Is That a Gun in Your Pocket? Page #7

people have had their

heads so far up their asses

I can hear them gasping for air.

How do you think

this is gonna end?

- I don't really

know mr rockford.

- I do.

It's gonna end with

people loosing their jobs.

These are the cold,

hard facts keely.

I'm not going to keep

this factory open

just to dole out paychecks.

Look at me.

You understand what I'm saying?

- I understand.

- Good.

- 101.

Can I get you anything else?

- No this is great.

Why are you being so nice?

- Easy to love someone

when you love 'em.

Loving someone

when you hate 'em,

that's the real deal.

- I love you too you know.

- I know.

I wish we could

end this craziness.

- I want nothing more.

- Then do it.

- I could say the same to you.

- They're laying people off.

- Yeah Cyrus isn't happy

with productivity dropping.

It's bound to happen,

I mean half the company's not

talking to the other half.

- Better make myself scarce.

- Good idea.

- Hey Dax.

Hey wait up.

What happened?

- Old man rockford fired me.

- Ah sh*t.

I'm sorry man, I didn't know.

He said that after this

strike thing is over

maybe he can hire some

people back, but...

He fired me on Skype.

That's kind of weird.

- Hey listen man

if you need help,

I got a little money saved.

- That's all right Glenn,

thank you though.

Thank you.

Take care now.

- Yeah.

- Thanks so much

for your support,

we really appreciate

you coming out.

Since when do you smoke?

- After five weeks without sex,

I am lucky I am

not smoking crack.

I miss my man.

I miss sharing my

feelings with him

while he stares at

me like a zombie.

And that vibrator,

whatever that throbzilla

doesn't have arms

to put around me.

- You'll survive Connie.

- It's not only that Jenna.

I'm scared.

I'm scared with all these lay

offs that Louis might be next.

I'm not sure this

whole thing's worth it.

- I don't know if

anything will come of this

but give it your best shot.

- Thanks Gladys.

Mr rockford?

I'm Jenna keely.

Glenn's wife.

If you're listening,

I'm pleading with you to

give people their jobs back.

And not to fire anyone else.

- We're going to offer these

girls 10 million dollars

to preserve freedom and

the American way of life.

- 10 million dollars

is an awful lot.

How about we just give every

gun owner that stays the course

a free ak47?

- You think that's gonna fly

with these nampy pampy

politicians in Washington,

especially after

your hooker fiasco?

No, 10 million dollars is safer.

- You're the boss.

- Where are you going?

- Campaign meeting.

- You're pretty dressed up

to go to a campaign meeting,

don't you think.

- Well just think if you

weren't being so stubborn

maybe I'd be getting

this dressed up for you.

Or maybe I wouldn't be

getting dressed at all.

- Ha, ha very funny.

Oh damn it Jenna.

How you doing sport?

- Okay.

- I was gonna grab some

pizza at ,

do you wanna come?

- No thanks.

- You sure you're okay?

You can tell your dad, you know.

- I never meant to hurt anybody.

- I know that.

- I wish I never picked

up that stupid gun.

I wish I never

picked up any gun.

- I'll bring you

back a couple slices.

Okay?

- Okay.

- You look great.

- Oh thanks.

- Would you like

something to drink?

- A glass of wine might be nice.

- Red or white?

- You choose.

- I saw you sitting here.

May I join you?

- Please.

- How goes the battle?

- Still raging.

- It is amazing to me

how depriving men of sex

can cripple a whole town.

- It can cripple

the whole world.

But then again so

can depriving women.

- You think so?

- You don't?

- Tell me something,

if you had to do

it all over again

would you do the same thing?

- I'm not really sure.

- I think a lot of women in

this town would say that's

a start mr keely.

- I suppose they would.

And it's Glenn.

- I'm just so tired of it all.

I'm tired of

fighting with Glenn.

Tired of dirty

looks from people.

I'm tired of pretending

to be strong.

- You are strong.

That's why you're

getting the dirty looks.

- I guess we are giving them

a run for their money, huh.

- 10 million buck from the ngo,

you bet your ass.

You are ruffling some feathers.

More?

- I guess one more

couldn't hurt.

- It's a little late

don't you think?

- We had a lot to discuss.

- I'll bet.

- What's that suppose to mean?

- I called Connie and Barb.

They didn't know anything

about a campaign meeting.

- I expect this from Sandy,

not from her mother.

- And I expect this

from my father,

not my husband.

- You been drinking?

- I had a glass of wine or two.

- Where were you?

- With Harlan.

He's my campaign advisor.

- And he took all this

time to advise you?

- You're not jealous are ya?

- Jealous of what?

Some nerdy high school teacher

wants to get into

my wives pants.

- Just because your

mind works that way

doesn't mean his does.

- Yeah right.

- Did you kiss him?

- Did you kiss her?

- Who, the sleazy reporter

with the fake b*obs.

- They're fake.

- Please she could stand on her

head and they wouldn't move.

Well did ya?

- No.

Did you?

- No, but we did have

sex in the parking lot.

- Are you sure nothing happened?

- There's something

i gotta tell you.

- Baby.

- No, no.

- What?

- Glen he's gay.

- You're just saying that

to make me feel better.

- No I promised

I'd keep it quiet,

but I don't want you

wondering about this

for the rest of your life.

- Oh man.

That's the first gay

guy I've ever known.

- Not exactly.

- Who else?

- His boyfriend.

- Yeah.

- No I can't say,

just let it go.

- How could you keep

something like that from me?

- Okay promise you

won't say a word.

- Promise.

- Byron.

- My Byron?

- I hope not.

- But he owns the gun shop.

- Well think how tough

he's had it at home.

- Oh man.

Everything's all upside down

and inside out.

I've never loved you as much

as I love you right now.

- Even after all this.

- Especially after all this.

- Why?

- You're doing something

you believe in.

No matter what

people think or say.

No matter what i

would think or say.

I don't have the

guts to do that.

- we can't do this.

- Yeah right.

- What's going on?

- What do you mean?

- With you and dad?

- Nothing.

- Mom.

You didn't.

- Didn't what?

- Sandy why don't you

drive Lance to school.

Take my car.

- So what now you're just gonna

lay around the house all day

and not go to work?

- Sandy, take a hike.

- I am very disappointed

in you mother.

- We'll talk about it later.

- I don't understand

anything in this house.

- All right.

Hold on.

Come on now.

Please settle down.

Please settle down, ladies.

Ladies the plain fact is

that if you continue on

with this strike rockford stands

to loose 10 million dollars.

- Ladies please.

Please ladies.

Ladies, ladies.

Think of how our town could

benefit from this money.

I mean new schools, new buses,

new community centers.

- That's Cyrus rockford.

- Think of all the...

- Evening.

- Holy sh*t.
