HE’S JUST GOING TO WAKE UP AND FIND YOU GONE?

I LEFT HIM A NOTE WITH HIS BREAKFAST.

WELL, WHAT DOES THE NOTE SAY?

IT SAID I LOVED HIM.

THAT’S ALL?

IT SAID NOT TO WORRY.

HOW CAN YOU EXPECT HIM NOT TO WORRY?

I MEAN, A WOMAN WHO GETS UP AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING LEAVES HER HUSBAND.

YOU EXPECT HIM NOT TO WORRY?

NOW, WAIT, JUST A MINUTE, MAMA.

I DID NOT SAY THAT I WAS LEAVING HIM.

I DIDN’T SAY THAT.

I SAID I JUST WANTED TO BE FREE FOR A MINUTE,

FIVE MINUTES, HALF A DAY,

AN HOUR, I DON’T KNOW!

SHH! HEY, SHH.

LOU, BABY, WHY DON’T YOU GO TO BED, TOO, HUH?

WAIT A MINUTE. I DON’T GET THIS.

VINNY’S HOME... ASLEEP?

AND YOU’RE HERE AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING?

SORRY, DADDY, I DIDN’T MEAN TO WAKE YOU UP.

IT’S ALL RIGHT, LOU. I DON’T MIND GETTING WAKED UP.

JUST TELL ME WHAT’S WRONG, HONEY. YOU KNOW, I’M YOUR FATHER.

LOU, IT IS...

IT’S ALL RIGHT IF I TALK IN MY OWN HOUSE?

OH, NATALIE, I... THAT’S WONDERFUL!

THAT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY.

I KNOW.

THEN WHAT--

I KNEW IT WOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY, VINNY.

THAT’S WHY I HAD TO HAVE THE TELEPHONE BETWEEN US.

I JUST HAVE A HUNCH I’M NOT READY TO BE A MOTHER.

I’M NOT EVEN SURE I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A WIFE.

OH, VINNY, I’M GLAD I CAN’T SEE YOUR FACE RIGHT NOW.

NAT...

PLEASE, DON’T YOU DO ANYTHING.

DON’T YOU DO ANYTHING.

MY MOTHER AND I, WE USED TO WALK AROUND THE CAMPUS A LOT

IN WINTER...

AND EVERYONE WOULD SAY HI TO ME, YOU KNOW,

WHEN THEY CAME OUT OF CLASSES.

I’M STILL SORT OF A HERO AT SCHOOL, REALLY.

EVEN THOUGH I COULDN’T PLAY BALL ANYMORE...

THEY GAVE ME A LOT OF MONEY.

LOOK.

PUT IT AWAY.

BE CAREFUL. YOU’LL LOSE IT.

I WON’T LOSE IT.

SOMEONE WILL TAKE IT FROM YOU.

NO, THEY WON’T.

WHY’D THEY GIVE YOU THAT MONEY?

BECAUSE, UH...

BECAUSE I WAS A HERO.

EVERYONE REMEMBERED.

THEY GAVE YOU THAT MONEY AND ASKED YOU TO LEAVE?

WELL, I COULDN’T PLAY BALL ANYMORE.

I DIDN’T HAVE TO GO TO CLASSES ANYMORE.

I DIDN’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING

EXCEPT RAKE THE LEAVES.

THEN THEY GAVE ME THIS, AND, UH...

AND THEY ASKED YOU TO LEAVE.

YEAH.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

I’M GOING TO GET A JOB.

I HAVE HIS ADDRESS, HER FATHER’S.

ALL RIGHT.

WE’LL SEE ABOUT IT TOMORROW.

THANKSGIVING GAME. YEAH, I’LL NEVER FORGET THAT GAME.

WHY DON’T WE ALL JUST COME INTO THE HOUSE?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH,

BUT I REALLY HAVE TO GO NOW.

YOU CAN’T LEAVE HIM HERE.

HEY, ELLEN. YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK DIFFERENT.

WON’T YOU HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE BEFORE YOU GO?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, DIFFERENT?

OH, I DON’T KNOW, BUT, UH, YOU DON’T LOOK THE SAME.

YOU MUST BE TIRED, DRIVING ALL THE WAY FROM NEW YORK.

KILLER, HOW COME YOU CAME HERE?

I AM.

WELL, TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF AND REST.

YOU LOOK NICE, ELLEN, BUT HOW COME YOUR HAIR ISN’T ANY LONGER?

