh, I don’t know, call your dad or?
No.
Yeah, I know.
I know. Shit, man, I was just saying for you, you know.
Fuck it, man. I got, I got shit lined up, you know.
It’s not a fucking big deal.
Look, can I just give it to you straight?
See, the truth is, I’m, I’m a hooker.
And I’m trying to clean my life up here.
Go straight and Christian and all. So, if there’s anything that you can help me with, I–
So you’ve been convicted of a felony.
Yeah, but that was because–
The best you’re gonna get is factory work. Hey, Todd, do we even have any factory work?
Fuck!
I’m sorry.
I’m just trying to talk to you woman to woman truthfully. Hey!
Hey. Hey!
You don’t have change, do yo?
[siren wails]
Ma’am, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you to come with me.
Why?
We had some complaints out here.
Come on.
So, what did they complain about?
‘Cause, uh, ’cause I just got up, you know. It’s my day off.
A day off?
And what’s a day off for a whore?
You go to church or somethin’? Don’t you remember me?
No.
I busted you not eight months ago for tricking up on 95. I went real easy on you, too.
Seems to me that you might owe me one.
Yeah, you sure went easy on me.
You almost broke my fucking jaw.
Please, did you do time?
Climb over.
Sel?
[crying] Selby?
Selby.
Jesus Christ, what are you doing? What the fuck are you doing?
What the fuck?
I wanna get this cast off!
Just drop the fucking blade. I’ll take you to a fucking doctor, okay? Just stop it.
Help me?
Like you care.
What-what, what are you talking about?
You can stop, Lee.
Stop what?
You can stop the game.
I am out there trying my best, okay?
Why did you quit hooking?
Because…’cause I needed to, all right?
And you thought I was stupid enough to support you.
No, Selby.
That you wouldn’t even have to fuck me to get it ’cause I’m so hard up.
No! No, Selby, that is not the reason.
You said that we were gonna party, party, party. There hasn’t been a party!
I know.
What have you done about it? Nothing, when I tell you that I’m starving.
‘Cause I just–
‘Cause you’re using me.
‘Cause you’re fucking using me!
‘Cause I fucking killed someone, all right?
Okay?
My last john, all right? I fucking killed my last john.
I was raped and beat to fuck and was gonna get killed.
But I would–
I didn’t wanna lose you, and think about how the rest of your fucking life you’d think I stood you up.
And that you’d never know that I fucking meant to be there.
[whispers] And I didn’t wanna die thinking that maybe, maybe you could’ve loved me.
So I killed him.
I shot him, all right?
I fucking shot him.
Fuck!
You happy now?
Take your fucking bag! I’m sorry I let you fucking down, all right?
No, now you know me, Sel. Now you fucking know me, all right?
So you might go as the fucking wind, okay?
No, please.
You wanna fucking go.
No, I don’t wanna go.
Sure you do. Sure you fucking do. They all do.
Lee”ll be fine.
Lee’ll be fucking fine.
Sh, sh.
Selby, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
[whispers]
I’m sorry.
[cries]
Sh.
[pants]
[whispers]
I had to do it, Sel.
I know.
Or he would’ve killed you.
[whispers]
What’s gonna happen now?
Nothing.
It’s already over.
Look, I’m gonna get this taken off and I’m gonna go get a job.
No, man, fuck it.
I’m going back.
No. I, I understand if you can’t hook any more.
The truth is I don’t even mind.
I wanted to go back. Before I was just so shit scared of getting caught.
That was the only reason.
I’m been hooking since I was 13, man.
Who the fuck am I kidding?
I’m a hooker.
You got a wet pussy?
Yeah, sure.
You like to fuck?
Yeah.
Jesus Christ. You’d think nobody ever talked dirty to you before.
Yeah, I know, man. I just like to settle first, you know.
Call me daddy while I fuck you, huh?
Yeah, I’ll try. Why, you like to fuck your kids?
What?
Shit, man.
I’m just kidding with you.
I’m just messing with you. I’m just–
Yeah, I will call you daddy.
Daddy. See?
I’m gonna call you daddy.
I do it all the time.
Forty dollars, huh? Yeah.
Forty bucks.
There’s some good shit here.
For you.
Come on.
You’re gonna suck it for me?
Come on, baby. Get over here and work for the me.
Just hang on.
Take your tit out or somethin’, will ya.
[groans]
Fucking child molester.
Life is funny.
It’s hard.
But it’s also strange how things can be so different than you think.
