[bunniefuu]

*Louie, Louie *

* Aye-yi-yi-yi *

*Louie, Louie. *

All you have to do is make the exchange.

-Unique New York.
-What if he figures it out?

We'll protect you.

Red leather, yellow leather. Red leather, yellow leather.

His g*n's the size of my arm.

We're Secret Service.

-So?
-Ever seenIn the Line of Fire?

You'll take a b*llet for me?

He will.

Betty Botter bought a bit of bitter butter.

But the bit of butter was too bitter for the batter.

What if he goes crazy and kidnaps me?

Already tagged his car. You just do what you've always done.

-It's not gonna do that, is it?
-Let's hope not.

* Aye-yi-yi-yi *

-He knows.
-He doesn't.

Yeah, he does.

He might.

-Seriously?
-Tracker just went dead.

I want a cop outside my house.

That'll just draw attention.

So will my dead body in the Detroit River.

-Let's not lose our heads.
-I want my husband out.

-Not till we know where the money goes.
-I did everything you said.

Except the only part that matters.

That's not on me.

Kinda is.

Trackers sometimes glitch.

Wait. What is a pet emergency?

Because this is an actual emergency.

Nanny flaked.

-Where's Dad?
-Chicago.

Some zit cream convention.

Yes! Samples. Why do none of these friggin' things work?

Well, how does tomorrow help me when the meeting is today?

Okay. Okay, okay.

Um, why don't you just, uh, let me know about Gizmo's MRI, okay?

Bye.

Why don't you get somebody to cover for you?

Because it's not like your mini-mart. I own the company.

So, reschedule the meeting.

It's a whole thing with the bank.

I could take him.

Really?

You have school.

Well, can't he skip?

It's one day.

You always did, right?

Not happening, my friend.

Mom, what is she supposed to do?

Uh, I don't know. Find literally anyone else.

-There's no one else.
-Well.

What about the retired guy who sleeps on his front porch?

He's not allowed around kids.

Your pool guy's like family.

He smokes weed all day in his truck.

Come on. Alex will bring me my homework.

I'll do it.

But Alex will be at school.

No, no, I.

I mean, I will watch Dakota.

Sorry.

Why can't I do it?

You can't even take care of the turtle.

How was I supposed to know that green stuff was mold?

-You can't even change a lightbulb.
-Those are all duds.

Obviously, I.

tried that. Look, I raised you.

Barely.

Excusez-moi?

Auntie Beth took me every day.

Because I was finishing eleventh grade.

It's fine. I'll figure it out.

Drop the kid.

It's very sweet of you to offer.

Do you remember when they found that toddler

wandering alone in the woods?

He made it for three days on his own.

I'm only one day.

If anything happens.

Nothing's gonna happen.

-Something's gonna happen.
-Go. Come on. Put it there.

-Okay.
-Yeah.

All right. The wipes are under the diapers.

Check.

-Butt rash stuff is in the side pocket.
-Check.

The binkie is in a Ziploc with the snacks.

Checkity, check, check.

And Mommy will always, always love you so, so much.

I think that's enough. Go, go. Go.

-Go!
-Okay.

Guess I got school.

Hey, baby.

I forgot the sauce.

What are you talking about?

The chimichurri for your lunch.

Ooh. Uh, doesn't need it.

Meatloaf and no chimichurri?

Don't worry about it.

-I'll just drop it off.
-Nah.

I'm in the neighborhood.

No, no, no. It's crazy here. You know how it is on Wing Wednesday.

I'm not getting on the pole, Stan. I'll put it in the fridge.

-I already ate it.
-You did?

Well, I'm eating now.

-Not too dry?
-Mmm-mmm.

Mmm-mmm. It's just as good sans sauce. Mmm.

I find that hard to believe.

You want me to lie to you?

Just want to make sure you're taken care of.

Always, baby.

-Cool.
-Cool.

Later, Hill.

Later, Hill.

I'd take that sauce if you're offering.

Dean hides junk food.

Where were you last night?

What are you doing?

Better watch your back.

Maybe he doesn't know.

At a minimum, he suspects.

I read about this lady

who turned on her drug dealer in Florida.

Stop reading those.

Wired up.

Surveillance helicopter tracked her.

