"Hey!" "Hey!" "Yeah, you!" "Get up!" "What, are you retarded?" "Get off the fucking car!" "Hey, dickless, get off the fucking car!" "Hey, fuck-suck get your slippery fuckin' ass off the car!" "Get off the fucking car with your fucking ass!" "Shut that cunt's mouth or I'll fuck-start her head!" "Do something!" "Go!" "You're gonna wish you never fuckin' got up this morning." "My boyfriend's gonna fuck you up!" "And while he's fucking up your gay uncle," "I'm gonna fuckin' cut off your cock and mail it to your mother." "Gaylord fucking bitch!" "You like that a lot?" "You fucking faggot." "You like to ass fuck?" "You like to fuck baby heads?" "Go ahead." "You like to fuck baby heads?" "You like to fuck boys?" "He's gonna fuck you in the ass!" "He's not even gay!" "But he'll do it just to..." "She's got a big mouth, but she's not kiddin'." "I'm gonna whip you silly and I'm gonna fuck you stupid." "You wanna do the man dance?" "First dance is yours." "Why would you pick a fight with them?" " Look at my fucking face!" " You look more beautiful than ever." "For the record, I'll call myself Mr. Parker." "My associate will be Mr. Longbaugh." "There is a natural order." "The way things are meant to be." "An order that says that the good guys always win, that you die when it's your time or you have it coming." "That the ending is always happy." "If only for someone else." "It became clear to us that we had nothing to offer the world, our options narrowing down to petty crime or minimum wage." "So we stepped off the path, and went looking for the fortune that we knew was looking for us." "Once off the path, you do what you can to eat." "You don't blow your ghost of a chance with nickel and dime." "No possessions." "No comforts." "Need is the ultimate monkey." "A pint of your blood could fetch you fifty bucks." "A shot of come, three grand." "If you keep your life simple, you can self-sustain." "What qualifies you as a donor?" "I am a fairly intelligent, good-looking man." "Physically fit." "Stable." "Thank you." "Heterosexual?" "Can I ask you somethin'?" "Are you a faggot?" "I asked you the same question, only I was clearer about the answer I was looking for." "I just asked, heterosexual?" "I've never killed a man." "I said I've never killed a man." " I didn't ask that." " I think of that as a qualification." "Why is that a qualification for semen donations?" "It's a big fucking..." "a very important qualification." " No one's ever said that before." " Have you ever asked?" "You should." "If I say that Los Angeles has become... a Mecca for homosexual migration," "I am in the right." "But I am making it sound like faggots are nomadic miscreants... who have some implied need to move around." "I am also likening them to Muslims." "Whereas saying L.A. is full of faggots is just being honest." "Nobody brings up sex with dead people!" "You brought it up!" " To say I never did it." " I didn't ask that." "You should." " Faggot." "Say it!" " I'm not gonna say that." "If I grab a woman's ass and she punches me, she's fighting for her rights, but if a faggot grabs my ass and I punch him, I'm a homophobe." " Let's just move on." " Are you a faggot?" "Mental illness in the family?" "It's not what you say." "It's all in how you say it." "Can you hold on just a sec?" "Where were we?" "Let's just pretend you don't smoke two packs a day." "And you get your life together to get up before noon." "Steff, please!" "You are not prepared to be a mother." "There's this one girl who comes in here, due any day, gettin' paid a million in cash." "She comes in for treatments three times before the embryo takes." "The couple is perfectly healthy." "But the wife couldn't be bothered to carry her own child." "They tell the girl what to eat, bodyguards watching her every minute." "Of course it sounds fishy." "She's gotta live with these people." "Like a prisoner." "It's just not worth it." "If that's how you feel, then go with God!" "Don't ask if you're not gonna listen!" "Just call the doctor." "Maybe he can help you." "No, he's in the book." "His name's Painter." "Allen Painter." "And here was the fact:" "Some deep pockets, a pregnant woman, some bodyguards, and a doctor's name." "The longest distance between two points is a kidnapper and his money." "But we were through jerkin' off." "Feel