Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil Page #4

Which conversation shall we join?

The one least likely to involve gunfire.

Excuse me for a moment.

That's from Napoleon's

coronation carriage.

You have an impressive collection.

No, Mr. Kelso. Look around.

It's not a collection, it's my home.

- Faberg?

- I'm a minor enthusiast.

Minor?

Three eggs...

...a jewelry box and, I believe,

a gold-leaf album.

Nicholas himself would be lucky

to have so much Faberg.

Wouldn't he?

I admit to that.

Would you care

to see something a little more...

...unusual?

That'd be very nice.

Hello, Mother, darling.

- Are you enjoying yourself?

- I'm having a wonderful time.

John Kelso.

He's a writer, Mother.

This is what we call the ballroom.

JOHN:

Is this the prized relic?

JIM:

It's a very rare relic.

This is the dagger

that Prince Yussopov used...

...to murder Rasputin.

He sliced off

his cock and balls with it.

True story...

...and deliciously evil,

don't you think?

Delicious.

German Luger?

Be careful, it's loaded.

We've had burglaries.

Everybody's got loaded guns around here.

So tell me.

Has your family always collected?

That's a very genteel way of asking

if I come from old money.

- Do you?

- No.

I was born in Gordon, Georgia,

a little town outside of Macon.

My father was a barber,

sometime house builder.

My mother was a secretary.

What money I have is about 11 years old.

So, yes, I am...

...nouveau riche.

But then it's the riche that counts.

There's only 2 things

that interest me...

...work...

...and those trappings of aristocracy

that I find worthwhile.

The very things they're forced to sell

when the money runs out.

And it always runs out.

And then all they're left with...

...is their lovely manners.

F*** you, goddamn b*tch!

BILLY:

Wouldn't even let me in the house.

Had to come in the servants' entrance.

Excuse me for a minute?

We agreed you'd stay away tonight.

Don't give me that drag-ass sh*t.

I got stood up tonight, I'm pissed off.

Give me $20.

You get paid on Friday

like everyone else.

Give me $20.

- I need it to get f***ed up, is what.

- You've accomplished that, sport.

BILLY:

Give me the money.

I ain't even close to getting f***ed up

the way I want to get.

I'm not going to give you money

for liquor or marijuana...

...or whatever else you've invited...

F*** you, Jim!

You don't give me warnings!

I give them to you! I can back mine up.

And you, you piece of sh*t!

You better watch yourself.

F*** you.

That's Billy Hanson.

He works part-time in the shop...

...and can, on occasion,

be a very colorful character.

(DOGS BARK)

I don't know who hates me more,

the Atwells or their dogs.

Lon Atwell's been upset with me since I
