[MISC CONVERSATIONS]

He's just trying to help you here, Jakey.

That's all, your tie was all screwed up.

Most of you are too young to remember, but when I was

little my old man used to take me on the collections.

I remember like it was yesterday.

Yeah, now in those days most of the people, they didn't

know what protection was.

So, we had to explain to them, huh Tony?

The hard way.

Hey, Uncle Jakey, who is the new guy with the really

snazzy suit?

He's the guy from down the block.

He cleaned the Don's jacket.

Remember the blood stains from the other night at Mario's.

The Crevellos made the mistake of trying to talk to the Don

at a very inappropriate time.

When was that?

When he was eating?

What are they stupid?

They've got to be a bunch of dingbats.

I thought lunch was this little meal

in the middle of the day.

We've been here for 3 hours.

They keep bringing him plates of food.

What are you crazy?

[Italian phrase] you don't talk about the Don like that

you'll get me wacked.

Go do your hair.

I'd like to make a toast.

To the Don.

I'd like to just express my gratitude for the hospitality.

Salute.

Salute.

Hey. That was nice, huh.

Salute

Oh, hey!

Oh, jeez you scared the crap out of me .

I thought she was going to shoot him.

I shoot her later on tonight.

You did a beautiful job on the jacket.

I mean you can't even see where the blood was, you know?

You know, boss, when I shot him he was still standing.

So I figured I'd shoot him in the leg and this way he would

fall away from you like a tree.

But I shot him in the wrong leg.

He shot the wrong leg.

That's one eyed Vinnie we call him.

We'll put a patch on him.

Oh, hey nobody's perfect.

Ah!

Oh, no she did it again.

How can I help?

Oh my boss is all over you again.

What are you kidding?

Mike?

Mike?

Oh.

Mike?

Mike?

Come on.

You've got to get to the store early today, remember?

- Mr. Bozelli's suit? - Oh, yeah the store.

Come on, we have coffee in the kitchen.

Okay, now don't go back to bed.

Look it's such a lovely day.

- Come on. - Okay. I'm coming.

It's late.

I know, okay.

If only, make him a suit.

It's only a dream.

[RADIO PLAYING OPERA]

Well, at least he has good taste in music, even if the

butcher dresses better than that fat slob.

Can you get the coffee?

You're going to be late.

Morning honey.

Hi honey.

Just a cup before I go.

Hey, hey, hey cutie.

How are you?

Thank you, mom.

You know, Lill, if I could make just one suit for Fat

Piano then ...

"I'd be on easy street!"

no because listen I don't want to just clean them.

I want to make them.

Put those peas back on her plate.

All right eat those peas.

Eat the peas.

Eat the peas.

Here.

What's with the peas?

Hey, Sammy!

What are you doing down there?

I'm waiting for Pop.

I've got coffee up here for you.

We've got to go to work, Ma.

You can't start your day without it.

Get up here.

No. Really, I've got to go anyway.

He's at it again.

Look, I found them in the pocket of his jacket.

Dammit.

can I come?

No, you're little.

It's going to be okay.

Good morning.

Morning.

Oh, here honey.

Morning.

Here, take your coffee.

Take your coffee.

Hey, Mike?

Didn't you go to school with the Don Piano?

Wouldn't that count for anything?

That was 100 years ago.

He's not going to remember me.

You never know.

I think a nice shiny sharkskin finish.

Look, come on, if you get in with the Don maybe you could

put a good word in for me.

There's no glory in being with the mob.

These guys are bums I'm telling you.

There's no glory in

making a suit for that fat slob Piano either.

You want to make the suit.

We need the money.

We all need the money, Pop.

That's what this is about.

Come on, Pop. We've got to go.

All right, and by the way dead people need clothes too.

That's right.

You tell him, honey.

So?

What's that, Pop?

You at it again?

I thought you said you were going to quit?

Where'd you get these stubs?

Your wife gave them to me.

Sammy, you don't know anything about this

so mind your own business.

Someday you'll understand.

Drive.

*

Sammy!

Sammy, come here!

What, Pop?

What do you want?

I want you to learn the business so you can take over for

me like I did for my father.

Maybe I'll take over for Fat Piano?

Then you can make me suits.

Don't get me started, all right?

First you get out of the Army

on a medical because of your feet.

Then you go to mortician school.

So, what?

I wanted to do something else.

Besides I thought you could

make suits for the front of them.

We could be a team.

I only make suits for live people.

It's not like they argue or change their mind.

So, now you want to be a big shot too?

You want to join the mob?

Oh.

You want to be in the mob too.

Don't tell me you don't.

No, I don't.

I want to make an honest living making clothes for them.

That's it.

Now, let me show you something.

After you put the pins in you start to stitch it.

What happened?

It's my arthritis.

It's killing me.

If I can't, if I can't stitch, if I can't sew

I can't make a living.

I can't put bread on the table.

That's why I started gambling again.

That's why.

I never noticed, Pop.

Your mother says she's going to leave me if I don't stop.

Where would I be if that happened?

Ah, listen we'll get some more work

but I need your help, son.

I can't do it myself.

I just, I need your help.

Okay, sonny?

All right.

Let me try, Pop.

All right I can do it.

Yeah, you can.

Let's see what I can do.

Try it.

All right, you do something else.

Use the machine okay.

Okay.

Thanks.

Love you, Pop.

Pop!

Yeah?

What do you think?

Not bad.

It looks good, looks good.

Good seam, huh?

Sit down and see if the stitches hold, all right?

Oh!

Oh, what'd you do?

You forgot to take the pins out.

That's all right.

You'll learn, you'll learn.

I took out, uh ...

Yeah, they're in there.

Believe me.

All right.

Get back to work.

*

Come on Jakey I just want to

take your niece out once that's all.

I already told you Vinnie, look, you don't have the right

kind of pencil.

I got the right kind of pencil, honest.

Here Jakey I'll show you.

Oh, don't bust my balls.

[PHONE RINGING]

You ain't even got any lead in your pencil.

I got plenty of lead, look I ...

Hello?

Look, I just want to take Theresa out one time.

You don't even know how to write.

Ah, forget about it.

Sorry.

I got you Don.

Don't worry.

You got him Tone?

You got him Tone?

Yeah, I got him, I got him, I got him.

Everybody's looking, the neighborhood here.

I've got to call you back.

Sammy, come here.

Hurry up.

Here comes the Don and his boys.

Angelo, hey.

Where you been?

That represents 10 suits, not to mention sport coats,

slacks, shirts.

How can I get to these guys?

What? You're my boy.

I can show these fatheads how to protect the Don better,

that's for sure.

They don't even move with him.

What are you talking about?

Someone could bump the Don off ...

What has that got to do with you?

I'm saying, if someone wanted to bump the Don of they

could do it.

And that's your problem?

