"A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE" "So, we keep heading' east?" "Yeah, that's the idea." "Stay out of the big cities?" "Uh-huh." "I think I'm tired." "Yeah." "Me, too." "Here." "Bring it on up to the office." "I'm going to go check us out." "All right." "What took you so long?" "Nothing." "I had a little trouble with the maid... but everything's fine now." "Damn." "8:00." "It's already this hot." "Yep." "How are we fixed for water?" "Probably not enough." "Yeah." "There's a cooler in the back in the office." "Hey." "Shh." "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Sarah, honey, what's wrong?" "Huh?" "What is it, sweetie?" "Hmm?" " Daddy." " Yeah?" " Daddy." " Daddy's here." " Daddy's here." " There were monsters." "No, sweetie." "There's no such thing as monsters." "You were just having a bad dream." "What's wrong, Dad?" "Hi, kiddo." "Sarah's just having a bad dream." "Oh." "I saw monsters, Jack." "Monsters?" "What kind?" "I don't know." "They came out of my closet... and then they were in the shadows." "Mmm, shadow monsters." "Well, they look pretty scary... but they really can't do anything... especially when the lights are on." "They're scared of the light." "What happened, baby?" " You OK?" " I'm OK." "Sarah had a bad dream about monsters." " Oh." " And I was telling her... that there's no such thing as monsters." "Oh." "I'm going to turn on my night light just in case." "That sounds like a brilliant solution." "Mmm." " Hey, Jack?" " Hey, Mom?" "Morning." "Morning, baby." "Hey, hon, the pick up still won't start." "You mind dropping me off on the way in?" "Sure." " Did you feed Burrow?" " Yeah, I fed him." "All right." "Good." "The night light worked, didn't it?" "I got it, Dad." "What do you got going today, Jack?" "Uh, nothing much." "A math test in a few days... and I think we're playing baseball in gym class today... so I can look forward to sucking hard in right field." "Well, just remember... don't let the hitter get the ball over your head..." "Unless it's out of the park." "Well, yeah." "Bye." "I get off early today." "All I have... is the Watsons-Willard Day bride's tractor sale." "You want me to pick you up?" "Yeah." "Then we can go to the drive-in and make out tonight." "There hasn't been a drive-in here... since the early seventies, but..." "I love you." "I love you." " Have a good one." " You, too." " Morning." " Derek." " Hey, Tom." " Morning, Joseph." "That's wild." " Hey, Tom." " Morning, Pat." " Hey, Mick." " Tom." "Charles is going to be a little late this morning." " Is he drunk again?" " Yeah, I guess." "Hey, who's the craziest woman you ever dated?" "Me?" "Yeah." "Mick and me, we were talking... about some of the girls we went with." " Uh-huh." " He once dated a girl... who used to attack him in the middle of the night." " She what?" " Yeah." "She used to have these crazy goddamn dreams... where instead of her boyfriend..." "I was some kind of demented killer." "I woke up one night, she stuck a goddamn fork in my shoulder." " You're kidding me." " No." "I'm spurting blood." "She's sitting there crying... going, "Baby, I love you, I love you."" "So, what happened?" "You broke up with her, right?" "No, I married her." "Hey, it lasted six years." "Nobody's perfect, Tom." "I guess not." "Strike this guy out." "We got 'em." "Let's go." " Yeah." " Yeah." "Two out." "One winning run coming right up, boys." " Go, Bobby!" " Whoo!" "It's all right, Billy." "Look alive, look alive." "Yeah!" "Ball." "Yeah, that's it." "He's got nothing." "He's got nothing." "Let's go, let's go." "One more." "Come on, now." "Come on, Bobby." "Yeah." "He's yours, he's yours." " Oh!" " Whoo!" " Whoo!" " Easy, Jack." "Come on, Jack." "Don't drop it, Jack!" " That's yours." "Come on." " Jinx, Jackie boy!" " Oh!" " Oh!" "Game over!" "Yellows win." "Let's go, guys." "Taylor, Dietrich, you're on equipment." "Let's go." "Guys, come on." "Let's go." " Good try, Bobby." " You was robbed, Bobby." "Everyone