Handsome Harry (2009) Movie Script
- LUTHER, YOU PIRATE.
- THERE HE IS.
- HARRY, DID YOU CATCH ANYTHING
THIS WEEKEND?
- YEAH, I CAUGHT HELL.
- OH.
- HOW ARE YOU, PETE?
- HARRY, I'M GONNA NEED
SOME DEER MEAT, BUDDY.
- NO PROBLEM.
GOT A FREEZER FULL.
- MORNING, HARRY.
- YOU EVER GONNA FIX
THAT KAYAK OF YOURS, HANK?
- NICE TO HAVE A DREAM.
- YOU LOOK TERRIBLE.
- WAS OUT DANCING TILL DAWN.
- IT'S NOT MUCH FUN
DANCING BY YOURSELF.
YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED ME.
- [chuckles]
- DID YOUR SON REMEMBER?
- NO.
I NEVER REMEMBERED
MY DAD'S BIRTHDAY EITHER.
- OH, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
HEY.
THERE'S A RUMOR
YOU'RE SELLING THE BUSINESS.
I NEVER PLANNED ON
DYING IN THE SADDLE.
BESIDES, MURIEL,
I'M A YOUNG MAN.
I'M A TIGER.
- [chuckles]
THAT'S RIGHT.
AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
MY DAD RETIRED,
WENT TO LIVE IN FLORIDA,
DIED OF CANCER IN TEN MONTHS.
- WELL, I WON'T DO ANYTHING
PRECIPITOUS.
- BIG WORD
FOR SO EARLY IN THE MORNING.
MORNING, HARRY.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
I KNOW IT'S ON THE 27TH,
BUT I WAS OUT OF TOWN YESTERDAY.
- HE REMEMBERS. MY SON DIDN'T.
- I KNOW THE BIRTHDAYS
OF ALL MY CLIENTS.
DON'T TRY TO.
IT JUST STICKS IN MY HEAD.
OKAY, HERE'S THOSE FIGURES
YOU WANTED, HARRY.
THAT IS A SWEET DEAL FOR PAULEY.
YOU COULD ASK FOR MORE.
- I'M GONNA CHEW ON I A LITTLE BIT MORE, SAM.
MURIEL SAYS I'M GONNA DIE OF
CANCER TEN MONTHS AFTER I SELL.
- YOU KNOW, HARRY, ON AVERAGE,
MARRIED MEN LIVE LONGER
THAN SINGLE MEN.
IT'S A FACT.
- THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PROPOSAL,
DOESN'T IT, SAM?
- IT'S NOT.
IT'S JUST A FACT.
- I HEARD YOU CAN GE THE SAME BENEFITS WITH A CAT.
- SO GET A CAT.
- OR I COULD MOVE TO COSTA RICA,
GET MYSELF A BEAUTIFUL SENORITA,
LIVE THE LIFE OF RILEY
DOWN THERE.
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT,
"COSTA RICA?"
YOU CAN'T EVEN SPEAK SPANISH.
- AND WHERE WOULD I FIND
ANOTHER LEAD SINGER?
DON'T FORGET ABOUT REHEARSAL
ON WEDNESDAY.
- I'LL BE THERE.
WHAT?
- HOW ABOUT I COME OVER TONIGH
AND GIVE YOU A NICE
BIRTHDAY BLOW JOB?
IT'S A JOKE, HARRY.
- WHAT'D HE SAY, MURIEL?
- NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, HANK.
- MORNING, BOSS.
- ANYBODY CALL?
- UH, DOUG FENTON.
SAID HE WANTED AN ESTIMATE
ON A NEW HOUSE.
I TOLD HIM
YOU'D GET BACK TO HIM.
- YOU TAKE CARE OF IT.
- MAKE THE CALL?
- MAKE THE ESTIMATE.
- YOU WANT ME
TO MAKE THE ESTIMATE?
- WHAT'D I JUST SAY?
- IT'S A HUGE JOB.
- THEN YOU BETTER NO FUCK IT UP.
I'LL GO TO MRS. SCHROEDER'S,
PROBABLY NOTHING
BUT ANOTHER LIGHTBULB.
THEN I'LL HEAD OU TO DAN PARKER'S PLACE.
- WHAT IF HE ASKS ME WHY
YOU'RE NOT MAKING THE ESTIMATE?
- TELL HIM
I DON'T DO ESTIMATES ANYMORE.
TAKE MY CHEROKEE.
- OH, HEY.
UH...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
RIGHT?
- IT WAS YESTERDAY.
MRS. SCHROEDER?
- YES?
- IS THAT FRESH BANANA BREAD
I'M SMELLING?
- OH, THERE'S NO SURPRISING YOU,
HARRY SWEENEY.
- ONLY WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD,
ESPECIALLY FRESH BANANA BREAD
WITH COFFEE WITH CHICORY.
- DID YOU FIND OU WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS?
- OH, YEAH,
YOU HAD A COUPLE OF LOOSE WIRES,
BUT I TAPED IT UP REAL GOOD.
- WELL, I HOPE YOU'RE HUNGRY.
- I SKIPPED MY BREAKFAS ON PURPOSE.
I GOT MY TICKETS
FOR THE CONCERT,
AND I'M SITTING RIGHT UP FRONT.
- WELL, YOU'RE MY INSPIRATION.
- SOMETIMES YOU LAY IT ON
PRETTY THICK, HARRY SWEENEY.
- I COULD ALWAYS
MAKE MRS. WELLS MY INSPIRATION.
DON'T YOU DARE.
- NO?
- NO!
- OH, MY GOD, YOU MADE IT!
IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE YOU, SON.
- LISTEN, I WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE
ON YOUR BIRTHDAY,
BUT THIS PIECE OF JUNK
BLEW A HEAD GASKE
ON THE JERSEY TURNPIKE.
- YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED ME.
- I WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU.
- WELL, YOU DID.
YOU GOT ME GOOD.
YOU BEEN WORKING OUT?
- TRYING TO.
- YOU LOOK GOOD.
YOU HUNGRY?
- I WANT TO TAKE YOU OU TO DINNER.
EARLY DINNER.
- YOU KNOW,
UH, IT'S KIND OF HARD
TO FIND A GOOD RESTAURAN AROUND HERE.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
I'LL THROW A COUPLE OF STEAKS
ON THE GRILL.
HOW'D THAT BE, HUH?
HUH? HUH?
- THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
THAT'D BE GREAT.
- OKAY.
COME ON IN.
HOW LONG CAN YOU STAY?
- WELL, I HAVE TO GET BACK
TO WORK ON MONDAY.
I LOST TWO DAYS AND 700 BUCKS
TRYING TO GET HERE.
- OH, MY GOD.
- DO YOU MISS HOME?
- SOMETIMES.
HELLO.
- HEY, HARRY SWEENEY?
- YEAH.
- IT'S ME, KELLY.
- WHO?
- THOMAS KELLY.
ELECTRICIAN'S MATE, THIRD CLASS,
USS FORRESTAL.
- JESUS CHRIST.
HOW'D YOU FIND ME?
- THAT'S NICE.
IS THAT ALL YOU GOT TO SAY
AFTER 32 YEARS,
YOU SON OF A BITCH?
- IT'S JUS SUCH A DAMN SURPRISE.
HOW ARE YOU?
- I'M DYING.
I GOT A COUPLE DAYS, MAYBE.
- OH, SHIT, KELLY.
YEAH.
WELL...
LISTEN.
DO YOU REMEMBER THE NIGH
WE ALMOST...KILLED KAGAN?
I KNOW I'M GOING TO HELL FOR IT.
- WHEN DID YOU GET RELIGION?
- FUCK YOU.
I'M DYING.
AND I WANT YOU
TO COME AND SEE ME.
DON'T YOU HANG UP ON ME,
SWEENEY.
- LOOK.
I'LL BE DYING TOO.
WE ALL WILL.
- I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO KAGAN.
I NEED TO HAVE HIM FORGIVE ME.
- WELL, IF YOU CAN FIND ME,
YOU CAN FIND HIM.
- I DID.
HE'S IN MIAMI.
I CALLED HIM YESTERDAY,
BUT HE WOULDN'T TALK TO ME.
- WELL,
THAT'S THE END OF IT THEN.
- KELLY, WE WERE KIDS.
WE ALL SUFFERED FOR I IN OUR OWN WAY,
SO WHY DON'T YOU
JUST FORGIVE YOURSELF
AND DIE IN PEACE
AND DON'T BE SUCH A PUSSY?
WE BECAME MEN TOGETHER.
THAT MUST COUNT FOR SOMETHING.
- THAT COUNTS FOR A LOT.
- YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN HELP ME NOW.
- WHERE ARE YOU?
- I'M IN THE FUCKING
V.A. HOSPITAL OUTSIDE PHILLY.
- MY SON JUST DROVE DOWN
ALL THE WAY FROM CHICAGO
FOR MY BIRTHDAY.
HE'S ONLY HERE
FOR THE GODDAMN WEEKEND.
- I AIN'T GONNA MAKE I THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
I NEED TO SEE YOU, PLEASE.
- I'M GONNA HANG UP, KELLY.
- BLAST FROM THE PAST?
- YEAH.
OLD NAVY BUDDY.
HE'S DYING.
- YOU NEVER TALK TO ME
ABOUT THE NAVY.
- NOTHING MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.
SAW A LOT OF WATER.
I'VE PASSED MORE BUOYS
THAN YOU HAVE TELEPHONE POLES.
YOU WANT A BEER OR SOME COFFEE?
- I'M GOOD.
HEY, LISTEN.
SO UM...
I THOUGH WE COULD GO FISHING TOMORROW.
DAD.
- SHIT.
LOOK, BOBBY,
I GOT TO GO SEE THIS GUY.
I OWE HIM THAT MUCH.
I'LL GET BACK HERE
TOMORROW NIGHT.
- WELL, I NEED TO LEAVE
THE NEXT MORNING.
- THE GUY WAS MY BEST FRIEND.
LET ME, UH...PAY FOR THE CAR.
HUH?
HI, ROOM 2531, PLEASE?
HI, IT'S ME, TOMMY.
- OH, SHIT.
THIS IS HARRY.
HARRY SWEENEY.
THANKS FOR COMING.
ALL RIGHT,
LET ME TALK TO HARRY ALONE.
JANE.
HANDSOME HARRY.
YOU GOT OLD.
THAT'S RIGHT.
- WELL, I STILL REMEMBER
WHEN YOU LOST YOUR CHERRY
THAT NIGHT IN CIUDAD TRUJILLO
TO THE BEST-LOOKING WHORE
I'VE EVER SEEN.
- YEAH, WELL,
YOURS WASN'T SO BAD EITHER.
- THAT'S TRUE.
YOU REMEMBER THE NIGH
KAGAN TOOK US TO THE FIVE SPOT?
AND YOU TWO BUSTED MY BALLS
'CAUSE I NEVER
HEARD JAZZ BEFORE.
- YEAH.
- I TELL YOU, THAT WAS THE MOS BEAUTIFUL FUCKING SOUND
I EVER HEARD.
IN FACT,
THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST NIGHTS
I'VE EVER HAD IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE
MISERABLE LIFE.
I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH, HARRY.
I'M NOT EVEN THAT SORRY
TO SEE IT END.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL.
- YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HELL.
- YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
I'M PRETTY SURE IT WAS ME
WHO FUCKED UP KAGAN SO BAD.
- ALL FIVE OF US DID THAT.
- BUT...
I THINK I WAS THE ONE
WHO DROPPED THAT GENERATOR
ON HIS HAND.
- ARE YOU SURE?
WE WERE ALL SO FUCKING WASTED.
OH, HARRY.
JUST TELL HIM I'M SORRY.
PLEASE.
- I WILL.
- YOU PROMISE?
- I PROMISE, TOMMY.
- HEY, HARRY,
NEXT TIME YOU COME SEE ME,
DON'T COME FUCKING EMPTY-HANDED.
- I'M SORRY, BUDDY.
- OH, I HOPE THERE'S A GOD.
THERE'S GOT TO BE
MORE THAN THIS.
- HE NEEDS TO REST.
- YES, MA'AM.
- HEY.
YOU LOOK HUNGRY.
SHE IS THE BEST COOK.
- WE'LL BE BACK.
- OKAY.
- OKAY.
- I'LL SEE YOU LATER, BUDDY.
ONE NIGHT IN BARCELONA,
TOMMY AND I WERE ON SHORE
PATROLLING
THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT.
WE JUST MADE PETTY OFFICER,
AND IT WAS OUR FIRST NIGH ON PATROL.
AND IT WAS KIND OF QUIET,
SO WE TIED UP
AND WENT UP THE STAIRS
TO ONE OF THE HOUSES.
THE GIRLS FED US
TOMATO AND CHEESE OMELETS--
TO THIS DAY, THE MOS DELICIOUS MEAL I'VE EVER HAD.
AND THE GIRLS
YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY NO A PROPER STORY
AT THIS TIME ANYWAY.
- DON'T WORRY, MR. SWEENEY.
I'VE HEARD IT MORE THAN ONCE.
THE DEPUTY OFFICER CAME IN,
TWO OF THE GIRLS STOOD UP
AND SALUTED
WITH YOUR NIGHTSTICKS
BETWEEN THEIR LEGS.
TOMMY TALKED A LOT ABOUT YOU
OVER THE YEARS.
WHAT HAPPENED WITH KAGAN?
- TOMMY NEVER TOLD YOU?
- SOMETHING'S BEEN EATING A TOMMY EVER SINCE I'VE KNOWN HIM.
AND THIS LAST YEAR,
WHEN HE WAS SICK,
ALL HE COULD TALK ABOU WAS THAT HE'S GOING TO HELL
BECAUSE OF SOMETHING HE DID
IN THE NAVY.
AND ALL I KNOW
IS THAT YOU WERE INVOLVED,
AND THE TWO OF YOU DID SOMETHING
TO THIS MAN, KAGAN.
