Hey.

Hey.

What?

Want a cup of coffee?

Want a cigarette?

What?

I'm a guy that's
offering to give
you a cigarette

and buy you
a cup of coffee.

What's your name?

John.

Sydney.

WAITRESS: You want
to see the menus?

No, I don't think so.

(WAITRESS POURING COFFEE)

Come from Vegas?

Reno?

From Vegas.

You lost some money?

No.

You won some money?

I broke even.

What were you playing?

Blackjack.

You know how to count cards?

What?

You said you were
playing blackjack.

Do you know how
to count cards?

No.

In my experience,
if you don't know
how to count cards,

you ought to stay
away from blackjack.

Well, thanks for
the tip, Mr. Helpful.

Hey, John.
What?

Hey, John,
we're sitting here.

I bought you a cup of coffee.
I've given you a cigarette.

Hey, John. Look at me.

You wanna be a wise ass,
go outside and take a seat.

If you want to talk to me,
if you want to talk
to me, well, then...

Never ignore
a man's courtesy.

Let's talk about Vegas.

Let's talk about
what happened to you,
because something did happen.

Maybe I can help.

You wanna help me?

You look like a man
that could use a friend.

You wanna be my friend?

Then give me $6,000.

Do you have that?

Can you give
a total stranger $6,000?

Because that's
my trouble, okay?

What do you need
$6,000 for?

I need it.
For what?

To bury my mother.

You went to Vegas
to win some money?

No, I went to
lose some money.

You went to win some money
to bury your mother?

To pay for her funeral?

That is very admirable.

I admire the intention.

I can't say it's
wise, though.

Do you have $6,000
to give me?

No, I can't.

I didn't think so.

Isn't there
someone who could...

Nope.

Family?

There's no one else,
okay? It's me.

It's just... I'm alone
and that's it, okay?

There you go.

That gonna be it?

Yeah, I think so.

Thank you.

How much money
do you have left?

Nothing.

If I were to give you $50,
what would you do with it?

I'd eat.

How long can you eat,
how long can you
live on $50?

I don't know.

I would bet not very long.

You would bet?

I tell you what.

You come with
me back to Vegas,
I'll loan you $50,

I'll show you
what you did wrong.

Why? What...
Look, what are you, man?

You think you're
Saint Francis
or something?

No, I don't think
I'm Saint Francis.

All right, look,
are you looking for a fag?

'Cause I'm not
some boy hooker,
if that's what you're after.

I'm not looking
for a hooker, John.

I'm offering you a ride.

I'm offering to
teach you something.

Yeah, well,
I'm telling you
something right now.

I don't suck dick, okay?

I understand that.

And this is
the last time I'll ask.

Do you want my help?

I'll fuck you up
if you fuck with me.

I know three types
of karate, okay?

Jujitsu, aikido
and regular karate.

Okay.

All right.

A, you give me a ride.

Two, you give me 50 bucks.

And C, I sit in the back.

And believe me,
if you pull anything,
I will fuck you up.

I believe you.

(SIGHS)

This is a nice ride,
actually.

Comfortable.
Mmm.

Can you pull
over for a second?

Can I get a
cigarette from you?

Mmm.

Thanks.

The lighter there,
it doesn't work.

Here.

No, thanks.

Lighter doesn't work.

I heard you, I just...

I just don't use matches.

You want to hold
the wheel a minute
while I light mine?

Thanks.

You gonna smoke that?

Nope.

So why don't you
use these matches?

It's just a rule
with me, okay?

I don't use matches.

Why not?

I had a really
bad experience once,

and I promised I'd
never use them again.

Tell me.

You know those big
monster books of matches,

like, those big daddy ones,

with, like, 40
matches in them?
Yeah.

I had one of those
in my pocket once

and they just lit on fire,
just exploded.

Wow. Matches
just went off?

Yeah. It was like...

It has something to do
with friction, I guess.
Spontaneous friction.

I mean, they just went off.

I mean, I'm standing there
in line for a movie

and all of a sudden,
just wham!

(EXCLAIMING)

Like that, you know?
Scared the shit out of me.

I had a third-degree
burn on my leg.

It was this close
to my dick.

And that was a...
That was a brand new
pair of jeans too, you know.

I mean, I thought about suing
that match book company, too.

You know,
what are you gonna do?
You know?

Things happen.
This happens, that happens.

Shit just happens,
you know?
You just deal with it.

John, I'm gonna
loan you 50 bucks.

So, why don't you
tell me what you're
gonna do with it?

You asked me before,
you know, I...

Well, you could
take it and play it.

Play it a certain way,
long enough
and hard enough

to get a bed
and a meal.

You're not gonna
win $6,000, though.

I can assure you of that.

Well, if you show me how
to do that, you know,

how to get a meal
and get a bed,

then I'll do that,
you know. I mean,

if you wanna show me.

The first thing
you do is you go
in the bathroom,

clean yourself up.

There's an attendant
in there has a
razor you can use.

Yeah, but I'm
growing a beard.

Once you're done,
find me in the bar.

How's that?

Much cleaner.

Okay?

Much better.

So, what now?

First of all,
I lied when I said $50.

You're gonna need $150.

I knew it.
Hey, hey, hey.

Just relax, John.
Listen to me.

You listening?

You go over there
to the slot machines,

you go to that woman
in the cashier's cage,

and you ask her
where you can
find the floor man.

She'll point to
a guy in a tuxedo,
the floor man.

You find this guy,
you approach him,
and you say...

John Finnegan.

So, anyway, I just, like...
I just flew into town and...

You know, I'm gonna be
playing this casino.

I like this place.

And I'm gonna be
spending some money and,

hey, you know,
I hope I win some money.

