Killer Joe Page #6

for some reason.

Huh.

I'm starving.

Mmm.

- You hear about the insurance?

- Sharia.

- Yes, I did.

- I don't know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

It's not your fault.

- Yeah, but...

- Chris.

That Chris is so stupid, I could

have told you he'd f*** this up.

- Why didn't you?

- Why didn't I?

It's just an expression, really.

What is?

What she said. That she could

have told you Chris would f*** it up.

I've never heard of that expression.

- A manner of speaking, really.

- I never liked that little bastard.

- You haven't?

- Mmm-mmm.

He's just no good.

You can't trust him.

- You never really hit it off.

- All he cares about is himself.

- That's not fair.

- Bullshit fair, it's true.

It's really all anybody cares about

if you think about it.

- No wonder.

- No wonder what?

No wonder Chris wound up

the way he did.

- What the f*** did I do?

- Just shut up.

I mean, how stupid do you have to be

to let an idiot like Rex

take advantage?

- Rex?

- Yeah, Rex.

- What about Rex?

- I said...

I said, how stupid do you have to be

to let an idiot like Rex

-take advantage?

- Yes, I heard what you said.

- Tell me about Rex.

- Rex is Adele's boyfriend.

Was.

Was Adele's boyfriend.

Tell me about Rex.

- What do you want to know'?

- Not you.

- You.

- What?

You. Tell me about Rex.

What do you mean?

Now, you know the man, don't you?

I mean, you have met.

- Yeah, of course.

- Tell me about him.

I don't know what you mean.

Is he tall, is he fat, is he Chinese?

Where does he work, how old is he,

do his ears hang low?

Is he unlike other men?

Tell me about Rex.

Rex is...

I don't get this, really.

Who told you about our arrangement?

What arrangement?

The contract between

myself and this family'?

- Ansel.

- Why?

Well, she is my wife, Joe.

- I wasn't addressing you, sir.

- Okay.

- Why did he tell you?

- I'm his wife, like he said.

Were you gonna get

a cut of this money?

- Sure.

- Why?

'Cause I'm his wife, like he said.

Did you advise Ansel

against the idea?

No.

Why?

You could have told him

Chris would f*** it up.

It's none of my business.

But it is, isn't it?

I mean, it is your business.

What are you getting at?

If you were going to

share in the money,

then it is your business, isn't it?

Yeah, I don't know.

Yet you did not advise Ansel,

your husband, against it.

Look, I wanted some of that money,

all right?

If Chris could pull this off

then I...

Were you gonna split Ansel's share

or were the four of you

gonna split it evenly?

- We didn't discuss that.

- I'm sure you did.

You're a practical woman.

Well, I assumed

that I would take a fourth.

Not one-half of one-third.

- No, a fourth, four ways.

- Instead of one-sixths.

One-sixths.

No. Four ways.

So the remainder of the money

would be split evenly

after I'd been paid my fee.

-$25,000.

- Right, right. Right.

- Yeah, right after you were covered.

- Which means equal shares.

What would those four equal shares

come out to?

- I haven't done the math.

- Well, then do it with me. Right now.

The insurance policy gets covered.

The agent Filpatrick

cuts Ansel a cheque.

Dottie. That would be Dottie.

Right, best of all

possible worlds, Dottie.

Look, I don't know

why we're doing all this.

We're not gonna see

any of that money!

Just watch my feet here, all right?

Ah. Mmm.

- So Ansel gets the cheque.

- Dottie.

- Dottie.

- Look, if the cheque is for 100,

we pay you 25.

- How much?

-25.

How much, though, the policy is for'?

However much. How much?

-50 thousand.

- That much.

-50 minus your 25.

- Right, minus my 25,

but you said 100, didn't you?

Yeah, however much, minus your money.

No, but you said 100.

- Yeah, however much.

- The cheque is for 100.

- However much.

- But you said 100.

However much, minus your 25.

She was mistaken, Joe. It's 50.

All right'?

IS it?

Yeah.

Stick around for witches

as Christopher Lee

unearths a whole coven

at the Horror Hotel

Join us for more of our George Raft

marathon. Starting with Whistle Stop.

F***! Come on!

Isn't it?

No.

Wait a minute!

In case of accidental death,

the figures double.

Right, Filpatrick told us that

this morning, didn't he, Ansel?

- No.

- Yeah, I think he did.

Ansel.

Did he?

- No.

- I think he did.

So...

- It's not 50.

- No.

ITS 100.

- Like I say, however much.

- However much.

- Look, what are you getting at?

- What do you mean?

- I made a mistake, all right?

- Yes, you did.

- I said 50 or 100. However much.

- Mmm-hmm.

Y'all gonna do this now'?

You said that you

never cared for Chris.

I haven't. I don't.

And you also said

that Rex is an idiot.

Yeah, right.

And you also said that the cheque

was for 100.

Or however much!

- I was just wondering...

- What are you getting at'?

Oh, f***.

Whose dick is that?

Where'd you get those?

That's not Ansel's dick.

Is that your dick, Ansel?

No.

Yes, it is, darling. You were drunk.

How about that one?

Nope.

That one?

Make sure now,

you might have been drunk.

- No.

- Hmm.

Whose dick is it?

You just stop that.

- That must be your boyfriend.

- Oh, please!

- Your boyfriend Rex.

- Oh, please now.

That idiot.

The one who's getting all that money.

- I didn't know!

- All 100 grand.

Just stop it! I didn't know

anything about this, I swear.

Were you aware of this, Ansel?

- I'm never aware.

- Of course not.

Whose is it?

You son of a b*tch!

There's no need for name-calling.

I haven't called you any names.

I am a guest here. You be polite.

Now.

Whose little dick is that,

and do not lie to me.

You lie to me and it'll be

the last lie you ever tell.

- Rex. It's Rex.

- Rex? Who?

- Rex!

- Correct.

Ansel, please!

Ansel is not too inclined

to assist you at this point in time.

Are you, Ansel?

No, I'm not.

In fact, Ansel's doing just fine

standing over there.

Yes, sir.

That's what I thought.

- Let me go, you motherf***er!

- What did I say about insulting me?

We'll give you the money. I swear it.

We'll give you as much money

as you want!

I'm afraid that's impossible.

No, it's not.

Rex picked up the settlement

this afternoon.

What?

He gave it to me before he left.

God Almighty.

Where did he go?

Worthless, of course.

It's made out to Rex.

Where did he say he was going?

- He was unavailable for comment.

- I don't understand.

Why didn't you get him to...

loan...

loan get him.

Looks like you need a new boyfriend.

I'll be your boyfriend,

just for a little while.

Just stay down.

Stay down.

Look at me.

Suck this.

Go f*** yourself!

If you insult me again,

I will cut your face off

and wear it over my own.

Do you understand?

Ansel!

You made your bed.

That's right.

Now lie in it.

Now suck it!

Please.

Do you want me to wear your face?

Now suck it.

Easy.

Easy.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Here we go.

All right.

He'?

Hey!

What do you think?

I don't!

Now listen carefully, both of you.
