"This is it, Eddie." "A one-way trip to Vegas." "The city that never sleeps." "I thought that was New York." "Vegas, Eddie." "There's no gambling in New York." "Yeah..." "I think..." "We should've turned left by now." "I think we passed it already." "I think it's..." "Eddie." "You got one job." "One." "Reading the map and telling me where to turn." "That sounds like two jobs." "Navigating, Eddie." "It falls under the job title of navigating." "If you didn't want the job, you should've told me up-front." "I did." "I said, "I want to drive and let you navigate..."" "and you said, "No!"" "Do you smell something?" "Yeah." "A shitty navigator." "I gotta take a piss." "You know what I'm thinking, Eddie?" "I think Spider made the mistake." "I mean, we followed his map to the letter." "Frank?" "Have you ever had a day that you knew was gonna be great?" "I mean, life-changing great?" "Frank?" "And nothing could do anything to change it?" "Holy shit!" "This is not one of those days." "Hey, Muzzy!" "Get your head on, boy!" "Get it on right now." "Whoo-hoo!" "Whoo!" "Whoo-hoo!" "Whoo-hoo-hoo!" "Shit!" "Whoo-hoo!" "The Lord bless her and keep her." "The Lord make his face to shine upon her and be gracious to her." "The Lord lift up his countenance upon her... and give her his peace." "Amen." "Amen." "What the hell is this?" "Hey..." "It's a flask." "What are you, the Duke of Turkey?" "Ah, you know." "My dad left it to me." "He used to... he used it to... remind me." "Boy, how he'd remind me... not to become what he was." "Which was what?" "A... uh... functioning' alcoholic." "Eddie, it's 11:00 in the morning." "Yeah." "Well..." "I guess it's working." " Isn't that Thomas Harkness?" " Who?" "Thomas Harkness." "He owns, uh, Eagle Lake Trucking Company." "He's the richest guy in town." "Well..." "They don't give me no Bible before I dig the hole." "Yeah, well, that's probably, uh..." "Probably his wife you dug a hole for." "They just found her in the lake a couple days ago." "Why would you tell me something like that?" "You know I still have to dig that hole." "Eddie, you gotta stop getting so emotionally involved in your work." "Well, I like my job." "Yeah?" "Well, I quit mine." "You quit?" "Why?" "That job was for losers, Eddie." "I got bigger plans." "Remember?" "Yeah." "God, I still can't get over the size of this thing." "Yeah." "Seems extravagant to me." "That's your problem, Eddie." "You think small." "If that was my wife, I would've built her a pyramid... to show the world how rich I was." "Yeah." "That's why this meeting with Spider is so important." "One big score, and it's Vegas, Eddie." "We can finally scrape this little nowhere town off our feet." "Isn't Vegas in the middle of nowhere?" "All right, you wait here." "And don't talk to anybody." "OK, OK." "Anybody asks, we were late 'cause we got a flat." "Right." "Good, good, good." "I have a good feeling about this, Eddie." "Don't mess it up." "Right, right, right." "And don't drink anything." "All right." "Here we go." "You're late." "I'm really sorry." "I had a little bit of car trouble." "You know why people are afraid of spiders?" "Uh... 'cause they're ugly?" "Reputation." "Some of them are harmless." "Some of them can kill you with a single bite." "I gotta be honest." "I don't do too good with spiders." "That's because you don't know the difference." "So you expect the worst." "What kind is it?" "That is an Australian barking spider." "One bite will kill a dog in 20 minutes." "You, probably take an hour." "But it's cool if you're cool." "All bark and no bite, huh?" "Barks like a dog." "Right before it bites you." "Shit!" "All right." "All right." "You got me." "Muzzy..." "Did you bring a truck?" "Yeah." "Eddie's got it outside." "Eddie?" "Eddie the idiot?" " No, no." "Eddie the grave digger." " Yeah." "Eddie "The Idiot" grave digger." "Look, he's my partner in this." "I mean, it's his truck." "He's... don't worry." "Eddie's cool." "We had a flat." "That's why we was late." "We had a flat." "Spider wants you to drive the truck around back." "Around back." "No problemo." "I'll meet you there." "All right." "OK." "OK." "You know what that is?" "Uh..." "It's a carton of cigarettes, Muzzy." "Yeah, uh..." "I know." "I just..." "I thought..." "Muzzy, listen." "What if I told you that I could take these across the border and sell them... and not pay Uncle Sam one dime for my trouble?" "Well, I'd say, drive to Mexico." "See, I knew you were the right man for the job." "Here's the deal." "You make the run... you're in just 10 percent." "10 percent." "Got it." "Wait." "How much is that exactly?" "Let's call your end... 25 Gs." "25 Gs?" "You will follow this map to a tee." "You will be back no later than tomorrow night." "You will not go sniffing around for cheap Mexican pussy." "You are on my clock now." "No problem." "I'm all business." "Anything