And I just need someone
to keep track of
what I'm spending,

you know, 'cause I'm
an impulsive gambler.

And...
Can I get a rate card?

I got it.
He gave it to me.

Good.

You take this $150.

You take it to that cashier,
and you cash it in
for dollar tokens.

He'll make a note
on the rate card

saying the amount
you've cashed
and the time of day.

Hi.
Hi.

I'd like $150
in dollar tokens
and there's my rate card.

There we are.
Good luck.
Thanks a lot.

SYDNEY: Now you're gonna
find your slot machine.

Find one that's off
to the side a bit,

but don't go unseen
by the floor man.

Sit at that machine
and you play $20.

Only 20, so make it last.

Play slowly, $1 at a time.

(INAUDIBLE)

Hey.
Hey.

Did you order a drink?

Huh?

Did you order a drink?

Oh, yeah.
They're free.

It'll turn out to be
a $150 cocktail.

Don't drink.

Okay. Sorry.

It's all right.

Did you finish that 20?

Almost.

Get your stuff.
Come with me.

Give the cashier
$100 in tokens.

She'll give you cash.
And get a bill.

Okay.

Hi.
Hi.

I'd like to cash
these in, please.

Would you like
a bill or some 20s?

A bill.

All right.

There you are.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

Now you're gonna give
this cashier the bill
and the rate card.

And ask for more tokens.

Hi.
Hi.

I'd like another $100
in tokens, please.

Here's my rate card.

There, sir.
Good luck.

Thank you.

So, how much
do you have on
your rate card now?

Well, I cashed $150 first,
then another $100, so $250.

And you have
only spent $20.

So, you just keep
circling the bill, John.

Cash to tokens,

tokens to cash.

There you are.

Now, slowly spend
what's left of the $50.

But that's just for show
when the floor man
comes around.

All right.

Do it for an hour,
take a break,

do it again for
an hour, and so on.

See you around.

Where?

I'll find you.

Hi.
Hi.

Look at that.

Started with
half of that.

We're not as lucky.
We're losing big time.

You are?
Yeah.

Yeah, I haven't
been playing that one.

Put a lot in here,
though.

I'd like to cash
these in again
for a bill, please.

WOMAN: All right.

MAN: Good luck.
JOHN: Thank you.

JOHN: Hey.

Oh, well.

(DINGING)

I need a bucket.

I need a bucket.

Hi.

Guess who.

Making a pretty
big investment here.

I need another 300
in tokens, please.

MAN: There we are. Good luck.

Yeah, I'll need it.

Thanks a lot.

(MAN CHATTERING ON TV)

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Hey. Hey, Sydney.

John.

Hey, I kept doing that
until I racked up
two grand on the rate card.

And it worked.
They gave me a room.

I totally got a room.

The guy comes up
to me and he's like,

"Can I get you
anything, sir?"

You know,
"Do you want a room?

"Can I get you
tickets to a show?"

I got two tickets
to a show.

I got you one.

Plus, that machine
I was playing?

I accidentally hit
it for 200 bucks.

It works.
Fucking A it does.

This what you do?

Not anymore.

Shit, Sydney. This is...
This is great,
I mean, really.

Thank you,
thanks a lot.

You're welcome.

Oh, I got that...

The $150 that
you gave me.

All right?

Good.

You want to hang out?
I got pay-per-view movies,

and I got a mini-bar.

It's got all sorts
of stuff in it.
No, thanks, John.

So, John, what
are you gonna do?

I don't know. I was...

I don't know.

Well, you can't
keep doing the
same thing all week.

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Uh, Sydney.

I was gonna ask you...

You know,
I was wondering, uh...

I mean, I know you
showed me all
this stuff, you know,

you taught me.

But I...
I still have to...

You can't win $6,000, John.

I told you that before.

I don't know
what I'm gonna do.

I... I have a friend
in Los Angeles, someone...

Maybe someone who can help.

I can make a call
for you, tell him
you're a friend,

so on and so forth.

Maybe we can work
this thing out here.

I think if you need
help paying for your
mother's funeral,

we can work it out.

I want you to see
that my reasons
for doing this

are not selfish, only this,

I'd hope that you would
do the same for me.

I would.

Thank you.

It's always good to
meet a new friend.

I'll see you later.

Are you gonna gamble?

Yeah.

Can I come down with you?

If that's what you want.

Yeah, just to watch,
you know.

(CHATTERING)

(EXCLAIMS)

Cupid.

Cupid has found its way.
Good to see you.

If there's
anything you want,
please don't call me.

WOMAN: Keno?
How are you?

Keno?

Things are going
well for you?

Keno?

Keno?

Yeah.

Play $2, please.
Thanks.

Mmm-hmm.

(CHATTERING)

Hello, Captain.
Hello again.

Do you remember my name?

Mmm.

Clementine.

That's right.
Just like the movie.

Exactly.

Do you remember my name?

Sydney.

Then why do you
call me Captain?

Because you seem like
the captain of a ship
to me, you know?

I see the way
John follows you
and worships you,

like you're his captain.

John is a very old friend.

WOMAN: Good luck, sir.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Boy, you're
a good tipper, Captain.

Tell me something.

Are you required to flirt,

to behave as you do
toward that table
of men over there,

maybe as some
part of your job?

They don't say to do it.

But if you don't...

Well, then I get
questioned, like,

"Why were you
so rude to them?"

And I mean,
I can't talk back.

I can't tell them
to fuck off and
leave me alone.

As a rule.

I'd also lose the tip.

Sounds like an
occupational hazard.

Well, you don't have
to do that with me.

Jimmy paid for your drink.

Thank you.

Thank you, Captain.

Hey, thanks.
You want another?

Yeah.

I'll have whatever
Syd's having.

Hi.