hit the showers." " Awesome." " Nice." "Good job." "Guess you think you're hot shit, huh, Stall?" "What?" "No, I don't." "Little hero here, huh?" "Little superstar here." "Little hero saves the day at the last minute, right?" "Bobby, it's just a game, OK?" "It's just stupid gym class." "Who you calling stupid?" "Ahem." "No, I said gym class was stupid." ""No, I said gym class was..." Listen to this little faggot." "Yeah." "You're right." "I'm both little and a faggot." "You got me dead to rights." "Come on, chickenshit, let's do this." "What would be the point?" "I mean, you win." "You win, you win." "You've established your alpha male standing." "You've established my unworthiness." "But doing violence to me just seems... ahem... pointless and cruel, don't you think?" "Let's do this, you punk bitch." "Shouldn't that be little punk ass chickenshit faggot bitch?" "Chickenshit faggot bitch." "Uh-oh." "God!" "Bobby is a chickenshit." "Hey, good looking." "Where are we going?" "Well, Jack's studying over at Judy Danvers'... and Martha's taking care of Sarah." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "So, where are we going?" "We never got to be teenagers together." "Uh-huh." "I'm going to fix that." "What's going on in there?" "Keep your shirt on." "I'm coming." "Holy cow." "What?" "Do you need some help with that, big boy?" "Uh... maybe." "Oh, my God." "What have you done with my wife?" "Ready?" "OK!" "Go, Wildcats!" "No wives in here, mister." "Mmm." " Wow." " Shh." "Quiet." "My parents are in the next room." "Mmm." "You're naughty." "What are you doing?" "Nothing." "You are such a bad boy." "Mm-hmm." "Rah, rah, sis, boom, bah." "Oh." "There wasn't much of that in high school." "Ah..." "Mmm." " Uhh." " Mmm." "What is it?" "Huh?" "I remember the moment I knew you were in love with me." "I saw it in your eyes." "I can still see it." "Of course you can." "I still love you." "I'm the luckiest son of a bitch alive." "You are the best man I've ever known." "There's no luck involved." "You want to go down and get some food or something?" "You ever wonder what kids did for fun... on a Saturday night a hundred years ago?" "I don't know." "I guess I always figured... they got into their parents' wagon... and went cruising up and down their main drag... playing loud banjo music and acting like idiots." "So, you think this is as good as it gets?" "For us?" "Yeah." "For now." "Eventually, we... we grow up, we get jobs, we have affairs... and we become alcoholics." "Ahem." "You know, sometimes... you depress me." "Hey, that's what I'm good at." "Give me that." "Hey, isn't that that Stall faggot?" "Yeah." "You should go kick his ass." "I'm going to." "Who the fuck was that?" "I don't know, and I don't want to know." "Can I just say how sick I am of these podunk towns... and the goddamn podunks who live in 'em?" "Do you think if you keep saying that... it's actually going to change anything?" "I am so sick of this shit." "Yeah, you made that clear about ten thousand miles ago." "Now, if you haven't got a better idea..." "I don't want to hear about it anymore." "We are so goddamned broke." "Yeah, well... that's easy to fix." "No way." " Come on." " Mm-mmm." "Are you going to go shoot pool with Jerry?" "Maybe." "Thanks, Tom." "Thanks, Mick... good as ever." "There you go." "See you in church." "Yep." "Have a good evening." "You, too." "See you tonight, Charlotte." "Yeah." "See you." