You, child,

victim of the night.

I am the reverend peter shayne, and

i know the plague that cripples you.

I've been sent by the lord to save you

and to rid the earth of that plague.

I am his holy messenger.

Do you recognize me, child?

Sorry.

I never forget a face.

Especially when

i've sat on it.

- Save your soul, whore.

- Save your money, shithead.

I'm sorry. I didn't think

they'd come down on you so hard.

Forget it. Come in

and see the shop.

You haven't seen it

for a while.

Hey, jerry!

What do you say, grady?

How come you're still here?

I thought molly was sick.

Oh, they're coming

to pick this up tomorrow.

Can't afford to lose

customers, you know.

Don't worry about it.

I'll finish it up.

Get outta here. Your wife

is sick. You should be home.

Thanks, grady. You know, you're

the only one left who gives a damn.

What do you say, hopper?

Jerry!

Step on it.

What are you afraid of?

Step on it.

We've got you surrounded!

Still playing games, huh? It'll

scare the hell out of any thief.

Keep your hands up!

Bobby, about that session. I know

things must be pretty rough at home.

Things are great. I just got

a little wound up, that's all.

Like i said,

still playing games.

Yeah, well,

you should talk,

all the bodies floatin'

in and outta that bed.

That's some kinda life, pal.

Spend half of it changing sheets.

Sheila called me yesterday for

the first time since the divorce.

Still can't

let her go, bobby.

Well, i got

a great idea.

Amy invited sheila to the barbecue

on sunday with tommy and patty.

So why don't you come?

Be just like old times.

Who's there?

Get off!

Didn't hurt you,

did i?

Played a little rougher

this time than usual.

Aw, don't worry, sweetdick. I'm tough.

"Sweetdick"?

Do me a favor next time.

Don't walk so fast.

Hard to keep up.

Maybe i should

rape you, huh?

One way to get back

at your old man. Sorry?

Your father. I know he raped

you when you were a kid.

You told me the first time

we got together.

Oh, yeah.

I forgot.

You said you trusted me.

I do.

You're the only one

i've told.

It is true, isn't it?

Sure it's true. Well,

you don't seem too upset.

You were almost in

tears when you told me.

I'm tryin' to block it outta

my mind. Can't you understand?

I'm sorry. L

- i didn't know it was still a sore spot.

Not as sore

as you was then.

Maybe, if you're

real nice to me,

i'll tell you

all about the time...

he tied my arms to the bed

with black twine.

Did he really do that?

He did that to a sweet

little thing like you?

See the scars?

Where?

Look closer.

Oh, yeah.

I see.

How low

can you get?

As low

as you can afford,

and your meter's up, pal.
