Yeah, me too. [He sways gently with the nudge.] Are you threatening me?
[Freddy puffs cigarette smoke at Larry.]
[Freddy puffs cigarette smoke at Larry.]
No. Warnin' you. Don't fall in with a bad crowd. Watch your mouth.
[Now he's got something to wave away from his face. Shit kid. Though he is reaching for a smoke of his very own.]
Then you're really gonna get in trouble.

You like my mouth.
[He says around his cigarette with complete confidence...and a tip of his Iron Man cap.]
[He says around his cigarette with complete confidence...and a tip of his Iron Man cap.]
So that mean you're not gonna watch what you say?
[Clink. His metal lighter shuts as his Chesterfield is ignited.]
I don't wanna be encouraging bad behavior.

Somebody's gotta keep you on your fuckin' toes at your age.
[Flippant as he is it's all really just a joke to this kid. Don't take the age rap personally, old man. Well, maybe do take it personally it it'll only incite Larry to other things.]

Somebody's gotta be sure you know your place at your age.
[Simple, smooth answer for that flippancy.]
Especially around a person my age.
[A whole lung full of smoke comes out, not in rings but slowly through the old man's nose.]
Though I don't suppose your Momma or your Daddy taught what I've got to teach you.
[And it ain't respect kid. Consider Larry incited.]

Yeah? Not on top of the world? [Which could just as easily double for not on top of you? He's musing aloud because obviously the kid's not gonna give up the charade first.]
Nope, they sure haven't. [He shakes his head, speckling ash onto the sidewalk.] Cause it takes a special kinda guy [Note; not a person, a guy.] to do that, someone who can handle all this.
[Floppy hair, cigarette, giant gorilla, light up yoyo, Iron Man cap, yep.]

No, sir. The world gets to people. You gotta bend to it [or this old man who is walking at his side] or break.
[Special guy, huh? Larry pretends his amusement is only because of the pluck.]
I'm that motherfucker. [Your guy.] So you better watch it.

[The good news is that they're living in a monkey toy free environment. There's more good news. Larry's thinking it over as he's waiting for the other man to come on in. They have the diamonds. One more positive outcome from the heist, that doesn't even involve lies or truth.
Freddy deserves to know. And if the old man keeps the diamonds to himself, he'd be no better than Pink.
So. The waiting. It's the hardest part.]

[Freddy finally wanders in looking a little tired complete with marks on his nose from a monkey thumping and non-monkey related hazards, but the monkey one is the most visible.]
Jose Cuervo, please.
Jose Cuervo, please.
You got it.
[This is their safe haven. What makes this different from any other conversation they'll ever ave?
Beside of the subject matter?
Jose Cuervo in one of Freddy's glasses even.]
We're monkey free. So you know.

We're monkey free. So you know.
Thank Christ. [There's a nod of thanks for the glass too, which he knocks back for a gulp at the kitchen.]
Did you have to get rid of any or did we just get lucky?
Did you have to get rid of any or did we just get lucky?
We're lucky. Haven't you learned that yet?
[Say, a hard drink sounds like something Larry should get about now too.
The beginnings of a talk so far have not yet come past his lips. Give the kid a minute or two to breathe, then go. It's got to come out. The truth and all that...]

I got an idea, yeah.
[For that the kid actually smiles. Another gulp down the hatchet follows.] That all you did today?
[For that the kid actually smiles. Another gulp down the hatchet follows.] That all you did today?
No.
[Worked and felt out who was trustworthy in appraising diamonds.]
So. I dunno how to say this so I'm just gonna, when I was with Pink the other day...I found somethin' out. Now, before you go talking about what should and shouldn't be done about it, remember that it's owed to you too.

.........Okay.
[He's not on edge just yet but he's curious, wanting to know what the hell that could be and if it's a big deal Pink is involved by virtue of being cuffed to the old man. What a weekend. What could be owed to him anyway? Another Green Lantern ring?]

[Sip to clean his palette. Not for courage, it's Freddy.]
He has the diamonds.
He has the diamonds.
[He's sipping too...and that mouthful goes spraying out over the counter.]
What.
What.
[Whoops. Larry grabs a dish towel and sets out to mop it up.]
Uh huh. About all of em, I wager.
Uh huh. About all of em, I wager.
[Cough cough cough. Mouth wipe.]
Are you fucking shitting me? [His gratitude for Larry mopping that up goes without saying, right.]
Are you fucking shitting me? [His gratitude for Larry mopping that up goes without saying, right.]
No. I'm not. He said he was keepin' it.
[There's not all that much on the counter, but he keeps on soaking it up until he's sure there isn't a drop left.]
I insisted we collect our cuts. We earned it.
[That can be a point to agree on, right?]

[Freddy has to put his glass aside.] I didn't.
[Earn it, he means, and Larry knows why.]
[Earn it, he means, and Larry knows why.]
Yes and no.
[Larry drinks down his portion. Where is this gonna go? Is he going to be asked to surrender his part? Not after that. He'll do a lotta things, but it's the principle of the matter. They bled for those diamonds, each with their own reasons.]
Pink said he didn't wanna tell us because he doesn't trust you.
[Freddy knows why of course.]
If you don't take it, that'd be some kind of give away, wouldn't it?

That's like tellin' me if I don't snort the blow then I'm not going home cause I'm some kind of rat.
[Which he is, but he doesn't like the idea of that logic being used here even if it's a safe option.]
[Which he is, but he doesn't like the idea of that logic being used here even if it's a safe option.]
[He already snorted something and that ended up for the worse...which was the old man's doing.]
I don't want you to be exposed. And... I dunno, I spoke up for your part too.
[Larry rakes a hand through his hair.]
I told Pink I trust you. That don't change. It won't. [Let's put that to bed right here.] He knows I look out for you.
[And he asked for his cut so....]