I remember I was just a kid in the 4H club. They set up this beautiful, gigantic, red and yellow Ferris wheel. It lit up the night sky. They called it the Monster.
You want some money?
Oh.
Oh, my God!
Are you serious?
As a kid, I thought it was about the coolest thing I’d ever seen, and I couldn’t wait to ride it. When I finally got my chance, I got so scared and nauseous I threw up all over myself before it even made one full turn.
I’m gonna wash up, okay?
[door closes] Hang on a sec. I gotta wash up here, okay?
Okay.
Hey, where did you get the car?
My friend Thomas. Saw him on the way home.
He let us borrow it to move. We’re moving?
Yeah. Fuck this place, right? It’s not place for my girl.
Oh, man. A real place? An apartment?
Yeah. What, you’re happy now? Yeah, I’m happy.
I know, baby.
I know.
We’re good now.
I told you.
And that’s what I mean. In my life, it’s always been the harmless stuff that hurts the most. Whereas the thing so horrible you can’t even imagine it, it’s usually a lot easier than you think. You never really know until you’re the one standing there.
♫ I don’t hardly know her ♫
♫ But I think I could love her ♫
♫ Crimson and clover ♫
♫ Ah ♫
Thanks, Lee.
No problem.
How’s your arm?
Okay.
It looks weird.
It’s kinda white.
It smells kinda weird too.
Was it okay?
Yeah, it was fine.
‘Cause I knew I was coming home to you.
Yeah.
I love you.
[whispers]
I love you, too.
♫ My mind’s such a sweet thing ♫
♫ I wanna do everything ♫
♫ What a beautiful feeling ♫
♫ Crimson and clover ♫
♫ Over and over ♫
Waitress. Let’s have another bottle of Chablis, all right? This stuff is so good.
Thanks for taking me to such a nice sitdown place, Lee.
It’s okay.
This is okay, you know?
It’s pretty fine, but, uh, man, some day I’m gonna take you to some real top notch places in the Keys, like some real classy joints.
The Keys? I always wanted to go to the Keys.
I always wanted to have a house on the beach, you know.
But I haven’t even been to the beach since I’ve been here.
I’ll buy you a house on the beach, huh? How about that?
Yeah, right. Those places are like thousands of thousands of dollars.
So what? You think I can’t get you a house on the beach?
What else do you want?
You want a little purple Porsche, huh?
You want a little pony you can ride?
Sorry. This is a nonsmoking area.
You have to put the cigarette out.
What are you doing? Are you gonna sing us a song?
Let me have that.
Put your fucking hands off, you piece of shit.
If she wants to smoke, she’s gonna smoke.
We’re paying fucking customers here. What?
What you got? Huh?
You wanna bring it on?
Y’all better watch your food. There was a cockroach in mine the size like this.
This is not how you run a fucking establishment.
[horn blaring] This is good, man. So, what’s your deal, man?
Where you like to fuck?
Like to fuck in the back? Huh?
So, would you like to gel really rough? [laughs]
Shit, I bet you get real rough back there, huh?
Real nasty.
Mm, you like that, huh?
Maybe you wanna slap me around a little bit, huh?
Huh?
Don’t think I don’t see it, man.
What, you can’t speak?
What the fuck?
You got a fucking problem?
The cat cut your fucking tongue?
I don’t like it rough.
I I’ve never d-done this before.
I-I have–
Take your pants off.
[moans] Thank you.
You’re welcome.
Hey.
Hey, sugar.
You wanna have a beer with me?
Shit.
Don’t you wanna come to bed?
In a minute.
In a minute.
No! Wake up.
Wake up!
I wanna go out!
[rock music]
Hey, do you mind if I have those?
This guy’s an asshole, right?
It’s like boom, motherfucker. Like, this chair over, flying shit around. All that jazz.
Fucking office job, right? Fucking retard sitting at the phone and talking all day long.
Blah, blah, blah. Bullshit.
Sounds like you were at Fun World.
I-I didn’t…man.
I threw a wad a paper.
What’s, what’s Fun World?
Fun World in Orlando. This one over here says, “We have to go. This ain’t nice.”
Then she starts some fight with a bunch of fucking rednecks.
Get the fuck in here.
Where the fuck were you?
I was out!
In that fucking car?
So? What are you doing?
Oh, I’m just cleaning this fucking pigsty we’re living in, Selby. That’s all.
What the fuck were you doing?
I was out!
We needed stuff!
