Bad Lieutenant (1992) Movie Script

Hey, folks,
I know the Mets are down 3-0
in a best of seven.
l know no World Series team
has ever come back
from 3-0 down to win four straight.
l know they haven't played well.
l know the pitching's been bad.
I know "no cIutch hitting,"
I know '86/'69 seem a Iong, Iong time ago.
And there's no Ruth, there's no Gehrig.
Goodness gracious,
there's no Donn Clendenon.
But you are not out of it
untiI you Iose four games
in a best of seven.
That is all there is to it.
Back to the phones we go.
Bruce is in Bayside.
-Bruce, how are you?
-How you doing, Chris?
Good to have you aboard, bud. What's up?
Listen, I'm writing off this season.
As far as I'm concerned,
the Mets are out of it.
They're down 3-0.
They might as weII pack their bags.
-Write it off?
-Wait a second, my concern is next year.
-What do you mean, write it off?
-You Iook at great teams of the past,
the A's in '88, the PhiIIies back in the '50s,
the lndians in '54 won
over a hundred games.
The foIIowing years, these teams wouIdn't
have been anything, they were no good.
-AII right.
-The Mets, they'II be out of it this year.
-Question!
-They need to worry about next year.
Did the Indians in '54 say,
after they lost the third game to the Giants,
"You know, let's not show up for Game 4.
We've Iost. Let's rebuiId for next year"?
They might as weII have.
They might as weII have.
Hey, the A's won in '89,
and it's not easy to win every singIe year.
This is a team that has proven
they cannot win in the cIutch.
It's so obvious. very year they...
They won in '86, didn't they?
They won in '86 because a guy couIdn't
fieId a ground baII.
lf l was on first base...
How about the pIayoffs
and the World Series, Bruce?
The Mets would've lost the World Series
if I was pIaying first base.
That is incorrect
because the game was tied...
Let's go! Let's go!
How many times you be late for school?
Your sister gets to school on time.
What's the problem with you guys?
You want to be drien around
like you're the President,
like l'm your goddamn chauffeur.
-Dad, it wasn't our fault.
-Dad, it wasn't our fault.
-Oh, yeah? Whose fault was it? Mine?
-No.
Aunt Wendy told us
to take out the garbage,
-and she hogged up the bathroom.
-Hogged up the bathroom.
All morning.
We couldn't get in there
to brush our teeth or do anything.
We had to wait till she got out.
By the time we got out, the bus was gone.
So how are we supposed to be on time?
This is the only way we're gonna get there.
Hey, listen to me.
l'm the boss, not Aunt Wendy.
When it's your turn to use the bathroom,
you tell Aunt Wendy
to get the fuck out of the bathroom.
What are you, men or mice?
"She's hogging the bathroom."
Call me. l'll throw her the fuck out.
...every facet of the game.
They're being outpitched,
they're being outsIugged,
and they're being out-fieIded.
They're aIso being out-efforted,
if there's such a word.
They're going to lose 4-0.
No, they're not. They're gonna win.
-Strawberry's fucking killing them.
-They're going to lose!
-Gonna win!
-They're going to lose!
Knock it off.
David Cone will be the starter at Game 4,
and that has a Iot of fans, myseIf...
Strawberry's killing them.
Not only will Cone be setting the pace...
Go Coney! Yeah! All right!
-Knock it off, will you?
-Come on.
Gie me a goddamn headache.
l know all five of those runs were unearned.
l still don't think that's...
Bye, Dad.
-Bye, Dad.
-Yeah.
-Bye, Dad.
-See you.
The next two games
in this series are at Shea.
If they can win them
that at Ieast puts a doubt
in the minds of the Dodgers,
and that's what the Mets need.
They need to prove
that the Dodgers are not invincibIe.
It wouId aIso restore their confidence,
and the Mets are a dangerous team
when they get on a roII
and start beIieving in themseIves.
Jeff Torborg caIIed a cIosed-door...
Get some shots.
l want some shots oer here,
from this window here.
Mikey, come here.

Around... On that door. Thank you.
-Anybody see anybody?
-Yeah, a dookie.
We got this one Chinese guy oer here
who saw a couple guys
running oer these park benches
towards Park enue.
We got a pretty good description

The uniformed guy put it on the air.
We'll see what happens.

And let me hae some shots
on the eye-leel.
Mets my ass. Dodgers are smoking, huh?
Yeah, they're smoking.

