Now he's gonna bury him. I'll make a deal with you.

I'm gonna follow him. If he's off to bury

his dead brother,

I'll give you a nickel. If not, you have to do

everything I tell you

for the rest of your life. That worked when

I was six years old. I'm not six years old anymore. Take it or leave it.

my wallet back. I just want

my wallet! What the hell's

goin' on here?

Slow down. Stay away from me! Just give me

back my wallet. Give me back my bat! Look, I'm not a thief.

in my pants that

you stole from me! I sent the pants too. I'm wearing the pants. Give him back his bat! (GRUNTS) (GROANS) Are you okay? Oh, sh*t.

what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna go to the bank

and take what's mine! What do you say to that? You bastard! (GLASS CRUNCHING) Aw, sh*t! (HALLELUJAHPLAYING) Hallelujah, hallelujah (GRUNTS)
