Sin City: A Dame to Kill For Page #3

Ethan, may he rest in peace,

and he could've been president.

Did you really think

that I was gonna claim you?

You beat me, Roark.

But when I get back

it'll be a whole different game.

It's another hot night.

dry and windless.

The kind that makes people

do sweaty, secret things.

Things worth money to me.

This is the last time, Sally.

This has got to be

the last time.

You always say that.

I mean it this time.

She glides

out of her coat

like it was Christmas wrapping,

playing it for all it's worth.

And it's worth plenty.

- This is the end for us.

- The end for us?

It's my wife.

She's asking all

kinds of questions.

She suspects something.

She'll sue and she'll get

everything. Everything!

Everything you've

worked so hard for.

I work my butt off.

I built my business up from

out of nothing. Nothing.

Nobody appreciates you,

do they, Joey?

Not the way you deserve.

Nobody. Not the employees,

who would be out on the street

if it wasn't for me.

Not my wife,

- who I found on the street.

- And she lives in that mansion

- you bought her.

- Wearing all those clothes

that I got her. With my money,

my hard-earned money!

I think you're so strong.

You're damn right

about that.

Do I get any credit?

They just take

and take and take.

One of these days, I'm gonna

fire the whole pack of 'em.

I'm gonna show them

who's boss.

Show me, Joey.

Show me who's boss.

Yeah.

I'll show you.

I'm gonna show you.

Then she's moaning

and saying "boss"

- in time with his movements.

- Boss! Bossy!

Bossy! Bossy!

It's all over pretty quickly.

I get everything I need.

The sad thing is,

some of the compositions

are pretty good.

You made me

feel like a woman.

I know that sounds corny,

but it's true.

I love you, baby.

You know I love you.

Even when you lie to me.

My wrist hurts, Joey.

You think you can get the key?

It's just in my purse.

You don't have any idea

how much I've sacrificed.

What are you doing, Joey?

It's tearing me up

how much I love you,

and what I got to do.

But I've worked too hard.

And Gloria

will get everything.

And I can't let that happen.

No.

I don't have a choice.

It's all her fault.

Joey, please. I...

I won't tell anyone, I swear to God.

I know you won't want to talk.

I know that,

- but you're only human.

- Oh, my aching back.

Gloria's gonna

find out about you,

if she doesn't know already,

and she's gonna

offer you

a lot of money,

my money!

And she's gonna

give it to you

to bring me down!

- Then I'll go away.

- Who's gonna pay for the ticket?

The ticket

and God knows what else!

Then the apartment!

The clothes!

The car!

You're gonna suck me dry,

and you'll never
