I'm fine.

I can go now?

Sure.

You forgot something.

What?

Guys take over your life just like that.

You never believe anybody can do that.

One dumb move

and these animals rush in.

I really f***ed up, didn't I?

Good, Judy. Come on, Gilda,

what's wrong with you?

Oh, that's beautiful.

Yes, that's very good.

- JUD Y:
Do you like this?

- Oh, yes. Okay.

Oh, yes. Take those straps off, Judy.

Good, Gilda. Okay.

Gilda, you lie down on your back.

Judy, you get up. That's it.

Turn around this way. Come on.

Here we go. That's good. That's good.

This is a good shot. This is real good.

Okay. Oh, look. Yes, sir.

Oh, you do that good, huh? What?

Hey, listen...

- Hey, Bobby.

- Get rid of the b*tches.

GILDA:
What'd he call us?

- Okay, kids, that's a wrap.

- Alan, no!

- Here you go. Come on, come on.

- Alan, no, way.

Come on. Get your clothes and get out.

Come on, come on, go on.

- You said we could stay.

- Go on, go on. I know what I promised.

Go on, go on! Get out through the kitchen.

- Hey, hey, hey, Bobby, Bobby.

- JUD Y:
You son-of-a-b*tch.

What are you doing now?

So?

Hey, come on. What is this?

Don't be fooling with guns in here.

You ready for the big question?

Oh, man, what are you on?

The question is, how much

did the man say he was going to give you?

Give me?

Give you. Give us. Just say it.

Yeah, you went out to see the guy,

didn't you?

What's the answer?

Before I can talk to you, you go out

on your own and see the guy yourself,

is that it?

Hey, hey, now. You listen to me a minute.

When a man pulls sh*t on me,

he's either very brave or very stoned.

- Which are you?

- Hey, now, my mind is clear. You hip?

Hey, hey. Now, you... F*** it.

Think about it a minute.

You just wait.

Now, how was I going to tell you anything

with Leo sitting right there?

I called you later, you were gone.

(GUN FIRING)

Bobby.

Stop, stop, stop.

Now, now, I called you, man!

You weren't...

What did the man say?

This is the last call.

52,000.

Now, don't you feel better?

The man made us an offer, 52,000.

That's all he can afford.

You believe it?

Yeah.

I mean, let's take it

while he still believes it'll save his ass.

But here's what we're talking about.

What do we need Leo for?

I never saw how we needed him at all.

- So it's me and you. Fifty-fifty.

- 26 grand apiece.

- All right, what about Leo?

- He'll be gone.

But he could find out, now, couldn't he?

I don't see no other way.

Do it soon.

Seeing how he's a friend of yours,

you want me to do it.

But you know, I mean,

don't let me know how you're gonna do it.

Let me read about it in the papers,

be surprised.

(SIRENS WAILING)

Hey, I'm really glad to see you.

I was afraid you weren't gonna show up.

Place must have a big 5:00 crowd, huh?

Yeah. Honey?

Strictly a shot and beer joint,

don't you think?

You want some jerky? It's good.

Sit down, will you? Sit down.

Look it, I understand

that Alan talked to you

and you talked to him.

You guys talked together, right?

I saw him.

Then he came to see me.

Right. That's what I understand.

Okay.

What I want to know is,

why did you tell him it was me

who said where you could find him?

I didn't tell him that.

- Well, he said you did.

- Somebody's mistaken.

What's on your mind, Leo? You called me.

(MUMBLES)

The man's been blaming me

for what you guys talked about.

I mean, I was doing a favor.

It's not my fault the deal fell through, is it?

I know that you and Alan

and the black guy...

- What's his name?

- Bobby. Right. Yeah. Two more.

Yeah, Bobby.

I know that you three killed Cini.

Whoa. Whoa. Time.

It was Alan's idea.

I swear to God, it was Alan's idea.

(STAMMERS) I saw that tape right before

you did and I threw up my lunch.

Listen, I... I'm not...

I'm not as involved in this as you think.

- You were there, though, weren't you?

- No, not...

I was not there. I was not.

I voted against the whole thing.

I was going to give her my... She...

I... You were going to give me money,

I was going to give her money

to get out of... I...

There was no point in killing her,

there was no point.

I'm just trying to settle this thing,

and I've made a deal with Bobby and Alan.

I'm going to pay them 52,000.

- What did you say?

- 52,000.

Alan said you couldn't pay.

He said that you owed the government.

- Talk to Alan.

- Yeah, right, right.

Talk to Alan, that son-of-a-b*tch.

I knew that they were up to something.

I knew it.

They're plotting something,

and they're plotting me out.

They're... They're planning... They're...

Thanks.

Right.

Okay.

Okay.

(CHUCKLES)

You want it finished, huh?

You pay and it'll be settled.

He sics Bobby on you,

or he'll do it himself.

And, I mean, for all I know,

they're in this thing together.

I can't reach them.

I don't know where they are.

I can't reach them.

What if... What if you go to the cops

and you tell them your story?

What about that?

And I'll back you up.

I'll go with you and I'll back you up.

(STUTTERS) Go to the cops

and I'll make a bargain or something,

and I'll take the stand

and say that they killed the girl,

which they did.

And they'll...

They'll let me plead to blackmail or...

I didn't want the girl dead.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. I didn't want her dead.

They'd still have a case

against me, though.

Yeah? What case?

The girl's body. My gun. The tapes.

Yeah? What body?

You wanna know something?

There's no body.

They dumped it in the river

and it's in the pollution and sh*t.

Since they did it, you see,

they think that you think

she's on ice someplace

'cause you can't afford to think

that she isn't. See?

You see her get killed.

You're scared as sh*t

and you agree to pay.

Only you know that Alan and Bobby did it.

Where's the tapes?

They're... They're in the...

- They're in the river with the girl.

- And my gun?

He... He has it...

I don't know, he has it someplace.

He likes guns. He's a gun nut.

- For the road.

- Hey, hey, hey.

Where are you going, huh?

I just told you they could kill you.

You haven't told me what

you're gonna do about it, you fuckhead.

I'll wait to see what happens to you.

Then I'll know if they're serious.

(GASPS)

You swim good.

Good strong legs. A terrific ass. Nice rack.

A little chilly for taking a swim, isn't it?

You see this? Now you don't.

But you know it's there, don't you?

Now, come on out of the pool, slim.

Come on.

ALAN:
You're chilly, aren't you, slim?

What we're doing, we're gonna

get something to warm you up.

How you doing?

- Everything's everything.

- Huh?

You did say you wanted one spoon,

didn't you?

Present for a friend.

(FERRY HORN BLOWING)

Help!

Help!

Help me! Help me!

Help!

Help!

No! No!

No!

God, you're a strong little b*tch,

aren't you?

You know how you're turning me on?

No! No! No! No!

You wanna fight it? Okay, fight it.

(YELLING)

O'BOYLE:
My God, they've got Barbara.

All right, we go to the cops now. That's it.