else?" "Yeah." "Fuck this up, and I'll kill you." "Right." "Eddie, what the hell did you do?" "Nothing." "I didn't do anything." "One job, Eddie." "One." "Transportation." "Everything else was mine." "I thought it was navigating." "Navigating, transportation... it's the same thing, Eddie." "What are we gonna do now?" "Spider's gonna kill us." "Well... maybe he'll understand." "I mean, I mean... the truck blew up." "It's... it's..." "It's like a tornado." "It's not your fault." "Eddie, the truck blew up with $250,000 worth of his merchandise." "What are the odds?" "I don't know." "You know, not good?" "Not good?" "I would bet my fucking house on a pig flying out of your ass first." "You don't own a house." "Hypothetically." "Well..." "Eddie, I don't..." "I'm a lucky guy." "Lucky guys don't have trucks blow up on them." "We could've been in it." " You're right." " Yeah." "Like I said, I'm lucky." "That's right." "And smart, too." "You're smartest guy I know." "Yeah." "See?" "Nothing to worry about." "That's right." "Do I look worried?" "See that, Eddie?" "Luck." "Hey!" "That's my car!" "Who is that?" "That's the bitch who got me fired." "God, she was hot." "So what kind of car is this?" "Oh, this... uh, 1964 Buick Le Sabre." "Tip-top inside and out." "Yep." "She's a real classic." "Maybe we should take it for a spin... and negotiate a price." "You read my mind." "I'm good at that." "What?" "I'm feeling lucky." "What about you?" "I'm the luckiest guy I know." "Oh." "I forgot my bag." "Oh, shit." "I'll get it." "Boss?" "No matter how often I see that..." "I am never not impressed." "Tiny, meet Amber and Brandy." "Our new bartenders." "Go with that young man right there." "He's gonna take care of you." "What?" "Muzzy should've had his accident by now." "Do you want me to make the call?" "No." "Wait till morning." "Somebody will have found them by then." "Go away." "So, uh..." "Now what are we gonna do?" "We're gonna lay low till I think of something." "I'm gonna give you a nice, big, fat, little tummy." "You ready?" "'Cause here it comes." "One, two, three." "Oh, that looks beautiful." "Hey, Ma." "What are you doing up so early?" "I'm stuffing my beaver." "What does it look like I'm doing?" "Uh, listen, Ma." "Uh, Eddie and I have to stay here for a while." "There's a... a guy looking for us." "So we're not here, OK?" "You think this is a witness protection program?" "Come on, Ma, I got nowhere else to go." "All right." "All right, all right, all right." "But I ain't no maid." "I don't cook, I don't clean." "And you." "You stay away from my booze." "And you keep the noise down." "And you put the toilet seat up." "Thanks, Ma." "And no girls!" "Shit." "Shit." "We'll be safe here for a while." "I've never been in your room before." "It's nice." "Who's this?" "My brother." "I didn't know you had a brother." "I don't." "Where was this?" "What's with all the questions?" "Are you interviewing me or something?" "Where is he now?" "He's dead." "All right?" "Now just give it a rest, please." "I'm trying to think here." "Sorry." "I didn't know." "Shit." "I wonder if I dug his hole." "What are you talking about?" "The cemetery." "I could've dug the hole that he was buried in." "You know, I kind of feel a connection... through people that I dig holes for... so if I dug his hole... that could give us a connection... through your brother's hole." "Do you have any idea... of how fucked up that sounds?" "People spend the rest of their lives in my holes." "I'm kind of like a subterranean architect." "Build upside down." "To me, every man is a King Tut." "Every woman, a Cleopatra." "You dig holes." "Like an ant, or a mole, or a gopher." "You don't build anything." "Yeah, well..." "Neither do you, Frank." "If I was a judge... you would win the beauty contest hands-down." "Paws down." "Can you hear me?" "I see you, you moron." "He didn't think I saw him, but I did." "Did you?" "I don't think your Ma likes me." "She doesn't like anybody." "Don't worry about it." "Well, I don't think she likes me... a little more than everybody else." "Listen..." "I-I didn't mean what I said before about you digging holes." "Ah, I know you didn't." "You was just upset about your brother." "I'm sorry he died." "He's not dead, Eddie." "He left." "He went to Vegas." "Said he was gonna be back to pick me up." "That was 15 years ago." "So, we're OK then?" "Of course we are." "Man... rich people." "Look at this." "Remember that woman you buried yesterday?" "Yeah." "God, she looks like royalty." "Look at the string of rocks on that." "You know what I could do with something like that, Eddie?" "You know what we could do if we had some..." "We wouldn't be here if we had something like that." "I know." "I saw them." "They're beautiful." "What are you talking about?" "Well, I mean, I was just saying... they're... they're pretty." "No, no." "What do