NOW, I WANT YOU TO TELL ME
WHAT WAS SO TERRIBLE
THAT HE THINKS
HE'S GOING TO HELL FOR IT.
- I DON'T THINK IT'D BE RIGHT,
MA'AM.
TOMMY WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU
IF HE WANTED TO.
- HELLO?
MOM, IT'S THE HOSPITAL.
UH, THIS IS HIS DAUGHTER.
THANK YOU.
- I, UH...
I'M...
I WISH I--
- OH, YOU...
BOTH JUST...
GO TO HELL.
- MR. SWEENEY!
I GOT THE NAMES OF MY DAD'S
FRIENDS FROM THE SHIP,
TRACKED THEM DOWN
ON THE INTERNET.
IT WASN'T THAT HARD, ACTUALLY.
I'M SURE
HE'D WANT YOU TO HAVE THEM.
THEY'RE ALL ON THE EAST COAST.
- HEY, I'LL TELL THEM
ABOUT YOUR DAD.
DO YOU THINK YOUR FATHER
WAS HAPPY?
- AT TIMES, HE WAS HAPPY.
- AT TIMES, YEAH.
WELL,
I BET YOU'RE A GOOD DAUGHTER.
- I GOT TO GET BACK INSIDE
TO MY MOM.
- DAVID?
DINNER IS READY.
SO HARRY, ARE YOU A--
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE, DAVID?
- A YEOMAN.
- AH.
- HARRY'S AN ELECTRICIAN.
- ELECTRICIAN'S
A SENSIBLE CHOICE.
IT'S A DAMN GOOD TRADE.
YOU CAN NEVER GET ONE
WHEN YOU NEED ONE.
- DAVID TYPES.
- DAVID IS A WONDERFUL
JAZZ PIANIST.
HE WAS THE STAR OF THE NEW
YEAR'S PARTY ABOARD THE SHIP.
EVEN THE CAPTAIN MADE A REQUEST.
- I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND IT.
IT WAS PERVERSE OF HIM NOT TO
CONTINUE HIS CLASSICAL TRAINING.
DID YOU KNOW THAT DAVID
WAS A FEATURED SOLOIS
WITH THE SANTA FE SYMPHONY
WHEN HE WAS 13 YEARS OLD?
smash!
beep!
- YEAH?
HELLO?
- RHEEMS.
PETER RHEEMS.
- YES.
IT'S HARRY SWEENEY
FROM THE NAVY.
- JESUS H. CHRIST.
SWEENEY!
HOW THE HELL ARE YOU?
IT'S BEEN A LONG FUCKING TIME.
- DID I CALL TOO LATE?
- OH!
FUCK NO.
HAPPY TO HEAR
YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.
WHAT'S UP?
- I SAW KELLY.
- KELLY, KELLY.
AH, KELLY!
RIGHT.
TOMMY KELLY!
- HE DIED THE OTHER DAY.
- YEAH?
WELL, THAT'S LIFE, ISN'T IT?
HEY, LOOK.
I BUILT THIS NEW HOUSE
WITH A BEAUTIFUL
FUCKING GUEST ROOM,
A VIEW, PRIVATE BATH.
ANYWAY,
I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE YOU.
- HOW FAR ARE YOU
FROM PHILADELPHIA?
- HEY, BUDDY.
GOD, YOU LOOK GREAT.
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED AT ALL.
- YEAH, WELL,
YOU LOOK LIKE SHIT.
- YEAH, FUCK YOU TOO.
- [laughs]
- WHERE'S THE FUCKING TIME GO,
HUH?
- I DON'T KNOW.
- JESUS.
HEY, HONEY,
HARRY SWEENEY'S HERE.
COME ON OUT.
MY GOD.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK
I'VE TOLD HER ANYTHING
ABOUT OUR YEARS TOGETHER
OUT THERE IN THE NAVY.
- GOOD THING.
- AND I DON'T THINK
SHE GIVES A FUCK.
- HI.
- JUDY, HARRY SWEENEY.
THIS IS MY WIFE, JUDY.
- NICE TO MEET YOU, HARRY.
- NICE TO MEET YOU.
- DID YOU BRING YOUR WIFE?
- UH, NO.
I--I'M DIVORCED.
- OH, I'M SORRY.
HOW LONG?
- UH, TEN YEARS, GIVE OR TAKE.
- LOOK, GUYS, WHY DON'T WE
DO SOME CATCHING UP INSIDE,
NOT OUT HERE ON THE PORCH.
FOLLOW ME.
- YOU'RE OUR FIRST GUEST, HARRY.
- YOU STOPPED ANSWERING
MY CHRISTMAS CARDS.
- YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE.
- SO KELLY BOUGHT THE FARM, HUH?
GEEZ.
WHAT WAS HE DOING?
- HE SOLD CARS.
ALWAYS HAD THE GIFT OF GAB,
KELLY.
AND YOU?
YOU STILL AN ELECTRICIAN?
- STILL A SPARKY, YEAH.
- STILL?
- YEAH.
YOU?
- I WAS A SPARKY FOR A WHILE,
BUT ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO,
I WENT INTO REAL ESTATE.
MADE A FUCKING FORTUNE.
- GOOD.
GOOD. GOOD.
I GOT TO USE THE HEAD.
- SURE.
GO AHEAD.
YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU'RE
THE FIRST ONE TO USE THAT TOILE
SINCE THE PLUMBER PEED IN IT.
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING,
YOU JUST HOLLER, ALL RIGHT?
- OKAY, THANKS, PETE.
snap!
- HARRY.
PETER WENT TO THE LIQUOR STORE.
HE WANTED TO GE A NICE BOTTLE OF WINE
FOR HIS GOOD OLD BUDDY.
ARE YOU SEXUALLY ACTIVE, HARRY?
IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION.
- NO.
- HOW LONG?
A LONG TIME.
- HARRY.
- YOU DON'T BELONG IN HERE.
- TOUCH ME.
- PUT YOUR ROBE ON.
- NO.
NO.
JUST PUT YOUR LITTLE ROBE ON.
- HARRY, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
I NEED TO.
TOUCH--
- SIT DOWN.
- NO.
PLEASE DON'T TELL PETER.
- INITIAL REPORTS
CLAIM ISRAELI JETS--
- I'M SORRY, MR. BARCLAY APPEARS
TO SYMPATHIZE WITH ONE WHO--
- HEY, BUDDY.
YOU WANT A DRINK?
- WHATEVER YOU'RE HAVING.
- SINGLE MALT SCOTCH, STRAIGHT.
- FINE.
IS THAT WHAT SUCCESSFUL
REAL ESTATE TYCOONS DRINK?
- ONLY THE BEST.
BUSTING MY ASS FOR YEARS.
I HAD TWO HEART ATTACKS.
- SHIT.
- HOW'S YOUR HEALTH?
- A LITTLE ARTHRITIS.
- OH, YOU FUCKER.
- YOU EVER HEAR
OF A RETROGRADE EJACULATION?
WHEN I COME,
IT SHOOTS BACK UP
INTO MY BLADDER.
A $40,000 VASECTOMY THERE.
HEY.
GOD.
THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT UP
IS WITH VIAGRA.
- YOU'RE TELLING ME
MORE THAN I WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR PLUMBING.
WE'RE GETTING OLDER.
IT JUST HAPPENED
SOONER THAN WE THOUGHT IT WOULD.
- DO YOU REMEMBER...
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN...
WE WERE AT THE ACROPOLIS
IN ATHENS?
- YEAH, OF COURSE I DO.
- LAST YEAR,
I WENT TO EUROPE, RIGHT?
AND I GOT JUDY TO COME.
IT WAS HER FIRST TRIP.
AND WE WENT TO THE ACROPOLIS.
AND I'M STANDING THERE
IN THE EXACT SAME SPO
THAT I WAS STANDING
MY BRAIN'S FLIPPING.
ME THEN, ME NOW.
ME THEN, ME NOW.
ME THEN, ME NOW.
AND IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING
AFTER THAT JUST DISAPPEARED.
IT'S GONE.
- I GET THAT KIND OF FEELING
WHENEVER I THINK ABOU THAT NIGHT WE GOT KAGAN.
THAT WAS LIKE THE ACROPOLIS.
THAT WAS 1,000 YEARS AGO.
- KELLY DIDN'T WANT TO DIE
WITH IT ON HIS CONSCIENCE.
IT'S A LITTLE LATE.
HE WAS A LITTLE LATE, WASN'T HE?
- KAGAN'S IN MIAMI.
- ISN'T THA WHERE ALL THE QUEERS LIVE?
- YOU REMEMBER
WHO CRUSHED KAGAN'S HAND?
IT WASN'T ME.
- YOU SURE?
WE WERE ALL PRETTY SHIT-FACED.
I WAS...
I WAS ON TOP OF HIM.
AND...
AND HE WAS SCREAMING
BLOODY MURDER.
THAT'S ALL I REMEMBER.
- KELLY DIDN'T KNOW FOR SURE.
- I TELL YOU WHAT.
I'LL MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU.
I DON'T TALK
ABOUT MY FUCKING PLUMBING,
AND YOU DON'T TALK
ABOUT FUCKING KAGAN.
HOW'S THAT?
ALL RIGHT?
HUH?
COME ON, PUT IT HERE.
PUT IT HERE.
HERE WE GO.
ALL RIGHT, MY MAN.
- YOU CHICKEN SHIT.
YOU FUCK HEAD.
- HEY, DINNER'S READY.
- ALL RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF JUDY, HUH?
- YOU'RE A LUCKY MAN.
- YEAH, SHE'S LEAVING ME.
FUCK.
I GOT SOME NEW
REAL FINE WINE INSIDE.
YOU COME WITH ME.
clink!
- MM.
- MM.
- OH, THAT'S NICE, PETE.
- DO YOU HAVE ANY CHILDREN,
HARRY?
- I DO.
I HAVE A SON.
HE LIVES IN CHICAGO,
WORKS IN A BANK.
HE'S MARRIED.
NO KIDS.
AND HE'S ANGRY WITH ME
RIGHT NOW, I EXPECT.
OH, I'M SURE
HE LOVES YOU VERY MUCH.
OH, DID YOU KNOW
THAT PETER HAS A SON?
- YEAH, UH...
HARRY
WAS GONNA BE A PRIEST, YOU KNOW.
- OH, MAN.
- A CATHOLIC PRIEST?
HOW INTERESTING.
- YEAH, WE'D PULL INTO PORT,
AND WE'D GO OUT WHORING
ALL NIGHT.
AND THE NEXT MORNING,
HARRY WOULD BE RIGHT THERE
GOING TO MASS.
EVERY DAY.
UNBELIEVABLE.
- WHAT MADE YOU
CHANGE YOUR MIND?
- JUST LOST THE NEED TO.
- JUST LIKE THAT?
- NAH, IT WAS A LOT OF THINGS.
- WELL, WHAT THING?
OH, HARRY.
OH, COME ON.
- OKAY.
OKAY.
WE HAD THIS CATHOLIC CHAPLAIN
ABOARD SHIP.
AND I MADE AN APPOINTMEN TO SEE HIM,
TALK TO HIM ABOUT THESE
STRONG FEELINGS I'D BEEN HAVING.
I KNOCKED ON THE DOOR
TO HIS STATEROOM,
HE JUST SAYS COME IN.
SO I DID, AND THERE HE WAS,
SITTING IN FRONT OF HIS MIRROR
WITH HIS BACK TO ME,
BRUSHING HIS HAIR.
NEVER TURNED AROUND.
JUST SAID, "YEAH?"
AND I WAS A LITTLE PUT OFF
BECAUSE HE CARED
MORE ABOUT HIS HAIR
THAN HE DID ABOUT ME.
- I SAID, "FATHER,
I'M THINKING ABOU BECOMING A PRIEST."
AND HE TURNS AROUND TO ME,
NO SMILE, NO WARMTH.
I COULD SEE I IRRITATED HIM.
HE LOOKS AT THE INSIGNIA
ON MY ARM.
"ELECTRICIAN'S MATE?"
HE SAYS TO ME,
LIKE I'M SOME KIND OF
FUCKING TERMITE--EXCUSE ME.
I SAID, "JESUS WAS A CARPENTER."
AND HE GOES,
"I GOT A MEETING
WITH THE CAPTAIN."
AND HE TAKES OFF.
PTEW!
- THAT'S A TERRIBLE STORY.
- EH.
- GOD,
IT'S A FUCKING AWFUL STORY.
- I GUESS THAT WAS
THE BEGINNING OF THE END
OF ME AND THE PRIESTHOOD.
HE REALLY PISSED ME OFF.
AND I...GUESS I LOST SOMETHING.
BUT OF COURSE, YOUR HUSBAND
WASN'T A BIT SYMPATHETIC.
- NOT SYMPATHETIC.
- OH, REALLY.
- NOPE, NOT ME.
YEAH.
YOU KNOW,
I THINK HARRY SWEENEY HERE
WANTS ME TO GO WITH HIM
TO SEE OUR GAY NAVY BUDDY.
- I NEVER SAID THAT.
- THAT'S THE ONLY REASON
YOU CAME HERE, RIGHT?
- KAGAN WAS YOUR FRIEND TOO,
PAL.
- BEFORE I...
FOUND OUT HE WAS A SHIT-PACKER.
PETER DOESN'T LIKE HOMOSEXUALS.
OH, DID YOU KNOW
THAT HIS SON IS GAY?
- STOP.
I TOLD YOU, DON'T GO THERE.
YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT HIM
IN MY HOUSE.
- YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA TALK ABOU WHOMEVER I PLEASE.
- YOU LISTEN TO FUCK--
I TOLD YOU NOT TO FUCKING--
- WHEN HE FOUND OU THAT HIS SON WAS GAY--
- IN MY HOUSE.
- GET AWAY!
- TAKE IT EASY!
TAKE IT EASY.
- GET AWAY FROM ME!
- YOU'RE JUST A WHORE.
