Hey, Billy. Moving as fast as I can, man.

Let me just get this dress on,

and I'm gonna be right out there.

- You don't need to get dressed.

- Damn car's still acting up.

Leticia, listen. It's not just your car.

You've been late every day this week.

Billy, I've been trying to get here.

I need this money.

I'm gonna lose my house.

Look, why don't you go home, relax,

take some time off, you know?

You shouldn't be here right now, anyway.

I know that. That's why

you should've had gave me the week off.

With some pay.

Hell, Leticia, I already got a new girl.

Hank?

Let's just get this over with quick.

Is there a passage

you would like me to read?

No.

All I want to hear

is that dirt hitting that box.

He was weak.

You can say a little something, though,

if you want to, once we've covered him up.

- How you doing?

- All right.

- You want to see a menu?

- No, that's all right. I know what I want.

Okay, what you gonna have?

A bowl of chocolate ice cream

and a cup of coffee.

- Coffee. Black, sugar, cream?

- No, black.

- That's it. Yeah.

- That it?

Hey, Vera, it's Hank.

Is it too late?

Okay, chocolate ice cream. Here you go.

I'm gonna... I'm gonna need

a plastic spoon for the ice cream.

Oh! Goddamn!

I'm sorry about that.

- It's all right.

- Sh*t! I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry.

- Bring me some napkins or something.

- Okay. I'm sorry about that.

It's all right.

- And you said a what?

- Plastic spoon.

Okay, I'll get it.

- Where's Lucille?

- I'm trying to fill in for her.

- I'm ready to pay this.

- Yep.

- What's the deal there?

- I don't know. I just over-rang this thing.

If you can't get that thing open,

just tell me how much it is,

and I'll pay you for it.

$3.92.

There's $4.00. You keep the change.

Thanks.

Hey, cowboy.

Feel like some late-night p*ssy?

Guess so.

Haven't seen you in a while.

Yeah, well...

I ain't been feeling too good.

Busy, a lot of things.

This and that and the other, you know?

How you been?

- All right.

- Good.

So, how's Sonny?

I can't do this tonight, Vera.

- Are you sure, hon?

- No, not tonight. I'm sorry.

No need to be sorry.

Let's just do it some other time.

All right.

- You can keep that money.

- I'm going to.

Adios.

- Have a seat, Hank.

- Thank you, sir.

I appreciate you seeing me.

What brings you here, Hank?

Sir, I'm resigning.

And, I wanted to come by

and tell you personally, you know?

I appreciate that, Hank.

Why don't we wait a few weeks

before we submit the paperwork?

That wouldn't do anybody any good

to wait on that, though.

I've got my mind made up.

All right.

We're gonna miss you.

I brought my badge in and...

Why don't you keep it?
