[ Chattering ]

I can get your pieces by tomorrow night.

I can get you probabIy six pieces.

I got more now, but I promised some of this Iot.

I don't know as I Iike that -

buying from the same Iot as somebody eIse.

- Makes me nervous. - Yeah, weII, I understand.

You don't understand Iike I understand. I got certain responsibiIities.

Look. I toId you I understand.

- Did you get my name or didn't you? - I got your name.

- WeII, aII right. - AII right nothin'.

I wished I had a nickeI for every name I got that was aII right.

Look at that. You know what that is?

Your hand.

I hope you Iook cIoser at those guns than you did at that hand.

- Look at your own goddamn hand. - Yeah?

- Count your fuckin' knuckIes. - AII of 'em?

Count as many as you want. As many as you got, I got four more.

You know how I got those?

I bought some stuff from a man. I knew his name.

The stuff was traced.

The guy I bought it for - he's at MCI WaIpoIe for 1 5 to 25. StiII in there.

But he had some friends. I got an extra set of knuckIes.

They put your hand in a drawer...

then somebody kicks the drawer shut.

Hurt Iike a bastard.

Jesus.

What makes it hurt worse, what makes it hurt more...

is knowing what's gonna happen to you, you know?

There you are. They just come up to you and say, "Look.

"You made somebody mad. You made a big mistake...

"and now there's somebody doing time for it.

"There's nothing personaI in it, you understand, but it just has to be done.

Now get your hand out there."

You think about not doing it, you know.

When I was a kid in Sunday schooI, this nun -

she used to say, "Stick your hand out."

I stick my hand out - Whap! She'd knock me across the knuckIes with a steeI-edge ruIer.

So one day I says, when she toId me, "Stick your hand out"...

I says, "No." She whapped me right across the face with the ruIer. Same thing.

They put your hand in a drawer. Somebody kicks the drawer shut.

Ever hear bones breaking? Just Iike a man snapping a shingIe. Hurts Iike a bastard.

I don't know who you been seIIing to...

but The Man teIIs me you got guns to seII, I need guns.

Oh, Iook. You can't trace these guns. I guarantee that.

You better, or neither one of us wiII be abIe to shake hands.

Look. These guns are okay.

They're new.

Test firing's aII they've had. Brand-fuckin'-new.

Air weight, shrouded hammers, floating firing pins.

I can get you four inches and two inches. Just teII me what you want.

- How much? - Eighty.

Eighty? You ever seII guns before?

Look. I'm taIking about 30 guns here.

What do you want, a discount?

I couId seII 30 pieces tomorrow without even seeing you.

I can't get my hands on 'em fast enough.

I'II bet if I was to go down the shrine there and go to confession...

I'd get three HaiI Marys, and then the priest wouId ask me confidentiaIIy...

if I can get him something Iight to carry underneath his coat.

PeopIe are desperate for guns. I had a guy ask me seriousIy the other day...

- couId I get him a few machine guns. - What coIor was he?

He was a nice guy.

[ InhaIes, ExhaIes DeepIy ]

I never been abIe to understand a man who wanted to use a machine gun.

You get hooked with it, it's Iife.

Your best aII-around item is the four-inch Smith.

You can Iift it, she goes where you point it.

- I'II go 50. - Oh, bullshit.

Look. I'm taIking about 30 pieces. $1 ,500.

SpIit the difference. Eighteen.

I have to see the stuff.

Sure. Okay.

[ Man Announcing On Radio ] Lines up the point.

[ Crowd Cheers ]

[ Announcer Continues, lndistinct ]

Seen the ScaI IateIy?

Yeah, I see him. I don't see him.

CoyIe's been Iooking for him.

Oh, yeah?

- Say where he's at? - At home.

[ Announcer Continues, lndistinct ]

[ Announcer] Collins almost breaks it up against the -

- Kicks off to - [ Continues, lndistinct ] - [ BelI Dings ]

Three, eight, four - [ Mouthing Words ]

HeIIo, Eddie? Yeah, it's me, Artie.

Look, I gotta taIk to ya. CouId I meet ya?

Listen.

You wanna see this through, right?

I'II be here at DiIIon's.

Okay.

[ Coin Clinks ]

[ Engine Revs ]

[ Engine Stops ]

[ Laughs ]

It's a good thing you toId me you got a new car.

I wouIdn't have figured you for this. What happened to the 396?

BiIIs were eating me up.

[ Sighs ] It went Iike a bird with a flame up its ass though.

I can't swing it anymore. I'm gonna have to get married and settIe down.

- I mean, I just can't swing it anymore. - Come on. You do okay off of me.

Shit. What'd I get off you in the Iast six months?

3,700? That went easy.

I can't hack around anymore, man.

I mean, if I don't stop this, I'm gonna be Iooking at the outside from the inside.

How about you? You stiII riding?

Nah. That was before I heard about making money.

Okay. Come on. You got the stuff?

Yeah.

MostIy four inches though.

- 480, right? - How come "right"?

Four inches?

Six months ago you'd moan if I bring you anything but two inches.

I got a better cIass of trade now.

What, are you hooked in with the Mafia or something?

I'II teII you the truth - I don't know.

There's this heavyset guy, you know.

Looks Iike a mick.

Says he'II take anything I can deIiver.

I never seen such demand for guns before.

Four inches, six inches, uh, Mags...

uh, .41s, .45s, .44s.

You name it.

He just keeps bringing me the bread. It's okay with me.

You do aII right off me.

Come on. I give you 20 apiece for iron. that costs you nothing.

You do aII right.

You do better.

Don't hassIe me, man.

Look. I know what you're dumping the money on. I know, aII right.

But as Iong as you can function, that's okay with me.

But you get my ass in the gears, man, and I'm gonna turn the flame up under yours.

- Come on. I'II see you next week, aII right? - [ Engine Starts ]

[ Chattering ]

[ Dillon ] You're not Iooking too good.

I'm Iooking at three to five, it seems Iike.

What about the appeaI?

Lost the appeaI. Lost the motion for reconsideration.

Gotta surrender up there for execution of sentence in a week or two.

[ ExhaIes DeepIy ] Shit.

The oId Iady's gotta go on weIfare.

How wouId you Iike that? Your wife and kids have to go on weIfare, Iike niggers.

DiIIon, you gotta do something for me.

- I do what I can. - l stood up.

You're a stand-up guy.

Christ, I wish I never did that job for ya.

l wish it never happened. But that don't help.

It Iooked Iike a pipe. You know that. You toId me yourseIf.

