Killshot Page #2

You have something to wear, a suit,

or something? You wanna look the part.

See, that's why I need a

f***ing partner, man. I mean it...

now, I've no patience

for details, like that.

- You ever worked with anyone before?

- My brothers.

One is in prison for ever.

And my kid brother is dead.

You remind me of him.

He was a stupid guy.

So, huh...

Black... Blackbird,

how's 10,000 sound?

Bird.

Bird?

That's what my kid brother

used to call me.

Alright, Bird, we got a deal?

I told you wouldn't know which one

I'm gonna be when I came in.

Remember it?

What?

On the phone?

I think you wanna talk to somebody

downstairs that'll help you out.

You see that?

He's playing dumb?

Well, he's f***ing with you.

You're gonna try to tell me

I never spoke to you?

Huh?

No, I think he said

he don't believe...

what you told him

on the telephone.

Show him you mean it.

Am I making my point?

Give me the cash,

or you're a dead

f***ing real estate man.

Okay, you win.

It's downstairs, in the car.

Welcome to Nelson

Davies Reality.

You own this business and

you still drive a pickup?

I like to think

success hasn't changed me.

Wayne.

- Who the f*** is Wayne?

- Beats me.

Hey, let's go.

- Wayne

- What's going on here?

Hey, forget it,

let's get out of here.

No, he ain't...

Lock the door!

Call the cops!

F***!

For a job.

Wait a minute, I said that

Nelson knew I was coming by.

It was hardly an appointment.

His wife's an employee, no need

to talk about Wayne dropping by.

Hence the suit.

- But you're an iron worker?

- Hence the boots.

I'm looking at other things, OK?

It's just an odd time

to appear, that's all.

- Lunch? There's nobody here.

- I was here.

Because I could be

making some claims.

- Like the window... damages.

- You didn't know these guys?

No, sir.

Because nobody witnessed

you arriving separately.

Wait just a minute,

they shot at my husband.

- He probably saved my life.

- Mr. Colson.

you knew nothing about

these blackmail calls?

- Hey, I don't know about any calls.

- What blackmail calls?

There were some calls last week.

Huh, creeps, I told the police.

But not us? Those creeps

had guns, Nelson.

- Please.

- Wayne.

A**hole.

I'm bleeding something fierce here, man.

Let's go to Marine City, I wanna see Donna.

- Who the f*** is Donna?

- She's this woman I'm staying with.

Now, she's cool, man,

I told her about you.

It's on the way to "Port Hell".

My brothers and I come up here

one time to kill a guy.

No sh*t.

- What'd he do?

- I didn't ask 'em.

That, doesn't make sense to me.

I gotta... be pissed

at a guy when I kill him.

Why didn't you just shoot him?

He was standing right there

in the f***ing window!

You wanna learn something?

The only time you ever

take out your gun...

- is when you gonna kill somebody.

- Yeah, well you could've right there.

It's the same as a hunter.

The guy who knows what he's doing,

he don't take the shot...

if he thinks he can miss.

If he does, he's gotta find

the animal and finish it.

Two apart.

Are you saying there were

woman there? What...

What the woman do?

She saw my face.

You don't ever

leave things undone,

even if you think somebody's

not going to remember you.

Some people were asking

after you this morning.

What people?

They said they were friends

of yours, from Toronto.

What you tell 'em?

I told them

I hadn't seen you in years.

You see my friend's face, Lionel?

Fell of a ladder.

Got cut up,

couldn't go to work.

I said, hey...

let's go duck hunting.

You free to take us?

Weather's supposed to turn.

Why don't we go anyway.

- Richie's never seen a marsh before.

- I've seen a marsh

Come on, Lionel.

This won't take long.

You okay?

Guess so.

That Indian guy freaked me out.

Walk you in?

- So, what things are you looking at.

- Huh?

Back there with the police you said

you were looking at other things?

Yeah...

I'm looking at anything. You said

I'm a dinosaur, either change or die.

- I never said that.

- Then I'm saying it.

So, today is the day you decide to

come in about a job in real estate.

- Well, I could sell a house.

- Absolutely.

Anyway... thank god

you showed up in that suit.

Yeah...

Dangerous suit.

- Got married in it, got shot at in it.

- And you look great in it.

- Anyway, thanks.

- Anytime.

Wayne.

It's a deer. Get some rest.

If you need anything,

just call the Hillcrest Motel.

- I don't see any birds.

- You wanna hunt ducks?

You watch the sky.

- It looks different. All this water.

- Maybe you never came down this far,

you and your brothers.

There're no cats and dogs

around here to shoot.

Last time I saw you,

you were...

you were hunting with some...

guy in a tan working jacket.

Seemed like a nice guy.

What was his name?

- Karl.

- Wayne.

If you can't remember the rest,

we'll go back and ask your...

wife and daughter.

- Wayne Colson.

- Where does he live?

Alkeneck.

Is he married?

- Kids?

- They couldn't.

Hey, there's something.

Looks like you're gonna

have trouble with this one.

He might shoot

the wrong bird.

What's that supposed to mean?

Ducks don't land in trees.

Why don't we go over there?

Stretch our legs.

You want to go first?

You know you really piss me off!

Tell me ducks

don't land in trees.

I know ducks

don't land in trees.

Bird, you coming?

Excuse me.

This is my house.

Oh, yeah...

- It's a dump.

- You certainly have your nerve.

Donna.

Donna...

this is Bird. He'll be staying

with us for a few days.

- What happened to your face?

- I got in a fight. We got any beers?

Well, why don't you fix us

something to eat...

and I'll go get some.

Richie...

don't call me Bird no more.

What'd you want me to call ya?

My name... Armand.

Ar~mand... Armand?

Are you serious?

Listen...

When she's making all this

f***ing noise in there,

it means, she's pissed off.

Why don't you go in there...

and give her a pat on the ass.

You want the Weight Watchers

chicken patty or the regular?

Two Weight Watchers please.

Ritchie said you used to be

a hack in a joint.

That how you met?

I was in catering services.

He said you got... fired

for screwing the inmates.

You drive that school bus

out there?

If you could be

any kind of bird there is,

what kind of bird would you be?

What're you doing here?

- Just need a place to stay.

- For how long?

Couple of days. Got some

business to take care of.

You want some bacon

with your chicken patties?

- Thanks.

- Sure...

oh... my pleasure.

I was busy, but, huh...

I jacked myself away from

staring at the ceiling.

Anyway, it turned out to be

nothing... I'm so jumpy, sorry.

- It's okay.

- I'm sorry.

No, no, go to bed, I'll grab a beer

at least till you're asleep.

But there's really no need.

Oh...

now you're not scared,

I can't have a beer...

Wayne you shouldn't really

even have keys to the house.

I'm confused, because for a second

there... I thought you called me.
