All language subtitles for Liberty.Heights.1999

Ben: I GREW UP IN THE NORTHWEST
SECTION OF BALTIMORE.

IT WAS ALL JEWISH.

IN FACT, I DIDN'T EVEN THINK
OF IT IN THOSE TERMS.

I JUST ASSUMED
EVERYONE WAS JEWISH.

Teacher: ABRAMS.

Ben: THE WHOLE WORLD
WAS JEWISH.

ACKERMAN.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS
IN THE SECOND GRADE

THE FIRST CLUE THAT
SOME PEOPLE WERE DIFFERENT

OCCURRED TO ME THEN.

COHEN.

COHEN.

COHEN.

DER.

Ben: I EVEN THOUGHT
PING DER WAS JEWISH.

THE "PING" PART
DIDN'T SOUND JEWISH,

BUT I JUST ASSUMED
IT WAS A NICKNAME.

HER BROTHER'S NAME
WAS MINHUEY,

AND THAT DEFINITELY
SOUNDED JEWISH.

I BEGAN TO SENSE THERE WAS
A WORLD BEYOND WHAT I KNEW

WHEN I HAD LUNCH
AT BUTCH JOHNSON'S HOUSE.

IS THERE SOMETHING
WRONG, BEN?

NO, THIS IS FINE.

I JUST NEVER HAD
RAW BREAD BEFORE.

Mrs. Johnson: WHAT?

WE ALWAYS COOK IT.

YOU KNOW, TOAST IT.

OH, I CAN DO THAT.

NO, THERE'S
TOO MUCH WHITE HERE.

THE MILK IS WHITE,
THE BREAD IS WHITE.

IT'S ALL
WHITE STUFF.

WELL, WHAT DO
YOU NORMALLY HAVE?

NOT THIS.

Ada: WHAT
WAS ON THE BREAD?

LUNCHEON MEAT.
I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT.

NOT BOLOGNA?
NOT SALAMI?

NO. LUNCHEON MEAT

WITH MAYONNAISE
AND MILK.

EVERYTHING WAS WHITE.

WELL, THEY MUST
NOT BE JEWISH.

THEY'RE
THE OTHER KIND.

Ben: A COUPLE OF YEARS
LATER, I BEGAN TO REALIZE

THAT "THE OTHER KIND"
WAS ABOUT 99% OF THE WORLD.

I WENT TO SCHOOL THINKING
EVERYONE WAS JEWISH.

NOW I KNOW ALMOST
NO ONE IS JEWISH.

THE OTHER KIND.

I WAS REMINDED
OF THAT REVELATION

THE SUMMER MURRAY,
SHELDON, AND MYSELF

WENT TO THE TURKEY HILLS
SWIM CLUB.

SHE'S GOT TO BE
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL

ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

LOOK AT
THOSE CIGARETTES.

SO SEXY.

SO SEXY.

* I GOT STEAM HEAT *

SHE'S GOT TO BE WILD.

IF SHE'S DOING THAT
WITH A PACK OF CIGARETTES,

SHE'S GOT TO BE WILD.

* I NEED YOUR LOVE *

* TO KEEP AWAY THE COLD *

* THEY TOLD ME TO SHOVEL
MORE COAL IN THE BOILER *

* THEY TOLD ME TO SHOVEL
MORE COAL IN THE BOILER *

* THEY TOLD ME
TO SHOVEL MORE COAL *

* IN THE BOILER *

* BUT THAT DON'T DO ME-- *

Ben: HOW DID THEY COME
UP WITH THAT ORDER?

Sheldon: WHAT?

THAT, UH, THAT THE JEWS
SHOULD BE FIRST.

YEAH, I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
IT'D BE DOGS, COLOREDS,

THEN JEWS.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN
SOME MEETING

TO COME UP WITH THAT,

'CAUSE SOME GUY,
YOU KNOW,

HE HAD TO SAY,
"I HAVE TO TELL YOU,

THE JEWS BOTHER ME MORE
THAN THE DOGS."

SO NOW A DOG GOES THERE.

DOES HE READ THE SIGN
AND LEAVE?

Murray: I DEFINITELY WOULD
HAVE PUT THE DOGS FIRST.

A DOG CAN TAKE A PISS.
YOU'RE WALKIN' BAREFOOT.

ON THE OTHER HAND,

A JEW IS NOT GONNA LIFT
HIS LEG AND PEE ON THE WALL.

YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER
SEEN A COLORED PERSON

SWIM OR SUNBATHE,
PERIOD. DID YOU?

NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT,

I DON'T THINK I HAVE.

'CAUSE I'M THINKIN'
ATLANTIC CITY.

THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE
ON THAT BEACH.

NEVER SEEN A COLORED
PERSON ON THE BEACH.

SO THIS IS DEFINITELY DIRECTED
MORE AT THE JEWS, THEN.

Announcer: THE SCHOOL
YEAR BEGINS IN ONE WEEK,

AND ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
WILL IMPLEMENT

THE NEW INTEGRATION LAW.

BALTIMORE CITY SCHOOL
DISTRICT OFFICIALS

DO NOT ANTICIPATE
ANY PROBLEMS

IMPLEMENTING
THE NEW LAW.

Ben: SUMMER FADED AWAY.

THE SUMMER FADED AWAY
AND WHAT?

THE END OF SUMMER.

IT'S A COMPOSITION OF
WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER.

IT'S HARD TO READ.

HARD TO READ.
WHAT'S THAT WORD?

MMM...JEWISH.

JEWISH, I THINK.

Van: JEWISH?

BE BACK IN
A LITTLE WHILE.

Morris: LIKE CLOCKWORK,
IF IT'S ROSH HASHANAH,

NATE AND CHARLIE
MUST PAY A VISIT.

WHAT CAN I SAY?
IT'S TRADITION.

THE CANTOR SINGS,

THAT'S OUR CUE
TO SEE THE NEW CADDY.

PRETTY.
PRETTY IN GREEN.

THEY'RE CALLING IT
"MIST GREEN."

IS THAT WHAT
THEY'RE CALLING IT?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING

TO TAKE A LOOK
AT THE CONVERTIBLE.

AH, ADA KEEPS
TALKING 4 DOORS,

CONVENIENCE.

CARL ZEITSOFF WAS IN.

I TOLD HIM YOU WERE COMING
TO SEE THE NEW CADDIES.

6-9-9.

HE ALWAYS BETS
THE SAME NUMBER.

FOR 10 YEARS NOW IT
IS THE SAME NUMBER.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SHOCK

IF THERE WAS ANOTHER NUMBER
ON THIS PAPER.

IS THERE ANY PRICE
INCREASE THIS YEAR?

LET'S GO BACK AND
LOOK AT THE PAPERWORK.

I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE
TO LOOK IT OVER.

IT JUST LITERALLY CAME IN.

GET A HAIRCUT.

I'M LETTING IT GROW
LIKE SAMSON'S,

SEE HOW STRONG I GET.

HOW ARE THE COLOREDS
DOING IN SCHOOL?

THEY'RE DOIN' GOOD.
DOIN' GOOD.

THEY'RE GETTING BETTER
GRADES THAN I AM.

GIRL'S PRETTY ATTRACTIVE.

WHAT?

UH, SHE'S ATTRACTIVE.

JUST KILL ME NOW.

JUST KILL ME NOW!

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
"SHE'S ATTRACTIVE"?

PRETTY.

OH, MY GOD!

WHAT? I SAID
SHE WAS ATTRACTIVE.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT I'M NECESSARILY

ATTRACTED TO HER.

SHE-SHE'S ATTRACTIVE!

BY THE WAY, WHERE'S
THE JAWBONE OF THE ASS?

WHAT?
WHAT?

THE--THE JAWBONE
OF THE ASS.

WHERE IS IT?

Rose: IS HE CRAZY?

WHAT KIND OF A TALK
IS THIS?

YOUR ASS DOES
NOT HAVE A JAWBONE.

WELL, SAMSON
FOUGHT THE PHILISTINES

WITH A JAWBONE OF AN ASS.

NOT YOUR ASS.
AN ANIMAL.

THERE'S AN ANIMAL
CALLED AN ASS?

SUCH
A MOUTH HERE.

Ben: LOOK, HEY, I LOVE,
UH, SAMSON AND DELILAH.

I--I--I HOPE THEY BRING
THAT MOVIE BACK.

"HE SLEW HUNDREDS WITH
THE JAWBONE OF AN ASS."

DO YOU BELIEVE
THIS STUFF?

I--I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU DON'T KNOW?

IT'S IN THE BIBLE.

OH, SO THAT MAKES IT TRUE?

IT'S IN THE BIBLE!

A STORY.

YEAH, A TRUE STORY?

IT'S NOT THE QUESTION
IF IT'S TRUE.

IF IT'S IN THE BIBLE,

IT'S FOR A REASON.

WHAT REASON?

A GOOD REASON.

THAT'S THE REASON?

IT'S THERE.
HE HAD LONG HAIR.

HE WAS STRONG.

HE KNOCKED
THE BUILDING DOWN.

IT KILLED THE GOYIM.

FINISH OF THE STORY.

THERE WEREN'T
GENTILES YET.

PAGANS.

PAGANS, SCHMAGANS,
GENTILES.

SOMETHING,
BUT NOT JEWISH.

YEAH, WE KNOW, BUBBE.

IF THEY'RE NOT JEWISH,
THEY'RE...

Ben and Van:
"THE OTHER KIND."

Ada: WOULD YOU GO
MAKE YOURSELVES BUSY?

YOUR FATHER'S NOT GOING TO
BE HOME FOR ALMOST AN HOUR.

GO WATCH TELEVISION
OR SOMETHING.

Nate: THEY CALL IT
"MIST GREEN."

Pete: AH, I THINK
IT'S "GREEN MIST."

Nate: HEY, PETE,
TELL LOUIE TO PARK THE CAR

AROUND THE BACK.

WE'LL BE COMING OUT AGAIN
FOR DINNER.

Pete: YOU GOT IT.

Louie: DO ADA
AND THE BOYS LIKE IT?

YEAH, EXCEPT FOR BENNY.
HE LIKES THE CONVERTIBLE.

Audience: OHH!

WHOA!

CAN I HELP YOU?

YEAH,
I'M HERE TO SEE

THE--THE--THE--
THE--THE--THE--

THE--THE--THE--
THE PHYSICIAN.

Nurse: AND WHAT'S
YOUR CONDITION?

Louie: SO WHAT'S
THE THOUGHT?

Nate: I DON'T KNOW.

BUT BURLESQUE IS
FINISHED, THAT I KNOW.

YEAH, TELEVISION
PUTS US IN THE SHIT HOUSE.

HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU
WATCH MILTON BERLE

DRESS AS A WOMAN?

THERE'S A LOT
OF GOOD SHOWS.

DID YOU SEE MARTY?

"WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO DO TONIGHT, MARTY?"

"I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?"

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT, LOUIE?

MARTY. UH,
GUY CAN'T GET A DATE.

HE'S SHY. HE'S A BUTCHER.

DO I CARE?

WELL, I THOUGHT
YOU SAW IT.

"MA, I'M AN UGLY MAN.
I'M A BUTCHER.

NOBODY WANTS ME."

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THE
PROBLEM I'VE GOT GOING HERE?

I HAVE TO DECLARE
TO THE I.R.S.

THAT I'M MAKING MORE MONEY
WITH THIS BURLESQUE HOUSE

THAN I'M ACTUALLY MAKING

JUST TO KEEP THEM OFF
MY ASS,

OR THEY'RE GOING
TO START LOOKING

AT WHAT ELSE I'M DOING
FOR A LIVING.

NOW LAST TIME I LOOKED,

RUNNING A NUMBERS RACKET
WAS ILLEGAL.

GOD FORBID THEY SHOULD
LOOK IN THE AUDIENCE,

SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE
WE HAVE. GOD FORBID!

Nate:
ALL RIGHT, TO BE A REALIST,

WE'VE GOT MAYBE 2 YEARS
IN THIS JOINT, TOPS.

SO WHERE ARE THEY FR--

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

DON'T GET PERSONAL.

LET ME LISTEN
TO YOUR HEART.

UH, UH, BA-BOOM!

Audience: BA-BOOM!

BA-BOOM!
BA-BOOM!

BA-BOOM!
BA-BOOM!

Nate: THE NEW CADDY
THIS YEAR COSTS MORE.

NEXT YEAR, MORE STILL.

SAME DOLLARS FROM
OUR TAKE ON THE NUMBERS

IS NOT GOOD BUSINESS.

I WANT EVERYBODY TO PUT
ON THEIR THINKING CAPS

AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW
WE CAN RAISE THE REVENUE

ON THE NUMBERS.
I THINK WE CAN DO BETTER.

MEANWHILE, I'VE GOT
EVERYBODY WAITING FOR ME

ON A ROSH HASHANAH DINNER.

Pete: I GOT AN IDEA.

I SAID PUT ON
YOUR THINKING CAPS.

WE DON'T NEED AN ANSWER
RIGHT AWAY.

NO, NATE,
I GOT SOMETHING GOOD.

ALL RIGHT.
MAKE IT QUICK.

WE INTRODUCE A FOURTH DIGIT
AS A BONUS NUMBER.

DOUBLE THE POT.

WELL, HOW DO YOU PAY
FOR THIS BONUS NUMBER?

IT'S 10% OF THE ORIGINAL BET.

SO IF IT'S 50 CENTS,
IT'S AN ADDITIONAL 5 CENTS.

60 CENTS, 6 CENTS.

70 CENTS, 7 CENTS.
A BUCK, 10 CENTS.

IF YOU SUSPECT A PERSON
IS A COMMUNIST OR A SOCIALIST,

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
IN AND OF ITSELF?