You toId me you needed dough. You got the money up front.

Yeah.

The whoIe town's buttoned up on this, uh, grand jury anyway.

I never seen things so quiet.

There's nothing much going on.

[ ChuckIes ] You guys must have taken up circIe jerks or somethin'.

They ought to run one of these grand juries every three weeks or so.

It sure puts you guys in the cIoset.

- Fuck you. - [ ChuckIes ]

By the end of the week, Artie Van's gonna be...

seIIing papers or shining shoes or somethin'.

- He oughta get unempIoyment. - Cut it out.

AII right. That was a cheap shot. I apoIogize.

- But there isn't anything going on. - [ Church Bells Chiming ]

There's something goin' on.

A bunch of the boys getting together, watch dirty movies?

Hmm. [ CIicks Tongue ]

To teII you the truth - [ Sighs ]

I don't know what it is.

PeopIe are trying to sort of avoid me.

You know?

Guys teIephoning for guys that aren't there.

Here's 20.

Who's caIIing up?

Remember Eddie Fingers?

FeIIa that got his hand busted up.

- Who's he Iooking for? - Jimmy ScaIise. Do you know him?

Last time I heard he was in FIorida, getting some sun.

- Does he find him? - I don't know.

- I'm just a messenger boy. - They give you numbers.

TeIephone numbers.

I'm a Iaw-abiding citizen. I got a Iiquor Iicense.

Ah, you work for a guy that's got a Iiquor Iicense. Ever see him?

You're a convicted feIon.

Like I say, I work for a guy got a Iiquor Iicense. I forget sometimes.

- Want to forget this? - I'd just as soon.

You ought to get yourseIf a car.

I don't drive.

If I couId afford a car, I wouIdn't be taking 20 a week from you.

Have a nice day.

[ Dog Barking In Distance ]

Mr. Partridge.

We are going to your bank. You and I and my friend.

My other friend wiII stay here with your wife and chiIdren...

Now, you do what your mommy teIIs you.

It'II be aII right.

They don't want to hurt us.

We don't get any kicks from hurting peopIe.

Nobody does anything siIIy...

Give him your car keys.

Let's go to the bank, Mr. Partridge.

You sIeep Iate, Mr. Partridge.

I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you.

You're probabIy a brave man. Don't try to prove it.

We don't pIan to hurt you or anyone eIse...

unIess you make us, or somebody fucks up.

Now, sit down on the floor of the car.

[ Engine Starts ]

Go.

I'm going to take off your bIindfoId, Mr. Partridge...

and then you get sitting up.

Mr. Partridge...

do you see the man in that phone booth?

[ Partridge ] Yes.

When he gives me the signaI, I'lI know he's made contact with our friend at your home.

You wiII then waIk to the front door of your bank...

Then you wiII open the back door and Iet us in.

If that door is not open in exactIy one minute after you've entered the bank...

and we wiII Ieave immediateIy in a car you've never seen.

- Do you understand? - Yes, I understand.

Okay. Go ahead.

[ Ticking ]

- Back up so we can see the door. - [ Engine Starts ]

[ Clock Ticking ]

Stay right where you are. Don't press no buttons.

CaIm down. Keep quiet. No one wiII get hurt.

Hey. Open the door.

[ Door Buzzes ]

Come on. Come on.

TeII 'em to sit down on the floor in front of the desk.

PIease sit down on the floor.

TeII 'em the rest.

When the time Iock on the vauIt opens...

these men wiII take what they came for.

I wiII Ieave with them. We wiII return to my house.

Keep on.

There is another man at my house with my famiIy.

They wilI pick him up and leave.

This man has toId me no one wiII be hurt ifno one interferes.

I have to beIieve him. So, everyone, pIease cooperate...

and don't set off any aIarms.

What time does it open?

8:48.

[ Horn Honks ln Distance ]

When the fuck does it open?

[ CIicks ]

- That's it. - Open it.

When you get it open, move towards the desk there...

so I can watch you and the rest of them at the same time.

[ Keys Clinking ]

You and I are going to go out and get in a car and go. TelI them what to do.

When these men Ieave...

get up and take your usuaI pIaces.

Open the doors. Draw the curtains.

Start to do business. You've got to give these men at least an hour.

For God sakes, give them the time.

[ Rattling ]

Okay. Let's go.

Put your hands on the seat and get yourseIf sitting up.

[ Door Closes ]

Come on.

I'm going to point you, and you'II start waIking.

You'II hear me get back in the car. You just keep waIkin'.

'Cause I've got the windows down and the guns on you.

Count to 1 00 very sIowIy. That's when you'II be safe.

Start waIkin', Mr. Partridge.

- [ Children Chattering ln Distance ] - [ Dog Barking In Distance ]

[ Horn Honks ]

[ Bus Door Opens ]

- Bye, Dad. - Bye-bye.

[ Children Chattering ]

- Bye. - Bye-bye.

You say anything to those kids this mornin'?

About what?

About that trouble up there.

Not at aII. Why wouId I?

Why?

WeII, I thought they acted kind of funny toward me this mornin'.

Oh. It's your imagination.

- What do you want for breakfast? - Nothin'.

I gotta go somewhere today, see a feIIa.

Goddamn Iawyer of mine.

That harpy's got oatmeaI for brains.

If I had time, I'd get somebody to draw up some papers for me.

You know. Incompetence of counseI.

WouIdn't Iet me take the stand.

I know a feIIa who can do that, but he's in the bucket.

My mother said she'd move in and take care of the kids, whiIe I work.

Work?

What are you taIking about, work?

You don't want us to go on weIfare, do you?

Hey, Iook. SheiIa, Iook. It's gonna be aII right up there in New Hampshire.

The feIIa I'm seeing today - he toId me he couId square it for me.

Then we'II get the heII out of here, okay?

I'm not compIaining.

Eddie.

Eddie!

It's morning! [ Laughs ]

[ Car Door Closes ]

[ Chain Saw Whirring ln Distance ]

That's a nice machine you got there.

- Anybody I know? - I don't think so.

FeIIa out in the western part of the state was using it to transport moon.

The poor bastard. Paid cash for it, got hooked on his first trip.

WeII, they get away with it sometimes.

- I didn't know that was in your Iine. - It isn't.

But, you know, you hear different things.

- PeopIe get careIess. - I know.

Like Iast week I heard you were coming up for sentencing in New Hampshire.

[ Eddie ] I thought you might Iike to go up there with me for the weekend.

You're, uh, stiII interested in machine guns, I suppose.

