"Dottie!" "Dottie god damn it, wake up!" "Shut up T" " Bone!" "God damn it, Dottie, let me in!" "T" " Bone, shut up!" "Dottie!" "Wake up!" "Dottie!" "Open the god damn door!" "Dottie!" "Get out of that fucking bed right fucking now!" "Dottie, open this door!" "Dottie!" "Dottie, please open the door!" "Dottie!" "Dottie, I got to task a piss!" "Wake up, it's me!" "Shit!" "Hold on!" " Open the god damn door!" " I coming!" "Shut Up!" "God put some clothes on, for god's sake!" "Hell, I did not know who you were." "Shit." "Close the god damn door!" "You answers the door like that, if you do not know who it is?" "Nothing you have not seen before." "Nothing half of Dallas County has not seen before." "Shut up." "Dad here?" "He sleeps." "Dottie here, aint she?" " Adele throw you out?" " No, I need to talk to Dad." "Why she through you out?" "Did you hit her again?" "No, I didn't hit her." "Hey, look, would you please put some clothes on?" " My God, I've never heard..." " It's a bit distracting, your bush staring me in the face." "alright!" "Jesus." "Damn it!" "Help yourself." "What you did do, chop up some clover?" "Where did you get this shit?" "I bought from you." "This is that?" "What are you doing here?" "Adele throw him out." "So what?" "The boy can talk." "I need a place to stay, alright?" "Why she throw you out?" "It's a long story." "Sharla, give me a beer." "What you do, hit her again?" "No, god damn it!" "I didn't hit her." "It's not you never hit her before." "It's aint none of your god damn business, Sharla." " Hey, I live here." " Calm down." "I got to listen to your naked wife giving me..." " ...the third degree." " I'm not naked." "Why do you let her walk around here like that?" "It's the middle of the night." "She answered the door with her beaver puckered out" " like it was trying to shake my hand." " You shut your mouth!" " Did not know who you are." " That aint the point, god damn it." "I don't want Dottie looking at her own stepmothers pussy." "That's it." "I'm going to bed." "I've heard all the shit I can take tonight." "Good night." "Shit, I'm going to fucking kill you!" " Calm down!" " Sweet Dreams!" " ...kill you!" " Hear me!" "Don't let the bed bugs bite." " Enough!" "He can stay here tonight!" "I'll stay here as long as I...!" "If he stays here longer I'm liable to hurt the little bastard!" " Go to bed, night!" " Good night!" "Fucker!" "Don't die in your sleep!" " God dammed hick!" "What the fuck?" " Now I'm in the fucking dog house." " Put pants on," "I need to talk to you about something." " I need pants for that?" " So we can get out of here." " I'm not going out." " Come on, this is private stuff." "Then fucking whisper!" "I need you to put some pants on." " No." " Come on." "I need $6,000 or some guys are going to kill me." "Better get out of town, quick." " You could just give me a thousand." " I don't have it." "Hey, I could hold them off with a thousand." "Chris, I do not have it." "We would not be in this mess if it were not for Mom." "She goes and kicks me out." "You hit her, didn't you?" "God damn it NO!" "I didn't hit her, I told you." "Why she kick you out?" "I threw her up against the fridge." "She stole 2 ounces of coke from me." "That's bull shit." "Adele does not snort cocaine." "She sold it." "She gave it away to that god damn Rex, because the shits gone." "She was the only other one who knew where it was, then tonight... she comes up to the house, with the car running like a watch." "Which, the gold Cadillac?" "You're shitting me." " The piece of shit hasn't run in years." " What I'm telling you?" "So now my blow's gone, and these guys are going to kill me." "And my own mother, for Christ sake." "So?" " What?" " You going to lone me the money?" " No." " Man, I'm fucked." "I aint had $1,000 in my whole life." "How would you like to?" " How would you like to have $15,000?" " Jesus." "Now, just hear me out." "Every god dammed time." "What about the farm?" "Leave the farm out of it." "I'm talking about something way easier than that." "Some you give..." "Do you ever heat of Joe Cooper?" " No." " He's a cop." "A detective actually." "Ok." "He's got a little business on the side." "What's he do?" "He's a killer." "He kills people." "Yeh, so?" "Mom got a $50,000 life insurance policy." "Don't look at me like that." "Well, who is the... what you call it?" "Beneficiary." " Dottie." " Dottie?" " The whole thing?" "The whole 50 thousand?" " Yeh." "She didn't leave nothing to me?" "Of course not, you dip- shit." "Why would she do that?" "Ah..." "I'm her ex- husband." "She hates you Dad." "You know that." "How much something like that cost?" "Why, I hear he charges 20." "Thousand?" "Jesus." "Listen, this isn't something we can really cut corners on." "I'd say it was worth it not to get caught." "Killing Joe is a professional." "He'll do this right." "How do you know?" "Who told you about this?" "Never mind that." "I going to hire him on spec, ask him to do it for free, and then give him a cut of the insurance money." "After we pay this guy, and we clear $30,000." " 30,000." " Like four ways" " Three ways." " How you figure?" " You, me and Dottie." "What about Sharla?" "What about her?" "She gets a cut." "The hell she does." "She aint family." "She's been my wife, longer than Adele was." "It's less money." "Less money for you." "And more for you." "I am the father here." "I found her." "She's my ex- wife." "Not you, not Dottie." "OK, fine we can split it four ways." "We aint agreed to nothing, OK." "This is murder we're