that, hon?" "Fantastic." "Yes." "It's fabulous, Hale." "She doesn't hate you, Robin." "She most certainly does, Mr. Chidduck." "You're worried about the baby." " No." "No, that's..." " Come on." "A woman needs security like a man needs approval." "She wants her past, present and future to all be secure." "Right now." "And in a few days, this baby will be a part of your past." "And for you to leave and not know it's secure." "Now, I would never ask you to trust me." "It's the cry of a guilty soul." "But trust life." "Always trust life." "If you're careful enough to listen, life does take care." "You're gonna be a good father, Mr. Chidduck." "And she's gonna be a good mother." "As soon as she lays eyes on him... nature will take over." "I know it will." "I hope to God you're right, Robin." "Because if this baby doesn't change..." "Him?" "Oh!" "You didn't wanna know, I'm sorry." "I..." " You did say "him"?" " Him." "I have to go to the appointment now with Dr. Painter." "I'm going to have a son." "I'm going to have a son." " So I didn't spoil it then?" " No, you didn't spoil it." "Every goddamn time." " Four to one." " Go ahead, one." "Could you just drive by the front of the building?" " How's your back feeling?" " It's better." " Yes." " Down here?" "Bet you can't wait for this little guy to get out." "Actually, I don't mind if it stays in there forever." "Unless there are any complications, I'll see you on the 15th." "This video will show you some things about your delivery." "Thanks." "We want this to go down nice and quiet." "Put the guns down." "We got you dead to it." " What?" " The people, man." "Can't you people see there are guns here?" "Get the fuck out!" "Get out!" "Come on." "This is no good." "I'm gonna count to three, and then I'm gonna..." "You're supposed to be protecting her!" "What did I tell you?" "Walk away." "Just walk away." "They don't care about dying." "Just losing." "You're not gonna make it!" "Somebody will've called the cops." "Just walk away." "Move." " Move, yes!" " All right." "Moving." " I got her." " Okay." "Moving." "Move!" " Moving." " No." " Moving." " Move." " Get her." " Move." "It's okay." "Move!" "They made a pass." "They're comin' out to you." "Do not..." "Take the girl!" "Go upstairs to the top floor and wait for me for as long as it takes." " Do you understand me?" " Yes!" "Wait for me." "Do you care about this baby?" "Then you walk." "Longbaugh!" "Move!" "Are you okay?" "Miss?" "The baby's kicking." "The guns and noise." "The baby's kicking like crazy." "Please!" "Relax!" "Would you be easy, please?" "You can open your eyes." " I don't wanna look at your faces." " It doesn't matter." "Alright." "Follow me downtown." "Give him room." "What's your name?" "Robin." "And the father?" "You guys had it all figured out..." "The sooner you tell us who the money is..." "The sooner I end up dead." "I know that as long as I'm carrying this baby... and you two don't have the money, I'm alive." "It's not how long you're gonna live." "But how slow you're gonna die." "What do you call your baby?" "It's not mine." "Like that matters." "You have to have a name." "What do you think when you think about deaf people... people who are born deaf, who've never heard a spoken word, what do you think they call the sun or their mother, or their own reflection in the mirror?" "That's what I call it." "There's no name." "I'm not gonna name it." "For what?" "Help." "Shit." "Hello?" "Dr. Painter, I have an emergency call from Robin." "It's hard for me to say that to you." "You always said you could tell me anything." "It's not illegal, is it?" "No, daddy." "That was a stupid thing to ask." "He's a doctor." "He'll do what we say." "You have too much faith in people." "How can you kidnap somebody without it?" "Let's fake it." "Would you get me Mr. Chidduck?" "Hi, Robin." "Look at me." "How do you feel?" "I'm dizzy." "I'm not gonna make it." "Am I gonna have it?" "Have you had any water?" "No." "You'll do what I say." "You do what I say!" "If anything happens to me..." " lf this all goes terribly wrong..." " It already has gone terribly wrong." "I'm sorry." "Just get me a fucking figure." "What kind of a kidnapping is this?" "Aren't we in the... demands phase at this point?" "  You can't pay him." " Certainly I can..." "This is not about the money you're losin', the girl or