Tim reveals to his father that there are parts of two murdered bodies in his cellar, and that while he doesn't think that he murdered them, he has been suffering from blackouts and hallucinations. </p><p>He recalls to his father how he had awoken five days earlier, after spending the night doing <a href="/wiki/Cocaine" title="Cocaine">cocaine</a> and having sex with <a href="/wiki/Pornographic_film_actress" class="mw-redirect" title="Pornographic film actress">pornographic film actress</a> Jessica Pond in front of her partner Lonnie Pangborn, to discover bloody clothing in his car and a new tattoo on his arm featuring the first name of his former girlfriend Madeleine Falco (<a href="/wiki/Isabella_Rossellini" title="Isabella Rossellini">Isabella Rossellini</a>). The new <a href="/wiki/Provincetown,_Massachusetts" title="Provincetown, Massachusetts">Provincetown</a> police chief Luther Regency (<a href="/wiki/Wings_Hauser" title="Wings Hauser">Wings Hauser</a>), who was now married to Madeleine, warned Tim to remove his marijuana stash from the woods before state troopers found it. Tim went to the stash and discovered a severed head hidden under the drugs. He later found out from Regency that Lonnie had committed suicide and Jessica was missing. </p><p>Flashing back, Tim remembers meeting Madeleine when he was working as a bartender. He then remembers meeting Patty, after he encouraged Madeleine to go <a href="/wiki/Swinging_(sexual_practice)" title="Swinging (sexual practice)">swinging</a> with Patty and her then husband Big Stoop (<a href="/wiki/Penn_Jillette" title="Penn Jillette">Penn Jillette</a>). Afterwards, Patty promised to get rid of Big Stoop, marry and then divorce a rich man for his money, and then marry Tim so that he could follow his dreams and become a writer. On the trip back Tim and Madeleine fought, which caused their car to crash, and Madeleine suffered injuries that rendered her <a href="/wiki/Infertility" title="Infertility">infertile</a>. </p><p>Tim recalls reuniting with Patty after spending time in prison for dealing cocaine. Patty told him that she'd married her rich man, Tim's former classmate Wardley Meeks III (<a href="/wiki/John_Bedford_Lloyd" title="John Bedford Lloyd">John Bedford Lloyd</a>), and convinced him to hire Tim as Patty's <a href="/wiki/Chauffeur" title="Chauffeur">chauffeur</a>. Patty filed for divorce, and Tim testified against Wardley to help her get a large <a href="/wiki/Settlement_(litigation)" title="Settlement (litigation)">settlement</a>. </p><p>Tim then recalls the events of yesterday. He reunited with Madeleine, who told him that Regency was having an affair with Patty and suggested they kill both of them. That night, Regency told Tim that he thought Lonnie and Jessica were sent to Provincetown with $2 million by Patty and Wardley to buy cocaine from Tim, and that he suspected Tim murdered Lonnie and Jessica. Tim went to check his stash and discovered that there were now two severed heads there. He was assaulted on the way back by his friends Spider and Stoodie, but he managed to escape with the heads. </p><p>Back in the present, Dougy identifies the heads as Patty's and Jessica's and disposes of them at sea. Tim is kidnapped at gunpoint by Wardley, who admits to sending Spider and Stoodie to assault him and then killing them both. He takes Tim to Helltown where they, as well as Patty and Jessica, are buried, and tells Tim his side of the story. </p><p>Wardley and Patty had sent Jessica and Lonnie to buy cocaine from Regency, but Jessica shot Lonnie when he threatened to leave with the money. When Patty and Regency arrived, Jessica threatened to turn them both in, but was shot by Patty. Regency took the money, hid Jessica's head, and had sex with Patty. Later, Wardley shot Patty after she revealed that there never was any cocaine, that she and Regency had scammed him, and that they were <a href="/wiki/Blackmail" title="Blackmail">blackmailing</a> him for an additional $10 million. </p><p>After telling Tim his story, Wardley <a href="/wiki/Suicide" title="Suicide">shoots himself</a>. Tim returns home to find Madeleine waiting outside for him, and they kiss. Inside, a drunk Regency admits to framing Tim as revenge for what he did to Madeleine, and to being in love with Patty. When Tim tells him that Patty is dead, Regency suffers a stroke. While recovering in bed, Regency taunts Madeleine as inferior to Patty, and Madeleine shoots him. Tim and Dougy dispose of the five bodies at sea, and Madeleine uses the $2 million to buy a house for her and Tim. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tough_Guys_Don%27t_Dance_(film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Ryan_O%27Neal" title="Ryan O'Neal">Ryan O'Neal</a> as Tim Madden</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Isabella_Rossellini" title="Isabella Rossellini">Isabella Rossellini</a> as Madeleine Regency</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Lawrence_Tierney" title="Lawrence Tierney">Lawrence Tierney</a> as Dougy Madden</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wings_Hauser" title="Wings Hauser">Wings Hauser</a> as Luther Regency</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Debra_Sandlund" title="Debra Sandlund">Debra Sandlund</a> as Patty Lareine</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Penn_Jillette" title="Penn Jillette">Penn Jillette</a> as Big Stoop</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Bedford_Lloyd" title="John Bedford Lloyd">John Bedford Lloyd</a> as Wardley Meeks III</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Frances_Fisher" title="Frances Fisher">Frances Fisher</a> as Jessica Pond</li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=R._Patrick_Sullivan&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="R.
