"♪ Slippin' into darkness" "♪ take my mind" "♪ beyond the dreams" "♪ I was slippin' into darkness" "♪ yeah" "♪ take my mind" "♪ beyond the dreams" "♪ where I talk to my brothers" "♪ oh-oh-oh-oohh" "June, wake the fuck up." "What the fuck is goin' on?" "What don't you two gentlefucks tell me what it is I can do for ya at 7 A.M. on a fuckin' Tuesday." "Listen, cut the shit." "You know why we're here." "See originally, the plan was just to take your friend." "The dead one over there with us." "Looks like you're gonna have to take his place." "It's time to pay up." "Alright, here's how it's gonna go." "Either one of you raise those my way, and you're both gonna be a couple of fuckin'" "Jackson pollocks on the wall behind you!" "Look, you would'a shot me if you were man enough when I walked through the fuckin' door." "You killed your best friend." "Your boss is done." "Your income is gone." "And so is your white pony ride." "Let's face it, you're a fiend, kid." "I know your family." "They're gonna drop you quicker than you dropped that little slut you've been whorin' around town with." "I'll have you know that about two hours ago I had my dick buried so deep inside that slut's ass." "The one you're referring to, I assume." "My girlfriend." "And as for this fuck, he did it to himself." "God knows why." "Let's just just get this shit over with." "You know you're dead already." "But if this is how it's gonna go, then roll the curtains." "You can't fight fate." "I'll tell ya, if god's in this room, he's one sick fuck." "Name, date of birth." "Nothin' to say for yourself?" "That's alright." "No one leaves here without full disclosure." "Take him to six." "Let's see." "Glass, glass." "Drew, is it?" "Of course it is." "What is this, am I being charged?" "We'll get to that when we get there." "Now, you are, in fact, Mr. glass, I presume?" "Yeah." "See, how hard was that?" "And you are Mr. glass of September, 1984." "Yeah." "Born to Veronica black." "Deceased, December of 1985." "Correct?" "Father unknown." "Assumed and adopted by one" "Lawrence Fitzgerald glass." "What is this about?" "We'll get to that, I promise." "Just answer as I ask." "However trivial or menial it may sound." "So?" "So." "Am I being charged?" "Oh, well, let me explain to you what it is exactly that I do." "I'm a glorified buffer of sorts." "A bag man in my previous life." "The reason I do what I do, and the man in charge chose me, is because I have the impeccable ability to remain non-partisan and unwavering, while retaining" "the relevant amount of empathy it takes to sit across this table." "Now, we're gonna cover a lot of ground in a short period of time." "So, we will start small and simple and follow all the splinters as they surface." "So, I need you to tell me how you got here." "What happened?" "I'm not exactly sure." "Too much too soon, huh?" "Okay, what about the previous day?" "Where did that begin?" "A blow job?" "A cup of coffee?" "Suduko?" "It doesn't have to be significant or profound, we're just tryin' to find a beginning." "Nine times out of 10, these things start with a car ride." "Or a woman." "It started with both." "Proceed." "Tell me about the girl." "What the hell is goin' on, man?" "Why you takin' a fuckin' attitude with me?" "Don't forget I took my night off to drive the fuck out here to bum fuck nowhere." "Would you give it a fuckin' break?" "You know I don't wanna be doin' this shit either?" "Thought you was gonna talk to him first." "I thought about it, what's the point?" "What did Larry say?" "I'd say we're doin' him a favor." "And now that we're out here," "I just think it's better this way." "You thought things were fucked up before, shit's only gotten worse." "You ain't gotta church it up for me, man." "You waste drew, and your debt with lg is done." "How the fuck you plan on doin' this?" "We pull off in that fuckin' reservoir." "Do you even have a piece?" "Under the seat." "Jesus." "And you just decided to tell me this?" "Well, don't waste time bein' all sentimental." "Just watch your fuckin' mouth." "♪ Mother earth" "♪ on whom the moon" "♪ and stars do shine" "♪ mother earth" "♪ you are so divine" "♪ You said that love is blind" "♪ I'm gonna make you" "♪ I'm gonna make you mine" "♪ mother earth" "♪ yes, you include" "♪ the sea and land come here you son of a bitch." "It's been too long." "Six years." "Way too long." "How do I