" Well, I told her about your special album, you know, and she thought it was kinda weird at first, but, she went for it." " You mean to say, this here is pussy hair?" " Oh, not just from any pussy, Marvin." " Oh, shit, pussy." " What the hell is going on in here?" " Get a towel or something, man!" " What is this shit?" " It's from Marvin's nekkid babes album." " What?" "Yeah, she just cut her hair for him." " What?" "What album?" "What the hell are you talking about?" "Nasty motherfucker!" "You asshole!" " Coffee, Marse." " Oh, nice." "Don't touch it."

" All right, where the fuck's Giuseppe?" " He's in the kitchen, he's waitin' for ya." " Bye, guys." " Ciao, Sabrina." " Hey, how, how are you?" " Good." " Listen, have ya, ya, you thought at all about, um..." "Did you have a chance to think about dinner?" " You know the conditions, Vinny." " Do you mind?" "Do you mind?" "Forget about the girl, go pay the cab, get the fucking bags, and let's do some fucking work." "Capiche?" " Fucking liar, son of a bitch, fuck you!" "Your brother is a fucking toilet, and he just needs someone to flush all that shit away." "What are you doing with a fucking broom?" "Let's go, get in." " Did you let him explain it?" " Explain?" "The only worthy explanation is that the motherfucker is really fucking insane." "He thinks pussy, he dreams pussy, he needs pussy." "Pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy." "He won't get away with it because I am done with his motherfucking ass, you hear that, Woody?" "You can tell your bastard brother, we are fucking done!" "Fuck, Woody, are you OK?" " I don't feel so good." " Woody, you get this each time we go to an audition." " I'm afraid you've become very disillusioned." " What are you trying to say?" " All right, let me make sure I understand the goal." "You want me to find this black motherfucker with white hair?" " No, no, the goal is to find him before Amanda comes back." "I'm on thin fucking ice here, Enzo." "You know how Sicilian women are." "She's convinced that some jealous husband beat me over the head, and she's given me 72 hours to sort it out," "or she's gonna divorce me." " Get the fuck out, divorce?" " Yeah, yeah." "But, no, no because I have you, you're the best." "Huh?" "Right?" "You're gonna find that motherfucker." " Giuseppe, it's raining cats and dogs out there, and look, I got arthritis."

" Bottom line, the weather's shit, I'll do it for 50." " 50?" "50?" "!" "50?" " And, a tanning lamp." " I'm here to take care of you two," "I wanna make sure you guys are taken care of." "Look, you can get yourself a plain facial tanner, or a luxury tanning bed, but if your friend is as fussy as you say," "I doubt he'll be happy." "Gentlemen, take a look at this." "Now if you truly want to indulge, might I suggest you choose a product at the cutting edge of technology." "And that's the exclusive way to Bronze Biological." "We cultivate the beet and the sugar cane extract." "That's right, the spray-tanning Bronze Biologique." " 50 thousand dol" " Are you out of your fucking mind?" "You could do this in your sleep." "I'm not asking you to go after the holy fucking grail," "I'm asking you to find one fucking nigger that's got white hair, huh?"

