Speaker A
You do it at home. The rest is bullshit, and you know it. I'll make you happy, baby.
Speaker A
Just wait and see. I'll give you three. The day I saw you, I had a bit of a way to hold you. So won't you be my little baby? Be my baby now. Be my baby now. What the hell is this?
Speaker A
What the fuck? Keep out of my place, I know your face! And you! Meg, I told you about passing that shit in my place. I didn't do nothing! George, what do you do here? You're supposed to be the
Speaker A
bouncer. I didn't do nothing. That's it, you didn't do nothing! *Horrible music* Lord, I'm not worthy to eat your flesh, not worthy to drink your blood. Not worthy to drink your blood. Okay, okay, I just come out of confession, right? Right.
Speaker A
And the priest gives me the usual penance, right? Ten Hail Marys, ten Our Fathers, ten whatever. Now, you know that next week I'm gonna come back and he's gonna just give me another ten Hail Marys and another ten Our Fathers, and... I mean,
Speaker A
you know how I feel about that shit. Those things, they don't mean anything to me. They're just words. Now, that may be okay for the others, but it just doesn't work for me. I mean, if I do something wrong, I just
Speaker A
want to pay for it my way. So I do my own penance for my own sins. What do you say, huh? That's all bullshit except the pain, right? The pain of hell. The burn from a lighted match increased a million times. Infinite. Now,
Speaker A
you don't fuck around with the infinite. There's no way you do that. Pain in hell has two sides. The kind you can touch with your hand, the kind you can feel in your heart, your soul, the spiritual side. And you know?
Speaker A
The worst of the two is the spiritual. Hey Charlie, you're crazy. Priest taught me that. Terrific. You know any other tricks? Yeah, but I'll show them to you when I learn this. You know something?
Speaker A
She is really good looking. I gotta say that again. She is really good looking. But she's black. And you can see that real plain, right? Well, look, there's not much of a difference anyway, is there? Well, is there?
Speaker A
Oh, great. Great. For these prices, Charlie, you shouldn't complain. Yeah. That's the best I can do. Maybe next week I can do better. Okay. If you can't smoke 'em, maybe you can sell 'em. No, I'll be okay for a week. Oh, bless you. You seen Johnny Boyd?
Speaker A
No. He's supposed to be here. But who knows what'll go on in that kid's head, right? I'd like to know, Charlie. I think the kid's trying to duck me.
Speaker A
Don't you think you ought to care a little more about Johnny's payments to me?
Speaker A
I think you should. You know that. Michael, Michael, nobody's out to screw you. I guarantee that. Well, you're not looking at it from my side. You vouch for the kid. What happens if he doesn't pay? I gotta collect from you? I don't wanna
Speaker A
do that. You're right. I made a deal with him, not you, right? You're right, Michael. I'm not gonna pay his debts, believe me. I'll talk to him. I'll straighten him out. Straighten him out? The bum owes money left and right. Don't worry, Michael.

Speaker A
moment or two. What do you mean? You request my presence for a moment or two in the back room? I most certainly do. Well, after you. No, after you.

He's here? Yeah. So what do I care? Let me go get him. We'll straighten this thing out. All right? Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute, Charlie. What? Well, you're right. I'm right. Yeah. Was it last Tuesday? Yeah, that's the Tuesday that was
Speaker A
last week. That's before the one that's about to come up. My mistake. I'm sorry.
Speaker A
Forgive me. It was last week, the week before that I was thinking of. Yeah.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah, it was, huh? That's right. What's the matter with you, Johnny? You can't go around bullshitting people that way. If you're worried about something, you gotta keep it.
Speaker A
You don't know what happened to me. I'm so depressed about other things, I can't worry about payments. You know what I mean? I come home last Tuesday, I had my money to cash. I'm blah-blah-bing-bing. I come at home, I ran into Jimmy Sparks.
Speaker A
I know Jimmy Sparks 700, like, for four months. I gotta pay the guy. Lives in my building, hangs out across the street. I gotta pay the guy, right? Yeah.
Speaker A
So what happened? I had to give some to my mother, and then I wound up with 25 at the end of the week. And then what happened today, you ain't gonna believe, because it's just incredible. I can't believe it myself. Why? I was
Speaker A
in a game. I had like $600, $700, right? You gotta be kidding me. Yeah, in Hester Street. You know Joey Clams? Yeah. Joey Scala, yeah. I know him.