IF YOU SAY
YOU'RE A COMMUNIST

AND WANT TO BLOW UP
A BUILDING

OR SELL SECRETS
TO A SPY,

THAT'S A DIFFERENT
SITUATION.

BUT IF YOU BELIEVE IN

A DIFFERENT
ECONOMIC SYSTEM,

THAT SHOULD HAVE
NO EFFECT, PERIOD.

COME ON.
I CAN'T WRITE THAT.

I COULD WRITE THAT.
YOU JUST COULDN'T READ IT.

SUCH A SLOPPY WRITER.

IT WON'T LOOK GOOD IF
YOU'RE GONNA GET OLDER.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS
HAS TO DO WITH McCARTHY,

BUT THANKS.

THE BIG PROBLEM
WITH McCARTHY

IS HE PUSHES
HIS IDEALS AND BELIEFS

WITH INTIMIDATION AND
THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO WEAR FOR HALLOWEEN.

WHY DO YOU--

YOU'RE ALWAYS
CHANGING THE SUBJECT.

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS
GO OFF ON A TANGENT?

WELL, I'M THINKIN'
McCARTHY, WITCH HUNTS,

WITCHES, GOBLINS,
HALLOWEEN.

WHAT DO I WEAR?

GO AS A PIRATE.

Nate: THERE YOU GO.

YOUR GRANDMOTHER
HAS THE PERFECT SOLUTION.

LECHAYIM.

Family: LECHAYIM.

Group: "YEA, THOUGH
I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY

"OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,

"I WILL FEAR NO EVIL,

"FOR THOU ART WITH ME.

"THY ROD AND THY STAFF,
THEY COMFORT ME.

"THOU PREPAREST
A TABLE BEFORE ME

"IN THE PRESENCE
OF MINE ENEMIES.

THOU ANOINTEST MY HEAD
WITH OIL--"

Sheldon:
YOU STUCK ON SYLVIA?

I SAW YOU EYEING HER
DURING THE 23rd PSALM.

Ben: I WAS
WATCHING HER PRAY.

Sheldon: UH-HUH.

SHE WAS REALLY INTO IT.

I MEAN, LIKE,
HER HEAD WAS BOWED.

HER EYES WERE CLOSED.

SHE WAS REALLY PRAYING.

WOULD YOU EVER THINK
OF TAKING HER OUT?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

NOT IN PUBLIC.

YOU KNOW, ON THE SLY
OR SOMETHING.

LOOK, SHELDON,
I WAS WATCHING HER PRAY.

I WAS WONDERING
WHAT SHE WAS THINKING.

I WAS CURIOUS.

YOU KNOW, COLORED GIRLS
ARE GREAT WITH SEX.

THAT SO?

PROVEN FACT.

YEAH? WHERE DO YOU
GET YOUR FACTS?

WELL, I ACCUMULATE
THIS INFORMATION.

FOR ONE, COLORED GUYS
GOT HUGE SCHLONGS.

TWICE THE SIZE
OF A WHITE GUY'S.

WHERE DO YOU COME UP
WITH THIS STUFF?

ALL RIGHT, NOW, UNLESS
YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED,

WE GOT A COLORED GUY
IN OUR CLASS.

WILBERT MOSLEY.

I'M TAKING A SHOWER
WITH HIM.

MINE'S ALL SHRIVELED
UP FROM THE WATER.

I GOT MAYBE AN INCH.

HIS...IS HALFWAY DOWN
TO HIS KNEES,

I SWEAR TO GOD.

OH, GIVE ME A BREAK!

I SWEAR TO GOD,
HIS KNEES.

IT WAS GIVING ME
AN INFERIORITY COMPLEX.

SO I'M THINKING THAT
THIS CIRCUMCISION THING

THAT WE HAVE DONE, IT'S
NOT JUST ABOUT CLIPPING

SOME INNOCENT
LITTLE FORESKIN.

IT'S ABOUT
STUNTING ITS GROWTH.

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING.

I'M TALKING ABOUT

WILBERT MOSLEY'S
SCHLONG HERE.

HUMONGOUS.

HE DIDN'T
BELIEVE ME.

SEE THAT GIRL?

WILBERT COULD TAP HER
FROM HERE.

I THINK HE'S GOT
TO TIE IT TO HIS LEG

WHEN IT'S NOT IN USE.

GOOD GUY. SMART AS SHIT.

LETS ME CHEAT OFF HIM
IN MATH SOMETIMES.

BEN IS TAKEN WITH SYLVIA.

SHELDON, WOULD YOU
GIVE IT A REST?

MY PARENTS WOULD DIE.

YOUR PARENTS?!

HER FATHER'S ONE
OF THE BIGGEST DOCTORS

AT PROVIDENT HOSPITAL.
WEALTHY.

YOU'RE WAY
TOO LOW-CLASS.

YOU TRY TO TAKE HER OUT,
HER FATHER WOULD FLIP.

PLUS YOU'RE JEWISH.

GIVE IT 45 MINUTES.

YOU GOT TO TAKE A SHOWER
WITH WILBERT.

YOU WILL BE AMAZED.

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING.

* SHA-BOOM SHA-BOOM *

YEAH, I AM.
I'M A BEATNIK.

THAT'S SOME OUTFIT.

HEY, BEN, LET'S GO!

HEY, YOU'RE GOING
TO GO AS REINDEERS?

WE'RE VIKINGS.

VIKINGS?!
THEY'RE FROM HERE?

Sheldon and Murray:
OH, MY GOD!

OH, MY GOD! ADA!
OH, MY GOD!

Rose: OH, MY GOD! OH!

HAVE YOU
LOST YOUR MIND?!

HAVE YOU COMPLETELY
LOST YOUR MIND?!

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT? IT'S HALLOWEEN.

OH, THERE IS SOMETHING
WRONG WITH THIS BOY.

HE'S A LUNATIC!

BUBBE, THE WAR
WAS OVER FOREVER AGO.

OH, I CAN'T BREATHE.

WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING?

TO A PARTY.
IT'S HALLOWEEN.

YOU ARE NOT
LEAVING THIS HOUSE

DRESSED
AS ADOLF HITLER.

IT'S HALLOWEEN.
THAT'S THE JOKE.

COULDN'T YOU HAVE
GONE AS A PIRATE?

OR A REINDEER, HUH?

I CAN'T--

EITHER TAKE THAT OFF OR
I'M CALLING YOUR FATHER.

YOU ARE NOT GOING OUT
OF THIS HOUSE, PERIOD.

MOM, IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO
GET THIS COSTUME TOGETHER.

I HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN
TO SUNNY SURPLUS DOWNTOWN

JUST TO GET BOOTS
LIKE THESE.

OHH! ADOLF HITLER
IS IN THE HALLWAY.

I'M CALLING
YOUR FATHER NOW.

YOU ARE
NOT GOING OUT.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS
THINK?

IT MIGHT BE
A TAD TOO MUCH.

* NAUGHTY NAUGHTY
NAUGHTY NIGHT *

* WE'LL BE IN-- *

Nate: IF WE GOT THIS NEW SYSTEM
WORKED OUT WITH THE NUMBERS,

WE SHOULD START.

WE SHOULD GO WITH IT.

IT'S THE END OF OCTOBER.
WE SHOULD GO WITH IT...

SECOND WEEK IN NOVEMBER.

ALL RIGHT, LET ME TAKE
A LOOK AT THE CALENDAR,

SEE IF WE CAN
NAIL DOWN A DATE.

GAIETY.

PETE, PUT NATE
ON THE PHONE.

YEAH?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
HE LOOKS LIKE ADOLF HITLER?

HE CAN STAY IN THE HOUSE
ALL NIGHT LONG!

HE'S NOT GOING OUT
DRESSED AS ADOLF HITLER.

YOUR FATHER SAYS
YOU'RE DEFINITELY

NOT GOING OUT
DRESSED THAT WAY.

AND I'M NOT CHANGING.

HE SAYS
HE'S NOT CHANGING!

I--I WANT TO TALK TO HITLER.

Ada: HE HAS A
SWASTIKA ON HIS ARM

AND BIG BLACK BOOTS.

HE'S WEARING BOOTS.
BIG BLACK BOOTS.

HE CAME DOWN
THE STAIRS

WITH SWASTIKAS
ALL OVER HIM.

WELL, PUT THE FUHRER
ON THE PHONE.

YOUR FATHER WANTS
TO TALK TO YOU.

JA?

YEAH.

SORRY.

Ben: UH-HUH.

YEAH.

OK.

YOU GUYS CAN GO
WITHOUT ME.

YOU SURE?

YEAH, I'M--I'M
HAVING HALLOWEEN HERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
WRONG WITH BOYS TODAY.

THEY HAVE NO SENSE
OF HISTORY.

WELL, LOOK, THE WAR ENDED
WHEN HE WAS 7 YEARS OLD.

IT'S NOW 9 YEARS LATER.
TO A KID, THAT'S A LIFETIME.

TO US, IT'S A BLINK
OF AN EYE.

YEAH, BUT WHY DOES
MY KID HAVE TO DRESS UP

LIKE, UH, HITLER?

HE'S NOT GOING
TRICK!

OH, NO! HE'S NOT
LEAVING THE HOUSE.

WHAT'S HE GONNA DO?

TRICK-OR-TREAT.
IT'S HITLER'S HERE.

Charlie: THAT WOULD LOOK
GREAT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

Nate: HE WON'T
GET ANY CANDY.

OH, YEAH. THAT'S GOOD.

Yussel: YOU REALIZE
WE HAVE TO CROSS FALLS ROAD

TO GET TO THIS PARTY?

Van: YEAH, SO?

Alan: GENTILE TURF.

Van: NICK CAMPBELL SAID

THIS IS GOING
TO BE A HIP PARTY.

Yussel: I DON'T KNOW.
ACROSS FALLS ROAD.

OHHH, BOY!

GET READY, FOLKS!
JEWS ARE A-COMING!

OH, IT HASN'T

WELL, WHAT ARE YOU
WISHING FOR?

WELL, THAT'S TOO
PERSONAL A QUESTION.

REALLY? I DIDN'T MEAN
TO BE TOO PERSONAL. SORRY.

WHY? ARE YOU AFRAID
OF BEING TOO INTIMATE?

OR DO YOU PREFER
SMALL TALK?

YOU KNOW...KINDA GOT ME
OFF-GUARD, BUT I--

MORE PREDICTABLE?

I'D LIKE YOU TO BE
WHATEVER YOUR HEART DESIRES.

OH, UH, SORRY I'M LATE
FOR THE BALL, SWEETHEART.

WELL, THAT'S
A FIRST FOR YOU.

LITTLE CUT THERE.

YEAH. TRIED TO PARK.

I DIDN'T EVEN GET HER NAME.

* OH, LIFE WOULD BE
A DREAM *

* IF I COULD TAKE YOU
UP IN PARADISE UP ABOVE *

A HORSE IN WASHINGTON?
PLEASE!

THERE'S VALIDATION.

IMPOSSIBLE, LENNY.

THE STORY'S
ALL OVER THE PLACE.

THIS GUY TALKED HIS DATE
INTO BLOWING A HORSE.

HOW DO YOU TALK A GIRL
INTO BLOWING A HORSE, HUH?

GIVE ME A BREAK!

DON'T BELIEVE IT, THEN.

GET BACK TO LOGIC, TURK.

WHERE YOU GONNA FIND
A HORSE IN WASHINGTON

UNLESS IT'S A POLICE HORSE?

YEAH, AND WHERE'S THE COP?

Murray: EXACTLY.

NICE FEATHERS, BOYS.
WHERE'S BEN?

OH, HE'S AT HOME
CELEBRATING.

YEAH? I KNEW THEY
WOULDN'T LET HIM OUT.

YOU GOT
ONE STUBBORN BROTHER.

YEAH, TELL ME
ABOUT IT.

Sheldon: DID YOU HEAR
ABOUT THE SINATRA THING?

NO, WHAT?

WE'RE GOING TO THE UPTOWN
TO SEE THE MOVIE,

READY TO GET OUT OF THE CAR,

HE SAYS, "CAN'T
GET OUT OF THE CAR

UNTIL SINATRA FINISHES."

I TRIED TO GET OUT
OF THE CAR.

HE GRABS ME
BY MY SHIRT AND YELLS,

"NO ONE WALKS OUT
ON SINATRA."

SO WE HAD TO SIT THERE
AND LISTEN TO THE SONG.

THEN WE COULD GO.

LIKE I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT HIM AND SINATRA.

Murray: WE WERE LATE
FOR THE MOVIE THEN.

I DIDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND
THE PLOT UNTIL,

LIKE, 2 HOURS INTO IT.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

YEAH, IT IS.

Lenny:
YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

WHY SPEND A NIGHT WITH
JUST ANY KIND OF HORSE

WHEN YOU COULD HAVE
A HORSE WITH MONEY,

LIKE FRANCIS
THE TALKING MULE.

Sheldon: HE'S NOT
A HORSE, HE'S A MULE.

HE'S A MULE, LENNY!

IT'S A WHOLE
ANOTHER THING.

IT'S NOT AS BIG A FEAT IF
YOU BLOW A MULE, I MEAN--

WONDER WHAT'S BIGGER,
A MULE OR A HORSE?

I'D HAVE TO SAY A HORSE,
BECAUSE MULES ARE, UH...

INCAPABLE OF REPRODUCING.

HOW DO THEY
REPRODUCE?

THEY'RE INCAPABLE
OF REPRODUCING.

THEY DON'T REPRODUCE.

DO THEY HAVE SPERM?

HOW DO THEY--HOW DO
THEY MAKE MORE MULES?

THEY BREED HORSES
AND DONKEYS.

HOW COULD YOU
NOT GET HER NAME?

I WAS FLUMMOXED.

I WAS
COMPLETELY FLUMMOXED.