"Now you love me, or you love me?" " I love you." "Say it into the mic." " I love you." "She loves me, yes.." "Nola's skin smelled like green papaya, as the bangs of her hair fell over her temples, her cheeks were all pink and her lips were glowing like caramel apples." "The rum was so good" "I felt like I could kiss her all night long, if she hadn't interrupted us, I really believe" "I would have beaten the world-record for longest kiss ever." "Ahh." "You can make it, you can make it, the door's right there." " It looks like the bed is spinning." " Oh no, that's just the rum talking." " Come on." " Oh, mmm." "I hate these buckles." "They're always so hard." " I know." " Don't laugh at me." " I feel dizzy." " You should expect that by now." " Are you staying a bit?" " Nuh uh." " Uh huh." " Nuh uh." " Uh huh." " Come on, he never comes back before morning." " It is morning" " No." " It is morning right now." "It's morning, baby, besides..." "It'd be better like this." " You're gonna have to talk to him, Will." " Mmhm." " Good night." " Good night." " Son of a bitch!" "Asshole, liar." "Fucking dickhead." " Damn, woman, shit." " I told you not to come back here." " Honey, calm down." " Stop, Marvin, I don't wanna hear from your sorry ass." " Listen, Karen, I mean, it's nothing more than just a misunderstanding." " I warned ya, Marvin, I told you, if you ever did that shit again, we would be over." " That's just a personal album." "I mean there's no need to make a big deal out of it." " You're a fucking psycho." " Listen, honey, I never said I was perfect." "But, I'm gettin' help." "Yeah, I'm in therapy." " Therapy?" " Shh." "Oh, shit!" " You're a fucking perv!" " Listen, Karen," "I don't wanna lose you." "I really don't wanna lose you." "Who'll get me my pills?" "I mean, yours are the best in town." "Oooh, woo woo." " Oh, so that's what worries you, huh?" " No, no, no, no, don't, hey," "Karen, Karen." "Fuck, dude." " Asshole." "Now get the fuck out of here." " Shit, with the god damn pills?" " You make me sick, pussy hair collector!" " Fuck you, bitch!" " Out!" "Fuck you!" "Fuck you, bitch!" " Damn, this is a fucking doo." " Get your ass down and shut the fuck up." " Motherfucker!" " Hey, Marse." " Hey, kid." " You mind if I ask you a personal question?" " Yeah, it's all right, go ahead." " A little embarrassing, though." " Go ahead." " Well you're satisfied with your, um, pecker size?" " It's a little fucking personal, don't you think?" " Yeah, if, if, if if it's an issue for you." " No, it's not an issue for me," "I just don't feel comfortable standing here casually chatting about my privates with you." " I understand." "Cause you think it's short?" "I mean you can tell me, you can just say, "Vinnie, my dick's short."" " Vinnie, fuck off." "Go back to work, we got things to do, all right." " You don't have to be embarrassed," "I mean there's nothing to be ashamed of." " Vinny, I'm not embarrassed, all right." "My dick is neither too short, or too long." "It's about a standard size, all right?" "Go back to work." " Um, you were never curious enough to measure it?" " What are you sick in the head?" "Go back to work, now." " Pronto." "Yeah, Marcello, no, I'm just gonna take a piss." "Yeah, let me tell you something, Marcello, you found this great machine, I'm telling you, amazing, I've been on there five minutes," "I can feel the blood rushing to my balls as we speak." "Yeah, yeah, look, get that pizza delivery uniform over here, give me some fliers, let's get this show on the road, all right?" "Ciao." "What the fuck are you doing, what?" "You painting the bedroom?" "Get your ass in there, come on, you blonde bimbo." "Move it, move it." " Mm, got, got the delivery?" " He's in heaven." " Good, so he's happy." "What about your tongue?" " What about it?" " Well, is, is it rather long, rather short?" " All right, that's it, Vinny." "What's this about?" "What's this about, right now?" " Can I see it?" " See what?" " Your tongue." " I'm not sticking my tongue out." " Show me your tongue." " Why should I show you my tongue?" "I'm not sticking my tongue out." " Once, one time." " This is now getting embarrassing." "I'm not sticking my tongue out, much less my, my, my penis." "Jesus