BECAUSE I CUT IT.

OH.

YOU CAN’T LEAVE HIM HERE.

YOU’LL HAVE TO TAKE HIM WITH YOU.

OH, ELLEN!

HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.

ELLEN, I DON’T LIKE IT WHEN YOU’RE RUDE.

ARE YOU A FRIEND OF HIS?

NO, I’M A STRANGER.

PERFECT STRANGER.

WELL, YES, BUT, UH...

YOU’RE THE ONE WHO BROUGHT HIM HERE,

SO I GUESS YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S GONNA HAVE TO TAKE HIM

BACK WHEREVER YOU FOUND HIM, OKAY?

WAIT A MINUTE.

I SAID THAT I WAS A STRANGER.

HE’S YOUR FRIEND. I JUST GAVE HIM A LIFT.

HE’S GOING TO BE WORKING FOR YOUR FATHER.

WELL, I DON’T THINK SO.

UM, ARTIE-- ARTIE SAID I COULD HAVE A JOB.

SHUT UP, KILLER.

OH, ELLEN, THAT’S NOT NICE.

MOTHER, HE DOESN’T CARE WHAT YOU SAY TO HIM,

DO YOU, KILLER?

UH...I DON’T CARE.

I DON’T THINK IT’S RIGHT

TO TALK LIKE THAT TO ANYONE.

WELL, YOU DON’T KNOW KILLER GANNON.

YOU USED TO GO OUT WITH HIM.

YES. BUT THAT WAS BEFORE.

KILLER,

DO THEY KNOW YOU’VE GONE FROM SCHOOL?

OH, YEAH, THEY KNOW.

THEY GAVE ME, UH, THEY GAVE ME $1,000.

I DIDN’T HAVE TO STAY. A THOUSAND.

PUT THE MONEY AWAY.

SARA.

SARA.

[ELLEN] HE’S TALKING TO YOU.

I’M, UH, I’M A LITTLE HUNGRY.

MY HUSBAND WON’T BE HOME FOR A WHILE,

OR I’D INVITE YOU ALL IN FOR DINNER.

HE ALREADY INVITED US FOR DINNER.

HE SAID HE’D BE HOME IN ABOUT HALF AN HOUR.

MOTHER? WELL...

WHY DON’T WE ALL JUST, UH...

GO INTO THE HOUSE THEN?

[ELLEN AND HER MOTHER ARGUING UPSTAIRS]

FOR SOME REASON YOU’RE PRETENDING

THAT NOTHING THAT ANYONE SAYS BOTHERS YOU.

IS THAT RIGHT?

WHY?

YOU’LL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN.

YOU ARE PRETENDING...

AREN’T YOU?

HEY, KILLER, IN FOR 6.

WE COULD THROW THE BALL AROUND.

OH, ELLEN,

WELL, SURPRISED TO SEE THE KILLER, HONEY?

VERY.

MR. BROOK, HE WANTS THE JOB YOU OFFERED HIM.

JOB? WHAT JOB?

OH, AT THE THEATER.

SURE, WHY NOT? ARTIE.

YOU PLANNING TO STAY HERE IN CLARKSBURG, KILLER?

GONNA SETTLE DOWN HERE?

WELL... HMM?

DADDY, YOU DON’T WANT HIM

WORKING FOR YOU IN YOUR THEATER.

WHY NOT, DEAR?

BECAUSE HE CAN’T DO ANYTHING

EXCEPT SWEEP LEAVES.

ISN’T THAT RIGHT, KILLER?

I CAN SWEEP LEAVES.

SURE, YOU CAN.

HERE, SIT DOWN, KILLER.

[ELLEN] AND THAT’S ALL.

DID YOU GET ANY PRO OFFERS?

DADDY. UH, WHAT?

YOU GET SOME PRO OFFERS PLAYING FOOTBALL?

YEAH. ONE.

I’LL BET YOU DID. YOU DIDN’T TAKE IT, HUH?

HUH?

IT’S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

I THOUGHT ELLEN AND YOU MIGHT BE SEEING EACH OTHER...

ARTIE. ARTIE. DAD.

I’LL TELL YOU, KILLER--

DAD!

PLEASE BE QUIET, ARTIE!

YOU AND ELLEN. I THOUGHT YOU--

WOULD YOU PLEASE BE QUIET FOR ONE MINUTE?

WELL, WHAT’S WRONG, HONEY? HE IS A DUNCE.

