Maybe she's doing me because

she wants to get back at you...

for doing somebody else.

Maybe you're doing

everybody in town...

- I don't know that.

- I'm not, man.

Well, you could be.

I mean, you're good-looking.

- But I'm not.

- Maybe you should.

Donna used to always

say how sexy you were.

She said I was sexy?

She didn't say that.

She didn't not say it.

She's a lying b*tch whore.

What kind of foundation

for a relationship...

is calling your wife

a lying b*tch whore?

She is a lying b*tch whore.

She wasrt when you

married her, was she?

I don't think you're

the type of guy...

who'd marry

a lying b*tch whore.

I didn't know her too

good when I married her.

That's not good marrying

someone you don't know...

Well, tell me about it.

Love... sucks.

Yeah, but sometimes

it's pretty nice, too.

Sh*t, is it hot.

What do you do

for a living, Larry?

I'm a mechanic.

I used to fix

airplanes for Eastern...

over at LaGuardia.

That's a good job, Larry,

that's a lot of respon...

I got laid off.

I haven't worked in a year.

Why Donna had to get this job

I don't know.

A mars got to work.

Ain't that the truth, boy.

I think you get

everything from work.

You get money, power,

sexual attraction.

You're saying that

a man without a job...

is like a man without a dick.

Thank you very f***ing much.

I'm saying it's in your head.

In my head?

Well, not your head.

It's everybody's head.

F***!

A fuckir headache.

Larry, stay calm.

They'll go away.

How do you know?

I know.

See?

You know lots of things.

I know people.

When you sell stuff

for a living...

you get to know people.

I don't know people so good.

Don't push me, God damn it!

There are cockroaches!

I got them all over me!

Get down!

There's cockroaches up here!

Hey, you guys

are really something!

I thought I could trust you!

Frankie, you bastard!

Get him down!

Move!

Excuse me! Joey!

My boyfriend's in there!

He's a hostage!

Officer, you got to help me!

My boyfriend's in there!

He's a hostage!

- You can go.

- Thank you!

Miss?

See what he wants.

I'll have another shrimp boat.

How many? Three?

- One.

- Three. Thank you.

Ring through again.

You want to get that, Joey?

You got it, Lar.

Chuck's hot line.

I'm ringing and ringing

and ringing.

You gotta answer me

when I'm ringing.

What's going on in there?

We're being very patient

with this guy, O'Brien.

You got to get him

to give us something.

My boyfriend is a hostage!

Look, lady, we're doir

the best we can.

We got a phone hookup

into the situation.

Yeah? Good. Thank you.

Joey, look, I...

Get that broad out!

- Sh*t.

- What?

Get the broad out of here!

I could be of great help to you!

- I'm f***ed.

- What?

Attention...

we're coming in.

Mason, stay where you are!

We'll be OK, really.

That's it, we're coming in.

Don't come in yet.

We'll work out something.

All right.

Larry, it's deal time, huh?

You want to take charge?

Cut a couple guys loose.

Give them something.

They all couldn't

have popped Donna.

Some of them just came in

to buy a car today.

Be a guy, Larry...

a no-sh*t guy.

You.

Gentlemen, if you want to

avail yourselves...

of my services, there's my card.

Pass them out among yourselves.

O'Brien, you got yourself

a free coffin.

That's a hell of a thing

to say to you, ain't it?

What about me?

I'm only a customer...

just come to buy car.

I demand right to go free.

Please, Mr. Larry.

Let me go, please.

I'm just a customer.

Excuse me. I am also a customer.

It's true. They are.

So?

So cut him loose, Lar.

I don't think so. Not him.

Why not me?

He's doing your wife, too,

right?

What difference does that make?

We're in this together.

We're like brothers.

Larry, you can't hold

him responsible...

'cause his wife's

having an affair.

Well, how do you think I feel?

I can't walk out of here

either, can I?

We don't have anything

against each other.

I'll give you something

to let me out.

Say $25,000.

If that's not enough,

tell me what you need.

I'll write you

a check right now.

You think I'm

some kind of idiot?

I wouldn't

cancel it! I swear.

Look at the witnesses

we have!

You don't understand.

If I took your money...

you know what that

would be? Extortion.

I know what that is.

I ain't no extortionist.

What difference? You're

already a kidnapper!

Thank you, Judge Wapner.

Why don't you also describe...

sodomy in prison

while you're at it?

Get him out. He's an a**hole.

The a**hole stays.

You two guys.

Thanks, Mr. Larry!

Please shoot don't me!

Watch out! He may have

a bomb or something.

I am American citizen!

None of that Russian babble.

Search him.

What's going on?

Stop her!

I couldn't have been

doing your wife.

I just got out of the hospital.

I had prostate surgery.

That's right. He's got...

show 'em your scar...

- It's a cop!

- It's not a cop!

I'm not a cop!

I'm Joey's girl!

She's your girl?

What are you doing here?

Get out of here!

I love you, Joey.

I saw all this

crazy sh*t on TV.

I had to come down to see you.

You're screwing her,

my wife, and his wife?

How the hell you got time

to make a living?

Joey, what's he talking here?

Joey, is this true?

Come on, Lisa.

Lisa? I knew you was

doir a Lisa.

That's four.

How many girls you got?

- Lisa's my daughter.

- You got a daughter?

You probably got a wife, too!

No wife! Ex! Ex-wife!

He's a busy boy, your Joey.

A very busy boy.

Donna... Tina...

Chuck... Lola...

Lila! L-i-I-a! Lila!

There's an explanation

for all of this.

I got an explanation

for you, Joey.

You're a total sh*t!

I hate you!

I risked my life for you, Joey!

Get out of here! Go!

You didn't have to say that.

He didn't.

No, man. You didn't

need to do that.

That was mean.

That was really mean.

You all right?

You got a lot of girls.

It's easy for you?

It ain't easy.

It's never easy.

What's your name?

Lila! I'm a designer.

I do 'dos. I do clothes.

I did all these things myself.

I got an entire clothes line

called A La Lila.

My ex-boyfriend is in there.

Are you Joey O'Briers wife?

I'm his ex-wife.
