The Real McCoy Page #3

Look, I'm sorry.

Cheryl and I,

we've made a decision,

Karen, all right?

I mean, I didn't really have any choice.

I just think it's better for Patrick.

- Can I help you?

- I'm lookin' for Jack Schmidt.

- Is he expecting you?

- There he is. Thank you. Hey, Jack!

- J.T. J.T. Barker.

- Who's that?

It's my cousin's boy.

How ya doin'?

Nice to see ya.

What do you want?

I heard, uh, that you're lookin'

for a specialist.

- What are you talkin' about?

- For a little adventure you're planning.

- You better have

something interesting to say.

- Ever heard of Karen McCoy?

McCoy's inside.

No, she's not.

She got paroled.

- I thought you'd be interested.

- Karen's in Atlanta?

Damn sure right.

That's real interesting.

But the fact is...

I'm not plannin' anything.

I'm in the real estate

business, son.

Nice of you

to drop by, though.

Regards to your daddy.

The most you can hope for is

a couple of hours a month...

probably supervised by

some court-appointed agent.

But he thinks I'm dead.

Well, maybe it's

better that way.

- Look, Karen, you're still young.

- No.

You're starting a new life.

You can have another family.

- I don't want another family.

- You're not listening to me.

Well, what if I got a better job,

a better place to live?

- That's gotta help something.

- It's not gonna happen, Karen.

I'm sorry.

For six years, the only thought

that kept me goin' was my son.

- I'm sorry.

- He's my son.

Hello, Karen.

Been a long time.

Not long enough.

Well, now,

Jack don't think so.

- I don't give a damn what Jack thinks.

- Come on, girl.

Take it easy now.

- You tell him I haven't forgotten.

- I don't think you understand.

- Jack wants to talk with you.

- No, I do understand.

I understand perfectly.

You know, maybe you could send...

a little message

to Jack for me, okay?

Aah!

- A**hole.

- What time does the 210 get here?

- About 20 minutes.

Hey, Karen.

Hey, you look great.

Not a good time, J.T.

What, for me to tell you

you look great?

I'm having a really shitty day.

It'd just be better not to irritate me.

What, just 'cause I said...

Hey. Look, why don't

I take you out to dinner? I'm buyin'.

I know this great place.

They got a great menu.

- Great ambience.

- J.T., l...

Come on, you look like

you could use a hot meal.

I'm wet, and l...

- Can I change?

- Sure.

- What are you gonna do about your boy?

- I don't know.

Just know I'm not gonna let

him go, that's for sure.

I got a real good feelin'

everything's gonna turn out all right.

God, I hope so.

Well, see, l... Well, I got

a proposition for you.

Yeah, what?

I know these people.

I mean, they're...

They're good people.

- You know, professional people.
