Post by bunniefuu »

Smurf thinks someone's talking to the cops.

They told me I was gonna go to jail for 20 years.

This detective shows up, and he, uh, starts asking questions about you and your brothers.

You just bailed.

- Sorry.

- What, that's it?

No explanation, nothing?

We're fine.

I've got this.

You're following her.

Smart.

We're done.

Stay away from me.

Get up.

[GRUNTS]

Thank you, Pam.

PAM: You look like a Jake.

Is that a good thing?

That bitch Pam stole our money.

What, you think this is funny?

The headliner stipulates certain items they want in their buses.

Diamond tennis bracelets, 50 grand in ones.

I can get us passes to park VIP.

There are four light and sound boards that the headliners use backstage.

Go for about 70K each.

Could we get an ambulance?

No one's gonna question an ambulance leaving the concert.

POPE: She has cancer.

She won't let me tell my brothers.

She stares deeply Locked inside me Burnin' brightly One they know that I cannot take Waitin' for it all to begin Every night now, they'll win Come and meet my black hole Got a big black hole Got a big black hole I've got a big black hole I've got a big black, big black hole Got a big black hole inside of me Got a DERAN: Does Livengood have kids?

Uh, I think that he's married.

He wears a ring.

- I don't know about kids.

- Find out.

Where does he go when he leaves work?

I-I don't know anything about him.

We always met at a government building or out somewhere.

I I have no idea where his house is.

84 Oak Street.

How do you know that?

If he's married, maybe he's got a girlfriend, boyfriend.

So should I follow him?

Yeah, we want to get dirt on this guy, push him back a little bit.

Blackmail.

Look, if you want to get out of this, you're gonna have to do some sh*t you're uncomfortable with, okay?

[CELLPHONE CHIMES]

He showed me pictures of Ox.

They found his body in a landfill in Mexico.

Yeah.

Well, if Ox d*ed in Mexico, he was probably talking to the wrong people.

You don't know anything about it?

Are you asking me if I k*lled someone?

[SIGHS]

Cops are gonna tell you anything to manipulate you.

It's literally legal for them to lie.

Hey.

I don't k*ll people.

Look, cops are scumbags.

We just got to figure out what kind of scumbag Livengood is.

I gotta go.

[TRACKER BEEPING]

Hey.

Look what I found.

"Bride of Chucky," "Scream," "Blade.

" Wanna act like we're 15 again and have a horror fest today?

I'll hold your hand if you get scared.

I have to spend the day with my brothers and Smurf.

Smurf?

She left.

When?

I don't know.

Yesterday, I think.

Y-You should go out.

For a while, at least.

Okay.

So, tonight?

Yeah, I don't know when I'll be back.

I I've been around your family since I was 6 years old.

I know what you guys do.

I'm cool with it.

We don't have a VCR anymore.

I'll look for one.

The other day, there was this homeless guy that was going through my trash.

Know who it was?

Trent Ridehauser.

Trent Ridehauser?

Yep.

I hated that kid.

Such an assh*le.

He used to make fun of the wheelchair kids, man.

- What a d*ck.

- That's right.

I put a rat trap in the trash and put a layer of soda cans on top.

And at like 6:00 a. m. , cr*ck!

I think he snapped his pinky or some sh*t, 'cause he was whining like a little bitch outside my house for like a full minute.

How's Renn?

Ah, she moved out.

Why'd she move out?

Pfft.

Don't know.

Look, you don't wanna be doing that baby-raising sh*t.

Won't get any sleep.

Gotta feed the thing like 14 times a day.

Nah, you're right.

I mean, I remember when I raised you.

[SIREN WAILING]

Look how you turned out.

Exactly my point.

[RADIO CHATTER]

All right.

I'll catch you back at the shop.

[FREE'S "FIRE AND WATER" PLAYS]

Every single day I got a heartache comin' my way I don't want to say goodbye All the cars in town, and we steal this piece of sh*t?

Know what happens when you steal nice cars?

People notice.

All these trailers look the same.

You sure this is the right place?

Yeah.

I came here with her once to get medicine for her kid.

What's the plan?

If we find her?

Fire and water must have made you their daughter It's that one.

You've got what it takes To make a poor man's heart break A poor man's heart break And my heart is breakin', too Clothes are gone.

Well, yeah.

Would you steal 8 grand and then go home?

Probably halfway to Nebraska or some sh*t by now.

Jesus.

I'm not surprised that she ripped us off.

I'd wanna get out of this dump, too.

You're not gonna find one red cent.

I guarantee.

You're wasting your time.

I'm going for a smoke.

[POPPERS SNAPPING]

- [POPPER SNAPS]

- Wow!

That's loud.

[GIRL WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]

Oh, it's okay.

I'm Miss Pam's best friend.

Phoenix's aunt.

You know Phoenix, right?

Good.

Because I have his $2.

And I thought maybe you could hold the $2 and give it to him later.

Okay.

Where is Phoenix?

'Cause it looks like they moved.

At his grandma's.

Where is that?

Here.

DERAN: Smurf's car's not here?

No.

I texted her like three times.

What about you, J?

You see her this morning?

- No.

- She here last night?

I don't know.

It's weird, man.

She knows it's going down today, right?

Yeah, she's done this sh*t before.

