So, did you enjoy your last meal at the restaurant?

You sure do love tea, stranger.

Yeah, but there wasn't much variety on the menu.

Yeah, but what we serve is really good.

Wow.

I think I'm good.

On.

You can come by Sappy Joe's anytime.

I'm gone on it.

You in town long?

Yeah.

I'm late.

I gotta get to work.

Stop by sometime.

Yeah, definitely.

I'll be by for sloppy seconds.

Well, it's time to open up.

I wonder why Wednesdays are so much slower.

I think it's that factory across the street. They work triple shifts today.

might have something to do with it. Mm -hmm.

You think we should go back to staying open 24 hours? You know, we could serve

breakfast.

Nah, there's too much trailer trash for the graveyard shift.

What's wrong? Is that Thompson bothering you still?

Yeah, you know those bank presidents are. That's threatened foreclosure.

But you haven't even missed a payment.

Well, one of those balloon deals are coming up in about two months.

And he just thinks I might not be able to make it.

Hey, excuse me.

Yeah. Do you know of any place around here that gets some food handy?

Oh, yeah. Best place in town. Place called, uh, yeah.

Robbie Goat. No. What are the waitresses like?

Ah, ain't no baggers. There's no double baggers.

Where do I go?

That's three blocks down yonder. Make a left.

Good luck there.

Hold down the Fort Willie, Kay. I'll be back in my office.

What, next week's order?

That and Bank of Thompson.

Excuse me, is this Sloppy Joe's?

You read the sign?

What can I get you, Road Dust?

I got a hankering for some cold cuts.

This ain't no deli.

Okay, how about a burger and some coffee?

Why don't you have a look at the menu?

We have no burgers, and you might want to think twice about that cup of coffee.

Holy shit!

Eight bucks for a cup of coffee?

You guys have a loan app or something I could fill out?

Look, number one, coffee's not good for you, all right? The caffeine junkies

will come in and pay for it. I mean, that's why we charge so much.

But we've got great tea, and it's only 50 cents a cup.

Fine. And it's a lot more healthier for you.

Fine, then give me turkey meatloaf sandwich and some tea.

What kind you got?

Well, we've got all kinds, but I especially recommend the blackberry.

in blackberry

Can I get you any dessert?

Sorry, I can't afford it.

Well, the dessert's on the house here.

I'm not really hungry.

What kind of dessert you got anyway?

Well, let me tell you.

It's a specialty here at Sloppy Joe's.

And it's a dessert unlike any kind you've ever had.

Then I guess I'm game.

Come on over here.

Leave your pack right there.

Go in here and wait for me.

I'm going to go try and see if Ed's one -minute hair treatment works.

Get comfortable now.

Oh.

hmm

Oh. Oh.

Oh.

Oh. Oh.

oh oh

No way.

I'm curious.

I'm sorry.

It's a slow day. I'm gonna run a few errands. You girls ready to take over

shift?

Well, actually, I gotta go uptown also.

It'll only take a few minutes.

Cover for me, Kelly?

Sure, no problem. Just as long as you don't take too long.

But knowing you, Kelly, it'll be next week. Thanks.

Can I help you?

Yes. I heard this is a very special kind of eatery if you get my drift.

I don't.

Well, I understand you'd serve a special kind of second in a back room

somewhere.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Sure you do, and I'd like to have some of that.

Who's ever told you this is sadly mistaken, but we do reserve the right to

refuse service to anyone, and Mr. Hewitt has qualified. It's time for you to go.

So I get the blowjobs out of the question.

Out. I don't think so.

You got a cigarette?

A little tea.

A little chili and some coffee.

Yeah, it's supposed to be 80 cents, not 8 bucks, right?

No, that's right. We discourage coffee drinking.

I'll make a blackberry tea.

I was hoping you'd say that.

One chili, one tea.

Hey, drifter boy.

How do you like that chili, kid?

Know what gives it that special flavor?

I make a big batch every night. Let it simmer all night and suit you together.

Know what that special secret is?

I don't know what.

When no one's looking, I'm eating it! Ha ha ha ha!

Just kidding, drifter boy.

Want another roll?

See you in Camarillo!

Better be kidding.

He is. Sorry about that.

He's a wizard cooking. He's just a bit eccentric.

Actually, he hasn't been the same since Del Shannon died.

You ever watch the movie The Wanderers?

Well, I'm a ducky boy.

You ever watch much TV?

Movies or shows?

Either.

You know, the movies in the 50s, 60s, and even early 70s caused me to come up

with an equation.

What equation?

Kiss equals fuck.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, the times were very Victorian.

So, you know, shows like Rawhide, where Rowdy Yates, at the end of every show,

they'd make up an excuse for him to kiss a girl.

Well, anyone with half a brain knew that meant fuck.

They just couldn't get into it.

I suppose you're right.

Yeah, this chili's pretty good.

I think I'll have seconds.

I was hoping you'd say that, too.

We serve seconds in the back room.

But actually, Doug's gone. He can use her room.

I've seen you around here before.

I've seen you in town.

What'll it be?

So you don't have any steaks up there, huh?

No, we try not to serve those.

