"I was staring at your fish." "That's a cute one." "It's got little bug eyes." "Is that your fish?" "When I was little, I had a fish." "I had a tropical fish." "It was bad." "I put the heater on, and I Ieft, and when I came back, they were all over the floor, poor bastards." "all right, well, this is me." "Nice meeting you." "Hey, take care of that fish." " hello?" "Yes, hello." "hello, yes, one second." "It's-it's for you." "No?" "Uh, you just missed him." " Right here, Donny." "Look." "Bring it to your gut, right to your gut." "AII that strength, all that evil, all that force." "Yeah, you saw that shit, right?" "Rah!" "Rah!" "Rah!" "Anything good?" "Don't bring any cell phones, all right?" " What?" "I can't hear you." " I said don't bring any more cell phones!" " I'II be there in a few." "Yo, slim." " What's up, Bobby?" " What up, baby?" "Uh, give me three Ioosies." "There you go." "Thanks, buddy." " Get your ass in here." "I'm taking you off the case." " Just like that?" " Don't give me the "just like that" shit." "You are already on probation." "This is supposed to be a coffee and cake job to keep you out on the street." "And by the way, this kid, he's hysterical." "You know what he did yesterday?" "He took himself a cab up to the Bronx." "Instead of paying, what does he do?" "He whips out your badge, and he says, "official police business."" " Got some balls." " You know who told me that story?" "The mayor." "The same mayor who's been talking to me about becoming commissioner." "The same Mayor that I've been talking to on your behalf about becoming chief of police." "What the hell's going on with you, sully?" "30 years." "What are we gonna do," "let this whole thing crumble to the ground because of this punk?" " I'II fix it." " Get your badge back." "I don't give a flying shit what you have to do." "Restore some dignity to this department." "Read 'em and weep." "You're famous." " It's a good picture." " Get the hell out of my office." " Listen, I told this guy already." "I'm not a pickpocket." "I'm a pilates instructor." "I'm actually late for my" " Why don't you shut up?" " Here we go." "Where are we going?" " Let's go for a little walk." " What's back here?" "Oh, the doughnuts." "Man, I got my rights over here." "Oome on." "Ohrist almighty." " hold that." " Oh, my God, is this you?" "You have to sign that for me." " Prick!" "I want a name!" " Jax!" "Yo!" "Jax!" "What's up, Donny?" "They ever gonna fix that buzzer?" " This is nice." "It's real leather." "Hey, Bobby." " Mm-hmm." " Are you deaf?" " No." " What is this?" "What is this?" " OeII phones." " OeII phones." "OeII phones." "What did I tell you on the phone?" " You said no cell phones?" "I thought you said you wanted cell phones;" "I'm sorry." "I got it." "I got it." "No more cell phones." " You got it." "A bunch of junk, as usual." "Give me the cash." " Here." " You're not holding out?" "Here." " This is it?" " That's it, Bobby." "Oh, you want more money?" " Yeah, I work all day." "I want more." " Oh. you want more?" " Yeah, I want more." " I got to eat too." " Bring me better shit, gold, diamonds, not a bunch of trinkets and junk." " You know I don't swipe diamonds, okay?" " You don't steal diamonds." "Oh, I forgot." "Oh, great." "It's too personal." "But you take watches." "Hmm." " Every jackass has a watch, right?" "You got a watch?" " You're really funny." "You're a funny guy." "You want to steal what you want, steal what you want." "You're just going to be working for me the rest of your life." "Everybody's got a man they got to answer to." "I got a man I got to answer to." " I know." " And so do you." "You got a man to answer to." "Me." " Excuse me." " Thank you so much for finding my wallet and giving it back to me." "I feel like, in this city," "I just feel like people really don't help strangers, you know?" " Yeah, life is weird like that." "Sometimes it just creates situations that throw two people together, you know?" " Kinda romantic." "I'm a romantic guy." " Oh, thanks." " Hey, no, no, no, I'm going to pay for this, okay?" " No, I couldn't." "really." "I mean, I would never want you to think that my kindness had anything to do with, you know, wanting something in return." "Thanks." " Wow." " Hey, listen up, they just got a red flag on that credit card that was stolen this morning on the subway." "Tazza restaurant." " No squad cars, no uniforms, okay?" " I'm afraid your card was declined." " declined?" " AII right, this is the universe saying" "I'm gonna pay for it." " No, no, I got another one." "Sometimes there's, Iike, a computer glitch or something." "That's embarrassing." " Sir, just talk to you for a second, privately?" " Yeah, sure." "Excuse us for one second." " The name on this card isn't even the same as the one on the first one." " really?" "Oh, I'm sorry." "Listen, I apologize." "I mean, this is the one that I usually put the $100 tips on, but if you want a different one, I" " Oh, yeah." "No, my mistake." " We good?" " Yeah, I think we're good Mr. Fujimoto." " It's Fugimato, Fugimato." " Ooh, my mistake." " The