talking about." "I'm not just going to stand here and nod my head." "Look at it this way, is she doing anybody any good?" "What do you mean?" "Is anybody going to care if Mom is not around anymore?" "Yeh, Rex." "The son of a bitch screws anything that draws breath." " That does not mean he don't care." " He'd be tickled pink." "You should see the way she treats that poor bastard." "Probably the same way she treated me." "What's better for Dottie?" "Having $10,000 she can go to that Amazon school, or having a beat- up old, ugly, nagging, alcoholic as a mother for another 20 years or so?" " I see your point." " Exactly." "So long as Dottie never knows what we are talking about it, were really doing her a favour." "Yeh." "What are you doing here?" "Got into a fight with Mom." "You build this city all by yourself?" "Yeh." "Sure did." "Brick by brick." "I heard that, at the wedding." "Scared the shit out of me." "Sleep- talking gives me the creeps." "Yeh." "It's getting worse." "About every night." "She's not seeing anybody yet?" "Don't hold your breath." "Truth be told I think she's still a..." "You know." "What?" "Virgin?" "Let me just call him." "Let me just set up a meeting and talk to the guy." "We don't have to decide anything right now." " OK." " OK, good." "I heard you all talking about killing Momma" "I think it's a good idea." "There you go." "Murder we're talking about." "That looks hard." "Who are you?" "Joe Cooper." "Joe Cooper." "You have scared me to death." "Excuse me." "And I apologise." "I knocked on the door, but you had the TV on too loud to hear me," "So I decided to let myself in." "OK." "That looks hard, from a TV like that." "You should have a teacher." "I'm Joe Cooper." "I'm suppose to meet Chris here at 10:30." "He's not here." "I'm a little early." "He's usually late." "Can I trouble you for a cup of coffee?" "Sure." "Why don't you sit down, I'll take your jacket." "May I ask your name?" "I'm Dottie." "Hello, Dottie." "Hi." "What?" "What are you?" "I mean, what do you do?" "I'm a Detective." "Really?" "Like Magnum P.I.?" "No." "He is a Private Detective." "I'm from the Dallas Police Department." " He aint real either." " No." "I'm real." "I read it's nothing like them shows with car chases and all." "Lot of paper work." "I read that some policemen go their whole lives, without shooting their gun." "Probably true." " Have you ever drawn your gun?" " Oh sure." "You ever shot somebody?" " Yes." " Who?" "Nobody you know." "Did they die?" "Well they have, yes." "Wow." "What's the most exciting thing that's ever happened?" "I went into this house." "I heard an awful screaming coming from inside at the back." "It was pitch dark." "So I followed the sound of the scream back to a bedroom." "I didn't know what the hell to expect." "Yes." "When I opened the door, suddenly it just there's this huge, fat man" "was on top of me." " Screaming and kicked and clawing..." " Oh my God." "...and the thing was, there was nobody else even there." "And he wasn't trying to hurt me." "He wanted me to help him." "Why?" "See he, he had got into a fight with his girlfriend." "Right, she been having an affair so, in order to teach her a lesson." "That's what he said." ""Teach her a lesson"," "He doused his genitals with lighter fluid, and he set them on fire." "Can you believe that?" "It's true." "That poor, miserable bastard set his genitals on fire, just to teach his girlfriend a lesson." "I guess he showed her." "I wonder whether she ever got over it?" " Was he alright?" " No." "No, he was not alright." "He set his genitals on fire." "I had an aunt who set herself on fire once." "Yeh?" "Not on purpose though." "She was wearing this long lace dress, and she got it caught on the furness." "She died before they could put the fire out." "Really?" "They say she's the one in the family I look the most like." "Her name was Vivah." "Is that not a pretty name?" "Don't think she never got married though." "Are you going to answer it?" "It's for you." "My dad could not get away from work," "I was wondering if you could meet us at Bob's Mufflers." "Is there some place private we could talk?" "There's a Pool Hall next door out of business." "Just off Harry Hines." "Just bring Dottie, she'll show you the way." "Don't change plans on me again." "Listen, I'm really sorry." "Could you try and make a little more noise?" "Try kissing my ass." "Son of a bitch." "Are you going to kill my momma?" "I don't know." " Why?" " I was just curious." "My momma tried to kill me when I was real little." "She put a pillow over my face, because she cared more about herself than her little baby." "She did not love me like a momma should love a little baby." "And she was happy because she thought that she had done it." "Then I could not grow in to something better than she'd been, had ever been." "She hadn't done it." "She didn't sent me back to him." "She just made me sick, made me not be for a while then I was." "She was sad that I was, and I always would be." "How do you know that?" "Know what?" "That your mother tried to kill you?" "Because I remember." "This is my father Ansel." "Ansel." "Like a beer?" "No." "No, thank you." "Look," "I don't have a lot of time, so... alright, let's get right to it." "If that's alright." "First off," "Me and my father have never done nothing like this before." "We don't want to do it, but it's got to be done." "It's got nothing to do with me." "alright." "Well Sir, instead of me kicking this off maybe could you tell us..." " ...the questions