[ Man ]
ADAM AND EVE
JUST HAD SEX, RIGHT ?

AND GOD SAYS TO ADAM,
"WHERE'S EVE ?"

SO ADAM SAYS, "SHE'S DOWN
AT THE STREAM WASHING OFF."

AND GOD SAYS, "DAMN,
NOW I'LL NEVER GET THAT SMELL
OUT OF THOSE FISH !"

[ Men Laughing ]
[ Woman ] YOU REALLY THINK
THAT'S FUNNY, DON'T YOU ?

I BET EVERY MAN HERE
THINKS THAT'S FUNNY.

[ Man #2 ]
EASE UP, HUH ?
ALL OF YOU.

WOMEN. CHRIST.

GETTIN' TO BE
A REAL PAIN IN THE ASS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH
THE WAY IT USED TO BE WHEN YOU
JUST DID WHAT YOU WERE TOLD.

[ Woman #2 ]
FUCK YOU, HOPPER.

[ Hopper ]
I DO, EVERY NIGHT,
ME AND MY JAR OF VASELINE.

I COULD FUCK ANY WOMAN I WANT.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO
MAKE HER COME.

[ Woman #2 ] REALLY ? I'D
RATHER GET FUCKED BY A VIBRATOR
THAN YOUR COCK ANY DAY.

IT'S HONEST, LOVING,

AND I DON'T HAVE TO MAKE
BREAKFAST FOR IT IN THE MORNING.
[ People Laughing ]

YOU REMIND ME OF MY EX-WIFE.
SHE HAD AN ANSWER
FOR EVERYTHING.

LIKE WHENEVER PEOPLE
WOULD ASK HER WHAT I DID,
SHE'D SAY, "HE STRUGGLES."

[ Woman #3 ]
YOU GUYS. YOU ALL THINK
YOU'RE THE VICTIM.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. I THINK
WE'RE TAKIN' A BUM RAP HERE.

I HAPPEN TO BE
A VERY GIVING LOVER.

[ Woman #1 ]
YEAH, YOU'RE GIVING, ALL RIGHT.
YOU GAVE HALF THE CITY THE CLAP.

[ Laughing ]
[ Man #3 ]
ALL RIGHT. ENOUGH.

MR. GRADY, YOU'VE BEEN
AWFULLY QUIET.

I KNOW IT'S
YOUR FIRST NIGHT
WITH THE GROUP,

BUT, UH,
IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU'D LIKE TO SAY ?

NO, I, UH--

I JUST CAME AS A GUEST.
MY BUDDY HOPPER
OVER HERE BROUGHT ME.

[ Man #3 ] I KNOW,
BUT SURELY YOU MUST HAVE
SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT ALL THIS.

I MEAN,
YOU ARE PLANNING
TO STAY WITH US ?

ME ? WHY ME ?
I'M-- I'M HAPPY.

BEEN MARRIED TO THE SAME WOMAN
FOR 11 YEARS.

BEEN TOGETHER
EVER SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.
WE HAVE TWO KIDS.

[ Woman #2 ] CUT THE CRAP.
YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE
IF SOMETHING WASN'T BUGGIN' YOU.

I TOLD YOU.
I'M HERE WITH HOPPER.
I HAVE A GREAT MARRIAGE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
ALL THESE...

HANG-UPS WITH YOU PEOPLE.

I'VE NEVER CHEATED ON MY WIFE
IN THE WHOLE TEN YEARS
WE'VE BEEN MARRIED.

[ Woman #2 ]
I THOUGHT IT WAS 11.

[ Woman #3 ]
I'VE NEVER MET A MAN YET
WHO'D ADMIT HE WAS A LOUSY LAY.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN ?
YOU THINK EVERYTHING
HAS TO DO WITH SEX ?

ADMIT IT. YOU'RE
A LOUSY LAY, AND SHE'S
LEARNED TO ACCEPT IT.

[ Woman #2 ]
LIKE WE ALL HAD TO.
[ Woman #3 ] SING IT.

WAIT A MINUTE.
NOW, YOU THINK I'M A LOUSY LAY.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ?

YOU GOT IT.

I AM NOT THE ONE WHO COMPLAINS
HOW TIRED I AM EVERY NIGHT.

GETTING HER TO MAKE LOVE
IS LIKE ASKING HER TO RUN
THE BOSTON MARATHON,

AND THEN THOSE TIMES
THAT WE ACTUALLY DO
GO THROUGH WITH IT,

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER
TO EMBRACE HER OR EMBALM HER.

SO DON'T TELL ME
THAT I'M A LOUSY LAY--

WHAT AM I SAYING ?
WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE ?

???? [ Fanfare ]
[ Applause ]

WELL, THANK YOU,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

I'M GRATEFUL
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

IT IS TRULY AN HONOR
TO BE NAMED MISS LIBERTY 1984.

I HAVE DREAMED OF THIS MOMENT
ALL MY LIFE,

AND I PROMISE I SHALL
CARRY THE NAME...

WITH DIGNITY AND WITH PRIDE.

I WILL ALWAYS SERVE
MY COUNTRY...

AND BE A SHINING BEACON OF HOPE
TO NATIONS THE WORLD OVER,

SPREADIN' THE TRUE SPIRIT
OF FREEDOM AND LIBERTY...

THAT IS AMERICA.

OH, WE'RE VERY PROUD
OF YOU, MISS LIBERTY.

[ Both Laughing ]

WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO
WITH YOUR SCHOLARSHIP MONEY ?

WELL, I PLAN
TO STUDY MUSIC, SIR.

MUSIC, DO YOU SAY ? WHAT KIND
OF INSTRUMENT DO YOU PLAY ?

I PLAY THE FLUTE, SIR,
IN HONOR OF OUR FOREFATHERS...

WHO DIED AT CONCORD
AND LEXINGTON.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE HOW
MISS LIBERTY PLAYS THE FLUTE ?

OH, YES. YES, VERY MUCH.

FIRST,
I UNZIP THE CASE.

AND THEN I TAKE OUT
THE INSTRUMENT VERY CAREFULLY.

I'M VERY GENTLE.
AND THEN I RUN
MY LITTLE HAND ALL OVER IT.

UP AND DOWN...

AND UP AND DOWN.

AND THEN I--
I FONDLE IT SO SOFTLY,

SO SOFTLY.

MMM, I LOVE
THE LOOK OF IT.
[ Moaning ]

OH, I LOVE
THE FEEL OF IT.

SO SMOOTH AND FIRM.

OH, I LIKE TO WRAP
MY FINGERS AROUND IT
AND TENDERLY CARESS IT.

THEN I LIKE
TO LIFT IT TO MY MOUTH...

AND WRAP MY LIPS AROUND IT.

AND THEN I JUST WAIT
FOR THAT SWEET, SWEET MUSIC...

TO COME POURIN' OUT.

OH ! FUCKING INCREDIBLE ! OH !

???? [ Pop ]

[ Panting ]

[ Grunting, Groaning ]

[ Sniffing ]

OHHH ! OW !

FUCKING INCREDIBLE !

OHHH !

OH, FUCKING
INCREDIBLE !

OHHH !

[ Chuckles ]
I KNEW IT WOULD BE.

YOU KNEW
IT WOULD BE, TOO,
DIDN'T YOU, HUH ?

[ Man Laughs ]
[ Music Stops ]

WE KNOW EACH OTHER SO WELL.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ?

[ Chuckles ]
WHAT'D YOU SAY YOUR NAME WAS ?

CHINA BLUE.

