I think he does

have Rosacea.

JAY'S FATHER:

Really? No sh*t, huh.

JAY:

Giants winning?

JAY'S FATHER

They're up by six.

JAY:

You know what I miss?

JAY'S FATHER:

What's that?

JAY:

Just sitting here watching a

game. I got too much noise

in my head now.

JAY'S FATHER:

What's wrong?

JAY:

April won't talk to me,

Marty's strung out on dope,

and everybody expects me to

find a way to keep this

business going. I don't

know what to do.

JAY'S FATHER:

Well you know how I feel about

that business. And Marty,

unfortunately you can't

help until he's ready.

And you should know that Jay.

And if you do the right thing,

that girl will come around.

You've been through a lot Jay,

You beat drugs.

You did 3 years in prison. You

survived that damned robbery.

I think you'll make it through

this just fine.

JAY:

How do you do it Dad?

JAY'S FATHER Do what?

JAY:

Keep going when it seems like

it's just too much...

JAY'S FATHER:

Even when it seems too tough to

believe, I just keep telling

myself that in the end it'll all

be okay. And if it's not okay,

it ain't the end.

Why don't you stick around

finish watching the game huh?

I got plenty of salad. Wanna

grab a bowl from the kitchen?

JAY:

You and your damn salad.

JAY'S FATHER:

Hey don't knock my salad.

Come on, go grab a bowl.

There ya go.

JAY:

Thanks.

JAY'S FATHER:

That'll keep you regular.

JAY:

Ha. You didn't spit in it

or nothing?

JAY'S FATHER:

No. Ha ha ha.

JAY:

This tastes like crap.

JAY'S FATHER:

Just eat it.

Oh come on! Hold the ball!

F***ing Giants.

MOTEL CLERK:

Thank you for calling

The Days and Nights Inn.

This is Danielle, how

may I help you?

JAY:

Room 141.

DETECTIVE MILLINGS:

Hello?

JAY:

Who is this?

DETECTIVE MILLINGS:

Who's this?

JAY:

I asked you first.

DETECTIVE MILLINGS:

This is Detective Millings

of the Palm Beach

County Sheriff's Office,

who is this?

JAY:

Detective this is Jay Trotta.

DETECTIVE MILLINGS:

Mr Trotta what are you

doing calling this room?

JAY:

My friend Marty Perez is staying

there, where is he?

DETECTIVE MILLINGS:

There was an incident here

tonight involving your friend.

JAY:

What kind of incident detective,

is he ok?

DETECTIVE MILLINGS

There was a shooting...

JAY:

Detective, is he ok?

DETECTIVE MILLINGS:

Mr. Trotta...

JAY:

Let me in! Let me in!

DETECTIVE MILLINGS:

Jay, I'm sorry for your loss.

But listen to me.

JAY This can't be happening.

DETECTIVE MILLINGS:

Let me tell you, we had a

witness today,

saw the suspect flee.

We set up a perimeter

and we got him four blocks away.

He tried ditching the weapon

and we got that too. The weapon

was Raymond's, taken in

the robbery the other night.

JAY:

This can not

be happening...

DETECTIVE MILLINGS:

Listen to me. This

afternoon about 2:00

we had an anonymous phone call.

The person gave a full

description of the people in

your robbery. He gave us the

the license plate to that

Cadillac you saw the other night

at the gas station. The license

plate came back to an address

in Riviera beach. We believe

it was Marty that gave

the phone call.

Jay listen to me, go home.

Get some rest. We're

gonna get these guys.

I promise.

Melancholy music plays over

epilogue montage.

YOUNG JAY:

C'mon bro, we're

doing this together...

JAY:

This one's for you,

You son of b*tch...

APRIL:

Don't you dare, Jay!