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Aw, it's all right, old fella." "Just closing up, fellas." "Coffee, black." "The same." "I'll have some pie..." "some of that lemon meringue pie." "Guys, guys, I'm sorry." "I'm..." "We're closed." "I said... coffee!" "OK." "I guess we can handle that." "It's not very fresh." "You can go home now, Charlotte." "Just leave the pie." "OK." "Billy..." "You're going to be sticking around for a while, honey." "Tom?" "Don't fuckin' move." "Sir, we don't... we don't carry much cash here." "You gentlemen are certainly welcome to all of it." "Oh, I know that, asshole, believe me." "I do know that." " Aah!" " Shut up, bitch!" "OK, Billy... let's show this asshole we mean business." "What?" "Her?" "Yes, her." "Do her!" "Aah!" "Uhh." " Aah!" " Uhh." "Unh." "I'm telling you, those men were..." "They were going to kill us." "They were going to kill us, and if it weren't for Tom..." "He's a hero." "...in conjunction with several murders in those states." "Now, Tom Stall is a family man... with longstanding ties to this community." "Tom Stall was just another hard-working... small business owner and operator... in Millbrook, Indiana, but now..." "Um, one of the guys had a... a gun to my head... and Tom..." "He was amazing." "He..." "Hi, baby." " Hey, honey." " How you doing?" "How are you?" "Uhh." "Are you as sick of hearing about me as I am?" "No, I kind of like it." "Look." "Your picture's in the paper." "Oh, God." "Careful." " Hi, guys." " Mom." "Can I..." "Can I get up now?" " You got it, Dad?" " Yeah." " Way to go, Tommy." " We're all here for you, Tom." "Way to go, Tom." " Hi, sweetie." " Oh, that's so nice." "Thank you so much for coming." "We're in Millbrook, just outside the home... of American hero Tom Stall... who's just now returning from the hospital with his family." "Mr. Stall, Jenny Wyatt, WRPK news." "I have a few questions for you." "How did it feel... when you saw the guns of those ruthless killers... pointed directly at you?" " How did it feel?" " Yeah." "Not very good." "Not very good." "Were you surprised, though... by your own reaction to the situation?" "Uh... what I did was..." "I mean, anybody would have done that." "It was just..." "It was a terrible thing." "I think we'll all be better off when we get past it." "Yeah, but you really went beyond what the average..." "I..." "I need to..." "I really need to be with my family." "Thanks." "I'm Jenny Wyatt in Millbrook, and that was Tom Stall..." "American hero, man of few words." "Well, I guess that's all we're going to get." "Man, it's good to be home." "I hope there won't be too much more of that." "Hey, Dad, they all just want to interview you... because of what you did." "You're a hero, Dad." "Ha ha!" "No, I'm not." "I just got lucky... very lucky." "This will all blow over... as soon as they find some other hot story." "Yeah." "Maybe the Lydons will have another two-headed cow." "You guys aren't thinking big enough." "You could probably do Larry King Live, Dad." " That would be cool." " Oh, you stop it." "Stop it." "Look at this... more reporters." "Are they still there?" "Yeah." "Now there's some car parked across the road." " They're just sitting there." " Huh." " Does anyone want some tea?" " I'll take some, Mom." "Yes, please." "Unh." "Aw, jeez." "Hey, Edie." "Hi." "How are you?" " Did you go to the shop?" " Yes, sir." "Hello." "Hey, Bill." " Hi, honey." " Hi, baby." "How are you?" "Oh, I'm all right." "What brings you by?" "I just wanted to see how you were doing." "Doing good." "Business is great." "Just can't keep up." "Yeah, it's busy." "Oh, look, more reporters." "Nice." "They don't look like reporters." "Grilled cheese is ready." "Got fries and a strawberry shake." "Hello." "Welcome to Stall's." "Would you gentlemen like some coffee?" "You're the hero." "Uh, I don't know, sir." "I was just..." "Nah, you're the big hero." "You sure took care of those two bad men." "I really don't like talking about it, sir." "We're trying to get back to normal here." "So, can I offer you gentlemen some coffee?" "Sure." "Give me some coffee." "Make it black..." " Yes, sir." " Joey." "And... and your friends?" "They don't drink coffee." "It doesn't agree with them..." "Joey." " Who's Joey?" " You are." " My name's Tom, sir." " Of course it is." "Mmm." "That's good coffee." "Thank you, sir." "If I were to find coffee as good in Philadelphia... but you know that, don't you, Tom?" "Heh." "No, actually, I don't." "I've never been to