"Julie, what are you doing here?" "Just watching the light changing." "You sleeping', baby?" "Only 'cause you don't - 'cause you don't take care of me." "Or want me." "Or want to make any kind of commitment to me." "I'm finished with you, Zack." "I'm completely finished with you." "Why don't you just go find yourself some other little girl to be your pet?" "That shouldn't be too difficult for you." "I've had it with you and your fuckin' stupid radio shows." "This is really fuckin' boring!" "Okay." "Okay." "We're not gonna talk about that right now." "Look at you, Zack." "Look what you're doing to yourself." "You're digging your own grave." "Why can't you just stay at one station a while?" "Why do you always gotta go fuck up your own future, huh?" "What are you so afraid of, Zack?" "Yeah, well, that's right, Laurette." "We can't live in the present forever." "Shit." "Okay, look, um " "Maybe you should just go back to New York or Detroit or Baltimore." "You said you liked it there, remember?" "Go back to one of them stations where you used to work... and ask them to give you a second chance." "There's nothing wrong with asking somebody for somethin'." "Why is that always so fuckin' hard for you?" "You're a good deejay, Zack." "All you got to do is learn to jerk people off a little." "That's all they really want, you know." "Well, I never jerk people off, and you fuckin' know it, Laurette." "Okay." "Okay, fine." "Forget it." "I'm not talkin' to you anymore, Zack." "Okay?" "I'm not talkin' to you anymore... because you don't want to fuckin' be here." "And I'm not gonna let you play with me anymore!" "I hate you." "You're so damn stubborn and stupid." "And I hate you." "I hate you." "And I'm an idiot for being with you." "You got me embarrassed on my own time." "You got no fuckin' future, Zack, especially not with me." "Not the shoes." "Not the shoes." " Not the shoes." " No?" "Come on, hit me, motherfucker!" "Hit me!" "Hit me!" "I guess it's over between us, Laurette." "You know, Jack, we could get some money together." "Except you always blowing' it." "You know, gambling', gettin' high, showing' off." "I have to have fun, you know, baby?" "Yeah, yeah, I know." "You always makin' big, big plans for tomorrow." "You wanna know why?" "'Cause you always fuckin' up today." "Look at what happened to that white girl Julie that you started out with." "She is a mess now." "All the girls you got are so messed up, except me." "I could tell you a lot of things about yourself you never even thought about." "Never even entered your hatchet-shaped head." "But, you know, you never can be too sure." "My mama used to say that America is a big melting' pot." "Because she used to say when you bring it to a boil... all the scum rises to the top." "So maybe there's hope for you yet, Jack." "You listenin' to me?" "Shit." "You don't understand any kind of people." "Maybe that's your problem." "You sure don't understand women at all." "And a pimp is at least supposed to understand women." "If you was a good pimp, you would have hit me by now or done somethin'." "But I can just lay here and talk forever... and you won't hear a single word... like you don't even speak English." "Lost inside all them plans you got." "But I know about you, Jack." "Jack." "You sure can talk, can't you, baby?" " Yes?" " Hey, Jack." "It's me, Gig." "Ah, what do you want?" "Man, I don't owe you anything." "Man, I got something I know you gonna be interested in, Jack." "I doubt that very much." " You busy?" " Yes." " I just want to come up and talk to you, Jack." " Uh-huh." " I wanna prove to you that I'm on your side, man." " Uh-huh." " Don't you got just five minutes to talk?" " No, I don't." " Come on, Jack." " Just come up and make it short, all right?" " I'm on my way up." " Yeah." "Fatso's on his way up here." "Cover up the merchandise." "Just take this, in case he's gotten any smarter lately, all right?" "Hi, Jack." "Where you at?" "Hi, babe." "She nice." "Jack, I know how you feel about me... after what happened down in Jefferson Parish... with that spy boy, and I don't blame you one bit." "But you too serious." "You gotta let the past be the past, Jack." "I come here