- SIT DOWN.
- HEY! YOU STAY OUT OF IT.
YOU FUCKER.
- YOU KNOW WHAT?
HE IS MORE OF A MAN
THAN YOU ARE.
- YOU BITCH.
- TAKE IT EASY, RHEEMS.
- WHORE.
- SIT DOWN.
- GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.
- YOU DON'T WANT I TO END LIKE THIS.
- YOU GET THE FUCK OUT,
AND YOU TAKE THAT FUCKING WHORE
WITH YOU.
GO ON.
FUCK.
- COULD YOU DROP ME OFF
AT THE BUS STATION?
- SURE.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
- I HAVE A DAUGHTER IN BOSTON.
YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER DONE
ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE...
IN THE BEDROOM.
I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME.
- IT WAS EXCITING.
- OH, GOD.
thunk!
- SHH.
DO YOU SING?
WHY?
- I DON'T KNOW.
I FEEL LIKE
I'VE SEEN YOU BEFORE.
WELL, YOU KNOW, BEFORE TONIGHT.
- WELL, I DO SING.
- A CAPELLA?
WAS IT THE EASTERN
QUARTER FINALS TWO YEARS AGO?
- THIS IS GETTING WEIRD.
I WAS A PAR OF AN ALL-WOMEN'S OCTET.
WE CAME IN SECOND.
- WOW.
WE CAME IN SIXTH.
- MM.
- OUT OF SIX.
- NO, YOU WERE GOOD.
I REMEMBER.
I DO.
SING TO ME.
- I ONLY DO
ONE PERFORMANCE A NIGHT.
- NO, NO, NO, COME ON.
SING TO ME, PLEASE.
- SHOW ME HOW.
- ALL RIGHT.
MM-HMM.
LET'S SEE.
OKAY.
AFTER YOU'VE GONE
AND LEFT ME CRYIN'
AFTER YOU'VE GONE
THERE'S NO DENYIN'
YOU'LL FEEL BLUE
YOU'LL FEEL SAD
YOU'LL MISS THE BESTEST PAL
YOU'VE EVER HAD
COME ON, JOIN ME.
- AFTER THE YEARS
both: WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER
- THE JOY AND THE TEARS
both: ALL KINDS OF WEATHER
OH, BABY
THINK WHAT YOU'RE DOING
YOU KNOW MY LOVE FOR YOU
WILL DRIVE ME TO RUIN
AFTER I'VE GONE
AFTER I'VE GONE AWAY
- DA-DA DA-DA, DA-DA
- BEE-BEE-BOP-BA-DU
ONE MORE TIME
AFTER I'VE GONE
both: AFTER I'VE GONE AWAY
- CHEE-CHA!
THAT WAS GREAT.
- THANK YOU.
UH...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
- HARRY,
CAN I SLEEP WITH YOU?
- DEPENDS ON
WHAT SIDE OF THE BED YOU WANT.
- I'LL TAKE THAT ONE.
- OH.
- COME HERE.
IT'S SO AMAZING TO ME
THAT IN SIX HOURS,
I CAN GO FROM SUCH SADNESS
TO SUCH HAPPINESS.
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME
THAT I'LL BE SAD TOMORROW.
- I'LL BE SAD TOO.
- VISITING?
- PASSING THROUGH.
- WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
- VISITING AN OLD FRIEND.
- IT'S NICE TO STAY IN TOUCH.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM
IN OVER 30 YEARS.
- I'M 29.
- CONGRATULATIONS.
- HOW COME
YOU'RE STILL THINKING ABOUT IT?
ABOUT VISITING HIM?
- I'M AFRAID
I MIGHT BREAK HIS JAW.
- 30 YEARS IS A LONG TIME
TO HOLD A PUNCH.
WHAT'D HE DO?
- NOTHING.
DID NOTHING.
- I DON'T THINK
IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
- WHERE DID YOU GET THE IDEA
THAT I GIVE A SHI WHAT YOU THINK?
SUCH A FUCKING COWARD.
- I'M REPRESENTING REASON
AS THE MOTOR ENERGY
OF THE COSMOS
IN POPULARIZING THAT TERM
WHICH SUGGESTED PERSONALITY
AND WILL.
ANAXAGORAS
GAVE AN IMPETUS TO IDEAS
WHICH WERE THE BASICS
OF ARISTOTELIAN PHILOSOPHY
IN GREECE
AND IN EUROPE AT LARGE.
CAN I HELP YOU?
- UH, PROFESSOR WILLIAM PORTER?
- YES.
- I'M HARRY SWEENEY.
- WHO?
- WE WERE IN THE NAVY TOGETHER.
- UH, I'M AFRAID
YOU HAVE THE WRONG MAN.
- WE WERE ELECTRICIANS
ON THE USS FORRESTAL.
I HAVE NEVER SERVED IN THE NAVY
NOR IN ANY BRANCH
OF THE MILITARY.
IN FACT,
I DO NOT BELIEVE IN WAR.
NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,
I HAVE A CLASS TO TEACH.
- DO YOU REMEMBER DAVID KAGAN?
- WHOEVER YOU ARE,
YOU BETTER LEAVE IMMEDIATELY
OR I'M GONNA CALL SECURITY.
- HE'S NOT TELLING YOU
THE TRUTH.
PROFESSOR PORTER ACTUALLY
GLORIED IN THE IDEA OF WAR.
HE BELIEVED
THAT ANY MAN FORTUNATE ENOUGH
TO HAVE FOUGHT A WAR
WAS MADE BETTER BY IT,
MIGHT EVEN BECOME GREA BECAUSE OF IT.
- ALL RIGHT,
YOU'VE HAD YOUR FUN.
NOW LEAVE.
- SUPPOSE I TELL THEM
WHAT WE DID TO DAVID KAGAN.
HOW'D THAT BE, HUH?
smack!
- OH, MY GOD.
- GET OUT.
UGH.
WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
- 20 MINUTES.
- WHY ARE YOU HERE?
- TOMMY KELLY CALLED ME.
REMEMBER HIM?
HE WANTED TO BE FORGIVEN
BY DAVID KAGAN BEFORE HE DIED,
BUT HE DIDN'T MAKE IT.
- WHAT HAS THIS
GOT TO DO WITH ME?
- I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHA YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THAT NIGHT.
- I DON'T MAKE A HABI OF REVISITING THOSE YEARS.
THE BOY I WAS THEN IS DEAD.
- TELL ME WHAT YOU REMEMBER,
AND I'LL DISAPPEAR.
YOU'LL NEVER
HAVE TO HEAR FROM ME AGAIN.
WE WERE IN DRY DOCK IN NORFOLK.
YOU AND KELLY CAME INTO THE SHOP
VERY ANGRY.
YOU SAID KAGAN HAD MADE A PASS
AT YOU IN THE SHOWER.
HE TRIED TO GRAB YOU.
KELLY SAID,
"LET'S GET THE COCKSUCKER."
AND WE DID.
- WHO PICKED UP THE ARMATURE?
- I ASSUMED IT WAS KELLY.
- DID YOU SEE HIM?
- NO.
IT WAS CHAOS.
WE WERE ALL ACTING LIKE SAVAGES.
IT WAS THE MOS REPREHENSIBLE THING
I'VE DONE IN MY WHOLE LIFE.
BUT WHY DENY
THOSE YEARS EVER HAPPENED?
- TO THE GHOSTS OF OUR PAST.
YOU KNOW, I DO HAVE
A PLEASANT MEMORY OF THOSE DAYS.
SITTING BELOW DECK
LISTENING TO KAGAN'S RECORDS.
THE HUM OF THOSE TRANSMITTERS
MIXING WITH OSCAR P.
FLYING ON THE 88s,
AND CHET BAKER
ON THE SNARE TRUMPET, MAN!
WE WOULD BE DOWN THERE
FOR HOURS.
UNTIL THAT LIEUTENANT--
WHAT WAS HIS NAME?
UH...
CRANE CAUGHT US.
MM.
- SO YOU'RE
KIND OF A BIG SHOT NOW, HUH?
- OH, YEAH.
BIG FROG IN A SMALL POND.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?
- I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY
BEING A FAILURE.
- A FAILURE.
"FAILURE" IS A BIG WORD, HARRY.
- I DON'T WANT TO FOOL MYSELF.
- YOU KNOW, I DON'T BELIEVE IN
WHAT MOST PEOPLE CALL GOD,
BUT I DO BELIEVE
THAT THERE IS A PURPOSE
TO ALL THIS.
- YEAH.
TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF US.
YES.
IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES.
WE'RE HERE TO LEARN.
- WHAT ARE YOU HERE TO LEARN?
- TO FORGIVE WILLIAM PORTER,
U.S. NAVY,
ELECTRICIAN'S MATE THIRD CLASS.
- YOU CAN'T FORGIVE HIM?
- I CAN'T FORGIVE...
WHAT WE DID.
YOU KNOW, HARRY,
THE TRUTH WAS STARING AT US
RIGHT IN THE FACE.
WE JUST COULDN'T SEE IT,
COULDN'T SMELL IT.
YOU AND I,
BEING FROM WHERE WE CAME FROM,
BEING AGAINST VIETNAM,
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN...
UNTHINKABLE.
AND IF WE HAD KNOWN BETTER,
WOULD WE HAVE BEEN
COURAGEOUS ENOUGH
TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, HUH?
AND YET,
WE WERE SURE AS HELL
BRAVE ENOUGH
TO NEARLY KILL A FRIEND.
- YOU MARRIED?
- I HAVE A LOVELY WIFE
AND A WONDERFUL SON.
HE'S A LIEUTENAN IN THE U.S. ARMY
FINISHING HIS THIRD TOUR OF DUTY
IN IRAQ.
- HE WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME.
STUPID WAR.
AND YET,
I HAVE TO TELL YOU, HARRY,
I AM VERY PROUD OF HIM.
SO...
YOU GOT PLANS?
YOU WANT TO COME OVER
TO THE HOUSE FOR DINNER TONIGHT?
- THANKS, BUT, UH...
NO, 20 MINUTES SEEMS TO BE
ABOUT THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF TIME
FOR THESE LITTLE REUNIONS.
- WHOA.
- HEY, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
- I'M GONNA PRAY FOR YOUR SON.
- THANK YOU.
YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF,
HARRY.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
- AS YOU WERE, SAILOR.
AM I TOO EARLY?
- NO.
PERFECT TIMING.
I WAS HALF EXPECTING
A CLERICAL COLLAR.
- IT NEVER HAPPENED.
- YOU'RE STILL WELCOME.
COME ON IN.
I WANT YOU TO MEET MY WIFE.
SARAH?
- GOOD MORNING.
- MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE.
- GOOD MORNING.
IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.
- DIDN'T I SAY I WAS HOPING
THE LORD WOULD GRACE US
WITH SWEENEY'S PRESENCE?
- YES, YOU DID.
- WELL,
I'M GLAD HE DIDN'T OBJECT.
- HEY, DID YOU EVER
TAKE UP GOLF?
- EH, FOR A WHILE BACK WHEN--
- WELL, I'M GONNA ASK YOU
TO INDULGE ME A LITTLE.
- HELLO.
- GOOD DAY, MARY.
- PRAISE THE LORD.
- PRAISE THE LORD.
- SARAH.
- WE'RE GONNA GO, DEAR.
NO, SARAH INSISTED THA I GET OUT ON THE LINKS WITH YOU.
I MEAN,
IT'S BEEN A WHILE FOR ME.
KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE,
SO TO SPEAK.
I DON'T MIND
BEING THE SECOND BIRD.
- THAT'S WHY WE SETTLED HERE
'CAUSE WE BOTH
LOVED THE GAME SO MUCH.
THEN SARAH
GOT HIT BY A DRUNK DRIVER
RIDING HER BICYCLE.
- OH, MY--
- YEAH.
IT BROUGHT US
CLOSER TO THE LORD.
- YOU WERE THINKING
OF RE-UPPING LAST I SAW YOU.
- WELL, I DID.
MADE MASTER CHIEF.
NO SHIT!
- YEAH.
- I NEVER TOOK YOU FOR A LIFER,
GEB.
- THERE YOU GO.
- SHOW ME THE WAY, GEB.
- OH, NO, GUEST HAS HONORS.
- ALL RIGHT.
THIS IS GONNA BE ABSURD.
- NO, JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN,
LEFT ARM STRAIGHT,
AND DON'T THINK ABOUT ANYTHING
BUT HITTING THAT LITTLE BALL.
- HOW MUCH TIME WE GOT?
- MARY CAN STAY FOR THREE HOURS.
- YOU DON'T WANT ME
TO GO TO YOUR HOUSE.
- I THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE
ABOUT AS MUCH FUN OUT HERE
AS WE'RE GONNA HAVE.
clink!
- YOU WANT TO
PUT SOME MONEY ON THIS?
- I DON'T BET ANYMORE.
- TOMMY KELLY DIED
THE OTHER DAY.
- SHIT!
- SORRY, GEB.
I GOT A LO I GOT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
- CAN I TAKE MY MULLIGAN?
- YOU USED TO BE
A GOOD LISTENER.
- YOU KNOW,
I'LL LISTEN ALL YOU WANT...
BUT IN THE CART.
clink!
OKAY.
START TALKING.
- YOU REMEMBER THE NIGH WE GANGED UP ON KAGAN?
- I FIGURED THAT MIGHT BE
ON YOUR MIND WHEN YOU CALLED.
- WHY'D YOU FIGURE THAT?
- 'CAUSE IT'S ON MY MIND A LOT.
- I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
ONCE WE STARTED HITTING HIM.
- IT'S PURE EVIL WHAT WE DID.
JUST KEPT PUNCHING, KICKING.
THEN KELLY PICKED UP
THAT ARMATURE OFF THE WORK BENCH
AND CRUSHED KAGAN'S RIGHT HAND
TO A BLOODY PULP.
AND THA TOOK THE FIGHT OUT OF US.