look?" "Grown." "So, how was your flight?" "Not too bad." "A little tight." "Only motherfucker I knew who charters a fuckin' prop plane." "Hey, let me get a hit off that bottle." "Hey, hold your shit." "Where's your manners at." "You want a Christmas, drewby?" "Nah, I'm good, man." "I gave it up." "Gave it all up." "You serious?" "Had too, man." "The shit was killin' me." "You tellin' me with the genes you got that don't add up, man." "You're tellin' me you quit shooting' dope and you can't even have a drink with your friends?" "I'm proud of you, man." "I'm serious." "I know how hard it is to quit that shit." "It's fuckin' brutal." "Especially with that shit LG's puttin' out on the streets." "It's got the whole damn town hooked." "Hope you weren't expecting' to come back and find things cleaned up, man." "They oughta blow this motherfucker off the map." "I'm not expecting much." "Been gone too long to have any expectations." "I seen Junebug around town." "She been around." "How is she?" "She sure as hell ain't clean and sober like you are," "I can tell you that." "But she don't go far." "Larry's got her hooked so she don't wander." "I didn't want you to hear like this, but, it's not so good." "Wow." "If I knew what would happen when I left." "Hondo!" "Hondo, wake the fuck up, man!" "♪ I go back to the yesterday" "you got a lotta nerve, little birdie, comin' out here ordering' me around." "You're more liable to catch buckshot out here than any kind of help." "I can tell you fiendin'." "You must be, comin' all the way out here raisin' hell among us common folk." "What the fuck you thinkin'?" "I know that Jew daddy of yours taught you some kind of manners." "I know that Dreidel Spinner taught you that much." "Can't we just fuckin' talk inside?" "We can talk right here." "These my people's, and you're fuckin' up their shit." "They're all tryin' to get their fix too." "And they here day in and day out." "Why I drop my shit and cater to you?" "Hondo, fuckin' please, man." "Just please let me fucking see little birdie, this is why I don't like you and yours." "Y'all got this air." "Entitlement." "It makes me fuckin' sick." "Think you better than the rest of us?" "I'm a reasonable man, though." "I'm a listen to what you got to say." "But if it don't benefit me," "I'll cut that cunny out your crotch and snail mail it back to your daddy." "Get the fuck in the trailer." "I didn't wanna do it." "It was Larry." "He wants you dead." "Look at me." "I loved you, man." "Morning, father." "Mr. glass." "It's nice to hear your voice again." "How have you been keeping up?" "You know." "Just tryin' to make you look good." "Seems like I caught you all in the middle of somethin'." "Just preparing for this evening's mass." "Come in, sit down." "I'll stand, thanks." "You can see time has been generous to you, father Francis." "You've aged well." "Preparing for mass, huh?" "Yeah, I remember how that whole shindig goes." "Yes, it's quite a delicate task." "Well, you think after, what's it been?" "40 years of doing this." "It would become like second nature to you bead mumblers." "Is there something we can do for you, boy?" "Francis." "Drew, I'm sorry, he's in quite a mood today." "Now is there something you came here to say or can I get back to work?" "Okay, I'll tell you what you can do for me." "You can grab that bank roll and that dope you got under the tabernacle, so I can get up out your hair." "Let you get back to your gospel." "Drew." "Larry hasn't given us donations for a long time." "All these accusations and innuendos you're making." "I can assure you are inaccurate and unappreciated." "You tell me one more lie, father." "And I will mount you on that crucifix and let you bleed out your ass." "Now we both know you're no fucking martyr, so, do yourself a favor" "and I can remind you of how gentle you were with me." "Show the boy to it, Jack." "Go ahead now." "What you got to say?" "Somethin' got fucked up, okay?" "And nobody's holdin', so," "I know better than to come down here if it isn't worth your while." "So, I got over a thousand and" "I just need enough to get me through, like, just the next few days til we get back up." "See," "I was right." "I knew you was itchin'." "Well, you know I got it." "Got plenty of it." "But your money ain't no good here." "Take a look out that window." "You seen my people's." "Every one of those sad fucks