- Wait.

I don't think you understand.

My friend...

Is a killer, that's what I am.

A trained killer!

Oh, Special Forces.

When I was in the Corps,

we used to eat you Green Beret pussies for breakfast.

Eat this!

This guy's tough, Wally.

If I hear him, I can hit him.

He'd put a hole through your head.

So you ain't talking now, huh?

Come on, big mouth, say something.

Let's get down.

Come on. Last night

I was out with your sister.

- Okay, butthead.

- Hey!

You're all right, champ.

He's coming.

I'll give you the first hit.

Come on.

He's coming, Wally.

He's coming.

Lower, he's a couple inches

shorter than you.

- Aim for 12 o'clock.

- Hit him!

All right.

Okay, let's go. Let's go.

Eleven o'clock!

Ooh!

Circle right. Circle right. Circle right.

And left, left, left. Circle left.

Circle left. And right!

Right, circle right.

Circle left. Left.

Stand still!

Get ready! One o'clock!

Good. Good.

Twelve!

Five to three. I got mixed up!

Argh!

Circle left. Circle left.

Shut up and let him fight.

Move right. Move right.

Get ready!

Hey, I said shut the f*** up!

Wha...?

Read my lips, a**hole!

I got that.

Wally.

Dave!

One o'clock!

Son of a b*tch!

You little son of a b*tch.

You had enough?

Little creep!

How are you doing?

I'm doing great!

We should hang out more often.

Yeah, it's nice to unwind

after work.

Does that mean I get the job?

Depends on how this fight

comes out.

So I bought this big bottle

of champagne.

Must've cost 45 bucks.

I asked my sister to drop

me off at Jones Beach.

I sat myself down in the sand,

started drinking,

and sneaking peeks to see

if people was watching me cry.

Then I realized it didn't matter,

because I couldn't see them anyway.

That's when I made a decision.

I wasn't gonna piss my life away

because of anger.

That's when I decided,

blind or not blind,

I was gonna be the same lovable

a**hole I've always been.

You haven't made that

decision yet, have you?

No.

How'd you become an actor

if you're deaf?

I wasn't born deaf.

I got scarlet fever in high school.

I didn't lose all my hearing

until eight years ago.

Why'd you stop acting?

I started missing my cues

when the other actors would turn.

I couldn't see their lips.

They ever catch you?

No, I don't think anyone knew.

I just lost my nerve.

When's the last time you were...?

Sorry, you were eating. What?

Laid!

The last time you were laid!

Too sad.

Next subject, please.

You don't want to know.

So where's your wife?

Cleveland. I haven't seen her

for eight years.

Nice lady?

Very nice.

Wonderful, warm woman.

And then one day,

she turned into this creature

who could sit on the end

of a broomstick

and take off into the air.

She could actually

achieve flight.

Wow. I think I was married

to that lady.

Small world.

Funny thing is,

this didn't happen to her

till just about the same time

I went completely deaf. Coincidence?

Amazing. Who'd believe it?

So, what do you want out of life

before the show's over?

Just not to make a fool out of myself.

That's all you want?

I have this terrible fear

that I'm gonna

make some mistake

and everyone's gonna

stand around and stare at me.

Boy, damn. I wish I had

met you eight years ago.

I can fix all your problems

in 10 seconds.

Ten seconds?

Ten seconds, if you trust me.

You trust me?

Yeah, sure.

Listen.

Hey, you're a good-looking guy.

Thank you.

That's very kind of you.

How's that feel? Good?

Look a little silly to me.

Kind of foolish.

You see?

Life ain't so complicated.

When's the next coming, Ray?

Any second.

That might be the truck coming now.

I gotta go get a screwdriver.

So, uh, the blind guy around?

Hey.

Oh.

Where's the blind guy?

Who do you want?

Kerew. Wally Kerew.

I'm his bookie.

I owe him some money.

Well, he's waiting for a delivery.

He'll be back in a minute.

Where's he, out front?

I'll go find him.

I almost forgot.

I need some, uh...

Some, I don't know...

We're not open yet.

I know. Listen, I need some

of that stuff up there.

My tummy's all kaput.

What is that stuff up there?

The antacids?

Yeah, listen.

What's the difference between

Alka-Seltzer and the one next to it?

Di-Gel?

Yeah. Can you do me a favor.

Would you read it to me?

You want me to read out Di-Gel?

Yeah, my eyes ain't too good.

Just read it, please?

Jesus.

Uh, "Di-Gel contains

calcium carbonate,

an effective antacid.

It is also..."

Where are you going?

Here, take it.

I wasn't trying

to pull anything. Honestly.

You were told to deliver this

from the airport.

I thought I was being tailed.

I thought it was the cops.

I didn't want to bring them near Mr. Sutherland.

Tell him that.

No, you tell him that.

I've got a car out front.

Come on,

I'm dead if I go with you.

You're dead

if you don't go with me.

"...bubbles of gas trapped in the stomach

can cause heartburn,

acid indigestion

and that full, bloated feeling.

And unlike plain antacids,

the simethicone

breaks up gas bubbles rapidly

to relieve fullness and pressure."

I feel like a commercial.

What the hell was that?

Wait a minute.

Wait, my ass!

I thought I heard...

What is this, hide-and-seek?

What? What's this?

Hey. Ooh.

Hello?

Oh, no!

This guy's dead.

Wally, there's a gun here.

Don't touch it.

Move it!

Freeze!

Drop it! I said drop it!

What did he say?

You holding a weapon?

Yes, I am.

Throw it away! Get rid of it!

Stay there!

Freeze!

Don't shoot!

I'll blow your brains out.

Wait.

Shut up!

Please, be gentle.

Let's go.

Wait.

You don't think I had anything to do with this.

He came for Alka-Seltzer.

The man asked me to read him a Di-Gel label.

Can you believe that?

We don't even know the man.

Wally, get the money from the box.

Yeah.

Officer, excuse me,

isn't there some

nice way we can settle this?

Can I get my coat?

- Hang on, we'll get your coats.

- Jesus!

Wally, tell Mr. Huddelston

to lock up for us.

Yeah.

- Open it up.

- You're sick!

Dave?

Dave?

Head down.

- Head down, bring it down.

- Dave?

Watch your leg, watch your leg.

License:
One-David-George-x-ray...

All right, let's move out.

You really can't say whether

this mystery woman fired the shot.

No, I can't,

but if she's innocent,

why did she leave

right after the shot was fired?

That makes sense.

Gatlin.

What's the story? I got the

commissioner crawling up my ass.

The whole thing sounds shaky.

The deaf guy, he's not

so sure about the woman.

The blind guy heard the shot,

but can't make an identification.

For chrissakes,

you're feeling too sorry for them.

You're always feeling sorry for people.

That's your trouble.

All right, I'll take care of this.

Oh.

We're gonna quit f***ing around

and start talking serious.

You claim there was a woman?

Was there a woman present?

Was there a woman present?

Oh, sorry. You talking to me?

You bet your ass I am.

Was there or wasn't there?

Was there or wasn't there what?

A woman present!

I smelled a woman,
