Truth or Consequences, N.M. Page #5

---

- Brutal.

You know what she orders? Ribs.

The b*tch has five teeth

and she's chewing on a rib.

Chewing's not even the right word.

The b*tch was gumming it!

That's when I just said:

"F*** it. I've had enough of this.

I'm not spending

one more minute with this ugly, -

- sabre-toothed-tiger-looking,

gum-smacking b*tch."

So I got up, went to the bathroom,

climbed out the window -

- and booked to the pad.

So when Addy's talking about

hooking me up with some great girl, -

- there's no way in the f***ing world

that's going to happen to the dog.

She could've been a wonderful girl

with a fantastic personality.

Yeah, right.

- You eat a lot of that stuff.

- I'm pregnant.

- How long have you known?

- A couple of days.

- Raymond know?

- No.

- You're not going to tell him?

- Yeah, I'll tell him.

When?

When the time is right.

He's got too much on his mind.

You should give him a chance

to think about it.

- We'll go to Mexico and live there.

- That's a dream, Addy.

That's real.

If Raymond says we'll do that,

that's what we'll do.

Go to Mexico, buy a house by the ocean

and be a family.

What about you and Gordon?

Do you love him?

You think you know someone, -

- that there might be

something to build on...

Then you see a side of him

you never knew existed.

Howdy, Tex.

- What's your problem, man?

- Right now it's you.

- You bumped into me.

- We don't have time for this.

We've got time.

Come on, Gordon. Kick his ass!

Sh*t.

That's enough, Curtis. End it.

I've got it.

Jesus Christ, Gordon!

Get the f*** back to the car!

- I need a doctor.

- No, you don't.

- Is he dead?

- Yes. Move! Get in the car!

Jesus, that was the most insane move

I've ever seen.

You killed a guy over some pizza?

How does it feel, Gordon?

To throw your life down the toilet.

- It was self-defence.

- That's not self-defence.

Self-defence is:
I hit you, you hit me.

Not:
I hit you, you kill me!

Idiot. F***ing idiot.

- What happened?

- Gordon killed somebody.

Get some ice. We're in a rush.

You're supposed to be the leader.

You can't even control Gordon now.

Gordon?

It happened so fast.

Would you just get some ice, please?

Hello.

I hope we didn't frighten you, Wayne.

- It is Wayne, isn't it?

- Who the hell are you?

I love that look.

No matter how often I do this.

That "I'm-in-deep-doo-doo-now" look.

- What do you want?

- To the point. Good.

It saves everybody time and energy.

I just want to know where Raymond went.

Raymond who?

You were doing so well up till now.

You were direct, to the point,

made eye contact.

- Do I look stupid to you, Wayne?

- No.

Then you must know that I refer to

Mr Raymond Lembecke.

Your former cell mate. The gentleman

who was here earlier today.

I spent last night with my girlfriend.

Somebody broke in through my window.

I don't know who it...

Just a minute.

You spent the night at your girlfriend's

and you're just coming home?

Then how did you know

that someone broke into your house?

- I saw the broken glass.

- Look at me.

You're lying. You know you're lying.

I know you're lying.

They know you're lying.

I haven't seen Raymond

since I got out of prison.

I always give a man a decent chance.

Usually it's three wrong answers.

If you make a guy tell you

what you want to know right away, -

- it robs him of his dignity.

He feels he didn't even try

to be a stand-up guy.

- I'm telling you that I haven't...

- You're telling me nothing.

But you will tell me

what I want to know.

I only mention it, because everybody

tells me what I want to know eventually.

Please sit down, Wayne.

I say again, take a seat.

Where are we going, Ray?

I'm going to do the deal

at my brother's house.

He's away in Canada.

You're doing very well, son.

Now, where in New Mexico?

- Where in New Mexico?

- I swear to God, I don't know!

He just said New Mexico.

Wayne, stay with me, son.

Raymond was raised in New Mexico,

wasn't he?

And he still has family there?

He has a brother.

I don't know where he lives.

Thank you very much, son.

I'll be in in a minute, okay?

I no longer care what happens to me.

I just don't want anything

to happen to Donna, all right?

What's so funny?

Old Gordon over there

just sitting there all teary-eyed.

The fool's never

killed anybody before.

- He still hasn't.

- What are you talking about?

That guy in the parking lot...

He wasn't dead.

He was just hurt real bad.

I had to finish him off.

My whole life I've been afraid.

Now tonight...

I tell myself it was self-defence.

It wasn't.

I could've walked away

before it started. But I didn't.

I just wanted them to know

that I wasn't afraid.

I wanted to impress them.

I love you, Raymond.

If I ever thought

that it could get this bad, I mean...

- I didn't mean it to get this crazy.

- I know. It's okay.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

- Forever?

- I love you more than forever.

Forever'll be done and I'll love you.

You know...

we've been together for a long time.

And us going to Mexico...

That's kind of like saying we'll spend

the rest of our lives together.

Once we get down to Mexico...

...you know, maybe we should...

What?

Once we're there, if you want...

Are you asking me to marry you?

- Yes.

- Really?

What do you say?

I say yes.

They're at the brother's house.

Thank you.

- Yeah, Thompson.

- It's Marcus.

- Marcus? Where are you?

- At Raymond's brother's house.

Outside of Truth or Consequences,

about three miles south on highway 25.

- Are the hostages with you?

- Yes.

- It'd be better if you can get away.

- No, I won't abandon these hostages.

Just make sure

your people don't kill us.

Yo, man, just take care of that for me!

- What are you doing?

- I made a phone call.

- To who?

- To my boy.

- At 4:
45 in the morning?

- He works graveyard.

What did you call him for?

- You ask a lot of questions, Raymond.

- You're not answering any.

I called him to make sure

everything was okay with my mother.

She's on welfare. I've not exactly

been in a position to check up on her.

- Why didn't you call her?

- First of all, she's sleeping.

Second, even if something was wrong,

she wouldn't tell me.

She wouldn't tell me.

She's like that. She's proud.

I get it.

Call your friend back. Call him back!

When he answers,

all you've got to do is tell him:

"I just want to make sure

you understood what I said."

Let me listen.

- Frankie, it's Marcus.

- Did you f***ing forget something?

Did you understand what I told you?

- What do you think I am? Stupid?

- I just wanted to make sure.

I'll go check on your mom in a while.

Mind if I put on a shirt first?

- Thanks, man.

- Yeah, later.

I'm sorry, man.

Everything's f***ed up.

We've got them. Assemble the team.

Wake up. We've got to go.

- Go where?

- Mexico, but we've got to go now.

- But we've got to do the deal.

- F*** the deal. I'm thinking of us.

- There's more to think of than us.

- The others can do what they want.
