Sonny Page #5

---

to marry him again.

Hey there, old timer.

How are you doing, sweetheart?

Don't you "sweetheart" me, Henry Wade.

You ain't getting off that easy this year.

-What are you talking about?

-You know what I'm talking about.

Tomorrow's my birthday...

and you promised

you'll take me to Antoine's.

Ain't been there since my glory days,

and I want to go this year.

God, I'm sorry, honey. I plum forgot.

-Could we just do it next year?

-F*** that.

I ain't made no money in a while.

Besides that,

I hate them goddamn stuck-up places.

What about them three cameras

you got out of that car yesterday?

Them was cheap cameras, Jewel.

Albert gave me enough for my room rent

and to buy a little something to drink.

You could take me out...

if you didn't spend your money

guzzling whiskey and gambling.

The only thing you're good at is losing.

You hold on, woman!

We've been through all this before.

I don't say nothing about

your ass getting fatter every minute.

You leave my ass out of this!

You don't say nothing

about my drinking or the gambling!

You promised we'd eat there

and I want to go!

So, you get out there right now,

this minute, and steal something.

-It's gonna rain, Jewel.

-I don't give a sh*t about rain.

I wanna go out on my birthday,

and you're gonna take me.

Can you talk some sense into her?

No, I ain't about get into the middle of this.

What are you waiting for?

Move!

All right.

If I take you to a restaurant...

will you come and stay the night

in my room?

Not in front of my boy.

Not in front of your boy?

He's a grown man, for God's sake.

Besides that, you've had him out

selling cock since he was 1 2.

It ain't like we haven't known each other.

I'll think about it.

But you gotta take me eating first.

All right, but remember, you promised.

-See you, Sonny.

-See you later, ranger.

Why don't you just give him some p*ssy?

Is that any way to talk

to your poor old Mama?

Burn, baby, burn.

Here's to Jewel Anne Phillips.

The finest little lady

in the state of Louisiana.

You're gonna make me cry.

Been a long time for us, ain't it?

Nearly 30 years...

if you count that little bit of time

we was together...

when you was in the Army.

That long?

Don't you think we ought to tell him?

No, absolutely not.

And, if you ever do,

you'll never see me again.

I promise you.

You know you got the prettiest p*ssy.

Excuse me, madam, but you have

to keep your shoes on in the restaurant.

I always take my shoes off when I'm eating.

I've done that since I was a little girl.

I'm sorry, but you're in violation

of the State Health Codes.

If you won't put your shoes on,

I'll have to ask you to leave.

But the state ain't gonna know

I took my shoes off.

I'm sorry, madam...

but if you're trying to accustom yourself

to eating indoors...

using silverware and plates...

then you're going to have to learn

to wear shoes.

Very well, then. I'll get your coat.

You listen to me, mister.

We ain't very sophisticated.

We don't come in these places very often.

But you just insulted my woman,

in front of me, on her birthday.

You're gonna trot back out there,

and you're gonna apologize to her.

If you don't, or if you call the f***ing cops...

or your bouncer has us thrown out of here...

then I'm gonna be forced to stick a knife

in your gut...

on your way home from work.

Am I coming through?

Of course, Mr. Wade, whatever you say, sir.

And the shoes stay right where they are.

Remember, your health is in the balance.

Ma'am, I'm sorry.

Sonny, I was beginning to think

you weren't coming.

This must be Carol.

Sonny's told me about you.

Welcome to the party.

Let me show you around.

I want you to meet Scott.

I know he's here somewhere.

-You really have a very nice home.

-Oh, yes.

We just had it redecorated last year.

You should've seen it before.

It was really getting to be a mess.

There he is.

I want you to meet Sonny and Carol.

This is the couple I was telling you about.

-You real nice.

-Scott, must you be so vulgar?

They've only just arrived

and already you're leering.

-Sorry.

-It's quite all right.

We'll have plenty of time to get acquainted.

Come on, Sonny, let me show you around.

I'll see you next weekend.

-Thank you.

-Good night, Catherine.

Nice party.

Yes, a necessary evil.

Did you enjoy yourself?

It was great.

I don't know what happens next.

You wanna get serious, or what?

Sonny, please.

What do you want?

I didn't mean to....

I mean....

I don't know what I mean.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna f*** your brains out, lady.

I'm sorry. It's the beast in me.

That feel good, Daddy?

That's it. Give it to me, baby.

-Like that?

-Oh, yes!

Faster!

Gee whiz! That's it, baby!

That's it, baby!

-$500, right?

-That's the price, baby.

We'll find our own way out.

Mommy!

Good night.

All right, come on. Let's run for it.

Come on!

That was a real winner we got in there.

"Gee whiz, baby.

"You're the best."

He wasn't like that!

Let's go for a drive.

-Yeah? Aren't you tired?

-No, are you?

-Not really.

-Let's go for a drive then.

-Where to?

-Anywhere.

The country.

Let's go for a ride in the country.

-ln the rain?

-Sure.

-At least there won't be much traffic.

-All right.

Come on.

You said you wanna

walk around in the mud.

I never said anything

about getting in with you.

I don't wanna walk alone.

I'll tell you what.

Walk around the car a few times, you'll

never notice I'm not walking with you.

Come on!

I ain't getting out there, when I know

it's gonna start raining again any second.

This is a $600 suit.

I'll compromise with you.

We can keep the windows down.

We can talk while you walk.

Do I make you happy?

Yeah, sure.

No, I mean really happy.

What's "happy"?

Why don't you tell me

what it is that makes me happy.

I'll tell you whether or not

you're giving it to me.

I love you.

Sh*t!

-Get under the tree.

-Here it comes.

Get under there.

Sonny, look.

-So?

-Let's go over there.

No, we'll get soaked.

I promise to keep you occupied

while our clothes dry.

God help me for being so weak.

All right.

We'll run for it. You ready?

All right, come on.

What's that sound?

I don't know. A cat maybe.

Look, she must've just had them.

Carol, dogs get born every day.

I know.

It's just....

F*** it.

Christ, Carol, it's just dogs.

It's not the dogs, is it?

Don't tease me, Sonny.

I'm human.

I'm just like any other woman.

Sometimes you act like a trick.

You think we don't have any feelings.

I didn't mean it.

Here, let me see that.

Don't touch me!

Carol, you're not even being practical.

What the hell

does practical have to do with it?

You tell me one thing that's practical

about our lives anyway.

That's exactly my point.

No, our point is that

I don't have the right to have a baby.

It's not practical for a whore

to do anything but lay down.

I don't want to do this all my life.

What the hell am I working for

if I can't have a future?

Carol, look at me.
