"Hey, Brad!" "Brad." "He took our money." "We" " We just wanted a bottle of J.D.," "And he said he'd go in and get it for us if we gave him the money." "How much money?" "How much?" "Five dollars." "He bought himself a bottle of Gin." " Did you take their money?" " Yeah, I took five dollars." "I was gonna give this to them, but they're smart-ass kids, and now they're not getting it." "You'll give it back now?" "No, i'm not gonna give it back." "You're not gonna give it back to them?" "No, I'm not 'cause this kid's an asshole." "Which one?" "The big one." "That's my brother." "Yeah." "That's your brother?" "Take care of him." "He's too young to drink." "Give him the money back." "I'm not giving him the money back, and what are you gonna do about it?" "Fuck you and fuck them." "That's what I thought." "Brad?" "Do you?" "Get off the car, kid." "You wanna play?" "All right." "I can play." "Come on." "Get off." "All right, kid." "You asked for it." "Faster." "Come on." "Whoa." "Get off, you nutcase." "All right, kid, come on." "Get off of the car." " What do you want?" " The five." "Now get off the car, all right?" "Now what do you want?" " The gin." " I gave you the five." "Hey, man, you know, we got your license plates." "Now will you get off the car?" "You're weird, kid." "You know that?" "That was fucking great, man." "I liked it." "Drink your gin, get in the truck." "Don't you want some of this?" "Come on, man." "Nice move, man." "Hi." "Hello." "Is this your friend?" "Yeah, Jill." "Jill." "Hi, Jill." "Hi." "You got a name?" "Brad?" "You don't sound so sure." "Oh, I'm Terry." "Terry." "Hi." "You have a really nice smile." "Thanks." "Terry doesn't take drugs." "What are they?" "I don't really know." "They make things stronger." "What is that supposed to mean?" "Whatever you feel, it makes you feel it stronger." "Brad!" "Just get her phone number and come on." "Just get her phone number." "Who's that?" "My brother and his partner." "I gotta drive them, I guess." "Will I see you down here again?" "I don't know." "Well, where will I see you?" "Um," "Well, I guess I could be here, like, day after tomorrow." "All right." "Well, I'll see you then." "Okay." "Okay." "Bye." "Ooh-hoo." "Bradford." "Did you tell her your name was Bradford?" "The Toyota SR-5." "The truck that feels like a sports car." "O-O-Oh, what a feeling" "To drive..." "Toyota" "Hey, Brad." "You're always trying to go out with those real pretty women." "All they got is a cunt." "They're all the same." "They tell you they want you to" " To talk nice..." "And act nice." "Hello!" "Yeah, come on in." "All they got is a goddamned cunt." "What you doing?" "My truck's all fucked up." "Is she home?" "No." "No." "Now who's that?" "I wanna give her some money." "Goddamn." "Huh?" "I said, "she could sure use it."" "So, what do you think, a hundred?" "Two, three?" "What?" "Brad." "Yeah." "Tommy?" "No." "Ah." "See ya." "How old are you now, anyway?" "Old enough." "Damn." "Do you know where he's living at?" "I don't care." "He's up in Homeville." "Little Brad..." "Don't even think about it." "Is that my beer you're drinking?" "There's a Colt 45." "You can't afford it." "You know, that shit you guys are smoking is gonna rot your brains," "But I guess in your case, that ain't no damage done, is it?" "Why don't you get a job, boy?" "I tried that." "You quit as soon as you paid off that damn truck, didn't you?" "That's right." "We ain't all got it so lucky around here, you know?" "You see your mom in there." "She's gotta work in the morning." "Your grandma's gotta work." "But more important, I gotta work tomorrow, and I need some sleep." "You turn that damn thing on again, and I'll beat the Jesus out of you." "There ain't no Jesus in me." "Go to bed, Tommy." "Look, Ernie." "This here is my house." "You lived here four years." "Before that Rising Sun, six, before that, Jennersville." "You've been five months with her." "You don't ever tell me what to do." "Ernie." "Ernie!" "All right, enough." "You little son of a" "Yeah, Homeville." "Number for Bradford Whitewood sr., please." "I guess you must have heard about me or something." "I guess." "What'd you hear?" "I heard you was a thief." "What do you think about that?" "Looks like you