"Yeah, probably not." "You could've broken your neck, you know." "You were worth it." "Give me a sec, okay?" "I'll come over, I'll make you some coffee." "Bonjour." "Ciao." "Hey, it's my brother-in-law!" "What can I do for you?" "Well, a coffee would be nice." "Yeah?" "Uh, but there's... something that... you know, has been bugging me that I want to clear up first, okay?" "What?" "What is?" "When my sister left, she had a shitload of money with her." "You know where it is?" "That's why-- the coffee is easier to speak about difficult things, you know?" "Well, I know, but I've already had a cup of coffee, so you know anything about it?"

"They're best friends." " You know why?" " Why?" "They grew up together." "My mom lived in that house next door... when she was a little girl." "And now we come over to make sure the furnace doesn't explode." "Her name was Mary O'Connell." "And she lived with Grandpa O'Connell." "And he died." "He's gone already." "He owned the hot dog stand at the roller coaster." "I know it 'cause my dad owns it." "He owns everything in the amusement park."

"He's probably in there trying to figure out how to get rid of me, take the whole fucking house." "Fuck." "Be careful with it, okay?" "Name it." "Did you-- okay, you gotta name it." "That's a good idea." " Bailey'll name it." " Go on." "Aw, fuck!" "You need help?" "No." "Bailey, look what I got." "Oh, yeah?" "Where'd you get that?" "Jack won the ring toss." "Take that." "How'd he do that?" "You know?" "Here." "I cut the ring so it could fit the bottle, you know?" "They cheat, we cheat." "Hey, Bailey, is it okay if I leave Martin with you for a bit?" "Yeah, sure." "I'll pick you up later, okay?" " Okay." " Come on." "Hey, be careful with that, you know?" "I would not force so much this mechanism, you know?" "Is very delicate." "What, do you want me to give it a little French kiss, huh?" "Uh, I know this machine." "I can fix it Bailey, but I need your help, you know?" "We have to, uh..." "You know?" "Is out of, um..." "How you say, not in line?" " Yeah." " Yeah?" "So you need-- you wanna do that, huh?" "Paisano?" "What, are you Italian now?" "Eh, a little bit of everything." "How about Vaffanculo?" "Bravo, pow."

"'" "Yeah, it doesn't change anything, you know?" "I'm worried about Bailey." "Susan was his whole life." "Bailey's gonna be fine." "You just need to leave him alone." "I can't leave him alone." "What, I have to put you under lock and key?" "That's not funny." "Uh, joking." "Come on." "Come on, Wiley." "Stop it." "No, come on." " Come on, I said stop it." " Come on." "Come on, I mean it."

"Hey, you wanna go for a ride?" "What, you're not going home?" "No, I'm in the dog house." "How come?" "I fucked up, Bailey." "I don't now what I'm doing anymore." "Who does?" "Nah, it's different." "It's like I see it in her eyes, man." "She just-- she's waiting for me to screw up." "Hey." "Open the door." "God, I miss 'em, Bailey." "What?" "Big rides." "They're so great when they're lit up in the summer." "What are you doing?" "Come on, cut the crap." "It's freezing out." "Shh, shh, shh." "She's listening." "Who?" "Susan." "She loved these rides." "Remember the-- what was it, the Tornado?" "What, did we take her on that thing, like, a thousand times?" "I can still hear her screaming." "God, I miss those times, Bailey." "Get on the stupid ride." "All right, we got guns!" "One for you... one for you... one for me." "Indians don't get guns." "Only cowboys do." " Who says so?" " Yeah, only cowboys." " Who says so?" " You're dumb." "Indians only get bows and arrows." " Everyone knows that." " Yeah, everyone knows that." "Well, I traded some wampum for some guns for us." "Can I have bows and arrows?" "No, no, no." "You gotta have a gun, Mart." "It's all we got." "Mom says I can't play with guns." "Yeah, well she's right." "Uh... we're gonna say water pistols." "These are water pistols." " They're not guns." " Okay, water pistol." " There." " Exciting." "Get on the stupid ride." "We'll start the ride." "All right." "Hi-ho Silver, away!" "All right, circle the wagons!" "Indians on the warpath!" "There it goes." "Oh, God, no." "Circle the wagons, Indians on the warpath!" "This ride stinks." "Come on." "Hey, hey, give