2 Days in the Valley

1

You know that first amount

of money you offered me...

you understand why

I had to turn you down?

I made good money

when I worked.

Yeah, I know,

where I live...

it doesn't look

I'm that well off because...

well, that's because

I was gambling.

I was f***ing sick and blew every dime

I made because I had a gambling habit.

But now I'm trying to do

the right thing.

Even though we never

worked together...

I value this

in a relationship.

But I won't work for nothing.

Sure, I can use the money...

but I gotta be paid my quota.

You understand that, don't you?

How long since

you've worked, Dosmo?

Hey, you go through a little

dry spell, what's it make?

It makes you stronger.

I'm okay. I always knew

I'd be back.

What is it?

Sounds like she's having

a bad dream.

Roy.

I'm on my knees,

where you always wanted me to be.

I never wanted you

on your knees, Roy.

What do I do next,

beg or bark?

All right. Come on the bed.

Go to sleep on this side.

- My little worm.

- Don't call me that.

But you were

my little worm, right?

God!

Why did you come over?

Because it's our anniversary.

I kept thinking of all the good times.

So, you seeing someone?

No. No one special.

How many girls are you seeing?

No one.

- Are you gonna try for '98?

- No.

- What's so funny?

- He is.

What's going on?

He's trying to screw her.

He's in her bed?

When I saw you before I skated,

that's why I fell.

Tell me what the f***'s happening.

Please!

Come on, Becky. I miss you.

That's why I came over here.

Why are you doing this?

What are you doing here? You left me!

I think I made a mistake.

Who's the Norwegian bimbo you brought

to watch me race in Lillehammer?

Helga? Did she distract you?

No. No, not at all.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw

this giant, Viking blonde...

with blue eyes

crawling all over you.

Didn't distract me at all. Blocked it

out and came in fourth f***ing again!

At least you came in fourth.

Let's just go to sleep.

This is a destructive relationship.

I'm not starting it again!

Why am I getting turned on then?

- I know you want it.

- Go call your Viking...

Come on.

Becky, I think I'm still

in love with you. I do.

Roy, stop it. I mean it.

Stop it.

I'll throw you out.

Good night.

Oh, God.

They're going back to sleep.

Let's go.

What the f*** happened?

Does every other word have to be "f***"?

Is that the extent of your vocabulary?

It f***ing bothers you?

I didn't f***ing know.

Very quietly.

This ain't my first barbecue.

You sure she don't have

a f***ing dog?

Tough guy like you

is afraid of dogs?

I ain't afraid of them.

They just don't like me.

I don't know what it is.

They always growl at me.

Teddy?

You don't have the rent?

What would you do

if you were me...

and I hadn't paid the rent

for four months?

I would evict me.

I don't wanna be

an a**hole, Teddy.

You're not an a**hole, Evelyn.

I'll be gone tomorrow.

Where will you go?

Listen, there's one thing

you could do.

I may be moving around

for a while, and...

would you look after Bogey?

You're not giving him away?

What about that agent you ate with once

a week? Couldn't he advance you money?

He doesn't return my calls.

Okay, little man,

one last walk to the park.

Bang.

When I do it,

I'll load it first.

Is she out?

Yeah.

Okay, buddy, lay back.

I'm gonna take the gun out of your

mouth, and you're gonna be quiet, right?

Otherwise I'm going to

have to pull the trigger.

Open up.

So I don't hurt the teeth.

You mind if I smoke?

You have one minute to decide

the rest of your life.

I'm gonna ask you

three questions.

If you lie, you die.

Let him sit up.

Get comfortable.

All right.

Forty-seven seconds.

First question.

You met her in Lillehammer.

Who'd she say she was?

Helga.

Helga Svelgen.

Did Becky know about

your other business in Norway?

Did she know what you did there

besides fall down ice-skating?

I don't know what you're talking...

No use protecting Helga.

She's dead.

Twenty-six seconds.

Helga's dead?

Oh, God!

- Can I see that picture?

- Shut your mouth and let me finish.

This is the one

not to get wrong.

Was Helga the one

who approached you...

on behalf of the North Koreans?

You have 16 seconds left.

I don't know what you're talk...

Just a moment. Was it Helga?

If you don't admit that

she was your contact...

in the next ten seconds...

nine...

eight...

seven...

six...

five, four...

three...

two...

Okay.

She was my contact.

This thing isn't about

a gambling debt?

Sh*t! I just got a flat!

Can you believe it?

I'm on my way to a $300,000 commission,

and I just got a f***ing flat!

Call Triple-A right away.

Send them to Ventura and Woodman.

Tell them to hurry.

There'll be a big tip waiting.

Do you have enough cash?

Tell Mr. Connelly I'll be there soon.

Apologize. You know what to say.

Go to my house and feed the dog.

Wait there till you hear from me.

The thing is

I had plans tonight.

I just assumed you never

have plans, Susan.

Sh*t!

Hey, what the f*** are you doing?

Get out of the street!

Please, help me.

Hold it.

B*tch.

Stop. Stop!

That's my car!

He just stole my car!

Teddy!

Teddy Peppers?

Is that you?

It's Ralph.

It's Ralph Crupi.

I did three days work on that feature

of yours called Lights Out.

Oh, yeah, I remember.

Boy, what a bomb that was.

Have you worked since?

Just kidding. Just kidding.

That was one of two or three

in a row for you. I mean flops, bombs.

So what happens now?

You go back to TV?

You must be thinking

you're losing touch with your audience.

God, those critics were cruel.

I don't think I've ever

read reviews that terrible.

What happened? I read the script.

I thought it was a drama.

What was all that stuff

with the elephant in the middle?

I know, it's a long story.

The studio f***ed you over.

Hey, you still have the same dog,

the terrier.

This is another one.

That one was hit by a car.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I remember your wife...

used to bring that other one around

the set when he was still a puppy.

How is your wife?

She's an actress, right?

We're divorced.

Oh, God, I'm sorry,

'cause she is so pretty.

I hope you get

another chance soon.

Otherwise, I'll see you down

on the unemployment line.

Just kidding.

Feel good?

Oh, yeah, it feels great.

You live in California?

Chicago.

- Here for vacation?

- Mm-hmm.

- Where are you from?

- Vietnam.

Vietnam?

I thought this was

a Japanese place.

My mother's Vietnamese.

My father's Japanese.

I'm, how you say...

a mutt.

No, you are not a mutt.

You're a very beautiful girl.

Thank you.

Turn over, please.

- Feel okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

I do softer this side.

You like?

That feels very nice.

Oh, you strong.

Nice body.

Oh, look at you, so big!

Finished.

You're done?

You want something else?

Like what?

Well, what you want?

What could I get?

You been here before?

I've been to

massage parlors before.

Just not this one.

Didn't this place just open?
