The Last Rites of Joe May (2011) - full transcript

Hey, Sidney.

You take care of yourself.

Oh!

My limo is here.
Mazel tov.

Jesus Christ! Joe May.
I thought you were dead.

Vicious rumor, Chevy, my man.
How about a shot and a beer?

So, where you been? County hospital.

Pneumonia. Pneumonia?

Yeah. Jesus!

I'm all right now.How long they keep you?

Seven weeks. You believe it?



Seven weeks!
Wish I'd have known.

I would've come by.
You know me. Yeah, sure.

Hey, is Billy around? Ah, he was in
about a week ago.

You know, he don't live
across the street no more.

He's in a senior center
up on Palina.

Billy, in an
old people's home?

Assisted living.
And get this,
he says he loves it.

Says if he'd known it was
so nice, he would've
moved in years ago.

Yeah, well,
we'll see about that.

Nice coat. Thank you.

Little thin for
the weather, ain't it? Maybe.

But I look good in it,
don't you think, Chevy? Sure, you look great, Joe.

See you later.

Oh! By the way, I ran
into Al Brookholtz last week. Yeah?



Yeah, his brother-in-law
was down the hall from me.
Cancer, I think.

Yeah, I heard about that. It's funny, 'cause

Brookholtz said you were
the one who told him that I
was in with pneumonia.

Look, Joe,
I would've come by... Don't sweat it, Chevy.

Dirty-minded cocksucker.

Hello there.
You new here?

Miserable little kid.

Come in, honey.

Almost done, baby.

Oh!

Oh!

For fuck's sakes, Joe.
You just vanished.

What the hell was I
supposed to think?

I don't hear from you
five, six weeks?

It's all right,
I work at a hospital.

So, what'd you do
with all my stuff? It's... Gone.

No shit, it's gone.
What did you do with it?

I threw it away.

Aw... For Christ's sakes, Joe,

I thought you were dead.

So, that's it?
You just toss
everything away?

My whole life? Joe, it was trash.

I couldn't have given
that shit away if I tried.

Listen. Look, look, look.
I got a place opening up.

South side,
end of February...

Frankly, I don't know
if you can afford it, but...

South side? I don't want
a place on the south side.

Who the fuck wants to live
on the south side?

Joe, look, easy, huh?
This is my home.

40 years!

40 years I've been here. Come on, let's...

Get your hands off of me!

You and my son, my son
and you, you used to play
right out there in my hallway.

Do you remember that? Joe, times change.

I'm just trying to make
a living like everybody else.

Times change?

Times change?
That's it, huh?

I mean, that...
That's all you
got to say to me,

is that times change?

I'm sorry, Joe.

Times change.

Well...

This isn't over yet.

Life sucks, kid.

Have a good night, Jenny. Good night, Kyle.

Hi.

I know.

I just need
a few more days.

Where's the kid
gonna sleep? - With me.

Well, you know,
I could sleep on the couch. It's all right.

Okay, come on, honey.
Let's go.

These were in the closet
when I moved in.

Not much good without
my record player, are they?

Anyway, I just thought
you might want them. Thanks.

Thanks. No problem.

You want some coffee?

So, where
are you gonna go?

I got friends.

Uh...

Mind if I leave these here,
just until I get settled?

Sure.

Well...

Thanks again.

You know, I never did
catch your name.

Jenny. Jenny Rapp.

Like the music.

That's a very pretty name.

I'm Joe. Joe May.

Like the month.

Stay out of trouble.

Here we go.
Towed on November 7th.

Classified as abandoned
on December 7th.

Sold at auction,
December 10th.

Wow, somebody got
a deal, 75 bucks.

Wait a second,
wait a second,

you sold my car?

Well, not me personally,
but yes, sir,
your car was sold.

Well, it's gone?
My car is gone? That's it?

That's what
you're telling me?

Yes, sir. But it was my car.

Not exactly.
It was abandoned
as of December 7th.

But I didn't
abandon it, okay?

I didn't abandon it.
I was indisposed.

Sorry. Sorry?

