The Crossing Guard

To lose

an 18-year-old brother.

He didn't get a chance to graduate

from high school. It was a blow.

It destroyed me.

It made me feel like-

I was afraid

to love anybody.

I was really afraid

to let people get close to me.

I felt

if I loved somebody,

deeply, you know,

like I do my family,

they would be taken away.

I said, "Where'd you learn

to do that?"

She said, "Practicing on

an old flame since I was 16."

Look at this guy here. He's lookin' at

me and beatin' his meat. I like that.

There she is. Right?

Miss America, 1912.

Ina!

Let's hear it for Ina.

Comes here every night,

huh, sweetie?

Right.

Let me have a kiss.

Bring out the broads!

Let me at him!

Let me at him!

Somebody throw a net

over this broad.

Did you see him kiss

that fat fucker?

Steve.

I'll always know him as 18.

He, uh-

He was killed by a drunk driver just

a month before he was to graduate.

And-

It's hard when you have

two policemen come in and say,

"Your daughter's dead. "

I op- I opened the door

and I saw 'em standing there,

and I said,

"Mandy's dead, isn't she?"

A mom knows.

All right!

Freddy, he's comin' over here.

You better slide in... a lot.

- He needs half a booth.

- Sunny. How ya doin', Sunny? Everything good?

How 'bout that?

How'd you like to spank it?

- Nice!

- Oh, yeah! But softly.

- Sunny, you had to spank that, right?

- Nice.

My wife,

you know Joan.

We got a step-down living room.

It's like two steps down.

So the bitch don't wanna walk.

She wants me to raise it.

She don't wanna walk down

two steps.

I still have to get over that.

It's something that...

- you have to work with on a daily basis.

- it's not gonna come back.

It's just something of- It's yours.

It's like your body lost...

something inside,

something of yourself.

I miss me.

I miss... me.

It's over five years now,

and...

I look in the mirror,

"Where's Bobby?"

I don't know.

My family drives me

up the fuckin' wall.

I mean, they, I guess they still,

they still think I'm me, Bobby.

But... they joke about it.

They call me...

sibling number three, all right?

And... it's like a nickname

for Bobby depressed.

It was my older brother Danny

that we lost.

And...

he was sibling number one.

And...

they, th-they didn't-

Did they forget?

I don't know.

I'm gone!

And-

I miss me.

So...

that's it.

Who's runnin'

this fuckin' show?

- You oughta go.

- What?

Go.

- You should go.

- Okay, yeah. I'm gonna go.

Um... Freddy,

can I use your shower?

Help yourself.

# Woke up this mornin' #

# There was a chill in the air #

# Went into the kitchen

My cigarettes were lyin' there #

# Jacket hung on the chair

the way I left it last night #

# Everything was in place

Everything seemed all right #

# But you were missin' #

# Missing #

# Missing #

# Last night I dreamed

the sky went black #

# You were drifting down

Couldn't get back #

# Lost in trouble

so far from home #

# I reached for you

My arms were like stone #

# Woke and I'm missin' you #

# Missin' you #

# Missing #

# Oh #

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ##

Jefferey.

It's five after 10:00. I got a window

display of gray felt. What's goin' on?

Mr. Gale, you took all the vault keys

home last night.

- For f*ck sakes.

- I think...

it would be wonderful to put emerald

pieces in front of the diamonds.

I trust your preference

in stones, Jefferey, but...

I'm very busy,

you know what I mean?

All the time,

I'm very busy.

So, uh, think ahead

a little bit.

I'm walkin' out the door,

you're closin' up,

you don't have the vault keys

in your pocket, stop me.