NAH, I MEAN YOUR REAL NAME.

MISS LIBERTY.
[ Chuckles ]

WELL, THAT WAS SOME GAME
OF YOURS, MISS LIBERTY.
[ Gargling ]

YOU WANTED ROMANCE.

LOOK, UH, MY NAME IS CARL,
AND I JUST SPLIT UP
WITH MY WIFE.

IT'S GETTIN' LATE, BABE.
TIME TO MOVE.

WELL, CAN I
SEE YOU AGAIN ?
[ Chuckles ]

I WORK THE STREET.
KEEP AN EYE OUT.

IT'S JUST THAT IT'S BEEN
SO LONG SINCE I GOT
A HARD-ON JUST...

LOOKIN' AT SOMEONE.

WE WERE MARRIED
12 YEARS.

SHE JUST
WALKED OUT ON ME.
JUST LIKE THAT.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT WAS
I DID WRONG.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

MY EX BEAT IT OUT THE DOOR
WHEN HE WAS TIRED
OF BEATIN' ME.

IS THAT TRUE ?

DOES IT MATTER ?

[ Snickers ]
YEAH. WELL.

I'LL SEE YA AROUND,
CHINA BLUE.

OH, PUT THE CASH
ON THE DRESSER.

????
[ Sniffing ]

HEY ! FUCK !

"DEAR GOD, THE HEATHEN ARE
COME INTO THINE INHERITANCE;

"THY HOLY CHAPEL
HAVE THEY DEFILED;

"THEY HAVE LAID JERUSALEM
ON HEAPS.

THEIR BLOOD HAVE THEY SHED
LIKE WATER AROUND JERUSALEM."

LIKE-- LIKE-- LIKE--
[ Man ]
THIS GUY'S CRAZY.

LIKE THEY FUCK AND
THEY PISS AND THEY SHIT LIKE
THE FUCKING SCUM THAT THEY ARE.

DEAR GOD,
THAT WAS NOT ME.

THAT WAS
THE SPIRIT OF LUCIFER.

FORGIVE ME, LORD.
FORGIVE ME.

"HOW LONG, LORD ?
SHALT THOU BE ANGRY FOREVER ?

SHALL THEY JEALOUSLY
BURN LIKE FIRE ?"

SHALL WE KEEP ON
FUCKING AND PISSING
IN EACH OTHER'S FACES ?

[ Sobbing ]

FORGIVE ME, LORD.
THAT WAS--

THAT--
THAT WAS NOT ME.

YOU, CHILD,
VICTIM OF THE NIGHT.

I AM THE REVEREND PETER SHAYNE,
AND I KNOW THE PLAGUE
THAT CRIPPLES YOU.

I'VE BEEN SENT BY THE LORD
TO SAVE YOU AND TO RID
THE EARTH OF THAT PLAGUE.

I AM HIS HOLY MESSENGER.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE ME, CHILD ?

SORRY.

I NEVER FORGET A FACE.

ESPECIALLY WHEN
I'VE SAT ON IT.

- SAVE YOUR SOUL, WHORE.
- SAVE YOUR MONEY, SHITHEAD.

[ Hopper ] I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T THINK THEY'D
COME DOWN ON YOU SO HARD.

FORGET IT. COME IN
AND SEE THE SHOP.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT
FOR A WHILE.

HEY, JERRY !
[ Laughing ]
WHAT DO YOU SAY, GRADY ?

HOW COME YOU'RE STILL HERE ?
I THOUGHT MOLLY WAS SICK.

OH, THEY'RE COMING
TO PICK THIS UP TOMORROW.

CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE
CUSTOMERS, YOU KNOW.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
I'LL FINISH IT UP.

GET OUTTA HERE.
YOUR WIFE IS SICK.
YOU SHOULD BE HOME.

THANKS, GRADY.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE THE ONLY
ONE LEFT WHO GIVES A DAMN.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, HOPPER ?
JERRY !

STEP ON IT.
[ Laughing ]

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF ?
STEP ON IT.

[ Bullet Ricochets,
Man Shouting ]
WE'VE GOT YOU SURROUNDED !

STILL PLAYING
GAMES, HUH ?
IT'LL SCARE
THE HELL OUT OF ANY THIEF.

KEEP YOUR HANDS UP !
[ Explosion ]

BOBBY, ABOUT THAT SESSION.
I KNOW THINGS MUST BE
PRETTY ROUGH AT HOME.

THINGS ARE GREAT.
I JUST GOT A LITTLE
WOUND UP, THAT'S ALL.

LIKE I SAID,
STILL PLAYING GAMES.

YEAH, WELL,
YOU SHOULD TALK,

ALL THE BODIES FLOATIN'
IN AND OUTTA THAT BED.

THAT'S SOME KINDA LIFE, PAL.
SPEND HALF OF IT
CHANGING SHEETS.

SHEILA CALLED ME YESTERDAY
FOR THE FIRST TIME
SINCE THE DIVORCE.

STILL CAN'T
LET HER GO, BOBBY.

[ Bobby ]
WELL, I GOT
A GREAT IDEA.

AMY INVITED SHEILA
TO THE BARBECUE ON SUNDAY
WITH TOMMY AND PATTY.

SO WHY DON'T YOU COME ?
BE JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.

[ Gum Pops ]

[ Keys Jangling ]

[ Floorboards

WHO'S THERE ?

[ Chain Rattling ]

[ Pop ]
[ Shrieking ]

[ China Blue ]

[ Yelping ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Groaning, Exhaling ]

[ Sighing ]

DIDN'T HURT YOU,
DID I ?
[ Chuckles ]

PLAYED A LITTLE ROUGHER
THIS TIME THAN USUAL.
[ Groaning ]

AW, DON'T WORRY,
SWEETDICK.
I'M TOUGH.

"SWEETDICK" ?
[ Chuckles ]

DO ME A FAVOR NEXT TIME.
DON'T WALK SO FAST.

HARD TO KEEP UP.
[ Laughs ]

MAYBE I SHOULD
RAPE YOU, HUH ?

ONE WAY TO GET BACK
AT YOUR OLD MAN.
SORRY ?

YOUR FATHER.
I KNOW HE RAPED YOU
WHEN YOU WERE A KID.

YOU TOLD ME THE FIRST TIME
WE GOT TOGETHER.

OH, YEAH.
I FORGOT.

YOU SAID YOU TRUSTED ME.
I DO.

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
I'VE TOLD.

IT IS TRUE, ISN'T IT ?

SURE IT'S TRUE.
WELL, YOU DON'T
SEEM TOO UPSET.

YOU WERE
ALMOST IN TEARS
WHEN YOU TOLD ME.

I'M TRYIN' TO BLOCK IT
OUTTA MY MIND.
CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND ?

I'M SORRY.
I-I DIDN'T KNOW IT
WAS STILL A SORE SPOT.

NOT AS SORE
AS YOU WAS THEN.

[ Laughing ]

MAYBE, IF YOU'RE
REAL NICE TO ME,

I'LL TELL YOU
ALL ABOUT THE TIME...

HE TIED MY ARMS TO THE BED
WITH BLACK TWINE.

DID HE REALLY DO THAT ?

HE DID THAT
TO A SWEET LITTLE
THING LIKE YOU ?

SEE THE SCARS ?

WHERE ?
LOOK CLOSER.

OH, YEAH.
I SEE.

HOW LOW
CAN YOU GET ?

AS LOW
AS YOU CAN AFFORD,

AND YOUR METER'S UP, PAL.

THAT'S THE BITTER TRUTH.

