[big horn]
Can Mary Fry

I'm as hungry as can be.
[semi truck sounds]
Oh, lordy how I wish
mama, you could keep the
baby quiet because
my head's killing me.
I seen my ex
last night, mama
at a dance at Miller store.
She was with that
Jackie White mama
I killed them both
and they're buried
under Jenkins sycamore
How's the egg Salad Slick?
I don't like egg salad.
Well, Why'd you order it then?
I don't know. It's like, uh,
when you remember
something good,
but you actually forgot
that you never liked
it in the first place,
or something was good,
but it was really bad.
You ever done that?
No.
Long day.
Yeah. The longest,
hamster on a wheel.
The world's a hell.
What does it matter
what happens in it?
Did you write that?
Stole it? You a
lawyer or something?
No. I construct things.
What Kind of things?
Places to live, exist.
Hmm. Married?
It's my wife's birthday.
I gotta go.
Well, that's sweet.
What's stopping you?
I'm on my way.
Home is where the heart is.
Follow the red bird
straight on till morning.
Finished?
I get a break in five.
I'll give you a hand job in
the parking lot for 20 bucks.
[semi trucks running]
This your car.
It's a rental
Mind if I finish?
No, don't smoke. It'll kill you.
So will a hole in your head
Who puts a hole
in their own head?
Another nail in the old coffin.
So tell me slick,
what's the skinny?
Out on the town?
I'm going home. It's
my wife's birthday.
Home is where the heart
is. That's the truth.
Oh. I really need to get going.
There's a waitress
coming out here
to gimme a $20 hand job.
Whoa! There's trouble.
Why are you...
Dressed like a clown?
I work at a funeral
home and the owner
thought it would
lighten the mood.
You know, funny.
Well, I really
need to get going.
Miles to burn.
Yeah.
Miles to burn...
Catch you later.
Hand Job's on me slick.
Boop.
And I'm as nervous
as can be mama
[hand job sound]
Let me tell
bout' last night.
This ain't working slick.
I've gotta get going anyway.
I don't want to be late.
Wishing both of us was dead.
You think I'm psycho,
don't you mama?
I just killed Johnny's pup.
You think I'm psycho don't you
mamma. You better
let em' lock me up.
[ominous music]
My gift to you is caution
in the way of man.
Beware of Prince Asmodeus
Refuse his colorful gifts.
The white of
religious witness and
The red of war.
The black...
of famine.
And the paleness of pestilence.
It's my last gift and
I give it freely.
Beware.
$20 bought my passage
to the eternal
feast, in Gehenna.
You, him?
You, him, you the,
uh, drill man?
Hey, roll down the window.
What are you fucking retarded?
Fucking...
You him?
You the drill man?
How'd you know?
A little red birdie told me.
He talks to Little Red Birds?
The guy's fucking with me now.
You coming or what?
Oh, it's my wife's birthday.
Will I be home in time?
Oh I'm sure you will.
Well then I'm going
straight on till morning.
Sorry for getting you
up at short notice,
but, this is a really big score.
I mean, the boss
said we don't even
need a plan for this one.
I mean, you are the man,
right? You are the drill man.
How long you been drilling for?
Piss poor planning yields
piss poor performance.
Ain't that right Drill man?
So ah, don't jinx
something, alright?
I don't believe in jinx.
What do you mean you
don't believe in jinx?
You don't believe in jinx, or
you don't believe that
this case warrants the fact
that it could be jinxed?
Just jinx. It's plural.
What?
Hey drill man. You believe
in Jinx, don't you?
It jinxes, by the way,
I mean your English skills are
fucking like atrocious. Really.
You're pissing me
off by the way.
Well, fuck you very
much. We went to
the same junior
High School asshole.
And I know how to
fucking conjugate shit.
Oh my God.
[drilling]
[fingers snapping]
There she is. First
National Bank.
We're robbing a bank?
Don't worry drill man.
You are the drill man, right?
Look, Chink's got you set
up down there. Alright.
This is why I love small towns.
Tony: The Lassiter 4500
is in the basement.
Now it'll drill through two feet
of solid concrete under
an hour in stealth mode.
We only need you
to go 12 inches.
Chink got everything
you asked for.
Time to get to work.
Drill man.
Okay. You're telling me that
the government invented public
schools to keep people poor?
[snap]
No.
What do you mean no?
No. Napoleon invented
public schools.
Politicians just
wanna be reelected.
Get the fuck outa here.
Napoleon did not
invent public schools.
Asshole!
Name a better way to control
people than to direct
the flow of information
they have access to,
thereby framing their
thought process.
Okay. Now you're saying
that the government is
inventing public schools
to brainwash kids.
That's what you're saying to me.
Don't they? I mean, you really
think Columbus
discovered America?
There's a fucking
day named after
him. Of course,
Columbus invented-
Goverment pandering
to Italian Americans.
Amerigo Vespucci
discovered America.
Hey, what do you think?
You think your whole
life's bullshit?
Oh, whatever.
So whatever, whatever.
Whatever, what fucking whatever.
Come on. What time is?
Time to go.
Chink's up there, right
there waiting for you.
You're really stupid. Know that?
Why do you think they
call it America idiot?
Get the fuck outta
here with you.
[omninous music]
Are you the drill man?
I'm Chink. I've got
your stuff over here.
Lassiter 4500, clamps and stand.
The 4500 comes
with stealth mode.
So everything like
what you asked for.
I asked for this?
Some people would kill
themselves to get hold of this.
I'll let you get to it.
Should I do it?
Sure. Beautiful.
This is your world and
you're the drill man.
