A Low Down Dirty Shame Page #2

How do you know she's even in LA?

Surveillance photos at LAX

put her here two months ago.

- You run her through the computers?

- Every single one. Nothing.

Shame, I've only got three days.

What do you say?

- I'll find her in two.

- Yes, yes!

Look, I gotta run, OK?

But if you need anything,

I can be reached at this number.

Hey, Sonny, one thing. You promise me I'm

there when you slap the cuffs on Mendoza.

Under one condition.

You dress for the occasion.

- I don't want him to see you like this.

- I'll even get a haircut.

This is gonna be great, like the old days.

- I'll call you.

- OK, I'll talk to you. Bye, Peaches.

Where do we start?

Well...how about this?

- ''Covenant''?

- The only perfume she wears.

Very exotic, very expensive,

and very hard to find.

- That's the only place in LA that sells it.

- Now, how do you know all this?

I bought a bottle once, for her birthday.

Wait a minute. Hold up! You mean to tell me

that you used to date her?

Why you got to say it like that?

Because you look... No, she looks like...

Yeah, I guess you're right.

We are from two different worlds.

Is that why you two broke up?

No. She left me for another guy.

You get to do what you do best today.

Go shopping.

Check that place out

and a couple of shops in the area.

Buy a few things, ask a few questions.

See what you can dig up.

Like what? A sock? A key chain?

What?

In Beverly Hills, this little bit of change

is only gonna buy me trinkets.

- Sh*t! I know you're trying to trick me.

- Ain't nobody trying to trick you.

- Look, come on, Peaches!

- Give it up, big daddy!

I better not hear you was down

at the swapmeet going wild with my money.

Hmm. Thank you.

Hey, hey, come on. Look here, now!

Look, I need a file, right?

You got the proper paperwork?

Paperwork? I need paperwork?

I'm tired of hooking you up.

I'm the one that hooks you up.

When was the last time you hooked me up?

You forgot about Sheila? Nice ass.

I turned that number over to you.

You rolled her over!

She was in a wheelchair.

- I didn't say nothing 'bout her legs.

- That acne?

But you hit it, right?

What kind of questions you asking me,

brother?

Benny, did you?

Everything was good? It was good, right?

Come on back. You sick, man.

I told you,

don't sleep on the handicapped, brother!

You got a current address on him?

Gimme a few days, I'll get it.

No, just do me a favour.

- Give me a copy of this.

- Take it.

Just take it, take it, just take it.

- You like theatre, right?

- I used to be an actor.

Here, I got these from a client.

Take anybody you want.

Ah, thanks, Shame.

I tell ya, I hook ya up, Benny.

- Thursday at the Forum.

- OK. Thanks, man.

OK, Peace, Benny.

''Gary Coleman is Mr Bojangles!''

Hey! What the f*** are you doing here?

- Got myself a missing persons case.

- No sh*t?

No sh*t. I saw you on TV this morning.

You broke that jewellery heist all by yourself?

Give it up for the lieutenant!

Knock it off! Back to work.

Get outta here!

I think I see a cape hanging out your back,

man!

Look, up in the sky! It's a bird,

it's a plane, it's a 50-year-old Puerto Rican!

Hey, Peaches.

- Come get me on Rodeo. Got some info.

- Yeah, I'll meet you there in a minute.

Hi!

- So, you like?

- Salt n' Pepa had a garage sale?

You know what? For somebody to be as

smart as you are, you ain't got no class.

Let me enlighten you about a few things.

This is Frimi.

- Frime.

-This is Frimi, with an I, not an E.

OK? Now, they had a designer sale.

So I took advantage.

No sh*t? Did they throw in a beeper

and a get out of jail free card?

And just because

I am such a thoughtful person,

I got you a little something, too.

- For me?

- And those are silk.

Silk drawers and a red tie? Oh, I've got

to wear these together. Get off me, ladies!

I hear the ladies screaming my name!

''Shame! Shame! Shame!''

''Leave me alone.

Stop talking at my silk drawers.''

- Are you making fun of me?

- Yeah. What else did you get?

You were right. She came here

about a month ago, looking for that perfume.

They didn't have any, so she left this number

and that PO box for the mailing list.

First thing in the morning,

I want you to go and see what's in this box.

Oh, my God!

Any truth to the evil twin rumour, Chad?

- It is him! It is Chad.

- Who?

Chad!

Chad! Chad from ''As the Heart Turns''!

That's right, sweetheart. The one and only.

- Peaches!

- That's what you get for dogging Donna!

And if you sleep with her sister,

I will come back for you.

Don't think that I won't. I don't play that.

You knew better than to pull crap like that!

Watch your back!

What's up, y'all?

Shame. Otra vez.

What is it that you want?

We're trying to have dinner here.

Thanks for inviting me, man.

I love Mexican food. You gonna eat this?

Mm! Delicioso!

What is it that you want, Shame?

Well, I thought

maybe we could help each other.

El pollo loco to you, too!

What kind of help can you give me, huh?

From what l hear,

you're not even a cop any more.

So why don't you do us all a big favour

and get the f*** out of here?

Ouch! Luis!

Why you want to talk to me like that?

Damn! You gonna diss me like that

after all these years?

Sh*t! I knew Luis when he used to sell PCP

to school kids.

But now you're on top and I'm not.

That's cool. All I want you to do

is deliver a message.

I want you to tell Mendoza

that I know he's alive.

And there's no place that he can hide.

I'm gonna be wrecking sh*t like a 7.0,

and when he falls, his ass is mine.

And this time, I will not miss.

Pobrecito Shame. You should have left

when you had the chance, amigo.

They sell some stuff on TV you can spray

on your head and cover your bald spot.

Have a seat.

OK. You respect my sh*t,

and I'll respect yours.

Buenas noches, shitheads.

Hey, Shame. Hello!

How many fingers?

You don't look too good.

Let me give you some advice.

Stay out of business that's not yours.

You keep chasing ghosts,

you're gonna end up in a graveyard.

Wait a minute!

Shoot, knocking on my door like that!

Who the hell is it, any-goddamn-way,

this time of night?

It better be Ed McMahon with a lot of money!

Must be crazy, coming here.

What happened to you?

I went partying

with Rodney King and Reginald Denny.

I'm onto something.

I gotta go see Rothmiller in the morning.

Come on.

- Easy.

- Hold still.

Shame?

How come the only time I get to hold you

is when you're all bloody and bruised?

Are you coming on to me?

Ow! Sh*t!

What the f*** did you do that for?

You're an a**hole, making fun of me!

- You're serious.

- Yes, I am.

Remember the first time we met?

I busted you,

stuffing CDs in your underwear.

Whatever.

I've been feeling this way since then.

I was only 16 and I knew it wouldn't work.

But I am 22, going on 23.

Can't you see

how much I've grown since then?

You're not wearing that trainer no more?

Is everything a f***ing joke to you?

Can't you allow yourself to feel anything?