A RETARDED PERSON,

AND I THINK IT’S EMBARRASSING

TO DRAG IT OUT ANY FURTHER.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

HE GOT BANGED UP IN A GAME.

THEY PUT A PLATE IN HIS HEAD,

AND THAT’S WHAT CAME OUT.

COME ON, KILLER.

YOU DON’T WANT TO STAY HERE.

GOODBYE, ELLEN.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH YOU?

WHY?

I CAN’T GET STUCK WITH YOU.

I CAN’T HANDLE IT.

I’VE GOT MY OWN PROBLEMS.

WHAT PROBLEMS?

I’M GOING TO HAVE A BABY.

A BABY.

A BABY, A BABY, STUPID.

MAYBE I JUST OUGHT TO DROP YOU OFF WITH THE POLICE

AND LET THEM FIGURE YOU OUT.

YOU SURE KNOW HOW TO PICK GIRLFRIENDS.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT’S LIKE TALKING TO MYSELF.

WELL, WHY? I-I’M HERE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

YES.

END OF THE ROAD.

GET OUT HERE.

OPEN THE DOOR.

GET OUT!

TAKE YOUR BAG.

WHY ARE YOU MAD AT ME?

I’M NOT MAD AT YOU.

I JUST CAN’T TAKE CARE OF YOU ANYMORE.

YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF NOW.

YOU’VE GOT SOME MONEY.

YOU STAY IN A MOTEL TONIGHT,

AND TOMORROW YOU’LL BE ABLE TO GET A RIDE.

WELL, WHERE WILL I GO?

HOW IN HELL SHOULD I KNOW?

YOU GO BACK TO THE SCHOOL.

GO BACK TO YOUR MOTHER.

I CAN’T.

GO BACK TO HER. SHE’S YOUR MOTHER.

I--I CAN’T.

WHY NOT?

SHE DIED.

I DON’T CARE!

YOU’RE AN IDIOT!

A RETARDED, IMBECILIC FREAK!

A VEGETABLE!

A STUPID, IDIOTIC IDIOT!

A GODDAMNED IDIOT.

I ONLY PICKED YOU UP IN THE FIRST PLACE

BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WANTED TO MAKE IT WITH SOMEBODY NEW,

AND I END UP WITH A FREAK.

GET IN THE CAR.

DON’T YOU SEE?

I...I CAN HARDLY TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

[MARCHING MUSIC PLAYS]

COME AND SEE THIS.

I CAN’T.

I MEAN, I...

BECAUSE YOU’RE THE MAN.

AND YOU’RE THE ONE THAT’S TRYING TO TRAP ME

AND TURN ME INTO A DOMESTICATED WIFE WITH A BUNCH OF KIDS.

I THINK IT’S ME.

I MEAN, I... IT’S MY FAULT.

I’M THE ONE WHO’S MISLED YOU.

I DON’T EVEN WANT TO GET UP.

I HATE TO COOK,

I COULD HELP.

BUT I WAS WRONG.

BECAUSE IT’S REALLY IN YOUR LAP.

LOOK, YOU JUST TOLD ME YOU’RE IRRESPONSIBLE.

BUT NOW, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT,

YOU’RE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF

AND FOR THAT BABY THAT YOU’RE CARRYING.

NOW, LISTEN, THESE ARE A BUNCH OF--

THESE A BUNCH OF DUMB ANIMALS.

WASN’T FOR ME, THEY’D BE RUN OVER BY TOURISTS ON THE HIGHWAY...

OR ELSE END UP IN SOMEBODY’S SOUP.

DO YOU--DO YOU HAVE A LADIES ROOM?

YES, MA’AM, WE DO-- WHERE IT SAYS "DOLLS."

[GOOSE HONKS]

SON...

GIVE ME YOUR MONEY.

I’LL PUT IT IN MY SAFE.

DID SHE SAY IT WAS O. K.?

WELL, WHO’S SHE, YOUR MOTHER?

NO, SHE’S MY FRIEND.

SHE’S MY BEST FRIEND.

YEAH, WELL, NOW I’M YOUR BEST FRIEND.

AND I TELL YOU,

YOUR MONEY ISN’T SAFE UNLESS IT’S IN MY SAFE.

SEE, THAT’S WHY THEY CALL IT A SAFE ’CAUSE MONEY’S SAFE THERE.

DON’T EVEN HAVE THE COMBINATION WRITTEN DOWN ANYWHERE.

THAT’S ALL RIGHT.