you need to ask." " It's pretty simple." "You are going to pay me for a service that I am going to perform." "You are going to give me the particulars of her schedule, her habits." "I'll act on them accordingly." "I'll not give you many details on my activities, because the less you know the better for everyone involved." "alright." "Now I've only a couple of rules that I insist on sticking to." " Insist." " Ok, yeh." "If you are caught, if your are implicated in this crime, you are not under any circumstances to reveal my identity or participation." "Oh, of course." "If you break this rule, you will be killed." "Do you understand?" " I ..." " I have to be absolutely clear, on this point." "I understand." "Do you understand?" "Yeh." "The payment is $25,000 in cash, in advance." "No exceptions." " 25?" " Yes Sir." " I thought you said 20." " I was told 20." "25." "Is that a problem?" "We don't have a problem with 25." "That's not our problem." "What is your problem?" "We have a problem with the advance." " No exceptions." " Sir, let me explain." "One of the reasons we're interested in having this done, is my mother holds a very large insurance policy." "They usually do." "We thought if we could guarantee payment, after the policy had been covered..." "This isn't really open for discussion." " The conversation is finished." " Please, this is..." "What did you think this was, eh?" "Let's make a deal?" "This is a serious business you're fucking here with, boy." " I am aware of that." " No, I don't think you are." "I don't take you seriously." "This is going to get done, one way or another." "Our conversation is finished." "I've never met you." "You never met me." "Of course, we never discussed the possibility of a retainer." "What do you mean?" "You know how to reach me." "Call me if she is interested." "Hey man you talking about my sister?" "Is that who she is?" "Jesus." "What's he means "retainer"?" "What you think he means?" "He means Dottie." "But retain what, exactly?" "Just how stupid are you?" "Are you really that stupid?" " Watch your fucking mouth!" " What are we going to do, Dad?" "We got to think of something." " We could kill herself!" " Are you going to kill someone?" "You can't even tell time!" "What do you suggest smart- ass?" "We could forget about the whole thing." "Or we could give him Dottie." "Might just do her some good." "Don't be silly, nobody is going to ever see him." "What are you so worried about anyway?" "It's not like you can see your face in any of them." "Personal call?" "Two large Pepperoni pizzas please." "The Photo Shop behind the mall." "You worry too much." "Just some pimpley faced little girl who never seen one before in her life." "A little big anyway." "What time you going to pick me up?" "8:30, what do you expect me to do until then?" "Hold on, Jenny." "Get some money so I can fix supper?" "Jenny, I got to call you after my shift." "I can't, I have to..." "Yeah." "Yeah, me too." "What you fixing for supper tonight?" " Just some casserole." " You going to make a salad?" "Why don't I give you a few extra dollars and get yourself a new dress." " We're having a guest for supper." " Do we have to dress up?" "I'm just saying you will look real pretty in a dress." "Was it your boyfriend on the phone?" "What do you mean?" "That was not your boyfriend?" " I am married, silly." " I won't tell Daddy." "I do not know what you're talking about." "It was Jenny, an old friend from High School." "Here you go." "I said, no black olives." "A Pizza Supreme, no black olives." "I'm taking my break." " Eat." " Is he cute?" "Stop to talk like that." "You should have a cute boyfriend." "I had a boyfriend in the third grade." "I never told nobody." "His name was Marshall and he was fat." "He loved me." "You'd have to go out more often." "No ever knew we were going together." "We didn't see each other at recess, we didn't sit together at lunch." "We never write notes, and he did not walk me home from school." "When did you see him?" "In the class at school." "I mean, alone." "We didn't seen each other alone." " Never?" " That would have spoilt the secret." "How did you know you were going together, if you never spent any time alone?" "We just knew." "If we had talked about it it wouldn't have been what it was." " Which was true." " What was true?" "Love, we loved each other." "How do you it was love, when you never talked about it?" "Because he loved me with pure love." "Well, not many like that around then I guess." "It's Joe isn't it?" "Joe's coming over." "Joe who?" "I do not remember." "His eyes hurt." "What?" "You met him?" "What's he like?" "He told me I should get a teacher for my kung fu." "Yeah?" "And he had me make him some coffee." " What's he like?" " I don't really know." "Hey, Ansel." "You know, you just forget about Jenny." "She's an old friend." "and I don't need any trouble from your Dad over an old friend, you hear?" "At least you have a cute boyfriend." "Hey, you all talking about me?" " your ears must have been burning." " No Sir." "I just telling Dottie here, how pretty she would look in a new dress." "Yes, I'll ride you over to the thrifty, and maybe we'll pick you up something pretty, alright." "Is everything OK here?" "Yes, we all getting dressed up." "Hay, can I get some money?" "We're out of beer." "My purse is downstairs." "When are you going to tell that girl, it's just going to be her and Joe?" " She will figure it out." " You got to tell her." "That girl's not like other people." "God damn it, she can't