you mean... you... you... you saw them?" "Today at the wake." "She was wearing them." "They're real, real beautiful." "See, Eddie." "What have I been saying?" "Lucky." "I don't like this, Frank." "What's not to like?" "We dig her up, grab the necklace, and bury her again." "It's not like she's gonna miss it." "I never dug anybody up before." "Think of it like a visit." "We're gonna pop in and say hello." "What if she's not dead?" "Well, I guarantee she'll be glad to see us." "Yeah." "You ready?" "OK." "Get to work." "I'll hold the flashlight." "It's a straight up deal, Eddie." "The jewelry for the struts." "Right." "Unless, of course, Spider fences the jewelry... and it's worth more than the cigarettes." "Then we'll deduct the loss of the cigarette incident... and split the difference." "Or better yet, I'll fence it myself." "I've got a real bad feeling about this." "Oh, great." "Oh, no." "There's no necklace, Eddie." "I can't find it." "Give me a hand." "Eddie, give me a hand." "No." "Eddie..." "Oh, great." "Oh, no." "Eddie..." "Give me a hand." "This is not good." "There's no jewelry, Eddie." "There's..." "Nothing." "That cheap bastard." "She looks like she could be sleepin'." "Oh, no." "What?" "What's, oh, no?" "It's Randolph." "The night watchman." "Eddie, what do you mean the night watchman?" "I forgot about him." "Oh, shit!" "Quick." "Dig the hole." "What?" "Get... dig the hole, Eddie." "Oh, shit." "Who's there?" "Oh..." "Hey, Randolph." "Eddie?" "Man, what the hell are you doing out here this late?" "Well, I never finished filling the Harkness hole." "You know, I went off, got myself some drinks... and almost forgot about the whole thing." "You sound like me." "Yeah, well..." "You know." "Hey, hey, hey, Eddie." "Pace yourself." "You're gonna end up in that hole with her." "Well, you know... don't worry about me, Randolph." "Hey, why don't you go out, and, uh... you know, get yourself a drink?" "That's a good idea, Eddie." "Don't mind if I do." "Right, right." "No, I meant, you know... go out... somewhere... and get yourself a drink." "Relax." "Things are a little dead around here anyway." "Come on, Eddie." "Yeah." "He's asleep." "Let's get out of here." "Well, we got to put her back." "Eddie, what are you gonna do, dig the hole again?" "I don't know." "Just hold her a minute while I get the car." "No." "I don't want her." "Eddie, just take her a minute." "Eddie, you get the body, I'll get the car." "Well..." "Why I always have to do the dirty work?" "Shit..." "This is not good." "This is not good." "Eddie, just help me put her in the back." "Look, I am not..." "I am not driving with her bouncing around... with the shovels back there." "She's dead, Eddie." "She's not gonna care where she's riding." "Look at her." "She's obviously a woman with class." "This is not good." "This is not good." "It's not right to put her back there alone." "You know what, Eddie?" "You're right." "So, now what are we gonna do?" "Sleep." "We got a big day tomorrow." "Where am I supposed to sleep?" "Wherever you want, Eddie." "Shh." "You're dead." "Does this feel like I'm dead?" "What's the matter?" "Don't you like me, Eddie?" "Yeah." "Then show me." "Come on, Eddie." "Show me." "Come on, Eddie." "Come on." "Come on, Eddie." "Let's go!" "Christ, what's the matter with you?" "I thought she was, uh..." "Up and on me." "You know, you're really starting to worry me." "I'm OK." "I'm up." "Eddie, I need to know I can count on you." "I'm all right." "What's up?" "I need to make a call... and you need to baby-sit your girlfriend here." "Whatever you do, make sure Ma doesn't see her." "You're not leaving me alone here with her." "Relax." "Ma never comes upstairs anymore." "No." "I'm talking about her." "What, are you worried she's gonna make a break for it?" "Eddie, listen to me." "We're both ass-deep in this." "So unless you got a better plan or a butt-load of cash... you better pull it together." "OK." "All right." "OK." "OK." "OK." "And think about taking a shower." "Uh, yes, I'd like to talk to Thomas Harkness." "Uh, my name is, uh, Darryl..." "It's of a personal nature." "I'm sorry, what's your name?" "OK, Kathy, uh, here's the thing." "I've got some personal business with, uh, Mr. Harkness... that he, uh, won't understand until he talks to me." "Now, if you'll just explain that to him..." "I'm sure he'll get on the phone and we'll..." "Hello?" "Hello?" "God damn it." "It's OK to like me, Eddie." "Yes?" "Come on." "Why is this door locked?" "Uh, I was just, uh..." "I'm not dressed, Mrs. Muzzy." "Come on." "You got something I ain't seen before?" "No." "Everything's normal." "Where's Frankie?" "He had to make a call." "I mean, uh... he had some meeting... you know, some business things." "What is that smell?" "Uh... well..." "I was just getting ready to take a shower, Mrs. Muzzy." "Look, Kathy, I didn't want to do