CAN I KEEP THESE ?
FOR TEN BUCKS.

KEEP THE TRUST.

[ Door Opening ]

[ Door Closing ]

I'M SORRY
I'M LATE, HONEY.
I HAD TO FINISH UP.

I ATE WITH THE KIDS.
WELL, I BROUGHT
DESSERT !

THANKS. YOU KNOW
I'M ON A DIET.
OPEN IT !

[ Bobby ]
TA-DA !

HAVE YOU EATEN ?
I'M NOT HUNGRY.
I'LL FIX SOMETHING LATER.

DINNER'S STILL WARM.

LISTEN, I INVITED DONNY
TO THE PARTY ON SUNDAY.

YOU KNOW, HE AND SHEILA
HAVE BEEN SPEAKING,
OR AT LEAST SHE CALLED HIM.

ARE YOU CRAZY ?
SHE ONLY CALLED HIM BECAUSE
HE WAS LATE WITH THE ALIMONY.

SO HOW ARE THE KIDS ?

WELL, JIMMY
NEEDS BRACES.

DENTIST SAYS HE HAS
AN OVERLAPPING BITE
OR SOMETHING.

- WILL THEY HURT ?
- I'M NOT REALLY CONCERNED
WHETHER IT WILL HURT OR NOT.

WELL, IF HE NEEDS BRACES, HONEY,

GET HIM BRACES.

JUST LIKE THAT ?
YEAH,
JUST LIKE THAT.

SO WE'LL GO ANOTHER YEAR
WITHOUT A HOT TUB.
WE CAN USE THE LARSONS'.

YEAH, SURE, AND WHEN
WE NEED A NEW CAR,

WE CAN BORROW THE MURPHYS',
AND I CAN BORROW
MY SISTER'S CUISINART...

AND SALLY'S MICROWAVE,
AND, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT ?

KATHY JUST GOT
A NEW VIDEO RECORDER.
COST HER A THOUSAND BUCKS.

SHE SAYS IT'LL DO
ANYTHING SHE WANTS.

WELL, FOR THAT PRICE,
IT SHOULD GO DOWN ON HER.

VERY FUNNY.

DID YOU TALK TO JERRY ?

SO WHERE'S THE SALT ?
YOU DIDN'T, DID YOU ?

DON'T WE HAVE ANY SALT
IN THIS HOUSE ?
BOBBY.

AMY, I TOLD YOU.
I AM NOT LETTING THE GUY GO.

I DON'T CARE
HOW SLOW THINGS ARE.

HE'S GOT A WIFE
AND KIDS.

AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE ?

MAYBE IF YOU'D GONE
INTO A REAL BUSINESS
LIKE A NORMAL PERSON.

IT'S ON THE STOVE.

NO WONDER WE NEVER HAVE
ANY MONEY.

AMY, LOOK,
I LOVE THAT BUSINESS.

I'M PROUD OF IT.
WORK DAMN HARD AT IT.

WE'LL MAKE OUT OKAY.

HAVEN'T LET YOU DOWN YET,
HAVE I ?

SO, WHO IN THE HELL
NEEDS A HOT TUB ?

WE CAN USE THE BATHTUB.

SPEAKING OF WHICH,

WHY DON'T YOU AND I...

GO UPSTAIRS AND TAKE
A BATH TOGETHER ?

YOU SAY WE CAN USE
A LITTLE BIT OF ADVENTURE
IN OUR LIVES.

I'M REALLY NOT IN THE MOOD
FOR A LITTLE ADVENTURE.

SOME KIND OF LOUSY MOOD
YOU'RE IN. DID YOU GET
YOUR PERIOD TODAY ?

NO, I DID NOT GET
MY PERIOD TODAY.

EVERY TIME
I'M IN A LOUSY MOOD,
YOU THINK I GOT MY PERIOD.

I WISH.

I'D BUY STOCK IN TAMPAX
AND RETIRE.

THERE IS NOTHING
THAT MEANS MORE TO ME...

THAN THIS FAMILY.

NOT EVEN
SOME STUPID HOT TUB.

I HAVE TO CLEAN UP.

???? [ Pop Playing On TV ]

????

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS
STILL DOING UP ?
YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS ?

MOM SAID WE COULD STAY UP
TILL THE NEXT COMMERCIAL.

YEAH ?
WELL, YOU CAN'T.

'CAUSE YOU'RE UNDER ATTACK.
IT'S BOMBS AWAY.

[ All Shouting ]

[ Bobby ]
OH ! HEY !

[ Bobby ] I WANT YOU
TO GIVE YOUR SISTER SOME,
YOU HEAR ME, COWBOY ?

[ Amy ]
COME ON, YOU TWO.
MARCH. UP.

ABOUT THE TWO LIMA BEANS ?

BECAUSE IT'S BEDTIME,
ISN'T IT, DADDY ?

[ Clicks Tongue ]
[ Amy ]
COME ON. LET'S GO.

GIVE DAD A BIG HUG.

BYE.
GOOD NIGHT.

HELLO ?
YEAH, WALT PIERSON HERE.

WALT. BOBBY GRADY.
HOW YOU DOIN' ?

GREAT. YOU ?
YEAH, I'M JUST FINE.
THANKS.

UM, LISTEN, UH,
YOU'D ASKED ME ONCE BEFORE...

ABOUT DOING SOME
NIGHTTIME SURVEILLANCE
FOR YOU.

YEAH. THINK YOU MIGHT
STILL BE INTERESTED ?

YEAH. WELL, N-N-NO,
I WAS-- I WAS WONDERING,
IS THE OFFER STILL GOOD ?

[ Door Slamming ]
YEAH. YOU GOTTA
WORK NIGHTS, THOUGH.

NO PROBLEM.
MOB AFTER YOU ?

NO, I COULD USE THE MONEY.

I THINK I GOT
SOMETHING FOR YOU.
YOU DO ?

YEAH. GOTTA WORK
NIGHTS, THOUGH.
TERRIFIC.

NO, THAT'S GREAT.
YOU DIDN'T THINK
I HAD THE NERVE, DID YOU ?

NO, I DIDN'T.
[ Laughing ]
NEITHER DID I.

I, UH-- I GUESS IT
JUST COMES WITH POVERTY.

WELL, COME ON IN,
AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT.

YEAH, WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
AND YOU TAKE IT EASY, OKAY ?

YEAH, RIGHT.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
FINE. BYE.

GREAT. YOU TELL THEM JOKES,
AND I'M THE WICKED WITCH
WHO SENDS THEM TO BED.

WELL, I'LL PUT 'EM
TO BED.

???? [ Men Singing On TV ]
SO YOU CAN KEEP 'EM UP HALF
THE NIGHT WITH YOUR STORIES ?

I THINK IT'S GOOD
FOR THE IMAGINATION.

THEIRS OR YOURS ?

I'M GONNA BE DOING SOME
TRACKING FOR WALT PIERSON.

SO, THAT MEANS YOU CAN
MAKE ROOM FOR THAT HOT TUB.

WELL, YOU ACT LIKE I--
[ Laughing ]

FORCED YOU, AND I DON'T
EVEN WANT IT ANYMORE.

???? [ Whimsical Music ]
WHAT DO YOU WANT ?
DO YOU KNOW ?

AND YOU DIDN'T FORCE ME.

[ Sighs ]
[ Screaming On TV ]

MAYBE I'LL, UH, DO
THE MAGIC ACT AT THE PARTY.

YOU KNOW, FOR LAUGHS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

WHATEVER YOU WANT.