Christ, what the hell is wrong with you, are you sick in the head?" " Come on, it's me Vinny, just once." " I'm not doin' it." "One time, that's it." "And then you stop this line of questions." " Swear." "Holy shit, you, you got a long tongue." " Fine" " It's a good tongue." " OK, that's it, this is getting old, Vinny." "I want to know what this is about right now." "Right now." " It's sensitive, um..." "OK." "Have ya ever been able to touch your penis wi, with the tip of your tongue?" " What the fuck?" "Are you out of your fucking mind?" "Do I look psycho enough to you to suck my own, ahhh?" "Do I look like a contortionist to you?" "What are you on?" "It's about Sabrina." " If you ever reach your penis with the tip of your tongue," "Vinny, I'll go to dinner with you." " Oh, for" " And if there's even slightest chance that I can make this happen, even the remotest possibility, then I gotta do it, I mean she is hot, man, and she drives me nuts, and I've been doin' yoga," "and I've been drinking only mineral water and I looked at the blogs online and I haven't eaten gluten in over a week, but I'm still like half an inch away." "Marse?" "Marse?" " Shit." " Can't believe this." " Oh, shit." " Marvin, this album on its own is not necessarily a sign of an obsessive pathology." " You don't understand, Doc, that's all I think about." "Just women, I'm tellin' ya, Doc," "I'm an obsessive." "As soon as I see one," "I just can't help but think about stuff." " OK, well." "Now, you tell me a little bit about your mother." " What about her?" " Well, do you love your mother?" " Of course I love my moms, she's a pious woman who gave us lots of love, me and my three brothers." " When you were young did you, did you view your mother in a particular way?" " What you mean, Doc?" " I don't know, Marvin, you tell me." " Hey, what you tryin' to say here, Doc?" "You leave her out of this, you hear me?" " You could be the victim of an unresolved Oedipal complex." " Aw man," "I just can't believe it's over with Karen, you know?" " How do you think she feels?" "She found your book." " Oh, damn it." " Marvin, some women are very sensitive and" " Sensitive." " and very very fragile." " They fragile." " Fragile and sensitive." " I'm gonna kill that bitch." " Hands on your heads, don't move." " Don't move or I will fucking shoot you." " Jonathan Green?" " Hey, darling, I'm home." " Hands up, put your fucking gun down, now!" "Now, fucking hurry, get your ass in there!" "Move your ass, now!" "Now, now, now!" "You give me one more look like that and I'll splatter your brains all over this fucking room." " You follow me and everything's gonna be all right." " What are you doing?" " If everyone stays put, we won't harm her." " Nola?" " Will, where the fuck were you?" " Hey, what the hell are you doing?" " Oh my God, get in the fucking car." " What's going on?" " Let's go." " Who's that?" "Who 'dis?" " It's Andreopoulus' wife." " Wait, who, that crazy Greek dude?" "Hell, no!" " Yes, go!" " Shit, shit, shit, shit, come on." " Go, go, go, get in the car, go." " Get in the fucking car." " Fuck, Will, what's wrong with you?" " What's wrong with me?" " Yes." " You don't even know who you dealin' with, huh?" "You don't read the papers." "You don't know that this psycho raises piranhas." "Piranhas." " No, not the fish, I'm begging you, sir." "No, no, let go of me." " What was I supposed to do, I mean," "Woody was stuck in bed with a stomach ache and we needed a driver." " What, snap out of it, Nola, come on now, you have any idea how ferocious these fish are?" "They can strip a body in minutes." "Minutes, come on, their teeth are razor sharp and once a little bit of blood come out one little drop of blood come out, they go crazy, frenzied, they don't stop, they don't stop," "and, nom nom nom nom, and then at the end of it, they start eating each other." "Each other!" "And I ain't talkin' bout in a good way either." "You wanna be the next dish on their menu?" "You want this to end in a blood bath, huh?" " No." " I was psyched about my piranha story, because the girls were so freaked out, they didn't say a word when I told 'em, bring back his wife immediately." " Oh, darling, everything's gonna be