Speaker A
Yeah. - Hey. - Hey. So I was in there playing bankers and brokers. All of a sudden, I'm ahead like six, seven hundred dollars. I'm really winning. All of a sudden, some kid walks in and the kid yells that the bulls are coming,
Speaker A
right? The cops are coming, everybody runs away. I grab all the money, I go in. It's an excuse, like to get away. - Right. - You know, and I give everybody the money back later. And that way I get out, I don't have
Speaker A
to get into the game and get a loser's streak and all that. What happens?
Speaker A
I come out of the yard, I don't know this building. - What do you mean? I don't know nothing. - We couldn't get out. It was like a box.
Speaker A
Bing, like this. So I gotta go back in. Not only do I go back in, but this kid says it's a false alarm. - Imagine that. - I want to kill this fucking kid. - I mean, I wanna... - I was so crazy,
Speaker A
I wanted to kill this kid. Meanwhile, I gotta get back in the game. Bing, bing, bing, I lose $400. Meanwhile, Frankie Bones is over there. Frankie Bones, I owned 1,300 for like seven, eight months already. He's after me. I can't even walk on
Speaker A
Esther Street without ducking that guy. He's like he's waiting for me, like I can't move, you know? And he sees that I'm losing, right? So like he's waiting for me here. So he's tapping me on the shoulder. He's saying, hey, tapping me like
Speaker A
this, like a hawk. Hey, get it up. You're losing now. Give me some money.
Speaker A
He says, hey, Frankie, come on. You know, give me a break over here. Let me win some back. You know, I got debts. I mean, I'm in a big hole. He says, never mind. Give me the money. I said, OK, Frankie. So I
Speaker A
gave him 200. Meanwhile, I lost the deal. I go outside. I'm a little depressed now. Anyway, I want to cut the story short, because I know you don't want to hear all this. I know, I know, I know. But I'm going to make
Speaker A
it short. No, make a long story short. Anyway, I went to Al Kaplan. Got a new tie. You like the shirt? It's a nice, nice tie. Hey, Michael doesn't care if you're depressed. What is he, your priest? What, did he come out going
Speaker A
shopping when you owe somebody money, Johnny? That ain't right. - How much you got there? - I'm gonna pay him next week. I'm gonna pay you! You're going in, you're going in. You don't do nothing. How much you got there? I got about
Speaker A
$40. I got about $40 of that sort. - What? - What are you doing?
Speaker A
I'm not lying. I'm holding out this until next week till you make the next payment. What are you talking about? It's a little more than $40. - It's a mistake. - Yeah, it's a mistake. I swear to my mother, you come with me
Speaker A
next Tuesday, I signed the paycheck over to you, Charlie. I swear to my mother, swear to Christ, okay? Come on, you come in, it's $110, you give it to Mikey. Come on, give me some money. We got those two beautiful girls out there.
Speaker A
We're gonna get laid, Mom. I met those chicks in that Café Bizarre, Mom. They were fucking around with these two other guys. I know we're gonna get laid. And I want wine trombones. Very nice. Very nice. I want a banger like crazy. Yeah.
Speaker A
Come on. It's enough for you. Come on, give me another five. Come on. Which one do you want? Come on, you make you're leaving me with none.
Speaker A
We gotta go eat chinks. That's it. Now, you better make two for this for the week. All right. Which one do you want? Which one do you want? I want the Weintraub one. She's nice. I like that one. The one-- She the one
Speaker A
on the left? No, she the one-- no. What, your left or my left? We both stand the same way. Well, I don't know. What I don't mind. Hey, Gus, you and that little business talk of everything's OK now. Excuse me for a minute.
Speaker A
Hey, Tony, you think maybe you could put this under tab? Because something happened before, you know? And it would be-- you'd be doing me a favor, you know? Big tab or little tab? Well, don't you think it's better that you should put it
Speaker A
under a small tab so that it balances out with the big tab? Oh, so things even out? Right, right. - Joy, where'd you get those beads? - How about me, John? I don't get a drink. - Hey, Mikey, hey, you don't
Speaker A
get a drink. There's the best shit in the woods over here. Come on, give him a double, Tony, give him a double. Long time, no see. I know what you're gonna say, but don't say it. Because number one, I'm not paying for
Speaker A
these drinks. They're all in the tab. Number two, I'm gonna see you this Tuesday, Peg. I swear on my mother. I'm not my mother, but Jesus Christ. And, uh, Kate? All right, I just want to tell you to stay on top of it,
Speaker A
Johnny. Yeah, I'm with you. I mean, we don't want it to get out of hand. Don't worry. It ain't gonna get out of hand. Don't worry, Mike. I'm doing it for you. Yeah, come on. Have a drink. Gentlemen! The queen! The queen! The
Speaker A
queen! Da-da-da! Hey, they told me you were here and you're here. Hey, how are you? How's the glasses going? Okay, Oscar. How's everything going with you?
