HOW TIME FLIES.

25 YEARS WORKING WITH A MAN,

DEPENDING ON HIM, BUMMING HIS CIGARETTES,

BORROWING HIS MONEY.

YOU THINK YOU KNOW A GUY,

TURNS OUT HE HAD ME LISTED AS A DEPENDENT.

SMART GUY!

ALL RIGHT. HERE'S TO JOSH BURKE.

HEY! HEY!

OH, A GENTLEMAN. HE'S AT THE BAR.

WELL, WHO? WHO? WHAT? WHERE?

HE MUST HAVE GONE. HE'S NOT HERE NOW.

WHY, WHAT'S WRONG?

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT A 12-STORY LEAP

WITH $90,000 FROM A CONSUMER CREDIT COMPANY

AND ALSO THAT NIGHT MESSENGER WHO LOST $205,000.

I EXPECT YOU TOMORROW, 6 P.M., AT THE DRAKE HOTEL,

SUITE 11-300.

BE THERE. IT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU.

(CLINK)

OH HA HA.

OH, HONEY, PLEASE!

WHAT'S IN IT?

YOU'LL FIND OUT.

I CAN'T WAIT! IT'S KILLING ME!

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR GOING THROUGH MY POCKETS.

I WAS HANGING UP YOUR JACKET.

I COULDN'T MISS IT.

THIS BELONGS TO A 29-YEAR-OLD WOMAN,

AND YOU WON'T BE THAT FOR ANOTHER 72 HOURS,

SO THERE.

GIVE ME A HINT.

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

I GOT ALL I NEED,

AND I'M LOOKING AT HIM.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL WAIT.

IF YOU INSIST.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I DON'T WANT, THOUGH,

AND THAT'S ANOTHER PARTY.

DON'T PLAN NO SURPRISES.

I DON'T LIKE SURPRISES.

(BUZZ)

MESSENGER JUST DELIVERED IT.

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

(RING)

(RING)

HELLO.

ANDERSON.

WHO IS THIS?

I SEE YOU GOT MY NOTE.

I GOT IT. WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WANT YOU TO COME TO LUNCH TOMORROW

AT 1:30 AT THE VOISIN.

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS CRAP.

YOU DON'T COME, YOU GOT NOTHING BUT TIME.

I'LL THINK IT OVER.

WHILE YOU THINK ABOUT IT,

LET ME TALK TO YOUR FRIEND THERE.

YEAH.

MANNY.

BE AT LUNCH TOMORROW, 1:30, THE VOISIN.

WHO'S THIS?

NEVER MIND.

WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?

I GOT YOUR BUTT NAILED.

I KNOW PEOPLE WHO WOULD PAY MONEY

FOR THE GUY CRAZY ENOUGH TO CON VIC BRUNO.

THEY'D LIKE TO RUN A DUMDUM BULLET UP HIS NOSE.

I'D RATHER NOT PUT HIM IN TOUCH WITH YOU

OR THE OLD LADY OR THE PUERTO RICANS,

BUT I COULD,

SO THAT'S WHY YOU'LL BE AT LUNCH TOMORROW AT 1:30

WHERE YOU'LL FIND OUT WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

NOW PUT DAVID ON THE EXTENSION.

I WANT TO TALK TO BOTH OF YOU.

WHAT?

MM-HMM.

GENTLEMEN, I WANT TO BE FAIR

AND RELIEVE YOUR MINDS.

NEITHER OF YOU KNOWS WHAT MY BUSINESS

WITH THE OTHER ONE IS.

THEREFORE, YOU ARE SAFE FROM EACH OTHER.

THIS IS CONFIDENTIAL.

I WILL KEEP IT THAT WAY. TRUST ME.

OH, YEAH. ANDERSON,

I RESERVED THE SUITE IN YOUR NAME,

SO YOU'D BETTER PAY ON YOUR WAY OUT.

AND, DURRELL, LUNCH TOMORROW IS ON YOU.

BE ON TIME, FELLAS.

DO YOU KNOW HER?

NO. I THOUGHT YOU DID.

SHE'D BETTER HAVE ONE HELL OF A DEEP VOICE.

GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M LILA FRENCH.

WHICH ONE OF YOU GENTLEMEN IS DAVID ANDERSON?

I AM.

VERY PLEASED TO MEET YOU. LILA FRENCH.

YOU MUST BE MR. DURRELL.

MANUEL DURRELL.

THIS IS OUR MOST INTERESTING OFFER IN A LONG TIME.

I'M DYING TO DISCUSS IT.

OH, YES. WE MUST DISCUSS IT.

WE HAVE TO.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, YOUR NOTE REALLY MADE MY DAY.

OH.

WHAT WAS IN IT?

IN YOUR NOTE?

OH, WE AGREED IN PRINCIPLE.

BUT HIS SECRETARY--

MANNY HAS NEVER READ IT,

AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU'D LET US--

LET HIM READ IT.

OH, BY ALL MEANS!

OH, LET ME READ IT.

MAY I? I LOVE IT.

IT'S INSPIRING. IT'S MORE LIKE A POEM.

WELL, OLD DAVE ALWAYS WAS BETTER WITH WORDS.

HOW DID HE PUT IT TO US?

HE PUT IT BEAUTIFULLY.

I'M SURE HE DID.

HERE'S THE BEAUTIFUL PART.

"WE WILL DEDICATE EIGHT HOURS A DAY,

"FIVE DAYS A WEEK, FOR SIX WEEKS,

"TO YOUR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT CENTER

"FREE OF CHARGE.

"IF AT THE END OF SIX WEEKS

"OUR WORK HAS BEEN HELPFUL

"AND THE CENTER FINDS

"WE HAVE INDEED BEEN HELPFUL

IN REALIZING THE CENTER'S AIMS--"

HOW MODEST.

OH, WELL--

GO ON.

"THEN WE PLEDGE TO CONTINUE THAT CONTRIBUTION

FREE OF CHARGE FOR AN ADDITIONAL PERIOD OF TIME..."

FIVE YEARS IN THE CASE OF MR. ANDERSON,

AND FOUR YEARS, SIX MONTHS IN THE CASE OF MR. DURRELL.

OH, YEAH. HE PUT IT BEAUTIFULLY.

HOW'D HE COME UP ON THOSE FIGURES?

STATUTE OF LIMITATION.

I BEG YOUR PARDON, GENTLEMEN?

HE SAID THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME LIMITATIONS.

OH, YOU'RE SO MODEST, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

YES, IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.

THIS PART IS SO TOUCHING.

"IF AT THE END OF SIX WEEKS

"WE HAVE NOT MADE A REAL CONTRIBUTION,

"WE SHALL HAVE TO WITHDRAW

"AND OFFER OUR SERVICES

TO A STATE OR FEDERAL INSTITUTION."

(CLEARS THROAT)

YOU WRITE A HELL OF A LETTER.

ISN'T IT THRILLING?

WE TRY SO HARD

TO GET PEOPLE TO DONATE TWO HOURS A DAY,

A WEEK, A WEEKEND, ANYTHING,

AND THEN TWO SUCCESSFUL MEN OF YOUR MONEY AND STATURE

COME ALONG AND DECIDE TO DEVOTE EIGHT HOURS A DAY,

FIVE DAYS A WEEK?

I'M DYING TO SHOW YOU THE CENTER!

I'M DYING, TOO.

HE MEANS HE CAN'T WAIT.

DON'T WORRY. IT'S GOING TO WORK.

IF YOU'RE THAT INTERESTED, WE WILL MAKE IT WORK.

WE WON'T LET YOU GO OFF

AND GIVE YOUR SERVICES

TO SOME STATE OR FEDERAL INSTITUTION.

THE STATE'S LOSS IS OUR GAIN.

THAT'S THE WAY WE FEEL ABOUT IT, TOO.

STATE'S LOSS.

THAT'S SWEET.

MR. ANDERSON?

YES, SIR.

TELEPHONE CALL FOR YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU.

MADAME, WOULD YOU LIKE A COCKTAIL?

UH, A DRY SHERRY, PLEASE.

HELLO.

NOW YOU UNDERSTAND.

HA HA.

I JUST HEARD YOUR PROPOSAL.

YOU WANT TO WORK

FOR THE COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT CENTER

OR THE STATE PENITENTIARY?

YOU'RE CRAZY. YOU'RE NUTS.

YOU'RE NUTS IF YOU THINK I'M KIDDING.

IT'S THE BEST DEAL YOU EVER HAD--

5 YEARS THERE OR 15 IN JOLIET.

THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU GOT 5 SECONDS. 4...3...2...1.

DEAL?

HA HA HA.

DEAL.

GIVE ME DURRELL.

YOUR PARTNER.

HA HA.

HELLO.

I WANT TO KNOW YOUR DECISION.

I CAN'T GIVE IT TO YOU RIGHT NOW.

NOW!

I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS IT.

WITH WHO, BRUNO?

DEAL?

DEAL.

YOU WILL WORK HARD.

YOU WILL BE WATCHED AND GRADED.

YOU WILL BE A SUCCESS.

IT'LL TAKE HARD WORK AND MONEY.

WE GOT TO FINANCE THIS, TOO?

USE YOUR HEAD. YOU'RE SMART.

I KNOW YOU'RE TOO SMART TO SKIP.

HAPPY DAYS.

AH.

JUST TRYING TO CLEAR THE DECKS.

YOU'LL BE READY TO START TOMORROW?

OH, YES. I THINK-- I THINK WE HAVE TO.

WILL 9:00 BE ALL RIGHT?

9:00?

IN THE MORNING?

WE DO OPEN AT 7:30 FOR DAYCARE.

7:30? NO, 9:00 WILL BE FINE.

FINE.

