Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Between Riverside and Crazy is a 2014 play by Stephen Adly Guirgis.It is set in an apartment on Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Walter "Pops" Washington is a retired policeman who lives in a rent-controlled apartment; his landlords would dearly love to evict him. Although Pops is getting on in years, the reason he is retired is that eight years ago, an NYPD cop shot him six times while Pops was drinking at a dive bar. Pops has a lawsuit against the city, one that he has refused to settle even though many people, including his son Junior, think he has waited too long and missed his payday.Junior means well, but he is an ex-con who appears to be dealing in stolen goods. His dimwitted but kindly girlfriend Lulu may or may not be pregnant. Junior's friend Oswaldo, who regards Pops as a father figure, is a recovering drug addict. The mysterious "Church Lady", sent by the local Catholic church to look in on Pops, seems to know a great deal about him. And looming over everything is the threat of eviction. Pops's "friend", Lt. Dave Caro of the NYPD, wants the lawsuit settled and is using that threat to try and make Pops come to terms.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

The Atoner: The Church Lady's conscience gets to her and she confesses everything to Pops at the end. She wormed her way into Pops's household deliberately, and pretended to be raising money for an orphanage, in order to scam him out of his money.

Bad-Guy Bar: When Pops got shot, he had been drinking all night in a dive bar known to be frequented by criminal types that had been declared off-limits by the NYPD. Lt. Caro confronts him with this when he says that Pops bears some responsibility for his shooting.

Battle Trophy: Pops, who knows he has Caro where he wants him, demands that in return for his agreement to the settlement, Caro will hand over the $30,000 engagement ring he gave to his fiancee, Det. Audrey O'Connor. And also, Pops will take Caro's tie. Pops gets both and is wearing the tie in the last scene.