- YOU SAW KELLY DO IT?
- YOU THOUGHT IT WAS YOU?
- I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
WE WERE ALL SO GODDAMN DRUNK.
WE NEVER TALKED ABOUT I AFTERWARDS.
RHEEMS SAYS HE DIDN'T DO IT.
KELLY DIDN'T KNOW FOR SURE.
- KELLY.
KELLY ALWAYS
HAD A MEAN STREAK IN HIM.
HE HATED HOMOSEXUALS.
YOU KNOW, I HATED YOU FOR YEARS
FOR SICCING US ON HIM.
WHAT WE DID WAS A TERRIBLE SIN,
AND IT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED
IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU.
- BUT NOW THA THE LORD'S FAVORED YOU,
YOU DON'T HATE ME ANYMORE,
RIGHT?
- I DON'T HATE ANYONE.
PRAISE GOD.
YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD
GIVE YOURSELF TO JESUS, SWEENEY.
HE'S THE ONLY ONE
THAT CAN HELP US SINNERS.
WELL, HELL, LET'S JUST KNOCK
THIS LITTLE FUCKING BALL
AROUND HERE
AND PRETEND IT MATTERS.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME,
YOU COCKSUCKER?
- SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SOMETHING REAL!
- WE DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER
ANYMORE, SWEENEY, OKAY?
I DID 30 YEARS IN THE NAVY.
AND NOW I'VE GOT A WIFE
CAN'T MOVE A MUSCLE,
CAN'T EAT BY HERSELF,
CAN'T CLEAN HERSELF.
NOW, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN LIKE,
BUT IT AIN'T NO WAY LIKE MINE.
WE'RE DIFFERENT FOLKS,
YOU AND ME, SWEENEY.
WE'RE NEVER GONNA HAVE
WHAT WE HAD 30 YEARS AGO.
IT'S JUST--THERE'S JUST...
TOO MUCH WATER OVER THE DAM.
BUT IT'S POSSIBLE THAT--
THAT DIFFERENT-MINDED FOLKS
CAN HAVE A PLEASING
GAME OF GOLF TOGETHER.
AND IN THIS WORLD,
THAT'S SOMETHING.
- CAN I HUG YOU, GEB?
- NO FUNNY STUFF.
- SOMEBODY MIGHT COME IN.
- WE NEVER GET A CHANCE
TO BE NAKED TOGETHER.
- SOME DAY.
- LET ME TOUCH IT.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
- ARE YOU TRYING
TO PLAY HARD TO GET NOW?
- WHAT THE FUCK
IS GOING ON IN HERE?
- HE TRIED TO GRAB MY COCK.
- THAT'S WHA IT LOOKED LIKE TO ME, KAGAN.
- ARE YOU JEALOUS, KELLY?
- YES?
- YES, I WONDER
IF I COULD SEE DAVID KAGAN.
- UH, I'M SORRY, HE'S NOT HERE.
- DO YOU KNOW WHEN HE'LL RETURN?
- MAYBE ONE MONTH.
- COULD I LEAVE HIM A NOTE?
- YES. SURE.
- I DON'T, UH...
I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A PEN.
- UH, OH, OKAY.
COME IN, PLEASE.
- THANK YOU.
UH, WAIT HERE, OKAY?
OKAY.
- THANK YOU.
COULD YOU MAKE SURE
THAT MR. KAGAN GETS THIS?
- YES.
I MAKE SURE, OKAY?
DON'T WORRY.
- DO YOU HAVE A RECENT PHOTO
OF MR. KAGAN?
- UM...
- I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM
IN A LONG TIME.
- OKAY, ONE MOMENT.
ONE YEAR AGO, A BIRTHDAY.
- HE LOOKS GREAT.
- HEY, MYSTERY MAN,
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?
YOU TAKE OFF ON THE KAYAK?
- NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
- OH, IF YOU'VE
GOT A SECRET LIFE, HARRY,
WE GOT A RIGHT TO KNOW.
- HOW DO YOU FIGURE THAT?
- WE AIN'T GOT NO SECRETS
FROM YOU.
- WELL, I GOT SECRETS FROM YOU.
- MORNING, MURIEL.
- HARRY.
- MURIEL'S BEEN WORRIED
ABOUT YOU.
- I HAVE NOT.
- I THINK SHE THOUGHT YOU MIGH HAVE GOT HURT IN THOSE WOODS.
- MIGHT BE NICE TO HAVE SOMEBODY
WORRY ABOUT ME.
- IT WON'T BE ME.
- GOT TO GET YOURSELF
A CELL PHONE, HARRY.
POOR PAULEY WAS WORRIED SICK.
HE WAS GONNA CALL THE COPS.
I TOLD HIM
TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER DAY.
- JESUS CHRIST!
- WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU
TO JUST UP AND LEAVE.
- YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY
THE DOUBLE INDEMNITY INSURANCE
IN CASE
I GET ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
- THOUGHT DID CROSS MY MIND.
YOU MISSED REHEARSAL.
YOU ONLY GOT ANOTHER ONE
BEFORE THE CONCERT.
I CAN'T HAVE A QUARTE WITH THREE GUYS.
- I'LL BE THERE.
- YOU BETTER BE.
HERE'S TWO TICKETS
TO THE LIONS CLUB
DINNER DANCE TONIGHT.
I GOT TO RUN.
LISTEN.
YOU GIVE ANY MORE THOUGH
TO THAT PROPOSAL
I DREW UP FOR YOU?
- YEAH.
PAULEY CAN HAVE IT.
- OKAY.
- NOW ALL YOU GOT TO DO
IS FIGURE OU
WHAT TO DO
WITH THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
- MURIEL,

TO THE LIONS SHINDIG?
- NO, THANKS.
MURIEL?
- YES?
- HOW ABOUT YOU GO WITH ME?
- DON'T YOU GUYS SAY A WORD.
- PICK YOU UP AT 7:00?
- SURE.
WHY NOT?
- WE CAN'T KEEP UP WITH YOU,
HARRY.
- DON'T EVEN TRY, BABY.
- MORNING, PAULEY.
I HEARD YOU WERE LOOKING FOR ME.
- IT'S NOT FUNNY, HARRY.
I THOUGH SOMETHING HAPPENED TO YOU.
- EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL?
- YEAH.
FENTON SAID MY ESTIMATE
WAS TOO HIGH.
- AND?
- I SAID
THAT'S THE BEST I COULD DO.
IT'S THE BEST I COULD DO.
- GOOD FOR YOU.
- OH, AND THEN HE'S LIKE, UH,
"OH, I WAS JUST TESTING YOU,"
AND BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
I SAID, "YEAH, WHATEVER."
WE GOT THE JOB.
- YOU WANT TO STAY IN BUSINESS,
YOU GOT TO GET YOUR PRICE.
- WAIT A MINUTE.
WAIT A MINUTE.
DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE GONNA--
YOU'RE GONNA SELL ME THE PLACE?
- WELL, IF YOU AGREE
TO THE TERMS THAT SAM DREW UP.
I THINK THEY'RE FAIR
TO BOTH OF US.
- THIS IS THE HAPPIEST DAY
OF MY LIFE.
- OKAY.
LOOK AT THIS.
- OH, A FEW YEARS AGO, HUH?
- EH.
- WHAT ARE THOSE?
- UH, THAT IS FOR GOOD CONDUCT.
I THINK THAT'S NATO.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT ONE IS.
- SEE SOME ACTION?
- FIRED NO SHOTS IN ANGER,
NONE WERE FIRED AT ME,
AND I WAS
EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.
- OH.
IS THAT YOU?
SECOND FROM THE RIGHT?
- YEP.
- YOU WERE PRETTY GOOD-LOOKING,
HARRY.
- GIVE ME THAT.
- I MEAN--
- PAULEY,
I WANT YOU
TO TAKE THIS WHOLE BAG
TO THE DUMP YOUR NEXT TRIP.
- TO THE DUMP?
MAYBE YOUR SON
WOULD WANT SOME OF THIS STUFF.
- THE DUMP, PAULEY.
EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE PLACE
IS YOURS.
- THE CANOE?
- EVERYTHING.
- THE SNOWMOBILE?
- "EVERYTHING" MEANS EVERYTHING.
IT'S A LONG LIFE, PAULEY.
YOU'RE GONNA NEED SOME TOYS
TO GET THROUGH IT.
- THEN WHY YOU ALWAYS SAYING
LIFE IS SHORT?
- SOME DAYS IT'S LONG.
SOME DAYS IT'S SHORT.

MOVE TO YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS?
- WHAT?
- IF I WAS TO MOVE TO CHICAGO.
I MEAN, I WOULDN'T, UH...
I WOULDN'T WANT TO
COME LIVE WITH YOU GUYS.
I'D GET A CONDO OR SOMETHING.
AND THEN WHEN
YOU WERE HAVING BABIES, I--
- I DON'T REALLY THINK
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
I'M HAVING SOME PROBLEMS
WITH TRACY,
AND I DON'T KNOW
HOW LONG I'M GONNA STAY HERE.
MY BOSS IS REALLY GETTING ON ME,
AND I--
IT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD COMMIT TO RIGHT NOW.
- YEAH, NO, NO, IT WAS JUST A--
IT WAS JUST A WILD IDEA
I THOUGHT I'D TRY IT ON YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
- I GOT TO GO, DAD.
- I LOVE YOU, BOBBY.
click!
DID YOU KNOW
THAT I WAS A WAR HERO, DARLING?
NO.
- YOU'RE NOT IMPRESSED?
WARS ARE STUPID.
- DID YOU ALWAYS KNOW THAT?
- IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH
OF A BRAIN TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
- YOU'D BE SURPRISED
HOW STUPID A MAN CAN BE, MURIEL.
- YOU DON'T SEEM STUPID, HARRY.
- DUMB AS MUD.
- WE HAD A RAINY DAY
I'M IN A
SNAKE-BACK SITUATION
- MURIEL, I'M SORRY
TO HAVE BEEN BEEN SO PRISSY
ABOUT YOUR OFFER
OF A BIRTHDAY PRESENT.
- OH, IT'S OKAY.

JUST BE FRIENDS FOR A WHILE.
DINNER, MOVIE, SEE WHAT HAPPENS?
- I'D LIKE THAT.
- GREAT.
- DO YOU DANCE?
- I'M OKAY.

- UH, YEAH, I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
- UH-HUH.
TELL MURIEL I SAID HI.
- OKAY.
- GOOD TO SEE YOU, DAVID.
- YEAH, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU,
HARRY.
I GOT YOUR NOTE.
- I WAS TOLD
YOU'D BE AWAY FOR A WHILE.
- OR YOU WOULD HAVE
CAMPED OUT ON MY DOORSTEP?
- I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE.
- I HOPE YOU HAVE TIME
FOR A BITE TO EAT.
- MY TREAT?
- NOPE.
NEXT TIME.
AND WE HAVEN'T GOT MUCH TIME.
I'VE GOT A FLIGH THAT LEAVES ALBANY AT MIDNIGHT.
- AH.
OH, MY.
HOW'D YOU FIND ME?
- OH, I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN...
WHERE YOU WERE.
I HAVE SPIES EVERYWHERE.
AFTER YOU GOT OUT,
YOU WENT HOME.
YOU WENT TO WORK
FOR GARY BENNETT.
YOU MARRIED
ELIZABETH CUNNINGHAM,
HAD ONE CHILD, A BOY.
AFTER A WHILE,
YOU BOUGHT BENNETT OUT.
IT WAS A GOOD BUSINESS.
FIVE TRUCKS, EIGHT EMPLOYEES,
I THINK.
- OH, MY GOD.
- 12 YEARS AGO,
YOU DIVORCED ELIZABETH,
SIGNED THE ENTIRE BUSINESS
OVER TO HER--
I COULDN'T FIGURE OU IF THAT WAS GENEROSITY OR GUILT.
AND THEN YOU MOVED OUT HERE
TO START A NEW LIFE.
HOW'S THAT GOING?
- I SAW PORTER RECENTLY.
REMEMBER PORTER?
- MM.
- I TOLD HIM
MY LIFE HAD BEEN A FAILURE.
I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE I UNTIL I SAID THAT TO HIM.
- THAT'S SAD, HARRY.
WHAT MADE YOU COME OUT HERE
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?
- YOU CAME TO ME.
YOU SEEMED TO INDICATE
YOU STILL...
CARED FOR ME.
I WAS...
JUST WHAT THE HELL PROMPTED YOU
TO MOVE WAY OUT HERE?
- NO ONE KNEW ME.
AND THERE WAS A SMALL BUSINESS
FOR SALE.
YOU KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER GUYS?
- FROM THE FORRESTAL?
I WASN'T IN LOVE WITH THEM.
- KELLY CALLED ME
A FEW WEEKS AGO,
WANTED YOUR FORGIVENESS.
HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO HELL
FOR WHAT HE'D DONE.
- YOU TURNED ON ME, HARRY.
- I WAS SO GODDAMN SCARED.
ALL I COULD THINK
WAS WHAT IT WOULD MEAN
IF ALL THOSE GUYS KNEW
I WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH YOU.
YOU KNOW WHAT MY DAD
WOULD HAVE DONE TO ME?
AND, GOD, MY MOTHER.
I TOLD EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM
I WAS GONNA BECOME A PRIEST.
- AN AFFAIR?
NOT FOR ME.
I WAS READY
TO SPEND MY LIFE WITH YOU.
THIS IS IT.
HARRY?
WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER
ABOUT THE NIGHT IN THE SHOP?
- I REMEMBER
KELLY STARTED HITTING YOU.
THEN THE OTHERS.
I HIT YOU.
AT THAT POINT,
MY MIND GOES BLANK.
ALL THESE YEARS, I THOUGH I MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE ONE
WHO PICKED UP THE ARMATURE.
- BUT NOW YOU'RE SURE
IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE.
- I STOPPED AND SAW GEBHARD ON MY WAY DOWN TO MIAMI.
