Let s take a break.

Hey man,

Sometimes.

Between you and me,

You ask a lot of questions.

Hey man, I m just old and bored.
I'll leave you alone.

Nah it s alright.

I ll answer your
questions semi-truthfully.

There was a girl I

So you laughing

The girl.

Well are you?

No, I m not a shark.
I m just lucky.

I like your briefcase.

Where d you get it?

Smithfields.

New?

Yeah. You want to
see the fucking receipt?

You have it?

Want to go again?

Absolutely.

Your luck s gotta

Calling that luck is
an insult to luck.

Oh.

I don t want your old lady
coming after me with

with a meat cleaver.

She s vegan.

She might be
fucking crazy.

Let s just rack em.

A guy that lays his
money down like that either

doesn t have a woman or doesn t
care about losing her.

Or he s confident he's
gonna win it back.

No.

That guy throws his money
down a different way.

Hi, can I help you?

Hi, how are you doing?

- I'm okay.
- Good.

Here s the thing.

I need to return this briefcase.

I bought it a
couple of weeks ago.

I don t know.
It just doesn t suit me.

Okay. Do you have a receipt?

Who has time for paper?
I don t really do that.

Uh... I just would
like to exchange it, maybe for

like a store credit or
something, maybe that jacket.

Well, I d love to
help but...

But you can't.

I m gonna level with
ya. I m not great with style.

I mean, look at this.
You know what I mean?

I need somebody, in this store.
I don't know if you know anybody

like this that can maybe help me
pick out, you know,

like a nice outfit
and we'll just exchange it

for the briefcase.

Who has time for paper? Right?

I get that.

Let s try that jacket on.

It s time to go.
I ve got to get out of here.

Keep moving
forward. Keep going forward.

Mmm hmm.

Yeah.
It s been a good trip.

I d say better than

Time to get back.

Nothing. I m done.

I m gonna see a friend

Ninety miles to

So it s cool if I crash at your
place for a couple of days?

Alright, drinks are on me.

That's what I'm gonna do.

You get into your forties and

At least.

I m not getting rid
of my coffee table.

Fuck that, it cost me

So?

It was perfect.

How do you feel?

Like I'm king of the road.
It went great. Bar looks good.

Thanks.

We re expanding.

No shit.

Buying next door.

Really. I think Big
Pete would be proud.

You look good.

Flattery will get you everywhere
my dear girl. New duds.

Oh sharp. Expensive?

The opposite of expensive.

So how was Kentucky?

Lots of dark liquid.

Better than last fall?

Infinitely better. Do you
remember the Hilltopper

with the limp?

Ugh. How could I
forget that asshole

I took five hundred from him
playing poker.

Ooh, there is
justice in the world.

I know right.
It was a good run.

The weather was
good. Got to go to the track.

Oh, did ya hit the new
one? I ve heard good things.

No.
Old school all the way.

Success?

No. My guy down
there retired.

I was throwing darts like the
rest of the suckers.

Who set you up down there?

Different guy.
Friend of friends.

Gotcha.

He doesn t go
Northeast of Evansville.

Oh, I m not concerned,
I m just making conversation.

And while we re talking,

I ve got
something else.

I didn t know we were talking.

What kind of something?

It s a house.
This guy's on vacation.

We ve got his alarm code.

Walk right in,
six figures in a safe.

Just need someone to go in.
Half for us, half for our

collaborator.

And who's that?

Someone you don t
need to worry about.

Les, this is not my
thing anymore.

I'm all about low
risk, low stress.

Low scores.

How much do I need?

You can always use more.

I made a list today of all
the jobs. A lot of driving.

Lotta action. Lotta bad
reactions, lotta highs,

lotta lows, lotta bullshit, Les.

That s the game.

Who s the mark?

He s some scumbag in a suit.

Middle man. It s not like you d
be cleaning out some upstander.

I d never put you on that.

Do what you want?
I just connect.

No harm in meeting people.

Well there is, you just
might not know it.

It'll be fine.
It s a one time crime.