Yeah, it could be my problem.

Why?

For what reason?

I could get a job.

How about that?

What kind of job? With them?

Yeah, they could probably ...

Look at the money.

We're here to make suits, not, not ...

You work here. Forget about it.

Huh, look at this.

Here comes your mother with our lunch.

She's only been driving a couple of months.

I know, not bad.

Look, she can parallel park.

Holy shit.

Oh my God, Holy Mary mother of God.

Jesus Christ.

Holy shit!

Look at this!

What?

Oh, holy shit.

I don't think any amount of praying is going to help this.

Ma!

Ma!

Ma, what are you doing?

What idiot would park on the wrong side of the street?

You get inside.

Stay where you are.

Yeah, sure.

What are you doing?

Oh!

...the front over here.

That's what I'm talking about.

Holy shit.

What are you doing?

What are you crazy bringing that thing in here?

You trying to get me killed?

No, I'm trying to save this family.

Oh God here comes one dead family...

Because he's got the bumper.

Oh, who is this?

Who are these people?

What the hell is going on?

Huh?

Come here, come here, come here.

Oh.

Oh.

That's not good.

That's bad.

Yeah Hey, Gavones, get out of the way.

Don Piano, we've got a problem here.

Something was missing from your automobile.

I'm curious to know what the hell is going on.

Yeah ...

My pop always told me, "Angelo, you got something to say

you say it."

You got something to say to me tailor?

Something to ease my troubled mind?

I can't help but feeling a little tense.

PS127.

Don Piano, are you aware of our specials

on custom made garments

of the finest gaberdine wool cloth?

Don't forget hand stitching and special...

Assorted colors.

I can get whatever you want, whatever assorted colors,

fabrics and finishes.

Finishes.

I tell you,

you'd look wonderful in a nice blue gaberdine.

Sharkskin.

Bongiorno, Don Piano.

I am so sorry to have brought you here

under such unusual circumstances.

It seems ...

It's okay.

She was parking and you know how hard parking is.

I don't drive.

No, you don't.

I do.

She kind of just scraped your limo.

Just a little bit.

All of a sudden baboom.

Baboom.

Baboom.

Baboom.

Baboom.

And now ...

Baboom.

Your ...

Bumper is in our shop.

Don Piano what happened is as I was parking, the jar with

Mike's sausage and peppers and my gravy started to spill

and as I went to grab for it I lost control.

You know Mike likes a hot meal, he really does.

I do.

I like a hot meal.

Did you say sausage and peppers?

That's my favorite dish.

Really?

With olive oil and fresh parsley and a pinch of basil.

Hey, boss.

Those peppers and sausage they're the bestest.

I mean you ain't had those in a couple of weeks.

That's exactly how I make them, and they had these really

nice great big, red peppers at Vecchios vegetable stand and

I make my own sausage in my kitchen.

Well a, madone'.

Hey!

Senora, I would be honored

to taste some of your culinary delights.

Get a nice piece of gaberdine for ...

No, sharkskin.

Sharkskin again.

Now, make yourself comfortable Don Piano.

Sit, sit.

I'm sure this will meet with your approval.

Now sit up close to the table Don Piano

so you don't spill your food.

Don't worry about that.

I'm fine.

Oh.

Oh.

Hey boys, this reminds me of last week at Mario's.

my favorite jacket.

I almost lost my appetite...

Almost, huh?

Those Crivellos, they got no respect.

When it come time to eat, you eat.

Hey, thanks to Mike here.

You saved the day.

My jacket, beautiful.

Don Piano, I want to talk to you about some new clothes, I

make for you...

Hey Mike, this is a very nice cloth.

What do you call this?

What is this?

That's sharkskin.

Sharkskin?

What the hell is sharkskin Tony?

I never heard of anything like that before, Sharkskin.

Mike, tomorrow you come by my place.

We have a little vino, a little pasta and we talk about the

old days capisce?

Don't remind me.

PS127, right?

And Mike, make sure to bring your tape measure, huh?

[LAUGHTER]

Hey Mike!

You do it again, huh?

So we're finally getting in with the big boys, huh Pop?

Yeah, yeah.

Me making a suit for Don Piano and you shining his shoes

isn't exactly getting in with the big boys.

I want to keep my distance from these guys and I want you

to do the same.

Pop, you've been dreaming about making suits for these

guys for years.

Yeah, only because the money.

If it wasn't for the money I wouldn't give these guys the

right time of day.

They're scum.

It's not like I have a choice.

You see how they jump to light the Don's cigar like a bunch

of trained dogs?

Weak men do that.

What's wrong with lighting your boss's cigar?

Nothing, as long as you do it out of respect.

Not out of fear.

You see the difference?

Yeah.

I guess.

Because before you know it you're kissing their ass for

every little thing and when you've done that,

you've lost everything.

Like what?

Like your self respect.

Okay.

What else?

There isn't anything else.

If you've got your self respect you've got everything,

honor, dignity, integrity.

That's what makes a man.

Don't ever forget that, son.

Ah, Pop, I love you.

Let's go make a suit.

Yeah, let's go make a suit.

he put them in the machine.

Where'd you get that?

My tailor.

oh hey, Mike.

Good to see you.

you honor us with your presence, huh?

He doesn't need to.

Hey, boys, you say hello to Miguel huh?

Hey, Miguel!

Oh, Mike, who's this?

This is my son, Sammy, he came to help.

Oh Sammy, what have you got there Sammy?

I bought my shoe box.

You want to shine the Don's shoes, huh?

Yeah.

Come on, you shine the Don's shoes.

Hey, Sammy.

You do a nice job, huh?

Don't make me show you how to do it all right?

All right, okay.

You going to do me a service.

You're going to make me one of those great suits you make.

See, next week I've got a big public appearance.

I'm going to dedicate this new building for the hospital.

Everybody going to be there, my cusine, all the newspapers.

It's a big event.

I'm going to wear a bullet proof vest and you are going to

make me a suit with the vest underneath.

Ah.

Ah.

Don Piano, my pop is so good he could make you a suit with

the vest already built into the suit, right?

That's a good idea and maybe Valentino Ferrari will take

notice of it, huh?

Oh, yeah you mean the concert violinist?

That's it.

You know, when he's going to

give up on this violin dame anyway?

When he ends up banging her, that's when.

She won't even talk to him.

He just likes to chase the babes, around.

Leave him alone.

Hey, Mike.

You do a nice job on this suit you make all my suits.

You become my own personal tailor.

Huh?

Everybody'll know about it.

How you doing, Mike?

Hey, babe, after this is over

you and I we go have our own lunch.

I've got something special planned.

You do?

Yeah.

Sure honey.

Yeah.

Hey, Sammy.

You know what?

When you're done doing the Don you come over you do my

shoes and you do Tony's shoes.

You do mine.

I give good tip.

