"That's right, there can't be more than 20 of them registered down there." "It's easy to spot." "It's a very distinctive vehicle." "I don't know." "Try Washington." "Right." "Let me know." "Who are those guys?" "Witnesses." "They're helping me in an investigation." "Tell me about your charming wife." "She's 30 years old." "She's half Irish, half Jewish." "Don't get smart with me." "I want to know how to deal with her." "Is she the kind of broad who'd burn her husband and split with her boyfriend?" "Or is she the victim of circumstances?" "If you really want to know, I think she's pretty moral basically." ""Pretty moral basically." Oh, Jesus." "What a couple of yoyo's." "You're in a lot of trouble, my friend." "And so is you're crazy old lady." "If you help us, maybe I can let you walk." "Both of you." " You want me to help, huh?" " That's right." "What if I refuse?" "If you refuse?" "Well..." "There's always your little girl, what is it, Janey?" "What do you want me to do?" "I'll let you know." "You know our little friend in Saigon told me you were nuts, but she didn't tell me the half of it." ""Our little friend in Saigon?"" "Yes, Charmian." "We go back a long way." "Even a dipstick like you should have figured that out." "I'll let you know, John." "I'll sell you a key for 20." "I'll give you a rate for two." "I gotta tell you this comes as a complete surprise to me, fellow." "Not the sort of thing I would've expected from you, personally." "But that's the fucking war for you." "You could approach a small group of responsible people." "You want to sell scag the film industry, is that what you're saying?" "A dealer with a personal clientele like that is perfect for him." "Jesus, Ray." "You're in here with the big town with all that shit." "Doesn't it make your heart go pitty-pat?" "I'd be scared, man." "Am I talking to the right person, Eddie?" "Am I God, Ray?" "How would I know?" "Look at those kids, I want it." "I want it." "I sit still for every big creep in town." "Do me this, Eddie." "Do me that, Eddie." "Even you, man."

"I been associated with this guy." "He's English, he used to be a masseur." "He, uh, has a lot of goof-sie works." "He knows what everybody likes." "He might be the one." "No intrigues, Eddie." "Paranoia, Raymond?" "Whatever." "I'll put you in touch." " How about tonight?" " Tonight?" "Man, you must be desperate." "How's your friend?" "If I was smart I wouldn't even know him." "Are we scared?" "We don't know the meaning of scared." "Did you eat anything?" "No." "Do you want to call your kid?" "They can't trace one phone call." "Sure, I'll call her and say," ""Hi, honey. this is your mommy." ""She loves you very much"" ""but she has to go bye-bye."" "I know all about that call." "I can handle the rest of it." "It's what's in my head that's gruesome." "(CRYING)" "Okay, we're going to get you high." "Don't joke with me." "I'm not joking, come on!" "RAY:" "I don't know much about that stuff you've been taking." "So, I don't know what your tolerance is." "All right, snort it like coke." "Let's see if you get off."