HE SAID IT WAS KELLY.
HE WAS SURE IT WAS KELLY.
- IS THAT WHAT HE SAID?
- YEAH.
EVEN KELLY THOUGHT IT WAS KELLY.
- I REMEMBER THAT NIGH VERY CLEARLY.
I WASN'T DRINKING.
IT WAS YOU, HARRY.
YOU PICKED UP THE ARMATURE,
AND YOU SMASHED MY HAND WITH IT.
YOU.
THE MAN I LOVED.
THERE WAS SUCH RAGE
IN YOUR FACE.
COME ON.
REMEMBER ROY HAYNES
AT THE VANGUARD?
DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA DA-DA!
TA-TA!
HIS EX-SAXOPHONIS SCREAMED AT HIM FROM THE BACK.
WE WEN TO THE STAGE DELI AFTERWARDS.
HOT PASTRAMI SANDWICHES.
I TOOK THE LIBERTY
OF HAVING TWO DELIVERED
WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS.
YOU LIKE THE COLESLAW.
COME ON.
I HAVEN'T GOT ALL NIGHT.
THANK YOU.
MY FATHER'S WINE.
TWO OF THE LAST BOTTLES
FROM HIS CELLAR.
DON'T LOOK SO GLUM, HARRY.
WHAT SHOULD WE DRINK TO?
- FORGIVENESS.
- LET'S DRINK TO FORGIVENESS
AS A GENERAL RULE.
IT'S BLESSED TO FORGIVE,
I'M TOLD.
WE COULD HAVE
HAD A GOOD LIFE TOGETHER.
- THE THOUGH NEVER LEAVES MY MIND.
- EAT.
TAKE THAT.
I DON'T WANT THAT.
YOU NEED THAT.
OOPS.
- YOU'RE A GOOD SINGER, HARRY.
- I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING
TONIGHT...
A LITTLE SECRET YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
ON SHORE LEAVE, I ACTUALLY SAW
YOU PLAY AT THE EL PASEO
THREE TIMES.
- YOU CAME AND SAW ME?
- YOU WERE UNBELIEVABLE.
- THREE TIMES?
- MM-HMM.
- YOU SAW ME TWICE AT EL PASEO
AND ONCE AT CATALINA'S.
- YOU SAW ME?
YOU DOG.
- YOU'RE HARD TO MISS, HARRY.
- TO US.
clink!
I NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU,
DAVID.
- I HAVE TRIED--
BELIEVE ME, HARRY,
I HAVE TRIED VERY HARD TO...
UNDERSTAND.
I THINK
THAT'S WHY I CAME TONIGH
TO SEE IF YOU COULD HELP ME.
- I'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.
- I BELIEVE YOU.
BUT I NEED TO
PUT THE BALL IN YOUR COURT.
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I'M USING SPORTS METAPHORS.
I'M MORE NERVOUS THAN I THOUGHT.
REMEMBER THIS?
I WILL FORGIVE YOU, HARRY,
IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE
THAT I SHOULD.
AND I WILL MEAN IT.
- THERE HE IS.
- HARRY, DID YOU CATCH ANYTHING
THIS WEEKEND?
- YEAH, I CAUGHT HELL.
- OH.
- HOW ARE YOU, PETE?
- HARRY, I'M GONNA NEED
SOME DEER MEAT, BUDDY.
- NO PROBLEM.
GOT A FREEZER FULL.
- MORNING, HARRY.
- YOU EVER GONNA FIX
THAT KAYAK OF YOURS, HANK?
- NICE TO HAVE A DREAM.
- YOU LOOK TERRIBLE.
- WAS OUT DANCING TILL DAWN.
- IT'S NOT MUCH FUN
DANCING BY YOURSELF.
YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED ME.
- [chuckles]
- DID YOUR SON REMEMBER?
- NO.
I NEVER REMEMBERED
MY DAD'S BIRTHDAY EITHER.
- OH, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
HEY.
THERE'S A RUMOR
YOU'RE SELLING THE BUSINESS.
I NEVER PLANNED ON
DYING IN THE SADDLE.
BESIDES, MURIEL,
I'M A YOUNG MAN.
I'M A TIGER.
- [chuckles]
THAT'S RIGHT.
AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
MY DAD RETIRED,
WENT TO LIVE IN FLORIDA,
DIED OF CANCER IN TEN MONTHS.
- WELL, I WON'T DO ANYTHING
PRECIPITOUS.
- BIG WORD
FOR SO EARLY IN THE MORNING.
MORNING, HARRY.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
I KNOW IT'S ON THE 27TH,
BUT I WAS OUT OF TOWN YESTERDAY.
- HE REMEMBERS. MY SON DIDN'T.
- I KNOW THE BIRTHDAYS
OF ALL MY CLIENTS.
DON'T TRY TO.
IT JUST STICKS IN MY HEAD.
OKAY, HERE'S THOSE FIGURES
YOU WANTED, HARRY.
THAT IS A SWEET DEAL FOR PAULEY.
YOU COULD ASK FOR MORE.
- I'M GONNA CHEW ON I A LITTLE BIT MORE, SAM.
MURIEL SAYS I'M GONNA DIE OF
CANCER TEN MONTHS AFTER I SELL.
- YOU KNOW, HARRY, ON AVERAGE,
MARRIED MEN LIVE LONGER
THAN SINGLE MEN.
IT'S A FACT.
- THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PROPOSAL,
DOESN'T IT, SAM?
- IT'S NOT.
IT'S JUST A FACT.
- I HEARD YOU CAN GE THE SAME BENEFITS WITH A CAT.
- SO GET A CAT.
- OR I COULD MOVE TO COSTA RICA,
GET MYSELF A BEAUTIFUL SENORITA,
LIVE THE LIFE OF RILEY
DOWN THERE.
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT,
"COSTA RICA?"
YOU CAN'T EVEN SPEAK SPANISH.
- AND WHERE WOULD I FIND
ANOTHER LEAD SINGER?
DON'T FORGET ABOUT REHEARSAL
ON WEDNESDAY.
- I'LL BE THERE.
WHAT?
- HOW ABOUT I COME OVER TONIGH
AND GIVE YOU A NICE
BIRTHDAY BLOW JOB?
IT'S A JOKE, HARRY.
- WHAT'D HE SAY, MURIEL?
- NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, HANK.
- MORNING, BOSS.
- ANYBODY CALL?
- UH, DOUG FENTON.
SAID HE WANTED AN ESTIMATE
ON A NEW HOUSE.
I TOLD HIM
YOU'D GET BACK TO HIM.
- YOU TAKE CARE OF IT.
- MAKE THE CALL?
- MAKE THE ESTIMATE.
- YOU WANT ME
TO MAKE THE ESTIMATE?
- WHAT'D I JUST SAY?
- IT'S A HUGE JOB.
- THEN YOU BETTER NO FUCK IT UP.
I'LL GO TO MRS. SCHROEDER'S,
PROBABLY NOTHING
BUT ANOTHER LIGHTBULB.
THEN I'LL HEAD OU TO DAN PARKER'S PLACE.
- WHAT IF HE ASKS ME WHY
YOU'RE NOT MAKING THE ESTIMATE?
- TELL HIM
I DON'T DO ESTIMATES ANYMORE.
TAKE MY CHEROKEE.
- OH, HEY.
UH...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
RIGHT?
- IT WAS YESTERDAY.
MRS. SCHROEDER?
- YES?
- IS THAT FRESH BANANA BREAD
I'M SMELLING?
- OH, THERE'S NO SURPRISING YOU,
HARRY SWEENEY.
- ONLY WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD,
ESPECIALLY FRESH BANANA BREAD
WITH COFFEE WITH CHICORY.
- DID YOU FIND OU WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS?
- OH, YEAH,
YOU HAD A COUPLE OF LOOSE WIRES,
BUT I TAPED IT UP REAL GOOD.
- WELL, I HOPE YOU'RE HUNGRY.
- I SKIPPED MY BREAKFAS ON PURPOSE.
I GOT MY TICKETS
FOR THE CONCERT,
AND I'M SITTING RIGHT UP FRONT.
- WELL, YOU'RE MY INSPIRATION.
- SOMETIMES YOU LAY IT ON
PRETTY THICK, HARRY SWEENEY.
- I COULD ALWAYS
MAKE MRS. WELLS MY INSPIRATION.
DON'T YOU DARE.
- NO?
- NO!
- OH, MY GOD, YOU MADE IT!
IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE YOU, SON.
- LISTEN, I WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE
ON YOUR BIRTHDAY,
BUT THIS PIECE OF JUNK
BLEW A HEAD GASKE
ON THE JERSEY TURNPIKE.
- YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED ME.
- I WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU.
- WELL, YOU DID.
YOU GOT ME GOOD.
YOU BEEN WORKING OUT?
- TRYING TO.
- YOU LOOK GOOD.
YOU HUNGRY?
- I WANT TO TAKE YOU OU TO DINNER.
EARLY DINNER.
- YOU KNOW,
UH, IT'S KIND OF HARD
TO FIND A GOOD RESTAURAN AROUND HERE.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
I'LL THROW A COUPLE OF STEAKS
ON THE GRILL.
HOW'D THAT BE, HUH?
HUH? HUH?
- THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
THAT'D BE GREAT.
- OKAY.
COME ON IN.
HOW LONG CAN YOU STAY?
- WELL, I HAVE TO GET BACK
TO WORK ON MONDAY.
I LOST TWO DAYS AND 700 BUCKS
TRYING TO GET HERE.
- OH, MY GOD.
- DO YOU MISS HOME?
- SOMETIMES.
HELLO.
- HEY, HARRY SWEENEY?
- YEAH.
- IT'S ME, KELLY.
- WHO?
- THOMAS KELLY.
ELECTRICIAN'S MATE, THIRD CLASS,
USS FORRESTAL.
- JESUS CHRIST.
HOW'D YOU FIND ME?
- THAT'S NICE.
IS THAT ALL YOU GOT TO SAY
AFTER 32 YEARS,
YOU SON OF A BITCH?
- IT'S JUS SUCH A DAMN SURPRISE.
HOW ARE YOU?
- I'M DYING.
I GOT A COUPLE DAYS, MAYBE.
- OH, SHIT, KELLY.
YEAH.
WELL...
LISTEN.
DO YOU REMEMBER THE NIGH
WE ALMOST...KILLED KAGAN?
I KNOW I'M GOING TO HELL FOR IT.
- WHEN DID YOU GET RELIGION?
- FUCK YOU.
I'M DYING.
AND I WANT YOU
TO COME AND SEE ME.
DON'T YOU HANG UP ON ME,
SWEENEY.
- LOOK.
I'LL BE DYING TOO.
WE ALL WILL.
- I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO KAGAN.
I NEED TO HAVE HIM FORGIVE ME.
- WELL, IF YOU CAN FIND ME,
YOU CAN FIND HIM.
- I DID.
HE'S IN MIAMI.
I CALLED HIM YESTERDAY,
BUT HE WOULDN'T TALK TO ME.
- WELL,
THAT'S THE END OF IT THEN.
- KELLY, WE WERE KIDS.
WE ALL SUFFERED FOR I IN OUR OWN WAY,
SO WHY DON'T YOU
JUST FORGIVE YOURSELF
AND DIE IN PEACE
AND DON'T BE SUCH A PUSSY?
WE BECAME MEN TOGETHER.
THAT MUST COUNT FOR SOMETHING.
- THAT COUNTS FOR A LOT.
- YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN HELP ME NOW.
- WHERE ARE YOU?
- I'M IN THE FUCKING
V.A. HOSPITAL OUTSIDE PHILLY.
- MY SON JUST DROVE DOWN
ALL THE WAY FROM CHICAGO
FOR MY BIRTHDAY.
HE'S ONLY HERE
FOR THE GODDAMN WEEKEND.
- I AIN'T GONNA MAKE I THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
I NEED TO SEE YOU, PLEASE.
- I'M GONNA HANG UP, KELLY.
- BLAST FROM THE PAST?
- YEAH.
OLD NAVY BUDDY.
HE'S DYING.
- YOU NEVER TALK TO ME
ABOUT THE NAVY.
- NOTHING MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.
SAW A LOT OF WATER.
I'VE PASSED MORE BUOYS
THAN YOU HAVE TELEPHONE POLES.
YOU WANT A BEER OR SOME COFFEE?
- I'M GOOD.
HEY, LISTEN.
SO UM...
I THOUGH WE COULD GO FISHING TOMORROW.
DAD.
- SHIT.
LOOK, BOBBY,
I GOT TO GO SEE THIS GUY.
I OWE HIM THAT MUCH.
I'LL GET BACK HERE
TOMORROW NIGHT.
- WELL, I NEED TO LEAVE
THE NEXT MORNING.
- THE GUY WAS MY BEST FRIEND.
LET ME, UH...PAY FOR THE CAR.
HUH?
HI, ROOM 2531, PLEASE?
HI, IT'S ME, TOMMY.
- OH, SHIT.
THIS IS HARRY.
HARRY SWEENEY.
THANKS FOR COMING.
ALL RIGHT,
LET ME TALK TO HARRY ALONE.
JANE.
HANDSOME HARRY.
YOU GOT OLD.
THAT'S RIGHT.
- WELL, I STILL REMEMBER
WHEN YOU LOST YOUR CHERRY
THAT NIGHT IN CIUDAD TRUJILLO
TO THE BEST-LOOKING WHORE
I'VE EVER SEEN.
- YEAH, WELL,
YOURS WASN'T SO BAD EITHER.
- THAT'S TRUE.
YOU REMEMBER THE NIGH
KAGAN TOOK US TO THE FIVE SPOT?
AND YOU TWO BUSTED MY BALLS
'CAUSE I NEVER
HEARD JAZZ BEFORE.
- YEAH.
- I TELL YOU, THAT WAS THE MOS BEAUTIFUL FUCKING SOUND
I EVER HEARD.