Don't do Jakey because he's the cheapest bastard on the

face of the earth, okay?

Come and do my shoes you get a good tip here.

Me and Tony take care of you.

Okay.

Hey, I mean maybe we could trade.

You could show me how to shoot a gun

and then I'll shine your shoes.

Oh, you want to shoot a gun, huh?

You want a shoot a gun huh?

Sammy, you know what?

We're going to give you your own gun too maybe

huh if you get good.

[RADIO]

Mother.

Honey.

I don't know what to do with Russell.

Why?

He's sweet and I like him, but ...

But, do you really like him?

Do you like him a lot?

Is he special?

Well, I think so.

Give me the brush.

You have that look on your face darling.

I know.

I like him but he wants to go so fast.

I know.

Your father was just like that.

Was he?

Oh, yeah but so cute.

Well, but he would never even think ...

Of trying anything?

No!

Not with Uncle Louie, Uncle Weewee, Uncle Charlie, Uncle

Bill and Uncle Jim.

You should have seen the way they used to stand there when

he'd come over.

They would have killed him if they even thought...

My father a lover?

Shh.

No S-E-X talk.

Are you kidding?

If he even thinks or knows that his favorite daughter has a

guy coming around he'll go crazy.

Fathers and daughters.

Mom, I'm growing up so fast.

No, no, no.

Take it slowly.

I'm 22.

I know, but Russell will respect you.

Why don't you go to sleep, okay?

We'll talk about this in the morning.

Thank you mom.

You're welcome.

Good night sweetie.

Love you.

Love you too.

Good night, honey.

Can you believe these girls?

They want to grow up so fast.

Yeah,

You know you've been working all these hours lately.

I miss you.

Don't worry about it because the mayor is going to be at

the Don's lunch.

He sees my work and that's going ...

What, what?

There you go again, Mike the dreamer.

He'll just see my work and I'll get a job.

Mike you're such a dreamer, but I love you anyway.

Me too, Lill.

[CELLO PLAYING]

Here, you go out with the boys for collection, capisce?

Hey, Mike.

You remember me?

Hello Francesca.

Why, I didn't realize yesterday.

It's been a long time.

Still living at home?

Hey Mike.

Nice to see you this morning.

You bring your tape measure to take the Don's measurements?

Yes.

We don't want bullet holes to go in this little belly of

mine, huh?

Yes, I've come to fit you for your fine new suit.

I was thinking of gaberdine, navy blue.

No, no, no Mike.

With all due respect I want a black sharkskin for my first

public appearance, unless you would advise me otherwise?

What the hell is sharkskin?

Hey, Gavone...

No, of course that would be a wonderful choice.

Whatever you want.

Hey, Angelo,

which one of these you want to use

on that third avenue tap tonight?

The big one sprays real nice but this cut off, this makes a

big, bad pop.

Whichever one is the loudest.

Tony, my boy, can't you see I'm conducting business with

the newest member of our organization?

Put a lid on it, huh?

Dots.

I'm going to clam it up myself.

What?

Mr. Hooks, I see you taking them happy pills again, huh?

What you got a little lead in your pencil now?

Is that it?

Oh, look at you.

Yeah, get out of my face.

You're starting to lose it a little bit.

We're listening to the cello.

You've got to bring

The cello?

What was I saying before I was so rudely interrupted?

Mike!

You make sure everything fits just right, I'm all yours.

Antonio?

Yeah?

Take the bullets that Vinnie likes, okay?

Vin?

Yeah, and then you bring that new boy.

What's his name?

Bennie?

Boss, boss.

Sammy.

Oh, Sammy, Sammy.

That's Mikey's son.

You take Sammy with you tomorrow and you show him the

ropes, capisce?

Capisce.

Now, Mike, you make sure when you do the suit I've got

room for the gun over here and the cigars over there.

Capisce?

Yes, you would look wonderful in black sharkskin.

Come on, Vinnie, catch the ball.

Yeah, you throw like a girl.

Why don't you throw the ball right, like a man.

Catch the ball!

That's what I'm talking about.

It slipped out of my hands.

I'm telling you Jakey it's too soon.

Don't you know the Don doesn't want

to come out to public yet.

You know what I'm saying.

No, I don't know what you're saying.

I mean it's risky.

You know he may get killed.

What am I going to do, huh?

My hands are tied.

Wait a minute, he's my cousin.

Yeah.

And we've got to do something.

Yeah.

I'm saying this now, if anything happens I'm holding you

responsible personally.

Oh, me personally responsible?

Yeah, you.

I'm going to take the Don out, is that what you're

insinuating, Carmine?

Yeah.

What do you want?

Hey Jakey.

Listen, kid, I'm not crazy about you being around here you

know but we're going to make it work, right?

Yeah?

You do exactly as I tell you

everything is going to be just fine.

You understand?

Yeah.

I'm going to give you a break against my better judgement.

You get it?

Got it.

Good.

You're a smart kid, kid.

Hey, Vinnie.

Come over here.

Show this kid how to handle a piece.

Let me tell you something kid, you gonna have more babes

hanging on your arm, more money in your fucking pocket than

your pockets can hold.

So much.

And you're going to be hanging with the boss.

This is like Downtown.

Yeah, there's only one problem.

You're going to have to do certain things at certain times.

Even when you don't want to do them.

It's like when we whacked Charlie Grapefruits.

I remember.

Tony decided that we should chop him up.

So Tony took the hack saw chopped his arms off.

I chopped his legs off.

We stuffed them in different bags.

You know what I'm saying so the coppers wouldn't find out.

This is Downtown.

Absolutely Don.

You know what, come with me.

The warm colors they hide the spaghetti stains.

Yes.

Miss Ferrari she's going to really respond to your wishes.

Every woman loves flowers.

Thank you for your expert council.

Now I got to tell you something.

You're the kind of man that knows the meaning of integrity,

respect and people like you deserve to be rewarded.

I want you to take over my book keeping operations here in

your store.

Well I tell you I need to get out from under these debts.

How much do you owe?

Well if your suit was worth $2,000,

I'll tell you something,

I'd be almost out of debt.

Wait, one suit worth $2,000.

That's a lot of money.

Hey Mike.

Mike do me this service

and don't worry about the other stuff.

Capece?.

I don't know.

I don't know what I've done to deserve such an honor.

Thank you so much.

Listen, I want you to take my cigarette lighter.

It belonged to my father.

I want you to have it.

You've been like a father to me.

Mike, I keep it in my best pocket.

Happy? We go manga.

Wait till you see the feast I got.

Benne, benne! Let's go.

All right Frankie.

Close your eyes.

They're closed.

Close your eyes.

They're closed.

I can't see anything.

Okay, you ready?

Yeah.

All right, keep them closed.

Step.

This is making me nervous.

No, don't be nervous.