Hello.

Syd, you remember Jimmy.

He's a friend.
He lives up here.

Jimmy. Thanks
for the drink.

Hey, my pleasure.

Have a seat.

Jimmy works over
at the Sand Dunes.

Oh, yeah, I remember.

What do you...
You do what?

Well, I do some
consulting over there.

You know, security
on busy nights.

Parking lot?

No, no, I work
inside the casino.

He saw you playing Vegas
a few years back.

Jimmy, tell him.

Yeah, yeah. See,
I used to live there.

I saw you playing
crap over at the
original Dunes.

You bet the hard
eight for $1,000
and you pressed it for two.

Did I hit it?
Nah, you didn't hit it.

But it was a big-balls bet,
and I remembered your face.

Stupid bet.

You were with that
old dude with the...
With the voice thing.

(IMITATING ELECTRONIC VOICE)
He talks like that.
What's his name?

Excuse me.

Say, partner,
let me get one of
them cigarettes.

Oh, damn,
you ain't got no menthol?

No, man,
I don't do menthol.

Shit.

All right,
let me get a light, too.

So you gave up big-balls
bets on the hard way
to play keno, huh?

What's that,
a sign of aging?
(LAUGHS)

It passes the time.

Syd and I saw
a guy win 38 grand
playing keno once.

Played all day,
sat in the same spot,
something like 12 hours.

Must have cost him 4 grand
to win the 38, but, Jesus...

The other night
over at the Eldorado,

I saw a cat
have a heart attack

right at the craps table.

I mean,
he's in the middle
of a hot shoot,

starts getting
all bothered and
sweaty and shit,

next thing you know...

Bam!
Old motherfucker
just keels over.

Now, the joke of it is,
the game just
keeps going on.

I mean, people are yelling,
"Place the eight!"

"Somebody call an ambulance!"
"Place the nine!"
"Place the six!"

"Somebody dial 9-1-1!"

Meanwhile, this
old bastard's laying
on the floor, tongue out,

turning purple and shit.
Like... (CHOKING)

And people
are still playing!

WOMAN: Keno.

Keno, any winners?

No, not here.

But let's try it again.

Jesus, we are fucking
surrounded by pussy here.

Hey, hey, hey, Jimmy.

What?

It's not for my ears,
but hers.

She can hear
that sort of thing
across the lounge.

It puts her in a very
uncomfortable position.

Hey, hey, I doubt
if hearing she's got
a great pussy

puts her in an
uncomfortable position.

I just don't want it
coming from my table.

I don't know
if you knew this,
but, you know,

half the women
that work here are
take-home whores anyway.

They get off on that shit.

I got a friend, works
over at the Sand Dunes,
where I work.

This man's in
charge of corralling

all the cocktail waitresses
for that sort of thing.

I mean, he's in charge.

He is the pussy patrol.

Jimmy.
What?

Just, you know...

Hey, I live up here.
I know what
flies and what don't.

You know, to tell
a babe she's got
a nice ass

is no crime,
believe me.

You said it as
she walked away.

Hey, Jimmy,
let's go play.

We're waiting on
our drinks here.

Yeah, we'll get them
at the tables.

You got a point.

Sydney,
it was a pleasure
seeing you again.

John here's
got my digits.

Anything you
need in this town,
you call me.

Syd, I'll see you later.

I'll be here.

(INAUDIBLE)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)

MAN: One more time.
One more time.

How you doing?

Good, Sydney.
How are you today?

Six, six, six, six.

CLEMENTINE: Hi.

What are you
doing out here?

Fresh air.

I was... I was just
visiting my friend.

But we're not supposed
to be in the rooms,
you know, so...

I could lose my job.

But you'd be fired
if you told them
to leave you alone?

This is something...
I mean, if the hotel knew...

SYDNEY: Do you live alone?

CLEMENTINE: Yeah. I do now.

I had this girlfriend,
this roommate.

(CLEMENTINE SIGHS)

But it's a big
nightmare story.

Do you go to school?

No.

Do I look like
I go to school?

(CHUCKLES)
I don't know, maybe.

I'm not with all that,
you know...

What are you
saving up for?

Hmm?

Your job, the money
that you make,
are you saving?

No. I mean,
I have to make money,
you know.

I have bills.
I have an apartment
that I have to pay for.

I have a car.
I have a Camaro.

I mean, that costs
money, you know?

Every month I have
to pay my bills,

and if I don't then my
credit gets fucked up.

And I can't have
fucked-up credit,
because then I'm fucked.

You look at me as
a piece of shit now,

because you saw me
coming out of that room.

No, I don't.

Just a good girl, you know,
trying to save up,
open a beauty salon.

Maybe that, yes.

I don't know.

I don't want to open
a fucking beauty salon.

It's just...
It's so much different
than what you think.

Explain it to me, then.

I don't... I don't
do anything that
I don't want to do.

You understand?

Are you...

Are you gonna tell John
that you saw me?

No. I'm not.

So, I wanna know, like,

how do you know him?

Hey.

So you took care of him?

Sort of.

And you paid for her funeral?

We worked it out.

I think he's
pretty adorable,

the way he
follows you around
and looks up to you.

He orders the same
drinks as you, you know?

He dresses the same.

We share the same
tastes, I guess.

So, do you have real kids,
like, kids of your own?

Yes.

You married?

A boy and a girl, I...
No, I'm divorced.

I have a boy
about your age.

A daughter,
two years older.

Where do they live?

Well, I'm not sure.
I haven't spoken
to them in a while.

Well, that's too bad.

Yeah.

Maybe you'll see them.

Maybe.
(CLATTERING)

Fuck this!
I'm out of here!

Umm...

I'm going to...

I'll get a robe
and some shorts
or something.