tonight to settle us up." "Now how you gonna be doin' that, fathead?" "By doin' you a favor - a really big favor." "I'm as serious as cancer." "Man, whatever this is, I know it's bullshit." "Jack, I have been tryin' to find a way to straighten us out... and I finally come up with it." "Please, let bygones be bygones." "Man, I can see why you might wanna be on my good side." "You wanna do me a favor 'cause you know - you know I'm gonna be big... and you wanna be in on it." "All right, it's no secret." "I know where you're headed." "But just hear me out, see my little gift... and then, if you're not interested, let me know." "What's the gift?" "Oh, man, you gonna die." "I have got a piece of chicken you ain't even gonna believe is from this planet." " No, that I might believe." " Oh, Jack, be serious, man." "This girl is 19." "A beautiful white girl." "A Cajun goddess, man." "A Cajun goddess." "I got her up at the Belle Chasse Hotel right now." "And she's waiting there for you, Jack." "My gift to you." "The most beautifulest gift that I could possibly give you." "I mean, I can't believe you think I'm gonna fall for this." "Hey, go over there, check it out." "If I'm crazy or lying', you don't lose nothin'." "Matter of fact, I just wanted to give you first shot at her... before she all used up, because she is gorgeous, man." "Then why don't you want her, man?" "Why don't you give her to one of your so-called real friends... one of those assholes down on Decatur Street, huh?" "Because I've been trying to make us be friends again." "Can't you just accept that?" "All right." "And I suppose you haven't even touched her, right?" "All right, I'll go look at your martian goddess." "But I'm telling you something." "If you're foolin' with me... if you're wastin' my time, if anythin', I'm gonna fuck you up." "I guarantee it." "Jack, nobody's gonna regret anything', especially not you." "In fact, you're gonna thank me for this." "You're gonna remember me for the rest of your life for this." "Yeah?" "Okay." " You makin' any money, baby?" " Ain't nothin' happenin'." " Pretty thing like you?" "Why not?" " I don't know." " All right." "Check you out later." " All right, Jack." "Hey, L.C. What's happenin'?" "Hey, Jack." "Good to see you." "Out kinda early this evenin', huh?" " Yeah." "I got some things to check out." " How's the ladies treating' you?" " Ow." " Well, you know, Jack, how that goes." "If you get enough of it, do like a crawfish." "Back on out of it." " I'll see you, L.C." " All right." "Take care, Jack." " Hey, Julie." "How's it goin'?" " All right." "Hang in there now." "I heard you're lookin' for someone to take care of you." "Now what you want is someone who's gonna treat you like a lady." "I don't know if you've been on the streets here or not, but they can be very serious." "These guys " "I mean, chances are you're gonna find somebody who's gonna get you strung out... 'cause he's strung out, and then he's gonna own you." "Some guy's gonna cut you, hurt you." "With me, you're gonna be makin' money." "You're gonna have jewelry." "Whatever you want." "Check it out." "I got the right connects." "My thing is organized." "You work with me, I'm gonna take care of you." "Don't shoot me!" "Don't " " Where you at, Jack?" " Mandino, what are you doin'?" "Man, I'm here with my girlfriend." "This is ridiculous, man." "What are you tryin' to pull on me?" "Jack." "Jack, Jack." "You're a sick son of a bitch." " Is that your girlfriend?" " Man, you know I'm not into this kinda" " Ow!" "Get this son of a bitch out of here." "Get this pervert out of here!" "Shit." "Okay, Rich." "I'll take care of the kid." "It's okay, darlin'." "Everything's all right." "It's all over now." "Look, we're just gonna - we're gonna sit here for a little while... and then you're gonna - you're gonna come with me." "Now, I don't want you to worry about anything, understand?" "Don't worry about a thing, because I'm gonna take care of you." "Is a sad and beautiful world." "Huh?" "Yeah, it's a sad and beautiful world, pal." "That's a good one." "Ah, buzz off, pal." "Ah!" "Thank you." "Buzz off a to you too." "No, buzz off." " Ah, buzz off." "Ah, buzz off." " Buzz off."

