When a woman bends over

a man sees a jelly doughnut.

Her brain expands. His explodes.

Dead on arrival

in her powdered jelly doughnut.

Dad.

Daddy?

# I can remember when we walked together

# Sharing a love I thought

# Would last forever

# Moonlight to show the way

# So we can follow

# Waiting inside her eyes

# Was my tomorrow

# Then something changed her mind

# Her kisses told me

# I had no loving arms

# To hold me

# Every day I wake up

then I start to break up

# Lonely is a man without love

# Every day I start out

then I cry my heart out

# Lonely is a man without love

# Every day I wake up

then I start to break up

# Knowing that it's cloudy above

# Every day I start out

then I cry my heart out

# Lonely is a man without love

# I cannot face this world

that's fallen down on me

# So, if you see my girl

# Please send her home to me

# Tell her about my heart... #

One, two. One, two. Okay, go.

# We are beautiful

# We are not ugly?

# We are angry? #

Hey, honey? I'm home?

Brought you some cookies.

Pignolia nuts.

What's the matter?

Somebody die?

"If God's gift of grace

or the light on your face...

...could make me forget your vagina is wet."

Let me see that.

"To Tula, my Tula, my red flower of love."

What are you, a private dick?

How different could it be, huh?

It's just a hole.

You can't incriminate a man

over some words.

What do you think you're

gonna find there? Peanuts?

It's poetry?

Po... Oh, it's poetry.

Well, I'm gonna give you

some f***ing poetry.

Pink motels. White thighs. Deep fried.

Shake it, bake it, rotate it.

Swollen heads. Busted beds.

Empty lots. Dirty red twats.

- You just made that up?

- I'm deep.

A man is innocent till proven guilty.

I'm gonna lop your power helmet right off.

- Oh, you're gonna threaten me now?

- You whoremaster.

- You whoremaster. I smoked your ass out...

- No.

- ...you two-faced Judas!

- I am not a whoremaster!

My brothers, they're the whoremasters!

Not me!

Ever since you grew

that filthy little moustache!

I am not a whoremaster!

Preening in the mirror like Maria Callas!

Put the cologne all over my back, sweetie.

I cook you chicken, fish, no butter

low-cal this, low-cal that.

I trim your nose hairs, you f***!

I swear on my father's grave, okay?

Oh, another whoremaster!

What's going on, Mom?

Oh, your father went on a beaver diet!

- This is not normal.

- Grow up.

Only a giant among idiots would marry you.

It's all in your head!

- What?

- What's in her head?

He's shitting out of the cup!

Will you listen to her?

Listen to your daughter.

Snatch hairs pasted on your lip!

You shut up!

It's between your mother and me!

Knock it off! That's not f***ing nice!

It's not f***ing nice.

Even Gogo hated you.

Who's Gogo?

I don't like animals.

I don't like cats. I don't like dogs.

I don't like birds. I don't like fish.

I'm like my mother. I don't like animals!

- Who is Gogo?

- Mommy's cat.

Every day you'll wake up alone.

You don't even like me anymore, do you?

I hate you with all the hate

that you can hate with!

Did you hear that?

Did you hear what your mother said to me?

Can you hate more than that?

If you can, then I hate you more than that.

Then go back to him!

Go back to your first love!

Go back to him! Go!

"I can remember when we walked together

"Sharing a love I thought would last forever."

I'd give anything if you'd

come back to me. Anything.

# I cannot face this world

# That's fallen down on me

# So, if you see my girl

please send her back to me

# Tell her about my heart

# That's slowly dying

# Say I can't stop myself

# From crying

# Every day I wake up

then I start to break up

# Lonely is a man without love

# Every day I start out

then I cry my heart out

# Lonely is a man without love

# Every day I wake up

# Then I start to break up

# Knowing that it's cloudy above

# Every day I start out

then I cry my heart out

# Lonely is a man without love

# Every day I wake up

then I start to break up

# Knowing that it's cloudy above

# Every day I start out

then I cry my heart out

Oh, three o'clock, three o'clock.

# Lonely is a man without love

# Every day I wake up

then I start to break up

# Lonely is a man without love

# Every day I start out

# Then I cry my heart out

# Lonely is a man

# Without love! #

What's the problem?

I'm a married man.

A domestic disturbance was reported, sir.

- Yeah, that's the problem.

- Name, sir?

Nick Murder.

- You ever been married?

- More than once, sir.

Yeah? What went wrong?

Everything, sir. Am now once again.

Third wife, sir.

No, no, no, one wife, that's all a man's

meant to have. One wife. It's enough.

Yes, sir.

What's with all the "sir" sh*t?

Military habit, sir.

Oh, yeah? What branch?

Navy. Sound off!

Rat sh*t. Bat sh*t. Dirty old twat.

Sixty-nine a**holes tied in a knot.

Eat, bite, suck, f***, nibble, gobble, chew.

I'm a f***ing paratrooper!

Who the f*** are you? Sir!

- Marriage is combat, son.

- Yes, sir.

- And not clean combat.

- No, sir.

She's got her territory in there, I've got mine.

She's got her army back in there.

I'm out here alone.

There's no prayer in that animal.

- He's a selfish man, Ma.

- Something should be done about him.

Drink some water.

I live in fear when he's around.

I love you, Ma. I love you so much.

I love you so much with all my heart

and soul. I love you more than my real mom.

I mean, I love her, too

but I can't remember her, so...

Rara, come on, come on.

I love Baby, but she doesn't any spend time

with me anymore. She's changed.

Enough.

If the love ain't there

it's gonna come back, Ma.

Come on. Rara, give her some space.

Come here, come here.

Here. Come here.

What did he mean, "Go back to him? "

Go back to who?

There was someone else

in my life a long time ago.

A gentle man.

You were married to him?

Before the war.

He went off to fight far, far away.

I met your father then.

No, I saw her coming out of the loo

at her crazy sister's apartment.

She had this headful of wet hair

and was wearing

a soft, cream-coloured terry cloth robe.

So I asked her.

I need to borrow a piece of luggage.

- You shacking up?

- Ah, ain't nothing wrong with sex.

You have big ones, buster.

Yeah. Dinosaur balls.

I'm from Brooklyn.

Boys don't talk to girls like that in Brooklyn.

I felt a sharp pain, like death.

The girl with the kind eyes, I says.

That's the girl. The girl I will marry.

You rat bastard.

I know you're in there.

Where are you?

Lost in the void.

Help me!

Somebody help me!

God had to give me cataracts.

One day you'll be blind like me!

In the dark forever, like me!

"Oh, sunlight of no light

"Once you were mine

"Let me feel the pillars upon which this

house rests

"Oh, Lord God, remember me, I pray thee

"And strengthen me, I pray thee

only this once, oh, God

"that I may revenge myself upon the

Philistines for one of my two eyes."

Die, Samson!

"Let me die with the Philistines!"