outside, more loyal to me then they are to their spouse or their preacher." "Because this shit right here" "Got a grip on 'em tighter than a cunt or crucifix." "What can I do?" "Just fucking tell me." "What can you do?" "Why don't you try that again all sexy like for me?" "What can I do?" "Hmm." "My dick didn't even hiccup at that." "But, don't trip, birdie." "I wouldn't let you smoke this pole anyhow." "You ain't my type." "And, like I said," "I don't fall for any breed of beef." "I tell you what, though." "You got balls comin' out here." "And for that, I'll deal with you." "But I don't want your money." "Come with me." "Come on." "Just come sit here for a minute, alright?" "I need to talk to grace." "What's goin' on?" "Who's the little one?" "Just come in here." "Is that the girl?" "Where the hell did you find her?" "Hondo had her." "Hondo, Darla's ex?" "What the hell were you doing with him?" "Someone knocked off all our shit that came in this mornin'." "I've been so fuckin' sick, so I went," "I went down there." "He was gonna bury me if I didn't take her with me." "Can you watch her for a couple of hours while I figure out what I'm gonna do with her?" "Sure." "Okay." "Are you gonna be alright?" "Yeah, it just shook me up." "He had her, he had her tied up in a fucking shed." "It must've been, like, 100 degrees in there." "Lord knows what he's been doin' to her." "Blow." "I'm sorry." "Take care of your business." "I'll get her fed, okay." "She's safe here, mama, so, don't worry." "Just go out take care of what you gotta do." "Hungry?" "Hmm?" "Got some fish sticks I can heat up for you, how's that sound?" "What's your name, sweetheart?" "Roonie." "Roonie?" "I've never met anyone with that name before." "You're adorable, you know that." "Hey, you got the money for lam?" "Yeah, it's in the bedside table." "Hey, listen, I gotta go do some big girl things." "But I'll be back in a few hours, okay?" "Listen, nothing's gonna happen to you." "Okay?" "You're safe here." "And grace can take really good care of you, okay?" "When I come back, maybe we'll go get some ice cream." "That sound good?" "I'll see you soon." "I don't care who comes to the door, don't let anyone inside." "I got you, are you gonna be okay?" "Yeah, I just gotta figure out what in the hell I'm gonna do with her." "Be careful." "Alright, I'll see you soon." "You got yourself a little boat." "You do?" "I like that catfish." "Yeah, well, who don't like fresh catfish?" "Oh, you're a bottom feeder, huh?" "That's my world, your's too." "Yes, sir." "Gotta like 'em." "I like beans, man." "I like beans, catfish, Cole slaw." "Jesus, I love cooking' beans." "Put a little a that soul sauce on there too?" "Oh, here she is." "Come on, sugar." "How you feel today?" "This is daddy's little dove." "Never a day or a dollar short." "Look at you, a well oiled machine." "There's efficiency, ain't that right baby, huh?" "How old are you, sweetheart?" "23." "Goddamn you look good." "Hey, I see those gears grinding'." "She ain't like the others." "It's my Clydesdale." "Breeder." "My Seabiscuit." "I raised her myself." "What was that, the usual?" "Mm-hmm." "Good girl, huh, what do you want?" "Mister, sir, uh," "The phone is for you." "Take a message" "Perros." "Perro, she's crying man." "Who?" "The woman." "Who?" "The woman she's crazy." "Jesus." "I can't understand her." "Christ!" "Go on, what the hell I pay you for?" "I'll be right back." "Huh?" "Goddamn you got a nice lookin' ass." "What are you gonna do with that?" "I don't know." "What do you want me to do?" "Are you a freak?" "I can tell a freak any time." "A mile long." "Where'd you come from?" "Just made the pick up and then I came over." "Anything unusual?" "No, what do you mean?" "I gotta go, Ronny." "I'll back to you on them licenses." "And, uh, and you." "If anything, like an emergency happens while I'm gone." "You'll call me, right?" "Mm-hmm." "I'll see ya." "Well, now daddy's gone." "Why don't you bring that on around here and let me toss it up and play with it a little bit." "Forgive me, son, but I asked about the girl." "Now all of this is fascinating." "We need to get to where you come into play." "What is it that you're after, exactly?" "This here's a wildflower." "It ain't nothin' special but I mean," "I think it's gonna be big." "Hey." "Can I talk to you for a minute?" "What 'chu want mister?" "How are you