Most scenes with: Frank Ridgeway (2)
There were so many things I wanted to say to him, so many questions I wanted to ask. But Eddie and I, we had a deal, we had talked about the future. We thought the present was so fine, why ruin it by planning ahead? But as Eddie drove off, I knew, I knew it then... it wasn't gonna be any future. In the morning, they told me that Eddie was gone, and they hadn't found his body.
Frank, I know you're gonna think I'm crazy. But I have to tell you something. Last night, there was a car sitting in my driveway: a '57 Chevy, just like Eddie's.
Joann, that car was destroyed in the accident, remember?
I know, but whoever it was, must have seen me looking out the window. He blinked his headlights high, then low, then high again, just like Eddie.
It can't be. It can't be him.
Well, who then? Who?
It's not Eddie. Now, whoever it is that's watching you is looking to cash in on those tapes. But it is not Eddie.
Frank, I know where those tapes are. After the accident, I had to say goodbye in my own way. I went to Satin Records, got the tapes, and drove back to Palace Depression.
Take me there.
Why did you do this?
Shortcuts, kid. I never could do things the easy way.
Doc, why this little game and the car business?
I figured Joann had the tapes, I knew she wasn't gonna gove them to me. Maybe you, Wordman, maybe if she'd give them to you.
What would you do if you had the tapes, Doc?
Try me, just try me. I have it made. For once in my life, I'd bring home a winner... I'd like that.
I once asked Eddie why he kept you around. You know what he said? He said, "Doc's a dreamer, and the world needs dreamers."
He was the only real friend I ever had.
