I will--I am not going

to stand here

and have my character

sullied by

-wild and fantastical insinuations.

-I didn't think you had it in you.

-You had time to warn her.

-What, I lacked a vision stature

And you hung up the phone!

-that I was too mediocre

a person to rise

to a tragic action.

Honey, I don't know

what fanciful scenario

you're writing

in your own mind, but

-I suggest you get a grip

-You had time to warn her.

-on your imagination.

-You hung up the phone.

Well...

maybe in the end you

misread my body language.

I mean, you said it wasn't

an exact science.

You know.

I loved her.

Jesus Christ!

You just met her!

Well, no, I forgot,

you're a dreamer

who believes in love

at first sight.

You know when I think of it.

When I think of it, I could,

I could--

What?

What?

What?

And you, you!

You could live with this.

Huh?

Oh, God, spare me

the bad drama.

Oh, here. Here.

Why don't you kill me.

And avenge her, huh?

Isn't...?

Isn't that the way

it happened in a...

a theater in Athens?

What good our police

with its job they do.

Police can't protect you.

You look a little crazier than me.

Why are you staring at me

like that. I'm fine.

Starin' at you like what?

What's with you

with the dress?

You're nuts.

You know, uh... don't get in

my nerves, Ginny, okay?

I-I swear to God,

I will smash you.

I'm not in a mood.

You--You look a little

crazy to me.

Leave me alone.

Ginny, sorry.

I'm sorry, Ginny.

Don't ever leave me.

It's not what you're thinkin',

was it?

I was thinking Richie'll

be home from the movies.

Soon he'll be hungry.

I don't believe what happened.

You gotta get me through

this like you did...

Like you did, y-you know-

you got--

I gotta wash my uniform.

Talked to Carney and Ryan.

They're goin' fishin' Labor Day.

You wanna go?

No.

I don't like fishing.

Coney Island washboard

she would play

You could hear her

on the boardwalk every day

Soapsuds all around

Little bubbles on the ground

Rub a dub a dub

in her little tub

All those tunes she found

The little thimbles on her

fingers made the noise

She played Charleston

on the laundry for the boys

She could rag a tune

Right through the knees

of a brand new suit

Of Easy Breezers

Coney Island Washboard