today?" "Don't worry about how I is, what 'chu doin' out here?" "I'm lookin' for a man named pope." "You say you lookin' for a pope?" "No, a man named pope, used to live around here." "Mr. you know who pope is?" "Yeah I do, I've known pope longer n' you been alive." "Is that right?" "That's right." "I can't help ya I'm sorry." "I got a hundred dollars." "Anybody might lead me to him." "Hey squirt you stay right here alright." "Now you say what now?" "I say I got a hundred dollars to anybody who take me to pope." "Tell ya what you keep that Benjamin, you come out here lookin' all slick like," "look like the kinda guy might know where to find a bag a ice." "Yeah, I might be able to help you with that." "Here we gonna do." "Ol' squirt back there he gotta boat." "He gonna take ya a quarter mile up the river." "I ain't gettin' in that boat 'cause I'm scared a skins." "But here's the deal" "I'm gonna hold me end you hold yours." "You don't I'm gonna string ya up like a Southern wind chime." "Ya understand?" "Oh you gonna be happy with what I got for you boy." "I'll be the judge a that, alright, hey squirt." "You gonna hop in with this man here, he gonna take ya up the river alright?" "You're gonna be alright, alright." "Little man get on in the door's open." "Is this somethin' I should have an attorney for?" "What are you guilty of?" "Again, I apologize for the implication format but usually when one requests representation it's an admission of guilt." "Now we can go down that Avenue but there's a mess here." "And although there are other subjects who are most certainly involved you in fact are the only one they brought to me." "Not anyone else." "I can assure you forfeiting this opportunity would be something to regret because there won't be another opportunity for reprieve, understood?" "I think I do." "So what will it be?" "Are we done?" "Very well." "Wait." "Fuck it." "This it?" "Shit." "Don't go nowhere." "I mean, don't you go nowhere, I'll be back." "Up there, huh?" "Shit." "Hello?" "Pope?" "Hey, how long has it been?" "February '92." "I don't know how the fuck you remember that." "How are ya?" "The fuck does it look like I am?" "I don't deserve any chit chat I mean I just drove in a car for about an hour got stuck in a boat with a mute and nearly killed myself walkin' up here." "Then well, why don't you get to the point why you're here." "It's, is my son." "Remember him?" "Yeah, the one you adopted." "That's it, well he's gone off the rails." "Gotta Jihadist agenda and he's just hurt me in, just hurt me in ways that I can't forgive him." "I don't really know how to say this but." "So you want me to put him down?" "I like the way you say that." "Well it's gonna be double for family." "Ohh." "Double?" "Did I stutter I said double." "Thing about it is I need it done yesterday." "Well that's why you came to me isn't it then?" "Alright, no that's alright, I'll just, okay." "Just let me know." "Let me know." "Smoke?" "Please." "So what else?" "Yes, well, says here that you have an uncle." "Was he related to your mother?" "Yeah." "A," "Marvin Crenshaw glass." "Marvin, yeah." "I had a felling you'd still be here." "I never move boy, you know better than that." "What happened?" "Never mind I'll tell you about it later." "What's in the cup?" "Green tea." "Green tea?" "What man you go queer on me?" "Alright, gimme a swig." "Man just when I thought I couldn't draw one." "Thought you'd appreciate that pay off the house and maybe the car payment." "Oh, boy you been gone a minute, fuck the car n' the house." "Sorry." "Shit." "It's all bullshit man." "Just leave the chair out here." "C'mon." "I'm not even gonna ask." "C'mon." "Here's for your troubles Marv." "You are a Saint boy." "So what happened man, you okay?" "Yeah." "Don't overdue it now you're the only blood I got left." "You know I hate to spoil you but it feels right." "Oh, boy I been in the game a while." "Big man would'a punched out my ticket long time ago if he's goin' to." "Don't take being' a dope fiend to fell like that." "What brings you around?" "Filin' this under vacation time or somethin'?" "You could call it that." "I got some evils of my own to clear out." "Some business to insure pleasure." "Just the trash man this time." "You know where a trash man finds himself at the end of his day?" "Where's that?" "Standin' alone right in front of the pile of crap he's collected, covered