Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead Page #9
Maybe I decide to be|a stand-up guy,
forget the whole thing.
Or buckwheats, or maybe|b- b-b-buckwheats, buckwheats.
Or no.
Live with that.
And the fun part, the real|sh*t-and-giggles part is...
you ain't never gonna|know what I decide...
'til you're staring|at your guts...
on the wall.
- Sh*t!|- # You got to #
# Accentuate the positive #
# Latch on to the affirmative #
# Don't mess|with Mister In-Between #
# You got to spread joy|up to the maximum #
# Bring blues|down to the minimum #
# Have faith or pandemonium #
# Liable to walk|upon the scene #
# To illustrate|his last remark #
# Jonah and the whale|Noah and the ark #
# What did they do #
# Just when everything|looked so dark #
# Man, I said we better|Accentuate the positive #
Boat drinks, Malt.
- # Eliminate the negative #|- You all right, Jimmy?
- Boat drinks, Joe.|- # Latch on... #
# Don't mess|with Mister In-Between #
Ah, he's got a lot on his mind.
What'd you say your name|was again, friend?
Par-tay!
I am Godzilla!
You are Japan!
Your reputation far exceeds|your skills, mammy rammer.
"Blood runs when the time comes. "
The first rule of the life.
"The blood runs|when the time comes. "
Just because Mr. Shush is gone,|it don't mean sh*t.
I hear he already|made a call.
The Mantirez brothers out of Albuquerque|have been called in.
"Assassinos locos. "
- # Born on the bad side #|- # Bad side #`
- Hi, baby.|- Jimmy, what happened to your face?
It's okay.
- Alex, how are ya?|- Ah, this is the guy, right?
- Yes, I'm the guy.|- Yeah.
Jimmy, what are you|doing here?
I have a favor|to ask.
# I thought that trouble|was my only friend #
I bought this ring.
It's a good ring.
It's in your color. It's perfect.|I'd like you to give it to Dagney.
You, uh...
You wanna buy my engagement ring|for Dagney.
I bought your engagement ring|for Dagney.
Give her the ring, please.
- Jimmy, don't do this.|- Please. Please.
You don't think that|that's a little odd?
- Please take the ring.|- Dagney.
Open your heart|and take the ring.
- Take the ring.|- Don't do this.
- Is that what you want, Dagney?|- Take the ring.
Take the ring. Take the ring!|Take the ring!
What the hell|are you doing?
Sorry.
Look, I don't even|like you anymore, Jimmy!
You swept through here|talking the talk,
and ever since then|I don't know what's what.
You know what's what?
I'm just like all the others.|I just need you more than the others.
The other night, you were telling me|you were on the brink of an exception.
You know how many people out there|want a shot at bringing you paradise,
that want to spend the rest|of their days with you?
- You're doing the talking thing again!|- And I want to do that, see,
but I can't do it,|and I want to do that so badly.
Why? Just tell me why.
I'm dying. I went to see a doctor.|He tells me I'm dying.
He tells me I have to give|you back to all the others.
Dying? What do you mean,|you're dying?
Dagney, listen.|I really have to go. I'm... I'm...
I'm gonna cry here in the middle of Silver|Naked Lady, and it's bad for my reputation.
I love you.|You know that.
And I know if I'd had a chance to take possession|of your soul, I would have made it smile.
Don't cry.
- # Have a bad love #|- # Bad love #`
- # There's something about real bad love, doll #|- # Yeah #`
- # Have a bad love #|- # Bad love #`
- # There's something about real bad love, doll #|- # Bad love #`
Hey, Jimmy.
Well, how are you?
- Hey, did you wanna bowl?|- You need a ride, Bernard.
Gus and Ellie are supposed|to pick me up. You know, they always...
- I know.|- They're always late.
I'll come aboard with you.|What the hell. Sure. Huh?
Serve them guys right|for bein' tardy.
What happened to you?
Come on, let's go.
Somethin' wrong?
Yes.
Ugh.
Aw, s...
Lucinda.
Hey, Jimmy.|What's up?
Get in the car.
What happened to you?|What happened to you?
It's gonna be|a beautiful baby, Jimmy.
Most of all,|you're gonna have to remember...
it's not gonna be|a perfect world.
It's gonna be harder|than Chinese math.
But as cold as it's|gonna seem sometimes,
you must have... faith.
- Jimmy?|- Gotta have faith.
Have a list...
Come up with a list...
of what's|important to you.
The ten most important|things to you.
Write 'em down.
No one can satisfy all ten.|It's impossible.
If you can satisfy five or six,|you're nearly there.
You're on your way, kid,|to your own perfect world.
It's important|that you listen to your mother.
She's a fine woman,
decent, smart.
You listen to her.
A good man|once told me that life goes by...
faster than summer vacation,
and he was right,
and one day you'll be old enough|to understand that.
So enjoy it.
Enjoy your life.
Enjoy it all.
You were on my list.
And me doing this|has given me...
my own perfect world,
and I thank you for that.
I really do.
They say the Man With The Plan|can never be killed,
but Jimmy the Saint,|he did it.
He didn't have to scale no walls|or wrestle with no goons, either.
He just took Bernard|out for a ride.
The Man With The Plan never|spilled another drop of blood again.
# Dreaming, dreaming #
# Dreamin' in the hold #
# Dreaming, dreaming #
# Dreamin' in the hold #
# Dreaming, dreaming #
- # Dreamin' in the hold #|- Gentlemen,
we have boat drinks.
Oh, it's just the way we shake hands.
You press palms|upside like that.
You know why? Because when|we were locked down,
in the visitors room|they had this clear plastic divider...
that separated you|from your visitor.
And you used to touch 'em hello and|good-bye like that.
Hey, I ever tell ya about|Jimmy "the Saint" Tosnia from Flatbush?
In his day,
the b*tch's bastard.
# I still remember it was autumn|and the moon was shinin' #
# Our '60 Cadillac was roarin'|through Nebraska whinin' #
# Doin' 120, man, the fields|was bendin' over #
# Headin' out for the mountains|knowin' we was travelin' further #
# All the farms were blazin' and the|spinnin' wheels were turnin', turnin' #
# Had my girlfriend stop it But, oh,|brother she was burnin', burnin' #
# I walked up back the street|and saw a funky schoolteacher #
# She had a lot of somethin' heavy|but we couldn't reach her #
# We told her that we needed|something that would get us goin' #
# She pulled out all she had|and laid it on the counter showin' #
# All I had to do was lay my money down|and pick it up #
# The cops came bustin' in and then we|lit out in a pickup truck #
# Go get out of Denver|Baby, go, go #
# Get out of Denver|Better go along #
# Get out of Denver|Better go, go #
# Get out of Denver|'Cause you look just like a commie #
# And you just might be|a member, baby #
# Get out of Denver, baby|Get out of Denver #
# Well them lights were flashin' and the sirens were a|- screamin', screamin' #
# We had to pinch each other|just to see if we were dreamin' #
# Made it to Loveland Pass|in under less than half an hour #
# Lord, it started drizzlin'|and it turned into a thundershower #
