" I'm telling you, nights are better." " Yeah, yeah." " People tip better when they're going out for dinner and stuff like that." "What are you doing here?" " It's nice to see you too." "I just came by to tell you that the stones are gonna play the lafayette on the 28th, and I wanted to invite you." " The Rolling Stones." " No, the kidney stones." "Yes, the Rolling Stones." "You coming?" " Why would the Rolling Stones play brooklyn?" " What is it with you people?" "You act like brooklyn is some sort of fucking hick town." "It's the fourth-biggest city in the country." " Brooklyn is not a city." " If it was, it would be." " Yeah, well, the Rolling Stones are gonna take one look at the lafayette and have their 20th nervous breakdown." " Shit, I can't get no." " No what?" " Satisfaction." "You coming or what?" " I'll be gone by then." " That's too bad." "You don't work on sundays, do you?" " Work from home." " Come on." " I'm serious." "I read up on airline deals." "Got to know what I'm doing backwards and forwards before I get to I. A..." "It's not just a little store like this." "It's, like, five times as big." " Just take two hours off." "We'll go somewhere, just a walk." " Same category as lunch?" " Exactly, it's harmless, healthy, and this particular walk will be historically educational." " Brian, why do you want to do this?" "I'm leaving in a few weeks." " I didn't say we had to go pick out curtains, shauna." "I'm talking about a walk." " No." " If no, just say no." " I say no every time I see you." " Would you make up your mind?" "Look, if you don't like it, all you got to do is avoid me for a couple of weeks, and you're in the clear." " And if I do like it?" " Well, then, we'll make a mutual suicide packet." " All right, tomorrow." " Tomorrow, uh..." "Not available." "Kidding." " There he is." "Join me in some fucking pussy." " Dah-dah-dah." "Watch." "Check it out." "Check it out." "Uhh, you got to- you got to make it sharp." " That's a small dick you got there." " Hey, there he is." "It's vincent van faggot." " I've been looking all over for you." " You and everybody else." " The cops have been coming around asking questions." " No shit." "There you go." " The detectives talked to mom." " No one's looking for you, if that's what you're worried about." " That's not what I'm worried about." " This is my little brother." "Fucking spends hours and hours down here by himself painting drawings, while the rest of us are out drinking and getting laid." "He wants to draw pictures for a living, except he ain't got the balls to admit it to anybody." " Get the fuck out." " What are you gonna do, tell mommy?" "You don't have to worry." "No one even touches you, this little fuck." "He's a good boy." "Me, I sneeze too fucking hard, I catch a fucking beating." " What do you want?" " I came to get my shoe box." " It's in my room." " All right." " Get out." " Ohh, don't be upset, little boy." "I just want to put some color on your cheeks." " You fucking asshole." "I'm gonna fucking kill you." "You fuck!" " You mother..." "You fucking raise your hand, you better be ready to finish it." "You hear me?" " You fucking jack me?" "You fucking jack me?" "You're fucking dead." "You motherfucker." "You're fucking dead." "You're fucking dead." "You're fucking dead." "You piece of shit." "You're fucking dead." "You hear me, you scumbag?" "You're gonna fucking die for that." "Get the fuck out of here." "All right." "All right." "Little fucker!" " Danny." "Danny!" "I hear noises." " It's just a storm." " Does the thunder mean god's mad?" " Yeah, but not at us." "We're okay here." "Hey, look." "Watch this." " Well, I guess this is historic." " Hey, anybody can take you on a walk through prospect park." " Ah, but a cemetery." "Now, that's class." "You gonna tell me what happened to your face?" " Oh, I was practicing for this walk, and I fell." " Shit, Brian, who did that?" "Look, don't bullshit me." "Who did that to you?" " My brother." " Your brother." " It's no big deal." "It's nothing new, except this time, I hit him back." " You guys need a new hobby." " All families fight, I guess." " Not mine, not like that, anyway." " There's always been plenty of hand-to-hand combat in our house." "Me and my brother used to stay up at nights and listen to my parents." "We'd give them a number on the temper scale." " My parents never raised a hand to me, fight with silence, cold shoulder." "Well, maybe that's worse." " So you've never been hit?" " No." " Not by anybody?" " No." " Wow." " I knew who you were, you know." "I remembered you from high school." " Why didn't you say something?" " I used to see you in the halls, cafeteria, sometimes on the train, always