me back the guns!" "Gimme the guns!" " It broke." " You guys were great." " Ma, I need a hot dog." " Okay." "Okay, if you stay where I can see you, okay?" "Okay." "No, I got it, I got it, I got it." "Here." "Hi-ho, Silver, away!" "You made one kid pretty happy." "Can't run this ride on one kid." "Things'll pick up." "Oh, you think so?" "Look at this place." "I mean, I..." "I don't know what to do." "Without Susan, it's just-- it's not the same, you know?" "Come on, Ma." "I know, just let me get my eyes open." "Come on." "No, you close your eyes." " Oh, close my eyes." " Yeah." " Okay." " Watch out." "I'm watching out." " Sit down." " Okay." "Sit." "Open your eyes!" "Open, read it." " Read it." " "Wiley loves Mary."" "Yeah, "Wiley loves Mary."" " How'd you do that?" " We did it together." " Yeah." " Right, Marty?" "Yeah." "You like it?" "Mary, I'm sorry." "I know I screwed up, and I know sorry doesn't cut it." "But things are gonna be different, okay?" "I'm gonna do better." "For you and for Marty." "I mean it." "Okay?" "I promise." "Yeah, Mom." "Dad's really sorry." "Can I eat them now, Dad, please?" "Sure, go ahead, pal." "What are you doing?" "I'm looking for Susan's diary, you know?" "She doesn't have a diary." "Yes, she had one." "Well, it's not here 'cause I tore this place apart when she left, and I didn't find a diary." "Listen, she told me she had one and... she had it in-- how you call it" "She call it Esmeralda." "Is a-- is a" " A teddy bear." " Yes, a teddy bear." "You know what I'm talking about?" "Yeah." " Mm, yes." " So?" "She told me that you won that when she was a little girl, right?" "Yeah." "What else she tell you?" "She told me... to give you... give you this." "Yes!" "Yes, okay." "Go, get the ring." "Bravo, bravo." "One more, one more." "I want see more." "Bravo, bravo." "Oh, brava." " Alex did it." " Jacques:" "Good." "Bravo, bravo." "Very good." " We got a dropper." " Okay." " Ah-ah, you missed one." " You dropped it." "Okay." "That turn is finished." "That's it." "Easy now." "Everybody home." "See you tomorrow." "Ciao." "Okay, let's go." "How many did you catch?" "Five?" "Oh, oh, hold on, hold on." "Give the ticket to Marty, okay?" "Very good." "And now we start again." "Kids, train's pulling out!" "Last chance!" " Hey." " Fuck." " Come on, give me a ride." " You gotta buy a ticket." "I'm the landlord, remember?" "Yeah, well, things are tough all over." "Yeah." "You just gonna sit there, or you gonna start the thing?" "Got nothing else to do." "I can see it." "You missed out!" "And, uh, give me the spiel, too, okay?" " What spiel?" " "What spiel"?" "The bullshit you say that makes this ridiculous thing fun." "You gotta pay for bullshit." "Come on, at least blow the whistle." " 50 cents." " 50 cents, huh?" "You want 50 cents?" "Here, keep the change." "Blow it twice." "Nice catch." "That's a pathetic whistle, you know that?" "All right, boys and girls." "Atlantic Coastline going down the straightaway." " Unbelievable." " Here we go." "Bailey, there's your French buddy." "Feel the wind in your hair." "Yeah, maybe you should borrow his spiel." "No, seriously, man." "If he can bring in business like this in the winter, we might actually make some money in the summer." "Well, the kids like a change." "It'll pass." "Go, quick, you got it!" "He's got the look." "What's that, tight pants?" "No, it's called success, Bailey." "I didn't think you'd recognize it." "It's one ride." "Yeah, well, lucky me that one ride's sittin' on my real estate." "You know, I've been really fair to you over the years." "Yeah, meaning what?" "Meaning, if you're making money now," "I think it's about time I raise your rent a little bit." "Since when do you need money?" "Don't worry about what I need." "I've always bailed you out, no questions asked." "Now it's your turn, okay?" " Hi, Dad." " It's your turn." "Hey, pal." "How are ya?" " Good." " Listen, I got a great idea." "What do you say we blow this dump and get a couple hot dogs, huh?" "No, that's okay, Dad." "I have to stay and help Bailey." " I'm his partner." " Yeah." "I've gotta blow the whistle." "Okay, pal." "You blow the whistle." "Okay, you ready?" "Go." "Come catch it, okay?" "Okay, I wanna see you getting more rings."