this, but just tell him I kidnapped his wife." "Yeah." "Yeah, I'm aware of that." "Hold on." "Damn it." "Yeah?" "Your Ma's on to us." "She smells something." "You have one job, Eddie." "One job." "I'm out here doing everything else." "Just keep Ma out of the room, OK?" "I'm doing business." "Just take care of it." "Shit." "Let me explain something to you, darling." "I know she's dead." "We dug her up last night, OK?" "So just... if you'll explain that to your boss..." "Hello?" "Hello?" "God... shit!" "Think, Eddie." "Think." "Find the stink." "And eradicate." "Listen, you tell him he's a cheap bastard who..." "Who what?" "M-m-Mr." "Harkness?" "Speaking." "Oh, l-look who finally decided to come to the phone." "Who is this?" "Listen, I've got your wife, and if you ever want to see her again... it's gonna cost you a quarter of a million dollars." "She's dead, you jackass." "I know that." "Hello?" "Shit!" "Fine." "You wanna do this the hard way?" "Then the hard way it is." "Go on and get me Spider." "Eddie, what the hell are you doing?" "Nothing." "She's naked!" "She's not naked." "What, are you airing her out?" "No." "I'm washing our clothes." "Don't do it, Eddie." "There are some things a man does that haunt him for the rest of his life." "And all of them involve a woman." "What are you talking about?" "You think I don't know what you're thinking?" "You think I don't see how you look at her?" "I would never do anything to this girl." "You're lucky she's not naked." "She looks very familiar to me." "What do you mean?" "I've seen this girl before." "Are you telling me Harkness was married to a stripper?" "I'm telling you that I would not forget an ass like this." "That's just beautiful." "What?" "What's the matter?" "We got a situation here, Eddie." "I'm in the middle of a very sensitive negotiation with her husband." "So?" "Eddie, would you marry a stripper who would stick her ass in your face?" "I don't think I'd marry a stripper who wouldn't stick her ass in my face." "That's my point." "The wife of a wealthy, powerful man... doesn't have her ass stamped in the memory of guys like you." "I am telling you, I have had this ass in my face before." "What the hell are you doing?" "Uh, yeah..." "I was just, uh, doing the wash." "Where's your bra and panties, Francis?" "Oh, this?" "This is Eddie's." "I would've pegged you for the bitch." "We gonna be gone long?" "Does it matter, Romeo?" "Eddie..." "Let me do the talking in there." "I don't want anyone getting suspicious." "All right." "What can I get you guys?" "Uh, two Shiners, please." "Eddie, stay sharp." "Keep your eyes open." "No problem." "Don't say anything to anybody about Spider." "Spider's not here tonight." "What?" "I mean, what makes you think we're looking for Spider?" "I just heard you say his name." "Are you friends?" " No." " Yes." "We do a little business from time to time, you know." "Right." "Eddie, why don't you go invest in the local economy." "Look, I'm real sorry about my friend there." "He..." "He gets a little confused sometimes." "So, uh, how long you been working here?" "About 4 years." "Wow. 4 years." "You must really like it." "Oh, yeah." "I love it here." "It's what I've always wanted to do." "Hey, Eddie." "Oh, hi." "It's, uh, good..." "Mind if I sit?" "Yeah." "That would... sure." "Be great." "I guess, uh, it's... it's good to see you." "Listen, uh, can I ask you something?" "I don't drink, I don't strip..." "And I don't date people I meet in here." "No, no, no." "Nothing like that." "It's just, uh..." "My friend, uh, remembered seeing a dancer here." "A while back." "Good for him." "He was hoping she'd still be here." "Blonde hair, tattoo." "A red spider tattoo." "Right about here?" "You think that's funny?" " What?" "No, no." "I just..." " Billy?" "No, I didn't mean..." "She's dead, you idiot." "I know she's dead." "That's actually why we're here." "You got a problem, Nat?" "Yeah." "Get this guy out of here." "I didn't..." "You know, all these times we've talked..." "I don't even..." "I don't even know what you do." "Oh, well..." "I'm a... subterranean architect." " Really?" " Yeah." "That's..." "My father is a grave digger down at Oakland Valley." "Wow." "Hey!" "What about my friend?" "Mean-Eyed Pussy Cat." "Yeah, I'm the guy who just got thrown out." "Can you please put my friend on?" "Yeah." "It's for you." "Oh." "Hello?" "Oh... hi, Frank." "Yeah, I'm just, uh... sitting here... talking to Natalie." "The bartender?" "Why didn't she throw you out?" "Well, she... she was gonna... but I explained to her about Crystal." "Eddie, you didn't tell her we dug her up, did you?" "No." "I told her about... your concern about... her relationship with Harkness." "Are you crazy?" "And now, she's gonna meet up with us after work... and she's gonna talk with us about it." "Eddie, don't say another word, do you hear me?" "Don't