MR. ALFRED, COULD I ASK YOU ONE QUESTION?

YEAH, SHOOT.

WHAT IF KILLER WANTS TO QUIT?

SO HE QUITS. WHAT’S KEEPIN’ HIM HERE?

HIS MONEY IN YOUR SAFE.

LOOK, WE CAN FORGET THE WHOLE THING IF YOU WANT TO.

TAKE HIM WITH YOU.

I CAN’T.

[CAR ENGINE STARTS]

[SIREN]

YOU KNOW HOW FAST YOU WERE DRIVING, MISS?

TOO FAST?

YOU WERE DRIVING 73 MILES PER HOUR

IN A 65-MILE- AN-HOUR ZONE.

I’M SORRY.

YOUR LICENSE, PLEASE?

TAKE THE LICENSE OUT OF YOUR WALLET, MISS.

ARE YOU MARRIED?

YES, I AM.

REGISTRATION?

NEW YORK.

YOUR HUSBAND ON THIS TRIP, MA’AM?

IS THAT PART OF YOUR ROUTINE QUESTIONING?

IF I SAY SO.

NO. MY HUSBAND IS NOT ON THIS TRIP.

YOU DIVORCED, MA’AM?

NO, SHE’S NOT DIVORCED.

WHO?

SHE. ME.

YOUR HUSBAND’S BACK IN NEW YORK?

YES, HE IS.

[POLICE RADIO PLAYS]

LICENSE PLATE 5720J8.

YOU CHECKING UP ON ME?

NOT YOU. THE CAR, MA’AM.

INCREDIBLE.

I WAS SICK TO MY STOMACH

A FEW MINUTES AGO.

NOW I FEEL MUCH BETTER.

GOOD.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING SO FAR FROM HOME

WITHOUT YOUR HUSBAND?

I’M GETTING A TICKET.

[POLICE RADIO PLAYS]

MA’AM...

I’LL FORGET ABOUT ENTERING THE MAJOR HIGHWAY

WITHOUT SIGNALING,

BUT I’M AFRAID I’LL HAVE TO GIVE YOU

THIS SPEEDING CITATION.

COULD I PAY YOU?

YOU OFFERING ME A BRIBE?

SO HELP ME GOD,

THE LADY IS NOT OFFERING YOU A BRIBE.

SHE IS NOT OFFERING YOU...

ANYTHING.

SHE JUST WANTS TO KNOW

WHAT AND WHERE SHE HAS TO PAY.

WELL, SHE PAYS THE FINE AT THE JUDGE’S.

WHERE’S THAT?

ALFRED’S REPTILE RANCH.

Y-YOU’RE KIDDING ME.

PAY AT THE CURIO COUNTER.

I--I--I CAN’T GO BACK THERE.

YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO. NOW, YOU FOLLOW ME.

I CAN’T GO BACK THERE!

[POLICE RADIO PLAYS]

WE DON’T HAVE TO GO BACK TO ALFRED’S?

CAN I BUY YOU A CUP OF COFFEE?

SURE.

ARE YOU ON SOME KIND OF...

TRIP?

YES.

WHERE?

WEST.

WHERE WEST? CALIFORNIA?

YES.

WHY CALIFORNIA?

IT’S AS FAR WEST AS I CAN GO.

I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU WERE GOING TO MEET YOUR HUSBAND.

NO.

LISTEN, GORDON...

I DON’T REALLY HAVE TO GO BACK TO ALFRED’S, DO I?

I MEAN, IF I GIVE YOU THE MONEY,

YOU COULD PAY THIS TICKET FOR ME, COULDN’T YOU?

THAT’S A PROBLEM.

WHY?

I ALREADY WROTE THE CITATION.

THE PAPERS GO IN, YOU GOT TO GO.

I’LL GO WITH YOU. THEN LATER ON,

MAYBE I COULD TAKE THE NEW YORK LADY

TO SEE A MOVIE WITH ME OR SOMETHING...

JUST TO PAY HER BACK.

IT’S NOT THE MONEY.

THERE’S SOMEBODY AT ALFRED’S THAT I DON’T WANT TO SEE.

YOUR HUSBAND?

NO, NOT MY HUSBAND.

BUT SOMEBODY.

DON’T WORRY. I’LL GET YOU OUT OF THERE IN A FLASH.

WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?

YOU’LL GET ME OUT OF THERE IN A "FLASH..."

GORDON.

[LAUGHS]

OH, JEEZ.

