"Look, Mr. Gillespie, I got these two loads and then I got two more that I'm trying to prep, man..." "Jake, when I promoted you to shift supervisor, it was 'cause you said you could handle the extra responsibility." "Now, if you can't, tell me, 'cause it's my ass on the line, not yours."

"There you go, man." "Pretty much done." "Come on." "Need a ride?" "Oh, nah, man, I'm good." "All right, but I won't be offering forever now." "I'm all right, man."

"You know, I box bolts and straps for a living." "That's what we do." "We take bolts and straps and we put them in a box." "Like, what kid wants to do that when they grow up?" "Well, I mean, you're going to do other things." "You're still young." "Young." "Still young?" "What do I have to look forward to, Cobb?" "I've got my mom, she's dying of cancer." "Then my brother, he's calling me all the time, asking me to help him pay these bills and I can't afford a car." "I'm walking all around town trying to get where I'm going." "You know, and I got this scum-bucket of a boss married to my ex-girlfriend." "(SCOFFS)" "It's just like, ever since I left that girl, man, it's just like the first domino in this long line of bad decisions." "Things work out." "Like I said, you're still young."

"Let me tell you a story." "The old man." "Fall in love." "Yeah." "She's a younger girl." "I thought she loved me too." "Shit!" "We had a kid together." "I mean, I'm thinking wedding bells, white picket fences. (WHOOPS)" "I guess she wasn't thinking that way because..." "This is what love looks like, man." "That's a court order." "That says that I cannot come within 500 yards of my own son." "My own son!" "I mean, she can rot in hell, but I would like to see my boy now and again." "Yeah, you got problems." "I'll tell you something about the courts, they're going to side with the woman every time." "Don't matter if she's the woman of your dreams or a frigid, cold, vindictive bitch." "(WHOOPS) Anyway, we all got problems, Jake." "Hey, man, I'm sorry about that." "I didn't know you had a kid." "That's all right, it don't matter." "All I'm saying is..." "We all get dealt cards." "It's how you play it, man." "Man..." "Play yours, better not play mine." "Hey, thanks, man." "Hey, I'm gonna be right back, all right?" "Yeah, I'm going to go get some air myself." "Ow!" "Hitting me like that." "Hey, Gill." "Look, man, I'm sorry about the way things went down today." "No, it's not so bad, kid." "Don't worry about it." "Hell, you gave me a second chance at life." "After all, a man my age should have no problem finding another job." "Well, the job market being in such good shape and all, as am I." "Plus with my generous severance package, future's looking pretty damn bright." "I guess I should be thanking you, Jake." "Is that what you came over here for?" "So I could thank you?" "Yeah, I was just..." "I'm sorry." "(BELCHES)" "Hey, boy!" "I bought you something to ease the pain." "I hope you noticed that..." "I tried to stick up for you back there today." "GILLESPIE:" "Kevin Weiss has had a bean up his butt about me from the start." "Mmm-hmm." "Ah, it's just some ugly old thing my daddy gave me as a boy." "Should've got rid of it a long time ago." "It's a monkey's paw." "What?" "Monkey's paw." "My daddy said it'll do magic, if you want it to." "Hey, look at that." "Monkey magic?" "Some kind of hoodoo?" "I never would have taken you as an Obeah man." "A little too pale." "GILLESPIE:" "Tell you honestly, I'm not sure what it is." "But I'll tell you this..." "My daddy said it can take hold of a man's life, move the pieces around." "It just gets passed on from one person to the next, bending a man's fate to his own will, giving him whatever he wants." "How?" "How does it work?" "Three boons." "Three good wishes that only its owner can ask." "Have you ever seen it actually work, you know, the wishes?" "GILLESPIE:" "Of course." "I wished for eternal good looks." "(CHUCKLES)" "Go ahead." "Give it a shot." "All right." "Won't be too hard." "I wish for that bitchin' GT outside." "All right." "It felt good." "You guys feel that?" "It's my turn." "GILLESPIE:" "No!" "It's his now." "It won't work for no one else till he finishes his three boons." "(SCOFFS)" "I can't, it's yours." "It's you know, from your dad and all." "Nope." "It's yours now." "It's just an old trinket anyhow." "You're doing me a favor getting that thing out of my sight." "Consider it a peace treaty." "No hard feelings." "No hard feelings, boy." "Booga-booga-booga!" "(CHUCKLES)" "Hey?" "It's still here." "Man, she is pretty." "Whose is that?" "(GROWLS)" "Look at that." "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Come on, man, let's go." "I'm getting tired." "How about that?" "Damn!" "Damn, Jake!" "Keys are in it." "Look for yourself." "Whoa!" "How about that?" "That thing worked." "Come on, man, you know it's a coincidence." "Maybe." "(SCOFFS)" "(COBB WHOOPING)" "Yeah, come on, baby." "JAKE:" "Car's not in the driveway." "I don't think she's home." "Hmm." "Exactly what was the plan here?" "What you think, you're going to drive up and sweep her off her feet and drive off into the sunset, just the three of us?" "You're ready to go." "I'm ready to go." "No, no, hold on." "Hold on!" "Just so it shouldn't be a total loss." "Cobb, what are you doing?" "Nothing." "Just stay in the car, Jake, until I come." "Don't get your panties in a twist." "Get back in the car." "No, no, it's all right." "I'm just going to leave a message." "You know, a little calling card." "This is our boss's house." "No, seriously, stop!" "Don't do that." "Don't ever do that." "Come on, man." "We got to go, all right?" "All right, but don't forget." "You mess with the Cobb, you get the corn." "Huh?" "(LAUGHS)" "Nasty drunk, you know that?" "Uh-oh." "What's going on, Jake?" "Hey, Olivia." "Kevin's not home." "Little late for stopping by, don't you think?" "Is it?" "Um... (EXHALES) I'm sorry." "I don't have my phone on me." "Are you drunk?" "No." "You know Tony." "He works at the factory." "Hi Tony." "Whose car?" "It's mine." "You have a car now?" "Yeah." "I wished for it." "Okay." "Hey." "Oh, Olivia, um..." "What part of this won't you understand?" "Where's Kevin?" "At this time of night, shouldn't he be home?" "He's prepping for the fundraiser at St. Luke's." "(SCOFFS)" "But I just drove by there and they're all closed up." "So I will be expecting him back shortly." "Why are you looking for him?" "Um..." "I'm here for you." "(SCOFFS)" "Yeah." "That's one thing you've never been." "That's really mean, and really not nice." "Okay, I'm married, Jake." "Too little, too late." "Says who?" "Me." "Go on, go home." "Before Kevin comes home and fires your ass." "Goodnight, Tony." "Hey!" "Gosh, she's really pretty." "Actually kind of a fetching girl, she is." "See the way she look at you?" "I think you got a shot." "You think you got a shot with her?" "What are you doing with that knife, Cobb?" "Just going to twist his titties, that warthog, if he was home." "That's all." "Just going to break his chops a little bit." "Yeah, it didn't seem like you were breaking chops, man." "What did it look like?" "I don't know." "Looks like maybe you're losing your mind a little bit, that's what." "Hey man, I'm not the one making wishes on a monkey's paw, am I?" "Huh." "Losing my mind." "Maybe I am losing my mind." "Watch!"