Yo.

You're Mac?

Vic?

Yes, sir.

Pleasure to meet you man.

Have a seat man.

Sure thanks.

So what can
I get you?

I ll have
whatever you re having.

Alright, alright.
Coming right up.

I hear
good things about you.

From Les? Yeah, she's got a
selective memory.

I hear you're a comedian.

I've done some stand up.

I suppose there s a reason I m
not blowing lines on the sunset

strip though.

Yeah.

So, this your place?

One of. This is the most chill.

You from around here?

Born and raised baby.

- So you're a hoosier?
- You re damn straight. Cheers.

Cheers.

So, you ever perform
around Indy?

Around here. Never in Indy.

- Yeah why not?
- I don t know.

I couldn t find my hustle here.

So how do you
come up with your material man?

I don t know. Living.

I use a dictaphone. You know.

- Keep track.
- Yeah.

Work through my shit.

Yeah.

I respect comedians bra.

They re out there, front and
center you know, kind of naked

and exposed.

I m better
behind the scenes.

Clubs, bars, fall back,

delegate.
I envy you guys though.

Yeah, when I used to
play football, I got my rush

being center stage.

Oh yeah? What position?

I played safety.
I used to lay people out man.

Pay-yeoh! Baby like
freight train, you know.

Ah, that was then, man.
This is now.

I ve made my peace.

I just live everyday like
it s my Super Bowl you know.

I gotta win em all baby. Always.

- Ahhh.
- Whoo.

Smooth like petroleum.

Puts hair on your balls man.

So come on, tell me a joke!

Ahh. Comics hate that man.

That s not how it works.
Why don t you tell me about this

score?

Man in time, in time. Come on
man, make me laugh.

It doesn t work that way.

Come on bro, tell me
something funny.

Tell me something funny, bro.

The world needs laughter man.

Shit I need a laugh
more than most.

It s been a tough week.

People on my back, breathing
down my neck,

fucking my shit up.

It s been a rough one.

That sucks.

- Yeah, sure does.
- Mmm.

I m being serious.
When I m being funny,

I m being serious.

Man what is this? What the fuck?

This is serious bro.

I m sorry man, but you ve
got a lot of enemies

around these parts.

Where was I?

I'm... in a bar. I was in a bar.

And there was a big guy.

it smelled like pine.

Sorry, it smelled like pine.

Eh. Uh.

Oh shit. It just got real in
here. You feel that?

Ah. Maybe this is rock bottom.

I woke up the other day.
I don't know where I was.

That's happened...

I feel like that should
happened twice in your life.

And I know a lot of people are
saying, no that's great,

you re living right.

I don't think so.
I feel like you should know

where you're going to wake up
before you close your eyes.

It s happened to me too often

that I wake up and I m asking
who are you?

Where s my shit?"

Do I have shit?

I think I bought some shit
and now I don t have it.

I m just telling you that
that kind of lifestyle

you re going to end up
kinda looking like...

I don t know, like this.

Fuck.

I can t figure
this place out.

Usually I can capture the
essence of a place but not here.

It reads like no
place I ve been.

Indianapolis.

Don t call it that.

Why? Does that offend you?

I don't get offended.

Just annoyed.

Well, that s the
last thing I want to do.

So where do you live hot shot?

Nowhere.

No house, no picket fence?

I m from the city,
I don t have a house.

But I don't have an
apartment either.

So you re
homeless?

I have a gym membership and
friends that let me crash.

A gym membership?

Yeah, I can go there and shower.

Check in on the news.

Not to mention exercise.

Yeah, I don t do that.

And these friends?

They re fluid, but I've got em.

They must love you.

They do. I m the
life of the party.

I have the life they all want.

You are entertaining,
I'll give you that.

You re pretty
entertaining yourself.

You know people often look
entertained but on the inside,

it s a fucking horror story.

How you can tell?

I see it in the eyes.

What do you see?

Two seats.

So what do you
see when you look in the mirror?

- I try not to.
- What do you see?

I see a man that s
living free and easy.