[ Man ] Oh, yes, indeed.

I've aIways had a strong interest in a machine gun or two.

[ Eddie ] That's what I said.

I said oId FoIey's reIiabIe. Never forgets his oId friends.

Just what oId friends, for exampIe?

WeII, I was thinking, for exampIe, that, uh, U.S. Attorney up in New Hampshire there.

You thought I might enjoy a chance to taIk to him?

Well, l figure it's worth tryin'.

WeII, it's a Iong way to go.

StiII, if I had a strong reason.

[ ExhaIes ] WeII, I got three kids and a wife at home there.

I just can't do any more time.

You know, the kids are growing up. They go to schooI, aII the other kids Iaugh at 'em.

WeII, heII, I'm aImost 51 years oId.

That's your strong reason. I need one for me.

What are they hoIding over you? About five years?

My Iawyer figures about two.

Oh, you'd do weII to get out with two.

You had about 200 cases of Canadian CIub on that truck...

the way I remember it, and none of it beIonged to you.

I keep teIIing you it was a mistake.

Well, you made that mistake before.

Look. There I am, minding my own business, getting aIong the best I couId.

A man caIIs me up, knows I'm out of work, asked me if I'd drive a truck for him.

I didn't know that man from BurIington from Adam.

Yeah, I can see how that wouId happen.

A man Iike you, Iives in Quincy, Mass....

must get a Iot of caIIs to drive a semi from BurIington to PortIand.

I'm surprised the jury didn't beIieve you.

Ah, that dopey Iawyer of mine wouIdn't Iet me take the stand.

Anyway, I was wondering if maybe there wasn't some way we couId handIe it.

Like me saying heIIo to somebody?

WeII, I was thinking a IittIe stronger than that. I was thinking in terms of, uh...

maybe you taIking to the prosecutor up there and having them drop a word to the judge...

how I been heIping my uncIe Iike a bastard.

[ ChuckIes ] WeII, I wouId, but then again, you haven't been.

What? I gave you a coupIe of caIIs.

[ ChuckIes ] Yeah. You give me some reaI stuff too.

You teII me about a guy that's gonna get hit. Fifteen minutes Iater, he gets hit.

You teII me about some guys and a job...

but you don't teII me tiII they're coming out the door with the money.

That's not heIping UncIe, Eddie.

You gotta put your whoIe souI into it.

HeII, the way I hear it, you're maybe mixed up in something that's going on.

- Like what? - Oh, well.

I wouIdn't want to confront a man with something I heard.

You know me better than that.

WeII, uh...

suppose we was to taIk about machine guns?

Just to change the subject?

WeII, suppose someone shouId put you onto somebody who was seIIing machine guns.

You wouIdn't want him to go to jaiI, wouId ya?

Somebody who was heIping you Iike that, you wouIdn't want him...

to go to jaiI and embarrass his kids and aII, wouId ya?

When's it supposed to come off?

How much you interested?

Let me put it this way.

If I was to get my hands on some machine guns and the feIIa that was seIIing 'em...

and whoever's buying 'em...

I wouIdn't mind saying to someone eIse that somebody was heIping UncIe.

Now, you need anything eIse?

I need a good Ieavin' aIone. That's what I need.

I don't want nobody foIIowing me around.

Okay. We'II do it your way.

You caII me when you get something, if you do.

And if I get somethin', I'II put it in front of the U.S. Attorney.

If I don't, aII bets are off.

Understood?

Have a nice day.

- You remember Eddie Fingers? Eddie CoyIe? - [ Phone Rings ]

- [ Chattering ] - The bank robber. The one from Natick.

Nah, that's his sidekick, Artie Van. Eddie doesn't rob banks.

They branch out. What about him?

I got this caII from CoyIe, so I went out to see him.

What'd he want?

He's coming up for sentencing in New Hampshire.

Wants some references. What's he got to trade?

He was offering to peddIe me this guy with machine guns.

That bastard. He's about this high in the bunch...

but he gets around more than any man I've ever seen.

One day he's here, the next day he's there. You'd think he was some fuckin' stray dog.

I just wish I had a Iine on haIf of what he was doin'.

Does he work anywhere?

Ah. He's a night expediter over at ArIiss Trucking.

But you just try to find him there. He works about as much as Santa CIaus.

[ Typing ]

My friend says CoyIe's been trying to Iook for, uh, ScaIise.

My friend runs a saIoon.

And I know he's got an undiscIosed interest.

And he knows I know.

- A strange guy. - [ Phone Rings ]

What do you hear about, uh, Artie Van and ScaIise?

Nothing together, no.

I wonder. Uh, you don't suppose that Artie and, uh, ScaIise...

made that withdrawaI from the bank, do you?

It's a thought. I wonder where Eddie fits in.

WelI, he's arming some wiseguys. He's done it before.

That friend of yours that runs the saIoon -

is that the same saIoon we taIked about putting a wire in a few weeks back?

- That's the one. - Okay. You write it up...

and I'II present it to the attorney.

Maybe we ought to taIk about it some more.

It's not gonna do you any good in your head.

- You wanted a wiretap. - By the time I get it written up, it'II aII be over with.

WeII, that's what you get when you get to be an expert, kid.

Or, uh, maybe you'd rather go back to the pussy posse?

[ Man ] Hey! You, man!

Are you seIIing somethin'?

- That depends. - Wait a minute.

Are you the guy?

No, I'm a narc.

Don't - Don't hassIe me, man. Are you the guy we're Iooking for?

It depends.

Depends upon what you're Iooking to do.

Wait a minute.

I don't know what he is. He might be a narc. I don't know what he is.

- [ Woman ] Ask him to come to the back door. - Sure, I'II ask him.

Hey, uh, come to the back door.

- [ Woman ] ls he comin'? - No, he ain't doin' nothin'.

- Who the fuck are you? - CooI it, man. This is Andrea.

I don't give a shit who she is.

Look. I understood there was gonna be somebody here...

that wanted to do some business.

- How do we know who you are? - You don't.

- Yeah, you couId be a cop. - I couId be J. Edgar Hoover. Now, what the heII do you want?

We understood you couId get us some machine guns.

Hey, Iook. You - You want to burn your fuckin' bra, aII right...

but what you gonna do with a machine gun?

We're gonna rob a fuckin' bank.

I can get you five machine guns by Friday.

M16s. $350 apiece. You want ammo, it's extra.

How much extra? $250 for 500 rounds.

That's $2,000.

I make that.

Be here Friday night with the stuff.

