Have you ever heard
of Tony Robbins?
Yeah, if you have any
interest in human psychology
whatsoever, you need to
listen to Tony Robbins.
I used to think it was bullshit,
to be perfectly honest,
but then one day I came
across one of his tapes
at a gas station in Missouri.
This was back in
the 80's when folks
still had tapes in their cars,
but the tape was talking about
what it is that makes people do
the things that they do.
It is the root of
human psychology,
and it's what brought
you before me tonight.
Every decision you've
ever made in your poor,
pitiful little life was driven
by one of two basic
human instincts,
pain and pleasure.
You see, Tony says
that we as human beings
do whatever it is that we do
out of our desire
to gain pleasure
or our need to avoid pain.
(GUN COCKS)
You steal because you're
afraid of something,
coming up short on a
loan or going hungry
without food on the table,
or you steal because
you like the thrill.
You enjoy stealing things.
You kill people because
you like killing people
or because you
were told to do so
and you were too
scared to say no
to the person who
gave you the order.
This is an indisputable fact.
You either act out of fear
or because you seek pleasure.
It's a human thing.
There ain't no
getting around it.
Which brings me to my point.
You, us, right here in
this terrible moment.
You say that I don't
know who you are.
That is not entirely true.
'Cause as we have
just concluded,
you can only be
one of two things.
You're either a
coward or a demon.
A slave or a rebel.
A lion or an itty bitt pussycat.
Am I getting through to you?
Go fuck yourself.
How 'bout that?
You broke my fucking nose.
You see that?
This is who you really are.
Trying to convince me
otherwise is very undemonlike.
I think I see a pussy cat.
(LAUGHING)
Fuck you.
Let me go.
I swear to god.
I oughta murder
your fucking family.
(MAN GROANING)
[WOMAN] Jimmy, my boy.
This has been my
fucking pleasure.
You have fucked

(GUN FIRES)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Hey, for most people,
the suffering of pain
is as intolerable
as death itself.
The agony associated
with physical, mental
or even spiritual pain
is potent enough
to drive sane folks
into the edge of insanity
and throw them off
the fucking cliff.
Those people are most people,
and most people seek to
spend their entire life
in search of comfort,
as far as way from pain
as humanly possible,
but a rare few use
pain with impunity
to get those who are afraid
of it to do their bidding.
For them, pain is used
as a means to an end,
a tool in a mad man's toolbox.
As a responsible business
owner in Port City, Michigan,
Linda is required to
make weekly payments
to the local racket in order
to keep her business afloat.
Needless to say,
Linda has been lagging
behind on her payments,
and when a Port City business
is behind on its payments,
it gets a visit from them.

I'm going to

It's not going to

which is more than
most people get
when they try to back out
of a contract with me.
Choice number one,
you pay me $50,000
and I get the fuck
out of the way.
It's an easy buy
out, clean, fair,
and to the point.
Choice number two, you sign over
ownership of your business to me
and in return, I will
wipe the slate clean.
That means you and your daughter
will get to go home alive
and mostly unspoiled.
That brings choice number three,
I shoot you in
the fucking mouth.

Util you hear it from me
There ain't no grave
I talked to Scarlet if you...
I'll talk to Scarlet
if you want me to.
I don't know what
much good it'll do.
(COUGHING)
Her whole life, her mother
taught her nonviolence,
no guns.
Then all the sudden,
you come in there,
let me guess, you
just rolled up on her.
You said, "Here Scarlet,
you take this gun now.
"You take this gun,
you just might have
"to shoot someone
in their face."
No, no, no.
Bang, bang, Scarlet.
- Okay, no.
- Bang, bang.
[JO] She hates me, no
you should have seen her.
[BOONE] She doesn't.
[JO] She hates me.
(FOOTSTEPS ECHO)
Let me guess, you
just rolled up on her.
Said, "Hey, Scarlet,
here's a gun.
"You just might have to
shoot someone in their face."
(LAUGHING)
You are so dumb.
[JO] You are so funny.
(INSECTS CHIRPING)
Excuse me, can I
bother you for a light?
Yeah, sure.

