I'm not getting the effect here.

Hello.

You ordered your cheesesteak with
provolone.

So? Provolone's a slab.

It's not melted.

I gotta eat this with cheese out of a
can?

When in Rome.

I'm not greasing that thing to lube a
car.

Cheese is the key, right?

It's the roll.

Gentleman's paradise coming up.

All right, thanks.

Hey.

Hey.

My cab's not a dumpster truck.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, moron. That's my
cab.

Come on.

Yo, yo, Rocky.

Back up.

You've done your damage. What's your
problem, huh?

What?

You fill it back up? Yeah, I filled it
up.

Put in water fluid?

Yes. Do the tire pressure? Yes, yes,
yes.

All yeses. When are you going to start
trusting me?

Chechnyans don't trust.

They trust the Russians, the Americans.
What did they get us?

Hey, tough guy.

You didn't say goodbye.

You pack a hell of a right.

I'm from Philadelphia.

Jack Shannon.

I own the club.

Gentleman's Paradise.

If you're looking to sue, the only thing
you're going to get is practice.

Sue, I thought you might be interested
in picking up some extra money.

Thought wrong.

Want to hear me out?

Well, let me guess.

You want me to take the place of Heckle
and Jekyll?

Stand out front with that subspecies
look on my face. No.

I need a driver.

Pretty much the same thing you're doing
now.

Drive yourself.

My license got pulled.

DUI. I get it back in a couple of
months. Don't drink and drive.

I need an adult.

Someone who doesn't have to prove
himself every ten minutes.

I last night told you all that?

I figured you handled a lot of bad
situations when you were on the job.

For what it's worth, Olshansky, I think
you got shafted.

I read the papers.

How's it coming along, by the way?

You got a good lawyer?

Look, I appreciate the offer, but I got
to pass.

All right.

No problem.

Pay is $209, $250 if I need you next
night.

You can still drive a cab in your spare
time if it's your passion.

Come down some more.

562 South 9th.

We'll visit, grab a cup of coffee.

You can let me know either way.

Olshansky, what you have left to dream
about?

Huh?

Hey, hey. Hi, Mom.

I don't want to see your cup in the
clothes hamper.

Mom.

His pen. What does he even need one for?

He's an Olshansky.

Oh, thanks.

What's this he tells me about braces?

It's a retainer. Goes on the roof of his
mouth.

The orthodontist says he's got too many
teeth, not enough mouth.

How much is it going to cost?

My insurance covers most of it. Oh,
well, what's my end? Don't worry about

It's taken care of.

What does that mean?

My father offered to pay the difference.

Mike is my son.

He's taken my responsibility.

How much? After all is said and done,
about $2 ,200.

What? Please don't worry about this,
Mike. Dad wants to do it.

Okay? He knows your situation. He's
happy to help.

There's got to be something you can do.

There isn't.

It's my first offense.

$4 ,000. That's what I told Weissman
over and over until he was finishing my

sentences for me. I told him about your
service to the community, local hero.

By the time I was done, you were Ben
Franklin.

It's final. He's taking it to trial.

Weissman's just not going to let a dirty
cop walk.

Not without something in return.

Start writing.

We've been over this. And I'm tired of
you paying me for nothing.

Put down the names of other cops on the
take, you'll get your deal.

I don't know any names.

They don't have your back anymore.

They haven't had your back for months.
And if they were where you are right

trust me, they would have sold you down
the river so fast, you'd be ahead of the

current.

When's the trial?

They haven't set a date.

Call me when they do.

Mike.

From day one, you've asked me to be
straight with you.

I'm a good lawyer.

Yes. But I'm not a miracle worker.

I'm going to have to advise you to get
your affairs in order.

If anybody depends on you, put away as
much cash as you can while you still

It's money.

We like money, don't we?

Money's one thing.

But working with them, being with them?

Oh, you and me? We any different?

My taking a little taste from bad guys
isn't the same as being a bad guy.

It bothers you that that's a hierarchy
split? For all I know, Zosimo's a crook,

too. So what do I care what my employer
does?

Fine. Look, I'd only be driving a man
for a couple months until he gets his

license back.

Okay, you want to be his own little step
-in fetcher? Go ahead. Oh, come on.

Hey, white step -in fetcher, you know
he's going to be showing you off to his

boys. Hey, look what I got.

