" Well, it seemed that this physician-type character named" "Pete was all depressed one day." "He felt terrible because he did some stuff he just couldn't get over." " What did he do?" " He slept with five of his patients." "But Pete wasn't the worst guy in the universe because no matter how hard he tried to forget about it, he couldn't." "The guilt and sense of unprofessionalism was overwhelming but, every once in a while, he'd hear a voice inside him said, Pete, don't worry about it." "You're not the first licensed practitioner that sleeps with one of your patients, and you won't be the last." "Besides, you're single." "Let it go." "But then just when he was almost over the guilt of it all, another voice would bring him back down to reality and say, oh, Pete, but, dude, you're a veterinarian."

" A truckful of cologne." "Now, this truck contained something in addition to just cologne." " Something like what?" " Bagful of money." "The weird part is that the guy called us up and had the stones to taunt us after he did what he did." " Stones."

" He's sleeping." "It'll be merciful." " Oh, I thought we were out of bullets again." " We are." "But I can run out and go get some more from somewhere real quick." " We couldn't even do it now even if we have the bullets." " Why not?" " I don't know." "He said, he wanted to see it coming." " When?" " While you were out." " Did he say anything else?" " Like what?" " Like, why he wants to check out so bad?" " A little." " Well?" " He's got bad cancer." " It's in my pancreas and spreading." "I'm going to die." "And I'd rather not take the scenic route." " I don't think he has anybody who loves him either which must be even worse." "We should think about going to his funeral, you know, just so there's someone there?" "What?" "What?" " At the end of the day, Danny will send the surviving members of his squad to finish the job either way." "So if it's not us doing this, it'll be somebody else." "And besides, he's like dead all ready." "In fact, it's way better if we're the ones to do it." "Because unlike Danny's punks, we're not going to torture him for eight or nine hours first." "Did you hear something?" " What happened to you anyway?" "You look a little mussed up." "What's with the heat shield?" " This?" " Yeah." " I've been deputized." " I'm serious, Vi." " Fine." "Had a little incident while I was out getting the bullets." " You want to talk about it?" " Are you interested?" " Always." " So the second I get the lead, three desperadoes stormed in and hold up the spot." "First, I'm thinking, I'm just going to lay low in aisle three and let the shit be." "Then one of them sees me and gets the bright idea that they should rob me, too." "So I proceeded to inform the perp and his pals of the multiple ways in which they might violate their mothers." "So while they're trying to figure out where I got the balls, the cops show up." "Was it because the place had a silent alarm?" "No." "Was it because the cops just got lucky?" "Hell, no." "This place is a stone's throw from the 115th precinct." "So the minute I remember that little detail, I'm thinking one of two things." "These desperadoes are either stupid or crazy as all hell." "Whatever the case, the cops apprehend the whole crew and then one of the fuzzy-wuzzies asked me if I'm OK." "So I said, officer, how do you know I wasn't in on it?" "What makes you think a girl can't be in on it?" "Next thing I hear is..." " He's got a gun!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "The guy behind the register flips and starts shooting at the perps." "It seemed he had a gun beneath the counter and took the robbery personally." "Long story short, just about everybody ended up taking a slug or two, except for yours truly." "That's how I got this one shield on me." "It was blasted off a porker and just landed there." "Scout's honor!" "Anyway, right about then, I thought it might be prudent to exit the premises through the rear." "Some days, you just can't get a bullet to save your life." "[thud]" " And here, of all places." "I mean, shit, this is America, right?" " But how did you get so dirty?" " I slipped on a banana peel in the alleyway coming back." "Let's go see about those dresses." "[snoring]" " [clears