-The whole shebang.
-That doesn't mean it's gonna be us.

They found her stuffed in a suitcase.

I can't.

She was sh*t with the g*n

that the cops sent her to buy.

I cannot.

At the airport.

How is this helping?

She was his carry-on.

It's like I give him the bah-bah because he acts like he wants it.

But then he doesn't want it.

And then, when I take it away, he wants it again. Like, what.

Why'd you bring him here?

I've tried everything.

Excuse me.

I mean, there's heavy machinery.

I've gone all Harvey Karp on his ass at this point.

With the shushing, and the swaddling and the shaking--

Shaking's not one of them.

This is exactly why I need you.

Oh. Oh, now you want it.

We have bigger problems here.

-Will you just give it to him?
-No way.

This is a sick, twisted little game he's playing. I won't give in.

-Give me that.
-Well.

What's up your butt?

I'll tell you what isn't.

Oh.

Huh.

What?

I don't know. Just not what I imagined.

What did you imagine?

You know, something sleeker.

This is kind of giving me, like, ' s pager vibes.

-She's not wrong.
-I mean, not something to track a car.

Oh, God.

Kid's hungry.

Got a bottle?

Uh. I. It's.

Seconds count.

Got a lovey?

Okay, what is. What's a.

Oh, the.

I'm not gonna need those.

He doesn't want the drop?

It's not drop day.

What day is it?

Just go get in the car.

Uh, she.

She can't.

I can't.

Why's that?

The baby.

What about it?

I can't be left alone with him.

-And what about you?
-My kids are grown.

Then this won't be fun.

"Seafare Pool and Patio."

Mmm. Sounds nice.

Back on the horse.

Do what you love, you don't work a day in your life.

Too bad my boss is such a D-I-C-K.

You can swear in here.

She's the worst.

Can't be worse than Gayle.

Are you kidding me?

No, who else would hire me?

Bet she loves that I'm in here.

Mmm.

Well, made any friends?

It's not a frat.

-Least you get to work out.
-Mmm.

You have to be in the Blood Lords to use the equipment.

Well, what about classes? You know, like art?

You know, pass the time.

Can't use paintbrushes anymore.

Why?

This lifer? He plucked a guard's eyeball out with one.

Ugh.

That's raw, dawg.

I've got to get out of here, man.

How's Beth doing with the bail?

I think she wants me in here. King me.

Why would she want that?

So she can hump the tats off her boyfriend.

Mmm.

I'm gonna get you out.

How are you gonna score a hundred grand?

Let me worry about that.

You live in a basement.

You're my best friend.

With a roommate.

Your move.

Are you letting me win?

Don't get too comfy in here.

Oh, no, no, no. I'm good, man.

Come on, join me.

Ah, you know, it's the middle of the day.

That's why I don't wear a watch. Come on.

Yeah.

You're a good guy, Stan.

Uh, thanks.

You're funny.

You know how to talk to people.

Not too bad on the eyes, either.

-What's that?
-You work out?

Uh, I hit the gym when I can.

Bet those girls at the club can't keep their hands off you, huh?

Stanimal, huh?

Hey, man, there's no touching in the champagne room.

Don't got to worry about me.

Who do I got to worry about, Gene?

Someone I want to be in business with.

Why me?

I can't seem to close her.

-I have a wife.
-Oh.

Oh, the bitch who stole my money.

Come on now.

I'd be happy to put her to work if you're not up to it.

She's in room .

What's the deal?

It's easier if you put it on the side.

What are you on, cr*ck?

She is not.

Middle's the safest spot in the vehicle.

Whatever works.

Let's roll.

Y'all realize we're using a baby as a human shield.

You're gonna need this.

And this.

Why can't he do it?

Boss is laying low.

And why can't you do it?

You're the banker.

Maybe it'll be okay.

How so?

You can't k*ll the banker.

Unless.

whoever's waiting behind that door is gonna take you out.

Not every thought in that head has to come out.

Ooh. Plus, he took the tracker so they have no idea where we are.

There's another one.

Hello?

Hello?

Is anybody here?

Nobody move!

Give me the ' Mantle rookie.

Can I help you?

Uh.

I'm the banker?

-Is she alive?
-No.

