"Because she's 13 years old, jerk-off." " You want some of this ice cream or not?" " I'm not talking to you." "Oh, that's a shame." "I'll miss all those pleasant things you always say to me. "Hey, Dad, I hate you."" " It's chocolate chip, your favorite." " I don't care." "You're an asshole." "[CLATTERING THEN DOG BARKING]" "You know how I hate to waste food." "You wanna abuse me some more?" "Shock me." " I hardly ever hear the word "asshole."" " Oh, bullshit!" " Enough." "That's enough." " Bet you get it all the time!" " What'll you do, ground me some more?" " You want it, you got it." "Yes, sir, asshole." " You're grounded for a week." "Hey." " Just leave me alone!" "He thinks he's fucking Ward Cleaver." "You wanna talk like a trash-mouth?" "Wanna sound like your mother?" "Go ahead." "It's bad enough I gotta hear this shit all day, I gotta get it from you too?" "Joe, why don't you go easy on the girl, man?" "Don't tell me how to talk to my kid." "Come on, let me hear it." "Let me hear all the really juicy, dirty words." "God, you're such a fuckup." "[TURNS TV OFF]" "Damn it, Darian." "You are my daughter, you're in my house." "You will respect me." "You got that?" " Don't ever call me a fuckup." " Why shouldn't I?" "Mom calls you one all the time." "Your mother called me a fuckup?" "When?" " On the phone with Uncle Jay." " Uncle Jay?" "Oh, Christ." "I'm a fuckup, but Uncle Jay, now, there's a real stand-up guy." "Cheats on his taxes." "Surprised he's not doing time." "Go ask your mother why Mr. Wonderful is not in jail for tax evasion." " Because he doesn't fuck up." "SARAH:" "Darian." "Go to bed." "For 50 bucks, you could pay a guy to pull her fingernails out one by one." "Anything that much fun, I think I'd rather do it myself." "[COUGHS]" "Hey, I don't know about you, but I could use a drink." "Yes." "JIMMY:" "Oh, shit." "That's you?" "You were fucking Ward Cleaver." "Yeah, I was a regular Boy Scout." "You and the president." "Damn, hanging with the man." "That look like one of those cardboard cutout things you see in Venice Beach." "I once had my picture taken with Don Johnson like that." " You still got the picture?" " Nah, I threw it away." "[SIGHS]" "So are you gonna get a divorce, man?" "Shit, I don't know." "You don't like women much, do you, Joe?" "At least I liked the guy she was fucking." " He was my best friend." " Nah." "He was a scumbag private detective, man." "Man, all private detectives are scumbags." "Yeah, but that scumbag tried to get you killed." "Well, friends can't be perfect." "[SIGHS]" "I wish the sky wasn't blue I wish water wasn't wet and I wish I didn't still love my wife." "Ah." "Life sucks." " To Alex, the accountant." " Your accountant's name is Alex?" "No but he could have been." "Alex was my son." "I used to be married." "One Sunday, I'm away in Miami." "She couldn't come because she was eight months' pregnant." "Walking down La Brea Boulevard out of nowhere a pickup truck jumped a curb." "Pow." "Never knew what hit her." "She died." "But Alex lived for 17 minutes in an incubator." "He fell asleep had time for one dream and then he died." "I think about him all the time, man." "You know, I threw for 300 yards that day." "While my wife and kid were dying I had the game of my life." "Life sucks." " Hey, could I use your shower?" " Yeah." "Bathroom, down the hall, first door on the right." "[SHOWER RUNNING]" "JOE:" "Hey, Flash, I brought you a towel." "Hey." "This is what you were looking for in Cory's apartment?" "Huh?" "This what you were looking for?" " That's $1,000 worth of shit!" " Shut the fuck up!" "[TOILET FLUSHING]" "Get the fuck out of my house before I break your goddamn neck." "I use that shit to get by." "I don't use it." "I get by." " Get dressed and get out." " Oh, right." "I forgot." "I'm talking to Dudley-fucking-Do-Right." "[PANTING]" "Well, the shit happens real easy, man." "It starts out painkillers." "Using Demerol because your fucking knees are shot!" "Before you know it, you're chewing codeine with your pancakes." "And