put two and two together like you, me and Chris." "What are you so worried about?" "She's never been on a date before." " It aint a date." " Well it's the closest thing she will ever come to one." "Except some fat kid, that didn't even know it." "What fat kid?" "You talk to that girl, or you're liable to blow this whole thing real good." " What am I suppose to say?" " Tell her the story for god's sake." "Why do you have to make everything so difficult?" " What story?" " The situation." "Tell her why Joe coming over tonight." " How am I suppose to get to that?" " If she don't not know what's expected of her, she might disappoint him." "I'm riding her over to the Thrifty aint I?" "What about my beer money?" "Sharla." "What fat kid?" "Hopefully you'll have a spare..." "Daddy?" "Daddy." "Hey, hey look at you." "You look like a god dammed movie star." "Turn around." "Turn around." "Yeh, just like a god dammed movie star." "I feel funny." "No, don't say that." "You look beautiful." "My butt is too big." "Well, let me let you in to a little secret," " guys like big butts." " They do not." "I'm speaking from experience." "Sharla does not have a big butt." "Well, give her some time." "Why aren't you dressed yet?" "'Cause I'll not be staying for supper." "What you mean?" "Chris and I have some business to attend to." "Where's Chris?" "So it's just going to be you and Joe for supper." " I should change." " No." " No honey." " Yeh, I should." "Dottie, it would be nice for Joe if he saw you look pretty." " Yes, I will..." " Listen honey, Dottie!" " Settle down." " Let go of me, I have to change!" " Dottie, wait a second!" " I have to change!" "I have to change!" "Dottie, don't close that fucking door on me!" "I have to change!" "God damn it!" "Hold still, you little bitch." " What the hell is going on here?" " What are you thinking!" "What the hell is going on?" " She wants to take off her dress." " So?" "Do not you think, she looked nice?" "She should change if she wants." "You put on whatever you like." " Don't you think she looks nice?" " Let her change, Dad!" "Let her change!" " Wait a god damn second." " Hey." "Let her change." "Change." "What are you doing here?" "We're on our way out." " We discussed it." " Don't push it, we're leaving." "That's right, junior." "Don't push it." "When we make arrangements" "I expect the details to have some attention paid to them." "Let's go, Dad." "Do you understand?" "Yeh." "Good boy." "Where is she?" "She's changing." "Too bad he didn't see Sharla first." "He could have dated her, I wouldn't have minded so much." "That's my wife you're talking about, fuck- head." "Yeh, right." "Dottie?" "It's me, Joe Cooper." "We're alone now." "If you don't want to come out, that's OK." "You can stay in there as long as you like." "The casserole smells nice." "I wish I had a funny story about first dates, or casseroles, but I don't." "Maybe one will come to me." "Maybe not." "Hazelwood." "Okie from Muskogee." "I don't have a funny story about Lee Hazlewood either." "Or Oklahoma." "Guess Oklahoma is kind of funny anyway though." "I grew up looking at Oklahoma." "From the south bank of the Red River." "When I was a boy, the border between Texas and Oklahoma was actually the middle of the river." "If you have fished the north bank, you caught Okie- fish." "I caught Texas fish." "Sometime since then we gave our half of the river away." "Now the whole damn thing belongs to Oklahoma." "The south bank." "That's the border now." "I'm not quite sure, why we did that." "But it makes me mad." "It's kind of like giving away your front porch." " How are you?" " Fine." "You want to know how I am?" "How are you?" "I'm fine." "Thank you." "You look nice." "Thank you." "I changed." "I did not know that it just going to be you and me for dinner." "Someone should have told you." "They did, just now." "What you change from?" "A dress." "I'd love to see it." "Your eyes hurt." "Beg your pardon?" "Dottie, you trust me?" "Not quite." "Good." "Lovely." "I'm a virgin." "I know." " Hey, Tuna casserole." " Yes." " May I Serve?" " Please." "Thank you." "I'd really like to see that dress." "It was not the right." "May I see it anyway?" "How you going to kill my momma?" "That's not appropriate dinner conversation, Dottie." "Unless you poison her." "You be a detective in this State?" "Probably not." "Sometimes." "Is that a problem?" "That's convenience." "So are homes." "Yes." "I love my brother." "I remember when Mama and Daddy were getting a divorce." "She just told us, she was drunk." "She said, "I don't love your Daddy anymore"." ""I never loved him"." "I screamed something that didn't make any sense." "Ran out of the house to the front yard." "Chris came out." "He didn't say anything." "He just laid on top of me." "He stretched his body out like this." "He laid on top of me until I stopped crying." "Dottie." "We never talked about it, ever." "Bring the dress." " Now?" " Yes." "Why would you not ware that for me?" "It's not me." "Not when you're not in it." " I once had a boyfriend..." " Put it on." "alright." "Where are you going?" " I was going to put on the dress." " I said, put on it." "I was." "Here." "I want to see you put it on." "Stop." "Take off your socks." "Take off your brazier." "Take off your underwear." "Handcuffs." "Put on the dress." "Come here." "Right behind me." "Put your hands on my pants." "Do you feel that?" "Yes." "What does it feel like?" "I don't remember." "How old are you now?" "12." "So do I." "Switch places with me." "Your