Suicide Kings Page #7

On second thought,

the fireplace.

Yeah ?

It's cozy. Also,

i want to be near Brett.

All right.

Come...

In front of the fire.

Hi, Brett.

What's up ?

What-- get--

get off of him !

Jesus !

You sound pretty desperate.

I need to find a way to get

in touch with these a**holes.

Marty, i don't answer questions.

I'd never ask normally,

but maybe one of your girls

knows something.

I mean, if i don't, i--

it's not gonna be good.

I think he might die.

I mean, well--

i've been with Charlie

for 20 Years.

I can't let anything

happen to him.

I owe him.

I do too.

I was a kid when i met him.

It was the '70s.

We were high all the time.

-When i met Charlie, i was with

this scumbag, nick the nose.

- Oh, you're beautiful !

What a jerk. I was f***ing nick

up, down and sideways for--

I don't know-- three years,

and he couldn't tell you

what color my eyes were.

When i walked in, the first

thing he noticed were these

shoes i just got...

-From bergdorf's with 500 Bucks

that should've gone to him.

- Come here.

Come here. Come on.

Still look brand new.

Tell you what.

When we finish up here--

gonna take you

for a little ride...

He was gonna kill me.

- To bergdorf's.

No doubt about it.

- I go right past there.

Drop her off.

I don't think so.

I knew right then and there

three years with this guy

meant nothing.

Then Charlie waltzes in

like a white knight.

But nick isn't

letting me off that easy.

He wants his pound of flesh.

I can't help noticing.

That's a hell of a ring.

Yeah.

It's nice.

-Charlie saved my life.

He traded his ring for me.

- I noticed you noticing.

Nicky... Look at that.

It's for you.

No, i couldn't--

no, it's a gift.

Used to lift her face

and tell her

- And the next day, i got

a package from bergdorf's.

- From bergdorf's.

So, whatever happened...

-To nick the nose ?

-Well, Charlie

got his ring back.

Nick.

Hey, Charlie,

what the f*** do you--

He didn't drop

no amp before

But i don't play

'round him anymore

If i get to heaven

i'll look for grandma

If i had to look...

I'd start here.

Yeah.

I think i got an idea

how we might get ahold

of these a**holes.

They're laundering the money

through barrio bennie.

Okay.

Don't touch these f***in'

buttons ! what did i tell you ?

Sorry. Sorry.

- Charlie likes the car set

a certain way.

- Want me to fix it ?

No, i'll fix it. Keep your

f***in' hands to yourself.

All right. Sorry.

Sorry.

Hey, hey, big time.

How ya doin' ?

Good.

Good.

Listen, uh...

There's been

a new wrinkle.

What ?

First you gotta promise me--

promise me--

That you're not

gonna tell anybody.

What are you talkin' about ?

Just promise me first.

F*** off, Ira.

Okay, good enough.

Um, listen...

Charlie--

Charlie has reason

to believe...

That, uh...

There could be a...

Inside player...

On the kidnapping.

He told you that ?

Indirectly.

Yes. Yes.

Impossible. No.

Well, this isn't--

I mean, when i have

somethin' solid,

i'll get back to ya.

You know ? Huh ?

You do that, Ira.

I mean, come on.

It's me.

We're down, man.

Yeah.

You wouldn't mind

cuttin' that with

a little club soda, huh ?

Didn't think so.

I do appreciate you

taking your shoes off,

though.

Not a problem.

Very cool.

Take care.

What is he doin' here ?

F***in' mutt and jeff.

Hey, lono, if you're

gonna get up there...

You oughta

take somethin' off !

This guy-- i can't believe it.

Jesus Christ.

Hey, boys,

what can i do for you ?

- You kidnapped Charlie,

you f*** !

F*** !

Oh, ho, Jesus !

Where the f*** are they,

cocksucker ?

All i got is

a phone number !

-Come here !

- f***.

Where is it ?

Where is--

-Where is this motherfuck--

- you ain't foolin', lono.

It's in my wallet !

Look at this f***in'

graphite piece of sh*t.

What did i say, huh ?

F***in'-- i'm goin' back

to steel.

I'm addin' strokes to my game.

F***in' cost me twice as much.

Graphite golf clubs,

plastic tips-- what the f***.

Hello.

Marty.

Got a number for ya.

Turn on channel 3.

My show's about to start.

I'm in the middle

of watching something.

Three in a row you're watching.

Come on. Turn it.

Yeah.

I represent a party interested

in paying for the girl.

Yeah ?

Elise chasten.

Yeah.

I'll have

the two million.

No !

yeah, and i need two hours

and a location for the exchange.

All right. Good-bye.

Well ?

Wrong number.

I'm breakin' your balls,

buddy !

Can you say two...

Million... Dollars ?

Whoa, whoa, whoa !

It's happenin', isn't it ?

Two million dollars.

Yeah, baby !

Teek, can i ask you

a question ?

Yeah, sure.

What's up ?

You know, i was watchin'...

When you cut

Charlie's finger off.

Can't get that image

out of my mind.

They did the same thing

to elise.

You think they hurt her

when they did that ?

Don't do that.

Don't, man.

Don't do that

to yourself.

She's gonna be okay.

I know it.

Yeah.

Right.

Don't let your mind

f*** with ya.

That's all it is.

Yeah.

I know, it's just--

it's stupid.

Yeah.

It's pointless.

It's dumb.

Pointless.

Yeah.

Stop lookin'

at the boots.

I'm not--

i saw ya out of

the corner of my eye.

I saw you lookin' out of

the corner of your eye.

I like the boots.

I wouldn't spend $1,500.

You gotta be out of your mind.

It's not like snakeskin.

Snakeskin, you grab a gun,

You go in the desert,

you whack a f***in' snake.

You can kill a snake with

a f***in' stick. This guy

has to rent the boat,

He's gotta get the diving

equipment, he's gotta rent

one of those harpoon things...

That you shoot the fish with,

he's gotta gut it--

It's an expensive process.

I should've paid $5,000.

I got a great f***in' deal.

F***in' shame.

That's it.

I'm gonna drop you off.

This is like havin' my

mother-in-law in the car.

I think i'm done on this side.

Seen a guy in vegas, man.

Man, he could do some tricks.

- Jesus.

What, did you read it ?

- Yeah. Twice.

Guys, if i don't bleed

to death pretty soon,

i'm gonna die of boredom.

How about we

kill time instead ?

- I have a full boat.

That's a shame, Max.

You know, forgive me saying so,

But could it be,

this is not your night ?

-Heh ! yeah, tell me about it.

-You ever send a guy a newspaper

with a dead fish in it ?

- Shut the f*** up, man !

- ah, you got me mixed up with

something from the movies.

-People make that mistake.

It must be my classic profile.

- Ira, shuffle the cards right.

- I am.

- You said you were practicing.

- What difference does it make ?

We're playin' a game.

- Monkey-f***in' football.

Brett. Join us.

Take a chair.

- Pass.

- What's the matter, you might

enjoy yourself ? It's okay.

You're allowed.

I don't wanna play with you,

Charlie. Sorry.

- Rest of you fags wanna play,

go ahead. Have fun.

- Thanks, Brett, that's--

No fraternizing, eh ?

Oh, well. Have it yourway.

Okay, Brett's out.

Five-card draw.

Say, aces, deuces,

One-eyed jacks

and suicide kings are wild.

- Ira, that's the whole deck.

- So what ? It's my game,
