Jesus, Charlie, what the hell happened? I got shot. By who? Oh, some guy. A guy? A guy like you, you mean? No, this one was different. Deluxe model. Beggars number one. Could be you're in over your head, Charlie. Was doing all right up until today. Rollo was doing all right. Until he wasn't. You don't get any ideas.

About stuffing me before I bleed to death. I wouldn't. No? Why not? I couldn't capture your essence. You can capture a raccoon's essence. You're an entirely different creature. Yeah, that's for sure. For God's sake, Shirley. You know, you really ought to start thinking about an exit plan. Place to retire.

Assuming you'll have a say in the matter.

I was thinking about buying one of these. They go for a dollar. Of course, you know, you have to promise they'll fix them up. But, you know, it's beautiful.

This one's in Umbria. I mean, you can find these all over Italy. How long you been looking? A couple of years. Well, what are you waiting for? For them to go down to 50 cents? It's a beautiful dream, Charlie. You ought to go for it. Yeah.

That's somewhere before was

It's funny Rollo's got a price on his head and it's running for his life still he calls his mama three times from the hotel

Wait, it isn't miz whores are us

Who the f**k are you? It's a friend of Rollo's Doesn't look like any friends any come by recently Claiming I entertain my son's friends here for a small fee? There's a shed out back. He uses it as his man cave. Don't you touch his s**t! Alright, where is it? What? The lockbox. Probably up your gaping asshole, Sunstealer.

That

ain't your property, you testicle sucker. What's in it, he promised to me. If he wanted you to have it, he'd have shoved it up your cooch. Lord knows it's big enough. Remember my wedding day, Mavis? You were running around with a Budweiser in one hand and your Uncle Fred's d**k in the other. July 29, 7, 2, 9.

What you expect to find in there? Fifty grand? In unmarked twenties and fifties? Where is it? You're looking at it.

Twenty five K each. Double disc. n*****s the size of silver dollars now.

I'm sorry about your 50k. Well, that was a long shot from the get go. At least your disc is still out there somewhere. Mine turned into a pair of double D's. Sure did. I should have slammed the door in his face the moment I saw him. You gotta wonder what's wrong with me that I didn't. It's hard to let go of hope.

You gotta learn to let go of a lot of things. Looks like the bus station is just a few blocks. You can, uh, drop me there. Yeah. What you gonna do? Survive. We can either make ourselves miserable or make ourselves stronger. The amount of work is the same.

You? Oh, I suppose I'll keep looking. What? I don't like loose ends. I hope they don't kill you before you find it then. Thank you. I appreciate the sentiment.

Oh no, I got it from here, Charlie. It's alone, okay? No, please don't. Marcy, just No, look, alone means you're gonna be coming back for me. And then I gotta wonder if you made it or not. And then I gotta hope you didn't change your mind. I can tell you right now that I'm Charlie, don't.

Yeah, it's just, just a couple blocks that way. Yeah.

Look, you got something you gotta do. And a lot can happen between then and now. Let's just leave it here, okay?

Don't you be in love with me, Charlie Swift. Too late. I

know where your thing is. Becca's bottle. Rollo's to manage it. Last thing he said to me was right under their noses. Alright, got it. Where is he, Ronnie? Where is that weasel? I know he's hiding here somewhere. Marcy. Where is he hiding? Um, Rolo? Marcy, Rolo's dead. You're a shitty liar. You always were. You back there, Rolo?

You pull a gun on me again and I'll shove it up your ass. Where are you hiding, you piece of s**t? You sleeping up there? Come on, I got bills to pay. Are you a coward?

You see that, Constaine? You tell him he better give me my 50 grand or I'll cut his d**k off. Wait, wait, what's the rush, Marcy? I think Beg is looking for you. f**k off! Why don't you hang tight while I give him a call. Let go, you d**k! Step away from the lady. I don't see no lady here. Look again. Whoa, hands now, hands, hands.

Nice and easy, there you go. You go back to the safe house. I'll disable this crew. Here, hold onto this for me.

Nice and easy. Up. Get your ass up. Back up. Into the bar. Down. Get on your knees. Get on your knees! Now, do any of you dumb f***s count to ten? Because that's how many rounds I have. Which means one of you might just get out of here alive. Only one who's gonna get deceased is you. I'd do you right here, let these f*****g clowns clean up the mess.

But beggar wants to feed you to the gators himself. Just you and him. Don't have a lot to chew on.

You exclusive to beggar?

No, sir.

Come on, Marcy. Come on.

This is Marcy Kramer, taxidermist. Please leave your message.

Yes, Marcy. Are you okay? You just won't die, will you? You're old dumping grounds. You got one hour before I shoot her in the head. Jesus. Stop right there! Put your

hands where I can see them. Always thought my life would end like this. From a bullet I didn't see coming. Shirt off! I just never thought I'd care. Only, I did care. I'm okay, Charlie. Don't worry.

Hands off! Come on, motherfucker! So I was going to have to pull off a magic trick, with nothing up my sleeve, or down my pants. Keep your hands up! Turn around, slow! Impossible, right? Hey, hey,

hey, take it easy. Fifteen seconds to give me that disc! Think again.

The next one's in her neck. Ten! I need to know she's okay.

What happened? b***h didn't come quietly when I asked her to. You okay? Just give him the disc. I was thinking about the houses, the fixer uppers in Italy. Why I didn't pull the trigger on one. I was waiting for someone to come with me. Well, didn't see the point in living that kind of dream all alone.
