- Jacks wild?

Jacks definitely not wild.

~ Woman:
Marsha, stay in?

-( rings )

Hello?

- Woman:
Hi, is this Jack Mabry's place?

- Excuse me?

Oh, my name is Lucetta Creeson.

My husband's...

Excuse me,

I couldn't understand what--

~ Can I speak to Jack Mabry?

- Well, this is Mrs. Mabry.

Okay, can I speak to Jack?

You need my husband.

I can give him a mess--

( dial tone)

( people chattering )

- Stone:
Hey, you get ahold of him?

- Lucetta:
She was a little short.

You know? Like, I don't know. Like she

didn't want to talk or something.

Why-why-why you talkin' to her?

Hey, Tommy, Tommy, we don't bite.

Huh-uh, no biting, okay?

Do you understand what I'm sayin'?

I need you to do this for me right now.

Right now. Don't let it slide.

Lucetta:

Okay, I will.

Stone:

Okay? Call him tonight.

Call him tomorrow.

Call him tomorrow night.

Call him the day after.

Call him the day after tomorrow night.

That's what I'm getting at is do you

believe what you did was wrong?

What-what d'you think,

because I grew up westside

that like I'm one of

these socio-delinquent types,

don't know the difference

between right and wrong?

You want me to tell you

about my bad childhood and sh*t?

I don't know. Did you have one?

Well, you know, at the time,

I thought a lot of sh*t was normal.

It was definitely unhealthy,

but on the same token,

you know, I didn't think

I was a bad person to begin with.

So, you know, I mean,

what, you want to know

if I'm gonna light

any more grandparents on fire?

- Are you?

- No.

~ You got any more?

- Yeah, I got one.

Yeah well, try to make

a better effort with that one.

I'm not trying to be flip.

I think I deserve to be free, I do.

Why, because you did the time?

That's it, you're ready?

Now you're a clean slate?

I'm clean as anybody, man.

I'm clean as you.

( chuckles )

Well, maybe, maybe not.

Seriously, let me

ask you something, you know.

Why are you-- why are you--

why are you gonna sit there,

like, asking me these questions

like you never done nothin'?

I mean, you know, why do you

get to walk around free and I don't?

I wasn't convicted of a crime.

Oh, come

you never did anything bad?

Never did anybody no wrong,

had to be forgiven for nothin'?

No, never broke the law.

What, you never got

a speeding ticket?

You never backed somebody up

in a bar fight or something?

Sh*t, Vietnam you never killed

some kid-- you carry that with you?

You step out on your wife,

you f*** that little 15~year~old

who looked at you sideways?

- Okay okay.

- No, come on, man! Come on!

How long you get to keep judgin'

a person for one had thing they done?

No matter how much I paid,