the child." "If they get caught crossing the border, that money's comin' right back to you." "You will have to account for it." "Understand what I'm sayin'?" "You can not pay." "Joe." "Can't you just go over and... whatever you, you know... rub them out?" "No, no, no." "The only thing they have... to hang on to is their lives." "We don't have to negotiate." "They do." "They have to give Robin up to live." "You keep your money, you get the girl... and nobody is lookin' at your books." "I..." "I can't." "No!" "No police." "Just... you know," "Hell." "Figure it out!" "She's dehydrated." "In her condition, her pain can feel very much like labor." "But she won't lose the baby." "No, but she should have it in 6 days." " Don't lie to me." " I'm not gonna lie to you." "I'm concerned for my patient." "The baby is over 8 pounds and should come out by the 15th." "The bush, this one." "Can she have it sooner?" "You mean induce?" "Here?" " Absolutely not." " The first baby was born in a cave." "If you had to." "Yeah." "As for the chances of both of them surviving..." "Who are the parents?" "You guys don't..." " Who are the parents?" " It's Francesca and Hale Chidduck." "Oil and steel Chidducks." "Vegas, union buster Chidducks." " You never..." " Not our crowd." "He's a front man for clean developers that cut in on rough territory." "And for not-so-clean developers laundering money outta Mexico." "He makes his living out of collecting other people's enemies." "Shoot you kinda enemies." "You didn't even know who you were grabbing?" "How much money this guy have?" " No idea." " Will he deal?" "Anything to keep it quiet." "Hello?" "Abner." "Joe?" "Yeah." "Busy?" "No." "Not at all." " You drunk?" " A little." "What can I do for you?" "There's somebody I need you to stay with." "She needs medical supervision." "She's not well." " Let me stay with her." " Don't get smart with me." "Superman never gets the girl." "This is the ransom note." "You're gonna be the bagman." "You're gonna meet me in Mexico with the money." "She'll be with my partner." "I won't know where until Chidduck calls." "You'll come equipped to induce labor." "Not, she dies." "You're followed, she dies." "If I don't answer the phone, she dies." "It's on your head now." "The more careful you are, the less I have to worry." "That baby's coming out, understand?" "Alright." "You got a number for this thing?" "Don't say, 'Who, me?" "He, she.' You got a number?" "We'll call you when we're ready." "Are you gonna eat that other half of your sandwich?" "I was gonna." " Are you hungry?" " Yes." "I'm pregnant." "I like bacon." "It's from a gas station." "It's still good." "Thanks." "The shooting began before 5 o'clock, after the suspect tried to abduct an unidentified woman." "Thanks, Jack." "Which one of you is Jeffers?" " Who are you?" " Of course." "I'm Joe Sarno." "Mr. Chidduck sent me." " When..." " I'm workin' on your release." "The police are a bit upset that... no one'll tell 'em what's goin' on." "Are you a lawyer?" "Do I look like a fuckin' lawyer?" "I handle Mr. Chidduck's laundry." "Things like you." "I make unpleasant decisions for him, of which he never will know." "And he sleeps very well." "You're a bagman." "Let's just say I..." "I deal in the fine art of adjudication." "Obecks, is it?" "What did you tell the cops?" ""Why two bodyguards and no body to guard?"" ""We got the client out." "Client, confidential."" " "Who took the client out?" - "Confidential."" " "The client was a witness?" - "Removed before the shooting."" " "You have all the answers." - "I have the truth."" "Was there ever a time when one of the deceased... could have been in touch with..." " Wait, you don't think..." " I don't think." "Nor do I assume, speculate or hypothesize." "I merely observe." "And... what I observe... is one frantic fuck-up on what should have been a routine protect." "Two fuckin' yahoos... wipe out half your staff... in broad daylight, empty-handed." "Empty... handed." "How can this happen?" " She was running." " Unlikely." "She was takin' that kid." "I had her in the box." "A woman with a baby in her belly does not walk into a hail of pistol fire." "She's been acting hinky." "The first time she's out of our sight she goes for the door." "She was..." " You picked her to be the host." " So this has to be our fault, right?" " Fuck