OH, BOBBY, COME ON. STOP IT.
WE JUST GOT THE CABLE.

[ Gunfire,
Indians Whooping ]

WALT PIERSON SPEAKS
VERY HIGHLY OF YOU.

I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT
FOR WALT. HIS WORD'S
GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

WELL, I'M DAMN GOOD
AT WHAT I DO, MR. BATEMAN,

BUT I'LL ONLY TAKE A JOB
IF I CAN DO IT RIGHT.

AS LONG AS YOU KEEP IT QUIET.
I DON'T WANT TO TURN THIS
INTO A MAJOR EVENT.

WELL, I'VE ALWAYS
BEEN A PUSHOVER
FOR INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE.

I'D LIKE TO HELP YOU.
JUST TELL ME WHAT THE FACTS ARE.

I'M ONE OF THE LARGEST
MANUFACTURERS OF LADIES'
SPORTSWEAR OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK.

[ Inhaling ]
BUT I'M FALLING BEHIND
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS.

LAST WEEK'S ORDERS
WERE AT AN ALL-TIME LOW.

I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THERE'S
SOMEONE IN MY ORGANIZATION...

SELLING PATTERNS
TO ONE OF MY COMPETITORS.

I WANT YOU TO FOLLOW HER.
[ Bobby ]
WHO IS SHE ?

A YOUNG WOMAN'S WHO'S BEEN
WITH ME ABOUT TWO YEARS.

VERY TALENTED DESIGNER.
HELL OF A FUTURE,
IF SHE HASN'T BLOWN IT.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
IT'S HER ?
I DON'T KNOW.

GUT FEELING.
SOMETHING ABOUT HER.
I'LL POINT HER OUT TO YOU.

ALL RIGHT,
TRY AND SAVE SOME YARDAGE
IN THIS SLEEVE, OKAY ?

[ Bateman ]
THAT'S HER,
IN THE GRAY SUIT.

[ Bobby ]
HOW COULD SOMEONE THAT LOOKS
LIKE THAT BE A CRIMINAL ?

THAT'S WHAT I'M
PAYING YOU TO FIND OUT.

FOLLOW HER--
WHERE SHE GOES AT NIGHT,
WHAT SHE DOES.

MORNING, LOU.
PHIL.

WHAT'D YOU MEAN
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT HER ?

SHE'S A MYSTERY.
DIVORCED. LIVES ALONE.

NO BOYFRIENDS I KNOW OF.
A REAL LONER.

WHAT'S SHE LIKE IN HERE ?
COMPULSIVE,
AMBITIOUS.

NEVER STOPS WORKING,
NEVER SATISFIED.
YOU KNOW THE TYPE.

ALWAYS PROVING THEMSELVES.
PERFECTION OR BUST.

ANY FRIENDS ?
OH, SHE GETS ALONG FINE
WITH THE OTHER WOMEN,

BUT IF YOU'VE GOT A PENIS,
YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.

SHE TURNS TO ICE.
THAT STILL DOESN'T
MAKE HER A CRIMINAL.

IT MAKES HER A SUSPECT.
I DON'T TRUST ANYONE
THAT WORKS THAT HARD.

SHE MUST BE HIDING
SOMETHING. I WANT YOU
TO NAIL HER LILY-WHITE ASS.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ?
YOU THINK SHE'S THAT DANGEROUS ?

IT DEPENDS ON
WHAT YOU DISCOVER.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE ME
TONIGHT, CHILD ?

HA ! WELL, IF IT
ISN'T MY SAVIOR.

THE REVEREND PETER SHAYNE
REQUESTS A FEW MOMENTS
OF REPOSE UPSTAIRS...

IN YOUR HOLY OF HOLIES.

A REVEREND, NO LESS.

YOU KNOW, THE LAST REVEREND
WHO TRIED TO, UH, SAVE ME...

LIVED TO REGRET IT.

I CHASED HIM ALL AROUND
THE CHURCH UNTIL I CAUGHT HIM
BY THE ORGAN. COME ON.

[ Laughing ]

I MAKE A GREAT
JOAN OF ARC.
CAN'T YOU TELL ?

I IMAGINE YOU DO SPEND
A GOOD DEAL OF TIME
ON YOUR KNEES, MY CHILD.

[ China ]
EXCUSE US. WE'VE GOT
BUSINESS TO CONDUCT.

HEY, BABY.
HOW ABOUT A SHOT OF
THE GRAND CANYON, HUH ?

OH, SHIT.

STICK IT THERE, REV.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ?

I WANT TO HELP YOU.

ADMIT YOU NEED IT.
I NEED IT.

WITH CONVICTION.
MAKE ME BELIEVE.

OH, PLEASE, REVEREND.
YOU'RE SO GOOD
AND WISE AND STRONG.

PLEASE.
PLEASE HELP THIS SICK,
DISGUSTING DEGENERATE.

I DEAL IN TRUTH.
I'M BRINGING YOU SOMETHING
GREATER THAN A HARD-ON,

ASSUMING YOU CONSIDER TRUTH
TO BE GREATER THAN A HARD-ON.

[ Coins Clattering ]

OH.

DEPENDS ON THE HARD-ON.
TRY IT AGAIN,
SINNER.

FIRST MONTH I WAS MARRIED,
I TRIED TO MAKE MY HUSBAND'S
FAVORITE CASSEROLE.

OF COURSE,
I MADE A MESS.

SO I CRIED TO MY BEST FRIEND
PEGGY ALL WEEK ABOUT IT...

TILL I FOUND OUT
WHEN I WAS IN THE KITCHEN
MAKING THE CASSEROLE,

HE WAS IN THE BEDROOM
MAKING PEGGY.

DON'T GLARE AT ME.

YOU WEAR YOUR ANGUISH
LIKE A BREAKAWAY
CHASTITY BELT.

YOU WANTED THE TRUTH.
WHAT ELSE
ARE YOU SELLING ?

THIS IS THE FANTASY BUSINESS,
REVEREND.

YOU CAN HAVE
ANY TRUTH YOU WANT.

AND SO CAN YOU.
ISN'T THAT WHY
YOU'RE HERE ?

ISN'T THAT
WHY YOU ARE ?

I'M HERE TO SAVE YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU FUCK ME ?
THAT'LL SAVE ME.

NOT FROM
YOUR DISEASE.
WHAT DISEASE ?

I'M HEALTHY AS A HORSE.
I'M FIT AS A FIDDLE
AND READY FOR COCK.

WHORES AND METAPHORS
DON'T MIX. WHO ARE YOU ?

I'M CINDERELLA, CLEOPATRA.

GOLDIE HAWN, EVA BRAUN.

I'M LITTLE MISS MUFFETT,
I'M POCAHONTAS, I'M WHOEVER
YOU WANT ME TO BE, REVEREND.

BUT WHAT AREYOU
DOING HERE ?

SATISFYING.
WHO ?

I THINK THAT THE CONFESSIONAL
IS ABOUT OVER.

DON'T YOU WANT
TO BE SAVED ? DO YOU GET
THAT MUCH OUT OF THIS ?

I GET PAID.
BUT I'M NOT INTERESTED
IN WHAT YOU'RE SELLING,

ONLY IN WHAT YOU'RE BUYING.
WHY DON'T YOU ASSUME
THE MISSIONARY POSITION ?

MY PURPOSE HERE
IS STRICTLY HUMANITARIAN.
TO MAKE ME SEE THE LIGHT ?

TO MAKE YOU SEE
THROUGH THE BULLSHIT.