That's all you got
to say, is you're sorry?

What the fuck!
Who's in charge
around this joint?

That would be me. Well, I want
to file a complaint.

I'm gonna...There's a pay phone
right outside.

Ah, there's the number.

But if I was you,
I'd just drop it.

I mean, see here?

You got $250 in unpaid
parking tickets,

$185 towing fee,
$1,000 storage fee.

I don't know what
the Kelley Blue Book
is on an '89 Cutlass,

but I'd say you're
getting off easy.

Yeah, well, you ain't me.

Son of a bitch.

It's $443.63.

That's it?Yes, sir.

That's all of it? That's everything.

All right, look,
I want all of it.

Okay. Hundred dollar bill,

two 50s,
five 20s, 10 10s,

and the rest
in singles.

That's 43 singles. I'm aware of that.

Give me a rubber band,
too, would ya?

Here you go.

Give me a shot
and a beer, will ya, Chevy?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

I thought you were
gonna stay with friends.

Well,

sometimes your plans
don't work out.

Well, I got a little
proposition for you.

You need a place
to stay, and...

I could use a little
help with the rent.

You get where
I'm going with this?

What about your kid?What about her?

Well, where's she
gonna sleep?

With me.

Look...

There's a good chance
that I'm not gonna be

needing this place
much longer.

I'm kind of waiting
on something.

If it works out.

100 a week sound fair?

Do you mind?

Don't you have someplace
you have to be?

School or something?

How about spreading
out a little bit?

Give me some elbow room
there, would ya?

I'm sorry, kid,
it's just that I've been

having a pretty shitty
time of it lately.

Me too.

Well, what do
you know, she speaks!

How very nice.

You had
a shitty day, huh?

What'd someone do,
pull your pigtails
at school?

No. Your ice cream fall
on the ground?

Well, whatever it is,
that's life, kid.

One day you're
on top of the world,

and the next day you're
floating in the crapper.

The sooner
you learn that,

the better off
you're gonna be.

Piece of shit.

Hey, come here
for a minute. Come on.

Get up on that crate.

You see that guy
over there?

Yeah. Yeah. The guy with the pole?

Fucker stole
my pigeons.

Why don't you
call the cops?

Well, it ain't
like that.

All I gotta do
is fix up this coop,

make a nice
home for them,
some food, water,

clean hay to lay on,

and they'll come back.

They always come back.

All you gotta
do is make it
nice for them.

Stan's a cop.

Who's Stan?

Mommy's boyfriend.

Oh, your mother's
got a boyfriend!

And you like this guy...
What's his name?

Stan.

This guy, Stan,
do you like him?

No, huh?

Well...

At least that's
something, kid.

Excuse me.

Go back
to sleep, Angie.

Joe! Hello.

Shh!

Think I forgot
my key.

Come on, move.

Where we going,
Jenny Rapp?

I was just saying...

Okay, sit down.

I was just...
I was just saying...

You know, Jenny Rapp
is a pretty girl.

I was saying that.

I think I was
saying that. Anyway...

You are kind of
a pretty girl, actually.

Here. Drink this.

Please.

What the fuck?

Huh?

He's drunk.

Well, well, well.

The crazy pigeon man!

Those your birds
upstairs?

Don't you know it's
illegal to keep pigeons
in the city of Chicago?

Get your fucking
hands off me!

Stan...Leave him alone!

Angelina, get
out of here!

Go to your bed.

He's hurt.

Angelina, go!

Go to bed now!

I said go.

You ought to just
leave him there.

Teach the old fuck
a lesson.

Are you gonna
help me or what?

Shit.

All right.

Stop.

Stop it.

Stop.

I, uh...

You called a car?

When we get there,
I want you to pull up

right in front of this joint
like we own it, okay?

Now, how much to open
the door for me
when I get out?

Ten bucks.

All right, but you do it
again when I get back in,
you understand?

No problem. All right.

And no chit-chatting
with those other drivers

while I'm inside.
We're here on business.

Joe May!

I thought
you were dead!

