[music playing]

Don't look at me like that.

No.

There was no way I could talk to him direct.

Can hardly even look at him.

Don't you think I know that.

Well, you got to know by now that when

I commit to something, I'm all in and I go full force.

There's no other way.

No other way for me, St. Anthony.

Yeah.

I know she is.

And this is for her.

You light a candle for me?

You could do that at yourself.

You kidding me?

I go in there, that steel arm come crashing down around me.

Actually I'm surprised it doesn't

happen when you go in there.

Don't me after knocking down these stairs, Tomaso.

The guys got gyros waiting for us.

92 KG, hello.

Hello, this is Jess Gobly?

Hey, who's this?

[radio chatter]

What's this world coming to with this punk rock stuff?

Gotta be kidding.

Look at this kid's blue hair and the feathers.

What's with the feathers?

It's a trend for some of these kids.

They loving Blondie.

Yeah, I love Blondie, too.

I'd love to bang her.

My kid came home with feathers like that,

I'd kick him the fuck out.

Nobody ever tell you to get hyper?

Never.

[music playing]

What the fuck?

Look.

Look.

There's not mozzarella on my sandwich.

And the prick forgot to roast the peppers, too.

What you talking about?

I got the same thing, and it's all here.

Delicious, my friend.

Best gyros in Brooklyn.

Get the fuck out of here.

Nino's buries John's.

Oh, you're getting real cranky in your old age.

Fuck you.

[laughing]

[music playing]

How you doing?

What's up, Ronnie?

Hello, fellows.

Just in time.

The sandwiches just got here.

Hey, Benny.

What's up, guys.

You know, fellows, I been thinking.

Who'd believe that the best two quarterbacks playing

the game right now are Italian?

This is true.

But Marino is way better than Montana.

No way.

Montana's the man.

That's 'cause the prick always makes you money.

Speaking of money, you guys collect from Chung yet?

We're gonna go see him later tonight.

Well, you made sure you tell him he's slacking.

He's the only Chinese guy to cancel fireworks

in fucking Chinatown.

Hey.

Get the fuck on it.

All right.

Oh, look what the wind blew in.

It's a fucking big wind.

[laughter]

How you doing, Benny?

Hey, what's up, Sally?

Manny wants to see you.

All right.

Tell him I'll make my way over there later.

Make sure.

Make sure.

What is he out of his fucking mind.

Guess we're going up to Arthur Avenue.

[beeping]

What the fuck?

This fucking idiot, Dominic's beeping me 9-1-1.

Oh, well, what else is new?

The fucking kid's always in trouble.

What you gonna do?

You know, bail him out again, Manny?

Huh?

Let's go.

You gonna eat that?

[music playing]

Go easy.

Ain't no going easy with this thing.

Don't worry, I'm not going to wreck your baby.

I love this fucking car.

[muffled music playing]

[knocking]

Joe, Benny.

[speaking italian],, Senora Russo.

[speaking italian]

Dominic.

[speaking italian]

What you do now?

What?

What I do?

I threw Jimmy old man a beating.

Good fucking job.

No wonder his father just sent for me.

Benny, Benny, I had to.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Wrong with me?

You're asking me what's wrong with me?

I'm gotta deal with this fucking kid from the Bronx

coming to the neighborhood, banging my ex girl,

and throwing it in my face?

You just said your ex girl.

That means she can fuck whoever she wants to.

You know how many people die with these broads?

His father's a captain.

You put your hands on his son?

When the fuck you going to learn?

I turn my back on you, you know how many people

be at your front door?

I don't believe this.

I don't believe this.

How could you talk about turning your back on me?

Benny, you know me your whole life.

Your mother was my mother'sbest friend, God rest her soul.

How much longer you going to use that card for?

I don't know, Benny.

What is this about, huh?

Why can't I be down with you and your crew?

You know I'm capable.

Yeah, capable using junk and drinking all the time.

You can't keep cracking people and baseball batting people

and then run to me.

All right, I'll give you that.

Know what?

I'll give you that.

Sometimes I get a couple of drinks and me,

I want to kill all these jerk offs that think

they're fucking big shots.

But off the record guys, you know that Jimmy Armeno would

be nothing without his father.

You know what, I might tellhis father that at the sit down

I'm about to go to.

All right.

All right, Benny.

I'm sorry.

You won't ever have to go to bat for me again.

