why'd you want to meet here?
I dunno. it feels safe.
it's an underpass, fer chrissakes.
so? you scared?
nah, but it gives me the creeps.
well, that rat joey, he gives me the creeps too.
don't worry about him, boss. he'll get his.
yeah? when?
what time you got?
almost 3.
joey's sayin' his prayers, right about now.
yeah?
yeah. but they ain't gonna be answered.
you're a good boy, solly, you know that?
c'mon boss. let's get a drink.
yeah. let's drink to joey.
to his memory.
the rat.
