Mortal Thoughts

Nealon: WHY DON'T YOU TAKE MY SEAT, MRS. KELLOGG?

RIGHT HERE?

YES.

IF IT'S TOO COLD FOR YOU, MRS. KELLOGG

WE'LL CLOSE THE WINDOW.

NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT. I'M FINE, THANK YOU.

Woods: READY?

LET'S GET STARTED.

WE'RE HERE SPEAKING WITH CYNTHIA KELLOGG

WHO HAS COME FORWARD VOLUNTARILY TO GIVE INFORMATION

IN THE CASE REGARDING JAMES URBANSKI.

IN ATTENDANCE ARE DETECTIVE JOHN WOODS

AND MYSELF, DETECTIVE LINDA NEALON.

I HAVE TO INFORM YOU OF YOUR RIGHTS.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

IF YOU GIVE UP THAT RIGHT, ANYTHING YOU SAY

CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU IN A COURT OF LAW.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO THE PRESENCE OF AN ATTORNEY.

I DON'T NEED AN ATTORNEY.

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THAT I SHOULD NEED AN ATTORNEY.

Nealon: THIS IS YOUR RIGHT.

IF AT ANY TIME YOU WISH TO HAVE AN ATTORNEY PRESENT

YOU MAY.

I'M JUST ANXIOUS TO GET ON WITH THIS.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING I'VE SAID TO YOU?

YES, I DO.

WHEN WAS THE FIRST TIME YOU NOTICED PROBLEMS OR TENSION

IN THE URBANSKI MARRIAGE?

THAT I CAN REMEMBER...

THE WEDDING.

( band playing Italian folk music )

THAT'S GOOD, FELLAS.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

HOW ARE YOU?

HEY, DOMINIC.

HOW ARE YOU?

NICE TO SEE YOU.

CONGRATULATIONS, DOM.

HARRY, YOU'RE LOOKING GREAT.

HEY, WHAT DO YOU GOT?

GIVE US A COUPLE MORE DRINKS HERE, BOB.

COMING UP.

I WAS MORE NERVOUS THAN I THOUGHT I'D BE.

I FORGOT TO DO MY LEFT HAND.

YOU'LL HAVE YOUR GLOVES ON.

I MESSED UP THOSE WORDS DURING THE CEREMONY.

EVERYONE MESSES UP.

REMEMBER MY WEDDING?

I FORGOT EVERYTHING.

YOUR WEDDING WAS GREAT, EXCEPT YOUR HUSBAND IS SUCH A...

WHAT GROOM SELLS TOOLS AT HIS OWN WEDDING?

LET ME GET MY COMB.

YOU'VE GOT TO MOVE QUICKLY.

THE CONDO IS THE FUTURE.

IF YOU WANT TO GO CO-OP, I CAN HELP WITH THAT TOO.

I COULD NEVER TELL THE DIFFERENCE.

WITH A CONDO, YOU OWN OUTRIGHT.

IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED.

WHAT?

EXCUSE ME.

I NEED THE PURSE.

DO YOU HAVE TO TALK BUSINESS?

I MEAN, THIS IS A WEDDING.

CYNTHIA, THAT'S THE BEST TIME.

SOCIAL OCCASIONS.

HOW DO YOU THINK PEOPLE GET RICH?

RICH?

THAT'S JOYCE'S COUSIN, BOBBY.

HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A JOB.

DOMINIC, THE PURSE.

THANKS, HON.

I'M GOING TO CHECK WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHER.

OKAY.

ANGIE.

Photographer: LET'S HAVE A GROUP SHOT OF THE BRIDESMAIDS.

JUST THE BRIDESMAIDS, PLEASE.

JOYCE, COME HERE.

COME HERE.

WHAT?

WHERE'S THE PURSE?

I GAVE IT TO MY FATHER.

SINCE WHEN DO YOU TRUST YOUR FATHER?

HE PAID FOR THE FUCKING WEDDING.

GO GET THE PURSE.

NO.

GO GET THE PURSE!

MY SISTER PAID FOR THIS DRESS.

COME ON, IT'S FAMILY.

WHOSE FAMILY YOU IN?

GET OUT OF HERE, BONEHEAD.

WHO INVITED YOU, ANYWAY?

I'M TELLING YOU NICELY, GO GET THE PURSE.

THEY'RE LOWLIFES.

THEY EMBARRASSED YOU, THEY EMBARRASSED ME.

YOU'VE GOT YOUR WHOLE FUCKING LIFE TO FIGHT.

LET'S GET A DRINK.

