Killer Joe Page #7
for this family.
And I deserve my payment in full.
Because of a misunderstanding
with the insurance,
I won't receive any cash
for my services.
That is unfair.
I don't care to hear excuses
or placement of the blame.
I hold you all equally responsible.
Reach around and grab my ass.
Reach around and grab my ass.
There you go. Grab it! That's it.
I was fortunate,
however, in thinking ahead.
I secured a retainer for my services.
Since I fulfilled my obligation
and since my cash is not forthcoming,
that retainer is now mine.
It belongs to me
and I'm taking it with me
when I leave.
You're very good at this.
Please moan.
Chris doesn't agree
with the concept of the retainer.
He's coming here tonight to attempt
to take it with him.
I can't
allow him to do that.
to do that!
We have to go.
It's suffocating me.
I can't be around them any more.
Do you understand me?
I'll slaughter all of you!
to leave this trailer,
I'll slaughter all of you like pigs!
Do you believe I'd do that?
I am asking for your help.
Will you give it to me?
Ansel?
Yes, sir.
Now, you're a very beautiful woman.
Don't you think so, Ansel?
I hadn't given it much thought.
No! Wrong answer!
She's a very beautiful woman.
And that's sweet.
Don't you think so?
Easy.
Now, hey.
- I want you to tidy up the kitchen.
- Okay.
And you're gonna set the table
for a proper meal.
Okay?
Get that chair.
And we're all gonna sit down.
- Here.
- Okay.
Just the four of us.
Understand? Look at me.
Just the family.
Get that chair.
How you doing, guy'?
- Where'd you get them pictures?
- Oh, that's hardly important.
I guess.
I mean, all she did was suck his cock
and try and steal your money.
It could have been worse.
How?
Well...
No, I suppose
that's about as bad as it gets.
Listen.
Go spend some time with your wife.
Sharia.
Yes?
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine, Ansel.
Are you sure'?
Yes, I'm sure.
Okay.
Shut up, T-Bone!
Hey, son.
- Dottie here?
- She's in the bedroom.
Oh, thank God, I'm starving.
You hear from Joe?
He's in his bedroom.
You eat already?
Hi, Chris.
Junior.
You're home.
Hi, Joe.
I gotta tell you I'm all broke up
things didn't work out.
- Yeah, me, too.
- It's the way the world turns, right?
Huh?
It's the way the cookie crumbles?
Yeah, okay.
Caveat emptor, you know what I mean?
Shall we dine?
Dear.
Smells heavenly. Chris, Ansel,
you hungry for some K-Fry-C?
- Yeah, I'm not really that hungry.
- Well, you should join us, Ansel.
All of us.
Chris, have a seat right here.
There we go. As it should be.
There we are.
Sharia, have a seat.
Thank you.
This is lovely.
Who would like to say grace?
Dottie? Would you do the honours?
Mmm-hmm.
Dear Jesus, thank you for the food.
Thank you that we're all here
together and safe.
We're sorry Momma's dead.
We hope you'll give her a place
to stay in heaven.
Please forgive us
for anything we did wrong.
We would all like a place
to stay in heaven, too.
In the Lord's name, which is
Jesus Christ, we say, "Amen."
Amen.
That was beautiful.
Thank you.
Let's eat.
Sharia, would you grab us some drinks
and get young Chris a plate, please?
- White and dark?
- Yes, please.
Ansel, get that potato salad started,
will you?
And potato salad.
- I love potato salad.
- And potato salad.
Iced tea. Is that homemade, Sharia?
- I only need one scoop of that.
- Yes, it is.
Will you get Dottie some potato salad
on there, please?
How about that you start with that
and we'll get you some more
-if you like.
- That's perfect. Can I start now'?
- Yes, you may. Sharia, white or dark?
- It doesn't matter.
Do you want some potato salad?
Yes, please.
- Sharia, potato salad?
- No, thanks.
- Sharia, your mascara's running.
- F*** you.
Everybody.
I have an announcement to make.
You've all probably noticed that
Dottie and I have been spending
an awful lot of time together.
The fact is, we've fallen in love.
So it's my privilege to tell you that
I've asked her to be my bride.
And she has accepted.
- Haven't you, dear?
- Yes.
- I for one would like to say...
- Shut up.
A toast.
To my future wife.
When's all this
supposed to take place'?
Well, we're leaving
right after this delicious meal.
Is that right?
YES.
You can't have my sister, Joe.
What do you mean, Chris?
I mean, I can't let it happen.
You're not gonna marry my sister.
- I don't think it's up to you.
- Shut up.
- Don't tell me to shut up.
- You say another word, old man,
and I will rip your head
off your shoulders.
Now, Chris,
I can certainly understand
your love for your sister.
But you got to cut the
Okay, I'm not going to discuss it.
She's my sister.
I'm taking her with me.
We're leaving here.
Dottie doesn't have
a say in the matter.
- Oh, I believe she does.
- You believe wrong.
Dottie, go get your stuff.
Dottie, stay seated.
Dottie.
Stay seated. Dottie.
Dottie, sit down.
CHRIS; Dottie.
Dottie, go get your stuff now.
- Dottie
- Dottie.
JOE; Dottie.
That-a-girl.
Dottie!
She's my retainer.
Deal's off.
You're gonna have to eat this one.
- You know I'll kill you.
- Go f*** yourself.
Take your seat, Joe.
- Dottie, go get your stufi!
- Dottie, stay where you are.
- This will be just fine.
- Dottie! Go get your stuff!
Stop it!
Stop it!
- Kill him, Joe!
- Stop it!
Joe!
Yes!
stop it, Joe!
Kill him! Kill him, Joe!
I got him, Joe!
- Stop it, Joe!
- Kill him!
- F***ing kill him!
- God! Oh, God!
- Get him!
- Oh, God!
I'm getting angry!
Dottie.
Jesus! Dottie!
Dottie!
Dottie!
- Easy.
- Don't, Dottie, Dottie!
Put the gun down.
I'm going to have a baby.
A baby?
- A baby?
- Please don't kill me!
A baby?