What do you say,
Georgie-boy?

How the hell you been? I'm good, you?

Eh, okay, uh...

I heard you were
sick or something.

Nah, nah, nah, I'm fine.
Listen, uh...

Lenny inside?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on inside.

Yeah, I'll check
you out later, huh?

Yeah.

Morning, Len.

Thought you were dead.

Rumors, Lenny.
Vicious, vicious rumors.

You're looking really
sharp this morning, Len.

Pass the pepper.

Listen, uh, Lenny.
Excuse me.

Can I talk to you
for a second, please?

So talk.

Do you mind?

Oh, I'm sorry.

So, how's your father?

Fine.

Would you tell him
that I said hey?

What do you want, Joe?

Well, you know me, Lenny.
I'm never one to beat
around the bush.

So don't.

You see, well,
the thing is...

I need a little bump,
you know what I mean?

Nothing big,
nothing grand, you know,

just something that
I can get my hands on.

How long you been running
short of money, Joe?

My whole life.

And how much money
you got in the bank, huh?

A grand? Two grand?
How much?

Oh, no, you got it wrong.
Look, you see,

I'm not here looking
for a handout.

Well, then what
are you doing here?

Go home, retire,
go to fucking Florida.

Florida? That shit's
not for me.

You see, Lenny,

I think I still have
something to offer.

Really, I mean it.

Now, your old man,
he would've...

Oh, come on, Joe.

We were kids together.

Okay, enough. Enough.

You got a pen? Yeah. Yeah!

Here you go.

Ask for Seymour.

Right?

He'll set you up.

Okay. Okay, Seymour.
Great, okay.

What about us?

The usual. 20%.

You're a prince, Lenny,
really, a prince.

Thanks.

Hey, Joe,
where you going?

I'll see you later,
Georgie, okay?

May I help you?

Billy Tidrow in there?

Billy! Billy!

Oh!

Jesus Christ.

Come on, let's go
have a drink.

Eh, it's kind of early.

Well, we have coffee, then.

I'm kind of in the
middle of something.

Come on, I'll be
out front. Come on.

Hey, Joe.

What are you doing?

What do you mean? Where's your coat?

I got a game
going upstairs.

A game? Yeah.

What you got going on?
Come on, let me in.

What do you got?

No scams, Joe.

I'm retired, man, for real.

Are you kidding me?

Give me one
of those, you prick.

So, how you been?

Well, I tell you the truth,
Billy, I've been better,

but things
are looking up,

and that is exactly why
I'm here talking to you.

Joe! No, come on, just...

Hear... Hear me out,
okay? Please.

You still got
your car, right?

I sold it.

Anyways, I don't want no part
of no short money schemes.

What is the matter
with you? Come on.

We'll go out,
make a few bucks,

have a couple
of laughs.

We'll get our hands
on some Fugazi watches.

Listen, I was just over
at Lenny's place.

Take a look at this.

Chiappetti.

What the fuck's
Chiappetti?

Come on, Joe.

Eh, come inside.

Meet some of the guys.
You'll be surprised.

What the hell
happened to you?

I go away for
a couple of months,

and all of a sudden
you're Mr. Fucking
High Pants?

We're not kids
anymore, Joe.

Come on!

Nah, just not for me.

Yeah, right.

Still waiting
for your big break,

your great destiny.

We did all right
together.

Yeah,

so what's so wrong
about sitting back

and relaxing a little?

Huh? Come on!
Come on inside.

Nah.

It's not for me, Billy.

See you around.

Now, you see
that one there?

That's Mimi,
and the one
next to her,

that's Rodolfo.

How can you tell?

Well, Mimi has got
that little spot
on her beak,

and Rodolfo, well,
he shacked up with Mimi.

So, in a few days,
Mimi is gonna lay
a couple eggs,

and then her
and Rodolfo

will take turns
sitting on them.

Pigeons are funny
that way.

Hey, Joe?

Yeah.

Stan's not my father,
you know.

No shit.

I've never seen
my real father.

Well, don't sweat it.

I didn't know
my old man, either.

