Once Fallen Page #2

---

You have to take

the kid with you.

No, no. I've been

waiting too long for this.

You know, you're such

a selfish b*tch.

You haven't changed, either.

Why don't you give me some time to catch up--

Time? You had

five years.

You think you

got it rough?

I've been trying to stay

alive for the last five years.

Don't talk to me

about time!

Your stuff's

over there. Okay?

Here are your letters.

I never read them.

Take care of him, okay?

Mommy loves you, okay?

You be a good boy. You're

gonna stay with daddy for a while.

Be a good boy.

Okay. Kat, Kat,

let's just talk about this.

Don't touch me.

Let's just talk--

Let's just talk about this.

I-I can't raise

that thing on my own.

I did. Maybe you'll

grow up this time, huh?

Grow up? Kat, why don't

you--Look who's f***ing walking out now, huh?

F***! F***ing

kidding me.

You know, your mom is

a real f***ing b*tch, you know that?

Un-f***ing-believable.

What?

Son of a b*tch.

F***ing b*tch.

Just play. Bring it

to--Shut up.

Play 2-5-1.

Play it 3-1-7.

Take it. 2-5-1 in G-flat, man. Stop trying

to reinvent the wheel, man.

You can't play

it, lay out.

One, two,

A one--

A'right, take five.

And another thing, Rico, when I say dress rehearsal,

it means dress rehearsal.

If you wanna wear denims, go get a gig at a rodeo,

brother. What's that shirt?

I don't give a f*** if you like it or not.

Go get a gig with Don Ho.

Look at this.

look at this.

Look at you, man.

Give me some love.

Five years ain't done you no harm at all, man.

If you were a chick, well.

Show your dad how

to hug, Chico. Come on.

Give an aging

hipster a big kiss.

Willow! Listen,

I gotta talk to your daddy.

I'm gonna put you in the hands

of a very beautiful girl. You gotta be nice. Willow!

Come and take care

of Chance's face.

And another thing. That motherf***er comes in here

with blue jeans, I'm gonna--

I don't give a sh*t if he blows Beethoven's

Ninth out of his butt.

You fire him.

Do you hear me?

OK, I got it.

Let's go, Chance.

We'll be back, Chico.

Stay here.

So, Chance, your boy Beat's been blowing

some very lame changes.

He tell you about

his situation with me?

No, what situation?

I'm holding his

marker for 50 K.

Jesus, Eddie. That you're gonna

look after him, that'll put him in debt the rest of his life.

What do you want me to do?

Sleep under his bed, hold his hands,

serve him cookies

and cream? The boy's an adult, Chance.

Besides, bad jazz

that Kat blows is a solo, baby.

I can't help if anybody

lies now with dogs.

This is a little somethin' the girls put together for

August. Take it. About $ 1,000.

Take it, take it. Everybody knows your

old lady split on you.

Down to business.

The word is that you

got pretty tough in the joint.

Anyway, that's

the buzz cuz.

So, this is a new

cat, Axel. Real thug.

And everybody digs. I wanna put you together

with Axel, bare knuckles.

Odds will be sky high,

high as the moon, baby.

High as a Chinaman

in Beijing.

Now, you do this, we get the things

straight with Beat

and put a little gin

in our pockets. What do you say?

You're f***ing kill me, Eddie. You're

really f***ing kill me.

How am I supposed to get ahead when I got 50 grand

stacked against me from you?

'Cause I got

a plan, man.

Before we talk about

your little plan,

you wanna talk about

how you f***ed my girl while I was gone?

I'll come over there

and kick your nasty old ass.

Stop the bullshit.

I f***ing know it.

I own this club.

She worked here.

I f***ed everybody

worked here. Once.

It's like punching

a time card, baby.

Besides, you ain't

gonna put a hurt on my ass.

Because, A:

you love me.

And B :
you need me

like you always need me.

You got a place

I can crash?

Absolutely. You can

stay at Kat's crib.

I own the building.

It's the least I can do.

What's the catch?

Catch? There Ain't no

catch. Just think about this fight, baby.

I'll think about it.

You know what, Eddie? I would like to do

something with my life

other then fight

and deal drugs.

Why?

Mommy, mommy, mommy!

Mommy, mommy!

What?

What? F*** kid, what?

May I have

some water?

Yeah. A glass

of water.

Here.

Thank you, Daddy.

Can you go

back to sleep now?

Yes.

Mommy isn't coming

back, is she?

No.

But, hey, it is time

for you to go to sleep.

So, lie back down there

and I'm gonna tell you a story, okay?

Just try to close

your eyes.

[knocking on door]

Hi.

Hi.

I just heard you guys

moving in and I just wanted to say hello.

I'm, uh, Chance.

I'm Pearl.

Pearl !

Hi, hot shot.

How you doing?

So you know

the kid, huh?

Oh, yeah. Um,

I would watch him at Eddie's

when Kat wasn't around, which was

most of the time.

Right, right.

You want a soda?

Yeah, sure!

Hey, why don't you run

and give Pearl a soda?

Please. Thank you.

Take a seat.

Okay.

So, how long have

you been here?

Um, a year.

Cheap rent.

Yeah, yeah. It's just

temporary for me

till I figure out

what I'm gonna do next.

Funny. That's what I said.

Didn't mean it

to sound like that.

It's okay.

Thanks!

So, you must be one

of Eddie's girls, right?

No, I am not one

of Eddie's girls.

You?

One of Eddie's

girls? No.

No, I meant, are

you friends with him?

Not exactly. You?

Not exactly.

I should go.

I'll see you

guys around.

Feel free to go.

You don't have to rush off.

I-I should.

Thanks for the soda.

Yeah.

God bless you !

Okay, bye. Thanks.

Wow.

Hey, what's up?

Hey, Sonny.

M ind if I come in?

Yeah, come on in.

How are you

doin', brother?

All right. You

got some business?

Just a couple

of things.

Contract got played,

so that's one less name in the hat.

And, uh, your

boy, he's gone.

Yeah, that was old business. Not my call.

What else do you got?

Listen, man, I've been

giving this a lot of thought, all right?

Your son.

If we give him

control over San Pedro,

and with his network,

all the problem

I foresee is,

we can keep in the product store to keep up with the

demand. What do you think?

No.

You know, I would think

that you would want your son to have a post

as opposed to being

in an early grave.

No one goes

near my son.

End of story.

Listen. You know,

when I go through out there,

taking out my ass

here for you,

it's like covering

for your ass, okay?

You're making us all

look f***ing bad.

Making who

look bad?

Hm?

We got a problem

here, Sonny?

No, I ain't got no

problem. You're the boss.

I ain't got no

problem.

[tires screech]

[chuckles]

It's been so long

I don't even know how to say hey.

Hey, I got some lunch

for us. Let's go grab something to eat.

I'm late for

an appointment.

[honks horn]

That appointment

you got with Ted,

that's been canceled.

See, I had Ted

take you off the computer,

so now you don't have

to check in with Ted.

You have to

check in with me.

Consider this your

first check-in.

[honks horn]

Get in the f***ing car.

Man, you look good.

That port over there,

that's where I get a lot of my stuff