We needed stuff? We don’t need this fucking shit, Selby!
Who the fuck told you you could take the fucking car?
Lee, what difference does it make?
What difference? If I’m gonna fucking borrow a car from my friend, it’s my business.
That’s what.
I’m gonna go any place I want to. Okay? Any time I want.
Not on my fucking friend’s car. You’re not.
Fine. Fine.
Then I’ll walk.
Okay? I do not wanna sit here alone all the time.
I wanna go out.
I wanna meet people.
I wanna hang out with people without you fucking scaring them off!
All right.
Where would you like to go?
I don’t know.
Travel. See different places.
We-we could go to Fun World.
Wanna go to Fun World? Hm?
What, now?
No. Now I gotta take the fucking car back.
And now we don’t have any fucking money. Like usual, Selby.
So you’re leaving.
Hey, Selby, check it out.
There are my friends.
Hey.
Hey! Remember me?
(Selby) I figured you guys would be here.
Oh, yeah?
I loved her. And the thing no one ever realized about me or believed was that I could learn. I could train myself into anything. People always look down their noses at hookers. Never give you a chance ’cause they think it’s the easy way out. And no one could imagine the will power it took to do what we do. Walk in the streets night after night. Taking the hits and still getting back up.
(Selby) We wanna go again.
But I did. And they’d all miss out. ‘Cause they had no idea what I could discipline myself to when I believed in something. And I believed in her.
I need to sit down.
Oh, there she is.
I’m gonna talk to her.
Hey, you wanna ride the Ferris wheel?
No.
We’re gonna go sit down.
You okay?
(Selby) Why did you do this so young?
My brothers and sisters screwed me royal.
‘Cause after my dad had killed himself, we were out on the streets.
And the neighbors would let them stay over but only if I didn’t tag along.
So I stayed clear. But I knew they didn’t have any money, you now.
I was having a hook anyway, so I always made sure that I had new clothes and cigarettes and stuff like that.
But then this one night we were at this party and this guys comes in and he’s like, yeah, you know, she fucks so and so.
And they’re all embarrassed.
I’m fucking standing in the corner.
So they, um, yeah, they-they threw me out in the snow.
Screaming out, you know, I’m a whore and they’re so embarrassed and they hate me and all that.
So that was it.
I just took off and never went back.
That’s real sad.
Your own family doing that to you.
Yeah, but that’s how people are, Selby.
Yeah. Y-yeah, I know.
Fuck ’em. Who needs them? Right.
Yeah. Yeah, fuck ’em.
No. Right, Selby. Right!
Right, Selby! Get out. Get the fuck out. Run!
(woman) Are you all okay? No. Yeah, we’re fine.
Yeah, we’re good.
I’m gonna call an ambulance.
No, that’s okay. We don’t have any insurance.
We just rather, you know, deal with this ourselves.
Yeah. Her dad’s just around the corner. Get the fuck in the car.
We’re just gonna try and drive her out.
It’s gonna save us a bundle.
[engine sputters]
[engine starts]
You know, she’s good.
Have a good day now, okay?
Let’s go, Selby. Now.
No. No, I wanna drive.
Selby, the car belongs to a dead man.
He’s fucking dead.
Let’s go, now!
No!
Selby!
Lee? Who killed that man?
Who do you think?
[whispers]
Oh, my God.
They’re coming for us.
They’re not coming.
What are you talking about?
You’re fucking killing people!
Keep your fucking voice down!
Now, listen to me.
They’re not coming.
All right?
[whispers] I never wanted you in this shit to begin with.
But I know what I’m doing.
And you’re never gonna understand it, all right? So you gotta trust me.
Look.
Look here.
They don’t have one fucking thing.
They got nothing. They’re not even looking, man!
This shit is long over already.
I didn’t wanna fucking wreck the car in public but we did, you know.
We did. So if they were gonna call the cops, they would’ve done it by now.
[whispers]
How could you.
You knew.
No. No.
No, I knew about one, Lee. One.
No, Selby.
No, Sel.
[whispers]
Fuck it.
Come in here. We’re gonna have a drink and we’re gonna forget about all this, all right? Cheers.
Lee, this isn’t funny.
You don’t know what’s going on, Sel! I do.
So, if you wanna keep your eyes shut to the whole world, then the least you can do is hear me out.
Now, it’s not what you think it is, all right?
I know what it is.
No, you don’t know my life, Selby.
But I know yours.
