The Bag Man Page #2

---

- Get out.

- He's crazy. He'll kill me.

Are you deaf? Get out!

They're out of their minds.

Him and that midget.

Move. Move.

Please, mister,

I can't go out there.

They're going to f***ing kill me.

Please.

What if I told them

what's under your bed?

What did you say?

What if I told them

what's under your bed?

Did you look in that bag?

No, I did not.

Bullshit! What do you want?

I just want to stay here

until they leave, okay?

Who do you work for?

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- You think I'm stupid?

(PHONE RINGING)

(EXHALES)

Hello?

Hold on a minute.

Get up. Go in the bathroom.

Okay. Look, I'm going.

Hello?

DRAGNA:
So you're still in room 13?

Listen, Dragna, I just wasted

two more of your guys.

- Why do you think they were my guys?

- Feds on the payroll maybe.

They were the only wine

connoisseurs within 100 miles

and what were they doing up my ass?

Seems like you should be on Prozac.

No, I don't need Prozac.

Or AndroGel.

I need my goddamn money.

I need my goddamn

money right now.

I need what you owe me.

(HANGS UP)

Hello?

(URINATING)

You could knock, you know?

Thank you.

(TOILET FLUSHING)

(BATHROOM DOOR OPENING)

(SIGHS)

Could I have a shot of that?

No.

So what are you going to do?

About what?

Sounds like you're in trouble.

Maybe I can help.

Go sit down over there.

Well, anyway, I just want to thank

you for letting me stay here.

Hey. I'm not doing you

any favors, okay?

You're staying in here 'cause you

put your nose in my business

where it does not belong.

And now I don't want you leaving

until I leave this place.

Do you understand?

What the f*** were you

doing coming in here

looking through my sh*t anyway?

I didn't come in here to

look through your sh*t.

Well, what were you

doing in here, then?

I told you.

He was going to kill me.

Well, that's not my problem.

I know it's my problem. I'm sorry.

To be truthful, I did look

inside your briefcase.

What the f***?

There was only an envelope.

Okay.

Get it out! Show me!

Did you look inside this bag?

No, I told you already.

- Did you look inside this bag?

- No.

Why the f*** should I believe you?

(GROANS SOFTLY)

Are you all right?

I can help you if you want.

LIZARD:
Get out, b*tch!

Bring your ass out here!

You f***ing skank!

Where are you?

I'm not playing these

games with you.

(GROANS SOFTLY)

- What happened?

- I got shot.

- In the hand?

- Yeah.

Why?

Because I'm lucky like that.

Did they miss your heart

or they couldn't find it?

A little trick I learned

on the streets.

What street?

Take a deep breath.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

(GROANING)

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

You must be great at

f***ing parties, huh?

(LAUGHS)

There's no sign of her.

This is bullshit!

I don't know what crazy

sh*t she gonna pull next.

I got solutions.

Cruel and permanent ones.

Don't always think

about with your dick.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

I think that's them.

You think?

I'm looking for a girl. A tall girl.

You seen a girl around here?

No, I didn't see anybody.

About 6-foot walking around looking

like Wonder Woman, and sh*t.

You sure you haven't seen her?

I just told you.

I didn't see anybody.

You couldn't miss her.

She's so tall.

Legs so long they go up and

make an ass of themselves.

But you wouldn't know nothin'

about that, would you?

No, I wouldn't.

No, you wouldn't?

No.

Hmm.

Yo, that slut ain't anywhere.

LIZARD:
Hold up.

Let me ask you a question.

If you could f*** one woman

in history, who would it be?

Hmm?

I'd f*** Eve and I'd

make Adam watch.

Flip his b*tch over, f*** her in the

ass right in the Garden of Eden.

What's the matter?

You don't like no p*ssy from the Bible?

Come on, man.

So now what?

Now what, what?

What do we do now? What's our plan?

Our plan? What the f***

are you talking about?

Maybe I should just grab my bag.

I told you. You ain't going nowhere.

Just sit down and be quiet.

In here or the bathroom?

Whatever you want.

I don't care.

How'd you get, I don't know, involved

with those two circus freaks?

I met Lizard in a strip bar.

Which one's Lizard?

The one with the eye patch.

Oh. Are you a stripper?

No.

Well, not anymore. I stopped.

It was just like, a part-time job.

What are you now?

A schoolteacher, a superhero?

You mean for work? Because I'm

kind of between jobs right now.

Of course you are.

Yeah. I'm trying to

find my true passion.

How old are you?

- How old do you want me to be?

- I don't give a f***, sweetheart.

- Twenty.

- Bullshit!

All right, so how'd

you end up here?

I'm from Israel, originally.

I'm not asking for your entire life

history... What do you mean, "Israel"?

- You don't sound like you're from Israel.

- Yeah, but I like Israel.

But you're not from there.

Doesn't matter.

I like Israel.

I love Israel.

All right. Um...

Just do me a favor.

Tell me where you were

directly before you were here?

Florida.

And why here?

Because this is where the

motherf***er stopped.

Who's the Russian by the way?

That's Lizard's connection.

Connection for what?

Could I have a shot of that?

Sure.

Connection for what?

Can I have a glass, please?

(SIGHS)

Connection for what?

Crystal meth.

You're dealing?

I'm not dealing anything.

- Is that what you're on right now?

- I'm not on anything.

- You seem like you're on something.

- You seem like you're on something!

(PHONE RINGING)

Go in the bathroom.

Why can't I stay out here?

Because I want you in the bathroom.

Go in there and close the

door right now, please.

Lock the door.

(DOOR CLOSES) Hello?

Where are you?

Where do you think I am,

Harvey? You called me.

- Room 13?

- Yeah.

Room 13.

Do you want me to ask you

what he asked me to ask you?

Yes. I want you to ask me

what he asked you to ask me.

You have a Kindle or an iPad?

No, I don't have a

Kindle or an iPad.

Have you read Hermann Hesse?

Who's Hermann Hesse?

I'm not a library, Jack.

When is he coming here?

When he shows.

Just tell me when the f***

he's going to be here, man!

When he shows for crying out loud!

Get out here.

It would have been easy if I

had just stayed out here.

Okay, things have changed,

and you're free to go.

I won't go very far

with those two outside.

Yeah.

Okay.

Here's what I'm going to do.

I'm going to take you to a bus station,

I'm gonna give you some money,

I'm gonna put you on a bus, all right?

- When?

- Right now.

Why?

What do you mean, "Why?"

You want to go or not?

Not.

You don't want to get out of here?

You don't want to go home?

I have no reason to.

Well, tough sh*t.

You got to go.

Why do you want me to go?

Don't ask stupid questions.

Okay.

So, is Dragna coming

to pick up the bag?

Hey!

You don't mention his name.

All right?

You don't even think his f***ing name!

Forget you know anything about this sh*t.

Do you understand?

How can I forget something

I already know?

Listen, I'm going to drive you to that

bus station, get you on that bus.