-Terrible.

That Conehead motherfucker

Een money with Cone pitching?
That's right.
You don't think they're

You're right.
Not only that, they're due, man.
Put my three on the Mets. Een money.
Listen,

You say that like it's
a fucking death sentence.
lt's a smart bet.

Strawberry burns.
Nah, man. He can't win the four in a row.
-No? All right.
-Three. That's it, max.
-Max.

Yeah. Gie me a cup of coffee.

Plus, l want another 1 5,000

Fifteen? But that's what you're up.
Why don't you just go ahead?
Hey, don't gie me that bullshit.

Hi. It's David. TaIk to you Iater.
Hello?

Hello? Hello?
Hello?
So with Brett Butler on third
and KaI DanieIs on first,
Strawberry stands in against David Cone.
Cone leaning in for the sign.
He goes to the stretch.
The pitch on the way,
and it's a Iong high bIast
to right center fieId.
ver the fence and off the scoreboard
at Shea Stadium.
Darryl Strawberry trots it out
around the bases,
and he hits one of those moon shots
that have trademarked his career.
Quite a clout, but maybe too little too late.
A Mets 1 1-0 lead is now 1 1-3.
A three-run homer for Strawberry.
His third home run of the series,
and RBIs 10, 1 1 , and 12.
It's 1 1-3, Mets.
No matter how far Strawberry hits a ball,
he cannot drive in enough runs
to get the Dodgers back in this game.
Strawberry with the moon shot
getting congratuIations
in the Dodger dugout.
That brings ric Davis to the pIate,
and right now aII the Dodgers
want to try and do
is cIose the Mets out,
gain some momentum back
going into Game 5.
If they can make a IittIe noise here,
get some offense going...
Gie her a piece of cake. Mom, you okay?
Hae a little bit of cake.
Hey, Strawberry, want a cup of coffee?
Cone into the windup. Here's the first pitch.
Why don't you come here
and hae a cup of coffee with us.
Davis again stepping out.
Looks for the sign.
Steps back in.
You know, Iet's face it, foIks,
I know they got a ways to go yet.
I know they have a ways to go.
But the Dodgers bIew a match point.
-PossibIe man shot, 1 53...
-I'II teII you something right now.
The first one to get is aIways the hardest
to get when you're down by a Iarge...
Confirmed, man shot. 1 53 Jane Street.
Hey, Veronica, baby, what's going on?
There's a ki somewhere in the back seat.
Hey. How you doing?
What we got here is
a black male with his throat cut.
-Somebody look at him?
-Yeah, probably.
-Anybody check the car?
-Not yet.
-l'll check the car.
-All right. Good.
Hey, Sarge.
How are you doing, boss? What do we got?
l'e got a black male with his throat slit.
-lt looks like he's going to...
-Any weapons?
Lieutenant's checking the seat now.
How about any witnesses?
First three uniform guys on the scene
got two, possible relaties.
Let me see what the Lieutenant
wants us to do here.
-What's that?
-Looks like a ki of coke.
Put it in eidence.
Hey, l want you two guys
to go contact yourjunkie friends
oer there on 25th Street till we get up.
You two guys go oer

What's going on?
They raped a nun up in Spanish Harlem.