Speaker A
I was in the basement fixing the freezer. Would you believe that? Charlie, you're a good boy. Will you tell your uncle I have nothing? I can't make this week's payments. Listen, you talk to Giovanni, not me. I should hand this place over to him. You know that. I don't
Speaker A
need this aggravation. I'd rather have the loan paid. You know that, Oscar. Your uncle's a good man. I'm not gonna stick him. He either gets the money or he gets the place. And right now, it looks like he's getting the place. And you
Speaker A
tell me why I should care. I got a partner who is a bum. He disappears. I don't understand. It's Wiz Gropi? I should know. His wife don't even know.
Speaker A
And if he don't give a damn, why should I kill myself? Thank you very much Natalie.
Speaker A
How are you feeling? I thought that shooting last night, I was there, Uncle. No, you were not. Ah, yes, I must have confused it with something else.
Speaker A
Yes, you did. Say. So? About Oscar. I think he's putting on his act. About the restaurant being in bad shape and all that. Says he can't make the payments. He says his partner in the group has disappeared. What should I
Speaker A
do? Don't do anything. This business is bad. Can I help? Yeah, you can help by waiting.

Don't be impatient. You like restaurants? Yes, sure. Oh, you know what I do have? I got a good-buying toilet paper now. Oh, hello. Don't leave me alone. - What kind of toilet paper? I got Scott's. - I got toilet paper coming from the PX, the Army. - I

Speaker A
I'm a girl. - Yeah, go out and work. - Charlie, give him a break.
Speaker A
Close the door, George. Okay, before we take care of you, there's something I gotta show you. Watch this. Hey, what you got there? Look at the size of these guys. Tony, you gotta be kidding me. That's crazy. Look at this one. It's beautiful.
Speaker A
I don't have that pants on. Where'd you get this? How many piles of meat you feed him? I want you to keep quiet about this. I don't have a license for him. Where'd you get these? Nobody can go near him but me. I'm
Speaker A
the only one who can feed him. Watch. - You got a fella? - What are you doing? - We believe you, Tony. - What are you doing? - Hey, Tony! - What are you up to, Tony? - Raise your wine. - Be careful in there. -
Speaker A
What are you, out of your mind, Tony? - Where you going, coward? It's no wonder Italy lost the war. Here's daddy. Here's daddy. - Tony, be careful. - Really wanted to get a tiger, Charlie.
Speaker A
You know, little William Blake and all that. That's it. That's it, baby. Good girl. Come on. That's it. Don't bite. You believe anything anybody says. That's right, I believe in you, Bob. That's my charm. Some charm, pops.
Speaker A
What about the time he went on retreat? What about it? Yeah. Hey. Charlie goes on this retreat. He tells me a story about a priest who used to let this couple borrow his car for dates. But I didn't make it because they weren't
Speaker A
married. But two weeks before the marriage, they decided to make it. So they pull over to the side of the road, in the priest's car. Boom, Mack truck comes along, and they're both killed. That's the truth. It's really happened. No, wait. Charlie believes it.
Speaker A
I tell him, uh, two years before that, I went on, and the priest tells me the same story. This is a different priest. It's the exact same story. So that-- You get it? Yeah. That mean that the story ain't true, right? Yeah, but
Speaker A
the point is, he's really upset. But he don't understand. It's a business. It's work.
Speaker A
It's an organization. You know, Tony, you gotta worry about talking about one thing in a zap. You slide right into something else like nobody's even supposed to notice.
Speaker A
I was mad because they lied. I'm gonna tell you one thing, I ain't never going on no retreat. Never.
Speaker A
Why do you let those guys get to you? Because they're not supposed to be guys. Hey, listen, that's where you and I differ. What can I tell you? You want me to say it? You gotta be like me.
Speaker A
You wanna be saved. Bar's closed, kid. I'm just waiting for Joey. All right, sit down.
Speaker A
I gotta go to the bathroom. So, what do you want? Somebody to hold it for you? Jesus, this jerk. You got it, Charlie.