friend?" " Marshall." " Marshall." "He was fat." "His love for me was pure love." "It was our secret." "Nobody." "Come on!" "1000 on the Nose, on 5 the eighth at Lone Star." ""On My Mind" there is sixth." "Then Mango, Cliff of Rick's Cafe and way way back there, Bella Luna." "Just under a half mile to go, as they come into the far turn." "Betty Boo leads a nose on the outside." "Yes I Can..." "There are still Tilt a Whirl with a tenuous lead." "Legal Tender and Endearing Manners strikes to the front just outside the eights pole." "Come on, five." "Cavalier is coming down hard in the centre of the track, and Daddy Mike is good." "Come on five." "Come on 5!" "Shit." "...Endearing Manner comes on down..." " ...and takes the lead..." " He held back!" " He has held back!" " In a spectacular finish  has Endearing done the impossible!" "That's a ratio of 17 to 1 for Lone Star today." "I'm damn well fucked!" " Hey." " Time's up brother." "You asked for an extra week three weeks ago, brother." " You told me you had a plan." " No listen, I called you." " I called you, like 11 o'clock." " Is that the plan?" "Come on, G" " Man." "Yes, the money is coming to you, by about..." "Son of a bitch!" "You little bastard!" "Where are you going?" "Piece of shit!" "Here we go!" "Here we go!" "Chris." "Hi Digger." "How you been boy?" "Pretty good, how about yourself?" "Fair to middling." "High blood pressure." "You taking medicine?" "Yes, all of that, no salt, low stress." "But Amy keeps making that fried chicken." "I can not resist it." "How is Amy?" "Well, she's all busted up right at the moment" "You remember Dumpling, that old blue- tit we had?" "Yeh sure, Dumpling." "Well, we had to put him to sleep yesterday morning." " No." " Yes." "Well, you missed yourself one hell of a party, a couple of weeks ago." "Sorry I missed your birthday." "Well, well I'm glad you missed my birthday." "I just wished you hadn't missed the party." "How many people did we have at the place, G" " Man?" "A couple of hundred." "Oh hell it wasn't that many." "150 anyway." " Oh no shit." "I'm sorry that I missed it." "Yeh a good old party." "lots of barbeque." "G" " Man has played the accordion." "Right." "Wasn't there that girl out there?" " What girl?" "The one that's always sniffing around Chris's shit here." "What's the hell her name, the one with the great big caboose on her?" " Arlene?" " Arlene." "Yes, Arlene." "You better look out for her, boy." "She may be too much woman for you." "Well she, she better stay away from barbecuers, or she be too much woman to fit through the doors." "Damn, you make me laugh." "Hey listen, I'm just going to have the boys here kick the shit out of you." "You'd better pay me my money in the next couple of days," "I'll wrap you up in electrician tape and bury you in a coffin about 10 feet deep." "I'll tell Amy you asked about her." "That will make her smile!" "He really likes you." " Stay down!" " I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!" " Easy, easy." " Oh my god what's happened?" "Chris shit, you look rough, boy." "Them old boys caught up to you?" "Dad..." "I think they broke my hand!" " What did they do to your face?" " Excuse me." " Do you want go to the hospital?" " I think he deserves this shit." " What happened to you?" " I got beat up!" "Will you get a wet rag?" "Who put the fucking boot to you, or what?" "That bastard Digger Soames?" "They did all they are going to?" "If they wanted to kill him, he'd be dead." " Your nose is broken." " That all?" "What did they say to you?" "What the fuck you think they said?" " I reckon they want their money." " No shit!" "Hey, you want a beer?" "Where they find you?" "In the Sport of Kings." "Did you see Bill there?" "I don't know, why?" "He owes me ten bucks." "I'm going to bed." "Come on Ansel." "Let's go to the hospital." "No, he's fine." "He just got a whooping." " Ansel!" "Come on!" " alright then." "I guess we're going to turn in." "Dottie, go on." "Good night Chris." "I want to know what kind of progress you're making." "It's being taken care of." "Yeh right." "Even fucking my sister, and my mother is a hell of a lot healthier than me at the moment." "You want me off the job?" "Say the word." "When you planning on doing it?" "Tonight." "Really?" "So you be leaving tomorrow then?" "The retainer is for the money." "I'm not leaving till I get the money." "I don't like that." "Well I don't care." "I don't want you near my sister." "I don't care." "And if I tell you the deal's off?" "Then I leave right now, and you will never see me again." "Your call." "Who you into for this money?" "I won't tell you." "Digger Soames?" "How do you know that?" "What he say he'll do to you if you don't pay him." "You know that to?" "He'll do it." "Are not you supposed to arrest people that commit murder?" "I like Digger." "Do it." " Mr. Tim." " Hey Joe." "Joe, Joe." "Thank God." "I was afraid I wouldn't get here, thank God." "Listen, we got to stop this, right?" "I've been in a lot of trouble all my life, but I've never done nothing like this before." "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to waste your time." "I mean I hated that bitch, always hated her."

"Put that in the trunk and shut it." "Give me some light." " I was watching that Chris." " Listen..." " I was watching the show." " I know." " I wanted to see how it turned out!" " They don't catch the bird, OK." " It just goes on, and on, and on." " Yeh." "Honey." "I know, you know what's going on, OK." "I don't going to explain it to you."