Dawson, what are you doing?

All right, that's fine,
let's go, Mom's waiting.
Come here, baby.

[JO LEE] My name
is Jo Lee Haywood
and in the spring of 1982,
I murdered my father.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
His name was Jesse M. Pickin,
and he was a fucking drunk,
and doing what
fucking drunks do,
Jesse would often
drink himself to death
and resort to violence.
Unprovoked,
unnecessary violence.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
After nearly killing my mother
in a drunken stroke of rage,
Jesse M. Pickin had
finally met his end,
at the hands of his
three baby daughters.
Doris, May, and me.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Collectively referred
to as the three dames.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Broke but ambitious,
my sisters and I
decided to go into
business for ourselves,
robbing banks,
robbing people,
and sometimes, murder.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Five years later, and
our name became a brand.
My sisters and I were in charge
of the largest Dixie mafia in
the great state of Tennessee.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
But this all changed
the day I met him.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
One day, our car was
stopped on our way back home
from a weekend with our
youngest daughter, Lily.
(TIRES SQUEAL)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Jake, the baker, Lando,
a local crime boss who wanted
to make a name for himself
decided to build
his brand as the man
who took down the three sisters,
the infamous Dame's Gang.
That dame was me.
He decided to put
an end to my life
and take my family away from me.
After four months
in a coma, I awoke.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I snuck into my own
house like a thief
in the middle of the night,
grabbed what's left
of my family and fled,
600 miles north to what
then was considered
the small boom town of
Port City, Michigan.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I bought a house in the suburbs,
opened a neighborhood bar
with my daughter, Scarlet,
and worked as hard as I
could to start my life anew.
Eventually my brother
Boone followed suit.
As for the man who
tried to kill me,
like old Jesse before him,
Jake, the baker,
Lando met his end
by the hands of the
two Dame sisters,
May and Doris.

Dawson, come on,
let's go, Mom's waiting.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
What is that doing in here?
Dawson, what is
that doing in here?
I found it, I
wanted to read it.
Where did you find it?
Mom's room.
And you thought you
could just take it?
Yeah.
Why?
Because I wanted to read it.
Well, it wasn't
for you to read.
What made you think you could
just walk into Mom's room
and steal her journal,
what's the matter with you?
Give it to me.
Did you read it?
All of it?
[JO] Scarlet.
Dawson.
Move it.
- Let's go.
- Come on, move it.
Jesus.
I have to go potty.
Oh.
I'll take her.
No, no, stay here
with Dawson, here.
Hurry, quick, quick,
quick, quick, quick.
Look, Dawson, I'm
sorry for yelling at you.
Don't worry about it.
I deserved it.
Well, I took care
of it, all right?
It's fine, I'm not
gonna rat you out.
Thanks.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
So Mom's kind of a
badass, ain't she?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Yeah, that's...
That's one way of looking at it.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
It's gonna be all right, okay?
Let me take a look at you.
You okay?
Okay.

(SOMBER MUSIC)
Faith in God, I don't know
Asked him why he said no
Have you ever been so alone
And dressed up for Sunday
They bow their
heads for some day
Have you ever questioned
I know
We count our daily blessing
Forgiving when trespassings
The emptiness is lasting
So long
Amen
Amen

To my bright
and talented star,
may you keep shining forever.

Hello, June bug.
Long time, no see.
Who did this to you?
[SAMMY] Hello, Jo.
[JO] Who is this?
I think you know who this is.
I think you know
who I'm working for,
and I think you know
why I'm calling.
You have her?
You have my daughter?
You and I are gonna have
ourselves a little meeting.
Your bar, midnight.
If I see a cop, she dies.
If I see a gun, she dies.
If I see your hill Billy
redneck cow fucking brother,
she dies.
You give me what I want,
and I will give you your
little darling back.
I wanna talk to her.
I wanna talk to my daughter.
You put her on the line.
Do it.