SHE--SHE DID THE THING
WITH THE WAND

AND I WAS GOING--

GOOD LUCK
FINDING HER.

I GOT THIS BAD CASE
OF BLUE BALLS RIGHT NOW.

I'M THINKIN' ABOUT HER
SO MUCH. I LOVE THIS GIRL.

WELL, YOU'RE GOING
TO BE IN LOVE ALONE.

SHE'S HISTORY.

AND I TELL YOU, I'M NOT
GOING BACK OVER THERE...

WITH THAT--THAT TAB HUNTER.

THAT SON OF A BITCH.

* OH, OH, OH, PLEASE *

* BE MINE, OH, OH, PLEASE *

Van: HE WANTED TO KNOW.

Yussel: LET ME ASK.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU WANTED TO KNOW

IF SOMEONE WAS CATHOLIC?

OR EPISCOPALIAN
OR PROTESTANT, METHODIST,

WHO GIVES A SHIT?

WHAT'S THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

ALL THOSE GROUPS?
NOTHING.

THEY--THEY
ALL PRAY TO CHRIST.

YOU KNOW,
IT'S PERFECTLY FINE

TO HAVE A JEW
HANGING OVER THE BED.

JUST DON'T HAVE THAT JEW
COME THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.

A DEAD JEW IS OK.

I THINK THAT'S
THE OPERATIVE WORD.

GO--GO FIGURE.
THEY ALL PRAY TO A JEW.

SO IN A WAY, THEY'RE
ALL REFORMED JEWS AT HEART.

I GOTTA FIND THIS GIRL.

I GOTTA FIND HER.

WELL, YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO PRAY TO GOD.

A GENTILE GOD,
MIND YOU.

Group: THE LORD
IS MY SHEPHERD;

I SHALL NOT WANT.

HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN
IN GREEN PASTURES.

HE LEADETH ME BESIDE
THE STILL WATERS;

HE RESTORETH MY SOUL.

HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATH
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS...

FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.

YEA, THOUGH I WALK
THROUGH THE VALLEY

OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,

I WILL FEAR NO EVIL...

FOR THOU ART WITH ME.

THY ROD AND THY STAFF,
THEY COMFORT ME.

THOU PREPAREST
A TABLE BEFORE ME

IN THE PRESENCE
OF MINE ENEMIES.

THOU ANOINTEST MY HEAD
WITH OIL.

MY CUP RUNNETH OVER.

GOODNESS AND MERCY
SHALL FOLLOW ME

ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.

AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE
OF THE LORD FOREVER.

AMEN.

HEY, NICK, NICK.

YOU GUYS GOT INTO A REAL
BROUHAHA THIS WEEKEND.

YOU ALREADY HEARD
ABOUT THAT, HUH?

I HAD A POLICE OFFICER
AT MY DOOR THIS MORNING.

WHY? THAT FIGHT
WAS NO BIG DEAL.

NO, NO, ABOUT
THE CAR CRASH.

YEAH, WHY'S A COP
COME AND SEE YOU?

ABOUT YOU GUYS.

US

THE COP SAID HE HEARD

YOU GUYS SAW
WHAT HAPPENED,

THAT YOU WERE EYEWITNESSES
TO THE ACCIDENT.

YEAH, WELL, THERE WERE
A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO SAW THAT.

I MEAN, WHY DO THEY
NEED US TO BE WITNESSES?

I DON'T KNOW.

THE GUYS MUST
BE GOOFING WITH US,

'CAUSE, YOU KNOW,
A LOT OF PEOPLE SAW THIS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT--
THEY DON'T NEED US.

YOU GOT ME.

ALL I KNOW IS THE COP
SAID TREY TRAVELSTEAD

WAS DRIVING RECKLESSLY,
SMASHING PUMPKINS

AND RUNNING THEM OVER.

HE THEN RAN THROUGH
THE PATIO AREA,

AND THERE WERE 3 GUYS FROM
ANOTHER SECTION OF TOWN.

I KNEW THE NAMES.

WHAT, YOU GAVE
THE COPS OUR NAMES?

YEAH. I DIDN'T THINK
IT WAS A BIG DEAL.

THAT'S TERRIFIC,
YOU KNOW. COME HERE.

LISTEN, THERE
WAS THIS GIRL THERE.

I--I FLIPPED OUT
ON HER.

I MEAN,
SHE WAS INCREDIBLE.

WHAT'S HER NAME?

I DON'T KNOW. I--

I KNOW YOU KNOW
A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE.

MAYBE YOU COULD ASK
AROUND FOR ME?

WHAT DOES SHE
LOOK LIKE?

SHE'S GORGEOUS. BLONDE.

SHE LOOKED LIKE,
UH, CINDERELLA.

REALLY, SHE DRESSED
LIKE CINDERELLA.

SHE WAS, LIKE,

SHE HAD A MAGIC WAND
AND EVERYTHING.

CINDERELLA DIDN'T
HAVE A MAGIC WAND.

IT'S NOT IMPORTANT

IF CINDERELLA
HAD A MAGIC WAND.

THIS GIRL
HAD A MAGIC WAND, OK?

I NEED YOUR HELP
TO FIND THIS GIRL

WITH THE MAGIC WAND,
ALL RIGHT?

SHE'S GORGEOUS, BLONDE,

AND CARRIES
A MAGIC WAND.

I'M BEN. I'M
IN YOUR HOMEROOM.

I KNOW.

WHERE YOU GOING?

I THOUGHT YOU LIVED
AROUND SCHOOL.

UH, DOWNTOWN.

I'M GOING--I'M GOING
DOWNTOWN. YEAH.

CAN I--CAN I ASK YOU
A QUESTION?

Sylvia: I GUESS.

UH...I ALWAYS WATCH YOU
SAY THE 23rd PSALM,

AND--AND YOU SEEM SO...

YOU SEEM SO ABSORBED.

WHY?

WHY DO YOU ASK?

WELL, I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMEONE
SO REVERENTIAL, I GUESS.

FOR ME, IT'S JUST A MOMENT
TO MYSELF, THAT'S ALL.

THE BIG QUESTION IS YOU.

ME

YEAH, YOU'RE JEWISH. SO,

WHAT'S THE 23rd PSALM
ABOUT FOR YOU?

I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT
OF IT AS RELIGIOUS.

IT'S JUST SOMETHING
I'VE BEEN SAYING EVERY DAY

SINCE FIRST GRADE.

AND?

WELL, I ALWAYS THOUGHT
OF THE 23rd PSALM

LIKE, UH...
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.

IT'S JUST SOMETHING YOU SAY
BEFORE THE GAME STARTS.

HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN
IN GREEN PASTURES.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
TO YOU?

HONESTLY?

YEAH.

NO IDEA.

HA HA. NO IDEA?

NO I-NO IDEA.

I MEAN, NOBODY'S
MAKING ME LIE DOWN.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THESE
GREEN PASTURES ARE.

HAS ANYONE EVER ANOINTED
YOUR HEAD WITH OIL?

NO.
NO.

HAS YOUR CUP
EVER RUNNETH OVER?

NO, IT HASN'T.

I'M GOING
DOWNTOWN.

THIS IS MY STOP.

I--I THOUGHT
YOU LIVED DOWNTOWN.

OH, IS THAT WHERE
I'M SUPPOSED TO LIVE?

YEAH. WAIT!

SYLVIA, WAIT.
CAN I WALK WITH YOU?

UH, CAN I WALK WITH YOU?

Sylvia: I DON'T KNOW IF
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA.

WE'RE GETTING CLOSE
TO MY HOUSE.

AND MY FATHER COMES HOME
IN THE AFTERNOON

ON OCCASION.

HE WOULD NOT
BE THRILLED TO SEE ME

WALKING HOME
WITH A WHITE BOY.

I UNDERSTAND.

I'M SORRY.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
WAIT HERE.

I'LL GET MY MOTHER'S CAR
AND PICK YOU UP.

BUT WHEN I DO, GET IN FAST
AND GET ON THE FLOOR, OK?

Nate: HEY.
Pete: WHAT?

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE
WITH 5 OR 6 OF OUR GUYS.

I'M GETTING
GREAT FEEDBACK

ON THE BONUS BET.

GOOD.
YEAH.

MR. KURTZMAN?

MY COSTUME
DIDN'T ARRIVE HERE.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

DID YOU CALL
THE SUPPLIERS?

YES, I DID, AND THEY
SAID IT SHOULD BE HERE.

BUT IT'S NOT!
SO I THINK THAT IT'S LOST.

WELL, I GUESS YOU'LL
JUST GONNA HAVE TO MAKE DUE

WITH WHAT'S IN STORAGE, THEN.

NO, I ONLY WEAR
MY OWN OUTFITS,

AND THEY'RE
VERY EXPENSIVE.

WELL, WHAT CAN I
TELL YOU, HONEY?

I'M NOT WEARING
ANYBODY ELSE'S COSTUME

ON MY BODY.

DO I NEED THIS?

GET IN.

HURRY UP.

COME ON.

GET ON THE FLOOR.

WHAT?

GET ON THE FLOOR!

IS THIS REALLY NECESSARY?

YEAH.

* YES, SHE'S A KIND OF *

* FRIEND INDEED *

* I GOT A WOMAN *

* WAY UPTOWN *

* THAT'S GOOD TO ME *

* OH, YEAH *

* OH, YEAH *

HE'S REALLY GOOD.

HA. YEAH. YOU NEVER
HEARD HIM BEFORE?

NAH. NO, NO,
I ONLY LISTEN

TO THE REGULAR RADIO.

YOU LISTEN TO REGULAR RADIO?

WHAT IS THIS?
WHAT AM I LISTENING TO?

THE--THE OTHER KIND OF--

THE OTHER RADIO.

OK.

THERE'S A PLACE NEAR THE ZOO.

NO ONE WILL SEE US THERE.

HUH?

THE ZOO. I THINK
WE SHOULD GO TO THE ZOO.

OH, YEAH. GREAT.
GOOD. THE ZOO.

* I GOT A WOMAN *

* WAY UP A-TOWN *

* THAT'S GOOD TO ME *

* OH, YEAH *

Ben: DOES YOUR DAD
KNOW CAB CALLOWAY?

WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT?

WELL, HE WENT
TO DOUGLASS HIGH.

YOU KNOW,
THE NEGRO SCHOOL.

NO, HE DOESN'T.

WHAT ABOUT, UH,
BILLIE HOLIDAY?

WHAT, JUST BECAUSE
WE'RE NEGROES,

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO KNOW
ALL THE NEGROES?

I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE.

OH, DO YOU KNOW
ALBERT EINSTEIN, THEN?

UH, NO, BUT, UH...

I THINK MY FAMILY KNOWS
SOME OF THE EINSTEINS.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

* YOU MUST HAVE BROUGHT
THE BAD WEATHER WITH YOU *

* THE SKY'S THE COLOR OF LEAD *

* ALL YOU LEFT ME IS A FETISH *

DO YOU THINK SHE COULD FIND
ONE OUTFIT TO PUT ON?

HEY, SHE'S GOT
SOME KIND OF GERM THING.

SHE DOESN'T LIKE TO WEAR
ANYBODY ELSE'S STUFF.

* IT'S ALWAYS ME
WHENEVER THERE'S TROUBLE *

* OUR WORLD
DOES NOTHING BUT TURN *

* AND THE RING,
IT FELL OFF MY FINGER *

THIS IS VERY UNIQUE.

OH, YEAH.
I'VE GOT A STRIPPER

WHO'S DRESSED LIKE
MY COUSIN MARCIA.

* BUT IT'S OVER,
IT'S OVER, IT'S OVER *

THIS IS NUTS. THE ODDS
ON FINDING THIS GIRL

ARE, LIKE,
ONE IN A MILLION.

TRUST ME, OK? I JUST,
I HAVE A FEELING SHE--

SHE'S THERE.

NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO FIND
THE RIGHT NEIGHBORHOOD,

BUT SHE HAS TO BE
COINCIDENTALLY WALKING AROUND

AT THIS EXACT TIME.

THE THING
I DON'T UNDERSTAND

IS NICK CAMPBELL
IS CHECKING HER OUT.

YOU CAN'T
GIVE HIM TIME?

NO, I CAN'T.
I CAN'T WAIT.

I CAN'T WAIT. SHE'S
ON MY MIND ALL THE TIME.

WHAT ARE WE
SUPPOSED TO DO?

JUST LOOK FOR THE GLOW
OF THE GIRL'S TIARA?

OH, I THINK I SEE SOMEBODY
WITH A MAGIC WAND.

IF YOU GUYS
WOULD STOP TALKING

AND LOOK AROUND,
LOOK AROUND, PLEASE.

SHE'S GONNA BE THE ONE PERSON
WALKING AROUND?

* I'VE ALREADY GONE
TO THE PLACE I'M GOING *

* THERE'S NO PLACE
LEFT TO FALL *

I HOPE SHE DOESN'T
HURT HERSELF.

* AND THERE'S SOMETHING
TO BE SEEN *

COME ON! WHOO!

Yussel: WHERE THE HELL ARE WE
RIGHT NOW

Van: UH,
I DON'T KNOW.

WE MUST'VE
LEFT THE AREA.

GREAT.
I'M SORRY.

I HAVE OTHER THINGS
ON MY MIND. JESUS.

Alan: MEANWHILE,
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD

IS MAKING ME
NERVOUS, OK?

I'VE SEEN 3 GUYS

WALKING AROUND
WITH TOOLS.

ALL RIGHT. I'M GONNA
GET US OUT OF HERE.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO
SUCH THING AS A DREAM GIRL.

DO YOU THINK
THAT MY FATHER

THOUGHT THAT MY MOTHER
WAS A DREAM GIRL?

NO, NO WAY.

LET ME
TELL YOU SOMETHING.