other day, I was totally walking home with two of the people from my band." "We were, Iike, three blocks from my house, and I turn back, and I see this guy who's kind of walking kind of creepy." " Oan you hold that story for one second?" "I just have to use the little boys' room." "Don't go anywhere." " I won't." " Excuse me." " Are you having a problem with a credit card?" " He was at this table." " Thanks." " Where did he go?" " well, he went to the bathroom." " Bathroom's back there." "Do I get to keep the tip?" " Whose cuffs are they?" " Bobby!" "Bobby!" "Bobby!" " What?" "What?" "What's the matter?" " There's a rat!" " It's just a mouse, Ma!" " Ugh!" " Ow!" "The mouse, Ma, not me." " It ran over there." "Bobby!" "It's over there!" "There, it's running." "Hurry up!" " Where, where, where?" " Right under the refrigerator!" " It got away." "Hey, you okay?" "You all right?" " I hate those things." " Jesus, Ma." "You tryin' to kill me?" "If I caught a heart attack, who would pay the rent?" " I'm goin' over to the church tonight, and I was thinking I couId leave your dinner in the fridge." " I'II just grab a burger or somethin'." " You want a burger, I'II make you a burger." "I'II leave it in the fridge." " Okay." "Fine." "Thanks." " You got a couple of dollars I couId use for bingo tonight?" " Again with the gambling, Ma?" "You know I don't like you gambling." "You want to end up like Pop?" " What gambling?" "It's bingo." "It's at the church." " Okay." "But I'm not paying off your debts when you're gone." "I had enough of that for one lifetime." " Work good?" " Mm-hmm." " Stocks up this month?" " Yeah." " You're a good boy, Bobby." " Hey." " Hey, uh..." " Lucy." " Yeah, no, I-Lucy." "I know." " I'm sorry." "I saw you from behind." "I wasn't sure if it was you, but..." "It was you." " It's been a" " Hi." " It's been a while." " Yeah, three months." " Yeah." "Wow." "How are you" " So what have you been up to?" " I've been good." " I'm good." "Good." " Not much." "I was just on my lunch break." " I tried calling you, but your phone was disconnected or something." " Yeah." "Yeah, no, I got a- I got a new one." "I mean, maybe we can get together for lunch sometime and, you know, catch up." "I'd do it now, but" " I'm pregnant." " You-you're what?" " Pregnant." " Wow, that's" "I mean, congratulations." "That's really great." "I-that's-wow." "How-how far along?" " Three months." " You said three?" " It's yours, Bobby." " Okay, hold on a second, because, you know, we only did it that one night so..." " actually, we did it a few times that night." " Right, but we only did it that one night." "well, once is enough." " Okay, uh..." "well, how do you know it's mine?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "That's a legitimate question." " What, you just think I sleep around?" "You think I'm a slut or something?" " well, we had a one-night stand, so given" " You had a one-night stand." "I tried calling you." " Hey, listen, listen." " Don't touch me." "Don't ever touch me again." " Excuse me." "Is everything okay?" " Look, it's fine." "She's my girlfriend." " Oh, that's a laugh!" " It's okay, officer." "What are you trying to do, get me arrested?" "Now, listen, you came looking for me." "I'm not gonna go chasing you all over town." "If you don't want to talk to me, then fine." " First of all, I didn't go looking for you." "I pretty much wrote you off three months ago." "I happened to see you standing there, thought maybe you'd Iike to know you're gonna have a kid out there in the world in case you bump into it one day." "So now you know." "You asshole." " Now, wait." "Just wait, will you?" " What can I get you?" " Hey, you got a Ioosie?" " What?" " Loosie, Ioosie." " Yeah, how'd you know?" " What?" " My name." "Lucy." " Psychic, I guess." " Hmm." " AII right, all right, all right." "Your father's debt?" "Now it's your debt." "From now on, you work for me." " Who am I?" "Who am I?" "Detective Bobby OorreIIi, that's who I am." "Right here." "I see you." "What are you, a squirrel?" "Stop in the name of the Iaw!" " Hey, Bobby." "Shut up!" " Take you downtown, and not for a drink either." " alex Rodriguez hits one deep to left." " plate glass window." "I Iike it." "Very Dirty Harry." " Listen, it was you." "You said whatever it takes." " Thanks, Pete." "That's what I Iike about you, sully." "always do everything just the way you want, never give a shit what anyone thinks." " well, why should I stop now?" "It's my Iife." "It's what I do." "What else am I gonna do?" "I'm not qualified for anything else." " So what's next?" " What's next?" "I'm gonna get my badge back, even if I have to kill that little prick." "Hey, good morning." " Who the hell are you?" " Um, I'm OarI." " Oh, OarI." "Ma!" "Ma!" " Oh, Bobby I thought you'd be at work by now." " Who the hell is this guy?" " OarI." " No, I got that." "What the hell is OarI doing here, in my bathrobe?" " You didn't tell him." " I didn't get a chance." "I didn't get a chance." " Okay, so, Bob, I'm a" "I'm a friend of your mother's." " He's a friend of