Didn't hurt me none.

Ready?

Yeah.

Here.

You can do it.

Two days?

Two fucking days?

For the love
of Christ!

Listen to me.
I want you to go back

on the roof and stay
in the coop, you hear?

But... No, no, listen to me.

Go ahead. Quick.
Hurry now.

Pick it up!

A dozen
fucking roses.

Get the fuck
out of here.

Get the fuck
out of here.

What the hell's
going on?

Twenty-five bucks
down the fucking drain.

Hey, look,
you know what?

I think you'd better go
before I call the cops.

The cops?

The cops?

I am the cops,
you fucking idiot.

Let me give you
a little advice, old man.

Don't go sticking
your fucking nose
where it don't belong.

I'll see you
around, gramps.

Jack-off.

So, how long has
this crap been going on?

Look, it's not
what you think.

He's a good man.

He's just a little bit
stressed out right now.

Did you see his eye?

You know how
that happened?

Running into a fire
to save a lady and her kid.

How many people
do you know who would
do something like that?

It's not easy,
me having a kid and all.

He puts up with a lot.

He asked me, uh,

to go away with him
for the weekend.

Just me and him.

I want to go.

I need someone
to watch Angelina.

No.

No, sirree.
No way, baby.

No.

Just this once. No. No, no. Look. Look.

I like your kid.
She's a sweet kid.

I really like her,
but, uh, me and kids,

we, uh...
We don't get along.

We never mix.
We never did.

Oh, just this once.

I would love to help
you out, I really would,

it's just that, you know,
I just don't do
things like that.

It's not my nature.

I need to do this.

It's a little tight.

Better?

Joe?

Yeah?

Would you get me
a glass of water?

Water, huh?

Better?

Good.

Will you give me
a kiss good night?

Why don't you just
close your eyes
and go to sleep.

Please?

What the hell is this?

I was scared.

Of what?

Now, kid, let me
tell you something.

As long as I'm
around this joint,

nobody's gonna hurt you,
you understand that?

Now, I may not
look like much,

but I got a couple
of really good moves
left in me.

You didn't even see
it coming, am I right?

I'm going to be
right down the hall.

If you need anything,
you holler, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Thanks.

Hey, Joe? Yeah.

Can I ask you
something?

Sure, go ahead.

How come you were
crying last night?

What are you
talking about?

I never cried
in my life, okay?

But I saw you
last night.

Did anyone ever tell you
that it's not very nice

for little girls to go around
spying on people?

Sorry.

You ought to be.

Besides, I wasn't crying.

Not like you
think crying is.

It's just that sometimes...

You know, something
is so beautiful,

a song or whatever,
and it...

It's so beautiful
that it makes you

start thinking
about stuff.

About what?

I don't know.

Life, I guess.

How things
might've been.

Are we gonna
have breakfast
together tomorrow?

I'm not sure.

And the day
after that?

Yeah, why?

Just asking.

You just gotta stay here
a little while is all.

But I don't want
to stay here.
I want to go with you.

Well, you can't.

Why? Well, you just can't,
all right?

I got some business
I gotta take care of,

and there's no
little girls allowed.

When are you
coming back?

Later.

I'll bring you
something nice,
I promise.

Say good-bye now.

Uncle Billy's freezing
his nuts off.

Okay, you do what Billy
tells you to do.

Come on, sweetie.

What can I do for you?

Is Seymour around?

I'm Seymour.

Lenny says hey.

Give you a call back.

Move that stuff, guys!
Let's go!

Here. Put this on.

USDA.

Have I got
something for you!

Come on.

Come on, guys!
Get this stuff going!

What's going
on here?

Watch it. It's real
slippery here.

All right.

Think fast!

What the fuck is this?

Grass-fed
New Zealand lamb,

50-pound shank.

Yeah, but what am I
supposed to do with it?

I don't know, eat it? No.

No, look...

Look, Lenny told me
to hook you up,

so I'm hooking you up! Yeah, yeah.

What the fuck
were you expecting?