Philadelphia." "Pennsylvania?" "Is that where you gentlemen are from?" "Yeah, like you don't know." "Sorry." "Did..." "Did we know each other?" "You tell me." "No." "We don't know each other." "Come on, Joey." "Cut the crap." "My name is Tom." "Joey Cusack." "Your name is Joey Cusack." "You're from Philly." " Mm-hmm." "OK." "Whatever." " Uh-huh." "Excuse me, gentlemen, if you're not going to order anything... my husband and I would appreciate it... if you would be on your way." "We ate on the road." "It's all right." "It's OK." "We really are very busy here today, as you can see." "Um, so if you gentlemen aren't going to be eating..." "I really should offer your seats to paying customers." "Hmm." "Well... now we're paying customers." "I can't take this." "It shouldn't be any problem for you." "What is that supposed to mean?" "Mr. Fogarty's just making conversation here." "Well, whatever you want to call it... this conversation is over." "I think he wants us to leave, Mr. Fogarty." "Do you know what he does... when he don't like people, Mr. Fogarty?" "Yeah." "I'm scared." "We should leave before he goes all Dirty Harry on us." "I want to thank you for the coffee, Joey." "It really is very good." "It's Tom." "My name's Tom Stall." "Excuse me." "What are you doing?" "Who are you calling?" "Hi..." "Hi, Molly." "This is Edie Stall." "Is he in?" "I'm fine, thanks." "You're calling Sam?" "Yes." "Is there a problem with my driving, officer?" "Can I see your license, sir?" "Sure." "I thought I was under the limit." "Is there some problem I should know about?" "What's your business in Millbrook, sir?" "We're tourists." "And what business did you have at Stall's Diner today?" "We heard the coffee was terrific." "Let me make something clear to you and to Mr. Mulligan." "Uh-huh?" "This is a nice town." "We have nice people here." "We take care of our nice people." " Do you understand me?" " Yeah, sure." "Don't let me see you around again." "You keep up the good work, officer." "Charles Roarke, Philadelphia." "Indicted on three counts of murder." "Frank Mulligan, out of New York... indicted on one count of murder." "Questioned in relation to dozens of acts of violence... that you don't want to hear about." "Both men work for Carl Fogarty." "He's the fella with the eye." "He spent fifteen years in prison on several counts of assault." "He's suspected in half a dozen murders... and more disappearances." "Tom, these guys are organized crime from the east coast." "Now, they're the real thing." "They're bad men." "Jesus." "Jesus, honey." "I have to ask you a question." "Are you in some kind of witness protection plan?" " Sam." " Some kind of what?" "This is no laughing matter, Edie." "Of course he's not, Sam." "I'd just like to hear Tom say that." "OK." "No." "No, I'm not in a witness program." "Those men just have the wrong guy." "They must've seen me on TV, and I guess, uh..." "I reminded them of this Johnny guy." " Joey." " J-Joey somebody." "I mean, good lord." "The idea of me..." "I never honestly believed it, but I had to ask." "I've done some research on this, uh, Joey Cusack." "I didn't find anything." "But there is a Richie Cusack in Philadelphia." "Apparently, he's the head... of some kind of crime syndicate in that city." "Men like this come to our town and start harassing a citizen... we have to take them seriously." "Sure." "All right." "So, if you folks see them coming around... you let me know." "Will do." "I'm sorry, Sam." "Do you want a piece of pie or something?" "Ah, no, thanks, Edie." "I'd love to, but I've gotta get back to work." "Thank you." "Thanks for coming." "Uh, Sam?" "Thank you." "It's good to know you're watching out for us." "Come on, Tom." "You know we look out for our own here." " Good night." " Good night." "See ya." "Thanks." "Huh." "Don't worry." "They're as good as gone." "Sorry." "Sorry." "It's over and done with." "OK." "Honey." "Can you get that, hon?" "Come on, come on!" "Hello?" "The shotgun, Edie!" "Get