[LAUGHING]

[LAUGHING]

[LAUGHS]

[CHEEPING]

[ANIMALS CRASHING INTO THINGS]

[GORDON] IS ALFRED AROUND?

HEY! HEY!

HEY--YOU!

GET HIM OUT OF THERE! GET THE CHICKENS.

HEY!

[CHEEPING]

GET HIM-- GET HIM OUT! HEY! HEY!

NO, W-W-WAIT.

DON’T. L-LISTEN, IT’S ALL RIGHT.

I CAN MAKE HIM STOP.

KILLER?

YOU GOT TO STOP IT.

YOU’VE GOT YOURSELF IN A LOT OF TROUBLE NOW.

I DON’T CARE.

KILLER...

KILLER, YOU GOTTA CARE ABOUT YOURSELF

BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE WILL.

YOU WILL.

NO.

NOT ME.

I CAN’T.

YOU CAME BACK.

I DIDN’T WANT TO.

HE BROUGHT ME BACK.

I GOT A SPEEDING TICKET

FOR TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM YOU IN A HURRY.

ALL RIGHT.

[ALFRED] IS SOMEBODY GONNA STOP HIM?

DON’T. IT’S ALL RIGHT. COME ON, KILLER, STOP IT.

ARE YOU FINISHED?

YEAH.

GORDON...

DO YOU HAVE TO ARREST HIM?

YEAH, YOU’RE GODDAMN RIGHT HE HAS TO ARREST HIM!

WHOO! WHOOEE!

WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY?

WHAT MONEY?

THE MONEY IN YOUR SAFE.

$1,000.

THERE’S NO $1,000 IN MY SAFE.

I AIN’T EVEN GOT A SAFE.

GORDON, HAVE I GOT A SAFE?

NOT THAT I KNOW OF.

YOU SAID YOU HAD A SAFE.

YOU TOLD HIM YOU HAD A SAFE.

LISTEN, WHERE WOULD A DUMB-DUMB LIKE THAT GET HOLD $1,000?

THEY GAVE IT TO HIM TO LIVE ON.

LOOK, IF YOU KEEP THAT $1,000

IN YOUR SAFE THAT YOU DON’T HAVE,

HE’S AS GOOD AS DEAD.

TH-THAT’S...

THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEAN.

ALL RIGHT, I’LL TELL YOU WHAT I’M GONNA DO.

I’LL KEEP THE $1,000 AND DROP THE CHARGES.

HE NEEDS MONEY. IT’S ALL HE HAS.

HE DOESN’T-- DOESN’T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.

ALL RIGHT, I’M GONNA GIVE HIM $100.

HOW’S HE GOING TO LIVE ON $100?

IT’S NO BUSINESS OF MINE HOW HE LIVES!

IT ISN’T MINE, EITHER--

ALL RIGHT, $200! AND THAT’S IT, GORDON.

GO ON, TAKE IT!

GORDON...

KILLER!

THANK HIM.

THANK YOU, MR. ALFRED.

JUST GET HIM OUTTA HERE!

HEY! WAIT A MINUTE!

WAIT IN THE CAR.

HI.

HI. WHAT’S YOUR NAME?

KILLER.

TELL ME, KILLER, WHAT’S THE LADY’S STORY?

SHE’S RUN AWAY FROM HER HUSBAND.

IS THAT SO? WHAT FOR?

OH, SHE DOESN’T KNOW.

IS THERE ANY CHANCE OF HIM SHOWING UP HERE?

HOW ABOUT TONIGHT? I THOUGHT YOU AND ME

WAS GONNA GO SEE A MOVIE OR SOMETHING.

WE DID DISCUSS THAT.

WELL, WHERE YOU STAYING AT?

I DON’T KNOW.

WHAT ABOUT HIM?

NOTHING ABOUT HIM. I EXPLAINED ABOUT THAT.

WELL, IF YOU CAN DUMP HIM, YOU CAN STAY WITH ME.

I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO A MOVIE... OR SOMETHING.

SURE, I’LL TAKE YOU TO SEE A MOVIE.

KILLER?

YEAH?

I LIKE YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU DO? YOU LIKE ME?

YES.

VERY MUCH.

DO YOU LOVE ME?

I DON’T KNOW.

MAYBE I DO.

I LOVE YOU.

I DON’T THINK YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SAYING.

I ALWAYS KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING.

I BELIEVE YOU.

BELIEVE ME.