" You're crazy." " Come on." "Be crazy with me." " You're kidding, right?" " No." "Come on." "I make a goal." "This is a goal." "Put it down." "Put it down, Marty, right there." "And you kick it very slow." "You have to make a goal." " A boot." "Okay?" " Okay." "Yes, goal." "Very good." "Hold on, I go." "Don't run!" "Don't run, Marty!" "Don't run, come here!" "Come here, Marty." "Come here, come here, Marty." "Come here." "I'm here." "Come on, Marty." "Come, come, come." "I'm here." " It's okay, it's okay." " It's okay." "Hey, hey, sweetie." "I'm here." "It's okay." "Look at your mommy." "Look at your mommy." " Open your eyes." " Martin, I'm right here, look." "You just swallowed some seawater, that's all." "You swallowed some yucky seawater." "It tastes salty." "Does it taste salty?" "Taste it." "Like a bad pretzel, right?" "Yeah, it's yucky seawater, that's all." " Aw, it's okay." " It's salty and it sticks and burns." "Look at me." "Look at me, look at me." "Okay, it burns and it stings, right?" "But you're okay." "You're okay." "Okay, okay." " Come on, come on." " It's okay, sweetie." "I'm right here." "You okay now?" "Mommy's right here, okay?" "You okay?" "You feel better now?" "You better?" "Yes." "It hurts." "It was icky seawater." "Yeah, I know." "You sure did." " I got a boot." " You got a what?" "A boot." "It's called-- it's called a goal." " He did it." " Put that on." "I'm sorry about Marty, okay?" "It was an accident." "I knew we shouldn't have come down here." "Come on, Bailey." "He's a kid." "He should have fun." "Why don't you go the fuck home before you ruin everything in my life, okay?" "Hey, listen." "I came here, your life was shit." "You understand that?" "I make it better, remember." " You made it better?" " Yes!" "How'd you make it better?" "Huh?" "I lost half my fuckin' house," "Mary's got a black eye, Wiley's a fucking crack head and he wants more money, and my sister's buried in a fucking ash can down the beach." "How the fuck did you make it better, motherfucker?" "Huh, motherfucker?" "I love her, too." "She was my wife." "She was my fucking wife." "And you're lucky or I'd fucking kill you, motherfucker." "What did you say?" "He want more money?" "Huh?" "Yeah, he wants more money." "He wants $500 every fucking weekend." "How's that grab ya?" "# Will put me right down in a hole #" "# Ooh, yeah #" "# Wild ride... #" "Ciao, Jaquimo." ""Come este?"" ""Como estai," Terri." ""Como estai."" "Right." "Como estai?" "Gimme the same, please." "You got it, Jacquimo." "I wish I had a cigarette." "So get one." "I can't." "Susan made me quit." "You surprise me." "You know?" "You're not afraid to beat the shit out of me, but you don't do nothing to Wiley." "Nothing." "You know, Wiley and me, we had this competition." "We'd... drink." "And whoever's left standing at the end of the night would make sure the other one got home." "Wanna try?" "Salud." "Terri!" "Two more." "Wanna know how we met, Wiley and me?" "Hmm?" "In a cop car." "We were the big-- biggest juvenile delinquents in the town, and we both got arrested on the same night." "We ended up in the back of the same car." "We had nothing in common." "We just-- just think that we both hated our fuckin' fathers so much." "Susan ever tell you about Daddy?" "No." "Mm." "Billy Euler." "Everybody called him Rooster, and he was... he was a tough fucker, man." "I was no joke when I was 18 years old, and he threw me around like I was nothing." "He used to come home... you know... smack my mother around the kitchen a little bit, give me a few pops in the face, go up to bed whistling'." "What about..." "Wiley's father?" "Oh, he was a fucking reptile." "He'd look at you with those eyes, man, you feel like you did something wrong." "You didn't even do anything." "Cold, man." "All he gave a shit about was money." "And making Wiley feel like shit." "He fucking hated Wiley, man." "At least the