"One, two, three." "Uno, due, tre." "Uno, due, tre." "One, two, three." "Well, congratulations!" "You are a guaranteed winner of one of three fabulous prizes." "What?" "Have you ever won anything major before?" "No, never." " Well, you have now." " Oh, my God!" " Yeah!" " Are you kidding?" "No, it's confirmed." "Are you sure?" "Okay, what did I win?" "Either the Chevy Blazer, the Paris..." "Do you have a water filtration system in your house?" "One of them faucet filters?" "No, sir." " Pretty sure about." " Do you read the papers or watch TV?" "Sometimes, yeah." "Well, you've probably seen our advertisements." "As I said, Irene, the government is going to make you pay a tax on the prize." "But if you buy the Waterson 2000 water filtration system, the prize is recorded as a sales expense and you don't pay any tax." " Good deal, huh?" " Yeah." "And then I get the trip..." "You are guaranteed one of those 3 prizes." "I am gonna have a courier come to your house, you are gonna give him a check, he is gonna come to me and then we will decide which one of those prizes you'll get." " Do you see how that works?" " And how much do I pay?" "398 dollars even." "You'd pay twice that in stores." " I need to speak to my husband." " You know what?" "Irene, my supervisor just stepped into my office and he would love to talk to you." "Can you hold just a sec?" "Thanks, Irene." " Good morning!" " Who says so?" "Irene Fisk." "She wants to talk to her husband first." "Mrs. Fisk, John Goodhew." "Regional vice-president." "Congratulations." "Which prize are you hoping for?" " Paris!" " That would be my choice, too." "We have never been there." "My associate tells me you have 5 grandkids." "Now I understand you would like to speak to your husband first about this and I can understand why." "The thing is, Irene, my secretary is having a baby this afternoon." "Everyone here at the office is about to bug out and head over to the hospital." "That is wonderful." "Now, let me confirm your address, so I can give it to our courier service." "All right." "Eat up some lunch?" "Spicy calamari." "Thai food." "Pygmies." "Hold, Otis, hush, hush." "Can I help you?" " Carolyn Shaffer?" " Yes." "I am agent Kellaway, this is agent Cole." "We are from the Federal Trade Commission." "Sorry to disturb you, we would like to ask you a few questions if we could." " Is everything all right?" " We hope so, madam." "Mrs. Shaffer, can you tell us exactly what the man said on the phone?" "He said that there'd been a contest and I'd won a prize." "That there would be a drawing next week and I would win either a Chevy Blazer, a diamond necklace or a trip to Italy, or France, I don't remember." "And if I bought one of their products, their filtration things," "I wouldn't have to pay the tax." " Jesus, Carolyn." " I wanted to surprise you." "I am sorry to tell you this, madam, but you won't be receiving any prize." "I am sorry to tell you that you have been the victim of fraud." "Otis, knock it off!" "It's not the newest swindle in the world, just new to some." "They bait you with something bogus, then sell you something worthless." "How much did you give them, Mrs. Shaffer?" "700 dollars." " What is it worth?" " Any hardware store they are about 50 bucks." "Jesus, Carolyn!" "But we've met people who paid twice what you did." "Really?" "You wrote a check, madam?" "Did you mail it to them?" "No, a courier picked it up." "What?" "Well, if they'd used the postal system then it's mail fraud and we can go after them." "Otherwise, there is not a lot we can do." "Unless..." "Unless what?" "Well, a lot of these whack jobs..." "They work in syndicates." "If they cashed your check out of the state, then it is federal, we can act." "But we would need a signed clearance from you for your bank to run a trace..." "I'll give you a clearance if they catch these sons of bitches." "We have any more of those L-47's?" "Maybe in the car." "Wait a second." "Here we go." " Use my pen." " I got one." "Would you let him out!" "Sorry." "All we need is the name of your bank, your account number" "and your signature down below." " Any luck these guys were amateurs." " You alright?" "Cashed the check in Nevada." "Sign right there." "And you can date it." "Here you go." " You alright?" " He is fine." " Thank you both very much." " What a glass of water?" "Everything is fine." "Let's go." "Thank you for coming." "You didn't take your pills, did you?" "They left the door open." "It was bitchen." "It is just an open door, Roy." "Well, it is not a fortune." "But it'll keep me in diapers." "Barely." "Don't look at those drapes, man." "You should've known." "I saw that guy again last night." "Chuck." "The guy I was telling you about, with the..." "With the boat?" "Yeah, Frechette." "Man, he's top-heavy." "Jesus Christ, Roy..." " Don't say that." " Don't say what?" "You know what." "Just don't say it." "It is real money, Roy." "If it is real money, it is long con." "I don't do long con." "Well, you haven't done it lately." "Without me, Frank." "Okay." "I'd just like to be all that, you know, taking a girl someplace nice once in a while." "You have to pay extra for that?" "Hi." "3, 4, 5, 6." "and... 8 packs of Tareyton." "That is 36." "Out of 50." "37, 38, 39, 40, and 10." "It's 50." "Thank you." "Next!" "Uno, due, tre." "Pygmies." "Yeah, hi, this is Roy Waller calling for Dr. Mancuso." " He moved." " What?" "He doesn't live here anymore, man." " What do you mean "moved"?" " He is gone." "He's got out." "You gotta be shitting me." "Where did he go?" " He moved back East." " What do you mean back East?" "He owes me back rent, man." "Give me a contact..." "Hello?" "If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again." "Roy, it's me, Frankie." "Roy, this is Dimitrij." "I met you at that club Rage the other night." "I really liked your..." "Roy, come on, man, come on." "Roy, I wouldn't bother you, but I am dying." "It is my spleen." "I can feel my thumbs." "Roy, answer the phone, man." "I've been watching Univision all night and all they speak is Spanish." "What is going on?" "I want to talk to you because I think I've developed a rush." "Come on, man, it might be killing me." "Roy, come on, what the hell?" "I feel like a chick." "That's it, I am coming over." "Roy?" "I see that." "I saw you." "Come on, Roy, really, man." "1, 2, 3." "Take your shoes off." " What?" "Why?" " Take your shoes off or you don't come in." "You didn't take your pills, did you?" "I'm taking them off." "Come on, man, I am taking the shoes off." " Give me a break over here." " Okay." "Jesus Christ!" "Oh, my God, what is that smell?" "What, did you get attacked by Mr. Clean?" "1, 2, 3." "Roy, you gotta open a window, buddy." "No, no