l would'e killed these motherfuckers.
They took the fucking chalice.
The host was still in there.
What they want with the host?
What the fuck you think?
What, you think they wanna eat the host?
They wanted to pawn
the fucking chalice off.
Put up a $50,000 reward.
Leae it to the Catholic Church.
Girls get raped eery day.
Now they're gonna put up 50 Gs
just because these chicks
wear penguin suits.
What is your fucking problem?
The Church is a racket.
So what? Are you a Catholic?
l'm a Catholic.
Why don't you hae a little bit
of fucking respect?
Hey, fuck that noise.
How about them Mets?
Bet you won a shitload.
More than you did.
l want to get paid.
What about tomorrow?
What do you guys want to do?
Want to make a bundle?
Leae it all on the Mets.
What, you think they're
going to beat Martinez?
The series has got to last seen games.
You know how much money is riding
on commercial time alone?
A New York/LA team?
When's the last time a series in New York
did not last seen games?
You know the reenue alone
in TV commercials?
Endorsements for the players?
The income it's bringing into the city
for transportation?
There are no fucking jobs
in New York, are there?
There's no way the series
is gonna end tomorrow.
There's too many people want to milk it
for what it's worth.
Did l steer you wrong yesterday?
You want to make a smart moe?
Leae it on the Mets.
What do you want to do?
l'm in.
Are you a doubter? l'll tell you what, then.
Don't listen to the way
l steered you yesterday.
All right?
So you owe me money.
What do you want to do?
Dr. Sherman, 247. Dr. Sherman, 247.
Can l help you with something?
l'm in charge of the inestigation.
Just checking security.
Security?
Wouldn't want the guys
coming back, would you?
For the nun,
or for you.
Here are the soiled undergarments
and the nun's habit.
They're to be taken by you for eidence.
Now, black pubic hair other than the patient
was found during comb inspection.
Here are the samples of that.
There was trauma to the aginal mucosa
with multiple lacerations
that appear to be made with a sharp object,
in which the hymen membrane was broken.
lt was stated that this object was a crucifix.
Trauma consistent
with multiple penetration.
Three-centimeter laceration.
Let the Mets be upIifted.
Let the Mets have a nice dinner at home.
Let the Mets look
at the post-game highIights
and see base hits aII over the pIace.
ne bullet has been dodged!
Just a coupIe more to go,
and I'II teII you something right now.
The Ionger this series goes,
the Ionger this series goes,
the Dodgers wiII get awfuIIy tight,
and if it somehow gets to a Game 7...

Go gently with her.
Sister, l can't imagine
how you feel right now,
but it's ery important that we learn
as much about what happened as possible
so we can get this information out
oer the police radio.
What can you tell me
about what happened?
Can you tell me
how many of them there were?
Can you tell me what color they were?
Were they black? Were they white?
Were they Hispanic?
Can you tell me how old they were?
Was one older than the other?
There were two of them.
Two young men.
What can you tell me
about the older of the two?
Were there any distinguishing marks
or tattoos?
An earring?
Did he hae a beard or a mustache?
Can you tell me how they were dressed?
Sister, l know this is difficult,
but l can't emphasize how important it is.
The sooner we can get this information
out oer the...
Here it is, baII two from Franco,
and John Franco is struggIing.
He walked Carlos Hernandez.
He got behind on Scioscia, who singled.
He got behind on ButIer, who Iined out.
lt's now 2 and 0.
-DanieIs in a game situation here.
-Come on, Daniels.
If he can work his way aboard,
then the Ioad faIIs once again
to Darryl Strawberry,
as he has a chance to pIay hero
once again for the Dodgers,
but it's up to DanieIs at this point.
-From the stretch...
-Come on, Daniels.
Ball three!
Good eyes, good eyes.
Take it. Take your next one.
...a 3-0 count now.
Daniels with Strawberry on deck.
Strawberry already with three hits tonight.
Two to nothing baIIgame, ninth inning,
and there's a strike.
Three and one the count, as DanieIs...
All right, all right.
Good moe. Take the pitch.
-Eyes, eyes.

Come on, Daniels. Eyes.
Use your fucking eyes.
Two on, one out.
Here's the 3-1 pitch.
Ground ball to short. Could be two.

Piece of fucking shit!
You fucking nigger! Fucking cocksucker!

Congratulations, asshole.
Now you owe him 30,000.
Now what are you going to do?

