Henry's Crime Page #4

---

- That's your dream?

- Yeah.

What kind of

cockamamie dream is that?

I did the time,

I may as well have done the crime.

Yeah. Time, crime, right.

- So what do you say?

- About what?

- Will you help me?

- Help you what?

(Will you help me rob the bank?)

You came to jail to ask me

to help you rob a bank?

Yeah.

I missed you, Henry.

You've got your review coming up.

- Yeah, so?

- So you can get out of here.

- It's not that simple.

- Yes, it is.

- It's not.

- It is.

No, it is not.

This is my home, buddy.

This is not a home, Max.

It's a prison.

Call it what you like. I'm happy here.

Max.

You can't die in this place.

I can die

pretty much wherever I want.

I'm asking for your help.

I need your help.

- I got cards, kid.

- Max.

Come on. Look, I've thought about...

# I got a thing on my mind

# Sure enough gonna find it

# I got a thing on my mind

# Sure enough gonna find it

# Don't let nobody tell me

# My thing, it won't come true

# Cos I ain't lying down

# Till I get my dues

# I got a thing on my mind

# I'm sure enough gonna find it... #

God knows, I love my country.

I love it deeply.

I couldn't see out of the train window,

I was crying so much.

(LAUGHS) But I must drink my coffee.

Firs, coffee. Firs?

Where's Firs?

I'm sorry, Firs is sick today.

- What?

- He's... He's sick.

He's sick. You know it. Continue.

Fine, I'll pretend Firs is here.

Thank you, Firs, you dear old man.

I'm so glad to find you still alive.

I said I'm so glad

to find you still alive.

He's a little deaf.

Your brother Leonid Andreyevich

says that I'm an upstart,

a money-grubber.

He can say whatever he likes.

I don't care. A bit.

I just want you to believe in me.

Like in the old days.

I just want your wonderful tender

eyes to look on me like they used to.

(RUSSIAN ACCENT) No, no, no, no, no.

Stop, stop. It just is bloody.

No! Simone.

It's too small. It's too safe.

- Stop showing me that safe face.

- Good, I won't.

No, I'm not talking about you.

You're doing the best you can.

I'm talking to you.

- What are you doing?

- Me?

Yes.

Well, I... I'm listening.

Listening?

Well, it looks like you're...

...hearing, and to hear is to be weak.

To listen is to be strong.

Why? Because to listen is an action.

No. What... What is that?

It's an action. I'm listening.

I mean, is that what you want?

Is that what you mean?

- No, Djula.

- Mm-hm. OK.

Then what do you want?

You're performing, you're performing.

Nothing comes out.

You're just performing. Performing.

Well, that's what I do, Darek.

I'm an actress.

You can call yourself

You see, here on stage,