just watching everything." "And I used to- I used to try to figure out," ""now, what's this guy thinking?"" " Me too." " I remember one time in the school yard, you were getting your ass kicked by brother dominic." " Gentle friar." " He had you by the hair, and he slapped you till you fell down." "But you never made a sound." "You just took it, and your face was so red, and your shirt was coming out of your pants, but you didn't even cry, kept your dignity." "Brother dominic lost his." "You know, they got a cemetery just like this in paris." " You been to paris?" " Oh, I've been all over." "When I got out of travel school, we took these familiarization trips," ""fam trips," they call them." "Some travel agent, they've never even been anywhere." "You know, the girls I work with, forget it." "How can you do that?" "I mean, how can you send people all around the world, and you've never even been out of your own freakin' neighborhood." " That sounds like the perfect job for you." " It's a good future too." "People are always gonna be going places, and there are always gonna be travel agents to book it." "I've been to london." "I've been to rome." "I was even in alaska once." "I'm gonna go all around the world by the time I'm 25." " I was in piscataway, new jersey, last year." "I ate like a king." " Don't you want to travel?" "I mean, don't you want to walk down the street and know that when you turn the corner, it's all gonna be new?" " I like it here." "Why do I always feel like I have to apologize for it?" " Can I tell you something, Brian?" "Cemetery, all this death around us..." "Really makes me horny." "Don't ask me why." " I wasn't gonna." " I was at a wake once for my uncle." "Mm, I was climbing the walls." " Do you dare me to run naked through this cemetery?" " I don't know if I dare you, but I might beg you." " I'm not gonna do it alone." "Oh, come on, Brian, nobody here." "Just a bunch of dead people." " Might I point out that it's a bit chilly?" " Ahhh!" " Keep your eye on me, baby." "Whoo." "# Ooh, ooh, yeah #" "# I've been down so low, I got nowhere to go # # don't you know I've been a little down on my luck #" "# I've been a little bit stuck #" "# I've been down low down, but things are sure lookin' up # # well, I have some money, and I have me a wife #" "# I had a sweet life, and then those times got tough # # she done gave me up #" "# I've been down low down, but things are sure lookin' up # # yes they are # # yeah, well, I'm looking up, can't you see # # baby I'm movin' up, look at me #" "# I'm comin' up, yeah, it's me #" "# I said I've had enough #" "# I'm breaking free # # from where I stand, baby, things are sure lookin' up #" " What is this place, anyway?" " Belongs to the deli upstairs." "They let me hang out here." " Did you do all these?" "They're beautiful." "Watercolor?" " Yeah." "And some charcoal, some just pencil." " Why are the people so blurry?" " Maybe they don't know who they are." " I like this one the best." "What is that?" " It's just woods." "My brother used to take me camping when we were kids..." "Back when he liked me." " And you don't show these to anybody?" " Like who?" " I don't know." "I just- it just doesn't seem right to keep all of this hidden away down here." "If I could do this, I would never shut up about it." " Well, you never shut up anyway." " I'm serious." "I mean, this makes you special." "Don't you know that?" " You think so?" " Yeah." " Well, it's, like, a hobby, really." "I mean, it's not like I could make a living out of it." " It's more than that, and you know it." "Why are you so afraid of it?" "I better go." " What's the matter?" " Nothing." "I've just got to go." "That's all." " What, do I need a breath mint or something?" " I can't see you anymore, Brian." "You're a really great guy and all, but I just can't, and don't come by the store, and don't call." "Just-just let it go, okay?" "Sorry." " Excuse me." "Come on." "God damn it." "Son of a bitch." "Ugh." "Jesus christ." "What the hell is this?" "Hey, maggie." "What the hell is this, huh?" "The mailbox is crammed with this." "You ever check the mail ever?" " Every day." "What are you talking about?" " Every day?" "That is bullshit." "There's 9,000 bills, junk mail." "God knows how long it's been sitting in there." " You're gonna have to do better than this, Paddy, if you want to fight." "I empty the mailbox every day." " That is bullshit, and I'll tell you something." "This is the reason that we're late with the bills every month." " We're late with every bill because you drink half the money every week." "That's why we're late with the bills." " That's why?" "All right, I'll tell you what." "How about this month, we have