Moonlight Mile Page #4

---

What?!

Don't look at me.

You're the one who promised

her some of Diana's things.

A mere moment of weakness.

I can't believe she's

coming over to collect.

And she's bringing friends.

Unbelievable.

Has she tried

to jump you yet?

-- Josephine!

-- What?

You yourself said that

you never trusted the girl.

The only reason that

we tolerate the little tart

is because somehow

Diana took pity on her.

Girl could do a lot of things.

She couldn't pick her friends.

Oh, come on.

CheryI's not that bad.

Okay, yeah,

she's a bit overdramatic,

a-a bit

socially overwhelming.

But you can't blame her

under the circumstances.

Oh, yes, you can.

Yes, you can.

She is a b*tch, isn't she?

Yes!

Ladies and gentlemen,

Benjamin Floss.

The vultures have landed.

Oh, God.

Just makes you want to cry,

looking at all of these.

Every one just.

reminds me of.

God, I wouldn't know

which to take.

You'll manage.

Her jacket, I guess.

God, she wore this all the time.

We were together

when she bought it.

No, no, I was there.

You're thinking of the canvas.

lt was definitely the leather.

I remember exactly, Audrey.

Ohh! No. Not the watches.

Leave the watches.

Do I know you?

I'm Caroline.

Caroline who?

Davis.

You knew Diana?

We were on Bluejays

together.

Look, Cheryl,

this is very nice of you.

I just -- I don't want

to leave those guys --

Look, if you're not comfortable,

we'll go. We'll leave.

I just think you need

a chance to get out of there.

That whole house is, like,

under this black pale.

Can we just

keep this short?

# Fire #

# Uh-uh #

# Fire #

Hey, guys.

Cheryl.

Hey.

Guys.this is Joe.

-- Hey.

-- Hey.

Joe's been keeping me together

through this whole thing.

You guys

are so amazing.

Oh, yeah.

I don't know what I would have

done without him.

Would you excuse me?

# The way you squeeze... #

# Knocks me to my knees #

# 'Cause I'm smokin',

baby, baby #

# Oh hoo hoo hoo #

Aww!

Jesus! A girl can't even pee

without you guys --

# When the wind blows #

# And the rain feels cold #

# With a head full of snow #

# With a head full of snow #

# ln the window #

# There's a face you know #

# Don't the night pass slow? #

What did I do?

# Don't the night pass slow? #

You played my song.

# The sound of strangers

sending nothing to my mind #

# Just another mad, mad day

on the road #

# I am just living

to be lying by your side #

# But I'm just about

a moonlight mile #

# On down the road # #

# I've got 99 years

of laying in the dark #

# And I'm far too young

to lie #

# I've got 99 ways

to play my guitar #

# lt's gonna pay me

before I die #

Ohh! Ohh! I'm sorry.

-- No. lt's okay.

-- I should have knocked.

On the closet?

-- Oh, sh*t.

-- lt's okay.

You're safe.

They won't find you in here.

What was that?

Old habits.

I'm a source of entertainment,

in case you hadn't noticed.

You, uh.

Work here.

-- Yeah.

-- Yeah.

Not in the closet.

-- No.

-- No.

Help out.

Your place?

Uh.a friend's.

You work here every night?

Must be a good friend.

So, did you come back

for that drink?

No, the dancing,

actually.

Hey, hey.

Well, you had your shot.

Well, closets tend to work

better for one, so I'll --

No. Wait.

Please, I-I just --

I can't --

I don't think

I can go back out there.

lt's okay.

You don't have to.

I just -- I --

I-I can't.

I know.

That's all right.

Everything you're feeling,

I'm feeling, too.

lf I told you

something, um --

Bertie, we're dying out here.

Sh*t. I gotta go.

Snot check?

You can come back tomorrow

if you want.

Listen, Cheryl, I --

Can you believe it?

Now she says

the witness was drunk.

Uh, who said?

The D.A.

I just talked to her.

She says he's no good.

Bullshit.

lt's bullshit

is what it is.

Half the people

in that joint

are pissed out of their hats

by noon.

Why should this guy

be any different?

Family restaurant --

unbelievable.

Okay, we've wasted

enough time there.

They can screw the trial up,

but they can't touch this.

This one's ours.

Now, if we buy out

this whole block for Mulcahey,

we got to find a weak spot.

We find the guy who's hurting

but fighting to hang on.

You can bet your mother

he's the one that's gonna be

tying up the rest

of the merchants emotionally,

killing any straight shot you

got at landing the whole block.

You got to break the spine.

You find him, you break it.

Sit for a second.

Ben, are you okay?

Now, I checked the tax rolls.

I know their debt history.

They got to be choking

on the mortgage by now.

Who?

The bar?

That's not a bar.

That's the ballgame.

We get him,

we got the whole block.

Ready?

Hey, Ben.

you know what?

Let me take this one.

What?

I'll handle it.

Let me handle it.

Yo--

Joe.

-- I'm serious.

-- You're gonna do this?

I'm gonna try.

Let me try.

Well, hell, what am I.

supposed to do?

Just go on back.

I'll.find you

back at the office.

You're serious?

You're sure about this?

Go on.

I'll meet you back there.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Boy, it's a.

lot quieter by day, huh?

Tends to work that way.

A nice space.

How long you had it?

Not mine.

Something to drink?

You're not.?

Something to drink?

Water's fine.

Bubbles?

Bubbles.

So, who's Cal?

Name on the door.

He's not around?

No, he is not.

ls he a friend of yours

or.

As a matter of fact.

He's in Vietnam?

Something

I can help you with?

Just curious.

Must have poured a lot

of himself into this place.

Pretty handy guy?

Mm-hmm.

lt's a pretty

interesting selection

you got on the box here.

Nothing new, huh?

lf it ain't broke.

Nothing that old either.

Everything's what --

two, three years ago?

You didn't seem to mind

last night.

You got a dime?

Gimme a number.

F-8.

# You went away and left me

a long time ago #

# Now you're knocking

on my door #

# I hear you knocking #

# But you can't come in #

# I hear you knocking #

Afternoon.

Afternoon.

# I begged you not to go,

but you said goodbye #

Can I help you?

Hi, there.

Maybe you can.

I was wondering if you were here

when my daughter was killed.

I was trying to.

figure out what.

stool she was actually --

Let's see.

lf she was, uh --

Ben.

Hey, Joe.

Uh.was it here?

Was it this one?

Tell me.

I think it was number 6.

Ben, what are you doing?

And if he came from, uh --

Now, I know there was

a-a-a guy, a witness.

Must have been in the back.

Maybe you remember.

He was, uh, obviously being

served alcohol in some quantity

because, evidently, he can't

remember sitting down.

Pardon me.

Let's go.

I see your window

still needs repair.

That's unfortunate.

Maybe, uh.

tell the manager

to have it fixed.

My wife used to have

a lot more enthusiasm about

blank than she does now.

Fill in the blank, please.

Ben, wind.

Where are you right now?

You got someplace to be?

No. I'm -- I'm just --

lt's only 8:
00.

Just wiped out, I guess.

'Cause you don't have to

babysit us, you know.

You can go out.