Speaker A
Hold this for me. Hold this thing down. George, you want to do something? Yeah, yeah. You know how he gets. My chair's getting...
Speaker A
- Hey, hey, hey. - Who is this guy? - Man, this place is really getting the crescent. - I don't know if that's an understatement. If I had my place every night, get bums like this down, have things happen. Call it something like
Speaker A
season of the witch. Get it? - Got it. - Good. - Bullshit. - Who's talking bullshit? Who's the guy with William Blake and the Tigers? Hey, come on, will you guys, will you shut up with the tigers and the witches over here? Come
Speaker A
on, let's get out of here. Come on, Tony, close the place. Get out of here when the place is ready to close. Well, why don't you close it now?
Speaker A
We get out of here, we go out and get something to eat. When everybody leaves, we close. Don't forget what's in there in the bathroom. Charlie, come here. Let me show you a picture of yourself. Not quite, but keep trying. Don't cough. Tony,
Speaker A
you want to have a game after we close? No. Yeah, come on. For how much? Scumbag. Come on, don't call me no scumbag. You can't pay what you owe. As soon as the game shows up, you bang, you want to jump in.
Speaker A
For how much? Why don't you use your head? Hey, hold that! Come on with you guys, we're friends! What the fuck is wrong with you? Me? He's the one.
Speaker A
You too! You're about to call me a scumbag. All right, enough! More wine. Yeah, more wine. Hey, they tell you to put the fucking chairs where the orchards are.
Speaker A
Come on, you want to go eat now? All right, enough, enough. You wouldn't know better than that. I'm sorry. Sorry.

Speaker A
recovered from that one, did you? - I never recovered. - If I wasn't there to be used as a punching bag to enable you to leave fast-- - That's because you're stupid. You should have ran and left safely with me. -
Speaker A
You? I'm stupid for getting my head punched in? - You shrieking. - My bad hand, my bad hand. - What are you doing? - Joe Black, Joe Black, I owe money. - I don't think that's him. - Yeah, it's him.

- Where is he? - Turn the corner, come on. - Is he gone? - Yeah, turn the corner, come on. - That don't mean he's gone. Come on, get over here. Turn the corner. What's the matter with you? Yeah. Oh! Whoa! Watch
Speaker A
out for that! You can't go home looking like that. Stay with me. Your mother ain't there, is she? No, she's on the island taking care of my grandmother. Hey, let's get some bread from my uncle's store. - I'm
Speaker A
sick about my aunt. - Yeah. - Your grandma's gonna die, right? - Yeah, right. - Did you like her? - What do you mean, did I like her? She's like Grandma. - So what? That don't mean nothing. - So what? What's the matter with you? - What's the matter
Speaker A
with you? - Anyway, she ain't dead yet. God forbid, so shut up. - Charlie, you ain't got nothing to eat over here. - I could've told you that before.
Speaker A
- You got nothing. I tell you, we know what we do. - What do you want? - I tell you what we do. I go over to my aunt's 'cause she got lots of food. She keeps a lot of food all the time.
Speaker A
I go through the fire escape, okay? Don't do that. Johnny, you'll scare your cousin Teresa you go in there that way. Oh, that's right, yeah. You know what we can do? She can have a seizure maybe, you know, then we can watch. That's
Speaker A
not funny. You gonna be a jerk off all your life? Grow up, huh? Want some food from your aunt's house, you go and you knock on her door, you understand? Yes, we can. I ain't hungry now. I'll go to sleep. Besides, where you
Speaker A
going at 6:00 in the morning? -Did you say your prayers? -Ah, hey. Very funny, huh? Hey, why don't you tuck me in, sweetie? Teresa, I had a dream last night about you and me. I gotta tell you this. We're in
Speaker A
this room, and we're both naked. And there's this huge white bed, and you're lying on it, and I'm standing over you. And we're just about to make love, and I come. The only thing is, I come blood. And blood went all over the place. Squirting all
Speaker A
over the place. All over you, all over me, my hands and everything. - I don't think that's funny. - You know, Theresa, girls bother me. They got no sense of humor. - Well, I'm a girl. Do you like me? -
Speaker A
Yeah, I like you. Well, I don't love you. - We'll see. - Forget it.