"Oh, uh, it's a pleasure." "Thank you." "Zack." "My man." "What the fuck you doin' out here in the garbage?" "Just leave me alone, Preston." "I'm in a bad mood." "Well, then I'm just the man you've been lookin' for." "In fact, I been lookin' for you." " That's a bad sign." " Now, Zack, baby." "I got somethin' real good for you." "An hour's work for a whole lot of scratch." " I ain't interested, man." " Man, you are in a bad mood." "You ain't even let me propose this shit to you." "Just listen to me for one minute, will ya?" "One minute of your, uh, valuable time." "Just fuck off, Preston." "All I want to do is pay you a grand... in exchange for a single hour of your very, very valuable time." "Now this ain't no breaking and entering or small-time chump change." "No delivery of controlled substances." "None of that stuff." "This is just to drive a car from one part of town to the other, alone." "That's it." "Well, what kind of car would that be, Preston?" "That would be a very nice car." "A very nice, very expensive imported car... which just happens to be between owners at the present time." "Oh, I see." "Just in between owners." "Look, all you got to do, man, is drive the car across town... park it, leave it." "And, look, I'm gonna give you half up front and half later." "The whole thing's over in an hour." "Very safe, very clean." "And believe me, I could get a million guys to do this for me." "Well, then, why don't you do it yourself?" "I'm offering a grand so I don't have to answer stupid questions like that." "Well, I might consider a grand up front." "Then I might think about it." "Jesus Christ." "Zack, you are in a nasty mood." "Now, just to make you cheer up a little bit..." "I'll give you 750 in front, okay?" "Shit." "All right, all right, Mr. Almighty Hot Shit." "Look, I'm gonna do you this favor." "Oh, man." "AJaguar, huh?" "Look, man, I'm gonna give you the whole thing, up front." "And you gonna owe me one." "Zack, you can buy yourself 20 girls for all of that." "Yeah, sure, man." "Motherfucker." "All right, baby." "You got it." "How you doin', baby?" "All right." "Shit." "Well, I ain't goin' back to Detroit, and that's for damn sure." "Shit." "You can bet your ass I'm a good deejay." "Shit."

"I'm gonna step inside... and inside it's bigger than you could possibly imagine it from the outside." "And there's gonna be beautiful girls in there - four of 'em - and they're all gonna be naked." "And one of 'em's gonna offer me some coke." "But I'm gonna just say no." "I'm gonna just be enjoying the luxury of the car and the girls." "And the door's gonna close... and it's just gonna go "click."" "And there's gonna be music playin'." "It's like music I never heard before." "And then the car's gonna start up... and it's gonna drive slowly towards the city, very slowly." "It's gonna be beautiful, man." "Yes." " You're such an asshole." " What?" " You're an asshole."

"Watch out, I cannot swim." "Be careful!" "Well, which way now?" "Man, haven't we been here before?" "Seems like we passed this fork hours ago." "Man, it all looks the same to me." "I really can't tell." "We've been goin' around in circles, Jack." "Ragazzi!" "Ragazzi!" "The boat!" "The boat!" "The boat is finished." " There's water in the boat." " Bail!" "Bail!" " Go in the land!" "Go in the land!" " Move your leg." " No!" " Move your leg." "Well, I don't know which way to go now." " What do you think, Jack?" " How the fuck should I know?" "Yeah, well, whatever you say, Jack." "Hey, where is he?" " What?" " Where's Bob?" "I don't know, man." "He said something about food." " Maybe the alligators got him." " Hey, man, don't say that." "You know, we could starve to death out here." "Ah, nah." "This swamp can't go on forever, man." " We'll find something." " Man, he's leading us the wrong way." "Who, Bob?" "He ain't leading us." "Hey, man, you don't seem to think I see what's going on." "You're leadin' us around in circles." "I'm not blind to this." "You're fuckin' us up." " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah." "That's right, man." "We're just gonna tire you out... then we're gonna move in for the kill." "Then we're gonna have Jack