The world is full of complainers. But the fact is: nothing comes with a guarantee. I don't care if you're the Pope, President of the United States, Man of the Year. Something can all go wrong. Go ahead and complain, tell your problems to your neighbor, ask for help, and watch them fly. In Russia they map it out so that everyone pulls for everyone else. That's the theory anyway. But what I know about is Texas. And down here, you're on your own. He gave me a pearl-handled 38 for our first anniversary. Think I better leave before I use it on him. I don't understand how you can use it on him. I'm only an employee. I ain't married to him. It's just... I don't know. Sometimes I think something's wrong with him. Maybe he's sick? Mentally? Or is it maybe me, do you think? Listen, I ain't a marriage counselor. I don't know what goes on. And I don't wanna know. But I like you. I've always liked you. What're you gonna do in Houston? I'll figure something out. How come you offered to drive me in this mess? I told you I like you. I never knew that. Well, now you do. Hell! Stop the car, Ray! You know that car? No. What's the matter? I don't know. I just think maybe I'm making a mistake. What was that back there? Back where? That sign. I don't know. A motel. Did you mean what you said? Were you just being a gentleman? Abby, I like you. But there's no point starting anything now. I ain't a marriage counselor. What do you wanna do? What do you wanna do? Hello. - Having a good time? Who is this? - I don't know. Who is this? You still there? - Yeah, I'm still here. Who was it? Your husband. I know where you can get those framed. Why'd you take these? What d'you mean? Just doing my job. I knew they were there. Why'd you take 'em? I don't know. Call it a fringe benefit. How long were you watching them? Most of the night. They'd rest every few minutes and get started again. Quite something. You know, in Greece they'd cut the head off the messenger that brought bad news. Now that don't make much sense. No. It made them feel better. First off, Julian, I don't know what the story is in Greece, but in this state we got very definite laws about that. Second, I'm not a messenger, I'm a private investigator. And third, and most important, it ain't such bad news. I mean, you thought he was colored. You're always assuming the worst. Anything else? Don't come around here anymore. If I need you, I'll know what rock to turn over. That's good. "What rock to turn over..." Very good! Give me a call whenever you wanna cut off my head. I can always crawl around without it. We'll be back after a short intermission... Hold it! Where was I? You were telling me about the ring of fire. - Right. You got all these volcanoes, right? Now every time one goes pop, you got the equivalent of... ...20, 30 megatons of TNT. - Meurice! I know, Marty. Pour 'em short. Is Ray in yet? - No, it's his night off. Where was he last night? I don't wanna know where he was. Didn't he call? This is an old friend of mine, Debra. Debra, this is Julian Marty. Deuce in the corner needs help. - Right. How long you know Meurice? - About ten years. 10 years? What are you doing tonight? Going out with Meurice. Tell him you have a headache. He'll pass. We don't seem to be communicating... Look, you wanna hustle me? I don't wanna be hustled. - Oh, you don't? It's as simple as that. - Oh, as simple as that. I'm not here if they come, okay? - Right. Nice guy. - Not really. What's your last name? Good old boy. Let's get outta here. You get what you wanted? - Yeah. Let's get outta here. Drive me to a motel? - You can stay at my place. I'll drop you there. - Where you goin'? See a guy. Don't go to the bar. I know him. It ain't a good idea. I just gotta see a guy. So what's the deal? None if your colleagues could harness this volcanic ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Части тела на английском - текст Брат на английском - текст Северная сторона на английском - текст День Сурка на английском - текст Самолётом, поездом и автомобилем на английском |
