you don't even say good-bye.

Those dreams that dream

They're part of the tender trap

Some starry night

When her kisses make you tingle

She'll hold you tight

And you'll hate yourself

for bein'...

Empty the cash.

Come on, come on!

Move it, move it, move it!

Jjaks? Jjaks, is that you?

Damn it.

Just give me the money.

You wouldn't shoot me,

would you?

I'm not gonna shoot you.

Sorry, Bob.

In my life

There's been heartache and pain

I don't know

if I can face it again

Can't stop now

I've traveled so far

It's a candy dish.

Congratulations

on your marriage.

Good-bye.

Don't leave me.

I'm sorry.

Mommy!

- Oh, my God.

- Is she all right?

You...

You killed her.

You show up to my wedding

after no one invites you.

Mom invited me.

Get her all upset...

so she faints and dies

just like that.

Maybe it was you who upset her.

Me? Not me.

I was herfavorite!

She didn't send me off packing

when I was eight!

Stupid.

Hey, Freddie.

Sorry.

So how is married life

treating you?

That good, huh?

Hey, can I bum one of those?

Thanks.

Sorry about your mother, boys.

Mine died about six years ago.

Worstfuckin' day of my life.

I need a word with you, Jjaks.

Why? Huh?

What did he do this time?

Christ!

What did you do thatfor?

Tell me about the gas station

you knocked off.

I got a captain crawling

up my ass for an answer...

so I'm gonna take

a little refuge up yours.

Now that old guy, Bob...

he didn't see you,

but he heard you, right?

It's always something

when you show up.

It's notfinished

between me and you, Jjaks.

Just want you to know that.

I can't sleep.

It's cold in here.

Want another blanket?

Did you stay for me?

I stayed to bury my mother.

Tomorrow?

I'm taking off.

I know you've been

thinking about me.

'Cause I've been

thinking about you.

And when I do...

I can feel you inside me.

You want to be

inside me again, Jjaks?

We shouldn't.

Again.

I thought I told you to shave.

Sorry.

Have you ever

been to Vegas, Jjaks?

It's the best.

I went there when I was little

with my mom.

We met Ann-Margret.

Man, she was the coolest.

I mean, she was like...

Like a kitten with balls,

you know what I mean?

She gave me this.

She signed her picture

and gave me this.

It's supposed to bring me luck.

Let's just go.

Let's just start this thing up

and get out of here.

I can't.

Why? Why can't you see?

Maybe all this sh*t happened

with me, with you...

with your mom dying...

Maybe it happened

so we'd end up together.

I can't.

If you leave me here

with these bastards...

I swear you're a biggerfucker

than they are.

Don't you see?

Itfeels too good.

It's gonna turn to sh*t!

I just can't!

Come on. I can make you happy.

- Don't touch me.

- I can't sleep.

I'm not in the mood.

Get off of me.

For Christ sakes, Freddie.

You're my wife.

- I want to make love.

- I don't want it!

- Let me...

- No, it hurts.

Don't push me away. Please.

Sam, stop.

It hurts like that.

Come on. Get off me!

But itfeels good like that.

It's great out here.

Waitfor me. Come on.

Right over there.

What are you doing back here?

I got a car waiting outside.

For me?

You came back for me?

Where are we going?

What are you doing?

I'll be back in a minute.

Do you believe

in love atfirst sight?

Me neither.

It came with the car.

They're gonna be lookingfor me,

you know.

I know.

How young are you?

How old am I?

Let's count the rings

Around my eyes

How smart are you?

How dumb am I?

Don't count any

Of my advice

Meet me

- Anyplace

- Anywhere

Or anytime

Now, I don't care

Meet me tonight

Let me speak to Red orJoseph.

Look, I don't care

what time it is.

OK, I'm sorry.

Just give me the...

I gotta turn my life around.

I gotta do things different.

So is this doing things

differently...

running off

with someone else's wife?

You can't look at it like that.

I mean,

look at it like this...

Time is like...

an orange.

It's round.

It means that everything

repeats itself.

And everything that happens

happens for a reason.

Lieutenant Ben Something.

Some...

Costikyan! Yes!

Yes, just leave a message.

No, I don't need

to speak to anybody!

Just leave a message, OK?

Thanks.

The big promise I made myself...

was that I'd never spend

another day in prison.

Not one.

You want to know the truth?

You want to avoid prison?

Quit sticking up gas stations.

What I'm talking about

is different.

I'm just saying go home

one last time and get the money.

We have a little cash.

I gotfifty bucks

stuffed in my underwear...

and you've got enough

to springfor this swell place?

We left in a hurry, Jjaks.

We forgot.

- I know, but...

- Come on.

We're almost there.

Almost.

It's like, if I close my eyes...

I can see us in Vegas...

lying by a pool...

with water in it.

It's always sunny and warm.

And guys in white jackets

bring us daiquiris...

and all the food we can eat

forfour bucks.

And all the towels smell

like Downy fabric softener.

There's no clocks, no bedtime...

and when I get going there...

you can come see me

perform at night.

I'd be wearing

big redfeathers...

one of those things

on my head...

like crown things,

with diamonds in it.

When I come offstage

I'd be too wired to sleep...

so we'll make love

until morning...

sleep until 2:
00.

It's half my money, Jjaks,

right?

I'm his wife, right?

It's the law.

He kept saying that he

was gonna make me happy...

that he had all this

money stashed away.

So after everything...

let him make me happy,

Jjaks.

I just don't know

where he hides it.

What?

You know where, don't you?

Do you?

Look at me.

You told me to call, Ben.

Nothing.

He's back.

Alone.

I spend my whole life trying

not to come back here.

I always end up

coming back here.

Where's Freddie?

Why don't I just

put the money back...

and really never come back?

So you and my wife

can live happily ever after?

That sounds like

a really good dealfor me.

We're gonna go at it,

aren't we, Sam?

Big time.

Sh*t!

Bastard.

Sh*t.

You bastard! You piece of sh*t!

Take a little refuge up yours.

Jeez. You need a doctor?

I need a tank of gas.

Justfill it up.

Where's your can?

Hello.

I just saw a cop get beat up.

Ben... Ben Costi-hoo!

Costikyan.

Yes, I did. Jjaks Clayton.

I don't know. He just

beat the hell out of him.

He might be dead. Yes.

One-eighty-two Goodrich.

That's right. I don't...

Stop! That's my horse!

Clementine!

Hi, honey. I'm home.

What happened?

- I got him good.

- You need a doctor.

No. I hate doctors.

I always throw up

around doctors.

Sh*t. I can't believe this.

Look. This is what he did.

Christ.

I hung on to the sucker, though.

My God, that is disgusting.

I don'tfeel good.

Let me help you, OK?

I need to lie down.

Yeah, you should lie down.

You sure you know

what you're doing?

Be quiet.

You know how to operate this?

Look at that.

Isn't that your horse?

I didn't mean for this

to happen, Jjaks.

I'm so sorry.