I BELIEVE YOU.

BELIEVE ME.

I BELIEVE YOU.

BUT DO YOU LOVE ME?

A LITTLE BIT.

WELL, WHY CAN’T I STAY WITH YOU?

BECAUSE THERE’S A MAN BACK THERE

WITH A BLACK LEATHER SUIT WHO’S VERY INTERESTING.

OH.

YOU SIT THERE LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.

I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.

YOU’RE NOT BEING HONEST WITH ME.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO BE HONEST WITH ME?

OH, I’M ALWAYS HONEST WITH YOU.

GO TO HELL.

AT LEAST I KNOW YOU’LL BE TAKEN CARE OF THERE.

LISTEN, KILLER...

I’VE GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS

THAT I WANT TO DO BEFORE 6:00.

I’M GETTING OLDER.

I CAN TELL UNDER MY EYES.

YOU JUST GOING TO FOLLOW ME AROUND OR WHAT?

WONDER IF I CAN FIND

AN EXCUSE FOR A DRESS IN THIS TOWN.

SO...

YOU’RE JUST GOING TO SIT IN THE CAR

WHILE I GO OUT ON A HEAVY DATE, HUH?

THERE.

DOES THAT DO IT FOR YOU?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

[RING]

[OPERATOR] HELLO. THIS IS LONG DISTANCE CALLING,

AND I HAVE A COLLECT CALL FOR ANYONE AT THIS NUMBER

FROM MRS. RAVENNA IN OGALLALA, NEBRASKA.

DO YOU ACCEPT CHARGES?

[VINNY] YES.

[OPERATOR] GO AHEAD, MA’AM.

VINNY?

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN NEBRASKA?

SAME THING I DID IN TENNESSEE.

GOD DAMN IT, I’M GOING CRAZY OVER HERE.

YOU SAID YOU’D-- LOOK, I HAD NO WAY

OF REACHING YOU, NAT. WHY DIDN’T YOU CALL ME?

I’M SORRY.

VINNY, I--I’M SORRY.

YOU WERE SO ANGRY AT ME.

HOW CAN I HELP BEING ANGRY?

I’VE BEEN SITTING BY THIS GODDAMN TELEPHONE

FOR THREE DAYS. I HAVEN’T MOVED FROM THE HOUSE.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHETHER YOU’RE ALIVE OR DEAD?

YOU DON’T CALL ME. I HAVE NO WAY

OF GETTING IN TOUCH WITH YOU.

YOU BITCH!

PLEASE GET ON A PLANE AND COME HOME.

I CAN’T.

GODDAMN, I’M GONNA FLY TO NEBRASKA.

VINNY, YOU’D NEVER FIND ME.

LOOK, NATALIE, I’LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT.

ANYTHING. I SWEAR IT.

BUT JUST COME BACK.

LOOK...

I’LL CHANGE. I’LL CHANGE. I’LL DO ANYTHING.

I’LL QUIT MY JOB. I’LL--

LOOK, IF... IF YOU WANT TO LOSE THE BABY,

IT’S O. K.

IT’S O. K.

LOOK, I FOUND OUT WE CAN--

WE CAN GO TO TOKYO.

WE CAN GO TO A HOSPITAL.

LOOK, IT’LL BE O.K. IF YOU D--

IF YOU DON’T WANT KIDS, IT’LL BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE THEM. JUST COME HOME.

NATALIE, WHEN WILL I SEE YOU?

TELL ME ON YOUR TERMS.

JUST COME BACK, NATALIE.

[THUMP] I NEED--

VINNY?

VINNY?

WHY’D YOU DO THAT?

UH, I WANT YOU TO TALK TO ME.

BUT...

BUT YOU...

YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THAT TO HIM!

YOU...

WHY’D YOU DO THAT TO...HIM?

I’VE HAD IT WITH YOU.

I WANT NOTHING MORE TO DO WITH YOU.

YOU HURT ME.

YOU JUST BEAT IT!

YOU HURT ME!

GO TO SLEEP, ROSALIE.

MY DAUGHTER.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

GO BACK TO SLEEP.

JESUS CHRIST, I’M WOKE UP ALREADY.

QUIT SAYING "JESUS CHRIST" EVERY SECOND.

WELL, GODDAMN, YOU DO.

IF YOU DON’T GO BACK TO SLEEP, YOU GET A CRACK IN THE FACE!

I’M COLD.