An authentic salute -the -flag ex -cop
drive in my hands.

Don't do it, Mike. It ain't you.

I'm so touched that you want me to stay
broke.

I'll be 6 .30.

Honey, do you have any singles? Oh,
yeah, I think I will.

Well, I know I put some in. Oh, here we
go. How many?

How much did you say again?

6 .30.

Uh, give me three.

Uh, no, two.

Here's seven.

You want change?

Oh, no, no.

Keep it.

I'm looking for Jack Shannon.

Who's talking?

Michael Shansky asked me to come by. He
inside?

What do you want?

I got to tell him something.

Jack.

What's going on?

Hey.

There he is.

Glad you came down.

Well?

I'll take the job.

Then what are we doing standing in the
rain?

Come on.

You're wearing those?

The pants.

Huh. I love these jeans.

I think the world probably knows that by
now.

Tomorrow, put on something a little
more... shiny.

I don't.

Nobody's gonna see the pants.

I'm just a driver.

That's the deal.

I'm not a doorman either.

Fine.

I'm able -bodied.

Ever been to the uptown?

Huh? You want a drink?

I'm driving.

Come on in.

Stretch your legs, hear some music.

My legs are okay.

Well, Shansky, the car's not driving
away without you.

Come on.

I feel guilty leaving a guy sitting in a
car. I'm not kidding. If I smell anyone

even thinking that I'm your muscle, I'm
out of there.

Don't flatter yourself.

Mark Nelson.

Michael Olshansky.

Hey. Got a club soda? I'll have a
Campari and ginger ale. And what else do

want? I know.

How about the five grand you owe me?

See ya.

Where you going? Mark and I were
partying. There's nothing bad going on

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You all right?

No, I'll wait in the car. You okay?

Thank you. My fault.

Sorry. You all right?

And Jack, the cooler went down. I had to
replace all the parts to buy off a

slipping fog. I'm not a bank, Mark. You
knew this.

You came to me with an idea. The only
reason you're in business here is

of me.

Give me until next week.

Next week. This is becoming like a
mantra with you. Next week, next week.

look at me.

This is not a negotiation anymore.

I've been patient and reasonable, but
you're out of time. I'm really sorry.

Midnight Friday.

Let me tell you a story. I don't like
stories.

Without a zoning variance, there's no
live music at that club.

No live music, the place is nothing.

I just want to drive.

You're just driving? I'm just talking.

My guy at City Hall wants 20 grand to
make it happen.

Mark Nelson has a decision to make.

Does he want to break the rules and be a
success?

Or does he want to play by the rules?

I've got a business in two weeks.

Get off the fence, I tell him. Decide,
whatever.

Just decide.

So he pays to get the zoning fudge.

Twenty grand. He comes up with that like
it's in his back pocket. But my end? My

lousy five grand?

That I gotta wait a week for.

Then another.

Meanwhile, this is months ago.

The best bands in the city are packing
the place. He can't count the cash as

fast as he's making it. But still, he
refuses to pay me.

That's a great story, Jack. Where to?

You know why he won't pay?

Once he got what he wanted.

Suddenly you're a bad guy.

Yeah.

Mind if I give you some advice?

Hey, get in line.

Don't be like Mark Nelson.

Get off the fence.

Thanks.

Don't be a sucker. You're not a cop
anymore because you thought you could be

both a good guy and a bad guy at the
same time. Good guy and bad guy being

terms, not mine.

And your terms being sucker and what?

You gotta choose like the rest of us.

Either way.

But you gotta choose.

Hey, I got it.

Oh, now that's attractive.

Says the guy who blows his nose and
leaves a damn napkin for me to look at

whole time I'm eating.

Didn't seem to have any effect.

So that's why you asked me out?

So you could have somebody to harass?

That was one reason.

And it won't stay alone.

You, usually.

I felt like company.

Because?

I don't know.

No reason.

Mike, it's me.

What's up?

What's up?

Fine.

Get the tip.

Give it to me, will you?

Oh, damn.

Hey, what's the problem?

Is this your car?

Yeah, I'm driving it.

Well, you parked in a towway zone.

By what? Half a foot? Hey, I give you
six inches. I got to give the next guy

seven.

Let me see your driver's license.

Well, this is my ticket. It's a company
car.

I know.

How much is the ticket?

Sixty bucks.

Sixty bucks? Yeah.