fine, now." "The following days, stormy winds blew across New Orleans." "Temperatures increased, and Denzel sank into a sharp paranoia." " Hey, have you seen Nola?" "Have you seen Nola?" " No." " No, I haven't seen her." " What about Woody, where's Woody at?" " He's in his room, he's sick." " Woody, Woody wake up." "Nola's gone, wake up, damn it." " What?" " My sister's missing." " Wha, wha, what?" " Nola didn't come home last night, did she say anything?" " What about Will?" " What about Will?" "His place is closed and he isn't home." " There you go." "They're puh, puh, probably together." " They've got nothin' to do together." "What the fuck are you gettin' at, you high?" " Their motives remain unknown but they're described as two young women dressed in bunny costumes." " More details." " Oh my God, Jonathan Green is holding auditions" " I told you that was" " I gotta call Woody" " Call Woody." " I gotta call Woody." "God, he's gonna be so happy, I told you it was him." " H-Hello." " Hey, Woody-O, what's up, you feeling better?" " Nola, your brother just left my buh, buh, bedroom." " Woody, let me talk." "Jonathan Green is in town." " Juh, juh, Jonathan Green?" " Yes." " Are you sure?" " Oh believe me, that was him, that was him." "And the paper says he's holding auditions today at Algiers Point, so get ready." " Duh, duh, damn." " Get in." " This is magnificent, hands down, you're great, Mr. Johnson." " I told my husband to leave you alone, so if you're not totally unconscious," "I think you should keep your silence about Jonathan and myself." "Do you understand, am I clear?" " Very clear, Mrs. Andreopoulus." " Good, bye." " You are in so much trouble right now." " What are you doing here?" " Come here, we need to talk." " Easy, you're hurting me, Denzel." " Chill out, Denzel, you're gonna break her arm." " You stay the hell out of this, that's what you do." " What's wrong with you?" " I swear to you I'm gonna rid you of this Broadway bullshit." "And from now on, you're gonna stop seeing Karen." " I can't take it anymore, Denzel." "Stop telling me what to do, I'm a big girl, you know." " You are my kid sister and I'm gonna protect you whether you like it or not." "I'll be damned if you gonna end up in some strip club." " Fuck you!" " You wanna bunch of strange men slapping' you on your ass callin' you a fuckin' snow bunny?" " Calm down, Denzel, we didn't do anything wrong." " Yeah, like I'm gonna believe you." "Get back, and you know better." " Duh, duh, Denzel!" " Yeah, duh, duh, duh, Denzel, my ass." "Stay away from her." "You'll have plenty of time to think this all the way through, because you're not gonna leave the room until I say so." "What the fuck are you doing here you cr" " Stop, Denzel, stop." "Oh, my God, stop, stop!" "Denzel!" "Stop, you're gonna kill him." "Stop, stop Denzel, please." " I don't know about the stormy weather, but you could show him anything from tomatoes to mozzarella or pepperoni, or even the fucking Mario Brothers, and he'd go nuts, fucking insane." "So I wasn't in a real hurry to explain what was going on between me and his sister." "That could wait." "Nola!" "Nola!" "Nola, Nola, open this door." "Nola, Nola, Nola, open up." "I don't know, whenever I look at you, Nola," "I still see that 12-year old little girl comin' home from school," "I can still hear you laugh." " I'm not 12, anymore, Denzel." " I made a promise to Mom that I was gonna protect you." "I'm not gonna give up now." " Keep her out of this, you didn't visit her grave for years." " Muh, Marvin, I gotta go." " Wha, why would you wanna go?" "To listen to that gibberish?" " Buh, but you promised." " Go ahead, go on, go." " Kahn, sweep the salon." " Hathi, sweep the salon." " Can't you see I'm busy." " Sweep the salon, I said." " Marvin, why am I always the one gettin' played?" "Kahn always tellin' me to do what you told him to do." " Hathi, I tell you what Marvin tells me to do because you never know what to do until I tell you what to do, so do it." " I don't want to do what Marvin told you to do anymore." " Marvin never told you to make me do what you supposed to do." "He told you to do it." "And besides, sweeping the salon, that's Woody's job." "Woody's the one who's