Checkmate.

I forgot all about you.

I will pull the trigger.

Yeah?

And so will I.

I do believe that's called...

Sh*t out of luck.

Goddamn f***ing whore!

Now...

Which one of you wants to go first?

That's an interesting question.

What the hell are you doing here, Bob?!

You tell me.

Put the gun down, Cameron.

Robert, turn around, drive away,

and pretend like you never came in here.

I am taking care of things.

Like you always have.

Now you're taking over my job, too.

What's left for me, then, little bro?

What's left for--

you were given everything you ever wanted!

Now, Bob, go home!

I'm dug in here!

Please!

Put the gun down, Cameron.

Lord almighty.

Jeez.

Well, I'm leaving in the morning

it just ain't the same

yes, I'm leaving in the morning

it just ain't the same

Sarah.

Got you some ice cream.

It's chocolate, your favorite.

Hi.

Cash, Billy.

Where's my cash?

10 grand,

that's all I got from that lawyer.

You lying motherf***er.

Just take the f***ing money, and let us go!

A thief like you...

Spends weeks on end

baby-sitting little missy here...

And 10 measly grand's all you got to show for?

How's our little bird doing, Billy?

I gotta call you back.

Stop!

That's less than 20 cents on every dollar you owe me.

What's he talking about, Billy?

Ha!

Aah!

Your boyfriend here...

Stole half a kilo of my dope

to pay his gambling debts.

So Billy and I had a serious conversation

after I gave him a little whipping,

a reminder, so he wouldn't forget.

Now you know what to do, you f***.

The nice guy that I am,

I let him have a chance to redeem himself.

What am I gonna do?

Billy just needed to give you a helping hand...

Do you know what this is?

And collect your look-alike's...

Ellen's fortune.

Unbelievable.

I mean, you guys could be twins.

You were set up, Sarah.

You look confused!

Heh.

You thought I'd bought the farm that first night

when the b*tch here let that gun go off!

Didn't you?

F***!

God damn it!

My f***ing heart!

God damn, Billy.

Rot in hell.

Was it true, what he said?

It was my only chance to get out.

Do you know...

How sad it feels...

When somebody you really care for...

Says just what you want to hear...

And none of it's true?

Every kiss...

Every look...

Nothing but a fairy tale.

But it was true.

I loved you from the moment I walked into Stanley's.

That was always true.

It still is.

What's this?

Remember the painting?

The one above the fireplace.

Take it.

Apparently it's worth a few dollars.

You get a fresh start.

Forget about me.

Like Eddie said...

I'm good for nothin'.

You know what?

Screw Eddie.

I was walking

late one night

I was walking

late one night

and I saw her standing there

in the light