on the next game.
Double or nothing?
Come on, what are you,
out of your mind or what?
There's no way l'm gonna let
that bastard take my money.
Take your money? Really?
This guy's going to blow your house up
with you and eerybody else in it.
There's no way LA's
going to lose this game.
They're playing at home.
Strawberry's ready to break out.
Fuck Strawberry.
You're gonna wind up
owing this maniac 60,000.
lt's my business. Just place the bet.
-Body of Christ.
-The body of Christ.
The body of Christ.
-The body of Christ.
-Body of Christ.
-The body of Christ.
-The body of Christ.
Those boys...
Those sad, raging boys.
They came to me as the needy do,
and like many of the needy, they were rude.
Like all the needy, they took.
And like all the needy, they needed.
Father, l knew them.
They learn in our school,
and they play in our schoolyard,
and they are good boys.
You knew them?
Who are they, Sister?
Who are the boys?
What are their names, the names of these
good boys you knew?
l could tell you their names now,
and l know you are bound by a sacred ow
to keep my secret,
but l cannot tell you their names,
for l, too, am bound.
Jesus turned water to wine.
l ought to hae turned bitter semen
into fertile sperm,
hatred to loe,
and maybe to hae saed their souls.
They did not loe me,
but l ought to hae loed them.
For Jesus loed those who reiled him,
and neer again shall l encounter two boys
whose prayer was more poignant,
more legible, more anguished.
Sid Fernandez and Darryl Strawberry,
a battle of wits and talent here
in the bottom of the ninth in Los AngeIes.
Strawberry readies himself.
Fernandez checks for the sign.
The pitch on the way. Swinging. Strike one.
ne and one on Strawberry,
as Fernandez came in with that fast baII,
and DarryI couId not connect.
ne and one the count.
Two outs. Bottom of the ninth.
For Los AngeIes, men on second and third.
The Dodgers find themseIves down by three
and in need
of one of those DarryI moon shots.
The 1-1 pitch from Fernandez.
Swinging. Foul ball.
ff to the third base side.
ne and two the count to Strawberry now
as he once again waIks around,
thinks about what he might see
on this next pitch from Sid Fernandez.
ne and two to Strawberry.
New York Mets trying to do something
that no other team has ever done,
come back from a three-nothing deficit
in a best of seven series.
Strawberry is ready. So is Fernandez.
Ease to the belt.
The 1-2 pitch to Strawberry.
n the way.
High and outside, it's now 2-2.
So the string runs a little bit longer.
The tension buiIds here in Los AngeIes
as Strawberry and Fernandez battle.
Dodgers trying to eIiminate the Mets.
The Mets trying hard to send this series
to a seventh and finaI game.
Fernandez wants to change basebaIIs now.
He gets another one back
from the home pIate umpire.
It's now a 2-2 count in a game situation.
nce again, no team has ever come back
from a 3-0 deficit
to come back and win a series.
That's what the Mets are trying
to accompIish here.
Strawberry, with that big year this year
for the Dodgers,
trying to continue his hot hitting
in this pIayoff.
So it's lefty against lefty,
oId teammate against oId teammate.
Strawberry steps in.
Fernandez to the stretch.
The pitch.
He goes around... Did he go around?
The appeaI at third. Yes!
Darryl Strawberry,
on the check-swing, goes too far.
He strikes out.
This game is over,
as Strawberry goes down looking,
and the Dodgers are Iooking at a Mets team
that has tied the series at three.
h, what drama on a 3-2 pitch.
And a third base umpire said,
"Yes, sir, he did go around."
And the expression
on Darryl Strawberry's face says it all.
We're tied at three games apiece,
and the Mets win 8-5.
This sets the scene
for one heck of a seventh game.
Pitching-wise,
it's a match made in a fan's dream.
lmagine, one game, and it's Dwight Gooden
against rel Hershiser.
Neither pitcher is as powerfuI
as he once was.
Some of their magic removed
by a surgeon's knife.
But they are stiII pressure pitchers
who know how to get it done,
possibIy two future HaII of Famers.
And Game 7 certainly looks like a game...
l can't help you.
Hey. About time.
He finally shows up. Jesus Christ.
Hey. Yo, Lieu!
Come here.
Hey, how you doing?
l neer fucking thought you'd be here.

for his trouble.

You're this close already to death.
Hey, l'e been dodging fucking bullets
since l was 14.
No one can kill me.
l'm blessed.
l'm a fucking Catholic.
How's the case going?
-What case?
-What case?
The case with the $50,000 reward.
Remember?
Yeah. We're on it big time. Lots of leads.
You can use that 50
to get yourself out of this hole.
The Dodgers are going to win the series.
lt's a fucking lock.
Get this, man. l was at the game today,
face-to-fucking-face with Strawberry.
And... And...
And l knew that he struck out on purpose,
and that he's saing it up
for the big one tomorrow.
Today, for the first time, l understood that...
You're sick in the fucking head.
You know that?
That it neer could hae gone
any other way.
Neer could hae gone any other way.
So, you just better put in my fucking bet.
$1 20,000 on the last game, the big one.
Come on. You a bookmaker fuck or what?
You know, l'll tell you the truth,
be honest with you.
l'm fed up with this.
Here. l'm going to gie you
this guy's number.
You call him yourself.
You tell him what the fuck you want.
Put your own bets in from now on.
Judas.
-You leaing the sinking ship?
-Here. Take that.