windows." "Okay, windows are closed." "You are looking for something, sucker?" "My partner, have you seen him?" "He has been missing most of the week." "Togly looking guy?" "Would you watch the rug?" "You are spilling food..." " You didn't take your shoes off!" " Okay, I am taking the shoes off." "Okay, buddy, I am taking them off." "See, they're off." "Shoes are off." "Here you go." "Oh, man, you are bad." " Did you take your pills?" " I spilled them down the drain by accident." "Oh, Roy, come on, man." "Did you call Mancuso?" " He moved." " He moved?" "You gotta be shitting me." "That is what I said." "Okay, here we go." "Come on, let's go." "It is okay." "It's okay." "Try to breathe." "Just keep breathing." "Okay." "The shoes..." "There you go." "Don't forget the food." "What?" "Okay, food is gone." "I am getting all the food." "Listen to me, Roy." "You listenin'?" "I'll make a couple of calls." "My aunt saw this shrink after her divorce." "He really helped her, he is a good guy." "Frank." "Hey, Roy, you need to see someone." "Okay?" "Don't think I am doing this just for you, you know." "You got money, you can retire." "I got car payments, man." "I don't need a partner who's like..." "My heart goes out to you, but this is it now, I gotta make some..." "Would you wipe that thing off when you are done with it?" "Wipe the receiver." "Wipe it off." "How is that?" "You like that?" "How's that?" "Okay, I am sorry." "Do you mind if I put them up?" "It helps my back." " Go ahead." " Excellent." "You are something of a clean slate, Roy." "This says you were on medication but you don't know what kind." "Yeah, good." "They were these little pink tablets." "I think that it said CRSR." "Something like that." "You were getting them illegally?" "Yes, I was getting them illegally, so what?" "Why?" "So I wouldn't have to talk to someone like you." "Do you know what they were?" "Yes, and at the dosage you say you were taking," "I'd say you are lucky to be sitting up straight." "That is great." "Can you get me some more of them?" "You certainly get to the point." "And you skirt it, so can you get me the pills or not?" " Yes." " Well, then let's get that prescription pad out." "Roy, usually I don't prescribe medicine unless I have had a little chat with the patient first." "If you're inclined against that, the session will be quite brief." "Would you like to tell me what's been bothering you?" "I don't like being outdoors, which I know is called agoraphobia, right?" "Incorrectly, but... yes." " Anything else?" " Dirt." "Especially around moldings." "I don't like when people put shoes on my carpet." "Obviously I have a lot of ticks." "I am very frustrating to say the least." "Certain things distract me, make me feel sick to my stomach." "Have these distractions affected your work of late?" "Your personal relationships?" "What personal relationships?" "When was the last time you were in one?" "You know, relationship." "With a woman?" "A long time ago." "Five years?" " Ten years?" " Keep going, man." "What was her name?" "Heather." "Were you married?" "Kids?" "Maybe." "You haven't seen her since?" "Look, she left me with a black eye, which I gave her, and a bun in the oven, which might have come from anyone." "So, no, I haven't." "Look, doc, I spent last Tuesday watching fibers on my carpet." "And the whole time I was watching my carpet" "I was worrying that I might vomit." "And the whole time I was thinking:" ""I'm a grown man," "I should know what goes on in my head."" "And the more I thought about it the more I realized that I should just blow my brains out and end it all." "But then I thought if I thought more about blowin' my brains out," "I started wondering about what the hell I was gonna do to my goddamn carpet." "That was a good day, doc." "And I just want you to gimme some pills and let me get on with my life." " Roy?" " What?" " He just gave them to you?" "At the office?" "He said they were new." "Prefex something-or-other." " You feel better?" " A little." "You want to work some?" "Do you think you can control the..." "What?" " What city, please?" " Woodland Hills, California." " Name, sir?" " Fenton, Heather." " Can you spell that?" " F-E-N..." "Hi, that's you and this is me." "Leave the message after the beep." " Hello, this is..." " Hello?" "You know, we fought a lot." "About what?" "What do you got?" "I wasn't sober a lot then." "Are you now?" "So some nights she just didn't come home." "She was pregnant 2 months before she even told me about it." "Do you think about her much?" "You know, what could have been, what might have been." " And the baby?" " If there is a baby." "Do you think about that?" "Sometimes, rarely, you know." "If I see a school bus or..." "I wonder: "Is one of those kids Roy Jr.?"" "If he is a he." "Would be how old now?" "He would be fourteen." "Fourteen." "Ready to be a man." "Yeah." "If he is a he." "If he is at all." "Congratulations." "You bought yourself a week's worth." "Thanks." "Listen, doc." "Do you know of a way..." "Just to find out, you know." "There is nothing wrong, Roy, with a man telephoning his ex-wife." "I tried that last night." "I couldn't say a word." "So could you call her?" " I don't know, Roy..." " Please, just to find out." "Now?" "No, after I am gone." "When you can." " Okay." " That is great." "Thank you." " So I am going to see you on Tuesday." " Why?" "I have the meds." "I guess that is your call." "Take care." "Roy, this is Dr. Klein." " I..." " Hello!" "Listen, I just got off the phone with Heather." " We had a really nice conversation." " Does she want to speak with me?" "No, she doesn't." "I am sorry." "She didn't understand it might help with your therapy." "You told her I was in therapy?" "No, I told her I'm a psychiatrist." "I can't lie, Roy." " Angela wants to talk to you, though." " Who?" "Angela, your daughter." "She knows you are her father and she says she really wants to meet you." "Shit." " Angela?" " You're Roy?" "Yeah." " So you are fourteen?" " Yep." "So when did you get out?" " What?" " Of prison." "I've never been in prison." "Your mom tell you that?" "At first she told me you were dead." " Then she said you might as well be." " I'm not dead." "I am in antiques." "Yeah, that is what the doctor said." "On the phone." "When he said that mom started to laugh." "You hungry?" "Do you mind eating?" "It is just I feel better somewhere indoors." "I get uncomfortable sometimes being outside." " Really?" " Yeah." " You are staring." " Sorry." "It is okay." "I used to do it, too." "Looked at your pictures and see if I got your nose, your eyes." "Mom used to say I got lucky and only got your elbows." "Thought you weren't hungry." "When you are