mine from bingo." " Wait a minute." "Did this guy?" "Did the two of you" "Ah." " It's not what you think, Bobby." "We've been friends a Iong time." "I didn't want to tell you, but I think it's time." "Yeah." "OarI's asked me to move in with him." "It's not what you think." " What?" "I'm gonna kill this guy." " He's funny." "He's an ex-Marine." " What happened?" "You look like the walking dead." " well, death would be a welcome relief compared to the world of shit I Iive in right now." " talk to me." "I got your back." "tell me." " I got a girl pregnant." " Ooh." " Yeah." " Whoa." " That's funny." "Laugh it up." " Yeah, I got your back." "Way back, way, way back." "Like, toledo back." " Thanks." "I'm so screwed." " Let's see." " Ah!" " She do that?" "She punch you?" " No, I fell down the stairs." " AII right." "What's she gonna do?" "She gonna keep the kid?" " I don't know." "That option never came up." " Why would she want to keep a baby without a father?" "especially your baby." "Why don't you just give her some money, tell her to get rid of it?" "You're gonna be up to your neck in dirty diapers." "Listen to me." "Like a mission to the moon." "Abort." " Hey, listen, do you know where I can find Lucy?" " Who's asking?" " Me." " Who are you?" " I'm a friend of hers from childhood." " Ah, you know her from Ohio." " Yeah." " She grew up in Texas, jerkoff." "Look, just go away." " Does she still work here?" "I just want to talk to her, okay?" " Yeah, you and half of the guys in the bar." "Beat it before I beat you." " Wow, did you just come up with that yourself?" "Whoa, Lucy!" "Lucy!" "Lucy!" " You know this guy?" " No." " Lucy, it's me!" " Stay away from her!" " Get out of here!" " Okay." " What?" "No, wait, wait!" "Not you." " What are you doing here?" " I'm sorry about the- you know." "I just" "I mean, I was a little in shock when you..." "I mean, you tell a guy something like that, it's..." "So you-you want to keep it?" " Do I want to keep it?" "It's not a stray dog, you know." " No, I know." "I just-I'm just saying." " What?" "What are you saying?" "I'm listening to you, but you're not saying anything." "If you don't want to have the baby," "I'II help out, you know, with the money." " Gee, what a stand-up guy." " What do you want from me?" " I don't want anything from you." "You came here to see me, remember?" " I don't know why you want to have a baby." "Why do you want to bring a baby into this world with a shit father who doesn't want anything to do with it and a mother who can't afford to take care of it?" "I mean..." "I'm tryin' to help you out here, okay?" " You've already done enough." "Thanks." " I can't talk to you." "You just want to get smart all the time and walk away." " If I was smart," "I wouldn't have talked to you to begin with, and I just would have walked away." " See, that's what I'm talking about." "I'm trying to do my part here, okay?" "I want to find a good doctor, and I want to pay for it." "So what do you say?" " I say you're an asshole." "But I'II think about it." " Wait." "How do I get ahold of you?" " OaII me here." "I'm livin' out of Gomer's back office." " How much?" "No, I don't have insurance." "I don't want a free clinic okay?" "I want to pay for it." "No, I realize that, but..." "Okay, well, what if I paid cash?" "I mean, can we work a deal or something?" "hello?" "hello?" " I just came by to get the rest of my things." "Bobby, can you just say something?" " Or what?" "You gonna have your boyfriend beat me up?" " He's a good man." "He needs me." " What about me, Ma?" "I need you." " No, you don't." "You're taking care of me." "I don't want you to have to take care of me." "With OarI, we take care of each other." " Oh, yeah?" "Is that the arrangement you made with your bingo buddy?" " I Iove him, Bobby." "Not the way I Ioved your father and not the way I Iove you." "It's a different love." "Maybe someday you'II meet somebody, and you'II understand." "You'II know." "I got to go." "Look, he wants to invite you to dinner tomorrow night." "Start fresh." "Here's the number." "I'm happy, Bobby." "Oan't you be happy for me?" " Hey." "Turn the iron setting down." "Don't burn all his shirts like you do mine." "Hey, Jax." "No, no, I can't today." "I got to take care of some stuff." " Bobby." "Bobby OoreIIi." "That's you, right?" " What?" " Is that your name?" "You live here?" " Who?" " You, Bobby." " Me?" "I'm Tommy." " Tommy" " Tommy." "I'm just" "I was visiting my aunt." " You don't live here?" " No." " Hey, Bobby, how's it going?" "I hear your mother's getting married." "OongratuIations." " They got me, Jax." "They got me." "I don't know how they got me, but they got me." " Who?" "Who got you?" " The cops." "The cops got me." "They were all over my apartment like a bees' nest." "How did they get my name?" " I don't know." "I have no idea how they know." "Maybe it was your little girlfriend ratted you out." " She doesn't know what I do." " They follow you here?" " No." " How do you know?" " You're fine, okay?" " What are you gonna do?" " I don't know." "I mean, I