supposed to sweep" " Forget Woody, nevermind what Marvin told me to do or not to do, I'm telling you to do it." " I'm sick of doing everything" " Shut up!" "You think I need this right now?" "Don't I have enough trouble with Karen as it is?" "I don't wanna hear you anymore." " Tell it to Kahn." " You know what, me, too." "I'm sick of this shit-ass life in this salon that smells like dead rats." " Now, dead rats, huh?" "That's a real stench." "Do you know how hard it was for me to get this place going?" "The sacrifices I made?" "Now, we may not have the best customers." "But it's a respectable business, and it makes us a living." "Anything else you want to add?" " Of course not, Marvin." " So sweep the fucking salon." " You ass." "Psst." " Nola, Nola, what's wrong, baby, what's wrong?" " Denzel is furious, he locked me inside my room." " Locked you inside, what?" " Are you listening to what I'm saying?" " Just dry your tears, baby, tell me." " He beat the shit out of a pizza delivery guy, you gotta talk to him, Will." " Of course I'm gonna talk to him, baby." " Don't touch me, don't kiss me." "Fuck you all!" " Sit down." "Look, Nola, you need to stop messin' around, you hear me?" "I know the Greek kidnappin' wasn't a big deal to you, but it's still on my mind, so now ain't the time to be harassing me about Denzel." " Hey Will!" "Will!" "I've already been through plenty of weird moments in my life." "So I knew this one would come up eventually." " I don't know why you haven't told him yet, life would be a lot simpler if you do it." " Yeah, simpler for you, not for me, I mean," "I don't know if you know this, but your brother gets just a bit nervous when talkin' about you." " Is anybody there?" "Will!" "Hey Will!" "Will!" "Hey, you in there?" "Hey Will!" "Is anybody there?" "Will?" " What do you think?" " No, no, no, no, no, no." "You go put this dress on right now." " Watch out, if you take one more step I'll scream." " Nola, the show's over, baby, all right?" "You gotta put this dress on all right." " Will, open up!" " Are you gonna talk to him?" " Get dressed!" " No." " All right I had it, you gonna put this dress on right now." " Let go of me, animal, you're no better than my brother." " Put your clothes on!" " No!" " What the hell are you doing up in-- open!" " No, no!" " Nola?" " I'm gonna have five seconds to make up a story and save my ass." "Five, four, three, two," " Will, what the fuck--?" " Now don't you go up asking me things, Denzel." "Your sister walked into my shop just ten minutes ago shocked cause of the pizza delivery boy you beat up," "I mean, damn, Denzel, when you gonna grow up, huh?" "She don't even know when you gonna grow up." "Now, you need to take her home right now before she catches cold, you hear me?" "Now, now, now, watch her head, watch her head, come on." "Easy, easy, all right." " As incredible as it may seem, that was it." "Denzel left with his sister." "I knew she was gonna drive me crazy, but what else was I gonna do?" "Thunderstorms was announced that afternoon and record-high temperatures for the next night, I mean," "I had no choice, you know?" " I think we should bring in some gluten-free dough, because some people want to eat here" " Get the fuck outta here with that gluten-free shit again." "Fuckin' asshole." "Napoli Pizza." " Gesuippe, it's Enzo." " Enzo, hey, did you find him?" " Found him?" "Listen, the cocksucker beat the shit out of me ten minutes ago." " Oh, I love you, Enzo." " The guy's a monster, he had some woman on his arms unconscious." "God only knows what kind of horrible shit he did to her." "OK, OK, calm down." "Are you sure it was him?" " What the fuck do you mean am I sure?" "How many black guys with white Afros do you know go around beating the shit out of anything that moves?" " OK, calm down, Enzo." " Don't fucking tell me to calm down." "That cocksucker, he beat me over my head with a trash can lid." " God, I love you right now, I could mouth kiss you." "All right, listen to me, listen to me, what do we do now," "Enzo, do you know where he lives?" " Yeah, yeah, I'm right next door." "Look Gesuippe, you gotta come get me," "I think I need a doctor, we'll get the motherfucker