Bite the bullet, baby
We are gonna all

Locked and loaded, won't you
pour me a glass of gasoline
Set me on fire, yeah
Set me on fire
Me
Oh
Go ahead and pull the
bang, bang down on my knees
Down on my knees
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
Now they say whatever
doesn't kill you
Will only make you stronger
But I say whatever
doesn't kill me
It better run
Bite the bullet baby
We are gonna all
bend the knees
Locked and loaded, won't you
pour me a glass of gasoline
And set me on fire
(GUITAR MUSIC)
[JO] Pain.
For most people, the
suffering of pain
is as intolerable
as death itself.
The agony associated
with physical, mental
or even spiritual
pain is potent enough
to drive sane folks into
the edge of insanity
and throw them off
the fucking cliff.
But I am not most people.
Pain runs through my veins.
It has poisoned my blood.
I've got the scars to show it.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Good evening.
Check her.
With pleasure.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Spread 'em, spread 'em.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
She's clean.
Oh, my eye.
Fuck me.
That wasn't very nice.
Where's my daughter?
All in good time.
Take a seat.
I'd rather stand.
I don't give a shit
what you'd rather.
Take a seat.
[WHITE SHIRT]
Sit the fuck down.
Two men entered your bar to
have a little chat with you,
they never made it out.
Where are they?
I don't know.
You just broke a
very important rule.
You lied to me.
I'm gonna ask you again,
two men, where are they?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Nicky.
[NICKY] Yeah, boss?
You got the girl with you?
[NICKY] Yes, sir.
Good.
Let her rip.

No, no, no, no.
(SCREAMING)
Get her up, put
her on the chair.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(LAUGHING)
Look at you.
Goddamn, girl.
You got a lot of fight in you.
I just want to
see my daughter.
First thing's first.
We're gonna make a
little phone call.
Mr. Frank, this is Sam Barone.
I have something for you.
Hey, guess what?
It's for you.
Good evening.
I'm going to ask
you some questions.
I need you to answer them
straight and to the point.
If you fail to provide me
with a reasonable response,
or allude to any issue
you may presently have
with this conversation,
we'll be forced to stop
and start the process
over again, understood?
Yes.
Okay.
(BUTTON CLICKS)
Your full name, please.
Address.
Phone number.
And your social security number.
Now I'm obligated by law
to read you the following
terms and conditions.
It's a standard transfer
of ownership agreement.
It'll take a few minutes.
At the end, if you agree,
please say I agree.
I agree.
(BUTTON CLICKS)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Yes.
Thank you.
You got what you want.
Now where's my daughter?
[SAM] Bring her in.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Mom, Mom.
(VOCALIZING)
Don't you fucking move.
You got what you want.
Now you let her go.
There's one thing I want,
just for my own
fucking satisfaction.
Get on your knees or
the bitch gets it.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Now.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Got too much fucking
pride, you smug bitch.
I wanna see you cry.
I want you to give me
everything you got.
I want you to fucking beg me
not to put a bullet through
her pretty, little head.
I'm gonna give you 30
seconds to convince me, go.
Do not touch my baby.
[SAM] That was weak.
Please do not touch my baby.
- Come on.
- Do not hurt her.
20 seconds.
- Do not, do not touch her.
- Come on.
- Jesus Christ.
- Do not hurt her.
- This is weak.
- Please do not hurt her.
- She does not love you.
- Let get go.
- Come on.
- Let her go.
- You let her go.
- 15 seconds.
Please let her go,
let her go, please.
Please let her go, please.
- Six.
- Please let her go, please.
- Five, four, three.
- Please, please.
Please let her go, please.
Beg me not to
shoot this bitch.
Please, please.
[SAMMY] You want me to
fucking shoot this bitch?
Please.
Then you fucking beg me.
Please.
Please.
Please don't hurt her, please.
Please don't hurt
my baby, please.
Please.
Please do not kill
my baby, please.
Please.
Please.
Please.
(CRYING)
Now you two get
the fuck out of here.
Go.
Oh, and wave
goodbye to your bar.
Or should I say my bar.
(LAUGHING)
- Run, baby, run.
- What?
[SAMMY] Oh and
enjoy the ride home
to your fucking farm or
wherever it is you came from.
Run.
This is the way
it's gonna go down.
You don't make a move until
I know that she's safe.
And if you have to choose,
you choose her.
That understood?
May?
Yes, ma'am.
Run.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Get 'em, get her.
Oh shit.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(GUNS FIRING)
(SCREAMING)
(SAMMY GROANING)
Fucking bitch.
You're gonna fucking pay.
You're gonna fucking
pay for this.
Sure.
You got my voice on a
recording somewhere.
You got my signature
on a piece of paper,
but the only problem is,
it ain't my bar.
I can't legally sell you
something I don't own, can I?
So when your friend, Mr. Frank,
tries to change the
name on that title,
he's gonna be in for
a little surprise.
Mr. DeVito, we have a problem.
The title to this bar
is hidden in a small box
in my office,
wrapped in a pretty
little ribbon
with a card next
to it that reads,
"You deserve this, baby.
"Happy birthday."
I gave it to my
daughter, Scarlet.
It's her name on
the title, not mine.
It seems to me that you
don't own shit, Sammy boy.
Who the fuck are you people?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
You come into my
place of business.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
You threaten my family.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
You kidnapped my daughter.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
You murdered my son.