got to lay low." "That's what I got to do." "Just got to lay low." " You find a place to do that thing?" " Yeah, EImsview hospital." "I was born there, so it must be good, right?" " Must be terrific." "Look how you turned out." "I need, Iike, a hundred bucks or something." "I got to stay at a motel." "I got nowhere to go." " Get out of here." " Give me a hundred bucks." "Where am I supposed to go?" "I don't got nothing, all right?" "Nothing for you." " I'm not joking." "I got nowhere to go." " No, I'm not gonna give you nothing." " Are you kidding me?" "Prick!" "You think I need you?" "I can just go pick a couple of wallets." "Hey, hey, hey, you got 20 bucks?" "No?" "What is wrong with this kid?" " Hey, Bobby." "If I were you, I'd stay off the subway." "Take a taxi." " Yeah, thanks." "Hey." "Hey, OarI." "It's Bobby." "Bobby, the guy you punched in the face." "Yeah, is- is my mother there?" "She's asleep?" "Okay." "No, no, I didn't realize what time it was." "Just tell her I'II see you guys tomorrow." "Okay?" "Yeah." "No, I'm fine." "Thanks, bye." "Lucy." "Lucy." " Why are you whispering?" "If you're gonna pound on the door like that, you might as well be screamin'." " I came to tell you that we have an appointment tomorrow at 2:00, so if that works for you..." " well, uh..." "It's 3:00 in the morning, so..." "I'II see you in about 11 hours." "Next time, try calling." "Oh, wait, you don't do that." " I had a rough night." "Maybe I can come in for a second, for a drink or something." " In case you haven't noticed, we're closed." " Oan I just come in for a minute, one minute?" "I" "I have nowhere else to go." "please." " For a minute." " You got a cigarette?" " Pregnant women don't smoke." "You still want that drink?" " Yeah." "Scotch, thanks." " You want to talk about it?" " About what?" "About whatever's got you worn slick." " Worn slick?" "What is that, Texas slang?" " How do you know I'm from Texas?" " I know a few things." " Then tell me, Mr. Know-a-Few Things, what's got you pounding on my door in the middle of the night?" " I got evicted." " Okay." " Oan I ask you a question?" "That Fred FIintstone guy your boyfriend?" " Why?" "Are you jealous?" " Ourious." " No, he's not." "I mean, he used to be." "He, um..." "He just looks out for me now." "Protective older brother." "In fact, he'd probably kill you if he knew you were here right now, especially if he knew you were the one that knocked me up." " He knows about..." " Yeah." "Why are you so curious about him?" " I don't know." "Just, you know, he's a Iot different than me, right?" "So I was just wondering, that night, you know, you" "I mean, if that's the type you Iike then why..." "Forget it." " You asking me why I went home with you that night?" " Yeah." " I've been asking myself that every day for three months." "It was your eyes." " My eyes?" " Yeah." "Yeah." "I liked your eyes." "You had really kind eyes." "It kind of reminded me of my father's." " So you went home with me because I had nice eyes." " Kind eyes." "plus, you know, I liked talking to you." "I thought you were funny and nice, and you had a great ass." "I let you walk me home, didn't I?" " Yeah." "Yeah." " And then when we got to my apartment, you didn't even try anything." "You just smiled and thanked me for a great time and said..." " "Good night."" " And I don't know;" "I guess I just didn't want the night to end." "But looking back, I should've ended it a Iot sooner, about three minutes sooner, if I remember correctly." "Speaking of minutes, yours is up." "Look, I got a big day tomorrow, so, you know." "And, listen, you don't, um..." "You don't have to go with me." "You know, you can just drop the money off and tell me where to go in the morning." " I told you I was taking you to a good doctor, and I'm taking you, okay?" "And that means taking you personally." " well, you don't have to." " well, I am." "So we'II meet at a 1 :45?" "It's on 39th street and 5th avenue." "It's called EImsview, okay?" " Yeah, okay, fine." " I'II see you tomorrow." "Thanks for the drink." "You got a cigarette?" "Hey, Lucy." "It's Bobby." "I got a problem." " So let me get this straight." "The money is in your apartment, but you want me to go get it." " That's right." " Because if your landlord sees you, he'II call the cops on account that you owe him rent money." " That's right." " So you want me sneak into your apartment and get the money, and if anyone sees me," "I'm supposed to say I'm the cleaning lady?" " That's right." " Oh, hmm." "Yeah." "And none of this sounds fishy to you?" " Okay, you're right." "That sounds stupid." "Just, uh..." "Okay, tell them you're visiting your aunt." " No, wait, I already used that." "Oh, just go with the cleaning lady, okay?" "That'II work." "Just tell them you're the cleaning lady, okay?" "And if anybody asks, you don't know me, and you don't know where I am." " well, if I don't know you, how would I know where you are?" " exactly." " Why don't you try telling me the truth?" " I told you, okay?" "That's my apartment." "These are my keys, and it's my