And I’ve done everything in the whole wide world hoping that you’d never have to know.
So you, so you could go on thinking that people are good and kind. And that should make sense, you know.
‘Cause I love that about you, Sel. But I can’t.
No, I don’t wanna hear this, Lee.
I know. But you need to. We can be as different as we wanna be, but you can’t kill people.
Says who?
I’m good with the Lord.
I’m fine with him.
And I know how you were raised, all right?
And I know how people fucking think out there and it’s gotta be that way.
They gotta tell you that Thou shall not kill shit and all of that.
But that’s not the way the world works, Selby, because I’m out there every fucking day living it.
Who the fuck knows what God wants!
People kill each other every day.
And for what. Huh?
For politics. For religion.
And they’re heroes.
No. No, there’s a lot of shit I can’t do any more.
But killing’s not one of them.
And letting those fucking bastards out there going rape somebody else isn’t either.
No, Lee, that was one man!
They can’t all be bad.
You know me. You think I could to it otherwise?
I’m not a bad person. I’m a real good person. All right?
So, don’t feel bad.
It’s life, Sel.
People like me and you go down every fucking day.
[whispers]
But not us.
All right?
And it’s almost over.
I mean, look at this. See this?
This is everything, everything you ever wanted.
Just a little more and a car and we’re out of here.
We have a shot, Sel.
We have a shot at a real life. Not this. A real one.
You know what to do, right?
Leave that shit.
We don’t need it, okay?
See you later.
(Selby) So, everything’s working out and we’re real happy.
But I just thought you could tell my family ’cause we’re gonna be relocating for a little bit.
So…you’re choosing to go this way.
No, this is not a choice.
I’m not choosing anything.
This is just
This is the way I am.
And I’m not gonna feel bad about it any more. You can tell him that, too.
Look, I know that you’re all romantic about that girl.
But whether she supports you or not, she’s all screwed up.
People are like that for a reason. I’m not talking about being born a nigger.
Don’t say nigger!
I’m saying it’s not their fault.
Blacks or whatever you wanna call them, Selby, you know I’m not a racist.
The point is, people make bad choices.
And they pay for ’em as you can see all these miserable street people.
[whispers] And we see you choosing this life, this gay life.
You know even more than that easy life with this woman that–
No. No, she’s had a real hard life.
Oh, honey. Lots of people have bad lives and they still chose to move toward the light.
Otherwise we’d all be hookers and druggies ’cause somebody yelled at us or we had a mean mom.
I don’t wanna hear this.
This is not the point.
Don’t fight the world, honey.
There’s so much more than just love out there.
Or some day all you’re gonna want is a roof over your head even if you have to sleep with a man to get it. That’s your choice.
Yeah. This is my choice.
‘Cause we’re in love.
What, we’re going on a hike?
No, man. This is good right here.
The car was good.
Not when there’s a fucking gun in it.
[chuckles]
So? Lots of people have guns.
Well? Are you gonna undress or what?
No, you first. I think I’ll fuckin’ trust you now?
So, uh, you’re married, right? I don’t get that fucking shit.
Come out here with strange girls. Do dirty things with them instead of just fucking your wife. Why, man? So you can rape them?
No. Good Lord.
Fucking men.
I fucking hate ’em.
Well, why are you a hooker?
I’m not a hooker.
See, I don’t fuck men.
Used to. It’s against my will, though.
Yeah, this old guy used to rape me when I was eight.
Real good friend of my dads, you know.
So I go to my dad. Tell him what’s going on. My dad don’t believe me.
So, his friend keeps raping me for years.
And the fucking kicker to the story is that my dad fucking beats me up for it.
You see? Man, where the fuck do you think you’re going? Huh?
We’re not gonna do it.
I feel sorry for you.
If you want a ride, you better come on.
I don’t need a ride, man.
Yeah, I don’t need a ride.
‘Cause I wanna take your car.
You fucking think I’m stupid enough to get back into a fucking car with you when there’s a gun in there?
Pplease.
Victor Born.
That was his name. My dad’s friend. Some friend. Years later I found out he died in a car accident. I was filled with joy. ‘Cause like God finally struck him down for all his evil. I loved that. And you can’t get away with your shit forever. Sooner or later, he’s gonna catch up with you.
[whispers]
Motherfucker.
Where’s the car? Got all fucked up.
Is that everything?
We got beer? Fucking man, I think we should just go.
How?
We’ll take the bus. We got enough money, right?
We do?
I don’t know.
