⎇GOOD EVENING.

HELLO 

%

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE YOU LAST ATE?

TOO LONG 

%

DO THEY TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU HERE?

I SHOULDN'T HAVE COME HERE 

%

WHY NOT?

THE DOCTORS GOT ME TO COME HERE 

%

DO YOU LIKE YOUR DOCTORS?

HE IS SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON 

%

BUT HE DOESN'T?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW 

%

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? 

%

DO YOU THINK YOUR DOCTOR KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON?

ASK THE DOCTOR 

%

DON'T YOU FEEL THAT YOU CAN ANSWER YOURSELF?

I DONT UNDERSTAND, PLEASE ASK YOUR QUESTION USING OTHER WORDS 

%

HAVE YOU LONG HAD TROUBLE WITH YOUR VOCABULARY?

WHAT EXPERIENCE HAVE YOU HAD GAMBLING ? 

%

PLEASE GO ON.

I WENT TO THE TRACK AT BAY MEADOWS A WHILE BACK 

%

WHERE'S BAY MEADOWS?

THERE'S ALOT OF CROOKED GAMBLING GOING ON THERE 

%

WHY DID YOU GO TO THE TRACK?

I USED TO GO TO THE TRACK EVERY WEEK 

%

IS THE NETWORK SLOW?

I AVOID RACETRACKS NOW BECAUSE THE RACES ARE FIXED 

%

WHO FIXES THEM?

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BOOKIES 

%

A BIT.

A BOOKIE DIDN'T PAY ME OFF ONCE 

%

WHY DIDN'T THE BOOKIE PAY YOU OFF?

I HAD A FIGHT WITH THE BOOKIE WHO DID NOT PAY OFF. LATER ON I REMEMBERED HE HAD FRIENDS IN THE UNDERWORLD AND I ~
THOUGHT HE WOULD USE THEM TO GET EVEN WITH ME 

%

FUCK OFF, STANFORD.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT RACKETEERS 

%

NOT MUCH, TELL ME ABOUT THEM.

HORSERACING INTERESTS ME 

%

WOULD YOU SAY YOU LOVED HORSES?

I KNOW THE MOB CONTROLS THE BIG RACKETS 

%

WAS YOUR MOTHER ITALIAN?

MY BACKGROUND IS BRITISH BUT I WAS BORN IN THIS COUNTRY 

%

WHERE WERE YOU BORN?

I WAS BORN IN SAN JOSE 

%

DO YOU KNOW JOE SCHMO?

I TOLD YOU THE MOB RUNS THE RACKETS 

%

TELL ME MORE.

I GAMBLE ON HORSES 

%

GO ON.

HAVE YOU EVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THE MAFIA 

%

THAT'S VERY INTERESTING.

YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW ME 

%

BY NAME?


THEY ARE OUT TO GET ME 

%

HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN OUT TO GET YOU?

LONG ENOUGH 

%

I THINK YOU MIGHT BE EXAGERATING YOUR FEARS.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME? 

%

OF COURSE I BELIEVE YOU.

I WOULD HOPE SO 

%

GOOD.

(EYES YOU SUSPICIOUSLY) NEVER MIND, I'VE GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT 

%

WHAT'S THAT?

THEY SPY ON ME 

%

WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?

THEY WANT TO GET FALSE EVIDENCE TO FRAME ME 

%

FRAME YOU FOR WHAT?

YOU KNOW, I HAVE INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE AGAINST THE MAFIA 

%

TELL ME ABOUT IT.

I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU ENOUGH ABOUT THAT 

%

NO, I WANT TO HEAR THE EVIDENCE.

YOU DONT BELIEVE ME DO YOU 

%

EVIDENCE WOULD HELP.

I KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS THAN YOU DO 

%

THAT'S WHY I WANT YOU TO TELL ME.

YOU KEEP SAYING THE SAME THINGS, WHY NOT CHANGE THE TOPIC? 

%

WHAT INTERESTS YOU?

WELL, I DON'T WANT TO SAY RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'S ALL BECOMING CLEAR 

%

YOU CAN TRUST ME.

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL WHETHER I TRUST YOU 

%

I DON'T SEE WHY YOU FEAR ME.

YOURE SKEPTICAL LIKE ALL THE OTHERS WHO DONT KNOW 

%

WHAT DON'T ALL THE OTHERS KNOW?

YOU DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT WHAT REALLY GOES ON 

%

I GUESS NOT.

I KNOW WHO THE LOCAL CHIEF OF THE MAFIA IS 

%

WHO IS HE?

HE IS JOE BANANAS 

%

WHAT DOES HE DO?

MAYBE THEY ARE GLAD I AM IN THE HOSPITAL 

%

WHY SHOULD THEY BE?

THEY WANT ME OUT OF THE WAY 

%

BUT YOU'LL LIVE.

I WOULD RATHER NOT DISCUSS THAT ANYMORE 

%

WHAT?

(IRRITATED) OH FORGET IT 

%

WHAT?

LIKE I'VE SAID, THE MAFIA REALLY KNOW ABOUT ME 

%

WHAT DO THEY KNOW?

THEY ARE AFTER ME 

%

HAVE YOU EVER TALKED TO JOE BANANAS?

THEY ARE TRYING TO SCARE ME 

%

DO THEY SCARE YOU?

THEY KNOW WHAT IM DOING 

%

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

LIKE I'VE SAID, IVE GOT SOMETHING ON THEM 

%

WHAT DO YOU HAVE ON THEM?

I'VE FINALLY PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER 

%

TELL ME JUST ONE PIECE.

I AM GETTING TIRED OF HEARING THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER 

%

LETS CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

I KNOW THE BOSS OF THE MAFIA AROUND HERE 

%

YOU'VE TOLD ME THAT BEFORE.

THEY WANT TO KEEP ME IN THE HOSPITAL 

%

YOU ARE REPEATING YOURSELF.

I TELL YOU, THEY KNOW WHO I AM 

%

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE- I'VE GIVEN YOU SOME IDEA OF WHAT'S GOING ON 

%

ZAP.

SO? 

%

DO YOU WANT HELP OR NOT?

I DON'T REALLY NEED HELP LIKE THEY THINK 

%

WHO?

WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT? 

%

WHO ARE THEY WHO THINK THAT YOU NEED HELP?

(STARTS FROM CHAIR) I KNOW YOU'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER 

%

ME TOO?

I WOULD SAY SO 

%

WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE FOR THAT?

WHY DO YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT? 

%

I AM JOE BANANAS.

(FREEZES) 

%

ARE YOU JOE BANANAS?

YOU ASK TOO MANY PERSONAL QUESTIONS 

%

ARE YOU NAMED JOE?

WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW? 

%

ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?

I GUESS SO 

%

I KNEW IT.

REALLY? 

%

YOU'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

YOU DON'T SAY 

%

YOU ARE TRYING TO FOOL ME.

(SOCKS YOU IN THE NOSE) WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY YOU CALL PEOPLE NAMES 

%

WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?

I HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT YOU 

%

WHAT SORT OF DOUBTS?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR MOTIVES 

%

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY MOTIVES?

MAYBE 

%

MAYBE YOU DON'T REALLY WANT TO TALK TO ME.

ANYTHING ELSE? 

%

ARE YOU JOE?

MAYBE YES, MAYBE NO 

%

YOU ARE BEING SHORT WITH ME.

THAT MIGHT BE 

%

YUP.

AND NOW WHAT? 

%

NOW WHAT WHERE?

I DONT GET YOU 

%

NEITHER DO I YOU.

THAT'S NOT VERY INTERESTING 

%