[insect walking]
Roach: Hey slick.
You should understand what
you're doing before you use it.
Safety first.
[office sounds]
Are you sleeping?
Actually, I've been having a
bit of a sleeping problem Bob.
You've been putting
in some serious hours.
The old man ought to be ashamed.
I agree Bob he should.
Gotta get your rest before
you give it to the wife.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah!
[uncomfortable laughter]
Uh, actually, like I said,
I've been having a bit
of trouble sleeping.
Boy, it is hot down here.
Yeah. Yeah. I should turn
the temperature down.
Well catch you later Slick.
What the fuck, Chuck?
What the fuck what?
We're on a schedule you know?
X marks the spot.
Yeah! Drill that sweet bitch.
Let's see what's inside.
[machine grinding]
How's it going?
Bits keep breaking.
Well, you are the
fucking drill man.
Roach: Decrease the pressure
and increase the velocity Slick.
Are you sure?
Roach: Are you?
Are you or are you
not the drill man?
I'm not sure.
Nice hole.
Come on. We're on a schedule.
Chink: Once a year, they collect
the money to go back to the mint
to be replaced by new money.
An armored car drives nonstop
from Philly to Detroit
to Cleveland or wherever.
Supposed to be nonstop. But
the boss knows a guy who knows
a guy who knows.
You know, the guy
who knows, knows
who took care of
the armored car.
You know how? Do you
know? Do you know?
I don't know.
Sugar!
Yeah, sugar. Millions of bucks
and they broke the truck by
putting sugar in the tank.
The concussion
set off the alarm,
but it resets in a
couple of minutes.
You gotta love
these small towns.
[insect sounds]
Let's go.
Hey, thanks.
Roach: Don't mention it.
Seriously. Don't mention it.
They'll think you're
fucking crazy.
Hard to kill a roach.
Roach: They just keep
going and going and going
and going and going...
I love small towns.
Gotta love 'em.
True economic backbone
of our society.
Stop with the bull shit. Stop
it. I don't want to hear you.
Shit. Hey, drill man.
Are you sure you're
not retarded?
It's your choice
to get in this car,
but either way, it's going
where it always goes.
Got it slick?
Men blaspheme in matters
they don't understand.
Beasts. Creatures of
instinct born only
to be caught and
destroyed. And like beasts.
They will perish.
But not by chance.
By choice. Always choice.
Our choice.
My choice.
I hate egg salad.
How was your day?
Long. The longest.
Every day seems so long.
What's for dinner?
Sandwich night, egg salad.
Did you fix the door?
My birthday's tomorrow. I wanna
go to the city. Don't be late.
I won't be late.
I'm not spending my birthday in
this ridiculous
small town again.
I said I won't be late.
The door still needs fixing.
The screws are stripped.
Drill new holes.
I'll get on it.
That's what you said last week.
I've been putting in a lot
of extra hours at work.
They wanna make me partner.
A real man takes
care of his home too.
I am doing my best!
It's not good enough!
[drilling sound]
Fix the door.
I've told you over and over
and over.
[drilling sound gets louder]
[door creaks]
[elevator music]
You remember the job
we did in Poughkeepsie?
Freaking security guard
tries to take us down
with a screwdriver.
What's he going to
do? Screw us to death?
Remember the job in Dayton?
Liverwurst.
Oh man.
Is this um, is this
gonna take long?
My my wife's birthday.
I don't wanna be late.
What can I get you to drink?
Coffee.
Coffee.
You uh, you got any tea?
Just Lipton?
No Earl Gray?
No.
No chamomile?
No.
No spicy Chi?
Just Lipton.
Coffee.
Okay. And you?
You don't recognize me?
No. What can I get you to drink?
I know you.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Well, where do you know me from?
Truck stop.
What's that supposed to mean?
I never worked no truck stop.
Oh, nothing. Nothing.
Just that we've met.
Well, you're saying an awful
lot for saying nothing.
Oh, I had an egg salad sandwich.
Okay.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I don't know you.
No wait.
You gave me a hand job for $20.
Oh, well now I'm
certain we haven't met.
I would've charged you 40.
Oh, you are a wild man.
This is, this is classic.
I mean, only in a
small town, right?
You gotta love them.
What's the rush Slick?
I don't want my
wife to be angry.
What? You've been messing
up at home. Wild man.
No, I've got a door
that needs fixing
Then fix it.
I haven't had the time.
You got the time
to rob a bank, but
you don't have to
fix a fuckin' door.
I'm gonna use the facilities.
Oh, I'm sure you do.
[knock knock]
We need to go. Boss
needs to see you.
[Cowboy musac]
Sorry 'bout that partner.
In a hurry?
Uhhuh. Yes.
But you haven't finished
your sandwich yet.
Gotta keep up your
strength cow poke.
Do you mind?
That is a good sandwich.
I've got a birthday to go to.
But we haven't been
properly introduced.
I'm Skinny Bill on
account, I got a big cock.
Just joshin' you. It's
'cause I'm skinny.
Do you have a name?
Catch you later partner.
See, that's why
small town security
is just some of the worst.
What? The fact that you could
get a hand job from redhead.
Well, I didn't.
Probably a cock tease.
Nothing worse than a cock
tease. Wouldn't you think?
Yeah. Oh, you sure are sweet.
Oh slick. You must have
been a beautiful baby.
I'm so sorry the
time's been so cruel.
Have you ever satisfied a woman?
Let's get started now.
Come on, let's have
a little talk here.
Irregardless small
town security-
No no. It's just regardless.
Look, I said what I said.
I heard what you said.
