Question is, who's going to

take care of little Stephanie?

That's who I'd be worried

about if I were you, Jack.

I'll be goddamned

if some street-walking whore

is going to walk away

with my father's fortune.

If you're trying

to protect her, don't.

You're going to kill the b*tch.

If you want to live,

if you want those

that you care about to live,

you'll do this.

Come on.

What are you doing?

I was letting myself in.

How'd you do that?

It was open.

I was worried about you.

- Are you okay?

- It was open?

Oh f***.

Wasn't smart.

You know I could've killed you.

What are you gonna do?

What, am I going to kill you?

Should I?

I just came

to see if you were okay.

What have you gotten me into?

Huh?

It's may.

My name.

May.

That's a pretty name

for a pretty girl.

So tell me, did you

ever really love Duffy?

Yes, I did...

At first.

He was... charming.

There was something kind

about him.

And what happened?

He changed.

Started watching

everything I did,

everywhere I went.

He said that he made me...

That he owned me.

I was afraid of him.

I'm on wife 4.

You're ready to do something

behind my back.

Tell me, Jack, just what is that?

What is that?

Somebody went over there at

5:
00 in the f***ing morning?

Go home, may.

I'm gonna take care of all this.

How?

Just go home.

I'll handle it.

Hey.

Carl around?

Yeah, he's in the back

in the gym.

All right, thank you.

What's up, dude?

Timing, timing.

Excuse me.

Hey, guys.

You gotta be kidding me.

- Fellas.

- Frank.

You must have grown some balls

or you're just plain f***ing

stupid coming here, son.

You've come to buy a car?

Well, where's my package?

I don't... I don't have your

money, if that's what you mean.

This guy, man.

So you don't have my money,

you don't want to buy a car.

What the f*** do you want, Jack?

I want to talk to Paulie.

You are talking to Paulie.

Everything that goes through

him has to come through me.

With all due respect, I...

I got to talk to him alone.

All due respect?

All due respect?

I'll give you some advice, Jack.

Get the f*** out of here.

You heard him,

get the f*** out of here.

And get my money, Jack.

- Dumb-ass.

- Let's get back to it.

Carl, please, Carl.

Let me talk to him for just...

just for a second.

Please.

All right, Jack.

But you've just signed

your own death warrant.

You know, Jack, I...

I feel like maybe

you're not here

to give me my money,

but you want to talk to me.

I can feel it.

I'm in a lot of trouble.

Something terrible has happened.

Yeah, like what?

I... put a man

to sleep...

For good.

It was a total f***ing

accident, I swear.

- An accident?

- Yeah.

Sh*t happens.

The first time

I f***ing killed a guy,

it was kind of an accident too.

I was just trying

to talk to this guy, you know?

And he really wasn't

in the mood to talk,

and so I had to get

a little bit rough with him.

And then,

I guess...

He passed, you know?

I had to throw him in the trunk.

But by me killing

this f***ing guy,

I wasn't following orders.

What'd I do?

I left this f***ing guy

in the trunk

for a long time.

That's why they call you

Paulie trunks?

Yeah. You're quick.

That's right.

I don't... I don't know

how I got into all this mess.

A woman.

And what is this woman's name?

May.

May? May what?

I don't...

I don't know, Seglio?

Seg... Seglo?

Something like that.

You f***ed Duffy's wife?

Well, no, I...

no, I didn't f*** her.

I just... we just

messed around a little bit.

You messed around

with another...

you know, where we come from,

that's a death sentence,

you know that?

I myself would kill anybody

who did that.

I understand that.

And that's a good rule.

I get it.

But you didn't f*** her,

and Duffy

has a certain propensity

for doing this kind of sh*t

to other people.

Yeah,

his weird-ass brother, too.

Yeah. Lewis?

Yeah, now that crazy

motherf***er wants me...

To kill her for him.

Madon, madon, madon.

What about a piece?

A piece of what?

You know, you know...

A thing.

A thing?

I got plenty of f***ing things.

What kind of thing you want?

A gun.

I need a f***ing gun.

Oh.

- You want a gun?

- Yeah.

You a tough guy now?

Let me ask you something.

Do I look like

a f***ing pawnbroker to you?

I got nowhere else to go.

Make sure you get this

into Lewis's hands, you hear?

All right?

You know, when you

give a piece to somebody,

you start to then find out

who your real friends are.

- Are you my friend?

- Yes, sir.

Yeah.

I should put it in...

- no, you might blow your dick off.

- Oh yeah.

I'll put it

in the back. Right.

- Get out of here.

- Yes sir. Thank you.

May, you in here?

Jack, what are you doing here?

I told you I'm going

to take care of this.

I didn't think

you were going to come back.

Yeah, well, surprise surprise.

- You going somewhere?

- We're going somewhere.

- We have to lay low.

- Just stay in your room.

I told you

I'm gonna handle this sh*t.

Just stay there, don't come out.

You gonna kill me now, a**hole?

Not now, motherf***er.

You f***in'...!

Lewis.

F*** you!

It's... it's over, may.

Put the gun down.

May, he's unconscious.

Put the f***ing gun down.

Oh, Jack.

I'll take it from here.

I really, truly am sorry.

Pull the trigger, may.

You're so pathetic, honey.

Don't beg.

Goodbye, Jack.

Holy sh*t.

Get rid of this for me.

What am I, David Copperfield?

Yeah.

I'll let you live

under one condition,

you get the f*** out of here.

I don't want to see you

again, you understand?

Do you understand me?

Yeah, I... I understand.

All right,

get the f*** out of here.

- Yeah, yeah.

- You're welcome.

Thank you.

I'll take that, Jack.

And, Jack, don't forget

about that death warrant.

Okay, killer, stay here

and watch this bag.

I'm going to go say goodbye

to some old friends, okay?

I'll be right back.

How's that Viagra

working out for you?

Hey, Jack, the usual?

No.

No, not today, buddy.

You know, you look like sh*t.

Yeah, look at you.

I'm not going to be

playing cards anymore, Oscar.

And I've been asked

to leave town, tonight,

for good. That's it.

What are you doing here then?

I came to say goodbye to you...

And thank you

for trying to get me

to quit gambling

all these years.

I wish I'd listened to you.

Good luck out there, man.

Thank you.

Thanks, man.

- Stacey, my favorite waitress.

- Jack, what happened to you?

I was breaking up

a bank robbery.

This is for you.

It's for forgetting your name

all these years.

This is it.

I'll see you down

the road, okay?

Sweetie, get me a gin and tonic.

Jesus, Jack,

what happened to you, man?

You don't want to hear it.

Good luck to you, Jack.

Stephanie, honey, get the door.

Mom, can you get it?

No, Stephanie, get the door,

I'm in the middle of something.

Stephanie, that better be

homework you're doing.

Jack?

You take your time

to see lights everywhere

fascination's right there

in your eyes

nobody can stop music

in your head