Speaker A
If there was any chance of me falling in love with you, Theresa, I wouldn't be here right now, believe me. - Because? - Because with you, I can't get involved. - Because? - Because you're a cunt. Wait, it was only a joke. -
Speaker A
Where do you get off talking Latin? - It was only a joke. - Theresa, hey, come here. - Hell, it was. Look at you. What are you standing there in front of the window like that for? Someone might see you.
Speaker A
Get over here. Come on. Go ahead. Jump out the fucking window. Don't look. Don't look. You really don't want me to look? Yeah, I really don't want you to look. I see what you're doing.
Speaker A
I saw you. Well, I wasn't doing nothing. You wild woman. Leave me alone. - Put your hands off me! - Let go of me! You're killing me. You should have seen it. Unbelievable. The kid went right to the bathroom and shot him. The guy would keep coming at him like Rasputin. Marona,
Speaker A
the kid was scared. We were more scared. But it doesn't make any sense. You mean he shot him just because he insulted Mario? It wasn't anything personal? The kid's a climber, not very bright. He kills a guy who insulted a big man, he
Speaker A
gets reputation. - He thinks he's made. - It's still sick. Not sick, just stupid.
Speaker A
Which reminds me, last night your cousin Johnny decided to break into your mother's house. Get some food. So why didn't you let him? Oh, that's funny. Hey, what are you... Put that shit down. What are you doing? What's the matter?
Speaker A
Hey, he doesn't know anything about us, does he? Really? I don't want him to know. Nobody knows anything. Your reputation's still safe. Hey, come on, smile. What's the matter? You look like you want to kill me. You want to kill
Speaker A
me? Go ahead, kill me. Miss, you can make up the room now. I only got two hands. We'll use them. Cut that out, will you? Oh, I hate shit like that. Excuse me. You have something else, Your Honor? Come on, kiss
Speaker A
me. Kiss me, I'll give you a zap. Wow! Hey, Hesh, how you feeling? Hey, pretty good. My uncle in the back? Yeah, but I think he's busy right now.
Speaker A
Hey, Charles, come in 463 combination. Yeah, thanks. What I'm trying to tell you He did it to defend Mario's honor. An insult to Mario is an insult to you. What are you talking about? No, no, I understand.
Speaker A
There was no insult. I know the kid. He was drunk. He made a fool of himself, not me. Nobody had to shoot him. He did it for a sense of justice. But here we have enough trouble that we don't need to look for
Speaker A
others. And then why should I fuck him? I never asked him to do anything for me. Anyway, send him to Miami for six months, a year. When everything is settled, I'll see what I can do for him. But for now, send
Speaker A
him away. I hate the sun. Come on, let's go inside, will you? What else do you hate? I hate the ocean, and I hate the beach, and I hate the sun, and the grass, and the trees, and I hate heat!
Speaker A
Charlie, what do you like? I like spaghetti and clam sauce, mountains, Francis of Assisi, chicken, lemon and garlic, - And John Wayne. - They're on in the mountains in Manhattan. - The whole building's the same thing. And I like you. - I like it
Speaker A
here a lot. You know, I'm really gonna take that apartment. The one uptown. - Are you? - Yeah, I'm really gonna do it. - Why don't you do it this time? - Oh, I am. I'm gonna. To hell with my music. I just can't take it anymore. - I take
Speaker A
it it'll be a good move. - I'm gonna do it. - So what are you waiting for? - I don't know. - Teresa. You can't wait for me now. I'm closing in on something in the neighborhood and I
Speaker A
gotta stick around. What are you afraid of? Afraid? What are you talking about afraid?
Speaker A
Go on. What's stopping you? You say you're not afraid of your parents, so go ahead and move out. For me, all I got's the neighborhood right now. What about me? Just the neighborhood and those guys down there. That's all that's important to me
Speaker A
right now. Right, guys like my cousin Johnny. No, not exactly your cousin Johnny. Well, I hope not, because he is crazy. I mean, he is driving me nuts. I don't know how you can be with him all the time. He's like an insane
Speaker A
person. What is the matter with you? How can you talk to him about him as your own cousin? Oh, fuck him. It's terrible. Who's going to help him if I don't? What's the matter? Nobody tries anymore. Tries what? Tries to... To help, that's
Speaker A
all. Help people. You help yourself first. Bullshit, Therese. That's where you're all wrong. Francis of Assisi had it all down. He knew. What are you talking about? He knew. What are you talking about? St. Francis didn't run numbers.