GOOD. THEN I'LL SHOW YOU EVERYTHING TOMORROW MORNING.

OUR JOB PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM

IS WHERE WE NEED IMMEDIATE HELP.

WE'VE BEEN ASSIGNED 30 YOUTHS BY THE JUVENILE COURT--

NOT VOLUNTEERS, MIND YOU. THEY ARE ASSIGNED.

IT'S IRONIC, ISN'T IT?

IRONIC.

ANYWAY, THAT PROGRAM ENDS IN THREE WEEKS,

AND WE HAVE NOT FOUND ONE JOB

OR PREPARED ONE KID FOR TAKING AND HOLDING A JOB--

OH, THANK YOU.

HOW DO YOU PREPARE YOUR POISSON MOUSSE?

WE GOT TO FIND HIM.

AND QUICK.

BECAUSE I CANNOT GET UP AT 9:00

FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

IT WILL KILL ME.

THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME CONNECTION

BETWEEN HIM AND THAT SENATOR.

THAT'S WHERE WE START.

IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE, DOCTOR.

THE MOUSSE IS THEN PLACED INTO A MOLD.

I'LL TAKE IT.

WHAT--WHAT ARE YOU HAVING?

POISSON MOUSSE.

POISON MOUSSE.

CHEERS.

CHEERS.

UH...

I THINK I'LL HAVE THE CHITLINGS.

FRIED?

HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO GET A JOB?

I DON'T WANT NO DAMN JOB.

OOH, MISS THOMAS, DON'T PLAY THAT.

YOU AIN'T SUPPOSED TO SAY DAMN.

SOUNDS TOO MUCH LIKE S-H-I--

ROSCOE.

OK. I DON'T WANT NO RAGGEDY-ASS JOB.

WHOO! QUIET!

I'M GOIN' TO GET YOU, DOO-DOO FACE!

DENISE, THAT LANGUAGE ISN'T NECESSARY.

YEAH, DENISE, YOU'RE TRASHY.

MISS GARBAGE-MOUTH.

I GOT YOUR GARBAGE-MOUTH

AND YOUR MAMA, TOO.

I KNOW YOU'RE GOIN' TO FIGHT BEHIND THAT!

SIT DOWN!

NOW, DENISE, GO ON BACK TO YOUR PLACE.

GO ON!

SHEILA...

YOU BE THE APPLICANT.

HEY, TITTY-SUCKER...

(LAUGHTER)

SHEILA!

I'M SORRY. I WAS JUST FOOLIN'.

I'LL DO IT.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

I CAME TO SEE ABOUT A JOB FOR SHEILA...

FOR SHEILA TRACY MORAN.

WHAT DO YOU DO, SHEILA?

I DO EVERYTHING.

OH, I SEE. WELL, DO YOU...

YES, I DO.

CAN YOU...

MM-HMM. I SURE CAN.

HOW ABOUT NIGHT WORK?

THINK YOU CAN HANDLE THAT?

THAT'S WHEN I DO MY BEST WORK.

WHOO!

LET ME TURN OFF THESE LIGHTS

SO I CAN CHECK OUT YOUR REFERENCES.

STOP IT!

STOP IT!

THAT'S DISGRACEFUL!

WHY CAN'T YOU TRY TO HELP YOURSELVES?

GO ON BACK TO YOUR SEAT.

(LAUGHTER)

MISS THOMAS! MISS THOMAS!

MISS THOMAS!

HARRY?

HARRY!

YOU BE THE APPLICANT.

(LAUGHTER)

STILL STAYING?

30 JOBS?

FOR THEM?

MM-HMM.

WELL, I GUESS ONE OF US WILL HAVE TO GET THE JOBS,

AND ONE OF US WILL HAVE TO TRAIN THE KIDS.

HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE?

THIS PROGRAM'S OVER IN THREE WEEKS.

THREE WEEKS.

THREE WEEKS.

OK, CHAMP...

CALL IT.

HEADS.

TAILS.

HA HA.

I GET THE KIDS.

YOU GET THE KIDS.

THANK YOU.

HI, MISS FRENCH.

MISS FRENCH SCORED TWICE!

GO ON, MISS FRENCH, WITH YOUR STATEMENT.

I KNOW MISS FRENCH GOIN' TO PLAY THAT STUFF.

PEOPLE, PLEASE.

MISS FRENCH HAS BROUGHT SOME VISITORS.

THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS BE POLITE.

THIS IS MISS SARAH THOMAS-- OUR YOUTH COUNSELOR.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET MR. ANDERSON

AND MR. DURRELL.

THESE TWO FINE GENTLEMEN

HAVE GRACIOUSLY VOLUNTEERED THEIR TIME

TO WORK AT THE CENTER,

AND THEY WILL BE WORKING WITH YOU.

NO STUFF?

THAT'S NICE.

(LAUGHTER)

YOU'RE A MALE ROLE MODEL.

THEY'RE CIA, I BET YOU.

NICE THREADS, BABY.

WHERE'D YOU COP YOUR GOODS?

YOU MEAN WHO HIS BOOSTER IS?

THESE ARE MY THREADS AND MY BOOSTER.

OK, BIG TIME, DON'T CALL THE LOAN.

I WAS JUST ADMIRING YOUR BAD BUTTS.

GET BACK TO YOUR SEATS.

MR. DURRELL WILL BE WORKING

DIRECTLY WITH YOU.

THAT'S GOOD. HE'S OURS,

AND HE'S FINE, TOO.

MR. ANDERSON WILL BE WORKING WITH THE COMPANIES

WE HOPE WILL EMPLOY YOU

WHEN THIS PROGRAM'S OVER IN THREE WEEKS.

LET'S ALL GET ACQUAINTED.

MISS FRENCH, IF THEY GOING TO TORTURE US, I'M LEAVING.

DOES THE THOUGHT OF BEING A SUCCESS

REALLY FRIGHTEN YOU SO MUCH?

I'M GOING BACK TO MY OFFICE WITH MR. ANDERSON.

MISS THOMAS, WOULD YOU GIVE MR. DURRELL

SOME ORIENTATION?

* ORIENTATION *

* ORIENTATION *

* O-- **

WE'VE BEEN AT IT FOR SIX HOURS,

THURSDAYS AND FRIDAYS,

FOR TWO MONTHS, AND IT'S NOT WORKING.

WELL...

ARE THERE ANY RULES AND REGULATIONS

WE HAVE TO FOLLOW?

NO. ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO MAKE THEM TRY.

THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO ASK FOR JOBS.

AND THEY FEEL THEY'RE GOING TO BE REJECTED,

SO THEY PROTECT THEMSELVES

WITH FLIPPANCY AND HOSTILITY.

I DON'T KNOW.

SOMETIMES IT'S SO DIFFICULT.

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A BREAK?

I COULD USE SOME COFFEE,

BUT I'D BETTER WAIT UNTIL LUNCH.

YOU TAKE YOUR COFFEE. I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

OK.

WHO WANTS TO TELL ME ABOUT THE PROGRAM?

WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON?

HOW'S IT BEEN GOING?

ISN'T THERE ANYBODY

WHO WANTS TO TELL ME ABOUT THE PROGRAM?

WHO WANTS TO TELL ME ABOUT THE PROGRAM?

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?

TELL ME ABOUT THE PROGRAM.

THE PROGRAM AIN'T SHIT.

WHO'S GOING TO TELL ME ABOUT THE PROGRAM?

MAN, IS YOU CRAZY?

LESSON NUMBER ONE--

YOU DON'T GET SOMETHIN' FOR NOTHIN'.

YOU PAY DUES. YOU GOT MY 20.

ANTHONY GOT A 20.

ANTHONY'S GOING TO PAY DUES.

HEY, ROSCOE, YOU OUGHT TO CHARGE HIM

FOR A SHOESHINE ON HIS RIGHT FOOT.

ALL GIBSON DONATIONS ARE FUNDS WE RAISE

OUTSIDE THE CITY BUDGET.

THEY FUND THE CHILD-CARE CENTER,

THE CHILDREN'S THEATER,

WHICH INTRODUCES CHILDREN

TO THEIR AFRO-AMERICAN CULTURAL HERITAGE,

THE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM,

WHICH HAS ADULT CLASSES IN READING,

FAMILY HYGIENE, AND FAMILY BUDGETING,

AND THE GOLDEN AGE CLUB,

WHICH IS FOR OUR SENIOR CITIZENS.

WHEN GIFTS ARE LISTED AS ANONYMOUS, WHO'S ANONYMOUS?

ONLY THE BOARD KNOWS THAT.

THE BOARD?

SIX MARVELOUS PEOPLE.

MEN? WOMEN? BOTH.

TONIGHT IS BOARD NIGHT.

I'D LOVE TO SHOW YOU OFF.

I'D LOVE TO MEET THEM.

DATE?

YEAH. DATE.

AND SO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE BOARD,

I'M A WIDOW.

MMM. BEHAVE YOURSELF.

MALCOLM POMEROY.

TELL ME, MR. ANDERSON,

WHAT DOES YOUR MANAGEMENT CORPORATION MANAGE?

THAT'S MY WIFE OVER THERE.

SHE'S NOT A WIDOW.

HA HA HA HA HA!

HA HA.

AND YOU'RE NOT THE ONE--

YOU'RE NOT THE ONES TO BE THANKING ME.

IT IS I WHO'VE BEEN MADE TO FEEL

THAT THIS IS SOMETHING

THAT I MUST DO.

SO, I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU

FOR THE TIME THAT I'VE BEEN GIVEN.

IT'S A THRILL TO...

BE HERE WITH PEOPLE

AND KNOW WHO IS HERE

WHEN THEY ARE HERE.