throat]" "How are you, girls, holding up?" " Fine." " Fine." "We're out of bullets again, though." " Why don't you use one of those guys' guns?" "They seem to have plenty." " Why the hell didn't I think of that?" "VIOLET (OFFSCREEN):" "These guys have everything, Daise!" "Even a little glock for your purse." "You know, the blue one?" "This is like Christmas." "Uh, gotcha, whatever." "Take your pick, Mister." " Why don't you decide?" " OK, let's see." "I'm going to go with the. 38, Daise." "All right, you ready, Mister?" " Sure." " OK, here goes nothing." "Hardy hat hat." " What?" " Are you done yet?" " Come again?" " I said, are you done yet?" " What are you talking about?" " You weren't seriously going to do it, right?" " I most certainly was." " With that piece?" " Yes." " Hm." "Suit yourself." " Well, why shouldn't I?" " It's unprofessional." " How's that?" " Forensics." " Forensics?" " Yeah." "Forensics, ballistics." "There's a real good chance those dorks will foul everything up for us if we do it like this." "I mean Danny's guys can even wind up with the credit if they trace the gun and boss will try to weasel out of paying us." "Even worse, we might get blamed for every corpse in here." "And boss would shaft us to the hills on account of unnecessary roughness, not to mention the gang war we might have already started." "And it's not even like we can switch out the bullets because the calibres wouldn't begin to match the ones in our style and rods." "So, like I said, you can do it your way if you want to, but we risk looking unprofessional and getting screwed out of a couple of hot dresses." "[plane zooming]" " Good thinking, Daise." "Forensics will fuck you." " You would have thought of it, too, Vi." " Yeah, maybe." "DAISY (OFFSCREEN):" "I need a smoke." " You'd do that?" "When did you start doing that?" " I don't know." " Where did you get those?" " Oh, from one of those guys." "You mind if I smoke in your place, Mister?" " Yeah." " "Yeah," you mind; or "yeah," it's OK?" " Yeah, I mind." "Actually, do what you like." "It doesn't matter anyway." " I'll take it out to the stairs." "Oh, and Violet, you might want to wipe your prints off those pieces." "Put them back on the fellows." " Sounds good, Daise." " Come on, sit up, I want to show you something." "You know, you'll probably be a millionaire if you cleaned your ears out more often." " Nah-uh." " Here." "Now, what were you going to tell me?" ""Ha?"" " You had a secret you were going to tell me." " [sighs]" " Can I ask you something?" "Why is she so mad at you?" " She's your friend, you tell me." " I'm not talking about Violet." " Oh." "She blames me for something." " For what?" " Her mother's death." " Why?" "Did you kill her?" " No." "She died after she left me." " Why did she leave you?" " She didn't love me." " Why didn't she love you?" " I don't know, Daisy." "I don't think people have a lot of control over that sort of thing." "[sighs]" "As a husband, I wasn't much of a prize, anyway." "Whatever the case, she fell in love with someone else." "'Who?" " Man she used to work with." "I didn't know him." "I only saw him once from a distance." "They died at a car accident." " How did your daughter figure that's your fault?" " Well, my daughter didn't know about the affair." "She blamed me for the breakup and, consequently, the car accident." " Well, did you ever tell her the whole story?" " No." " Why not?" " Because I want her to remember her mother the way she does now." " That's stupid." "You're stupid." " Thank you." " Did your daughter like Barbie Sunday?" " What?" " Does your daughter like Barbie Sunday?" " Very much." " At least, you did something right." "Now, I'm going to get some bullets and be done with all this." "Tell Violet." "[gunshots]" " You like my partner, don%you?" " What's not to like?" "She's a sweet girl." " Do you like her better than me?" " I don't know you as well." " That's OK." "I'd like her better than me, too." "She might even think she can keep you alive for some silly reason." "Kids." " May I ask you a question, Violet?" " You may ask." " Do you ever miss the Doll Hospital?" " Not particularly." "And I think I know what you're driving at, Mister." "But this job never got to me, aside