no bills at all, huh?" "What do you say?" "There, look, no bills at all." "How about that?" "Yeah?" "How about that?" "How about that, huh, Margaret?" " What the hell is wrong with you?" " You happy now?" " Jesus..." "Christ." " Your garbage can get out of town." "This is gonna be the cleanest fucking neighborhood that you ever saw, and if the christmas hits are right, it's gonna stay that way." " Another dedicated public servant heard from." " Mock though you will." "Just remember, certain people are wasting their lives in college, while I'm pulling down 10 gs a year." " Yeah, you'll be pulling something." " Brian." "I told you he'd be here." "It's like when the swallows return to captain strano." " Hey, shorty." "Can you put these up somewhere where people can see them?" " What am I, your own personal billboard?" " Hey, do we get a discount to this concert, or what?" " Who says you're invited?" " Oh, look, he's hobnobbing with the showbiz crowd." "He doesn't need us no more." " You guys seen todd?" " Look at this." "I stand before him in the uniform of my chosen profession, and you can only ask about college boy?" " Some people just don't get excited over garbage, jerry." " You passed the physical." " Yeah." " They had to give him oxygen." " Only for an hour..." "Once I stopped crying." " That's great, jerry." " Not only did I make it, but I made it in the top ten percentile." "How about that, college boy?" " The man knows garbage." " The man eats garbage." " So will you if your house is on my route, you fuck." " As long as you're on the job, jerry, why don't you take care of this?" " Hey." " Oh, wow, look." "It's my first bag of garbage, and it came from you." " No, most of it came from you." " New york city department of sanitation coming through." "Hot garbage here, hot garbage." " Doing all right?" " Yeah, how about you?" " Yeah." "Hey, listen, I..." "I heard this somewhere." "I don't even remember where now, like, maybe on tv or something, that when you hear back from a college, if they send you a thick envelope, it means that you got in, and if they send you a skinny one," "it means that you didn't." "Is that true?" " Usually, a thick one is yes." "They send you all sorts of forms and paperwork and shit." "The thin one is no, straight to the point." " That's what I thought." " It's all right." "Don't worry." "No, we're good." "We're good." "Come on." " Whoa." " You all right?" "Come on." "Here." "There we go." " What?" " What?" " Just trying to picture your brother doing this." "That's all." "Probably shit in his pants by now." " He's been with me before." "He could do it if he had to." " Bullshit." "That kid's a faggot through and through." " Who the fuck are you to say that?" " What?" " What the fuck do you know about my brother?" " I know he's a pussy." "Everybody knows that." " You keep your fucking mouth shut about Brian." " What?" "I saw you call him a fag to his face, and you were right." " I can say what I want about my brother." "You fucking can't." "What motherfuck..." " Fucking step here, Danny." "You know where I've been the last eight fucking months?" "I've cut guys for a lot less than that." " Fuck you." "I don't give a fuck where you been." "You fucking pull a knife on me, you better use it quick, you little cunt." " On your feet." "Let me see your hands." "Let's see both hands." "All right, stay right there." "Keep 'em up." " I can't take a pinch, Danny." "I'm on parole." "I could do hard time." " Keep your hands up." " Tell them I mugged you." "I dragged you in the alley." "I tried to take your money." " I got my gun on me, all right?" "I'm fucked anyway." " Thanks, Danny." " Don't you ever fucking come near me again." " What are you assholes doing here?" " Yeah, that's right." "He's my son." "What for?" "Where?" "What precinct?" "Sergeant mckeene, yeah." "Thank you, yeah." "Yes." "Brian." "Brian!" "Brian." "Damn it." "Brian!" "Brian." "Damn it, Brian!" "Brian." "Brian!" "Brian." "Brian!" "Brian." "Didn't I tell you not to come down here?" "Didn't I?" "What the hell are you doing down here?" "Your brother's been arrested." "You better go get your father." " So when she gets home, she's wearing a- like, a mouse." "Anyway, he says, "jesus, katie." "What the hell happened to you?"" "And she said, "I don't know." ""I asked mrs." "Garber, I said," ""'mrs." "Garber, what's a specimen?" "'" ""And she told me to go piss in a bottle." ""So I told her to go shit in her hands, and that's when the fight started. "" " I'll see ya." " Pop." " What's the matter?" " It's Danny." "He's down at the 68th precinct." "They arrested him." " What did he do?" "Son of a bitch." "Get in the car." " Just so you know..." "Just so