What makes you happy?

I don t know.

I know it when I see it and you
know tonight s been fun.

Yeah.

Dark drinks in dark bars,
talking to strangers.

I liked that dive bar
we were at earlier.

You know you re
not that strange.

You know, I haven t quite
figured you out yet...

but you re not so strange.

So what are you bored and
married or just bored?

Well, If you re bored
than you're boring.

So you re married?

I m not that stupid..

I like your tattoo.

Oh, thank you. It s new.

Where d you get it?

Some guy in
Fountain Square did it.

You like this place?
Indianoplace?

Don t call it that.

This is a place.
It s just below the radar.

That s true.
I can t figure it out either.

I keep swinging
by but I don t know.

You swing by like an ape?

There s no salt water in the
Midwest, but there's a lot of

salty motherfuckers in my wake.

That s what you are. Yeah.

You're a shark.

- Am I?
- Mhm.

You re a shark.

Excuse me,
there's no smoking on campus.

Oh, sorry.

Hey, I ve got a nephew
who goes here. He's a student.

Can you help me find him?

So we talked about
Renaissance, Neoclassicism.

Expressionism. Do you think
they ll be much on Mannerism?

I don t know. I hope so.
I really like the period.

Yeah, I like it too.

It's funky.

Funky, hell yeah.

It s like the
Renaissance birthed something

counter-cultural.

I think Bordwell has a hard on
for Parmigianino.

Who doesn t?

I mean metaphorically.

Parmigianino.

Self-portrait in
the Convex mirror.

I love that painting.

Me too.

You, uhm. You want
another coffee or anything?

No, I better go.

I m so busy.

Understandable.

Thanks for reviewing with me.
It was helpful.

Thank you. I'm feeling
a whole lot better now.

- Well. See ya.
- See ya.

Why didn t you say
something to her?

What are you doing here?

I m in town. I thought I d
stop by and say hi.

How d you even find me?

It wasn t hard.

I haven t
seen you in ten years.

It s been a long time.
You look good.

You mind if I sit?

No. I don t
mind if you sit.

Go right ahead.

Hey. Hold up.

You need money?

What kind of question is that?

You need money.

- Yeah.
- You are unbelievable man!

Alright, I m trying to
lighten the mood.

How s college going for you?

It s good. Made dean s list
last semester so.

Okay. That s. That s. Tough
to do, I heard.

Alright.

Listen.

I wasn t great to you as a kid.
I get it. And I m sure your

mother said some stuff
and it s probably all true.

And I know
when I left, that wasn t great

for you either.

Understatement of the century.

Do you own a bike?

Do I have a bike?

Yeah, do you
own a bike now?

Yeah.

You know the first
bike you ever got, I bought you.

It was a little red one.
Do you remember that?

No.

Well, I did and we
spent like two weeks, you and

me, learning how to
ride the thing

...and you did it.

Eventually you did it.

I guess the point I m trying to
make is that it hasn t always

been that bad between
the two of us.

Okay? There was some
good stuff in there too.

We re family.

I m here now and

I need some cash
and I m going to

pay you back.

What the hell are you
doing with yourself?

I m asking my twenty one year
old nephew to borrow money

and it doesn t feel
good but it is what it is.

I m twenty.

Okay. We ll get you a fake I.D.

Here you go.

Wow.

Five hundred.
Where d you get this?

Loans and I work two jobs so.

You want to know how to play
cards? I can show you the ropes.

No cards. No gambling.

Alright.

Smart kid. What are you going to
do the rest of the day?

I ve got a lot of studying
to do but if you want, you can

- stay for lunch, cheap falafels
right down the street. -44

Falafels
You remember that?

Of course.

I Actually I can t.
When I come back to take

care of this,
I promise we ll spend time.

Alright man.
Take care of yourself.

So what kind of
trouble are you in?

It s not that big a deal.
I ll take care of it.

I ll get this back to you.
Don t worry about it.

Alright?

Yeah. Just be careful.

I will. Alright. Thanks again.