Speaker A
Me neither. I don't run numbers. Diane, how are you feeling? Fine. Excuse me, please. You know, uh, Diane, uh, I've been wanting to talk to you for a while now. Excuse me. Uh... Aside from all that joking around that you and I
Speaker A
do outside here, you know, when you're on, I... Excuse me. I really think, uh, you're a terrific performer. Hey, no, I'm serious. You know, you're really very good. I know. Groovy. You know, in a little while, I'm gonna have the
Speaker A
opportunity of opening my own place. Much nicer than this. Uptown. Sort of a nightclub restaurant and everything. And, uh, I was thinking you'd do much... You'd do very nicely for the place. Dancing? No, as a hostess. That's nice. Hostess? Yeah, you know, the people come
Speaker A
in and you greet them and you show them to the tables, everything like that. Listen, why don't we get together later on and we'll talk about it a little bit. Chinese food? Hey, Chinese food. Where you want me
Speaker A
to drop you off? No, don't stop. Just pass by real slow, okay? Hey, stop there! Am I crazy? Say, would you take me back to where you picked me up, please? Sorry. All right. Hey, you want me crazy?
Speaker A
That's all I need now, is to get caught in the village with the Melangean.
Speaker A
- How are you? - Fine, thank you. - Good to see you. - Good to see you. - How's it going, Lou? - Fine. - How are you, Oscar?

Speaker A
We'll discuss it later, huh? - Sure. I understand. - Shall I serve the tripe now?
Speaker A
- Anytime. Thank you, Arthur. You're welcome. They know where to come when they need us. I realized this a long time ago during the World War II. Charlie Lanke was working for the government, taking care of the docks.
Speaker A
What did he do? What did he do? He was there. That's what he did. I said the same thing to your father 20 years ago. He didn't listen.
Speaker A
You're still around that kid Johnny Boy. This Johnny Boy is named after me. Nice, huh? Oh, sure. But this Johnny Boy is a little bit like your friend Groppi. Half crazy. I understand you tried to help him out because of
Speaker A
our family and his family. When that's nice, I understand. But watch yourself. Don't spoil anything. Honorable men go with honorable men. Ogni simile attira il suo simile.
Speaker A
Don't forget that. And also, his whole family has problems. His cousin, the girl who lives next door to you, Teresa. The one who's sick in the head. No, she's got epilepsy. That's what I said, she's sick in the head. Her mother and
Speaker A
father came to me for advice. She wants her own apartment. What am I gonna tell 'em? Lock her up? You know I'm combative with them. So I listen. I have to take an interest. You look next door, keep an eye open, but don't
Speaker A
get involved. Charlie, why don't you take a look around the place if you want?
Speaker A
That's okay. I've been in and out of this place about 50 times already. Well, maybe you missed something. After all, you should get to know the place.
Speaker A
Jesus Christ, you are disgusting. Hey, Charlie, how are you? Teresa! Downstairs. Meet me downstairs, now.
Speaker A
Yeah. What is it? The bathroom. Uh... Can't make it tonight. Okay. All right. So, uh, is that also I'll see you on Friday? Friday? Um, can't, uh, can't make it Friday either. What do you mean? I can't see you for a
Speaker A
while. Don't tell me that. Teresa. Why? Because you are fucking things up between you and Johnny. You're going to ruin everything for them.
Speaker A
Ruin what? Oh, hey. I'm sorry, Mrs. Yorick. Oh, pardon me. Come on, sir. Now, - You're putting everything in! - You're slapping him out, Teresa! - Shut up! - Listen to me for a minute. My uncle's got me a lot
Speaker A
to run a restaurant that I want, but I gotta stay away from you and Johnny. - Does he know about you and me? - No. Does he know about Johnny and those loans? No, what are you-- wait, what, are you kidding me? Of
Speaker A
course not. He doesn't understand Johnny. You know, he's just a-- just a kid who needs to be helped. - Answer me! - What do you want from me? I said, do you feel the way he does about me? No! No,
Speaker A
I don't feel that way about you. I don't want to stop seeing you. I love you. - I don't want to say that.
Speaker A
- What? - That. - What? That you love me? Right. All right, all right, all right. Let's just get out of here. Okay, okay. But just let me get the rest of us first, all right? Then I think things are
Speaker A
gonna be easier. So, where have you been? - Um... - Around. You heard what happened to Groppi, eh? - Me? - No. Well, Oscar found out where his partner is. It seems Groppi went to visit his mother. He
Speaker A
went to her room where she was watching television. And he says to her, "He's sorry." That's all. Just, "He's sorry." He goes into the next room, gets a gun, puts it in his mouth, and that's it. How do you like
Speaker A
that? I tell you that Groppi was always half crazy. Half crazy to say the least. What is he? Not now, huh? Doesn't he see that we are talking? In a couple of minutes. We're outside. What is he doing? I think he's talking about something. Hey, it's a bit of my shoe.