from the sensational rush of the action." " What about those men?" " What men?" " The ones you killed?" " That was fucking magical." "Did you see that?" "It's a bit early to know, but career-wise, that little miracle might be my "Mona Lisa. " It's not my "Billy" ""Jean. " Actually..." " Do you have any family?" " What?" " Do you have any family?" " What a random question." " Well, do you?" " Daisy's like family." " You didn't answer the question." " I got a father somewhere." "What's with the interview?" " When is the last time you and he spoke?" " What do you care?" " That long, huh?" " Are you afraid of what's next?" " Me getting shot?" " I mean, after that?" " Haven't thought about it." ""And?"" " I haven't come up with anything conclusive." " I'm not an expert or anything, but I have a theory." "MISTER (OFFSCREEN):" "Hm." " I figure..." "I figure heaven, it's probably a place where nobody cares how big or small you are or what you look like." "People probably don't even have bodies." "They're just maybe like essences or something." "But if they do have bodies, everyone's got to be naked, for sure, because that's how we all showed up here in the first place, right?" "And also, if you have a back problem or bad knees or self-esteem issues, that stuff wouldn't bug you anymore up there." "And everything's free, too." "Or at least, wholesale." "I don't know if there are animals, but that would be cool." "Oh, yeah, and when you're walking into the gates for the very first time, they are probably playing that Louis" "Armstrong song, something nice like that." "Part of it came from this girl I knew." "She died." "It's a long story." "Anyway, she thought everybody would be naked." "That part was her idea." " How did she die?" " I don't want to talk about it." "I mean, I do." "But when I try, it never works." "Maybe someday." "Hm?" "Hm." "Wow." "Sit up." "[footsteps rushing] [gunshots]" " Who wants some snack?" " You know what?" "Wow." " What?" " I don't think there are enough holes here from that first time me and Daisy came out blasting." " Is that important?" " Could be." "In any case, I have a feeling that my partner is not exactly holding up her end." " I've never actually really never killed anybody." "I've been using blanks." "[gunshots]" " I just make sure me and Violet don't share ammunition." "[gunshots]" " It's just that, she's so fierce and thorough on the job, I could pack a squirt gun, it just wouldn't matter." " How do you mean "holding up her end"?" " I mean that I might be the only one taking out the trash." "It means it looks like she's been packing blanks." " So what?" " So what?" " Yeah, so what?" "Even if she isn't taking people out, isn't it better that she's with you?" "Do you think your opponents having two targets instead of one might have saved your behind a time or two?" "Do you understand?" "She's risking her life as well." "And do you think your friendship might have helped keep you sane as you wander through this life of yours?" " There is still the principle." "We have rules." "And what she may have been doing is a big no-no, no matter how you slice it." "Because one day, your packing blanks, and the next, you're wearing a wire." " So what are you going to do about it?" " I'm going to have to take her out if my suspicion is true." " I thought Daisy was your friend." " I'm not saying I'm going to like it." " I thought you said she was like family." " She is." "But she's a businesswoman, too." "So she'll understand." "I always figured she'd check out first, anyway." " Why?" " Because that's how it usually goes with the good ones." "You got a hair dryer?" "[music - "answer me my love"]" "[police radio chatter]" "[door opens]" "[door closes]" "[planes zooming]" " You just missed her." " Daise?" " She just left?" "'Who?" " Rose." " Well, is she alive?" " I don't know." "She asked about you." " What did she say?" " She said, "I'm looking for your partner. " Those were her exact words." " Is that all she said?" " No." " She said that "Roses were dead. "" "And violets were, too. " She split after that." "And that was the end of it." " How long have you been here?" " She's taller than I thought." " How long have you been here, Daise?" " I can't really tell." "Time