then a truck comes out of nowhere and you're talking to God, saying:" ""Hey, help me out, Big Guy." "I pay taxes." "I go to church." "What's with this dead-wife-and-kid shit?"" "But he ain't answering." "He ain't taking no calls that day." "Instead, I get a call from the fucking league." "And they're saying, "Hey, kid, your career's over."" "And I say, "Why?"" "Because I gambled." "Why is there a fucking injury report in pro football, huh?" "Nobody else has one." "Pro football does." "You know why?" "That's so the gamblers will have a fucking accurate spread!" "It's all business now." "They push you until you blow your fucking brains out!" "Just like Billy Cole did!" "Can't you see those fucking hypocrites took away my fucking life?" "When you're done feeling sorry for yourself, the front door's that way." "[SOFTLY] You bastard." "And then some." "Jimmy Dix." "Will you sign my card?" " I'm sorry I was so bitchy before." " Sure." " I guess your dad's pretty pissed, huh?" " Yeah, but he'll get over it." " You were only, like, his biggest hero." " Oh, yeah." "Since when?" "Since I was little." "You should've heard him. "Jimmy this." "Jimmy that." "Best quarterback in the game."" "When you got busted, he quit watching football." "Does he punch all his heroes?" " Good morning, Jimmy." " Who are you?" "How do you know my name?" " Now, this is the guy?" "Sure this is the guy?" " This is him." "This is the kid with the million-dollar arm, huh?" "He don't look like much." "I can't figure which of you looks the most like my dick."

"Now give me the bad news." "I just took a statement from Joe Hallenbeck's neighbor." "On the day he died, Mike Matthews came to Hallenbeck's house early in the morning to discuss a case." " That's what Hallenbeck says." "Okay." "So how come Hallenbeck's neighbor claims Matthews' car was parked there all night in the same spot?" "Why did he lie?" "Matthews is fucking his wife." "That's why the car was there." "Matthews was fucking Hallenbeck's wife." "Hallenbeck just got back into town, right?" "Christ." "Joe wasted the bastard himself." "He waltzed right out of my office." "I let the son of a bitch go." "Give me a chance, Ben." "I'll get him back." "Tommy." "Jesus." "[DOORBELL RINGS]" "JOE:" "You can go to a party when you're 17 years old, not before."

"Yes, officer." "As a matter of fact, there is." "Apparently, there are too many bullets in this gun." "Fingerprints." "Naughty boy, Joseph." "You just shot a policeman." "[DOG BARKING]" "[OVERLAPPING VOICES IN SLOW MOTION]" "Down!" "[GUNSHOTS]" "It's you, Daddy." "It's you, Daddy." " I think he's awake." " Make sure." "[CHUCKLES]" "[GROANING]" "Shit!" "I'm awake." "You nearly broke my wrist, man." " Milo warned us to watch out for this guy." " Fuck that!" "Fuck you." "Fuck that." "Look at him." "He's nothing." "Guy's a piece of shit." "You got a cigarette?" "A cigarette?" "Yeah, sure." "I got a cigarette." " You got a light?" " Yeah." "I got a light." "[LAUGHING]" "Hey, baby." "I thought you were tough." "See, Pablo?" "He's not so bad." "[GOON CHUCKLING]" "I seem to have dropped my cigarette." "May I have another?" "Sure." "Sure thing, buddy." "I'm gonna need a light." "If you touch me again, I'll kill you." "Boom-ba!" "Baby!" "[LAUGHS]" "Oh, baby." "Two for two." "We got a two for two." "Told you." "Jesus Christ." "You killed him." "You fucking-A killed him!" "He's dead!" "Is there a problem?" "PABLO:" "He just killed Chet, Milo." "He just killed him." "He put his fucking nose through his brain." "I needed a light." "Joseph, you don't disappoint me." "You took an awful risk." "Pablo here could've shot you dead." "If you wanted me dead, you'd have killed me already." "That's true." " Can we do a formal introduction?" " Who gives a fuck?" " You're the bad guy, right?" " I am the bad guy." "And I'm supposed to be trembling with fear?" " Something like that, yeah." " Fine." "I'll start trembling in a minute." "In the meantime, think I could have a drink?" "I don't see why not." "Pablo." "Take