A Thousand Junkies Page #2

---

I know. I felt like a king.

Yeah, but the best bathroom

of all time...

- [phone ringing]

- It's him.

Hey, man. You close?

What do you mean

where are we?

We're at the El Super

on Slauson.

Laundrymat? What laundrymat?

Laundromat on Exposition?

Jimmy, you never said

anything about a laundrymat.

Just tell him to stay there.

No, I know it's not good to meet

in the same spot every time.

Tell him we're coming

to the laundromat.

Jimmy, I realize you're doing us

a favor, and we appreciate it.

Will you tell him we're coming

to the f***ing laundromat?

We're coming to

the f***ing laundrymat.

Why not?

Well, where are you?

Okay, we'll go there.

How long?

Two hours?

- [Blake groans] -No, he cannot do that.

He cannot do that.

Just tell him we're coming

to the f***ing laundromat.

Will you shut the f*** up?

Jimmy, where are you right now,

right this second?

Okay, then

we'll come to Kaiser.

How long does

her ultrasound take?

What?

Jimmy, I can't hear you. Is she

having an ultrasound or a baby?

Oh, f***!

She's going into labor?

The parking garage at Kaiser.

Thank you, Jimmy.

Okay, thank you.

Parking garage at Kai... Oh, sh*t!

I didn't ask him what Kaiser.

It's the one on Los Sienta.

[engine starting]

[upbeat music playing]

[TJ] Hey, how did you know

which Kaiser?

[Tommy] That's the one

he had the last kid at.

[TJ] The twins?

[Tommy] No, after the twins.

The one who had to

wear the thing on her head.

[TJ] Oh, yeah.

What was that thing?

[Tommy] I don't know, it's some

kind of straightening helmet.

- [TJ] To straighten her head?

- [Tommy] Yeah.

[TJ] You know,

I think Jimmy's a good father.

[Blake] What?

[TJ] I do, man.

I think he's a good father.

[Blake] He's a heroin dealer.

[upbeat music playing]

What if his wife does into,

like, a 12-hour labor?

So what? What do you think, he's gonna hold

her hand the whole time like you would?

He's f***ing Mexican.

He'll make her have the baby and carry

her own bags to the car. Call him.

If he's in the delivery room, he's

probably got his phone turned off.

- Yeah.

- I know.

[phone ringing]

Oh, f***!

I'm sorry. I know I should

have called you back.

Mom. Of course I'm not dead, I've just

been busy, all right? It's a good thing.

Hey, let me ask you

a personal question.

Sure.

All right. Really think about it, okay?

Don't just answer.

Okay.

- You think you could rob a bank?

- No.

Come on, man! I told you

to really think about it.

I don't have to

think about it.

But you steal

all the time.

From my girlfriend.

I don't burst through the front

door of a bank with a shotgun,

yelling, "This is a hold-up."

Why was that

a personal question?