Speaker A
Michael. - What is it, E.G.? - Okay, Charlie. A lot of aggravation, though, you know? Like Johnny Boy. I figure I give him all the breaks I can give him. - Oh, look, Michael. - No. No, Charlie, it's no good.
Speaker A
See? He's a punk bastard, Charlie. He, uh, called him down there at work, and I asked him if Johnny Boise doesn't even show up anymore. They told you that down at his place? Yeah. I mean, how's he gonna pay me, Charlie? Talk
Speaker A
to him, talk to him. What can I do? Tonight, Michael, at the party, the three of us, we get together and we knock some sense into his head. Okay?
Speaker A
All right, Charlie. Charlie, you know, I don't like being taken advantage of. I mean, you're inside there with your uncle and all, It's kind of embarrassing for me, you know? I apologize for that, Mike. We have some business, private, you know what
Speaker A
I mean? Yeah. Oh. I'm gonna be late. I gotta meet somebody. All right. Uh, we're still here tonight, all right? OK. Ciao. And, Michael, I appreciate what you're doing for me, all right? All right. She's very intelligent, too,
Speaker A
you know? Yeah. Yeah. She's going to college. She's gonna be a schoolteacher. I've only been out with her a couple of times. Yeah, I betcha. Michael, let me see that picture.
Speaker A
Yeah. She want to be a teacher? Oh, I know this girl. Yeah? I seen her kissing a nigga under the bridge in Jersey. What are you talking about? A nigga. As in Moulin Yacht. As in black. A nigga. What do you mean kissing?
Speaker A
I mean kissing. Her lips on his lips. It's kissing. You sure? Sure. I'm about it. I'm about it. Hallelujah. I've come to create order.
Speaker A
Carl, Jane, be in soda, please. May God be with you. And with your spirit. Let me ask you something.
Speaker A
What? Are thou the king of the Jews? Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others told thee of me? Am I a Jew? A king is none of this world. Jerry, hey, how you doing? Oh, hey, of
Speaker A
course. To Jerry, who served in Vietnam, following the immortal words of John Garfield, get him in the eyes, get him right in the eyes, came back with a silver star. One of the boys. Drinks, man. You can make a shirt
Speaker A
out of that, Jerry. We drink, man, or we bullshit? We're bullshit. George. George. Please tell me why, sweetheart.
Speaker A
Michael, play only old ones. Only old ones. All right. Did you overhear of a wish sandwich? What is the kind of a sandwich that you're supposed to take? Two pieces of bread and wish you had some meat. The other day, I ate
Speaker A
a ricochet biscuit. Well, it's the kind of a biscuit that's supposed to bounce off the wall back in your mouth.
Speaker A
If it don't bounce back, you go hungry. Charlie, Flash ain't here yet. - You said he'd be here. - Oh, he isn't. Nice, real nice. He'll be here. He'll be here. Look, I'll give you 20 bucks to haul him
Speaker A
from the canal. What, are you kidding? $20 doesn't pay the interest for two hours. Now with a vig, it's almost 3,000. 3,000? Shit, you charge a guy from the neighborhood 1,800 vig?
Speaker A
- One of these late with his payments. - What am I, his father? Don't you think you could have come to me a little sooner, friend? Charlie, this is business. Well, then be realistic, Michael. Where's he gonna come up with
Speaker A
$3,000, huh? Let's work something out. Make it 1,800. Don't hustle me. - I'm not hustling you. - Let's make it 2,000. All right, now you're being sensible about it. I swear to Jesus Christ on the goddamn cross, if that kid
Speaker A
thinks he's making a jerk-off out of me, I'm gonna break his legs. Michael, come on. You should have sense enough yourself not to get involved. - Don't tell me what to do, huh? - I'm telling you the truth. The fucking truth
Speaker A

Speaker A
hey, Charlie, come on. My hand was hurting. My arm was hurting. Your hand was hurting. Your mouth's gonna hurt from this kick. For what? Hey, I swear to you, what are you talking about? Besides, I don't like loaded crates. I tell you. You're
Speaker A
not supposed to like it. What gets me is your attitude. My attitude? What gets me is your attitude. Do you ever load crates? - You don't work. - I don't work. - What do you do? You tell me to go to work and
Speaker A
then you do all the talking. And what do you do? You do nothing. - I'll tell you something I don't do. I don't owe anybody 2,000 clams, stupid. I got Michael to make it 2,000, give you a break on that. - Oh yeah?