gonna get wet, might as well go swimming." "So you are in school, right?" "Not now, it's summer." "Yeah, okay, that's right." "School is very important." "If I had anything to do over again," "I would work harder in school." "You drop out?" "That is how you ended up a criminal?" "It is okay, you know." "Whatever you do." "Everybody has done something bad in their life." "I am in antiques." "If you make it a career, it's just a bunch of something you strung together." "Cut the shit, okay?" "I am not a criminal." " I'm sorry." " What?" "What was that word you used?" "Shit?" "I'm not supposed to talk like that." "I have things the certain way." "Wait, wait." "That is her car in the driveway." "Got to stop here." "Maybe we can go bowling sometime." "This is my private line." "My mom got it for me for my birthday." "Because my friend Carrie kept calling after midnight." "Here you go." "Nice to meet you, dad." "Nice to meet you, dad." "Go!" "What's more important than family?" "Then what could be more important than purifying the water that your family drinks?" "The Waterson 2000 offers you the cleanest filtration system available today." " Mr. Schlickling, can you hold on just one moment?" " Okay." "Thank you." "What?" "What is going on with you?" "You switch shampoos or something?" "Those pills working?" "Yeah, alright." "I am glad one of us is happy." "How much do you think we can take that guy for?" "Chuck, with the boat." "You're serious?" "I figure out I owe you one." "Oh, man, that's great." "Mr. Schlicklicker?" "Hi, I am sorry, you waited too long, no prize for you." "That's awesome, man." "Sorry." " Where did you find him?" " Spearmint Rhino." "Watched him drop couple of G's there a month ago." " Spearmint Rhino." " Yeah, it is a gentlemen's..." " I know what it is." " It is right here." " What does he do?" " Import-export." " What is his last name?" " Frechette, Chuck Frechette." " How do you spell that?" " F, R..." "I don't know." " He is from Downey." " He's not connected, is he?" "No, he and the mob are like this..." " Son of a bitch didn't even tip." " I figure on short notice, he could scratch up at least thirty grand." "More." "We'll put the Jamaican switch on him." "He knows you, so you're rope, I'm inside." "Do you think he knows anything about international finance?" "Are you whispering?" " Why are you whispering?" " I am?" " Hi, safety deposit box, please." " Sure." "Hi, I would like to access to my safety deposit box 366, please." "Certainly, Mr. Waller." "Signature and pass code, please." " Would you like a booth?" " No, thanks, I will be fine." "Sterling versus dollar." "For some people money is... money is a foreign film without subtitles." " Hello?" " Hey." " Frank." " Where do you want to meet, sexy?" " What do you mean, "where"?" "Where else?" " The Rhino." " Okay." " One hour." " You don't wanna get there early?" "I got to go." "Remember me?" " You just in the neighborhood?" " Took the bus." "Do you think I can come in a sec?" "One, ..." "Nice." "It is nice, your place." "Could you watch the carpet, please?" "Sorry." " Could you please take your shoes off?" " Oh, yeah." " Sorry." " So..." " What's going on?" " Mom and I had sort of a fight." "It happens once in a while." "I usually take off for a day or two to let her calm down." ""Take off"?" "Normally I go to Carrie's." "Only her family is on vacation." "And I thought, since we seemed to hit it off so well last time," "I could..." "I can sleep on your couch." "You wanna stay here?" "I could pay you back by cleaning up." "Or something." "You wear those to read?" "Your glasses?" " What?" " They make you look kinda old." "No." "These are for..." "I gotta go." "I got a big business meeting." " This late?" " Antiques, they wait for no man." "Is it all right if I leave you here alone?" "Sure, I'll just watch TV." "You don't have a TV?" " Seriously, you don't have a TV?" " There is a couch." "If you want to sit." "Or over there, if you prefer." "Or the couch." "You want me to pick you up something on the way back?" "Like, what is it?" "Ice cream." "Sure." "New York Super Fudge Chunk." "That is my favorite flavor." " New York..." " Super..." "Fudge..." "Chunk." "Chocolate, yeah, okay, now listen." "Don't open the door for anybody, right?" "Okay." "One, two, three." " Bob, it is good to see you." " Arden, hope I didn't keep you." "Over there." "He missed you coming in." "What?" "Over there, he missed you coming in." "Hey, Kate, can I get a beer?" "Heineken." " Sure." " Thanks." " That'd do the trick?" " Let's sit." "I told you'd like it here." "No way." "Here you go, sweetie." " Love your shoes, girl." " Thank you, baby." "Hey, Bob." "Hey, Chuck." "I didn't know you were here." "Chuck Frechette, this is Arden." "Hiya!" "I got a little business here, would you mind..." "Yeah." "Sure, Bob." "I didn't mean to..." "Sorry." "I'll be over at the bar." " Nice meeting you." " Thanks, man." "Great." "That's fish in a barrel." "He is piqued." "You good to go?" " Does the Pope poo in the woods?" " Just say yes!" " I'll see you, Bob." " I'll see you in the morning, Arden." "Hi." "Big night planned." "It is not for me." "Right." "That's 12,73." "Out of 15." "13, 14, 15." "You've got kids overnight?" "Roy?" "Why did mom leave you?" " You'd have to ask her that." " I did." "She said she didn't want to talk about it." "Called you names." "That's why we got in a fight." "She said you were a bad guy." "You don't seem like a bad guy." "That's what makes me good at it." "Well, I don't think you are a bad guy." "Good night." "Good night." "Somebody is getting here!" "This is disrespectful!" "Disrespectful!" " Come on." " One, two, three." "I wish you could have been there." "I reeled him in, man." "Haleluiah, you a got a chick in there?" "What are you doing?" "What's that hubbub?" "The second you left the place, he was off his barstool." "He is in." "He wants to meet tonight." "Push it till tomorrow." "Let his greed meet his imagination." "Morning." "Good morning." "I made you eggs." "That's okay." "Who was the guy who came by earlier?" "A business associate." "What was his name?" "Frank." "How come you didn't want him to see me?" "Well, it is not that I don't want him to see you." "It's..." "Don't you think you should eat eggs for breakfast?" "It's healthy." "I don't like eggs." "Anyway, all you've got here is tuna." "Lots and lots of tuna." "And one TV dinner?" "TV dinners are cool." "You should get the TV to go with them." "Like tuna fish." "Hi, mom." "No." "No." "So if I am?" "So?" "He is my father." "I don't care." "I don't care." "I will if I want." "No." "I know." "Okay, I promise." "Okay, bye." "She mad?" "At me, not you." "She said she was gonna call the