IN FACT,
THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST NIGHTS
I'VE EVER HAD IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE
MISERABLE LIFE.
I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH, HARRY.
I'M NOT EVEN THAT SORRY
TO SEE IT END.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL.
- YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HELL.
- YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
I'M PRETTY SURE IT WAS ME
WHO FUCKED UP KAGAN SO BAD.
- ALL FIVE OF US DID THAT.
- BUT...
I THINK I WAS THE ONE
WHO DROPPED THAT GENERATOR
ON HIS HAND.
- ARE YOU SURE?
WE WERE ALL SO FUCKING WASTED.
OH, HARRY.
JUST TELL HIM I'M SORRY.
PLEASE.
- I WILL.
- YOU PROMISE?
- I PROMISE, TOMMY.
- HEY, HARRY,
NEXT TIME YOU COME SEE ME,
DON'T COME FUCKING EMPTY-HANDED.
- I'M SORRY, BUDDY.
- OH, I HOPE THERE'S A GOD.
THERE'S GOT TO BE
MORE THAN THIS.
- HE NEEDS TO REST.
- YES, MA'AM.
- HEY.
YOU LOOK HUNGRY.
SHE IS THE BEST COOK.
- WE'LL BE BACK.
- OKAY.
- OKAY.
- I'LL SEE YOU LATER, BUDDY.
ONE NIGHT IN BARCELONA,
TOMMY AND I WERE ON SHORE
PATROLLING
THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT.
WE JUST MADE PETTY OFFICER,
AND IT WAS OUR FIRST NIGH ON PATROL.
AND IT WAS KIND OF QUIET,
SO WE TIED UP
AND WENT UP THE STAIRS
TO ONE OF THE HOUSES.
THE GIRLS FED US
TOMATO AND CHEESE OMELETS--
TO THIS DAY, THE MOS DELICIOUS MEAL I'VE EVER HAD.
AND THE GIRLS
YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY NO A PROPER STORY
AT THIS TIME ANYWAY.
- DON'T WORRY, MR. SWEENEY.
I'VE HEARD IT MORE THAN ONCE.
THE DEPUTY OFFICER CAME IN,
TWO OF THE GIRLS STOOD UP
AND SALUTED
WITH YOUR NIGHTSTICKS
BETWEEN THEIR LEGS.
TOMMY TALKED A LOT ABOUT YOU
OVER THE YEARS.
WHAT HAPPENED WITH KAGAN?
- TOMMY NEVER TOLD YOU?
- SOMETHING'S BEEN EATING A TOMMY EVER SINCE I'VE KNOWN HIM.
AND THIS LAST YEAR,
WHEN HE WAS SICK,
ALL HE COULD TALK ABOU WAS THAT HE'S GOING TO HELL
BECAUSE OF SOMETHING HE DID
IN THE NAVY.
AND ALL I KNOW
IS THAT YOU WERE INVOLVED,
AND THE TWO OF YOU DID SOMETHING
TO THIS MAN, KAGAN.
NOW, I WANT YOU TO TELL ME
WHAT WAS SO TERRIBLE
THAT HE THINKS
HE'S GOING TO HELL FOR IT.
- I DON'T THINK IT'D BE RIGHT,
MA'AM.
TOMMY WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU
IF HE WANTED TO.
- HELLO?
MOM, IT'S THE HOSPITAL.
UH, THIS IS HIS DAUGHTER.
THANK YOU.
- I, UH...
I'M...
I WISH I--
- OH, YOU...
BOTH JUST...
GO TO HELL.
- MR. SWEENEY!
I GOT THE NAMES OF MY DAD'S
FRIENDS FROM THE SHIP,
TRACKED THEM DOWN
ON THE INTERNET.
IT WASN'T THAT HARD, ACTUALLY.
I'M SURE
HE'D WANT YOU TO HAVE THEM.
THEY'RE ALL ON THE EAST COAST.
- HEY, I'LL TELL THEM
ABOUT YOUR DAD.
DO YOU THINK YOUR FATHER
WAS HAPPY?
- AT TIMES, HE WAS HAPPY.
- AT TIMES, YEAH.
WELL,
I BET YOU'RE A GOOD DAUGHTER.
- I GOT TO GET BACK INSIDE
TO MY MOM.
- DAVID?
DINNER IS READY.
SO HARRY, ARE YOU A--
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE, DAVID?
- A YEOMAN.
- AH.
- HARRY'S AN ELECTRICIAN.
- ELECTRICIAN'S
A SENSIBLE CHOICE.
IT'S A DAMN GOOD TRADE.
YOU CAN NEVER GET ONE
WHEN YOU NEED ONE.
- DAVID TYPES.
- DAVID IS A WONDERFUL
JAZZ PIANIST.
HE WAS THE STAR OF THE NEW
YEAR'S PARTY ABOARD THE SHIP.
EVEN THE CAPTAIN MADE A REQUEST.
- I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND IT.
IT WAS PERVERSE OF HIM NOT TO
CONTINUE HIS CLASSICAL TRAINING.
DID YOU KNOW THAT DAVID
WAS A FEATURED SOLOIS
WITH THE SANTA FE SYMPHONY
WHEN HE WAS 13 YEARS OLD?
smash!
beep!
- YEAH?
HELLO?
- RHEEMS.
PETER RHEEMS.
- YES.
IT'S HARRY SWEENEY
FROM THE NAVY.
- JESUS H. CHRIST.
SWEENEY!
HOW THE HELL ARE YOU?
IT'S BEEN A LONG FUCKING TIME.
- DID I CALL TOO LATE?
- OH!
FUCK NO.
HAPPY TO HEAR
YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.
WHAT'S UP?
- I SAW KELLY.
- KELLY, KELLY.
AH, KELLY!
RIGHT.
TOMMY KELLY!
- HE DIED THE OTHER DAY.
- YEAH?
WELL, THAT'S LIFE, ISN'T IT?
HEY, LOOK.
I BUILT THIS NEW HOUSE
WITH A BEAUTIFUL
FUCKING GUEST ROOM,
A VIEW, PRIVATE BATH.
ANYWAY,
I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE YOU.
- HOW FAR ARE YOU
FROM PHILADELPHIA?
- HEY, BUDDY.
GOD, YOU LOOK GREAT.
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED AT ALL.
- YEAH, WELL,
YOU LOOK LIKE SHIT.
- YEAH, FUCK YOU TOO.
- [laughs]
- WHERE'S THE FUCKING TIME GO,
HUH?
- I DON'T KNOW.
- JESUS.
HEY, HONEY,
HARRY SWEENEY'S HERE.
COME ON OUT.
MY GOD.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK
I'VE TOLD HER ANYTHING
ABOUT OUR YEARS TOGETHER
OUT THERE IN THE NAVY.
- GOOD THING.
- AND I DON'T THINK
SHE GIVES A FUCK.
- HI.
- JUDY, HARRY SWEENEY.
THIS IS MY WIFE, JUDY.
- NICE TO MEET YOU, HARRY.
- NICE TO MEET YOU.
- DID YOU BRING YOUR WIFE?
- UH, NO.
I--I'M DIVORCED.
- OH, I'M SORRY.
HOW LONG?
- UH, TEN YEARS, GIVE OR TAKE.
- LOOK, GUYS, WHY DON'T WE
DO SOME CATCHING UP INSIDE,
NOT OUT HERE ON THE PORCH.
FOLLOW ME.
- YOU'RE OUR FIRST GUEST, HARRY.
- YOU STOPPED ANSWERING
MY CHRISTMAS CARDS.
- YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE.
- SO KELLY BOUGHT THE FARM, HUH?
GEEZ.
WHAT WAS HE DOING?
- HE SOLD CARS.
ALWAYS HAD THE GIFT OF GAB,
KELLY.
AND YOU?
YOU STILL AN ELECTRICIAN?
- STILL A SPARKY, YEAH.
- STILL?
- YEAH.
YOU?
- I WAS A SPARKY FOR A WHILE,
BUT ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO,
I WENT INTO REAL ESTATE.
MADE A FUCKING FORTUNE.
- GOOD.
GOOD. GOOD.
I GOT TO USE THE HEAD.
- SURE.
GO AHEAD.
YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU'RE
THE FIRST ONE TO USE THAT TOILE
SINCE THE PLUMBER PEED IN IT.
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING,
YOU JUST HOLLER, ALL RIGHT?
- OKAY, THANKS, PETE.
snap!
- HARRY.
PETER WENT TO THE LIQUOR STORE.
HE WANTED TO GE A NICE BOTTLE OF WINE
FOR HIS GOOD OLD BUDDY.
ARE YOU SEXUALLY ACTIVE, HARRY?
IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION.
- NO.
- HOW LONG?
A LONG TIME.
- HARRY.
- YOU DON'T BELONG IN HERE.
- TOUCH ME.
- PUT YOUR ROBE ON.
- NO.
NO.
JUST PUT YOUR LITTLE ROBE ON.
- HARRY, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
I NEED TO.
TOUCH--
- SIT DOWN.
- NO.
PLEASE DON'T TELL PETER.
- INITIAL REPORTS
CLAIM ISRAELI JETS--
- I'M SORRY, MR. BARCLAY APPEARS
TO SYMPATHIZE WITH ONE WHO--
- HEY, BUDDY.
YOU WANT A DRINK?
- WHATEVER YOU'RE HAVING.
- SINGLE MALT SCOTCH, STRAIGHT.
- FINE.
IS THAT WHAT SUCCESSFUL
REAL ESTATE TYCOONS DRINK?
- ONLY THE BEST.
BUSTING MY ASS FOR YEARS.
I HAD TWO HEART ATTACKS.
- SHIT.
- HOW'S YOUR HEALTH?
- A LITTLE ARTHRITIS.
- OH, YOU FUCKER.
- YOU EVER HEAR
OF A RETROGRADE EJACULATION?
WHEN I COME,
IT SHOOTS BACK UP
INTO MY BLADDER.
A $40,000 VASECTOMY THERE.
HEY.
GOD.
THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT UP
IS WITH VIAGRA.
- YOU'RE TELLING ME
MORE THAN I WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR PLUMBING.
WE'RE GETTING OLDER.
IT JUST HAPPENED
SOONER THAN WE THOUGHT IT WOULD.
- DO YOU REMEMBER...
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN...
WE WERE AT THE ACROPOLIS
IN ATHENS?
- YEAH, OF COURSE I DO.
- LAST YEAR,
I WENT TO EUROPE, RIGHT?
AND I GOT JUDY TO COME.
IT WAS HER FIRST TRIP.
AND WE WENT TO THE ACROPOLIS.
AND I'M STANDING THERE
IN THE EXACT SAME SPO
THAT I WAS STANDING
MY BRAIN'S FLIPPING.
ME THEN, ME NOW.
ME THEN, ME NOW.
ME THEN, ME NOW.
AND IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING
AFTER THAT JUST DISAPPEARED.
IT'S GONE.
- I GET THAT KIND OF FEELING
WHENEVER I THINK ABOU THAT NIGHT WE GOT KAGAN.
THAT WAS LIKE THE ACROPOLIS.
THAT WAS 1,000 YEARS AGO.
- KELLY DIDN'T WANT TO DIE
WITH IT ON HIS CONSCIENCE.
IT'S A LITTLE LATE.
HE WAS A LITTLE LATE, WASN'T HE?
- KAGAN'S IN MIAMI.
- ISN'T THA WHERE ALL THE QUEERS LIVE?
- YOU REMEMBER
WHO CRUSHED KAGAN'S HAND?
IT WASN'T ME.
- YOU SURE?
WE WERE ALL PRETTY SHIT-FACED.
I WAS...
I WAS ON TOP OF HIM.
AND...
AND HE WAS SCREAMING
BLOODY MURDER.
THAT'S ALL I REMEMBER.
- KELLY DIDN'T KNOW FOR SURE.
- I TELL YOU WHAT.
I'LL MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU.
I DON'T TALK
ABOUT MY FUCKING PLUMBING,
AND YOU DON'T TALK
ABOUT FUCKING KAGAN.
HOW'S THAT?
ALL RIGHT?
HUH?
COME ON, PUT IT HERE.
PUT IT HERE.
HERE WE GO.
ALL RIGHT, MY MAN.
- YOU CHICKEN SHIT.
YOU FUCK HEAD.
- HEY, DINNER'S READY.
- ALL RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF JUDY, HUH?
- YOU'RE A LUCKY MAN.
- YEAH, SHE'S LEAVING ME.
FUCK.
I GOT SOME NEW
REAL FINE WINE INSIDE.
YOU COME WITH ME.
clink!
- MM.
- MM.
- OH, THAT'S NICE, PETE.
- DO YOU HAVE ANY CHILDREN,
HARRY?
- I DO.
I HAVE A SON.
HE LIVES IN CHICAGO,
WORKS IN A BANK.
HE'S MARRIED.
NO KIDS.
AND HE'S ANGRY WITH ME
RIGHT NOW, I EXPECT.
OH, I'M SURE
HE LOVES YOU VERY MUCH.
OH, DID YOU KNOW
THAT PETER HAS A SON?
- YEAH, UH...
HARRY
WAS GONNA BE A PRIEST, YOU KNOW.
- OH, MAN.
- A CATHOLIC PRIEST?
HOW INTERESTING.
- YEAH, WE'D PULL INTO PORT,
AND WE'D GO OUT WHORING
ALL NIGHT.
AND THE NEXT MORNING,
HARRY WOULD BE RIGHT THERE
GOING TO MASS.
EVERY DAY.
UNBELIEVABLE.
- WHAT MADE YOU
CHANGE YOUR MIND?
- JUST LOST THE NEED TO.
- JUST LIKE THAT?
- NAH, IT WAS A LOT OF THINGS.
- WELL, WHAT THING?
OH, HARRY.
OH, COME ON.
- OKAY.
OKAY.
WE HAD THIS CATHOLIC CHAPLAIN
ABOARD SHIP.