me." " Well..." "I am to say the least perplexed." "As well as frustrated." "It is Mr. Chidduck's wish that you two idiots remain in his employ." "He speaks... very highly of you." "He feels you will be motivated in resolving this matter, despite my urging him... to fire your fucking ass and have you fed to the fish." "Beyond this, the matter's been left to my discretion." "The art of adjudication." "Precisely, Mr. Jeffers." "To wit, should another macabre spectacle... like the one that presented itself this afternoon take place, you will be cut loose." "And then, Mr. Jeffers," "I will have my druthers." "And I can promise you will not live long enough to never forget." "You need to learn something about this business." "The only thing you can assume about a broken down old man, is that he's a survivor." "Jack." " You think she was running?" " The way I see it... she crossed over when she got off the elevator." "We will resolve this." "But our only concern is with the child." "The girl will be as much of a threat as the men." "The subscriber is unavailable or outside the coverage area." " Shouldn't we be out there with him?" " He's fine." "What if something happens?" "He'll be fine." "And what if he doesn't come back at all?" "He always comes back." "The subscriber is unavailable or..." "Fuck me!" "You're sure she's alright?" "I think so." "And the baby?" "As far as I can tell." " And they had no idea..." " None." "Not until I told them." " You didn't mention your relationship." " Fuck you." " What was I supposed?" " Easy!" "Easy." "What good would that have done?" "You did the right thing." "He wouldn't lose his place at the table." "Francesca." "Allen!" "Allen!" "I didn't ask to come back here." "You asked me." "I will not have her, of all people, telling me what..." "For God's sake she's not herself." "More today than most." "If Mom could see that cunt..." "Are you gonna pay?" "I'm goin' to the police." "You're here out of a basic need." "You needed money from me." "I needed discretion from you!" "Loyalty!" "Obedience!" "You're here, quite frankly, because after what happened in Baltimore, you were for sale." "And you will do as you are told!" " What about Robin?" " What about her?" "The woman needs to be reassessed." " What does that mean?" " She ran." "She panicked." " Where's Sarno?" " We thought he'd be with you." "Just hold on there..." "Sit down." "Move your fuckin' hand." "Hello." "Are you the client?" "I am the client." "Tell the doctor to get on highway 19 South." "He'll come to a town named Salsipuedes." "There, he'll find the Nacio Madre Motel." "There is a pay phone where he'll wait." "He induces labor and he'll leave with the baby." "We let the girl go when we feel safe." "He comes alone." "He brings 15 million dollars." "Fifteen million dollars." "We're gonna need some time to get that." "Give me 24 hours." "You got 12." "Goddammit!" "12 fuckin' hours?" "Jesus Christ!" "How do you expect me to..." "Okay." "Alright, fine." "12 hours." "Jesus!" "Is that it?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Small, unmarked bills." "You know how much that weighs?" "Yeah." "Try a couple of thousand pounds." "Alright, fine." "Hundreds." " That it?" " What do you think?" " It has holes." " Well, we're new at this." "You're not gonna make it, kid." "One's a backfire, three is gunplay." "Step out." "Put it down." "A cop'll come by and blow your head off." "Hands on your chest." "Who are you?" "Well, son... right now, I'm the button man." "I'm the guy you wake up to one night... maybe a year from now, maybe two." "All you'll see is a pillow over your face and you'll hear a pop." "Plenty more where I came from." "Yeah." "I used to be one." " What's happening?" " Looks like a bagman." "He'll make an offer." "Something small." "You should take it, maybe." "You can't trust a bagman." "Always double-cross you." "Tell you what I'm willin' to do, kid." "I'll take you to the man right now." "He'll hand you a million in cash." "You wait while your partner sends the girl." "She gets there, we let you go." "Sounds shaky." "It's better than the alternative, I promise." "You wanna wait here for 12 hours?" "Look what happened when you just stopped for some gas." "We just wanna do this clean and quiet..." "Get the girl and the baby back safe." "I'll buy you a cup