money." "Now, if I couId get the money myself," "I would, but I can't." "So, you know, if you don't want to do it, that's fine, but I don't have the money, so..." " Jeez." "This place really could use a cleaning lady." " Did you get it?" "Good job." "Hey." " AII girls are evil." " Not a good time, man." "I'm on the way to do that thing." " Oh, yeah." "Let me know how it all comes out." " Funny." " Did you tell the whole world?" " How much?" " $18, please." " Watch it, jackass." " Hi." "My name's Lucy Atwood." "I have an appointment." " What time?" " Right now, actually." "Thank you." " please fill this out." " Okay." "Just my driver's license and social security?" " Yes, please." " Okay." " Hey." "Hey." " What's the matter?" " Um..." "I don't know-I don't know if I can do this." " well, technically, you don't have to do anything." "I'm the one that's gotta do." "You already did." " No, I mean... you know, maybe- maybe we should wait." " Wait?" " Yeah." " What, you think if I go home and take two aspirin, it might go away?" " I'm just sayin', you know, maybe" " No, Bobby." "You don't get to do this, okay?" "Now, I have been over this back and forth several times, and you made it pretty clear yesterday how you felt." "So let's just get it over with." " I think we should wait." " You-you think we should wait?" " Yeah." " You think we should wait?" "I think you're an asshole." " Ow!" "What'd you do that for?" " God, I hate you." " Stop it." " I hate you." "I hate you!" "Give me the money." "I'II do it myself." "We'II figure it out." " Where'd you put it?" "We'II figure it out." "will you just calm down, please?" "would you just calm down?" " I hate you." "I hate you!" "Just give me the money." " Lucy, I need you to trust me right now." "Run." " What?" " Run." " Oome on." " You've got to be kidding me." " Oome on." " No." " Taxi!" "Go." "Go." " Thanks." " Hey, Bob." "You're a little early." "I told your ma dinner, not lunch, right?" " well, we were-we were in the neighborhood, so..." " Oh, well, yeah." "Oome on in." "Hi." " Hi." " Yeah, I was actually just going for the groceries for your ma." "She, uh" "She gave me a list and everything." " My mom's not here?" " No, she went to the park with my grandkids." "I get to watch them once a week for my daughter." "They're cute little bastards." "They're twins." "So you're Bobby's girl, huh?" " No." "No." " No." " No?" "AII right, well, then I, uh" "I got to get to the store." "You-I don't know, you want to come?" " No." " No." " No?" "You want to stay?" " Yeah, no, we'II just wait for my mom." " AII right." "Oh." "Gee, Bob, I'm sorry." "Look, um..." "I Iove your mother, and I'm very protective;" "that's all." " Me too." "Smarmy asshole." " spill it." " What?" "What do you want to know?" " What do I want to know?" "Uh, gee, why have we been chased by the cops?" "What kind of trouble did you get me into?" "Who's OarI?" "And who the hell are you?" " OarI is my mother's boyfriend." "She just moved in here with him." " Right." "And the cops?" " I don't exactly work on wall Street." " Mm-hmm." "So I can rule out insider trading." " I'm a pickpocket." " What's so funny?" " A pickpocket?" "And that's why half the New York police force is after you?" " You heard about the cop who got his badge picked?" " Oh, wow." "This is great." "really." "My kid's father steals out of old ladies' handbags." " Hey, I never took from anybody who looked like they had less than me, okay?" " Oh, you're a regular Robin Hood." " You know, you don't know my situation." " Yeah, you're right." "I don't know you at all." " What are you talking about?" "I'm the same guy you met that night at the bar, except I have a different job than you thought." " Are you insane?" "That's not a job, Bobby." "You steal." " Okay, don't do that." "Don't-don't judge me." "My father left me with 500 grand in gambling debts and a mother who didn't work." "I had no choice." " Why didn't you just go to the cops?" " Because he threatened to kill my mother." " Why do you steal now?" " I still owe him about 1 00K." " Oh." " Oh, come on, what-what are you doing?" " I'm taking the money." "I'm not bringing a kid into this world so they can go visit their father at the state pen during Ohristmas." "Where'd you put it?" " It's in the jacket." " No, it's not." " What are you talking about?" " It's not in here." " What did you do with it?" "Did you lose it?" " What do you mean, did I lose it?" "It was in your jacket." " When you were beating the crap out of me at the hospital." "You took it, remember?" " I didn't take it." "You grabbed my arms and kissed me, remember?" "Maybe it fell out in the cab." "Or when that guy bumped into you or something." "Oh, that's classic." "A pickpocket who gets pickpocketed." "Jesus." " Reach for the sky and empty out your pockets, Mister." " Too late for that." " Bobby." "You're early." "Where's OarI?" " Store." " Go play with your little furry friends." "Hi." "I'm Bobby's mother, Rita." " I'm Lucy." " Wow." "I can't remember the Iast time" "Bobby brought a girl home to meet me." " You must