What Doesn't Kill You Page #7

Synopsis: An armored car is robbed by three men. A passing police officer and one of the robbers exchange fire. The robber is Paulie. In a flashback we follow him and his closest friend, Brian, as they grow up together in South Boston. They're tough guys, thugs, doing jobs for the local boss and chaffing to do more. Paulie's the leader. Brian drinks too much and free bases, ignoring his wife and two young boys. Life-changing events lead him to try to go straight, look for work, take what comes his way, and go to A.A. meetings. He struggles. Paulie shows him the plans for the armored car job. Will they do it? "I am who I am," Brian tells his wife. Is crime his only skill?

give you a call tomorrow. Thanks.

- Thanks, Jay.

- Paulie.

Be good.

You go over to his house?

What? I went to see

if he had the money.

This guy's pumping coke, man. You

don't think he's being watched?

Use your head.

- I went there for two minutes.

- Yeah, well.

- That mine?

- Yeah.

Thanks. Hey, who

won the Celtics game?

- Cavs by eight.

- F*** me.

- You bet those bums again?

- Yeah.

F***ing Celtics.

What'd you say?

- Who is that f***ing guy? - I don't know.

I never saw him before, Brian.

What the f***'s

that guy named? Dave?

Hey, it's me.

Who is this? Matt?

Do me a favor, will you?

Cook me up some of that sh*t.

I'm coming over right now.

- Hey, you got something to say to me?

- I didn't say nothing to you.

Keep your f***ing mouth shut.

Yeah.

So, Jay said something

about some steroid score.

- Oh, yeah. Yeah, I got these guys, right?

- F*** me.

- They got a lot of money.

- Yeah?

- A lot of money.

- What's the deal?

I'll set them up.

- Hey, they got a lot of money, you know.

- Okay.

Yeah.

- I think one of them is rich.

- Okay, dude.

What the f***. Who's that?

- Who is it?

- Get away from me.

- Hey, how much money am I gonna get?

- Come on, man. Get off of me for a second.

You guys are gonna take care of

me with some of that money, right?

Matt, Matt, shut the f*** up.

- I just wanna know how much I'm gonna get.

- Matt, shut the f*** up!

- Matt, what the f***'s going on? Huh?

- Nothing.

How many times did

I f***ing tell you?

- Brian.

- What?

This is my house. It's

3:
00 in the morning.

- Come on.

- You're right. You're right. Sorry, Jay.

I'm sorry.

How many times did I

f***ing tell you, Matt?

No one in the f***ing house! Clean

the f*** up, you f***ing clown!

Thanks, Charlie.

Look, one thing you gotta do is make sure

that he brings the money inside, all right?

Insist on that. Tell him that the steroids

are in the cellar in a cooler. All right?

Once he comes in, we'll take care

of the rest, all right? Right?

Yeah.

All right. What time are

you supposed to meet him?

2:
00 on Thursday.

2:
00. All right, at 2:30, we'll be in the

back at the sandwich counter, all right?

See you later, guys.

What happened to

you last night?

Nothing. I had to do

some stuff with Stacy.

We gotta be sharp on this.

Naturally.

- Hey, Matt.

- Yo, hey. Paulie.

- Hey, what's up.

- Yeah, good, good.

- How's everything going?

- Yeah, good. You want a seat?

- You want a sandwich or something?

- No, I think I'm okay.

- Well, you got the money?

- Yeah, do you have the juice?

Yeah, it's in the freezer.

Have a seat. Now, seriously...

- What, you want something?

- No, man, I'm okay. Why don't we...