PUT ON THE REST OF YOUR PAJAMAS

AND TAKE OFF THAT STUPID BRASSIERE.

IT’S NOT STUPID. TAKE IT OFF!

THIS IS NATALIE.

SAY "HOW DO YOU DO" AND GO BACK TO SLEEP.

HOW DO YOU DO, AND I’M NOT TIRED.

CAN I HAVE A COKE? NOPE.

YOU DON’T GO TO SLEEP, YOU KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING.

YEAH, I KNOW.

[NATALIE CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLING]

CAN I WATCH?

YOU LITTLE BITCH. I’M GONNA BREAK YOUR ASS.

SCREW YOU, PAPA!

COME OUT OF THERE!

SO YOU CAN BREAK MY LITTLE ASS?

YOU LITTLE BITCH! HOW MANY TIMES I GOT TO TELL YA

NOT TO TALK LIKE A GODDAMN LITTLE TRAMP!

LET ME WEAR MY BRASSIERE, PAPA.

NO, GOD DAMN IT, IT’S STUPID!

IF YOU LET ME...

I’LL COME OUT...

AND I’LL GO OUTSIDE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.

HUH?

ALL RIGHT!

CAN I WEAR MY BRASSIERE?

YEAH.

WHEN I COME OUT, I WON’T GET A CRACK IN THE FACE?

YEAH.

YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN’T HIT HER.

WELL, IT’S NOT FAIR SHE LOCKS HERSELF IN THE CAN.

I GOT TO DISCIPLINE HER. SHE DON’T HAVE A MOTHER.

YOU HEAR THE LANGUAGE SHE USES?

IT’S VERY HARD TO RAISE A LITTLE GIRL WHEN SHE DOESN’T HAVE A MOTHER.

SHE SHOULDN’T BE OUTSIDE NOW.

SHE SPENDS HALF HER TIME OUT THERE LIKE A LITTLE CAT.

I SWEAR SHE CAN SEE IN THE DARK. I CAN’T CONTROL HER.

SHE’D BE OUT THERE IN AN HOUR ANYWAY PLAYING UNDER THINGS.

NOW, FORGET HER.

I’M NOT GOING TO STAY.

WHY?

I JUST-- I JUST DON’T WANT TO ANYMORE.

BUT I WANT TO MAKE SOME COFFEE. NOW, RELAX.

I DON’T LIKE COFFEE.

I’VE GOT SOME BOURBON. NOW, RELAX.

[THUMP THUMP]

FORGET HER.

[CLANG]

[CLANG]

[CLANG]

I HOPE YOU FREEZE YOUR TWO BARE ASSES OFF!

UNGRATEFUL LITTLE BITCH.

I LET HER WEAR HER BRASSIERE.

MEOW.

MEOW.

MEOW.

MEOW.

I’LL TURN ON THE POWER.

NO, THAT’S ALL RIGHT. LEAVE IT OFF.

TURN YOUR FLASHLIGHT OFF.

THAT’S BETTER.

HELLO, GORDON.

YEAH?

I LIKE THAT.

IT’S LIKE TALKING ON THE TELEPHONE.

GORDON?

YEAH?

YOU HAVE ANY RECORDS?

I HAVE SOME OLD ONES.

GORDON?

HMM?

WHERE’S YOUR WIFE?

I LOST MY WIFE AND A BABY BOY

WHEN MY HOUSE CAUGHT FIRE FOUR YEARS AGO.

I’M SORRY.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING.

I’M SORRY SHE DIED THAT WAY,

BUT IT WAS AN UNSUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE.

SHE SPENT MOST OF HER TIME CRYING...

AND I SPENT MINE FIGURING OUT WAYS

I COULD GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.

AT ONE POINT THERE, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LEAVE ALTOGETHER.

I’LL TURN ON THE POWER.

MEOW.

I HANG AROUND HERE A LOT AT NIGHT

WHENEVER MY FATHER BRINGS A HOOKER INTO THE TIN CAN.

I’M ALMOST ALWAYS HANGING AROUND HERE AT NIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I DO?

YEAH.

WHAT, SMART ASS?

YOU LOOK IN ALL THE WINDOWS.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

JESUS, YOU’RE SMART.

YOU MUST BE THE SMARTEST MAN I EVER MET.

[ARGUING]

SHE’S ALWAYS BRAGGING ABOUT HOW MUCH SHE LOVES HER HUSBAND.

IF SHE LOVES HIM SO MUCH,

HOW COME SHE SPENDS THE WHOLE NIGHT YELLING AT HIM?