GET ME A V.O. AND SODA.

DADDY.

HIYA, HON, WHAT'S THE MATTER?

GIVE ME THE PURSE.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

HE'S GOING TO BREAK MY NECK.

GIVE ME THE PURSE.

HE'LL BREAK YOUR NECK?

JUST RELAX, DADDY.

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL, ANYWAY.

CUT, CUT, CUT.

THERE'S THE FUCKING PURSE. YOU HAPPY NOW?

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW WHAT WAS OR WASN'T IN THERE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOUR FATHER'S 00.

BIG FUCKING DEAL.

KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN.

YOU DON'T TRUST MY FUCKING FATHER.

Bandleader: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

DANCING FOR THE FIRST TIME AS HUSBAND AND WIFE

MR. JAMES URBANSKI AND HIS LOVELY BRIDE, JOYCE.

EVERYBODY'S STARING AT US.

Man: CONGRATULATIONS.

Man: NEVER LET HER GO.

Joyce: WHAT?

I DON'T HEAR YOU.

I SAID, I'M SORRY, ALL RIGHT?

COME ON OVER HERE, AND I'LL BITE YOUR HAND.

I PRESENT TO YOU MR. AND MRS. JAMES URBANSKI.

* DON'T GO CHANGING

* TO TRY AND PLEASE ME

* YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN BEFORE

* HMM HMM HMM

* AND DON'T IMAGINE

* YOU'RE TOO FAMILIAR...

I GUESS THEY DRIFTED APART FROM THERE.

I CAN'T SEE WHY THEY BOTHERED.

JOYCE JUMPED AT THE CHANCE TO MARRY JIMMY.

IN HER MIND, HE WAS A VERY GOOD CATCH.

AND AFTER THE WEDDING

JOYCE CONTINUED TO CONFIDE IN YOU ABOUT HER PROBLEMS?

YEAH, SHE DID.

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT SOME OF HER COMPLAINTS WERE?

HE COMES AND GOES AS HE PLEASES.

HIGH ALL THE TIME.

HE WAS A HEAVY DRUG USER.

THIS WAS A SORE POINT WITH JOYCE.

WELL, NOT AT FIRST, BUT HE NEVER CAME AROUND

AND THEN HE WOULD JUST LOSE IT.

Nealon: WHAT DO YOU MEAN-- EXACTLY?

WELL, HE WOULD...

HE WOULD LIKE PULL A KNIFE ON HER

AND CHASE HER AROUND THE ROOM.

PUNCHED HER SO HARD ONCE, PUT HER IN THE HOSPITAL.

WHEN IS THE FIRST TIME

JOYCE SAID SHE WANTED TO GET RID OF HER HUSBAND?

UH... I REMEMBER A TIME...

I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE FIRST TIME.

WHEN THIS IS ALL BLONDE, IT'S GOING TO BE GORGEOUS.

THAT WOULD BE NICE.

CYNTHIA, I'LL DO HER.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO STAY OFF YOUR FEET.

I KNOW MY LIMIT.

I DON'T WANT YOU POPPING YOUR TOAST

WHEN WE GOT A STORE FULL OF CUSTOMERS.

WHERE THE HELL IS COOKIE?

Joyce: COOKIE, I'LL BRAIN YOU.

I SWEAR, I WAS STUCK IN THE TUNNEL FOR AN HOUR.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WHAT, DID YOU SWALLOW A HAND GRENADE?

JOYCE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING ANYMORE.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE YOUR MOTHER.

HEY, JOYCE, TAKE THE BABY.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WATCH HIM.

I GOT TO TAKE CARE OF SOMETHING.

YOU SHOOTING HOOPS?

MAYBE THAT'S WHY I GOT TO TAKE CARE OF SOMETHING.

WHAT IS THIS?

WE RAN OUT OF PAMPERS.

WHAT, ARE YOU CRIPPLED?

GO BUY SOME.

NO, IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING?

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT NOW.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

WHAT?

OH, GREAT, JOYCE.

CYNTHIA, COULD YOU HOLD HIM?

REALLY FUCKING SMART.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT WAS YOUR SECOND APPOINTMENT.

WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS IN FRONT OF ALL THESE CUSTOMERS?

FUCK THESE CUSTOMERS. WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THEM?

YOU DON'T TAKE CARE OF THIS

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY AROUND HERE.

WHAT IF I WANT ANOTHER BABY?

NO!

WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.

YOU GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF.

FUCK YOU, JAMES!

FUCK ME, HUH?

SHIT.

HEY, HEY, JIMMY, JIMMY.