I m proud of you. I'm serious.

- Thanks Uncle.
- Alright.

Yo.

Lose the cigarettes.

Okay. I ll try.

Every time I go through
something really bad or painful

in my life, my threshold you
know it changes and I think

there s that one dangerous thing
that I m scared shitless about

doing.

I m going to cut back
to like one pack a day.

I m going to do
my taxes this year.

Maybe I should
go see a doctor.

I ve got some sharp pains.

Spencer, my man.

What the fuck?

We re closed.

How s the meniscus?

Fuck you.

Look I ve got some money, I want
to get in the game.

Yeah no shit, you
cleaned out my regulars.

Fuck off.

Come on.
Really?

Yeah really.
Fuck off.

Come on.

Dude. Fuck off.

Fine.

You know where I can get a gun?

Ah.

Minimalist. Nice.

You re not from around here.

No.

But you knew how to find me.

I know people who know
people who I guess knew

how to find you. Yeah.

Hmmm.

You re not from
around here either.

How would you know?

Just a feeling, really.

Huh. You re right. I m from
the borough of Queens, New York.

Okay. I didn t think anyone
was really from Queens.

What brought you here?

Guns.

You re an enthusiast.

I m enthused by money.

How much do you have?

Uhh... I have four.

- Thousand.
- No no no four... I got four

- hundred.
- Hundred! Four hundred

dollars worth of bad intentions.

Nah, you re not going to see me
on the news or anything man.

I just need protection.

Oh... We all
could use some of that.

Four hundred dollars
will get you one of these.

Okay. I gotta to be honest man.

I don t know dick about guns.

Have you ever
handled one before?

Yeah, in a... in a past life.

If I shoot somebody in the
killing spot, will it kill them?

- Probably.
- Good. I ll take it.

- Do I get bullets?
- Oh, sure.

There s a little box in here
somewhere. I ll let you know

where it is on my way out.

Alright. Here you go.

Pleasure doing
business with you.

Interesting tattoo.

- Is it?
- Yes, where d did you get it?

Some guy in Fountain Square
after a bender.

Interesting in that I know of
someone who has a tattoo like

that.

This someone once scammed my
brother out of some money.

Dice game.

Craps. My brother was unable to
hold down a steady job and he

left his fortunes up to the gods
of chance and we all know how

false those gods can be.

Do we?

My brother was playing
with a fellow who

would consistently
hit the number that he needed

and often hit it at the exact

moment that he needed it. My
brother was slow on the uptake,

but he caught on eventually but
not before this grifter with a

lowercase e. tattoo took
off with his rent and the money

intended to pay our dear
mother s hospital bill.

And you think I m
this evil dice man?

I think you re him.

Okay. Look maybe, uh...

maybe I played dice with your
brother.

and maybe he was too stupid to
figure it out and maybe I took

him for some money.

But I m just a guy like you.
Here to buy a gun.

Don t be coy with me man.

Let s not fuck around. Let s
just conclude our business.

This one will
most definitely kill you in the

killing spot.

Let s relax man.

Okay? Let s call your brother
and we'll figure it out.

He s dead.

You think I did that too?

No, no that s my fault.

I killed him.

Why?

Because he was a little
pissant too deplorable to live.

Click. Poo.

Click. Click poo.

Click poo.

Clearly you got a
lot of stuff going on and that s

fine.

If you could just let
me get out of here,

that'd be great.

I don t think you re
going to shoot me.

No?

I think you re
smarter than that?

I think you
realize that I m just a guy?

A guy with four hundred dollars
worth of bad intentions.

I m broke.
I got a gun with no bullets.

If I really loved
my brother, you d be dead.

I think if you loved your
brother, he d be alive.

Bullets are in the bathtub.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Hey feel free to make yourself
something if you want.

What the fuck is that?

It s not a cigarette lighter.

Take it easy.

- Where s is she?
- She s not here.

Come here.

- Take it easy Mac.
- Come on. Open this.

Come on Mac.

Just open the fucking register.

Jesus. Slow day?