(TIRES SQUEAL)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Who the fuck are you?
Are you scared?
Are you frightened?
It's okay if you are.
Folks like you, they say,
"I ain't scared of no girl."
Your boy Jimmy,
your boy Momo, Sam,
whoever the fuck, they
all said the same thing.
But when you put a
gun to their head,
when you are just about
to squeeze that trigger,
human instinct kicks in,
and they start crying,
and they start shaking,
and they get real, real scared.
Pickings.
You got some pair of
balls on you, lady.
Pulling a stunt like that.
Well, Jo.
I can't say that it's a
pleasure to finally meet you
considering the circumstances.
Please, don't take offense.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(LAUGHING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
You better do what
you came here to do.
I ain't got all day, toots.
Fuck you.
Yeah.
Pretty much.
Fuck you, too.
(GUN FIRES)
(CRYING)
(SOMBER MUSIC)
(CRYING)
They say that whatever
doesn't kill you
makes you stronger.
I'm the living proof of that,
and I've got the
scars to show it.
Every scar you carry,
every bad memory
is an indication
of how strong you actually are.
How much you've endured,
and how against all
odds, you survived.
People say you need to
forget about the bad things,
forget the painful
memories, let them go.
But if you do that,
you lost the value of the scar.
The pain was suffered
but nothing gained.
Fear overtook you and
the scar you carry
has made you weaker,
not stronger.
You just gotta realize that
some scars will never heal.
Some memories will burn forever.
But when you see them,
when you feel them,
you gotta smile.
You've endured.
You survived.

When she was a child
She was a little wild
She didn't play with toys
She wouldn't look at boys
She had a way of her own
Now she's up in Rome
Oh, boy, nothing's
gonna save you
Oh, Lord, praise the
one that made you
Oh child, holy water tremble
You know when the
night is coming for you
Ain't nothing stops the
sooner from the later
So light the way
on the wrong road
Hold tight, baby,
that's the way it goes
Now they call her a lady
The noise that
made her crazy
Still the guests when on by
So did her alibi
She got some kids of her own
Now they're up and grown
Look now, devil's
got you running
From what, baby
are you stumbling
Don't wait, death
is such a gamble
You know when the
night is coming for you
Ain't nothing stops
the sooner or the later
So light the way
on the wrong road
Hold tight, baby,
that's the way it goes
Don't pick a fight
With a dog who bites
She gonna leave a mark where
She tear you apart there
You're such a fool
You're just so cruel
Wake up, sit and pray
Live another day
You know, when the
night is coming for you
Ain't nothing stops the
sooner from the later
So light the way
on the wrong road
Hold tight, baby
that's the way it goes
The way it goes
The way it goes
Ooh

I like wine.
What do you say you get

All right, then good, let's

I am not wearing any socks

if you know what I mean.
(LAUGHING)
God, why did I just
say that, oh, no.
Oh, but then again,
