- This time I mean it, alright?

- No. No, I

- I need some time, Al.

- This time I mean it.

I need some time

to think about things, okay?

- Don't leave me.

- To see if I can f***ing forgive you

- For f***'s sake!

- Alright, cut the f***ing sh*t!

Cut the f***ing sh*t!

You're not going anywhere, okay?

Don't touch me.

- Don't touch me.

- Don't you f***ing tell me what I can do to you.

I own you. You don't have a f***ing

inch of me that's yours, okay?

- I f***ing own you. Okay?

- Al ...

I'm filing a court order of

protection against you, Al.

- It's within my rights. I have--

- You got f***ing dick!

You don't have any power! I got the

f***ing power! You're a f***ing woman.

I'll cut your f***ing face up into a million

pieces if you put the f***ing court order...

You won't be able to get

within 50 feet of me, Al.

I won't have to.

I'll have somebody else do it.

I'll be sitting right here

watching TV, okay?

When you're getting

your face all torn off,

I'll have three f***ing witnesses.

Police. My f***ing friends.

When you're getting

your face all cut up.

Well, I'll be right here. You

won't have any f***ing proof, okay?

So ...

You'll be so f***ing ugly when

you come crawling back to me

I won't even want you anymore.

- Hey Kat, what's going on?

- Sit down. Sit the f*** down.

- Kat? Are you okay?

- What the f*** is he doing here?

Tell her to put the bag down, Kat.

Tell her.

- Vic.

- She's staying with me.

Listen, Kat. Remember

what we talked about.

I can call the police right now

if you want me to.

- Tell her you're staying. Tell her you're staying.

- It'll be okay.

- Tell 'em to get the f*** out of the house, go on

- Guys just please can you f***ing please go

Cuz I'm, we're gonna work

we're gonna work this out.

I don't want any f***ing trouble,

ok, please?

- Kat.

- Okay?

You listen to me, Albert.

YOu hurt her, I'm not your

scared little girlfriend.

- I'll f***ing end you.

- Yeah, I ain't f***ing scared, okay?

- You should be.

- F***ing n*gger.

Get the f*** out of my house so I

can f*** my little piece of p*ssy.

Call her any name you want to.

You hit her again, it's gonna

be you and me. You understand me?

- Kat?

- Please, guys, just please go. Please go.

It's gonna be okay.

It's a private matter between us.

F*** you!

Don't f***ing make me get up.

I got married when I was 18, to a guy

who I thought was Prince Charming.

- But it was a frog, right?

- Right.

He had me fooled for awhile though, God.

I was crazy about the guy.

You were young.

Maybe you were just crazy.

Or drunk.

Probably both.

It was great, it was great

at the beginning, y'know? Great.

But then, well, he started drinking

and acting just like Al.

I was 6 months pregnant.

With a girl. Tess.

He had come home late one night. I don't know,

he was drunk and we started fighting about

his drinking, or everything,

or nothing.

And he started hitting me,

and he just would not stop.

Somehow, I got away and I,

I ran into the hallway screaming

and neighbors

called the police.

Again. and...

I got to the top of the stairs

and he caught up with me ...

He hit me so hard ...

I fell down the stairs and, uh...

I lost the baby.

- I'm Sorry.

- Ok

Y'know, I didn't even go home

for my clothes or any of my stuff.

wouldn't let him come see me at the hospital.

I was so mad.

Men are dogs. One day we're gonna wake up,

they are gonna start barking.

Right.

Anyway, I really, I really would like

to help Kat, so, um, if you think of something

- Anything.

- Yeah...?

- Let me know, alright?

- I will.

You're f***ing me. You're f***ing only me.

You hear me?

You f***ing, f***ing whore! F***ing whore!

- Why don't you say my f***ing name?

- Al

- Say it!

- Al!

What are you suggesting?

If Kat is not strong

enough to leave Al,

maybe Al needs to leave Kat.

- Yeah, he's, uh, he's never gonna do that.

- Maybe not voluntarily.

What are you saying?

You look like you play by the rules and

My suggestion is a little bit risky.

- Well, without risk, there's no reward.

- You're filthy. I love it.

C'mon, go ahead.

I'm talking a friend of mine into knocking

Al off and he'll do it for a price.

Okay, um... wait a minute, wait a minute.

This um... this conversation never happened.

What? He's not that expensive.

We can chip in.

Chip in?

This isn't a f***ing dinner.

You're talking about a murder.

Are you insane?

That is the only way we can get her away

from him so that she can be with me.

Ah. You're in love with her?

I'd do anything for her.

I'm crazy about her.

Or maybe you're just crazy.

Do you realize you're

talking about a murder?

You said "no risk, no reward"

I read that in a f***ing book

or something, okay? I wasn't talking

about killing someone. God!

YOu met me 2 hours ago and you want

me to be an accomplice to murder.

Not anymore.

You, you people in this neighborhood, you

think you're above the law, but you're not.

This isn't the wild west.

That's what you think.

F*** you!

Let me see Al!

I don't think you understand something, alright?

I'm not rolling over on him.

You got that?

- Like that?

- It's alright.

So I thought you were gonna take care of this

little problem of ours. What happen, it backfire on you?

I thought you were

gonna take care of it.

I'm working on it.

I like you.

I like you, too.

For a guy.

Y'know, Big Al was the leading cause of

death in the neighborhood for awhile.

So you're saying a lot of

people would want him dead?

I'm saying this is a very dangerous

neighboorhood we live in.

- One has to be careful.

- That's exactly what I was thinking.

Just don't let me hear that you been

talking to Reilly, okay? Or Vic.

I was gonna say that I love you.

Don't worry, I won't talk to them.

- Alright, or there'll be trouble, okay?

- Ok

Gimme a kiss.

Right.

We've got 2 hours.

- We've got 2 hours.

- Oh yeah? Well that's all I need.

God, I wish I'd have saved

all my first times for you.

- Really?

- I wish I was a virgin for you, Reilly.

F***.

What?

I'd do anything

to get away from him.

I'd do anything

to get rid of him.

- Anything?

- Yeah, you know that, right?

I promise you, you come with me,

I'll take care of you, baby, forever.

You promise me?

I wish I'd have saved all

my first times for you, Vic.

God, I wish I was a virgin

for you, Vic. F***! why

I can't take it, Vic. Every time he f***ing

touches me, all I can think about is you, Vic.

I can't take it anymore.

I can't take it anymore.

Kat knew exactly what she was doing.

She was a smart one.

She liked the numbers.

Y'know, gambling, taking the risks,

playing the odds.

If she wanted something for Christmas.

She would tell 4 different people

to get her the exact same thing

cuz she figured one of them

would come through for her.

And she was right.

You're the best sex I ever had.

- Will you get me I want?

- Yes.

She played everybody.

Like a f***ing fiddle.

Aren't you glad that
