Break Night Page #2

Oh.

I'm sorry, does

Doctor Frankenstein

not like the way his

monster turned out?

[Jimmy] Aren't

you being dramatic?

Here, look.

What the hell is this?

Come on, open it.

Jeez.

See, I remember

when I got sent up

you had to pawn that

one your mom gave you,

so figured, you know...

It was my

grandmother's, actually.

And it was in her family

for 100 years before that.

But gee Jimmy,

this is swell, too.

Tell me, why do I get a feeling

that there's some old lady

on the Greyhound

down from Ironwood

wondering what happened to

the chain around her neck?

I see you're still

collecting these records, huh?

[Louly] Yeah.

Yeah, I seem to have a

thing for anachronisms.

Just like old times.

I tee it up, you take a swing.

[chuckling]

[Louly] Oh, look at that.

Jimmy's go to move.

Easy smile, self

deprecating remark.

Look, if you're standing there

waiting for me to suggest

that we go into the bedroom

to f*** for old time's sake,

you're gonna be standing

there a long time.

What can I say, Lou?

It's a slippery slope you

let a man come inside you.

F*** you.

You know what I think?

I think probation's

making you mean.

That's what I think.

No, I think it's

just you, Jimmy.

[thudding]

[lighter igniting]

If you don't have the stomach,

the door's right there.

I got something

set up down South.

Other side of the

border, Veracruz.

[Louly] Veracruz?

You mean Mexico?

Yeah, Mexico.

It's good.

It's legitimate work, too.

Legitimate work?

Yeah, yeah.

It's like 90% legitimate.

[scoffing]

Your first day out

and you're already talking

about jumping your parole?

Jesus, you're

predictable, Jimmy.

I thought that was one of

the things you liked about me.

Oh, yeah.

There you go

understanding women again.

Look, I'm just trying

to make a fresh start.

Yeah, so what?

Is that supposed to include me

just dropping everything

and going with you?

Oh, yeah, 'cause you built

yourself quite the life here.

It's marvelous.

I'm blown away.

I'm so proud of you.

[Louly] Go to hell.

Look, I had this cellmate.

He's got this car service

down in Veracruz, right?

We're driving high priced tricks

back and forth to Mexico City.

Little light muscle work.

Says he's got a spot for me.

Keep reaching for

those stars, Jimmy.

I just gotta pay this debt

off and then we're gone.

What, another safe?

[Jimmy] No.

It's complicated.

I'm not going.

Pack your sh*t.

[Louly] You don't

get to do this, Jimmy.

- You're going.

- God damn it, Jimmy.

I'm not f***ing around.

You do not get

to f***ing do this!

[Jimmy] Do what?

You just leave for four years

and you think my

whole life just stops,

is that what you think?