ALL RIGHT? THIS GIRL,
I'M--I'M OBSESSED.

IT'S--THIS IS MEANT
TO BE. PREORDAINED.

DREAM GIRLS
WERE INVENTED BY GOD

TO TEASE THE APPARATUS.
THAT'S ALL.

ALL RIGHT.
YOU SETTLE FOR LESS.

THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

YEAH, WHAT'S THE POINT?

DREAM GIRLS.

I'D RATHER NOT BE
IN THIS CAR

DRIVING AROUND

LOOKING FOR
MY DREAM GIRL

WHICH
I HAD TO LEAVE

BECAUSE YOU
WERE OUT FIGHTING!

DO ME A FAVOR.
LOSE MY NUMBER,

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
IF I WANT

TO CONTINUE
THIS RELATIONSHIP.

* AND IT'S OVER,
IT'S OVER, IT'S OVER *

COME ON, BABY,
COME ON! COME ON!

I THINK SHE'S GOING
TO GO TOO FAR.

WE'RE GOING TO JAIL.

DAMN GOOD ACT.

* NO ONE CARES
WHAT IT'S ALL FOR *

* YOU'LL BE MARRIED
IN THE CLOTHES *

* THAT YOU NEVER WORE *
YEAH?

PHIL, HEY.

SOME SHOW.
BEST IN YEARS.

LISTEN, IF SHE
STARTS SHOWING BREASTS

WITHOUT TASSELS,
KILL THE SPOT.

NATE.

NO NIPPLES. IF SHE TAKES OFF
HER UNDERWEAR, KILL THE SPOT.

NATE, NO.
NATE, BUT--

NO BUTS.

* NO ONE CARES
WHAT IT'S ALL FOR *

THIS IS SOME ACT.

YEAH, FOR 23 PEOPLE.

* THAT YOU NEVER WORE *

* SO KEEP YOUR SUITCASE
BEHIND THE DOOR *

* IT'S OVER. LET IT GO *

* LET IT GO *

All: MORE! MORE!

I WASN'T FINISHED YET.

OH, YEAH.

MORE!

THAT'S AS MUCH
AS YOU CAN SHOW.

I WASN'T GONNA SHOW
MORE THAN THAT.

I WAS JUST GONNA
GIVE IT A PROPER ENDING.

YEAH, WELL,
DO IT TOMORROW NIGHT.

WELL, MY COSTUME
SHOULD BE HERE BY THEN.

THIS IS YOUR COSTUME
FROM NOW ON.

YOU LIKE?

I LIKE.

YOU?

HE LIKES.

OK.

I LIKE.

UGH.

BEN, I DON'T WANT YOU
GOING OUT TONIGHT.

IT'S A SCHOOL NIGHT.

JUST GOING
ON THE PORCH, MOM.

COME ON, STOP FOOLING!

SO, WHAT'S THE NEWS?

WHAT'S THE BIG SECRET?

I WAS WITH SYLVIA.

NO. NO.

IN HER CAR.

OH, NO, HER CAR?

HER MOTHER'S CAR.

YOU GOT LAID.
BARE TIT?

DID YOU EVER HEAR
NEGRO MUSIC?

UH, I--I NEED DETAILS.

NO, IT WAS
NOTHING LIKE THAT.

THE MUSIC'S GREAT.

WHAT THE HELL
DID YOU DO?

WE TALKED.

TALKED? BULLSHIT.

NO, I MEAN,
WE TALKED.

I HEAR THEY GOT
REALLY SOFT SKIN.

I DIDN'T TOUCH HER.

YOU'RE NOT
GIVING ME DETAILS.

I'M GOING HOME.

NO, NO, NO, NO.
WE TALKED A LOT.

WE TALKED ABOUT
NEGRO SINGERS AND COMICS.

IT WAS GREAT.
IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.

SHE BLEW YOU,
DIDN'T SHE?

NO.

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

THEN WHY WOULD
I TELL YOU

I WAS WITH HER?

I DON'T KNOW, BEN.
I MEAN,

YOU TALKED
TO THE COLORED GIRL

ABOUT COMEDY AND MUSIC.
THAT'S BULLSHIT.

Pete: ALL IN ALL,
THE TAKE IS UP 9%.

Nate: GOOD, GOOD.

WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING? GET A CHAIR.

INTERESTING.
WE'RE EVEN GETTING

SOME WHITE BUSINESS.

INTEGRATION.
COLOREDS AND WHITES

BETTING NUMBERS
TOGETHER.

DOES THE HEART GOOD.

LOOK AT THIS.
GERMANTOWN, GOOD.

GREEKTOWN GOOD. EVEN
PIGTOWN HAS IMPROVED.

ALL WHITE AREAS,

AND THEY
ALL SHOW A BUMP.

NOT TO CAUSE
ANXIETY,

BUT I HEAR
THE STATE

IS THINKING
OF A LOTTERY.

OH, THAT'S OLD TALK.

LUKIE SAPERSTEIN'S
BEEN PUSHING THAT

SINCE THE END
OF THE WAR.

IT'S GATHERING STEAM
IN ANNAPOLIS.

THEY'RE LOOKING
FOR NEW REVENUE.

WHAT THEY SHOULD DO
IS LEGALIZE GAMBLING.

IT'S GOOD FOR BUSINESS.
VEGAS IS GOING THROUGH THE ROOF.

RIGHT, THEY'VE
ALREADY GOT SLOTS

IN ANNE ARUNDEL
COUNTY,

THEY SHOULD GO
ALL THE WAY.

THE FARCHADAT GOVERNMENT.

WHERE DO THEY
COME OFF THINKING

THAT THEY COULD RUN
A NUMBERS RACKET?

LOTTERY. IT'S
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

THEY'RE MOVING INTO
PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.

THEY'RE TAKING
MONEY RIGHT OUT

OF THE MOUTH OF
THE ENTREPRENEUR.

IT'S NOT RIGHT.

IT SMACKS
OF SOCIALISM.

THE GOVERNMENT
DOESN'T KNOW FROM SHIT.

THEY INTEGRATE
THE GOLF COURSE IN '51

AND SCHOOLS IN '54.

WHERE'S
THEIR PRIORITIES?

THEY INTEGRATED
THE CRICKET FIELD

IN CLIFTON PARK
BACK IN '50.

YOU CAN'T FIND
A COLORED PERSON

WHO PLAYS CRICKET.

I BEG TO DIFFER.
THAT WAS PART OF

THE SEPARATE BUT
EQUAL RULING.

THE COLOREDS
COULD ONLY

PLAY CRICKET
ON TUESDAYS.

YOU CAN'T FIND
A COLORED PERSON

WHO WANTS
TO PLAY CRICKET

ON TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY,
OR KISS-MY-TUCHIS DAY.

FOR THAT MATTER,
YOU CAN'T FIND

A WHITE PERSON
WHO WANTS

TO PLAY CRICKET.

WHAT IS IT
WITH THAT GAME?

IT MAKES
NO SENSE.

HOW MANY PLAYERS
DO YOU NEED?

WHAT DO THEY
USE, A MALLET?

ISN'T THAT THE ONE
WITH THE HOOPS?

THAT'S CROQUET.

NAW, CROQUET IS
SOMETHING YOU EAT.

EVERYTHING IS
SOMETHING YOU EAT.

NO, I SAW IT
HERE IN THE MENU.

CHARLIE, YOU KEEP
AN EYE ON THIS.

JUST WHAT WE NEED.
A STATE LOTTERY.

Yussel: WHO, UH,
IS GONNA TESTIFY FIRST?

Van: IT'S, UH,
ALPHABETICAL, I GUESS.

YOU KNOW, I--I TELL YOU.

I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE
THAT WE HAVE TO TESTIFY.

TREY TRAVELSTEAD.
YOU KNOW,

THE GUY
MUST HAVE COME OVER

ON THE MAYFLOWER WITH
A BUNCH OF PILGRIMS.

YOU KNOW, THAT
WHOLE PILGRIM THING

MAKES ME VERY UNEASY,
VERY UNEASY.

ALAN, WHAT TIME
YOU GOT?

IT'S 12:30. WE HAVE
TO BE IN COURT AT 2:00.

LET ME ASK YOU GUYS
A STUPID QUESTION.

YOU KNOW
ALL THESE LAWYER SHOWS?

PERRY MASON AND--

THEY ALWAYS
SAY IN THE COURT,

"DO YOU SWEAR
TO TELL THE TRUTH,

"THE WHOLE TRUTH,
AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH,

SO HELP YOU, GOD?"

THE WITNESS
IS ALWAYS SAYING, "YEAH."

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU SAY NO?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
SAY NO?

YOU SAY, "I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT I KNOW,

BUT I WON'T SWEAR TO GOD."
WHAT HAPPENS?

YOU GOT ME.

THAT'S INTERESTING.
I'LL ASK

ONE OF
THE LAW STUDENTS.

WELL, LET'S TRY IT TODAY.

Alan: WHO?

WHOEVER IS CALLED FIRST.

THAT'S GOOD BY ME.

THAT'S GOOD BY YOU?

YEAH, WHY NOT?

NO, THAT'S GOOD BY ME.

HE'S IN.

Assistant D.A.:
THE PROSECUTION CALLS

SYLVAN KURTZMAN
TO THE STAND.

PUT YOUR LEFT HAND
ON THIS BIBLE

AND RAISE
YOUR RIGHT HAND.

DO YOU SWEAR
TO TELL THE TRUTH,

THE WHOLE TRUTH,
AND NOTHING

BUT THE TRUTH,
SO HELP YOU, GOD?

NO.

WHAT?

NO.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

COMMUNIST!
YOU'RE A COMMUNIST!

NOTHING BUT A COMMIE!
HE'S GODLESS,

I'M TELLING YOU,
GODLESS!

YOUR HONOR, HE'S A RED.
I'M TELLING YOU,

HE'S GODLESS!

ORDER!

YOUR HONOR,
HE'S GODLESS.

ORDER IN THE COURT!

PINKO!

ORDER! ORDER! ORDER!

YOU'RE A COMMUNIST.

ORDER! ORDER IN THE COURT!
ORDER!

ORDER.

I'D LIKE TO CALL
A 10-MINUTE RECESS.

COUNSELORS,
SEE ME IN CHAMBERS.

YOU MAY STEP DOWN.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THE GUY'S GOT
SOME SERIOUS BALLS.

GOT TO GIVE HIM CREDIT.

Redd Foxx: EVERY YEAR, 50
OR 60 NEGROS PASS FOR WHITE,

AND YOU CAN'T TELL THEM APART
'CAUSE THEY DON'T SMILE,

SO YOU CAN'T SEE THEIR GUMS.

SO, IF YOU'VE GOT A WHITE FRIEND
THAT TALKS LIKE THIS,

"HOW YOU FEEL, PHIL? HAVEN'T
SEEN YOU IN A LONG TIME, PAL."

YOU OPEN THAT SUCKER'S MOUTH UP,
HE MIGHT BE ONE OF THEM.

I DIDN'T GO TO COLLEGE MYSELF,
BUT I SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE GO.

NO, I DIDN'T--
I DIDN'T DIG SCHOOL.

I DIDN'T SEE HOW KNOWING
WHEN WASHINGTON

CROSSED THE DELAWARE WAS GOING
TO HELP ME IN A BRICK FIGHT.

THEY GOT NOTHING ABOUT
DUCKING BRICKS IN HISTORY.

I'VE NEVER HEARD
ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

IT'S GOOD,
ISN'T IT?

UNBELIEVABLE.
UNBELIEVABLE.

Redd Foxx: I DON'T CARE
WHAT COLOR YOU ARE,

WHEN YOU GO HOME
AND PULL THE LIGHT OUT,

IT BECOMES A QUESTION
OF WHO WASHED.

MR. KURTZMAN.
YOU COULD, IN FACT,

BE HELD IN CONTEMPT
OF COURT,

AND I MAY HAVE RULED SO.

BUT THE PROSECUTION
HAS DECIDED

NOT TO PURSUE
THIS ACTION.

SO, YOU MAY STEP DOWN.

THANK YOU.

THE COURT CALLS
ALAN ZUCKERMAN

TO THE STAND.

STATE YOUR FULL NAME.

ALAN JOSEPH ZUCKERMAN.

PLACE YOUR LEFT HAND
ON THIS BIBLE.

RAISE
YOUR RIGHT HAND.

DO YOU SWEAR
TO TELL THE TRUTH,

THE WHOLE TRUTH,
AND NOTHING

BUT THE TRUTH,
SO HELP YOU, GOD?

YES.

BE SEATED.

WHERE WERE YOU
ON THE NIGHT

OF OCTOBER 28, 1954?

UH, THAT WAS THE NIGHT
OF THE ACCIDENT?

OBJECTION. WE HAVE
NOT ESTABLISHED

THE NATURE
OF THE ACCIDENT

OR THAT AN ACCIDENT
DID, IN FACT, OCCUR.

OBJECTION SUSTAINED.
ANSWER THE QUESTION.

WELL, IF THAT WASN'T
THE NIGHT OF THE ACCIDENT,

UH, THEN I DON'T KNOW
WHERE I WAS.

YOU GOTTA GIVE ME
SOME KIND OF HINT.

WAS THAT, UM, HALLOWEEN?

VAN. HEY, UH, I,
UH, JUST WANTED

TO THANK YOU
FOR HELPING OUT.

IT WASN'T
REALLY ABOUT YOU.

LISTEN. IF THERE'S ANYTHING
I CAN DO FOR YOU,

DON'T HESITATE.
I CERTAINLY FEEL INDEBTED.

LOOK, UH, WE'D LIKE TO OFFER
AN APOLOGY TO YOUR FRIEND.

TED WAS OUT OF LINE.