in shit." "I suspect I'll be covered from head to toe when I'm done." "Alright I'm sure you will be." "Ahhhh." "Oh, yeah, yeah." "That fuckin' Keich that raised ya." "Easy Marv." "Don't fall outta that high now." "Man shouldn't be allowed to live like that and not taste hell for it." "Ohhhh." "A man's gotta have a code, yeah." "Or what else, what kinda man is he?" "What d'ya think I came back?" "Make good with all the folks I've taken from and taken from me, start over?" "Nah." "I came back to say my piece." "Get some much needed sleep." "Uh, huh." "Ah, the one thing I learned is that you you don't have to be six feet under to be cycled out of existence." "Oh, the truth is that I've been wanderin' this earth without a soul for years." "And the only sense that I can make out of the extent of my existence is this." "Is this some sort of fucked up punishment for my failure to live?" "When I go, and I pray god, I hope it's soon." "But when it happens, if I'm lucky," "it'll be with a needle in my arm or at my side." "Just a comfortable compromise." "Don't be like me." "Ahh, when you cross over boy you make sure you got some truth to put on the table." "Or heaven's gonna burn your eyes." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Oh." "Take a seat." "Hey, you know, Jer, I'm gonna have to call you back later." "Hmmm." "Well, well, well." "The prodigal son." "How the hell are ya?" "Good." "So maybe we just outta cut the bullshit, huh?" "Quit actin' so excited to see each other." "Head penguin over at St. Vincent's she called me." "Just to let me know that you were in town." "And before you cum all over yourself tryin' to explain let me just say that I'm very aware of that special relationship you had with Jackie and uncle frank." "But I," "I do indeed need to insist" "that I get back what is mine." "There's more then just my mouth that relies on what you took so why don't you just get to what you want?" "We can let bygones be." "Just like that?" "Well hell ya, just like that." "And if I don't." "My god son." "You know when they talk about a Thorn in your side?" "That's what you are to me." "So what'a we gonna do boys?" "What are we gonna do about 'ol sporto here, huh?" "Why don't I make it easy on ya?" "Look at that." "I will guarantee that this little treasure will remain intact if we can just work out a compromise." "What's it say on there, oh, to my daddy." "Love, little June bug." "God." "That's" "Settle down." "That's, no!" "No!" "No!" "Let me know if that brings back any memories for you." "Shhhhh." "Ahhhh!" "Just take that right there." "Well, get up." "Get up." "Pull your pants up." "Come on now, get on up." "No, no, no, no, no." "Pedro just mopped in here." "You can walk around and act like you went out in the world and made somethin' of yourself." "But if you think for a fuckin' second!" "That you could come in here and take what is mine." "You got another thought comin'." "When that fuckin' Junkbox mother of yours topped herself off, who?" "Who brought you in?" "Who took care a you, who fuckin' loved you?" "You and June bug." "And I know you come here with a mission." "On the warpath with fire in your eyes let me tell you right now, what you come here to save is dead and gone boy." "You have my shit here tonight!" "And I'll let you both live." "How 'bout that, huh?" "How 'bout that, do we understand each other?" "Do we understand each other?" "Huh?" "Now get the fuck outta my office." "You two, both a you, get the fuck outta here!" "Where's the boy?" "This is you and me." "Okay." "Cigarette?" "Obliged." "'Preciate it." "What did she say about me?" "The woman is such a bitch." "Crap." "My life." "Uh, Deidreth, yeah I need to call back." "Yeah, of course it's my brother." "Hey." "Hey." "Look who the fuck it is." "I thought you were dead by now." "You know Taylor should be home any minute." "She's in the first grade now." "Yeah they got her in one of those immersion programs." "She's learnin' French." "Mmm." "You want anything baby, like coffee, or?" "No." "You seen Raymond yet?" "I actually came by to surprise him is he around?" "He's here got himself a legitimate business." "A regular entrepreneur I'll let him elaborate." "Hey sergeant." "Yeah." " Okay sergeant." " Call me sergeant." "Call me sergeant pepper-cock." "Okay pepper-cock." "Yes give it to me, yes." "Where's the salsa?" "Oh." "Libby?" "Libby, what