tomorrow." " Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, OK." "I'll be right over, listen, don't worry all right?" "When we're done with him, we're gonna fuck him so hard in his ass he's gonna look like a real baboon." "Boom!" "Oh, fuck." "Oh shit, my spine." "Grab" " Grab my hand." "I can't stand up, asshole!" " Come on, come on, Edelweiss..." " What's that, Poppy?" " Edelweiss, that's his code name." " What's up with these stupid flower names, anyway?" " Chill out, Poppy, you respect the rules." "I got him from the pound, the owner says he's a killer." " What, a hound?" "Are you kidding me?" " He's not just any hound, he's a killer." "Bark, Edelweiss, bark." "See, sit, Edelweiss, sit." "Let me see your paw, let me see your paw." " What the fuck, is he pissing in the car?" " Stop pissing, Edelweiss." " The dog is pissing in the car, the dog is pissing in the car." " What do you care, the car's a piece of shit, anyways." "If you slam the door, the roof opens." " That's why I bought it, you fucking moron." " Well, I can't tell him to stop pissing in the car." " Let me explain something to you, Poppy." "If you let the dog piss in the car like this, what do you think will happen?" "He's gonna think that he can piss in any car." "So" " So if I buy a new car, he's gonna think," "I got a fancy new toilet." "Stop this motherfucker from pissing in the car." " And tell him to stop giving me the stink eye." " What are you talking about?" "He's not giving you the stink eye." " I don't like the way he's looking at me." "Now you's tell him to stop looking at me like that, or I'm gonna put a bullet in his head." " You can't shoot a dog, that's just the way he looks, all right?" "He can't do nothin' about that." " Tell him to stop giving me the stink eye." " Whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't shoot the dog, you can't shoot him, Lilac, say something, he's gonna make a mess." " I don't give a shit, it's goin' to the junkyard anyway." " I'm gonna open you up, you piece of shit dog." " Oh, I got an idea, I got an idea, I got an idea," "OK, OK?" "See?" "Problem solved." " There we go." "Finally!" " We're here." " OK, good, everybody knows what they're supposed to do, right?" " Trust me, that motherfucker's gonna feel the pain." "Every last fucking ounce of it." " All right, listen to me, remember, keep your cool," "I want that cocksucker alive, he's gotta be able to explain everything to Amanda." " Trust me, you're gonna have all the time you need to get all the information you need." " Good." "But when you finish, I'm gonna take the motherfucker," "I'm gonna throw him in the basement, I'm gonna beat him with a welding machine for seven days and seven nights." "And when I finish, I'm gonna take him and throw him in the fuckin' sewer, and let him fuckin' rot, until the rats come in his god damn intestines." " Seven days and seven nights?" "We're not gonna get much sleep." "Oh, what the hell is this?" " What, what, what's happening now?" "Tell me, what." " I don't know, three guys in KKK outfits just drove in." " What the fuck are you talking about?" " They're going in the salon." " The salon?" "What the fuck are you talk--?" "What the fuck is happening over there?" " What the fuck I know, you're paying me to get him, not to look through walls." "Ah, there you are, cocksucker." " Hey, Will!" " Look at that." " What?" "What's happening?" "That's the guy?" " The fuck you lookin' at, nigger?" " What the, oh!" " Fuck." " What's happening?" "Let me know." " The, the, the, the guys in the KKK outfit, they're beating the shit out of the-- he's bleeding, he's on the floor." " What?" "Are you kidding me?" " What do you want me to do?" "What the fuck you want me to do?" " You get in there, and you fucking save his ass, so you can bring him back here so I can kick his ass." " Hey, hey, there they are, right there." " Come on." " Ah, shit, fuck." " What are they doin'?" " Let's get him, let's go." "Let's go." "OK, we're on the bridge, do you see anything?" "There's nobody here, no." " Oh shit, shit." " Enzo, listen to me, listen to me." "That cocksucker, that god damned cocksucker smashed my neck and Amanda's coming home tomorrow," "I need him alive!" " Giuseppe, , I understand you need him