" I aint never been to a trial." "Did you see the shot in the paper?" "Her car?" "Joe knows what he's doing alright?" "There couldn't do no autopsy, because there wasn't much left to speak of." " How did it go?" " Let's just get out." " The little son of a bitch." " What's the matter?" "I'm not talking in front of Dottie." "She knows what's going on." " I'm not talking in front of her." " What happened with Filpatrick?" "I aint talking in front of Dottie!" "They not going to pay you the money, are they?" " Dad?" " Ansel calm down." " Dad?" " Ansel!" "Do not make a scene!" "Who told you about Adele's policy?" "Rex!" "Rex told me." "He mentioned it in conversation." "Will you for the love of God..." "When?" " In conversation." " Not how, when?" "A few weeks ago." "Me and Mom just had a big fight." " Oh Christ." " I told you Ansel." " What happened?" " I told you from the start." " Shut Up!" " Don't tell me to Shut Up!" " I'm not the one they blew this thing." " What happened Dad?" "You come to our place and tell everyone what to do." "How we're all going to see 1,000 grand!" "Damn it, tell me right now." "Dottie is not the beneficiary." "Rex is the beneficiary!" " I don't understand." " Is not real tough." " Explain it to me." "Dottie does not get the money." " Rex gets the money." " Wait." "Dottie Does Not Get $50,000, boy!" "Rex!" "Rex!" "Rex gets the $50,000!" " That's not right." " That's the way it is." " Go talk to Filpatrick yourself!" " I was told!" "Because, because he told me!" "Rex told me, he told me!" "Rex was momma's boyfriend." "Just shut up, Dottie!" "He told me!" " He was lying." " Why would he do that?" " Why do you think?" "No, no." "He couldn't have know that I would do this." "Who told you about Killer Joe?" "Oh, Oh God." " I told you, did I tell you?" " Yes." "Oh my God, I'm fucked." "He's a fucking fuck suck- case!" "I don't believe you God." "You better believe it!" "Because the sooner you believe it, the sooner you'll figure a way, to pay Killer Joe his money!" " We got to get going." " Not to mention Digger Soames." " We got to get going you all." " For why?" "Funeral's in a half hour." "You all get going." "I got to think of something." "I wish you would." "We're all so much better off whenever you do!" "Where is Joe?" "He's coming back, isn't he?" "Yeh." " And he's a coming back alright." " He's coming back alright." "Let's hit it, we got to get your mother in the ground." " I'll take Dottie." " Dottie!" "Yeh, we'll be along." "Miss Smith, you're done fumigating the gates of hell." "Hey, Chris." "Why don't you do us all do a big favour?" "Just go kill yourself." "Do you feel bad?" "Yeh." "Feels like a maybe I'm not suppose to be on earth or something." "You remember them shows you used to put on with your knees?" "You be lying in bed, you get a flashlight and put your knees up, and put a pair of sunglasses on one knee." "and some kind of hat on the other?" "Yeh." "Put on a little show." ""The greatest show on earth" what you called it." "Yeh?" "In to time and forever from now on." "No more ventures or time- outs or kings exes, everlasting one more time that you could say, in to infinity and outer space." "Amen." "Nothing worse than regret."

"In South America." " How we going get there?" " We'll drive." "We can drive." " Chris..." " Do you like Texas?" "These people talk about it like it's such a great place and all." "But it's just a bunch of god damn hicks and red necks, with too much space to walk around in!" " It's warm." " Let's go." "Let's just go." " Now." " To the funeral?" "Hey, if we're going to pull this off, we got to gas- up." " I have to see Joe." " No, Dottie." "I have to see him." "We have to go to Peru now!" "Then you go by yourself, because I have to see Joe!" "I'll make you a deal." "Go to the funeral, and you can see Joe after." "No funny stuff, promise." "Do you swear?" "I swear." "You can't tell Joe, that we're going to Peru, OK?" "You can't tell him goodbye, not outright." "Okie- dokie." "And you can't tell Dad and Sharla either, because they're mad at me right now and they might try and spoil our trip." "I understand." "You excited?" "You want to go?" "I'm always excited." "We can do this, we can pull this off." "Not if someone makes me mad." "Rex did not even bother to show up, son of a bitch."

"You set that on the table please?" "Thank you." "Funerals make people hungry for some reason." "I'm starving." " You here about the insurance?" " Sharla." " Yes, I did." " I don't know what to say." "You don't have nothing to say anything." "It's not your fault." " Yes, but..." " Chris." "That Chris is so stupid I could've told you he'll fuck this up." " Why didn't you?" " Why didn't I?" "It's just an expression, really." "What is?" "What she said that she could have told you that Chris would fuck it up." "I never heard of that expression." " It's a manner of speaking, really." " I have never liked that little bastard." "You haven't?" "Just no good You just can't trust him." " You've never really hit it off." " All he cares about is himself" " That's not fair." " Bullshit fair." "It's true." "It's really the only thing anybody cares about if you think about it." " No wonder." " No wonder what?" "No wonder Chris would up the way he did." " What the fuck did I do?" " Just shut up." "How stupid do you have to be to let an idiot like Rex take advantage?" " Rex?" " Yes, Rex." " What about Rex?" " I said, how stupid do you have to be to let an idiot like Rex..." " ...to take advantage?" " Yes, I heard." " Tell me about Rex." " Rex is Adele's boyfriend." "Was." "Was Adele's boyfriend." "Tell me about Rex." " What do you want to know?" " Not