the fuck?" "Well what the fuck, did Libby not tell you we're shootin' in here?" "She mentioned you were a small business owner." "She didn't say anything about you being the second coming of Johnny watt." "Yeah?" "Well how'd I look you peppin' faggot?" "Use your hips more, it's not just about stabbin' her." "Come on baby, who the fuck is it?" "It's just a ghost sweetie." "This a bad time?" "It's always a bad time, come on in." "Just ignore the bitch, she's out of her mind." "Baby hang tight for me alright, we'll finish up in a minute." "Are you Dirk Diggler Nowaday?" "If you only knew the market in Internet porn brother you'd be jockin' that tube steak in front of the camera your damn self." "Business is good?" "It's booming', you got no idea." "Best move I ever made was employing my own cock man." "I mean fuck chasing' dope fiends, this is like shootin' fish in a barrel, but with dynamite." "Well it's good to hear you got your shit all worked out." "Wouldn't expect any less." "Actually came by to check your interest on somethin'." "Well I wouldn't expect any less from you neither Drewbee." "I've never known you not to be workin' somethin'." "I'm guessing you saw the Jew already." "Yeah I ran into him." "Alright." "Wait for me outside." "I gotta get some, pants on." "Let me get one of them smokes." "Paid a visit to our friends this mornin'." "Diaper snipers?" "Yeah." "Got a little outta hand." "Shit man." "I don't even need details." "Those twisted fucks deserve whatever happened to 'em." "What 'chu need from me?" "Just wait by the phone." "This goes the way I see it I won't be able to ever come back." "We could get off what's in the guest room and be good for a while." "I just need to know you're still reliable." "Till death my friend, till death." "Well, you've been around the block a few times." "Watchin' the world turn to shit." "You know how do you find the balance." "You see my grandfather used to tell me this story about a war within his mind between two wolves." "Now he said one wolf represented anger, superiority, ego, rage, resentment." "Now the other wolf represented benevolence, passion, peace, and kindness." "And then he said to me I see the same war within you." "And I said, well, which wolf wins?" "And he said what's the one that you feed?" "Shit that's deep." "You know my father now he used to say the world's a bitch son." "As soon as she spreads her legs and you take a bite of that pie she owns you and if she ever catches you fuckin' around not playin' by her rules she will take everything and leave your ass out in the cold." "Some words of wisdom right?" "Well I can't say I disagree with that perspective of yours." "Oh, a, do you mind?" "How's she doin'?" "I got her eatin' chocolate, look at her." "I got her some clean clothes, some cookies in the car." " She's fed." " Okay." "We cleaned her up and braided her hair." "She's been sleepin' for an hour or two think she needed it." "Good." "What do you think he was doin' to her?" "I don't know." "Did anyone come by?" "Drew." "Drew, which one?" "Drew, my drew?" "He came by but, he did, what did he say?" "He wants you to meet him at the diner at four." "Is that all he said?" "How did he look?" " He looked good, healthy." " Yeah." "He just said to make sure you're there at four." "You want me to keep her while you go?" "No." "I'm responsible for this little one." "I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to her." "What's so funny?" "This little one's givin' you a case of baby fever" "I can't help it, look at her, hey." "I got you some clean clothes you wanna see?" "Yeah." "And I got you some cookies you still hungry?" "Well, you're right." "There's no room in the world for a decent man anymore." "Just a bunch of medicated droolers lookin' to be absolved by a congregation of suits." "Boob-tube prophets." "And in this moment of divine insight if you can call it that" "I don't apologize to anyone for not participating." "Wasn't my game to begin with." "I never injured anyone but myself." "You cannot lose if you do not play." "Ahhhh." "Ugghhh." "So let me ask you a question." "Upon your arrival how much of this did you anticipate?" "Are you asking me if this was premeditated?" "Yes." "I'd say what was thought out was always subject to change." "I mean a situation like this never pans out like you'd expect." "I hear that a lot in this room." "I