HaIf now. A grand in advance. Machine guns are a hot item.

I don't Iike that.

I don't give a good damn what you Iike.

Look, I got two probIems seIIing machine guns to peopIe Iike you.

The first is seIIing machine guns. That's Iife in this state.

The second is seIIing to peopIe Iike you. You're not honest.

You know where I'm gonna be and what time, I'm IiabIe to Iose my machine guns.

Give him a thousand doIIars, Pete.

You show up with no money...

no guns.

And keep this in mind:

I got more than five machine guns...

and the rest are gonna be pointed at you.

Bastard. Fucking bastard.

Life's hard, Iover. Life's very hard.

Why the heII didn't you wake me up?

Yesterday I got you up, and you gave me heII for not Ietting you sIeep.

Today I Iet you sIeep, and now you're giving me heII for not getting you up.

WeII, I gotta make some caIIs.

I know. I know.

"Go upstairs. I have to make some caIIs."

You know, sometimes I think I'm married to the president or something.

It won't take Iong. I just gotta do this.

CaII the president. CaII the pope.

[ Man On P.A. ] Barry, check aisle seven.

[ Pool Balls Clack ]

[ Bowling Balls Rattling ]

Hey.

You owe me 1 0 more guns. I need 'em fast. When do I get 'em?

I don't know.

Look. I got you the first batch when I said, and I was ahead on the dozen.

- You know, these things take time. - Time is what I haven't got.

I'm getting pressure. I gotta see The Man tomorrow night. I need those guns.

I can't get 'em for you by tomorrow night.

Son of a bitch. I gotta have that stuff fast.

I got a Iong ride to make tomorrow night. Maybe you can stop with me when I make it.

No way. No way, no day, no can do.

Look. I toId you. I get quaIity. These things take time.

Tomorrow night.

You aren't buyin' a Ioaf of bread, you know.

I got a thing set up that works pretty good.

DependabIe stuff that's not gonna get anybody in troubIe.

I'm not gonna screw it up just because your peopIe got hot drawers.

- You'II have to teII 'em that. - You teII 'em.

Look. The stuff'II come. What's the big emergency?

Look. One of the first things I Iearned is never to ask a man why he's in a hurry.

AII you got to know is I toId a man that he couId depend on me...

because you toId me I couId depend on you.

Now, one of us is gonna have a big, fat probIem.

Another thing I Iearned.

If anybody's gonna have a probIem, you're gonna be the one.

- You finished? - No, I am not finished.

Look, I'm gettin' oId. You hear?

I spend most of my Iife hanging around crummy joints...

with a bunch of punks, drinking their beer, eating the hash and the hot dogs...

and watching the other peopIe go off to FIorida...

whiIe I'm sweatin' out how I'm gonna pay the pIumber.

I done time when I stood up, but I can't take no more chances.

Next time, it's gonna be me going to FIorida.

Now you Iisten. You're stiII a kid.

Then you come out, and you go around and say, "Look, I'm a man.

"You can take what I say, and it happens.

I go through."

WeII, you're Iearning something too, my friend...

and I advise you to Iearn it right now.

When you say that, when you get me out there aII by myseIf...

on what you say, you better be right there in back of me...

because when you say it happens, it's gonna fuckin' happen.

- If it don't, you got your thing caught in the zipper. - Now, just -

Now, I don't want any taIk from you and any shit from you.

I want 1 0 guns. I want 'em tomorrow night.

I'II be right there with the money. Same pIace where we were before.

I'II be there with the money. You be there with those goddamn guns...

because if you ain't...

I'II be Iookin' for ya, and I'II find ya too.

Because I ain't the onIy one that's gonna be Iookin' for ya...

and we know how to find peopIe.

AII right. Uh -

Look. I have to go to Rhode IsIand tonight, and I'm gonna be back Iate.

Then I gotta see some peopIe Iate tomorrow afternoon.

C-Can I meet you somepIace earIy where I can get free by, Iet's say, uh, uh, 3:00?

'Cause Iisten, man. You're coming up faster than we said, you know...

and - and I got other peopIe to see too.

Tomorrow afternoon's okay?

Yeah.

Look. Have the money, huh? Uh...

No sweat. I'II have the money. No sweat.

[ Man ] You better kick it aIong, huh?

Listen. I've been on the road aII fuckin' day, one thing or another...

and by the time I get home tonight, it's gonna be morning.

So just stay off of my ass, huh?

I aIways wanted to see how much one of these things couId do.

You get the Magnum miII?

No, I got the Hemi. 383 Hemi.

You can have one too, you know.

Just get me, say, another, uh, 25, 30 of those M16s.

Where the fuck you taking me?

Take a Ieft. You go a hundred yards or so, there's a cIearing.

They're aII there.

You gotta go up the hiII.

Get out.

No. Go up the hiII.

I said get out.

[ Door Opens ]

[ Water Rushing ]

Now you go up there, and you get your friends and the rifles...

and you come back down here and we'II do business.

- Here. Not there. - Why?

Because I think you need the exercise.

'Cause l like the moonlight.

And 'cause I'm not so fuckin' stupid as to drive this car into the woods...

to find two other guys with machine guns who know I got money.

This Iife's hard, man, but it's harder if you're stupid.

Now go up there, and I'lI stay down here, and I'm gonna be watchin'.

When you get down here, I'lI telI you what to do next. Now move.

[ Man ] I don't know. I can't see.

Hmm.

PIenty coId out here. Been waiting a Iong time.

Shh.

That's it! Far enough!

You two there hand the rifles to the kid that was with me.

Then stand stiII.

Now get your ass down here.

Put the rifles in the trunk and shut it.

Shut the goddamn trunk. HoId it!

I got a .45 on ya.

Now, where's the ammo?

Uh, yeah, we couIdn't get no ammo.

You can steaI the goddamn guns out of the stores...

but you can't get any buIIets?

Look, we'II get it for you. Honest.

The kid who was supposed to get it got sick. He wasn't on duty when it came up.

We're not gonna trust just anybody, you know.

AII right.

I'm gonna be nice to ya.

I reaIIy oughta keep some of this back...

for you putting me in the ditch with the ammo, but -

Fuck it. My probIem is, I'm a nice guy.

When you get that stuff, you caII me. You hear?

Yeah, okay, Thanks, huh?

Thanks a Iot.

- [ Car Door Closes ] - Come on. Let's go.

[ DoorbelI Rings ]

- Come in, Nancy. - Vern.

- Stay cooI. We're being robbed. - You're kidding me.

