You're not my type.

Yeah, I guess it kind of

figures. I ain't had much

luck with women lately.

Yeah, well, you'll live.

Something tells me

that getting girls isn't

exactly your problem in life.

Maybe some other time, huh?

I doubt it,

but anything's possible.

Hey, look...

About the spare bed.

I'm just passing through

this district.

I don't know anybody.

I'm between jobs

and last time I heard

hotels cost money.

Get in.

My sister's got the bedroom,

I got the spare,

that puts you on the couch.

Thanks, man, I appreciate it.

Yeah, no sweat.

There you go, McCoy.

I'll see you in the morning.

Hey, you always

walk around packed, huh?

I told you, I'm a soldier.

Yeah, well, don't go

pointing that thing at me,

I wouldn't like it.

I don't go pointing it,

unless I'm gonna use it.

Yeah, right.

No, you don't get by on pride

It'll run over you

But since you let me down

I'm hard to be around

I don't know

what I'm gonna do

He could never be you

He could never be you

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Okay, you got it.

I'm gonna go and get her.

But I ain't doing it

for nothing.

You tell this Mr. Billy Fish

to meet me at the diner

tomorrow at 12:
00.

Me and him are gonna talk

some business.

Oh, there's a girl

I picked up in the Black-hawk

sleeping on the couch.

Give her some coffee

in the morning, okay?

How come she's sleeping

in the front room?

Why don't you go ask her?

(WHIRRING)

Hey, Pete!

Hey, look, I really needed

a place to stay, so thanks

for the use of the sofa.

Oh, that's okay.

You're the first girl

Tom ever brought home

that used it.

Yeah, well,

sometimes it helps a guy out

if you don't make it so easy.

He could use a little help in

that direction. Maybe he ought

to meet a few more like you.

A fellow came through here

a couple of months ago.

Tapped out.

Had to part with this outfit

after a card game.

Real unhappy about it, too,

'cause it's all custom stuff.

I tell you, if Tom wasn't

going for being number two

to her music,

so he just took off.

He was crazy about Ellen.

He was just the kind of guy

who doesn't like to admit it.

Yeah, sure, I know the type.

I'll tell you something.

Some people never talk about

their feelings, they got them

deeper than anybody.

Other people never talk

about their feelings

'cause they ain't got any.

What's your story?

Me? Just looking for work.

You must be Billy Fish?

Yeah. So what gives,

and make it fast

my time is valuable.

You want Ellen Aim back,

I'm gonna get her.

You and what army?

I can see you two are gonna

get along just fine.

I want 10 grand.

Easy.

All you gotta do is earn it.

I'll earn it

and you're gonna help.

Reva told me you used to