TIME AND TIME AGAIN,

I HAVE SEEN OLD AND YOUNG

STEPPING SIDE BY SIDE

AND NEITHER ONE KNOWING WHERE THEY'RE GOING

OR FROM WHENCE THEY COMETH.

NOT IN PERSON, EH, MANNY?

HA HA HA HA.

HOW ARE THINGS AT HOME?

FINE, SUGAR.

AUNT NELLIE, UH, ATLANTA, UH...

AND OTHER THINGS!

RELAX, EMMA.

I AM RELAXED.

UH, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING COLD?

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE?

SO, MANNY...

AS YOU NO DOUBT HAVE NOTICED,

I HAVE A LOT ON MY MIND.

YES, I CAN SEE THAT.

WELL, I...

I GOT A LOT ON MY MIND, TOO, MOTHER, DEAR.

(COUGHS)

(SNIFFS)

BUT YOU GO FIRST.

ALL RIGHT.

MOTHER, PLEASE...

IT HAS TO BE SAID, CHILD.

NO, IT DOESN'T.

YOU'VE SAID IT BEFORE.

HE KNOWS HOW YOU FEEL.

LET'S JUST SIT DOWN AND GET ACQUAINTED.

WE ARE ALREADY ACQUAINTED.

WE ARE A FAMILY.

MANNY IS FAMILY, TOO, MAMA.

HE'S PART OF MY FAMILY.

THE BIBLE SAYS, "LET THEM MARRY."

FIRST CORINTHIANS.

NOW, IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FATHER AND ME,

AT LEAST THINK ABOUT YOUR SISTERS.

EMMA, PLEASE...

NIKKI AND THE BOY ARE HAPPY.

AND THEY'RE TOGETHER.

AND THE BOY AIN'T WHOOPING ON HER.

SHE AIN'T POISONING HIS FOOD

OR TRYING TO WORK ROOTS ON HIM.

THAT'S MORE THAN YOU CAN SAY

FOR A LOT OF THE MARRIED FOLKS THAT WE DO KNOW.

WELL, YOU DO LOOK GOOD, NIKKI.

OH, THANKS, DADDY.

MANNY'S GOOD TO ME.

WELL, Y'ALL JUST KEEP ON BEING GOOD TO ONE ANOTHER.

NOW, WILL SOMEBODY BE GOOD TO ME?

I NEED ANOTHER DRINK.

HA HA!

OH, I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU.

HAH.

NIKKI TELL ME YOU'RE IN THE STOCK MARKET.

HOW'S BUSINESS?

WELL, RIGHT NOW THEY GOT ME RUNNING THE BONDS.

I TOLD YOU.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK HERE?

WHAT'S YOUR ADDRESS, YOUR AGE, YOUR MAMA'S NAME,

YOUR SEXUAL PREFERENCES?

STOP IT!

HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO GET ANYTHING

IF YOU CANNOT KEEP YOUR MIND ON IT FOR ONE MINUTE?

YOU HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN OF A 5-YEAR-OLD.

TIME, DAMN IT.

WHAT?

TIME OUT.

BAD-MOUTHING ME ABOUT MY ATTENTION SPAN.

I'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION.

THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG.

I PAID ENOUGH ATTENTION

TO PEEP YOUR GAME, MISS THOMAS.

SO DON'T GIVE ME ALL THAT BULLSHIT.

YOU'RE SHUCKIN'.

I AIN'T NEVER GOIN' TO GET NO DAMN JOB,

NOT WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU AROUND.

I BEG YOUR PARDON?

YOU AIN'T DEAF.

(CLASS GASPING)

I SAID, IF WE ALL GET JOBS,

IT'LL BLOW YOUR GAME.

YEAH, GAME.

ALL YOU MIDDLE-CLASS, BOURGIE-ASS NIGGERS.

I KNOW WHERE YOU COMIN' FROM.

ALL OF Y'ALL GOT THE JOBS,

AND YOU MAKIN' YOUR MONEY OFF OF US.

RIGHT ON.

ADMINISTERING TO YOUR LESSER BROTHERS

AND SISTERS.

ALL US POOR, DEPRIVED, GHETTO CHILDREN...

SHIT!

WHOO!

WHAT YOU HIGH-TONED NIGGERS MAKE

FOR THIS JIVE-ASS NUMBER

YOU RUNNIN' DOWN ON US, HUH?

15,000?

AND MR. DURRELL...

15, 20,000?

WELL, IF IT WASN'T FOR NIGGERS LIKE US,

Y'ALL WOULDN'T MAKE SHIT!

AND WHERE Y'ALL LIVE, HUH?

NOT AROUND HERE, I BET YOU THAT.

AM I RIGHT OR WRONG?

SO, DON'T BLOW SMOKE UP MY ASS

ABOUT NO FREAKIN' JOB.

WHOO!

MY MAMA DIDN'T RAISE NO FOOLS.

NOW, I GOT ENOUGH ATTENTION SPAN

TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENIN'.

WHAT'S HAPPENIN' IS

I CAN RECOGNIZE A POVERTY PIMP

WHEN I SEE ONE.

WHAT'S HAPPENIN' IS BOURGEOIS BULLSHIT.

BARBARA, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET ME

ON SOME KIND OF MIDDLE-CLASS GUILT.

I WENT TO SCHOOL, BARBARA.

I PUT IN MY TIME, AND I PAID MY DUES.

I WENT TO SCHOOL, BARBARA!

IT WAS HARD WORK...

AND I WORKED HARD.

MY ASS BLEEDS FOR YOU.

(LAUGHTER)

SO, NOW YOU WORK HARD

ON YOUR GAME OF UNDERPRIVILEGED NIGGERS.

CAN YOU DO THE WORK?

ARE YOU DEPENDABLE?

CAN YOU GET ALONG WELL WITH OTHERS?

SHIT!

CAN YOU DO THE WORK?

NOW, YOU PUT YOUR ATTENTION SPAN TO THAT

WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR 15,000

AND YOUR TIGHT-ASS SELF

BACK TO YOUR "FIRST NEGRO IN MY BLOCK"

NEIGHBORHOOD...

AND YOUR ELECTRIC VIBRATOR.

OOH!

NOW, WHAT YOU NEED IS A MAN...

YEAH!

OR SOMEBODY.

WHATEVER GETS YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT.

THAT'S A TERRIBLE THING TO SAY TO ME.

EVEN TO IMPLY SUCH UNTRUTHS...

IS SO U-U-UNFAIR.

OH.

YOU MEAN, LIKE TALKING ABOUT

SOMEBODY'S ATTENTION SPAN?

RIGHT ON!

(APPLAUSE)

YAY!

(SOBBING)

I DIDN'T START THAT.

I WAS MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS,

PLAYING HER GAME.

SHE HAD NO CALL TALKING ABOUT HOW DUMB WE ARE.

HEY...

BARBARA JUST GOT MAD

AND WENT FOR THAT MIDDLE-CLASS SORE SPOT.

SHE'S RIGHT.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING MIDDLE-CLASS.

THE POINT IS WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

BUT THAT'S WHAT I DO, YOU KNOW.

I DO MAKE MY LIVING FROM THEIR MISERY.

YOU'RE WORKING FOR A BETTER LIFE FOR THEM--

BARBARA INCLUDED.

I GIVE HER CREDIT.

BARBARA'S BRIGHT.

JOHN IS SHARP.

BUT MOST OF THESE KIDS...

THE TRAGEDY IS THE SCHOOL SYSTEM

HAS DONE A ROTTEN JOB.

IT HASN'T TAUGHT THE CHILDREN--

ESPECIALLY GHETTO CHILDREN--

HOW TO THINK THROUGH A PROBLEM,

HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS,

AND HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT TOOLS

TO SOLVE IT.

BECAUSE LIFE IS A SERIES OF PROBLEMS.

I THINK THE STREET'S TEACHING THEM

HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.

I MEAN, NOT ABOUT A JOB MAYBE,

BUT ABOUT HUSTLING...

TO SURVIVE.

YOU KNOW?

WELL, MYSELF...

I KNOW ABOUT THAT.

BUT THESE KIDS DON'T KNOW JOBS OR HUSTLING.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE HERE.

ANYWAY, STREET HUSTLING IS NOT AN ACTION.

IT'S A REACTION.

IT'S ACCEPTING SECOND-CLASS STATUS.

STILL, THE WHOLE QUESTION

OF FINDING JOBS FOR THEM GETS TO ME.

THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN GOTTEN TO...

GIVEN THE PROPER DIRECTION

WHEN THEY WERE 3, 4, 5.

AND HERE THEY ARE AT 17, 18,

AND HERE WE ARE...

WITH A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS,

TRYING TO CLEAN UP THE DAMAGE, THE MESS,

THE SCHOOLS HAVE SPENT MILLIONS TO MAKE.

(SIGHS)

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

MAYBE IT IS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.

BUT THEN...

THERE MUST BE SOME OTHER...

A DIFFERENT KIND OF APPROACH.

MR. DURRELL, THEY NEED SO MUCH.

NOW, I'M A WOMAN.

I'M NOT A VERY STRONG WOMAN...

AND YOU'RE A MAN AND...

YOU'RE BLACK AND SUCCESSFUL.

WELL, YOU COULD...

WHATEVER YOU COULD COME UP WITH...

TRY.

TRY, PLEASE.

SARAH...

YOU'RE GOOD PEOPLE.

ALL RIGHT.

ANYBODY SEEN MR. DURRELL?

(YELLS) ANYBODY SEEN MR. DURRELL?

WHAT ABOUT MISS THOMAS?

THEY KEEPIN' IN PRACTICE WALKIN' ON WATER.

(LAUGHTER)

YEAH, THAT'S FUNNY.

