But we got a problem.
He left town
for a week, Vegas.
I promised my friends
that I wouldn't do
my laundry
in their backyard,
and I always
keep my promise.
That's why they call me
honest John, right?
So we wait.
Give him the bag.
That's $25,000.
You sit, you wait a week,
you do the work.
No mistakes.
You ever wanna get
together again,
this is how you get
ahold of me.
Just give me a call.
My name is Johnnie,
in case you forgot.
Where you from,
Johnnie?
A long way from here.
That's it,
no more questions.
Yeah, well... I'm gonna
leave town real soon.
It's no big deal.
I had forgotten about
her Shakespeare obsession.
First thing she did
after she got here
was send for
the complete works.
You got a little blast
of it, huh?
Yes, my inability to recognize
was held to be
an unforgivable fault.
She's constantly
reminding me
she's probably
the most clever woman
who ever drew a breath.
Just this morning I got
Poe?
As in Edgar Allan?
Oh, god, is there another?
Do you read poe?
Of course not.
You don't read Shakespeare,
so why would you read
one of our country's greatest
and most influential authors?
Well, when I was a kid
I always liked
What-- what's the point?
Poe once wrote an essay called
"the philosophy of composition."
In it he develops
being indifferent to moral
and political considerations,
that real art
was about its own dynamic
inner relationships
able to stand
on style alone.
You should read it.
I guess I have
to ask this again.
What's the point?
The point,
Dr. galen, is that,
in addition to being
a medical doctor,
i am an artist.
Frankie, baby,
good to see you.
Hey, listen.
We've got a problem.
It doesn't involve
Mr. Benny Hong Lee.
And I really hate
to say this, Frankie,
'cause I like you,
but you made some enemies.
Some bad ones.
Now, I did
a little renegotiating,
and I got a better deal.
I'm now satisfied
that the conditions
are correct
and in place.
Frankie, you should take
it easy on yourself.
Do what I tell ya.
Ugh.
The f***?
Uhh!
No!
No!
No!
Hey!
Who the sh*t are you?
You're some kind of
laid-up hooker, right?
You on dope?
Somebody work you over?
I kinda like
that look of yours.
Get out.
I got a right being
in this room, okay?
I own and operate
this joint.
And your screamin'...
Somebody wandering
around in here,
I thought maybe
there might be trouble.
Where'd you
come from, huh?
The guys registered
in this room didn't
tell me nothin'.
takin' it six or so blocks
