with anyone

besides your husband

and your daughter?

Well, there's...

Where's Nina?

Jesus.

Puggy.

Anna; Nina?!

my God,

the woman of the house.

I have to go.

Nina? That's you?

What's your name?

Puggy.

Nina!

I don't think they know

I live here.

I won't tell.

There was another shooter.

Man; What do you mean?

What do I mean?

What do you mean,

what do I mean?

I mean there was another

shooter, is what I mean.

So, did you take care

of the job or not?

Not.

Well, did the other shooter

take care of it?

Hold on a second.

- Not right now, okay?

It's cool, man.

Hello?!

Yeah, I'm here.

We want this job finished

as soon as possible.

You got that right.

I'll tell you who did it.

It's probably

some goddamn kids.

'Cause these goddamn kids

today -

they all got goddamn guns,

and they're all sniffing glue!

Any additional insights,

mr. Herk?

Any information can

help us to protect you.

I seriously doubt that you or any other

member of the police force in this town

could protect their own d*cks

with both hands.

Thank you

for that observation.

I'm not gonna

arrest you, Matt,

unless mrs. Herk

wants to press charges.

Hey - kids.

I want to press charges!

Cuff him!

my hands are kind of full

right now,

what with holding my dick

and all.

This "Killer" thing's

really stupid, matt.

Yes, ma'am.

Good - now you

and your shithead kid

can get the hell out of here

and never come back.

Thanks for everything.

I'll walk you out.

Go get the Geo,

will you, matt?

You have a Geo?

A metro, the LDl coupe,

or the hatchback?

my biological father

sells them in Tulsa.

If the salesman tried to pitch you on

free undercoating, it's total bullshit.

They fall apart

before they rust.

60% of the parts are made from

recycled plastic soda bottles.

It's true.

Listen, I'm sorry

my husband's such an idiot.

He's probably really upset

because someone shot his TV.

No, he's an idiot.

Do you think someone's

trying to kill him?

God, I hope so.

What does a guy like Arthur

do for a living?

He's an executive

at Penultra Corporation.

I did

an article on them once.

They built the jail downtown

where the plumbing doesn't work.

I called it

"Crapital Punishment. "

Eliot Arnold

from The Herald?

I used to read your column.

You were so funny.

What happened?

I lost my sense of humor

in the divorce.

How does a guy like Arthur

end up

with someone like you?

I married him

when Jenny was little.

my first husband

left us kind of early,

and we had to move to this

crappy little apartment.

And I met Arthur.

He was different then.

I keep looking up divorce

lawyers in the phone book,

but then I think about
