Johnny Handsome Page #3

with a normal life.

This experiment is all bullshit.

I'm still gonna be

Johnny Handsome.

I will give you a new name.

I will give you a new face.

I will give you new identification

and a chance at a new life.

They do that for witnesses.

I can do that for you.

If you do that...

...you got my face.

This guy's deader than a week

of Sundays. Told you I'd nail that geek.

Yeah, ain't that just like you, baby.

When you want something done right...

...you just pay someone else

to do it for you.

Keep up the sh*t, I'll ship you back

to that oil-riggers' bar in east Texas...

...where I found you.

I think you mean where I found you...

...knocking off gas stations

for beer money.

Come on, we're doing good here.

We're gonna do real good at Mikey's.

Sure thing, sugar.

Whatever you say.

We'll just wait

and see what happens, huh?

You wanna enhance that a little bit?

Okay, the anterior portion

is 5 centimetres to the left.

Got it.

Okay, and is he

fully intubated, nurse?

- Yes, doctor.

- That's good.

Then why don't you just remove

a little tracheal pressure.

- Removing.

- Okay.

Let's just make sure all of these lines

are clear of the breathing circuit.

Good.

How you feeling

this morning, John? Good?

Okay.

I know the last three weeks

have been very painful for you.

And you probably think that you're

gonna look completely different...

...but that's not gonna happen

right away.

Not for a long time.

All right?

Let's do it.

Can you open, John?

Can you open?

That's beautiful in there.

Take a breath.

That feel different inside there?

- Yes, it does.

- Much better resonance.

Thanks to the operation,

you've got the equipment now.

We'll have to see

if you can learn to use it.

John Sedley, Sister Luke.

Our speech pathologist.

Hi.

Mama made some lemon jam.

Mama made some lemon jam.

Now let's concentrate

on controlling your airflow.

Remember, the words are carried

on air going out of the mouth.

Now take a breath in.

Hold it.

Let it out.

Mama made some lemon... Oh, sh*t.

You know it's not easy

to change the habits of a lifetime.

I know how hard it is for you...

...but it can be done.

It takes work, and it takes will.

And if you work hard...

...someday you will speak

just about as well as anyone.

Mama made some lemon jam.

Good.

Mama made some lemon jam.

Very good!

Real piece a work, ain't it?

Piece of work, Mr. Sedley.

Piece of work.

All right.

What about your mother?

Please, Sedley. You're making

this difficult for both of us.

I'm trying to fill in background

for your character profile.

Our records are

very sketchy on you.

Other than a few biographical facts...
