Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead Page #5

Synopsis: Jimmy the Saint's business is videotaping the terminally-ill, so that they will be around to give 'Afterlife Advice' to their survivors. He hasn't been doing too well lately and has had to turn to loan-sharks to accomodate his failing business, as well as his expensive personal tastes. When an evil gangster-overlord buys up his note and demands a favor of Jimmy, in exchange for the interest that he can't afford, Jimmy capitulates. Jimmy is to scare someone for the gangster-overlord--really rough them up. Without giving too much away (spoiler), the scene goes down badly and Jimmy and his crew all end up with contracts on their heads for their trouble.

# That adjoins|the lonesome sky #

- # Now I know my baby's waiting #|- How are you, Dodie?

# By and by|Brother, by and by #

# By and by #

# When I walk down|the lonesome valley #

Let me ask you something,|Jimmy.

You gonna go through with this thing|no matter what?

I got to. He's got me|on the dangle.

# By and by #

Can't believe that Pieces,|of all people,

is workin'|in this f***in' joint.

- Hello, Jimmy. What's up?|- You.

- You stake me for a cup of coffee, baby?|- F*** off, cheese breath.

Look at you, filthy f***ing Franchise.|You're still alive.

Thought you were doin'|a stretch in County.

I escaped 'cause I was|missin' your nasty little p*ssy, baby.

Shut up. Hook me up.|Come on, Jimmy, five bucks.

Give me five bucks|and I'll pay you back tomorrow, man.

What's the matter, baby?|Your spread ain't sellin'...

on account of you ain't takin' care|of the merchandise anymore?

- Hey, f*** you, Franchise.|- No, thanks.

Jimmy knows I'm sweet on him,|don't you, Jimmy?

That's my boy.

- Clean?|- Always.

- Right.|- That's my man.

Ooh! Me and Jimmy, one day|we's gonna have us a love child.

- Whatever.|- Ain't that right, Jimmy?

- Right.|- Hmm. Hey.

I gotta be goin'. The p*ssy posse's been|rollin' this neighborhood bustin' everybody.

Thanks for the money,|baby.

Better stay clean.

- She don't look good, Slick.|- No.

Needle track city, man. You shouldn't|go contributing to her collapse, man.

Give it a name. Lucinda'll|be dancin' in the breeze...

long after you and I|are takin' the dirt nap.

- Don't touch anything in here.|- Whatever.

I'm ready.

You still got that disease, Pieces?

Cut the sh*t with that!

It's Olden.|My name is Olden.

Always with this "Pieces" sh*t.|Have a little respect.

Whatever, man, I'm sorry.|Didn't mean nothin' by it.

Did they|find out what it is yet?

Naw. In fact, I lost|a toe the other day.

Believe that sh*t?|A toe?

I found a croaker downtown diagnosed it|as a circulatory problem,

a f***in' circulatory problem.

I want to kill the bastard, but I can't|get my f***in' fingers around his...

- Ahh.|- Ow. This is a bad beat, Olden.

Aw, give it a name.

You do your time.

You make an oath|to go right and rigid,

and this is how|you end up,

watching a bunch of raincoat types|kick their gongs around...

and losin'|motherfuckin' toes.

The Man... mentioned me|in particular?

Yes, he did.

- I haven't seen him in years.|- He likes you.

- Me?|- Oh, you're so hard.

- So? Are you in?|- Absolutely, Jim.

I'll use the dough|to get me a legit croaker,

diagnose my malady on the up-and-up|before I lose my dick.

We got a skull session tomorrow at|the Thick 'n' Rich. Can you make it?

Aw, sh...

I'm already there, baby.