say another word." "Keep your mouth shut!" "Bottom's up." "Remember when we got here?" "And we said we'd be out of here within 6 months?" "Oh, yeah." "Whatever happened to that plan?" "Oh, I don't know." "I guess things happen when you marry the richest man in town." "Yeah." "Well..." "You still looking to get out of here?" "Only every day." "Why?" "Because I think I might've found a way to make that happen." "But I gotta talk to Spider first." "I think Harkness killed her." "What do you mean, killed her?" "She drowned in Deep Lake." "He had a rock-solid alibi." "Then he had her killed." "If he could afford to pay her off in a divorce... why would he kill her?" "You obviously don't know Harkness." "Or Spider." "Wait." "Crystal was one of Spider's girls?" "Yeah." "He got her into stripping." "Did Harkness know what she did?" "That's where they met." "He fell in love with her the minute he laid eyes on her." "That's a beautiful story." "Why can't I find romance like that?" "Because you don't have $50 million." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey." "It wasn't about the money." "She loved him because he didn't just see a naked body dancing in front of him." "He saw her for who she really was." "What, was he blind?" "Hey." "Hey." "Look, I'm sorry." "I didn't mean any disrespect." "I just didn't think a guy like Harkness... would've married a stripper, that's all." "She wasn't just a stripper." "She was a beautiful person." "And she had a huge heart and a love for life, and..." "And she married an asshole who killed her... and nobody cares." "I care." "You're talking about murder." "We're not cops." "I'm just not sure exactly what you want." "Help." "How?" "Eddie said he has a friend who might know something." "Yeah, it's me." "Guess who I'm staring at." " Entertain me." " Frank Muzzy." "Eddie?" "The idiot?" "Yeah, yeah." "He's here, too." "Just follow them." "You was a little light on the drop, Spider." "Yeah." "We had a little accident with the shipment." "Truck burned up." "Cargo, driver, everything." "Well, I'm real sorry to hear that." "But I don't see as it changes anything." "No cigarettes, no money, OK?" "I don't get paid, you don't get paid." "Now, your risk is your risk and my risk is mine." "Here now, I'm not gonna give you another lecture on personal responsibility." "You owe me some money," "And you best pay it up." "It's amazing, isn't it?" "You dig up a beautiful body... and all her secrets come with her." "Whatever." "Look, the sooner we get the money... the sooner we can put the stupid corpse and its little secrets back in the ground." "Don't talk about her like that." "Just because she's dead... doesn't mean you have to call her stupid." "Eddie, what's the matter with you?" "She's a victim." "She was killed, and we kidnapped her." "She's dead." "And to be honest..." "I don't like the way you've been looking at her." "I look at her with respect." "You look at her like you want to fill her ass with trail mix... and start a scavenger hunt." "That is sick, Frank." "You know I hate trail mix." "Shit!" "Did you see that?" "Somebody crashed back there." "We should go back and see if they're OK." "They're fine, Eddie." "How do you know they're OK?" "'Cause unless they owe Spider a quarter of a million dollars... and have a corpse under their bed... they got less troubles than us." "Which means, they're fine." "We don't have time for this, Eddie." "You promised Natalie we'd talk to Herman." "If this guy knew something, he would've said it before they buried her." "Yeah, well, you know." "He's here." "Eddie, what are you doing here?" "Um, I need to talk to you." "Well, I'm kind of busy right now." "Well, it's about Crystal Harkness." "Who's he?" "Uh, it's all right." "He's with me." "All right." "Come on." "I'm with you." "Shit." "Looks like we interrupted more than work." "No." "I was just about to give her a routine once-over, is all." "Can I show you something?" "Yes." "No." "Wow..." "That's mine." "Do you want some?" "Uh... yes." "Uh, no." "Eddie." "Great." "Thank you." "Cheers." "Is that not the saddest thing you have ever seen?" "23 years old." "Well-proportioned." "Excellent muscle tone." "Very athletic." "I like to think..." "Gymnast." "Wh-what's this on her chest?" "Oh." "That would be a bullet hole." "Oh, wow." "Her husband shot her, believe it or not." "Wow." "You'd think with a body like this... he'd have the decency to shoot her in the back of the head." "Right." "Come her." "Feel this." "Put your finger in there." "Uh..." "Eddie, shouldn't you... be wearing gloves or something?" "I am wearing gloves." "I gotta make a call." "Can I use the phone?" "Sure." "It's back through there." "OK?" "All right." "Now go ahead." "He's got this weird thing about dead people, you know, so..." " Well, OK." " OK." "Hi." "Now, how do I tell... who is Amber and who is