police." "Oh, God." "But now she just wants me home in time for summer school." "When does that start?" "Monday." "Today is Thursday." "It is okay, isn't it?" "Three, four..." "Here you go." "You've got stains on your carpet." "Is that what you were thinking about?" "Stains on my carpet?" "You can sit up." "Yeah, carpet stains and that I have a fourteen-year old girl" "I barely know living in my house." "Trust me, they're not so difficult, kids." "Most of all you have to make sure they eat their vegetables, don't stay up too late, don't watch too much TV." "Otherwise just try to be as honest and open with them as possible." "As honest and open as possible." "Right?" "Right." "The line for that one's shorter." "No, this one is better." "Dad, hurry, hurry." "Pygmies." "Spaghetti, right?" "Spaghetti." "Copy times." "Copy times." "You know, the chefs in Italy say you can tell the spaghetti is ready, if you throw it and it sticks." "Voila." "Beer." "Cheers." "I don't know." "No sauce to go over it?" "Spaghetti ayoyo." "And it's got basil leaves in there." "See the leaves?" "Enjoy it." " Walters?" " Waller, keep the change." "I'm happy now." "Arden, sure you don't want something?" "No, thanks, I gotta fly in 2 hours." "Where you off to?" "Phoenix, a client's setting up a founding account to bridge the pound and euro." "And I've got to hold his hand." " Hon, would you please heat this up for me a little?" " There you go." " That bad, huh?" " Yeah." "For some folks, money is a foreign film without subtitles." "Anyway to the business at hand." " To the business at hand." " I have one rule, Chuck, simple is safe." "I am gonna tell you as little as possible about me and what I do, but as much as I need to to make you comfortable with what we're doing." "What are we doing?" "5000 pounds sterling." "One of the perks of working in the exchange program at a bank." "Whose is it?" "No one's in particular." "Just a little money I unaccounted for, floating on top the books like a layer of cream." "And he just scoops it off." "It is a little more..." "Bob." "It is a little more complicated than that, but again: simple is safe." "Why not keep the money yourself?" "As a bank employee any attempt I make to change currency is recorded and questioned." "Bob has a record." "You, on the other hand, no one bats an eye." "Now, I hope you have something for me." "Five grand American." "Congratulations." "At today's exchange rate, you just made" " 2 thousand..." " 567 dollars." " I looked it up on the Internet." " He is fast." "That Internet thing is fad." " I can't figure it out." " Neither can I, but my daughter's a wiz at it." " You have a daughter?" " Two. 15 and 12." "Wonderful, I have a fourteen-year-old." "It's a riot, huh?" "Little training bras hanging from the shower rods." "Yeah, and everything smells like gum." "It does." "How do you get them out of the house?" "Because mine just sits at home all day." "Summer is the worst." "That is crazy." "That is wild." "He sounds like flake." "Let me ask you something, Arden." "How much could you do this for?" "Hypothetically." "As a rule, we never go north of ten." "How much could you get your hands on?" " A lot." " All right." "Put it there." " Let's play ball." " Chuck, baby, give me some sugar." " See you later?" " Yeah." " Peace, two fingers." " Peace?" " Asshole!" " Didn't tip him?" "Did it again." " Ticket, please." " He is a jackass." "See you, jackass." "I thought we were out 2 grand for a second." "You gotta spend money if you want to make money." "But you gotta make it to spend it, brother." ""Everything smells like gum?"" "What was that about?" "It is easier if I show you." "Angela!" "Angela, I am back." "Angela, Frank's here." "Angela!" "She is not here." "She must've gone back to her mom's." "On The Student Bopper Hillary says: "I am single, baby."" " Where does she usually go?" " I don't know." "This is no good, Roy." "It is no good for you, it's no good for us." "It's got nothing to do with us." " Pygmies!" " Yeah." " That is bad news, man." " You don't have to put it like that." "Where have you been?" "Nowhere." "Where did you go?" "I just went out." "I went to the arcade, it's only like a half-mile away." "It's stuffy in here." "This place smells like Lysol." "Where the hell were you?" "I want to know right now or I am calling your mother." "I just told you, I went to the arcade." "Why'd you sneak back in?" "That is how I left." "I don't have keys to lock the door." "So you didn't see my car?" "Jeez, you are worse than mom." "Angela, listen." "I am glad I met you, I am glad we met, I really am." "But I've got a business and I've got a partner." "And I've got things a certain way." "And that is it." "So I think it would be better... for you most of all, if tomorrow morning I took you back home." "What did I do wrong?" "You didn't do anything wrong." "I just went out." "God." "I didn't even drink or get high." "I didn't take any money from your stupid dog." "So what, you never heard of a bank?" "That was wrong what you did and you are a nosy parker." "And that is no way for a young lady to behave." "And..." "Shame on you!" "Angela." "Sweetheart." "Angela, I wasn't kicking you out." "I don't want to stay where I'm not wanted." "That is not that I don't want you." " Fooled me." " Will you stop?" "Let me go." "You just don't want me going home to mom saying she was right all along." "Stop!" "You are just same like one of her boyfriends." "I'm just something you have to deal with in order to screw her." "Angela, please." "You know that it is not true." "Even they tell me what they do for a living." "Oh, yeah, antiques dealers always keep large stacks of cash in their homes right next to their guns." "Okay, okay." "Alright?" "I am sorry." "It is just..." "I'm not..." "I'm not very good at being a dad." "I am just..." "I barely get by being me." " Come on, sweetheart, please..." " Don't!" "Come on back home with me." "We're gonna have a big pizza again." "You can stay the whole weekend if you want, alright?" "Why do you have a gun?" " In case..." " In case what?" "It's hard to explain." "Waller." "Keep the change." " Bullshit!" " No, no bullshit." "And watch your language at the table." " You are a con man?" " Con artist." "Flim-flam man." "Matchstick man." "Loser." "Whatever you want to call it." "Take your pick." "And that guy, Frank?" "He is my partner." "My protégé." " Teach me something." " What?" "Teach me something, a con." " You are funny." " No, really." "Teach me something." " I am not teaching you anything." " Why not?" "Because you're a bright, innocent, beautiful girl and I'm not gonna screw that up like everything else." "Really?" "What?" "You think that?" "That