you." " You." " What?" "You." "Tell me about Rex." "What do you mean?" "You know the man don't you?" "You have met." " Yes, of course." " Tell me about him." "I do not know what you mean." "Is he tall, is he's fat, is he is a Chinese?" "Where does he work, how old is he." "Does his ears hang low?" "Is he unlike other men?" "Tell me... about Rex." "Rex is..." "I don't get this, really." "Who told you about our arrangement?" "What arrangement?" "The contract between myself and this family." " Ansel." " Why?" "Well, she's my wife, Joe." " I wasn't addressing you, Sir." " OK." " Why did he tell you?" " Because I'm his wife, like he said." "were you going to get a cut of this money?" " Sure." " Why?" "Because I am his wife, like he said." "Did you advise Ansel against the idea?" "No." "Why?" "You could have told him Chris would fuck it up." "It's not my business." "But it is, isn't it?" "Well it is your business?" "What you getting at?" "If you're going to share in the money, then it is your business, isn't it?" "Yeh, I don't know." "And yet you did not advise Ansel, your husband, against it." "Listen, I wanted some of that money, alright?" "I mean if, if Chris could pull this off..." "You wouldn't split Ansel's share were you?" "The four of you going to split it evenly." "We didn't discuss that." " I'm sure you did." "You're a practical woman." "Well, I assumed that I would take a forth." "Not one half of one third." " No a forth, four way." " Instead of one- sixth." "One- sixth." "No, four ways." "So the remainder of the money would be split evenly after I'd been paid my fee." " $25,000." " Right, right, right." " Yes, right after you were covered." " which means equal shares." "What would those four equal shares come out to?" " I haven't done the maths." " Then do it with me." "Right now." "The insurance policy gets covered." "The agent Filpatrick, cuts Ansel a cheque." "Dottie, that would be Dottie." "In the best of all possible worlds, Dottie." "I do not know why we're doing all this." "We're not going to be seeing any of that money!" "Just watch my feed here, alright?" " Ansel gets the check." " Dottie." " Dottie." " If the check is for 100, we pay you 25." " How much?" " 25." "But how much is the policy for?" "However much." "How much?" " 50,000" " That much." " 50 Minus your 25" " Yes, my minus 25," "But you said 100, didn't you?" "Yes, however much, minus your money." "But you said 100." " Yes, how much ever." " The cheque is for 100." " However much." " But you said 100." "However much, minus your 25." "She's mistaken, Joe." "It's 50." "Alright?" "Is it?" "Yeh." "Fuck, come on!" "Isn't?" "No." "Wait a minute!" "In case of accidental death the figure is double." "Right Filpatrick told us that this morning, didn't he Ansel?" " No." " Yeh, I think he did." "Ansel." "Did he?" " No." " I think he did." "So." " ...so it's not 50." " No." "It's 100" " Like I say, however much." " However much." " What you getting at?" " What do you mean?" " I made a mistake alright?" " Yes you did." "I said 50 or 100 however much." "You all have to do this now?" "You said you never cared for Chris." "I haven't, I don't." "You also said Rex is an idiot." "Yeah, right." "You also said the check was for 100." "Or however much!" " I was just wondering..." " What are you getting at?" "Oh, fuck." "Whose dick is this?" "Where did you get those?" "This is not Ansel's dick." "Is that your dick, Ansel?" "No." "Yes it is darling, you were drunk." "What about that one?" "No." "That one?" "Make sure now, you might have been drunk." "No." "Whose dick is it?" "You just stop that." " That must be your boyfriend." " Please!" " Your boyfriend Rex." " Please stop." "That idiot." "The one who getting all that money." " I didn't know!" "All 100 grand." "Just stop it, I didn't know anything about this I swear." "Were you aware of this, Ansel?" " I'm never aware." " Of course not." "Who this?" "You son of a bitch!" "No need for name calling, I haven't called you any names." "I am a guest here." "You be polite." "Now." "Whose little dickie?" "And do not lie to me." "Lie to me, and it will be the last lie you ever tell." " Rex." " Rex." " It's Rex?" " Who?" " Rex!" " Correct." "Ansel, please!" "Ansel is not inclined to assist you at this point of time." "Are you Ansel?" "No, I'm not." "In fact Ansel's doing just fine standing over there." "Yes Sir." "That's what I thought." " Let go of me you mother fucker!" " What I said about insulting me?" "We'll give you the money, I swear it." "We give you as much as you want!" "I'm afraid that's impossible." "No, but it's not." "Rex picked up the settlement this afternoon." "What?" "He gave it to me before he left." "100 grand." "God almighty." "Where did he go?" "Worthless, of course." "It's made out to Rex." "Where did he say he was going?" " He was unavailable for comment." " I don't understand." "Why didn't you get him to..." "I can." "I can get him..." "Looks like you need a new boyfriend." "I'll be your boyfriend, just for a little while." "Stay down." "Stay down." "Look at me." "Suck this." "Go fuck yourself!" "If you insult me again," "I cut your face off and wear it over my own." "Do you understand?" "Ansel!" "You made your bed." "That's right." "Now lye on it." "Now suck it!" "Please." "Do you want me to wear your face?" "Now suck it." "Easy." "Easy." "Oh yeh." "Oh yeh, here we go." "Alright." "Hey." "Hey!" "What you think?" "I don't!" "Now listen carefully both of you." "I performed a service for this family." "And I deserve my payment, in full." "Because of a misunderstanding with the insurance." "I will not receive any cash from my services." "This is unfair." "I don't