We re not open yet asshole?

Where is she?

She s not here.

Show me. Show me.

See I told ya.
She s not down here.

- Why d she do it?
- Why d she do what?

She doesn t tell me shit.

Doesn t that piss you off?

Where s your car?
Give me your keys.

- Why?
- Because I need your car!

Mac, I just got
it back from the shop.

I m a good driver.

Take a cab Mac.

You see this fucking gun
I have. Give me your keys!

Look, I see that
you have a gun but you re not

going to shoot me so why don t
you get the fuck out of here?

Fucker! Jesus Christ...

Give me your keys dipshit!

What is your problem?

I need your car, give me your
fucking keys!

If you didn t have this gun, I d
put you through this fucking

wall.

You don t
and you won t. Give me the keys.

It s right outside.
You better drive straight.

What are you talking about?
That s a great joke.

That s the worst.
Nobody likes that.

Hey, what can I get ya?

Vic here?

No he s not. Who s asking?

Nobody.

Southsider.

Do you dream?

What kind of dreams?

When you sleep.

I don t sleep well. You?

I have this dream where snakes
keep slithering up my legs at

night.

What does that mean?

I don t know.

I think it
could be good or bad.

Well, tonight when you
dream of a snake, think of me

stroking it ever so slightly.

Okay. I ll try.

What about big dreams?

Big dreams as
in like life dreams?

Mhm.

Dreams are for the young.

You re young.

No, I m not.

What about...

you and I...

we pack up and we
get out of here?

Is that your dream?

I manage expectations,
I start small.

It s not easy for me to leave.

Why not?

Things are complicated.

What kind of things?

You don t want to know.

I've been all over the place
and I ve seen a lot of great

things and I d like to take you
and show you all of them.

You re the guy
that doesn t care.

That s why I like you.
That s why you re here.

But you don t have to be.

But I am.

But you don t have to be.

But I am.

You don t have to be.

But I am.

You re married.

Yeah, isn t it obvious?

You don t wear a ring.

Well, neither does he.

Married women are bad news.

I don t like to get
involved with them either.

- He hit you?
- No.

- He cheat?
- Don t know.

Do you love him?

He s okay.

Just tell me the
truth Evelyn.

Remember I m the
guy who doesn t give any fucks.

What game are we playing?

I don t want to talk about him.

I m just managing expectations.
Get me?

I got you.

I got you...

and I like you, a
helluva lot more than him.

That makes me all
warm and gooey inside.

Oh come on Mac. Be my friend.

Married women don t
need friends like me.

I think a friend like you
is just what I need.

You're not going
to let me inside?

No I m not.

You look pretty.

Thanks, we re going
out to dinner.

Where?

Italian place we like.

That s delightful. So?

I m glad you re alright. You
should leave and never come

back.

I will leave when I get my money
and my fucking car.

I don t have either. People do
what they have to do. That s all

That's all I m going to say.

I totally agree.

I can see where
Petey gets his calm.

You know I smacked him
around a little, borrowed his

car.

Mine disappeared after I
got drugged in a meeting

that you put me in.

Is Petey alright?

What do you think?

He better be alright.

What do you want me to say? I m
sorry.

That s it?

You re out of your depths Mac.
Cut your loses and leave.

You know, I am real tired of
people underestimating me.

I didn t shoot Petey.

But you fucked me Les
and now all bets are off.

Is this what
happened to Big Pete?

You snapped and then
he had to go?

You bite your
fucking tongue.

What about this new guy Bill?

Mr. Fix It.
Let s bring him out here.

You re a fucking asshole, you
know that?

Am I?

You underestimated all the
people around here you kept

fucking over.

Yeah,
I trusted you.

You thought you were
smarter than them.

I trusted you!

You have skeletons in a million
fucking closets!

You said I was safe!

You were safe but you
came back one too many times.

Cut your loses and leave.

Leslie?

Hon?

You out in the garage?

Everything okay out here?

Yes dear. Bill,

Who s leaning on you?

What the fuck is happening?