- No. - They're reaIIy here?

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God. - Get to work, sweetie.

You too, Iover.

Nice piece of ass. You ripping off some of that?

Oh, just get the heII over there. I don't care what the heII you're doing.

[ Vault Lock Clicks ]

May I have your attention?

I want to remind you not to attempt anything courageous or foolish.

It would come to the same thing.

I want you to remember that these men have someone at my house...

and they say he'll kill my wife ifanything goes wrong.

I beIieve them.

It's not at aII unusuaI.

I've been heId up four times in 36 years...

and I can telI you the important thing is not to panic...

and not to try to resist.

[ Robber] That's right. No one wilI get hurt.

Keep the shades drawn untiI 9:1 5.

Then Iet the peopIe in.

[ Robber] Tell 'em the rest, quick.

[ Bank Manager] lfanyone wants a large amount ofcurrency...

teII them the time Iock is stuck...

and I've gone to get assistance.

- Is that cIear? - Okay, Iet's go.

What did you do? l said, what did you do?

- Nothing. Honest, I - - You hit the aIarm! I toId you not to, and you did it!

[ Screams ]

The rest of you, get in the vauIt!

Get in the goddamn vauIt!

Get in the fuckin' vauIt!

Jesus! For Christ's sake, bingo!

[ No AudibIe DiaIogue ]

[ Tires Squealing ]

Christ, Artie, what happened?

Ah, somebody got stupid, and somebody got nervous and shot him.

- Jesus. - Ah, that's the way it goes.

They'II have everybody there - the F.B.I., everybody.

Not on that bank. No federaI insurance. S.P. onIy. We're okay.

I don't know. Geez, I don't know.

- When do you have to see The Man? - In a whiIe.

Okay.

Make sure it's right.

You guys gonna go again?

WeII, we taIked about it. We can make one more move.

Oh, geez, I don't know about that.

You just get the guns.

Next week, I'm goin' south.

Get some carameI candy.

Fuck you. You know where I'm goin'.

Hey, I tried to teII you, but you didn't Iisten.

- Looked Iike a pipe, Artie. - You didn't Iisten.

You wanna set up a hit, then DiIIon's your man.

But he was eight minutes behind in that truck.

Ah, it's too Iate now.

Yeah, it Iooks Iike it.

Hey, you just get the guns to ScaI.

Yeah.

There's this truck. It bothers me.

I know it sounds funny because I suppose you wouId think that what wouId be worrying me...

wouId be the guys in the truck...

or maybe some guy I don't even know watching me pretty cIose in the bar or something.

But I have seen the truck.

Put two guys in that truck, they couId get the pope.

The onIy time I see an engine Iike that is in a CadiIIac.

So you know you aren't gonna run away 'cause that thing's gonna run right away with ya.

In the windshieId they got a crack on the passenger side.

You open it right up, you stick a deer rifle out there.

Now you're on the Mystic Bridge, that thing wheeIs up behind ya...

the windshieId's opening up and I ask ya, what are you gonna do now?

You're gonna make a good Act of Contrition is what you're gonna do.

I mean, sure, I don't drive.

The onIy time I'm on that bridge is coming home from the track on the bus.

Do you see what I'm gettin' at?

I know these guys.

They're serious. I know them very weII.

They got a truck for guys that drive cars...

and they got something eIse for guys that waIk, Iike me.

[ FoIey ] Okay, okay. Did I ever teII you we couId keep this neat and cIean?

- I ever give you that Iine of horseshit? - Nah, nah, nah, nah.

You been on the IeveI, I give you that.

UncIe wiII appreciate what you've given me.

Okay. You see what I mean?

You see the position I'm in?

Have a nice day.

[ Engine Off ]

[ Yawns ]

[ ExhaIes ]

- Where are they? - In the trunk.

Put the guns in the bag. Put the bags in the cart.

- Where's the money? - Right here. You wanna count it?

No time. l gotta be at the Sharon railroad station at 3:30. Let's get going.

Fine with me.

- What's in the bags? - Three of 'em are fiIIed with bread.

The others have got, uh, meat, potatoes, beer, vegetabIes, shit Iike that.

- What are you giving me? - The bread.

A man can aIways use a IittIe bread to feed the goddamn pigeons.

Go find yourseIf some squirreIs. SquirreIs Iove the bread.

You wife make you do the shopping too?

You haven't got too much time, and I'm in kind of a hurry myseIf.

I don't have the time to expIain married Iife to you...

and besides, if I did, you wouIdn't beIieve me anyway.

So Iet's just get down to business, huh?

[ Eddie ] Jesus Christ!

Don't get your bowels in an uproar. They're for somebody else.

Hurry up. Those Iook Iike fuckin' army guns to me.

Do you wanna see one?

Huh? No way. Just fiII up the bags and put a coupIe of Ioaves on top.

Okay, you got nine .38s here and one .357. Good stuff.

Hope you appreciate what I did for ya.

My friend, your name is in that great goIden book in the sky.

I'II be in touch.

[ Dialing ]

HeIIo. FoIey there?

Dave FoIey.

No, I don't care to give my name. Stop fartin' around and get me FoIey.

We couId take him now.

We couId.

We couId aIso do what we're supposed to do, which is wait and see who comes to pick up the stuff.

Let's go. Give me that paper.

This is Sauter. I'm in position.

I can't see FoIey from here.

I can.

[ Train Whistle BIowing ]

[ Engine Off ]

- Recognize 'em? - [ Sauter] Nah, they look harmless to me.

[ Foley] They're after machine guns, remember?

- Yeah? - I hate to bother you, man...

but don't we have some kind of an agreement and aII?

Yeah.

WeII?

WeII what?

WeII, Christ, are we gonna do somethin'?

Sure.

Quit pIaying games. What the heII's going on here?

- This some kind ofjoke? - No, ma'am.

I pIan on sitting here for about two hours...

and in the meantime if every car that I saw when I came in here doesn't Ieave, then I'II know it.

- Around 5:30 l'll know ifyou're trying to tip me in. - Oh, Iook, man!

Hey, if you're aII right, we'II go where I teII ya...

I'II give you some machine guns, you give me some money, and that'II be that.

This is a trick.

You think so?

The money, man. Give us back the money.

Fuck you.

Hey, you made a deaI, man. You wanna back out, back out.

But, uh, no refunds.

Leave it, Pete.

Let's get something to eat.

[ Engine Starts ]

Damn.

[ Sauter] Maybe they'll come down back ofhis car.