competition... between the two fathers was equal?" "Huh?" "Yeah, maybe." "Until my mother died... and Rooster started making his little trips into Susan's bedroom at night." "Man, I'd hear 'em through the door." "Oh, she didn't tell you about that, huh?" "Huh." "Well, I guess she wanted to take that one to the grave." "She told me her father was dead." "No, Wiley's father's dead." "Hey." "Want some company in there?" "Not tonight." "Hey, Wiley, stop it." "You gonna leave me, Mary?" "Is that what you're planning?" "You ungrateful bitch." "What are you doing, fucking the French guy, too?" " Huh?" " Wiley, I don't fucking" "You fucking cunt!" "You're making a fucking jerk outta me." "You son of a bitch!" "You bastard!" "You motherfucking bastard!" "I was playing." "It was a game!" "I swear, Mary." "You know what?" "I'm gonna kill this fucking Rooster." "You gotta find him first." "You know, I did have a plan to protect my sister." "I wasn't just doing nothing, you know." "It just got fucked up, that's all." "Yeah, a little fucked up." "We were just kids, you know?" "Just kids." "Wiley's old man bragged to Wiley how he had all this money in his desk." "That he could fuck around with more than Wiley'd ever make in his life." "And Wiley knew where the key was." "So I got this great idea." "We'd rob the fucker." "It was a way for Wiley to get back at his old man." "And me?" "I'd" "I'd help Susan, I'd go to Rooster, I'd say," ""Here, take the money." "Just get the hell outta here." "Leave us alone."" "I said to Wiley, I said, "Come on." "Let's do this."" "He said, "No."" "And then I told him." "I told him what Rooster was doing to Sus'." "And he just... gave me the key." "Then he told me-- told me-- he said," ""I'll call you when my old man isn't home," you know?" "And he called me and I went over and the key unlocked the drawer and I had the money and... and I look up and there's fucking Cabot Reed... standing there with a gun, looking at me." "He was heading toward the desk, "I'm gonna call the police,"" "so I just charged at him." "I went at him." "Boom-- he went like this." "Bang, the fucking gun went off, he went down... and I saw blood and I, uh... just got the hell outta there." "I didn't even remember taking the money." "So I buried it... and I just waited for them to come get me." "You killed Wiley's father?" "Yeah." "I did." "But they thought, uh... they thought Rooster did it." " Why?" " Ah, there was an eyewitness." "Who was it?" "Wiley." "He told 'em that he saw Rooster running out of the back... after he heard the shot." "That was a lie, but who the fuck they gonna believe?" "Why Wiley lie to the policeman?" "Why?" "'Cause he's smart, I don't know." "We don't, uh-- we don't talk about that night." "Aw, Jack, I'm sorry." "Mom, I wanna go to sleep." "I know, sweetie." " Jack, please." " I'm sorry, come in." "Come in." "Come, Marty, come in." "Come on." "Right down here." "You'll get warm in a second, okay?" "Oh, God." "What you doing around so late?" "Come here." "You warm up, okay?" "I need to speak to Bailey." " Is he here?" " Yes, Bailey's here, yes." "Sleeping." "I went out all night drinking." "I can try to wake him up, you know?" " No, no, no." " No?" "Okay." "Well, come." "Come, I make you tea, coffee, something." "Come." "Come here." "Wiley's out of control." "He's so full of hate and drugs." "I feel responsible, in some awful way." "And it hurts, you know?" "Wiley was a man I was proud of." "Now he scares me to death." "You'll be safe here." "No." "No, if I stay here, it won't be safe for Bailey." "Why, what about Bailey now?" "It's complicated." "Bailey did something terrible when we were all kids." "Wiley covered for him." "Bailey was trying to protect Susan." "You know, he couldn't." "So, Wiley was the hero, huh?" "Yeah." "And the hero gets the girl, right?" "I thought it'd be okay, you know?" "I told myself I loved Wiley, but... the truth