Irregardless is a redundancy.
What you need to
say is regardless.
Same thing. You're saying
the same fuckin' thing
over and over.
Tony: Lou, you're really
starting to piss me off, man.
I'm sorry, there's someone's
fuckin' in the back.
Shut up!
I gotta go home.
Lou: Hey, you're coming with us.
The boss wants to
see you, so knock
it off back there.
The two of you.
Shut up!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We got company.
Alright, everybody be cool.
Stop fuckin', we're good. Relax.
Pull the fuck over. We're fine.
Just stay cool.
[footsteps]
Howdy there partners.
Out for a ride?
Can we help you with
something Officer?
You can call me Skinny
Bill on the count I-
Well, stripe my shirt
and call me a jailbird.
If this ain't a co-winky dink.
What was your name again?
Uh, a officer with due respect.
I mean, we got places
to go, you know?
Yeah? Where's that?
Did we do something
wrong Officer?
Your inspection sticker is out.
You saw that from all
the way back there?
I got real good eyesight.
Must eat a lot of carrots.
You know that there's a myth.
Carrots aren't
actually any better
for your eyesight than any
other fruits or vegetables.
Not to dissuade you from
having a balanced diet,
which should include
fruits and vegetables.
Sorry about the inspection.
One more thing though.
I'm gonna need you to
pop your trunk for me.
I'm just joshin' ya.
We like to greet all
of our visitors in person.
Make them feel
real welcome like.
Well, officer, we
feel real welcome now.
Good. Irregardless though
I'm gonna need you to take
care of that inspection though.
Will do officer.
Catch you later.
Get along now little doggies.
[footsteps]
Irregardless. See
how fucking stupid
he sounds. Irregardless.
Regardless. Irregardless
doesn't mean anything.
Stop fucking laughing.
Let's go. God dammit.
[1920's music]
Hey. He's really
happy with your work.
Lou or the boss?
Lou or the boss what?
Is happy with my work.
The boss.
Lou's not happy with my work?
No. I mean, yeah. Lou too.
Lou is too?
Yeah. Lou too.
Okay. Boss will be
out in a minute.
Ah, I'm gonna split before
Mrs. Boss gets here.
Damn Chink still?
Yeah, she gives me
a hard on, okay.
You're gonna love her Slick.
Are you the drill man?
Do you do a lot of drilling?
I have recently.
Maybe you could show me.
Show you what?
How to drill.
Well, I don't know much...
but the Lassiter 4500
in stealth mode does the trick.
At least up to 12 inches.
Boys.
I'm absolutely ravenous.
You look so familiar to me.
I should.
I'm desire.
See you later drill man.
You are a wild man.
Okay. Let's eat.
Good evening, gentlemen.
Eat. Shall we.
So my friend, I hear you
are an exceptional skill.
You'll be compensated well.
Thank you.
But the roach deserves
most of the credit.
Of course it does.
They're very hard to kill.
That's what he said.
Where did you first
start drilling?
At home?
I Think. I think.
At home.
Lovely. Just lovely.
To be good at something.
It starts at home.
You have to be committed
through flesh and bone.
And then, and then the guy says,
you gave me a hand
job for 20 bucks.
Tony: Small towns.
Lou: I mean, you
gotta love them.
I hope you appreciate
my hospitality.
I do. Very much.
It doesn't look like you're
appreciating it very much.
Egg salad. I'm told
it's your favorite.
It's what you deserve.
Hey, I understand that
you're happy with my work.
And Lou is too.
La Concours.
That means a game.
It means a contest. It's French.
Name three famous princes. Go.
Uh, prince of Wales.
One.
The artist, Prince, the singer.
Two.
Desiree: The Prince of Darkness.
I'm proud of you all,
but I believe it's my
lovely bride for the win.
Metonyms.
That means synonyms.
Go.
Mephistopheles.
Beelzebub.
Bael.
Diablo.
Lucifer.
Satan.
The devil?
Stop.
I believe we have a winner.
Elegant in its
shallow obviousness.
A feast fit for a prince.
I'm really tired.
Yeah, because you've
been really busy.
A wild man.
Perhaps then
entertainment fit for a prince.
[Arabic music]
Now. It's off to bed
early to rise, for killers.
Kill and liars lie.
But don't despair
if you're not there
because killers only
lie about killing.
Nighty-night.
Sleep tight. What's
inside my mind tonight?
I guess...
Yes?
I don't know.
Oh, but you do. You've seen it.
Farewell all.
I will speak to you
alone, mono-y-mono.
Just before daybreak.
I've got a birthday to go to.
It's a sleepover
at the boss' house.
Don't fuck this up.
I don't want to be late.
Yeah wild man,
don't fuck this up.
Hear me. And be eager.
And make your election sure.
Deny the gifts.
The cost is not worth
the season of reward.
If you do this
You'll never fall.
Never.
Boss: It's as if angels
are shedding their wings.
Do you know me?
You're the boss.
Who are you?
What is this place?
This is the third reality.
There's what you know.
What you think,
And the dialectical
unity where the absolute
and relative join together.
The place you fear the most
and yet secretly wish for.
I don't understand
anything you're saying.
I know. Your ignorance
and pain feed the
many who hunger for it.
[office sounds]
Hey slick. What gives?
Uh, the Simpson account.
Strong presentation. Good lines.
Gives the illusional movement.
Yeah. I think so.
Old man wants to make
your partner, huh?
Must be a lot of
pressure. Yeah. Put 'em up
put 'em off.
Bob, Bob, Bob, I just, uh, you
know, just try to do my best.