Brandy?" " Taste." " Taste." "I'll get it." "# Start to talk shit... #" "Who do I taste like?" "Amber." "What?" "Wrong answer." "What?" "Uh, Spider?" "Uh, yeah, it's, uh, Frank Muzzy." "Where are you?" "Uh, the morgue." "Hey, you think that's funny?" "I could make that your permanent address." "It's cool." "Believe me." "I just..." "I just had a little trouble with the truck... but it's... it's nothing I can't handle." "I don't give a shit." "I want my money tonight, or you're dead." "And that goes for the moron, too." "Give me good news." "Yeah." "I lost them." "Crystal Harkness drowned, that's for sure." "But not in the way that people think." "Well, what do you mean?" "The chemical content of the water extracted from her lungs... didn't match the sample from the lake." "There was an excess amount of calcium hydrochloride." "What's that?" "Swimming pool cleaner." "Did you tell the cops that?" "It's in my report." "But I don't think anyone really cared." "You hear that, Baretta?" "Nobody cares." "Investigation over." "Let's get out of here." "Now wait a minute, Frank." "I care." "You know, Crystal... she... she didn't deserve what she got." "Eddie, you're beating a dead horse." "If Harkness whacked her and got away with it... that's his business." "We got our own problems." "He's right, Eddie." "If he killed her, then it stands to reason... that he would kill anyone... who wanted to dig her up and challenge him on it." "I found a guy." "Don't you already have a guy?" "No." "I mean, a buyer." "Really?" "Who's that?" "Someone in Mexico." "He'll pay 10 percent more... for half the inventory." "Impressive." "So I was thinking... we'll give Tom the extra 10 percent... make him happy... and we'll take the other half and double what we're making now." "Does Tom know anything about all this?" "No." "I don't know who the hell you think you are... or what on God's green earth you're trying to accomplish here... but I tell you one thing..." "I'm getting mighty tired of your bullshit." "Listen, I don't have time for this small town crap... so come up with 250 Gs tonight, or I play the song..." "I Know What Really Happened to Your Dead Stripper Wife." "You watch your mouth, you little son of a bitch bullshitter." "All's I'm hearing so far is you running that ball washer of yours." "I'm not seeing squat." "How do I even know you even have that body?" "All right, you want proof?" "Dig her up." "That's what I thought." "Stop wasting my time." "Waste your time?" "Yeah." "All right." "I'll waste your time." "Don't do that." "It's proof of life, Eddie." "He's not taking us seriously." "I am not gonna let you cut off her finger." "It is barbaric." "She's dead." "She's not gonna feel it." "It's mutilation." "It's a federal offense to abuse a corpse." " What?" " That's right." "Herman told me." "If you cut off her finger, I'm calling a lawyer." "You're calling a lawyer?" "Right." "Eddie, let me explain something to you." "If we don't give Harkness proof that we have his wife... he's not gonna give us the money." "Now, I don't like this any more than you do... but it's gotta happen." "Well, do something else." "I'm sorry." "There was nothing I could do." "You're beautiful." "You don't deserve this." "I won't let him do... anything like that again." "I promise." "That piece was free... but the rest is gonna cost you 250 grand." "You're a sick man." "I'm a businessman, just like you." "You're nothing like me." "And this isn't business." "It's nice to know you care so much." "Now, are we doing this... or would you like another piece of evidence?" "You'll get your damn money." "Great." "Now here's the deal." "I knew it." "I knew you was hiding something." "Get the pasty whore out of my house!" "Hold it!" "Frank said..." "I don't give a rat's ass what Frank said." "This ain't no whorehouse." "Now you go get that pasty... drunken tramp out of here." "Go on!" "Go on, get!" "Let go of my beaver!" "Let go of my beaver." "Let go!" "Wow." "I almost didn't recognize you." "Really?" "No." "What's with the disguise?" "Uh, I did this deal with Spider that didn't go so well." "So you don't think he'll recognize you?" "No." "Th-th-this is for the new plan." "I got some business with Harkness." "It's probably good not to let him see me." "If it goes the way I planned it, then it's all good." "And if it doesn't?" "Then I need you to do me a favor." "What?" "It's all here in the note." "So, just..." "Trust me." "I can't tell you anything more." "Well, OK." "So how will I know if things go bad?" "Well, when they fish me out of the lake." "So, you say she, uh, fell in the shower?" "Yeah." "I heard a big bump, and then next thing I know... she's out cold." "Do you know any reason why she'd have her socks on in the shower?" "Socks?" "No." "I mean, maybe for traction... 