Turn around, turn around.

Give me this, give me this.

All right, you ready?

Yes.

Open up.

What is this?

Nothing?

Look.

Huh?

Tony!

What is this?

Isn't that fantastic?

Tony, my god.

Look, I know I promised you a picnic at the statue of

liberty today, but it's raining.

I know a guy.

What is all of this?

Well he works in the picture business.

He owed me a favor so I figured

you could use a couple pictures.

You know a couple of them big pictures.

It's amazing.

I can't believe you did this.

Sure beats sitting watching the Don eat all day.

They keep coming and coming.

Aww.

That's Luigi Infantino, I love him.

This is some good food.

Heh?

You're so sweet.

Oh my god.

This mein is so good.

Hey Tony, you know those hills behind statue of liberty?

What is that?

Staten Island?

No, I think you're talking about Brooklyn.

They've got little houses out there

with trees, families, kids.

You know it doesn't smell like Manhattan .

Yeah, that's the trees.

It's called air.

Well there it is.

Yeah.

My bad.

I see you.

Can you imagine having a little place out there of our own

with some trees and a lawn and some fences.

Fences?

Yeah.

Yeah, maybe.

Tone.

Come on.

What.

Come on.

There's nobody here.

I'm trying to have a conversation here.

Nobody's here.

Look.

Is anyone here?

I need a place at the park avenue tower with the doorman

and room service.

Not fences and trees.

Besides, every time I go to Brooklyn,

I don't breathe so good.

I don't think its good for me.

Come on, let's eat some more of this food.

Dance with me.

Dance with you?

You know what would be good for your health?

What?

Walking away from all of this.

You could be your own boss.

You could do what you want to do.

How many times do we got to talk about this?

I can't get out like I'm quitting a job.

You can't give a two week.

Believe me, I would if I could.

Would you?

Yeah I would.

I could see me with some little cool little store on

Madison with silk dots hanging in the window.

You know what I call it?

What?

I call it dots the ticket.

Yeah.

Who knows, maybe a club on 42nd Street.

Yeah.

The boys come buy, chew their fat.

Hey.

Hey.

Yeah yeah.

I see a great idea.

You'd have a club on 42nd.

What are you thinking?

What?

That'd be the same thing.

You got a little place like that those lousy good for

nothings are coming hanging around you.

Being like nothings changed at all.

Come on.

Jesus.

Think about it.

Chew on it a little bit.

We'll see.

Okay.

...

Jesus you get like Graziano.

You love it.

I do.

Sammy, stop slurping your food.

Please?

I will.

This is good.

Thanks.

You should have seen Pop, mom.

Really?

Yeah.

He didn't even let it on to the Don

that he's trying to make a suit his whole life.

Really?

Yeah.

He was just sitting at the end of the table.

He didn't even care.

Yeah.

I'm making his suit the whole time.

Really?

What I want to know is what the hell you're doing in the

mob now anyway?

Next thing you know you're going to be carrying a gat?

Mr. Bigshot.

Maybe you're interested

in one of those floozeys down there.

Lil, what are you talking about?

What is wrong with you?

These guys are garbage.

I'm doing this for the family.

It's Sammy.

He's got The Don all excited.

I thought you're just going to make a suit.

No he got him all excited and the next thing you know he

says you're one of us.

Like you're in.

In!

You know?

What am I supposed to say to this guy?

No?

Yeah.

When does making a suit go with being in the mob.

I'm a little confused.

Sammy, god damn it.

Shut up.

If you don't stop using the lord's name in vain.

Hey Lil, you shut up too.

Me shut up.

Are you telling me to shut up?

You shut up!

Anybody want dessert?

Coffee?

Sit tight, Sam.

So you ain't paid up yet?

Oh, Tony I just paid them.

[GUN SHOTS]

[RADIO PLAYING OPERA]

As you can see, there's much wisdom

in keeping this idea private.

Never leaving this room.

We're all agreed?

Good.

Now, I'm going to eat my spaghetti.

Mr. Piano, excuse my interruption but I don't think that I can

agree with your assessment.

What do you mean you don't agree with my assessment?

What are you talking about?

Yeah, Mr. Piano, I mean how can you expect us to remain silent

and overlook these obvious infractions of the law when the

financial remumeration is so limited.

Yes, I noticed that too.

Hey, hey!

What is this bullshit?

Don't talk to me like that.

You shut up.

You eat your pasta.

You shut up.

You got the plans.

You keep quiet.

This is finito.

Gentlemen, please, kindly maintain a dignified manner.

Thank you chief and you too Marvin

for all your eloquent observations.

What's dignified?

That's enough, huh.

No more, basta.

What are you doing?

Get out of my club you show no respect, huh?

You take your goons and get out of here.!

I protest this ungentlemanly treatment and I request.

Shut up!

Shut up!

You take this Stunod and you get rid of him before I have

him for dessert.

What do you mean dessert?

How dare you?

Who do you think you're talking to?

Dots get rid of this cockroach huh?

Vin, get rid of the bug, huh?

Come on, let's go.

Oh, somebody's disturbing the Don?

What should we do about this?

I know.

He needs an exterminator, huh.

[GUN SHOT]

What the- .

What are you doing?

He ain't dead, he's still blubbering under foot.

There he goes.

Jakie, you burn these papers and you clean up this place.

I had a good fucking hand.

You almost shot the old lady for christ's sake.

Come on Honey, you okay?

Look at my lunch, look at my lunch.

Enough, pasta.

Clean this shit up, Tailor.

Let me eat my spaghetti.

All right Don, I'm sorry.

Hey Sammy.

What you doing?

I'm a little busy right now, Donna.

What's going on?

Hey, why don't you take me to the dance Saturday night?

That sounds amazing.

I don't think I can make it though.

You better go.

Yeah sure.

Bye Sammy.

Pop!

What?

I got to talk to you.

Not now Sammy, not now.

Pop I need to talk to you now.

What is more important than me

almost getting killed in there.

How about me almost getting killed too.

What you talking about getting killed.

I been out with the boys, making collections.

We run into the Crivello guys, right?

All of a sudden, dead.

They killed him right in front of me, dead.

Then Vinny get's into the car and he wipes his bloody hands

on my pants.

I've got blood all over my pants.

We got to get away from this mob stuff, fast.

Take it easy.

I know you're upset.

Everything's have been out.

It's going to be okay.

You think?

Pop, these guys are killers.

They even wanted me to kill the Crivello guys.

You know what Tony said?

"Yeah, you can prepare the bodies for burial."

He thought that was really funny.

What are you ...

Tell them about the corpses.

Now they'll never let you out.

Great.

Oh, that's great.

Just what I wanted to hear.

Yeah, they'll never run out of bodies.

They'll shoot them, you dress them, I bury them.

Perfect.

Okay, I'll talk to the Don.