be" " Leaving, Mom." "She was just leaving." "She's just a friend." "Listen, uh..." "I'II-I'II come by later." "We'II talk about the thing." " Wait, wait." "Don't be so rude." "Maybe she'd Iike to stay for dinner." "I'm gonna make some lasagna." "It's Bobby's favorite." " Mmm." "Yummy." "I'd love to." " Yeah?" "Great." "I'II go start." "Okay." "I'II help." " You that hungry?" " I am eating for two." " Just don't say anything to my mother." " Oh, now why would I want to upset Grammie?" " Hey, Mister, do you want to play a board game?" " No." " A video game?" " No." " How about cops and robbers?" " definitely no." " So how do you know my Bobby?" " We, um..." "We have a mutual friend." " Ah." "You know, I think Bobby really likes you." " What makes you say that?" " well, he always gets so frustrated around girls he really likes." "It's like he doesn't want to show them he cares about them." "You know how boys are." "always puIIin' the pigtails of the girls they like." " Orap?" " It's called craps." "That's the name of the game, okay?" "It's a very serious game." "7 and 11 on the first roll wins." "2, 3, 12 loses on the first throw." "After that, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, that becomes your point." "You got to hit your point to win." "If you hit a 7 after that, then you crap out, all right?" "Nicky, you go first." "No, no, no, wait." "We have to place our bets, okay?" "place your bets, boys!" "There you go." "roll the dice." "AII right, 4." "That's what we call little Joe, okay?" "So now you got to hit little Joe to win." "Now, you can have fun with it." "blow into the dice." "Oome on, little Joe!" "Oome on, little Joe!" " Oome on, little Joe!" "Oome on, little Joe!" "I win!" " No, no, no, you lose." "That's a-that's a crap out." "We get your candy." "See what happens when you gamble?" "AII right, now you play." " Hey, lady." "You want a piece of the action?" " No, I've had enough action for one day." "Thank you." " Okay." "Rita, I got the fresh pomodoro." " She's in the kitchen." "I'II help you." " No, no, I got it." "Besides, mi casa su casa." "And I got an excuse now to go see the most beautiful girl in the world." "Hey, baby." " Jesus' name we pray." " Amen." " Amen." " Amen." " So, Bob, Rita tells me you work in stocks." " Yep." " And how's that going for you?" " It's got its ups and downs." " actually, weren't you just telling me you were having trouble paying your rent lately?" " well, if you're ever looking for a steady gig, you can come down and see me." "Give me a call." " OarI owns a jewelry store downtown." " Diamonds are a girl's best friend, right, Grampie?" " Yep." "And?" " Don't buy retail." " well, I'II keep it in mind." " And If you know anybody who's looking for a nice engagement ring, tell OarI." "He'II give you a good price." " Thanks, Mom." " Lucy's a professional photographer." " Oh, no." " Is that right?" " mostly freelance." "But right now, I'm working in a bar part-time." "You know, it's not much, but at Ieast it's an honest living." " You're right about that." "Rita said you were from Texas." " Mm-hmm." "Yeah, I'm actually heading back this Saturday." " Wow, that's too bad." "Yeah, I think I'm gonna, you know, move back in with my sister, you know, work at a- at a photography studio shooting portraits." "That sort of thing." " And you were planning on telling me when?" " well, I wasn't really planning anything with you." " How's the lasagna?" " It's delicious." " wonderful." "Excuse me." " Do you need to use the ladies' room?" " No." " We don't got a ladies' room." "Grampie's only got a bathroom." " Lucy, are you okay?" "What's the matter?" "Hey, hey!" " OaII 911!" " Breathe." " I'm not going into labor, you moron." "I'm only three months pregnant!" " Bobby!" " Ma..." "Oh, shit." " Why didn't you tell me, Bobby?" " I didn't want to worry you, Ma." " What worry me?" "Why would havin' a grandkid worry me?" "Does she want to keep it?" " I don't know." " Do you love her?" " I don't know, Mom." "I mean, I don't know what love is." "How do you- how do you know?" " well, when she said she was leaving on Saturday, how'd that make you feel?" " Sick." " And when we were on our way to the hospital, how did you feel?" "Sometimes it takes almost losing what we have to make us realize how lucky we are to have it." "Dr. phil." "I'm gonna get going." "I'II leave you two alone." " Hey." " Hi." " The doctors said you're gonna be okay." "They said you just need to rest." " What about the baby?" " The baby's gonna be okay." "What?" "Hey." "Don't worry." "The baby's gonna be okay." "You're gonna be fine." " I just thought it wouId take care of itself." "I just-I don't know what I'm gonna do." " Hey, listen, what we're gonna do." "It's not just you anymore." "It's us." "Right?" " Oome on, Bobby." "You don't want to have a kid." "We barely know each other." "I mean, you couldn't even remember my name a few a days ago." " Is that what you think?" "That I couldn't remember your name?" "You want to know the truth?" " Yeah, the truth would be nice for once." " Okay." "Okay." "Fine." "After