Club Cobalt.

What about it?

The guy you met. He owns it.

Vic. The meatball.

He approached me about you.

He has it in for you.

Clearly. He leaned on you?

Yes.

- Why?
- I don t know.

How?

He s got some dirt on me.

All I had to do was make you go
see him. Had no idea what for.

That s it.

I had no choice.

I m glad you re okay.

Now leave!

Anything else?

Bye Mac.

I went to this club
the other night.

I don t know what these young
people are doing that they're

so fucking happy.

You shouldn t be allowed to have
fun until you get to like

thirty eight and you ve really
gone through some shit

and you earned it.
That s what it is.

They haven t earned it. They re
too young to have earned it.

You shit yourself for the first
decade and then your parents

got you a sandwich and then you
went to school or whatever kids

do and now you re dancing.
Fuck you.

That s bullshit.

There should
just be clubs of parents.

They re the ones
that have made it.

Clubs should be full of fucking
old people dancing because we

all fucking survived. Young
people should just be at home in

tears.

So

There s this New York Wall
Street broker. He goes down

at work, he has a heart thing.

Right? It s bad. Ambulance.
The whole deal.

Goes to see his doctor. The
doctor says this job is too much

stress for you.
You ve got to quit. Today.

So he does. He buys a house in
Montana on the side of a hill.

He s out there working on the
garden. This guy pulls up on a

tractor and says Hey, you see
that curl of smoke across the

canyon, that s my place.

I m your neighbor.
Oh great to meet ya...

The neighbor says listen, uh,
we re going to have

a party Friday, you should come.

The Wall Street Broker says
That s so great, I would

totally come to your party,
that s going to be awesome.

The neighbor says
hey listen I just want to tell

you there s going to be some
drinking. Okay.

I hope you re okay with that but
there's gonna be probably

some pretty heavy drinking.
You alright with it?"

No, that s fine.

There s going to be narcotics
too. Cocaine. You know, it s

going to be rough.

The guy says
That s no big deal.

Might be some violence.
Some fighting that happens.

Alright, I can handle that,
I m from the city.

Alright cool, I
just want to be totally

transparent with you.

There s gonna be some, some
sex. A lot of sex going on.

I mean a lot. Like
heavy fuckin'.

You know. It s gonna be bad.

Alright, I can t wait.

The neighbor starts up
his tractor and starts to head

off and the broker says, uh,
uh, what should I wear to

the party?

The neighbor says Oh I don t
care.

It s just gonna
be you and me.

Yeah. So.

Thank you very much.
You guys are great.

Thanks a lot.
I appreciate it.

That s a good one man.
Just you and me.

Do you like your life?

Yeah. Do you?

Not really.

You like this club?

Yeah.

It s actually kind
of a cool spot.

Thanks. I designed it myself.

Nice work.

Yeah... We were voted best new
club in Indianapolis last year.

Congrats.

So why d you drug me asshole?

The money.

- That s it?
- That s it.

Can we put these down now?

Yeah.

So who?

I don t know.
Never met him.

Him?

Yeah. All I know is he told me I
had to contact Leslie Burns.

She d direct you to me, I d slip
you a mickey, put you in a car.

If I did that, he d throw me
twenty grand and be off my back.

No brainer.

What car?

There was a car
out back of my bar.

So you drugged me and you
put me in it. You see the guy?

What guy?

The fucking guy
who drove me away.

No.

Do you have my money?

No.

So he blackmailed you and
then you blackmailed Les.

Yeah, something like that.

You know Evelyn Gillette?

No.

You sure?

I don t know her. Should I?

Where s my fucking car?

They had us park it
at some address.

I have no idea if its
still there.

You know it?

Not sure. Maybe.

Hey look, it was
nothing personal.

You seem like
an alright guy.

You just don t know that well.

It was my best play.

Your best play is to go get that
car and get outta dodge.

What if he blackmails you again?

Then I ll hit head on like I
always do. Super Bowl baby.

Every day.

Hey Mac.

Oh Petey. What s shaking?

