The Last Detail Page #4

Goddamn...

I ask you, man.

Where else in the world can you get

a sandwich like this?

And for 50 cents!

I never ate anything so good.

I ain't shitting you.

I'm going to have to have

another one of these.

I'd like a little more onions.

- Little more? There's some.

- How about some of these?

You got it.

We got to figure out what to do.

And we will.

We will.

Only we're going to do it

over a bottle of Heineken's.

What's Heineken's?

The finest beer in the world, kid.

President Kennedy used to drink it.

Goddamned Dutch soup is about all...

Double up, there.

Want to get in this

or do you want to keep quiet?

All right, how'd you do?

Help me get Buddusky out.

He's betting with our travel money.

Hope this won't go in the toilet.

He's losing too.

All right, gentlemen.

It's you and me, one on one.

Easy money, eh?

What do you think?

Here's to you.

Cheers.

You want the honors?

You go ahead.

Don't worry about a thing.

I'm hustling this guy, understand?

I got him right where I want him.

Maybe he's hustling you.

Maybe he is, but this isn't the time

to argue about it...

...because if I don't win,

we don't leave New York.

Fourteen years.

Fourteen motherfucking years.

This'll make him go crazy.

The man is going to hustle me,

with glasses.

Fifty-four...

...sixty-one...

...sixty-three dollars.

That's $21...

...apiece.

Apiece?

Sure, we're partners, ain't we?

Yeah, Bad Ass.

Then take your f***ing 21 bucks and

don't give me such a hard time.

For you, back here.

Right here.

Bravo, Yankee. Bravo, Yankee.

You're damn right.

"Dead man," in Russian.

That was damn good, kid.

You ought to put in for signalman.

What's that?

I don't know. I hear it too.

What the hell is an "Indiana dog"?

Goddamn, that's the goddamnedest thing

I ever heard!

- What is that?

- Hey, let's go take a look.

I mean, what the hell?

Eight years and a D. D.

What are we going to do?

Take off your shoes.

Must be one of them Jap joints

where we got to take off our shoes.

What are they saying?

Hold it down.

I think we're in a church.

Good evening.

Good evening!

Welcome to Nichiren Shoshu meeting.

Tonight throughout the city there

are hundreds of meetings like this.

Where people learn about

Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and Gohonzon.

What's a Gohonzon?

I'll tell you about it later.

We're going to do that

through the experiences we've had.

Who's had an experience?

Good evening!

When I first started chanting...

...I wanted to find a girl

that I could relate to...

She took me to a meeting like this.

I remember thinking,

"These people are out of their minds!"

But later we went to her apartment,

and I tried her Gohonzon.

Come on, what's a Gohonzon?

I'll tell you later.

And now I really love the clarinet...

...and I can't remember why

I wanted a flute in the first place.

There's a sun

shining in your heart

There's a song

waiting to be sung

There's a dream

longing to be free

In your life

happiness you'll see

Bring it out

Your shining light

You can change this world

of trouble and strife

Why does all of this

make me feel so f***ing bad?

Bring it out now

Bring it out now

Bring it out now,

hey!

A bunch of candy-asses.

Ever hear such happy horseshit?

That one guy was a big homo, huh?

Yeah, but you guys,

he sure was a happy homo.

If you're going to chant, let's figure

out what you're going to chant for.

How about I get sprung from Portsmouth?

Let's see if it works.

Then you can chant

for something really big.

Yeah, like how's about

the three of us get laid, huh?

Should you chant

for something like that?

Why the f*** not?

Well, it's a religion!

You're too good to believe!

"Yodeling in the canyon."

Ever heard of it?

You ever done that before?

Not exactly, no.

Are they really doing that

when they take that picture?

Well, kid, there's more things in this

life than you can possibly imagine.

I knew a whore once in Wilmington.

She had a...

...glass eye.

She used to take it out

and wink people off for a dollar.

Really?

There's still some room for your rank.

You want it?

No, I don't think so.

Yeah, come on, kid.

It's time you made your rate.

They busted me to E-1.

You know that.

Listen, right now

we're a navy of three.

Pick a rate. Any rate.

I can make you anything I want to

because I'm the honcho.

What'll it be?

Chief Signalman?

Okay, partner.

L. Meadows, S. M. C.

Show me some moves, kid!

Look, he don't know what to do.

He don't know!

He looks like a

goddamn big penguin, don't he?

Watch out for children!

- Hey, look...

- Cruise right through them!

Give them the spinner, kid!

He sure is having a good time.

Sure is. And you said

it wasn't in him.

All right.

Watch out for the Indian, kid!

Don't crush somebody.

Look at the size of this guy

on roller skates.

I was wondering if we're done.

It worked!

I chanted to stay on my feet and I did.

It worked.

Lighten up, will you, Meadows? Jesus!

You're chanting!

I'm a member of Nichiren Shoshu.

My name's Donna.

How do you do?

Hello.

What are you chanting for?

Go ahead, Meadows.

Tell her what you're chanting for.

A girl?

That's okay.

You can chant for anything.

- What's your name?

- Meadows.

- Your first name.

- Larry.

Why don't you come over

and meet some people?

Just for a minute.

Come on. We'll be right back.

If this guy gets p*ssy out of this,

I'm gonna eat my f***ing flat hat.

I'm going

to start chanting too.

Hey, you guys? Drop your socks and grab

your c*cks. We're going to a party.

This could be the big one,

eh, Meadows?

You just moved in?

Not too long ago. I think I

might move out again too.

- It's a problem, finding a place.

- This is a nice party.

Might as well be at a f***ing bus stop.

- Relax.

- I am relaxed.

Hey, I'm telling you, Mule,

we got it made.

All we got to do is get rid of

that creep there...

...and we got these three chicks

to ourselves.

We have, huh?

Yeah. Why not?

Because those three chicks would rather

f*** each other than us, that's why not.

There's nothing...

...like being on the sea...

...even in the Navy.

Being on the bridge...

...doing a man's job...

That's great.

Where you going?

I'm not putting down the government.

I just want him to tell me one thing.

There must be one thing

you don't like about Nixon.

You sure have a lot of records.

I get most of them free.

I work in the business.

What business?

- I smoked grass.

- Huh?

I smoked grass, Bad Ass.

I'm giving this girl such a line

of horseshit. It is unbelievable!

She loves it. She loves it!

Doing a man's job...

...talking to ships...

...across miles and miles...

...of liquid real estate.

Ooh, big time.

How come you don't

see more black officers?

Because you need a recommendation

from a white man, usually.

- How can you stay...

- Nothing Nixon says disturbs you?

Just tell me, is that right?

Henry, you're driving me crazy.

You guys on leave, or what?

"Liberty," you mean.
