Alison: [narrating] My best friend Lily thought she was drowning. Drowning in the Salton Sea. Even though the water was too polluted to set foot in, and left anything in their town either dying, or dead.
Margaret Hobart: Lily? Are you okay? Hello...
Alison: Lily was determined to never let it get her.

Cool huh?! Lol, no but really this was a a neat lil' story, lil' means a lot packed into a lil' amount of time. I thought the relationship between the girls was nice and the dialogue betwixt the local L.A. hooligan rascal knaves was very witty and fun. I was on the edge my seat during this film. I thought the end came way way way too quick, but then I realized, the whole thing was an end , an end right from the start. In that nasty place, then in L.A. with those dead-beat hooligans and with those dead-beat pervs and with the dead-beat parents and on and on... this seemed to me like a story on trying to start your life when its already over before it began... very queer and odd situation, come and check it out it was really cool!
