Before the Devil Knows You're Dead Page #5

and he didn't have a credit card,

so I told him that I would rent him a car.

And I owed him some money.

You know. That's it, I swear. It's...

I'm so sorry.

- So what? You're lying.

- No, I'm not.

Because if Bobby wanted a car,

he would have f***ing stolen one.

Chris, go f***ing wait outside.

Let me handle this.

You got a driver's license?

- A what?

- You know, the...

The driver's license you show

when you rent a car?

Yeah.

- Let me see it.

- Yeah.

All right, sure.

Here.

- Henry Hanson.

- Yeah.

This is your address, right?

Yeah, sure.

I'm going to be straight with you, chico.

You mind if I call you chico?

People call me Hank.

Bobby was a piece of sh*t.

I know it, you know it. That's not the point.

The point is that piece of sh*t

was the father of my sister's child.

And he was paying the bills.

And now he's dead.

And I'm thinking,

who's going to pay all these bills?

I'm so sorry.

Sorry ain't going to pay the bills, chico.

I know, I know.

We need to negotiate a settlement,

so make me an offer.

Ten grand, done. It's 10 grand.

I consider us even.

If you don't like 10, I can make it 15.

- No.

- My sister wants me to kill you.

Or I could call the cops.

But I don't like cops.

And the cops ain't going to pay

my sister's bills.

So, I think a settlement

is pretty fair all-around.

- Day after tomorrow, chico.

- Can I?

Here. 8:
00.

You f***ing crazy?

I was hoping that you had

something left over from the settlement.

Lend you money? You owe me $2,000.

Shocked to sh*t you'd even ask.

Martha,

I'm in serious trouble.

I don't give a sh*t

what kind of trouble you're in.

The next time you show up here,

better be to pay me.

Listen, tell Danielle I love her.

If you loved her,

you'd pay her f***ing child support.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

She was a wonderful person.

Wonderful woman.

She was a wonderful woman.

God bless you.

There's no way I can make this scene, Andy.

He was always such a baby.

Yeah.

- Hey, Gina.

- I can't really talk right now.

Andy needs me. I got to go.

Gina, Gina.

Excuse me, is Mike Steuben here?

- Not till noon, can I help you?

- Yeah, yeah.

I returned a car last Saturday

and I guess I forgot something.

Hanson?

That's right, Hanson.

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure it was a CD.

Hang on.

Here we go, Mr. Hanson.

- Great.

- I just need to see some ID.

Yeah, you know, I...

I lost my license.

You have a credit card,

the one you used to rent the car with?

Yeah.

- Yeah, this one.

- All right.

Okay, great.

- Thank you.

- Take care.

- Hello?

- It's me.

Andy, Jesus! F***, man, we got problems.

Hi, Andy.

This is Jake at the office.

Really sorry to bother you,

but the auditors are coming tomorrow.

They've noticed a few problems.

It's pretty urgent,

so give a call when you get this.

You're going to have to get

some sleep tonight.

Have you given any thought to the store?

I mean, you're going to have to give it

some consideration. It's just gonna...

I could open it up for you, you know,

while you're at the hospital.

A few hours a day.

So people know you're still there.

I should burn the goddamn place down.

Andy, this is Jake.

Now I hope you're checking your messages

because we have a real mess here.

The auditors say that

there's two terminated employees

from your department still drawing checks.

And there's something about

unpaid O ASDI taxes.

Look, you need to call us...

I got to go to the office tomorrow.

There's a problem.

I'll go in the morning. I should be back later.

Okay?

His mother's dying,

and he's going back to work.

Yes!

Pick up the phone.

I know you're there,

pick up the phone, you f***ing f*ggot.

Andy, I'm here.

What are you doing here?

You don't have an appointment.

- You know the deal, you can't just show up.

- I know, I'm sorry.

Come back in an hour, tonic water.

My mom's dying.

Bummer.

Next time, make an appointment.

Stupid piece of sh*t.

Stop talking to me like that.

What the f***?

Are you going to get tough?

Are you going to hurt me?

Why was there even a gun?

Why was there even a f***ing gun?

I gave you all the information you needed.

Why was Bobby Lasorda even there?

- Why the f***?

- I didn't think I could do it alone.

I should f***ing kill you.

How are we going to fix it

so your sh*t don't fall on my shoes?

So, think now, who else knows?

"Commit her body to the earth.

"For we are dust and to dust we shall return.

"But the Lord Jesus will change

our mortal bodies to be like his in glory.

"So let us commend our sister to the Lord. "

She hated it when I barbecued.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to be

what you wanted me to be.

I've never been very good

at talking about feelings

or showing you

that kind of affection or support.

I'm sorry.

I wasn't able to be the father you wanted.

But I guess I wanted you

to be better than me.

And I thought that if I push...

It may not mean anything to you,

but I want you to know

that I really do love you.

And I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm just so sorry.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to be

the son you wanted.

You did the best you could.

Still, yeah.

Manage to seem to still like Hank.

He was a lot more of a f***-up than I was.

- He was the baby.

- Yeah.

- He needed us more.

- Yeah, he needed you more.

You sure it wasn't his cute looks

or his puppiness?

You were the first.

The first always has it rougher.

Yeah, so I'm told.

You know, the four of you,

I never felt like I was part of the club.

Beautiful birds of a feather.

You sure I'm your son?

Gina and I have got to get back to the city.

Andy?

My dad.

Andy.

Okay.

Why don't we pull over?

My dad.

Oh, God.

It's not fair! It's not fair!

All my life I've been afraid

of becoming like him. All my life!

All my life with you, and it's not fair.

He can't just say he's sorry

and make it all go away.

It's too late.

It's not that easy!

It's not fair! It's not f***ing fair!

No, Dad.

Oh, God!

He can't do that!

Andy.

Andy.

- I'll be back in a bit.

- Where are you going?

I'll be back soon, I just got to...

I got to deal with some stuff.

What's going on?

What if you come home and I'm not here?

You got some place you got to be?

Your boss called

and he wants you to call him right away.

Are you in trouble?

They just miss me.

Where are you going?

Something has to change.

- What do you mean?

- I mean that this just isn't working.

- What's not working?

- The life that we have.

It was really bad before Rio

and now it's even worse.

You never tell me anything

that's going on anymore.

I don't understand.

Neither do I.

What was that in the car yesterday?

I could help.

I don't need any help.

Do you realize

that I've been having an affair?

What's that supposed to mean?

Means I've been f***ing another guy.

Every Thursday, me and your brother, Hank.

We get together and we f***.

Not only that, he loves me.

And he still finds me attractive.

All the time.

Not just on vacation.