Chet's corpse out of here and fix Mr. Hallenbeck a drink." "MAN:" "Make that two." "Well, if it isn't Shelly Marcone himself." "Careful, son." "Just my friends call me Shelly." "You got friends?" "When did this happen?" "Boy, I'll give you this." "You sure are feisty for a fella in your position." "Milo, teach him some manners, will you?" "[GRUNTS]" "You touch me again, I'll kill you." "[GRUNTS]" "What fucking conspiracy are you talking about?" "What fucking conspiracy are you talking about?" "Hallenbeck is a fruit loop, okay?" "He's been after Senator Baynard for years." "Now, you want me to believe that the senator's mixed up in this?" "Look, I'm gonna say it again for the cheap seats, lieutenant." "I don't know where Joe Hallenbeck is!" "That's my fucking statement." "Write it down and shove it up your ass." "I could nail you for obstruction." "You couldn't nail a $2 whore." "Charge me with something or let me the fuck out of here!" "My husband did not kill a cop." "And aside from that, I can't help you." "May we go now?" "Can I have a minute with your mom in private, please?" " Pleasure." " Thank you." "Do you deny being involved in a sexual relationship with Michael Matthews prior to his death?" "JIMMY:" "Why am I calling?" "Because I had to hear your sweet voice." "And I need a favor." "No, it ain't like that." "No, it wasn't no liquor talking." "You're not fat." "You're just a whole lot of woman." "Now, do me a favor, big mama." "Senator Calvin Baynard." "He's a season ticket holder, right?" "I need you to punch up his address and tell me where you send the tickets." "Great." "Good girl." " Yeah, bye." "WOMAN:" "Bye." "Great." " Don't worry." "I'm gonna find your dad, okay?" " How?" "When in doubt, try the nearest bad guy." "Football is a dying beast, Joe." "No heroes left." "Not anymore." "Since old Sonny Werblin paid $400,000 to Joe Namath in '66 the son of a bitches have just gotten greedier." "God Almighty, when's it enough?" "Jesus, free agents." ""Give me, give me, give me."" "Now you got guys on PCP wigging out and shooting themselves on the field." "The American public is pisspot tired of it and they're changing the channel." "The ratings are down." "So you're gonna bribe some senators to legalize gambling." "Legalize sports gambling." "You see, with all the heroes gone legalized gambling is about the only thing that'll save the beast." "You follow me, Joe?" "We're talking about some big bucks here." "We're talking about billions." "That's nine zeroes, son." "I'm not your fucking son." "[CHUCKLES]" "Well, Joe, have you ever heard of the Senate's Commission to Investigate Gambling in Professional Sports?" " Is that who you're paying off?" " The commission's gonna vote next March." "I got every one in my hip pocket, except Senator Calvin Baynard." "I tried to bribe that son of a bitch, Joe." "He gave it back because it wasn't enough." " What's he want?" " Six million." "Or he'll go straight to the police." "I think it's just gonna be cheaper to kill that son of a bitch." "Taking off a U.S. senator is ballsy, even for an asshole like you." "You said it, Joe boy." "That's why we're gonna frame you for the senator's murder." "As chairman of the commission on sports gambling, I'll simply say this:" "I'm currently reviewing both sides of the issue with utmost care and scrutiny and will adopt a position based on my firm belief in what's best for the sport." "In the meantime I can't wait to get to the Coliseum to watch my favorite L.A. team kick hell out of Tampa Bay." "MAN:" "Cut." " Thank you, senator." " My pleasure." "Thank you." "Always a pleasure." "Okay." "Come on, Jimmy, think, think, think." "What would Joe do?" "He'd shoot everybody and smoke some cigarettes." "I don't have a gun." "I can't do that." "[IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE] Whoa!" "[CHUCKLES]" " How'd you get here?" " I hitched." "That's not what I meant." "I meant, how did you find me?" "My dad's a detective." "What can I say?" "You didn't cover your tracks." "You're