Yeah.

What?

Don't seem to be talking-

doing a whole lot

of talking right now.

Kinda look like

you in bad shape.

Who the hell you think you are? You

ain't my daddy, you motherf***er!

Look at me! You seen what I did

to that motherf***er on the bridge?

I'll beat your ass!

Son of a b*tch!

I'm about through

messing with you!

I been out looking

for f***ing money!

I been out looking

for a f***ing job

to feed your worthless

f***ing face!

Yeah. You stupid, little piece of sh*t.

Yeah.

I know you got money

hid around here, boy.

You know what?

I'm gonna come back.

I'm gonna get it.

I'm gonna find it

and I'm gonna get it.

Hey, wake it up,

wake it up.

Earl, please, give me

a goddamn cigarette, man.

Please.

I'm begging you.

You're on your way

out of here anyway, man.

All right.

- I called your bondsman for you.

- Thanks, buddy.

How come he's getting out of here?

Aw, knock it off, Cokie!

Knock it off!

Oh, man, thank you

so much, buddy.

Thank you, buddy.

- What do they got me charged with?

Sh*t, a heap. DUl,

assaulting an officer, resisting

arrest. You want some more sh*t?

Oh, oh- you know

where they took my truck?

There's a kid

who wants my truck.

Wasn't here last night. We

can sure find out, though.

You were, 32 when you went

to the pen the first time.

What are you now,

48, 49?

- 48.

- Getting old, Joe.

Be a lot harder on you

every time from here on out.

But who am I to tell you

how to live your life?

Yeah.

That's a good one.

Come on, man. Come on, get it together.

Sh*t, man.

You kidding me?

Yeah, I'd like to get

a number on a-

like, a dog rescue,

or-

You don't have a number

on a dog rescue?

Well, I'm reporting

a lost dog.

Yeah. It's an

American bulldog.

Brown and white.

Female.

90 pounds.

What are you

doing here?

Um...

Mr. Coleman

told me

you got into a little

trouble with some cops.

That all

you heard?

They said you got put

up at that jail too.

You don't still want

my truck, do you?

Yes, sir.

You do?

They said you got put up

at the big jail one time.

- Coleman told you that?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I have.

I did 29 months

in the penitentiary

for assault

on a police officer.

They pulled me over behind

a shopping center uptown.

This one officer-

some pretty-boy type guy-

had some issue with me.

He thought I had something to

do with one of the girls he knew.

I didn't know what the

hell he was talking about.

Then they

tried to shoot me

after I beat the sh*t

out of all three of them.

Or one did.

Deputy went for his gun

and I grabbed it.

And...

well, he was fixing to

kill me. He told me he was.

All he did was blow

his kneecap off.

Jackass.

My dog

run off last night.

You want to go

look for her?

Sure.

You want me

to drive the truck?

You gotta start

sometime.

Don't look at

them. Don't wave to them,

'cause they know you're guilty

of something when you wave.

A cop can mess you up

if he wants to.

Yeah, I made

the mistakes,

but they're the ones that

won't ever let me live it down.

Hey, can I buy one

of them beers off you?

Oh, I don't know.

Uh...

you can drink

one of these beers,

but you cannot

buy one from me.

Friends don't ever need

to buy things from me.

There you go.

Nice and cold.

Keep your eyes

peeled.

For the cops

or the dog?

Both.

"Cops or the dog. "

You hear that?

That's the sound that

gets the hookers excited

'cause they know

you got cash.

They hear that...

# You can stay

just as long as you like... #

You want to learn

how to make a cool face?

All right, anatomy

of a cool face.

Make a face of pain.

Now smile.

No, smile

on top of the pain.

Hold the pain.

Smile through it.

You ain't drunk,

are you?

Sh*t,

I better drive.

You know what, Gary?

You got it made.

Just think about

all the beautiful girls

you're gonna f***.

Now, I used to know a girl

who lived around here.

Sh*t.

Where's my dog?

I raised that dog

from a pup.

- Dog!

- There's a lot of construction here

'cause they're building

that Hindu temple.

Gonna have lots

of "Bombanese" kids.

Little red dots

in the center of their head...

like a laser beam.

- Hey!

- You better work on that cool face.

You gotta stand like

you on land, all right?

Now you make

the pain face, right?

You got a lot

on your mind.

Now smile.

Yeah, it's like...

"I got a lot on my mind,

but I can do it.

I can get through it. "

Yeah, there you go.

Yeah, that's cool!

# Well, I'll be ready

in the morning, baby #

# Mmm, don't you

worry a bit #

# I got a dry place here,

yes, indeed #

# And you can

have it all... #

The dog weighs a hundred pounds.

Has long ears,

with a docked tail.

What was that?

Yes, ma'am, I meant to

get around to doing that,

but I did a halfway job on my dog.

- A halfway job?

- Halfway, ma'am.

- Well, halfway how?

- Halfway.

Hello.

- Hello, hello.

So, I'm missing my dog,

and the dog is-

No, uh-uh. That stuff

will make you crazy.

Well, I'm a pretty

long way from crazy.

But my dog's about 100

pounds, brown and white.

- Looks like a cow.

- Looks like a cow?

- Right.

- You have a dog that looks like a cow?

Well, it's not

that big a deal.

A lot of dogs look like

cows. But here's the thing.

If you happen

to see my dog,

no matter what time,

you call.

- Day or night. All right?

- Okay.

Have we already

drove past that place

where you last

saw your dog?

- No. Why?

- I think the dog will be there.

No, the dog

run off.

If I was a dog, that's

where a dog would be.

That's where

I would go.

- You be careful with him, okay?

- All right.

- Be careful driving, baby.

Call me.

- Okay.

- All right.

# Look at me, amazed

# Like you got yourself

a soft touch #

# A good deal

to keep a man #

# Yes, you do.

I'll be damned.

No, wait.

Wait, don't.

Huh?

Aw...

- The dog likes you.

- She has a lot of scars.

Yeah.

But all the others...

all the others is dead.

Thanks for helping me

find my dog.

Yes, sir,

no problem.

You work hard.

You got

a good heart.

Anybody

messes with you,

you let me know.

I'll f*** 'em up!

Right.

Hey...

Take it.

You're gonna

need it.

- No.

- To get girls.

Huh? See?

There you go.

Okay.

That's it. You got it.

- Thank you.

- It ain't anything. Go on.

I'm gonna take this one

to the opera.

To the opera,

yeah.

F***.

Aw, sh*t.

I don't have a lighter.

...the numbers from yesterday.

We had a high of 92,

officially.

That's two degrees above the

average of 90 for the day.

68 was our low.

...temperatures

are concerned.

You got a light?

- Yeah.

- Hop in.

Your boy's

a good worker.

That's the hardest f***ing

work I ever done in my life.

Is it?

- Yeah. You paying my boy?

- What?

- Are you paying my boy?

- Hell, yeah.

I ain't seen

he got paid none.

Probably saves it

'cause he's smart.

Buying this GMC

off of me.

Doing what?

- Nothing.

- Yeah.

He ain't so smart.

He don't know nothing.

Hell,

neither do you.

I'm gonna

shoot you straight.
