An Act of War Page #2
threw us in the back,
and drove us out to a compound.
Started questioning me,
looking for a platoon
of Army Rangers
hiding up in those mountains.
I couldn't talk,
I couldn't jeopardize
30-something of them
to save two of us.
When they realized
I wasn't gonna talk
they started
working on this kid.
And they started...
Chopping him up piece by piece.
They told me I could stop it
if I spoke, but I couldn't.
And he was...
He was screaming.
And now I'm back.
And not a day goes by
that I don't blame myself
for that kid not coming home.
Can you believe
these cocksuckers?
They trade four
prospect pitchers
for one old washed-up,
wife-beatin' drunk
who only one seven games
in Toronto last year.
Can you believe that sh*t?
now they expect us
to come out for that?
Put some f***ing winners in the field,
then we'll come out.
- 16 millimeter, right? Yeah.
- Yeah, 16.
Got it here somewhere.
Here you go, son.
Great stuff, by the way.
What do you got?
This one's kind of
personal, Sully.
So, if you could, you know...
Let me guess.
You and your girlfriend, right?
Yeah, something like that.
Hey, no problem.
Because if it's delicate nature,
I promise I won't go
sneaking any peeks.
I got to make sure the exposure
is sufficient, that's all.
You know, you've been leaving this
place a f***ing mess every night?
You better get
your sh*t together.
All right.
I don't want to f***ing hear it.
I know it's you leaving
this place a pigsty.
Either get your act together,
or you get the f*** out.
Yes, sir.
F***ing kids today!
Hey, man.
How's it hanging, brother?
Hey.
It's, um...
- Marlon, right?
- Yeah, it's Marlon, that's right.
Have a seat.
You want coffee?
Sure.
Thanks.
What do you for a living?
I mean,
if you don't mind me asking.
I'm... I'm a projectionist.
Did you know that
marijuana usage
is a ritual part of religious
traditions throughout the world?
In Islamic countries,
it's accepted alongside tobacco
is strictly prohibited.
That's the way it should be
all over the world.
Weed ain't ever kill nobody.
That's an interesting thought,
I guess.
So, what are you looking at?
Huh?
That guy standing out here.
Uh, I don't see anything, man.
Standing out there looking
straight at us.
Uh, sorry man, I don't...
I don't see anything.
You don't see him?
Jeez! Chill man.
I got bad eyes.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I see him. I see him.
You know him?
No.
Well, let's go talk to him.
You know, find out what he...
What he wants.
Just forget it.
Okay.
Remember when I said
I can get you anything?
You know,
I can get you anything.
You want something?
I can...
Are you taking off?
There's some things
I just gotta do.
I'll be seeing you.
Sure.
Hey, Sully.
How you doing, son?
All right.
I was just in the neighborhood.
I thought I'd stop by,
see if I could get my film.
Yeah, sure.
I got it right here for you.
Everything all right, Jacob?
You sure?
Yeah.
Nicks,
I know I only develop your film.
Who the f*** am I, right?
But if you ever need
anybody to talk to,
I'm here for you.
What's going on, Sully?
Nothing.
Sully.
I know you told me not to look
and I had
no intention, but, uh...
I, uh...
I caught a glimpse
of some of your film.
I trusted you.
I was simply checking
the exposure, that's all.
I trusted you.
I didn't intend
to look at it, man.
It just happened.
Sully, I trusted you.
Nicks, I don't know what to say.
I mean, I'm truly sorry, okay?
- How much do I owe you?
- Nothing.
Don't f***ing piss me off,
Sully.
How much do I owe you?
I don't want your money, kid.
Nicks, you don't have to
do this, you know.
It was a mistake,
I didn't mean to.
- Nicks, Nicks, please, huh?
- F*** you.
I'm sorry.
A 22 year old man,
described by officials
as a vindictive social outcast,
faces a federal court
hearing on charges
stemming from
the attempted assassination
Public defenders are
requesting that the suspect,
who makes his first
court appearance...
next Monday afternoon,
will be represented
by the same attorney
who defended the man responsible
for the Oklahoma City bombing
over a decade ago.
Wait, stop.
- What?
- The sound.
- What?
- Wait.
What the f*** is this?
It's nothing.
It's nothing?
You think I'm an idiot,
don't you?
Oh, my God.
The only reason I f***ed you is
because I felt sorry for you.
You make me sick.
You're so pathetic.
Don't say that.
I say whatever the f***
I want to say.
And you know the story
you told me?
You were the weak one.
You could have saved that kid,
but you didn't so you could save yourself.
Get out!
Ivana, it's me again.
I don't know what else to say,
I'm sorry.
I thought we had something.
I thought I was good for you.
Anyway, call me back
when you get this.
You know, I love you.
Hey, Nicks, how you doing, man?
You don't look so good.
You need some sleep.
- You want one?
- Sure.
One for him, too.
Is that guy still following you?
You know how you always ask me
if there's anything I need?
Like what?
You know, you know.
How do I know
you're not a snitch?
I'm just joking with you, man.
Whatever you want.
- What, what do you got?
- What do you want?
I don't know, something strong.
I got what you need.
I gotta warn you.
It's some addictive sh*t, man.
I don't care.
Just give it to me.
Everything
is gonna be all right.
Everything
is gonna be all right.
Everything is gonna be
all right.
What the f*** do you
want from me?
Take this.
What's this?
Just take it.
I don't even know who you are.
You don't know who I am?
I don't wanna know you.
Just take it.
Stay away from me.
Stay the f*** away from me.
Stay away from me.
What the f***?
Why won't you talk to me?
Why won't you take my phone calls?
- Leave me alone!
- Huh, why won't you talk to me?
Leave me alone, you freak!
I never want to see you again!
Ivana!
Do you realize what you've done?
Do you realize how many
refunds I had to give?
Just take it out of my paycheck.
It's not about the money
I lost tonight.
It's about the fact that
those customers
will never come
to this theater again.
I don't know
what happened, Frank.
Something's going on with you.
You're not right.
Not that you were ever
right to begin with.
You look like sh*t,
you smell like sh*t,
I want you out of here.
I'm sorry, Frank.
Frank, I'm sorry.
Clean the machine
and get the f*** out.
You're sick in the head,
you know that?
You need f***ing help.
Don't come back here no more.
I need more.
No, no coffee.
I need...
I need more.
More what?
More what... What the f*** else
would I be talking about, man?
Chill, man. Chill.
I only...
I only got a little bit.
Give me what you got.
All right, all right.
Hold on a second.
