me.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Molly<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">Were you hurt?\u00a0 Sorry, I mean, of course, I guess.\u00a0 But, uh \u2026<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Vic<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">My heart was broke.\u00a0 Okay?\u00a0 My fucking heart was broke.\u00a0 And Monica, if you laugh at me, I\u2019ll tear your fucking head off.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Monica<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">Hey \u2026<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Molly<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">Monica won\u2019t laugh at you.\u00a0 Will you, Monica?\u00a0 I\u2019m sorry, Vic.\u00a0 Go on.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Vic<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">It wasn\u2019t a nasty breakup or anything.\u00a0 But while I was being the smart guy, she got this screen test in Hollywood, and Connie Walters was born.\u00a0 She did what she had to do, and I wasn\u2019t in her league any longer.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Molly<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">In other words, she dumped you and you were angry, and \u2026<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Vic<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">Not dumped.\u00a0 Not angry.\u00a0 I just wasn\u2019t big enough.\u00a0 That\u2019s all.\u00a0 And while I was playing cagey, the feds got bored, the usual bunch of gangsters decided it was time to step back in, and I was back in business.\u00a0 Then Connie got her first Hollywood part, and these two torpedoes \u2026<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Molly<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">Torpedoes?<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Vic<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">You know, trigger men, hard-boys, wearing polyester suits and fedoras and broken noses \u2014 the whole shtick.\u00a0 These two torpedoes showed up at my door asking for the prints.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Molly<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">So what did you do?<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Vic<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">I stalled for time, said I had to get them out of storage.\u00a0 Perhaps sensing my reluctance, they made it clear that they would hurt me real, real bad if I didn\u2019t come through in 24 hours.\u00a0 So I called Connie that night to tell her, and she begged me not to give them up.\u00a0 Today, it wouldn\u2019t be such a big deal, but back then she was just starting to make it and\u00a0 \u2026\u00a0 Anyway, I didn\u2019t know what to do.\u00a0 I asked her if she still loved me.\u00a0 She said no.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Molly<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">That must have been painful.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Vic<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">Yeah, sure.\u00a0 So I grabbed the prints, a fifth of scotch and a five-gallon can of gasoline, drove out to the beach.\u00a0 It was this bizarre scene.\u00a0 This big storm, and me chugging down scotch and trying to get the damn prints to burn for about an hour until I passed out.\u00a0 When I woke up the next morning, I was lying on my back with the waves running up over me and a seagull staring me in the eye, and what was left of the prints had washed out to sea.\u00a0 I finally managed to stagger back to my office and I waited.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Molly<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">And what happened?<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Vic<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">They hurt me.\u00a0 They hurt me real bad.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Molly<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">How did \u2026<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Vic<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">No more!\u00a0 You want my cock size, length and width, hard and soft, degree of curve, etc., it\u2019s all engraved on my business card.\u00a0 But some things \u2026\u00a0 They hurt me.\u00a0 That\u2019s all.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Monica<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">And I suppose all this makes you some kind of hero?<\/p>\n<p class=\"speaker\">Molly<\/p>\n<p class=\"txt\">Shut up, Monica.\u00a0 But Vic, they didn\u2019t kill you?<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Vic<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">I was a little surprised at that myself.\u00a0 Connie must have talked to her new producers.\u00a0 You think the mob has hard boys?\u00a0 You don\u2019t want to meet the hard boys that work for the Hollywood studios.\u00a0 Let\u2019s just say that a certain equilibrium was established.\u00a0 But God.\u00a0 They hurt me real bad.\u00a0 <em><span class=\"set\">(pause)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Monica<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">And the studios would hurt us?<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Vic<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">That\u2019s not my concern.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Molly<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">And you did this even though she said she didn\u2019t love you?<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Vic<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\"><em><span class=\"set\">(laughing hysterically)<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 Didn\u2019t love me?\u00a0 You silly bitch!\u00a0 If she\u2019d said she loved me, I\u2019d have known she was a lying little cunt and I\u2019d have copied the prints and then handed them right over.\u00a0 But she wouldn\u2019t bullshit me.\u00a0 She was too good a friend and nobody hurts my friends!\u00a0 Hey, don\u2019t you girls have some tests to study for?<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Molly<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">I guess we do.\u00a0 C\u2019mon, Monica.\u00a0 Let\u2019s go study.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Vic<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">One more thing.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Molly<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">Yes?<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Vic<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">Monica, tell me true.\u00a0 Do you really twirl their mustaches?<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"speaker\">Monica<\/h4>\n<p class=\"txt\">Bastard!\u00a0 <em><span class=\"set\">(but she\u2019s smiling