is spent up now, so I don't know." "I keep missing my flight." " What's that?" " Oh, that?" "That's his, the guy's." "Rose is back." "[gunshot] [pants] [thunder rolls]" "NUMBER 1 (OFFSCREEN):" "Hello, number 9." " Oh, my." "Are you... wow, I always figured you were..." " You always figured I was what?" "...Imaginary or a boy." " Do you know what I've been doing today?" "I have been watching you and your partner." " Did you hear something?" " That partner of yours is clean out of her mind." "And she's going to put us all in a real bad spot." "And we can't let that happen." "I can't let that happen." "I won't let that happen." "Do you even know what grief our little slaughter is going to cause us?" "Well, I'll tell you." "Two of the idiots that she ventilated were engaged." "Do you know who they were going to marry?" "The police chief's stepdaughters." "And you can bet the house that once they sort out all this rubbish, boss is going to be held accountable." "Next to that, a garden variety gang war would be a Sunday stroll." " There is a dead guy at the bottom of the steps." " He saw me." " Can I ask you a question, ma'am?" "Do you always work by yourself?" " Yes." " Is it lonely?" " What's that to you?" " Just wondering." " Well then, let's get back to business because I'm late for my ballet class." "Finish the job or face the consequence." "Am I clear?" " Well, I got news for you, number 1." "Given the situation, I see why you're TO'd and all." "But what's done is done." "And my partner comes first." " What's that supposed to mean?" " It means, that if you try to take her out or get in the middle of our job, you're in for a world of hurt." "I know what you're capable of." "But we're pros, too." "We also know that you're coming now." " Do you know what I wanted to be when I was your age?" "I don't either." "I like you, kid." "You're in over your head." "And you're scared, yet you look death in the eye without blinking." "It's admirable, but it won't save you." "It won't save your partner." "And it won't save your new pal." "Finish the job or face the consequences." "You've got an hour." "DAISY (OFFSCREEN):" "Sorry about that stuff I said before." " What stuff?" " When I called you stupid and stuff." " That's OK." "Did you find any more bullets lying around?" " Shh." "Hey, want to hear something?" " Hm-mm." " Your daughter doesn't hate you." " How do you know?" " I know." " How could you?" "You've never even met her." " Doesn't matter." "I still know she doesn't hate you." " Well..." " I'm a daughter, too." "[door slams]" " Vi?" " She left." " Where did she go?" " To get more bullets." "Listen carefully, Daisy." "When she comes back, I need for you to be the one to put me down." "It's very important." "'Why me?" " Because you and me are friends, right?" " I guess." "But..." " Will you promise me that?" " I can't." " I need you to promise me." " But I can't." " I need you to do this for me." " I can't." " I need you to do this for me." " No, I can't." " Don't argue with me, April!" " But I'm Daisy." " Don't argue with me, girl!" "You promise me." "Say it." " I promise." " You promise?" " I said I would, didn't I?" " I got something to show you." "I tried to give it to my daughter, but she threw it back at me." "I think you're about her size." "Would you try it on?" "I'll wait in the other room." " Got the bullets." "You'd be surprised how many places I... what's going on?" " How do I look?" " OK." "Where did you get it?" " He gave it to me." " What for?" " I don't know, Vi." " Can I talk to you a minute?" "Have you lost your mind?" "DAISY (OFFSCREEN):" "What's wrong?" "VIOLET (OFFSCREEN):" "You're my problem." " I'll let you borrow it some time, if that's what this is about." " No, it's not about a fucking dress." " Yeah, right." " That's exactly right." "DAISY (OFFSCREEN):" "You don't run me, Violet." "We don't know anybody or get involved in stuff or anything like that." "I never went to a prom!" "You did, but I didn't." " Be glad you didn't." " Why?" " Because they would laugh at you." " How do you know?" " Because that's what they do if you're different." " Everybody isn't like that, Vi." "And so what if they laughed?" "So what?" " Don't tell me what I know." "You haven't been