you know, that was my christmas money" "I bailed you out with." " You'll get your money back." "Don't worry about it." " Yeah?" "I'm gonna get my money back?" "What, are you gonna mug somebody with a gun?" "You're a fucking thief now?" "I should have let you rot in there." " I didn't ask you to bail me out." " Yeah, well, it's the last time, never again." "Look, you don't come home tonight, huh?" "I don't want you in the house now." "I don't want you there ever." "You hear me?" " Okay by me." " Fucking bum is what you are." "That's what you turned out to be, a fucking bum." "You understand?" " Takes one to know one." " What did you just say?" " Nothing." " What did you just say to me?" " Dad, stop." "Get off him." " Hit me." "Go ahead." "Hit me." " Hey, you didn't knock me down, all right?" "I slipped." "You remember that." "You did not knock me down." " So what." "My old man hit me ten times harder than I ever hit you, and I didn't go down neither, huh?" "You coming?" " No." "Whitey won't show up till noon, so we're good till then." "Get some blankets and shit from the house, and we got soap and all in the men's room." " Have to give that one a ten, huh?" " North." " You know I haven't been in here since I was a kid?" "Old man used to take me." "I remember we saw the dirty dozen." "He loved that one, pop." " Remember, he used to take us on walks across the brooklyn bridge?" " Yeah, yeah, and we'd take the train back, right?" "First car, so we could look down the tracks." " I don't know why he hits you and not me." " Who knows?" "He probably don't even know." "That's just the way it is." "That's all." "I keep having this dream." "He hauls off to let me have it, and I clock him." "I hit him so fucking hard." "He looks at me like he can't believe it." "And I hit him again." "He goes down like a rock." "He looks up at me..." "Knows he can never hit me again." "Maybe someday I'll have the balls to do it." " What are you gonna do now?" "What's whitey charging for the stones?" " $50..." "Cash at the door, no advance." " What you got here, like, 600 seats?" " Give or take." "Why?" " That's 30 grand cash just sitting here that night." " No way, Danny." "No." " We can do this." "You know where the money's gonna be." "You know how to get it." " This is whitey we're talking about here." " Whitey's not family." "We're family." " Shit, Danny." " What are you gonna do?" "You gonna stay here the rest of your life?" "You gonna be an audience?" "You gonna be the guy who watches what other people do?" "We can get out of here and go somewhere and live real fucking lives, do what we want to do, not just see if we can get through a fucking day without getting hit." " You really think that it's possible?" " Yeah, and we've got to take it." "No one's gonna give it to us." "I need this, Brian." "You need it." " I don't know much about this kind of thing." "They said they were the best." "As long as your father burns bills," "I figured, what the heck?" "I want you to tell Danny to come back home." " Danny's leaving." "Me too." "He hurt him bad, ma." " I won't let him do that anymore." " What are you gonna do, reason with him?" " Look, your father's not easy." "I know this." "But there's good in there." "I know you don't see it, but I do." "I remember things, things you don't even know about, things that happened before you were born." "Thing are not all one way, Brian." "He knows how hard it is out there." "He's trying to teach your brother how to be a man, and you too." " You really believe that, ma?" "Why do you stay with him?" " Where am I gonna go?" "I don't need anybody feeling sorry for me." "I made my choice, like the church says, for better or for worse." " I don't see anyone from the church here when he comes home drunk." " Don't talk that way about your religion." "And watch what you say about him." "He's still your father." " He doesn't like to keep cash in the box office." "He always moves it to his office in the back of the theater." " Who takes care of it?" " Me, usually." "He'll probably have me taking it back there every ten minutes or so." " What's near the office, doors, a window?" " There's a door right next to the stairs that go backstage." " Can you make sure that's open?" "So the concert starts at 9:00, so by 10:00, all the cash that's gonna be there, should be there, right?" " I guess." " So by 10:00, you've got to make sure whitey's not backstage, okay?" "Keep him busy in the lobby." "I'll get through the door, find the office, grab the cash." "You meet me back here at 10:30." " You should at least say good-bye to mom." " Danny." "Look at me." "Look at me, Danny." "I'm sorry what he did to you." " I'm all right." " What kind of