Hello?
Hello?
Bastard!
Hello?
Hello?
Jerry, is that you?
Jerry, it's you, isn't it?
Oh, you son of a b*tch.
Jerry? F*** you.
Where are you? Did you get out?
You know what, if you're gonna call me,
you might as well say something.
'Cause all you do this way is freak me out.
You know what? I don't need this sh*t.
You f***ing hard-leg.
I can call the cops, you know.
Oh, they trace it to you,
you're busted back direct, you know?
I got a gun.
Excuse me.
Four Coors and a Jack.
Damn, you're jumpy.
Four shots of Wild Turkey. Make it snappy!
- You still coming over tonight?
- Of course I am.
- There's a party at Caldwell's after.
- I'm not going to no party.
- Suit yourself.
- I wish you'd come over more.
Are you forgetting about
my significant trouble at home?
- Bring her.
- She's too touchy about the custody.
- Yeah, how's that going?
- Back to court a week from Friday.
But I don't think the state's too hot
on reuniting children with their beautiful,
lesbian mothers.
Probably could've picked a place other
than Oklahoma to be a homo.
Like we picked this place? She's not going
anywhere unless that baby boy is here.
I like Lavoice. She's a character.
I knew more characters a few years back.
Like in here, man,
it used to be all great people.
- Now it's a bunch of damn career women.
- Lf you call menopause a career.
When you drop those off,
come to the jukebox.
I want to introduce you to somebody.
Be cool, okay?
She's a little touchy with strangers.
Oh, I understand.
- You think he's good-looking?
- Ted Bundy was good-looking.
Oh, look at you.
- Come to the party with us.
- Ah, I'm too f***ed up.
Look at you. You're such a horn-dog.
- What the f*** is he doing here?
- He's going to the party with me.
What kind of sh*t's he into?
Dude, he's all right. He's just quiet.
Well, I don't know him.
What if he's an ax murderer or...
No, he's harmless. He's just hanging out.
Don't bring people by here, R.C.
I don't like it.
- He's been calling again.
- What does he want?
F*** if I know. He don't say nothing.
He just breathes.
How do you know it's him?
Who else would it be?
Oh, then you're not sure.
I know it's him.
The calls started right after he got out.
Hey, you gotta be careful.
This guy's dangerous.
- I know it.
- I can't believe they let him out.
I thought he'd kill somebody in there
and they'd throw away the key.
Were you gonna give somebody else
a chance in there?
- I've never been so lucky.
- Lf he comes by, you can't let him in.
- Lf he don't come by?
- I'm not an ax murderer.
Do you know it's been two years?
Maybe you should
get bars on your windows.
Oh, great.
Maybe you can just throw peanuts at me
to catch in my mouth, like...
- You can get an attack dog.
- I can take care of myself.
- He's not gonna be satisfied...
- I'm not an ax murderer.
- Maybe I do need a dog. What'd you say?
- Can I use the phone?
Sure.
- I'm not an ax murderer.
- I didn't really think you were.
- Oh, okay.
- Is Lavoice there?
- Here you go.
- Oh, no, no, no.
A big dyke named Lavoice, all right?
- You're very beautiful.
- Huh?
I said you're very beautiful.
- Thank you.
- He said what? Speak up.
Are you all right?
I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
I just don't take compliments real well.
Yeah, yeah, look. Yeah, I'm out of here.
I gotta go. Some guy grabbed Lavoice
or squeezed something,
and she slapped him,
so he threatened her or some sh*t.
- I hate to eat and run. Saddle up.
- Oh, I've changed my mind.
- What's the matter?
- Nothing. I'll just go from here.
- Will you call me?
- I will see you at work.
- No, call me.
- All right.
- Promise?
- Yes.
And we'll do something this week.
Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
The best thing you can do,
I think, is just relax
and try to get him to have a drink.
And if you get really, really nervous,
you can just come to the party, right?
I'm not coming to that party.
You're gonna be, like,
kicking some guy's ass.
- There'll be blood and stuff.
- I'm not gonna kick anybody's ass.
- Have fun.
- See you later.
- You want one last drink?
- I guess I'll go.
Yeah, I should go to bed.
You've known each other a while?
A few years, I guess.
I just met her tonight.
Are you sure you don't want a drink?
People who don't drink make me nervous.
Well, I make people nervous anyway.
- Why is that?
- 'Cause I pick up on things, I think.
That makes people uncomfortable.
- "Pick up on things"?
- Things not apparent.
That's a talent.
What do you pick up on from me?
You're lonely. I know that much.
That hardly makes you Jeane Dixon.
Who's Jeane Dixon?
That woman.
You know.
That psychic. That woman who said to
Teddy Kennedy that Jack'd get shot.
- I'd like to see you again.
- How do you mean?
I mean, see you again, what I said.
- I don't know.
- Okay.
I don't party like this every night,
so don't be thinking...
- No, I just wanted to see you.
- Why?
Why do people like to see each other?
I mean, I don't want anything weird.
A man's the last thing I need.
I don't want to go to bed with you.
Well, don't butter me up or nothing.
Well, I'm not good for much anyway.
- How do you mean?
You a homo?
I'm not anything, really. I'm done with that.
I'm just looking for a friend.
- You a con?
- No, ma'am.
Hell, don't call me "ma'am."
Makes me feel like your mom.
- You're not old enough to be my mother.
- Good.
She's dead, anyway.
Sorry.
She's been dead a long time.
You don't sound like
you're from Oklahoma.
I'm from Beaver.
Well, we're all from beaver, ain't we?
- Pardon?
- Skip it.
It's up in the Panhandle.
My dad's a preacher up there.
- Yeah? What kind of church?
- Doesn't have a church.
Well, where does he meet his people?
He doesn't have any, really.
First day I moved in here, I meant to
take that piece of sh*t down, and...
I kind of got to where I like it.
There's stuff in it.
- "Stuff"?
- Hidden stuff.
You mean, like a...
What do you mean?
People and things,
if you really look at it.
You gotta look at it hard enough,
you'll see it.
That's weird.
Did you hear that?
No, I don't hear nothing.
Listen.
You're hearing things.
"Helskatoot."
- What is that? Is that...
- Goddamn cricket.
Can you tell where it's coming from?
- Sounds like it's...
- It's over here, right?
No.
If you find it, don't kill it. It's bad luck.
Why is that, do you think?
I don't know. Some smart-ass cricket
probably made it up.
- It's in the bathroom.
- Really?
Yeah. I bet it's...
- It's out here.
- Where?
I don't know. Up there.
It's the smoke alarm.
Battery's probably dead.
Can you get it?
- Nope.
- Well, kill the son of a b*tch.
Not bad luck to kill a smoke alarm.
I need something.
Here you go.
- Success.
- Success.
- You should get rid of that.
- How come?
They're dangerous.
They have Americium-241 in them.
- What's that?
- It's an element.
A radioactive element.