I'm gonna stop getting high.

I'm gonna stop drinking.

I'm gonna stay out of trouble.

I'm going to prove to you that I could be down

with you and your crew.

You got a lot of balls, Dom.

I respect that.

But you got to use your head, stay out of the clubs,

and stop worrying about your ex-girlfriend.

I'm not going to be able to save you if you fuck up again.

You won't ever hear anything bad about me again.

Benny, I swear to God.

I'm going to lay low.

As you already know, I don't even

have to speak to you, Benny.

I didn't reach out to Chris because I

feel you're worthy of sitting across from me.

That being said, you tell me why I

shouldn't put that kid Dominic in a box

for putting his hands on my son.

Thank you, Matty.

As you already know, sometimes these broads,

they cause major problems.

Some people, they make that pussy own them,

make them do very foolish things.

Kid swears to me he had no idea you were his father.

And he's deeply sorry about the confrontation they had.

Does sorry change the three stitches

my son has above his eye?

I understand, Matty.

It won't happen again.

I already told this kid he'snot allowed in any of the clubs

anymore.

He fucks up again, I can assure you I'll handle it.

Goddamn right you'll handle it.

Respect is all we got, Benny.

If this little prick can't respect my position

and even attempts to breathe a word to my son,

I swear to Christ--

He won't.

I'm gonna give him one pass only because I

know how close he is to you.

I appreciate it.

One pass, Benny.

Thank you.

[chatter]

Rocco, you got to show me how to do that.

What do those fucking weatherman know?

I told you it wasn't going to rain.

Good thing.

We only got four more days to make our money here.

Where's Tomaso?

[inaudible]

Who, the broad with the beard?

Don't let him hear you say that.

What's this guy doing over here?

Come and get your ice cold beer.

Guaranteed to be the coldest beer you ever had--

That's not our beer.

Gino.

Jesus Christ, you gotta have eyes

in the back of your fucking head.

Come on, take a walk with me.

Step right up, ice cold beer here.

Ice cold beer here.

Fuck you doing selling Schaeffer?

You get your fucking beer from us.

You sneak one more beer in here, then

I personally will crack your head open like a watermelon.

OK, guys, OK.

I don't want no problems with you.

Good.

Here.

Got a nice cold beer for you.

Get the fuck out of-- get the fucking beers.

Don't sell none of that fucking beer here.

Mikey, how are you?

How are you?

How's your mother?

Is she still in the hospital?

She's doing good.

Thank you.

Will you please tell her I asked for her?

I will.

Thank you so much.

You a Yankee fan?

I love the Yankees.

We'll get you some tickets next week, huh.

Thank you.

Thanks, Benny.

You know the Gambinis are trying to muscle in on us.

What the fuck?

I got the [inaudible] feast.

He wish to muscle in on that.

I took care of it already.

Everything good with your crew?

Yeah, I got everyone in check.

Just Mikey gets restless because he

wants to get straightened out already.

Yeah, fuck him.

That's why you got in a 30, and he's still waiting.

I know.

It's just hard for him because I'm so much younger,

and he's going to answer to me.

That's right, he does have to answer to you.

You want me to talk to him?

Nah, I got it.

Look at this, huh.

This is our neighborhood.

Huh.

How great is this?

Who is that?

Is that Carmine Rizzo's daughter over there?

Virginia.

Haven't seen her in years, eversince her old man went away.

He got life, right?

Oh, yeah, he ain't never coming back home.

She looks just like her mother.

Why don't you go over and talk to her?

Go on before she takes off.

Virginia.

Virginia.

Are you really going to ignore your old friend from West 9th

Street?

Oh my God, Benny.

How are you?

How you doing?

Where you been.

It's been years.

I know, Benny.

I just moved back.

I was living in Texas for a while.

Texas?

What's in Texas.

I was married.

My husband lived out there.

Didn't know that.

So you're not married no more?

No, I'm not.

You look great.

Thank you.

Come on, Ging.

I gotta go.

I'll see around.

Good seeing you, Benny.

Look how fuck you--

you didn't ask her for her beeper number?

No.

How do you even know if she has a beeper or not?

Are you out of your fucking mind?

Everybody has a beeper.

She's Carmine Rizzo's daughter.

He's doing 100 years, so make a move.

[music playing]

[chatter]

Can I get two [inaudible]?

I got this one.

