[In an alley, Kylo is paying BB his share.]
Kylo Ren: Thirty-nine, forty. There you go. Way to work that diaper, big guy! [BB takes off the costume and goes in the van.] Hey! No kiss bye-bye for daddy? [BB spits out the pacifier and looks at Kylo.]
BB: [in a deep gruff voice] You kiss me tomorrow, I'll bite your face off! [Rap music starts playing; BB puts on shades] See ya! [BB drives off, revealing a glaring Rey as Kylo eats one of his own "popsicles" he stops at the sight of her.]
Rey: Well. I stood up for you, and you lied to me. You liar!
Kylo Ren: It's called a hustle, sweetheart. And I'm not the liar, he is! [points the other way; Rey looks but sees no one. She turns back and sees that Kylo disappeared. She turns the other way and sees Kylo walking away]
Rey: Hey! [chases Kylo] All right, slick guy, you're under arrest.
Kylo Ren: Really, for what?
Rey: Gee, I don't know. How about selling food without a permit, transporting undeclared commerce across borough lines, false advertising...
Kylo Ren: [shows a certificate] Permit, receipt of declared commerce, and I did not falsely advertise anything. [crosses the street as a group of people cross] You can't touch me, Peanut. I've been doing this since I was born.
Rey: [threateningly] You're gonna want to refrain from calling me "Peanut."
Kylo Ren: My bad, I just naturally assumed you came from some little Podunk, no?
Rey: [gets through the group of people] Uh, no. Podunk is in Connecticut . I grew up in Nightfall Farm.
Kylo Ren: Okay. Tell me if this story sounds familiar. [takes a blueberry from a stand and eats it] Naive little hick with good grades and big ideas decides, "Hey, look at me, I'm gonna move to Los Angeles, where everybody lives in harmony!" Only to find - whoopsie! - we don't all get along. And that dream of becoming a big-city cop? Double whoopsie! She's a meter maid. And whoopsie number three-sie, no one cares about her or her dreams. [As he says this, she looks sad and shocked that he knows everything] And soon enough those dreams die, [Rey gives him a look of shock and anger at the mention of the possibility of her dream dying] and our young lady sinks into emotional and literal squalor, living in a box under a bridge. Till, finally, she has no choice but to go back home to become... You're from Nightfall Farm, is that what you said? So how about a farmer? Does that sound about right? [walks off, leaving Rey stunned. Rey follows Kylo and is almost trampled by a tall guy] Be careful now, or it won't just be your dreams getting crushed.
Rey: [catches up to Kylo, frustrated] Hey, hey! No one tells me what I can or can't be! Especially not some jerk who never had the guts to try and be anything more than a popsicle hustler.
Kylo Ren: All right, look, everyone comes to Los Angeles thinking they can be anything they want. Well, you can't. You can only be what you are. [points to himself] Sly guy, [points to Judy] dumb girl.
Rey: I am not a dumb girl. [She sinks a bit and there is a soft squelch as she sinks to her knees]
Kylo Ren: Right. [points down] And that's not wet cement. [Rey is seen up to her knees in cement; Three take notice and glare at her. Kylo walks off as Rey struggles to break loose] You'll never be a real cop. You're a cute meter maid, though. Maybe a supervisor one day. Hang in there! [Kylo turns a corner, leaving Rey upset.]