You lose, you'll be in for 1 20
to a fucking dago
who'll kill you for nothing.
Yeah. Keep laughing.
You're supposed to coer that,

you will take my bet

What about the money you owe me
from yesterday's game?
Fuck yesterday's game!
The series is seen games, not six!
Put in my bet!

There's nothing to think about.
Either you put in my bet,
or you get nothing.
-ReaIIy?
-Yeah.
Really, l'm no fucking asshole.

Vampires are lucky.
They can feed on others.
We got to eat away at ourseles.

We got to come so we can go.
We got to suck ourseles off.
We got to eat away at ourseles

We gie and gie,

You hae to gie to make sense?
Ain't worth it.
Jesus said 70 times 7.
No one wiII ever understand why...
Why you did it.
They'II just forget about you tomorrow,
but you got to do it.
Hershiser Ieans in for the sign.
ase to the beIt. His pitch to BoniIIa.
BaII, outside.
rel Hershiser does not
have his good stuff.
He has struggIed the entire four innings.
Dwight Gooden leads off third.
Vince Coleman on first,
dancing back and forth,
trying to distract Hershiser,
who's having enough troubIe
concentrating on his pitches at this point.
Ease to the stretch.
Here's the 1-0 pitch to BoniIIa,
and BoniIIa rips it down the third base Iine.
It's roIIing toward the corner.
Gooden scores easily.
Now the baII's bouncing around
in the corner,
and Coleman is tearing around third.
He'll score.
BoniIIa around second, hoIds up,
goes back into second with a doubIe.
The Mets lead 5 to 0.
Five to 0, and you got to wonder
if the Dodgers can ever recover
from this deficit.
That should be it for Hershiser.
In fact, Tommy Lasorda's
coming out of the dugout right now.
Before he even reaches the mound,
he has motioned to the buIIpen,
and in, in reIief, comes Ramon Martinez.
Lasorda using every arm he has avaiIabIe
to try and win this series.
MeanwhiIe, the game competitor...
Listen to me, Sister.
Listen to me good.
The other cops will just put these guys
through the system.
They're jueniles.
They'll walk.
Get it?
But l'll beat the system and do justice.
Real justice.
For you.
l hae already forgien them.
Come on, lady.
These guys put out cigarette butts
on your...
Get with the program.
How could you...
How could you forgie these mother...
These... These guys? Excuse me.
How could you?
Deep down inside, don't you want them
to pay for what they did to you?
Don't you want this crime reenged?
l'e forgien them.
But...
Do you hae the right?
You're not the only woman in the world.
You're not een the only nun.
Your forgieness
will leae blood in its wake.
What if these guys do this to other nuns?
Other irgins?
Old women who'll die from the shock?
Do you hae the right
to let these boys go free?
Can you bear the burden, Sister?
Talk to Jesus.
Pray.
You do beliee in God, don't you?
That Jesus Christ died for your sins?
What?
You got something
that you want to say to me?
You fuck.
You rat-fucker.
You rat-fuck!
Here's your...
What?
Say something. l know.
You're just standing there.
What am l going to do?
You gotta say something!
Something!
You fuck!
You fucking stand there,
and you want me to do eery fucking thing?
Where were you?
Where the fuck were you?
Where were you?
Where the hell were you?
l...
l'm sorry.
l'm so sorry!
l'm sorry!
l did so many bad things!
l'm sorry!
l tried to do...
l tried to do the right thing,
but l'm weak. l'm too fucking weak!
l need you to help me.
Help me!
l need you to help me.
Forgie me.
Forgie me, please.
Forgie me, Father.
Quite a match-up here.
Ramon Martinez against Howard Johnson,
the power pitcher and the fastbaII hitter.
Vince Coleman is leading off third base.
Bobby BoniIIa off first.
HoJo has not had much
success against Martinez.
l stole it from my husband's shop
so's l could return it
to where it ought to be.
lt's a holy thing.
A holy thing.
-Which way is it?
-The boys right across the street there.
Julio and Paulo.
lt's a holy thing.
-A holy thing.
-Martinez chaIIenged HoJo
with his best, his fastbaII, and HoJo set...
Me, Iike everybody eIse, had high hopes
for the Dodger cIub.
There's a great deaI of taIent here,
but theyjust can't seem to keep it together.
Freeze.
Go ahead
and keep your hands in front of you.
Keep your hands out in front of you.
Get out of here.
Way back, it may go. Gone!
A home run for Mike Scioscia.
You, get out.
Well, Scioscia seemed to wait on the pitch,