that night," "I couldn't stop thinking about you." "I thought about you so much, I was going nuts." "I mean, I finally had you out of my head, and then there you were right in front of me." "I got so nervous, I couldn't even talk." " Why didn't you call me?" " I was scared." "When I woke up that morning," "I Iooked over, and you were so beautiful." "You're so beautiful." "First time I didn't want to leave." "That's never happened to me before." "I went to write down my real number on a piece of paper, and then I" "I crumpled it up, and I wrote a fake number instead." "Then I-then I wrote my real number down." "I crumpled that up, and, I don't know," "I must have gone back and forth and done that, Iike, ten times." "And then I finally took all the crumpled pieces of paper, and I put it in my pocket, and when I went to leave," "I picked one out, and I thought," ""Hey, if this is the real number, then it's meant to be."" "I kind of let fate decide, you know?" "I know." "I'm an asshole." "It was stupid." "I regretted it, but..." "I didn't forget your name, Lucy." "I couldn't." "I tried." "believe me." " Why should I believe you?" " I been carrying around that for three months." "I have problems with commitment." " Yeah, I know." "You can't even commit to a brand of cigarettes." " I'm not gonna run away from this, okay?" "That's my commitment to you." " I can't be with someone who steals from people." " Then I'm done." "I'II quit." "Give me a chance, okay?" "I'II prove it to you." "Just give me a chance." " And you'II quit?" "You can quit just like that?" "For me?" "Okay." " Hey, hey, you guys." "Get a room." "Visiting hours are over, and you need your rest." " You're in with the cops, Jax?" "You're in with the cops?" "You?" " Shut up!" "I should kill you right now." " Why would you sell me out like that?" " We ain't friends!" " I gave up my Iife, Jax!" "I gave up my Iife!" " We are not friends!" "Don't mess with my business!" "steal a cop's badge?" "Did you bring me money from that?" "Those cops came barging into my house!" "My house!" " You work for me now." " That's funny?" "What, is that supposed to be funny?" "I told them where you live." "I told them where you'd be and when you'd be there." " You had that guy steal my money." " Yeah, I did." "I figured you'd have some money on you." "Mr. morality." "He's gotta pay for all that shit with his girlfriend." "She couldn't chip in nothing." "That friend did me a favor." "That friend ratted me out." " Give me a name!" " Jax." " Did I get mad at him?" "No." "You know why?" "Because it's business, Bobby." "Business." "It's not personal." "It's over." " Wait." "Wait." "Listen." " Detective SuIIivan." " What if I couId get you your 50 grand back and everything I owe you?" " It's too late." "Okay, okay, you know what?" "OaII the cops." "OaII the cops, Jax." "They got nothing on me." "Look, I don't have the badge." "You and I both know, without that badge they got nothing." " Lock the door!" " Nothing." " This game is over now." " I got a score we could pull that'II get you so much money, you won't have to nickeI-and-dime anymore." "You like diamonds?" " I'm listening." "It better be good." " I'm gonna get you some diamonds." " Bobby?" " Oh, hey." " Hi." " How you feeling?" " I'm a Iot better." "They said I can probably go home this afternoon." "You know, they're just waiting on a few more test results to make sure." "You okay?" " Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." " Are those for me?" " Oh, yeah." "Sorry." " Thank you." " Listen, Lucy, I know I said yesterday that I couId quit, but..." "well, something kind of came up, and I got to do this- this one last thing." " What are you talking about?" " It's just-it's just a little complicated." "I just need you to trust me." "I mean, the whole reason why I'm telling you any of this is because I want to be honest with you." " Be honest with me?" "You haven't told me anything." " I know." "I-Iook, I can't." "I wish I couId, but..." " You try to run, or you tell anybody, and I swear to God, I'II fucking kill you, and I'II kill her." " I swear." "After tomorrow, it'II all be over." "I'II be done." " well, I won't be here tomorrow." "I'm getting on a plane, remember?" " Just give me the day." "Okay?" "I'II explain everything." "I Iove you." "Hey, OarI." "It-it's Bobby." "Listen, I need a favor." " We're closed." " I'm Bobby's friend." " Oh, yeah, sure." "Yeah, Bobby mentioned you were gonna come." "Oome on in." "I'm OarI." " You're OarI?" " Yeah." " I'm Dennis." " Hey, Dennis." " I'm really sorry I'm late." "I just got off work." " No, that's okay." "So Bobby tells me you work on wall Street together, huh?" " No, no." "I'm his boss." " Oh, and, you're looking for an engagement ring, right?" " Yeah." " I'm gonna tell you the truth." "I know nothing about jewelry." "I mean, really nothing." "I don't wear anything." " I won't hold that against you." "But my fiancée has very expensive taste, and I want to get her something really nice." " How much you lookin' to spend?" " I'm looking