Here's a robe and
some stuff for you.

Captain?

Yeah.

Do you want to fuck me?

Do you think that?

Well, you brought
me here.

Do you think that?

I don't know.

Well, you should
know before you ask
a question like that.

Well, it seems
like you're being
nice to me and...

So, you'd think
that I would want that.

Well, if you wanted
to fuck me then...

Stop saying that.

(SIGHING) It
just seemed like...

Well, don't let it
seem that way.

This is a comfortable
bed for you.

I want you to sleep on it,

to give you something, to...

A place to have
a nice shower
and a bed.

Don't get angry.

No. I'm not,

because I understand
how you could ask
a question like that.

Now you really
look at me as
a piece of shit.

No.

All right.

John won't be back
until very late.

He won't disturb you.

This is John's room?

Not tonight.

JOHN: Like, boom,
it fucking exploded
right in my pants.

It totally burned a hole.

CLEMENTINE:
The matches went off?
Yeah.

I could have,
like, caught on fire.

Hey, Captain.

Morning, Captain.

Good morning.

Yeah. Captain.

That is a nickname
that Clementine
has given me.

That is not for you.

Okay.

So, what are you
gonna do today?

Oh, I don't know.

But if you want
to do something,

I mean, if you want
to go someplace
or buy something,

John'll take you.

Yeah?
You need something?

I mean, just to go home
and get some clothes.

So why don't you
go to the mall?

Buy something nice.

Here.

No, I got it, Syd.
I got money.

Oh, okay.

So, you wanna go?
You wanna get something?

Yeah. I mean, yeah.

And that is that.

See you later.

JOHN: Bye.
Bye.

CLEMENTINE: Bye.
Bye.

Well?

Why do you
have two TVs?

Oh, well, see,
they got pay-per-view here.

That's this box.

And there's a wire that
comes up from the front desk

that goes through this box,
and then when you turn it on,

when you pick a pay movie,

it tells the front desk
that you got a pay movie.

So, what you have
to do is take...
Get these little things off.

You stick a key
inside this little cuff

right here and
twist it around.

And then you take
the wire that comes
right out of the wall

that brings the movie.

You take that
and you put it
straight into the TV.

So, you gotta use
a regular TV, so I
bring this one with me

wherever we go,
and I just take the cable

that comes from the wall,
straight into this TV.

And you get free movies.

Cool.

But don't...
Don't say anything
to, like,

to, you know,
the front desk
or anything.

No, I won't.

'Cause they'd
probably make me
pay for all of them.

So...

I got to go talk
to Syd for a second,
all right?

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Hey.
Hey.

How'd you do
last night?

Fair.

You?

Oh, I won about $300.

You didn't show up
in the bar.

Oh, I'm sorry
about that, Syd.

I was... I was with
Jimmy, you know.

Yeah.

I'm sorry about
last night.

He gets...
The second drink,
you know? He just...

It's not a problem.

Yeah, he just gets
a little flagrant,
you know.

It's fine.

He thinks you
don't like him.

I don't.

Well.

What?

I don't know.
Hey, you be good
to Clementine today.

You take her anywhere
she wants to go.

Did...

What?

What?
You know, did you?

(CHUCKLES)

No.

Okay.

Good.

Good. All right.
I'll see you later,
all right?

Yeah, I'll probably
be in the sports book
or maybe poker.

Okay, maybe
I'll see you there.

Okay.
All right. Bye.

Excuse me.

Oh.

Can I get you
anything else?

No, that's fine.
Thanks.

Okay.

DEALER: Seven the winner.
Pay him on the passline.

Winner, seven.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Coming out again.
Bet 11 after seven.

Come on, old timer,
you gonna join us here,
my friend?

Come on.

* I don't wait for old people
I don't wait for old people *

All right, here we go.
Let's see another seven.

Go!

Eight easy,
eight brought on.
A point of eight.

Bet it back hard.

Okay, I'm gonna
light a cigarette now,
old timer.

See, the thing is,
I like you.

I'm gonna light a cigarette,
and I'm gonna let

you have this time
to place your bet

before I finish
lighting this cigarette.

And then when I
finish lighting,

I'm just gonna
roll and fuck you.

(MAN LAUGHING)

You're laughing at that?
I just said fuck
you to the man.

Jesus Christ.

The way you look,
I think you know what
I'm saying, old timer.

I think you do.

Jesus Christ,
why don't you have some fun?

Fun! Fun!

All right, shaka-lakka-doo,
shaka-lakka-doobey-doobey-doo.

Shaka-lakka-doo.

Here, got a little
bit more, there.

Coming in there, baby.

Shaka-lakka-doo, baby.

I'm almost
lighting it, baby.

I'm gonna light the
cigarette, old timer.
What are you gonna do?

$2,000, hard eight.

(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)

$2,000, hard eight's the bet.

What the fuck!

(LAUGHS)

Oh, man, you play
that game, don't you?

Oh, shit.

You're big time.

You are big time!

Oh, hard eight, hard eight.

Oh, okay, here we go.

All right, here we go.

All right,
this is for you, big time.

All right,
I'm not even looking.
Here we go!

Six the hard way, a hard six.

Hard six,
that's a hard six, old timer.

That's not bad for me.

That's not bad for me,
is it, sister?

Is it, Sister Sledge?

There we go. It's me and you.

You know what I'm saying?

Fucking $100, hard eight.

Hundred. Me and you, big time.

Me and you.

You can buy
yourself another suit
with this roll.

Forty-four.

Forty-four, big time.

Two thousand.

Two thousand.
Hundred. Hundred.

Two thousand. Two thousand.
Hundred. Hundred.

Two thousand.

Forty-four!

DEALER: Eight easy.
Easy eight.