'cause... all women have real slippery feet." "You sure you don't want to come to the hospital?" "No." "I've got to stay here and wait for Frank." "He's my brother." "All right." "Well, she'll be at the Drywell Medical Center... in case you or your brother want to check on her." "All right." "Well, thanks for all of the, uh... for everything." "That was a good job." "I'm sorry." "L..." "I couldn't take the chance... of them seeing you." "Frank's gonna be mad as it is... what with his mom seeing you and all." "I know that she didn't mean what she said about you." "That whore thing." "That was completely out of line." "Yeah." "Come on, Eddie." "Answer the phone." "All right." "Y'all cover me from the rear." "I'm going around the front." "All right?" "Yeah." "All right." "This is it." "Hello." "Yeah." "Hang on." "Are you Harkness?" " I am." " It's for you." "Yeah?" "Go in the bathroom, and go alone." "There's a shelf above the urinal." "Put the money there." "You have one minute." "All right." "The damn bag's on the shelf in the bathroom." "Now what?" "Hello?" "Muzzy!" "You son of a bitch." "What the hell happened, man?" "I thought you said you had this under control." "Relax." "We'll find him." "Don't tell me to relax, man." "Some two-bit piece of crap has 250,000 of my dollars." "Not to mention my dead wife." "Fix it, Spider." " You see him?" " No!" "Go that way!" "Does that mean the thing went good?" "Yeah." "The thing went good." "Frank." "I'm glad you're here." "Well, look who's here." "Where's your organ grinder, monkey boy?" "Uh... uh..." "I don't know." "You... you... you... you don't know?" "I'm looking for a reason... not to kill you right now." "And "l-l-l-don't know..."" "just doesn't do it." "Well... well..." "I-I..." "How... how... how about..." "A bullet in your brain?" "Frank said that... he give you all the money." "Your... gun..." "Your gun is making me nervous." "Check it out." "What the hell is that?" "Some broad chopping wood." " What'd you shoot her for?" " She had an axe." "Aah..." "Wake up, dumbass." "What happened?" "It was Muzzy's mother." "She was out chopping wood." "And you shot her?" "She had an axe." "What do you want to do with him?" "He's coming with us." "Ma?" "Eddie?" "There's something wrong." "Ma?" "Eddie?" ""If you want to see your boyfriend again, call me."" "Hello." "Where's Eddie?" "Hey, easy, Muzzy." "He's right here." "He's killing me, Frank." "Hang in there, Eddie, I got..." "He's killing me, Frank." "I've got your money." "Well, go ahead." "Entertain me." "One hour." "At the..." "Mean-Eyed Pussy Cat." " And bring Eddie." " All right." "But Muzzy... you come up light, and you come up dead." "Hey... idiot savant number two... just bought you an extra hour." "The Mean-Eyed Pussy Cat?" "I don't know, I just..." "I wanted a place with people around." "Shit!" "Who is it?" "Uh, it's, uh..." "Oh, my God!" "So, you dug her up?" "I told you, just to get the necklace." "It's not that weird." "It's not that normal." "Look, when Eddie said he saw her with it, it made sense." "And then Harkness went and buried her without it." "What kind of cheap bastard does that?" "A jealous one." "She was with Spider the night before she died." "Harkness showed up." "He was obviously jealous and tried to take her home, but... she wouldn't go." "So he finally left without her." "A couple of minutes later..." "Spider and Crystal left." "That was the last time I saw her." "Are you sure Spider and Crystal left together?" "Yeah." "Absolutely." "Why?" "Because I think we've been looking at the wrong guy." "I don't think Harkness killed his wife." "So..." "What do you want?" "Half." "You're already in for half." "What I want is half... of your new half." "I think it's fair, don't you?" "You know what I think is fair?" "All right." "Look, this is half the money." "If it gets crazy, and Spider... you gotta hide." "Protect yourself." "Will you do that?" "Yeah." "Believe me." "I know places where nobody can find me." "Good." "Now guard that with your life." "Yeah." "Nobody's gonna get their hands on this." "Can you take off this gag?" "Can you take this off?" "It's coming off anyhow." "What do you want?" "I've got a... flask in my pocket." "I'm pretty thirsty." "Just wonderin' if I could get a drink." "What, you didn't get enough to drink at Spider's house?" "I guess." "Ah, that's good." "You... you want a shot?" "Sure." "What the hell?" "That's, uh, you know, real good stuff." "Hey, look." "I don't want you to take anything personal about what happened at Spider's." "I mean, it was just business." "OK?" "Well, you know." "It's OK, 'cause..." "I knew..." "I knew Frank was coming with the money... and everything anyhow, so..." "I don't want to lie to you." "After Spider gets the money... he's gonna kill you both." "Why?" "I mean, he's getting the same amount of money... for cigarettes anyhow, right?" "What cigarettes?" "What?" "Where's my money?" "Where's