Jake Trevor:
Hello, Laurie.
Laurie Thompson:
Jake.
Jake Trevor:
You know you looked pretty good over there.
Laurie Thompson:
Thanks. It's everything you taught me.
Jake Trevor:
Yeah. Got a little time for some conversation?
Laurie Thompson:
Yeah. It's long overdue.
Jake Trevor:
Come on. You know it's a little awkward for me. I mean coming back this way and all. Under these conditions.
Laurie Thompson:
Yeah. Well you missed a lot not knowing Kenny. You know he was a lot like you. Headstrong. Full of his own ways about things. Basketball was his life. He was gonna be a big star. He had a plan just like you.
Jake Trevor:
Yeah, I was gonna be heavyweight champ of the world.
Laurie Thompson:
Oh, and I knew you could do it.
Jake Trevor:
Did you?
Laurie Thompson:
No doubt in my mind.
Jake Trevor:
You never let me know.
Laurie Thompson:
That's why I had to let you go.
Jake Trevor:
Let me go, Laurie? You let me go? Come on, Laurie. Let me go?
Laurie Thompson:
Jake I didn't wanna get in the way of your dreams. You would've never, never forgiven me for it. And it would've killed whatever we had.
Jake Trevor:
Yeah, it's just like me. Killing things, huh.
Laurie Thompson:
Jake, I read all about that in the papers. It wasn't your fault. Those things happen to boxers. You took a chance. It could've been you.
Jake Trevor:
You know, it was never the same after that. I thought about a comeback, but comeback from what? I was a failure, all around failure. I failed myself, I failed you. I couldn't even face up to you. Especially after how you sent me away.
Laurie Thompson:
Kenny knew all about you. Oh, he had an album of all your fights, and he knew you hadn't forgotten us and that, you know, you tried to send us some money. And he loved you. He loved you. I made sure of that.
Jake Trevor:
But I never heard from him.
Laurie Thompson:
He... He wanted to wait until he was all grown up. He wanted you to know him as a man and as a friend.
Jake Trevor:
I don't know what to say, baby.
Laurie Thompson:
You don't have to say anything.
Jake Trevor:
Come here. Come here.
[Embraces her as she starts to cry]
John Bookman:
[shows them the huge collection of firearms]
Look at that. The kid came through. I checked them out. They work.
Jake Trevor:
Well, looks like you were right this time, huh?
John Bookman:
What do you mean, "this time"? And I carried these up all by myself while you guys were out there holding hands.