make pretty good money at it." "Well, to some folks, I'm just the devil in blue suede shoes." "Don't you believe it, okay?" "Okay." "I never stole nothing, hear?" "Yeah." "Don't you worry about getting a speeding ticket?" "Kid, you look a thousand miles any direction..." "From tennessee to toronto," "I go back roads just about anyplace." "Never touch the interstate." "Never see one goddamn cop." "Besides, this ain't fast." "Hello?" "That's my son." "It's Brad." "He'll be staying with us..." "A couple- A few weeks." "This is your uncle Dickie." " Uncle Patch." " Hi, kid." "That's boyd." "Tony Pine." "He's epileptic." "They're sort of part of the family." "And, uh, my sister and mother." "That's Mary Sue." "Hi, Brad jr." "Mary Sue's about five years older than you." " You're own family." " We're late." "Mary Sue, show him that room we got." "Hell, he's cute." "See you tomorrow." "I didn't know you had a son, Brad." "Got two." "Sort of." "Old Braddy went to prison." "Julie started dickin' some grease monkey from willerton." "Nine months later, out popped Tommy." "What exactly are you saying?" "Nothing." "Nothing." "I didn't say nothing." "Just one thing here." "You don't say nothing against the family." "Okay." "Let's go to work." "So, uh, where'd they go, anyway?" "One's coming." "Okay, I hear it." "Patch, what's that car?" "Brad." "Brad, we lost our lookout." "Yo." "I think your brother's out there pinching hubcaps or something." "I'll stay where I can hear you." " Hundreds?" " Twenties." "You remind me of a guy i knew in high school." "Only he was a real doofus." "Go for a ride?" "Sure." "Gimme that foot." "Gimme those little piggies." "Mmm." "Time to do some laundry." "Kid, you like pussy?" "Yeah." "Smart boy." "What's the sexiest thing you ever thought of in your whole life?" "Excuse me." "Can I help you?" "Yeah." "You got" " You got, what, $5,500 on that car?" "I'll give you five..." "cash." "Do I drive her out?" "What are we doing here?" "Laundry." "You know that truck of mine's gone punk dead." "I could sure use a slick car sometime." "Maybe." " Good afternoon, sir." " Yeah." "I just bought this car..." "For 5,500." "It's a cherry." " Would you give me 46 for her?" " Why are you selling it?" "I don't like the radio." "You're kidding." "No." "Mom said, "that's my son." "Nobody touches my son."" "And she threw his suitcase down the stairs." "I wish I'd seen that." "Brad, when are you gonna come home?" "I don't know." "I'm hoping dad might give me something." "Yeah?" "What?" "Hey, Jill." "Jill." "Hey, Terry's friend." "Hi." "Hi." "You scared the hell out of me." "Sorry." "Well, thanks for coming out." "I can only stay a minute." "Oh, well, your friend, Jill," "Didn't know if you wanted to come out at all." "Jill." "So, you do remember me, huh?" " Sure." " You were supposed to meet me, you know, that night." "I know." "My mother wouldn't let me out." "And then I tried to sneak out, and she caught me." "Really?" "Yeah." "She grounded me for two weeks." "She says until I'm 17, i can only go out" " You're only 16?" " Yeah, so?" "I thought about your smile a lot." "I thought about you too." "Jill says your last name's Whitewood?" "Yeah." "Your father's got kind of a rep." "Well, yeah." "Don't believe everything you hear." " Terry." " Oh, shit." "I gotta go." "Wait a minute." "Jill didn't give me your number or anything." "555-6239." "555-6239." "Three-nine." "Yeah, okay." "Wait." "Don't go yet." "Um- Terry?" "I gotta go." "Bye." "Ha!" "Hey, Patch, how come you don't go out with them anymore?" "The other guys." "'Cause your daddy's a dickface." "Don't want me having no money." "Don't want me having no fun." "One day, I'm gonna have my own empire." "I'm gonna steal everything." " Wanna help me?" " I don't know." "Sure you can." "You ever steal a police car?" "No." "Me neither." "Hey, we could steal a whole lot of stuff, you and me." "There's no sense sitting around a dump like this, wasting our time." "I heard that." "I mean, there's a world out there waiting." "Tell you what." "Let's you and me go in the next room..." "And start sniffing some ideas." "Let's go." ""Ideas" is my middle name." "What do you think?" "It's fuckin' beautiful." "It's a piece of shit, but it's