NOW, WHERE DID THEY GO?

MISS THOMAS WENT ONE-ON-ONE WITH BARBARA

AND GOT HER ASS WASTED.

SHE SPLIT. MR. DURRELL WENT AFTER HER.

AND YOUR ASS IS NEXT.

(LAUGHTER)

HEY, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.

AH, MR. THEODORE.

HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

FINE, MR. DURRELL. AND YOU GENTLEMEN?

VERY WELL, THANK YOU. VERY WELL.

I WENT TO THE MEETING.

NOTHING.

BEAUTIFUL. WHERE DO WE GO NOW?

WE CHECK ALL THE RECORDS,

FIND OUT THE NAMES

OF THE ALTERNATE BOARD MEMBERS,

THE FORMER BOARD MEMBERS,

THE CONSULTANTS, AND THE ADVISORS.

HIS NAME'S GOT TO BE THERE.

HOW YOU GOING TO GET THOSE RECORDS?

YOU MEAN HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THEM?

WE'RE GOING TO HIT THE SAFE

IN MISS FRENCH'S OFFICE.

THE SAFE?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IT'S A-105 IPSWICH.

CAKE BOX.

I SEE.

YOU SEE WHAT?

YOU SEE WHAT?

NOTHING. JUST I SEE.

WELL, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO "HIT" THE SAFE?

TONIGHT.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS

TO RUN THESE NAMES DOWN.

THE SOONER THE BETTER.

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SURVIVE SIX WEEKS

WITH THOSE TEENAGE GORILLAS.

SIX DAYS WITH THEM

IS ENOUGH TO CURL YOUR NAPS.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE

RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE FIRE ESCAPE?

HOW MUCH DID YOU GET UP THERE?

I SAID HOW MUCH DID YOU GET UP THERE?

I WANT TO DECIDE ON OUR CUT.

I THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO MUG US.

CAN YOU FIGHT?

WE'LL KNOW IN A MINUTE.

WHAT GOOD IS THIS?

NONE OF US WERE CLOSE ENOUGH

TO SEE THEIR FACES.

THESE ARE THE BEST CON ARTISTS IN THE CITY.

THE BUM YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IS SMARTER.

THAT WAS A CLASS JOB.

USE YOUR HEAD, SHORTER.

WOULD HE HIT ME IN THIS TOWN

IF YOU COPS HAD A SHEET ON HIM?

HE'S CLEAN.

WE WENT THROUGH THIS EIGHT MONTHS AGO.

I KEEP TRYING.

WHAT ABOUT THE OLD WOMAN, MRS. FOSTER?

SHE'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES.

PRESENT ADDRESS-- COPENHAGEN, DENMARK.

REAL NAME-- BEA QUITMAN.

CARDSHARP, CON ARTIST.

IN 20 YEARS, SIX ARRESTS AND NO CONVICTIONS.

SMART.

YEAH...SMART.

DAUGHTER-- MRS. CLEO STRONG.

MARRIED JAKE STRONG, BUS DRIVER FOR THE CTA.

RESIDENCE-- MAYWOOD, ILLINOIS.

ONE SON, DARRYL.

8.

HIS GRANDMOTHER'S FAVORITE.

SHE THINKS HE PEES GINGER ALE.

YEAH, YOU DO NICE WORK.

WE AIM TO PLEASE.

MR. DURRELL, WHAT IS HAPPENING?

THEY'RE ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE HERE

ON THURSDAYS AND FRIDAYS.

I KNOW.

BUT IT'S MONDAY. THEY'RE ALL HERE.

THEY SAID YOU WERE GOING TO PUT THEM TO WORK.

YES.

YOU KNOW THEY'RE NOT READY FOR THAT.

THE KIDS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CENTER.

LET ME TRY.

BUT ON YOUR OWN?

OK, ALL RIGHT. OK.

THE JOB IS YOU WORK FOR ME.

ANY OBJECTIONS?

MAN, WHAT YOU DO?

I'M TOO NERVOUS TO STEAL.

YOU'RE GOING TO WORK HERE,

PREPARING YOURSELVES TO GET AND HOLD A JOB.

AIN'T NO BIG THING.

WE CAN DO THAT.

$100 A WEEK, FOUR HOURS A DAY, FIVE DAYS A WEEK.

HELLO.

HEY.

IT'S MY MONEY.

I'M GOING TO WORK YOUR BEHINDS TO A FRAZZLE.

THEY'LL BE NO WHINING, BITCHING, OR SHUCKING.

OR YOU'RE FIRED.

ANYBODY WANTS OUT, NOW IS THE TIME.

HEY, DURRELL, YOU DID SAY

YOU WAS GOING TO GIVE US HALF IN ADVANCE.

HELLO, HEAVEN.

YOU GOT IT, BABY.

ALL RIGHT.

YEAH, MAN.

(GASPS)

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

HALF. IT'S CALLED INCENTIVE.

INCENTIVE?

YOU GET THE OTHER HALF AT THE END OF THE WEEK.

OH, MAN!

(LAUGHTER)

GET OFF THE FLOOR, MAN.

ANYBODY DON'T WANT IT?

MISS THOMAS.

MISS THOMAS.

MISS THOMAS, OVER HERE.

MISS THOMAS.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

YOU ALL ARE A BUNCH OF LAZY, SHIFTLESS, NO GOOD BUMS.

HEY, MAN, WHERE YOU COMING FROM?

YOU'RE THE MOST USELESS BUNCH OF MISFITS

I'VE EVER SEEN.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.

TAKE THIS SOMEWHERE ELSE.

AND THOSE WHO AIN'T LAZY ARE DUMB.

HERE YOU ARE

IN THE BANNEKER COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT CENTER,

AND YOU CAN'T EVEN SPELL IT

OR TELL ME WHO BENJAMIN BANNEKER WAS.

HE DON'T PAY THE RENT.

BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING,

AND YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW NOTHING.

YOU WEAR YOUR IGNORANCE LIKE A BADGE OF HONOR,

AND YOU CALL THAT BEING COOL.

WELL, THAT'S CALLED MASTURBATION.

THAT'S RIGHT.

IT MAY MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD,

BUT IT DOES NOT PRODUCE LIFE.

IT IS TIME YOU ALL START PULLING YOUR OWN WEIGHT.

IT IS TIME YOU START BEING RESPONSIBLE

FOR YOUR OWN EXISTENCE.

IT IS TIME YOU HAD A SAY IN HOW YOU LIVE OR DIE

INSTEAD OF DOING EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO FAIL

BECAUSE IT'S EASIER.

HEY, DURRELL, LIGHTEN UP. DAMN.

YOU AIN'T GOT TO COME ON ON US LIKE THAT.

I GOT A STAKE IN Y'ALL DOING SOMETHING,

AND YOU'RE NOT FAILING.

I'M GOING TO KEEP THESE SIZE 12s UP YOUR BEHINDS

UNTIL YOU GET INTO A POSITION

WHERE YOU CAN GET A JOB AND KEEP IT.

WE'RE GOING TO CUT OUT ALL YOUR EXCUSES TO FAIL.

HEY, DURRELL, THAT'S COLD.

LIFE IS COLD.

WHAT YOU GET OUT OF BEING SO GOOD, SUGAR DADDY?

I GOT A SOFT HEART, SWEETIE BABY.

(LAUGHTER)

NOW...

IF YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTEST INTEREST

IN NOT GOING TO YOUR GRAVES A TOTAL NOTHING,

WE ARE GOING TO PLAY THE INTERVIEW GAME

ON A PROFESSIONAL BASIS.

JOHN, YOU BE THE BOSS.

ADRIAN, GO GET THE JOB.

ALL RIGHT, MOVE IT! YOU'RE ON SALARY.

GOOD MORNING.

WHERE'S YOUR SMILE?

I AIN'T NO TOM.

YOU GOT TO BE A TOM TO SMILE?

WHAT YOU GOT AGAINST HIM?

FORGET HIM.

THAT IS SO SMART.

YOU WALK OUT.

HE'S GOT A JOB, AND YOU HAVEN'T,

BUT YOU SHOWED HIM, RIGHT?

LOOK, YOU GET A JOB

BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT TO FEED YOURSELF

OR YOUR FAMILY

AND WALK WITH PRIDE BECAUSE YOU ARE DOING IT.

NO WELFARE, NO UNEMPLOYMENT, NO RICH RELATIVES,

NO CHURCH CHARITIES.

YOUR OWN ASS IS ON THE LINE.

YOU WANT TO BE A MAN, A WOMAN?

FEED YOUR FAMILY.

ALL RIGHT, ADRIAN, GO BACK TO YOUR CHAIR.

WILLIE...

COME FOR THE JOB.

GOOD MORNING.

MORNING.

I'M WILLIE MANGUM. I, UH...

I CAME TO SEE ABOUT A JOB.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK FOR ME?

WELL, BECAUSE--

ACTUALLY, I'D JUST LIKE TO WORK ANYWHERE.

I NEED THE JOB. I JUST WANT TO WORK.

YOU NEED THE JOB?

THEN WHY'D YOU LEAVE YOUR LAST JOB?

I HAVEN'T WORKED BEFORE, BUT, UH...

BUT, UH, WHAT?

BUT MY MOTHER--

I'M OLD ENOUGH TO BE WORKING NOW.

MY FATHER IS A-- WELL, HE'S NOT THERE,

AND I HAVE A LITTLE BROTHER.

WELL, THERE'S FOUR OF US,

AND MY LITTLE BROTHER TIMOTHY...

WELL, HE'S NOT RIGHT.

I KNOW THAT, I MEAN...

HE'S KIND OF SLOW,

AND THE KIDS LAUGH AT HIM SOMETIMES.

