The Big Bounce Page #2

-I know. We're just swamped today. Sorry.

-You're a mermaid.

-Yeah, you ordered the Catch of the Day.

Yeah, yeah. We made the right choice.

-Flippers and all. Wow.

-Great.

-I'll turn you loose there in the kitchen.

-Okay.

Your flippers clean? Just the floors.

We had to give a cleaning deposit.

-Okay.

-They look all right.

-That little shimmering stuff looks good.

-Thanks.

-Give it to me. Give it to me.

-Hold it, hold it, get over here.

Give me my cut.

You're gonna be happy With this one.

-What is this?

-What's what?

-Dude, this is 200. You said we made six.

-Yeah, right.

Yeah, but 200 is your cut.

That's the going rate for hiding in the truck.

Come on, I'm 1 5 in the hole to Harris.

I wasn't hiding in the truck.

-I'm not a rich man.

-Jack, please.

-Thanks.

-Hold it.

Take the wallets and the box...

...go get rid of them behind

Kammie's Market, in the dumpsters.

Absolutely.

We should do this again soon.

You know, they got a video

of you batting Harris?

-ls that right?

-Yeah.

How did you happen to see it?

Well, if Harris hadn't dropped the charges,

the trial would've been in my court.

I'm the D.J. here.

District judge, among other things.

I'm glad you sat down. Let me ask you,

if they dropped the charges...

-...how come they're telling me to leave?

-Can't make you leave...

...unless they make something up.

There we are. Thank you.

What's this for?

Chamber of commerce, welcome wagon.

Now, for what it's worth, kid, I think

you're better off out from under Ray Ritchie.

-You're not a fan of Ray Ritchie's?

-Don't like the way he does things.

See, he's supposed to be in Chapter 1 1.

Any businessman knows, if you're bankrupt,

you can't afford to build that hotel.

Are you a businessman?

I got a little resort spot.

Surf camp.

I guess Ray's big, ugly hotel

Wouldn't be so great for your business.

No, not at all.

It's just the way he treats us locals.

You got a bunch of little cabins

over near the beach?

Keiki Vista? Sh*t.

-I've got 1 2 bungalows, my man.

-Bungalows?

Bungalows. Bedroom, kitchen, bath.

The whole works.

You wanna see a pretty girl?

She's practically undressing me

with her eyes there.

Do you know that guy she's sitting with?

Bob Jr.? He's Ray Ritchie's flunky.

His old man and I play dominoes together.

What's that girl's name?

Nancy-something.

She's Ray's assistant.

But that's a euphemism.

Kind of young to be a euphemism,

isn't she?

Word of warning.

She's been in my court a couple of times.

-This girl?

-Started young.

Looks so sWeet.

Yeah. One of those unfortunate girls

who's turned on by the criminal type.

Poor girl.

I wonder what she's doing

with Bob Jr.

Bob's old man, dumb-sh*t,

undersold all of his property to Ray Ritchie.

Don't look now,

but Dumbshit Jr.'s coming over.

-Bob.

-Are you trying to be cute?

Now, Junior, who can be cute

with you around?

-This is company business, Walter.

-Does he Work for you?

No. We paid him off,

and he agreed to leave.

You paid him off because you owed him.

Now he doesn't work for you anymore.

Right? Right.

So if he doesn't want to go anywhere,

he doesn't have to. Right? Right.

-Right.

-You letting him fight your battles for you?

Yeah. Seems to be doing a good job.

Right.

If I wasn't with someone I might just pick

your ass up and carry you out of here.

You might have to if Walter keeps buying

me beer. I'm all liquored up.

I'm just trying to keep my wits about me.

Look, Junior, I invited this guy

to have a beer, and we're not done.

We might have another one or 1 0 more. The

point is, you said what you came to say.

So now why don't you just leave.

I get the feeling we're gonna run

into each other again.

And one of us is gonna end up

looking like sh*t.

I got a head start on you

in that department. It's not fair.

Your Honor.

-Bob Jr. scare you?

-Yeah, he does.

Not as much as that girl, though.

Thank you, there.

Appreciate that.

-You gonna be hanging around here?

-I don't know yet.

Want to come to work at Keiki Vista?

I'll pay you $250.. No.

I'll pay you...

...$300 a week and give you a place to

stay that you can fix up. You think it over.

-Hey.

-Hey, yourself.

Hi, I'm Number 9.

I have a weird showerhead

that just keeps spraying everywhere.

-Think you can fix it?

-Sure.

I just wanna finish what I started here,

then I'll get on it.

-Thanks.

-Thanks, Number 9.

I want you to check the showerhead

in Number 9.

I just spoke with her.

So I guess I'm the plumber also.

And the cook and the lifeguard

before I'm through with you.

Does Ray Ritchie live around here?

You mean, does Nancy live around here?

That pimp starter castle up the beach.

Okay, call me when you get there.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

That's great.

Well, same to you.

Oh, really?

Yeah. I was just on the phone with him.

Yeah, he's kind of interesting

in sort of a limited way, for an off night.

Listen, I have to run.

My personal trainer just showed up.

Mahalo.

Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you

like that.

You are good at this B and E thing,

aren't you?

It's more trespassing at this point.

So should I call the police now,

or you gonna tie me up and loot the place?

Call the cops?

You go to this trouble to get me here,

and now you call the cops?

A word of advice.

If you're thinking of scamming Ray Ritchie,

think twice.

Who said anything about scamming?

I came to see if you wanted to surf.

-You, downstairs.

-Let me ask you...

-...why were you winking at me in the bar?

-I wasn't winking at you at the bar.

Like hell, you didn't.

-You get scared being here all alone?

-I'm never all alone.

So beautiful.

-This looks like a good one.

-No, not that one. It's too stimulating.

-Let's do something else.

-Like what?

Let's do something

that makes the sex better afterwards.

Sometimes sex makes the sex

better afterwards. I'm old-fashioned.

I don't know what you'd be interested in.

I'm the poor, unfortunate criminal type.

-Yeah, you look dangerous.

-Kind of an outlaw.

You know, I get into things

like stealing cars and....

You know how?

-Please. You wouldn't be interested in that..

-I'll make you a deal.

Why don't you show me how, and I'll

show you something, whatever you want.

Like how to make bail?

I'm starting to get a little nervous.

Is Ray a great boxer or something?

Take your shoes off.

Watch your head.

-Don't be scared.

-This is like a..

Are you serious?

You really want to box?

I win, you show me how to steal a car.

You win, I do Whatever you want.

-Put them up.

-Did you grow up on a Marine base?

Just don't use the

" I've never hit a girl" excuse.

I've never hit a girl.

Don't be hitting me on my head

When I'm not looking.

You've just awakened a sleeping giant.

-Tell me everything about yourself.

-No, you first. I need to work on my D.

Okay. I dropped out of high school,

took a trip to Hollywood...

...went broke, came home

and hostessed at a strip club.

Everybody hostesses. Nobody strips.