Remember, she went off to Reno before that ATM thing?

With Pope's karate instructor.

What was his name?

Sensei Dan?

All right, we gotta start.

EMT badges.

This has a bar code on it.

They gonna scan these?

They'll work.

What about the ambulance?

Yeah, we put new decals and plates on it and stripped the GPS.

Uniforms?

So, we enter the stadium through the service ramp.

Then what?

Take a right, go 500 feet towards ambulance parking, stop just before it so that the EMTs don't start chatting us up.

I go the other way, towards the pimped-out orgy buses, - which are by the loading dock.

- And where is that?

On the left.

Where on the left?

Craig, we go over it so we don't make mistakes.

A few hundred feet on the left.

You sure about security?

Rent-a-cops.

Plus, when the music starts, they're all be up onstage.

We good to go?

- Yeah.

- No.

Who's gonna bake the pie?

For after the job, if Smurf doesn't make it back in time.

It's not about the pie.

It means that we got the job done and that everyone's back safe.

It means something.

I'll stop by Safeway and pick up a pie.

- Yeah.

- All right.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

It's way easier to hit a couple banks than to spend three days not finding her.

"Cut our losses?" I don't know about you, but if somebody hits me, I hit back.

We don't know where she's at, Lou.

So let's go back to that diner where she worked and start putting b*ll*ts in people till somebody talks!

[STRAINED]

Yeah.

I'm good.

Who was that?

CRAIG: Rahul.

Been watching us since we stole his bike.

Yeah, or it was Frankie.

Maybe she was pissed that we pulled that sh*t with Rahul.

It's not Frankie, man.

How could you be so sure of that, Craig?

- How can you?

- Shut up.

Whoever it was knew what we were up to.

Well, maybe whoever hit us took Smurf.

No, nobody took Smurf.

Well, then, where the hell is she?

[DOOR OPENS]

sh*t.

- Jesus.

- Where have you been?

If I left, it would've looked suspicious.

What did they take?

The cash and the jewelry.

The sound boards are okay?

The sound boar Two of them are okay.

The other two are pretty banged up.

I don't know I don't know how they work.

What about the ambulance?

We bleached it as best we could.

Okay.

And the guy the guy that you jacked, - did he see your face?

- No.

We put on masks.

[SIGHS]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Look, if anyone needs a hospital, we're gonna need to go to Mexico.

I just can't move my fist, but, uh I'll live.

Whoever did this sh*t to us is out there right now.

Okay.

We lay low.

I'll talk to the fence.

She'll know if someone's trying to move this jewelry, and when they do, we hit them.

And until then, what?

We hide?

No, the cops could show up here any minute.

They're always up our ass.

Then we don't tell them anything.

They're gonna ask us why we're hurt.

We need a cover.

Well, then we stage an accident.

My bike won't work, but Well, I was at the show, so I'm good.

Not the Scout.

Well, you got a van.

Yeah, okay.

Let's go.

Come on.

[SIGHS]

Feel like I'm gonna puke.

[DOOR LOCKS]

"Lay low.

Talk to the fence.

" Who knew to hit that ambulance?

You've been sneaking around.

We get hit, but you're fine!

One of them said to say hi to my nephew.

That poor excuse of a man is the reason that I'm out 8 grand.

Did you sell the van?

No.

It actually drives pretty good.

I thought I'd keep it.

Those guys are never gonna let you be one of them.

I don't want to be one of them.

Oh, you think they gonna take orders from you?

Hmm?

Throwing up every morning.

You gonna?

You go back, you tell them you couldn't find me.

You can get rid of it if you want.

I know a doctor in Reedley.

- I'll give you a name.

- I want the van, too.

Not the van.

I go back there and tell them where you are, they're gonna come here and k*ll you.

Fine.

You know, kids aren't the worst thing, if you can take the beginning.

Like, my boy is gonna be big someday.

He love me more than anybody.

You got anybody that love you like that?

Hmm?

Kids slow you down.

Like you got somewhere to go.

Mm What would I do with a baby?

Love it.

Feed it and let it grow.

Same thing everybody else does.

It's not that hard.

You just need to start thinking bigger.

I'll get your money.

So, I'm gonna ask you again Did you pull a job today?

Where's the rest of his sh*t?

It's in the back of Tupi's truck.

I told you to stay away from the Codys.

I told you not to be running sh*t behind my back.

And now, look this fool, he ain't nothing.

Nothing but addition by subtraction.

You, Mia you disappoint me.

I'm not gonna do it for you.

She's your problem to deal with.

Or not.

- How'd you do it?

- I watched you.

Your uncles stealing the ambo, you in the arena it wasn't that hard.

You need to tighten your game up.

I can help you with that.

What did you expect?

You treat me like a whore, and then you treat me like your maid?

Fine.

Pull the trigger.

That's what you have to do to me now.

It's not that easy, is it?

I can do that work for you.

All that blood and those little bits of brain and skull?

Doesn't bother me.

You and me, J, we could be whatever we want.

You and me, we're the same.

We understand each other.

We're not the same.

I k*lled Baz.

Pete paid me to k*ll your dad, and Smurf paid him to do it.

Is that who you're gonna trust?

They're not your family.

Family doesn't do that to family.

Maybe not.