AND I MADE AN APPOINTMEN TO SEE HIM,
TALK TO HIM ABOUT THESE
STRONG FEELINGS I'D BEEN HAVING.
I KNOCKED ON THE DOOR
TO HIS STATEROOM,
HE JUST SAYS COME IN.
SO I DID, AND THERE HE WAS,
SITTING IN FRONT OF HIS MIRROR
WITH HIS BACK TO ME,
BRUSHING HIS HAIR.
NEVER TURNED AROUND.
JUST SAID, "YEAH?"
AND I WAS A LITTLE PUT OFF
BECAUSE HE CARED
MORE ABOUT HIS HAIR
THAN HE DID ABOUT ME.
- I SAID, "FATHER,
I'M THINKING ABOU BECOMING A PRIEST."
AND HE TURNS AROUND TO ME,
NO SMILE, NO WARMTH.
I COULD SEE I IRRITATED HIM.
HE LOOKS AT THE INSIGNIA
ON MY ARM.
"ELECTRICIAN'S MATE?"
HE SAYS TO ME,
LIKE I'M SOME KIND OF
FUCKING TERMITE--EXCUSE ME.
I SAID, "JESUS WAS A CARPENTER."
AND HE GOES,
"I GOT A MEETING
WITH THE CAPTAIN."
AND HE TAKES OFF.
PTEW!
- THAT'S A TERRIBLE STORY.
- EH.
- GOD,
IT'S A FUCKING AWFUL STORY.
- I GUESS THAT WAS
THE BEGINNING OF THE END
OF ME AND THE PRIESTHOOD.
HE REALLY PISSED ME OFF.
AND I...GUESS I LOST SOMETHING.
BUT OF COURSE, YOUR HUSBAND
WASN'T A BIT SYMPATHETIC.
- NOT SYMPATHETIC.
- OH, REALLY.
- NOPE, NOT ME.
YEAH.
YOU KNOW,
I THINK HARRY SWEENEY HERE
WANTS ME TO GO WITH HIM
TO SEE OUR GAY NAVY BUDDY.
- I NEVER SAID THAT.
- THAT'S THE ONLY REASON
YOU CAME HERE, RIGHT?
- KAGAN WAS YOUR FRIEND TOO,
PAL.
- BEFORE I...
FOUND OUT HE WAS A SHIT-PACKER.
PETER DOESN'T LIKE HOMOSEXUALS.
OH, DID YOU KNOW
THAT HIS SON IS GAY?
- STOP.
I TOLD YOU, DON'T GO THERE.
YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT HIM
IN MY HOUSE.
- YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA TALK ABOU WHOMEVER I PLEASE.
- YOU LISTEN TO FUCK--
I TOLD YOU NOT TO FUCKING--
- WHEN HE FOUND OU THAT HIS SON WAS GAY--
- IN MY HOUSE.
- GET AWAY!
- TAKE IT EASY!
TAKE IT EASY.
- GET AWAY FROM ME!
- YOU'RE JUST A WHORE.
- SIT DOWN.
- HEY! YOU STAY OUT OF IT.
YOU FUCKER.
- YOU KNOW WHAT?
HE IS MORE OF A MAN
THAN YOU ARE.
- YOU BITCH.
- TAKE IT EASY, RHEEMS.
- WHORE.
- SIT DOWN.
- GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.
- YOU DON'T WANT I TO END LIKE THIS.
- YOU GET THE FUCK OUT,
AND YOU TAKE THAT FUCKING WHORE
WITH YOU.
GO ON.
FUCK.
- COULD YOU DROP ME OFF
AT THE BUS STATION?
- SURE.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
- I HAVE A DAUGHTER IN BOSTON.
YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER DONE
ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE...
IN THE BEDROOM.
I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME.
- IT WAS EXCITING.
- OH, GOD.
thunk!
- SHH.
DO YOU SING?
WHY?
- I DON'T KNOW.
I FEEL LIKE
I'VE SEEN YOU BEFORE.
WELL, YOU KNOW, BEFORE TONIGHT.
- WELL, I DO SING.
- A CAPELLA?
WAS IT THE EASTERN
QUARTER FINALS TWO YEARS AGO?
- THIS IS GETTING WEIRD.
I WAS A PAR OF AN ALL-WOMEN'S OCTET.
WE CAME IN SECOND.
- WOW.
WE CAME IN SIXTH.
- MM.
- OUT OF SIX.
- NO, YOU WERE GOOD.
I REMEMBER.
I DO.
SING TO ME.
- I ONLY DO
ONE PERFORMANCE A NIGHT.
- NO, NO, NO, COME ON.
SING TO ME, PLEASE.
- SHOW ME HOW.
- ALL RIGHT.
MM-HMM.
LET'S SEE.
OKAY.
AFTER YOU'VE GONE
AND LEFT ME CRYIN'
AFTER YOU'VE GONE
THERE'S NO DENYIN'
YOU'LL FEEL BLUE
YOU'LL FEEL SAD
YOU'LL MISS THE BESTEST PAL
YOU'VE EVER HAD
COME ON, JOIN ME.
- AFTER THE YEARS
both: WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER
- THE JOY AND THE TEARS
both: ALL KINDS OF WEATHER
OH, BABY
THINK WHAT YOU'RE DOING
YOU KNOW MY LOVE FOR YOU
WILL DRIVE ME TO RUIN
AFTER I'VE GONE
AFTER I'VE GONE AWAY
- DA-DA DA-DA, DA-DA
- BEE-BEE-BOP-BA-DU
ONE MORE TIME
AFTER I'VE GONE
both: AFTER I'VE GONE AWAY
- CHEE-CHA!
THAT WAS GREAT.
- THANK YOU.
UH...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
- HARRY,
CAN I SLEEP WITH YOU?
- DEPENDS ON
WHAT SIDE OF THE BED YOU WANT.
- I'LL TAKE THAT ONE.
- OH.
- COME HERE.
IT'S SO AMAZING TO ME
THAT IN SIX HOURS,
I CAN GO FROM SUCH SADNESS
TO SUCH HAPPINESS.
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME
THAT I'LL BE SAD TOMORROW.
- I'LL BE SAD TOO.
- VISITING?
- PASSING THROUGH.
- WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
- VISITING AN OLD FRIEND.
- IT'S NICE TO STAY IN TOUCH.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM
IN OVER 30 YEARS.
- I'M 29.
- CONGRATULATIONS.
- HOW COME
YOU'RE STILL THINKING ABOUT IT?
ABOUT VISITING HIM?
- I'M AFRAID
I MIGHT BREAK HIS JAW.
- 30 YEARS IS A LONG TIME
TO HOLD A PUNCH.
WHAT'D HE DO?
- NOTHING.
DID NOTHING.
- I DON'T THINK
IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
- WHERE DID YOU GET THE IDEA
THAT I GIVE A SHI WHAT YOU THINK?
SUCH A FUCKING COWARD.
- I'M REPRESENTING REASON
AS THE MOTOR ENERGY
OF THE COSMOS
IN POPULARIZING THAT TERM
WHICH SUGGESTED PERSONALITY
AND WILL.
ANAXAGORAS
GAVE AN IMPETUS TO IDEAS
WHICH WERE THE BASICS
OF ARISTOTELIAN PHILOSOPHY
IN GREECE
AND IN EUROPE AT LARGE.
CAN I HELP YOU?
- UH, PROFESSOR WILLIAM PORTER?
- YES.
- I'M HARRY SWEENEY.
- WHO?
- WE WERE IN THE NAVY TOGETHER.
- UH, I'M AFRAID
YOU HAVE THE WRONG MAN.
- WE WERE ELECTRICIANS
ON THE USS FORRESTAL.
I HAVE NEVER SERVED IN THE NAVY
NOR IN ANY BRANCH
OF THE MILITARY.
IN FACT,
I DO NOT BELIEVE IN WAR.
NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,
I HAVE A CLASS TO TEACH.
- DO YOU REMEMBER DAVID KAGAN?
- WHOEVER YOU ARE,
YOU BETTER LEAVE IMMEDIATELY
OR I'M GONNA CALL SECURITY.
- HE'S NOT TELLING YOU
THE TRUTH.
PROFESSOR PORTER ACTUALLY
GLORIED IN THE IDEA OF WAR.
HE BELIEVED
THAT ANY MAN FORTUNATE ENOUGH
TO HAVE FOUGHT A WAR
WAS MADE BETTER BY IT,
MIGHT EVEN BECOME GREA BECAUSE OF IT.
- ALL RIGHT,
YOU'VE HAD YOUR FUN.
NOW LEAVE.
- SUPPOSE I TELL THEM
WHAT WE DID TO DAVID KAGAN.
HOW'D THAT BE, HUH?
smack!
- OH, MY GOD.
- GET OUT.
UGH.
WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
- 20 MINUTES.
- WHY ARE YOU HERE?
- TOMMY KELLY CALLED ME.
REMEMBER HIM?
HE WANTED TO BE FORGIVEN
BY DAVID KAGAN BEFORE HE DIED,
BUT HE DIDN'T MAKE IT.
- WHAT HAS THIS
GOT TO DO WITH ME?
- I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHA YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THAT NIGHT.
- I DON'T MAKE A HABI OF REVISITING THOSE YEARS.
THE BOY I WAS THEN IS DEAD.
- TELL ME WHAT YOU REMEMBER,
AND I'LL DISAPPEAR.
YOU'LL NEVER
HAVE TO HEAR FROM ME AGAIN.
WE WERE IN DRY DOCK IN NORFOLK.
YOU AND KELLY CAME INTO THE SHOP
VERY ANGRY.
YOU SAID KAGAN HAD MADE A PASS
AT YOU IN THE SHOWER.
HE TRIED TO GRAB YOU.
KELLY SAID,
"LET'S GET THE COCKSUCKER."
AND WE DID.
- WHO PICKED UP THE ARMATURE?
- I ASSUMED IT WAS KELLY.
- DID YOU SEE HIM?
- NO.
IT WAS CHAOS.
WE WERE ALL ACTING LIKE SAVAGES.
IT WAS THE MOS REPREHENSIBLE THING
I'VE DONE IN MY WHOLE LIFE.
BUT WHY DENY
THOSE YEARS EVER HAPPENED?
- TO THE GHOSTS OF OUR PAST.
YOU KNOW, I DO HAVE
A PLEASANT MEMORY OF THOSE DAYS.
SITTING BELOW DECK
LISTENING TO KAGAN'S RECORDS.
THE HUM OF THOSE TRANSMITTERS
MIXING WITH OSCAR P.
FLYING ON THE 88s,
AND CHET BAKER
ON THE SNARE TRUMPET, MAN!
WE WOULD BE DOWN THERE
FOR HOURS.
UNTIL THAT LIEUTENANT--
WHAT WAS HIS NAME?
UH...
CRANE CAUGHT US.
MM.
- SO YOU'RE
KIND OF A BIG SHOT NOW, HUH?
- OH, YEAH.
BIG FROG IN A SMALL POND.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?
- I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY
BEING A FAILURE.
- A FAILURE.
"FAILURE" IS A BIG WORD, HARRY.
- I DON'T WANT TO FOOL MYSELF.
- YOU KNOW, I DON'T BELIEVE IN
WHAT MOST PEOPLE CALL GOD,
BUT I DO BELIEVE
THAT THERE IS A PURPOSE
TO ALL THIS.
- YEAH.
TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF US.
YES.
IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES.
WE'RE HERE TO LEARN.
- WHAT ARE YOU HERE TO LEARN?
- TO FORGIVE WILLIAM PORTER,
U.S. NAVY,
ELECTRICIAN'S MATE THIRD CLASS.
- YOU CAN'T FORGIVE HIM?
- I CAN'T FORGIVE...
WHAT WE DID.
YOU KNOW, HARRY,
THE TRUTH WAS STARING AT US
RIGHT IN THE FACE.
WE JUST COULDN'T SEE IT,
COULDN'T SMELL IT.
YOU AND I,
BEING FROM WHERE WE CAME FROM,
BEING AGAINST VIETNAM,
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN...
UNTHINKABLE.
AND IF WE HAD KNOWN BETTER,
WOULD WE HAVE BEEN
COURAGEOUS ENOUGH
TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, HUH?
AND YET,
WE WERE SURE AS HELL
BRAVE ENOUGH
TO NEARLY KILL A FRIEND.
- YOU MARRIED?
- I HAVE A LOVELY WIFE
AND A WONDERFUL SON.
HE'S A LIEUTENAN IN THE U.S. ARMY
FINISHING HIS THIRD TOUR OF DUTY
IN IRAQ.
- HE WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME.
STUPID WAR.
AND YET,
I HAVE TO TELL YOU, HARRY,
I AM VERY PROUD OF HIM.
SO...
YOU GOT PLANS?
YOU WANT TO COME OVER
TO THE HOUSE FOR DINNER TONIGHT?
- THANKS, BUT, UH...
NO, 20 MINUTES SEEMS TO BE
ABOUT THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF TIME
FOR THESE LITTLE REUNIONS.
- WHOA.
- HEY, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
- I'M GONNA PRAY FOR YOUR SON.
- THANK YOU.
YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF,
HARRY.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
- AS YOU WERE, SAILOR.
AM I TOO EARLY?
- NO.
PERFECT TIMING.
I WAS HALF EXPECTING
A CLERICAL COLLAR.
- IT NEVER HAPPENED.
- YOU'RE STILL WELCOME.
COME ON IN.
I WANT YOU TO MEET MY WIFE.
SARAH?
- GOOD MORNING.
- MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE.
- GOOD MORNING.
IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.
- DIDN'T I SAY I WAS HOPING
THE LORD WOULD GRACE US
WITH SWEENEY'S PRESENCE?
- YES, YOU DID.
- WELL,
I'M GLAD HE DIDN'T OBJECT.
- HEY, DID YOU EVER
TAKE UP GOLF?
- EH, FOR A WHILE BACK WHEN--
- WELL, I'M GONNA ASK YOU
TO INDULGE ME A LITTLE.