yours." "Is it legal?" "Yes, it's legal." "There's parts on it borrowed, but..." "Registration's clean." "Don't never say i done nothing for you." "Just don't know if I could ever pay you back." "Try this." "Stay clear of my brother." "Which one?" "You know damn well, boy." "Okay." "It's a good way for me to make some money, you know?" "It's something I can do." "You two jackasses, you'll both end up in jail." "Then, you teach me." "You show me what to do." "If I'm gonna learn, I should learn right, from you." "I got no time." "Just to show me?" "Don't seem right." "Come on, dad." "I get some guys together." "I don't know." "We'll see." "You better go on home." "To your mother's." "Yeah." "I don't know why, but..." "You make Mary Sue awful skittish." "Five." "I'm going to bed." "Ten, eleven, two, three" " Wait!" "Wait, wait." "Julie, wait." "You've got" " Mom." "Okay, she left." "Hold on." "Six, seven." "Six plus five... is eleven." "Is 11." "One, two, three, four..." "Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven." "My property." "No problem." "Now we're gonna split her property up." "I'll take boardwalk and park place." "No." "You can take- No, I want boardwalk." "No, see, grandma, if you take this property," "You'll have a hotel on each, and there's better odds of landing on it." "No, I want boardwalk. 'Cause there's three of them and there's only" "Big Brad, you know," "When I married him, he had the biggest eyes you ever saw," "And he courted me like a regular gentleman." "With flowers and everything." "Good night, little Brad." "Good night." "Hey, Brad." "Are you awake?" "There's a girl on the phone." "I'd better get you home before your mother starts to worry." "It's nice to meet you." "Likewise." "Good-bye." "What's he like?" "Who?" "Find one there." "Find one right there." "Back in there too." "How can you tell?" "Size of the lawn, size of the stroke." "Regular mower cuts about a foot wide." "Good tractor do you three or four." "See, most people that drive through here," "They see farms," "Houses and fields and shit." "I see money." "Everywhere i go I see money." "I see things that can move." "Anything can move, it's got my name written on it." ""Brad Whitewood, please hold for the delivery."" " My name too." " Yeah, little bastard." "Oh, wait, I forgot." "You's the bastard, ain't ya?" "Hey." "I didn't mean nothing by it." "I swear I didn't mean nothing by it." "One day, you know what?" "You know what I'm gonna do?" "Give you guys a present." "What do you think of that?" "Looks like a pretty nice gun." "Fuckin' A-plus, it's a nice gun." "It's 350, retail." "I got a good price on mine." "Real good." "Wanna touch it?" "Can I?" "Is that all right?" " Do you like it?" " I like it a lot." "You can't have it." "It's mine." "I already give you a car." "That don't mean nothing." "I gotta see something in you." "I gotta see you got something... right here..." "Between the legs," "Then I'll give you a real present." "You wanna see we got something?" "We'll show you something." "We'll show you something tonight." "Yeah?" "Hey, Brad." "How's it going?" " These your new recruits?" " These are my sons, lester." "Oh, well," "You boys have a very interesting family." "Get out of my face, lester." "For instance, remember when we stole those muskets..." "From the revolutionary war museum?" "Of course, dickie conked out that, uh, janitor, making it..." "Grand larceny, aggravated assault." "But it was a good time, right, Brad?" "Oh, yeah, you're smart." "You don't wanna talk to me." "Come on, Brad." "I wanna work with you again." "I need some of that action." "Why, so you can tell the cops?" "Cops?" "Ain't so bad." "Just doing their job." "Just kidding." "Okay, I know." "I'm going." "I'm going." "I'm gone." "The boy ain't got the life expectancy of a housefly." "Like this one time, Patch goes into this jewelry store, right?" "He asks to see this $500 watch." "So, the lady, she shows it to him, all right," "But she don't wanna take her paws off it." "He's tugging' one direction, she's tugging' the other direction." "Finally, pulls up his sleeve, he goes, "lady, mine's worth a thousand." "Why the hell would I want yours?"" "This makes sense to her, right?" "So, she takes her