allotments
to set up his business.
What, you...
You didn't hear me?
Yeah, l got it. I told you l got it.
Thanks for a big fat nothing. You just left.
Happy? Sure.
Sure I’m happy.
I’m Mrs. Joey Banana King...
and l look like an old lady.
You left. You just...
You stinking shit. You coward.
Sure, send the money and see the world.
Leave Annie here.
Leave me here in this goddamn
stinking slum, you bastard, you!
Please, Annie. Look...
Annie, please. Look, let me come over.
I don't want to see you!
You just get away.
You just stay away, and get out.
Oh, God.
You didn't ask about the kid, Francis.
I was going to.
So what is it, a boy or a girl?
Dead.
It's dead.
Never even got born, Francis,
'cause l was left alone.
Did you hear me, Francis?
Eight months. You know...
l slipped on the front steps in the snow.
I fell down them.
There was no one there to help me.
You know what l mean? I lost the kid.
It would have been a boy.
Never even got born.
Never got baptized.
You know what that means.
That soul cannot go to heaven.
That's what you did for your son's soul,
you bastard.
You sent it into limbo.
That soul cannot go to heaven.
- What is it?
- It's a boy!
That's great.
And what about Annie?
Annie got married. She's got a husband.
I don't feel l should go over there,
with the kid.
- I’ll mess things up.
- All right, good. That's great.
You're my best friend.
- It's all over now, right?
- All over.
Okay, you're a man now.
- God damn it, you're a man.
- Let's celebrate.
All right, we'll celebrate.
We'll make it fast.
I know a place across the river
called Bell Island.
Me and Annie used to go there.
We're gonna make it fast.
Okay, come on!
Going to read your fortunes. Hands out.
Who's first? Who's second?
Who's third? Who's fourth?
Okay, first you.
See what this thing says?
You're going to open a button factory.
And then you'll go crazy
and eat all the buttons.
But that'll be okay
because you won't have to buy any food...
'cause you're full with buttons.
He'll be a button man.
I know what to do
to keep your hands warm.
- Stick them up.
- Give me a button.
I’m the button man, all right.
Stick up your hands. Come here.
Put a peanut up your nose.
After you find the missing treasure...
you're going to...
sprout wings and fly.
Read my palm.
Want to see Treasure Island?
Max, come on.
Come over here. We'll do a bit together.
Want to see Treasure Island?
Come on, Max.
I’ll be Long John. You be little Jim.
Come on. Want to see it? I’m Long John.
Aye, aye. Aye, matey.
The wind looks a bit
to ruffle our sails, aye?
I don't want to do that.
Whatever you do, Jim boy...
keep your bloody hands off me bird.
Argue with me, you big dummy? Aye, aye.
I’m gonna cut me some young lads.
Where's me cutlass?
Where be me cutlass?
Right here.
Where be me cutlass?
He's in there.
Got to love Long John.
- How about Long John?
- You're Long John?
Got to love Long John.
No!
Let him go! Quit it!
My God! What are you doing?
What the hell you...
Give me the boy.
No!
Got to love Long John!
Get out of there!
Come on. Get off there!
Come on!
All right.
I’m going to fight them!
What are you doing?
What the hell's the matter with you?
Get some help!
- What's wrong with him?
- Your friend has serious trouble.
- Yeah, what...
- He's catatonic.
- How'd he catch that?
- It's nothing you catch.
There's an ambulance on the way
from Laguna Heights.
Would you tell them
that I’ve got him sedated?
- What place is that?
- State Hospital.
- How long has he got to be in there now?
- There's no telling.
What do you mean?
Are you a doctor? Do you know or not?
- Keep your voice down. This is a hospital.
- I know it's a hospital.
I’m going to take care of him.
I got the money. In Pittsburgh.
He's just fooling around.
He's fooling around.
Christ, they got you all strapped up.
Look at that.
Jesus Christ. What have they done to you?
Jesus.