I am beautiful?" "No." "Then why won't you?" " Because crime doesn't pay?" " No, it does." "It does, but just not very well." " You seem to be doing okay by it." " I am not." "Believe me." "It is no fun doing what I do." "A lot of the time it's stealing from people who don't deserve it." "Old people, fat people, lonely." "A lot of the time I feel sick about it." "Then why do you do it?" "I'm not as innocent as you think, you know." "I have done stuff with boys." "I've done stuff with boys, if I told you" " you'd probably throw up right here." " Then don't tell me." " Then teach me something." " No, final." "At the Christmas dance last year, I went with this boy, Jash Word." "He's cute and I really, really liked him." "I'm not listening." "And after the dance, we went to Carrie's and we went upstairs and he pushed me up against the bed." " I'm not listening." " And he took his hand..." "No, alright?" "Okay, I'll show you." "I'll show you one thing." "All right?" "Thank you, thank you!" "And then you're never gonna do it again." "You are gonna forget it." "Agreed?" "Holy Mary." "Rule number one:" "never work near where you live." "Don't shit where you..." "Rule number two:" "don't write anything down." "Stay in the car." "Okay?" "Would you stay in the car?" "Yesterday's winners 6, 18, 30, 49, 60" "I'd like to play this for the drawing on the twenty-second." "You know the odds of the same numbers hitting in the same month?" "Same numbers hitting ever?" "That's why I changed one." "You're wasting your dollar." "You are his financial advisor?" "No." "You are a cashier at a convenience store." "Take his dollar and give him a ticket for the twenty-second." " Are you ready for this?" " I was born ready." "I'm glad I missed that day." "Okay." "The most important thing you have to understand about this game is:" "ninety percent of it is variable." "No matter how good your plan is, you almost always get thrown a curveball." "So you've got to be flexible." "Prepared to roll with anything." "The one..." "Just the two." "The one thing you can control, though, is who your mark is." "Now, never play somebody who's not buying what you're selling." "You're thinking: "Daddy, daddy, what am I selling?"" "Well, what're you selling is you." "The older the better." "But beware of couples." "You don't want anyone whispering in your mark's ear but you." "And, for God's sake, make sure the person you're conning isn't conning you." "That's good, alright." "Let's go kick some butt." " This taken?" " No." "Are you sure?" "You've got a lot." "This is nothing." "You oughta catch me during Little League season." "Three boys." "Any of them cute?" "Simon is about your age, but you'd never guess, he is so hyper." "I'm gonna get a soda." "Do you want anything?" "No, thanks, honey." "Oh, honey, you dropped something." " Not mine." " Are you sure?" "You gotta be eighteen to play." "It looks like somebody put it through the wash by accident." "It is yesterday's drawing." "That looks like the second, don't you think?" "Probably a loser." "We should at least see if it hit." "Excuse me, sir." "Could we borrow your paper for a sec?" "We are just looking for lottery results." "Yeah, okay." "It is Metro, isn't it?" "Thanks." "Let's see." "Yep, there it is." "Okay, ready?" " 6, 18, 30, 49..." " Wait. 6, 18, what?" "Sorry." " 30, 49, 60." " Missed by one." "You are joking." "Story of my life." " Any luck?" " No." "Four out of five, can you believe that?" "Four out of five?" "Four out of five pays." " It does?" " Sure." "Call the number on the back of the ticket." "Well, thanks." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "What did they say?" "We won 600 dollars." "Holy shit." " Couple of winners." " The woman on the phone said that all we have to do is to take it down for verification." "And then they'll mail me a check." "In fact we should call your mom and we can all go down there together." "You know, it is okay." "I'm supposed to be home anyway." "No, no, no." "We are in this fifty-fifty." "Good girl." "Watch the cameras." "That's it." "300 dollars." "Don't spend it all at the coin-op." "Hide it when you get home." " Bye." " Bye." "Did I do good?" "You did..." "You did very good." "Very, very, very good." "See, mom is wrong." "I didn't just get your elbows." "Yeah." "Well..." "There is one last thing." "What?" "I want you to give her the money back." "What?" "Look, I told you that I would teach you a con," "I didn't say I'd let you get away with it." "What am I supposed to say?" "Well, judging by that last performance," "I am sure you'll think of something." "This is so..." "I would not be a responsible father if I let you get away with this." "Let's go!" "I mean it is strange, two weeks ago this was ancient history." "Now, all the sudden" "I have a daughter." "And I'm not scared shitless." "That is good, isn't it?" " It is however you feel about it, Roy." " Yeah." "Yes, it is wonderful." "Don't take this too literally, but you have been closing doors for a long time." "It is good to see you start opening some again." "What?" "I took Angela along with me over the weekend." "Selling a piece." "And sometimes in my business you have to create a value for something which really isn't there." "And, you know, some people call it sales, but other people call it..." "Lying." "Right, which is a little gee." "And I was exactly sure how Angela was gonna go for it." "But she took right to it." "Like a duck to water." "She took right to it." "She even helped out." "You know." "This fourteen-year-old girl working these people with me." "Working them, doc." "You regret it?" "Exposing her to that?" "Her seeing that side of you?" "You know." "It was just a little..." "It made me feel little..." "I really liked it." "I really did." "It was the best time we've had together." "Alright." " Fabulous cup trick." " Liked it?" "He wants to fly the money straight to the Caymans." "Afraid he might get robbed." "As if somebody would do that." "When is his flight?" "Friday." "What do you think?" "About what?" "The hat?" "It's a little Dwight Yoakam around the edges." "Don't you think?" "You're calling attention to yourself." "You're calling attention to yourself." "Chicks dig you." "So, where do you think?" "Where do you want to do it?" "There." "I am here." "He sits there back to the bar." "Back to the bar." "It's important." "Otherwise we blow it off." "Okay." " Who's the drunk gonna be?" " Ernie." "Hobo Ernie?" "Yeah, homeless Ernie." "He is a little over the top, isn't he?" "For fifty bucks, you know, it is hell of a bargain." "Okay, okay." " There is only one problem." " What?" "I think I am in love with you." "Do not..." "Do not do that." "That is embarrassing." "Just