The Killing of John Lennon Page #4

---

You're the one

who married a little helpless girl,

and now you're gonna go away

and leave her - leave her under my care.

Gloria is not under your care and Gloria

is not helpless. And neither are you.

So you take care of you

and Gloria will be fine on her own,

and I'll be back

before you know it.

- I'm not buying it.

- Well, you don't have to buy it.

I know when you are lying to me.

Now, if there is a real reason

why you feel the need

to go back to New York City,

I want you to tell it to me

right now.

[laughs]

[clears throat]

My decision

is I'm gonna go travel.

- I don't understand the whole thing. I...

- You don't have to understand!

OK? I am just doing

what I want to do.

You don't need to understand

everything that I do.

"The phoney must die",

says "The Catcher in the Rye".

"The phoney must die",

says "The Catcher in the Rye".

- Can I help?

- I need something for protection at home.

- OK. Anything in mind?

- What would you suggest?

Well, if you get a.22 and a burglar

comes in, he's just gonna laugh at you.

Handy little gun, it's fast,

but don't do much damage.

But if you get a.38,

nobody's gonna laugh at you.

A fine, solid gun.

Blue steel, snub nose,

otherwise the same

as a police service revolver.

Now, that will stop anything that moves

and it's handy, flexible,

it's lightweight,

reliable.

You know, some of these guns

are like toys, but a Smith & Wesson,

you can hit somebody over the head

with it and it'll still come back dead on.

You can't beat quality.

Are you interested in an automatic?

How much?

With specialised grips,

OK. I'll take it.

Hi. I'd like a ticket to New York.

One-way.

So long as you fill out a form and

the firearm and ammunition are separate.

- And where do I get that form?

- At the check-in.

But the gun has to be in your luggage.

You can't take it on board.

- And that's it?

- That's it.

- Thank you very much.

- Have a good flight.

[aeroplane engine]

[Mark] There's a smell in New York.

It's a scary smell and a cold smell

and I'm frightened,

frightened of someone

finding out my secret.

[driver] Gonna be in town long?

You ever been to the city?

Where are you from, bud?

They don't have traffic like this

on main street where you live, huh?

Have you stopped

to see Central Park yet?

It's great this time of the year.

A lot of snow.

[Mark] Take me where the freaks are.

[driver] You are where the freaks are.

New York is all freaks.

You're in Times Square.

This is about as big as a freak section

as you're gonna get.

Have you ever seen

John Lennon?

Yeah. He's around.

Seen him in town.

He lives up ahead here.

Matter of fact,