the shotgun!" "Tom, Tom..." "Tom, what's wrong?" "They're coming to the house!" "Who's coming to the house?" "Just grab it!" "Do it and be ready!" "OK, stop." "Are you serious?" "I'll be there as soon as I can." "Shit." "Come on." "Oh, shit." "Oh, come on." "Come on." "Edie!" "Oh." "Ohh, fuck." "Tom!" "Tom." "Tom, what's going on?" " I..." " Huh?" "I..." "I don't know, baby." "Jesus." "What's going on?" "I don't..." "I don't know." "Ohh." "Let me call Sam, all right?" " No, don't." " OK." "I..." "I don't even know..." "I..." "I don't know why I thought..." "I..." "Mom?" "It's OK, baby." "Yeah." "Uh... ha ha." "I..." "I..." "I..." "I think I'm losing my mind." "No, no, no." "OK." "You're not losing your mind." "You've been through some serious trauma, all right?" "I'm here for you, baby." "We're all here for you." "It's all right." "It's gonna be OK." "Mom?" "You haven't forgotten about my new shoes, have you?" "Gosh, no." "It's my top priority for the day." "How could I forget?" "You all right?" "Yeah, yeah." "Hi..." "Hi, sweetie." "Honey, just get ready for school." "I'll speak to you afterwards, all right?" "OK." "Come on." "Let's go shopping." "Hey." "Careful." "It's loaded." "Why was Mom running around the house with that?" "What's going on, Dad?" "False alarm." "Nothing to worry about." "I am worried." "You're sweating." "You're soaked, Dad." "What kind of false alarm?" "What did you mean, you think you..." "You think you're losing your mind?" "Some mob guys showed up at the diner." "They saw me on TV, and they came by to take a look at me." "Yeah." "Yeah, I heard about that." "Uh, so..." "They thought they knew me." "They thought..." "I was somebody else." "Heh." "That's weird." "Yeah." "Weird." "And I guess, um..." "Well, I guess... they don't like this guy they think you are." "Apparently not." "And, um, and I guess I..." "I guess..." "I guess they want... to kill this guy they think you are?" "See, that's... that's the losing my mind part." "I mean, I have no reason to think that." "It's just I was down at work, and, you know... suddenly I thought maybe... maybe... they'd come looking around." "You know?" "And, uh..." "And then you came running back here to save us?" "Yeah, something silly like that." "I'm sorry." "What if you're right?" "Then we deal with it." "OK." "Now, look what I just found." "It's my last pair in this style, and it's exactly your size." "Just try these on." "They should fit like a dream." "How do they feel?" "Good." "Yeah, I think I like them." "I have a pair of these myself." "They look great and they really last." "Really?" "OK." "I'll take them." "And I needed a pair for her as well." "Sarah?" "Sarah?" " Uh, ma'am?" "The shoes..." " I have to find my daughter." "I can't let you leave the store with the shoes." "OK, OK, OK." "Sarah!" "Sarah?" "Sarah?" "Sarah." "Sarah." "Don't ever do that again, OK?" "I'm sorry, Mommy." "But look." "They have the new Vespa dolls." "Nothin' to worry about, Mrs. Stall." "I've been watching over her." "You stay the fuck away from my family, you son of a bitch." "There's no need for that kind of language, Mrs. Stall." "Listen to me." "I don't know what you want... and I don't really care." "You should care about what I want, Mrs. Stall... because I want something from your husband... that might affect you, might change your life." "My husband does not know you." "He wouldn't know you, somebody like you." "Oh, he knows Carl Fogarty, all right." "He knows me intimately." "See?" "This isn't a completely dead eye." "It still works a bit." "The problem is, the only thing I can see with it... is Joey Cusack." "And it can see right through him." "Right through your husband, Edie." "See what's inside him, what makes him tick." "He's still the same guy." " No." " He's still crazy fuckin' Joey." "And you know it, don't you?" "I know that my husband is Tom Stall." "That's what I know." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "Well, why don't you ask Tom about his older brother Richie?" "He doesn't..." "Ask Tom about how he tried to rip my eye out with barbed wire." "And ask him, Edie... how come he's so good at killing people?" "If I see you within five hundred feet of me... or my children or my husband, I'll have you arrested." "Heh heh heh heh." "Can I possibly make myself any clearer than that?" "No, no, Mrs. Stall, you can't." "I thank you for your time." "You have an enchanting daughter." "And, Mrs. Stall... don't forget your shoes." "Heh heh heh heh." "So, how's your dad?" "I don't know." "A little weird." "Well, after what he went through?" "I mean, actually killing someone?" "I mean, that's enough to freak anybody out." "Yeah." "I guess." "So, your old man's some kind of tough guy, huh?" "What's he think of his wimp son?" "You think he'd take this shit?" "You think he'd make jokes?" "Go on, bitch." "Say something funny." "Bobby, leave him alone." "Shut up, skank." "Uh-oh." "He's gettin' mad." "Jack, let's just get out of here, OK?" "Jack, he's an asshole." "You know that." "He doesn't mean shit." "Let's just go." "Let's just get out of here, OK?" "Yeah, puss." "Run away." "Goddamn, I bet your daddy would be real ashamed by you." "Go ahead, bitch." "Say something funny." "Make me laugh." " Uhh!" " Ohh!" "Uhh!" "OK, you motherfucker!" "Get over there, you son of a bitch!" "Ohh!" "Come here." "Are you laughin'?" "Are you laughin' now... you motherfucking cocksucking piece of shit?" "What the hell were you thinking?" " I wasn't thinking." " Obviously not." "Bobby's been riding me all year, Dad." "He's a jerk." "He's a jerk?" "Yeah." "He's a jerk." "That's no excuse." "You stand up to him." "You don't put him in the hospital!" "Oh, big deal." "It's the best thing anyone could've done to him." "Besides, I only got suspended." "It Is a big deal!" "His parents say they might sue us." "There could be assault charges." "We can't afford that, Jack." "We don't have that kind of money." "Oh, what?" "Mom's not gonna take the case?" " Oh, whatever, Dad..." " Listen, smart mouth!" "In this family, we do not solve our problems by hitting people!" "No, in this family, we shoot them!" "Ah!" "Jack." "Honey, have you seen Jack?" "What?" "What's wrong, baby?" "Fogarty and his men followed us to the mall." "He what?" "Call Sam." "Should..." "Should we call Sam?" "We should call..." "I already took care of it, honey." "I already took care of it." "Went down to the courthouse... got a restraining order." "A lot of good that'll do." "Well, it's something." "At least we could have him arrested... if he ever comes around here again." "You're right." "But I have to tell you something." "What?" "This man Fogarty really believes... that you're this Joey Cusack." "I mean, the things that he told me this afternoon..." " What things?" " Things." "Just bullshit." "But he's, uh, he's sure that it's you." "And we have to convince him that it's not." "Well, I don't think he's interested in examining my DNA." "Get off our property." "We'll go, Joey." "We just want you to come with us." "Come back to Philly, see some people." "I told you, I have never been to Philadelphia." "Heh." "You almost believe your own crap, don't you?" "You know, you're trying so hard to be this other guy." "It's painful to watch." " Charlie." " Hey." "Look what we found." "Come on." "Yeah?" "Ha ha ha." " Mom!" " Jack!" " No!" "Edie!" "Edie!" " Mom!" " Edie!" "No!" "No!" " Jack!" "Let go, you son of a bitch!" "Come here." "Wait." "Mom." "Don't make us hurt the kid, Joey." "We just want you to come for a little trip with us... down Memory Lane." "Put the popgun down." "Come over and talk to us." "Baby, wait." "Edie..." "I will get him." "I'll get him." "Please." "Go up to Sarah." "Go up to her." "Do it." "Put the gun down." "Put it down, Joey." "Come closer." "A little further." "Come on." "Go back to the house, Jack." "Go on." "You see how cozy it can be when you decide to play nice?" "Now, come on, Joey." "Get in the