Straight Time Page #5

First there was Lumpy,

then it was Steve the bodybuilder...

...greased himself to death...

...then Raymond,

who sold us the lemon out front.

-Did I leave any out?

-Oh, will you cut it out?

So how'd you two lovebirds meet?

I met her at a 31 Flavors, of all places.

Yeah, he was 32.

Isn't she a peach?

Why don't we get Sherry

and we could all go out dancing later?

Oh, you mean Sherry,

that blond that threw up in the car...

...the last time we went out?

I know the kind of broad he wants.

A good-looking broad. Marlene.

-I'd really like a beer, if you have one.

-Sure, I got beer.

-Do you want everything on these burgers?

-Yeah.

Okay. Here.

Thanks.

-I'll be right back.

-Okay.

Thank you, honey.

Not bad.

Get me out of here.

They're killing me.

I can't make this scene any more.

Get me out of here.

You got something.

I know you got something.

Yeah, I got something.

Well, let's do it.

-Don't you wanna know what it is?

-I don't give a damn. Let's just do it.

What is it?

A bunch of old guys play poker

over in a motel in the Valley.

They got about $20,000 on the table.

We just tiptoe in,

tiptoe out, and it's all ours.

There ain't no cops

because they can't call.

-Great. You got the guns?

-Yeah.

-We need a shotgun.

-Here, honey.

I don't know what to play.

-You still playing that thing?

-I'm eating, for chrissake.

You can play later, but I'd prefer now.

Play that song where you yodel.

What's that ''Walking Stick'' thing

you used to play?

What ''Walking Stick''? You mean

''Hand Me Down My Walking Cane''?

''Walking Cane,'' yeah, play that.

Come on, we got cause to celebrate.

AIrighty.

Oh, sh*t, Max.

All right, Jerry. Take it easy.

We're all right. He'll be here.

Man, this is very unprofessional.

All I'm saying is you give the man

He'll be here. It's all right.

It's not all right, man. I've had it.

Get me out of here.

Is that him?

Is that him?

No. If it was him,

he would have stopped.

That's it. They're coming out.

It's over. Let's go.

We're still all right.

We still can do it, man.

It's over, man. Look at the people.

They're coming out, man.

I mean, I don't care if he shows up

with a 20 mm cannon. It's over.

F*** it.

Jesus. Will you wait a minute, man?

They'll see you.

We're all right. There's five

more guys in there. Let's do it.

I told you, I'm not taking that game

without a shotgun.

You can't cover a f***ing poker game

without a shotgun, all right?

The plan was to meet your friend here

with a shotgun...

...we go in and do the job

and we leave, all right?

Now, we've been sitting here all night

waiting for the guy with the shotgun...

...and you wanna take it

with your cap pistol...

...and I'm telling you

it's very un-f***ing-professional, all right?

-That's him.

-If that's him, tell him he's late.

-How you doing?

-What's to it, Manny?

Some really f***ing weird sh*t.

You know the bartender, the a**hole--

What do you got for me?

Go ahead.

I was just gonna--

I didn't come with nothing...

...because the bartender, I gave him

the key to my place to lock up--

So, what'd you bring me?

-I didn't bring you nothing. But I--

-Well, just tell me, why weren't you here?

-Well, will you let me explain, Max?

-Yeah, go ahead.

There's people up there.

They're gonna see you.

-Are you out of your mind?

-Sorry.

Come on, man. Calm down.

You made your point.

You were righteous, okay?

Cool it, man. Just cool it.

We f***ed the score off on--

Hey, hey!

We f***ed the score off

on account of you, you know that?

Will you just settle down?

Get in the car. Please.

You know, I counted on him.

He let me down. He was wrong.

-So get in the car.

-He was wrong. He let me down.

Hey, get in the car.

This ain't gonna make it, man. Okay?

You're wrong, Manny. You know that?

-You know that you're wrong, right?

-Come on, man. There's no money in this.

How's it feel

getting f***ed out of 20 grand?

It ain't no big thing.

I just wanna get you home.

Let's go. It's cold.

-I've gotta cool this dude down.

-He won't tell.

I'm gonna make sure so I can keep you

on the streets. Turn the key.

-I'm all right.

-You going home?

Tell me the truth. You going home?

You know what you're doing?

-I won't let you down next time.

-Turn your lights on.

Come on, baby.

Sh*t.

F***er.

Hi.

What happened? Where've you been?

I had to take care of some business.

What kind of business?

Why are you all dirty?

I broke through a wall.

Why?

I did something.

The place looks nice.

All right.

What made you finally decide to unpack?

How far you wanna take this?

I don't know.

I thought we were working

on something here, but maybe I'm wrong.

No. What do you think

I've been doing?

Guess I never really thought about it.

Want me to lie and say I work

on a hot-dog stand? I can't do a regular job.

I'm not gonna take your money.

Well, do you have

an alternative for me?

I'm doing what I do.

If you can't take it

and it's too heavy for you...

...well, then I'll just walk out the door.

I'll walk, but I don't want to.

Was this just a one-time thing, or what?

That depends on how lucky I get.

The thing I had going got screwed up,

so I did another thing.

I'm just trying to get myself together,

you know?

If I could just get a decent score,

just put one thing together...

...then we can kick back and maybe

we can get out of here. That's all.

So I guess what we're really saying here

is if I can handle it.

-That's right.

-I don't want you to go.

And I don't want to either.

It's just that this is so totally out of

my experience. You gotta understand.

I'll promise you that I won't hurt you,

and whatever I do doesn't involve you.

I keep it outside.

But maybe it'd be better

if you didn't ask me questions.

I'll stay with you as long as I can handle it,

but when I can't, I'm gonna go.

I know that.

Just be careful.

I want you to know that

what you're doing out there...

...it scares the sh*t out of me.

It scares me too.

Come here.

You come here.

-Can I give you something?

-What is it?

Something I found.

Come on, now. Don't be scared.

Don't be scared.

I can't help it.

Excuse me, sir,

would you look right over there, please?

All right, don't move.

Get up out of there.

Get the f*** out of there, man.

Get in there.

All right, listen to me! This is a robbery!

Everybody on the floor.

-Get down on the goddamn floor!

-Open the drawer.

All the way down.

All you tellers, down on the floor.

All the way down! Hey, get down!

Open the drawer. Open it up.

Get down before I start killing people!

Get your drawer open, honey.

Get your drawer open.

Stop looking at me!

Get down on the goddamn floor!

Thirty seconds.

Twenty seconds.

You in love with me?

Answer me! Are you in love with me?

Then stop looking at me, motherf***er,

or I'll blow your goddamn face off!

Time's up. Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go!

Let's hit it.

Let's go!

Get back!

Get back. Get down on the floor!
