I'm sorry.

What happened?

[ Speaking french ]

Big debts. Debts.

Huge gambling debts.

Debts like you wouldn't believe.

I'm-- I'm--

I lost everything.

And I can't go home now.

You gotta tell your wife.

I can't.

I can't go and-- and face her

and tell her it's all gone.

She doesn't deserve that.

Well--

So y-y-you're sure

you can't help me?

You're not, uh--

I don't understand it.

Aren't you retired?

No.

I can't work.

How come?

Had an incident about six months ago.

I was drunk and...

crashed a plow into a Chicken King restaurant.

That was you!

[ Laughs ]

That was me.

Thirty days in jail, a fine.

Lost my license for three years.

I can't drive the plow.

It's how I make a living.

Can't drive a car.

I can't-- F***.

I can't even drive a lawn mower, so--

Okay.

Um--

Aw, sh*t.

Gigi, um--

My wallet's at home.

I'll get it

the next time. Okay?

I'm gonna dance, man.

[ Jukebox:
mid-tempo rock ]

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

[ Customers hooting, laughing ]

[ Continues ]

[ Continues, man singing in foreign language ]

[ Fades ]

[ Tapping ]

[ Paul's voice ]

Bruce, I wanna ask you something,

and I hate to ask this, but...

would you mind if I crash here again tonight?

You know, I-I--

I need to get my sh*t together, you see.

Mmm.

[ Spits ]

Mmm.

[ Engine idling ]

[ Grunts ]

Au revoir, f***er.

[ Grunting ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Groaning ]

Why did you do that?

Huh?

Peek-a-boo.

I see you, f***er.

[ Chuckles ]

A-B-C-D-E-F-G...

H-I-J-K-L...

M-N-O-P--

Mmm.

[ Grunts ]

[ Urinating ]

Oh.

Sorry, man.

Oh, no.

No worries, Bruce.

[ Sighs ]

[ Paul's voice ]

Why are you doing this?

I don't know.

Seriously.

Why am I being kept here?

[ Laughing ]

[ Bruce's voice ]

You have to understand something, Officer.

I didn't mean to...

kill Paul.

It was an accident.

Th-The truth be told,

uh, he was killing himself.

Yes. No, I-I-I stopped

an act of suicide.

I did. Oh, I did.

I was involved...

in his accidental death, yes.

But I wasn't the only one.

I wasn't the only one. No.

No, no, no.

No, you're not gonna

trick me with that. No.

No.

That was another party.

But, uh,

you'll just have to...

sort that--

sort that through.

Just out of curiosity, have you spoken...

with the individual?

Have you?

Oh, I think it'd be...

quite fruitful,

uh, for you to, uh, extend your investigation...

beyond--

I didn't do anything wrong.

[ Clanking, Banging ]

[ Banging, Clattering ]

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Nothing.

I was just looking.

No, I was just-- I was

just looking at the--

at things.

- Were you stealing?

- No.

No. Come on.

Come on.

No, I was just--

I was--

No, I--

No, I was just looking.