through things like me." " And I hope I never do if it makes me so scared." " I'm not scared." " Yes, you are, Violet." "You don't trust anyone or anything." "You never did." " I trusted you." " What?" " I said I trusted you." " When did you stop?" " The second I saw that goddamn dress on your back." " That's just perfect then." " Why?" " Because now, you don't have anything at all." "VIOLET (OFFSCREEN):" "So what are you trying to say?" "DAISY (OFFSCREEN):" "I've just said it." "VIOLET (OFFSCREEN):" "Say it again if you have the guts." "DAISY (OFFSCREEN):" "You heard me!" "VIOLET (OFFSCREEN):" "I'm going to kick your ass!" "[smack]" "[GRUNTING AND SCUFFLING NOISES]" " Cut it off, bitch!" "You're going to mess up my new dress." "[gunshot]" "[coughing]" " When that lady was coming up the street, I was just... just messing with her." "Never shot a gun before." " How was it?" " What are you... angling for some new shoes now?" "DAISY (OFFSCREEN):" "Shut up about it!" "VIOLET (OFFSCREEN):" "You shut up about it!" "DAISY (OFFSCREEN):" "Make me!" "VIOLET (OFFSCREEN):" "I just did." "DAISY (OFFSCREEN):" "Oh, is that what you call it?" " Violet." " What?" " Almost forgot, I got something for you, too." "Really?" " Uh-huh." " Why are you giving this to me?" " You have a unique world view." "Now, you could share it with others in a new way." " Thanks a lot, Mister." "DOLORES (OFFSCREEN):" "I need the police." "Yes, that's my address." "VIOLET (OFFSCREEN):" "What are you doing?" " He's writing a letter." " To who?" " To whom?" " To whom?" " His daughter." " I'll do it." " Wha..." " All write it for you." " All right." "Thank you." "[sighs]" "So where was I?" " "Dear April. "" " That's it?" " So far, yeah." " Dear April, I don't know if you'll ever read this." "But I hope you do." "In any case, it's time we finally talked." "Please take care of yourself." "I managed to put some money in your bank account." "Please use it to continue your education." "Your mother would have wanted that, too." "Don't worry about the dead men in the bathtub." "It's not what it looks like and a long story to tell right now." "Sometimes, for no particular reason, I think of you and smile." "It's usually about that day that we drove out to the mall for your birthday." "Your mom had the flu and she said to go without her." "And I remember you wandered off, got lost." "Two hours later, we finally found each other." "We hugged." "You didn't want to let go." "Then we went for ice cream." "And we talked all the way home." "I think that was the happiest day I've had." "I know I probably wasn't the best father in the world." "But I tried best I could." "Anyway, I've loved you all that I possible can." "Love, Dad." "Now, PS, this isn't in my handwriting because a friend" "of mine wrote it out for me." "If you just leave that in the apartment when you go, I'm sure it will get to her." "I'm glad you, girls, came by." "I wouldn't have written that otherwise." "[gunshots]" " Daise." "We got to go now, Daise." " He never even said his name, Vi." " Come on." "[thuds]" " Our bike is gone." " I know." " Well, we got them." " Yeah." " Dress looks awesome on you." " Yeah, so did yours." " Hey, I know we never really talked about stuff since that day." "Are we cool?" " Yeah, of course." "Righteous." "Hey, YOU hungry or anything?" " Not really." "I'm just going to take a walk." " Yeah, screw food." "I can use a nap, if you want to know the truth." "You want me to take your bag home?" " No." "[phone rings]" " Better not be Russ." "It's my dad." "Really?" " I tried to get the pizza place, but I..." "I pressed his number instead." "Long story." "Hang on a sec, Phil." "See you, Daise." "Hey, dad." ""April?" "Are you, um, April?" "Hi." " Hi." "I was a friend of your father." "I just wanted to let you know that I was a friend of his." "And that he talked about you a lot." "He wanted me to give something to you, too." " What is it?" " The new Barbie Sunday dress." " For real?" " Yeah." "I think it should fit." "There's something else in there, too." " Thanks." " You're welcome." "Your father was a good guy, April." "He told me how you, two, got lost in the mall, one day, and then had ice cream." "Well, see you." "[gunshot] [music playing]"
