In the Electric Mist Page #3

if I get a little upset

by these

kinds of attitudes, Dave.

I come home

to this shithole.

I'm a prominent man

in the entertainment business.

I talk on the phone every day

to people in California

you read about

in Entertainment Weekly.

They ought to have

"Welcome Back Balboni Day."

Instead,

I get treated

like sewer gas by you.

You understand

what I'm saying, Dave.

It hurts me.

Sit down

while I take a whiz.

Cholo,

where's your hospitality?

Get the man

a soft drink.

Here, Lieutenant.

Julie was telling me

about that time

that n*gger

almost popped you with a .38

in the French Quarter.

Said he saved your life.

Weren't you and Julie baseball buddies

in high school?

Take the hint,

Cholo.

This guy's

not a conversationalist.

You working on that

Cherry LeBlanc deal?

What you know

about that?

All over

today's paper, man.

Julie and me

were just talking about it.

Sounds like you got

one sick f*** on the loose.

My meter's running,

Julie.

I want to talk about

that murdered girl

we found south of town.

Which girl is that?

Cherry LeBlanc.

I guess

I ain't heard about it.

You don't read

the newspaper?

I've been busy.

I can see that.

We used to be friends,

Dave.

I even maybe

did you a favor once.

So I'm going to line it out

for you and any locals

that want to get

the wax out their ears.

Louisiana's flat-ass broke.

New Orleans

is a mortuary.

And the bottom

of a toilet's got more appeal

than this shithole

in the bayou.

So they better

wake up to the fact

that we are dropping

close to $40 million

in Iberia Parish.

They don't like the name

Balboni around here?

We'll move the whole

f***ing movie

over to Mississippi.

See how that floats

with those coon-ass jack-offs

on the Chamber of Commerce.

You're

in the movie business now?

Yeah, I'm producing Whlte Doves

with Michael Goldman.

What you think

about that?

I'm sure everybody

wishes you success, Julie.

I'ma do

a baseball movie next.

You want a part in it?

You can go on in.

You remember me, Dave?

It's Doucet, isn't it?

Yes, sir,

Murphy Doucet.

You got a good memory.

I was with the Jefferson Parish

Sheriff's Department

when you were with NOPD.

I guess you're

in the movie business now,

along with everybody else.

Yeah, I own half

of a security service now,

and I'm still with the Teamsters

out of Lafayette.

So I'm kind of doing

double duty here.

Is there some kind of trouble?

Where can I find

Mr. Goldman?

Right on the other side

of them trees.

I'll let him know

you're coming.

It's all right.

I'll find him.

We had two divisions of soldiers

march through that?

Looks like we're shooting

a bread commercial.