hands off the thing." "He grabs the son of a bitch and hightails it out of the store." "Shit!" "Something's coming." "Oh, what a feeling" "Don't stop oh, what a feeling" "Tomorrow, tomorrow oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling" "Toyota" "Hurry up!" "We gotta get this stuff to a truck stop before dawn." "Yo, Brad!" "Yo!" "Telephone!" "All right." "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty." "You're one to talk." "Hey!" "Make it spicy, Rose." "Yo, what you got?" "Shot." "Say again." "Shot." "I got shot, man." "Birdshot in the face." "Bad?" "Well, it hurts." " Get any tractors?" " No." " Go on home, then." " I can't." "Not with my face like this." "You can't go to my place if that's what you're asking." "Mary Sue, me, we're here, we're helping out..." "late." "Be at it all night." "Can I come where you're at?" "You got a woman..." "Someplace." "I want you both downstairs with your clothes on in five minutes." "Do you hear me, Terry?" "Whoo!" "Sorry." "Hey." "Wake up." "You know, I know my mom." "She's not gonna sit there." "She's gonna call the cops after me." "I mean, what are we gonna do?" "We got $18 left." "I'm gonna have to go home." "Listen." "If we can sometime," "You wanna go somewhere?" "Get our own place together?" "Okay." "You mean it?" "Sure." "I mean it." "Okay." "It might take a little while, but I can do it." "How?" "Don't worry about it." "I'll take care of it." "I worry about it." "If you're thinkin' you're too cool to boogie" "Boy, oh, boy have I got news for you" "Everybody here tonight must boogie" "And right there, sitting on my lap... was the most beautiful woman you guys ever seen in your life." "Mm-hmm." "Beautiful?" "She was a hooker." "She wasn't a hooker." "She was a... architect." "Oh, boogie" "Boogie no more some big firm in Philly." "You can't boogie no more" "Boogie boogie no more" "Listen to the music except for the assholes and the faggots," "I'm the richest son of a bitch in this county." "Mind if I sit down?" "I want you to taste something 'cause I saw you sitting there." "Yeah, see now." "Yeah." "Private stock." "There's no time to waste" "Let's get this show on the road" "Were you here last week, hustling?" "No." "I thought I saw you last week." "Wait just a minute." "I need some I.D. on the lady." "I shall return." "The sooner we begin" "Get outta here." "Andy, that's my son." "Hell, Brad, I can't" " Yeah, this girl, she's 23." "Listen to the music and let your body move" "Dad, this is Terry." "Hi." "Hi." "You treat my boy right." "I will." "I do." "Come on." "Sit down." "Make yourself at home." "Listen, Terry?" "That's Patch." "Yeah." "Dickie." "Boyd." "Tony Pine." "He's epileptic." "What you drinking?" "I'm fine." "Thanks." "You're overage." "She's 42." "I'll have a Rolling Rock." "Hmm." "I'll have a whiskey sour." "Whiskey sour?" "They're good." "Yeah." "We're real glad to get to meet you, Terry." "What do you think..." "Now that you get to see us all in the flesh?" "I don't know." "Heard a lot about you." " Nice things?" " You ain't done nothin' nice, Brad." "I hope not." "What'd you hear?" "Different things." "Dad, we wanna talk to you for a moment." "I came here 'cause I wanted to ask you about this." "See, Terry and I, we wanna live together." "We wanna get a place like that." "It's gonna cost some real money." "So, I wanna join up with you guys." "Just temporarily." "Fine." "Fine." "You don't have to let him in." "But you know, he's better than you." "Would you excuse us?" "It's all right." "That's not right." "You wanna talk to me?" "You talk to me in private." "I'll tell you something." "That girl is trouble." "She's nice, she's young, big mouth." "You stick with us." "You stick by me." "You can see this is a group." "You know, you don't violate that." "Take her home." "Don't ever do that again." "Okay?" "Don't worry about it." "It's okay." "And look." "Everything will work out fine." "Yeah." "Okay." "Sorry." "Go ahead." "What else?" "Well, this group of guys, whatever you call it..." "Goes all over the country, huh?" "Yeah." "And it's organized?" "Organized?" "Yeah." "Enough." "It's just guys, you know." "I know guys, and Tony Pine knows some." "Boyd, my brothers, everybody knows some people." "These