trouble are you in?" " Look, I've got to give something to pop." "Then I've got to get out of here." " He's sleeping it off." "You don't want to wake him." "Trust me." "Let me make you guys something to eat, okay?" "I've got some sloppy joes on the stove, okay?" "It will just take a second." "Go-just sit down, and I'll bring it right out, okay?" "Brian, you got a phone call before." " I did?" " Yeah, some guy, lynn burger or lam burger or some kind of "burg"..." "Carnegie daily." " From carnegie mellon?" " Whatever." "I wrote his number down on the napkin holder." " Ma." "Tell pop this is the money I owe him." " Ahhh." " Oh, come on." "Just put it down and let it cool off." " You need the iceberg that sunk the titanic to cool this off;" "Let me tell you." " So what are you, mr." "Gourmet all of a sudden, food critic from the brooklyn spectator?" " So do you use, like, an actual flamethrower..." " I'll give you a flamethrower." " No, not the towel." " You gave me a good scare there, boy." "Yeah, I didn't think he was gonna make it." "I heard your head hit the ground and went out like a light." "He was out cold." " My head didn't hit the ground." "I told you, you never  sure as hell did." "I heard it hit the ground, and all of a sudden, pop." "The sprinklers by the..." "The..." "What the hell do you call it, maggie?" "You know, the kiddie pool." "You mean..." "You mean, when he was a kid?" " Must have slipped or something." "I don't know." " He doesn't remember that, Paddy." "He was five or six." " You went down, and you didn't move." "And I run over, and I picked you up, and just as limp as a..." "Like a rag doll." "You was white as a sheet." "And I had you in my arms, and I ran all the way to the hospital." "I run in the emergency room, and you wasn't moving, wasn't even breathing, and I'm..." "And I'm holding, you know, and I look down at you, and you're so small, so still, and just there for that minute, oh, I hated you." "And I thought you was gonna die." "I thought you was dead already, maybe." "And I said to you," ""don't you die." ""Don't you go and make me..." ""Care like this and then go die on me. "" "And then they took you away from me, and everybody starts running around, and they're doing whatever it is that they're doing, and they made me go outside, and I yelled at them." "I said to them, "you give me my boy back." "You give me back my little boy. "" "Yeah, you gave me a good scare there, Danny boy." " Paddy." "Go back to bed." " Ehh..." " Let me take you back to bed." "It's all right, Paddy." "It's all right." " Thanks for getting back to me." "I sent you a letter." " Yeah, I didn't really get a chance to read it." " Well, people don't usually send us polaroids of their work." "We wrote to tell you that you have to send in an application." " Um  the stones want a wah-wah pedal." "What the fuck is that?" " I don't know." "Ask one of those guys." " Pain in the ass." " Right, application." "I don't know." " The thing is, I've had these polaroids up on my bulletin board here, and a lot of people are commenting on them, and I see by your zip code that you might qualify for some hefty student" " I'm not underprivileged." " Okay, I understand." "What school are you in now?" " Um..." "University of lafayette." " Mm-hmm, don't know it." "Anyway, I'd like to send you an application." "We think this could be a good fit." " Look, those pictures," "I just sent them because I was curious." "It wasn't, like, a serious thing." " I'm not sure I understand." "Brian?" " Same to me or anyone else." "I'm making you a promise right here." "If I don't have all my money by noon tomorrow," "I will come back here and burn this fucking theater to the ground and you along with it, understand?" "Say yes, whitey." "Say yes." " Whitey?" "Hey!" "Hey!" " It's okay, kid." "I'll be right with you." " Next time you see me, I will not be talking." "You came along just in time." "Scared me off, you did." " You okay?" " You kidding?" "I had him right where I wanted him." "Come on." "Don't give me that look." "I got this all under control." "After tonight, I'm gonna be in the clear." "Come here." "I got something for you." "It's gonna get busy tonight, so I wanted to give you this before I forget." "I put $1,500 in there for you, just for you, 'cause you help me out a lot here." " You don't have to do this, whitey." " No, I do." "Really, I do." "Jimmy cheeks will get his, believe me, so I put aside for you." " I don't know what to say." " Well, that's a first." " I don't deserve it." " Don't say that." "You're a good kid, Brian." "You can't hide it." "If you were my son, I'd be nothing but proud." "Anyway, we have a lot to do for tonight." "After lunch, we've