00:00I got two broads in the car.
00:05You said Aide went to stay at her mother's.
00:11No wonder.
00:13Place looks like a fucking sty.
00:17What's wrong with you?
00:20Talk to me.
00:22This ain't like you, kid.
00:26I ran into Billy Cracciolo.
00:28Meter made? What about him?
00:30Told me the regular cops in Nutley are looking for a guy.
00:33Blew off a kid's toe for no good reason in Russo's bakery.
00:38Drove a Lexus?
00:43Does Tony know about this?
00:46What's going on, Crissy?
00:49Been working my ass off on this movie script.
00:51You know how many pages I got?
00:53Nineteen.
00:55That a lot or a little?
00:57The book say a movie's supposed to be about 120 pages.
01:01Got this fucking computer.
01:03I thought it would do a lot of it.
01:05You're being frank about the business, kid.
01:07I would never do that.
01:08It's only suggested by...
01:10That writer with the bullfights?
01:13Blew his own fucking head off.
01:16I bought a script writing program and everything.
01:18My advice?
01:20Put that thing down a while.
01:22We go get our joints capped.
01:24And tomorrow, the words will come blowing out your ass.
01:28You ever feel like nothing good was ever going to happen to you?
01:32Yeah.
01:32And nothing did.
01:33So what?
01:34I'm alive.
01:35I'm surviving.
01:36That's it.
01:37I don't want to just survive.
01:38It says in these movie writing books that every character has an arc.
01:43You understand?
01:46Like everybody starts out somewheres, and then they do something.
01:50Something gets done to them.
01:51It changes their life.
01:52That's called their arc.
01:54Where's my arc?
01:54I take Richard Kimmel, right?
02:02No, that's no good.
02:03His arc is run, run, jump off a damn, run.
02:09Keanu Reeves, devil's advocate.
02:11You see that?
02:12Yeah.
02:13Right.
02:15Keanu's a lawyer.
02:17Gets all turned on by money, power, and the devil.
02:20Then his wife says to him,
02:21You're not the man I married.
02:23Leaves him.
02:24You see the arc?
02:28He starts down here.
02:30He ends up here.
02:32Where's my arc, Paulie?
02:36Kid.
02:37Richard Kimmel, the devils, whatever.
02:40Those who are all make-believe.
02:42Hey, I got no arc either.
02:44I was born, grew up, spent a few years in the army,
02:48a few more in the can, and here I am.
02:51A half a wise guy.
02:52So what?
02:53I got no identity.
02:56I mean, even Brendan Fallone's got an identity.
02:58He's dead.
03:00I kill that fucking email cola on nothing.
03:03I don't even move up a notch.
03:05All I got is nightmares.
03:07That Polish, Czech, Slavic, whatever the fuck he is,
03:10is haunting me and my dreams every night.
