You Kill Me Page #2

Synopsis: Frank Falenczyk loves his job. He just happens to be the hit-man for his Polish mob family in Buffalo, New York. But Frank's got a drinking problem and when he messes up a critical assignment that puts the family business in peril, his uncle sends him to San Francisco to clean up his act. Frank is not a touchy-feely kind of guy, but he starts going to AA meetings, gets a sponsor and a job at a mortuary where he falls for the tart-tongued Laurel, a woman who is dangerously devoid of boundaries. Meanwhile, things aren't going well in Buffalo where an upstart Irish gang is threatening the family business. When violence erupts, Frank is forced to return home and with an unlikely assist from Laurel, faces old rivals on new terms.

for a drink, I bet.

It's a problem drink...

'cause you've got a drinking problem.

You f***.

- I'm watching you, Frank!

- Who are you?

Roman called me

a few days ago

to tell me you

were coming out.

I'm the one who got

you to this meeting.

Gee, thanks.

Name is Dave.

And I also got you

your apartment.

I'm really scared.

You shouldn't joke, Frank.

In a town with a 2%

vacancy rate,

a real estate agent is God.

And that's what I am...

a real estate agent.

It's a swell apartment,

Dave. Go away.

Nope, I'm on

you till you leave.

Can't stop me

from doing anything.

I don't have to stop you.

All's I have to do

is watch, wait and make

the call to Buffalo.

You gonna run

and tell Mommy?

That's right, Frank.

I'm gonna run

and tell Mommy.

Sh*t.

- I'll see you in the morning.

- For what?

Work.

F***. F***.

Hey, come on.

It's kind of along

your line of work.

- I don't need this.

- I don't give a sh*t what you need.

- Doris.

- Dave.

Where'd he live?

Oh, in Pacific Heights.

Own or rent?

Own... upstairs apartment,

two bedroom.

Swell.

Keys are in his

pants over there.

Ha, Doris.

Come on.

Frank Falenczyk,

meet Doris Rainford.

Doris said she'd be

willing to hire you on.

- As what?

- General help.

- You'll love it.

- No, I won't love it.

I won't love it so much

I'm not even gonna do it.

- Yes! Yes, you...

- Like hell.

You got an unorthodox way of

being interviewed for a job.

Just... keep...

Listen, Roman said

to get you a job.

This is it.

It's yours to f*** up.

However,

if you f*** it up,

I will be on the phone

to Buffalo.

Guess what, Doris?

Frank's decided

to take the job.

Super.

Hey.

Hi, I'm Becky,

addict and alcoholic.

Hi.

Frank.

Hand me a plate.

Thanks.

- I also got an eating disorder.

- Good for you.

What, that I can say it?

Yeah, it took me so long.

And then I realized...

I was never full because

I felt so empty inside.

No, you're not supposed

to eat those.

They're just

for show, okay?

Oh.

I'm kidding.

- I'm Tom.

- Frank.

- Hi. This your first time?

- I've had cookies before.

So what do you

think so far?

It's all right.

A little talky.

Yeah, you know, um,

some people kinda

tend to wallow in it.

But me, you know,

I'll go months at a time

without saying anything.

Plus, it's a really

good place to meet guys.

Um, I'm not...

It's okay.

I'll get over it.

Hi. Brenda, alcoholic.

Hi, Brenda.

Just a couple of things:

They're ripping up

the playground next door,

so you'll have

to park on the street

for the next few weeks;

Second, uh, I have

a new list of sponsors

if anyone

is looking or...

looking to switch.

Raise your hands

when I call your names.
