Once in the Life Page #2
another 10 minutes. I'm sorry. Yeah, sorry.
It does nothing for me. "You're sorry."
You know what? Get out. What? We just want
some pizza, man. Oh, get a f***ing
haircut. Two of you
are knuckleheads. Aah! What the f***! F***, man! Torch: Say it
to my f***ing face. Who's stupid now,
motherf***er? Wait a minute.
We got to go. We got to go.
The cops are coming. What are you
talking about? What cops? The ones
behind me, yo. Holy sh*t. Officers: Hold it!
Hold it! Police! Stop right there!
Police officer! Stop! Get the f***
out of the way! Torch: Wait up, man.
Wait up. How did you know
those cops were coming? I got eyes in the back
of my head. 20/20 Mike. That's me. What's the matter
with you? What? Are you
f***ing crazy? You're trying to
get us busted again? We just got out,
man. Yeah, well,
I may be crazy, but I ain't stupid. What do you mean
"we" just got out? We ain't together. Come on. Don't be
like that, bro. Don't f***ing
call me that. Just because
my old man was f***ing
your mother don't make us
brothers. Oh, wait a minute. Why you got to talk
about my mother, huh? Why you got to talk
about my mom? Ha ha ha! F***ing a**hole. You f***ing put
your hands up to me again, I'll throw you
a f***ing beating you'll never forget. I'm sorry, all right? Look. You're
pretty good with the smitties,
some money together. Doing what? This and that.
you know. I don't know. What? Like you got something better
to do, Mr. Williams? Cut me a break with
that Mr. Williams sh*t. Ok. Whatever the
f*** your name is. Billy. Billy? Yeah. Billy. You want to make
some money or not? Ok. What you want
from me, Max? You know what I want? I want you to do what
you f***ing promised. It's not that
f***ing complicated. You say you're going
to do something, you do it. It's not my fault. Whose fault is it?
Mine? No. And I bet you
won't tell her you won't take her
trick-or-treating. Maxine! Maxine what? I knew this sh*t
was going to happen. It's the same
f***ing sh*t that happened
last year. Look. I got business
to take care of. You're going to have to
take her this year. You know what? She doesn't
want me to take her. She wants her father
to take her. All right?
She's a little girl. Halloween
is important to her. I know that. Think I don't
know that? Why don't you
f***ing act like it? She's not going to
be little forever. Where you going? Where you going? Going to pick her up
from school. This is bullshit! Now just stop it,
all right? Max...You know
the game. I'll be back. I'll be back
as soon as I can. Just do what
you got to do. Come here.
Don't be scared. It'll be ok. You go get precious. Tell her
daddy's sorry. Will you do that
for me? Yeah. I'll do that
for you. I'll tell her
you're sorry. Maxine:
I don't know why I'm with your
sorry ass anyway. Tony, voice-over:
Wayward daughters for dollars and quarters would sell
their youthful selves, and in the morning
they awoke to find their hearts
near broke, crying themselves
with a tiger's growl in search of their
much needed blow, and winos cringe
on their canned heat bins to find their graves
in the snow. Where belles of vice
sell love for a price and even the law
gets corrupt, man, you keep on trying. But nevertheless crime,
like gin--what a bitter cup. The jungle creed says, "the strongest feed
off of any prey at hand," and I was branded "beast"
became a man. [Bell rings] They're here. You sure? Yeah, I'm sure.
Positive? Absolutely.
Absolutely positive. Go upstairs.
Wait for my call. Man on TV:
Hey, all right! I'm here. You're here. We're all here together. Do you have any idea
what we're doing here? Hey, Michael. You know? All right! That's what
we're going to do! [Knock on door] Hi, Catherine.
Hi, bill. Bill:
How are you today?Are you hungry? Happy Halloween,
fellas. Trick or treat. Hey, come on, man! You think I'm
f***ing stupid, b? F***. This is the kid
from the elevator. Yo, where the f***
is Freddie? He's downstairs.
He's on lookout. Hey, man, I ain't
packing nothing. I ain't packing
nothing, ok? How you doing? Good. Yeah. Listen. You guys
want to show me the product or what? Hector: No doubt. Esta bien. Oh, so it's money time
though, right? It's money time. So why
don't you call your boy and we get this money
and we do this? [Rings] Yeah? It's that time.
You ready, bro? Don't f***ing
call me that. Well, come on up.
We're waiting. Keep your f***ing
shirt on, Mikey. I'm coming,
all right? Hurry up.
These guys want their f***ing money,
all right? Yeah. Heard you
twice the first time. [Horn honks] Damn! Mike: So, fellas,
today's your lucky day. You're under arrest. [Laughter] [Men arguing] Man: Give me
the f***ing-- [gunshots] Oh, sh*t! Watch where the f***
you're going, man. I'm sorry, yo. What are you
doing here, Freddie? Nothing. I didn't
recognize you. How you doing? Manny send you? Yeah. No.
I mean no. I was just--
what? Ow! Aah! Easy, man.
Why you bugging, dude? Aah! What the f***? You're coming with me,
motherf***er. What the f***, man? What's your
f***ing problem, man? Hey, yo! Bill on TV: Ooh, boy. Hey, Michael, can you
smell the aromas? Boy, these guys know how
to play along real well... You sure
this is where we're supposed
to meet them? Yeah, I'm sure. [Siren] You positive? Absolutely.
Absolutely positive. Yeah. We can't wait
here all night. Yeah. Tell me
about it. [Car engine revs] Who you calling? A friend of mine. [Rings] Hello. Mike: Trick or treat. Precious,
how you doing? Hello. Go put
your costume on. Hey. Who's this? Hey, Max.
It's Mike. Oh, sh*t. Aw, damn,
she got so big. What do you want,
Michael? How you doing, Max? Oh, I'm fine.
Yeah. Mm-hmm. What do you want? Let me talk
to Tony. Let me talk
to Tony. Well, Tony's
not here. Listen, can you tell him
to meet me later tonight? Maxine: Well, Tony's
taking care of business, and I don't know
where to reach him. Max, please, Max. I'm in trouble now,
all right? That's the f***ing problem.
You always in trouble. That's the only time
we ever hear from you. I know, Max,
and I'm sorry. I just-- you just what?
You in jail again? No. No, it's just... It's my sister. Debbie? Yeah. She's shooting
dope again, and listen, can you
tell Tony to meet me at the old spot tonight? Help me look for her maybe? Please. Yeah, all right.
I'll tell him you called. Thanks, Max. [Dial tone] Yeah. Give precious
a big hug for me, all right? Operator: If you need help,
hang up and then dial-- what's up?
Who was that? Never mind. Come on. Let's get
the f*** out of here. Take me, help me I wish I was
a child again pack lunch before my boots so colorful so colorful kaleidoscope images 1975 films
and starsky and hutch God, do I ask
for too much? too much? God, do I ask
for too much? God, do I ask
for too much? God, do I ask
for too much? God, do I ask
