Barefoot
1
One hand washes the other
one eye open when I sleep
one thing leads to another
one's sleeping six feet deep
two faces in the mirror
The two rights
erase the wrong
two choices,
which one's clearer?
What way do I run?
- Hey!
- Hey.
Um, listen.
I'm gonna take off.
Do you mind, uh...
do you mind locking the door
on... on your way out?
You aren't gonna buy me
breakfast, are you?
Uh...
Uh... No.
I played cards
with the devil
I made a bet with a ghost
I made sure they'll never
find the cure
for a crooked soul
I played cards
with the devil
I made a bet with a ghost
I made sure they'll never
find the cure
for a crooked soul
Unh-unh. Unh-unh.
W-w-whoa.
You are officially banned
after last night.
I mean, literally,
I can't even...
I can't even remember
last night.
You were up on stage.
- No.
- Yeah.
You gave a Russian guy
a lap dance,
- and he was not into it.
- What?
Like, really not into it.
I made sure they'll never
find the cure
for a crooked soul
I played cards
with the devil
I made a bet with a ghost
I made sure they'll never
find the cure
for a crooked soul
I see nothing
but black clouds
I'm in the eye of the storm
I been burning my tightrope
but I've got the beat
of the bones
in this town,
those dark waters
- Hey, how are you?
- Pretty good.
I will take a double
grey goose on the rocks, please.
What are you paying with?
Okay.
There you go.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Hey.
- Hey!
Good. How you doing?
I'm good, Mr. Vincent.
Long time. How are you?
I gonna, uh... I was gonna
call you today.
Hi.
Oh, I was hoping I'd find
37 grand in there for me.
Yeah, well, I-I do all
Listen, kid,
I just learned something
that kind of hurt my feelings.
Oh, yeah? What's that?
According to
a friend of mine down South,
your family has more money
than they know what to do with.
Well, my family and I,
we have parted ways.
That's why I borrow money
from you.
Card's declined.
Listen to me.
I know where you work.
I know where you live.
I know where you gamble away
money you don't have.
I know where you go
for probation.
I know the whole thing.
And if I don't have my money
by Friday 5:
00,I will find you and I will smash
your head wide open.
I have no problem doing that.
I made sure they'll never
find the cure
for a crooked soul
Aah!
Mr. Wheeler
has continued to exhibit,
through a series of offenses...
D.U.I., resisting arrest,
criminal speeding, participation
in unlicensed gaming,
and now aggravated assault...
...That he is
combative, disruptive,
and has a general disregard for
simple rules and regulations.
He also seems incapable
of obeying the law.
Whoever wrote that just...
Just gets me.
Hey.
Hey.
So, that guy
and his thick-neck buddy
showed up again.
Said you weren't here.
All right. Thank you.
Hey, don't you have somebody
tied up in your basement
you need to go torture,
something like that?
Hey, man. You got no money
socked away? Nothing at all?
Does it look like I got
any money socked away, man?
What about your family?
Said your brother's getting
married next week, right?
- Yeah, I did. So what?
- So what?
So, get a tux
and fly to the party.
Everybody's happy and your old
man's checkbook's already open.
Yeah.
Listen, I think I can make it
to the wedding now.
Oh, that's great.
Oh, here.
Talk to your father.
Uh, no, mom.
Mom, I don't... mom!
Hello?
Hey, dad.
Oh, Jay. How are you?
I-I-I'm well.
I-I-I-I'm well.
I've been following the, uh...
the merger talks in the news.
Looks promising.
Yeah, yeah.
How's the plan going out there?
Uh, I-it's going very well.
It's going amazing, actually.
I was telling mom
I got a new job.
It's an administration position
with one of the largest
psychiatric hospitals out here.
I-I've met someone, too,
and she's... she's beautiful.
She's just the greatest thing.
Mom would love her.
Does she take her clothes
off for a living?
No, she doesn't take her clothes
off for a living, dad.
No. She's a... she's a nurse.
You should bring her
to the wedding.
Bring her to the wedding?
Yeah, sure.
Uh... No, yeah, no.
She's not gonna be able
to get the time off work.
She's... she's a nut
with the work, this one.
Yeah, well, we both think
you should bring her.
Um... Okay, you know what?
We'll be there.
Tell mom we're gonna be there
and we'll be there, okay?
Okay.
Sh*t.
Woman over P.A.:
Would a med tech
please report
to physical therapy?
Mop guy, show us what you got.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My God, you look...
you look amazing today.
I wear this every day.
Really?
I mean, I don't know.
Today, it's like...
it's really working.
You're single, right?
Yes, I'm single.
Yeah, I'm single, too.
This is great.
You're single
because you're an a**hole.
Yeah, but an interesting
and fun a**hole.
Listen,
My brother's getting married
in new Orleans this weekend,
and I was kind of thinking
if you weren't busy or anything,
- you and me...
- You're serious.
What, is that a yes?
This is Daisy Kensington.
Thank you, Mr. Wheeler.
Uh-huh.
Okay, fellas. Break time.
I'm only here
because I refuse to vote.
I know.
Because I refuse
to use credit cards
or go on the Internet.
They know my record.
They know your record, too,
Mr. Wheeler,
if that's your real name.
They know everything about you.
I am off the grid, baby!
Just because I won't go
to websites,
just because I don't have
a cellphone,
I won't even look
at a television...
- that's why, that's why.
- You don't have to.
Come on. Sit down.
Sit down.
Mr. B.,
how's the Wildman today?
Yeah. She's nice.
Pretty women, Mr. B.
You remember pretty women?
Yeah.
Bertleman wants
to see you in his office.
Now, listen. I don't know
what frakel told you.
You're giving
alcohol and pornography
to my patients.
They're my friends.
They are,
variously, psychotic, catatonic,
manic, and delusional.
They are also my responsibility.
From this point forward,
you will have no contact
with these patients
except to mop the floor
beneath their feet.
Are we clear?
Yeah, we're clear.
Absolutely, yeah.
I'm fully aware
that if you lose this job,
you violate your probation.
If you let that happen,
you will find yourself downwind
from a category-5 sh*t storm.
- Can I...
- I'm done.
Okay.
It's
miss Daisy Kensington, right?
Miss Kensington,
do you know where you are?
It's okay.
This is a psychiatric hospital.
The police report says
that your mother passed away
and you left a note
for the mailman
asking him what you should do.
Miss Kensington,
are you aware of the time?
Do you know the day,
month, year?
Um...
I'm not exactly sure
what day it is.
It's okay.
Do you know why you're here?
I guess, uh...
...the voices.
We're gonna do some tests.
But I'm supposed to be sleeping.
I know. It won't take long.
Are you a doctor?
