[ Country] [ Man]

Knowin' that you're mine

And happiness

is being close to you

And though the rain may fall

Our skies will all be blue

If! look close enough

The sun will come

shinin' through

It's such a pretty world today

Look at the sunshine

Today and every day

Since I met you

How'd the new girl work out?

She did herjob.

Who did you have

pay her off?

I did it myself.

That's not like you.

Why am I here?

Some people wanna meet.

They're from downtown.

They've done a few jobs.

Shooters.

Yeah.

I told you I don't like guns.

I know. But they're

looking to move up.

They got their eyes set

on something special.

They know my price?

Everybody knows your price.

Even paid me $300

just to get to you.

You did.

And though the rain may fall

How you been?

I'm okay.

You two know each other?

Couple of years ago,

we worked a two-car job.

You already have a driver.

He don't have the balls

for driving anymore.

You work for a piece, right?

$10,000 up front...

against 15%.

How do we know

you're that good?

Get in.

[Tires Screeching ]

All right! Enough, lunatic.

Enough of this sh*t!

All right, all right,

all right, all right!

We believe you!

We believe you!

Enough! That's enough!

Stop, will you?

I mean,

for Christ's sake!

For Christ's sakes!

Jesus!

[ Engine Stops]

Easy, easy.

Better get new plates

if you plan on taking it out again.

People might be looking for you.

You're crazy.

We'll make you a deal.

I don't work

with people like you.

Or him.

This plan of yours

for our friend-

taking a little long to set up, isn't it?

[Chuckles]

Gotta be patient, pal.

Ah, I see.

Everyjob has its problems.

Couldn't be you just

figured it wrong?

You know something?

I think I'm gonna have to

help you with your education.

This is the quiet part

of the hunt.

Trap's all set.

Cowboy's out there somewhere.

It wouldn't be any fun if the cowboy

just walked right into it, would it?

That'd be no fun.

You know the best part

of our job is?

It's just a game.

It's either them or us.

Maybe me and you.

Oh, no way, Jose.

You're not even in my league.

I tell you what, though.

I'm a very generous man.

Tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm

gonna help you be a better cop.

You know how?

You know what you do

first thing every morning?

Read the sports page.

You know why?

Best part of the newspaper.

[ Scoffs ]

Winners, losers,

how it happened, score.

Now, we've got a better game than

the one they give the players.

They don't retire us

after 10 years.

Just one thing.

You gotta be a player,

a real player,

not just filling out a position.

I guess you figure you're a winner.

That's it.

And you're a loser.