I’ll hook down there.
No. Lee–
We can’t take all our shit in the bus!
I can’t get one right now, okay, Sel?
What happened?
A fucking cop. The guy, he wasn’t gonna do it.
And then he had a fucking gun in his car, so I popped him. He’s a fucking cop.
I think he’s retired. But I can’t take the car. It’s a cop car.
There’s some fucking tracking device in it.
The fucker tried to fucking trick me into his car while he’s gotta gun in there.
Keep it down.
[whispers]
Okay.
You’re just gonna have to go get another one.
No. No, you’re not changing your mind on me.
Selby, please.
Lee, this isn’t my plan.
This is your deal, okay?
Your plan. The house in the beach.
Self-employed. Just like you said.
Your plan. So, you have to go get us another car.
We’re leaving now.
Get up.
[whispers]
All right.
Just give me a sec.
I’m gonna try and get out of here before the end of the week.
That’s good.
I’m proud of you.
Guess I just wanted to say goodbye to you, Tom.
‘Cause you’ve been real good to me.
Are you all right?
Yeah, man.
It’s nothing.
I’m just, uh–
Sometimes I feel like everybody thinks I’m just some bad shitty fucking person.
And all I’m fucking trying to do is survive, you know.
I know.
Yeah.
I know exactly. I know what yo do for a living. Doesn’t bother me at all.
I know you didn’t dialed it up on the goddamn telephone.
That’s where you landed.
That’s what you had to do.
What you’re feeling right now is just guilt over something that you had absolutely no control over.
You know how many of us came back from the war and almost killed ourselves?
Because we felt exactly the same thing you do right now.
Yeah?
Yeah. And they’ll never gel it.
They don’t get it now.
They never get it then.
And they sure as hell won’t ever get fucking circumstance.
Fuck, man. Circumstance.
That’s exactly it. That’s exactly it.
You know, it’s like I feel like I never had a fucking choice.
You never get, but you gotta live. You gotta live.
[whispers]
That’s it.
Okay.
(anchorman) Hunt for a serial killer. Police urge anyone with any information about these crimes, to contact your local authorities. Various parts of the state.
(woman reporter) Is it a woman? We’re not able to positively confirm a profile aft this time. However, the evidence does suggest that one or more of the murders had the occurrence during some phase of a sexual act.
(male reporter) Acts of prostitution? I can’t talk about it at this point.
Yeah. That’s exactly right.
Get the fuck outta here.
Get the fuck outta here!
Get in the car.
These here are my kids.
They’re down in Miami, so I’m just trying to make a couple of extra bucks.
You know what I’m saying?
I go get them, you know.
Are they okay?
Yeah, they’re fine.
I’m just trying to make some money.
Maybe you wanna help me out.
Maybe I could help you out, you know.
If you need some help, I’ll do what I can to get you back with your kids.
But maybe you need a room or a shower. Some warm clothes.
Our son’s room’s empty if you want it.
And I’m sure my wife wouldn’t mind a bit.
Pull the car.
I’m sorry?
Just pull the car.
We’re still rolling.
You can’t get out.
Stop the car.
They can barely see you out there.
Are you in some kind of–
Just drive the car.
Stop right here.
Look, there ain’t nothing that we can’t fix.
[low whisper]
No.
[whispers]
Get out of the car.
Look, I’ve got–
The keys are in the car.
There is my wallet.
Just, just
[whispers]
Turn around.
No, ma’am.
Turn around!
No, ma’am.
No. No.
Get down.
You don’t have to do this.
Get down.
You don’t.
You really don’t.
I can’t.
You don’t have to. You’re just having a hard time.
No! I can’t let you live.
Oh. Oh, God, my wife.
My wife.
My daughter’s having a baby.
[shouts]
Shut the fuck up!
Oh, God.
Oh, God, I’m sorry.
My babies.
My granddaughters.
I got a car, Sel.
We gotta go, right? You gotta drive ’cause I’m tired. Come on.
It’s out.
What? What’s out?
Sketches of us. Of me.
[whispers]
Of you?
Okay.
Hey.
So, you’re all set.
It’s almost direct, So you’re gonna get in tomorrow, all right?
I always said I would take you to the bus and buy you a ticket, you know.
Yeah, when I wanted to go.
[sobs]
I wanted, I wanted-I wanted to tell you that maybe I-Maybe I fucked, you know.
I know I did.
I did f-I did fuck it.
But–
Maybe I was just scared.
