He don't wear no hat,

and Lord he don't wear

no shoes

He don't wear no hat,

and Lord he don't wear

no shoes

He just hangs on the corner

singing old country blues

O, well, one bad stud

One bad stud

One bad stud

One bad stud

I said, one, one, one, one,

One bad stud

If he likes your baby,

you can kiss your baby goodbye

If he likes your baby,

you can kiss your baby goodbye

'Cause the girls

all love him like

a schoolboy loves his pie

He loves his whiskey,

he loves his rock 'n' rye

Yes, he loves his whiskey

he loves his rock 'n' rye

You know it takes ten bottles

to make that fool get high

O, well, one bad stud

One bad stud

One bad stud

One bad stud

You know,

you're making things

real hard on yourself.

You act nice, you and me

fall in love for a week

or two and then I let you go.

Nobody gets hurt.

You see,

I ain't such a bad guy.

I just get excited

around pretty girls.

O, well, one bad stud

One bad stud

One bad stud

One bad stud

I said, one, one, one, one

From now on either of you

make any mistakes,

I'm making you walk home.

Walk? I'm not gonna walk

around here, I'd get killed.

You got it.

What about you, McCoy?

Are we gonna do it

or are we gonna talk

about it?

You're right.

BILLY:
The main drag

is around here somewhere.

What the hell's that?

Guess you don't know

who I am, do you?

Things have gotten kind of

funny around here.

All kinds of strangers

coming around,

sneaking through the alleys.

What the hell we

talking to this creep for?

Let's get out of here.

My gosh, you're scared.

What's even funnier,

you're afraid of me.

I'm just trying

to get away from you.

We got some business here.

Oh, you're dumb,

and you're short. Real short.

(LAUGHING)

You're after that girl,

aren't you?

What makes you say that?

Come down a back alley,

10:
00 at night carrying

a bunch of guns,

I don't figure you're here

to give The Battery

a new coat of paint.

Where they keeping her?

Torchies, second floor.

Don't tell them

I told you, though.

Pay him.

Yeah, pay me.

I'm not gonna pay this jerk!

Listen, shithead,

you give him some

of your money,

or I'll give him

some of your money.

Don't call me "shithead."

Hey, you gotta

keep moving forward.

That's the whole point

of things, and I thank you

now, I appreciate it.

Why don't you buy some soap?

I don't need this guy

to tell me she's in Torchies.

I said they had her

at Torchies. I am a shithead.

Okay, Fish,

you get back to the car.

I want you in that doorway

over there in 15 minutes

and I mean 15 minutes.

Are you crazy?

They'll notice me

in a second down there.

Don't worry about that.

I'm gonna give them

a couple of other things

to worry about.

What about her?

I thought she's supposed

to do the driving?

Get moving!

And you better be ready

when we get there.

Do you trust him

or are you just desperate?

You take the front entrance.

I'm going topside.

If you can work your way

upstairs to help me out,

fine, if not I'll handle it!

Just what I always

wanted to do, Cody,

take on the Bombers.

Hey, baby!

I've been around the world

And every man bleeds the same

But when the lights are dim

You never know who's to blame

I don't want no scars to show

I don't want no one to know

So I'll be killing time

in the blue shadows

No other place for me to go

No other place for dying slow

So I'll be killing time

in the blue shadows

I've been around the world

I take credit

for the things I've done

But when the lights are dim

I'm not the only guilty one

I don't want no scars to show

I don't want no one to know

So I'll be killing time

in the blue shadows

Hey! How you doing, babe?

Come around here much?

Only when I wanna check out

some real action.

Well, you're talking

to the right guy.

Says who?

Says me.

I like a guy

that's got confidence.

All right.

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

No, that way's

the card game, huh?

We're going down here.

We got a party room.

Check it out, huh, baby?

This is the party room.

How you like it, huh?

I've had a lot of good times

here, so, let's party, huh?

Hey, killer. Can l

take my jacket off first?

Yeah, you can take off

whatever you want.

All right.

Now, listen to me, buddy.

There's just one thing

I want you to do,

and that is to keep quiet.

Hey, come on, babe,

what is this thing loaded?

We're gonna play

a little game. You Bombers

are gonna like it.

It's called "lights out."

No other place for me to go

No other place for dying slow

So I'll be killing

just killing time

So I'll be killing time

in the blue shadows

I've been around the world

I take credit

for the things I've done

But when the lights are dim

I'm not the only guilty one

Knock, knock.

I don't want no scars to show

I don't want no one to know

So I'll be killing time

in the blue shadows

(COCKING GUN)

Go ahead and take that money,

sweetie.

You better pray

you make it out

of The Battery.

I don't think

she's after the money.

You know poker's

a real interesting game

especially when you've got

all the best cards!

Next time it'll be right

in your nuts, pal.

You know what I mean?

Guys, it's been a slice.

Who are you?

McCoy. I'm a big fan.

Yeah, great,

come on, let's go.

MAN 1 :
Who is that guy?

MAN 2:
Look out,

it's surrounded!

MAN 3:
Get this guy

out of The Battery.

TOM:
Move it! Move it!

This way. Follow me!

Jesus, Ellen, am I glad

to see you. I thought you

were gone forever.

Cody, get in!

This ain't no time

for checking out the sights!

Take off! I'm gonna run

these guys for awhile.

I'm staying with you...

You're not going with him!

You stay in the car!

Stay with your boyfriend!

McCoy, meet me at

the Grant Street underpass.

Right.

If we don't see you,

Cody, have a nice life!

McCoy, can't you drive

this car any faster?

I don't want any Bombers

sneaking up on us!

Let's get our asses

out of here real quick!

And where's this

Grant Street anyway?

I never heard of it before!

You sure you know

where you're going?

Turn it off, Fish!

You sound pathetic!

Well.

Looks like I finally

ran into someone that likes

to play as rough as I do.

Yeah, this must be

your lucky night.

I'm lucky? I guess maybe I am.

And you're dumb. Real dumb,

if you think you can

pull this off.

I think you're forgetting

something. I got the gun.

I can get guns, smart guy.

Lots of them. Now why

don't you tell me your name.

Tom Cody. Pleased to meet you.

I'll be coming for her,

and I'll be coming

for you too.

Sure, you will,

and I'll be waiting.

Listen, I say we give it

a couple of minutes

then get out of here, okay?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about

saving our ass. We got

a lot to live for, Ellen.

He came and he got me!

I'm not going back

without him.

Don't worry about him.

He's getting paid a lot

of money to look after Raven.

What money?

What do you think

he's doing this for love?

You think he's doing this

'cause he's your biggest fan?