- HELLO.
- GOOD DAY, MARY.
- PRAISE THE LORD.
- PRAISE THE LORD.
- SARAH.
- WE'RE GONNA GO, DEAR.
NO, SARAH INSISTED THA I GET OUT ON THE LINKS WITH YOU.
I MEAN,
IT'S BEEN A WHILE FOR ME.
KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE,
SO TO SPEAK.
I DON'T MIND
BEING THE SECOND BIRD.
- THAT'S WHY WE SETTLED HERE
'CAUSE WE BOTH
LOVED THE GAME SO MUCH.
THEN SARAH
GOT HIT BY A DRUNK DRIVER
RIDING HER BICYCLE.
- OH, MY--
- YEAH.
IT BROUGHT US
CLOSER TO THE LORD.
- YOU WERE THINKING
OF RE-UPPING LAST I SAW YOU.
- WELL, I DID.
MADE MASTER CHIEF.
NO SHIT!
- YEAH.
- I NEVER TOOK YOU FOR A LIFER,
GEB.
- THERE YOU GO.
- SHOW ME THE WAY, GEB.
- OH, NO, GUEST HAS HONORS.
- ALL RIGHT.
THIS IS GONNA BE ABSURD.
- NO, JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN,
LEFT ARM STRAIGHT,
AND DON'T THINK ABOUT ANYTHING
BUT HITTING THAT LITTLE BALL.
- HOW MUCH TIME WE GOT?
- MARY CAN STAY FOR THREE HOURS.
- YOU DON'T WANT ME
TO GO TO YOUR HOUSE.
- I THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE
ABOUT AS MUCH FUN OUT HERE
AS WE'RE GONNA HAVE.
clink!
- YOU WANT TO
PUT SOME MONEY ON THIS?
- I DON'T BET ANYMORE.
- TOMMY KELLY DIED
THE OTHER DAY.
- SHIT!
- SORRY, GEB.
I GOT A LO I GOT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
- CAN I TAKE MY MULLIGAN?
- YOU USED TO BE
A GOOD LISTENER.
- YOU KNOW,
I'LL LISTEN ALL YOU WANT...
BUT IN THE CART.
clink!
OKAY.
START TALKING.
- YOU REMEMBER THE NIGH WE GANGED UP ON KAGAN?
- I FIGURED THAT MIGHT BE
ON YOUR MIND WHEN YOU CALLED.
- WHY'D YOU FIGURE THAT?
- 'CAUSE IT'S ON MY MIND A LOT.
- I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
ONCE WE STARTED HITTING HIM.
- IT'S PURE EVIL WHAT WE DID.
JUST KEPT PUNCHING, KICKING.
THEN KELLY PICKED UP
THAT ARMATURE OFF THE WORK BENCH
AND CRUSHED KAGAN'S RIGHT HAND
TO A BLOODY PULP.
AND THA TOOK THE FIGHT OUT OF US.
- YOU SAW KELLY DO IT?
- YOU THOUGHT IT WAS YOU?
- I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
WE WERE ALL SO GODDAMN DRUNK.
WE NEVER TALKED ABOUT I AFTERWARDS.
RHEEMS SAYS HE DIDN'T DO IT.
KELLY DIDN'T KNOW FOR SURE.
- KELLY.
KELLY ALWAYS
HAD A MEAN STREAK IN HIM.
HE HATED HOMOSEXUALS.
YOU KNOW, I HATED YOU FOR YEARS
FOR SICCING US ON HIM.
WHAT WE DID WAS A TERRIBLE SIN,
AND IT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED
IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU.
- BUT NOW THA THE LORD'S FAVORED YOU,
YOU DON'T HATE ME ANYMORE,
RIGHT?
- I DON'T HATE ANYONE.
PRAISE GOD.
YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD
GIVE YOURSELF TO JESUS, SWEENEY.
HE'S THE ONLY ONE
THAT CAN HELP US SINNERS.
WELL, HELL, LET'S JUST KNOCK
THIS LITTLE FUCKING BALL
AROUND HERE
AND PRETEND IT MATTERS.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME,
YOU COCKSUCKER?
- SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SOMETHING REAL!
- WE DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER
ANYMORE, SWEENEY, OKAY?
I DID 30 YEARS IN THE NAVY.
AND NOW I'VE GOT A WIFE
CAN'T MOVE A MUSCLE,
CAN'T EAT BY HERSELF,
CAN'T CLEAN HERSELF.
NOW, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN LIKE,
BUT IT AIN'T NO WAY LIKE MINE.
WE'RE DIFFERENT FOLKS,
YOU AND ME, SWEENEY.
WE'RE NEVER GONNA HAVE
WHAT WE HAD 30 YEARS AGO.
IT'S JUST--THERE'S JUST...
TOO MUCH WATER OVER THE DAM.
BUT IT'S POSSIBLE THAT--
THAT DIFFERENT-MINDED FOLKS
CAN HAVE A PLEASING
GAME OF GOLF TOGETHER.
AND IN THIS WORLD,
THAT'S SOMETHING.
- CAN I HUG YOU, GEB?
- NO FUNNY STUFF.
- SOMEBODY MIGHT COME IN.
- WE NEVER GET A CHANCE
TO BE NAKED TOGETHER.
- SOME DAY.
- LET ME TOUCH IT.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
- ARE YOU TRYING
TO PLAY HARD TO GET NOW?
- WHAT THE FUCK
IS GOING ON IN HERE?
- HE TRIED TO GRAB MY COCK.
- THAT'S WHA IT LOOKED LIKE TO ME, KAGAN.
- ARE YOU JEALOUS, KELLY?
- YES?
- YES, I WONDER
IF I COULD SEE DAVID KAGAN.
- UH, I'M SORRY, HE'S NOT HERE.
- DO YOU KNOW WHEN HE'LL RETURN?
- MAYBE ONE MONTH.
- COULD I LEAVE HIM A NOTE?
- YES. SURE.
- I DON'T, UH...
I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A PEN.
- UH, OH, OKAY.
COME IN, PLEASE.
- THANK YOU.
UH, WAIT HERE, OKAY?
OKAY.
- THANK YOU.
COULD YOU MAKE SURE
THAT MR. KAGAN GETS THIS?
- YES.
I MAKE SURE, OKAY?
DON'T WORRY.
- DO YOU HAVE A RECENT PHOTO
OF MR. KAGAN?
- UM...
- I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM
IN A LONG TIME.
- OKAY, ONE MOMENT.
ONE YEAR AGO, A BIRTHDAY.
- HE LOOKS GREAT.
- HEY, MYSTERY MAN,
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?
YOU TAKE OFF ON THE KAYAK?
- NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
- OH, IF YOU'VE
GOT A SECRET LIFE, HARRY,
WE GOT A RIGHT TO KNOW.
- HOW DO YOU FIGURE THAT?
- WE AIN'T GOT NO SECRETS
FROM YOU.
- WELL, I GOT SECRETS FROM YOU.

POOR PAULEY WAS WORRIED SICK.
HE WAS GONNA CALL THE COPS.
I TOLD HIM

- OKAY.
LOOK AT THIS.
- OH, A FEW YEARS AGO, HUH?

- UH, THAT IS FOR GOOD CONDUCT.
I THINK THAT'S NATO.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT ONE IS.

NONE WERE FIRED AT ME,
AND I WAS
EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.
- OH.

I'M HAVING SOME PROBLEMS

- UH-HUH.
TELL MURIEL I SAID HI.
- OKAY.
- GOOD TO SEE YOU, DAVID.
- YEAH, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU,
HARRY.
I GOT YOUR NOTE.
- I WAS TOLD
YOU'D BE AWAY FOR A WHILE.
- OR YOU WOULD HAVE
CAMPED OUT ON MY DOORSTEP?
- I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE.
- I HOPE YOU HAVE TIME
FOR A BITE TO EAT.
- MY TREAT?
- NOPE.
NEXT TIME.
AND WE HAVEN'T GOT MUCH TIME.
I'VE GOT A FLIGH THAT LEAVES ALBANY AT MIDNIGHT.
- AH.
OH, MY.
HOW'D YOU FIND ME?
- OH, I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN...
WHERE YOU WERE.
I HAVE SPIES EVERYWHERE.
AFTER YOU GOT OUT,
YOU WENT HOME.
YOU WENT TO WORK
FOR GARY BENNETT.
YOU MARRIED
ELIZABETH CUNNINGHAM,
HAD ONE CHILD, A BOY.
AFTER A WHILE,
YOU BOUGHT BENNETT OUT.
IT WAS A GOOD BUSINESS.
FIVE TRUCKS, EIGHT EMPLOYEES,
I THINK.
- OH, MY GOD.
- 12 YEARS AGO,
YOU DIVORCED ELIZABETH,
SIGNED THE ENTIRE BUSINESS
OVER TO HER--
I COULDN'T FIGURE OU IF THAT WAS GENEROSITY OR GUILT.
AND THEN YOU MOVED OUT HERE
TO START A NEW LIFE.
HOW'S THAT GOING?
- I SAW PORTER RECENTLY.
REMEMBER PORTER?
- MM.
- I TOLD HIM
MY LIFE HAD BEEN A FAILURE.
I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE I UNTIL I SAID THAT TO HIM.
- THAT'S SAD, HARRY.
WHAT MADE YOU COME OUT HERE
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?
- YOU CAME TO ME.
YOU SEEMED TO INDICATE
YOU STILL...
CARED FOR ME.
I WAS...
JUST WHAT THE HELL PROMPTED YOU
TO MOVE WAY OUT HERE?
- NO ONE KNEW ME.
AND THERE WAS A SMALL BUSINESS
FOR SALE.
YOU KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER GUYS?
- FROM THE FORRESTAL?
I WASN'T IN LOVE WITH THEM.
- KELLY CALLED ME
A FEW WEEKS AGO,
WANTED YOUR FORGIVENESS.
HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO HELL
FOR WHAT HE'D DONE.
- YOU TURNED ON ME, HARRY.
- I WAS SO GODDAMN SCARED.
ALL I COULD THINK
WAS WHAT IT WOULD MEAN
IF ALL THOSE GUYS KNEW
I WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH YOU.
YOU KNOW WHAT MY DAD
WOULD HAVE DONE TO ME?
AND, GOD, MY MOTHER.
I TOLD EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM
I WAS GONNA BECOME A PRIEST.
- AN AFFAIR?
NOT FOR ME.
I WAS READY
TO SPEND MY LIFE WITH YOU.
THIS IS IT.
HARRY?
WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER
ABOUT THE NIGHT IN THE SHOP?
- I REMEMBER
KELLY STARTED HITTING YOU.
THEN THE OTHERS.
I HIT YOU.
AT THAT POINT,
MY MIND GOES BLANK.
ALL THESE YEARS, I THOUGH I MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE ONE
WHO PICKED UP THE ARMATURE.
- BUT NOW YOU'RE SURE
IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE.
- I STOPPED AND SAW GEBHARD ON MY WAY DOWN TO MIAMI.
HE SAID IT WAS KELLY.
HE WAS SURE IT WAS KELLY.
- IS THAT WHAT HE SAID?
- YEAH.
EVEN KELLY THOUGHT IT WAS KELLY.
- I REMEMBER THAT NIGH VERY CLEARLY.
I WASN'T DRINKING.
IT WAS YOU, HARRY.
YOU PICKED UP THE ARMATURE,
AND YOU SMASHED MY HAND WITH IT.
YOU.
THE MAN I LOVED.
THERE WAS SUCH RAGE
IN YOUR FACE.
COME ON.
REMEMBER ROY HAYNES
AT THE VANGUARD?
DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA DA-DA!
TA-TA!
HIS EX-SAXOPHONIS SCREAMED AT HIM FROM THE BACK.
WE WEN TO THE STAGE DELI AFTERWARDS.
HOT PASTRAMI SANDWICHES.
I TOOK THE LIBERTY
OF HAVING TWO DELIVERED
WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS.
YOU LIKE THE COLESLAW.
COME ON.
I HAVEN'T GOT ALL NIGHT.
THANK YOU.
MY FATHER'S WINE.
TWO OF THE LAST BOTTLES
FROM HIS CELLAR.
DON'T LOOK SO GLUM, HARRY.
WHAT SHOULD WE DRINK TO?
- FORGIVENESS.
- LET'S DRINK TO FORGIVENESS
AS A GENERAL RULE.
IT'S BLESSED TO FORGIVE,
I'M TOLD.
WE COULD HAVE
HAD A GOOD LIFE TOGETHER.
- THE THOUGH NEVER LEAVES MY MIND.
- EAT.
TAKE THAT.
I DON'T WANT THAT.
YOU NEED THAT.
OOPS.
- YOU'RE A GOOD SINGER, HARRY.
- I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING
TONIGHT...
A LITTLE SECRET YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
ON SHORE LEAVE, I ACTUALLY SAW
YOU PLAY AT THE EL PASEO
THREE TIMES.
- YOU CAME AND SAW ME?
- YOU WERE UNBELIEVABLE.
- THREE TIMES?
- MM-HMM.
- YOU SAW ME TWICE AT EL PASEO
AND ONCE AT CATALINA'S.
- YOU SAW ME?
YOU DOG.
- YOU'RE HARD TO MISS, HARRY.
- TO US.
clink!
I NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU,
DAVID.
- I HAVE TRIED--
BELIEVE ME, HARRY,
I HAVE TRIED VERY HARD TO...
UNDERSTAND.
I THINK
THAT'S WHY I CAME TONIGH
TO SEE IF YOU COULD HELP ME.
- I'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.
- I BELIEVE YOU.
BUT I NEED TO
PUT THE BALL IN YOUR COURT.
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I'M USING SPORTS METAPHORS.
I'M MORE NERVOUS THAN I THOUGHT.
REMEMBER THIS?
I WILL FORGIVE YOU, HARRY,
IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE
THAT I SHOULD.
AND I WILL MEAN IT.
