Lost River Page #2

Go inside, Franky, okay?

We're not all paid up, are we?

No.

How much?

3 months.

So, what are we gonna do?

I've got it figured out.

I got offered a job.

What kind of job?

I don't know. Dave told me about it.

Who the f*** is Dave?

Dave's the bank manager. Jesus Christ.

I can't f***ing do anything right!

Hey! Bones!

Hey!

You better run your f***in' ass!

Dave?

I'm calling about that job.

Larry, can you weigh my bag?

Man, you can't come in here anymore.

- Look at this stuff. It's number one, okay?

- Yeah, that's a good number one.

- There's about $100 worth in the bag!

- I don't care.

- Why?

- Things ain't like it used to be, man.

Bully running everything now.

You're a dead motherf***er.

You know he caught that boy up there

on St. Mary's... that little Chinese boy?

Cut his goddamn lips off

with a pair of scissors.

You think that motherf***er

look funny in the beginning?

You ought to see him now, Bones.

No more copper. No more you, Bones.

What I don't understand...

all this sh*t for some goddamn car parts!

It's not about the car parts

this time, okay? I need the money.

They're gonna take the house.

It's the last time, I promise you.

I'll never come back.

I don't wanna say this to you,

but that might be a blessing in disguise.

So maybe you ought to

take that blessing,

head South, don't stop

until you see Palm Trees.

'Cause Bully ain't

no forgivin' person, man.

Head South, man.

You can't even see the woods

from the trees, motherf***er.

The only way to live is like a bull...

to the wind, you know.

When you put a bull

to the wind, you know,

there's something that happens

with his eyes and his horns,

and it's like Bully town.

You got to remember, man,

blood is important to all of us, you know?

You can't cheat death.

You can't cheat life.

You can't cheat anything, really.

You never wanna let people down.

You let him go?

Hey!

Can I watch your TV?

- Yeah.

- Okay, thanks.

I dreamed I was a knight.

With my armor and my horse,

I went out to fight a dragon.

Try to buy some chops

and he could really cook your steak, bud.

Let me tell you, boy.

He was a mean dragon

from the very word of go.

I found a road that goes underwater.

Where?

Behind the old zoo.

Must go down to that town.

What town?

You know, the town

at the bottom of the reservoir.

- That's crazy. What does that mean?

- It's not really that crazy.

They flooded a bunch of towns

when they dammed the river.

That's why they call this Lost River.

I have a movie about it.

- A movie?

- Yeah.

Like an educational film or something.

You really never heard about it?

No.

My grandmother used to live there.

She hasn't been the same ever since.
