A History of Violence Page #4

how you were doing.

Doing good. Business is great.

Just can't keep up.

Yeah, it's busy.

Oh, look, more reporters. Nice.

They don't look like reporters.

Grilled cheese is ready.

Got fries

and a strawberry shake.

Hello. Welcome to Stall's.

Would you gentlemen

like some coffee?

You're the hero.

Uh, I don't know, sir.

I was just...

Nah, you're the big hero.

You sure took care

of those two bad men.

I really don't like

talking about it, sir.

We're trying to get

back to normal here.

So, can I offer you gentlemen

some coffee?

Sure. Give me some coffee.

Make it black...

- Yes, sir.

- Joey.

And... and your friends?

They don't drink coffee.

It doesn't agree

with them... Joey.

- Who's Joey?

- You are.

- My name's Tom, sir.

- Of course it is.

Mmm. That's good coffee.

Thank you, sir.

If I were to find coffee

as good in Philadelphia...

but you know that,

don't you, Tom?

Heh.

No, actually, I don't.

I've never been to Philadelphia.

Pennsylvania? Is that where

you gentlemen are from?

Yeah, like you don't know.

Sorry.

Did... Did we know each other?

You tell me.

No.

We don't know each other.

Come on, Joey. Cut the crap.

My name is Tom.

Joey Cusack.

Your name is Joey Cusack.

You're from Philly.

- Mm-hmm. OK. Whatever.

- Uh-huh.

Excuse me, gentlemen, if you're

not going to order anything...

my husband and I

would appreciate it...

if you would be on your way.

We ate on the road.

It's all right.

It's OK.

We really are very busy here

today, as you can see.

Um, so if you gentlemen

aren't going to be eating...

I really should offer

your seats to paying customers.

Hmm.

Well...

now we're paying customers.

I can't take this.

It shouldn't be

any problem for you.

What is that supposed to mean?

Mr. Fogarty's

just making conversation here.

Well, whatever

you want to call it...

this conversation is over.

I think he wants us to leave,

Mr. Fogarty.

Do you know what he does...

when he don't like people,

Mr. Fogarty?

Yeah. I'm scared.

We should leave before he goes

all Dirty Harry on us.

I want to thank you

for the coffee, Joey.

It really is very good.

It's Tom. My name's Tom Stall.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

Who are you calling?

Hi... Hi, Molly.

This is Edie Stall. Is he in?

I'm fine, thanks.

You're calling Sam?

Yes.

Is there a problem

with my driving, officer?

Can I see your license, sir?

Sure.

I thought I was under the limit.

Is there some problem

I should know about?

What's your business

in Millbrook, sir?

We're tourists.

And what business did you have

at Stall's Diner today?

We heard the coffee

was terrific.

Let me make something clear

to you and to Mr. Mulligan.