got to find some kind of dressing room for these guys." "I hear they're fussy bastards." "We got ten kegs of beer coming at 4:00." "Make sure you're here, ya little shit." " I'm not gonna do it." "I just can't, Danny." "I'm sorry." " What's the matter?" " I can't rob whitey." "I wish I could be like you." "I really do." "I wish I had your balls." "I wish I wasn't so fucking afraid of everything." "I wish- no matter how hard I try," "I'm never gonna be like you, Danny, and you're always gonna hate me for that." " I don't know what the fuck you're talking about." " Yes, you do." "You do." " Brian, you're my brother." " I know." "Can't that be enough, just that?" "Take this." "It will get you out of here, at least get you set up somewhere else." "Don't rob whitey, Danny." "You can do something else." "It doesn't have to be this." " I wish I could do what you do, make something out of nothing, instead of always the other way around." " I've been thinking a lot about the tent lately, about you and me camping." "Sometimes I wish it could be simple like that again." " I'll see ya." " Danny." "I'm sorry I jacked you that time." " Don't be." "I never took you camping, you asshole." " It's gonna be good." " How are we doing?" " They're still not here?" " They're on their way." "Pete called;" "Look out for a limo the size of new jersey." "Here, I'll cover for you." "Put that in the office, okay?" "Okay, how many?" " Two." " Two, okay." " Come in." "Have fun." "Enjoy the show." " Look like you're gonna have a good crowd, whitey." "Too bad it's for "1 nit only. "" "With all the money I spotted you, maybe you could have bought a few es." " A couple of es." "Yeah, I should get some es." "I'm gonna get some es." "Vip." "How many?" " Hey, hump." " Where the fuck have you guys been?" " Is mick here?" "Did he ask for me?" " Yeah, he wants to know who the fat fuck is who's gonna block his spotlight." " They're not here yet, and what the fuck is that?" " What?" " What do you mean, what?" "You look like you've got a camel strapped to your chest." "Ohhhh." " Guys, we've got, like, 9,000 kegs of beer in there." " Yes, but that would involve an exchange of currency." " Yeah, unless you can also arrange for a student by platis." " You mean gratis, asshole?" " Okay, you guys, just sit somewhere and try not to fucking embarrass me." " Okay, one ticket, $50." "Thanks very much." "Have a good time." "Come on in." "I.D., ladies?" "Just kidding." "Come on in." "Come on in." "Very good." "Thanks, very much." "How many, one?" "One, $50, a ticket." "Here we go." "No checks." " I can't believe we're almost there." " I know." " Ahh." " Good thing we got here early." " Just one?" "The world's gone mad, I tell ya." "One ticket." "Thanks, very much." "Okay, there's your change." "One?" "One for you." "All right, very good." "Ladies, ladies, come on." "Time's a-wasting." "How many?" "Two?" " Yes." " Oh, there you go." "Come on in." "Come on in." "Enjoy the show." "Enjoy the show." " Thanks." " How many?" "Just one?" "This is very sad, very sad." "Go in." "Meet a boyfriend." "You'll have fun." " I can't believe we're almost there." "Ahh." " We sold out." "I just locked the doors." "They're three blocks away." " You're drinking the beer that I brought in." " Get the fuck out of here with that commie shit." " Oh, oh." "Hey, hey, hey." "Thank you." "Love you." " I told you that we do not do pills." "We do not." " No, I got it." "No." " Thought you'd be gone." " Um, long story." " I wish I had known." "I would have let you in the vip entrance." "So what happened?" "Your trip get postponed or something?" " Yeah, it's just temporary." "Thank you for the gift." " You liked it?" " Nobody ever did anything like that for me before." " So just out of curiosity, what did I do to scare you off?" " You didn't do anything, anything you could help, anyway." " Here." " Oh, thanks." "You know, when my mother was my age, she was married already." "She didn't really want to be, but she met my father." "She just fell in love with him right away." "She had all these plans." "You know, she was gonna go work for the airlines, and she wanted to be a stewardess, but she just couldn't help herself." "She was, like, 20 when they got married." "I never thought you could feel like that about somebody so soon like that." "You know, like, enough to want to give up everything else." "I just couldn't let anything like that happen to me." " Would that be the worst thing in the world, to stay here with someone you like?" " I'll see you later." " Yeah!" " Come on, mick." "Come on, stones." "Let's go." "Come on, stones." " Fucking bullshit!" " You're not gonna get away with this." " Give me my fucking money!" " You're not gonna get away with this." " Who's running this joint?" " That's the little prick who works here." " Where's our money?" "Give us back our fucking money." " Hey, hey, hey." "I don't know what happened." "I don't know what happened." " Where's our money?" "Give us back our money." " Get out of the way." "Get out of the way." " You're fucking dead." " Look, I don't know what happened." " Get out of my way." "Get the fuck back." "Hey!" "Hey, Brian!" "Brian." "Brian, I'm coming for you." " I got you." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Get away." "Get the fuck off me." "Get off me." "Come on." " You're bleeding." "What'd they fucking do to you?" " You all right?" " What the fuck?" " Fuck." "Danny, no." "No, Danny, Danny." "Danny, Danny." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Danny, Danny, Danny, Danny." " It fucking hurts." " No, no, no, no, no." "Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't." "Don't take it out." "Don't take it out." "Don't take it out." "Don't take it..." "Fuck..." "No, no, no, no, no." "Help!" "Danny." "Danny!" "Nooo!" "Danny!" " Shh, it's all right." "It's just a storm." "I'm not gonna let anything happen to you." " Don't leave me." "Don't leave me here." " I'm not going anywhere." "Nothing bad is ever gonna happen to you." "I'm gonna make sure." "I'm not leaving." " Eternal rest grant unto him, oh, lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him." "May his soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed through the mercy of god rest in peace." "Into your hands, oh, lord, we humbly entrust our brother, daniel." "In this life, you embraced him with your tender love." "Deliver him now from every evil  don't take away my son, please." "Don't take away my boy." "It should be me." "It should be me, Danny." " Pat." " Take me." "Take me." "Please, give me back my little boy." "Danny." " Come on, pat." " It will be all right, pat." " Easy." "It's okay." "It's okay." "We got you." " You okay?" " Tell you the truth, I had a lot more fun last time I was here." "I'm glad I got to see you before you leave." " I'm not going to I. A..." "They gave that job to somebody else." " Shit." "Shauna, I'm sorry." "So you hook up somewhere else." " Mm-hmm." " All the experience you got, all the places you've been, no problem." " I never been anywhere, Brian." "Never really been out of brooklyn, and now I'll never get out." " It's okay." "Come on out now." "You okay?" "You're not scared anymore?" " It's all right." "He got it out of his system." "Just make sure you're both asleep before he comes back." "You okay?" "Can I..." "Can I get you something?" " How's pop?" " Asleep." " What is this?" "Camp rockaway." "When your brother was a kid, we thought it would be a good idea to send him to summer camp." "You know, let him get some fresh air, trees, things like that." "Your father saved up for it all year, but Danny..." "Danny didn't want to go." "No way." "Took him to the bus anyhow." "I was determined." "L-oh, he cried." "He-he-he held on to me." "He-he begged me not to make him go." "He..." "He even promised he'd be good all summer." "So I took him back home." "I don't know if I did it for him or for me, but I couldn't bring myself to put him on that bus, and to this day, I'm sorry I didn't." "It would have been so good for him, would have given him a chance to see what he could do out there in the world." "The thing is, he wasn't strong enough to go." "And I should have been strong enough to make him go." " The stones come to brooklyn." "Pretty fucking stupid, huh?" " Hey, it could have happened." " No, it couldn't." " Think they'll ever find whitey?" " I hope not." "He really pulled it off." "He rented all the equipment, the whole nine yards." "Even jimmy cheeks thought the stones were coming." " Everybody's wondering if you knew." " No." "I probably should have, but..." "I always believed everything he said." "Are you going back to pittsburgh tomorrow?" " Yeah, classes start next week, so..." " Yeah." "How long you think it will take to get there?" "You all right?" " They even have travel agents in pittsburgh?" " I wouldn't worry." "I have a feeling people in pittsburgh really like getting out of pittsburgh every once and a while." " We've got a stop to make." " Been a long time since I've seen you around here." " I just came by to tell you I'm leaving." " Yeah, your mother told me." "Going to school to draw pictures." " Gonna try." " Any good at it?" " Looks that way." " Make a living with it?" " I don't know." " You, uh, need any money or anything?" " No, I just came to say good-bye." " Well..." "I guess you said it." "Brian." " That's for my brother."
