Violet & Daisy Page #5

---

You know what?

Wow!

What?

I don't think there are enough holes here,

from that first time me and Daisy

came out blastin'.

Is that important?

Could be.

In any case I've a feeling that my partner

is not exactly holdin' up her end.

I've never...

actually...

really ever killed anybody.

I've been using blanks.

I just make sure me and Violet

don't share ammunitions.

Like I said, she's so fierce

and thorough on the job.

I could pack a squirt gun,

it just wouldn't matter.

How do you mean,

holding up her end?

I mean, that I might be the

only one takin' up the trash.

- Means it looks like she's been packin' blanks.

- So what?

- So what?

- Yea, so what?

Even if she isn't taking people out,

isn't it better that she's with you?

You think your partner's having

two targets instead of one?

but it saved you behind a time or two?

Do you understand, she's

risking her life as well?

Do you think your friendship

might've helped keep you sane?

- as you wandered through this life of yours?

- There's still the principle.

We have rules and

what she might've been doin',

is a big no-no,

no matter how you slice it.

Cos one day you're packin' blanks

and the next you're wearin' the wire.

So what you're going to do about it?

I might've to take her out,

if my suspicion is true.

I thought Daisy was your friend.

I'm not sayin' I'm gonna like it.

I thought you said she was like family?

She is.

But she's a business woman too,

so she'll understand.

I always figure to check out first anyway.

- Why?

- Because that how usually goes for the good ones.

You got a hair dryer?

Unit 42, come in.

Unit 42,

respond to dispatch.

You just missed her.

- Daze?

- She just left.

Who?

Rose.

- Was she alive?

- I don't know.

But she asked about you.

What did she say?

She said:

"I'm looking for your partner."

Those were her exact words.

- Is that all she said?

- No.

She said that roses were dead,

and violets were too.

She's fled after that

and that's the end of it.

How long have you been here?

She's taller than I thought.

How long have you been here, Daze?

I can't really tell.

Time is bend up now,

so I don't know.

I keep missing my flights.

What's that?

Oh, that?

That's his.

The guy's.

Rose is back.

Hello, Number 9.

Oh my!

Are you...?

Wow!

- I always figure you're...

- You always figure out as what?

Imaginary.

Or a boy.

Do you know what I've been doing today?

I've been watching you and your partner.

Did you hear somethin'?

That partner of yours is

clean out of her mind

And she's gonna put us all

in a real bad spot.

We can't let that happen.

I can't let that happen.

I won't let that happen.

Do you even know what grief

her little sloth is gonna cost us?

Well, I'll tell you.

Two of the idiots that she

ventilated, were engaged.

Do you know who'll they're gonna marry?

The Police Chief's stepdaughters.

And you can bet the house

once they sort out all these rubbish.

Boss is gonna be held accountable,

next to that, a garden of variety

gang war would be a sunday stroll.

- There was a dead guy at the bottom of the steps.

- He saw me!

Can I ask you a question, Ma'am?

Do you always work by yourself?

Yes.

Is it lonely?

What's that to you?

Just wondering.

Well then, let's get back to business,

cos I'm late for my ballet class.

Finish the job or face the consequences.

Am I clear?

Well...

I got news for you, Number One.

Given the situation,

I see why you're T.O and all.

But, what's done is done.

And my partner comes first.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- It means...

that if you try to take her out

or get into the middle of our job,

you're in front world of hurt!

I know what you're capable of,

but we're pros too.

We also know that you're comin' now.

Do you know what I wanted to be

when I was your age?

I don't either.

I like you kid.

You're in over your head

and you're scared,

yet you look death

in the eye without blinking.

It's admirable,

but it won't save you.

It won't save your partner

and it won't save your new pal.

Finish the job or face the

consequences.

You've got an hour.

Sorry about that stuff I said before.

What's them?

When I called you stupid and stuff.

That's okay.

Did you find anymore bullets all around?

Hey.

Wanna hear somethin'?

Your daughter doesn't hate you.

How do you know?

I know.

Well, could you?

You never even met her.

Doesn't matter.

I still know

she doesn't hate you.

How?

I'm a daughter too.

Vi?

She left.

Where did she go?

To get more bullets.

Listen carefully, Daisy.

When she comes back,

I need for you to be the one

to put me down.

It's very important.

Why me?

Cause you and me

are friends, right?

- I guess, but...

- Will you promise me that?

- I can't.

- I need you to promise me.

- But I can't.

- I need you to do this for me.

- I can't.

- I need you to do this for me!

- No, I can't!

- Don't argue with me, April!

- But I'm Daisy.

- Just don't argue with me girl!

You promise me.

Say it.

- I promise.

- You promise?

I said I would, didn't I?

I have something to show you.

I tried to give it to my daughter,

but she... threw it back at me.

I think you're about her size.

Could you try it on?

I'll wait in the other room.

Got the bullets.

You'll be surprised how many places I...

What's goin' on?

How do I look?

Ok.

Where did you get it?

He gave it to me.

What for?

I don't know, Vi.

Can I talk to you a minute?

Have you lost your mind?

- What's your problem?

- You're my problem!

I'll let you borrow it some time

if that's what this is about.

It's not about the f***ing dress!

- Yea, right.

- That's exactly right!

You don't run me, Violet!

We don't know anybody.

or get involved in stuff or

anything like that.

I never went to a prom.

You did, but I didn't.

- Be glad you didn't!

- Why?

- Because they would laugh at you!

- How do you know?

Because that's what they do

if you're different.

Everybody isn't like that, Vi.

And so what if they laugh?

- So what?

- Don't tell me what I know...

you haven't been through things like me.

And I hope I'll never do,

if that makes me so scared.

- I'm not scared!

- Yes you are, Violet.

You don't trust anyone,

or anything..

You never did.

I trusted you!

What?

I said I trusted you!

When did you stop?

The second I saw that

goddamn dress on your back!

That's just perfect then.

Why?

Because now you don't have anything at all.

- So what are you trying to say?

- I just said it.

Say it again, if you have the guts.

- You heard me!

- I'm gonna kick your ass!

Cut it off b*tch!

You're gonna mess up my new dress.

My landlady was coming up the street.

I was just...

just messin' with her.

Never shot a gun before.

- How was it?

- What do you aim on for some new shoes now?

- Shut up about it!

- You shut up about it!

- Make me!

- I just did!

- Oh, is that what you call it?

- Violet!

What?

I almost forgot,

I got something for you too.