- Think quick. ls there anything we can bust 'em under? - [ Foley] No, not a goddamn thing.

So we got two possibiIities.

He's stiII here. We can wait and bust him if he tries to Ieave.

Or we can wait and maybe bust 'em aII if they come back.

[ Foley] Or they come back and go someplace else and we lose 'em in the traffic.

- [ Sauter] What do we do? - Let me think.

It's your party.

We take him.

[ Engine Starts ]

[ Tires Squealing ]

United States Treasury. Move, and you're a fuckin' dead man.

Get out of the car, and keep your hands in pIain sight.

Get out!

- [ Groaning ] - Put your hands on top of the car.

You're under arrest for vioIation of federaI Iaw.

TeII him we got the man where he was supposed to be...

and we need a warrant to search the car.

You don't have to answer any questions.

If you answer any questions, your answers may be used against you in a court of Iaw.

- Do you understand what I have read to you? - You knew it. You knew it!

Sure.

Oh, that fuckin' bastard.

That fuckin' bastard!

What fuckin' bastard? Huh?

Oh, no.

I'II take care of that myseIf.

WeII? How'd it come out?

It went fine. Just fine. He had five M16s, just Iike you said.

Now, that does it, huh?

- Does what? - You know.

You said you wanted a reason.

That thing we taIked about. That thing up in New Hampshire there.

You said you needed a reason.

Oh, that.

WeII, you gonna go up there with me and teII 'em what a nice guy I am?

That truck thing - the booze.

Hey, Dave, come on. Don't jerk my chain, okay?

- [ Waitress ] Here, sir. - You know what I'm taIking about.

How far you gonna go for me?

I aIready made the caII.

I caIIed the U.S. Attorney up there...

and toId him you were instrumentaI in bringing about a major arrest.

That's right. That's it.

And he said -

He's pretty mean, that guy up there.

He said, "weII, that's a start anyway."

What does that mean?

WeII, he asked, "Is he working on anything eIse for you?

I'd Iike it better," he said, "if he was working on something eIse for you."

- Something eIse? - You know how it is, Eddie.

I mean, it's one thing to just go and trade one guy for another one...

but when you got a guy that's joined up that's gonna keep on sending you more stuff -

- That's shit. - [ ChuckIes ] Look at it his way.

- The man's from a different district. - Shit. Shit.

His guys grabbed you fair and square...

and you wouIdn't pIead out on 'em.

You made 'em go through a triaI.

You wouIdn't pIay baII.

He wanted me to cop out on the guys that stoIe the stuff.

WeII, you can't bIame him for that, now, can you?

And you wouIdn't teII him. So he convicted you, and now he's got you in the box.

And somebody from a different district caIIs up and says...

"Hey, CoyIe did me a favor. Leave him go."

It's onIy naturaI a man's gonna ask, "weII, what did he do for me?"

Look, I can't give him that man he wants up in New Hampshire.

If I did, I'm dead. That's aII there is to it.

He can't ask me to waIk out and commit suicide for him.

He's not asking you for anything.

- I gave you the guns. - It was your idea.

Oh, no. You said it first.

You said you wanted a reason. I gave you a reason.

And I went through - I made the caII. You just don't Iike what the caII got you.

I can't heIp that, Eddie.

So, what do you want, goddamn it?

The man up there, he said he'd Iike it better if he couId go in to the judge and teII him...

that you'd made one good case for UncIe and you were working on some others.

It'd show you'd rehabiIitated yourseIf.

You're teIIing me to turn permanent fink.

Permanent goddamn fink.

You don't have to do anything you don't want to...

except be in federaI district court in New Hampshire...

for disposition on a charge of stoIen goods.

Whatever eIse you do is because you want to.

That ain't right, Dave. That ain't right. You set me up.

Look, Eddie...

go somepIace and have yourseIf a gIass of beer...

and have a Iong taIk with yourseIf.

The onIy one fuckin' Eddie CoyIe is Eddie CoyIe.

You wanted a caII. I made the caII.

You gave me a grab to make the caII.

You want something eIse, you gotta start thinking about how to get that.

I can certainIy understand a man that don't wanna rat on his friends...

but you gotta understand the position I'm in.

AII I can give ya is what I teII ya I can give ya, and I gave you that.

What you do next is entireIy up to you.

[ Sighs ] I shouId have known better than to trust a cop.

My own goddamn mother couId have toId me that.

Everybody ought to Iisten to his mother.

[ Rock, Faint ]

- [ Baby Crying ] - [ Rock Continues ]

[ DoorbelI Rings ]

Yes?

I, uh, brought some groceries for ScaIise.

- Is he expecting you? - WeII, he asked me to come up here and aII.

I just drove about two hours. I hope so.

Just a minute.

- [ Scalise ] Who is it? - It's me. CoyIe.

I brought the groceries.

Hey, Eddie. Okay, bring it in.

I'd heIp you, but I'd freeze my ass off.

That's okay.

- [ Rock Continues ] - [ Man ] Johnny! Hey, Johnny!

- Come on in, Eddie. - [ Stops ]

This is Wanda. Wanda, meet Eddie.

- Hi, Eddie. - Hi.

TeII him what you do, honey.

You teII him.

She's a stewardess.

- No kidding. - [ Wanda GiggIes ]

Get the man a beer. Come on.

- They Iook pretty good. - Ought to.

Had to go 80 apiece for 'em.

I got five Smiths, two Lugers...

a .357 Mag.

You can hoId up a bank with that thing aII by yourseIf.

Hey, this is okay.

I been on ice a coupIe of times myseIf, you know, but, uh, never this nice.

I'm not on ice.

I rent this pIace from a buIIdozer driver. You know, seasonaI work.

The owner understands. Thinks I'm the greatest thing since sIiced bread.

Hey, uh, that's pretty nice in there too.

- Oh, her? - Yeah.

It's very warm down here. She don't wear no pants.

Every now and then I just reach down here, she comes off Iike she's on eIectricity.

- Oh, Jesus. - It's a great Iife if you don't weaken.

A great Iife. Come on in.

That's pretty nice meat you brought.

Hey, thanks. What do I owe ya?

AII toId it comes to, uh...

$4,500.

- Sit down. - My God. That's a lot ofmoney for some meat.

- The money - What'd you say it was? - 4,500.

Hey, uh, Jimmy, you gonna need any more guns?

I couId use anything you can get.

We're gonna need at Ieast five Monday, maybe more to do the job right.

I Iike to have a coupIe extras in the car...

so if I gotta use one on the job I can wipe it off and heave it down the river.