ONCE I SAW A LADY AND HER HUSBAND MAKING IT.

ONLY HE WASN’T HER HUSBAND, AND SHE WAS NO LADY.

’CAUSE 10 MINUTES LATER, I SAW HER HUSBAND IN SOMEBODY ELSE’S TRAILER.

IT’S VERY COMPLICATED.

Look at me.

Come on.

Don’t stall me.

Don’t stall me.

[LAUGHS]

Come on.

GORDON...

WHAT DO YOU WANT OUT OF ME?

SHH. DON’T TALK.

COME ON. SHH.

TALK TO ME.

SHH.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT?

WHAT?

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT?

NOTHING.

YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING.

TELL ME.

YOU.

I’M THINKING ABOUT YOU.

NO, YOU’RE NOT.

MM-HMM.

MM-HMM.

OH, NICE.

NICE.

HEY.

COME ON.

GET IN HERE. GET IN HERE.

I’VE GOT YOU ALL WRONG.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I’VE GOT ME ALL WRONG.

GORDON...

WHAT?

SHH.

LISTEN.

WHAT?

LISTEN.

WHAT?

WHAT DO YOU HEAR?

WHAT DO YOU HEAR?

NOTHING.

I LOVE YOUR HAIR.

JESUS, YOUR HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL.

AND YOUR SMILE.

YOU’VE GOT THAT FUNNY SMILE.

DON’T EVER CUT YOUR HAIR.

GORDON, YOU’RE NOT TALKING TO ME.

YOU’RE TALKING TO HER.

WHO?

HER.

YOUR WIFE.

I HATED HER. I HATED BEING MARRIED TO HER.

I WAS GOING TO BUST OUT. I WAS GONNA LEAVE HER.

I MARRIED HER ’CAUSE SHE GOT PREGNANT.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT SHE DID IT ON PURPOSE.

AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS,

I WAS SICK OF LOOKING AT HER.

SOMETIMES I’D LEAVE SO EARLY AND COME BACK SO LATE,

I WOULDN’T SEE HER FOR A WHOLE WEEK.

SHE MEANT NOTHING TO ME.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

GORDON...

I DON’T WANT TO STAY.

I WANT TO LEAVE NOW.

WHY?

NEVER MIND.

NEW YORK BITCH.

YOU’VE BEEN STALLING ME ALL NIGHT.

I’M SORRY.

LOOK, I-I’M REALLY VERY SORRY, GORDON,

BUT I HAVE TO LEAVE NOW.

I’M NOT GOING TO LET YOU GO NOW.

LOOK, YOU DON’T WANT ME.

DON’T TELL ME WHAT I WANT.

YOU WANT YOUR WIFE BACK.

FORGET ABOUT MY WIFE!

LISTEN, LET GO OF ME! JESUS!

MY WIFE’S DEAD!

LET ME GO!

AAH!

NEW YORK BITCH! I’M GOING TO HAVE YOUR ASS!

PLEASE...

PLEASE.

PLEASE, GORDON,

DON’T HURT ME.

I’M PREGNANT.

I’M GOING TO HAVE A BABY.

NOW, PLEASE, JUST LET ME GO HOME.

PAPA!

GORDON, IT’S YOUR LITTLE GIRL.

OPEN THE DOOR.

LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS.

UHH!

AAH!

STOP!

KILLER, STOP IT!

YOU CAN STOP! AAH!

PLEASE, WILL YOU STOP IT?

STOP IT.

LISTEN TO ME.

UHH! [NATALIE] KILLER!

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

[CROWD] 4, 3, 2, 1...

[GUNSHOT]

[HORNS BLOW, CROWD CHEERS]

KILLER.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO.

YOU CAN STAY WITH ME.

IT’LL BE ALL RIGHT. YOU’LL SEE.

I’LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

I’LL PROTECT YOU.

VINNY...

VINNY WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

I’LL CALL HIM.

HE’LL COME HERE, AND HE’LL TAKE US BOTH BACK.

AND YOU’LL COME-- YOU’LL COME AND YOU’LL LIVE WITH US.

AND WE’LL BE A FAMILY...

[SOBBING]

YOU AND ME AND VINNY.

I PROMISE YOU, KILLER.

KILLER, I PROMISE YOU.

VINNY WILL LIKE YOU, AND...

AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE BY YOURSELF ANYMORE.

[NATALIE] GOD...