Eddie?" "Give me one good reason I don't kill both of you right now." "You know, I can keep paying her... or I can start paying you." "It's your call." "Harkness tells Spider which truck to hit, OK?" "Spider then unloads everything on the other side of the border." "They split it 50l50." " All right." " OK." "Now, Harkness, he files an insurance claim... for the same cigarettes." "You following me?" "Yes, I see what's going on." "OK." "But this time... this time, we fill your truck with old phone books." "We rig up a little ka-boom, and we tell Harkness... that you guys had an accident." " Right." " Then Spider, he sells the cigarettes... and he keeps the money." "Right." "What I don't understand... is how you guys didn't blow up." "Oh, well, Frank, he was out... he was taking a piss, so..." "What are the odds, right?" "Well, yeah." "I guess Frank's a lucky guy." "He's lucky." "Yeah?" "No, I'm not laughing." "Right now?" "No." "I can handle it." "Too bad." "I was just starting to have a good time." "You're OK." "Yeah." "Well..." "Uh, I like you, too, Tiny." "You ever kiss a guy, Eddie?" "How you doing, Eddie?" "Uh..." "I could use a drink." "So could I." "Not now, sweetheart." "This is business." "OK, listen." "Spider and I need to go and talk." "I want you to give Eddie here a private dance... for as long as this buys him." "I guess we'll see you boys in the morning." "Tiny." "Let him go." "Let him go." "That's a waste of money and talent." "Let's go." "What, I'm following you?" "No." "You're driving." "You got five seconds to tell me where the money is." "At your house." "My house?" "Did I stutter?" "So I guess you think you got this all figured out, don't you?" "I'm feeling pretty good about it." "What's the matter, Eddie?" "Don't you like me?" "Yes." "L..." "I do." "Well, then, show me." "Come on, Eddie." "Show me." "Uh..." "I'm sorry." "I can't." "What's the matter?" "Well... it's just that... there's someone..." "There's something that..." "I've got to take care of." "OK, Muzzy." "Let's have it." "Where the hell you going?" "It's in the back." "Find the twins and get them out of here." "Enough with the games, Muzzy." "I'm tired of fooling around with..." "What?" "Am I supposed to be shocked?" "No?" "That would be me." "Especially as it turns out you've been blackmailing me." "What the hell are you talking about?" "Not to mention, killing my wife." "And then digging her up." "OK." "Now I see where this is going." "Check that bag." "The money's there." "Doesn't feel like all of it." "That's 'cause it's half." "Someone else has the rest." "When me and Eddie are safe, you'll get it." "The twins took off." "With Natalie." "Natalie?" "What the hell is she doing here?" "She's on her way to the cops." "But they left a note." "Scented." "You got a lot of answering to do, Spider." "Hey, it was business." "She was ripping you off, and you didn't even know it... and then she got greedy with me." "This whole scam was Crystal's idea from the beginning, remember?" "You had a problem." "I solved it." "And everything would've been just fine... if you hadn't gone and dug her up." "What's the matter?" "Not the ending you expected?" "I guess that luck of yours just ran out." "So did yours." "Lucky bastard." "That I am." "That's really brave." "That's kind of sweet, isn't it?" "Yeah." "At least this one's got a pulse." "That's Aber..." "Aberdeen." "Frank..." "I don't think I should navigate all the way to Vegas." "Yeah, Eddie's got other things to think about." "Yeah." "I've got other things to think about." "Come on, Eddie." "You're a good navigator." "I know." "I know." "Hey, what happened, to, uh, Natalie?" "She'll be back." "I know women, Eddie." "She'll be back." "Have you ever had a day that you knew was gonna be great?" "I mean, life-changing great?" "Hey." "This is one of those days." "Does that mean the thing went good?" "Yeah." "The thing went good." "Um, it's, uh..." "Oh, my God." "It's Elmer Fudd." "You want fries with that?" "You're just about the sexiest fucking thing I think I've ever seen." "Is Tiny wearing eye shadow?" "When's the last time you had that fucking truck tuned up, man?" "You never take it to Meineke." "Calcium... something." "Shit." "How do you know?" "Calcium hypochloride." "What's that?" "It's chlorine." "This here is Eddie." "Hi, I'm Eddie." "This is Candy." "Hi, Candy." "She's an exotic dancer." "This is Eddie." "Hi, Debbie." "This is Candy." "Hi." "She's a whore." "Would you care to involve yourself in any sexual relations at this time?" "Uh, my name is, uh..." "Larry..." "Steve..." "Livington." "Phil, uh..." "Stanford." "Steve..." "Andy." "So, I..." "I..." "Fuck." "Eddie, why don't you go invest in the local economy, huh?" "Look, I'm real sorry about my friend." "Uh, he makes lots of noise as he's exiting scenes." "Look, I'm real sorry about my friend." "He's a little crazy."
