Knockaround Guys Page #5
-They're keeping the money.
Look, you two can leave
if you want to.
But l ain't goin' anywhere.
Scarpa. Goddamn,
l've heard that name.
Yeah, well, Bill IKurtis
was talking about him...
on the history
of organised crime on A&E.
-You get A&E with satellite?
-Yeah.
You think that's his kid?
Oh, yeah, l surely do.
You know something else, Don?
That Demaret kid
wasn't Just Jaw-wagging.
His daddy Benny Demaret...
seems like he's Just under
the top guys.
Holy sh*t, Stan. An underboss?
Look, we're not
rousting Juvies here.
They're not Just gonna
let this go, that kind of money.
They're gonna call their uncles
and their fathers...
and they're gonna come here
looking for the money.
The place
is gonna be crawling with 'em.
You're watching too darn much
of that satellite, Donnie.
Nobody's comin'
to this marine's town...
and doing a damn thing.
Just think about it.
They can't Just call...
and say they lost the money.
They'd have done it already.
They do that, they end up
in a barrel of acid...
or whatever else they do
I see what you're saying.
I Just don't figure on them
leaving empty-handed.
See, that's the thing.
We can't let 'em leave.
I'll tell you one thing,
next time l see those fucks...
I'm gonna be packin'.
I keep a piece in my plane.
I'm sorry, Johnny.
That is a big Heartland Lodge
buck right there.
Feature this.
State senate thinks they can
tell me how to run my shop.
So, yeah, there is
a three-day waiting period...
technically.
But that's mostly enforceable...
for your garden variety
Latino stick-up men...
which you boys
don't appear to be.
No, sir. Definitely not.
Listen, l appreciate
Here's a bill
for all your trouble.
They trouble? l thought
they would be trouble.
No. No. No trouble.
Ouestion 'em, mostly.
Just question 'em.
Just wanna
yoggle-doggle with 'em.
You give me a call
if you see 'em.
You sure nobody from out of town
has been here?
No. Oh, out of town.
Yeah, John Heater
come up from Beach.
Had a party goin' huntin'
up Big Timber.
-No strangers?
-No stranger than you.
-I gotta say this one time.
-What's that?
You and Scarpa
take the car and drive.
Leave me here with Marbles.
It's his fault anyway.
Are you serious?
No, there's no way.
It's not even a choice.
Matty, l'm not Just talking
about this little field trip.
I'm talking about all of it.
You had it right
in the first place.
Looking for a regular Job,
being a citizen.
I tried it, man.
It's the only thing left now.
You don't want a piece of this.
Matty, for ninety-nine guys
out of a hundred...
this is lose-lose.
It's not like the way
it was thirty years ago.
It's not like the stories
your uncle was telling us...
when we were growing up.
Now it's either a bullet
in the back of your head...
or Jail for life.
Just snap it back in there.
So you know all this, but l
don't see you trying to get out.
I said you. Come on,
we're talking about you, here.
Sorry l got you into this,
Taylor.
It's Just more
of the same for me.
Just more of the same.
You fellas are on a real
busman's holiday, aren't ya?
Hey, look at you.
You roll into town with
more guys than Sinatra, right?
Teddy, l Just want you to know
how truly sorry l am.
I know l f***ed this up
right from the get...
but l'm gonna do everything
l can to make it right.
Marbles, that voice
You are unlikable.
If it wasn't for Matty...
I'd love to kill you right now.
As it is, l'd like to kick you
through the uprights...
Iike a f***in' field goal.
So, where are we at?
We've had a wrinkle.
-Cops are involved.
-Dirty f***in' cops.
Yeah, he said cops.
They give you that makeover?
They do nice work.
-You want to talk inside?
-No. We're not gonna talk here.
We'll go over the state line
into North Dakota.
If anybody's lookin', we don't
want 'em to find us yet.
Sheriff Decker's a lifer.
Came from the military,
highly decorated.
Been in office eighteen years.
The man controls the town.
Good. A man
used to running things...
gonna think he can run us, too.
Marbles, pay the check.
Matty, you ride with me.
I gotta ask you something.
None of my guys
would even be here...
if they weren't trying
to help me out.
They shouldn't suffer for that,
you know?
If we get that money back...
nothin' happens to Marbles,
all right?
Used to be there was a way
to do things...
and things got done.
No room for whining,
no room for mistakes.
Now, everybody's feelings
are involved.
A guy steps wrong now, he ends
up on the witness stand...
or on the f***in'
Barbara Walters.
But l'll tell you what, Matty.
Since you're askin'...
I'll give you a one-time-only.
Nothing will happen
to your friend. OIK?
Thanks.
You know, this whole thing's
my fault, anyway.
I figured
l wasn't a kid anymore.
-I figured l was ready for this.
-Age got nothin' to do with it.
You take Taylor,
you put him in that basement...
it don't matter if he's
He's gonna pull that trigger,
and you're not...
'cause you're not made that way.
And that's good, OIK?
Don't get down on yourself...
and the sheriff
will surface soon.
We'll sort the thing out.
You might want to notch it
back there a notch.
We got work tonight.
I don't know, man.
I'm not feelin' ready.
We ran a check. We know
who you are, Mr. Demaret.
We're willing to deal.
Don't want guys like you
unhappy.
Good.
So let's get this done, then.
I'll come down.
No, l don't want you
walking into my station again.
We meet tonight.
I'm off duty at twelve.
Brickman's Meats.
It's past the tracks.
-So why not now?
-I'll say when.
Bring your friends
if you're worried.
I'll tell you what.
I don't like the sound of this.
If you want to see
your money again...
that's where it's gonna be.
You're not talkin' about
leavin' are ya?
I am.
I think you should
come with me, cuz.
Matty needs us.
Matty's got
all the backup he needs.
Bus rolls by the interstate
and goes to Billings at 1 1 : 1 5.
I booked us a room
at the Sheraton...
back in New York
by tomorrow morning.
My father works things out
with Benny Chains...
six months from now,
nobody's gonna remember a thing.
No chance. No f***in' way.
You're my first cousin...
and l have
a responsibility to you.
This whole thing is my fault.
It's my doing and l'm sticking.
If you gotta go, you go.
All right, let's go in and see
how we set this thing up.
That makes it twenty.
-How about a check?
-I go to cash it...
you cancel it the minute
l walk out of town? Nah.
-Borrow it from your friend.
-Hey...
Mr. New York mile-a-minute,
why don't you shut your mouth?
You're makin' my ears hurt.
That'll be enough of that,
fellas.
-Go on and have a drink.
-Ain't none of your business.
You don't want me
to make it my business, huh?
Believe me.
Come on.
Can you imagine
these hillbilly bastards...