people know people." "Before you know it," "You know everybody you gotta know to get the job done." "That's it." "How do you keep cops off your ass?" "I got a friend who reads the police memos." "For instance, they just got this report..." "There's more tractors stolen in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania" "That's us" " Than all the other 47 states together." "Makes the cops around here kinda peppy, so..." "We lay off tractors for a while." "Anything else?" "Why are you letting me ask you all this?" "'Cause you gotta know." "I gotta make sure you walk into this with your eyes wide..." "And know what you're doing and who you're with." "Especially, you know, it's a family situation." "You go out with us once or twice." "See how it is, then you decide." "If you still want it - 'Cause if you do, that's it." "It's blood." "Don't break it." "Don't want none." "Here you go, Dickie." "The caretaker's light just went on." "Okay, don't move at all!" "Don't move." "Good." "Good goin', kid." "Bye-bye." "Go, go, go!" "You know what?" "I've been thinking." "I oughta sign up at the university." "Hey, that's a real good idea, Patch." "That's real swift." "No, no, no, no, no." "Take one of them art courses." "We go into a joint like that, must be t-t-trillions" "Hundreds of trillions of dollars hanging on the wall." "And we're too dumb to know which ones to take." "Take the ugly ones." "Uglier they are, more they're worth." "That's right." "What?" "You showed me something tonight." "What?" "My own blood." "Am I right?" " You're gonna make it." " Heard that." "Lookie here." "Good ol' detective Mosker." "He's really got class." "Havin' hamburger steak." "Well, hello." "See ya later." "Oh, I know." "Did you hear about that girl that was eight before she was seven?" "Oop, I hate those short eyes jokes." "Look who waited up." "Well, I didn't want you getting the wrong idea," "My sharing' dinner with some fuckin' cop." "We didn't get the wrong idea, Lester." "We got the right idea." "Yeah." "Wanna go out?" "A job?" "Right now." "Okay, no, I" " Don't say no." "It's your chance to prove yourself." "Come on, lester." "I know you're a good man." "Catch up." "Come on, drink up, drink up." "That's more like it." "We're drunk as skunks," "And we want you to feel just as good." "That's more like it." "Ah!" "I have somethin'." "You gettin' high?" "Drink it, it's for you." "I don't know." "Eat this." "Eat this." "What is it?" "It's, uh, somethin' to eat." "Eat it." "What you been tellin' the cops, lester?" "Nothin'!" "What you talkin' to mosker about?" "The weather, the phillies?" "No." "No, just, uh" "I know you've been talkin' about somethin'." "I'm scared." "What?" "You can't be scared." "You're a tough guy." "You used to be a member of the Whitewood gang." "Yeah, I know, but" "What'd you say?" "Speak up." "Well, I, uh, I sold him some information." "Leave him alone." "Uh-huh." "Yeah, but it wasn't true." "It was about soleski." "Oh?" "Oh, I hate him." "Yeah, I know." "I" " I-I wouldn't hurt you, Brad." "You know that." "He's a fat pig." "I wanna help you, I do." "Yeah?" "I was pumpin' him for information, stuff you guys can use." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." "Yeah, yeah, hurry up." "I found out that, uh, they brought the F.B.I. In." "Yeah?" "No shit?" "Yeah." "Yeah, and, uh, they got this, uh, grand jury convened." "About us?" "Sure." "Mm." "I'm telling you, who would tell you this kind of stuff..." "If it wasn't for me?" "I don't know." "Guess you're just a real good friend." "I don't feel too good." "I drank too much." "Better pull over." "Pull over by this tree." "We're goin' down to the river." "I'm glad to be able to" "Ahh." "I can't walk." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Whoa." "Feel that water, les?" "It's good." "Yeah." "Wake you right up." "Whoo!" "It's getting deeper." "Get your face wet." "Water on your face really wakes you up." "Hey, I don't need your help." "No, I can do it alone!" "Hey!" "Whoa!" "Ahh, Brad!" "Shh." "We get this thing fixed up, you'll be one cool dude," "A real rumbler." "I think I'm gonna get myself a job..." "Fixing Chevys or something." "How much you make?" "You can get like ten, twelve an hour." "It depends." "That ain't that much." "Hey, it's a steady job." "Nobody gets killed." "Somebody got killed?" "Brad, when you went out with dad and them, did somebody get killed?" "Forget it." "Brad." "I said forget it, Tommy." "He's no good." "What?" "They're no good." "What are you talking about?" "They're bad people." "Hi, boys!" "Hi, dad." "What you think of that?" "That's nice." "I just got it." "You see, the thing is- I'm gonna tell ya" "I got some big business over in Willerton," "And I was wondering if you guys could help me out with some of that..." "Wacky-Tobaccy." "What you say?" "I got money." "Yeah." "Hurry up." "Goin' out tonight." "Be by around midnight." "What's the damage?" "Twenty-five?" "Forty." "Yeah?" "Forty." "You a born thief." "You crazy." "You know, you crazy." "Lookin' good, Julie Whitewood!" "Tired old bag of shit." "You like that car?" "You wanna sit in that car?" "Is it all right?" "Go on, sit in it." "All right." "I'm not goin' out tonight." "What?" "I'm not gonna go out anymore." "You wanna live in a dump like this?" "Workin' ten hours a day in a cannery?" "I thought you were like me." "I thought you wanted something." "A car," "Nice girl sittin' in your lap, money in your pocket." "You said I could go out and then decide, right?" "You scared?" "I got somethin' else." "Somethin' or somebody?" "Yeah, Terry and I are gettin' outta here." "Where you gonna go?" "What are you gonna do when you get where you go?" "I got some ideas." "How you gonna pay?" "Apartment, food, clothes." "All that." "I'll find something." "You'll find shit!" "All you know is how to steal." "You're too fuckin' dumb to do that by yourself." "Oh, you think so?" "I know so." "You'll come back, crawlin' back to me, "daddy, daddy, give me somethin'."" "Well, we'll see." "We'll see." "Yeah, we'll see, yep." "What's the matter?" "Tell me about your uncle." "Your uncle." "Will he really take us?" "Sure." "What's it like there?" "What does it look like?" "It's called the Big Sky country," "'Cause the land goes on forever," "Lookin' out 20 miles one way, 50 in the other." "And they got jobs there too." "My cousin's husband, Rollie, he's got a job in Billings," "And he's about as dumb as a dog or something." "You know what else they got?" "My cousin" " She's just two years older than me, and she's got a baby." "It's got little tiny feet and little hands," "And it laughs already." "It probably talks now, but when i was there, it was just laughing." "It was so tiny." "I guess I love you, huh?" "So," "What do you think?" "I don't know." "It- it seems" "It's a little big." "Who cares if it's a fucked-up idea?" "If we get away with it, we score big, right?" "Look, it's not a fucked-up idea." "All we have to do is get in and out of there as fast as possible." "Okay?" "Okay." "Ahh!" "Ah, come on, there's a car!" "Oh, shit." "Somebody's coming." "Come on, let's go." "Tommy, come on, help tim get these ramps." "Get the crowbar." "Where the fuck is it?" "Aggie!" "Come on!" " Get a load of this, man." " Come on, the car!" "I gotta have her!" "Let's go!" "Come on!" "Isn't she beautiful?" "Let go, man!" "Get in!" "Close the door and shut it!" "Fuck it!" "Come on!" "Now I want you to climb down from there very slowly." "Fuck!" "Okay, bailed out:" "Essex, Milton, Smithson and Whitewood, t." "Go on." "You here to shut this down?" "Maybe next week." "What do you want, Whitewood?" "I put 500 on that gray one." "Ho, ho, that's a shrewd bet." "What's my son sayin'?" "Nothin'." "Yeah?" "But they haven't really started on him yet." "What about the F.B.I.?" "They really bring 'em in?" "Mm-hmm, last month." "Grand jury?" "Mm-hmm." "Mm-hmm." "What they got?" "Not much so far." "I'm sure they'll find something." "Maybe a body or two, hmm?" "Can I make a donation?" "A political something'?" "No, not now." "It's too hot." "Oh, your bird lost." "So he did." "Maybe next week, hmm?" "If they don't get anything more." "Yeah?" "Yeah, we'll see." "If they do... get more?" "Hi, is Mr. Whitewood here?" "M" " My name's Terry." "It's okay." "Thanks." "Um, I was planning to go see Brad," "And, uh, his mother can't go till the weekend 'cause she's working." "So I was wondering if-if you're planning to go." "Maybe."