Five and a three,
it's a front-line winner.
Pay him.

Fuck!

Fuck!

(CRAPS PLAYER LAUGHS)

Hard eight.

All right, shit.

I'm sorry, big time.

Hey, big time,
I'll buy you a drink.

WOMAN: Big winner.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Yeah.

Where?

Yeah, yes.

Right now?

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I'll... Yeah,
I'm getting up right now.
Right now.

John?

JOHN: Syd?

Yeah, open up.

Everything cool?

What? Yeah,
everything's cool.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

You gonna open the door?

I said on the phone,
you know,

it's kind of screwed up.

Yeah, so?
Open the door.

Let's see what's going on.

You promise
you'll help me?

John, it's cold out here.
Open the door.

Is everything cool?

John, open the
goddamn door, will you?

(LOCK RATTLING)

So, what's going on, John?

Shut the door.

Why are the lights out?
Okay, Syd...

Hey, I'm not gonna...
Just leave them off

for a second. Okay?
John, I'm not gonna

stand here with
the lights out.

Okay, now,
you promised
you'd help me.

What is this, John?

I'm sorry, Syd.

John, what is this?

Who is this man?

He's...

He's a hostage.

A hostage?

Yeah.

Why?

Because...

For money.

Is he dead?

No, he's just passed out.

How did he get here?

I'm sorry, Syd.

Fuck.

I'm so sorry.

I fucked up.
I know, I know it.

I'm sorry.

Clementine.

Clementine?
She doesn't want to talk.

Clementine, hey.

What?

You all right?

I'm fine.

Tell me what happened.

This man won't pay me.

You know this man?

No, not before tonight.
I mean...

Then how does
he owe you money?

I met him in a bar.

We came here.

You came here,
what, for sex?

He won't pay me
what we agreed.

How did John get here?
You can ask me.

Clementine?
She called me.

I asked him to
come help me.

This fucker
hit her, Syd!

Clementine, let me see.

Come on, let me see.

You're okay.

(SIGHS)

How long you
been here, John?

Me? Since 10:00.

So, why don't you
just let him go?

What do you mean?
We can't.

Tell me why, John.

Because he owes
her money, that's why.

Yeah, so?
How much money?

$300.

You're holding
this guy hostage
for $300?

That's what he owes her.

This fuckhead
cheated her, Syd.

SYDNEY: Who knows
this man is here?

JOHN: Well,
me and Clementine

and you.

Yeah? And?

And his wife.
His wife?

Well, someone's got to
get the money, Syd!

I don't understand.

How did you get in
touch with his wife?

He's staying at
the Sand Dunes.

I got the name
from the wallet,

and Clementine saw
her there before.

You talked to this woman?
You talked to this man's wife?

Yeah, I called her
and told her
to get the money.

She said she would.

Did you tell her
where you were?

CLEMENTINE: We're not stupid.

No, of course.
You're not stupid.

Are you gonna help us?

So? What do you
want me to do?

I don't know.

All right, first of all,
this guy's wife has
obviously called the cops.

Do you understand that?
No, not necessarily.

Yes, necessarily!

No, she wants to
deal with it as
much as we do, Syd.

She's not gonna
tell the cops

that her husband was,
you know, fucking...

Fuck!

I mean,
she might not, right?
She might not!

What'd you
tell her, John?

What? I just
said that we...

We would call her
and tell her what to do.

No, no, no.

Did you tell her
that you'd kill him
if she didn't?

What'd you tell her?

Yeah.
Yeah, what, John?

I told her
we'd kill him.

This is a very
fucked-up situation here.

You promised
you'd help me.
I didn't promise anything.

Yeah, yeah,
at the door.
Come on.

Syd, you gotta help me.

You don't have to help us.

I sure as hell don't.

Then why don't you
just get the fuck
out of here?

Oh, good. Good.

You got yourself
in this situation.

I did not get you here.

So, you humble yourself,
do you understand?

You humble yourself!

Give me the
fucking gun, John.

Jesus Christ.

Give it to me.

Is it loaded?
No.

Where'd you get it?

From Jimmy.
Jimmy?

Has Jimmy been here?
No.

What does Jimmy
know about this?
Nothing.

Don't say that, John.

I'm not.

What? What are
you saying?
Nothing.

Clementine, get in
the chair, will you?

Come on.
Come on, come on.

Now, you are gonna
answer every question
I ask you to.

Don't look at John.
Look at me.

Now, when you left
the hotel this morning,
where did you go?

We went shopping
at the mall.

After that?

We went to my house.

Why?

Because I wanted
to get some clothes.

I told you
to buy clothes.

I wanted to go
get something!

All right,
after that, what?

(SIGHS)

JOHN: Syd, just ask me.

We had sex.

Then, yes, what?

Look, I know you're
trying to figure this
whole thing out, okay?

But what happened
this morning
doesn't matter.

I'll judge that.

Fine, then just
ask me what happened.

Okay, I would
like to understand

how you go from
being in the bar

at the Sand Dunes
with that guy
to being in here.

Where did this
thing go wrong?

Because he thought
that he was smart

and I was stupid,
and I'm not stupid.

Well, this a pretty
stupid situation,
isn't it?

Well, we'll see how
fucking stupid I am

when I get my money,
won't we?

You know
the first thing
they should have

taught you at
hooker school?

You get the
money up front.

Fuck you.

Syd, don't talk
to her like that.
John,

I'm having a
conversation with
Clementine, all right?

Yeah, well, don't
talk to her like that.
John, shut the fuck up!

Hey, I'm warning you, Syd!
Get your fucking hands off me!

Don't fucking talk
to her like that!

She's my wife!

She's... We got
married this afternoon.

You bitch!
You're fucking dead,
you bitch!

