White Irish Drinkers Page #9

I just couldn't let anything

like that happen to me.

- Would that be the worst thing

in the world,

to stay here

with someone you like?

- I'll see you later.

- Yeah!

- Come on, mick.

Come on, stones.

Let's go.

Come on, stones.

- F***ing bullshit!

- You're not gonna get away

with this.

- Give me my f***ing money!

- You're not gonna get away

with this.

- Who's running this joint?

- That's the little prick

who works here.

- Where's our money?

Give us back our f***ing money.

- Hey, hey, hey.

I don't know what happened.

I don't know what happened.

- Where's our money?

Give us back our money.

- Get out of the way.

Get out of the way.

- You're f***ing dead.

- Look,

I don't know what happened.

- Get out of my way.

Get the f*** back.

Hey!

Hey, brian!

Brian.

Brian,

I'm coming for you.

- I got you. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Get away.

Get the f*** off me.

Get off me.

Come on.

- You're bleeding.

What'd they f***ing

do to you?

- You all right?

- What the f***?

- F***.

Danny, no.

No, danny, danny.

Danny, danny.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Danny, danny, danny, danny.

- It f***ing hurts.

- No, no, no, no, no.

Don't,

don't, don't, don't, don't.

Don't take it out.

Don't take it out.

Don't take it out.

Don't take it...

F***...

No, no, no, no, no.

Help!

Danny.

Danny!

Nooo!

Danny!

- Shh,

it's all right.

It's just a storm.

I'm not gonna let

anything happen to you.

- Don't leave me.

Don't leave me here.

- I'm not going anywhere.

Nothing bad is ever

gonna happen to you.

I'm gonna make sure.

I'm not leaving.

- Eternal rest grant unto him,

oh, lord,

and let perpetual light

shine upon him.

May his soul and the souls

of all the faithfully departed

through the mercy of god

rest in peace.

Into your hands, oh, lord,

we humbly entrust our brother,

daniel.

In this life, you embraced him

with your tender love.

Deliver him now

from every evil-

- don't take away my son,

please.

Don't take away my boy.

It should be me.

It should be me,

danny.

- Pat.

- Take me.

Take me.

Please,

give me back my little boy.

Danny.

- Come on, pat.

- It will be all right,

pat.

- Easy.

It's okay.

It's okay.

We got you.

- You okay?

- Tell you the truth,

I had a lot more fun

last time I was here.

I'm glad I got to see you

before you leave.

- I'm not going to I. A...

They gave that job

to somebody else.

- Sh*t.

Shauna, I'm sorry.

So you hook up somewhere else.

- Mm-hmm.

- All the experience you got,

all the places you've been,

no problem.

- I never been anywhere,

brian.

Never really been out

of brooklyn,

and now I'll never get out.

- It's okay.

Come on out now.

You okay?

You're not scared anymore?

- It's all right.

He got it out of his system.

Just make sure

you're both asleep

before he comes back.

You okay?

Can I...

Can I get you something?

- How's pop?

- Asleep.

- What is this?

Camp rockaway.

When your brother was a kid,

we thought it would be

a good idea

to send him to summer camp.

You know,

let him get some fresh air,

trees,

things like that.

Your father saved up for it

all year,

but danny...

Danny didn't want to go.

No way.

Took him to the bus anyhow.

I was determined.

L-oh, he cried.

He-he-he held on to me.

He-he begged me

not to make him go.

He...

He even promised he'd be good

all summer.

So I took him back home.

I don't know if I did it

for him or for me,

but I couldn't bring myself

to put him on that bus,

and to this day,

I'm sorry I didn't.

It would have been so good

for him,

would have given him a chance

to see what he could do

out there in the world.

The thing is,

he wasn't strong enough to go.

And I should have been

strong enough to make him go.

- The stones come to brooklyn.

Pretty f***ing stupid,

huh?

- Hey,

it could have happened.

- No, it couldn't.

- Think they'll ever

find whitey?

- I hope not.

He really pulled it off.

He rented all the equipment,

the whole nine yards.

Even jimmy cheeks thought

the stones were coming.

- Everybody's wondering

if you knew.

- No.

I probably should have,

but...

I always believed

everything he said.

Are you going back

to pittsburgh tomorrow?

- Yeah,

classes start next week, so...

- Yeah.

How long you think it will take

to get there?

You all right?

- They even have travel agents

in pittsburgh?

- I wouldn't worry.

I have a feeling

people in pittsburgh

really like getting out

of pittsburgh

every once and a while.

- We've got a stop to make.

- Been a long time

since I've seen you around here.

- I just came by to tell you

I'm leaving.

- Yeah,

your mother told me.

Going to school

to draw pictures.

- Gonna try.

- Any good at it?

- Looks that way.

- Make a living with it?

- I don't know.

- You, uh,

need any money or anything?

- No,

I just came to say good-bye.

- Well...

I guess you said it.

Brian.

- That's for my brother.