Oh, yeah right.

Pop you're not going to talk to the Don.

You guys are like best friends now.

What are you going to do about it?

Holy Mary mother-

What Pop, what?

Oh my God, these papers could send the Don up the river.

That's from the city planning guy.

They killed this guy.

Right there.

Today.

Pop, I got to go.

Where you going?

Frankie, hey!

Sammy.

Sorry I didn't get the chance to talk to you over there.

How you doing?

Yeah, me too.

I'm good, what's up?

Nothing, you look fantastic.

Thanks.

I got to talk to you about something.

What?

I've known you a long time.

I just need your help.

Like right now you want it?

Yeah, now.

I got two minutes.

Good, please, sit.

You want a smoke?

Yeah.

You look troubled.

You don't know the half of it.

We're going on my first run, with the boys, and they iced

these two guys right in front of me.

Yeah.

What was the problem?

They gunned down these two Crivello guys right in front...

They didn't even care they were doing it.

Sammy, that's what they do.

What do you think they teach school for a living?

That's their purpose.

Somebody gets in the way, bada boom,

they're not in the way anymore.

Get it?

Yeah I get it.

Good.

That's why I got to get away from this situation.

I know my Pop would want me to do that.

I'm sure your Pop would understand but you don't just get

out of this situation.

It's best just to forget about it.

I don't buy that.

Look, my Pop taught me what's right and wrong, you know?

He's got it so good right now

he doesn't even know what's right.

You got it all wrong.

Just wait and see.

I can't wait.

I got to talk to somebody now.

Hey, maybe Tony could help us.

You think?

Us?

What is the us part?

There is no us, Sammy.

There's just you and me, all right?

There isn't no us.

Don't you want to get away from these assholes too?

Hey.

I got my own plans.

You'll see.

I got to talk to Tony, right now.

I can't wait anymore, do you know where he is?

Do you want to go with me?

All right, listen, I don't want you going off half cocked,

all right?

You think before you talk.

Okay?

Fine.

Let's go.

Come on.

Hey Tone.

Hey babe.

Some car, huh?

It's beautiful.

Yes, it's going to be mine some day.

Sammy, where you been?

Hey Tone.

Tone, I got to talk to you.

I need your help.

What's the problem big guy?

I want out of the mob.

You want what?

Out of the organization?

Yeah.

You know what, maybe I don't hear so good.

Say that again.

No, no you heard me.

I want out.

Me and my Pop.

We don't want to be part of this organization anymore.

Frankie what you been telling him?

Nothing, Tony.

He's new.

He don't know.

You been giving him ideas?

Stupid ideas about turning on the Don?

Hey, that can be dangerous.

I got to do something before my...

Hey, before what?

Nothing can be done, believe me, I know.

Now forget about it.

Hey, it ain't that bad.

Look, Sam, I like you.

You can ask me for anything.

You, you're talking crazy.

Come on.

That's it.

Enough of these fucking games.

You're going to do what you're told.

Get your head on straight.

You be at the lounge in an hour.

We got some work to do.

Here finish the wax job, respect your commitments.

Pick yourself up before someone sees you.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

You, come on.

Let's get some coffee.

Okay, yeah.

Apple sauce on the fifth, two dollars.

Okay.

Okay.

Black Knight, ninth okay.

Yeah, I got it.

Hey, you Mike the tailor?

Who wants to know?

Yeah, that's him boss.

You the one who's been racking up the tab with me.

All of sudden you're paying it down, that's good.

I paid my vig, I'm almost paid up.

I'm Cosmo Crivello,

Mr. Crivello to you.

I know who you are.

Yeah, what about it?

Nothing, absolutely nothing.

I just ...

I'm not here to hurt you.

I hear you're making a couple of jackets and a fine suit

for fat Piano, is that right?

No, I'm just making a black sharkskin suit for Mr. Piano.

Yo, boss, what the hell is sharkskin?

Shut the hell up.

I want you to make me a jacket exactly like fat piano.

That means identical.

Exactly why me?

Because I like sharkskin, you owe me money, and I hear

you're the best tailor around.

I'm a little busy right now.

So this will be a perfect time to take my measurement.

You do a good job and I wipe out the debt,

and you become my personal tailor.

This is a special surprise to my friend Don Piano.

This visit is strictly between you and me.

That means no one's supposed to know.

Listen, you look like a smart guy.

You don't look like a guy who needs any convincing.

No

Good.

When is this surprise going to be due?

For the mayor's lunch.

You take as long as you want,

but it better be there next week.

That means in seven days.

And it better be identical.

That means exactly.

Come on Mike, take my measurements.

I got a bocci game to attend to

and I don't want to be late.

All right, let's do it.

All right.

Hey Lil, what's the matter?

What's the matter?

You want to know what's the matter?

What were you thinking

when you decided to take this crazy job, Mike?

It certainly wasn't the security of your family.

Now he wants me to cook for him.

He wants me to cook for fat Piano.

It's only for a couple of weeks.

Until his cook gets out of the hospital, that's all.

Out of the hospital?

Yeah, she got shot.

Accidentally.

Oh, what a relief.

An accident.

I feel so much better.

Lil' listen, it's not what happens,

it's what we do about it.

Right Sammy?

You got to admit, Dad's got a lot more business

since it started.

'Nita mind your business.

It's nothing to do with you.

You cook for him or it's my neck.

Or I until I get shot too, is that what you're thinking?

He's not going to shoot you.

He loves your cooking too much.

You know, there's a lot of poisons, when I think about it.

That I could put in that fat slobs meal.

He wouldn't even know the difference

the way he consumes food.

He's like a bottomless pit.

He just eats and he eats and he eats.

A week ago, you knocked his bumper off his car.

It was an accident.

Right, okay, fine, but I bring it in the shop, I save your

life, I'd say a little bit.

Dad is asking you right now to save our lives.

Pop's asking you for two weeks.

Please.

We're in trouble right now, mom.

Okay.

You get you and your son out of the mob and I'll cook for

his fat highness.

If you break your word I swear.

Lil!

You don't do this.

I'll be hanging in some dego meat locker in Hackensack.

And by the way I don't see you complaining about the extra

money that I'm bringing home.

Of course it's nice to have extra money, but what's the,

what's the good of it if all I can do

is give you a better funeral?

I don't care about the money.

I care about you.

Please don't mention funerals, Ma.

My stomach is killing me.

Yeah, I got adgida too.

You better get us out of this.

I'll get us out.

You better.

What possessed you to get into the mob?

You were only going to make him a suit?

For once I wanted to have some importance, a little self

respect, some money, a little power, that's it.

I know honey, but that's not the way.

Well, in the meantime if Uncle Charlie doesn't convince

the Don to let me out, well then you're my last hope.

God, I hope we live through this because if we don't I'm

going to kill you.

