The Package
Okay, now...
now it's time for some bowling.
All right.
Come on. You know what?
If you're not gonna take this seriously
and hit down the pin, just sit down
and let the real bowlers bowl.
You know what it is?
You're supposed to look at the triangle.
- Let's see, let's see.
- That's where you're supposed to look.
- Let's see what you got.
- Okay, just keep your eye on me.
You're gonna see this.
- You watchin'? All right, here we go.
- I'm watchin'.
- Oh yeah! Nice!
Oh!
That's how it's done! See that?
Were you watching?
- All right, I saw it.
- It's all about technique.
As a matter of fact, I'm so confident
I can knock that one down,
says I clear that frame.
- Copy that.
- Why don't you put your money
- I got that.
- Now it gets interesting.
- Right there.
Yeah! Watch, don't take
your eyes off me.
All I need is my lucky ball here.
I got my lucky ball.
All right, we're gonna
make this happen.
Where you going? Look at this guy
going to the bathroom again.
You incontinent old man.
All right, here we go again, fellas.
You ready?
Okay, you guys tell me
we're gonna make this happen.
It's me and my ball.
It's me and my lucky ball.
In my universe,
it's me and my crystal ball.
Looking in my ball,
you know what I see in my future?
A spare.
Watch.
I'll teach ya how to do this
a little bit later on, all right?
Pay attention.
Hey, you guys keep it down.
I'm tryin' to bowl over here.
No respect, I tell you.
These guys. Okay.
Oh! All day long!
I'm just gonna...
How you doing, Luis?
You got something for me?
I told Big Doug I'd have it,
I'll have it.
I want you to think very carefully
about your next move, Luis.
I don't think so, buddy.
Walt, you gotta
let me outta here.
Come on, you know me.
I'm a regular here, I'll be back.
But those are my shoes.
Hey.
Word to the wise, brother.
Stay down.
You'll get your shoes back.
You know me.
You don't know these guys.
- Please, you'll get them back.
- Tommy's gonna get ya.
- I'm a regular here...
- Hey, I'll take an 11.
- Tommy, I'm sorry.
I was gonna pay ya, Tommy.
Tommy, I'm gonna pay.
I'm sorry. Ah!
I'm sorry, Tommy.
I was gonna pay!
I swear, I was gonna...
This ain't right!
It ain't fair!
Oh, it ain't right?
It ain't fair?
I gave you a 10-day extension.
That's more than fair.
But me having to track
your little ass down, that ain't right.
Look, you can't
just come in here and...
Yeah, I can, Luis,
because this is what I do.
This is my job.
Let me break it down
for you, dumbass.
If you borrow from Big Doug
and pay him back, I got no play in that.
But when you borrow
from Big Doug...
- Don't! Please!
... and don't pay him back?
He shoots, he loses.
Please, Tommy!
- Big Doug says me and Julio...
- Tommy, Tommy, please.
Don't!
- I'm sorry!
- I was generous with you, Luis,
seeing we only earn base
plus a cut of the vig.
Meaning the less the vig,
the less money for me and Julio here.
And that ain't right.
I'm sorry, Tommy!
- Be careful, Tommy.
- Ain't fair.
- Okay, I'm sorry, Tommy.
- You got my money?
- Maybe, maybe!
Luis, ain't nothing's ever
been accomplished with a maybe.
Come on, Tommy!
This is crazy!
Okay, I get it!
I get the point, Tommy!
You got two choices.
You either pay Big Doug the money
you owe him in the next 24 hours
or you run and you hide.
Because next time, we ain't
gonna be so easy on your ass.
Smile.
Last time I had
a blood test was at the VA
when I was shipped home
from Iraq.
Seriously though, who knew a job
like this came with health insurance?
When boss wants us
to get a physical, we get a physical.
Tommy Conolan?
The doctor will see you now.
Okay, you know the drill.
Clothes off, gown on,
and the doctor will be in in a bit.
Still here, old man.
Still here.
What's happening, boss?
Tommy.
Usual?
Sure.
- How's the wife?
- She's good.
- Real good.
- That girl deserves some credit
- for putting up with you, Tommy.
- Tell me about it.
Well, here we go.
All right, hit me.
Allan Brady, paid in full.
His eldest still in Afghanistan?
Yeah, sure is.
Army, Fourth Infantry Brigade.
- Good kid.
- Combat team, eh?
Yeah.
That's your old company,
isn't it?
Yeah, a long time ago.
Nick Bradley,
paid in full.
Speaking of the ungrateful.
You hear from Luis?
Funny you should
mention that.
Just had a real nice talk
with that young man.
Hm. That's what I heard.
Think he'll pay?
If he's smart, he will.
If he was smart, he never would have
borrowed from me in the first place.
How's Eddie?
Good as he can be.
They just transferred him
to the state pen.
Tommy, I know you
and the wife will be hurtin',
workin' hard to cover
Eddie's ass like this,
but is he worth it?
Well, no, he's not worth it,
but he's my little brother.
I hear ya.
I got one of those myself.
I can't simply erase
debt like that.
I know, Doug, I know.
- I got it covered.
What'll you have?
That you do.
Something's come up this week
to change that.
I need a package delivered
to the German.
I know some decades back,
the two of you
worked in the same crew.
What happened?
Just difference of opinion.
with Anthony?
Three angry dogs.
One miserable junkyard
to fight over.
And your money's
on the German.
Mm-hmm.
It's that important to you?
It is.
Enough so
that if you do this for me,
I will wipe clean
your brother's debt.
All right. Last I heard,
Wise decision, Tommy.
What's in it?
You're being paid not to know.
That's for expenses.
- See you in a couple days, boss.
- Godspeed.
- Hey.
- Smart move, kid.
- Yes?
- The package is en route.
Excellent.
It's not like I'm really being
unreasonable here, is it now?
It's not like I like the sound
of my own voice
and that's the reason
I'm talking to you.
It's because this needs
to be done.
And spend some money. Try to
improve your look, for God's sake.
Jesus.
I don't know what you guys
do around here all the time.
When's this a**hole gonna get here?
Well.
All right, here he comes.
On my go.
Nicolas.
German.
You wouldn't know
anything about
now would you?
Because, you see,
I intended to take
that shipment myself.
Sure.
Sure I do.
Guys.
Cute.
So tell me.
Where do we stand,
you and I?
How do you mean?
Are we friends, enemies,
or simply competitors?
No different than
a pair of hardware stores
struggling to survive
in the same damn town.
Well...
I wouldn't find it wise
for me to answer that.
And yet therein lies
your answer.
I suppose it does.
How do you think that this,
the you and I of it all,
will play out in the long run?
Poorly.
Agreed.
But in the meantime,
we're at peace.
Peace is the only thing
any of us wants.
Is that so?
It is for now.
How long have
we been doing this?
Too long.