BUT IT'S NOT TIMMY'S FAULT.

I MEAN, BECAUSE HE JUST LIKES EVERYBODY,

BUT THEY LAUGH AT HIM SOMETIMES,

AND MAMA TRIES, BUT, UM,

SHE LOST THAT LITTLE PIECE OF JOB SHE HAD.

CUTBACKS AND EVERYTHING.

AND, UH, THE WELFARE SENDS SOME,

BUT IT'S...

SEE, TIMOTHY CAN'T BE BY HISSELF.

HE'S LIKE A LITTLE BABY,

AND I WATCH HIM...SOME.

MAMA SAYS I HAVE TO BE A MAN NOW...

BUT SOMETIMES I GET SCARED...

BECAUSE IT'S HARD SOMETIMES.

SHE DON'T FORCE ME OR NOTHING, BUT...

IF I'M GOING TO BE A MAN,

THEN I GOT TO GET ME A JOB AND HELP OUT

OR MOVE

OR SOMETHING.

SO...

I GOT IN THIS PROGRAM...

TO GET ME A JOB,

YOU KNOW, TO HELP OUT...

MY FAMILY

AND SO MAMA CAN WATCH TIMMY.

HE ALMOST HURT HISSELF A COUPLE OF TIMES...

BUT HE'S REALLY SWEET

AND KIND OF A HAPPY KID, YOU KNOW?

AND IF I'M GOING TO BE A MAN...

I GOT TO GET ME A JOB...

'CAUSE OF TIMMY...

AND MAMA.

YO, MANGUM, UH...

PEOPLE LAUGH SOMETIMES.

THEY PROBABLY ALL LIKE TIMOTHY AS MUCH AS YOU DO.

IT'S JUST THEIR WAY, YOU KNOW?

YOU REALLY WANT A JOB, DON'T YOU?

YES, I WANT THE JOB.

WILLIE, YOU SURE YOU CAN DO THE WORK?

I'LL LEARN IT.

I THINK YOU WILL. YOU'RE ALL RIGHT, MAN.

YOU OUGHT TO HAVE A CHANCE.

WILLIE...

GO OUT TO THE COFFEE MACHINE

AND BRING ME A CONTAINER OF BLACK COFFEE.

GO.

ANYBODY ELSE?

BARBARA?

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

I'M BARBARA HANLEY, AND I'D LIKE A JOB,

AND I'M NOT GOING TO SMILE

'CAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT.

YOU'RE NOT FEELING WELL, BARBARA?

I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT 'CAUSE I'M--

I'M MAD.

WHY ARE YOU MAD, BARBARA?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK HERE?

LET SOMEBODY ELSE GO. I'M NOT READY FOR THIS.

OK.

BUBBA.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

MY NAME IS PERCY WATKINS.

I WOULD LIKE A JOB.

WHAT MAKES YOU WANT A JOB HERE, PERCY?

WELL, SIR,

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ME A JOB

SO I CAN BUY ME SOME GRASS.

EASY, SONNY!

GOING TO SPILL MY FIRST-AID KIT.

I DID SO ENJOY YOUR VISIT.

THANKS FOR A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

TAKE CARE AND COME SEE US.

BON VOYAGE AND HAVE A SAFE TRIP.

THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER.

I LOVE NIKKI.

WE GOT GOOD EYES. WE SEE YOU LOVE THE GIRL.

I CAN SEE YOU'RE HAPPY, SUGAR.

YOU'RE GENTLE WITH HER.

I KNOW WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU,

AND I RESPECT YOU FOR IT.

IT'S JUST THAT...

ONE DAY, MAYBE NIKKI AND I...

WELL, YOU SEE...

AHEM.

MAYBE WE'LL GET MARRIED.

OH!

PROBABLY.

I MEAN...

I MEAN, OTHERWISE,

HOW WOULD IT LOOK TO HER SISTERS

WHEN THEY COME TO VISIT?

OH, LORD.

YOU SEE, THIS IS ALL THE FAMILY I'VE GOT,

RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.

SO, I GUESS I GOT TO DO

WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THE FAMILY.

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT, BOY.

COME ON, EMMA, DANIEL. LET'S GO.

IT'S A LONG, DRY TRIP. COME ON.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

HEY.

LAST NIGHT I HAD AN IDEA.

GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN.

GOOD MORNING, MR. THEODORE.

LAST NIGHT I HAD AN I--

IS IT POSSIBLE HE COULD HAVE A DEEP TELEPHONE VOICE?

YOU NEVER KNOW THESE DAYS.

I'M GOING TO NEED YOUR PERMISSION

TO ESCALATE MY ULTIMATE WEAPON.

I DON'T GO FOR VIOLENCE.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT VIOLENCE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT SEX APPEAL.

I'M GOING TO USE IT ON MISS FRENCH.

BE SERIOUS.

I AM SERIOUS.

I'M SERIOUS.

SHE'S GOT EYES FOR ME.

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS TAKE HER OUT.

ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER.

AT THE END OF A WEEK,

ANYTHING I ASK HER ABOUT ANYBODY

SHE WILL TELL ME.

SHE WILL SMACK HER MAMA IF I TELL HER TO.

YOU'RE THE ONE SHE'LL SMACK.

I TAKE IT YOU DIDN'T TURN UP ANYTHING

ON THOSE NAMES.

NO. BUT HIS NAME'S GOT TO BE

ON THAT LIST SOMEWHERE.

NOW, YOU GIVE ME PERMISSION TO WORK ON MISS FRENCH,

AND I WILL UNCOVER THAT DUDE,

AND WE WILL GET AWAY CLEAN.

JUST BE COOL. LET ME WORK ON HER.

POOR BABY.

DON'T BE SO MODEST, DAVID.

TWO MAILROOM JOBS FIRM AND COMMITTED?

THAT IS GREAT.

WE STILL HAVE 28 MORE TO GO.

YOU'LL GET THEM.

I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOU.

THANK YOU.

WE'RE OFF TO LUNCH.

YES, MISS FRENCH.

OF COURSE THERE ARE PROBLEMS

I INTENDED TO DISCUSS WITH YOU.

FOR INSTANCE, THE BOARD MEMBERS,

THE CONTRIBUTORS, THE SPONSORS.

I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE BACKGROUNDS

OF THE CONTRIBUTORS AND THE SPONSORS.

THE BIG CORPORATIONS WANT TO KNOW THE NAMES.

LET'S MEET.

I'LL GIVE YOU WHAT I CAN.

I'LL PICK YOU UP AT 7:30.

AFTER DINNER AT THE GROTTO,

WE CAN GO TO THE DISCO IN OLD TOWN.

I THOUGHT YOU MEANT MEET IN MY OFFICE.

WITH ALL THE HUSTLE AND TENSION IN THERE?

I GOT TO MEET MY BOSS.

THERE'S NOT MUCH TO KNOW.

I WAS BORN ABOUT FOUR BLOCKS FROM HERE.

I'M 5'7", 5 POUNDS OVERWEIGHT,

AND DIVORCED.

DIVORCED?

OH, SOME TURKEY MESSED OVER YOU?

HE WANTED TO FLY AIRPLANES, I WANTED TO DO THIS.

HE STILL WRITES FROM OVERSEAS.

YOU'RE STILL CARRYING A TORCH?

THIS IS A BUSINESS MEETING, ISN'T IT, MR. ANDERSON?

I FEEL I KNOW YOU WELL ENOUGH

TO ASK YOU TO DINNER...

FOR BUSINESS.

YOU TALK FAST.

I HOPE THE WORK GOES AS QUICKLY.

I WORK FAST ALSO.

I KEEP MY BUSINESS LIFE AND SOCIAL LIFE SEPARATE.

WOULD IT HELP IF I SAID

I WAS A TEENAGER LOOKING FOR A JOB?

NO.

YOU EVER HEAR OF THE QUANTUM THEORY?

PHYSICS WASN'T MY BEST SUBJECT.

IT'S NOT PHYSICS. IT'S A DISCOTHEQUE.

YOU KNOW, LIKE, YOU DO THE FUNKY CHICKEN,

THE FUNKY RHINOCEROS.

I KNOW.

YOU DO?

YOU THINK I'M AN OLD SPINSTER

DEDICATING HER LIFE TO GOOD WORKS AND NO FUN?

I DIDN'T SAY YOU WAS OLD.

YOU'RE WRONG.

YOU ARE OLD?

NO, THE OTHER.

I'M SORRY. I WAS WRONG.

WE'LL GO TO DINNER TONIGHT--

NO.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST ME?

I'M RICH, I'M SUAVE...

AND I HAVE A CLEAN NAVEL.

I'M FULL-BLOODED.

HOW ABOUT IF I'M A VETERAN?

DAVID ANDERSON, YOU'RE IMPOSSIBLE.

YOU JUST HAVE TO GET TO KNOW ME.

MAYBE I BETTER.

I'M GOING TO DAMPEN MY HAIR.

I CAN FEEL IT TIGHTEN. EXCUSE ME.

YES, PLEASE.

WHOO!

DAVID ANDERSON.

HUH?

YOU HAVEN'T DANCED WITH ME ALL NIGHT.

IF YOU DON'T DANCE WITH ME,

I'LL HOLLER RAPE.

IS THAT A REQUEST?

WHAT? THE RAPE OR THE DANCE?

DON'T MAKE NO NEVER MIND TO ME.

DON'T MAKE NO NEVER MIND TO ME NEITHER.

LOOK OUT.

* COOCHIE, COOCHIE, COOCHIE *

* GET YOUR SMOOCHIE, SMOOCHIE, SMOOCHIE *

* GIVE ME YOUR COOCHIE, COOCHIE, COOCHIE *

* COME GET YOUR SMOOCHIE, SMOOCHIE, SMOOCHIE... **

WHAT A LOVELY EVENING.