I try to see what's really here.
Use it.
With this. The GE
building and the condos.
I'd say you've been putting
in some serious hours.
You're a shoe in
for the partnership.
Yeah. Serious hours indeed Bob.
The old man ought to be
ashamed working you so hard.
You know, you have a
pretty little wife at home?
I need to spend
more time with her.
I've seen her hubba-hubba. Yeah.
Anyway. He ought to be ashamed.
Yeah. Ashamed. Yeah.
Women can't live with 'em
and you can't, you know.
You ever wonder what's
inside their head?
Deep inside their
thin little skulls.
Bob I -
It'll be over soon. You'll see.
And you can just do
it all over again.
Over and over and over and over
and over, and over.
Don't you know who I am?
You're a prince.
Yes, my son and my
bride is Desiree.
What do you desire?
What do you really want?
Peace and quiet
just for a moment.
A single moment.
A single moment.
Thy will be done.
[eratic music]
My birthday's tomorrow.
You've been putting
in some serious hours.
The old man should be ashamed.
The door still needs fix. Real
man takes care of his home too.
I'm doing my best.
It isn't good enough!
Fix the door!
I told you over
and over and over!
The Ferryman requires payment.
Women are all
basically the same.
They want what they want
and we should give
them what they want.
That's how we get what
we want. You follow me?
Don't move your head.
And people are stupid.
You don't get smart until
you get about my age.
Then you don't give a
crap. You follow me?
I said don't move your
head. You want to shave?
Yes, please.
Stupid people are stupid.
I know this guy owns a deli
up the street. He gets robbed.
The thief wants the cash in
the drawer. He gives it to him.
But the thief gets
mad. Says, is this it?
Yeah. So he tied him up
and he worked the whole
day behind the counter
putting the money in his
pocket until the cops came.
But that's not the
stupid part. No.
The customers liked him so
much. The owner hired him.
Stupid fucking people.
So are you married?
Don't move your head.
Give her what she wants.
And don't be stupid.
Do you follow?
Don't move your head!
You gotta know what's inside
that head. Do you understand?
Is your salvation
secure brother?
I don't know. I'm late.
Never too late. For he
who acknowledges the Son
of Man publicly, will
be acknowledged by Him
before the angels. Do not
let eternity be stolen
by the Prince of Darkness.
I know seven different
names for him.
Impressive. I am Parson
Brown, the purveyor
of salvation. For
a small donation
I can assure you, brother,
I can assure your ascension
to the most high place.
No guarantees,
contract devoid where
prohibited. Of course.
Of course.
Or... the great black deep,
where the worm does not die
and the fire casts no light.
You should hang on to that.
I will pray for you brother.
If it is not too late.
The promised land is
only promise to those
who seek His name
and obey His Word.
Diane?
Hiya slick. You made it home.
Where's my wife?
That there's the $64,000
question now, ain't it?
[1950's upbeat music]
Diane.
Where's my dinner?
Oh you.
It's sandwich night.
You know, egg salad.
Oh, I hate egg salad.
And I hate that
darn broken door.
Oh, one of these days,
Diane. One of these days.
One of these days
what? You gonna put a
hole through my head?
[drilling sound]
Fuck your fucking door.
Did I...?
Afraid so.
Now, how about we
mosey on downtown
and take care of some paperwork?
I don't want to work anymore.
I am up for a partner.
Did you know I'm up
for a partner? But
I don't want it.
Why do I have to be a
partner to be a success?
I'm so tired of you
told what to do.
I have a pretty
little wife at home.
I understand.
But you've gotta pay the
wages for certain sin.
That there's a facts of life.
I've gotta, I've
gotta fix the door.
I've gotta fix that goddamn
door. Or she'll keep asking me.
I just want some
peace and quiet.
You calling me
out there partner.
I am the drill man.
Well then, there's
only one thing to do.
[drill sound]
I am the Ferryman
and you are the fair.
[drilling sound]
[drill cracking bone]
[screaming]
Some men are like
springs without water.
Some are like mist driven
by a storm, mouthing
empty words.
I was deceived. But it is
I who have become slave
to my own deception.
For a man is slave to
whatever has mastered him.
And the blackest of darkness
is reserved for such as these.
[big horn]
Can Mary Fry
some fish? Mama.
I'm as hungry as can be.
Oh, Lordy. How I wish Mama.
You could keep the baby quiet
because my head's killing me.
I seen my ex
last night, mama
at a dance at Miller store.
She was with that
Jackie White mama.
I killed them
both. And they're
buried under Jenkins sycamore.
Don't you think
I'm psyco mama.
You can pour me a cup
if you think
I'm psycho mama.
Better let 'em lock me up.
Don't hand the
dog to me, mama.
I might squeeze
him too tight
and I'm as nervous
as can be, mama.
But let me tell you
bout' last night.
I woke up in
Johnny's room, mama
standing right by his bed
with my hands near
his throat, mama
wishing both of us was dead.
You think I'm psycho
don't you mama?
I just killed Jonny's pup.
You think I'm psycho
don't you mama.
You better let
'em lock me up.
You know the little
girl next door, mama.
I think her name
is Betty Clark.
Oh, don't tell me that
she's dead, Mama. Why?
I just seen her in the park.
She was sitting
on a bench mama
thinking of a game to play.
Seems I was holding
a wrench, mama.
Then my mind walked away.
You think I'm psycho,
don't you, Mama?
Didn't mean to
break your cup.
You think I'm psycho
don't you mama.
Mama, mama.
Why don't you get up? Say
something to me. Mama.
Mama. Why don't you get up?