is..." "Go." "Go to Bailey." "I will be here." "Don't worry." "How you say?" "The dog who... watches, takes care?" "The watch dog." "Watch dog." "Thank you." "Good night." "Okay." " Where are they?" " I don't know." "Yeah, bullshit." "Where are they?" "Whoa, what are you doing?" "What the fuck are you doing?" "I have your money." "What money?" "Okay... $500 for this week, and $500 in advance." "Is okay?" "Huh?" "Yeah, okay." "Bailey's not here." "We had a fight." "He's probably ran away in some bar, drinking and... this moment probably is, like, how you say, plastered?" "Yeah." "Yeah, Bailey's shit-faced in his beer again, huh?" "Yeah." "What'd you fight about?" "Money." "He didn't want to pay you." "I know how business works." " You do?" " Mm-hmm." "How does it work, Napoleon?" "You do what you have to do." "Yeah, I like that." "What do you say we go find your friend Bailey?" "I have a better idea." "You're awake." "Am I?" "Why are you guys here?" "Wiley went crazy tonight." "Are you all right?" "He can still hurt you." "What are you talking about?" "I know about Rooster and Susan and Cabot Reed." "Wiley told me everything." "When?" "Right after it happened." "I'm sorry." "I fucked up so bad." "Nice house." "Yeah, Cabott really knew how to live, didn't he?" "Whew." "Your father liked to read, huh?" "You know, you're lucky." " I'm lucky?" " Yeah." "He left you... all these beautiful books." "You know what my father left me?" "Insults and abuse." "That's all he ever gave me, and my mother." "Till he made her drink herself to death." "And she left me alone in this fucking house." "So Bailey did you a favor, huh?" "What are you talking about?" "He told me." "He killed your father." "Yes?" "Fucking Bailey." "He was so scared when the gun went off, he pissed his pants running for his life." "He only grazed him." "I heard the gunshot from upstairs." "When I came down, I found him here." "He was holding his handkerchief to his head." "I tried to help him, you know?" "And he just shoved me away." "You know what he said to me?" "He said, "You think I wouldn't figure it out?" "You can't do anything on your own." "You can't even steal my money." "You had to send your friend Bailey in to do a man's job." "Pathetic loser."" "I told him I just" "I told him to shut the fuck up, but he kept it up." "He said he was-- he was gonna call the police, he was gonna have us both locked up." "I grabbed the gun." "I just" " I just" "I just wanted him to stop." "Fucking prick." "He said, "How are you gonna shoot a goddamn gun?" "A sorry fuck like you with no balls?" "How you gonna stand up and take what's yours?"" "I told him..." ""By squeezing the trigger, Dad." "That's how."" "You killed your father?" "Yeah." "The meek shall inherit the Earth, right?" "And Cabott Reed's fortune." "The only trouble is, I... kinda run it into the ground, you know?" "Maybe you need a partner." "To run the business." "Wake up, come on." "Are you listening to me, Bailey?" "Yep, what's going on?" "Will you be able to drive?" "Yes." " What's going on?" " You are leaving." "Oh, I'm leaving." "It's not that simple." "You sit behind the wheels, and you just drive away." "Simple." "Oh, "just drive away."" "Yes." "And what do I do for money?" "Okay." "Take that." "It's for you." "I don't know if you're a good guy or a fuckin' con artist." "I don't get you." "You're free." "You can go." "And what about Wiley?" "Don't worry about Wiley." "I will take care of him." "Trust me, you can go." "Dear Bailey..." "I'm so sorry for not saying good-bye." "You've been such a good brother." "How could I tell you I was dying?" "I got this skin cancer." "I think all those summers we spent on that crummy beach are to blame." "But..." "I didn't want to stay home and cry about it." "I needed to get away and see some of this world." "I'm in Paris." "I'm in love, and I'm living for both of us." "Please be happy, Bailey."
