Dog Eat Dog Page #6

'cause that Brennan guy

hasn't shown up for anything.

Nobody's heard from him,

he's disappeared.

No, we didn't deal with Brennan.

There was a soldier in there,

some Mexican guy.

That was Brennan.

- I don't follow.

He has, like, a Mexican mom,

an Irish dad,

and he's a totally

Latin-lookin' dude,

so that was Brennan.

You shot Brennan.

No, because on his ID,

it said Joe vasquez.

Look, grecco, I'm not-

I'm not sure about this, okay?

Well, I'm sure about it.

I'm 100 percent

f***ing sure about it.

You shot the guy

what was the guy

that was supposed to pay

the ransom money.

So- so what's what? I mean,

what are we gonna do here?

I don't know.

I mean, chepe's not gonna be happy

about Brennan gettin' whacked.

But, on the other hand,

you didn't try to cheat him

so he'll get over it, I hope.

I hope.

I mean, he has to understand that

there's a certain likelihood that-

he don't have to

understand sh*t.

He doesn't understand sh*t.

He's a stubborn f***ing

pig-headed beaner.

But I will try to

cool him off, Troy.

All right, I mean, look,

we're almost outta gas here.

- What's that supposed to mean?

It means we're out of money.

We were counting on this to-

to work out.

Everyone's down to their

last nickel right now, so-

All right, uh,

meet me in the morning.

Nine, uh, make it ten...

...at, uh, at captain taco's.

By the bagel place.

Yeah, exactly.

I'll get ya some dough and we'll see

what we're gonna do about chepe.

I mean, he should

cool off eventually...

I hope.

All right, I'll see ya tomorrow

at ten.

By the bagel place.

Okay, peace.

Man, would you stop bustin'

my balls about this sh*t?

We run in, run out, we'll be

outta there in two minutes.

Why don't you just

f***in' humor me?

Are you f***in' kidding me

with this sh*t?

This f***in' joke

was already startin' to stink.

I do not have time

for this sh*t.

Dude everyone's got their own

form of preparation, all right?

Everyone has their

own f***ed-upness.

Everybody self-medicates.

Everybody has their own damage

and malfunction and whatnot.

And mine ain't any worse

than yours is,

and I ain't in any less

in control

than you are so-

- okay.

Just get the f*** out

of the f***ing car!

All right, okay, okay!

F***!

- F***!

You better not be

dickin' with me.

Oh, f***.

Gimme five minutes,

just five minutes

to get my groove on,

and then we're outta here.

Yup.

- Ps,

you know that place we're goin',

it's like totally close,

so it won't be a problem.

You said it was towards Toledo.

It's real close.

Listen,

i wanna tell ya somethin'.

And it's like a real cone

of silence.

Just between you and me, right?

Dog.

It goes no further.

I got no one to tell.

Yeah, well, i-

i want you to promise me

that you won't get mad at me

before I say it.

I'm not shittin', man,

this is serious.

It's personal,

it's personal to me.

It's not business.

Okay, shoot.

I know you don't like me.

- Ah, Jesus, man.

No, it's okay,

i know you don't like me,

and a lot of times

i don't like me either.

But what I wanted to tell ya is,

I see the relationship

you have with Troy,

and how you handle things,

and I just want ya to know

that I really admire it.

Just try to be

businesslike, man.

No, f*** that, I see you got

a good thing goin'.

You- you just got, like...

You got esp.

You just get in that zone,

and I admire it.

And,

i guess what I'm sayin' is...

I always wanted

to be your friend.

Come on, dog, you're my friend.

- No, no, no, like a true friend.

Like you are with Troy,

a real friend,

where there's mutual respect.

Oh, man.

You know you gotta earn that.

I understand. No, I get that.

I respect that, absolute, but,

you know, it's just there's

this thing that I wanna tell ya.

I'm dyin' to tell ya, but...

It's, like,

the worst thing in the world.

The worst thing in the world.

All right, all right, all right.

Just finish this, man.

Right, okay. No problem.

Okay.

We're goin'.

What is it, dog?

What?

What is it, dog?

I mean,

with what we've been through,

how f***in' bad could it be,

seriously?

Whatever it is, let's get it

on the f***in' table right now.

I appreciate that, man.

I mean, you know, I try to be

better than I've been.

You know,

I've tried to pray on it...

I know that I'm responsible

for myself and stuff,

but, you know, that-

it's f***in' Sheila, man.

I mean, she's just one of

those people that knows.

You know, she just...

You know, people that know how

to push your buttons and sh*t,

and then there's special people

that just know,

they just f***in' know

how to take ya to that place

where you're f***in'

way over the line,

and she just does that, man,

and it's like she...

She wants the

worst thing to happen.

Well, she took it to that place,

and that was it.

What about the kid?

And the kid, the kid too,

the f***ing kid.

That kid, I can't stand it.

Jesus Christ, are you kiddin' me,

with a mother like that?

You're not gonna judge me?

Dis!

I mean, i-

i looked to you to be a friend.

I mean, to be a friend, you know,

what accepts ya, 'cause...

See, that's all I ever wanted,

was unconditional love-

oh, god, I f***ed this sh*t up!

Look, look, look,

man, I understand.

Can I just ask you one thing,

a logistical thing?

Is this really far out

f***in' place that we're goin',

is this where you dumped

Sheila and the kid?

I wanted to put

that Mexican dude here

so I could put a period

on that part of my life, man.

You know what I mean?

I wanna make a strong action

and f***in' change some things

so I could be the person

that I know I could be.

Okay.

You'll help me do it, yeah?

Yeah.

You'll f***in' help me

untangle my life

and make myself a person

that doesn't make me

f***in' wanna throw up

every time I pass a mirror?

Listen, dog, you are a

f***in' pain in the ass.

You don't know when to shut up.

You don't know when to listen.

And you have absolutely no idea how

to f***in' control your emotions.

That said, never lied.

- No.

You never f***ed me over.

- No.

In fact, I don't think you've

ever really f***ed up on a job.

So if you reach out to me and you

say that you genuinely want my help,

that you're ready to glue

your f***in' life back together,

there's absolutely no way

i can f***in' say no to that.

Deal?

Yeah, f*** yeah, deal.

I was 16 when I signed up.

Semper paratus, always ready.

Didn't work out.

Somethin' about me not keepin'

my foot locker locked.

So you know this place?

Yeah, it was shut down

since I was maybe 25.

Just go to the left.

Over there?

Yeah.

I got a key.

Tomorrow, clean slate.

End of all of this sh*t.

So can I just ask you,

and I want you to be frank

'cause I really do respect you.

I mean, do you think

people can change?

I mean, like,

if your behavior's one way,

that you can, like, alter it?

You got a spot?

Yeah.

Like a hole?

It's not a hole.

You'll see.

Set him down.

Where you put Sheila?
