Crackers

We got more than we need

But we don't even notice

Right before our eyes

Our dreams just up and fade away

We keep givin' up more tears

And losin' hope for something better

Of pain and disappointment

We got more than we need

We got more than we need

Enough fear and confusion

To keep us busy running

Reaching out so desperately

We keep wasting our faith on illusion

Risking it all on a roll of the dice

If our past is the dreams of tomorrow

Then we're travelin' together

We got more than we need

Of old lies and deception

Hi, Maxine. Hello, Slam Dunk.

Made your quota today? [ Groans

] I had it covered by lunch.

How about yourself?

Still working on it, baby.

Still working on it.

We keep thinking the path of resistance

Is too steep Oh, why, thank you.

Gentlemen are so rare these days.

How can I ever repay you?

And we're travelin' together

We got more than we need

And we don't even know it

Oh, why, thank you.

Gentlemen are so rare

these days. How can I...

Is more than we could ever see

If working won't do

Then it should be for something better

'Cause of the things that matter

We got more than we need

We got, we got

We got more than we need

And we don't even know it

Hey, let's check these guys out.

Then it should be for something better

'Cause of the things

that matter Hi, David.

[ Clock Cuckooing ]

Hello?

Hi, Maxie. Hi, Maxie.

Careful, fellas, you might spoil

me with too much attention.

How are you doing, Turtle?

I don't know.

Well, you think about it.

Oh, wait! Ho! Hey, girl, wait a minute here!

Say, you a lot of trouble for me!

You never pay anyway.

It's the principle! You're just lucky

it's on blocks and hard to tow,

or it would have been gone by now.

You're finished! Do you mind?

[ Laughs, Jumps Two Checkers ]

[ Jumps Three Men ]

Mind? No, I don't mind. [ Jumps Three Men ]

I can win now, I can win later.

I don't mind.

Say, Mr. Fix-It, can't you

keep that b*tch in line?

I told ya, don't call her a b*tch.

Lighten up, Fix-It.

Now b*tch don't mean nothing.

I call my old lady that.

Call 'em all that. Say, b*tch! Oh, oh.

See? Boardwalk, are you here on business?

Yeah.

What, a baby carriage?

You want to sell a baby carriage?

Baby carriage?

Compare this to a baby carriage,

you talking Toyota to Cadillac.

I mean, you either got a

car, or you got a ride.

We're talking chrome wire

wheels, front disc brakes.

Sure. Ten dollars.

Man, this book from 1935. The

carriage is from 1932. Here.

Garvey, you don't understand,

This old sh*t's comin' back.

Look here, they got a

blanket, a little pillow.

Look at the tires, they're radials.

Never wear out.

Ten. Ten?

[ Phone Ringing ] Ten.

Did you move? Answer the phone.

[ Ringing Continues ]

Hello. Mama, how you doing?

Mama, I'll be there.

It's your 90th birthday.

[ Laughs ] Sure, Mama.

No, Jerry won't be there.

Because he's dead, Mama.

He's been dead for ten years.

That's right. That's why

he wasn't there last year.

[ Chuckles ] Anything I can bring you?

Huh?

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

No, Mama, I can't bring that.

Why? Because the doctor has to prescribe it.

You know that.

Look, I got to go now, Mama.

Yeah. Yes, I'll be there.

I promise. All right? All right, Mama.

[ Hangs Up Phone ]

So what are you looking at? You never

saw a son talk to his mother before?

Yeah. Here.

[ Clock Chiming ]

[ Baby Crying ]

Damn!

Ooh, Tyrone.

[ Crying Continues ] Oh.

I wouldn't forget you. You know that. Here.

I'm just taking care of him for this

afternoon, 'til Slam Dunk's done.

Turtle!

You don't be robbin' no baby, man.

Jesus Christ!

My God, Turtle. What...

Move the carriage, huh?

[ Sighs ] How's your mother?

Ninety. Come on, it's your move.

It's gonna cost you more this time. What?

Me. Guarding the store

when you go see your mother.

We're gonna have to make it

25 bucks for the day.

Twen... What is this, a welfare office?

What do you mean "welfare"?

You know how much a real

security guard would cost ya?

Move. I'm not on welfare. I

don't believe in welfare.

You believe in eating?

It's a temporary layoff.

Temporary. Huh, six months? I

talked to Kurnitz yesterday.

He said things were picking up. He

said he'd have me back on the job.

Takes time. Hey, Garvino.

How's it going? Listen, McGarvey.

Hey, baby. You miss daddy?

Any dumb punkers been picking on ya?

[ Amplifier Feedback ]

Don't worry about it, baby,

'cause we are reunited.

How much?

Twenty bucks.

Twenty bucks?

That's a brand new BMW radio, man.

You know what those things go for?

Yeah. 326 bucks.

Then how come only $20?

Well, a piece as hot as this, they

could raise my fire insurance.

No, Garvey. My brother-in-law give it to me.

Your brother-in-law drives a BMW?

[ Chuckles ] Twenty bucks.

[ Continues ]

[ Sniffs ]

All right, all right.

That's enough with that noise, eh? Come on.

Hey, Garvey,

she's mine.

Have you read a newspaper lately?

Today's the 16th. She's

been mine for a week now.

I got the money. Clean green, pal.

Twenty-five dollars. It ain't 25.

It is. That's what you gave me for her.

That's what I gave you.

That's not what you give me.

I'm in business. I have to make a profit.

Capisce?

How much profit? Well, read the tag.

[ Clock Cuckooing ]

A hundred and fifty dollars!

Now, look, I know it ain't much,

but they don't want that kind anymore.

You scumbag!

You thievin', low-life, son of

a puke brain, bastard b*tch!

She's mine! Wait a minute.

You want a guitar, I want a burglar alarm.

You put one in that works,

we'll figure something out.

You kidding me? You sleazy,

bloodsucking ditz!

I don't make deals with leeches!

[ Puts Guitar Down ]

Tomorrow for the morning, he does it.

Oh, the hell I will!

I ought to tear your head off

and sh*t down your neck!

Such a sweet kid.

All he needs is a chance.

Is that the way you're gonna go? Of course.

Dillard, you listen to me, okay?

I ain't helping that bastard!

I know. But you said I would.

No, I said you can fix the alarm. Well?

I bet you can fix it good. Que no?

You mean, fix it so's we can get in?

[ Baby Crying ]

You hear anything?

You talking to me? Yeah.

I didn't hear nothing. Baby's crying.

Besides, I don't talk Mexican.

[ Baby Cooing ]

I don't think it's a good

idea. I don't know.

Dillard, you not to worry, okay?

For a city boy lover

Stuck here 'til you come to
