White Irish Drinkers Page #8

"Care like this

and then go die on me. "

And then they took you away

from me,

and everybody starts

running around,

and they're doing whatever it is

that they're doing,

and they made me go outside,

and I yelled at them.

I said to them,

"you give me my boy back.

You give me back my little boy. "

Yeah, you gave me

a good scare there, danny boy.

- Paddy.

Go back to bed.

- Ehh...

- Let me take you back to bed.

It's all right, paddy.

It's all right.

- Thanks for getting back to me.

I sent you a letter.

- Yeah, I didn't really get

a chance to read it.

- Well, people don't usually

send us polaroids of their work.

We wrote to tell you that you

have to send in an application.

- Um-

- the stones want

a wah-wah pedal.

What the f*** is that?

- I don't know.

Ask one of those guys.

- Pain in the ass.

- Right, application.

I don't know.

- The thing is,

I've had these polaroids

up on my bulletin board here,

and a lot of people

are commenting on them,

and I see by your zip code

that you might qualify

for some hefty student-

- I'm not underprivileged.

- Okay,

I understand.

What school are you in now?

- Um...

University of lafayette.

- Mm-hmm,

don't know it.

Anyway, I'd like to send you

an application.

We think this could be

a good fit.

- Look, those pictures,

I just sent them

because I was curious.

It wasn't, like,

a serious thing.

- I'm not sure I understand.

Brian?

- Same to me or anyone else.

I'm making you a promise

right here.

If I don't have all my money

by noon tomorrow,

I will come back here

and burn this f***ing theater

to the ground and you

along with it, understand?

Say yes, whitey.

Say yes.

- Whitey?

Hey! Hey!

- It's okay, kid.

I'll be right with you.

- Next time you see me,

I will not be talking.

You came along just in time.

Scared me off,

you did.

- You okay?

- You kidding?

I had him right where

I wanted him.

Come on.

Don't give me that look.

I got this all under control.

After tonight,

I'm gonna be in the clear.

Come here.

I got something for you.

It's gonna get busy tonight,

so I wanted to give you this

before I forget.

I put $1,500 in there for you,

just for you,

'cause you help me out

a lot here.

- You don't have to do this,

whitey.

- No, I do.

Really, I do.

Jimmy cheeks will get his,

believe me,

so I put aside for you.

- I don't know what to say.

- Well,

that's a first.

- I don't deserve it.

- Don't say that.

You're a good kid,

brian.

You can't hide it.

If you were my son,

I'd be nothing but proud.

Anyway,

we have a lot to do for tonight.

After lunch, we've got to find

some kind of dressing room

for these guys.

I hear they're fussy bastards.

We got ten kegs of beer coming

at 4:
00.

Make sure you're here,

ya little sh*t.

- I'm not gonna do it.

I just can't, danny.

I'm sorry.

- What's the matter?

- I can't rob whitey.

I wish I could be like you.

I really do.

I wish I had your balls.

I wish I wasn't

so f***ing afraid of everything.

I wish-

no matter how hard I try,

I'm never gonna be like you,

danny,

and you're always gonna hate me

for that.

- I don't know what the f***

you're talking about.

- Yes, you do.

You do.

- Brian,

you're my brother.

- I know.

Can't that be enough,

just that?

Take this.

It will get you out of here,

at least get you set up

somewhere else.

Don't rob whitey,

danny.

You can do something else.

It doesn't have to be this.

- I wish I could do what you do,

make something out of nothing,

instead of always

the other way around.

- I've been thinking a lot

about the tent lately,

about you and me camping.

Sometimes I wish it could be

simple like that again.

- I'll see ya.

- Danny.

I'm sorry I jacked you

that time.

- Don't be.

I never took you camping,

you a**hole.

- It's gonna be good.

- How are we doing?

- They're still not here?

- They're on their way.

Pete called; Look out for a limo

the size of new jersey.

Here,

I'll cover for you.

Put that in the office,

okay?

Okay, how many?

- Two.

- Two, okay.

- Come in. Have fun.

Enjoy the show.

- Look like you're gonna have

a good crowd, whitey.

Too bad it's for "1 nit only. "

With all the money

I spotted you,

maybe you could have bought

a few es.

- A couple of es.

Yeah,

I should get some es.

I'm gonna get some es.

Vip.

How many?

- Hey, hump.

- Where the f***

have you guys been?

- Is mick here?

Did he ask for me?

- Yeah, he wants to know

who the fat f*** is

who's gonna block his spotlight.

- They're not here yet,

and what the f*** is that?

- What?

- What do you mean, what?

You look like you've got a camel

strapped to your chest.

Ohhhh.

- Guys, we've got, like,

9,000 kegs of beer in there.

- Yes, but that would involve

an exchange of currency.

- Yeah,

unless you can also arrange

for a student by platis.

- You mean gratis,

a**hole?

- Okay, you guys,

just sit somewhere

and try not

to f***ing embarrass me.

- Okay, one ticket, $50.

Thanks very much.

Have a good time.

Come on in.

I.D., ladies?

Just kidding. Come on in.

Come on in.

Very good.

Thanks, very much.

How many, one?

One, $50, a ticket.

Here we go.

No checks.

- I can't believe

we're almost there.

- I know.

- Ahh.

- Good thing we got here early.

- Just one?

The world's gone mad,

I tell ya.

One ticket.

Thanks, very much.

Okay,

there's your change.

One?

One for you.

All right, very good.

Ladies, ladies, come on.

Time's a-wasting.

How many? Two?

- Yes.

- Oh, there you go.

Come on in.

Come on in.

Enjoy the show.

Enjoy the show.

- Thanks.

- How many?

Just one?

This is very sad, very sad.

Go in. Meet a boyfriend.

You'll have fun.

- I can't believe

we're almost there.

Ahh.

- We sold out.

I just locked the doors.

They're three blocks away.

- You're drinking the beer

that I brought in.

- Get the f*** out of here

with that commie sh*t.

- Oh, oh.

Hey, hey, hey.

Thank you.

Love you.

- I told you

that we do not do pills.

We do not.

- No, I got it.

No.

- Thought you'd be gone.

- Um, long story.

- I wish I had known.

I would have let you in

the vip entrance.

So what happened?

Your trip get postponed

or something?

- Yeah,

it's just temporary.

Thank you for the gift.

- You liked it?

- Nobody ever did anything

like that for me before.

- So just out of curiosity,

what did I do to scare you off?

- You didn't do anything,

anything you could help,

anyway.

- Here.

- Oh, thanks.

You know,

when my mother was my age,

she was married already.

She didn't really want to be,

but she met my father.

She just fell in love with him

right away.

She had all these plans.

You know, she was gonna go work

for the airlines,

and she wanted to be

a stewardess,

but she just

couldn't help herself.

She was, like,

20 when they got married.

I never thought you could feel

like that about somebody

so soon like that.

You know, like, enough to want

to give up everything else.