of coffee." "A couple cups of coffee, please." "So... are you the brains of the outfit, or is he?" "I don't think this is a brains kind of operation." "You think I helped you because of Baltimore?" "Before Baltimore, you hadn't." "I honestly hoped that, if you eased back into delivering just" "Don't be an idiot." "No one incident makes anyone what they are." "Baltimore simply taught me who I am." "As for what I am..." "I learned all about the value of human life from you." "That certainty is more important than morality." " And so abortion is more certain..." " Exactly." "I don't make mistakes anymore." "I correct them." "So, I empathize with you, Dad, I really do." "Francesca?" "Hey." "Fascinating, isn't it?" "I had no idea." "It's really got me excited." "Excited, huh?" "I missed you." "They'll kill us." "The people I'm in business with." "The money I have leads back to them." "We pay, they kill us." "Any police, they kill us." "That's your bed to lie in, not mine." "You're my son." "I love you." "And it's your bed, too." "That's the sort of people they are." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry I've gotten you involved in this part of my life." "I know it isn't your way of thinking." "I never wanted you to be that way." "But don't be naïve." "She understood who she was dealing with." "It's a simple fact of life... that anyone who would do business with a man like me can't be trusted." "I'm a mother." "As we speak, my child is waiting to come into this world." "And, suddenly, for the first time, I feel like I..." "Well, that he deserves me." "I have not earned him like a mother who's carried a child, but..." "I've worked hard to become a woman who could have one, actually." "With you." " You know where the baby is?" " Of course I do." "You know we have to go get her." "I understand." "If the girl should die..." "I mean, God forbid that anything should happen... but if there's any complications, we'll take care of it." "You just bring me back my baby." "I've been watching them pile up." "Nightstick, flashlight, with a bulletproof vest." "Fucking utility belts." "Fucking sign on his head reading:" ""Why bother?"" "They love to say shit like "ascertain."" " Surveillance." " Affirmative." " I need backup." " Adjudicate." " Adjudicate?" " Yeah, well..." "But, you know..." "Then you got the other side." "These trigger-happy cocksuckers all about the shooting and..." " "I been to prison." - "Cause you got caught."" "They wanna be criminals more than they wanna commit a crime." "Well, that's not just crime." "That's the way of the world." "What?" "Well, I'm just talkin' here." "All we really need to come back with is the baby." "Think about it." "No money, no perps, no nothing." "We could kill these two fucks, keep the money and bring the baby." "Well... mostly well." "What, the girl?" "When she doesn't show up, it'll be assumed that she ate a bullet." "Damn it." "It doesn't work." "The Doc." "The Doctor gets shot in the fray." "We tried to help him, but... it was him or the baby." "He was alive when we took off." "He must have died in the desert." "Creative articulation." " Just talking." " Sure." "All we need is a nice, quiet place to have a baby." "As I've said before, my only concern is for the child." "This is Jeffers." "I need to speak with the Question Mark." "We might be needing a room later on tonight." "You know, you seem like a good guy." " You oughta get out of this business." " What would I do then?" "You get to be my age, you start feelin' different." "You realize one day you're gonna zig..." "You're gonna put somethin' away tomorrow..." "Then one day, you're fresh out of lives." "Do you got some money put away?" "I got a daughter." "She's puttin' somethin' together, says she'll take care of me." "Not working out?" "Somethin' like that, yeah." "You don't wanna take a ride with me?" "A million in cash." "I wish I could." "But..." "Yeah..." " But I'm a bagman." " You are a bagman." "Until that day, then." "What do you think?" "We can get her out of there right now." " There's two, right?" " Please, I have to take a ride back." "Don't do a thing without me." "No matter what." "Jesus Christ, Joe, she's..." "I'm counting on you to remain pitiless here." "Just stay with them and let it play out." "I'll be back." "What's so funny?" "You're