Cadillac Man Page #8

I'm in the middle

of a domestic dispute.

Domestic dispute? What?

A man-woman thing, you know?

Does he have a wife?

You were f***ing his wife!

I swear to God, Joey!

I almost think

you deserve this!

Maybe I do deserve this.

What about these other guys?

I'll talk to him.

Put him on the phone.

- What?

- I wanna talk to him now.

She wants to talk to you.

What's your name?

Chuck.

Listen, I don't know

if you have a family...

but Joey's got a daughter.

If you ever stop thinking

about yourself long enough...

you think about that.

You think about us.

You think about his family.

She's been out all night.

She might be in trouble.

What's she saying, Larry?

Your daughter, she

might be in trouble.

Louie.

I think you're a prick

and a selfish a**hole...

for keeping him in there...

when he ought to be out

here looking for his...

I'm a an a**hole

and a selfish prick...

Welcome the club.

For holding you when you ought

to be out looking for her.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

You didn't know. It's OK.

Listen, Chuck, Joey's got

a mom and she's real upset.

- Really?

- What's she saying?

Your mom's really upset.

She's watching it on television.

Could you ask Joey

to go give her a buzz?

She wants you

to call your mom.

Tell Joey that I said

he should tell her...

everything's gonna

be all right.

Tell your mom everything's

gonna be all right.

- How old's your mom?

- She's an old broad.

Jesus, Joey!

Calling your mother

an old broad?

You call your wife

a b*tch whore.

But she's my wife.

A mother is a mother.

Why should I call my mother?

What am I going to say to her?

"This guy's going to kill me,

but I got a deal on a coffin. "

- Get back.

- Call your mother.

Listen, Tina?

I gotta get off the phone.

I gotta call Ma.

Joey, wait.

- I miss you.

- I miss you, too.

- I really do.

- Bye.

I'm warning you,

this ain't a good idea.

I mean, this and Dad

in one year...

Hello. This is Joey...

Ma? The machine's on.

Probably watching us on TV.

...after the beep.

Ma, pick up!

- Joey, are you all right?

- I'm all right.

You're bullshitting.

Let me talk

to the man holding you.

What?

Put him on!

Put him on now.

She wants to talk to you.

Talk loud.

She's a little deaf.

You asked for this.

Can you hear me?

This is a terrible

thing you've done...

scaring all those people!

Are you listening?

Scaring all those people!

Are you listening?

Well, you listen to me

and you listen good.

I'm an old woman.

He's all I have.

Don't hurt him, you hear me?

All right.

Don't you bullshit an old lady.

Don't you hurt my Joey!

I won't.

Promise me you won't hurt him.

If you don't promise,

you're bullshitting me.

- So you better promise!

- I promise!

Prove to me you're a nice boy.

Promise once more.

I promise.

Let me talk to Joey.

It looks like I'm

not gonna kill you.

Thanks, Ma.

Everything is OK.

I'll see you tomorrow.

That'll be nice. We'll go

find that new place tomorrow.

Maybe we'll have

dinner tomorrow night...

a little pasta fagioli.

That would be great, OK?

Sure. Whatever you want, Joey.

Ma, I gotta go. Ciao.

What are you doing?

You a Catholic?

I'm tired.

You a Catholic, Larry?

What?

If you do that,

you don't get to go to heaven.

You go straight to hell.

Larry, what are you doing?

You're scaring me! Oogie!

Don't call me Oogie!

This is not gonna

get you out of this.

I can get you out of this.

Let me talk to Mason,

let me make a deal.

Let me try something,

see if it sticks.

Let me talk to Mason.

Just give me a second.

That's all I need.

- Get Mason!

- Hang on.

Mason here.

That you, O'Brien?

Listen, if Chuck comes

out of here voluntarily...

doesn't he get a little

special treatment?

We'll give him a limo.

Take him to "The Dating Game. "

Really?

He deserves it, doesn't he?

Don't do that, Larry!

What?

I got it!

It was right there.

A plan.

Not just a plan, Larry.

The plan!

The plan that's going to

get you out of here.

And not just you, you and me.

Because you and me,

we're in this together...

you know what I'm saying?

If you don't get out,

I don't get out.

What kind of plan?

It's a complex plan...

but it's also real simple.

So stay with me, OK, Larry?

Stay with me, 'cause it's got

a lot of different parts.

If you lose one part,

the whole plan can fall apart...

you know what I'm saying?

The first part is...

you let everyone go.

That's good.

- Isn't it?

- What?

Except me. You and me

are in this together.

You let everybody go.

It's the first installment.

Makes 'em think about it.

Come on, Larry,

it gets everything moving.

If you don't like that,

change the plan.

It's our plan.

Make a new plan.

Work with me, Larry.

Not everyone.

Not him and not her.

That's a better plan!

Isn't it?

OK, you guys,

get out of here.

Come on! This way!

Come on! Run!

Do it! Let's go!

Get that guy out of there!

Run!

Good plan.

You made a good decision.

You ready for the second

part of the plan?

Here it comes, second part.

This is where we give 'em

a little incentive.

We're gonna wind Mason up

like a cheap watch. Ready?

You cut Donna loose.

Come on, Larry, you gotta...

No! I let everyone go.

I'm gonna let her go now?

Come on, Larry,

it's part of the plan.

Listen, what are you

gonna do this for?

Why hurt her anymore, right?

You've done enough for one day.

Look, you did that, Larry.

You almost blew

her goddamn head off.

You tried to kill her, OK?

What did she do to you?

Did she try and kill you?

No, she didn't.

She ran around a little on you.

Come on, Larry. Look at her.

What are you keeping her

around here for?

You gotta get it

in proportion, Lar.

Tell you something else, Larry.

She ain't the only woman

in the world.

I know what I'm talking about.

Larry, I don't wanna go.

Now you don't wanna go?

You wanna stay here?

You wanna stay here

and torture the f*** out of me?

Get out of here! Go!

F*** you!

I love you, Larry, you jerk!

Get her out of there!

Come on.

Sh*t.

Grab her. Come on!

Let go of me!

What are you doing?

You and Donna have

a special kind of love.

You got a good woman.

Harry, come over here, huh?

Look. Harry, Joe, and Larry,

the pep boys of love.

What's going to happen to me?

I'll tell you

what's going to happen.

You'll need a lot of help

to get you out of this.

No sh*t, 'cause

you're in pretty deep.

Here's where that help

comes from.

You know what kind of help

I'm talking about, Lar?

Money. Harry's got lots of it.

You ready to give Larry

that kind of help?

I get out of here in one piece,

you've got whatever you want.

- Anything you want.

- I got your word?

Because if you lie to me

and go back on him...

you'll be doing some

East River snorkeling...

- you know what I'm saying?

- You got my word.

How does that sound?

They're gonna come in

if you don't.

Is that a yes?

You with me?

Thanks.

Shake his hand.

You have my word.

I won't abandon you.