Can Mary Fry
some fish, mama?
I'm as hungry as can be.
[semi truck sounds]
Oh, lordy how I wish
mama, you could keep the
baby quiet because
my head's killing me.
I seen my ex
last night, mama
at a dance at Miller store.
She was with that
Jackie White mama
I killed them both
and they're buried
under Jenkins sycamore
How's the egg Salad Slick?
I don't like egg salad.
Well, Why'd you order it then?
I don't know. It's like, uh,
when you remember
something good,
but you actually forgot
that you never liked
it in the first place,
or something was good,
but it was really bad.
You ever done that?
No.
Long day.
Yeah. The longest,
hamster on a wheel.
The world's a hell.
What does it matter
what happens in it?
Did you write that?
Stole it? You a
lawyer or something?
No. I construct things.
What Kind of things?
Places to live, exist.
Hmm. Married?
It's my wife's birthday.
I gotta go.
Well, that's sweet.
What's stopping you?
I'm on my way.
Home is where the heart is.
Follow the red bird
straight on till morning.
Finished?
I get a break in five.
I'll give you a hand job in
the parking lot for 20 bucks.
[semi trucks running]
This your car.
It's a rental
Mind if I finish?
No, don't smoke. It'll kill you.
So will a hole in your head
Who puts a hole
in their own head?
Another nail in the old coffin.
So tell me slick,
what's the skinny?
Out on the town?
I'm going home. It's
my wife's birthday.
Home is where the heart
is. That's the truth.
Oh. I really need to get going.
There's a waitress
coming out here
to gimme a $20 hand job.
Whoa! There's trouble.
Why are you...
Dressed like a clown?
I work at a funeral
home and the owner
thought it would
lighten the mood.
You know, funny.
Well, I really
need to get going.
Miles to burn.
Yeah.
Miles to burn...
Catch you later.
Hand Job's on me slick.
Boop.
And I'm as nervous
as can be mama
[hand job sound]
Let me tell
bout' last night.
This ain't working slick.
I've gotta get going anyway.
I don't want to be late.
Wishing both of us was dead.
You think I'm psycho,
don't you mama?
I just killed Johnny's pup.
You think I'm psycho don't you
mamma. You better
let em' lock me up.
[ominous music]
My gift to you is caution
in the way of man.
Beware of Prince Asmodeus
Refuse his colorful gifts.
The white of
religious witness and
The red of war.
The black...
of famine.
And the paleness of pestilence.
It's my last gift and
I give it freely.
Beware.
$20 bought my passage
to the eternal
feast, in Gehenna.
You, him?
You, him, you the,
uh, drill man?
Hey, roll down the window.
What are you fucking retarded?
Fucking...
You him?
You the drill man?
How'd you know?
A little red birdie told me.
He talks to Little Red Birds?
The guy's fucking with me now.
You coming or what?
Oh, it's my wife's birthday.
Will I be home in time?
Oh I'm sure you will.
Well then I'm going
straight on till morning.
Sorry for getting you
up at short notice,
but, this is a really big score.
I mean, the boss
said we don't even
need a plan for this one.
I mean, you are the man,
right? You are the drill man.
How long you been drilling for?
Piss poor planning yields
piss poor performance.
Ain't that right Drill man?
So ah, don't jinx
something, alright?
I don't believe in jinx.
What do you mean you
don't believe in jinx?
You don't believe in jinx, or
you don't believe that
this case warrants the fact
that it could be jinxed?
Just jinx. It's plural.
What?
Hey drill man. You believe
in Jinx, don't you?
It jinxes, by the way,
I mean your English skills are
fucking like atrocious. Really.
You're pissing me
off by the way.
Well, fuck you very
much. We went to
the same junior
High School asshole.
And I know how to
fucking conjugate shit.
Oh my God.
[drilling]
[fingers snapping]
There she is. First
National Bank.
We're robbing a bank?
Don't worry drill man.
You are the drill man, right?
Look, Chink's got you set
up down there. Alright.
This is why I love small towns.
Tony: The Lassiter 4500
is in the basement.
Now it'll drill through two feet
of solid concrete under
an hour in stealth mode.
We only need you
to go 12 inches.
Chink got everything
you asked for.
Time to get to work.
Drill man.
Okay. You're telling me that
the government invented public
schools to keep people poor?
[snap]
No.
What do you mean no?
No. Napoleon invented
public schools.
Politicians just
wanna be reelected.
Get the fuck outa here.
Napoleon did not
invent public schools.
Asshole!
Name a better way to control
people than to direct
the flow of information
they have access to,
thereby framing their
thought process.
Okay. Now you're saying
that the government is
inventing public schools
to brainwash kids.
That's what you're saying to me.
Don't they? I mean, you really
think Columbus
discovered America?
There's a fucking
day named after
him. Of course,
Columbus invented-
Goverment pandering
to Italian Americans.
Amerigo Vespucci
discovered America.
Hey, what do you think?
You think your whole
life's bullshit?
Oh, whatever.
So whatever, whatever.
Whatever, what fucking whatever.
Come on. What time is?
Time to go.
Chink's up there, right
there waiting for you.
You're really stupid. Know that?
Why do you think they
call it America idiot?
Get the fuck outta
here with you.
[omninous music]
Are you the drill man?
I'm Chink. I've got
your stuff over here.
Lassiter 4500, clamps and stand.
The 4500 comes
with stealth mode.
So everything like
what you asked for.
I asked for this?
Some people would kill
themselves to get hold of this.
I'll let you get to it.
Should I do it?
Sure. Beautiful.
This is your world and
you're the drill man.