But we got a 10 -ounce filet mignon, no fat.

All right, then give me two of those.

Make them well done. A cup of turnip barley soup, some coleslaw, and green

beans. No potatoes, no rice, nothing like that, okay? And a cup of iced tea,

also some hot blackberry tea.

You sound like a man who knows what he wants.

It'll be about a half an hour.

Don't forget, well done.

Just tea.

Make a blackberry.

Throw in a slice of blackberry pie.

Nah, on second thought, can that pie.

You don't want nothing to eat?

Maybe later.

A good friend of mine sold me this place.

So I just came in here for seconds.

You heard about this place.

You heard right.

What's your name, honey?

Listen.

You might just blow it, but shut up.

My honey, Joe.

This is Sloppy Joe?

Correct. Even I didn't know that.

Is Tilly on duty tonight?

No, Tilly's not here. But she told me a lot about you.

Why don't you two boys follow me?

for special friends and special customers.

You've never seen me before.

Yeah, but I've heard about you.

Wait till you see this.

Have you heard about this?

What is that, Bubblegum?

Bye.

Okay.

Oh.

Wow.

There's no one in this whole place?

You sure you don't want to sit at the counter?

This will be just fine.

Never turn your back on a room.

Not any room.

So, what's it going to be tonight?

Let me guess.

Steak?

Just some blackberry tea.

Really?

That's supposed to be some kind of signal.

You tell me.

I'm only here for a day or so.

What's your name, stranger?

Nosmo King.

Ah, no smoking.

I get it. That's cute.

So, uh, what do you do?

Waste management.

Never heard of that kind of job.

You want a second top?

Lobby second?

I think so.

Follow me.

Shigabooboo!

I do.

It was nice being with you.

You can stay here anytime you like. Oh, no.

I won't be coming back here.

You seem so sure about that.

Why not?

You ask me what I do.

Every once in a while I tell someone. Someone that I'll never see again.

So I'll tell you.

Keep your eye out for the paper in the next couple of days.

You'll find a story in there.

A story about an executive business type.

has been killed.

And that will have been deemed necessary by many, many others.

What are you talking about?

Like I said, I tell someone every once in a while and then I'm gone.

And they never see me again.

I'm a hired killer. I kill people for money. No emotional involvement

whatsoever.

And by the time anybody finds out...

And thousands of miles away.

You are so full of shit.

See what I mean? That's what I mean.

It's easy for me to talk about this. Because every time I do, nobody believes

me.

But mark my words. Keep your eye out for the paper.

And when you read that story,

think kindly of me.

And I've been with you.

I'm going to go now.

Well, hey, wait a minute.

Okay.

If by some chance you tell me the truth,

I'd be

afraid.

Not really.

I'm very careful, and I never make mistakes.

Except for an occasional...

White noise.

I don't want to talk about this anymore.

I don't want to talk about this anymore.

Mark, you don't want to give me a kiss goodbye?

No. I gotta go kill some money.

I gotta go kill some money.

Excuse me.

Can you tell me how to get to Sloppy Joe's Cafe?

Sloppy Seconds is what most folks around here calls it.

I see you heard of the place.

Yeah, not as well as I'd like to.

Feels I got this strange way of picking who goes into the back room or why.

Look, you're going to exercise your mouth and you're going to get to the

Well, you got to go back down the alley where you came from. This time you got

to make a left.

All right.

Thank you. And good luck.

What?

There ain't but one in fifty who can wear a fucking hat and look that good.

Well, I'll tell you, there's only one woman in a hundred who says the word

right.

What'll it be?

Got a menu?

There ain't no steak and menus here.

It's all on the wall.

Go ahead and get me the scrambled eggs with black olives and the blackberry

toast tea.

You know what they say about scrambled eggs and black olives?

Yeah, as a matter of fact, I do. That's why I ordered them.

But I hate oysters.

You know, I heard about this place.

It'll be right up.

Scrambled eggs and black olives.

and black olives enjoy you know i heard this place has good food too

man

i would have known when i came in here i'd end up with two of you i would have

brought the vicks

But as it is, I just want to see you two play with each other for a little bit.

Does he?

Yeah.

Oh, oh.

Ah.

Hmm.

Yes we are.

Oh, I love that.

Oh,

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I like that cowboy, huh?

Oh, Jimmy fucked so good.

Oh, I want it right now. I want it right now.

Give it to me. Give it to me.

Thank you.

No.

Oh.

Cry your pussy on me. Cry your pussy on me. I want everything.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yeah.

You'll come back for a ride any time. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Much of a ride.

Thanks a lot.

I'll just leave if I'm not wanted.

I wasn't talking to you, Kelly. You know my back's just out of whack.

And you didn't read the newspaper?

Banker Thompson.

Found dead in his car last night.

A car accident?

No. Mysterious circumstances.

No. No, wait a minute.

Alice said she knew who the killer was.

Well, now they can't foreclose on you, Jo. Nope. And his successor eats here

regularly.

She said he wasn't lying.

Who? Who, Tilly?

It may have looked like an accident, but Alice said she waited on the killer.

Hmm.

Joe, you didn't have anything to do with this, did you?