car." "You won't need your toothbrush." "We'll take care of everything." "I think it'd be better if you'd just leave now." "Joey." "Come on, Joey, let's go." "Ahh!" " Uhh!" " Uhh!" "Uhh!" "Ohh!" "Ohh!" "Uhh!" "Tom!" "Fuck." "Mommy, what's wrong?" "It's OK." "You got anything to say before I blow your brains out... you miserable prick?" "I should've killed you back in Philly." "Yeah, Joey." "You should have." "Uhh!" "Uhh." "Edie." "Honey, are you OK?" "Tell me the truth." "The truth?" "Please." "You can do that, can't you?" "You can do that, can't you?" "Please?" "What do you think you heard?" "It's not what I heard." "It's what I saw." "I saw Joey." "I saw you turn into Joey right before my eyes." "I saw a killer..." "the one Fogarty warned me about." "You did kill men back in Philly, didn't you?" "Did you do it for money... or did you do it because you enjoyed it?" "Joey did, both." "I didn't..." "Tom Stall didn't." "Oh, God." "Oh, my God." "Oh, God, it's really happening." "Oh." "What are you, like, some multiple personality schizoid?" "It's like flipping a switch back and forth for you?" "I never expected to see Joey again." "Oh, yeah." "Joey." "What, was he in hiding?" "Was he dead?" "I thought he was." "I thought I killed Joey Cusack." "I went out to the desert, and I killed him." "Oh, my God." "I spent three years becoming Tom Stall." "Edie, you have to know this." "I wasn't really born again until I met you." "I was nothing." "I don't believe you." "I can't believe this is happening." "I can't believe this is happening." "I can't believe this is fucking happening!" "You didn't grow up in Portland." "And you never talk about your adopted parents... because you don't have any!" "And our name." "Jesus Christ, my name." "Jack's name." "Sarah's name?" "Stall?" "Tom Stall?" "Did you just make that up?" "Where did that name come from?" "I mean... it was available." "Yeah." "I guess I was available, too." "Hey, Jack." "What am I supposed to call you now?" "You're supposed to call me Dad." "That's what I am... your dad." "Are you really?" "So, you're some kind of closet mobster dad?" "I mean, if I go rob Millikan's Drug Store... will you ground me if I don't give you a piece of the action?" "What, Dad?" "You tell me." "Please, son." "Don't." "If I talk to Sam about you, will you have me whacked?" "Jack." "Tom?" "Hey, Sam." "How are you doing?" "Good to see you up and around." " Yeah." " You had her runnin' yet?" "Yeah, for a second there." "She's coming back to life." "Ah, shit." "Tom..." "I got a problem." "Want to come inside for a minute?" "I've been running through it all for the last couple days." "It just doesn't fit." "What doesn't fit?" "None of it." "Is that Edie coming home?" "Yeah." "Well, we don't have to do this now." "Might as well." "Hi, Sam." "Edie." "How you doing?" "I'm OK." "You want some coffee?" "No, I'm good." "So, what brings you out here?" "Well, Tom and I were just talking about that." "Mmm." "I'd like to hear it." "Well, it's just that... none of this makes any sense." "Mmm." "These are serious secretive men." "I mean, they wouldn't have come out here... they wouldn't have gone through all this... exposed themselves like this... unless they were dead certain they had the right man." "So, what are you saying, Sam?" "I'm saying I think I need to hear the truth." "The truth?" "The truth." "Sam, you've got too much time on your hands." "I'm sorry?" "Tom is..." "Tom is who he says he is." "That's all that really matters." "Sam, hasn't this family suffered enough?" "Well... goddamn." "Edie." "It's OK." "I guess I'll be going." "You folks give me a ring if you need anything." "Anything at all, understand?" "Thanks." "You..." "Edie." "Edie!" " Get off of me!" " Unh!" "Fuck you, Joey!" "Aah!" "Get off!" "Uhh!" "Uhh!" "Ohh!" "Ohh." "Ohh." "Oh, my God." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "Mmm." "Uhh." "Uhh." "Uhh." "Hello." "Hey, bro-ham." "You're still pretty good with the killing." "That's exciting." "Richie." "Yeah, it's Richie." "What do you say, Joey?" "Are you going to come see me?" "Or do I have to come see you?