[ China ]
YOU WANT TRUTH, FATHER ?
I GOT THE BEST TRUTH IN TOWN.

SO GOOD, YOU WOULDN'T
KNOW IT FROM MAKE-BELIEVE.

IS IT ?
IF YOU BELIEVE IT IS.

EVERYBODY NEEDS
SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN,
DON'T THEY, REVEREND ?

BOW DOWN THINE EAR,
O LORD, AND HEAR ME,
FOR I AM POOR AND NEEDY.

PRESERVE MY SOUL,
FOR I AM HOLY.

O THOU, MY GOD,
SAVE THY SERVANT
THAT TRUSTETH IN THEE.

SAVE HIM FROM THIS BIGMOUTH CUSH
WITH A MOTOR-DRIVEN ASS WHO--

FORGIVE ME, LORD.
I SPEAK NOT IN VAIN, BUT THIS
LITTLE BITCH PROVOKES ME SO !

OH, JESUS. AT LEAST
I CAN STAY IN CHARACTER.

YOU COULDN'T EVEN GET
A WALK-ON IN SOMETHING,

UNLESS IT WAS YOU
THAT WAS BEING WALKED ON.

I AM THE MESSENGER OF GOD,
YOU LITTLE COCKSUCKER !

WHAT'S THIS ? YOUR MAILBAG ?
LET'S SEE WHAT'S IN IT.
NO ! NO !

WHAT IS THIS ?
TOP SECRET ?
NO.

COME ON. LET MAMA
HAVE A LITTLE PEEK.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT
IN HERE, THE HOLY GRAIL ?
COME ON.

OH, MY GOD.
OH, EXCUSE ME.
OH, GOD.

NEED I REMIND YOU,
JEZEBEL, THAT CURIOSITY
KILLED THE CAT ?

NOT UNTIL IT
GOT OUT OF THE BAG.

THESE ARE
THE DEVIL'S PLAYTHINGS.

THOSE WHO TOUCH THEM WILL BURN.
PUT ANOTHER LOG ON THE FIRE,
REVEREND. LET'S SEE A SAMPLE.

IT'S A DISGUSTING ARRAY.
[ Laughs ] DISGUSTING'S
MY MIDDLE NAME, HONEY.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT
IN THE BAG ?

GOD FORGIVE ME.

A TIT PACIFIER.
THE MILK OF
HUMAN KINDNESS.

REMEDIAL, EVEN IN
A SIMULATION.

A FOAM RUBBER
PRETTY KITTY.
[ Gasps, Chuckles ]

ALREADY HOUSEBROKEN, AND YOU
CAN TEACH IT A WIDE VARIETY
OF NEW TRICKS.

COMES WITH A BATTERY PACK.
IT'S IN HERE SOMEWHERE.

AN AUTO-SUCK. MODERN TECHNOLOGY
AT ITS MOST COMPASSIONATE,
AND IT SWALLOWS.

THIS ONE IS
A LITTLE ON THE BLINK.

OH. ARE YOU HUNGRY ?

HOW 'BOUT A--
A "BEAT ME, EAT ME"
LICORICE WHIP ?

"THE TASTE THAT LEAVES
ITS MARK FOREVER."

MM. HEY, NO,
WAIT A MINUTE.
I'M NOT THROUGH HERE.

WHAT ELSE YOU GOT
IN THE BAG ?

WHAT ?

WHAT THE HELL ?

IS THIS A CRUISE MISSILE
OR A PERSHING ?

[ Buzzing ]
[ Laughing ]

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO,
FUCK SOMEONE TO DEATH ?

YOU'D LIKE TO,
WOULDN'T YOU ?

ONLY THE RIGHT WOMAN.

YOU BETTER GO.

JUST WHEN
WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS.

I CAN ONLY HANDLE
ONE REVELATION A NIGHT.

ENOUGH OF THEM
AND YOU MIGHT BE ABLE
TO HANDLE REAL LIFE.

REAL LIFE, REVEREND.

TELL ME YOUR NAME,
OR IS THAT A TOUGH ONE ?

CHINA BLUE.

CHINA BLUE.

I LIKE IT.
IT'S RATHER EXOTIC.

LIKE SOMETHING
OUT OF CHARLIE CHAN.

"B" MOVIES HAVE ALWAYS
BEEN MY INSPIRATION.

WHAT'S YOURS ?
GOING MY WAY?

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME
IS THAT I INTEND TO SAVE YOU.

AND ALL YOU NEED TO DO
IS... BE THERE.

STAY WITH ME, CHINA BLUE.
TRUST ME.

"I WILL BEHAVE MYSELF WISELY
IN A PERFECT WAY.

"I WILL WALK WITHIN MY HOUSE

AND I WILL SET
NO WICKED THING

NOT EVEN THE STUPID DOUCHE BAG
WHO'S LURING ME
UNDER HER ROTTEN SPELL.

SNATCH CAN'T FOOL ME, LORD.

I'M NOT LIKE THE OTHERS.
I KNOW HER COWARDLY GAME.

A FEAR OF MEN SO GREAT
SHE CAN ONLY FEEL STRENGTH
BEHIND HER FACADE.

"WHO SO SLANDERETH HIS NEIGHBOR
WILL I CUT OFF."

YEAH.
I'LL CUT OFF, ALL RIGHT.

I'LL CUT OFF...

HER LITTLE TITS.

WHY DIDN'T YOU
COME TO ME, PHIL ?

I WOULD HAVE LOANED YOU
THE MONEY. HELL, I WOULD
HAVE GIVEN YOU THE MONEY.

GODDAMN PRIDE.

WHAT ABOUT JAIL ?
NO PRIDE IN THERE.

WHO THINKS ?

COOPER OFFERED ME
A FORTUNE FOR THE PATTERNS.

I-- I LOST CONTROL.

PLEASE, LOU.

I'LL WORK FOR NOTHING.

ANYTHING YOU WANT,
BUT WHAT THIS WOULD DO
TO SARA AND MY BOY--

I'LL HAVE TO
THINK ABOUT IT, PHIL.

HMM.
[ Clears Throat ]

I HAD TO HAVE SOMEONE
AROUND HERE TO TALK TO
ABOUT THIS WHOLE DAMN THING.

THE MAN'S BEEN
WITH ME 18 YEARS.
I TRUSTED HIM.

HE WAS SO MOVED THAT I DID
THAT HE BROKE DOWN
AND CONFESSED.

THAT'S GRATITUDE
FOR YOU.

[ Scoffs ]
I DIDN'T KNOW
MY TRUST MEANT THAT MUCH.

WHAT DO I DO NOW ?

GIVE HIM
ANOTHER CHANCE.

THE MAN IS A CRIMINAL.
COME ON.

YOU HEARD HIS MOTIVE.
GUY'S ONLY HUMAN.
HE KNOWS HE WAS WRONG.

GOD KNOWS WE'VE ALL
MADE MISTAKES.

WHY RUIN HIS LIFE
OVER ONE MISTAKE ?
WHAT ABOUT THE LAW ?

SCREW THE LAW.

WHAT GOOD IS HE IN JAIL ?
BESIDES, HE'LL WORK
TWICE AS HARD FOR YOU HERE.

AND YOU CAN FEEL
LIKE THE KING OF HEARTS.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S RIGHT
OR WRONG ANYMORE.

[ Bobby ]
DID YOU REALLY BELIEVE
IT WAS HER ?

[ Bateman ]
SO I'M A LOUSY GUESSER.

WHAT'D YOU GET

GAME'S OVER, FRAUD.