Romano for dinner." " Yeah, is that right, you fuckin' idiot, man?" " Yeah, you son of a " "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on, man." "Come on." "Stop!" "Stop, my friends!" "Stop the fight!" "Stop!" "My friends, stop!" "Stop." "I have catched the rabbit... dinner." "For dinner." "Huh?" "Fuck, man." "I'm goin' off by myself." "I'm better off alone." "Fuck." " It's all right with me, man." " A rabbit." "Very difficult to catch rabbit." " Every man for himself." " Zack!" "Jack!" "I run half an hour for this rabbit." "Very cunning rabbit." "Well, it's 46 degrees." "Yeah." "Slight breeze... blowing through some of our cypress trees... that are blending in with a lot of the smaller fir trees in the area." "Yeah." "Vegetation, well..." "I'd say offhand dates back to the Mesozoic period... the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley... the cradle of civilization." "Guy's a fuckin' asshole, man." "Shit." "I'm fuckin' starvin' to death." "Man, my thing was cool, boy, you know." "I had my things goin', you know." "My last walk out was like, "Hey, L.C., how you doin', man?"" "Oh." "I'm sorry, baby." "I didn't know it was gonna be like that, man." "Jack, Zack?" "Zack, Jack?" "Jack?" "Why do you leave me alone?" "There is a very good - very good rabbit." "I know a very good way to cook it." "My-My mother teached me." "My mother, Isolina." "The name of my mother." "With rosmarino - rosmarino, olive oil, garlic... and other secrets of the Isolina." "We're waiting right now for... a check on our general barometric pressure." "Then it's back to more music with the Lee Baby Simms Show." "Man." "Didn't I tell that creep, "She's not fuckin' available."" "Right?" "Shut up!" "Before, she is very kind with the rabbit." "She call the rabbit, "Good rabbit." "I like this little rabbit." "The eyes of the ra"" " Ta!" "Suddenly, the rabbit dead." "Very strange mother, my mother." "Very strange, yes." "My father, no." "He's very strong, but with the rabbit he is afraid." "My sister" " I have one mother and three sisters." "Bruna, Albertina, e Anna." "I had a picture of my mother in my room... smiling with the rabbit in her hand and the other, so" " Ha, ta." "Sometime I-I dream of my mother that call me..." ""Robertino, vieni qua." "Robertino, come on."" ""No, I don't want." "Come on." "Come on."" "Ta!" "Una botta in my neck." ""I am not rabbit." "Yes, you are."" "My mother." "Very strange mother." "But I love my mother." "Isolina, and my father, Gigi, and my sisters Bruna, Albertina, e Anna." "My family and my rabbit." "And I love to catch, to dream." "My mo " "What is?" "What?" "Zack!" "Heh." "Jack!" "Jack and Zack!" "I knew!" "Come on." "Come on." "To eat the animal I have catched." "The rabbit." "I run half an hour behind it." "Very good." "Come on." "Jack, come on." "Sit down." "I am glad." "Sit down, the fire." "Yes." "Yes, taste it." "Yes, taste it." "Taste, Zack, taste." "Eh?" "Taste." "In a moment." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Huh?" "Of course, I haven't garlic, rosmarino - very important - and olive oil, but is good, eh?" " It's disgusting, Bob." " Yes." " Bob, it tastes like a tire." " Yeah." "I know, is very good." "The road!" "Ah, civilization." "Well, which way now, Jack?" "Well, I say we go that way." " I agree." " Aye, aye, Lieutenant." "It's a mirage." "You think we're imagining this?" "Well, if we are..." "I could use some imaginary pie and coffee." "One of us should go in there alone, in case the law is inside." "All right, Bob." "I want you to go in there first." "Make sure everything's safe." "If everything's all right, you come back out and tell us." " You understand me?" " I understand." "I "ham" ready." "Okay." "Hey, Bob, we'll be right here." " Right here waiting." " Yes." "Jesus, he walked right in there like an idiot." " Let's hide over here." " Yeah." "Hey." "How long was I asleep?" "Let's check it out." "I'm starving to death." "And I'm freezing." "All right?" "All right." "Let's move slow." "Just look in the window." " I'll be right behind you." " Oh, thanks." "Holy Toledo." "Can you believe this?" "He's from outer space." "Oh!" "My friends!" "Uh, what