Squatters (2014) - full transcript

In Venice, California, Kelley Tanner and Jonas Trumball are homeless teenagers who live on the beach and spend the day using drugs, drinking booze and shoplifting to survive. One day, Jonas overhears a conversation in a parking area between a woman named Evelyn and her housekeeper, and Evelyn tells that she will travel for one month with her husband David and she gives the alarm code to her servant. Jonas sees the chance to rob the house and brings Kelley with him. Kelley is in need of family love since she was a foster girl that left her foster house to live on the streets, and she spends the days watching the home videos of Evelyn, David, their son Michael, who has a poster of "The Kid" in his room, and their deceased daughter Stephanie. But Jonas is interested in robbing as much as possible to start a new life in Mexico. He meets a dangerous criminal to fence the jewelry and the Porsches of the family. But the family returns and Kelley and Jonas need to flee from the house. When Kelley is wandering on the streets, she stumbles upon a movie theater that is showing Charles Chaplin's "The Kid". She buys a ticket and realizes that she is alone in the theater; out of the blue, Michael enters the theater and sits near her. Soon they drink coffee together and Michael dates Kelley and falls in love with her. Kelly does not disclose her past to Michael but soon she is haunted by what she did.

Should we be doing this?
I mean, it's their house.

Tonight,

we don't worry.

About what?
Aw... About anything.

We're not gonna worry about

where we'll sleep,

who's got drugs, how we're gonna
make money, where the cops are.

Not tonight.

Tonight, we celebrate.

Sounds good.

Cheers.

Oh, that's gross.

It's cognac. It's the nicest

Wow.

They have everything.

That's what I'm hoping.

Wow, that's so cool.

Wow, that telescope's probably
worth a grand, alone.

Wow, look at that bathtub.

You should go for it, man.

[JAZZ MUSIC

Enjoy.

Every night, when we would
hit the market next door,

I'd see these
people in here.

I'd see what they'd order

and see them drinking
their fine wine.

Damn it, that's what
we're gonna have tonight.

Yeah.

Fuck, I always wanted
to eat here.

WAITER: Good evening.
Hello.

Have you been here
before?

No.

Oh, may I suggest for you
the tasting menu?

Is that what they're having?

WAITER:
No, they're having
a special menu

prepared by the chef.

Okay, we'll have
that as well.

Also comes with
excellent wine pairings.

Great, we'll have the same.

Absolutely, sir.
You will be beyond satisfied.

That's what we want.

Are you crazy?

I swear that guy is famous--

For fuck's sake,
people are gonna--

What? People are gonna stare?
Yeah.

They're gonna talk?
Yeah.

They're gonna arrest you?
Yes.

Right. For what?

You don't get it, do you?
We've got all the markings.

We've got the fine cars
and the fine clothes.

Yeah, but they
didn't steal it.

Yeah, they did.

Because if they didn't
work for it, they stole it.

What?

Please,
just try and relax.

Just enjoy it,
like they do.

Okay.

Hey.

It's funny.

I've got $1000 right here
in my pocket.

I want you to hang onto it.
No.

Come on, hold it.
Why?

When was the last time you
held 1000 bucks in your hand?

[MONEY RUSTLES]

Come on, feels good,
doesn't it?

[CHUCKLES]

That was the best meal
I ever had.

It was pretty good.
What?

If that wasn't the best meal
you ever had,

then who the fuck are you?

Fine, the best meal ever.

It was, right?

Yeah.

[WHISPERS]
Shh. Keep it down.

[PLAYING MELANCHOLY TUNE]

Yeah. I'm Sarah.
This is my brother, Adam.

Hi.
Right on. Terrence.

I work for them.
Handyman. Heh, heh.

Totally spaced

That's cool. Um...

I guess just wash the cars
or whatever

a few days before
they get back.

We don't need anything, right?

Yeah, August, right?
I think so.

Can't remember the date.
It's written down.

Late August sounds right.
All right.

Hey, late August, it is.

See you.
Take it easy.

Think that worked?
Yeah.

But what about
the neighbors--

The neighbors
haven't seen us yet,

and they're not going to,
so relax.

I need to start unloading
this stuff.

What stuff?

Stuff. The cars, paintings,
the jewelry.

That's why we're here.

Okay. There's one ring
you can't hock.

It's David's father's ring.

It's the only thing he has
to remember him by.

What's it look like?

It's gold, it's black onyx,
has the initials R.S. on it.

How do you know all this?
The videos.

What videos?
The home videos.

Okay. I need to go
and talk to this guy.

Just promise me?

I won't sell this ring.
I gotta go.

Okay.
I'm just gonna stay here.

Do whatever

Right there on top of a volcano.
That's what I said.

What's this one's name?

Michael Silverman.

I think you're full of shit.
I don't care.

We sacrificed everything

If you're gonna talk
like that, we'll leave.

Hi.

Where have you been?
In L.A.

Really?
Yeah. I just moved into a house.

Come visit soon.
Does it have a pool?

No. But it's close

Can I go now?
Honey, no.

No, you have
to go to school,

but I'll visit really soon,
okay?

Bobby, get away.

She ain't your real sister.
She's foster trash.

Shut up, Wilerd.
Get on back in the house.

Here. Go have

Oh, no. No.
Buy yourself something nice.

Listen. You know I love you

You know that.

Yeah. I gotta go, okay?
I'll come back, okay?

I'll bring Michael.

I want you to meet him,

Will you do that? Please?
I will, Mom, I swear.

Hey.

Well, I set it up.

Selling all of it.
But not the ring.

No, not the ring.

When?

I'm meeting the guy tonight,

I wanna do this fast.

Scared we're gonna
get busted up here.

Pushing our luck.

Okay.

You can fantasize

How much do you want?

Thirty thousand for the jewels,
70,000 for the cars.

One hundred
thousand dollars.

[LAUGHS]

None of these items will be
reported stolen for a week.

You can clean the cars,

put a fresh coat of paint

Then why don't you
do it yourself?

Because I have bigger business
in Arizona.

I can take one of the cars,
maybe the Carrera--

I want the Carrera.
I love the Carrera.

I'm keeping the Carrera.

I love the German cars.

And I'll give you 50