THE GAME'S NEVER OVER.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE

I DON'T FEEL

WHAT DOES THE "90" MEAN ?

YEAH, HON, WHATDOES

IT MEANS...

THOUGHT YOU LIKED

I JUST DIDN'T WANT
TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS.

I GUESS YOU CAN'T WIN.

YOU CAN WIN
BY BEING HONEST WITH ME

WHAT DO WE HAVE
IF WE CAN'T BE HONEST
WITH EACH OTHER ?

I DON'T KNOW, BOBBY,
WHAT DO WE HAVE ?

I DON'T KNOW, AMY.
WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU BEEN
HUMORING ME ABOUT ?

GO TO SLEEP.
NO, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT ELSE
YOU'VE BEEN SPARING ME FROM.

YOU WANTED THE TRUTH.
I'M SORRY.

YOU'RE SORRY.
WHAT DO YOU
WANT ME TO SAY ?

WHY DIDN'T YOU
JUST TELL ME
THIS BEFORE ?

ALL THIS TIME IT HASN'T
BEEN GOOD FOR YOU.

WHY'D YOU HAVE
TO LIE ABOUT IT ?

[ Scoffs ]
[ Sighs ]

I AM YOUR HUSBAND.
DON'T YOU THINK I WOULD CARE
ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT,

THAT I'D WANT TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT ?

DIDN'T YOU TRUST ME
ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT ?

[ Sighs ]

I DIDN'T SAY
IT WASN'T GOOD FOR ME.

I-- I JUST
DON'T NEED...

THE SAME THING
FROM IT THAT YOU DO.

IT'S NEVER BEEN
IMPORTANT TO ME.

AND YOU KNOW
I FEEL FUNNY
TALKING ABOUT IT.

YOU FEEL BETTER
FAKING IT ?

YOU WERE SATISFIED.

WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM,

THAT I JUST NEED
A HOLE TO COME IN ?

I MEAN,
WHAT DO YOU THINK
MAKES ME COME ?

STOP--
NO !
WHAT DO YOU THINK...

MAKES ME COME ?
I DON'T CARE !

I'LL TELL YA.
I THOUGHT IT WAS
BEING INSIDE...

THE WOMAN THAT I LOVE AND
GIVING HER AS MUCH PLEASURE...

AS SHE WAS GIVING TO ME.

YOU KNOW,
THE TWO OF US TOGETHER.

[ Scoffs ]
SOME KIND OF MAGICIAN
I TURNED OUT TO BE.

I'M SO GOOD,
I CONNED MYSELF.

MAYBE IT'S TIME

I KNOW YOU'RE PISSED,
BUT BEFORE YOU GO CRAZY,
JUST LET ME EXPLAIN.

JUST THE TWO OF YOU.

I WANT TO BUY YOU
FOR AN HOUR, IF THAT'S
WHAT YOU CALL IT.

IS THIS SOME FREAK TRICK ?
NO, NOTHING LIKE THAT.
I SWEAR.

YOU KNOW, IT'LL COST.
I'M THE HOTTEST PIECE
OF LIFE ON THIS STREET.

IT'LL COST YOU A HUNDRED BUCKS.
HAVE YOU GOT A HUNDRED BUCKS ?

I'LL DRIVE YOU THERE
AND BRING YOU BACK.

TEN MINUTES
ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I JUST
NEED SOMEONE TO BE WITH HIM.

MY HUSBAND
IS DYING.

MAYBE ANOTHER
THREE MONTHS.

HE'S STILL FUNCTIONING.
IN FACT, YOU'D HARDLY KNOW
HE WAS SICK.

WE'VE BEEN MARRIED
FOR 28 YEARS,
BUT SINCE I FOUND OUT,

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE
TO GO NEAR HIM.

HE NEEDS ME SO BADLY,
AND I JUST CAN'T DO IT.

I WANT YOU TO MAKE HIM
FEEL LIKE A MAN AGAIN.

HIS NAME IS BEN.

MY WIFE TAKES HER GUILT
VERY SERIOUSLY.

I'M SURE SHE
TOLD YOU I'M SICK.

YES.

I DIDN'T WANT HER
TO DO THIS.

I HAVEN'T BEEN
WITH ANOTHER WOMAN
IN 28 YEARS.

BUT SHE INSISTED.

YES, MA'AM, SHE--
SHE INSISTED.

CHARITY REALLY DOES
BEGIN AT HOME.

MY GOD, YOU'RE LOVELY.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME ?

CHINA BLUE.

I SEE.
IMAGE AND ALL, EH ?

WELL, CHINA BLUE,

MY BODY'S NOT IN
THE GREATEST SHAPE,
AS YOU KNOW,

BUT I'LL TRY
AND NOT MAKE IT
TOO PAINFUL FOR YOU.

NO, DON'T SAY THAT.

I WANT TO MAKE IT GOOD FOR YOU.

OH, I WANT YOU SO.

YOU'RE MY MASTER,
MY KING.

PLEASE LET ME HAVE IT.
I WANT TO FEEL THAT BIG
STRONG MAN INSIDE ME.

PLEASE, I WANT YOU
SO BAD.
DON'T.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, YOUR WIFE
GOT YOU THE BEST.

I'M THE BEST THERE IS.
I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
THE HOTTEST NIGHT OF YOUR LIFE.

DO YOU THINK
YOU CAN RAISE THE DEAD ?

OH, NO, BEN, DON'T.

DON'T BE AFRAID.

IT WAS ONLY A GAME.

[ Sobbing ]
I'M SORRY.

I'M SO SORRY THAT YOU
HAVE TO SEE ME LIKE THIS.

DON'T BE SORRY.

YOU HAVE A LOT MORE
COURAGE THAN I HAVE.

[ Sobbing ]
AT LEAST YOU'VE
STOPPED PRETENDING.

WELL, SO LONG,
CHINA BLUE.

JOANNA.

JOANNA.

[ Knocking ]

YEAH ?
IT'S BOBBY.

LOOK, I'M SORRY.
I KNOW IT'S LATE.

BUT REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID,
"IF YOU NEED ME, I'M HERE" ?

WELL, I NEED YOU.

COME ON IN.

GOD, I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
YOU'RE STILL WORKING.

WHEN DO YOU SLEEP ?
VALENTINE'S DAY.

IS IT YOUR WIFE ?
[ Chuckles ]
IS IT MY WIFE ?

FIRST TIME AMY
AND I MADE LOVE,

SHE ASKED ME IF
I STILL RESPECTED HER.

HELL, I THOUGHT
THAT'S THE REASON
WE DID IT.

WELL, IT'S ALL OVER.

COME ON. SIT DOWN
UH, DO YOU WANT SOME COFFEE ?

I'VE--
NO. I COULD USE
A SHOT OF MORPHINE...

IF YOU'VE GOT IT.

ENOUGH TO KILL
THE LAST 12 YEARS.

YOU'LL SURVIVE.
I'M A GODDAMN FOOL.

I MEAN, WHY DID
I BELIEVE SO HARD ?

I MEAN, NOW, WHAT DO
I HAVE TO BELIEVE IN ?
AW, BOBBY, COME ON !

IT REALLY IS LATE, AND I HAVE
A LOT I HAVE TO DO. I--

DON'T JUDGE ME,
GRADY, HUH ?

WE BOTH LIVE
OUR FANTASIES.
ONLY MINE'S OVER !

AND YOURS
IS STILL HANGING AROUND !

COME ON !
I MEAN, WHAT THE HELL
IS THE POINT, JOANNA ?

