- ( YELLS )

- In the f***ing river!

If you dare to be angry

about Isabel...

you're a hypocrite.

I've asked around

about your job

for the Chinese boss.

They say, "Crazy JOEY

deals drugs."

I just deliver the stuff.

I don't touch the stuff.

The autopsy said Isabel

"touched the stuff."

Maybe stuff you delivered.

You don't put those things

together in your head.

You know why she

ended up in the river?

Because that's what

the river's for.

To wash away girls when

they're finished with them.

I see what's happening

in this f***ing city.

How many people

you feed these days, huh?

You give them soup.

They want their lives back!

JOEY, when you were

out of your head on drugs

a few months ago,

you gave me some money.

I've spent it on

something for myself.

I haven't been able

to sleep properly since.

I... I called

my sister in Warsaw.

She sold some of the

possessions I left behind.

I don't need this.

I'm really sorry about Isabel.

I know you cared for her,

but think about

all the other Isabels.

Start to do the right thing.

It is honest money.

I cleaned it for you.

Use it to start an honest life.

I want you to have this.

I'm gonna do a lot of

good things this summer.

Give people what they want.

I thought you might

want a dress.

JOEY, I'm a nun.

I used to wear a uniform.

Don't mean a thing,

you just take it off.

If it looks beautiful on you,

then God would say

it's okay, wouldn't He?

I will put it in the bag

of clothes for Africa.

WOMAN ON TV:
My guest this week

is Baroness Glennis Baker,

a emeritus professor

of psychology.

She has specialized

in the health and welfare

of people with learning

disabilities,

advising on policies

and influencing...

( SIGHS )

( GIRL'S VOICE SCREAMING )

F***.

( BOWL SHATTERS )

( WHISTLING )

Yeah!

( LAUGHS )

Your cash and your rocks, boys.

Don't remember me, do you?

Not surprised.

I've changed.

( BLADE RINGS )

You've got a knife...

I've got a spoon.

( GRUNTS )

( YELLS )

Who killed Isabel?

- ( GROANS )

- ( YELLING )

- ( CRACKS )

- ( YELLING )

Go on, JOEY.

Show 'em. Show 'em!

( SCREAMING )

( MUMBLES )

Who killed Isabel?

I don't know.

( GROANS )

You're only alive

because I need information.

An eye for an eye.

You tell me

what happened to her,

or I'll kill you

with this spoon.

Some guy used to

rent her regular.

Beat her up.

He used to ask for her.

He went too far.

Name.

We don't use names.

Describe him to me.

- Ah!

- Describe him to me.

He was about 30, city boy,

scar over his eye.

That's all I know.

You get any trouble

from these two again,

you tell Crazy Joe, okay?

( CHILDREN CHATTERING )

( SWITCH CLICKS )

Jesus.

( MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY )

F***.

You look...

Your note said

you had information

for the police

about Isabel's killer.

That is the only reason

I am here.

And I put on this dress because

it is the only dress I have.

And don't think I won't

send it to Africa,

because I will.

They think my name's DAMON,

by the way.

Please don't remind me.

- I think I might faint.

- What?

I haven't eaten

anything all day...

worrying whether

or not I would come.

Also, I didn't realize

there would be

so many naked men.

( GASPS )

Look, I arranged

to meet you here

because I thought you might

like the photographs.

I didn't realize

there'd be photographs

of men's... penises.

Sorry.

JOEY, actually,

I do like photographs.

I take photographs...

usually of nature.

Penises are nature, I suppose.

Yes, I suppose they are.

So what'd you tell the mother?

I lied, I lied, I lied.

So what information

do you have?

Tell your policeman to

look for a guy around 30.

He has a scar above his eye.

Works in the city.

Should I write this down?

That's all I have.

Okay...

30 years old,

scar above his eye,

works in the city.

Got it.

We haven't been introduced.

I'm Karl.

What's your name?

Just looking around.

I'm told the invitation

you handed in at the desk

was addressed

to DAMON Coldfield.

I happen to be DAMON's

photographic agent.

He's in New York.

Who the hell are you?

( SPEAKING POLISH )

I think you're a bit drunk.

Yes.

I'm having a crazy patch.

Starting when

I bought the ticket.

What ticket?

I used your money to buy

a ticket to a ballet.

That's a pretty

wicked thing to do.

( CHUCKLES )

But, you see...

I've loved her

since I was a little girl.

Loved who?

Maria Zielinska.

She's 42 and still dancing.

She is who I always

wanted to be.

She is who I should have been.

( SPEAKING POLISH )

( SHATTERS )

I'm in a silk dress

in an alleyway...

with a gangster.

- Whoa!

- Oop!

And I'm drunk.

Are you still a gangster,

JOEY, or did I change you?

Just having a crazy patch, too.

There are things

that I have to do.

When the summer's over,

I'll stop.

Because of me, yes?

I have to think I'm doing good.

Your excuse for wearing

a pretty dress.

When does DAMON return?

October the first.

( SCOFFS ) Then it's fate.

What is?

When I say it's fate...

I should really say

it's God, but I don't.

You know why?

Because I'm not so sure

that God is there anymore.

That's the truth.

( SPEAKING POLISH )

I think I'm going to throw up.

Oh.

No, I'm fine.

Sister, I'm Catholic.

I'm not your sister.

I'm drunk and I'm

up against the wall.

30...

a scar above the eye...

works in the city.

WOMAN:

A massive 50% off.

Rain jackets half price.

Fleece half price,

T-shirts half price.

Walking shoes half price.

- A massive 50% off.

- ( CAR ALARM CHIRPS )

JOEY...

H- how are things?

Things are okay.

Have you heard from DAMON?

Yeah, he's okay.

You seem so together now.

I'm really together now.

You're like a different person.

So, JOEY...

are you exclusively gay?

You know, it's interesting...

recently...

I've found myself

attracted to...

nuns.

( CAR ENGINE STARTS )

( MEN SPEAKING ITALIAN )

Who the f*** are you?

You owe

Mr. Choy money.

What the f*** do you know

about Mr. Choy?

JOEY:

He's my boss.

What are you talking about?

Mr. Choy only

employ Chinese.

Tell Mr. Choy

I'll send him a check.

( JOEY SCOFFS )

I'm taking the cash.

( SPEAKING ITALIAN )

Give me the f***ing cash.

( WOMAN SPEAKS ITALIAN )

Step out of the way, my friend,

and let me take

some of what you owe in cash

as a gesture of goodwill.

No!