guess what I'm tryin' to say is my goal was to stay true to the agenda and do my best to avoid any collateral damage." "You know I," "I have a thing about tampering with the innocent." "Why's that?" "Innocence ain't cheap." "Can I touch you?" " Yeah." " Yeah?" "You look so beautiful." "So do you, you look good." "Are you ready?" "I can't believe you're real." "There's someone I want you to meet." "How 'bout this little girl?" "How did you assume responsibility for her and what was the obligation in doing so?" "Well that was all June but I think she saw something in Rooney that she identified with but hadn't seen in herself since she was a little girl." "You know something she'd forgotten but had been searching for." "Did she think that the innocence of this child could wipe both your slates clean?" "Something like that." "She's adorable isn't she?" "Yeah." "Where'd you find her?" "Everybody's looking for that kid." "Hondy had her locked up in a shed." "I guess her parents owed so he did away with them." "She's lucky you found her." "What's gonna happen?" "I don't know." "I think I should keep her." "You think there's a way to change the way we've turned out?" "I don't know." "I spent the last six years trying to figure that out." "When I realized I couldn't" "I found myself right back here." "Maybe she's what we needed." "Something to save." "June we can't even save ourselves." "I just need to get out of here." "That's why I came to take you with me." "I know but what about her?" "I can't just leave her now, she's got no one that loves her." "Why can't that be us?" "How long are we gonna be here?" "I don't know babe, why what's up?" "When can I go home?" "I don't know." " Why?" " Cause I," "I don't know I'm figurin' that out." "Listen, I need you to be strong for me okay?" "I need you to be brave." "I know how you feel." "When I was little I had to be brave too." "Somethin' happened to me between then and now and I got lost but," "I'm not gonna let that happen to you." "I promise, okay." "You're gonna be okay, come here." "You're gonna be okay." "Well you have to understand where we came from." "Where she came from, when I first met her she was six years old, she was raised overseas." "Her mother was a prostitute murdered." "At the time Larry was gettin' women from there." "She came in with one of the new crops of girls." "I still remember the first time I saw her." "She was this little, petrified bag a bones." "Couldn't speak a word of English, scared of her own shadow." "That's why when she introduced me to Rooney I didn't even have to think about it, I knew what June saw in her even if she didn't." "Hey Rooney." "Listen I need you to do something for me okay?" "We're goin' somewhere that's not that safe so I need you to just trust me and come with me for a second okay?" "It's safe in here you're just wait and I'll come get you." "Okay?" "You can do it." " Okay." " Okay." "Alright." "You want me to get your things together?" " Yeah." " Yeah?" "Yeah." "♪ I put a spell on you" "♪ because you're mine" "♪ please stop the things that you do" "Wanna go somewhere warm or cold?" "You pick baby." "♪ No, no I ain't lyin'" "♪ you know I can't stand it" "♪ you runnin' around" "♪ you know better babe" "♪ I can't stand it, can't stand it, can't stand it" "♪ cause you let me down, ye-yeah" "♪ I put a spell on you" "♪ because, because I know, I know that you're mine" "♪ you're mine girl" "so what, what'd ya pack for?" "What?" "Hot or cold?" "Oh, hot." "♪ Put a spell on you" "♪ cause you're mine" "give it here." "♪ Please stop the things that you do" "♪ I ain't lying', no, no I ain't lyin'" "♪ you know I can't stand it" "♪ you went to runnin' you know better girl" "I didn't think you remembered." "It's like ridin' a bike." "♪ Because you let me down yeah" "♪ I put a spell on you" "♪ hey, hey girl, because, because you're mine" "♪ I got my mojo" "♪ I'm gonna cast a spell on you" "♪ can you see drew." "Yes, love?" "Don't ever leave me." "Never." "I'm alone without you." "Don't make me do that again." "I'm not goin' anywhere." "Take me to bed." "What are we gonna do?" "What do you mean?" "I just know this isn't gonna play out the way we want." "I can't keep runnin'." "But this is just the beginnin'." "Whatever this life is" "I think it's just to find the thing that you love and then when we cross over to what's next" "we only take