Wayne HaysDo not talk talk shit in my face and walk away!
I don't wanna be around you right now.
Wayne Hays
You want me to leave you alone, then stop talkin' shit! Because when you talk shit about me, I'm required to defend myself.
How can you defend yourself? You can't defend yourself because you don't know what's wrong.
[She tries to leave, but he blocks her way]
Wayne Hays
Does the wife in your scenario play any part in the conflict? Any role in the last 10 years?
Wayne Hays
Stop talkin' shit about me!
Wayne Hays
[pause] Or I'm gonna start crying.
[disdainful] That's a first.
Wayne Hays
Think we can't understand each other, we're never gonna! [turns to leave]
Oh, great, Wayne. Walk away. Surprise, surprise.
Wayne Hays
What do you want me to do, huh? You want to yell some more? You want me to hit you, you want me to fuck you? Just give me my orders, major!
Wayne Hays
All on your schedule, I guess! Be happy when you say, fight when you say, talk when you say, fuck every so often.
[pause] How about right now?
Wayne Hays
What?
[removing her panties] How about right now?
Wayne Hays
[confused but turned on] You got some major cognitive dissonance.
Wayne Hays
Would you have done it? Would you have shot one of them?
If I thought it was between him and me, then no, I could give a fuck what color he was.
Wayne Hays
You sure about that?
Fact that these were black folks probably gave me more pause. Mob of white people surrounds me, smashes up my ride, there'd be a lot less hesitation about what I'd do.
Wayne Hays
Can we say this was anonymous vandals?
We're not going with "irate Negroes"?
Wayne Hays
I found the spot they played in the woods. They were meeting somebody, the kids, out there. Somebody gave them toys. It's where the boy died.
The way Will's body was... how he saved the toys... It's almost as if there was an element of affection in it, don't you think?
Wayne Hays
People who hurt kids think of themselves as having an affection for the children... even up to the "fuck 'em and murder 'em" part.
Wayne Hays
We just wanna know if you remember anything about that night. Maybe you can take us through it again.
FBFreddy Burns
You must be a stone-cold killer, huh? You're plenty tough with teenagers.
That night, you told us when you was alone, you saw him.
Wayne Hays
Where was the girl? Will's sister?
FBFreddy Burns
I dunno. He was all nervous, like, "I can't find my sister. I don't know where they went."
Wayne Hays
They? He said "they"?
FBFreddy Burns
I dunno, maybe he did. [sneers] You wanna slap me around a little, make sure?
Wayne Hays
[ignoring the remark] Any indication who "they" might be?
FBFreddy Burns
You can't be very good at your job, come around 10 years later and try to hang this on me.
No one's hanging anything on you.
FBFreddy Burns
Maybe you just came here to see if you can make me piss my pants.
Wayne Hays
[fed up] That doesn't seem like a very tall order.
FBFreddy Burns
Come on then, bounce me off the walls, you black motherfucker! You think there's something you can do to me, you might wanna take another look at my life!
Hold on now! Mr. Burns, I understand your hard feelings, but we just needed you to remember.
Wayne Hays
And not for nothing, things might be what they are because you need to attack and bully someone weaker than you.
FBFreddy Burns
And you don't? I was a teenager. What's your excuse?
Is this what you came to see me about? Twenty-five years, what, you doin' old man fantasy camp? You think you'll just roll up in here and I'll be all, "Golly gee, partner, let's grab our junior clue finders and have an adventure"? You know, in '80, we stop bein' partners, you get married... it's natural. People drift apart. This, right now? This ain't that. All this time, you never picked up the phone? You never dropped by for a beer? You never said you're fuckin' sorry, once!
Wayne Hays
I...
And I was gonna put that shit aside to have a drink with you, reminisce. Maybe just watch the dogs play and the sun go fuckin' down. But look what you're doin'...
Wayne Hays
[looking at an empty bottle on the porch] How many of those you go through a week?
Hey, fuck you, man! I'm fine... alone out here, no woman, no kids, and no old friends. So that means I get to drink exactly as much as I want to! You don't judge me, motherfucker! I know you. I know what you did, what I did. You talk about my drinkin'? I'd whip your ass if it wouldn't kill you! And you still ain't apologized!
Wayne Hays
[tearing up] Roland, I don't remember. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I just can't remember. I don't... I can't... I can't remember my life, man. I can't remember my wife... I don't know. You tell me I did something wrong, I'm... I'm sorry.
You're a hard man to find. Where you been?
DODan O'Brien
Time being what it is, I imagine you boys would rather I stick to what's relevant, which is that justice might finally be done for Lucy and her kids.
Wayne Hays
Gonna need you to make your fuckin' point, Dan.
DODan O'Brien
My point is, Tom goin' on TV, Julie bein' alive... there are questions you can't answer without information I know.
You know somethin' you're not sayin', we can put you away right now.
Wayne Hays
Or we could take you someplace and kick the hell out of you until we're convinced you're as full of shit as you look to me.
DODan O'Brien
I want $7,000.
Wayne Hays
I want a boat.
DODan O'Brien
Y'know, it's clear from the news that ya'll don't any more now than you did then. You deliver to me that amount, you're gonna know a whole lot more. I imagine a whole lot of your confusion is just gonna clear right up.
Wayne Hays
You're workin' on getting your head bounced right of that fuckin' curb.
DODan O'Brien
I been gettin' the shit beat out of me since I was two years old.
You ain't worked a case in 10 years. Fuck's sake, Purple, what do you think this is about? Why do you think I pulled you in here?
Wayne Hays
To find the girl and solve what happened.
You don't think there are better detectives around? Hey, we find the girl, great. We clear it, great. But how often does that happen? A 10-year-old case. This was me helping you get your career back, you understand? It was a favor I did.
Wayne Hays
'Cause I'm such a hard-luck case.
Keep talkin'. Keep talkin'. They're gonna put you back on Public Information, or Highway Cleanup for the next 10 years. How'd that be, huh?
You manipulative, egotistical, uppity fuckin'...
Wayne Hays
What? Huh? What're you gonna say?
Guess what word's runnin' through my mind.
Wayne Hays
Say it, then. Say it, motherfucker!
Nah. I just want you to know I'm thinkin' it.
