Q
1
Oh, hello again
you little creep.
Here again today! How many times can
you wash that same dumb window?
There's my girlfriend.
I love you.
Oh, jeez.
Hello?
No, only in black. I can give it
to you if I call the factory.
Guess who's on my ledge again?
That little jerk.
I know you love me.
I know you love me.
Oh, that driving me crazy
with that squeaking.
Yeah. I'll check with the
factory and get back to you.
Ha! I wish he'd take a walk.
Huh? Hey, what are you
looking for?
Looking for the head.
The only place I haven't looked
is up in the parapets.
Won't be much left of it. You ever
drop a cantaloupe from 40 stories?
All right, so what the hell
do you make out of all this?
out of one of the windows
from the floor up above
and hit him.
Sheared his head clean off. A big shard
of glass or something like that.
There's no broken
windows up there.
Oh, sh*t. Maybe his head
just got loose and fell off.
Look, what do you want from me?
The entire gig shouldn't take
more than three
and a half minutes, right?
In and out.
Hey, Quinn.
Take it yes on
I'm sorry,
I thought you had some.
You got to watch this guy,
you know.
I'm telling you,
he's a nervous eater.
You got to defend yourself
over here.
Now, let's talk business.
I'm strictly a wheelman.
I don't go inside.
And I don't carry a piece.
And my cut is 20%.
Oh, no, no, no.
Your cut is 12.5%.
And you haven't worked
in eight months.
Well, Quinn,
what's it going to be?
In or out?
I'll let you know.
You better let us know
real soon, Quinn.
Oh, you're not
the only action in town.
Oh! No, our friend
- Oh, yeah, huh, Quinn?
Working, yeah.
Better step outside, son.
You don't want to see this.
He told the bellhop
he was going to visit a museum.
What museum?
Boy, I'm telling you.
Somebody did a terrific job
on this guy with all
the right tools.
Peeled him like an orange.
Not your
ordinary psychopath, huh?
Bought a copy of "Q" magazine
and took off.
In less than six hours,
somebody skinned him.
Flayed is the correct term
I think.
But you don't
hear it much anymore.
At least not
in that last ten centuries.
Well, if you think that's weird.
Yesterday we had a window washer
whose head just floated away
like a balloon.
You never show your emotions
you're always
keeping it cool
you take your time,
there's no worry
now everybody is pushing
they're trying
to get through
dancing, dancing,
go through the plan
but you know
that you're in the air
when you can't even trust
a friend
and too close to the flame
What is this?
What is this?
What--
where--
oh, no!
Oh, my God!
Get it off!
Ahh!
Sh*t.
Oh, Jesus!
Hey, who's up there?
Hi.
Hey, we don't open
till six o'clock.
Oh, yeah, I know that.
But I heard that you're
looking for a musician
on Mondays and Tuesday nights.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah, so I play a little bit.
And I thought maybe I show you.
Where did you hear that?
Oh, I just, uh--
I heard it.
Go ahead, help yourself.
- Oh, thanks.
- Do something.
All right, I will.
And I won't hurt the piano
like them rock signers.
They hurt pianos.
I treat them real nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just play something, huh?
Yeah, I will. And, you know,
this piano couldn't be hurt.
Go away, evil dreams
leave my baby, or don't
go away evil dreams
go away now
she wakes up
crying every night
Hey, uh-- did you ever find
that guy's head yet?
No, I looked around.
What do you do?
Two straight hearts
too red wine
tell me a story
Hey, that's all right.
That's fine.
I got another job anyway.
Sounded okay to me.
Yeah, what the f*** do you mean?
Yeah, what do I know?
Okay, we go in on the hour.
Give me the paper bag.
Stash this under your coat.
What are you giving me this for?
I don't take revolvers.
- Let's go.
- What do you mean?
I'm staying here,
I'm not going anywhere.
We have a deal, man.
- Not with me you don't.
- Hey, come on, dude.
You take an equal share,
then you take an equal chance.
Let's go.
Hey, Morgan,
I'm gonna wait here.
Move it. Now.
- Is it loaded?
- Come on.
Christ,
I could blow my nuts off.
Paul, who are those guys?
Put it down!
Oh, holy sh*t, no keys.
Oh, sh*t.
Where's my f***ing bag?
Come on, come on,
answer the phone.
Yes, hello,
This is Jimmy Quinn.
I got to talk to Howard price.
I'm a client of his.
No, well, get him on the phone.
I'm in big trouble.
I don't care if he's in
a meeting, get him on the phone.
Tell him I'm on my way
down there-- not to leave.
Don't leave for lunch
or anything, okay?
Jimmy Quinn is on his way,
all right? Okay.
Hey! It's Jimmy Quinn!
Come on.
Open up!
Sh*t.
Just what I need.
Hey!
Hey! I hear you!
Come on out! You get a year
for this, you f***ing wacko.
Hey!
Hey, I hear you!
Ah, the hell with it.
I'm almost afraid of everything,
but I never been afraid
of heights.
Look at that.
A few minutes ago
I was in the gutters.
Now I'm top of the world.
Let's go to lunch, fellas!
Come on, pack your gear,
let's go to lunch.
Hey, who got my lunch pail?
What are you looking at me for?
Look at this, it's me again.
Everything he's missing,
it's me.
Your umbrella, your
ruler, your Popsicle!
You wouldn't miss a Popsicle
Come on, let's go downstairs.
We got one hour to eat.
Let's go, fellas, come on.
That's the third one this month!
Cut the sh*t!
You son's of b*tches.
If anyone ate that sandwich, I'm gonna shove
the thermos up your asses one at a time.
Sh*t.
She's says not
to let them see me blow.
What am I supposed to say?
Thank you?
And they make an a**hole of me.
You know, his wife makes
a damn good tuna sandwich.
I'm gonna stop by and see her and
tell her about it one of these days.
The Aztecs identified flayed
skin with the new garments.
Young vegetation.
Let me get this straight.
You're talking about
human sacrifice now?
Willing sacrifice.
They give themselves
to the God willingly.
A ritual was performed
using various objects
Collimating in blood sacrifice to
strengthen the forces of nature.
Performed by the high priest.
And the victims,
you might call them a skin--
after they're skinned,
the high priest puts the skin
upon himself,
wearing it as like a garment.
Of course, we're talking about
the ancient Aztecs civilization,
not this north American culture
we see here.
I understand, Mexico.
The gods they prayed to.
One God, Quetzalcoatl,
I can give you some interesting
books on that subject.
Well, good, I need something
to put me to sleep at night.
Now, if you think
that's what happened here,
then this case wasn't murder.
What do you call it?
Suicide possibly.
Oh, your Mr. Polly might've been
coerced in one way or another.
But you must remember blood