(MAN EXCLAIMING)

Right?

I am glad to see you are
having a wonderful honeymoon.

Syd! Syd! What? Wait.
Where are you going?

I'm getting out of here.

Syd! Syd! Don't leave,
don't leave, please.

John, I can't get
involved in this.

Yeah, but you don't
have to be involved.
Just don't leave.

John, if I stay here,
I am involved.

If I stay here,
I am part of it.

Do you get that?
Okay.

Now, let's just go
back inside, okay?

John, you've got a guy
unconscious in there.

A guy that you...
A guy you kidnapped and
are holding for ransom.

Do you realize
how fucking
serious this is?

All right, look, John,

if you want to
leave here,

if you want me to help
you get as far away
from here as possible,

then you just get
in your car and go.

Yeah? Let's do that, John.

Let's just get in the car.

Well, where am I gonna go?

I don't know, John.
Away. Anywhere. Away.

How could you let her
go and do a thing
like this, John?

You've got money.
This is not good.

Syd...

We were at the bar.

I fucking turn
around and she's gone.

You know,
I didn't know she...

What do you think?
I didn't know.

Did you really
get married, John?
Did you?

Yeah.

You know, she said yes.

I didn't want her
to say no later on,
you know?

You know,
I've been seeing
her for two months,

and I never had
the guts to say anything.

And I saw her in
my bed this morning,

it was like a sign
from heaven, you know?

I know this is fucked up.

I'm not stupid.
I know I fucked up. Okay?

I mean, she's got
some problems, I know.
But I really love her.

What if...
What am I gonna do?
I love her, Syd.

Okay, okay, okay.

Everything's going
to be fine, John.

Everything's
going to work out,
you'll see.

Okay? Come on, come on.

Let's go.

JOHN: All right,
come on, we're gonna go,
we're gonna leave.

Syd thinks we
should leave, so...

Get your purse, Clem,
and put your coat on.

Why is he doing that?

I'm getting rid of
your fingerprints.

CLEMENTINE: This guy saw us.

Well, maybe he'll
wake up and he
won't remember.

If he doesn't remember
when he wakes up,

then why are we leaving?

If he does, the cops
are gonna come, Clem,

and they're gonna check.

I'm not going anywhere.

Look, we don't
have a choice.

John, I'm gonna
tell you something
right now.

This man owes me.
He fucked me and
now he's gonna pay me.

Don't be crazy, all right?
Don't be crazy, honey.

I mean, this is
the only thing that
we can do, okay?

This is the only
thing that we have
a chance at right now,

is if we leave.

Syd?

I'll tell you that
you can go, but I'm not.

Oh, you wanna
get caught?

You wanna go to jail?

I want my money.

Clem...

Clem, look at me, please.

Let's just listen
to Sydney, okay?

Syd knows. He knows.

I won't tell them
about you,

if that's what
you're thinking,
if I get caught.

Jesus Christ,
Clem, that's not why.

What do you
want me to say?

What do I have
to fucking say?
I love you.

You wanna stay here

with this fucking idiot?

You wanna be separated
from our marriage, from me?

I don't care.

Well, fuck you then!

You stupid fucking whore!

Fuck you, John!

(EXCLAIMS)

Oh, Jesus, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Clem. Oh, God!

Jesus Christ, John.

Stop it.

Clementine.

My darling Clementine.
Listen to me, will you?

Are you listening?

If you stay here,
you will be caught.

Okay? We're talking about
kidnapping, extortion.

Other things,
I don't know what,

but not good things, honey.

Okay, honey? Clementine,
look at me, will you?

Come on. Come on,
here, look at me.

Do you love John?

He slapped my face.

Do you love him?

Yes.

All right,
you've got that.

You love him
and he loves you,

and you're not
gonna spoil it
on this bullshit.

All right.

Okay. Where'd you
get the handcuffs?

They're mine.
Give me the key.

What for?

I have to unlock him.

(SIGHS)

Did you hit him
with the gun?

Yeah.

SYDNEY: All right, come on.
Let's get out of here.

Come on, Clementine.

Hey, don't forget
your cigarettes
and your lighter.

Let's go.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Who's that, John?
Who's calling?

I don't know.

What do you mean
you don't know?

Syd, I don't know, okay?

Who knows you're here?

JOHN: I don't know,
maybe the guy's wife.
I don't know, Syd.

It's...
It's the front desk.
I don't know, man!

John, don't
fuck with me.

Syd, I'm not
fucking with you.

It's the front desk.
I don't know!

Jimmy knows we're here.

Look, Jimmy knows we're here,
but it doesn't matter,
all right?

Let's just go. Let's go.

Let's go!

(MAN GROANING)

(MAN GRUNTS)

Right.

Now, let's go.

Syd, I'm sorry
about Jimmy...

We'll talk
about it later.

Get your car.
Follow me to Clementine's.

She's coming with me.

Now, tell me.
The man checked
into the motel.

Yes? Tell me that.
Yes.

Did anybody see you?
The man behind the counter?

No.

What about in the bar?
At the Sand Dunes?

No. I mean, it was packed.
It was full of people.

The guy had a
specific friend, maybe,
sitting at the bar?

No.

Right over there.

Syd, I'm on the street.

Are you okay?

I'm really scared.

I know.

You be strong now.

Take good care of John.

Oh, my God,
I'm so embarrassed.

I'm so embarrassed,
oh, my God.

I feel like I might
piss my pants.

I have two cats.

I remember.

Will you feed
them while I'm gone?

Sure.

Okay.

The yellow key is
for the top lock, okay?

The red one is
for the bottom one,

but you can't put it
all the way in or else

it won't open when
you turn it, okay?

And just one can and
put it in the bowl.
And water.