WANT TO DO IT AGAIN?

SOMEBODY?

IS IT SERIOUS?

KIND OF SERIOUS.

THAT'S A FENCE I WON'T TRY TO CLIMB.

I HOPE THAT YOU'RE HAPPY.

I HOPE THAT HE'S MISERABLE,

BUT I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

THANKS, DAVID. YOU'RE A VERY NICE MAN.

WELL...IF HE EVER HURTS YOU, THOUGH,

I'LL PERSONALLY COME IN AND BEAT HIM TO DEATH

WITH ONE OF MANNY'S TEENAGE GORILLAS.

I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.

NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT COMMON COURTESY.

YOU KNOW WHAT COURTESY IS?

RESPECT.

THAT'S ALL.

RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLE,

AND THAT COMES FROM RESPECT FOR YOURSELF.

YOU GIVE RESPECT SO OTHERS WILL GIVE YOU RESPECT.

IF THEY DON'T, IT'S ON THEM.

HOW MANY PLAY BASKETBALL?

I'M BAD, MAN.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

SLAM'S MY NAME. THAT'S MY GAME.

DENISE, SHOW THAT SUCKER.

YEAH, SHOW THE DUNK.

ERLINE THE PEARLINE.

NOW YOU SEE ME, NOW YOU DON'T.

CAN'T MISS YOU THE WAY YOUR SNEAKERS SMELL.

OK, OK, OK, OK.

NOW, SOMEONE FEEDS YOU A PASS,

YOU SCORE, YOU SAY, "HEY, NICE PASS."

NOW, THAT IS A COMMON COURTESY.

COMMON, NO BIG DEAL.

"PLEASE" AND "THANK YOU" ARE COMMON COURTESIES.

COMMON, NO BIG DEAL.

NOTHING TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU.

NOW LET'S DISCUSS THE PSYCHOLOGY

OF COMMON COURTESY.

PSYCHOLOGY! WHOO-WHEE!

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COURTESY IS

TO ENCOURAGE SOMEONE TO GIVE YOU THAT PASS,

SET THAT PICK

SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT.

GETTING PEOPLE TO HELP YOU GET OVER.

COURTESY IS TO GIVE AND GO.

GIVE AND GET.

I AIN'T PLAYING WITH DENISE.

SHE'S A BALL HOG.

A JOB'S LIKE A BALL TEAM.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE EVERYBODY YOU PLAY WITH.

THE ONLY WAY YOU'LL GET YOUR PIECE OF THE ACTION,

YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP RING, IS...

IS FOR EVERYBODY TO GET ONE.

THAT'S WHAT WINNING IS--

GETTING YOUR PIECE OF THE ACTION.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO DOWNTOWN INTO THE FIELD

TO PRACTICE COMMON COURTESY.

ALL RIGHT! OH, YEAH!

MAKE A RIGHT TURN.

IT'S ABOUT TWO BLOCKS DOWN.

HEY!

YES?

WHERE IS--

I'M LOOKING FOR THE McNALLY ASSOCIATION--ASSOCIATES.

THEY'RE UPSTAIRS. YOU DELIVERING SOMETHING?

NO. I'M LOOKING FOR A JOB.

18th FLOOR.

HEY, YOU GOT A LIGHT?

NO, I DON'T.

GOOD MORNING.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

I'M GOING TO INQUIRE ABOUT A JOB.

COULD YOU DIRECT ME TO THE OFFICES

OF McNALLY ASSOCIATES, PLEASE?

SURE. THEY'RE IN 1805.

THANK YOU.

DO YOU HAVE A LIGHT?

YEAH. SURE.

HERE YOU GO.

THANKS AGAIN.

DON'T MENTION IT. OH! GOOD LUCK WITH THE JOB.

OK, NOW, HERE'S THE PLAY.

YOU GIVE COURTESY AND KINDNESS,

AND YOU GET THEM BACK.

BARBARA, IT'S YOUR TURN. YOU PICK OUT ANYBODY.

GET THE DIRECTIONS TO THE GARFIELD HAYS MONUMENT.

THE WHAT?

DAMN, BARBARA.

THE DAMN GARFIELD HAYS MONUMENT.

DON'T YOU KNOW NOTHING?

LORD HAVE MERCY!

JESUS, HELP MY PEOPLE!

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE PLACE.

THERE IS NO SUCH MONUMENT, BUT GO AND ASK.

GET THE INFORMATION ANYWAY.

SQUEEZE IT OUT. GET IT OUT,

BUT GET IT WITH KINDNESS, HUH? AND COURTESY, OK?

ALL RIGHT.

NOW.

NOW, YOU READY?

YEAH.

OK, LET'S GO.

GO ON, GIRL.

ALL RIGHT.

SIR, COULD YOU HELP ME, PLEASE?

WHAT DO YOU WANT, KID?

I THINK I'M LOST.

I HAVE TO FIND

THE GARFIELD HAYS MONUMENT.

HEY, YOU GUYS KNOW WHERE THE MONUMENT IS?

NO, BOSS.

BOSS, IT'S A QUARTER OF.

OH, SEE, THEY'RE WAITING FOR ME--

MY MOTHER, FATHER, AND LITTLE BROTHER.

WE BETTER GO!

TAKE YOUR TIME. THE LITTLE GIRL'S LOST!

I DON'T WANT TO TAKE YOUR TIME, SIR.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, KID. NOW, LET ME SEE.

THE GARFIELD MONUMENT, HUH? MONUMENT?

I'VE BEEN THERE LOTS OF TIMES.

IT'S A BIG PLACE, HUH?

YEAH, PRETTY BIG.

I PLAYED THERE WHEN I WAS A KID.

I USED TO FEED THE PIGEONS.

YOU SEE DOWN THERE?

SEE THAT POLICEMAN DOWN THERE?

UH-HUH.

GO ASK THE COP.

HE'LL TELL YOU WHERE IT IS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

HAVE A NICE DAY NOW.

THAT'S OK, LITTLE GIRL. BE CAREFUL NOW.

SWEET KID.

HEY! HEY!

ALL RIGHT, BARBARA.

HEY!

ALL RIGHT. OK, NOW.

WE'RE HEADING BACK TO THE CENTER.

LET'S GO. BACK TO THE CENTER.

OH, BOY. AW.

WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT?

NICE LADY.

WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT FOR YOU AND ME?

YOU? HEY, MAN, THERE'S A CHUMP

ALREADY IN THE PICTURE.

THE NAMES.

I DON'T KNOW THE TURKEY'S NAME.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE NAMES FROM THE SAFE.

I FIGURE IF I GET BALLET TICKETS,

I'LL BE ABLE TO IMPRESS HER WITH MY CLASS.

IT'S BEEN A BAD DAY.

I'M WORKING ON IT.

HAVE YOU TALKED TO FLORENCE

ABOUT THE CHILDCARE CENTER?

YES, BUT WE NEED MORE PARENT PARTICIPATION

BECAUSE WE--

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

EXCUSE ME.

MORNING.

MORNING.

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

GOOD.

I'VE CHANGED MY MIND.

ABOUT WHAT?

I'M GOING TO CLIMB THAT FENCE.

OH?

THAT'S RIGHT.

HE'S NO MORE ENTITLED TO YOU THAN I AM.

WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS ANYWAY?

WHO IS HE?

ROGER LAWRENCE.

ROGER LAWRENCE?

ROGER LAWRENCE?

LILA LAWRENCE?

I MEAN, WHAT KIND OF NAME IS THAT?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

HUH? NO.

YOU'RE NOT?

WELL, WHAT DOES HE DO?

HE'S THE REGIONAL SALES DIRECTOR,

PHARAOH PRODUCTS.

WELL, WHERE IS HE?

HE'S OUT OF TOWN.

HE'S IN D.C.

UH-HUH. IN WASHINGTON, D.C.?

HE'S TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.?

WELL, I'M TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS RIGHT HERE.

YOU KNOW WHY?

MEANING WHAT?

MEANING THAT I'VE CHANGED MY MIND.

IT MEANS I'M GOING TO BE SHOOTING AT YOU,

THAT YOU ARE IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE.

I'M GETTING FOUR TICKETS

TO THE DANCE COMPANY OF HARLEM.

YOU ARE GOING WITH ME.

MANNY'S GOING, AND NIKKI'S GOING.

BECAUSE I'M FROM TENNESSEE,

AND WHEN I GET MY TENNESSEE UP,

I WILL KICK OVER A MOUNTAIN,

KILL A BUFFALO WITH THIS LITTLE FINGER.

NO VIOLENCE TO YOURSELF, OF COURSE.

I'M GOING ACROSS THE HALL

AND GET THE 21 ON THE JOB FOR THE LITTLE GORILLAS.

BUT AT 7:30 P.M., I'M COMING BY YOUR PLACE,

AND I'M PICKING YOU UP,

AND 7:30 MEANS 7:30, NOT C.P. TIME, UNDERSTAND?

MM-HMM.

THANK YOU.

LOVELY DAY, MISS DARREN, DON'T YOU THINK?

MM-HMM. BRIGHT AND SHINY, MR. ANDERSON.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, HERE WE ARE.

AGAIN.

MAY I SHOW YOU TO YOUR DOOR?

THIS IS MY DOOR.

NO. I MEAN YOUR OTHER DOOR.

CHURCH PEOPLE.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM?

ARE THEY LONELY?

THEY JUST RIDE UP AND DOWN IN THIS BUILDING?

YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE?

IT'S YOUR BUILDING.

ARE THESE STATUES OR WHAT?