stop." " Does it turn you on?" " No, it doesn't turn me on." "Stop." "Here you go." "Where's that cute little girl of yours?" "She went home to her mom's." "Summer school." "She is a cute one." "Must be lonesome without her." " I'll see you tomorrow." " Okay." " Hi." " Hello." "It is Kathy, right?" "Yeah." " I am Roy." " Hi, Roy." " How are you?" " I'm doing alright." "Hi, dad, it's me." "I just wanted to say hi." "Summer school sort of sucks." "It's okay, so I get out at noon on Wednesday." "I'll meet you in the front if you want." "Okay, bye." "Hi, dad, it's me." "I just wanted to say hi." " How perv..." " Get in the car." "What would you like to do today, little girl?" " Mom wants me home by dinner." " You'll be back by dinner." "What would you like to do?" "What?" " I own you." " Oh, yeah?" "Just have to see about that." "I'll show you a little something I learnt in Taiwan." "What?" "Dad, the first thing you need to understand about this game is ninety percent of it is knocking down at least one pin." "Oh, is that right?" "Is that right?" "Not now." " Let me bowl for you?" " Yeah." "I'll just be a couple of minutes." " You'll be alright?" " Yeah." "All right." "This better be pretty important." "I am with my daughter." " There is bad news." "He bumped it up." " What?" "He bumped it up." "You gotta do it today." " I thought it wasn't until Friday." " I thought it was Friday, too." "But he changed it." " We gotta do it now." " Well, tell him." "What am I gonna tell him, Roy?" "We can't postpone it." "He is leaving for the Caymans for a month." "We gotta do it now, or we'll lose him." "There is no time." "I gotta get the money, I gotta change," "I gotta get Ernie." "I know, I know." " We have no choice." " What time is his flight?" "Roy?" " Roy?" " Shit." "Your turn." "I am sorry, I gotta take you home." "I can't." "I just can't." "I can't do this." "There is no time." "I can't even take you home." " Do you want me to take the bus?" " No, no, shit!" "Is it a job?" "Can I help?" "Get in." "I thought you said you kept all your money in the dog." "That's just my piggy bank." "I want you to wait here." "Safety deposit box, please." "Of course." "I would like to access safety deposit box 366." "Signature, pass code, please." " Why can't I see?" " Because it's secret." "Then why does she get to?" "Can I add an access signature to my account?" " Certainly." " Thanks." " Sign here." "And here." " Do it." "So now, can I get into whatever it is?" "No, you don't have the pass code." " And when do I get that?" " When I'm dead." "You wait here." "I mean it!" " Booth?" " No, no booth." " So, how much is in there?" " I told you." "No, in there." "300 000?" "500 000?" "A million?" "Oh, my God." " How did you get that money?" " I've been doing this a long time." "Why aren't you..." "Why don't you go live in Hawaii?" " Why don't you go buy Hawaii?" " I told you," "I don't like the outdoors." "You know what to do, right?" "Just keep real far away from us." "Anything goes off, you get outta there." "Yeah." "Gold wedding ring, sweetheart." "Thank you." " These still make me look old?" " Old and rich." "You remember your cue, right?" " That is your cue." "Then you enter." " I know." "Let's do this." "And just in case, take this, will you?" "Stop worrying about me." "I'm barely even doing anything." " Does she have any sister?" " I don't know." " Arden, are you okay?" " It's my back." "I strained it last night." " Oh, man, I told you, you gotta do yoga." " I was doing yoga." "Do you mind if I sit there?" "The high back helps." " Not at all." " Thank you." "Oh, Lord." " How are both of you?" " Fabulous." "So, who goes first?" "I suppose ladies do." "The Queen before Ben Franklin." " That's 80 000?" " Yeah." " It looks like a lot less than I thought." " It always does." "Always does." "Sorry, had to check." "As long as you don't mind." "No, do your worst." "Did you count it?" "Gentlemen, looks like we have a trade." " God bless America." " Land I love." "Enjoy the Caymans and don't get too much sun." "Come on, I am twenty-one." "My ID is in my luggage." "My plane doesn't leave for another thirty minutes!" "Gimme a goddamn beer!" "Don't touch me!" "You touch me, I'll break every glass in this place." "Hey, airport bartender." "Hope she isn't on my flight." "Speaking of which, it is about that time." "So?" " Who goes first?" " You do." "You just get up and take your new briefcase with you." "When I leave, I'll take my new gym bag." " Simple is safe." " Simple is safe." "Guys..." " Have a safe flight." " Thank you." " Take care, Chuck." " Let's do this again some time." "You've my word on that." "Go with him." "Walk him to the plane." " Walk him to the what?" " Walk him to the plane." "They won't let you do this security check." "Then walk him to the security check." "Go!" "Now!" "Did you see that old chick at the bar?" "With all the makeup?" " Yeah, I saw her." " She almost died when I threw that glass." "So what happened?" "You take him?" " Yep." " The whole eighty?" "My dad is a smooth operator." "Dad, I thought about it." "We should give the money back." "I'd feel better." "Just kidding." " Do I get a cut?" " You ask Frank for his." "Dad!" "Get out of it!" "Get out of the car!" "You stupid little rat." "Give me my money back." "Give me my money." "Roll up the window!" "You stupid little..." "Get down." "Get down." "Roll up the window!" "You piece of shit!" "Goddamn it!" "In this situation it's very important to remain calm." "Sorry." "Which one?" "Which one?" "The middle one." "That one." "That one!" "Come on." "Move it!" " Can I get a receipt?" " Okay." "I'll get you receipt." "I want a hamburger, Julia, I saved the receipt." "You saved the recipe for a hamburger?" "Come on!" "Well, I understand that, sir." "Breathe." "Breathe!" "You have a great day, sir." " Keep the change, okay?" " I'm not allowed to accept gratuity." " It's not gratuity." "It is kindness." " No, sir." "Thank you for being kind so, but we are not allowed." "Please, take the change." " Let's go." "Let's go." " Five, six, seven..." "Dad, he is coming!" "There he go." "He is coming!" "Are you out of your mind?" "Excuse me?" "Stay in the car." "What is wrong?" " I'm sorry." " Stay in the car." "Hiya, cutie-pie." "Where did you get the..." "What did you do?" "What did you do?" " I told you I..." " I said walk him to the flight!" "Did you?" "Did you walk him to the plane?" "I told you, security." "You can't get to the gate without a ticket." "Did you see him go through security?" "My daughter was there today." " I'm not the one who..." " What?" "I said I am not the one who pimped her into the grift." "And don't tell me I'm the one who put her at risk." "She