The Whole Nine Yards Page #5

I don't know.

I've done something terrible.

What could be so terrible?

You've gotta get out of Canada.

Just get the hell out.

I'm in Chicago.

Yeah, I heard about that.

Have you seen Janni yet?

How'd you know?

Relax.

I know about the whole thing, okay?

Don't worry.

I'll explain everything to you

when you get back, okay?

In the meantime, have a good time

while you're down there. Live it up.

We'll talk when you get back.

If you say so, Jim--

You gonna invite me in, or do I go down

and tell Janni's guys you're impolite?

Janni's guys are downstairs?

Yes, come in.

Love a man with manners.

Janni sent me to see

if you're on the level.

Janni's the trusting type.

So do you or don't you?

Do I or don't I...?

Know where my wayward husband is.

Mrs. Tudeski--

Cynthia. Why be formal

with the woman you'll widow?

-You don't understand.

-What's not to understand?

You want your 30 pieces of silver.

My question is, why didn't you

do the job yourself?

Why didn't l...?

Why didn't you kill Jimmy

and collect on the contract?

Didn't you have the stomach for it?

Or is your problem

a little further south?

-Did you vomit recently?

-A minute ago.

-I was just gonna brush my teeth.

-I'll wait.

Mrs. Tudeski....

Cynthia, none of this was my idea.

You just happened to travel 1 000 miles

to rat Jimmy out to Janni.

That's what I'm trying to say!

It wasn't my idea. It was my wife's.

She wanted me to come to Chicago

and rat Jimmy out.

Maybe it would be best for everybody

if you went to Janni...

...and said that I'm crazy,

that I'm nuts.

I'm chemically imbalanced.

I'm wacko!

Maybe that would be the best thing.

Because....

Tell him I'm acting the way

I'm acting right now.

But you do know where

Jimmy is, don't you?

Look, Mrs. Tudeski, I don't want

anybody to die.

That is on the level.

What do you want?

What do I want?

I just want this all to end.

I am so damn scared.

That's room service.

Before I vomited, I ordered scotch.

There you go.

Thank you.

What would you say to a drink?

I'd say no ice, no water,

in a tall glass.

What can I say? I was young.

Jimmy was like no man

I'd ever met before.

Yeah, well, he's the

first killer I've known.

No one like him at my daddy's

country club. Lousy husband, though.

Cheated on me constantly.

So why didn't you just...?

Divorce him?

Jimmy doesn't believe in divorce.

Thinks it's a sin.

A hit man with morals.

Go figure.

Now that he's out of prison,

are you guys gonna get back together?

Assuming Frankie and Janni

don't kill him first?

Jimmy and I are over.

Even if I wanted to make

another go of it, which I don't...

...there'd always be

that other thing between us.