GOOD NIGHT.

RAH!

YEAH! HEY, HEY!

GO ON! GET IN LINE!

WHAT TAKES YOU SO LONG?

THANK YOU.

WHOO!

TAPE IT SOFT.

GET DOWN THIS WEEKEND.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN DO THIS

OR WHAT IT IS YOU'RE REALLY DOING,

BUT I LIKE IT.

MR. ANDERSON IS DOING WELL

WITH FINDING THEM JOBS, TOO.

KEEP PRAYING.

WE'VE STILL GOT TO HOUSEBREAK THEM.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT.

I'LL BURN INCENSE NIGHT AND DAY.

A FEW CANDLES WOULDN'T HURT.

MR. TILLMAN, THANKS. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

CAN YOU CALL ME THURSDAY?

THANK YOU, SIR. BYE-BYE.

SAVE ME FROM COMMITTEES!

HA HA HA!

JOBS 17, 18, AND 19.

YOU ARE WORKING MIRACLES.

I AM A CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY.

I'M GOING TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE TOP.

WHEN I GET THERE, I'M TAKING YOU AWAY FROM HERE.

NO THANKS.

THIS IS MY THING.

WHEN I WENT AWAY TO COLLEGE,

IT WAS JUST SO I COULD COME BACK HERE

BECAUSE OF A TRULY BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,

THAT ONE THERE.

MARTHA BURKE.

SHE STARTED THE CENTER.

SHE HAD MY JOB.

YOU KNOW BARBARA

THAT MANNY HAS SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH?

THAT WAS ME, ALWAYS MAD AND NEVER KNOWING WHY

UNTIL I MET MRS. BURKE.

SHE TURNED MY LIFE AROUND.

SHE GOT MAD EVERY TIME

SHE SAW A KID'S LIFE BEING WASTED.

THE CENTER WAS HER PASSION.

SHE'S DEAD NOW, BUT NOT REALLY.

WHO'S THIS GENTLEMAN WITH HER?

THAT'S MR. BURKE, AND THAT'S THE HAMILTONS.

MR. BURKE?

MM-HMM.

IS HE CONNECTED WITH THE CENTER IN ANY WAY?

NO. IT WAS HER BABY.

YOU KNOW HIM?

I'VE SEEN HIM BEFORE.

MAYBE, IF YOU'VE HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH THE LAW.

OH, REALLY?

MM-HMM.

AH.

OH, WHY?

BECAUSE THAT'S DETECTIVE JOSHUA BURKE,

JUST RETIRED, I THINK.

OH, REALLY?

HI, DAVE. COME ON IN.

HONEY!

YOU KNOW A CAT NAMED JOSHUA BURKE?

DETECTIVE JOSHUA BURKE,

JUST RETIRED FROM THE FORCE.

HIS WIFE MARTHA BURKE

DIED ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO.

NOW, HERE'S THE BOMBSHELL.

MARTHA BURKE WAS COORDINATOR OF THE CENTER.

OUR CENTER?

YES. SHE STARTED IT. HER BABY, HER PET.

NOW, FOUR YEARS AGO, SHE TOOK SICK.

THE WOMAN WHO TOOK OVER HER JOB

WAS THE WOMAN SHE'D TRAINED.

LILA! LILA FRENCH!

YES. I THINK JOSHUA BURKE IS OUR MAN.

LET'S CHECK HIM OUT.

I TOOK DOWN HIS NUMBER.

(RING)

HELLO?

HELLO?

HELLO. WHO IS THIS?

HELLO?

GOT HIM!

GOT HIM!

I WANT HIM PICKED APART

FROM THE DAY HE WAS BORN.

WE WILL FIND OUT SOMETHING, ANYTHING

THAT WILL GET HIM OFF OF US.

I WANT HIM BY THE SHORT HAIRS.

GIVE ME TWO DAYS,

AND YOU'VE GOT HIM ON A PLATTER,

SHORT HAIRS AND ALL.

COULD YOU TELL ME

WHERE I COULD FIND MISS FRENCH?

RIGHT IN THERE, MISS.

BUT OUR ADVANTAGE IS THAT OUR KIDS

ARE PRESCREENED IN THE PROGRAM.

SOMEONE TO SEE YOU, MISS FRENCH.

A MRS. QUITMAN?

SO THEY'RE ALREADY FAMILIAR

WITH YOUR EMPLOYEE REQUIREMENTS,

AND THEY WANT TO WORK.

I'M BEA QUITMAN.

I'M LOOKING FOR MANUEL DURRELL.

HE'S AN OLD FRIEND.

MANNY'S IN THE FIELD TODAY.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAVE A MESSAGE?

I'M IN FROM COPENHAGEN

JUST FOR THE DAY.

I'M GOING DOWN TO THE NASH CORPORATION.

HELLO. MY NAME IS DAVE ANDERSON.

I WORK WITH MANNY.

GOT A BITE ON JOBS 20 AND 21.

I'M SO DISAPPOINTED.

HE'LL BE BACK BY THE END OF THE DAY.

MAYBE I CAN GET BACK LATER.

IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU.

NICE MEETING YOU.

$1.50.

SO?

YES, HE WORKS THERE. HE'LL BE BACK LATER.

THAT'S NICE.

WHAT ABOUT MY GRANDSON?

TRUST ME, GRANDMA. I TRUSTED YOU, RIGHT?

GO.

SECOND CAR ON THE LEFT.

CALL NIKKI, WILL YOU?

TELL HER TO COME MEET YOU AT YOUR HOUSE, ALL RIGHT?

LAMPKIN CALLED. JOB NUMBER 22.

GREAT, NOW JUST CALL NIKKI.

WHAT'S UP?

NOTHING. JUST DO WHAT I TELL YOU.

OK, SURE.

NAME MRS. BEA QUITMAN MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

YEAH.

SHE CAME IN AND ASKED FOR YOU, JUST LEFT.

GOT INTO A LIMO WITH FIVE HOOD TYPES,

TWO OF THEM SITTING IN YOUR CAR RIGHT NOW.

WHERE'S BEA?

IN A LIMO WITH THE OTHER THREE.

THEY LOOKING FOR YOU?

YEAH.

IS IT SERIOUS?

VERY.

I HAD LILA CALL NIKKI TO COME OVER TO HER PLACE.

THAT WAS GOOD. THANKS.

BEA.

IF SHE GAVE HER RIGHT NAME,

SHE MUST BE TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

I'M GOING TO STAY AWAY FROM MY CAR,

FOR ONE THING

UNTIL I FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

ONLY ONE MAN CAN TELL ME.

DETECTIVE JOSHUA LOGAN BURKE?

RIGHT.

I DON'T WANT YOU IN ON THIS, DAVE.

IT'S MY PROBLEM.

DETECTIVE JOSHUA LOGAN BURKE

HAPPENS TO BE MY PROBLEM, ALSO.

DAVE, I'M TRYING TO KEEP YOU OUT OF THIS.

MM-HMM, BUT YOU CAN'T.

DETECTIVE JOSHUA BURKE, I BELIEVE.

CAN I HELP YOU?

YOU DAMN WELL BETTER.

COME IN.

AND THEY DROVE OFF WITH BEA.

THE OTHER TWO ARE SITTING IN MY CAR NOW.

I NEED TO PHONE THE WOMEN.

THE NEIGHBOR TOLD YOU I WAS A POLICEMAN.

THAT'S NOT QUITE TRUE. I RETIRED A MONTH AGO.

NO GAMES.

YOU'VE HAD US JUMPING ON THAT STRING FOR WEEKS.

GENTLY-- MR. DURRELL, IS IT?

IF I KNEW WHAT YOU MEANT, WHAT COULD I DO?

NIKKI'S NOT THERE.

LILA'S BEEN CALLING SINCE WE LEFT. NO ANSWER.

I GOT TO GO.

I'LL NOSE AROUND, SEE WHAT I CAN FIND.

I'LL BE AT LILA FRENCH'S APARTMENT.

YOU REMEMBER HER, YOUR WIFE'S REPLACEMENT?

FAIRMONT AVENUE. IT'S LISTED.

MISS McLEAN, THERE'S A LADY WAITING FOR YOU.

FOR ME?

YES.

NIKKI?

NIKKI?

NIKKI?

NIKKI?

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

YEAH?

I WANT MY MONEY,

ALL $475,000.

YOU GOT NIKKI?

NIKKI, AND THE OLD LADY, AND YOU.

YOU'VE GOT 18 HOURS.

LISTEN--

I'LL CALL YOU AT THE PLACE WHERE YOU WORK.

(DIAL TONE)

(RINGS DOORBELL)

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE CIRCUMSPECT, MR. BURKE.

THEY'VE TOLD ME EVERYTHING.

YES, EVERYTHING.

WHAT YOU'VE DONE ISN'T VERY NICE, MR. BURKE.

I DID IT FOR HER.

NO. MARTHA BURKE NEVER USED PEOPLE

TO GET WHAT SHE WANTED.

BRUNO CALLED.

HE'S GOT MY WOMAN.

HE WANTS HIS MONEY,

AND HE WANTS YOU...DEAD.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

I WANT MY WOMAN FREE.

I'VE ONLY GOT HALF THE MONEY.

I'LL FIND THE REST,

BUT I WON'T GO THERE

AND GIVE HIM HIS MONEY AND MY LIFE

WITHOUT SOME KIND OF A CHANCE.

YOU HAVE GOT TO GET ME AN EDGE.

BURKE, YOU OWE ME.

FOR MY WOMAN.

WHAT ARE YOU ASKING ME?

LOOK...

BRUNO HAS GOT TO HAVE

SOME KIND OF A WEAK LINK, HMM?

NOW, YOU'RE A COP.