Everything goes right, we'II probabIy be dumping the whoIe eight Monday night.

[ Sighs ] You know when you're gonna need 'em?

[ ExhaIes ] I'II give you a caII. You can come and meet me.

When I caII you I'II teII you where I'm gonna be.

You gonna be around?

I got that thing coming up in New Hampshire, you know.

I hope you're aII right.

Me too, ScaI.

Me too.

[ Engine Starts ]

Okay?

- No taiIs or anything? - We were alone all the way from Fall River.

lf they're watching us, they're doing it from an airplane.

- What was it with DiIIon? - He's worried about CoyIe.

[ Artie ] He thinks maybe Coyle is swapping us for that thing he's got going in New Hampshire.

- You think so? - No way. AII he knew was we wanted guns.

What couId he teII 'em? He don't know where we've been tiII we've been there.

- There's no way CoyIe couId set us up. - From what I know, CoyIe's a stand-up guy.

- You're sure no one taiIed you? - No one.

- This WayIon got any kids? - Grown up and moved away.

Just him and his wife. Nice Iady.

She'll probably fix you breakfast while you're waiting for us.

[ Waylon ] Martha, are you coming?

[ Martha ] I'm coming, I'm coming.

[ Waylon ] Hurry, because I'lI be late.

- [ Whispering ] Two of 'em. - [ Waylon ] Big meeting today.

[ ScaIise Whispering ] BeautifuI. Mom and Dad coming down together.

[ Waylon, Martha Talking, Indistinct ]

- ApriI fooI, motherfuckers. - [ Thumping, Clattering ]

Drop it.

[ Guns Landing On Floor]

[ Patrons Chattering ]

[ Man ] Let me have another beer.

Uh, straight bourbon.

[ Coins Landing On Bar]

[ Cash Register Bell Dings ]

I, uh - I thought about it, what we were saying...

and, uh, I'm ready to deaI with ya.

It's your decision, Eddie.

It's my decision, but I don't want no surprises.

I gotta know just how far you'II go for me.

That depends on how far you go for me. You know that.

Okay.

WeII, if I give you this, I can't do no time.

These guys have got friends, you know, and I wouIdn't Iive to get out.

WeII, we can take care of you.

Okay.

Now, uh, suppose I was to go out west - Arizona, for instance.

You'd have to fix me up with a new identity and aII that.

You know what I mean. You do it aII the time.

It's been done, but I can't guarantee it.

AII I can promise, in aII honesty...

is to carry the baII for you as best I can...

but you've gotta make it good.

You don't make it much of a proposition.

It's your proposition, Eddie.

I'm just here to Iisten.

And so far you haven't toId me anything.

Suppose I was to give you those guys been knockin' off the banks.

- Eddie - - How far wouId you go for that?

[ ChuckIes ] Last night I wouId've gone the distance, Eddie, but that was Iast night.

I guess you haven't seen the paper.

You're too Iate, Eddie. It aII happened without you.

I was wondering if you couId handIe something for us.

More than IikeIy. Depends, I suppose, but more than IikeIy.

This is pretty important. That's why we got in touch with you.

Somebody have a probIem?

Jimmy ScaI, Artie VaIentropo, Fritzie Webber and PhiI Kenney.

They got bagged in a house up in MiIton there.

- Murder one. Hearing this afternoon. - I warned 'em.

- Who? Warned who? - Jimmy ScaI.

Picked up on something the other day. This guy, uh - guy we know, me and ScaI.

He's up for sentencing. It's aImost a mandatory, you know.

Name of CoyIe, isn't it?

I had him driving a truck for me and a feIIow up there in New Hampshire...

and he got hooked, which is why he's coming up.

[ ChuckIes ] I was figurin' he was thinkin' about dumpin' me.

He wouIdn't do that unIess he took out a wiII.

So he dumped on Jimmy and Artie, the bastard.

ScaI gave his Iawyer that name CoyIe to give to The Man.

CoyIe. Eddie Fingers, right?

Do you want him hit?

The Man wants him hit.

Tonight.

[ ChuckIes ]

I, uh -

I can't do it tonight.

You see, for Christ's sake, this takes a IittIe whiIe, you know.

I mean, I gotta Iine things up - a car and a pIace and a driver.

The Man says tonight.

When I hit somebody I do it right...

not Iike some goddamn kid found his girI fuckin' somebody eIse.

- But he says tonight. - He says, he says!

- Five grand in front. - You'II get it when you do the job.

Want me to make a hit on the cuff?

Look, that's not the way it happens.

The Man knows that, and I'm beginning to wonder if he sent you.

- Now, Iook - - "Now, Iook" nothing.

I treat a man with respect, I expect to be treated with a IittIe respect.

The Man knows how I work, what I do. That's why he wants me.

I done the PoIack and Jimmy the WhaIe. So he knows what I do.

So he knows with me it's strictIy cash in advance.

No money, no hit.

- No credit cards whatsoever. - The Man isn't gonna Iike that.

Look, he came Iooking for me.

Now, I had some hard things The Man asked me to do, and I did them.

Nobody got hurt but the guy that was supposed to get hurt...

and nobody on anything I ever did ended up on death row...

which is more than I can say for some I know.

He knows you're good.

Okay. I'II be at my pIace.

We do this thing, we do it the right way. AII right?

I'II teII him how you feeI.

- [ Car Door CIoses ] - [ Engine Starts ]

[ Cash Register Bell Dings ]

- Thanks, DiIIon. - See ya.

You makin' any money?

Not exactIy.

If you were to ask me, I'd have to teII you I'm not having a very good day.

Why is that?

You heard about what happened over in RandoIph there?

Aw, that was a rough thing.

Yeah, but this is the end of Artie Van, and Jimmy too, for that matter.

I Iook at it phiIosophicaIIy.

You win some, you Iose some. Right?

They made, what? A quarter of a miI in a month?

You're gonna get the fuzz mad. And they kiIIed those two guys, right?

Somebody set them up.

The cops were waitin' for 'em right there in the house.

Somebody set them up. I'd Iike to know who that was.

Yeah, I imagine they wouId too.

l know Jimmy Scal good. Oh, hell, you know that.

Hate to see Jimmy take this one. He's in forever.

Look, I stiII say they knew what they were getting into.

Did anybody feeI sorry for you?

No. You got a Iot of fuckin' nerve asking me that.

You went through, didn't ya? You didn't throw somebody eIse in. You were a big boy.

You gotta have respect for them. They're big boys too.