the hell's goin' on here, Bob?" "Come on." "Come on." "Is wonderful." "Look!" "Wine, food." "Come on." "Come on." "Sit down, please." "Sit down here, Jack, Zack." "Sit down." "Sit down." "Is wonderful." "Look, huh?" "My friends." "I must tell us some news." "I "ham" in love." "This is Nicoletta." " Hi." " Hello." " How you doing?" " Fine, thank you." "Eat, please." " Mm-hmm." " Take." "Eat." " She is from Italy too." " Yes." "Yes, I'm from Italy." " Do you know, I'm from Cesena?" " Cesena." " You know Cesena?" " No." "No?" "And, uh, this place was given to me as a present from my Uncle Luigi." "What happened to your Uncle Luigi?" "He died." "You laugh." "He died." "What was he like?" "He was wonderful." "Yes." "He won this place playing cards, and he was afraid to lose it again... so he gave me like a present." " Uh-huh." " But I didn't know what to do with this." "And one day - it was a very particular day - like out of the blue, my boyfriend left me." " Aw." " Yes." "It was my birthday." " Aw." " Yes." "And Uncle Luigi died." " Oh, no." " All in the same day." "So in the same day, I left Italy and I come to live here." " You know?" " Yes." "Yes." "Yes." "And now I have falled in love, at last." "Ah?" "I have finded my new home." "She has asked to me if I stay here... to live together with her forever and ever." " Like in a book for children." " Yes." "No." "Well, how did you learn how to speak English?" "Oh, yes." "I speak pretty well... but I know nothing about English for restaurant." "Like food, good plate, nice dish - these word I don't know." "Well, Bob should come in handy there." "He speaks good restaurant English." " Yes." " Yes, my killer." "Mmm." "Mmm!" "Well, that's just great, Bob." "Yeah, congratulations." " Do you know where we are?" " Louisiana." " No, I know Louisiana, but " " Yes." "Near the border of Texas." "Ah!" "You see?" "Texas." "I knew this, eh?" "Texas near." "Remember?" " Well, I propose a toast." " Yes, thank you." "To Bob and Nicoletta." " Oh, my friends." " Thank you." "Thank you." "Ah." "Ah, you look good in my Uncle Luigi clothes." " Oh-ho." " Oh, thank you." "Thank you." "Great." "Say, uh, you don't have a car or anything, do you?" "Car, no." "But I will save to buy one and learn to drive." " I've only my bicycle." " Ah." "But there's a man who brings things I need from town once a week or so." " Good morning." " Good morning." " More Uncle Luigi clothes." " Yes." "Very sporty, Jack." "So, but you are sure you must leave today?" "Why we cannot stay here for some times first?" "Well, it's too dangerous out there, Bob." "There's probably an A.P.B. Out on all of us." "Nah, I'm sure we're gonna make it." "Well, we're gonna have to keep going." "At least now we know where we are." "And where do you go now?" " I'll probably head out west." " Hmm." "Out to Los Angeles." "And you, my friend, Jack?" "Where do you go?" "Well, if he's going to L.A., I'm gonna go east." "You know what I mean?" " Yes." " Yes." "Some music, yeah?" "You're sure you must leave today?" "I stay." "If you follow this road... you will come to a place where it becomes two roads." "On the right will go east." "On the left will go west." "Uh, no." "On the right will go west." "Uh, no." "I'm not sure." "Anyway, there is a sign to tell you." " It's all right." "We'll figure it out." " It's okay?" "Thanks for everything." " Yeah." "Thank you." "Good-bye." " Good-bye." " Zack." " And, uh, take care." " Yeah." " Okay, Bob." " I will." " Bye." " Good-bye, Bob." " Jack." "Bye." " Be careful." " Okay." "Don't forget to write." " Bye." " So long." "Wish you were here." " Well, I guess this is it." " Yeah." "I don't see the sign around or anything." "Well, she said the one to the right goes west." "She said she didn't know." "Look, man, don't matter to me." "You go whichever way you want, right?" "And I'll go the other way." " Yeah, right." " All right?" "Fine." "So, uh... this is how you dressed before you were in the joint, right?" "Sort of garbageman on parade." "Huh." "You, uh, planning' on doin' a little squirrel huntin', Jack?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Well " "Good luck with yourself..." "Zack."
