- Yeah.
He was the one
who came to the house.
Didn't you used to know him?
Yeah, I used to know him.
Ronnie, I didn't come
all this way not to see my baby.
They'll be watching our house...
so you have to take me someplace
outside of town.
Then tonight you bring my baby
out to see me.
Then tomorrow I'll be gone.
Ronnie, please.
I'm your sister.
I need your help.
Okay, Lila.
A friend of mine's grandma died
a few months ago.
She had a house off the highway
past the bait shop.
I'll be out there all night,
so don't wait up.
Are Dud and John
going to be with you?
No, they're not.
We don't need 19 goddamn people
to watch a house.
I know you're capable of...
Just because I'm not from L.A.
Don't mean I can't watch a house.
Okay?
I love you.
You know that, don't you?
I know that.
And I love our little girl
more than anything.
I know that, too.
we talked about if I had the money.
The problem is, I don't have it.
Your partner's making me nervous.
Sit your ass down, ponytail.
I know you guys are on the run.
You need everything you can get.
It's better than nothing, right?
Let's lighten up.
This town is hot, and so are you.
You're on every goddamn channel.
You got no on else
you can trust but me.
I'm going to let you walk with one.
You can take it or leave it.
F***er.
Eight f***ing dollars. Who cares?
He has to have more money than that.
Let's go.
Pull over. We're splitting up.
What are you talking about?
Pull over. Everything's f***ed up.
We'll split the money and the coke,
then I'm gone.
I ain't doing that.
Don't f*** with me.
Just give me my money.
I can't do that.
I don't have any money.
- Say what?
- I said I don't have any money.
Where's my money?
I ain't got it.
She took the f***ing money.
I got $56. She took it.
Now let me go before I have a wreck.
You're a p*ssy-whipped f***er.
Don't give me that sh*t.
It was your f***ing buddies
who had no money.
Your good friend, Billy.
What the f*** am I doing with you?
You're a p*ssy-whipped motherf***er!
If you want any money,
you'll have to go to Arkansas.
Lila, we got to go.
Just give me a few minutes with him.
It's almost four in the morning.
I know.
It's time for you to go home, go to bed
and get up and see your grandma.
I love you, honey.
Will you be a good boy?
Give me a kiss good-bye.
Come on, Lila.
Take care of my baby, okay?
Will you be all right?
Ronnie, put the money
in the bank, okay?
Ronnie, put the money
in the bank, okay?
Dale.
- How you doing?
- Stop right there.
Turn around.
Put your hands on the counter.
Spread your legs.
Simon says.
Can I turn around now?
Just stay like that.
Where are your two pals?
Ray and Pluto?
They'll be here soon.
How soon is that?
I don't know.
They have to call first.
How do I know you're not lying?
They might show up here any minute.
I'm not lying to you, Dale.
What will you do with me?
Get in the other room.
Go on.
Go into the living room.
- What are you doing?
- Sit down.
What are you doing?
Two fellows from L.A.
Want to meet you.
- Put the phone down.
- Why?
Ray and Pluto will call here
to see if everything is cool.
I won't answer the phone
if you call those cops.
Yes, you will.
Goddamn it!
Lila, even if I wanted to,
I can't help you.
I don't have the legal authority.
You didn't have the authority
to f*** me when I was 17...
but that didn't stop you.
That's right.
Instead of spying on me...
why didn't you come in
and say hello to your son?
He's not my kid.
Not your kid?
He's nearly as white as you are.
That proves nothing.
Are you calling me a whore?
I was a virgin when we met,
and you know it.
Hear the whippoorwill?
Remember what you said
about hearing a whippoorwill?
It means somebody's going to die.
Why do we have to
sit here in the dark?
I don't want to be a sitting duck
if they show up.
I told you,
they won't be here until they call.
- Where you going?
- My cigarettes are in my purse.
- Get one of mine.
- I smoke menthol.
I'll get them.
I forgot that thing
was even in there.
Ray gave it to me for protection.
I don't know how it works.
You pull the damn trigger.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Did you think I would shoot you?
That's crazy.
Now can I have
my cigarettes, please?
You have a light, baby?
Does your wife treat you right?
Yes, Lila, she does.
That's good.
What's her name again?
Thelma Lou?
Cheryl Ann.
That's right.
And you and Cheryl Ann have
a little girl.
What's her name?
Bonnie.
How old is she?
Eight.
You don't like telling me
about your family, do you?
No, I guess I don't.
I don't blame you.
- I got something for you.
- Where are you going?
Don't shoot me, Officer.
What the hell are you doing now?
- Can I turn on the light?
- No.
I put it in here to keep it fresh.
Can we leave this open
to get some light?
This is our baby's birthday cake.
I don't want any.
Suit yourself.
It's good.
You should try some.
Today's his birthday?
No. It was in September.
I missed it.
I left him with Mama
before he was two years old.
That means
I've missed four birthdays...
so we celebrated all four of them
last night.
Does your mama know about...
Know what?
No, I never told her.
I never meant you any trouble, Dale.
I still don't.
Wouldn't Bonnie be surprised to know
she had a half-brother in N*gger Town.
You should have some
of our baby's cake...
Quit calling him that.
Why? That's what he is.
Damn it.
I told you I didn't want any.
- Do you want this?
- What are you doing?
- This is what you want.
- Cut it out.
Cut it out, goddamn it!
Why did you ever f*** with me?
Me and Ronnie's daddy was white,
did you know that?
Of course, we never knew him.
He had another family.
That's why I kind of look white.
Because my daddy was white.
And you figured
since I kind of look white...
you could f*** me,
what the hell.
Because I was kind of black...
you could dump me, what the hell.
211 to 210.
211 to 210.
211 to 210.
Dale, where are you at?
Hey, June.
Juney! How are you doing?
You got something for me?
Hi, Mr. Charlie.
Is this Ronnie? Ronnie, this is Ray.
Is Fantasia there?
Yeah, Lila.
Where is she?
Have you got a number
out there for her?
Give it to me, all right?
Ronnie! Ronnie, come here.
- Come here.
- I got to go.
If you know something
about Lila being here...
you tell these gentlemen.
I don't want you
being in trouble, too.
No, ma'am. I don't know
nothing about that.
June Hawkins told me he was
Driving back, he saw you driving
in front of him with Byron in the car.
Why were you out with Byron
at 4 A. M.?
We've been here all night.
June's mixed up. He's old.
He don't see so well.
I'll make the bastard talk!
He won't talk.
It's his sister.
Can I speak to the boy?
- How are you this morning?
- Fine.
- Pretty sleepy?
- I guess so.