[insect walking]
Roach: Hey slick.
You should understand what
you're doing before you use it.
Safety first.
[office sounds]
Are you sleeping?
Actually, I've been having a
bit of a sleeping problem Bob.
You've been putting
in some serious hours.
The old man ought to be ashamed.
I agree Bob he should.
Gotta get your rest before
you give it to the wife.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah!
[uncomfortable laughter]
Uh, actually, like I said,
I've been having a bit
of trouble sleeping.
Boy, it is hot down here.
Yeah. Yeah. I should turn
the temperature down.
Well catch you later Slick.
What the fuck, Chuck?
What the fuck what?
We're on a schedule you know?
X marks the spot.
Yeah! Drill that sweet bitch.
Let's see what's inside.
[machine grinding]
How's it going?
Bits keep breaking.
Well, you are the
fucking drill man.
Roach: Decrease the pressure
and increase the velocity Slick.
Are you sure?
Roach: Are you?
Are you or are you
not the drill man?
I'm not sure.
Nice hole.
Come on. We're on a schedule.
Chink: Once a year, they collect
the money to go back to the mint
to be replaced by new money.
An armored car drives nonstop
from Philly to Detroit
to Cleveland or wherever.
Supposed to be nonstop. But
the boss knows a guy who knows
a guy who knows.
You know, the guy
who knows, knows
who took care of
the armored car.
You know how? Do you
know? Do you know?
I don't know.
Sugar!
Yeah, sugar. Millions of bucks
and they broke the truck by
putting sugar in the tank.
The concussion
set off the alarm,
but it resets in a
couple of minutes.
You gotta love
these small towns.
[insect sounds]
Let's go.
Hey, thanks.
Roach: Don't mention it.
Seriously. Don't mention it.
They'll think you're
fucking crazy.
Hard to kill a roach.
Roach: They just keep
going and going and going
and going and going...
I love small towns.
Gotta love 'em.
True economic backbone
of our society.
Stop with the bull shit. Stop
it. I don't want to hear you.
Shit. Hey, drill man.
Are you sure you're
not retarded?
It's your choice
to get in this car,
but either way, it's going
where it always goes.
Got it slick?
Men blaspheme in matters
they don't understand.
Beasts. Creatures of
instinct born only
to be caught and
destroyed. And like beasts.
They will perish.
But not by chance.
By choice. Always choice.
Our choice.
My choice.
I hate egg salad.
How was your day?
Long. The longest.
Every day seems so long.
What's for dinner?
Sandwich night, egg salad.
Did you fix the door?
My birthday's tomorrow. I wanna
go to the city. Don't be late.
I won't be late.
I'm not spending my birthday in
this ridiculous
small town again.
I said I won't be late.
The door still needs fixing.
The screws are stripped.
Drill new holes.
I'll get on it.
That's what you said last week.
I've been putting in a lot
of extra hours at work.
They wanna make me partner.
A real man takes
care of his home too.
I am doing my best!
It's not good enough!
[drilling sound]
Fix the door.
I've told you over and over
and over.
[drilling sound gets louder]
[door creaks]
[elevator music]
You remember the job
we did in Poughkeepsie?
Freaking security guard
tries to take us down
with a screwdriver.
What's he going to
do? Screw us to death?
Remember the job in Dayton?
Liverwurst.
Oh man.
Is this um, is this
gonna take long?
My my wife's birthday.
I don't wanna be late.
What can I get you to drink?
Coffee.
Coffee.
You uh, you got any tea?
Just Lipton?
No Earl Gray?
No.
No chamomile?
No.
No spicy Chi?
Just Lipton.
Coffee.
Okay. And you?
You don't recognize me?
No. What can I get you to drink?
I know you.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Well, where do you know me from?
Truck stop.
What's that supposed to mean?
I never worked no truck stop.
Oh, nothing. Nothing.
Just that we've met.
Well, you're saying an awful
lot for saying nothing.
Oh, I had an egg salad sandwich.
Okay.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I don't know you.
No wait.
You gave me a hand job for $20.
Oh, well now I'm
certain we haven't met.
I would've charged you 40.
Oh, you are a wild man.
This is, this is classic.
I mean, only in a
small town, right?
You gotta love them.
What's the rush Slick?
I don't want my
wife to be angry.
What? You've been messing
up at home. Wild man.
No, I've got a door
that needs fixing
Then fix it.
I haven't had the time.
You got the time
to rob a bank, but
you don't have to
fix a fuckin' door.
I'm gonna use the facilities.
Oh, I'm sure you do.
[knock knock]
We need to go. Boss
needs to see you.
[Cowboy musac]
Sorry 'bout that partner.
In a hurry?
Uhhuh. Yes.
But you haven't finished
your sandwich yet.
Gotta keep up your
strength cow poke.
Do you mind?
That is a good sandwich.
I've got a birthday to go to.
But we haven't been
properly introduced.
I'm Skinny Bill on
account, I got a big cock.
Just joshin' you. It's
'cause I'm skinny.
Do you have a name?
Catch you later partner.
See, that's why
small town security
is just some of the worst.
What? The fact that you could
get a hand job from redhead.
Well, I didn't.
Probably a cock tease.
Nothing worse than a cock
tease. Wouldn't you think?
Yeah. Oh, you sure are sweet.
Oh slick. You must have
been a beautiful baby.
I'm so sorry the
time's been so cruel.
Have you ever satisfied a woman?
Let's get started now.
Come on, let's have
a little talk here.
Irregardless small
town security-
No no. It's just regardless.
Look, I said what I said.