-What?
-No.

It's Nancy.

She wants proof of life.

Oi. Okay.

Could've used one of those from Stan.

Why, where is he at?

Not anywhere he says he is.

I thought he, like, lived at work.

That's what he says.

Where's the man work?

Um, Sweet P's.

Place with the shaved ham?

Oh, whoa.

We prefer gentlemen's club.

Why?

I mean, you gonna say it or am I?

Come on.

Say what?

He's a bouncer.

And I bet those chicks know how to show their appreciation.

Okay, you know what? This is a family matter, so.

Um, you don't know my husband.

You're right. Man's got lady gardens in his face all day.

Bet he can't wait to get home.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

He is always tired.

Because he's always working.

In lady gardens.

I'm the banker.

Excuse me.

Yeah, give me a minute.

I'm the banker.

I'll be right back.

* I don't wanna be here *

* I don't wanna be here *

* I don't wanna be here. *

I'm the banker.

* Why'd you bring me here? *

* Giving me bad dreams *

* Can't scream, bad dream *

* How did I wake up surrounded by walls? *

* How did I break all my bones? *

* Keep banging the concrete To blow up. *

I'm the banker.

* I'm covered in plastic. *

I'm the banker.

Heard of me?

Yeah, the banker.

* Mommy, wake up, I can't sleep *

*I need some comfort from my dreams *

* I swear I saw you dancing With some specters. *

I'm the banker, bitch.

What did you just call me?

I'm sorry.

I'm the banker.

The what?

Who's the owner here?

My mom.

Is she available?

She's, uh.

She's sick.

Well, did she happen to leave any cash around?

Let me see here.

I got gold bars. Bunch of diamonds.

Nope.

No cash.

Okay.

Your mother pays my employer monthly.

For what?

Well, I guess you could say for protection.

From who?

From him.

Get out of here.

I'm sorry if this is a hard time.

What do you want me to do?

Maybe sh**t her a quick call?

Sure. Yeah, I'll just have the nurse
hold up the phone to her dialysis machine

and you can shake it down.

-Okay, I feel terrible--
-It'll magically turn into an ATM.

Is there anyone else here I could talk to?

What is wrong with you?

I just need my money.

Or what?

He text you back yet?

Mmm.

You know, the nipples,

the G-strings.

It's just what he does.

It's not who he is.

Are you gonna finish that?

Oh, my God. Will you turn the heat down? It's like Arizona in here.

Little guy sleeps better when it's warm.

He hasn't woken up yet.

Oh.

No! My God!

-Just get it already.
-She's trying to FaceTime.

-I'll get it.
-Oh.

Yeah, sure. Because the complete
stranger with the. This whole message

is really gonna calm her down.

Oh, Jesus. She finished early.

We.

You got it?

Yep. All there.

-You sure?
-Positive.

Because if not, you'll have a situation.

Do you want to count it?

It won't be on me.

Let me guess.

He trusts you.

I hate to make this about me, but, uh.

any chance we could get this show on the road?

* Do you remember When you were quite small *

* Crew cut and pigtails School in the fall *

* Autumn leaves brightened the earth *

* A new season was giving birth *

* To feeling that warms the soul *

* Mother rescue for the fold *

* Feel good, feel good, feel fine *

* Oh, such a lovely day *

*Feel good, feel good, feel fine *

* Oh *

* Years gone by, can you remember? *

* So, pull the Christmas things A warm December *

* Think of the many years gone by *

* Turn the page and give it a try *

* Feel good, feel good, feel fine *

* Oh *

* Such a lovely daze *

* Fantasy is sometimes real *

* Can you understand? *

* Life is hard Have you felt what I feel? *

* Ooh *

* Someone takes your hand *

Mommy.

Can I play a game on your phone?

Yeah.

Just be careful with it.

Y'all open?

I told you to get out.

What about with one of these in your face?

Just your basic Glock, right?

Front and rear sights. Polymer grip.

Extractor.

Slide. Slide release.

Blah, blah, blah.

-What am I supposed to do with it?
-Pick it up.

No. I don't want it.

And my daughter doesn't wanna wear a
helmet when she rides her scooter.

But you know what?

Bad things happen.

I'm sure your mom would agree.