care to hear excuses or placement of the blame." "I hold you all equally responsible." "Reach around and grab my ass." "Reach around and grab my ass." "There you go, grab it." "I was fortunate however in thinking ahead." "I secured a retainer for my services." "Since I fulfilled my obligation, and since cash is not forthcoming, that retainer is now mine." "It belongs to me, and I am taking it with me when I leave." "You're very good at this." "Please moan." "Chris does not agree with the concept of the retainer." "He is coming here tonight to attempt to take it with him." "I can't allow him to do that." "This family can't allow him to do that!" "We have to go." "It's degrading me." "I can't be round anymore." "Do you understand me?" "I'll slaughter all of you!" "If the family is allowed Chris to leave this trailer," "I slaughter all of you like pigs." "Do you believe I do that?" "I'm asking for your help." "Will you give it to me?" "Ansel?" "Yes, Sir." "You're a very beautiful woman." "Don't you think so Ansel?" "I haven't given it much thought." "No!" "Wrong answer!" "She is a very beautiful woman." "And that's sweet." "Don't you think so?" "Gently." "So, now." "I want you to tidy up the kitchen." " OK." "And you're going to set the table for a proper meal." "OK?" "Take the chair." "We're all going to sit down," " for dinner." " OK." "Just the four of us." "Understand?" "Look at me." "Just the family." "Take that chair." "How you doing guy?" " Where did you get those pictures?" " It's hardly important." "I guess." "All she did was just sucked his dick and try to steal your money." "It could have been worse." "How?" "Well." "No, I suppose it's as bad as it gets." "Listen." "Go spend some time with your wife." "Sharla." "Yes?" "Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine Ansel." "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm sure." "OK." "Shut up, T" " Bone!" "Hey, son." " Dottie here?" " She's in the bedroom." "Thank God, I'm starving." "Did you hear from Joe?" "He's in his bedroom." "You've eaten already?" "Hi Chris." "Junior." "You're home." "Hello, Joe." "I've heard of the money." "I've got to tell you that I'm all broke up things didn't work out." " Yeah, me too." " It's the way the world turns, right?" "It's the way the cookie crumbles?" "Yes OK." ""Caveat emptor", you know what I mean?" "Shall we dine?" "For you." "It smells heavenly." "Chris, Ansel, are you hungry for some K fry C?" " I am not that hungry." " You should join us, Ansel." "All of us." "Chris, have a seat right here." "There we go." "As it should be." "There we are." "Sharla, have a seat." "Thank you." "This is lovely." "Who would like say grace?" "Dottie?" "Would you do the honours?" "Dear Jesus, We thank you for the food." "Thank you that we are all together and safe." "Sorry, that mom is dead." "We hope you give her a place to stay in heaven." "Please forgive us for anything we did wrong." "We would all like a place to stay in heaven too." "In our Lord's name and Jesus Christ, we say "Amen."" "Amen." "That was beautiful." "Thank you." "Let's eat." "Sharla, will you grab us some drinks and the young Chris a plate please?" "White and dark?" " Yes, please." "Ansel get us that potato salad stuff, will you?" "And tomato salad." " Potato salad." " And potato Salad." "Iced tea." "Is that homemade Sharla?" " Just a scoop for me." " Yes." "Can I have some potato salad on there please?" "You start with that, we'll get you some more later," " if you like." " Perfect." "Can I start now?" " Yes, you may." "Sharla white or dark?" " Doesn't matter." "Want some potato salad?" "Yes, please." " Sharla, potato salad?" " No thanks." " Sharla, your mascara running." " Fuck you." "Everybody." "I have an announce to make." "You probably all noticed, that Dottie and I have been spending a awful lot of time together." "The fact is, we've fallen in love." "So it's my privilege to tell you that I asked her to be my bride." "And she has accepted." " Haven't you my dear?" " Yes." " I for one would like to say..." " Shut up." "A toast." "To my future wife." "When all this suppose to take place?" "Well, were leaving right after this delicious meal." "Is that right?" "Yes." "You can't have my sister, Joe." "What do you mean, Chris?" "I mean, I can't let it happen." "You're not going to marry my sister." " I don't think it's up to you." " Shut up." " Don't tell me to shut...." " Don't say another word old man, and I will rip off your head of your shoulders." "Now Chris," "I can certainly understand your love for your sister." "But you got to cut the old apron strings sometimes." "I'm not going to discuss it." "She is my sister." "I taking her with me." "We're leaving here." "Maybe we should let Dottie decide." "Dottie does not have a say in the matter." " Oh, I believe she does." " You believe wrong." "Dottie, get your stuff." "Dottie stay seated." "Dottie." "Stay seated." "Dottie." "Dottie, sit down." "Dottie." "Dottie, go get your stuff now." " Dottie." " Dottie." "Dottie." "That a girl." "Dottie!" "She's my retainer." "Deals off, you're going to have to eat this one." " You know, I'll kill you." " Go fuck yourself." "Take to your seat, Joe." " Dottie, go get your stuff!" " Dottie, stay where you are..." " ...this will end just fine." " Dottie!" "Go get your stuff!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" " Kill him, Joe!" " Stop it!" "Joe!" "Yes!" "Stop it, Joe!" "Kill him!" "Kill him, Joe!" "I got it, Joe!" " Stop it, Joe!" " Your killing him!" " Kill him!" " Oh!" "God!" "Oh God!" " Kill him!" " Oh, God!" "I get angry!" "Dottie." "Jesus!" "Dottie!" "Dottie!" "Dottie!" " Easy." " Not, Dottie, Dottie!"