- Yeah. - [ Phone Ringing ]

WeII, I'm aII wrapped up now.

WeII, you get probabIy two years...

and you do eight months.

That's a third.

That's no sweat.

It's for you, DiIIon.

Don't take it so goddamn serious.

Yeah?

Yeah, I know who this is.

It's a funny thing. He's in here right now.

Put on a big performance how sorry he is, how pissed off he is they got set up.

It's aImost enough to make me mad.

Enough of that.

You get somebody up here this afternoon with an enveIope.

Or maybe tonight.

You get the enveIope here, I'II see what I can do.

That was a friend of mine. CaIIs to teII me he can't go to the Bruins tonight.

So, uh, why don't you forget your troubIes and come to the game with me, huh?

We'II have a IittIe dinner. I'II take the night off, we'II see a good game.

BIackhawks. What do you say?

Sounds good.

So, uh, come back around 6:00 or so.

I'd say stay, but, uh, the way you're going...

you might not be able to see the game or anything, you stay.

We'II have a IittIe wine, good steak. Then we go to the game.

Right. You're right.

Look, I got a few things to do. I'II catch you back here about 6:00. Okay?

Okay.

- [ Cheering, Shouting ] - [ Whistle Blows ]

[ Woman ] Get that son ofa bitch!

[ Organ: "Charge" ]

Hey!

[ Siren Wailing ]

Can't understand where that kid is.

That friend I was teIIing you about, he gave me both his tickets.

So I invited my wife's nephew.

I can't understand where he is. He Ioves hockey, that kid.

- Great game. - Great game.

[ Sighs ]

- You want some more? - I'II get it.

Excuse me.

Pardon me.

[ Whistle Blows ]

[ Woman ] Get him!

- That's his. - Where is he?

He's gone for beers.

Jesus Christ, man. What'd you bring him here for?

Because he's too smart to come out for any other kind of party.

Because there's 1 5,000 peopIe here Iooking at the Bruins and they don't give a fuck about us.

Now get the fuck out of his seat.

[ Organ: Charge ]

- When you piss, you piss. - That's beer, goddamn it.

It's hard to carry beer in a crowd Iike this. Did you ever try it?

[ Eddie ] Imagine being a kid like that.

What is he, 24 or somethin'?

Greatest hockey pIayer in the worId.

Number four! Bobby Orr!

[ Eddie ] Jesus, what a future he's got, huh?

- [ Man Shouting ] That's right! Get 'im! - [ WhistIe BIowing ]

- SIam 'im! - Come on!

- Knock 'im out! - Yeah!

[ Announcer] Penalty for high sticking.

Number 1 1, two minutes, for high sticking.

Hey, I forgot to teII you, I got some girIs.

Oh, I don't know, man. It's pretty Iate.

Come on! Let's make a night of it.

Hey, I can't, man. I gotta go home. I gotta get the car back.

WeII, where's your car?

South - South End. I, uh -

I was there, and I took a troIIey over to your pIace.

I ne - Just never got back for it.

Shit. And, you know, there's, uh, these girIs. They're absoIuteIy aII right.

But there's no way. I mean, they're in BrookIine.

Hey, Iook, I couId drive you there in the car and then go home.

But I can't hang around much, 'cause I got a test tomorrow.

Whatever's fair, you know.

- [ DiIIon ] Hey, Eddie. - Hmm?

- Eddie. - Yeah?

- You aII right? - [ Sighs ] BeautifuI.

BeautifuI.

- You gonna be abIe to drive? - Oh, yeah.

No sweat.

Hey, great game, huh?

Where do you want me to go?

Hey, Eddie, you teII him.

Where's your car?

- He's out. - Go around the Garden.

Head for the expressway going south in case he wakes up.

I know what's going on.

Good. I'm gIad to hear that.

You just drive. If I was you, I'd drive to Quincy...

pick roads where I couId go pretty fast without making anyone Iook suspicious...

and come out on Morrissey BouIevard.

I'd Iook for a bIue GaIaxy in the parking Iot of the ChaIet Swiss bowIing aIIeys.

Somebody said something about some money.

If I was you, I'd Iook hard for that GaIaxy.

Drive that GaIaxy back to Boston, you Iet me off.

If I was you, I'd Iook in the gIove compartment of that car...

before dropping it off in the nigger district.

Jesus!

[ Tires Squealing ]

Jesus Christ. Hey, sIow down, you stupid shit. You wanna get arrested or somethin'?

I got nervous. Jesus Christ, that was loud.

- That's why I used a .22. - Yeah? That was loud enough.

I ever Iet off a .38 two-incher in here, you'd go right off the road.

- Is he dead? - lfhe's not now, he's never gonna be.

Now sIow down and get off this road.

This car Iooks a Iot Iike the other one in this Iight.

[ DiIIon ] That's the idea. Now you're Iearnin'.

The cops have been Iooking at that car aII night. Now they see one Iooks just Iike it.

HeIp me stuff him down.

Yeah, they won't search that for a coupIe hours.

Hey, Iock it. Keeps the voIunteers out.

[ DiIIon Sighs ]

[ Kid ] Not a bad car.

[ DiIIon ] Take the MemoriaI Drive to the Mass Avenue Bridge.

I gotta get rid of this gun.

[ Engine Starts ]

I heard a guy on teIevision the other night, he was taIking about pigeons.

He caIIed them flying rats.

I thought that was pretty good.

What he had in mind, he was gonna give 'em the flu or something to make them extinct.

Now, uh, there was a guy that got shit on, probabIy got shit on again.

Then he got mad. They ruined his suit or somethin'.

So he's gonna spend the rest of his Iife getting even with pigeons 'cause they ruined a $400 suit.

Now, uh, there's no percentage in that...

because there are probabIy 1 0 miIIion pigeons in Boston aIone...

aII of them Iaying eggs every day...

which generaIIy produce more pigeons...

aII, uh, dropping tons and tons of shit every day, rain or shine.

[ ChuckIes ] And this guy in New York, he's gonna, weII -

There just aren't gonna be any more of them in this worId.

Yeah, a man gets desperate.

He does a few things, he knows it won't work.

Pretty soon he quits, packs it aII in, goes away somepIace.

It's the onIy way there is.

Okay, you gave us ScaIise, and we're gratefuI.

You can't taIk about CoyIe, you can't taIk about CoyIe. It's aII right.

- Thanks. - Screw.

We've been friends a Iong time now.

I never asked a friend yet to do somethin' he reaIIy couIdn't do, I knew he couIdn't do it.

Have a nice day.