I heard what you said.
Irregardless is a redundancy.
What you need to
say is regardless.
Same thing. You're saying
the same fuckin' thing
over and over.
Tony: Lou, you're really
starting to piss me off, man.
I'm sorry, there's someone's
fuckin' in the back.
Shut up!
I gotta go home.
Lou: Hey, you're coming with us.
The boss wants to
see you, so knock
it off back there.
The two of you.
Shut up!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We got company.
Alright, everybody be cool.
Stop fuckin', we're good. Relax.
Pull the fuck over. We're fine.
Just stay cool.
[footsteps]
Howdy there partners.
Out for a ride?
Can we help you with
something Officer?
You can call me Skinny
Bill on the count I-
Well, stripe my shirt
and call me a jailbird.
If this ain't a co-winky dink.
What was your name again?
Uh, a officer with due respect.
I mean, we got places
to go, you know?
Yeah? Where's that?
Did we do something
wrong Officer?
Your inspection sticker is out.
You saw that from all
the way back there?
I got real good eyesight.
Must eat a lot of carrots.
You know that there's a myth.
Carrots aren't
actually any better
for your eyesight than any
other fruits or vegetables.
Not to dissuade you from
having a balanced diet,
which should include
fruits and vegetables.
Sorry about the inspection.
One more thing though.
I'm gonna need you to
pop your trunk for me.
I'm just joshin' ya.
We like to greet all
of our visitors in person.
Make them feel
real welcome like.
Well, officer, we
feel real welcome now.
Good. Irregardless though
I'm gonna need you to take
care of that inspection though.
Will do officer.
Catch you later.
Get along now little doggies.
[footsteps]
Irregardless. See
how fucking stupid
he sounds. Irregardless.
Regardless. Irregardless
doesn't mean anything.
Stop fucking laughing.
Let's go. God dammit.
[1920's music]
Hey. He's really
happy with your work.
Lou or the boss?
Lou or the boss what?
Is happy with my work.
The boss.
Lou's not happy with my work?
No. I mean, yeah. Lou too.
Lou is too?
Yeah. Lou too.
Okay. Boss will be
out in a minute.
Ah, I'm gonna split before
Mrs. Boss gets here.
Damn Chink still?
Yeah, she gives me
a hard on, okay.
You're gonna love her Slick.
Are you the drill man?
Do you do a lot of drilling?
I have recently.
Maybe you could show me.
Show you what?
How to drill.
Well, I don't know much...
but the Lassiter 4500
in stealth mode does the trick.
At least up to 12 inches.
Boys.
I'm absolutely ravenous.
You look so familiar to me.
I should.
I'm desire.
See you later drill man.
You are a wild man.
Okay. Let's eat.
Good evening, gentlemen.
Eat. Shall we.
So my friend, I hear you
are an exceptional skill.
You'll be compensated well.
Thank you.
But the roach deserves
most of the credit.
Of course it does.
They're very hard to kill.
That's what he said.
Where did you first
start drilling?
At home?
I Think. I think.
At home.
Lovely. Just lovely.
To be good at something.
It starts at home.
You have to be committed
through flesh and bone.
And then, and then the guy says,
you gave me a hand
job for 20 bucks.
Tony: Small towns.
Lou: I mean, you
gotta love them.
I hope you appreciate
my hospitality.
I do. Very much.
It doesn't look like you're
appreciating it very much.
Egg salad. I'm told
it's your favorite.
It's what you deserve.
Hey, I understand that
you're happy with my work.
And Lou is too.
La Concours.
That means a game.
It means a contest. It's French.
Name three famous princes. Go.
Uh, prince of Wales.
One.
The artist, Prince, the singer.
Two.
Desiree: The Prince of Darkness.
I'm proud of you all,
but I believe it's my
lovely bride for the win.
Metonyms.
That means synonyms.
Go.
Mephistopheles.
Beelzebub.
Bael.
Diablo.
Lucifer.
Satan.
The devil?
Stop.
I believe we have a winner.
Elegant in its
shallow obviousness.
A feast fit for a prince.
I'm really tired.
Yeah, because you've
been really busy.
A wild man.
Perhaps then
entertainment fit for a prince.
[Arabic music]
Now. It's off to bed
early to rise, for killers.
Kill and liars lie.
But don't despair
if you're not there
because killers only
lie about killing.
Nighty-night.
Sleep tight. What's
inside my mind tonight?
I guess...
Yes?
I don't know.
Oh, but you do. You've seen it.
Farewell all.
I will speak to you
alone, mono-y-mono.
Just before daybreak.
I've got a birthday to go to.
It's a sleepover
at the boss' house.
Don't fuck this up.
I don't want to be late.
Yeah wild man,
don't fuck this up.
Hear me. And be eager.
And make your election sure.
Deny the gifts.
The cost is not worth
the season of reward.
If you do this
You'll never fall.
Never.
Boss: It's as if angels
are shedding their wings.
Do you know me?
You're the boss.
Who are you?
What is this place?
This is the third reality.
There's what you know.
What you think,
And the dialectical
unity where the absolute
and relative join together.
The place you fear the most
and yet secretly wish for.
I don't understand
anything you're saying.
I know. Your ignorance
and pain feed the
many who hunger for it.
[office sounds]
Hey slick. What gives?
Uh, the Simpson account.
Strong presentation. Good lines.
Gives the illusional movement.
Yeah. I think so.
Old man wants to make
your partner, huh?
Must be a lot of
pressure. Yeah. Put 'em up
put 'em off.
Bob, Bob, Bob, I just, uh, you
know, just try to do my best.
