Peanuts always make me so dry.

Do they do that to you, Mitch?

- Yep.

- Vince, Ryan and I were-

Eddie, I got

a real thirst here.

Thank you.

We're only gonna be

a couple of minutes.

We might even be

quicker than that.

So how you been?

Now look at you,

you're still

dressing in rags.

Your tastes were always

more expensive than mine.

Sometimes expensive tastes

get you expensive things.

Things that are real warm,

real comfortable.

I don't know-

things that fit real good.

If you don't mind that another man

wore them before you.

Peanut?

Wait, wait- let me see

if I can remember.

That's right, you've always been

a lover not a fighter, right, Romeo?

You never did know how to play

your hand and it seems like

the game ain't exactly

going your way right now.

You knew what

would happen if-

if I ever saw you again.

You knew.

You know what?

All that can wait.

Today is a day of celebration-

of old friends getting together.

And today

we have peanuts...

and now we have beer.

So, Ryan, you take

a couple of days,

and you mourn

your dead junkie brother,

and then you go away.

And then what?

If my old friend here

isn't out of Astoria

very, very soon then...

Let the games begin.

Oh and, Ryan...

I'll be watching,

my friend,

I'll be watching.

Mitch, what are you doing?

What I was told to do.

Yeah?

Now I'm telling you

to get out.

He ain't gonna like that.

Mitch, I said get out.

- Ryan:
So he sent you?

- Woman:
Yeah.

Well, I'm here.

Seem to have done

real well for yourself.

Everything has its price.

And everyone?

- Did he hurt you?

- What do you care?

You know me

better than that.

I knew a lot of things

till you set me up.

- H e made me do that.

- Did he put that look in your eye

when they dragged me

out of our bed?

I was high and I was scared.

And I needed help

and Vincent was there.

Nobody could get you

to marry him-

not if you

didn't want to.

There are so many things

you don't understand.

All I know is

my brother's dead.

- I'm sorry about Jimmy.

- Y eah?

You can't feel too sorry-

even though you got clean,

that outfit,

those earrings, this car

were paid for by that sh*t

Jimmy shot into his arm.

And it all comes

from Vincent.

So tell me,

when you're with him

and you're alone in his bed,

and you're playing

the submissive little housewife,

do you still feel sorry or are

the perks too f***ing good?

I hate you.

I hate you.

T ell your husband I got

a few things to take care of,

and then I'll be gone.

He came to the stopover

on 14th Street,

just rolled over and nodded out

right on the passenger seat.

The truck was right in

the middle of the intersection.

The doors were locked,
