Poker Night Page #3

She says I'm driving her crazy.

Short f***ing trip.

Wanna play some cards? You know how

I like taking your money, don't you?

- I know you like taking my money.

- I love taking your money.

I brought extra. Good.

I'm a little short.

Hey, can I borrow

20 before we start?

Of course.

Sit down.

Come on in, gentlemen.

So, this is how it works, kid.

You against us.

We win a hand,

we tell you a story.

And, uh, you ought to listen up 'cause these

stories are worth a year of street experience.

So, put yourself in our shoes,

you, uh, think like we think,

and then one day when you

find yourself in a bad spot,

you'll remember

what we taught you.

Hopefully,

you'll make it out alive.

We were there making mistakes.

You listen, you learn.

Maybe you don't have

to make the same ones.

We ain't good for much else

except these stories.

It's all we got left

to contribute to you young kids.

Speak for yourself,

Calabrese, old b*tch.

I'm still out there kicking

ass and breaking balls.

I seen you, Calabrese. I could limp

faster than you with Bernard on my back.

I could take a sh*t

faster than you.

Hey. Hey. F*** all

you all, motherfuckers.

You grumpy-ass motherf... I'll kick all your

f***ing asses, right here and right now.

- Aw, sh*t. Come on. Sit down, Calabrese.

- All right. I'll sit down.

You're supposed to get wisdom as you get

older, not leak it out when you piss.

About 10 years ago, the chief

made a decision to start...

bringing in some heavy hitters.

We're a small town,

but crime was rising.

He figured you bring in some big

city vets about ready to retire...

and give them a couple years

here training the rookies,

they might just be able

to stay ahead of the curve.

He brought in some of the best.

Jason Cunningham.

This guy survived the Richmond drug

wars and took down over 300 collars.

Incorruptible and unsociable.

A.J. Bernard,

one of Memphis's finest.

A.J. solved over 45 homicides,

retired here seven years ago.

Been one of the poker squad

ever since.

Byron Davis, Chicago PD.

Toughest cop I ever met.

Had an accident four years ago

and headed for greener pastures.

Floyd Maxwell,

15 years on the front lines.

Doesn't say much,

but when he does, listen.

They call him "the Hawk,"

and the Hawk was watching me.

The lieutenant, Mike Calabrese.

Maybe the most beloved

senior officer ever.

Always looking out for his men.

Always there to lend a hand.

Last year he saved my life.

Through the, uh, gravel pit

up where the...

Shot fired. Sh*t.

Get your head

out of your ass, Jeter!

Thank you.

Stay close.

Lieutenant.

I want to say thank you.

You saved my f***ing life.

No, you did. Y-You...
