Lonely Hearts
(0.00 / 0 votes)Hey, we're all proud of you, Buster.
Charlie.
Small town cops dropping
a pair like this.
Wait a lifetime, never even
sniff one this good.
Wanna make a move to the boroughs,
you let me know.
It's a phone call.
Hey, maybe you
wanna throw the switch.
I can fix that, too.
You are such an asshole.
You don't even know
what you have here.
Whatever it is,
consider it our gift to you.
You know,
you don't have to go in there.
Yeah, I do.
If any two maggots ever deserved
to boil in their own shit,
it was Ray Fernandez
and Martha Beck.
in a Lansing jail cell
if it weren't for Buster.
Or, maybe it was Annie.
Buster's wife.
a service thirty-eight in her ear.
No note. No nothin'.
Just blew her brains
out all over the bathtub.
Cops don't talk about what they see.
They push it down with a stiff Bromo
and a bourbon back, hide behind a...
newspaper and hope nobody notices.
But after...
Buster found Annie in the bathroom,
that all changed.
And he took it out on Fernandez
and Beck with a vengeance.
If they wrote
a book on confidence men,
Ray Fernandez would've
been the pinup boy.
He wasn't the first rat-f*ck barnacle
to play the lonely hearts game.
But he might've been the smoothest.
He knew the game, he knew his marks.
He loved the way it made him feel.
Hell, he was so slick, he even convinced
himself he was Don-fucking-Juan.
Oh Bea...
I'm so sorry I'm late.
A thousand apologies.
So sorry I'm late.
The meetings with my lawyers ran over.
I'm so sorry I'm late.
Had a meeting with my lawyers.
It went over.
I was in such a hurry I...
left my wallet and my passport.
I left my wallet and my passport.
And I left my passport
and my wallet...
on the counter at the airport.
You're even more...
beautiful than your picture.
Stunning.
Today's a special day.
It's the oldest con in the book.
He pen paled 'em, war widows,
old maids, spinsters, anyone alone.
Was like picking plums.
They advertised, for Christ sake,
through correspondence clubs
He was quite the bard.
Always slipping in a little
fishing expedition to feel...
out their bank account.
If he smelled... money, Valentino.
If he thought they were broke...
he'd bounce 'em...
like a bad check.
Buster was my partner.
We went all the way back to a squad car,
for Christ sake.
He was the toughest badge
I'd ever seen.
Turned more collars than
a Chinaman drycleaner.
But after he lost Annie,
he parked himself behind the desk,
pushing paper, taking phone calls,
and a lot of other people's shit.
I didn't understand that.
Robinson, Homicide.
You don't know shit
because Jackie Robinson is a...
I don't know shit?
veteran baseball...
F*ck Jackie Robinson.
Jesus Christ, let me tell you
something so everybody can hear me.
You gave me a hundred to one.
Hundred to one I wouldn't drop
to put a n*gger in baseball.
Okay? Even, even if he
is a cousin of Robinson's here.
Okay?
It's okay.
Hello. Oh, Mrs. Reilly?
Oh, Reilly,
your wife's on the phone.
wants to know if I can
come down there and finish her off.
How you gonna...
finish her off,
you haven't seen your prick
in six months, you fat f*ck.
That's funny, your wife...
found it real good.
You think I'm scared of you...
you big fuckin' sack of meat?
- Get outta here.
- Why don't ya...
keep your mouth shut
and learn something?
F*ck you.
I'm telling you, he's gonna
burn your house... down one day.
