Come on, you give me a ride | when you get this thing running.
Gotta get yourself cleaned up.
Yeah.

- Why don't you leave Benjy alone. | - I'm talking to Benjy, all right?
What does he need with chicken?
- Who's going to say grace? Benjy? | - How about Mary Jean?
Bless us, lord, and these, they gifts...
which we are about to receive | from thy bounty.
Through Christ, our lord, amen.
- Amen. | - All right. Good job. Okay, let's eat.
You made me look bad.
That's what I'm saying, okay?
I didn't mean to. | I thought he was going to hurt her.
You want to get your butt sawed off, | that's your business.
But if I'm standing there, | I gotta do something.
And I don't want to do nothin.
How are you, Ace?

The kid sees this guy | kicking his ladys butt in the parking lot.
He wants me to pull over. We're off duty!
What? Them two on Washington?
- Yeah, you know 'em? | - Thems two at it all the time.
Beats the sh*t out of her once a week.
How was I supposed to know that?
So the kid, here, | he makes me pull over to a stop...
and he jumps right in the middle of it.
Here. Now, I got to do something.
Kid, you're off duty. | You see something, call a cop.
I am a cop.
Here it comes.
No, that's Bracey. Hey, man.
Jaws.
You're a long way from home, Lieutenant.
I'm looking for a guy named | Benjamin Taylor.
- That's me. | - That's me, sir.

I'm okay.
You hear about Nick Grazziola?
- He's the detective that was killed last week. | - Yeah.
I want the guys who got him.
You know who did it?
I can't prove it.
I think it's a local outfit stealing Porsches.
They're operating out of a repair shop.
My moneys on the owner, | a guy named Ted Varrick.
I got a snitch working in the place. | He can get somebody in.
Me?
Maybe.
Why me?
'Cause you're a mechanic...
and you're a rookie.
You won't act like a cop.
Grazziola.
He was a friend of yours, wasn't he?
How old are you, son?
22.
Yeah.
You don't have to prove anything...
not to me.
I'll do it.
Okay.
Okay. Bill Ayles.
Hi, I'm Bill Ayles.
How you doing?
Don't forget, a**hole.
You guys make sure I know | what you do with the tire gun.
Right.
- Danny, how you doing? | - Bill.
You better have your sh*t together.
I promised the customer's car today, | so I want it.
I'll be back by 4:00.
You're a smart guy. Right answer.
- What? | - This is Bill Ayles.
- Good for him. | - This is the mechanic I was talking about.
How you doing?
How long will it take you to change | the fuel distributor on this SC?
Book says four hours. | I can do it in three. Maybe two.
You charge by the book or hours worked?
Depends on the customer.
This guy says it's running rough, | getting lousy gas mileage.
Says he wants a tune-up. | You got a couple hours?
Just reach in and adjust the sensor plate. | Sounds a little low.
Try it for a couple days.
8:
00 to 5:00. And I mean, 8:00, not 8:01. | One hour for lunch.$14 an hour to start.
- When? | - Right now. Give him a jumpsuit.
Okay, now, no loud music.
No open-door parties.
Last thing I need is the cops.
Youll love it here.