alive." " The van!" " What the f--?" "What?" "!" "Enzo, what happened?" " God damnit, motherfucker, cocksucker." " Hello?" "Fuck!" " Fuck." " Shit." " Hello?" " Hello?" "Nola, is that you?" "What happened?" "Calm down, baby, where are you?" " In the apartment..." " Stay where you are, alright?" "Don't move, I'll be right there." "Are you all right, what happened?" " I just got a little scared, that's all." " Who did this to you?" "Nola, who did this to you?" " Marvin." " What?" "Marvin?" " He didn't recognize me Denzel, I swear," "He had a weird haircut, it was crazy." " Marvin did this to you?" "Get in." " Don't, Denz, I think he was stoned." "Don't!" " Lock the door." " Oh, Denzel." "You wanna use the phone?" " I swear on my mother's grave, touch her again and I'll fuckin' kill you." "Oh shit, you motherfuckers." "You mother-- What the fuck is all this?" " All right, listen, we can explain that, all right." "The KKK costumes, it was Marvin's idea." " It was all Marvin's plan, man, all right." "He went crazy, man, he even shot me in my foot." " Wait, what are you talkin' about?" " The whole KKK thing, man, it was just to scare Will you know?" " Yeah." " And try to get some of his customers, man." "You, you weren't supposed to be involved with that at all, man, that wasn't supposed to be you there." " Exactly, come on, you know Marvin's been goin' crazy lately, you know what I'm sayin'?" " Yeah, yeah, yeah." " You know, and when he broke up with Karen, you know" " Which one of you knocked me out?" " Kahn." " Hathi." " Kahn." " Hathi!" " Kahn." " Hathi." " Kahn, Kahn, Kahn!" " Hathi!" " I'm telling you right now, that motherfucker is crazy, he the one that knocked you out, man." "I'm telling you, whoa whoa whoa." " One more time, one more time." "Which one of you knocked me out?" " I'm telling you, man, it was him." " I did, I did, OK?" "I did." "I didn't really have a choice, man, come on," "I, I, I, I, I know you understand, right?" "You understand what I'm sayin', it's Marvin." " Do we have to do it like this, man?" "Come on, we could" " All right, Klu Klux Kahn, tell me your story." " All right, OK, tonight..." "Will gave his sermon about Rosa Parks." " What led a 42-year-old black seamstress to rise," " to rise, to rise against the establishment?" "" " Dignity!" "Yeah, you right, my sister, dignity, dignity." "The deep consciousness of her human dignity." "Yeah, you right, dignity." "Best to be, Sister Rosa Parks." " And everything was set, we waited for the salon to empty, and he was by himself, and we came in dressed in our costumes." "It wasn't about hurting him." "It was about scaring him just a little bit." "Marvin, he went nuts." "A few minutes earlier, he popped some pills, and I told him not to." "But he didn't care." "Orchid, don't, those pills are loaded." "Yolanda took some and had the worst trip." " Shut the fuck up." "Hermie, I know what I'm doing." "Get yourself ready." "Where the fuck is he?" " That shit totally ruined his brain, man, I don't know, you know, he went half nuts." "He told us he would kill us if we don't hold Will down." "What would you have done?" "It's only later when we took all his clothes off and put a bag on his head, that you showed up." "Listen, I can assure you, that was not part of the plan." "OK, I only hit you and knocked you out because I was afraid that Marvin was gonna shoot you." "Hey man, this thing is really starting to get hot." " So what did you do with Will?" " We, we brought him to, to Saint Thomas Bayou." " Take off your jocks, nigger." "Come on, get naked, I want to see you naked as a worm." " Orchid, what are you doing?" " Shut up!" "Come on, motherfucker, get naked." "Take off those fucking jocks, nigger." "Get naked, I wanna see you naked, now come on." "You gonna run, you gonna run, and pray that your heart stops before the beast of the bayou here eats you alive." "Turn." "And run." " All right, so that's where shit just got out of hand." "Like this is out of hand, OK?" "Edelweiss looked at him funny, he shot it and missed, and then hit Hathi in the foot." " Still don't like the way that dog's lookin' at me, man, you heard me?" " What are you talking about?" "He's not lookin' at you." " That dog keeps lookin' at