Joe Page #7

That boy works his ass off!

He's earning money

and it's his!

If this truck's a piece of

sh*t, you need to get out of it.

And if I find out something's

happened to that boy,

I'm gonna whip whoever's ass

had something to do with it.

Now get the hell

away from me

before I knock what's left

of your f***ing teeth out.

I had the funniest

thought today.

I thought

maybe you and I

could go out to dinner.

You know?

Get all

dressed up.

Maybe you could...

hold the door

open for me.

I think

that would be nice.

You pretend to be

asleep, but...

I know you'd cry if

I said the wrong thing.

You know this place

is condemned, right?

You can't just take

the boards off windows

and call a place home.

Gary, why do you

stick around like this?

You're old enough, smart

enough to do your own thing.

What's most

important right now

is me taking care of

Dorothy and Mama,

'cause... we kind of got

a family problem right now.

Hey there.

Hey now.

Don't talk much,

does she?

- She don't talk at all.

- What do you mean?

I don't know. Nobody knows.

She just stopped one day.

I mean,

she used to would, but...

Well, hey, I'm ready to

make this deal if you are.

- Yeah.

- I got my money.

Hey, "G-Daawg. "

Don't you think

I forgot about it, bud.

I've been looking for you and that kid.

That boy of yours,

he sure thinks

he knows something.

I know you,

mister.

You my friend?

I ain't

your friend.

Well, you like to make

all them funny faces.

I said,

are you my friend?

Listen, buddy.

I think

I know a way

that you and me

can be friends.

There it is.

It looks just like

your old one.

It's periwinkle blue.

I like it.

I hope so.

Well, you got plenty

of gas to get home.

You might want

to stop at Coleman's

and put a little more in it

if you plan to ride around.

- Here.

- What's that?

It's the money

for the truck.

You just stick it

back in your pocket.

You're gonna need it

for insurance.

- What's insurance?

- Well, yeah, it's the law.

You can't drive

without insurance.

You're covered now,

but when I sign it over,

I'll tell you what. You come

out to the house before long,

we'll get you fixed up.

I'm gonna go on.

- You gonna be all right?

- Yes, sir.

All right.

Uh, you want me

to follow you?

Nah, I'll be all right.

Hey, Joe.

Thanks.

- Nice truck.

- Thanks.

You ain't got any tags

on it. You just get it?

Yeah.

You want to breathe

into this for me?

No, I don't want to

breathe into that.

Hey. Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Pull over!

Pull over!

God damn it!

I ain't done

a goddamn thing!

- Stay in your vehicle!

- I ain't drunk!

You better look for

someone else to mess with,

- 'cause I did nothing!

- Put your hands behind your back!

keep messing around with me,

I'm going to hurt you!

Put your hands

behind your back!

Come here!

I guess if I drive off now,

you're gonna get your shotgun

out of the back

and shoot me, huh?

- No.

- You gonna shoot me?

- No!

- You can do it.

That was quick.

Still got

that badass dog?

Yeah.

'Round here somewhere.

Hold on a minute.

Don't worry, okay?

Don't worry,

don't worry,

don't worry.

All right.

Hear you got

a new grandbaby.

I do?

- Yeah, you didn't know?

- Not till now.

Huh. Yeah,

a little boy.

Morrissey

saw him in church.

Said he looked just like

you'd expect him to look.

She said

he's got your eyes.

You okay?

Your son's all grown now,

ain't he?

Yeah. All grown up.

What's he going into,

law enforcement?

That's what

I heard.

You got a new man working

for you now, don't you?

Yes, I do.

Believe you've met him.

Gung-ho fella.

A little overeager.

- He was looking for someone to f*** with.

- Yeah, maybe so.

I'll have his ass

shuffling papers for a while

till he learns to

cool down a little bit.

But that ain't what

I'm worried about.

Can you pass

the hot sauce?

Let me ask you

a question, Joe,

'cause I really

want to know.

Why do you want

to go back?

Why do you want to go back

to the damn penitentiary, man?

'Cause you can't keep

going to folks' houses,

killing their dogs, no

matter what else is going on.

And you can't keep

fistfighting the law.

Judge won't put up

with it.

He don't have to

put up with it.

That's why

they built prisons.

Now you done got me

back to smoking, damn it.

I been quit

for three weeks.

I haven't mistreated you,

Joe.

Have I?

Tell the truth.

No, Earl. You stuck up

for me when you could.

And I used to be

as bad as you.

At one time,

you were worse.

Yeah,

but I'm cool now.

Connie,

where'd you go, baby?

Answer the phone

next time.

Hi.

Yo presiento

que Joe est aqui.

Joe, is that you?

Ests aqui?

Yeah, it's me.

Oh, sh*t.

What happened?

I need to borrow

the truck.

What happened

to you?

I'm gonna

kill him.

I'm gonna kill that

old son of a b*tch.

You think I won't,

but I will.

And I'ma

get mine back.

I just need to borrow that truck.

Come inside.

Don't touch me.

I should have given you

a boxing lesson.

I don't need no

goddamn boxing lesson.

I know what to do. I'll

pop him right in the eye.

He whupped my ass and

threw me out of the truck

'cause he knew that

I were gonna kill him!

I can kill his ass.

I can kill him just

as good as you could.

I know you could,

I know you could.

I know it.

But you don't

have to do that.

Okay, son?

Just stay here

with me.

You'll be safe here.

Bring your mama

and your sister.

He gots Dorothy.

He done run off

with her.

He met up

with some bad men.

I heard him

talking about it.

That man with

the scarred-up face-

the one that I beat

down by the bridge?

He been looking for me

for what I done did to him.

She don't

hurt nobody, Joe.

Should have been me.

Do you know

where they took her?

Gary...

tell me.

- Mm-mm.

- Tell me.

I just need

the truck...

to get me

someplace.

I'm gonna

make trouble.

Meet me outside.

$30.

$30 each.

Hi. Hi.

How you doing?

You okay?

Huh?

Tell me

something.

You like

funny faces?

If anything

happens to me,

you get your ass

out of the way, you hear?

You take my truck

and get out.

- Yeah.

- And go get Coleman.

Yes, sir.

Tell him

to call Earl.

Sh*t!

Oh, no!

No, no, no, no-

- Don't move.

- God damn it!

I'll kill you both

if you move.

Joe, listen to me.

This-

it ain't what it

looks like, man.

I'm telling

you.

- Dorothy! Dorothy!

- Get her out, Gary.

Take your sister

and go. Go! Go!

You. I don't know you.

Run, before I shoot you.

No, no, no, no!

Joe, listen to me.

Just listen to me, okay?

Gary! Gary!

- Gary!

- I'll get help, Joe!

Please.

God damn it.

That girl, she-

she don't know sh*t

about sh*t, man.

She's just a piece of trash,

just like her daddy,

and she's gonna be

doing this sh*t in no time,

I'm telling you.

I'm telling you, man.

Look at the moon.

God damn it!

Oh, sh*t!

Ah, f*** this sh*t!

If you want to shoot me,

go ahead and shoot me.

I went through a

windshield and I don't give-

Are you my friend?