cheating." "No, I'm not cheating." "I am winning, all right?" "What?" " What are we playing?" " Hearts." "How do you play?" "The object of hearts is... to finish with the least amount of points." "A heart is the only thing of value." "If you have one, get rid of it." "We start with the two of clubs." "If I don't have a club, then you can throw a heart." "You can't lead a heart unless you have nothing else to throw." "Or someone breaks the suit." "You follow?" "A couple of rounds and she'll get it." "Now you had the high card, so you take the trick." "Now you lead." "First trick always takes the odd card." "You got the bitch." "She's thirteen points." " Just get rid of your hearts." " Or shoot the moon." "You get all the hearts and the queen of spades." "Everyone else loses." "Next to impossible." "If somebody figures out, they can sacrifice and hold on to a heart." "And then you lose." "Is that so?" "Yep." "I needed the money." "It's a million dollars cash." "And I needed it for..." "That's what it was about." "And I told myself that the Chidducks, they'd be good." "And that the baby would have a good life." "I thought I could do it." "I was certain, and it was..." "It was what was best for everyone involved." "For the baby, for the Chidducks, for myself." "The baby." "Then," "I felt it move." "And I saw his little hands." "The baby's mine." "By yours, do you mean that..." "The Chidduck's embryo didn't take." "And this is my son that I'm carrying." "So that means that you and Mr. Chidduck..." "No." " Dr. Painter." " That sneaky little quack." "But it wasn't his idea, it was mine." "I made it happen, because I needed the money." "I made it happen." "Listen." "You don't want guys like him or me touching' your belly." "Please!" "That's creepy." "I appreciate it." "Thanks a lot." "Did you enjoy your coffee?" "I deal in counter-offers and adjudication." "You do your job and I'll do mine." "Why they didn't kill you?" "Maybe I didn't present a real threat." "Not like you fuckheads, shootin' at guys who wouldn't commit a crime." " Money comin'?" " In a while." "I suggest that Dr. Painter goes in now with fifty grand." "It might calm their nerves to feel the real money's gettin' close." "And when you go out, I'll go in." "And adjudicate." "If it comes to that, yes." "You go in by yourself..." "I think I can handle it." "And you, cuff links, you watch over Mr. Chidduck..." " in case there's a contingent." " A what?" "A third man." "A button." "Anything that we haven't thought of." " It's called C YA." "You fucking moron." " Cover your ass." "As a collector of pre-war cop jargon, I find the old man refreshing." "But he's one against two who killed two of my four." "I suggest you let him see "C" your "A"" "What seems to be the problem here?" "The doctor goes in with the money, alone." "He follows the demands, and delivers the child." "We only move in if there's a complication." "Our only concern is for the lives at stake." " You're not seriously..." " I'm in a tight corner." "It's pure geometry, Mr. Sarno." "We've been head-to-head with these guys." "One old man all alone out there..." "No one'll come out alive." "To be honest, Joe, that's not what this is about." "You're conflicted here." "Your job has been to protect me and my money." "I no longer care about any of that." "This is about my child." "And that presents its own special conflict now, doesn't it?" "Emotional detachment, Joe." "For what it's worth," "I think these two pretty much define it." "Are you up to this?" " I'll do whatever has to be done." " Jeffers and Obecks will follow you." "See that you come out safely with the baby." "Sarno handles the money." "I'm not trusting any of you." "I want to eat my cake and have it, too." "The subscriber is not available..." "Shit." " You were talking about killing her." " Adjudicate can mean more." "There was a lot more goin' on than you were seeing." "You were ready to put a woman's life at risk for money." "Not money." "Fifteen million dollars." "Money is what you take to the grocery store." "It's what you get out of an ATM." "Fifteen million dollars is not money." "It's a motive with a universal adapter on it." " You don't think that those..." " Never think." "Thinking's how you lost your nerve in the first place." "Fuck." "You think I don't know you?" "You think your father