But not with this, you know,
I want some radios

or some Fugazi
watches, maybe.

What the fuck am I
supposed to do with...

This place look like
a fucking watch
factory to you?

I don't know,
but this is a mistake.

I'm telling you
it's a fucking mistake!

No, there's no mistake. No! There's a mistake!

What the fuck am I
supposed to do with it?

Lenny told me
to give you something,

and I'm giving
you something.

I don't know
what you were thinking,

but I run a legitimate
business here.

Now, if you want the meat,
I suggest you take it

and get the fuck
outta here!

I'll take it.

I'll take it,
you scheming
fucking rat.

Fucker.

Yo!

Hey, pop the trunk,
would ya?

What the fuck
is that?

Will you just please
pop the trunk?

Oh, fuck no!

Rotten cocksucker!

I pray God
you hit a lamppost,
you fucking hump!

Goddamn it.

Hey!

Fuck you!

Deal 'em up,
big guy.

Looking a little bare
over there, Bob. Yeah.

Bonjour, everybody.

How do you like
my moustache?

Oh, very nice.
Very nice.

So, you have
a sandwich here!

Yeah, I do,
and I'm gonna eat it!

Maybe you can share
this beautiful sandwich.

I need two cards,
mister. Uno, dos.

Thank you.

I have to pee.

What? I have to pee.

Well, it's right down
the hall there, sweetie.

Who dealt this mess?

Hello. Yo.

Excuse me.

I'd like to see
the manager, please.

Hi.

Oh, the proprietor,
just the man
I wanted to see.

What is this?

This, sir, is grass-fed,
grade-A, New Zealand...

All right, you need
to get out of my store.

If you could just hear
me out for one second.

You're dripping blood
all over my counter!

This is such tender
New Zealand lamb, sir,

that you can actually
cut it with a fork.

I want you to get
the fuck out
of my store!

Do you hear this? So tender that

you can cut it
with a knife! Hey! I don't want to

hear it, buddy!
What the hell do you
think you're doing?

Take it easy! You're gonna get
me shut down!

What, are you a communist?Get the hell
outta my store.

Fucking lunatic!

I mean it, you
come back here,
I'm calling the cops!

Give me my
fucking meat!

Holy shit!

Choke on it,
you mangy motherfucker.

Jesus Christ, what the fuck
happened to you?

Just send the kid out,
all right?

Yeah, we've got a problem.
Kid took off.

What do you mean she took off?
She's seven years old.

I don't know.
Shit, she snuck out
or something.

I called the cops. The cops?

No, no, Billy,
no cops, come on!

What the fuck
is wrong with you?

I asked you
for one favor.

Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah.

Listen to me.
Call the coppers.

Tell them that
she came back,

and if she shows up here,
just call me at home.

Give me that coat.Yeah, yeah.

Give me that
fucking coat.

Where are you going?

Hello?

Anybody home?

Hello?

Hello!

Hello!

Hello!

Hello.

Hey, Joe. It's Jenny. Yeah, hi.

How's everything going?

I'm, um...

I'm going to be
coming home a little
earlier than I said.

Oh, yeah? How long?

A couple...
A couple hours.

A couple hours!

How's Angelina?

No, no, no,
she's fine. No, really,
we're having a ball.

Yeah, no, yeah, it's good.

Okay.

No, I was just coming
up the stairs is all.

Okay.Okay.

Bye. Bye.

You know, you scared
the shit out of me.

You scared
the shit out of me.

Here.

I'm sorry that I left
you at that place

with all those
old fucks over there.

I didn't think you
were coming back.

But I did.

I did come
back, right?

I'll always
come back.

Promise?

Go ahead, Mom, and ask me
all the streets in the loop.

But I already know
all the streets
in the loop, sweetie.

Just ask me.

What are all the
streets in the loop?

Clinton fell in the canal...

He was whacked,

but frankly,

I'm doing well, Lasalle.

That's great.

What happened?

What else did
I teach you?

Ask me all the
north/south streets.

What are all the
north/south streets?

Somebody's at the door.

Come on.

I know
you're in there.

