What Doesn't Kill You Page #7

- I got it right here. Hold on.

- Thanks, Jackie.

So, you want a drink?

Maybe something to eat?

No, no, no. I'm all right.

- You've been staying in shape, huh?

- You know, hitting the bag a little.

- Attaboy.

- Thanks.

- There you go.

- Thank you.

All right.

Come on, have a seat.

Have something to eat.

- Sit down, relax.

- I'm okay, Jackie.

- Hey, listen, I got a few things to do.

- All right.

Thanks.

- All right. Hey, good to see you, Brian.

- I'll be seeing you soon, Jackie.

I got the pizza. Here you go.

- Yes, pizza!

- Nice.

Here you go. Dig in.

Pay the gas bill. Pay it.

- Where did you get this?

- I went down to see Jackie about a job.

He lent me a few bucks.

Come on, dig in. What

are you waiting for?

- Hey, Sean, how you doing, buddy?

- Pretty good.

All right, listen, Stace,

he gave me a two-word answer!

I'll get it.

How is that?

Brian!

What's up?

Go be with the kids.

What? What's going on?

I just came by to welcome

you back to the neighborhood.

You got a warrant?

Why? You do something wrong?

Yeah, okay. Could you

step outside, please?

Thanks.

Don't come in my

house without a reason.

Like I said, I just

came to welcome you back.

Cute. I got it.

Hey, Jackie, did

you talk to that guy?

He says nothing's open right

now. Hey, maybe in a month or two.

All right, thanks.

Any luck?

Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna

go see him right now.

- Right now?

- Yeah.

All right.

Hey, Brian. How you doing?

- I'm all right. What's your name?

- Dave.

My little brother plays baseball with

your son, Sean. He's a good player.

Yeah, thanks.

- You work for the city?

- Yeah.

How's that?

- Not bad.

- How do you get a job like that?

- You remember Jimmy Kelly, right?

- Yeah.

He got me the job. Otherwise I'd have

to wait in line with 40,000 other people.

There's the boss. All right.

I gotta go buy him lunch

to get him off my back.

Have a good day.

And that's my story of how

I ended up at these meetings.

I'd like to thank you for

letting me speak tonight.

And I'd like to end this

meeting, as we do all of them,

with the Lord's

Prayer, please.

And in the name of the

Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

"Our Father who art in

Heaven Hallowed be thy name"

- All that praying and stuff threw me.

- Yeah, yeah, I know.

I felt the same way

when I first came around.

I want you to trust me on this.

For now, you just show up with me.

If you have trouble

sitting through a meeting,

you just remember

where you were.

That always helped me. Come

on. I'll give you a ride home.

Now, I'm gonna try

to find you some work.

Excuse me. You Jerry?

- Yeah. How you doing?

- My name's Brian.

Sully might have called

you about some work.

Brian. Oh, Brian, yeah,

yeah. Sully called me.

- How are you doing? You all right?

- I'm good. Yeah.

- Yeah. You looking for a little work?

- Yeah, you got something?

Okay.

Yeah, well, you know,

you see what we got here.

Not much, but, you know,

we can keep you busy.

- That'll work for me.

- All right, let me get the card.

- Here's a card. Here you go.

- Yeah.

You give me a call, we'll do

what we can. All right, brother?

- I appreciate it. I'll call you tomorrow.

- Okay. You got it.

Hut one, hut two. Hike!

One Mississippi,

two Mississippi,

three Mississippi, four

Mississippi, five Mississippi.

Yeah.

Hello?

Hi, this is Sister Flora from Saint

Brigitte's. Is this Mr. Reilly?

Yes, Sister.

Mr. Reilly, I'm calling in

regards to Mark's tuition.

As of now, you're

three payments behind.

Yes, Sister, I realize that.

I'm just starting a new job here,

so we've just been playing catch-up.

We're well aware of your

situation, Mr. Reilly,

but we need to bring this to your

attention before the school year ends.

Okay. I realize

that, Sister, but...

I'll take care of it, okay?

Very good. God bless you.

Yeah, you, too.

- Hey, Jerry, what's up?

- Brian, I tried to catch you at home.

I got nothing for you

today. Call me tomorrow.

Okay. All right.

Hey, Freddie.

Freddie, how you doing?

- How's it going?

- Hey, good to see you. Good to see you.

Yeah.

- Hey, what's that? You gotta kill the ball!

- Hey!

- How you doing? Welcome back.

- Good.

- So can I step in?

- Come on in.

- Hey, who's your partner?

- Vinnie and Kevin.

Kevin. Hey, how you

doing? Can I step in?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, take a rest.

- Hey, Paulie.

- Joe Biggs. How are you?

Hey, Tony! Put $100 on us, all right?

I just got out of handball school.

It's a safe bet. All right.

All right. Serve

it up, let's go!

All right.

Can you believe that prick

Pat, huh? $500, he gives us.

I couldn't believe it, either.

What about Stacy and

the kids? They good?

They're good, yeah.

How about money,

huh? You making any?

Yeah, you know, picking up

some stuff here and there,

just spending time with the kids,

trying to do the right thing.

It's tough out here, you know?

- It's good to be out though, you know?

- Yeah.

It'd be a lot

nicer with money.

- Hey, Paulie! When'd you get out, huh?

- You forget about me?

- No. How could I forget about you, Paulie?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So you got my money then?

Well, not right now, but give

me a couple of months and...

A couple of months?

You greedy prick!

I've been down for five years, and

you haven't sent me a f***ing dime!

I'm gonna go outside,

and I'm gonna count to 20,

and when I come back in, there's

gonna be two grand on this counter.

Do yourself a favor, Burt, throw

some cash up on that counter.

- How we doing?

- Here, here, here.

Yeah. Hey.

Hey, see you.

What the f***, Paul? You haven't

even changed your clothes yet.

- Relax.

- He's a cheap prick.

What are we gonna do, starve

out here? Let's go see the kids.

- F***ing crazy.

- How do you like this car?

- What do you think?

- I don't know. I don't know.

- She didn't know that he was married.

- Hi, Stacy.

- Paulie!

- How are you doing?

- When did you get out?

- A couple hours ago.

- Oh, yeah? You look good.

- Thanks, doll.

- How you been?

- Okay. I'm okay now.

- How you doing? You look good.

- Hey, Paulie, they let you out, huh?

Nice to see you, too, Katie.

You're still single, I bet.

- Oh, yeah. F*** you, Paulie.

- Come on, give me a kiss.

- Mark.

- Mark.

- Coming, Dad.

- Come here.

This is Mark.

- That's not Mark. That's Mark?

- Yeah, that's Mark.

this kid. - Hey, wait! The F-bomb!

No, no, no!

- Yeah. He got me my first football.

- Supper's ready.

That's right. That's right,

I got him his first football.

Oh, no. You know, we're heading right
