SUNNY: So, that was really cool today. So, where did you learn to fight all bad-ass like that?

CONNOR: In Quor-toth.

SUNNY: Quor-toth? That's in Mexico, right?

(She walks up to one of the doors of an abandoned motel and opens it only to reveal a guy about to light a drug pipe.)

SUNNY: Oh. Sorry.

(Sunny closes the door and moves over to the steps leading up to the second floor.)

SUNNY: Lots of folks squat here. Most are cool, but... If a fat guy, wearing furry slippers asks you to play 'teddy bear in the hole' just tell him to get lost. - So, ah - what did you do for kicks in Quor-toth?

CONNOR: Kicks?

SUNNY: You know, like fun. Parties, movies, the mall? How do you spend your time?

CONNOR: I hunt.

SUNNY: Big surprise.

(Sunny opens another door, and after taking a careful peek, enters.)

SUNNY: Home, sweet home.

CONNOR: This is - this is home.

SUNNY: Tonight it is. - You're welcome to crash here, too.

(Connor picks up a bra lying on a dresser.)

SUNNY: Hmm, I don't think it's your size. People squat here and they leave stuff.

(Picks up a shirt and pants lying on the sofa)

SUNNY: So, uhm, how do you feel about losing the whole - 'dead animal' thing?

(Connor looks down at his clothes. Sunny walks over and tosses some clothes at him.)

SUNNY: I mean, not that I'm against eating a cheeseburger.

(Sunny turns back to the sofa table and pulls a beefstick out of a bag as Connor starts to strip behind her.)

SUNNY: We have all food groups. Meat and chocolate. So, you really were going to kill Tyke.

CONNOR: He was hurting you.

SUNNY: Well, it's good you didn't.

CONNOR: Why?

(Sunny looks over her shoulder at Connor, who is completely unphased at her seeing him completely naked. She turns back away.)

SUNNY: Ahem, because it's wrong? I mean - I know Tyke's a bastard, but the cops are even worse. (Taking another bite of the candy bar) God, I love these. Have you ever had one?

(Connor, in the process of pulling on the shirt, shakes his head.)

SUNNY: Well, then get on down here, cowboy.

(Connor crouches down across from Sunny and takes a bite of her offered candy bar.)

SUNNY: Isn't it the best?

(Looking through the stuff on the table, Sunny picks up an applesauce cup and opens it, then opens a bag of chips. Connor picks up a burnt looking spoon.)

CONNOR: I know this. A tool for eating.

(Connor is about the start on the applesauce with it, but Sunny takes the spoon away from him.)

SUNNY: Ah, uhm, no. Uhm - that isn't for - food.

(Connor starts to eat straight out of the cup, wearing a small frown. Sunny holds up a packet of white powder.)

SUNNY: It's for this. I get it from Tyke. - It's - medicine.

CONNOR: You're sick?

SUNNY: No. It's - it's not that kind of medicine. - It helps me sometimes when I'm - sad.

CONNOR: You're sad?

SUNNY: (shaking her head) No. Hm-mm.

(Offers him a bite of her moon pie. Connor takes a bite and smiles at her. Sunny smiles back at him.)

(... later ...)

SUNNY: Hmm, food, cash, a place to crash. I've had worse days. How about you?

(Connor looks away, not answering)

SUNNY: So, what's your deal? Why did you come to LA?

CONNOR: To find my father.

SUNNY: Really? Heh. I came here to get away from mine. - Parents should have to take like a test or something, before they can have kids. And if they're - drunks, or idiots, or evil - they should be sterilized.

CONNOR: If they're evil they should be killed.

(Sunny considers that for a moment in silence)

SUNNY: You don't say much but - I like what you say.

(Connor looks at Sunny and after a moment she leans in to kiss him. At first he pulls back, then leans closer and they kiss. After a moment Sunny pulls back with a smile.)

SUNNY: Ah, I - ah, I'll be right back.

(cut to later. Connor has fallen asleep. A siren wails, and he snaps awake, pulling two daggers out as he does so.)

CONNOR: Sunny?

(no answer, so he starts exploring)

CONNOR: Sunny?

(He opens the door to the bathroom, revealing Sunny slumped against the side of the bathtub. There is a tourniquet around her upper arm and a syringe still sticking out of her forearm.)

CONNOR: Sunny?

(He reaches down and picks up the packet of 'medicine' Sunny showed him earlier, then stands up. Connor turns around to find Angel standing in the door behind him.)

ANGEL: Connor.

(cut to commercial)