and I have secrets from each other?" "I know about your residency." "Your so-called hiatus." "I know about that bad piece of luck you had in Baltimore." "I know you weren't expected to deliver this kid." "I know your skull is splitting down the middle... because you think... you're going to have to deliver this baby into the world." "What happened in Baltimore will not happen here." "You understand?" "Because I won't let it." "So..." "So... don't think, Dr. Painter." "Just do." "And, whatever you do, don't tell them what I know." "Keep your mouth shut and everything will be just fine." "Just fine." "Dumping Sarno's gonna be tough to explain." "Tougher still to do." "I ain't buying' his survivor bullshit." "He'll drop from a skull-shot like any other man." "We take him out before he goes in." "Bring the money, and it's our word against the desert's." "Creative articulation, baby." "What is it?" "Somethin' in there between Sarno and Chidduck." "It's chappin' my ass." "What did he say about conflict?" ""This is about my child." "This is a special conflict."" "Why would saving somebody else's child... be a conflict to anyone, unless..." "The girl." "Sarno..." "All set, Doc?" "I was up on this robbery bit... with a public defender." "I was lookin' at my first long stretch." "This lawyer comes to see me... and says he can get me off for free." "I just gotta do a favor in return." "He tells me about this teacher who was molesting his son." "I went up alone." "Didn't make a sound." "Nice thick carpet on the stairwell, a light busted in the hall..." "The door was opened, and..." "It was like it was meant to be." "And I slipped in... and I found him in the bedroom naked... with all these pictures on the bed." "Man, that lawyer was right." "He was more than right." "And then I turned around." "I didn't hit him." "I just said," ""Lay on the bed." "Face down."" "And he did." "And I was savoring it." "I was really, really enjoying it." "I was gonna take a Polaroid of this... and send it to that lawyer so he could sleep better." "And maybe take one for myself..." "And then I heard him praying." "'Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.'" "And it stayed with me." "It bothered me." "Of all the people I'd done it to, that had to be the one I felt." "And to this day, I can't go to sleep unless I say that prayer." "Wanna get out now?" "Wanna quit?" "This is never gonna come your way again." "What if the day comes and you're face down waiting?" "And what if you start to believe in God?" "What are you gonna have to give Him?" "What will you say in your defense?" "What does it matter if we take a child away from his mother?" "After all the people we've robbed and maimed and murdered, you think it matters?" "It matters." "Believe me, it matters." "Wanna leave her a note?" "No, I think it's better if we just leave." "We can't leave her alone." "There's some guy behind the diner." "He'll get her when we're gone." "I left my jacket in there." "I'll get it." "You know what I'm gonna tell God when I see Him?" "I'm gonna tell Him I was framed." "I'm at the Nacio Madre Motel." "There's been a shooting." " In your condition..." " The police are on their way!" "I'll be taking one of you with us!" "Get in your fucking car and move on!" "I got all night long." "I'm not moving." "Test me!" "Peekaboo." "Is that baby hungry yet?" "Whose money is it?" "The worst." "Do you believe in karma, Joe?" "Karma?" "Karma's only justice, without the satisfaction." "I don't believe in justice." "Well, tonight, I certainly hope you're right." "Again." "Useless." "It's okay." "Robin, get in the car." "Robin." "Robin, get in the car." "Who are you?" "Robin." "Robin." "Get in the car." "Don't do it." " Who the fuck are you?" " Who the fuck are you?" "Mind your business." "Robin, come with me." "Come on, get in the car." " What?" " Hands on the car." "On the ground." "Get up, get up!" "She's goin' for the car." "Robin, get in the car!" " Careful." " Lf I want I hit, if I want I miss." "Robin, get in the car!" "To the right!" "Come on!" "Why are they headed south?" "Where are we going?" "Fuck!" "Take us back." "I'm not driving back to where the shots came." " Shouldn't we call Sarno?" " Yeah, I'll call him." "I'll take you to a safe place." "Trust me." "It's okay." "The worst of it's behind us." "Promise