Ted: I DIDN'T MEAN IT
THE WAY IT CAME ACROSS.

Yussel: FORGET ABOUT IT
BECAUSE IT'S OVER.

Van: YOU KNOW WHAT?
MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME.

Trey: WHAT?

THERE WAS THIS GIRL
AT THE PARTY

WHO WAS A KNOCKOUT,
RIGHT, AND I--I--I--

I DON'T KNOW HER NAME, BUT
I'D REALLY LIKE TO FIND OUT.

SO, WHAT? WHAT DID
SHE LOOK LIKE?

SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL.
BLONDE.

SHE WAS WEARING THIS,
LIKE, PRINCESS

OR CINDERELLA
KIND OF COSTUME.

YOU, UH, YOU FOUND
HER ATTRACTIVE?

OH, UH, SHE--SHE
KNOCKED ME OUT.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

I GUESS.

WE'LL ASK AROUND.
GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER.

YEAH,
SURE THING.

BLONDE. HAD
A MAGIC WAND.

THANKS.

I'LL CALL.

GREAT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

HE WAS TALKING
ABOUT DUBBIE,

YOUR GIRL
THE LAST TIME I ASKED.

HE SEEMS
LIKE A GOOD GUY.

WE'LL FIND HIM
ANOTHER GIRL.

THERE'S BOUND
TO BE ONE

THAT HE
WOULD LIKE.

WHAT ABOUT MAGGIE?
SHE'S TO DIE FOR.

YEAH, RIGHT. MAGGIE,
CAROLINE, MEGAN.

MAYBE, UH,

WE COULD DO THIS
TOMORROW?

WELL, I HOPE SO.
IF MY MOM'S OUT.

SYLVIA?

OH, MY GOD.
IT'S MY FATHER.

WHAT DO YOU
WANT ME TO DO?

GET IN THE CLOSET.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
DON'T YOU HAVE HOMEWORK?

I WAS JUST
TAKING A BREAK.

YOUR MOTHER CALL?

NO, BUT SHE SAID
THIS MORNING

TO EXPECT HER
EARLY EVENING.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU
GET BACK TO YOUR HOMEWORK?

OK.

* SWING TO MY BABY *

* INSTEAD OF ME *

* NOW I KNOW THAT IT'S *

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I HAVE A BOY OVER.

BUT IT WAS NOTHING.
WE WERE JUST

LISTENING TO
RECORDS. THAT'S IT.

AND WHERE IS HE?

HE'S IN THE CLOSET.

IF NOTHING WAS GOING ON,
WHY IS HE IN THE CLOSET?

BECAUSE HE'S WHITE.

SYLVIA, HOW COULD
YOU DO SUCH A THING?

WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

BEN KURTZMAN.

MR. KURTZMAN?

YES, SIR.

MY DAUGHTER
IS NOT ALLOWED

TO BE INVOLVED
WITH A WHITE BOY.

IT'S NOT A RESPECTFUL
WAY TO ACT.

I WAS RESPECTFUL,
SIR.

YOU'RE IN
MY DAUGHTER'S BEDROOM.

YES, SIR.

MR. KURTZMAN?

YES, SIR?

WOULD YOU COME OUT
OF THE CLOSET, PLEASE?

YES, SIR.

NOW?

I DON'T EVER
WANT TO SEE YOU

WITH MY DAUGHTER
AGAIN.

SIR, I JUST DON'T--

AT SCHOOL, YOU
WILL BE RESPECTFUL,

CORDIAL,
BUT NO ACTIVITIES

OUTSIDE
THE SCHOOL FACILITY.

IS THAT CLEAR?

YES, SIR.
I JUST DON'T THINK--

IT'S VERY CLEAR
TO MY DAUGHTER.

DON'T YOU AGREE,
SYLVIA?

YES.

NOW, MR. KURTZMAN,
WILL YOU PLEASE LEAVE?

HE NEEDS
A RIDE HOME.

I'LL DRIVE HIM.

SYLVIA, YOU WILL
REMAIN HERE.

* WITH A RISE
OUT OF BEING ALIVE *

* AND HERE
IS THE BEST PART *

* YOU HAVE A HEAD START *

* IF YOU ARE AMONG
THE VERY YOUNG AT HEART *

THIS IS YOUR HOUSE?

YES, SIR.

SHOULDN'T YOU
BE GETTING OUT?

IT'S SINATRA, SIR.

AND SO?

WELL, YOU DON'T WALK OUT
ON FRANK, SIR.

I MEAN, IT WOULD
BE TOO DISRESPECTFUL.

UH-HUH.

* AND IF YOU
SHOULD SURVIVE TO 105 *

* LOOK AT ALL-- *

I GOTTA GO.

* YOU'LL DERIVE
OUT OF BEING ALIVE *

* AND HERE
IS THE BEST PART *

* YOU HAVE A HEAD START *

* IF YOU ARE AMONG
THE VERY YOUNG AT HEART *

OK, IT'S OVER NOW.

GOOD NIGHT, SIR.

THIS IS IT, OK, 2
YEAH.

THE BONUS WAS 4.
OK, OK.

LISTEN TO ME. DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS ON $50?

OK.
THAT'S $100,000.

WE'RE SCREWED!

SCREWED IS NOT THE WORD.

YES, I KNOW.

WHO BETS $50 ON A NUMBER?

NOBODY BETS $50.

OH, GOD.

NOBODY BETS $50.

WHAT DO WE GOT
IN RESERVE?

WE HAVE
ANYTHING THERE?

WE HAVE MONEY
IN RESERVE,

BUT NOT ENOUGH
TO COVER THE BET.

YOU'VE GOT TO TELL HIM,
BUT HE'S AT DINNER.

I WILL CALL HIM,
ALL RIGHT?

SHE'S GONNA KILL ME.

IT'S RINGING.

THANKS, MA.

YEAH, WHAT'S UP?

YOU'RE NOT GONNA
BELIEVE THIS.

I'M SICK TO MY STOMACH.

I'M SICK TO MY STOMACH.

CHARLIE, WHAT?

SOMEBODY HIT THE NUMBER
AND THE BONUS.

YEAH?

YEAH. THE PAY-OUT
IS $100,000.

$100,000?

OH, MY GOD.
ARE YOU SURE?

I CHECKED IT
6 TIMES OVER.

JESUS.

WELL, WHAT ARE WE
GONNA DO, NATE?

WE DON'T HAVE
THAT KIND OF MONEY.

I'M COMING DOWN.

WHAT'S
HAPPENING?

UM, I'VE GOT TO GO.
WE'VE GOT PROBLEMS.

Charlie: HIS NAME
IS LITTLE MELVIN.

COLORED DRUG DEALER OVER
ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.

SELLS REEFER.
STRICTLY SMALL TIME.

BETS $50 TO CELEBRATE
HIS MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
THIS WIPES ME OUT.

HE CALLED,
THIS LITTLE MELVIN.

HE'S COMING BY IN THE MORNING
TO PICK UP HIS HAUL.

YOU DIDN'T LET ON?

NO, NO. LISTEN, NATE,
I FEEL RESPONSIBLE.

THE BONUS WAS MY IDEA.

HEY, TO HELL WITH
THIS APOLOGY SHIT.

I BOUGHT THE IDEA.

NOBODY BETS $50
ON A NUMBER. NOBODY.

A NICKEL, A DIME,
A QUARTER, A BUCK.

5 TOPS. 50 NEVER.
IT'S UNHEARD OF.

Charlie: WHAT ARE
WE GONNA DO, NATE?

I DON'T KNOW.
BUT WE DON'T HAVE

A LOT OF TIME
TO FIND A SOLUTION.

SO HOW COME WE NEVER
TALK ABOUT WHAT DAD DOES?

BECAUSE IT'S ILLEGAL.

IT'S NOT THAT BAD.

IS EVERYTHING
GONNA BE ALL RIGHT?

YOUR FATHER
TAKES CARE OF HIMSELF.

Rose: WHY DON'T YOU TELL THEM
ABOUT PATTERSON PARK?

Van: WHAT ABOUT
PATTERSON PARK?

Rose: WHEN YOUR FATHER
WAS A TEENAGER,

HE WENT OVER
TO PATTERSON PARK.

Rose: WHY, I'LL NEVER KNOW.

HE SAW SOME GUYS
PLAYING BALL,

AND HE TRIED
TO GET INTO THE GAME.

ONE OF THE GUYS ASKED
IF YOUR FATHER WAS JEWISH.

HE SAID HE WAS.
ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER

AND YOUR FATHER
WAS BEATEN UP.

BLACK AND BLUE.

AFTER THAT,
HE WENT TO THE J.C.C.

EVERY DAY AFTER SCHOOL
TO LEARN TO BOX.

FOR 6 MONTHS, HE TRAINED.
EVERY DAY.

THEN HE WENT BACK
TO PATTERSON PARK.

GOT UP ON A CAR
AND YELLED,

"THERE'S A JEW
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ANYONE WHO DOESN'T
LIKE IT, STEP UP."

HE BEAT UP
7 GUYS THAT DAY.

YOUR FATHER
TAKES CARE OF HIMSELF.

All: THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD;
I SHALL NOT WANT.

HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN
IN GREEN PASTURES.

HE LEADETH ME
BESIDE THE STILL WATERS.

HE RESTORETH MY SOUL.

HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATHS
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.

YEA, THOUGH I WALK
THROUGH THE VALLEY

OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH...

SURELY GOODNESS
AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW...

AND I WILL DWELL IN
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER.

AMEN.

MR. MELVIN.

YEAH, YEAH.
PETE.

I'M THINKING
OF GIVING YOU

THE SOUTHEAST
TERRITORY.

YOU TAKE OVER
THE NUMBERS.

LONG-TERM DOLLARS.

YOU TRYING TO JEW ME
OUT OF MY MONEY?

HEY, YOU WATCH
YOUR TONGUE!

I DON'T TAKE SHIT FROM
NO HEBE, YOU UNDERSTAND?

LISTEN, YOU
SPEAR-CHUCKING COON,

I'LL PUT MY FIST
DOWN YOUR THROAT.

YEAH, COME ON,
YOU HOOKNOSED KIKE!

LITTLE MELVIN DON'T
TAKE SHIT FROM NOBODY!

YOU'RE A DEAD MAN,

YOU BUSH-MONKEY
BURRHEAD!

LITTLE MELVIN
AIN'T SCARED OF NOBODY!

SIMMER DOWN, LOUIE!
BUSH MONKEY!

BACK HIM UP,
BACK HIM UP, NOW!

STOP IT!

NOW WE'VE ALL COME TOO
FAR TO STOOP TO THIS.

Louie: COME ON.

CHARLIE, YOU GIVE
LITTLE MELVIN HIS MONEY.

IF HE DOESN'T WANT
TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE,

THAT'S HIS PROBLEM.

WHAT'S MY PROBLEM?

NO, NO, NO, LOOK,
I--I APOLOGIZE.

YOU JUST MAKE
YOURSELF COMFORTABLE,

CHARLIE'S GONNA
GET YOUR MONEY.

EXACTLY HOW BIG A PICTURE
IS THIS HERE BIG PICTURE?

WELL,
THE SOUTHEAST TERRITORY

GENERATES JUST UNDER
10 GRAND A MONTH.

IN LESS THAN A YEAR,
YOU'VE GOT PAYBACK.

AFTER THAT,
IT'S KA-CHING, KA-CHING,

DAY IN, DAY OUT.
THAT'S WHAT I HAD IN MIND.

WEEK IN, WEEK OUT?

OH, IT'S YOUR CALL.

YOU EITHER GO FOR
THE SHORT-TERM MONEY

OR YOU GO
FOR THE LONG HAUL.

ALL MINE NOW
NO MIDDLE MAN?

WELL, WHY ARE YOU GIVING UP
THE TERRITORY, THEN?

LOOK,
THERE'S NO QUESTION

THAT 100,000
CUTS INTO MY CASH FLOW.

I CAN LIVE WITH THAT.

BUT THIS BURLESQUE,
IT'S TOO TIME-CONSUMING.

YOU GET A LITTLE OLDER,
YOUR PRIORITIES CHANGE.

WELL...

Nate: THAT WAS
A GOOD DECISION.

Little Melvin: YOU
JUST BETTER KEEP A LEASH

ON THE PILLSBURY
JEW-BOY OVER THERE.

WHERE THE MONEY?

BIGGER THINGS ON
THE HORIZON, SCRIBBLES.

Charlie: HOW CAN WE GIVE HIM
THE SOUTHEAST TERRITORY?

WE DON'T EVEN OWN IT.
IT'S WOP TERRITORY.

Nate: LOOK, LET'S WAIT
A COUPLE OF DAYS.

CALL LITTLE MELVIN,

YOU TELL HIM
THE SOUTHEAST TERRITORY

THING'S NOT
GONNA WORK OUT.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT
A NEW DEAL ON THE TABLE.

OH, AND LET HIM
PICK THE MEETING SPOT.

MAKE HIM FEEL GOOD.

PHONE BOOK.

Teacher: ALL RIGHT,
STUDENTS, SETTLE DOWN.

BOOKS ON YOUR HEAD.

I SLIPPED 2 TICKETS
IN YOUR LOCKER.

THE ROYAL, FRIDAY NIGHT.

I THINK
YOU'LL LIKE THE ACTS.

FOR THE TWO OF US?

I MEAN, ISN'T THAT
A COLORED PLACE?

NO, BRING A FRIEND,
AND I'LL GO WITH A FRIEND.

WE WON'T SIT TOGETHER.

IS IT SAFE?

YEAH, DON'T WORRY.

HEY, DO YOU THINK
IF A BOMB FELL,

THIS BOOK
COULD SAVE MY LIFE?

I DON'T KNOW.

LAST YEAR WE HAD
TO LIE ON THE FLOOR.

