Hey, Dennis.
You escaped?
Paroled.
Time flies.
You got a light?
Got a smoke?
...Dennis.
Why?
Wake up.
She's asleep.
Don't tell me you quit.
You've been dead over a year.
Nobody told me.
I'm telling you.
Hey.
I will not get caught twice.
That's not how I want
to live anymore.
Why does she hum like that?
She's practicing.
She does it all day long.
The only time she sees a real
piano is in a church basement.
Oh.
They dust the hymnals
while she plays.
Just let me stay a little while.
Come on.
Dennis, no.
Then let me see her at least.
You're dead.
She's asleep.
Hey, let me stay...
tonight.
Oh.
Is that...?
Is that Rene?
Ouais.
Why are you kissing him?
Rene is going to ask me
to marry him,
if Marie ever agrees
to a divorce.
What makes you think that?
He told Michi.
Are you all in love with him
or something?
That's... that's none
of your business.
Rene is not a thief.
Rene is a thief.
Ex-thief.
He never had the stomach for it,
or the heart.
Or the head.
You just don't really know him.
I've known him my whole life.
Well, then you should know
he's not a thief.
What do you call this?
Maman?
You don't want me to be a thief?
I will stop being a thief.
What would be left of you?
How did I die?
Cancer.
Doctors were never exactly sure
what kind, but...
you suffered
a lot.
Of course I tried to keep Michi
from the worst of it.
Maman?
Monsieur Tremblay?
Um... English,
if you don't mind.
You caught me in the act
of losing all hope, huh?
Water is not enough.
They... they told me to see you.
Then they must have
told me to see you,
Monsieur...
Girard, Dennis.
Girard.
Girard. Ay.
Gir...
Girard.
Um, Gi...
ah, there you are.
Voil.
Dennis Girard.
Tah!
Fresh out of the can, I see.
Yeah.
I need a job.
Teh! Good luck.
What?
Terrible economy.
So what am I supposed to do?
Uh, I'd rely on family
if I were you.
I don't have any family.
Then you might try
living off the land.
I don't have any land.
You know, I don't even have
anywhere to live.
You also need to stop
being so negative.
Listen, you.
I'll see you next month.
Ooh.
No, four weeks from now
is one day past Christmas day.
Okay.
I'll see you the Wednesday following.
Okay, so if there's
no work here,
I should go somewhere else, huh?
Well, except you can't.
Federal statute forbids you
leave the district.
Listen, you.
You have a great month
and a very merry Christmas.
They're not too bad.
F*ck.
Is that you?
Hello, Dennis.
Welcome home, Dennis.
What are you drinking?
Scotch.
It's scotch.
Jackie, glasses, scotch.
Ah.
You're back.
Rene, ici.
Good for you.
Why didn't you call me?
I called my wife.
Technically she's not...
Oh!
- F*ck!
Yeah. Yeah.
I need a job.
I've gone straight.
Me too.
There are no jobs.
What do you do for money?
I bought a truck, you know.
I get jobs with it...
this and that.
It's nothing steady.
Oh, it's straight,
but not steady.
So what are these jobs?
Selling Christmas trees
in New York City.
There's money in holidays.
I did it last year.
You got her that refrigerator
selling trees?
Half of it.
Yeah, okay, good.
I'll go with you.
I already got a guy
who goes with me.
Yeah, me.
No, you don't...
I do it with Huge Antoine.
He's hooked up down there.
I get the trees.
All right, we'll all go.
No, you... except we don't
need three guys.
We need two guys.
It'll be a lot easier with three.
Yeah, but I just...
I don't think it's a good idea.
You know what I don't think
is a good idea?
Me with no home, no money,
no wife, no kid,