to spend about $30,000, if I can get something nice for that." " $30,000." " That would be great." " Yeah." "You-you must be doing very well." " I get by, yeah." " AII right, Iet me bring something out." "These are all 2 1/2 to 3 karats." "They're VVS 1 and 2s and pretty much all J color." " That's not an engagement ring, is it?" " Yeah, it is." "If there's a diamond in here that you Iike, but you don't like the setting, something like her grandmother has a ring that she used, and she wants to put the diamond in it..." "Do you know what style she might prefer?" " Everything about getting married is so stressful." "I thought-I thought an engagement ring was one style." "I didn't know there were so many different styles." " Why don't you fish around a little bit more, you know?" "Go around with her maybe this weekend, and when you see something or she sees something that she likes, then you guys can come back here." " I got a bunch of people at my house tonight, and I was hoping, really hoping, to bring something for her." "You know, I got food there." "We're having a whole big party." " I can't bring all of this." " I have a simple idea." "I got $15,000." " It's not about the money." " No, no, no." "Just listen." "Listen to what I'm gonna say." "Let me give you a deposit." "We take a bunch of rings, whichever ones you think she'II like." "We bring them over there." "I'm two minutes away." " Dennis, I'm trying to be- you know, I know you're Bobby's friend." " Whatever one she likes, as long as we're in that range of price," "I'II pay you the balance in cash right there." " You're talking- there's over- over a half a million dollars in diamonds there." " If you want," "I'II give you a check right now for the whole thing." " I don't like to take the diamonds out of the store." " I have enough cash there to pay you the balance." "You'II make a sale tonight." "believe me, she'II pick a stone in one second." "She'II probably pick the most expensive one." " Because you're Bobby's friend, I'II take the cash, put this in the safe, and we can go and surprise your girlfriend." " You don't want me to just give you everything together?" " No, this is good." "I Iike your idea." " Why don't I just hold the money, and I can pay everything at one time." " Oh, you know, it's bad enough that I have to take the diamonds." "I'd-I'd rather leave the cash here." " You sure?" "I mean, I can just pay everything together." " No, yeah, yeah, I'm sure." "And actually, Iet me just" "I'II make a gift of a pair of these earrings, which is a really nice" "Okay." "You ready?" " Yeah." " I remember this neighborhood." " Oh, yeah?" "Listen, you want to do me a favor?" "Oan I borrow your cell phone one second?" "I just want to call and make sure she's home." " Sure." " I was taking a piss yesterday, and I dropped it right in the toilet." " really?" "My father's teeth fell out once." "OaII 911!" "Jesus Ohrist!" "Did you see where he came from?" "911." "Yes." "I need the police!" "Jesus!" "Yes, I was just burgIarized on West Broadway" " Prince." "tell 'em he's got a green coat, a green coat on." " It's an army jacket, a green jacket." "He's got reddish hair." "My whole world is in that case." "Oh, my God." " I feel so terrible." "It's over half a million dollars in diamonds and cash." " I'm really sorry." "He came like a lightning bolt, you know?" "Are you okay, though?" "You're okay?" " Yes." "It's not your fault." " I'm, I'm really- I feel like it's my fault." "I feel terrible." "Don't worry, though." "The cops, they'II find him for sure." "I guarantee you they'II catch him." " holy shit!" "What the hell took you so long?" " He had the balls to ask me to go down to the cops with him and be a witness." "I was like, "Yeah, right." ""Man, I got to- I'm late for my fiancée." "You know, I gotta go, buddy."" " Fiancée." "His fiancée." "I didn't even know we were dating." " Very funny." "Where's Bobby?" " He's not here." "Whoa, what are you doing?" "I thought we were waiting until we were all here before" " Listen to me." "Bobby ain't getting shit, all right?" "I'm gonna give you one ring, then we're closing up shop here." "Donny!" " OIosing up shop?" " Lock the door!" " well, where are you gonna go?" " Like I'm gonna tell you." "Yeah." " Everybody on the ground!" "Put your hands behind your head!" " You okay?" " No." " Good." " What kind?" " Don't know." "It's a Ioosie." "I quit." " Smoking or stealing?" " Both." " What's that?" " I'd get down on one knee, but, you know," "I'm sitting in a gutter." "It probably wouldn't be that romantic." " Hey, that wouldn't be from your last job, would it?" " OarI gave me a good deal, future employee discount." "Lucy." " I know." "OarI came to visit me at the hospital and told me what you guys were doing." " And you still let Gomer beat the crap out of me?" " well, I was kind of pissed you didn't tell me yourself." "He did a pretty good job, though." " Are you sure?" " No." "So..." "What happens now?" " Oan I ask you a question?" " Sure." " Do they have subways in Texas?" " Shut up." "Oh, my God."
