"I can't believe you kept it." "Mm-hmm." "Or found it." "Or replicated it." "I don't know with you." "No, I kept it." "Thank you." "So, farhad said you didn't work for a long time." "Yeah, a couple years." "Just didn't feel right." "I even reached out to my dad." "I hadn't seen him in years." "I asked him if he'd ever gone straight before." ""Of course." "I go straight every time I'm on parole."" "Oh." ""Now drink a cup of concrete." "Man up."" "Solid advice." "Yes." "Mm." "How's that working out?" "Well, thought I was ready to work." "Then the girl walked in." "Why are you going to all this trouble, Nicky?" "What do you want from me?" "I can convince anyone of anything." "I once convinced a man that an empty warehouse was the federal reserve." "So I'm good." "Yeah." "You're the best." "But what I really want is to tell you that I've changed." "And tell you that I am sorry." "I just want you to believe me." "You know I want to believe you." "I want to believe you." "I'm different now." "I have to be getting back." "I can't do this." "I'm sorry." "Muevete." "You all right?" "What happened?" "I don't want to talk about it." "Did he do somethin' to you?" "No." "Jess, did he put his hands on you?" "Tell me what happened."

"Sarcasm." "Another pillar of your generation." "You want to tell somebody to fuck off, tell 'em to fuck off." "Don't say, "gee, what a great jacket."" "It's weakness." "That is a messy bed." "Yeah, I don't sleep well." "Someone here, son?" "Who you callin' "son"?" "You know why you don't sleep well?" "No, tell me." "You with your iPhones and your smart phones and your laptops and computers." "All of which produce nothing but a barrage of useless information." "Fucking Twitter." "As if anyone actually cares that you're eating a Turkey sandwich for lunch." "Sorry..." "Panini." "Sarcasm?" "Satire." "Fuckin' panini." "Look, um..." "Are we done?" "You might be." "Who'd you pick up at the airport?" "What, garriga has you fuckin' following me?" "I got people there." "My computer guy." "Why?" "Is there a problem?" "There won't be because he's fucking here." "I got a little red hair on my taint that tickles when somethin's afoot." "And lately," "I've been scratching my nethers like a fuckin' macaque." "Okay." "Look, there's no reason for anybody to panic and start gettin' bent out of shape because we're getting to the end." "Nice day." "Nicky!" "How the fuck did you do--?" "Oh, god." "Back here. 7:00." "Okay." "Uh, guess your taint was wrong." "Enough of the pleasantries." "Hey, nice jacket." "Fuck off." "It's real." "Gordon?" "Gordon!" "Fuckin' you, mate." "You're my new fuckin' favorite person, fella." "I-I fuckin' swear you're fuckin' six inches fuckin' taller and twice as fuckin' handsome since you walked in here!" "There ya go, son!" "Lap it up." "My pleasure, Mr. mcewen." "I wish you the best of luck." "Friends like you, who needs luck?" "Now fuck off!" "Yes?" "Mr. garriga." "How did it go?" "It's done." "Good."