put us at risk." "How?" " What if he goes to the cops?" " He won't." "They never do." "What if he does?" "Then he'd have to explain what he was doing with a briefcase with eighty thousand dollars cash in it and a ticket to the Caymans." "Okay?" "We are not on the books." "We are safe." "I know we are." "What about her?" " Angela's never been arrested." "All right?" " You don't know that." "Turn it off." "All right." "Tell him, Angela, and let's get this over with." "Tell him you are clean." "You have never been arrested, have you?" "That is terrific!" "That is great!" "That is beautiful." "Frank!" "Here is the money." "Gimme a call." "Jesus Christ." "You're fourteen." "You're 14." "When did you have time to get arrested?" "I forgot to pay for a pack of gum once." "That's it." "So they called the cops on you for a pack of gum." "And some other stuff." "I might've put up a fuss when security..." "Angela!" "The guard was groping me, he was grabbing at my chest." "What was I supposed to do?" " How long ago?" " Last year." "And they photographed you?" "They printed you?" "Move your leg." "You know." "I have all of August off." "I was thinking I could come visit you." "Or we could take a trip even." "Oh, in September is father's visiting day at school." "It's kind of lame, but..." "You know, I am gonna be gone for the next couple of months." "Frank and I have some out-of-town work, so..." "When do you think you'll be back?" "I don't know, actually." " Maybe when you get back..." " Okay, look." "You're getting in the way." "Okay?" "You know." "For..." "Frank and I are partners." "Okay?" "And he says you're gone." "So you are gone." "All right?" "I thought it maybe can work out but it can't." "It doesn't." " All right." "Come on." " I feel sick." "Just get out of the car." "Come on." "Let's go." "Come on." " Go!" " I don't want to go." "Go!" "Angela!" "Move!" "Get out of the car." "Your mother is going to be waiting for you." "Let's go." "Go!" "And don't ever call me again." "Okay?" "Don't!" "What's that?" "What's that?" "!" "I got it for you at the airport." "I paid for it." " Why did you even call me?" " Okay, Angela." "I'm sorry." "Angie, I am sorry." "I am sorry." "Come back in the car." "Come on." "I am sorry." "Okay?" "I'm sorry." "You're not a bad guy." "You know." "You're just not a very good one." "Hey, Roy." "Pick it up." "Pick it up." "Hello?" " You alright?" " Yeah, what's look like?" "You hungry?" "No." "Do you want to meet?" "We still got Chuck's money to split." " What time is it?" " It's almost three." " Taking your pills?" " Hold on a second." "Pygmies!" "Roy?" " Medical Group." " Yes." "Dr. Klein, please." "I'm sorry, Dr. Klein is unavailable." "Dr. Wiley is on call, if you'd like me to page him for you." "That is very good, thank you." "Actually no." "I gotta talk to Klein." "Is there a way that I can get ahold of him?" "I am sorry Dr. Klein is gone for the weekend." "Where did he go?" "Okay, look, look." "Listen." "I need a new thing of pills." "Actually, are you at his office now?" " I am sorry, sir,..." " Oh, shit." "Sorry, my phone is dying." "Yes, sir." "If this is a medical emergency," "I recommend you contact your local hospital..." "Can you help me?" "Is there a way you can help me help you help me, so that I can get in his office?" "Mr. Smatton, don't forget to drink plenty of water with that." "Thanks." " Excuse me." "Hi." " I'll be right with you, sir." "Hi, I need a refill of this." "I don't have a prescription..." " Sir, please wait your turn." " I know." "I know." "But this is an emergency." "Hey, buddy." "Ever heard of a line?" "Have you ever been dragged onto the sidewalk and beaten until you pissed blood?" "!" "Listen, I'm sorry." "I really need..." "Thank you, yes." "Thank you." "Thank you." " I need a refill of this." " Do you have a prescription?" "No, but see." "My doctor, my shrink, he gave me these and they are samples of..." "Damm it!" "I can't remember the name." "Prefex, Prefex something." "I'm sorry, sir." "Without a prescription there is nothing I can do." "Okay, but you see, I have the packet." "So I am clearly allowed to have them." "I just need four or five of them to cover me for the weekend." "Let me see it." "Thank you." "And I am sorry, sir." " These are supplements." " What?" "These packet contains supplements, sir." "No, no." "My doctor gave those to me." " They are Prefex." " They're supplements, sir." " Bullshit, man." "Prefex, Prefex." " Supplifem." " Aisle four, sir." " Prefex." "Did you call security?" "Soy menopause." "Supplement." "Did you give me this?" " Yes." " Why?" "Because you don't need medication." "Look at me, I am a mess." "Agreed." "But you weren't a mess last week and you weren't on Prefexall whole then either." "I have news for you, Roy." "Your neurosis is small-time." "Small-time?" "What are you?" "You are fucking quack?" "!" "Your conscience is another story." "Let me ask you a question." "What would you do if you had to change careers?" "What?" "If I wasn't an antiques broker?" "If you weren't a criminal." "That is an 18th century Queen Ann footstool I've had my feet on, Roy." "I've had computer programmers tell me what a nice piece it is." "I'm not a criminal." "I'm a con artist." " The difference being?" " They give me their money." "That is a nice rationalization, Roy." "I never took anybody who didn't let me out of greed." "Or weakness." "And I never used violence." "Would you say then you set an example in your trade?" "You bet I do!" "But now you have to set an example for someone else." "How is she?" "Angela." "She is fine." "She went back to her mom's." "Have you spoken to her?" "Why not?" "Do we have to talk about this?" "Why haven't you spoken?" "Because..." "She hates me." "Why do you think she hates you?" "Because..." "Because..." "I screwed it up." "Oh, God, I lost my little girl." "I lost my little girl." "I'm happy to..." "I went to see a lawyer." "He specializes in custody suits." "That sort of thing." "Like when one parent wants to get joint custody of the child." "There are things you have to do." "File some paperwork, blood tests, go before a judge." "It would only be for weekends and some holidays to start." "I would have to make a lot of changes." "For one thing, I'd have to stop doing what I do for a living." "Honey, I am sorry." "I should have asked you first." "Will you try, please?" "Yes, I will try." "Honey." "I'll try." "When?" "As of now." "Well, you gotta do what you gotta do." "I'm sorry to lose you." " You don't want the forty G's?" " Keep it." "Consider it a parting gift." "We should part more often." "Did I tell you I love you?" "Yeah, I love you back." " Con bye?" " Con bye." "One of these days, I'll get