YOU WORK SO HARD AT GETTING
THESE PEOPLE TO WANT YOU...

WHEN IT'S NOT EVEN YOU
THAT THEY WANT !

WELL, I DO !

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT SAID,
"WHEN ARE YOU GONNA GROW UP ?"

WELL, I THINK IT'S
ABOUT TIME THAT WE BOTH DID.

IT'S SO HARD, BOBBY.

NO MAN'S EVER GIVEN ME
THAT KIND OF FAITH BEFORE,

THAT KIND OF RESPECT.

THAT HOTEL
IS THE SAFEST PLACE
IN THE WORLD.

I CAN DO ANYTHING THERE.
I CAN BE ANYTHING
I CAN DREAM OF,

BECAUSE IT'S NOT ME.

DON'T YOU SEE ?

- I'D ONLY END UP
DISAPPOINTING YOU.
- I CAN CHANCE IT !

- I'M TOUGH.
- I'M NOT.

WAIT A SECOND.
JUST REMEMBER ONE THING.

WE'RE FRIENDS.

I MEAN, WHAT WE DID
IN THAT HOTEL ROOM
WE CAN DO HERE.

WE'RE THE SAME PEOPLE.

WE'VE DONE AS MUCH
AS TWO PEOPLE CAN.

ONLY NOW IT'LLFOREACH OTHER
INSTEAD OFTOEACH OTHER,

AND YOU CAN'T FLY
ANY HIGHER THAN THAT.

OH.

"O GOD
TO WHOM VENGEANCE BELONGS,

"HOW LONG SHALL
THE WICKED TRIUMPH ?

HOW LONG SHALL THEY UTTER
AND SPEAK HARD THINGS ?"

HOW LONG SHALL THEY TURN
50-BUCK TRICKS...

AND STRUT THEIR EVIL BODIES
IN SMELLY SILK UNDERWEAR ?

TEAR OFF THAT DRESS
AND SHE'S AS HELPLESS AS I AM.

CHINA BLUE,

ALIAS JOANNA CRANE,

ALIAS PETER SHAYNE--

THEY'LL ALL BE SAVED.

I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU.

WHAT IS IT ?
THE KIDS ? WHAT'S WRONG ?

NOTHING'S WRONG. I--

I WANNA TALK TO YOU.

ABOUT WHAT ?

DIDN'T YOU USED TO HAVE
A FUNNY PAINTING ON THAT WALL ?

YEAH. TOOK IT DOWN
TWO YEARS AGO.

NOW, WHAT'S UP ?

[ Sighs ]

WELL, I'VE BEEN DOING
A LOT OF THINKING.

I THINK I MADE
A MISTAKE.

I'D LIKE US TO--
TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY.

[ Sighs ]
WOMEN. I GIVE UP.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"WOMEN" ?

WHO ELSE ?

AMY, WHY ?

YOU LOVE ME SO MUCH
YOU CAN'T STAND BEING APART ?

OR ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE
GETTING A PLUMBER ?

IT'S HARD
BEING ALONE, BOBBY.

ME IN THAT BIG BED.

LAST NIGHT I THOUGHT I HEARD
SOMEBODY TRYING TO BREAK IN.

[ Sighs ]
I'LL RIG UP
ANOTHER ALARM SYSTEM.

I DON'T WANT ANOTHER
ALARM SYSTEM. I--

I DON'T WANT
THE DAMN HOT TUB, REALLY.

ALL I WANT
IS MY HUSBAND.

YOU KNOW, THE KIDS REALLY NEED
A MOTHERANDA FATHER.

FOR WHAT ?

TO WATCH 'EM
MURDER EACH OTHER AND...

TEACH 'EM
HOW TO... HATE ?

[ Sighs ]
HOW ABOUT TEACHING THEM
RESPONSIBILITY ?

WHAT ABOUT LETTING THEM
LEARN IT FOR THEMSELVES ?

YOU ONLY LEARN
IF YOU'RE TAUGHT.

OH, YEAH ?
WE WERE TAUGHT EVERYTHING,
AND WE DIDN'T LEARN SHIT !

I HAPPEN TO THINK
THERE ARE STILL A FEW VALUES
LEFT TO BELIEVE IN.

[ Laughs ]
THAT'S GREAT, AMY.

YOU JUST KEEP BELIEVING.
I CAN'T ANYMORE.

WHAT WAS SO WRONG
WITH THE WAY WE LIVED ?

YOU KNOW WHAT
SCARED ME THE MOST
DURING OUR WHOLE MARRIAGE ?

DO YOU ?

IT'S NOT THE MORTGAGE,
AND IT'S NOT THIS SHOP.

IT'S JUST ADMITTING
I WAS SCARED !

AND LETTING YOU
AND THE KIDS DOWN.

YOU'VE MET SOMEBODY,
HAVEN'T YOU ?

[ Sighs ]
'COURSE YOU HAVE.
I CAN SMELL HER ALL OVER YOU.

[ Chuckles ]
OH, I AM SO DUMB.

WHO IS SHE ?

ONE OF THOSE SWINGING SINGLES,

BOOBS OUT TO HERE,
THE MORALS OF A BITCH IN HEAT ?

IT MAY COME
AS A SHOCK TO YOU,

BUT SEX IS ONE HELL OF A WAY
TO SHOW WHAT YOU FEEL !

IT'S NO CRIME
TO ENJOY IT, AMY !

IT'S ONLY A CRIME...
WHEN YOU'RE LYIN' ABOUT IT.

I THINK YOU BETTER
GET YOURSELF OUT
OF THAT BED OF ROSES...

AND REMEMBER
THE RESPONSIBILITY YOU HAVE
TO YOUR WIFE AND YOUR CHILDREN.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE
A VERY TOUGH DECISION,

AND I SUGGEST THAT
YOU THINK VERY HARD...

ABOUT THE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE
THAT REALLY COUNT.

I UNDERSTAND, BOBBY.
IT'S YOUR FAMILY. IF YOU
CAN'T STAY, YOU CAN'T STAY.

I'M GOING TO DINNER.
THAT'S ALL.
[ Sighs ]

IT DOESN'T MEAN
I'M NOT GONNA BE BACK.

NO MATTER WHAT AMY SAYS,
I CAN'T GO BACK
TO THAT LIFE, NOT NOW !

MAYBE YOU BETTER NOT
COME BACK HERE, EITHER.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN ?

MAYBE IN A MONTH OR SO,
YOU'LL START FEELING GUILTY
ABOUT LEAVING THE KIDS.

MAYBE I'LL START FEELING
CROWDED AND TRAPPED.

MAYBE YOU'LL START
RESENTING MY PAST,
THE TIME I PUT IN ON MY WORK.

YOU'LL WANT A GOOD MEAL.
I CAN'T COOK.
I DON'T WANNA LEARN.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO,
GODDAMN IT ?

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT TOOK, BOBBY--

HOW LONG I WANTED
AND I HOPED FOR SOMEBODY
TO CARE FOR,

TO LET SOMEBODY
CARE FOR ME.
I'LL BE BACK.

OH, YEAH.
YOU SAY THAT.
I KNOW THAT.

BUT YOU'RE JUST
SO FUCKING HONORABLE !

[ Chuckles ]
SHEILA TOLD ME A GOOD ONE
THE OTHER DAY.

SHE SAYS, UH--
THE SECRETARY--

THE SECRETARY SAYS
TO THE BOSS. "SO COULD
I USE YOUR DICTAPHONE ?"

