Sin City Page #5

There you go, lying about me again, right in front of my friends

I have never hit a woman in my life

You goddamn bastard. You goddamn coward

Baby, we're all here to have a good time

Got to take a leak

Wish you dropped by earlier, Jackie Boy. Then you could've met my boyfriend. Could've seen what a real man looks like

There you go. After my nuts again

But I forgive you. I'm a generous guy

He is generous. With temper of his, you never should've picked on him like you did

You don't have to. You don't have to worry about it

Shut up and keep your hands to yourself or I'll cut your little pecker off

I've been told

Hey, baby. I don't hear you making those calls

Answer me

Oh, I don't need this grief

Hi, I'm Shellie's new boyfriend and I'm out of my mind

You ever so much as talk to Shellie again, you even think her name, and I'll cut you in ways that'll make you useless to a woman

You're making a big mistake, man. A big mistake

Yeah? You already made a big mistake, yourself

You didn't flush

Troops. Get out of here. No questions, damnit, no questions. Now!

Dwight, what in the Devil did you do to him?

I just gave him a taste of his own medicine

I don't think he'll be bothering you again. How's your jaw?

I've been slapped around worse

Dwight? He was from awhile back

before you showed up again with that new face of yours

and... it was only because I felt sorry for him. It was only once

I've done some dumb things

Seeing as how I'm one of those dumb things, I can't give you too hard a time about that, Shellie

But this guy. He's a menace. He might kill somebody if I don't stop him

I'll call you later

No, don't go!

Shellie shouts something I can't quite make out over the racket of a passing police copter

It sounds like "Stop". But I can't be sure

It's a chance I shouldn't be taking. But I can't just go home and forget about it and let Jackie Boy and his pals have their fun

They're a pack of predators, and they're out for blood tonight

A woman's blood

Damnit, Dwight, damnit. You fool. You damn fool

I cut Caddy across the car to pick up Jackie Boy heading like a bat out of hell up the hill

I'm speeding

That's a good way to get yourself noticed

and if you're a murderer with a new face whose 1 fingerprint check away to the fast track to the gas chamber, like I am...

the last thing you want is to get noticed

I don't have nearly enough cash on me to bribe this cop

and even if I did, there's always the outside chance he's 1 of the honest ones

Do I try to talk my way out of this?

Or do I take this cop down and risk it all?

Then Jackie Boy saves me a great big streaming pile of trouble

Watch it Jack!

Cops. They're right on our ass

Not for long

Not where we're headed

My gut tightens up

Jackie Boy's leading us straight to Old Town

The cop shuts off his siren

He knows he's not the law. Not in Old Town

The ladies are the law here

Beautiful and merciless

If you got the cash and play by the rules, they'll make all your dreams come true

But if you cross them, you're a corpse

Hop in, sugar. We'll get you there

Aww, sweetheart. I work the dayshift, and it's been a long day. Besides, I don't do group jobs

Get in the car, baby. We'll just talk. It'll be nice

I don't do talk jobs, either

Baby doll, I've had me 1 hell of a bad day

I've been beat up every time I turn around

But then day when I get turned down by a hooker

When I got good hard earned cash to pay with

Well? There's only so much a man can take

Go try the Alamo over on Dillan Street. That's the Alamo, not the Amigo

The Amigo's a fag joint

Are you having a good time? Humiliating me like this for no damn reason at all?

That's far enough, Dwight

We've been on top of these peckerwoods since they first showed up with that cop behind them

Everything's under control. Enjoy the show

There's no use arguing with her

The ladies are their own enforcers

So how's the barmaid? You know, the one that never shuts up

Not right now, Gail

Oooh, wound up a little tight, aren't we?

That's your whole problem, Dwight

You worry too much

That and your lousy taste in women

These days, anyway

Damnit, Gail. Not right now

Those clowns, down the way. They some of the barmaids' boyfriends?

I followed them here to make sure he didn't hurt any of the girls

Us helpless, little girls

All kinds of death is about to hit less than 20 yards ahead of us

And still it's hard to take my eyes off her

Us girls are as safe as can be, Lancelot

Those boys in that Chrystler are 1 mistake away

from seeing what Miho can do

And she's been aching for some practice

She guards my glance upward to the pixie perched on the roofs edge

Deadly Little Miho

You're running out of valley, cowboy

Turn around. Safe yourself and your buddies a ton of grief

You're a sassy little thing

You ain't hardly in any kind of position to be making threats

The trap is set. Locked and ready to spring

So what? They're scum. They deserve what's coming

So why this rotten feeling in my gut that something is awfully wrong?

They haven't killed anybody I don't know about

They got pretty bad at Shellie's place

but they didn't kill anybody

And they won't

Why this rotten feeling?

Something Shellie said

I can't place it

OK, OK, OK, I sounded off a little more than I should've

I'm a little edge

Over the edge

It's not a woman you need, it's a good night sleep

You couldn't handle a woman in the state you're in

She saying you don't got what it takes, Jack

You want to see it?

You want to see what I got? Huh?

I've seen all shapes, all sizes

Have you seen this one?

Get in the car

Oh, sugar. You just gone and done the dumbest thing in your whole life

Oh, God, no

This is crazy

I don't know where... for no reason at all

Go ahead... go ahead

He's got the drop on her

He's got squat

He's dead, he's just too dumb to know it

I got you... right where I want you

This is a carreer ending wound for...

There's going to be hell to pay

Watch your step, Jackie Boy

Yeesh

This isn't funny

Don't anyone laugh. I got friends you can't imagine

Everyone in here is going to (???)

Hang it up, she's just playing with you

You're only making it worse

You shut the hell up

Don't pull the trigger, she blocked the barrell. It'll backfire

I told you to shut up

Can't see

I can't see

I can't hear anything

For God sake, Miho, finish him

Yeah

Make it quick, will you

She doesn't quite chop his head off

She makes a Pez Dispenser out of him

Then it's straight to business

stretching the corpses on the alley floor and checking their pockets

digging up cash when they find it

I'm fishing around in Jackie Boy's pants. His wallet is packed

Master Card, Discover, Platinum American Express

And nearly 300 bucks worth of 20s that I'm not too proud to stuff into my own pockets

Then I find an atom bomb

Jackie Boy. You son of a b*tch

There was a helicopter that kicked up such a racket I couldn't quite make out what she said

I thought Shellie said "Stop"