Charlie!

Hello!

Yeah?

You don't recognize me do you?

How can I forget?

Charlie, come on, its Francesca

Francesca.

Yeah.

Francesca.

Oh, gorgeous.

How's your mother?

She hasn't been the same since daddy got killed.

That's why I'm doing what I'm doing.

You know?

No.

I'm running with the mob.

With legs like yours?

Come on.

I'm not kidding.

I'm Franki.

Franki?

Yeah, yeah you haven't heard about me?

Oh, Dot's girl?

I thought it was some Jadrool running

around shooting his mouth off.

No.

I wanted to find you to talk about a thing.

Since you know all about what happened.

What was I supposed to do?

Just sit around

and let the killers of my father run around unpunished?

No, that's why I'm going to

kill that fat lousy bastard Piano.

Whoa!

Shh, come here.

Okay.

Shh.

I'm not kidding around, Charlie.

Revenge is sweet but but you know who killed him

and if anybody ever saw us talking like this

we'd both be in big trouble.

Now shut that pretty mouth.

I don't want to get you in any trouble Charlie, but I've

got to do this.

I never told anybody any of this but the fact is when I was

17 years old I saw them take out my father, right in front

of my eyes.

I saw him go down.

By the order of the great Don Piano.

I'm never gonna forget that.

I know

I'm gonna make sure they never forget it either.

I do too.

What?

I was working for the Don at the time.

When Fat Angelo, he came back from Italy.

And then his father died,

his first official gesture was to um...

To kill my father

Right.

He was gonna pop anybody who was disagreeing with him.

I told him this was a bad game plan and they need to forget

about this.

Your father was a good man.

It happened so fast.

I don't know.

I'm so sorry honey.

Every day I make nice to that fat fucking eating machine.

This is gonna stop.

This is gonna end Charlie.

I don't wanna hear you talk this way.

Hey.

I'm gonna take care of everything.

This is gonna get done?

You hear what I just said?

Molto bene, this is very good, bellissimo.

Mrs. Esposito I can't wait to sample this beautiful dishes.

[PHONE RINGS]

Beautiful.

You're a genius.

I love it all.

It's good.

Yeah.

What do you mean he don't want to pay?

What do you do?

You break his arm.

Hey, you don't call me.

I'm having a I'm eating now.

Son of a bitch.

Ah, Mike, your wife is as good a cook

as you are a tailor, huh?

It's a good thing I had that Crivello rubbed out, huh?

Maybe we'd have never got together.

Hey, Mike, I hope this is going to make no difference to my

fitting huh?

oh, no it will be no problem, Angelo, but there's another

matter I'd like to, a little delicate matter I'd like to

talk to you ...

You see my son Sammy ...

Sammy?

Sammy who?

He's my son Sammy?

Oh, yeah, yeah okay.

He was on collections.

Collections?

With your boys.

Yeah, so, yeah, yeah.

And I just don't think that he should be doing that

because, no because he should be in the shop with me.

What do you mean?

Hey Mike ...

I just don't think that Sammy and me are worthy of being

members of such an important organization.

I mean I'm not worthy of your generosity and I think it was

a mistake for me to accept membership in your family.

Mike, you don't want to upset the Don do you?

No, no.

I must be hearing someone else's words.

No, it's not just ...

No, it's not that.

It's just ...

Mike, I give you a chance to rephrase what you want to say

to me.

Don Piano, I want to resign from your organization.

Mike, I'm not liking what I'm hearing.

Please?

Please?

You have to release me from this commitment.

I'm not ...

It's not for me.

Mike, Mike, I fire people, but nobody quits me.

Nobody quits my organization unless they're dead, morta.

Now Miguel, you and me we paisanos and you're one of the

best tailors in all of New York City.

Don't do something that is going to come between us.

You make a big mistake.

If you do what I tell you, you mind your own business

everything going to be okay,

but if you don't do what I say,

if you so much as shorten my suit pants by this much I

have you swimming with the fishes on the ocean side.

Capisce?

Enough.

Okay.

Enough.

Let me remind you of your obligations.

Next week I have a very important engagement.

I'm relying on your integrity to make me worthy of the

mayor's special honor.

Of course, of course.

So, if we're done with this fitting I have other business

to attend to.

Yeah.

You may go.

Yes.

Good day, Don.

Good day to you.

[RADIO PLAYING]

Hey Joey!

Hey Joey.

Joey.

Is Charlie in?

Where do I know you from?

You go to the track?

No, I'm Mike.

Charlie's my uncle.

Yeah, you were at the Pasquale's funeral

last month, right?

No, no, Charlie's my uncle.

The guys from the city, coming to town, the pizzaria.

I'm Mike.

I'm Mike.

Charlie's my uncle.

You know me.

Your Uncle?

You look as old as he does.

Ah, we, gotta big family.

A big family?

You got an appointment?

Yeah, he's waiting for me.

He never said anything to me, but you're telling me...

Yeah, I had an appointment.

Alright, if its okay with uncle, then its ok with me.

Yeah, why don't we?

Go ahead, yeah, go ahead.

[VIOLIN PLAYING]

I came all the way downtown just to hear her play.

Charlie come on.

Change your mood.

You're always sour Charlie.

You're a sour puss you know.

Come on.

My Pop used to say Charlie's a sour puss you know, but he

liked you though.

He liked you.

Are you good Charlie?

I'm fine salute.

To friendship, huh Charlie?

Absolutely.

So, Charlie, what do you want?

What can I do for you?

Uh, the reason I asked for this sit was Mikey the tailor.

You know Mikey?

He's my nephew.

Mikey the tailor, he's yours?

He's my tailor.

He's the best tailor in all of New York City.

He's going to make me a great suit, sharkskin.

I heard about the sharkskin.

Yeah?

yeah.

Best tailor in New York.

The best.

I want to ask you to stay away from

Mikey and his son Sammy.

He's nice, they're good people.

They shouldn't even be making you suits come on.

Hey Charlie, come on.

Think about what you just said.

You want me to stay away from my own tailor?

You're a funny man, Charlie, you know that?

Oh, so, so beautiful.

Thank you.

How lovely.

Could you play Le vie en Rose?

Oh yes.

You can?

Yes, yes.

You play it for me?

I will.

You will?

Thank you, and that's a beautiful dress.

Oh, thank you.

Beautiful girl.

Bellisimo, huh?

You entertain yourself enough Charlie?

Beautiful girl.

Yeah?

That's mine Charlie.

She belongs to me capisce?

Now you want to talk about something else Charlie because

if we keep this up you'll give me angina

and I don't want angida.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think we're talking is done, Charlie.

I'm telling you.

Yeah?

Stay away from my nephew.

Don Piano,

If you don't stay away from my nephew you're going to have

to deal with me.

Capisce?

You don't threaten me and you don't tell me what to do

with my business, capisce?