WAS A COP.

YOU STILL KNOW HOW TO GET TO THINGS!

HEY, IF I'M GOING DOWN,

BRUNO IS GOING DOWN.

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

EVEN IF I CAME UP WITH SOME IDEAS,

YOU'LL PROBABLY NEED A HELL OF A GOOD SAFE MAN.

THAT COULD GET YOU KILLED, EVEN BEFORE YOU MET BRUNO.

BURKE...

FOR MY WOMAN.

WAIT HERE.

I'LL CALL YOU BACK.

JOSH?

YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD.

TY, I GOT TO TALK TO YOU.

WELL, WHAT IS IT?

TY, I'M GOING TO LAY IT ON YOU.

WHAT'S THE MATTER? YOU IN TROUBLE?

TY, I NEED SOME INFORMATION.

YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE IT TO ME.

HEY, YOU WANT HELP? YOU GOT IT.

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

NO?

I KNOW NOTHING. I...

TY?

WE'RE OLD FRIENDS, RIGHT?

I KNOW ABOUT THE GAMBLING.

I KNOW ABOUT THE LOANS FROM BRUNO,

AND YOU DON'T PAY THAT MONEY BACK, EVER!

YOU PAY HIM HIS WAY. I KNOW THAT.

WHEN DID YOU--

I ALWAYS KNEW.

HERE'S YOU, TY.

19 YEARS.

YOU GOT 6 YEARS TILL YOU RETIRE.

I WISH YOU WELL.

I...

GOT A SHORT MEMORY.

SOON AS I HEAR WHAT YOU GOT TO TELL ME,

I'LL FORGET WHERE IT CAME FROM.

TY, BETTER THEM THAN YOU!

OH, JESUS!

LET'S HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE.

(RING)

YEAH?

YEAH?

WHAT?

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

OK.

WE GOT TO HIT TWO PLACES.

ONE, YOU'LL NOT BELIEVE.

LET'S GO.

HI.

HI.

THIS ONE'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.

WE JUST CLEANED IT OUT.

OK.

LET'S GO.

(GROWLS)

(BARKING)

NO, PLEASE.

NO, PLEASE.

NO, NO.

I COULD HAVE OPENED THE GATE FOR YOU.

MR. DURRELL, YOUR CLASS IS READY.

IT'S ALMOST--

WOULD YOU TAKE THE CLASS? WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY.

OH. CERTAINLY.

I'M SORRY. CERTAINLY.

(RING)

YEAH?

YOU GOT MY PROPERTY?

YEAH.

WE MAKE THE EXCHANGE

AT LAKESHORE DRIVE AND WATER, 2:00.

I'LL BE THERE.

SURE YOU WILL.

IT'S ON.

LET ME GO WITH YOU.

NO.

IF THEY SEE YOU, THEY WON'T DEAL.

JUST TAKE CARE OF NIKKI.

WHERE'S MY WOMAN?

LET ME SEE THE MONEY.

WHERE IS SHE?

OK.

SHE'LL BE COMING OUT OF THAT WAREHOUSE OVER THERE.

GET IN, CON MAN.

WHERE'S MANNY?

NO! I'M NOT GOING ANYPLACE!

I WANT MANNY! MANNY! M--

SO...

LONG TIME...

LONG TIME.

YOU'RE A SMART BOY.

I GOT YOUR BOY.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

LOOK, I CAME HERE TO GIVE YOU THIS.

IT'S 2/3 OF THE MONEY. WANT TO COUNT IT?

MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING.

YOU SEE, YOU'RE AN EMBARRASSMENT TO ME,

LIKE A BOIL.

YOU INTERFERE

WITH THE NORMAL FLOW OF THINGS, BOY.

MAN.

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.

YOU'RE SMART.

I GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR THAT.

BUT NOW YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.

YOU SHOULDN'T DEAL

IN OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY.

YOU SHOULD TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE, BRUNO.

MR. BRUNO.

THAT WAS OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY,

MONEY YOU TOOK FROM POOR PEOPLE.

YOU PREACHING TO ME, CON MAN?

I DON'T STEAL THAT MONEY!

PEOPLE GIVE IT TO ME!

I PROVIDE A SERVICE.

DOPE IS A SERVICE?

GAMBLING? WHORES?

12-YEAR-OLD JUNKIES ARE INFORMED CONSUMERS?

YOU GOT A LOT OF SPUNK, BOY.

A LOT OF SPUNK.

YOU AREN'T DEALING WITH A BOY, TITTY-SUCKER.

WATCH HOW YOU TALK.

OK, SO I TOUCHED YOU,

AND I TOUCHED YOU GOOD. ALL RIGHT, I OWE YOU,

BUT YOU OWE PEOPLE.

YOU OWE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD,

SO IN A MATTER OF TOUCHING OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY,

WE'RE EVEN.

RIGHT?

RIGHT.

CAN I HAVE HIM NOW?

NO. LET HIM TALK.

IT'S HIS LAST TESTAMENT.

NOW, I WANT TO WALK OUT OF HERE

OWING YOU NOTHING, EQUAL,

SO WHY DON'T YOU COUNT THE MONEY?

I WANT TO TALK A DEAL.

DEAL?

HA.

HA HA HA HA!

HA HA HA.

YOU BELIEVE THAT?

HE WANTS TO TALK A DEAL.

DURRELL...

ONLY DEAL YOU'RE GOING TO TALK

IS WHAT KIND OF BOX

YOU WANT TO BE BURIED IN.

DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT DEALS, BOY.

OH.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

THAT'S GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF YOU, BRUNO.

THIS?

THAT MONEY?

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOTHING.

IT'S 2/3 OF NOTHING!

IT'S PRIDE...

PRINCIPLE.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT, SMART BOY.

YOU SHOULDN'T GET IN PLACES

WHERE YOU ARE A LIGHTWEIGHT.

SMART...SMART?

YOU'RE STUPID!

YOU THINK THIS IS BIG MONEY?

THIS IS NOTHING!

THIS IS CRAP! THIS IS...

WHAT IS THIS?

THAT'S A COPY OF YOUR OWNERSHIP

OF CORYELL MANAGEMENT LIMITED.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE MIGHT BE INTERESTED

IN YOUR IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.

THAT MIGHT BE THE DETAILS OF YOUR CIGARETTE BUSINESS.

THAT'S A FEDERAL OFFENSE-- INTERSTATE HIJACKING.

THE STAMPS ON THE PACKS ARE FEDERAL STAMPS.

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?

FROM A SAFE AT ST. AMBROSE MONASTERY.

THAT WAS GOOD THINKING, BRUNO.

THOSE NICE MONKS, THEY DON'T KNOW NOTHIN',

GIVE THEM A CONTRIBUTION,

AND THEY LET YOU STORE THINGS

WHERE THE COPS CAN'T COME IN.

NICE THINKING.

OH, CHECK THAT ONE OUT.

I MEAN, THAT'S IMPORTANT.

THAT IS THE DEAL BETWEEN YOU AND FOSTER

THAT GOT THE TURK KILLED IN DELAWARE.

I KNOW YOU'RE NOT CONNECTED, BRUNO.

THE SYNDICATE WOULD JUST AS SOON

HAVE YOU OUT OF THE WAY.

AND THAT PIECE OF PAPER

WILL PUT YOUR BEHIND DEEP IN A MARSH,

AND YOU, LOUIE...

YOU, STOSH...

AND YOU...

BUT ESPECIALLY HIM.

I'M GOING TO BLOW HIM AWAY, BOSS.

YOU HIT MY SAFE.

I HIT TWO SAFES.

AND I'M SURE YOU'VE NOTICED

THAT THOSE PAPERS ARE COPIES.

I'VE GOT 25 SETS...

AROUND TOWN.

NOW...

YOU BOYS WANT TO TALK A DEAL WITH A LIGHTWEIGHT? HUH?

I WANT TO WALK OUT OF HERE AND GO BACK TO MY LIFE.

YOU HEAR ME?

BACK TO MY WOMAN.

DURRELL...

25 COPIES?

AROUND TOWN.

SO ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOU

HAPPENS TO US?

THAT'S RIGHT.

SO...

YOU WALK OUT CLEAN?

WE'RE EVEN? THAT'S IT?

AND YOU STOP DEALING DOPE IN SOUTH CHICAGO.

DEAL.

WHERE'S BEA?

THE OLD LADY?

BACK IN COPENHAGEN.

HOW'D YOU FIND HER?

I'VE GOT FRIENDS EVERYWHERE.

REMEMBER THAT, BOY.

MAN.

HEY!

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DROP DEAD

OF A HEART ATTACK OR SOMETHING?

MANNY!

OH, MANNY! OH, MANNY!

OH, BABY!

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M FINE.

THEY DIDN'T HURT YOU, DID THEY?

NO, BABY, I'M FINE.

WELL, WHAT HAPPENED?

IT'S A STANDOFF FOR NOW.

THIS CENTER GETS INTO TOO MUCH EXCITEMENT FOR ME.

I'LL HAVE TO GET AN HONEST JOB.

IS THERE ANY MONEY IN THIS LINE OF WORK, SIR?

GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO FIND OUT.

I DON'T CARE IF YOU SHARECROP, BABY.

I CAN WORK.

WELL, NOW, WHAT YOU GONNA DO FOR ME?

WELL, FIRST WE'RE GETTING YOU

A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA.

OH HO.

JUST A MINUTE.

WE STILL GOT THIS PROBLEM OF--

(WOMAN SHRIEKING)

OH, MY GOD, MISS FRENCH!

IT'S HORRIBLE!

PLEASE COME, MISS FRENCH!

I TOLD HIM TO STOP BOTHERING ME!

I TOLD HIM!
