Tell Page #6

I, uh, came alone like you said.

Smart man.

Let's see the green.

Oh.

And my DVDs?

Right here, Fellini.

Toss us the bag, then you can

take your dirty movies and go.

When I was a kid, I thought

I was gonna be somebody,

a model citizen raising a family in the suburbs.

That never happened.

But there is a point when you find yourself

in a moment, and realize

the decisions you made were wrong,

and they led you to a different kind of life.

I should've settled down.

Got a nine-to-five.

Bought a house with a porch.

Taken my kid to Pee-Wee football on the weekends,

and enjoyed the happiness of not being shot at.

F***.

I should've been a doctor...

An accountant...

A goddamn coal miner.

Should've been anything but this.

Oh, sh*t, Ray.

F***. Just keep pressure on it.

It's... It's just a little

flesh wound, right?

Yeah, just a scratch.

Come on...

Let's go, we gotta go.

Let's get the f*** out of here.

- We gotta go.

- Ah.

Okay, keep that on.

Come on.

- Okay.

- Hey, guys?

Has the shooting stopped?

Is it safe to come out now?

We would've come out sooner, but...

Oh, f***.

I don't know, I was scared.

It sounded dangerous.

Oh, come on, what the f***, guys?

Put that pea shooter on the ground.

On your knees now.

Sh*t.

Oh, ho-ho, talk about your textbook crime scene.

I mean, we got the murder victim, we got the murderer.

This guy tried to kill us, all right?

- I shot in self-defense.

- We say different.

You got about two minutes until our backup shows up

unless you tell us where the money is.

This entire messy crime scene goes away, okay?

You get to go free.

I shot in self-defense.

Ray saw the whole thing.

F*** you, he'll testify.

That's right, baby.

I'll swear to tell the whole truth

and nothing but the goddamn truth.

F***.

F***, he's right.

He is.

They sure as hell got us now.

Oh!

What the f***?

F***!

Ray?

- You saw that, he was coming at me.

- Oh, yeah.

I was scared.

- Son of a b*tch...

- Oww!

In case you haven't realized it,

we're done screwing around with you, smart guy.

I warned you not to piss me off.

I got the money!

Look at this!

It's the f***ing money!

- What do you mean you got the money?

- Look.

What f***ing money is that?

It's money.

Well, then we don't need this guy no more.

No, no, no, that's not the bank money!

That's not the bank money!

What do you mean it's not the bank money?

There's more, there's so much more.

There's so much more money.

That's not the bank money, please.

Where's it at?

Where is it?

- Jefferson.

- I told you!

I told you it was at the Jefferson.

Come on, come on, come on.

All right, smart guy,

get up. Let's go.

This is exactly a half a million dollars.

No sh*t!

Son of a b*tch.

Are there any marks?

No, looks like it's clean.

50-50, right?

- 70-30.

- No, no. No, no.

50-50, that's the bank money.

This is other money.

No, kiddo, 70-30, that's our split.

In six months, I'm headed to retirement.

Trust me, 20 years from now,

you won't remember any of this stuff.

You tell her the same thing the second time.

Which way?

Service stairs, down two floors.

Come on, let's go.

Where?

It's jammed inside the panel

in back of the third machine!

You climbed back there with a bullet in your gut?

You're going!

You're going with him!

You gotta help me pull it off!

Well?

He's looking for it!

What?

He's got the bag!

It's okay. I'm a cop!

It's all right, I do this for a living!

It's all right, go backwards.

Stay in your car.

Don't get out of your...

I told you I was a bad-ass.

Whoa! Half of the bank money.

There's 500,000 in there.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

I knew you f***ing had it.

I knew you had it all along.

- Okay.

- Yeah. We're a hell of a team.

Yeah, but there is an "I" in

"let's get the f*** out of here".

Let's go, come on.

Let's go!

First thing I'm gonna do is buy me a car

I can fit my fat ass in!

Jesus, Tell. What happened?

Ray didn't come home last night.

The whole thing went wrong.

We thought the guy was gonna roll over and...

but he had a gun.

He shot Ray?

They all shot Ray.

And the money?

Wow.

Wow.

Took you less than 30 seconds to ask about the money.

The whole point of this was the money, wasn't it?

Meaning what? That... That

as long as I got the money,

it doesn't matter that Ray's dead?

Don't you make me the bad guy.

Don't you do that to me!

You guys were the idiots who

were blackmailing him, not me!

That's all you ever have been, is about the money.

Where is this coming from?

You lied to me about William,

and you don't care if I get hurt,

or if that little boy gets hurt,

as long as you get...

Your money.

I didn't lie about William.

He's not my kid!

F***, he's not even your kid, Aunt Beverly.

Who said that?

William.

He is my son.

He is our son.

So you're telling me he doesn't know who his mother is?

That's-- that's what you're saying?

That's exactly what I'm saying.

When I gave birth...

my cousin Margaret was with me,

and I didn't have a job or a place to go,

so she and her fiance offered to...

take him.

And I let them.

They are his parents as far as anyone knows.

She's his mom.

God, she's his mom...

and I'm just Aunt Beverly.

Aunt Beverly who lives in the bungalow out back.

Aunt Beverly who baby-sits all the time,

who can't stop kissing and hugging him.

That's why I needed the money...

so I could get my son back.

So we could be a family.

I'm so sorry.

Hey, Bev?

Yeah?

You think you could loan me a couple bucks?

What for?

If it's there, we'll find it.

F***ing morons.

You look beautiful.

What are you doing here?

Aren't you supposed to be holed up?

Yeah, I'm gonna get out of town for a while

till this thing blows over,

but, um, before I go, I have something for you.

What's this?

Um, you said if I had the money,

I could be a part of William's life.

That's the money.

I figured William should have Ray's end of the deal...

Considering what happened.

Are you serious?

This is mine?

This changes everything.

We can be together now.

You, me, William...

No, no, Bev, Bev.

It's William's.

It's not yours.

Come on, look at him.

Look at him.

It's one better than our

f***ed-up sh*t can give him.

You and me, we're broken.

We can't change that, money can't change that.

This gives him a chance.

He's a lucky kid.

He's got doting parents

and an aunt who would literally kill for him.

I'm gonna go.

65, 70.

One, two, three, four. Huh?

Thank you, father.

Hey, you did a fantastic job this week.

You earned it.

To me, it never really was about the money.

Thank you.

Life doesn't always work out the way you thought it would.

The decisions you make stick to you,

make you the person you are,

and make your life what it is.

But you know what the funny thing about life is?

Sometimes, sometimes...

it gives you a second chance.

Your eyes

They're gonna watch every move

They're gonna watch until everyone

Has turned around

Everyone has turned around, and I