I parked in a tow zone, not on someone.

It will have four floor enterprises
reimburse you.

Who? We drive a company car, but you
don't know the name of the company?

I just started.

You know your boss's name?

Jack Shannon.

You work for Jack Shannon?

Yeah, kind of.

Give Jack my bed.

McClure.

Sure.

This is Jack Shannon business.

Is that why you asked me out to dinner?

Officer McClure sends his regards.

He treats you okay?

Treated me like a gangster.

Yeah, you must miss being treated like a
cabbie, huh?

People showing you a little respect,
cutting you some slack here and there.

Damn, man.

Pass the word. I don't want any favors.

Oh, come on. Everyone needs a little
grease in the wheels now and then.

I'll take care of myself.

Like you did when you took that drug
money?

You gonna need me to work tonight?

I feel bad for you, Olshansky.

Some of your old colleagues on the force
make your offense look like you pinched

toilet paper from the company John, and
you're the one that gets caught.

That's not right.

Hey, Heather.

Hey, Michael.

Oh, man, Dad, is that yours?

For the time being.

Cool.

What is it?

It's a job perk.

What happened to driving a cab?

Uh, I'm doing that, too.

Hey, I gotta pay for the kids' teas,
right?

Michael, I told you that Dad's gonna
help with that, see?

I'll get you another five by the end of
next week.

Who are you working for?

You never heard of them?

Small company.

And they give you a car?

Yeah, and I give you money.

It's my kid. My responsibility.

Thank you.

I gotta go.

I'll pick him up for school tomorrow.

Is that okay?

Yeah.

Hey, see you tomorrow.

Thanks for letting me stop.

You got a good -looking kid.

Yeah.

Except for his teeth.

Consider yourself lucky.

I have four, all native Braves.

Plus private school, hockey, gymnastics.

Kids take money. That's why I went into
business.

I'm no different from all the guys
behind any of these places.

How many CEOs hire someone because
they've seen them kick a guy's ass?

Violence comes with the territory.

It's the price they have to pay, and I
understand that. So do they.

If they could have gotten the money some
other way, they would have.

It's a need, and I feel it.

Who do you try to convince, me or you?

Hey, how you doing?

I heard you hung out here. I'm eating
dinner. I'm sorry.

I'm not paying him anymore.

You're an idiot.

I thought you could talk to him.

Check that. You give idiots a bad name.

And no matter what you've heard, no
matter what lies Shannon has told you, I

have paid.

I paid the principal.

The juice. The juice on the juice. I
must have paid the original tab ten

over. Pretty much how it works.

When you go to a loan shark, you pay fat
interest.

How many times am I supposed to keep
rolling the same rock up the hill? I

want what's fair. You went in.

eyes wide open hey i saw what you did
the waitress how you helped her

i got a problem with jack i figured
you're not like him i figured you're my

you have me all figured out look i need
someone to help me someone shannon

listens to he likes you respects you all
i'm asking is that you talk to the guy

$2 ,500 tomorrow and then $5 ,000 in
nine months.

Do you like this?

It's a win -win.

Nelson gets some breathing room and you
come out of here.

By losing money?

Well, Nelson wasn't going to pay you
anyway. He tells you this?

Yeah. He trusts me. He'll figure.

So, uh, unless you want to bury Bonds in
him upside the head.

No.

Why do you want to bother with small
potatoes like Mark Nelson?

The truth.

I find him attractive.

Look, I made a bad debt good here, Jack.

Nelson on board with this? Yeah.

I'm doing this for you, not him, you
understand?

No, I don't think you do.

This is your deal.

You brokered it. Whatever.

You're getting your money. No.

You're getting my money. Oh, whoa, whoa,
whoa.

You got your people for collecting.

Between them, they can't count to ten.

And why should they collect the
commission?

Either you take this account over, or I
go back to the old deal.

Nelson refuses to pay, and I gotta do
what I gotta do.

I'll handle it.

Okay.

We got a deal.

I'll give Nelson a nude.

Go fish.

So you're not just a driver anymore. Now
you're a negotiator for a lawn shark.

I found a way to give a guy a break.

Give him a helping hand. Let's try that.

You really need the money that bad?

Rez, I can't pay for my own son's
medical care.

So, easy money's the answer?

Easy? Yeah.

I think about how you got in there to
begin with.

Right. I'll give that a lot of thought.