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "Uh, Jenny Cream." "Bottle." "You Ruben?" "Yeah." "You Joey?" "Yeah, I'm Joey." "So, what do we do now?" "You finish your beer... then I take you to see Richie in the Escalade." "Nice houses." "Richie's a very upscale kind of guy." "Nice gate." "Yeah." "We're here." "Home, sweet home." "Got to frisk you." "Nah." "I'll save you the trouble." "I'm not packing." "I got to frisk you." "All right." "I don't smell very good." "I've been driving pretty much non-stop... fifteen to sixteen hours." "I'll hold my nose." "Can you believe that place is still standing... the Track and Turf?" "Didn't you bang Jill Levy there... right on the bar in front of everybody?" "I never banged Jill Levy." "Well, you should've." "She was..." "She was something." "How you doing, Richie?" "Mmm." "Yeah." "It's been a long, long time, bro-ham." " Yeah." " Yeah." "Come with me." " You want anything?" " Nah." "So, you like that farm life?" "Milking cows and shit?" "I don't have a farm." "No?" "Fogarty thought you lived on some kind of farm." "Said you could smell pig." "How that old fart would know... what a pig smells like, I don't know... but that's what he said." "Ahem." "Do you like being married?" "What?" "Do you like being married?" "Does it work for you?" "I can't see it working for me." "I never felt the urge, you know?" "A lot of great looking women in the world." "I never met one made me want to give up all the others." "Sure, you can fuck around... but it's so much goddamn work, you know?" "Keeping it quiet." "It's not worth the effort." "Don't see the upside." "You see the upside, Joey?" "Yeah, Richie, I do." "I do now." "I'm pretty pissed at you, bro-ham." "You could've called." "You could've dropped a postcard in the mail." "We're brothers." "What'd you think would happen?" "I thought that business would come first." "Well, yeah." "Yeah, I know." "Tch." "I know." "What am I going to do?" "You bust up a made man's place." "You killed some of his guys." "You take his eye." "Jesus, Joey, you took his eye." "Barbed wire, wasn't it?" "That's disgusting." "You always were the crazy one." " Not anymore." " Yeah, I heard." "You're living the American dream." "You really bought into it, didn't you?" "You've been this other guy... almost as long as you've been yourself." "Hey, when you dream... are you still Joey?" "Joey's been dead a long time." "And yet here you sit... big as life." "You know you cost me... a lot of time and money." "Before you pulled that shit with Fogarty..." "I was a shoe-in to take over... when the boss croaked..." "a shoe-in." "It was made very clear to me, Joey." "I had to clean up your mess... or nothing was ever going to happen for me." "You got no idea how much shit I had to pull... to get back in with those guys." "You cost me... a hell of a lot, Joey, a hell of a lot." "Looks like you're doing all right over here." "Yeah, I am, I am." "I'm still behind the eightball... because of you." "There's a certain lack of respect... a certain lack of trust." "The boys in Boston are just waiting for me to go down." "You always were a problem for me, Joey." "When Mom brought you home from the hospital..." "I tried to strangle you in your crib." "I guess all kids try to do that." "She caught me... whacked the daylights out of me." "I've heard that story." "Well, what do you think?" "Better late than never?" "Richie..." "I'm here to make peace." "Tell me what I got to do to make things right." "You could do something, I guess." "You could die, Joey." "Ooh!" "Uhh!" "Uhh!" " Unh!" " Oh!" "Oh!" "Uhh!" "Uhh!" "Ohh!" "How do you fuck that up?" "Uhh!" "How do you fuck that up?" "What are you going to do, give him mouth-to-mouth?" "Did you see my brother?" "Fuckin' leave this... and let's just kill that little fuck!" "Jesus, Joey." "Jesus, Richie."