me like that," "I'm gonna shoot that dog, you heard?" " You better not shoot him, you better not shoot him, you understand me?" "You better not shoot him!" " Oh yeah?" " Ooh!" " Edelweiss?" " Yes, that's the code name for the fucking dog." "Don't you know that I hate dogs?" "Did you ever know that about me?" "I fuckin' hate dogs, man, they ain't good for shit, but to bark, piss, and shit everywhere." " How did it end?" " I'm on fuckin' frying right now, man, please!" " You better speak before I smoke your ass here all night." "Talk!" " OK, OK." " He kept shooting' the dog, OK, and I told him, man, stop shootin' the dog or whatever, but one of 'em got away, hit Will, Will hit the ground, man, I'm so sorry." "I'm so sorry." "Things just happened too fast, man." "Come on, get me out of here, man," "I am burning up." "Come on, man, turn this shit off, all right?" "You know everything right now." "You know everything, OK?" "There's nothing more to say." "We came back to the shop," "Marvin, went to move the car, we were taking off our makeup and I was tendin' to his fucking foot over there and then you walked in." "OK?" "I'm burning, man!" " Hello, hello!" "Hello, is anybody there?" "Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello." "Oh hey, hi." " Fuck!" " Hey, hey." " What the hell are you doing here?" " Oh I, uh, um, uh, looking for the guys with the colored undies." " For what?" " I, uh, I need the pills." " Forget it, I'm out." " You don't understand, I need those fucking pills!" "Those fucking pills!" " Get of me!" " Karen?" "Oh my God!" "Come on." " My pills!" "Oh my God, who is that girl?" " She's a friend of Kahn and Hathi." "She took the fucking pills." " What's going on?" " There's ketamine in the fucking pills." " Calm down, Karen, calm down." " No, no, those damn motherfuckers act directly on the central nervous system." " She dead?" " I don't fucking know." " What do we do, Karen?" " I don't know." "Fuck, grab her, come on." "Bitch is heavy." " Oh help, help!" "You gonna toast me right now?" "Oh my goodness, turn this shit off!" "Come on man, oh God, oh shit!" " My God, what?" "What is going on here?" " I'm burnin'!" " These fuckers assaulted Will." " What?" "Where is he?" "Fuck, Denzel, where is he?" " Saint Thomas Bayou." " Saint Thomas Bayou." " Nola, wait!" " Nola, wait." " Hey no, hey, Karen," "Karen!" "Karen, turn it off, come here, come here!" "Turn it off, Karen, get over here." "Turn it off, now." "¶ High life" "¶ Wherever I look" "¶ It's only green lights" "¶ I'm flyin' above the birds" "¶ High in the trees" "¶ Singin' with me" "¶ I'm feelin' so free today" "¶ I kissed my bride ¶" " My name's Will, and as far as I can remember," "I always dreamt of having an Afro, it's the symbol of my individuality." "The symbol of all the struggles against the oppressor." " Will!" " Nola?" " Will, Will." " Nola, Nola?" " Baby, it's me" " Nola, Nola?" " Oh my God, what have they done to you, don't move." "Oh my God." " Baby." " Oh, they shaved your Afro." " It's all right, baby, it's all right, you here." " It was so scary." " It's just fine, it looks worse than it is, all right?" " I love you." " I love you, too." "A few months later, we were at the church celebrating' our wedding." "Denzel had finally opened his eyes and accepted the situation." "He had done a lot of work on himself." "He even forgave Marvin." " Nola was more beautiful than ever." "Now our honeymoon to Broadway was scheduled for next fall." "Woody got a call back from Jonathan Green." "Karen stopped cuttin' pills with ketamine," "Marvin was tryin' to regain Karen's heart, pizza boys started delivering in the neighborhood again, and Algiers Point had gone back to its legendary quietness." "Me, I'm just waitin' for my bride." "And for my hair to grow back." " You may all be seated." "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen." " Amen."

" Symbolic of your love for your son, Jesus Christ." "And of our Father who lives and reigns with you, and of the Holy Ghost, one God forever." " I'm sorry, Father, let her go." " What are you doing, Denzel?" " Look, trust me Nola, OK?" "I know what's good for ya." " No, what are you doing, Denzel!" " Sorry, Will, I'm not in the mood."
