Revenge for Jolly!

Are you Everett Bachmeier?

I can't tell you how the story

ends but I'll tell you how it begin.

Yesterday started out like

a lot of other days.

I woke up, combed my hai, drank

some beer and played with Jolly.

My dog, Jolly.

I loved her more than

anything in the world.

Look, it's a bunch of

bacon on TV.

It's a little ham on TV,

a little glazed ham.

I'm not a bad guy.

I'm a good guy

but, I've done

some bad things.

Yeah, I understand.

Well, what do you

want me to say?

I never lived

a normal life.

Never had a normal job.

Never wanted one.

You could say... You could

say I had my own business.

Hello?

I did stuff.

Hello?

Sometimes business was goo,

sometimes business

was bad.

Yesterday was one

of those days.

F***.

Whenever stuff got soar for me...

Jolly knew.

She loved me.

Sit.

Things were about

to get pretty ugly.

My brain was like

a washing machine.

I had to get out of the house, so

I went to see my cousin, Cecil.

I never talk to

a lot of people.

People are hard to trust but I had

to tell someboy what was going on.

Cecil's a good guy too.

He's got his issues

like anyone else.

He was just

in the hospital again.

Sometimes things

get really hard for him

when his head doesn't wok the way

it's supposed to and he shuts down.

He just shrinks away.

Mary Ann is

Cecil's girlfriend.

She loves him a lot,

she takes care of him.

She knows how he is,

he makes his mistakes,

but she's always

there for him.

That's how Jolly was for m.

Can we talk?

Yeah.

Mary Ann honey.

Hmm?

Come here for a second?

Um, Harry and I just need a little

bit of quiet time. Just me and him.

Mary Ann?

Yeah?

This is the best chocolate

cake I've ever had.

It's so chocolaty.

It's very, very chocolaty.

I don't...

I don't know how you get that

much chocolate into one cake.

Thank you.

I am glad that you like it.

I like it and thank

you for making it for us.

She great?

She's so great.

Yeah, she's great.

Mmm-hmm.

So what? What, what?

What's wrong?

I'm in a lot of trouble.

No, you're not.

They're gonna get me.

What? Who? Who...

Who's gonna get you?

You know that thing I was supposed

to do for those guys from Eddie's?

Mmm-hmm.

I couldn't do it.

And now,

they say I owe 'em.

Hey, I owe 'em

a lot of money.

How much?

A lot.

Huh.

Well, I could probably get Mary Ann

to, to give me a couple hundred bucks

if I ask her really nice.

It's more than that, right?

What are you gonna do?

Leaving town. Tomorrow.

I'm bringing Jolly with me.

She's all I need and I don't

care about anything else, so...

You're gonna leave?

Hey.

You wanna get really drunk?

Yeah.

Yeah. Okay.

Okay.

Yeah. Yeah.

Everything's gonna

be fine.

Everything's gonna be fine.

That's right.

Can I have a little bit of

my chocolate cake back?

Yeah. Sorry.

That's fine.

I wasn't really finished.

Okay. Sorry.

I just... Yeah, I thought

you were finished.

Nah, I just felt...

I was taking a break.

Me and Cecil

stayed up all night.

Drank a lot of beers,

played Candy Land.

Usual stuff.

I was just gonna pack a few

things, grab Jolly and go.

I didn't even know where. Figured,

get there when I got there.

No. No!

Hello?

What?

F***.

All right.

Stay there.

She...

...was the only thing

that made me...

You know, she...

She knew how much

you loved her.

The man that killed her...

I'm gonna find him.

And I want you to help.

Help me.

Yeah. Of course.

Is that everything?

We'll make it right.

Jolly's dead.

The man that killed her t

a thousand pins in my he.

Nothing could make

that kind of pain go away.

And nothing could stop me

from finding him.

Fun?

Sure.

It's early.

Even for you two.

Yeah, two beers, Thomas.

Please.

Sure.

Just put 'em on my tab.

Uh, Eddie capped

your tab, Cecil.

Just put 'em on my tab.

You... You don't have one

anymore either.

Yeah, I don't think

that's gonna cover it.

Well...

Thanks.

Somebody killed my dog.

Killed?

His dog.

It's a little girl.

She's dead.

I wonder why somebody

would do something like that.

You do?

I do.

You...

You wonder?

Yeah.

Hmm...

Thomas,

has anybody come by?

Asked where I lived?

Hmm...

I...

I, uh, I'm not...

Um...

Maybe.

- No.

- Maybe,

or no?

Yup.

Yup, what? What the f***

are you trying to say?

I'm trying to say that...

That maybe there wasn't a guy.

No.

There was.

There was maybe this guy.

This guy...

What about him?

Thomas?

Tell us about this guy.

This one guy,

Bachmeier.

Comes in every so often.

Last time he came in, he,

he asked me if I knew where

Harry Dennis lived.

And you told him?

Uh...

Well, Eddie was here, too.

And, and, and he...

Thomas,

why did you tell him?

Why did you do that?

Why'd you do that?

Well, where can we find him?

Bachmeier.

I don't know.

Huh?

I don't know.

He... He came in with Tina

from the hotel.

Tina fro...

I know Tina from the hotel.

You...

...shouldn't have told him

where I lived.

Hey. Relax.

What?

Relax.

No, no, no!

Wait, gun? Hey, Harry, come on.

What are you doing? Just...

We're friends.

I'm your friend, right?

Sorta. Just please, put the...

Put the gun away.

Please!

Please?

Harry.

Harry, please.

Harry.

Harry.

I mean, it's...

It's just a dog, right?

Oh, sh*t.

F***.

Just a dog?

What kind of...

Yeah, I know, I know,

I don't know!

Oh!

I'm sorry.

I realize that

sometimes pets...

Thomas?

Thomas, you all right, buddy?

Oh-kay. Okay, okay.

Oh.

Okay. Okay, okay.

I'm gonna get some,

some travelers. All right?

F***, man.

Oh, sh*t.

We gotta get out of here.

What happened?

I was thinking,

you probably

didn't need to kill Thomas.

I needed to.

Well...

I just, I didn't think we were

gonna start this early.

I figured that we'd...

I don't know...

Thomas?

Maybe he was right.

Maybe I didn't need to kill

Thomas, but I couldn't help it.

Too right now.

I miss her.

In "the thing"

they gave us cats.

Cats?

Yeah.

Something

to care about.

My little girl, Patty.

I took really good care

of her. I'd comb her hair.

And I'd read to her.

I taught her how to count.

Every morning I'd wake up and

she'd be half on my pillow,

sleeping right next to me.

And she'd crack open

her eye just a little bit.

And she'd just purr...

And then one day I woke up,

she was gone.

Where'd she go?

I miss her.

Can I have a chip?

Take the beers?

Sure.

We should carry

our beer in a box

or a bag.

We?

Can you grab that?

Or a carton

or something.

I'm the one

carrying the beers.

Are you gonna knock?

I'm a shitty knocker.

I got the beers.

Just knock.

Fine, fine.

No.

Whoa!

Tina.

Come on.

We got beers, come on.

I don't want

your piss warm beer.

Do you have money?

Uh...

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

We've got money.

Who's he?

It's my cousin, Harry.

It's all right, go ahead.

Harry, huh?

You don't look like a Harry.

Why not?

Your hair. It's...

I like it this way.

Do you have

any friends?

I could call Vicki.

Yeah! Yes. Vicki.

You're gonna like Vicki.