Okay.

There's something...
For you, we...

It's our wedding.
We had it taped,
we thought...

Oh, that's nice.

Thank you.

I don't know.
God, I don't know
why I did this.

Hey, hey, hey.

I'm so stupid.

It's okay.
Fuck.

No, it's okay.

Everything's going
to be all right.

I'm ready.

All right,
you've just got married.

You're on your honeymoon.

Wait, what about my job?

I'll talk to the casino.

I'll tell them that
you've fallen in love,

that you've eloped
and run off, but
that you'll come back.

So, you call me
when you get there,

and we'll see
where things are.

Okay.

You got money?
Yeah.

Okay. I'll get
you more money
as you need it,

as much as I have,
as much as you'll need.

Do you understand?
As much money as I have.

All right,
where are you gonna go?

I don't know.

Okay, why don't
you go to...

Oh, shit, God damn,
I don't know.

Vegas?
No, Jesus Christ, John!

Don't go to Vegas.

Go to, um...

What about
Niagara Falls?

Yeah, Niagara Falls,
that's fine.

No, no,
not Niagara Falls.

Why not?
Why not?

I've been
there before.

Jesus Christ, John.

But Niagara Falls
is like a regular
honeymoon place.

Yeah, but
I've been there.
John, John.

Go to Niagara Falls.

Okay.

Hey, give me
a hug, will you?

See you soon.
Okay.

It's gonna be
all right, John.

Hey, John, look
at me, will you?

I'm not gonna let
anything happen to you.

John, this is fine.

Okay.

Take good care of Clementine.

I will.

And drive
the speed limit.

Yeah.

JOHN: You tired?

Not really.

If you want to get
it annulled or...

Do you?

No.

I won't fuck up again, John.

I really won't.
I promise you.

PRIEST: (ON TV) And now,
if you know of nothing
either legal or moral

to forbid your
union in marriage,

I wish to take its vows
and assume its obligations.

Please face each other
and join your hands.

Will you, John,
have this woman,
Clementine,

whose hand you hold,
to be your wedded wife,

and solemnly promise that

you will loyally
fulfill your obligations
as her husband,

to protect her, honor her,
love her and cherish her?

I do.

Will you, Clementine,
have this man, John,

whose hand you hold,
to be your wedded husband

and solemnly
promise that you

will be unto him a tender,
loving and true wife

through sunshine
and shadow alike,

and be faithful to him
so long as you
both shall live?

I do.

You may seal your
vows with a kiss.

I'd like to introduce
Mr. and Mrs. John Finnegan.

JOHN: Okay.

CLEMENTINE: Thank you.
Bless you.

CLEMENTINE: Thank you.
JOHN: Thanks very much.

Thanks a lot. Thank you.

WOMAN: Congratulations to you.

(LOUD DANCE MUSIC
PLAYING ON CAR RADIO)

Oh, man, hey.

Could you please
not smoke in here?

No, seriously.
Could you please
not smoke in here?

You know, the smoke smell
gets in the upholstery.

It fucks up the resale
value like crazy.

What do you
want from me?

I want you to put that
goddamn cigarette out.

Well, I'm not gonna
put the cigarette out.

All right.

Can I have one then?

So you got my note.

(LAUGHS)

What am I saying?
No, you just
guessed I was out here.

Of course you got my note.

What do you want?

Nothing.

Do you have something
to say to me?

You know, that was
a really fucked-up
situation back there.

I mean you...
You took care of it.

So, John and
Clementine are safe.

Yes?

You were there.

Just for a minute.

Do you know that guy?

Guy? Oh! The guy
that fucked Clementine.

No. Hell, no. No.

I saw him today,
though.

You saw him?

In the casino
this morning.

He was walking around
like nothing happened.

Maybe he didn't
call the cops.

He didn't.

You're so sure.

Hey, I was here all
night and all day.

If they were here,
I would have seen them.

The motel's right
across the street.

This guy's just trying
to avoid a personal
embarrassment.

What about his wife?
(LAUGHS)

Well, now,
he may have some
explaining to do there.

So you don't think that
she called the cops, huh?

Look, if they'd
a been here,
I'd a seen them.

This guy see you?

Nah. He was knocked out
by the time I got there.

You gave John a gun.

Hey, he was scared.
He thought he
might need it.

It wasn't loaded.

I wouldn't give
John a loaded weapon.

You, you still got my gun?

I threw it away.

Oh, damn.

I loved that gun.

Why do you want
to talk to me?

(SIGHS)

That's all right
you threw my gun away.

You know,
I have others, you know.

Look, I was there
with John and Clementine,

and you were there, too.

You want something now?

Hey, I ain't call you here

to say I know
about this situation

and I'm gonna squawk
unless I get
a piece of the pie.

John's a friend.

Clementine, she's a doll.

And you?
Hey, you're a classic.

You're an old timer.

I got some
respectability for that.

What is there
to get, anyway?

Yeah.

So now, what then?

So, John and Clementine

are on their way to
safety in Niagara Falls.

So, everything's
all right, huh?

When did you
talk to them?

Last night.

Look, this motel thing's
got nothing to do
with nothing anymore.

I mean, shit.
Thankfully, that's done.

That's over.

I didn't mention it
in my note,

but you should be aware

that I know some things
about Atlantic City.

Mmm-hmm.

I mean, I'm from
Back East originally.

You didn't know that, but...

I know some things
about Atlantic City.

Where you going?

Sydney! Syd!

Hey, I said something to you.
Don't walk away from me.

I said I heard the story
about Atlantic City.

What? What? What? What?

Tough guy, huh?
You can tell me?
You can tell me what?

I haven't told John,
but I know
about Atlantic City.

You shot his
father in the face!

