Pecro wants his

f***ing money.

You know how Pecro can get.

- Get the two grand.

- Get the money, f***er.

I got your money, boys.

I just need to retrieve it.

Good. We're gonna see you again

sooner or later.

Sooner than later.

Hey, Watt, who was that?

Two a**hole Bible salesmen.

What'd they want?

To save my soul.

Hey...

Come over here and hold me.

Uh-huh.

Do you love me, Watt?

More than anything.

More than your car likes oil?

More than my car likes oil.

More than a preacher likes God?

More than Jimmy Swaggart

loves to sweat.

Well, I think you'd

better kiss me then, huh?

Is that who I think it is?

Yeah.

You promised me you weren't

gonna have

anything to do with him, Watt.

Man, you promised me.

I gotta make car payments,

don't I?

I told you I didn't want

anymore of your

Goddamn prison buddies

over at the house.

Especially not him.

Why can't y'all meet at

a pool hall or something?

I told him to call me

if he had any leads.

Why can't he use

the damn phone?

'Cause he thinks all the lines

are bugged.

Look, I don't like him, okay?

He's an drug addict

and an a**hole.

And he's a male chauvinist pig.

- Watty.

- Keep your voice down.

Star, listen.

All I want is a little

financial solvency.

I told Billy to come by

if he had anything cooking.

There's just some things

that you just don't understand.

Hey, you understand this,

all right.

You're not gonna let

that a**hole in this house.

Watty!

- I'm serious.

Watt!

- F***!

- It's about time, Hoss.

- How you doin' there Watty?

- All right, Billy.

- Oh, Goddamn.

- See you in a minute.

Starlene. How are ya?

Mmm.

You know, your lookin'

awful pretty today.

Hurts me.

But you know, you always

looked real good to me.

- You know that, don't you?

- You look the same, Billy...

but I can't say that

I like it that much.

Mmm.

Hey, Star...

- Let me ask you question.

- I probably couldn't stop you.

How come you don't like me

so much, huh?

'Cause you're scum.

Pure and simple.

Watty might not see it,

but I do.

You're a piece of white trash.

And I don't trust ya

for as far as I can toss ya.

Damn it, I know you wanta

have sex with me.

Yeah, have sex with that.

Ohh! Goddamn!

Ain't you sassy.

- Hey.

- Hey, Watty, what's up?

What's goin' on, Billy?

Nothin'. You know, she's joking

around like she always does.

Hey, man. I'm having me

a good f***in' day today.

You interested in makin'

the best score of the year?

Tell me about it in the car.

Oh, okay.

Hey I'm gonna see you later, honey.

I'm uh, I'm gonna be goin', okay?

Hey...

Just don't do anything stupid,

all right?

Take a look at that.

- That ain't for me, is it?

- No, it's not for you, stupid.

It's a weddin' ring.

What'd you...

Watty, did you take

a stupid pill?

What do you mean by that, man?

- Just what I said.

- What are you saying?

- What the f*** are you...

- Hey, f*** you, man!

I have no time for your

bullshit.

I've got a problematical

situation going on.

I borrowed two-thousand dollars

from Father Pecro

to buy that wedding ring.

See, you're a stupid a**hole.

Well, I couldn't help it, man,

it was on sale.

How much of the money

do you have?

Four-hundred and fifty bucks.

You're b*tch whipped, man.

You're f***in' b*tch whipped.

I if don't get that money to Pecro,

I'll be wiping me up

in the same hand, you know?

Well, it looks like you're in

world of sh*t partner.

But, today just happens to be

your lucky day.

Yeah, what's the score,

Billy boy?

I found us a choice f***in'

spot, man.

Over in Creedmore

by the box factory.

You mean that bait shop that's

got the Orange Knee-Hi sign?

I'm not talkin' about that

f***in' place.

I'm talkin' about a place

about a hundred yards over.

You mean that place that's got

them real good hot links?

It's got a big red billboard.

What about that place?

It's penny-ante bullshit.

Just hold on to your horses,

Watty, okay?

Have you no faith in me?

I've been gettin' real sweet on

the girl who works the day shift.

She told me...

that the owner's gettin'

himself a brand new bass boat.

Oh, well, that's bad ass, Billy.

I'm real happy for him.

There's some damn

good fishing around here...

But what the f*** do I need

with a bass boat?

He's buying the boat

with cash, Watty.

He's got it locked up in

the safe,

because he thinks his wife's

gonna take it,

and go out on a shopping spree.

You know how them b*tches get.

He's all paranoid.

The money's right there

in the safe.

How much money you figure

he's got in there?

What I'm figuring is

ten-thousand dollars, man.

Ten grand?

Where in the hell did you get these?

I got 'em at the discount store, man.

They were in the bargain bin.

Oh, God, Billy.

Just give me my gun.

Okay, Billy, Let's check to make

sure these babies ain't loaded.

- Check.

- Check.

Hey, man, you sure you don't

want any of this?

I don't think it's such

a good idea

for you to be doin' that sh*t

before a job.

Cleans out my brain.

Turns your brain into

chewing gum.

- I'm cool.

- You better be cool.

- Are you ready?

- Born on a green light, Daddyo.

Let's go.

Okay, honey, just remain real calm.

I'm here to rob this place

and I aim to do it right.

Give me all your money.

Look at the funny man.

Y'all say this is a robbery?

Y'all say there's some money?

There ain't no money.

So, why don't you two jokers

get lost?

Oh man, she's high as a kite.

What the hell's goin' on, huh?

Okay, lady...

now you just tell me

where the money is...

and we'll get it ourselves, okay?

Hey...

you're kinda cute.

Wanta get high with me?

You do not wanta f***

with me lady.

Tell me where that money is.

The money for the bass boat.

- Where the hell is it!?

- I told you...

I put all the money

in my main line.

Quit f***ing around with us,

you stupid b*tch.

I know there's some f***ing

money in here

for some Goddamn bass boat.

Get it out of the f***ing safe now!

Billy Mack?

Is that you, hon?

Honey!

Oh, man!

That is f***ing great.

That's f***ing beautiful, man.

She seen your face.

Billy, you stupid a**hole.

Watty...

you hear them f***in' sirens?

What the f*** did you do?

F***in' trip the f***in' alarm?

You stupid f***ed up b*tch.

F*** me again

like you did last night.

You called the cops you

f***in', f***ed up b*tch!

Billy, what the hell you doin'?

She seen my f***in' face, Watt.

What the f***.

The cops are on their f***in' way.

You seen my f***in' face, b*tch.

She seen my f***in' face, Watty.

She seen my f***in' face.

Calm down, Billy.

Just calm the f*** down!

You done f***ed up now.

You seen my f***in' face.

You f***ed up.

I think I shot her.

Oh, Christ, Billy.

What have you done?

Oh sh*t!

I think I shot her.

Do you hear that sound?

It's the f***in' cops...

and you just blew your girl

friend's brains all over the place.

- She was my face, man.

- Shut up!

Now I'm not leaving here

without the money...

so you gotta go get it now!
