What does the wind do?

The wind? The wind?

The wind, the wind,

the wind, the wind,

the wind, the wind, the wind...

It swishes everything around.

Yeah?

It swishes everything

around. Okay.

You have to go.

Well, Meal Ticket's a little

pissed off right now.

Soon as he calms down,

I'm gone. Couple of days, all right?

Number one?

Sh*t, that's got to

be worth something.

I tripped.

You tripped?

Down some steps.

Bullshit.

Who did this to you?

What'd they look like?

Arthur, don't f***ing lie to me.

How are your ribs?

It only hurts when I breathe.

Jesus! Give me this.

Come on. We're going to the hospital.

Arthur, we're going

to the hospital. Let's go.

How many guys?

Jesus, Arthur.

Did you provoke them?

You know what "provoke" means?

Yes.

You lost a tooth, pal.

You got to do

some provoking

to lose a tooth.

Trying to save someone.

How is he?

Jack, Jack,

Jack, Jack, Jack.

Hey, Arthur. How are you?

You hungry?

We brought some dinner.

Meatloaf.

Meatloaf!

Who did this, Paul?

I don't know.

He says 10 or 12 guys.

He was trying

to save somebody.

Arthur Poppington?

It's okay. Take it on in with you.

He won't mind.

What does this teach us, Jack?

Next time have a gun.

Hey. Don't be a wise ass.

But...

No, it teaches us that fighting

never solves anything.

Mom.

Sometimes a good

knock in the teeth

isn't such a bad...

Paul!

But, Mom, is it okay to fight if

you're trying to save someone?

The Mayor's all over me, Roger.

We're going to have a problem

with these bikers?

No. No. No.

I got a man deep inside.

Yeah, I got a wire tap

before the judge as we speak.

You need money, resources,

just say the word.

And I appreciate your support, Chief,

but I can't let anybody, even in

the department, know about this.

Sit down and shut

your f***ing face.

Shoot. I... I got to

call you back there, Chief.

Hey, Captain.

Dooney, Dooney, golly.

What the hell?

Are you all right?

Did you just say "golly"?

I did, yeah.

Hey, listen, there's

a rumor out there

about some sting

operation on the bikers.

You hear anything

about that?

No. No. Well, where

did you hear about this?

I don't know.

People talk, you know.

I didn't think much about it,

but thought I'd ask.

Since it's my turf, right?

Right.

Anyway, I'm going to process this

shithead and cut out early?

It's my weekend with the girls.

Good, good.

Family's important.

Hey, you be careful out there.

What's that stand for?

Defendor.

Defender?

Defendor!

My God.

Jesus. How do you spell that?

I know how to spell it!

Relax, guy.

I can't relax.

Not when there are

people out there that need me.

Who needs you?

Who needs you?

I asked you first.
