Short Cuts Page #12

---

It's all in my cell.

How you doin'?

Good.

Here's a song I want to sing for myself.

- [Resumes]

- [Joe] I lay low, like a black cat in the shadows.

And I wait for this big Spanish

motherf***er to come moseyin'down.

As soon as he crossed my path, boom.

- I'm tired

- Flies on sh*t-

So tired

Around his neck so quick, then pushed him

over the f***ing guardrail.

The rope snaps tight.

His f***in' head pops off.

His body keeps plummeting downward,

and he falls...

neck hole first into the ground.

My point is...

Big Ed pissed me off just a little bit.

- You wanna keep it down so the lady can sing?

- You pissin'me off a lot.

Wait.

Hey, come on.

- I made a mistake, all right?

- Yeah, you made a mistake.

- See, my sh*t's live.

- Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

Where was I? I was tellin' a story here.

But I won't be sorry

If you won't be

And I don't want your pity

Or your sympathy

But with $

- I can make it

- Hi.

- Hi. How's he doin'?

- You wait and see

He's still asleep. He really hasn't moved.

What's, uh -What's all this?

I don't know.

Dr. Wyman ordered it.

Any change?

- Well, he says the numbers look good.

- Yeah?

I don't think it's good he keeps sleeping

like this. I don't think that's a good sign.

He's okay. He's gonna be all right.

He'll wake up soon.

I talked to, uh, Bob Winslow.

He's in Hawaii.

And he knows this - this Wyman fellow.

He says we're in good hands.

- He knows what's what.

- Good.

I'm gonna go get a cup of coffee.

- You stay with Casey.

- Okay.

Oh, God. Why won't he wake up?

It isn't as if

I was just anybody

On Broadway I danced

For that senator

They know me in London

And they know me in Paris

- Hmm.

- I'm only talking

'Cause you looked like

you needed a friend

Here. Gimme that. Gimme that.

I'll tie it around the wrist.

[Gordon]

Never thought I'd be doing anything like this.

- Yeah, me neither.

- [Vern] What's she feel like, Stuart?

- Oh, God.

- Feel her tits?

You know, I just realized...

there's probably a thousand guys in L.A.

Who'd be ballin' her right now.

[Gordon]

Will you shut up!

I'm just trying to lighten things up

a little bit, all right?

[Stuart] Yeah, let's get the hell out of here.

Come on. Tie that up.

[Vern] Man, if you'd have told me I was

fooling around with a dead body up here...

- I'd have told you you were full of sh*t.

- [Gordon] Yeah. Okay, let's go.

- Stop stealing.

- Bill, God. What'd ya sneak- Bill.

- I'm sorry.

- You scared me.

- You want to make up?

- Why did you sneak up on me?

- What time are your classes, huh?

- I'm ditching.

- [Chuckles]

- I wanna see you. It's true.

- You've got to go to class.

- Are you snoopin' around?

- All you're supposed to do is just feed the fish.

- Look at this one, though. Look at this one.

- Look it, that's a lionfish, honey.

- Oh, really?

- He is. Go on. You should go to classes.

- Okay.

- These are strange people, honey.

- I know.

- What's in here?

- Bill - Don't snoop, Bill.

- Don't snoop.

- Why not?

You respect their privacy.

Why not snoop around

with their "Hot Fudge" videos out?

- Their sick, dirty pornography.

- [Chuckles]

These people are creepy.

They're creepy.

Use an ashtray

when you smoke in here.

- That's a rule. That's a rule.

- Why? There's no -

- Oh, you brought my ashtray.

- Our ashtray.

See, on the list

it says it's good for the carpet.

- Oh, Bill.

- How long are these creeps gonna be out of town?

A month.

You know what?

- I think we should move in here.

- No.

- And really-Yeah.

- We can't do that.

It's the only respectful thing to do.

- Nah, that wouldn't be right.

- Why not?

'Cause that's not right, Bill.

- Okay.

- She's right.

- So, I'll see you around : okay?

- Yeah. I'll come home.

But you know we're gonna do

the right thing in their bed tonight, right?

Oh, uh - I don't know.

[Stuart]

Whoo-hoo.!

Hey, Vern.!

- Hey.!

- Look at here!

- How big?

- It's about three or four pounds.

I got it!

Hey! Didn't I tell ya?

It's Moby f***in' Dick here!

Look at this!

Come on, baby. Come on.!
