:54:01
My parents are staying
at the New York Hilton.

:54:03
I don't want to worry them
by being incarcerated.

:54:05
It's my mother's birthday.
:54:07
I bought her a rug.
:54:08
Be quiet, Mr. Wolff.
:54:10
You?
:54:11
Lola Steppe.
:54:12
My father's name
is Calum Steppe.

:54:14
Address is 512 Bleecker Street.
:54:16
212-555-0125.
:54:19
All right, the three of you,
:54:21
sit over there
while I make some calls.

:54:23
What's wrong with you?
:54:25
Why did you lie like that
to the police?

:54:27
They're gonna find out
that your father is dead.

:54:29
What's going on?
:54:30
-Who are you two?
-What's wrong with you?

:54:32
You're not afraid of what
your parents are gonna say?

:54:34
I'm resigned
to what life may bring,

:54:37
but why did you give
a false address?

:54:39
You know, Ella, I think
your true soul and spirit

:54:42
are finally beginning to emerge.
:54:43
Why did you lie?
:54:45
I didn't lie.
:54:46
My father does live
on Bleecker Street.

:54:47
And he has a rent-controlled
apartment and a dog named Negus.

:54:51
You told me your father died
in a motorcycle accident.

:54:54
So I exaggerated a little.
:54:56
A little?
:54:57
Exaggerating a little is saying
you're a little taller.

:55:00
Saying your father is dead
when he's not

:55:02
is lying beyond comprehension.
:55:04
Can we talk about this later?
:55:05
We should tell Stu
what happened first.

:55:07
You should tell me
what happened.

:55:08
Why did you say
your father was dead?

:55:10
He died?
:55:11
When?
:55:13
I had a reason.
:55:14
And what was that?
:55:16
The truth?
:55:16
No, a lie will do.
:55:18
Yes, the truth!
:55:18
You do remember what that is,
don't you?

:55:21
Were we in a diner?
:55:22
I have an image of "Merry Xmas."
:55:24
Just give me a moment.
I'd be happy to explain.

:55:26
Right now I'm talking to her.
:55:28
All right.
The total truth.

:55:32
I lied because I wanted to make
myself seem more interesting.

:55:36
More interesting?
:55:38
We are 1,000 miles from home
in a New York police station

:55:41
with a drunken rock star waiting
for your dead father to show up.

:55:45
You want to be more interesting?
More interesting than what?

:55:48
You know,
you just don't understand.

:55:50
It was a new town
and a new school.

:55:52
I understand.
:55:53
And I lied for my mom.
:55:55
I had to protect her
against suburbia.

:55:57
Your parents didn't get her.
:55:58
So you killed your father?