easy to trace." " Just what I need." "Nancy-fucking-Drew." " I brought you this." " I figured you might need it." " Where did you get that?" "Stole it from my dad's closet." "He'd kill me if he found out." "You'll kill yourself first, you jerk." "Come on, take this ugly monkey and get out of here." " Go, get out." " Wait." " I wanna know what's going on." " Watch CNN." "Go." "[DOG BARKING]" "JIMMY:" "Oh, shit." "Those are the bodyguards from the picture." " So?" " They're leaving without the senator." "I have to follow them." "Now go." " I'm coming with you." " You can't come with me, Darian." "Go home." " Kiss my ass." " Darian." " Kiss my ass." "Is that clear enough?" " Fine." "You little brat." "We're just gonna follow them." "How dangerous can that be, right?" "Right." "[DARIAN LAUGHS]" "We're in position." "The senator's men are en route." "ETA, five minutes." "Damn, now where are they going?" "Let's find out." "Here." "I told you no guns, right?" "I hate guns." "Now, you stay here." "I'm gonna go look around." "Stay!" "Woof." "[PANTING LIKE A DOG]" "GOON:" "Six mil." " Excuse me." "Did any of you stupid shits bother to frisk this fuck?" "He could be a goddamn cop." "Will you frisk him, please?" "GOON:" "Take it easy, huh?" " It's okay." " Hand him the briefcase, Joseph." "[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]" "Nice suit." "That briefcase was loaded with explosives, wasn't it?" "Ten pounds of C-4 is on the way to the Coliseum right now." "It's ironic, don't you think?" "That this bomb's gonna be delivered to Baynard by his own personal bodyguards." "After his death the police will receive a photograph of you, Joseph handing over the briefcase, and blame you for the crime." "And they'll believe it too because they know what a fan of Baynard's you are." "Go fuck yourself." "Okay, now, that's not polite." "It's very abusive sounding." "What would you do, Joseph if somebody told you to go fuck yourself?" "Would you cut one of their eyes out?" " No." " No." "What would you do?" "Oh." "You think you're so fucking cool, don't you?" "You think you're so fucking cool." "Well, just once I would like to hear you scream in pain." "Play some rap music." "MAN:" "Come on, move." "[ANIMAL HOOTING]" "Hey, Flash." "Rescue attempt?" " Blow me." " You must be James." " James?" " He does that with everybody." " Calls me Joseph." " I trust you're alone." "No, I got the fucking Vienna Boys Choir with me." "What, is everybody stupid around here?" "Oh!" "Oh!" " Just you, kid." " Shoot them and bury them." " Scared?" " Shitless." "You?" " More or less." " Hey, Milo." "Hey, mister." "Do you like my puppet?" "Get this kid out of here." "[IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE] My name is Furry Tom." " I said, get out of here, kid." " No." "The kid stays." "[IN NORMAL VOICE] Can you make him talk?" "Huh?" "Go on." "Try." "Go ahead." "Take it." "Okay." "It's riddle time." "JOE [IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE]:" "Why did Mr. Milo cross the road?" "What the fuck?" "[IN NORMAL VOICE] I don't know." "Why?" "[IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE] Because his dick was stuck in a chicken." "[MEN LAUGHING]" "[COUGHING]" "[IN NORMAL VOICE] Fur ball?" "[IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE] Yeah." "Furry Tom thinks this is probably the first pussy a lot of you have seen in a long time." "Especially this fat fuck over here." "Where'd you get the suit, Grandpa?" "Gangsters "R" Us?" "[LAUGHING]" " Go, get out of here!" " Come on!" "[DARIAN SCREAMING]" " What the hell is she doing here?" " I followed him." "It's not his fault." " Goddamn it, I'm gonna kill you both." " Well, you're gonna have to stand in line." " Here, take this." " What am I gonna do with this?" "Point it at the bad guys and shoot!" "Get your head down." "Get down!" "Dad!" " Got any more bright ideas?" " Yeah, we're gonna go really fast." "Good idea." "Push this vile fuck off the road, man!" "Hang on." "Put your seat belts on!" "Yo, yo, this