TOM:
About as much skill as it takes to
sit in a truck and get fat eating
donuts.
CHARLIE:
Oh, so that's all I've been doing,
huh? Just wasting my life away.
TOM:
I didn't say that.
CHARLIE:
Yeah, building a home, raising a
family -- that's just stupid.
TOM:
I didn't say that!
CHARLIE:
You know what, Tom? I really don't
give a sh*t what you said.
Tom doesn't reply. Charlie puts the truck in gear; starts
off. Tom looks at Charlie, shakes his head -- what was that
about?

INT. ROADSIDE BAR - DUSK ECU PEN ON PAPER
Writing letters in a crossword puzzle. Holding the pen is...
JIM:
Late 50s, with a creased face and piercing eyes. He's sitting
at the bar, drinking coffee. Rain sheets down outside. The
BARTENDER watches TV, sound off. Next to Jim at the bar are...
Ray, 40s, has lank hair, rheumy eyes and a glass of Irish
whisky in front of him. Kenny, 20s, long hair, has the energy
of a puppy -- unfortunately he has about as much smarts as a
puppy. Mr. Mehlor. 40s, looks like -- and was -- a high school
teacher.
ON TV:
Sound off, a MAN is crying about what he has lost in the
flood.
RAY:
"Thus saith the Lord; Behold, waters
shall rise up out of the north and
be an overflowing flood and all the
inhabitants of the land shall howl."
Jeremiah 47:
2.Ray takes a drink. Kenny leans over to Ray, sotto.
KENNY:
You're gonna be able to buy a helluva
lot of bibles, huh, Ray? Me? First
thing I'm gonna do is get my brother
a lawyer. Best that money can buy.
A thought comes to Jim -- an answer to a clue in the crossword --
and he starts filling in words as Ray and Kenny talk.
RAY:
What's he facing?
KENNY:
Thirty in.
RAY:
He cap a cop or something...?
KENNY:
Security guard. "In the commission..."
All he's got is a piece of sh*t P.D.
Now I'm gonna be able to afford him
a good lawyer -- a guy with a haircut.
Jim leans over to Kenny.
JIM:
'Scuse me a second. Take a look at
thirty-one across.
Jim slides the newspaper in front of Kenny.
KENNY:
Sh*t, Jim. I don't do crossword
puzzles.
MR. MEHLOR
I'll take a look, Jim.
JIM:
Kenny can read.
(to Kenny)
Just look at it. You know when you
write down a word and suddenly it
looks all wrong? Maybe it's right,
but it doesn't look right?
Jim points at the newspaper.
JIM:
Thirty-one across.
Kenny shrugs and looks down at the newspaper.
KENNY:
(mumbles as he reads)
His eyes go wide.
ECU CROSSWORD PUZZLE
In an uncompleted part of the puzzle, Jim has written a
message in the boxes. It reads: MENTION MONEY AND I'LL KILL
YOU.