(KEYS JANGLING)

Shit.

Turn it off.
Don't!

Turn the car off,
man, or I'll shoot you!

I swear to God,
I will shoot you in the
foot and let it bleed.

Now, turn it off!

Now, John doesn't know
you killed his father,

but I will tell him.

I will tell John.

I'm threatening you
with the word,
do you understand?

Yes.
Do you want me to do it?

No.
Then I want $10,000

to keep my mouth
shut for you.
I don't have

$10,000, Jimmy.
Bullshit! Yes, you do.

No, I don't have it.
I'll go to Niagara
Falls and tell him.

No, no. Don't!
Please don't!

$10,000, Sydney.

All right, I'll get it.

Yes, you will.

When?
I want it now!

No, no, I can't now.
It's impossible.

Bullshit!
No, not right now.
It's not possible.

It just isn't possible.

Are you telling me no?
No, I...

Is that what
you're saying to me?
No, no, no, no.

You fucking idiot.
You don't know me.

I will put bullets
in you for it.

Do you understand?
All right,
I'll get it tomorrow.

No, no, no.
You can't get it tomorrow.
You have to get it now.

You got it?
Please don't
point the gun at me.

I want the money now!
You hear me?
No, no, no!

I want the money now!

Just don't point the gun,
Jimmy! Please!

Call me a tough guy,
huh? Huh?

Jesus Christ, Jimmy!
Well, I am a tough guy!

This gun in your
face is real tough,
ain't it?

Look, I... $6,000.

That's what I have, all right?
I'll give you all that I have.

Then that's what
you'll give me.
Okay. When?

Don't...
Don't do this to me.

Where's the money?

It's in the bank, Jimmy.
I have it.
It's in the bank.

Come on, come on, come on.
Sit over here.

Sit in this glass,
it's yours.
Okay. Okay.

All right.

Sit on the sofa.

You got a cigarette?

You want some coffee?

No.

Anything?

No.

Now, we're gonna be
here till John calls

or the bank
opens in the morning,
you understand?

Mmm-hmm.

Now, you got to
understand that

this is not easy for me.

John's a friend.

You're his friend.

Now, what I mean...

What I believe is that
you killed his father

like the stories
I heard go.

Now, if somebody
killed my father,
well,

I would feel the need
to do something.

Now, the stories
I heard,
and you know,

stories get around,
is that you used
to be a hard ass.

You were a hard ass,
and you took his
dad out, Sydney.

So you think, what,
that you can just

walk through this life
without being
punished for it?

Shit, man.

I know all
those guys you know.

Floyd Gondoli,
Jimmy Gator,
Mumbles O'Malley.

They like to sit
around in Clifton's
and talk, talk, talk, talk.

They love
to tell stories.

Yeah, you can sit there
and look at me
sideways all you want.

You probably think
I'm some kind of
asshole or something,

but I'm not a killer

like you.

You walk around
like you're Mr. Cool,

Mr. Wisdom, but you're not.

You're just
some old hood.

The other night
in the bar,

asking me a question like,

do I do parking lot
security?

Well, the answer is no!

I'm trusted security
inside the casino.

I'm trusted with security,
and I don't fuck it up.

Good that you have
such a sturdy sense
of responsibility.

Don't, don't, don't...

Don't fucking do that,
you understand?

I can see right
through that shit.

You look at me as some,
some idiot, huh?

I know you do. I know you.

You old guys,
man, you old hoods.

You think you're
so fucking above it.

So high and mighty.

And what am I to you?

Some loser?

No.

No! Not with
a gun in my hand.

Not with the facts I know.

Bottom line, Sydney.

No matter how hard you try,

you're not his father.

I have the money here.

I have the $6,000 here,
not in the bank.

I have it here.

I knew that.

I knew you did.

I have the money
to give you right now,
in this moment.

I will give you
all that I have.

Maybe before you
were going to kill me.

Maybe. I don't know.

I know John,
and I love him like
he was my own child,

but I can tell you this,
I don't want to die.

I killed his father.

I can tell you
what it was, I...
This is not an excuse.

I'm not begging
for clemency.

All that matters...

I do not wish to
sacrifice my life
for John's well-being,

but I will sacrifice
this money for mine
because you have asked me.

Because after this,

I will have done all I can
for John and for myself.

Now, I'm going
to ask you

with all the heart and
sincerity that I have.

Please do not
put a bullet in me,

and please don't tell
John what I've done.

I trust that once I
give you this money,

you and I will
take separate paths

and that this negotiation
will settle everything.

That is my hope.

I don't want to die.

No, no, man.
Not here.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Hello.

Syd.

Hey, Syd.

You there? It's John.

Wait, hold... Shit.

Hold on.

Hello? How's that?

We're in Rock Island,
Illinois.

We should be there
tomorrow morning,
afternoon sometime.

How's everything
back there?

Yeah?

There's no problems,
nothing?
The guy and...

Everything is fine.

How's Clementine?

She's good.

Clem!

(INAUDIBLE)

She's good.
She sends her love.

Yeah. Yeah, I will.

I really love her, Syd.

I mean, I know
that whole thing
and everything,

but I really do.

I know.

I'll be here for a while.

All right, look,

this phone's gonna
run out of change
any second,

so I'm just gonna
say so long now,

and I'll call you
when we get there,
you know?

And thanks for
everything, Syd.

Yeah, John...

There's something
I need to tell you.

It's something
you need to know.
It's important.

I need to tell you...

I love you, John.
I love you like
you were my own son.

Thank you, Syd.

I love you, too.

Call me when you get there.

Okay, I'll speak
to you then.

Jump on this horse.

This horse is going wide.

Everybody ready?
Everybody ready?
Everybody ready?

Got your money down?

You got your money down.
