Scenes with Carrie Laughlin
6 scenes
Know what, Brian? One night when we was stayin' up late we was talkin' 'bout how much bad luck he must have comin' from all those mirrors he broke, and I swear we came to 449 years it would take for him to work it all off, and he'd have to - after he died - he's gonna have to keep comin' back to earth over and over and over again.
Carrie Laughlin Karma.
Carrie Laughlin Karma. You know, when you do something bad to someone and fate pays you back by something bad happening to you.
[blowing a bubble]
Is that French?
[looking at Carrie's photos, dropping them to the ground after looking at each one]
Boring. Boring. Dog shit. Now that don't leave much to the imagination, does it? I know him. [photo shows a person with white mask on] That's my daddy. ****er. [drops it and proceeds to the next photo] Boring. [drops it and then pauses a moment studying the next photo. That's you ain't it?
Carrie Laughlin Yeah, that's me. Do you like it? What do you think?
[studies it a moment longer, jabs his finger through it and then sticks his tongue through it]
Dog shit! [drops photo on ground] Boring. Stinky. Stinky. [to Brian as he sits back in chair] You gotta learn how to control your woman better. But lucky for you, they take all kinds in California. That's where we'll be tomorrow. California.
My God, Carrie. If Early ever saw me in a picture like that I'd be black-and-blue for a week.
Carrie Laughlin You shouldn't let him do that to you.
You think Early's mean to me? Well, he's not. He may punish me once in a while, but he's not mean. Um, when I was 13 there was these three boys and they raped me in the back of this truck. They hurt me so bad that I was in the hospital for, like, four months. And I feel safe with Early 'cause most of the time he treats me really nice. I know that he'd never. He would never let anything like that ever happen to me again.
[at the sound of a gunshot]
What was that?
[nervously]
Nothing, Brian. It was just the thunder. Oh my God.
[to Early who's dragging Carrie along]
Hey, Early, what the **** are you doing? We talked about this.
Oh, Brian. You gonna like this one. Get in. Big fella you riding shotgun. Adele, you drive. [throws Carrie into backseat with him]
What's going on? What are you doing?
Come on bud, let's go. Get us out of here momma.
[they drive off]
What happened back there?
Carrie Laughlin [crying]
Oh my God. He shot him. He shot him in the head.
Who shot who in the head?
Everybody just shut up! Goddamn, bitch, quit squawking. Nothing's changed. I'm gonna get you there, safe, to California. [chuckles] That is, if Adele don't kill us with her driving first.
[after shooting two cops]
Got them both on the dead run.
Come on, momma. [Walks over to Brian who is standing over the wounded cop] Tell me that don't hurt. Here. [Hands Brian a gun while pointing another one at his head]
Gotta put that crippled dog out of his misery. You wanna know about it, you gotta do it, son. Shoot him. Come on, lay it on in there. Come on, mean boy. Come on, mean boy. Do it! Shoot him! Shoot the dog! Time to live, boy. Shoot him. Come on. Go! Go, mean boy.
[Brian drops the gun]
You ****.
Look at his face! It's not your father. Look at him!
I know that, you idiot. That's police in a world of hurting. This here's a mercy killing.
Carrie Laughlin [He kills the cop]
Oh God!
You haven't even said thank you.
Thank you for what, Adele?
Well, Adele, it's for saving your **** life back there! Goddamn! You were this close, momma, from spending the night in the county morgue.
Carrie Laughlin He wasn't going to shoot her, you murdering son of a bitch!
Carrie Laughlin What are you **** insane?
Carrie Laughlin God, why are you so **** blind, Brian? He's a murderer for crying out loud.
