- Not yet.

Mindy!

Heard him sneak

in the back, like always.

Thank you, nurse.

Your film came back

from the lab last week.

Last week?

Mm-hmm.

It confirms my earlier

diagnosis. You're f***ed.

See this area here? This

part of the brain right here?

Yeah.

I don't know what it controls, but

I'm pretty sure it's important.

You know, a car accident, a blow

to the head, a sneeze, even,

all it takes is for one of these

bullet fragments to move...

even half a millimeter... and

you may forget how to piss.

Hasn't moved in 10 years.

Neither have my bowels,

but one day, God willing.

He's a Chester, named Mouth,

fresh out of the joint.

Likes little girls.

Used to brag about the Vegas

job, like he was there.

And more than that, he

said the guy that got away

took one in the head.

Cole's chasin'

a f***in' dead man.

It's gotta be a 110 degrees out here.

It's not even noon.

Yeah, but it's a dry heat.

Oh, sh*t! For... God damn it!

I'm gonna f*** you up, man.

Hey Mouth.

Not worth it.

- Goin' out for donuts!

- And this just in.

Authorities report a prison break at

Nevada State has left seven guards dead...

believed to be work of the

gang known as the Rat Pack...

who robbed a Vegas casino...

Who the f*** shut off

my f***in' radio, goddamn it!

- Where's Jim?

- Went for donuts.

Is there something

I can help you with?

What do you know about the casino

robbery, about 10 years ago?

Just what I read in the papers.

Why you asking me?

I got 10 million reasons.

Well, I don't know

sh*t about it.

That's not what I hear.

What I hear is, you can't

keep your f***in' mouth shut

about sh*t

you know nothing about.

It's just bullshit, man,

to pass the time at the joint.

That's all, man.

That's all I know.

Nothing else. That's it.

F***, man.

Ah!

All right. All right.

Couple years ago, okay,

I was working at the Palomino.

There was a stripper named

Jada, Jade or Jasmine...

It was Jasmine,

yeah, Jasmine. Okay.

She saw the one that got away.

Ten years ago, her ex, a doctor,

the doctor said

he got hit by a truck,

but she said she never seen a

truck use a 9 millimeter before.

Hey, that'll come in handy if you

ever run into a circus clown.

Yeah, look at Stillman.

It's like he's waiting

on a train that's

already left the station.

I'm thinking you're out

where the trains don't run.

F***!

We're all f***ing crazy

to be out in this desert.

He couldn't remember nothin'!

His name, how he got there.

Yeah. Yeah, he was lucky

he even survived, you know?

He lived?

Yeah. She hung out for

a couple more years,

hoping her ex-loser husband could

get his hands on some of that cash.

But he never did.

It never showed up.