I try to see what's really here.
Use it.
With this. The GE
building and the condos.
I'd say you've been putting
in some serious hours.
You're a shoe in
for the partnership.
Yeah. Serious hours indeed Bob.
The old man ought to be
ashamed working you so hard.
You know, you have a
pretty little wife at home?
I need to spend
more time with her.
I've seen her hubba-hubba. Yeah.
Anyway. He ought to be ashamed.
Yeah. Ashamed. Yeah.
Women can't live with 'em
and you can't, you know.
You ever wonder what's
inside their head?
Deep inside their
thin little skulls.
Bob I -
It'll be over soon. You'll see.
And you can just do
it all over again.
Over and over and over and over
and over, and over.
Don't you know who I am?
You're a prince.
Yes, my son and my
bride is Desiree.
What do you desire?
What do you really want?
Peace and quiet
just for a moment.
A single moment.
A single moment.
Thy will be done.
[eratic music]
My birthday's tomorrow.
You've been putting
in some serious hours.
The old man should be ashamed.
The door still needs fix. Real
man takes care of his home too.
I'm doing my best.
It isn't good enough!
Fix the door!
I told you over
and over and over!
The Ferryman requires payment.
Women are all
basically the same.
They want what they want
and we should give
them what they want.
That's how we get what
we want. You follow me?
Don't move your head.
And people are stupid.
You don't get smart until
you get about my age.
Then you don't give a
crap. You follow me?
I said don't move your
head. You want to shave?
Yes, please.
Stupid people are stupid.
I know this guy owns a deli
up the street. He gets robbed.
The thief wants the cash in
the drawer. He gives it to him.
But the thief gets
mad. Says, is this it?
Yeah. So he tied him up
and he worked the whole
day behind the counter
putting the money in his
pocket until the cops came.
But that's not the
stupid part. No.
The customers liked him so
much. The owner hired him.
Stupid fucking people.
So are you married?
Don't move your head.
Give her what she wants.
And don't be stupid.
Do you follow?
Don't move your head!
You gotta know what's inside
that head. Do you understand?
Is your salvation
secure brother?
I don't know. I'm late.
Never too late. For he
who acknowledges the Son
of Man publicly, will
be acknowledged by Him
before the angels. Do not
let eternity be stolen
by the Prince of Darkness.
I know seven different
names for him.
Impressive. I am Parson
Brown, the purveyor
of salvation. For
a small donation
I can assure you, brother,
I can assure your ascension
to the most high place.
No guarantees,
contract devoid where
prohibited. Of course.
Of course.
Or... the great black deep,
where the worm does not die
and the fire casts no light.
You should hang on to that.
I will pray for you brother.
If it is not too late.
The promised land is
only promise to those
who seek His name
and obey His Word.
Diane?
Hiya slick. You made it home.
Where's my wife?
That there's the $64,000
question now, ain't it?
[1950's upbeat music]
Diane.
Where's my dinner?
Oh you.
It's sandwich night.
You know, egg salad.
Oh, I hate egg salad.
And I hate that
darn broken door.
Oh, one of these days,
Diane. One of these days.
One of these days
what? You gonna put a
hole through my head?
[drilling sound]
Fuck your fucking door.
Did I...?
Afraid so.
Now, how about we
mosey on downtown
and take care of some paperwork?
I don't want to work anymore.
I am up for a partner.
Did you know I'm up
for a partner? But
I don't want it.
Why do I have to be a
partner to be a success?
I'm so tired of you
told what to do.
I have a pretty
little wife at home.
I understand.
But you've gotta pay the
wages for certain sin.
That there's a facts of life.
I've gotta, I've
gotta fix the door.
I've gotta fix that goddamn
door. Or she'll keep asking me.
I just want some
peace and quiet.
You calling me
out there partner.
I am the drill man.
Well then, there's
only one thing to do.
[drill sound]
I am the Ferryman
and you are the fair.
[drilling sound]
[drill cracking bone]
[screaming]
Some men are like
springs without water.
Some are like mist driven
by a storm, mouthing
empty words.
I was deceived. But it is
I who have become slave
to my own deception.
For a man is slave to
whatever has mastered him.
And the blackest of darkness
is reserved for such as these.
[big horn]
Can Mary Fry
some fish? Mama.
I'm as hungry as can be.
Oh, Lordy. How I wish Mama.
You could keep the baby quiet
because my head's killing me.
I seen my ex
last night, mama
at a dance at Miller store.
She was with that
Jackie White mama.
I killed them
both. And they're
buried under Jenkins sycamore.
Don't you think
I'm psyco mama.
You can pour me a cup
if you think
I'm psycho mama.
Better let 'em lock me up.
Don't hand the
dog to me, mama.
I might squeeze
him too tight
and I'm as nervous
as can be, mama.
But let me tell you
bout' last night.
I woke up in
Johnny's room, mama
standing right by his bed
with my hands near
his throat, mama
wishing both of us was dead.
You think I'm psycho
don't you mama?
I just killed Jonny's pup.
You think I'm psycho
don't you mama.
You better let
'em lock me up.
You know the little
girl next door, mama.
I think her name
is Betty Clark.
Oh, don't tell me that
she's dead, Mama. Why?
I just seen her in the park.
She was sitting
on a bench mama
thinking of a game to play.
Seems I was holding
a wrench, mama.
Then my mind walked away.
You think I'm psycho,
don't you, Mama?
Didn't mean to
break your cup.
You think I'm psycho
don't you mama.
Mama, mama.
Why don't you get up? Say
something to me. Mama.
Mama. Why don't you get up?