Hey, how's this any different from the
money you stole?

It's a slippery slope, Mike. Let little
things pass, those little things get

bigger. Soon, you're letting things pass
you never even dreamed.

You know what's easy?

It's easy for you to talk morals.

You don't got a family to support.

Turn left when you get to 29th and G.
Pull in front of this door front.

Now, over there. The one with the flag
over the door.

Instead of telling me left here, right
here, you should have just said, take me

to Gigi Santoni's social club.

Oh.

You know, I need you to go to
Gentleman's Paradise. I left something

While I'm here, could you go get it?

Ask Marie.

She'll know.

What is it you want me to pick up?

Don't worry. It's nothing bad.

So tell me.

It's candy for Gigi's wife's birthday.

All right.

Same deal as before.

If it's not a box of chocolates, it
stays and I'm gone. Fair enough.

Mr. Shen.

Hey, Mr. Shen.

How you doing?

Make yourself at home.

You must feel shanty.

No candy, huh?

Coming in or what?

Look, I'm not... Jack wanted to thank
you.

But don't let that keep you from trying
to impress me with a tip.

And, uh, don't tell him I said that.

It's all tonight.

I don't know much for lap dances, but
some thanks anyway.

Your lap dances are for customers.

Oh.

Jack told me you're family.

You do this for family?

Buddy, come on.

Either I do this or I lose my job.

You want a drink or something first?

No. Forget the drink.

Look,

I've been married almost longer than
you've been alive.

You're not going to start crying, are
you? Yeah.

Rivers.

What's your wife's name?

Excuse me?

Your wife.

What's her name?

I'm not calling you Heather.

Sometimes it makes guys feel better.

You've done this before.

No.

I've busted this before.

I'm retired.

For a second I thought I had the wrong
guy.

You do.

We'll say we did, but...

We didn't.

You keep saying no, but I don't see you
leaving.

You

can

do this.

Jack bet me you wouldn't go for it.

Said we could have the evening set.

Won't be as much fun.

Not a sexist man, huh?

But you and me And

the road ahead

I can't save

You from yourself You gotta want it

All that's left Is you and me

Sweet new job.

Yeah, that's some advantage.

Yeah.

Thanks, Dad. I had fun.

Well, six years lost.

Your mother says you won't wear your
retainer.

Hey, um...

How much does a car like this cost? I
mean it, Michael. You've got to wear

retainer. I heard you. You heard me
you're going to wear it, or you just

me?

I heard you.

Michael,

you think stuff is free? You think
people just hand you stuff?

Guy handed you the tickets. No, I worked
for those tickets, and I worked at a

retainer, and I better not be wasting my
time.

I know you might find this hard to
believe now, but one day you will be

that you did.

I had braces.

I used to run to the boys' room all the
time to see if I had pieces of Apple

stuck in.

And then in 11th grade, the orthodontist
finally took them off, and it was like

a whole new me.

And that day, I got the guts to ask this
girl out that I really liked, Jamie

Long.

And she said yes.

Your braces now, I get lucky later, is
that it?

Lucky?

You even know what that means?

No.

Well, let's keep it that way.

If I was going to sell my soul, I would
have gone for the hooker.

Well, those seats for the Sixers cost
more.

Oh, you're enjoying this, aren't you?

You're glad you ignored my advice.

I told Zosimov I'm taking a few months
off.

A few months?

Two months from now, that hooker's going
to be waiting for you at home. The hot

meals, slippers.

So, you want to give me a ride home in
that Beamer?

Sorry, but I've got to meet someone.

Business?

Mark, where the hell are you?

Oh, no.

No, I understand.

Believe me, I understand.

Hey. How you doing?

Where's Mark?

In his office.

Sorry. We had an agreement.

I got 60 cases of beer coming in
tomorrow. They only take cash.

I cut a deal to save your ass. And now
my ass is on the line. Next week, I

promise. Next week?

Huh? Well, add your hair. You're saying
next week.

No wonder people want to hurt you. I got
expenses.

The health guys on me making me swap the
porcelain things for the stainless

steel. I don't care.

Juggle. I got to replace the floor
behind the bar. How do you juggle that?

don't care.

Every penny that you earn is Jack's
money until you pay off your debt. And

time you're spending money on anything
besides food, there's a slap in Jack's

face. I'm not trying to... Don't make me

do this. Look, I'm not... Don't play me
for a fool.

