The Tail Job Page #8

See that's not magic, it's just listening.

I listen.

That's why I never find

myself in your position

because I know my girls inside out

on such a deep level that

I'd know if they were going

to cheat on me long before

the thought even came

into their heads and then

I'd send them off to work

in one of my clubs like

that filthy whore, Nadia!

- I guess you're right, Sio.

- Of course I'm right.

If there's one thing I know, it's women.

- Found this trash sculping

around the yard, boss.

- What is this?

- Your rescue.

- Oh yeah, and how do you

feel it's working out so far?

- Yeah, it's going well.

- Apologies again for the intrusion

and bursting in on you

and your girlfriends,

but my friend and I will

just get out of your way now.

- Nicholas,

you know I can't just let you go, right?

- Yeah, yes you can.

Of course you can.

- You seem like a nice guy, you do,

but I'm not in the habit

of letting people go

just because they're nice guys.

See it's all about honor.

We must honor our commitments.

We had a deal.

You promised to stop following me

or you'd have to face the unfortunate

consequences.

Now you broke our circle of trust.

Imagine what would happen if I forgave

everyone who crossed me,

I'd be walked all over

like sh*t on the street.

I wouldn't get the respect

I deserve.

But I do like you Nicholas, I really do,

so I'm going to give you a choice.

Would you like to die first or

second?

First

or second?

First

or second?

- Say second.

- Second.

- Okay Porky.

Time to meet the spit.

- Oh what a mistake you've just made!

You have no idea the sh*t storm

you've just put upon your door step!

- Right now every word

you say is being listened

to by the entire federal police.

- And every move you make

is being recorded by one

of 18 pinhole cameras.

- Bullshit.

- Where are ya'?

You like that, huh, you like that?

- Boss, come have a look at this!

- Seems you two have an admirer.

- He's not hurting my cab, is he?

- This one?

This one's worth a little more, huh?

- Can you go and deal with that?

Don't touch my car.

Don't touch my f***ing car!

Bring him up here.

Put him next to these...

- On this side, under the bumper.

All right, this is you.

So what are you going to do?

- I'm going to go in

there and talk to her.

- Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.

- Hey, what do I owe you?

- Good luck, Nicholas.

You go get her.

Now.

I need you to get out of the car

because you're wasting my time now.

- Oh okay, all right.

- Yep.

- I'll see you.

- You're still wasting my time.

- Hello?

- Cath'.

- Who is this?

- It's Trevor.

Listen, I've been thinking...

- You know what

time it is, Trevor?

- Yeah, I know what the

f***ing time is, Cath.

It's 8:
30 in the f***ing morning

on a Saturday f***ing morning!

- Yeah, I know what

f***ing day it is, Cath'.

F***ing forget it, forget it.

Right.

- Mona?

Mona?

- Nicholas, are you okay?

- Just stay there, just listen to me.

Mona, I want to give you a

chance to be honest with me.

I don't care what you've

done or who you did it to.

I want our relationship to work,

so we have to be open and

honest and show respect.

Who is he?

- Who is he who?

- The guy you were with last night?

- I wasn't with a guy last night.

My phone?

- Mona, I read the text messages.

- You had it?

- You left it in the cab.

- But how did you get it...

- Mona, I'm only going to

ask you this one more time.

Who were you with last night?

Who is Sio Bohan?

- Mona, I just used some

of your body butter.

I hope it's okay.

- That's who I was with last night.

- You must be Nicholas.

I'm Siobhan.

- Shi...

Sorry, how did you say that name again?

- Where to, mate?

- I know this might seem a little strange

but I need you to drive

me to Perth and back.

- Yes sir, Mr. Benson.

What are your thoughts on Bill Murray?

Because I tell you I

recon he's a great actor!

Here I am so are you

Going over and over how it came to be

I don't understand what I managed to do

To be the lucky one with you happily

I don't know and I know what I'll see

- Hey, you know

you can't get through here?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, hang on.

Love is the night yeah

Love is the night night oh

Love is the night

- That's a stupid way to spell a name.

Those letters don't make those sounds.

Where is it from anyway?

- It's Irish.

- So it is Irish

- You know what, I'm

just glad he hasn't found

out about my other lovers, you know,

Chris Tine.

- Oh yeah and Eric A.

- Yeah, Eric A.

He's best friends with Frank Ee.

Sometimes they like to double team me.

- Who is that?

- Just a friend.

- Okay.

Anyway, I booked us a table

at Jason's restaurant.

Remember the Jason from high school?

- Yeah.