"Oh, it's good." "Oh, right there." "In there." "Oh, great." "It does funny little things to you." "Do you remember last night?" "I remember everything with absolute clarity, since you walked in on me." "Not one funny little thing slips by me." "Do you believe me?" "What can I do?" "I gotta believe you." "(MOANS) Oh." "You know, I was really strung out there." "Don't brag about it, it's not such a tough condition." "(SIGHS)" "This isn't what you want, not really." "Maybe it is." "It's simpler than life." "I'm going to call Eddie." "Whatever's right." "(WHISTLING)" "Check and mate." "Where the fuck did that come from?" "I didn't even see that." "You got me." "You stupid little bastard." "You better learn how to play the game." "You hit my fucking bridge, man." "Tough tit." "Why don't you read a goddamn chess book for once in your life?" "I hate jailbird chess." "I hate the style." "Like a god dam little Tweety bird." "Oh, here's a move." "It's fucking degrading." "Plenty of guys who belt you when they lose." "Fucking Danskin, he wins and he hits you." "Where do you think I learned how to play the game?" "I learned it in the slammer, man." "I can't help that." "Hello there, you brought your samples with you?" "Did you make your contact?" "Who are you?" "The school teacher?" "It's the big dealer and the woman of mystery." "Well, come on in and say hello." "Oh." "Who the hell are you, Raymond?" "Buffalo Bill?" "You're going to love this guy." "Is that the Englishman?" "Patience, man." "Our hosts here are the nicest folks you'd ever want to meet." "Gerald and Jody, this is Raymond and..." " Marge." " EDDIE:" "Marge." " Hello." " Hello." "Sit down." "Is that the Englishman?" "Gerald's a writer." "And a hell of a writer at that." "Gerald, explain yourself to the man." "This may not be easy." "Well, you see, I've been fooling around with a project that concerns drugs." "I've done dope like a lot of people have." "I mean, I've smoked a lot of grass." "And I've had some beautiful things on acid." "RAY:" "Excuse me." "I want a word with your friend." "Wait for me." "It's all right." "Oh, please." "Come and sit down." "GERALD:" "Would you like some Chablis?" "What is this shit, Eddie?" "He wants to cop." "I thought you'd be amused." "I don't want this insanity, man." "Then you're stupid." "What you got to sell is a "No-No" around here." "For $6,000 I'll take it off your hands." "With a little imagination." "You could screw Gerald for a lot more." "You'd give me what?" "The guy's loaded, his wife's an heiress." "They've got no conception of money." " You said $6,000." " Take it easy." "Hey, Eddie." "I'll burn it before I'll take a fucking like this." "You'll take a fucking like you wouldn't believe." "You want to get hip man." "Now, I'm warning you." "You're doing me." "You're doing me." "Take your hands off me, cocksucker." "You nickel and dime asshole." "Don't you dare threaten me with violence." "You're way out of your league here, Jack." "You're not selling grass to college girls down here." "I'm doing you a favor." "You're too vain, Eddie." "You think so?" "I can lay this off for you." "Ain't nobody else can." "You don't have the bread." "Oh, yes, I do." "And when we're finished here we'll take a little ride, and do a little business." "Finished what?" "We're going to turn Gerald on and then he's going to do us a few favors because he's a nice cat and because we're going to make him scared." "We're going to put you into his life." "And then he's going to want everything back the way it was before." "You like it?" "Yeah." "I like it, Eddie." "And this is what I call narcotics paraphernalia, Eddie." "I got better than that, sweetheart." "I got some coke to run with it." "Ed's my absolute picture of the operator." "Mine too." "Raymond's the operator." "Not me." " JODY:" "But is Ed an addict, Gerald?" " GERALD:" "I don't know." "I didn't know he was an addict." "Yeah, Ed's an addict." "Ain't you, Ed?" "None of your fucking business." "Oh, shit, yes." "Oh, shit!" "(EXCLAIMING) Oh, Chihuahua." "Is it Mexican?" "(LAUGHING) Is it Mexican?" "She wants to know if it's Mexican." "Okay, who's next?" "What about me?" "It's gotta be you." "Unless you'd like to go first, darling." "GERALD:" "No, there's no reason you shouldn't." "Now you give me some place nice, eh?" "Gerald, I want to take her pants off." " Does he know what he's doing?" " Mmm-hmm." "Bend down." "That's real pretty." "Careful." "(GRUNTS IN PAIN)" "Oh, is that very good?" "(EXCLAIMING IN PAIN)" "No, that's enough." "Oh." "Oh." "Oh, Eddie, stop it." "Ouch." "Ouch." "I think you gotta do the rest, man." "I got to..." "I got to..." "Hey, I goofed." "(JODY CRYING)" "Okay." "Shall I take my pants down?" "No, sir." "You don't have to." "Sit down." "Hey, don't hit him in vein, Raymond." "Hey, Eddie." "I'm not gonna get him in the vein, man." "Don't look." "Oh, my God." "Eddie." "Eddie." "Help, my God." "Eddie, it's a vein." "Hey, Raymond." "Come on, Ray." "What are you doing, man?" "I told you not to hit the vein." "(CRYING)" "Hustle now, creep." "Let me see you hustle now." "Why did you do it, Ray?" "Why did you do it, Why?" "Your too vain, Eddie." "You're too vain to take a joke." "Good God." "Ray." "Why did you do it?" "Get your stuff." "We're getting out." " We've got to help them." " Come on." "We're going." " RAY:" "Let's get out." " MARGE:" "Ray!" "God help me, God!" "Get up, Gerald!" "Man, I want out of this fucking city." "What, were you trying to kill him?" "He's just a jerk with a dumb idea, the same as us." "Eddie Peace knows what to do." "He'll pull them through." "Why Gerald?" "'Cause he's a Martian." "They're all Martians." "And I'm a loyal American who fought for my flag." "Peace was fucking with me and I don't take shit from Martians." "In Vietnam I had men that were dead the day they hit that place." "In the morning they were in Hawaii, in the afternoon they were dead." " So fuck Gerald?" " That's right." "Fuck Gerald." "I was pissed off." "It seemed like a good idea." "Where are we going?" "South." "Now, for my first deal today, I'm going to give you...

"Do you think I do this for nothing?" "I get a crack at a job at the Agency after this." "Don't you have a record?" "That don't mean shit." "If Antheil says you're in, you're in." "I could really go for that." "You could be a second Antheil, right?" "What about Danskin?" "Does he want to work for the agency too?" "He's a brute, man." "Psycho."