"He also murdered my mother." "Yeah, about that, I spoke with the attending over at Charity and they're saying heart failure." "When was the last time you saw Kevin Weiss?" "Why?" "What does this have to do with anything?" "You know he's dead?" "Somebody crushed him in one of your industrial pressers over at the supply warehouse, where you and he and this Mr. Cobb all work."

"My daddy was so pissed off, man." "So, he rented out my brother's room to make sure he'd never come home." "One night, a wanderer, a weird fella, passes through port," "needs a place to stay." "And he..." "He can't pay so he shows my daddy a collection of trinkets to barter with." "And among them was this one little monkey's paw." "He tells him that you wish on it three times, gives a man whatever he desires." "As a joke, my daddy wishes it'd help him pay off his mortgage." "And he thinks nothing of it, traveler spends the night and is gone before the sun comes up the next morning." "A day later, we get word that my brother had died in combat." "But then we get his life insurance policy." "Exact price of the mortgage." "To the penny." "My family was never same after that." "What happened?" "With the other two wishes?" "Let's just say my mom would have done anything to see my brother's face again." "(ECHOES) Don't play with fate, boy." "It did something to Cobb." "I don't know what." "But he's..." "Different." "Psychotic." "Soulless?" "(WHISPERS) Yeah." "Look, I should've got rid of that damn thing years ago." "So, look, I..." "I mean, if I have this monkey's paw and it works, right?" "Well, then I can just wish all this undone." "It'll give you what you ask for but not the way you want it." "It takes from what's there." "It spits it back, darker." "Poisoned." "Don't bring any more misery upon yourself." "It must've gone well, judging by the look back there." "Yeah, let's get out of here." "Little bitter?" "ABBY:" "Mississippi?"