Shut up and give me my money. Look, I
told you, Nate.

Don't you say that again. Can we work
something out? We already did.

How much is here?

$2 ,000.

That's all I got.

Not good enough.

It is not good enough.

Mark!

I'm just taking what's ours.

You did good, Olshansky.

To be frank, I didn't expect this from
you.

Too bad about the game.

I hear they lost.

Yeah.

What's the matter?

Nothing. A little indigestion.

Yeah, I know.

This one time, we were forced to get
physical with a plumber who needed a

to stay solvent.

My guy slams the plumber's knee with a
pipe wrench.

Guy came out okay, but man.

I went home, threw up.

To this day, I still got a problem.

Nelson's just lucky you happened into
it. Imagine what my guys would have done

to him. Jack, look, uh... I don't...

I think I'm gonna retire from being your
driver.

You're riding on that fence again.

Everyone else wins, and all you get is a
sore ass. Well, you know, I'm getting

used to it. Don't.

You need to get your self -respect back.

I figure after a few months of steady
income for me and a few away from that

kid... No.

What if I told you I can help you in
other ways? No, look, I don't want your

help. Carl Weissman owes me a favor.

A big favor.

District Attorney Weissman?

How big a favor?

Big enough you don't just waste it on a
pulled license.

You save it for when a friend is under
felony indictment.

How does a guy like Weissman come to owe
you such a big favor?

Maybe someday I'll tell you. That is, if
you're still here to tell it to.

What about my old job?

I do this.

It's not so you can wear a badge.

Why would you do this for me?

I like you.

Want another?

Where'd you get the money?

One affidavit.

Showing the tab will be paid from a
legitimate source of income. Forget it.

pay for my own.

Fine.

Fine.

Took Mikey to see the Sixers get pounded
the other night.

How's your boss?

What is with you?

Did you beat up that guy at the blues
club? What? You heard me.

Where the hell did you get up? Did you
do it? Where the hell did you get up?

you do it or not?

No.

I'm trying to keep the guy out of the
hospital.

What did I do, huh?

What did I do?

Besides save your degenerate gambling
ass.

Grizz, you're a hypocrite.

You got no right to judge, Grizz.

You got no right to judge!

So?

Jack wants me to drive on a permanent
basis.

Huh? I gave you my thoughts.

Didn't want to listen. Went for the
money.

Money's not the only attraction.

No, I know. He's going to give you your
own nickname.

It's quite an honor in that world.

I don't think I could pass on that
either.

He's got Weissman in his pocket.

What does that mean exactly, in his
pocket?

Could have something to do with him
personally, or...

Maybe one of his kids. Who cares?

Do it.

I thought you'd sleep better at night.

Knowing I can't point a finger at you.

It's a win -win.

If the man can make this mess go away, I
say do it.

What happened to the step and fetch and
stuff?

Hey, if you have to eat crap, let it be
crap that can keep you out of jail.

If it was me, I'd be looking forward to
the meal.

Dragon waters, did the death give up
their dead?

What did you expect to find?

Was it something you left behind?

Don't you remember anything I said when
I said Don't

fall away Leave me to myself Don't fall

away

Looks like somebody drank.

That, uh... That primitive thing you
offer, it's pretty sweet.

You get sweeter the longer you're with
me. Yeah, that's what I figured, so... I

gotta say no.

You like the arm's length thing, I get
that.

So we stick with our current setup.

I gotta say no to that, too.

For 20 years, you're the first guy to
say no to me.

Sorry. You know what you're doing here?

D .A. Weissman. I can only make that
call if you're with me.

Thanks anyway.

Can you at least tell me why?

I love driving a cab.

Hey, I've been straight with you from
day one. You can at least return the

Curtis.

Because I played it dirty once.

And I liked it.

You'll be back.

Yeah, the BMW, the Sixers tickets. Well,
it sounds like reasons to stay to me.

Yeah, but if I stay, then I can't give
my son what he really needs.

And what's that?

You wouldn't understand.

You're not my problem. You don't like
work for other company.

I need to work double.

Olshansky, good morning.

Oh yeah, birds singing.

I need to work double.

Good for you. You're gonna be a rich
man. You got ambition.

Can I have a number?

2465. Only one left.

I think ran over something last night.

Smells that way.

Jack.