those things with us." "I believe that." "I do." "I don't wanna go anywhere warm." "I don't wanna keep runnin'." "I want what I been waitin' for." "I don't wanna wait any longer and leave it to chance." "Do you know what your asking me to do?" "I think it's the only way." "It's okay to be scared." "I love you." "I'll find you." "Do you understand now?" "Where I'm comin' from with all this?" "Why I believe it had to happen this way?" "I'm tired of livin' in the darkness man." "It's all I've ever know, all that's ever known me, besides her." "You ever think about suicide?" "Hmm?" "I mean really thought about it?" "Like there might not be no other way out?" "It's a dark place to exist." "And I've lived with the burden of that for far too long." "Longer than I can remember and it's suffocating me." "But at that moment you can relay this verbatim to whoever you need to answer to who decides my future beyond this room at the moment she asked me to put her down because she knew we'd be together" "I didn't doubt her for a second." "And I don't regret it because where she came from and the hell we went through together no fire, no inferno could top that." "In fact I'd invite god to the challenge." "God?" "Where do you find him in all of this?" "Never easy puttin' down family now is it?" "Who the fuck are you?" "You know who I am." "What's important is that you listen to what I have to say." "You know kid the apex of our existence is when you have the courage to baptize your demons to get the keys to our salvation." "I'm gonna help you make a choice." "You see I don't find faith in life, or death or what's been taken from me." "Only in what's been left behind." "Elaborate." "I don't know that I understand." "I grew up in the Midwest, tornado country." "And when I was a kid we'd hear the sirens and we'd all huddle together in the basement or the bathroom and wait for the storm to pass." "There's this one storm that was particularly bad." "I still remember the sound, the roar of it." "But after it passed the whole neighborhood came out to see the damage that's what we did, everyone in unison." "And I mean houses were destroyed, cars wrapped around trees, bodies of livestock cows, horses, you name it just strewn all over the streets." "But among all the chaos and debris there was this one little baby deer, a Fawn." "Just roaming among the wreckage which was surely dead." "You see that's where I find god." "And what's been spared from the madness where innocence prevails where all else is lost." "That's what I found in June, that's what she was to me." "Does that answer your question?" "I believe so." "So where are we with all this?" "And can I have a drink I'm dyin' of thirst?" "We're close and yes." "Have to run these files over to the upstairs office before it closes tonight anyway." "What can I get ya?" "Just water." "Sure thing." "I'll be just a minute." "It's me." "What's the score?" "Shit's changed." "Got company." "Aww, shit." "Took off with the car and somethin' else I couldn't afford to lose." "Where's June?" "Gone." "Alright, where you need me?" "At the spot around nine." "Alright." "I got this but I can't eat it." "Pope's in town." "We're talkin' about pope, right?" "Nazi Windtalker?" "Well, do we still have to leave in the morning?" "Holy shit man." "What the fuck's wrong with you." "Holy shit!" "Alright." "It's gonna be okay." "Look I can't take you to a doctor here too many questions." "Just a, just wait 'till we get outta state tomorrow, alright." "We'll get you a fuckin' tetanus shot." "I gotta go see my girl but, you're gonna stay at Mi Casa." "I'll be by at eight sharp to pick you up." "Crystal?" "Yeah." "It's okay to be scared." "Whatever this life is." "I think it's just to find the things you want." "And then when we crossover to what's next we only take those things with us." "My job entails the screening, for lack of a better term, of the accused or condemned." "I am what my colleagues and alumni set in that chair called the gatekeeper." "Which one?" "That one." "Now you wouldn't lie to me now would you?" "Why are you doin' this?" "Order." "You're gonna kill me in there aren't you?" "♪ Mother earth" "♪ on whom the moon and stars do shine" "♪ mother earth" "♪ you are so divine" "♪ you said that love is blind" "♪ I'm gonna make you" "♪ I'm gonna make you mine" "♪ mother earth" "♪ yes you include the sea and land"