IT'S A DIFFERENT
POSITION NOW.

ONE TIME IT WAS
THE ATOMIC BOMB.

ANOTHER TIME IT WAS
THE HYDROGEN BOMB.

AND THE HYDROGEN
COULD NEVER GET

THROUGH THIS BOOK.

COME TO THE ROYAL.

OK.

SYLVIA GOT ME
A COUPLE OF TICKETS

TO GO SEE JAMES BROWN
AT THE ROYAL.

WHO?

JAMES BROWN.

WHO'S HE?

HE'S A--HE'S A SINGER.

THE ROYAL.
ISN'T THAT...

A COLORED THEATER?

UH, THE PROBLEM IS I CAN
ONLY TAKE ONE OF YOU.

I DON'T WANT
TO MAKE THE DECISION,

SO YOU GUYS--YOU GUYS
CAN BATTLE THAT OUT.

YEAH, WELL, UH...

DOESN'T
REALLY MATTER.

SO SHE'S
TAKING A FRIEND,

AND I HAVE
TO CHOOSE A FRIEND.

I DON'T--I DON'T
WANT TO CHOOSE.

SHE'S TAKING
A FRIEND?

YEAH, SHE'S
TAKING A FRIEND.

A COLORED GIRL?

I ASSUME SO.

WELL, YOU THINK...
I'LL GO.

YOU WANT TO GO?

I WANT TO GO. YOU

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, I'M REALLY INTO

WE'RE ALL GONNA GO HOME.

WELL, THERE'S PROBABLY
TIME FOR, LIKE...

A LITTLE
PUTTING OUT.

A LITTLE PUTTING OUT?

NO, IT'S NOT
THAT KIND OF THING.

WE'RE NOT EVEN
SITTING TOGETHER.

I'M SURE SHE'LL
WANT TO PUT OUT.

YOU'RE SURE OF THIS?

YEAH.
BEN...

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

ALL COLORED GIRLS,
YOU KNOW.

WELL, IT'S NOT
THAT KIND OF THING.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD
MAKE IT THAT KIND OF THING?

A LITTLE SOMETHING
CALLED SPANISH FLY.

SPANISH FLY?

THEY WILL GO NUTS
FOR US.

YOU WANT ME TO GIVE
THEM SPANISH FLY?

WE'RE NOT EVEN
SITTING TOGETHER.

GUYS, THAT STUFF
IS DANGEROUS.

WELL,

ANYWAY, THE POINT
OF THE STORY IS,

SHE RUBS IT ALL OVER
HER BODY,

SHE GETS SO WILD,

SHE MOUNTS A STICK
SHIFT IN THE CAR.

SHE DIES. SHE DIES--
SHE DIED, SHELDON.

RIGHT. WELL, WHICH ONE

Rose: SYLVAN.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

SKIN DARKER THAN THE BAG
IS LOW-CLASS.

MAN DON'T GET
THE RESPECT HE DESERVES.

YOU KNOW, THEY SAY
IF YOU WEAR

A HORSESHOE RING
IN THAT DIRECTION,

ALL THE GOOD LUCK
TENDS TO RUN OUT.

THAT'S JUST
THE WAY YOU SEE IT.

I SEE IT A WHOLE
DIFFERENT WAY.

IF THE WHITE MAN

AND THAT IS A FACT.

Trey: LET ME ASK
YOU GUYS A QUESTION.

WE JUST FINISHED READING
DEATH OF A SALESMAN IN SCHOOL.

UH, IS THAT A PLAY ABOUT
A JEWISH FAMILY OR NOT?

I DON'T KNOW.

ARTHUR MILLER WROTE IT,
AND HE'S JEWISH.

I MEAN, WILLY LOMAN,
SALESMAN.

EXCEPT THE BOYS' NAMES.
WHAT IS IT

BIFF AND HAPPY.

THAT'S
A CRAZY NAME. BIFF.

BIFF. YEAH,
HE PROBABLY WANTED

TO AVOID THAT WHOLE
JEWISH THING.

Van: WHAT THING?
YOU KNOW...

WHAT

THEY'D SAY, "WHAT WAS
THAT PLAY THAT WE SAW?

"THAT JEWISH PLAY
THAT WE SAW. IT WAS GOOD.

ABOUT THE JEWISH FAMILY."

NOT A SALESMAN PLAY,
A JEWISH SALESMAN PLAY.

Trey: HE PROBABLY WANTED
TO MAKE IT MORE UNIVERSAL.

EXACTLY!
I WILL GRANT YOU THIS,

THERE ARE VERY FEW
JEWISH BALLPLAYERS.

TRUE. VERY, VERY TRUE.

YEAH. YOU'LL NEVER HEAR,
"GROUND BALL TO SHORT.

"FLO ZIEGFIELD
MOVES TO HIS RIGHT,

"SCOOPS IT TO LEONARD
BERNSTEIN AT SECOND,

WHO FIRES TO FIRST.
GEORGE GERSHWIN STRETCHES.

DOUBLE PLAY!"
THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

Van: THIS IS, LIKE,
A MUCH LARGER PARTY

THAN THAT
HALLOWEEN THING.

Trey: OH, WE WERE JUST
SLUMMING AT THAT ONE.

Yussel:
THAT WAS SLUMMING?

LIKE, WHEN DO
WE SLUM AGAIN?

THIS IS NICE.

JEEZ, THIS IS
SOME FARM.

I BELIEVE IT'S A LAND
GRANT FROM A KING.

GRANT? KINGS DON'T
GRANT JEWS SHIT.

NOT NOW, OK?
NOT NOW.

THAT'S, UH,
MAGGIE RIDGLEY.

BYE.
BYE.

OH, I'D POP HER.

Trey: THAT'S
SALLY BRECKENRIDGE.

HER FATHER'S
WITH DuPONT.

I'D POP HER, TOO.
SHE WOULD SEE.

SHE WOULD KNOW.

YEAH, WELL, THE ONE
IN THE WHITE HAT,

THAT'S
ANNE WHITTIER.

THAT'S
YOUR BEST BET.

OH, YEAH?

VERY EASY.

FABULOUS.

I DON'T SEE HER. I DON'T
SEE THE LITTLE PRINCESS.

I'M GONNA GET
SOMETHING TO DRINK.

HEY.
WHAT IS IT?

DO ME A FAVOR--DON'T
CALL ME YUSSEL TONIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME
TO CALL YOU?

YATES.
YATES.

IT IS, IT IS. IT'S
SCANDINAVIAN, ACTUALLY.

MY MOM WAS BORN
IN NORWAY,

AND MY FATHER WAS
BORN IN DENMARK,

AND THEY MET
IN SWEDEN.

SO IT SORT OF COVERS
THE NORDIC SPECTRUM.

IT SURE DOES.

Trey: OH, THE SHIT
JUST HIT THE FAN.

THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING
TO PARIS TO SEE HER FATHER.

WELL, THAT'S
WHAT SHE TOLD ME.

* BLUE MOON *

WISH ME LUCK.

YOU'RE GONNA
NEED IT.

OF MY OWN *

SO THIS IS PARIS.

OUI, MONSIEUR.

BRING MYSELF TO GO.

YEAH, WELL,
PARIS IS TOUGH.

PLEASE DON'T BE SNIDE.

IT'S MY FATHER.

I JUST CAN'T DEAL

I SAW HIM WHEN
I CAME RIDING IN.

WELL,
THINK HALLOWEEN.

HE'S CRAZY FOR YOU.

OH, THE NIGHT
YOU STOOD ME UP

FOR MOST
OF THE EVENING.

I FLIRTED WITH HIM
FOR AMUSEMENT.

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU,
UH, DID QUITE A JOB.

HE'S SALIVATING
FOR YOU.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

WELL, I
BROUGHT HIM HERE.

DOES HE KNOW
THAT WE GO TOGETHER?

DIDN'T WANT
TO BREAK HIS HEART.

PLEASE, SPARE ME
YOUR SENSITIVE SIDE.

WELL, GO SAY HELLO.
I WON'T GET JEALOUS.

SCREW YOU.

* YOU SAW ME
STANDING ALONE *

* WITHOUT A DREAM
IN MY HEART *

* WITHOUT A LOVE
OF MY OWN *

I DON'T GET IT.
YOU LOVE HER

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HER?
NEVER WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN?

YEAH, WELL,
AIN'T IT ROMANTIC?

YOU'RE TOO MUCH.

SOME GUYS
WOULD DIE FOR HER.

BUT THAT'S TREY FOR YOU.

HE REALLY SHOULD'VE,
'CAUSE...

IT REALLY WOULD'VE
SAVED ME A LOT OF...

AGGRAVATION.

YOU KNOW, THAT NIGHT

WHEN I SAW YOU
IN THE BASEMENT,

I WAS...

SO...

BOY, I JUST...

HA HA!
UH-HUH, YEAH!

Little Melvin: TEACH HIM

Scribbles: DAMN SKIPPY.

A MAN WIN BIG, AND
HE CAN'T GET HIS, TOO.

AND IT AIN'T KIDNAPPING.

IT'S MORE TIT FOR TAT.

YOU DO NOTHING
ON YOUR OWN.

YEAH.

THAT'S IT?

Sheldon:
I'VE NEVER SEEN

ANYTHING LIKE THAT
IN MY LIFE! WHOO!

OH, WAIT. CAREFUL.

I'M REALLY GLAD
YOU LIKED IT.

IT WAS WORTH IT.
WASN'T IT?

* PLEASE, PLEASE *

* PLEASE, PLEASE *

SYLVIA, WHERE

JUST THROUGH THE ALLEY.
THERE'S A PARKING LOT.

WE'RE JUST UP HERE.

HOW ABOUT
WE GO, UH...

YOU KNOW, GET SOMEONE
TO BUY US A 6-PACK OF BEER

AND DRINK IT IN YOUR CAR
OR SOMETHING?

WHAT, DRINK IT
IN MY CAR?

YEAH. WE COULD JUST
SORTA SIT IN THE CAR.

I HAVE A CURFEW.
I CAN'T DO THAT.

JUST DRINK IT IN THE CAR.
WE DON'T HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE.

Gail: OH, PLEASE!

I DON'T THINK SO.

* PLEASE, PLEASE *

HOW Y'ALL DOING

AH. THAT SO?

Little Melvin:

OH, HE JUST LEFT.

UH, WELL, WHEN

2 BLACK, 2 WHITE.

Y'ALL DATING?

WE HAPPENED TO MEET.
BEN, SHELDON, AND I

CAB CALLOWAY

WELL, WHY NOT?

FOR WHITE...

AND I BEEN MESSED OVER
BY WHITE...

BUT WE AIN'T NEVER
BEEN FRIENDS.

AND I DON'T GET
A CHANCE TO BE

IN THE BUSINESS WORLD
LIKE YOU JEWS NEITHER.

JEWS ARE A MINORITY,
TOO, YOU KNOW.

OH, THAT SO?

YEAH.

DID YOU KNOW

THAT THERE ARE
LESS JEWS IN THE WORLD

THAN NEGROES?

YEAH?

BUT YOU AIN'T GOT
THE SKIN THING.

SLAVES,

SLAVES.

JEWS WERE SLAVES.

BULLSHIT!

WHO BUILT THE PYRAMIDS?

HOW IN THE HELL
SHOULD I KNOW?

THE JEWS.

THE JEWS.

THE JEWS BUILT
THE PYRAMIDS?

I--I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

PULLING THEM
BIG STONE, JEWS?

IT'S TRUE.

WHEN WAS THAT?

3,500 YEARS AGO.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

3,500 YEARS AGO?

DON'T YOU TELL ME
NO SLAVE THING

HAPPENED 3,500 YEARS AGO.

I'M TALKING ABOUT
MY GRANDDADDY WAS A SLAVE!

THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO,
DINOSAURS ROAMED THE EARTH

AND STUFF WAS STILL
COMING UP OUT OF THE DIRT!

WHAT?

NOW, DON'T--NO, NO,

DON'T YOU MAKE FUN
OF MY SUFFERING NOW.

OH, COME ON!

VAN.

I'M, UH...

I'M GOING WITH DUBBIE.
YOU KNOW YOUR WAY BACK?

YEAH. YEAH.
WHAT YOU GONNA DO,

RIDE OFF
ON THE HORSE?

NO. UH...

WE'RE GONNA STAY HERE
TONIGHT WITH SOME FRIENDS.

WELL, THAT'S DEPRESSING.

LOOK, VAN, I'M SORRY
ABOUT ALL THIS.

I--I DIDN'T KNOW
SHE'D BE HERE.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT SPARK
TO SOMEONE ELSE.

OH, THAT'S ALL
RIGHT. I DON'T--

MAYBE NEXT TIME,
YOU KNOW.

I'VE GOT YOUR NUMBER,

I'LL LET YOU KNOW
ABOUT THE NEXT TO-DO.

THANKS.
I'M SORRY.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, TREY.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL
SEE YOU LATER, PAL.

OH, HO HO!

LOOKS LIKE YUSSEL'S
DOING FINE.

MAYBE I OUGHT
TO DYE MY HAIR.

HA! MAYBE.

SEE YOU.

WELL, I'M GLAD YOU SEE IT
THAT WAY, MR. KURTZMAN.

YEAH, JUST A NEGOTIATION.

TIT FOR TAT.

[LOUIS ARMSTRONG
SINGS ON STEREO]

WELL, IT'S NICE DOING
BUSINESS WITH YOU, TOO.

NO, NO, NO.

I'LL CALL YOU BACK
ABOUT THE MEETING PLACE.

ALL RIGHT.

SCRIBBLES, GO ON OVER THERE,
UNTIE THAT ROPE,

LET THEM 3 KIDS OUT.

IT'S GONNA BE OVER
IN A MINUTE.

HELLO, CHILDREN.

