Staten Island Page #4

Synopsis: Picture, if you will, a young man waking up on a ship with no recollection of how he got there, or even to where he's traveling. This man is no stranger to the hangover. The black out. The bad trip. But this man is about to experience something he IS a stranger to, he will endure a crippling sense of déjà vu that will, like the worst typhoons or maelströms, show no sign of slackening. I urge you to enter this world and find out if it is indeed possible to Escape from Staten Island.

I was... I... Here...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I know, I know. I know, I know.

I got it. Let's go!

And she's gonna die?

- Come on, Sully! Let's go!

- She's gonna die!

Let's go! Now! Sh*t!

All right. All right.

Ah! F***!

I dropped my wallet.

I'll be right back.

Meet us at the car! Right now!

Okay, I'll be out there.

What the f***!

Oh, come on.

Oh, sh*t! Come on.

Oh, f*** me!

Oh, sh*t!

Come on!

There's been a shooting...

Oh, sh*t!

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Sully, man, you were right.

There's over $1 OO, OOO here!

Hello? Yeah. I called earlier

about an old woman?

Tarzo.

How is she doing?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, Mary.

Yeah, it's me.

No.

Something good

finally happened to us.

I got lucky.

I got lucky.

I hit the daily number.

Uh-huh.

I know, I... I... It just happened.

It just... It just...

I don't know about this, Sully.

I hope we don't make a mistake.

I hope we didn't waste the money.

No, no. This is the best money

we've ever spent.

It's for our baby's future, right?

It's for our baby.

Okay.

Okay?

Come on.

Bye.

Mary's on bed rest now,

but otherwise we're great.

Only two more months, Jas.

We're getting close.

And when he's born,

I'm gonna bring him in here,

and you can finally

meet 'em both.

What is it?

Let me see.

Let me see.

He's gonna cure cancer.

My boy is gonna cure cancer.

Excuse me.

Are you through?

I said, are you finished?

Um...

'Cause we've got business to do here.

Okay. Thanks, Jas.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Keep that, all right?

Thanks.

No, Eddie's gonna drive me

in his new Mustang.

Yeah.

No...

No, baby, don't move!

Don't move, I'll get it.

Just leave it there.

Yes. No problem.

All right, baby.

I'll see you soon.

I love you.

Listen, I'm gonna take a piss,

all right?

You know, turn that thing off

when it's done.

Yeah, yeah, wash your hands.

I don't want piss on the leather.

Please take... Hello, guys, guys!

This ain't a parking garage.

What the f*** are you doing?

Oh, we can't park here?

You thought we forgot

about you, huh?

Your friend started bragging

about his safe-cracking skills

to the wrong f***ing people,

wise guy!

Where's the other guy?

And more importantly,

where is the f***ing money?

Get him in the car, T.

T! Get him in the car.

Get him in there.

This f***er says the other one

went home already.

Get the f*** outta my seat, a**hole.

F***!

Sully. Hey, baby!

What's wrong, honey?

I did something.

I did something bad, baby.

What? Why are you crying?

You're scaring me.

What are you doing?

I have to leave.

I have to go.

What? Where are you going?

Oh, Mary.

I'm so sorry for what I did.

I'm so, so...

I thought it was the right thing!

What did you do?

You're scaring the sh*t outta me,

Sully.

L... I...

I stole the money so our child

wouldn't be like me, all right?

What?

What are you talking about?

For the procedure.

I didn't hit the number!

I stole the money

from a f***ing mob boss!

And they found out it's me!

- And they are coming after me!

- I don't understand.

You stole the money

from a mob boss?

I stole the goddamn money,

because I am stupid!

I'm so f***ing stupid!

Stop. Tell me this isn't happening.

- And now I have to leave you.

- Tell me you're lying to me.

- I have to leave you. No, no!

- Tell me this isn't true.

- Or they're gonna kill me, all right?

- Oh, God.

- I have to leave you now.

- No, this isn't happening.

- I can't breathe, Sully.

- Mary, my dear wife, I love you.

I love you so much it hurts,

all right?

It hurts like a knife in the heart,

all right?

But I have to go.

No, you can't leave me!

You can't.

Sully, there has to be another way.

I mean, you're my husband.

You're my love.

We can talk to them,

and they'll understand.

- They won't.

- They'll understand.

They won't understand.

You have to tell them

that I left you.

- No.

- Yes!

No. I'm coming with you.

- I'm coming with you!

- No! You can't!

- I'm coming with you!

- No!

- You have to stay here!

- We said we'll never be apart.

I know! Just for a little while,

just for a little while.

All right? The baby, no,

you'll lose him.

All right? No! No! All right?

You tell them that I left you,

that I got some money,

and I left you,

you don't know where I am.

I left you pregnant.

They won't hurt you.

They'll just watch you,

and after a while

they're gonna forget.

They're gonna forget,

and then you'll have the baby,

and then you can come be with me,

and everything will be fine.

Everything will be exactly

the way it's supposed to be.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

- No!

- Oh, Mary!

- We had everything, Sully.

- Why did you need more?

- Ah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Sully!

Sully!

That's 43,OOO if you hit,

Jasper.

$43,OOO if you hit, Jasper.

Good luck, Jasper.

Hm?

Good luck, Jasper.

I hope tonight's your night.

Post time 30 seconds.

Mr. Tarzo,

can I get you something nice?

You know, we didn't come here

for your f***ing sandwiches, okay?

Get your friend in the back,

and go to work.

Good luck, Jasper.

That'll pay $47,OOO if it hits.

$47,OOO if it hits.

For 20 years this deaf bastard's

been coming in here every night

and laying down a single trifecta bet.

Never hit.

Until now.

Oh, yeah?

- It's f***ing crazy!

- Ha!

Wow!

Good for you, Jasper.

You deserve it.

What are you gonna do

with all this money?

What are you gonna buy?

What are you going to buy?

What are you going to buy?

You still haven't spent a dime?

Jas!

I would have spent it all by now!

What are you doing?

"I have no use for it. "

Oh, wow!

Take a trip or something,

get away a bit!

Not I... No! No, no.

Mary's on bed rest.

Otherwise she's great, she's great.

Only two more months.

We're getting close.

And after he's born, Jas,

I'm gonna walk him in here

so you can finally meet 'em both.

Cure cancer.

My boy is going to cure cancer!

Excuse me.

Are you through?

Take care, Jas.