Baby, open the door.
We need to talk.

Please.

Please, baby, I...

I'm sorry!

I'm begging you,
just open the door

so we can talk.

Jenny!

Please, baby,
don't shut me out like this.

I need you!

Open the fucking door!

She finally
fell asleep.

Don't ask.

It's more complicated
than you think.

He knows things.

Things I did
when I was younger,

even before
I had Angelina.

Things that

I'm not proud of.

The one time that
I did call the cops...

The very next day,

child services were
knocking on my door.

I've made a lot of
mistakes in my life.

But no one's gonna
take my baby from me.

I know people,

people who'll take
that crumb out,

no questions asked.

Thanks.

Um...

The landlord called
today and said that, uh,

he had a place
opening up,

so I figured it might
be a good idea

just to clear out.

Throw Stan off
the scent for a while.

And you can have
your whole place
to yourself again.

It'll be good. Mmm.

Well, I, uh...

I'm kind of beat.

I think I'll
hit the hay.

Joe.

I don't want to
come off the wrong way,

but...

Do you think that
you could hold me?

Just for a minute?

I don't think that's
such a good idea.

Hello?

Scotty?

Who is this?

It's your father.

Are you there? Do you have any idea
what time it is?

Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry, but, you know,

I just got a wild
hair up my ass.

I thought I'd give
you a call and see...

Take care
of yourself.

I will.

Hey, come on.

Hey, Joe.

Hey, George.

Hey, uh, are
you all right?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You don't...
You don't look so good.

I'm fine, really.
Is Lenny inside?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on inside.

"...the company's top
executive devise

"a more aggressive
business plan

"that will put them
on the offensive
in North America,

"despite the tough
downsizing measures"

"the company's taking."

What's up, Len?

You got my money?

Well, you see,
Len, there's, uh,

been a little problem.

Seymour didn't
hook you up?

No, he did.
He hooked me up.

What's the problem?

I couldn't sell it. What are you
talking about?

He gave you grade-A,
grass-fed, New Zealand lamb.

Shit sells itself. Yeah, yeah...

I know all of that.
It's just that,

you know, I was wondering
maybe if, you know,

you couldn't hook me up
with something different.

Like what?

I don't know, you know,
like some watches

or radios
or something like that,

you know, I mean,
I was always really
good at hustling

electronics and shit
like that, you know?

You are a piece
of work, Joe.

You know that?
Look, you got
my money or what?

I lost the meat.

How the fuck do you lose
50 pounds of raw meat?

Jesus Christ!

Give him a glass
of water before he
dies on my linoleum.

Joe.

Joe, here. Drink.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

All right, look,
I'll tell you what.

Um, Seymour says retail,
that piece of lamb

is worth almost a grand,
which means you're

into me for what,
two bills, right?

I, uh...

I don't have
that kind of money.

What's that?

I said I don't have
that kind of money.

Eh, well, you run along
and you find me my money,

and then maybe we'll talk
about hooking you up
with some electronics.

Sure thing, man.

It's like my old man
always said,

you want to get rid
of a loser, you lend
him five bucks

and you'll never
see him again.

Hey, hey, Joe!
Where you going?

Joe, let me give
you a lift!

Joe!

Hey, hey. Hey, Joe!

Hey, man.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm fine.

Wait, man. Hey.
Hey, look.

Uh, take this.
Take a cab home.

You giving me
money, Georgie?

Aw, come on... Georgie
the fucking driver

is giving me a handout?

Take the money
and stick it right
in your ass!

You're a fucking bum!

You never knew
who your friends were,

you know that?
And you never will!

Son of a bitch.

Did you see what he did?

What are you doing here?

Would you believe
that I just happened
to be in the neigh...

You want to come
in for a second
and get warmed up?

Yeah, sure.
Thanks.

Thanks.

You got
a nice place here.

What's that?

Aw, it's just
a little something
I brought for Billy.

Dad, Billy
is 20 years old.

He's going to graduate
from college next year. Yeah.

You know he thinks
you're dead.