ALL 3 OF YOU OUT.

KURTZMAN, YOU STAY.

COME ON NOW.
GET OUT, GIRL.

I'LL WAIT.

Scribbles: LET'S GO
TAKE A RIDE IN THE PONTIAC.

HOW OLD ARE YOU,
LITTLE GIRL?

Gail: HOW MUCH
DO YOU WEIGH?

OOH, THAT ONE'S
A SASSY ONE.

AIN'T YOU LOYAL?

I DON'T WANT ANYTHING
TO HAPPEN.

AIN'T NOTHING
GONNA HAPPEN,

HIS FATHER PAYS.

YOU SURE YOU'RE
NOT PLUGGING HER?

YEAH, I'M SURE.

YOU GOT TO FIND HER
GOOD-LOOKING.

I DO.

TOUCH HER TITTY.

WHAT?

NO.

GO ON NOW. TOUCH
HER TITTY, BOY.

NO.

THIS SAYS YES.

NO.

DON'T GIVE ME SHIT.

YOU TOUCH HER TITTY.

AIN'T LIKE
IT'S A NAKED TITTY.

NO.

THINK ABOUT IT.

THERE'S NOTHING
TO THINK ABOUT.

NO.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU
WANT YOUR MONEY,

I THINK YOU BETTER
CALL AGAIN.

I WAS GETTING
READY TO DO THAT.

I WAS JUST HAVING A MOMENT
OF ENTERTAINMENT.

THANK YOU.

BUT I'M NOT SURE

IT WOULD'VE BEEN
WORTH DYING FOR.

ANYTHING GOES WRONG,
I'LL NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF.

DAMN IT, NATE, COME ON.
HE'S NOT GONNA HURT HIM.

SH--I WAS STRAIGHT
WITH THIS GUY.

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

IT'S NOT THE WAY
THIS GUY OPERATES.

* YOU GOT TO KICK,
HOLLER, AND SHOUT *

* I'M GONNA TELL YOU
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT *

* YOU GOT TO JUMP
REAL HIGH *

* YOU GOT TO KEEP
THAT FEELING ALIVE *

* YOU GOT TO STOMP,
WHISTLE, AND SCREAM *

* YOU GOT TO THINK
ABOUT LOOKING REAL NEAT *

* TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME,
TELL ME THAT YOU'RE MINE *

* OH, PUTTING ON
THE DOG... *

IT'S YOURS.

CAN'T TAKE THIS.

YOUR CAR.

LITTLE KURTZMAN.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE
TO GIVE HIM

THE ENTIRE NUMBERS BUSINESS.

YOU COULD'VE GONE 50-50.
OR KILL HIM.

YOU GOT TO LOVE
THE GUINEAS.

COLORED GUY STEALS
SOMETHING FROM THEM,

YA-BING!
THEY FIND HIM DEAD

ON HIS OWN DOORSTEP
2 DAYS LATER.

A SUBTLE
WARNING.

HEY, HE DIDN'T STEAL.

HE HIT THE NUMBER.
HE WON IT FAIR AND SQUARE.

IT'S HIS MONEY.

AND YOU?

YOU, UH...

WANT TO EXPLAIN THIS?

SHE'S IN MY CLASS.

SHE WAS COMING OUT
OF THE ROYAL

WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED.

OH, YOU WENT
TO THE ROYAL.

YEAH.
WHY?

UH, JAMES BROWN.

HE'S--HE'S AMAZING.

IS THIS
THAT ROCK AND ROLL?

IT'S GREAT MUSIC.

WELL, MAYBE
YOU SHOULD

GET HER
IN THE CAR.

SYLVIA?

THIS IS MY DAD.

HELLO.

ALL RIGHT.

FRIGHTENING NIGHT,
HUH?

Sylvia: YEAH. SOMEWHAT.

NOW, DID YOU CALL
YOUR PARENTS?

NO. THEY THINK
I'M SLEEPING

UP AT GAIL'S HOUSE
TONIGHT.

OH. THAT SAVES
A COMPLICATED EXPLANATION.

I DON'T KNOW HOW
I'D TELL MY FATHER...

HELLO.

DUBBIE. HEY.

TREY?

WELL, HOW SERIOUS?

OH. WHEN DID HE
GO INTO SURGERY?

OK. YEAH. UH,
421 SPRINGDALE AVENUE.

IT'S RIGHT OFF
LIBERTY HEIGHTS.

YEAH. OK.

A FRIEND OF MINE

WAS JUST IN A REALLY BAD
CAR ACCIDENT.

HE'S IN VIRGINIA.

WHAT'S HE DOING THERE?

WELL, HE GOES TO
WASHINGTON AND LEE.

WEALTHY GOYIM?

HIS FATHER WORKS FOR
LAWRENCE AND WHEBBEE.

BIG LAW FIRM.
VERY CONNECTED.

IS HE GONNA BE
ALL RIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW.
UH...SHE SAID

THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT HIM
BEING PARALYZED.

EH! HOW TERRIBLE.

BY THE WAY, WHAT'S
THE NAME DUBBIE?

I NEVER HEARD
SUCH A NAME.

HEY.

HI.

THANK YOU
FOR COMING.

SURE.

I DIDN'T WANT TO
DO THIS ALONE.

YOU KNOW, WE CAN
TAKE TURNS DRIVING

IN CASE YOU GET TIRED.

Woman: PEOPLE, MAY I HAVE
YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE.

I NEED TO SEE
THE FOLLOWING STUDENTS:

ACKERMAN, BLUME,

D. COHEN, R. COHEN.

SO...WHERE YOU
GOING TO SCHOOL?

SPELMAN.

SPELMAN.

UH-HUH.

A NEGRO SCHOOL?

YUP.

WHY YOU GOING THERE?
I MEAN...

I MEAN YOU CAN GO
ANYWHERE NOW.

JUST BECAUSE WE CAN
DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO.

AND MY MOTHER
WENT THERE,

HER MOTHER WENT THERE--
IT'S TRADITION.

OH. WELL, THERE'S
NO SUCH THING

FOR SYLVAN AND I.

WE'RE THE FIRST ONES
TO GO TO COLLEGE.

WHY?

OH, MY FAMILY
COULDN'T AFFORD IT.

MY DAD WENT TO WORK
WHEN HE WAS 14.

WOW.

DAMN.

TAKE A MULLIGAN.

HEAVY RUMORS
ABOUT LITTLE MELVIN.

YEAH?

YEAH. SEEMS
HE'S HAVING TROUBLE

RUNNING THE NUMBERS.

HOW SO?

CAN'T GET ORGANIZED.

HE'S RUNNING IT
INTO THE GROUND.

SO GOLF'S
NOT YOUR GAME.

I RAN INTO HIM
OVER AT, UH...GLOBUS.

I WAS HAVING LUNCH.

COMES OVER TO MY TABLE.

I DON'T THINK
IT WAS A COINCIDENCE.

BETTER.

PROBLEM HE'S GOT,
HE CAN'T WORK

WITH THE WHITE
NUMBERS RUNNERS,

AND THE WHITE SHOP OWNERS

CAN'T WORK
WITH THE BLACK RUNNERS.

THINK WE CAN
CUT A DEAL?

NAH. I THINK
HE HAS NO CHOICE.

OH. THAT WAS MY PLAN
ALL ALONG.

Van: SO YOU AND TREY
FIGHT A LOT?

Dubbie: YUP.
ALL THE TIME.

ABOUT WHAT?
EVERYTHING.

SUCH AS?

WELL, HE THINKS
I'M TOO POSSESSIVE,

I THINK HE DRINKS
WAY TOO MUCH,

AND HE THINKS
I'M TOO DEMANDING

CONCERNING SEX.

REALLY?

YEAH, REALLY.

I MEAN, I LOVE SEX,

BUT TREY
SEEMS TO THINK

I GET A LITTLE OUT
OF CONTROL SOMETIMES.

OUT OF CONTROL...

HI. WE'D LIKE TO SEE
TREY TRAVELSTEAD.

WE CAME DOWN
FROM BALTIMORE.

TRAVELSTEAD IS ON
THE...SECOND FLOOR.

ONLY ONE VISITOR
AT A TIME.

THANKS.

I CAN GO UPSTAIRS,
THOUGH, RIGHT?

HE'D LIKE TO SEE YOU.

Trey: I'M GLAD DUBBIE WAS
ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF YOU.

HEY.

THANKS FOR COMING DOWN.

YEAH, SURE.

WHAT'S THE WORD?

UM...IT'S WORSE
THAN IT LOOKS.

WILL YOU BE ABLE
TO WALK?

OH, SURE.

MAYBE A LITTLE LIMP,
BUT THAT COULD BE ROMANTIC.

YOU KNOW, MYSTERIOUS.

NEED WHATEVER I CAN
TO ADD TO THE MYSTIQUE.

DUBBIE LOOKED
A LITTLE DISTURBED.

YEAH. WELL...

YOU KNOW, IF YOU STILL
GOT A THING FOR HER,

THIS COULD BE YOUR CHANCE.

IT ISN'T GONNA WORK OUT
WITH THE TWO OF US.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS
WHEN YOU GET BETTER.

IT'S OVER.

IT'S OVER,
IT'S OVER, IT'S OVER.

THIS COULD BE
YOUR CHANCE, VAN.

BUT SHE COMES
WITH A WARNING.

WHAT?

YOU GOT TO READ
THE FINE PRINT.

DANGEROUS.
HANDLE WITH CARE.

Singer: * I'M DRIVING *

* SO CLOSE TO YOU *

* WITH LOVE *

* OH... *

Little Melvin:
SO, GENTLEMEN...

WHERE DO WE BEGIN?

Nate: OK, HERE'S
THE SHORTHAND:

YOU SCREWED UP
THE BUSINESS,

IT'S FAILING,
YOU NEED HELP. SPEAK.

I'M THINKING.

THINKING, MIND YOU.

I'M BRINGING YOU BACK
INTO THE BUSINESS.

30% OF THE TAKE.

PASS.

30% IS BETTER
THAN NOTHING.

IN A SHORT TIME,

YOUR 100%
WON'T BE WORTH SHIT.

HOW'S THAT
FOR ARITHMETIC?

40%.

I'M INSULTED.

50.

80.

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.

DONE.

COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS.

I DON'T WANT YOU
COMING TO MY OFFICE.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU,

I WANT NOTHING
TO DO WITH YOU.

I CAN LIVE WITH THAT.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA WAIT
FOR YOUR DRINKS?

TOO MUCH WORK
TO GET DONE.

Nate: LET'S GO, BOYS.

WE'RE BACK.

Louie:
MUSIC TO MY EARS!

YES, SIREE!

* WITH LOVE *

* OH... *

SCRIBBLES,

WHAT I PAY YOU
FOR, HUH?

I'M OVER HERE
NEGOTIATING.

NEGOTIATING BUSINESS
FOR YOU AND ME,

AND YOU SIT OVER
THERE EATING PIE.

YOU SIT OVER THERE
AND NEGOTIATE,

AND I SIT OVER HERE
OUT YOUR WAY.

I MEAN, I'M SITTING--

YOU'RE SITTING
OVER THERE ORDERING PIE

WHILE I'M LOSING
THE BUSINESS!

AND I DON'T SEE
AN OUNCE OF REMORSE.

DON'T MAKE ME MOODY,
YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

NOW GO AND SIT OUTSIDE.

Nat King Cole:
* AH, CHERIE *

* MY LOVE FOR YOU
IS TRES *

* TRES FORT *

* WISH MY FRENCH
WERE GOOD ENOUGH *

YOU SPEAK FRENCH?

UM. NO.

DO YOU?

YES. NOT AS WELL

AS MY FATHER'S
BOYFRIEND DOES,

BUT...THEN AGAIN,
HE IS FRENCH.

THAT'S A SECRET.

WHAT, ARE
YOUR PARENTS DIVORCED?

MM. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

THEY HAVE...
AN UNDERSTANDING.

AH. BECAUSE
OF RELIGION?

RELIGION?

NO, NO.
NOTHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S JUST...MORE LIKE
A CONVENIENT ARRANGEMENT.

WELL, YOUR MOM
LIVES IN BALTIMORE.

LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING
MORE PLEASANT.

YEAH. AHEM!

WHAT ABOUT TREY?

THAT WAS PLEASANT.

BUT ALL GOOD THINGS
MUST COME TO AN END,

FORTUNATELY OR
UNFORTUNATELY.

SEEMS LIKE A NICE GUY,
THOUGH, RIGHT?

THAT'S ONLY HALF OF IT.

ARE YOU TIRED?

OH, NO. I CAN DRIVE.

WE COULD STOP
AT A MOTEL.

SURE.

YEAH, WE--WE
COULD DO THAT.

AHEM! SURE.

Elvis Presley:
* BLUE MOON *

* YOU SAW ME
STANDING ALONE *

OH, JESUS.

SORRY.

YOU'RE SURE ABOUT THIS?

I WAS THERE FOR *

GOOD.

* YOU HEARD ME SAYING
A PRAYER FOR *

COULD... *

HOW MUCH
DO YOU WANT ME?

OH. UH...

I, UH...

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE
TO GET YOU OFF MY MIND

SINCE THE MOMENT
I MET YOU.

HOW EXCITING.

UH-HUH.

FEEL LIKE I'VE, UH...

DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN.

* WITHOUT A LOVE
OF MY OWN *

* BLUE MOON *

A TOAST.

* YOU SAW ME
STANDING ALONE *

OK.

* WITHOUT A DREAM
IN MY HEART *

OH.

* WITHOUT A LOVE OF... *

IT SEEMS TO BE
ALL GONE.

FEAR NOT.

I HAVE BACKUP.

I HAVE IT AROUND
HERE SOMEWHERE.