I'm gonna call the cops.

Go ahead.

He'll just send someone else.

It's not fair.

That's what the g*n's for.

All right.

Oh.

Almost forgot.

Better watch your back.

"Sleep tight, goose."

"Sleep tight, moose."

"Sleep tight, bear with the fuzzy, fuzzy hair."

I meant to be here sooner. There were a million documents to sign.

-It's fine. We just got out of the bath.
-Oh, how's my little man?

-He's still breathing.
-I know.

Ooh.

When did you last change him?

Oh. Just now.

Mmm-mmm.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

What is that?

His ding-a-lingy.

It's a rash. Did you use the cream?

Yeah, of course.

Which one?

The one that said diaper cream.

There are two. I told you to use the one in the side pocket.

-Well, what's the difference?
-One works and one does not.

-Then why do you have the other one?
-In case of emergency.

That makes no sense.

Well, now he's got a rug burn on his crotch.

-He didn't tell me that he was--
-Because he can't speak.

No, I mean he didn't indicate that he was uncomfortable.

You know what, just get me a new diaper, please.

Okay.

Yes. We're gonna get it fixed.

I'm sorry. I.

No, no. You know what? It's my fault.

Why?

Because I left a child with a child.

Okay. Almost.

-All right, what do I owe you?
-Nothing.

Fine.

Okay.

I, um.

really, really, really wanted to get this one right.

Why?

I don't know. I guess just to know I could.

Sorry.

Tell it to his little sac.

Yeah.

Jesus!

Rough day?

Not what I planned.

You got something you want to tell me?

'Cause I'd really love to hear it from you.

Straight from the banker's mouth.

I'm sorry, what?

Books didn't balance.

Oh. Um.

One of your customers needed a little bit more persuading.

That's this month and next.

Good.

Glad it didn't have to get messy.

Glad it's done.

What's that?

Oh, darling, no, no. We're just getting started.

Why?

'Cause I've got to sit tight.

Why me?

You're my girl.

Unless. you're not.

It just.

you know, feels a little risky.

How's that?

Shaking down all these people when maybe someone is still watching.

Yeah, but all they'll see is you.

So.

Whoa.

-Hmm?
-You still going, huh?

Is that a problem?

Can you take Harry to quiz bowl tomorrow?

Let me check.

You like Mama's new purse?

Yeah.

You think I'm worth it?

Of course you are.

Who is she?

Who are you?

It's so obvious, I can't even believe it.

You're going through my car now?

-What's next, my email?
-Oh, I already did that.

So you think I'm some kinda player?

Exhausted all the time, coming home late--

-He had me making a business deal.
-Body glitter?

Listen, don't get me wrong, she would've--

Smelling like all kinds of wrong.

That's part of the job.

What about the lying straight to my damn face?

-I am not sleeping around.
-Is that part of the job, too?

-It is when you put me in this.
-What does that mean?

Who you think's paying off your debt?

You said insurance covered it.

It's not about money.

What's it about, then?

You can't just take from a guy like him.

Jesus.

Yeah.

What's he got you into?

Whatever Gene needs.

For how long?

How long you into it with your guy?

No, keep it.

It looks real, right?

-Perfect? I mean, close.
-Mmm-hmm.

There's more coming right behind it.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Why?

I just never knew you had a floor.

-It's wood!
-Who knew?

Oh, hey, by the way, the kitch is fully stocked.

You got your sour gummy candies, your sweet gummy candies,

and then a bunch of the really sour sweet ones.

Is this 'cause of the baby thing?

What baby thing?

What Nancy said about Dakota.

What did she say?

That he loved you and you did really awesome.

Cool.

-Mom?
-Yeah?

Why'd you take the turtle out?

I didn't.

On the outside.

-Gate three.
-Gate three.

* I feel the gloom On those peaceful days *

* What overwhelms my existence *

* I see the beacon and it's warning me *

* To wander into your arms. *

How'd you do it?

Look, I'm not some big, dirty thug. I can't keep doing this.

Don't have much of a choice.

Well, can't we just. sit tight?

Like I said, don't have much of a choice.

Why?

Because I also have people to answer to.

Oh, and, uh.

they're gonna wanna meet you.

He's got a boss.