If you give me a ride to my
car, I d really appreciate it.

Okay, I ll just get out and you
can have your car back.

I kept her in tip top shape.
Thanks for letting me

borrow it. You re a real mensch.

Close the door, Mac.

I heard you went by my
mom s house tonight.

I did. Met your stepdad.
He s a delight.

Yeah he s alright.
He does what she wants.

Like the rest of us.

She told you where to find me.

Yeah, that s right.

Well Mac,
I m sorry about this.

Fuck!

Hurts huh?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, well now we re even.

Get out of the car.

Look she wants me
to take you to Chicago.

Obviously whatever she did,
she feels bad about it.

- Good she should.
- She does.

Take me to my car.

Where is it?

This address.

Ugh. Let s go inside.

It s fucking cold.

What? I don t think so.
It s romantic.

Romantic.

Are you getting soft on me Mac?

Not a chance.

So I m talking to
this guy at the table and I said

you know the worst fear you
can have is having something and

then being afraid
that you ll lose it.

Anyways, he
stays and I just took everything

from him. I mean
everything that guy had.

Do you feel guilty Shark?

No. Should I?

Probably not.

Good.

I don t.

If you re bored
than you re boring.

What happened to your arm?

I cut it during a bender.

Where was I?

You were out of town
with your husband.

You know speaking of, he s out
of town until tomorrow.

I popped some edibles and I m
feeling nice and relaxed.

Do you have any more?

Not edibles. Other things.

Crossroads of America.

Why stay?

There is nothing better
than going to sleep after seeing

the sunrise. Let s stay
up real late.

Okay. I m game.

Here take these.

What are they?

Don t worry about it.

Okay.

Disregard everything
I say from this moment on.

What, you re going to finally
tell me you love me?

No, I would never do that.

Because you don t?

Cause you re
married Evelyn and I don t think

you want to hear it.

And if I wasn t?

You d probably be a
lot more fun.

You want fun,
I ll show you fun.

Welcome back to
Indianoplace Mac.

It s not so good to be back.

What are you doing here?

I m here for my
money and my car.

I see you still have the gun.

I see you acquired one.

You find some sucker to take
care of your husband?

Same sucker you
used to rob me?

What s he behind
door number two down here or

- something?
- I had some help, he isn t here.

He isn t here or
no longer with us?

Does it matter?

Where s your husband Evelyn?

He s out of town as usual.

And he s not going to
be my husband any longer.

He s leaving me.

Oh. What a shame. You were such
a model wife.

I needed a fresh start.

Need a fresh start
away from here.

I offered you that
eight months ago.

Timing wasn't right.

And it is now?

Now, it s on my terms.

Not yours. And not his.

It was you that gave me the
information on Les.

I knew she
didn t want it out there.

I was waiting for you
to come back and

I m glad that you finally did.

Those were hazy
days Evelyn.

I only remember a few
conversations.

I remember a lot
of bad decisions.

We had some fun.

We had more than that.

You re not going to shoot me,
not in this house?

It d be real
messy in this house.

You shouldn t have broken in.
I feared for my life.

You should.

Mac, please!

Mac please!

Please!

So what do you see
when you look in the mirror?

I try not to.

What do you see?

I see a man
that s living free and easy.

Keys.

Where s my money?

On the table, upstairs.

I m sorry.

Hey kid.

Here s what you lent me.

There s some
extra in there for you too.

Thanks for helping me out.

I hope it helps you once
graduate.

Keep it in a
safe place. Don t lose it.

I won most of it fair and
square. It s clean.

Nobody will
be looking for it.

I m going to hit the road again.
I don t know where I m going.

I ll let you know
when I get there.

Keep moving forward, kid.
Just keep moving.

Ask that girl out. The cute one.

Alright kid.
I ll see you down the road.

Detroit.

I know some
Greeks up there

I can crash with.

Head into
Windsor. Toronto. Ottawa.

Montreal. Quebec City.

Watch some hockey.

Work on my French.

Maybe some new material.

Sounds like a plan.