We done?

Son of a bitch you listen to what I say, you hear?

You hear me?

I hear you all right.

You hear this?

Son of a bitch.

[GUN SHOTS. BODY HITS THE FLOOR]

Shit.

Son of a bitch.

Oh, Angelo I'm so sorry.

I miss your little fat face.

I know I could have loved you.

May God strike me dead.

Mike?

Mike?

What?

Where the hell'd you go?

Are you all right?

Oh.

What's the matter?

Nothing, I'm good.

I'm good.

You sure?

Oh, Charlie.

How could you leave me?

You son of a bitch.

I cook and clean and slave for you all of my life and this

is what you do to me?

It's okay Aunt Rose.

Oh, we just started to enjoy our lives.

I'll make it right.

Oh I want you to kill that bastard.

I'll make it right.

I'm going to get that pig scum bag fatso.

You help me Mike.

You help me.

I'll make it right.

I need a brandy.

We've got to get that bastard.

Come on.

He killed my Charlie.

You help me Mike.

Come on.

Help her, help her to her chair.

Okay.

Come on.

He's going to pay for this.

I'll get you some.

He's a killer!

Can I help you sir?

No thanks, I was just ...

No.

You could just go in and ask for the desk sergeant.

Uh, no thanks.

I'm just leaving.

I give these papers to somebody on Piano's payroll,

I'm dead.

You wanted a fitting Angelo?

Mike.

We brought the jacket for you Don Piano and we put the

plates in that you asked, the extra protection in addition

to the vest part that Pop sewed into the jacket.

Sammy, you try it on eh?

What?

Why Sammy?

I want to see how it looks.

Okay, try it on.

Pop, it's going to be too big for me.

I know.

See there Jakey that's the sharkskin.

Sharkskin isn't it?

Elegant.

Nice job Mike.

It will look good on you.

You can't tell how this fits anyway.

[GUN SHOT]

Oh!

Sammy! Sammy!

Why?

I wanted to see if the metal plates worked.

They worked.

Yeah, it works nice huh Jakey?

Thank you Mike, you may go.

What if it didn't work?

Then you'd have a couple of days to fix it.

You're going to come with me to the mayor's lunch.

Frankie, you scared the shit out of me.

What do you want? I ain't perfect.

I got something that's going to get us

all out of this mess.

These papers are going to send the Don up the river.

All right?

I'm stitching them into the jacket so at the right moment

the seam will split and the papers will fall out.

What's this hole in the bullet proof vest for?

That's an area over the Don's heart..

So then if they don't fall out, then what?

I'm going to kill him.

I'm going to shoot him right through the heart.

What am I talking about?

I'm desperate.

I don't know.

You're going to kill Piano?

You're tougher than I thought, Mike.

It's got to be done, but if we do our part everything's

going to be fine.

What's this we part?

You have to make sure that the Don stays close to the

mayor at the ceremony because when the papers fall out the

mayor has got to get them because if the Don's boys get

them they're going to grind me into dog food.

So what if it does work?

The mayor is going to find the papers, great and then the

Don is going to know exactly

who put the papers in his suit.

What are you ...

They're right next door.

What about you?

I don't care about me.

I just care about my wife and my son.

For the first time something I do makes a difference.

I love you for doing this, Mike.

Son of a bitch.

Love?

What are you talking about love?

It's Tony that you love.

Tony, my God Tony.

Yeah.

What's going to happen to him when all this goes down?

No, no, no.

If I help you do it this way then you've got to help me

make sure that Tony stays clear of all of it.

You do your part and I'll do mine.

Deal?

Deal.

*

Where you been Frankie?

Tony, you scared the living crap out of me.

Where you been?

Nowhere really.

I didn't see you in the dark with Mike the tailor

whispering in his ear when I drove by about an hour ago?

I just had some business to discuss with him

about the lunch.

It's nothing for you to worry about.

You think I'm stupid or something?

If you're fucking this guy you're both going to be

sorry about it.

You got nothing to worry about.

I just had some business to discuss and it's something to

do with my past and I don't want anybody to know about it

all right?

Okay, good, good all right.

Well I'm listening, this better be good.

I'm listening.

I've got to have somebody eliminated all right,

and I don't want to talk about it.

Okay.

You've got to have someone eliminated.

Why didn't you say so?

I can help you.

Huh?

Come on Frankie.

It doesn't matter, babe.

Let's talk about something else.

Who is it?

Come on, come on.

Frankie, come on.

Who is it?

Tell me who it is.

Frankie, tell me who it is.

Who is it?

It's the Don.

What are you crazy?

Goin' nuts on me?

Jesus Christ these women they're always going crazy on me.

That fat fuck is responsible for my father's death.

I saw it with my own eyes.

I watched him go down.

I've been working on this for a long time.

It is happening this Friday, that fat fuck is falling down.

Frankie, if that happens I am a dead man.

Do you understand that?

That's why I'm trying to keep you out of it Tony.

I don't want you to have anything to do with it.

This whole time you've been planning on killing him?

Using me ...

Wait, baby.

No wait.

Using me that whole time is that what you're telling me?

Wait, wait, wait!

Tony wait just listen to me okay?

Is that what you're telling me?

No, yes.

[TAPPING ON GLASS]

Oh excuse me, yeah, yeah ...

Excuse me, may I have your attention?

Boy, we've got a lot of Italians in this room, plenty of

noise here.

Today is a very special and dare I say historic day in this

great city.

Without further ado it gives me great pleasure to introduce

to you a man among men, an ally of this great city,

and a personal friend of mine.

Please let's have a warm welcome for our benefactor,

Mr. Angelo Giuseppe Piano.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you Mayor Laguardia.

Mayor Laguardia, thank you so much.

The chief of police ladies and gentlemen, and my beautiful

niece Marlene come all the way from Italy to be here with

her uncle.

Grazie, grazie, on this special day.

In a manner of speaking ...

If you want something done you've got to do it yourself.

What are you looking at?

And my poppa he see me today he'd be so proud.

Mayor Laguardia you know how hard the Italian people work

to get what they get.

My father when he came here long time ago

to America he had nothing...

I'll hit you right where your heart never was.

...this wonderful business, Don Piano Associates.

I am so honored ...

What the hell? Goddammit.

...to be his son, but let me say this Mayor Laguardia.

This is just the beginning of many, many future ...

This is for you, Charlie.

This great city of New York.

...and Don Piano ...

Shit.

...Associates...

Shit!

...So, without any further ado as we say in Italian.

Manjadee!

[MULTIPLE GUN SHOTS]

[SCREAMING]

What the hell is this?

You bastard!

Give me that!

Pop!

You all right?

Yeah, I thought they got me.

Well did you get him?

They got him.

They got him.

Go outside I'll be out there in a second.

Where you going?

