The Drop Page #2

want to take a walk?

They sound like anyone

who ever came in here before?

Nah. The guy closest to me,

I could see that his watch had stopped.

Officer Bernardo says you said they were

covered head to toe? Hoodies, masks?

Yeah, but I could see his wrist

as it was turning.

The face of the watch

was in front of me, like that.

- And it was stopped?

- Yeah. It said 6:15.

How much they take you for?

Well, whatever was in the register.

So, if I was to ask around,

I wouldn't hear anything about...

...anyone making book here,

or someone moving money around?

Excuse me?

- I wouldn't hear that?

- Nah.

- Do you have insurance, Rardy?

- What do you think?

No, we don't have insurance.

- The whole thing's a travesty.

- Yeah, he took a pretty bad hit.

Nah, I meant St. Dom's.

Yeah. Yeah.

Beautiful church. They did mass right.

No group hugs after the our father.

No folk singers.

By the time the seculars get done

persecuting the church...

...all we'll have left is a bunch of condos

with stained glass windows.

What's up with

the surveillance cameras in there?

They don't record.

They're just a deterrent for crime.

Why don't you take communion?

Excuse me?

I've seen you at mass for years.

You haven't taken communion once.

Well, you know, that's my business.

You think so, huh?

Yeah, I think so.

Jesus. I f***ing know so.

So was he gonna let you

wear his letter jacket...

...or did he have to twist your nipples

a few times first?

Why the f*** would you tell that cop

about the watch?

- I don't know.

- You don't know.

It just came out.

Well, next time, why don't you

nip that impulse in the bud?

What the f*** is wrong with you?

It was very unlike me, Marv.

They took us for

five thou and some change.

Five thousand?

Thank God they picked up the envelope,

so we're not on the hook for that.

So we're all right. We're okay.

No, they took us for

five large and some change.

It's their bar, it's their money.

They're going to want it back.

So we're not so f***ing okay.

Bob?

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- Kind of early for the eight.

- Yeah. I figured I could wait.

Well, come on in.

It's just a bowl and some food.

Thank you. Thank you.

- Good luck.

- Thank you.

You know, I've never owned a dog before...

...so, you know...

I have no idea what I'm doing. At all.

You'll need bowls.

A leash.

Poop bags.

And from now on,

keep your shoes up on a shelf.

Let me see if I can find the bed section.

What do you want?

This is the best book I know.

You should read it.

Everything is in here.

What are you naming him?

Well, I was thinking about maybe Rocco.

I like the name Rocco.

But then I thought Mike.

Mike?

- You don't like Mike?

- No. Mike is not a great name for a dog.

Rocco is better.

Okay.

So did they name you Nadia

after the gymnast?

- Yeah.

- So you're a gymnast?

No.

Here you go. See?

"Rocco". Hey, he likes it.

Yeah, I like Mike.

- You have him?

- Yeah.

Be patient.

Bye, thank you.

"Make sure the bottoms of the two

side panels rest inside the bottom."

Hey, Rocco?

I made you a safe place.

Bob?

Cold one, huh?

Who needs snow blower

when you have Bob?

Maybe you come to my house later.

Sure.

I'm kidding.

This guy.

You on the welfare?

Excuse me?

Bob does all the work. You watch.

No, I was shoveling.

- You're shoveling, all right.

- He was.

Come.

You know this guy?

No.

But I know this guy.

Moment I know him, I know him.

Somebody robbed my bar.

Yes. That's right. I'm sorry, Mr. Umarov.

Call my father Mr. Umarov.

Bob...

...call me Chovka, eh?

That's right, I'm sorry, Mr. Chovka,

somebody did rob your bar.

Who robbed our bar?

We don't know. They wore masks.

That's right. So we couldn't see.

Police report says

one wore a broken watch.

You tell them this?

Yeah, I did. I wasn't thinking.

It just came out.

So what are you doing

to get my father's money back?

Well, we put the word out.

- In the neighborhood.

- That's right.

They got the word out in the neighborhood.

So the word is out there, huh?

- The word.

- That's right.

With my money.

Find my f***ing money.

"Find my money."

If we knew where their money was,

it would mean we knew who robbed us.

Which would mean we were in on it,

which means they'd shoot us in the face.

F***ing Chechnyans.

Chechens, Marv.

They're from Chechnya,

but you call them Chechens.

Yeah, Chechnya.

I said that. You don't call people

from Ireland Irelandians, do you?

What the f*** are you talking about?

Yo, yo. What's the sunset

nightcap this evening?

- You bring your own cup?

- What, I just got out of the womb?

- Cheers.

- Salud.

So what up, Evandro?

You remember Marvin Stipler?

Cousin Marv?

He got pushed off his own book,

nine, ten years ago, by the Chechens.

His bar got held up. It's owned by

one of papa Umarov's shell companies.

What kind of dumb-ass

holds up one of his bars?

You got me.

Major crimes up on the Umarovs?

We barely survived the last budget cuts.

We're not sticking our heads up to go after

some Russian John Q barely knows exists.

Chechen.

You want him, he's all yours.

Hey, baby brother, you ready to eat?

- What?

- Are you ready to eat?

No.

I ate already.

- I ate already.

- When did you eat?

I ate.

Oh, no. Hey, hey, no.

Rocco, stay there. Stay.

Don't do it.

Don't do it. Don't jump.

Crikey Jesus.

That was close.

You gave me a heart attack.

- Where the f*** you been?

- Getting here.

- You got the money?

- No.

- What do you mean, no?

- I mean no 'cause f***ing Bri has it.

Bri has it.

- Did you tell your brother about me?

- No.

Why the f*** you hit Rardy so hard?

- I had to.

- You had to.

And I had to call an ambulance.

So there's an ambulance and cops.

What's with his watch?

People noticed it's broke. Tell him

to get a new one and get rid of that one.

Today.

What's the next step?

When do we hit a real drop bar?

Let's just assume I'm not some a**hole

without a plan, okay?

When an airplane goes down, what's

the safest airline to fly the next day?

The one that had the crash.

Right. There you go.

So we just wait.

I don't understand

a f***ing word you're saying.

It's like you're speaking Brazilian.

Just let me take care of it, okay?

Keep your head down.

It's not Brazilian.

Brazilians speak Portuguese.

Where you going?

I'm leaving.

Stay here.

We can't be seen together, genius.

- F*** you. How long?

- I don't know. Ten minutes!

Sit.

Sit. No, that's standing. Come here.

Go, go. Oh, man.

How you doing?

Good.

Sh*t. Rocco, come on!

Come. Good boy.

You didn't read the book, did you?

Some of it, yeah. No.

Not a lot.

I was thinking... now the holiday's over...

...I lost a shift at the restaurant.

I'm sorry.

So maybe you could hire me, you know?

Pay me to babysit Rocco

when you're working?

Hey, well, that's not such a bad idea.

I work a lot at the bar.

That would be very kind of you.

You have a number I can call?

Maybe call.

You want to arrange this properly?
