Sea of Love Page #6

How can you do that sh*t?

I mean, you know,

go out with guys like that.

How can you do that?

What do you mean? You do it.

Did you forget how we met?

What are you talking about?

I was on a job.

I mean, that was a job.

I was wearing a wire.

We were going to drop somebody.

I'd never do that for real.

The part about the wire.

You want to run that by me again?

- Let me just tell you...

- F*** you!

Wait a minute, now.

I was just... Listen!

I was just saying that...

What're you having?

Double Dewar, Pete.

You got it.

Oh, hi. Is...

It's 1:
00 a.m.

I'm Frank.

I know who you are.

My mouth ain't working

so good tonight, so...

all I can say right now is that...

the circumstances...

were the circumstances, and...

- No, that's not good enough.

- Okay.

The whole thing is horseshit.

Know what I mean?

The wire, the job.

There was no wire,

there was no job, no nothing.

I was just saying that

to push you away from me...

because I was going to ask you

to live with me.

And I got scared, you know?

I'm sorry.

You know...

you never even told me...

what your kid's name is.

Sarah.

I would like...

for the three of us...

you know...

to go somewhere,

a movie or something.

Just take it slow, you know?

Helen...

I can't even sleep in my own bed

anymore unless you're in it.

I mean...

I need you to lie down with me.

Otherwise, I'm just going to

walk the streets all night.

I'm so tired.

You gotta come lay down with me.

I got these shoes here.

See?

Come back with me, please.

Let me go tell my mother.

Frank, I didn't want to wake her up.

I think I need a little time

to think all this through.

I think I should be alone tonight.

Okay.

Catch you later.

Sherman.

Frankie?

Yeah.

Frank?

I forgot you were here.

Scared the sh*t out of me.

I'm gonna stay on the couch.

- I thought you went to a hotel.

- No, it didn't work out.

What's he doing here?

Is this his place?

Look, I'll go to the station house.

No, listen, I gotta talk to you.

I never did nothing

like this before.

That's okay.

No, listen.

I gotta talk to you about this.

None of this was my idea.

First Gina starts hitting on me,

rubbing my leg under the table.

Then you threw the keys.

I told you not to throw me the keys.

You want to go get her?

Want me to get her?

I'm sorry, Sherman.

I'm sorry.

Take care.

"Catch you later"?

What's that supposed to mean?

Is that some

kind of brush-off, Frank?

No, not at all.

No.

I got something for you.

Oh, yeah?

What?

You were looking at this

like it rang some bells.

Want to dance?

Okay.

Got something for me?

You got something special

for me tonight, huh?

Real special.

What do you got, Mummy?

Got something special for me?

Yeah, special.

What are you going to give me?

Find it.

Where's it at?

Find it.

Here?

Cut it out!

Let's see what we got here.

What?

Let's see.

What's this?

Why did you bring the fake one?

You forgot the real one?

Want to try mine?

You're crazy.

Come on. Let's get it over with.

I don't want to wait

a couple more days.

Let's get it over with now. Bingo.

Just put the gun away, please.

Want to f*** first?

Then get me face down?

Just put the gun away, okay?

What kind of creep am I?

I'm the guy who fucks you once

and wants to own you, right?

What about James Mackey?

What kind of creep was he?

Or that poor bastard in Queens?

What's his name? Raymond Brown.

You f***ed him good.

You've been following me around?

Last chance.

How long have you been following me?

I haven't been following you.

Then how do you know about them?

It's my job. It's what I'm paid for.

I didn't sleep with any of them.

They were just dates.

- Shut up!

- Okay, I slept with James Mackey!

Big deal! He didn't mean anything!

I don't care!

Why'd you do it, Helen?

Tell me why you did it.

Tell me you did it.

Tell me why you did it.

I want to know everything,

all right?

Come on. Talk to me.

Look. I'm wearing your shoes.

Talk to me. Come on.

Talk to me.

Look, the arresting officer

was f***ing the doer!

See? It's a joke.

It won't go to trial even.

You understand?

Talk to me. Come on.

Come on!

Helen.

Please.

Talk to me.

Get out.

Come on.

Go ahead.

Helen?

I know you!

You f***ing swinging dick!

You got in deep, man!

She throws a court order at me,

my family is up for grabs?

It's not your family!

It's not your daughter!

God!

Don't!

Go!

On the bed!

Get down on the bed, man.

Tell me, man, did you have

a good time with her last night?

Who are you talking about?

Who? Are you a f***ing owl?

I don't know who

you're talking about.

I'm talking about my wife.

My wife, Helen.

You remember her, don't you?

I don't know.

I'm a New York City...

I know who the f*** you are.

You just show me

how you did it to her!

I didn't do anything.

You know.

No, I didn't do anything.

You show me, I'll let you go.

I didn't do anything.

Show me what you did to her!

Show me!

I tell you, we didn't do anything.

Okay. Okay.

This? You mean this?

Okay?

F***ing bastard!

Get your f***ing clothes off!

Take your f***ing...

Don't f***ing move!

Put it down!

On the floor!

Hands in back of the head! Come on.

Get them on there!

Don't f***ing move!

Okay.

What are you going to do?

Lock me up and throw away the key?

Shut the f*** up!

F*** you! It ain't going to work!

It's not your wife!

- It's not your family!

- What are you doing?

No!

I hadn't seen him in about a year.

I thought he was gone for good.

That's it. That's the stuff.

This one's on the house.

You don't want to get up.

- Come here.

- How you doing, sport?

- Good to see you.

- I'm doing better than you.

What are you drinking, scotch?

No. I think I'll have

a club soda and lime.

Club soda and lime?

- You're a cheap date.

- It's the new me.

Here's to the new you,

and the old me.

Rub it in, rub it in.

How you doing, Frank?

Hanging in, hanging out.

I'm with the 1-9 now.

Yeah?

You?

Same old, same old.

That was a hard job to top.

- I hear that.

- Wildest ride I was ever on.

You know, I followed up that nutbag.

The husband, Terry?

Turns out he'd been shadowing her

for eight months.

Can you believe it?

Jesus.

She always had that edge, you know?

Like she smelled him,

like she sensed him, or something.

I must have sensed him, too.

- Wonder what she ever saw in him.

- I don't know.

What does anybody see in anybody?

People are work, brother.

A lot of work.

- Too much work.

- Did you ever see her again after?

Well, I tried, but...

she didn't want to.

Can you blame her?

I'm in bed with her, making love...

I'm out of bed,

I'm stalking her, like...

She had that nutcase

over one shoulder...

and me over the other.

Come on.

Can you blame her?

Yeah, right.

I'm going to let her go.

I ran her through a wringer, man.

You know?

What am I supposed to do?

She'd tear my head off.

What are you looking at?

How you doing?

Just great.

Good. How's your daughter?

She's fine.
