And I’m friends with * the DA’s office, me keeping them * busy sending ‘em criminals and all-- * LUKE * --yes ma’am-- * ROSCOE * --You know what they do to guys in * prison who hurt old ladies? * (off his head shake) * Nothing nice. When I’m here * tomorrow, I wanna see that wound * cleaned and dressed or I will fuck * you like a stallion on stud day. * You know what that means? * LUKE * No ma’am. *