[whispers] I was just scared of a little help.
Maybe you can-You can-You can help me.
You can help me, because-Maybe, maybe you can forgive me for– ‘Cause I don’t know, I don’t know if I can forgive myself for this.
You know, for this– All this– Come back to me.
Will you come back?
Okay.
[whispers] This will all
This will all pass.
You’ll go.
And then you come back here and we–
And we go far, far away.
[cries]
Go.
No.
Selby, you take that, all right?
But, Lee–
No, you take that and we’ll spend it, all right?
Two whiskeys, two beers.
Two whiskeys, two beers for the lady.
Are you here much?
(Tom) Lee.
Lee.
Tom! Hey.
Hey, this is my only friend, Tom.
[clears throat] We got a fire outside. The old conversation pit.
No, man.
Oh, come on.
You’re going over the fence.
What?
Yes. I’m gonna drive you around or you’re gonna go over the fence.
No, Tom.
I gotta stay here by the phone for my girl ’cause I gotta call her.
‘Cause she left, Tom.
She fucking left, but she’s gonna come back, okay?
Hey.
You’ve got a fucking wife and you’re telling me to come with you?
What the fuck are you doing, man?
Not you, Tom.
Not fucking you, Tom.
Fuck, man!
You got some fucking change or somethin’?
You want change?
Yeah, I gotta call my fucking girl.
That’s cool. I got some change. It’s out in my car.
If you want, follow me.
My car is right over there. The red.
Where?
Right over there.
You see it? Come here.
I got plenty of change. We’re heading to Orlando tonight.
A couple of quarters.
I just need like a dime or something.
Whoa, man, what the fuck are you doing?
Take it easy.
You have the right to remain silent.
No shit, man.
You have the right to an attorney. I just wanna fucking call my girl.
[muffled buzz]
Selby?
Hi!
Oh, man, it’s good to hear your voice.
Yeah, you, too.
So you’re back down here, huh?
Yeah. Yeah, I came down to see what was going on.
Yeah. Oh, man.
Am I glad to hear that.
‘Cause, uh, we still have a shot here, Sel.
Yeah, we’re all right, because they got me in here for some old warrant.
But, um, Where are you at?
In a motel room. Yeah.
I wish I was there with you right now.
Yeah.
But, Lee, um, they’ve been up to see my parents.
They’re asking all kinds of questions.
Uh…yeah.
You know, uh, I’d rather not talk on the phone here, you know.
Because, ’cause I don’t know if they’re, you know.
But, uh, don’t worry about that, Sel.
That’s just some mistake of identity or something.
They’ve got nothing. So let’s just talk about us, you know. I can’t, Lee. My pictures’s in the paper, you know, for when we crashed the car.
Selby, what are you talking about?
I’m talking about when we crashed the red car.
Why are you saying that?
‘Cause I’m freaking out!
They know, Lee. They know and they’re coming after me, and I know I’m gonna go down.
No, Selby.
I wouldn’t do that. You know I would never do that, okay?
So, Just chill out, okay?
How am I supposed to do that?
You’re gonna let me go down for something you did.
Selby, I didn’t do anything.
Lee.
Sel?
Lee, you know what I’m talking about.
What are you doing?
I’m not doing anything.
Where is the money, Sel?
What money?
The money I gave you.
What are you talking about? I don’t know what you’re talking about, Lee.
Nothing. Just some change.
Yeah. Yeah, I, I got that.
I just wanna live, Lee.
I just want a normal happy life.
I don’t know why I did this. ‘Cause I love you.
‘Cause I love you, and I, and I never wanted to leave you. That’s all. I love you with all my heart, my soul and mind. And I’ll never let you down. All right? ‘Cause it was me. It was only me. And I’ll tell them that, okay? That it’s over for me now. I’m never gonna see you again. Yeah, I know. I wish there was a way that people could forgive you for something like this.
[muffled voice]
Selby Wall.
But they can’t.
They can’t, you know. So I’m gonna die, Sel.
[no audio]
Hey, Sel, I’ll never forget you. Goodbye, baby. Goodbye. Goodbye, baby. Goodbye, Lee.
[no audio]
Thank you, Judge.
And may you rot in hell.
Sending a raped woman to death?
And you’re all, you’re a bunch of scum, that’s what you are.
Love conquers all. Every cloud has a silver lining. Faith can move mountains. Love will always run away. Everything happens for a reason. Where there’s life, there’s hope. Hope. They gotta tell you something.