OH, WE CAN DO
WITHOUT THAT RIGHT NOW,

DON'T YOU THINK?

WELL, I'M JUST
SO DAMN HAPPY,

WE'VE GOT
TO HAVE A DRINK.

WHOA. YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

OH, SH--HA HA!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH?

IT REALLY WASN'T
THAT FUNNY.

OH, GOD, HA HA!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M FINE.

OK. GEE.

ALL RIGHT,
WAIT A MINUTE.

HEY, REMOVE
YOUR HAND.

HEY, WHAT'S
THE MATTER? HEY.

WHAT'S WRONG?

I'M FINE.

NO, NO, NO.
WHAT'S WRONG?

MAKE LOVE TO ME.

WHAT? NO.

MAKE LOVE TO ME.

LISTEN, CALM DOWN, OK?

MAKE LOVE TO ME.

WHAT'S WRONG, DUBBIE?

I DON'T NEED
THIS CRAP.

SCREW YOU!

WHAT--WHAT ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?

COME HERE.

I'M FINE.

EVERYTHING
IS FINE.

DUBBIE, WHAT'S
GOING ON HERE?

I DON'T NEED
THIS CRAP.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND?

I REALLY
DON'T UNDERSTAND

WHAT JUST HAPPENED.

I HAVE EVERYTHING!

EVERYTHING!

AND IT'S
JUST WONDERFUL!

I'M HAPPY.
I HAVE EVERYTHING.

HOW CAN YOU
NOT UNDERSTAND?

OH, JESUS.

OH, JESUS.

HOW DO YOU LIKE ME
SO FAR?

[TOM WAITS'
IT'S OVER PLAYING]

THE BAD WEATHER WITH YOU *

Nate: LEWD AND
LASCIVIOUS BEHAVIOR?

WHAT PART OF
ANNIE'S ACT WAS LEWD?

WHICH PART
WAS LASCIVIOUS?

NO BARE TIT, NO BUSH.
DON'T GET IT.

THIS ISN'T
ABOUT ANNIE'S ACT.

THIS IS
ABOUT LITTLE MELVIN.

WHAT?

YOU RUN NUMBERS OK,
THEY TURN THEIR BACKS.

BURLESQUE? IT'S
AN INSTITUTION ON THE BLOCK.

FINE, BUT NOT SO FINE
YOUR PARTNERSHIP

WITH A DRUG-DEALING
SCHVARTZER.

HEY, I'VE GOT NOTHING TO
DO WITH DRUGS, GODDAMN IT!

YOU'VE GOT
A PARTNER THAT DEALS,

A DRUG-DEALING SPADE.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?

HOW AM I SUPPOSED
TO GET RID OF HIM, KILL HIM?

NO, IT'S
TOO LATE FOR THAT.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

I CAN GET YOU
OFF THIS CHARGE.

NOTHIN' TO IT.

BUT NOT THE FBI.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

I GOT IT
FROM A GOOD SOURCE.

THEY'RE GONNA CHARGE YOU WITH
A VIOLATION OF THE MANN ACT.

WHAT? WHA--WHAT KIND OF
A CRAZY CHARGE IS THAT?

WHAT IS THE MANN ACT?

TRANSPORTATION
ACROSS STATE LINES

FOR THE PURPOSE TO COMMIT
ILLEGAL SEXUAL ACTIVITY.

PROSTITUTION.

WHERE IN THE HELL DID THEY
COME UP WITH THAT KIND OF SHIT?

HOW MANY GIRLS DO YOU BRING
INTO THIS STATE FOR YOUR SHOWS?

WELL, WHO CAN COUNT?

ANY ONE OF THOSE GIRLS
INVOLVED IN PROSTITUTION?

WELL, WHO IN THE HELL KNOWS?

COULD BE...GOD ONLY KNOWS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DO.

THEY GET ONE OF THEM
TO TESTIFY--ONE--

AND IT'S GOOD-BYE.

DO THEY?

THEY'VE OBVIOUSLY
GOT SOMEONE.

OVER THE YEARS,
IN MY BUSINESS,

YOU WATCH
ENOUGH SHOWS, YOU LEARN.

A GOOD PERFORMER KNOWS
WHEN TO GET OFF THE STAGE.

WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING ABOUT, NATE?

I DON'T KNOW.
I...I...

I DON'T KNOW YET.

Announcer:
SYLVIA MARKS.

MIRIAM GOLDSTEIN.

BEN KURTZMAN.

Ada: ALL RIGHT,
BOYS, STAND TOGETHER.

YOU LOOK LIKE A HOOD.

STAND UP,
STAND TOGETHER.

COME ON, PULL
YOURSELVES TOGETHER.

LIKE YOU
KNOW EACH OTHER.

WE ARE SO PROUD
OF YOU, SWEETHEART.

THANK YOU, DAD.

WHAT DO YOU SAY WE
GET SOMETHING TO EAT?

HUH, WANNA
GO OUT TO EAT?

SURE.

IT'S YOUR DAY.
YOU PICK IT.

OH, DON'T MAKE ME
DO THAT. HELP ME.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,

WHY DON'T WE TAKE A
DRIVE IN THE COUNTRY?

FIRST PLACE
WE GET TO, WE'LL STOP.

THAT'S WHERE WE'LL EAT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, HONEY?

OK, SURE. WHATEVER.
YOU GUYS WORK IT OUT.

I'LL--I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

SYLVIA, WHAT ARE YOU--

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

SYLVIA...

WAIT, WAIT,
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

NO, I'M GONNA TAKE
ANOTHER PICTURE.

NO, IT'S OK.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

SPELMAN.

UNIVERSITY
OF MARYLAND.

WE'LL KEEP IN TOUCH.

YEAH.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN
IF I GAVE YOU A KISS RIGHT NOW?

I THINK
OUR PARENTS WOULD DIE.

YEAH...PROBABLY.

DEFINITELY.

TAKE CARE
OF YOURSELF, SYLVIA.

YOU, TOO, BEN.

OH, MY GOD.

SYLVIA.

NATE, TALK TO HIM.

WHAT WAS THAT?

I WAS SAYING
GOOD-BYE TO MY FRIEND.

YOU SAY GOOD-BYE
WITH A KISS?

YOU TALK
TO HIM NOW!

I'LL TALK
TO HIM.

DID YOU SEE
WHAT HE JUST DID?

WE DON'T WANT TO
CAUSE A SCENE.

I'M NOT CAUSING
A SCENE!

YOUR SON JUST
CAUSED A SCENE!

I'M NOT TAKING
ANY MORE PICTURES.

LET'S GO. LET'S GO!

I'M IN TROUBLE NOW?

NO, I'M NOT GOING TO
TAKE ANOTHER PICTURE!

Both: AAH!

Radio: IT'S 78 DEGREES
IN DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE.

YOU'RE LISTENING TO WCBM,
680 ON YOUR RADIO DIAL.

THIS IS THE JEWISH HOUR.

IT'S GOOD
TO GET A LITTLE SUN

ON THE LAST DAY
BEFORE COLLEGE STARTS.

[CARL PERKINS SINGING
HONEY, DON'T]

NOT BAD.

I HATE TO
GIVE UP MY CANE.

THE SYMPATHY WORKS
WONDERS WITH THE GIRLS.

YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?

YEAH.

COFFEE.

TALKED TO DUBBIE.

SHE'S TRANSFERRED
TO BENNINGTON.

YEAH. SHE'S
DOING ALL RIGHT?

SURE. YOU KNOW, SHE
TOLD ME ABOUT THE MOTEL.

SHE DID?

OH, COME ON,
SHE LOVES DRAMA.

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
WITH THE THOROUGHBREDS.

A LITTLE
TOO HIGH-STRUNG.

TEND TO GET
SPOOKED EASILY.

HOPE IT DOESN'T TURN YOU
OFF TO THE BREED, BUDDY.

THAT WAS A CRAZY NIGHT,
I'LL TELL YOU.

I BET.

DID YOU FIND ANYTHING OUT
FROM YOUR FATHER?

YEAH, WELL, HERE'S
THE STORY ON THAT.

I GOT AN UNCLE. HE
WORKS UP AT JUSTICE,

AND...THEY'RE GONNA
PROSECUTE YOUR FATHER

ON THE MANN ACT AND
INCOME TAX EVASION.

THAT'S WHAT
HE EXPECTED.

IT'S A HELL
OF A THING. SORRY.

SORRY, SORRY, SORRY.

HE WASN'T PARTNERS
WITH THIS COLORED GUY.

HE WOULDN'T
BE INVOLVED WITH DRUGS.

THEY KNOW THAT.

THEY JUST LOVE
TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE.

LOVE TO GO AFTER THE
JEWS AND THE COLOREDS.

I'M SURE THEY STILL
HAVE AN ADRENALINE RUSH

FROM THE ROSENBERG
EXECUTIONS.

SO MY FATHER ASKED IF MAYBE
YOUR FATHER COULD HELP OUT.

YEAH, YEAH...WHAT?

JUST TO SEE IF THERE'S A WAY

THAT THEY CAN NOT
HAVE MY FATHER ARRESTED

UNTIL AFTER
THE ROSH HASHANAH SERVICES.

AND AFTER
HE SEES THE NEW CADILLAC.

WHAT, IS THAT PART OF
THE RELIGIOUS SERVICE?

IT IS WITH HIM.

I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

Scribbles:
THEM NEW SHOES?

Little Melvin: YEAH,
THREW MY OLD ONES AWAY.

WHY?

THEY'S BAD LUCK.
THAT'S WHY I GOT ARRESTED.

SO MY LAWYER'S SAYING
I'LL GET ABOUT 6 TO 8 MONTHS

ON THIS DEAL HERE.

THAT'S IT?

YEAH.
WHAT ABOUT KURTZMAN?

8 TO 10 YEARS...FEDERAL.

FED TIME?

MM-HMM.

MAN.

SINCE I'M GONNA BE
GONE, SCRIBBLES,

YOU NEED TO LOOK FOR
ANOTHER LINE OF WORK.

I'VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT THAT.

I WANT TO
BECOME AN ANNOUNCER

FOR
THE BALTIMORE COLTS.

A COLORED ANNOUNCER?

MM-HMM! FIRST
ONE OF HIS KIND.

I SIT AT HOME AND I
PRACTICE IN THE MIRROR.

I GOT A COUPLE OF PLAYS.
YOU WANT TO HEAR?

SURE.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY HERE AT
BALTIMORE'S MEMORIAL STADIUM.

IT'S 76 DEGREES,
BIRDS CHIRPING AND SUCH...

IT'S HOT.

WE'RE GONNA SIT
AND WE'RE GONNA SWEAT.

INDIAN SUMMER.

WHERE'S DAD?

IN A MINUTE.

THEN HE WANTS
TO TALK TO YOU BOYS.

WHAT'S WRONG?

HE'LL TELL YOU.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
WHAT'S WRONG?

HE'S ABOUT
TO BE ARRESTED,

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.

I KNOW THAT. I THOUGHT
MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE.

WHAT ELSE
COULD IT BE?

Nate: I DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH TO TELL YOU.

YOU WON'T SEE ME
FOR A WHILE,

BUT EVERYTHING
HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.

THERE'S MONEY FOR
YOUR COLLEGE EDUCATIONS.

EVERYTHING IS PROVIDED.

Nate: I EXPECT YOU BOTH
TO GET YOUR DIPLOMAS,

TO BE RESPONSIBLE,

TO GIVE BACK
TO THE COMMUNITY.

I'LL MISS YOU.

IT WON'T BE TOO LONG.

WE'RE A FAMILY, AND NOTHING
CAN INTERFERE WITH THAT.

I'M PROUD OF YOU BOYS.

MY BOYS.

Rose:
IT'S TIME, NATE.

IT'S TIME

Ben: LIFE IS
MADE UP OF A FEW BIG MOMENTS

AND A LOT OF LITTLE ONES.

I STILL REMEMBER
THE FIRST TIME I KISSED SYLVIA

OR THE LAST TIME I HUGGED
MY FATHER BEFORE HE DIED.

AND I STILL REMEMBER
THAT WHITE BREAD SANDWICH

AND THAT BLONDE DANCING GIRL

WITH THE CIGARETTE PACK
ON HER THIGH.

BUT A LOT OF IMAGES FADE.

AND NO MATTER
HOW HARD I TRY,

I CAN'T GET THEM BACK.

I HAD A RELATIVE
WHO ONCE SAID

THAT "IF I KNEW THINGS
WOULD NO LONGER BE,

I WOULD HAVE TRIED
TO REMEMBER BETTER."

* HAD I BEEN
THE TOAST OF PARIS *

* HAD I SAILED
DOWN THE NILE *

* ALL THE WONDERS
I COULD SEE *

* COULD FULFILL
MOST ANY DREAM *

* AND HOLD YOU
FOR A WHILE *

* BUT WHEN
LOVE WALKED IN *

* YOU COULD
PICK IT UP A LITTLE *

* THERE WAS NOTHING
I COULD DO *

* ONLY TO TRY
AND KEEP MY HEAD *

* THERE BECAUSE
AND LET YOU KNOW *

* I KNEW THE MOMENT
THAT YOUR LOVE WALKED IN *

Bill Haley:
* WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN *

* I WANNA GET A TASTE
OF YOUR SWEET LIPS *

* SO DIM DIM THE LIGHTS *

* DIM DIM THE LIGHTS *

* DIM DIM THE LIGHTS *

Brenda Russell:
* YOUR MIND *

* I'D HAVE TO SAY
IT'S KIND OF WONDERFUL *

* AND YOU'VE GOT
THOSE BABY EYES *

* WHAT A DREAM,
YOU AND YOUR PALE BLUE EYES *

* I'M FALLING LOWER
AND LOWER AND LOWER *

* INTO THIS DESTINY OF LOVE *