It's the least I can do, right?

Jimmy, no hard feelings.

I'm happy for you guys.

I really am.

Told you my dad would straighten it out.

Hurry, Jimmy, my shoes.

You know, you were the most beautiful girl in there.

Aww.

[gasping]

[screaming]

[gunshots]

[screaming]

Shut up, you fucking slut.

[crying]

Jimmy!

[crying]

Hail Mary full of grace.

The lord is with thee.

[knocking]

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

Honey, Father Covano is here to give you the Eucharist.

God is with you, Antoinette.

I pray for you every day.

Please pray for my son.

I do, Antoinette.

Body of Christ.

Amen.

God bless you, Antoinette.

Come to church, Benny.

Please listen to Father Covano, Benny.

You need the Lord in your life.

You must pray.

God hears our prayers, Benny.

I have faith in you.

Faith in him?

God despises him.

Don't you dare say that about our son, Casper.

He's not my son anymore.

Even in this situation, couldn't help yourself.

Oh, Benny.

I love you, ma.

Please, please don't go, Benny.

Benny, please--

Love you, ma.

Benny.

Benny.

[echoing]

[hyperventilating]

[speaking italian]

Ma, [speaking italian]

Hey, Dom.

[gunshot]

No, Benny.

I told you, kid.

Why the fuck didn't you listen?

These broads ain't worth it.

[gunshot]

[music playing]

Hey.

Where's Chung?

Who?

Don't play stupid with me 'causeI'll give you a fucking karate

chop and I'll knock you halfway back to China.

No need to be nasty.

I was joking around.

I am nasty.

Look in my eyes.

I'm a nasty person who don't like to joke around

with fucking assholes.

Chung is eating at his cousin restaurant, Tabu.

My Chinese friend, Chung.

I'm sorry to interrupt you while you're eating,

but we need to talk.

Why don't you tell me why the sales are down on Canal Street

for the fireworks?

Business slow.

[laughing]

Got a fucking jokester.

I will shove those chopsticks straight up your ass.

Look, Mikey.

It's not my fault that business is so bad.

I've been losing customers because of threats.

Threats?

Yeah.

From Su Ling.

She's taking all my business.

He says that he is the only one that can sell fireworks

in Chinatown.

One week ago he did this to me.

Really?

Where is he?

Huh.

Come on.

[interposing voices]

Get up.

Get up.

No more selling fucking fireworks on Canal Street.

[agonized moaning]

Benny, you had to see it.

It was hysterical.

Mikey went bonkers on these chinks.

He even thought Chung I'm going to shove

the chopsticks of your ass.

Yeah, one thing's for sure, Mikey still

swings the bat like a 20-year-old.

Still an old G, huh.

You're fucking right.

All you gotta do is follow orders.

You do that in this life of ours, everything else is easy.

That's right Mikey.

Yeah.

Benny, look who's here.

[chatter]

[chuckling]

I'm telling you real cowboys, the hat, the boots,

the whole nine yards.

You have to believe me.

No.

Excuse me.

Sorry to interrupt but I could see you finished dinner

and I know somebody would like to have

dessert with you, Virginia.

Oh, really.

And who might that be?

Did you really need to send a messenger to get me over here?

Sit down.

I didn't know you preferred, so we

got a little bit of everything.

And exactly what I didn't want.

What do you mean?

The temptation of your charm, Benny.

Just like my father's.

Hey, that was the man.

Really?

The man?

The man who will never see daylight on the streets again?

That's why I left here, Benny.

There's a whole world out there different from here.

Guys like my father and you will never understand that.

Then why you back?

Really?

Why'd you come back?

Listen, Benny, I got to go.

My friends are waiting for me.

Thank you for the thoughtful desserts.

It's very nice.

Please sit.

Sit, Virginia.

I was always so afraid to tellyou how much I cared about you.

I had so much respect for your dad.

I didn't know how you wouldfeel me wanting to take you out.

He'd probably would've killed us both.

That's why I never asked.

You think he'd still feel the same?

My dad at this point just wants me to be happy.

Well, I think I can help with that.

That's very nice of you to say, Benny,

but I swore I would never date a street guy.

Is that why you married a guy in Texas?

How'd that turn out?

Not so good.

Didn't turn out so good, Benny.

Good night.

Come here.

I'm sorry.

Just give me one chance.

One date.

One date.

[laughing]