Speaker A
- Hey, you go to work tomorrow, Johnny, or I'm gonna break both your arms.
Speaker A
We understand each other? - Yeah, yeah. Hey, I'm sorry, Charlie, I really am. I mean, 'cause I appreciate everything you're doing for me, you know? I mean, I do.
Speaker A
So I was figuring that the next logical thing to do... Now, don't get mad.
Speaker A
- Oh, yeah? How? - Now you get something. - You know a way out of this? - Yeah, I know a way. - Oh, let me hear this one.
Speaker A
- Talk to your uncle. - Oh, that'd be just... just really great for you, wouldn't it, huh? - But not for me. - Johnny, one word out of your mouth. My uncle has one word about this. All right. Hey, I was just asking,
Speaker A
that's all. That's what I get for getting involved. Look. On payday, at least show up at Tony's place to meet him, okay?
Speaker A
This way he doesn't think that you're trying to make a jerk off out of him.
Speaker A
Yeah, all right. Hey, I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. Yeah. Johnny, come on. What?
Speaker A
Come on. What, we going now? Let's go. Hey, Shorty. Ah, fuck you, Charlie, will you? Shorts, you must be having illusions of grandeur. Hey, what do you want from me? Talk to him. I'm gonna see you and Johnny Boyd down here tonight, right, Charlie? Yeah, we'll be here.
Speaker A
I'm telling you, Charlie, that kid doesn't show up tonight, I'm gonna find him. I'm gonna drag him down here. I'm gonna tie one of his legs to that Cadillac bumper over there. I'm gonna tie the other to the Ford, and
Speaker A
boom, we'll be here. That'd be here, Charlie. Michael, don't you fucking threaten me. Miss? Excuse me, miss. Miss. What? What do you want?
Speaker A
I just want you to be sure and tell your cousin Johnny boy he's gonna see Michael tonight. Well, then tell him yourself. I'd love to. Where can I find him? I don't know. He doesn't live here. He's here all the time. Fuck you. Fuck me. Look
Speaker A
what you did, you-- you-- What am I doing? Would you just give me my fucking eggplant, please?
Speaker A
- You need to get something off. - Get out of here. Just be sure and tell them to be here tonight, all right?
Speaker A
You sure you didn't say anything about tonight? I told you before, nothing. Charlie, Charlie, will you listen to me? I can't stay here too long at this time of night. Now, Michael was looking for him. What's happening?
Speaker A
Nothing. I don't believe you. I'm sorry. What? What did you just say? Teresa, I put the hands already. I'm sorry.
Speaker A
Charlie, Charlie, what do you think? Look, won't you realize what this apartment means? Maybe after a while you could even move in yourself. Enough with that apartment already, all right? I don't want to hear anymore. I got enough on my hands right now with that bastard cousin

Speaker A
- Let's go. - You go. I'm staying. Well, I think it's obvious the girl doesn't want to accompany you. What do you think?
Speaker A
Hey, look, fellas, it's private. Nothing's private. I want to go. If she wants to go, she's not going to go. How's that? Let go of her. Take her away from me. You're helping me? Physically. You take her away from me.

Speaker A
where's the rest? - Well, I bought a few rounds of drinks over here while I was waiting, you know what I mean? If only since my credit ain't no good no more. - You know, $30 is enough of an insult. - But I'd
Speaker A
take it for Charlie. - $10? - John. - Hey, Mikey. Mikey, you're really something, you know that? What's the matter? You're too good for this $10, huh? You're too good for it. It's a good $10. You know something, Mikey? You make me laugh, you know
Speaker A
that? You know, I borrow money all over this neighborhood, left and right, from everybody, and I never pay them back, so I can't borrow no money from nobody no more, right? So who does that leave me to borrow money from but you? I borrow money from
Speaker A
you because you're the only jerk-off around here that I can borrow money from without paying back. Right? Right? 'Cause you know, that's what you are. That's what I think of you. A jerk-off. You're smiling like you're a jerk-off. You're a