AND-- AND HE SAYS,
"NO. USE YOUR FINGER
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE."

[ Chuckles ]

[ Children Chattering ]

[ Girl ]
NO, YOU'RE NOT !
I-I MADE
A NEW RECIPE TONIGHT.

IT, UH-- IT HAS ALL
YOUR FAVORITE VEGETABLES IN IT.

IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.
BIG DEAL. LISTEN,
I JUST GOT A 12.

[ Children's Chattering
Continues, Indistinct ]

OH, SURE.
UH-HUH.

OH, YOU KNOW, LISTEN.
DON'T, UH--

DON'T FORGET
IT'S PARENTS' NIGHT
AT LISA'S SCHOOL NEXT WEEK.

[ Chattering Continues ]

WELL, I WAS GONNA SAVE THIS
UNTIL LATER, BUT, UH--

HERE.
WHY DON'T YOU GO ON--

OPEN IT.

[ Chuckles ]
I FOUND IT IN THE GARAGE.

I BET YOU FORGOT
THAT WAS STILL AROUND.

I WASHED IT UP
AND I HAD TO SEW UP
A COUPLE OF PLACES ON IT,

BUT HERE--

PUT IT ON.

[ Sniffles ]
OH, I USED TO GET
SO TURNED ON WITH YOU--

WITH YOU IN THIS.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Knocking On Door ]

BOBBY ?

- LAST RITES.
- [ Grunts ]

LOVELY APARTMENT.
WHAT DO YOU CALL IT,
PARADISE LOST ?

THE REVEREND'S
GONNA SAVE YOU TONIGHT,
ONCE AND FOR ALL.

WHO ARE YOU,
YOU SON OF A BITCH ?

DON'T FIGHT ME.
I'M THE MESSENGER OF GOD.
I ONLY WANT TO HEAL YOU.

HEAL THYSELF,
PIMP-SHIT.

- [ Groans ]
-YOU'RE OPPOSING ME, JOANNA.

YOU HAVE TO TRUST ME.
ONE MORE GAME--
THE FINAL ONE.

THE ONE THAT WILL
FREE YOU FOREVER.

DO I HAVE YOUR TRUST ?

BECAUSE WE CAN ONLY PLAY
IF I HAVE YOUR TRUST.

- DO I HAVE IT ?
- [ Panting ]

YOU ARE OUT
OF YOUR FUCKING GOURD.
NOW LISTEN TO ME.

I WANT YOUR TRUST,
AND I'M GONNA HAVE IT--

OHH.
[ Grunts ]

NOW, YOU WILL FOLLOW
THE REVEREND'S ORDERS.

IS THAT CLEAR ?
[ Gasping ]

GOOD.

NOW I BELIEVE YOU'LL
FIND THIS GAME UNIQUE.
[ Panting ]

IT'S ONE YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED
BEFORE AND NEVER WILL AGAIN,
SO MAKE THE MOST OF IT.

IT'S KNOWN AS
EXORCISING THE DEMONS.

IN MY CALLING,
IT'S THE ULTIMATE SALVATION,

AND ITS ENDS
ARE SACROSANCT.

WITH MY ECCLESIASTIC GIFT
PLUS THE GRACE OF GOD...

AND A LITTLE HELP
FROM SUPERMAN HERE,
[ Vibrator Humming ]

I SHALL BESTOW UPON YOU THE
SUPREME HUMANITARIAN BLESSING...
[ Whimpering ]

AND GIVE YOU YOUR FREEDOM.

YOU, UH-- YOU DO
WANT THAT, DON'T YOU ?
[ Humming Stops ]

- I KNEW YOU WOULD.
- [ Panting ]

[ Whimpers ]
WHAT'S THE GAME, REVEREND ?

SUDDEN DEATH.
NOW SMILE.

- SMILE, PIG !
- [ Joanna Yells ]

WHY ARE YOU
DOING THIS ?

WHY ?

MY MISSION HAS ALWAYS
BEEN YOUR SALVATION,

BUT YOU NEVER TRUSTED ME;
YOU REFUSED TO SEE.

BUT I SAW. I LOOKED
AT YOU, AND I SAW MYSELF.

I SAW THE SAME ESCAPE,
THE SAME MALIGNANCY.

BUT I KNOW THE CURE, AND I KNOW
HOW DESPERATELY YOU NEED IT,

AND ONLY I CAN
GIVE IT TO YOU.

I WANT TO, JOANNA.
WHY ?

BECAUSE...
IT'S MY GIFT TO YOU--
FREEDOM.

THE ONLY THING
I HAVE LEFT TO GIVE.

YOU REFUSED IT ONCE,
BUT THIS TIME
YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.

GETTING INTO
THE PART, MY LOVE ?
I KNOW I AM.

GO FUCK YOURSELF.
[ Spits ]

"GO FUCK YOURSELF."
[ Chuckles ]

NOT A VERY NICE THING
TO SAY TO A MAN OF THE CLOTH.

REMEMBER, SCUMBAG, I'M HERE
FOR YOUR BENEFIT ! GOT THAT ?
[ Cries Out ]

HEALTHY-LOOKING PLANTS.
YOU MUST WATER THEM DILIGENTLY.

I'VE ALWAYS PREFERRED
PLASTIC FLOWERS, MYSELF.

I COULD NEVER BEAR
TO WATCH THE REAL ONES DIE.

THAT'S THE TROUBLE WITH
LIVING THINGS, I SUPPOSE.

INEVITABLY, THEY DIE.

YOU'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYONE DIE, HAVE YOU ?

CERTAINLY NOT UP CLOSE.

THAT SWIFT,
FINAL GASP AND THEN...

-ABSOLUTE SILENCE.
-[ Panting, Sobbing ]

THE STILLNESS OF THE BODY
AS THE FLESH TURNS WHITE.

YOU'RE TERRIFIED RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE YOU THINK OF IT
AS DEATH.

BUT, UH,

THINK OF IT
AS... FREEDOM.

I'M HERE TONIGHT...

BECAUSE I WANTED TO FINALLY

MY WIFE AND I,

WE SPLIT UP FOR GOOD.

THAT'S RIGHT.
ME, THE BOY SCOUT.

[ Chuckles ]
I JUST NEVER HAD THE GUTS
TO ADMIT THE TRUTH,

THAT AMY AND I HAD JUST
STOPPED LOVING EACH OTHER.

THERE'S NOBODY TO BLAME.

THAT'S JUST WHAT HAPPENED.

THEN...

I MET THIS WOMAN, JOANNA.

SHE SAVED MY LIFE.

WE'RE TOGETHER NOW.

I'M NOT SURE
IF IT'S GONNA WORK OUT.

WE DON'T HAVE A, A WHOLE
HELL OF A LOT IN COMMON,

OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT...

THAT WE BOTH NEED HELP...

AND EACH OTHER.

THE THING, YOU SEE,
THAT SCARED ME THE MOST...

DURING MY MARRIAGE...

WAS JUST ADMITTING
THAT I WAS SCARED...

AND LETTING AMY DOWN.

WELL, I CAN'T PRETEND ANYMORE.

I WAS SCARED SHITLESS
TO COME BACK HERE.

I TOLD JOANNA.

AND SHE TOOK ME
IN HER ARMS...

AND SHE SAID,

"IT'S OKAY TO BE SCARED."

I FELT STRONGER...

AND FREER...

AND MORE LIKE A MAN THAN
I'VE EVER FELT BEFORE
IN MY LIFE.

THEN WE FUCKED OUR BRAINS OUT.
