talking to the f***ing Puerto Rican.

F*** off, b*tch!

I know you're an a**hole, alright?

Coward scumbag motherf***er

whose feet smell

And Kat caught a beating

because of what you f***ing said!

Bullshit. She deserves it.

You can't trust her.

You wanna watch what you say, Clancy.

I'm telling you, mind your f***ing

business or you're gonna get hurt.

- Are you threatening me?

- Hey, F*** you!

You don't have anything

to worry about from me!

You got Kat, you got Reilly, you got the f***ing

spics! You think Jose's gonna drop you cutting him?

I'm telling you-- watch your back. You got

a big f***ing mouth and it's gonna get you killed!

You're not scaring me, you know.

I'm not? Well then, you're just f***ing

retarded! See you in the morgue, genius.

Look, I don't plan to l

ive here all my life, alright?

I got dreams of getting out.

Y'know, Al and I have big plans to maybe

move to the beach or something.

Y'know not, not this year,

but hopefully next year.

- You like the beach?

- Yeah, I like the beach.

I love the beach, okay? I love it. Al says

he's gonna get us a place there. He promises me.

Kat, you don't need

Al to get that far.

You'll be surprised at how much

you can do all on your own.

- Alright, we better stop here.

- Why?

Because, okay? I don't want trouble.

Alright?

I got neighbors, and they're

gonna talk and stuff, okay?

Give me a call, okay?

Come on.

You are trouble.

F***ing shells!

What the f*** was

I f***ing thinking?

F***ing shells!

Somebody should have killed Al a long

time ago. I wanted to a lot of times, but...

I couldn't. Y'know, I knew him a

long time and sh*t. It just...

Wouldn't have been a

good thing to do, y'know?

It's a neighborhood thing.

We got rules.

Sure, we had fights. Yeah.

We saw things differently

many a times. Most times.

But it wouldn't have been cool.

- Hey, trouble.

- Hi.

- It's on the house.

- I, no, I can't accept stolen goods.

You kidding me? I didn't steal it.

Al stole it.

Just take it, alright? I mean c'mon,

don't make me feel like sh*t, please?

Alright, alright.

You want to come in?

- Yeah.

- Come in.

- I'll make you some toast.

- Ok

Now, listen to me. Al's going to be a free

man in 24 hours, so you have to make a decision.

Press charges or get

a court order.

I mean, how do you know

so much about Al?

Because I was married

with a man just like him.

- Wow.

- I wanna show you something.

Jesus Christ.

- How long ago was that?

- It was, uh, 6 years.

After I left him I went

back to school, y'know, I

got my degree.

- You're crazy.

- My whole life changed for the better.

It did, and leaving him was

the best thing I ever did.

- I'm scared.

- You can do that. You can do that too.

You weren't scared, though? You weren't scared

he was gonna come back and come after you?

Y'know, I... couldn't afford

to be scared anymore.

- Hey, Sarge.

- Hey, Reilly.

- Hey.

- You hear anything yet?

- No, and you?

- No.

- Beer.

- Yeah.

There you go.

I wanna kill him.

I'll kill the motherf***er.

Reilly, that's probably the

smartest thing you've ever said.

This is it. I mean,

it's where I live.

We need to find you

a place to live.

I could stay at my friend

Vic's house, but uh...

I don't think that's

a very good idea.

- Why not?

- Because I'll start off on her couch...

and end up on her bed.

You know what I'm saying?

What?

Does that freak you out,

that I slept with a girl?

No, no...

No. Why? No. No.

Live and let live, I always say.

Yeah, live and let live. That's

what I always say too, y'know.

Live and let live.

You're so uptight.

You gotta loosen up.

Anyway, besides. It's not far enough.

It's down the block. I mean...

I'm probably gonna, y'know, end up finding

a hotel downtown or something, y'know

- You could stay with me.

- I couldn't ask you to do that.

No, ah, no, it's no trouble, at all.

I have the room.

- I'll think about it. Thanks.

- Listen to me.

You are a woman and you have power

and you need to use it.

Lips, tits, hips.

All woman.

Y'know, you gotta

think about it that way.

Use your power as a woman

to change your life.

- Have you slept with a woman?

- No, no, uh...

- Are you coming on to me?

- Maybe. Do you want me to?

I mean, come on.

That's what this is

all about, right? "Help"

No. No, that is not

why we are helping you.

And contrary to what you might believe,

not everybody wants something from you.

I'm here doing my job.

I'm not here to take advantage of you.

I promise you that.

I promise.

Well, thank you. But I don't

believe a word you're telling me, okay?

Nobody does something for nothing.

When I was 9 years old...

He told me he wished

I'd never been born.

He said he'd

never f***ing wanted kids.

But he was always so f***ing horny

He just had this

incredible sex drive.

So he couldn't

keep his hands off my mother.

I told him ...

That's no excuse. If you don't want kids,

don't f***ing have 'em.

I mean, there's too f***ing many

unwanted kids out there, right?

Just turn the b*tch over

and f*** her in the ass.

That's my solution to

birth control, overpopulation...

Turn the f***ing b*tch right over

and f*** her in the ass.

- Hey, how you doing?

- Al

I'm gonna yell for Vic and Liz,

they're downstairs.

- They're gonna call the cops.

- No you won't.

Al, you're not supposed to be here, okay?

Don't make this harder for me

than it already is.

I don't want that f***ing b*tch

coming around here investigating us.

- No!

- I'm f***ing warning you. Okay?

- I don't want her coming around here. I'm f***ing warning you.

- Ow! ow, ow, ow

Come on.

Well, she has never had

any luck with men, but ...

I mean, she just doesn't know

how to keep a man. Never has.

Like me, my fourth husband and I,

we have been happily married for two years.

It just works.

Gertie. Will you shut your

fat mouth and cook me something?

Shut your fat yap,

you fat f***!

We're gonna eat when I'm

goddamned good and ready, okay?

Look, I do not know where she got

her problem with men from, okay?

Maybe it was from her father.

I mean, he is crazy.

Sh*t, Clancy says he saw you talking with

the Puerto Rican motherf***er again.

- I didn't talk to him, alright?

- Did you wanna suck his cock?

- No, I didn't suck his f***ing cock!

- Admit it!

Then why not f***ing answer me when I f***ing

ask you a question? Why'd it take you so long to think about it?

- You have to f***ing think about it?

- No, I didn't have to f***ing think about it! Jesus f***ing Christ, you're making me goddamn f***ing nervous, alright?

Alright.

I feel like I'm on f***ing "Jeopardy"!

F***!

Are you gonna leave at the first sign

of a domestic disturbance?

- Oh Al, oh Al. No, no Al.

- What?

Insanity is not a f***ing

domestic disturbance, Al!

It's a disease. It's a rot.

And you're nuts.

- Ok

- Let me go, please, just just let me go, please.

Okay, I promise I'm not

gonna hit you anymore, okay?

You said that the last time.