drove it the other way.
Good piece of hitting
by the Dodger veteran.
And the remaining Dodger fans,
weII, they finaIIy have something
to cheer about.
The Dodgers must've been wondering
if they couId do anything right today.
Put them on.
Lock it.
-What's your name?
-Julio.
-What's your name?
-Paulo.
David Cone is on, in relief,
for the New York Mets.
Upside and high, baII one.
Sid Fernandez and Pete Schourek
are both getting ready in the buIIpen.
Cone knows, with this big lead,
he has to throw strikes.
Here's a pitch on the way,
breaking baII over caIIed strike.
Jose appeared to be taking...
Put your hands up there
where l can see them.
He had a bunt hit in the opening game
of the series.
And the pitch is thrown outside and high.
Ball two.
Jose seemed to be swinging away,
but wiseIy he Iaid off.
Now David behind,
and the count two and one.
Up by seven runs,
David just wants to throw strikes.
Nothing's been reaI easy
for either team in the series.
Cone into the windup. Bunted!
HandIed easiIy, though. Throw to first base.
Gie me a light.
And now the Mets need just one more out.
You know, on the repIay, you can see
that baII bounce right on the pIate,
making for the easy pIay.
A lot like Coleman's hit in the fourth,
but Coleman's ball must've gone
Now it's going to be Lenny Harris
representing the Dodgers' finaI hope.
Harris, at .225...
Hold it.
You want some good shit?
-Yeah.
-Pitch thrown to Len Harris.
Swing and a miss. Strike one.
Harris, Iike many of these Dodgers,
came out on fire when the series opened,
but seems to have just disappeared.
f course, Met pitching has had a lot to do
with that disappearance.
In the cIutch,
the Mets pitchers just couId not be denied.
Mets are now aII standing
on the dugout steps in anticipation.
Pitch thrown is ball one.
Lenny Harris thought about it, he Iaid off.
And the count's even at one and one.
At this point, weII,
it looks like the Met fans...
Put your hand up there where l can see it.
...here at Dodger Stadium.
You can see pockets of Met rooters
aII around the stadium,
and they're aIready ceIebrating.
FouI baII coming back and out of pIay.
Now David Cone...
-Gie me a light.
-...needs one more strike
to compIete the most amazing comeback
in pIayoff history.
I'II never forget the '86 championship
against the Astros,
but this one has to be the best.
veryone, but everyone,
had counted the Mets out,
and now they're just one strike away
from winning it aII.
You know, this whoIe thing
is reaIIy unbeIievabIe.
Here we go. ne and two the count.
Cone has his sign.
The windup and the pitch on the way.
Strike three called! The Mets win it.
Harris doesn't Iike it, but it's aII over.
The Mets have won the championship,
and the Mets are the first team ever
to come back from a 3-0 deficit
to win a playoff or a World Series.
The Mets are on the field.
Jeff Torborg in the middIe,
a very happy man.
What a job he's done for the team.
-Out the door.
-Dwight Gooden gets the victory
with an aid and assist from David Cone
in the eighth and ninth innings.
WeII, you can't beIieve it.
The Mets are going on to the World Series.
The Mets make history.
Not onIy have they won
the National League Championship Series
with this 8-1 victory over Los AngeIes,
they've become the first team
to come back from the brink of eIimination,
down three games to none,
and win the series
by taking four straight games.
I'd say that that's highIy impossibIe,
but it's possibIe. They've done it.
This miracIe comeback stands side by side,
in the annaIs of this team,
with aII the expIoits
of the 1969 Miracle Mets
and their World Series Championship,
and the 1986 World Series win over Boston.
You raped a holy thing.
You destroyed that young girl,
and she forgies you.
You hear that? She forgies you.
You fucking heroes.
You like holding her down
and shoing your dick into her
while she couldn't do nothing about it?
Did you like that?
Watch this, motherfucker.
Here. Watch this, you cocksucker!
Look at that.
You can't do a thing about that, can you?
Can you? Look at me.
Can you? Can you, fuck-face? Can you?
Go ahead. Moe.
Moe, you cocksucker. Moe.
l'd like to blow your fucking face apart.
You fucking scumbags.
And she forgies you.
How could she forgie that?
How could she forgie
you slimy little bastards?
How could she forgie a thing like that?