you drunk." "You know, I think I should tell your mom about this." "Let her know what I am doing." "Your funeral." "I know." "But I think she should hear it from me." "What do you think?" "Yeah." "Okay." " I'm excited about this." " We could get a dog." "Either a German shepherd or a Lab." "They are messy, aren't they?" "We could train it." "We could name it Frank." "It is a good name." "Senorita." "Senorita." "For you, senorita." "Thank you." "Let's dance." "What is it?" ""My house is your house"?" "Frank!" "Get back!" "Hello, Roy." "Hiya, sunshine." " Go wait in your room, honey." " Let her stay." "She is in this as much as you are." "It's Angela, right?" "Your mug shot doesn't do you justice." " You wanna sit down?" " If you come anywhere near her..." "Don't play tough, Roy." "I am in your home." " Roy, I am sorry, man." " Shut up!" "How did you find me?" "I didn't." "I found her." "In black and white." "Airport security cameras, Roy." "They got a nice look at her." "That was sloppy." "There were no cameras in the lounge." "No." "There were in the gift shop." "In my business it pays to have a few friends on the force." "Your little girl's is in their books." "Your ex-wife doesn't know well enough not to give out your home address." "We only hurt the ones we love, huh?" "You look white as a ghost, Roy." "I don't want you to pass out before you make your first payment." "But first things first." "Let's have back the money you took from me." " I don't have it." " Let's start with what you do have." " 4 000, maybe." " Where?" " The dog." " Stop!" "Let her get it." "You stay here with me." "It's okay." "Let's get it, honey." "Go." " Run, Angela, run!" " You run and daddy is dead right now!" "Okay." "Okay." "Next." "I'll get half of what you make from now on." "If not, I call those cops friends of mine." "And your little girl goes to juvie till she is 18." " I'm out." "I'm done with this." " You're not done, Roy." "You haven't even got your feet wet." "Frank's not done." "Are you, Frank?" "You done, Frank?" "He is not done." "Put the gun down, sweetheart." " Shoot him." " Quiet, Frank." "Angela." "Angela." "Put it down, sweetheart." "I'll take care of this." "I want you to go." "You know how to use that thing, sweetie?" "I'll do it." "Don't make it worse." "Shoot him." "Goddamn, shoot him!" "Okay." "Okay." "Oh, God!" "Oh, shit, Roy." "He ain't gonna make it." "You know where the Seven Palms Motel is?" " It's out the 15." " Okay, get a room there." "Ground floor if you have to go out the back." " And you wait there for me." " What if you don't show?" "Take her to her mother's." "And drive south and never come back." "What are you going to do?" "I'm gonna take him to the hospital." "Sweetheart, listen to me." "Frank's gonna get you out of here, alright?" "He's gonna get you out of here and I will see you in a day or two, okay?" "It's gonna be alright, honey." "I promise." " Dad, I was just trying..." " I know." "Listen to me." "I know." "I know." "You didn't shoot him." "You understand?" "I shot." "I did." " Isn't it right, Frank?" " It's right, Roy." "You just sit tight, honey." "And..." "I am sorry." "I'm sorry I let you down." "Okay." "Frank!" " Go." "Okay?" " Okay." " I'm serious." " I am sorry." "I'm sorry, man." " All right." " I'm sorry." "Look at me." "He is okay." "Morning, Roy." "How d'you feel?" "Take it slow, will you?" "I'm detective Bishop." "This is detective Holt." "Doctor'll be in in a second." "You were given a pretty close haircut the other night, Roy." "Bad concussion." "You got lucky, Roy." "I wish we could say the same for Chuck." "Am I under arrest?" "You have the right to remain silent." "And anything you say can and may be, blah, blah." "I heard it all." " Where is Frank?" " Who?" "Frank Mercer." "Your partner." "We've been spending some time when you were here at your place and his." "There's not a lot we don't know." "I like your place better." "Clean." "Where is he?" "Okay, and how about this?" "Where is Angela?" " Because she is not..." " 415 Chester Avenue." "Her mother is near hysterical." "I shot him." "I shot Chuck." "You sure about that?" "Because Chuck didn't make it." "We found him faced down on your driveway." "It is not good but I am telling you it can still get a lot worse." "Alas, the print we took off your .38 was just a little small." "So, where is she?" "I want to see my doctor." "Like we said the doctor'll be here in a second." "No, my doctor." "My shrink." "You let me see him and I will tell you everything you want to know." "What is his number?" "Hello, Roy." "Hey, Doc." "Do we have a little privacy?" "It's not the way it works, Roy." "Don't we have doctor-patient privileges, rights?" " Something?" " Yeah, technically, he is right." "That refers to testimony you might give based on confidential information." "There is no privilege that says I gotta leave you two alone." "There is if you want what I know." "Five minutes." "Roy, what happened?" "They told..." "Okay, listen." "Angela is in trouble." "If I don't help her, she will go to jail." " So please help me help her." " Roy, I can't do anything illegal." " You got her into this, too." " Don't transfer responsibility, Roy." "Just make a phone call for me." "All right?" "Please?" " All right." " Get to the Seven Palms Motel." "It is like a giant cricket." "I asked you to turn the machine off, right?" "You tell Angela the pass code and you tell her to write it down." " Pass code?" " Because they're going to search you on your way out." " Right." " 543..." "N7 942." " 59.." " Doc!" "I'm sorry." "543..." "N7 942." "Say it back to me." "So it's, 543 7542." "No." "N7 942." "N, Norman, 7 942." "That is all you have to do." "Thank you, doc." "Angela's gonna be okay." "Angela's gonna be alright." "Hey, can you guys put the air-conditioning on?" "It's hot." "Where is Bishop?" "Bishop?" "Detectives." "Can you make it a little cooler in here?" "Roy's." "Dear Roy, you are probably pretty upset," "I don't blame you." "You taught me most of what I know, so I suppose I owe you better than this." "But you always told me if I ever got a shot at a big score," "I should take it." "That is what I did." "Taxi!" "Sorry about the sap on the head, by the way." "And for everything else." "Always said guys like us can't afford to have regrets about what we do." "That's gonna be a little harder for me." "But I'll manage." ""No, I told her I'm a psychiatrist." "I can't lie, Roy"" "If it makes any difference, you're the best I ever saw." "I would never find a better partner." "And now I won't have to." "I love you, man." "Frank." "Booth today, Mr. Waller?" "P. S.:" "Enjoy the gift!" ""Said you were a bad guy."" ""You don't seem like a bad guy.""