is bad." " Hang on." " This is very, very bad!" "[DARIAN SCREAMS]" "[SCREAMING]" "Are you all right?" "Let's go." "Come on." "Shit." "JIMMY:" "Shit." "Is there any chance these guys are still alive in there?" "Not now." "Hey, call the cops." "There's a bomb on the way to the Coliseum." "Senator Baynard's in danger!" "You got it?" "[DARIAN SCREAMS]" "Here." "Happy birthday." "Buy yourself a new pair of pants." "We gotta get that bomb before it gets to Baynard." "Got a car here?" " Hey." "You got a car?" " Yeah." " Give me the keys." " No way." " Give me the keys or I shoot the kid." " Daddy." "Shh." "Okay." "All right." "Are you all right?" "Let's go." "Come on." " You must be the dumbest guy in the world." " Why's that?" "You're trying to save the guy that ruined your career and avenge the death of the guy that fucked your wife." "The little girl said her dad's name is Joe Hollenbrooker." " What is it?" "Hallenbeck." " Hallenbeck." "He stole my car and said he's going to the Coliseum." "He stole my car." "He set my pool on fire." "The man is a lunatic." "Ah!" "[GUNSHOT]" "Give me 10 black-and-whites." "Hallenbeck is on his way to the Coliseum." "Joe, if we go any faster, we're gonna travel back in time." "There, middle lane." "JIMMY:" "Okay." "You pull up and I yell at them." " What?" " Pull up next to them, I'll yell at them." " That's the lamest plan I ever heard!" " Can we try it?" " Bulletproof glass." "They won't hear you." " What are you doing?" " Drawing them a picture." "JOE:" "What is that?" "JIMMY:" "A bomb." "Looks like an apple with lines." "They'll say, "Don't open the briefcase, it's full of fruit."" "You wanna draw the damn thing?" "[HORNS HONKING]" "Happy?" "Are you kidding me?" "Always criticizing my shit." "I can't do nothing right." "Oh, shit." "[SCREAMS]" "JOE:" "I forgot to tell you." " "Bom" means "fuck you" in Polish." " That's not funny, man."

"MARCONE:" "Come on, fellas, lose the guns." "Take off your coats." "Relax." "Give it up." "What do you think Baynard will do when he finds out you tried to kill him?" "Son, he doesn't have a chance." "Very shortly, my old buddy Milo will have him between the crosshairs of a high-powered rifle." "Where's old Milo shooting from?" "[LAUGHS]" "You just don't ever run out of questions, do you?" "Well, let's just say that Milo's in a highly enlightened position." "Why'd you kill Cory?" "She took to blackmail, Jim." "I have no truck with that." "Why, she's one of the sweetest little whores I ever tasted." "There's 5 feet of marble between me and you." "Maybe I make it, maybe I don't." "You call her "whore" again, I'm gonna find out." "Jimmy, Jimmy." "Do what you gotta do." "Take it easy, Jimmy." "He should know." "With a face like that, he's gotta be paying for it."

"You're bluffing." "JOE:" "You think I'm bluffing?" "I also have in my possession a certain tape of you and Senator Baynard." "Very juicy stuff." "Well, now, just let me guess." "If something happens to you that damn thing's gonna be mailed to the cops, isn't it?" "Close." "Actually, it goes to the Mob." "I'm sure they'd be very interested in hearing what you're up to." "Legalized gambling." "Hell, they stand to lose, what, two two and a half billion dollars?" "I'm sure they won't be upset about that." "It's just their entire bookmaking income." "So you go ahead and pull the trigger." "Be my guest." "Just don't be surprised if you wake up with a stallion head next to you, babe." "[LAUGHS]" "If you had that goddamn tape, you'd have already told me." "This ain't working, man." "Try something else." "Take your best shot." "Fuck you, Joe, I ain't going out like that!" "Mr. Marcone, he's lying." " We have the money, but it's not in the car." " Shut the fuck up!" " It's in a locker!" "And I got the key." " Where is the key, Jim?" "I got it stashed in my shorts." "Easy." "Just easy." " Give him that key, he'll kill you." " He's gonna kill us anyway, asshole." " You gotta promise to let me go." " Bullshit." "Give him the key or I'll have you kneecapped."
