One Good Cop Page #4

---

Sh*t!

What are you trying to do, Mickey?

Booby-trap this place?

Mick, what's up?

It's different than it was last time.

Last time you called me a mutt, Lewis.

Bet you're sorry you didn't kill me.

If I wanted to kill you,

there's this invention called a gun.

Know what I'm saying?

That's not what happened last time.

You promised you were gonna stay clean

for your wife and kids.

- Right?

- I went and got dirty again, man.

- That sh*t's gonna kill you, Mick.

- Wrong, cop, wrong.

This ain't no playground goof.

This is superfreeze. 12 hours of power.

If it's that good, we should try some.

Cops can't get into this, man.

Cops and b*tches are all about

stopping a man having fun.

Like this b*tch over here.

El tremendo b*tch.

Mickey! Don't hurt your wife, Mickey.

He's gonna hurt her.

- What's the matter with you?

- He'll kill her.

- Stay right there. Don't you move.

- You stay down, b*tch.

- He's gonna give her up.

- What's the matter with you?

Mickey. How could a nice girl like that

spoil any of your fun?

I'm dealing ice, two bills a night.

- She'd rather I was a messenger.

- I'm going in the kitchen.

She tells me to get out of the deal.

I tell her I'm in. There ain't no getting out.

She says she's gonna call Detective Lewis.

Detective f***ing Lewis

who locked me up the first time.

I say, "You don't gotta call him."

- "I'm gonna call him for you."

- No! God!

- Here he is, like I promised you.

- It isn't her fault!

Mick, think about your boys.

That's right. You don't want them

to see you hurt their mother.

You're bringing up them kids right.

Don't hurt 'em.

Gunshot don't hurt.

Bullet goes whack and you go black.

And then Jesus'll take 'em!

After the father he gave 'em,

he owes 'em something, right?

Mick, let me ask you something.

Do you always take those boys out to play?

Don't you go out and play ball with them

all the time?

You gotta start 'em young

if you want 'em to be any good.

That's right. I bet you buy them

everything they want too, don't you?

When one of their boys has something,

they got to have it.

He-Man, GI Joe, Ghostbusters...

I know you got those... building kits

and bikes you gotta put together.

- Those instructions'll drive you nuts.

- Because the plans don't make sense.

Companies want to make you

look a chump in front of your kids.

Loving your kids

doesn't make you a chump.

Doesn't mean you can't

blow some dude away if you have to.

You're not one of them street mutts

who uses people.

You're a good father. All right?

Good husband.

You're a little stressed out today, that's all.

It could happen to anybody.

- What's he doing?

- I don't know, Artie.
