God's Pocket Page #4

So we were wondering if, uh, maybe

you were here when it happened.

'Cause the guy who got it,

he was an important guy.

Huh.

He always said he was important.

So how do you want to do this?

It happened the way

I said to the police.

And you Jew boys can do

it any damn way you want.

It don't matter to me.

"Jew boys."

Now, why you want to do that?

Did we insult you in any way?

Huh?

Come on.

Let's go somewhere we can talk.

Hit him, Ronnie.

F***ing hit him!

Oh, God!

You didn't bet the

6 horse, did you?

Well...

You're f***ing crazy.

And they're off at Keystone,

$15,000 claiming race.

The number 4 horse, One Hit

Wonder, takes an early lead.

My Oh Might tucked in at the rail

and Shana Three coming

up between the horses.

No Man's Land moves

up on the outside.

One Hit Wonder, Shana

Three, No Man's Land.

My Oh Might makes a

move on the inside.

One Hit Wonder, Shana Three,

and into third, Turning Leaf.

Turning Leaf stiff moving

up to the second spot.

One Hit Wonder, Turning

Leaf, Shana Three.

We're into the far turn,

and it's One Hit Wonder

showing the lead by a length

with Turning Leaf...

Come on, you motherf***er.

One Hit Wonder, Turning Leaf.

And it's Turning Leaf pulling in.

- Come on!

- Yes!

And at the top of the lane, it's

Turning Leaf moving into first.

Turning Leaf-One, Hit Wonder

holding on to second.

Please.

And passing the number 5 horse

is Holmesdale, the number 6.

Turning Leaf, One Hit

Wonder, and Holmesdale

racing up on the outside.

Turning Leaf,

Holmesdale on the outside.

It's the 6.

Turning Leaf, Holmesdale...

they fight it out,

and it's Holmesdale.

- Ohh!

- No.

I-I tried to tell you, Mick.

It was the 6.

Mm.

Hello?

Can I help you?

Uh, I'm looking for Mrs. Scarpato.

Yes.

You're Mrs. Scarpato?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Uh...

I'm Richard Shellburn

of The Daily Times.

Oh, my.

Uh, please come in.

This one makes his ears

look bigger than they were.

Oh.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

It didn't happen like

they said it happened.

There's something wrong with it.

I knew Leon, and he was my boy.

I know.

Mr. Shellburn?

So, um, what...

what kind of boy was he?

Hey.

What was that job, uh,

yesterday... 700?

It's old business. I took the meat.

F*** that.

Here.

I took the meat. Keep your money.

Take 7.

- Take 10, for the interest.

- Bird.

Look, I got maybe 12 grand here.

I owe Sal 20.

But if I give him 10, maybe

he'll lay off for a while.

7?

All right.

Thinking of taking

Sophie to Florida.

She wants to live in one

of those trailer parks

with her friends, grow

some sh*t in the yard.

Jack.

Jesus, God. You scared

the piss out of me.

Oh, sh*t.

You think people are gonna

smell this sh*t on her?

Irish funeral.

Listen, uh, I got a

problem with the money.

Oh, that's too bad.

Yeah, it's nothing permanent,

but if we have the service,

I could pay you back

in a couple weeks,

and if I can't get it back to

you then, I'll sell the truck.

How much money you got?

What about the f***ing

money from The Hollywood?

There was more than 700 there.

Things happen.

I'll get you the money.

I just... I-I got to

have the funeral,

and Jeanie's f***ed

up over all this.

That's nothing to me.

It's your f***in' woman and your

f***in' body unless I get paid.

Don't get hysterical.

I don't need my

business on the street.

You ain't got no f***ing business.

What you got is

something on the side.

No.

No, you bet a game, right?

You bet a f***ing game.

What I did has nothing

to do with you,

and what you got to worry about

is making sure that everything's

all right Saturday,

and then you get your money.

Sure, Mick.

Sure.

Yeah.

Don't look at me like that, Jack.

W-what?

What are you talking about...

look at you?

- Don't look at me like that.

- What?

Oh.

Motherf***er!

No need to panic.

I'll pay you back in a couple

weeks, a month on the outside.

You understand?

I'm sorry, Mick.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Let me... let me go get us a beer.

Leon always loved animals,

ever since he was a little boy.

He always wanted a dog

or a cat or something.

I used to think it would be nice to

live out in the country and have a few.

Think that country air would...

Mr. Shellburn?

I have a place by the water.

I've had it for a very long

time, and nobody knows.

I go there sometimes at

night, I drink too much,

and I wake up with the birds,

and things are growing

everywhere you look.

Do you need to know

anything else about Leon?

Yo, Mick.

I don't know what got

into me. I was wrong.

I need this done right.

We'll take care of it.

You and me got no arguments, Mick.

I hope you don't mind

going out the side.

I'm locked up in front.

I don't mind nothing.

I got to get this light fixed.

It's getting cold.

Yeah, it's a cold world.

What the f***?

Holy sh*t.

Oh, Jesus, Leon.

I need to know what

happened to my boy, please.

Oh, um...

can I call you tomorrow?

Yes, please.

Thank you, Mr. Shellburn.

Okay.

Jeanie?

I'm up here with Richard Shellburn.

He wanted to see Leon's room.

Richard Shellburn,

this is my husband.

Oh, um, yeah,

I'm sorry for your loss.

Um, you know, I think that's, uh...

I think it's all I need,

uh, for now.

Anything, please. If you

need anything, call me.

Okay.

It's all I have to do.

All right.

Jeanie, there's something

I need to tell you.

Jeanie.

Jeanie.

Everything set for tomorrow?

All set.

Just a few last-minute details.

Where's Arthur?

Who?

Where is he?

This is the way you do business...

scaring an old woman?

Oh, now... now you're

gonna steal from me?

He's in the back.

Want me go around back?

Yeah, he can't run,

but what the f***?

Well, he's... he's got the money.

He told me.

This ain't about the money.

You see my cousin out there?

Yesterday he had two eyes.

Now he's gonna have a piece of glass in

his f***ing head the rest of his life.

Without Arthur, what's

gonna happen to me?

If I were you, I'd shut my mouth.

Run for your life, Arthur!

What the f***?

Oh!

Sophie!

What are you doing, Sophie?

One second.

Oh.

This is my family, you hear me?

- You little f***!

- No, no, no, no!

I'll f***ing kill you, you f***!

Arthur, Arthur, Arthur!

- I'll kill you!

- Stop. Stop.

- Arthur, you're getting...

- Yeah!

You're getting blood all over

your pants. Just go change.

- The cops will be here.

- I swear to Christ, Sophie,

I didn't know nothing like

this was gonna happen.

Go change your pants.

You don't want people taking pictures

of you looking like this. Right?

- F***.

- Arthur.

That f***.

Arthur, this is not the time

to go wacko... not now.

Yeah, Operator?

I want to, uh, report that two

men tried to rob my flower shop.

Mickey left early.

He seemed different.

Hello.

This is Richard Shellburn.

Richard Shellburn.

Mr. Shellburn?

Uh, we need to talk.

Did you find something out?

I'D' pick you up.

Where are we going?

We're almost there.

Almost.

It all looks the same, doesn't it?