Go to hell Piano.

You get what you deserve.

Here, you missed your lunch fatso.

Oh, man.

Pop!

Yeah?

Where were you?

you all right?

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know what happened to Jakey and everybody else.

[LAUGHTER]

Charlie!

Charlie!

It was you.

I don't believe it.

I mean you just let him have it.

I shot him in the face, hey.

The body can't do nothing if the head don't work.

Get in the car all right?

You too kid.

You want me in the car?

Yeah I want you in the car.

Very sensitive kid.

I want you in the car.

Charlie, Charlie I can't believe that you're here.

Your whole family thought you were dead.

Because of this guy.

Well he made the suit for me.

You wore the suit?

The same as you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They both have holes in them.

Yeah.

All right, well nothing's perfect.

This is the man that did it all.

Oh speaking of holes in things, you take this gun

before I shoot myself in the foot with it okay?

Yeah, you're not going to shoot yourself in the foot.

How do you know?

I took the firing pin out.

You did what?

I took the firing pin out.

You give me a gun that doesn't work?

That's right so you don't shoot yourself in the foot.

Hey when I die I hope I have a good a funeral as I had.

Didn't I look handsome?

Yes you did.

Did I look good?

He did the make up... everything.

Yeah, but they never got the hair right.

You know what I'm worried about?

Aunt Rosie, she finds out I'm alive she's going to kill me.

Yeah, then we'll have that funeral sooner than you think.

No more funerals, all right.

We're through with that.

Let's get out of here.

*

Just like you asked, Pop.

Hey, look at that.

Oh my God!

It's him. It's Mayor Laguardia.

What him? What are you talking about?

No, it really is. It really is.

Hey, how are you?

How's your knee?

It's Laguardia.

I saw him yesterday.

Hey, how are you doing?

Good to see you.

All right.

Are you Mr. Esposito the proprietor of this establishment?

How can I help you, yes?

Step aside Schmool.

Mr. Esposito, I am of the belief that you're the person most

responsible for the recent demise of a major crime figure.

No disrespect your honor but I don't know what you're

talking about.

We saw the papers falling out of Piano's jacket sleeve and

upon further investigation it was revealed that you had

just completed making him his suit.

A very fine suit may I say and I myself personally

commandeered the papers.

Then it worked.

See I was commanded to make a sharkskin suit.

What the hell is sharkskin?

But I had nothing to do with his killing.

We know that.

Of course not.

That was a revenge gangland slaying executed by

professionals, people you would never be associated with.

No.

But Mr. Esposito if it weren't for your integrity, your ability to

mastermind this bold and brilliant plan we would have never

been able to expose the swindling of public funds and

special interests.

Great work, Pop.

Absolutely brilliant.

Easy.

Your father is a hero, an American hero, a credit to every

hardworking Italian Americans everywhere.

As mayor of this fair city I commend you Michael Esposito

for your courage, your bravery, your honor.

Mike the tailor allow me to shake your hand,

it would be my pleasure.

Come on. Let's get a nice picture.

Get it all. Look at that.

This is a hero, a great Italian American hero.

Not like those bums at Tammany Hall.

A real hero.

Excuse us, excuse us.

Listen, Mike you have to make me a suit, something nice

like Piano.

I mean you do impeccable work.

My pleasure.

You'll come to my office

and we'll have some lunch together.

You'll arrange for the details.

All right Schmool?

Thank you your honor.

I don't know what to say.

Don't forget to bring your tape measure.

All right?

Because you know I'm a little more svelte than Piano.

Who isn't all right?

Are you sure you're not a little Jewish?

Like me, I'm part Jewish.

I mean you've got the job.

Look at this guy already.

Enough.

Nice hat.

My aunt has a hat like that.

She paid retail for it.

He's funny.

He's like a real guy.

He could be like a comedian.

Thank you, God bless you all.

Sammy!

I'm so proud of you.

It's Frankie.

Come on in.

I didn't want to disturb you.

Don't worry about it.

You all look so peaceful.

Hey, hi Frankie.

Hi Sammy.

Just wanted to ...

Frankie! Frankie!

Hey!

I've been looking for you.

Yeah, where you been I've been worried about you?

Mike, Sammy.

I've been preparing for the future.

Our future.

Oh?

Yeah, yeah look what I picked up real cheap.

What are you doing?

I got it from Hugo.

I bought every single one.

For what?

Because I'm going to go look at a little shop

on the east side.

Yeah.

Will you go with me?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh how sweet.

God bless.

Thank you

Very nice.

Ah, what are we doing, honey?

Here, we'll have a little celebration.

A salud.

Okay, because everything is so wonderful.

A little wine.

Thank you son.

Pop, it looks like you're going to be in the newspapers.

Yeah, well I hope they mention the shop.

Alright, um.

What are you doing over there?

Don't worry about it.

Jesus Christ.

Holy shit.

What's that?

Look at this.

Wow.

It saved my life.

What?

Oh!

Is that a hundred dollar bill?

It's a thousand dollars.

It's a thousand dollars.

Oh!

Holy God in heaven!

You know first this guy tries to kill me

then he saves my life.

Who?

What do you think?

I'll tell you about it sometime tonight.

Okay.

Yeah.

In fact you can tell me over a nice hot meal.

Ah, beautiful.

Look at this.

These are the best cigars band I've ever seen.

Three Clevelands.

Cleveland, Cleveland and Cleveland.

Baboom.

No more fooling around.

Let's get back to some real work over here.

All right, fair enough.

Pop, you've got to make yourself a new suit it looks like.

Yeah, I've got to cut myself a pattern.

I could do that for you.

These two, will wonders never cease.

Yeah, let me make you a suit.

Look what I got.

This really is a thousand dollar bill.

Thousand dollars.

Listen, your mother and I are going home.

You take over.

Me?

You're in charge.

Come on.

You know the mayor would look terrific in a nice gabardine.

I don't know, maybe sharkskin.

Gabardine with the sharkskin ...

No, sharkskin.

I'm looking for the tailor.

I'm the tailor.

Yes?

I'm Marlene Piano, Don Piano's niece.

Yes, yes.

I'm Sam Esposito.

How can I be of service to you Miss Piano?

You may now call me Dona Piano

since I'm now assuming control

of running the family business.

So, I need you to prepare my uncle

for the viewing tomorrow.

Oh, no.

Are you refusing to do what I ask?

No, I just don't know how you knew

I used to be a mortician.

I didn't.

I just want him to look good.

Then after the wake,

you take the suit you made so beautiful

for him and fit it as a suit for me.

Capisce?

Yes.

It would be a pleasure.

So, do we take the measurements now?

No?

Tomorrow then.

You come, you make him look good.

Then you come to my place.

Hey!

Don't forget to bring your tape measure.

Hello, Sam.

Finish your coffee, then you fit me.