me something." "I'll see my baby before he takes him back to the Chidducks." "I promise." "It's me again." "We're coming." "Tell him to be ready." " Yeah?" " It's me." " Where have you been?" " A couple of guys showed up." "It got pretty choppy." "One of 'em made off with her." " They're headed south." " Is Robin alright?" "Yeah." "She seems okay." "I'll talk to you in as best I can." "Hey, Abner, listen..." "I couldn't put my hand to her." " I gotta go." " Abner!" "Nooo!" "In a few minutes, I'm gonna pull out some of your fingernails." "Later I'll slash your eyeballs." "I'll pour gasoline in your eyes... just to keep you from passing' out." "I'm gonna ask you a question for the last time." "Where did they take the girl?" "I don't know." "Nooo!" "Nooo!" "Oh God!" "Oh, God!" "Please, help me." "Please!" "I need to get to a hospital!" "Bitch!" "What is this?" "I've got a business to run!" "I left her with the doctor." " Where were you?" " I had to go to the..." "What happened?" "Who took your IV out?" " Let's put it back in." " No!" "I cannot have pregnant women upsetting my customers." "You are getting paid a lot of money." "Keep her in your sight." "If I don't put the IV back in, the labor's gonna stop." "It's killing me." "Something's wrong." "I don't see any money." "This is fifty." "I'll make the call, and you will have double that." "Make the phone call." "I need the fucking baby, first." "Help me tie her down." "It won't come out." "It's killing me." "Oh, my God!" "Is that bleeding normal?" "The placenta has separated from her uterus, and she's bleeding internally." "It's gonna be okay." "You're gonna be okay." "Make it stop." "Is the baby going to die?" "What?" "What is it?" " I have to give her a C section." " Do it." "You're talking about major surgery!" "I could kill her." "I have to get her to a hospital." "My only concern is for the child." "No one else." "Now do it." "It's our baby!" "Tell him it's our baby and he let us go." "It's not the Chidducks." "They can have another one." "Just tell him it's our baby!" "Is this true?" "Tell him!" "Make it stop!" "Are you comfortable, Robin?" "We're going to take out your baby now." "Nooo!" "What is that?" "It's a spinal." "Don't knock me out." "I have to see my baby." "I want to see my baby." "It'll numb you from the waist down." " Stay still." " Okay." "I'm gonna get a smoke." "She's... she's up there with them." "The doctor... and the colored fella." "Oh, Jesus!" "I'm sorry, Joe." "There's... no need to be sorry, Abner." "I'm dying." "We'll get somebody right away." "No." "It's not... like I'm scared or anything." " Listen, Abner." " I'm dying, Joe." "Remember that time... the time... that we..." "Oh, jeez..." " What time?" " I'm dying, Joe." "I'm sorry, Abner." "Joe." "Yeah, Abner." "I'm right here." "If it's not too much trouble," "I'd kinda like to be alone." "To let live." "For Christ's sake, will you?" "There are some men here to see you." "Can I get some help in here?" " Can you walk?" " I want to get that cock-sucker." "Oh, no." "What is it, man?" "Bagmen." "Let's get the girl." " You got it, Doc?" " Almost." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Is my baby okay?" "How's the baby, Doc?" "What's going on with the baby?" "Doc?" ""How is the baby?"" "Get back in there, Doc." "I'm sorry." "Come on, man." "Come on." "My baby..." "Come on, brother." "Let's do this." "She's had enough, pal." "Just relax now." "It's almost there." "It's under control." "There's nothing you can do here." "Get out." "There's always free cheese in a mouse trap." "What do you think?" "A plan is a list of things that don't happen." "If we die, we die alone." "Are you all right?" "Yeah, I'm still here." "Are you still with me?" "Yeah." "Come on up." "Are you gonna let her keep the baby?" "It's her baby." "Her and the doctor." "Is that true?" "What do you think?" "You can tell somebody's family just by looking at 'em." "Until that day." "Until that day." "What are you gonna tell God now?" "We don't want your forgiveness." "We won't make excuses." "We're not gonna blame you." "But we will not accept your natural order." "We didn't come for absolution." "We didn't ask to be redeemed." "But isn't that the way it is?" "Every god-damned time." "You're prayers are always answered in the order they're received." "I'm pregnant."