Look, Scotty,
I, uh... I know that
you're angry with me...

I'm not angry with you, dad. No, you've been
angry with me

for a long time,
and that's why I'm here.

I'm here because I want
to talk about it,

I want to get
everything out
in the open.

Just, you know...

There is nothing
to talk about.

We don't even
know each other.

I have more in common

with a stranger
walking down the street.

I know I was
a lousy father, Scotty.

Okay, I know
that, but...

But what? No, I...

No, there's
no "but." I want to explain.

Just let me
explain, okay?

You know, I think you
should go, okay? No, no.

No, no. Please... Yeah, why
don't you just...

No, no!

No?

Look, you've got
to know something.

If I wasn't always
there for you,

there was a reason
for that, okay?

I just always
thought that...

That there was something
out there for me.

I don't know what.
I don't know what it was.

It was just I always...

I just thought
there was something,

something
waiting for me.

Something great.

You stupid, selfish,

pathetic man.

You spent your whole life

looking out for nobody
but yourself.

I mean, just look at you!

Stupid fucking coat,

your stupid, pathetic shoes.

Do you remember
the last Christmas?

Before Ma died?

Do you remember
what you got her?

No, I don't. Huh?

No, I don't remember.

The woman was dying,

and you got her a cookie jar
shaped like a duck.

Of course she made
such a big deal over it.

The way she
always did whenever
you'd throw her a bone,

showing it
to all the neighbors.

I didn't have
the heart to tell her

that I found a box
of the exact same
cookie jars

in the trunk of your car
the week before.

Or that you were
trying to unload them

all over Grand Avenue
for two bucks a pop.

Just get out.

Just get out
of my house.

Hey, old man.
Where is she?

- Go 'round the corner.
- Go this way!

Joe!

Where the fuck
did he go?

Go this way.

Oh...

Hello?

I told them your number.
I remember it,
just like you told me.

That's right, Angelina,
you did the right thing.

Where's your mother?

Come on.

He'll find me.

Wherever I go,
he'll find me.

Everywhere I go.

What'll it be? Bourbon with a beer.

Rocks? Neat.
Make it a double.

Be $10.50, please.

That is a nice
coat, man.Thanks.

They don't make 'em
like that anymore.

No, they sure don't.

How much
you want for it?

Seriously. We're
about the same size.

I'll give you
$50 for it.

Coat's not for sale.

It's worth a shot, huh?

Thank you.

Keep it.

Excuse me?

I said keep it.

Dude, there's, like,
$40 on the bar.

Hey, thanks, man.

Are you calling
about an emergency?

Uh, no, I'd like to talk

to the Belmont Avenue
detectives, please.

Please hold
while I connect you.

Oh, I'd like to talk to,
uh, Detective Stan
Buczkowski, please.

He's not here. Do you
want to leave a message?

Yeah. Um...
Would you tell him
that Joe May called?

Oh, wait a minute.

You should tell him
that the old man called.

He won't know who
you're talking about
if you mention my name.

Okay.

Would you tell
him for me...

Tell him that
if I ever see

his ugly, greasy,
dirty, wife-beating face

around again, that I'm
gonna rip his balls

out of his sack
and stuff them

right down
his cocksucking throat.

Have you got that?

Hello?

I'll give him
the message.

I got it, thanks.

Go up here to the light,
about three blocks.

Hey, old man!

Come out, come out,
wherever you are!

Making me work, old man,

and I don't like to work
if I don't have to.

How'd you like what I did
to your pigeons, huh?

You like that?

Just doing my job.

We serve and protect.

Yeah. Yeah, no,
he's, he's not here.

Yeah, I checked
the whole place.

Just pull around.
Yeah, I'll be right down.

Oh, Jesus! God!

Hey, Joe May's picture's
in the paper.

He finally die?

Yeah, but first he killed
a fucking cop.

Let me see that.

I know this cop.
He's a real
fucking lowlife.

Joe May.

Joe May.

What time
you meeting Roy?

In about an hour.

Is he coming
over here?

No, I'm meeting
him there.