"I can't believe it." "Oh, that's so rich from you." "So rich from you." "That's what you want to say to me right -- yeah, 'cause there's always a job." "Are you sure?" "Always a job!" "'Cause I just tried to save your life!" "By lying!" "'Cause you're always lying, Nicky!" "I don't know when you're telling the truth!" "And now we're dead!" "Fuck." "She's right." "You're right." "I'm..." "Here's the thing about lying." "Here's the problem -- fucks up all your options." "Paints you into a corner." "What the fuck you talkin' about?" "Are you out of your mind?" "And then you're forced to do some really dumb shit." "You want to die?" "Well, if I die, I want to die telling the truth." "And if I lie, I want to lie like normal people lie." "I want my wife to say, "hey, honey." "Do I look fat in these jeans?"" "And I want to say," ""no, sweetie." "You look terrific." "You should wear those."" "That's how I want to lie." "But this..." "If I'm done..." "I'm gonna tell the truth." "So, Mr. garriga, I'm gonna tell you the truth." "And you are not gonna like it at all." "About a year ago, I pick up the phone -  what are you --?" "!" " Nicky?" "!" "What the fuck are you doing?" "!" "I couldn't take another fucking word." "Oh, shit!" "You're next honey." "No!" "Are you crazy?" "Look at me." "What the hell were you thinking?" "Huh?" "Fuck you!" "Now somebody's hurt." "You're fine." "You know what?" "I have nothing to do with this." "Nicky, look at me." "Look at me." "It's okay." "This is your mess." "It's okay." "Hey." "You clean it up." "Nicky..." "And keep me out of it." "Gah!" "Shh." "I don't know what to do." "Please, please, please." "Stay with me." "Stay with me." "No, no, no, no." "No." "Look at me." "Look at me." "Look at me." "It's fine." "It's fine." "Nicky, look at me." "Look at my eyes." "I love you, okay?" "I love you." "Please." "Please don't do this." "Please." "Please." "I trust you." "I" "you cannot leave me again." "Please do not leave me again." "Please." "No!" "Aah!" "What the fuck?" "!" "You want him to fuckin' die?" "What kind of a piker are you, for chrissakes?" "!" "Oh, shit!" "Didn't he tell you I was on the inside?" "Jesus." "You must be terrified." "It's gonna be okay." "He is not gonna die." "Do you hear me?" "He is not gonna die." "Probably." "You see, you shoot between the third and the fourth rib, just about eleven o'clock off the left nipple." "Here." "Hold pressure on that." "Hold pressure on that." "Okay." "That misses the heart and the major arteries." "It does, however, puncture the lung." "Let me in." "There we go." "Is this Toledo panic button?" "Oh, maybe you're not such a piker after all." "Left untreated, you got about ten minutes before you drown in your own blood." "But..." "You patch it up..." "You account for the cavity pressure..." "Ohh." "Ha." "Oh, god." "And then..." "There we go." "There we go." "There we go." "There's my boy." "Oh, Jesus." "There's my boy." "Ahh." "Are you okay?" "Here, honey." "Here." "Hold on to that." "Hold on to that." "You're okay?" "You keep your eye on that." "If he can't breathe, you pull the plunger again, okay?" "Okay." "Good lord, I cannot believe that you made me shoot you." "Are you okay?" "And then for what?" "So that you can make cow eyes at some race skank!" "She is not a race skank!" "I'm not a race skank!" "You die with the lie, mellow, and you still just might." "Oh, fuck you." "Jesus h." "Christ." "Don't call me "mellow."" "You're his dad?" "In the loosest fuckin' possible terms." "I'm bucky, by the way." "You know, I like you, honey." "You can take a punch." "God." "And there it is." "Well, I tell you what, you steal us a car, and I'll gather up the money." "I can't steal a car." "I've been workin' for this prick spaniard for three years, and he's got a guy at mcewen and doesn't tell me?" "What the hell ever happened to trust?" "Are we almost there?" "I bust my ass to get you that exr crap and -- agh!" "And then the girl walked in." "Don't be an asshole." "That any way to talk to your father?" "You're not my father." "You walked away." "I took you off the street." "Taught you my trade, I taught you my passion." "Three generations of skills." "And in spite of all my earnest efforts, in spite of all my hard work, you turned into a good person." "Well, I just -- go figure." "And I left you on the street for a good goddamn reason." "Because I was soft." "Oh, that just shows what you know, you dumb son of a bitch." "We had a good thing goin'." "And then one day, like seven years in, we're running this poker deal in Boston and a guy pulled a gun." "Fucking gun!" "Glock." "First time I'd ever seen one." "And I'm just -- I'm " " I'm paralyzed." "And all I could think about was the kid." "And I-I walked and I never looked back." "Love'll get you killed in this racket." "No place for that shit here." "No happiness with that." "You know how they say there's honor among thieves?" "Well, you're no thief, mellow." "You made your choice." "So I'm taking the money." "All of it." "Mnh-mnh." "Mm-hmm." "Well, that explains a lot." "Yeah, that's dad." "Oh." "No!" "Yep!" "No!" "Yep!" "See you at Christmas." "One, two, ready?" "Okay, that's good, that's good." "Okay, almost there." "I don't know what we're gonna do now." "Oh..." "We'll be fine." "How?" "Trust me." "Ooh." "Ahh." "I got you."
